00:00:35Nice one.
00:00:36Not very happy about the hook in his dinner.
00:00:42Catch him on a hopper?
00:00:46Hopper's out yet?
00:00:47There's one out.
00:00:50They're sure not buying this salmon fly.
00:00:53You're not buying your presentation.
00:00:54You're slapping the water with it.
00:00:56Just lay it.
00:00:58Too much action in your wrist.
00:01:00Stop trying to hail a cab on Fifth Avenue.
00:01:04Just lay it down.
00:01:08Like that.
00:01:17And on a hopper.
00:01:18I do this for a living, big brother.
00:01:20Well, sort of.
00:01:21You should do it for a living.
00:01:23Never make work of your passions.
00:01:25Well, counterpoint to that is love what you do.
00:01:27You never work a day in your life.
00:01:28You love what you do?
00:01:29I don't even like what I do.
00:01:31You should analyze that.
00:01:32That's exactly what I'm doing.
00:01:34I'm glad you're doing something,
00:01:35because you damn sure ain't catching any trout.
00:01:40You better not be doing what I think you're doing.
00:01:44Tying on a nymph.
00:01:45Don't you dare.
00:01:46This is my last day, Paul.
00:01:48I'm tying on a nymph.
00:01:49And if you fuck with me even a little,
00:01:52I'm putting on a streamer.
00:01:53I don't know you anymore.
00:01:55I recognize your face,
00:01:56but the words coming from it
00:01:57are the words of a stranger.
00:01:59I don't know you anymore.
00:02:05Ha!
00:02:06Doesn't count.
00:02:07It counts.
00:02:08I got a spin caster in the truck.
00:02:10Why don't you just put some cheese on a treble hook?
00:02:12Out of here.
00:02:18Hey, I'm keeping it.
00:02:20Of course you are, fucking fish killer.
00:02:22I'm keeping it,
00:02:24and you're cooking it.
00:02:26All right.
00:02:27And lay it out there.
00:02:53Hey, I have the Hermes scarf
00:02:56from the blouse from Brunello.
00:02:57I'm meeting her at the Greenwich,
00:02:59and then we'll depart for the opening at 5.15.
00:03:01Well, does her assistant know?
00:03:03Okay, yeah.
00:03:04Calling now.
00:03:24The Washington Heights Women's Center
00:03:27will provide essential services
00:03:29for New York's most underprivileged
00:03:32and underrepresented demographic.
00:03:35Beyond reproductive care,
00:03:37the Women's Center will provide wellness care,
00:03:39counseling,
00:03:40dietary consultation.
00:03:42The nutritionist was my idea.
00:03:44The diet of some of these people is abhorrent.
00:03:46They just don't know any better.
00:03:47They don't eat junk because they like it, Laura.
00:03:49They eat it because it's cheap.
00:03:51They don't need a nutritionist.
00:03:53They need better food.
00:03:55The food bank has a bigger selection of produce
00:03:57than my whole food, Stacey.
00:03:58And that whole frauds.
00:03:59They won't eat it.
00:04:00They want chips,
00:04:01chicken nuggets,
00:04:02sugar-coated cereals.
00:04:03They need education.
00:04:05What we're really talking about today
00:04:06isn't just...
00:04:07Excuse me.
00:04:13Paige?
00:04:14I was attacked.
00:04:16Attacked?
00:04:17A man just walked up and hit me.
00:04:19Took my bag and hit me.
00:04:20Can you see it?
00:04:21Did you call the police?
00:04:23It just happened.
00:04:24Where are you?
00:04:26Downtown.
00:04:26Get in a cab.
00:04:27Should I go to the hospital?
00:04:28Like, look at this.
00:04:29No, go to Dr. Steele's office.
00:04:31I'll meet you there.
00:04:31Wait, there's a police car.
00:04:40What happened?
00:04:41I was attacked.
00:04:42And robbed.
00:04:43Somebody hit you?
00:04:44Hit me and took two bags, shopping bags.
00:04:46What do they look like?
00:04:47Uh, maybe 30.
00:04:49A navy sweatshirt.
