Hey!
What're you doing?
Hey!
Stop!
Hey!
[grunts]
Hey!
You can't just go around
taking people's things, you little...
You little girl.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
But you need to learn how to leave strangers alone.
You understand?
I'm not some charity.
You need to go back to wherever it is that you came from.
Leave me alone.
Good talk.
[sighs]
Now, go on!
Get!
[brooding piano music]
[sighs]
[food crunches]
What?
What? What is it? What do you want?
I told you. I'm not gonna hurt you.
But saying somethin'. Tell me your name.
Tell me why you're out here all by yourself.
Somebody's gotta be looking for you.
Where's your mommy? Where's your daddy?
Nobody?
You're just here.
[sighs]
What're you up to?
[sighs]
[grunts]
Well, I can't just leave you here.
[sighs]
Come with me.
Come on.
[chuckles]
This is what I always wanted!
[Jack sighs]
So what in the holy hell
are you doing out here all alone, huh?
Huh?
Come on, kid. Cut the silence.
Say something, will you? What's your name?
Hi, I'm Jack.
[chuckles]
I bet you're pretty, pretty thirsty, huh?
Yeah.
Well, I will let you have some of the water from my canteen
if you ask for it nicely.
Please.
[water swashes]
That's "please", right?
Yeah?
Okay.
I took a little sign language.
Back in school, but that was a little while ago.
[sighs]
Let's see if we can figure this out, huh?
I was always better at understanding
[sighs]
So, tell me, why don't you talk, huh?
What's your name?
No name.
You don't have a name?
Everybody's got a name.
[sighs]
Hey.
I got an idea.
Why don't you come with me?
Yeah.
You can bring the water.
I think I know something that'll cheer you up.
Hey, come on.
[birds tweet]
[wind blows on the mountain]
[distant birds sing]
Here, look.
Watch that.
[girl shivers]
[sighs]
Can't have you dying on me.
All right, enough of this. Come on.
Let's go.
You can wear that back to camp.
And then I expect it back. You understand me?
Let's go.
[wind blows]
[fire crackles] [crickets chirp]
So, here's the deal.
You can spend the night here but first thing in the morning,
you're gonna go back to wherever it is you came from.
You hear me?
Thank you for the food.
There's some blankets over there.
That tent over there is mine. Do not come in there.
Goodnight.
[crickets chirp] [fire crackles]
[dark tones]
[Trish whines]

I'll take that back now.
Let's go. We got work to do.
[Aria hums melodically]
[leaves rustle]
[gun cocks]
Why would you do that?
You were going to kill it!
Yeah, I was gonna kill it. That was our dinner.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Yeah, well, we'll both be sorry with empty stomachs.
Don't ever touch my gun again.
[sighs]
[water swashes]
[brooding piano music]
She's beautiful, isn't she?
Yeah.
You should see her in the winter.
When she freezes over.
And that ice, it's as thick as your head.
[chuckles] Even thicker.
Good fishin', too.
[water splashes rapidly]
[chuckles]
You like that?
Yeah, why don't you try?
Here.
[water splashes]
[chuckles]
Okay. We'll figure this out.
Here, another cool one.
And what you wanna do, you wanna lean way over,
almost like you're fallin' over.
And then you gotta, you gotta, snap, snap your wrist.
[water splashes rapidly]
[chuckles] Yeah.
Yeah.
Aria.
You know what that is?
[chuckles]
It's a song that stands alone.
But it holds its own.
It's untouchable.
You remind me of an Aria.
Do you mind if I call you that?
I mean, I've gotta call you somethin'.
It's beautiful.
It suits you.
[tree creaks]
[tree crashes] [Aria gasps]
Wait.
Aria, wait!
[dark music]
You can't run from me, maggot!
[Aria sobs] I'll find you!
[Aria sobs]
I gave you both everything.
I even bought the little maggot braces
to fix her disgusting teeth.
Do you know how much that cost me?
Do you have any idea how much that cost me?
