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.
00:07:05I don't understand.

00:18:53Well, there's weather there now, Paul.
00:18:55Storms go over the mountains every afternoon.

00:20:44Oh, my God.

00:23:12Oh, my God.
00:23:17Oh, my God.
00:23:21Oh, my God.
00:23:48Oh, my God.
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 if we can't complain about our city?
00:24:29Hmm.
00:24:30Hmm.
00:24:30Do we know anyone?
00:24:32Do we know anyone in Idaho?
00:24:32Do we know?
00:24:33Do we know anyone in Idaho?
00:24:33The 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?
00:24:58Yes.
00:25:02Ma'am, your husband was involved in a plane crash on a mountain called Bora Peak.
00:25:09Can I, is, can I speak to him? Is 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?
00:25:30Well, 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. What's happened?
00:25:42Oh, um, let me get that.
00:25:51Um, uh, Idaho Falls. Is there an airport?
00:25:56Why?
00:25:58Okay.
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:01No, me.
00:26:02No, just, just, just, just let me.
00:26:06Oh, my God.
00:26:40I'll get the car.
00:26:47Mom, 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?
00:26:59Hey.
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...
00:27:53Check in at the hotel?
00:27:54Deal with the...
00:27:56rest in 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.
00:28:21Do 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.
00:29:31There'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.
00:29:40That 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.
00:29:47But I do have to enforce them.
00:29:51You're going to force me?
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:58Before he left, he kissed me and he smiled.
00:30:04And that is the last image of him in my mind.
00:30:08If I go in there and see what happened to him, that is the last image in my mind.
00:30:19Forever.
00:30:24I'll do it, ma'am.
00:30:25No.
00:30:26No.
00:30:27No, you won't.
00:30:30No.
00:30:52No, you won't.
00:30:56Which is which?
00:30:59We don't know.
00:31:01We don't know.
00:31:05We don't know.
00:31:10We don't know.
00:31:11Nah, we'll hear just now.
00:31:16Bye.
00:31:17Yes.
00:31:18Bye.
00:31:23Bye.
00:31:25Bye.
00:31:29Bye.
00:31:31Bye.
00:31:33Bye.
00:31:37Bye.
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.
00:33:16Too many decisions for one day.
00:33:17Take a sleeping pill.
00:33:18I plan to.
00:33:19I'll call you tomorrow.
00:33:20Okay.
00:33:44I won't.
00:33:45I won't leave you alone.
00:33:54I'll call you a little bit.
00:33:57I won't be here.
00:33:58Go.
00:33:58Go.
00:33:58Go.
00:34:05We were thinking of a slumber party.
00:34:12There's bound to be some shitty pizza in this town.
00:34:15Do you think?
00:34:17I hope so.
00:34:21Girls, can you ninja up some Netflix on the TV?
00:34:26For 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.
00:34:42It 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.
00:34:55You've come to the right place.
00:34:58Uh, pizza.
00:35:00Can you find some?
00:35:01Pizza?
00:35:02Yeah.
00:35:02Yeah.
00:35:02And ice cream.
00:35:04What flavor?
00:35:05Dazzle's with options.
00:35:07Done.
00:35:08Thanks, Russ.
00:35:11Is it going to be sad?
00:35:13Oh, it's about fishing.
00:35:16How sad could it be?
00:35:29I'm holding 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.
00:35:43Oh, that and, uh, Rudy.
00:35:46Only men can cry over fishing and football.
00:35:50God, for life to be that simple.
00:35:54You know, in 39 years of marriage, we never fought.
00:36:01Not once.
00:36:04I mean, we, we danced right to the end, but we both knew how precious and how rare what we
00:36:14had was.
00:36:18I should be happy that he died out here doing something that he loves, not tethered to some hospital bed
00:36:30like most men are waiting to die.
00:36:36He died living, not 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.
00:36:57Come on.
00:36:57We can work on your standards.
00:37:25Do you guys have service?
00:37:30Are we close?
00:37:31I don't know.
00:37:32I've never 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.
