Sugar Mountain (2016)
1
As the search for miles west continues, hope for finding the young man alive is decreasing. In these conditions, the real dangers are exposure, hypothermia, and starvation. In locals new today, Liam west, the brother who originally reported miles west missing, was seen driving with Lauren Huxley, the girlfriend of miles. Miss Huxley is the daughter of police chief Huxley, who has said again that there is no evidence of foul play in the disappearance. I don't know why I treated you the way I did. I just want you to know I love you. Cause I don't know if I'm gonna make it back. Look at this, man. Fuck yeah! You wanna try to get into this? Liam! What's up, baby? Liam! Come on, man. It's a party. Liam! Liam! Liam! Six hundred grand. I warned him. I said, kid, don't wrap the line around your fingers. Six hundred grand. That's three hundred grand a finger. He was a concert pianist. So they reattached them. Well, apparently they don't work so good. Miles, can you get my... Fuck it, you know? We're the ones that found their finger anyway. If there was any justice in the world, - we would've gotten a slice. - Miles, can you please get my... Alright, alright. I'm taking a shower. Here I go. My underwear. They settled the insurance months ago. I don't know why he keeps... Here. Kinda wet. Mom's bringing her kids today. I just really don't wanna be late. So, how much would I get if I lost a finger? What if I lost an arm? Not the same thing. You can lose all of your limbs. The kid's fingers are worth more. Remember that dude in Utah? In the desert? Got stuck under that rock, had to chop off his arm. Dude made a killing. From selling his story, not insurance. Yeah, I'd sell the story. Right. Man chops off arm in insurance scam. It's a great story. Okay, I'm sorry it didn't work out. Go ahead. Get on the bus. Who's ready to see some fish? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Wait, wait, wait. Nah, we're good. We can make this happen. We'll have her ready in no time. Uh, I don't think so. I'm sorry, mom. No, I'm sorry. I'll call you later, okay? It's my fault. It's all me. Notice of possession. Sugar mountain coastal charters will remain closed until further notice. The port authority. No, that's a mistake, Liam! Hey, I'm gonna call the bank. I'm gonna sort this out. No, no, what the hell! Four months late on your boarding fees. Insurance is overdue again. What? No, Warren knows that we always... No, it was Warren that called it in. He can't carry you kids no more. Yeah. Well, thank you very much. So... The good news is we have a month before they try and sell her. We'll get her back. We, uh... We just need cash and fast. You fucking knew. Right? That's why you've been talking fraud. Well, see... I've been thinking about this for a while. Mom captained this thing for twenty-one years and we lose it in three. Alright, man, I'm serious. All we're missing up on that mountain right there... Boy, we'd have a hell of a story. It's stupid. Hey, hey, whoa now. People make money all the time from being stupid. I read about this girl who hid in cupboard for years. There's this Australian guy, he got lost in the Himalayas, survives off a Mars bar, sells his story to 60 minutes. I'm not kidding, man. This is serious. I can pretend to go missing up on that mountain. Yeah, with no survival skills and no sense of direction. You'd get lost and die. But you would train me. You'd still get lost and die. Okay, you'd have to do it. He knows the mountains too well. No one would believe that he got lost. - Thank you. - You'd have to do it. Ooh. Are you trying to get rid of me? No, who'd wanna get rid of you? But at least I can finally get some sleep. Oh okay. Maybe you're just trying to get alone with Liam. I don't know. Liam, do you snore? I really don't know. I don't think anybody knows. Can we just go? Hey. I was talking to Bob mills today. There's work going on at the reindeer farm. Cash in hand. And James will be headed back to Seattle soon so they'll be work here. Or I can just shoot Carol and you can start tonight. I got it, I got it. Ah! You know, you should reconsider joining the force. Then I'd have to leave here. No, you wouldn't. You can get station here. I can put in a good word. I happen to know the chief of police. Thanks, thanks. You know, you should talk to miles about this, too. Him and I are both looking for work. Miles? Join the police force? What are you kidding? No, I don't think so. Think about it. I think you'd make a good cop. See you around. Here's the best part of it. We're not hurting or robbing anybody. We're selling a