I don't understand.
Oh, stop your deaf wavin'. Get out of my way.
I'm gonna teach you what it's like to disrespect me.
[Aria sobs]
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
It's me.
Jack.
[Aria sobs]
It's okay.
[Aria sobs] It's okay.
It was just a tree.
What did you think it was anyway?
He's coming.
Who's coming?
Big Al.
Who's Big Al?
[Aria sobs]
[fire crackles] [crickets chirp]
[sighs]
You really are a vindictive bastard, you know that?
Yeah.
You.
Wherever you are.
This doesn't change anything.
I hope you know that.
[chuckles]
Why do I even waste my time with you?
[sighs]
You're a joke.
Hey.
Come on. [Aria moans]
It's okay.
In there.
Get some sleep.
[breathes heavily]
Hm.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[breathes heavily]
[birds tweet]
[pan clinks]
You were shaking like a leaf.
Don't get used to it.
Fish?
Yeah.
I couldn't sleep, so I went and caught these.
Hope you like fish.
Mama and I used to fish.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
I bet she misses you so much, huh?
Mama...
she died.
I'm sorry.
I miss her.
Yeah.
What about your daddy?
I bet he can't wait to see you. He's...
He killed her!
He killed Mama!
[Aria sobs]
Aria?
Is your daddy looking for you?
Is that why you're up here?
What happened?
You don't have to tell me if you don't wanna.
I had to save Mama.
[dark tones]
You are both gonna learn to respect me!
[slap]
Are you listening?
Oh, that's right. You can't.
Because you're a stupid, deaf waste of space.
Stay quiet.
What're you telling her?
Hey, what're you telling her?
What're you telling her?
What are you telling her?
[flesh squelches] [groans]
[knife clunks]
I'm gonna kill you.
[door thuds]
[gun fires]
[groans]
[brooding orchestral music]
[Trish pants]
[Trish sobs]
You need to run!
Never stop! Never come back!
Never.
Come with me.
He'll catch us both.
I love you.
I love you too.
[Trish and Aria sob]
[gun fires]
I should've done that years ago.
[groans]
You can't run from me, maggot!
I'll find you!
[somber orchestral music]
[Aria sobs]
Shh.
You're safe now.
Okay?
I'm scared!
I know. It's okay.
You can stay with me.
I won't send you away.
[Aria sniffles] Okay?
I won't send you anywhere.
[door slams]
She's been out there about a week.
Think if we go back where I killed her mama,
we'll pick up a trail from there.
She's probably dead, all right?
And you don't look like you're in
the best shape of your life right now, either.
Are you questioning me, baby brother?
- You wanna run things now? - No, Al.
Roy, she saw what I did,
and that could come back on all of us.
She can't even speak.
You know, you are an idiot, Roy. You know that?
She can talk, believe me.
Oh, really? You ever heard her?
No, but I know she can.
Stop your crying and gear up.
She's out there by herself. We'll find her.
It's gonna take more than a little maggot to kill Big Al.
- Go! - All right.
- Go! - All right!
You two, get in the back!
[brooding orchestral music]
Come on!
Yeah! That was an awesome cast.
Okay, now what you wanna do is you wanna let that worm
sink all the way to the bottom,
'cause that's where the fish are,
and that's what we wanna catch, 'cause we're hungry.
So once the line stops moving, that means it's on the bottom
and at that point,
that's when you wanna start to slowly reel it in.
Not yet.
So after you start reeling it in,
you're gonna wait for a tug, 'cause that's the fish,
and then you wanna yank it back and catch the fish!
And I want you to reel that fish in, okay?
[chuckles] Yeah!
So go ahead and start to reel it and when you feel that tug,
that's the fish and... [water splashes]
It's okay.
There's a learning curve.
All right?
[water splashes]
What?
I...
Why are you splashing yourself?
What're you doing? No, you're gonna scare the fish away!
Look, you scared the fish away!
[water splashes] That, that's on you.
No!
No, look. Here, hold this.
