["Shenandoah Shakedown"
by John R. Miller]
[gentle country music]
There's a crack in the altar
Pale light through the break
Like crooked teeth
And I couldn't fault her
Knowing what was at stake
Nothing worth underneath
And the hills
move like lungs
The river speaks in tongues
And I am not alone

[Sara] Hold on one sec.
[door squeals open]
What are you doing here?
I came to drive y'all to school.
Will, he takes the bus.
Baby, come on.
Look, we can drop him off
and then I'll drive you.
You fucked up?
No.
I just wanna drive you.
Please?
I'd tell you to go hell if
I didn't want that ride.
[Sara] Morgan! Daddy's here.
[door slams]
[Will] Is that what they're
teaching you in school
right now?
Thanksgiving?
-[Sara] That wasn't--
-[Will] In the middle of summer?
-It ain't summer yet.
-I'm going to
teach you something
for real, okay?
Come on.
Get on my lap.
Oh, okay.
I'm gonna teach
you how to drive.
-[Sara] Drive to school.
-All right.
Put your hand on it.
Yeah. There you go.
All right, you're
gonna beep, okay?
When they come.
-[car horn honking]
-Beep. Beep to your friend.
-[Will laughing]
-[car horn honking]
You want daddy to pick
you up later, Morgan?
-Come on.
-All right. [grunts]
I can't, I gotta
paint a house later.
Uh, you know what I got?
I got a lollipop.
-Watch this. You ready?
-[Sara] Candy for breakfast?
You ready? Look.
It'll disappear.
I got it and then it disappears.
Where did it go?
-It's behind your hand.
-I got it.
Then it disappears.
He's got it, he knows.
All right, you
can have it, okay?
I'll pick you up, okay, baby?
[Will]
See you later, little man.
[Sara] Thank you for getting
your backpack, honey.
What if I had a plan and
the money to back it up
[Sara] And what's that?
Move us to Myrtle Beach.
-South Carolina?
-Yeah.
[Sara laughs]
Baby, I got 10 grand
saved up, okay?
Pretty soon I'll have 20
and then we have
enough to get started.
I could finally open my
T-shirt shop, you know?
Yeah, that sounds nice.
[traffic humming]
-[car idling]
-[shifter cranks]
You want me to
pick you up later?
I thought you had
to paint a house.
Stop lying to him, Will.
He looks at me right
in the eyes, you know?
Yeah, and I've been sober 11
months 'cause of those eyes.
Look, I do have to make
a little money later.
I'll just walk.
Maybe if you let
me move back in,
I would know your schedule.
It's the same every day.
-[Will sighs]
-Listen, you get sober
and we want you to move
back in, all right?
Maybe we'll even
go to the beach.

[Carl groans]
Fuck you doing here?
[Carl coughs]
I can drive.
Get over there.
Get over!
[light chatter on radio]
[Carl coughing]
[Carl] I ran into Busty
at the number nine.
I got a shift back at
work if you want it.
You just tell if
it gets too good.
Man, I don't even know.
Look, I ain't a fucking
coal miner, Dad.
You took the classes, all right?
-It's good work--
-It's shit work!
Wait here. I'll think about it.
[coffee pouring]
[gentle music]
[Will] Morning, Boots.
[John] Will, what the hell
are you doing here?
John.
I'm just, you know, getting a
coffee for my dad.
Okay, so you're around.
Where's he at?
Just waiting for me in the van.
You know, I'm packing up my
parents' place right now.
I found this photo of us
right after we won that
Central football game.
Fuck, yeah.
You knocked that kid clean out?
Yeah, man.
Shit. Man, that
was a long time ago.
[John] Indeed.
[Will] Mm-hmm.
-Good times, though.
-Mm-hmm.
All right, you know, I
gotta give this to my dad.
Okay, yeah. You
say hi for me now.
I will.
-Bye then.
-[John] Take care now.
[Will] All right.
-All right.
-[door clattering]
-[Carl groaning]
-[Will] Fuck, man.
You all right?
What's your hold--?
-Nothing.
-Take me back to the park.
[Will] Hell no.
Help me or just get out.
Man, Mom already hates
me 'cause of this shit.
[Carl groans]
It hurts so bad.

[Carl groaning]
Where were you?
Just getting coffee.
[Donna] Oh yeah, I got
you some groceries.
Oh, and you got a
letter from the mine.
Disability excuse of the month.
-[Donna] I know.
-Hey, I can help--
[Donna] No, I can manage.
Thanks, Will.
Sure.

I'm never takin' em off
It is intoxicating
[indistinct chatter]
[Friend 1]] So, Will, how's Sara
been doing lately?
She's good. She's really good.
[Friend 2]
Hey, you remember that one time
picking her up outta the
park when she had nodded out?
Thought she was gonna
drown in her own vomit?
-[Will] Yeah.
-[Friend 2] Glad she made it out
[muffled trap music]
[upbeat trap music]
Shouldn't y'all be in school?
[Lisa chuckles]
[Lisa] You're
funny. What you got?
Oxys. 80s.
I want three of them.
She always like this?
Yeah, pretty much.
Where y'all from?
Uh, Butterfly.
Nothing going on out that way?
[Passenger] Uh--
[Lisa] Hell no.
But I like your hat.
What's your name?
What's your name?
Lisa Newton.
Well, Lisa Newton,
that's $240 for three.
[upbeat trap music]
Kinda high.
It's all there.
Careful, Lisa Newton.
You too, old man.

