Catching Dust (2023)

[bunniefuu]

[Wind howling]

[Heavy breathing]

[Woman screaming]

[g*nsh*t]

[Sketching]

[Gasps] Oh, sh*t...

You really think I'm blind,

don't ya?

What?

Clyde, I wasn't hiding nothin'.

[Spraying]

I don't know the point of

putting that stuff over sweat.

Ooh, okay, I get it.

You smell like you

wanna be left alone.

Point taken.

You ready to be useful?

Hey, I was...

I was thinking that maybe

we could get some things

to spruce up the trailer a bit?

Like a... like a TV

or a radio, you know?

Just... somethin' to pass time.

Well, I gotta go

get supplies later.

Maybe I could come into town

with ya this time.

You know

that ain't a good idea.

When will it be?

Whatcha get?

Water, gas, soap, bulbs.

Nothin' different.

Did you get a look

at something for the trailer?

Do you think I can just go

window shoppin'?

Where's our money situation at?

Not good enough for a TV.

Hmm...

How about an even smaller cage

to keep me in?

What?

Nothin'.

Nothin', Clyde.

Go... go hide the truck.

You wanna help me

with these?

You been getting back

later and later these days.

Hmm?

Whatcha up to?

Mmm...

Evenin', cowboy.

I need to wash up.

[Geena] Clyde?

Mmm...

[Sighs]

I wish my momma

could see me now.

She never thought I could

take care of my man like this.

Okay.

There you go, darlin'.

Well, I wouldn't worry

about that mother of yours.

[Geena] Mmm.

Clyde?

Why is my stuff

laying in the trash?

Geena, I...

You're gonna take

this away from me as well?

- No, Geena...

- Clyde!

- Geena...

- Clyde, no. No!

- Geena...

- No, stop it! Listen to me.

- Listen to me.

- Just calm down.

No, you stop!

This has gone too far.

- This has gone too far.

- Baby, Geena, please...

No. No, no, I can't.

- Geena...

- I can't do this, Clyde.

- I-I need things.

- Honey...

I need things that the desert

can't give me, Clyde.

Geena, please, okay?

I don't know

what you're tryin' to do to me.

- Baby...

- I'm done.

- Geena, you don't under...

- No.

Geena!

I'd rather face what's outside

than live another day like this.

Geena, for Christ's sake,

will you just hold on?

Hey, just listen to me

a minute...

No, no! Listening to you

was the worst mistake

I ever made in my life.

Now I'm slowly dying.

Never again.

That's what you said, Clyde!

I knew you wouldn't change.

I knew it.

[Sobbing]

Oh...

[Gentle clattering]

[Truck door opens]

Andy?

Er... Andy, where are we?

[Scoffs]

Andy!

f*ck, okay.

Can you help me?

Thank you.

Do you know where we are?

Andy!

[Andy] Hello?

[Knocking on door]

[Amaya] What are you doing?

[Knocking continues]

[Andy] Hello!

Oh. Hi.

Is this Karl-Madison Commune?

That's what the sign says,

don't it?

Where is the commune?

What business you got here?

We're on vacation

from New York.

It took us hours

to finally find this place.

We thought

it was a thriving community.

Where did you hear that?

A, er... a library.

A directory of communes.

So... y'all came out here

on vacation?

Well, we wanted to get out

of the city for a while.

This isn't

what we had in mind though.

[Amaya] Yeah.

[Geena] Well, um...

my name is Geena.

It's such a pleasure

to meet y'all.

I'm sorry if I came across

as rude earlier,

it's just... it's not often

you get new neighbors out here.

No, we're not...

we're not staying.

Well, we got running water.

we got food.

My husband, Clyde,

he goes huntin' daily,

so it's all fresh.

And we got

some of the best sunsets

y'all find in Texas.

I mean, they'll blow your mind.

They're beautiful.

I mean... this couldn't be

further from New York, right?

[Chuckles] Yeah, that's right.

Hey, why don't y'all come inside

and fix you a drink, hmm?

You're probably parched,

from the trip.

I'm sorry, I... I think

there's been a misunderstanding.

Um... thank you, but I'm gonna

get the driver to drive us back.

- Excuse us for a moment?

