Is that you?
What's left.
How long has it been?
18 years.
What kind of evil you got in there?
It ain't evil, just sad.
We have a ghost here, you know.
It can't be easy, a young girl living in a haunted place.
I got a tree on my back, and a haint in my house, and nothing in between
but the daughter I'm holding in my arms.
I'm a grown man, with nothing new left to see or do.
We could make a life, girl.
What might your name be?
Beloved.
What you lookin' for when you come here, Beloved?
I look for this place I could be in.
I think the baby got plans.
A baby?
No, it's grown!
It's the age it would've been, had it lived!
She a charmed child, from the beginning.
It's clear why she holding on to you,
I just can't see why you holding on to her.
You won't ever leave us, will ya?
Don't tell me what to do!
But I'm on your side!
She the one! She the one I need!
Here, in this place, we are flesh.
Flesh that weeps,
Laughs,
Dances barefoot in the grass.
No running from nothing!
Cause I'd rather know my children away at peace in heaven,
than living a hell here on earth! So help me, Jesus.
Me and my woman's planning on starting a new life!
Nobody's gonna own us no more!
Nobody's gonna own my children, either!
No matter what happen, God has led you home.
You came back to me.
I know.
