Frozen River

This programme contains some strong language.

-Are they here yet?

-Hey, little sleepy head.

-Because I'm ready.

You really are ready, aren't you?

HORN BEEPING

Whoa, whoa! Wait a second! Your coat!

We're all ready for you.

-Just need that balloon payment to unload.

-We have it.

It's just they called Troy from Titus last night. The ski place?

Do you have the 4,372 or not?

It was some emergency with the lift.

And he just took off out of here without thinking, with the money.

Completely forgot you were coming. So as soon as he gets back...

When's he getting back?

When you come with the other half, I'll have it.

You don't get the other half until I get the cash.

This is the second time you've dragged me out here.

If you can't come up with it by Christmas, you've lost your 1,500 deposit.

Look, Mr Versailles, I've got a good job at Yankee One Dollar.

They're probably going to make me manager right after Christmas, so

I can definitely make the payments if you just leave the house.

Just call me when you have the balloon payment.

I'll call you.

Where are they going?!

I'll get it back. I promise.

Get ready for school. You'll miss the bus.

I can get a job, you know.

You're 15, TJ.

They won't ask any questions.

You're finishing school.

You think we can make a living on what you make at Yankee Dollar?

You're going to school.

I bet I could make more than you do.

Where's Daddy?

He'll be back.

Aren't we even going to look for him?

I'm going to work and you're going to school.

-What, that's it?

-Where did he go?

On a business trip.

When is he coming home?

-I don't know, Ricky.

-I can't believe you're not even going to look for him.

Where? Where do I look?

-The reservation!

-He's probably in Atlantic City by now.

The glove compartment, that was so stupid.

You're going to school.

There you go.

Oh, hey! Lunch money.

OK. Go on. You're going to miss the bus.

-OVER LOUDSPEAKER:

-'Your next number, under the O, 66.'

'Your next number is B8.'

Thank you.

'You're listening to C-Tribe Radio all day long, number one for music and information.

'Joining me is Kenny. Good morning, Kenny.

'Good morning, and number one for entertainment, as well.

'Absolutely. One thing I like talking about is local entertainment

'and it seems like the Johnson boys are getting back together,

'it looks like they're going to be doing a performance over at St Patrick's Church...'

Fill it up?

No. Just three...two, three, four.

2.74, please.

2.74.

-No, make that 7.74.

-OK.

Did you see a Dodge Spirit in here last night?

-Dark green?

-Spirit? No.

But I only worked until nine. You can try asking inside, if you want.

No, that's OK.

Have a nice day.

-ON RADIO:

-'..are made by the children, and the gifts are only 5.

'It's all about the kids.

'Yeah, it's all about the kids. All the time. And also...'

Afternoon session is over. The next session starts at 6.30.

I don't want to play. I just need to look around for a second.

You have to pay the 5.

I'll stand at the door. I won't even go inside.

-I just need to see if my husband's in there.

-You have to pay the admission.

He's gambling away the money for our house.

What does he look like?

Long, brown hair.

Tall. Skinny.

-Ponytail.

-No, he's not in there.

-Can I just look?

-Lady, I just told you, he's not in there.

Hey! Hey! Hello!

Hey!

That's my car.

-What are you doing with my car?

-That? I found it.

-You stole it?

-Had the keys in it.

And so you just took it?

We'll see what the troopers have to say about that!

Go ahead. They got no jurisdiction here.

This is Mohawk territory.

Troy?

You in there?

If you are, you better come out.

Versailles says that if we get the money to him by Christmas, we won't lose our deposit.

I think we need to talk about this, Troy.

Come on out.

Troy?

GUNSHOT

I mean it, honey. Come on out.

The Tribal Police don't like people shooting holes in other people's houses.

This is New York State, so quit the bullshit and give me my goddamn keys!

This camper belongs to my brother-in-law.

He won't like this.

Then you should quit stealing cars.

I thought it was abandoned.

-The guy driving it got on a bus.

-A bus? To where?

New York. Buffalo.

I'm not sure.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? Yeah, what is it?

..Well, there's a hard-boiled egg in the fridge.

..Well, then take out the yolk.

..Look, TJ, I don't have time for this right now.

..No. I'm not looking for him. I got to go.

Shit!

I'm not leaving it.

I got a friend who might buy that.

It's not for sale.

