00:02:09Nice one.
00:02:10Not very happy about the hook in his dinner.
00:02:17Catch him on a hopper?
00:02:21Hopper's out yet?
00:02:22There's one out.
00:02:25Yeah, they're sure not buying this salmon fly.
00:02:28They're not buying your presentation.
00:02:30You're slapping the water with it.
00:02:32Just lay it.
00:02:34Too much action in your wrist.
00:02:36Stop trying to hail a cab on Fifth Avenue.
00:02:40Just lay it down.
00:02:44Like that.
00:02:53And on a hopper.
00:02:55I do this for a living, big brother.
00:02:57Well, sort of.
00:02:58You should do it for a living.
00:03:00Never make work of your passions.
00:03:02Counterpoint to that is love what you do.
00:03:04You never work a day in your life.
00:03:05You love what you do?
00:03:06I don't even like what I do.
00:03:08You should analyze that.
00:03:09Exactly what I'm doing.
00:03:11I'm glad you're doing something,
00:03:12because you damn sure ain't catching any trout.
00:03:18You better not be doing what I think you're doing.
00:03:22Tying on a nymph.
00:03:23Don't you dare.
00:03:24This is my last day, Paul.
00:03:26I'm tying on a nymph.
00:03:27And if you fuck with me even a little,
00:03:30I'm putting on a streamer.
00:03:31I don't know you anymore.
00:03:33I recognize your face,
00:03:35but the words coming from it are the words of a stranger.
00:03:44Ha!
00:03:45Doesn't count.
00:03:46It counts.
00:03:47I got a spin caster in the truck.
00:03:49Why don't you just put some cheese on a treble hook?
00:03:51Out of here.
00:03:58Hey, I'm keeping it.
00:04:00Of course you are, fucking fish killer.
00:04:02I'm keeping it, and you're cooking it.
00:04:06All right.
00:04:08And lay it out there.
00:04:36Hey, I have the Hermes scarf and the blouse from Brunello.
00:04:39I'm meeting her at the Greenwich,
00:04:40and then we'll depart for the opening at 5.15.
00:04:42Well, does her assistant know?
00:04:44Okay.
00:04:45Yeah.
00:04:45Calling now.
00:04:49Ow!
00:04:53Ow!
00:04:55Ow!
00:04:57Ow!
00:04:57Ow!
00:04:59Ow!
00:05:02Ow!
00:05:02Ow!
00:05:03Ow!
00:05:04Ow!
00:05:06Ow!
00:05:06Ow!
00:05:06Ow!
00:05:06Ow!
00:05:07Ow!
00:05:07Ow!
00:05:20Ow!
00:05:25Ow!
00:05:26nutritionist was my idea. The diet of some of those people is abhorred. They just don't know
00:05:30any better. They don't eat junk because they like it, Laura. They eat it because it's cheap.
00:05:35They don't need a nutritionist. They need better food. The food bank has a bigger selection of
00:05:41produce than my Whole Foods, Stacey, and it all rots. They won't eat it. They want chips and
00:05:46chicken nuggets and sugar-coated cereals. They need education. Excuse me.
00:05:58Paige? I was attacked. Attacked? A man just walked up and hit me. Took my bags and hit me. Can
00:06:06you see it?
00:06:07Did you call the police? It just happened. Where are you? Downtown. Get in a cab. Should I go to
00:06:14the
00:06:14hospital? Like, look at this. No, go to Dr. Steele's office. I'll meet you there. Wait, there's a police car.
00:06:27What happened? I was attacked and robbed. Somebody hit you? Hit me and took two bags,
00:06:32shopping bags. What did they look like? Maybe 30, a navy sweatshirt, hood over his head,
00:06:39tall, tall and skinny. What color was it? Color? His skin. I can't. I can't. You didn't notice?
00:06:49But was he dark like me or light like him? I don't know. I only saw him walking away.
00:06:57But you think he's 30. How do you know that? I saw it for an instant, but yes, he looked
00:07:0130
00:07:01or maybe younger, but I don't want to say his race because I don't know. How about this?
00:07:06What color were the shopping bags? White. Two of them.
00:07:09Navy blue sweatshirt, two white bags. Got it. You need to file a report.
00:07:16Are you still there? 117 Park Avenue.
00:07:30How many stitches? I think it's going to take six.
00:07:34How big a scar? We'll deal with the scar later.
00:07:37It's easy for you to say. It's not on your face.
00:07:39Russell might like it. Scars are sexy. Scars on men are sexy. Scars on women are...
00:07:46I'm going to look like a battered spouse.
00:07:48I don't know why you were walking. Why were you walking? You know better than that.
00:07:51I was on Fifth Avenue, Mom. If you can't walk on Fifth Avenue, where can you walk?
00:07:54You can't. That's the whole point.
00:07:58Did you call Daddy?
00:07:59No, he's fishing.
00:08:00And that means you can't call him?
00:08:01No, honey, I can call him. I just can't reach him. He doesn't have cell service on the river.
