Nocturnal Animals (2016) Edit

A couple of years in graduate school.

A different kind of strength.

A great writer? I mean, I don't... I don't think so.

A month before the baby comes,

A nomination? She's gonna win.

Acquittal on a **** charge. I put out an APB on him.

After what I did to his child.

ALESSIA: Do you still love him?

ALEX: Don't forget you have a board meeting at the museum at 3:00.

All right, all right.

All right, ask your mother. She's the boss.

All right, come on. Get dressed. Come on.

All right, do you want me to grab them for you? I can hold that.

All right, thank you.

All right.

All right.

All the time.

ALL: (SHOUTING) Hey!

Although I don't really think it's necessary.

And as I can recall it,

And because we think they mean something.

And believe in me.

And believe me, our world is a lot less painful than the real world.

And charge you with something.

And Edward's not gonna be able to give them to you.

And Edward's not gonna be able to give them to you.

And having a gay husband is not such a bad thing, you know?

And he titled it Nocturnal Animals and he dedicated it to me.

And I can promise you, if you marry Edward,

And I can talk to her if I want to.

And I can talk to her if I want to.

And I don't wanna have to sell anything else.

And I sure as hell don't have any other witnesses.

And I wanna know if they knew it was happening to them.

And I wanna know what my daughter said.

And I want you to come with me.

And I would like to be more involved

And I'm gonna go find Ray.

And I've thought that since I was a little boy.

And if I write it down, then,

And it would be good to see you after so long.

And it's

And later my wife and daughter were found dead

And people will think we're ahead of the curve instead of going broke.

And she backs him up.

And she is going to get a nomination this year.

And that lasts longer than lust, doesn't it?

And that's not good, right?

And the fella at the hold up.

And the sound's incredible. You can actually hear her breathing.

And then have someone you love tell you that they don't understand it?

And then I gotta go to the airport, and then I gotta go back to New York.

And then I'm gonna go grab his ass and take him to my camp.

And then recently he sent me this book that he's written

And then we'll see what he does.

And then when you started to walk out, you saw 'em coming in again.

And they had both been ****d.

And two of them forced their way into my car with my wife and my daughter.

And what kind of strength is that?

And you called out for me, trying to lure me into your trap.

And you came back in my car

And you can help yourself out by telling me about it.

And you were my first crush too.

And you'll only hurt Edward in the end.

And you're saying it when you sigh.

Andes here.

ANDES: All right, that's enough. Come on.

ANDES: Come on, let's take a look.

ANDES: Hey, now. Hey, now.

ANDES: I got some news you're not gonna like.

ANDES: I'll see you in a minute, okay?

ANDES: Mmm. I don't think so.

ANDES: No, no, no, no, no, no. Hold up, son.

ANDES: Now, we're going to a place you might remember,

ANDES: Oh, is that why you went back there, Ray?

ANDES: Oh, yeah?

ANDES: Stop the car, Tony.

ANDES: This is part of the old Valdes place.

ANDES: Tony.

ANDES: Turn around and look at this piece of shit.

ANDES: Well, his hands were probably on your wife.

ANDES: Well, that may be, but nobody's seen him around here lately.

ANNE: Why didn't you tell me this before?

Answer me, you fucking bastard!

Answer me!

Answer me!

Anyway, Ray claims

Anyways, I think we should cut her loose.

Are gonna be very important to you,

Are things a little better?

Are you afraid to look this fella in the eye? Let him see you?

Are you gonna cry?

Are you in trouble for all this?

Are you okay?

Are you sleeping?

Aren't you being a little hard on them?

As much right as anyone, Susan, as much right as anyone,

At least you got to lay a good belt on him.

At the supermarket in the mall last night just before closing.

Aw, okay. Well, since you're feeling so uncomfortable...

Baby, look at your daddy. He thinks he's so much better than me, huh?

Bass is your equal.

Because I gotta go back to the office,

Because I just had it completely rebuilt. It's a classic.

Because I'm too cynical to be an artist.

Because I'm too cynical to be an artist.

Because it... That makes me feel like you don't believe in me.

Because it's all relative.

Because we're driven.

Because you always get so fucking defensive.

Becoming a great writer.

Believe me, I wish I could, but...

Boo.

Both of you.

But aren't you at Yale becoming a great artist?

But as far as I'm concerned...

But do not marry him.

But he also keeps another spot

But he is also very fragile.

But he is strong.

But I have to go again if I wanna get this deal done,

But I live in the real world and I need a life that is more structured.

But if you don't remember,

But they just see us as a reflection of themselves,

But we'll call if we get anything.

But what would you say if I told you

But you and I are a lot more alike than you think.

But you're saying it with your face

But you're wrong.

By the look of it and the sound of it. It sounded like my car.

By the time I left the office, I was late for my dinner and...

Bye bye, sweetheart. I love you.

Calm down, sunshine.

Calm down. He ain't never killed nobody yet, that's all I mean.

Calm down. We got an accident to report, that's all.

Can I call you later?

Can you take it from here?

Can't change a tire without a spare.

Carlos told me.

CHLOE: So I said,

Christ's sake! Fixing your goddamn tire.

CHRISTOPHER: Mrs. Morrow, a package arrived for you.

Columbia? I thought that you were at the University of Texas

Come back here, you little fuckers!

Come on in.

Come on, finish up what you're doing and let's go.

Come on, get 'em out.

Come on, here. Have you seen what you did to my car?

Come on, man.

Come on, now.

Come on, Susan.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. We gotta get up.

Coming home late at night,

Could you see 'em in the dark?

Dad. Dad.

Darling, you are a big success.

Dear Susan, I've written a novel that will be published in the spring.

Did you call my psychopharmacologist? Did you call him?

Did you ever?

Did you have fun

Did you love him?

Do we really have to stop tonight? I'd rather just get there.

Do you have anyone in your life?

Do you know that?

Do you know what it feels like to put yourself out on the line creatively

Do you mind turning round?