00:04:51Put over his head, tall.
00:04:52Tall and skinny.
00:04:53What color was it?
00:04:55Color?
00:04:56His skin.
00:04:58I...
00:04:58I can't.
00:04:59I can't.
00:05:00You didn't notice?
00:05:01Was he dark like me?
00:05:03Or light like him?
00:05:06I don't know.
00:05:07I only saw him walking away.
00:05:09But you think he's 30.
00:05:10How do you know that?
00:05:11I saw it for an instant,
00:05:12but yes, he looked 30
00:05:13or maybe younger,
00:05:14but I don't want to say his race
00:05:15because I don't know.
00:05:17How about this?
00:05:18What color were the shopping bags?
00:05:19White, two of them.
00:05:21Navy blue sweatshirt,
00:05:22two white bags.
00:05:23Got it.
00:05:25You need to file a report.
00:05:27Are you still there?
00:05:33117 Park Avenue.
00:05:40How many stitches?
00:05:42I think it's going to take six.
00:05:44How big a scar?
00:05:46We'll deal with the scar later.
00:05:47It's easy for you to say.
00:05:48It's not on your face.
00:05:49Russell might like it.
00:05:50Scars are sexy.
00:05:51Scars on men are sexy.
00:05:53Scars on women are...
00:05:55I'm going to look like a battered spouse.
00:05:57I don't know why you were walking.
00:05:58Why were you walking?
00:05:59You know better than that.
00:06:00I was on Fifth Avenue, Mom.
00:06:02If you can't walk on Fifth Avenue,
00:06:03where can you walk?
00:06:04You can't.
00:06:04That's the whole point.
00:06:07Did you call Daddy?
00:06:08He's fishing.
00:06:09And that means you can't call him?
00:06:10No, honey, I can call him.
00:06:12I just can't reach him.
00:06:13He doesn't have cell service on the river.
00:06:15He'll call tonight.
00:06:16But I can tell you what he'll say.
00:06:17He'll say, take the car.
00:06:19Stay still.
00:06:22He hit me.
00:06:24For no reason.
00:06:26I would have given him the bags.
00:06:28He just hit me.
00:06:29I know.
00:06:44He just hit me.
00:07:10Just leave all that shit on the plane.
00:07:12I got a surprise for you tomorrow.
00:07:15Paul, I have to leave tomorrow.
00:07:17You're fishing the big lost tomorrow.
00:07:20You have to pack into the big lost.
00:07:22I fly in the smokejumpers, and we can use their strip.
00:07:29Happy birthday.
00:07:35Josh.
00:07:48Baby, baby, soft, soft.
00:07:53Baby, soft, soft, soft.
00:07:56Baby, soft, soft, soft.
00:07:58Baby, soft, soft.
00:08:23Sixty-four.
00:08:29Astonishing where the time goes.
00:08:32I wonder, what do I have maybe ten, fifteen years before I'm too old to do anything more than just
00:08:39remember?
00:08:48Well, it took Stacey and the kids to this resort in the Caribbean.
00:08:53Rooms are ten grand a night, villas are thirty.
00:08:57This shit doesn't impress me.
00:08:58No, Paul, it doesn't impress me either.
00:09:00I'm just trying to tell you a story.
00:09:02Now, if you quantify making it by the things you can afford, then this place is making it.
00:09:09We're sitting there on the beach, watching all these couples walk by.
00:09:15We're the youngest there by like two decades.
00:09:18I mean, everyone's in their seventies, eighties.
00:09:21Barely waddle across the sand.
00:09:25All covered up in their big hats and their long-sleeved shirts.
00:09:28They'd made it.
00:09:31But their bodies are too old to enjoy it.
00:09:35We were halfway around the world and they were too old or crippled.
00:09:40Swim in the water, run in the sand, make love, none of it.
00:09:43They finally made it.
00:09:46They were all too old to create a single memory.
00:09:51And they knew it.
00:09:54It was on every one of their faces.
00:09:58Saw them at the restaurant.
00:09:59Same thing, not a smile among them.
