It's the worst winter storm
to hit parts of the northwest.
If the model holds true the Interstate 84 corridor area
will be in the bull's eye.
Spokane, Helena, Boise and even Seattle
could also get buried in a 24 hour period
and could top the so called Knickerbocker Storm,
the region's worst on record.
Was after a theater
where the roof...
killing 100 people.
In more recent memory, there was Snowpocalypse
and Snowmageddon in 20...
Storms just days apart crippled the northeast.
These are all...
Tracking what's to come-- (radio static buzzing)
- [Man On Radio] Tom, how confident are you
this is going to be one for the history books?
- [Tom] Steve, Steve, here's a word of advice.
I know you gotta show the rest of the week,
and you're showing Saturday.
Well, pack more than a weekend in a weekend bag.
The Knickerbocker Storm dropped 28 inches
and this could be more.
We are going to be hammered by--
(radio static buzzing)
Gale force winds and possible white out conditions
as the storm bails through the--
(radio static buzzing)
And it could come more than once.
We could have wave-- (radio static buzzing)
(video game music)
(weapons clanging in video game)
- Can't even get a signal out here.
- Did you mix the Ambien and the Xanax bottle?
I'm going to need something to sleep on the plane.
- I think you turn on the next one.
(radio static buzzing)
Guys, it's this one coming up.
- He's right.
Turn Paul.
And he's been here twice and he can remember.
What?
You're the one that wanted time alone.
- I thought we both did.
- Yeah.
(video game music)
(laughing)
(unsettling music)
(knocking on door)
(horn honking)
Not helpful.
(knocking on door)
- Ain't that something?
Her cousin dies and I turn it into alone time with your mom.
I hope you grow up to be smoother than me.
- That's okay.
(knocking on door)
- If we had more time we could've planned differently.
Try to enjoy yourself.
- Yeah.
- It'll be like that scout camp last summer.
- I hated that too.
- You aced everything there.
- Doesn't mean I liked it.
Dad. - Hmm?
- What's Mom doing?
(unsettling music)
- [Paul] Wait here.
(eerie music)
I can't wait to hear what I've done wrong now.
- You remember how I told you my mom died
of cancer when I was little?
Maybe Henry's age and then I went
to boarding schools after that.
- Yeah.
- Well, she didn't die of cancer, she killed herself.
(rope straining taut) (wings flapping)
- Jesus.
- My dad had an affair or something, he did something
and I don't like coming back here.
- Why would you lie about that?
- You're missing the point.
(unsettling music)
Hey Dad.
- Jacob.
You had us worried for a minute.
Thought you might've forgotten.
- I don't forget things.
- All right.
Well, I'll get Henry.
All right, let's go.
- You said you were dropping off a boy.
I see a full grown working man here.
- [Paul] So how's the cellphone reception out here?
- [Jacob] I wouldn't know.
- Right.
But you're neighbors got a landline in case--
- That's how I got your message.
- And you've got your cellphone Henry.
- Right here.
- Thanks for doing this Dad.
We appreciate it.
- Yes, thanks.
(grunting)
Well, we better get going.
- Yeah well don't let me keep you.
- [Mary] We're barely gonna make it as it is.
- Listen to your grandpa, call anytime.
- Don't baby the boy.
We'll be fine.
Get over here. - Hey.
You be good. - Yeah.
- We'll be back before you know it.
- Come on, let's get the work done.
This way.
(suspenseful music)
A fool dropped this stuff
two months late and in the wrong place.
Now, I need you to take it from here and put it in here.
- It stinks.
- It's manure, it's supposed to stink.
It's work, work ain't fun.
- What's this?
(unnerving music)
- That's my dog.
Loved that dog.
A while back I found it over by that stand of trees
and it had been... (birds crowing)
It was dead.
Waiting for the ground to thaw out
so I can give it a proper burial.
Now you get to work.
Yeah.
Come on.
(grunting)
Oh.
Damn it.
(metal clanging)
- I finished all the shoveling.
- All right.
(metal clanging)
Here.
- These all yours?
- Just throw it.
(metal clanging)
Grab another one.
Now wind up, but don't throw it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I want that kick up here, as high as you can go.
There you go.
Now, with this hand I want you
to come right over the top with this.
Look at me, look at me.
Come right over the top and finish as that leg goes down.
Okay? - Okay.
- All in one motion.
(metal clanging)
Do it again.
