[distant shouting]
[police sirens]
Oh, okay. Hold on, hold on man–
Hey, what’s going on? Chill man.
I was here 8 months ago. Can you please just check your papers?
Okay.
Okay, you’re gonna do it or?
Yeah.
Like now?
Just a second.
What do you mean a second, I’ve been here like 5 minutes.
Okay.
This isn’t my watch.
What the fuck are you talking about?
No, mine is a Seiko.
And this, is a Casio.
That’s the fucking watch you left here eight months ago.
I know the watch I left, and it wasn’t that one.
Now get the fuck out of here before I call someone.
Bloodsucker.
Beat it, loser.
Fuck off!
[door opening and closing]
Hi, can I help you?
What do you got?
Can you put it in the drawer, please?
[dog barking in the distance]
Thank you.
Midcentury French.
Looks like imitation.
Not worth a lot.
Well, at least it’s ticking.
Hello?
Argh!
[suspenseful score]
[gun clicks]
[door slams]
[enters code]
Hey.
You can be all over that, I know you’re not.
Come on, man.
I thought she was jacking you, to be totally honest.
Are you kidding me?
Nah, I’m kidding.
[gunshots]
[grunting]
[bones cracking]
Hands up!
Everybody out! Move! Move!
Get the hell out on the ground!
[women screaming]
Move! Get out! Get the fuck down! On the ground!
There’s nothing left!
There’s nothing left!
You have to believe me.
We moved it all to the headquarters this afternoon.
You don’t have to do that.
Last chance.
I’m telling the truth.
There’s nothing left!
Left.
[screams in pain]
[sobs]
I’m telling the truth.
Right.
[screaming]
And… center.
I’ll tell
I’ll tell-I’ll tell you where it is.
I’ll tell you where it is.
[grunts]
Hurry up.
[laughs]
Oh!
It won’t be long before the Albanians get here. Let’s go!
You guys don’t even know who you’re stealing from, do you?
You’re so gonna regret–

Okay.

Yeah.
[grenade safety pin falls]
[screams]
[explosion sound]
Mmm. Can you smell it?
Can you smell it?
Woo!
Start a new life!
Shit.
With this amount of money, you could start a whole bunch of fucking lives.
[chuckles]
[applause]
Problems?
Smooth as silk, just like you planned.
All right, everybody.
No fuckups.
Lay low. Keep to your routines.
Don’t meet one another.
Make sure no one’s sniffing our trail.
On the 10th, we get across to Rez.
And as usual, split the money.
Yes!
Woo!
Mr. Rhodes, just to say thank you very much for giving me a second chance to be a part of this.
Take care of the car.
Boom.
New pilot?
What happened to Finn?
Finn is no longer with us anymore.
Hmm.
Got the last one.
[beeping sound]
[plane door closing]
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Easy does it.
Come on, motherfucker, come on.
Shit!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Ugh!
Ah!
[crashing sound]
[thunder and wind]
[crow cawing]
[beeping sound]
[birds chirping]
[hooting]
[water dripping]
[loud sigh]
[crow cawing]

Ugh.

[melancholic score]
[ticking sound]
How’s his temp?
101.
Clinic get his meds?
Not yet Keep him cool.
Plenty of water Honey, 20 years ago, I brought your fever down.
So don’t tell me what to do.
Thank you, Carol.
You’re a lifesaver.
He’s family to me. Both of you are.
[melodic score]
You know, your grandmother would have been proud.
Fuck no. She would’ve killed me for putting on this uniform.
Half the Rez still wants to.
Forget those bellyaches.
Always complaining.
You’re doing good things, Ani.
I know it.
[car engine starts]
And I just wanted to go at it.
But Jim dives in, chasing after Mornin’!
his favorite hook.
Ugh, fellas, this is Annie.
Hi.
She’s taking over Tom.
And uh, get this, she’s real Native American.
Oh, wow. Blackfeet?
Blackfoot.
Blackfoot. Right.
Hey , well, nice to meet you. We’re just headed out.
Yeah.
