[cicadas chirping] [owl hoots] -Hey.
-Sonny. I saw you with him earlier. And you were all over him. [Russian accent]
What do you want me to do? He's still my husband. Yeah, but not for long. -What do you mean?
-You know what I mean, because
we're gonna get rid of him. We're not good people, are we? I'll show you how good we are. [slam echoing] [somber music] [woman on P.A.
making announcement] [woman on P.A.
making announcement] [toilet flushes] [man] So, uh, you want a job,
Mr. Jordan? [Sonny]
Yes, sir.
I saw your help wanted ad for a mechanic and I called. I talked to your guy,
uh, Pete, and he said he was
gonna hold the position for me. -When was that?
-Two days ago. That position's
already been taken. I'll, uh... I'll hang on
to your application, keep it on file
in case anything comes up. [woman on P.A.]
Service call, line three. Thanks. [somber music] -[engine revs, tires screech]
-[gasps] [distant police siren] [door opens] -[country music playing]
-[bar patrons laughing] -[door
closes]
-[man groans] [stretching] [grunts] [older man groans] [Sonny grunts] [Sonny] Son of a bitch! [older man] Come on, now! Come on. Come on! -You all right, man? Huh?
-He sure was tryin'. -Yeah.
-I only got $60 on me. That bastard tried
to stick me for $60. It's a good thing
you came along, man. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, you're bleeding, man. -What?
-Yeah. -Oh.
-And there. And you're sure
you've never seen -the assailant before, Mr. Good?
-No. If I ever do see him again,
he better run, 'ca
use I'll put my foot
so deep up his ass, I'll have to untie my shoe
to get it out. And what about you, sir,
Mr., uh, Jordan? No. I never
saw him before, either. It's brave of you
to step in like you did. Sure was. I owe you, son. It just seemed like
the thing to do at the time. Well, I'll put this
out on the wire -in case anyone spots him.
-Well, thank you. And don't forget
about that scar on his face, right along here.
Just like that. Yes, sir. [female medic] All right, sir.
These are for pain.
Thank you. Mr. Good, you were real lucky,
but I still recommend you go to the hospital,
let them look at your arm. I ain't going to no hospital
for this little scratch. George! There she is.
There's my Russian beauty. -You're hurt.
-No. I'm fine, baby.
I'm fine. Look, see here?
Just a scratch. Just a scratch. Did they find
the man who attacked you? No. No. Not yet. Not yet. Sonny. Sonny.
Sonny, stay right there. Larissa, this here
is Sonny Jordan. He's the one that helped me
with that son of a
bitch
that tried to rob me. Sonny, this is my wife,
Larissa. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for helping
my husband, Mr. Jordan. I just happened
to be there, Mrs. Good. Mr. Good,
some forms to fill out. I can do that for him. -She's somethin', ain't she?
-Yes, sir. So what are you up to, Sonny? Nothing special. I've been trying
to look for a job. What kind of a job? Right now, I'll take
just about anything. [George]
Huh. I'll tell you what, why don't you ride along
with Larissa and me back to our pl
ace and we can talk about that
and get you a good meal under your belt
while we're at it? That's the least I could do,
son. Right, Larissa? Right. Is this all you have,
Mr. Jordan? This is it. Please, call me Sonny. Okay, Sonny. Truck's right there.
Let's go. -[plate clinks]
-[Sonny] Boy, gotta tell you,
that was excellent. -Thank you.
-[Larissa] You're welcome. -Now, Sonny?
-Yeah. I want you to look me
in the eye. -Thank you.
-And I want you to tell me, are you really as good
a mechanic as you
say you are? George, I can fix
anything on wheels. Anything. And here I am with my mechanic
quitting last week and this arm needin'
to heal up. It's providence. So why don't you just stay on,
help me out, and make yourself
a little money, too? Really? I got a room
right over the shop with a bed, running water, john,
shower downstairs. I even got a TV you could use. Hell, I got everything
a man could want right here. Yeah, I see that. [somber music] [Larissa] I just don't like
strangers in the ho
use. [George] Darlin', I owe him. And besides, I can't work
with my arm like it is. [Larissa] You don't know
anything about him, George,
except that he's homeless. There were times
that I had empty pockets,
and so did you. I just wanna give
the man a chance. All right then. Good. Now, I want you
to come over here and kiss me where it hurts. -[Larissa kisses George]
-[George] Oh. [Larissa] He might hear us. [George]
He's not gonna hear us. [laughing] [fan rattling] [exhales] [rooster crows] -[Geo
rge] This is it.
-[Sonny] Huh. Now, I warn you,
the tools are old, but they still do the job. Back then, they used
to make them to last forever. Yeah. Not like that computer shit
over here I had to buy. Used to be didn't need
no computer to fix an engine. Man could tell what was wrong
by the sound of it. -Is this you?
-[chuckles] Yeah. Yeah. That was ages ago. Used to work on race cars. -Good times, man.
-Very cool, man. Very cool. Good times. So, where should I get started? Well, I got a brake
job
on a John Deere coming in around nine. What do you got under there? Oh, that's just
something I work on when I got
nothin' better to do. -Ain't had the time lately.
-Whoa, nice. Needs a new carburetor,
but I can't find one. What are you gonna do
with it when you're finished? -You gonna sell it?
