Affliction

00:03:08 |
[Man Narrating] This is |
00:03:11 |
strange criminal behavior |
00:03:14 |
We who loved him |
00:03:17 |
It's as if he never existed. |
00:03:20 |
By telling his story like this, |
00:03:25 |
I tell my own story as well. |
00:03:27 |
Everything of importance, |
00:03:29 |
that is everything that gives rise |
00:03:32 |
occurred during a single |
00:03:35 |
in a small town in upstate New Hampshire |
00:03:39 |
and so was I. |
00:03:41 |
One night something changed, |
00:03:46 |
from what it had been |
00:03:49 |
I mark this change |
00:03:51 |
during a phone call |
00:03:54 |
Something I had not heard before. |
00:03:57 |
Let us imagine that around 8:00 |
00:04:00 |
comes a pale blue, eight-year-old |
00:04:05 |
A square-faced man wearing |
00:04:09 |
Beside him sits a child, |
00:04:11 |
a little girl with |
00:04:16 |
[Man] Sorry for the screwup. |
00:04:19 |
It's too late |
00:04:22 |
I had to stop at Penney's to get |
00:04:26 |
Whose fault is it then |
00:04:29 |
You're the one in charge, Dad. |
00:04:31 |
Yeah. |
00:04:33 |
Look, those kids are still |
00:04:38 |
- Those are the Hoyts. |
00:04:43 |
Can't you see? Look out there. |
00:04:46 |
Those Hoyt kids, |
00:04:50 |
See, look. They put shaving cream |
00:04:54 |
- Why did they do that? |
00:04:57 |
- You know. |
00:04:59 |
Yeah. It's stupid. |
00:05:02 |
Well... I guess |
00:05:05 |
Did you do that stuff |
00:05:08 |
No! |
00:05:11 |
Well, sort of. |
00:05:13 |
Nothing really mean. |
00:05:17 |
It was kind of funny then. |
00:05:20 |
- But it's not funny now. |
00:05:24 |
I'm a cop. I gotta listen to |
00:05:27 |
I'm not a kid anymore. |
00:05:30 |
I bet you did a lot of bad stuff |
00:05:33 |
What are you |
00:05:36 |
- I don't know. |
00:05:40 |
[Chuckling] |
00:05:42 |
I didn't used to be bad. |
00:05:45 |
No, sir! |
00:05:48 |
Where do you get this stuff from? |
00:05:51 |
No. She doesn't talk |
00:06:26 |
Hey, Wade. |

The most imaginative |

Go ahead, jump in line. |
00:07:10 |
Go on. Some of those kids |
00:07:16 |

00:07:19 |
You know these kids |
00:07:22 |
It hasn't been that long. |
00:07:24 |
- It's not that. |
00:07:27 |
I don't like it here. |
00:07:31 |
Oh, Jesus, Jill, come on. |
00:07:35 |

Alma, have you seen Jill? |
00:09:12 |
She's around somewhere. |
00:09:15 |

Say, you want to go tomorrow? |

00:09:51 |
No, I didn't see anybody I knew. |
00:09:56 |
- I want to go home. |
00:10:01 |
There's lots of kids |
00:10:04 |
Don't worry, Dad. |
00:10:08 |
But I want to go home. |
00:10:23 |
All right, I tell you what. |
00:10:26 |
Tomorrow morning |
00:10:30 |
Okay? |
00:10:32 |
- I called Mom. |
00:10:36 |
- Just now? |
00:10:38 |
Jesus, why? |
00:10:41 |
- I knew you'd be mad. |
00:10:45 |
You know. |
00:10:47 |
I told her I wanted to come home. |
00:10:50 |
Dad, don't be mad at me. |
00:10:53 |
Well, I guess I am. |
00:10:56 |
I mean, you know. |
00:10:59 |
I planned this. |
00:11:03 |

00:11:11 |
You shouldn't have |

Come on, we're gonna call her |
00:11:36 |

00:11:41 |
Gone already! |
00:11:47 |

00:11:50 |
That's all you've got to say, |
00:11:53 |
Yeah. |
00:12:00 |
[Clears Throat] |
00:12:04 |
You know, she won't be here |
00:12:07 |
- Think you can stand it that long? |
00:12:13 |
Where do you expect |
00:12:15 |
Obviously downstairs with |
00:12:29 |
Sit there by yourself |
00:12:33 |
Wait for her by yourself! |
00:12:36 |
- I'm goin' downstairs. |
00:12:39 |
When Mom comes, |
00:12:57 |
I thought I told you |
00:13:01 |
Relax, Chief. |
00:13:03 |
You want a toke? |
00:13:06 |
No, Jesus Christ, Jack! |
00:13:12 |
Why don't you get |
00:13:15 |
If Gordon or one of those guys see |
00:13:18 |

00:13:21 |
Some job! |
00:13:23 |
Here, have a hit. |

Twombley something. Erwin... |
00:13:49 |
[Wade] Evan? He's |

You're lucky. |
00:13:54 |
Gotta guarantee a kill, of course. |
00:13:57 |
Which I can do. There are |

He's always got |
00:14:05 |
He wants to keep Twombley happy, |
00:14:09 |
- What's wrong with you? |
00:14:13 |
You should get close to him, Jack. |
00:14:17 |
Make yourself irreplaceable. |
00:14:21 |
Like you and Gordon? |
00:14:24 |
[Chuckling] Right. The son of a bitch |
00:14:29 |
Yeah, he'd go broke tomorrow |
00:14:32 |
[Laughing] |
00:14:35 |
- [Jack] |
00:14:38 |
What? |
00:14:39 |
- That's my ex-wife Lillian |
00:14:44 |
- What's she here for? |
00:14:48 |
Jack, I gotta get back to town. |
00:14:51 |
See if you can get back to the town hall |
00:14:53 |
- Piece of cake. |
00:15:06 |
Lillian? |
00:15:08 |
Lillian. |
00:15:11 |
Where's Jill? |
00:15:14 |
Me and Jill, |
00:15:17 |
She kind of felt left out |
00:15:19 |
Where is she? Is she |
00:15:22 |
No. She told me she wanted |
00:15:28 |
While you went for |
00:15:34 |
That Hettie Rogers in there |
00:15:37 |
Yeah. |
00:15:39 |
[Laughing] Boy, she's grown up |
00:15:43 |
Jesus, lay off, will ya? |
00:15:45 |
You've won this round, |
00:15:50 |
You amaze me. |
00:15:59 |
[Wade] |
00:16:01 |
It's got nothing to do with you, |
00:16:04 |
- You got it? |
00:16:07 |
Listen to me. |
00:16:09 |
Please don't make a scene. |
00:16:13 |
Don't make this any worse. |
00:16:15 |
- I'm not making it any worse. You are! |
00:16:18 |
Me and Jill, |
00:16:20 |
- It's normal. |
00:16:23 |
I know she called you. |
00:16:27 |
- Coming up here and treating her |
00:16:31 |
Just wait till |
00:16:40 |
Don't say a word. |
00:16:45 |
I didn't hit him. |
00:16:52 |
I'm not gonna hit anybody. |
00:17:26 |
- New hat! |
00:17:30 |
- Jill's up, I see. |
00:17:34 |
- How's she doing? |
00:17:38 |
You two want to do anything, need |
00:17:42 |
Like hell you are. Tomorrow's |
00:17:45 |
I'll need you at least in the mornin'. |
00:17:49 |
Well, I guess that's that. |
00:17:53 |
You be careful |
00:17:55 |