He'll pay more than it's worth.

Maybe 2,000.

Why's that?

He's a smuggler.

He's always looking for cars with button-release trunks.

You don't need papers or anything.

Where does he live?

Through the woods. Not far.

-What's in it for you?

-He'll give me something for finding it.

If you try anything, I'm not afraid to use this.

(Yeah.)

-Turn up there.

-Where?

-Up at those trees.

-There's no road.

-There's a path.

It's not far.

I'm not crossing that.

Don't worry. There's no black ice.

-That's Canada.

-That's Mohawk land.

The rez is on both sides of the river.

What about the border patrol?

-There's no border.

-I'm still not crossing that.

Don't worry. It'll hold a Spirit.

I've seen semis cross it.

The only other way is the Cornwall Bridge, and they're not going to let you take that.

They plough it and everything.

This is so fucking stupid.

Better pick up some speed to get up the bank.

It's just on the other side of those trees.

DOGS BARKING

Honk the horn.

SHE HONKS HORN

No.

Keep your mouth shut. Just keep it shut. OK?

Thunder, shut up! Get back under there!

-He don't like whites, Lila.

-Sorry.

-And you're late.

-I'm sorry.

-I shouldn't even be dealing with you.

Count it.

What's going on here?

Just count it.

Come on. How much?

How much is there?

1,200.

Who the fuck are they?

Never mind.

I'm not going anywhere until those people get out of my trunk.

I'll give you half. Now, let's go.

-Let's go!

-I'm not taking them across the border. It's a crime.

There's no border here. This is free trade between nations.

-This isn't a nation.

-Let's go.

-Why'd your husband leave you?

-Fuck you.

Maybe he wanted a younger woman.

That's what usually happens.

I never have to worry about that. My husband's dead.

He went down in the river on a run.

They never found him.

Probably tangled in the river weeds somewhere.

You better slow down. There's ruts out here. You could get us stuck in one.

Keep going. Keep going.

-What if the troopers stop us?

-They're not going to stop you. You're white.

Stop and wait for him to come to the window.

Roll down your window.

Count it.

1,200.

Let's go.

Stop at those trees.

Now open the door. Open it!

-Now get out.

-You can't have my car.

-Get out!

-You can't have my car. No!

I told you not to use that thing when I'm not here.

If I get it working, I can sell it.

I don't care. Don't use that thing when I'm not here!

Rent-To-Own called. They said they're coming to get the TV if you don't pay by four tomorrow.

Did you find him?

-No.

-Where was the car?

At the bus stop on the rez.

I bet he went to Atlantic City.

-You don't know that.

-Yeah, well, you can find out.

Go to the bus station, see what buses came through last night.

And what? Chase him across the country? Miss work?

No.

-What happened to your head?

-Nothing.

-What, did you get in a fight with somebody?

-It was no big deal.

Wait. You got in a fight?

Some Indian chick tried to steal your dad's car.

No way. I say we go back there and kick some Mohawk ass.

It doesn't matter.

-Where's your car?

-I'll get it tomorrow.

Did you and Ricky eat?

That would be kind of miraculous, since there's no food in the house.

-There's food.

-Popcorn and Tang?

-Hi, Lila.

-Hi, Mick.

How's life at the Bingo Palace?

Good. How's business?

Oh, you know. It's OK.

-How much for the Sierra?

-Come on, Lila?

What? I've been saving up.

You know what.

-Does Bernie Littlewolf run your whole life?

-No, but he told me not to sell you a car.

I got to walk up 37 with semis kicking up snow and mud in my hair just to get to work.

For you, all's I got is the Civic and the Sundance.

I don't like Civics.

I figured.

Look, I'll give you 1,000 for the Sierra.

Nothing with a trunk.

That thing's been sitting out there for six months.

-I don't want Bernie in my face. OK?

-He doesn't have to know.

Chance! Come back in here before you freeze your ass off!

Chance!

Mommy?

What's going to happen to our old house when we get our new house?

They're going to flatten it and send it to China.

Then what?

They're going to melt it down and make it into little toys.

-Then what?

-Then they're going to send them back here so I can sell them at Yankee Dollar.

Can you get me some?

-That's right.

-Yes!

I'm not eating this again for dinner.

We just have to make it till my pay cheque on Friday.

-What about Rent-To-Own?

-What about them?

