[dramatic music]
- [Man] Stay out of my goddamn trash!
- [Blaze] Get in.
[slow music]
- Come on.
All right, stop.
- Throw it on the scale. - I'll be there
about six o'clock if you wanna bring the cars over.
I won't have time to break them down for parts today, okay.
I'll pull them
- to the weigh station - There you go.
and I'll have one of my boys come out.
And I'll talk to you soon.
- There you go. - Thanks man.
Is that it?
- [Hark] Yeah, that's the new price.
- Fuck, man, we brought in more than this last week, Hark.
- Okay, well, you can take your cans
and you can go to another junk yard.
- [Blaze] My sister and me are behind on the rent.
- Well, then start bringing in more pop cans.
- All right, thanks.
[Hark chuckles]
- [President Trump On radio] We're going to bring jobs
to Ohio.
It can be summed up in three very beautiful words,
jobs, jobs, jobs.
- [Woman On intercom] Maintenance to line four
for repairs, maintenance to line four.

[Linda laughs]
- Well, oh, hey. - Hey there.
- How goes, Linda? - Oh you know
- Morning. - Making the money, honey.
Hey, stop by my house later, I put the old washer on the porch,
it should be worth something.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Here eat this, eat this and you got your thermos, right.
- I'll eat the pretzels.
- Hey beautiful. - My feet are killing me.
- You sell a lot this morning? - Yeah, a little bit.
- Hey Tonya, my smokes. - You said I could have one.
- Yeah, one, not chow down on my menthols
like a goddamn snack pack.
Can you believe this girl.
Shit.
- I heard Phil talking to management the other day.
- Oh don't go getting rumor mill started, Levi.
- Seems like this overseas company's buying up.
- You did not hear that.
- Last thing I need to do is go in front of a judge
and have to explain why I can't pay my child support.
- [Linda] Yeah, well stop having so many goddamn kids then.
- [Levi] Oh hell, Linda, they can bury me with this place.
- [Linda] You will be buried in this place.
- What? - Nothing.
Blaze, I'm gonna be late.
- Okay.
- [Linda] Your brother take his test to work here yet?
- He's studying for it.
- I miss having your mom around here.
I got them to keep her at the county jail
until she agrees to rehab.
- Thank you. - Uh-huh.
- You oughta think about putting an application in here.
- Don't listen to him.
- Have you always been a grumpy bitch, Linda?
- Yeah, you bring out in me, Levi,
just like my second husband.
[siren blares]
Hey, tell Rhonda that everybody here is rooting for her.
- Thank you, Linda. - Okay.
- Thanks, Linda. - Bye, baby.
- See you around, let's go. - You guys be good.
- Yep. - Dude, she's nasty.
- No, she's not, don't start, Ruth, seriously.
- [Tonya] What the fuck did you just say about me?
- She's fucked everyone on third shift
that's why she's back on third.
- [Tonya] You think you're better than me?
- You blew a cop for a set of acrylics.
- [Blaze] Hey, Ruth, come on, hey go.
-Well, you think
you're better than me, why don't you come here and say that to my face?
- I'll call you.
- Goddamn it, Ruth. - Fucking bitch.
- Anything? What?
- It looks like a paternity test.
- [Blaze] What, what test?
- It's got your name on it.
- Let me see.
- The mail is not here yet, it's old,
- you gotta wrap it up, bro. - All right, thanks, smart-ass.
- Hey, Crystal.
- I really need that take home test.
- I know, I got you, I'm gonna go inside.
Hey, Bella.
- I'll just swing by later and get it then.
- Okay, see you. - All right, bye.
[slow music]
[water boiling]
[girl knocks]
- Hey. - Hey.
- [indistinct] up. - Here's that.
- Thank you.
- Hi, Bella, hi.
[baby coos]
[baby cries]
- This is some smart shit.
- How many credits do you have left?
- Just this one class and then the high school
mails the diploma but like I really need algebra
to work line four.
- No, no, I don't need any money.
- No, it's from Mom's purse, seriously, here take it.
- Thank you.
- I miss you at school. - Yeah, yeah.
[baby coos]
- See you next week. - See you next week.
- Pleasure doing business. - Later.
