GIRL IN THE WOODS

I'm comin', baby.

I'm comin'.

Baby.

It's all right.

Everything is fine.

Jim just went for a walk.

He's coming right back.

Everything's fine.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, hey, we're here.

You okay?

Yeah.

All right. Hey.

Well?

Yeah?

Yes!

Yes? Yes.

Gracie.

Daddy?

Hey, hey, it's okay.

Hey, it was just a dream.

It was just a dream.

Hey, hey, slow breath.

Breathe.

Slow down.

So you're good now.

I'm right here.

I'm sorry.

-It's okay.

-Breathe.

It was just a bad dream.

I just feel like

such a freak sometimes.

Stop it. Don't.

Look, everybody has bad dreams.

Was it your dad?

It's okay. I'm right here.

I just... I don't think

anyone could get over

seeing something like that.

How could you?

Kids aren't built to see

their parents kill themselves.

It's just I don't think

about it for months,

and then it just

creeps up on me.

I'm sorry. I feel

really stupid right now.

Stop. Don't.

You just need to relax, okay?

Okay.

Are you sure you want

to marry me, still?

I'm very sure.

Hey, don't forget a light jacket

or something, okay?

-Why?

-Bugs. I wouldn't want you

gettin' eaten alive.

Bugs. Great. Gotcha.

Hey, honey?

Think we'll be back by dinner?

Yeah.

Why?

No reason.

Just checking.

You ready?

It's gonna be great.

Right.

When are you gonna

tell me what it is?

It's gonna be a day

you'll never forget.

So, you found a spa with a full

body massage and a hot tub?

Thank you.

Better!

What could be better than that?

Come on.

That's for the honeymoon.

You can Facebook your friends

when you get back.

You're mine

right now, all right?

I think that's fair.

Okay, but I should at least

be able to call my friends.

Does the cabin have a phone?

We're gonna be back

in two days.

You can tell them then.

Okay.

-Okay?

-Okay.

Where are we going?

There should be

a waterfall up here, I think.

Really?

Yeah,

if I read the map right...

Jim, if we're gonna go look

at a waterfall,

then why do you need a gun?

-To be safe.

-Safe from what?

-Bears.

-Bears?

Jim, you're not serious.

Don't worry.

Don't worry

about the bears.

That sounds easy.

What about snakes.

Are there snakes, too?

Don't worry!

I hate snakes.

See?

Just like the brochure.

Hey, you remember

when we first met?

Yeah, why?

I was just thinking that

we were a mess?

Now look at us.

I guess this must mean we...

We must be pretty good

for each other?

You know,

you've changed my life

in a lot of ways.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah.

You want to get back

to the cabin?

I'm... I'm fine.

Look, you don't have to

pretend with me, okay?

I love you.

Thank you.

You know what? I'm...

I'm gonna actually...

I'm gonna go back and find

an easier way

for us to get back, all right?

Okay.

Just sit right there.

I'll come back and get you

whenever I find it, all right?

Okay.

You know, I...

I used to think

I'd have a bunch of land

like this someday.

A little house

with a bunch of land.

Horses?

Horses?

What would I want with horses?

'Cause I love horses.

Well, then,

the lady shall have horses!

-She wants horses?

-We'll get her horses!

I'm gonna have to

get a better

Jim!

Jim. Jim.

My god.

Jim?

I'm gonna get help.

Okay? I'm gonna get help.

Somebody help me!

Something's gotta look familiar.

Some...

Hello!

My god.

My god.

My god.

Please work.

Hey, you're gonna have to wait.

I doubt you're gonna get

a signal out here. I told ya:

Out here, it's just you, me,

and the woods!

My god. You gotta be

f***ing kidding me.

Sh*t.

Daddy?

Daddy?

I'm comin'. I'm comin'.

Daddy?

It's all right.

Daddy's here.

Daddy?

Momma?

Sorry, honey.

Daddy was a weak man.

It's okay, honey.

Momma's here.

It's just the heat.

It's just the heat.

That's all. That's all.

What the...?

You've changed my life

in a lot of ways.

Daddy?

No, daddy.

Momma?

Hi!

I was just rocking you to sleep.

I've missed you.

Momma, Jim killed himself.

I know.

But he wasn't very good for us.

I love him.

Well, we know what that does

to people, don't we?

Look at daddy.

-Daddy didn't...

-no, baby.

He loved us.

Baby, daddy tried.

Tried, tried.

Sorry I couldn't do any better.

Bye.

Hello!

Who's there?!

Who's there?!

Daddy?

Daddy.

Daddy!

What is it, baby?

There's something

in the closet.

I saw it.

In the closet.

-Gracie.

-No!

There's nothing

in the closet, baby.

There's... look, look, baby.

There's nothing there.

There was something in there!

Baby, I-i know that you think

there's something...

no, there was something

in the closet.

I saw it!

I know, baby.

-No!

-No, I know.

I-it's in your imagination.

No, there was something

in the closet!

There's nothing there. Look!

There's nothing there, baby.

I saw it.

-It's not there.

-I want mommy.

No, baby, I don't want

to talk about mo...

-I want mommy!

-I don't want to talk abou...

she believes me!

You never believe me!

-Give me a hug, baby.

-No. I want mommy.

Okay.

You want mommy?

What is it, honey?

What happened?

There was something

in the closet

and daddy didn't believe me.

He never believes me.

Well, sometimes daddies

don't always understand.

Do you believe me?

Well, of course I do.

That's what mommies are for,

to believe little girls, right?

Does daddy love you?

He did.

A long time ago.

What happened?

Honey, that's not

for little girls to worry about.

You need to get some rest.

C'mere.

Let me hold you.

Good girl.

Will you sing to me, momma?

Sure, baby.

Damn it, Jim.

You remember to pack water,

but no protein bars?

Sh*t!

Guess I missed lunch today,

didn't I?

It's too bad, because I was

gonna have a big, fat burger.

I know.

F*** my figure, right?

Why couldn't you be

like a normal guy

and just propose to me at like

a football game or a restaurant?

I mean, the woods, Jim?

Really?

I saw you. I saw you!

I saw you!

I saw you!

Come back!

Granddaddy?

Where have you been?

I thought you died.

I know.

What are you doing here?

Came to get you.

Get me? Take me where?

I want to take you back

with me.

It's okay.

You can come.

I don't think I should.

Granddaddy.

I know what you're thinking.

It's a good plan.

It'll work.

We made it here from the cabin

in one morning.

That means I'm one morning away.

All I have to do

is mark where I go.

Just leave markers, you know?

And if I haven't reached

the cabin by afternoon,

I'll follow my trail back.

And if I keep doing that,

I'll find it.

Damn it!

Hungry?

I don't f***ing need you!

I'll find something to eat!

Sure, baby.

Just keep lookin'.

I have full confidence in you.

I mean, after all,

you've done so well, so far.

Go away!

I'll find something!

Get it off! Get it off!

You don't have to eat that.

You have the gun.

What is it, baby?

I heard something.

I'm sure it's just the house.

Come on.

Let's get some dinner, okay?

Okay.

Hey, hey, baby, what...

What are you listening to?

Just a tape

mommy made for me.

Mommy?

Gracie.

Look at me, Gracie.
