It's fake.

What?

Yeah, it's straw.

It's fake.

Oh, my god.

Freakin' scarecrow.

Scared you pretty good,

old crow.

Bite me.

Some kids probably

put it up as a prank.

Can we get out of here?

Amanda:
Hey.

You came.

Who else comes here?

No one.

Never?

No.

What are you doing?

I don't want to get

my clothes wet.

So you're just gonna

take 'em off?

You never seen a girl

out of her clothes before?

Heh.

Are you religious?

'Cause I don't have to.

I don't want jesus mad at me.

Jesus don't stay mad too long.

( Laughs )

You can look now.

Aren't you gonna come in?

I don't know.

You don't have to

if it's a sin.

Sinning don't bother me.

Well, what are you

waiting for, then?

Cover your eyes.

( Laughs )

Can I look now?

Yeah.

How's it feel?

Good.

You swim like this with

other boys before?

Just my brother,

when we were kids.

You have a brother?

I had one.

( Laughs )

Aah!

Are you shy?

You shouldn't be.

Why not?

I don't bite.

I don't know if I believe you.

( Chuckles )

You want to come over.

And watch a movie

sometime or something?

We don't bite, either.

My pa does a little bit,

maybe, but...

What does he do?

Nothin'.

Did he hit you?

No, no.

No, not really.

He didn't start out that way.

How do you know that?

Nobody starts out bad.

You mind turning off the

sh*t-Mobile for a minute?

( Turns engine off )

How's things goin'?

Fine.

You have any idea

when that tobacco crop.

Might be ready to sell?

It'll be a while yet.

We need to turn that into cash.

As soon as we can.

Can't rush nature.

Where's Eli? Shouldn't

he be helpin' out?

Eli:
You think Ill

end up good or bad?

Amanda:
I don't know.

It depends.

On what?

Bad things happen.

If you're weak,

it'll break you.

I'm not weak.

I'm not.

I don't get you.

You got me if you want me.

Waylon:

Come here, Eli.

You been out in the woods much?

Yeah.

Seen any trespassers?

No.

Well, you see any,

you let me know.

Okay.

What you doin' in there?

Nothin'.

Well, as long as you

ain't settin' fires.

And cuttin' up trees.

I got more respect

than that. Come on, now.

Good.

You know, there's

a lot of history.

The civil war was fought here.

Pioneers died here.

Underground railroad

even came through here.

Really?

Yeah.

Come here. Let me

show you something.

See these shoes?

Yeah.

These belonged

to a runaway slave.

By the name of barnaby.

My great-Great-

Grandfather john.

Tried to help him... Let

him sleep in a barn.

But then his father... My

great-Great-Great- Grandfather horace...

Got a hold of old barnaby.

And took him out deep,

deep into the woods.

And hung him from a tree.

Told john what he did,

But wouldn't tell him where.

Gave him the poor boy's

shoes to prove it.

Of course, now they're

both a part of the farm.

And so is he.

Of course... Heh heh...

John never did find the body.

Where did you get all the guns?

Oh, mostly collected by father.

And my grandfather

over the years.

They're worth something.

So don't you be taking

them hunting or nothin'.

You ever gonna sell

any of this stuff?

Those Im taking

with me to my grave.

Waylon, did you ever know

of anybody named Amanda?

Why do you ask?

Oh, Im just wondering.

Did you see her?

Yeah.

Where? Where did you

see her?

I don't know... Did she

say anything to you?

What'd she say?

Nothin' much.

Who is she?

Boy...

you stay away from her.

She's dangerous.

All right.

And if you see her

again, you tell me.

Okay?

Yeah.

Good.

( Country music playing )

Where'd you go?

Nowhere.

Who were you with?

No one.

So you were nowhere

with no one...

I guess doing nothin', huh?

Yeah.

Know what I was doin'?

I was workin' my ass off while

you were doing nothin'.

You were supposed

to spray the tobacco.

I can't trust you with nothin'.

Were you with that

city girl... Katie?

Are you drunk?

You won't be so smart when

you're burnin' in hell.

At least Ill have you

for some company.

( Crash )

Ida:
Eli!

What are you doing out here?

He's drinking.

Yeah, I know.

What's that?

What was it?

A lamp.

Bastard can rot in the dark.

I'm sorry.

( Dog barking )

Hey, Buddy.

Hey, Bud.

You ain't so scary, huh?

Come on, let's go

for a walk, huh? Come on.

Come on, Buddy.

Must be a lot of rabbits

in there, huh, boy?

Why didn't you listen to me?

Ida:
You don't have

It's okay, ma.

I feel like workin'.

Bud?

If he wants to work,

( Lyrics

continue indistinctly )

Amanda?

I don't care what you are.

Amanda, come out

and talk to me.

I'm sorry!

I shouldn't have hopped

over that fence!

Please just talk to me.

Tell me what happened to you.

Mornin'.

Mornin'.

Pa, did Waylon ever have

any siblings growing up?

No.

What are you lying for?

Waylon had a sister.

What was her name?

Amanda.

She and your papa

were sweethearts.

Before we got together.

That's enough.

They were set to

run off together,

But she ran off on her own.

I said that's enough.

I don't think she ran off, pa.

I found her body.

Get your damn hand off me.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I snuck out here.

I'm grounded.

What did you do?

I called mark a dickwad.

Well, he is a dickwad. How could

you get in trouble for that?

Right?

God, I hate them so much.

At least mark

isn't your real dad.

( Scoffs )

Let's run away.

Where do you want to go?

Dallas.

Dallas? Why?

Mark hates the cowboys.

I don't know.

I just want to leave

this goddamn place,

Go back to the city.

Where do you want to go?

Do you have any money?

You're serious?

Dead serious.

Come on.

Let's just drive.

We can go to, like, louisville,

Live in the car until

we find an apartment.

I have $257...

I can't.

Why not? Don't you

hate it here?

I can't, Katie.

What the hell

am I supposed to do?

If you have to run...

run.

You lookin' for someone?

Are you following me?

These are my woods, boy.

I go where I want.

I thought I told you

to stay away from her.

She was your sister.

I know who she was.

Well, Ill just stay

away from her, then.

( Sighs )

She's a murderer.

Ida:
Bud?

It's me, ma.

Evening, Bud.

I always thought

she run out on me.

But she didn't.

Why don't you put

that pitchfork down?

What kind of demon are you,

To do that to a

harmless little girl?

I don't know what

you're talkin' about.

You know damn well

what Im talkin' about!

She was gonna leave me.

So you hung her by the neck?

Your own sister?

Did you rape her?

Did you?!

God!

( Grunting )

I loved her.

I had to protect her.

Protect her?

I kept her safe.

( Both grunting )

( Thuds )

( Grunting )

Aaaah!

( Whispers )

( Bell tolling )

Ida:
That girl's been

haunting me my whole life.

Now she finally

took him from me.

He always wanted her over me.

Now he died over her.

What do I got left?
