Hi, Sonya.
Hey, Ree.
You and the kids all right?
We're just a little short on cash right now.
How long's it been since the horse ate?
About four days.
That hay gets kind of expensive, don't it?
Yes ma'am.
Actually, l was wondering if you could keep her with yours.
[gate clattering]
All right, Ginger, come on.
That's a girl.
There you go. There you go.

Come on. Get going.

How are you today?
Ask me inside.
I need to talk some with your mama.
She don't talk much.
[Officer] Ma'am?
I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.
Ma'am?
You better just tell me.
You know your daddy's out on bond, don't you?
So what?
Looks like he's been cooking again.
l know that's the charges you laid on him, but you ain't proved it on him.
You got to prove it every time.
Well, that won't be no hard thing to do,
but that ain't even why l'm here.
His court date's next week, and l can't seem to turn him up.
Maybe he sees you and ducks.
That could be,
but where you all come into this is,
he put this house here,
and your timber acres, up for his bond.
He what, now?
Jessup signed over everything.
Now, if he doesn't show at trial, see,
the way the deal works is, you all gonna lose this place.
You got some place to go?
l'll find him.
- Girl, I've been looking. - I said I'll find him.
You make sure your daddy knows the gravity of this deal.
[Boy] Maybe they'll share some of that with us.
[Ree] That could be.
Maybe we should ask.
Never ask for what ought to be offered.
[log thumps]
Evening, Ree.
- Evening. - [Sonja] Kids. Hey, Connie.
Didn't want you to think we'd forgot you all.
Brought you some meat, some potatoes,
and some stuff for a good stew, anyway.
Thank you. We can use it.
I seen your woodpile's low out front.
We got that splitter up there in the yard.
You should use it.
l'll do that.
We seen the law was out here this afternoon.
Everything all right?
He's huntin' for Dad.
Hunting Jessup, is he?
You know where he's at?
No.
You sure about that?
Yes.
All right.
All right, well l guess you didn't have nothing to tell him then, did you?
I wouldn't tell him nothing if l did.
Honey, we know that.
I'm going to let you get to it, all right?
[sighs]
How about some deer stew. That sound good?
Mm-hm.
Both of you need to get over here and watch how I make it.
[knocks]
Thank God it's you, Sweet Pea,
and not Floyd's mommy and daddy again.
Them two watch me like I done something wrong.
[Floyd] Hush your mouth about them.
They put a roof over your head, ain't they?
Hey, Floyd. You gonna invite me in?
Or I could just stay out here and talk to you.
Yeah, you can come in.
Hey.
[cooing]
Shit.
Don't start.
C'mon.
It's been a while, Sweet Pea.
Things stack up, is all.
What's going on?
The Sheriff came by looking for Dad.
If he don't show up for his court date,
we're gonna lose the house.
I gotta get down to the Arkansas line.
l gotta ask him.
lt's his truck.
[coos]
[cooing]
He said no.
Did you tell him I'd spring for gas?
l told him. He still won't.
Why not?
He never says why not to me, Ree.
He just says no.
Man, that's so sad to hear you say
he won't let you do something and then you don't do it.
lt's different once you're married.
lt really must be because you ain't never used to eat no shit.
Ned needs his nap.
Come here.

Somebody dead?
l'm looking for my Dad.
Come on in. Shake off the chill.
Let's keep it quiet.
Teardrop's still laying up in bed.
The law came by today.
Dad signed over everything to his bond.
Victoria, I really gotta run Dad down to get him to show.
- [cigarette lighter clicks] - [Teardrop] You ought not do that.
Don't go running after Jessup.
Show or don't show, that choice is up to the one going to jail,
not you.
You know where he's at, don't you?
Where a man's at ain't necessarily for you to know, neither.
- But you do. - I ain't seen him.
Could be running around with Little Arthur and them, you think?
Don't you ever go down around Little Arthur's
asking them people about shit they ain't offering to talk about.