story. It feels wrong. You wanna know what's wrong? It's the harbor screwing us for missing a couple of payments. Some kid making a fortune for being an idiot. Mom getting lung cancer. Never even smoked. You know? Here he is. There you go. I think we shaved off ten minutes. It's not a race, miles. That said... I can do it faster. You know, ten days is nothing. I was reading about this nine-year-old autistic kid. Survives for twelve days down in Nevada. I could do two weeks. No. I'd fight a wild animal. - What? - You know, like a bear. Maybe not a bear, you know. But one of those Grey wolves like uh... Sharkey saw down there at barker's creek. Coyote. There aren't any wolves in this area. See the thing is, I'd come back with all these scratches all over my head and sell the story right there. Hey. We already settled on your story. Yeah. I will survive off of moss and lyceum. That is riveting. Home sweet home. Hey, I only agreed to do this if we did it my way. When you get back, I'm moving out. You're the only one who can cook, man? Who's gonna watch e! News with Lauren? Her boyfriend. Yeah well, I don't know for how much longer. She's starting to get clingy, man. She's always talking about kids and... It's a shame, too, because boy, the sex. Okay. I mean, we can't do it right now because we're involved in this whole thing and she's involved. But yup. Once this is all settled, she's gone. Just me and you, brother. - No. - Come on, just take it. Mom, I'm not taking anymore. Sweetie. It's not for him, it's for you. I'm gonna pay you back. I know exactly how much I owe you. I don't care about money. What's this? - Their dryer broke. - Oh yeah? You want your Halibut steamed or grilled? Your dad's on a diet now. - Can you believe it? - Oh my god, no. How much did you give her this time? You either live here or you live over there with him. - Got that? - Mhm. I'm sorry for using your dryer. And when are you going back to Seattle? - As soon as I can. - As soon as you can. You been gone two semesters already, you know? There's no point in getting mad at her. Just let it go. What? Have you been writing about the hoax? Of course not. I remember stealing your diary when you were eleven. I reported that to your dad. I wanted you arrested. Yeah. And he wanted to arrest your dad. What? I showed him what you wrote. Right, right. I have an idea, but it means I'm gonna need to steal your diary again. Liam, come on. Liam! You're kidding about this, right? It's not real. I want to flip her and thrust into her. We need people to think I'm jealous. That I'd wanna kill you. You're left for dead and he gets falsely accused. And explode onto her back like a geyser. So when you return it's a better story. It's two stories. We double our money. I love it. But they're gonna think you're an asshole. I mean, you can't use this stuff. Come on. This is filthy. Okay. Can I have it back now? When I finish reading it. You're done reading it. Oh. Give me one of those. Here, buddy, buddy, buddy. Bon Jour! Hey, Angie. Creamer. Yeah. When do you go? A few days before I start classes so I can have a little look see. And park Disneyland. Hey, Liam. Is miles good? No, miles is bad. He is not. Not to me. He doesn't treat me like a retard. I'm sorry, I'm just kidding. So is that it? No, I need a hunting knife. What are you hunting? Miles. It's for miles. Oh, the moose on the handle is the best one. Only four hundred bucks. Miles deserves that one. It's only sixty. Cool. Should I put it on your account? Thanks. We'll settle up soon. Yeah, of course. No hurry. Moose on the handle's better. He's exhausting. I'll trade you brothers. Depends. Do I get miles or you? Yes, miles, I got the knife. Josh rang it through. Great, that's even better, man. Oh! Number four! You ready? We gotta go. We gotta do this. - We gotta do it right now. - I don't know, man. - I'm not up to it. - Come on, Liam. - It'll be fine. - Let's do this. Number four. Who's got number four? Liam west, check your friggin' ticket. - Liam! Dude! - Four! A dozen fudge muffins from Angie Miller. Who is off to Paris next week to become a cosmetologist. Does it have to be tonight? Yeah. - Let's just do it. - Here you go. The winner is... Ah! Number four! Eddie! Hey, hey! Okay. Thank you, guys. Thank you very much. Come on, man. No more cheating, alright? No, who's cheating. I don't see anybody cheating. Jesus, miles. I don't wanna do this. Brother, we had a deal, okay? Now we gotta make this thing. Come on, let's go right now. It's alright. Oh, I thought you were still... Paroled. How about that? Nice, man. Sup, little runt? You good? - Yeah, I