Does he look like he could be the guy?

Don't worry, honey. It's okay.

Don't worry, I can fill the walls with some new LA artists

Don't you wanna put these guys away?

Don't...

Dude. Has he gotta lift your wife and your child and the car?

Edward who?

Edward, my first husband. You remember him.

Edward, um,

EDWARD: I guess it's a way of keeping things alive.

EDWARD: That's because you choose not to be.

Especially my mother.

Except maybe Cooper.

Fifteen minutes, and it would have meant a lot to me.

For the handsome and dashing Hutton.

Fuck off

Fuck you.

Fuck.

Fuck. What's wrong with you, man?

Fucking bitch. Uppity rich bitch.

Fucking son of a bitch.

Fucking unbelievable.

Fun?

Get a little rough, make him suffer.

Get off my property, man.

Get some sleep.

Get up.

Get up. Go on, now.

Go ahead.

Go back to bed.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on. Go on.

Go over there.

Go. Fuck off.

God damn it. You sure?

God damn, that looks bad. You might need...

Good.

Good.

Good.

Gotta lift your car up on the jack, so get 'em out.

GRAVES: Mr. Hastings, there's no town

GRAVES: This is Lieutenant Graves.

Guy doesn't even live here. He's in El Paso.

Hang out with a guy like Andes who kills people?

Has she been a help?

Have you got a fucking vagina there?

Have you guys even talked in 20 years?

He ain't gonna stick around for long.

He and the D.A. made a deal and Ray got off. Politics.

He has no money.

He has the strength to believe in himself

He has the strength to believe in himself

He has to catch a plane. I'm gonna say goodbye.

He is a romantic.

He just hates not to win.

He might get shot by a burglar.

He needs corroboration.

He took me to the middle of the desert and he left me there.

He wants to know if he can pick you up in a few minutes.

He was a writer and, uh, I didn't have faith in him.

He was with that little girl, Leila whatever her name is,

He wrote a novel.

He'll never find out.

He's a little smartass from Dallas.

He's been named as a frequent companion

He's crazy.

He's dead.

He's got a gun.

He's got a record in California. A stolen car,

He's just having a hard time with his business right now.

He's not a bad match to your description

He's not driven. He's not ambitious.

He's on his way.

He's stronger than I am in a lot of ways.

He's the lawyer the court appointed for Ray.

He's the only lead we got, Tony,

Hell, I don't know. I don't really give a shit.

Hello?

Hence the clever toilet facilities.

Her aunt backs her up.

Here, you use this, right?

Hey, asshole, pull over. Pull over.

Hey, come on!

Hey, hey. It's okay.

Hey, man, this ain't legal. If this were legal,

Hey, mister! Your wife!

Hey, motherfucker, pull over. Pull the fuck over!

Hey, no, stop.

Hey, Turk.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Wait! No.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

His record's clean, except for a **** charge that got dropped.

Hmm.

Honey, that's a deal breaker for me.

HOSTESS: Right this way, sir.

How are you gonna get anything done if you can't eat?

How do you do it?

How do you know that?

How do you think we're gonna get there, though?

How far up the road till we can get a signal?

How is that even possible?

How?

Hutton and I don't have that.

Hutton would be very upset to find out anybody knew.

HUTTON: Are you okay?

HUTTON: I promise it'll be okay.

HUTTON: I'll make it okay.

HUTTON: I'm at my floor. I gotta run. I'll call you later, okay? Susan?

I agree with Linda. We hired her. We should support her.

I ain't gonna kill you, son.

I am fine. I am...

I am. I just can't believe that I told you all of those things.

I bet your friend Ray's the third fella in the hold up.

I came out of that barbwire fence right there.

I came up... I came up right here,

I can think of something.

I can't do this with you anymore, Edward.

I can't fix a tire, so I can't... I need their help.

I can't see him. Make him turn around.

I could try.

I did, but what are we supposed to do, sing campfire songs or something?

I didn't know he could write.

I didn't know you had an ex husband. Since when?

I do worry about you. Even though you think that I don't, I do.

I don't believe that.

I don't believe that.

I don't get it. What are we doing here?

I don't give a goddamn fuck that you shot him!

I don't know any more about this hold up than I did before I met you.

I don't know nothing about that.

I don't know what to do. Maybe, you know,

I don't really care about all this art.

I don't see what's wrong with that.

I don't think he knew back then, but he was obsessed with you.

I don't think so, Ray. Put your hands out in front of you.

I don't think so.

I don't think you need to worry about your wife and kid.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

I don't wanna fight. I'm tired and I'm edgy.

I feel like I've been a bad friend. I hope I didn't hurt him.

I feel ungrateful not to be happy.

I felt like such an impostor at school.

I found it in the mailbox this morning.

I got a certain pride in how people talk to me.

I got it.

I have a daughter in Corpus.

I have... I have credit cards.

I haven't called him in a few years.

I heard from this barman at this place, Line Camp Bar,

I hope this deal works out for you.

I hope you got some sleep on the plane.

I just can't keep doing this.

I just don't think I'm ever gonna be able to look at Edward again

I just, my mind started to wander when I was reading it,

I just... She just always seemed sad to me.

I know we all have different, you know, opinions about this,

I know you do.

I know you think that we don't care about the same things,

I know, but now I think we should keep her.

I know.

I left him in a brutal way,

I like long walks and kittens.

I love you.

I mean, I'm just being a realist.

I mean, that's really romantic, but, like, what? This is it?

I mean, where is this gonna go?

I mean, you're gonna work at a book store and just write a novel,

I miss you.

I need you to eat something.

I only spent so much time around your brother just to be around you.

I panicked and I did something horrible to him.

I read you your rights, didn't I, Tony?

I read you your rights.

I really did, but I'm just not that person.

I regret it now.

I remember your fucking wife.

I said he ain't killed nobody yet.

I saw that when his father died.

I see. Right. I don't think he understands.

I set the alarm.