I'm gonna get a fish.
[laughs] You're so silly! [water splashes]
[both laugh]
Why did you fall for that? You're out.
Oh, my god. [pants]
[screams] [water splashes]
[both laugh]
Tonight, we feast.
I want the fat one.
As you should.
For he who geets it, eats it.
Hm.
Okay.
You did not like that one.
Okay.
No dad jokes.
[chuckles]
It's for you.
It's a little big.
You know, but I think you'll grow into it.
I mean, you can't stay
in those dirty things forever, you know?
Besides...
You smell really bad. [chuckles]
Thank you, it's beautiful.
I don't know about all that, but, uh...
Here you go. Try it on.
Go ahead.
[sighs]
[Aria hums melodically]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Wow.
How did I miss a little princess dance right into my camp?
Do you like it?
[sniffles]
Good. I'm glad.
What's that?
Oh, it's nothin', it's just...
It's just something I wear, that's all.
Did someone give it to you?
I don't really wanna talk about it, all right?
Can I try it on?
No!
Aria, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't yell at you, I just...
It's just not something I talk about, all right?
Did it belong to someone special?
Yeah.
Very special.
[sighs]
Too special for the likes of me. That's for sure.
[chuckles]
[sighs] But enough about this old grump, huh?
Let's grill some fish, yeah?
[chuckles]
[tent unzips] [crickets chirp]
[tent zips]
[cans clink]
[cans rattle]
[Roy] Al, Al, Al, Al!
Al, Al, stop!
I see it.
- Is it hers? - Yeah, it is.
Give me that.
Looks like she went up the mountain.
So, we're gonna have to hoof it from here. Let's go.
[owls hoot]
[brooding string music]
Dad. [Jack chuckles]
I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to spy.
Sorry I took your notebook.
I was going to put it back.
[Jack sighs]
You know, some of my best work is in that book.
I would appreciate it if you asked me next time, okay?
Well...
What did you think?
I think that with some more practice, you can do better.
[dark swelling tones]
[pants]
Sorry, I woke you.
It's okay.
I was just having a bad dream.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
What do you say we go on a little adventure today?
Yeah?
Yeah.
[peaceful orchestral music]
[sighs]
Hey.
You ever fly in a plane before?
Would you like to?
Yeah?
Hold that thought.
Well, I don't exactly have a plane, but uh,
we could still fly.
[chuckles]
'Ay.
No peakin'.
[Aria chuckles]
Captain, prepare for takeoff.
Oh! [laughs] [Aria giggles]
What're you laughing at?
Can I try
You wanna try?
[sighs]
Absolutely. Here.
[warm piano music]
[chuckles]
A lot further than mine did.
[chuckles]
Wanna do some more?
Yeah.
Me too.
[bright orchestral music]
[paper flicks]
[sighs]
Thank you for teaching me how to fly.
[chuckles]
You're welcome.
[sighs]
It belonged to my daughter.
The necklace.
[sighs and clears throat]
It's the only thing I have left of hers.
I wasn't there for her.
[sighs]
In the end...
I let her die...
All alone.
I wasn't there.
[sighs] My little girl died alone.
[distant phone vibrates]
Without her daddy. [distant phone vibrates]
[phone vibrates]
Let's finish strong.
[baton clacks]
[brooding string music]
Hey, Dad.
I'm still here.
Where are you?
Call me back.
- Hey, sweetie. - Hi.
Is he coming?
I'm sure he'll be here soon.
Okay.
[brooding string music]
Hey, Mom.
I can't get through to Dad and you're not picking up.
I'm walking home. I'll see you soon.
[phone rings]
Hey, Mom.
Yeah, surprise-surprise. His dress rehearsal went late.
I don't know.
I'm almost home.
[brooding string music]
[tires screech]
[audience applauds]
[phone vibrates]
Jack.
Well done. I am very pleased. [phone vibrates]
Congratulations. It's gonna be a huge success.
