00:01:17 I'm going to Kentucky
00:01:20 When I'm back, we're gonna go hunting.
00:01:23 Do some fishing.
00:01:24 We'll get away from all this stuff.
00:01:27 I appreciate the friendship.
00:01:47 Frank Elkins was found dead today.
00:01:49 What?
00:01:51 His truck went into the Nolin River.
00:01:56 According to the police,
00:01:59 They say it's an accident.
00:02:03 Three dead agents.
00:02:05 Two FBI a couple of nights ago,
00:02:30 This thing started
00:02:33 ...from a coal town in Kentucky...
00:02:35 ... talking about fish acting weird,
00:02:40 He sent back soil and water samples...
00:02:43 ... that were off the charts from
00:02:47 Frank found out the
00:02:50 ... thousands of barrels of deadly
00:03:01 Something's going on down there,
00:03:04 Jesus Christ, Jack! You and
00:03:08 We're dealing with hillbillies that
00:03:12 I want you to go in,
00:03:15 ... find the people who're putting it
00:03:19 If we don't have a witness
00:03:22 When was the last time
00:03:29 Your contact in Kentucky
00:03:41 Let's do this thing right for Frank.
00:03:56 How do you do, sir?
00:03:58 Bob Goodall.
00:03:59 - Nice to meet you.
00:04:02 Welcome to Kentucky.
00:04:03 - You're the preacher.
00:04:05 How come you ain't wearing
00:04:08 I'm a country preacher.
00:04:09 - You all dress like that?
00:04:11 Very nice.
00:04:13 Every now and then.
00:04:57 This is it.
00:05:01 Here's your bathroom here.
00:05:04 Radio picked up two stations,
00:05:07 Here's as good a list of folks
00:05:11 Like I say, they don't talk much.
00:05:13 People keep to themselves.
00:05:15 Your best bet is to start easy.
00:05:17 Fix a few porches.
00:05:20 - Take a little time.
00:05:22 I don't know how much time I'll have,
00:05:42 Mister, Mom said
00:05:47 Your mama's right.
00:05:50 What's your name?
00:05:51 Christine.
00:05:52 That's a pretty name.
00:05:54 How about you?
00:05:56 Alberta.
00:05:58 That's pretty.
00:05:59 Her name's Rose,
00:06:02 She don't? She kind of shy?
00:06:05 Yeah.
00:06:06 Have you came
00:06:09 - Yes, I have.
00:06:11 Because I think it needs fixing.
00:06:14 Thanks.
00:06:15 You're welcome.
00:06:18 And Papa, but he's not home.
00:06:20 He works in the mines.
00:06:25 Walter's sick?
00:06:27 I don't know, just sick.
00:06:29 Maybe I should say hello to him
00:06:32 Sure, come on in.
00:06:42 Hi, Walter. How you doing?
00:06:45 You drawing a picture?
00:06:47 What's this one here?
00:06:51 ...or a UFO?
00:06:52 He's shy.
00:06:54 It's not a helicopter. This is a UFO.
00:06:56 That's what I thought.
00:07:01 He's sick.
00:07:03 No, I'm not.
00:07:04 How long has the boy
00:07:08 What kind of sickness you have?
00:07:09 It's a kind of a rash.
00:07:11 Does that itch or bleed or anything?
00:07:14 You get dizzy and feel like
00:07:17 Reverend said you work on the outside.
00:07:20 Yes, sir.
00:07:22 The boy was sick.
00:07:24 You're a good artist, I'm telling you.
00:07:46 That's good.
00:07:54 Hover right there.
00:07:56 Hold her there. Let her down.
00:08:17 My daddy wants to know
00:08:19 Maybe it's time I had a talk with him.
00:08:22 Have the boys
00:08:50 Good morning. I think
00:08:53 That'll be $75.
00:08:55 It's not free?
00:08:56 No.
00:08:57 No free goods.
00:09:00 Here's your change,
00:09:02 I'm going to do that.
00:09:06 - Gets a man thinking.
00:09:14 How's the fishing around these parts?
00:09:18 I like a perch dinner
00:09:22 You catch perch about now?
00:09:24 - No, I'm sweeping steps right now.
00:09:27 You better leave him alone.
00:09:29 Ask old Cotton too many questions,
00:09:33 Be worth nothing the rest of the day.
00:09:36 I'm sorry. That won't happen again.
00:09:41 Got any questions, you can ask me.
00:09:44 Good enough.
00:10:37 What are you doing?
00:11:01 - We got company.
00:11:03 What the fuck are you doing here?
00:11:06 I was taking a little Sunday stroll.
00:11:09 ...it's not Sunday.
00:11:12 A fine time to take a walk
00:11:15 It's tough, huh?
00:11:17 This is tough.
00:11:20 Is it kind of like Deliverance?
00:11:23 Deliverance.
00:11:24 I guess I should be kind of scared.
00:11:27 "You got a pretty mouth, boy."
00:11:35 I got no business with you.
00:11:41 Watch them, boy.
00:11:44 My jaw!