00:10:02Because they knew.
00:10:06They'd worked their whole lives for that moment.
00:10:10The moment had already passed them by.
00:10:15That's why I'm here.
00:10:18That's why I quit.
00:10:20I make a memory a day, brother.
00:10:23Sometimes more.
00:10:26But make them for who, huh?
00:10:30No kids?
00:10:32No, no wife?
00:10:33You, you, you got nobody to share it with, Paul.
00:10:36I'm sharing it with you right now.
00:10:38Once a year, you share it with me.
00:10:39Then you should come more often.
00:10:40At least, you got a girlfriend.
00:10:43Not on your life.
00:10:45How about a dog?
00:10:47They're needier than girlfriends.
00:10:49Maybe a goldfish, then.
00:10:51Maybe.
00:10:53You'd probably try to kill it with one of your giant hook streamers.
00:11:03True.
00:11:25Abby, how was your day?
00:11:26Laser resurfacing is the most effective.
00:11:28Doesn't that make your skin shiny like forever?
00:11:30I still haven't seen it.
00:11:31You're never seeing it.
00:11:32It looks like a bloody zipper.
00:11:33I wish I had been there.
00:11:34What, so he could have hit you too?
00:11:36Oh, you would have gotten a shot stabbed or worse.
00:11:38What's worse than getting shot?
00:11:39I don't know, but that's what would have happened.
00:11:41Being set on fire is worse.
00:11:42Girls, please.
00:11:43And the police, they just kept asking,
00:11:45what was his race?
00:11:46Like, that has anything to do with it?
00:11:47I mean, it's pretty important information
00:11:49when you're trying to find somebody.
00:11:50Whoa.
00:11:52That's so racist.
00:11:58Where are you going?
00:11:59It's your father.
00:12:01So, where are you going?
00:12:02It is rude to talk on the phone in a restaurant.
00:12:05It is also rude to play on your phone in a restaurant
00:12:08and surf the internet.
00:12:10Basically, what all of you are doing right now
00:12:12is rude.
00:12:13Rude to who?
00:12:15It's rude to me.
00:12:16It's rude to each other.
00:12:17It's rude to the staff.
00:12:18Just fucking rude.
00:12:19It's rude to me.
00:12:25It's so bright there.
00:12:27What time is it?
00:12:28Seven.
00:12:30Full moon.
00:12:32Wow.
00:12:33Look at those stars.
00:12:36My view's better.
00:12:37Well, until your brother gets indoor plumbing,
00:12:40I'll have to take your word for it.
00:12:41There's plumbing of sorts.
00:12:44Got a sink.
00:12:45Got a shower now.
00:12:46Well, until the outhouse moves indoors,
00:12:49then I'll have to rely on pictures.
00:12:52You feel rested?
00:12:53What time do you land tomorrow?
00:12:55Okay.
00:12:56Going to have to push it back a day, honey,
00:12:58because Paul has something very, very special planned for tomorrow.
00:13:02It's a stretch of river that can only be reached by pack horse.
00:13:05It takes like a week.
00:13:07Paul has permission to fly us into it.
00:13:09Honey, this is like, well, it's virgin water.
00:13:12Oh, now there's virgins involved.
00:13:16Nobody fishes this stretch, honey.
00:13:18Nobody.
00:13:18Maybe a dozen people a year, if that.
00:13:22Hey, um, some bad news.
00:13:24Uh, Paige got mugged today down in the village.
00:13:28What?
00:13:29Mugged?
00:13:30Is she okay?
00:13:31Yeah, she just, you know,
00:13:32she got a pretty good shiner and a decent cut.
00:13:35The doctor saw her six ditches.
00:13:37God damn it.
00:13:38I cannot come up with one plausible reason why we still live in that city.
00:13:43Well, I'll give you two.
00:13:45Our children.
00:13:47Two more.
00:13:47Our grandchildren.
00:13:48My parents.
00:13:49Make her use the car, honey.
00:13:51That's what it's for.
00:13:53She thinks it's a garish display of wealth.
00:13:55Yeah, well, if my money's so offensive,
00:13:57maybe we should stop giving it to her.