I should have protected them.

I should have seen it coming.

I should have stopped it, Bobby.

I should have stopped it!

I should have stopped it.

I should have stopped it.

I suspect he's gonna go for the highway.

I think he's teaching English at some prep school in Dallas.

I think it was mine.

I think that to be really, really good,

I think that you should write about something other than yourself.

I think we just want different things, or I want different things.

I think what we should do, Tony,

I thought I saw someone.

I thought the work was incredibly strong.

I thought you were the one who wanted to drive all night.

I told you, I don't know nothin' about this situation.

I told you, I got lung cancer. It's metastasized.

I understand. I've always loved your mom.

I wanna ask you some questions.

I wanna know how you killed them.

I wanna know if they hurt.

I wanna know the exact story, what you did to them.

I wanna know what my wife said

I wanna know what they felt!

I want to be the person that you want me to be, but I just can't.

I wanted you to be the first to read it, so I'm sending along a proof.

I was afraid of that.

I was so busy trying to be perfect and...

I will be in LA until Wednesday on business

I wonder if I made a mistake.

I wonder why there aren't any fingerprints.

I, actually... I feel terrible.

I, I really wanted to be this person that you thought I was,

I'll go that direction.

I'll teach you a fucking thing or two.

I'm a policeman.

I'm also not gonna stand by and watch a murderer go free.

I'm answering the questions, ain't I? Come on.

I'm being summoned. Pardon me.

I'm Bobby Andes. I look into things around here.

I'm certainly the only woman in his life.

I'm dying, remember?

I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm fucking glad that he's dead!

I'm glad that you shot him!

I'm going to marry Edward. That's where this is going to go.

I'm gonna ask you a different question.

I'm gonna charge him with murder.

I'm gonna let that little idiot get nice and liquored up

I'm gonna live to regret this.

I'm here for an interview for a scholarship at Columbia.

I'm just kind of embarrassed, you know.

I'm just really, really unhappy.

I'm just walking in the door of the hotel.

I'm not getting out of the car, sweetheart.

I'm not gonna let this asshole D.A. fuck up my last case.

I'm not sure how I'm gonna fare.

I'm occupied at the moment.

I'm real sorry, Tony.

I'm really sorry about your phone. I can, um...

I'm recording this entire conversation.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. Can you help me open this? I just got a paper cut.

I'm sorry. Really, I...

I'm sorry. What was that?

I'm surprised. I thought we were hiding it pretty well.

I'm worried about you, seriously.

I've been writing all night. I just wanted you to like it, all right?

I've gotta get some Pam.

I've never seen him before in my life.

I've seen how handy you are with that thing.

I've seen too many sick fucks like Ray Marcus get off over the years.

If I hadn't caught you staring at me so much,

If Lou had done that, you would have taken me in.

If my woman accuses me of fucking somebody else,

If not, it might be nice to have a weekend alone.

If they found out their best friend was in love with them.

If we didn't live in the real world,

If we move fast.

If you can't sleep, why don't you take one of your pills?

If you don't mind, we could use your fingerprints.

If you massage your pussy with Pam cooking spray

If you think this guy's gonna break me down,

If you'd listen to me, you'd hear what I was saying.

If your daughter thinks I'm a rapist, then she gets ****d.

In a few years, all these bourgeois things, as you so like to call them,

In a few years, all these bourgeois things, as you so like to call them,

In a few years.

In both cars.

India, don't look at them.

India, you've been on that thing for hours.

INDIA: Don't believe him. We don't have a flat.

INDIA: Leave him alone.

INDIA: Let me go! What's it to you anyway?

INDIA: Oh, no.

INDIA: Stop it!

INDIA: Well, Dad, you're gonna get your wish.

India.

India. Is your phone working yet, India?

India...

India...

Is it better?

Is she all right?

Is we should just kill them right now.

It ain't familiar to you?

It ain't your car, man. Keep going.

It could help us sort 'em out.

It doesn't matter whose fault it was. Let's get going.

It don't remind you of nothing, take you back?

It gives me the right.

It has a terrible sound system.

It pisses me off.

It seems to me you tried this trick already.

It turns out you were right about that trailer, too.

It was an accident?

It was as thin as coconut water.

It was part of the series like eight years ago.

It went well, by the way. Apparently.

It would have taken you 15 minutes.

It'll last forever.

It's a goddamn shame.

It's a lot less painful.

It's a question of how serious you are about seeing justice done.

It's a shame. But I didn't have nothin' to do with it.

It's all right, honey. Just get out of the car. They need to fix the car.

It's all the legal we need, boy.

It's different from the kind of things that I was writing

It's fine. A new one comes out next week anyway, so...

It's forever, really.

It's fun to kill people?

It's fun to kill people.

It's funny, 'cause I always envied your family.

It's gonna be rough for 'em out there,

It's in White Creek near the trailer where they took your folks.

It's junk. It is junk.

It's just a flashlight. It's all right.

It's just me for the moment.

It's just right under there.

It's my understanding these fellas didn't have any guns.

It's not what I'd expect from a Texas debutante.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. Don't get out the car.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's right underneath here. There you go.

It's sad, really. He never remarried.

It's still early, Mr. Hastings.

It's this app that lets me watch Willow while she's in her crib.

It's time for you to get out now, okay?

It's true, I know.

It's weird, I've been thinking about him a lot lately,

Jesus, can you believe there's no service here?

Just a blank.

Just don't say I'm like my mom, okay? I don't wanna be like her.

Just drove you out into the brush and left you there?

Just got a lot of things in here.

Just let 'em go. Let 'em go.

Just like you thought.

Just look at me for a second. Look at me.

Just pop the trunk, honey.

Just right under there.

Just to show you we're okay, we'll fix it for you.

Just wait.

Just... He just has a different kind of strength is all.

Keep going. Speed up.

Keep seeing him if you have to,

Keep seeing him if you have to,

Killed? What are you talking about, killing?

