In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would...

My name is Ephraim Banu.

This is my record.

It was summer of 2024.

The little girl on the merry-go-round.

She was my first.

Her tricycle had fallen over.

The wheels were spinning.

In time, everyone saw the Entities.

These ghosts that feed on our fears.

The dead move among the survivors now,

appearing when we are afraid.

Fear is the enemy.

It is constant.

We call them companions.

We heard of the survivors on the isle of bodega.

Tomorrow we begin our journey there.

It gives my wife something to hope for.

She is desperate for safety.

I told you to tie him to a tree.

He can hear better than both of us.

Oh, come on.

You know you like him.

He makes noise.

It's like they vanished.

Oh, don't start.

It's like the house is watching.

You're doing it on purpose.

Oh, this place is loaded!

I'll check the barn.

It's like being in a hurricane.

Gus Grace, I don't know how you've kept us

alive for this long.

You are amazing.

It's my, uh, keen sense of judgment.

Excellent choice in travelling companions

but she needs to start listening.

Yeah, we'll see how you feel when I'm running

from your companion.

Oh, I would so haunt you.

Ella, Ella, look

out here I'm more worried about survivors

than companions, okay.

Okay, okay, we're like 20 miles from the main road.

We're 4 miles from the main road.

I ran why you studied.

I think I know how far 20 miles are.

Really?

Okay, I have a better idea of how far 4 miles are but still.

I need to go out there.

Wait.

I can't have anything else to worry about right now, okay?

Just stay here.

Watch for Buster.

We need to...

Oh, water!

Really?

That was louder than I thought it was gonna be, I'm sorry.

I'm just really thirsty.

Can I please?

Damn it!

Shit!

Is that all you got?

Ella!

Is that your box?

Yeah.

I'm collecting things to trade at Bodega like you told me.

Good, we're leaving.

You said one night.

No, I didn't.

- You did! - Now, Ella.

No!

No, not now.

I'm not your fucking dog.

An egg beater.

Tampons...

...and aluminum foil.

We're rich.

Well, it's all on the list of the top 100 things

to disappear first.

How do you know that?

I don't know.

We have a fortune in lanterna mantles.

Did you see something?

Did you?

- A woman. - A woman?

I... I don't know, Ella.

Her companion maybe?

Okay, well companions are drawn to fear right?

So, as long as we don't get afraid they don't come.

Besides they don't go very far from where they died anyways.

It's like she's stuck in there.

I mean, Jesus Ella, what if somebody died here.

And what if companions have nothing to do with death.

I need a break.

Okay, one night.

Look, I don't want you go anywhere near that barn

or in that field or by that car.

There is something in there.

- I won't. - I mean it.

I won't Gus, I promise.

Besides, companions can't even touch us so...

No, not companions, survivors!

Ella, something happened here, okay.

The war was 3 years ago.

I doubt it happened yesterday.

Get in the tub.

What?

It's my watch.

So, no sex for you.

Get in the tub.

Join us.

The isle of Bodega is a barrier island just off the coast

of the town of Bodega.

400 miles south of Houston.

We have laws, food and children.

Wonderful children.

Your boyfriend is on the radio.

I hope that wasn't your dog.

Oh.

You know...

...we take life for granted.

Because that's the way it's given.

Easy.

People are changing, son.

All around but it mostly goes unnoticed.

Take your lady for example.

I doubt she'll ever be the same.

I'm a doctor.

I'm a doctor, okay.

I can...

Well, now that's bad luck because Matty here

got his jaw broke.

No, no, no, no.

Have you seen an awful angry fella running around here, huh?

Goes by the name of Abner.

Please stop, I can fix your wounds.

Don't hurt my wife.

Son, nothing happens in this world

that ain't absolutely necessary.

Tonight, you're witness to a miracle.

We have seen things.

Things that are hard to understand.

Buster!

Uh, ma'am.

I'm a preacher.

There's something in here.

Don't be afraid.

Open the door.

What's uh...

What's psalm 23.

Oh, that's smart see, a bible verse.

Now, I like that.

There's a companion.

The lord is my shepherd.

Now that's old testament.

Now, personally, my favorite is psalm 46.

Be still and know that I am God.

We can bring this world back together.

The isle of Bodega, huh.

Why we're heading there ourselves.

Now don't that just sound like palm trees and coconuts.

Hell of a place to start a ministry.

You're looking for a savior.

Let me show you mine.

Gus!

Oh, my God.

No.

- We have to hide. - No! No!

