Original subtitles

What is this whiny crap we're listenin' to?

Rawlins, you suck, man.

They gay bar's across the street!

I bet she still sings better than you!

Don't know what he's playin'. Is that guitar in tune?

To top that, he looks like he's 12.

He's a little boy.

He walks in here trying to be tough

with the leather jacket and boots.

And then he's singin' about love.

He probably ain't even been laid yet.

He sings like that, he won't be gettin' laid any time soon.

LAND OF LEOPOLD

LAND OF LEOPOLD Subrip: Pix

The cards dealt to me were rags.

All I saw in my hands was pain and violence.

I wanted to escape what my father did.

If I didn't...

I would end up the person I despised the most.

Growing up, nothing was simple.

My mom was always gone...

on the road performing.

We would talk through letters often...

but only see her once in a while.

I got to spend most of my time with Dad.

Well...

you can guess what life with him was like.

Drank himself near to death before he grabbed that gun...

killed Mom and himself.

So I ran...

away from the world.

I tried to shut it out of my mind,

but the images never left.

-Morning, Michael. -Morning, Reggie.

Reggie, do you know what time it is?

We're already short of staff as it is.

Your tray's on the counter there.

Yes, ma'am.

[footsteps approaching

Morning, beautiful.

Morning, Reggie.

You have my stuff?

The other stuff.

Come on, Reggie, we made a deal.

If I find out you're skipping your meds...

You're the best.

Kisses.

Don't get caught this time.

Can you dare imagine what it must be like

to stand at the foot of the great beast...

between you and the hot flesh, only a sliver of steel?

Emphasis!

If you're going to play in one of my productions,

professionalism, embody it!

Closed rehearsals! Go away!

You're disrupting the tranquility.

Come on, Francis, you gotta take your meds

just like everybody else, man.

Okay, everyone. Take five.

Where's Cal?

Stepped out.

Places, class!

Objectives, obstacles, intent, triggers.

What are they?!

Corrina!

You guys are really quiet today.

Shut up.

Corrina, you make me so happy!

When my skies are gray!

Cal!

Get down from there!

Not until Corrina accepts me as her soulmate!

She knows it.

It's her destiny.

Cal, just get down already, man.

No!

He doin' the roof thing again?

He's obsessed with you.

This shit gotta end.

As far as I can remember I was a runaway.

No home, no family...

disconnected from the world...

drifting in and out of trouble.

A good lawyer and enough money

can get you out of anything.

A so-so public defender

and three dollars in your pocket...

well...

that'll get you 12 months.

I did a year at Northridge Penitentiary

for beatin' the grin off that face.

Northridge proved to be a real hellhole.

But before the State threw me back on the streets,

they sent me to a halfway house

in the middle of nowhere.

It was for people who didn't fit in...

in other words, those who are mentally unstable.

Come on down here before I whoop your ass!

Are you serious?

Corrina!

I love you so much! Boom!

The first person I saw

when I got there was Cal.

Try this.

Corrina!

That's hospital property!

He wasn't what you'd call...

a big supporter of the arts.

That's it.

I'm comin' up there and gettin' your ass, man.

Ignore him and he'll have no one to jump for.

Hey, Reggie, it looks like we got ourselves another one!

He looks sad...

but in a kinda cute way.

18, she's legal.

Damn.

So... have a seat here.

Dr. Warren will see you when he's ready.

All right?

News now, Pete.

It ain't good.

We gotta move on, partner.

You're next in line.

What's the compensation?

It's like this.

The State's check isn't nearly as sweet as an insurance claim.

I don't know how I feel about this.

It doesn't make a damn how you feel about it, Deece.

The State board doesn't bargain.

What's your take?

50 percent.

That's a hefty take.

You ain't got anything else, pal.

I'm your only ally.

Small State contractors like you...

don't cut it anymore.

If Northridge takes your psycho clients...

you can forget it.

I got your back...

as long as you live up to your end of the deal.

You could be livin' high, my old friend.

You could be livin' high.

What's it like...

to kill?

E.O.P. at Northridge for a year...

It says that...

you're a violent type...

a convicted criminal.

