[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[MAN HUMMING]

[GIRL HUMMING]

[BOTH HUMMING]

Thank you.

Dad, this wood is really good for feathering.

It's really nice work.

[HUMS]

[FIRE CRACKLING]

Thank you.

[HUMMING]

[BIRD SQUAWKING]

Look.

Oh.

Excellent haul.

Need help?

Uh, could you tighten that?

Screw right here.

- Yeah. - Hold it. Yep.

Will it cook a mushroom?

It should cook a mushroom.

- You put it on here? - Just like that.

[LAUGHING]

- It might take a while. - Take a little bit.

[BARKING]

FATHER: Shoo.

Shoo. Shoo.

GIRL: Seems like the pack has gotten bigger.

- [BARKING CONTINUES] - FATHER: Yeah.

Shoo.

Shoo.

- You need an extra layer? - Yeah.

[CLICKING TONGUE]

[GIRL CLICKING TONGUE]

GIRL: That's leaking a lot.

FATHER: Will you hand me the tape?

How we looking?

This one needs another piece.

Here as well.

Well.

You got it?

Okay.

- [CHAINSAW WHIRRING] - [INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Here.

GIRL: Dad, it's been really damp.

Dad.

It's okay.

We can use the propane.

Don't waste it, we're low.

I'm hungry.

[GAS HISSES]

- [FLAME IGNITES] - [PAN CLATTERS]

It's really good.

- FATHER: Thank you. - Mmm.

[DISTANT CHAINSAW WHIRRING]

GIRL: It's okay. It's a work crew. I saw them earlier.

They're down by the pathways.

Drill.

FATHER: You're burned.

- Your tracks are all over the place. - Dad, I can do this.

Well, then, do it well. [PANTING]

Hey.

Do it well.

One more time.

Ten.

- GIRL: Fifteen. - Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Better.

Your socks.

- GIRL: What? - Your socks burned you.

You got to muddy them up.

Ankles were down.

Shine.

Shadow.

Shape.

- Dad. - That's better.

- Come on. - GIRL: I'm hungry.

[HELICOPTER PASSING OVERHEAD]

[PANTING]

[RAIN PATTERING]

[GIRL CLICKS TONGUE]

- [WHISPERING] Dad? - Hmm.

[GIRL CLICKS TONGUE]

[GRUNTS]

What's your favorite color?

What's yours?

Yellow.

What was my mother's favorite color?

[CHUCKLES]

Yellow.

Maybe she taught me that.

Hmm.

I wish I could remember her.

She would have wished for that, too.

Get some sleep.

It's late.

Goodnight, yellow.

Goodnight.

[EXHALES]

Why are we going to town today?

Your appetite's growing.

[GROWLING] I'm growing.

I know.

See that?

- See my boot, my track? - Yeah.

Yeah, I think we need a new path.

Dad.

If it's still here when we get back, can I keep it?

Yeah, that's fair.

Cool.

FATHER: Uh-uh.

In plain view.

Turn around.

[GIRL HUMMING]

WOMAN: [OVER PA] The cabin will swing as it passes the tower.

Please watch your balance.

Thank you for riding the Portland Aerial Tram.

As you exit, look both ways before crossing the tracks.

GIRL: Hello.

That's a, ah, kind of... I'd call it, like, a stress coin.

You put it in your pocket and have some stress here.

If you have a friend or family member in trouble that's a vet,

just pull it out and find a phone, call them up and just press one.

That number.

- Can I take this? - Absolutely.

That's a gunlock.

It goes in the barrel, keeps them from accidentally shooting someone.

It gives them time to think before they commit something wrong,

even worse, so...

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER PA]

- Long or short grain? - Long.

Dad, can we get these?

Okay.

Want or need?

Both.

MAN: "If you are a veteran who takes benzos for PTSD,

here is what you need to know."

You sell 'em to me.

Xannies.

Prazosin.

When was the last time that stopped a nightmare?

They're all pretty much useless anyway.

I haven't taken them in two years, seven months and 28 days.

Can you play your doctor any harder?

I don't want to get flagged.