- We have to hide. - No!

- No! - We have to hide.

No, I'll die in there.

Stop!

Gus.

Run, run, run into the forest.

I'm not, no.

He's going to hurt you!

No, no, no!

It don't look like you're gonna make it, son.

That's a shame.

Broken men make the best soldiers.

Is she alive?

When given the option,

man always reverts back to his most bestial character.

I believe she's beginning to understand that.

Fuck you!

People are savages nowadays, I know.

But now is the time to do something about that.

Let her go, please.

Faith binds us together like a fabric.

I'm building an army and fear is going to drive them

right to it.

She's not safe in there.

Oh, you gotta let her go.

Let her go.

Hope is the only thing a savage man suffers.

Hey look at me.

You know that fella on the radio?

Well, everyone's heading to his commune

so we're gonna take it.

We're gonna start building the world back the way

that it should be.

Honestly, now that those two are in there

taking turns with your wife...

...how can you think of anything other than violence?

You son of a bitch!

No, no, no, no!

You failed.

Timely preparation for future eventualities.

That's the definition of Providence.

Fuck you.

You failed.

Fuck you!

Fuck you.

I failed too.

And I'm gonna kill that fucking preacher for it.

He got away but I know where he's going.

Stop looking at me.

That man out there with you?

Stop looking at me!

He's gonna die.

He's been gutted.

That's weeks of agony until it ends you.

Now, there's a time for fighting

and this is a time for mercy.

It'll be easier coming from you.

Lady...

...this world don't remembre a damn thing...

...one moment to the next.

You wanna survive...

...you don't either.

Well, I am not going with you!

Gus?

Gus, hey.

Protect yourself.

No, Gus.

I can't.

I got enough regret.

What do you want?

She can come with me.

My wife?

She's gonna die out here.

No, no tell him.

Tell him, Gus.

Tell him.

You wanna take my wife with you?

It ain't right just leaving her.

- Shit like that... - You stay away from me.

It'll be worse for you.

They'll be other survivors.

Take care of my wife.

Take both of us.

Take us both.

We can help you find the preacher.

The preacher's the last of them.

Now I ain't taking a chance of losing him.

No he can make it.

I'm sorry but I ain't got time to watch your man die.

Come with me or be stuck here with his ghost.

Wait.

I've taken good care of her through all of this.

The companions.

The truth is...

...neither of us are cut out for this.

You know what I'm not cut out for?

Listening.

What are my intentions?

Do I plan on her keeping me warm at night?

Some men would.

Women I know wouldn't put up with that shit.

I can't imagine keeping a woman like that.

Too much damn effort.

That fella out there in the barn.

He done the same thing to my wife.

Preacher killed my son.

Revenge keeps me warm just fine.

When that starts festering you're gonna shit yourself.

Won't even be able to get out of the bed to do it.

Is that how you want you're lady remembering you?

Changing your fucking diapers.

- How do I know... - You don't.

And I ain't got all day.

You got your guy, why go after the preacher?

I ain't got nothing better to do.

I am not going with him and you can't make me.

He's right, Ella.

He's right.

Do you want me to go?

I'll be here.

Right here.

Baby, he's crazy.

When I was in the barn...

What? What?

Gus, Gus.

Wake up, Gus. Gus, wake up.

Gus, please wake up.

Gus, no!

You wanna say something?

I ain't looking at you.

I ain't spoke to nobody in months.

Hell I was never known for my conversation anyways.

You smoke? I got a carton...

Are you gonna hurt me?

I ain't got time to.

What kind of answer is that?

Honest.

I ain't gonna hurt you.

The preacher's injured.

I'm just trying to spot him.

God damn it!

I would have stopped.

You didn't bring nothing like I told you.

You expect me to fucking feed you?

My husband just died.

We gotta clean it out.

Give me the keys.

You know, my father was a cop.

The kind that likes for his daughter

to know how to shoot.

I couldn't have left you back there.

That ain't right.

Strip.

What?

Take off you're fucking clothes.

How does it feel?

I can't imagine.

I wouldn't wish that on nobody.

What are the handcuffs for?

I have to go places.

I get scared, all right?

I cuff myself to the damn bumper.

That way I have to face it.

The fear can't be used against me.

Teach me how to do that.

They're supposed to drain the tanks but they don't.

I got it.

It costs too much to dispose of.

Put it in your mouth and take a draw.

Put it in your mouth.

You gotta learn.

That's part of it.

I just left him there.

They ain't real.

