00:23Which is which?
00:25We don't know.
00:32We don't know what to do.
00:42We don't know what to do.
00:46Paula.
01:25What's wrong with fingerprints?
01:27How dare you?
01:42Show me what you showed her.
02:12He had a will?
02:13Yes.
02:14Life insurance?
02:15Yes.
02:17I hate to ask these things, but...
02:18We're taken care of.
02:21What about a funeral?
02:22I don't know.
02:26The ranch, maybe.
02:29I guess I'll take care of his brother as well.
02:31He didn't...
02:32He doesn't have anyone.
02:34Then you'll never be able to visit him, Stacy.
02:36I'll close my eyes when I want to visit him.
02:39What are you going to do with this cabin?
02:41It's not my cabin.
02:42It's your cabin now.
02:44And if you sell it, then you can't visit him anywhere.
02:47Think about that.
02:47Bring him home.
02:48This is too much.
02:49Too many decisions for one day.
02:51Take a sleeping pill.
02:52I plan to.
02:53I'll call you tomorrow.
02:53Okay.
02:56Okay.
03:07Okay.
03:19Okay.
03:20I'm sure they've been chasing September.
03:22I'm sure I've been careful.
03:25You've got to do it.
03:26I'm sure you've got to do it.
03:30Oh, my God.
03:33Oh, my God.
03:34Oh, my God.
03:37Oh, my God.
03:37Oh, my God.
03:37Oh, my God.
03:38Oh, my God.
03:39Oh, my God.
03:41We were thinking of slumber party.
03:44I'm fine.
03:45Come on.
03:48There's bound to be some shitty pizza in this town.
03:51Is there?
03:53I hope so.
03:58Girls, can you ninja up some Netflix on the TV?
04:03For you...
04:04Oh, God bless you.
04:07Nothing teaches you to sell the Medicaid like a good divorce.
04:11What do you want, Grandma?
04:13A comedy.
04:16What about A River Runs Through It?
04:19It was Grandpa's favorite movie.
04:23A river may run through it, but I've never actually gotten through it.
04:28So, in honor of him...
04:33We've come to the right place.
04:38Pizza.
04:39Can you find some?
04:40Pizza?
04:40Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:41And ice cream.
04:43What flavors?
04:44Dazzles with options.
04:46Done.
04:46Thanks, Russ.
04:50Is it gonna be sad?
04:53No.
04:54It's about fishing.
04:55How sad can it be?
05:08I am haunted by words.
05:12Thanks, Mom.
05:13I sure feel better now.
05:15Jesus.
05:16It made your father cry, too.
05:19Every time.
05:20Like...
05:21Big...
05:21Baby.
05:24Oh, that and, uh, Rudy.
05:27Only men can cry over...
05:29Fishing and football.
05:31God, for life to be that simple.
05:35You know, in 39 years of marriage, we never fought.
05:43Not once.
05:45I mean, we...
05:47We danced right to the edge, but...
05:50We both knew how precious and how rare what we had was.
06:00I should be happy that he died out here doing something that he loves.
06:08Not tethered to some hospital bed like most men waiting to die.
06:19He died living.
06:22Not...
06:23Existing.
06:26How many could say that?
06:29I hope you find what we had someday, honey.
06:32I really, really do.
06:33I hope you meet a man that's worth missing.
06:38I just, like, want to return my call.
06:41Oh, God.
06:42We could work on your standards.
06:45No.
07:11Do you guys have service?
07:16Are we close?
07:17I don't know.
07:18Never been there before.
07:20We're close, I think.
07:34We're close, I think.
07:37I guess this is it.
07:39This is it?
07:40This is what the nap says.
07:42Stop.
08:02I've seen that photo.
08:06Okay.
08:55We'd be worried about bears?
08:57Preston never mentioned bears.
09:53We'd be worried about bears.
09:55There's a sink and a shower, but no toilet.
09:58Toilets are outside.
10:00Outside?
10:01There's no septic system.
10:02The cabins are too close to the river.
10:04And that's why we never visited.
10:06I have absolutely no idea how you would get this furniture up here.
10:14Where are you going?
10:15I want to find Preston's cabin.
10:18Well, take this.
10:18Be careful.
10:22Uh, what's that?
10:23Bear spray.
10:24You said no bears.
10:25I said he never mentioned bears.
10:27I said he never said he never said he never said he never said he never said he never said
10:31he never said he never said he never said he never said he never said he never said he never
10:43said he never said he never said he never said he never said he never said he never said he