Says you're prone to running away?

I like the exercise.

Ain't nothing' wrong with that.

Yeah... but don't get any ideas...

'cause nature around these parts...

ain't too forgivin' to city folk.

You know, you could've, joined the service

and put that anger to good use.

Rejected.

They think I'm nuts.

I didn't even kill anybody.

Seriously injuring people is your thing?

Well...

there'll be none of that here.

Get me?

Get me?!

-Get it. -Good.

Give me those.

Maybe you can earn 'em back.

If you follow the rules, that is.

And those fancy sunglasses too.

Your shoes.

Any other contraband I should know about?

That's it, Doc.

I told you not to call me that.

You're lucky to be here.

You might want to take advantage of the opportunity

before it's too late.

Too late for what?

Your file must be signed by me

and approved by the State

before release.

You mess up here,

you go right back to Northridge,

and you can kiss all your rockstar dreams goodbye.

This is my rodeo...

and you're late for group meeting.

Reggie'll show you the way.

The pen.

Nurse.

Frank, hand it over.

Are you incompetent?

Don't you see he's just pining for attention?

-Cal, please wait... -Nurse Verona?

This is Leopold Rawlins.

Hello, Leopold. Please join us.

Leopold.

Leopold, why don't you introduce yourself to the group?

Not today.

Well, it is customary for new patients to...

Nurse Verona, is it?

Not today.

Very well. Tomorrow you can share.

Why do we gotta bring another queer to the group?

That's enough, Cal.

Okay, now, Mary Bell,

are you still having the nightmare?

No, not anymore.

Good!

Positive reinforcement through negative association.

That's what we covered last week.

I do have a new dream, though.

Really?

It's about a bow tie

that wraps itself around my neck...

softly...

slowly, and it tightens

until I'm on the verge of death,

and then it loosens just enough

so that I can feel the warm air

tease my cold lungs,

and then it tightens back up again.

And it does this over, and over, and over,

and over, and over, and over again until...

until I finally wake up.

Good, improvement.

-Improvement? -I like that last one better.

We'll open up the floor when we finish with Mary Bell.

You need to learn how to lead.

Cal, this is your second and last warning!

For fuck's sake! She's making these dreams up!

My God, could you be any more fucking dim-witted?

I'm not finished yet, Nurse Verona.

I know.

I'm not finished yet!

-Ern. -Yeah, Ern!

If I have to stop this session one...

What? You're gonna do what?

I'm not finished yet!

Go on.

I wanna fuck you in the bathroom.

No.

-I like it on the sink. -Shit everywhere.

That is extremely inappropriate.

Good grief, what is going on with...

Old hag!

I'll light your pussies on fire.

All of 'em. They're burning in the shit box as we speak.

Meow.

Meow. Meow.

This was the circus...

and that's how I met Corrina.

I didn't know who she was,

but there was something about her.

I wanted to find out more.

Being out here in the middle of nowhere

kind of forced you to connect with one another

and clear up your thoughts.

I started thinking more about my family.

Seeing my parents die at a young age

was a hard thing to shake.

All I had from my mother

was a few letters and this photograph.

She's gorgeous.

I was gonna be a mother.

I grew up on this...

artists' commune...

and all we did all day and all night was paint...

and time didn't exist...

and there was never enough of it.

I can barely remember what that feels like.

My life's always going in...

opposite directions.

What do you mean?

It's just not...

easy.

Fate's heavy on some.

When...

When Grandma found out that I was coming...

she made this quilt for my mom...

and it was covered in caterpillars.

My mom used to wrap me in it...

and sing me to sleep, and she told me...

that one day I would do the same...

but then...

I snagged it on a tree...

and she got mad...

'cause it started to unravel.

Sometimes things, they...

they just don't fit like they should.

"To my Leo...

I'm so proud of you.

Everyone says you're gonna grow

into such a handsome man.

Do you like the new guitar I sent you?

There's something new and fun to learn every day.

The best part of life is what we don't expect.

Music has taken me far and wide...

sometimes, to the other side of the world...

but remember...

even if I'm not close by...