00:08:06He'll call tonight. But I can tell you what he'll say. He'll say, take the car.
00:08:10Stay still.
00:08:13He hit me. For no reason. I would have given him the bags. He just hit me.
00:08:21Right.
00:08:22He hit me.
00:08:24He hit me.
00:09:04Just leave all that shit on the plane. I got a surprise for you tomorrow.
00:09:08Paul, I have to leave tomorrow.
00:09:12We're fishing the Big Lost tomorrow.
00:09:15You have to pack into the Big Lost.
00:09:17I fly in the smokejumpers, and we can use their strip.
00:09:24Happy birthday.
00:09:31Oh, shit.
00:09:44Baby. Baby. Soft. Soft.
00:10:20Sixty-four.
00:10:27Stonishing where the time goes.
00:10:30I wonder, what do I have? Maybe ten, fifteen years before I'm too old to do anything more than just
00:10:38remember.
00:10:47Looks like Stacy and the kids to this resort in the Caribbean.
00:10:52Rooms are ten grand a night. Villas are thirty.
00:10:56This shit doesn't impress me.
00:10:58No, Paul, it doesn't impress me either. I'm just trying to tell you a story.
00:11:02Now, if you quantify making it by the things you can afford, then this place is making it, yeah?
00:11:09We're sitting there on the beach and watching all these couples walk by.
00:11:15We're the youngest there by, like, two decades.
00:11:18I mean, everyone's in their 70s and 80s.
00:11:21Barely waddle across the sand.
00:11:25All covered up in their big hats and their long-sleeved shirts.
00:11:29They'd made it.
00:11:32But their bodies were too old to enjoy it.
00:11:36They were halfway around the world, and they were too old or crippled to swim in the water, run in
00:11:43the sand, make love, but none of it.
00:11:44They finally made it.
00:11:48They were all too old to create a single memory.
00:11:53They were all too old to create a single memory, and they knew it.
00:11:57It was on every one of their faces.
00:12:00Saw them at the restaurant.
00:12:02Same thing.
00:12:03Not a smile among them.
00:12:05Because they knew.
00:12:09They'd worked their whole lives for that moment.
00:12:13The moment had already passed them by.
00:12:19That's why I'm here.
00:12:21That's why I quit.
00:12:24I make a memory a day, brother.
00:12:26Sometimes more.
00:12:29But make them for who, huh?
00:12:34No kids?
00:12:37No wife?
00:12:38You've got nobody to share it with, Paul.
00:12:41I'm sharing it with you right now.
00:12:42Once a year, you share it with me.
00:12:44Then you should come more often.
00:12:45At least, you had a girlfriend.
00:12:48Not on your life.
00:12:50How about a dog?
00:12:52They're needier than girlfriends.
00:12:54Maybe a goldfish, then.
00:12:57Maybe.
00:12:58You'd probably try to kill it with one of your giant hook streamers.
00:13:09True!
00:13:32Abby, how was your day?
00:13:33Laser resurfacing is the most effective.
00:13:35Doesn't that make your skin shiny like forever?
00:13:37I still haven't seen it.
00:13:38You're never seeing it.
00:13:39It looks like a bloody zipper.
00:13:40I wish I had been there.
00:13:42What, so he could have hit you too?
00:13:43Oh, you would have gotten a shot stabbed or worse.
00:13:45What's worse than getting shot?
00:13:47I don't know, but that's what would have happened.
00:13:48Being set on fire is worse.
00:13:50Girls, please.
00:13:51And the police, they just kept asking.
00:13:53What was his race?
00:13:54Like, that has anything to do with it?
00:13:55I mean, it's pretty important information when you're trying to find somebody.
00:13:58Whoa.
00:13:59That's so racist.
00:14:06Where are you going?
00:14:08It's your father.
00:14:09So, where are you going?
00:14:11It is rude to talk on the phone in a restaurant.
00:14:14It is also rude to play on your phone in a restaurant and serve the internet.
00:14:18Basically, what all of you are doing right now is rude.
00:14:22Rude to who?
00:14:24It's rude to me.
00:14:25It's rude to each other.
00:14:26It's rude to the staff.
00:14:27It's just fucking rude.
00:14:35It's so bright there.
00:14:37What time is it?
00:14:38Seven.
00:14:40Full moon.
00:14:42Wow.
00:14:43Look at those stars.
00:14:46My view is better.
00:14:48Well, until your brother gets indoor plumbing, I'll have to take your word for it.
00:14:52There's plumbing of sorts.
00:14:54I've got a sink.
00:14:56I've got a shower now.
00:14:57Well, until the outhouse moves indoors, then I'll have to rely on pictures.
00:15:03You feel rested?
00:15:04What time do you land tomorrow?
00:15:34Okay.
00:15:36Some bad news.
00:15:37Some bad news.
00:15:38Paige got mugged today down in the village.
00:15:41What?
00:15:42Mugged?
00:15:43Is she okay?
00:15:44Yeah.
00:15:44She just, you know, she got a pretty good shiner and a decent cut.
