It's me.
How are you feeling?
Do you want some water?
Y-you need to pull it, Roland.
Suck.
Oh, shit.
I got to...
So, I'd appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Shouldn't take long... an hour, maybe.
But sooner we do this, the better.
I'm sure you understand.
Let me know when I should expect you.
Thank you, Mrs. Talbot.
What can I do for you, Carl?
Have a seat, Trey.
Your Tundra... what color is that?
Some kind of brown or... what?
"Desert Sand Mica" is what they call it.
"Desert Sand Mica". Mm-hmm.
Amazing that it's somebody's job
thinking up names for colors.
Okay. Thanks for coming in.
That's it?
That's it.
You asked me one question, Carl.
Yeah.
Could've just asked me on the phone.
Next time, I'll ask you on the phone.
Next time.
Well, shit, while I got you here,
I just got these DNA results back from the lab.
Looks like it was George Melton's semen
on Hanna Dean's underwear.
Damn.
Old Georgie lied on the witness stand.
Ain't that some shit?
Did he?
Did he what?
Lie.
Well, it would seem like it.
But, hell, who knows?
Yep. Who knows?
Anyway, I thought you were trying to find out
how George died, sheriff,
not who screwed some girl 20 years ago.
I'm trying to find out a lot of things, Trey.
Wow.
You think you know people.
Well, see you around, I guess.
I imagine.
A jacket.
What?
You asked me the other day
what Daniel was wearing when we went down to Florida.
He was wearing a jacket?
I remembered after you left. Um...
Baggy old thing, had lots of pockets,
like a army coat or something.
Well, that makes more sense.
Thanks, Trey.
Anytime.
Bar stools and barbecue joints?
Is that all we are now?
I didn't think we were anything now.
Nice uni.
- It's bold. - Among other things.
Amantha Holden, associate manager.
Man, they'll take anybody.
What?
Damn, you're beautiful.
Jon...
It's just an observation. Don't take it personally.
Thought you were all packed up, heading out.
I was.
Now you're not?
It's your brother.
Great.
There he is.
He's been out here all day.
Hardest worker I've ever had.
I didn't know you were finished already, buddy.
I'm not finished.
Dad-gum close.
Melvin's been bringing me up to speed on your job,
singing your praises.
Didn't know that house calls
were part of your probationary purview.
They're not usually. I'm here on my lunch hour.
Do you mind stepping out of the pool?
Uh... i-i need to check on a few things
in the office anyway, so...
Thanks, Melvin.
I called you twice this morning, Daniel.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Uh, I didn't have my phone on me.
Then you need to get it and keep it on you.
You must be accessible every day, everywhere.
That is your responsibility as a probationer.
Yes, ma'am.
At our last meeting, I gave you a housing form.
You were required to have it signed by your sister, correct?
Oh, yeah. Right.
The form was due yesterday, Daniel.
I'm sorry. M-my sister's been out of town.
Is she back now?
She is, I think.
Then why don't you have it?
Got lost in the pool, I guess.
Here's another form.
I want to make sure you understand
the severity of the situation, Daniel.
The fact that you are under suspicion
for a very serious crime
makes your probation much easier to revoke.
They can lock you up for jaywalking.
I'll watch my step, then.
Is that a joke?
It's just the way I think.
You have to bend to this life, Daniel.
It does not bend to you.
Have the form on my desk by 5:00 today.
No more excuses.
So, I'd appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Shouldn't take long... An hour, maybe.
But sooner we do this, the better.
I'm sure you understand.
Let me know when I can expect you.
Thank you, Mrs. Talbot.
Hey.
Hey.
Glad you decided to come.
You mean that?
Of course.
Now, obviously,
a couple is made up of two people.
And two people... any two people...
Have their own individual attributes and complexities
that they bring to each of the
relationships in their lives,
including, and especially, a marriage.
So while it may seem counter-intuitive at first,
a lot of what we do in couples counseling
is talk about ourselves, individually.
Individually. Got it.
So...
Tell us about your life, Teddy.
Like where I was hatched?
Perfect.
Right here in Paulie.
And you grew up here?
Never left.
Uh, except for college, um, which is where we met.
Um, I mean, not in college, but in the town...
Statesboro, GA
I'd gone back for homecoming, and there she was,
this beautiful girl working at the Chicken Shack.
Rest is history, I guess.
Or therapy.
That's a sweet story, Teddy,
but I want to put a pin
in the Chicken Shack for a minute,
if that's okay.
Pin in the Chicken. Okay.
I want to talk about your courtship, I do,
and we'll get there,
but I want to hang back in your childhood for a bit,
learn more about you.
Individually.
You got it.
Why in the hell would Daniel go to Florida
with Trey Willis of all people?
He said he wanted to see George. Trey offered him a ride.
Why would he want to do that... either of those things?
He's your brother.
The master of baffling decisions. Jesus.
Look, if I was in the sheriff's position,
it's not hard to see myself heading down a similar path.
Daggett, man.
George Melton's testimony against Daniel is a problem.
A testimony which was a lie.
And Daniel knew it was a lie,
hence the motive in Daggett's mind.
What about Trey Willis or those other assholes?
They have motive. They always have... In Amantha's mind.
I think he's looking at Trey, too.
Let me get this straight.
So, Daniel finally gets out after 20 years in a goddamn box,
and the first thing he does is kill a guy
- so he can go right back? - I know.
Where would he get the gun, Jon? It's absurd.
To us, yes, but to them, they're just trying to find
the straightest line between the two points.
Well, they need to find a more crooked path.
Does mom know?
I called her last night.
Thanks for taking that bullet.
You can't smoke that in here.
I know. I'm just
Need something to look forward to.
Amantha, he didn't kill George Melton,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