00:12:20 Amen!
00:12:23 That was wonderful singing, everybody.
00:12:25 I believe we're getting better
00:12:28 Before we get to the brunch part
00:12:32 ...we have a special visitor
00:12:36 He's donated his time to help us...
00:12:38 ...with any kind of carpenter problems
00:12:42 I know everybody's got
00:12:46 Henry, he already helped
00:12:50 During lunch, stop by
00:12:53 Make him feel welcome.
00:12:55 Deacon, would you lead us
00:12:59 May the Lord bless us and keep us...
00:13:01 ...and His face shine upon us. Amen.
00:13:31 Here.
00:13:33 That's a UFO right there.
00:13:37 At night...
00:13:38 ...I see the lights
00:13:41 That's probably
00:13:46 Nice of you to come
00:13:49 It's nothing that condescending.
00:13:52 One question.
00:13:54 Are you gonna screw up?
00:13:56 You never know.
00:13:58 There's a lot of misfits and losers
00:14:02 Alcoholics, ex-cons
00:14:04 I probably fit
00:14:07 If you do screw up,
00:14:10 I'll do the best I can
00:14:14 You take care, Mr. Taggert.
00:14:33 Jack Taggert.
00:14:35 Hello.
00:14:38 Sarah.
00:14:39 That's a nice name.
00:14:41 I was just sitting over there
00:14:44 I thought you might like to come
00:14:49 You really are new here.
00:14:51 Stand out a little bit, do I?
00:14:55 I didn't mean that.
00:14:58 You're talking to me.
00:14:59 Something wrong with talking to you?
00:15:05 Excuse me.
00:15:11 Sarah's a nice girl.
00:15:12 Sad, though.
00:15:15 Why's that?
00:15:17 A lot of history.
00:15:19 People here don't give up history.
00:15:38 Hey, Mr. Cotton!
00:15:41 In the direction I'm walking.
00:15:43 Would you like a lift?
00:15:45 I don't like to ride in cars. Might get
00:15:49 How about if I did some
00:15:52 It won't cost you nothing.
00:15:54 Sure, but the worst thing
00:15:57 I might like it.
00:15:58 Isn't that good?
00:16:00 No, I want to move.
00:16:01 Why?
00:16:03 House falling apart.
00:16:05 That's like a Zen riddle.
00:16:09 - I'll see you around.
00:16:53 Is this the Kellogg residence?
00:16:55 Yes, it is.
00:16:57 But I think you know that, Mr. Taggert.
00:17:00 I was noticing that the steps
00:17:04 I could get under there
00:17:06 I don't hand out Bibles,
00:17:11 Thank you, but I'm not interested.
00:17:17 Thank you.
00:17:19 You're welcome.
00:18:20 Shit!
00:18:28 Morning, boys.
00:18:39 The snakes didn't do it.
00:18:41 - He's starting to piss me off.
00:18:50 What the hell?
00:18:52 Snakes!
00:19:08 - Thought you weren't afraid of snakes.
00:19:31 Did you see that?
00:19:32 The whole town saw it, you idiot.
00:19:34 Know how that affects my dad and me?
00:19:37 I ought to put a bullet in your head.
00:19:39 I know guys like this.
00:19:42 You don't push, they
00:19:45 I'm in charge, Lloyd.
00:19:49 What we got coming in here every night,
00:19:55 Son, all I'm saying is maybe
00:19:59 Before you do anything else.
00:20:09 I won't tell you.
00:20:11 Come on, Natalie, you're killing me.
00:20:19 I'm in a meeting.
00:20:21 It's your son, sir.
00:20:23 I'm out of the country.
00:20:28 - Hey, Daddy.
00:20:30 We got another situation down here.
00:20:33 New visitor.
00:20:36 You call the fire department
00:20:40 They only send one idiot at a time.
00:20:42 It'll take months
00:20:45 So keep it business as usual
00:20:49 Jesus, boy! The Marines haven't landed.
00:20:53 See, I know exactly
00:20:55 Business as usual.
00:20:58 So I don't want to see him
00:21:14 - Come over here!
00:21:21 Hi.
00:21:22 Hi, how are you doing?
00:21:26 You know better than that.
00:21:47 Hello.
00:21:49 - How are you doing?
00:21:51 Look, I only sold six jars...
00:21:53 ...of your honey this week.
00:21:58 Yes, please.
00:22:18 Thank you.
00:22:23 Bye, now.
00:22:24 You take care.
00:22:36 How do you do?
00:22:37 Can I help you?
00:22:38 I was thinking I might
00:22:44 I also think I might like
00:22:50 Yes, sir.
00:22:52 All of it.
00:22:53 Let me ask you something.
00:22:55 What are you going to do
00:23:12 It's about five miles to home.
00:23:15 It's not a bad walk
00:23:19 What's this...
00:23:20 ...smoke in the mountains?
00:23:22 That coal's been burning in that
00:23:27 Does it ever concern anybody...
00:23:29 ...that the earth's on fire underground?
00:23:34 No matter how strange something is...
