He said that you intimidated him.

- He has a witness.
- Oh, come on, that's not true.

I just asked him a few questions.

This needs to end, Bob Lee.

As soon as I know the truth.

All right.

Take a ride with me.

This was a long way to go

if you're just trying
to scare me straight.

Take a seat.

You remember what I said to you

the night we found you
in your daddy's cruiser?

You told me to forget everything.

Couldn't imagine
what you must be feeling,

being there when your daddy d*ed.

Forgetting was the best I could do.

Radio was on.

I saved the audio.

almost a full second late.

Jimmy Poole and my dad
were feet apart.

They would've come together.

Just what are you saying?

I'm saying that
Jimmy Poole didn't k*ll my dad.

There was a second sh**t.

Absolutely not.

It's the only way to know for sure.

Even if your daddy was
k*lled by somebody else,

probably a Poole, by the way,

what the hell would that matter now?

So, you're okay with my dad's

Watch your tone, son.

I heard it too, Sam.

Bob Lee's right.