00:15:48The doctor saw her.
00:15:50Six stitches.
00:15:50God damn it.
00:15:52I cannot come up with one plausible reason why we still live in that city.
00:15:57Well, I'll give you two.
00:15:59Our children.
00:16:01Two more.
00:16:01Our grandchildren.
00:16:02My parents.
00:16:03Make her use the car, honey.
00:16:05That's what it's for.
00:16:07She thinks it's a garish display of wealth.
00:16:10Well, if my money's so offensive, maybe we should stop giving it to her.
00:16:13Oh, honey.
00:16:14Oh, serious.
00:16:15Sell her apartment and put her up in a house in Great Neck or she takes the fucking car.
00:16:20Oh, my God.
00:16:20I knew you were going to do this.
00:16:22What am I doing?
00:16:23Okay, let's.
00:16:24This problem will be right here when you get back.
00:16:26Let's deal with it then.
00:16:28All right.
00:16:29She's okay, though, huh?
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:31In the meantime, enjoy your mountains.
00:16:34Enjoy your brother.
00:16:35Enjoy the hole in the ground.
00:16:36He thinks it's the toilet, and I'll see you Monday.
00:16:40Monday.
00:16:42I love you, honey.
00:16:44Love you.
00:17:04So, Russell, anything interesting happen in your world today besides your wife getting mugged?
00:17:10It, uh, uh, yeah, we're, uh, well, we're, uh, we're investing in a Dutch cargo ship venture.
00:17:20You know, some of these larger vessels, they, uh, carry over 25,000 containers, like 2,000 and change per
00:17:25container.
00:17:26That's over 50 million a load in freight.
00:17:28I mean, you have crew fees and docking fees and fuel by far being the largest expense.
00:17:33So, no, nothing interesting happened.
00:17:38Excuse me, um, can I order a martini, gin, three olives?
00:17:47What's wrong with you?
00:17:49I was the one that got punched.
00:18:20I was the one that got punched.
00:18:27Let's go.
00:18:32Press.
00:18:32Yeah.
00:18:33You might want to grab your rod.
00:18:34Oh, shit.
00:18:35Christ.
00:18:40The way you talk about this place, I thought I'd only need my net, so.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:45Yeah.
00:18:47Yeah.
00:19:01ORGAN PLAYS
00:19:19Hey, caddis are hatching.
00:20:01Hey, caddis are hatching.
00:20:26It's going to be one of those days, brother.
00:20:29Yes, I can use one.
00:20:47It's going to be one of those days.
00:21:10Does that worry you at all?
00:21:14We aren't going that way.
00:21:16Because that storm sure looks like it's coming this way.
00:21:20There wasn't any weather on the radar this morning.
00:21:22Well, there's weather there now, Paul.
00:21:24Storms build over the mountains every afternoon.
00:21:28But we're going that way.
00:21:33We can leave now if you want.
00:21:36I don't ever want to leave.
00:22:01Can't do it any better than that.
00:22:02I don't know.
00:22:32No, no, no!
00:22:36That's just a monster.
00:22:38We should go.
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:46Shit.
00:23:09What do you think?
00:23:11What's this telling you here?
00:23:12I'm just going to pick my way through it.
00:23:14It's going to be a little bumpy over the mountains.
00:23:16Yeah.
00:23:28It's going to be a little bumpy.
00:24:25It's going to be a little bumpy.
00:24:25It's going to be a little bumpy.
00:24:42Jesus!
00:24:43Yep.
00:24:57Big Sky approach.
00:24:59This is Cessna 185 Bravo Zulu.
00:25:01I need a swap.
00:25:02Copy that.
00:25:03Super Bravo speed and altitude.
00:25:04130 knots at 8,200.
00:25:0718 south west heading.
00:25:08Climb to 11,000.
00:25:09Copy that.
00:25:1011,000.
00:25:10Thank you, Tower.
00:25:12We'll get up over this.
00:25:25Jesus, fuck!
00:25:27Hold on.
00:25:30Oi!
00:25:33Jamie!
00:25:34Wait, where was she?
00:25:35Five blocks from here.
00:25:37Middle of the day.
00:25:41Politicians in this city have guilted us into chaos.
00:25:44Michael wants us to move to Connecticut.
00:25:46We're just staying in the Hamptons year-round.
00:25:49And I'm running out of excuses.
00:25:50The kids are gone.
00:25:51We can work from anywhere these days.
00:25:53Well, why don't you?
00:25:55Because our marriage wouldn't last a month.
00:25:57Oh, stop it.
00:25:58I'd have to learn how to cook for one.
00:26:00Oh, God forbid.
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:02And what in the world would we talk about?
00:26:04All of our friends are here.
00:26:05The ones that haven't moved to Florida.
00:26:07Yeah.
00:26:09Hmm.
00:26:10This is my city.
00:26:11It has gone to hell before.
00:26:13It will come back.
00:26:14It always does.
