Ice Blue (2017) - full transcript

Morning Arielle.

Hi Dad.

Close your eyes.

I'm off to the pond.

OK.

You OK?

Uh huh,
slow pokey.

My little baby.

I'll see
you in a minute.

OK.

Love you.



Love you.

♪ Oh the shark has
pretty teeth dear ♪

♪ And he keeps
them pearly white ♪

♪ Just a ♪

OK.

I had to hide
it from Arielle.

These things are
like family to her.

Just a
wee kid.

Well I might have
something leeching into my

water killing
off my stock.

Uh huh.

It's already been a tough
year for the business.

Water tests should
tell us everything.

But how hard can a
beaver autopsy be?



♪ Oh the line forms
on the right babe ♪

♪ Now that Macky's
back in town ♪

These clouds are.

Good morning.

Goats love
show tunes.

I beg
your pardon?

Nothing.

Here,
eggs and your milk.

Were you wanting
cheese today?

I've got
fresh curds.

Another time,
perhaps.

Christian.

My nephew, Christian.

He's staying with me
for, well, we'll see.

Your father
at the house?

I'll just
go pay him.

We have another
matter to discuss.

You two talk.

Wanna see a
dead raccoon?

How'd it die?

Well sir,
that's the mystery.

Sir?

You're weird.

My aunt says
you're home schooled.

So what's
wrong with you?

Hello?

Jonathan?

I have your payment
for this week's dairy.

Thank you.

Was there
anything else?

I'm a touch
embarrassed to say,

I had a bit of a spill
out there, on your walkway.

I'm sorry.

Where's it hurt?

Yeah.

That seems OK.

Just OK?

She's occupied.

I'm sorry.

I'll be sure to salt the
driveway more diligently.

So why are
you here?

Where'd you
come from?

I traveled through time and
space and risked life and limb

to be here
right now with you.

The city.

Pushed my mom to the brink, and
then I was sent to Auntie Liz's

scared straight farm, or
whatnot, for delinquents.

You know the girls at school,
they aren't like you.

What are
they like?

Manufactured,
plastic, digitized.

You're weird.

Tell me to
stop then.

St-.

Ugh.

I'll leave a light on for you,
in case you change your mind.

You've been alone
a long time, Jon.

We both have.

Jon.

Christian,
are you OK?

Nepal.

Bouton.

No, listen to me,
George Leigh Mallory.

First discovered on
the Everest expedition.

It's Nepal,
I'm telling you.

Bet me.

Name it.

Chicken
coup cleaning.

Deal,
two weeks.

A month.

Flickered out,
Daddio?

Nope.

Oh, hmmmm.

You are correct, Arielle,
and I was wrong.

Next time though, sweetie,
always get a handshake on bets.

Ow.

Hi ya!

Hi ya!

You know there's still time to
pull together a party for you.

It's fine, Dad.

Yeah, but it's
your sweet sixteen.

If you say sweet
sixteen one more time,

you are gonna
get a karate chop.

Alright, I think I
learned my lesson there.

So what's this
Christian boy like?

Dark.

Something out of
a detective novel.

Smells nice
enough though.

Did
something happen?

No.

We're always straight
with each other.

I know, Dad.

Not about this,
please don't make me.

I'd never
make you.

OK, good, because I cannot
talk about this with you.

You can't talk to me about the
nothing that didn't happen?

Correct.

Chuck's
not ready.

We shouldn't
have brought him.

Chuck, Chuck
will be fine.

Look at his eyes.

Tell me with a clear
conscience he looks fine.

You're a
caring soul.

They're not pets,
they're workers.

They work for us.

They're our
livelihood.

Let's go.

Chuck,
take care of Dorisa.

You're not
gonna fall in.

Arielle, you're
not gonna fall in.

Sweetie, one of the new
babies, he didn't make it.

Is that why
the biologist guy?

Yeah.

I want to see Mom
for my birthday.

That's
what I want.

You have a way to get
a hold of her, right?

Yeah, I think so.