Looking forward to it. [phone vibrates]
Hi, baby. I'm on my way.
Hello, who is this?
Yeah?
[ominous music]
What?
[notebook thumps]
[somber piano music]
[sobs]
It was my fault Mama died.
Don't say that. That's not what happened.
Mama tried to save me.
I was too heavy.
She had to set me down.
That's not what happened.
Bad things happen to good people.
That doesn't mean that it's their fault.
Okay?
It wasn't your fault.
What was your daughter's name?
Melody.
[breathes deeply]
Her name was Melody.
That is a beautiful name.
[chuckles]
That's a beautiful thing to say.
[sighs]
[crickets chirp]
[leaves rustle]
[distant thunder rolls]
Look out.
- [gun fires] - No!
You wanna let her know we're comin'?
I thought I saw something!
Listen to me. Let me do the thinking.
You do somethin' stupid like that again,
I'm gonna put a bullet in your head.
Al, knock it off, all right? He was just trying to help.
Shut up, Roy. I don't care if you're my brother.
Let me get somethin' straight here with all you. Look at me.
I got enough bullets for each and every one of you.
Let's go!
Go. Don't give me that look.
- I saw somethin'! - Put the gun down and go!
Gun down!
[distant gun fires]
What was that?
It's probably nothin'.
[distant thunder rumbles]
That storm's gonna be on us soon.
We better pick up the pace.
Come on.
[distant thunder rumbles]
[rain splashes]
Oh!
[chuckles]
We were almost stuck in that one, huh?
Ah!
It's really coming down.
Wow.
[thunder claps]
Are you scared of a little rainstorm?
It's okay.
It's not that bad, 'cause it's still quite a ways off.
Wanna know how I know that?
You see, it's in the time between the lightning
and the thunder.
I'll show you, okay?
[thunder claps]
It's three kilometers.
It's pretty far.
You try.
[thunder claps]
Three kilometers.
That's like two miles.
That's far, right?
[mumbles]
It's not so scary when you look at it that way, you know?
[thunder claps]
[Aria chuckles]
[thunder claps]
Aria?
Can I ask you a question?
It's about Big Al.
Do you think that he has any big scary friends
that would help him if he asked them if he needed them?
[thunder claps]
My uncle, Roy.
He never hurt us,
but he never stopped Big Al.
Uh-huh?
Is there anybody else, you think?
There are two.
Two of 'em.
The first one is really tall.
His name is Bo.
The second one is shorter.
I don't remember his name.
But he has black hair.
Mama called them the silent two.
They don't say much,
but if people don't pay,
they hurt them.
Do you think they are coming to get me?
Yeah.
Well, I'm a big believer in looking at things
the way that they really are and I'm not gonna lie to you.
I think they're coming.
But if they are, they haven't found us yet.
And they're probably real far away still.
But if they do find us, and they may never find us,
but if they do, I need to be ready, you know?
What do you mean, ready?
I will never let them take you.
But they have guns.
You're probably right.
But I have something that they don't have.
What?
You.
And you're worth fighting for.
I'm scared.
I know. I know you're scared.
But courage isn't about not being afraid.
It's about being afraid and still doing something about it.
I don't feel brave.
That's the funny thing about bravery.
Oftentimes, the brave ones don't know that they are,
until they have to be.
But just know this.
If they're looking for us,
and they find us and they try and take you,
I will kill them all.
You promise?
I promise.
I mean it with all my heart.
[thunder claps]
[chuckles]
Yeah. Brave.
Brave.
[chuckles]
Hm.
[thunder claps]
[birds tweet]
Hey, you.
It's me again.
Sorry about calling you a vindictive bastard.
But I need a favor.
I know I don't deserve one.
[sighs] But I'm gonna ask anyway.
[sighs]
I'll wait to use this,
if you help me keep her safe.
But if anything happens to her,
if she dies, I swear...
I swear I'll use it.
You understand me?
I may already be dead,
but if I'm not, no more hesitation.
This little game is over.
