Outsiders (2016–2017): Season 2, Episode 3 - Banishment - full transcript
G'Win is confronted with an impossible decision; at the same time, Lil Foster begins to feel like all hope is lost.
NARRATOR:
Previously on Outsiders:
Was a white boy there with you?
I have cancer. There just hasn't
been a good time to tell you.
G'WIN: Elon?
I am Moregon, and
we are the Kinnah.
- We were told that your man had passed.
- You have no right to ransack it.
We will find somewhere else.
Better to make it a
home than let it fall to ruin.
We block access to the town.
Each man will survey
a stretch of woods.
The roads we can't
close, we post guards.
So no more Farrells coming
down here disturbing the peace.
Shit!
[GRUNTING]
I'm looking for somebody.
I'm looking for my Fa.
Well, if he was dead, his
body would be at the morgue.
I'm headed that way
if you want a ride.
Give me two minutes.
You know you got a
wild animal in your truck?
[GRUNTING]
Drop the knife right now!
Hands behind your head.
- Where's the gun?
- What gun?
The one you used
to kill Breece Dobbs.
- I didn't kill nobody.
- Bail is denied.
CORINNE: Found you
in the middle of the road.
I've got big plans
for you. Stitch him up.
[♪♪♪]
[CROWD MURMURING]
- He asked for a Circle.
- Yeah, and he don't deserve one.
- Not for you to say!
- No, it's for me. Get him up.
All right, all right, all right.
Get him cleaned up and get him to
a bed. He'll get his Circle first light.
Take him to Lil' Foster's.
He's not to leave the
house and be eyes on it.
- Take me to my own bed.
- We are.
What's he want a Circle for?
I reckon to stake his
claim to being Bren'in.
She ain't gonna let that happen,
not after everything he's done.
Look, we may be bound by law.
She only took the Oak
on account of he was dead.
G'Win is my Bren'in.
If he tries to harm one hair on her
head, I'm gonna cut him down myself.
You sure this is a good idea?
He has the right to a Circle.
What come out, come out.
[♪♪♪]
What the hell?
They call themselves the Kinnah.
Said they came up from
Shadowside a day ago.
Why'd they burn my things?
Here.
Hey, you do this?
Huh?
Answer me. Hey, hey, hey.
What the hell is wrong with you?
MOREGON; Foster Farrell.
All apologies, sir.
- We were told thou had perished.
- Oh, so you take my house?
And you torch my belongings.
The burning was meant as a purification,
a blessing in your memory, sir.
Well, get out of here, and
I don't care who you are.
I am Moregon.
[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[♪♪♪]
And if I may say, I am
happy to see you alive.
Get yourself gone.
As you wish.

