So what happened to your wrist?
You've got the last interview with the Meanest Man in
America, and that's your first fucking question?
Suicide.
Who the fuck cares?
‘cause if there’s a hell I’m going there anyhow.
Think about it.
Nobody in the great state of South Carolina gonna believe
I'm dead till long after they pull that switch.
You can believe,
think me a liar, don't matter to me.
I'm famous now.

Hey, where you headed?
Jacksonville.
I'm headed in that direction.
Hop in.
It's your lucky day.
Name's Lisa.
Nice to meet you, Lisa.
Friends call me Pee Wee.
Thanks, Pee Wee.
So, uh,
where you from?
Pennsylvania.
What're you doing all the way down here?
Thought I'd see the country a bit.
In Jacksonville?
Miami, Key West.
Wherever the road takes me, really.
Hmm.
Well, good for you.
Welcome to South Carolina.
♪ Two strangers met, two worlds apart ♪
I hadn't seen anyone for a while.
I was
starting to think I was gonna
have to camp out on the beach.
Yeah.
It is a dead time of year.
Um, Pee Wee, I think we missed the turn.
Oh, no I'm taking a scenic shortcut.
I would hate for you to miss it.
Sometimes
you only get one chance.
I done plenty of bad things.
Robbed, hurt,
killed even.
Never really thought about it much.
It just hit me when I saw her.
Listen, I'd, uh, like a
little something for the lift.
I don't have much money.
No, just—
I was thinking maybe something different, like
a hotel room in Savannah for a couple of hours.
My treat.
Or maybe a little something here.
I don't pay for lifts.
Not like that.
What, you think it's funny?
That you'd let me fuck you?
I don't pay for lifts, not that way.
Don't sass me, girl.
I'm not fucking around.
You know what this is?
Please, please.
Put your hands on the dash.
Now!
Look at me.
Look at me!
I was gonna do whatever I want with her.
She was mine.
That fucking laugh of hers.
That look.
Disgust.
I did it.
Mm-hmm.
I did it right there.
Funny, I went to church.
I did contractor work for about every church in the
four-county area.
Well, I think we can do it.
I may have to talk to Uncle Vernon about price,
but it's a good cause.
I just can't do it for free.
I was always looking for.
Something more.
Not work.
Where the missing won't be missed, you know what I mean.
...at least not by authorities anyhow.
Hey there.
Did you enjoy the services today?
Yes, sir.
You like climbing trees?
Yes, I like climbing trees.
I like climbing trees too.
You're too big to climb trees.
You think that's funny, huh?
Tracey?
Oh, uh, sorry, I gotta go.
See you later.
I tried to keep my business
in Sumter and my fun on the coast.
Coastal kills.
Worked at Donny's Garage for a little bit.
Donny was an okay guy.
But sometimes,
Business got in the way.
Namely Clyde.
♪ My dearest Love
♪ I write tonight
Thanks.
Make it quick.
I ain't renting space to two businesses,
if you know what I mean.
Here. I need you to get hot on this too.
Get him the hell outta here.
Be right on it.
That's what you said to me last night, Pee Wee Gaskins.
Clyde, you know you
don't want what I got hanging here.
Pee Wee,
you know you love you some of this chocolate now and then.
Ooh.
Is that true?
No.
She's just joking.
Oh, Pee Wee.
Now it's not just you who likes a good old time with
old Clyde, now is it?
Clyde,
I like women.
White women.
Just like you.
I do love women.
And you and someone close to you, know that.
All right, Clyde.
Leave the poor boy alone.
Go do what you gotta do.
Clyde was a drug-dealing pimp.
She liked men, but she liked women more.
White women, black women, it don't matter to her.
Hmm.
she was a pain in my ass.
You got the law's car in there.
Is there anything I should know?
No, it really is car trouble.
Wiring, which is my specialty.
You see the under-desk wiring harness?
I really don't give a fuck, Pee Wee.
I trust you.
I trust you too.
Hey Clyde, just do me a favor.
Cut that shit talk out about me.
I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea.
When was the last time you saw Curtis?
I mean, I saw him yesterday, and then he was like,
"I don't wanna see you anymore,"
and then he locked me out of the house.
Hey sweetie.
This song called "A Young Man On The Run"
will surely become a big hit!
Hi, Doreen.
Hi, Pee Wee.
How you been?
I wanna talk about networks of influence
As you know, several families here in Sumter
have quite some influence.
Do you have some specific people in mind?
I'm talking about the Butchers, the Robertsons,
even the Hatchers are friends with the mayor
and can easily get favors.
Let's take the kids to the river next week.
Mmm hmm, that'd be nice.