Lakes closed, guys.
On whose authority?
On my authority.
Right. Come on, cut us some slack here.
We just drove for 75 miles.
And the ice is still blue.
It was clear yesterday.
It’ll be gray tomorrow.
Less than four inches thick.
Early thaw.
Climate change, y’know?
Climate’s always been changing.
It’s called weather.
You can’t go out.
And who’s gonna to stop us?
You?
She’s cute.
[laughs]
[clears throat]
Oh yeah!
Yeah, boy.
Oh, no. Ani, Ani, Ani. Hey, Ani.
Hey, you can’t treat any tourists this way.
I mean, they bring in good money.
Are you serious?
They’re good folks, all right? Let’s just be a little bit more accommodating.
You want me to talk to them?
No.
Hey, what the fuck, lady?
Wait, wait, wait! Ho-hold up.
Guys, she’s got a job to do, all right?
But look, I’m sure if we play nice, she’ll take it off.
Am I right, warden?
The choice is yours.
You’re fucking kidding me.
Okay. No fishing.
We get it.
[chuckles]
Uh, Jed Matuzak just called in.
He said his truck’s stuck out there in the middle of a lake, about three miles east of the old mill. Yeah, I’ll head out there now.
Oh, uh, and by the way, a bunch of us are headed out to Slippery Rock tonight if you want to join.
Little man’s sick.
Rain check, then.
[car engine starts]
We’re all sinners.
I was a sinner.
But, uh the Lord, he forgives a sinner.
Luke tells us that, uh, sinning is human.
But if you do sin, then you gotta repent.
Like he said in that story about the son who took his inheritance and then whored and gambled and did all the wrong things…
He returned home, prodigal, he called him.
But the father, he welcomed the sinner son back and the kid, well, he repented.
And so they threw a big party for him.
Really, what I’m-what I’m saying is that… repentance can lead to redemption.
For our Lord has space in his heart for sinners, for sure.
Let us pray.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
You have a moment for a sinner, Father?
No sins I can help you with.
Oh, it’s something you definitely can.
The tracker was tripped, Pen.
Yesterday out on the lake.
That plane disappeared almost six months ago.
Never made it to the other side of the Rez.
Twenty million dollars is under that ice.
So, I’m thinking the tracking device leads us to the sunken Cessna.
We have diving equipment.
Go for the suitcases, and that’s it.
Nothing against the law.
Nothing against Jesus.
Nah…
You’re a native.
So we could use you as a guide.
Help us with your people on the ice.
[laughs] My people…
You owe us.
Sirena and Ellis.
Mmhmm.
Dax is on the other side of the lake.
[Ridin’ by Deepak Ramapriyan]
We’re a team again.
Just like the good old days.
Come on.
That’s blood money.
Yeah, well, there’s a little blood on every dollar bill.
Don’t you think?

About ten hours before this starts melting.
The tracker’s moving on the ice.
Could be the current shifting it.
Or maybe somebody else is out there.
The fuck you mean “somebody else”?
Who’d you tell about the money, Pen?
I didn’t tell anybody about the money.
Come on, man.
Yeah, all right.
Let’s move.
Morning.
[door closes] Morning.
I hit one of those… warm currents.
No worries, Jed.
The ice gave way.
I can get you out of there.
Thanks.
How’s Martha?
Miserable.
But she is married to me, after all.
[laughs]
That is true.
Who’s that?
It’s Harlan.
I passed him a ways back.
You know him?
I’ve seen him from time to time.
Hmm.
He lives off the land.
Looking for his wife.
Yeah.
He’s a poacher, then, huh?
I see you got help already?
Mmhmm.
You been fishing?
Yeah.
What’d you catch?
A couple of walleye, a perch.
Got a license for this?
Gonna take a look.
It’s just fishing gear, and…
Uhh, no, don’t
[beeping]
The fuck is this?
I-I found it.
You found it?
Where?
It’s
It was…
Under the ice.
Under the ice?
Okay.
I was gonna…
I’m gonna need you to take off your backpack, slowly.