00:13:59Oh, honey.
00:13:59No, serious.
00:14:00Sell her apartment and put her up in a house in Great Neck
00:14:03or she takes the fucking car.
00:14:05Oh, my God.
00:14:05I knew you were going to do this.
00:14:07What am I doing?
00:14:08Okay, let's,
00:14:09this problem will be right here when you get back.
00:14:11Let's deal with it then.
00:14:13All right.
00:14:14She's okay, though, huh?
00:14:15Yes.
00:14:16In the meantime,
00:14:17enjoy your mountains.
00:14:18Enjoy your brother.
00:14:20Enjoy the hole in the ground.
00:14:21He thinks it's a toilet.
00:14:23And I'll see you Monday.
00:14:25Monday.
00:14:26I love you, honey.
00:14:28Love you.
00:14:47So, Russell,
00:14:48anything interesting happen in your world today
00:14:50besides your wife getting mugged?
00:14:56Yeah, we're investing in a Dutch cargo ship venture.
00:15:02Some of these larger vessels,
00:15:03they carry over 25,000 containers,
00:15:06like 2,000 in change per container.
00:15:08That's over 50 million a load in freight.
00:15:10You have crew fees and docking fees,
00:15:13fuel by far being the largest expense.
00:15:15So,
00:15:16no,
00:15:17nothing interesting happened.
00:15:19Excuse me,
00:15:21um,
00:15:21can I order a martini,
00:15:22gin,
00:15:23three olives?
00:15:28What's wrong with you?
00:15:30I was the one that got punched.
00:15:50I was the one that got punched.
00:16:06Let's go.
00:16:11Press.
00:16:11Yeah.
00:16:12You might want to grab your rod.
00:16:13Oh, shit.
00:16:14Christ.
00:16:19The way you talk about this place,
00:16:20I thought I'd only need my net,
00:16:22so.
00:16:46I thought I'd only need my net worth it.
00:16:56Hey.
00:16:58That is the hatching.
00:17:22That is the hatching.
00:17:35What?
00:17:37I thought I'd only need my net worth it.
00:17:42Oh.
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:46Oh.
00:17:47Oh.
00:18:00It's going to be one of those days, brother.
00:18:02Yes, I can use one.
00:18:41Did that worry you at all?
00:18:46We're not going that way.
00:18:48That storm sure looks like it's coming this way.
00:18:51There isn't any weather on the radar this morning.
00:18:53Well, there's weather there now, Paul.
00:18:55Storms go over the mountains every afternoon.
00:18:58But we're going that way.
00:19:03We can leave now if you want.
00:19:06We don't ever want to leave.
00:19:30I can't do it any better than that.
00:20:00No!
00:20:00No!
00:20:01No!
00:20:03I just thought there was a monster!
00:20:06We should go.
00:20:28What do you think?
00:20:36What's this telling you here?
00:20:37I'm just going to take my way through it.
00:20:39It's going to be a little bumpy over the mountains.
00:20:41Yeah.
00:20:41Yeah.
00:21:11I'm just waiting for you.
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:39I'm going to be a little scared for you.
00:21:41Oh, Jesus.
00:22:05Yep.
00:22:18Big Sky approach.
00:22:19This is Cessna 185 Bravo Zulu.
00:22:21I need a swap.
00:22:22Copy that.
00:22:23Two Bravo speed and altitude.
00:22:24130 knots at 8200.
00:22:27Meet teams at web setting 5 to 11,000.
00:22:29Copy that.
00:22:3011,000.
00:22:30Thank you, tower.
00:22:32Get up over this.
00:22:45Jesus, fuck.
00:22:49Wait.
00:22:52Stacy!
00:22:53Wait, where was she?
00:22:54Five blocks from here.
00:22:56Middle of the day.
00:23:00Politicians in this city have guilted us into chaos.
00:23:03Michael wants us to move to Connecticut.
00:23:04We're just staying in the Hamptons year-round.
00:23:07I'm running out of excuses.
00:23:08The kids are gone.