[slow music]
[school bell rings]
- Show me the bag. - Why?
- Open the bag, Ruth. - Don't touch my bag!
- Get off me! - Miss Avery!
- [Man] And she stole one last week too.
- [Ruth] You won't let me check them out.
- Because you have bad attendance.
Six times she's been to the resource officer this year.
- If I was one of your football players,
we wouldn't have this conversation.
It's because I'm an Avery.
- Ruth, we believe you could be anything you want.
- Well, I don't wanna be in this room anymore,
so can I be that?
- Hands on the wall.
- You don't have permission to put me in here,
you have to have permission.
What am I supposed to do?
[slow music]
- [Police woman] Come on out,
Mom will be thrilled you're on time today.
- You gave them permission? - Yep.
- Come on back.
- Hi, you look tired.
- I feel tired, I've been working all day.
- You look it.
What, I don't get nothing?
- You seeing anyone? - No, just talking.
- Just talking. - Hmm-mm.
- Hmm-mm, you better be just talking.
I don't want you to go knocking up a factory girl
and making a grandma out of me while I'm in this place.
- You can always go to the clinic.
- I wanna be in my own bed.
- Rehabs are all full right now, Mom,
you know, you just gotta stay positive, that's all.
- I'm positive, I'm a positive person, are you positive?
- Yeah, I'm positive, yeah.
Linda says hi, she was saying that there's a clinic
down in Florida that you should check out.
I mean, you might as well just look at it, Mom,
it's better than county jail, right?
- They found a head about 10 miles from here last week,
a human head, okay, go find that guy,
put that person in jail,
I'm in here trying to get clean
and everybody thinks I'm a criminal,
- Mom. - and now even my own son
is trying to send me away.
- [Blaze] Nobody thinks you're a criminal.
- If I'm in here they do.
Not half a head, a whole head.
I heard the lesbian talking about it last week.
- Not a lesbian. - You look it.
- Mom, stop.
- You're awfully quiet. - I've got nothing to say.
- I was thinking that when I get out of here
that I would come back and stay with you two.
- [Blaze] We'll see, yeah.
- Well, I'll be out in 30 days and I'm clean now so.
- Mom. - You should test my piss.
- Mom. - Test my piss.
Make the lesbian get a cup, I'll pee in it.
- Mom.
- [Blaze] Listen, you can either go to Florida
or you can stay with Linda at the end of 30 days, all right,
and that's what we gotta do, okay?
- No, I supposed we don't have to decide anything right now.
- I love you, Mom. - I love you too.
- What is this? - Let me see.
- Oh my god. - What is it?
- Oh my god.
- Where is the school? - Hey.
- Oh my god. - What?
- Oh my fucking god.
- Get off me! - You just got into college.
- I didn't apply to college.
- Oh, what the hell's your problem?
- You going through my shit, that is my problem.
- What, you don't wanna go,
you're living it up big here, huh?
Why'd you fill out the whole application
if you didn't wanna go, why'd you fill out the whole essay
and everything?
- It wasn't yours to turn in, Blaze.
- Are you kidding me? - Hey, hey,
- keep it down over there! - Hey, but Vick,
Ruthie just got into college.
- Well, good for her! - That is so embarrassing.
- Keep your fucking voices down!
- Why did you fill it out, if you didn't wanna go?
- There's nothing I can learn in school
that I can't learn here.
- You can have a life there.
- I have a life here with you.
- What life are you talking about?
- I'm watching you!
- Vicki, if you got into college,
would you be living here?
- Shut the hell up!
- Jesus Christ, Vicki, you can have your full conversation
in the house.
- You don't have to, - I'm on the phone,
you can have it inside, mind your own business!
you don't have to stand out on the goddamn porch!
Jesus Christ, Vicki, all right, have a great evening.
Ruth, hey.
- Water's still off.
- Yeah, 'cause I shelled out $75 bucks for this application,
that's some life here, huh?
I had to call the school
and beg them to take this thing late.
You should have heard me over the phone.
Don't blame Ruth for her stupid brother.
- If I wanted to turn it in, I would have turned it in,
mind your own business.
- You are my, legally, you are my business, Ruth.
Goddamn it.
[slow music]
Get in.
- You can't get gas money out of [indistinct].