Killing my wife and daughter?

Last summer on the interstate.

Last summer, this man, Lou, and his friends,

LAURA: Don't cry, sweetie. It's fine.

LAURA: It's not okay. We're in the middle of nowhere.

LAURA: Just the way you were driving was crazy.

LAURA: Oh, God, Tony.

LAURA: Please don't make eye contact with them.

LAURA: Please, Tony, pull out.

LAURA: Speed up. Tony.

LAURA: Stop! Get off her, please!

Least as far as I know he ain't.

Let her go!

Let's get out and walk. You said you walked out, right?

Let's go...

Let's talk about your opening.

Let's talk to him.

Like I say, you don't need to worry about them.

Like that's what you wanna do with your life?

Like three, three and a half hours.

LINDA: I disagree. I think we should keep her for now.

Listen,

Listen, do you know anybody else in New York?

Listen, honey, I ain't after your fucking ass.

Listen, man...

Listen, mister, you wanna see your wife and kid?

Look, look, look...

Look, why don't you and I go to the beach?

Look. There she is.

Looks promising.

Lou took me out into the brush and kicked me out.

LOU: Hey, mister!

Lou. Lou. Hey, you.

Man, you know nothing.

May I ask you who you'd like on duty this weekend?

May I use your phone?

Maybe a bit insecure.

Maybe give yourself some space. Just do something else.

Maybe I don't have a book in me.

Maybe if we just spent some time, just the two of us?

Maybe Ray'll get killed for resisting arrest, huh?

Me too.

Mine?

Mister!

Mmm hmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mom, last summer you tried to convince me that I had to marry Bass.

Move to Austin and go to the goddamn University of Texas?

Must have bust it when you were shoving us off the road.

My cell number and email address are below. Edward.

My cell service just went out.

My ex husband used to call me a nocturnal animal.

My parents have basically disowned him.

Near here called Bailey.

Near the same place.

Never mind.

New doctor?

Next to where they burn their garbage.

No beard.

No evidence and evidence improperly gathered,

No fingerprints, but we knew that before.

No need. Use ours. Come on, let's get going.

No phones and no people.

No signal here.

No, don't touch me.

No, fuck you. I am not going down that road.

No, he said you told him I was the one who killed this guy's wife and kid.

No, I don't know him.

No, I don't, because I'm not creative...

No, I'm not afraid.

No, I'm not gonna do that. No.

No, no, but I took down the license number.

No, no, I do. I just hate her, so...

No, our regular room wasn't available.

No, please.

No, she's not saying that, man. She's just a child.

No, sir.

No, that's not enough. What else can we do?

No, wait. Wait, wait, wait!

No, we need you to take a little drive with us.

No, we were just trying to get... You were playing some kind of crazy game.

No, we're not right for each other.

No, what is the matter, man? What the fuck is wrong with you?

No, you are. Most guys would have freaked out

No, you don't.

No, you think you're so special, you can just bump another guy's car...

No, you're right. He's not driven

No! No!

No! Please, no! No! No! Please...

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. I tried calling him a couple of years back, but he hung up on me.

No. New haircut.

No. No wife or...

No. No.

No. You need this.

No. You're wrong. You and I are nothing alike.

Nobody gets away with what you did to us. Nobody.

Nobody writes about anything but themselves.

Nobody.

Nobody.

Nobody.

Not knowing how it's gonna come.

Now, are you willing to go outside of strict procedure on this?

Now, do you two have any last words you wanna say to each other?

Now, if you want a lawyer, I can take you down to the station

Now, listen to me.

Of course not. You just started living your life.

Of Lou Bates and Steve Adams.

Off the record, between you and me.

Oh, come on, man, listen, you ain't gotta take me in.

Oh, come on.

Oh, damn it.

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend you.

Oh, is that it? That all?

Oh, my God, it's so cool.

Oh, my God, no.

Oh, my God. Did you just say that? You really just said that.

Oh, my...

Oh, Susan, enjoy the absurdity of our world.

Oh, yeah. Give 'em the reason, ammunition.

Oh, you bet, between you and the prints in the car and the trailer.

Oh, you feeling uncomfortable, boy?

Oh, you ****d them on the bed, I suppose.

Oh.

Okay, all right, I'm leaving now.

Okay, come on up.

Okay, come on, boy. Get over there.

Okay, fine, you drive your car and the girl comes with us.

Okay, great. Just let me... Just let me drop off my packages at my apartment.

Okay, I'm a Gemini. My favorite color's pale pink.

Okay, sweetie?

Okay, then, you try. Let's go.

Okay, well, would you like to go to dinner?

Okay? How about it?

Okay.

On the far left. That's him.

One got killed and one got away.

Ooh. Come on up here.

Part time electrician, part time plumber,

Playing chicken with the other cars?

Probably just once or twice, so...

Probably your murder trailer before it got notorious.

Prom...

Promising?

Put your signal lights on.

Ray gets to the road, he's gonna hitchhike.

Ray just showed up at Line Camp.

RAY: Come over here.

RAY: Get in the fucking car.

RAY: Hey, I'm sorry you lost your folks, man.

RAY: Hey, watch it, you fucking assholes.

RAY: How do I know you ain't just gonna floor the gas and leave me in the dust?

RAY: I tell you what.

RAY: Look what you gone and did.

RAY: That's a great idea.

RAY: There goes your cops.

RAY: What are you trying to do there on the road, huh?

RAY: What did you fucking leave him out here for?

RAY: Where's that?

RAY: You all right over there? Need a tissue?

RAY: You come with us. Lou can drive your car.

RAY: Your daddy won't tell me, so why don't you?

Really?

Really?

Really? Do you not trust your nanny?

Really? That's what you thought?

Republican, materialistic, narcissistic, racist.

Right by the reflector. I remember that.

Right here, okay?

Right now it's not looking good.

Right?

Rights, rights, rights. You and your goddamn rights.

Roberto Andes. I've sent you an email. You get it?