You know, last
time we tried that.

Yeah, I know,
she bailed.

Whatever,
that was years ago.

I really want
to see her, Dad.

You sure?

I need
you to try.

Sure.

I need to take a run
over to Mr. Dhaliwal's farm.

I'll be back
before you're asleep.

Arielle, please, it
was just a nightmare.

No, it was different this time,
there was a creepy little girl.

Creepy little girl,
scary old lady, crazy mime.

No.

You're not
taking me seriously.

Look, I know
what this is about.

I know you don't
like being alone.

That's not true.

After dark.

I'll be back
before dark.

♪ Lots of people gather
round, here the goat remains ♪

Ugh, God,
come on.

See you
later, Jon.

Ah.

Ugh.

Jeez.

Sweetie, you there?

Sweetie, you there?

Happy Daddio,
what's the hold up?

I'm stuck in a white
out, I might be a minute.

What,
are you OK?

Sweetie,
can you hear me?

Piece of crap.

Piece of junk.

Hi, you've reached
Jonathan Ens at MAJ Farms.

Dad?

Christian, go away,
leave me alone.

♪ Cause Mackie's back ♪

Surprise.

Happy
sixteenth birthday.

My
darling Arielle.

Come on, long lost mother shows
up on your sixteenth birthday,

that's like something
out of a storybook.

I was under the impression
you asked for me to be here.

Dad got a
hold of you.

Was he not
supposed to?

Thanks for coming.

I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.

I got three
stitches right there.

Ouch.

Yeah,
that's a good one.

OK, and then I got kicked
by a horse right here.

And then, you check
this scar out on my back.

That is very impressive
dear, OK, you've been busy.

Klutzy.

You get
that from me.

Do I?

There will be plenty of time
to answer every one of your

million
trillion questions.

But for now,
just one.

Where
have you been?

Almost everywhere.

Did you
miss me?

That's two.

Mom.

So much you
don't even know.

So you had
a boyfriend?

Ha, no!

No?

No.

Well, I almost, there's this boy
but he's not very right for me.

Why?

He's trouble.

Trouble, isn't that what
being a teenager's all about?

What's he like?

Intense.

Confident.

I'm pretty sure he left a
dead racoon on the porch.

I beg
your pardon?

He did what?

I should try Dad again on
the CB and see if he's OK.

I wish
you wouldn't.

Why not?

Try and
understand, OK?

This is a lot.

But he should
know you're here.

I know, I'm just, I'm
not ready to see him, OK?

I thought I was, but being
here, baby steps, OK?

OK.

OK.

But wait, Mom,
you just got here.

Yeah, no, I got a hotel
room nearby in Fairview.

I'm not
going anywhere.

I will see
you again soon.

I promise.

OK Mom.

Thanks.

This was nice.

I love you
my dear.

So, so much.

Happy Birthday.

Thanks.

I love you too.

So cake for breakfast, is
it everything you hoped for?

You getting home safely,
that was the best gift of all.

Yeah, so weird, snow
kicking up like that.

And you here alone at
night, and you survived.

How'd
you do it?

Just kept
busy I guess.

I'll get it,
you stay.

You sure?

Uh huh.

I'm sorry I couldn't give
you everything you asked for.

Your mother,
I tried, I really did.

Her number's not
in service anymore,

I sent some
emails, no answer.

That's OK Dad.

What, how did you
know which room?

I didn't.

Let's go out.

You're asking
me out now?

Right now.

And do what?

OK, there's these kids at school
and they hang out at this vacant

lot and drink alcoholic liquor
and indulge in youthful

rebellion, so let's steal their
booze and set something on fire.

Yeah, I think you left a
gift on my porch last night.

I didn't want you
to forget about me,

and jewelry is just so
gouache, don't you agree?

What is your most
immediate problem?

You not getting ready and not
coming out with me, come on.

I can't just leave,
my Dad is.

If my aunt catches me I'm
straight off to juvie,

so you see what
I'm risking for you?