Hey, money talks, right?
You damned if I didn't forget something.
what do you want me to say?
That's the way the world works.
See you later.
Pee Wee!
What?
Got some tools at the shop.
You sure you wouldn't like to stay?
What I like to do and what I
gotta do, two different things.
See you later.
I swear he's always going off in that stupid car.
Damn.
I was just a funny little fella to everyone.
Everyone looked down on me.
All the big families, the
Robertsons, Butchers, the Hatchers.
Shit.
So I decided to have a little fun
especially with them Robertsons.
Honey, you might want to close that window over there.
Storm's coming in.
I'll get it in a second.
Turning in, in case you're interested.
I'll be over in a jiff.
There's someone out there.
I think it's Gaskins.
There!
He was there, Jim.
It was Gaskins, I'm sure!
Oh God, Tracey.
Well, well.
Deputy Whitebread.
What can I do for you?
Hmm, what can I do to you?
It's Wilson, Clyde.
Deputy Wilson.
You all look the same.
Law enforcement, that is.
Sheriff got a complaint saying some of your girls
have been straying up near Mr. Streeter's on Main.
No idea what you mean.
I got no girls
other than my lovers.
If your lovers are going out wearing clothes like that,
we're gonna have some problems.
See that brunette?
Mm-hmm.
She's new, and the councilman
has come back to tap her 4 times.
I think we have enough pull to push into town a bit.
It's probably not worth the hassle to mess with Sheriff
Hartry on this.
I appreciate it, sweetheart.
Anything else?
You've been hanging around an ex-con.
Anything I should know about?
I just love little men, baby.
And I can make an exception for you, Sergeant Sideburns.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
There's been a call from the
Robertson's residence for disturbance.
Deputy Meyer is on his way.
Oh no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
This can't stay here.
What?
Advertising one of my businesses.
I'm an entrepreneur!
You don't even know what the fuck that word means.
This weird shit is just wearing me out.
Pee Wee, you got a reputation and you're just...
What reputation?
You've done time for
attacking your cousin with an axe.
I was young.
I know, but this doesn't help when you're doing this
bizarre stuff.
I had some people come by and try to tell me to
stop renting to you.
Influential people.
What'd you say?
Well, it don't matter.
You're a good mechanic, you
pay your rent, you help me out.
They don't bring their cars here, so I told them no.
What people?
It don't matter.
Just the way I am.
Where the hell you even get something like this anyway?
Classified ad.
Some funeral home in Columbia.
They was having a bankruptcy sale, so bought it and
figured I'd carry my shit in it.
I even fuck in it too.
Living or dead,
it don't matter to me.
Ah, damn Pee Wee.
It's unlocked.
6, 7, 8, 9,
10.
Told ya, cuz, I used to do this here all the time
back in New York.
Not like you slow-ass motherfuckers down here.
Fucking-A, Henry!
What are you doing?
I'm too young, you gotta drive.
I just didn't know what to do.
He came in drunk, screaming at me, and he threw a bottle
at my head and it barely missed.
And then he just started smacking me around...
I didn't know what to do.
And the he just kept hitting me.
What the hell, Doreen?
You look like Shit.
Damn raccoon eye.
Curtis beat her.
Did you sass him?
I don't care much for his type, but did you?
He didn't just hit her, he beat her.
Well, he ain't coming around here.
That's for damn sure.
She'll be fine.
I gotta go to Charleston for a couple days to check on
the garage and Walter.
I think she'd feel better if
you stayed, and I'd feel better.
You know what the hell I got going on down there?
It's our money.
Walter's been acting more quiet than usual.
Gotta see if it's just Walter
being Walter or something's up.
Walter...
My business partner in Charleston.
He was the not-so-strong,
silent dumb type.
But the man knew how to chop a car, that's for sure.
[Song "A Young Man On The Run" plays"

Didn't expect you.
Hadn't heard from you in a while, Walter.
How's tricks?
Dennis brought in a car.
Here.
Mmm.
Nice.
I paid him already.
How much?
Five on the dollar.
It's clean!
He didn't break the window.
Must be getting better.
I know he's your brother-in-law, but
should we make sure it runs first?
It runs just fine.
Got anything else for me?
One over there.
That's good to go.
All right.
so, how's Diane?
What the fuck that supposed to mean?
Oh.
I guess she's still with Avery.
Listen, I'm gonna take this for a spin before I head back.
Kinda like how Avery's taking Diane for a spin.
Yeah, I could always get a rise out of ol' Walter.
Start talking about his wife.
Visiting Walter was good for one thing.
Coastal Hitchhikers.
They never found any of your coastal kills, Pee Wee.