- Uh-huh.

Amaya?

This has all been organized.

We can't just turn around.

Are you f*cking

kidding me, Andy?

You wanted to reset.

What could possibly

be more different than this?

- [Amaya scoffs]

- Amaya, look at me.

[Indistinct chatter]

- [Andy] Oh, my God!

- Hi!

Clyde, Clyde.

Come on, babe, that is no way

to welcome our new neighbors.

Put it down, baby.

That's right.

[Scoffs]

Who the hell would come here

on vacation?

Well, them obviously.

And you just invited them in?

[Sighs] I can't just chase

them away, Clyde. I can't.

That's exactly what you

should've done.

- How's that?

- [Clyde sighs]

We can't risk being found

out here.

Oh, come on, Clyde.

There's probably two people

in west Texas

that knows this place exists

and they're staring

at each other right now.

What about Copperhead?

Copperhead?

Copperhead?

Oh, my God, you're paranoid.

No, I'm tryin' to keep us alive.

What the f*ck is going on, Andy?

Your idea of a sabbatical

is having a redneck

pulling his g*n on us?

Do you really think

I need this right now?

I'm gonna have the driver

come pick us up.

- He couldn't have gone far.

- You won't get a signal.

How do you know?

Your phone's still in the bag.

- [Busy line signal]

- What?

I don't see many cell towers

around here.

Okay, let's go find

another phone.

How?

We're in the desert.

Well, when's the driver

coming back?

Twenty days.

Twenty days?

Well, I thought getting away

from everything

would do us some good.

I'm gonna get my truck,

drive 'em to a motel.

No! Clyde, Clyde,

you can't do that.

Why? Why's that?

What the f*ck you think

is gonna happen

when they get to town, huh?

They're gonna run

straight to the sheriff.

They're gonna tell him

that they found

a trailer

in the middle of the desert

and... and a roughneck owner

who pulled his riffle on 'em,

who was just itchin'

to run 'em off the patch.

The last thing we want

is Brewster County deputies

sniffing around here.

Clyde, hey, just listen to me.

All we gotta do is play cool.

Don't raise hell

and they gonna wanna leave

all on their own.

Come on, baby,

you know I'm right.

[Sighs]

How is it?

Mmm...

Mmm.

Hey, again,

we're... we're real sorry

about the misunderstanding

earlier.

It's just... in the time

that we've been here

we never seen another soul

on this land

and it-it kinda caught us

by surprise.

- Thank you.

- [Geena] Mmm.

I grew up

about three hours yonder,

and my best friend was a girl

named Dharlene Tannon,

pretty little thing.

I hadn't thought about her

in a while,

but they found oil sittin'

right under her daddy's house

so he took them on vacation

to New York.

And she told me that where

the sky sits you got glass,

that you can't see the ground

for all the feet on it,

and there ain't nothin'

that you can't buy.

I gotta ask, why on earth would

you leave that to come here?

That's a very good question.

What do y'all do for work?

I work in finance,

but I hate it.

I... I teach art lessons

two nights a week

to keep me sane.

Really?

Well, I...

I dabble myself, actually.

[Andy] Oh.

I teach Abstract Expressionism.

[Geena] Abstract?

I don't know, that... that just

looks like one big mess to me.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, I mean for me at least

it's like seeing someone's soul

spilled onto a page.

Hmm...

[Andy] I'd... I'd love to see

some of your work.

Oh, yeah, that sounds...

That jackrabbit

didn't give its life

so we could watch it

go cold.

Oh, I-I was gettin' to it.

Yeah...

Geena, I...

I picked up some pastries

from this spot

we love in New York.

Would you like to try one?

Oh...

Oh, wow!

I made dessert.

I put the syrup on the junipers,

how you like 'em.

- Oh, er...

- Geena?

Mm-hmm?

When would you ever get

the taste of New York

delivered straight

to your door?

I-I... I mean, it would be rude

not to try.

- Wow...

- That one's really good.

Okay...

Oh, my.

Oh...

[Giggles]

You better keep those

away from me.

No, have some more. There's

plenty where that came from.

[Clyde] Geena.

Night.

- [Clyde] Where you goin'?

- Hmm?

Nowhere. I just...

