And now we continue our ongoing coverage
of the opioid epidemic ravaging the heartland of America.
In recent years,
drug overdoses have surpassed
all vehicle and gun-related deaths.
On average, hundreds of people die every day.
Now, for these reasons,
the president signed an executive order
combatting the drug addiction and opioid crisis.
Many of the street drugs are laced with fentanyl,
adding to the rising overdose rate.
Opioids, even prescribed ones,
if misused, the consequences can be deadly.
And now another heartbreaking story
from Whispering Pines.
The story of a mother
who lost both of her sons in 12 hours.
We couldn't get a comment from Hazel Pratt,
but we now go live to another on-the-ground reporter.
Sir, can you and your daughter
please tell us exactly what happened here?
I don't think my daughter is up for any questions right now.
But I'll tell ya what.
No one should be dyin' in the eighth grade.
A truly heartbreaking story.
But unfortunately not the last to report
on the local opioid epidemic.
It has just been reported
that another violent, drug-related crime
took the life of Bruce Williamson.
A World War II veteran was murdered
during a home invasion last night.
He was alone. He was attacked in his home.
Come on out, you son of a bitch.
Paul, wait!
And I'm gonna give you
what the fuck you got comin' to ya.
No!
"It was a dangerous journey, but they needed to save Narnia.
"The battle was fierce,
but with Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy's help,
Aslan and his army brought peace back to Narnia.
Look... there's Aslan again.
Who's that? It kinda looks like you.
The end.
Say "yay"!
- Yay. - Yay. All right, buddy.
Let's go to bed.
Gimme a hug.
I love you.
Love you.
Chest.
Hey.
Who were you expecting?
No one.
Things have gotten that bad, huh?
Yep.
Sorry.
Me, too. Uh, you want a beer or somethin'? I can...
No, actually... I've got some bad news.
It's your sister.
Now, what is that?
Morphine.
You know she's an addict.
It's just to take the edge off.
I'll be fine.
How long were you clean?
I'm still clean.
Three years, one month, and 12 days... ish.
Hmm. And you're jeopardizing that for some painkillers.
If you felt what I was feeling, you'd ask for a gun.
I just want you to be careful.
It's just until I heal up, okay?
I'll hold you to that.
I see you have custody.
Shh! Yes, I have custody.
You sure know how to pick 'em.
Third time's the charm, I guess, right?
No no no no no no.
Two. That's fine.
I'll hold you to that.
Touch.
How much of that stuff are you injecting?
Hmm. As much as it takes.
Okay...
All right, well, I got registration for daycare in an hour.
I gotta get Phil ready.
You know you can come back when the family's here.
I could.
But I won't.
Come on, buddy.
You can keep that.
Can you say bye?
- Bye. - Good-bye...
Get better, all right? Feel better.
We kinda need you.
Mm.
Later, dumb-ass.
We have breaking news at this hour
on the sentencing of Paul Davis,
who murdered his neighbor
in connection with drug trafficking.
Paul has been convicted of murder in the first degree
and is facing life in prison.
Now, this trial has divided the community of Whispering Pines
with some locals calling Paul a hero
for taking justice into his own hands.
Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes.
Lieutenant, how the hell are you?
I'm good, man. How you doin'?
I'm all right.
You've been all over the globe.
Yeah, three tours,
two ex-wives.
I got a son now.
- Hey, that's great. - So...
I'm right back here in the fuckin' Pines.
Mm-hmm. I saw your mom.
What'd she have to say?
Oh, said you were laying low, taking care of your sister.
Yeah.
Yeah. Things have gotten a little crazy around here.
- Lots of drugs. - No shit!
I leave for a few years,
you let everything go to hell, Jerry.
Last week, eighth-grader...
ODs in the boys' bathroom at school.
Eighth grade?
- Yeah. - Damn.
I only got a couple more years of this shit,
and then I'm outta here.
Another.
Sorry about that, Ed.
Do you want one?
No. Thank you. I gotta get back.
Um, I'm gonna catch you up. I owe you.
Okay?
Why you ain't out there arrestin' all them pushers?
On what charges?
Dealing heroin, dumb-ass.
Hey... we're on different sides of the fence, okay?
But you respect me, and I respect you.
Got that?
You just keep filling up our jails
with the wrong people.
I never see the drug dealers down at that prison.
Why?
Because I'm by myself.
I have to catch them in the act.
I got news for you, copper:
A old pickup, the hood's down,
out of tar.
Hood's up, his store is open for business.
Exactly... and you got me
tryin' to clean up this mess, alone.
What do you want me to do?
By any means necessary.
Yeah, okay.