- Ruth, you got in, you're going.
- We can't afford it.
What are you doing?
Really in broad daylight?
- Be more than gas money, right?
- Hey!
Are you planning on selling me my own scrap?
- Yeah, so. - Yeah, so.
- You're not paying us enough. - Ruth.
- We got no water, it's not enough.
- That sounds like you're calling me cheap.
- Yeah.
- You two follow me.
So how much you looking to make?
- More than $50. - I like her.
- You know I get a few construction gigs here and there
- but no one's hiring. - I need extra scrap
but it's not raccoon's, okay.
Yeah, we're more than cans and bottles, sweetheart,
you gotta, have you looked around this town?
Manufacturing is drying up left and right,
leaving behind old dozers that's rotting away.
We scrap the metal and we sell it to China
straight from the yard.
I'm talking modern day gold bonds.
Seven grand a month between the two of you.
- Sounds illegal.
- Well, you didn't have a problem with that a minute ago,
did you?
- We'll think about it.
[slow music]
- All right, drop, like I told you, good job.
Come on back now.
- Hey, what are you doing here?
- Hark brought us on, is he around?
- You too, sweetheart?
- I'm here to work.
- He's inside. - All right.
- Oh, hey. - Hey.
- You made it. - Yeah.
- Nice place. - Got a little something for you.
- Hey, cheers.
- Cheers. - Thanks, man.
- That's- - This all you?
- Yeah, this is all me, that's Willie.
- Willie!
Come on, come on.
Ah, there we go, come on.
Good boy, come on.
- Holy hell, that's pretty nice.
- This is it.
- Yeah, my house is your house. - All right.
Why don't you follow me back here.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Willie, sit. - Here you go.
- Will he get sick? - He misses every now and then.
- No, he doesn't, he's there we go, good boy.
This is my crossbow too.
- Oh yeah, get out of here. - Oh yeah, feel it.
- Oh, shit. - Heavy huh?
- [Blaze] Oh you can do some serious damage with this.
- Yeah, I'll teach you how to use it
- one of these days. - Yeah, all right.
- [Pudge] Yeah, he said the same thing to me.
- [Blaze] That's killer, man, you play a lot of games?
- [Hark] I do, yeah.
[Hark laughs]
- Well, this is where it happens, where we hang out.
You guys like it?
- It's perfect, man.
[Hark laughs]
- Come check this out. - All right.
- So, yeah, this is it. - Yeah.
- And, oh, you know what tomorrow I got a buyer coming down
first thing in the morning, so if you guys want to come and work or...
- Yeah, of course, yeah, thanks, man.
- I get another beer.
- Yeah, cheers. - Yeah, enjoy.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
- [Hark] All right.
- Think Hark could let Tonya come over?
- Bang your skanky girlfriend somewhere else.
[Blaze laughs]
- We just need the room for like, I don't know, two hours.
- 30 minutes. - You jealous?
- Oh, you caught me.
- Actually, you better not be bringing anyone over here.
- Trust me, talking to the guys around here
is all the birth control I need.
- Good 'cause I'd kill them.
All right, man, looking nice, oh.
I'm thinking about opening a bank account for the money,
what do you think?
- Whatever you want, Blaze.
- All right, an hour, just an hour, that's all I need.
[Blaze hums]
- [Hark] So, what do you know about
what you're bringing in?
- [Blaze] We get paid for it, that's about it.
- [Hark] Yeah, okay.
You need to know a little more than that.
- [Blaze] All right.
- [Hark] Those overseas buyers always want copper.
Best kind is electrical wires,
if you're lucky enough to find it.
Look over here we got iron and aluminum.
- They look the same.
- Feel that.
Here feel that.
Which one's heavier?
- This one. - Okay, iron.
So, iron's heavier than aluminum, all right?
This, this is brass, okay.
How do you know it's brass, it's got yellow in it.
- Okay.
- This, [chuckles] this is the good shit.
People Jones for this.
Copper equals money, okay.
Feels good, huh?
- So, how long these guys been working for you?
- Well, Pudge came in after Tigerboy.
- Yeah. - I mean,
Tigerboy, they're scrapping just like you.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
This is the bailer, it's the heart of the yard right here.
