Daddy always promises.
He promised to buy me baby sassy for Christmas.
It's not Daddy's fault there wouldn't have worked at Christmas.
He's never worked.

He's gonna bring his sneakers and take us out for pizza.

Daddy, you're all blood coming out.

I did a full thing, John.
I couldn't face up to your mom again coming home empty handed.
Well, you gotta get to a doctor.
Guess I ain't been much of a credit for you and Pearl as a daddy.
A daddy's job is to provide.
This money is my, my insurance policy.
Living poor forces, people do desperate things sometimes.
People are going to be storming all over this place looking for this money.
Daddy, are the police coming here?
They never tell nobody, especially not your momma.
I know if she finds out she won't sleep at night until it's her turn to the penny.
Promise?

No promise to God, promise to me here.

Come on, we gotta go.
We'll find a place to put this money.

You're all there, son.
Jesus blessed us all with the free will to scorn or embrace his precious flesh.

Well, let's come to the notice.
You've been questioning them late these last few moments.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but lately it's just been a battle getting my little one out and off to school.
I don't like to miss another people's business, but I heard you applied for a weekend waitress job at the cafe.
If you have problems keeping up with one job, well, you know I got to do by myself now,
and I want to make a good home for the children.
Damn, Anne, for leaving you all in such a way.
MUSIC
Well, you know I'm thankful that Grandma Bailey left this at all house.
You know, at least we got cover up for our heads.
MUSIC
Mrs. Spoon, uh, you know, the finishing department is way behind.
Oh, Mr. Garrett's won all thrice in all time.
Well, I could take materials home and work at the house.
The company could just pay me for straight piece work.
You wouldn't have to pay any overtime.
And I could be home with John and Pearl.
MUSIC
Mr. Garrett still having a complaints.
Tell him it's fine with me.
MUSIC
MUSIC
My baby would look pretty with hair like that.
Would you stop bothering me?
Pearl, sweetheart, I'm sorry. Mommy didn't mean that.
Where's John? I thought he was helping you lay out the supper.
He's playing outside.
Oh, come on, let's go get him.
Come on.
Are you hungry?
I'll be hungry too.
Come on.
John, I'm going to get that thing towed for scrap.
It wouldn't take much to fix it up, you know.
And you could drive it to work.
You know I can't drive stick.
Now come on inside and let's get ready for supper.
Wash up.

Oh, Reverend. Are you okay?
MUSIC
Hurry up now!
Oh, thank you!
What are you trying to do, Walt?
Relocate the whole town into Ohio?
I thought it was just my radiator boiling over.
Folks around here, oh, you, Mr.
Couldn't just leave her set there and burn.
This, let her set you down for a decent fee.
I'll find time for my personal needs when my mission is complete.
Well, at least why I just let us pass the hat to help you on your way.
My mission brings me here.
To Wallace?
Last month.
I was called to give comfort to a man, Diane, in the county locker.
He asked me to deliver a message.
Ben Harper?
You know the man.
Willa Harper works with my wife at the doll factory.
MUSIC
In here, Willa. He's waiting.
MUSIC
Reverend.
It's Harper.
Would you be kind enough to send the waitress for Mrs. Harper's order?
Oh, I don't care for anything, Walt.
Please.
You suppose Ben told him anything about the money?
You have a hard time convincing me that anybody throw away $50,000.
It wasn't pretty past, Ben.
That boy was so kind of cheery if you'd throw him any creak.
He'd have floated upstream.
In his misguided way.
Ben just wanted to do good by you and the children.
I find it surprising that Ben turned to God.
I came from a Christian upbringing, but Ben pretty much discouraged that after we were married.
Looking into the eyeball of death, I've seen even the hardest man call out for his maker.
Just a little bit of that money would have gone a long way toward using the load.
It's a mother's instinctive nature you want to provide for a young.
But tough as things are, I'm sure you know you're better off without that tainted money.
Oh, no, I didn't mean I proved what Ben did.
No.
Too bad you couldn't have stopped him from chucking that bundle.
You could have handed this idle speculation before it even started.
Well, I never could talk sense to Ben.
