For whatever reason, Les takes on Lillian's fight, and the three head off in Nate's pickup to find and neutralize Blackway. We learn that Les is still broken up by the death of his daughter and that Blackway has harassed and disrespected Les, too. He enlists young Nate (Alexander Ludwig), a stammering hunk who obeys Les like a respectful puppy. Wizzer tells her to leave town but Les volunteers to help her. On that quest, she runs into a bunch of logger-geezers, including Wizzer ( Hal Holbrook) and Les ( Anthony Hopkins). Unwilling to take on Blackway, the sheriff suggests Lillian consult and enlist the aid of others who are equally aggrieved about the dangerous thug. So, when Blackway starts harassing her, she's disinclined to pack up and blow town just because a bully has her in his sights. It's suggested that she's had a checkered past and is eager to stay in one stable place. She's just moved back to the logging country town of her youth, settling in the house her recently deceased mother left her. That's what Lillian ( Julia Stiles) learns when she complains to the sheriff that Blackway ( Ray Liotta) has sexually assaulted her, stalked and menaced her, and cut the head off her cat. He's presumably so scary that the local sheriff refuses to do anything about him. BLACKWAY, the movie's title character, is far worse than a simple town bully.
