"Don't wanna seem like we're rushing things right now." "You good with that?" "It makes a bunch of sense to me." "It does." "But I had a thought." "Maybe we keep to the schedule." "I grew up down the road, and this is a small town." "There's been a tragedy here, and people need time to mourn." "They don't need bad news on top of bad news." "What these people need isn't time to mourn, ned." "It's jobs." "Am I making any sense?" "If not, you just tell me to shut up. (chuckles)" "So I spoke to the governor's office." "They are behind us 100%." "They want shay mountain mined." "But?" "But they won't get the state police involved," "So we'll have to work with the locals for now." "Bottom line, it's an election year." "He's scared of the press." "Big, evil coal company taking people off their land." "Well, it isn't their land." "It's ours."

"(chuckles)" "(ignition cranks)" "(clicking, cranking)" "You know, I can't tell if you want me to stay" "Or if you're trying to get me killed." "I thought you were the smart one." "Least you could do is help me find a vehicle for it," "Pit-fight being your idea, after all." "What?" "You didn't make any money down there?" "You can't just go buy one at the..." "What's it called?" "Dealer?" "Come on, g'winveer, I know I don't owe you a damn thing," "But I need your help." "I am helping you." "Asa, we both know that you don't have a chance in hell of winning this thing," "But losing and getting sent back down there?" "That's better than getting your throat cut in your sleep." "Yeah?" "How the hell do you know?" "Thank you so much for joining me." "I know how busy you must be." "But we're gonna be working together on this eviction" "So I thought, well, let's break some bread." "I've always been friends of y'all, you know that." "(muffled) mmm, I do." "So there's one thing I wanted to mention." "Mmm, I heard, sheriff, (sniffles)" "That our colleague's son was sold some moonshine from the farrell clan." "Did you know that young man was number two in his class?" "It is just so, so sad." "Farrell wine, I think they called it." "I can't really discuss that." "Oh, no." "Of course not." "I just thought you might wanna know" "In terms of what it might mean regarding public perception." "Perception of..." "You." "Throwing those people off that mountain's not gonna win you any popularity contests." "(chuckles) I'm aware of that." "Now what if there was something else in that jug?" "Such as?" "Pcp?" "Methamphetamine?" "Maybe the farrells are cooking something nasty up there." "And if that were true," "Not too many folks around here would oppose your eviction of them" "Or, for that matter, your re-election." "(sighs) sundry apologies, cousin." "For what?" "Never could play the piano." "I confess to be the one who told foster, two jars gone light." "Never thought he'd go pure crazy on you like that." "You just wait till his ma passes on, you wanna see pure crazy." "Let me see it." "It's fine." "I can scent the suppuration from here, hasil." "(exhales)" "You need medicine." "We all do." "G'win gave me some already." "Not that kind." "(water pouring)" "(inhales sharply)" "(inhales sharply)" "Ah..." "Wade, I've been thinking." "Well, that's your first mistake, boss." "That kid said he was drinking that moonshine, right?" "Yeah." "I think we gotta look into that." "(mutters)" "I mean, what what do you mean?" "Like a "selling alcohol to a minor" type of thing?" "I mean, we got bigger fish to fry." "Where were you this morning?" "Uh, caleb was sick." "He was off color." "I didn't know if I should take him to school," "But he's all right." "Maybe they put drugs in that wine." "You ever thought of that?" "Maybe they's up to something we ought to be more aware of." "Like what, sheriff?" "I mean, all they're making..." "Wake up, wade." "Goddamn it." "I need you to find me that 'shine he drunk." "That's what I need right now." "We clear?" "Yes, sir." "Greetings, cousin." "I didn't mean to cause undo surprise." "What can I do for you?" "I'm craigin o'farrell." "I knew your parents before they passed." "(sighs) oh..." "Supplied them with their wine from time to time." "Uh, krake, yes." "Oh, sorry." "There's