00:38:14I've seen that photo.
00:38:18Okay.
00:38:19Bye-bye.
00:38:22Bye-bye.
00:38:29Bye-bye.
00:38:34Bye-bye.
00:38:38Bye-bye.
00:38:41Bye-bye.
00:38:43Bye-bye.
00:38:43Bye-bye.
00:38:44Bye-bye.
00:38:46Bye-bye.
00:38:48Bye-bye.
00:38:49Bye-bye.
00:38:49Bye-bye.
00:38:49Bye-bye.
00:39:04Would we be worried about bears?
00:39:06Perhaps they never mention bears.
00:39:20What does it mean to bear bear bear?
00:39:26It means bear bear bear bear bear.
00:39:29I don't know.
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?
00:40:28Where's Frank?
00:40:29You said no bears.
00:40:30I said he never mentioned bears.
00:40:31I said no bears.
00:40:32I said no bears.
00:40:32I said no bears.
00:40:35I said no bears.
00:41:04I said no bears.
00:41:04I said no bears.
00:41:10I said no bears.
00:41:13I said no bears.
00:41:31I don't know.
00:42:15I'm taking a bath.
00:42:16Don't you have dinner with the girls tonight?
00:42:19No.
00:42:20Bridget has some dance, something in Chelsea of all places.
00:42:25As if there aren't 12 ballet academies nearby.
00:42:29And Paige has some work, something with Russell at that new club they wasted their money joining.
00:42:36Our money.
00:42:38They wasted our money joining it.
00:42:40I stand corrected.
00:42:42What are you doing?
00:42:44I am making coffee.
00:42:46What time is it there?
00:42:48I don't know. 5.30.
00:42:50Babe, you'll be up all night.
00:42:52Well, I try to sleep as little as possible when I'm here.
00:42:56You know, at night, the bull elk come down to the river and bugle.
00:43:01They bugle?
00:43:02They bugle.
00:43:03It's kind of a high-pitched, almost like a whistle, and it drives the lady elk crazy.
00:43:08Oh, I remember when you used to bugle.
00:43:11I can still bugle.
00:43:13Well, it's more like a trombone these days.
00:43:16But, hey, I am no spring lady elk, so trombone is just fine with me.
00:43:22How do you make coffee?
00:43:23I thought you said you didn't have electricity.
00:43:25Well, it's electricity.
00:43:27Just no outlets.
00:43:28We've got 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.
00:43:53Oh, my God.
00:43:55Oh, honey, I 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.
00:44:19God, 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.
00:44:30That was not camping.
00:44:31That 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.
00:44:56I don't know.
00:45:04It's not the same.
00:45:07It's not the same.
00:45:29Girls?
00:45:33Girls?
00:45:36Where are you going?
00:45:37We just want to check it out.
00:45:38Well, don't climb on anything.
00:45:39Watch out for snakes.
00:45:41Are there snakes?
00:45:42I don't know.
00:45:42So you probably should watch out for them.
00:45:57What in the world?
00:45:58I found a motel about an hour away.
00:46:02It does not look great.
00:46:04We could drive into Bozeman or Helena.
00:46:06Everything seems to be about two hours from everything else.
00:46:14How long do you think she wants to stay?
00:46:16I'll go find out.
00:46:23Mom?
00:46:27Mom?
00:46:31What's that?
00:46:35Coffee maker.
00:46:37It is?
00:46:39I think it's done.
00:46:40Want some?
00:46:42Why not?
00:47:00He sat here and called me.
00:47:04Right here.
00:47:08Talked about fish.
00:47:12And I'd pretend like I cared.
00:47:17He was right.
00:47:20Not the same in pictures.
00:47:25I never came with him because I thought I'd be bored.
00:47:32Or a third wheel.
00:47:34I didn't want to interrupt his man time, his brother time.
00:47:40And I thought about bringing you two out when you were younger.
00:47:43But then, it's not a vacation for him.
00:47:46It's a trip.
00:47:48And he's worried about pleasing you and not himself.