- Okay. - And as long
as this thing's running, we're in business.
- All right.
- [Man] Hark, get your scrawny ass over here!
- Why don't you get her working on the stainless steel
and I'll take you to the way station
when the buyer comes in.
You're in good hands.
- All right, so this is really simple, actually,
let me see your hands.
You're gonna take your right one and you're gonna put it
on this grip and with your left one,
you're gonna have your thumb over the top
and all your other fingers on the bottom.
So, like this.
And you're gonna feel a little lever down there,
you wanna press that little lever down
and then you wanna squeeze and that should turn it on.
Yep, just like that.
[machinery running]
- Hey, Hey!
Don't touch the bailer.
- So, what can I do for you, Lee?
- I need some copper, Hark, some steel
and you got any red brass?
- Copper's low, it's been low all year.
- Okay, I see you got some new help around here.
- Business is booming, you know, what can I say?
- Nice, nice, all right, well then in that case
I need 1,000 pounds of steel.
- 60 cents. - All right
and 700 pounds of number one wire.
- Three dollars. - Three, I can get it
for two bucks down the road, come on.
- Okay, I'm gonna tell you $2.50
and you're gonna say okay.
You know why, because unlike the guys down the road,
I don't mix number ones and number twos.
- I'll give you $2.25. - $2.50, Lee,
or you can tell your boss from China
that my good buddies from Hong Kong
are gonna get the last bit of copper.
They're coming by here soon too, so.
- [Lee] Fine, but I want more copper next month.
- [Hark] Good, that's why you're my favorite buyer.
- [Lee] Yeah.
- [Hark] Okay, load them up!
- Here, add this to the list.
- [Hark] Price for $2.50 is a good deal, trust me.
No, she's good-
- Total's wrong, you forgot to carry the one.
You're off $5,000.
- Blaze, why don't you take Lee outside for a second.
I'll be out there in a second.
- [Lee] All right.
- Why don't you fix it.
That's good work.
[slow music]
[Ruth sighs]
So, what did you think?
- Man, it's something.
- [Hark] Yeah, yeah.
- Hey, how did you get to running your own business anyway?
- Well, I was in the Marines for a few years
and I came back and it was kind of hard to find a job.
- Right.
- So, I went down to Mexico
and that's where all the jobs are going.
So, I'm down there, get a call saying hey, we got a position
for you, $8.50 an hour making cabinets.
Come back here, then those jobs go overseas.
Then I joined up with a scrap crew,
see how much they're raking in
and I learned the business real quick.
I broke off, decided to hire my own people.
- You didn't go to college.
[Hark laughs]
- No.
- I mean, probably thought
of doing something else though, right?
I mean, like lawyer or music or police or something.
- What, be a broke musician?
Let me tell you something, hey let me tell you something,
listen to this, the police when my buyers come into town,
they take them out to dinner.
- I don't know, it just sounds nice to get out
and see how the rest of the world works is all.
- You get a front row seat to how the world works,
I don't need no professor of sociology quizzing me
on life below the poverty line.
- Well, maybe if I'd gone to college,
I wouldn't live below the poverty line.
- Look, what I do, it's not glamorous,
there's not some kid going,
hey, I wanna own a scrap metal yard when I get older,
it's fucking hard work.
And you know, if you work hard
then maybe one day you can own a house like me,
you know, you too.
- [Blaze] No, she's too smart for that.
- No, she's smarter here, trust me.
- What does that mean?
- It means here at least you can see the top.
- [Man] Yo, Hark get in here, it's your turn.
- Look, why don't you guys get yourself a beer
and come out and play some games.
- All right.
- Get up.
[Blaze] There's still conduit all over the place
and there's copper in that conduit.
Move fast, follow the wires.
Look out for other scrappers.
[dramatic music]
- Stay with me.
[ominous music]
- Hark, get the steel doors.
Here, let's take a look around.
- Well, what are we supposed to do?
- [laughs] I'm sure you'll figure it out.
- Let's figure it out.
- [Hark] Help me with these.
- Ruth, over here.
Get the grinder.
- Are you gonna cut it? - Yeah, start here,
- stop right there. - Here?
- Yeah.
[machinery running]
Careful.
