going in a big hurry?

I don't know.

I can't talk about it.

Why did your brother have to

get to Carloon in a big hurry?

I can't talk about it.

Well, whatever it was he did,

you got left here to die

while he was doing it.

- It didn't happen like that.

- Really?

How did it happen, then?

I can't talk about it no more,

just stop asking about everything.

'Cause I believe in God and I

know Henry believes in God,

and there's no harm Henry

would want to see me come to.

I believe in that.

Yet look at the harm you've

come to and where's Henry?

He's waiting for me.

He's not waiting for you.

Yes, he is.

No, he's not.

I'll tell you what God's given you.

He's put a bullet in you.

And he's abandoned you out here

to me, who feels nothing for you.

I couldn't give a f***

if you die tomorrow.

God gave you a brother

who's not waiting for you.

He gave you a brother who's not

even thinking about you right now.

Just because you and him came

out of the same woman's hole.

The only thing that means

anything right now

is that I'm here and he's not.

Your brother left you to die.

That's what people do.

You don't learn to fight, your

death's gonna come real soon.

This is 5-1. Passage

is called 2-11.

We should be clear

or clearing shortly.

4-3-7 Echo.

4-3-7 Echo. This is K-K.

Do you copy?

Stop shooting!

I just wanted to fight.

I just wanted to fight him.

Let's go.

Come on.

That lady said it would take about eight

hours to get there, in the old days.

But it might take longer now 'cause a lot

of them old roads ain't there no more.

And all the roads are bad now anyways

so you can't drive fast on 'em.

She said about eight or nine hours.

She wasn't sure if it

was eight or nine.

She seemed a bit confused about it.

And why would he still be there?

He had to wait two

weeks for someone.

There's a man there he's got to

meet, it's gonna take two weeks.

You know this? Or this

is what he told you?

Huh?

Your brother can't be trusted.

Is this something that you know or

is this something that he told you?

Both those things.

You work in the mines?

No.

What do you do then?

I was a farmer. And now I'm here.

Then how come you learned

how to shoot so good?

You was in the army?

When I was a little kid

I grew up on a farm.

We had these neighbors, real old

man and lady, Verna and Clarry,

they's brother and sister.

And they lived on this

land that's all overgrown,

like you couldn't even tell what

they farmed, so overgrown.

And Clarry had these eight tractors,

and none of them worked properly,

so every morning he'd roll each one down

the hill till he got one of them started

and then use that one to

tow all the others back up.