Hands up where I can see them.
[backpack falls]
Place them on the cab of the truck. No sudden movements.
Did I do something illegal?
Hands on the truck.
You have any weapons? Anything sharp?
Knife.
Bow’s in the sled.
Hands behind your back. Come on.
Ma’am, I don’t understand.
Mmhmm.
Stay there.
Jesus, boy.
You clean out the casino?
Sheriff Raleigh, this is Ani.
Check. I just arrested a poacher. Name of Harlan–
What’s your last name?
Fanshaw.
Harlan Fanshaw.
I’m about 40 minutes out.
Just send me your location.
It’s no problem, Ani.
A whole suitcase full of cash. Millions.
You said how much money?
Yeah, a real fucking win on the lottery.
You expecting some more help?
[car approaching]
Hey folks, uh, lake’s closed.
Early thaw.
You should turn around for your safety.
I think you’ve got something of ours.
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
No?
Okay.
Get on your fucking knees.
Now.
Hey, D.
Now.
Thought you said no violence, man.
There is no violence.
Search the truck.
Let’s just get the money-Search the fucking truck.
Okay.
Who’s the prisoner?
Just a poacher.
How we lookin’?
[beeping sound] There’s one case.
Where’s the rest of it?
There’s… there’s more?
Ah…
You mind telling me?
I don’t know.
You don’t know?
No? Okay.
I don’t know.
Left. Ugh!
[suspenseful score]
[gunshot]
[car engine starts]
[grunts]
Go!
[grunts]
Ahh!
Ah!
Ah!
[grunts]
Argh!
Ugh!
[car driving away]
[suspenseful score]
[grunts]
[laughing]
Well fuck me, Drake.
I thought you were dead.
Ev-Everybody in the SUV.
Looks like the tire got hit by a bullet You two fix the tire.
Serena, call Dax.
Tell him to get to them from the north. Yeah?
Fuck!
They said “Where’s the rest of the money?”.
Where’s the rest of the money, and who the fuck are they?
There’s a plane.
Plane where?
Where I found the case.
Under the ice.
There’s more money in the plane?
And you’re a part of it?
What are they doing?
Drugs? Weapons? What?
I just live on the land.
Yeah, Jed told me some bullshit about your wife.
I found the case.
I saw the plane. That’s it.
I was supposed to check fishing licenses, not shoot and get shot at.
I’m not made for this shit.
[phone ringing]
Hey Sirena.
From the north?
I’m on my way, babe.
Raleigh.
Come in, Raleigh.
Yes Ani, talk to me. We got multiple shooters on the ice. Jed’s dead. What? You’re shitting me.
Jed’s dead, Raleigh. Me and the poacher got away, but they’re coming. Send help now.
Shit, Ani. Who the hell are they? The poacher, is he anything to do with this?
I-I-I don’t know. Maybe.
Okay, listen. Uh…
Head for station 11.
I-I’m calling for backup. I’m on my way.
I’m coming. Copy that.
[car breaking down]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No. No!
What the fuck!
Fuck, no!
Fuck!
You got a plan?
Get to station 11.
How far is that?
Two miles.
On foot, that’s too far.
We’re not gonna make it.
They got wheels.
Any suggestions?
We gotta split up. They can’t follow both of us.
It’s not happening.
If either of us go under, we’ll both drown with these on.
Come on.
Got a bullet for you if you try anything.
Hurry.
Okay, let’s go.
Keep 50 feet apart.
[owl hooting]
Oh, man.
That was bad luck.
[scoffs]
Do you believe that bullshit?
A long time ago, five or six warriors were chased out here by thirty soldiers from the 1st American Regiment.
Soldiers had guns. The natives knew the lake .
Warriors pushed them right out into the center.
When night came, the ice had melted. The soldiers started to panic.
In the middle of the night, God brought his wrath down upon them and, they all burned to death.
Their charred bodies found days later, half frozen in the ice.
You’ve become a fucking bedwetter, Pen.
You need to turn that God shit off.
You see, I believed in him once, but there’s money out there.