A lot of people think you're lying.
You know, the swamp's a good place to hide a body
'til a hurricane comes around and sweeps up all your
bargaining chips.
And no one believes you.
That's fine by me.
Hey, sweet thing, where you headin'?
Charleston.
I'm headin' there for work.
Get in.
Must be my lucky day.
You have no idea.
Hush, hush.
Nobody going to hear you out here.
I want to hear you beg.
Can you hear me?
Pee Wee.
Hey, Pee Wee.
Clyde's here.
All right.
Tell her I'll be right there.
Losing my patience, Pee Wee.
You know, uh, I didn't think it was my place to mention,
but I saw your niece out partying the other night.
So which one?
Janice.
And she was out with your buddy out there.
What?
Seems like everybody in your family's got something sweet
on Clyde.
Motherfucker.
Hello, Pee Wee.
Guess what I got?
I really don't give a fuck, Clyde.
I've got a little Pee Wee in my belly.
What?
What do you call a little Pee Wee?
A wee Pee Wee?
Outside!
Now!
Come on.
What the hell you think you're doing?
What'd I say?
You knocked me up.
You gotta stop with this shit, Clyde.
Don't want to be a daddy again?
I thought you'd want at least one since your ex don't let
you see the kids.
Maybe I keep it.
Maybe I won't.
Got something else for me besides this little miracle?
Not yet, but, uh,
I might get something stronger than usual.
Is that the big score you've been promising, Pee Wee Daddy?
Mmm hmm.
Customers been digging that shit.
Like my niece.
Business is business.
Black, white, brown,
they buy.
I sell.
Sell to anyone, Clyde.
Any color.
Keep that shit away from my kin.
Maybe the good stuff is on the house for me.
Maybe even a little bonus.
You know, for bein' such a good salesman.
Why would I do that?
To make little Pee Wee go away.
And to cool some of that talk between me,
you,
and the wife.
I hate to admit it, but—
she could really get under my fucking skin.
So I had to take care of that.
Reverend Parker.
I think our offer was fair.
It's very generous, but some of the members want to bring
in some outside help.
But...
I'm sorry.
Wait for me there, son.
I tried to run a real business.
With my uncle...
Vernon.
he weren't my real uncle.
He was just close with my mom.
Real close, if you know what I mean.
So what is the problem?
I understand.
Can't win them all.
Why?
We good.
Fair, too.
Folks like the Hatchers,
the Robertsons,
they think they're better than us.
They are the haves.
We are the have-nots.
So we take what we can get.
Yeah.
Take what we can get.
I heard a noise outside.
Come!
Tracey, you stay over there by your Momma.
Jim, what's going on?
You're scaring me.
Jim, what's going on?
Janie,
you've had so much.
I wanna leave.
We already left the party.
We're going home.
No, no, no, no.
I wanna leave Sumter.
I'm bored.
You wanna leave Sumter?
And go where?
Anywhere.
This place is gonna kill me.
Okay, we are gonna get you home
and then we can talk about that.
No.
Come on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I love you.
Shut up. No, you don't!
Uncle Pee Wee!
Hi!
What's going on?
Uh,
Janice ain't feeling too well.
I can see that, Patricia.
The question is why.
Well, she had a bit too much to drink and a bit of
something else too.
You can get her in my car.
I'll take you back to my place.
Both of you.
Sober up.
I don't want her momma seeing her like this.
No!
Get up!
No.
Let's get!
You gotta open the door.
Hold up!
Push and push and then pull.
There we go.
Go!
No!
Gee!
Damn!
What did she take?
I don't know, but she had some pills.
From Clyde?
I think so, but I don't know.
Where were y'all at?
A party.
No one offered to give you a ride?
I mean, I just took her outside for a minute, get her
sobered up.
She kept going.
Hmm.
Well, we can go back to my new place in Roper.
I don't want Norma to see her.
Norma can't keep a secret worth a shit.
It was weird.
She kept talking about
leaving, leaving Sumter, and
she kept taking more and more.
What about you, Patricia?
I'm clean.
Bullshit.
Got her?
Nice and neat, now.
Got her?
I don't like this.
Bathtub's over there.
Go get in it.
Take your clothes off, it's going to get wet.
Take yours off too.
Got to help me.
Lift you in.
Wake up, Janie, wake up.
Patricia, no!
Here we go, here we go.
Can you just wake up a little bit?
Help me out here.
I don't want to be here.
What are you doing, Pee Wee?
Helping you take your shirt off.
Uncle Pee Wee...
Hey sweetheart.
Yes, Uncle Pee Wee.
Uncle Pee Wee's here, it's going to be okay.