I know that I'm always with you.

We live our life in stages.

When one ends, another one begins.

Change is constant...

and life is short.

Seize every moment...

every breath.

I'll be back soon, my baby boy.

I miss you more than words.

Love, Mom."

Baby giraffe.

Gazelle, gazelle, gazelle.

Francis was a novelty.

He liked games and kept the morale high.

I figured...

he was in pretty deep.

How're you likin' the place so far?

Are you thinkin' about makin' a run for it?

Here's your pen.

Keep it.

You want to be friends?

Go get the keys and un-cuff me.

I'm the boss.

Yeah, I heard you the first time, you fucking loon-o.

Now go get the goddamn keys.

They left you hangin'?

Reggie, Reggie told me to watch him.

I'm the boss.

No, Eddie, no you're not...

Make good use of yourself

and rinse this cup out for me, would you please, Eddie?

Thanks.

Where in the hell are you getting these blades?

I don't have it anymore.

Why are you doing this, Callum?

Why?

You know I'm gonna have to have your room searched.

I'm fine.

Why'd they cuff you?

Look, they just cuffed me here. All right?

I don't believe that. Not for a second.

It was Verona.

Don't worry about staff issues. All right?

-Mr. Deece? -No.

So, you gonna un-cuff me already?

I mean, this is... This is probably illegal.

-Mr. Deece. -Eddie, I said...

Th-there's someone here to see you.

What can I do for you?

Why is that patient handcuffed to the chair?

That's what I wanna know.

I'm sorry. You are...?

Catherine Windgate,

State Inspector assigned to Milton Way.

I'm looking for the clinical director,

Dr. Warren.

Well then, look no further. I'm Dr. Warren.

I've been assigned by the board to...

assess your establishment.

Very well...

Whatever you need, I'm always here to help and...

I'm, sorry about this little mix-up here.

Eddie, go grab the keys for me, would you?

Okay.

Go.

Okay, Dr. Warren...

We'll be in touch.

Okay.

Take care.

I'll be damned

if I don't pass this place on.

300k is big money.

Enough to hang your hat on for good.

Just make sure it looks like an accident.

We'll see. We'll see.

But please, you try to stall 'em on your end.

That's more like it.

I gotta go.

Thanks, Frank.

Those bastards, they never give me more than two.

How's the new boy toy?

You're gonna let him get away with that?

Don't.

It's okay.

Can I help you?

If you wanted seconds...

you should've just asked.

Fuck!

Again, people?

Sir, it was the new guy, Leopold.

He just threw a try of food at me for no reason.

He's lying, Dr. Warren.

Why are you stickin' up for him?

Your first day, Leopold...

and you're already on thin ice.

Look, it was an accident.

I dropped my tray.

Maybe you do wanna go back where you came from?

Maybe I'm headed there already.

Leopold will clean this up, Reggie.

Busted.

Cal, you'll be joining him.

W-wait!

All right. Clean 'em off,

then lights out, except for those two.

And make sure they get the best cleaning equipment we've got, all right?

I'm gonna keep my eye on 'em.

All the stunts and charades end today.

I can tell who's real and who's not.

Ain't no room for faggots here...

Not on my watch.

Stay clear of Corrina. She's mine.

She always has been.

I'll do what I want.

You think so?

Whatcha lookin' at?

Nothin'.

Fucking bitch!

You want what you want?!

Is this what you want?!

Give it to me!

What are you afraid of?!

What are you afraid...

What happened to that broom, Rawlins?

It was an accident.

Another accident?

You two, get up to your rooms.

I saw myself in Cal.

Somewhere inside when I was young...

without a home... without a friend.

Deece was trying hard for his son...

but Cal was so damaged.

My mom's letters were the only memory

of what having a family felt like.

"Leo... I'm missin' you.

I think about you growing up.

I think about your music.

I loved your last letter.

I know it's tough without me there.

I wish I could ease your mind.

I know I'm gettin' older.

No one is around forever.

Just remember how special you are...

to see the good in people.

Look for the beauty in the world.

There are bad people, but...

you're not bad.