-No. I'm gonna give it to Larissa
for a present. Huh. Twenty percent off,
just for you, Ronny. -Here we go.
-Thank you, Mrs. Good. You know I'll be back. -You have a good day.
-Thank you. You, too. -S
ay hi to Rose.
-You betcha, I will. [suspenseful music] [tool clanking] [wrench ratcheting] [ratcheting] Boy knows his way
around machinery. -Does he?
-He does. Watched him real close.
Even knows that computer shit. -[kiss]
-Good hands. [bottle fizzes] [George]
Larissa, have you seen my keys? [George snoring] Mr. Jordan. Yes, Mrs. Good? There is something
I have to say to you. You have to stop looking at me
the way you do. And how have I been
looking at you? You know how. Why'd you marry
that ol
d man? Hmm? Woman who, uh, looks like you. Don't talk
about my husband that way. He likes you.
I thought you liked him, too. I do. I do. But I like you better. Should I call him and tell him
how you talk to me
when he's not around? How about I call him,
tell him face to face,
man to man? Hmm? And you know what
he'd probably do, right? He'd probably, uh,
send me down the road. But is that
what you really want? Do you want me
to be sent down the road? -I thought you needed this job.
-I've had lots
of jobs. Lots of women, too, I bet. Well, just stop it. You know what?
It just occurred to me. Huh. It seems to me
that in order for me to be looking at you
the way you say I look at you, well, you'd have
to be looking at me, too, right? [somber music] So I went looking
for go-karts, you know, thinking, you know,
that I was gonna find something like I used to make
when I was a kid, you know, [distant sounding] out of a--
out of a lawnmower engine, and I wonder if kids
make go-karts these days.
But it might be a good idea
for us to have competitions, maybe with classes... ♪♪ Well, forget the money. I'd stay
around just for the food. [George and Sonny laugh] Hey, Sonny, how would you
like a taste of whiskey? Yeah. Sure. Great. Well, you mind gettin'
some glasses from the kitchen? -Of course.
-And a little bit of ice
while you're at it? -You got it.
-And I'm gonna be
in the livin' room. -Okay.
-All right. You know, you look a little hot. Maybe I can help you
with that, hmm? [breathing he
avily] [George] Hey. How long's it
take to get ice? Be right there. There you go. What are you grinnin' about? -I found one.
-Found one what? A carburetor for the Cutlass. -No!
-Yep. And I already took
the old one out so you can match it up
with the new one. But, listen,
you got to hurry because, uh, they said someone else
already called about it, so... Oh. Damn right I'm gonna hurry. [chuckles] I'll be a while! [Sonny moaning] Where did George go? He went to get a part. How long is he gonna be
gone? Oh. At least three
or four hours. -I better get back inside.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I think you should stay. You're making me dirty. [pickup truck honking] [George] Hey, Larissa! Larissa! Come on!
I wanna show you somethin'! Come on! [George] Destruction derby--
you know, one of--
I forget what they called 'em. They had them
in the '50s and '60s, where you build these cars
and you wreck 'em, you know. Hey. Come over here, darlin'. Come on, beauty, beauty,
beauty,
beauty, beauty.
We found one. It way past Pearl River,
but we found one. -Found what?
-A carburetor for the Cutlass. Sonny found it. -Did he?
-Yeah. [whispering]
Tell you what, he's a keeper. How we doin'? [Sonny] All right, give me
two seconds, two seconds. All right. Go ahead.
Turn her over. [ignition sputters] Okay. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Let me just-- All right.
Go ahead. Try it again. -[engine starts]
-It runs! -Hot damn! It runs!
-It still needs some adjusting. Yeah, I can hear that,
b
ut I tell you what, I'm-a run her down the road
a mile or two. See how she handles. [Larissa]
George, be careful. Darlin',
it's only a mile or two. I'll be right back. [Sonny]
We need to be careful. -Did George say anything?
-No. And he won't, either, unless you start acting
different towards me or him. -Different?
-Yes. Getting all nice to us, as if you actually like me
all of a sudden, and being extra nice to him
because you're guilty. It's a dead giveaway. You sound like an expert.
Is that wh
at you are? An expert at sleeping
with other men's wives? As much as an expert
as you are with cheating
on your husband. I'm not an expert.
I've never done it before. It didn't help,
you covering me in grease all over with your dirty hands. Took me over an hour
in the bath to wash it all off. Well, look. There it is. Next time just call me,
and I'll help you. There won't be next time, okay? We were curious. We got it out of our systems, and now we can move on
like it never happened. Yeah, but it
did happen. I mean it. Never again. Yeah, boy.
She'll run great once we adjust the idle
and the fuel mixture. Can't wait to get her
out on the turnpike, man, and really open her up. For you, darlin'. -For me?
-Of course it's for you. -George, thank you.
-Darlin'. Oh. -Everything's for you.
-You're so sweet. Come on. Get in.
Let's see how it looks on you. [George] Oh, darlin'. You look so classy, darlin'. -Don't she?
-Yes, sir. Real classy. Come on.
I wanna see you drive it. [engine starts] [Geo
rge] Let's go--
let's go grab a McDonald's. [George]
He says, "What does a woman -and a tornado have in common?"
