- Hola, hola. - Hola.

Bastion.

B-a-s-t-i-o-n.

I don't think I can,

Those are your days, you saved them.

I know that by I can't ask

for more than a week consecutive.

Like that's just, that's policy

so I know she's not gonna say yes.

Don't laugh, I'm serious.

I'm not, I'm not.

Sorry, I didn't see there was a light switch there,

else I'd have turned it on.

Are you merle klein?

Yeah.

And your father was Wayne klein, the singer?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

This is gonna sound a bit strange

but my name is Sinaloa

and I'm your sister, half-sister.

Yeah.

So no one ever told you about me.

I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised.

Why's that?

Did you know him very well?

Probably not like you.

But he knew about you?

I mean, like you actually knew him?

No, he'd come and see us whenever they toured through.

Come down, stay a few days.

Come down where?

Brighton, it's south of London, it's on the coast.

Now when I was nine he came and stayed with us

for a whole month working on a new album.

He'd get up, go down to the beach,

write all day next to the pier.

He didn't come back after that.

- Which album? - Say again?

Which album did he write when he stayed with y'all?

Cold blind religion.

It's all based on old English ballads.

Yeah, I know it.

Well look, I just thought we should meet.

I haven't got any family left, so.

Sorry to hear that.

I heard some good things about Austin though,

so I thought maybe at least I'd come play a few gigs.

- You're a musician? - Guitar, singer-songwriter.

Austin is the real shit so you're gonna love it.

It seems kind of,

I don't know, it's not quite what I imagined.

- Where's your guitar? - Funny story.

I got mugged in new Orleans last week

having a pee in the park, so minus one guitar.

And where are you staying right now?

Oh, some kids told me

about a place I could crash at.

We can give you a ride, what part of town?

That would be fucking brilliant.

That's way out by the airport I think.

Oh well I can hop a bus or something if it's a pain.

No, I don't think buses--

no worries, I'll figure it out.

Oh, it was lovely meet you both.

Hey,

if I find a gig,

maybe you come?

Yeah, sure.

Bye.

- We should-- - no.

Come on, she's family.

Raúl.

Come on.

Raúl!

Hey, excuse me.

Sina...Loa, is that it?

Ah it's no problem at all, friends stay here all the time.

That's how we do it in the atx.

Put her in Ray's room for tonight?

- Ummm. - I'll get your things.

Who's ray?

Raúl's son.

He's with us on the weekends, so.

Are you guys married?

No, we're engaged.

This is a nice place, what's the rent like?

- I own it actually. - Really?

I bought it 10 years ago, fixed it up.

It was pretty much falling down then, so.

I definitely couldn't afford

to buy in this neighborhood now.

Right, can I use your toilet?

Sure yeah, it's the middle doorway in the hall.

What the fuck are you doing?

- It's just for tonight. - I don't care.

She's your sister.

So the only thing people know about my hometown

is that there's a song written about El Paso, it was,

what was the name of that song, the writer?

What happened to Wayne's songs?

Well my mom had to sell off most of the catalog, so.

There were a bunch of debts

and a few other things we had to deal with.

I don't know if you're looking to record or--

no, I mean like what he wrote down.

Like chord charts and notebooks and anything like that,

I'd just like to have a look.

Gosh yeah, you know I'd have to think about that.

Will you pass the strawberries?

So Sinaloa, we're actually about to head

out of town today for the long weekend.

Yeah, we're throwing an

engagement party out in hill country.

I would've liked to have spend a little bit more--

I can go find that other place to crash at.

Well,

we can drop you on our way out of town.

Are you sure?

Of course, it's pretty far from here.

If it's no trouble?

- Yeah no that's, yep... - No, it's no trouble.

Wait, this can't be right.

No, this is it.

Thanks again for the lift, guys.

I will come by next week if I'm still in town.

Okay.

- Nice to meet you, ray. - Bye.

Bye.

Wait hold on, we should watch 'til she gets inside.

- Merle! - What?

You'd really let that poor--

she's okay, she's fine.

What are we supposed to do here?

You know what I think.

How did you find this place?

It was my grandparents'.

It's been in the family since the 1840s.

Wayne's parents?

Yeah, it's about 160 acres in total.

And it's just sitting here?

No, we lease the land out for grazing and

rent the house out during hunting season.

But it covers the taxes so i can keep it in the family.

You own this?

Yeah.

That's great.

It's such a cool old place.

Yeah, Raúl thinks we should fix it up,

make it into a bed and breakfast.

Put in some grapevines...

Apparently fredericksburg is the next napa.

Christ, don't do that.

Beautiful.

Yeah, it's a nice spot.

Got a lot of family ashes scattered around here.

Not our boy, though.

he wanted someplace folks could visit.

I used to think he was so weird

that he went down to the beach to write,

like the worst touristy part of it.

I reckon now he liked the foot traffic

more than anything else.

Folks would stop by our house all hours,

guitar in one hand, bottle in the other.

Some of those sessions went on for days.

That must have been amazing

to grow up with so much music in the house.

Sometimes.

So did he tell you about me, or?

No.

I read your name in the obituary.

Hey, are y'all ready to eat?

Yeah.

Who is that for?

There's also this,

this.

- No fuckin' way. - It's just his old beater.

It's not worth anything except for just you know,

sentimental I guess.

Actually I'm not sure if it's still playable 'cause

you know no one's touched it since--

you got me, i can't play this game,

you gotta split my cards.

I don't wanna play anymore.

- You're a sore loser. - You're a sore loser!

Hey.

Do you need anything?

I'm good, thanks.

Any requests?

Do you know wax wing?

I always think of that when I'm here.

You should sing it.

Come on.

I can't.

Bollocks.

No I mean it, I can't, I'm completely tone-deaf.

That's too bad.

Oh hey, y'all.

Where's this party at?

Hey there, Patricia.
