Hello, birdie.

[Jack]

let's move.

-Here, two bags.

-Okay.

We'll cut through

some of these neighborhoods

up ahead.

Okay?

Got a little hike

ahead of us.

Still in the middle

of f***ing nowhere.

[Rustling]

[Man whistles]

[Birdie]

mom, can you

tell me a story?

[Nell]

oh, sweetie.

I don't have

any good stories

in me now.

[Birdie]

please.

The Princess

and the dark knight one.

[Nell]

once upon a time,

there was a Princess

who was being pursued

by a dark knight.

And he wore

big black armor

because he had been

in so many battles

and wars,

on his planet.

[Birdie]

was the dark knight

a man?

[Russell]

half man, half machine.

[Nell] yeah.

Yeah, he's half man,

half machine.

So he had this big,

thick black armor.

And a deep voice.

And he breathed

like a...

Eh, kinda like

Russell's breathing

right now.

[Russell pants]

I remember this.

We just turn

into the woods.

It's a short hike

for you guys.

It's somewhere here.

The marker.

Come on.

Just a little further.

[Birdie]

daddy, I'm tired.

[Jack]

come on, birdie.

We gotta keep going.

[Birdie]

no.

Come on, birdie.

[Nell]

hey. does any of this look

familiar to you?

[Russell]

I've never been

this far.

Whoa.

Let's make camp

for the night.

[Nell]

we should rest.

[Jack]

come on, right here.

I think

we should stop.

-[Grunting]

-[jack] We'll make

camp here tonight.

[Russell]

come on. We're close.

It's just over

the next pass.

[Nell whispering]

[Jack]

we are lost.

[Russell]

it's the last...

[Jack]

we are lost.

It's the last hill.

Come on.

Here, come on.

There you go.

There you go.

Okay.

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

-[Nell] calm down. Calm down.

-[Jack] God damn it.

We left Kyle

in the goddamn barn.

All right.

[Groans]

[Birdie coughs]

Oh, come on.

-[Birdie coughs]

-[Nell] Stop here.

Okay.

Come here.

[Russell]

this isn't it.

This isn't it.

-We're done.

-[Nell] Here sweetie.

All right.

[Nell]

all right, come on.

[Nell]

all right.

All right.

Come on, sweetie.

[Wolf howls]

Sorry.

Don't say that.

We're gonna take it

day by day, okay?

[Twigs crack]

[Man]

check that out.

Get down.

[Whispering]

[Men yelling]

[Twigs cracking]

[Twigs crunch]

[Birds chirping]

[Russell]

pass me the water bottle.

We need water, right?

Give me the bottles.

I'll backtrack

and I'll catch up

with you guys.

I'll get it.

I don't want you

tripping over yourself.

[Twigs crunch]

[Twigs crunching]

[Clicks]

[Gunshots]

Nell. Nell!

Oh, f***.

-[Russell wheezes]

-Which way did they go?

Where did they go?

[Groans]

Which way did they go?

[Groans]

Nell!

There's a cold front

coming through today.

We'll make sure

we're parked

as close to the road

by sundown.

No, we should make it.

I don't know

about with this baggage.

Don't be scared.

No reason

to be scared.

I'm not

gonna hurt you.

Not like

that cripple, see.

He came at me,

okay?

What I did

was self-defense.

I believe

in looking after myself.

I wanna

look after you, too.

And I wanna

keep you safe.

I wanna

give you love.

I wanna

keep you warm.

Get your f***ing

hand off her.

[Spits]

[Laughs]

I've got

something clean

to put in that dirty

mouth of yours.

[Squeals]

Step back.

Step back!

-Brother--

-drop it!

-Put it down.

-Brother, brother...

-Put it down.

-It's all right, brother.

Brother, it's okay.

Okay? calm down.

There's no reason

we can't share here.

There's two of them.

This one, she's...

She's big and she's strong.

You can do

what you want

with her.

But this one,

she's weak.

She's weak.

You don't want her.

Put the gun down.

Put it down, brother.

You can be saved,

if you put

the gun down.

Nell, you okay?

[Panting]

Brother, you want

to save yourself,

you can share

the feeling.

-[Birdie] daddy!

-[Crossbow shot]

[Groans]

[Muffled screams]

[Nell sobs]

Now it looks like

you've walked yourself

into a world

of trouble, brother.

But don't you worry.

I wouldn't let you

leave this world alone.

Which one of these females

you wanna take with you?

Huh?

The little one?

-You want

the strong one?

-Don't...

-Please.

-or do you want

the weak one?

[Nell sobs]

You want me

to make your mind up

for you?

-No.

-which one?

Cat got your tongue,

mister?

Huh?

Maybe I'll make

your mind up for you?

-[Gun clicks]

-No.

-[Faint gunshot]

-Told you

to repent, brother.

-[Gunshots]

-[screams]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Were you

with my brother?

Were you

with my brother, Russell?

[Country music plays]

Somebody take

the keys away from me

no, I don't care

who you are

don't let me

get back to my car

how the hell

did I get to abilene?

Two tanks

of gasoline

driving two cars

a scene

don't blame me

my heartbreak

heals real slow

somebody pick me up

some listerine

but only give

me one sip

let it roll

off of my lip

somebody keep

a wary eye on me

don't let me get

to that door

though I may reel,

i may roar

don't blame me

my heartbreak

heals real slow

unless you wanna

take a ride...
