I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no. I can't even remember
what got us started, babe.
You're too stubborn, Carter.
Sam, slow down, watch where you're going.
You said you were gonna
clean up that field.
And so, we remember Crayton,
for what he had accomplished,
for his family,
a gift that we would treasure.
You told Aunt Jane you quit.
Yeah, well. I gave up half
of my day to drive you up here.
So, let's call it a truce and go wish your
parents happy anniversary, okay, Bird?
Don't call me that.
Okay, Isabelle.
Look, why don't we pay
our respects real quick?
I don't want you to come.
Fine, but leave the camera
here with me, okay?
You know you can't hide
behind that thing forever.
Okay. Just don't take
any pictures of the service.
Okay.
Here you go.
I'll be right here.
any pictures, Bird.
Isabelle?
Hi.
I've been taking real good care
of your camera.
I...
And so, we remember Crayton,
for what he had accomplished.
May we leave here
with but one
overarching thought in out minds.
That Crayton will always...
Father?
Please. Please.
Okay! Okay. Please.
I understand it's... it is over but...
Please, I'm asking you...
we can talk about this.
We can sit down. We can make some
kind of a deal. I'm begging you.
I'm begging you to please just don't...
Take a good look.
You only get one.
- I don't know you.
- But you know my employer.
You know you don't challenge
a man in his position.
- Please.
- I've shown you my face.
So you're already dead.
Don't forget your book.
Roger.
Isabelle?
- Isabelle!
- Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking
for a little girl in a red dress.
- There's the little angel right now.
- Roger! No!
Roger!
Help! Help me!
Help!
Help me, please!
Help me!
Help!
Help!
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay.
I can help you. What happened?
Tell me what happened? Somebody hurt?
Oh, f***.
F***.
Hey, you took some potshot, did you?
Get back! Get back!
Give it up, mister!
You ain't getting through to me!
Just making sure you know your place.
My place? Where is that?
I'm sitting pretty on a high ground!
You waste your clip
burying bullets in the furniture.
That 45 ain't gonna cut a hole
through to me and you know it.
Not with that f***ing condom it's wearing.
Well, well, well.
That man knows his guns.
So do I.
Pitiful range you got with that candy ass
20 gauge you're riding up there.
You ain't nothing but a quail hunter, boy.
And I damn sure
ain't no small game, you hear?
You know, it's still enough
to tear you apart this close, a**hole.
You're right.
You know you're going to need
something damn sizable substantial
- if you really want to rough up with me.
- I've got plenty, buddy!
You just try and come up them
f***ing stairs again, okay!
I will blow your f***ing head clean off!
I'm getting the police
on the line right now!
Phone's dead.
Looks like I caught you at a bad time.
I got a cell phone, a**hole!
I know, dipshit.
I'm looking at it.
Sh*t!
on you at all times.
You know, for emergency and such.
I'm just saying.
It don't matter anyway. The nearest cop
is at least a half hour away from here
and I won't need
but a few minutes of your time.
- You sound like you're selling me somethin'.
- Maybe I am, maybe I ain't, friend.
Look. Here's the situation.
That adorable little muppet you got
up there, she's seen my face.
Hell, if she was a snake,
she would have bit me.
So, if I don't put a hole in her head,
and I mean like right quick,
somebody's going to do the same thing
to me and I can't allow that.
So, what I need you to do
is send her down,
so I can tidy things up a bit,
you understand?
Yeah. You think she can identify you.
Yes, I know she will,
as quick as a frog can lick flies.
But you, on the other hand you didn't see
f*** all, except the masked gunman.
I can give less than two shits about you.
All I want is the girl.
So why don't you send her on down here,
let me handle my business and I'll be gone.
Look, son. I understand the...
unfortunate and the... complex moral
dilemma that you're facing here.
The wrap is real simple.
The little lady seen my face.
Now, she's got to pay the price,
like everybody else.
That's how it works.
As far as you should be concerned,
she's already dead.
to prove that little point to you
the sooner you can get back to your...
perfect little life here.
Now, I know you're bleeding up there.
And that does make time a factor,
so here's what you're going to do.
You're going to send the girl down to me.
Get yourself to a hospital,
I'm going to take care of my business
and that'll be that. What do you say?
Believe me when I tell you, son.
You do not want to fight me on this thing.
This will only devolve
into a battle of wills
and my will is stronger
than anyone you have ever met.
Yeah?
Well, you and me ain't never
been introduced, a**hole.
My name is Carter Greene.
This is my house!
And so long as I'm still breathing...
you ain't gonna harm a hair
on this child's head.
Listen, you just send
the little lady down here right now.
This is not the time to play hero
and I am the last individual
on God's green Earth
that you want to butt heads with.
You hear me?
Oh, yeah, I hear you.
I hear you and you sound really scary.
F*** you, farmer Jim!
You're alone out here on the frontier.
No friends! No family!
No cops! No help at all!
This the wild west, son!
The wild f***ing west!
There ain't no guards
coming out here to save your ass!
It's just you and me
and 'em murderer crows
waiting to pick over our dead bones!
So, you take a breather.
You let that sink in.
But don't take too long, yeah?
Wouldn't want to get too much blood
all over your white trash finest.
I need your help.
I want you to go to the bathroom and get
the first aid kit. It's under the sink, go.
Come to Papa.
Alright, set it down. Open it up.
Come here.
You're going to help me, okay?
Okay.
Now, get it real hot, okay?
Just hold it on there.
Alright, let's put it down. Don't look.
More.
Alright, more, more, more. Come on.
Okay.
You're supposed to swallow them.
Not when it hurts as bad as I do.
Go in the other room.
In a box, there are some light bulbs,
okay? Bring me all of them.
And some... water. Bring me some water.
I said all of them, go.
Towels, bring me some towels.
The bathroom, go. Go.
Please.
Good.
Ain't no farmer.
Now, even if we're not here, we'll hear him
if he tries to climb the upstairs.
Cool. What's the water for?
For drinking.
You want some?
So what's your name?
Isabelle. But everyone
calls me Bird, I don't like it though.
Bird?
How'd you get a colorful name like that?
My dad gave it to me.
My mom said he started calling me
his little bird when I was real small
He died, though.
They both did.
Car crash.
Car.
I'm sorry.