00:18:01 |
- I'll see you tomorrow. |
00:18:12 |
- Tomorrow, Gordon. |
00:18:16 |
Watch the snow. |
00:18:31 |
[Twombley] This weather |
00:18:35 |
Don't worry, Mr. Twombley, |
00:18:38 |
Right about now, the does |
00:18:41 |
The bucks are |
00:18:44 |
We're right behind the bucks. |
00:18:46 |
That gun gets fired before 10:00. |
00:18:49 |
Whether it kills a deer or not, |
00:18:53 |
I'll put you inside 30, 35 yards of |
00:18:57 |

00:19:01 |
Done much shootin' |
00:19:05 |
I'll tell you what, kid. |
00:19:10 |
there's an extra $100 in it. |
00:19:14 |
- If you get it? |
00:19:17 |
- You might not kill it. |
00:19:19 |
You might gut-shoot it. Cripple it |
00:19:23 |
Can't guarantee that won't happen, |
00:19:29 |
I may have to shoot it. |
00:19:31 |
- You take care of your end, |
00:19:35 |
You understand what I'm sayin'? |
00:19:37 |
- I want a deer, a dead one. |
00:19:41 |
[Jack] No sweat. You'll get yourself |
00:19:45 |
- And you'll get your extra $100. |
00:19:56 |

[Miss Brooks] |
00:20:06 |
Hi, Melanie. |
00:20:11 |
Wade? Where's Jill? |
00:20:13 |
I thought she was coming |
00:20:18 |
[Jill's Voice] |
00:20:21 |
But I don't want to go |
00:20:36 |
For Pete's sake, Whitehouse, |

[Horns Honking] |
00:20:50 |
[Miss Brooks] |
00:20:54 |
Why were you holding everyone up? |
00:20:58 |
Did you see that son of a bitch in that |
00:21:01 |
- Did you get his number? |
00:21:03 |
- Good. |
00:21:05 |
He's from Boston. |
00:21:10 |
The old man's out hunting with Jack. |
00:21:14 |
Now, Wade... |
00:21:16 |
- Safety on? |
00:21:27 |
I'm all right. |
00:21:30 |
Stay with me. |
00:21:33 |
I've seen you before. |
00:21:36 |
- I used to play ball. |
00:21:39 |
- Drafted by the Red Sox. |
00:21:43 |
- Double-A. New Britain. |
00:21:46 |
Pitcher. Best ballplayer to come out |
00:21:51 |
- Really? |
00:21:54 |
Only difference between me |
00:22:01 |
- Safety on? |
00:22:04 |
- Just ahead. |
00:22:09 |
Deers have ears too, you know. |
00:22:12 |
[Chuckles] |
00:22:49 |
[LaRiviere] It's simple. |
00:22:53 |
It looks like a piece of shit. |
00:22:55 |
That's right. |
00:22:58 |
Looks like shit view right now. |
00:23:00 |
Tell them if they don't move it, |
00:23:03 |
I gotta go. I'll call you later. |
00:23:10 |
Told you the snow was coming down. |
00:23:13 |
[Together] |
00:23:16 |
- Where's the plow? |
00:23:19 |
Jack's out hunting |
00:23:22 |
- His son-in-law damn near |
00:23:25 |
At the school crossing. Could've hurt |
00:23:29 |
Don't go playing policeman. |
00:23:32 |
What the hell am I? |
00:23:35 |
I mean, you hired me. |
00:23:39 |
You don't want |
00:23:42 |
I'm not sayin' that! |
00:23:49 |
Take the grader. |
00:23:51 |
Don't let Lillian get to you. |
00:23:54 |
- That's why she left. |
00:23:56 |
That's what I love |
00:23:59 |
You know everybody. |
00:24:10 |
Stay close. |
00:24:15 |
Fresh tracks. |
00:24:17 |
[Sniffing] |
00:24:19 |
Deer shit. Big one. |
00:24:22 |
Here's your buck, |

Cold. How do you think? |
00:26:15 |
Yeah, sorry about that. |
00:26:18 |
Why is it every year come first snow |
00:26:22 |
School. Traffic crossing. |
00:26:24 |
- So what are we doing after? |
00:26:28 |
Don't work too fast, all right? |
00:26:31 |
Business being the way it is, |

Gordon's looking for any reason |

That border jumper's got too much money |

[Man] I'll tell you who's a pisser. |
00:26:42 |
He was mean normal. |
00:26:44 |
But when he drank, |

Brown's Canadian. |
00:26:53 |
One Christmas, there was this cord |
00:26:57 |
He decides he's gonna have |

Except it's been out back |

He grabs the boys, throws them outside. |

Oh! Come on, move it. |

You'll thank me for this one day, boys. |

Huh? Get in there! |
00:27:59 |
Quitter? Huh? Huh? |
00:28:02 |
- So what happened? |
00:28:05 |
That's all I heard. |
00:28:09 |
We were just talkin' about your old man. |
00:28:13 |
[Men Laughing] |
00:28:17 |
Jesus, LaCoy, you got nothing better |

What was that, Wade? |
00:29:02 |
You say something? |
00:29:05 |
You got something to say, say it. |

You no good pup! |

Ahh. Wade, Wade. It's people like you |
00:29:54 |
I'm not finding fault. It's good |

