Broken Angel (2023) Movie Script
1
(traditional music)
(birds chirping)
I can't do it.
Get up there.
Okay, one more time faster.
Yes. Cool.
Good job.
I knew you could do it.
(soft ambient music)
What?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
(ominous music)
Mom, let's go.
[Earl] I worked all damn day
I should come home to a clean house.
Where were you?
[Angel] I got a ride into
town with Sam to get groceries.
[Earl] That's bullshit.
[Angel] I swear.
[Earl] What, are you
sleeping with Sam now?
[Angel] Stop Earl, please.
[Earl] You're worthless,
you should consider yourself lucky
that I put up with your lazy whoring ass.
Stop.
It's your fault you
don't let us do anything.
She can't breathe, she can't breathe.
- Hey, hey, come on.
- Mom.
Wake up, it's okay, she's fine.
She's fine, just give her a minute.
- She's fine.
- Wake up.
(tense ambient music)
Gracie.
There you go.
(Angel coughs and gasps) -
You could have killed her.
You make me do this, you come in here
and it's like, you're looking for a fight.
- She does not asshole.
- Shut the fuck up.
No, no.
Go to your room.
No Earl.
I'm your father, don't
fucking call me that
go to your room right now Tanis.
Please, baby girl just go.
I'll be okay.
[Earl] Go to your room.
Now.
(suspenseful music)
Hey.
Hey.
Angel.
[Tanis] Mom.
Sorry.
(bell rings)
(eerie music)
(thunder rumbles)
Careful.
(Earl coughs)
Glad you're feeling better, honey.
(glass clanks)
I wish he was dead.
Tanis.
(Angel sobs)
Mom, I think I saw Gracie.
(Angel sniffles)
What are you talking about?
Forget it.
Come on, let's get you cleaned up.
(tense ambient music)
What do you mean you saw Gracie?
It was nothing.
You remind me of her, you know?
How did Gracie die?
You still don't think I'm old enough.
What was she like?
She was insane, okay.
She was always talking
about ghosts and shit.
Okay and what else?
Why won't you talk about them?
I don't have anything to say.
Angel knows what to do
if there's an emergency.
He's breaking our Angel.
Why aren't you doing anything?
I'm trying to understand.
Just stop him, you have to stop him.
Earl is drinking every night now.
(eerie music) (Tanis exclaims)
What?
What's wrong?
Is he awake?
Did you hear that?
What?
(Tanis hums)
(door closes)
(ominous music)
It doesn't have to be this way.
I just want a little appreciation.
I'm sorry.
(suspenseful music)
Angel.
Angel.
Good morning.
Rough night?
You need a little more makeup right there.
What?
I think it's time for Tanis to get a bra.
Okay.
I can take her.
It'd be good to get into the city.
Oh, you wish.
I'll take her after work.
Tanis.
(thuds)
Tanis, stop messing around.
[Gracie] Why aren't you doing anything?
Stop him, please.
You broke my wing.
- You broke my wing.
- Jesus, Gracie.
Hey look, we can fix it later.
Stay with me.
I can't, I can't.
Angel.
So just one pill, understand?
One.
Yes, only one, okay.
Yes daddy.
You scared me.
Who were you talking to?
[Angel] What?
You woke me up, you were
having a full on conversation.
Guess I was dreaming.
Can I sleep with you?
I love you, mom.
Love you Angel.
Oh, don't scare her away old man.
(breathes heavily)
Hey, any mail?
One from Frankie.
You said we'd go see him
when I'm older, I'm older.
We don't have a car.
Man baby does.
Jail's not a good place for kids.
More than here?
Hungry?
Why is Frankie in jail anyway?
Did he hurt Gracie or something?
Mom.
[Frankie] My dear Angel,
I feel like a broken record,
but it would be nice if you wrote me back.
I hope Tanis is well.
I miss you and I can't wait to...
(door opens, closes)
Tanis, dinner.
[Tanis] I'm not hungry.
Any mail?
Just junk.
(soft music)
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
Why?
You seem off.
Hey, don't fucking lie to me.
(thuds)
Tanis.
Why is she slamming these fucking doors?
(knock on door)
If it's Earl, you can drop dead.
Brought you a cookie.
What's wrong?
This house, my life.
(traditional music)
(Tanis hums)
Leave us alone Gracie.
(Angel grunts)
Hey Frankie.
Yeah.
A buddy saw Angel in town.
She looked all banged up.
(tense ambient music)
Isn't that nice?
(man chuckles)
(eerie music)
I'm a prick.
I'm sorry.
It won't happen again, I promise.
You mean everything to me.
You remember when we first met?
(both laugh)
I couldn't get that goofy grin off my face,
for like weeks and weeks.
I'm still that guy
I'm trying.
I got you something
It's like that one from
your picture upstairs.
The one your mom's wearing.
I thought you'd like it.
What do you think?
I did good huh?
Poof.
Let's go shower.
Lets.
This freaking house.
You're a freaking zombie.
Mh?
I can't remember the
last time I saw you laugh
or go out with your friends.
Oh wait, you have no friends.
You don't have to be nasty.
Do you realize that all my memories
are of you getting your ass kicked?
Why don't you do that to him?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
[Frankie] Dear angel, how are you?
Sorry for what happened that horrible day.
Please know that she was sick for long.
And I think about you and Tanis every day.
How's my old farmhouse keeping up?
Great news, my parole
hearing is coming up soon.
I've been here for two extended sentencing.
I can't stand to know
that he is hurting you.
How is Sam, our neighbor?
He promised me he would look out for you.
I've sent him money to fix up
one of his old cars for you.
I'm sorry, mom.
For me slapping you?
Is this all you see when you look at me?
I see you.
My mom.
You've never really seen me though.
You're kind of broken.
That's not a bad thing to say, is it?
Broken.
My teacher talked about Kintsugi
when they put broken
pottery pieces back together
and mend it with the powdered gold.
You're kind of like that,
flawed but beautiful.
We need to be ready for next time.
Can we go back to sky door?
Dorothy was so nice.
There's not gonna be a next time.
What?
What's funny?
Nothing.
Where's my dinner?
I'm late.
Food's ready.
(door opens, closes)
Why would he think you'd want this?
You hate Gracie.
I never said I hated her.
He's such a dumb ass.
Earl's trying I guess.
I can't wait to go home.
I like being on the Res.
You've been there
once, it's not your home.
I've been there long enough to know
it's way better than here.
So mom, all the girls are
going to a self defense class
in town tonight, it's like 10 bucks.
Monica's mom's picking me up soon.
Can I go?
Mom?
Hmm?
I need some money.
My wallet's over there.