-[Sonny] Mm-hmm. [George] "They both moan
like hell when they come and take the house with them
when they go." -[laughing]
-[Sonny] That's a good one. -[both laughing]
-That's a good one. You know, I got a joke. Well, go ahead.
Tell it. Don't be shy. Okay. So a man's in bed
with another man's wife. Uh-oh. And all of a sudden, they hear
her husband driving up. And the wife says,
"Oh, m
y God! My husband's home!" And the boyfriend says,
"Where's your back door?" The wife says,
"We don't have a back door." The boyfriend says,
"Well, where do you want one?" [laughing] [George] Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. That reminds me. I've got one.
It's almost like that. When the wife and the boyfriend
hear the husband come, the boyfriend says,
"Where's your back door?" But the wife screams, "We ain't got time
for my back door. You crazy? My husband's home!" -George!
-[laughing] You're compl
etely wasted.
I'm going to bed. Oh, darlin'.
Come on, come on, come on. Don't be like that. Larissa! Goddamn it. -I'm gonna pay for that.
-Hmm. She don't like it
when I'm crude. Women just don't understand
that a man's got to have a drink and tell a dirty joke
once in a while. Am I right? Absolutely, you're right.
Here. Let me refill you. Women and men just have
a different sense of humor. Don't be stingy,
pour a drink for a man, son. There you go. "Son." I had a son once, you know. Alan. [groan
s softly] Alan Good. [chuckles]
He was a good boy, too. He'd be just about as old
as you are now. [George] Just as big,
too, I'll bet. [whispers] Jesus. Mm-hmm. [groans] [George snoring] [Sonny grunts] [dramatic music] [muffled moans] [sighs, chuckles] Why'd you marry George, huh? I was scared, alone, I barely spoke English, work at the shittiest jobs
you can imagine. You have no idea. Oh, no, no.
I get it. Believe me. But where did George
come into this? I worked as a maid at this motel
when he
came in. He was lonely
after his wife had left him, and, um, he liked my accent. What? You have an accent? -Hmm.
-[laughing] When he brought me here, this place seemed like a--
like a sanctuary. -Hm.
-Now it feels like a cage. [Sonny] Hm. What about you?
Where are you from? -You really wanna know?
-Course I do. [chuckles]
Originally, I'm from St. Louis. I grew up in foster care
and reform schools. A ward of the state,
that's what they called it. You wouldn't believe the things
that go on in tho
se places. Believe me, I'd die before I'd
let a kid of mine end up in one. -I'm so sorry.
-Nah. I guess we both just have
really shitty stories, huh? Yeah, we do. You ever think of leaving? George? And go where? I don't know, anywhere,
you know, -just to be on your own.
-I tried it already, and it wasn't pretty.
Not when you're broke. But what if you had money, would
you-- would you leave then? -With you?
-With anybody. You know what, I should
really get out of here now. If I had money,
I'd do i
t with you. Sonny, we're going for a ride. Where to? -[removing gloves]
-[truck door closes] [engine starts] [Sonny] So, uh, George,
uh, where are we going? [George] You'll see. -So what's going on, Sonny?
-What do you mean? With you. Be straight with me. George, you know, it just-- Sonny, I need to know
what your plans are. I need to know if you're
stayin' on or movin' on. -I just need to know.
-Why? Come here. I want you
to take a look around, tell me what you think. -About what?
-The location
. The location? It's a dump. -[laughs] Yeah!
-Yeah. Right now, it's a dump. On the map, this is
just a country road in the woods
with not much else. But in six months,
they're gonna build an alternate route
right through there. Now, it's
just a mile long, Sonny, but that's
a million dollar mile, because all of a sudden,
this road is gonna be an access route
to the interstate. When that happens, this dump
is gonna be a gold mine for the man with the vision
to jump on it. Okay. And what's the visi
on? I'm gonna build what I have
always dreamed of. A motorsports park. -A motorsports park?
-Yeah! I'm gonna put in
a race car track for sports cars and motorbikes
right over there. A go-kart track for kids,
an autocross path over there, food court
with shops over there. Hell, I might even
put in a casino one day. [laughs] Okay. So you're
thinking about buying the lot? Sonny, I already bought it!
I already got the loan to build! I got it all worked out
down to the dollar. I can see it like it's-
-
like it's already there. So what about you, Sonny? Can you see it? [Larissa] I can see it. I can see it real clear. [Sonny chuckles] Well, why didn't he tell me? Ah. He just wanted everything
to be set up first. So racetrack over there and the karting track
for the kids to the left. Mm-hmm. And a food court
and a filling station, and he's also gonna have
a, uh, mechanic's shop that he says I'll be running,
maybe even a casino one day. -This changes everything, Sonny.
-Yeah. This could be
all w
e ever wanted. Yeah. What do you mean "we?" I mean, you and me,
of course. -Wait, are you serious?
-Yeah. But... this is George's plan. I mean, how are we supposed
to get him out of it? [Larissa] Exactly. How do
we get George out of it? Larissa... [scoffs] they give you the needle for what you're thinking
about in this state. So what you're talking
about is crazy. You're the one talking.
I haven't said a word. Well, you don't have to,
because I can read your mind. And what do you see
in my mind,
Sonny? I see someone who doesn't want
to just take a man's life. -You wanna take his dream, too.