SAGE: But, Susan, you were the one who brought it up last meeting

SAGE: We're under no contractual obligations. Which is good.

SAMANTHA: But it's not working. We need to fire her.

SAMANTHA: Mom? Is that you? Is everything all right?

See if we can separate 'em out.

See if you recognize the guy we caught.

See, they're trying to force me out.

Sensitive and romantic and...

Sensitive is a word that I would use,

Sergeant, back up slowly down the shoulder.

She also had a broken arm.

She didn't mean that. She's just a kid.

She doesn't know. What can she do about it?

She has sad eyes.

She isn't who she sold herself to be when we hired her.

She just needs our support and a little bit of time, that's all.

She was great with me when my dad died.

She was probably struck with a hammer or a baseball bat,

She was suffocated.

She's sleeping.

Shh.

Shit, I'll call you back.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit. (COUGHS)

Shit. Oh, good.

Sit down. Sit down.

Sit up.

So let me ask you a personal question.

So let me get this straight, you say some fella named Lou

So perfect with all this junk culture that we live in.

So they can't accept Cooper for who he is.

So you can leave the scene of an accident again?

Someone else harassed on the highway last night just like you.

Something unforgivable, really.

Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. This place is terrible.

Sometimes it's...

Sometimes maybe it's not such a good idea

Sometimes these cases go months or even years without a break.

Sorry I'm late. There was traffic on the interstate.

Sorry.

Speaking of rights, I just wanna let you know

Speed up.

Steve Adams.

Stupid motherfucker.

Susan,

Susan, can you hear me?

SUSAN: And then we find out that they don't.

SUSAN: Edward? Edward?

SUSAN: Where did this painting come from?

SUSAN: Why are you so driven to write?

SUSAN: Yeah, yeah, it's fine. I just wanted to hear your voice.

SUSAN: You have to realize that this is not working.

Susan?

Susan...

Take this.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That came out of your mouth. That's...

That is a weird thing to say, Edward.

That is different.

That is not what I meant.

That won't work.

That you were looking for a change.

That's a fucking insult.

That's all right, I got that. That's fine.

That's all right.

That's beyond.

That's big trouble for your friend, you know that, right?

That's crazy. I never killed nobody.

That's exactly what makes you so perfect.

That's gonna take you back towards where he took your folks.

That's good. I think it will help him talk.

That's him, that guy on the left.

That's my car we just passed.

That's not our usual floor.

That's okay. It's okay. We'll take good care of you.

That's Ray Marcus.

That's what I was hoping you'd say.

That's why they came back with the bodies.

That's Willow and she's in her crib.

The charges were dropped. I never ****d nobody.

The D.A. says we don't have enough hard evidence,

The D.A.'s too much of a chickenshit to take a case he might lose.

The one you called Turk that I emailed you about last year?

The opening was spectacular last night.

The owner hasn't been there since last fall, so...

The problem with Ray is his alibi.

The things you love about him now are the things you'll hate

The way that you would like him to be.

The whole thing is just some...

Then turn down the road.

Then we'll go to the cops together, right?

Then you and Turk got in my car with my wife and my daughter

There are certain things I don't put up with.

There you go. Free as a bird.

There. You clear?

There's a motel across the street. You got money?

There's an awesome candidate that we could steal from the Hammer

There's an old cattle station down that way a bit

There's just a bunch of prints on the trunk of the car.

There's prints all over the place.

There's something else.

They already got another fella lined up for the job.

They definitely think they're fucking hot shit.

They don't?

They forced us off the road on the interstate

They found 'em at the trailer too. His name's Steve Adams.

They found your car over in a dried out arroyo at Topping.

They had it coming to 'em, your fucking wife and that kid, but you...

They have an antiquated idea of how I should live my life.

They here?

They said my case wasn't well prepared, was a sloppy job, slapdash,

They said, Mister, your wife wants you.

They want me to retire and enjoy the benefits of my cancer somewhere else.

They were, they were gonna kill you.

They weren't in the car.

They'd drop a murder case to do that?

They're all waiting for us.

They're around.

They're beautiful.

They're fine. They're just fixing the tire.

They're letting Ray Marcus go.

They're not dropping Lou.

They're not really talking anymore.

They're religious, conservative, sexist, racist,

Think carefully. You ever seen him?

This ain't legal, man. I'm supposed to have a lawyer or something.

This fella sitting behind the steering wheel. My friend Tony?

This is a ridiculous conversation.

This is bad news. We good?

This is just informal questioning, that's all.

This one. The one we're driving around in.

This road leads to it.

Those fellas, they took your folks in there,

To change things quite so much.

To take girls she don't know about,

To write from the heart.

Tony does, all right?

Tony, get over here.

TONY: Easy, easy. Easy, easy!

TONY: Get your hands off her!

TONY: Hey.

TONY: I can't move. He's blocked the car.

TONY: I know it was him.

TONY: India.

TONY: No, it's fine, it's just fine.

TONY: No. Hey, wait!

TONY: Shit.

TONY: Stop the car. Stop the car!

TONY: The bodies of my wife and child

TONY: Two of the things I love most about west Texas,

TONY: What? What do you mean, they're letting him go?

TONY: You made us stop and we had a flat tire and Lou and Turk fixed it.

Too fucking weak, you know.

Total junk.

Trailer's been broken into. Somebody's been living in it.

TURK: Hey, Ray, these guys have got a flat tire.

TURK: Just drive on it, asshole. Nobody's stopping you. Drive away.

TURK: Let's go and get the fuck out of here, y'all.

TURK: You got a spare tire, man?

TURK: You wanna give me the keys to the trunk?

Uh huh.

Um, actually, why don't you give everybody the weekend off?

Violent and it's sad,

Wait!

We all eventually turn into our mothers.

We are not working. We are too different.

We can go tonight and come back on Monday.

We caught one of the guys,

We did not shove you off the road. You shoved us off the road.

We found your wife's fingerprints on the bedpost.

