Are you okay? Sure? Yeah, I'm okay. Yeah, go check the son of a bitch out in the car. Go on. Buddy. Are you okay? Fine. But thanks for asking. Get your goddamn hands off me. Open the door. Don't go for the shotgun. Just open the door. My leg! It's broken. Come here. Ow! Ow! Ow! Move. You know the routine, old man. Hands behind your back. Arms behind your back and walk. My leg. Move aside. My arm. What's broken, your arm or your leg? Your face. Come on. Let's go. Take it easy. Take it easy. Okay. Let them all go. Bring his fat ass back here. Do it! Come on. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. - Come on, get up! - Come on. Come on. Get up here. Come here, goddamn it. - Come on. Come on, move it! - Get me out of here! - Get out! - Move it! Unh! Shit! Shit! Steal the car, go to hell. Shit. Hey, buddy. Whoo! Let's go. Come on. Whoo! I told you I'd get you out. I did it. Ugh! Billy! Oh, God. Oh, God. It should have been me in jail. Not you. It should have been me. Do you forgive me? I forgive you, Billy. I'm glad, man. I couldn't... I couldn't have that hanging over me for the rest of my life. Billy... You think that ought to hold you? And some whisky. I wouldn't sell meat without whisky. What are you doing up this way? Hunting. In a suit? Heh. What kind of hunting? Pink flamingos. State police have rounded up 12 of the 18 prisoners in yesterday's prison bus escape. Authorities said that the six prisoners still unaccounted for are to be considered possibly armed and dangerous. The bus... You ever see any pink flamingos? No, sir. Never have, never will. You sure? Yes, sir. How much? - Do we have to go now? - Yes. Thanks for leaving me this mess. You're welcome. And you didn't make your beds. Nope. Mommy, can we get another dog? We'll see, honey. Night-night. Night-night. You too, pal. Good night, Morn. Good night. Sleep well. Who named God "God"? God did. God named God "God"? Mm-hm. Why didn't he name himself Torn or Charlie? Can I put some salt on this, Morn? It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. That's the dynamite again, huh? Yes. Okay, honey. It's okay. Just eat your breakfast. Where's the salt, Mom? It doesn't need any salt, Mookie. Come on. Just a little. Bree, did you move the salt shaker? No. I don't believe this. E.T. took it. He did. Mookie. He was here. I heard him. When? Last night. E.T.'s make-believe, honey. He is not. He was here, Mom. Mookie, you've got to stop making things up. I'm not. You are. Please stop it! "World's greatest dad." Hey, Sam, this is me, Billy. I wish I can be there to split all that money. But I guess if you're listening to this, then it's all yours now, right? Heh. Well, you deserve it, man. Being in prison all that time because of me. Hey, I wonder which way I'm headed. Either way, up or down, I guess I got a fifty-fifty chance of meeting Elvis, huh? Heh, heh. How do you like that suit I picked out for you? Anyhow, lay low and don't go getting into things the way you sometimes do. Oh, and, Sam, I'm glad I knew you. Come in. Oh, come in, Lonnie. Come in, come in. I want you to meet Mr. Dunston. Lonnie Poole. Hey. He'll be taking care of certain aspects of security and surveying. Hey, well, don't mind me. I already briefed Mr. Dunston on the situation here. So how are things with Mrs. Anderson? She's hardheaded but we're gonna work it out. We're gonna need her parcel and the Lewis place next to her. Well, it's 120 acres in the middle of the development. I know that, Mr. Hale. We gotta go forward without them. What's your security training, Mr. Dunston? Cleveland Police Department. Why did you leave? Pick a card. Heh, heh, heh. Take it. Take it. Oh, go on. Pick a card. You got it? Yeah. All right, put it back in the deck. Let me ask you a question, Lonnie. This Anderson woman, you fucking her? None of your goddamn business. Who is this guy? Didn't mean anything by it. I don't have to take this shit. I didn't mean anything by it, man. I'm sorry. Hey.