00:26:15Now you, on the other hand,
00:26:17how you keep your mountain man in Manhattan,
00:26:20that is a trick that you must show me.
00:26:23Our daughters is the trick.
00:26:25He would never leave them.
00:26:27And he will never get the girls to leave.
00:26:30So, you know, he just,
00:26:32as long as he gets his little escapes.
00:26:34But you have to wonder why we choose
00:26:36to live in a place we need to escape.
00:26:38Because there's no stock exchange in Telluride, my dear.
00:26:40Whenever I see Michael looking at properties online,
00:26:43I just, I just remind him how far that is
00:26:45from Yankee Stadium, and that usually does it.
00:26:49You'd have to stock the Hudson with trout to entice mine.
00:26:53Just buy him a little cabin in the Catskills.
00:26:55I think they invented fly fishing there.
00:26:58It's just three hours away.
00:26:59He can go there whenever he wants.
00:27:01It's easier to get there than the Hamptons.
00:27:03You realize all we ever talk about is leaving.
00:27:05It's all anyone talks about.
00:27:07Well, of course we do.
00:27:08We're New Yorkers.
00:27:09What else are we going to talk about
00:27:10if we can't complain about our city?
00:27:15Hmm.
00:27:16Hmm.
00:27:17Do we know anyone in Idaho?
00:27:19Well, the Greenbergs have a house in Sun Valley.
00:27:21You know, Preston didn't call me last night.
00:27:23I'm just going to, um...
00:27:26Hello?
00:27:28Is this Mrs. Clyburn?
00:27:31It is.
00:27:32Who's this?
00:27:34I'm Officer Shepard with the U.S. Department of Forestry.
00:27:39Yes?
00:27:41Is your husband Preston Clyburn?
00:27:46Yes?
00:27:48Uh-huh.
00:27:50Ma'am, your husband was involved in a plane crash
00:27:52on a mountain called Bora Peak.
00:27:57Can I...
00:27:58Is...
00:27:59Can I speak to him?
00:28:00Is he all right?
00:28:02No, ma'am.
00:28:06I'm sorry to say both he and, uh,
00:28:07Paul Clyburn did not survive the crash.
00:28:11Stacey?
00:28:14Uh, ma'am.
00:28:17What do I do?
00:28:18What do I do?
00:28:19Well, ma'am,
00:28:20we'd like you to come here
00:28:21and identify the bodies.
00:28:22Help arrange transport
00:28:23to wherever you choose
00:28:24as their resting place.
00:28:27Hey, this is Stacey's friend.
00:28:28What's happened?
00:28:32Oh, ma'am.
00:28:33Uh, uh, uh, um,
00:28:36let me get Ben.
00:28:41Um, uh, Idaho Falls.
00:28:45Is there an airport?
00:28:49Okay, okay.
00:28:51What do I mean?
00:28:52I'm, no, I just, just, just, just, just let me...
00:28:56Uh, uh!
00:29:01Oh, my God.
00:29:03Oh.
00:29:04No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:29:18Okay.
00:29:19Okay.
00:29:33I'll get the car.
00:29:40Mom, they just think it's him.
00:29:42They don't know.
00:29:44Paige.
00:29:44What?
00:29:45They don't.
00:29:47They look like pilgrims.
00:29:49Where are we?
00:29:53Hey.
00:29:55I texted and I left a message.
00:29:59This is a little more important than school, don't you think?
00:30:02I can't include you in decisions when you do not respond.
00:30:06I will tell you why.
00:30:07Because he is my fucking father and they are my children.
00:30:10When people talk about life-altering events, they are talking about this.
00:30:13Then get on a plane and come get him.
00:30:16Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:30:19It's okay.
00:30:19Uh-uh.
00:30:21I don't know.
00:30:23I see.
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:48Would you like to check in at the hotel, deal with the rest in the morning?
00:30:54Take me to the coroner.
00:30:55I want to get this over with.
00:31:01Would you like some music?
00:31:03I would not.
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:18Do we all go in?
00:31:20I don't know.
00:31:22Let me get the lay of the land.
00:31:36Ma'am, we're very sorry for your loss.
00:31:41Did you walk me through this?
00:31:42You knew the brother as well?
00:31:44I did.
00:31:45The state requires that remains be positively identified by a relative or close friend.
00:31:50Someone with enough familiarity to make visual recognition.
00:31:54Won't take long.
00:31:55I'm going to die.
00:32:08I'm going to die.
00:32:32There's no other way.
00:32:36Clearly, you know who it is, or you wouldn't have known to contact me.
00:32:40We found a phone, ma'am.
00:32:41That does not positively identify a body.
00:32:44But why else would he have the phone?
00:32:47I don't make the laws, ma'am.
00:32:49But I do have to enforce them.
00:32:52I'm going to force me.
00:33:00Before he left, he kissed me.
00:33:05And he smiled, and that is the last image of him in my mind.
00:33:10If I go in there and see what happened to him, that is the last image in my mind.
00:33:22Forever.
00:33:27I'll do it, mom.
00:33:29No.