-This is my dream! I've been pushing and shoving
this man for ages to do more with his life,
with our lives. Well, it looks like he is. Too late.
This was before you came along. Me? -[breathing heavily]
-[fan whirring] [whirring growing louder] -[Larissa] Oh, George!
-[George] Sweetie! George, I can't believe it!
Show me-- show me again. All right, I'll show you again. Well, obviously, this is
the g
o-kart racetrack for kids. Here, on the second floor,
is a food court
and also shops. Um, there should be
a toy store with cars and trucks
that kids are crazy about. Now, you see there? I would
never have thought of that. That's why we make
such a good team. When do you think
it's gonna be done and open? Oh, about-- about six,
eight months for basics. That'll give us cash flow. The rest we'll do over time. I got a name for it: the Good Family
Motorsports Park. I love that!
I love it. [man] So yo
u think
it's the clutch or what? Sonny, you think
it's the clutch? You know, it felt like
it's the clutch to me. -What?
-Seemed like
it was the clutch to me, 'cause it keep jumping, man. When I put it in first,
you know, it's okay, but when I start trying
to put it in second and third, it start doing, like,
this little jumping thing. Yeah, man, I tell you what,
I just put $2,500 in this thing. Thinking about selling it. Put a alternator in here,
had to put a generator. Air conditioner alone
cost
me almost a grand. Mm-hmm. -Sonny.
-I saw you with him earlier. And you were all over him. What do you want me to do?
He's still my husband. Yeah, but not for long. -What do you mean?
-You know what I mean. We're not good people, are we? I'll show you how good we are. [backup warning beeping] We just wanted to let you know how much we hope
that your sister feels better. She'll be okay.
Should just be a couple of days. Well, we'll we'd be holding
down the fort till you get back. Hey, once again,
thanks for the car. [Larissa] You bet. I promise,
I'll take real good care of it. Well, you better. -[laughing]
-[engine starts] -See you soon.
-See you soon. -Hey. [chuckles]
-Sorry I'm late. There was a tie-up
on the highway. Just as long as you're here now. [grunts] [truck horn blaring] What if we made it
look like a robbery? No, no. That's how we met
in the first place, remember? And how would that look? He almost gets killed
in a robbery, then six months later,
he gets killed in another on
e? And I'm there
for both of them? Come on. Then what, Sonny?
I'm not good at this. Well, I've never
done it before, either. But whatever we do, we have to do it
sooner than later, okay? It's a miracle he hasn't
caught on to us yet. Well, he's been so distracted
by the motor park. How about
an accident maybe, huh? We could, uh...
we could rig something to make it look
like it just happened. Like you and I,
we had nothing to do with it. [dramatic music] [dialogue inaudible] ♪♪ Come on,
I wanna sh
ow you something. Okay. Close the door. All right. Okay, listen, I'm gonna be
working under the tractor, and I'm gonna tell George
that I need his help. And as soon
as he's in the position that that melon's in, then... You ready? Watch. See? This lift is ancient, and I wore the safety cog
down just enough to make it look like it
could have slipped at any time. But if you are gonna
be down there with George, then who
is gonna pull the lever? No. No, I can't do that. -Listen, listen!
-I can't do t
his. It has to be this way, okay? I have to be
down there with George to get him into position, and I can't pull the lever
from down there. Maybe--
maybe you can use a rope, and you could just tie
that rope to the lever. -Wait a minute, a rope?
-Yeah. George is gonna be able
to see that. He's not blind.
Now listen to me. Do you want do this or not? Come here. [George] Baby, I was thinking
that we oughta, like, you know, get on the computer, start lookin' around
and seein', you know-- See if ther
e's
any kind of people makin' any kind of money,
you know. [echoing] Maybe start
a whole thing... ...like a Grand Prix car
or somethin'. Huh! They're expensive,
way too expensive. We'll see what we can do.
Find something cheap, you know? [voice echoing]
Though I guess we could go out and find somebody
knows how to do it. We just need to,
you know, do research. God, I love these beans. We're almost there,
darlin', look. -We're almost there.
-I love it. [camera flash whooshing] [fan whirring] [str
aining] Goddamn it! -What? What's wrong?
-These old tractors, man. That bolt--
that bolt is locked in.
I can't get it loose. Well, here, let me--
let me take a look. Oh, yeah. -All right.
-All right. Okay. Yeah.
This damn thing's rusted tight. -All right.
-All right, it's-- Good. [both grunting] [George] Damn thing is tighter
than a cat's ass. [panting] -Go again?
-Let's do it. [Sonny] All right. -[Sonny] You ready?
-[George] I'm ready. All right. One. Two. Three! [Sonny screams] Aaah! -Sonny!
-
Aah, my hand! -I'll pull the chain.
-No! No! No! We have to stick
to the plan! -But your hand!
-You were never here! You were in town
when this happened! Go! Just leave! Leave now before someone
pulls in off the road! [crying] You're gonna have
to keep it together, okay? What's done is done. He ain't comin' back! Oh, baby, I love you. And remember,
that's why we did this, right? And you love me too, right?
Huh? I love you. You know I do. Now go. Go! Larissa! Get rid of those shoes. Get rid of th
em! Go! Aah! [engine starts] [Larissa panting] Oh, fuck. [grunts] [cans thudding in cart] [gasps, retching] [vomiting] [flushes] -[line ringing]
-[groaning] -[woman] 911 emergency.
