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.
00:06:48I know.
00:06:53I know.
00:06:57I know.
00:06:59I know.
00:07:01I know.
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
00:07:23And we can use their strip
00:07:29Happy birthday
00:07:47Baby, baby, soft, soft
00:08:22Sixty-four
00:08:29Astonishing where the time goes
00:08:32I wonder, what do I have
00:08:34Maybe ten, fifteen years
00:08:36Before I'm too old to do
00:08:38Anything more than just remember
00:08:48What took Stacy and the kids to this resort in the Caribbean
00:08:53Rooms are ten grand a night
00:08:55Villas 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
00:09:05By the things you can afford
00:09:07Then this place is making it
00:09:08Yeah
00:09:09We're sitting there on the beach
00:09:11Watching all these couples walk by
00:09:15We're the youngest there by like two decades
00:09:17I mean, everyone's in their seventies, eighties
00:09:21Barely waddle across the sand
00:09:25All covered up in their big hats
00:09:26And their long-sleeved shirts
00:09:28They'd made it
00:09:31But their bodies were too old to enjoy it
00:09:35We were halfway around the world
00:09:36And they were too old or crippled
00:09:40Swim in the water, run in the sand, make love
00:09:42None 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
00:10:03Because 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
00:10:25But
00:10:26Make them for who, huh?
00:10:30No kids
00:10:31No
00:10:33No wife
00:10:33You 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
00:10:41At least you got a girlfriend
00:10:43Not on your life
00:10:45How about a dog?
00:10:47They're needier than girlfriends
00:10:48Maybe a goldfish then
00:10:52Maybe
00:10:53He'd probably try to kill it
00:10:55With one of your giant hooked 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
00:11:34Wait, 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 when you're trying to find somebody
00:11:50Whoa
00:11:51That's so racist
00:11:58Where are you going?
00:11:59It's your father
00:12:00So, 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 and surf the internet
00:12:09Basically, what all of you are doing right now is rude
00:12:13Rude to who?
00:12:15It's rude to me
00:12:16It's rude to each other
00:12:16It's rude to the staff
00:12:18Just fucking rude
00:12:25It's so bright there
00:12:27What time is it?
00:12:29Seven
00:12:30Full moon
00:12:32Wow
00:12:32Look at those stars
00:12:36My view is better
00:12:37Well, until your brother gets indoor plumbing, I'll have to take your word for it
00:12:41Well, there's plumbing of sorts
00:12:43Got a sink
00:12:44Got a shower now
00:12:46Well, until the outhouse moves indoors, then I'll have to rely on pictures
00:12:52You feel rested?
00:12:54What time do you land tomorrow?
00:12:55Okay, gonna have to push it back a day, honey
00:12:58Because Paul has something very, very special planned for tomorrow
00:13:01Mm-hmm
00:13:02It's a stretch of river that can only be reached by pack horse
00:13:05Takes like a week
00:13:06Paul 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
00:13:15Nobody fishes this stretch, honey
00:13:17Nobody
00:13:18Maybe a dozen people a year, if that
00:13:21Hey, um, some bad news
00:13:25Paige 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, she got a pretty good shiner
00:13:34And 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
00:13:46Two 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, maybe we should stop giving it to her
00:13:59Oh, honey
00:13:59Oh, serious
00:14:00Sell her apartment and put her up in a house in Great Neck or she takes the fucking car
00:14:05Oh, my God, I knew you were going to do this
00:14:06What 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
00:14:15In the meantime
00:14:17Enjoy your mountains
00:14:18Enjoy your brother
00:14:19Enjoy the hole in the ground
00:14:21He thinks it's a toilet
00:14:22And I'll see you Monday
00:14:25Monday
00:14:26I love you, honey
00:14:28Love you
00:14:47So, Russell, anything interesting happen in your world today
00:14:50Besides your wife getting mugged?
