Cold Creek Manor Page #2

I'm Cooper, by the way.

Ray Pinski.

Great to meet you.

- This is Leah. Kristen.

- Hi.

Jesse.

- Jesse?

- Yeah.

- Kristen.

- Ray.

- Ray?

- Oh. My wife.

I'm Ellen Pinski.

Hi.

This is our daughter, Stephanie.

Hi.

- Hi. Leah.

- Hi.

Do you kids like horses?

Mom.

- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, yeah. Sure.

Well, Stephanie has a horse.

And I think he needs

feeding right now.

Would that be okay?

Yeah. Sure.

Hey.

Cool.

Kristen, why don't you go, too?

Hmm? Go on.

Go.

I said, "go."

Go. Now.

Why don't you leave

that cellphone here with me?

If someone calls,

I can tell 'em where you are.

- They're at that age.

- She's tough.

Kids love horses, though.

Well, basically,

she loves cellphones.

But I'm hoping she'll move

into horses eventually.

Hey, really, come on.

Sit down.

Oh, good.

They're bonding

with the Pinskis.

- Five, actually. Five.

- Five.

Then, you're locals, then, huh?

Well, I mean...

I don't want to go that far.

- But...

- Yeah.

We've been here a long time.

Yeah.

Takes time to get there.

I mean, we send everyone

Christmas cards every year.

But haven't got one back yet.

Okay, this is a bit

of a sore point.

But I don't think

it's anything personal.

Did you guys get a card?

I didn't get a card.

I got two cards.

Oh, you're kidding.

- You didn't get a card.

- I got a card.

I didn't get a card.

I'm so upset.

It was about to fall down.

The ceiling was coming down.

Well, you're putting money

back into the community.

Money back into the community.

- That's right, Cooper.

- Money back into the community.

- We always say that.

- Yeah.

How about that blue truck?

- Out front?

- Yeah.

- Is it for sale?

- Oh, yeah.

He wants the truck.

You want the truck?

Well, I might, yes.

- We do?

- We need a second car.

Well, that's news to me.

It's a great truck.

It's a beautiful truck.

I'll do you a good deal on it.

Ray'll do you good.

- You better.

- Oh, I will.

Could use a little work.

Okay, I want you to close

your eyes.

Wonder what this could be.

Here comes a step.

Ready? Step.

Here comes another step.

Ready? Step.

- I'm stepping.

- Whoa.

Okay, our "neigh"bors are here.

Hi, Ray.

Ellen.

- Good morning.

- Hello.

What do you think

Stephanie's holding?

Well, take a look.

- Oh, my God!

You guys are the best!

She likes it.

Well, what are you waiting for?

See her eyes?

They just lit right up, huh?

She loves it.

Want some coffee?

- Oh, I'd love some.

- Come on in.

She's so surprised.

Hey, Ray.

Hey, good to see you.

Okay. Have fun.

Don't tell me that

you did this all on your own.

This is my office.

- This is your office?

- Yeah.

What's all this stuff?

It's all things from the family

that lived here before.

The Massies.

- Look at your garden.

- What's this?

What's this?

Final days?

Well, this is a time line

of the Massie family.

That's incredible.

What a project.

Well, it's what I do.

I do documentaries.

- Yeah.

- What's this?

Oh, that's the family

that lived here before.

That's the pool.

Oh, listen, if you guys want to

swim, come over to our pool.

That's... Grady.

- No, it's Lorna.

- Where'd you get that?

Oh, these tapes?

Yeah.

They're gonna want that back.

Well, they can have it.

You just found the tapes here?

They were in a closet. We bought

the house and the contents.

How much footage do you have?

Oh, miles and miles.

Hammerhand will bash your skull

and throw you down

the devil's throat.

Hammerhand will bash your skull.

- Hey, Dad?

- Yeah?

Thanks so much for Chester.

I really love him.

I don't want any present

for the next five years.

Yeah, I really believe that.

I'm glad, honey.

Are you happy here?

I'm so happy.

I really like Stephanie, too.

We like the same kind of stuff.

What about Jesse?

Think he's happy?

I think he's happy.

But he's really into Grady

and all his old stuff.

All his army garments.

Exactly.

It's a phase.

I think it's really creepy.

Yeah.

Think he'll go to college

like that?

I hope not.

Think they'd send him

back to us?

Yeah.

Actually,

he'd probably like that.

Dad.

There's some really,

really weird guy

looking at all your stuff.

What?

May I help you?

Excuse me.

I'm Dale Massie.

I used to live here.

Uh, Cooper Tilson.

Nice to meet you.

This is my wife, Leah.

Pleasure, ma'am.

Hey, young man.

That's Jesse.

- Kristen.

- Young lady.

Hi.

Do I smell burning?

What's cookin'?

Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

That is so gross.

Mmm.

That was so tasty, Mrs. Tilson.

Thank you.

Okay.

Speech time.

Kristen, Jesse...

why don't you go see

how Chester's doing, okay?

Chester?

It's a pony.

Oh.

How nice.

Is it all right if I smoke

in here?

Uh, sure.

Thank you.

It's okay.

This.

It's okay.

I screwed up.

Bank took everything.

You bought it.

You're doing a great job.

This place is gonna be gorgeous.

Really gorgeous.

Look, uh, Mr. Massie...

Oh. Dale.

Please. Call me Dale.

Dale, I feel...

Well, we feel bad.

If there's anything that you

want to take, go ahead.

It's yours.

Please, don't feel bad.

A house is just a shell, right?

I mean, you live in it

for a while.

Then things change.

Now it's yours.

I do have one question

for you, though.

Do you know what you're

getting yourself into?

Restoring this house?

Yeah.

We...

We thought that it would take

about two years

to just, you know,

to get it kind of...

I just got out of jail.

Three years for an accident

that wasn't my fault.

I need a favor.

I'm asking you both

for a break here.

I really need a job.

Now, I know this house

better than anybody.

I could help you fix it up.

We could start with that pool.

That is one beautiful pool

out there, Mrs. Tilson.

My grandmother put that in

in 1926.

You know that?

I could have you

and the kids in there

by Friday at the latest.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I thought it needed relining.

Relining?

What?

Who told you that?

That's nonsense.

Uh...

Well, okay.

Why don't we start out

with the pool?

And then we'll see

how it goes from there.

Thank you.

I think we're gonna be

good friends.

I gotta use a rest room.

May I?

Yeah, it's right out the hall

and to the...

Well, you know where it is.

No sweat, Mr. Tilson.

Well, thanks again for dinner.

Yeah. Sure.

Sleep well.

It's gonna be great.

Maybe you should offer him

a ride.

Okay, be mean.

Where the hell is he going?

Back to prison.

Nice.

Hello, stranger.

Hi.

Hi.

I was just making

something to eat.

Oh, yeah?

But I ran out of bread.

Mm-hmm.

You want some iced tea?

Oh, you... F***!

- I think he's a creep.

- Kristen.

Do we have to have him around?

I told him that we would

see how it went.

So we'll just...

- We'll see how it goes, okay?

- Yeah.

You ready, Dale?

Yeah.

All right.

Kill it.

Ready?

Ready.

No peeking.

Okay.

"Evil."

Devil's throat!

You're it.

I'm not playing anymore.

- Oh, sore loser, are we?

- Shut up.

Hammerhand will bash your skull.

Hammerhand will throw you down

the devil's throat.