(metal clanging)
Finish all the way through now.
(metal clanging)
(grunting)
All right.
Enough play.
Get back to work.
Come on now.
(hammer thudding)
What are you doing?
- Nothing.
- Go over to the shed and get us some wood.
- How much?
- For you, two arm loads, all right?
(sniffling) (groaning)
(unsettling music) (groaning)
(metal clanging)
(groaning)
Get up you old softy.
(unsettling music)
(groaning)
Time to call it a day. (chuckling)
(eerie music)
- Want wood?
I heard him tell you that.
- Who are you?
- A friend of the old man's.
I help him out all the time.
I'm the one your mom talked to.
I'm the one she called.
I just live over there through the trees.
I should give you a tour of the place.
Come on.
It'll be fun.
(eerie music)
- [Jacob] Hey!
- I was just gonna show the kid around a little bit.
- Wood pile's over that way.
(thwacking)
(unsettling music)
- Okay.
(cat screeching)
(suspenseful music)
(banging on wood)
(cat screeching)
(unsettling music) (cat whining)
Smells good. (grunting)
How much longer?
(sighing)
Why don't you amuse yourself till then?
(dissonant piano music)
(door creaking open)
(suspenseful music)
(muffled talking on radio)
(eerie music)
What part of a locked door means welcome to you?
Hmm?
- Was this my mom's room?
- Yeah.
- I've never seen a picture of her as a kid before.
- She likes to pretend like it didn't exist.
Come on, get your butt downstairs.
Dinner's about to be served.
(grunting)
- Who was that guy today?
- He's almost like family.
Not like you though.
He's been around here since he was a kid.
I helped him out.
Now he helps me out.
Most of the time.
- He do something wrong today?
- No.
He just needs some reminding. (chuckling)
Come on now, don't wear the pattern off that.
- Okay.
(muffled talking on TV)
- Hey.
Show me the split finger.
Now the change up.
Get that thumb over a little closer to the forefinger.
Yeah.
Now the curve.
Not bad.
- Is this right for a knuckle ball?
- An arm like yours you don't need
to worry about junk like that.
Too unpredictable.
Stay with some regular pitches.
- Mom says you don't want to visit us.
- She says that?
- Yeah.
- Everybody's got a story son.
I guess that's hers.
Life's funny that way.
You're born, if you're lucky you get some stuff.
Most of it's going to break down.
You do your best to fix what you can, then you die.
(grunting)
(eerie music)
Henry, have you seen my toothbrush?
Oh.
(grunting)
You keep working that arm.
You did good today son.
- [Henry] Thanks Grandpa.
- [Jacob] Into bed.
Tomorrow's another long day.
Night night. - Night.

(phone ringing)
- [Paul On Recording] Leave a message.
I'll probably call you back.
- Dad, Grandpa's dead.
I went and checked on him this morning.
He wasn't breathing and I didn't know what to do
so I called you guys first.
Dad, please.
I think I need your help.

(trees creaking)

- You didn't tell me Henry called.
What'd his message say?
- I haven't checked it.
It's only a couple of days.
It'll be good for him to have some time away too.
- Check it.
- Okay, okay.
- [Recording On Phone] First saved voice message.
- [Henry On Recording] Dad, Grandpa's--
(static buzzing)
Please help.

Dad, Grandpa's-- (static buzzing)
Please help.
(unsettling music)
- Call him. - I'm sure it's fine, just...
- [Henry On Recording] Hey, this is Henry, leave a message.
- Voicemail.
Let me try his neighbor.
What's his name?
- Dixon.
(unsettling music)
(phone ringing)
- Okay, they're out working on farm stuff.
What's the closest town to your dad's place?
- Percy.
(unnerving music)
- Yeah, hi.
My name's Paul Wilkes.
I'm trying to get in touch with our son.
He's staying with his grandfather--
(talking drown out by unnerving music)
(wings flapping)
(unnerving music)
Mary.
They're gonna dispatch someone.
They said the storm came in.
Apparently there's another one on the way,
but they're gonna call us.
Happy?
- We need to go back.
(suspenseful music)
- You shouldn't be seeing this.
Go get your stuff.
We're going back to my place, okay?
(unsettling music)
(car alarms blaring) (horns honking)
(country music)
- Drink up boys.
No hard feelings, no assault charges,
just the unknown pleasures of
working through insurance companies.