There was nothin' here before. |

Hmm. |

- You okay? |
00:30:45 |
I'm sorry about what I said. |

00:30:53 |
- She went back with Lillian? |
00:30:56 |
- Yeah. Forget it. |
00:31:01 |
I'm gonna start me |
00:31:04 |
- I don't give a fucking shit anymore! |
00:31:07 |
- Yeah, I do. |
00:31:11 |
You just oughta cool off for a few days, |
00:31:15 |
Work it out with her. |
00:31:18 |
- Lillian's not out to get you. |
00:31:21 |
Lillian's been trying to nail me |
00:31:25 |
I'm gonna get me a lawyer from Concord, |
00:31:30 |
- Marge? |
00:31:33 |
She thinks she can cart Jill off |
00:31:37 |
I'm a whole lot more than pissed. |
00:31:40 |
I've been there plenty in my life, |
00:31:43 |
And this is different. |
00:31:45 |
Marge, you got orders. |
00:31:48 |
Call me. |
00:31:51 |
- Tonight. Let's get together tonight. |
00:32:00 |
- Talked to Jack? |
00:32:03 |
The fucker shot himself. Ker-bang! |
00:32:06 |
Not on purpose. |
00:32:09 |
- Who? Jack? |
00:32:11 |
- How'd you hear this? |
00:32:13 |
One of the boys comin' in. Jack on |
00:32:16 |
I figured you'd know |
00:32:18 |
I was on the grader. Twombley, |
00:32:22 |
Friend of Gordon's. It was Gordon's idea |
00:32:25 |
Oh, boy. I gotta go. |
00:32:28 |
I want you to work on |
00:32:32 |
- All righty. |
00:32:36 |
Something like that |
00:32:39 |
- What's the hurry? |
00:32:42 |
- I figured you would've heard. |
00:32:45 |
I gotta get up there. How would I have |
00:32:51 |
Go on. Go on! You drive. |
00:32:56 |
[C.B. Indistinct] |
00:33:00 |
[LaRiviere] |
00:33:02 |
All you heard was there was |
00:33:05 |
Twombley's shot. I heard that. |
00:33:08 |
Jack's okay, I assume. |
00:33:10 |
- You don't know how bad or anything? |
00:33:13 |
Yes, Wade. |
00:33:15 |
Put out that cigarette! |
00:33:18 |
Fuck, fuck, fuck! |
00:33:20 |
[Wade] Probably shot himself |
00:33:23 |
That's what usually happens. |
00:33:25 |
- I should've sent you instead of Jack. |
00:33:28 |
I'd rather be deer huntin' than freezin' |
00:33:32 |
Well, you ain't the hunter Jack is, and |
00:33:35 |
- Like hell! |
00:33:40 |
- That must've been Twombley. |
00:33:45 |
No, no, let's go to the top. |
00:33:49 |
He'll know what happened. |
00:34:01 |
There's Jack. |
00:34:04 |
[Policeman] |
00:34:07 |
[Jack] |
00:34:09 |
[Policeman] Turns out to be |
00:34:14 |
She says, "Officer, can we make this |
00:34:19 |
Heard the news? |
00:34:22 |
- I heard Twombley got shot. |
00:34:24 |
Watch the dog, Wade. |
00:34:27 |
- Takes a mind to, |
00:34:30 |
- Is it bad? |
00:34:33 |
Jesus! |
00:34:34 |
- Will he make it? |
00:34:38 |
Had a hole in his back |
00:34:40 |
Nice hole in front too. |
00:34:42 |
- Did you see it? |
00:34:46 |
We weren't far apart. |
00:34:49 |
I looked at the bottom |
00:34:52 |
and there the fucker was, |
00:34:54 |
I called it right in. |
00:34:57 |
This is gonna be one mess |
00:34:59 |
Twombley's son-in-law and daughter |
00:35:02 |
- Didn't you say you'd seen him, Wade? |
00:35:05 |
You want to tell them? |
00:35:07 |
What the fuck! |
00:35:11 |
Gimme the keys. |
00:35:13 |
- You still got plowing to do. |
00:35:17 |
- Something bugging you? |
00:35:21 |
Right now we're not interested |
00:35:23 |
Why don't you do a few things |
00:35:31 |
You might as well take the rest |
00:35:34 |
You've been paid |
00:35:36 |
Not exactly. |
00:35:39 |
Don't worry. |
00:35:42 |
Don't talk to any newspaper |
00:35:45 |
[LaRiviere] Twombley's |
00:35:48 |
Just tell them that your lawyer |
00:35:50 |
[Jack] Lawyer? |
00:35:52 |
No, of course not. |
00:35:55 |
[Speaking French] |
00:36:06 |
- Where'd Twombley get shot? |
00:36:08 |
- No. I mean whereabouts. |
00:36:13 |
The old lumber road, huh? That's a |
00:36:17 |
Ambulance guys lugged him up. |
00:36:21 |
- You stayed away? |
00:36:26 |
- Where'd you get that blood? |
00:36:28 |
On your sleeve. |
00:36:31 |
Must've... Ahh. |
00:36:34 |
- What are you doing, playing cop? |
00:36:37 |
I gotta make a report to Fish and Game. |
00:36:41 |
- What'd he do? |
00:36:45 |
Must've slipped or something. |
00:36:48 |
I just heard the gun go off. |
00:36:51 |
I've never seen a man get shot before. |
00:36:54 |
Not even in the service. |
00:37:00 |
- I didn't actually see it. Like I said. |
00:37:03 |
- What? |
00:37:06 |
What the fuck are you telling me? |
00:37:10 |
You must've seen him get shot! |
00:37:14 |
Let's get the fuck outta here. |
00:37:21 |
There's your old 20-gauge, and that's |
00:37:24 |
Oh, look at this. |
00:37:27 |
That must be Twombley's gun. |
00:37:29 |
It's brand-new. |
00:37:32 |
Probably only been fired one time. |
00:37:34 |
But what the hell, Jack? I guess you |
00:37:40 |
Twombley sure as hell |
00:37:43 |
- I gotta turn it in to Fish and Game. |
00:37:47 |
Sure, you were. |
00:37:57 |
- [Wade] Rolfe? |
00:37:59 |
Brother, look. |
00:38:02 |
Has there been anything on TV in Boston |
00:38:05 |
involving a guy named Twombley, |
00:38:09 |
[Rolfe] There was something. |
00:38:12 |
Yeah. Yeah, I know him. |
00:38:17 |
Maybe you did too. |
00:38:19 |
He works for LaRiviere with me. |
00:38:24 |
Wade, it's late. |
00:38:26 |
But I'm in bed reading. |
00:38:29 |
No, no. Not tonight. |
00:38:33 |
I was calling 'cause |
00:38:40 |
[Wade] |
00:38:43 |
[Gunshot] |
00:38:47 |
Lt'll come out that Jack lied, |
00:38:52 |
He was scheduled to testify |
00:38:55 |
investigating organized crime in |
00:38:58 |
- Who? |
00:39:01 |
- No shit! |
00:39:04 |
- Well, it was an accident. |
00:39:10 |
[Gunshot] |
00:39:13 |
[Wade] |
00:39:16 |
[Rolfe] |
00:39:18 |
Lillian was here. In Lawford. |
00:39:23 |
- Night before the shooting. |
00:39:26 |
She came to pick up Jill. |
00:39:29 |
She was supposed to spend |
00:39:35 |
- Who? |
00:39:40 |
I was thinking of getting a lawyer. |
00:39:45 |
- What happened? |
00:39:49 |
No, a custody lawyer. |
00:39:53 |
Don't think about it. |
00:39:56 |
Yeah, I guess so. |
00:39:59 |
Get some sleep. |
00:40:03 |
I get to feeling like |
00:40:08 |
Some night I'm gonna bite back. |
00:40:12 |
Haven't you already done |
00:40:14 |
No, no, I haven't. |
00:40:18 |
I've growled a little, |
00:40:21 |
but I haven't bit. |
00:40:42 |
[Knocking On Door] |
00:40:47 |
It's okay, sweetie. |