I promise I'll bring
you back safe and sound.

Oh my God.

New guy.

I told them
you'd come.

Hey Deb,
how are you?

I'm Bronwyn.

I know,
this is.

Hey, you need to
meet my man Jay.

He's got that busted motorcycle
you said you could fix up,

remember?

Hey, you came with
Christian right?

He's pretty God damn
hot, and nice, score.

I'm Hailey, or Hales, or Hey.

I know you.

From where?

I'm Arielle Ens.

We were on the
curling team together.

Oh my God, that
was like forever ago.

Hi.

Are you still
being home schooled?

Does it
like suck?

I'm super buzzed on this
maple cough syrup punch

that Bronwyn made,
it is sick as thieves.

Do you want some?

Bronnie, get over
here you dumb bitch.

She's my BFF.

This is
Arielle.

I know
who you are.

Do you
know who I am?

I'm Tim
Bateman's daughter.

OK,
I don't know him.

Yeah, well your
Mom knew him.

Excuse me.

Your mom knew my dad,
like on her back knew him.

It was her mom.

I swear I don't
know what you're.

You need to get out
of here seconds ago.

I don't know.

Too late.

I'll wreck you.

Ha ha!

I shouldn't have left
you alone back there.

I'm sorry.

Hey, what
are you doing?

My mom and I, we used
to write music and sing.

It calms me.

Cool, yeah.

I play a
little harmonica.

Oh that's great,
we should start a band.

I really don't
care right now.

That's fair.

That girl said my
mom and her dad.

Forget what she said, she's
a soulless wannabe bar star.

Where is
your mom?

She.

She moved away.

A long time ago.

She wasn't, she wasn't
good at the mom stuff.

She was an artist,
a photographer,

musician,
traveled a lot.

Even if, if that went down, it's
got nothing to do with you, OK?

Hey, Arielle.

Shit.

Who's the girl?

Who was
the girl?

Calling the cops
was a bit extreme.

You can't even
grasp how worried.

Why did
you go out?

Because he
wanted me to.

No boy ever
looked at me like that.

OK.

OK, regardless I'm
still gonna have to.

Punish me,
ground me, whatever.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm so grateful
that you're safe.

If anything ever
happened to you.

I can't even imagine.

Come on,
it's freezing out here.

So, how in
shit are you?

I can't see
you anymore.

Did he say that?

I'm saying it.

I can't.

I can't do that
to him again.

But that doesn't
mean that we can't.

I can't trust
being around you.

I'm not myself.

Maybe you are.

Afternoon.

That'll
be $4.50.

And 50 cents
is your change.

You have a
good day now.

Thank you.

Tim Bateman,
is he the owner?

I suppose.

Is he here?

Could I talk
to him quickly?

Sweetheart,
Tim's my husband.

Passed away
some time ago.

What was it?

I made a
mistake, sorry.

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

Hey,
perfect timing.

Can we go?

I have homework.

Where's your
lady stuff?

They were out.

Oh, are you
kidding me?

What is it?

It's a joke.

Before you say anything

What are
you doing?

Let me out,
you psycho.

I didn't want to spook you, but
I thought this was the only way.

I'm sorry we got pulled over,
but I don't understand why we

can't, I mean, I
really, really like you.

No, you don't, you
don't like me, OK?

The hell I don't.

No, I'm a novelty, I'm a weird
homeschool shut in chick.

Not to me
you're not.

Oh yeah, what do you
like about me then?

You just stepped
over the raccoon.

What?

You wanted to scream
and flail and freak out.

You watched me,
are you insane?

But you couldn't let me win,
and that moment I loved you.

Yeah,
I was watching you.

I can't not.

How long have
you been in here?

I figured farmers
get up early.

God, you're an idiot,
we need to get you out.

Not until you agree
to go out with me.

That is the
hypothermia talking.

I'm not leaving until
you say yes, that's it,

so my
life's in your.

Bluff called.

It's the goat's.

God, Dad,
you always do that.

Sorry.

