There Will Be Blood Page #5

Where?

Build a pipeline, make a deal with

Union Oil, be my guest...

...but if you can't pull it off...

...you've got an ocean of oil under

your feet with nowhere to go.

Why not turn it over to us.

We'll make you rich.

You'll spend time with your boy.

It's a great discovery,

now let us help you.

You just tell me how to run my family?

It might be more important now

that you've proven the field...

...and we're offering to buy you out.

One night. I'm gonna come to you inside

of your house, wherever you're sleeping...

...and I'm gonna cut your throat.

What?

What are you talking about?

Have you gone crazy, Daniel?

-Did you hear what I said?

-I heard what you said. Why did you say...?

You don't tell me about my son.

Why are you acting insane and threatening to cut my throat?

You don't tell me about my son.

I'm not telling you anything.

I'm asking you to be reasonable,

if I have offended you I apologize.

You'll see what I can do.

This parcel here is a 3000 acre ranch

owned by B.L. Harper.

This is St. Elizabeth and County land,

from here to the coast...

...it's all Union Oil.

What's this?

Why don't I own this?

Why don't I own this?

That's the Bandy tract.

He was the hold-out,

when we're doing the buying.

He had hope to speak with you.

Can't you just build a pipeline around this tract?

Can I build around 50 miles of Tehachapi Mountains?

Don't be thick in front of me, Al.

I can go there again.

No, I'll go and talk to the man.

I'll talk to him show you how it's done.

All right, pack it up, Henry.

How big is his room?

Well, he's sharing with another boy.

-Who? -An older boy, about 12.

He's been there for a year, named Ballard.

How big is his room?

It's a fair size.

Got enough space.

Are you taking Henry with you to meet Union Oil?

-Are you the son of William Bandy? -Grandson.

-Is he here? -No, he's out.

That would be the last case.

Here's to Union Oil.

Hundred miles of pipeline...

...all independent producers of this great station.

That house in Fond du Lac, that John Hollister built, do you remember it?

I thought as a boy that was the most beautiful house I'd ever seen and I wanted it.

I wanted to live in it.

And eat in it, and clean it...

And even as a boy I wanted to have children to run around in it.

You can have anything you like now, Daniel.

And you should.

Where you gonna build it?

Here, maybe near the ocean.

Would you make it look like that house?

I think if I saw that house now,

it'd make me sick.

We can eat, we get some women.

Take them to the Peachtree dance.

I say get liquored up and take them

to the Peachtree dance?

Yeah.

Can I have some money, please.

Can I have some money, please.

I want you to tell me something.

What?

What's the name of the farm next to the Hill house?

What was the name of the farm next to the Hill house?

-I can't remember. -Who are you?

I'll leave, Daniel.

Who are you?

I'm no-one.

Just let me get up and go.

Do I have a brother?

I met a man in King City,

who said he was your brother.

We were friends for months...

...working in King City...

...and he wanted to make his way to you Daniel...

...we didn't have any money.

He died of tuberculosis.

He wasn't harmed, he wasn't killed, nothing bad...

...but he told me about you...

...and I just took his story...

...used his diary...

Daniel, Daniel...

...I'm your friend. I'm not trying to hurt you. Never...

Just survive...

Who is it?

I'm Bandy.

Yes, yes...

William Bandy.

I'd like to lease your land.

I had asked for you to

come and talk to me before...

...when you were leasing land.

That's right.

My boy has been very sick, you know.

This was before your boy got sick.

Now I know that you would like to build a pipeline...

...through my property.

Is that right? What I've heard?

That's absolutely right.

It's eight inch pipe, it can be buried with your consent...

...I guarantee you absolutely no disruption.

God...

God has told me what you must do.

What is that?

You should be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ.

But I am. I have been washed, Mr. Bandy.

I have been...

It's your only way to salvation...

...and your only way for what you want.

You can take it at the Church of the Third Revelation.

I'll pay you three thousand dollars.

I'd like you to be part of our Church.

I'll pay you five thousand dollars.

Be baptized...

Be forgiven...

For this sin that you've done.

What sin are you...

referring to, Mr. Bandy?

My sin of drilling?

I truly wish that everyone could be saved,

don't you?

Yes.

I'm afraid that's just not the case.

The doctrine of universal salvation is a lie.

Is it not?

It's a lie.

I wish everyone could be saved,

but they won't! No they won't!

You will never be saved if you...

Reject the blood!

Good.

Is there a sinner here looking for salvation?

A new member.

I'll ask it again.

-Is there a sinner here looking for God? -Yes.

Allow me.

Thank you for coming, Brother Daniel.

Thank you, Eli.

We have a sinner with us

here who wishes for salvation.

Daniel, are you a sinner?

-Yes. -The Lord can't hear you, Daniel.

Say it to Him. Go ahead and speak to Him.

It's all right.

-Yes. -Down on your knees and to him.

Look up to the sky and say it...

What do you want me to say?

Daniel...

You've come here and you've

brought good and wealth...

...but you have also brought your

bad habits as a backslider.

You've lusted after women and

you have abandoned your child.

Your child that you raised,

you have abandoned all...

...because he was sick and you have sinned.

So say it now:
"I am a sinner".

I am a sinner.

-Say it louder:
I am a sinner.

-I am a sinner!

-Louder, Daniel:
I am a sinner!

-I am a sinner.

-I am sorry, Lord!

-I am sorry, Lord!

-I want the blood!

-I want the blood!

-You have abandoned your child.

-I have abandoned my child.

-I will never backslide. -I will never backslide.

-I was lost but now I am found.

-I was lost but now I'm found.

I have abandoned my child.

Say it, say it...

-I have abandoned my child.

-Say it louder. Say it louder.

I have abandoned my child!

I have abandoned my child!

I have abandoned my boy!

Beg for the blood.

Give me the blood, Eli. Let me get out of here.

Give me the blood, Lord. And let me get away.

Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

Yes I do.

Get out of here, devil!

Out devil! Out sin!

Do you accept the Church of the Third Revelation

as your spiritual guide?

Get out of here! Get out of here!

Get out of here and and back where you belong!

-Do you accept Jesus Christ as your savior?

-Yes I do.

There's the pipeline.

That's enough...

That's enough now.

He must take the Spirit in on his own.

We have a new member.

Mr. Plainview has been generous

enough to make a $5000 donation...

...to the Church which we are still waiting for.

That does me good.

That does me good.

Welcome home son.

Welcome home son.

This is George Reynolds,

teacher from deaf school.
