02x05 - A Surprising Visit

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Too Close to Home"...

Your mother called.

She all right?

You're gonna have to get that place cleaned up.

Octavia: Regina's been going out and I'm not gonna have her hurt my big brother.

It's Octavia!

Your zipper is down.

Sorry.

You know Jolene.

I know you have a background in therapy.

That was another life.

He r*ped you?

All of us.

How about this? You stay there for me and I will continue on this end.

You're up to something.

Well, I'm always up to something.

Eli Pace is out of jail.

If you don't handle it, that son of a bitch is gonna disappear.

[Laughing]

Pass that. You all up in my face.

Trying to get you high.

I'm burning myself.

[Sniffs]

Damn it.

[Vehicle approaches]

Hi!

Who is she talking to?

To you.

Hi.

You don't never say nothing to me.

Yes, I do.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Frankie. I live here.

Are you her brother?

Yes.

So you're married to Regina?

Yes.

Yeah. Um, so what's your name?

I'm Nelson.

That's right!

What the hell do you want?!

Tavia?

What?

'Cause she don't never say nothing to me.

What do you want?

Him? Mnh-mnh. No. He's married, okay?

Tavia?

What?!

Come on.

It... it's not like that at all.

I was just about to run to the store and my...

My car wouldn't start, so I was wondering if maybe you could take a look at it or...?

He ain't no mechanic.

Yeah, I could take a look at it.

He's here to see his wife.

Look, it'll only take a second.

As I said, he's married.

I know.

Man, come on, Nelson.

I mean, what if Regina looks out the window and sees you?

She won't. Just please, could you take a look at it?

Nelson?

It's probably nothing.

I'll look at it.

Ain't nothing wrong with her car.

I'm telling you right now!

Shh!

Mmm.

Well, why don't you come to...

What?

Damn!

What?

♪ Too Close to Home ♪

It's... it's this one right here.

So what's wrong with it?

And Nelson.

He's here?!

Yes!

What is this bitch doing?

Try it.

Okay.

Oh, I'm gonna whup her ass!

You wait, you...

Shh! Shh! Shh!

You wait!

[Engine sputtering]

I don't know.

Everything looks good.

Has it been doing this?

No, it just started.

Can we just go home already?

Look, it just started.

Maybe, do you guys know a mechanic?

Yeah. Elm. And you know this.

He works on cars out here all the time.

Oh, yeah. Where is he?

You know he live right there.

Girl, why you acting dumb?

You know what? I'm gonna get him.

No, no, no! No, why don't we let Nelson get him?

He's over in the van.

What?

He's in the van.

Then why the hell didn't you just get him to...?

You know what? I'll get him.

Do you see him?

Do you see him?

He ain't there.

Oh, you sure?

'Cause I know I saw him...

I know damn well he ain't there.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.

[Car hood slams]

Nelson: Think I got it.

It was the fuse.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you so much.

No problem.

Yeah, I don't know anything about cars, so...

It's all good. It's good to meet you, Frankie.

It was nice to meet you, too, Nelson.

Oh, hey, what do I owe you?

Oh, nothing. It's on the house.

Oh, thanks.

Come on.

Actually, I owe you.

You mind if I come back later so we can talk?

Well, I have a few errands to run, but, yeah, sure.

Come on, Tavia.

I want to see Regina.

Come on.

Look how happy you are.

I miss her.

I'm sure you do.

Just... just sit right here, okay?

Okay.

I'm gonna go get her.

Okay.

Sit down.

Oh, okay.

And be quiet, okay?

All right.

Okay.

Please, please don't say...

You shut your filthy mouth right now!

And you go in that house and you take a damn shower!

Tavia, it's not what you...

Little bitch, don't say nothing to me! Nothing!

I didn't know he was here.

I said, shut up and go take a damn shower!

Are... are you crying?

Bitch, if my brother didn't love the both of you so damn much, I would've blown it all up.

But right now, he just got here... and that... that would devastate him.

So you gonna go in that house and you gonna take a shower while I try to figure out what the hell to do.

Come on!

Get your ass... in this damn house right now!

Get your ass in this house!

[Cellphone ringing]

Pick up your damn phone, Annie.