I wanted to give the-the kitchen

a tidyin', that's all.

[Clears throat]

You not goin' huntin'?

I been out, come back already.

Empty hands though.

Like everything had gone,

buried itself away,

deep as possible.

[Knocking on door]

Hold on.

I was just wondering if you

could show me around?

Like... where things are,

how things work.

This is all really new to us.

[Clyde] Well, I'm busy here.

Okay, well... Geena?

How about you?

Do you mind?

Sure, yeah.

I got you.

[Clyde sighs]

Okay.

If you're planning on hangin'

your clothes up there,

take the one at the back.

How do things stay clean

when it's so windy?

Well, you gotta wash 'em.

Do that over here.

You wanna boil that water if you

plannin' on drinkin' it though.

You get used to that

pretty fast.

- You don't like 'em?

- No, no, I'm...

I'm trying to understand

the mindset behind them.

The mindset...

Um...

I-I just put my pencil

on the paper and...

...that's what comes out.

One thing I try

and teach my students is...

...honesty.

Freeing your voice enough

to let it guide your work.

H-how do you do that?

Don't think about it,

let the brush guide you.

Mmm... okay.

[Clyde] Beets, peppers,

tomatoes, cabbage, greens.

They need water twice a day

or they gonna die on ya

pretty quick.

[Amaya] Do you think you can

make some room for me?

I brought some plants

from New York.

[Clyde] How's that gonna work?

[Amaya] You can just make

a little section.

They're not gonna last

much longer in their pots.

That ain't gonna happen.

And why is that?

Because this here

keeps us alive.

This is the only place

around here

that has fertile soil, Clyde.

Anyway, last time I checked

this was a shared commune.

I don't think

you get to decide.

They ain't goin' on this patch.

Trust your instinct.

Er...

I'm... I-I-I...

Mmm... I'm not... I'm not sure

what I'm doing here, I...

No, no, I don't... I-I don't

understand this, er...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm wasting your time.

- Don't apologize.

- I'm sorry.

- This takes time.

- I just...

This is really...

...really nice.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

[Door opens and slams]

- [Clyde] Geena!

- Oh, er...

Thank you.

Thank you for this.

Who the hell

does he think he is

telling me where I can

and can't put my plants?

- Does it really matter?

- Yes. Yes, it does matter.

He's not gonna treat me

the same way he treats Geena.

That's not

what this is about, Amaya.

I mean, you can't blame the guy

for getting his back up

the way you've been behaving.

That's a strange feeling.

What is?

I don't know, Andy,

it just feels like...

...every time I really need you

you're not there.

What?

I was alone.

I was really scared and...

I told you something was wrong

and you weren't there.

Yeah, well...

Maybe there's always

something wrong.

I made 'em

with fresh buttermilk,

just how you like.

I know you get frustrated

with the powdered stuff.

What are you doin'?

Being a good puppet.

Just like you want.

It's just... you're acting

like a spoilt brat.

Andy, you're a rich kid

who walked into LNI

as an analyst while I rotted

away as an assistant

when we both know

that I had the better grades!

I thought we left

all this behind in New York.

You can't just switch it off.

Andy, I'm a shell

wandering around

without purpose or direction.

You think I can just

run away from that?

Okay, I got it wrong.

But you won't even try.

Look at this thing with Clyde.

You won't stop.

It's over.

And over, and over again.

It's like beating your head

against the wall.

It's incessant, Amaya.

You still don't know what

those plants mean, do you?

They're just plants.

They're not

just f*cking plants, Andy.

I'm the one thing

that's keeping them alive.

- We need to be invisible!

- Ah, Clyde!

They're about as much

of a treat

as a... as a toothless dog,

and you know it.

This ain't no game, Geena.

I don't want you messin'

with them.

Or what, Clyde?

[Door opens and closes]

Whatcha gonna do?

You gonna hit me again?

[Electric flickering]

[Geena] sh*t.

I'll get it.

[Andy] How often

do you refill it?

Er... just every now and then.

Well...

...it'll be our turn next.

Do you want any...

Do you want a hand?

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine, thank you.

[Generator whirring]

[Indistinct chatter]

- [Geena] Thank you so much.