-I need help! [phone rings] [ringing] Hello? [siren wailing] -What happened?
-[man] Mrs. Good? -Yes. Who are you?
-Detective Crawford, ma'am. Detective, what's going on? It seems there's been
a very serious accident. An accident?
Where's my husband? Well, I'm very sorry,
but your husband's been killed. Killed?
[breath
ing rapidly] -I'm sorry, ma'am.
-Uh, how? It looks like Mr. Good
was working under the suspended tractor
along with your mechanic. Sonny. Was he hurt, too? His hand
was injured pretty badly. That was him
in the ambulance you just saw. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! [sobbing] George. George. How is this possible? I knew your husband, ma'am. High school.
He was a good guy. [Larissa] He was a good guy. [somber music] Hey, thanks a lot, Officer.
I really appreciate it. Have a good night. How is your hand?
It's fine. It's fine.
Listen. No more texting, okay? -I was just worried about you.
-I know. I know. What did you do with the shoes? What's eatin' at ya? -It's the George Good thing.
-The accident? Older husband,
pretty young wife,
new business starting up that could
be worth millions in time. -So?
-So add in a handsome young
mechanic who happens to be on the scene at the time
of the husband's death. All right. Is it that
he's young, that he's handsome, or that he was
on the scene that bothers y
ou? All three.
It may be nothing. -You met the wife?
-Yep. -And?
-Russian, pretty, stylish. Not the kind of woman
you would expect to marry
a tractor mechanic. -Thing about the wife, clothes.
-Clothes? I'm thinking back
on when Mrs. Good came home, she's wearing
this flowery dress, hair wind-blown,
driving in a-- a convertible. Like I said, like a picture
out of a magazine, all except the shoes. -Her shoes?
-Yeah. She's wearing
these dirty tennis shoes like you would wear
to mow the lawn or some
thing. So? So who do you know
that goes grocery shopping looking like Grace Kelly,
wearing some nasty, ratty-looking,
raggedy tennis shoes? Who's Grace Kelly? All right,
maybe her feet were sore. Maybe her Mary Janes
were nippin' on her bunions. Maybe she has foot problems. Or maybe she had
to ditch the shoes that she was wearing
in a hurry, -because she got blood on them.
-Come on. If you're standing right next
to the release lever of the lift
that drops the tractor on your husband's head,
crus
hing his skull, you're definitely gonna
get blood on your shoes because of the splatter. And in a hurry,
she grabs her old sneakers. Exactly. And that's why
we need to canvass that road from the shop
all the way into town. That's, like, 15 miles. Okay. We'll canvass. -Tomorrow morning.
-Copy that. [crickets chirping] Are you sure you threw them
on this side of the road? I told you,
I threw one to the right, the other one to the left
down the road. Yeah. Well,
we have to find them. But I wiped th
em off. Don't you watch television? Wiping them off
isn't good enough. Anybody could
spot them out here. Anybody but us. What did the police say to you
when they talked to you? Nothing. A detective just
told me about the accident. What about you? They asked me some questions
in the emergency room. -Detective?
-No, just a patrolman. You know, "How did it happen? Where was I
when the tractor fell? Where was George?"
Stuff like that. What did you tell them? I told them what we worked out
I would te
ll them. -Sonny?
-What? We shouldn't have done it. Listen to me. Listen to me. Don't you ever say
that again, ever. It's done. You wanted it just as bad
as I did, even more. It was you who wanted
to get rid of him, remember? -[crying] Sonny, stop.
-Don't start
that crying shit, either. I'm not getting the needle
because you can't
keep it together, -you hear what I'm saying?
-Sonny? -I said, do you hear me?
-[laughs] I see it. Thank God. We must have stepped
over that thing a dozen times. See, lo
ok, baby,
this is what I'm talking about. We just have
to keep it together. Now all we have
to do is find the other shoe. Come on. [match strikes] [Sonny] We have to be
more careful from now on. -I know.
-If anyone were to suspect that we're together,
it would be bad. We should stay apart then. All business from now on, at least until we know
we're in the clear. In that case,
good night, Mr. Jordan. Good night, Mrs. Good. [dramatic music] [police radio chatter] [mower engine starts] [straining]
[sweeping] -Can I help you?
-Place looks ship-shape. Must be tough working
with one hand, huh? Yeah.
But, hey, I'm sorry, man. I'm not doing
any mechanical stuff today. I'm just working here,
cleaning up. But you can come back
in a couple of days. Sonny Jordan, right? Yeah, that's right
And you are? Oh, we didn't get a chance
to talk the other night. Detective Crawford. I'm sorry about the accident. That must have hurt
like a son of a bitch. [laughs] Tell you the truth,
it still does. You know,
they gave me
some, uh, pills for the pain, but, you know,
pills only do but so much. Wow, that lift
is pretty old, huh? Yeah. Everything
is old in this place. George wasn't one
to buy new tools if the old ones
still did the job. Besides, he was saving up
for this motor park -that he was building.
-I've been by there. Looks like a real winner
once they get that
alternate route in. -Huh.
-You involved in that? Well, he was gonna
have me run the mechanic side once he got it up
and running, but, uh,
now I don't know, you know. I think his wife
is still in shock, so she hasn't had time
to think it through yet. So where you from, Mr. Jordan? -From a lot of places.