think so. - Yeah, you look good. How about I buy a round? Lend me 50. Hey, brother. Let's go grab a smoke real quick, alright? Let's do that. Hey, it's good to see you. How you doing? We'll be back in a couple minutes. Yummy. I mean, look at this, look at this. Look at all these people. Come on. And the winner is... Number three. How much do you owe me? Well, that's what I was gonna tell you about. See, Liam's kinda got me held down and I can't really... Hey. Hey. Hey! Look, in two weeks. It'll be over. You'll get the boat back. All my life, he's got me doing things that I didn't wanna do. I know, but you can't pull out now. He doesn't need me anymore. But I do. I can't do it without you. Hey, what the fuck you doing? Nothing. Hey, I'm talking to you. Come here. I saw you with your hands all over her. Not now. Come here, boy. You know it is true. You do look at her all the fucking time, don't you? - That's bullshit. - Yeah, nothing happened. I'm talking to you. Come on, guys. Knock it off. It's true. Now you tell her. Hey, that's enough. Break it up. You shit. You tell the fucking truth. Okay, you selfish prick. Man, you'll use anyone to get what you want. And you don't fucking deserve her. Damn! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Let him go! When you get to the frozen river what direction are you heading? North. I flipped you up on that pool table like it was the end of a hot date last night, didn't I? You alright? Yeah. You know it didn't mean anything, right? Miles. Alright, I'll catch you around. Excuse me. I'm kidding. - I'm kidding. - Don't do that. Come here, come here. I'll miss you. I'll miss you, too. Okay. We need to split up. Okay. Oh! Whoa! Yeah! Yeah, boy. That was a good one. That's a good one. Give me those. I know you're doing this for me. I love you for it. Ah! I'm sorry, man. Here we go. Man, I'm sorry. Really, I'm sorry. I'm gonna make this up to you, alright? I promise you that. Okay? What happened? Sit down. You're all bleeding. Sit down. Get him some water. Okay. It's miles. Miles? Fuck, fuck. Miles! All volunteers must first sign in in the red cross tent. You went through the forest right here? We were hiking up the south side of the peak. He's so competitive. Did you try his cell phone? He left it charging in the truck. You had a fight the night before. I thought a hike might help clear the air. Because you came onto Lauren? I wasn't. Then why was he so pissed? I mean, did something happen? No. So you're not interested in her? No. Why don't you have a girlfriend? I mean, I hear Angie Miller would like to take you out. What? Can we just go find him? Alright. Is he stressed or agitated? No, he was good. Did he say anything about Joe bright? They're old friends. Maybe he gave miles a reason to disappear. No, it's got nothing to do with Joe bright. He's just... he's lost. Mhm. And uh, how long did you look for him? Hours. And then I went back to truck and waited. And that's when you went and told Angie. Yes. Alright, that's it for now. You can go look for your brother. Liam. Keep your cell phone on. We only just got here. We got real good fluff yesterday. Well, if you see or hear anything... Yes, sir. I heard something. - When? - Yesterday. And this was on the north side of the mountain? Yeah, first we thought it was an animal. It kept going... And then there was a groan like it tripped or something. My brother heard it, too. Yeah, we went looking, but we didn't find anything. What time was this at, boys? After lunch, about two. No, miles was still with me at two. Okay. Good job, troops. Remember stay alert. Report anything you see or hear. Let's get back out there. With miles west missing for over 18 hours, a large media contingent has begun pouring into base camp. Sugar mountain police say rescue is crucial within the next 48 hours in these cold conditions. Put your arms around me. They're filming. How was it out there? Some scouts claim they saw miles. No. It's alright now. Hopefully they find the beanie soon. And Josh turned in the knife, right? I felt so bad lying to your dad. Don't feel bad. He's the biggest liar I know. He cheated on mom. She doesn't know. What? I overheard him one time on the phone. Told me the night of your 21st. That's why you got so drunk. I always thought it was something I said. I even tried to run away. Got as far as Anchorage. Yeah, where were you headed? San Francisco. I would've gone with you. The media and volunteers are pouring in as day three of the search for miles begins. But Peter, rumors are spreading about a fight the night before Mr. West disappeared. What do you make of