["Bad Imagination"
by Sunday Best]
I saw a story in
the stars last night
The sign in the
flickering light
You were leaving and
I was believing a lie
Til every time
That's the way
that it always goes
Line by line, the
tall tales grow
Like Homer and The Odyssey
I'm making fantasy foals
I'm letting my
bad imagination
Get the best of me
Lost in a daydream
I'm letting my
bad imagination
Get the best of me
Lost in a daydream
[soft, gentle music continues]
[Sara] Hey!
Sorry I'm late! Sorry,
sorry, sorry, sorry!
You waiting long?
No? You sure?
All right.
Hey, are we walking
or are we racing?
[Morgan] Racing.
Yeah?
All right.
On your mark.
Get set.
Go!
You're winning!
You're winning! You're winning!
Like, it was just
a picture of me
and like, I really looked like a
ghost
'cause like, I was really
blurry.
Whoa! Let me see
your best ghost face.
-Rawr!
-Okay, that is not a good--
What is a ghost
face then, tell me?
Oh my goodness, that
is a ghost face!
-That's really scary.
-Or this.
[light knocking on door]
Who's at the door?
Hold on one second.
What are you doing here?
[Will] I got him
something. I got--
-Okay, make it quick.
-[Will] Is he under there?
Yeah, he's under here.
Just make it quick.
I'm just gonna show
it to him, that's all.
[Sara]
All right, fine. Quick.
Morgan, honey, Daddy's here.
-[Will] Hey, little man.
-[Sara] Got something
to show you.
Look what I got you. Look,
it's a bow and arrow, okay?
My dad taught me how to
use a bow when I was a kid
and now I'm gonna
teach you, all right?
So you come through here, okay?
You put the arrow
right through there.
You line it up with that.
You pull it back.
Pew, you let it go.
You think you can do it?
Into the couch?
-All right, be careful.
-One, two, three.
[Sara] Okay. Oh good job!
[Will] Oh, see how far
that went?
That was a good one!
[Will] I need you to look
after this thing.
You need to keep it
forever, all right?
[calm, gentle music]
[Sara] What's this?
-[Will] Come on.
-[Sara giggles]
[Sara] This is nice.
Cozy.
Is he asleep?
Yeah.
I got an idea.
What's that?
I think we should take Morgan
to King's Island
for his birthday.
The theme park?
Yeah.
There's one in
Cincinnati. We could go.
Oh, that's like two states away.
It's four hours away, come on.
No way.
We can stay in a motel. Why not?
Too far.
Leave Hazard forever with me,
but not to Kings
Island overnight.
Hey.
[Will sighs]
You really got $10,000 saved?
Yeah.
And my dad's got
me a day of work
reclaiming up at
the mine too, so.
Mm.
Good for you.
Proud of you, Sara Bell.
Why?
Staying clean and all.
Mining's a good job for you.
Man, mining ain't for me.
Hey, you know what Morgan wants?
Yeah?
He wants Kings Island.
[Sara laughs] No.
You know that old train
set of your daddy's,
you told him about it?
My mom's.
You talk to her lately?
Can't let my dad buy
from nasty crank junkies.
Sorry, baby.
Baby.
Baby.
[gentle music]
Go and see your mom.

[Carl continues praying quietly]
[Carl crying out]
[Will] Dad?
[knocking on door]
Dad?
[banging on door]
-[Carl groaning in pain]
-Dad?
-[Carl groaning]
-Fuck, man.
Dad, you fucking
pissed yourself.
[Carl groaning in pain]
I'll get you to change
your pants, okay?
[Carl groaning in pain]
[Carl groaning in pain]
It's all right now.
It's okay. Come on.
[Carl groaning in pain]
Okay.
Now let's
roll over a little bit, man.
[Carl]
Just cook me up a pill.
Please.
[Carl groaning]
[Carl sobbing]
Please, it's the only
thing that helps.
Please. Please.
[sobbing] Please.
All right. Okay.

[Carl groaning]
Don't worry man, I gotcha.

Hey.

-[light chatter on TV]
[Carl breathing peacefully]
-[sirens wailing distantly]
-[light chatter over radio]
[tense music]
Aw, man.
[tense music continues]
We got one female deceased.
Looks like she's been gone
a couple hours already.
-You know her?
-Yeah.
That's Bob Newton's
granddaughter.
[John] You put any more thought
into that thing we talked about?
We just don't have the manpower
or the money right now.
I mean, come on. We
ain't gonna do nothing?
We're gonna sit around
and let kids die?
You stick somebody
on third shift,
we give you an extra guy.
[Bob] Hey, that looks like
my granddaughter's car!
Get him outta here. Come on.
[heavy music]
Come on, Bob. It's all right.
It's all right,
Bob. It's all right.
[heavy music fades]
I already talked to the
DEA guy down in Charleston,
said that Hazard's problem
doesn't have the
type of gang activity
or violent crime required
to send in the street
level enforcement team.
See, I wonder when
they're expecting
gangs to break out down here.
Oh, I spoke to the state too.
Yeah, no, they're more
underfunded than we are.
I don't know what to do.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Boots, run his back for me.
Boots, one more?
-Thank you.
-[glass rattling]
[car humming]
-[birds chirping]
-[dog barking in the distance]
[compelling music]
[John]
Let me get 25, 50 milligrams.
[gentle country music]
[phone beeping]
If this fucking thing
is even recording?
The blue indicator light.
Hey, man, lemme get
25, 50 milligrams.
25, 50 milligrams. Lemme get 25.
Hey, man, how you doing?
I haven't seen you in a while.
Lemme get 25, 50 milligrams.
[phone beeping]
Lemme get 25, 50 milligrams
at 40 bucks a pop.
I'll have to cover
the side tomorrow.
Camera B
If the suspect flees...
[relaxed music]
[Morgan giggling]
-[relaxed music continues]
-[calm vocalizing]
[Will] Hey, Mom.
[Donna] You promised not
to come here unannounced.
You are not
permitted in my home.
[relaxed music continues]
[Will] Mom, come on.
Come on.
[Donna] What do
you want, William?
[Will] Just-- Just let me in,
okay, Mom?
[Donna] So I can
catch you giving drugs
to your father again?
[Will] No.
[Donna] One of these days,
they're gonna find you
and your father dead someplace.
I'm clean, Ma.
[Donna] What did I
do to deserve this?
[eerie music]
I just wanted to get Dad's
train for Morgan. That's all.
Just wanted to get Dad's train.
[eerie music continues]
William, promise
me after you get it
that you won't come back.
[tense music]
[tense music fades]
[light music]
Hey, Rusty.
Officer John, how are you?
[John]
All right. How you?
Not too bad, man.
What can we do for you?
Well, I'm just looking around.
Nothing too specific.
Matter of fact, y'all
got any video cameras?
[Rusty] We don't have any
actual video cameras,
but we have a couple trail
cameras that may work.
I guess it just kind of depends
on what you need it for.
No, that actually might
be perfect for me.
Let's see here.
You mind if I open it?
[Rusty] Oh, yeah. Have at it.
What are the specs
on this thing?
They each have their own long
range antenna, night vision.
-Night vision?
-Night vision.
[John]
Oh, that's great.
[Rusty] Yeah, and you know,
you just kind of use
the Velcro in there to strap
it to a tree or something.
How many of these you got?
Uh, those are the last
two on the shelf.
Okay, yeah. I'm gonna
take both of those.
[Rusty] Okay.
[light music continues]
Is that the best price you
can do on the hunting stand?
It is on sale right
now, so probably, yeah.
I might be able to do
a little better on it.
Cool, I'll take all three.
[Rusty] All right.
["Moonshiner" by Max Godfrey]
and Elias Alexande Ah
Go out some dark holler
Gave you some booze
If
The revenue don't get me
Oh, money will I lose
Come
All you moon shiners
Stand all in a row
You look so
[pictures shuffling]
Why are you selling
that place anyway?
I mean, I don't like
being over there alone,
it's just... probably
get someplace smaller.
You ever think about leaving?
Leaving Hazard?
Yeah.
I mean, there is a time,
sure, when I thought I would,
but... [sighs] I don't know.
I don't think
it's in the cards for me now.
Well, I don't want any
of this shit, so burn it.
What is wrong with you?
They weren't the same with
me as they were with you.
You know that.
Whose fault was that though?
It's not my fucking fault.
Oh yeah, you just gonna keep
blaming everybody else, huh?
I'm not blaming anybody.
They didn't invite me over.
Not my son, not their grandson.
Never fucking
invited me or my kid.
Look, I'm not trying
to defend Mom and Dad.
Yes you is.
[John] They're still our
parents, all right?
This is our responsibility now.
It ain't my responsibility.
It's your house.
You still gonna get half
the money from the sale.
I don't want their
fucking money.
So what then, you just
want me to leave now?
-Shut up.
-[chair clattering]
[somber music]
[lighter flicking]
[somber music continues]
[light exhaling]
[car door creaking]
They were so slow in there.
My prescription is for 50 pills.
That's $40 a piece, okay.
It's $2,000.
I'll give you the money
tomorrow. Ms. Fitzer.
If anybody were to
find out about this...
No one will find out.
I promise.
Thank you, William.
All right.
Better get outta here.
[car door creaking]

