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.

00:26:15 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,
00:26:33 Gordon's looking for any reason
00:26:37 That border jumper's got too much money
00:26:39 [Man] I'll tell you who's a pisser.
00:26:42 He was mean normal.
00:26:44 But when he drank,
00:26:48 Brown's Canadian.
00:26:53 One Christmas, there was this cord
00:26:57 He decides he's gonna have
00:27:00 Except it's been out back
00:27:04 He grabs the boys, throws them outside.
00:27:08 Oh! Come on, move it.
00:27:12 Daylight in the swamp.
00:27:15 - Pop, the kids are waiting for us.
00:27:20 A lesson in work

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
00:28:22 The pity is, someday
00:28:27 'cause you're the only one
00:28:49 [Pop Grunts, Door Opens]
00:28:52 We'll work at it, we promise.
00:28:57 - I think I made a point.
00:28:59 What was that, Wade?
00:29:02 You say something?
00:29:05 You got something to say, say it.
00:29:09 You no good pup!

00:29:38 # About him ##
00:29:40 [Wade]
00:29:43 The sign.
00:29:46 Looks like it's spelled wrong
00:29:49 Ahh. Wade, Wade. It's people like you
00:29:54 I'm not finding fault. It's good
00:29:56 - It's a good idea.
00:29:59 What did you do? Hire one of
00:30:03 Think you're gettin'
00:30:05 only it turns out to be
00:30:07 Whatever somebody does to improve things
00:30:12 - Is that it?
00:30:14 I'm only sayin' there's something wrong
00:30:18 The sign's fine.
00:30:22 Who needs it? Everybody that
00:30:25 What do we need
00:30:27 But I guess it's better
00:30:29 - What was there before?
00:30:34 There was nothin' here before.
00:30:37 Hmm.
00:30:41 - You okay?
00:30:45 I'm sorry about what I said.
00:30:48 - What'd you say?
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.