They said they're coming to get the TV if they don't get a payment by four.

-You told me that already.

-I know.

Here. Lunch money.

I still don't see why you won't just let me get a job with Mitch.

Who's Mitch?

He's got this whole business he runs at school.

He sells pot to kids?

No, Mom, it's computers. OK? He fixes computers.

You're 15. It's not going to happen, so forget it.

This is so stupid! We'll lose the TV, while I'm sitting in

some assembly when I could be out making...

Your job is looking after your brother.

Who's going to take care of him?

Come on, we're going.

Take them with you, honey. You need them at recess.

I still say we go down to the rez, get the Sentra and kick some serious butt.

Matt? Could I talk to you for a minute?

-I need to come on full-time.

-I see you as a short-timer.

What is that?

Not here for long, not really committed.

When I started working here, you told me it would be six months before I could come on full-time.

-That was almost two years ago.

-That's my opinion.

You know, I mean...

at least I show up.

Pat's always late. She's late now.

Late every day.

-See you tomorrow.

-See you.

I want my half.

You hear me. I want my half.

I'll give you the money if you give me the car.

No way.

The money's gone.

Then I want to get more of those Chinese.

It's going to cost me to get that hole fixed.

I froze last night.

I just need enough for the balloon payment for my double-wide, and then I'm out of this.

-I'm no criminal.

-It's not a crime.

You people can call it what you want. I just want my double.

I don't usually work with whites.

How many bedrooms?

Three. I got kids.

-How old?

-Five and 15.

I got a boy.

Almost one.

He lives with my mother-in-law.

-She stole him from me.

-Stole him?

-Yeah.

Right out of the hospital.

Did you call the cops?

Tribal Police don't get involved in stuff like that.

Get under there!

Bernie was asking if I'd seen you.

-I told him no.

-Thanks.

I don't want any trouble from him, Lila.

Don't worry about it.

This guy's been calling all morning. He's got two by the old tyres.

OK.

What's going on?

We got to pick them up.

-What the hell is going on?

-Keep that thing down.

Roll down the window. See what he wants.

-What's going on here?

-Just roll it down.

-They don't like the women driver.

-Count it.

Pop the trunk. Pop the trunk!

1,200.

Hey!

Get in.

This should keep them from running.

Why would they want to run?

To get away from the Snakeheads.

What's that?

The snakeheads pay to get them here and then they got to work off what they owe.

How much does it cost?

40-50,000, depends on where they're coming from.

Sometimes they got to work for years to pay it off.

To get here? No fucking way.

..Yes. Yes. Hello. Is this Mrs Irene Three Rivers?

..Mrs Three Rivers, I have good news.

..I am the business manager of Mr E F Three Rivers, and I have been

authorized to inform you that you have inherited money.

..26,750.

..No, no, you have no obligation whatsoever, Mrs Three Rivers.

..Just a small processing fee of 29 will authorize me

to send your first instalment of 13,375.

..You can place it on any major credit card.

..Sure, I can hold.

..Yes?

..Oh. OK.

..Yes, um, which credit card?

-Are they always there?

-Yeah.

They won't stop you unless you give them a reason to.

-You ever been caught?

-Once.

What happened?

They gave me the choice of paying a fine or spending three months in jail.

What did you do?

I paid the fine.

I made it back in two nights of smuggling,

but back then it was cigarettes and everybody did it.

Some of the troopers were into it, too.

-Smuggling?

-Yeah.

-Count it.

-Right, I know.

-Make sure it's right.

-I don't want to get stiffed.

-Then why don't you count it?

I got bad eyes.

Looks good.

Shit.

HE SPEAKS IN CHINESE

You're welcome(!)

-What about mine?

-Now we're even.

Um...

My mom told me to give you her credit card number.

We only take cash or money orders.

Well, she's going to be a little late.

She's got three minutes.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Hey... It's OK, guys, I got it right here.

It's 255.50, right?

Fifty-five...

Mommy!

Hey! Come here!

-Who wants to go to PC, huh?

-Me.

-Mm-hm.

You want to go to the Chopper?

-Where'd you get that?

-Matt made me assistant manager.

Buckle you in...

-No way.

-That so hard to believe?

It's been, like, two years.

Exactly. That's why he gave me a bonus.

Do you want to go to the Chopper or not?

Yeah.