Paul did it.
And look at him now.
Nothing new under the sun.
He's not wrong.
Please welcome Hazel Pratt.
I-I spent my life,
other than raising my sons,
saving lives in the ER.
I lost... my two sons
in 12 hours.
From... From the same needle.
And now, I spend my time
talking to you kids,
hoping that you won't use
and end up dead, too.
Hey... hello, you.
Why don't you stand up?
Yeah, you, the one that's, you know, laughing
and not paying attention... stand up.
Whatever.
Excuse me?
Sorry.
What's your mother's name?
Lisa.
Do you hate your mother Lisa?
No, of... of course not.
Well, do you hate your friends' mothers?
No, ma'am.
'Cause I don't think that they'd be, you know,
really happy to see that you're not paying any attention
to what could be the most important lesson
that you've ever had all year.
Something that could save your life,
or... or save your friends' lives.
What lesson?
The lesson that if you do heroin,
even once,
you're going to ruin the rest of your life.
And you're gonna break your mother's heart
and devastate her for the rest of her days!
Is that what you wanna do?
No.
You can sit down.
Ah. Man, there's not enough beer for these cold winters.
Should bring a fifth next time.
Yeah.
Hey, man, are you, uh...
are you serious about goin' spottin' after midnight?
Best time to catch those deer,
when they're caught in the headlights.
It's also illegal as shit.
The odds of Jerry being out here at this time
in this part of the woods is...
zero to none.
Edward, are you all right with this?
You work at a prison. Don't you gotta, you know,
follow all the laws and shit?
Hey, the world is fucked up.
- Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah, it is.
See the news the other day?
You talkin' about Paul?
He's doing life...
for... for giving a damn about our town.
Yeah, that's fucked up, man.
- Yeah it is. - Wait, so...
You guys think what Paul did...
uh... breaking into his neighbor's house
in the middle of the night and murdering him...
you think that's right?
Yeah.
Redneck fuckin' justice.
You serious?
Dead.
Hey, who was that?
Adam. That was a... friend of mine.
What are you doin'?
Where's Phil?
I was just about to get him.
Don't fuckin' touch him.
It's just until the pain goes away.
Fuck!
They canceled my insurance!
They canceled your insurance, great.
Then just throw your fuckin' life away.
Fuck you!
You don't know what this is like!
You know that's not true!
- It was always so... - Don't gimme that bullshit.
- Where is it? - It was always so easy for you.
- Where is it?! - It's... there's not...
There's no more!
I finished it!
Fuck!
Is this it?
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
And I swear to God, Cheyenne,
if you lie to me...
Is there anything else?
Nerd.
Let's find out.
No, there's nothing in...
There's nothing there.
- I told you, there's nothing. - Let's find out.
Stop!
Stop, it's nothing, there's nothing...
I said...
Adam, it's just...
Stop, I said stop!
I swear to God.
Stop! I said there's...
I can't help it.
- You can fuckin' help this. - Please don't leave.
Please don't...
Please don't leave me! Please...
Stop!
It's hard to know what to say in situations like this.
We all want answers.
The Lord numbers our days.
And yet His timing today seems premature
for such a loving daughter, sister...
and young woman.
None of us know our time.
Cheyenne had a good heart.
And though she wasn't amongst us often on Sundays,
she knew...
she knew her life had a greater purpose
in the eyes of God.
It's hard to measure the impact
of one's life and death
for the ones left behind.
But the little I knew of Cheyenne...
I always enjoyed her sense of humor,
her loud laugh...
and I appreciated her donations
at our wild game dinners.
No one knows why Cheyenne succumbed to her addiction...
We sure as hell do!
Those filthy fucking dealers!
And you!
You, Adam!
I asked you to take care of her.
I asked you to watch out for your sister!
And what did you do?
Now's the time to celebrate Cheyenne's life.
No one here is responsible for what happened.
Nah, she's right.
No, she's right.
It was my fault.
And it's your fault, Ma.
And it's your fault. And it's your fault.
- Ted... - Adam...
Shut the fuck up, Ted!
- Hey, don't do this now... - You too!
Cheyenne was doomed.
The second she was born here, she was doomed.
- Adam! - What?
What the fuck you doin'?
Nothin', what are you doin'?
I'll come by in 15 minutes.
Be out front. We's goin' out.
No, not tonight.
Yeah, okay. Bye.
Hey, bro! Come on. Let's get drunk.
Really don't want to.
Oh, yeah, you really do.
Come on, get your skinny ass in the car right fuckin' now.
Hey, pal.
Shit, this whole road not have reception?
Yeah, you know, it's Pennsylvania.