At first, they're handing 'em out like candy, then they pull the leash on us.

Anything you get, bring it to me, I'll take it off your hands.

Yeah.

GIRL: "Seahorses pair for life.

They find each other first thing in the morning

to reinforce their pair-bonding."

[BEEPING]

- [GIRL GASPS] - MAN: Hello?

Somebody up there?

Hello.

Hello?

Is it dangerous to move the pawn in front of the king?

As long as you castle.

[DISTANT BARKING]

[BARKING CONTINUES]

This is not a drill.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO]

[BARKING]

[PANTING]

- OFFICER: [OVER RADIO] They're around here. - [BARKING CONTINUES]

[GIRL WHIMPERS]

Shoo.

- [BARKING] - Hey.

[GROWLING]

He's got him.

[BARKING]

Good. Stand up.

Still.

Hands on the back of your head.

Hey, still.

Don't move.

Anything on you that's going to hurt me?

Just the knives.

Why were you running?

Huh?

You alone out here?

My daughter's with me.

Tom, come out.

Tom, come out!

- [BARKING] - OFFICER: Stand up.

Come on.

Dad?

- OFFICER: Go down there. - [GRUNTS]

Cooperate. We haven't done anything wrong. Cooperate.

OFFICER: We don't know who you are or what's going on. Let's go.

Dad!

Dad?

Dad.

WOMAN: Can you tell me where you live?

In the park?

Just walk down here to me, okay?

I want to go with my dad.

Please. I want to go with my dad.

- I know you do. - TOM: Please. I want to go with my dad.

And you may be able to go with your dad.

But, right now, we need to ask you some questions.

Why'd you chase us?

WOMAN: We need to figure out what's going on here.

You needed a dog to figure that out?

It's a big park.

[SNIFFLES]

I want you to tell me a little bit about your dad.

Does he drink or take pills or anything that makes him act strange?

[SNIFFLES]

Does he have weapons here, anything that might hurt somebody?

No.

Okay.

Does he hide things?

TOM: This is where we keep our tools and important papers.

One second.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Thank you.

Are you just going to stand there?

What are you doing?

GIRL 2: We're making, um, dream boards.

GIRL 1: You cut out pictures that have to do with your future.

So, like houses or pets or jobs, stuff like that.

Something to look forward to.

Like, for example, I want love in my future.

So... it's just something that we do every week,

and it gives us a path.

So, what are you doing here?

I wasn't where I was supposed to be, so they took me away.

Oh, they don't think I was where I was supposed to be.

Okay. Where were you?

With my dad, in the park.

So you were homeless, then?

No.

Why else would you be living in the woods?

Okay, if you had a home, they wouldn't have brought you here.

Well, they just don't understand that it was my home.

Where's your dad now?

I think he's somewhere in this building.

He's going to come get me.

Tiffany, know anyone whose parents come for them?

No.

Me neither.

[DOOR CLOSES]

You want to make sure that you fill in each bubble.

Um, don't make any stray marks, because the computer will grade this test

and the computer can't tell the difference between bubbles and doodles.

TOM: "D."

"B."

"C."

"A."

"A."

How do you read my answers?

You think they're going to mean a certain thing?

They might be able to tell us a little bit more about you.

You could just ask.

Yeah, but you might not be able to say it.

We don't have any record of you going to school.

Who taught you how to read?

My dad teaches me.

You're actually quite a bit ahead of where you need to be, but...

school is about social skills, too, not just intellectual ones.

Can I see my dad now?

Respond true or false to each question.

Um, it's voice activated so you say it right in the microphone.

There's 435 questions.

If you can't answer something,

you got three seconds, it'll beep and move on to the next statement.

There you go.

COMPUTER: Welcome. The test will begin in three seconds.

I wake up rested and peaceful most mornings.

True.

I enjoy reading articles on crime.

False.

My day-to-day life is full of things that keep me interested.

True.

I have nightmares or troubling dreams.

[BEEPS]

I think about things that are too bad to talk about.

[EXHALES]

[BEEPS]

Things are turning out like the prophet said they would.

- [BEEPS] - False.