that? Look, I can see why... Jim. Put the knife away. But I'm all prepared. I'm all prepared. Moose handler handle? It's what you should've bought him and not that other crappy knife. What are you talking about? Nothing. Josh... He bought miles a crappy knife. Wait, when? - And then he lost him. - Jim. Miles never mentioned it to me. Because I never gave it to him. You didn't give him the knife? There's bears out there. - I gotta go find him. - No. Hey, hey, hey, hey! I already told you. You're not going anywhere, alright? Get him out of here. Come on, Josh. You heard him. So uh... What did you do with the knife? I, uh... I lost it. Miles! Miles! We got something. Why'd you lie? I don't know. How did it start? I don't remember. Who threw the first punch? He did. And you don't remember why? I was dazed. When I came around, he was gone. Did you hit him back? Maybe. You'll have to do a lot better than that. Jesus. You know, I got the worst of it. You're here. I'd say he got the worst. Don't worry. He'll think it's you. So you don't think I could've said more. No, you did well. Like a deer in headlights. Yeah, well that wasn't acting. Have you seen my go-pro? Is this okay for an interview? Yeah, it looks nice. - Cool. - I like it. Oh, but fucking... Poor Josh, right? Oh my god. I know. Can you imagine the headline if they hadn't stopped him? Handicap kid survives in wilderness. It would've fucked us up. Yeah, well imagine handicap kid dies in the wilderness. That would've fucked us up more. He's okay though. Uh, he's pretty upset. Yeah, but when miles gets back, it's gonna be the best day of his life. It will. The whole town will have a party. See, that's the thing. What we're doing, it's actually bringing people together. Exactly. Seeing them all go out like that. Plus with all the attention we're getting, it's gonna bring more tourists. Yeah, I know. This could be the best thing that ever happened to sugar mountain. What about this one? I think the other one brings out your eyes a little more. Oh. Hey, thanks, really. Come on, it's nothing. How's Josh? Grounded. So... You must be all packed up and everything. I canceled. Angie, no. Why? Well, because... Well, mom and I are taking turns guarding Josh. Anyway, I wanted to be here for you both. Thanks. Yeah. So... Do you wanna eat some chili? I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid. Why did I do that? Angie. - Hey. - Hey. Please don't cancel. You've been planning this trip for ages. Okay, I'm just gonna admit something. I've always liked you. Yeah, I've always liked you, too. - And that's why... - Really? - Don't worry. - No, Angie. Hey, uh, I don't know. I don't wanna... - Yeah? - Okay. - Wow. - Yeah. Oh god. No, don't worry, don't worry. Oh shit. Oh my god, my foot is caught. My foot is caught. Okay, okay. Here. Well he seems to be taking his brother's disappearance well. What? It's not what it looks like. I just wanna go over a couple more details, okay? Tell me about your debts. What we owe for mooring. That's it. When that kid lost his finger, we had to resurface the decks to get reinsured. What about the loans that miles took out using the boat as collateral? What loans? You mean, you don't know about his gambling? What are you talking about? I'm talking about the numerous trips he took to BC to hit the casinos? I mean, you must have known... You would have. Okay. So they didn't tell you. Well I think he's a runaway. He wouldn't do that. Man loses his business, he owes me, and suddenly he disappears. You never liked him. You'd be happy if he was dead. I'd be happy if you'd open up your goddamn eyes. You should be looking for him. He's lost. I certainly hope so, sweetheart. Because I'd hate to think that all those people out there, risking their lives, while he's in some cheap motel ordering room service. Get out. Loyalty is admirable, but he screwed you. You don't owe him a god damn thing. You think about that. Goodnight. How much does he owe? He's gonna pay everyone back. So that's what this was all about? Him covering his debt? What does it even matter? We'd still be in this mess. What does it matter? I trusted you. Liam. What are you looking for? My go-pro. Miles took it. I thought it would be a good idea. For what? Shoot footage that'll prove the whole thing was fake? Of course not. Mom? Mom? Mom! What happened? She lost her footing. She took a big fall. She'll be okay. Clear all vehicles. It's okay. How is she? Broken collarbone, concussion. Thank you. What's going on out there? Well, I suspended the search. I'm so sorry, Liam. What for? It's all my fault. No, no, that's not why I did