You should come with us.
Learn some moves, kick some Earl ass.
No, I'm good.
Doesn't it suck me being here all alone?
You need to hide this better.
I gotta go.
Love you.
(door closes)
(eerie music)
What the hell?
(Angel groans)
Tanis, I swear.
(ominous music)
Fuck my life.
[Frankie] I hope Tanis is well.
I miss you and I can't wait to meet her.
A buddy of mine said
someone saw you in town
and you were banged up.
Tell that man of yours to
keep his hands off you or else.
Anyway, I know I haven't
been there for you.
You haven't been there at fucking all,
but I know I'm being there for
you now, I'll be home soon.
Who's fucking home?
I pay the fucking bills in this house.
What's wrong?
- What the fuck is this?
- It's nothing.
I told you to tell me
if there was any mail.
It's just from my dad.
How many more of these are there?
- None.
- What?
[Angel] None.
- Don't fucking lie to me.
Don't.
Earl.
Where is it? I know it's here.
Right, your dad knows how to write you.
Piece of shit just like you, where is it?
I know it's in here.
You're always hiding shit from me.
Oh, you bitch.
Earl, don't please.
Please don't.
You're gonna kick me
outta my own fucking house?
No.
(Angel exclaims)
Is anything else you wanna tell me?
No.
No, please.
No, you're hurting me.
Don't.
Get off me.
(Gracie screams)
You fucking coward.
Does hitting my mom make
you feel like a man?
(Earl grunts)
Oh, fuck.
(Earl pants)
(Angel gasps)
Get him out of my house.
(glass clanks)
My God, Tanis.
Oh no,
I'm done.
We're leaving
(door opens)
Here, take this.
Sam said he'd have the car ready for us.
Remember what we talked about?
Go to Sam's garage and whatever
you do, don't wake Earl.
Okay, careful.
(indistinct chatter on TV)
You don't have to stay
here if you don't want to
anymore Gracie.
Be careful.
Goddamn man baby truck.
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
(Angel exclaims)
Earl.
(car door opens)
Fuck you.
(ominous music)
(car door opens)
[Tanis] Mom, hurry.
Okay, thank you.
(engine starts)
Mom, let's go.
Jesus Christ, Oh my
God, I fucking hit him.
(Earl groans)
Give me a hand.
It's about time she left your ass.
Fuck you Sam.
Oh God.
(Earl coughs)
Fuck you.
Idiot.
(Earl groans)
(soft ambient music)
I'll see you soon Khukham.
(Khukham speaks in language)
Been waiting a long time for you.
Why?
You can see the truth.
(ominous music)
Finally.
Hey, you sleep okay?
Are we close?
(Angel chuckles)
Tanis, we fucking did it.
(Angel excitedly screams)
(car honks)
Fuck yeah!
(Angel cries)
[Tanis] I had a cool dream.
Oh yeah, about what?
[Tanis] Gracie and
the old woman, Khukham.
There was a cabin in the
woods and a native guy too.
Well, it was just a dream, so.
It was an important one.
Mom, Gracie was so nice.
You can dream her as nice as you want,
but she was bad shit fucking crazy, okay.
She didn't even know who the
hell I was half the time.
Why do you hate her so much?
And Frankie left me alone with her.
Who would do that?
(Gracie hums)
Hey look, mommy needs to sleep.
So just make sure she takes her medicine.
I don't hate her.
And mom, I got my period.
Are you all right?
That's it?
What do you mean?
Well, aren't there like
things we're supposed to do.
Yeah, like what, buy pads?
- Sure.
- Indian things.
In my dream Khukham was boiling medicine.
Well then I guess that
makes you the expert.
What's your fricking problem anyway?
If Gracie didn't want us,
we'd probably be dead.
She is dead Tanis, okay?
So stop talking nonsense.
While since I'm a woman now or whatever,
I'm gonna go find some Indian stuff
because I think I was supposed
to do something special
for my period.
If you wanna stay in here and
be all depressed, then fine.
You do you.
(car door closes)
Are you coming?
[Angel] Isn't cedar
different than back east?
Ouch.
I mean, who says cedar's Indian anyway?
Like cedar is cedar, right?
Oh, it's getting cold out there.
(car door closes)
Those are personal if you don't mind.
Uh, I mind.
Why don't you write him back?
None your business.
Anyway, I tried a few times,
but I never knew what to say.
Oh well, I guess if you tried, it's fine.
I never met my grandfather.
He must really love you.
Us.
I like reading them.
So do I.
Ever nosy.
What? You suck at hiding things.
Where'd you come from anyway?
Well, that's loaded question.
(engine starts)
What now?
Are we lost?
Now might be a good time
to ask Gracie for some help,
okay.
What the hell is that?
It's called a map.
Okay.
Let me see.
You don't know how to read that.
Okay, I need directions.
(car door closes)
(man laughs)
I'm seeing ghosts.
Those black eyed peas
tasted alright to me Earl
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na
Goodbye Earl
We're warriors mom.
Yes, we are warriors.
Oh look, Tanis, we're almost there.
Mom, we must be close to the
Res, you were talking about.
(thuds)
Shit.
I mean shoot.
We're cursed.
(Angel groans)
(car door opens, closes)
Oh man.
Oh God's, no.
Fuck!
Hey, hey. (car honks)
Fuck you.
Fuck.
(man sings)
Jesus.
Holy shit, did you see that woman?
Holy shit, you gotta be kidding me.
Hey, you almost just killed my mom.
Angel.
Hey.
Hey.
Tanis, this is my friend Joshua.
Friend?
You have no friends.
[Gracie] Angel, he's coming for you.
He's coming for you okay?
Dorothy will help you.
She's my baby, she's my baby.
She's okay.
(car door closes)
(car door closes)
What happened?
Oh, you fainted and kind of epically too.
Just like in the movies,
like also emotion stuff.
You fall right into Josh's arms.
So cheesy.
So, where are you guys going?
Wouldn't you like to know.
You visiting my mom?
Mom?
Yeah, Dorothy.
- Holy shit, she's your mom?
- Hey Tanis, language.
[Tanis] Sky door.
Well, just gimme a call whenever.
What's your cell phone?
[Angel] We don't have one.
Didn't you take Earl's?
Hand it over.
We can get a new SIM in town.
She wasn't allowed a cell phone.
- Earl was a control psycho.
- Hey, hey, hey.
I'm sorry.
We're okay, we're warriors.
I can see that.
- Can we go?
- Yeah, let's do it.
(engine starts)
Home sweet home.
Far, far, far away from dickhead.
Someone's got a mouth on her.
Reminds me of someone.
You know, you sound exactly like your mom
when she was young.