This is Anna. Please leave a message.

God.

Hey.

Get out of here.

You, too. Y'all go.

We just want to eat some food.

Well, you're not eating here.

We still doing this?

Doing what, J.B.?

You acting like you're mad at me.

I don't have time for this. You need to go right now.

I said I'm hungry.

Why don't you go eat at the Dixie Diner then?

No, I... I don't want to eat at the Dixie Diner, I want to eat here.

Well, I'm not serving you.

Well, I mean, looks like you're the only one here.

Get out.

Bonnie, don't be like that.

I don't have nothing to say to you, J.B.

What, you mad at me, because I was trying to help you?

You were trying to help me?

Yeah, why...?

Is that what you think?

Yeah, why else would I be doing it then, huh?

I don't know and I don't really care.

Hey, you...

You know I ain't got nowhere to stay.

And why is that my problem?

Bonnie...

Look at your face. Who b*at your ass, huh?

Y'all responsible for that?

Yeah, I'm sure you are.

You don't love me at all?

So you back with Brody then, huh?

Shut up.

Hey, Bonnie, listen to me.

Hmm?

I need to come back home to you.

My home is not your home.

No.

Get it?

Yeah, my... my home is full of queers.

You know, Brody's got them queers staying at my house?

Ugh. I'm not listening to you right now, okay?

Bonnie...

I love you.

Well, I don't love you.

You really going to end it like this?

Yeah, I already ended it, J.B.

All right, you know what?

Go on. Run, run on, just like your sister.

That's what y'all are good at.

Run on.

Get out!

No, hey, this is a free country, so I...

You know what? I'm gonna...

I'm gonna sit right here.

Fine.

What would you like?

You.

I don't have time for you anymore.

What the hell are you looking at?

All right, you know what? We... we... we all want a coffee.

Is that all right?

Yeah, that's all right. But we're closing up soon, so you're gonna have to take it to go.

Why are you... why are you closing so early?

'Cause I said so.

You take the coffees with you.

She is mad as hell at you.

Yeah, well, she'll get over it.

She always does.

So what?

What are we gonna do?

Well, I just need to lure him out into the open, get him out of the hotel.

Wait, one's at the hotel?

That's right.

Well, I think you should flirt with him, Don.

Why me?

Well, you're the pretty one here, baby.

They like pretty boys.

Nah, hell, nah. I ain't doing that.

Hey, come on. Get him.

All right, you just got to get him to meet you somewhere.

All right, get him out of there.

Flirt with him. J.B.

J.B., look, I have done a lot for the club, okay, but this is bull[Bleep]

Not doing it!

Will you... will you just trust us?

I mean, I got Jackson out of the house, didn't I?

You were screwing his wife.

It's the same thing.

No, it ain't. It ain't.

Well... thing is, we ain't asking you to sleep with him, Donny.

We just need to get him out into the open, all right, and we'll take it from there.

If we do get him out there, when... what are we supposed to do once...

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Still up to no good, I see.

Hey?

Thank you, darling. Here.

Not your darling. Get a life.

Hey. J.B. bothering you?

Yeah, don't worry about him.

Yeah.

Hey, was Rebel at school?

No.

Where the hell was she?

I don't know.

Is Annie at the trailer?

I haven't been to the trailer yet.

Okay, well, I need you to go over there, want you to see if Annie's there.

I've been calling her. She's not answering the phone.

Yeah, I'll go look at the trailer, if you want me to.

Okay, yeah.

I need you to have Annie call Shelby for me, okay?

I'll call Shelby, Bonnie.

I don't want you to call Shelby.

I want you to have Annie find Shelby and I want you to tell them that they need to meet me at the trailer when I get home from work, okay?

Okay. I'll do that.

Okay.

Yeah.

Right, here.

Bring this to mama.

That's all she wants?

Yeah, that's all she's getting.

Oh, and I want you to tell Mama that I need to talk to her about what the sheriff said.

What did the Sheriff say?

I got to clean up her trailer.

That's a lot of cleaning to do, Bonnie.

Yeah, I know, but we got to do it.

You know she ain't gonna like that.

Yeah. She ain't got no choice.