No, no, no.
Janice, help me a little bit, a little bit.
I need you to come...
Get your hand off of me!
Get your hands off!
Uncle Pee Wee?
Yes, Uncle...
Uncle Pee Wee, what are you doing?
Sweetheart. Patricia had an accident.
I'm gonna go take care of her, okay?
Just stay here, go back to sleep.
You’re a drug whore.
You turned my niece into one, too.
Clyde's running you, ain't she?
Ain't she?
Clyde's running you, ain't she?
You act like a whore, I’ll treat you like whore.
I'm sorry, Janice.
I never figured on all this.
The one thing I regret,
I let everything get to me.
I mean,
taking it out on my niece.
But the way she was acting,
I felt nothing but shame.
That made me angry.
Let's go say hi to your momma.
Come on.
Carla.
What are you doing here on a Sunday?
Or even at all?
Been a while, so I thought
it'd be good to see some family.
You being here ain't gonna work.
Hmm.
How's Janice?
Janice is fine.
Why do you ask?
Donny says she was hanging
around some questionable people.
I hadn't heard anything about that.
Just wanted to check in, 'cause we family.
I gotta get back inside to lunch.
Nice to see you, too.
Ain't that right, Janice?
I wanted to give you one last
chance to see your momma in your house.
You know what?
I'm gonna make Clyde pay for what she did to you.
Sweet child.
You wanted to see me, Uncle Vernon?
You've been dealing to Janice.
I didn't.
What're you going to do about it anyway.
You gonna hang me up like when I was a kid?
You attacked that girl.
I should have done worse.
You did plenty.
Both of you to blame.
Wasn’t like she was much of a good momma anyway.
You leave your mama out of this.
You care for her, Vernon?
Not like you’re fucking her anymore.
I am tired of your crybaby shit.
Mama was a whore.
You got the hell beat out of you.
Oh, you were neglected.
Shit, boy!
Take some responsibility!
She was a whore!
Come on.
She done the best she could.
Most of your kinfolk turned out fine.
Oh yeah?
Half brothers, half sisters from a different dozen men.
She was a whore, Vernon.
Funny part is, ain't no
little baby Vernon's running around.
What's wrong?
Can't get it up?
Maybe you're just shooting blanks.
Watch it, Pee Wee.
I think the real reason why you mad
is 'cause you don't want to admit the only reason why she
was with you is 'cause you put a roof over her head.
That's it.
I've had enough.
We're no longer working together.
Yeah, that's fine.
I got my own shit going on anyway.
Got a deal going on right now, matter of fact.
Fucking Pee Wee.
Mm,
well, well.
Pee Wee Daddy.
Come in.
Got something for you, Clyde.
Grape drink?
And a swallowed grape drink?
You are trippin'.
You know I like the grape,
but that ain't gettin' me to another world.
Oh, but it will.
It's got somethin'
special in there.
Like acid?
Mm-hmm.
You mean like LSD?
Something like that.
Don't go down too smooth, though, it packs a punch.
Holy shit!
Goddamn!
What you do? What the hell you do?
Oh yeah,
it's acid, Clyde.
Real
fucking acid, stupid whore.
No one's smarter than Pee Wee motherfucking Gaskins.
I never thought anyone was gonna miss Clyde.
Shit.
Boy was I wrong!
Kevin.
Sheriff.
I
wanted to talk to you about
some cases I think may be connected.
I heard from her girls that Clyde,
on the other side of the tracks, she's been missing
for 2 days.
Martha Dixon, tall black
girl, likes to dress like a man.
Yes, she's also been buying drugs from Pee Wee Gaskins
and reselling, and his niece
and her friend are missing as well.
What about the church?
You know Gaskins got every single one of those members
up in a frenzy.
Now listen, Jim Robertson's a good man, but his wife, you
know, she likes attention, if you know what I'm saying.
No one's filed a report, so
that tells me a lot right there.
And Clyde?
Let the detectives do their job.
Henshaw didn't even take a damn statement.
I'll talk to Henshaw, okay?
But look at it.
They're undesirables.
That's how I see it.
This feels off to me.
What the hell.
Doreen.
Surprise.
What are you doing here?
Johnny dropped us off.
Why would he do that?
He thought you and Norma might put me and Robin
up for a bit.
Where is Robin?
She's out back playing.
And, uh,
I'm gonna have another baby.
Well, yeah.
Not Johnny's?
No.
You gonna have another nig-kid again?
Don't say that!
Well, it's true.
I'm a tolerant man, but I do not abide by race mixing.
I know, but I was hoping you and Norma could take us in.
Johnny don't want us.
Curtis just beats me.