00:40:51 |
Who are you? |
00:40:53 |
I'm Wade Whitehouse. |
00:40:58 |
He's asleep. |
00:41:01 |
We were up very late last night. |
00:41:04 |
I just wanted to say I'm really sorry |
00:41:09 |
Mrs. Gordon. Thank you. |
00:41:12 |
Yeah. Yeah, sure. |
00:41:15 |
I just had a little business |
00:41:19 |
- I'm the local police officer. |
00:41:24 |
No, no, no. It's just a traffic thing. |
00:41:30 |
Can it wait then? |
00:41:33 |
Whitehouse, next time, |
00:41:36 |
[Laughing] |
00:41:40 |
When I come all the way out here |
00:41:47 |
What the hell |
00:41:49 |
I'm issuing you a ticket. |
00:41:53 |
Moving violation? |
00:41:55 |
I just get out of bed, |
00:41:58 |
- Yesterday you passed a stopped |
00:42:03 |
Don't ever put your hands on me, |
00:42:06 |
You're talkin' about a goddamned ticket |
00:42:09 |
while you were dreaming of |
00:42:12 |
[Paper Rustling] |
00:42:14 |
There's your ticket. |
00:42:18 |
You get the hell outta |
00:42:21 |
You'll be a lucky asshole if I haven't |
00:42:24 |
I could do that. Just one phone call. |
00:42:34 |
[Margie] |
00:42:37 |
Heard he was drunk at Toby's last night |
00:42:41 |
He drove off without her. |
00:42:43 |
I'm sure. I'm positive it didn't |
00:42:49 |
Jack's turned into one of those men |
00:42:54 |
He used to be a sweet kid. |
00:42:57 |
When he found out he couldn't |
00:43:02 |
Now he's like everyone else. |
00:43:05 |
I've been wondering |
00:43:09 |
instead of Twombley |
00:43:13 |
[Wade] I wonder if maybe |
00:43:17 |
[Gunshot] |
00:43:21 |
Wade! How can you even |
00:43:25 |
Why would Jack Hewitt do that? |
00:43:29 |
Money. |
00:43:31 |
- Jack doesn't need money. |
00:43:34 |
Except Twombley and that son of a bitch |
00:43:39 |
- Jack wouldn't kill for it. |
00:43:43 |
A guy like Twombley probably got |
00:43:48 |
The government's investigating |
00:43:50 |
[Laughing] |
00:43:54 |
[Laughing] |
00:43:57 |
I just know Jack's lying |
00:44:01 |
He seemed... tight, you know? |
00:44:05 |
I know that kid. I know what he's like |
00:44:10 |
You wouldn't have done anything |
00:44:15 |
[Chuckles] |
00:44:17 |
But if somebody'd give me half a damned |
00:44:22 |
But you're not anymore. |
00:44:28 |
When are you gonna get |
00:44:38 |
- Oh, yeah, I can see |
00:44:43 |
No, not really. Not what you |
00:44:49 |
Hmm. I never really... |
00:44:51 |
could see you as a kid when |
00:44:55 |
In what way? |
00:44:57 |
After making love. |
00:44:59 |
I like it. It's nice to see that |
00:45:04 |
It's kind of scary. |
00:45:06 |
- But it's nice. |
00:45:09 |
- I'll get us a beer. |
00:45:14 |
Don't you think... |
00:45:17 |
Do you really think |
00:45:20 |
this custody thing right now? |
00:45:23 |
Sure. Why not? |
00:45:27 |
I don't know. |
00:45:34 |
I'm her father. |
00:45:39 |
Yeah. Yes, I do. |
00:45:42 |
You know, maybe the only thing |
00:45:46 |
that I've been |
00:45:49 |
Even if it takes a big fight. |
00:45:53 |
Well, then I guess you have to. |
00:45:56 |
There's another thing |
00:45:59 |
I don't know how you feel |
00:46:04 |
But I've been thinking... |
00:46:07 |
I've been thinking we should |
00:46:11 |
- Oh, Wade. |
00:46:17 |
- You've been married twice. |
00:46:21 |
I was just a kid. |
00:46:23 |
It's not like |
00:46:28 |
It's just a thought, an idea. |
00:46:30 |
Something for you and me |
00:46:36 |
- All right. I'll think about it. |
00:46:44 |
[Pop] |
00:46:48 |
My God, have I got sons! |
00:46:52 |
Wade? Rolfe? |
00:46:56 |
Elbourne? |
00:46:59 |
You love me, boys? |
00:47:01 |
You love your Pop? |
00:47:04 |
[Chuckling] |
00:47:06 |
Of course you do. |
00:47:09 |
Glen, come on, please. |
00:47:13 |
Oh, Christ, Sally! |
00:47:16 |
You are such a good person. |
00:47:20 |
Capital "G." |
00:47:22 |
By God, you are... |
00:47:27 |
I who am no goddamn good at all. |
00:47:33 |
And you, |
00:47:35 |
you are a truly good person... |
00:47:38 |
like a fucking saint! |
00:47:41 |
Fucking beyond compare! |
00:47:44 |
- Glen, don't. Come on. |
00:47:49 |
Whoa! My, my, |
00:47:53 |
bursting out of the seams |
00:47:55 |
- You little prick! |
00:48:00 |
[Mom, Wade Crying] |
00:48:07 |
Yeah, well... |
00:48:10 |
[Margie] |
00:48:14 |
Don't you think it's proper for a fella |
00:48:17 |
I know your parents. |
00:48:19 |
I just gotta pick up my divorce papers |
00:48:24 |
You're really gonna do that? |
00:48:27 |
- Yeah! |
00:48:30 |
I think you'll be sorry. I think you'll |
00:48:34 |
Maybe. But I'd be a hell |
00:48:38 |
Kids grow up fast |
00:48:40 |
You get old, your kids are strangers. |
00:48:45 |
Your father's not like you. |
00:48:49 |
That's my whole point. |
00:48:52 |
I don't want to get into that. |
00:48:54 |
And Lillian's not like your mother. |
00:48:57 |
She'll fight you like a she-bear. |
00:49:00 |
If Lillian had been like my mother, |
00:49:37 |
Are you sure they're home? |
00:49:38 |
Well, the truck's still here. |
00:49:40 |
Looks like they stayed inside |
00:49:48 |
That's strange. |
00:49:51 |
You think they're all right? |
00:49:53 |
Yeah, of course. |
00:49:55 |
- How? |
00:50:08 |
Pop? |
00:50:10 |
[Wade] |
00:50:13 |
Huh? |
00:50:17 |
Oh. |
00:50:36 |
Jesus, Pop, how can you stand the cold, |
00:50:41 |
Huh? Oh. |
00:50:44 |
Where's Ma? |
00:50:47 |
Ah, she's sleeping. |
00:50:52 |
Oh. |
00:50:55 |
You remember Margie Fogg? |
00:50:59 |
Oh. From Wickham's? |
00:51:02 |
Hello, Mr. Whitehouse. |
00:51:04 |
Ah. You, ah, like |
00:51:08 |
No, thanks. |
00:51:11 |
How are you and Ma doing? |
00:51:13 |
We're all right. |
00:51:17 |
Uh, she's sleeping. |
00:51:21 |
- Yeah. |
00:51:29 |
Jesus. Nothing's |
00:51:31 |
- It's freezing in here. |
00:51:35 |
Close the door would help. |
00:51:38 |
Don't. It's bad for you. |
00:51:47 |
- Maybe they're too old |
00:51:51 |
[Footsteps, Pop Coughing] |
00:51:55 |
Where's Mom? |
00:51:57 |
Ah, she's comin'. |
00:51:59 |
[Margie] Have you been heating |
00:52:03 |
Well, there's a furnace here. |
00:52:06 |
- You're not using it today? |
00:52:11 |
It's broken or something. |
00:52:13 |
There's an electric |
00:52:17 |
Maybe Wade oughta take a look at it. |
00:52:21 |
- Would you do that, Wade? |
00:52:33 |
Ah... |
00:52:46 |
Ma? |
00:52:54 |
Ma? |
