Original subtitles

So who says fairy tales can't be real?

They've got to come from somewhere.

It can't all be made up lies.

Why can't it be a trolls lair?

It could be some sort of

hide out for like bad guys.

I'm telling you, it's a troll.

I've got books.

This stuff goes way back.

Trolls come from like old north

mythology and stuff.

They feed on what you're

scared of the most.

The more scared you are the bigger,

the meaner and trollier he is.

And they love gold, ok, trolls love gold

more than anything.

You could pay them off with gold.

It's their only real weakness.

What if you're just not afraid of them?

We could camp out over there some time.

You couldn't even spend the night in

the tent last night.

Shut up.

I told you I got my feet wet, ok?

How are you going to spend the night

in the cave when you couldn't even

spend it in a tent?

You'll go home crying to your girlfriend,

like a little baby.

Shut up.

We should get her to come next time.

She can hold your hand when you

get over there.

Frig off, Ricky, frig off.

Do you know what?

You're such a weirdo.

That's what everybody says

and it's true.

Hey.

Help, help.

Help, help.

Grab on. Grab on.

Grab it. Grab it.

Help.

Come on.

I got you.

Jude help.

Jude.

Jude!

I'm going to be sick.

You're not going to be sick.

Shut up.

Let me see it.

I'm going to be sick.

You're not going to be sick.

You're not going to die.

Come on.

Shut up.

Listen, you fell, ok, you fell.

Ricky, I used the rope.

I hauled you up over the cliff

I saved your ass down there, man.

You would have died.

You would have drown.

Pop.

Hey.

Poppy.

I saved you.

My ankle, pop.

I saved you.

Pop, my ankle, pop.

I saved him down there.

I pulled him up over the whole cliff.

I dragged him up.

What happened, sweetheart?

My ankle. My ankle.

Jesus.

He fell down.

I found him there half dead.

Is there something wrong with you,

you little savage.

I found him near dead.

I saw you hitting him.

I never, I saved him.

You're a liar.

Every word that comes out of your mouth.

I'm the one who saved him.

Pop, pop.

Ricky, you tell him, I saved you.

Poppy got you now.

Where you been?

Where you been, you little shit?

Come here, Bruno, come here.

Get in.

Your buddy Ricky broke his foot or

his leg or something?

Yeah he, he fell.

Clarence say anything to ya?

No.

Where'd these come from, by the way?

Don't make me ask twice.

I found them.

You stole them, you mean?

You can't get caught with them,

you knows that, don't ya?

If ever you do have to use them,

you got to get rid of them right away.

I know.

Take it.

How much is there?

An ounce.

Yeah so what's it worth?

Uh.

110. 110.

Good man.

Uh, Jesus Christ.

Get in the truck. Get in the truck.

I'm telling you old man, its easy,

the whole crowd is going out to Florida

to some wedding and she's looking

after the shop while they're gone, right?

So we can get a key made up.

I mean it's not even breaking and entering.

Just entering or what not.

A little bit of business here and your money.

There's $110 here.

I said $120.

Hey man, 10 bucks, b'ye.

Why do you got to be so crooked about it?

I'm sorry.

Useless.

Walk up the steps.

I mean how hard is that?

See if I'm busted out past curfew.

See who's fucked then.

There ain't noone else stupid enough

or foolish enough take the likes of you,

I can guarantee you that.

You smarten up man, stop being such

a goddamn punk,

going around with this dazed

look on your face,

talk about ghosts and strangers in cars,

reading books.

Get that bag under the seat.

Get the bag under the seat.

Now they turns around, I'm dropping you off

and you run into the woods with that bag.

Got it?

Can you manage that?

God almighty.

She probably has nowhere else to go.

A couple reportedly has a close encounter

with something not of this earth.

Leave this on.

Not bad enough.

Next thing you know you'll be coming home

after seeing lights in the sky.

They stop the car.

Remember when mom got sick?

She stopped eating.