- Was that your card? No. No? I must be slipping. Lonnie, why don't you go back to work. Hey, good to meet you, Lonnie. Sorry about that. You know, I'm not too optimistic about our young friend's success. Some of these landowners can be hard nuts to crack. Then we use a hammer. That was nice. It was. He come to see you again? I don't wanna talk about this, Lonnie. You know they're blasting over at the Braemer's again. Turn the whole thing into a lake. I know. My whole house shakes. So what? Well, these people, when they want something, they can play rough. What are you saying? I worry about you. I live here. They don't scare me. You're something, you know that? I'll see you. I'm not gonna give up my home. E.T., is that you? How come you didn't throw the ball back? Did you come down from outer space? No. How come you've got a gun? Are you a bad guy? No. You like boobs? Sometimes. I think they're gross. I think they're totally gross. My name is Mike. But everybody calls me Mookie. What's your name? Sam. Well, see you tomorrow, Sam, okay? I may not be here tomorrow. Don't you know how to start a fire? You have to let the air get in or it's not going to burn. Going to cook something? A steak. Let me have it. I'll cook it for you. Shit. Mookie? Oh, God. Do you have to ruin everything? I can be here. You're not the boss of me. This is my sister, Bree. This is Sam. I'm going to cook him a steak. Me and my dad, when we go camping, he let me be the cook. You don't remember that. Yes, I do. You were too little. Morn said. I remember. Where's your dad now? Dead. He had a "nurdism." An aneurysm. Don't you even know anything? He's in the cemetery. He's a skeleton. He is not. Mookie? Bree? Well, we've gotta go. Bye, Sam. Hey.- Don't tell anyone you saw me here, okay? Why not? Because he doesn't want us to, all right? Come on. I'm gonna tell Mom. You better not, I'll tell Morn you smoke. I do not. You do now. Mommy, what happened to him? No! No! No! No! No! - Get away! - Mommy. Morn. Mom, who are these guys? Stay down. Stay down. Get out of the truck. You're scaring my children! Get out of the truck. Leave them alone. Sam. Who the hell are you? I'm the parking attendant. And you're bothering my customers. Come on. Ah! Stay there. Who are you? He's my friend. His name is Sam. Are you just gonna let him stand there? What are you hunting? Deer, mostly. Deer is out of season. Yeah, and jack rabbit. We've got lots of rabbits, Morn. I don't allow hunting on my property. I'm mostly camping. I don't allow camping either. Who were those men? Come on. Come on, kids, up to bed. Can we stay up for a little while? No. I mean it. Let's go. We didn't say good night to Sam. Say good night and let's go. I'll be right up. Where are you from? Quebec. What do you do there? What difference does it make? It's an innocent question. I'm a lawyer. Where did you learn to fight like that? Law school. Who were those guys? Poachers, I suspect. Thank you for the coffee. Good night, ma'am. Wait. You don't have to sleep in the woods. Sleep in my barn for a night or two. No, thanks. You can hunt here all you want. I thought you didn't allow hunting. Maybe I changed my mind. You're afraid those guys will be back? Forget it. Wait. How much? How much for the barn? You don't have to pay me. Are you sure? Yes. Out of the way. Out of the way. Bree, I've told you about running in front of the truck. You don't go in front of the truck like that. Look, I have told you. Heh, heh. It's not funny. I'll be right back. Did not. Hi. I thought you might wanna wear these. Who the hell are you? I'm a friend of Clydie's. Yeah. What's your name, friend? Sam. Got a wallet in those pants? An ID? Sure. Lonnie? In here. I'm naked. It doesn't bother me at all. Who is this guy? What are you doing? Who is he? He's my cousin from Quebec. He told me he was your friend. My third cousin on my mother's side. What's wrong with you? Lonnie, this is ridiculous. Put the gun down. Sorry. Can I talk to you a second? Do you want some more? Yeah. Thanks. Can you pass the salt? The old bike in the barn, I would like to buy it. How much will you pay for it? I don't know, 200? Three. Take it or leave it. I'll take it. Are you gonna go away on it? I'll have to fix it first. It's too broken to be fixed. He's got a big penis. Bree! He does. He was in the pond, washing. He's got an average penis. How do you know? Because I saw it. Already? I don't wanna hear anymore about penises. Are you gonna sleep in her bed? I said that's enough. No one's gonna sleep in my bed except me. Did you change your mind? You want to help me? No. It's a good offer. A better offer than you'd get if you sold to anyone else. Well, I don't wanna sell it to anyone else. I don't wanna sell it. Mrs. Anderson, I know your financial situation. Forgive me if this is a trifle indelicate. You might not be able to make your payments. And if you can't make your payments, the bank will be forced to foreclose. That's because you bought into the bank. The bank never used to foreclose until you came. Nevertheless, you must