00:14:54Uh, uh, yep, we're, uh
00:14:57Uh, what, we're, uh, we're investing in a Dutch cargo ship venture?
00:15:02I mean, some of these larger vessels, they, uh, 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
00:15:10I mean, you have crew fees and docking fees
00:15:12Fuel by far being the largest expense
00:15:15So
00:15:16No
00:15:16Nothing interesting happened
00:15:19Excuse me, um
00:15:21Can I order a martini, gin, three olives?
00:15:24Thank you
00:15:28What's wrong with you?
00:15:30I was the one that got punched
00:15:31Thank you
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, I thought I'd only need my net, so.
00:16:56Hey, that is the hatching.
00:17:00Let's go.
00:17:34Let's go.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:42Oh.
00:18:00It's gonna be one of those days brother, I can use one
00:18:42Does that worry you at all?
00:18:46We aren't going that way, cause that 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
00:19:30Can't do it any better than that
00:20:00No! No! No! No!
00:20:01No!
00:20:02Ah!
00:20:03I just tried there was a monster!
00:20:06We should go
00:20:17What do you think?
00:20:36What's this telling you here?
00:20:37I'm just gonna take my way through it
00:20:39It's gonna be a little bumpy over the mountains
00:20:41Yeah
00:20:41Yeah
00:20:43Yeah
00:20:51Yeah
00:20:53That's a good idea
00:20:54Yeah
00:20:56Yeah
00:20:56Yeah
00:20:58Yeah
00:21:00Yeah
00:21:05Yeah
00:21:08Yeah
00:21:10Yeah
00:21:10Yeah
00:21:12I don't know.
00:22:03I don't know.
00:22:12I don't know.
00:22:18Big Sky approach.
00:22:19This is Cessna 185 Bravo Zulu.
00:22:21I need a swap.
00:22:22Copy that to Bravo.
00:22:23Speed and altitude.
00:22:24130 knots at 8200.
00:22:27Meet teams at web setting.
00:22:28Climb 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.
00:23:05We're just staying in the Hamptons year-round.
00:23:07I'm running out of excuses.
00:23:08The kids are gone.
00:23:10We 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?
00:23:22All of our friends are here.
00:23:23The ones that haven't moved to Florida.
00:23:27This is my city.
00:23:28It has gone to hell before.
00:23:30It will come back.
00:23:31It always does.
00:23:32Now you, on the other hand,
00:23:34how you keep your mountain man in Manhattan.
00:23:37That 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,
00:23:48as long as he gets his little escapes.
00:23:50But you have to wonder
00:23:51why 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,
00:23:58I just remind him how far that is from Yankee Stadium.
00:24:02And 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
00:24:24if we 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?
00:24:41Is this Mrs. Clyburn?
00:24:44It is.
00:24:45Who'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
00:25:04on 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
00:25:19did not survive the crash.
00:25:22Stacy?
00:25:23Stacy?
00:25:25Oh, ma'am.
00:25:28What do I do?
00:25:29What do we...
00:25:30Well, ma'am,
00:25:31we'd like you to come here
00:25:32and identify the bodies.
00:25:33Help arrange transport
00:25:34to wherever you choose
00:25:35as their resting place.
00:25:37Hey, this is Stacy's friend.
00:25:38What's happened?
00:25:42Oh.
00:25:43Uh.
00:25:44Uh.
00:25:46Let me get done.
00:25:48Uh.
00:25:53Idaho Falls.
00:25:55Is there an airport?
00:25:56For...
00:25:56Okay.
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:00Let me...
00:26:02No.
00:26:02Just let me...
00:26:08Oh.
00:26:12Okay.
00:26:40I'll get the car.
00:26:47Mom, they just think it's him.
00:26:49They don't know.
00:26:50Paige.
00:26:51What?
00:26:52They don't.
00:26:54They look like pilgrims.
00:26:56Where are we?
00:27:01Hey, I 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.
00:27:11I 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.