That's a real good way to end up bit by hogs...
or wishing you was.
[clip snaps into pistol]
We're all related, ain't we?
[chuckles]
Our relations get watered kind of thin between here and Little Arthur's.
You know all those people, Teardrop.
- You could ask-- - Shut up.
None of them's gonna be in a great big hurry to tangle with you.
l said shut up once already with my mouth.
Jesus. Dad's your only brother.
You think I forgot that?
Hm?
Jessup and me run together for coming on 40 years,
but l don't know where he's at,
and l ain't gonna go around asking after him, neither.
Ree, you still planning to join the Army?
No, l don't think l can anymore.
- Listen. - [grunts]
[gasps]
Hm?
No.
[gasps]
[Victoria] She needs help.
[Teardrop] Nope. Listen.
Listen.
You tell that girl to stay close to home.
Don't move.
Give her this.
You send her ass on her way right now.
Teardrop says you best keep your ass real close to the willows, dear.
- He hopes this helps. - [money crinkles]
Here's a doobie for your walk.
Thank you.
[Woman] Hey.
What's your business here?
My dad's Jessup.
He's pals with Little Arthur, and I gotta find him.
Hold on.
[door closes]
My name's Megan.
And l do know you, really.
I seen you at some of the reunions.
I knew Jessup when I seen him, too.
Never did talk with him much.
You knew him?
Knew him when I seen him around, I mean.
He does stuff l hear about.
- He cooks crank. - They all do now.
You don't even need to say it out loud.
[Megan] If Arthur's been running on crank for a day or two,
you shouId just leave, okay?
l knew it.
l been in your dreams, ain't l, little Ruthie?
lt's Ree, you asshole.
l'm only out to find Dad.
Come on in, ladies.
[makes kissing sounds]
This don't gotta take long, man.
l'm looking for Dad and thought maybe you'd been seeing him.
Maybe you two been getting into stuff together again.
Not since the summer,
at ya'll's place.
You ain't seen him nowhere since then?
Uh-uh.
He kept leaving the house, going some place.
You don't know where?
You got cat shit in your ear, girl?
I've got them two kids and my Mom to tend, man.
l need him.
If I see the dude, I'll tell him you said that.
[Megan] Your dad left you to do all that?
That's fucked up.
Well, he had to.
The way things go, you know.
You want a line?
No.
You wanna blow some smoke?
No.
[slams table] Then l guess l got nothin' for you.
Go on.
Don't tell nobody it was me who told you this, okay?
[distant gunshots]
But you're going to have to go on up the hill
and ask for a talk with Thump Milton.
Now, l hope he'll talk with you.
He generally won't.
That man scares me way more than the rest.
Well, scared ain't a bad way to be about him, neither, hon.
He's my own grandpa,
and l still make damn sure l never piss him off none.
You go see Thump.
[faint gunshot]
Go on.
[dogs barking]
You got the wrong place, I expect.
Who might you be?
l'm Ree.
My Dad's Jessup Dolly.
You ain't here for trouble, are you?
No, ma'am.
'Cause one of my nephews is Buster Leroy,
and didn't he shoot your daddy one time?
Yes, but that ain't got nothing to do with me.
They settled that theirselves, I think.
Shooting him likely settled it.
What is it you want?
I got a real bad need to talk with Thump.
And he ain't got no need to talk to you.
But I need to.
I really, I really, really got to, ma'am, please.
Some of our blood at least is the same.
Ain't that supposed to mean something?
Ain't that what is always said?
Ain't you got no men could do this?
No, ma'am, I don't.
You go wait in the yard somewhere by that coop,
and l'll tell Thump you're here.
Thanks.
Come on, already.
He ain't likely to have time for you, child.
l've got to talk to him.
If he don't know, nobody does.
Nope.
Talking just causes witnesses, and he don't want for any of those.
l'll wait.
You need to get yourself on home.
