Deadfall (2012) - full transcript
After a heist of a casino, the criminal Addison and his sister Liza are on the run to Canada with their driver/accomplice Theo. Out of the blue, Theo hits a deer and loses control of the car that leaves the road and overturns. Theo dies and Addison kills a patrolman that comes to help them. Then he splits the money with Liza and tells his sister to get a ride to the border while he will cross the woods. Addison leaves a trail of blood in his runaway. Meanwhile, the former boxer Jay, who was arrested for losing a fight, is released from prison on probation and calls his mother June Mills that lives in an isolated house with his estranged father Chet Mills that was the former Sheriff. June invites her son for the Thanksgiving dinner, but he goes first to the gym to collect money that his couch owes him. They quarrel and Jay hits him and believes that has killed him. He flees and while driving on the road, he sees Liza and gives a ride to her. Soon they fall in love with each other. Meanwhile Sheriff Marshall T. Becker is hunting Addison with his men but he does not allow that his daughter, Deputy Hanna to participate in the hunting party. The Thanksgiving will end with all the characters gathering at Chet and June's home.
MAN'S VOICE:
What would home look like?
I don't know.
A farmhouse in the valley,
I guess,
like the one we grew up in,
Liza and I.
I remember hiding
in the orchard at night
looking down
at the lighted windows,
waiting for our daddy
to fall asleep
just so we could
go back inside.
Do you remember that, Liza?
Hmm?
Do you remember that?
I'd imagine him passing out
with one of his
Lucky Strikes in his hand,
the house catching fire,
the orchard,
the whole valley burning up.
So, how's it feel, Liza?
Your first big score?
I don't know.
Excited, nervous,
like I'm spying on someone,
someone doing something dirty.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Shame.
It's all right, little sis.
It's a good sign
when you feel a little bad.
(CRASHES)
MAN:
Liza?
Liza, can you hear me?
- Liza?
- I can hear you.
Are you in pain?
No. I think
I'm all right.
Theo?
MAN: Theo should've worn
his safety belt.
Shit.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
(RADIO CHATTER CONTINUES)
- Radio 234, TA on Highway 131.
(SIREN CHIRPS)
Liza, can you move?
I think so.
- Then be ready to.
- Okay.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(BIRD CAWING)
Are you okay?
Can you hear me?
Sir, I hope you can forgive me.
(GUNSHOT)
Addison?
Liza, get the money.
Liza, now!
See if you can get to your bag.
Get anything warm.
I'm sure that officer called for backup,
at least an ambulance.
We can't be foolish now,
you understand?
- Do you have the money?
- Mm-hmm. Most of it.
- Do you have your health?
- I think so.
Let's not dally.
(DOOR CLANGS)
(MEN CHATTERING)
GUARD:
Mills! Let's go.
Pack it up.
You're out of here.
MAN: Yo, you be cool,
white boy.
- MAN 2: Yeah.
MAN: - You be cool out there, man.
- Yeah!
- Come on, keep going!
(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT
OVER P.A.)
GUARD 2:
You got your papers?
You know how to get
your car out of impound?
I'm okay.
Thanks.
Going home to see your folks
for Thanksgiving?
I don't know.
- Just let me out of here.
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
(HORNS HONKING)
(DISTANT SIRENS WAILING)
MAN:
Hello?
Hello?
Dad, it's Jay.
Dad, are you there?
Hello, son.
How you been?
Decent.
Listen, I'm in the middle
of something.
I'll get your mother.
WOMAN:
Who is it?
Hello?
Mom, it's me.
Oh! Oh, my goodness.
Hi, honey!
How are you?
I'm out.
- What?
- This morning. Good behavior.
Oh, my God.
That's wonderful.
Then you'll be here
for Thanksgiving tomorrow?
Oh! I'll make it nice, honey,
just the way it used to be.
What about Dad?
Your father loves you, Jay.
He just has a hard time
showing it.
Listen, if it's more
comfortable tomorrow morning,
he'll be gone hunting.
We can talk about it then.
I just need the keys
to the cottage, if that's okay.
Oh, sure. They're here.
Just come and get them.
Do you need money?
Are you in trouble?
Mom, I've got to go.
MAN:
Read the sign!
Oh, shit.
Jay.
"Mohawk" Mills.
Jay.
Just Jay.
Time really flies by.
It didn't fly by for me.
Well, come on in, kid.
Just watching some tape
on a new fighter.
Yeah, you were
really something then.
No one threw
a left hook harder.
You weren't even there, Ronnie.
How'd you end up with my medal?
I just figured
I'd hang on to it,
you know, for safekeeping.
Right.
Looks good on you, kid.
- When did you get out?
- Couple of hours ago.
Wow, you came straight here.
I'm honored.
Who tipped off the boxing
commission, Ronnie?
Hell if I know.
Well, how come I was the only one
that took the fall?
How come you were
never indicted?
A lot of questions.
I had a lot of time
to think of them.
I want the money you owe me.
How do you figure
I owe you money, kid?
- The fucking fight, Ronnie!
- Okay, I get it.
Remember, kid,
you were like a son to me.
I don't got a lot right now,
but I've got some.
Some's better than none, right?
It's not much,
but it's all I got right now.
(GROANING)
- Are you fucking stupid?
Do you think you can come in here
and make demands?
You're on parole!
You don't dare touch me.
You could've been
a great fucking loser!
We could've made
a lot of money together.
See, the way I figure,
you owe me.
Ronnie.
Oh, Jesus.
(RINGING)
WOMAN: 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?
Hello?
9-1-1.
Is anybody there?
Stay on the line with me
if you can hear me.
We'll dispatch a car
to this address.
Jay? Hey, man!
Long time no see!
Hey. Sorry, man.
Jay? Hey!
- What's your problem?
(ENGINE STARTS)
MAN:
Hey, watch it, man!
JUNE: I told Jay to stop by
tomorrow morning.
I see.
(SIGHS)
Don't do this, Chet.
It's not fair.
He turned his back
on his family.
(HORN HONKS)
JUNE:
Wonder who that is.
JUNE: - Hi, Hanna!
- Hi!
- Hi, Sheriff Mills.
- Not me.
- My spurs are hung.
- Oh!
It's so good to see you guys.
- Seems like it's been forever.
- Look at you.
What a pretty young woman
you turned into.
You're the spitting
image of your mom.
I remember my mom and dad
used to take me here
for Thanksgiving
when I was little.
Jay and I used to always feed
all those leftover bones and things
to that big pig you guys had.
Jay was always
going on about...
CHET: So, uh, what brings you
out here now?
Oh, um, we actually
have a bad situation.
I wanted to give
you guys a heads up.
What do you mean by bad?
Late last night,
one of the tribal casinos
down in Mt. Pleasant
was robbed.
Two armed suspects
wearing masks.
Anyone hurt?
Around 6:00 this morning,
a state trooper came upon
an accident site
a ways south of us.
And when backup arrived,
they found the trooper shot to death.
Oh, my God.
One of the suspects
died in the crash.
At least one more took
to the national forest here.
We're setting up roadblocks
and sending in search teams,
but it is possible
he could slip through,
so we're just letting
all the families out here know.
Well, it's a huge area.
He'd never make it
this far north on foot.
And the temperature's
supposed to keep dropping.
I heard blizzard conditions.
I say let him freeze to death.
Coyotes will find him.
(BIRD CAWING)
What are you
looking at, Addison?
Pardon me.
It's okay to look.
Hush! The devil
will hear you.
What did I promise you
when we started this?
That no one would get hurt.
Well, I want you
to remember this...
you didn't hurt anyone.
I made the choice,
and now things are different.
Different how?
We're going to split up.
They don't know
anything about you.
- You were just a distraction.
- I don't like this plan.
- I didn't ask you if you liked it.
- We shouldn't split up!
Shh! Listen.
You follow that path
and then cut toward the road.
Use your wits.
Hitch a ride.
Keep heading north.
We can still make it to Canada.
But till then,
you don't know me any more.
I'm not your brother any more,
not until I let you know
it's okay.
Remember how I taught you?
Leave your phone on,
and I'll call you
tonight, okay?
You're my little girl.
Say it.
I'm your little girl.
That's good.
Here you go.
What if you don't call?
Well, then I'm dead.
HANNA: So do you have any plans
for Thanksgiving?
JUNE: No, just dinner.
How about you?