People paint them so survivors will leave them alone.

What's gonna happen to him?

Is he gonna turn into a companion?

Sit down.

You're making me nervous.

No!

Look, you ain't got to be afraid of me.

What you're worrying about ain't a part of me at all.

You can't save everyone.

I thought you didn't want anymore regrets.

Run, run.

No, wait.

- No, she... - Stop...

Get out of the yard.

They can't go far from where they died.

Get in the truck.

It's okay.

You hear that?

Look at her.

Can't come out no further.

I saw her.

I saw it too.

Ain't no reason for them to be out here.

Don't try and figure them out.

Is she trying to talk to us?

Won't last.

We ain't afraid no more.

What is death?

Does it understand?

Time.

Is there a beginning and an end?

No, no, no.

What do you want?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Why are you still here?!

Say something!

She's gone.

Leave me alone!

Women, huh?

They'll fail you every time.

You ever shoot somebody?

Look, we're wasting bullets.

Hitting targets is more important than bullets.

You missed.

Well now you sound like Gus.

Don't blame me if you didn't stand up to your husband.

You know it's not that you're not known

for your conversation, it's...

No, go on, say it.

It's that what you have to say is useless.

I'm useless?

Don't!

Everyone left is survivors, Ella.

Ain't no room for victims.

You should have killed that man in the barn

for what he done to you.

You don't get to talk about that.

At least my family didn't ask me to leave.

Gus died fighting for me.

You sure about that?

Because I remember him telling me to go

and take you with me.

I'm gonna kill you.

I don't give a fuck.

Death's a joke.

The Lord's just waiting for us to find something that matters

so he can tell it.

Unique are the responsibilities of the wife.

One of which are helping her husband become

what he is intended to be.

I say let her go.

Hey, now.

I did not do that to you.

You attacked us.

You saw who I was with.

You can't control crazy.

Now I stayed clear of that barn.

I didn't lay a hand on her.

Now I could have split you open with that axe but I did not.

You're not the only person trying to survive around here.

So what?

You want me to be your soldier?

Oh son, I don't have soldiers.

I've got orders.

- Orders? - Yeah.

What you're saying all this is for someone else?

The man above.

There is something seriously wrong with you.

It's twisted and you know it.

Do you know how long it took us to come out of the dark ages?

The dark ages.

Thousands of years.

Now right now we are on the precipice

and we can either correct it or we can let people suffer.

Don't you see you're the one making people suffer?

Hold still.

Oh, what do you go there?

Sugar, all right it keeps the pH levels down.

Makes it hard for bactéria to grow.

Just trust me.

Who's the soldier now?

I'm only doing this because the guy that has my wife

won't stop until he kills you.

And you're gonna save her are you?

Yeah, I am.

A woman should never abandon her husband.

I made Ella go with him.

But you didn't want her to did you?

Yep, see now that's your fault.

A good woman does what she's told.

He told her I was going to die.

So she found somebody stronger.

Huh?

Oh.

You know, there is a serious, serious corruption

with that fella.

You can see it in his eyes.

He's like a rabid dog.

And you can bet that wherever she is right now,

Ella wishes that she was right back here with you

because there's just no telling what he's doing

to her right now.

Enough!

There, that'll hold you for a while.

Now, where we're going

we're going to need a vehicle so we'll probably have to take

one so I need to know.

What are you willing to do?

God, I miss the ocean.

Salt air, makes me want to fight.

I could make it if I was at the beach.

- Yeah? - I could.

I studied marine biology.

Stingrays were my specialty.

So stingrays are the key to survival.

I wish I had known.

- Save me some effort. - Hmm.

I know how to fish.

What else do I need?

A place to hide when the hurricanes come.

South Texas storms ain't too friendly.

I never wanted to live in Houston.

Gus wanted to.

It's not a bad spot for a doctor.

You know stingrays can see auras.

Yeah, they have these like, organs that can detect

electricity in nerves and muscles.

I was a... I was a welder.

That was my specialty.

I would have thought you were probably in the army

or something like that.

Hell, no.

My dad was army. Hated it.

My father could barely keep me out of the ocean.

You know when you're in the water

for too long and your fingers get wrinkly.

He would tell me it was because all the sunshine

had gotten washed off and I'd have to lie on the beach

to get it back.

I knew it.

You don't have an aura.

Come on.

We got shit to do.

I'm not sleeping out here.

I figured you'd be happy.

You want me to be your guard dog.

You ain't gotta worry about me cozying up

in the middle of the night.