The fact is, how was it work?
The thought of that frightened man running home to an empty house.
Now the children were there.
Well, those poor babies all alone.
That's no way for a child, remember their father.
All bloodied and running for his life.
Oh, yeah.
John Harper? You trying to break his town down or what?
Why aren't you at school?
I was going, but, uh...
Somebody's gonna have to account for that damage.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Wally.
Oh, that's all right. We don't cut no more keys here anyhow, will I?
You get yourself to school.
You go on.
I prayed with your daddy, John.
He asked me to come down here and tell you how much he loved you.
You prayed with my daddy?
Yes, sir. He had a change of heart at the end.
We prayed and...
He asked me to tell you to help your mama.
And to ask the Lord to make you grow up strong and follow his word.
My daddy didn't have to be afraid with you.
My daddy never told you no such thing.
You get yourself to school now, John. I'll discuss it later.
I'm so embarrassed.
Go lie down him.
Loosen your daddy's a hard thing for a boy.
Come on, it's lunch time.
Oh, no, I was going so long a morning. I said lunch!
Okay. I hope the Reverend gave you some comfort.
I must say he's got a very calming way about him.
He's a very presentable man.
I gave a Reverend Thompson a call and he's going to let Mr. Powell preach from his pulpit this Sunday.
He smiles at the wrong times.
Oh, men are like that.
Sometimes I just don't know how to act around a pretty woman.
But the good part is this is going to finally hush up all that gossip about the money.
And now I suppose lips will be flapping over what a neglectful mother I am.
Who says that?
Oh, anybody who saw John running wild on Main Street this morning.
Well, that age of a boy being deprived of his daddy is a mighty upsetting thing.
Well, deprived is all they know.
And I see him.
We're in the same clothes and doing without.
At home, Pearl, she looks at the dolls just so envious.
I really should do my piecework after she's gone to bed.
It's Harris too curly.
I believe quality control is going to have to reject it.
Maybe you know a little girl wouldn't mind a factory second doll.
Well, come on, won't birdie, don't bite.
He smiles quickly.
Hi, birdie.
Did your mom allow you to drink coffee back home?
No, sir.
Well, we take our Joe Man style around here.
I got sugar, you know.
Oh, okay, two spoons, please.
When I say I got sugar, that means I got diabetes, you know, that is.
Huh?
That means I can't have no sweets.
It's never as bitter as the first swallow in it.
Well, you should see those fools.
I mean, all the way to Granny Bridge.
Yeah, they've been dragging the current there, looking for any trace of the money.
I know people are saying all kinds of things about your paw.
But the true man usually falls somewhere between folks best and worst opinion of them.
Which a paw was a rightful friend of mine, and that's the way I'm going to remember them.
Hmm?
Is something eating at your boy?
Well, preacher's been coming around my house.
He says he knew my daddy.
Your dad socialized and moved to Boston.
That's not very likely.
But I thought a preacher wasn't supposed to lie.
Well, regular preacher's the one thing, but these mail order parsons, they got such a gift of the gab.
They can get folks to jerken and holler in the name of the spirits.
Right here in these parts, I've seen people so fevered and so sermon drunk,
that they get them to cozy up the vipers and copperheads.
Poison snakes?
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
They're not going to cozy up the vipers and copperheads.
Poison snakes?
Yeah, they do.
Notion that snake bites cannot hurt the truly righteous.
What do you think of that?
Giant!
Giant!
This creepy crawly's out here.
You see, creepy crawly's everywhere, bro.
The rivers on the rise of catfish should be up, looking for a meal.
Daddy promised he'd take me fishing.
He did.
Well, I'll learn you to set a good trot line, huh?
You know?
Try!
Go.
Well, tomorrow.
So, too.
Goodbye.
Now, don't forget.
And just once, I'd like to use a tea bag one time and throw it away.
You know, I better have that money.
I bet we could live decent then.
I don't ever want to hear you talk like that again.
That is bloodied money tainted with Satan's own curse.
Daddy didn't hurt anybody on purpose, Mama.
I've decided you and Pearl are going to get back into the church habit.