Any news from your mom, Hanna?
- You?
- No, sweetie. Not in a long time.
Well, it was really good
to see you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, you should stop by
tomorrow for dinner.
Oh, thanks.
You know, I...
I was going to ask my dad
if he had any plans,
see if he wanted to do
something together.
Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(CHATTER, PHONES RINGING)
Hey, Doris!
What's the word?
The word is shit,
and there's a big pile of it
waiting for you in the office.
- Becker?
- And the boys.
Any mail come for me?
A letter?
Didn't come in yet.
- Well, let me know.
- Yes, ma'am.
We'll provide manpower
and additional search support
along with the other counties.
Shut the fucking door, eh?
State K-9 teams won't
be here till late tonight,
so we're going in
this afternoon with my dogs.
Use your radios,
use your heads.
Everybody wears their vests.
If you come upon this guy,
call it in.
We all want to make it home
for turkey dinner.
Well, you keep talking, I'm not going
to make it for turkey dinner.
Travis, this morning
while you were fucking
that little rat you call a wife,
this guy shot a cop
in the face.
The cop's name
was Alan Townsend.
He served as a trooper
for 18 years.
That man is dead, gone forever.
All right, all right.
Take it easy. Sorry.
This is the real deal, boys.
You understand?
All right, now listen up.
Here's what we're going to do.
Travis, Brice, Bill,
you'll be with me heading west
from the accident site
toward the lake shore.
The other four of you
will be led by Denny.
You'll head east toward I-75.
Okay?
Let's get going,
What about me?
What about you?
- What team am I with?
- None.
- What do you mean?
- I mean you ain't going out.
- You can't do that.
- I'm responsible for these men's lives.
I'll do whatever the hell I see fit.
Besides, what if we got out there
and something major happened,
like you had to change
your tampon?
(CHATTER STOPS)
- No offense, Deputy.
Then I'd change it, Dad.
(CHATTER RESUMES)
Shit.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Coroner's going to probably be done
in about five minutes.
- Okay.
- Check in with him, will you?
Shit!
Miss.
- Miss, are you okay?
(SHIVERING)
Hey, hey.
Are you all right?
(HEATER BLOWING)
MAN:
Come on, old pain!
Ah, you no good mule!
Start, God damn you!
(ENGINE SPUTTERS)
- You rotten old pile of shit!
(GRUNTS) (ENGINE STARTS)
- Ha!
(SCREAMING)
I have a past wife
that comes to me in dreams.
She told me you'd be coming.
(GROANING, SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING)
LIZA: You can barely
see anything out there.
- Yeah. It's going into white-out.
- What?
When you can't see
what's right in front of you.
My car broke down.
I got lost.
You live around here?
My folks.
They live close to the border.
I'm just passing through.
You think you could
give me a lift?
No.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
I'll drop you at the next
gas station, all right?
(UNZIPS)
This is kind of like an old movie,
don't you think?
What is?
Us.
Two people meeting
in a snowstorm.
I guess.
What's your name?
What do you want it to be?
Come on, didn't you ever play
pretend when you were a kid?
We're strangers.
We can be whoever we want.
So, who am I?
- Come on, give me a name.
- Look, I'm sorry.
- I really don't...
- Shh.
Name me.
Patricia.
I like that.
Patricia, the bad girl.
(PHONE RINGING)
(KNOCKING)
The FBI Academy!
You passed the exam!
I'm so damn proud of you, honey.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
Hanna, you're going
to be an FBI agent
and you're finally getting
to leave this shit hole.
Turn around and look at me.
He's a son of a bitch, Hanna.
- Who?
- Who do you think?
The sheriff, your dad!
No. He's not that bad.
He doesn't really
mean it, you know?
It's just been hard for him
since my mom took off.
That was years ago, Hanna.
You're not actually
considering giving this up?
Why?
So you can take care of him?
I'm all he's got left.
This is from my heart, honey.
This is your life,
and you only get one.
(ENGINE SPUTTERING)
(ENGINE DIES)
(GRUNTING) (PULL CORD WHIRRING)
(SIZZLES)
- Ah!
(SIZZLING) (SCREAMING)
(HISSING) (GASPING)
(CHATTER)
(MUSIC PLAYING ON JUKEBOX)
Well, good luck.
Thanks for rescuing me.
Hey, folks.
Just to let you know,
state police were just here.
- They're closing the roads.
- Are you serious?
Full-on blizzard.
Plows can't get through
till the morning.
So batten down the hatches
and pull up a stool.
You're probably going
to be here all night.
I know I will.
- You got a phone?
- Oh, yeah.
Pay phone's in back by the can.
(TOUCH-TONES BEEPING)
(CHILDREN BABBLING)
Hey, it's me.
I'm at this place.
I'm stuck here for the night.
There's this guy.
He's the perfect ride.
His parents have a place
near the border.
I'm going to get him
to take me there.
The address is 207
Old Mills Farm Road, Bear Lake.
Can you make it there?
I hope you're okay.
Okay. Bye.
Hey, can I get you a drink?
- I'm okay.
- Ah, first one's on me.
Call it a snowstorm special.
You and your wife?
Oh, we'd love a drink.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Here you go.
My name's Patricia.
This is my husband Addison.
Addison?
That's a funny one.
It's his daddy's name.
You two married long?
No. We're pretty new at it.
Ah, thought so.
Still got the glow.
Well, my name's Mandy
and this is my bar.
Got it in the divorce.
Never used to come in here
when he ran the place,
- but now I love it.
WOMAN: - Hey, Mandy!
Now, how about bringing us
some more pitchers, huh?
My ex-sister-in-law Tricia.
Listen, honey.
You can pick the guy.
You just can't pick the family.
(WHISTLING) (COUPLE ARGUING)
(ARGUMENT CONTINUES)
(GLASS SHATTERS) (WOMAN SHOUTS)
(MAN SHOUTING)
(WOMAN CRYING) Come here!
Come to Mommy!
Come here!
- Lisa, get back here!
- Stop it! No!
MAN: - No!
WOMAN: - Lisa, come.
(BABY WAILING)
WOMAN: - Come here, baby.
Come here, come here.
No, stop it!
MAN: Lisa, you get your ass
back in the cabin
if you know
what's good for you!
Come to Mommy.
Come to me.
- No. No!
- That goes for your mother, too,
or I'll be hunting
more than deer tomorrow!
You're not going anywhere!
There's nothing for miles!
That baby's going to freeze!
I'll be waiting!
WOMAN: - No!
(BABY WAILING)
(CRYING)
Don't you move.
Take your coat and go outside.
- Who are you...
- Shut your mouth!
Liza, get outside now.
Her name's Lisa.
She only does what I tell her.
You'll be dead before
your hand touches it.
Lisa, your mom's up
on the hill with the baby.
She's very cold
and she needs your help.
You need to take her
something warm.
You stay right there, Lisa.
He ain't got the guts
to do it in front of you.
Probably wouldn't be good
for a little girl
seeing her stepfather killed.
Later in life, I mean.
I want my mom.
She's up on the hill
with the baby.
- You're fucking my wife, is that it?
- Lisa, leave now.
(WHIMPERS)
- Shh.
Is that who you are, huh?
I knew it.
I fucking knew it!
Go ahead!
You can have her,
the little fucking slut!
Fuck you!
- Fuck you...
(GUNSHOTS)
So, tell me something
about you, Addison.
What do you want to know?
I don't know.
What do you do for a living?
Why are you always so serious?
Anything.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I was a boxer,
but it seems like
a long time ago now.
Like a boxer in the ring boxer?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, my dad trained me
since I was a kid.
Got me all the way
to the Beijing games.
Wow, you must have
been really good.
I won the silver medal.
- Is that it?
(LAUGHING)
You have it on you?
I don't usually,
but I happen to be today.
Can I...
Wow!
(GASPS) That is really cool.
It ain't the gold, but...
It's amazing.
I've never been good
at anything.
Here we go.
You're going to have to help.
Carry the baby.
This boy needs you, okay?
He can't make it without you.
Here you go.
Lisa, you can help
your mom and the baby
by getting in here
and getting under the covers
and cuddling up.
There you go.
Cuddle up real tight,
while I have a think
for a minute.
You know, Lisa,
I'm trying to imagine
how you must feel.
I think it would be
a complicated feeling.
I guess right now nothing
in the whole world seems safe.
Your stepdaddy's gone.
Your mom's sick.
And you're in the forest
with a stranger.
Ah!