it. But I promised Annie I'd look after the boys. But we had two other falls. I wanted them to keep searching. He doesn't care what I want. It's selfish, huh? - Honey. - Liam. Sweetheart, listen to me. The doctor said you need to rest. Dad's right. Liam. Sweetheart, look at me. Give me a sip of your flask. What flask? - I don't have a flask. - Yes, you do. No, I don't. - Yes, you do. I don't have one. Hey. - Hey. - Hey. We're gonna keep looking. Dad said no volunteers. He can't stop us. We got about twenty guys already. Yeah, but after what happened I don't think it's... Look, if we don't find him soon, he's a goner, man. Yeah. The reporters are still talking about that maniac. And the knife. Everybody knows you couldn't hurt a fly. Okay, look. Bottom line we find the schmuck and we end this thing. Once and for all. Are you coming or what? I'll be there. Alright. How do we stop them? I have an idea. Come on. What's happened? Chief Huxley needs to see you. Okay. Well I better go tell Lauren. Lauren's not here. December 4, can't get her out of my head. Wanna strip her naked, tie her up with sailing chord, - and suck her sweet... - Nipples. - Make her so wet and... - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brad, um, don't you have some paperwork to do or something. I could've been talking about anyone. Tomorrow I'll sort out the problem. How are you planning on sorting out the problem? I was gonna move out. Well where does it say that? It doesn't, but that doesn't mean that I would hurt miles. I mean, I wrote all that stuff about my dad. He moved to Oregon with his girlfriend. Son... I told you. We had a fight, he got lost. Unfortunately I don't believe you. You're under arrest. And just so you know, Sharkey and his crew won't be going out tomorrow. And that's all on you. Come on. Stand right there. Empty your pockets. Trespassing at the dry docks. That was two weeks ago. Belt. We've been busy. Keys. What about your daughter? Are you gonna book her for stealing my diary? This way. We'll hold you here til Monday and then the judge will set bail. Lauren? Today's paper. This has been a difficult time. While I still hold out hope that miles will be found, it's been eight days now and I'm preparing for the worst which is the possibility that I've lost two... That I've lost two people that meant the world to me. Did you know about the diary? No. Are you and Liam west having an affair? No comment. Do you think that Liam west killed his brother? Look she said no comment. Do you think that miles is still alive? Of course he is. More. Two more please. Ross down the corner. Back of the line Lorenz. Okay, Joe bright. Just... Thank you. Keep to yourself now. - You do that. - Thank you. I'll take top bunk. If miles didn't owe me three grand, I'd break your neck... What? You killed my man, motherfucker. How am I gonna collect, huh? When they find him... He's no good to me in a body bag, motherfucker. You killed him. You gonna pay. I don't have any money. You don't have no money? You don't have no money? You got money. You've got some money. You've got money. Hey, I got money for you, Joe bright. I'm gonna get it for you. I'm sorry I'm being an asshole. That's good, Liam. That's real good. Yes, you are an asshole. Yeah, you going to be pissing blood from that one. Stand up. And you're gonna shit blood. It's a bitch when there ain't no money, isn't it? It's a bitch when you lose your job. My mom was trying to help you. It's not her fault you got caught selling blow to tourists on her boat. Bradley! Help! Help! Joe, Joe, Joe! I don't care. I'll get your money. I'll pay you more. You gonna pay me more, huh? - Of course! Listen! - What? He's coming back. We're gonna be rich. - You're gonna be rich? - It's a hoax. Pardon me. It's a hoax. Hey! What's going on? Missed an exciting game. We got money on it. We don't have money on it. Lights out, gentlemen. When's he due back? Sunday. Yeah. I'm gonna take a nap. Liam. How you doing? I'm okay. Being on the boat with you and your mom, those were good times for me. I'm sorry for your loss. Well, Jim says you can go. Lay off the booze. Next time you will be charged. I'll see you in church. Excuse me. And so today, miles needs your prayers now more than ever. Hope is not lost. We must all be there for each other. Let us pray. Amen. Now go in peace to love and serve the lord. Sorry. We need to talk. As the search for miles west continues well into this eleventh day, hope for finding the young man alive is decreasing. In these conditions, the real dangers are exposure, hypothermia, and starvation. Not to mention, the threat of