They're still waiting for this whole cell phone thing to catch on.
Beth is making me pay.
To watch her own grandson.
You know your family was my favorite.
You always kept me busy.
You're welcome.
So, where the fuck are we going?
There's this new hipster bar.
It's Southern-themed. You're gonna love it.
Oh, boy.
This place is not very Southern-themed.
Well, that's next.
Patience. Patience sound.
Man, the dirty motherfuckers.
Who?
Over there.
The county PD.
They're taking out the sergeant for his retirement
and they didn't invite me.
So here I am, sittin' here, lookin' like an asshole.
Thanks.
I didn't mean you.
You know, it's just the fact
that I'm here, and they're there.
So... I guess I oughta go over and buy them a round.
And let them grin through their shit.
Be right back. You want another one?
Yeah. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hello, fellas. Sarge.
Can I have another pint, and for my buddy a shot?
Here you go, bro.
Down the hatch.
Thank you.
Adam... hey.
I didn't know you worked here.
Yeah, they cut my hours back in town,
so here I am.
Who has Phil tonight?
Beth.
Thank you for watching him so much in the last couple weeks.
It's been fuckin' crazy.
Happy to.
Thank you.
Did you come in alone?
No... Lieutenant's upstairs.
That's funny.
Why?
You two being "friends."
I remember when he sent you away.
I was a little shit.
Weren't we all, though?
On me.
You guys are gonna have to carry me out of here.
Yeah, that should help, right?
To... drowning our sorrows.
Oh, I hate tequila.
Hey, I'm really sorry about your, uh...
your cousins... I know they were like brothers to you.
Yeah, I don't even recognize my Aunt Hazel, you know?
I just...
I just feel, like, numb.
Do you feel numb?
I'm trying.
How was the funeral?
Heh.
I'm sorry.
Cheyenne was my little sister.
My little sister.
My responsibility.
And I left. I just fuckin' left.
You had to.
Adam!
I gotta go upstairs.
Look, I know what you're doing.
Don't.
- Young lady. - Lieutenant.
Nice.
Workin' on number three?
How was your circle jerk?
Oh, fuck those guys.
They don't even recognize the Lone Ranger lost in the woods.
So, uh... you two do some catching up?
Same old, same old.
Everybody's fuckin' dying.
Oh, fun stuff. Nice. You know what?
No more dog shit, okay?
You need a new environment. Let's go.
Come on.
Dixieland!
That's right. Come on.
Here I come.
There you go.
See, I am like a prizefighter.
I save my best for last.
See?
Oh, fuck me.
It's my little island in the sun.
Hey... this place remind you of your little Southern town?
No.
Corner pocket.
You win again.
What do you say? Another round?
Last call, gentlemen.
- We're closin' up. - The shit it is.
11:00.
- Yeah. - Yeah!
Hey, aren't you Adam?
- Yeah. - Edward's my father.
Really?
No, the other black guy in town.
Well, it's nice to meet you. He's a good man.
Yeah, he is.
He told me about your sister.
- I'm real sorry. - Ah, jeez.
All right, time to go. Let's go.
Let's go. Come on, bro.

Let's go.
You see that kid there?
He's barely 16 years old.
He doesn't have any hair on his balls yet.
You're off duty.
Yeah, lucky for him.
I'd take his ass in.
Good evening, officer.
Ah, hello, fellas.
Sorry, Adam, about your loss.
Ah, for fuck's sake. Really?
My brother went to school with Cheyenne.
She was a sweet girl.
Good. Get lost. All right?
Before I arrest both of you.
Fuckin' idiots.
Dicks.
It's unbelievable, man.
Misery, can't get away from it.
Small towns.
Yeah, everybody knows everybody.
Okay, everyone, we're gonna start the karaoke party again.
Karaoke. Come on, hang out, man.
We'll do a song.
Think I'm gonna... get some air.
You sure? Wanna hang out for one?
Knock yourself out.
All righty, then. Think I will.

The man in charge.
That's you, man!
You're the fuckin' man in charge.

But I'm not God, man.
You understand?
We'll do something, I promise.
- You'll do something... - Yes.
Listen, I love you like a son, do you understand that?
Hey, hey, I'll do anything.
I'll volunteer, I'll work for free.
I'll work for free. I'll... I can work for you.
How 'bout... How 'bout this?
How 'bout a volunteer drug task force?
- Yes... - Yes?
- Yes. - How's that?
- Yes, yes, yes, let's do that. - Yes? Okay.
- Let's do that. - All right?
- Yes. - We'll talk about it tomorrow?
- No! No. No... - Listen...