[CARTOON MUSIC PLAYING OVER TV]
Okay, that's enough TV.
Upstairs now. Wash up
and homework, then bed.
- You heard your dad. Go.
- I don't have homework.
Hey, and, Hilda, I saw
you kissing that cat before.
I don't want you doing that,
okay? He hasn't had his shots.
[WADE SIGHS]
That cat pisses me off.
I think it's doing
the girls some good.
Getting their
mind a little bit off...
everything that's happened.
- When you gonna tell them?
- When the time is right.
- Yeah? When's that gonna be?
- I don't know.
I know this is hard, but you can't
pretend like it's not happening.
- You have to face it.
- I know what's happening.
- Yeah? What's that?
- This cancer, it's a message...
from God, and he's showing
me the path that I have to travel.
Well, what...?
What path is that?
That I have to be of use with
what precious time that I've got left.
Well, I mean...
Regardless of whatever, you know,
celestial message you're receiving...
there's still practicalities
to take care of.
There's treatment. There will
be the childcare while you're...
- That's gonna be expensive.
- Yeah, I know it is.
I'll take care of it.
[SCOFFS]
I will take care of it.
[GRUNTING]
They ain't gonna move.
Stubborn one, eh?
Well, boy, you'll learn.
Hey, you're gonna hurt yourself.
Medical ain't no better.
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
[♪♪♪]
MAN 1: What's wrong with you?
[GRUNTING]
MAN 2: Guard.
MAN 3: The bars win every
time. MAN 4: Knock it off!
Guard.
[♪♪♪]
[CHATTERING]
[CHATTERING STOPS]
I killed my mother.
[CHATTERING]
WOMAN: You're a murderer!
I killed Lady Ray.
I took the Oak...
in a manner impure.
[CLAMORING]
And the punishment for this...
for all that I've done...
be banishment.
[CLAMORING]
You are the rightful Bren'in.
CROWD: Yes! Yes!
My fate is in your
hands and the elders'.
So whatever comes...
be it mercy or no...
I will accept.
[WHISPERING]
MAN: He's in trouble.
[♪♪♪]
The proffered
punishment is accepted.
If the Bren'in agrees, you,
Foster Farrell VI, are banished.
CROWD: Yeah!
Bren'in, what say you?
The Bren'in will think on it and
render a decision at a later time.
Well, wait a minute.
Wait. After all he's done...
not just to Lady Ray, but
to me, to you, to all of us...
That is my word.
The Circle is complete.
Thank you all.
[CHATTERING]
MAN: All right, take your time,
take your time. There you go.
Hey.
- Hasil.
- No, don't speak.
One of the happiest
days of my life...
was the day that I heard
you were shot dead.
The only thing that made me
sad was that I didn't get to bury you.
Well, maybe you'll get
your wish, soon enough.
No, you see, that's not our way.
Oh, it's what I deserve.
Maybe Asa will come
around and finish the job.
HASIL: Asa?
Asa's dead, Foster.
And yet, here you stand.
Funny how things turned out.
You know, the only thing
that gives me hope in this life...
is that I'm never gonna
have to see you again.
[♪♪♪]
He's right. Asa's gone.
Yeah, boy got himself mauled up
bad by something. Hasil, Barnabis...
they found him in pieces.
Where?
[♪♪♪]
I truly...
truly wanted to say my
sorries for what I done to you.
He tried to kill you, Foster.
Let that lostie rot.
You be careful...
what you say...
about my boy.
[♪♪♪]
- Bren'in.
- Kinnah.
- I wish to apologize.
- For what?
For any trouble I might have
caused by taking that house.
I told you to take it.
Speak your mind.
It's not another mouth you
need, I reckon, but an ear.
He surprised me.
I mean, being alive, but also
admitting to what he'd done.
I wasn't prepared for that.
- So it's true?
- Oh, yes, it's true. He killed his mother.
- Did other things besides.
- He's the one that hurt you.
He hurt us all.
And by his confession,
you think he's changed.
No. The trouble is, there are
some who are sympathetic to him.
And by confessing, he makes me
look like the monster if I punish him.
There are also those
sympathetic to you...
stinging still from the
damage he done, I imagine.
They won't want you
to go softer, I'm certain.
And being a woman leading
men, they're afraid that you will.
Well, you never
saw our Lady Ray.
[♪♪♪]
- So you say banishment?
- Banishment, man can come back from.
There's only thing
sure as sure can be.
- Farrells don't kill Farrells.
- Then I don't envy you, Bren'in...
the needle you have to thread.
Still can't believe
you crashed it.
Big metal doohies
came up out of nowheres.
Anyways, we got
bigger problems now.
Yeah? Like what?
Big Foster.
- Think G'Win's gonna let him stay?
- Don't know.
[♪♪♪]
WOMAN: Well, we can do
your intake today if you'd like.
- Today?
- If you can get here.
We're a few hours
from Blackburg.
Yeah. No, I can. Just
put me down. I'll be there.
- Okay. We'll see you at 3.
- Thank you. Bye.
[PHONE BEEPS OFF]
[TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]
Hey, Melinda's mother's
car is in the shop...
and she's been taking
the bus, so can I use yours?
- Just to get to work?
- Yeah.
It ain't but 15 minutes
from the mini-mart.
Expect you walking back
through that door at 5:15.
Yeah, okay.
Hey.
I just worry about
you, that's all.
You earn trust, you get trust.
HAYLIE: I know I'm required to. It's on
its way. What else do you want me to...?
Of course I want
to. He's my son also.
I get there as often
as I can, Stewart.
I'm here doing a job. It's
good one of us has one.
Otherwise there'd be
nothing for him at all. Goodbye.
Wade, come on in.
What can I do for you?
Well, I have a problem. I was just
hoping to clarify something with you.
Okay. You know what? I think we
should each feel free to go ahead...
and remain in the roles
