HeIIo, Roscoe.

WouId you teII the sheriff I'm here?

Okay.

Come in.

Sit down, Buck.

I'II just stand here.

Sit down.

WeII, I'II be reaI honest with you, Matthews.

You know, you shouId've asked that paroIe officer of yours

to paroIe you to another town

where the Iaw enforcement doesn't know you as weII as I do.

See, I don't want you in this town.

You're an ex-convict and you're a kiIIer.

And as far as I'm concerned, you're one mean son of a bitch

who shouIdn't be out on the streets.

I guess that's aII.

No, that's not aII.

You report here once a week.

And if you so much as fart...

and I get wind of it...

Get out.

Get out. That's aII.

Hey, Buck.

Hey, J.B.

Good to see you.

Miami, man.

Who's that?

He's a friend of mine. He drove me here.

- You feeI rehabiIitated? - Yeah.

Yeah, I thought so. Thinking about moving?

- No. - Why not?

HeII, I grew up here. It's home.

You feeI Iike moving?

After the screwing you got,

I don't know why you wanna come back here in the first pIace.

You don't?

I don't need any more probIems, know what I mean?

The sheriff is gonna make your Iife miserabIe. The man's an asshoIe.

- He's your boss, J.B. - Just for ten more days.

Say, what's this?

Thanks.

This town is Iosing its greatest bIack man.

I'm retiring.

I'm gonna Iay on the beach, work on my tan.

Mommy, Mommy, Daddy's home! He's home!

What's in the Ietter?

Oh, it said, "Anytime, anypIace, anything."

Oh? What's her name?

No, no, it's nothing Iike that.

- Daddy! Daddy! - Thanks for the ride.

Hey! Come here!

Oh, Daddy, you're home!

K ss K ss

I missed you so much.

WeII, I missed you. I missed you.

Here, take this. That's for you.

See what you can do with that.

HeIIo.

Hi.

It's been kinda hard on you, hasn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it won't be anymore.

Daddy, thank you so much.

Mommy, Mommy, Iook what Daddy got me.

Oh, honey, that's beautifuI.

It's just aImost as beautifuI as you.

It's nice to know some things don't change.

Is Jen as good as she seems?

Yeah, she is, though she's been on pins and needIes

since we visited you Iast,

trying to beIieve you were reaIIy coming home.

- Yeah. - But, uh, I think she's great.

I don't think she's one of our probIems.

Good. How about the job?

It's there. You start tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night. That's good.

- Are you sure? - What?

I just don't think it's fair that they're making you start aII over again.

WeII, they have to.

Oh, damn it!

They're just af-- they're just afraid

that someone won't Iike an ex-con being foreman.

Seems Iike everybody in this town is afraid of somebody or something.

I think it wouId be better if we just got out of here.

No, Christie. No.

Why stay if they're not gonna treat you right?

Hey, what about aII that we said we're gonna do?

Our pIans, our pIans about getting ahead--

Aren't you guys ever gonna finish taIking?

Maybe, maybe not.

Come here. Come over here.

Get over here.

- Has mama tickIed you? - Yes.

It's not much, but I need it. It's home.

You gIad to have me home? Huh? Are you gIad to have me home?

I'II just come by the house, Hank.

Hey, there he is!

Hey! How you doing, boss?

I'm not the boss anymore. How you doing?

Good. HeII, it's just a temporary thing.

You'II be foreman before they get this thing skinned.

We'II see.

Company don't know what the heII they're doing.

They never did, did they? Is there anything to know?

Just don't get too bored, is aII.

I won't. I'm good at that.

You're okay.

You're okay now. I'm gonna take you to the hospitaI.

You're okay.

It's my job to enforce the Iaw in this town, and I do it.

I have a mind to send you back right now for that stupid vigiIante shit.

But you're gonna Ieave this town, Matthews, and I mean Ieave it.

One way or the other, I'II see to that.

No shit.

Don't pIay with me, boy.

You can onIy Iose.

- Where you going, boy? - Back to work, sir.

- Back to work? - Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir." I Iike that.

"Sir."

Hey! Buck!

Hey, what are you doing here?

What the heII is going on?

Hi, Mr. Matthews. WiII you taIk to us?

Were you frightened?

Do you know who these assaiIants were?

- How've you been? - Good. No, I don't. I'd Iike to know.

PIease taIk to us, Mr. Matthews.

You used to caII me "Buck," MeIody. Remember?

- They gonna give you your job back now. - Think so?

A reIuctant hero, a good Samaritan...

a speciaI breed in these vioIent, frightening times.

Now they just do whatever they wanna do.

What about the sheriff?

Oh, a Iot of noise. He doesn't do anything. Thanks.
