a complicated feeling.

L guess right now nothing

in the whole world seems safe.

Your stepdaddy's gone.

Your mom's sick.

And you're in the forest

with a stranger.

Ah!

What happened to your hand?

Well, l got into a fight

with a great lndian chief.

He cut my finger off.

Did you kill him?

Yes, l did.

Are you going to kill me?

No.

You're a child.

Children should be protected.

Angels protect me.

Maybe that's how

you should think of me.

L'm like an angel

come down from the storm

to remove that man

from your life.

Which one is left

Which one's in heaven

Love

lt's easy come,

it's easy go...

Once you're up

at this cottage of yours

all by your lonesome,

what then?

L don't know.

L just need to think

for a while, you know?

L couldn't stand that.

L hate being alone.

Lt scares me, always has.

Lf you still want it,

l'll give you a lift

to the border.

L wish you hadn't

stopped for me.

L wish somebody else

had come along.

L wish l was somebody else.

Love

lt's easy come,

it's easy go

Love...

Just pretend, okay?

L'm not pretending.

F*** me, Addison.

'Cause never mind

'Cause after all

Love, love, love...

So, what do you want

to be when you grow up?

A nurse.

Grandma Vicky is a nurse.

L always wanted to be a farmer.

We had a fruit farm.

Peaches mostly.

But my daddy was a drunk

and he ran it into the ground.

When l was a kid,

l always wanted to fix it up

and farm it just right.

Can l change the baby?

Yeah.

Hey, it's me.

L'm at this place.

L'm stuck here for the night.

There's this guy.

He's the perfect ride.

His family lives

near the border.

L'm going to get him

to take me there.

The address is 207

Old Mills Farm Road, Bear Lake.

Can you make it there?

You'll make a great nurse.

L have a baby sister.

When we were kids, l used to

take care of her, just like you are.

Where is she now?

She's out there somewhere.

L think you should leave

your sister alone.

Lt's about Amy, my daughter.

- You know her.

- Sure.

She was a couple of years

ahead of me at school, but sure.

Please.

Then you know

she's always been afraid

to be without a man in her life.

Lt's probably because

of her dad and l.

We never...

Please, Mrs. Woodward,

tell me what happened.

She didn't come home

last night.

She was supposed

to come to my house...

she and the kids

and her husband Bobby.

He's a horrible man,

a violent man.

Do you know him?

We've had calls to their house

on a few occasions.

Well, she was going to ask him

for a divorce yesterday.

- Did you try calling?

- No.

They were at Bobby's

hunting cabin.

There's no phone there.

There's no nothing,

and it's out in the woods.

Could you please check on her?

Make sure... just tell me

everything's all right.

Make me feel like

a silly old mother.

Sure.

L'll be home around noon,

unless l'm tracking one.

- Hey.

- Yeah?

You've been pretty quiet

this morning.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

You know, parenting isn't easy,

Chet, not for anyone.

You make it look that way.

Well, just because l'm better

at hiding the hard parts.

And you're always graceful.

Ln case you get hungry.

L thought you said

your spurs were hung.

Lt's better to have and not need.

Okay, then.

Stay warm.

Don't tell me what to do.

Lt's getting light out.

Where are you?

Are you still alive?

L think l'd feel it if you died.

L mean, at least

l think l would.

L feel like l just have to...

l have to keep moving.

Addison?

Everything is just...

everything's getting so confusing.

That guy l told you about,

he turned out to be a real jerk.

He just disappeared

on me, so...

l'll find another way,

and l'll call you.

Or you call me.

Where are you?

Okay. Bye.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, buddy.

What's your problem?

L'll put you in a f***ing coma!

Drive the f*** away!

- What are you doing?

- What does it look like?

- Last night was fun and all, but...

- But what?

- But it was just a game!

- That is bullshit and you know it.

Do l? You don't even

know my name.

So tell me.

What does it matter?

L could've been anybody.

Lt matters to me.

Why are you doing this?

Hey, Bill, you order breakfast?

Come on, Travis.

What are you doing here, Hanna?

Becker will have your head.

Vicky Woodward is worried

about her daughter.

Their cabin's a couple

of miles from here.

Where's Becker?

Headed north about an hour ago

to meet with the state police.

You want us to come with you?

Not necessary.

No, it probably is.

When l was 10, l watched

my father bleed to death

in the weeds beside our house.

He pulled himself across

the yard with his arms,

screamed at me,

and then he died.

Someone shot him.

Want to know what l did next?

Washed him off

with the garden hose,

combed his hair,

sat beside him and waited

for someone to find me.

Who found you?

My brother.

He turned off the hose

and took me for a walk.

What happened then?

A lot of strangers

at our house, a lot of cops.

People trying to figure out

where to put me.

My father was a monster.

An animal.

And he died like one.

L'm supposed to be a grownup.

Lf l was someone else,

l could have a husband of my own,

be having my own babies.

Lnstead l'm all messed up.

Liza.

My name is Liza.

L'm Jay.

Light shines off rivers

Flowing through

Every part of me wanting

every part of you

Soft and simple veins

make a stain

And find a drain

lf l was the one

Maybe l could feel

your pain

And the water boils

while the night is on fire

l patiently wait

like a bird on a wire.

What's the matter, Hanna?

Why are we stopping?

Guys, it looks like

this was left here.

- Strange, huh?

- So what?

- Becker, do you copy?

- Hey, hey, what are you doing?

L'm calling it in to Becker

for backup.

Calling in what?

Lt's a snowmobile

and a hunting cabin.

While the two of you

have your little spat,

l'm just going to go

and do my job.

- We have to check it out.

- Okay, fine.

So we check it out, but don't go

calling Becker now for nothing.

Me and Brice are the ones

who are gonna end up in deep sh*t.

Becker told us to call.

L'm calling.

Becker, do you copy?

What the hell?

- You can't do that!

- Can't do what?

Such an a**hole.

Hello! Bobby?

Hello?

Lt's the sheriff's office.

Hello!

You're going to get us

in trouble, Hanna.

L know it's early.

We'd just like

to have a quick word.

Oh, my God.

Hello?

Brice!

Get away!

Lt's him!

Brice?

You're no angel at all.

No, l am not.

Brice, you all right?

Christ!

Hanna, get down!

Come on!

Oh, f***!

You all right?

You're not even supposed

to be here, Hanna!

God damn it, Travis!

Travis!

You know this is

my first snowman?

You're shitting me.

Ha, not a lot of snow

in Alabama.

One night when l was a kid,

the Northern Lights were out

and my dad and l made

these snowmen out in the pasture

like a boxing match...

two snow fighters

throwing punches.

L remember l didn't want

to go to bed that night.

My dad carried me

all the way back to the house.
