I wasn't even sure I'd recognize you.
But you did. Yeah.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
THERAPIST: Are you there?
Is your father there?
Yes.
THERAPIST: Your sure it's really him
a real man not just an idea of him?
It's him.
THERAPIST: Tell him.

Dad,
I forgive you.

No, I'm good.
Thanks.
Hi.
Hey, Jewel.
(DOG GROWLING)
Come on puppy it's me.
Linda, do you remember me?
I'm your sister Jenibel.
I'm sorry I've been gone so long.
You look different.
Well, I missed you.
Well, it's not like we've been hiding.
How are you, Neil?
Busy.
Pretty much run things around here now.
It's good to see you.
I was starting to think you were never gonna come back.
So is dad in a lot of pain?
Well, I don't think he feels anything
except maybe thirsty.
He's always been thirsty.
For Christ's sake.
Pilot boy just dumps them here.
There's a storm coming and he just leaves them outside.
Hey, Andre
supplies front dock.
Place would fall apart without me here.
Fall apart.
I can help with those.
Ah, don't be stupid.
You got your own bag to carry sister.
JENIBEL: You coming.
She'll follow.
LINDA: Come on Jewel.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

The prodigal daughter
returned at long last.
Bruce pick you up on time?
He did.
How long you gonna be here for?
For what the doctor's say.
Bert's the only doctor up here.
One's plenty.
You're right about that one son.
Neil, I need to talk to your sister.
Why don't you check on our guest.
Christ you grew right into your mother.
You should be happy.
You didn't grew into me.
I am.
Are you disappointed I'm not
lying in bed rolling around in pain?
Is that why you're here
to see the death rattle?
I'm here because you told me you were dying.
Well,
I do appreciate that.
It's a big ticket.
Dad, there's something I've been wanting to say to you.
Don't. No, I need to.
It's not necessary I forgive you.
What?
You're here now that's all that matters.
I need a nap. Are you serious?
You know how many years it's been.
Yes, okay, okay.
We can talk about it later.
But I need some sleep.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Hello, Andre.
How are you doing?
You should be aware that dinner for guests

Louisa alright?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)

Looks the same.
I like it the same.
Thank you for bringing my bag up.
You aren't gonna stay home now.
I can't live here anymore.
You happy here?
It's boring.
Yeah.
Well, at least I like to swim.

Hello.
Well, all grown up now.
I didn't know the ladies ventured this far north.
A little lost from the flock, Randy.
Be good boys.
Hey, welcome home.
JENIBEL: Thank you.
Now you probably don't remember us.
Joe Bananali.
This is Randal Peters.
I think I do remember.
It's nice to see you both again.
Hey, Louisa.
You know you used to be the one who would
serve the drinks up on nights like these.
Do you remember that?
She's, uh. I gathered.
Still looks beautiful though.
Jenibel.
Jenibel Elizabeth Heath
as the holy Jesus Christ is my witness
I never thought we'd see you in these parts again.
Pleasure. Dr. Morrison
it's good to see you.
Bert, you can call me Bert now.
Doctor are you drinking this evening?
Given the circumstances I think I will.
To the hive.
To family.
GROUP: Family.
(COUGHING) It's a bit rocky.
It just needs more honey that's all.
Andre. Thank you.
You know what we're missing.
What was that song your mother taught you?
That lovely song you always used to play.
A Gold Rush Serenade.
Yeah, I hated that song.
Play it.
I just said I hated it.
It was a gift mother gave you.
A gift to be shared.
Come on. Okay.
(CROWD APPLAUDING)
Hold the applause I am probably gonna mess this up.