Mr. Myers has laid out for us.
No. I mean, I ain't
thrilled about that...
but I was looking at how you provide
health care for employees and spouses.
It seems that generally
that's the case...
but Breece Dobbs,
seems he wasn't covered.
I don't understand.
Ledda's... She's sick.
That's my sister, she
was Breece's wife.
Oh, God. Of course.
Here, come sit down.
- Is it serious?
- Uh...
Yeah, it's pancreatic cancer.
Wade, I'm so sorry.
- How sorry?
- I don't control who gets health care.
That kicks in after a
certain number of months...
- and Breece wasn't here long enough.
- They got two kids.
Really? Are you serious?
Are you just going
back to work? Hello?
What are you doing?
You just gonna ignore me?
HAYLIE: Well,
would you look at that.
Looks like I was wrong about
when Breece started here.
Looks like he is eligible...
- for insurance after all.
- What are you talking about?
I have to point out this little clerical
error to the Benefits department in Roanoke...
but then your sister should
be covered in a couple of days.
I think the phrase you're
searching for is "thank you."
Yeah. Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Earl.
Earl!
Don't act like you can't hear
me, Earl. I see you there.
What is it, Virgil?
I told him he was gonna
give before the bars did.
Oh, shit.
Hey, Ron, got one
for the infirmary here.
Take him to the infirmary.
I don't think I can handle this
one on my own. He's a little big.
Roll 12.
He's not even supposed
to be in the prison.
Ain't convicted yet. Why
ain't he in the county jail?
RON: Overcrowding.
EARL: Hey! Code red! Code red!
[GRUNTING]
[ALARM BLARING AND
INMATES WHOOPING]
[♪♪♪]
Uhn!
[YELLING AND GRUNTING]
Yeah, hit him! Yeah!
[YELLING]
Yeah! Kick his ass!
[SCREAMS]
If you're headed where I think
you're headed, we're going in with you.
No offense, you're
both strong of heart.
But I'm gonna need
strong in other ways.
[♪♪♪]
- What?
- What's she doing with her medicine?
Where's Lil' Foster?
He ain't come to see me yet.
I sent him to find your body.
We didn't know it was
somehow still up walking around.
BIG FOSTER: Well, at
least he took his best shot.
My boys, they say that he run
off and then got hisself dead.
- That true?
- It's true.
You sure? Because he
was dead the first time...
- when he shot me.
- I'm sure.
Show me.
Stitches worse than the
wound. You do that yourself?
No. They were done to
me. In a house of horrors.
The likes of which I
hope you never see.
You come to heal me?
G'WIN: I don't want it on my
head, you dying alone in the woods.
Hey, leave us.
Go.
I forgive you for what you done.
G'WIN: You forgive me?
- Did what you had to.
What you thought
was right for the clan.
And that's how I know that
you are the rightful Bren'in.
One way, leastways...
because my boys also told me
how you faced them lawmen down.
Your way.
Better than my
way would've been.
See, being Bren'in...
the power of it, and the
desire for it, changes you.
Changed me.
Changed me for the worse.
Seems like it's changed
you for the better.
Well, something's changed
in me for the better too.
[SCOFFS]
Oh, that funny?
You weren't gone but a week.
That's not even enough time for
a caterpillar to make a cocoon...
- let alone come back out a butterfly.
- This change was growing in me...
long before I went
away. Can we talk?
In private?
Stay just outside.
I love you, G'Winveer.
I long have.
And I know that I ain't
worthy of you yet, I know that.
But I hope...
that by admitting what I
done and taking what comes...
I can begin to be.
You'd say anything to get what
you want. That's what I know.
Then I won't show
you by what I say.
I will show you by what I do.
Get it on tight.
Gather every gun we got.
Bring them all to me.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
How far does it go?
Well, that way, it goes
clear to Crow Rock.
That way, don't know.
Came to find you.
It could be a problem next
time we need to go on a run.
Won't be doing no more runs.
We're relying too much on down there.
We need to get back to the old ways.
You know, it could cut us
off from our own lands too.
Good fishing down at the
falls, deer in the old wood.
Okay.
Walk the edge. See how far it goes.
But, Hasil, don't be starting any trouble.
Stay on our side for now.
The law of the mountain
says all this is ours.
We're straying
from that completely.
You got something to
say, cousin, say it plain.
That man, he almost killed us all,
and you think about letting him back in.
If you think I'm the only one
who's got a problem with that...
then you fooling yourself.
I hear you.
I'm just threading
the needle is all.
I need you to trust me.
Find out all you can
about this here fence.
What happens if it
goes all the way around?
We ain't trapped up here,
they trapped down there.
WOMAN: Like I said...
without an oncologist exam, all I
can give you is a ballpark figure.
WADE: Yeah, that's fine.
- And she does have insurance?
- Yeah. Uh...
We don't have all the
paperwork, but, yeah, she does.
That's good of you to take
some of the pressure off her.
Yeah, well, family.
You'd be surprised.
Okay, so it looks
like with everything...
she'd be looking at
about $135,000 all in.
Okay.
And, uh... And the co-pay?
I mean, minus the insurance.
No, no, no. I know...
Just 135,000 is the co-pay.
What the...? How's anybody
supposed to pay that?
- That's a death sentence.
- Sheriff.
How's it feel to work
for a system like that?
Work for a system
that kills people?
Might not be pulling the trigger
yourself, you might as well be.
Sorry.
You're just doing your job.