It seems like no one understands me.

False.

- Do you feel safe living with your dad? - Yes.

I saw that the two of you share a tent. Has this ever made you feel uncomfortable?

No.

It's warmer with two people at night.

Yeah.

Has anybody ever touched your body without your permission?

No.

We didn't need to be rescued.

Your dad needs to provide you shelter and a place to live.

He did.

[WOMAN SIGHS]

He does.

It's not a crime to be unhoused.

Many people are.

But it's illegal to live on public land.

Is my dad taking tests like this?

- [BEEPS] - [DOOR OPENS]

[GRUNTS]

- [BEEPS] - MAN: I know there's a lot of questions

and you wouldn't be the first one to have a problem with this test.

- Okay? - [BEEPING CONTINUES]

Um, but you can only abstain from so many. I don't want it to count against you.

Okay, so, true or false?

"I'm proud of my daughter."

True.

She's a really wonderful kid.

You did a really great job raising her.

So let's answer as many of these as we can.

"I am a strong team player."

Used to be.

Okay.

"I find it hard to imagine

having a long life and fulfilling my goals."

In finding placement for you and Tom,

we've considered what kind of support will be most helpful for the both of you.

We'd like to go back to the way we were living.

We have found an option.

It's not the park.

Um, it's kind of a special accommodation. It's pretty isolated.

There'd be no rules or regulations saying you can't live here...

because someone is saying you can.

RADIO: Traffic has already begun to back up across the state.

And taking a look at what the chopper sees, this is...

Where's Forest Park?

It's directly behind us.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

This is Mr. Walters.

Hi, Tom. Welcome.

Hey, there. Welcome.

WOMAN: I already got you started on some basic groceries.

And here's a casserole for later.

When I read about you in the paper...

I really can't thank you enough. This is just very generous of you.

Oh, it's... I'm just happy we could... make this work.

A lot of people like to imagine

they could live the way you guys were living.

Um...

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Okay.

Thanks, guys. Um...

See you guys in about a week or so.

Tomorrow will be a full day,

so I'll just leave you two to get settled in.

[LOCK CLICKS]

Feels good to be by ourselves again.

It does.

They treat you all right?

It was hard not knowing how you were doing.

I was worried about you too.

Everything's different now.

We can still think our own thoughts.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in.

- TOM: Here. - [SIGHS]

Your favorite sweater.

There's something on my mind.

They said... a person saw you, and...

that's how they found our camp.

I saw a person, but I didn't think they saw me.

It was a mistake.

Why didn't you say something?

I was afraid.

I didn't want to leave our camp. It was such a good one.

Yeah. We stayed there too long.

Are we going to be okay here?

We're going to make the best of it.

TOM: We could sleep out here. No one would notice.

Yeah.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Morning.

I didn't mean to interrupt your breakfast.

I was hoping you could help out with the tree work.

You ever drive a tractor?

You have any work in the stables?

Yeah, but I don't want you down there just yet.

Those are expensive animals and... takes some training.

Right now, I need help with the trees.

That's where I make my money.

Swapping out.

Yeah, got about a half dozen more left.

We don't want to send something like this to a customer in California.

They would not be pleased with that.

It's got a big hole in it. The top isn't over center.

It's a little wild. We only want one top in a Christmas tree.

No... Right...

That one.

Right where the line of the tree meets the leader,

that's where it needs to be cut.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Uh, these are... things that were donated to our agency.

Got it?

We don't need more things.

Oh, maybe you can find something you can really use.

How are you guys feeling about this place?

- Good. - Good.

[BELL RINGS]

Oh, I brought you the, um, paperwork to enroll Tom in school.

Here's the statute so you can read it and understand it.

Um, I'm going to need that back signed next time.

And then we can start talking about the DMV.

- [EXHALES] - WOMAN: Don't forget this last...

- Now push it down... - Don't.

Push forward.

Got ya. That's okay.

[BICYCLE CREAKING]

Keep pedaling. Ready?

Yeah, but the bike's leaning.

Then you got to counterbalance it with your weight.

Put your legs into it.

