Okay.

Make sure it's seated.

There you go. Snap it shut.

Okay.

Just shoot it anywhere?

You gotta keep it snug.

I thought you shot yourself!

Oh, my god!

I told you

to keep it snug.

All right, well, now we know

that this isn't a toy, right?

Where you going?

You just gonna go off

and cry about it?

Guess it's my turn.

Hey, have a damn

sense of humor.

Can you just give me

a minute, please?

Hey, what's the matter

with you?

It was him.

This little guy right--

ooh-hoo-hoo!

Ohh!

You blame me for everything!

You're ganging up on me

with your cheap shots?

Okay,

that's how you wanna play?

Hey! No!

That's how you wanna play?

Wait up! No!

No, no, no, wait!

I hit him!

Winner! Winner!

Winner!

Caleb, stop!

He's soaked!

- Not funny.

- Well, we're both laughing.

We're just playing--

hey, come on.

Come on, we were

just playing around.

Yeah, sorry.

Hey.

Brad.

Want my coat?

He'll be fine.

Come on.

All right!

Brad, I hit it!

Bradley!

Come on out here!

All right! Nice shot.

Hey, can we go?

I gotta use the bathroom.

Go write your name in the snow.

The whole world's your toilet.

Want a sip?

Yeah.

You sure?

Sure.

You like it?

It's not that bad.

Huh?

Dad let me have

a sip of his beer.

Great.

You just gonna rat me out

like that?

Hey. Just hit the target once,

and then we can go, all right?

Okay.

All right. Caleb,

show him how it's done.

Okay, so basically,

you wanna widen your stance,

and just mash it into,

like, the squishy part

of your shoulder.

Hey.

And you just line it--

hey.

Shh.

Hey. Look.

Shh.

Caleb, don't--

nice shot!

Nice!

Look at that.

What, was I supposed

to just let him suffer?

What did you think

was gonna happen?

I didn't think I'd hit it.

Jesus, you boys are soft.

Fine, let's just--

let's just go. Let's go.

You okay?

You've been drinking.

So?

You drive.

He doesn't have a license.

He's gotta learn sometime.

All right.

So Ted never taught you?

Like Ted would ever

let him drive the car.

You just go slow

and keep it steady.

You got this.

Okay. And this...

Release the hand brake.

Okay.

Slowly pull out.

Whoa.

There you go.

Okay.

Now you're driving.

Okay.

You're doing good.

If you need

to step on the brake,

just press slowly on the brake.

Don't step on it

'cause it's ice.

It'll just skid.

Okay.

You're doing good.

Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Sure you don't want me

to take over?

No, I'm good. I'm fine.

He drives like a grandmother.

Let me try.

You couldn't see

over the steering wheel.

Hey, cut it out!

Stop it.

Hey, cut it out.

Just quit it!

Quit playin' around!

Holy sh*t!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Sorry, I didn't-- I just--

i don't know...

Oh, f--

f***!

F***ing told you

not to play around!

Sh*t.

Dad?

All right.

All right, turn the ignition on.

Put it in reverse.

Okay. Give it some gas!

Give it some gas. More!

A little more!

It's fine.

It's fine.

Are we stuck out here?

What's the knife for?

Now, you come with me, Caleb.

Oh, sh*t!

Okay. Awesome. Oh.

Okay.

Oh, f***. Come on!

Really jam it in there.

There you go.

Like that?

Okay. Back up. All right,

Brad, give it some gas.

We clear?

Okay, okay.

It's not great,

but it'll help

keep the cold out.

We can turn the car

on now and then, but we can't

keep it running all night.

How come you left mom?

Caleb.

Mm, mm...

What'd she say?

That you left because

we were more mature than you.

Yeah, well... I mean...

She's not wrong.

You know, back then, i--

i didn't want to have kids.

I mean, I hadn't really

thought about it, you know?

I wasn't more than

a couple years older

than you guys.

And then, you know,

mom got pregnant,

and she didn't want to,

you know--

she wanted to keep it.

But now, it's so different.

I mean, I know to you guys,

it's just, you know,

being away from your friends

and video games and sh*t.

But to me...

It's-- it's the best thing

in my life.

I mean, you guys

are the best thing in my life.

It's pretty much the only thing

i haven't screwed up yet.

That's why, you know,

this little adventure

that we're out on...

Your mom and Ted,

they can't find out about this.

You know? I don't think

they'd let us

hang out anymore.

You know, i-i just--

you know, I just can't

let that happen.

What?

What's going on?

Mom, um-- mom was gonna

tell you when we got back.

Caleb, you're not supposed

to say anything.

What do you mean,

said not to tell?

Tell what?

Ted got a promotion,

and we're moving.

Where?

London.

London?

I mean, what?

That's-- that's crazy.

What...

London. Y-you're...

You're--

you're moving to London?

We don't want to go.

Of course not.

Yeah, all our friends

are here and stuff.

No. You're not--

you're not moving to London.

I-I'll talk to your mom.

You're-- you're not

moving anywhere.

We leave

at the end of the month.

Wh-- what, you're just...

They can't do that.

That's...

What, they're just gonna--

just gonna drag you away

halfway across the world?

What-- and I never

get to see you again?

That's insane!

I mean, you're my kids!

You're my kids!

Ted said he would help you

buy a ticket, though,

if you want to come visit.

Oh, f***ing Ted's

gonna help me.

It's okay, dad.

No!

Dad!

No!

No, no!

Dad!

Aah! No!

Dad, no...

Aah! Aah!

It's-- it's okay.

It's okay.

F***! No, no!

Dad, stop.

What are you doing, dad?

Aah! No!

Dad!

Aah!

Dad!

Dad, what are you doing?

Dad, stop it! Please!

Aah!

Dad, don't...

Da--

dad?

Dad, what are you...

Dad?

Hey...

Hey...

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

We're the only ones

out here.

More than 30 miles.

Just listen.

All the sound

just gets swallowed up.

It's incredible.

I feel like we're on the moon.

Dad, you okay?

No.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Look what I found.

Put it on.

Here's a blanket.

Thank you.

Okay, let's try

to get some sleep.

We got an early morning

tomorrow.

Stop snoring.

You stop moving.

What are you doing?

Brad.

Will you quit it?

What?

What?

Where did he go, Brad?

I'm so cold.

Oh, sh*t, come on, please.

Come on.

What's wrong?

It's not turning on.

He just went

to get help, right?

I don't know. Maybe.

Oh, funny.

Who'd you think it was?

Bradley thought

you were big foot.

Where have you been?

I went for a hike

to scout things out.

Did you find help?

No, but a couple years ago,

we were set up on

the other side of this valley.

And we went hunting one weekend,

and there's a cabin down there.

I think that's our best bet.

So grab all the stuff.

How is that our best bet?

We've gotta go back

to the highway and try

and find help from there.

No, no. Hey, grab

the stuff out there.

Now, we're too far

from the road.

We can't be out in the cold

for that long, and this truck

isn't gonna keep us warm.

What about food?

I'm starving.

Yeah, we'll find

something there.

Just grab what you can carry.

Essentials only.

We gotta keep it light.

Gonna be slow going

in the snow.