You come from a good place.

Remember...

even if I'm not next to you...

I'm always with you.

I hope you know I'm comin' for you soon...

like I always said.

And now...

I'm close.

Everything's going to be okay.

Love... Mom."

[distant train horn.

This is my favorite place...

my little sanctuary.

What's on your arm?

Words...

to a song.

How's it go?

Not finished yet.

I'd like to hear it when you're done.

They're gonna be free.

I'm thinking about escaping.

Maybe tonight.

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe next year.

Maybe tonight?

I'm all better now.

Promise this stays between us.

Milton Way is shutting down.

They're sending all of us to Northridge.

I ain't goin' back to Northridge

no matter what.

I know my lines. I'm a tiger.

You know your lines. Lines are all over you.

You should be in the... in the zoo,

not the movie business!

Dinner in 30 minutes!

What's on the menu tonight, gar�on?

Rice stew, same as every Monday night.

And ain't it the best rice stew this side of sane?

You don't tell me shit.

I'm the master here.

You're the apprentice. Hey.

Hi.

Your use of monochromatics continues to impress, Cor-Cor.

You should hang it up in the entrance.

Can't. Milton Way is no more.

It's Northridge from here on in.

Right, Leopold?

Do they have paints at Northridge?

Okay, listen.

Promise this stays between us three.

We got no one else to tell.

It's a prison.

No paints, no music...

That sounds like exaggeration.

Sounds like an exaggeration?

Hospitals are moving patients...

into prisons.

It's not somewhere you wanna be.

I know where I'm headed.

Where?

Anywhere but there.

Listen...

I know these parts pretty well.

I can draft a plan.

I could've made my own escape, no problem,

but if it meant getting closer to Corrina...

Okay, let's do it.

I love you. Do you love me, too?

I need to speak with Dr. Warren, please.

Dr. Warren. I'm sorry.

He was found decapitated.

A stripper cut his head off.

Excuse me?

I know. Tragic.

Is this some sort of sick joke?

Have Dr. Warren call me immediately.

It's urgent.

Beautiful day at Milton Way.

Who was that, Mary Bell?

God.

You are never to answer this phone again, you hear me?!

Never!

God.

It's in the back.

Deece had started selling Milton Way off

piece by piece.

The debts were so high, though,

that it wasn't enough.

Felt that the ship was sinkin'

but he would never let anyone know.

Corrina would always paint the same picture.

Sometimes of a young boy

and sometimes of a young girl.

I guess that was her way of imagining

what it would be like to be a mother.

Francis had such a childlike innocence

and imagination about him.

He had to be shutting out his past life very well.

He refused to talk about what got him there...

and I never asked.

At Milton Way...

the patients created their own world.

They felt safe when they were able to dream.

Deece had done a good job

makin' a home for these people.

Everyone...

Ron, you too.

Good morning, troops.

Today... we're gonna go out on a field trip.

All right? Everybody up!

You like to get it up, don't you, Deecey Boy?

Mary Bell, you stay here.

You look a little peaked.

Let's go!

I remember the last time I had to take a hill like this.

Why are we out here?

Nothin' like Texas...

Nothin'.

Is that woman gonna shut us down?

She's a member of the State board.

They've already passed a grant to renovate our facility.

Why don't we have pizza and movie night tonight?

Reggie, can we move it up?

Sir, good as great.

All right.

Yes, Leopold. You wanna share something with us?

What lies to the north beyond the river?

What do you care?

Past the river there's the Jenkins' farmland.

The cotton field and corn fields...

used to be an ancient Indian burial ground.

Before that, it was plains full of wild buffalo.

I think he's talking about

the physical characteristics of the land.

Well, there's a dense forest,

and there's the Jenkins' farmland.

Then there's another forest.

And beyond that forest?

A spring.

I didn't know there was a spring.

What's after that?

An untamed land.

An untamed land.

An untamed land.

-Got a minute? -Not now.

Rendezvous in 27 seconds.

Yeah.

I forgot about your big concert tonight.

Shut up.

Don't blow our cover.

We're being watched.

Nobody's watching us.

