Not that I'm much help or anything..

... but I'm all you've got.

Hey.. What's that

hunter's phone number?

Ya?

So you never met him.

No

- And she never talked about him?

- Not to me.

Why would you let your daughter stay with a

guy that you've never met?

whose name you don't even know.?

Cause I look around, I see your photos...

- She was an adult..

- Barely.

Wyuksa psi wasichu.

- What does that mean?

- It ain't good.

Um.. look.

I don't mean to offend you.

I'm trying to understand the dynamic here,

Mr. Hanson

I'm trying to help.

Why is it whenever you people try

to help, it starts with insults.

I don't know why she didn't tell me.

But she was eighteen.

And I chose to trust her..

I chose wrong.

Ok. Well.. um how about your wife,

did your daughter talk to her?

- Do you talk to your mother?

- Her name is Annie? Is she here?

- She's in the bedroom..

- I'd like to speak to her.

Be my guest.

Thank you.

Bedroom's just this way?

- Jane.

- yeah?

You don't mind, right?

Hey, you don't need my permission.

You're an adult.

Barely..

I'm really sorry.

Hey.

I'd like to tell you it gets

easier...

... doesn't.

If there's

any comfort...

...it's getting used to the pain I suppose.

I went to a grief seminar in Casper.

You know that?

Don't know why...

I just wanted the bad to go away.

Wanted answers

to questions that couldn't be answered.

The counselor came up to me

after the seminar.. sat down next to me.

He said something that stuck with me.

I don't know of it's what he said.

Or it's how he said...

He says, "I got some good news

and I got some bad news."

The bad news is

you're never gonna be the same.

"You'll never be whole. Not ever again."

You lost your daughter.

Nothing's ever going to replace that.

"The good news is

as soon as you accept that...

... and you let yourself suffer. "

"You'll allow yourself

to visit her in your mind."

"You remember all the love that she gave."

"All the joy she knew."

The point is, Martin

you can't steer from the pain.

If you do

you'll rob yourself.

You'll rob yourself of every memory of her.

Every last one.

From the first step...

to her last smile.

You kill 'em all.

Just take the pain, Martin.

Do you hear me? You take it.

It's the only way to keep her with you.

I'm just tired, Cory.

I'm just.. so tired

of fighting this life.

What you do now you is for your boy.

Drugs is his family now.

He's gone too.

Lives right down the damn

road, but it's...

He's gone.

I expect they'll find he's involved

in this somehow.

He is staying with the Little feather

boys, that it?

Yeah.

You're driving this Fed around

so she don't get lost, is that it?

They asked me to do,