Here, drink it down and be on your way.
Thanks.
Thump knows you were in the valley, child,

I brought these over for you.
They're painkillers. They're real strong.
These are gonna kick in real quick.
- Start with two. - Okay.
She's gonna want more,
but start with two and build from there,
whatever number lets her rest.
Thank you.
Will you stay until I fall asleep first?
Yeah, I will.
But then make sure they're doing their homework.
All right.
Does your arm hurt?
No.
Not bad.

Blond Milton said him and Sonya would take Sonny in.
I tell you that?
Raise him on up from here for me.
Does he know? Sonny?
Not from us.
lf he knows, it's from somebody else blabbing, 'cause l never.
He doesn't even know Dad cooks.
If they took him, that might help some.
What about Ashlee?
She don't shine for them.
Well, what else can you do?
Beg Victoria and Teardrop to take Ashlee in.
God, I hope that ain't the way it goes, Sweet Pea.
l hope to hell it ain't.
[class bell rings]
It was nice meeting you.
- Have a good day, okay? - Thanks.
Hi, how you doing? Sergeant Schalk.
- Ree Dolly. - Nice to meet you.
So what brought you down here today, Ree?
Um, I wanted to find out more about the $40,000 I get for signing up.
Well, that's a good reason for joining,
but why don't you give me three better reasons for joining?
Because once you join up, there's no turning back,
and it might not be worth $40,000 dollars to you.
Well, the main reason is I need the money.
It'd be nice to travel, I suppose.
You know, five years is a long commitment.
Well, how long before l get the money?
Well, after you sign up, it would be anywhere
between 1 4 weeks to 82 weeks.
Well, how come it doesn't say that on the poster?
Probably a clerical error, or it just wasn't on there.
It might have been in fine print at the bottom.
Do you mind me asking, what happened to your--
your eye and your lip?
l fell off my bike.
Fell off a bike?
Well, um, how old are you?
- 1 7. - You're 1 7.
Okay. Now, if this is something you really wanted to do,
we'd have to bring Mom and Dad in on this, okay?
I can sign for myself.
Not at 1 7, you can't.
At 1 7 you're still considered a minor by the U.S. Government.
You have to be 1 8 to sign up.
Would it be a problem getting Mom and Dad in here?
l mean, l can come out to you guys' house--
My mom is sick.
My dad's. . . gone.
Well, do you have any brothers or sisters that might be able to help?
I got a little brother and a little sister, 1 2 and 6.
Well, who's taking care of them right now?
- I am. - You are?
Is that why you need the $40,000?
Yes, sir.
Well, it sounds like it might be a bigger challenge
just to stay home, you know,
and actually take care of your brother and sister
because you know you're not going to be able to take them
with you to training, right?
I thought maybe I could.
Not right at the beginning.
Plus you wouldn't be able to have them
when you're actually in the active duty Army
because who's going to be there to take care of them
if you have to go off and actually fight?
So it sounds like right now
you need to buckle up and stay home.
It's going to take a lot of backbone and a lot of courage to stay home,
but that, l think, is what you need to do right at this point.
Okay?
Now, something might change here in the next year or so.
You might decide this is what you want to do, you know?
But don't take it lightly, and don't do it just for the money.
You need to have a good reason to do this, okay?
- Okay. - All right, well, it was nice meeting you.
Nice meeting you.
Have a good day, okay?
Thank you.
What's going on?
I'm tired of waiting around for shit to come down.

You went and got his ass killed.
You happy now?
l know you.
l know your family.
Get out of the car now.
Is this gonna be our time?
[starts ignition]
[Ree] What I really can't stand
is why I feel so ashamed for Dad.
Well, he loved you all.
That's where he went weak.
Lots of us can be tough,
plenty tough enough,
and do it for a long stretch, too.
But snitching.
For lots and lots 'a years he wasn't.
He wasn't, he wasn't, and one day he was.
