"Previously on Rectify..." "No matter what Mr. Childers says regarding the store," " I'm still going up to see Daniel." " I'd like to go with you." "It's not good to get too personally involved with residents." "We're in the midst of an ongoing investigation." "I'm sure you understand." "What I don't understand is you, Sheriff." "Do you think I should just do it?" " Do what?" " Leave." "I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you tonight." "(WATER RUNNING)" "You got to work, man?" "That sucks." "Manny?" "Least the weekend's coming, right?" " Manny." " (CHUCKLES)" "Not that that means much around here." "Still got to do your chores like a 10-year-old." "Manny." "What, man?" "Shit." "Would you mind not..." "Would you mind not attending to your personal... gratification when I'm in the room, trying to sleep?" "Oh." "I'm sorry, Dan." "Thought you were already asleep." "O-Or if I am a-asleep." "Really, I would prefer it if you not do that in my presence." "It's just not appropriate, you know." "Okay." "How 'bout the bathroom?" "Uh, sure." "Or, you know, when I'm not here." "You want to make a schedule?" "I-I'm not trying to start anything, Manny." "Sure about that?" "It's just not appropriate, you know?" "You said that already." "Ted!" "Have you seen your suitcase?" "The old blue suitcase with the broken wheel?" "Ted!" "(SIGHS) I can't find the old blue suitcase." "Yeah." "Got that." "Ted!" "TED SR.:" "Between the croquet set and your bicycle!" "So much yelling." "So butt-ass early." "I'm sorry." "We're trying to get on the road." "Beat the traffic." "Morning to you, too." "I found this in the attic..." "Daniel's old stuff." "Thought maybe you might like some of it in Nashville." "You know, since he's not coming back here ever." "That is so thoughtful of you, Jared, but I don't think Daniel really wants these things anymore." "How do you know?" "Well, Daniel actually threw all of that stuff away." "A while back." "Threw it away?" "Then how did it..." "Did you pull all of his things out of the trash after he put them there?" "Well, yes." "Yes, I did." "That's weird, Mom." "Isn't that weird?" "I'm not getting involved." "He was a little... unstable at the time, and I was afraid he might regret his decision." "Did he?" "Maybe I'll broach it when I'm there." "(BALMORHEA'S "BOWSPRIT" PLAYING)" "(TRAFFIC PASSING)" "Did you think they were gonna pick us?" "Tried not to have expectations about it either way." "Why would you do that?" "Always a good idea to protect yourself a little bit." "From what?" "You know what I mean." "I think it's kind of fun fantasizing about having all that money." "It's a lot, all right." "I mean, Mr. Childers said it." "We could relocate 'cross town somewhere and be able to bank what's left over." "He did say that." "That's not true?" "Theoretically, we could relocate if we found a building suitable that actually had people driving by it." "Look, they just want what we got, and they want to make their offer as tempting as all get-out." "Mission accomplished." "But there's nothing about the offer that says we have to open up again in Paulie, does it?" "There's nothing in the contract, if that's what you mean." "So we could go or do whatever we choose." "What are you talking about when you're talking about choosing?" "Choosing what?" "Or where?" "I have no idea." "I just think it's kind of nice to consider what doesn't have to be." "I mean, do we even want to run another tire store, really?" "Do you?" "Did you ever want to run a tire store in the first place, Ted?" "Why does it matter if I ever wanted to?" "Because I don't know." "And I've always been afraid to ask." "If I'm being totally honest, the answer is... probably not." "The answer's no." "But things happen." "Things happened." "You weren't in the best of shape back then, Janet." "Thanks for bringing that up." "I'm not saying it for that reason." "Do you want to know what I think, if I'm being totally honest?" "Sure." "Always." "I think we should sell." "I want to sell the store, Ted." "Is that your response?" "Okay." "What if my response was..." ""I don't want to sell." "I don't want to sell the damn store, Janet."" "What if I said that?" "What would you do then?" "I mean, really." "And what would happen?" "To us." "Look." "I didn't say I didn't want to sell." "I said "If I said that, what would you do?"" "Are you listening to