10:53said he never
10:56I don't know.
11:26I don't know.
12:15I'm taking a bath.
12:16Don't you have dinner with the girls tonight?
12:19No.
12:20Bridget has some dance, something in Chelsea of all places.
12:26As if there aren't 12 ballet academies nearby.
12:30And Paige has some work, something with Russell at that new club they wasted their money joining.
12:37Our money.
12:39They wasted our money joining it.
12:42I stand corrected.
12:44What are you doing?
12:45I am making coffee.
12:48What time is it there?
12:50I don't know.
12:505.30.
12:51Babe, you'll be up all night.
12:53Well, I try to sleep as little as possible when I'm here.
12:58You know, at night, the bull elk come down to the river and bugle.
13:03They bugle.
13:04They bugle.
13:05It's kind of a high-pitched, almost like a whistle, and it drives the lady elk crazy.
13:10Oh, I remember when you used to bugle.
13:14I can still bugle.
13:16Well, it's more like a trombone these days.
13:19But, hey, I am no spring lady elk, so trombone is just fine with me.
13:26How do you make coffee?
13:27I thought you said you didn't have electricity.
13:29Well, it's electricity.
13:30Just no outlets.
13:32We got a light over the porch and light over the table.
13:36Huh.
13:38You didn't answer my question.
13:40Well, I build a fire in the stove and fill the pot from the river.
13:46Pour the coffee in the pot.
13:49Boil the water, and there you go.
13:52You can taste the smoke, Stacy.
13:54It's the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.
14:00Oh, honey, I think you are romanticizing this to the point of physical impossibility.
14:06Maybe you should just wash the pot.
14:09Well, technically, it's a percolator.
14:11Ah.
14:12And if you'll ever come here, I'll make you a cup.
14:16The best you'll ever have.
14:18If you really wanted me to come there, you and your brother would build a bathroom.
14:22It has a bathroom.
14:23Inside the house.
14:25God, you're spoiled.
14:28Conveniences have become your necessities.
14:30We went camping once a long time ago.
14:34Or have you managed to block that out?
14:36No, no, no, no.
14:37That was not camping.
14:39That was an excuse to get you in a tent.
14:41I had planned nothing past the sex.
14:45Well, you married a city mouse, honey.
14:48City mice stay in the city.
14:52You need to see it, Stacy.
14:55Just once.
14:56I do.
14:58I do see it.
14:58Every time you send a picture of you and some traumatized trout.
15:03It's not the same.

23:54mother
23:56they make grits in alabama
23:57you're telling me it's the same thing as the dish from italy

24:06somebody pour me some wine

25:40they're my children
25:41they're my nieces
25:41you know what i mean they're basically my children
25:44they're not even kind of your children but if you want them to be your children
25:48you can get them to dance on tuesday and thursday and then take them to fucking parameza in the morning
25:53for gymnastics
25:54fine the children i'm not lying to the children
25:58i don't see why not i'm lying to mine
26:01are you enjoying the elk page
26:05what
26:07it's elk
26:13elk
26:13like the deer
26:15no no not a deer
26:16the big deer
26:17no it's a different species
26:18it's kind of like grits and polenta according to your logic
26:22it has big horns
26:24and hooves
26:25and it was roaming around freely until your brother-in-law shot it
26:28that's what i'm eating
26:29i'm not sure that they have hooves
26:32did you know
26:34you knew i can fucking tell
26:36you knew and you cooked it and you're just gonna let me eat it
26:39i think it's really good
26:42mom
26:42what do you think is gonna happen to all the food in this house page
26:46it's gonna get eaten or it's gonna rot
26:49i didn't kill the thing your uncle will never kill another one
26:52i suppose we could throw it all away
26:54and then it's nourishing some raccoon or worms or
26:58i guess
26:59or it can nourish us
27:02which is what it's doing
27:06when's the last time you cooked a meal page
27:08not reheated one not microwaved one
27:10we picked that from a garden
27:12your uncle took that from somewhere around here
27:14the cornmeal is in a jar
27:17did he make that maybe
27:20everything we ate
27:21came from this
27:23this little world that your father adored
27:27we made a meal from this place together
27:31i think it's beautiful
27:32i think it's perfect
27:35and i know your father would too
27:40i wonder who has to die for us to make another meal together
27:46good night
27:48Let's go.
28:34I wonder if that stuff works.
28:38I guess. So long as the wind is at your back.
28:42Good point.
28:47What are you reading?
28:50A journal.
28:54Your father kept a journal here.
28:5825 years.
29:02What's it say?
29:03It talks about which river, and then it says to crack a window and lighting the stove in a wind,
29:13there's a downdraft that pushes the smoke back into the cabin.
29:17It's half diary, half how-to guide.
29:22Then there's this about me.
29:31There's a, um, spot upriver, and he calls it Stacy's Valley.
29:42The elk don't graze there for some reason, so the grass grows tall and it's yellow and it reminds him
29:48of my hair.
29:58I, I need to know his last little secret.
30:06How can I say goodbye when there's still more to know?
30:20So tomorrow morning, I'm going to get up and I'm going to find this little valley.
30:38And then I'm going to bring your father here, and I'm going to bury him there, and then I'm going
30:48to take this book and I'm going to visit every place he wrote about.
30:56And you can tell me I'm crazy. You can say, I need to move on. I have a whole life
31:01ahead of me and all that shit.
31:03I am 65 years old. I don't have a whole life ahead of me. I have a very small window
31:09to be reckless, to make decisions that feed this, and never factor this into the equation.
31:17And that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do what he begged me to do for 30 years.
31:25I'm going to do what he begged me to do for 30 years.
31:26I'm going to finally see this place.
31:32Want some company?
31:37I'd love some.
31:42Well, then I'll see you in the morning.
31:43Okay.
32:18Poor choice of footwear in retrospect.
32:56Hi.
33:05I personally, for the record, feel that we are underdressed, unarmed, and just generally
33:11unprepared for any kind of exploratory venture afoot.
33:15Afoot.
33:17I didn't know they taught the Queen's English at Brown.
33:20Well, they do.
33:20I mean, I didn't actually study it, but the course does exist.
33:24And the world is a better place for it, Russell.
33:30Let's go find this spot.