[SIGHS]
[♪♪♪]
- Emelye, I come to...
- You said sorry in the Circle, Foster.
The Bren'in's strong. She'll
make her decision on her own.
Oh, she's gonna banish me.
It's her only choice.
What is it you want, then?
My mother...
she used to tell me stories...
dark tales to scare me.
- And?
- Stories about this...
This mountain...
and that the...
The natives here,
the Cherokee...
they called it Blood.
[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Blood Mountain,
they named it, yes.
Well, these scary
tales she told...
they were of a clan...
a cult of thieves...
evildoers, of witches.
She said they were
called the Kinnah.
Yes, I heard those
stories as a girl myself.
Fairy tales, I believe
they are called, Foster.
And so, these Kinnah...
- you don't fear them?
- Would you if they were men?
- You fear all women, don't you?
- No, I fear...
for our clan, is all.
Now I felt that I should
speak my mind to you.
Because in the past, I
disrespected you and the elders...
and if I am allowed to stay...
that will change.
[♪♪♪]
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[CONTINUES SPEAKING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
So, Sally-Ann, you're here
because you're thinking about...
terminating your pregnancy?
I... I don't know. Maybe.
I mean, I just wanted to
know how it works, I guess.
All right. Do you know
how far along you are?
- Less than two months.
- Okay.
We'll do a physical, and if
you're in your first trimester...
a chemical abortion is
an option, and that's a pill.
Now, state law requires that
I give you some information...
and it's about
alternatives like adoption...
No, no, no. Nobody can know.
You know, I get it. I understand,
although state law requires...
that I have to give this
to you, then we have...
a 24-hour waiting period
before we can proceed.
I can't come back tomorrow.
That's all right. Just come back
when you can, and in the meanwhile...
let's do a physical and take
another pregnancy test to be sure.
How much is the pill?
It's $800.
- Is there another way?
- There is...
but that's 2 or 3000, and we
wouldn't be able to get you in...
for another couple months.
We're the only clinic for 200 miles.
- Everyone else has been shut down.
- Is there another place I can go?
Can you get yourself
to St. Louis or Ohio?
- You might find more affordable options...
- I can't.
[PHONE BUZZING]
[♪♪♪]
WADE: I ain't been too good
with the upkeep of the place...
but it's a good
house, and, uh...
and it gets pretty good light...
some mornings.
I can throw the furniture
in if you think that'll help.
No, I think unfurnished
is the way to go here.
I mean, if you're looking to drive
up the price, you could repaint...
or redo the kitchen, the
bathroom, the other rooms.
Really? Because, I mean, you know,
Auntie Ray picked out a lot of this stuff.
I mean...
the cabinets...
and the tile. I mean, she
had a pretty good eye.
But, you know, you're the expert.
Whatever you think will help.
You know what?
It's probably fine, that would
just be putting money out...
in the hopes of getting
more back, and, well...
What do you think
I'm gonna get for it?
Fifteen thousand, maybe 18,000.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't even
do this. No commission.
I'm here as a personal
favor to you, sheriff.
Well, thank you.
- Whatever we can get.
- All right.
[♪♪♪]
All right. Now, is that all?
We got one more load.
- All right. Well, go.
- Come on.
Oh, sorry, still alive.
The house is yours,
once and future.
I come on other matters.
- Speak.
- Me and mine got here not days ago.
We're new to your clan.
Sometimes it's the freshest
eye that can see the most clear.
- Mm. What do you see?
- That G'Win...
- she's a young one.
- In years, maybe. Old in spirit.
I've seen looks on some
faces when she speaks...
and on those same faces
when you come back.
Some don't think she's up
to leading. Think you are.
Well, G'Win is
stronger than she looks.
- You can take my word on that.
- Strong as you?
Who are you?
Just one who's joined
my people to yours...
and worries for the fate of
both in the trying times to come.
So you're planning on
being here a while, then.
- We have no other place to go.
- Well, you are meddling awfully high...
awfully soon...
for someone with
no place else to go.
You're right.
You and yours, you
got here not days ago.
You're new to our clan...
but sometimes the freshest
eyes, they don't see shit.
You love her...
but that love...
is at war with another feeling.
Which is the stronger?
I wonder.
[♪♪♪]
MAN 1: That's good right there.
[CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY BEEPING]
MAN 2: Go ahead and latch it right
on the bottom there, that'd be good.
MAN 3: It's starting
to get right up.
[♪♪♪]
MAN 4: You drive it right
up, okay? Right through here.
WADE: Millie.
- How's it going, sheriff?
Same shit, different day.
Hm.
Just, um... Just those.
What do I owe you for that?
Thirty-two sixty-five.
Thirty-two...
Thirty-two sixty-five?
It's just a little bottle,
not even the real one.
No, that's your total for the
ibuprofen and your prescription.
- What's the prescription?
- Your OxyContin.
- The hospital called it in.
- Oh, yeah.
I've been waiting for you.
Assume that's what you're after.
No.
- Oh. Okay, then, I...
- But, yeah...
I'll... Yeah, I'll take it.
- You sure?
- Yeah. That 32.65?
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
[WHISPERING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Sit tight, Farrell.
We're gonna have
plenty of time to break you.
[CHUCKLING]