And now that we finally get a hit on the signal, you want to quit?
It’s not worth it, bro.
The fuck it isn’t.
Ready!
[scoffs] You want to leave, be my guest.
Start walking.
But Rhodes is the devil.
And we made a deal with the devil.
You know the consequences.
People have lived on this land for over a thousand years.
We know our forest.
We know the ice.
Those murderers have no idea what they’re walking into.
[distant sounds of rustling]
You know how to walk the gray ice?
The weak stuff?
Some.
We’re clear!
Got him. Ellis, start the truck. Let’s move!
Ellis, give us some fucking gas, let’s go!
No, no, no. The ice will give. Ellis, don’t.
I’m getting out.
No, you’ll sink it.
Ellis, stay still.
Make a line. Hold each other’s hands.
Furthest out on the strong ice.
It’s going to sink and take us with it.
Just do as he fucking says, okay?
Ellis, now move slowly to the other seat.
Slowly.
Ugh, ah!
I got a bad feeling about this, Pen.
Don’t worry, stay calm.
We’re getting you out.
The Irish say a bullet’s made for each of us the day we’re born.
The Irish are born liars.
I’m tossing you the belt. You hang on.
[groans]
We’re going to get you out, stay calm!
No!
Don’t let go!
Pull! Pull!
Holy shit!
My foot’s caught!
Don’t let go. You hear me? Don’t you let go.
[suspenseful score]
Ah!
Ahh!
Hang on.
[grunts]
Hang on, you hear me?
Fucking pull.
Grab it, grab it, grab it, grab it!
Pull!
[screams]
[sobs]
[breathes heavily]
Hey.
It’s this way.
[speaking Siksika]
Yes, I’m sure.
Where’d you learn to speak Blackfoot?
My wife.
So she is real.
We’re not going to reach help in time.
Sheriff’s coming.
We’re not going to make it to him either. Listen.
Listen, of here. I got some gear.
We should head there.
[wind whooshing]
Ice is melting faster that way.
I know, but if we make it there, at least we have a chance.
By doing what?
What I do.
Hook.
Come on.
[ice cracking]
What happened?
They’re up ahead.
Hey, they’re moving quick.
We’re losing a millimeter of ice every 30 minutes.
Yo, Dax, let’s get the snowmobile down.
You can get to them faster.
Put some fucking clothes on.
We’ll take the truck around the weak ice and meet you at the shore.
The hide’s over there. How many rounds you got left?
I’m out.
What?
Never tell a suspect you’re out of bullets.
Police academy.
Whoa, wait. Shit.
The ice is too thin.
The cars will pull us under.
We’re going to have to go around.
[sound of snowmobile in the distance] Nah, let’s run for it.
Okay.
Okay, you ready?
[ice cracking]
[snowmobile approaching]
[groans]
[grunts]
Is this your family?
Yeah.
I have a son about that age.
He’s at home now. He’s sick.
Here, hold this.
Where did you get these?
[wind whooshing]
[clanking noise]
Do you hear that?
Fuck.
I only got that one shitty arrow, so I got to get him off that snowmobile if I’m going to get a shot.
[grunting]
[sound of engine approaching]
Get ready to run!
[gunshots]
Run!
Ahhh!
Ugh!
Ahh!
[grunting]
Gahh!
[bone breaking]
[ice cracking]
[gargling sound]
Ah! Ahh!
[ice cracking]
[muffled gunshot sounds]
[muffled gunshots]
Ah!
Now tell me where the fucking plane is!
Ahhhh! Ahhh!
[shrieking and screaming]
[panting]
Ahhhh!
Ah! Ah! Ahhh!
[shrill screaming]
Okay? Are you okay? Are you okay?
They’re gonna come for us.
Ahh!
[moans of pain]
Okay.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
[panting]
We gotta get you someplace warm.
I know a place.
Let’s go.
Look at the snowmobile.
Where the fuck is he?
Dax!
Where the fuck is he?
Sirena?
Dax!
Honey!
Honey?