00:23:37 ...if you give it enough time,
00:23:40 No more questions.
00:24:30 Thanks for the lift.
00:24:51 I've been thinking about my porch.
00:24:55 Would you still consider fixing it?
00:24:58 What made you change your mind?
00:25:01 It broke this morning.
00:25:04 I'll be there.
00:25:06 - Thank you.
00:25:09 Have a nice day, ma'am.
00:25:11 You too.
00:25:18 There's a singing contest
00:25:22 Patsy and I are gonna sing.
00:25:23 Come out and vote for us.
00:25:25 What do I get?
00:25:26 My sister.
00:25:28 - All right!
00:25:30 We heard you're helping Sarah.
00:25:32 That's nice of you,
00:25:34 We shouldn't talk about that.
00:25:37 She's just another one
00:25:39 - How you doing, sir?
00:25:41 You should hear these small-town
00:25:45 They sing good too.
00:25:50 How about that porch?
00:25:52 Lord, I just got over the flu.
00:25:56 About what?
00:25:58 Think about how you guys
00:26:04 Oh, Lord!
00:26:05 A lot of folks don't appreciate
00:26:09 ...sticking his nose
00:26:11 You need to be careful,
00:26:14 Somebody may think
00:26:16 You understand what he's saying?
00:26:19 - Somebody gonna get hurt.
00:26:23 You could be an English teacher except
00:26:29 Get out.
00:26:30 "Get out."
00:26:33 Believe it or not, people here like me.
00:26:38 I've decided to stick around a while.
00:26:41 I've also decided...
00:26:43 ...that if you don't like it,
00:26:47 I got your tough shit right here.
00:26:53 My nose!
00:26:55 Sometimes two isn't enough.
00:27:17 I cracked my wood.
00:27:19 I'm damaging my lumber.
00:27:34 My nose!
00:27:52 I should've known you'd be
00:27:55 ...public brawl like this.
00:27:57 You're under arrest for assault
00:28:02 It was self-defense.
00:28:03 I saw them.
00:28:08 Anybody else see anything?
00:28:10 Nothing.
00:28:11 No problem here.
00:28:13 Appreciate your help, Reverend.
00:28:21 Listen to me.
00:28:22 Investigators been hounding
00:28:26 Nobody's found anything.
00:28:29 Is that why you send me to folks
00:28:33 Folks here don't like to talk,
00:28:35 I also know that this man
00:28:38 ...which wouldn't be here
00:28:41 You're a good man.
00:28:45 ..."The money ain't worth
00:28:48 I think you'll come around to that.
00:28:56 We still got us a situation.
00:28:58 You even hurt him?
00:29:00 I'm gonna blow his brains out.
00:29:02 - Might need a grenade launcher.
00:29:05 Shit! Now I gotta tell him
00:29:08 They used to kill the messenger
00:29:14 Give me something to drink.
00:30:21 I bet you could use some tea.
00:30:23 Yes, ma'am.
00:30:31 Honey?
00:30:32 Yes, please.
00:30:36 You ever get lonely up here,
00:30:43 Well, you know...
00:30:46 ...I helped my daddy
00:30:50 And then when he died
00:30:55 So I feel like
00:30:58 No, I don't get lonely.
00:31:01 Was he a miner
00:31:06 When he was an engineer,
00:31:12 You ask a lot of questions.
00:31:14 I'm sorry.
00:31:16 Why don't you
00:31:19 All right.
00:31:21 Why do you do this work?
00:31:23 I do this work
00:31:27 And I have no family.
00:31:30 And I do it...
00:31:31 ...because it makes me feel good,
00:31:36 That's nice.
00:31:42 Looks like some weather coming.
00:31:46 I'm out of nails.
00:31:47 I can get those for you.
00:31:49 On the front seat of the car.
00:31:52 Coming up.
00:31:53 Top seat.
00:32:15 Find them?
00:32:16 Yeah.
00:32:27 I hear you've been asking
00:32:31 Where I come from, that's how
00:32:34 They ask questions and talk.
00:32:40 Maybe someday I will.
00:32:43 I've decided I like the idea
00:32:47 ...but not for free.
00:32:53 I guess so.
00:32:55 Seven?
00:32:56 That'd be great.
00:33:51 Good evening.
00:33:53 These mountains
00:33:56 Most church charity types
00:33:59 ...how they walk with God,
00:34:03 They talk at you instead of to you.
00:34:05 And they never ask your opinion.
00:34:08 And that's all you do.
00:34:11 You're a cop, right?
00:34:13 Not exactly. I work
00:34:17 I was told that somebody's dumping
00:34:22 I wanted to see if
00:34:26 I want to stop it too.
00:34:29 Do you still want to fix my porch?
00:34:31 Yes, sir, I'll do that.
00:34:34 You ever seen anybody
00:34:39 I've seen weird lights over there
00:34:43 Helicopters, stuff like that.
00:34:46 My steps need fixing too.
00:34:49 I can do that.
00:34:50 That Carter boy was talking to me about
00:34:54 I think it's helicopters
00:34:58 You know how to get up there?