All right.

Hey?

Hey, hey? Go, go straight home.

Okay.

[Cellphone ringing]

[Sighs] Come on.

This is Anna. Please leave a...

What is she doing in there all this time?

I told you, you know women like to get ready.

Yeah. She always did take a long time.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Well, can you hurry her along, please?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

Just... just stay here, okay?

Well, I ain't going nowhere.

Yeah, I know.

What the hell are you doing?

I can't face him. I can't face him.

Bitch, you know what?

No, I can't.

Bitch, your ass should've thought about that before you did what you did.

What am I supposed to say to him?

You shut the hell up and you smile.

But I...

You know what?

I ain't got time for this damn drama, girl.

I really don't. Now you gonna go out th...

What is this?

What?

This damn sympathy you doing.

You will face him.

And you going to make him feel like he's the only thing in this world that matters.

In a few days, you're gonna tell him that the love just ain't there no more and that you need space.

And that you want a divorce.

But I don't.

No, you want a divorce.

No, I don't.

Bitch, the moment you started [Bleep] his friend, you wanted a divorce.

But now, no, now he's just too happy.

And I ain't gonna let you ruin his time here.

Tavia, I...

Do you understand me?

I love him...

Do you... bitch, you say that to me one more time, so I can put your face in this damn mirror.

Now you get your [Bleep] together and go out and see him.

Now!

Is she coming?

Yeah, yeah. Regina?!

Girl, come help me with these groceries!

Please?!

She's gonna be so excited.

Girl, come out here and help me with these damn groceries!

Please!

Hey!

Nelson.

Come her, baby. Hey, babe.

Oh!

Oh.

I missed you, baby.

Wow.

Look at you.

Oh, my god, you look good.

You look good.

Here, try it.

[Engine starts]

Turn it off.

Good?

Yeah.

I still got it.

Yeah, of course, you do.

Thank you.

What did I do?

You're always making me feel safe.

You know, protected.

You know this is a long way from D.C.?

This town will go quiet soon. You can go back to normal.

Why didn't you make love to me last night?

I told you.

No, you didn't.

You know, you Hayes girls have done a real number on me.

I just need some time to figure some things out, all right?

You know, I wish I never left here?

Me and you could've stayed together, gotten three acres.

I would've been a teacher at the high school.

And you would've been a vet.

Why did I ever leave here?

This town got too small for you.

Do you think we can still have that?

We're grownups now.

You know I still love you.

Don't say that.

It's true, I do, and I'm gonna prove it to you.

I'm gonna keep trying until you see that I'm the Annie I used to be.

Damn, girl.

You that desperate?

Hi.

What can I do for you?

How's this going?

Fixed it.

Good, so that means I can take the car, right?

Yeah.

Okay, I... I just... I need to go and find Dax.

So do you know where he may have gone in this great Metropolis of Happy?

There's one hotel in town on Main.

Okay. Well, I guess I'm gonna go and try to find him.

And let her get back to begging.

Valerie?

That ain't fair.

You really don't know her, do you?

Yeah, I do.

It's you I don't know.

Oh, Brody.

My sweet Alabama boy.

She is a snake.

I can already tell she's up to something.

She is not your friend and she is not your lover.

She smiles in your face, while all the while, trying to break your heart.

She has mental issues that do not allow for her to care for anybody else but herself.

Anna is a sociopath.

All right. Now you listen to me.

You, Victor, and Dax have been nothing but rude and mean-spirited since you got here.

All right? I let you in my house and you insult me, and you insult my guest.

When you find Dax, I think it's time that the three of you pack up and go.

I'm sorry.

No need to be.

But it's time.

So you're gonna keep not telling us anything?

Thought we was having a good time.

We're here to work.

Where else can you drink in the daytime?

Okay, this guy's not helping us.

Come on, baby.

You're losing 'em, Rick.

I did get about $200.

Well, I'm doing better than that with mine.

Look how he's looking over there.

Drunk.

You got him, baby.

That's the power of your lady.

Yes, it is.

I'll be right back.

You don't believe those things she said about me, do you?

No. I don't.

'Cause that's not who I am.

I know.

Do you really?

Yeah, I do.