[ALARM BLARING]
Come on, guys,
let's get them Farrells.
GUARD: Unh!
- Stay back. I don't wanna shoot you.
[GRUNTING]
[ENGINE REVVING]
Get on!
Are you sure you wanna do this?
It's the only way.
Let's go.
MAN 1: Lookie here.
MAN 2: What's going on?
- See that? WOMAN
1: You see that?
MAN 1: See that?
MAN 3: That don't mean anything.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
MOREGON: He said
all the right things, aloud.
- But inside...
- Darkness?
It's like I thought.
Could be he's trying
to change for true.
[G'WIN SCOFFS]
Or it could be he's
waiting till he's not so frail...
to show his colors.
- Bren'in.
- Foster.
[BIG FOSTER PANTING]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Leave me.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
WADE: It's gonna be steep,
even with the insurance.
I'm gonna sell the house.
If I do a bit of work on
it, it'll drive up the value...
and we can pay the whole thing off
in installments, cut a few expenses...
and I'm more than willing
to take on a night job.
- Maybe I can do something in security...
- Wade, listen.
- I'm not getting treatment.
- What?
- I appreciate all that you are trying to do.
- I don't care if you appreciate it or not.
- You're getting treatment.
- No. I'm not putting myself through it...
or my kids. It's months
of pain and humiliation...
just so I can die anyway and
leave you all in the poorhouse...
You have any idea what the alternative
is, do you know what you're saying?
Shh.
- Do you realize...?
- Shh-shh-shh.
God has a plan for me.
I've seen it, and he's already showing
me that I'm doing the right thing.
[POURING COFFEE]
- What about your kids?
- He's got a plan for them too.
And for you.
[♪♪♪]
[ENGINE REVVING]
Whew.
What's going on? Where you been?
This one took a tumble
during patrol the other day.
Just went to get
it back, that's all.
And didn't wanna come?
- Look like it put up a fight.
- It was in the wrong hands.
Hasil, I asked you not
to start any more trouble.
I told you to stay on
this side of the fence.
More than we need these wheels?
Fighting is gonna
bring them up here.
Yeah, I didn't know I was
gonna fight when I went for it.
The fight came to me.
All right, you give me responsibilities
and I'll take this serious.
I'm just trying to help. Now, you
asked me to trust you, and I do.
So trust me.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
CALEB: Dad?
[KNOCKING CONTINUES]
- Yeah, I'm in here.
- Dad?
Yeah, Caleb, I'm in here.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay.
What's the matter?
Nothing. I was just
worried you were sick.
No, I'm not sick.
I'll be out in a minute.
Okay.