All right.
(phone ringing)
Munroe.
Yeah.
Hold on.
You guys good here?
- Yeah.
- Okay, yeah say again.
Oh gee, city people.
Yep, they're the worst.
Okay.
(unsettling music)
- Hey.
I'll make up some soup and sandwiches huh?
Want a drink?
Coffee or something.
- I need to call my parents.
- Sorry dude, storm.
Once it starts the phones go down.
- Can I try it?
- I just said it doesn't work.
Your parents will be back soon right?
Jacob said they were going to a funeral.
I can't believe he's gone.
We'll just have to have some fun
so we don't get all sad.
(clanging in refrigerator)
Want some?
- My parents don't really like me drinking pop.
- Our secret.
Not like the old man's around right?
Oh it's getting bad out there.
(unsettling music)
- Can I help?
- No.
You stay put.
You're my guest.
Okay?
- Okay.
(unsettling music)
- Here you go.
- Looks like you played some ball too?
- Oh that, that's my security system.
I saw Jacob showing you a few moves.
Yeah, you know he used to be
a terrific player back in the day.
Could've gone pro, but he hurt his arm or something.
That's life though.
Stuff breaks.
If you try to fix it, doesn't work.
Just gotta put it away.
You know save the stuff you have or whatever.
Man he was tough, though.
Thought the old prick might outlive me.
- Yeah.
Hey.
Soup.
Tomato or cream of mushroom?
- Tomato.
- Nice.
Hoping you'd say tomato.
- Hey.
- You got any games on this computer?
- No.
That's just for work so don't mess with it okay?
The old man's friend got me a part time job.
Yeah, just some book keeping, stuff around the farm.
It's boring stuff for a little guy though right?
But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
- Yep.
Sounds like you have some important jobs.
- That's not all of them.
(unsettling music)
What're you doing?
- Just looking around.
- Take a seat.
You're making me nervous wandering around like that.
Relax dude.
(airplane whooshing)
- Flight's been delayed.
Hey, he's gonna be okay.
(unsettling music)
- All right.
Old man was a really good cook.
I'm not in his league.
(sighing)
You, me, drink race.
Let's see who wins.
(clinking)
(groaning)
- You're bigger than me.
- Yeah.
Come on.
You still gotta finish.
Don't be a sore loser.
What kind of games do you like?
- Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty.
Chess.
- Chess?
That's boring.
Oh man, I'd smoke you in Call of Duty.
- I'm awesome at Call of Duty.
- Doesn't fucking matter man.
I'm like a god at that game.
- I thought your computer was just for work?
- Well, I didn't say I played it here did I?
- You're a little smart guy, huh?
Smart ass.
Old man would've never stood for that kind of talk from me,
but he's not here right now is he?
I'm in charge.
He barely knew you.
And you had him wrapped around
your stupid little fucking finger.
He told me kid's off limits.
That's Trisha's bloodline.
He's always saying one thing and meaning something else,
but I read between the lines Hank.
Can I call you Hank, like Hank Aaron?
Hanky panky.
He always made me prove myself
because he knew I could handle it.
Just wanted to see if I really wanted it bad enough.
(unsettling music)
You're a lot like him you know?
Doing one thing, meaning another.
Pretending.
He was nice.
And he wasn't.
I see you.
I fucking see--
(glass clanging)
Oh fuck.

(unsettling music)
Nowhere else to go.
Has to be there.
- I have to do it don't I?
- You have to make this one special.
He's Mary's boy.
Opportunities like this, not to be wasted.
(unsettling music)
- Yeah.
- Special.
(suspenseful music)
(wind howling) (suspenseful music)
Hey kid.
You in there?
That would be tricky.
(suspenseful music)
(muffled country music)
- Jane, you gotta make a pit stop.
(muffled talking on radio)
Signal's pretty busted,
but if you can hear me looks like
Wilma went into the ditch again.
Gonna wait and see if Billy
or somebody's coming to get her out.
(muffled talking on radio)
(suspenseful music)
(banging on door)
- Henry.
I got you something.
(suspenseful music)
The old man loved that dog.
Me I didn't like it much.
(suspenseful music)
The old man loved you too.
(floor creaking)
Henry.
You know I wasn't allowed in here over the years.
Old man liked everything just so.
He didn't like people touching his stuff.
(glass shattering)
(floor creaking)
(metal clanging)
(suspenseful music)
Henry.