00:53:03 |
[Whispering] |
00:53:07 |
Ma, come on, wake up. |
00:53:15 |
[Whispering] |
00:53:18 |
Oh, Lord. |
00:53:21 |
Oh, Jesus. |
00:53:32 |
Wade? |
00:53:46 |
Is, uh... |
00:53:52 |
[Sighs] |
00:53:54 |
Yep. |
00:53:56 |
When did she die? |
00:54:00 |
I checked on her. |
00:54:02 |
I brought the electric up. |
00:54:06 |
The cold bothers her |
00:54:10 |
That's why I brought |
00:54:13 |
- Don't you have a telephone? |
00:54:17 |
Why didn't you call |
00:54:20 |
Oh, Wade. |
00:54:27 |
Till this morning, she was. |
00:54:32 |
It makes me sad! |
00:54:34 |
Is there anything I can do? |
00:54:37 |
Makes me sad it was her |
00:54:39 |
God! |
00:54:42 |
Oh. |
00:54:50 |
I should've froze. |
00:55:07 |
[Rolfe Narrating] |
00:55:10 |
I knew it was Wade. |
00:55:14 |
And I was ready to listen to another |
00:55:19 |
There was the detective story concerning |
00:55:22 |
and the family melodrama |
00:55:27 |
But not this time. |
00:55:29 |
Wade was telling |
00:55:33 |
one in which I myself was a character. |
00:55:36 |
He had called to tell me |
00:55:38 |
he had discovered |
00:55:41 |
and he'd discovered the body |
00:55:46 |
It was left to me to tell |
00:55:51 |
who'd gone overweight and |
00:55:58 |
Pop was okay, but out of it. |
00:56:01 |
Worse than usual, maybe, |
00:56:12 |
[Woman] |
00:56:15 |
No, I'm not. |
00:56:19 |
But then you'll be in hell. |
00:56:21 |
I guess I will. |
00:56:23 |
Me and Mom and Wade and Pop. |
00:56:27 |
We'll all be there together. |
00:56:29 |
[Wade] |
00:56:33 |
Well, pointless to stand around |
00:56:37 |
What about Jill? |
00:56:41 |
They'll be at the church |
00:56:44 |
Anyone else want another beer? |
00:56:47 |
No, thanks. |
00:56:52 |
Yeah, I forgot. Sorry. |
00:56:57 |
How are you holding up, Wade? |
00:57:00 |
Oh, I'm fine. |
00:57:02 |
- Are you Rolfe? |
00:57:05 |
Gordon. Gordon LaRiviere. |
00:57:09 |
You're a teacher now? Hmm? |
00:57:11 |
- Harvard? |
00:57:14 |
Oh. I don't see you around. |
00:57:17 |
I don't suppose there's much reason |
00:57:22 |
- Come on, Pop. |
00:57:27 |
- Join us. |
00:57:30 |
Reverend? |
00:57:32 |
Let's kneel for a moment of prayer |
00:57:36 |
Wade? Rolfe? |
00:57:41 |
- [Whispering] This is nuts. |
00:57:49 |
- Jesus in heaven, |
00:57:51 |
We come to Thee on our knees, |
00:57:55 |
And thanking Thee for |
00:57:59 |
We thank Thee, whose blood |
00:58:03 |
- [Lena] Praise the Lord! |
00:58:05 |
Oh, God, not one of you |
00:58:11 |
Please look down upon this woman, |
00:58:15 |
and make her example |
00:58:17 |
Not one of you is worth a goddamned hair |
00:58:22 |
- Pop! |
00:58:25 |
- I'll head on to the church. |
00:58:29 |
- Pop, it's no big deal. |
00:58:34 |
I just... Tell me... |
00:58:37 |
there's a single one of you |
00:58:42 |
- Pop? |
00:58:44 |
Jesus is more powerful |
00:58:47 |
- Oh, go fuck yourself! |
00:58:51 |
Yeah, just listen |
00:58:56 |
"Wade, just leave it." |
00:58:59 |
Candy-asses. |
00:59:03 |
All of you. |
00:59:05 |
That's what I've got for children. |
00:59:09 |
Jesus freaks and candy-asses! |
00:59:12 |
Oh. "Just leave it, Wade. |
00:59:16 |
Praise the Lord! |
00:59:20 |
- Stop, Glen Whitehouse! |
00:59:26 |
If you ever touch her again, |
00:59:33 |
[Pop] You're still standing up |
00:59:41 |
[Reverend] |
00:59:46 |
[Rolfe Narrating] |
00:59:49 |
The snow line had descended |
00:59:52 |
and was now well south of Lawford, |
00:59:54 |
creeping across New Hampshire |
00:59:58 |
[Reverend] In sure and certain hope |
01:00:02 |
through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
01:00:07 |
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, |
01:00:10 |
dust to dust. |
01:00:12 |
Amen. |
01:00:16 |
Pop, let's go back to the house. |
01:00:27 |
- Hey, Dad. |
01:00:31 |
[Coughs] |
01:00:38 |
I'm glad you came. |
01:00:40 |
Can you stay for a while? |
01:00:43 |
No. |
01:00:53 |
You ever go to |
01:00:57 |
No, not anymore. |
01:00:59 |
It's too far. |
01:01:06 |
We should talk. |
01:01:08 |
- We've done all our talking, Wade. |
01:01:10 |
No, please don't. |
01:01:17 |
I'm sorry about your mother. |
01:01:20 |
I really liked her. |
01:01:24 |
You never know how much |
01:01:27 |
Like they live their whole lives |
01:01:33 |
Then they're gone. |
01:01:41 |
- Mom? |
01:01:44 |
- She's got an ice skating |
01:01:48 |
[Chuckles] |
01:01:51 |
- Figure skating, I suppose. |
01:01:55 |
That's great. |
01:02:04 |
Well... |
01:02:07 |
Good-bye, Dad. |
01:02:27 |
[Car Engine Revving] |
01:02:34 |
- What about Margie? |
01:02:38 |
You still plan on |
01:02:40 |
Oh, yeah. She'll probably quit her job |
01:02:45 |
We can't leave him alone anymore. |
01:02:47 |
He'll probably set |
01:02:50 |
And with Jill here a lot, |
01:02:54 |
[Grunts] |
01:02:56 |
Things are gonna change |
01:02:59 |
I got a custody lawyer down in Concord. |
01:03:02 |
All hell's gonna break loose, but it'll |
01:03:15 |
- [Engine Revving] |
01:03:19 |
I don't want the bastard drivin' drunk. |
01:03:21 |
He's drunk all the time now. |
01:03:24 |
After, we'll hide the keys. |
01:03:27 |
Anything new about |
01:03:29 |
No. I guess it was an accident |
01:03:33 |
Want to know what |
01:03:36 |
You find them everywhere. |
01:03:38 |
I think your first response |
01:03:52 |
- Which is? |
01:03:57 |
Well, then who shot him? |
01:03:59 |
Your friend, I think. Jack Hewitt. |
01:04:01 |
[Chuckling] |
01:04:03 |
Come on, Rolfe. |
01:04:06 |
- Money. |
01:04:09 |
Not the mob. |
01:04:12 |
Who else benefits |
01:04:20 |
- I don't know. You tell me. |
01:04:23 |
It's likely there are people |
01:04:28 |
That probably includes his son-in-law, |
01:04:31 |
and will probably be |
01:04:34 |
- I read that in the papers. |
01:04:37 |
- Mel Gordon, right. |
01:04:40 |
Okay, here's my theory. |
01:04:43 |
Twombley, he doesn't know |
01:04:46 |
and he starts to nose around because |
01:04:51 |
Finds out his son-in-law is involved. |
01:04:54 |
So Mel Gordon wouldn't want |
01:04:57 |
That makes the Feds dig deeper. |
01:05:01 |
A hunting accident's perfect. |
01:05:04 |
[Chuckling] Around here, |
01:05:07 |
you say it was an accident, |
01:05:12 |
And Jack, he... |
01:05:16 |
Jack's probably sayin' the guy shot |