But you better not blow it all on that bubble bath stuff - which you never even open.

I'm going to use that sooner than you think.

In a big fancy tub.

ON TV: 'Some big changes in the weather department here.

'A clipper system is going to zip on down from Canada.

'Temperatures are going to dip down big time - not only tonight, into tomorrow, as well.

'But that's not all. We're expecting anywhere from to eight to 12 inches to accumulate,

'winds 25 to 40 miles an hour,

'and it's going to feel like it's 30 below out there.

'Farmers are advised to bring their livestock in.

'Now, we'll be back right after this message.

'Hot Wheels! Beat that!

'Want a blast? Want to crash...?'

-That's what he wants.

-What?

For Christmas.

'..slam your competition...'

What is it again?

Hot Wheels Blast and Crash Track.

I'm getting something even better than that.

Yeah? What?

The double-wide.

Don't mention it to Ricky yet, just in case.

Yeah...(!)

Just in case.

It's for real this time.

What about Dad?

What about him?

-What are you going to do?

-Why, did he call broke yet?

No, but maybe he would if you weren't so bitter.

Here we go again with Saint Dad...

That's what I mean, Mom, you're always on him. "Give me your pay check.

"Where's your receipts? Do you need a meeting?"

He's an addict, TJ.

You're still bitter.

I need you and Ricky to put up the Christmas tree after school tomorrow, OK?

-Where are YOU going?

-Christmas shopping.

PHONE: 'If you would like to re-record your greeting, press star.

'To change your personal greeting, press one.

'To record greeting, press three.'

Hi, it's me. Leave a message and I'll call you back.

'Hi, it's me. Leave a message and I'll call you back.'

'To change your personal greeting, press one.

'To record greeting, press three.'

Hi, it's me. Leave a message, I'll call you back. (Son of a bitch.)

'Hi, it's me. Leave a message, I'll call you back. (Son of a bitch.)'

Lila! Get up!

I got a job for you.

There's two people out sick today. If we get down there, you got a job.

Huh?

Get your jacket, let's go. I got coffee.

-Where are we going?

-Get in. I'll tell you on the way.

Rita said you quit.

-She fired me.

-That's not what she told me.

Well, she should have. I couldn't see to count the money. I told you that.

It was coming up short half the time.

Then get some glasses.

They make me carsick.

So where are we going?

Tribal Council. They need someone to answer phones.

-No! No way.

-Why? You can't answer phones?

Not there. Not with them.

What's that?

-I bought it.

-From who?

Some white lady.

What?!

-What do YOU need a car for?

-To get to work.

So I don't have to walk in the breakdown lane.

Last week, I almost got hit by a plough.

You'll live.

And you know what I'm talking about.

All right, all right. I'll go.

Let's go!

-3.76.

-I got exact.

CASH REGISTER WHIRS

SHE TEARS UP RECEIPT

Do I have any messages?

I can't read this.

That's a "T".

No, I can't read ANY of it.

I told Bernie I couldn't see.

Never mind...

I'll go.

-We got to go to Wolfmart and get some antifreeze, unless you got extra.

-Why?

I think you got a leak in your heater coil.

It's making your windows fog up.

We better hurry, because I got nothing for under the tree.

CHILD CRIES

RADIO: Cold snap for tonight

with low temperatures dropping down to 19 below Fahrenheit.

Very hazardous for the cars and also the Ski-Doos.

Stay off the roads if you can.

Currently outside our C-Tribe Radio studios, it's five below Fahrenheit.

Mohawks don't celebrate Christmas.

You could have fooled me,

the way they were all lined up at Yankee Dollar today.

-Those are Christians, the converted.

-From what?

The long house ways.

That's messed up, not having Santa Claus.

For the kids, I mean.

-The oxygen!

-Urgh!

TV: It's the Blast and Crash Track set!

You've timed it right to slam your competition.

So load, lock and launch...

Dad's going to get me that for Christmas.

Yeah? What about Santa Claus?

Santa Claus is going to get me the house for Christmas.

-Wait. They're not Chinese.

-They're Pakis.

-What's that mean?

-They're from Pakistan.

-Well, where's that?

-I don't know. What difference does it make?

-A big difference.

If we wait much longer, we're not going to be able to get back across the river.

Look, I'm not driving just anybody across the border.

-Do you want the money?