Really?

Yes.

Would you mind taking me home?

Of course.

Hey. This is... this is Annie.

Hi, Annie. I'm... I'm Frankie.

What's going on?

Well, the Sheriff wanted me to talk to a woman over at the trailer park that's hoarding and I... I...

Jolene?

Yeah, I'm sure you know her.

Yeah.

So, yeah, he wanted me to talk to her, 'cause he's actually gonna make her clean the trailer immediately.

Have you been in there or...?

No. Not in a long time.

I hear it's really bad.

I just need some type of introduction or...

You know, I can do that.

Okay, you know her?

She's my mother.

Oh. Okay.

I mean, that makes it even better.

Maybe you can help me understand.

Are you some sort of therapist or something?

No. Um...

Hey, she's really good with this kind of thing, okay?

She helps my daddy out all the time.

She even got back from helping a bunch of kids in Texas and...

And it's free.

All right, it may be a good thing.

Okay.

Well, what can you tell me about her?

What do you want to know?

Anything you're willing to share.

Hey, I have an idea.

I need to go check on my daddy and maybe you can take her back and she can fill you in on the way back?

Is that okay?

Yeah?

Okay, yeah.

Come on.

All right.

Oh, Brody?

Yeah?

Can I...?

You know, I'll just... I'll just wait in your car.

What's going on?

Regina and Elm.

You mean Tina and Elm?

No, I mean, Regina and Elm.

What about them?

They're having an affair.

What?

No. Yeah.

Nelson is his friend.

And mine.

I know.

His wife is gonna lose it.

I know.

Are you sure?

Look, I've seen 'em with my own two eyes.

Does Nelson know?

I don't know, but Octavia does.

I never trusted that girl.

I... look, Brody, I don't know, but I think you need to talk to Elm or something or all hell is gonna break loose over there.

Yeah. Yeah, well...

Okay.

All right.

All right, I'll see you later.

Okay.

Sure are a lot of people in here.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I know what you're up to, Shelby.

You get caught, I'm gonna lock your ass up.

You get caught drinking and driving, I'm gonna lock your ass up!

I don't drink and drive.

I drink before I drive.

How much did he charge on the credit card?

Well, so far, we're at $300.

Good girl.

And I want my cut.

I'll give you your cut.

You'd better.

You know, I thought there'd be a whole lot more press people around here for something like this.

They're playing games over there in Bessemer.

They're saying that she lives over there.

Everybody wants to make as much money off these folks as possible.

They'll find out we're telling the truth and when they do, all of 'em gonna be over here.

Let's milk this as much as we can.

I always knew my sister would be good for something someday.

I just didn't know it'd be this.

I dated Annie in Junior High.

Hello, Shelby.

How are you?

You look good.

Yeah.

You sure do look good.

Can I buy you a drink?

No?

[Chuckling]

No, I guess not.

You are... still beautiful.

[Sniffs]

Oh.

[Crying]

[Knock on door]

Go away!

It's Valerie. Open the door.

What?

What the hell?

What?

I see somebody's been drinking.

Yeah. Cheap whiskey.

Not too good for my head.

Obviously.

What do you want?

I came here to talk to you about Victor.

Mmm, no, I'm not doing this.

Come on, Dax. Just listen.

Okay?

You are so wrong.

He is wrong.

Okay, just let me finish.

He's wrong, you're wrong, all right?

Will you at least just talk to him?

No way.

Dax, he is sick about breaking your heart.

Mmm, no, he's sick about getting caught.

Dax...

He said you had his family deported.

And?

You can't do that.

Okay.

Dax, come on.

You need to leave.

Dax, you know that you can't get anybody deported and now Victor is all up in arms about this whole thing.

Do you really want him going around and telling people that?

You really need to just tell him the truth.

And what is the truth?

The truth is that you didn't actually do that.

If you say so.

You're not joking, are you?

Do I look like I'm in the mood for jokes?

How could you do that?

I mean, you're not even working.

I don't know. Maybe you did.

Maybe you are connected.

I notice you've been spending a lot of time with her lately.

Are you doing this because of her?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Katelynn.

I don't know what you mean.

Dax, that woman is the devil.