How was your nap?
Natalie.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Natalie, they told me you were dead.
Ma, that's not Natalie.
You still play so beautifully.
Thank you but I'm Jenibel.
Natalie was my mom remember.
They told me you killed yourself.
But I'm Jenibel.
But if you're dead how can you have a little girl?
Is Linda your little girl?
Do something for Christ sake.
Bruce, help your mother.
Ma, why don't you sit down okay.
Have a seat.
Jesus, Jenny
you sure know how to stir things up.
Andre, can I have something else to drink?
No, you most certainly cannot.
This is what we serve at the hive.
This is it nothing else.
Dad,
why don't you just sit.
Cowardly but caring son.
A vengeful daughter.
Even a wonderful little angel.
You know Marv there's a time for being an asshole
and there's a time for drinking your drink
You're old enough to know the difference come on.
Oh, Bert.
Bert.
I only have so much asshole left.
It's a precious commodity.
You see gentleman
my wife
she abandoned me in this life
and what'd she leave me
besides this beautiful island?
The honey, our family honey
sweetness from a million tiny flowers
a thousand busy workers down our thirsty throats
and into our blood.
We are not just tying one on.
We are metabolizing our home.
Don't you think you've metabolized enough
for one day, dad?
I never raised her to be rude
so there must be something to this
environmental influence we hear so much about.
You didn't raise me at all.
You shipped me off to England.
I say what I mean.
I only say what's true.
Alright, well then why don't you tell everyone
why mom killed herself say what's true about that.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(DOOR CREAKING OPEN)
I need you to get up and come out front.
Why?
Now.
Where are you going?
Well, be back soon.
Go back to sleep, honey.
I love you.
Put the suit on.
No way.
Put it on I don't want you getting stung.
No, I'm not going near those things.
I'm asking you as nicely as I am capable of.
Please put on the damn suit.
Honey is the only part of the business
that still makes a profit.
Oh, no that bad, huh.
Seems like hunting for one's food has gone out of style.
Jenny,
grab the veil.
Those are
what we affectionately call our ruby red.
I made a bad batch fermental last year.
I mean it really went sideways.
It's poisonous as hell.
A spoon full will make you sick fever, hallucinations.
Half a cup probably kill ya.
Why keep it?
Are you kidding?
You know what it takes to make a batch of honey.
It's a whole lifetime for a bee.
You don't just take it away from him and destroy it.
Really?
I use it
to kill squirrels and raccoons and such.
All the creatures they want my wonderful honey.
What are we doing, dad?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRY COUGHING)
We received a generous offer
to buy the hive the entire parcel.
You've received offers before.
You're never gonna sell this place.
You think you know everything always have.
Whoa.
Time to breach the fiery gates of hell.
Time to set everyone free.
I don't think Neil really wants to be set free.
Neil.
Neil isn't fully formed.
The boy needs rescuing
and I'm gonna do just that.
Put on the mask.
What about you?
I am gonna be just fine.
I know you hate me, Jenny.
What are you doing?
I need you to promise me something.
Stop it, dad.
Open the gate.
I need you to accept the offer and sell this place.
No.
Promise me, Jenny.
You sell it if you want to. Promise me.
Get out of there.
I'm sorry, Jenny.
Hey, you're acting insane.
Dad.
(LOUD SCREAMING)
Dad.
Jesus.
I can stop it.
I promise.
(LOUD SCREAMING)
MARVIN: Come on.
Come on.

Dad, give me your key please.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Dad, give me the key.
Why are you doing this to me?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Daddy.
(IMPASSIONED SOBBING)
Well, bastard finally imploded.
(DOOR CREAKING OPEN)
Jesus.
Did you see him, Bert?
Yeah, yeah.
Just don't understand.
Well, dad was never gonna die in bed.
He always said he'd kill himself first.
I'm gonna need some help with body.
Should I ask Andre?
No, I'll do it.
What are you gonna do with him?
We'll put him in the gun shed for now.
It's where we keep dead animals.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DOOR CREAKING OPEN)
Can you sit down for me?
Linda, what you saw
daddy died today.
Daddy was mad.
Always mad.
I know.
Not anymore.
Linda, things are gonna be different now
and that means that some things might have to change.
Can you be a brave girl?
Can you let things change?
Yes.
Good girl.