Honey, hey, honey!
[metal creaking]
Ugh!
[suspenseful score]
What? What?
It’s not fucking fair!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Okay, okay.
It’s gonna be okay.
[sobs] They’re gonna pay for this.
It’s gonna be okay.
Yo, I think they went this way. Up here.
[panting]
I can’t feel my fingers.
There’s a hide up here in the forest.
Not many know about it.
Harlan!
[grunts]
[gunshots]
[gunshots] The woman!
Not the poacher. We need him for coordinates.
Fuck!
Come on.
Ellis! Pen! Let’s go!
[suspenseful score]
We’re leaving a trail.
Come on, we have to lose them.
There, there. Let’s go, come on.
[suspenseful score]
She knows what she’s doing.
They’re in the water!
That way.
[shivering]
This way! Come on!
Move, let’s go!
Wait, wait, stop!
What?
It’s a medicine wheel.
Sacred.
Yeah.
This is a hunting ground.
It’s bear country.
Oh, fuck off.
So what you’re saying is we shouldn’t be here.
Hey, I don’t give a fuck about your woo-woo shit.
Let’s go!
Guys, hold on!
I’m gonna get them and I’m–
Ahh!
Fuck! Ahh!
Sirena! Ah, fuck!
Fuck! Goddamn it.
Get me the fuck out!
Ahhh! Ohhh!
Here, get behind me.
Fucking help me, guys!
All right, give me your hand.
Give me your hand! I need fucking help or something.
You have to pull your foot out.
You’re gonna have to pull your foot out. Fuck you, Pen!
Hey! Hey! Hey! I’ll pull you out Fuck, ah, ah! Oh my God.
[panting]
Ellis, grab her arm.
Here.
Okay, okay. Okay.
You ready?
Yeah.
Let’s go.
One, two, three.
Let’s go!
Ahh!
Okay guys, let’s go!
Okay.
Ah!
Fuck, okay.
You good?
I got it. I got it. Ah!
[mysterious score]
Come on.
It’s up here.
Missing fuel.
Watch your head.
[panting]
Get your clothes off. All of them.
No fire.
They won’t find us here.
We’re too deep in the caves.
Ah.
Ah.
[wind howling] Mhm.
Ah, goddamn it.
[gunshots]
Come on.
Okay, come on.
Mhm.
Fuck!
I got it. I got it.
Whew.
All right.
Careful.
Just figure this out.
Ah!
Turn the light on.
Do it!
Alright.
Fucking do it!
You good? Yeah?
Ah!
[painful moans]
Ah!
Oh God.
Oh, my God. Ah!
Ugh!
Mhm…
Almost, almost. Ugh.
Ah. Fuck.
I’m gonna fucking kill them!
We lost them.
They’re long gone by now.
Yeah, well, fuck this.
Come on.
[shivering]
Ugh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Is it true?
Uh?
What Jed told me about you?
Looking for your wife?
I’m not looking for her.
She’s dead.
Fuck, Drake.
It’s on me.
No. Stop with that bullshit.
We’re a team.
And we’re stronger as a team.
We’ll get them.
It was too much money to keep everyone together as a team, I mean…
Everyone had their different plans.
Me and Dax, We were gonna…
We were gonna…
Hey, come on, Sirena.
I don’t see you wiping no babies’ asses.
[chuckles]
No.
[sniffles] Sure.
She O-O-Ded.
[soft score]
It’s not like she’s a junkie, you know. She-We-We lost oour daughter, Kai.
I wawas in Afghanistan.
She got some kind of infection.
Lung.
Her little heart just…
Little heart just stopped.
II came home…
It was like Mia was already gone.
She wouldn’t let me touch her.
She stopped talking till the house was just just silent.
It was dead.
I mean II don’t know what the fuck to do with the pain.
So i-it’s like I blow my brains out or I drink. So I-I-You know, I just stayed drunk.
I don’t know how long she’s been dead when I found her.
She was already cold.
This place is…
It’s the only place where I feel close to her.
[wolf howling]
Yeah, yeah, I know.