Look where you want to go.

[BELL RINGING]

PASTOR: They offer free acupuncture

and just a safe place to come and share with each other and unload your burden.

With that, at this time, I'd like to invite you all to just stand,

greet one another, say hello to someone that you may not have met before.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

- Hello. - How are you doing there?

Wonderful.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

PASTOR: All right, you may be seated.

Ah, this morning we have a special...

We have, all the way from Klamath Falls, For His Glory Dance Troupe

here to celebrate and worship God through both music and dance.

[MELODIC ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

Good to see you again this morning.

- MAN: Nice to see you. - PASTOR: Yeah.

Hey, guys, how are you?

It was good to see you guys this morning. You did so good.

WOMAN: Would you like to try the flags?

There you go.

If you take and you cross over, cross over back and forth...

and go up and down with them...

- See you. All right. - WOMAN: Kind of a figure eight.

Hi. I'm, I'm Pastor Spencer. Are you new here?

- New. - Oh, all right.

It was great having you in this morning.

Um, we'd sure love to have you back.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Join us anytime.

- Dad? - Hmm.

God created frogs.

Yeah?

Did you know that?

Says who?

This pamphlet.

"Considering membership?

There are many ways to participate.

Music, devotional dance,

carpentry, camp, prayer group, rock and roll, social media."

Is that why we went?

We went because Walters asked us to.

You dress up, you show up on Sunday,

people will believe certain things about you.

Then they don't ask so many questions about our lives.

Our lives before.

[CHAINSAW WHIRRING]

[HELICOPTER OVERHEAD]

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Hello?

- Hey. - Is this your rabbit?

Yeah, I didn't see her go by.

I'll take her from you.

That's all right, Chainsaw.

Good girl. Thanks.

[SIGHS] Yeah.

Uh, hey.

She likes to take off when I start clipping her nails.

And why would you do that?

For shows.

For 4-H, you know?

FFA?

Future Farmers of America.

Don't know what that is.

Well, it's a club where you learn about agriculture and animals.

Is that what you want to do in the future? Be a farmer?

I don't know yet.

I enjoy the clubs and stuff.

You from around here?

No, I just moved in. Over there.

That's going to be my tiny house.

I'll have my kitchen sink about right here.

Window right here.

Be able to look out while I'm doing dishes.

Pretty nice.

And then I'll have a loft, a little ladder that goes up.

A little sleeping loft.

Maybe even have Chainsaw sleep up there too.

- Are you going to live here? - Yeah.

Where you going to put it?

Colorado, I was thinking. Maybe Utah.

- It's actually Chainsaw's mom right there. - [CHUCKLES]

They look alike.

She still alive?

Yeah, she's still alive.

If you want, you can set her down.

There you go.

The ears are soft.

Yeah, that's my favorite part.

If you like rabbits, you should come to the meeting.

The 4-H meetings.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Tom!

Tom!

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SHUTS]

- Hi. - FATHER: Hi.

I met a kid who lives down the road. We were talking about rabbits.

There was no time to tell you. It was just happening.

Sorry for making you worry about me.

If we had a phone, I could have called you.

We've always been able to communicate without all that.

I think it might be easier on us if we try to adapt.

We're wearing their clothes. We're in their house. We're...

We're eating their food. We're doing their work. We have adapted.

The only place we can't be seen is in this house.

We can still think our own thoughts.

Like you said.

[SIGHS]

What if the kids at school think I'm strange?

'Cause of the way we were living.

How important are their judgments?

Guess I'll find out.

MAN: Take one step back.

Okay. Keep your rabbit tucked in there.

Take one more step forward.

Please return your rabbits to the table.

Very good.

Okay.

Turn your rabbits to face you.

Take your left arm and you'll kind of hold the rabbit close to you as you lift up.

The other hand on the scruff.

Right.

Yes, thank you. Thank you.

Now you can go ahead and just slowly set them back down.

Very good.

Start checking the ears.

Okay. And listen to its breathing.

You want to make sure that it sounds nice and clear, like it's not having,

you know, any congestion or anything, okay?

