Jake, I... drew this for you.
I have to go.
Hello child.
Where'd you come from?
Where'd you come from?
What are you doing?
Waiting.
For what?
Waiting.
For somethin' to happen.
I'm not supposed to
talk to strangers so...
Sensible.
I'm not supposed to
talk to strangers so...
That's Dee.
And that's John.
I'm Wyeth.
Now that we know each other,
we're no longer strangers.
I'm Wyeth.
That's a hell of a scar, Jake,
I'm Wyeth.
How'd you get it?
I'm Wyeth.
How do you know my name?
I'm Wyeth.
What were you doing
when you got it?
I'm Wyeth.
Maybe she was
running, maybe she fell.
I'm Wyeth.
Why were you running, Jake?
I'm Wyeth.
To get help from my Grandpa,
I'm Wyeth.
Sheriff Waterhouse.
I'm Wyeth.
Why?
I bet you miss
your brother, don't you?
Why?
Of course she does.
Why?
You like magic, right, Jake?
You like magic, right, Jake?
Sure.
You like magic, right, Jake?
Well, what sorta
trick do you wanna see?
You like magic, right, Jake?
She wants her brother back.
You like magic, right, Jake?
- That's impossible.
- You sure about that?
Slow down, John.
- That's impossible.
- You sure about that?
You seem pretty sure about that.
Is it empty?
Yeah.
Give it here.
Yeah.
Watch carefully.
How was school today, Jake?
Fine, it was fine.
How was school today, Jake?
Did your daddy forget
How was school today, Jake?
- To come and get you?
- No...
How was school today, Jake?
Make sure you're
watching closely.
How was school today, Jake?

Stomp on it.
Stomp on it.
Stomp on it!
Open it.
Your brother's not dead,
he's just hard to find.
Come on.
We got a lot to talk about.
We got a lot to talk about.
I was what, maybe
five minutes late.
I was what, maybe
five minutes late.
I told her to wait for me!
I was what, maybe
five minutes late.
Come closer, child.
There's no reason you can't
have your brother back, Jake.
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
Go on, don't be afraid.
I don't understand.
The rules of the
game are not as fixed
as you think they are, Jake.
But nothin' comes
for nothin', right?
We all want somethin'.
We can bring your
brother back to life,
but somebody has
to take his place.
We can bring your
brother back to life,
Like who?
What about your little
boyfriend Willie Proctor?
Like who?
- He's not my boyfriend.
- Exactly.
Like who?
If he were to take
your brother's place
Like who?
You could have Sean back.
Like who?
Well what do you
guys want with Willie?
Like who?
Nobody'll miss him.
Everybody at school
makes fun of him,
Nobody'll miss him.
He's fucked up, right?
Nobody'll miss him.
So what's the big deal?
You make Willie disappear and
your family's happy again.
So what's the big deal?
Yeah, maybe your
mama won't be so sad.
So what's the big deal?
What do you say?
Now you bring Willie
Proctor to the quarry.
When he goes off the ledge
you'll get your brother back.
Now you bring Willie
Proctor to the quarry.
Should we shake on it?
We got her.
Copy that, Sheriff.
We got her.
We missed you.
We got her.
Honey we love you so much.
We got her.
You're sure you're okay?
We got her.
Hey I told you to wait for me.
We got her.
- Just leave her alone.
- Hey, hey.

I've been wanting you to see it.
Seemed like tonight

See every Sunday they
used to show a Hollywood
picture and I didn't have
any way to see what your grandma
sent me, so I traded
the projectionist
a bottle of whiskey,
he showed it before the feature.
The men went bananas.
He showed it four times before
they'd let the feature start.
The men went bananas.
It reminded them of their own.
Their own families,
their own wives and kids.

journey of revenge...
All they said is that
somebody has to take his place.
Dig two graves.
Dig two graves.
Jake, no!
Jake?
Jake!
Jake this isn't funny.
Jake!
Grab them fuckin' kids and
keep 'em here, goddamn it.
I learned one
thing during the war,
and that is no man's all good,
I learned one
thing during the war,
no man's all bad neither.
I learned one
thing during the war,
There are no cowards,
there are no heroes,
I learned one
thing during the war,
there's only the
living and the dead.
I learned one
thing during the war,
I don't believe in hell neither,
otherwise I'd be there.
I learned one
thing during the war,
It's hard to know what's
right or wrong...
unless you're sitting on the
outside lookin' in.
See there isn't a day that
goes by that I don't regret
what happened to that woman
and that I could've stopped it.
See there isn't a day that
goes by that I don't regret
I did one good...
Well, actually two good
things, but only one is worth
I did one good...
A good goddamn, and
that is I came home
I did one good...
To my wife and my daughter.
I did one good...
Jake!
Jake.