00:47:52And wow, was I wrong.
00:47:57I robbed us of this.
00:48:00I robbed him of sharing it with us.
00:48:04Please don't do that.
00:48:06Do not blame yourself for things that you didn't do.
00:48:11You had a loving marriage for 40 years in New York City.
00:48:15I mean, they should build a statue, you too.
00:48:22Miss him.
00:48:25God knows I will.
00:48:27But no blame.
00:48:30You two did it, Ray.
00:48:36It's getting late.
00:48:37We'll tell us a hike.
00:48:38We can come back in the morning.
00:48:44I'm going to stay here.
00:48:47Hmm.
00:48:48It's right.
00:48:49You can taste the smoke.
00:49:09She's just going to stay?
00:49:10And do what?
00:49:11There's not even a bathroom here.
00:49:13Oh, I found one.
00:49:14It's outside.
00:49:15Spartan.
00:49:17What does Spartan mean?
00:49:18Rustic.
00:49:19Yeah.
00:49:20There's like a hornet's nest inside the hole.
00:49:23It adds a certain degree of difficulty.
00:49:25She can't stay here.
00:49:27Okay?
00:49:28It's selfish.
00:49:29She's acting like she's the only one who lost somebody.
00:49:32He was my father.
00:49:33I can't dare her.
00:49:35She has been with him since she was 19.
00:49:38I've been with him since I was born.
00:49:39So were you.
00:49:40We were not with him.
00:49:41He was present when we needed something.
00:49:45When we needed a chauffeur or a cheerleader, a therapist, a bank.
00:49:50You want to mourn something?
00:49:52Why don't we mourn the time that we didn't give him?
00:49:54He was her lover and her best friend.
00:49:57It is not the same thing.
00:49:59You lost the idea of him, Paige.
00:50:01Which you can still have.
00:50:03Girls, go back outside now.
00:50:04We can hear you yelling.
00:50:29Oh, God bless your uncle.
00:50:34Hey, did I see a garden somewhere?
00:50:37By the barn.
00:50:38What's in it?
00:50:40We didn't check.
00:50:41Let's check.
00:50:49I'd say you nailed it.
00:50:52With me.
00:50:54But if that's all he was to you two,
00:50:59what a shame, girls.
00:51:10Kale and Swiss chard.
00:51:13I think these are scallions.
00:51:15Oh, this time.
00:51:17This.
00:51:19Will come in handy.
00:51:21Nice, right?
00:51:22Strawberries.
00:51:24Wow.
00:51:25Wait, you can just grow them?
00:51:27Apparently.
00:51:28I thought they just came from farms.
00:51:31Well, that's what this is.
00:51:32It's an itty-bitty farm.
00:51:34I think this is spinach.
00:51:38What's this?
00:51:41Oh, shit.
00:51:42That's a snake.
00:51:43Are we okay?
00:51:45We're okay.
00:51:47It's okay.
00:51:47He's more scared of you than you are of him.
00:51:49Okay, let's just go over here.
00:52:08Go!
00:52:12Okay.
00:52:13All right.
00:52:15Lesson learned.
00:52:16And less is more with this stuff.
00:52:30When was the last time you saw one of those girls?
00:52:33One of what?
00:52:36Sunset.
00:52:39Can't remember?
00:52:41No, me neither.
00:52:46There must be a nice grocery store around here because Paul has every cheese on the planet.
00:52:50I sent a package. Your father likes to rough it, but he doesn't like to starve.
00:52:54Somebody grate the parmesan?
00:52:56Oh, we got it here.
00:53:03What are you making?
00:53:04Polenta.
00:53:05How are you making polenta?
00:53:08You just oiled cornmeal, honey.
00:53:10I don't think polenta has corn in it.
00:53:12That's all polenta has. Just corn and liquid and cheese?
00:53:16I think that's grits.
00:53:18Yes.
00:53:18Grits and polenta are the same thing.
00:53:21Mother, they make grits in Alabama. You're telling me it's the same thing as the dish from Italy?
00:53:26It's the exact same thing. Just finish it with different toppings.