Come Sunday.
You've been listening to that preacher.
He's been making stories about Daddy.
Uncle Bertie says so.
Hey, hey, hey.
Didn't I tell y'all not to go around that nasty old man?
You ain't no more nasty, didn't I?
Preacher.
You get yourself to your room, mister.
My best show's on to you.
No TV for you.
I look upon the kind faces of this congregation.
And give thanks for the warm embrace of your Christian hospitality.
Jesus smiles on those who give comfort to the traveler.
I notice some of you eye in these hands.
Well, I tell you, I find these tattoos mighty helpful when it comes to preaching the word.
It was with the left hand that came struck the blow that laid his brother low.
This hate hand now bears the curse of the living and almighty Jehovah.
Amen.
The fingers of this hand are fed by veins that lead directly to the heart.
The right hand is the hand of love.
Hate and love.
Worrying one against the other for control.
And that is the story of life, my friends.
The soul of man.
Worrying against his own greed and lust and stinking corruption.
Amen.
It is not an accidental turn in the road that brings me to you good folks today.
Ben Harper sent me to this pulpit.
Ben Harper sent me to give testimony to his deadly murderous offense.
Yes.
Exhausting his last mortal breaths, he sent me here with a message of the error of easy money.
Too many.
What have you seen that?
From a favorite body.
Bloody cash.
And now a curse hovers over this gentle community.
You let him say that about daddy.
So I have come to help lift that curse and return this town to the Lord's good favor.
That ain't so.
John, please.
He's lying about my daddy.
It ain't so.
Sit down now.
Sit down.
I won't until he takes back his lies.
What a blessingness.
What a peace is mine.
Leading on the everlasting arms.
Leading.
Leading.
Safe and secure from all our arms.
Leading.
Leading.
Leading.
Leading on the everlasting arms.
Why did the chicken sit on the axe?
So she can hatch it.
Why was that his first day so long?
Because there was no eve.
Eee!
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Where's that?
Where's that?
You know what?
Well, I hope you'll pardon the intrusion.
It's no intrusion at all, Mr. Powell.
Well, I just wanted to say that perhaps I came across a bit harsh at Sunday, Sermon.
That's why I caused any more hurt, especially to the youngsters.
The children know their father did wrong.
I guess they're just trying to reckon with it the best ways they can.
We're just sitting down to supper.
Wouldn't be no bother to set another plate.
Mm-hmm.
Turning your back on Satan's temptations is one thing, but turning away from home cooking.
Mr. Powell, there's one more slice of meatloaf left.
I believe I'm filled with satisfaction, thank you.
I'll just wrap it up for you and you can take it along for some sandwiches.
Uh-uh.
So much silence, ain't a natural thing, you know, boy.
It don't help for you to slam it.
It never produces right.
I can't afford to get a repairman right now.
Well, maybe I can fix it.
Well, look at that.
Anything else, just make a list.
I know how a house can go to the devil without a man around.
Sweetheart, why don't you take Reverend Powell into the parlor and make him comfortable.
Thanks.
Big old house like this must be a great place for a game of hide and seek.
Well, um, what a nice little baby she is.
Hi, name is Miss Jimmy.
Mm-hmm.
His mama been buying lots of nice little things.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
His mama been buying lots of nice presents for you and Joan.
A lady gave it to mama at her job.
If I'd known we were having company, I would have made a cobbler, uh, pudding.
Well, frankly, I don't think I could find a place to put it.
Besides, I need to be moving on.
Goodbye, Miss Jimmy.
I promised some of the church women that I'd help and plan the prayer social tonight.
Perhaps you'd be free to join us.
If it's okay with a man in the house.
Bedtime.
But mommy ain't home yet.
You're gonna get a two-wheeler like that?
It's a secret.
You're bad to have secrets.
You had a secret with daddy.
How'd you know that?
Preacher said it.
He said daddy told him.
Did he promise you a bike?
Preacher's a bad man, Pearl.
If he's bad, how can we came to help us?
It's because he thinks there's money.
Kids say daddy was bad.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You'd say daddy was bad.
You'd say daddy was good.
People say preacher is good.