[sighs]
I know you don't care about me,
or what happens to me.
Maybe you're not even there.
But if you're there, God,
show me what to do.
Show me, please.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
There I go again.
Talking to the sky.
You'd think I'd have learned my lesson by now, right?

Over here! I found her!
- [gun fires] - Where?
Over here!
[dramatic orchestral music]
Step where I step, okay?
Over here, over here!
You find a friend, maggot?
He's not gonna save you.
Go get her.
[Jack] Come on.
[wood snaps] [Will screams]
[Will breathes heavily]
No, no!
No!
[breathes sharply]
[screams]
Well, she went and found herself a protector.
I don't know, Al. This is dangerous.
This guy knows this place better than we do,
and he's expecting us.
Four of us, one of him. Do the math, Roy.
You, get up.
[Will] It went through my leg, Al!
I need to get to a hospital!
Hey, the only way we're leaving this mountain
is with the maggot.
She's mine.
[tense piano music]
Come here, come here.
Hurry up there. Go, go, go, go, go.
Let's go.
[thunder claps]
[Bo] It's all clear.
[trap triggers]
[grunts]
[flesh squelches]
[screams]
Al. Listen, I'm telling you.
We need to go back, man. This guy's prepared for this, okay?
No!
He dies tonight.
You're speaking my language now.
We better get off this trail.
Come here, baby. Come here.
Get down, get down. I need you to stay here, okay?
If we're gonna stand a chance, I'm gonna need to use this,
and I cannot risk hitting you in the crossfire, okay?
I don't want you to die!
I know you're scared,
but I made a promise that I intend to keep, okay?
Remember.
We are brave.
Brave.
Yeah.
[tense orchestral music]
Please.
Let me save her.
Please.
[Aria screams]
Aria!
[breathes heavily]
Come on out!
Come on out and put the rifle down!
I know you're out there, mister!
Just put it down!
You better stop playing with me, mister!
I'll kill her!
Put down your weapons and walk away!
Why would we do that?
'Cause if you don't, I'll kill every single one of you!
Don't move! Don't move!
Go. Go ahead!
I'll put you down for good this time.
Don't play with me, mister. You shoot me, she falls.
[rocks clatter]
Is that what you want?
Is that what you want? You want this?
No, no!
Okay, okay, okay!
- Now. - Okay.
Don't hurt her.
Please.
I'm putting the gun down.
It's okay.
I'm putting the gun down.
Okay.
Boy, that was stupid. Take her, Roy.
Get her, get her.
Aria.
Why?
All this?
She's less than nothing.
Why would you choose death for her?
What've you got here?
Oh. [chuckles] Well...
Oh! I like this.
You know, I always wanted one of these.
You know she stabbed me?
I didn't think she had it in her but that maggot stabbed me.
She stabbed me right about...
Here! [Jack groans]
[Will laughs]
Now you're gonna know
that maggot will only bring you pain and death.
Look at me!
You're gonna die.
You're gonna die knowing it was all for nothing.
[Jack] Her name is Aria.
What did you say to me? [tense orchestral music]
Her name is Aria.
[thud] [Al groans]
Kill him! [knife slices]
[rifle hits Jack's head]
That's it.
Jack!
Don't hurt him!
Surprise-surprise.
It finally speaks.
Get her.
[Roy] Come here, come here.
[Aria] No!
You stay right there.
They say when you're on your way out,
you go into a big tunnel of light.
I always wanted to know if that's true.
So, do me a favor and tell me. Yeah?
Nice necklace.
[grunting]
That's it.
There ya go.
I got you. I got you.
[Jack groans]
There you go. There you go.
[Jack gasps]
[grunts]
Jack! [sobs]
Look at him! You're the one that did this.
You're the one that did this!
Let's go. Come on.
Go.

Come on!
[thunder rolls]
You kill my men, huh?
You kill my brother?
For what? This?
This little maggot?
Why?
She doesn't even have a name!
You
What're you telling her?
are brave.