Oh, well I'm my own person, so.
Okay, well, so I'll
remember that I guess.
Okay, good.
Good, fine.
- Bye.
- All right.
(car door closes)
So, what the hell was that about?
He seems nice.
So since that's Dorothy's son
and Dorothy was your foster mom.
You two must've lived together for a while.
Tanis, I don't have
energy for this right now.
Here we are.
(doorbell buzzes)
Hi.
Hey Tanis.
Wow, you're so big now.
Well, you know the drill.
Luckily we have a room open.
Well, I'm hungry.
Sorry about that.
She's hungry every five minutes these days.
Kids can eat whatever they want.
We ain't running no residential
school up in here eh,
come on in.
It's really good to see you Angel.
When's Dorothy on shift?
She only comes in on the weekends now
since her partner passed,
but you can always give her a ring at home.
Does she know you're here?
All right, let me grab your file.
So, it'll only take a minute or so,
and then I'll settle you both in,
you can meet with your
counselor tomorrow morning
to go over your history of care.
Does he have any idea where you went?
He doesn't know much about my life.
These types can be very good detectives.
So let me know whether or
not you remember anything
that could lead him here, okay?
Let's get you off to bed my dear.
Thanks Sunshine.
(door closes)
Hello, quick announcement.
There is a mandatory circle
happening with the Queen
of Sunshine herself, me.
Kids under the age of 13
can go into the children's program room
and we'll see you guys in there shortly.
I hate circle.
Not as much as I hate the
children's program room.
(Sunshine speaks in language)
All my relations.
Thank you all for being here with me today
in the sharing circle.
I've brought in the spirit plate
to invite our ancestors to join us.
I'm gonna be passing
around this Eagle feather.
So please feel free to share
openly, this is a safe space.
I know it can be hard, but
that is why we're here.
(drums music)
(Sunshine chants)
(Gracie chants)
I can feel the spirits here with us now
and they're happy to be here.
Sago Solego, my name is Tina
and I've been here with my daughter Spring
for about three months now.
Hey, are you new?
I got here a few months ago.
It's a long time.
We don't really have a place to go.
We don't either.
I'm worried my mom will go back.
We're waiting for housing.
Are you gonna apply?
My name is Spring, what's yours?
I'm Tanis.
I've got a white name,
but I was born in April
so I guess Spring is kind
of like an Indian name.
It was a pretty long drive.
We live in my parents' old farmhouse.
My mom and dad moved out west here together
when they were young, Ocree.
I know the phrase, "the
Cree behind every tree."
(everyone chuckles)
We came here a few years ago,
but I just got all paranoid,
kept thinking he was
gonna find me, but like,
how could he, right?
I don't know what else to say.
It's okay, you're doing good.
[Angel] Tanis is 13.
Sometimes it's like, she's the parent.
I try to be a good mom
but I don't really know
if I'm doing a good job.
My parents were not the
greatest, but I mean,
at least I had Dorothy as a foster mom
for a few years anyway.
Tanis is so strong and really smart.
She reminds me a lot of my mom.
Gracie was a good mother
before she got sick.
I'm worried about Tanis.
Nevermind, it's dumb.
(indistinct chatter)
(Gracie hums)
Go to her now.
Gracie.
Gracie.
Gracie wait.
(knock on door)
[Sunshine] Hey girl, what's up?
Can you put our names
on the housing list?
Why are you asking me and not your mom?
Usually takes a few times
before a woman like
your mom leave for good.
We need to be supportive, okay?
I can't let her go back to him.
I know hun, but she needs time to heal.
(children laugh)
Where's Sunshine?
Why?
Go ahead, I won't listen.
(phone dials)
Thanks.
Hi, Joshua.
You free to hang later?
Okay, see you soon.
Just be back before 6:00 PM.
If by chance can't make
it, be sure to call us.
These beds are precious as you know.
Okay.
And be careful.
Okay?
Sure thing.
(woman scoffs)
Staring problem?
[Angel] So what are we looking for?
Endless possibilities.
(Angel laughs)
Only ever cheesy.
So when was the last time
you two saw each other?
It's been a long time.
It's been a while.
What the hell?
Don't act surprised.
People gossip like crazy around here.
Yeah but you just took off.
Yeah 'cause all we did was
fight like all the damn time.
Plus you were getting ready to travel.
Yeah but if you were straight up with me,
I would've stayed.
Hey man, this poor kid.
When are you gonna tell her?
'Cause my mom's gonna freak out.
Hey.
Guess who heard you were here?
My mom has ordered me
to bring you both home.
Really?
Mom please, can we go?
She already called Sky
Door and let them know
that you'll both be returned
when she's done with you.
Yes, magic time.
(Angel laughs)
(wind blows)
(ominous music)
Dear grandpa.
I hope to meet you soon.
I think you should know things
are getting bad at home.
Please come back.
We need you.
Love, Tanis.
(train honks)
Hi.
(Dorothy speaks in language)
Oh my God, you too my girl.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Isn't she getting big?
So big.
Oh my God, mom.
You were so cute.
[Dorothy] Oh she was and very shy.
You know, the only person to
get her to talk, it's Joshua.
It's true.
He was my best friend.
Was?
Oh my God, I fricking knew it.
What?
I'm young, not stupid.
Oh, what did I miss?
I swear, I had no idea.
That is such bullshit.
Hello? Talk.
I didn't expect to see him here.
Oh my God.
[Angel] Tanis.
What have you two done?
Joshua, I asked you about this.
I'll go talk to her.
Fuck.
This is so messed up.
Why didn't you tell me or better yet
why didn't you tell her?
Why are you putting this all on me?
[Joshua] Because you
didn't fucking tell me
I had a daughter.
What's going on in that head of yours?
Seriously.
You haven't even changed.
You know you can trust me,
but you consistently...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, okay.
I'm gonna go get some air.
(door opens, closes)
(birds chirping)
Hi.
Hi.
[Joshua] Can I join you?
Sorry for all this craziness.
I know it can be confusing.
Did you love her?
I always have.
It's always been complicated with your mom.
But you never came for her.
I didn't actually think she wanted me to.
What was she like when she was little?
Scared and quiet,
but she was fiery like you.
Did she ever tell you
what happened to Gracie?
No, my mom did.
And Frankie loved his
family very, very much.
(tense ambient music)
Do you hear that?
Hear what?
Nothing.
(tense ambient music)
You think there's like a bear?
I'm thinking more hyena.
Oh, okay.
(imitates sound)
(Tanis laughs)
There are times I miss hearing her voice.
[Dorothy] Oh, Gracie
was a beautiful Iskwewak.
