Honey, what are you doing?

It's almost

one in the morning.

I'm almost done.

Go back inside.

Joe.

[chop]

Look at me.

Hey.

I don't wanna put my dad

in a home.

He's the strongest man

I've ever known.

Now look at him.

I don't want Charlotte

seeing him like that.

I know.

But we're a family.

Okay?

And we will

make it through this.

Maybe this doesn't have

to be our decision alone.

You can talk to your dad.

Take him to the cabin.

Just you and him.

You know he loves it there.

Just get the conversation

started.

Hey.

- All right, this is it.

- Thank God.

[groans]

You sure it's good here?

Yeah. Joe's not

coming up here, man.

Oh, f***.

WESTON:
All right.

HALLETT:
Come on, man,

hurry up.

It's cold as sh*t up here.

Here.

All right, good, man.

We'll pick it up tomorrow.

F***.

Dude, I'm freezing.

Just f***ing take it

if you're f***ing cold.

Dude, I'm trying

to share with you.

Take the f***ing blanket, man.

[distant siren blaring]

Stay here.

Thank God.

Sh*t.

It's okay. Relax.

Don't worry about.

[car door closes]

- [car door closes]

- Thank you, sir!

You stupid motherf***er.

This is really funny

to you, huh?

That sh*t on the side

of the road, that's my life.

You should be worried

about Kassen.

I gotta make the call,

so shut the f*** up about it.

What's up, Kassen?

Are you hungry?

Pancakes here ain't half bad.

Look, I know that I f***ed up,

but I'll make

this thing right.

Please give me the chance.

WESTON:
F***.

[line ringing]

[phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

What?

Slight hiccup.

I don't have it with me.

Oh, no.

But I got the whole load.

Check this out, man.

I know you wanted me to spread

this out over several runs,

but I got this whole

motherfucking thing in one trip.

Genius.

Where is it?

It's over the border, man.

We got it stashed.

It's all good.

Slight hiccup is that

we flipped the truck,

and the cops came.

I got my boy Pete

coming after it.

Don't worry about it.

It's all good, all right?

You tell Pete to stay home.

- I'm coming.

- You can't smoke that in here.

- I'll get him to put it out.

- Where the f*** are you?

- It's okay.

- Some f***ing shitty hotel.

- Sir!

- It's okay, ma'am. I got it.

Where we at, Weston?

Greenwood Inn, room eight.

We're at the Greenwood Inn,

room eight.

F***.

Put it out, d*ckhead.

D*ckhead.

This is gonna hurt.

[customers yelling]

[laughing]

[clears throat]

Morning.

Hey, Dad.

Morning, Grandpa.

Hey!

Look at you.

- Hey, you make that for me?

- Yeah.

Thank you.

Hey, Pop, how you feeling today?

I'm good. I feel good.

Hey, I'm feeling like

I'm ready to go back to work.

I think you need to take

the day off, Dad, okay?

I was thinking maybe

we'd go up to the cabin.

Cabin? What for?

Well, you can help me

shut it down for the winter.

[chuckles] That's the first time

your old man

ever asked for my help

with anything.

All right, I'll go.

I wanna go. Please?

Hey, I'll take you hunting.

Maybe I can fix

one of those bad habits

you're picking up

from your dad.

You know what? Actually,

I don't have to work today,

so I need your help

around here.

Oh, Mommy, please?

Don't give me that look.

No, ma'am.

Don't look at me.

Dad, I never see you.

Charlotte, listen to me.

I owe you, okay, baby?

I promise I'll take you

next time.

You always say that.

She's yours.

Listen, I got everything

packed up,

so you wanna

grab your stuff?

All right. You mind

if I eat an egg first?

I'll drive.

[laughs]

I got it, Pops, I got it.

All right.

[engine starts]

Get comfy, old man.

HALLETT:
Sh*t.

Ah.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Goddamn! You get off

on this sh*t, huh?

Nice G.I. Joe gear, boy.

Who's your friend?

This is Weston, man.

He's gonna lead the way.

Okay.

Why don't you

ride with Gentry?

You can ride with us, Weston.

Gentlemen!

[imitates gunshot]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, easy, man.

Hey, what's up, man?

How you doing?

[sighs]

Good.

We got power.

We'll get those curtains open,

let some light in.

Somebody left the crib

half empty.

Wanna bring in some timber?

Yep.

There you go.

Can I talk to you

for a second, Dad?

Why don't you get

the coffee going?

Yeah, yeah, just a minute.

Can I ask you something?

You remember what happened

last night at the bar?

I had a disagreement,

wound up with 11 stitches.

Yeah, I remember.

You grabbed a woman by the arm

and tried to pull her out.

They said you thought

she was Mom.

Nah. I don't think so.

Do you remember seeing

Charlotte at the hospital?

Hey, what is this, huh?

What are you doing?

What are these questions?

The doctor thinks you need

a different kind of supervision.

[scoffs]

I need to be supervised?

No, but when you go off

and do stuff that...

What else does the doctor think?

I need to be put somewhere,

maybe put in a home, huh?

No, we're not

doing that, okay?

But we gotta talk about

something else that we can do.

Oh, we do, huh?

Let me tell you something.

When my old man

gave me the mill,

he didn't have to because

he could still get it done,

and so could I.

I didn't put him out to pasture.

I didn't put him

in some goddamn home

with a bunch of drooling,

bedwetting old bastards.

I'm not gonna

put you in a home.

You're goddamn right

you're not!

Pops...

Yeah.

I forget some things now,

all right?

Hey, why don't you try

falling 40 feet

with nothing

but a helicopter dash

to break your fall?

See how you wind up, huh?

Hot shot.

Pops, I don't wanna fight.

I just wanna talk.

Yeah?

Is it working out the way

you thought it would?

Goddamn it.

[door slams]

[sighs]

WESTON:
Sh*t.

Stop right here.

Ah, sh*t.

Uh, I think, uh...

I think Joe

might be up here, man.

Dude, what the f***

are you talking about?

You said the bag

would be safe.

All right.

Any other roads out of here?

No, this is the only one.

There's ATV trails

that go to the back ravines

and Blue Mountain,

but this is the only road.

The cabin's about

a half-mile away.

Cell service?

Not up here.

Except for maybe up

on Blue Mountain.

All right, we're gonna secure

the road 150 yards out.

Clay, Louisi,

take the east side of the road.

Ridley, Essington,

you take the west of the road.

We're gonna flank him.

Gear up.

Yo, G.I. Joe,

let me get one of those.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look, I know this guy.

Let me talk to him.

- What is this, man?

- Talk to him, motherf***er?

We just need to go back in there

and get our sh*t.

Anyone who hasn't royally

f***ed up in the last 24 hours,

raise your hand.

Shut the f*** up

and do as you're told.

Hit it.

[sighs]

What the...

[grunts]

Latch is busted.

- What the hell is that?

- I don't know.

Yeah.

There's tracks out there.

Footprints...

...around here.

[click]

Hi, Daddy.

Charlotte, what are you

doing here?

Does your mother know

where you are?

I left her a note.

Were you in the back

of my truck?

- Yeah.

- Baby, you're a rascal.

Pops, let's go!

Is everyone in position?

Not yet.