What happened to your hand?
Well, I got into a fight
with a great Indian chief.
He cut my finger off.
Did you kill him?
Yes, I did.
Are you going to kill me?
No.
You're a child.
Children should be protected.
Angels protect me.
Maybe that's how
you should think of me.
I'm like an angel
come down from the storm
to remove that man
from your life.
? Which one is left ?
? Which one's in heaven ?
? Love ?
? It's easy come,
it's easy go... ?
Once you're up
at this cottage of yours
all by your lonesome,
what then?
I don't know.
I just need to think
for a while, you know?
I couldn't stand that.
I hate being alone.
It scares me, always has.
If you still want it,
I'll give you a lift
to the border.
I wish you hadn't
stopped for me.
I wish somebody else
had come along.
I wish I was somebody else.
? Love ?
? It's easy come,
it's easy go ?
? Love... ?
Just pretend, okay?
I'm not pretending.
Fuck me, Addison.
? 'Cause never mind ?
? 'Cause after all ?
? Love, love, love... ?
(GASPING)
So, what do you want
to be when you grow up?
A nurse.
Grandma Vicky is a nurse.
I always wanted to be a farmer.
We had a fruit farm.
Peaches mostly.
But my daddy was a drunk
and he ran it into the ground.
When I was a kid,
I always wanted to fix it up
and farm it just right.
(BABY FUSSING)
Can I change the baby?
Yeah.
Liza (ON PHONE):
Hey, it's me.
I'm at this place.
I'm stuck here for the night.
There's this guy.
He's the perfect ride.
His family lives
near the border.
I'm going to get him
to take me there.
The address is 207
Old Mills Farm Road, Bear Lake.
Can you make it there?
You'll make a great nurse.
I have a baby sister.
When we were kids, I used to
take care of her, just like you are.
Where is she now?
She's out there somewhere.
I think you should leave
your sister alone.
(CHATTER)
It's about Amy, my daughter.
- You know her.
- Sure.
She was a couple of years
ahead of me at school, but sure.
Please.
Then you know
she's always been afraid
to be without a man in her life.
It's probably because
of her dad and I.
We never...
Please, Mrs. Woodward,
tell me what happened.
She didn't come home
last night.
She was supposed
to come to my house...
she and the kids
and her husband Bobby.
He's a horrible man,
a violent man.
Do you know him?
We've had calls to their house
on a few occasions.
Well, she was going to ask him
for a divorce yesterday.
- Did you try calling?
- No.
They were at Bobby's
hunting cabin.
There's no phone there.
There's no nothing,
and it's out in the woods.
Could you please check on her?
Make sure... just tell me
everything's all right.
Make me feel like
a silly old mother.
Sure.
I'll be home around noon,
unless I'm tracking one.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
You've been pretty quiet
this morning.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
You know, parenting isn't easy,
Chet, not for anyone.
You make it look that way.
Well, just because I'm better
at hiding the hard parts.
And you're always graceful.
In case you get hungry.
I thought you said
your spurs were hung.
It's better to have and not need.
Okay, then.
Stay warm.
Don't tell me what to do.
(JUNE LAUGHS)
(DIALING)
It's getting light out.
Where are you?
Are you still alive?
I think I'd feel it if you died.
I mean, at least
I think I would.
I feel like I just have to...
I have to keep moving.
Addison?
(SOBBING)
Everything is just...
everything's getting so confusing.
That guy I told you about,
he turned out to be a real jerk.
He just disappeared
on me, so...
(SNIFFLES)
I'll find another way,
and I'll call you.
Or you call me.
Where are you?
Okay. Bye.
(LIZA LAUGHING)
(CHATTERING)
Hey! Hey!
Hey, buddy.
What's your problem?
I'll put you in a fucking coma!
Drive the fuck away!
- What are you doing?
- What does it look like?
- Last night was fun and all, but...
- But what?
- But it was just a game!
- That is bullshit and you know it.
Do I? You don't even
know my name.
So tell me.
What does it matter?
I could've been anybody.
It matters to me.
Why are you doing this?
(URINATING)
(GROANS)
Hey, Bill, you order breakfast?
- Come on, Travis.
(ZIPPER ZIPS)
What are you doing here, Hanna?
Becker will have your head.
Vicky Woodward is worried
about her daughter.
Their cabin's a couple
of miles from here.
Where's Becker?
Headed north about an hour ago
to meet with the state police.
TRAVIS: You want us
to come with you?
Not necessary.
No, it probably is.
(ENGINE REVVING)
(MOUTHS WORDS)
LIZA: When I was 10, I watched
my father bleed to death
in the weeds beside our house.
He pulled himself across
the yard with his arms,
screamed at me,
and then he died.
Someone shot him.
Want to know what I did next?
Washed him off
with the garden hose,
combed his hair,
sat beside him and waited
for someone to find me.
Who found you?
My brother.
He turned off the hose
and took me for a walk.
What happened then?
A lot of strangers
at our house, a lot of cops.
People trying to figure out
where to put me.
My father was a monster.
An animal.
And he died like one.
I'm supposed to be a grownup.
If I was someone else,
I could have a husband of my own,
be having my own babies.
Instead I'm all messed up.
Liza.
My name is Liza.
I'm Jay.
? Light shines off rivers ?
? Flowing through ?
? Every part of me wanting
every part of you ?
? Soft and simple veins
make a stain ?
? And find a drain ?
? If I was the one ?
? Maybe I could feel
your pain ?
? And the water boils
while the night is on fire ?
? I patiently wait
like a bird on a wire. ?
What's the matter, Hanna?
Why are we stopping?
Guys, it looks like
this was left here.
- Strange, huh?
- So what?
(SNOWMOBILES APPROACHING)
- Becker, do you copy?
- Hey, hey, what are you doing?
I'm calling it in to Becker
for backup.
Calling in what?
It's a snowmobile
and a hunting cabin.
While the two of you
have your little spat,
I'm just going to go
and do my job.
- We have to check it out.
- Okay, fine.
So we check it out, but don't go
calling Becker now for nothing.
Me and Brice are the ones
who are gonna end up in deep shit.
Becker told us to call.
I'm calling.
Becker, do you copy?
What the hell?
- You can't do that!
- Can't do what?
Such an asshole.
Hello! Bobby?
Hello?
(SHOTGUN CLICKS)
- It's the sheriff's office.
Hello!
You're going to get us
in trouble, Hanna.
I know it's early.
We'd just like
to have a quick word.
Oh, my God.
BRICE: Hello?
Brice!
Get away!
It's him!
(GUNSHOT)
TRAVIS: - Brice?
(BABY CRYING)
(GASPS)
- You're no angel at all.
No, I am not.
TRAVIS:
Brice, you all right?
Christ!
Hanna, get down!
TRAVIS:
Come on!
Oh, fuck!
(GUNSHOT)
(GRUNTING)
- You all right?
You're not even supposed
to be here, Hanna!
God damn it, Travis!
(GRUNTS)
(GROANING)
(SNOWMOBILE APPROACHING)
(GUNFIRE)
Travis!
(COUGHS)
LIZA: You know this is
my first snowman?
You're shitting me.
Ha, not a lot of snow
in Alabama.
One night when I was a kid,
the Northern Lights were out
and my dad and I made
these snowmen out in the pasture
like a boxing match...
two snow fighters
throwing punches.
I remember I didn't want
to go to bed that night.
My dad carried me
all the way back to the house.
When I got down
off the podium in Beijing,
he was so fucking proud of me.
And then later
in the dressing room,
I told him I was
leaving home to go pro.
I said to him...
I said if I had a real coach,
maybe I'd have won the gold.
He still love you?
Yeah, I guess, but...
Well, you're lucky.
You should see him.
If I was going to see him,
I'd like to introduce you.
It's Thanksgiving.
That's standard procedure.
You don't want me there,
Jay, seriously.
I seriously do.
What about Patricia?
Isn't she going to be there?
Who?
Now, don't tell me
there's no Patricia.
Who is she to you?
(SIGHS)
I'd rather not talk about her.
It's kind of personal.
I think I've told you
some personal things, Jay.
- Miss December.
- What?
Patricia is Miss December.
"Playboy", Christmas issue.
She's a centerfold?
A nudie picture?
(LAUGHING)
And did you two have
a meaningful relationship?
- We did.
(LAUGHING)
She was very understanding,
not too demanding.
And were you... were you
faithful to her, Jay?
I was.
She was my one and only.
She never let me down.
Hey, lovebirds!
Roads are open!
And to answer your question,
she probably won't be
at Thanksgiving dinner