00:27:23Uh-oh.
00:27:27Uh-oh.
00:27:52Would you like to check in at the hotel, deal with the rest 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.
00:28:18I 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.
00:28:39Ma'am.
00:28:39We're very sorry for your loss.
00:28:42Did you walk me through this?
00:28:44Did 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.
00:28:56No!
00:29:12I have been to go.
00:29:1314 years later Hour Four, in the floor four, in the house.
00:29:16I'm your worker.
00:29:16No!
00:29:25I have to stay alone, and I have to stay alone or my eyes in my life, because if that's
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
00:30:01and 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

00:31:45I don't know.
00:31:55What's wrong with fingerprints? How 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.
00:33:13Think about that. Bring him home.
00:33:15This is too much. Too 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.
00:33:52Oh, my God.
00:33:54My God, my God.
00:34:05We were thinking of slumber party.
00:34:08Funny.
00:34:12It's bound to be some shitty pizza in this town.
00:34:15Are you safe?
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.
00:34:49So, in honor of him.
00:34:55We've come to the right place.
00:34:59Pizza, can you find some?
00:35:01Pizza?
00:35:02Yeah, and ice cream.
00:35:04What flavor?
00:35:05Dazzle's with options.
00:35:07Done.
00:35:08Thanks, sir.
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 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.
00:35:43Oh, that and 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 danced right to the end, but we both knew how precious and how rare what we had
00:36:14was.
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, come on.
00:36:58We can work on your standards.
00:37:13Do you guys have service?
00:37:14Do 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 nap says.
00:37:55Stop.
00:38:14I've seen that photo.
00:38:18Okay.
00:38:22This is it.
00:38:34This is it.
00:39:04Would we be worried about bears?
00:39:06Perhaps they never mention bears.
00:40:00It's very weird.
00:40:01There's a sink and a shower, but no toilet.
00:40:04Toilets are outside.
00:40:06Outside?
00:40:07There's no septic system.
00:40:08The cabins are too close to the river.
00:40:10That'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.
00:40:24Be careful.
00:40:27Uh, what's that?
00:40:28Bears fair.
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 the
00:43:42pot, 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.
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.

00:55:42it has big horns
00:55:43and hooves
00:55:44and it was roaming around freely
00:55:46until your brother-in-law shot it

00:56:07i 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
00:57:02goodnight
00:57:03goodnight
00:57:05goodnight
00:57:11goodnight
00:57:12goodnight
00:57:15goodnight
00:57:19goodnight
00:57:20goodnight
00:57:34you
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 back 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,
00:58:48and he calls it Stacy's Valley.
00:58:51The elk don't graze it 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 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 going to get up,
00:59:33and I'm going to find this little valley.
00:59:45And then I'm going to bring your father here.
00:59:50And I'm going to bury him there.
00:59:54And then I'm going to take this book,
00:59:55and I'm going to visit every place he 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 and all that shit.
01:00:09I am 65 years old.
01:00:11I don't have a whole life ahead of me.
01:00:13I have a very small window to be reckless,
01:00:17to make decisions that feed this
01:00:20and never factor this into the equation.
01:00:23And that's what I'm going to do.
01:00:25I'm going to do what he begged me to do for 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 in the morning.
01:00:47Okay.
01:01:21Poor choice of footwear.
01:01:23Here in retrospect.
01:01:25Here in retrospect.
01:02:05I personally, for the record, feel that we are underdressed,
01:02:09unarmed, and just generally unprepared
01:02:12for any kind of exploratory venture afoot.
01:02:15Afoot.
01:02:17I didn't know they taught the Queen's English at Brown.
01:02:19Well, they do.
01:02:20I mean, I didn't actually study it,
01:02:21but the course does exist.
01:02:23And the world is a better place for it, Russell.
01:02:29Let's go find this spot.
01:02:31Let's go find it.
01:02:53I'll see you in the next one.
01:02:53Oh