understand... It will take a month to get the order to foreclose. She'd get a lawyer. He would file a writ. That would delay a couple of months. You would have to go to trial. If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. Forgive me. You are who, exactly? My cousin Sam. Oh, hello. Franklin Hale. I'm delighted to meet you. Thank you for your time, Mrs. Anderson. Gentlemen, shall we? Bye. Astonishing, isn't it? One little woman in the middle of a wheat field. And what is she doing? She's fucking us up. My proposed development is one of the largest of its kind in the West And represents a total investment in your community of nearly $1 billion. Now, what we're talking about here is natural beauty. I must tell you, I mean, this valley of yours, it's one of the most extraordinarily beautiful places I've ever seen. I mean, it's quite remarkable. And I do want to assure you, under no circumstances would my company or myself ever dream of desecrating such beauty. But you have in this town a lot of land which can be used more efficiently. And in a way that everyone would benefit. I wanna guarantee everyone... You should be ashamed of yourself, selling your heritage to this pitchman. Tom, you're out of line. Build your damn golf course around me. I'm not selling my land. Let him speak. He has the right to speak. Please, please, let him speak. My dear sir, at first glance, there's bound to be opposition to a plan like this. But your council people, who you have elected, they understand the wisdom of our ideas. They have endorsed them rather enthusiastically. It don't matter. I know the tactics your people are using. That's not gonna work. Nobody's gonna tell me what to do with my land. It's okay, Tom. They can't make us sell. You sure? Are you sure about that, Clydie? Let's go. Let's get out of here. Sam! Sam! Something's wrong. Come on, wake up. What? Come on. Come on. It's our neighbor's barn, Sam. Mookie, wake up your mother. Tell her to call the fire department. Go. Go! Tom! Are you okay? My husband's in there. Help him. Stay back. Stay! Okay. Help him. Please help him. Oh, please. Come on. Come on. Hiyah! Hiyah! Let me help. Come on. Pull him out. Push or pull. Hiyah! Get out! Come on! Get that one. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hiyah! Hiyah! Go, go! Let's go! Hiyah! Hiyah! Torn! Oh, my God. Oh, Tom. Are you okay, honey? Are you okay? Are you all right? The gas tanks. They're gonna go! Move back. Get back. Oh, my God. Clydie, the tanks are gonna blow. Get back! Get back! Wow. Come on, we'll be all right. I never saw anything like it. Did you get burned? No. I was lucky. Sam, are you gonna go home now? Are you going to stay? For a while. You're gonna go home sometime, aren't you? Sam... I really don't remember my dad, not like I say I do. It's okay. You did good, Mookie, discovering the fire. I wasn't scared. I know. Good night. Good night. I've been out here on my own ever since my husband died. I always thought I could handle whatever came up. I don't know why I'm telling you this. I don't even know you. Sam... ls that your real name? Yes. Sometimes you just get tired. I'll be okay tomorrow. Things will be better in the morning. Thanks. What is this stuff for? For the brakes. Without it, the bike won't start. - What about this? - That's gasket sealant. Hey, what kind of car you working on? It's not for a car. A motorcycle. It's a moto... A what? Motorcycle. Motorcycle. Yeah. You're not from around here, are you? Neither are you. That's right. Neither am I. Hey, you're that Canadian guy, right? Pulled old Tom Lewis out of his burning barn. You're the guy, right? You're him. He also saved all the horses too. He did? Wow. That must have really been something. So, what kind? What kind of what? What are we talking about? What kind of motorcycle are you working on? A Triumph. Triumph. They don't make them like that anymore. Do they? No, they don't. No, they don't. Let's go. Yeah, see you. Hey, good luck with the motorcycle. How long does it take to learn how to drive one of these? I can show you right now. I don't wanna know. As long as you know what you're doing. Don't get caught. You understand? I thought the local law was taken care of. Yeah, he's been paid, but I'm not sure he's bought. It's not for you to worry about. Who's worried? Good. That your card? Yeah. How did you do that? Magic. Mommy, is that your wedding? Yep. Come on in. Want some coffee? Thank you. Sam, that's my dad. Come on, look at him. Mommy, why is Daddy carrying