You always have scared me.
That's 'cause you're smart.
[Ree] Will you look through this stuff?
See what you want to keep?
That's Dad.
And Teardrop.
Ashlee, you remember when Dad made that for you?
Mm-hm.
Look at this guy with her.
[Sonny] That's him?
Mm-hm.
How old was he in that picture?
Probably around my age.
"I don't know how l ever latched on to someone like you,
"but I sure hope I can keep you interested in me forever.
l love you and will always be true."
Ha! Found ya.
Found ya!
[knocks]
We're goin' to fix your problem for you.
Right now I'm feeling like blowing me a clean hole
through your fucking guts.
I know you do,
but you won't.
You'll put that scatter gun away and come along with us.
You must think I'm crazy.
We'll take you to your daddy's bones.
We know the place.
We need to put a stop to all this nonsense talk
about us we've been having to hear.
I ain't said a thing about you.
I know, but everybody else has.
l'm bringing this.
No, you won't bring that, either.
You want his bones, you'll set that down and come along.
You go on and take that sack off now.
Give it to me.
Child, you might know where you are.
If you do, you forget you know it.
You get me?
[cows mooing]
[metal clatters]
[Merab] He should be right there.
You're gonna need to reach down and tug him up.
He ain't deep.
Straight down.
Can you feel of him?
[panting]
[groans]
[whimpering]
All right, now.
- Here, take this. - What?
- How else you gonna get his hands? - No.
- Oh, come on, child. - No.
Your daddy would want you to do this.
Now, here, take the saw.
[Alice] She can't do it, Merab.
Hold his arm out straight, child.
[yanking pull starter]
Shit.
[weeping]
Why'd you let go?
You're gonna need both hands,
or sure as shit they'll say he cut one off to keep from going to prison.
They know that trick. Now reach back down in there, now, quick.
[water splashes]
[starts chainsaw]
[gasps]
There you go.
Let's go, Alice.
[Man on police radio] Christian County 1 36,
that thing comes back to a P.O. Box address out of Cassville.
The owner appears to be a relative of the female
who is taking care of the kids.
[Woman on radio] Christian County to 1 60.
[Man] Got it.
Come on back.
Oh.
How in the hell did you come by these?
Someone flung them up on the porch last night.
Reckon l'll run these straight over.
The lab can tell me if they're his.
They're his.
Those are my dad's hands.
We'll know yes or no on that soon enough.
l bet your dad would still be here if he was just growing his marijuana.
Hey.
I didn't shoot the other night 'cause you were there in the truck.
He never backed me down.
It looked to me like he did.
Don't you let me hear that's the story getting around.
I don't talk about you, man, ever.
You're a good boy.
Good boy.
Thank you.
Clip. Thank you.
[car door shuts]
Sonny.
Hey, Ashlee.
I brung these for you two to raise up.
[together] Thank you.
What's he doing here?
I have no idea.
l know you.
[Satterfield] Yep.
Looks like you earned this money with blood, kid.
- That's yours. - How's it mine?
Well, that feller never did give a name,
but he sure was good news for you all when he put that down on Jessup.
Ain't it still his, though?
You can use it a hell of a lot more than him.
He ain't gonna come back for it, neither,
not the way things happened.
We took our cut, and that there's what's left.
That makes it yours.
I don't know how you did that.
Bred and buttered. I told you.
Well, you take care, okay?
Here.
Yeah.
Well, it's been a long time.
Back off a little. You're making me nervous.
Oh, shit.
♪♪
Hm.
I was never good like your daddy was.
l know who.
What?
Jessup.
l know who.
You should have this.
Oh, no, you--
Why don't you keep it here for me?
[starts truck, drives off]
Does that money mean you're leaving?
l ain't leaving you guys. Why do you think that?
We heard you talking about the Army.
Are you wanting to leave us?
I'd be lost without the weight of you two on my back.
l ain't going anywhere.