Frankie was handsome and a good person.
They were soulmates those two.
So why did it all fall apart?
I hope you know how
much Gracie loved you.
Your mama was a seer.
She always talked about seeing spirits.
If she had ceremony, I believe
she'd still be here today.
Doctors said she had a mental illness
and gave her lots of white man medicine.
I'm worried I'm gonna
turn out just like her
and Tanis is acting strange.
What if it runs in our family?
Maybe Tanis can see too.
It's not a bad thing.
Hey, have you gone to visit your dad?
I'm holding a sweat here tomorrow.
I've invited some clients from Sky Door.
I put your names on the list.
I don't really believe in that stuff
so like don't you have
to believe in it to go?
Ceremony will do you some good.
I know Gracie.
She won't rest until she knows you're safe.
Come here.
(Angel cries)
Come here, it's okay.
It's okay.
There you are.
(ominous music)
Fuck.
Sky Door.
I got you.
(knock on door)
Where's Angel and Tanis?
What the hell are you doing in my house?
Your house?
I didn't buy this house for
a white piece of shit like you
now where the hell are they?
How the fuck would I know?
Keep it asshole.
Your daughter's worthless.
If you even look at my
daughter again, I will kill you.
You wanna play Indian warrior old man?
You better watch the fuck out.
I might play cowboy.
(body thuds)
(Dorothy speaks in language)
Hey, you okay?
She's fine my boy.
Are you sure?
She's fine.
When I was young,
my Khukham taught me the
importance of ceremony.
I shared those teachings with Gracie.
What did you say to Tanis?
I told her not to be afraid of her gift.
Please don't feed into that.
Well, someone's gotta
talk to her about it.
Yeah.
You are an Inu Iskwewak.
Ceremony is our culture, our identity.
You know that white man, he dishonored you.
Do you understand?
He's responsible for his
actions, you did nothing wrong.
I put my daughter in harm's way.
Well, you're here now, aren't you?
I've been selfish.
(ominous music)
(traditional music)
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
(eerie music)
(traditional music)
Angel.
(traditional music)
(Angel cries)
Earl is coming.
Earl is coming.
Gracie?
(traditional music)
Angel, Angel.
[Joshua] Be careful, it's hot.
(ominous music)
What's happening? Is Gracie doing this?
Gracie came as a warning.
Angel's spirit is tired
so we have to prepare her for battle, okay?
Look, it's working.
Earl's poison is leaving her body.
Angel.
Angel.
They were so happy.
(Angel cries)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I got you something by the way.
Isn't that nice?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Have you seen a woman?
Anyways, we're taking off today.
Mom's going back with her boyfriend.
How can she do that?
She doesn't listen to me like most moms.
[Tanis] I'm gonna miss you.
I'll miss you too.
We got a ride into town, let's go.
You know, we never say goodbye.
We say, 'til we meet again.
Be careful.
I love you so much.
So much, it hurts.
I'm not sure love is supposed to hurt.
I'm so sorry about everything.
(Angel cries)
This is where I used to pick medicine
with Dorothy and Joshua.
[Tanis] Are you ever
gonna tell me what happened?
I don't know, we were
young and I was messed up
and we saw each other off and on
after I left the Res.
Do you still love him?
[Angel] I thought about
him like all the time,
but I'm not ready for
anything like that right now.
You know, you really
scared me last night.
Well, I feel really good today.
Like I honestly can't remember
ever feeling this light.
Oh yeah.
Well you should have seen
your nasty ass bath water.
Whatever.
I'm gonna run and go get Joshua.
Why?
Because I want to.
Okay, then I guess I'll just stay here.
Okay, be careful and hurry back.
[Tanis] I'll be super fast.
(Earl groans)
Hey, what's up?
Hey.
I have to hurry 'cause
mom's alone in the bush.
Do you wanna come for
a walk with mom and I?
No, I'm busy.
I'm just kidding.
I'll come, sure.
(Joshua grunts)
Mom, heading to the lookout with Tanis.
Gonna see Angel.
I'll see you later.
[Dorothy] Okay my boy.
See you later.
God, where the hell is that kid?
(knock on door)
(Dorothy gasps)
Frankie.
Oh God.
Are you okay?
Where's Angel?
Come on.
(door closes)
It's a lot of land that we have here.
It belongs to us, but it's hard to access.
Who's that?
(Earl grunts) (car door closes)
[Earl] Angel.
Wait.
Come on.
Let's go home.
No.
Come on.
- No.
- Come on.
- Don't, stop it.
- Come on.
Everything I've done for
you, come on, let's go.
Fuck you.
I'm not afraid of you.
- Do it you coward.
- I will, I will.
I will, don't.
I love you.
You love me.
I know you do.
I was afraid of you.
I was trying not to get hit asshole.
No, shut up.
Dad?
(Gracie screams)
(gunshot fires)
I didn't do that.
- [Angel] Dad.
[Earl] He jumped on me, I didn't do that.
Get the fuck outta my way rent a cop.
I'm a fucking Res cop.
(gunshot fires) (Earl grunts)
[Dorothy] Oh my God, oh my God.
Frankie.
Oh my God, stay with us.
Come on dad, please dad.
Mom, what happened?
Stay a little longer my love.
[Angel] Dad.
Dad, stay with us please.
Call an ambulance.
Dad, wake up.
Dad, dad, please stay with us.
(ominous music)
Hey, wake up.
Gracie, wake up, wake up.
Fuck.
Gracie, wake up.
[Officer] You're gonna
have to come with me.
Let go of my daughter.
Let go of my daughter, leave us alone.
Honey, wake up.
Calm down.
Fuck you.
Wake up.
We may need back up here.
Get the fuck off of me.
Stop.
(body thuds)
I'm so sorry, Angel.
(police sirens) (both sob)
(birds chirping)
(door opens)
(door closes)
Aw.
Time to say goodbye to your mom.
You ready?
[Angel] We've kept her here long enough.
Yeah, I'll go check on Tanis.
She's gonna help with the ceremony.
She's a strong spirit that one.
It's really good to see
you out and about old man.
I never got to say
thanks to you and Dorothy
(Frankie speaks in language)
for looking out for my girls.
Well, technically one
of them is my girl, Tanis.
Welcome to the family son.
Not a minute too soon.
Yeah.
So, you ready for this?
Sending Gracie off on her journey?
Not really, but she's been
tied down here too long.
You know, I bought this house
to get away from the Res.
Oh yeah.
How's that working out for you?
(both laugh)
Looks like the feast is gonna start soon.
Let's do this.
(children laugh)
My Tanis.