00:53:30If it has different ingredients, it's a different dish.
00:53:32Somebody pour me some wine.
00:53:33Like they're making the same thing in Birmingham that they're making in Florence?
00:53:37With different cheese. That's the only difference.
00:53:39Okay, I'm not gonna argue with you because you're in mourning.
00:53:43But the time will come where I will tell you how wrong you are.
00:53:52Oh, that looks great.
00:53:56Yeah, um...
00:53:57I don't think this is beef.
00:54:00What? It's beef.
00:54:01Yeah, it didn't cook like beef. It doesn't smell like...
00:54:04Look at me. It's beef. Okay? For tonight. It's beef.
00:54:09Okay.
00:54:11Um...
00:54:11What is it, really?
00:54:15It said elk.
00:54:17The world doesn't need to know that.
00:54:19Why?
00:54:20Do you think the world would revolt?
00:54:24How do you think your wife would revolt?
00:54:27Um...
00:54:27Yeah, not good.
00:54:30Multiply that by four.
00:54:31Okay, so should I slice it?
00:54:33No, I think you should just do whatever you think will make it look more like beef.
00:54:40Can I have more of the steak?
00:54:43You better, honey.
00:54:44Me too, please. You're a really good cook.
00:54:47Thanks.
00:54:48Steak's really good, honey.
00:54:54Do you girls want more grits?
00:54:56It's not grits. It's polenta.
00:54:57You and I can agree to disagree, but I'm not lying to my children.
00:55:00They're my children.
00:55:02They're my nieces.
00:55:03You know what I mean? They're basically my children.
00:55:05They're not even kind of your children, but if you want them to be your children,
00:55:09you can get them to dance on Tuesday and Thursday,
00:55:12and then take them to fucking paramezate in the morning for gymnastics.
00:55:15Fine.
00:55:16The children. I'm not lying to the children.
00:55:19I don't see why not. I'm lying to mine.
00:55:22Are you enjoying the elk, Paige?
00:55:25The what?
00:55:27It's elk.
00:55:33Elk.
00:55:34Like the deer?
00:55:35No, no. Not a deer.
00:55:36The big deer.
00:55:37No, it's a different species. It's kind of like grits and polenta, according to your logic.
00:55:42It has big horns and hooves, and it was roaming around freely until 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, and you're just going to let me eat it?
00:55:58I think it's really good.
00:56:00Mom, what do you think is going to happen to all the food in this house, Paige?
00:56:04It's going to get eaten, or it's going to rot.
00:56:07I didn't kill the thing. Your uncle will never kill another one.
00:56:10I suppose we could throw it all away, and then it's nourishing some raccoon or worms, or...
00:56:16I guess.
00:56:18Or it can nourish us, which is what it's doing.
00:56:23When was the last time you cooked a meal, Paige? Not reheated one, not microwaved one.
00:56:28We picked that from a garden. Your uncle took that from somewhere around here.
00:56:32The cornmeal is in a jar. Did he make that? Maybe.
00:56:36Everything we ate came from this little world that your father adored.
00:56:43We made a meal from this place together.
00:56:47I think it's beautiful. I 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.
00:57:02I don't know. Good night.
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, um, rich river,
00:58:19and then it says to crack a window and lighting the stove in a wind,
00:58:24there's a downdraft that pushes the smoke back into the cabin.
00:58:28It's half diary, half how-to guide.
00:58:35Then there's this.
00:58:39About me.
00:58:41There's a, um, spot up river.
00:58:49And he calls it Stacy's Valley.
00:58:52The elk don't graze it for some reason, so the grass grows tall and it's yellow and it reminds him
00:58:58of my hair.
00:59:07I-I need to know these last little secrets.
00:59:15How can I say goodbye when there's still more to know?
00:59:28So tomorrow morning, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna find this little valley.
00:59:45And then I'm gonna bring your father here.
00:59:50And I'm gonna bury him there.
00:59:53And then I'm gonna take this book and I'm gonna visit every place he wrote about.
