He has adopted Morales Pittman (Antonio Banderas), who has bigger, more illegitimate dreams than Edgar. The two travel about Arkansas, selling their socks and bumping into a variety of simple souls, including the eponymous mythic killer (Wes Bentley), who has engaged himself to Apple Lisa Weed (Kim Dickens) and disavowed his life as a murderer. Morales Pittman joins forces with Miss Apple Lisa's dim-witted brother, Reggie (Chad Lindberg), to extort money from the local bumpkins, to the annoyance of the reigning provider of "protection," Mr. Pines (Michael Massee). Things come to a head as Edgar finds himself falling for the blind Eva Nell (Ellen Barkin), who manages the best tea-house in Arkansas and Morales becomes more jealous of the place the Kid has taken in Edgar's heart.