(Angel speaks in language)
(Gracie chuckles)
(Gracie sighs)
(traditional music)
(traditional music)
(birds chirping)
I can't do it.
Get up there.
Okay, one more time faster.
Yes. Cool.
Good job.
I knew you could do it.
(soft ambient music)
What?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
(ominous music)
Mom, let's go.
[Earl] I worked all damn day
I should come home to a clean house.
Where were you?
[Angel] I got a ride into
town with Sam to get groceries.
[Earl] That's bullshit.
[Angel] I swear.
[Earl] What, are you
sleeping with Sam now?
[Angel] Stop Earl, please.
[Earl] You're worthless,
you should consider yourself lucky
that I put up with your lazy whoring ass.
Stop.
It's your fault you
don't let us do anything.
She can't breathe, she can't breathe.
- Hey, hey, come on.
- Mom.
Wake up, it's okay, she's fine.
She's fine, just give her a minute.
- She's fine.
- Wake up.
(tense ambient music)
Gracie.
There you go.
(Angel coughs and gasps) -
You could have killed her.
You make me do this, you come in here
and it's like, you're looking for a fight.
- She does not asshole.
- Shut the fuck up.
No, no.
Go to your room.
No Earl.
I'm your father, don't
fucking call me that
go to your room right now Tanis.
Please, baby girl just go.
I'll be okay.
[Earl] Go to your room.
Now.
(suspenseful music)
Hey.
Hey.
Angel.
[Tanis] Mom.
Sorry.
(bell rings)
(eerie music)
(thunder rumbles)
Careful.
(Earl coughs)
Glad you're feeling better, honey.
(glass clanks)
I wish he was dead.
Tanis.
(Angel sobs)
Mom, I think I saw Gracie.
(Angel sniffles)
What are you talking about?
Forget it.
Come on, let's get you cleaned up.
(tense ambient music)
What do you mean you saw Gracie?
It was nothing.
You remind me of her, you know?
How did Gracie die?
You still don't think I'm old enough.
What was she like?
She was insane, okay.
She was always talking
about ghosts and shit.
Okay and what else?
Why won't you talk about them?
I don't have anything to say.
Angel knows what to do
if there's an emergency.
He's breaking our Angel.
Why aren't you doing anything?
I'm trying to understand.
Just stop him, you have to stop him.
Earl is drinking every night now.
(eerie music) (Tanis exclaims)
What?
What's wrong?
Is he awake?
Did you hear that?
What?
(Tanis hums)
(door closes)
(ominous music)
It doesn't have to be this way.
I just want a little appreciation.
I'm sorry.
(suspenseful music)
Angel.
Angel.
Good morning.
Rough night?
You need a little more makeup right there.
What?
I think it's time for Tanis to get a bra.
Okay.
I can take her.
It'd be good to get into the city.
Oh, you wish.
I'll take her after work.
Tanis.
(thuds)
Tanis, stop messing around.
[Gracie] Why aren't you doing anything?
Stop him, please.
You broke my wing.
- You broke my wing.
- Jesus, Gracie.
Hey look, we can fix it later.
Stay with me.
I can't, I can't.
Angel.
So just one pill, understand?
One.
Yes, only one, okay.
Yes daddy.
You scared me.
Who were you talking to?
[Angel] What?
You woke me up, you were
having a full on conversation.
Guess I was dreaming.
Can I sleep with you?
I love you, mom.
Love you Angel.
Oh, don't scare her away old man.
(breathes heavily)
Hey, any mail?
One from Frankie.
You said we'd go see him
when I'm older, I'm older.
We don't have a car.
Man baby does.
Jail's not a good place for kids.
More than here?
Hungry?
Why is Frankie in jail anyway?
Did he hurt Gracie or something?
Mom.
[Frankie] My dear Angel,
I feel like a broken record,
but it would be nice if you wrote me back.
I hope Tanis is well.
I miss you and I can't wait to...
(door opens, closes)
Tanis, dinner.
[Tanis] I'm not hungry.
Any mail?
Just junk.
(soft music)
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
Why?
You seem off.
Hey, don't fucking lie to me.
(thuds)
Tanis.
Why is she slamming these fucking doors?
(knock on door)
If it's Earl, you can drop dead.
Brought you a cookie.
What's wrong?
This house, my life.
(traditional music)
(Tanis hums)
Leave us alone Gracie.
(Angel grunts)
Hey Frankie.
Yeah.
A buddy saw Angel in town.
She looked all banged up.
(tense ambient music)
Isn't that nice?
(man chuckles)
(eerie music)
I'm a prick.
I'm sorry.
It won't happen again, I promise.
You mean everything to me.
You remember when we first met?
(both laugh)
I couldn't get that goofy grin off my face,
for like weeks and weeks.
I'm still that guy
I'm trying.
I got you something
It's like that one from
your picture upstairs.
The one your mom's wearing.
I thought you'd like it.
What do you think?
I did good huh?
Poof.
Let's go shower.
Lets.
This freaking house.
You're a freaking zombie.
Mh?
I can't remember the
last time I saw you laugh
or go out with your friends.
Oh wait, you have no friends.
You don't have to be nasty.
Do you realize that all my memories
are of you getting your ass kicked?
Why don't you do that to him?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
[Frankie] Dear angel, how are you?
Sorry for what happened that horrible day.
Please know that she was sick for long.
And I think about you and Tanis every day.
How's my old farmhouse keeping up?
Great news, my parole
hearing is coming up soon.
I've been here for two extended sentencing.
I can't stand to know
that he is hurting you.
How is Sam, our neighbor?
He promised me he would look out for you.
I've sent him money to fix up
one of his old cars for you.
I'm sorry, mom.
For me slapping you?
Is this all you see when you look at me?
I see you.
My mom.
You've never really seen me though.
You're kind of broken.
That's not a bad thing to say, is it?
Broken.
My teacher talked about Kintsugi
when they put broken
pottery pieces back together
and mend it with the powdered gold.
You're kind of like that,
flawed but beautiful.
We need to be ready for next time.
Can we go back to sky door?
Dorothy was so nice.
There's not gonna be a next time.
What?
What's funny?
Nothing.
Where's my dinner?
I'm late.
Food's ready.
(door opens, closes)
Why would he think you'd want this?
You hate Gracie.
I never said I hated her.
He's such a dumb ass.
Earl's trying I guess.
I can't wait to go home.
I like being on the Res.
You've been there
once, it's not your home.
I've been there long enough to know
it's way better than here.
So mom, all the girls are
going to a self defense class
in town tonight, it's like 10 bucks.
Monica's mom's picking me up soon.
Can I go?
Mom?
Hmm?
I need some money.
My wallet's over there.
You should come with us.