You done business with black folks?
Curtis and that Clyde woman—
What about my business?
What about Clyde?
Listen.
Norma's at her parents.
Why don't you come out back and,
uh, play with Robin for a little bit?
Not much of a pond.
Pretty from afar,
but up close,
ain't much to look at.
It's nice.
Cool in summer?
Mm-hmm.
Looky right here.
I think you can see the sunset peeking out.
Yeah.
Doreen, look up there.
That's an egret.
See it?
Up in that tree right there.
See it?
Oh, yeah.
I'll go get your little one so she don't run off.
She might want to see this.
Howdy.
Yeah?
You rent a room to a Martha Dixon?
Who wants to know?
I'd rather not show you my badge, if I can help it.
No names.
Cash only.

Well, this is just damn good work, Dennis.
Thanks, Pee Wee.
Just, uh, glad you gave me the opportunity.
You're fine.
And, uh,...
The money?
Don't be afraid to ask for what's yours, son.
Walter, get the man his money.
Wait here, Henry.
Hey, Superfly!
come over here.
Tell the truth.
Was it you who did that work?
Dennis can’t lift like that.
I mean,
I don't like to brag.
Brag, son.
Come on, brag.
Plus, I like to know who's doing what for me.
Well,
yeah.
You let him take the credit.
He's got the contacts.
Besides, he's my cousin or
half-brother, some shit like that.
You ever think about doing this on your own?

Hello?
Greediest fuckers.

He's started back up again.
Damn it!
Yeah.
You wanted to see me, Sheriff?
I'm granting you your wish, Kevin.
Which was?
I want you to open up any cases with Gaskins ties.
I want you to harass people he knows, badger him.
And even if you can't find any solid links, let him know
we're investigating him.
Why the change in heart?
There was an obscene phone call spree the other night.
Almost anybody with ties to that church got them,
including the reverend.
So that's why I'm going after him?
Phone calls?
Yeah, there's gonna be a mob if this continues.
People are getting fidgety, and someone's gonna end up
getting a little trigger happy.
Don't care if Gaskins gets it.
But I can't have any collateral damage in an
election year, so—
I'm on it.
Right away.
Now, what you explain next
is gonna determine whether you live or die.
Put your hands up slowly.
Now turn around.
Name.
Will Hampton.
Why you keep crossing paths with me?
I'm a fan of your work.
Stop blowing smoke up my ass, boy.
Why you following me?
I got a business proposition for you.
Make some real money.
I already make money.
How about $1,500?
And half a stash a man's got up in his digs?
Tell me more.
My reputation started spreading, so people started
hiring me to do things for them.
I usually work alone,
But...
This one job, I needed to bring Diane.
Damn, Avery, put you dick in your pants.
Hey, Pee Wee, what's up?
Need to speak with Diane.
Diane.
Put your jacket on, and meet me outside.
Now anything you got to say to Diane, you can -
Boy!
I thought I set your ass straight.
Now I know you fuckin' her in my garage.
And quite frankly, I don't give a shit.
But if Walter finds out, and there's bloodshed,
if he don't kill you first,
I will.
Got it?
Yeah, got it.
Come on, Diane.
Outside, now!
Close the damn door, Avery.
You know Walter's gonna kill one or both of you, right?
Walter is too much of a pussy.
I could fuck Avery right in front of him
and he wouldn't do a thing.
Yeah.
I got a proposition for you.
You, Pee Wee?
It ain't like that, Diane.
Don't get me wrong, any other time,
mm-hmm,
I'd fuck you.
Ain't you a romantic.
How'd you like to make some extra money off them gorgeous
titties of yours?
You can keep 'em covered, I just need to use 'em as bait.
Go on.
I tell you,
you can't tell a dickhead in there.
He ain't that bad.

must like 'em dumber than shit.
But you can't say a thing.
Okay.

Maybe one day.
All right.
Let's see.
Well,
if you ever want to ride in
something with some real horsepower—
I'd love that.
I'll take you out sometime.
Oh, really?
Shhhh.
Whoa.
Be real quiet. Cuff him.
What's going on here?
Where's your car keys and where's your house keys at?
Keys in my pocket, man.
Go home.
Don't tell nobody about this.
Go put him on his knees over there.
Got any last words for me?
Listen here, you fucking leprechaun—
Dumbest thing you can say to a man with a knife.
You paid me to kill him, not to bury him.
Get to work.
What's the matter?
I just—
You ain't never seen a man killed before?
Not like that.
Better get to work.
Start digging.
Or I'mma put you in there with him.
Haven't seen you in a few days.
Need a word?
Been working on a project.