something I'd like to show you." "(sets hammer down)" "(birds cawing)" "(krake sighs)" "I am, I suppose, a man of science." "I don't know from prophecy and demons and so on." "But I do believe what you say about them coming for us." "(grunts)" "We need you to win that pit-fight." "Asa?" "We need you with us." "(ignition cranking)" "(cranks)" "And you go at him with this." "And he does the same." "Now the first one to fall off, touch the ground, loses." "Anything else?" "Any rules?" "(sighs)" "(laughs)" "Come in low, then go high." "All right." "Or..." "Or..." "Or..." "Start up here" "And then swing it around down here and get him right there in the shin." "(ignition cranking)" "(engine starts)" "(engine rumbling)" "(engine revving)" "You see that?" "You see that, fa?" "Took it clean off." "Why don't you get up there, bhradain?" "See what you got." "Maybe you best let your cousin take a shot at this, son." "What you saying?" "This here's my fight." "You slowed down since I last saw." "Maybe it's time to step aside," "Let someone else in." "He's the best there is, uncle foster." "Go on, get on down from there." "You heard me." "Give him the stick, boy." "(engine starts)" "(engine revs)" "(door opens)" "Hasil:" "Hello, there." "No, I'm not trying to frighten you." "My name's hasil." "It's hasil farrell." "Now I know I'm not supposed to be down here," "But I just walked half a day down the mountain to see you." "Wanna know something else that's interesting?" "No." "Since the last time I seen you, I got me a job." "Great." "It's the truth." "A job doing what?" "(hesitatingly) sales?" "Sales?" "I think they call it." "You know, the problem is, after I got paid, I was..." "I was robbed, so all I got left is this." "(laughs) what were you sellin'?" "Little of this, a little of that." "What happened to your car, sally-ann?" "It's not mine." "It's my brother's." "Oh, yeah?" "So you walkin' then?" "Where you goin'?" "Out that way." "That way?" "You going up over the bridge?" "Mmm-hmm." "Oh, you mean, coon holler?" "That is not nice." "Why not?" "Isn't that what it's called?" ""coon holler?"" "People don't call it that anymore, for your information." "At least nice people don't." "Why?" ""coon's" not a nice word, okay?" "Be like if I called you a dumb redneck or something." "Well, where do you live?" "Hillbilly holler?" "Hickville?" "See what I mean?" "You don't even know what I'm talking about, do you?" "(chuckles)" "(carrot snaps)" "So you never did answer my question, sally-ann." "What question is that?" "You got a boyfriend?" "Maybe a husband?" "(laughs)" "I never even, like, been on a date." "Okay, and what does that mean?" "What's a "date" mean?" "You know, like, when you go to a restaurant or something." "So like courting'?" "Yeah, courting'." "Courtin', date." "Okay." "(chuckles)" "What happened to your hand?" "(softly) just..." "Nothing." "Just an accident, that's all." "It don't look so good." "Well..." "You got doctors up there?" "Got something like it." "Yep." "What about schools?" "We heard you can't read." "That true?" "(stammers) it's funny you should ask." "Actually, I'm..." "I'm learning." "(laughs)" "What?" "What you laughing about?" "I just realized that you probably don't even watch tv." "You don't even know who katy perry is." "The only thing I know about her" "Is that she ain't half as pretty as you." "(chuckles)" "Well..." "Thanks for walking me home." "Hey, can I take you on a date?" "(chuckles)" "Fa." "What you want?" "To talk to you." "'bout?" "'bout the pit-fight." "Bhradain's gonna do it." "(sighs)" "He can't do it." "He ain't ready." "A dead rat could beat that lostie." "Now listen." "I know you think I ain't got no fight in me." "Maybe you got good reason to believe that, too," "But here it is." "I'm your only son now." "So I'm gonna beat that boy tomorrow," "Beat him good For elon." "All right." "You go and do it then." "Right." "But..." "If you lose," "You're not my son no more." "No." "There weren't any drugs there." "Oh." "Are you sure?" "Not as far as I could see." "(sighs) tyler kept trying to get everyone to, like, drink his moonshine." "Were they drinking' it?"