you like that? Because that's what the groom does. He carries his wife off, so they can start their new life together. - That's me. - So little. I bet he was a good kisser. Yes, he was. It's very beautiful here. It's the Valley of the Moon. That's what we called it. Can you smell the violets? There's no prettier smell on earth than the smell of violets. You're not used to all this. You're not married, are you? Used to be. A long time ago. You miss your husband, don't you? Yes. There are days when I miss him very much. Would you like to sleep in my room tonight? You're a very special woman. I'll see you tomorrow. You're tuned to Night Sounds where it's 1:30 in the morning and a very pleasant 65 degrees. Hi. Hi. It's late, Lonnie. No later than it usually is. Come here. What's the matter? I just don't feel like it. Okay. Kids up? No. What's the matter? You still upset about the Lewis' barn? It has nothing to do with the barn. Then what? I don't know. Well, when you figure it out, you let me know. Guess she won't be growing much here now. Ha! Ha! Son of a... Come here! Strike three. You're out. I don't know how much you know about business, Mr. Dunston. These things can be a little complicated. Let me clarify the situation. What it comes down to is this: If I don't have Mrs. Anderson's land by this week, I lose my permits. If I lose permits, I lose this deal. If I lose this, I'm out of business. Now, if you and your little pissant army can't persuade one woman to sell me her land, I may have to find someone who can. So, Lonnie Poole, what did you find out about him? I know he's not her cousin. Good, Lonnie. Look, I don't care who he isn't. This asshole is really beginning to bother me. Now I have to go out there, present him with some options to sticking around here. Listen. I take it as a favor if you give me first crack at making that presentation. Really? Really. Fine. Clydie is not here. I know that. I never did see that identification. I thought we'd been through this. Stop right there. Put your hands up against the barn door. Move! Spread them. Are you arresting me? Maybe. What for? I haven't decided yet. Ugh! Why don't you just leave her alone? Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! You're fucking it all up. For everybody's sake, just get out of here. Ugh! If you cared for her, you would not be doing this. Sam? Sam. What happened? Ugh! Does this have anything to do with what happened in the pasture last night? Goddamn it. Who did this to you? It was personal. Why do you do that? Why don't you talk to me? I don't know who you are, why you're here. Do you want me to go? Yes. No. I don't know, I... I don't know what I want. I don't know what I'm doing. Hi, Mom. Hi, honey. Where's your sister? I don't know, playing somewhere? Where's Sam? He's still asleep. Uh-uh. He's not in the barn. He stayed in my room. All night? Mm-hm. All right. Can I go see him? Honey, he's really tired. Let him sleep for a few more hours. A few more hours? What did you do to him? Mookie. Hello? Hello? Hi. Hi. Does this little girl belong to you? - Bree, what were you doing? - I was playing. He wanted to play with me. He can pull a magic card out from my ear. He can? Come here. Mrs. Anderson, you shouldn't let the child run around. Do I know you? Nope. Go inside. Bye. Bye-bye. Well, I'm surprised to see that you're still here. No, you're not. Yes, I am. If I see you near her or the children, I'll kill you. Look, you seem like a smart fella. The woman isn't worth it. And I tell you, when push comes to shove, you're not gonna be dealing with some tin badge, local sheriff guy. You're gonna be dealing with me. Okay? I look forward to it. Me too. Yeah, for now. Whoa! FBI just left my office. What do you want? I know who you are. I'm gonna do everybody a favor. Leave, just go somewhere else. Do it right now or I'm not gonna be able to stop what'll happen. What about Clydie? What about this place? You're making it much worse for her than it was ever supposed to be. If you care for her, you'll go. Jesus. I was a thief. I don't care. There was a bank. And the guard got shot. So you're a murderer. No. A boy, Billy. I took him with me on a couple of jobs. The guard was going to shoot me. Billy shot him first. But I was taken. You had no right. Damn you, you had no right to come into our lives. You have to go. You're going to lose this place. No, I am not. I can take care of myself. I was doing just fine before you came here. I have been alone a long time. So have I. Now! Mookie, you're