Just had a
little accident.

Lunch in 15.

Yeah, I know.

I just wanted to, we
never actually had

the talk.

Seriously?

Well.

Dad, I'm eating
stew over here.

You and the
Glancer boy.

Christian?

Are you and him?

We had a very heavy make out
session in the cooler, yeah.

OK.

Always be
straight, right?

Right.

Well he's the reason
that you got in trouble.

Dad, he made a huge romantic
gesture and risked freezing to

death just to see me,
what am I supposed to do,

not make out with
him in the cooler?

The boy is dangerous,
I just don't want to

see you make
a huge mistake.

Isn't that what being a
teenager's all about?

And can we avoid the talk,
because I know about the birds

and the bees and the
condoms and the trees.

The what?

Nothing, it's just a clever
rhyme, Dad, let it go.

OK.

Ever heard of
beaver farming?

I mean farming
isn't really accurate.

We breed them.

Loan or sell them to customers
who want their creek dammed on

their property,
stuff like that.

I can't imagine
living out here,

just so out of the loop
with the rest of the world.

Why are you
here, Hailey?

Bronwyn found out you
were at her family's store,

you were snooping
around about her dad.

God.

So she's
super pissed.

Like wants to
kill you pissed.

Why?

I don't understand.

Why do you think
your mom left?

My dad said it was
some kind of a breakdown,

their marriage
wasn't great,

she missed
city life, traveling.

Tell me what
you know,

please.

Doesn't have
to be a race.

Arielle might
be back soon.

She'll ask
questions.

And would it be the
worst thing in the world,

if you tell
her the truth.

Douglas is dead.

Four and a half years.

I know.

The other day at your place
when I slipped on the ice,

that was the
day I decided.

Decided what?

That it was time to
stop sulking in the past.

I'm glad
you're over it.

I've really
got to go.

You can
talk to me.

About her.

Your wife.

Why would I
want to do that?

Hey there, Mr. Ans.

Dropping off more
dairy product, were you?

Stay away
from her.

Tell you what Dad, I'll stay
away from her, if you tell her.

I'm around
like what, a week?

It's amazing how many people
just offer shit up about you.

Weird loner,
wife ran off.

Keeps his
daughter locked up.

Gotta
let her go, Dad.

Sooner or later.

So it's true.

My mom and Bronwyn's dad
were sleeping together.

And then she broke it off,
so that's why Mr. Bateman,

you know,

killed himself.

He couldn't take it,
not being with her.

Is this what the
whole town thinks?

Could be bullshit
though, right?

I mean,
so long ago.

He's dead, and your
mom's not here, so,

who knows.

My advice,
just forget about it.

Look forward,
life's too short.

Yeah.

Thank you Hailey,
for being so nice to me.

Avoid town, OK?

OK?

I mean Bronwyn's
my best friend and all,

but she's crazy,
straight up.

Yeah,
kids no good.

Anything you can
tell me about him.

Yeah, well how do you want
me to make it up to you?

Yeah,
I read your ticket.

Well, I guess that I am
going to have to plead guilty

and hope for
mercy from the court.

Yeah.

Yeah,
that could be arranged.

Hey.

My precious girl.

How much
time do we have?

We have a
few hours,

he's just in
Neville helping a client.

OK.

Where
did you park?

Just
up the road.

It's safe.

I don't like all this,
it's like I'm lying to him.

We don't do that
to one another.

I know it's hard,
and I appreciate your trust.

So dad did get a hold of you to
say that I wanted to see you.

That's right.

He told
me he didn't.

Hm, well that's.

Why would he say
that, do you think?

This is your
father's house.

I don't want
to disparage.

Oh my God,
why is everyone

pussyfooting around
me about everything?

What do you
want me to say?

He gets forgetful
when he drinks.

Drinks?

Dad?

Do we really have to do all
this unpleasant business now?

So what are you
trying to tell me,

that my father's
like a secret drunk?

Is that what
you're trying to say?