- [Andy] You're welcome.

[Geena] Thank you.

I better head in. There's a pile

of laundry in there

that's formed a small mountain

on the floor.

I hope you enjoy it.

That there is my Bible.

Amen.

[Cell turning off]

[Geena] I can't wait to dig in.

My momma was right.

Always stretching for things

I can't reach.

You know, she said

I should've been born a man.

Why a man?

Well, out here you're...

...you're good for a housewife

or a waitress.

It's just...

It's not like where you're from.

[Door opens and closes]

I'm just gonna hang these.

Hey.

Come here a minute.

[Amaya] What is it?

[Andy] I dreamt about my mother

again last night.

Do you wanna tell me

about it?

No.

- [Geena] Hey.

- [Andy] Hi.

You making some headway

on that laundry?

Well, if I can actually

keep the clothes on the line

I'd be getting somewhere.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, I feel you there.

Hey, I was... I was wondering

that maybe if you're free later

we might have another...

I was worried I'd scared you off

with my abstract theory.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

I wanna... I wanna get this.

I do.

Well, I'm glad.

You have real potential.

Are you just saying that?

No.

[Amaya gasps] Guys! Guys!

Oh, I'll-I'll-I'll go. Okay.

- Got you.

- Okay, yeah.

Alright, I got it.

You know your tools, huh?

My dad was a mechanic.

I used to spend all day

watching him when I was a kid.

Alright.

- That should do it.

- Okay.

Well, this better work,

otherwise we're gonna be

in some trouble.

Let's see.

- Hey!

- Yeah!

Okay, let's see.

Yeah, now it seems

to be workin'... just fine.

Geena, don't even think

about it.

Geena, I'm serious!

I'm gonna just get some

for myself,

I need some perking up,

I've been in the heat.

- [Amaya] Geena...

- [Andy laughing]

[All giggle and shriek]

[Andy] Amaya! Amaya, stop.

Have you lost

your g*dd*mn mind?

We've already had a g*n

pulled on us.

Amaya, stop this now!

Stop now!

Get your f*cking hands off me!

Clyde?

What happened the night

before we came out here?

What's that?

That night that you turned up

at my momma's house and...

...told me we had to disappear.

What happened exactly?

You know this.

Indulge me, Clyde.

I needed one last job.

Copperhead told me

about a truck.

I hit it, it was empty.

Copperhead didn't believe me.

[Geena] No, no.

That's bullshit, Clyde.

[Clyde] I don't know what

the hell you want me to say.

[Geena] The rest of it, Clyde.

What you're tellin' me

don't make no sense.

Oh, how's that?

You know that them being here

don't mean nothin'

to Copperhead finding us.

So it must be the police

that you're scared of.

Now, you told me that they

probably wanna question you

about the bank truck,

but that they had nothin' on ya.

Well, that's what I said

and that's the truth.

It can't be. It can't be, Clyde,

because those two,

those two got your tail up

like I have never seen.

They must have a warrant on you.

[Clyde] There ain't no warrant!

Or... or the crime carries more

time than you're lettin' on.

Geena, what the hell are you

tryin' to say? This is me, okay?

Can't you see

what they're doin' to us?

Goddammit!

This is them gettin' into you.

Damn it, Clyde!

It ain't them, it's you!

[Door slams]

Come with me.

[Geena] What the hell

is goin' on?

[Clyde] We're here.

[Geena] What...

I was hopin' to have it

a little further along

before I showed it

to you, but...

I positioned it

so we get that nice morning sun.

I was thinking that the bathroom

could be right here,

you know, with a full tub,

maybe like a... separate

shower or somethin'.

Maybe the bedroom

could be up here.

You know,

nothin' set in stone,

so we... pretty much design it

however we want.

Whacha think?

What does this mean?

It's a home, Geena.

For us.

I mean, I know how much

being in that tired trailer

gets you down and...

We could make our own rules

out here.

Out here?

Out her... Clyde.

You told me

that we were just layin' low

until Copperhead

stopped lookin'.

That's what you said.

You know...

My momma used to...

to bring me out to this place

when we was staying

on the commune and...

You know,

this is beautiful country.

You know?

And I was tryin' to have

the damn roof done by now.