Remember how cranky she got?

It doesn't matter what I think.

I think the sun shines out of your ass

no matter what you do.

I'm just afraid you're going to get hurt.

I won't.

Why do you think these guys asked you

to do it in the first place?

I don't really care.

You don't really care.

I'm not doing it for them.

Yeah it's your birthday.

Some kind of arsehole I am, now aren't I?

Who's it from, you think?

Some other arsehole, I'm sure.

It's probably poison.

Chocolate poison.

Two things happened on this day,

you know, two things.

But you don't know.

Doesn't taste like poison either.

What did we say about hunting

in public?

Somebody could have seen you.

Oh.

Jim, you promised.

I love thee, Ennis.

Sit down.

For a friend.

My lungs burned.

My hearts pounding desperately.

My mind was shutting down from

the lack of oxygen.

As I faded out a deadly weariness

took the place of terror.

I floated weightless as the floor and walls

and ceiling all spun wildly around me.

Why should I resist?

Just let it all end, here, now.

It's such a horror fell into the

monstrous black hole.

Mark it down to Angus.

You have the face and eyes

of your mother.

Anybody ever tell you that?

And bologna, 1/2 pound.

Your father's tab is getting

up there again.

You ready?

Whoa!

Are you talking to Ricky after?

I thought he was coming?

Ricky who?

Ricky who shit don't stink just

because his pop bought him

some ugly hens?

He's too good for me now.

I wanted to show him the new house.

I don't know.

So did you ever hear any stories

about the house?

The old lady, she cut off all

her fingers with the lawn mower.

Don't tell me you never heard that.

The lawnmower jammed.

She stuck her hand in to get some grass.

I guess she forgot to kill the engine.

Sliced her fingers off.

And they found all of them except one.

They never found it but I did.

What?

I have it here.

Really?

Can I?

Can I see it?

I'll show it to you but you have to

promise not to tell.

Yeah.

Your honor, at this time

the defense is not prepared to

enter a plea.

We'd like to request a postponement

at the court's discretion.

Why are you not ready to plea?

Mr. Traynor is the soul caregiver

to his 13 year old son, Jude.

The defense needs more time to go over

our options in consideration to

the boy's best interest.

Where is the boy's mother?

Deceased, your honor.

Very well.

We can reschedule six weeks from today's date.

The defendant's conditions are

to remain in place until that time.

Mr. Traynor is hereby ordered to.

Have I got something on

belong to you?

How are you making out today?

Great.

I want to get a dozen eggs off you.

Ok that will be $3.

Three dollars?

Yep.

Here you go.

Are you selling many of them or what?

Oh yeah, tons.

That's the main thing.

I hope you does good today and

you sell them all.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Those hens are ugly.

Selling eggs.

Stupid.

Oh me leg.

Oh me leg.

Oh.

Better not let pop find you here.

He'll have to catch me first,

won't he?

I know I'm just sayin.

My mom's not in Montreal, you know.

She's dead.

But who cares, right?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, get away.

Hey, no, no, no.

Get me out!

AH!

Well if your belly starts acting up

because of those apples,

I could probably sort you out.

I guess you knows where I live.

Bruno.

Bruno, hey.

I hope you like seagull stew,

young fellow.

Do you know who I am?

I'm Alfreda Jacks.

And you're Jude Traynor, young Angus's boy.

I don't get much company these days.

But I could use some yard work,

if you could use the dollars.

What?

What are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

What do you want?

Have I got something on belong to you?

Have I got something on belong to you, huh?

What are you looking at?

What?

You're looking at me.

Oh, you're looking at me.

Don't cry, tough guy.

Cat can look at the queen, no?

Where'd they come from?

Cupboard.

Cupboard, yeah, the cupboard.

Is there beans and wieners bush growing

in the cupboard, is there?

Is there a fucking beans and wieners bush

growing in the cupboard?

No, they came from the shop.

The shop.

They came from the shop.

They came from the shop.