You asked me to teach you.

You gotta get comfortable being alone out here

with your thoughts.

This is how you do it.

These shades keep your line of sight in the truck.

That way your mind don't wander.

Clean the gun over and over

and stay focused in here.

I'm just teaching you how to take care of yourself.

If nobody had done that for me I wouldn't know

how to do it neither.

I'm out in the open.

Yeah, they'll get you first.

Listen, in the dark listening is better than seeing.

If anything happens, drive.

It's 100 yards of road.

You can do it blind.

You got a gun.

You got a truck.

You got a straight path out of here.

It don't get no better than that.

Abner?

Abner?

Abner?

Where were you?

Abner, where were you?

Talking to my son.

It happens.

But his companion?

A memory.

I got history too.

I can't let it go.

Did you bury him?

Did you?

I want to bury mine.

We have to go back for Gus, please.

I mean, if you know where the preacher is then

then what does it matter?

There ain't nothing back there but misery.

There ain't nothing out here but misery.

If we don't at least try to fix

what went wrong then...

then what's the point.

Why continue?

If he's close we can just bury...

No.

We'll go fucking back.

Abner...

You're right, okay.

You're right.

We should have buried him.

We'll go back

and we ain't gotta talk about it no more.

I seen Ephraim once on the way to Bodega.

He's dangerous.

That's funny.

You calling somebody else dangerous.

I don't think that man believes in anything.

What's in Bodega?

I don't know.

The end of the rainbow.

I got close but then I came across Abner.

You're a fucking monster.

Maybe.

Even if you're right,

you can't just make people follow you.

It doesn't work that way.

I am well aware that people like me have got no place

once this is over.

I'll be a...

...dirty reminder.

They're gonna put me out to pasture.

Now death may be the meaning of life

but we alone are unique in that we can see the design.

The merit.

The merit of life, well that's what you put in to it.

What if you're wrong?

I'll go with misunderstanding.

It's a hell of a lot better than not listening.

Did you hear that Gus?

Fear, now that's the real fabric.

No, no, no!

He made me do it! He made me do it!

Have you ever seen somebody's companion?

Yeah.

Have you ever seen somebody's companion who's still alive?

Who?

Who?

Oh, come here.

I didn't come here to kill him.

I wouldn't do that to you.

Hell, I wouldn't do that to nobody.

I've been through this too.

We were isolated at my ranch for so long.

When the preacher showed up

I wanted to believe anything.

I was desperate for someone to tell us it's okay.

I let my guard down.

Well that's not your fault.

We wanted to believe it too.

I lied to you.

I don't know why.

I tell myself it's because you was dying alone out here

but it was me.

I'm dying alone out here.

I don't know where the preacher's going.

He's going to Bodega.

He told me.

I ain't going back to Bodega.

He's gonna kill Ephraim.

We have to save him.

It's 100 miles from here.

It'll take months.

What do you mean go back?

What do you mean go back?

My family's buried in Bodega.

It's where my ranch is.

What if Gus is alive?

We'll find help.

And if he's dying?

We wait.

If he's going to Bodega...

...I can get to fucking Bodega.

Thank you.

You know the preacher, he told me something.

He said that I was searching for a savior.

He was right.

God don't make saviors.

He makes survivors.

Gus?

Ella!

You said he was gonna die!

You said he was gonna die!

It's the preacher's collar.

Your husband might be alive.

You should be happy...

Gus was right, Ella.

It ain't safe here.

Is this what you want?

Get in the back.

You said you could beat them.

What are they getting stronger?

I'm getting weaker.

We have to get to Ephraim before the preacher.

How far is the isle of Bodega?

Then what's the point?

I don't know where it is

but if he's still alive I got a cousin in Bodega that would.

Hey, look what I found.

One for each of us.

You feeling all right?

I can cook.

I like to stay busy.

You ain't got a fever do you?

Don't! Don't fuss.

You can set the table.

Did you see it?

Did you?

I asked you first.

No, I ain't seen it.

No, thanks.

I already got me a good woman.

Hello, Merritt.

Abner?

Looking good.

Damn, I thought you was dead.

You seen the preacher around?

The way you tore out of here I thought you went after him.

Yeah.

Well he came back a few days ago.

Ephraim's people took care of him.

Hey baby, will you grab me and my cousin a couple beers?

Beer?

No wonder you look younger.

Well, they're hot but they still fizz good.

So they're on the isle of Bodega?

Ain't no such place.