[SIGHS]
Hey, I'm sorry. I was at
work, and Mitch said...
we had to do inventory, and
it was 5:05, and by the time I...
What's this? Goddamn
pregnancy test.
- Get out of the car.
- I was trying to deal with it, okay?
- I told you to stop seeing him.
- I didn't see him, I said I was try...
Stop lying! You've been
lying the whole time!
- Listen.
- Get out of the car! Come on!
Hey! Hey, don't

- Don't drive the car! Hey, don't you...

You don't come back, then!
You leave like this and

Lil' Foster back yet?
G'WIN: Not yet.
[EXHALES]
It's not like him
to lose a trail.
If he's not back soonest, we'll
look, but I'm here about you.
You're right, banishment's the
proper sentence for what you've done.
Only, the mountain
already banished you...
put you through some
kind of hell down there...
from what you said, and
then brought you back.
You know, Lady Ray used to say:
"When you're most sure of what the
mountain wants, it makes you fools."
- Where'd you get that?
- It come to me.
When they came up here, we scared
them off, but that won't be the last of it.
Now they're building a
fence. I don't know why.
Something's coming, Foster.
Now, I don't trust you...
I don't, but a Bren'in
needs certain tools...
and I may need you...
- for what's coming.
- It would be my honor to serve.
Heal up.

Was a white boy there with you?
I have cancer. There just hasn't

G'WIN: Elon?
I am Moregon, and
we are the Kinnah.
- We were told that your man had passed.
- You have no right to ransack it.
We will find somewhere else.
Better to make it a
home than let it fall to ruin.
We block access to the town.
Each man will survey
a stretch of woods.
The roads we can't
close, we post guards.
So no more Farrells coming

I'm looking for somebody.
I'm looking for my Fa.
Well, if he was dead, his

I'm headed that way

Give me two minutes.
You know you got a

[GRUNTING]
Drop the knife right now!
Hands behind your head.
- Where's the gun?
- What gun?
The one you used
to kill Breece Dobbs.
- I didn't kill nobody.
- Bail is denied.
CORINNE: Found you
in the middle of the road.
I've got big plans
for you. Stitch him up.

[CROWD MURMURING]
- He asked for a Circle.
- Yeah, and he don't deserve one.
- Not for you to say!
- No, it's for me. Get him up.
All right, all right, all right.
Get him cleaned up and get him to
a bed. He'll get his Circle first light.
Take him to Lil' Foster's.
He's not to leave the
house and be eyes on it.
- Take me to my own bed.
- We are.
What's he want a Circle for?
I reckon to stake his
claim to being Bren'in.
She ain't gonna let that happen,
not after everything he's done.
Look, we may be bound by law.
She only took the Oak
on account of he was dead.
G'Win is my Bren'in.
If he tries to harm one hair on her
head, I'm gonna cut him down myself.
You sure this is a good idea?
He has the right to a Circle.
What come out, come out.

What the hell?
They call themselves the Kinnah.
Said they came up from

Why'd they burn my things?
Here.
Hey, you do this?
Huh?
Answer me. Hey, hey, hey.
What the hell is wrong with you?
MOREGON; Foster Farrell.
All apologies, sir.
- We were told thou had perished.
- Oh, so you take my house?
And you torch my belongings.
The burning was meant as a purification,

Well, get out of here, and

Well, what...?
What path is that?
That I have to be of use with

Well, I mean...
Regardless of whatever, you know,

The only thing that made me

Well, maybe you'll get

No, you see, that's not our way.
Oh, it's what I deserve.
Maybe Asa will come

Asa's dead, Foster.
And yet, here you stand.