00:33:30No, you won't.
00:33:33No, you won't.
00:33:35No, you won't.
00:33:40No.
00:33:47No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:51No.
00:33:55No.
00:33:59No.
00:34:00Which is which?
00:34:04We don't know.
00:34:18Pa.
00:34:22Pa.
00:34:30Pa.
00:34:44Pa.
00:34:49Pa.
00:34:50Pa.
00:34:55Pa.
00:35:03What's wrong with fingerprints?
00:35:06How dare you?
00:35:21Show me what you showed her.
00:35:51He had a will?
00:35:52Yes.
00:35:53Life insurance?
00:35:55Yes.
00:35:56I hate to ask these things, but...
00:35:57We're taken care of.
00:36:00What about a funeral?
00:36:01I don't know.
00:36:05The ranch, maybe.
00:36:08I guess I'll take care of his brother as well.
00:36:10He doesn't have anyone.
00:36:13Then you'll never be able to visit him, Stacy.
00:36:16I'll close my eyes when I want to visit him.
00:36:18What are you going to do with this cabin?
00:36:20It's not my cabin.
00:36:21It's your cabin now.
00:36:23And if you sell it, then you can't visit him anywhere.
00:36:26Think about that.
00:36:27Bring him home.
00:36:27This is too much.
00:36:28Just too many decisions for one day.
00:36:30Take a sleeping pill.
00:36:31I plan to.
00:36:32I'll call you tomorrow.
00:36:33Okay.
00:36:34Okay.
00:36:35I'll call you tomorrow.
00:36:46I'll call you tomorrow.
00:36:48I'll call you tomorrow.
00:36:58I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:01I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:02I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:04I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:04I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:04I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:05I'll call you tomorrow.
00:37:20We were thinking of a slumber party.
00:37:23You might.
00:37:24Come on.
00:37:28There's bound to be some shitty pizza in this town.
00:37:30He's there.
00:37:32I hope so.
00:37:37Girls, can you ninja up some Netflix on the TV?
00:37:41For you?
00:37:43Oh, God bless you.
00:37:46Nothing teaches you to self-medicate like a good divorce.
00:37:50What do you want, Grandma?
00:37:52A comedy.
00:37:54Uh, hmm, about A River Runs Through It.
00:37:58It was Grandpa's favorite movie.
00:38:02A river may run through it, but I've never actually gotten through it.
00:38:07So, in honor of him.
00:38:12We've come to the right place.
00:38:16Uh, pizza.
00:38:18Can you find some?
00:38:19Pizza?
00:38:19Yeah.
00:38:20Yeah.
00:38:20And ice cream.
00:38:22What flavors?
00:38:23Dazzle's with options.
00:38:25Done.
00:38:26Thanks, Russ.
00:38:29Is it going to be sad?
00:38:32Oh, it's about fishing.
00:38:34How sad can it be?
00:38:48I am haunted by words.
00:38:51Thanks, Mom.
00:38:52I sure feel better now.
00:38:54Jesus.
00:38:56It made your father cry, too.
00:38:57Every time, like a big baby.
00:39:03Oh, that and, uh, Rudy.
00:39:06Only men can cry over fishing and football.
00:39:10God, for life to be that simple.
00:39:14You know, in 39 years of marriage,
00:39:19we never fought.
00:39:22Not once.
00:39:25I mean, we,
00:39:26we, we danced right to the edge,
00:39:29but, but,
00:39:30we both knew
00:39:31how, how precious and how rare
00:39:34what we had was.
00:39:40I should be happy
00:39:41that he died out here
00:39:45doing something that he loves.
00:39:47Not
00:39:49tethered to some
00:39:50hospital bed, like
00:39:52most men are waiting
00:39:53to die.
00:39:58He died living,
00:40:00not
00:40:02existing.
00:40:05How many could say that?
00:40:08I hope you find
00:40:09what we had someday, honey.
00:40:11I really, really do.
00:40:12I hope you meet a man.
00:40:13That's worth missing.
00:40:18I just, like,
00:40:19wanted to return my call.
00:40:20Oh, God.
00:40:21We can work on your standards.
00:40:26Oh, God.
00:40:50Do you guys have service?
00:40:55Are we close?
00:40:56I don't know.
00:40:57Never been there before.
00:40:59We're close, I think.
00:41:17I guess this is it.
00:41:18I guess this is it.
00:41:19This is it?
00:41:19This is what the nap says.
00:41:21Stop.
00:41:42I've seen that photo.
00:41:45Okay.
00:41:49Okay.
00:41:50I don't know.
00:42:34We'd be worried about bears?
00:42:36Preston never mentioned bears.
00:43:17We'd be worried about bears.
00:43:33It's very weird.
00:43:34There's a sink and a shower, but no toilet.
00:43:37Toilets are outside.
00:43:39Outside?
00:43:40There's no septic system.
00:43:41The cabins are too close to the river.
00:43:44And that's why we never visited.
00:43:45I have absolutely no idea how you would get this furniture up here.