And you'd say preacher is bad.
I give up.
It may not be the four-squared temple or the crystal cathedral.
But I don't think the Lord will thumb his nose at this fine tabernacle.
I see the foundation of a fine ministry here.
Just sometimes.
I question if I'm a suitable spokesman for God's word.
All these years, I've moved around without attachments.
I've made my congregation among the lost and discarded.
But I wonder if there isn't a time in a man's life.
What he tires of the road.
You know, well, I've chose to dedicate my life to the message of salvation.
Of course, that don't exclude me from natural feelings,
for an attractive woman.
But I stand by the conventions.
I respect the family.
I hope you value that in me.
Oh, I value a great deal in you.
Harry Powell.
I want you to find value.
I want you to trust.
I don't think you know the struggle.
I look at that boy.
I was even younger than John.
You can bet I'd bucked against a harsh hand.
Even in my crone years.
Believe me, I've done restitution for my slack and error.
But that's the nature of the struggle.
Right against wrong.
Easy against harsh.
Pleasure against sacrifice.
I've never moved to one easy day in my life.
I think I know how hard it's been.
What you've been through.
But there comes a time.
To rest.
You know, some scientists figured it out.
And they came up with the opinion that this is the second oldest river on the planet.
And the only one older is the River Nile.
People tell me this is one of the prettiest spots in creation.
Well, I'd have to take their word on that.
Seems how I've never been nowhere else.
Nowhere.
I want Ben's in my honeymoon.
We did go to Colonial Beach, Maryland.
I never did see the ocean.
I'm sorry.
Look at those kids burning every light in that house.
How I heard it.
Those folks believe if you're not sinful, you can handle poison snakes and they won't bite.
Well, back country folks.
Don't take the strange people hanging out.
You could take us?
Well, a regular church don't suit you.
What do I want to hang around snake people for?
Life snakes?
Is that preacher fella still creeping around your house?
Yeah.
Yeah, he is.
The pack's a good till August.
Do you know where the keys are at?
My dad had the only set.
We can get her started.
My mom don't drive a stick shift.
You want to learn to drive, boy?
I know your daddy was against religion.
Is that why you're so set against me?
You don't have anything against regular religion.
I just don't like this kneel down holy holy kind.
Well, do you like, son?
Well, the front of my dad's.
He has his church way out on the back parts.
No, on Wednesday nights they have good music and stuff.
That sounds pretty interesting, doesn't it?
You trying to hunt wired?
Kind of young.
You know your way around cars, aren't you?
Oh, I know enough.
Well, let's see.
Set yourself behind the wheel.
When I say, give her some gas.
All right.
All right.
Okay, give her a pedal.
This church is on Wednesday nights, you see?
Yeah.
My mom's got Bible study Wednesday night.
Well, uh, I was just thinking us.
Us?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Yes!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Thank you Lord!
Thank you Lord!
Thank you Lord!
I kept calling me and I wasn't taking notes.
I was all turned around with glittery gaming.
Hey, come on, pray.
Come on, come on.
Hey, come on, pray.
Come on.
Oh, no, please.

It didn't one day, the Lord spoke to me so loud.
It kept my ears a ring of three months.
And God gave me victory over my fastness.
And I came that day for the anointing.
Just as a lot of you know, we got snakes up here.
I'm going to be on the line.
Where'd it go? Where'd it go?
Who won't it go?
Feed. Feed.
See.
Feed.
Feed.
Oh.
Oh.
Look at me.

Up with a clean heart would come forward to test his faith
Right here, brother. Let me annoy myself in the witness of the Lord.
Did old outing John think the serpent would strike me dead if I touched it?
So, boy, you take a snake? Or is there deviousness in your heart?
You think I don't know why? You brought me here?
No, sweetheart.
No, sweetheart. No!
They're not in the whole snake.
All right, it is. They didn't. They didn't.
You see how dare I feel. She has hooked up your children to a place like that.
If you seriously believe that I would endanger these children.
John, don't do any good to go unprotected, you know. Tell your mama how you tricked me.
It's late. She should have been in bed hours ago.