-I want to know what's in that bag.

What's in there?

They don't understand you.

If they want to come here so bad, they should take the time to learn English.

-BANGS ON WINDOW

-Hold on a second.

Woah! Woah! Hold on a second.

What are you doing? Just count the money and let's go.

If we get stuck on the river, it won't matter what's in there.

Let's just hope they're not the ones that blow themselves and everyone else up.

We don't have time.

Is that a 20 or a 50?

50.

Shit!

What are you doing?

Nuclear power, poison gas. Who knows what they might have in there?

I'm not going to be responsible for that.

Hey, I'm going to be a little late. OK?

I'm at work.

Is Ricky asleep? Put him on.

Now listen, Ricky, he's not coming till you go to sleep.

No. Not yet.

He's still flying over Canada.

He's not even done with Canada yet,

so he's not coming until you get to sleep.

Hi. Is Mitch there?

Yeah. Hey.

No, TJ from school.

Yeah. Yeah.

I was just wondering if you still needed those numbers

we talked about earlier.

Cos, uh...

Only thing is, I don't really have any wheels at the moment, so...

On Moira Road, off of 37.

Mm-hmm.

One more thing.

Can you go to Kmart and pick me up a Blast and Crash Track set?

Yeah, exactly.

-Uh, thanks, man.

-TJ, look at me.

Yeah, that's pretty cool, but it's going to hurt when you sit down.

Now, unwrap yourself. It's dinner time.

PIPES CREAK AND GROAN

Hey, I'll be right back. OK?

-They say there's a bag.

-It was too heavy. We had to unload it.

SHE SHOUTS IN URDU AND BANGS WINDOW

What's the matter with her? What's she saying?

That bag, her baby is in the bag.

It didn't feel like there was anything in that bag.

-We got to go back.

-I know. I know that.

-Hey.

-This the right one?

-Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Thanks, man.

-Have a merry one.

-OK.

Look. There. Tracks.

-Where?

-Up there.

Slow down. I don't want to run over it.

Stop. I think it was here.

It's dead.

Oh, my God.

Come on.

It's dead.

-Tap the bottom of his feet.

-Why?

That's what they did to get Ricky breathing when he was born.

-I don't want to touch it.

-I can't hold it and drive.

I don't think it matters.

-Just hold it next to your body. Keep him warm.

-But it's too late!

Just do it.

We can't give it back to her cold.

Shit! Shit!

-What do I do?

-Calm down! Pull over.

What if he saw us go by before to the Pioneer?

He's got no reason to stop us, unless you give him one. Just keep your mouth shut.

-What if he searches the car? What do we say about...

-He won't!

Just remember, you're white!

License and registration.

Could you step out of the vehicle, please, ma'am?

I wasn't speeding, was I?

-Did I do something?

-I'm just directing you to step out of the vehicle.

-OK.

Step behind the vehicle.

-You see that?

-Oh!

-Your left rear parking light, it's not illuminated.

-Oh, I didn't know.

I'm going to have to give you a provisional ticket.

-As long as you get it repaired within 48 hours, it won't be a problem.

-Thanks.

Who's your friend?

She takes care of my kids when I have to work late.

You can step back in the vehicle.

We got to take it in.

-What is it?

-It's moving.

-What? Are you sure?

Hello, little baby.

He was just cold.

We found him.

Come on. Let's go.

He was dead.

He was just cold.

He was dead.

OK. Whatever.

He was dead. You brought him back to life.

That was the Creator, not me.

All I know is Kmart is closed, and I got nothing for under the tree.

Here.

-Merry Christmas...or whatever.

-Yeah.

Bernie!

What's that?

Hot Wheels.

Where'd you get it?

I called a friend.

That kid Mitch? It's probably stolen.

It's not stolen.

I don't want you hanging around with him. That kid is bad news.

It's not like you were going to get it.

Move it. Move it! Listen, mister.

I got more important things to worry about than toys.

I'm trying to get our double-wide.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that(!)

You can lose that attitude.

Anyway, Kmart was closed by the time I got off work.

What's that smell?

Popcorn.

Hi, it's me. I can't get to the phone right now. Please leave a message.

And, Troy, if it's you, please, at least let us know you're alive.

The boys are really worried about you.

Daddy!

Is there a Ray Eddy here?

-Yes.

