Cold Creek Manor Page #5

We already sold the house.

There is no place to go back to.

This is our house.

This is our house.

So what, you're not gonna do

anything about this?

No.

I didn't say that.

I'm gonna give him

unofficial warning.

I'm gonna tell him to keep off

your property.

That will not do a damn thing.

Then maybe you should take

your family back to the city.

Hey.

I will not be intimidated

by a thug.

You have it your own way,

Mr. Tilson.

I am just trying to help here.

Why don't you call me when you

got something to show me?

Hey, Dad.

Hey, son.

Kristen...

Listen, honey.

Sweetheart.

I know you think that I did

a terrible thing.

I swear to you

I didn't do it.

On my life, honey.

I didn't do it.

Dad wouldn't kill Chester.

He's probably gonna kill

whoever did it.

All right.

That's enough, Jesse.

Cross my heart

and hope to die.

Then who would do

such a horrible thing?

Hey, fellas.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Is that you, Janice?

Oh, you're looking good.

Dale Massie.

When are we gonna have

the pleasure of your company?

Soon.

I've just been busy sorting

everything out at the house.

Right.

- You walking?

- Yeah.

He seems like a nice man.

- Who's that?

- Mr. Tilson.

Mm. He's married, Janice.

He's got kin.

I didn't mean like that, Dale.

I just meant he seems like

a nice guy.

- So you met him, huh?

- Yeah.

Where at?

He came by to visit your father

the other day.

Why?

He was making a documentary

about the house.

He wanted to ask

some questions.

Excuse me.

You are a piece of work, man.

Accusing me of trespassing?

Did I say anything

when it was my house?

When I was stuck in jail

and you were caught red-handed

going through the place,

did I say anything?

No, I didn't.

I didn't say a goddamn thing,

'cause I wouldn't do that.

He had all my personal

photographs...

Lorna and the kids...

all laid out on the table

on bulletin boards.

Real personal stuff to me.

Ruby? Ruby?

Can I get a check, please?

Ain't it cool?

You come tap-dancing in here,

grab the property

out from under a guy

who's late on a few payments.

Guess what he paid for

the property and the contents.

Joe?

Joe, take a guess.

What do you think it was worth?

Your place is

about the same size, right?

Maybe five.

- Try 210 grand.

How about that?

How much are you getting

for that movie about my family?

Huh?

Oh, don't worry.

I'll be sure and buy the DVD

with that $50 I got

for fixing your pool.

I mean, here I am.

I'm doing my level best to try

and be a good neighbor, right?

And you accuse me of being

some kind of sadistic prick.

Well, I guess you're just

trying to protect your family

the best way you can.

But when I've done wrong,

I own up to it like a man

and I set things straight.

That's what I do, Cooper.

We'll have our time, Massie.

This isn't it.

I think you're full of sh*t.

That's what I think.

Why don't we go outside

right now?

Hit him, Dad.

Knock his brains out.

When your man starts

pointing fingers,

he better be ready

to back it up, don't you think?

Ruby, I got no beef

with Mrs. Tilson.

- Out in the car.

- Kristen, get in the car.

It's that motherf***er right

there that's pissin' me off.

Hammerhead will smash

your skull!

Hammerhead will bash

your brains!

Throw you down

the devil's throat!

He killed his children.

I want you to get the kids

out of here.

I want you to take them back

to the city.

To New York.

Just get them out of here.

- What?

- Stay with Tina.

- No. You have to come.

- Okay?

Just pack enough clothes

for a couple of days.

- I'll come as soon as I can.

- What?

- I just have to find...

- What?

I have to...

I have to find more...

- What?

- More evidence.

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye.

Bang, went the hammers down

till they were all dead.

Bang, went the hammers.

Bang, went the hammers down

till they were all dead.

All of them.

Cold Creek Manor.

Always there.

Tammy. Grady.

Lorna.

Always there.

Tammy. Grady.

Lorna.

And straight

into the brain. Dead.

Give me another cherry.

Down the devil's throat.

Jesus Christ.

What is the devil's throat?

I have no idea.

Mr. Tilson, this here,

this is all circumstantial.

This won't hold up

in a court of law.

You think they're buried on

your property, which is how big?

I'll search every inch of it

if I have to.

Well, there are two issues here.

Both are relating to

Dale Massie.

He's a piece of sh*t, all right.

But I don't think

he's a murderer.

I don't want to believe it.

I don't want to believe

that he murdered his wife

and his two small kids.

But he is on to you.

You have absolutely

pissed him off.

You should be careful.

So here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna give you a walkie.

It's a secure channel.

Keep it with you.

And if you need anything,

you just holler.

I'm gonna check in with you

on a regular basis.

I will check this all out

just to be sure.

Johnny Roth does

everybody's teeth around here.

I'm gonna run

that engine number, all right?

All right.

Hey, Mom?

Got it.

Cooper.

Hi.

So you made it.

Everyone okay?

Sweetheart, I am so close.

I swear.

Then everything is gonna be

all right.

Cooper, this is destroying

all of us.

Leah, do you remember

the other day in the diner

when Jesse shouted something

at Dale?

Something about

the devil's throat?

You remember that?

I need to talk with him

about that.

Cooper, we can't drag

the kids into this.

They've been through enough.

They're traumatized already.

Just this one thing.

It's the key to everything.

- Lf I can find...

Cooper?

Leah?

Leah?

Hello?

Cooper?

Sh*t.

Sheriff Ferguson, come in.

Sheriff Ferguson,

can you read me?

Howdy, Mr. Tilson.

Listen.

Something's strange.

My phone just went down.

Is your phone working?

Yeah, it is.

But maybe not for long.

We got a storm blowing in.

Listen.

I ran that Honda number,

and it matches.

That's Lorna's car, all right.

Now, don't get too excited.

It's just circumstantial.

Yes.

But maybe I'm not crazy.

It's possible.

Anything's possible.

I'll swing by later on.

Over.

Mom.

- Mom.

- Yeah?

We have to talk to you.

Sure.

Show her.

Um...

You fix that front gate?

Yes, sir.

I took care of it on Tuesday.

I put in three new hinge bolts.

She's as good as new.

Hey, look.

I brought your favorite.

You're lying.

Sir?

You lost the farm.

Where'd you hear a crazy thing

like that, sir?

That's not true.

Here.

Have a chocolate.

- I got the ones with the dark...

- Don't you lie to me, boy.

You're the corrupt spawn

of your whoring mother.

I saw it.

I saw you.

Shut up.

Please.

Please, sir.

Just shut up.

I saw everything.

Everything you did.

She told you she was leaving you

and taking the kids.

They weren't even your kids.

See, you couldn't even

make babies.

Useless.

You're not even a man.

Not even a man.

"Pooh. Pooh."

You couldn't kill an animal.

But you killed them.

Hey, what'd you do

with the bodies, boy?

I buried them, sir.

Is that what you did, boy?