00:35:01 No, but I can show you something.
00:35:07 Watch out for these rocks.
00:35:10 There you go.
00:35:13 Dead fish everywhere.
00:35:17 It happens after a big rain.
00:35:21 It's been like this for months,
00:35:24 I didn't think you knew about fish.
00:35:28 My uncle told me never to tip
00:35:32 You're guaranteed to lose.
00:35:34 That's good advice.
00:35:37 You sent me that letter?
00:35:39 Yes, sir, I sent it.
00:35:41 Now that you know who I am
00:35:45 ...I'm heading into town.
00:35:48 Of course.
00:35:58 Make it some charity event.
00:36:00 Celebrities love that shit.
00:36:02 ...like flies.
00:36:04 For chrissake, now what?
00:36:06 What do you think?
00:36:12 Tell me what's going on in one
00:36:16 ...and why you can't handle it.
00:36:17 I am handling it.
00:36:19 Shit, boy.
00:36:22 Cover up and get out of here.
00:36:25 Sure, honey.
00:36:36 He's a fed.
00:36:38 EPA.
00:36:39 Name's Jack Taggert.
00:36:42 I had to call in a favor...
00:36:44 ...to find out what's going on in my own
00:36:49 Want me to take him out?
00:36:51 You couldn't take out a cheeseburger
00:36:55 He wants a fight,
00:36:57 Use Lloyd.
00:36:58 Tell him to get something on him,
00:37:02 I can do that with one call.
00:37:20 You're two days away from a new porch.
00:37:23 - How much do I owe you for the ride?
00:37:28 - You just funning me.
00:37:31 Sure got to thank you.
00:37:41 By the way...
00:37:44 ...I forgot my driveway's
00:37:49 Really?
00:37:50 That's a joke.
00:37:53 That's a good joke.
00:37:56 - I'll see you later.
00:38:17 You know what's funny?
00:38:19 We thought we'd just stop by.
00:38:23 Here you are romancing somebody else.
00:38:25 He drops you off just like
00:38:29 Personally, he's not my type.
00:38:32 He get to first base, or did you
00:39:04 Good evening, Mr. Taggert.
00:39:06 How are you, ma'am?
00:39:08 I'm very well, thank you.
00:39:14 Hungry?
00:39:16 This looks awfully nice.
00:39:19 Thank you.
00:39:21 I'll get the food.
00:39:25 You're a good cook.
00:39:28 I'm not, but thank you.
00:39:34 What makes you hang around a town...
00:39:37 ...where folks don't seem
00:39:40 Well, I did leave once.
00:39:44 I just decided in the middle
00:39:47 ...that I had to live in Louisville.
00:39:50 The first day I had
00:39:53 They got all the money I'd saved,
00:39:59 But, you know,
00:40:02 Anyway, this is home.
00:40:05 Yeah, I can understand that.
00:40:09 I had heard that
00:40:13 You might like to come with me.
00:40:17 You mean...
00:40:20 ...together on a date?
00:40:25 Yes, I'd love to.
00:40:27 I'd love to.
00:40:29 Look at this!
00:40:30 Hey, Sare.
00:40:33 How you doing, little sister?
00:40:36 You are.
00:40:39 Jack Taggert, this is my brother, Earl.
00:40:42 How are you, Jack?
00:40:43 Any friend of my little sister
00:40:47 Damn, it is good to be home!
00:40:52 I'll tell you, my little sister
00:41:04 I know the best hunting in this state.
00:41:07 I know these mountains.
00:41:10 That'd be great.
00:41:12 Hey, little sister.
00:41:16 - Anyone like dessert?
00:41:18 Thank you so much for the dinner.
00:41:21 My pleasure.
00:41:24 Come back soon, all right?
00:41:38 He's a nice guy.
00:41:40 So how well do you know him?
00:41:44 How well you ever know anyone?
00:41:52 I'm glad for you to meet somebody.
00:41:55 It's just that...
00:41:57 I don't know. I don't get
00:42:01 You get a bad feeling
00:42:04 Let me put it this way.
00:42:07 I don't want this guy
00:42:10 Oh, really?
00:42:13 It's kind of funny.
00:42:15 I'm gone for a few weeks...
00:42:18 ...and little Miss Caterpillar
00:42:26 It's a hard world out there.
00:42:29 You don't have much experience.
00:42:31 Maybe I can take care of myself.
00:42:33 I'm just trying to talk to you.
00:42:37 I'd hate to call those doctors
00:42:46 I just don't want you
00:42:49 It'd kill me if anybody hurt you.
00:42:52 That's all.
00:43:02 What'd they do to you?
00:43:06 Let me see if I can
00:43:33 Get the door, please?
00:43:35 Take him all the way in
00:43:43 Another few hours,
00:43:46 He got a concussion.
00:43:48 Another fine day in paradise.
00:43:52 I'll be back, buddy.
00:44:10 You all know what's going on here.
00:44:18 Good morning. How are you?
00:44:20 Would you come with me, please?