[light cars whooshing by]
[loud rock music]
[loud rock music stops]
[door slams shut]
[light footsteps]
What are you doing here?
You smoking?
It's been a long day.
-Where's our boy at?
-[knocking on door]
He's with your mama, up
in Cumberland fishing.
I could have taken him.
I'm sure, with your
busy schedule.
I brought his train.
It's in the truck.
Why don't you stop by
later, give it to him?
You free till then?
Yeah.
What is it?
I don't feel good.
Come take a ride with me.
Where are we going?
[Will]
Oh, fucking anywhere.
Look.
Come on, get some fresh air.
Will be fun. Come on.
Come on.
- [Sara grunting]
- Come on.
[Sara]
Well, don't "come on" me.
Oh, you're gonna
have to carry me.
[Will]
I'm gonna have to carry you?
See?
Easy, easy.
You put on some weight.

[Sara] It all just...
It just all came back
to that, I don't get it.
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
[Will exhales]
[Will]
You'll feel better tomorrow.
Want me to show you
where I've been living?
No.
[Sara chuckles]
Is it nice?
It's beautiful.
It's probably the most beautiful
place I've ever stayed at.
It's got a mattress
on the floor.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
Come on.
[sensual music]
[Sara]
I was doing good, you know?
[sensual music continues]