-Name a few. [laughs] Uh, St. Louis, Kansas City,
New York, Albuquerque. I even, uh, spent
some time in Los Angeles. -Travelin' man.
-Yeah. I used to be. But not anymore, huh? Look, I had settled down
in my original hometown, but I lost everything
in the floods last year. I was down to my last dollar
when George hired me. He made m
e feel real welcome. How about Mrs. Good?
She make you feel welcome, too? -[chuckles]
-She was all right. Look, I know how things
can look to folks. -How's that?
-Come on, man. You know how it is.
You got this pretty young wife
who marries a much older man. Yeah, but the husband's
gone now. See, that's what
I'm talking about. But I'm telling you,
it wasn't like that. -But she is a pretty woman.
-Yeah, she's a pretty woman. There's a lot of pretty women
in the world, -but not a lot of good jobs.
-But this pretty woman might be coming
into a whole lot of money soon. She and her husband
get along okay? Yeah, they got along great.
Why? She was
at the grocery store shopping
when this happened, right? Why are you asking me
all of this, huh? Look at it.
It's worn out, it slipped. That's the end of story. I just don't feel
like I'm earning my money if I don't ask
a few questions, right? I mean, a man got killed.
Come on. If I need you to come down
to talk some more, that wouldn't be a problem,
would it? Look, I-- I really
wouldn't feel comfortable
leaving Mrs. Good here alone so soon
after her husband passed. Yeah, but if I need you,
you'll come down, right? Right? Look, if you need me, yes,
I will come down. -Great.
-[stomps feet] [chuckles] Take care of that hand. [car door closes,
engine starts] [horn honks] What did he want? You were watching? No, just at the end. If he had seen you,
it would have looked suspicious. What was he after? He was just fishing.
It's what cops do. They
throw in the hook
to see if they get a nibble. What did he ask you? If I liked George. If I was staying on
now that George was gone. -What you're like.
-Me? -Why would he ask that?
-I told you, he's just fishing. I couldn't sleep last night. I kept going over everything, trying to figure out
whether we missed anything. It was only the shoes.
That's it. We think the shoes
were the only thing, but it's always the things
you don't think of. [ominous music] [thunder crashes] [door creaks] [thunder c
rashes] Rough day, huh? Larissa. [groans] [car door closes] [distant thunder] Whoa, here, here,
let me help you. You should be
in the shop, Mr. Jordan. [distant thunder] We can't. Sonny, we can't. No, we can't. [Sonny breathing heavily] We can't. Sonny, we can't. [man on phone]
Ames Construction. -Larissa Good.
-Mrs. Good, I was really, uh, sorry
to hear about your husband. Um, he was a really nice guy.
Everybody over here liked him. Thank you. I'm calling to tell you that I'm gonna keep
my husb
and's plans. And I'd also like to make
a few changes to the design. It's gonna be great. Oh, wait. Now, the furniture,
I need the chairs over there. [continuing indistinctly] [cell phone rings] [ringing] [ringing] -[Sonny] Oh.
-[ringing stops] -Hello.
-Mrs. Good, Detective Crawford. We met the night of your
husband's accident, remember? Detective Crawford?
How can I help you? I'm trying to reach Mr. Jordan, but he's
not picking up in the shop. -Have you tried his cell phone?
-No luck there, eith
er. He might have stepped out. I can have him call you
as soon as I see him. Nothing urgent,
but it is important. Of course. Why, thank you.
Good night now. Good night. Detective Crawford
wants to see you. What for? He didn't say.
You have to call him back. Use the phone in the shop. [Crawford] Mr. Jordan,
you busy tomorrow morning? I'd like you to come in
if you can. -Tomorrow?
-Is 10:00 okay? What for? Some things I wanna go over.
Won't take long. Well, you couldn't ask me
what you wanna ask m
e
over the phone? It'd be better if you came in. Okay, 10:00 it is. Great. Can Mrs. Good
bring you over? Or I could send a patrol car
to bring you in if you like. Yeah, no,
no need for a patrol car. Yeah, I'll ask Mrs. Good. I'm sure
she can make that happen. Great, great. See you then. -You heard.
-Why did he ask to see you? I don't know. They must have found something. I have no idea. They might be watching us. They might have us bugged.
What if they have us bugged? If they had us bugged,
we'd
be in jail already. Besides, they need to get
a warrant for that. Right. Because the police
always follow the rules. Come on,
we don't have much time. Should've sealed it up
after the accident. Didn't know it was
a crime scene then. -Well, you didn't
know it wasn't.
-Yeah, yeah. [Larissa]
Do you want me to wait for you? [Sonny] No. I'll call you
when I need to be picked up. If I need to be picked up.
If they let me go. Don't say that. I'll talk to you later. [engine starts] [police radio chatte
r] Mr. Jordan,
thank you for coming in. Detective,
what's this all about? You told me 10 a.m. I've been
waiting over an hour now. It couldn't be helped.
But this won't take long. Just a couple of speed bumps
I need to get over. Speed bumps? Yeah, speed bumps.
You know, make you slow down, give you a chance to look
at things a little more closely. Yeah, like what things? Just a few things.