00:43:53Where are you going?
00:43:55I want to find Preston's cabin.
00:43:57Well, take this.
00:43:57Be careful.
00:44:01Uh, what's that?
00:44:02Bear spray.
00:44:03You said no bears.
00:44:04I said he never mentioned bears.
00:44:06I said he never mentioned bears.
00:44:26I said he never mentioned bears.
00:44:38I don't know.
00:45:07I don't know.
00:45:54I'm taking a bath.
00:45:56Don't you have dinner with the girls tonight?
00:45:58No.
00:46:00Bridget has some dance, something in Chelsea of all places.
00:46:05As if there aren't 12 ballet academies nearby.
00:46:09And Paige has some work, something with Russell at that new club they wasted their money joining.
00:46:16Our money.
00:46:18They wasted our money joining it.
00:46:21I stand corrected.
00:46:23What are you doing?
00:46:24I am making coffee.
00:46:27What time is it there?
00:46:29I don't know.
00:46:295.30.
00:46:31Babe, you'll be up all night.
00:46:33Well, I try to sleep as little as possible when I'm here.
00:46:37You know, at night, the bull elk come down to the river and bugle.
00:46:42They bugle.
00:46:43They bugle.
00:46:44It's kind of a high-pitched, almost like a whistle, and it drives the lady elk crazy.
00:46:49Oh, I remember when you used to bugle.
00:46:53I can still bugle.
00:46:55Well, it's more like a trombone these days.
00:46:58But, hey, I am no spring lady elk, so trombone is just fine with me.
00:47:05How do you make coffee?
00:47:06I thought you said you didn't have electricity.
00:47:08Well, it's electricity.
00:47:10Just no outlets.
00:47:11We got a light over the porch and light over the table.
00:47:16Huh.
00:47:17You didn't answer my question.
00:47:19Well, I build a fire in the stove and fill the pot from the river, pour the coffee in
00:47:26the pot, boil the water, and there you go.
00:47:31You can taste the smoke, Stacy.
00:47:34It's the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.
00:47:37Oh, my God.
00:47:39Oh, honey, I think you are romanticizing this to the point of physical impossibility.
00:47:45Maybe you should just wash the pot.
00:47:48Well, technically, it's a percolator.
00:47:50Ah.
00:47:51And if you'll ever come here, I'll make you a cup.
00:47:55The best you'll ever have.
00:47:57If you really wanted me to come there, you and your brother would build a bathroom.
00:48:01It has a bathroom.
00:48:02Inside the house.
00:48:04God, you're spoiled.
00:48:07Conveniences have become your necessities.
00:48:09We went camping once a long time ago.
00:48:13Or have you managed to block that out?
00:48:15No, no, no, no.
00:48:16That was not camping.
00:48:18That was an excuse to get you in a tent.
00:48:20I had planned nothing past the sex.
00:48:24Well, you married a city mouse, honey.
00:48:28City mice stay in the city.
00:48:31You need to see it, Stace.
00:48:34Just once.
00:48:36I do.
00:48:37I do see it.
00:48:38Every time you send a picture of you and some traumatized trout.
00:48:42It's not the same.
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:44Yeah.
00:48:53Yeah.
00:49:18Girls?
00:49:22Girls?
00:49:25Where are you going?
00:49:26We just want to check it out.
00:49:27Well, don't climb on anything.
00:49:29Watch out for snakes.
00:49:30Are there snakes?
00:49:31I don't know.
00:49:32So you probably should watch out for them.
00:49:47What in the world?
00:49:49I found a motel about an hour away.
00:49:53Does not look great.
00:49:54Could drive into Bozeman or Helena.
00:49:57Everything seems to be about two hours from everything else.
00:50:05How long do you think she wants to stay?
00:50:07I'm going to go find out.
00:50:15Mom?
00:50:19Mom?
00:50:24What's that?
00:50:28Coffee maker.
00:50:30It is?
00:50:31Yeah, it's done.
00:50:33You want some?
00:50:35Why not?
00:50:54He sat here and called me.
00:50:58Right here.
00:51:02Talked about fish.
00:51:06And I'd pretend like I cared.
00:51:11He was right.
00:51:15Not the same in pictures.
00:51:19I never came with him because I thought I'd be bored.
00:51:28Or, you know, a third wheel.
00:51:29I didn't want to interrupt his man time, his brother time.
00:51:36And I thought about bringing you two out when you were younger.
00:51:39But then, you know, it's not a vacation for him.
00:51:42It's a trip.
00:51:44And he's worried about pleasing you and not himself.
00:51:47And wow, was I wrong.
00:51:53I robbed us of this.
00:51:57I robbed him of sharing it with us.
00:52:00Please don't do that.
00:52:03Do not blame yourself for things that you didn't do.
00:52:07You had a loving marriage for 40 years in New York City.
00:52:13I mean, they should both statue you, too.
00:52:20Miss him.
00:52:22God knows I will.
00:52:25But no blame.
00:52:28You two did it right.
00:52:34It's getting late.