I didn't mean to mommy.
I'm sorry.
NATALIE: Sorry changes nothing.
Why did you do it, mom?
Why?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(HYSTERICAL SOBBING)
I'm sorry please don't leave me.
BRUCE: Jenny.
Why did you leave us?
Did you get her down okay?
Yeah, yeah she's fine.
Are you?
I really don't know.
I came as soon as I could.
I am so sorry, Jenny.
Did you see fireworks tonight?
Yeah, yeah those idiots.
I dropped them off yesterday up river for a photo safari.
I guess nature wasn't photogenic enough.
Hey, have a seat.
I thought...
I thought Louisa was my mother.
My aunt made me see a therapist for a little while.
I was having what she called waking dreams.
Is that what you had tonight?
Well, you've always been the
well adjusted one in your family.
I never got the chance to forgive him.
I should get some sleep at least try to.
Okay.
Thank you for listening.
I'm fine.
NATALIE: Jenibel.
My baby.
My girl where are you?
Please we wrestle with the flesh
with the darkness in the darkness,
the darkness that is real.
That is for you (MUMBLING).
I miss you not in the flesh
but the darkness that is real.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(THUNDER ROARING)
Here start with this.
Hmm.
That smells delicious.
So I was thinking we could spend the day together.
You know maybe once the weather clears
take a flight up river.
Bruce, I have to deal with things here
and I need to go back home.
Yeah, all right.
We can check the weather after breakfast, okay.
Thank you.
Well, I am not an estate lawyer.
But your father changed his will couple of weeks ago
and timing makes sense now.
He asked me to execute
and so now that Jenna's here
it seems like as good a time as any so I will execute.
Now I'm not gonna read this legal mumbo jumbo.
The gist of it is that the two of you split everything,
the business, the land, the assets and also the debts.
What debts?
I don't know Neil but I understand there are some debts.
Well, I know you don't have any interest in this place.
I'll find a way to buy you out okay.
Neil, the terms of the split are 51/49.
Yeah, 51 to Jenibel.
So what that means is the two of you own everything
but Jenibel has a controlling interest.
Any major decisions are ultimately hers to make.
Your father wanted you to be in charge
so that you could fulfill verbal promises says here.
Don't know what that means.
Wait a goddamn minute.
Neil. Yeah, well
I'm sorry Neil but that's...
I'm the one that's been here this whole time.
I'm the one that's run this place.
We know that son.
But unfortunately your father's wishes are very clear.
He wants Jenibel in charge legally at least.
And I'm afraid that's really all there is to say
lest you have any questions.
Yeah.
Yeah, I have a question.
Yeah, I thought you might. (TENSE MUSIC)
I mean since I'm an orphan and all.
Please may I have some more?
Please, sir may I have some more?
Please, sir may I have some goddamn more?
This is so unfair.
He should've just sold the place.
Well, he couldn't.
When your mother died she gave
the place to him in trust only.
Her will stipulated he was not allowed to sell it
only to pass it on to the children.
Now he's dead so it can be sold by me.
Well, Jenibel your mother...
I should make sure Neil's okay.
Thank you for handling this.
Right, right.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Neil.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
How did you stand right here?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Don't leave me alone.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(GENTLE SOBBING)
Dad.
Whoa, what the Christ happened to you?
I just got a bit lost in the woods I'm fine.
Here put this on you must be freezing.
I said thank you. Yeah.
It's just terrible.
We don't understand how could anybody...
I mean this probably isn't a good time.
But we do need to talk to you
about some business that we had with your dad.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You are the buyers.
We have a deal that's pretty much closed, yes.
Okay.
(DARK PIANO MUSIC)
Do you wanna learn?
Yes, please.
Alright so your part is pretty easy
so give me this hand
and we go one and then two three.
Just like that keep doing that.
One, two, three.
My part.
Is this what grieving sounds like?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
We'll, practice more later okay?
(SOFT KNOCKING ON DOOR)
I heard you got scraped up.
Are you okay?
I guess you think it's kind of childish of me
taking off like that.
Be nice if you'd remember
that I haven't done anything wrong.
Peter and Bananali they wanna buy this place don't they?
Yeah.
They made dad an offer.
Well, they're snakes.
Why don't we talk to them together.
There's nothing to talk about.