There's patches of ground right off the coast.

Mostly salt grass.

Us fisherman used to take ladies out to one with the beach.

We call it the isle of Bodega.

Thank you, baby.

Airi, when we was in school we used to ask Merritt

why he put page numbers on his toilet paper.

Still ain't got a lick of damn sense.

So they could be here?

Are you looking for paradise?

From the radio?

Ephraim's out at your ranch.

Moved in right after you...

Well you know.

That forest is full of bones.

I don't know what they're doing out there

but that's where they take them.

What happened to the preacher?

They killed him.

But he was alone?

As far as I could tell.

You'll have to ask Ephraim.

Why don't they come after you?

I'm sick.

Why don't you all take him with you.

Just give him a chance, please.

Do you think the preacher killed him?

We'll find out in the morning.

Hey, look at me.

No.

Can you talk to me, please?

What's the matter?

It's awkward.

What being in bed together?

I don't want you being uncomfortable.

Deserted like the dwarves at dawn.

It's the hour of departure, oh deserted one.

Cold flowers are raining over my heart.

In you, the wars and the flights accumulated.

From you, the wings of songbirds rose.

How terrible my desire was to you.

How difficult and drunken

cemetery of kisses.

There's fire burning in your tombs.

The tenderness, light as water and flour.

The word scarcely begun on our lips.

He was my destiny,

and in it my Voyage of longing fell,

in you, everything sank.

That's Pablo Neruda.

I did it for the 2016 talent show.

It's longer but Gus, Gus he really liked it

but I performed it for my father.

I'll take that.

You're not my father.

He would have given up on me already.

I doubt that.

What do you think companions are?

I don't.

Liar.

Punishment.

Punishment for what?

Like I said. I don't.

God's left the building.

That's what I think.

And there's no one to keep score anymore.

He leveled the playing field.

Left us a reminder.

Do you trust him?

I ain't much for religion.

No, no, Merritt.

Do you trust Merritt?

You met him.

Yeah, but I hear talking.

- We're talking. - Okay, I hear whispering.

I left my gun on the kitchen counter.

God damn it, Ella.

You can't keep doing shit like this.

I'm sorry.

Sorry ain't good enough.

We're in this together.

You gotta start pulling...

You gotta start pulling your own damn weight.

I'm sorry.

My name is Ephraim Banu.

I'm speaking to you from the isle of Bodega.

I want you to know me.

The real me.

The anomalies continue.

Again we live in fear.

Angels must break their wings to learn how to fly again.

Airi, where's the gun?

I'm sorry, Abner.

I'm so sorry.

Who are you talking too?

The preacher.

I ain't gotta choice.

We're blood Merritt.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

She's sick, okay.

He's gonna help her.

You gotta wait.

They'll come quick.

Merritt, won't survive it, okay.

Give me the gun.

It's, okay. It's, okay.

Leave her alone.

It was me.

Abner, I ain't got the courage.

You know what he's gonna do to us.

Just put us out of our misery man.

How long?

How long until he gets here?

15 minutes.

Y'all got to get.

Ain't no use.

You got to go, Merritt!

I ain't gonna go without her.

Well, she ain't gonna make it!

I don't want to go on if she ain't with me.

I ain't killing you.

He died out there.

All them people.

There ain't no isle of Bodega.

They're all gone.

It was suicide.

They started to see things.

Themselves.

They saw themselves.

Only they was… they was dead.

If you got out there you'll see.

There ain't nothing.

Ephraim just made it up so everybody would come.

Is Ephraim dead? Is he?

Where is he?

Your ranch is gonna be full of companions, Abner.

There ain't nothing.

They're all gone.

Hell, you might even see yourself.

Let's get it.

You and me. How about it?

No.

I can fish too.

We can head further south, find ourselves a little beach,

a bar, drink it dry.

Eat sushi 'til we're sick.

Yeah that does sound nice.

You can swim with stingrays all damn day if you want.

I got it.

It can be good.

Better.

- It can be better... - No, I don't...

I don't believe you.

I think you'll leave me somewhere and come back.

I know you.

If you die out here it'll be...

Well, I don't want you to die either but I mean,

it don't change a damn thing.

Did I move you just a little?

I practiced that all the way down here.

No, not at all.

Give me my hat.

This one? This hat?

You know we're probably gonna die out here.

You want me to remember you this way?

Yeah, I do.

I mean besides, I have your hat.

I've got a gun.

I've got a straight path out of here.

It don't get much better than that.