-Can I talk to you outside for a minute?

I haven't gotten that light fixed yet.

It's not about that.

I just have a few questions.

Uh, sure. One second.

I'll be back in a second.

-This is about the woman that was with you.

-Yeah.

How long have you known her?

Not long. She looks after my kids.

She's a smuggler.

-Really?

-There is that element on the reservation. I'm sure you know.

Well, I've heard about it. I had no idea she was involved.

How did you meet her?

Um... I think there was a sign for a babysitter at Wolf Mart.

-That's where I get my gas.

-I just thought you should be aware of that.

She's known to have brought illegal aliens into the country.

-Oh, my God.

-If I were you, I'd get a new babysitter.

Absolutely.

Well, you have an enjoyable holiday.

You, too.

TJ, could you come out here a minute?

TJ, get your ass out here!

What did he want? Did something happen to Dad?

-No.

-What did he want?

Did you have a fire here last night?

Uh, the pipes froze, so I fixed them.

You fixed them?

-Yeah.

-Did you use the blowtorch?

-Dad did it before.

-So you used the blowtorch!

Look at this! We can't live here any more!

So what? It's just a tin crapper.

No, this was our house.

So, we're getting a new one, right?

That's it!

-Damn it!

-No. What are you...?

-Son of a bitch! Don't touch it!

It's not yours. Dad gave it to me!

-Put it down!

-Are you going to shoot me now, too?

Maybe he didn't like getting shot in his own house!

Maybe that's why he left!

That was an accident.

Yeah, some accident! You shot him in the foot!

-TJ, he spent the food money on scratch cards.

-He'd done it before.

Yeah, and he was clean 32 months since then.

-Give me that.

-No, you can't have it.

It's mine.

Give it to me!

I didn't know any other way to keep us together.

I mean,

he's a good dad

when he's not gambling.

Yeah.

Awesome dad(!)

Robs us and takes off a week before Christmas.

-I quit smuggling.

-TJ set the trailer on fire.

He didn't mean to, but the pipes froze and he took out that damn torch,

which I told him not to touch when I wasn't there, and he thawed them out.

I got glasses, and I can see up close now.

There's a hole in my house.

We got to move. I just need one more run to get the double.

Look, you can have the Spirit. OK?

I don't want it.

What is it then? You still mad about that baby?

Cos it wasn't my fault.

I mean, who puts their baby in a duffle bag?

You're going to need a lot of money to raise that one-year-old kid.

I got enough.

Yeah, but you still got to get him.

I'll help you. You can even borrow my gun.

You should see the inside.

-How many bedrooms?

-Three.

And there's a Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom.

-Wall-to-wall carpet?

-Oh, yeah.

But the best thing is the insulation.

Pipes can never freeze.

I'll be right back.

There's never any need to touch up or repaint these walls.

I want to schedule a delivery.

Just give me one sec.

What exactly is it I can do for you?

It's 3,000, but I want it delivered tomorrow.

You did have a closing date on Christmas.

I'm here now. You add this to my deposit. All you have to do is show up.

If I don't have the rest, you can keep it.

All right, well, I just need you to sign this paper here,

and you'll be ready to go. Right there.

I'm sorry about that.

SHE HONKS HORN

-Heat wave.

-You got a run for us, Jimmy?

It's pretty slow after Christmas, unless you want to go off the rez.

There's that guy up in Montreal. He's usually got heads.

-What? You want a job?

-No, Jimmy sent us.

Christy.

Put your hands up.

-They have nothing.

-OK.

Pop the back.

We need to get paid first.

-There's only 600 here.

-You get the rest at the drop off.

It's 600 apiece.

You want to make a change now?

It's 1,200.

You want to have a problem? Huh?

-Because it's not a problem for me. It is a problem for them!

-Hey!

OK. OK. We'll take them. We'll take them with us. Open the trunk.

-Let's go!

-Just open the trunk.

In...bitch.

-Turn around!

-Bruno!

I want the rest.

But I have nothing.

GUNSHOT

Bruno, qu'est ce que je fais?

Let's go! Let's get out of here. I'll give you the rest of the money.

-No. Thanks.

-You're going to get us all killed.

Give it to her. Give it to her.

-Je ne sais pas quoi faire!

-Tais-toi! Tais-toi!

-Bruno!

-He shot me. I'm shot.