at my parents' house.
Good.
Bitch better stay clear.
Guys!
Dad, I think I shot him.
I think he's wounded.
He's wearing a buckskin jacket
with a blackbird or an eagle.
At least I think
it's an eagle on the back...
BECKER:
Just shut your mouth.
- Dad!
- I said shut your mouth!
I told you to stay
out of the woods!
You see what happens
when you stick your nose in?
People start dying!
Where's Travis?
Afield, about 10 miles west.
He's dead?
If you were one of my boys,
I would hit you
so fucking hard.
If I were one of your boys,
you'd be proud of me.
(DOG BARKING)
I want everybody
the hell out of here.
All of you.
You hear me?
- But I can help...
- All of you!
(DOGS BARKING)
Shut up!
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
Chester Mills,
you'd better not be
- walking in here with your boots...
ADDISON: - Shh.
What's your name?
June.
June, put that pan down, please.
(TURNS OFF RADIO)
Is there anyone else
in the house, June?
No.
Step down and take a seat.
Who might come home, June?
My husband...
- Chet.
- Where is he?
Deer hunting.
He'll be armed?
With a rifle.
Why are you so calm?
A panicking woman
is no help to anyone.
I like you, June.
You do as I say, and I won't
hurt you or your family.
Thank you.
Would you mind op...
opening a window, please?
May I take a look at that?
Are you my mother?
I'm somebody's mother.
Ah, shit!
You'll live.
Well, that remains
to be determined, June,
but thank you.
Do not turn around.
Do exactly what I say.
Slowly put your hands
on your head,
interlocking your fingers.
To do that, I'd have
to take my hand
off the gun I have pointed
at June on the table,
which isn't going to happen.
He will shoot you, kiddo.
I don't think he will.
Don't try me, son.
No. He has too much to lose.
Sir, believe me when I say
that I genuinely like June.
So, for both of us,
would you please back down?
God damn it.
Open the rifle action
and put the gun on the floor.
(RIFLE CLICKS, BULLET CLINKS)
Take a seat beside your wife.
I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for.
Chet, is it?
How was the hunting?
You know, when I was a kid,
we had a Springfield 20 gauge.
We used to hunt
ducks and coons.
You bake pies
from scratch, June.
For Thanksgiving I do.
Oh, that's right.
It's Thanksgiving.
Would it be all right
if we went ahead
and served dinner?
It'd be really nice
to have a good meal.
- Are you out of your fucking mind?
- I would like that.
- Honey...
- Chet, we have to eat.
It will occupy us.
Keep things from getting
too crazy.
Thank you, June.
Don't thank me.
Chet shot the goose.
Well, thank you, Chet.
LIZA:
What are you looking for?
Nothing.
I'm just, uh...
Wondering if the police
are waiting for you?
I know what people are like
when they're on the run.
I fucked up.
It wasn't my fault, but...
I'm not going back to prison.
I can't.
Is it safe?
Who's that, June?
Oh, my God.
It's our son.
It's Jay.
ADDISON:
Well, well, well.
Careful.
The steps are icy.
- Hey, Mom.
- Jay.
On, Jay.
- I brought a guest.
- Jay, listen to me.
There's a man in our house
and he has a gun.
Don't!
Don't do anything.
He'll hurt your dad.
Please just... just come in,
both of you.
Dad, you okay?
I'm okay, son.
Good afternoon.
You must be Jay.
What do you want?
And this must be your wife.
- She's my friend.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, I think the lady
can speak for herself.
What's your name?
Liza.
Well, that's a nice name.
Take a seat.
Both of you.
The goose should be done soon.
Is that correct, June?
- Yes.
- Great.
I don't know about you all,
but I'm famished.
Chet, here.
Have some wine.
Take it away from me.
It's going straight to my head.
I need some food
and I need some sleep.
Besides, it's Thanksgiving.
Are you testing me, Jay?
Because that would be
a terrible idea.
(DOG BARKING)
(SOBBING)
Becker (ON RADIO):
This is Sheriff T. Becker,
requesting the state
police crime scene unit
and county coroner.
And be advised
we're losing daylight
and must stay
on the suspect?s trail.
HANNA:
Happy Thanksgiving, Mom.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
Yeah, this is the sheriff's office.
Hanna Becker speaking.
Sure.
Detective Frank Mack,
Detroit Police Department.
Say that again?
Oh. Yeah,
I know the family.
I know where they live.
A concussion?
So you need his statement.
Got it.
I'll go over there.
I'll let you know.
Happy holiday to you, too.
Jesus Christ.
June, do you say grace
at Thanksgiving?
We give thanks.
And how does that work?
We all go around, say something
we're thankful for.
An excellent idea.
Would you mind starting?
Please?
I'm thankful for this food,
for God's charity,
and for giving me
His two greatest men,
my husband and my son.
Well said.
Chet, you're next.
I'm thankful for June,
the love of my life.
(LAUGHS)
Wow, that was sweet, Chet!
How about your son?
What's wrong with him, hmm?
Let's ask him.
Jay, what are you grateful for?
It's none of your
fucking business.
No, you're missing
the point, Jay.
Well, I'm not going
to give you anything.
- Jay, it's your turn.
- Addison, please stop.
These people haven't done
anything to you.
You best watch
your mouth, little girl.
Don't you forget
where you belong.
Give thanks, Jay.
And you'd better say something
I know you really mean.
You think I'm afraid of you?
Look at you.
You're nothing without that gun.
What if this is your daddy's
last moment of life?
What do you want him
to take with him?
Jay. Please, honey.
(CRYING)
I'm sorry, Dad.
I messed everything up so bad.
That fight, they told me
it was the only way
they'd give me a shot at the title.
I laid down.
I let him beat me.
I don't deserve to be
sitting at your table.
This is your table, son.
And you're not the only one
who messed up.
(SIREN WAILING)
Once again, June,
the goose was really
quite wonderful.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to have
some more red wine.
I'm going to have some more
of your wife's homemade pie.
About the police.
I don't know, Chet.
I feel pretty good
just sitting here.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hey, it's Hanna.
Hanna Becker.
We know that officer.
She's a friend of the family.
Just dropping by
on Thanksgiving?
- I invited her.
- That slip your mind, June?
(KNOCKING)
Ask her in.
No.
Do it.
Come on in, Hanna.
Hey, everybody.
Sorry to interrupt.
I don't think
you know everyone.
- This is...
- I'm the killer.
The one you're all looking for.
I'm sorry, Hanna.
I didn't know what to do.
I wouldn't either.
Give me your belt.
Take a seat.
Go on.
June, would you please
serve some pie?
Do you want pumpkin or apple?
I'm going to have pumpkin.
Seems more appropriate
for the holidays.
So, Hanna, what are
you doing here?
Thank you.
It's Thanksgiving.
Don't you got anybody
of your own?
I'm here for Jay.
Hey.
- Long time.
- Yeah.
I got a call from
a detective in Detroit.
He needs to talk with you.
ADDISON:
Whoops.
You in trouble
with the police, Jay?
That's kind of embarrassing
for your folks.
I mean, this all seems
pretty wholesome.
What went wrong, buddy?
What are they after you for?
I'm dying to know.
I have something I'd like
to give thanks for.
What's that?
My brother.
Why?
Because when we were little,
he protected me
when I couldn't protect myself.
I was so young.
He thinks I can't remember,
but I remember all of it.
The sound of the gun,
the blood on my shoe.
My brother killed the devil.
He saved me from hell,
and I am forever thankful.
I love him so much for it.
But now I need a...
I need a chance.
I need a chance at my own life,
and I want
my brother's blessing.
I need him to please let me go.
Eat.
Eat!
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Hmm.
You two in love?
You think he loves you?
Do you think he loves you?
Look at me.
Look at me!
- Don't fucking touch her!
- Sit!
You put your hand on the table
where I can see it.
(SCREAMING)
- Stop it! Stop it!
Sit down!
Sit, June, sit!
God damn you to hell.
Addison, please.
Come on, let's just go.
- Just you and me.
- No, baby.
Come on, let's go right now.
Come on.
- We're way past that now.
- I'm your little girl.
No. Please.
Did you fuck her, Jay?
Did you?
You think he cares about you?
You look at your boyfriend now.
- Look at him!
- Please, God, no!
You look at your family.
You look what
you've done! Huh?

