Somewhere else.

So how'd you end up here?

I ran away from home.

That's a very brave thing, Eva.

New places can be very intimidating

especially on your own.

Why don't we talk a little bit about

the home that you ran away from?

Who did you live there with?

My brother and my father

and... my mother.

Are they still there?

Eva?

Are they all still there?

Yes.

Gets any colder, we're gonna have

to chop up some more wood.

You know, you gonna have

to talk to me eventually.

You can't keep talking

to that horse everyday.

What is that you want me to say?

Anything. Whatever you want,

whatever's on your mind.

Might make things better between us.

In the end... like,

they start, like, spending

more and more time together

but he starts getting weaker and weaker.

So then, he, like, dies...

She's doing a lot of things now.

She likes to dance or play

or she loves singing.

And she's as...

Who the hell does she think she is?

Nobody even likes her.

Well, just 'cause our families' here...

doesn't mean anything.

Okay, girls. Goodbye hug

and let's line up at the door.

Hustle up.

- Come on.

- What the hell?

- Get off of me!

- Danny! Danny!

- Get off of her. Stop it!

- Just ignore her.

What the hell do you know?

Your dad threw you out on your ass.

- I'm tryin' to help.

- I don't need your help.

- I don't need anybody's f***in' help!

- Enough!

I know you're upset about everything.

I'm upset, too.

Son, I don't think you got

the full picture.

Look, when I was your age...

I struggled to understand this place.

Walk along that wall.

Wonder...

what it all meant.

I plagued my dad with questions.

He told me stories

about your great-grandparents,

their kin and their friends

who claimed this land.

Their community had been...

fractured, had been destroyed by...

unexplained deaths...

disappearances, sometimes it's children.

Tore families apart.

Having theirs, they... they came here

trying to make a fresh start.

And now we are the ones that remain.

Oh, when I was a kid

those stories filled me full of fear.

But as time went on, I grew.

Life was... normal, orderly.

Then your mother and I started

talking about having children.

Those stories came back.

I was scared.

And your mother...

she said they were just stories,

they were just folklore.

And you were born.

And you were a happy, healthy child.

We were so happy.

Few years went by.

And then along came Eva.

And...

things started happening.

Your mother fell ill and...

And we... been struggling ever since.

It amazes me.

And after everything

you've done to this family.

That you can sit in here...

and talk, and talk...

Zac, I'm telling you the truth.