00:44:22 You wanna go have some coffee?
00:44:24 I'm not here to socialize.
00:44:27 Cotton is beat almost to death.
00:44:29 People get hurt,
00:44:31 Assault and battery.
00:44:34 Listen, why don't we cut the shit?
00:44:36 You know who I am. I can arrest you
00:44:40 And you know it.
00:44:42 So why don't you get back in Orin's car
00:44:46 ...and take off?
00:44:49 I don't believe in your authority.
00:44:52 You'll believe a gun.
00:45:01 Now, how you want to do this?
00:45:04 Wanna play this game all the way?
00:45:06 I'll have 300 agents come up here
00:45:10 ...and crawl up every orifice you got.
00:45:13 Then you can go to your
00:45:16 ...an ointment to rub
00:45:19 How do you want it?
00:45:21 How do you want it?
00:45:26 Let's go.
00:45:43 Who are you, Mr. Taggert?
00:45:46 I'm a federal agent for the EPA.
00:45:49 We received several reports...
00:45:52 ...that someone has been dumping
00:45:56 ...of toxic waste in these hills.
00:45:58 It concerns me because
00:46:01 ...it could destroy drinking water
00:46:05 ...and kill a bunch of people here.
00:46:08 Why did you feel like
00:46:11 Did you really want to come and
00:46:15 Or was that a lie too?
00:46:18 Where I come from we call it betrayal,
00:46:24 I loved fixing your porch,
00:46:44 You know what I love about this show?
00:46:46 Who cares if they move
00:46:52 Still makes you feel great.
00:46:56 Sir, it's your son.
00:46:59 This better be good news.
00:47:01 He said if we arrest him, he'd have
00:47:05 I got 50,000 barrels of cyanide
00:47:09 Where do you want me to put it?
00:47:11 You mean where
00:47:14 What the hell are you,
00:47:16 I made 16 million on this deal.
00:47:27 I own this state,
00:47:31 Doesn't he know the rules?
00:47:33 I'm the rules.
00:47:36 It's me.
00:47:39 That guy Taggert, in Jackson.
00:48:20 My children...
00:48:22 ...are all I got.
00:48:24 I didn't know you were trying
00:48:27 I thank you for that.
00:48:39 I'm sorry about before.
00:48:42 I know you had your reasons.
00:48:44 I have mine.
00:48:46 These are my daddy's maps.
00:48:48 I want to help.
00:52:31 Do you mind if I say a few words?
00:52:36 Thank you.
00:52:39 You know, the trouble
00:52:43 ...is that sometimes they don't care
00:52:48 These folks that are
00:52:53 ...toxic waste, petroleum byproducts
00:52:56 ...are making the profit. Why don't
00:53:01 But instead...
00:53:03 ...they pay some poor shit...
00:53:06 - Five dollars an hour to truck this
00:53:11 Why?
00:53:14 Because they think...
00:53:16 ...you all are ignorant...
00:53:19 ...barefoot...
00:53:20 ...poor, dumb hillbillies...
00:53:23 ...that don't have the money
00:53:27 To these people,
00:53:30 You mean nothing.
00:53:33 And if anyone out there thinks...
00:53:35 ...the $300 they gave you for a new
00:53:40 ...is worth selling out
00:53:42 ...and the future of your children...
00:53:45 ...please raise your hand.
00:53:56 I don't see no hands.
00:54:02 Think about this.
00:54:04 You know why I'm here.
00:54:06 Let's all come together
00:54:49 Can I have a word with you?
00:55:00 I know what's going on
00:55:04 That's the problem.
00:55:05 All these problems seem so big,
00:55:09 I wanted to keep the church.
00:55:13 I realize church can't help nobody
00:55:17 So I'm gonna make a change.
00:55:19 Right in here.
00:55:21 And by God, I swear, if you'll drag
00:55:25 ...I'll testify against
00:55:28 We might make a good team.
00:55:34 Let's go, boys.
00:55:42 There's your allowance.
00:55:44 I need to talk to you for a moment.
00:55:49 We didn't get Taggert.
00:56:02 Guy's a goddamn pit bull.
00:56:05 I have to divert our next shipment.
00:56:07 We can't risk it.
00:56:09 You're giving me a headache.
00:56:12 Don't divert anything.
00:56:14 It's time I see this guy.
00:56:17 Yes, sir, Daddy.
00:56:30 Jack!
00:56:45 Are you ready?
00:56:46 We are too. Now come on!
00:57:34 Where are those at?
00:57:38 Free round trip
00:57:41 My hometown
00:58:02 You play guitar?
00:58:17 - Is it all right if he plays?
00:58:22 There he goes.
00:58:28 Get up on a microphone there.
00:59:07 Hey, little lady!
00:59:11 - Since you're coming into town so much...
00:59:15 - Let's dance.
00:59:19 Don't you want to dance with me?
00:59:24 Normally, when a man insults a woman,
00:59:30 In this case...
00:59:31 ...it's not worth it.
00:59:36 Government-agent man come
00:59:41 Now that's worth it.