01:05:19 |
and he don't want |
01:05:23 |
Nah. That's too neat. |
01:05:27 |
- Some things are. |
01:05:32 |
It's what happened. |
01:05:39 |
That makes me mad. |
01:05:42 |
That somebody can shoot somebody, |
01:05:45 |
and not be punished for it. |
01:05:47 |
- Don't that piss you off? |
01:05:50 |
Right's right, goddamn it. Jesus, Rolfe. |
01:05:53 |
I care about what happened. |
01:05:56 |
The truth. |
01:05:59 |
Remember, I'm a student |
01:06:14 |
I've been thinkin' about |
01:06:17 |
about Pop... |
01:06:19 |
and chopping the firewood |
01:06:27 |
I don't want to disappoint you, |
01:06:32 |
- You don't think I'd remember |
01:06:35 |
I wasn't there. |
01:06:39 |
Elbourne, Jesus. We'd have |
01:06:42 |
And Elbourne and Mom |
01:06:46 |
and told him |
01:06:50 |
[Laughing] |
01:06:55 |
No, I remember clearly because... |
01:06:58 |
after I heard, I became |
01:07:04 |
I was a careful child... |
01:07:07 |
and I became a careful adult. |
01:07:10 |
But at least I was never afflicted |
01:07:19 |
[Laughing] |
01:07:21 |
That's what you think. |
01:07:30 |
Ahh! |
01:07:33 |
I better head back. |
01:07:36 |
All right. |
01:07:38 |
Okay. |
01:07:46 |
[Jack] |
01:07:48 |
Put out that cigarette! |
01:07:52 |
[LaRiviere] |
01:07:56 |
- Morning, Gordon. |
01:07:58 |
Hey, Jack. |
01:08:01 |
- I'm fuckin' out of here. |
01:08:03 |
Out of this fucking job. |
01:08:06 |
Workin' outside |
01:08:08 |
- Open the door, will you? |
01:08:12 |
- Open the door. We're late. |
01:08:15 |
You got enough money now. |
01:08:19 |
- And you digging wells in the snow. |
01:08:24 |
- I'm as broke as you. |
01:08:37 |
[Wade] |
01:09:05 |
[Elaine] |
01:09:07 |
- Is the boss in? |
01:09:38 |
[Wade] |
01:09:42 |
I agreed to everything |
01:09:46 |
I just wanted her to like me. |
01:09:49 |
I wanted to be a good father. |
01:09:53 |
I have the documents. |
01:09:57 |
You know, |
01:09:59 |
It would help if you were married, |
01:10:03 |
I plan to soon. |
01:10:07 |
How soon? |
01:10:09 |
- Next spring. |
01:10:12 |
if there was some change in circumstance |
01:10:15 |
if there was some drug or alcohol abuse |
01:10:21 |
Sexual problems upsetting the child. |
01:10:24 |
But these are the things |
01:10:32 |
- Does it have to get that messy? |
01:10:36 |
This is just the tip of the iceberg, |
01:10:39 |
I hope you understand |
01:10:43 |
Looks kind of hopeless, don't it? |
01:10:45 |
No, not really. I'll have |
01:10:49 |
see if we can get it redrawn. |
01:10:51 |
But at some point, I'm going |
01:10:55 |
- It's Jill, right? |
01:10:59 |
You got an ashtray? |
01:11:06 |
I'll need a $500 retainer. |
01:11:10 |
You can just mail it to me. |
01:11:12 |
[Exhales] |
01:11:14 |
- How much is the whole thing |
01:11:18 |
But if we go for custody, there's |
01:11:22 |
But if we just want to get |
01:11:26 |
assuming they're unduly restrictive, |
01:11:31 |
Oh. |
01:11:34 |
It might be in your best interest |
01:11:39 |
I know. The custody thing wasn't |
01:11:43 |
I'm not as dumb as I look. |
01:11:46 |
I didn't say you |
01:11:53 |
I love my daughter. |
01:12:01 |
[Wade] |
01:12:03 |
My transmission's going out again. |
01:12:05 |
Did you ever think about |
01:12:09 |
On what you pay me? |
01:12:13 |
Elaine, call Chub Merritt, have him pick |
01:12:16 |
[Elaine] |
01:12:18 |
Call Chub Merritt, have him pick up |
01:12:23 |
I'll bill the repair |
01:12:27 |
You can use my four-by-four. |
01:12:31 |
You're the town police officer. |
01:12:33 |
The town police officer |
01:12:38 |
Well, you want a new car or not? |
01:12:41 |
- What do I have to do for it? |
01:12:44 |
You know, Wade, |
01:12:46 |
You don't get enough |
01:12:49 |
- Uh-uh. I saw Mel Gordon |
01:12:54 |
He say anything about |
01:12:59 |
- Wade, "dat" wasn't smart. |
01:13:01 |
Going out right after |
01:13:04 |
It's pronounced "that," |
01:13:08 |
- That. |
01:13:11 |
Let it go. |
01:13:14 |
You? Why? |
01:13:16 |
Well, Mel's doing |
01:13:18 |
It's nice to do a favor for people |
01:13:21 |
He was in a hurry. |
01:13:23 |
- That was before Twombley |
01:13:28 |
Take my truck, take a rest. |
01:13:37 |
Have you decided what to do |
01:13:40 |
You oughta sell it, |
01:13:43 |
- You wanna buy? |
01:13:46 |
- I won't. You interested? |
01:13:48 |
- You and Mel Gordon? |
01:13:50 |
- Always count on Wade |
01:13:54 |
Why should you guys make all the money? |
01:13:58 |
- Right's right. |
01:14:03 |
Get out of here |
01:14:07 |
[Coughs] |
01:15:28 |
[Truck Door Closes] |
01:15:59 |
[Rolfe's Voice] |
01:16:03 |
Anything new |
01:16:06 |
I think your first response |
01:16:08 |
Your friend, I think. Jack Hewitt. |
01:16:10 |
Money. Hunting accident. |
01:16:14 |
- [Jack's Voice] |
01:16:17 |
[Wade] Remember, it may have happened, |
01:16:20 |
It's what happened |
01:16:28 |
[Rolfe] Twombley's sudden death. |
01:16:33 |
[Wade] |
01:17:02 |
You crazy son of a bitch! |
01:17:07 |
Get off the fuckin' ice! |
01:17:09 |
Get off! |
01:17:16 |
What're you runnin' from, Jack? |
01:17:19 |
We're gonna talk. |
01:17:29 |
Stay back. I'll shoot you. |
01:17:33 |
I'll fuckin' shoot you dead |
01:17:36 |
You ain't shootin' shit. |
01:17:40 |
Tell me what happened. |
01:17:41 |
Don't move! |
01:17:46 |
[Chuckles] |
01:17:48 |
[Gun Cocks, Rifle Shots] |
01:18:34 |
[Groaning] |
01:18:52 |
[Groaning] |
01:19:08 |
Thanks a lot. |
01:19:23 |
Stop that! |
01:19:25 |
Who? Me? |
01:19:28 |
[Sighs] |
01:19:31 |
Just look what a good job I done here. |
01:19:34 |
You haven't done anything. I should've |
01:19:37 |
Damn right you should have. |
01:19:41 |
It's about time. |
01:19:43 |
Your father's here. |
01:19:45 |
She moved in with you, huh? |
01:19:48 |
- What happened? |
01:19:51 |
My, my, my. |
01:19:54 |
About fuckin' time too. |
01:19:56 |
I got me a new job. |
01:19:59 |
Pop, for chrissake, |
01:20:01 |
I'm sorry. I got waylaid. |
01:20:07 |
The hell you got waylaid. |
01:20:09 |
You follow your prick around |
01:20:12 |
Can it, Whitehouse. |
01:20:15 |
- It was funny at first, but I'm tired. |
01:20:19 |
What home is that? |
01:20:23 |
You're a fuckin' sly, Wade. |
01:20:27 |
Now, your mom's dead. She can't |
01:20:31 |
You've got to deal with me now. |