Just like 32 bucks worth of chips

and bars and drinks and buns,

all marked down in my name.

You're starting to sprout right up,

ain't you, huh, yeah, yeah?

I tell you what, you're going to

have to get some size before you start

calling any shots around here,

you got that?

Got it?

Yes.

Fucking got it?

I can't go down to the fucking harbor

without fucking showing me face and

[angry yelling, cracks of the belt and screams of pain]

Who sticks their hands

underneath the lawnmower?

What was she, stupid?

No, it was jammed.

I told you, that's how it happened,

she stuck her fingers in there.

What a dummy.

I think she was pretty old.

There are no bones in this yard guys.

You're never gonna find any.

Hey man, tell Nancy about

that big bearded guy in the woods.

Shut up, Ricky.

What guy?

Jude got put in a garbage bag.

Screw off, Ricky.

Hey man, what's your...

Stop.

It was a frigging joke, relax.

I got it.

I found it!

I told you.

It's a chicken bone, Ricky.

What are you talking about?

It's a finger.

Ricky, look at my finger,

see how it has three parts?

That's just one long bone.

You're a moron.

Sorry man.

Whatever.

I found it!

Oh my golly gee shucks.

It's your turn.

Imagine if everybody, like,

actually took expressions literally?

So, shit's gonna hit the fan, like.

We should play for money.

You want to?

Yeah.

Ricky, you got lots of money.

Yeah right.

Pop says if I save $300 he's going to

double it and get me a dirt bike.

I love dirt bikes.

Will you take me for a ride?

Maybe.

How are you going to change gears

when your foot's in a cast?

Your pops full of shit.

At least he's not

in and out of jail.

Shut up.

Oh shit.

What?

It's my mom.

I'm not allowed to have boys in.

What?

Move!

Move it!

Out through the back.

Jude!

What?

Nancy?

Just a sec!

Are you home?

Were you smoking in here?

Smoking?

No.

I know a cigarette when I smell it.

Jude!

I lit up the stove.

There might have been some butts

in there or something.

Angus.

Traynor!

Do you know where

your father is?

What about last night, do you know where

he was last night?

He's on curfew.

So.

So it means he was in the house all

last night, obviously.

You're as good as they say at it,

you know that?

Telling lies, you're famous for it,

aren't ya?

You needs a warrant to go in there.

What I need is for you to tell me

the truth when I ask for it.

You know what?

There's a great big world out there

beyond these woods.

There's a woman in town,

she looks after young fellows

like yourself, big Sherry,

they calls her.

Hello, Angus, your buddy,

Randy in Tors Cove wasn't long

giving up your name.

No idea what you're talking about.

No?

What about the Quick Way down

in Mobile?

That ring a bell?

Somebody cleaned it out last night.

I was home in me own house all night.

Yeah that's what your boy just told me.

So what about Angus now?

Is he...

Yeah he's out on the Draggers.

He got called in this morning.

He told you your mother was

in Montreal?

Nobody ever told you any

different all this time?

What did you think she was doing

in Montreal?

I don't know.

She could have been like a teacher

or something.

What do you think she was teaching?

Language, the English language,

so she could like help French people

talk better, like more normal.

Oh that's a job, that's a tough job.

I bet your mother would have been good at it.

Yeah.

People says you don't go to church

because you're a witch or something.

A witch?

I suppose that's true some days.

I never had much notion for

church and prayers and the like.

And then after my little girl died

I suppose I had even less.

What happened to her?

Maybe the troll got her.

A troll?

I should hope not.

Why?

Do you see many trolls around here, Jude?

I don't know, maybe.

Well no troll got my little girl,

I can tell you that much.

Trolls got no appetite for good children,

children that does what they're told.

I heard you could pay them off with gold.

You could pay me off with gold if you got it.

That way maybe I won't make soup out of you.

That wasn't too bad, hey?

Clubs.

Nancy, hey Nancy.

Nancy, don't go down there.