Fuckin' promise me.
- I promise. - You promise me?
- I swear. I swear. - Fuckin' promise.
I won't let you down. okay?
I know what you lost.
You don't know, man.
Yeah, I do.
No, you don't fuckin' know, man.
I do know.
Come on, I... I gotta get you home, man.
You're killin' me.
All right, but hey, you promised me, you promised me.
I fuckin' swear.
- Okay. - Come on.
Now, let's get up. You're sitting in the damn mud.
Hold on...
Mm-mm-mm!
Nothin' like the smell of death on a Sunday mornin'.
Atonement comes Sunday.
What are you talkin' about, old man?
Death... comes...
...redemption.
Oh, shit. What time is it?
It's, uh, 7:30.
7:30?
Shit.
I gotta go home. I got mass at 9:00.
Presbyterians go at 10:30.
Yeah, well, today, I'm Protestant.
I gotta... I gotta talk to Reverend John.
About what?
Righteous anger.
The blood of Christ shed for you.
Thanks.
I always like to get clean
after a bender, too.
The body of Christ.
Broken for you.
I feel like my body's broken.
If anyone has a sin they haven't repented,
or trespassed against their brother,
before taking this bread or wine,
now is the time to go make it right with the Lord.
All those who call on Jesus Christ as his savior...
...partake in the Lord's supper.
The body of Christ.
Body of Christ.
The body of Christ.
What if we... can't make it right?
What do you mean?
What if...
to make it right,
we have to sin?
I never heard of a sin
making it right.
Somebody's gotta do something
about these drug dealers killing our babies.
Edward... can we have this conversation
after the service?
But if one knows they ought to do good, and they don't,
isn't that a sin?
Hazel, I'm not saying do nothing, but...
what Edward is saying is something completely different.
Reverend John, what I'm saying...
is actually stopping the spread of evil.
Hey, I know how you feel.
I talked to Jerry last night, I...
I think I know what we can do.
The body of Christ.
I'll be back for supper.
Body of Christ.
- Hey, could you watch him? - Body of Christ.
Just for like an hour.
- Uh, fine. - Please. Thank you.
Hi.
See ya, buddy.
I'm just... Thank you.
Lord have mercy.
Lieutenant!
Jerry!
Whew.
What in tarnation's going on here?
- Oh, my... - Hey, that thing we talked about last night?
Volunteer drug task force?
How'd you know I was here?
I knew your wife wouldn't let you sleep it off at home.
I do know that today's my day of rest.
- Enough rest. - You promised, Jerry.
One way or another, somethin's gotta happen.
Okay, okay, holy shit!
What do you want me to do?
- Deputize us. - What?
The volunteer drug task force, Jerry.
We talked about this. Make it official.
That takes a lot of paperwork.
Hey, come on, man, Lieutenant,
why don't you stop the red tape bull? There's lives at stake.
But even if I did, I don't have the...
the power or the resources.
I mean, they cut off funding.
I'll supply what we need.
This is pretty unorthodox.
- Desperate times. - Yeah.
All right, but even if I do
deputize you as a group,
you gotta stay within the confines of the law.
Y-You understand?
Absolutely.
Uh, yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Only citizen's arrest, okay?
You catch the bad guys, and you bring 'em to me.
- You got it? - Got it.
- Yeah, got it, got it. - Nobody gets hurt.
- Nobody. - No way.
Okay, okay...
Raise your right hand.
Okay, by the power vested in me,
I hereby deputize-ish you all
to the first... drug task force volunteer group
to stop the flow and distribution
of heroin in my 300 square miles.
Say "aye."
- Aye. - All right, you're good.
And you're good. And you're good.
- Amen. - All right, there you go.
Where you going?
- Second breakfast! - Oh...
Okay. Uh...
Don't make me regret this.
I'm gonna regret this.
So there's a lot of dealers that we know about,
but there's probably more that we don't.
They everywhere.
But it ain't just street drugs.
I mean, I know a lot of easy doctors
that are prescribing all kind of opioids.
Morphine and codeine, OxyContin... you name it.
That's how my sister got hooked again.
Every year I worked in the hospital,
the prescriptions just kept increasing and increasing.
And there's the damn synthetic, fentanyl.
On the streets, that's the cheap high.
Mm. Okay, so...
We'll go to the local pharmacy...
Oh! And this is something that we should all carry.
Cops carry this, and we should, too.
Naloxone.
And when somebody's overdosing,
it saves their life.
It encourages the addicts
to keep doing drugs... come on.
No, it saves lives, period.
If people are dying, we gotta help them.
I thought that, you know, this is why we're doing it...
to save lives.