01:20:36 |
- For chrissake, Pop. Let's go home. |
01:20:40 |
- Get out of this fast. |
01:20:43 |
Are you pushing me? |
01:20:48 |
- Come on. My God. |
01:20:52 |
- You think you can take me now? |
01:20:56 |
- Just get in the car. |
01:20:59 |
Just get in the car. |
01:21:01 |
- Get in. Just get in. |
01:21:05 |
[Pop] |
01:21:07 |
You never could stand up |
01:21:10 |
Goddamn it! |
01:21:12 |
- You could never understand |
01:21:17 |
Oh, stop it! |
01:21:57 |
[Wade's Voice] No shit, Rolfe. |
01:22:00 |
only it was me. |
01:22:03 |
But it was like |
01:22:06 |
It was a stranger's face. |
01:22:09 |
You fly on automatic pilot, like I was |
01:22:15 |
Then you accidentally see your body, |
01:22:20 |
and you don't know |
01:22:24 |
Strange. |
01:22:26 |
It's the business with the old man, |
01:22:31 |
and chasing Jack Hewitt |
01:22:36 |
One thing on top of another. |
01:22:39 |
[Rolfe] |
01:22:42 |
You gotta hear this. |
01:22:44 |
Mel Gordon had come by |
01:22:48 |
So they're in the office. |
01:22:50 |
Mel Gordon realized |
01:22:54 |
Mel thinks he can buy me off. |
01:22:56 |
But LaRiviere, |
01:23:00 |
Mel Gordon may be able |
01:23:04 |
But not me. |
01:23:06 |
How could a guy like Jack Hewitt |
01:23:29 |
- [Alma] Coffee? |
01:23:32 |
- You want milk and sugar? |
01:23:35 |
I like it this way. |
01:23:38 |
You got yourself |
01:23:41 |
I've been putting |
01:23:48 |
You all right, Wade? |
01:23:50 |
Yeah. I got this damn tooth. |
01:23:56 |
Got a few things bugging me, |
01:24:01 |
I'm okay. |
01:24:03 |
I don't mean to pry. |
01:24:07 |
I'm sorry about your mother. |
01:24:12 |
It's over now. |
01:24:15 |
Alma, |
01:24:18 |
I think there's some dirty business |
01:24:22 |
I know that. |
01:24:24 |
No, no. I think this is a little worse |
01:24:29 |
I'm talkin' about murder, |
01:24:33 |
- Who? |
01:24:36 |
The union boss official |
01:24:38 |
- Somebody murdered him. |
01:24:41 |
[Clears Throat] |
01:24:43 |
You know Jack Hewitt, |
01:24:48 |
Well, I think Jack shot him. |
01:24:51 |
You know, Twombley was |
01:24:56 |
That's a friend of LaRiviere's. |
01:24:58 |
I don't know what |
01:25:01 |
but LaRiviere had Jack |
01:25:04 |
pretending it was an accident. |
01:25:06 |
[Rifle Shot] |
01:25:08 |
If Jack told the truth, he could |
01:25:15 |
Sometimes things |
01:25:17 |
- Let me ask you a question. |
01:25:21 |
About Jack? No. |
01:25:24 |
Have you checked out the tax bill |
01:25:31 |
Um, I know he's been due |
01:25:35 |
I was thinkin' of paying it |
01:25:39 |
Has anybody offered to buy it? |
01:25:42 |
Yeah. Matter of fact, LaRiviere. |
01:25:49 |
These are all |
01:25:53 |
Most of it is unused land. Most of it is |
01:25:58 |
How's Lillian? |
01:26:00 |
She's fine. |
01:26:03 |
That's three years ago. |
01:26:05 |
It's quite a difference, hmm? |
01:26:07 |
What's the North Country |
01:26:11 |
Went down to Concord. |
01:26:13 |
Mel Gordon is the president. |
01:26:15 |
And the vice president |
01:26:19 |
They're buying up the whole mountain. |
01:26:25 |
I believe that's a little |
01:26:29 |
- Is Twombley involved? |
01:26:34 |
Hmm. |
01:26:38 |
He must've found out. |
01:26:42 |
They had to get rid of him. |
01:26:45 |
And Jack... |
01:26:48 |
All these figures show is that... |
01:26:51 |
Gordon LaRiviere is gonna be a very rich |
01:26:55 |
In a year or two, |
01:26:59 |
Oh, boy. Oh, boy! |
01:27:19 |
You sneaky son of a bitch! |
01:27:22 |
All these years |
01:27:26 |
Can you believe that? Grateful! |
01:27:29 |
- You're fired! |
01:27:31 |
- We're his slaves. We're alike. |
01:27:35 |
- Are you a quitter? Quitter! |
01:27:40 |
I give it with pleasure. |
01:27:42 |
- You're not on my back anymore. |
01:27:46 |
I'll handle this. |
01:27:51 |
Break it up! Wade! |
01:27:55 |
You ain't gettin' away with this! |
01:27:58 |
Stay out of it, Jimmy. You're fired. |
01:28:02 |
Wade, get out of here! Just go! |
01:28:06 |
I gotta call my brother. |
01:28:09 |
[Door Closes] |
01:28:14 |
[Wade's Voice] |
01:28:18 |
- [Rolfe's Voice] Why? For what? |
01:28:21 |
To nail those sons of bitches. |
01:28:24 |
That's what Alma calls them. |
01:28:28 |
[Rolfe] Wade, listen. |
01:28:33 |
the things that are distracting you |
01:28:36 |
Call Chub Merritt, |
01:28:39 |
Call a dentist |
01:28:42 |
Forget about the hunting accident. |
01:28:44 |
Let it go. |
01:28:49 |
- [Groaning] |
01:28:51 |
- Chick. |
01:28:56 |
- The bad news... |
01:28:59 |
The bad news is there's a problem with |
01:29:03 |
- Figured you'd know |
01:29:07 |
LaRiviere says he ain't gonna pay |
01:29:10 |
It's a couple hundred |
01:29:13 |
I got more bad news. |
01:29:15 |
- Yeah, tell me. |
01:29:18 |
He can't fire me. |
01:29:21 |
Your other job for the town. |
01:29:23 |
Chub's a selectman. Said to turn |
01:29:31 |
What do you mean you can't |
01:29:35 |
Shit! Shit! Shit! |
01:29:38 |
- [Margie] Wade? |
01:29:40 |
What in the world |
01:29:43 |
- Why are you acting this way? |
01:29:48 |
I can't even think anymore |
01:29:51 |
You got fired this morning, |
01:29:55 |
Margie, look. |
01:29:58 |
There's so much shit that's gonna |
01:30:01 |
and my getting fired by LaRiviere |
01:30:12 |
I'll get another job. |
01:30:15 |
People are gonna need me. |
01:30:17 |
they're gonna make me |
01:30:20 |
You wait, you'll see. I'll deliver. |
01:30:25 |
You need me. Even Pop! |
01:30:28 |
This town needs me! |
01:30:31 |
I'll get another job. |
01:30:34 |
they think they can send me howling |
01:30:38 |
But by God, |
01:30:43 |
Always been a whiner. God! |
01:30:46 |
Now, my old man, there was... |
01:30:52 |
He let no woman push him around. |
01:30:56 |
Worked till the day he died. |
01:31:01 |
Yeah, men like him |
01:31:07 |
And women knew their place. |
01:31:13 |
Women respected men then. |
01:31:16 |
Be careful what you say, |
01:31:18 |
I know you. |
01:31:23 |
Oh, what she went through. |
01:31:25 |
Don't you sass me, damn it! |
01:31:29 |
You think you're |
01:31:32 |
Well, you're gettin' old too. |
01:31:34 |
And there's not a goddamn thing |
01:31:40 |
Is there? |
01:31:46 |
[Laughing] |
01:31:57 |
- [Groans] |
01:32:00 |
- Sure. |
01:32:29 |
[Grunts] |
01:32:37 |
[Panting] |
01:32:55 |
[Sighing] |