That's all. Few things. But I already told you
everything that happened. [Crawford] I don't know
if you told
me everything. Have a seat. ♪♪ Let's just get
this thing over with, okay? I mean, what do you guys
want from me, huh? I come down here
in good faith to cooperate. See, Sonny, I brought you down,
'cause I wanna run
an idea by you. -An idea?
-I wanna come to you straight. I don't buy that George Good's
death was an accident. Why? I already told you,
I was right there. The tractor fell on him.
Shit, it fell on both of us! Look at my goddamn hand, man!
I almost lost it! You think I would do
somethi
ng like this to myself? I've seen worse.
You remember the guy that shot his wife dead
then shot himself in the hip, -talking about
the burglar did it?
-That's Danny Oakley. Guys in prison
call him Annie Oakley now.
You can guess why. [beeps] Good luck with that. Sonny, I waited till now
to call you down here 'cause I was waiting for
the medical examiner's report. Yeah.
Uh, they're always backed up. They say it's funding. -It's always
about the money, right?
-Yeah. What do you want
to know from m
e? The medical examiner found
some very interesting things about the wounds
on Mr. Good's body. You see this photo right here
on Mr. Good's collarbone? -Mm-hmm.
-Very unusual
pattern right here. Temple, identical same wound, and this is the one
that killed him. There's
the tractor's differential. That part right there
on the tractor is the only part
whose shape matches, identically matches,
both of those wounds. So? So the tractor
fell on him twice. Look, I don't know anything
about that, all ri
ght? Everything happened so fast.
And, remember, I was hurt, okay? Look, maybe--
maybe the thing bounced
around a couple of times. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the tractor fell,
hit the floor so hard, it bounced
and it hit them again twice. -That's fair.
-There you go. Only the medical examiner says
that that's not possible because of the depth
of the wounds, and is willing
to testify in court to that. Well, maybe the medical examiner
got it wrong this time. The marks don't lie. [Elias]
Sonny. You know,
a pretty woman like that can get a man
to do a lot of things: lie, cheat, steal. -Maybe kill.
-Yeah. Huh. A woman can get a man
to do a lot of things. You know what?
I'm done talking. I'm done answering
your questions,
and I want a lawyer. Hold on.
You don't need a lawyer. We won't ask
any more questions, cool? But wait a few minutes
and then you can go. -Give us a few minutes.
-Just a couple minutes. Couple minutes
ain't gonna kill you. Here's something to watch while
you're wa
iting a few minutes. I'll give you two minutes. That's cool.
Fast forward to the good parts. We got two minutes.
Just fast forward it. Get it all ready for you. [Crawford]
Oh, this is a good film. -Look at this.
-It's really good. [Crawford in video]
Mr. Good was here, and the lever
releasing the lift was all the way over there. [Elias] No way he could pull
the lever from here. If nobody else was here
to do it, how did it drop? Exactly. Unless this
was really just an accident. [Crawford] A mecha
nic could've
rigged the locking mechanism. But how did he pull the lever
from all the way over here? Go Go Gadget arms? What are you doing? [Crawford] What if... Watch. Presto. [Elias in video]
All right, fine. -Cool, huh?
-That's bullshit. Now, it's either one
of two things. Either you did it... or you and Mrs. Good
did it together. And when I find out which one
it is, I'm coming to get you. You can go for now. You know,
it just occurred to me. Didn't you need
a warrant to do that? -Like this?
-We knocked. Twice. Yeah. [door opens and closes] Goddamn. [Elias] We threw everything
we had at him. He didn't break. He didn't break,
but maybe she will. You really think she's in on it? I can't wait to get
Mata Hari in that chair and turn the heat up on her. Damn. -You ready?
-[George] I'm ready. All right. One. Two. Three! [groaning]
Get it off! Get it off! God! Aah! Pull the chain! -[George groaning]
-Pull the chain! -[George] Pull the chain!
-Pull it! Okay. Oh, God.
That's it. That's it. -
I'll get you out!
-I cannot hold it much longer! [George]
What are you doing, Sonny? -What are you doing?!
-Let go! [Sonny screaming] Aah! Aah! [car engine running] [Larissa]
Why don't you say something? Why don't you want to tell me
what you and this detective
talked about? -[Sonny] Pull over.
-[Larissa] What? [Sonny] Just pull over!
[panting] -[coughing]
-What's wrong, Sonny? It's gonna be fine. I'm gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be okay. That's what he said? It's either
you or it's both of
us? Yeah, but they
don't have anything. Nothing real, at least. They--
they just got this video. -What video?
-It was this video that shows how I could've dropped
the tractor on George by myself by tying a rope
to the lift lever. -Could that work for him?
-No. It's just speculation. -It wouldn't hold up in court.
-Court. I can't go to court. Listen to me. Listen to me. The more he talked, the more
I realized he had nothing. Okay? Nothing.
It's just a theory. But he knew the tractor
was dropped
twice. He thinks
he knows a lot of things. You think I would be
sitting here right now if they had anything on me? You think
they would let me leave? No. He was just fucking with me
to see how I'd react. You didn't freak out with them
like you did with me
in the car, did you? No, I did not. [whispers] Oh, God. Sonny, are you gonna turn on me? -What?
-Are you gonna turn on me? -Of course not.
-Even if they offer you
a lighter sentence? Why would you ask me
something like that? -Because if you are
...