We get into things when we're young

We got a report from Ozona.

We gotta catch him before he gets a ride.

We had an attempted hold up

We have the cause of death.

We know who he is.

We may be perfect for each other

We seen your record. We know about that girl in Lubbock.

We should... You know what? We should call the police.

We... We are... We are just trying to get where... Where we are going.

We'll fix it for you, won't we, guys?

We're best friends. We love each other completely.

We're goin' in both cars. Hey, Lou.

We're going to my camp.

We're gonna have to check 'em against the owner's,

We're gonna keep him for a little while, work him over a bit,

We're good. We're set.

We're just trying to get to where we're going.

We're turning the case over to Lieutenant Andes.

Weak is not a word that I would use to describe Edward.

Well, don't worry, we'll get you to the station.

Well, I am...

Well, I guess I want you to tell me if you've ever seen this man before.

Well, I had no idea Cooper was gay.

Well, I wasn't asleep. I was too wound up from the opening.

Well, it's no fucking good if we don't get Ray.

Well, looks like we've run out of road and they ain't here.

Well, my mother always told me

Well, that ain't right.

Well, that's a bit forward.

Well, then, I'll go fuck somebody else.

Well, then, what the fuck do you want?

Well, then, you should just kill me, then.

Well, we got Lou.

Well, what can you do with him?

Well, yeah, I do want you to go back to school.

Well, you always said that I reminded you so much of her, so...

Well, you did see someone.

Well, you know all debutantes are sluts, so...

Well, you know my parents, right?

Well, you recognize the guy?

Well, you were his first crush.

Well, you're gonna have to suffer through that.

What about me? I might be feeling uncomfortable too.

What are we gonna do, Tony?

What are we gonna do, Tony? What are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do?

What are you doing in New York City?

What are you doing?

What did I do? What did I do?

What do you mean, I don't need to worry about them? What the fuck does that mean?

What do you mean, where did it come from?

What do you mean, where is this going to go?

What do you say, Ray?

What do you say, Tony? Now, what shall we do with these two?

What do you think? What do you think?

What do you want me to do with Ray Marcus?

What do you, what do you want me to do?

What ex husband?

What exactly is in Marfa?

What I meant is that you are very strong willed,

What we have is circumstantial.

What you gonna do, son?

What you gonna do?

What you gonna tell me about Ray and Turk?

What you got to say about this man's wife and daughter?

What, are you an owl? You an owl, Lou?

What, do you have enough evidence?

What, he went back to the trailer after he left me?

What, you gonna cry?

What?

What?

What? I... What are you talking about?

What? That's what he told me about you.

What? What you looking at?

What's he doing?

What's that?

What's the point in quitting now? I'll be dead in a year.

Whatever, you're saying it when you say you want me to go back to school.

When did you tell me you were sick?

When someone accuses me of something,

When we were together.

When you get to the fork in the road, you veer to the left.

Where are you?

Where were you last night? You didn't come by the gallery.

Which isn't a word I would use to describe anyone else in this family,

Which you took back there and dumped.

Who the hell are you?

Who?

Whoo! (LAUGHING)

Why are you doing this?

Why are you wearing this blazer on a Saturday?

Why didn't you call me and let me know you got in safely?

Why do you always think the worst of me?

Why do you wanna get further up the road?

Why does a nice guy like you

Why don't you go ask in there, man?

Why don't you take me in if you got new evidence? Huh?

Why don't you tell him, Tony? Tell him who he is.

Why is he smiling like that?

Why should I recognize this fucking car?

Why'd you give up on becoming an artist?

Will you come home with me?

With Willow throughout the day, so...

With Willow throughout the day, so...

WOMAN 1: (ON TV) And by the way, honey, with all this decolletage

WOMAN 1: Well, I see we're settling for less nowadays.

WOMAN 2: (ON TV) It was that thin.

Won't stand up in court.

Would you like that?

Y'all are crazy. It's crazy.

Yeah, great. Thank you. Oh... I miss Texas men.

Yeah, I came down the highway and I walked for a long time,

Yeah, I just...

Yeah, I loved him.

Yeah, I'm ready now.

Yeah, looks like it. Uh, he probably just went back to tell 'em where you were.

Yeah, of course I do.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, yeah. I just... A paper cut.

Yeah, you look like you're feeling uncomfortable.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm fine. Follow me.

Yeah. So I'll tell you what we got.

Yeah. The whole thing's just a blur.

Yeah. Yeah, call me later. Go back to bed, sweetheart.

Yep, your left tire's flat. It sure is.

Yes, you did. He was writing a novel when you and I got together.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Lou, he made me drive his car,

Yes. Who is this?

Yes. Yes, I heard you.

You ain't that lucky. Get over here.

You and that fucking gun you don't know how to use.

You and that silly gun.

You and your buddies on the interstate, you forced us off the road.

You are gonna be a great novelist,

You are not doing that.

You both have the same kind of sadness in your eyes.

You bought it for us, remember?

You came back where Lou had left me

You can look at the dead one too,

You can't just walk away from things

You did? I thought I was the only one who felt like that.

You didn't go to 'em. Why didn't you go to 'em?

You didn't sleep again, did you?

You don't got a flat, go on, drive.

You don't have blizzards like this in Texas.

You don't just throw it away.

You don't need vaginal rejuvenation.

You follow.

You get in your car and we'll get in ours and we'll follow you there.

You get me?

You gonna cry now?

You got me wrong, it was an accident.

You got no fucking right talking to me like that.

You have a family?

You have the same eyes.

You have to be careful with it.

You have to come from someplace inside that I'm just not sure I have.

You have two sets of boots, India?

You heard me. I know what you're doing. I know what your plan is.

You just don't remember.

You kill people.

You killed my wife and my daughter.

You know I had to shoot him, right?

You know me. I never sleep.

You know that you were my first crush when we were at Hastings?

You know you're supposed to stop when there's an accident, right?