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, stop.

Don't go in there.

Nancy, Nancy wait, don't go that way.

Nancy, Nancy.

AH!

I found this in the porch.

You I assume?

You painted it?

That's interesting.

It's beautiful.

Looking for young Trayner.

You seen him anywhere?

I don't know if I've seen him or

if I haven't.

I know he's a good boy.

Things are a little bit messy

for him right now.

Messy, yeah, that's a word for it.

Just let the dust settle and get a

bit of routine and some responsibility

and he'll be fine.

Listen I'm not here to get anyone but

that boy needs something a lot more

stable than what Angus got him into.

I know what the boys been through.

He's fine for now.

Just let him settle.

You might be surprised.

Yeah I'm sure he's full of surprises.

What is it they say about the hand that feeds?

Foster care is not a punishment

ya know.

There's a lot of good homes out there

with good stable families.

Maybe that's what the boy needs

for a while, get out of

these woods.

Think about it.

You can stay here as long as you like

but you've got to do what I say.

No more stealing, not from this house,

not from anywhere.

You hear me?

This island is very singular one.

It consists of little else than

the sea sand and it is about

three miles long.

It is separated from the mainland

by a scarcely perceptible creek.

Jude, is there something on your mind?

You want me to read something else?

Did you know my mom?

Yes, I did.

I knew your mom.

What was she like?

She was beautiful.

Yeah she was a really pretty lady.

I think I've got a picture of her

here somewhere.

Can I see the picture?

Oh now Jude, now look I don't

know where it is this hour of the evening.

It could be anywhere.

Well what was she like though?

She was funny.

Yeah she was always laughing

and carrying on.

She was kind.

She was good.

Yeah she was just good.

How did she die?

Well she died when you were really,

really little and I don't remember

all the details.

I'll have a look for that old picture tomorrow.

Now if you want me to read this,

do you want me to finish?

So what's this I hear about a dance?

There's a poster down at the shop.

Oh it's some dance.

They have one every year.

Oh, a band?

They play tapes.

Tapes, oh.

What's it all coming to?

Yeah I know I set that one

too high.

Well you set the next few.

I never had much luck on this bend.

I got one.

Well, well, well, is that your

first rabbit?

Yeah.

Good job you.

Good job yourself.

I left a bit of money on your

night table there, did you get it?

I didn't know what for?

Only after slaving for three weeks in the yard,

I thought you might want to take your

girlfriend to the dance.

Oh I knew it.

Hey Jude.

Hey.

What's up? How ya been?

Good.

What you been doing?

Not much.

Going to the dance down the shore.

Labor Day weekend?

I don't know.

I might, probably.

There's a bus that will

take you down.

It will take you back too.

Got some girls from the Goulds down there.

They'll do anything.

Whatdya at, you little weirdo?

You're lucky you're such a tough guy.

You're a fucking little psychopath.

That's what I heard.

Back off man.

You're the little kid that pushed my

cousin down over the cliff.

I didn't touch him.

I saved him.

Come on then, man.

Come on.

If you want to do something,

let's do something.

Come on.

Hit him, hit him!

Hit him then if you're a

tough guy.

You alright buddy?

Come on, get up.

Where is he?

Open this door, Jude Traynor,

right now.

He started it.

He's older than me.

Yeah but he wasn't trying to kill you,

was he?

Yeah, I mean.

What's this I hear about you pushing

some kid over a cliff?

I saved his life. I saved his life.

Listen Jude, I'm not the

bad guy here, ok?

I don't think you're a bad guy either.

But I can't have you running around these

woods like a wild animal.

Now I'm not going to bring you to jail

and I'm not going to bring you to an

orphanage but I've got to bring you somewhere.

Hang on, stay there.

Hey, hey.

Hey he's getting away.

Hold on, I'm not done

with you yet.

St. Jude.

This was your mothers.

How many trolls you think you

could buy off with this, now Jude?

I wonder.