He's in rough shape.

? Drew my eyes open like ash ?
? Chimney smoke
through blades of grass ?
? And put on my black
work horse boots ?
? And headed past

? Past water lilies
over streams ?
? Rivers brown as coffee beans ?

? Through the kinks
in your spine ?
? From the last thing we spoke

? Love is something that
we couldn't help but do ?

the way it looked ?

I hit the floor ?
? The station tussled up
in flames ?
? But I could only read
the bottle's name ?
? And I waned its breast
and turned it dry ?
? Like the wake of summer
from July ?
? Got up and tripped

I remember hiding
in the orchard at night
looking down
at the lighted windows,
waiting for our daddy
to fall asleep
just so we could
go back inside.
Do you remember that, Liza?
Hmm?
Do you remember that?
I'd imagine him passing out
with one of his
Lucky Strikes in his hand,
the house catching fire,
the orchard,
the whole valley burning up.
So, how's it feel, Liza?
Your first big score?
I don't know.
Excited, nervous,
like I'm spying on someone,
someone doing something dirty.

He just has a hard time

comfortable tomorrow morning,
he'll be gone hunting.
We can talk about it then.

I'd hang on to it,
you know, for safekeeping.
Right.
Looks good on you, kid.
- When did you get out?
- Couple of hours ago.
Wow, you came straight here.
I'm honored.
Who tipped off the boxing
commission, Ronnie?
Hell if I know.
Well, how come I was the only one
that took the fall?
How come you were
never indicted?
A lot of questions.
I had a lot of time
to think of them.
I want the money you owe me.
How do you figure
I owe you money, kid?
- The fucking fight, Ronnie!
- Okay, I get it.
Remember, kid,
you were like a son to me.
I don't got a lot right now,
but I've got some.
Some's better than none, right?
It's not much,
but it's all I got right now.

Do you think you can come in here

- Hi, Sheriff Mills.
- Not me.
- My spurs are hung.
- Oh!
It's so good to see you guys.
- Seems like it's been forever.
- Look at you.
What a pretty young woman
you turned into.
You're the spitting
image of your mom.
I remember my mom and dad
used to take me here
for Thanksgiving
when I was little.
Jay and I used to always feed
all those leftover bones and things
to that big pig you guys had.
Jay was always
going on about...
CHET: So, uh, what brings you
out here now?
Oh, um, we actually
have a bad situation.
I wanted to give
you guys a heads up.
What do you mean by bad?
Late last night,
one of the tribal casinos
down in Mt. Pleasant
was robbed.
Two armed suspects
wearing masks.
Anyone hurt?
Around 6:00 this morning,
a state trooper came upon
an accident site
a ways south of us.
And when backup arrived,
they found the trooper shot to death.
Oh, my God.
One of the suspects
died in the crash.
At least one more took
to the national forest here.
We're setting up roadblocks
and sending in search teams,
but it is possible
he could slip through,
so we're just letting
all the families out here know.
Well, it's a huge area.
He'd never make it
this far north on foot.
And the temperature's
supposed to keep dropping.
I heard blizzard conditions.
I say let him freeze to death.
Coyotes will find him.
(BIRD CAWING)
What are you
looking at, Addison?
Pardon me.
It's okay to look.
Hush! The devil
will hear you.
What did I promise you
when we started this?
That no one would get hurt.
Well, I want you
to remember this...
you didn't hurt anyone.
I made the choice,
and now things are different.
Different how?
We're going to split up.
They don't know
anything about you.
- You were just a distraction.
- I don't like this plan.
- I didn't ask you if you liked it.
- We shouldn't split up!
Shh! Listen.
You follow that path
and then cut toward the road.
Use your wits.
Hitch a ride.
Keep heading north.
We can still make it to Canada.
But till then,
you don't know me any more.
I'm not your brother any more,
not until I let you know
it's okay.
Remember how I taught you?
Leave your phone on,
and I'll call you
tonight, okay?
You're my little girl.
Say it.
I'm your little girl.
That's good.
Here you go.
What if you don't call?
Well, then I'm dead.
HANNA: So do you have any plans
for Thanksgiving?
JUNE: No, just dinner.
How about you?
Any news from your mom, Hanna?
- You?
- No, sweetie. Not in a long time.
Well, it was really good
to see you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, you should stop by
tomorrow for dinner.
Oh, thanks.
You know, I...
I was going to ask my dad
if he had any plans,
see if he wanted to do
something together.
Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.