Next.
Name?
[eerie music continues]
What's your name?
[bag rustling]
[eerie music continues]
[Friend 1] I was getting run
down by the police
and I was in the van and I
was going as fast as I could
and I said, "Look,
there's this one guy--"
[Bob] Anybody seen my
granddaughter Lisa Newton?
Somebody killed her.
You know, gave her some drugs.
Hey! I got some money.
[Voice Over Intercom] Dr.
Forest, dial 118, please.
Dr. Forest, please dial 118.
How much trouble am I in?
Well, I guess that
sort of depends
what you're talking about.
They gonna take him.
[John]
You can get him back.
You gotta go to court first.
When?
Most courts are so backed
up with drug cases,
be eight months,
could be a year.
Long time.
It's not as long
as going to jail.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
[sighing] I can get you in the
free clinic up in Corbin,
all right?
It's gonna be to your benefit.
If it's good for you, it'll
be good for my nephew, so...
Just let me know, all right?
I'll help you any way I can.
[Will] Hey, baby.
-Come on.
-[distant PA chatter]
[sighing] Come on.
Let's go, let's go.
Hey, Will.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I'll meet you in the car.
[John]] Come on.
Where did she get the pills?
Ah-- I don't know.
That's the mother of your
son you're talking about.
[tense music]
You gonna let her get in more
trouble than she's already in?
[Will sighs]
Hey, you know anything
about Lisa Newton?
[tense music continues]
Who's that?
That's the girl we
found dead in her car
by the cold tip of
the other night.
No.
[tense music fades]
[light chatter over PA]
-[chatter on TV]
-[cutlery scraping]
So you really fucked
up this time, huh?
Wanna eat now or later?
Stomach feels like
it's got a hole in it.
I don't wanna be here anymore.
Where the fuck do
you wanna be then?
Man, since when did
you get so emotional?
It's all over for me.
Don't fucking say that, man.
Just gimme me something.
Eat your food.
[Carl] Just gimme--
I know you got something.
-Shut up.
-[Carl] Just gimme something.
Shut up and eat
your fucking food.
-I know you got something.
-[Will] Eat your fucking food.
-Just gimme something.
-[Will] Eat your fucking food.
Come on, William,
would you just gimme--
I'm fucking done
getting you high!
I'm done!
-Yeah.
-Get the fuck outta my home.
Get the fuck outta my home.
Get the fuck outta here.
-Fuck outta my home!
-I'm fucking gone.
Go! Fuck!
Fine. Fine, I'm fucking gone.
[door clattering]
Fuck.
Fuck. Come back, William.
William!
[somber music]
[somber music continues]
[Will]
Thanks for agreeing to meet me.
But what the fuck
are we doing here?
Why not?
This field ain't
been used in years.
Not since they consolidated
the schools anyway.
I'm taking Sara to
rehab in Corbin later.
Thanks for that.
You know what this
plant's called?
Kudzu.
It's an invasive species, it
just swallows up everything.
Look, I just-- I want to know
what's gonna happen to Sara.
Can you believe we
used to play ball here?
She's in trouble, man.
She OD'ed with a kid at home.
[Will] Look, I gave her
the drugs, okay?
Just arrest me, man.
Oh, well, you can speak
on her behalf to the judge
when she has her day in court.
As will I.
John, there's gotta be
something you can do.
I can't just make this go away.
All right, then
tell me what to do.
I don't know.
You know, my whole
life people been like,
"Hey, John, can I have
some help with this?
Hey, John, you mind
helping me out?"
How come nobody ever says,
"Hey, John, what
can I help you with?
Hey John, are you
doing all right."
Man, what the fuck you
talking about, man?
[loud thudding]
[loud scuffling]
Okay, man! Fuck!
Shit, man.
[John breathing heavily]
We're fucked, man.
This whole town is dying.
Pretty soon, if
we ain't careful,
we're gonna end up just
like these bleachers.
We're gonna be obsolete.
We're gonna disappear.
You really want to help Sara?
You really want to help me?
Help yourself? Help this town?
Do you?
Fuck, man, I'm here because
I want to help Sara, okay?
Of course I want to help Sara.
All right.
Then there ain't no
going back on it.
Come on.
[tense music]
You can't tell
nobody about this.
Trust me, I won't tell anybody.
[John]
Good. I need corroboration.
What the fuck's that?
I need a witness, you,
to corroborate, confirm,
my investigation, all right?
Now I'm gonna show you some of
the footage that I've gotten
and you're gonna help
me confirm the identity
of the suspects and
the illegal activity,
and then we are going
to make a statement.
Now, who and what we find,
keep an open mind, all right?
You're here to educate me.
All right.
Look, man, I ain't
no fucking rat.
I'm gonna put your name in
as anonymous, all right?
You don't have to
worry about that.
Show me the tape. Go ahead.
All right, take a look at this.
That's Mr. Sawyer. Car salesman.
Look at this. Look at this.
Come here.
That lady?
Her name is Joy Reynolds.
-Yeah.
-[John] She lives in Ivy Dale.
-You know her?
-Joy, yeah.
She's a good fucking woman.
[John] All right.
Man.
Hey, fucking listen like
a human for a second, man.
She fucking gets beaten
by her fucking husband,
gets kicked out of the house--
The kids were
getting beaten too.
She lives in that fuckin' van.
She gets a script because
her old man broke her arm.
That's how she feeds her kids.
What the fuck are you
trying to achieve here
by fucking busting everybody?
I'm trying to make a difference.
I'm trying to help the town.
The town that I grew up in,
the town that I live in,
the town that my nephew,
your son, lives in.
You're barking up
the wrong tree, okay?
These people are not
the fucking problem.
You're going fucking crazy.
All right, what do you see?
'Cause I'll tell you what I see,
I see the park that we used
to play in when we was kids.
Listen, man.
We're not fucking
kids anymore, okay?
Will.
Will! Dammit.

Oh, no I can't!
Are you and Mom dying?
Huh?
Who told you that?
At school, they told us
how drug addicts die.
We're not drug people, okay?
Don't say that.
Promise me.

Now, you do that for
me and I swear to you,
that'll be the last

No, man.
No.
Hey, Will.
Please, look at me.
I need your help.
Man, I came to you because

Man, shit, look, I'll

No, man!

["Last Song" by Luke Powers]
[calm relaxed music]
Well, I probably
shouldn't drive home
But I'll be just fine
Long as I keep my
wheels in the lines
[calm relaxed music continues]
Most times it's easy
But right now I ain't sure
These roads keep on winding
Around in a blur
My name is Nora and I
have been in recovery
for right over two
and a half years.
I've been in sobriety for
five years the 27th of July.
For 23 months.
Six months.
August 3rd will make a year
Since June 11, 2022.
I got two years clean.
Been in and outta recovery
for about five years.
I've been clean for
three years now.
I was prescribed
medication in high school
and in middle school,
and I would take it to
school and trade it off.
And I didn't like
what I was prescribed,
but I liked what other
people were prescribed
and they liked what I had,
so it just worked out.
We would just trade scripts.
Well, the first time
I got high off Oxy,
I'd say I was...
I was 17.
And uh, actually I thought was
the best thing in the world.
I mean, I had more energy.
Uh, like I was
shy as a teenager.
It helped me cope with this,
hanging out with people.
I used it for anxiety
and everything.
But I mean, I'm not gonna
lie, I loved the feeling.
When Oxycontin came out,
I thought I'd found
my miracle drug.
It was like I was 10-foot
tall and bulletproof.
I didn't shoot up
until later on in life,
but I snorted a lot of pills.
I'd probably do
15, 20 80s a day.
I was 18, and I could
go to the doctor
and just tell 'em that
my back was hurting
and they wrote me
a prescription.
It got to where at first
I'd just try to sell
'em to my buddies,
and then when you get
strung out and you're sick
and you need just the money,
you'd sell to just anybody,
and I ended up selling
to an informant.
Yeah, I went to prison
for selling Oxycontins.
I got five years.
That's what I had to
do; every day of it.
As long as you got that high,
you can blow off
whatever's going on.
Whatever made you want to
get out in the first place,
it helps you forget.
And then after a while,
that's all you can think
about, is your next high.
I started drinking at 12.
My dad and me shared a
beer, and I hated it.
But it was the relationship
with him that I sought after.
Um, well, when I was younger,
at three years old,
I got raped and stuff like that.
They kept on leading me
back to the drugs and stuff.
In 2017, I lost my parents.
They kept on causing me to go
back to the drugs and stuff,
where I lost 'em and stuff.
The bad things that
happen to us in life,
you gotta change
your mind thinking,
change your heart and soul,
so you can forget
about it and stuff
without having to go
back to the drugs.
Um, I loved
feeling different.
I loved that.
And not different from
like other people,
but different inside.
I felt something.
I know I was eight
when I started using,
but it progressed
into other things
because I wanted the
attention of others.
So that's when I started
allegedly selling drugs.
So, you know monkeys
can't sell bananas,
so I ended up becoming
in full active addiction
by the age of 15.
I was IV user at 16.
And everything progressed
really, really bad.
I got consequences
and went to jail.
And then I got put in drug
court and it saved my life
because I was at
suicide every day.
If I woke up, I wanted to die.
I try to tell my
children all the time,
"Like, you're-- This shit runs
deep in both sides."
I'm an addict and their
fathers are addicts,
and I actually had one last
night, my 10 year old's dad,
he'd been sober almost 18 months
and he overdosed last night.
Yeah, it's been a
long day, but...
I think a lot of
people, they take a lot of,
addiction was the worst thing
that could have happened.
I have to disagree.
Addiction has turned me
into being a better person.
If anybody has anything
that happened to 'em
or anything like that, talk
about it, let it go and stuff.
Change your mind
thinking and stuff
because we don't
gotta live with the pain
and going through living using
drugs to cover up our pain.
And I truly believe that
I was gonna die using,
and I wanted to, I
was okay with it.
And I'm so glad I
was forced into it.
And I finally gave up.
Because I live a life
today that I never,
I never thought possible.
I never thought I was worth
the life that I have today.
And uh-- And today, it's
still unbelievable.
I cannot believe where I'm at.
I mean even just a year ago,
like...
if somebody told me I would
be where I'm at today,
I wouldn't believe it.
And so I'm just excited to see
how much further my life can go.
I dropped Jeremiah off
at my parents' house
for Tim and I to go out and
they knew I was gonna come back.
And 10 years ago, I dropped.
And not only did they know
I was gonna come back,
I knew I was gonna come back.
And 10 years ago, I had
a kid that I dropped off
and I did not come back for.
But now that kid is in
my life and so is he.
And so it's just like,
it's really cool, you know?
Whatever you want me to be
Then that's what I'll be
Wherever you want me to be
Then that's where I'll be
Waiting for you
Only if you want me to