-I think you're OK.

You should have just took the money from me.

I'm sick and tired of people stealing from me. Is it all there?

-We got to get out of here first.

-Just count it.

-Make sure it's all there.

-OK, OK. All right.

-Is it there?

-It's all there.

-Good.

Slow down a bit. We got to keep it under the speed limit.

We got to get off this road.

We got to get off this road.

SIREN WAILS

Oh, shit!

-Where's the reservation?

-Just past that pole right there.

What the hell? We're on the rez.

-They can't arrest us, but if they catch us they can take the money.

-Shit!

It's black ice out here.

-Will it hold us?

-I don't know.

Shit.

Get out on your side! Pop the trunk! Get the cash. You got the cash?

-Yeah.

-Come on. Let's go.

Hey, Lila! Over here!

Jimmy, you're not coming in here.

We just need to borrow your oven.

We have a situation with a couple of smugglers.

They tried to go across the river, but their car went in.

And now the troopers know that they're on the reservation.

Who are they?

Lila Littlewolf and some white woman.

What do the troopers want?

They want the surrender of the two illegals.

Second, they want the surrender of the non-native smuggler.

They really mean to set an example over here.

-Do you know where they are?

-Yeah. They're probably over at Velma's.

What about Lila Littlewolf?

You can't start throwing Mohawks off the rez, Rosalie.

She's got a Mohawk son.

She cost us a Mohawk son.

Jake was a big boy. He knew what he was doing.

Jimmy, get out of here.

You, too.

I need my half.

No, no, no. You stay here.

Stay here.

-Hi, Lila.

-Hi, Bernie.

You're in big trouble. The Council voted to expel you.

-Expel me?

-For five years.

You can appeal, but I don't think you'll change Rosalie's mind.

I thought all this was legal on the reservation.

-Look, I got to go.

-If she leaves, they'll turn you in.

The troopers want somebody.

-But she's a Mohawk.

-The chiefs want her out.

There's going to be nobody standing between her and the troopers.

My kids got no-one but me.

If you leave, she'll never see her son again.

Let her go.

Lila, you're giving up on him. He's only a year old.

Just go.

At least you've got family to take care of him, you know?

I wanted the baby to have a pretty new crib,

not some hand me down.

He wouldn't let me go alone.

I was too fat to fit behind the steering wheel.

He just wanted to keep you and Little Jake safe.

Just a couple of months, right?

I got no record, and I'm white.

I got baby stuff in the shed.

Get a good, used single-wide.

Insulation is the key thing.

Versailles will give you a hard time,

but that will leave enough for you and the boys to live on for a couple of months.

Ricky's allergic to penicillin,

and you can't feed him potato chips all the time. OK?

But you got to get there quick,

cos TJ will get scared.

And I don't want him to get scared. OK?

OK?

OK.

Don't let Versailles jerk you around.

You go with her, OK?

Sure.

KNOCKING

-What do you want?

-I need his coat.

Where's his coat?

You can't have him.

-You can't have him!

-Say goodbye to your Toda.

Speak English? Speak English?

What happens to them?

They'll probably go back.

But how long for me?

You know, if I confess?

Providing they're not on a watch list,

four months.

-I don't think you have that much to worry about.

-Can I have a cigarette?

Is there someone that I can call for you to take care of your children?

I got somebody.

A relative?

A friend.

But I need to call my kids.

Mom, what did you do?

..What? A smuggler? Holy shit!

..Are you in jail?

..Yeah, but are you going to be in jail?

..Yeah, OK. But...

..But why? I can do it. I look after him all the time.

I don't see why we need...

..Yeah, I'm still here.

KNOCKING

Hi.

..OK.

You've got to put the little pieces up higher or he'll eat them. OK?

-You know a little boy named Troy Junior?

-Yeah.

Troy!

Would you come here? I want to talk to you.

You know, you did a bad thing to an old lady, and I'd ike

to introduce her to you and give you a chance to apologise.

I know you're probably a good kid, and you want to set this right.

Come on.

Tell her you're sorry.

Sorry.

OK? You did good.

Now, don't do that again.

Hey, come here.

Muddy.

# It rushes away

# Sometimes it takes

# Everything with it

# Ooh-ooh

# Ooh-ooh

# It always comes

# Big open space

# I always stay

# I always listen... #