Mm. Where do we start?
The highway.
That's where it's coming from.
I'll monitor the interstate exits,
and I'll do car checks... all right?
Well, I can paint warning signs.
You know, so all the cars see it
when they're coming into town.
I'll monitor the woods. Foot traffic, bikes...
Great. Okay, so... we'll do all that.
What's next on our priority list?
Heh, or the hit list.
Who's most likely to OD?
- Well, at the school. - Right.
Okay, I'll call them in the morning.
I mean, we definitely have the sympathy
of the principal and the parents.
I'll check the kids' backpacks.
And I'll set the, um, metal detector
so we do school checks every day.
That's great, but at some point
we have to go to the dealers' houses.
- And do what? - Stop them.
How?
By any means necessary.
What does that mean?
No, no, no, no, no. Look... uh, okay, wh...
By the grace of God,
the demand will just dry up by then.
Yeah. When do we start?
Sunrise.
I hope you know I'd do anything for you.
All right, come on. Ohh... all right.
Night, night, buddy.
I gotta check your car
before I let you into our town.
Who are you with?
Waste and sanitation.
What?
I'm cleanin' up shit.
Open the trunk.
Hey!
Stop!
Fuck you, man!
Fuckin' pull over!
- Stop! - What the fuck, man?
- Turn it off! - Get the fuck outta my way!
Turn it the fuck off.
Get off.
Empty the bag.
Get on your fuckin' knees.
Get on your fuckin' knees!
Hey, man... it's just some dope.
Listen to me.
If I ever... see you again...
I will fuckin' kill you.
You understand?
You're fuckin' crazy!
That's right.
Tell your fuckin' friends.
Get the fuck outta here.
Leave that shit. Leave it!
Get the fuck outta here.
Hey! What does that mean?
Well... I think it's pretty obvious.
Not to me.
You hittin' the bottle?
It means, "Do not bring drugs into our town."
You're nuts.
What's your name?
Huh? Get back here, you little bitch.
I will put your license to the sheriff's station!
Ohh!
What the hell?
Oh, Lord & Taylor. Okay, fine.
Fine, fine, fine.
"Don't...
"bring..."
"...drugs..."
Hey, I got my other hunting buddies.
They're out there, checking the other roads for car checks.
Better?
Yeah.
Ugh, I'm gonna need some moms
to help me paint more signs.
Uh, more, uh... more direct signs.
- Yes, more direct signs. - Okay.
Hey, uh, you're telling me
that you have a pain in your leg
that's not getting any better?
I have for a while now, yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, hi. Can I help you?
What's your pain level?
Like 7 1/2.
Hmm...
Okay, well, I think I have something here
that is going to help out quite a bit.
Oh, yeah?
Uh... fill this prescription?
Oh, sure thing.
Oxycodone.
Yes, sir, that's gonna make you feel right as rain.
How often?
Well, the bottle says,
"As needed or every four hours,"
but, you know.
I know what?
Take it as often as needed.
That's up to you.
There's no way she'll fill that all.
Just watch.
How will you be paying?
Oh, for Pete's sake, you've gotta be kidding me.
What?
Uh, well, listen, I'm...
I'm gonna have to come back for more, this is...
Well, you can make another appointment.
This isn't enough. Like, I'm here now.
Could you just write me another one?
Did you even look before you grabbed all those drugs?
Of course.
Why on earth would we need all that dope?
I mean, I...
Did you even go to school?
Ma'am, you're gonna have to calm down.
I'm only doing my job.
I... I do have other patients, but...
There you go.
Thanks. So this is it?
You just...
- This is pr... - ...fuckin'...
This is procedure.
It's procedure.
It's an obscene amount of drugs.
Don't you think I know that?
And you just fill it anyway?
It's just another day.
- Ohh! - No, it's not.
Just let us know if anybody else
is filling prescriptions like this.
Sir, I can't do that because of the HIPAA law.
No, you better, or God help you.
Yeah, you just hand these things out, right?
I come in and say my foot hurts...
Everything that I've done is perfectly legal.
It's perfectly legal. That's good.
You're gonna have to leave,
or I'll have to call the police.
So, call 'em!
Do you know that there are kids dying?
I lost both of my sons. They're gone.
- Oh, it's you. - Yeah, well,
I'm not the only one suffering in this town.
Not by a longshot.
It's the system, ma'am. I... I have to do my job.
That's fuckin' great.
If you ever over-prescribe again,
you'll never write another fuckin' prescription.
You hear what I'm sayin'?
Good.
Shame on you.
Just give us the name of the doctor...
if this happens again.