01:33:05 |
[Rolfe Narrating] |
01:33:07 |
terrible things |
01:33:09 |
You will say |
01:33:12 |
But even so, what could |
01:33:17 |
Wade lived on the edge |
01:33:21 |
He was always first to receive |
01:33:25 |
He had no perspective |
01:33:27 |
even in a crisis. |
01:33:57 |
[Coughs] |
01:34:09 |
[Doorbell Chiming] |
01:34:21 |
Wait there. |
01:34:23 |
I thought we'd go |
01:34:26 |
- Get your boots. |
01:34:29 |
- Have her home tomorrow night by 6:00. |
01:34:33 |
Lillian, I'm sorry. I had |
01:34:37 |
- God, you make me sick. |
01:34:40 |
I can't believe |
01:34:42 |
- Low as what? What have I done? |
01:34:46 |
Yeah. Is that bad to want |
01:34:49 |
Don't play dumb. |
01:34:51 |
For what this will do to her, |
01:34:56 |
Love, Wade? |
01:34:59 |
Really? Shame on you! |
01:35:02 |
Shame on you. |
01:35:04 |
- [Footsteps Approaching] |
01:35:10 |
Are we going in this? |
01:35:12 |
Yeah, my car's in the shop. |
01:35:15 |
- It's pretty old. |
01:35:20 |
- Pop? |
01:35:23 |
Pop. It's his. |
01:35:26 |
Yeah. |
01:35:31 |
[Wade] |
01:35:34 |
Mom won't let me eat fast food. |
01:35:38 |
Come on. We can always sneak |
01:35:44 |
- And a cherry turnover. |
01:35:48 |
- What do you want then? |
01:35:51 |
Come on, you can't have nothing. |
01:35:54 |
- Mr. Pizzeria? |
01:35:56 |
- Mom says all that food is bad for you. |
01:36:02 |
I'm in charge today, okay? |
01:36:04 |
Okay. We'll get what you want. |
01:36:08 |
What do I want? |
01:36:13 |
I guess I can wait till we get home. |
01:36:16 |
- Okay. |
01:36:20 |
[Sighs] |
01:36:25 |
Are you okay? |
01:36:27 |
Ah, Jillie, come on. |
01:36:31 |
Don't get sad on me. |
01:36:34 |
- I'm sorry. |
01:36:39 |
What am I sorry for? |
01:36:41 |
Well, I don't know. |
01:36:45 |
I just thought we'd sneak a Big Mac |
01:36:50 |
I wanna go home. |
01:36:52 |
[Sighs] |
01:36:56 |
- You can't. |
01:36:59 |
That's illegal, you know. |
01:37:01 |
I know. |
01:37:04 |
You're a policeman. |
01:37:06 |
No, not anymore. |
01:37:10 |
I'm nothin' anymore. |
01:37:28 |
Here we go. |
01:37:32 |
So, what do we want? |
01:37:34 |
Come on, Jillie, what do we want? |
01:37:36 |
We want a cheese |
01:37:39 |
It's called |
01:37:47 |
[Jill Gasps] |
01:37:53 |
- Jill! Jill, I'm sorry. |
01:37:55 |
Honey, nothin' happened. |
01:37:58 |
- I wanna go home. |
01:38:02 |
We'll go home right now. |
01:38:06 |
Let's go. Come on. |
01:38:10 |
Wade, I got a message for ya. |
01:38:15 |
He wants you to clear your stuff |
01:38:18 |
- His office? You mean my old office. |
01:38:24 |
I'd stay away from him |
01:38:27 |
He's real pissed. |
01:38:31 |
[Woman] |
01:39:27 |
You goin' somewhere, Margie? |
01:39:30 |
I'm just clearing out some of the stuff |
01:39:34 |
And some of it's |
01:39:39 |
Don't lie to me, Marge. |
01:39:42 |
Don't be silly. |
01:39:46 |
Hi, Jill. |
01:39:52 |
[Sighs] |
01:39:54 |
Marge. |
01:40:08 |
- [Crying] |
01:40:12 |
Oh. Oh. |
01:40:16 |
Leave me alone! |
01:40:18 |
- Leave me alone! |
01:40:23 |
Leave her alone! |
01:40:36 |
- I wanna go home. |
01:40:42 |
Jill? |
01:41:12 |
[Laughing] |
01:41:14 |
Oh, my. |
01:41:16 |
You! By Christ! |
01:41:21 |
You! I know you! |
01:41:23 |
[Laughing] |
01:41:25 |
Ah, yes. |
01:41:27 |
You. Yeah, you goddamn... |
01:41:31 |
son of a bitch. |
01:41:33 |
I know you. |
01:41:36 |
You're my blood. You're a goddamn |
01:41:41 |
You don't know me. |
01:41:44 |
You don't know me. |
01:41:47 |
Fuck you. |
01:41:49 |
Fuck you! |
01:41:52 |
You done finally done it. |
01:41:56 |
Done it right. |
01:42:00 |
Just the way I taught ya. |
01:42:03 |
Oh, goddamn! |
01:42:07 |
I love you, |
01:42:10 |
- I do. |
01:42:14 |
Love? Hell, |
01:42:18 |
Call it what you want. |
01:42:21 |
Everything you know... |
01:42:23 |
- comes from me. |
01:42:26 |
Bang! |
01:42:30 |
You and me! |
01:42:33 |
Where the hell you goin'? |
01:42:36 |
Where you goin', Wade? Best you leave |
01:42:40 |
Wade, I need to... |
01:42:44 |
Wade! I need to get to town. |
01:42:47 |
Crawl. |
01:42:50 |
There's hardly any booze left in |
01:42:55 |
Hey! |
01:42:57 |
It's my house, my money, |
01:43:01 |
my goddamn truck! |
01:43:04 |
Stolen! |
01:43:11 |
You and me. |
01:43:14 |
You and me. |
01:43:18 |
I don't know you. |
01:43:20 |
My own goddamn father, |
01:43:24 |
[Scoffs] |
01:43:44 |
Don't you sass me, goddamn it. |
01:43:50 |
[Laughs] |
01:43:55 |
[Yelling] |
01:43:57 |
[Gasping] |
01:44:10 |
I love you too. |
01:44:18 |
[Rifle Clicks] |
01:44:20 |
Ha. Joke. |
01:44:28 |
Pop? |
01:44:43 |
Pop? |
01:44:48 |
Dad. |
01:44:54 |
Dad. |
01:45:13 |
[Sniffles] |
01:48:10 |
Ahh. |
01:48:34 |
[Rolfe Narrating] The historical facts |
01:48:38 |
All of Lawford, all of New Hampshire, |
01:48:43 |
Facts do not make history. |
01:48:46 |
Our stories, Wade's and mine, |
01:48:49 |
describe the lives of the boys and men |
01:48:54 |
Boys who were beaten |
01:48:56 |
whose capacity for love and trust |
01:49:01 |
men whose best hope for connection |
01:49:04 |
lay in detachment... |
01:49:06 |
as if life were over. |
01:49:09 |
It's how we keep from destroying |
01:49:13 |
and terrorizing the women |
01:49:16 |
how we absent ourselves from |
01:49:20 |
how we decline |
01:49:24 |
Jack's truck turned up three days later |
01:49:29 |
- Wade killed Jack... |
01:49:32 |
Just as surely as Jack |
01:49:36 |
even accidentally. |
01:49:39 |
The link between Jack and Twombley, |
01:49:44 |
existed only |
01:49:47 |
And briefly, I admit, |
01:49:52 |
LaRiviere and Mel Gordon |
01:49:56 |
The Parker Mountain Ski Resort |
01:50:01 |
The community of Lawford, |
01:50:05 |
It is an economic zone |
01:50:10 |
The house is still in Wade's name, |
01:50:14 |
It remains empty. |
01:50:16 |
Now and then I drive out there |
01:50:20 |
and wonder why not let it go. |
01:50:23 |
Why not let LaRiviere buy it and |
01:50:29 |
We want to believe Wade died |
01:50:33 |
froze to death on a bench |
01:50:37 |
You cannot understand |
01:50:39 |
a normal man, a man like you and me, |
01:50:45 |
Unless the police happen |
01:50:50 |
there will be |
01:50:54 |
Or his friend Jack Hewitt. |
01:50:57 |
Or our father. |
01:51:00 |
The story will be over, |
01:51:03 |
except that I continue. |