Is she helping you?

Out.

Dax, I'm telling you, I warned you when she first started trying to be buddy-buddy with you that you needed to watch her.

Was this before or after you slept with her husband?

I never slept with him.

Oh. So we're lying.

Did she tell you that?

Well?

I didn't sleep with him.

Oh. Okay. Was it just oral sex?

Dax...

No, if we're going to be honest here, we need to be honest.

Okay.

Fine.

Fine.

No, I didn't sleep with him.

He flirted with me.

And then when Anna came, he never looked at me again.

But you wanted it.

Dax.

Answer the damn question.

Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

I wanted...

I just wanted to be wanted by a powerful guy.

You've got daddy issues.

Don't we all?

You know what?

You know... why don't we get back to talking about Victor?

Oh, no. No.

He loves you so much.

And he's really sorry.

Oh, no, his ass is sorry his meal ticket is leaving.

Dax.

Did you know that he called him for help?

Who?

Senator Marshall.

And how do you know?

Did Katelynn tell you that?

Dax, she is dangerous.

How did you get here?

In the rental.

Yes! Thank you!

Oh, no, you are not leaving here.

Oh, the hell I'm not.

No, no, you're not.

Not until you talk to Victor.

Where's Anna?

Why?

I need to see her before I leave.

Okay, good. So then that means that you can see Anna and Victor when we go back to the farmhouse.

I'm not talking to him.

Yes, you are.

No. I'm not.

Yes, you are. Let's go.

Uh...

Hi. Hi.

Sorry, I... I thought this was my room.

Valerie: No, it's not.

And you were about to knock?

My apologies.

[Dog barking]

Hey. You okay?

Yeah.

When do you think I'll be able to talk to your mother?

You know, why exactly do they need to clean out her trailer?

Well, Sheriff Mobley feels it's a safety hazard, so...

Yeah, I could see that.

Yeah, so you think I'll be able to talk to her or...?

You know, actually, I need to talk to my sister about it first.

Okay. Okay, well, I'm in...

I'm in trailer number 3 if...

Whenever you want to talk, when you're ready.

Okay. Okay. Thank you.

All right.

Thanks for the ride.

Okay.

It's all right.

What's wrong with her?

She ran into Eli.

Where?

She saw him at the h*nky Tonk.

I saw him, too.

He was talking to Rebel.

That son of a bitch.

What?

Yeah.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

She ran off.

With him?!

No, Bonnie, not with him!

What was she doing with him, Annie?!

I don't know!

Mac!

Yeah?

What is Rebel doing with Eli?!

She's been hanging out up there.

What is she doing up there?

She likes Rory.

His grandson?!

Yeah. His grandson.

Where are the damn keys?

I'll drive, I'll drive!

I'm coming, too!

Stay here!

[Engine starts]

[Knocking on door]

Jolene: Who is that?!

My name's Sam Johnson!

I'm... I'm looking for Annie Belle Hayes?

Well, who are you?!

I'm a friend!

Yeah, what kind of friend?!

I know her from high school!

Come around to the back window!

What side?!

Where you hear the voice coming from!

[Dog barking]

Hi.

Why are you here lying?

I'm sorry.

You ain't from around here.

And you most certainly don't know Annie.

You know her?

Who the hell are you?

I'm a reporter, all right?

I'm sorry I lied, all right?

There's been a bit of confusion.

Most of the press is in Bessemer.

And they're all looking for her and... well, I was given a tip that she...

She lives here at this address.

Well, your tip is wrong.

It is?

Yes.

Unless you give a tip.

Well, how does $20 sound?

Like you'd better find yourself $100.

Well, what do you know?

Do you think I'm crazy?

You'd better give me that money first before I tell you anything.

Well, all I have is $20... $40.

Come on, now!

Hand it over!

Okay. Here.

What do you... what do you know about her?

Tell me what you know about her.

Bye!

Hey! Hello?

You'd better get away from the window!

My husband's coming home soon and he's gonna have a shotgun!

You know what?

You know what?!

You gets more money, come on back, I'll tell you what you need to know.

Till then, head on to Bessemer with the rest of 'em.

Bye!

I know you're not married!