Fell behind schedule

when those two...

I mean, if you could only

see it.

No, no, no, I see it.

I-I do,

I see it perfectly, Clyde.

I knew it.

I knew that you were lyin'

when you said we would move

into town when we got married.

I knew it.

But we out here now.

Okay? That's all that matters.

Whether it's another month

or... a year, I mean...

Wouldn't you rather have a place

you can call home

than be stuck in that trailer

another day? I mean...

I don't know what's going

through your head,

but that's all

I'm thinkin' about.

Well, tell me you like it,

at least.

I mean, I-I-I've been workin'

like a dog to fix it up for ya.

I...

Geena!

You okay?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah.

Hmm...

It's a matcha.

Japanese green tea.

They were my fix

when I was pregnant.

There's this little

Japanese grocer downtown

in the Lower East Side.

I used to go all the time,

it was like... my little ritual.

I didn't know y'all had a child.

We don't.

Knowing my body failed me

is something I'm gonna have

to live with

for the rest of my life.

Geena...

If Clyde is in trouble

with the police

that's not your fault.

But if he hurts somebody

and you don't stop him...

...then that's on you forever.

[Geena] I-I don't know

what you're talkin' about...

I know, Geena.

Okay, Amaya, you must...

You must be confused

about somethin'.

I heard Clyde talking

about the robbery, okay?

Do you really believe

he's as innocent as he says?

Amaya...

Clyde would break locks

and drive, that's it.

That's it.

He ain't never hurt nobody.

And you believe him

because that's what he told you?

Okay, you and I

could go to the police together.

Police?

Police? What...

What are you talkin' about?

That's my husband.

I've seen the way he treats you!

Trust me,

it's not gonna get better.

No... Clyde loves me.

Well, he has a really

strange way of showing it.

Don't you wanna be free

of all this?

You know what?

Clyde was right about y'all.

Tainting us with your ideas.

I need you to leave now.

Please.

[Door opens and closes]

sh*t.

sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

[Scrubbing]

[Sobbing]

When I was

12 and a half years old

I walked my momma

to the bus station

up here in Alpine.

She put ten dollars

in my hand

and told me

to... look after myself.

Then she got

on that big silver bus

with the blue strip

on the side.

I wasn't too much concerned

where she was going,

just... when she be comin' back.

Sat there and waited

for three days and three nights

before I realized she wasn't.

But I did as I was told.

I looked after myself.

The only way I knew how.

You told me

that your momma died.

My gut tells me no good can come

from those two.

[Geena] Clyde? Clyde!

Clyde, what are you doin'?

What are you doin'?

Hey, don't you f*ck' dare.

Clyde? Clyde, please don't...

please don't do this.

sh*t.

Oh, f*ck...

Oh. Hi, Clyde.

Look, er...

I just wanted to come over

and apologize

for the way I've been actin'

since y'all got out here.

You know, I think...

I think we've been out here

on our own for so long

I just, er... I-I forget

what's like to... to share.

And... we'll invite you all over

for a drink

and... introduce ourselves

properly.

Well, that means a lot, Clyde.

Thank you.

That, er...

Sure, that sounds great.

I'm actually pretty tired.

I... I think it's the least

we can do.

Look, I know I don't deserve it

but, er...

...sure would appreciate

the chance to do right by you.

Well, give us five minutes.

We'll be right over.

- Yes, sir.

- Okay.

Maybe my instinct's

been off lately.

Thank you, baby.

Y'all ever drink Tiswin before?

[Andy] Mm-mm.

It's a kind of Injun' beer.

folks around here been drinkin'

it for thousands of years.

Ain't no better drink in Texas.

I can't wait to try it.

[Clyde] It's always made

with fermented corn.

But you can kinda spice it up

with whatever you like,

you know.

Some folks

use orange and cinnamon.

I like to stick

to the traditional ways,

just usin' the fruit

of the cactus.

Just like my momma made it.

Clyde, thanks again for this.

I, er...

I hope this can be

a fresh start, for all of us.

Yeah, well, um...

let's drink to that.

Is, er... is your mom

close by, Clyde?

- Oh, she passed.

- Oh.

I'm sorry.