I hope you're okay.
(suspenseful music)
(gasping)
You nasty little fuck.
(suspenseful music)
(thudding)
(whimpering)
You little fuck!
(groaning)
Fuck.

Real smart.
Smart like me.
- Footprints.
- Ah, yes.
Now you're getting it.
- No footprints.
(sighing)
(suspenseful music)
The old man never shut the pantry door.
The door stuck.
(suspenseful music)
(doorknob rattling)
(baseball bat thudding)
Looks like you went out into the cold.
Smart kid.
(suspenseful music)
You sure showed me.
(suspenseful music)
Hi Henry.
(groaning)
(screaming)
(suspenseful music)
(groaning)
(suspenseful music)
(groaning)
(glass shattering)
Getting predictable kid.
(thudding)
(groaning)
(suspenseful music)
(crying)
- What?
- He must be safe.
He's safe right Paul?
I was the one who found my mom in the barn. (crying)
She was safe.
Paul you can be totally safe and happy
and then (crying) something happens.
- [Paul] Hey, hey.
(crying)
(suspenseful music)
- Hi Dad.
He never let me call him that.
Mary didn't know either,
but I bet she could sense something.
Now stay right there.
(suspenseful music)
(groaning)
(thudding)
- Mom didn't leave a note, nothing.
I knew that Dad knew why and he wouldn't say.
And this one time a few years later he sat me down
in the kitchen he goes, I'll never forget this,
he goes I let her in and she couldn't handle it.
(grunting) (thudding)
- What the hell does that mean?
(coughing)
- I always win.
Always.
Okay?
You have her eyes.
- He said I told her what she'd been wanting to know,
showed her, and it ate her up.
- Now we can play a different game.
- And the next thing I know he's taking in that neighbor guy
like some kind of stray dog.
- But first I owe you some hurts.
(thumping)
(groaning)
- One out one in I guess,
you know something breaks down and you fix what you can.
- Henry, don't be afraid, it's just
a game and you did so good.
- So I miss another time.
Okay.
(panting)
- No.
No!
(thudding)
(suspenseful music)
(kick thumping)
(suspenseful music)
(banging on window)
- Up here!
Help!
- Hey Janie listen, Drew still on duty?
- [Janie On Radio] Yeah, he's dealing
with all the catastrophe down on Main.
- Okay yeah, maybe send him down to the Yale's place.
- [Jane] What's up?
- I don't know yet, but front door's wide open in the storm.
Could be nothing, but it feels weird.
I'm gonna go in and check it out.
(banging on window)
(suspenseful music)
(glass shattering)
- [Henry] I'm up here!
Help!
- [Connie] Kid, you okay?
(thumping)
(suspenseful music)
(thudding)
(suspenseful music)
(thwacking)
(thudding)
(groaning) (suspenseful music)
(thudding)
(gasping)
(suspenseful music)
(gasping)
(suspenseful music)
- Henry.
Henry, come out.
(suspenseful music)
(pigeons grunting)
(suspenseful music)
- Hey boy.
(gasping)
You're not supposed to be here.
- You get out of there boy!
Right fucking now!
- You in trouble?
Know how to use that thing?
The shells are on the shelf.
Just load them in the barrel.
It's too big.
Bring it to me.
- You should not be in there.
- [Woman] Come on boy, hurry now.
(suspenseful music)
- All out of tricks?
Oh man.
You are way way off limits here.
I mean you were always gonna end up down here.
Maybe deep down inside you knew
this is where you were supposed to be.
Bat?
Or gun?
Oh.
Maybe a little bit of both.
You're stupid face.
God you do look a lot like her.
Now if your mom is my half sister
what does that make you?
(gun cocking)
Mama?
Mama you put that down.
Right now.
(gun firing)
(thudding)
(gagging)
- You were never ever going to be good enough.
That's why you were the secret.
(unsettling music)
(wind howling) (unsettling music)
(door creaking open)
- Are you hurt?
Is there anyone else in the house?
No?
You're okay.
I'd hate to see what happened to the other guy.
(muffled talking on radio) (siren blaring)
- Henry!
- [Paul] Henry!
- Mom.
Dad.
- Henry? - Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - You're okay?
Okay, okay.
I'm so sorry. (crying)
You're okay.
- [Paul] Come on, let's go home.
- What is it Henry?
Come on baby.