Maybe she should sleep in mama's room tonight, huh?
Can you show me the way to mama's room?
Can we help first under the bed?
If we see anything nasty, we'll just squash it flat.
You gotta listen. Art things hard enough.
I mean, all I ask from you is a little cooperation.
I mean, if you can't do that much for me, just go to your room. Just go on.
Uh-huh.
Mom? I'm scared. What-what if something bad happens to the family?
John, if what already happened ain't bad, I'm afraid to know what it is.
What if we really had money? We could go away. Maybe Arizona or Florida?
Oh, John, sweetheart.
Don't be like your father dwelling on what ain't it.
Preacher's not interested in us.
No, we're not his natural children. I'm not saying that.
No.
You can't expect him to be his patient with you as a real father.
That's not what he's after.
I think we all understand what's great in John.
He's come to think of himself as the man around this house.
It's a hard adjustment to let a new man come into his room.
You ain't never coming in.
Come on over here, John. I'm the second we need to discuss.
I know it's a short time, but I stand in my faith against hypocrisy,
and it would be hypocrisy to hide the feelings I feel for your mother.
Feelings I'm forbidden to express outside the blessing of matrimony.
So with your permission, I plan to start a life with your mom
and to do good by you children.
Bye-bye, thank you.
Bye-bye.
I think it's half, baby.
I expect it to at least be going through the motion.
You want to help me make up Bela's bed?
Did you know I had a little girl?
Well, she's not a little girl anymore. She's a devil hide and she doesn't even think.
I'm not a little girl anymore.
I'm not a little girl anymore.
I'm full down this blind, are you?
Harry?
How was praying?
I'm sorry.
I'll wait for you to finish.
Wait for a blow.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
Harry?
How was praying?
I'm sorry.
I'll wait for you to finish.
Wait for blood.
You were expecting me?
You thought I was going to start to paw and handle you?
I don't expect you to paw.
I think it's time we got one thing straight, Bela.
Get up.
Come on, get up.
Strip off your night dress.
Let's get back under the covers.
Do like I say.
Now go around and face the mirror.
Go on.
Night dress, Willem.
Now what do you see?
Harry, it's cold.
I said look in the glass.
The only thing I have to give is me.
Well, you're not hearing me.
I said look at this body.
This body was intended as a vessel from creation and motherhood.
Do you intend children?
I don't know.
This body was meant for begetting children.
It was not meant for the coarse, groping pleasure of men.
That's filthiness, filthiness and whoring.
I'm not saying you're any worse than the rest, but...
With this body...
This body...
I cannot believe you want us to soil ourselves with rottenness and health.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
I'm sorry.
It was just me.
I can't believe you.
Well, you're married now.
How?
Can I please you?
It is the purpose of this marriage.
It is the business of this marriage.
To mind those two children you have now?
It is our business, to set a moral example,
It's been a long day.
Cover yourself up.
Go to bed.
Don't!
That's the wall.
You're supposed to come in by the door.
Oh, sorry.
You want to think about running away sometimes?
You know, I don't like to see by myself.
Will you come too?
Oh, we can go to our same school.
What's going on in here?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
What's going on in here?
Nothing.
Nothing.
The pre-young should do nothing.
How come you have to go hide about it?
Go on downstairs, bro.
Go on.
Oh, perfect little hideout here.
All kinds of secret nooks and crannies.
Why do you think your daddy stole that money in the first place?
Huh?
I think he did it because he wanted to make a good life for you.
So what's wrong if we all have a good life?
What do you want, more than anything?
You want me out of this house.
Isn't there some way we can both get what we want?
I don't have to make no deals.
My mom's going to find out about you.
You'll believe that.
Sure find out you're a fake and you'll be gone.
You think you know your momma's true heart better than I do?
You think boy?
Ha ha.
John Harper.
I'd have at least thought you were man enough to come clean on your own.
Come clean about what?
I caught him.
Caught him what?
He was up in the attic playing with matches.
No way.
All that paper and old furniture up there, it's like a tinder box.
Mom, I didn't.
Don't make any worse by lying.
You lie.
Beginning tomorrow, we're going to start a new program around here.