Everybody wears their vests.
If you come upon this guy,
call it in.
We all want to make it home
for turkey dinner.
Well, you keep talking, I'm not going
to make it for turkey dinner.
Travis, this morning
while you were fucking
that little rat you call a wife,
this guy shot a cop
in the face.
The cop's name
was Alan Townsend.
He served as a trooper
for 18 years.
That man is dead, gone forever.
All right, all right.
Take it easy. Sorry.
This is the real deal, boys.
You understand?
All right, now listen up.
Here's what we're going to do.
Travis, Brice, Bill,
you'll be with me heading west
from the accident site
toward the lake shore.
The other four of you
will be led by Denny.
You'll head east toward I-75.
Okay?
Let's get going,
What about me?
What about you?
- What team am I with?
- None.
- What do you mean?
- I mean you ain't going out.
- You can't do that.
- I'm responsible for these men's lives.
I'll do whatever the hell I see fit.
Besides, what if we got out there
and something major happened,
like you had to change
your tampon?
(CHATTER STOPS)
- No offense, Deputy.
Then I'd change it, Dad.
(CHATTER RESUMES)
Shit.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Coroner's going to probably be done
in about five minutes.
- Okay.
- Check in with him, will you?
Shit!
Miss.
- Miss, are you okay?
(SHIVERING)
Hey, hey.
Are you all right?
(HEATER BLOWING)
MAN:
Come on, old pain!
Ah, you no good mule!
Start, God damn you!
(ENGINE SPUTTERS)
- You rotten old pile of shit!
(GRUNTS) (ENGINE STARTS)
- Ha!
(SCREAMING)
I have a past wife
that comes to me in dreams.
She told me you'd be coming.
(GROANING, SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING)
LIZA: You can barely
see anything out there.
- Yeah. It's going into white-out.
- What?
When you can't see
what's right in front of you.
My car broke down.
I got lost.
You live around here?
My folks.
They live close to the border.
I'm just passing through.
You think you could
give me a lift?
No.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
I'll drop you at the next
gas station, all right?
(UNZIPS)
This is kind of like an old movie,
don't you think?
What is?
Us.
Two people meeting
in a snowstorm.
I guess.
What's your name?
What do you want it to be?
Come on, didn't you ever play
pretend when you were a kid?
We're strangers.
We can be whoever we want.
So, who am I?
- Come on, give me a name.
- Look, I'm sorry.
- I really don't...
- Shh.
Name me.
Patricia.
I like that.
Patricia, the bad girl.
(PHONE RINGING)
(KNOCKING)
The FBI Academy!
You passed the exam!
I'm so damn proud of you, honey.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
Hanna, you're going
to be an FBI agent
and you're finally getting
to leave this shit hole.
Turn around and look at me.
He's a son of a bitch, Hanna.
- Who?
- Who do you think?
The sheriff, your dad!
No. He's not that bad.
He doesn't really
mean it, you know?
It's just been hard for him
since my mom took off.
That was years ago, Hanna.
You're not actually
considering giving this up?
Why?
So you can take care of him?
I'm all he's got left.
This is from my heart, honey.
This is your life,
and you only get one.
(ENGINE SPUTTERING)
(ENGINE DIES)
(GRUNTING) (PULL CORD WHIRRING)
(SIZZLES)
- Ah!
(SIZZLING) (SCREAMING)
(HISSING) (GASPING)
(CHATTER)
(MUSIC PLAYING ON JUKEBOX)
Well, good luck.
Thanks for rescuing me.
Hey, folks.
Just to let you know,
state police were just here.
- They're closing the roads.
- Are you serious?
Full-on blizzard.
Plows can't get through
till the morning.
So batten down the hatches
and pull up a stool.
You're probably going
to be here all night.
I know I will.
- You got a phone?
- Oh, yeah.
Pay phone's in back by the can.
(TOUCH-TONES BEEPING)
(CHILDREN BABBLING)
Hey, it's me.
I'm at this place.
I'm stuck here for the night.
There's this guy.
He's the perfect ride.
His parents have a place
near the border.
I'm going to get him
to take me there.
The address is 207
Old Mills Farm Road, Bear Lake.
Can you make it there?
I hope you're okay.
Okay. Bye.
Hey, can I get you a drink?
- I'm okay.
- Ah, first one's on me.
Call it a snowstorm special.
You and your wife?
Oh, we'd love a drink.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Here you go.
My name's Patricia.
This is my husband Addison.
Addison?
That's a funny one.
It's his daddy's name.
You two married long?
No. We're pretty new at it.
Ah, thought so.
Still got the glow.
Well, my name's Mandy
and this is my bar.
Got it in the divorce.
Never used to come in here
when he ran the place,
- but now I love it.
WOMAN: - Hey, Mandy!
Now, how about bringing us
some more pitchers, huh?
My ex-sister-in-law Tricia.
Listen, honey.
You can pick the guy.
You just can't pick the family.
(WHISTLING) (COUPLE ARGUING)
(ARGUMENT CONTINUES)
(GLASS SHATTERS) (WOMAN SHOUTS)
(MAN SHOUTING)
(WOMAN CRYING) Come here!
Come to Mommy!
Come here!
- Lisa, get back here!
- Stop it! No!
MAN: - No!
WOMAN: - Lisa, come.
(BABY WAILING)
WOMAN: - Come here, baby.
Come here, come here.
No, stop it!
MAN: Lisa, you get your ass
back in the cabin
if you know
what's good for you!
Come to Mommy.
Come to me.
- No. No!
- That goes for your mother, too,
or I'll be hunting
more than deer tomorrow!
You're not going anywhere!
There's nothing for miles!
That baby's going to freeze!
I'll be waiting!
WOMAN: - No!
(BABY WAILING)
(CRYING)
Don't you move.
Take your coat and go outside.
- Who are you...
- Shut your mouth!
Liza, get outside now.
Her name's Lisa.
She only does what I tell her.
You'll be dead before
your hand touches it.
Lisa, your mom's up
on the hill with the baby.
She's very cold
and she needs your help.
You need to take her
something warm.
You stay right there, Lisa.
He ain't got the guts
to do it in front of you.
Probably wouldn't be good
for a little girl
seeing her stepfather killed.
Later in life, I mean.
I want my mom.
She's up on the hill
with the baby.
- You're fucking my wife, is that it?
- Lisa, leave now.
(WHIMPERS)
- Shh.
Is that who you are, huh?
I knew it.
I fucking knew it!
Go ahead!
You can have her,
the little fucking slut!
Fuck you!
- Fuck you...
(GUNSHOTS)
So, tell me something
about you, Addison.
What do you want to know?
I don't know.
What do you do for a living?
Why are you always so serious?
Anything.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I was a boxer,
but it seems like
a long time ago now.
Like a boxer in the ring boxer?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, my dad trained me
since I was a kid.
Got me all the way
to the Beijing games.
Wow, you must have
been really good.
I won the silver medal.
- Is that it?
(LAUGHING)
You have it on you?
I don't usually,
but I happen to be today.
Can I...
Wow!
(GASPS) That is really cool.
It ain't the gold, but...
It's amazing.
I've never been good
at anything.
Here we go.
You're going to have to help.
Carry the baby.
This boy needs you, okay?
He can't make it without you.
Here you go.
Lisa, you can help
your mom and the baby
by getting in here
and getting under the covers
and cuddling up.
There you go.
Cuddle up real tight,
while I have a think
for a minute.
You know, Lisa,
I'm trying to imagine
how you must feel.
I think it would be
a complicated feeling.
I guess right now nothing
in the whole world seems safe.
Your stepdaddy's gone.
Your mom's sick.
And you're in the forest
with a stranger.
Ah!
What happened to your hand?
Well, I got into a fight
with a great Indian chief.
He cut my finger off.
Did you kill him?
Yes, I did.
Are you going to kill me?
No.
You're a child.
Children should be protected.
Angels protect me.
Maybe that's how
you should think of me.
I'm like an angel
come down from the storm
to remove that man
from your life.
? Which one is left ?
? Which one's in heaven ?
? Love ?
? It's easy come,
it's easy go... ?
Once you're up
at this cottage of yours
all by your lonesome,
what then?
I don't know.
I just need to think
for a while, you know?
I couldn't stand that.
I hate being alone.
It scares me, always has.
If you still want it,
I'll give you a lift
to the border.
I wish you hadn't
stopped for me.
I wish somebody else
had come along.
I wish I was somebody else.
? Love ?
? It's easy come,
it's easy go ?
? Love... ?
Just pretend, okay?
I'm not pretending.
Fuck me, Addison.
? 'Cause never mind ?
? 'Cause after all ?
? Love, love, love... ?
(GASPING)
So, what do you want
to be when you grow up?
A nurse.
Grandma Vicky is a nurse.
I always wanted to be a farmer.
We had a fruit farm.
Peaches mostly.
But my daddy was a drunk
and he ran it into the ground.
When I was a kid,
I always wanted to fix it up
and farm it just right.
(BABY FUSSING)
Can I change the baby?
Yeah.
Liza (ON PHONE):
Hey, it's me.
I'm at this place.
I'm stuck here for the night.
There's this guy.
He's the perfect ride.
His family lives
near the border.
I'm going to get him
to take me there.
The address is 207
Old Mills Farm Road, Bear Lake.
Can you make it there?
You'll make a great nurse.
I have a baby sister.
When we were kids, I used to
take care of her, just like you are.
Where is she now?
She's out there somewhere.
I think you should leave
your sister alone.
(CHATTER)
It's about Amy, my daughter.
- You know her.
- Sure.
She was a couple of years
ahead of me at school, but sure.
Please.
Then you know
she's always been afraid
to be without a man in her life.
It's probably because
of her dad and I.
We never...
Please, Mrs. Woodward,
tell me what happened.
She didn't come home
last night.
She was supposed
to come to my house...
she and the kids
and her husband Bobby.
He's a horrible man,
a violent man.
Do you know him?
We've had calls to their house
on a few occasions.
Well, she was going to ask him
for a divorce yesterday.
- Did you try calling?
- No.
They were at Bobby's
hunting cabin.
There's no phone there.
There's no nothing,
and it's out in the woods.
Could you please check on her?
Make sure... just tell me
everything's all right.
Make me feel like
a silly old mother.
Sure.
I'll be home around noon,
unless I'm tracking one.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
You've been pretty quiet
this morning.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
You know, parenting isn't easy,
Chet, not for anyone.
You make it look that way.
Well, just because I'm better
at hiding the hard parts.
And you're always graceful.
In case you get hungry.
I thought you said
your spurs were hung.
It's better to have and not need.
Okay, then.
Stay warm.
Don't tell me what to do.
(JUNE LAUGHS)
(DIALING)
It's getting light out.
Where are you?
Are you still alive?
I think I'd feel it if you died.
I mean, at least
I think I would.
I feel like I just have to...
I have to keep moving.
Addison?
(SOBBING)
Everything is just...
everything's getting so confusing.
That guy I told you about,
he turned out to be a real jerk.
He just disappeared
on me, so...
(SNIFFLES)
I'll find another way,
and I'll call you.
Or you call me.
Where are you?
Okay. Bye.
(LIZA LAUGHING)
(CHATTERING)
Hey! Hey!
Hey, buddy.
What's your problem?
I'll put you in a fucking coma!
Drive the fuck away!
- What are you doing?
- What does it look like?
- Last night was fun and all, but...
- But what?
- But it was just a game!
- That is bullshit and you know it.
Do I? You don't even
know my name.
So tell me.
What does it matter?
I could've been anybody.
It matters to me.
Why are you doing this?
(URINATING)
(GROANS)
Hey, Bill, you order breakfast?
- Come on, Travis.
(ZIPPER ZIPS)
What are you doing here, Hanna?
Becker will have your head.
Vicky Woodward is worried
about her daughter.
Their cabin's a couple
of miles from here.
Where's Becker?
Headed north about an hour ago
to meet with the state police.
TRAVIS: You want us
to come with you?
Not necessary.
No, it probably is.
(ENGINE REVVING)
(MOUTHS WORDS)
LIZA: When I was 10, I watched
my father bleed to death
in the weeds beside our house.
He pulled himself across