All right, I'm gonna run this back to the truck,
- are you good here? - Yeah.
- Stay here? - Yes.
- Is that it? - Yep.
- [Blaze] All right.
[dramatic music]
[ceiling crashing]
- Wow.
I told you there were more than cans and bottles.
[dramatic music]
- [Woman On Radio] I didn't even know what an engineer was.
All I knew is that I was curiou
and math and problem solving were fun for me.
By the time I arrived at college I learned
that it was the engineers who had those same skills
and were solving things, important things
like global warming and medical breakthroughs.
But I was the only girl in the class
and that's when I learned that it's hard to-
- [Hark] You're up early.
- I made coffee.
- What are you working on?
- There's this paper for school.
- Seems like a waste of time.
- It better not be, it's already late.
- You know, business is about people,
can't learn people in books.
- Thanks for the advice.
- So, let me get this straight,
you're saving up all this money
just to spend it on a place
that's gonna throw more books at you?
[Hark chuckles]
- So, you already know everything, huh?
- Thanks for the coffee.
[bell rings]
- [Teacher] Have a nice break, I will see you
in the new year.
Everybody enjoy and be safe out there.
Finals were due last week.
- Can you at least read it, I need this to graduate?
- You should have thought about that last week.
- I have to work to earn money to get into the college
that I wanna go to. - Sit down, Ruth,
have a seat.
Ruth, the reality of student loan debt
for someone like you is crushing.
I know this is disappointing to hear
and I don't want you to get your hopes up
but when there's a good IT program in the area
and I know the person in charge of recruiting
in apprenticeship program, I'd be glad to make a phone call
for you.
- What if I don't wanna work in IT?
- I just think it's more practical for someone,
a young lady in your situation.
- What's with you? - I graduated.
- Yeah?
[R&B music]
- All right, we're at this factory
and we're gutting this fucking thing, all right.
I mean, copper, tons of copper, right?
- The sun's going down. - Hark, do they really need
- to hear this story. - Pudge, yes,
now shut up, okay.
Let me start over, we're scrapping this factory
- at Jonesboro. - Uh-huh.
- And the sun's coming down, we're fighting the elements
at this point.
I'm in my truck, I'm smoking a cigarette
and all of a sudden I see Tigerboy in the third level
peeking out the window like Santa Clause,
like he's got a bag over him but with copper in it.
Boom, he jumps out, he hits Pudge, Pudge is on the floor
at this point. - Oh.
- Right and I'm going, holy shit, cigarette's down,
I go over there I'm so worried, right?
I don't know if cops are gonna come,
I don't know what's gonna happen.
- Uh-huh.
- And I start walking over there
and about maybe two or three feet before I get there,
- I smell this, - Hark, stop.
I can almost taste this.
That's not the meat in this town, right?
[Blaze laughs]
- Oh no, man. - He shit his pants!
- Oh, no.
- You guys.
- I mean, it's a good story.
- It's kind of a mean story,
- I love it. it's kinda mean.
- It's funny, I will remember that for the rest
of my life.
- [Blaze] Oh, hey beautiful.
- How you doing? Hey!
- Hey. - You all
- ready to get into trouble? - Yes.
- [Blaze] You ready to go?
I'm ready baby, come on.
- I'm gonna go rollerblade.
- I'll go if you go.
- I'm really good.
[Hark laughs]
- Do you want to?
Do you wanna go, I'm horrible, I'm bad.
[Hark laughs] [Ruth laughs]
- You wanna go skate?
- Let's go.
- Yep.

Got an electric saw then this sheet metal factory.
[Man] You got anymore?

Sorry.
A little paper cut. [laughs]

[rain pours]
[chain clinking]
- Start in the corner.
- Okay.
- Hey, Pudge. - What's up?
- Someone's tools are here.
[loud clammer]
- What's that? - Another crew's here.

- [Man] Frank, come on!
Hey, hey, don't- [gun fires]
Shit.

- Ruth, Ruth, you okay?
Fuck, fuck, he's bleeding out, man, shit.
All right get him locked around his legs.
- [Ruth] What are you doing, you can't move him?
- Come on. - You can't move him,
you have to call somebody.
- We're not calling anyone, all right!