Immediately after school, John will come home and report directly to me.
I think the boy needs to open his Bible.
My own daddy used to drill me.
When I was John's age, I could recite from Acts to Zephaniah.
I think John could learn some obedience and humility from the scriptures.
Mom, he can't!
John, please.
In your own eyes, I know you think you've done right.
But you've failed those children with laxity and permissiveness.
I know the kind of rebellion that can prove inside of a boy.
It only came to me as a man that a shut hand can often enclose love.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
I know you've failed those children with a gun.
What are you doing?
Oh no, don't make me come and get you.
Don't make me come and get you.
Don't make me come and get you.
Don't make me come get you!
Come get you
You're digging a deep hole deeper
What are you doing out here?
I said what are you doing out here?
Well uh, being cruel.
We were looking out at the rain and she dropped her dog
so I came out to get it.
Get off back in the house.
Come on!
Kevin's there, will you do it out there?
You're choking, get inside.
Hey somebody!
I still really need to get in.
Watch all this noise about.
The door's locked.
Maybe it's locked because this ain't your home anymore.
Hey Pearl!
Hey Pearl, let me in!
I don't have a jacket, it's cold out here, let me in!
Pearl didn't want to talk to you, she's talking to me now.
Mama!
Mama can't hear you, she's a church.
The lady's prayer meeting.
Well, well, well.
Such a pretty little girl.
You should have lots of pretty things and not have to live cooped up in this dreary old house.
I like the house.
I know how children feel.
I know what it's like to be shut in.
Hmm?
Never air or light closed off, sealed in a bottle.
Pearl!
Where are you going?
I'll come you're running away from your friends, huh?
Well, maybe we'll just go play by ourselves.
Hello there, Miss Jenny.
Hello, Mr. Bear.
How are you today?
Well, I'm all right.
You know something?
I think Pearl's a little scared of preacher.
Well, maybe.
Sometimes.
But preacher.
Preacher just wants to make Pearl happy.
Don't you, little?
Truly?
Preacher only wants Pearl to love him.
Pearl?
Pearl, I got an idea.
Let's play a tixley tape, honey.
No?
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it.
You're even alone!
You hurt my sister, I swear.
Something on your mind, boy?
Okay, I'll tell you.
You'll tell me what.
If I show you where it is, will you go away?
You want?
Is another one of your tricks, boy?
No, it's right in there in a closet.
You first?
I've already checked this room.
It's in there.
On the shelf, behind a lot of stuff.
Is it?
Okay, where?
Behind all those things.
That's what you wanted me to find, boy.
Is it?
Is it?
I ain't nobody right, Trebunist!
You're playing me for a fool, boy.
You see that river up there?
There are places in there you could lose a little boy's body forever.
Now where's the money?
All right, I'll tell you.
Where?
It's up there.
Hey, hatbox.
If you're tricking me, it's going to go real hard with you.
I'm going to be here.
I'm going to be here.
I'm going to be here.
We're kidding.
We can't catch it off for this time.
In 37.
In 37.
Who means Prabut?
I'm not sure everything's all right at the house.
I got B7.
B7.
It's just taken a little bit of time for everybody to make the adjustment.
Pay attention to your numbers.
There you go!
We got a mingle here.
You've got a hundred-dollar winner.
I do.
I'm not going to explain this to Harry.
You're not!
You're just going to tuck that hundred-dollar bill away and save it for a treat for you and the youngsters.
Harry?
Oh, badness.
It was godless little beast.
I show restraint and look what happened here.
I'm not sure what happened here.
Harry, you're not sure what happened here.
Harry, you're not sure what happened here.
I show restraint and look what happened here.
Harry, what happened?
Oh, god.
We're the children.
John.
Pearl.
Sweetheart, are you okay?
My god.
What's going on here?
You're not sure.
He was mean to John.
He walked him outside.
Sometimes John just gets him so mad.
It's because he wouldn't tell.
Tell him what?
With the money he's hit.
Willa, I think I need the doctor. Hurry.
Okay.
Listen.
You children, you stay in this room.
And later, we'll all sit down.