the yard with his arms,
screamed at me,
and then he died.
Someone shot him.
Want to know what I did next?
Washed him off
with the garden hose,
combed his hair,
sat beside him and waited
for someone to find me.
Who found you?
My brother.
He turned off the hose
and took me for a walk.
What happened then?
A lot of strangers
at our house, a lot of cops.
People trying to figure out
where to put me.
My father was a monster.
An animal.
And he died like one.
I'm supposed to be a grownup.
If I was someone else,
I could have a husband of my own,
be having my own babies.
Instead I'm all messed up.
Liza.
My name is Liza.
I'm Jay.
? Light shines off rivers ?
? Flowing through ?
? Every part of me wanting
every part of you ?
? Soft and simple veins
make a stain ?
? And find a drain ?
? If I was the one ?
? Maybe I could feel
your pain ?
? And the water boils
while the night is on fire ?
? I patiently wait
like a bird on a wire. ?
What's the matter, Hanna?
Why are we stopping?
Guys, it looks like
this was left here.
- Strange, huh?
- So what?
(SNOWMOBILES APPROACHING)
- Becker, do you copy?
- Hey, hey, what are you doing?
I'm calling it in to Becker
for backup.
Calling in what?
It's a snowmobile
and a hunting cabin.
While the two of you
have your little spat,
I'm just going to go
and do my job.
- We have to check it out.
- Okay, fine.
So we check it out, but don't go
calling Becker now for nothing.
Me and Brice are the ones
who are gonna end up in deep shit.
Becker told us to call.
I'm calling.
Becker, do you copy?
What the hell?
- You can't do that!
- Can't do what?
Such an asshole.
Hello! Bobby?
Hello?
(SHOTGUN CLICKS)
- It's the sheriff's office.
Hello!
You're going to get us
in trouble, Hanna.
I know it's early.
We'd just like
to have a quick word.
Oh, my God.
BRICE: Hello?
Brice!
Get away!
It's him!
(GUNSHOT)
TRAVIS: - Brice?
(BABY CRYING)
(GASPS)
- You're no angel at all.
No, I am not.
TRAVIS:
Brice, you all right?
Christ!
Hanna, get down!
TRAVIS:
Come on!
Oh, fuck!
(GUNSHOT)
(GRUNTING)
- You all right?
You're not even supposed
to be here, Hanna!
God damn it, Travis!
(GRUNTS)
(GROANING)
(SNOWMOBILE APPROACHING)
(GUNFIRE)
Travis!
(COUGHS)
LIZA: You know this is
my first snowman?
You're shitting me.
Ha, not a lot of snow
in Alabama.
One night when I was a kid,
the Northern Lights were out
and my dad and I made
these snowmen out in the pasture
like a boxing match...
two snow fighters
throwing punches.
I remember I didn't want
to go to bed that night.
My dad carried me
all the way back to the house.
When I got down
off the podium in Beijing,
he was so fucking proud of me.
And then later
in the dressing room,
I told him I was
leaving home to go pro.
I said to him...
I said if I had a real coach,
maybe I'd have won the gold.
He still love you?
Yeah, I guess, but...
Well, you're lucky.
You should see him.
If I was going to see him,
I'd like to introduce you.
It's Thanksgiving.
That's standard procedure.
You don't want me there,
Jay, seriously.
I seriously do.
What about Patricia?
Isn't she going to be there?
Who?
Now, don't tell me
there's no Patricia.
Who is she to you?
(SIGHS)
I'd rather not talk about her.
It's kind of personal.
I think I've told you
some personal things, Jay.
- Miss December.
- What?
Patricia is Miss December.
"Playboy", Christmas issue.
She's a centerfold?
A nudie picture?
(LAUGHING)
And did you two have
a meaningful relationship?
- We did.
(LAUGHING)
She was very understanding,
not too demanding.
And were you... were you
faithful to her, Jay?
I was.
She was my one and only.
She never let me down.
Hey, lovebirds!
Roads are open!
And to answer your question,
she probably won't be
at Thanksgiving dinner
at my parents' house.
Good.
Bitch better stay clear.
Guys!
Dad, I think I shot him.
I think he's wounded.
He's wearing a buckskin jacket
with a blackbird or an eagle.
At least I think
it's an eagle on the back...
BECKER:
Just shut your mouth.
- Dad!
- I said shut your mouth!
I told you to stay
out of the woods!
You see what happens
when you stick your nose in?
People start dying!
Where's Travis?
Afield, about 10 miles west.
He's dead?
If you were one of my boys,
I would hit you
so fucking hard.
If I were one of your boys,
you'd be proud of me.
(DOG BARKING)
I want everybody
the hell out of here.
All of you.
You hear me?
- But I can help...
- All of you!
(DOGS BARKING)
Shut up!
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
Chester Mills,
you'd better not be
- walking in here with your boots...
ADDISON: - Shh.
What's your name?
June.
June, put that pan down, please.
(TURNS OFF RADIO)
Is there anyone else
in the house, June?
No.
Step down and take a seat.
Who might come home, June?
My husband...
- Chet.
- Where is he?
Deer hunting.
He'll be armed?
With a rifle.
Why are you so calm?
A panicking woman
is no help to anyone.
I like you, June.
You do as I say, and I won't
hurt you or your family.
Thank you.
Would you mind op...
opening a window, please?
May I take a look at that?
Are you my mother?
I'm somebody's mother.
Ah, shit!
You'll live.
Well, that remains
to be determined, June,
but thank you.
Do not turn around.
Do exactly what I say.
Slowly put your hands
on your head,
interlocking your fingers.
To do that, I'd have
to take my hand
off the gun I have pointed
at June on the table,
which isn't going to happen.
He will shoot you, kiddo.
I don't think he will.
Don't try me, son.
No. He has too much to lose.
Sir, believe me when I say
that I genuinely like June.
So, for both of us,
would you please back down?
God damn it.
Open the rifle action
and put the gun on the floor.
(RIFLE CLICKS, BULLET CLINKS)
Take a seat beside your wife.
I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for.
Chet, is it?
How was the hunting?
You know, when I was a kid,
we had a Springfield 20 gauge.
We used to hunt
ducks and coons.
You bake pies
from scratch, June.
For Thanksgiving I do.
Oh, that's right.
It's Thanksgiving.
Would it be all right
if we went ahead
and served dinner?
It'd be really nice
to have a good meal.
- Are you out of your fucking mind?
- I would like that.
- Honey...
- Chet, we have to eat.
It will occupy us.
Keep things from getting
too crazy.
Thank you, June.
Don't thank me.
Chet shot the goose.
Well, thank you, Chet.
LIZA:
What are you looking for?
Nothing.
I'm just, uh...
Wondering if the police
are waiting for you?
I know what people are like
when they're on the run.
I fucked up.
It wasn't my fault, but...
I'm not going back to prison.
I can't.
Is it safe?
Who's that, June?
Oh, my God.
It's our son.
It's Jay.
ADDISON:
Well, well, well.
Careful.
The steps are icy.
- Hey, Mom.
- Jay.
On, Jay.
- I brought a guest.
- Jay, listen to me.
There's a man in our house
and he has a gun.
Don't!
Don't do anything.
He'll hurt your dad.
Please just... just come in,
both of you.
Dad, you okay?
I'm okay, son.
Good afternoon.
You must be Jay.
What do you want?
And this must be your wife.
- She's my friend.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, I think the lady
can speak for herself.
What's your name?
Liza.
Well, that's a nice name.
Take a seat.
Both of you.
The goose should be done soon.
Is that correct, June?
- Yes.
- Great.
I don't know about you all,
but I'm famished.
Chet, here.
Have some wine.
Take it away from me.
It's going straight to my head.
I need some food
and I need some sleep.
Besides, it's Thanksgiving.
Are you testing me, Jay?
Because that would be
a terrible idea.
(DOG BARKING)
(SOBBING)
Becker (ON RADIO):
This is Sheriff T. Becker,
requesting the state
police crime scene unit
and county coroner.
And be advised
we're losing daylight
and must stay
on the suspect?s trail.
HANNA:
Happy Thanksgiving, Mom.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
Yeah, this is the sheriff's office.
Hanna Becker speaking.
Sure.
Detective Frank Mack,
Detroit Police Department.
Say that again?
Oh. Yeah,
I know the family.
I know where they live.
A concussion?
So you need his statement.
Got it.
I'll go over there.
I'll let you know.
Happy holiday to you, too.
Jesus Christ.
June, do you say grace
at Thanksgiving?
We give thanks.
And how does that work?
We all go around, say something
we're thankful for.
An excellent idea.
Would you mind starting?
Please?
I'm thankful for this food,
for God's charity,
and for giving me
His two greatest men,
my husband and my son.
Well said.
Chet, you're next.
I'm thankful for June,
the love of my life.
(LAUGHS)
Wow, that was sweet, Chet!
How about your son?
What's wrong with him, hmm?
Let's ask him.
Jay, what are you grateful for?
It's none of your
fucking business.
No, you're missing
the point, Jay.
Well, I'm not going
to give you anything.
- Jay, it's your turn.
- Addison, please stop.
These people haven't done
anything to you.
You best watch
your mouth, little girl.
Don't you forget
where you belong.
Give thanks, Jay.
And you'd better say something
I know you really mean.
You think I'm afraid of you?
Look at you.
You're nothing without that gun.
What if this is your daddy's
last moment of life?
What do you want him
to take with him?
Jay. Please, honey.
(CRYING)
I'm sorry, Dad.
I messed everything up so bad.
That fight, they told me
it was the only way
they'd give me a shot at the title.
I laid down.
I let him beat me.
I don't deserve to be
sitting at your table.
This is your table, son.
And you're not the only one
who messed up.
(SIREN WAILING)
Once again, June,
the goose was really
quite wonderful.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to have
some more red wine.
I'm going to have some more
of your wife's homemade pie.
About the police.
I don't know, Chet.
I feel pretty good
just sitting here.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hey, it's Hanna.
Hanna Becker.
We know that officer.
She's a friend of the family.
Just dropping by
on Thanksgiving?
- I invited her.
- That slip your mind, June?
(KNOCKING)
Ask her in.
No.
Do it.
Come on in, Hanna.
Hey, everybody.
Sorry to interrupt.
I don't think
you know everyone.
- This is...
- I'm the killer.
The one you're all looking for.
I'm sorry, Hanna.
I didn't know what to do.
I wouldn't either.
Give me your belt.
Take a seat.
Go on.
June, would you please
serve some pie?
Do you want pumpkin or apple?
I'm going to have pumpkin.
Seems more appropriate
for the holidays.
So, Hanna, what are
you doing here?
Thank you.
It's Thanksgiving.
Don't you got anybody
of your own?
I'm here for Jay.
Hey.
- Long time.
- Yeah.
I got a call from
a detective in Detroit.
He needs to talk with you.
ADDISON:
Whoops.
You in trouble
with the police, Jay?
That's kind of embarrassing
for your folks.
I mean, this all seems
pretty wholesome.
What went wrong, buddy?
What are they after you for?
I'm dying to know.
I have something I'd like
to give thanks for.
What's that?
My brother.
Why?
Because when we were little,
he protected me
when I couldn't protect myself.
I was so young.
He thinks I can't remember,
but I remember all of it.
The sound of the gun,
the blood on my shoe.
My brother killed the devil.
He saved me from hell,
and I am forever thankful.
I love him so much for it.
But now I need a...
I need a chance.
I need a chance at my own life,
and I want
my brother's blessing.
I need him to please let me go.
Eat.
Eat!
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Hmm.
You two in love?
You think he loves you?
Do you think he loves you?
Look at me.
Look at me!
- Don't fucking touch her!
- Sit!
You put your hand on the table
where I can see it.
(SCREAMING)
- Stop it! Stop it!
Sit down!
Sit, June, sit!
God damn you to hell.
Addison, please.
Come on, let's just go.
- Just you and me.
- No, baby.
Come on, let's go right now.
Come on.
- We're way past that now.
- I'm your little girl.
No. Please.
Did you fuck her, Jay?
Did you?
You think he cares about you?
You look at your boyfriend now.
- Look at him!
- Please, God, no!
You look at your family.
You look what
you've done! Huh?