And a note on self-presentation as well. Make sure you stand up straight.

Smile, look happy to be here, right?

A little confidence is always good.

Very good, guys.

[KNOCKS]

Hi. Um...

I wanted to drop off some paperwork for you.

Um, here is the date for your appointment with housing.

And I thought you could use a phone.

It's important for you to follow through so you guys can remain independent.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Okay, well, um, I'll be back in a couple weeks.

We can go over that and, um...

All right, I'll see you guys.

[WHISPERING] Pack your things. Don't take anything you don't need.

[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

I liked it there.

Did you even try?

I did.

Huh?

Dad, did you? 'Cause I can't tell.

They were going to separate us if we didn't follow their rules.

Won't they notice we're gone?

Well, if we're lucky, not till tomorrow.

What are you doing here?

Did you bring them with you?

Since you two got burned, the rangers are here all the time.

Stop!

[HORN BLARES]

Ow.

Let me see.

It's not too deep.

Clean it out.

Why are we doing this?

Dad, we shouldn't be here.

When they start to board, get on. I'll be in the back.

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT ON PA]

BUS DRIVER: [ON PA] Good afternoon, welcome aboard.

I would like to, first of all, assure you that my goal today

is that you have a safe, smooth, and comfortable ride to your destination.

We will be arriving in Salem next, and Albany, then Eugene,

and, lastly, the University of Oregon.

Mind if I took a look at your passengers?

[ENGINE STOPS]

Hey. How's it going?

GIRL: Good.

Are you traveling alone?

GIRL: Yes.

OFFICER: You have any ID on you?

- GIRL: No. - You don't look like an adult.

- GIRL: I'm... 18. - You look pretty young.

I'm gonna ask you to step off the bus so we can look into your situation.

Just grab your bag.

- Get off the bus. - GIRL: Come on.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[CAMERA CONTINUES CLICKING]

FATHER: [WHISPERS] What's wrong?

Dad, no one can see us.

BUS DRIVER: We're pulling into the rest area now.

We'll be here for about ten minutes. Thank you.

[ENGINE STARTING]

Dad, the bus is about to leave.

We're not getting back on. We're not getting back on.

Why?

Let me clean it.

What did that woman on the bus ask you?

Nothing.

She barely even noticed me. She was doing her own thing.

This isn't the way we used to be.

- Have some. - You hearing me?

Drink it.

FATHER: Hey, are you going north?

MAN: No, sir, I'm not. I'm heading in the opposite direction.

MAN 2: I can't take that liability, I'm sorry.

[POLICE SIREN CHIRPS]

We broke down.

- Yeah? - Can you take us up the road a bit?

I'm gonna give you a ride, I need to know a few things.

Let me talk to the kid a minute.

Over here.

If you're in trouble here, now would be a good time to tell me.

My dad and I just really need a ride.

Your dad?

I just need to know I'm doing the right thing.

You are.

["QUITE A FEELIN" PLAYING ON STEREO]

[SIREN WAILING]

Not sure why that sheriff was out here.

Marijuana's legal up here now. So it's probably not that.

But then, you got all the, ah... people who got hooked on pain medication.

Yeah, it's devastated their lives, families too.

Ruined their marriage.

I'm aware of a few people that have.

Well, we just crossed into Washington.

FATHER: Yeah, anywhere around here.

This is that logging road...

- Hey. - ...I was talking about right here.

Time to get out.

Good luck to you.

- Appreciate it. - Yeah.

It was good to have your company, you guys.

- Likewise. - Bye, Willie Nelson.

Try and stay dry.

- Okay, watch your step. - Willie will miss ya.

Bye.

It's cold.

We're at a higher altitude.

My fingers are stiff.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

TOM: You said there'd be some cabins.

FATHER: I really thought there would be.

My boots are leaking.

Huh?

My boots are leaking.

Do you have extra socks?

Yeah, they're in my bag.

Don't...

Keep your gloves on.

What are we going to do? Where are we going?

We're going to keep moving.

We've got to move quickly.

Dad. Dad.

Can we please sit?

We've got to keep moving.

Please, can we...