Neil.
Before he died
dad made me promise him something.
He made me swear I would sell the lot.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
This could be a new beginning for everyone.
It's what he wanted.
We'll, figure it out.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Well, let's talk about what you guys want with this place.
I mean do you guys even know
how to run an operation like this?
No, of course you don't.
We're not gonna be running it.
Neil, the one thing that we really admired about your dad
was that he spoke plain right.
I mean you didn't always have to like what he said.
But you know he meant it when he said it.
I know what kind of man my father was.
Okay, we have been very up front about
what our intentions are right from the get go.
We don't want the hive.
We don't wanna be in the hunting and fishing business.
This is beautiful territory.
But most of it's protected land.
Now you guys have 35 acres.
Okay, we wanna develop it.
High end cottage properties we wanna do 10.
What we're buying and selling is acreage
on the kind of remote water side spread
that's kind of rare these days.
We wanna build homes where we can put families in
for the whole summer.
You guys will be making a lot of people very happy.
So what you're just gonna tear this place down?
Your dad knew our plans.
I don't believe it.
Not one word of it.
This is not our dad.
Here Jenny.
This is all of the correspondence.
Contract drafts, sales offers, counter offers
everything is right there.
You dad even did his own mark up in ball point pen.
He was pretty shrewd I ought to say.
He went head to head with our lawyers
and pissed them off plenty.
It's a generous offer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Neil, calm down.
(SOFT HISSING)
Screw you and screw you.
This is my land our land
and I'm not selling.
I'm not selling.
(DOOR SLAMMING)
I'm gonna need sometime to look this over.
Thank you, Jenibel.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Oh, I've been looking for you.
Well, you found me.
Neil told me about those fellas and their offer.
Neil is upset.
Yeah, well you wouldn't actually do that to us.
It's what my dad wanted.
He made me promise
that I would sell this place.
Let me tell you something this land
has remained pristine since our families had stayed.
Your family and mine have been here a long, long time.
Don't you understand.
The man killed himself so everyone here
could finally move on with their lives.
He was a sick man.
Yeah, what about your mother's wishes.
She was never happy here.
She never trusted him. You were young.
You didn't understand what he went through.
Your mother was not well for a long, long time.
But she did love this place.
She loved it deeply.
I've been up all night long
reviewing everything I could find.
And what we've inherited is a lot of debt.
This is a good offer.
Yeah, well Neil has some ideas.
Come on.
BERT: At least hear him out.
We can't afford Neil's ideas.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I have intention of going anywhere.
Jenibel I'm not gonna let you do this
not to your family and not to me.
I'm sorry.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Think I don't know what you're doing.
Now you see me.
Now.
First you're one thing then you're another.
First from behind me then you're in front of me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I don't understand.
You do.
You do because you made it all.
You made it all because it fits you.
But it doesn't fit me.
It digs in
and it cuts
and it digs deeper.
Natalie,
what's going on?
You're not making any sense.
You're not making sense.
You're not making any sense.
You should die.
I'll make sure you stay right here
in hell.
Yes, I will.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Where is the love?
Where is the love in any of this?
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(SOFT KNOCKING ON DOOR)
They're gone.
Who?

What are you doing with that?

That's okay?
Want some coffee?

Well,
here we are.
Well, look at you.
See what a little rest can do for you.
It's hard to believe what was happening to me.
Well, what I thought was happening to me.
Well, you aren't living in your mother's time Jenibel.
These things can be controlled
with medication and proper diet and rest.
It's a quiet life up here, but
that may be exactly what you need.
You know when I woke up I actually believed
you were telling me that Linda was dead.
Jenibel you gotta listen to me.
Linda died when you were 13 years old.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
She was stung by a bee
when you two were playing by the hive
and she had an allergic reaction.
This was before your mother did what she did?
You remember?
