waiting for you in the office.

- Becker?

- And the boys.

Any mail come for me?

A letter?

Didn't come in yet.

- Well, let me know.

- Yes, ma'am.

We'll provide manpower

and additional search support

along with the other counties.

Shut the f***ing door, eh?

State K-9 teams won't

be here till late tonight,

so we're going in

this afternoon with my dogs.

Use your radios,

use your heads.

Everybody wears their vests.

Lf you come upon this guy,

call it in.

We all want to make it home

for turkey dinner.

Well, you keep talking, l'm not going

to make it for turkey dinner.

Travis, this morning

while you were f***ing

that little rat you call a wife,

this guy shot a cop

in the face.

The cop's name

was Alan Townsend.

He served as a trooper

for 18 years.

That man is dead, gone forever.

All right, all right.

Take it easy. Sorry.

This is the real deal, boys.

You understand?

All right, now listen up.

Here's what we're going to do.

Travis, Brice, Bill,

you'll be with me heading west

from the accident site

toward the lake shore.

The other four of you

will be led by Denny.

You'll head east toward l-75.

Okay?

Let's get going.

What about me?

What about you?

- What team am l with?

- None.

- What do you mean?

- L mean you ain't going out.

- You can't do that.

- L'm responsible for these men's lives.

L'll do whatever the hell l see fit.

Besides, what if we got out there

and something major happened,

like you had to change

your tampon?

No offense, Deputy.

Then l'd change it, Dad.

Sh*t.

Coroner's going to probably be done

in about five minutes.

- Okay.

- Check in with him, will you?

Sh*t!

Miss.

Miss, are you okay?

Hey, hey.

Are you all right?

Come on, old pain!

Ah, you no good mule!

Start, God damn you!

You rotten old pile of sh*t!

Ha!

L have a past wife

that comes to me in dreams.

She told me you'd be coming.

You can barely

see anything out there.

- Yeah. lt's going into white-out.

- What?

When you can't see

what's right in front of you.

My car broke down.

L got lost.

You live around here?

My folks.

They live close to the border.

L'm just passing through.

You think you could

give me a lift?

No.

L'm sorry.

L can't.

L'll drop you at the next

gas station, all right?

This is kind of like an old movie,

don't you think?

What is?

Us.

Two people meeting

in a snowstorm.

L guess.

What's your name?

What do you want it to be?

Come on, didn't you ever play

pretend when you were a kid?

We're strangers.

We can be whoever we want.

So, who am l?

- Come on, give me a name.

- Look, l'm sorry.

- l really don't...

- Shh.

Name me.

Patricia.

L like that.

Patricia, the bad girl.

The FBl Academy!

You passed the exam!

L'm so damn proud of you, honey.

Yeah.

Well, l don't know.

Hanna, you're going

to be an FBl agent

and you're finally getting

to leave this sh*t hole.

Turn around and look at me.

He's a son of a b*tch, Hanna.

- Who?

- Who do you think?

The sheriff, your dad!

No. He's not that bad.

He doesn't really

mean it, you know?

Lt's just been hard for him

since my mom took off.

That was years ago, Hanna.

You're not actually

considering giving this up?

Why?

So you can take care of him?

L'm all he's got left.

This is from my heart, honey.

This is your life,

and you only get one.

Ah!

Well, good luck.

Thanks for rescuing me.

Hey, folks.

Just to let you know,

state police were just here.

- They're closing the roads.

- Are you serious?

Full-on blizzard.

Plows can't get through

till the morning.

So batten down the hatches

and pull up a stool.

You're probably going

to be here all night.

L know l will.

- You got a phone?

- Oh, yeah.

Pay phone's in back by the can.

Hey, it's me.

L'm at this place.

L'm stuck here for the night.

There's this guy.

He's the perfect ride.

His parents have a place

near the border.

L'm going to get him

to take me there.

The address is 207

Old Mills Farm Road, Bear Lake.

Can you make it there?

L hope you're okay.

Okay. Bye.

Hey, can l get you a drink?

- l'm okay.

- Ah, first one's on me.

Call it a snowstorm special.

You and your wife?

Oh, we'd love a drink.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Here you go.

My name's Patricia.

This is my husband Addison.

Addison?

That's a funny one.

Lt's his daddy's name.

You two married long?

No. We're pretty new at it.

Ah, thought so.

Still got the glow.

Well, my name's Mandy

and this is my bar.

Got it in the divorce.

Never used to come in here

when he ran the place,

- but now l love it.

- Hey, Mandy!

Now, how about bringing us

some more pitchers, huh?

My ex-sister-in-law Tricia.

Listen, honey.

You can pick the guy.

You just can't pick the family.

Come here!

Come to Mommy!

Come here!

- Lisa, get back here!

- Stop it! No!

- No!

- Lisa, come.

Come here, baby.

Come here, come here.

No, stop it!

Lisa, you get your ass

back in the cabin

if you know

what's good for you!

Come to Mommy.

Come to me.

- No. No!

- That goes for your mother, too,

or l'll be hunting

more than deer tomorrow!

You're not going anywhere!

There's nothing for miles!

That baby's going to freeze!

L'll be waiting!

No!

Don't you move.

Take your coat and go outside.

- Who are you...

- Shut your mouth!

Liza, get outside now.

Her name's Lisa.

She only does what l tell her.

You'll be dead before

your hand touches it.

Lisa, your mom's up

on the hill with the baby.

She's very cold

and she needs your help.

You need to take her

something warm.

You stay right there, Lisa.

He ain't got the guts

to do it in front of you.

Probably wouldn't be good

for a little girl

seeing her stepfather killed.

Later in life, l mean.

L want my mom.

She's up on the hill

with the baby.

- You're f***ing my wife, is that it?

- Lisa, leave now.

Shh.

Ls that who you are, huh?

L knew it.

L f***ing knew it!

Go ahead!

You can have her,

the little f***ing slut!

F*** you!

F*** you...

So, tell me something

about you, Addison.

What do you want to know?

L don't know.

What do you do for a living?

Why are you always so serious?

Anything.

L was a boxer,

but it seems like

a long time ago now.

Like a boxer in the ring boxer?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, my dad trained me

since l was a kid.

Got me all the way

to the Beijing games.

Wow, you must have

been really good.

L won the silver medal.

Ls that it?

You have it on you?

L don't usually,

but l happen to be today.

Can l...

Wow!

That is really cool.

Lt ain't the gold, but...

lt's amazing.

L've never been good

at anything.

Here we go.

You're going to have to help.

Carry the baby.

This boy needs you, okay?

He can't make it without you.

Here you go.

Lisa, you can help

your mom and the baby

by getting in here

and getting under the covers

and cuddling up.

There you go.

Cuddle up real tight,

while l have a think

for a minute.

You know, Lisa,

l'm trying to imagine

how you must feel.

L think it would be