Baby, I got 10 grand

Yeah, and I've been sober 11
months 'cause of those eyes.
Look, I do have to make
a little money later.
I'll just walk.
Maybe if you let
me move back in,
I would know your schedule.

by Sunday Best]
I saw a story in
the stars last night
The sign in the
flickering light
You were leaving and
I was believing a lie
Til every time
That's the way
that it always goes
Line by line, the
tall tales grow
Like Homer and The Odyssey
I'm making fantasy foals
I'm letting my
bad imagination
Get the best of me
Lost in a daydream
I'm letting my
bad imagination
Get the best of me
Lost in a daydream
[soft, gentle music continues]
[Sara] Hey!
Sorry I'm late! Sorry,
sorry, sorry, sorry!
You waiting long?
No? You sure?
All right.
Hey, are we walking
or are we racing?
[Morgan] Racing.
Yeah?
All right.
On your mark.
Get set.
Go!
You're winning!
You're winning! You're winning!
Like, it was just
a picture of me
and like, I really looked like a
ghost
'cause like, I was really
blurry.
Whoa! Let me see
your best ghost face.
-Rawr!
-Okay, that is not a good--
What is a ghost
face then, tell me?
Oh my goodness, that
is a ghost face!
-That's really scary.
-Or this.
[light knocking on door]
Who's at the door?
Hold on one second.
What are you doing here?
[Will] I got him
something. I got--
-Okay, make it quick.
-[Will] Is he under there?
Yeah, he's under here.
Just make it quick.
I'm just gonna show
it to him, that's all.
[Sara]
All right, fine. Quick.
Morgan, honey, Daddy's here.
-[Will] Hey, little man.
-[Sara] Got something
to show you.
Look what I got you. Look,
it's a bow and arrow, okay?
My dad taught me how to
use a bow when I was a kid
and now I'm gonna
teach you, all right?
So you come through here, okay?
You put the arrow
right through there.
You line it up with that.
You pull it back.
Pew, you let it go.
You think you can do it?
Into the couch?
-All right, be careful.
-One, two, three.
[Sara] Okay. Oh good job!
[Will] Oh, see how far
that went?
That was a good one!
[Will] I need you to look
after this thing.
You need to keep it
forever, all right?
[calm, gentle music]
[Sara] What's this?
-[Will] Come on.
-[Sara giggles]
[Sara] This is nice.
Cozy.
Is he asleep?
Yeah.
I got an idea.
What's that?
I think we should take Morgan
to King's Island
for his birthday.
The theme park?
Yeah.
There's one in
Cincinnati. We could go.
Oh, that's like two states away.
It's four hours away, come on.
No way.
We can stay in a motel. Why not?
Too far.
Leave Hazard forever with me,
but not to Kings
Island overnight.
Hey.
[Will sighs]
You really got $10,000 saved?
Yeah.
And my dad's got
me a day of work
reclaiming up at
the mine too, so.
Mm.
Good for you.
Proud of you, Sara Bell.
Why?
Staying clean and all.
Mining's a good job for you.
Man, mining ain't for me.
Hey, you know what Morgan wants?
Yeah?
He wants Kings Island.
[Sara laughs] No.
You know that old train
set of your daddy's,
you told him about it?
My mom's.
You talk to her lately?
Can't let my dad buy
from nasty crank junkies.
Sorry, baby.
Baby.
Baby.
[gentle music]
Go and see your mom.
[gentle music continues]
[upbeat music]
[Carl praying quietly]
[Carl continues praying quietly]
[Carl crying out]
[Will] Dad?
[knocking on door]
Dad?
[banging on door]
-[Carl groaning in pain]
-Dad?
-[Carl groaning]
-Fuck, man.
Dad, you fucking
pissed yourself.
[Carl groaning in pain]
I'll get you to change
your pants, okay?
[Carl groaning in pain]
[Carl groaning in pain]
It's all right now.
It's okay. Come on.
[Carl groaning in pain]
Okay.
Now let's
roll over a little bit, man.
[Carl]
Just cook me up a pill.
Please.
[Carl groaning]
[Carl sobbing]
Please, it's the only
thing that helps.
Please. Please.
[sobbing] Please.
All right. Okay.
-[Carl sniffing]
-[somber music]
-[Carl groaning]

[Carl groaning]
Don't worry man, I gotcha.
[Carl exhales]

Hey.

