- Where are we gonna go, Henry?
- Far away from here.
How much money you got?
- Not much.
I still gotta stop at Mr.
Barrow's
and get my pay.
- (sighs) We're gonna need all
we can get.
(soft country music)
(haunting vocalization)
- Hey. Mr. Barrow, it's me.
Jacob.
- Jacob, how are you, son?
- I'm good.
I was just wondering if I
could get my pay for last week.
- Yes, of course. Come on up.
(chair creaking)
I wanna tell you boys a little
more
about the Battle of Khe Sanh.
One of the most important
battles
of the entire Vietnam war,
if not in fact, the longest and
bloodiest.
6,000 Marines and their
garrison were held under siege
by the North Vietnamese Army.
And on January 21st, 1968,
shooting-
- I, I'm Sorry, Mr. Barrow,
- and...
- but we really need to be
going.
Can I please get my pay?
- Sure can. My wallet's
on the kitchen table.
- Thank you.
(cash crinkling)
Thank you, Mr. Barrow.
- Say boys, did you happen to
see
the military transport up on the
hill?
(suspenseful music)
(chair creaking)
I haven't heard one
like that in these parts
for some while, you know.
Peculiar sound, that vehicle.
And Miss Sally told me
it's heading way out north
to Pithole, I suppose.
- Pithole, you said. Are you
sure about that, Mr. Barrow?
(chair creaking)
(crows cawing)
(eerie music)
(transport rumbling)
(gears creaking)
(door closes)
(creepy music)
(distorted whispering)
- I just wanted to enjoy the
summer.
Hang by the Creek.
- We're finally free.
This is more important.
- Come on, Henry.
He's an old blind man.
Who even knows if it's true.
- It's worth looking. It's Mom.
- I know that, but we
don't even know where.
- You heard Mr. Barrow. She's
there.
We're going.
- She left us.
Remember?
She didn't want us, so I don't
want her.
- So what would you
rather, go back to Daddy?
Get beat so bad this time it
don't heal?
Keep mowing grass, picking
weeds and shoveling asphalt?
I'm done with all that.
This is our only shot.
Weren't things better when mom
was around?
She just didn't see it.
She'll come back.
- And what if she doesn't?
- She will.
This is no time to be scared,
Jacob.
- I'm not scared.
- Well good.
Listen, we need a better life.
We deserve a better life
with Mom. That can happen.
We know where she is for the
first time.
And we've got no one else.
(Jacob sighs)
(suspenseful music)
- Okay, if we're gonna do
this, we've got to be prepared.
We've got our backpacks,
but we've got to get creative
and find more supplies.
I have some ideas.
- Yeah, I don't now. He
didn't show up for work today.
I don't know what we're gonna
do.
(door opens)
(chainsaw buzzing)
(lighter clicks)
(fuse sizzling)
(firecrackers popping)
- So there I was in
the middle of the camp.
The helicopter camp just outside
Pleiku.
A little after midnight,
February 7th, 1964.
(suspenseful music continues)
- Sorry, but, uh, thanks.
I always love hearing those war
stories.
- No problem, boys.
Enjoy the soup and beans.
- Okay.
So we're here and Mom
is all the way up here.
It's a hard journey, but
it's definitely doable.
So we'll enter at the viaduct,
then move on to the boulders,
then the lake, then the
pines, and then Mom.
We should get there in a
few days if we're lucky.

Lawson?
- (scoffs) What do you
mean, what happened to her?
I dumped her.
She was hooking up with Tommy
Briggs.
- The hockey player?
- (sighs) Yeah, the hockey
player.
(water sloshes)

(water running)
(birds shrieking)
(Henry breathes uneasily)
(Henry gasping)
Hey, your neck looks pretty bad.
Maybe we should go get it
checked out.
We can always take a road to
town.
(Henry wheezing)
(birds chirping)
Hey Henry, you doing all right?
Henry?
(Henry wheezing)
Henry? Hello?
If you wanna ignore me, fine.
This is your stupid
idea. Just remember that.
(Henry continues wheezing)
I just wanted to hang by
the creek this summer.
Is that too much to ask for?
Hey, are you gonna answer me?
What's your problem, man?
(intense music)

Come on.
Come on, buddy. Come on.
You can make it. You can make
it, Jacob.
Come on. You're gonna walk.
Come on, Jacob.

It's gonna be okay, Jacob.
It's gonna be okay. I've got

- (sighs) Hey, you, ah...
You doing all right?
- Yeah, I think so.
- I think my neck is almost
healed.
- That's good.
- We don't have to keep going.
Given all that's happened.
It might be time to head back.
- Really?
- Yeah, sure.
I just thought...
- What?
- Nah, forget it.
- What?
- I just thought that if Mom saw
us,
it would make a difference.
Maybe she would miss us or
remember us
or something, I don't know.
- Let's keep going.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- We don't have to, you know.
- I want to.

It's not safe.

- We want you to come home.
- Oh, my boys. I can't come
home.
I'm sorry.
- Why not? Why don't you love
us?
(distorted whirring)
- What did we do?
- Listen to me. He can't see
you.
You have no idea the danger
you're in.
You need to go.
- What are you
talking about, Mom?
- Go, go.
- Mom, wait a minute.
- No, listen.
- Mom, slow down.
- Go, go.
- Mom, there's something...
- Go and don't look back.
Just go.