Learn some moves, kick some Earl ass.
No, I'm good.
Doesn't it suck me being here all alone?
You need to hide this better.
I gotta go.
Love you.
(door closes)
(eerie music)
What the hell?
(Angel groans)
Tanis, I swear.
(ominous music)
Fuck my life.
[Frankie] I hope Tanis is well.
I miss you and I can't wait to meet her.
A buddy of mine said
someone saw you in town
and you were banged up.
Tell that man of yours to
keep his hands off you or else.
Anyway, I know I haven't
been there for you.
You haven't been there at fucking all,
but I know I'm being there for
you now, I'll be home soon.
Who's fucking home?
I pay the fucking bills in this house.
What's wrong?
- What the fuck is this?
- It's nothing.
I told you to tell me
if there was any mail.
It's just from my dad.
How many more of these are there?
- None.
- What?
[Angel] None.
- Don't fucking lie to me.
Don't.
Earl.
Where is it? I know it's here.
Right, your dad knows how to write you.
Piece of shit just like you, where is it?
I know it's in here.
You're always hiding shit from me.
Oh, you bitch.
Earl, don't please.
Please don't.
You're gonna kick me
outta my own fucking house?
No.
(Angel exclaims)
Is anything else you wanna tell me?
No.
No, please.
No, you're hurting me.
Don't.
Get off me.
(Gracie screams)
You fucking coward.
Does hitting my mom make
you feel like a man?
(Earl grunts)
Oh, fuck.
(Earl pants)
(Angel gasps)
Get him out of my house.
(glass clanks)
My God, Tanis.
Oh no,
I'm done.
We're leaving
(door opens)
Here, take this.
Sam said he'd have the car ready for us.
Remember what we talked about?
Go to Sam's garage and whatever
you do, don't wake Earl.
Okay, careful.
(indistinct chatter on TV)
You don't have to stay
here if you don't want to
anymore Gracie.
Be careful.
Goddamn man baby truck.
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
(Angel exclaims)
Earl.
(car door opens)
Fuck you.
(ominous music)
(car door opens)
[Tanis] Mom, hurry.
Okay, thank you.
(engine starts)
Mom, let's go.
Jesus Christ, Oh my
God, I fucking hit him.
(Earl groans)
Give me a hand.
It's about time she left your ass.
Fuck you Sam.
Oh God.
(Earl coughs)
Fuck you.
Idiot.
(Earl groans)
(soft ambient music)
I'll see you soon Khukham.
(Khukham speaks in language)
Been waiting a long time for you.
Why?
You can see the truth.
(ominous music)
Finally.
Hey, you sleep okay?
Are we close?
(Angel chuckles)
Tanis, we fucking did it.
(Angel excitedly screams)
(car honks)
Fuck yeah!
(Angel cries)
[Tanis] I had a cool dream.
Oh yeah, about what?
[Tanis] Gracie and
the old woman, Khukham.
There was a cabin in the
woods and a native guy too.
Well, it was just a dream, so.
It was an important one.
Mom, Gracie was so nice.
You can dream her as nice as you want,
but she was bad shit fucking crazy, okay.
She didn't even know who the
hell I was half the time.
Why do you hate her so much?
And Frankie left me alone with her.
Who would do that?
(Gracie hums)
Hey look, mommy needs to sleep.
So just make sure she takes her medicine.
I don't hate her.
And mom, I got my period.
Are you all right?
That's it?
What do you mean?
Well, aren't there like
things we're supposed to do.
Yeah, like what, buy pads?
- Sure.
- Indian things.
In my dream Khukham was boiling medicine.
Well then I guess that
makes you the expert.
What's your fricking problem anyway?
If Gracie didn't want us,
we'd probably be dead.
She is dead Tanis, okay?
So stop talking nonsense.
While since I'm a woman now or whatever,
I'm gonna go find some Indian stuff
because I think I was supposed
to do something special
for my period.
If you wanna stay in here and
be all depressed, then fine.
You do you.
(car door closes)
Are you coming?
[Angel] Isn't cedar
different than back east?
Ouch.
I mean, who says cedar's Indian anyway?
Like cedar is cedar, right?
Oh, it's getting cold out there.
(car door closes)
Those are personal if you don't mind.
Uh, I mind.
Why don't you write him back?
None your business.
Anyway, I tried a few times,
but I never knew what to say.
Oh well, I guess if you tried, it's fine.
I never met my grandfather.
He must really love you.
Us.
I like reading them.
So do I.
Ever nosy.
What? You suck at hiding things.
Where'd you come from anyway?
Well, that's loaded question.
(engine starts)
What now?
Are we lost?
Now might be a good time
to ask Gracie for some help,
okay.
What the hell is that?
It's called a map.
Okay.
Let me see.
You don't know how to read that.
Okay, I need directions.
(car door closes)
(man laughs)
I'm seeing ghosts.
Those black eyed peas
tasted alright to me Earl
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na
Goodbye Earl
We're warriors mom.
Yes, we are warriors.
Oh look, Tanis, we're almost there.
Mom, we must be close to the
Res, you were talking about.
(thuds)
Shit.
I mean shoot.
We're cursed.
(Angel groans)
(car door opens, closes)
Oh man.
Oh God's, no.
Fuck!
Hey, hey. (car honks)
Fuck you.
Fuck.
(man sings)
Jesus.
Holy shit, did you see that woman?
Holy shit, you gotta be kidding me.
Hey, you almost just killed my mom.
Angel.
Hey.
Hey.
Tanis, this is my friend Joshua.
Friend?
You have no friends.
[Gracie] Angel, he's coming for you.
He's coming for you okay?
Dorothy will help you.
She's my baby, she's my baby.
She's okay.
(car door closes)
(car door closes)
What happened?
Oh, you fainted and kind of epically too.
Just like in the movies,
like also emotion stuff.
You fall right into Josh's arms.
So cheesy.
So, where are you guys going?
Wouldn't you like to know.
You visiting my mom?
Mom?
Yeah, Dorothy.
- Holy shit, she's your mom?
- Hey Tanis, language.
[Tanis] Sky door.
Well, just gimme a call whenever.
What's your cell phone?
[Angel] We don't have one.
Didn't you take Earl's?
Hand it over.
We can get a new SIM in town.
She wasn't allowed a cell phone.
- Earl was a control psycho.
- Hey, hey, hey.
I'm sorry.
We're okay, we're warriors.
I can see that.
- Can we go?
- Yeah, let's do it.
(engine starts)
Home sweet home.
Far, far, far away from dickhead.
Someone's got a mouth on her.
Reminds me of someone.
You know, you sound exactly like your mom
when she was young.
