Wicked Little Things

Bull Foreman!

Bull Foreman!

Get these little immigrant bastards on their feet.

We've got two hours of daylight left.

You heard Mr. Carlton. You got two hours.

I need a small one.

You. What's your name?

Mary.

Down!

Just get in there, and don't think about it.

Just leave the sticks and back out now.

Mary! Come on! Get out here!

Old Man Carlton wants this section open.

Now light it up!

She's just a child.

You want to be out on your ass?

Sarah, stop it.

Okay, it's enough, Sarah.

God, you've been fudging with the radio for like an hour now.

You can say "fuck," Mom.

I've heard it before.

Mommy, how much longer?

Soon, Emma. Very, very soon.

You said that like an hour ago.

Okay, so we're going to stop up here in Addytown and get some supplies,

and then the house is not far up the mountain from there.

Can I get a candy bar, Mom?

Please, Mom, just one. Please?

Do you want anything, Sarah?

Yeah, to go home.

Will that be all, ma'am?

Yeah, and the candy bar.

$32.1 8.

On the house, little one.

These pictures are kind of creepy.

Easy to get lost in these woods.

Might I ask what you're doing up in these hills?

Oh. We're moving here.

To Addy?

No, little further up. Carlton?

My husband...

My late husband was a Tunny.

Did you know them?

I know the house.

Ain't been no Tunnys around here in years, though.

Yeah, I think my husband was one of the last.

But we inherited the house, so...

We don't make deliveries up there.

Okay.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Walter.

Walter, I'm Karen.

What's your name, little one?

Emma.

And this is Sarah.

Let's get out of here before it gets dark.

These woods creep me out.

Well, thank you, Walter. It was very nice to meet you.

I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of you.

You bet.

Bye, Emma.

What's that movie called about the guy who gets his head chopped off?

Why did he get his head chopped off?

Stop scaring Emma.

Yeah, Johnny Depp was in it.

That's what this looks like.

Like we're in the fricking legend of Sleepy Hollow.

- Asshole! - Asshole.

Hey, Emma, it's not funny.

Jesus, Mom, you almost killed us!

Is everyone okay?

Yeah, except for the fact that I almost pissed my pants!

- Mom, where are you going? - Just stay here.

Hello?

Hello!

Where did he go?

I don't know.

He just disappeared.

That's got to be it.

You cannot be serious.

Is this where we're going to live, Mom?

For a while, baby.

There's no way I'm living here.

Mom, it's a wreck. We're in the middle of nowhere.

Quit your bitching. Hmm?

What's that on the door?

What is it, Mom?

I don't know, baby.

It looks like paint or something.

Looks like blood to me.

Why would it be blood?

It's not blood.

Give it a rest.

Lock's broken.

That's reassuring.

Great, no electricity.

Wow, it's big. It's bigger than our other house!

I wanna see my room!

Be careful, Emma!

This place is filthy.

I wonder how old that Christmas tree is.

At least they had a Christmas.

Why don't we get everything out of the car, you know, before it gets dark?

I'm going to go look for the breaker box.

Why don't you see if the water's turned on yet, okay?

Fine.

Figures.

There's fricking rats!

One just tried to rip my throat out.

Mom!

What if the rat comes back?

He won't.

But what if he does?

Then we'll chop him up and feed him to the monster.

What monster?

Would you please stop scaring your sister?

I wanna go home.

This is our home.

At least until I can figure out what to do with it.

This is not home.

This is Dad's bad joke on us.

Don't do this, Sarah.

Not now.

Because I can't handle it.

What happened wasn't his fault.

He loved you.

He loved

all of us.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Hey, you guys?

I know this has been really tough on all of us.

What we're going to do is work together, and we'll get through it.

- Right, Emma? - Right!

- Right? - Right.

I like sleeping together.

Well, it's just for tonight,

because tomorrow morning we're going to clean up this place

and then you guys are going to each have your own room.

That's something you've never had before, huh?

What about school?

There's one in Addytown.

I talked to them. You can start late,

you know, after we get settled in and everything.

With a bunch of demented mountain hicks?

Uh-huh.

- Mom! - Good night.

I might have to check these pipes down in the basement, miss.

The real estate agent promised that everything would be working.

Well, I didn't get the call till last evening to come up here.

This is so frustrating.

I found out yesterday that we don't have phone service,

and, of course, my cell phone isn't working. Sarah!

I'm surprised they even turned on the electric for you.

- What? - I need you to run down to that store

that we stopped at on the way up here and get as much from this list as you can.

Mom, look at me.

I have not taken a shower in two days.

I'm not going anywhere in public.

I'll let you drive the car. Uh-uh.

To the store and back. Take it slow.

- Thank you. - Hey!

- Shut up! - Butthead.

Doesn't look like this thing's been working for years.

At least no water's been run through it.

- Ma'am, let me ask you something. - Mmm?

Why would you move up here to these mountains?

It's really no place to live.

My husband passed away.

Oh.

Sorry to hear that.

It was a long illness and a lot of money.

We didn't have much to start with.

So, after it was over,

then all that was left was this old family house.

I was hoping to fix it...

Yeah.

Who are these children?

What?

These... Who are these children?

Oh.

There was some kids.

It was years ago. They used to work up at the Carlton mine.

What am I supposed to do with this thing?

Who is this?

What?

The man.

Ah!

Edmund Carlton.

He used to own this whole mountain and everybody on it.

You know, you're gonna have to replace all these pipes.

How long is that going to take?

Shouldn't take too long, but I'll...

I'll be out of here by nightfall. That's for sure.

How many families are left up here?

Well, there's Aaron Hanks. I still see him down in Addy every once in a while.

Then, of course, there's the last of the Carltons, who... He doesn't live up here,

but he's been coming around, buying up all the property...

Maybe he'd wanna buy this place.

Maybe.

I know he's going to tear down the Carlton mansion.
