0:01:55 > 0:01:59There's some coyotes hopping around across the road from that windmill.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04- What are they doing? - Hell, I don't know.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Looks like they're eating something, I guess.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Wanna shoot a coyote? - Hell, yes!

0:02:31 > 0:02:33That's a dead son of a bitch.

0:02:45 > 0:02:46Fuck.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49HE RETCHES

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- When did they find him? - Some time this morning.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- He was buried on the hill near Boracho Peak.- Who killed him?

0:02:55 > 0:02:59No clue. Was he involved in drugs, or smuggling, anything like that?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Melquiades?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- No.- I need a mask.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08HE CONTINUES TO SPLUTTER

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Jo Edna, let Earl tend to the hot dogs and the hamburgers.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31You just be sure Aunt Minnie don't have to worry about a place to go

0:03:31 > 0:03:34to the bathroom. Tell Charnelle she can forget about a car on Saturday

0:03:34 > 0:03:37if she don't show up.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I love you, too, baby. Gotta go.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44This beauty has two bedrooms, each one with its own bathroom.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Central AC and heat throughout.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50All homes come standard equipped with electric oven,

0:03:50 > 0:03:52washer, dryer and dishwasher.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55The Waste King garbage disposal is optional, of course,

0:03:55 > 0:03:59but it's a good option, because we charge a factory, wholesale price,

0:03:59 > 0:04:03no installation fee, and it's top-of-the-line equipment.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07We're strictly top of the line.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11"Strictly top of the line all the time." That's our motto.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14How much does this house cost?

0:04:14 > 0:04:1660,000.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19But if you're really interested,

0:04:19 > 0:04:23I can get you a 10% discount. I think.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31- Where y'all from?- Cincinnati. - Oh! Long way from home, huh?

0:04:31 > 0:04:34What line of work brings you to Texas?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Border patrol. - Oh.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40We're always a long way from home.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- HE CHUCKLES - Yeah. All right.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Well, actually this mobile residence has the highest resale value

0:04:47 > 0:04:51of any domestic residence in its price range in the southwest

0:04:51 > 0:04:53time and time again.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- I don't know. - Well, we also have

0:04:58 > 0:05:03some great previously-owned mobile residences in the lower price ranges

0:05:03 > 0:05:05if that would be your requirement.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09TRAFFIC BLARES

0:05:27 > 0:05:30THEY WHOOP AND CHUCKLE

0:05:32 > 0:05:35THEY FALL SILENT

0:06:10 > 0:06:12HE COUGHS

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Hey, Perkins.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Here's the stuff that your friend had on him.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Do you know who they are? - His wife and kids.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Any idea how to get hold of them? - Well, they live in...

0:06:28 > 0:06:30..Mexico.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Can I keep this?

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Yeah, I guess. For a while. We're gonna have to do an autopsy on him.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44When you get through, I want you to give Melquiades to me.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Hell, I can't do that. Are you crazy?- No...

0:06:49 > 0:06:51..I'm not.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54SHE CHUCKLES AT TV

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I gotta go.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- All right, see you tonight. - Come back early, though. I get real bored here.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Haven't you made friends with the neighbours?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17No. I don't like them.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- I'm gonna buy you a Nintendo so you don't get so bored.- OK.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28And take me to the mall this Saturday in Odessa.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30OK, babe. I know where it is.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38The deceased died of a gunshot wound of an AR-15 .223 bullet.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42It entered just left of the sternum between the fourth and fifth rib,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46impact caused the lung to burst. Took him 15, 20 minutes to die.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50I would estimate he died seven days ago. The trajectory of the bullet

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- indicates the shot was fired from 300 yards away.- He was gunned down.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Listen Bud, we need to bury him now.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Refrigeration in this dump has broke down

0:07:59 > 0:08:02- and I gotta be back in El Paso tomorrow morning.- OK. Bury him.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04We need to notify his relatives.