00:59:48 That hurts.
00:59:49 Really?
00:59:54 Turn him loose.
00:59:55 I said turn him loose.
01:00:03 I want you to apologize to the lady.
01:00:05 Quick, before you fall asleep.
01:00:07 I apologize, Miss Sarah.
01:00:20 You came this close
01:00:29 Mr. Hanner wants to see you.
01:00:31 That would be fine. Where is he?
01:00:37 Give me just a second, babe.
01:00:40 How you doing tonight?
01:00:42 What's going on?
01:00:45 Take care.
01:00:47 How's the proctologist?
01:00:49 Everybody, come on.
01:00:50 Gather back around. What do you say?
01:01:04 How did you do that thumb thing?
01:01:08 It's just a card trick.
01:01:11 I'll come straight to the point.
01:01:15 Excuse me?
01:01:17 I have a lot of money.
01:01:19 I'll give you some to go away.
01:01:22 Everyone has his price.
01:01:25 What's yours?
01:01:27 Let me think about that a minute.
01:01:29 How about...
01:01:31 ...the life of my friend?
01:01:34 Or how about if you took the poison
01:01:39 ...out of the water
01:01:42 If you could do any of those,
01:01:46 ...but I'd be impressed.
01:01:49 Think about my offer.
01:01:50 I already have.
01:01:53 You can't prove anything.
01:01:55 You won't find anything.
01:01:57 Life is short.
01:01:59 It is very short.
01:02:00 Do you want to spend
01:02:04 I feel alive up here.
01:02:06 I was thinking I might even
01:02:12 Kiss my ass.
01:02:29 This guy is trouble.
01:02:31 - That's what...
01:02:33 I want the mine sealed...
01:02:35 ...and I want Taggert buried inside it.
01:02:44 You know who to call.
01:02:47 How will I ever take over if you
01:02:51 You won't have to.
01:03:19 Your beau is quite a fellow.
01:03:24 He's trying to help us, Earl.
01:03:26 How's that?
01:03:30 We sure could use your help.
01:03:33 What do you mean?
01:03:36 You know which mines are used
01:03:42 Come on, help us out.
01:03:45 You can be a hero.
01:03:49 - I ain't no hero.
01:03:54 You can do the right thing.
01:03:57 I don't know.
01:04:01 We'll see.
01:04:05 I do love a good waltz, don't you?
01:04:46 There's a fire up there!
01:04:50 That's the church.
01:05:35 I know the bastards
01:05:38 I got to tell you,
01:05:41 I've even helped them dump their shit
01:05:45 Is Mr. Goodall in there?
01:05:47 - I don't know where he is.
01:05:51 I'll take you to the dumpsite.
01:05:54 You know Clearwater Road?
01:05:56 - Yes, sir.
01:05:58 ...in a half-hour.
01:06:01 No, sir. I don't want
01:06:07 They're putting a load in there tonight.
01:06:09 It's a dangerous place.
01:07:07 I'm proud of you, Earl.
01:07:12 Do you think I'm a damn fool idiot?
01:07:14 This guy's gonna sink us all.
01:07:16 He don't give a shit about
01:07:23 He's not like that.
01:07:27 Did you sleep with him?
01:07:30 What?
01:07:33 You whore.
01:07:46 When he's gone, things are
01:07:51 What are you talking about?
01:07:53 Before Daddy died.
01:07:56 I'm leaving. I'm leaving.
01:07:59 You'll just get robbed again...
01:08:01 ...have to call
01:08:04 Believe me, you will get robbed again.
01:08:40 Starting this stupid honeybee business
01:08:45 Think you're ready
01:08:47 You talk to any guy who looks at you.
01:08:51 ...and they can't have it.
01:08:59 It's too bad about the reverend.
01:09:02 He always did talk too much.
01:09:07 You need help, Earl.
01:09:11 I'm going to the police.
01:09:15 I'm going to tell them everything.
01:09:17 I'm going to tell them about you
01:09:20 I'm going to tell them about all of it!
01:09:24 I knew that guy was going to be
01:09:29 Touch me, I swear I'll kill you!
01:09:31 You better not miss,
01:09:35 I hate you!
01:09:42 I'm not going to jail.
01:09:44 Even if that means being an only child.
01:09:50 Where the hell you going?
01:09:58 Your friend's gonna have an accident.
01:10:05 What are you talking about?
01:10:07 Let me out of here!
01:10:31 Quarter mile in.
01:10:35 Somebody once asked my pa
01:10:38 ...and he said, "Just a quarter mile."
01:10:40 I'll bet that's about right.
01:10:43 What's the gun for?
01:10:44 Just in case.
01:10:46 Get in.
01:11:14 This here is the mother lode.
01:11:16 A lot of toxic waste down here.
01:11:19 I see it leaking all over the place.
01:11:23 I bet you this shit glows in the dark.
01:11:27 You don't want to drink it.
01:11:29 How'd you cut your hand?
01:11:34 Guess I cut myself on the gate.
01:11:36 I noticed that Sarah gets
01:11:40 What do you have to say about that?