You know, please just get back in your car now and leave us alone.

You know, saving things that will eventually die.

You know, the strange thing is is,

You know, this is exactly why I don't wanna read your work

You look beautiful, as always.

You look different.

You look... You look different too.

You may not realize it,

You mean with Carlos? I just... It's... I'm totally cool with it.

You might never get it again.

You must be exhausted.

You need to prepare yourself for that.

You of all people should try it sometime.

You really are so wonderful and you're just so

You really didn't get any sleep, did you?

You remember him?

You remember horsing around on the interstate with your buddies,

You remember that, Ray?

You scared me the last time we talked.

You see? Yeah.

You shoot him if he gets out of line.

You should be getting a lot more dickoletage than what he has to offer.

You should call him, because he's a genius.

You should call him. He would like that.

You should fucking kill me.

You should have seen the scene I caused in the lobby.

You should have tried harder to stop 'em.

You sit down or I'll fucking kill you.

You sound weird. Are you okay?

You sure you don't recognize him?

You take this. I got another one in the car.

You think you could backtrack from there?

You think? What makes you think that?

You underestimate yourself.

You wanna dance? Wanna dance?

You were the one that told me that when he came,

You woke me up. I'm still in bed. It's Sunday morning, Mom.

You won't have to be embarrassed.

You won't have to do a thing.

You work it out.

You. Where's your pal?

You'd better get here quick, though.

You'd have taken me to the station, not this fucking place.

You'll regret it.

You'll swear in a court of law under penalty of perjury?

You're a good man.

You're a good man.

You're actually gonna leave New York,

You're anything but useless. You always know exactly what to do.

You're crazy. That's crazy.

You're crazy. You're making a big mistake.

You're driving.

You're gonna take this the wrong way, but, um,

You're good, you know that?

You're helping me out. I ain't charged you with nothing yet.

You're just awfully hard on yourself.

You're kidding? All right, thanks.

You're not supposed to leave the scene of an accident. It's a crime.

You're okay.

You're scum, you know!

You're so...

You're supposed to be the lawman. What kind of bullshit is this?

You're the one. I know you.

You're too weak to do anything about it.

You're too weak.

You're too young to get married.

You're very sweet.

You've said it before, so why don't you say it again?

Your cop friends?

Your daughter had a much more difficult time.

Your father's not gonna give them to you either.

Your friend Lou Bates implicated you

Your wife had a fractured skull.

Your wife wants you!

19.

(BABY COOING FROM PHONE) What is that?

(DOG BARKING) (BABY CRYING)

(DOOR OPENING) Don't worry. Oh, who's this?

(EXHALES) I tell you what,

(SHOUTING) Stay away! You want fucking something, boy?

(SIGHS) It's this fella named Jenks.

(SUSAN SOBS) (TONY MOANS)

Absolutely. Okay.

After the way you were driving... I'm sorry, what'd you say?

All right. We're good.

All right. Yeah.

And then this man... This man? This man Lou?

And you don't feel that way? No.

and you forced me in your car with Lou. ANDES: What then, Tony?

ANDES: All right. (GROANS)

ANDES: Come on. Come on. RAY: Oh, shit. Come on.

ANDES: Officer. (DOOR OPENS)

ANDES: Shall we have a look inside, Ray? RAY: What for?

ANDES: Tell him the whole thing. Mmm mmm.

ANDES: Tell him who his buddies are. Lou and Turk.

ANDES: Well, looky here. You son of a bitch.

Anything you goddamn like. (TONY CHUCKLES)

Are you okay? Yeah.

Are you okay? Yeah.

Are you sure this is the man? Absolutely, yes.

Are you sure? Yeah, yeah.

Bobby... What?

But I thought you said that... (CLEARS THROAT)

But you smoke all the time. Yeah, well, that's how it works.

But, they're... TONY: Just don't give them any reason.

Bye. Bye.

Can you not do that? What?

Can't say I do. You remember him, Tony?

Christopher? CHRISTOPHER: Yes?

Don't come any closer. TONY: All right, sweetheart. It's all right.

Edward, that's not what I said. No, you didn't say that.

Fuck that. You never told me about the cancer.

Fuck you! No way. You go in my car. TONY: What?

Fuck. Right here, right here.

Get in the car. RAY: Okay, here we go.

Get out! TONY: What are you... What are you doing?

Go on, right here, okay? Please don't.

Good evening. Good evening.

Good. Yeah.

Hey, motherfucker... Hey!

Hey, Ray. What the fuck?

Hey! Dad. Dad.

Hi. Susan.

Hi. God. How are you?

Hmm? Who is he?

Hmm. (LAUGHS)

Hmm. Hmm.

Honest to God, I don't. You wanna get out, Tony?

Hotshot. What do you mean?

How much longer? TONY: I don't know.

I ain't saying you did. Well, ask me here.

I could keep going... I'm just wondering what you really think, Susan.

I did not say you were weak. Do you love me?

I hate that flight. It's really not... 31, madam.

I mean it looks like shit. I'm fine.

I need a future that is more structured. Hey.

I never heard of 'em. You never heard of 'em?

I never ****d nobody. Stop fucking around, Ray.

I really do. I know you need it. We need this.

I said where you going? To Marfa.

I think I'd know. Yeah. How about the driver?

I would have thought you were sleeping with him. (SIGHS)

I'll call you later. Okay.

I'll let everyone know. Thank you.

I'm fine. Hey, honey, you got a tampon?

I'm not scared. I'm unhappy. All right.

I'm, I'm cynical, I'm pragmatic. No, look...

In our cars. Which car?

in the Hastings murders? (RAY CHUCKLES)

India, don't do that. What?

INDIA: It's a lie. You think I'm a liar?

INDIA: Leave my dad alone, asshole! Leave me alone, man.

INDIA: Oh, no. LAURA: What do you want from us?

INDIA: Total jerks. Are we rid of them?

Information? Yeah.

Is this the exit? Exit for what?

