He said that it was the worst coffee
that I ever made.

:04:03
And I offered to pour it out
and make fresh.

:04:06
And he said no.
I was always wasting his damn money...

:04:09
...and he just drank it right down.
:04:12
You must be crazy, Aunt Lucille.
:04:14
All I know is you only got
one life, Peejoe.

:04:17
You can't sit around waiting
for your next life to start.

:04:21
Not when you see your big chance
about to pass you by.

:04:24
-But did you have to--?
-I had to make sure he was dead.

:04:28
I shouldn't have told you
all this, Peejoe.

:04:31
I don't want anybody to know
what I did or where I'm going.

:04:35
So you just forget all about it.
Just block it out of your mind. Okay?

:04:42
Thattaboy.
I knew I could trust you.

:04:45
You've always been
my special buddy, you know?

:04:48
Aunt Lucille said the only good thing
Uncle Chester ever gave her...

:04:51
... was her kids, all seven of them.
:04:54
And now she meant to leave
them all here.

:04:56
Poor old Meemaw, all in a tizzy,
running to call Uncle Dove...

:05:01
...because he was used to dead people.
He'd know what to do.

:05:04
Mama, there's nothing to do.
It's already been done.

:05:08
Come here, babies.
:05:09
Dove is the coroner.
He's got connections.

:05:12
And maybe you won't
have to go to jail.

:05:15
You can tell them--
:05:16
You can tell them
it was self-defence, honey.

:05:19
They won't even try to understand.
Come here, Nana. Don't be ridiculous.

:05:23
They will put me in the electric chair
if they catch me.

:05:26
But they're not gonna catch me.
I love you, my baby, so much.

:05:30
Meemaw said Aunt Lucille's life
was one long dream of the movies...

:05:34
... with herself in all the best parts.
:05:37
That was one reason
I was in love with her.

:05:39
Honey, you really need
to see a doctor.

:05:42
You try and get some rest, Mama.
:05:44
Peejoe, remember?
You promised. Bye.

:05:47
I promised, all right.
:05:48
But keeping her secrets
was the last thing on my mind.

:05:51
I thought about what she did
with the knife...

:05:54
... Uncle Chester gave her
for Christmas.

:05:56
I felt all cold inside...
:05:58
... like I'd jumped into
a swimming pool full of boiling water.