Not now.
I don't want you here no more.
What do you mean?
Look,
you do great work.
The problem is you attract too much attention.
I ditched the hearse, but—
Yeah, it's not about that.
Look, when you were gone,
we had a visitor
asking questions at the shop, a deputy.
He was asking all kinds of questions.
Yeah, like
where you were, what you were doing,
how long you missed, just shit like that.
And I told you before, I don't mind your work hours.
I don't mind your side jobs.
What I can't tolerate is the police coming around,
snooping around, especially when they're not dropping
their cars off, which this one said
He ain't gonna be bringing
his cars by if you're still here.
I see, Donny.
I was planning on making Charleston a full-time thing
anyway, so—
Well, you got the talent for it.
No hard feelings.
Nah.
Yeah,
well, tell me what you need.
$500?
Paying that much?
I have to call you back.
Some joker outside trying to talk to me.
Making some calls, Mr. Gaskins.
Listen, uh, I'm gonna need you to come in on some old
cases we have.
The ones with your niece, friend, and Martha Dixon.
You know, we never did get a statement from you.
Hmm.
My niece ran off.
Sheriff said so.
I don't know no Martha.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
You don't know Martha.
Maybe Clyde rings a bell, hmm?
Yeah, we reopened that case.
New evidence has come up, new witnesses, so we're
reexamining all the details.
You understand.
Here's my card.
You give me a call on that sometime this week, we'll
meet up and question you, hmm?
Oh!
Almost forgot.
The hell is this?
A ticket.
You came up doing a 36.
It's a 35 zone.
You should know better.
Have a good night.
What're you doing here?
Looking for a screwdriver.
Listen, Norma,
I wanna talk to you about something.
What?
Well, the garage in Charleston's been doing good.
I mean, real good.
I don't think I gotta work at Donny's no more.
OK?
So, I had someone offer me a
roofing job in Charleston,
and that means moving to Charleston.
I'm not talking a trailer neither.
I think we can get a house.
Are you kidding me?
No, a pretty nice one too.
We could even go see Walter, hang out with our friend.
Well, that sounds nice, except for the last part.
Well, I know, but ever since Doreen went out west, like
her cousin Johnny said, you ain't had many people over,
and it might be nice to be around an old friend.
I'd like that.
Yeah?
All right, I'll go down to the garage and start looking
for a new house.
Yeah?
Okay.
Now Charleston was a fresh start.
I had no bad reputation there.
Made some friends too with, uh,
some similar interests.
♪ I don’t need a promised kingdom ♪
♪ Hanging somewhere in the sky ♪
Dale!
Hey there, Pee Wee.
♪ Like a flag I fly at night ♪
Oh, I see.
I see.
Again, Dale?
No, it's not like that.
Mm-hmm.
You ain't gotta lie to me.
You know I understand.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So young.
So tender.
That's a sweet kiddy.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I think Micki might want to go for a ride
with ol' Uncle Pee Wee.
You, uh,
you want to come along?
Yeah.
Let's go for a ride.
Hey, Micki!
♪ Just don’t let 'em carve you ♪
♪ into someone
♪ This is my American dream, no halo, no cross ♪
Deputy.
Yes, Mr. Robertson.
I know you played a role in
running off Pee Wee, but he's back.
You've seen him?
We were getting up past the Roper Woods, about a mile or
so from here.
He was driving.
When was this?
Friday.
I don't think he noticed us.
He was too busy with those guys in his car and a girl.
A little girl.
That's my case.
Uh-huh.
Pee Wee Gaskins?
Do me a favor.
Get a real name for this guy.
And who called it in?
OK.
What's the good word, Charlie?
You hear of a Pee Wee Gaskins?
No, don't think so.
Why, what's up?
A call came in from a deputy in Florence
about our missing girl.
Our girl from North Charleston?
That's the one.
And?
Said she was seen with this older fellow driving around
up in Florence.
Time for us to head out to Florence County.
Walter.
Better have a good reason for calling me out here.
I didn't want to tell you this on the phone.
Diane wants to see you.
About what?
Don't know.
Just said business.
Hmm.
She at your place?
Where else would she be?
I don't know.
Out or something?
Here. Clean yourself up, you look like shit.
Hey, Pee Wee, come on in.
Nice place.
Want to take a seat?
Diane, unless you gonna strip
and show me what God gave you,
I'll get going soon.
That girl,
the one at your party,
her picture's in the newspaper.
Yeah.
She's missing.
I saw you and your molester buddy talking to her.
So fucking what?
There were other people at that party.
Said in the newspaper
that she disappeared about a week later.
I told Avery.