All I'm saying is that when you
were younger, the second after

your head hit the pillow he'd
be in the bottle or at the bar.

I don't
believe you.

If he's gotten
help, that's great.

Did you have
an affair?

Yes.

And that's
why you left?

What did
he tell you?

He didn't, but apparently
the whole town knows.

Everything changed when your
father and I got married.

Before that, we talked
travel, seeing the world.

And then, all he wanted
was to keep me here.

I was miserable.

Then you came along,
things were better for a while,

but Tim Bateman and I,
we fell hard for each other.

You loved him
more than Dad.

But you
ended things.

After everyone
in town found out,

I humiliated
your father.

Tim's family.

I tried to make things
right with your dad,

I went
back to him.

But Tim,

he couldn't
take it.

They found him in his garage
with the engine still running.

And who
was to blame?

Is that your piece of
crap parked over there?

Hello.

You've got 30 seconds or
I tow your hunk of junk.

That's my big crime
against my humanity, is it?

Because I have a crowbar
in my trunk if you want to

smash out
my tail lights.

You're on a tight leash
while you're visiting here,

Mr. Ross,
remember that.

Huh,
you know my name already.

Probably from
the other night

when you pulled
me and Arielle over.

You're on parole.

It's my business
to know you.

One more slip and
it's back to the city

and straight into
juvenile detention.

You want that?

Is this his idea,
her dad?

Did he ask you
for a favor?

Or maybe you guys do
each other favors.

She's a good girl.

We all want her
to stay that way.

Really?

Because
from what I hear,

she's not even
allowed off the compound.

Farm.

Tell me three
things about her.

Three.

Her name's Arielle,
I'll give you that one.

Come on constable,
two more.

Anything?

So I'm
gonna go now.

You'll go when
I say you can go.

He's boning my aunt by
the way, rather loudly.

That old dress of mine,
the red one with the lace,

you would look
so pretty in that,

with your hair
done like this.

What dress?

There's an old box of
dresses up in the attic.

I told your father
to let you have them

when you got
a little older.

They'd all
fit you now.

Let's see.

You look
so pretty.

So grown up.

Thank you for
telling me all that.

You are a
rare treasure,

thanking me for being
the world's worst mother.

Sometimes I feel like I'm
missing some pieces of my life.

Hey,

take a
look around.

There is so much
more than this.

There's a whole world out there,
and I hope you get to see it.

Why wouldn't I?

I'll see
you soon.

OK.

Hey pal.

Yeah.

OK.

Yeah, no,
I can handle it.

Thanks Wendel.

I appreciate
the offer though.

OK pal.

Yeah.

What are
you doing?

The one that
died tested positive

for an
infectious disease.

You're gonna murder
them without telling me?

I thought it would be
easier if you didn't know.

For who,
for you?

The water is toxic,
do you want them to suffer?

There has to
be another way.

Well there isn't.

You shouldn't
have got so attached.

Go back up
to the house.

It'll be quick.

Go!

You don't
want to see this.

Arielle?

He killed them,

right in
front of me.

OK, you just
let it out now.

You let
it out.

What is it
sweetheart?

Why are
you here?

I'm here because you
asked for me to be here.

I am here for you,
and that is all that matters.

Maybe
you're ready.

Maybe you're ready to
hear about the past.

About the lies.

What lies,
you left.

About the accident.

What accident?

Sweetheart,

you drowned.

Right here.

You were five.

Five years old.

The farm
was struggling.

I had to pick up a job in
town, at the drug store.

That left your father
to take care of you.

He tried his best, but that
unhappiness inside of him, it

caused him to drink, it caused
him to go inside of himself.

Your little heart,
it stopped for nine minutes.

I thought
we lost you.

And then a
miracle happened.

And my prayers were answered,
and I made a promise,

I made a promise
that I would stay

and I would be
with your father,

and I promised to be the
best mother that I could be.

Then the affair got out,
and Tim,

he killed himself.

And your father,
he sent me away, Arielle.

Do you understand?

He sent me away.