- You have to call somebody, he needs an ambulance.
- No, we're putting him in the truck.
Come on.
Ruth. - Stop, moving,

- Someone just shot him, Hark, somebody shot him.
- He's not breathing, man.
- Why are you putting him in here?
Why are you putting him in here,

- Hey, come on, come on, - Get off me!
come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
- Get off!
- Come on. - Hark, Hark!
[engine revs]
- I took him to the hospital, he didn't make it.
- What about the police?
- The police asks questions so.
- Yeah, like who shot him, why you didn't call him?
- Look, Ruth, look, you wanna get the police involved
around here, if that what you wanna do,
you can kiss your paycheck goodbye.
- I thought you and the police were really tight?
- Ruth, stop, enough.
- No, you know what, no, no, go ahead, go ahead call them.
Okay.
[Hark laughs]
Yeah, you stay in the town 'cause you're scared,
scared to call them, scared to leave.
- You stay here 'cause you're weak.
- What the fuck did you say? - She didn't mean it, man.
- Yeah, I did mean it. - Yeah, okay, you wanna repeat that again?
- You stay here because you're weak. - Get out, get the fuck out!
- All right, all right.
- Get out, no get off my property!
Did I stutter, I said get out.
- Let me talk to her, hey Ruth, hey.
- Rather worth lying for and then die over scrap.
- We can't leave, Ruth, we don't have enough.
Do you understand?
If we leave now, then all of this was for nothing.
- It could have been you.
- I'm not leaving.
If you wanna go, you can go, I'm not leaving,
'cause there ain't nothing else out there for me.
[Ruth cries]
I'm really sick of being the only one
who gives a shit about you, Ruth.
- Hey.
- Can I stay with you for awhile?
[ax hammers]
- Okay.
Yeah, that'll take longer.
Good, good job.
[Blaze knocks]
- I'm sorry, all right.
- [Announcer] [indistinct] break room three, please report
any remaining employees will clear the floor immediately.
- You've known me for how long now,
just let me in for five minutes.
- Linda, what's going on?
- They closed us down.
- Jesus, already?
- They wouldn't even let me get the stuff out of my locker.
Sorry, honey.
- Wait, you're leaving?
- Yeah, I've seen about enough.
Asshole.
All right, everybody call me, let me know how you're doing.
[woman cries]
Write if you get work, right.
Sorry, sorry baby.
Sorry guys.
- [Announcer] All remaining employees
must clear the floor immediately.
- Blaze!
Don't stay there with him.
- I'm not quitting, we've got enough deadbeats
in this family.
- Come on back guys.
- [Blaze] How are you?
- This is a surprise.
- The plant closed.
- When today? - Today, now it's gone.
- Oh, crooks, all of them.
They did the same thing to me.
- Mom.
- Well, you'll find something else
and Ruth will pick up somewhere else.
- She's going to school, Mom.
- She already goes to school. - She's going to college.
- We're not college people. - Why not?
You get into a smart school and you ask a stupid question
like why not.
- I'm not asking you for money, so I'm not asking you
for your opinion anyway.
- Well how do you expect me to pay them, in cigarettes, 'cause I can't
- I wouldn't expect
get it in here either. you to pay.
- Shut up, please, please, shut up, please, both of you.
[Blaze groans]
- Well, I hope Linda's holding up,
I know how demoralizing those layoffs can be.
- You weren't laid off you were fired
because you showed up high everyday.
- I got laid off. - Ruth, go sit in my truck.
- Go, right now! - You go along with whatever
- narrative you want - Go right now!
- Go, please go, Mom. - but it's all a lie.
- So, you're gonna leave just like that? - Mom.
- No, no, no, how could you leave
after everything that your brother has done for you?
- Please go, go.
Oh, man, I have no idea what I'm doing.
[slow music]
[engine starts]
[slow music]
You shouldn't be here.
- He's making you work late.
- Overtime.
- There's a training program in town.
We can do that together
or we can ride there together everyday.
- I'm not smart like you, okay?
I mean, I didn't finish my senior year
'cause somebody had to take care of you
and now I'm here and I don't know.
Why don't you leave, Ruth, just take my keys and go?
- I don't leave because I don't wanna leave you.