What?

I want to sit.

- FATHER: No, no, no. - TOM: I can't feel my toes.

You can't sit down. You can't sit, come on.

I'm tired. I need to sit.

[GRUNTS]

[SOMBER INSTRUMENTALS PLAYING]

Put the knife down.

- Hey, kiddo. Put the knife... - I want to help.

Put the knife down.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

It's gonna keep the heat close to your body.

Stay with me. Stay with me.

Dad, are we going to freeze in our sleep?

No, Tom.

How do you know?

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Hey.

Dad.

Do you think it's empty?

[KNOCKS]

[GRUNTS]

It tingles.

That's when the blood starts coming back, they start warming up.

[SIGHS]

How many are there?

Three.

It's really good.

Maybe we could build ourselves a place like this.

What about a tiny house in a tree?

You wouldn't need any land for that. Just one tree.

Yeah.

Do you miss the things we had at the farm?

Do you?

They were really never our things.

- Beans. Noodles. - Noodles.

Jerky.

Chocolate.

Chocolate.

- Can we play chess when you get back? - Yes.

Gather kindling before dark.

Hey.

Save those matches for the stove.

I won't be gone long.

Follow the creek...

over the ridge.

- Along there... to here? - Hmm. Uh-huh.

Hmm...

- Make sure you drink some water. - I will.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

[CLICKS TONGUE]

"Do you have difficulty enjoying things?"

"Have you felt distant or cut off from people?"

[MUTTERS]

"Are you unable to have sad or loving feelings?"

[FIRE CRACKLING]

Dad!

[DISTANT GUNSHOT]

Dad?

No.

Can you hear me?

Dad, can you hear me?

[DISTANT GUNSHOT]

[DISTANT ENGINES REVVING]

Hey! Stop!

I really need your help; my dad is hurt.

Get in, get in.

He's by the stream.

- Hold on. - Slow.

Okay.

- [BARKING] - Hi, what's going on?

We found him up in the woods.

He's in pretty bad shape.

Okay, one more.

- Okay. - And go...

I don't know. He's...

- He's got to get to a hospital. - Can someone from here help?

- No. - Can you not call anyone?

Can you put it down?

They're gonna treat him even if you don't have money.

He just doesn't like to be asked questions.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

- No. - You sure?

Please, can someone just...

- Can we just take care of it ourselves? - Yeah.

Can we just take care of it ourselves?

Don't worry. I'm going to take care of it. It's gonna be okay.

- Get yourself some water. - You don't need to call anybody.

I'll be right back.

- [SIGHS] - MAN: Easy.

I bet your head is about throbbing, isn't it?

[GROANS]

- You got any pain? - [GRUNTS]

- [FATHER CRIES OUT] - MAN: Mmm-hmm.

All right. Easy. Let me have it.

I'm going to have to pull this boot off. It's gonna hurt.

One, two, three.

[CRIES OUT, GRUNTS]

- [FATHER EXHALES SHARPLY] - MAN: Yeah, you did a number.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Now you're with me.

Pain lets you know you ain't dead yet.

[GRUNTS]

Remember being in the woods?

You all right? Stay with me.

Do you know where you are?

- On a couch. - [CHUCKLES] Yeah.

You are on the couch.

The good news is, brother,

I didn't see any fluid coming out your nose or your ears.

But this is going to take some time.

Blane was a medic in the Army, so he's in good hands.

Was your dad in the service?

He was.

What happened out there?

We got lost.

Where were you guys headed?

I don't think we knew where we were going.

Where do you live? Where's your home?

With my dad.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Well, he's splinted and taped up.

There's a fair amount of soft-tissue damage,

so that's going to take time to heal.

That's going to frustrate him.

It's hard to tell if he may have lost some function in his toes without an X-ray.

- Can he walk? - Yes, he'll be able to walk.

Those are for the pain, when he does finally wake up.

- WOMAN: Thank you. - MAN: Yep, you bet.

I'll be back to check on him in the next couple days.

- Thank you. - MAN: You're welcome.

Here you are, dear.

Tom, if your dad is messed up with something or running from someone,

I really need you to tell me.