And we'll figure out what's going on here.
Okay.
Okay.
Is your head bad?
Are you okay to drive?
There's something's going on.
Never seen those children so frightened.
Harry.
I'm not making any judgments, but I think I need some explanations.
Then maybe you can explain something to me.
What?
I was intending to tell you.
You were intending to tell me what?
I didn't know Mrs. Boone was taking me to a bingo game.
Don't lie to me!
Where is the rest of it?
John was right.
All along, he knew what was the money you were after.
Where are you going?
I'm going back to the house.
I'm going to talk to my children.
I'm going blind and injured.
And this time I'm going to listen.
I'm going to talk to my children.
I'm going to talk to my children.
I'm going to listen.
This time I'm going to listen.
Please, please.
I've got to make you understand.
Aren't you the one who always wanted to understand?
All those years.
I was trapped.
Couldn't get away.
Oh, bottled up.
Suffocating.
I pushed the claw, but I couldn't get away.
Is this getting clear?
Willa?
I've got to break out.
Get free.
There's no other way.
See, Willa?
Do you understand me now?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
Willa?
You have a pal?
Will it didn't show up for work this morning?
Miss Spoon was worried.
We'll be driving out here.
Kurt?
Is Willa feeling ill?
She...
What's the matter?
She's run off.
Just...
jumped in the car.
Rored out of here in the middle of the night.
Willa?
Go? I just left her children.
Last night she came home late.
Filmed wild ideas.
Flauntin' a hundred dollar bill from who knows where.
Maybe I only saw what I wanted to see.
From the wedding night, she...
Now I can accept from Ben, she...
she may have been accustomed to...
well...
more excitement in the bedroom, but...
there are words of rejection no man can bridge.
If you want us to take in the children...
I already explained it to him that their mama left early for work.
I started to pack him off now that...
there's no something was wrong.
But...
she didn't come back by by night.
They always have a home with us.
You are truly good people.
Indeed you are.
Is Mommy back?
I don't know if...
it's our place to meddle.
Maybe I can fix a casserole.
I'll bring it by later, see if things settle down.
Hey Mr. Spoon, up here!
Help!
Just give him the money!
We can't.
Tell he finds the money he can't hurt us.
You children better get your mind straight, because I'm coming!
Where's my home?
She's gone out for a while.
Where?
Off in the car.
My mom will drive a stick.
For such a smart little boy.
How come you haven't figured out what's going to happen to you if you don't show me to that money?
Huh?
Downstairs?
I got no more patience.
In there, Pearl.
First I'm going to start with your brother.
Where is it?
I'm telling you where!
No, no!
It's in the door!
In the door.
You're going to tell me which one?
Huh?
If I come up with nothing here, it's going to be you and the pantry, and I'm going to be talking to Pearl!
It's not any of those.
No, it's in Pearl's!
Where?
Upstairs, it's upstairs.
I know your tricks, Mr. E!
I don't know what you're doing.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
No, it's in Pearl's!
Where?
Upstairs, it's upstairs.
I know your tricks, Mr. E!
He's gone!
He's gone!
He's gone!
He's gone!
He's gone!
I don't know what time he's standing here.
He's gone!
He's gone!
Come on, right!
Right!
Come on, Pearl, right!
Come on!
Come on!
Get up!
Get up!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
You think you can hide from me?
I got your trap, don't you know that?
Do you hear me?
You think you want!
I'll get you!
And I'll ring the life out of you with my own hands!
You think you want? I'll get you.
And I'll ring the life out of you with my own hands.
I saw the extra ones of the shark that could find a bird in hand.
Oh, there ain't nothing bigger in here than just some fisher of guard.
Hang on tight.
Hey, Mr. Over here!
Mr.! Hello!
Hey, Mr. Over here!
Somebody will see us. It's going to be okay.
John! Look!
And a child shall lead him.
Little devils! Get ready to see hell!
No!
Where is he?
Stop fleeing!
Not a crime!
aleigh!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
The road's gotta be dark, but there's no monsters, no creepy crawlers.
That's okay, John.
I ain't scared anymore.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
I'm not gonna be a little too late.