And I am so sorry that you
were never told the truth,

and that I didn't have the
courage to take you with me.

You need to get
out of here, Arielle.

This place
is killing you.

I can't leave.

He'll destroy you.

He will never
let you leave.

He will always
find a reason.

And you, you're a kind hearted
girl and you will take his

orders, and then one
day you'll wake up.

I'm not
leaving again,

I'm not leaving until
you're ready to leave.

Did you
even ask them?

Ask them what?

If they,
Elizabeth.

It doesn't take a
rocket scientist, John.

Your little harlot in her
underwear eating my rocky road.

Respectfully, Elizabeth,
watch your tone.

Respectfully John,
you've raised a slut.

That was overly
harsh, I apologize.

It's not the
girl's fault,

look who her
mother was.

Just following in her
footsteps I suppose.

Jon.

So how long?

You and Miss
Glancer, how long?

Where did
you get that?

Why didn't
you tell me?

It wasn't serious.

A funny way to be
straight with me.

You went up
to the attic?

Yes.

You need
to change.

I just did.

Change back.

This,
what is this?

This, Jon,

this is me,

seeing the truth
for the first time.

You've hidden my
whole life from me.

Anything and
everything I've ever done

has been to
protect you.

You're pathetic.

What other secrets
are you keeping, Jon?

You stop calling me
Jon, and go change.

And you take
out that braid.

Mom said I'd look good like
this, and she was right.

You can't talk like that, do you
know what people will think?

I'm becoming the crazy town
slut, just like my mother.

Yes, damn it,
just like her!

Oh, were you expecting
me to run out of here,

crying like
a little girl?

You can't
have her!

You hear me?

I won't
let you.

What?

You look.

What, weird?

Sexy.

I was
gonna say sexy.

So where do
you want to go?

I need a drink.

OK then.

I will have a pina colada,
followed by a White Russian,

finishing off with
your finest pinot noire.

Excellent
choice, madam.

Your drinks.

Your dad
and my aunt.

I never want there to be
secrets like that between us.

Me neither.

Six months ago I beat up this
random kid, and he turned out to

be like,

you know,
mentally handicapped.

It was a stupid
initiation thing,

and I broke
his collarbone,

and he now has permanent
hearing loss in one of his ears.

And the guys who
dared me to do it,

I didn't even like all that
much, I was just bored, alone.

And those assholes,
they picked him out,

they knew he
was, you know.

And they thought I did too, or
they thought maybe I wouldn't go

through with it, or I don't
know what they thought.

I hurt him,

so bad.

It's the worst
thing I've ever done.

There was, at my sentencing
I was given a chance

to say something,
to apologize, and

I couldn't,

because saying I'm
sorry would just be words,

and it's too late, because
he's even more messed up now.

That's, I wanted to
tell you, that's it.

I don't deserve
anything good.

I, I'm sorry.

When it comes to
Arielle, I get.

I feel horrible
about scaring you.

Can you
forgive me?

I saw your light on, and I
thought that was your way of

saying that
you forgave me.

OK, I see that I have
some work to do here.

It's just been a while since
I've been in a relationship.

That's what
this is to you?

Well,
yeah, yeah.

I mean, I

I like you.

John, I went to the police
station this evening to file

assault charges
against you.

The officer who
took my statement,

such a lovely
young woman.

Such a kind soul, a
Constable Ruth Shocka.

Are you familiar John,
with Constable Ruth Shocka?

Because she seems
very familiar with you.

I dare say she may loathe you
even more than I loathe you.

After learning of
your familiarity with

Constable Ruth Shocka,
I withdrew my complaint.

It dawned on me how
sad your existence is.

How isolated
you are, secretive.

Sad, really.

But let me
be clear.

Stay away from me, or else
I or Constable Ruth Shocka

will
destroy you.

Pathetic louche.

And that is
not for you.

Can I talk to
you for a second?

I'm so sorry
about your dad.

I didn't know.

I didn't
know anything.

I hate that my
family caused you pain.