01:11:42 She's nervous around most men.
01:11:46 She just never did get over that.
01:11:48 That right?
01:11:50 I think she never got over it
01:11:55 My theory is...
01:11:56 ...when she was a little girl,
01:12:00 Your daddy found out, went
01:12:04 ...and you killed him.
01:12:06 Then you said, "Little sister,
01:12:10 I'm an adult.
01:12:12 If they convict me and I go to prison,
01:12:15 If you take the rap for me,
01:12:18 They won't do nothing to you."
01:12:20 So you convinced her to do that.
01:12:22 And everybody in town...
01:12:24 ...is convinced that she's crazy
01:12:28 ...when really you did it,
01:12:33 Ain't you slicker than possum shit?
01:12:37 You got a sharp mind and a fast mouth.
01:12:39 Hey, Jimmy Joe.
01:12:41 Bobby T.
01:12:42 This is Mr. Taggert.
01:12:44 He's a government man with some agency.
01:12:49 ...the EPA? FDA?
01:12:50 FBI? I'm not sure.
01:12:53 Come down here to show us
01:12:57 These are my buddies.
01:12:59 They work down here.
01:13:03 ...because I'm not sure
01:13:05 ...what it means to be poor.
01:13:07 To have to put bread on the table.
01:13:10 I imagine your coat cost more
01:13:17 Damn thing is, Jack, I like you.
01:13:20 And my sister likes you too.
01:13:22 That's why I'm not gonna kill you.
01:13:25 Randall, you do it.
01:14:01 Kill that son of a bitch!
01:15:24 Give me that.
01:15:29 Can you hear this, Daddy?
01:17:15 You okay?
01:17:18 Earl's going to kill you.
01:17:25 You all right?
01:17:27 Earl was killed
01:17:30 We got to worry about Hanner.
01:17:38 That means it's gonna get
01:17:41 I'll see if I can put you
01:17:45 In the meantime, we'd better
01:17:53 - Chick Larsen.
01:17:55 We found the stuff.
01:17:56 How big is it?
01:17:58 It's the most I've seen in one spot.
01:18:01 ...so it's unstable.
01:18:05 ... I have a witness
01:18:07 How can I help?
01:18:09 Send a couple of agents from
01:18:12 See if we can escort her
01:18:15 Meet me on Highway 98.
01:18:18 The cavalry's on its way.
01:18:21 I'll make the call.
01:18:23 There they are.
01:18:51 Officer Adams. We've been briefed
01:18:56 Is this the wit?
01:18:58 This is her.
01:19:00 How will you find me?
01:19:02 He can get in touch with us anytime
01:19:06 These gentlemen will take
01:19:08 You go with them now.
01:19:11 Will you know where I am?
01:19:13 He'll know every step of the way.
01:19:16 I have a direct line through Chick.
01:19:22 Is that a quick-draw rig?
01:19:24 Yes, it is.
01:19:26 Odd for a federal agent, isn't it?
01:19:29 We're in the country here,
01:19:34 We'll be in touch.
01:19:50 Go!
01:20:01 Stop the car!
01:20:09 Stop the car!
01:20:20 Shut up, lady!
01:20:39 Come on!
01:20:48 Get away from that window, boy!
01:20:58 Everybody down!
01:21:01 Sit down! Shut up and act like
01:21:55 Stay down! Come on.
01:22:01 Let me get his attention.
01:22:20 Tell your boss I'm coming to get him.
01:22:28 On second thought, I'll tell him.
01:22:39 Holy shit!
01:22:46 Stick around.
01:22:54 You're a five-alarm fuckup.
01:22:57 - Want me to find someone else?
01:23:01 I can protect you.
01:23:03 I'll make sure any investigation
01:23:05 Then you oversee
01:23:09 Any problems, you're out.
01:23:11 No problem.
01:23:27 I'm going to head into town
01:23:30 Then I'll come back
01:23:34 Don't worry about a thing.
01:23:40 You're never gonna come back, are you?
01:23:46 Your fling with
01:23:51 You can tell me the truth.
01:23:56 No. I was going to go
01:24:00 ...come back here...
01:24:02 ...and get you.
01:24:06 You can count on it.
01:24:22 Please approach the bench.
01:24:24 Mr. Hanner,
01:24:27 ...4. 1 million barrels...
01:24:28 ... of toxic waste, 42 times...
01:24:30 ...in 13 different locations.
01:24:32 How do you plead?
01:24:33 Your Honor, he pleads guilty
01:24:36 ...and Citizens' Right to Know Act.
01:24:40 That's a $25,000 fine.
01:24:42 I'm fining you an additional 25,000
01:24:46 ... your company's
01:24:48 Next case.
01:24:52 That's what I love about this country.
01:24:54 I made 300 million last year,
01:24:57 Can I have a word with you?
01:25:01 The EPA's never been good
01:25:05 ...helping the environment. I got
01:25:10 So I can spend my every waking
01:25:15 We played this one by your rules.
01:25:17 Your court decided I was clean.