You can have that now when you're ready.

I'll just hold on to it for a little while yet.

Here it is.

There's your mother and there's you

in her belly.

I told you she was beautiful.

How did she die?

Well your mother...

There was a storm, there was a big

freak summer storm.

The bridge in LeManche collapsed.

Power was out all over so the ambulance

couldn't get through and Angus

brought her here.

And your mother, well...

She was too tiny.

And well she died.

That was it.

There's no big mystery.

So then I killed her?

Oh my God, oh no, no, no.

Oh Jude no.

Sometimes there's complications.

Wouldn't matter if you were in the

best hospital in the world, no, no.

No, no, it's nobody's fault.

Why did Angus bring her to you?

People used to come to me for

that sort of thing all the time

but they don't anymore.

Jude, come on.

Don't look at her.

She's done enough damage to this family

for one lifetime.

You think he needs you?

You think he can't look after hisself?

He's a good sight better at it

than you are.

You stay away from him.

I'll do us all a favor and put you

in the fucking ground.

You hear me?

Did you get out on good behavior, Angus?

Or did they happen to find some

use for you?

Go to fuck, you old drunk.

Come on, you.

It's all we needs now is her filling

your head with more fucking garbage.

I'll tell you all she knows

how to do is fuck up people's lives.

House is a shambles.

Bruno.

No power or nothing.

The door swinging.

Bruno.

Ya shut it.

I come home to a letter from

that Child Youth Welfare crowd.

You want to go into an orphanage,

huh, into a foster home, some foster daddy

with his hands down your pants

in the middle of the night?

No.

No, well smarten up then.

I can't do everything

on me own.

See you never moved that stash did you,

by the shed?

No, yeah, they robbed that too,

$500 worth of weed.

No warrant or nothing, cunts.

Not a word, you hear me?

Not a word.

I heard you got a lucky break there Angus.

I guess everything's back to normal now.

Business as usual, hey Jude?

You must be real proud of this one, Angus.

He busted up another kid's head

real bad the other night.

Used a set of brass knuckles,

I heard.

You taught him real well.

We haven't found the weapon in question,

not yet anyway.

It's just a matter of time really,

like everything else.

Father and son reunited,

how precious is that?

A masked man walks in, right,

busts on in through the door.

Fucking mask on, gun in his hand,

Missus behind the counter says ah,

behind the counter like that, right?

He looks and says, open the fuckin' vault!

She goes like this, and she turns around

and says, sir this is not,

this is not a real bank.

This is a sperm bank.

He says, open up the vault!

She opens up the vault and

there's these little viles of

sperm and he says, take one out,

take one out!

As he puts the gun to her fuckin' head.

Take one out.

Tip it back.

Drink it!

He says, Swallow it!

Swallow it!

She swallows it back like that

he hauls off the mask and here's her husband.

He says "now was that so fucking hard?"

You don't find that funny?

That was pretty good.

You don't get it.

I took about an ounce from

each of mom's bottles.

She'll never notice anyway.

You don't have to drink it, Jude,

if it's too much.

No it's just the, I like it.

It's just different.

There's Vodka, if you'd rather.

Hey.

Hey.

Want to see my bedroom?

Uh...

You can come closer.

How are you?

Take your shirt off.

Come on.

Ah.

Ah!

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

I need to go.

Jude, we're only fooling around.

I brought something for you.

Jude, Jude.

Bruno.

Bruno.

Bruno,

Bruno.

Bruno.

He'll come back, probably got himself

a little girlfriend.

You know there's people who are

saying you beat up a kid at the store

the other day.

Whether it's true or not,

that's what they're saying.

That's what they expects of you now.

Maybe it was something else.

Come off it, Jude.

What else was it?

Was it a monster?

Was it a troll?

Maybe it was the crazy old witch

up in the hill.

Maybe I done it?

Yeah maybe you did.

Just because something isn't supposed to be

true doesn't mean it can't be.