Son of a bitch.

[Laughter]

Rebel!

Huh.

Rebel! Get over here!

I'm not going anywhere.

Hey! You get in the car right now.

You're coming with me. Come on.

I said no! I'm not going!

What the hell you looking at?!

Hey! Don't talk to my grandpa like that!

I said no!

Rebel, you get your ass in that car or I will carry you.

You are not staying with him.

I don't need to stay with you.

Eli said I can stay with him.

Rebel, get in the car.

You don't talk to me.

Get in the car!

I'm not going anywhere with you, you whore!

Rebel, you get your ass in the car!

You get in right now!

What?

Let's go! Come on!

No!

Shelby: Rebel, you get in here!

Miss Bonnie.

Bonnie, he ain't worth it!

You think I'm going to let you do to her what you did to us?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Over my dead body, Eli.

Well, she likes my grandson.

You stay away from her.

Well, you know how hard it is to stop young love.

Bonnie, let's go.

Come on.

You know how young lovers are, don't you, Bonnie?!

Yeah, you know.

You know!

[Laughing]

[Engine starts]

[Smooches]

Where were we?

All this is mine.

I know.

J.B.: Yeah, my mama, she... she left it to me.

Tanner: Yeah. I know.

It's that damn Brody.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's got them damn queers in my house.

You know, I don't... I don't understand it all.

Why... why don't I have a place to stay?

It's that son of a bitch who should be out.

Well, J.B., you always wasn't just show.

No, no, I ain't.

Then you need to do something about this.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know, Tanner, and you're going to help me.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna k*ll that son of a bitch.

[Laughs] Are you?

What, you think it's funny?

I think you should be careful what you say.

Well, yeah, you... you know that I do what I say.

Listen, Brody is never gonna...

No, I ain't... well, I ain't... I ain't talking about Brody, though I would love to see his ass in the ground.

Well, who are you talking about?

That Dr. Allen son of a bitch.

You're not gonna k*ll that old man.

Watch me.

J.B., stop talking...

Hey, hey, hey?

Hey?

You know, you know I do what I say, Tanner.

Listen, Brody is never gonna let that happen.

No, why... why do you keep talking about Brody, huh?!

Your brother is a nice guy.

Who... whose side are you on?

I'm just saying.

Get, get, get the hell...

Get the hell out of my truck!

J.B.!

Now, damn it! Get out of here!

What, you just gonna leave me you here?!

Hey, yeah, you're damn right.

You don't know when to shut your mouth now, boy.

Get out of here.

Yeah. Bye-bye.

Son of a bitch.

Thank you, thank you, Tanner.

You think... you think I won't?

Huh? You think I won't?

Here I come.

[Sniffing]

Hey, hey, hey, hey?! Get... get your ass over here!

Is everything all right?

No, go in the room.

I want to talk to Rebel.

She's gonna be...

Mac, go, please!

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't care, Rebel.

Can you please leave me alone?

Are you pregnant?

What?

Are you pregnant?

No!

Why was this in the bathroom?

I... I don't know.

Tell me the truth.

I told you the truth.

If you are lying to me, girl...

Has Eli been touching you?

No!

I have done nothing but try to help you, Rebel.

What are you doing?

What is going on? Bonnie!

Annie, stop! You've not been here!

I know her! Something is wrong!

Something is wrong.

Nothing is wrong.

Can I please go?

Not until you answer my question.

I answered you!

Honey, I know this is yours, okay?

I want you to answer me again.

No, I am not pregnant.

No, I am not having sex.

Oh, baby, you do not know what kind of man he is, okay?

No, I get it. I get it.

Y'all are all liars!

Eli is a good man and he's nice to me!

He is not a good man.

Yes, he is!

He's your father.

You should not have told her!

You guys knew about it and you left me there.

Next on "Too Close to Home"...

It's your father here, J.B.

He's addressing the nation There will be more fireworks in America than on the 4th of July.

My brother, he would have k*lled both of them.

I thought you'd be more excited to see me.

I just... need...

I wanna talk to you about Regina.

What about her?

You need to leave her alone!

If you say so.

I promise you on my life, I will not let him do to her what he did to us.