00:52:36Motel's a hike.
00:52:37We can come back in the morning.
00:52:42I'm going to stay here.
00:52:46Mmm.
00:52:47He was right.
00:52:48He can taste the smoke.
00:52:52Mmm.
00:52:53Mmm.
00:52:55Mmm.
00:52:56Mmm.
00:52:57Mmm.
00:52:59Mmm.
00:53:08She's just going to stay?
00:53:10And do what?
00:53:11There's not even a bathroom here.
00:53:13Oh, I found one.
00:53:14It's outside.
00:53:16Spartan.
00:53:17What does Spartan mean?
00:53:19Rustic.
00:53:20There's like a hornet's nest inside the hole.
00:53:24It adds a certain degree of difficulty.
00:53:26She can't stay here.
00:53:28Okay?
00:53:29It's selfish.
00:53:30She's acting like she's the only one who lost somebody.
00:53:33Okay?
00:53:33He was my father.
00:53:34Fine dare.
00:53:36She has been with him since she was 19.
00:53:39I've been with him since I was born.
00:53:41So were you.
00:53:41We were not with him.
00:53:43He was present when we needed something.
00:53:46When we needed a chauffeur or a cheerleader, a therapist, a bank.
00:53:52You want to mourn something?
00:53:54Why don't we mourn the time that we didn't give him?
00:53:56He was her lover and her best friend.
00:54:00It is not the same thing.
00:54:01You lost the idea of him, Paige.
00:54:04Which you can still have.
00:54:06Girls, go back outside now.
00:54:07We can hear you yelling.
00:54:33Oh, God bless your uncle.
00:54:38Hey, did I see a garden somewhere?
00:54:42By the barn.
00:54:43What's in it?
00:54:44We didn't check.
00:54:45Let's check.
00:54:54I'd say you nailed it with me.
00:55:00But if that's all he was to you two, what a shame, girls.
00:55:17Kale and Swiss chard.
00:55:19I think these are scallions.
00:55:21Oh, this is time.
00:55:24This will come in handy.
00:55:27Nice, right?
00:55:29Strawberries.
00:55:30Wow.
00:55:32Wait, you can just grow them?
00:55:34Apparently.
00:55:35I thought they just came from farms.
00:55:38Well, that's what this is.
00:55:39It's an itty-bitty farm.
00:55:41I think this is spinach.
00:55:46What's this?
00:55:49Oh, shit.
00:55:50That's a snake.
00:55:51Everything okay?
00:55:53We're okay.
00:55:54It's okay.
00:55:55He's more scared of you than you are of him.
00:55:57Okay, let's just go over here.
00:56:03Okay.
00:56:21All right.
00:56:22All right.
00:56:24Lesson learned.
00:56:25Less is more with this stuff.
00:56:40When was the last time you saw one of those girls?
00:56:43One of what?
00:56:46Sunset.
00:56:49Can't remember?
00:56:52No, me neither.
00:56:57There must be a nice grocery store around here because Paul has every cheese on the planet.
00:57:01I sent a package.
00:57:02Your father likes to rough it, but he doesn't like to starve.
00:57:06Somebody grate the parmesan?
00:57:07Uh, we got it here.
00:57:14What are you making?
00:57:16Polenta.
00:57:17How are you making polenta?
00:57:19You just boil cornmeal, honey.
00:57:22I don't think polenta has corn in it.
00:57:24That's all polenta has.
00:57:26Just corn and liquid and cheese.
00:57:28I think that's grits.
00:57:30Yes.
00:57:31Grits and polenta are the same thing.
00:57:33Mother, they make grits in Alabama.
00:57:36You're telling me it's the same thing as the dish from Italy?
00:57:39It's the exact same thing.
00:57:40Just finish it with different toppings.
00:57:43If it has different ingredients, it's a different dish.
00:57:45Somebody pour me some wine.
00:57:46Like they're making the same thing in Birmingham that they're making in Florence?
00:57:50With different cheese.
00:57:52That's the only difference.
00:57:53Okay.
00:57:53I'm not going to argue with you because you're in mourning, but the time will come where I
00:57:58will tell you how wrong you are.
00:58:06Oh, that looks great.
00:58:10Yeah, I don't think this is beef.
00:58:14What?
00:58:15It's beef.
00:58:15Yeah, it didn't cook like beef.
00:58:17It doesn't smell like beef.
00:58:18Look at me.
00:58:19It's beef.
00:58:20Okay?
00:58:21For tonight.
00:58:22It's beef.
00:58:24Okay.
00:58:26Um, what, what, what, what is it really?
00:58:30It said elk.
00:58:32The world doesn't need to know that.
00:58:35Why?
00:58:36Do you think the, uh, you think the world would, uh, rip, rip hold?
00:58:40How do you think your wife would react?
00:58:43Um, yeah, not, uh, not good.
00:58:46Multiply that by four.
00:58:47Right.
00:58:47Okay, so should I slice it?
00:58:49No, I think you should just do whatever you think will make it look more like beef.