Here. Just write down your number.
Keep your drugs.
A new report coming out today
about the opioid epidemic.
Recently, the state of Nebraska approved fentanyl
to be used in lethal injections.
As of right now, many other states
are considering doing the same.
Many of the street drugs are laced with fentanyl,
adding to the rising overdose rate. Opioids...
Whatcha need, boss?
...if misused, the consequences can be deadly.
So, Adam, how's it goin'?
What?
- Aw, you didn't hear. - Mm.
Well, our Adam here, he's been putting together
a renegade group of locals to fight the drugs in our town.
Wow. That's pretty awesome, actually.
Yeah, isn't it?
That's what all the shit down by the interstate was about.
So, Adam... how's it goin'?
Too soon to tell.
- I wanna help. - Yeah.
I wanna help. My sister, she passed last Christmas.
Know that?
No, I didn't know that. I'm sorry.
That's not the worst of it.
She was in treatment.
She was doing good. On a good path.
And then she got kidney trouble, went back to the hospital.
And the pills.
Nope, didn't have to.
No, her dealer snuck in there
while we were out of the room and gave her the drugs.
And her system couldn't handle it.
- He snuck in? - Yeah.
- That's fuckin' crazy. - Yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah. He went away for a couple months and got out.
- If I ever found him... - I'd kill him.
I'd kill all of 'em.
I understand how you feel, trust me.
But we're trying to do this the right way.
Oh, you're trying to do this the right way?
We're tryin', yeah.
The right way, huh? Okay, well,
when you're done scannin' backpacks
and holdin' signs under the interstate,
you let me know.
- You done? - Yeah, I'm done.
Okay...
So obviously, some of my talks
didn't drive my point home.
Some of you still don't care enough...
about your families...
your friends...
and, sadly, yourselves.
But I have brought backup.
All of these mothers that you see,
all of them...
they have been affected
by the heroin epidemic.
And they have come here today...
to help us make this mission
crystal clear.
I've talked to the principal, and he agrees.
If anyone is found talking...
You're good.
...dealing...
even thinking about doing drugs,
you are going to be escorted...
- Oh, hell no. - ...by one of our volunteer moms...
and by your parents to the police station.
There, you will be fingerprinted.
You'll be photographed,
and you'll be suspended from school.
What's up?
It's going to ruin your lives.
We've all had children that are dead.
- Adam! - Stop!
But your mom and your families...
Stop!
Just reach out, before it's too late.
Hey! Hey!
- Get out! - Stop!
Where is it? Where is it?
I said where is it?
- Get off! - I know you've got it!
Hey, hey! Adam! Stop!
What the hell's wrong with you?
Stop it! On school grounds, really?
Chill!
What the hell is wrong with you, son?
Listen to me.
I'm gonna have to take you in.
Put your hands behind your back.
You're under arrest.
And we will fight for you.
We're here for you.
We love you!
Come on.
I don't understand what the big deal is.
I barely touched him. The kid'll be fine.
You're lucky his parents aren't wealthy.
Do you even realize what you've done?
Yeah. Your fuckin' job.
Oh, bullshit.
This is about revenge.
What are you talking about?
Kenny.
Kenny?
Your sister Cheyenne's friend Kenny.
What?
The one she was in the marching band with.
No. Fat Kenny?
He called 911 when your sister overdosed.
That was fat fucking Kenny?
Fat Kenny. That's right.
You fucking kidding me?
Listen to me. Okay?
We have warrants on him...
Oh, good. Good work.
A couple of break-ins and robberies.
The guy is armed and dangerous.
- I'm gonna fucking kill him. - No, you're not gonna do that.
- Yes, I am. - No, you're not.
Get these fucking cuffs off me and I'll fucking kill him!
Shut it!
Shut it.
You listen here, okay?
You better name your next son Edward,
'cause that guy stopped you from pummelin' that kid.
- Jerry... - What?
Why didn't you fuckin' tell me?
What difference does it make?
Kill some lowlife to honor your sister's death?
It's somethin'.
Are you gonna leave your infant son,
like your daddy left you?
It's different.
It's nothing.
And you're better than that.
What's happening?
What, uh...
What'd you go and charge on him?
Nothin' yet.
But we're gonna discuss it.
I'm disbanding this task force.
Oh, man, no!
Listen, if you want to join the police academy,
be my guest... this is over.
Oh, but we're doing so much good.
And you're this close to doing so much bad.
This is bull... Fuck.
And you... you're no longer my responsibility.
Your mother's on her way.
Yeah. I need a smoke.
That's right.
Come on, Jerry.
Come on...
My name... is Lieutenant Jerald Whalen.