-[light chatter on TV]
[Carl breathing peacefully]
-[sirens wailing distantly]
-[light chatter over radio]
[tense music]
Aw, man.
[tense music continues]
We got one female deceased.
Looks like she's been gone
a couple hours already.
-You know her?
-Yeah.
That's Bob Newton's
granddaughter.
[John] You put any more thought
into that thing we talked about?
We just don't have the manpower
or the money right now.
I mean, come on. We
ain't gonna do nothing?
We're gonna sit around
and let kids die?
You stick somebody
on third shift,
we give you an extra guy.
[Bob] Hey, that looks like
my granddaughter's car!
Get him outta here. Come on.
[heavy music]
Come on, Bob. It's all right.
It's all right,
Bob. It's all right.
[heavy music fades]
I already talked to the
DEA guy down in Charleston,
said that Hazard's problem
doesn't have the
type of gang activity
or violent crime required
to send in the street
level enforcement team.
See, I wonder when
they're expecting
gangs to break out down here.
Oh, I spoke to the state too.
Yeah, no, they're more
underfunded than we are.
I don't know what to do.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Boots, run his back for me.
Boots, one more?
-Thank you.
-[glass rattling]
[car humming]
-[birds chirping]

[compelling music]
[John]
Let me get 25, 50 milligrams.
[gentle country music]
[phone beeping]
If this fucking thing
is even recording?
The blue indicator light.
Hey, man, lemme get
25, 50 milligrams.
25, 50 milligrams. Lemme get 25.
Hey, man, how you doing?
I haven't seen you in a while.
Lemme get 25, 50 milligrams.
[phone beeping]
Lemme get 25, 50 milligrams
at 40 bucks a pop.
I'll have to cover
the side tomorrow.
Camera B
If the suspect flees...
[relaxed music]
[Morgan giggling]
-[relaxed music continues]
-[calm vocalizing]
[Will] Hey, Mom.
[Donna] You promised not
to come here unannounced.
You are not
permitted in my home.
[relaxed music continues]
[Will] Mom, come on.
Come on.
[Donna] What do
you want, William?
[Will] Just-- Just let me in,
okay, Mom?
[Donna] So I can
catch you giving drugs
to your father again?
[Will] No.
[Donna] One of these days,
they're gonna find you
and your father dead someplace.
I'm clean, Ma.
[Donna] What did I
do to deserve this?
[eerie music]
I just wanted to get Dad's
train for Morgan. That's all.
Just wanted to get Dad's train.
[eerie music continues]
William, promise
me after you get it
that you won't come back.
[tense music]
[tense music fades]
[light music]
Hey, Rusty.
Officer John, how are you?
[John]
All right. How you?
Not too bad, man.
What can we do for you?
Well, I'm just looking around.
Nothing too specific.
Matter of fact, y'all
got any video cameras?
[Rusty] We don't have any
actual video cameras,
but we have a couple trail
cameras that may work.
I guess it just kind of depends
on what you need it for.
No, that actually might
be perfect for me.
Let's see here.
You mind if I open it?
[Rusty] Oh, yeah. Have at it.
What are the specs
on this thing?
They each have their own long
range antenna, night vision.
-Night vision?
-Night vision.
[John]
Oh, that's great.
[Rusty] Yeah, and you know,
you just kind of use
the Velcro in there to strap
it to a tree or something.
How many of these you got?
Uh, those are the last
two on the shelf.
Okay, yeah. I'm gonna
take both of those.
[Rusty] Okay.
[light music continues]
Is that the best price you
can do on the hunting stand?
It is on sale right
now, so probably, yeah.
I might be able to do
a little better on it.
Cool, I'll take all three.
[Rusty] All right.
["Moonshiner" by Max Godfrey]
and Elias Alexande Ah
Go out some dark holler
Gave you some booze
If
The revenue don't get me
Oh, money will I lose
Come
All you moon shiners
Stand all in a row
You look so
[pictures shuffling]
Why are you selling
that place anyway?
I mean, I don't like
being over there alone,
it's just... probably
get someplace smaller.
You ever think about leaving?
Leaving Hazard?
Yeah.
I mean, there is a time,
sure, when I thought I would,
but... [sighs] I don't know.
I don't think
it's in the cards for me now.
Well, I don't want any
of this shit, so burn it.
What is wrong with you?
They weren't the same with
me as they were with you.
You know that.
Whose fault was that though?
It's not my fucking fault.
Oh yeah, you just gonna keep
blaming everybody else, huh?
I'm not blaming anybody.
They didn't invite me over.
Not my son, not their grandson.
Never fucking
invited me or my kid.
Look, I'm not trying
to defend Mom and Dad.
Yes you is.
[John] They're still our
parents, all right?
This is our responsibility now.
It ain't my responsibility.
It's your house.
You still gonna get half
the money from the sale.
I don't want their
fucking money.
So what then, you just
want me to leave now?
-Shut up.
-[chair clattering]
[somber music]
[lighter flicking]
[somber music continues]
[light exhaling]
[car door creaking]
They were so slow in there.
My prescription is for 50 pills.
That's $40 a piece, okay.
It's $2,000.
I'll give you the money
tomorrow. Ms. Fitzer.
If anybody were to
find out about this...
No one will find out.
I promise.
Thank you, William.
All right.
Better get outta here.

[light footsteps]
What are you doing here?
You smoking?
It's been a long day.
-Where's our boy at?
-[knocking on door]
He's with your mama, up
in Cumberland fishing.
I could have taken him.
I'm sure, with your
busy schedule.
I brought his train.
It's in the truck.
Why don't you stop by
later, give it to him?
You free till then?
Yeah.
What is it?
I don't feel good.
Come take a ride with me.
Where are we going?
[Will]
Oh, fucking anywhere.
Look.
Come on, get some fresh air.
Will be fun. Come on.
Come on.
- [Sara grunting]
- Come on.
[Sara]
Well, don't "come on" me.
Oh, you're gonna
have to carry me.
[Will]
I'm gonna have to carry you?
See?
Easy, easy.
You put on some weight.