00:23:09You can work from anywhere these days.
00:23:11Well, why don't you?
00:23:13Because our marriage wouldn't last a month.
00:23:14Oh, stop it.
00:23:16I'd have to learn how to cook for one.
00:23:18Oh, God forbid.
00:23:19Yeah.
00:23:19And what in the world would we talk about?
00:23:22Well, if our friends are here, the ones that haven't moved to Florida.
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:26Hmm.
00:23:27This is my city.
00:23:29It has gone to hell before.
00:23:30It will come back.
00:23:31It always does.
00:23:32Now you, on the other hand, how you keep your mountain man in Manhattan.
00:23:37And that is a trick that you must show me.
00:23:39Our daughters is the trick.
00:23:41He would never leave them.
00:23:43And he will never get the girls to leave.
00:23:46So, no, he just, as long as he gets his little escapes.
00:23:50But you have to wonder why we choose to live in a place we need to escape.
00:23:53Because there's no stock exchange in Telluride, my dear.
00:23:56Whenever I see Michael looking at properties online, I just, I just remind him how far that
00:24:00is from Yankee Stadium, and that usually does it.
00:24:04You'd have to stock the Hudson with trout to entice mine.
00:24:08Just mind a little cabin in the Catskills.
00:24:10I think they invented fly fishing there.
00:24:12It's just three hours away.
00:24:14He can go there whenever he wants.
00:24:15It's easier to get there than the Hamptons.
00:24:18You realize all we ever talk about is leaving.
00:24:20It's all anyone talks about.
00:24:21Well, of course we do.
00:24:22We're New Yorkers.
00:24:23What else are we going to talk about?
00:24:24We can't complain about our city.
00:24:29Hmm.
00:24:30Hmm.
00:24:31Do we know anyone in Idaho?
00:24:32The Greenbergs have a house in Sun Valley.
00:24:35You know, Preston didn't call me last night.
00:24:37I'm just going to...
00:24:38Oh.
00:24:40Hello?
00:24:42Is this Mrs. Clyburn?
00:24:44It is.
00:24:46Who's this?
00:24:47I'm Officer Shepard with the U.S. Department of Forestry.
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:54Is your husband Preston Clyburn?
00:24:59Yes?
00:25:02Ma'am, your husband was involved in a plane crash on a mountain called Bora Peak.
00:25:09Can I...
00:25:10Is...
00:25:11Can I speak to him?
00:25:12Is he all right?
00:25:14No, ma'am.
00:25:17I'm sorry to say both he and Paul Clyburn did not survive the crash.
00:25:22Stacy?
00:25:25Oh, ma'am.
00:25:28What do I do?
00:25:29What do we do?
00:25:30Well, ma'am, we'd like you to come here and identify the bodies.
00:25:33Help arrange transport to wherever you choose as their resting place.
00:25:37Hey, this is Stacy's friend.
00:25:38What's happened?
00:25:46Let me get down.
00:25:47Let me get down.
00:25:53Idaho Falls.
00:25:54Is there an airport?
00:25:58Okay.
00:25:59Oh, ma'am.
00:26:01What do we do?
00:26:02I'm...
00:26:02No.
00:26:03I just...
00:26:03Just...
00:26:04Just...
00:26:04Just let me...
00:26:06Just let me...
00:26:24Just let me...
00:26:40I'll get the car.
00:26:46Mom, they just think it's him.
00:26:49They don't know.
00:26:51Paige.
00:26:51What?
00:26:52They don't.
00:26:54They look like pilgrims.
00:26:56Where are we?
00:27:00Hey.
00:27:02I texted and I left a message.
00:27:05This is a little more important than school, don't you think?
00:27:08I can't include you in decisions when you do not respond.
00:27:12I will tell you why.
00:27:13Because he is my fucking father and they are my children.
00:27:15When people talk about life-altering events, they are talking about this.
00:27:19Then get on a plane and come get him.
00:27:22Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:27:52Would you like to check in at the hotel?
00:27:54Deal with the rest of the morning?
00:27:57Take me to the coroner.
00:27:59I want to get this over with.