And this is over.
Someone needs to save these kids.
Listen, I have police business to attend to.
And I have to clean up this mess.
I'd appreciate it if you'd vacate the office, please.
- But if... - Go! Now.
God damn it.
Okay, well, you know... great.
Now what?
Now nothin', it's over.
What do you mean it's over, man?
The dealers are out there still, in plain damn sight!
Yeah, well...
I'm likely gettin' charged or fuckin' arrested, so...
Not before I find Kenny.
- What the heck are you talking about? - Look, you heard Jerry.
All right? We're done. Disbanded. All right?
And, honestly, like what the fu...
We gotta grow up. We... This is a nat...
It's a national epidemic. Did we actually think
we were gonna make a difference?
No, we did make a difference.
Think of the kids this week, come on.
And what about the kids next week?
And the week after that?
Nothing fucking changes.
Nothin' new under the sun.
Exactly.
Just like the father, just like the son.
What the fuck did you just say?
I said your father was a coward.
Like you.
Oh, come on.
Hey, I'm disappointed in you, man.
I knew your father was a punk-ass behind the bars,
I just didn't know you were gonna turn out to be the same way.
Take that shit back. You don't fuckin' know!
Man, you don't put your hands on me!
- Yeah, come on! - No, no, no, no, no, no!
Stop it! Stop it right now, you two!
Edward... Edward, please.
- Just go to your truck. - Ah, yeah!
Gonna fuckin' walk away?
Not a word from you.
Man up!
Look, I-I don't know your mom that well,
but I-I heard that she's a real piece of work.
- My mom's a fuckin' bitch. - No, none of that. No.
This is your mother.
Okay, go to her. Please?
Before you ruin your life.
Don't make her lose another child, Adam.
- She doesn't care. - Oh, no.
A lot of people just don't have the ability
to say how they care... she's hurting.
Honey, she's hurting just like you.
- Yeah. - And she is suffering
just as much as you are.
I gotta... I gotta... I gotta find Kenny.
Listen to me, please?
Please?
- Adam! - What?
If you let this hate into your heart,
it will consume you.
Here.
May God bless you,
and keep you.
From yourself.
It's too late for that.
No...
Make your mama proud, don't ya?
Shut up.
Well, I'm responsible for you now.
Just like when you was in diapers.
- So get in. - I'm not gettin' in.
Get in.
Don't make me call the staties.
Get in.
Not a fuckin' word.
Not a fuckin' word?
You and I are gonna have a little fuckin' chat.
Okay?
First off, what in God's name were you thinking?
- Nothing. - Well, obviously.
- Take me to Cheyenne. - Oh, come on.
- Take me. - Adam, she's dead.
She's six feet under.
It's over!
Make it quick.
Come on.
That's enough.
You know...
I, uh, I may have chosen poorly at times.
Especially when raising you.
But I'll tell you this.
I will spend my every last breath
tellin' you to be a good daddy to that boy.
Do you think I didn't care when you left me, too?
I just had to get out of here.
Why?
So you could throw it all away, like your sister did?
- I gotta go. - Adam...
Adam...
He needs you.
You fought for him.
You fought for your country, you fought overseas,
you fought for all of us.
Now it's time that you have to fight for you, son.
Like that little boy's life depends on it.
You understand me?
I am.
Adam...
Adam!
Would you do something for me?
What?
Don't let Phil turn out like me.
Damn it, Adam.
Okay, he's gotta be getting a shipment soon.
God, maybe we've done such great work
that there's no longer a demand, right?
Ugh. Or maybe not.
Okay...
Hood's up. His door is open.
Oh, I just never thought it would be like this.
Oh, my God! No, I'm not...
I hate things that kill.
Please... It's for protection.
He sees us.
I just, I don't want things to escalate, Edward.
He's armed. We gotta be armed.
He's looking at us.
Come on.
Hey, heh.
Just wanna talk.
- Freeze! - No, wait!
Freeze!
Dad!
My God.
Get over here. Come on!
I shouldn't have brought my gun.
What?
Hazel was right.
You...
You did this?
What did you do?
What did you do? What did you... do?!
What did you do?
Fuck.
Why Hazel?
I'm sorry.
Those who walk with God,
have peace in their heart...
and eternal rest forever.
Our Father... who art in Heaven...
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses...
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Listen up!
Have you had enough?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes.
Have you had enough?
Yeah!
Are you ready to do something?
We're doin' the march.
You're doin' the march?
- Yeah. - Hey, we're doin' the march.
We'll do our own damn march!
We will hunt these motherfuckers down...
one by one.
Fuck, yeah!