01:25:20 You're violating
01:25:23 Mr. Hanner, I promise you
01:25:27 ...I'm going to show you a new meaning
01:25:47 How you doing, Chick?
01:25:49 Didn't expect to see you here.
01:25:51 I know why you didn't
01:25:56 You set up Frank, didn't you?
01:25:59 What are you saying?
01:26:01 If it weren't for you,
01:26:05 You're under arrest.
01:26:09 - Anything you say will be...
01:26:12 I outrank you.
01:26:15 I was going to ask you that.
01:26:19 You're a piece of shit.
01:26:21 I'm ashamed of you.
01:26:47 Come and hold this bag.
01:26:49 Why? It ain't going nowhere.
01:26:51 Just heel, damn it.
01:26:56 Lean into it more, like this.
01:27:00 Here, boy.
01:27:06 What you afraid of?
01:27:09 Want to arrest me for 10 minutes too?
01:27:11 Come here, boy.
01:27:13 You come here.
01:27:14 Don't hide behind that big old pimple.
01:27:17 - You don't have shit on me.
01:27:21 But our current judicial system wouldn't
01:27:26 You really deserve to suffer.
01:27:28 And since I'm feeling selfish...
01:27:30 ...I've arranged for that to happen.
01:27:32 Leave my friend alone or I'll have to
01:27:37 ...out of somebody.
01:27:39 In fact, you must be
01:27:42 ...or you wouldn't be here.
01:27:44 He'll whip your ass
01:27:48 He's going to slap you
01:27:51 I've been all over Appalachia
01:27:54 I've never met any people like you.
01:27:58 You've hung out
01:28:01 We're educated.
01:28:02 Education can't buy common sense.
01:28:05 If your dad knew how stupid you were,
01:28:12 Go! Go!
01:28:17 Get him. Now!
01:28:23 My nose! My nose!
01:28:29 You got to have more than that, son.
01:28:43 Here, boy. Let's talk.
01:28:48 Now's the time for you
01:28:51 You want to talk to me now?
01:28:55 What do you want?
01:28:57 You have to talk to me.
01:28:59 You know the things
01:29:02 You have to turn state's evidence.
01:29:05 ...because it's the only way
01:29:08 ...or because it's the right thing.
01:29:11 I don't really give a shit,
01:29:17 Yes, sir.
01:30:07 Is there some sort of problem,
01:30:10 There's a problem for Orin Hanner.
01:30:14 I don't care if it's tablets from God.
01:30:18 I have a right to effect this arrest
01:30:22 You're obstructing justice.
01:30:24 Use of force will only add
01:30:30 Now you can sue me.
01:30:45 Thank you very much, everybody!
01:30:55 Some guys don't know when to quit.
01:30:57 - Who?
01:30:59 I got $1,000 says
01:31:03 I'll take that bet.
01:31:06 Can I help you?
01:31:08 I have a warrant for Hanner's arrest.
01:31:13 I let you in, I lose my job.
01:31:15 Better than losing your teeth.
01:31:19 Hold on, hold on.
01:31:21 John-boy is confused.
01:31:23 What he means is,
01:31:26 ...and shove it up your ass.
01:31:32 Sir, you're obstructing justice...
01:31:48 Open the door!
01:31:56 Howdy, Orin.
01:31:58 Hi, Jack.
01:32:04 Can I get you a drink?
01:32:05 I don't drink much.
01:32:08 Call me.
01:32:11 I haven't met you, but I'm sure
01:32:15 Good luck with
01:32:21 We're in a...
01:32:23 ...unique situation. I realize
01:32:27 I was kidding when I told you
01:32:31 These men are with the FBI.
01:32:33 They came to help me serve this warrant.
01:32:35 Your son provided us
01:32:38 ...to stack up a lot of years.
01:32:40 My son's a real disappointment to me.
01:32:43 We've got you on extortion,
01:32:47 ...murder and racketeering.
01:32:49 We're talking 30 years.
01:32:52 That's a long time
01:32:54 I knew you were gonna say that.
01:32:56 I have a dear friend named Tyrone
01:33:00 ...when you hit prison,
01:33:04 ...and teach you the most intimate
01:33:07 You'll be in good hands,
01:33:12 That takes care of the woman thing.
01:33:15 But you're talking to
01:33:18 That means
01:33:21 ...or wish to God I had.
01:33:23 Unless you live to be a very old man.
01:33:26 So I guess...
01:33:28 ...that makes killing you free.
01:33:30 It would be free if you could.
01:33:36 That's fast.
01:33:37 Hook him up.
01:33:39 I got him.
01:33:41 That's fast.
01:33:42 You're under arrest.
01:33:54 Agent down!
01:33:58 I'm still alive, asshole.
01:34:00 I know you're alive.
01:34:02 That could be because I'm a bad shot.
01:34:05 Or that I'm a good shot...
01:34:07 ...and just wanted you to meet Tyrone.
01:34:11 Fuck you, Jack.
01:34:14 See you around, buddy.
01:35:05 Hi.