Yeah? Check out Hawkeye over there.

Easy.

No bite.

Cal seems onto us.

He has it out for you.

Anybody Corrina takes a liking to

he automatically targets.

Hold this.

Hey.

Hi.

Operation White Tiger is in effect.

It's now or never.

What's "White Tiger"?

No time to explain.

I'll give the green light at dinner.

This is the spot.

Remember this spot, Leopold.

This is where the pillowcases have to be buried.

Pillowcases?

Yeah, we need to fill them with food at dinner.

I'll take care of the rest.

Listen...

I've collected all the information we need.

Thanks, Corrina.

We're here, and we need to get there.

In between are obstacles of all sorts.

Big payoff is just past the river

at the Jenkins farm,

but we gotta make it past the dragon.

Dragon?

It's a hound.

Dragon.

Okay, good.

And since the drought,

we might be able to

-make the crossing here... -Dinner time!

...without trouble, but we gotta book it,

'cause the rains are comin'.

How do you know?

-I heard it on the radio. -Teddy bear.

Leopold, you do the talking.

Hey, what's goin' on, guys?

Here.

just...

picking wildflowers...

They're in bloom.

Want one? Yeah.

It's dinner time. Everybody inside.

Yeah. Come on, let's go.

Hey.

Hey, where's my milk?

I told Reggie to fill it last night.

Can't sleep without my milk.

Come on. I want warm milk, too.

Abort White Tiger.

Abort White Tiger. I repeat, abort White Tiger!

I put them there.

Double-crossing us?

Look, I figured it would save us the trouble

of finding 'em in the dark.

Improvising already.

Risky... but smart.

I found myself running once again.

This time... with company...

a plan, and where to...

no one could really be sure.

I just knew if we stayed behind...

it was a one-way trip to Northridge.

The water level's not that high.

A little muddy...

but not that bad.

I could do without the smell.

What a big crazy fucking world.

We're only here for a nanosecond

when you think about it.

Well, I cannot believe we're actually doing this.

We could always go back.

They wouldn't even know we left.

-It is too late. -No, no one is... going back.

Now is our chance to live free.

Free.

Free.

Francis...

If you could go anywhere in the world...

where would you go?

New York.

Broadway!

Let's do it. What about you, Corrina?

I...

I haven't figured out that one yet.

Well...

My mother...

she was a hell of a guitarist. She toured...

all over the world.

Told me about gettin' lost on the streets of Berlin...

seeing the lights in Paris...

getting fat on pasta and wine in Italy...

She was free as free can be.

I just wanna go where my music takes me.

I could be your song.

I'm gonna have to take a tinkle.

I'll see you guys in a little bit.

Do you think the stars are attached by strings...

and if we just... snip 'em, they would...

fall to the Earth?

I like that.

Wha... Shit! Kneel!

Jenkins' place.

We gotta go around. No other way.

Corrina, come on!

-There he is. -No!

Scurry. Go, go, go, go, go!

I think he's dozing.

Stay light on your feet.

You little bastards!

Come back again, I'll put your ass down!

Stay off of my fuckin' property!

I thought you said there was a hound!

-Slight miscalculation! -God!

Blow your god damn head off!

Francis, you fucking idiot!

It was a mistake! I-I-I...

We're getting shot at back here!

You're gonna get us killed!

I never make a mistake!

Yes, you do!

Never!

What are you talking about?!

You know, that map of yours almost got us killed.

Almost... but not quite.

Not quite?

Told you to make it good.

There are a lot of things wrong in this world, Leopold...

including me.

But this map...

This map is right, I'm sure of it.

Let me see this map.

It seems wrong.

Well, according to this map,

which is right...

we're close.

Hey, guys!

Look what I found.

And then... it hit me.

There we were...

our own little family...

living in the moment.

It felt like we were startin' our lives from scratch.

All the bad, forgotten...

free from our past...

even for a little while.

It all seemed so perfect...

but so fragile.

Boys!

Look!

My God!

I've never seen such a place.

That's quite a drop.

Yeah.

Look at that.

Corrina, look at that.

It's beautiful.

One summer...

