An Unfinished Life
I heard you interfering little bastards
rummage around my yard.
I'll thank you for keeping
the owls off of my cats.
You sleep OK?
Sorta.
I, uh...
God, Jean,
I don't know what happened.
It's like a red mist or...
Something comes over me and I...
But I feel like you backed me up
in a corner and I...
You do that, and uh...
I hate it when I'm like that.
I'm sorry.
Can you forgive me?
What?!
F*ck!
You promised...
if it happened again...
You promised.
OK, this is last week
and up to yesterday.
- All right?
- OK.
- I stuck an extra 50 bucks in there.
- Kitty, I can't...
- You can. Listen...
- Here, just take it.
I don't wanna see you coming around here
anymore looking like this.
You take care.
Take care of that girl. Get going. OK.
We have a reciprocity
agreement with Kansas.
If you can stay in this shelter for a week.
- I could find you a place in Wichita.
- No.
Every man in town who beats a woman
Do you have someone you can stay with?
I don't think you really understand
just how worried I am.
I don't know.
Maybe they went shopping.
I wish someone in this goddamn place
would just...
would just give me the truth.
Then we could find Jean
pretty damn quick.
Tribune, Kansas.
Do you wanna go there?
Sure. Maybe. I mean,
we can go anywhere we want.
How about Loving, New Mexico?
- I like that.
- Me too.
Topeka.
Santa Cruz.
Oh, my gosh.
There's a Butt, Montana.
It's pronounced "Bute."
- Mom?
- Oh, no. No!
Hey!
She's not going anywhere.
There's a rod sticking through the block.
Yeah.
Just take what you need.
So one inch is 83 miles.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Aloha, Oregon.
It's only ten inches away.
So that's 830 miles
and we've already gone 300 miles...
We're going to Wyoming.
What's in Wyoming?
It's where your grandfather lives.
I have a grandfather?
Not much of one.
When were you going to tell me?
Oh, I'm fine.
Smells like rain.
It's not gonna rain today.
You haven't been right
I know what rain looks like.
You got something
on your mind this morning?
The goddamn bear's back.
Well, what do you think
What I should have done a year ago.
Did anyone notice if he had cubs?
Did you see cubs with him?
OK.
- It's under control, Einar.
- You get out of the way and it will be.
Come on, let's let
the Fish and Game take care of this.
This isn't some pet dog they're after.
I think they can tell
the difference, all right?
That says what
Here we go.
Mom.
Welcome to Wyoming.
Mom, this is us.
So is my grandpa nice?
Why didn't you tell me about him?
Einar!
I don't want you here.
At least we agree on something.
I don't wanna be here either.
We need a place to stay
Looks like you need every part
of your head examined.
Is this yours?
She's yours too.
You telling me I have a grandchild
I don't know about?
I'm telling you
I was pregnant at Griffin's funeral.
Where you been till now?
We've been on the road for two days.
We lived in Iowa.
Now this suddenly seems like home?
What's her name?
My name's Griff.
Griff Gilkyson.
That's an unusual name for a girl.
Einar, please.
Just till I can earn enough
to get us out of here.
There's a room in the basement.
I'm sorry.
Hey. I'm gonna go into town
and look for a job.
You think you'll be all right here?
All right, well, just... be good.
Love you.
I used the bathroom.
I heard you.
- Are you hungry?
- Not yet.
Is there a McDonald's in town?