That's it.

I'm so
sorry, Bronwyn.

You don't ever talk
about him, you hear me?

Never!

Told you we
weren't finished.

Blindsided Arielle.

Hit her in the back of a head
with a bottle, and she was just

defending herself, and then
it got crazy, so crazy.

You have been told repeatedly
to stay away from her.

All I did was
break them up.

There was underage drinking,
drugs on the premises,

which is undoubtedly a
violation of your parole.

Fine, you know, call my
PO, send me back to juvie,

get me out of the sticks,
I'm sick of this place.

What's gonna
happen to her?

She'll be charged.

Still a minor, first
offense, community service.

I thought she was all,
you know, proper and normal.

I had no idea.

It was so
messed up.

You can't
help her.

All she's ever known is
this one kind of life.

Lonely existence, until
she finally gets away from.

Maybe that's what needs to
happen, maybe somebody needs to

get her the hell
off that farm.

Maybe.

But that
won't be easy.

Her father just
bailed her out.

We should get you
checked out.

I mean, you might
have a concussion.

Like you
know anything.

Morning.

You look
back to normal.

You feeling OK?

Goats are dry.

No milk.

That's strange.

I'm leaving.

What?

I'm finishing today's chores,
and then that's it, I'm going.

Where?

With Christian?

No, no I don't
think so Arielle.

You don't
get to decide.

What the hell happened
to you last night?

You put that girl
in the hospital.

Her dad was having
an affair with mom,

but I don't need
to tell you that.

All this talk
about your mother.

You're just not even
going to respond to that.

So she got
into you somehow.

No.

I'm your father and I love
you, but you belong here.

You don't get to
keep her from me.

Not anymore.

You know
I had to.

Why?

She was sick.

She loved you, but something
inside her changed.

It changed
in her heart.

Her heart just got
darker and darker.

No little girl should ever be
separated from her mother,

except this time.

This time it
had to happen.

I had to
send her away.

Arielle.

I lied to you.

I didn't
look for her.

I never sent emails,
I never called.

I didn't try.

I never
intended to.

Why?

Because your
mother's dead.

She took
her own life.

She drowned.

Right there
in the pond.

She drove her
car into it, so.

Arielle.

No.

You don't
come near me.

She told me about the
clothes in the attic.

She braided my.

Arielle, you were
having nightmares.

No,
I brought her back.

Come here.

Come here,
come here.

Oh, I love you.

I love you.

And as hard as it is to hear,
you're better off without her.

Ugh.

Arielle.

Open the door.

Arielle, please.

Hey.

Hey!

Stop.

Stop.

Hi honey.

Hi.

You.

Yes, yes,
I did miss our

intellectually
stimulating conversations.

You know, you always did
have a way with words.

She turned out beautifully,
Jon, our little Arielle.

Bright, articulate,
an old caring soul.

Just like
her mother.

You've
lost her, Jon.

She's leaving you.

You're gonna die alone
here on this disgusting,

stench-laden,
life sucking farm.

You're gonna die alone
with your farm animals,

and your whores,
and your nothing.

And your
daughter will be happy.

She'll step foot
off of this prison,

and never
ever return.

I told you we
weren't finished.

This
isn't happening.

You're not here.

Because?

Because your rotting corpse is
at the bottom of that pond,

because I
put you there.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart,
you were in danger.

You put
me in danger.

I almost died.

Oh baby, that's
not what happened.

That's not
what happened.

I don't know
what she told you.

I don't know what
she told you baby.

You're not gonna
hurt us anymore.

She tried
to kill you.

She buckled you into a
car, and she pushed you in.

She tried
to kill you.

She pushed you, baby,
I tried to save you.

She buckled
you into a-

I told him we
weren't finished yet.

What is
wrong with you?

We're not
finished yet.

You sure this
is what you want?

So beautiful.

I'm gonna miss it.

We should go.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

You know where
you want to go yet?

Which direction
are we driving?

South.

South sounds
heavenly, sir.