We... we just lost

our first child.

Andy.

What?

I...

I just appreciated it if you

didn't bring that up right now.

[Andy] Just feel like...

in the spirit of honesty,

Clyde and Geena

are being kind enough

to invite us

into their home,

I think the least we can do

is be open

about... why we're here.

Y'all lost your child?

Yeah.

[Gasps]

- Clyde!

- Get out.

Get the f*ck outta my house!

- Get out!

- You m*therf*cker!

Get out of my house now!

Andy, get off me.

Andy, stop!

Andy, I'm done.

We have to get the f*ck

out of...

[Knocking on door]

[Knocking continues]

Geena.

[Heavy breathing]

[Door opens and closes]

[Clears throat]

I...

I just...

I wanted to tell you that...

...I've decided to move

to the city.

To be somebody

and start all over again.

And just do all the things

that you said I can.

Well...

[Clanking]

[Panting]

Oh, f*ck.

I was just headed

to the plains.

Hey.

There's nothin' out that way.

Keep up.

[Clyde] Over here.

[Andy] Actually, I'm...

I'm good here. You go ahead,

I'll find my own way back.

[Clyde] I said, over here.

[Andy] I got one.

[Clyde] Start diggin'.

[Andy] What?

I-I don't know

if I can do this.

You don't realize

what I stand to lose here.

You don't. Turning in

my husband, that's one thing.

But-but what am I left with?

Go back to town and...

and wait tables

and wear push-up bras

and bat my eyelashes for tips?

I just... I-I-I can't.

I can't.

I spent too long

doing that already.

You know, Clyde...

...he ain't perfect, but...

...I got a man.

And out here

that means something.

Even if it's all I have.

Do you... do you know

how ridiculous you sound?

So what, you're just gonna

let him push you around?

You just gonna...

nod and do what he says

like a good f*cking housewife?

It's pathetic.

They can't keep getting away

with this, Geena.

Cly... Clyde-Clyde can't keep

getting away with this.

Now, listen to me.

Let's just get out

of this truck.

You got this, okay?

Trust me.

[Andy groaning]

[Cell chimes]

[Amaya] Geena.

Let's get back in the truck.

What?

We shouldn't do this.

What...

But... but you... you just said

that it was

the right thing to do.

I was wrong, okay?

Now let's get back in the truck.

We can't go back now.

Clyde will know.

Well, then we better

beat him back.

Ma'am, is everything okay?

Ma'am?

Everything is fine, sir.

What the f*ck is goin' on?

[Amaya] I should never

have brought you out here.

You don't need to do this.

Okay?

We'll go.

We'll go.

We'll go away.

I promise you we'll go.

We'll never find this again.

We'll be invisible, okay?

You'll never...

you'll never hear from us again.

Clyde.

Get out of my way.

What we leave in the distance...

...stays in the distance...

...buried in dust.

That's what I said to Geena

when we first came out here.

It don't mean a damn thing to me

to bury whatever out here

if it come between me

and my wife.

You understand?

sh*t.

[Sighs]

Geena, baby, I'd...

really love to talk to ya,

and if you'll hear me.

Sure.

Whatcha doin' down there?

Nothin'. I... I was...

Nothin'.

Nothin'.

[Gasps]

What are you looking for?

My cell.

We gotta get outta here

right now.

Right now, okay?

I'm gonna load up

on some water,

I'm gonna trek out

far enough to get a signal

and then I'm gonna get us

the hell outta here.

Now.

Amaya, did you hear

what I said?

Clyde almost k*lled me.

Did you hear me?

Are you gonna help me

find my cell?

I don't know

where your cell is.

But I did find mine earlier

in your sneaker.

Oh.

Where are we going?

Er...

Just anywhere, anywhere.

Anywhere but here.

Home?

Er...

No, let's...

You know, let's find

a nice hotel somewhere.

You know?

With a pool.

Yeah?

Just you and me.

Just you and me.

Anywhere but here,

but... not home.

I got some service earlier

on my phone.

Yeah?

There were

a bunch of messages waiting.

Okay.

Apparently there was a leak

in 805.

And so they wanted to get

into our apartment

to check the damage.

The super was trying to get

ahold of us but he couldn't,

and so he called my mom.