[Sara] It all just...
It just all came back
to that, I don't get it.
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
[Will exhales]
[Will]
You'll feel better tomorrow.
Want me to show you
where I've been living?
No.
[Sara chuckles]
Is it nice?
It's beautiful.
It's probably the most beautiful
place I've ever stayed at.
It's got a mattress
on the floor.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
Come on.
[sensual music]
[Sara]

[bag rustling]
[eerie music continues]
[Friend 1] I was getting run
down by the police
and I was in the van and I
was going as fast as I could
and I said, "Look,
there's this one guy--"
[Bob] Anybody seen my
granddaughter Lisa Newton?
Somebody killed her.
You know, gave her some drugs.
Hey! I got some money.
[Voice Over Intercom] Dr.
Forest, dial 118, please.
Dr. Forest, please dial 118.
How much trouble am I in?
Well, I guess that
sort of depends
what you're talking about.
They gonna take him.
[John]
You can get him back.
You gotta go to court first.
When?
Most courts are so backed
up with drug cases,
be eight months,
could be a year.
Long time.
It's not as long
as going to jail.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
[sighing] I can get you in the
free clinic up in Corbin,
all right?
It's gonna be to your benefit.
If it's good for you, it'll
be good for my nephew, so...
Just let me know, all right?
I'll help you any way I can.
[Will] Hey, baby.
-Come on.
-[distant PA chatter]
[sighing] Come on.
Let's go, let's go.
Hey, Will.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I'll meet you in the car.
[John]] Come on.
Where did she get the pills?
Ah-- I don't know.
That's the mother of your
son you're talking about.
[tense music]
You gonna let her get in more
trouble than she's already in?
[Will sighs]
Hey, you know anything
about Lisa Newton?
[tense music continues]
Who's that?
That's the girl we
found dead in her car
by the cold tip of
the other night.
No.
[tense music fades]
[light chatter over PA]
-[chatter on TV]
-[cutlery scraping]
So you really fucked
up this time, huh?
Wanna eat now or later?
Stomach feels like
it's got a hole in it.
I don't wanna be here anymore.
Where the fuck do
you wanna be then?
Man, since when did
you get so emotional?
It's all over for me.
Don't fucking say that, man.
Just gimme me something.
Eat your food.
[Carl] Just gimme--
I know you got something.
-Shut up.
-[Carl] Just gimme something.
Shut up and eat
your fucking food.
-I know you got something.
-[Will] Eat your fucking food.
-Just gimme something.
-[Will] Eat your fucking food.
Come on, William,
would you just gimme--
I'm fucking done
getting you high!
I'm done!
-Yeah.
-Get the fuck outta my home.
Get the fuck outta my home.
Get the fuck outta here.
-Fuck outta my home!
-I'm fucking gone.
Go! Fuck!
Fine. Fine, I'm fucking gone.
[door clattering]
Fuck.
Fuck. Come back, William.
William!
[somber music]
[somber music continues]
[Will]
Thanks for agreeing to meet me.
But what the fuck
are we doing here?
Why not?
This field ain't
been used in years.
Not since they consolidated
the schools anyway.
I'm taking Sara to
rehab in Corbin later.
Thanks for that.
You know what this
plant's called?
Kudzu.
It's an invasive species, it
just swallows up everything.
Look, I just-- I want to know
what's gonna happen to Sara.
Can you believe we
used to play ball here?
She's in trouble, man.
She OD'ed with a kid at home.
[Will] Look, I gave her
the drugs, okay?
Just arrest me, man.
Oh, well, you can speak
on her behalf to the judge
when she has her day in court.
As will I.
John, there's gotta be
something you can do.
I can't just make this go away.
All right, then
tell me what to do.
I don't know.
You know, my whole
life people been like,
"Hey, John, can I have
some help with this?
Hey, John, you mind
helping me out?"
How come nobody ever says,
"Hey, John, what
can I help you with?
Hey John, are you
doing all right."
Man, what the fuck you
talking about, man?
[loud thudding]
[loud scuffling]
Okay, man! Fuck!
Shit, man.
[John breathing heavily]
We're fucked, man.
This whole town is dying.
Pretty soon, if
we ain't careful,
we're gonna end up just
like these bleachers.
We're gonna be obsolete.
We're gonna disappear.
You really want to help Sara?
You really want to help me?
Help yourself? Help this town?
Do you?
Fuck, man, I'm here because
I want to help Sara, okay?
Of course I want to help Sara.
All right.
Then there ain't no
going back on it.
Come on.
[tense music]
You can't tell
nobody about this.
Trust me, I won't tell anybody.
[John]
Good. I need corroboration.
What the fuck's that?
I need a witness, you,
to corroborate, confirm,
my investigation, all right?
Now I'm gonna show you some of
the footage that I've gotten
and you're gonna help
me confirm the identity
of the suspects and
the illegal activity,
and then we are going
to make a statement.
Now, who and what we find,
keep an open mind, all right?
You're here to educate me.
All right.
Look, man, I ain't
no fucking rat.
I'm gonna put your name in
as anonymous, all right?
You don't have to
worry about that.
Show me the tape. Go ahead.
All right, take a look at this.
That's Mr. Sawyer. Car salesman.
Look at this. Look at this.
Come here.
That lady?
Her name is Joy Reynolds.
-Yeah.
-[John] She lives in Ivy Dale.
-You know her?
-Joy, yeah.
She's a good fucking woman.
[John] All right.
Man.
Hey, fucking listen like
a human for a second, man.
She fucking gets beaten
by her fucking husband,
gets kicked out of the house--
The kids were
getting beaten too.
She lives in that fuckin' van.
She gets a script because
her old man broke her arm.
That's how she feeds her kids.
What the fuck are you
trying to achieve here
by fucking busting everybody?
I'm trying to make a difference.
I'm trying to help the town.
The town that I grew up in,
the town that I live in,
the town that my nephew,
your son, lives in.
You're barking up
the wrong tree, okay?
These people are not
the fucking problem.
You're going fucking crazy.
All right, what do you see?
'Cause I'll tell you what I see,
I see the park that we used
to play in when we was kids.
Listen, man.
We're not fucking
kids anymore, okay?
Will.
Will! Dammit.
[door lock rustling]
[indistinct muttering]
Fuck.
[truck starting up]
Say nothing.
You better not saying
nothing to nobody.
[Will] Fuck off, man.
Fucking crazy.

Hey.
We can go home.
I mean, it's no big deal.
Nah.

Have you heard from your father?
No.
Check on him after

Let me take that.
Ready to go to school?
Yep!
Remember when you
used to walk me?
Bye, Grandma.