Oh, well I'm my own person, so.
Okay, well, so I'll
remember that I guess.
Okay, good.
Good, fine.
- Bye.
- All right.
(car door closes)
So, what the hell was that about?
He seems nice.
So since that's Dorothy's son
and Dorothy was your foster mom.
You two must've lived together for a while.
Tanis, I don't have
energy for this right now.
Here we are.
(doorbell buzzes)
Hi.
Hey Tanis.
Wow, you're so big now.
Well, you know the drill.
Luckily we have a room open.
Well, I'm hungry.
Sorry about that.
She's hungry every five minutes these days.
Kids can eat whatever they want.
We ain't running no residential
school up in here eh,
come on in.
It's really good to see you Angel.
When's Dorothy on shift?
She only comes in on the weekends now
since her partner passed,
but you can always give her a ring at home.
Does she know you're here?
All right, let me grab your file.
So, it'll only take a minute or so,
and then I'll settle you both in,
you can meet with your
counselor tomorrow morning
to go over your history of care.
Does he have any idea where you went?
He doesn't know much about my life.
These types can be very good detectives.
So let me know whether or
not you remember anything
that could lead him here, okay?
Let's get you off to bed my dear.
Thanks Sunshine.
(door closes)
Hello, quick announcement.
There is a mandatory circle
happening with the Queen
of Sunshine herself, me.
Kids under the age of 13
can go into the children's program room
and we'll see you guys in there shortly.
I hate circle.
Not as much as I hate the
children's program room.
(Sunshine speaks in language)
All my relations.
Thank you all for being here with me today
in the sharing circle.
I've brought in the spirit plate
to invite our ancestors to join us.
I'm gonna be passing
around this Eagle feather.
So please feel free to share
openly, this is a safe space.
I know it can be hard, but
that is why we're here.
(drums music)
(Sunshine chants)
(Gracie chants)
I can feel the spirits here with us now
and they're happy to be here.
Sago Solego, my name is Tina
and I've been here with my daughter Spring
for about three months now.
Hey, are you new?
I got here a few months ago.
It's a long time.
We don't really have a place to go.
We don't either.
I'm worried my mom will go back.
We're waiting for housing.
Are you gonna apply?
My name is Spring, what's yours?
I'm Tanis.
I've got a white name,
but I was born in April
so I guess Spring is kind
of like an Indian name.
It was a pretty long drive.
We live in my parents' old farmhouse.
My mom and dad moved out west here together
when they were young, Ocree.
I know the phrase, "the
Cree behind every tree."
(everyone chuckles)
We came here a few years ago,
but I just got all paranoid,
kept thinking he was
gonna find me, but like,
how could he, right?
I don't know what else to say.
It's okay, you're doing good.
[Angel] Tanis is 13.
Sometimes it's like, she's the parent.
I try to be a good mom
but I don't really know
if I'm doing a good job.
My parents were not the
greatest, but I mean,
at least I had Dorothy as a foster mom
for a few years anyway.
Tanis is so strong and really smart.
She reminds me a lot of my mom.
Gracie was a good mother
before she got sick.
I'm worried about Tanis.
Nevermind, it's dumb.
(indistinct chatter)
(Gracie hums)
Go to her now.
Gracie.
Gracie.
Gracie wait.
(knock on door)
[Sunshine] Hey girl, what's up?
Can you put our names
on the housing list?
Why are you asking me and not your mom?
Usually takes a few times
before a woman like
your mom leave for good.
We need to be supportive, okay?
I can't let her go back to him.
I know hun, but she needs time to heal.
(children laugh)
Where's Sunshine?
Why?
Go ahead, I won't listen.
(phone dials)
Thanks.
Hi, Joshua.
You free to hang later?
Okay, see you soon.
Just be back before 6:00 PM.
If by chance can't make
it, be sure to call us.
These beds are precious as you know.
Okay.
And be careful.
Okay?
Sure thing.
(woman scoffs)
Staring problem?
[Angel] So what are we looking for?
Endless possibilities.
(Angel laughs)
Only ever cheesy.
So when was the last time
you two saw each other?
It's been a long time.
It's been a while.
What the hell?
Don't act surprised.
People gossip like crazy around here.
Yeah but you just took off.
Yeah 'cause all we did was
fight like all the damn time.
Plus you were getting ready to travel.
Yeah but if you were straight up with me,
I would've stayed.
Hey man, this poor kid.
When are you gonna tell her?
'Cause my mom's gonna freak out.
Hey.
Guess who heard you were here?
My mom has ordered me
to bring you both home.
Really?
Mom please, can we go?
She already called Sky
Door and let them know
that you'll both be returned
when she's done with you.
Yes, magic time.
(Angel laughs)
(wind blows)
(ominous music)
Dear grandpa.
I hope to meet you soon.
I think you should know things
are getting bad at home.
Please come back.
We need you.
Love, Tanis.
(train honks)
Hi.
(Dorothy speaks in language)
Oh my God, you too my girl.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Isn't she getting big?
So big.
Oh my God, mom.
You were so cute.
[Dorothy] Oh she was and very shy.
You know, the only person to
get her to talk, it's Joshua.
It's true.
He was my best friend.
Was?
Oh my God, I fricking knew it.
What?
I'm young, not stupid.
Oh, what did I miss?
I swear, I had no idea.
That is such bullshit.
Hello? Talk.
I didn't expect to see him here.
Oh my God.
[Angel] Tanis.
What have you two done?
Joshua, I asked you about this.
I'll go talk to her.
Fuck.
This is so messed up.
Why didn't you tell me or better yet
why didn't you tell her?
Why are you putting this all on me?
[Joshua] Because you
didn't fucking tell me
I had a daughter.
What's going on in that head of yours?
Seriously.
You haven't even changed.
You know you can trust me,
but you consistently...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, okay.
I'm gonna go get some air.
(door opens, closes)
(birds chirping)
Hi.
Hi.
[Joshua] Can I join you?
Sorry for all this craziness.
I know it can be confusing.
Did you love her?
I always have.
It's always been complicated with your mom.
But you never came for her.
I didn't actually think she wanted me to.
What was she like when she was little?
Scared and quiet,
but she was fiery like you.
Did she ever tell you
what happened to Gracie?
No, my mom did.
And Frankie loved his
family very, very much.
(tense ambient music)
Do you hear that?
Hear what?
Nothing.
(tense ambient music)
You think there's like a bear?
I'm thinking more hyena.
Oh, okay.
(imitates sound)
(Tanis laughs)
There are times I miss hearing her voice.
[Dorothy] Oh, Gracie
was a beautiful Iskwewak.
Frankie was handsome and a good person.