'Cause folks around here aren't looking to get mixed up in any trouble.

It's not that kind of trouble.

Get some rest.

I will.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I'm so sorry.

I know.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO]

- Paul, how you doing? - Hi.

Okay, we got the other RVs on up the hill, but this one's a little more private.

We'll be out of your way here.

[FATHER GASPING]

If you need anything else, you know where to find me, okay?

FATHER: Thank you.

We won't be here long.

It's not a problem.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I like it.

WOMAN: Do you know what these boxes are?

- No. - They keep bees.

Have you ever seen inside of a beehive?

Would you like me to show you?

Okay, wait right there.

Let me get something for you.

When I open this, the bees are going to come up.

But they're not coming out to hurt you.

When a bee stings, it dies. So they don't want to sting you.

They want to come up and land on you and just get to know you.

It's kind of nice to have the trust of a whole box of creatures

that have the power to come out and kill you if they wanted to.

So it means a lot to me that I have their trust.

I've worked hard to get it.

Hmm.

Come on.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[GRUNTS]

I nearly got it.

[SIGHS]

Lost it.

Kind of looks like a seahorse.

Yeah.

How's your dad doing?

He's okay. Trying to get up on the crutches.

Yeah, I didn't figure he'd stay down for long.

He wants to leave.

I imagine he's trying to find a way to make it all right.

Now he feels stuck.

[DOG WHINING]

You know, my friend here, Boris, has helped me a lot.

I think your dad would like having him around.

He can sense when somebody's restless.

He can nudge him awake and help him out of the dreams that way.

That's what he does for me.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking him for a few days.

Hey.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

# Kiss me once, oh, kiss me twice #

# Give me a taste of paradise #

# I don't want the blues Always on my shoulders #

# Get me a cold beer as I get older #

# Oh, my stars, how you undo me... #

All right. Good seeing you.

# Oh, my stars... #

- Okay. - Thank you.

# Oh, my stars #

# You undo #

# Me #

# The sun is going down And the sky is different colors #

# Baby runs through All the different hues #

# I feel all right But these times are bad #

# And I'm alone here Help me with these blues #

# Oh, my stars, how you... #

Thank you, dear.

Dale, this is all I've got.

Me and Dad, we want to stay.

Can you take it?

You're welcome to stay down there until your dad gets better.

If you guys were going to be here a long time, it costs something to stay on

for water and propane, things like that.

Is this enough?

I don't need to take your money right now.

We want to stay a long time.

Okay.

I can take this as a deposit.

I'm not going to rent the place out from under you.

Thank you.

- Will you grab that other bag? - Dale, I really like living here.

Hmm.

[GRUNTS]

I'm looking for the carrots, the dried carrots.

What's that for?

I leave this out for someone who lives up in the woods.

I haven't seen him in years.

But I know he gets the food because when I come back,

the bag is always empty.

That's a good one.

Throw some oranges in there, too.

In the same spot for years.

[EXHALES]

Have you ever seen inside a hive before?

It's cool, huh?

You put your hand over it,

you can feel the warmth of the hive.

A person can withstand 500 stings.

Close your eyes.

Open.

See, you don't need to be scared.

I want to tell you something.

Please do.

I paid for this place, so we can stay here.

Yeah, it's the right thing to do.

I rented this place...

so we can live here.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

# I'd rather be in some dark holler #

# Where the sun don't ever shine #

# Than to be here alone #

# Knowing that you're gone #

# Would cause me to lose my mind #

# So blow your whistle, freight train #

# Take me far on down the track #

# I'm going away, I'm leaving today #

# I'm going, but I ain't coming back #

[ZIPPING]

What are you doing?

Dad, your leg isn't even healed all the way.

And it won't... it won't heal right.

I don't want to leave.

Last time, you almost died.

And you would have if I hadn't found you.

That will never happen again.

These people, they're not that different from us.

Yes, they've been very good to us. But we have to...

You!

You need...

Not me.

The same thing that's wrong with you isn't wrong with me.

I know.

Dad?

I know you would stay if you could.