yourself?" "As much as you're listening to yourself." "Saying you want to sell then asking me for a response." "What does what I say even matter in that conversation?" "That isn't a conversation." "Exactly." "Okay." "Point for Ted." "Can we try this?" "If you owned the store free and clear, if it was yours to do as you pleased, what would you do to please you?" "Well, first, I need more time to think about it." "Okay." "Can you think about it out loud with me right now?" "No." "That's not the same thing." "(SIGHS)" "Okay, let's try this approach." "After you have thought about it for a period of time with yourself, would you mind discussing what you've thought about with me before they rescind the offer?" "Sure." "No problem." "Great." "I'll be on standby." "(DOORBELL RINGS)" " Hey." " Hey." "Come on in." "I made muffins." "That right?" "Do you want one?" "No, I'm fine, thanks." "Fresh and hot." "Oh." "Sure." "Okay." "Is it weird being here?" "TED JR.:" "Little bit." "Remember that big ol' picture we used to have up here?" "I do." "Kind of show-offy, wasn't it?" "Picture of ourselves that big." "I don't know." "It was then." "It was tacky." "Stupid." "(DISH RATTLES)" "Want butter?" "Not really." " Oh, I'm sorry." " (BUTTER KNIFE THUDS)" "I thought you always liked butter." "Um...(CHUCKLES)" "Butter's fine, then." "You sure?" "I've got plenty of muffins." "Either way." "Is everything all right?" "They made an offer on the store." "Oh, really?" "Dad said Mr. Childers, or Bob, called Janet last night and made it official." "Ain't that somethin'?" "Well, what are y'all gonna do?" "Ain't no "me" in that y'all." "They're not gonna make a decision without considering you." "You grilled anything since I left?" "Not yet, no." "What are we doing, Tawney?" "What do you mean?" "What are we doing?" "Figuring things out, aren't we?" "What things?" "Our lives." "Don't we have some things already figured out?" "If we're being honest." "Some things." "Not everything." "I don't want to corner you, Tawney." "Hem you in, put you on the spot anymore." "I really don't." "I..." "I don't like the way it makes me feel." "About myself." "So I'm gonna make it easy for you here." "So you don't have to be the bad guy." "I know you don't like being the bad guy." "I'm gonna propose something to you." "Okay." "How 'bout we get a divorce?" "Does that sound good?" "I'll tell you what." "I'll make it even easier for you." "I'd like to get divorced, Tawney." "Would you grant that for me?" "Are you..." "Are you sure, Teddy?" "It's gonna be okay, Tawney." "Just..." "Yes." "You may have a divorce, Teddy." "See?" "Piece of cake." "Kind of got to get back to work." "I understand." "I'll see ya later." "Yeah." "See ya later." "(DOOR OPENS)" "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Anyway, my daughter doesn't want to have anything to do with me right now, and I can't force it." "Teenage girls, man." "AVERY:" "That's hard, Nate." "It is." " But you just got to be patient." " Mm-hmm." " Right?" " Right." "Can't go back and undo what's done..." "But you can go forward and do what's right." "Do what's right, y'all." "Right, Dan?" "That's right, Avery." "Family, family." "You got some of that coming your way, right?" "Saw that on the visitors list." "You excited?" "You sweating' it?" "You seem bothered." "About them coming, or...?" "Sure." "All right, now." "What's going on here?" "I don't like him." "(LAUGHS)" "Y'all be cool." "How did we get here?" "Ask him." "This dude's a nut." "Now, come on." "Put it back in y'all's pants now." "That's his problem, actually." "You know, you're a little bitch." " I'm a what?" " Manny!" " A bitch." " Manny!" "Daniel, be cool." "Dude's mad I jerk off." "Believe that?" "I asked you not to do that in front of me." "I asked you!" "I thought he was asleep." "I won't ask you again." "Yeah?" "Meaning what?" "It might be nothing to you." "It's something to me." "It bothers me." "You have no idea how much." "Yeah." "Me beating' off is something now." "Okay." "(CLEARS THROAT) Ain't about doing it." "It's when and... and where." "It's about respect, Manny." "Respect for your roommate." "Respect for people in this house." "Look, if you don't show respect in here, you won't do it out there." "(LAUGHING) I thought the dude was asleep." "Come on, man." "AVERY:" "Daniel." "Daniel." "(KEYS JINGLE)" "Hello?" "Jared Talbot?" "Amantha Holden?"