Jude, people are starting to think

you're strange and you're not giving

them very much reason to

think otherwise.

Maybe that's because I'm living up in

the woods with an old hag all the time.

Did you ever think of that?

God.

Ow!

Oh my god.

I'm sorry!

It was an accident.

I don't care if it was an accident.

Why are you throwing stuff?

Are you stupid?

I was just playing around.

I'm bleeding.

Listen, I'm sorry about the other night.

I didn't mean to scare you.

How bout I throw rocks at you.

How do you like it?

Stop it.

I brought something for you.

I don't care.

You're scaring me.

Jude, stop it.

Get away from me.

Stay away from me.

No, stop, it was an accident.

It was an accident.

No, No. No.

No!

Nancy, Nancy, wait, come on.

Stay away from me.

Nancy, wait.

Nancy!

Nancy!

Nancy wait!

What are you at down there?

I'm just...

Come up, I want ya.

Could you give me a minute?

Get up over them stairs.

Get up over them stairs!

What happened to your head?

What, a rock, a rock.

You going to this dance down the

shore or what?

I was gonna.

Yes you are.

What kind of a young fella don't

want to go to a dance?

People think you're some kind of

a fruit cake.

You want that?

No.

Well you're going because I

needs you to go. So hurry up

and get ready.

Here Hash, look.

It's already done up in grams

and everything, look.

Same deal.

Don't lose it.

Don't get caught with it.

And if you do get caught with it,

don't mention my fucking name.

Hey, listen up you little snot.

Listen up you little snot.

You bring home every penny of what

that's worth or I'll cleave you open, ok?

I've got nothing no more, alright?

Alright?

Alright.

Come down, I want ya.

Where'd you get this?

Alfreda.

And what she'd say anything to ya?

Just how she died and she told me

that she tried to help.

Jude, she cut your mother's guts open

with a big pair of scissors.

Your mother bled out in less than an hour.

So fuck her and anything else she

tells you because it's nothing but bullshit.

Stay clear of her.

Now go on and get down to the

shore before that dance starts.

Hey Jude.

Hey.

Hey man, someone told me

you had some weed.

Hash.

How much?

How much you looking for?

I'll tell you what?

I'm going to go round up some money.

You want to meet out back say

in 10 minutes?

Alright.

Hey buddy, what's happening?

Where you been?

You coming inside?

That Rachel what's her face,

she's inside drunk.

You seen Nancy around anywhere?

Yeah she called earlier.

She said she wasn't coming.

Yeah, ah, she say anything to you?

Why?

Nothing.

Go in now.

I'll meet you in there.

Cool man.

I'll see you inside.

They close the doors at 8:00.

Heard you got some Hash for us.

Where do you think you're going?

You think you can get away with this?

Please, no, no, I need that.

What do we got here?

I need that, please.

Take that.

That's ours.

You little weirdo.

Jude, Jude, Jude, holy shit.

What happened?

The dance is over.

I thought you went home.

Did you see Nancy?

That's the bus.

Oh my God, the bus is gone.

Shit, did you see your face?

No.

You were selling hash

for your father?

No, I mean, no you,

shut up, you can't say that.

That's messed up, Jude.

I know it's messed up.

That's why I'm so screwed.

I can't go home with nothing.

He's going to kill me.

It's ok man.

He's not going to kill you.

Everything is fucked up.

You can stay at my house but my pop.

Hell with your pop, I'd sooner sleep

in a ditch.

I don't know where I'm going to go.

Jude, did something happen to Nancy?

Hello?

Is someone there?

Take it, you can have it.

Come on, take it.

Jude, are you robbing me now?

Give me that.

You're not ready.

You don't understand.

No, stop.

Help me, Jude.

Stop.

Jude, help me up, Jude.

I told you, no, no, no.

Jude, what the fuck you doing?

Get away from her.

I warned you old woman to stay clear of him,

didn't I?

No.

Come here.

No, no, no!

No, no, no!