He says it's a coincidence and that the Pee Wee he knows
wouldn't want any cops banging on his door.
Ain't nothing the cops would be concerned about.
I hope not.
But if you did,
I'd want to keep it between friends.
You know, like that job we were in on together?
One where you paid me $100 to scare that guy and then
he went missing?
We can keep it between you and me.
Avery ain't no friend of mine.
Well, maybe I can sit on it.
I wanted to go to the cops.
Anything to help that poor girl.
But Avery thinks it's worth
$5,000.
$5,000? Oh, shit.
See what that jackass gets for opening his mouth.
Says if you pay, we'll be good.
He can't keep a secret worth shit.
You, uh,
tell him about that other thing.
No, I didn't.
And he won't talk about this?
He'll shut up for money.
Shit.
We can meet anywhere public, out in the open.
All right.
you know my tenant house over by Roper Woods?
Okay.
Yeah, meet me over there at the crossroad by 7-Eleven,
right next to Sam's Bar.
Give me about
2 days.
I can do that.
Yeah.
Make sure you bring shithead too.
He'll be there.
Sheriff Hartry?
Hi, this is Detective Bill
Ainsley with SLED down in Charleston.
We're working a case over here, and I was wondering if
you might know a guy by the name of Donald Henry Gaskins.
I believe he's from up—
Oh,
uh-huh.
Okay, well, in that case, I was wondering if we could
maybe meet with you and,
don't you have a Deputy Wilson?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, perfect.
Yep. Alrighty, thank you.
You have a good one.
♪ I was counting all the failures ♪
Hey, Pee Wee.
What the hell are you doing here?
I told you to meet me over by the crossroads at 7-Eleven.
Just finally wanted to do some business.
Yeah.
Well, my money's over at the tenant house.
Why don't you just bring it here?
No, we'll follow you.
All right.
You know the way.
♪ Sometimes life leans toward you ♪
Follow me.
♪ When your luck is running thin ♪
Motherfuckers!
What the hell are you doing going over there?
What?
The money's there.
In public, Avery!
Diane!
The money's there.
Come on!
The money's by the tree over there.
You keep it in a tree?
Yes, a tree, Diane.
I don't trust Banks.
I don't want anyone tracing anything back to me.
Makes sense.
How do we know you're not trying to pull any shit?
For fuck's sake, Diane,
there's other places out here.
It's isolated.
What fuckers didn't meet me
when and where I told them to?
Fine, you stay out here in the dark by yourself, alone,
and me and Avery will go get the money.
No, I'll go.
Oh, fuck.
Come here.
Shh. Sit quiet.
Come on!
Now you know I'm gonna have to kill him for putting those
ideas in your head.
I'm gonna let you live for Walter's sake.
But you gotta stay real quiet and get on
your knees over here.
I said not one word!
You had to know I'd done this before.
So why?
Why?
He wanted to do it!
You know he wanted more.
Hmm?
I know, I just thought—
You thought you had old
Pee Wee by the balls, didn't you?
Greediest motherfuckers.
Waste of good titties.
Clean here.
Good work, boy.
What'd I tell you?
What'd I tell you, Walter?
He's a superstar.
Superstar.
Come here, son.
Mmm.
Dale, how you doing?
Good to see you.
Under 10 seconds?
That's what I'm talking about.
Uh-huh.
Damn good work.
The hell's wrong with you, boy?
Where's my sister Pee Wee?
How the hell should I know?
Probably fucking Avery or something.
See, I know what she was gonna do to you.
I know what you did to her.
Boy, you had too much to drink.
You need to shut up now.
Yeah, I'm gonna fuck you—
You want something too?
You need to part ways from him.
'cause we done.
He better watch his ass, and if you going to stay
with him, you better watch yours too.
Come on, Walter.
Walter.
What'd you find out?
He's been talking.
To the police?
No, he wouldn't.
He wasn't all that close to Diane.
I think he just wants money.
And he wants to come back?
That's what he says.
Hmm.
But—
Sounds like bullshit.
Mm-hmm.
I was thinking the same thing.
You know he's gonna try to do
something with the garage, right?
We can't let that happen.
Walter,
I'm gonna need to know how far you willing to go.
What a surprise, you brought Henry.
Yeah, the kid wanted to tag along.
Look, I know you're angry,
but you do good work, so I got you something, something
nice, something foreign.
Thanks, Pee Wee.
Listen, I'm sorry, man.
I just had a little too much to drink and made a fool out
of myself, and I,
I'm sorry.
Listen, it's in that grove over there,
far away from any houses.
Walter, Why don't you go make Henry a sandwich?
Me and Dennis got some business to talk about.
