Yo, man, what's up?

Hey, you know that's aspirin, not sugar.

Mm, yeah, I ain't blind yet.

Not bitter enough?

Aspirin's for the back.

Still?

Yeah. It's from all this sitting around.

That's what does it. They studied it.

Oh, uh...

Happy...

Happy birthday.

My birthday ain't until March.

Day you get out of here, that's your birthday.

Go on. Make a wish.

Didn't you once say wishes are for little boys

and men who had given up?

Just make your damn wish.

I'll save it for when I've given up.

Better be dust by then.

Turn right. Let's see the ink.

I gotta roll up here.

Comm check tower three.

Tower three, go to four...

Sign here for your gate check.

Open the gate. Comin' out.

Look, son, there's, uh, something else.

I have a daughter.

I know. I said I never met the right person...

Had a family, but I...I did.

I've got a daughter.

We haven't spoken in seven years.

As far as she knows, I...I might be dead.

I didn't know whether uh... If she was still

in Virginia or even the country.

Then the damnedest thing.

Now you know I'm not a religious man,

But... Then, well...

About a month ago this rose up out of the sea after a storm.

It's the mast of an old shipwreck off the Outer Banks.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, but that's not...

Look...

That's her.

That's Marina.

L-Block, time to frolic.

Are you sure?

Yeah, if I was on the outside I'd be down there tonight.

Go to Currituck for me, will ya?

See if you can find her.

Hey, Dovey, I got a bus idling on taxpayer gas. Let's go.

All right.

See ya, Dovey.

Yeah, don't bet on, CO.

Sometimes I dream I pass her on the street.

She just smiled...

And without even knowing it's me.

Let me know if she's happy.

I think I've earned that much from you.

Childress, yard.

You got it, Ray.

Thank you, son.

All right, hey, hey, come on.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, just take care of yourself.

It'll be a hell of a lot easier now

I ain't gotta take care of you.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Hey, man, what's up?

Ten and five and five is 20 and one.

That's only 21.

Yes, sir.

$27 minus the $6 fee.

Lucky 21.

Come on and get in there.

What the hell? That's off my ball.

You played off my ball.

I can take the shot if I want.

Ain't no tater scratchin'.

Where's that Tri-Tip?

All done, sugar?

Uh, yeah, sorry.

Sorry, thanks.

You ain't gotta be sorry, twice.

Well, you might get ready to call the cops.

You planning something?

Well, those four are about to make a mess of this place.

That's bullshit. You can't do that.

You shoot that over there...

Only eleven you spot it, god damn it.

Walter.

Y'all can bleed all you want out in the parking lot.

But you get stupid in here again,

you'll be doing your Sunday drinking

on your back porch this fall.

You got a space heater for that porch, Walt?

It's gonna be cold.

Come on, let's throw darts.

Yeah, make sure you throw them at the board this time.

Thank you.

With Walt, you've got to do some of the work his mammalian brain

should be doing but ain't.

Well, thanks, but I don't have--

I know.

You came in here with $21, right?

The warden owns this restaurant

and the check cashing place next door.

So, State gives you $27, you give it right back

that same afternoon.

- Damn. - Welcome back to "That's life."

That obvious?

Yeah.

Guys just out of St. Brides always sit there,

back to the corner, just like you.

They never look down at their plate, always out there.

Like you.

Must be weird not having to watch your back anymore.

Yeah.

You know. Just my wallet.

Well, that one's on me.

Kendra.

Dovey.

Like lovey-dovey?

Yeah.

Yeah, but just the Dovey part.

We'll see.

I just love these old records.

They're silly and fun and you can't get them out of your head.

Come on, sugar.

- I don't really dance. - Oh, we ain't gonna dance.

Who'd you get yourself off to in prison?

What?

Well you must have thought about somebody.

Some soft sweet thang that squeezed you just right.

Uh-huh.

Close your eyes.

Close.

What did you think about doing to her when you got free?

Mm-hmm.

What got you sent away?

You a killer?

No.

Oh, I bet you are.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a killer.

Show me how you did it.

Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Forget what a woman feels like?

I'm not...

I'm not like that.

I'm, um, thank you.

Sorry.

Lovey-dovey, my ass.

Damn.

You can still stay down like a turtle, can't you?

I've forgotten how nervous it makes me when I think

you ain't gonna come back up.

But you always do.

I'll pull that last pot.

Yeah, you sure?

Oh, thanks, Pops.

Hey, careful there.

Go ahead, let it out.

That's a fat haul.

We can boil some tonight.

That's good money in there.

Ah, no, we gonna celebrate tonight.

Not every day you get out.

I'd of come for you but...

My truck motor went out a month ago.

That's okay.

I missed you, boy.

And they took you for no good reason.

I guess they found reason enough.

Anyway...

Welcome home.

Come here, bitch.

Eyes down, Fish.

You don't wanna be a witness.

About time you got up.

You gotta be there in an hour.

Here, I got you something.

Try it on.

Yeah, that's sharp.

First impressions, right?

Yeah.

Who's your parole officer?

- Bonnie Bell. - Bonnie Bell.

Sounds like a sweet little ol' granny.

Dovey, huh?

Since I was 12.

You know how a name that's meant to hurt

and you claim it for your own.

Hm.

- You staying with your dad? - Yes, ma'am.