But for almost fucking drowning in that car today, I deserve this.
You think there’s a chance at a second life?
You gotta grab what you can in your first one.
That’s my opinion.
I used to think that.
Until I found God.
Chances are too high he doesn’t exist.
[car approaching]
Now, Rhodes, though…
He exists for sure.
Mr. Rhodes.
Thank the heavens you’re here.
Look, Mr. Rhodes.
I know how this looks, but we got everything under control.
She begs to differ.
It’s just a game warden and a poacher.
This was not meant to happen.
They killed him.
They killed Dax.
They will pay for this.
It’s quillwork.
It’s beautiful.
She said it contained her love.
She wanted me to wear it if I went on a mission.
Said it would bring me home safe.
Some pretty powerful medicine.
Bear.
It’s my spirit guide.
Do you know what hers was?
It’s a bear, too.
[chuckles] And you’ve never felt her spirit?
I mean III think about her all the time.
My people, we have a cleansing ritual.
Helps us mourn our loved ones.
And then afterwards, we move on.
We keep living.
You can’t bring Mia back.
But you can let go of the guilt.
She wants you to live, Harlan.
And you know that.
You know what I’ve discovered over the years of working together?
Is that home isn’t a place.
It’s the people.
It’s what we have right here.
Family.
And when you have family, you have no fear.
You can handle just about anything.
Take our youngest, Ellis.
I found you on the streets.
Took you in.
Taught you everything.
Yes, you’re… you’re still a little young and wild.
Misbehaving at times.
[chuckles]
But hey, that’s the privilege of youth.
But then again, loyalty is expected even from the cutest puppy.
You can imagine my surprise when I met that fag friend of yours in that shithole village by the lake.
What was his name, huh?
Yes, Ethan.
Mr. Rhodes. I–
Shh.
After three fingers, he admitted that he was here to steal the money.
From us.
[blade flicks open]
After two more fingers, he told me that it was you.
That you had planned this.
Mr. Rhodes.
[sobs]
This isn’t what it looks like. I’m sorry–
Family.
Should we forgive a misstep?
Pen.
What does your God say?
Should one be allowed to fail, to be weak?
Isn’t it truly divine to condone?
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Hey!
It’s all right.
It’s okay.
I-I’m sorry.
[sharp, wet stab]
The answer is no.
Mercy is weakness.
And you’re a piece of shit, Ellis.
[coughs]
You don’t deserve to be part of this group of wonderful people.
[cries]
Tomorrow we kill the warden.
And then the poacher.
They’ll come to us.
Don’t you worry.

You really know your way around here.
As a little girl, the elders would teach us how to hunt out in the woods.
And we’d go back to the caves and eat and sleep.
You know, life was simple.
I can’t believe I never heard about this place.
Oz!
You come with me.
And you stay here.
Him. He tried to kill her.
He killed her.
No, he didn’t.
And then you take him here to this secret spot?
I didn’t mean to–
It’s on me to just–
Is there a problem?
Oz…
They’ve been tracking us.
He says he knows you.
He doesn’t like you.
You dragged his niece out of the community.
Took her to the city.
That’s not what happened.
Got her addicted to drugs.
No, I-I-I-I-I told you, we–
We lost our child.
I watched Mia grow up.
She was like family.
She was happy.
But you, you took her away.
I didn’t take her.
We loved each other.
If it wasn’t for you, she’d still be alive.
Fuck you for saying that.
Stop it.
We do not have time for this.
Oz, these people are chasing us.
They’re trying to kill us. They shot Jed.
You’re kin. You have a duty.
Not to him.
He’s my prisoner. He’s with me.
You and I share the blood of our people.
But when this is over…
Come on.
Our people believe that spirits are in the sky and in the wind.
And under the water.
Those are the ones we fear the most.
Hidden in the dark, away from the sun, there’s a dead forest under this lake.
Ten thousands years ago before the Napikwan came.
See that?
It’s methane. Explosive gas in those bubbles.
I, uh, think I’ll go this way.
So watch your step.