Listen,
I want you to know I didn't do anything to your sister.
It's right over here.
Over there?
Yeah, over by that tree.
Anything special about this place?
I figure we could, uh, throw
some chains on that tree branch.
Maybe lift some engines.
I think you might be right.
You know, you gotta be crazy to wear a jacket in South
Carolina this time of year.
You know what?
I think I got just the thing for that, —
Car's out here!
Car's out here?
Yeah, some girl I know called it isolated.
If it means dark and creepy as fuck,
She's right!
Yeah.
What the—
Told you not to run with him.
You okay with this?
All right, Now we get them in the grave.
This ain't the first time you done this,
is it?
That's correct.
Anyone else out here?
Johnny?
I ain't seen him in a while.
Not here, but—
Yeah.
He ain't coming back neither.
Be scary as shit if he did.
Avery?
Mm-hmm.
I reckon Diane.
Sure you wanna know?
She was going to blackmail me.
Her and Avery.
Walter, I didn't want to.
I really didn't, but—
Avery was an asshole.
Yeah.
He were at that.
Anyone else?
Yeah, some you know.
Some you don't know.
You want to give me a hand with this here?
Gaskins, open up!
We've got a warrant!
Gaskins!
Sheriff.
Son of a bitch.
Might be the Charleston girl.
And I bet them shoes ain't his either.
Norma?
Hey, it's Walter.
Yes, listen,
have you seen Pee Wee?
You know where he's at?
I really need to talk to him.
Okay.
Terry,
it's Walter.
You know where Pee Wee's at?
Yeah.
They talked to him too.
I think something's wrong.
He just
up and disappeared.
Diane...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Dennis Bell?
And Henry King?
How many days?
Really?
Wow.
Okay.
What do we got?
So it turns out Dennis Bell and Henry King haven't been
seen for days.
So that's 2 people who used to hang around his garage,
neighbor girl, these 4 other people, and a little girl
outside Sumter.
If he has a problem with someone, they disappear.
Seems like it.
Detective Ainsley.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Yeah, he's with me.
Uh, McNeil?
Now?
We'll be right down.
Let's go.
Walter McNeil wants to talk.
I think he's found religion.
Bet he has.
So I helped him
bury Dennis and Henry at his place in Roper Woods.
And he starts talking about how he killed Johnny.
Then he says what he done with Avery and Diane,
my wife and her boyfriend.
There's some joke on me.
Then he starts talking about his private graveyard.
Hitchhikers, mob hits,
the taste of human flesh.
Says he had a hearse and hauled body parts in it.
You need any more?
Yeah.
Go on.
Norma?
Yeah, it's me, Pee Wee.
Listen, baby, I
might have to go away for a while.
Yeah, I gotta get out of town
before these lawmen come get me.
Mm-hmm. Getting hot and heavy.
Oh, shit.
Speak of the devil.
Out of the phone booth!
Call you back, baby.
On the ground,
Now!
Out of the phone booth, get on the ground, now!
Come on, come on!
Easy, easy.
Hands behind your back.
Donald Henry Gaskins, you're under arrest for contributing
to the delinquency of a minor.
You have the right to remain silent.
Come on, Walter.
Take us to them bodies.
Uhh.
That's Henry.
My God, how do you know?
Recognize the shirt.
Must be that burial ground he was telling you about.
Oh God!
I take it that's Diane.
Alright, Donald.
Who else we got buried out there?
Well, who else you got right now?
I got, let's see, got Mr. Dennis Bell.
Mr. King.
How about Avery Hamilton?
Diane McNeil.
Mm-hmm.
Doreen Daniels and her baby,
not counting her unborn child.
That makes 6, sort of, if you
count that unborn colored child.
Yeah, that should be good enough
to keep you boys plenty busy.
But why?
Why all that?
Business.
Mostly, except for, uh, Doreen there.
Yeah,
ain't nowhere as interesting as my coastal kills
or them hits I did for the mob.
Well, you flatter yourself.
Sounds like you proud of what you did.
Mm-hmm.
Fucking disgusting.
There's a special place in hell for guys like you.
Oh, yeah?
I feel bad for guys like you.
You don't know what real freedom is.
You don't know how to take power into your own hands.
You make me sick.
Better than being the one in the cuffs.
Once you decide to kill anybody,
Anytime, anywhere, in any way you want.
Once you get to that point,
you set yourself free.
Funny.
I escaped the death penalty for doing all that.
But I kill some nigga on death row and they give me
the electric chair?
Yeah.
I made sure no one
won't forget me.
Pee Wee, it's time.
All right, let's go.
This is Donald Pee Wee
Gaskins saying goodbye for now.