Dad, the living room.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm glad you could make it.
(JUNE SCREAMING) Don't!

(GUNSHOT)
(ROARING)
(GASPING, WHEEZING)
LIZA:
Jay!
Please!
Please.
He's my brother.

Yes, I do.
(GUNSHOTS)
OFFICER:
Sheriff Mills! To the right!
OFFICER 2: - You take the girl. Go!
OFFICER 3: - I got her.
(CRYING) Addison...
Ma'am. Ma'am.
Get him out of here!
Ma'am, I need you to get back.
Please, I need you to get back.
Ma'am.
Get an ambulance!
Come on.
That's it.
That other officer, the sheriff,
wasn't wearing a vest.
He's in rough shape.
Do you know who
his next of kin is?
ADDISON'S VOICE:
What would home look like?
I don't know.
A farmhouse in the valley,
I guess,
like the one we grew up in,
Liza and I.

? All of my trains ?
? They all roll on by ?
? Now and again ?
? I remember who I am ?
? Well, I woke outside
to three's a crowd ?
? The sun above
was festering down ?
? Drew my eyes open like ash ?
? Chimney smoke
through blades of grass ?
? And put on my black
work horse boots ?
? And headed past
the business suits ?
? Past water lilies
over streams ?
? Rivers brown as coffee beans ?
? Pistol visions in my hands ?
? I wanna see my blood
across the sand ?
? Morning always
looked like you ?
? Morning always
looked like you ?
? From my window
the only view ?
? Is you walking away,
not looking ?
(VOCALIZING)
? All of my trains ?
? My life spent away ?
? In the dark of my veins ?
? Oh, nothing could stay ?
? I continued through
a backlit world ?
? Where the willows bent
like long black curls ?
? Down your face from mine ?
? Through the kinks
in your spine ?
? From the last thing we spoke
to the very first line ?
? Love is something that
we couldn't help but do ?
? That something turned
to someone else ?
? Somebody new ?
? I just loved to love
and you loved to cry ?
? I meant it
through each second ?
? That we said good-bye ?
? And I came up past a station ?
? Where the floors were all blue ?
? Something 'bout
the way it looked ?
? Reminded me of you ?
? It might have been
how far I'd come ?
? So I dropped a match
until the floor was gone ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? Then I lit the thread
across the station door ?
? Kentucky Straight,
I hit the floor ?
? The station tussled up
in flames ?
? But I could only read
the bottle's name ?
? And I waned its breast
and turned it dry ?
? Like the wake of summer
from July ?
? Got up and tripped
over my knees ?
? Which caved in
at the slightest breeze ?
? Morning always
looked like you ?
? Morning always looked
like you ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I thought you should know ?
? I thought you should know ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I let them all go ?
? All of my trains ?
? I thought
you should know. ?