[Will]
Kick it, kick my back foot,

You gotta...
Huah!
Come on, you gotta
be faster than that.
Punch my hand.
I'm too strong. I can take it.
Oh, no I can't!
Are you and Mom dying?
Huh?
Who told you that?
At school, they told us
how drug addicts die.
We're not drug people, okay?
Don't say that.
Promise me.
Promise?
You promise you're
not gonna say that?
All right. Come on.
Treat each other right
And find fulfillment
in this life
Drink the peaceful

You're gonna grow up

-Are you? Are you?
-[Morgan giggling]
-[Morgan giggling]
-You swear.
It's time for your bath, Morgan.
Can Dad take me?
[Donna] It's getting late.
I'll just run the water

[sniffs]
Yeah?
I'll race you.
Go!
[footsteps thudding]
[quiet humming]
Bath's run.
Ready to go.
-Fuck's that?
-[loud thwack]
[Donna] You have no idea how
this got in my house?
You killed your father,
and you're gonna kill Sara.
Just kill your damn self
so that little boy has a chance
to be something in his life.
Get out.

-That's not gonna happen
fucking again.
-[Sara] I get that--
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow is another day.
I'm fucking sick too.
Baby, we can be sick together.
That's fucking fine.
I'm not going to
feel better tomorrow.
-[loud clattering]
-I can't!
Just stay fucking

[Sara] For Morgan, like I did
fucking everything for Morgan!
Everything and

There's a doctor.
He's illegally selling
pills out of his office.
Fuck's that got to do with me?
I need you to make a
purchase, all right?
Now, you do that for
me and I swear to you,
that'll be the last
time I bother you.
No, man.
No.
Hey, Will.
Please, look at me.
I need your help.
Man, I came to you because
your sister needed your help.
She still needs your
fucking help, man.
She still needs your help.
Sara?
[door slams shut]
Sara?
Fuck, man. Where is she.
[truck rumbling]

[Will] Sara!
Sara, what the fuck

Sharing needles with these guys?

["Last Song" by Luke Powers]
[calm relaxed music]
Well, I probably
shouldn't drive home
But I'll be just fine
Long as I keep my
wheels in the lines
[calm relaxed music continues]
Most times it's easy
But right now I ain't sure
These roads keep on winding
Around in a blur
My name is Nora and I
have been in recovery
for right over two
and a half years.
I've been in sobriety for
five years the 27th of July.
For 23 months.
Six months.
August 3rd will make a year
Since June 11, 2022.
I got two years clean.
Been in and outta recovery
for about five years.
I've been clean for
three years now.
I was prescribed
medication in high school
and in middle school,
and I would take it to
school and trade it off.
And I didn't like
what I was prescribed,
but I liked what other
people were prescribed
and they liked what I had,
so it just worked out.
We would just trade scripts.
Well, the first time
I got high off Oxy,
I'd say I was...
I was 17.
And uh, actually I thought was
the best thing in the world.
I mean, I had more energy.
Uh, like I was
shy as a teenager.
It helped me cope with this,
hanging out with people.
I used it for anxiety
and everything.
But I mean, I'm not gonna
lie, I loved the feeling.
When Oxycontin came out,
I thought I'd found
my miracle drug.
It was like I was 10-foot
tall and bulletproof.
I didn't shoot up
until later on in life,
but I snorted a lot of pills.
I'd probably do
15, 20 80s a day.
I was 18, and I could
go to the doctor
and just tell 'em that
my back was hurting
and they wrote me
a prescription.
It got to where at first
I'd just try to sell
'em to my buddies,
and then when you get
strung out and you're sick
and you need just the money,
you'd sell to just anybody,
and I ended up selling
to an informant.
Yeah, I went to prison
for selling Oxycontins.
I got five years.
That's what I had to
do; every day of it.
As long as you got that high,
you can blow off
whatever's going on.
Whatever made you want to
get out in the first place,
it helps you forget.
And then after a while,
that's all you can think
about, is your next high.
I started drinking at 12.
My dad and me shared a
beer, and I hated it.
But it was the relationship
with him that I sought after.
Um, well, when I was younger,
at three years old,
I got raped and stuff like that.
They kept on leading me
back to the drugs and stuff.
In 2017, I lost my parents.
They kept on causing me to go
back to the drugs and stuff,
where I lost 'em and stuff.
The bad things that
happen to us in life,
you gotta change
your mind thinking,
change your heart and soul,
so you can forget
about it and stuff
without having to go
back to the drugs.
Um, I loved
feeling different.
I loved that.
And not different from
like other people,
but different inside.
I felt something.
I know I was eight
when I started using,
but it progressed
into other things
because I wanted the
attention of others.
So that's when I started
allegedly selling drugs.
So, you know monkeys
can't sell bananas,
so I ended up becoming
in full active addiction
by the age of 15.
I was IV user at 16.
And everything progressed
really, really bad.
I got consequences
and went to jail.
And then I got put in drug
court and it saved my life
because I was at
suicide every day.
If I woke up, I wanted to die.
I try to tell my
children all the time,
"Like, you're-- This shit runs
deep in both sides."
I'm an addict and their
fathers are addicts,
and I actually had one last
night, my 10 year old's dad,
he'd been sober almost 18 months
and he overdosed last night.
Yeah, it's been a
long day, but...
I think a lot of
people, they take a lot of,
addiction was the worst thing
that could have happened.
I have to disagree.
Addiction has turned me
into being a better person.
If anybody has anything
that happened to 'em
or anything like that, talk
about it, let it go and stuff.
Change your mind
thinking and stuff
because we don't
gotta live with the pain
and going through living using
drugs to cover up our pain.
And I truly believe that
I was gonna die using,
and I wanted to, I
was okay with it.
And I'm so glad I
was forced into it.
And I finally gave up.
Because I live a life
today that I never,
I never thought possible.
I never thought I was worth
the life that I have today.
And uh-- And today, it's
still unbelievable.
I cannot believe where I'm at.
I mean even just a year ago,
like...
if somebody told me I would
be where I'm at today,
I wouldn't believe it.
And so I'm just excited to see
how much further my life can go.
I dropped Jeremiah off
at my parents' house
for Tim and I to go out and
they knew I was gonna come back.
And 10 years ago, I dropped.
And not only did they know
I was gonna come back,
I knew I was gonna come back.
And 10 years ago, I had
a kid that I dropped off
and I did not come back for.
But now that kid is in
my life and so is he.
And so it's just like,
it's really cool, you know?
Whatever you want me to be
Then that's what I'll be
Wherever you want me to be
Then that's where I'll be
Waiting for you
Only if you want me to