it. Whoa. I said you're it. Clydie, I thought it might be easier talking to you on tape, but now I'm not so sure. Yeah, this is excellent, Lonnie. This is excellent. Why'd you let him go? You'd be famous now if you'd collared him. Now doesn't seem the time to have this place crawling with state cops and FBI, does it? You're quite right, Lonnie, quite right. Now, that's what I like about you, Lonnie, you're always thinking. Well, it shouldn't be too difficult to break Mrs. Anderson's resistance now. Hm? I'm gonna work on that right away. Thank you, Lonnie. I don't care if our local sheriff says he's left town. I still think he's dangerous. Me too. I think we should take personal charge of the situation. Today, a little cooler tonight, dropping down to the 50s. But tomorrow, another sunny day, so make your plans. It's gonna be a beautiful day out there. - Hey, Pete. - Hey. - What's new with you? - Nothing. Hello. Excuse me. That bike parked out front belong to you? Yeah. Did you restore it yourself? It needed a little work. It was nothing. Where are you from? Quebec. Drive her here all the way from Canada? Yeah. You must be a good mechanic. Coffee? Please. Gonna have anything to eat? What do you got? Well, today's special is meat loaf. It's not bad. Or you can have the rest of that guy's steak. Mookie? Clydie, I thought it might be easier talking to you on tape, but now I'm not so sure. I can never change what I did, no matter how much I regret it. Mookie's going to hear lots of things about me. Most of them won 't be true. Please say goodbye to him for me. Tell him I never meant for anyone to get hurt, especially him. Ah! Go, go! Go! Gather around! Over there, move! Hiyah! - Hiyah! - Hiyah! Shit. Sixty-four to base. Son of a bitch. Get a chopper here now. I want him trapped. Mom, what are you doing? Just locking up. We never lock up. Well, we're gonna start. Mommy, are you scared of something? Honey, I'm just being cautious. That's different from being scared. My turn. Clydie. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Kentucky Avenue. Who has that? Nobody. Oh, a six. Where's...? Where is it? Where am I? Ah! Run! Run! Go get the kids. Get the kids. Run! What do you want? My God! Argh! John, try using the stairs. - Bree, upstairs. - Open the door, kid. Open the goddamn door! I'll climb out the window, look for help. You can't do that. You'll fall. I've done it before. I'm gonna tell Mom. Mom. Bree. The other little shit went out the window. Please don't hurt my children. Clydie? Clydie? Clydie? What's the matter? Lonnie! Ah! Now, go find the other kid. I'm over here, you big, fat jerk. Come on out, kid. Come on, son. I wouldn't hurt you. Shh. Sam. Stay here. Stupid shit. I'm gonna kill that little son of a bitch. Ugh! All right, no more threats. No more bullshit. You know what we're here for. I'm not gonna hurt her. What are you doing...? Please. Mommy. Mommy. You stay in there and no noise. I'm sick of this town. I'm sick of you. I wanna go home. Now, sign the fucking contract. Here's a pen. Sign the contract. I'm sorry it had to come to this. Right here. Very good. Go to hell. Get out now. Go. This is my house. No. We can't leave before the fire. What? I'm afraid I can't take the risk. Al, if you will. Ah! No! Watch her. Watch her. Where is he? Get up. Sam. Sam. Leave him alone. No. Ah! Sam. You okay? Just stay behind me. Sam! Au revoir, fucker. - Clydie. - Sam. Don't come any closer. Let her go. Don't think of it. Let her go! Stay back. Stay back. Throw the gun down. Throw the gun down now. Throw the gun down. Do it. Bree? Mom. Okay. Put your hands above your head. I'm Franklin Hale. I own this valley. Turn around and face the house. There's an escaped convict in there. Turn and face the house. Do it! Go. You can still get away. No. Sam Gillen! The house is surrounded. Come out with your hands above your head. Why do they want you? You didn't do anything wrong. A long time ago, I did some things I was not supposed to do. Are they gonna take you to jail? Yes. I don't want you to go. I've got to go. I don't want you to. Good bye, Mookie. Good bye, Mookie. Goodbye, Bree. Bye, Sam. Are you coming back? I'll find a way. Somehow I'll find a way to come back to you. No matter how long it takes. We'll be here. I know. I love you. I love you too. You saved a lot of lives here. That ought to count for something. It's okay. Sam. Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, Sam. Go. You bastard. Do you know who I am? I know what you are. |