You stay close.
[car unlocks]
What is this place?
Ice shanties.
They call it the Empty Quarter.
I know you have licenses for all this.
It’s our land.
You know, my grandparents asked me one time, how many generations does it take to lose your connection with the land?
After looking at you, I know the answer.
Who are you to say anything about my connection?
You’re a weekend tour guide.
You sold out.
I’m protecting our home.
I’m protecting what belongs to all of us.
Well you lost all of us.
Why don’t you help yourself to some food back there?
Take all you want. We have lots.
And get the hell out.
So, um, where we going?
Cleaning your mess.
There you are.
Hey.
This place.
We could hide out here.
It’s way off track.
You know what they call us.
Sellout. Curse.
They don’t want us here.
Listen, this crew that’s chasing us, they’re after me because I know where that plane is.
There’s no reason for you to put yourself at risk.
My land, my people, made a promise to protect them.
You’re on my land, right?
Besides, finally got reception.
Sheriff Raleigh’s on his way.
He’s 15 minutes out.
We’re going home.
[suspenseful score]
[dogs barking]
Oz?
I’m so sorry.
We got some unfinished business, aye, Chief.
Listen, I-I wanna–
How dare you bring your fucking poison back here to my land?
[door closing in the distance]
Listen, um–
I want you to know that the crew that’s chasing us, they-they’re looking for this plane that’s at the bottom of the lake.
It’s filled with cash.
Millions, probably. And they’re chasing us because I know where it is but, I don’t want that money.
And I was thinking…
You know, maybe you, your people, Mia’s tribe… maybe…
So, uh… you think you can buy us off and change your luck, hm?
I’m not trying to pay you off.
Trying to do something right.
Ah, shit.
[crow cawing]
Pen… life isn’t like a choo-choo train… where you can get off at any station and then move on to your own liking.
My God wants us to repent and be reborn.
I had an interesting conversation with Ellis about that yesterday.
About the choices in life.
I’d like to forego my share of the money, Mr. Rhodes.
No.
Please. All I wanted–
No.
Ellis, I loved.
You…
I don’t even like.
Only God can forgive me or give me the punishment I deserve.
Well… whatever we have coming, it’s coming fast.
Oh, Pen.
Choo-choo!
[chuckles]
[car approaching]
Jesus…
What happened here? I’ve been looking all over for you.
Five guys jumped us, they–
He play any role in this?
No, he helped. He helped.
You sure?
Yeah, he helped me.
Alright.
Look, I called it in. Backup’s on the way. But we gotta go.
Okay. How much backup?
Enough.
So, where did it happen?
They attacked out on the middle
No, no, no.
I mean where is it?
Where’s what?
Headquarters wants to know where that plane is.
How’d you know there was a plane?
You mentioned it when we were talking on the radio.
Pretty sure I didn’t.
Listen to me.
This is a very important moment.
Alright?
One that you’re gonna look back on years from now and realize how wise you are in telling me exactly what I need to know.
Not you, Raleigh…
Come on, we can make out real good here, Ani.
This isn’t like you.
Why are you doing this?
Come on. It’s their money, Ani, just–
We’re giving it back, for Crissakes.
How much are they giving you?
Five percent of whatever’s on that plane.
Five percent. I’d gladly split it with you.
Yeah, if we give them Harlan, right?
You’re such an asshole.
Hey, hey, backup, backup!
Give me the gun.
Stand down, Oz.
I’m the sheriff, alright?
Get in the goddamn car, let’s go!
You too.
Come on.
Nobody try anything.
Give me the bag.
Give me the–
Get in the car.
[car door slams]
There’s nothing to worry about here, all right?
Everything’s under control.
It’s gonna be okay.
Where are we going?
Where’s the plane?
Fuck you, Raleigh.
You good, man?
Something take the edge off?
Yo, man.
It’s methane, you idiot. You’re gonna blow the whole lake.
Methane?
Hey, listen, man.
After we get this money, everything will be all right.
There.
That’s the sheriff.
You got him to bring them here?