I don't remember where...

I was really little and my dad lifted me up.

We went flying.

And then the water hits you.

It felt like an eternity.

You know that feeling when...

your heart stops?

Freedom.

When I was a kid...

my mother left for good.

Where is she now?

She's gone.

I just haven't felt anything...

since my mother died.

And now?

It's different.

Corrina!

Corrina!

Corrina!

Frank, we fucked up, man!

We're gonna get you outta here.

You're gonna be okay.

We're gonna get you out of here.

It's my fault.

A truck!

I'm sorry.

Deece...

Deece!

Hello.

Deece, it's Pete.

The State's takin' action.

Your boys are headed to Northridge.

Listen, small hospitals just can't cut it anymore.

When?

In the morning.

Got word today.

You can still make good.

It's the only way to get back what's yours.

Deece?

Hey! You listenin'?

Deece?

Hey, Deece!

Corrina!

Corrina!

Corrina!

No! Get the fuck off me!

Cal!

Cal!

No!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

No! No!

Please, God!

God damn it!

No! No!

-Cal! -No!

Wake up! No!

No! He's bleeding to death! God damn it!

I tried to have you in long life.

Your mother died behind closed doors.

No witnesses.

You try to think of her music,

but the screams creep into your mind...

so you run...

but the pain follows you everywhere.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

The lights blind you.

You lose your way, your voice, muted.

Fuck! Fuck!

You plead with God...

just once to make it right.

You want to hit me, don't you?

I wanna hit everything.

Fine.

Go ahead. Hit me.

Come on.

Show me what you got.

Come on, fuck me up!

Feels good, doesn't it?

If you use a crutch too often...

it becomes a prison of another kind.

When you first came here,

you asked me how it feels to kill.

War has a way of exposing demons...

deep down inside you that you'd rather not have exposed.

But I dealt with my demons head on...

in a room like this one.

They were all kneeling...

in a row.

Their faces will always be with me.

I looked into their eyes...

They're still searching. They're still hoping.

They're still asking why.

Why?

Hate...

is horribly destructive.

Hate takes over when reason fades away.

Hate shows itself in violence and abuse,

and the pain of that violence and abuse

only intensifies the hate

'til all you wanna do is strike out at something!

Everything!

I started this place to be close to my son.

I opened my doors...

to help others who were like Cal.

I thought...

this is a good way to keep him close to me...

so I could protect him from the outside world.

Well now,

I've done all I can do...

and I'm tired.

So tired.

We all need help.

Dr. Warren?

Everything okay?

Reggie...

I need you to get everyone out of the house, now.

Deece, what... What's goin' on?

I said now!

Everyone out!

Right away, Dr. Warren.

Give me strength, Father!

I don't wanna go like this!

Leo-Leopold, stop. It's burning.

Everybody out now. Get Corrina.

-Corrina? -Leopold, get out, man.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no.

Where's Corrina?

Leo, I'll get her. All right?

I need you to get out right now.

All right? Cassandra! Sandra...

Corrina!

Corrina, open the door!

Hi.

I thought I killed you.

Who'd kill me?

Dr. Warren!

Reggie...

thanks for your service.

It's a pleasure, sir.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

-What? -I'll be right back.

Hey!

Corrina, get down. Get down.

Stay there.

Okay.

Yeah, let's go.

Come on.

"We all need help," Deece said to me...

and I knew he was right.

Milton Way went up in flames

and was never again.

After his son's death,

there wasn't much there for him.

Maybe we were Deece's family.

We just didn't realize it.

And that's how our journey began...

to the untamed land.

We escaped...

but that's not what made us free.

I feel something for the first time

in a long while.

I got this warm feelin' in my heart...

the kind of feeling you get after a crazy dream...

with a happy ending.

I don't wanna let this feeling go.

When I was ready to give up...

life wouldn't let me.

Guess it figured I wasn't done just yet.

Destiny came knockin'...

loud.

And it all happened right here...

on this very rock that we breathe on.

Mama would be proud.

I'll never forget Deece,

Cal and the whole lot of them.

They will be the song when I need to remember.