"Uh, he doesn't live here anymore, Bobby." "He moved to Nashville." "How about..." "Jared." "He's not here, either." "Something I can help you with, Bobby?" "I don't know." "(BEER SLOSHES)" "Did Daniel ever used to talk about Hanna when they were going out?" "Like how he felt about her?" "You know, if he loved her, or whatever?" "Couldn't tell you, Bobby." "I really didn't know Daniel back then." "Oh." "(CHUCKLES) Right." "Guess it was weird for you, huh?" "Being brought into all this." "Everything's weird when you're a kid." "Everything's weird now." "Heard that." "You got another one of these?" "Think we're out." "Why are you here, Bobby?" "George Melton's dead and I don't feel so good myself." "He used to come by our house." "George Melton?" "You know, after it all been wrapped up, and your future step-brother was sent down the river for his confessed sins." "First time George showed up, he had store-bought flowers in one hand and a big bag of Tom's plain potato chips in the other." "Told me and Mama how sorry he was for our loss and how much he missed Hanna." "Started crying right there on the porch." "That wasn't unusual." "Lots of people showed up to cry on our porch back then..." "People that wouldn't even used to acknowledge us in the streets would show up, see Mama, and just start bawling." "Like they were borrowing on her grief for their own purposes." "'Course, Mama just ate it all up." "Why wouldn't she?" "It was the first time in her life that she didn't have to scream and yell to be seen." "(SIGHS)" "(BEER THUDS)" "(BOTTLES RATTLE)" "(BOTTLE CAP POPS)" "Hey, thank you." "Anyway, long after the procession had ended, he'd show up and visit with Mama." "He'd hang with me, too." "You know, we'd ride bikes, play video games." "I mean, he was 18 and I was 12, but..." "It didn't seem that weird to me at the time." "I just thought he was my friend, you know?" "(SIGHS)" "It was late in the afternoon." "Last day he ever came by." "He and Mama had been in Hanna's room for a while." "They used to do that." "You know, just sit there." "Talk about Hanna, school..." "I don't know what all." "After a good long while, he came outside." "And he look at me sad-like and said we couldn't play no more." "I asked, "Why not?"" "He said he just couldn't do it no more." "Visit with us." "That it was too painful." "As he walked over to his bike, all I could think about was him leaving me alone with Mama." "Just me and her alone in that house." "And I begged him not to go." "I begged him to come back." "He said it wasn't right." "What he was doing." "And I asked, "What wasn't right?"" "He didn't answer." "He just got on his bike to go." "So I grabbed him by his arm." "I said, "What's happened?" "Did something happen, George?"" "He looked at me, real strange," "and he said..." "Said what?" ""Trey went back."" "Trey went back?" "That's what he said." "That's all he said." "Then he rode off." "What the hell's that mean, Bobby?" "Back then, it was just one more thing I didn't understand." "Didn't make sense." "All that was real was that my sister was dead," "Daniel had killed her, and my... my one true friend just told me he wasn't coming back no more." "And now?" "Tell him I'm sorry." "Who?" "Daniel." "For what I did to him at Hanna's grave." "Tell him I hope this helps." "(SIGHS)" "(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)" "(BIRDS CHIRPING, INSECTS BUZZING)" "(KNOCKS ON DOOR)" "Afternoon, Mr. Stern." "I've knocked on a lot of doors today, Sheriff." "I didn't think yours would be one of them." "Please." "Coffee?" "No, I'm okay." "Thanks." "Beer?" "Why not?" "Have a seat." "Why?" "Have you talked with CJ Pickens since you and I last spoke?" "I have." "Did you tell him to avoid me, not return my calls?" "I certainly did not tell him that." "(BOTTLE CAP RATTLES)" "Did you know at least 20 kids were brought down to the sheriff's station the morning after Hanna Dean was murdered?" "I did know that." "And only seven were officially interviewed?" "I'm aware of that, too." "Was one of those kids named Roger?" "Doesn't ring a bell, but I didn't know all the kids by name." "Nor was I there the whole time." "But I'll ask around." "Why am I here?" "Why did you call me, Sheriff?" "(SIGHS)" "I got to go see a man about a horse." "What?" "There's some reading material if you get bored." "Till I get back." "Shouldn't be gone more than 30 minutes."