wildlife. Come in. Miles is in trouble. Well, yeah, it's been ten days. No, look at him. He's acting weird. What are we gonna do? Let him go. Let him go? I got a hunch. You get right back out there, I'll take care of him. You're free to go. I think you should just drop me off. I'm not dropping you off. You're not going. What if somebody needs to wait with him while you go get help? I'm going. Come on. The cave is around two miles away. Delta nine, delta one. Delta nine, go ahead. I followed them to the north side. Get the dogs and the searches onto the north side, do you copy? North side? Are you sure, north side? Yes, the north side. Do you copy? Copy that. You tired? - Liam. - Lauren. Liam. Okay. Just back up slowly. Alright, alright. Okay, come on. Delta one, delta nine. Delta one. I think the tracker dogs have picked up miles' scent. Good, ignore Liam and Lauren. Find miles. Roger that, chief. Yeah. Okay, we're not far now. Miles! Miles! Miles? Fuck. Oh god. He's not here. He never even made it here. Fuck! He's gone. What happened to the frame? Joe bright came looking for miles and I had to pay him off. He took your mom's jewelry. I'm going. Where? I'll call you in a couple of days. No, we need to work out what we're gonna say. You don't say anything. If they catch me, I'll leave you out of it. Please don't go. I knew we shouldn't have done it, Lauren. I know. You did it because you loved him. I did it because I loved you. - Give me the keys. - Get out of my way. Just give me the keys, Liam. Just give me the keys. Sorry. I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. - You okay? - Yeah, I'm okay. - What? - No, I can't. What are you doing to me? Liam? Yeah. Oh. We found him. What, what? Is he? Yeah, he's alive. Put some clothes on. Let's go. What the hell? What the fuck is this? Dad, I uh... Fuck. Fuck! Put some clothes on, the both of you! Morning, champ. Just so you know, you can drop all the bullshit. I know it was a hoax. I was lost. I was lost. Lost. Mhm, yeah, yeah. I already got that. Why'd you keep going up? I mean, if you just kept walking down, you would have found a trail and some signs. I was angry. I was... Okay. When you're ready to chat, just give me a call. He has a torn bicep. Dehydrated, hypothermic. Can I see his medical records? Of course. He almost died. What more do you need? Are you here to see your boyfriend? Yeah, are you gonna stop me? No, no, go right ahead. Honey, wait up. Look uh, I need to... What? We're gonna need to talk. You and I. Okay. I fell. I lost my map. I had to find some shelter. I tried to go up, I tried to go down and... I was lost. Babe, do you need anything? He needs to rest now. Of course. Fuck. Hey, Liam. Look how fast I scale this bad boy now. Let's see how this works. Okay. Okay. Where's the sun? The damn sun never gets high enough here. Is that it? Or is that it? Seems like a good shelter. It's nothing. I can't climb. I almost feel bad for him. I haven't eaten in two days. Ah, fuck. Campfire cooking with miles. Definitely prefer chicken. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. So what I'm thinking right now is that I'll come up over this little hill right here. This will take me to the side of the mountain. But I don't know. You've seen how my luck's been. And there's white snow. That sun is gonna set. It reminds me of you. When we first met on the boat. Remember that? I really fucked it up, Liam. I don't know why I ever treated you the way I did. I just want you to know I love you. Because I don't know if I'm gonna make it back. Tracy? Honey, is that you? It's me, dad. What, is it mom? No, no, she's fine. Okay. So... Please, have a seat. - I'm good. - Just sit down. - I don't need to. - Just sit down. Just tell me. Liam. What did she say? Thanks. So we've been getting offers... I think we should start thinking about a price. Yeah, listen... I'm so sorry. But I can't do it. What did you say? I can't do it. I promised. What are you talking about? Mom, she appeared to me. That last day. I'd given up. I had given up at that point. She appeared to me, she showed me the way out. You sure it was mom? Yup. She addressed me as idiot. And I swore to her, I said, mom... I'm gonna promise that I'm gonna make you proud for the rest of my life. No way did she appear to you. You weren't there when she was dying. You were too gutless. I was the one. I was the one who went to the hospital every day. Where were you? You see, miles, I loved her. I watched the light go out of her eyes. She appeared to you? She appeared to you? If she was gonna appear to anyone, she would appear to me. Okay, that's