-I'm not! Okay? I'm not. Why? Are you gonna turn on me? No. Never. Yeah, 'cause sometimes
when people think the other person
is gonna screw them over, it's because they thought
of doing it first. Sonny, when you're scared,
you-- you think crazy things. Come here. [Sonny]
It's gonna be all right. [cell phone rings] -Police. What should I say?
-[ringing stops] [home telephone ringing] Well, we gotta
answer it sometime. [ringing] -Hello?
-[man] Larissa Good? -Yes?
-This is Middleton Police. I h
ave Detective Crawford
on the phone for you. [Crawford] Mrs. Good. -Yes, Detective Crawford?
-Yes, uh, can you drop by the police station
tomorrow morning? -Is this really necessary?
-I'm afraid so, ma'am. It's about
your husband's death. -Okay. Until tomorrow then.
-See you then. Listen, he's just-- he's just gonna try
and rattle you, that's all. I can't go down there
and face them. -Shh.
-I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid I won't be able
to keep it up. I'm afraid I'm gonna say
the wrong thing
. It's just a game. That's how
you gotta look at it, as a game. -I can't go to jail.
-No. No, no, no. I know that.
Nobody's going to jail. We're gonna figure
this whole thing out. -I can't go to jail. There's--
-I know. We're gonna... There's something
I have to say to you. I'm pregnant. Pregnant? -Are you sure?
-Yeah. I did the test, twice. A baby? And it's mine? That detective is so smart. He won't quit on us, will he? Do you love me, Sonny? You know I do. ♪♪ [Sonny]
It was my idea. All of it.
You see,
I had a thing for Larissa from the moment
that George brought me home. And one day, I made a move, and she put me
in my place right away. She told me that
she loved her husband, and if I ever tried anything
like that again that she would let him know
and have me fired. But I couldn't get her
out of my mind. So I started thinking
that only if he was gone, if-- if he was dead,
then maybe I'd have a shot. I set it up. And as soon
as she went into town, I had George help me
under the tract
or. And just like you figured, I tied a rope around the lever,
and I pulled it. And I thought
if I got my hand get hurt then you would never think
it wasn't an accident. But it was all me. Mrs. Good had absolutely nothing
to do with it. [rooster crows] Sonny? Well, I got to hand it to you,
you had it figured all along. -Hmm.
-You got your guy. Yeah? I wonder. -See you tomorrow.
-See you tomorrow. [Sonny] "Larissa,
by the time you read this, I've already done
what I had to do. I've confessed
to k
illing George. You were right. The police aren't gonna
let George's death go. They're gonna be
on us every minute, and the last thing I want is for them to find out
that you were involved, especially now
with a baby coming. I told you once that I would die
before I saw a child of mine end up in the care
of the state like I was. And if the police think
that you're involved, that's exactly
what will happen. It wouldn't be good
if both our baby's parents
were in jail. I knew what I had to do
the mo
ment you told me
you were pregnant. You must sell the farm now and move away
where no one knows you. You don't want people
to start talking
when they see our son. And don't try to contact me. Someday, when I'm finally
settled wherever they send me... [slam echoes] we'll find a safe way
for you to let me know how you and our baby
are doing. I just need you to know that when I told you
I loved you, Larissa, I meant it. Take care of yourself. And take care of our baby. And P.S., if it's a boy, I'd
like you
to name him Brandon in honor of my grandfather. If it's a girl,
well, you pick the name." [Larissa]
"My dearest, Sonny, I think about you all the time. Our little boy
is growing so fast, you would hardly recognize him. He's very happy and bright
and, just like his father, very good with his hands, putting together
his toys and puzzles. You would be very proud of him. Love always." [Sonny]
"Sweetheart, your last letter
lifted my spirits to the sky. I'm glad things are going so
good for y
ou and little Brandon. I'm glad to hear our baby boy
is doing so well. It seems so long since you
sent me a picture of him. Every time you do, he seems
to grow and change so much. Sometimes he looks like me,
and sometimes
he looks like you. I'd like to see at least
one more picture of our son
before my time runs out. All my heart, Sonny." Mail, Mrs. Good. [Larissa] Thank you, Dinah. Did you bring in
those family photos
for our employee wall? Uh, yes, Mrs. Good. [race cars buzzing outside] -Here.
-Thank you. Wow.
What a handsome little boy. -He's my heart. My little Troy.
-Hmm. -How old is he again?
-Uh, he's five. -So big for his age.
-Mm-hmm. -Thank you, Dinah.
-Of course. [man with Russian accent]
Another letter? He doesn't quit, does he? Well, if he does,
he might start thinking, and we don't want him
thinking, do we? Could you please go
and make sure the Lamborghini gets ready
for next client? [Sonny]
Son of a bitch! Come on! Last time, they screwed up
and cost me two grand. Okay.
Later, boss. ♪♪ [warden]
Sonny, it's time. [Larissa] "Dearest Sonny, you can't know how much I wish you were
right here with us now. Because of your strength
and your sacrifice, our son is growing strong
and healthy, and one day I will tell him all the good things
about his daddy. He will be
starting school soon, and he is just the smartest
little boy you ever saw. All my love." [race cars buzzing] [inmate] You're going
to a better world, Sonny. ♪♪