00:28:05Would you like some music?
00:28:06I would not.
00:28:07Okay.
00:28:21Do we all go in?
00:28:22I don't know.
00:28:24Let me get the lay of the land.
00:28:38Ma'am, we're very sorry for your loss.
00:28:42Did you walk me through this?
00:28:44You knew the brother as well?
00:28:45I did.
00:28:45The state requires that remains be positively identified by a relative or close friend.
00:28:51Someone with enough familiarity to make visual recognition.
00:28:54Won't take long.
00:29:16Bye-bye.
00:29:17Bye-bye.
00:29:17Bye-bye.
00:29:18Bye-bye.
00:29:31there's no other way
00:29:34clearly you know who it is or you wouldn't have known to contact me
00:29:38we found a phone ma'am that does not positively identify a body
00:29:42but why else would he have the phone
00:29:46I don't make the laws ma'am but I do have to enforce
00:29:51you're gonna force me
00:29:57before he left he kissed me
00:30:03and he smiled and that is the last image of him in my mind
00:30:06if I go in there and see what happened to him
00:30:13that is the last image in my mind
00:30:19forever
00:30:24I'll do it mom
00:30:25no
00:30:27no you won't
00:30:56we just
00:30:59we don't know
00:31:00we don't know
00:31:18well
00:31:19Oh!
00:31:55What's wrong with fingerprints?
00:31:57How dare you?
00:32:12Show me what you showed her.
00:32:40He had a will?
00:32:42Yes.
00:32:43Life insurance?
00:32:44Yes.
00:32:45I hate to ask these things, but...
00:32:47We're taken care of.
00:32:49What about a funeral?
00:32:50I don't know.
00:32:54The ranch?
00:32:56Maybe?
00:32:57I guess I'll take care of his brother as well.
00:32:59He doesn't have anyone.
00:33:01Then you'll never be able to visit him, Stacy.
00:33:04I'll close my eyes when I want to visit him.
00:33:06What are you going to do with this cabin?
00:33:08It's not my cabin.
00:33:09It's your cabin now.
00:33:11And if you sell it, then you can't visit him anywhere.
00:33:14Think about that.
00:33:14Bring him home.
00:33:15This is too much.
00:33:16There's too many decisions for my day.
00:33:17Take a sleeping pill.
00:33:18I plan to.
00:33:19I'll call you tomorrow.
00:33:20Okay.
00:33:49I'll call you tomorrow.
00:33:53I'll call you someone.
00:33:55You can't see that.
00:33:55I'll call you tomorrow.
00:33:55I'll call you a fresh rush.
00:34:01Oh, that's the place of family.
00:34:08You know, you know.
00:34:09I'll call you a fresh rush.
00:34:10Oh, my God.
00:34:10Oh, my God.
00:34:13Oh.
00:34:13Oh, my God.
00:34:15Oh, my God.
00:34:16I hope so.
00:34:21Girls, can you ninja up some Netflix on the TV?
00:34:25For you?
00:34:27Oh, God bless you.
00:34:30Nothing teaches you to sell Medicaid like a good divorce.
00:34:34What do you want, Grandma?
00:34:36A comedy.
00:34:39Well, A River Runs Through It.
00:34:41It was Grandpa's favorite movie.
00:34:46A river may run through it, but I've never actually gotten through it.
00:34:50So, in honor of him.
00:34:55We've come to the right place.
00:34:58Uh, pizza. Can you find some?
00:35:01Pizza?
00:35:02Yeah, and ice cream.
00:35:04What flavors?
00:35:05Dazzle's with options.
00:35:07Done.
00:35:08Thanks, Russ.
00:35:11Is it going to be sad?
00:35:14Oh, it's about fish.
00:35:16How sad could it be?
00:35:29I am hot in my wish.
00:35:32Thanks, Mom.
00:35:33I sure feel better now.
00:35:35Jesus.
00:35:36It made your father cry, too.
00:35:38Every time, like a big baby.
00:35:41Baby.
00:35:43Oh, that and, uh, Rudy.