She said there was woman

waiting there.

Blonde.

Blue eyes.

Not a day over 22.

With a stomach...

...out to here.

She said she wanted me to know.

Is that why

you don't wanna go home, Andy?

- What's goin' on?

- Clyde...

You know what I've just done?

What I left behind?

What the f*ck you doin'

with 'em keys?

I left!

[Geena sobbing]

I...

I left, Clyde.

But you came back.

You came back.

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

I just wanna go back

to them nights in the truck.

The whole world would pass

'em windows by

and all that mattered in there

was you and me.

I wanna feel that again.

I wanna feel that again.

Do you wanna feel that again?

Clyde...

Did you really think

that you can get away with this?

All those moments we had

together after I lost the baby.

And all the time,

you had another woman pregnant.

Say something!

It really is beautiful out here.

[Clyde] Ain't no country

like Big Bend Country.

The only place

that ever felt like home.

Town did somethin' to me.

I knew it wouldn't be easy

to convince her,

but, er... I thought

if I could just show Geena

the man I could be out here...

I guess there's no runnin'

from what's inside.

[Heavy breathing]

[Amaya] I don't really know

what's real anymore.

After I had the miscarriage,

I developed an infection

that... destroyed my womb.

Now I realize

that it was Andy...

...that took my chance of being

a mother away from me.

But he'll be fine.

He'll land on his feet

like he always does.

It does make me wonder

what else I've missed.

Clyde, do you think

that there's...

No. No, no, no.

Never mind.

- Come on with it.

- No.

Geena!

Geena, stop.

What are you doing?

Clyde, Clyde!

- Geena, stop.

- No, no. Don't touch me.

Don't. No, no.

Andy, Andy, Andy!

Don't, stop. Andy, no.

[Amaya] I'm sorry.

[Andy] It was just a fling.

She followed me home

one night and...

...threatened

to... to tell Amaya.

And you would've...

you would've just carried on

with Amaya,

like... like nothin' happened?

Since when do you care

about Amaya's feelings?

Didn't seem to cross your mind

when you grabbed me

behind the trailer.

You're no better than me.

[Sighs]

I thought...

I thought you wanted me.

I thought that you would take me

outta here.

[Andy laughs]

You really thought that?

Where?

Where would I take you?

No, you are gonna take me

outta here.

You are.

You think you can just treat me

like that and disappear?

Uh-uh, you tried that

with the wrong gal.

Enough now, Geena.

- Now...

- Enough.

Hey.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You're gonna do

exactly what I say

and when I say it,

until I'm satisfied.

Otherwise, we're gonna find out

what Clyde thinks about you

putting your hands

all over his wife's body.

What did you just say?

You listen to me,

you f*cking hick.

- You open your g*dd*mn mouth...

- Uh-uh.

What the hell

are you gonna do, huh?

[Chuckles]

You gonna hit me? You?

I'm gonna get the keys

to the truck,

and then you're gonna drive me

outta here,

and then I'll decide

if I'm done with you or not.

You don't need me to do that,

you can drive it yourself.

I know. You're damn right

I don't need you,

but you're gonna do it

because I'm tellin' you to.

Do you understand?

Say, "I understand."

I understand.

You better.

Or God help you,

you'll find yourself

in the middle of the desert

covered in six feet of dust.

[Heavy breathing]

[Geena screaming]

[g*nsh*t]

[Wind howling]

Just as beautiful as Clyde said.

Can I help you?

You know who I am?

Y'all really scared

those city couple off some, huh?

Clyde...

...was one of the most

stand-up guys I'd ever met.

Never struck me as the kind

to turn a g*n on himself.

What do you want?

Well, I was born

Laura Rose Oakley.

But you ain't never heard

that name.

Copperhead

you might know better.

There was a little debt

between Clyde and myself.

[Geena] Clyde is dead.

He's dead.

What do you want from me?

This has nothing to do

with me.

He's gone,

you got what you want.

After we hit the truck...

...he asked me

to hold on to his money.

Said he'd come get some

from time to time.

I asked him

why he was leavin'.

He said...

"The west has been hell

on horses and women.

"And I don't own a horse."

You take care, darlin'.