You're really attached to this thing huh, okay...

Hey, hey, Abner.

This is me showing you I meant it.

I'll walk right out of here...

...taking you all the way to Mexico.

Stay put.

- Jacob? - Abner?

- Jacob? - Abner, don't leave me. Abner!

Jacob!

I am asking for forgiveness!

Not here.

You was a good boy.

Did what you were told.

You and your mama.

I am asking for forgiveness!

Jacob!

Stay down.

Jacob.

What have you taken from me, Ephraim?

My faith?

No...

...you've taken my certainty.

We're in the dark here!

We went back for you!

You left me there.

We went back for you!

You knew I was alive.

Did you see it in the barn?

You know what it means right?

You know what it means!

It's all been decided!

It's all over!

Nothing matters!

Well, shit son.

I tried.

You tried?

Every time I breathe in around you I am startled

by this cold wind that is entirely full of piss.

Take it.

They're all dead.

Is Ephraim dead?

I can't say for sure.

Abner!

That woman ground you in to dirt.

I have to bring her back.

Tell you what.

I'll save her for you.

That's right.

You already told me how this ends.

This will be interesting.

Abner.

Abner!

Hey...

...we can get to phraim.

Okay, Abner?

Abner, I need you.

I should have stayed with her.

- Give me my gun. - No, no, hey, hey.

You don't need it anymore.

Don't you see him?

You can go with him.

You can... You can go.

You're gonna be all right, Ella.

Don't let that Sunshine get washed away again.

Okay.

Abner?

Abner?

We find ourselves in the end, no great mystery.

We are the companions.

It's haunted.

Oh, God!

That tape rewinds itself.

I listened to all of it.

It's a confession.

All those pour souls were ledhere on the confession

of a madman.

That was my purpose.

The isle of Bodega is a lie.

This is my confession.

No use sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves, huh?

Stay away.

There is no life here.

I didn't think I'd ever get to touch you again.

You're bleeding.

Did you kill Abner?

I tried.

Did you want him to kill me?

No, we went back to the farm to save you.

Abner saved me.

The preacher was going to shoot me.

I know why he did it.

Can you fix this?

Because I want to but please be honest and tell me

did spending all that time...

I had to listen to him.

Believe him.

I wish he never would have came.

No, you did what you had to do.

You got back to me.

There is no isle of Bodega, Ella.

I know.

And nobody is going to save us.

We'll save ourselves.

No more radios, just us.

It's gonna take me some time to get back to normal.

I know and I'll be with you.

I've done things.

It doesn't matter.

I forgive you and that's what matters.

Those things are gonna come back...

...and I've gotta take care...

No, you won't.

That was the whole point of this.

We've earned it and I want my ring back.

Did you lose it?

It's at the farmhouse.

You left it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

Now we have something to do.

Yeah.

Oh, Jesus.

I made you a plate.

It's not Thursday night steaks but you know.

Mmm, beans.

So...

...how'd you sleep?

He made me sleep in the truck.

He made you sleep in the truck?

Yeah he didn't want me around.

It's not like what you think it was.

What makes you so sure of that?

I mean what if it is exactly what I think it is?

No, he wanted them to get me first.

Look, do you want to talk about it?

Because I think we should.

You know what I think we should talk about.

I think we should talk about what you

and that cowboy talked about.

I was afraid of him.

But you didn't want him to die, did you?

No.

He didn't deserve to die.

What's out there?

I hear it.

I don't hear anything.

It's like a drum.

Look, tomorrow I want to plant a garden.

You know for the future.

I found these seeds in the barn.

You went into the barn?

I didn't think I needed your permission.

Ella, I told you not to go into the barn!

What difference does it make?

It doesn't.

I saw you.

What?

Crying over him.

Abner.

You saw me?

I was in the trees.

You love him?

It's been in front of us all this time.

Gus, please.

Not in here.

- Just let me go... - Don't fight.

- Don't fight. - No, do it, no.

Don't fight!

...The ranch or something.

I've had this secret for so long.

I can't keep it in anymore.

Time doesn't mean anything to the dead.

Okay, I'm sorry

but you die in here.

No.

We both do.

We can... We can stop it.

There's no end.

But don't you want to fight it?

I mean, I mean, we can at least try.

We fought for each other.

I fought for you because you were always coming back here.

We both were.

Gus.

Give me the fucking keys, Gus.

Give me the keys.

Give me the keys.

I threw them in the field.

No, no, no.

No, you didn't.

You didn't!