00:35:46Only men can cry over.
00:35:48Fishing and football.
00:35:50God, for life to be that simple.
00:35:54You know,
00:35:56in 39 years of marriage,
00:35:59we never fought.
00:36:01Not once.
00:36:04I mean, we, we, we, we danced right to the end,
00:36:08but we both knew how, how precious and how rare what we had was.
00:36:18I should be happy that he died out here doing something that he loves,
00:36:25not tethered to some hospital bed like most men are waiting to die.
00:36:36He died living,
00:36:39not existing.
00:36:42How many could say that?
00:36:45I hope you find what we had someday, honey.
00:36:48I really, really do.
00:36:49I hope you meet a man that's worth missing.
00:36:54I just, like, want to return my call now, come on.
00:36:58We gotta work on your standards.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:25Do you guys have service?
00:37:30Are we close?
00:37:31I don't know.
00:37:32Never been there before.
00:37:33We're close, I think.
00:37:50I guess this is it.
00:37:52This is it?
00:37:53This is what the map says.
00:37:55Stop.
00:37:56Stop.
00:38:14I've seen that photo.
00:38:18Okay.
00:38:36Oh.
00:38:50Oh.
00:38:53Oh.
00:38:54Oh.
00:38:56Oh.
00:38:57Oh.
00:38:58Oh.
00:39:04Would we be worried about bears?
00:39:06Perhaps they never mention bears.
00:39:55So, let's go.
00:40:00It's very weird. There's a sink and a shower, but no toilet.
00:40:04Toilets are outside.
00:40:06Outside?
00:40:07There's no septic system. The cabins are too close to the river.
00:40:10And that's why we never visited.
00:40:12I have absolutely no idea how you would get this furniture up here.
00:40:19Where are you going?
00:40:21I want to find Preston's cabin.
00:40:23Well, take this. Be careful.
00:40:27What's that?
00:40:28Bears, Frank.
00:40:29You said no bears.
00:40:30I said he never mentioned bears.
00:40:40I said no bears.
00:43:22How do you make coffee?
00:43:23I thought you said you didn't have electricity.
00:43:25No, it's electricity.
00:43:27Just no outlets.
00:43:28We've got a light over the porch and light over the table.
00:43:33Huh.
00:43:34You didn't answer my question.
00:43:36Well, I build a fire in the stove and fill the pot from the river, pour the coffee in
00:43:42the pot, boil the water, and there you go.
00:43:47You can taste the smoke, Stacy.
00:43:50It's the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.
00:43:55Oh, honey.
00:43:56I think you are romanticizing this to the point of physical impossibility.
00:44:01Maybe you should just wash the pot.
00:44:03Well, technically, it's a percolator.
00:44:06Ah.
00:44:06And if you'll ever come here, I'll make you a cup.
00:44:10Best you'll ever have.
00:44:11If you really wanted me to come there, you and your brother would build a bathroom.
00:44:15It has a bathroom.
00:44:17Inside the house.
00:44:18God, you're spoiled.
00:44:21Conveniences have become your necessities.
00:44:24We went camping once a long time ago.
00:44:27Or have you managed to block that out?
00:44:29No, no, no, no.
00:44:30That was not camping.
00:44:32That was an excuse to get you in a tent.
00:44:34I had planned nothing past the sex.
00:44:37Well, you married a city mouse, honey.
00:44:41City mice stay in the city.
00:44:44You need to see it, Stacy.
00:44:47Just once.
00:44:49I do.
00:44:50I do see it.
00:44:51Every time you send a picture of you and some traumatized trout.
00:44:55It's not the same.
00:44:57Oh.
00:45:05It's not the same.
00:45:06It's not the same.
00:45:07It's not the same.
00:45:08It's not the same.

00:45:14It's not the same.
00:45:15It's not the same.
00:45:15It's not the same.
00:45:16It's not the same.
00:45:16It's not the same.
00:45:17It's not the same.
00:45:19It's not the same.
00:45:20It's not the same.
00:45:21It's not the same.
00:45:25It's not the same.

