Gator Lake

Come on, Ricky! Let the lead out, boy!

We ain't got all night, you know?

Hey! Hey! Hey! Careful, I got the beer!

I got the beer, boy. Come on! Come on, let's go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Shh! Shh! Shh!

Here, gator, gator.

Where are you at?

Oh, look, come here.

That's what I'm talking about. Look at that, Ricky.

Oh, yeah!

Somebody 'bout to get paid!

Whoo!

Dicky and Ricky to the moon! Let's go! Come on!

Oh, oh, oh!

Lake's closed.

Give me a break!

Hey, Ricky, "Don't feed the gators."

Fuck the gators.

Here we go! You ready?

Mm!

Get out of my way!

Ricky and Dicky to the moon, baby!

It hurts! Get the gun, Ricky!

Shoot 'em!

And the devastation continues.

Less than a week since Bonecrusher's disappearance

from local attraction Gator Galaxy,

and more bodies, well, parts of bodies have turned up.

Early this morning, two very lucky to be alive brothers

thought they were reeling in a catfish.

It was no fish.

Two torsos and various other body parts

have been found here at Gator Point this morning,

most likely, the remains of two Gator Galaxy employees

taking their shot at the heavily publicized

$10,000 reward.

Authorities seem overwhelmed

and, quite frankly, confused

at the number of cases now before them.

Does Jesup City mayor Sam Neuhauser

have a strategy to keep his citizens safe?

At this time, it doesn't seem that he does.

I'm Monica Logan, Action 12 News, New York.

This can't be happening now.

No, no, no, no. Cynthia?

-Cynthia? -Yes, sir.

Call Jim and tell him to get his ass over here now.

Sam, language?

I'll pay.

This has gotten out of control, and Jim is not on top of this.

And cancel my tee time.

Goddamn it!

What the hell does he do over there all day?

Can someone tell me that, Cynthia?

My gosh, I've worked my tail off for the people of this city...

Jim Fisher, please.

...and this is how I'm repaid.

Jim's on the line.

Thank you!

Jim, what the hell's going on over there?

All right.

You got my full attention.

Are you aware that Bonecrusher's disappearance

has become an international story?

Well, it seems it has.

I have built an amazing business here.

You know, the other day I did an interview

with an Italian news station.

They could not believe this place.

Our New York ratings soared when we first reported

from here in '95.

Oh, yeah, '95. I remember that.

Covering your gators, especially Bonecrusher,

has been the highlight in my career.

What you have here, Mr. Sullivan, is so unique.

Alligators are simply a global fascination.

Well, you know, they are the closest thing

we have to dinosaurs, right?

Look at that fella right over there.

Prehistoric in every way.

Kinda like old Turklin back there.

Have you spoken to Jim Fisher,

Jesup City's Fish and Wildlife Commissioner?

Waste of time.

Guy's a clown.

He can't do anything to stop this.

Look, here's the deal. I train my gators to kill.

That's what sells in my business.

If this is Bonecrusher's work,

nobody's safe.

God help us all. Truly.

Cut.

-How'd I do? -You know how you did.

You were born for this.

What do you say you and I, we go get a drink,

take you over to the gator jumperoo.

Maybe old Nate there

can stay back and clean his lenses.

I'd love that.

Thought you might.

We got a good gig here, Jim.

And I'm trying to get reelected.

But people are dying on my lake.

That'll definitely cost you some voters.

Yeah, it will.

Jim, this is all happening on your watch.

You're my Fish and Wildlife guy,

and Sullivan's out there calling you a clown.

That son of a...

Look, with all due respect, Sam, but that's his modus operandi.

He pits people against each other.

It's good for his business.

Well, yeah, I'd say that it is.

He's got Italian networks doing interviews here.

In Jesup City.

You know, I always wanted to take Sally to Florence.

-It's-- -Jim!

This is bad...

for both of us.

You're right. Right.

Phones are ringing off the hook,

and I don't know what to tell them.

What?

I might have an idea.

What is it?

It's not so much what it is.

It's who it is...

All right, here goes nothing.

Good after--

Good afternoon.

Who the fuck are you?

Jim Fisher.

Jesup City Fish and Wildlife.

You got a minute to talk about what's happening on the lake?

Yeah, sure you do.

So, um, we need help neutralizing the situation.

I'm out of that business.

I like having all my limbs.

Hell of a souvenir you got there.

Look,

you worked with Bonecrusher at Gator Galaxy.

You know him better than anybody.

And I'm thinking, you knowing Sullivan's behind this

would make you mad.

That was a lifetime ago.

I told you, I'm out of that business.

You know, Mayor Neuhauser and the governor,

they were both Kappa Sigs at UF.

It's a fraternity.

That's a Greek word for a club or group of like-minded men--

I know what a fucking fraternity is, asshole.

All right. Okay. Sorry.

Look, I'm gonna get right to it.

Everybody south of Ocala knows

that Sullivan screwed you over, and so did the state of Florida.

I mean, you might be free and all,

but can you really call this free

with those terms they stuck you with?

The governor can change all that.

How?

With a pardon.

The governor can make those terms go bye-bye,

and you can see your daughter again.

My direct number is on the back.

I hope to hear from you soon.

You got to admit,

the only person winning in all of this is Sullivan.

Hunting Bonecrusher in exchange for my actual freedom.

Not this shit.

It's my first chance to put 22 years of rage to work.

I knew I was in the second I heard Sullivan was behind it.

He's in.

Just like that?

He wants the pardon.

Well, good work, Jim.

We might be able to have the re-election event after all.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Right.

He say how long it'll take?

Nope. But you can ask him yourself.

He wants to meet you tonight at the lake at 6:00.

Well, I'm not going to the lake.

Why the hell would I go to the lake?

It's his one condition.

He wants to know you can deliver the governor,

and he wants it at the lake.

Well, Jim, I'm the mayor,

and I want to give it to him here.

Goddamn it, Jim!

He's a big son of a bitch, Sam. I don't know what to tell you!

I...

Fuck!

Oh, man.

Can I explain?

I didn't think so.

Son of a bitch.

Bubba Coggins.

Lainy.

I didn't know you'd still be here.

Where in the hell would I go?