It was your fucking fault, right? What?

It's good to see someone I know. It's good to see you.

It's great, isn't it? Yeah.

It's okay. I should have stopped it.

Jesus Christ. Okay, so let's exchange information.

Just get her in the car. Get her in the car. Vagina boy!

Just you. Just me.

LAURA: He said we had a flat tire. TONY: What did he say?

LAURA: Let go of me, please. TONY: Get your hands off her.

LAURA: Really? Yeah.

LAURA: What? What?

Laura? Have you got a vagina?

Let's exchange information. Get it out of the glove compartment.

Lou, what'd you fucking tell this guy? I didn't tell him nothin'.

LOU: They sure do. Well, what do you know?

Mister, don't try no fucking shit with me. What?

Mmm hmm. All right, let's go, Tony.

Mom. Mom, I'm scared. Tony.

Morning. Good morning.

Morning. Oh, glad to meet you.

My favorite subject. Not mine.

No one really likes what they do. Then why do we do it?

No, don't. Who the fuck do you think you are?

No, he made me drive. He made you drive.

No, I am. I'm a realist. You're afraid. You're afraid.

No, it is not the point. That is the point!

No, you don't. No, you don't. Yes, I do.

No! No! Hey! Hey, get off.

No. (INDIA SCREAMING LOUDLY)

No. No, wait, I do.

No. Shit.

No. Yes.

No. Yes.

Not very well. Did they say anything?

Oh, God. It's okay. It's all right.

Oh, my God. LAURA: Oh, God.

Oh, oh? Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, wow. Yeah, art history.

Pull over. Pull the fuck over! Dad. Dad.

Ray claims he was with that little... Bobby. Bobby.

Ray claims he was with that little... Bobby. Bobby.

RAY: Look, we're nice guys. LAURA: Don't touch my daughter!

RAY: You questioning me? ANDES: Yeah.

Really? Oh, yeah.

Right, right. Get your women out the car.

Right. I'm hopeful, though.

Right. RAY: Hey, hey.

SAGE: Why is that? LINDA: Because she's great and we all like her.

She's just a child. You think I'm a liar?

Shit. It's okay.

Shit. God damn it! LAURA: Oh, God. Oh, God.

Sorry. TURK: Get the women out of the car.

Start the engine and drive. Please drive. Just drive.

Thank you. Sound good?

That doesn't sound like you. I know, but it's true.

That is not the point. You didn't answer me.

That's great. Yeah.

That's not the point. No, that is the point.

There ain't no new evidence. Oh, yeah?

There ain't no new evidence. Oh, yeah?

There's a note. You can read it.

There's service up by Bailey. All right.

This fella? Yes.

This is it? This is what... You sound like your mother.

TONY: Afternoon. Hey, there.

TONY: Bobby? ANDES: Shoot 'em, Tony. Shoot 'em.

TONY: It's all right, it's all right. No, I don't like this.

TONY: It's all right. (CAR HORN HONKING)

TONY: Laura! RAY: Vagina boy!

TONY: Oh, my God. LAURA: Oh, my God.

TONY: What is the matter? Don't try no fucking shit with me.

TONY: What? No! RAY: You come with us, baby.

TONY: You tell him. Do I have to? Don't you know, Ray?

Tony. RAY: You want something?

Tony. TONY: Laura.

TURK: Calm down. Hey, lady, lady, lady. It's a flashlight, sweetheart.

TURK: You got tools, mister? TONY: Um, I actually, I...

We are not right for each other. Susan, stop.

We are perfect for each other. No, we're not perfect for each other, Edward.

We need you to come with us. What for? I ain't done nothin'.

We're good to go. LAURA: Let's go.

We've been through this so many times before. I'm not scared.

Weak. I did not say you were weak.

Weak. That's right, yeah. What? I did not say you were weak.

Well, for Bailey. Keep going.

Well, he is. I mean, seriously, look at him.

What about my wife and daughter? Still no news.

What floor, sir? 31, please.

What now? Well, you're gonna wait for trial.

What the fuck are you doing to us? Here. Turn down here.

What, you didn't? No.

What? Sorry. I'm sorry.

What? This fella?

What? Yeah.

What? You and your mother.

What? What'd she do? She just gave 'em the finger.

What'd he say? Don't believe it, Dad.

What's that? ANDES: Just a few questions, that's all.

What's that? It's a manuscript Edward sent me.

What's this place? You know this place.

Who is this guy? You don't remember him?

Who is very handsome and dashing. ...and dashing. Yes.

Who? Are you serious?

Who? Who?

Whose trailer is it? It's clear.

Why should it? You don't remember driving it?

Why? Why? Are you serious?

Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, baby. You like it like that, huh? Let me go!

Yeah, I know that. Why didn't you stop, then?

Yeah, of course. Here, let me do it. Thank you.

Yeah, that's what we're doing, ain't it? You ain't read me my rights.

Yeah? Yeah. What's going on?

Yeah. (BOTH CHUCKLING)

Yeah. LAURA: Thank you.

Yes, I love you. Well, when you love someone,

Yes. Hmm. Whose car were they in?

Yes. Well, refresh his memory.

you already seen that don't work. Oh, yeah,

You and me, report your accident. TONY: All right.

You are. You are. I can't be that.

You didn't come to bed last night. I didn't wanna wake you.

You found my car? They found it in a creek bed.

You got no right. Got no right?

You just came from there. Yes, I know.

You know your rights, Ray. You're supposed to read 'em to me.

You left him? I left him.

You recognize this car? (SIGHS) What car?

You sure? Yes.

You think you're fucking hot shit, don't you? What are you talking about?

You? Yeah.

You'll get killed if you don't watch it. Wait.

You'll have to ask somebody else. I wanna know what they said.

You're fucking crazy! Tell him what we found there, Tony.

You've said it so many times before. I did not call you weak.

Your bitches, man. Who else? TONY: Look...

Your name Lou? You know my name. I told you.