enough. You have to go now. What's enough? This is my brother. - I'm talking to my brother. - Liam. If you don't leave right now, I'll have to call security. You're gonna call security. Why don't you leave us alone? We'll leave, we'll leave. We're really sorry. - Oh, we're leaving. We have to... - Yeah, we're gonna leave. It's fine. Alright. - Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm alright. I'm just uh... He didn't mean that. It's just... Four old messages. Please get him to call... Tuesday, 10:10 am. Damn. I think we're on the verge of a bidding war. And when it's all over, we might be able to get away for a bit. What do you think? Let's see what miles thinks. - Here. - Thanks. Liam west, prick. I hope you die. How you doing, champ? Ah, chief Huxley. You wanted to talk to me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grab a seat right there. Look... I know you don't like the way I do things. - But I've changed. - Oh. And when I ask Lauren to marry me... Yeah, it would mean a lot to me if I had your blessing. Okay. Oh, you boys are funny. Yeah, it's very sweet. And here I was thinking you were gonna come clean. Why are you so convinced? What, that you're lying? You're an aces fan, aren't you? Alaska aces? Yeah, yeah. Well the Alaska aces played the Las Vegas wranglers and you asked Liam to record it eight days before they played which could only mean one thing. You planned on being away. You haven't changed one bit. Oh, and as for my blessing, I'd be more concerned about hers, champ. Yeah, but he's had better offers. $200,000. More than that. We'd be prepared to go as high as 300,000 for exclusive rights. Yeah, yeah. Great, I'll tell him. Thanks. Oh, and one more thing. You know, I went through quite the ordeal, too. That's not the angle we're going for. No, no, I just thought... So do you think you could get miles to call us? Lauren. Thank you. They said you needed a few more days. Ah... I'd wanna surprise you. - Hey. - Hey. This is some good chili. Did you learn some new recipes? Took you long enough to light that fire. Anyway, it's awesome. Yeah, and really moving. Yeah, when you fell, Jesus. No one would ever believe that, but you have it all on video. You can name your price. Yeah. I think I'm gonna go lay down. You coming? It's a bit early. Dolan. Those scouts you spoke to... AK troop 36. Anchorage. Yeah. Give me the address of the two boys. The ones that heard miles. We don't know it was miles, sir. It could put him on the wrong side of the mountain the day he vanished. Prove it was all a lie. But they didn't actually see him. Just get the address. He's not budging. So what do we do now? Did you sleep together? Did you? You fucking bastards. I'm sorry. Ten days alone with him. Is that was this was all about? You think I planned it? You planned everything else. If you would've said no, I would've never gone. What are you talking about? I did say no. You tricked me. Did I? No, but she did. You see, this whole thing, it's all her idea. Yeah, only after I gave you every cent I had. Only after you started talking about robbing 7/11's. Morning. Afternoon. Shit. I'm sorry. Yeah, me too. It was a scam. - We all lost our bearings. - Yeah. You know, I've been a real shit to you. I know it. - No. - No, I have. I'm gonna make that up to you. You and Lauren. Then sell the story. No lies. No more lies. You, you... it's a miracle. Liam. Just one interview. I'm gonna make it right. I can't do it like that. You know it's almost funny to go through all of this and end up with nothing. I don't want you to end up with nothing. Look, Jimmy... It's Billy. Billy, right. Billy, it's a terrible thing to lie, you know. Look um... I don't have a whole lot of time, you know. You need to tell me everything you know or we're gonna have to take a long drive in the dark back to the police station in sugar mountain and you're not gonna be riding shotgun, I can tell you that. David told me take it, I'll give it back. I promise. Huh? Good, good. You knew it was David, didn't we? Yeah, you just saved his butt. Can you uh, can you go get it for me? David, you gotta give the iPod back. Police, open up. Hey there. Let's talk outside. Yeah, let's talk outside. I told you, Liam. I'm not asking for much. I'd love to help you, but we don't have anything. He won't sell the story. There he is. Hey, Joe bright. Go back to bed. Hey. Hey, man, so I thought we were all squared. You know, Lauren was telling me that she paid you. Yeah, well I need a favor. - I'll deal with it. - Okay. 10,000 bucks. 