You know, the only thing

I told you to take it.
Speak your mind.
It's not another mouth you
need, I reckon, but an ear.
He surprised me.
I mean, being alive, but also
admitting to what he'd done.
I wasn't prepared for that.
- So it's true?
- Oh, yes, it's true. He killed his mother.
- Did other things besides.
- He's the one that hurt you.
He hurt us all.
And by his confession,
you think he's changed.
No. The trouble is, there are
some who are sympathetic to him.
And by confessing, he makes me
look like the monster if I punish him.
There are also those
sympathetic to you...
stinging still from the
damage he done, I imagine.
They won't want you

And being a woman leading

Of course I want

I'm here doing a job. It's

Otherwise there'd be
nothing for him at all. Goodbye.
Wade, come on in.
What can I do for you?
Well, I have a problem. I was just
hoping to clarify something with you.
Okay. You know what? I think we
should each feel free to go ahead...
and remain in the roles
Mr. Myers has laid out for us.
No. I mean, I ain't
thrilled about that...
but I was looking at how you provide
health care for employees and spouses.
It seems that generally
that's the case...
but Breece Dobbs,
seems he wasn't covered.
I don't understand.
Ledda's... She's sick.
That's my sister, she
was Breece's wife.
Oh, God. Of course.
Here, come sit down.
- Is it serious?
- Uh...
Yeah, it's pancreatic cancer.
Wade, I'm so sorry.
- How sorry?
- I don't control who gets health care.
That kicks in after a
certain number of months...
- and Breece wasn't here long enough.
- They got two kids.
Really? Are you serious?
Are you just going
back to work? Hello?
What are you doing?
You just gonna ignore me?
HAYLIE: Well,
would you look at that.
Looks like I was wrong about
when Breece started here.
Looks like he is eligible...
- for insurance after all.
- What are you talking about?
I have to point out this little clerical
error to the Benefits department in Roanoke...
but then your sister should
be covered in a couple of days.
I think the phrase you're

Yeah. Thank you.

You sure? Because he
was dead the first time...
- when he shot me.
- I'm sure.
Show me.
Stitches worse than the
wound. You do that yourself?
No. They were done to

hope you never see.
You come to heal me?
G'WIN: I don't want it on my

Hey, leave us.
Go.
I forgive you for what you done.
G'WIN: You forgive me?
- Did what you had to.
What you thought
was right for the clan.
And that's how I know that
you are the rightful Bren'in.
One way, leastways...
because my boys also told me
how you faced them lawmen down.
Your way.
Better than my
way would've been.
See, being Bren'in...
the power of it, and the
desire for it, changes you.
Changed me.
Changed me for the worse.
Seems like it's changed
you for the better.
Well, something's changed
in me for the better too.
[SCOFFS]
Oh, that funny?
You weren't gone but a week.
That's not even enough time for
a caterpillar to make a cocoon...
- let alone come back out a butterfly.
- This change was growing in me...
long before I went
away. Can we talk?
In private?
Stay just outside.
I love you, G'Winveer.
I long have.
And I know that I ain't
worthy of you yet, I know that.
But I hope...
that by admitting what I
done and taking what comes...
I can begin to be.
You'd say anything to get what
you want. That's what I know.
Then I won't show
you by what I say.
I will show you by what I do.
Get it on tight.

How far does it go?
Well, that way, it goes

That way, don't know.

It could be a problem next

Won't be doing no more runs.
We're relying too much on down there.
We need to get back to the old ways.
You know, it could cut us
off from our own lands too.
Good fishing down at the

Okay.
Walk the edge. See how far it goes.
But, Hasil, don't be starting any trouble.
Stay on our side for now.
The law of the mountain

We're straying
from that completely.
You got something to

If you think I'm the only one
who's got a problem with that...
then you fooling yourself.

I need you to trust me.
Find out all you can
about this here fence.

goes all the way around?
We ain't trapped up here,

without an oncologist exam, all I
can give you is a ballpark figure.
WADE: Yeah, that's fine.
- And she does have insurance?
- Yeah. Uh...
We don't have all the
paperwork, but, yeah, she does.
That's good of you to take
some of the pressure off her.
Yeah, well, family.
You'd be surprised.
Okay, so it looks
like with everything...
she'd be looking at
about $135,000 all in.
Okay.
And, uh... And the co-pay?
I mean, minus the insurance.
No, no, no. I know...
Just 135,000 is the co-pay.
What the...? How's anybody
supposed to pay that?
- That's a death sentence.
- Sheriff.
How's it feel to work
for a system like that?