They were soulmates those two.
So why did it all fall apart?
I hope you know how
much Gracie loved you.
Your mama was a seer.
She always talked about seeing spirits.
If she had ceremony, I believe
she'd still be here today.
Doctors said she had a mental illness
and gave her lots of white man medicine.
I'm worried I'm gonna
turn out just like her
and Tanis is acting strange.
What if it runs in our family?
Maybe Tanis can see too.
It's not a bad thing.
Hey, have you gone to visit your dad?
I'm holding a sweat here tomorrow.
I've invited some clients from Sky Door.
I put your names on the list.
I don't really believe in that stuff
so like don't you have
to believe in it to go?
Ceremony will do you some good.
I know Gracie.
She won't rest until she knows you're safe.
Come here.
(Angel cries)
Come here, it's okay.
It's okay.
There you are.
(ominous music)
Fuck.
Sky Door.
I got you.
(knock on door)
Where's Angel and Tanis?
What the hell are you doing in my house?
Your house?
I didn't buy this house for
a white piece of shit like you
now where the hell are they?
How the fuck would I know?
Keep it asshole.
Your daughter's worthless.
If you even look at my
daughter again, I will kill you.
You wanna play Indian warrior old man?
You better watch the fuck out.
I might play cowboy.
(body thuds)
(Dorothy speaks in language)
Hey, you okay?
She's fine my boy.
Are you sure?
She's fine.
When I was young,
my Khukham taught me the
importance of ceremony.
I shared those teachings with Gracie.
What did you say to Tanis?
I told her not to be afraid of her gift.
Please don't feed into that.
Well, someone's gotta
talk to her about it.
Yeah.
You are an Inu Iskwewak.
Ceremony is our culture, our identity.
You know that white man, he dishonored you.
Do you understand?
He's responsible for his
actions, you did nothing wrong.
I put my daughter in harm's way.
Well, you're here now, aren't you?
I've been selfish.
(ominous music)
(traditional music)
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
(eerie music)
(traditional music)
Angel.
(traditional music)
(Angel cries)
Earl is coming.
Earl is coming.
Gracie?
(traditional music)
Angel, Angel.
[Joshua] Be careful, it's hot.
(ominous music)
What's happening? Is Gracie doing this?
Gracie came as a warning.
Angel's spirit is tired
so we have to prepare her for battle, okay?
Look, it's working.
Earl's poison is leaving her body.
Angel.
Angel.
They were so happy.
(Angel cries)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I got you something by the way.
Isn't that nice?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Have you seen a woman?
Anyways, we're taking off today.
Mom's going back with her boyfriend.
How can she do that?
She doesn't listen to me like most moms.
[Tanis] I'm gonna miss you.
I'll miss you too.
We got a ride into town, let's go.
You know, we never say goodbye.
We say, 'til we meet again.
Be careful.
I love you so much.
So much, it hurts.
I'm not sure love is supposed to hurt.
I'm so sorry about everything.
(Angel cries)
This is where I used to pick medicine
with Dorothy and Joshua.
[Tanis] Are you ever
gonna tell me what happened?
I don't know, we were
young and I was messed up
and we saw each other off and on
after I left the Res.
Do you still love him?
[Angel] I thought about
him like all the time,
but I'm not ready for
anything like that right now.
You know, you really
scared me last night.
Well, I feel really good today.
Like I honestly can't remember
ever feeling this light.
Oh yeah.
Well you should have seen
your nasty ass bath water.
Whatever.
I'm gonna run and go get Joshua.
Why?
Because I want to.
Okay, then I guess I'll just stay here.
Okay, be careful and hurry back.
[Tanis] I'll be super fast.
(Earl groans)
Hey, what's up?
Hey.
I have to hurry 'cause
mom's alone in the bush.
Do you wanna come for
a walk with mom and I?
No, I'm busy.
I'm just kidding.
I'll come, sure.
(Joshua grunts)
Mom, heading to the lookout with Tanis.
Gonna see Angel.
I'll see you later.
[Dorothy] Okay my boy.
See you later.
God, where the hell is that kid?
(knock on door)
(Dorothy gasps)
Frankie.
Oh God.
Are you okay?
Where's Angel?
Come on.
(door closes)
It's a lot of land that we have here.
It belongs to us, but it's hard to access.
Who's that?
(Earl grunts) (car door closes)
[Earl] Angel.
Wait.
Come on.
Let's go home.
No.
Come on.
- No.
- Come on.
- Don't, stop it.
- Come on.
Everything I've done for
you, come on, let's go.
Fuck you.
I'm not afraid of you.
- Do it you coward.
- I will, I will.
I will, don't.
I love you.
You love me.
I know you do.
I was afraid of you.
I was trying not to get hit asshole.
No, shut up.
Dad?
(Gracie screams)
(gunshot fires)
I didn't do that.
- [Angel] Dad.
[Earl] He jumped on me, I didn't do that.
Get the fuck outta my way rent a cop.
I'm a fucking Res cop.
(gunshot fires) (Earl grunts)
[Dorothy] Oh my God, oh my God.
Frankie.
Oh my God, stay with us.
Come on dad, please dad.
Mom, what happened?
Stay a little longer my love.
[Angel] Dad.
Dad, stay with us please.
Call an ambulance.
Dad, wake up.
Dad, dad, please stay with us.
(ominous music)
Hey, wake up.
Gracie, wake up, wake up.
Fuck.
Gracie, wake up.
[Officer] You're gonna
have to come with me.
Let go of my daughter.
Let go of my daughter, leave us alone.
Honey, wake up.
Calm down.
Fuck you.
Wake up.
We may need back up here.
Get the fuck off of me.
Stop.
(body thuds)
I'm so sorry, Angel.
(police sirens) (both sob)
(birds chirping)
(door opens)
(door closes)
Aw.
Time to say goodbye to your mom.
You ready?
[Angel] We've kept her here long enough.
Yeah, I'll go check on Tanis.
She's gonna help with the ceremony.
She's a strong spirit that one.
It's really good to see
you out and about old man.
I never got to say
thanks to you and Dorothy
(Frankie speaks in language)
for looking out for my girls.
Well, technically one
of them is my girl, Tanis.
Welcome to the family son.
Not a minute too soon.
Yeah.
So, you ready for this?
Sending Gracie off on her journey?
Not really, but she's been
tied down here too long.
You know, I bought this house
to get away from the Res.
Oh yeah.
How's that working out for you?
(both laugh)
Looks like the feast is gonna start soon.
Let's do this.
(children laugh)
My Tanis.
(Angel speaks in language)
(Gracie chuckles)
(Gracie sighs)
(traditional music)