10,000? Come on, bro. We don't have that kinda money. Yeah, but you can get it. You're a big, old star now. I said you won't. And I said you would. Well man, I won't. So you sat in your hiding hole for nothing? Now get to it or I'll sell my own little story. I am disappointed in you. Hey, hey, hey. I'll talk to him. Oh, you better talk to him. You're disappointed with Joe bright? He's two seconds away from breaking your neck. Yeah, well I thought I was getting through to him. Please call them, please. Make the call. Why? Why did you tell him? Because he beat the shit out of me. Extortion and violence. Brother, that's gotta stop. Give me the cash and it's gonna stop. Alright, look, you know I thought money would save everything, too. Right? Yeah. And then I stared death in the face. What? I walked into the mouth of hell, but I came out the other side, brother. What happened to me when I was up there on the mountain? Brother, that changed me. Okay? Let me take you there. It'll change you. What the fuck? I want the money. It won't help. That will not help you. Your life will still be shit. My life's gonna be shit? Hey, hey, hey. - Give me the fucking money. - Miles, just make the call. Just say that you'll pay him. Give me the fucking cash. No. Lauren, get the phone. Lauren, go get the phone. Come on, man. There's nothing you can do to me that's worse than what I've already been through. Miles. Well, you're crazy. Now look what happened. Make the call. Make the fucking call. - Just let him go. - Make the call, miles. This is between us. You let him go. Make the fucking call. I have it right here. Look, I got it. See there? That's a good girl. No, no, no! What, are you trying to fucking kill him? Guys, he's down. He's dead. He had a knife to my throat and you still wouldn't pick up the phone? Because you were in danger. I'm trying to help you out. I paid him to come here. This was fake? For all you knew, he was about to slit my throat, but you're too so fucking full of yourself... This is not my fault! - Are you stupid? - Miles! - Are you stupid? - Miles! It was my idea! What do you mean? What are you doing? You are stupid! Wait, wait! Wait, we need to do something with his body. - Miles! - Joe. Oh, god. Miles, don't leave. Get in, get in. - Oh shit. - Shit. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Pull the vehicle over now! Don't look back, just keep going. Oh my god, is he coming? Keep it straight, let's go, let's go. We gotta go. Just go faster. Just keep going down this road. He's coming up on your side. Watch out. Pull over! Pull over now! He's not gonna knock us off the road. Pull over now! Dad? Stop! Go, go, go, go, go! He's gone. Shit. Oh shit. What happened? What happened? Here. Shit. - Wait, what are you doing? - Changing the tire. No, there's no time. We have to hide his body first. Step away from the vehicle. Get down on your knees. Put your hands on your head. Step away. Get down on your knees. Lauren, step aside. Go on, honey. What the fuck is the matter with you, huh? We can explain. Yeah, yeah, you can explain down at the station. You boys are under arrest. You recognize this, huh? It's registered to you. It was found on the north side of the mountain. The exact same time you both claimed you were on the other side. It's hard evidence. You know what that means? Making false statements, hindering an investigation. Conspiracy to commit fraud. God damnit! You boys are so dumb. Alright, on your feet. Get in the car, let's go. Come on, let's go. Wait a minute. What's in the car? Nothing. Give me the keys. - Give them to me. - They're in the ignition. Alright, stay right where you are. You let them go. Can't do that, honey. Let them go or I'll tell. Tell them what? What are you talking about? Drop all of this or I swear I will tell everyone. That would be really stupid. Liam, I told you he had an affair. Will you let them go? You know I can't do that. It was with your mom. He also told me... That you're his son. How long did you know? Day after. Everything is a lie. You are all liars. No more lies. Look in the back of the truck. - Hey, hey, hey. - Whoa, whoa, whoa! It's over! Now look. Look. Stand back, stand back. What the fuck? Oh shit! No, no! Oh shit. Oh god. Dad! We say he tried to extort money. I told dad, who came to make an arrest to save the day. He's a hero. And I'm his daughter. It completes the story. And we sell it. We fucking sell it. Yeah, I mean he came around the back inside right here. He had both of us pinned down over here and she pulled the trigger. Thank you. You gotta go make a statement. Just remember, she saved our lives. I know. I'll do whatever you want. So what are you gonna do? |