00:58:53Yeah, you got it, you got it, you got it.
00:58:57Can I have more on the steak?
00:58:59You bet, honey.
00:59:01Oh, me too, please.
00:59:02You're a really good cook.
00:59:03Thanks.
00:59:05Steak's really good, honey.
00:59:12Do you girls want more grits?
00:59:13It's not grits, it's polenta.
00:59:15You and I can agree to disagree, but I'm not lying to my children.
00:59:18They're my children.
00:59:19They're my nieces.
00:59:21You know what I mean?
00:59:22They're basically my children.
00:59:23They're not even kind of your children.
00:59:25But if you want them to be your children, you can get them to dance on Tuesday and Thursday
00:59:30and then take them to fucking Paramusate in the morning for gymnastics.
00:59:34Fine.
00:59:34The children.
00:59:35I'm not lying to the children.
00:59:37I don't see why not.
00:59:38I'm lying to mine.
00:59:41Are you enjoying the elk, Paige?
00:59:44The what?
00:59:46It's elk.
00:59:52Elk.
00:59:53Like the deer?
00:59:54No, no, not a deer.
00:59:56The big deer?
00:59:56No, it's a different species.
00:59:57It's kind of like grits and polenta, according to your logic.
01:00:02It has big horns and hooves, and it was roaming around freely until your brother-in-law shot it.
01:00:08That's what I'm eating?
01:00:08I'm not sure that they have hooves.
01:00:11Did you know?
01:00:13You knew.
01:00:14I can fucking tell.
01:00:15You knew, and you cooked it, and you're just going to let me eat it?
01:00:18I think it's really good.
01:00:21Mom, what do you think is going to happen to all the food in this house, Paige?
01:00:25It's going to get eaten, or it's going to rot.
01:00:28I didn't kill the thing.
01:00:29Your uncle will never kill another one.
01:00:32I suppose we could throw it all away, and then it's nourishing some raccoon or worms, or I guess.
01:00:39Or it can nourish us, which is what it's doing.
01:00:45When's the last time you cooked a meal, Paige?
01:00:47Not reheated one, not microwaved one.
01:00:50We picked that from a garden.
01:00:51Your uncle took that from somewhere around here.
01:00:54The cornmeal is in a jar.
01:00:56Did he make that?
01:00:58Maybe.
01:00:58Maybe everything we ate came from this little world that your father adored.
01:01:06We made a meal from this place together.
01:01:10I think it's beautiful.
01:01:12I think it's perfect.
01:01:14And I know your father would, too.
01:01:19I wonder who has to die for us to make another meal together.
01:01:26Good night.
01:01:29Good night.
01:02:13I wonder if that stuff works.
01:02:17I guess.
01:02:18So long as the wind is at your back.
01:02:21Good point.
01:02:26What are you reading?
01:02:29A journal.
01:02:33Your father kept a journal here.
01:02:3725 years.
01:02:40What's it say?
01:02:42Talks about, um, which river, and then it says to crack a window and lighting the stove in a wind,
01:02:52uh, there's a downdraft that pushes the smoke back into the cabin.
01:02:56It's half diary, half how-to guide.
01:03:03Then there's a, um, there's a, um, spot upriver.
01:03:17And he calls it Stacy's valley.
01:03:21And he calls it Stacy's valley.
01:03:21The elk don't graze there for some reason, so the grass grows tall and it's yellow and it reminds him
01:03:28of my hair.
01:03:37I-I need to know his last little secret.
01:03:45How can I say goodbye when there's still more to know?
01:03:59So tomorrow morning, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna find this little valley.
01:04:17And then I'm gonna bring your father here, and I'm gonna bury him there, and then I'm gonna take this
01:04:27book, and I'm gonna visit every place he wrote about.
01:04:35And you can tell me I'm crazy, you can say I need to move on, I have a whole life
01:04:40ahead of me and all that shit, I am 65 years old, I don't have a whole life ahead of
01:04:46me, I have a very small window to be reckless, to make decisions that feed this, and never factor this
01:04:56into the equation, and that's what I'm gonna do.
01:04:58I'm gonna do what he begged me to do for 30 years.
01:05:04I'm gonna finally see this place.
01:05:11Want some company?
01:05:16I'd love some.
01:05:21Well, then I'll see you in the morning.
01:05:22OK.
01:05:23Something like that.
01:05:24OK.
01:05:26OK.
01:05:27I think it's the most canada.
01:05:30OK.
01:05:32OK.
01:05:34OK.
01:05:58Poor choice of footwear in retrospect.
01:06:09Here we go.
01:06:44I personally, for the record, feel that we are underdressed, unarmed, and just generally unprepared
01:06:51for any kind of exploratory venture afoot.
01:06:54Afoot?
01:06:56I didn't know they taught the Queen's English at Brown.
01:06:59Oh, they do.
01:06:59I mean, I didn't actually study it, but the course does exist.
01:07:03And the world is a better place for it, Russell.
01:07:09Let's go find this spot.