What is it you want, then?
My mother...
she used to tell me stories...
dark tales to scare me.
- And?
- Stories about this...
This mountain...
and that the...
The natives here,
the Cherokee...
they called it Blood.
[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Blood Mountain,
they named it, yes.
Well, these scary
tales she told...
they were of a clan...
a cult of thieves...
evildoers, of witches.
She said they were
called the Kinnah.
Yes, I heard those
stories as a girl myself.
Fairy tales, I believe
they are called, Foster.
And so, these Kinnah...
- you don't fear them?
- Would you if they were men?
- You fear all women, don't you?
- No, I fear...
for our clan, is all.
Now I felt that I should

I... I don't know. Maybe.
I mean, I just wanted to
know how it works, I guess.
All right. Do you know
how far along you are?
- Less than two months.
- Okay.
We'll do a physical, and if
you're in your first trimester...
a chemical abortion is
an option, and that's a pill.
Now, state law requires that
I give you some information...
and it's about
alternatives like adoption...
No, no, no. Nobody can know.
You know, I get it. I understand,
although state law requires...
that I have to give this
to you, then we have...
a 24-hour waiting period
before we can proceed.
I can't come back tomorrow.
That's all right. Just come back
when you can, and in the meanwhile...
let's do a physical and take
another pregnancy test to be sure.
How much is the pill?
It's $800.
- Is there another way?
- There is...
but that's 2 or 3000, and we
wouldn't be able to get you in...
for another couple months.
We're the only clinic for 200 miles.

I can throw the furniture
in if you think that'll help.
No, I think unfurnished
is the way to go here.
I mean, if you're looking to drive
up the price, you could repaint...
or redo the kitchen, the
bathroom, the other rooms.
Really? Because, I mean, you know,
Auntie Ray picked out a lot of this stuff.
I mean...
the cabinets...
and the tile. I mean, she
had a pretty good eye.
But, you know, you're the expert.
Whatever you think will help.
You know what?
It's probably fine, that would
just be putting money out...
in the hopes of getting
more back, and, well...
What do you think
I'm gonna get for it?
Fifteen thousand, maybe 18,000.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't even
do this. No commission.

- In years, maybe. Old in spirit.
I've seen looks on some
faces when she speaks...
and on those same faces
when you come back.
Some don't think she's up

Well, G'Win is
stronger than she looks.

Who are you?
Just one who's joined

and worries for the fate of
both in the trying times to come.
So you're planning on
being here a while, then.

- Well, you are meddling awfully high...
awfully soon...
for someone with
no place else to go.
You're right.
You and yours, you
got here not days ago.
You're new to our clan...

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]
- Yeah, I'm in here.
- Dad?
Yeah, Caleb, I'm in here.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay.
What's the matter?
Nothing. I was just
worried you were sick.
No, I'm not sick.

Hey, I'm sorry. I was at
work, and Mitch said...
we had to do inventory, and
it was 5:05, and by the time I...
What's this? Goddamn
pregnancy test.
- Get out of the car.
- I was trying to deal with it, okay?
- I told you to stop seeing him.
- I didn't see him, I said I was try...
Stop lying! You've been
lying the whole time!
- Listen.
- Get out of the car! Come on!
Hey! Hey, don't
you drive this car!
- Don't drive the car! Hey, don't you...

Lil' Foster back yet?
G'WIN: Not yet.
[EXHALES]
It's not like him
to lose a trail.
If he's not back soonest, we'll
look, but I'm here about you.
You're right, banishment's the
proper sentence for what you've done.
Only, the mountain
already banished you...
put you through some
kind of hell down there...
from what you said, and
then brought you back.
You know, Lady Ray used to say:
"When you're most sure of what the
mountain wants, it makes you fools."
- Where'd you get that?
- It come to me.
When they came up here, we scared
them off, but that won't be the last of it.
Now they're building a
fence. I don't know why.
Something's coming, Foster.
Now, I don't trust you...
I don't, but a Bren'in
needs certain tools...
and I may need you...
- for what's coming.
- It would be my honor to serve.
Heal up.