(suspenseful music continues)
- Hey, they didn't take
your knife, did they?
- No, it, it's in this pocket.
- Got it. Got it.
(blade clicks)
(knife scraping)
We can't just leave.
We've come all this way.

The blood of the young male is
pure.
It has special rehabilitative
properties.
We lust for youth,
and youth we shall receive.
Longevity.
Vitality.
And you could give it to me.
Some people, well,
they would say that I'm
stealing.
But I'm not.
It's not personal.
No. It's just necessary.
(distorted whispering)
(chains jangling)
(Hannah groaning)
These are made out of wood.
Very strong wood.
I'm gonna take this
and I'm gonna pierce it
into your heart.
You won't feel anything.
Don't be afraid.
You're not the first
and you certainly won't be the
last.
(intense music)

Yeah.

Mom.
- I will, in time.
These people need me. I
recruited them.
I need to make this right
with them and with you.
- Mom, please.
- I love you boys.
I love you very much.
And I promise, I will explain
everything to you in time,
but for now I need you
to go and make me proud.
And I will see you again
when our paths cross.
I love you, Henry.
I love you, Jacob.
(soft dramatic music)
(engine rumbling)
(birds chirping)
(branches rustling)
- [Jacob] You know, I'm glad we
went.
- [Henry] I'm not so sure.
- [Jacob] Why?
- [Henry] Well, maybe you were
right.
Maybe we should have let it be.
I'm sorry I pushed you so hard.
- [Jacob] No, I'm glad we found
out.
- [Henry] Found out what?
- [Jacob] That moms still loves
us.
- Yeah. Yeah, me too.
- Hey, Henry?
- Yeah.
- [Jacob] You think we can
hang out by the creek now?
- [Henry] Yeah, I think
that's a great idea.
(gentle guitar music)
(bikes clattering)
- [Jacob] You know, maybe I can
get you
a job with Mr. Barrow.
He ain't so bad.
- Yeah, maybe.
(birds chirping)
(gentle guitar music)
(water flowing)
(bikes clattering)
It's a long way home
Ooh my brother, we
ain't got nowhere to go
(booze sloshing)
(engine starting)
Winding road
(engine revving)
I ain't got much done before
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
The hollow screams
It echoes clean
Fire was burning slowly
Muddy river's down in a stream
I see my reflection and it
ain't me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
(soft country music)
There was no chance, she
wasn't found
Walking the earth or in the
ground
Love has grown so cold
In the dark, the
smoke of burning pyres
They took our fears right
from our eyes on fire
Go away soon
It's a long way home
Oh, my brother, we
ain't got nowhere to go

If you wanna ignore me, fine.
This is your stupid

Is that too much to ask for?
Hey, are you gonna answer me?

You doing all right?
- Yeah, I think so.
- I think my neck is almost
healed.
- That's good.
- We don't have to keep going.
Given all that's happened.
It might be time to head back.
- Really?
- Yeah, sure.
I just thought...
- What?
- Nah, forget it.
- What?
- I just thought that if Mom saw
us,
it would make a difference.
Maybe she would miss us or
remember us
or something, I don't know.
- Let's keep going.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- We don't have to, you know.
- I want to.

I'm sorry.
- Why not? Why don't you love
us?
(distorted whirring)

You have no idea the danger

You need to go.

The blood of the young male is
pure.
It has special rehabilitative
properties.
We lust for youth,
and youth we shall receive.
Longevity.
Vitality.
And you could give it to me.
Some people, well,
they would say that I'm
stealing.
But I'm not.
It's not personal.
No. It's just necessary.
(distorted whispering)
(chains jangling)
(Hannah groaning)
These are made out of wood.
Very strong wood.
I'm gonna take this
and I'm gonna pierce it
into your heart.
You won't feel anything.
Don't be afraid.
You're not the first
and you certainly won't be the
last.

Yeah.

- You boys may not know
it, but you saved me.
You saved us.
- We want you to come with us,
Mom.
- I will, in time.
These people need me. I
recruited them.
I need to make this right
with them and with you.
- Mom, please.
- I love you boys.
I love you very much.
And I promise, I will explain
everything to you in time,
but for now I need you
to go and make me proud.
And I will see you again
when our paths cross.
I love you, Henry.
I love you, Jacob.

- [Jacob] You know, I'm glad we
went.
- [Henry] I'm not so sure.
- [Jacob] Why?
- [Henry] Well, maybe you were
right.
Maybe we should have let it be.
I'm sorry I pushed you so hard.
- [Jacob] No, I'm glad we found
out.
- [Henry] Found out what?
- [Jacob] That moms still loves
us.
- Yeah. Yeah, me too.
- Hey, Henry?
- Yeah.
- [Jacob] You think we can
hang out by the creek now?
- [Henry] Yeah, I think
that's a great idea.

It's a long way home
Ooh my brother, we
ain't got nowhere to go
(booze sloshing)
(engine starting)
Winding road
(engine revving)
I ain't got much done before
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
The hollow screams
It echoes clean
Fire was burning slowly
Muddy river's down in a stream
I see my reflection and it
ain't me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
(soft country music)
There was no chance, she
wasn't found
Walking the earth or in the
ground
Love has grown so cold
In the dark, the
smoke of burning pyres
They took our fears right
from our eyes on fire
Go away soon
It's a long way home
Oh, my brother, we
ain't got nowhere to go
(distorted whispering)
(eerie music)