- Are you ready? - Yeah!
Do you give a shit?!
Then we rally!
Follow me!
Hey! He deals, get him!
Hi, you guys.
I don't... I don't have any more candles.
Well, it's only about a mile to the memorial.
Everyone needs to have a flame.
Hey.
Adam, you scared us.
What are you guys doing?
Huntin'. Where's Edward?
He's back in town. He's puttin' up flyers
for his peace march.
Why's he doin' that? Who wants peace right now?
Hey, listen, man...
Don't fuckin' touch me.
We're huntin' these guys down.
The whole town's huntin' for 'em.
And his old man.
Not the whole town. What are you doin'?
Waitin' on Edward.
Are you in?
Yeah, I'm in.
You?
No, I'm not fucking in.
You really think this is what Hazel would want?
I think Hazel's dead.
That's what I think.
Let's go.
Let's go!
- Adam! Adam! - Whoo!
This is fucking crazy, man! You need to call this off.
It's the only way, Johnny!
Look at this shit, Adam! You started it!
You got to put a fucking end to it!
♪ ...the light ♪
♪ No more darkness ♪
♪ No more night ♪
Someone's getting killed here, guys, I'm outta this!
Fuck this!

Let him go!

Adam, you are better than this. What are you doing?
What I can.
Hey, look at me. I know you
and this isn't you.
Please don't do this.
Tonight is the night!
To remember Hazel!
To remember Hazel... and everyone we've lost,
and to honor them with more than just thoughts and prayers.
Tonight we rid ourselves of these snakes and their poison.
No more will we watch our sons and daughters,
our sisters and brothers, die in our midst. No more!
Tonight we take responsibility.
I take responsibility, you take responsibility
for your community.
And stop the spread of this fuckin' poison.
By marching for peace!
Fuck peace!
No more! No more.
For Paul!
This is not what Hazel wanted!
Residents of Whispering Pines,
disperse and go home. Now!
Put down your weapons and disperse immediately,
or face arrest.
Adam!
Burn! Burn!
Burn! Burn! Burn!
Jesus, what have I done?
Whoo!
Kenny!
I know you're fucking in here.
Hey, man...
Where am I?
I... I can't breathe.
Good.
H-Help, man...
Don't fucking touch me, man.
Die. I wanna watch.
I'm sick...
Cheyenne was sick. You fucking killed her.
Help...
Don't you fucking touch me.
Good. Fucking die.
Help, man, help...
Listen. Listen, listen.
Listen, hey, I want you to know this.
You see this? Can you see this?
I'm supposed to fucking save your life.
This'll fucking save your life...
- I didn't... - You're gonna fucking die.
You're gonna die, 'cause you're a piece of shit dealer,
who dealt to my sister. You're gonna fucking die.
- I didn't... - Motherfucker, you killed her.
- I didn't kill her. - You fucking killed her!
She was my dealer.
Fuck me...
Fuck!
Fuck.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
Dammit.
Oh, God.
Did you kill him?
No.
Why not?
It's complicated.
Dealer's soul rot in hell.
Hmm.
If you knew the whole story,
I'm not sure you'd be saying that.
Was it all worth it?
I don't know.
I, um, I know it wasn't your fault.
Maybe things will change.
Maybe.
How is he?
Perfect.
He's a good little boy.
Yeah, he is.
He's been asking for you all night.
So...
I'm gonna go see him.
Thank you.
Hey, buddy. Come here.
Ohh...
Hi.
How you doing?
- Daddy! - Yeah?
Hi, everyone.
My name is Brittany.
Now, though you probably don't know me at all,
you probably do remember my Aunt Hazel.
She reminded us of the value of life,
of every life.
She carried the burden of other people's poor choices.
She knew unimaginable loss.
And she made it her life's mission to remind us
that the choices we make to dismiss those lives
and turn and look the other way when our friends and family
are dying is not acceptable.
Something has to change in our hearts.
We get a chance to be that change.
And it all starts with you remembering that your decisions have an impact.
Lieutenant.
Yeah, not anymore.
Budget cuts.
Hmm. Real life.
So... what you gonna do now?
Same as I've always done.
Protect my town.
No more death to drugs.
I remember what my Aunt Hazel stood for.
And I remember what she died for.
I'm just here today so that you don't forget either.
Thank you.
During filming of this movie, statistics continue to rise.
Recent studies show a predicted
10 percent increase of fatalities per year.
These overwhelming numbers greatly surpass
the amount of deaths during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
As these numbers continue to rise,
it is time to raise awareness of this horrible epidemic,
fight back,
and create lasting, significant change.