00:55:35no no not a deer
00:55:36the big deer
00:55:37no it's a different species
00:55:38it's kind of like grits and polenta according to your logic
00:55:42it has big horns
00:55:43and hooves
00:55:44and it was roaming around freely
00:55:46until your brother-in-law shot it
00:55:48that's what i'm eating
00:55:49i'm not sure that they have hooves
00:55:51did you know
00:55:53you knew i can fucking tell
00:55:55you knew and you cooked it
00:55:56and you're just gonna let me eat it
00:55:57i think it's really good
00:56:00mom
00:56:01what do you think is gonna happen to all the food in this house page
00:56:04it's gonna get eaten or it's gonna rocked
00:56:07i didn't kill the thing
00:56:08your uncle will never kill another one
00:56:10i suppose we could throw it all away
00:56:12and then it's nourishing some raccoon or worms or
00:56:16i guess
00:56:18or it can nourish us
00:56:19which is what it's doing
00:56:23when's the last time you cooked a meal page
00:56:25not reheated one not microwaved one
00:56:27we picked that from a garden
00:56:29your uncle took that from somewhere around here
00:56:31the cornmeal is in a jar
00:56:34did he make that maybe
00:56:36everything we ate
00:56:37came from this
00:56:40this little world that your father adored
00:56:43we made a meal from this place together
00:56:47i think it's beautiful
00:56:49i think it's perfect
00:56:51and i know your father would too
00:56:56i wonder who has to die for us to make another meal together
00:57:02good night
00:57:03Let's go.
00:57:48I wonder if that stuff works.
00:57:51I guess, so long as the wound is at your back.
00:57:55Good point.
00:58:00What are you reading?
00:58:03A journal.
00:58:06Your father kept a journal here.
00:58:1125 years.
00:58:13What's it say?
00:58:15It talks about which river,
00:58:19and then it says to crack a window
00:58:22and lighting the stove in a wind,
00:58:24there's a downdraft that pushes the smoke
00:58:27back into the cabin.
00:58:28It's half diary, half how-to guide.
00:58:35Then there's this about me.
00:58:42There's a spot upriver,
00:58:49and he calls it Stacy's Valley.
00:58:52The elk don't graze there for some reason,
00:58:54so the grass grows tall and it's yellow,
00:58:57and it reminds him of my hair.
00:59:07I need to know
00:59:11these last little secrets.
00:59:15How can I say goodbye
00:59:17when there's still
00:59:20more to know?
00:59:28So tomorrow morning,
00:59:30I'm going to get up
00:59:33and I'm going to find
00:59:35this little valley.
00:59:45And then I'm going to bring
00:59:46your father here.
00:59:50And I'm going to bury him there.
00:59:54And then I'm going to take this book,
00:59:56and I'm going to visit
00:59:58every place
00:59:59he wrote about.
01:00:03And you can tell me I'm crazy,
01:00:04you can say, I need to move on.
01:00:06I have a whole life ahead of me
01:00:08and all that shit.
01:00:09I am 65 years old.
01:00:11I don't have
01:00:11a whole life ahead of me.
01:00:13I have a very small window
01:00:16to be reckless,
01:00:17to make decisions
01:00:19that feed this
01:00:20and never factor this
01:00:22into the equation.
01:00:23And that's what I'm going to do.
01:00:25I'm going to do what he
01:00:26begged me to do
01:00:27for 30 years.
01:00:30I'm going to finally see this place.
01:00:36Want some company?
01:00:42I'd love some.
01:00:46Well, then I'll see you
01:00:47in the morning.
01:00:47Okay.
01:01:21Poor choice of footwear
01:01:23in retrospect.
01:01:23Correct?
01:01:25I don't know.
01:02:05I personally, for the record, feel that we are underdressed, unarmed, and just generally unprepared for any kind of exploratory
01:02:13venture afoot.
01:02:16Afoot. I didn't know they taught the Queen's English at Brown.
01:02:19Well, they do. I mean, I didn't actually study it, but the course does exist.
01:02:23And the world is a better place for it, Russell.
01:02:29Let's go find this spot.