- [President Trump] We want every child in America to have the opportunity
to climb the ladder to success.
'Cause we can never lose sight of the connection-
- There's a prison guard position over in Mansfield.
Where the hell is Mansfield?
- Don't you have a pension? - Well, sure I do.
- Then retire. - I wanna work.
- [Ruth] What do you know about the other scrap crews?
- I don't.
- Well do you know where I can find them?
- No, Hark is bad enough,
a girl like you doesn't need
to be running around with them men.
I mean, you know, I'm not slow, honey,
I know what you've been doing.
- I can't scrap it by myself.
- All right, listen to me, Blaze has his hands full
with your mom, he doesn't-
- My mom is a junkie, that was her choice,
it was not gonna be mine.
- It's not a choice.
When your mom hurt her hand on the job,
she couldn't find work anywhere else.
She was a hard worker.
That damn doctor kept prescribing her pain pills.
- You gonna help me scrap it or not?
[dramatic music]
[machinery running]
[ominous music]
[machinery running]
- Ha.
[Linda chuckles]
Yes.
[dramatic music]
[metal clanking]
Yeah.
- Hey, why weren't you at work today!
- Hey, man, I don't want any trouble, all right,
I'm just checking on my sister.
- Oh, you don't want any trouble?
You know Lee called me and told me
that your sister is selling him sheet metal.
Did you know that?
- I don't know anything about that, all right.
I don't want any trouble.
- No, I know, I know, you already fucking said that,
so I'm gonna ask again where is she?
- It's just me, man.
When I find her, I'll let you know.
- Don't you fucking walk away from me.
I'm gonna ask you again, where is your sister?
- I literally just got here, Hark, all right?
- Okay, did you know someone came into my office?
Did you know that?
- I wasn't in your fucking office, man.
- You know, I bring you guys on, I bring you money.
- Someone died on your watch, Hark,
it could have been any one of us.
Okay, I'm done, okay, that's everything I made
in the last two weeks.
- Get that out of my face,
don't fucking put that in my face.
- I'm fucking done man. - [Hark punches Blaze]
[Blaze grunts]
[ominous music]
- You can do this, come on.
Right to the sofa, come on, baby.
Oh shit, all right, all right, careful, careful, careful.
- Let me get a towel. - Let me lift your legs.
Shit.
- Go get me some washcloths.
Hurry, sweetie.
[Ruth cries]
Breath, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
You got it, you got it.
- I got them.
- Keep cleaning him up. - Okay.
- [Linda] I need to report an assault.
Yeah, it's my best friend's son
I found him in the back alley, beat up pretty bad.
Okay, okay, I'll meet you at the hospital.
[ominous music]
[metal crashes]
[dramatic music]
[machinery runs]
[metal crashes]
[slow music]
The police say they don't know who did it
but I know who did it, so they must know who did it,
it's such bullshit, right.
But I will come back tomorrow, okay?
- Thank you pal. - Sure, bye.
- Hey, huh? - How dare you.
- All right, Rhonda, you don't need
to talk to her like that.
- Linda, this is a family matter.
- Yeah, and I'm about the only family you got left
so shut up.
If you can't find it in you to be decent
to your daughter right now,
I'm not gonna come visit you anymore.
Bye.
- Thanks for the picture.
They won't let me visit him.
- Mom.
I know, I know.
[slow music]
You're really not gonna go back inside and see her?
- Make her sweat it out a little.
- You need a ride? - No, I'm good.
Thanks, Linda.
- Bye baby.
[slow music]
- [Tonya] You know what we're gonna call it?
- What's that? - Tom-Tom.
- You like that? - Yeah, where'd you come up with that?
- Oh, yeah, very funny.
Blue looks darker than normal blue.
- Hey. - Hey.
- I'm gonna. - Yeah.
- How do I look? - Really scary.
- Yeah.
Mom called, she said you stopped by.
- For a little bit.
- Come here.
An apartment next to Tonya opened up,
I told her we'll check it out next week.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- That's good.
- You want applesauce? - You want me to feed you?
I wanna feed you.
[Blaze chuckles]
- That's too much.
- No, it's not. - Yes it is.
- Gotta get your strength up, hmm.
- Hmm. [chuckles]