"I really only have two places to go, and I was getting away from one of them." "Well, thanks for the vote of confidence." "Did something happen today?" "Or is it just Pre-Traumatic Mom Disorder?" "They so hoped I could be put back together." "Who did?" "My family, sister, mom." "But I don't really see that happening, Chloe, no matter the surgeons who attend me." "What broke you?" "Lots of things." "Can you tell me just one?" "One of the things?" "My dog died." "That's always a hard one." "Yeah, it was at the time." "What else?" "Um, oh, yeah." "I was sexually assaulted in prison multiple times." "That kind of sticks with you." "That's horrific, Daniel." "I shouldn't be telling you this." "Why are you?" "I'm a romantic." "And you're the girl." "And you're hoping the girl's gonna save you." "If you're a romantic." "Can't save you, Daniel." "I'm sorry." "But I could hold you." "If you'd let me." "(BIRDS CHIRPING)" "When's your mom arriving?" "Oh, she may already be here." "I don't know." "You gonna go back and see her?" "At the fun house?" "She traveled a long way." "(SIGHS)" "Trey went back where?" "That's what I asked Bobby." "He said that's all George said." "(SIGHS)" "He asked me to pass a message on to Daniel, too." "Bobby did." "Tell him how sorry he was for what he did to him at Hanna's grave." "(SCOFFS)" "(SIGHS)" "I'm gonna have to call Jon now." "I figured." "(REFRIGERATOR DOOR OPENS)" "We really are out of beer this time." "That sucks." "Did you go to work today, Teddy?" "Called in sick." "To whom?" "Myself." "(BOTTLES RATTLE)" "Is there anything else going on?" "We're out of beer." "That's a tragedy." "Did Mom get the offer today?" "(UTENSILS RATTLE)" "Last night." "You know about this, Jared?" "Are you serious?" "Teddy, they are not gonna sell the store." "There is no way." "Bet you a wheel alignment they do." "If you had a car." "Why don't you stay here tonight?" "Okay?"

"(DOOR CLOSES)" "Have you ever..." "Do you ever think about being somewhere else?" "I don't know." "Come on, Ted." "You've never pictured just being different?" "Being different or being somewhere different?" "Both." "Either." "Different how?" "Different...?" "Different." "You've never thought," ""I wish I was a pineapple farmer in Hawaii"?" "Or a gossip columnist in Paris in the '20s." "Does Lafayette just turn into Eighth?" "Guess it does." "Good Lord." "What?" "No, I've never wanted to" " farm pineapples in Paris in any decade." " (SIGHS)" "Why is that so hard to believe?" "It's not." "Trust me." "I believe you." "You're setting a trap." "How?" "I'm just asking you what dreams, what dumb, silly, fantastical dreams you might have had before or during the life you settled for, the life you actually have." "(SIGHS) It was supposed to be fun." "Sounds more sad to me." "Me, too, now." "You see?" "A trap." "A goddamn land mine." " You're always planting those, Janet." " Always?" "You say, "It's all clear." "Nothing to worry about here,"" "and then it's pineapples in Paris." " Please stop saying that." " I take one step forward and, bam, land mine, just like I suspected." "You're full of intuition, Ted." "What can I say?" "God, you resent me, don't you?" "What?" "You're filled with resentment for me." "And I understand why." "I do." "And actually, I don't blame you for that... the resentment." "Oh, yeah?" "Sure seems that way." "I blame you for resenting me in silence, for resenting me and never saying a word about it." "You're right." "I do do that." "And I blame you for never thanking me for it." "CARLTON:" "Tawney." "Oh, um, I'm sorry that I didn't call you back." "I-I had kind of a-a weird morning." "No, no." "It's okay." "But there is something you need to know." "Zeke didn't wake up this morning." "He's unconscious." "His breathing started to slow and become labored." "He's not in pain." "Oh, I called his nephew." "The number's not in service." "Anyway, it's looked into." "Can you hear me, Mr. Zeke?" "I never got your plaque." "I wanted to." "I even..." "I wrote your address down the other day." "But..." "I-I thought I had more time, I guess." "I'll still go get it for you, if you want me to." "Or..." "Or I-I'll stay here." "Either way."