Sheriff.
You realize handing me over to them, you’re giving up millions of dollars.
Why would you do that? I can just take you to the plane.
Okay. Where is it?
I’m gonna need your word that you’re gonna let us go.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have my word.
I got a GPS tracker in the backpack.
It’s got the coordinates in it.
It’s in the top pocket.
If you’re lying to me…
Ahhhh!
Damn it!
[groaning]
Ani, Ani?
You okay?
Yeah.
You okay?
Fine.
Look at me.
Okay.
Okay. Shh.
Why’d you do this?
Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Back!
Wait.
You betrayed me, Ani.
Sheriff.
Hey.
You don’t want[gunshot] No
Nobody…
Nobody’s betrayed anyone.
This can’t be serious.
Don’t do anything stupid.
Why?
Fuck! Fuck, come on. Come on.
[gunshots] You shot the sheriff.
Poacher’s mine.
Don’t kill him!
[gunshot]
Okay. Hey, stay down.
[suspenseful score]
[gunshots]
[gunshots]
Get the fuck over here.
Rhodes!
[groans]
What do you want me to do?
[groans]
You, poacher, lead us to the plane.
Oh yeah?
Now.
And Pen, kindly dispose of the lady.
But I thought that–
Do it.
No.
Do your own dirty work.
The fuck, Pen?
You’ve killed over a hundred people, and now your God won’t allow this one?
Fuck you, Rhodes.
Ah!
[grunts]
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Rhodes!
There’s a second chance.
There always is.
Ah!
Rhodes!
Your jacket! Your jacket!
Choo-choo.
Ah! Help!
Help! Ahh!
Ah! Ah!
Run!
Get on the ground, Rhodes!
Get on the ground!
Ahh! Ahh!
Argh!
Harlan!
Ahhh!
Harlan!
Ani?
Ahhh!
[screams of pain]
[groans]
Ani?
Poacher!
Poacher!
All you had to do was tell us where that plane was.
New deal.
You lead me there.
And you both live.
You have my word.
Word of a killer.
Best I can do.
Now, where’s my money?
Hmm?
Lady? Poacher?
J-J-Just let her go.
Mhm-hm.
[gun clicks]
Left!
Ah!
Wait, wait!
[moans in pain]
Ahh!
Get up.
Get the fuck up.
Wait. Listen.
Look at him.
Fuckin’ look at him!
Remember, he’s the one killing you.
Not me.
Y-you-you’ll get what you want.
I-I’ll show you!
Right!
[gunshot] Ah!
Ah!
Ugh!
Ugh!
[painful moans]
The plane, poacher.
Where’s the fucking plane?
Fuck you.
Wrong answer.
Ugh!
Ah!
[clanking noise]
Last chance, poacher.
Where is it?
[groans]
Where’s the fucking plane?
Ughh!
Ah!

He’s been out there on his own for four days.
He’s fasting.
[melodic score]
Okay, Harlan.
[speaking Siksika]
[speaking Siksika]
[in English]
It’s okay to grieve.

[spiritual score]
[whispers]
Aaah!
It’s okay. I heard the Staties found the plane.
Found four million dollars.
They were expecting 20 million.
That’s a lot of money.
Did Harlan give it to you?
You know there’s an old saying that uh, the earth does not belong to man, but man belongs to the earth.
Hum. Aye.
That’s a Facebook meme.
Where’d the money come from for the new community hospital, Oz?
Oh, ice fishing.
You wanna see my license?
[chuckles]
[melodic score]
And this?
You gotta put this in here.
This. And then it’s gonna be in the water.
And the other fish is gonna get it, on this reel. Okay?
And the yellow one?
Mommy, mommy!
Look what he gave me!
Look at all the different baits he gave me!
You okay?
Yeah.
Let’s see what you got.
So this red one is for the big fish.
Oh boy! And this is for the little fish? That’s great!
The blue is for the small ones.
Oh, yeah.
Can I go fishing with Harlan sometimes?
Is Harlan teaching you the right way to do it?
Please Mom, please!
