It's really warm down

southeast during the day today.

We had a temperature

of 68 degrees.

Cold air,

unseasonably cold air

coming down

out of the northeast,

clashing with

this warm air mass.

Now We have

strong thunderstorms

right now across...

[voice fades]

Along Interstate 5,

heading north,

it's thundering

with heavy showers...

[ominous music]

If

[engine revving]

7 inches of rain

in the northeast

has caused Widespread

flash flooding

in portions of the...

[voice fades]

There is a severe Weather

Warning in that area

for possible severe

thunderstorms and flooding.

[voice fades]

If

High Winds

in the Ash/and Lake area

have knocked out power

and caused a blackout.

[car door slams shut]

[gun clicks]

[gunshot]

[phone buzzing]

Sh*t.

Yeah?

Yeah.

No, we're just about to hit

the road.

What's up?

No, it's fine.

No, I faxed those

three documents

to the registry yesterday.

Before noon.

Well, call Wendy

and tell her I'll call him later

and smooth it over.

Okay.

Okay.

All right,

talk to you in a bit.

Bye.

[whispers]

Thanks.

[brakes squeak]

All right.

Ah.

[laughs]

All right, Harris.

Okay.

Come on.

Welcome back.

It's been a while.

Good to see you.

Yeah.

Come on.

Getting a little

head start on her

this time around,

are we?

Yeah, trying

to beat the rush.

Well, if it's peace and quiet

you're after,

it doesn't get any quieter

than this lately.

- Come on.

- That sounds nice.

Harris!

Well, not if you're trying

to run a business.

[laughter]

Well, when do you usually

start seeing people?

Oh, it's a few weeks yet.

There's a couple of families-

they pop in and out, you know,

the, uh, Dunbars.

Oh, no, I don't know.

Grandlands?

Oh, nice family.

Yeah, but they don't

really reside,

except for the-

Oh, what's their names?

I'm not sure.

One sec.

L, uh...

I heard about

that little blonde angel

of yours.

My deepest sympathies.

What happened?

If you don't mind

my asking.

An accident.

Brendon?

Brendon?

Harris?

Brendon, come on.

We're leaving.

Brendon?

[branches snapping]

Brendon!

Come on,

you're scaring me.

Stop with the games.

We have to leave.

" Mom'?

' [sighs]

Mom,

what are you doing?

Brendon, you scared me.

Harris, come here.

[branch snaps]

Hello?

What would you do

with a set of tools

if I bought them for you?

Watch out!

Come on, Harris.

K-9 unit coming through!

Brendon, inside.

[sighs]

[dog barking]

My God.

He never stops.

He'll be fine.

Brendon, come wash up.

[sizzling]

F***.

Ah, f***.

Come on.

Come on.

It's cold, huh?

Go get it.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You'?

Do you miss us?

I'm too busy

missing her.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

Trust me.

Fine.

What do you think

I'm doing all this for?

What?

Doing what exactly?

Spending time

with your family?

That came out wrong.

You know, I cut into

my work schedule too.

I know that.

I know that.

Let's just not

talk about it right now.

Listen, I want

to make this work.

Who's that?

[brakes squeak]

[engine idling]

Brendon, stay close.

Harris, Harris!

Come back!

What are they doing?

Harris.

Shh, shh...

I don't know.

[dog barking]

Hey, come here, buddy.

Come here right now.

[barking continues]

Harris, come here.

- Hey.

- Harris.

Should I...

No, stay here.

Hey, you know what,

come on, let's head back.

What, now?

Yes.

- Mary...

- Why?

Look, it's time

to get ready for bed.

- Mary.

- Hey, I'm not mad.

I just-

I don't want to be out here.

You mean

I have to go to sleep?

Yes, you're gonna

have to go to sleep,

or I'll kiss you

to pieces.

Good night.

Did we lock the door?

Yes.

Look at me.

I want you inside me.

[moaning]

[crying]

You okay?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

[muffled clattering]

[clattering continues]

What is that?

[muffled speech]

I don't know.

' [groans]

[clattering continues]

Uh, can I help you?

Oh, my God,

have we woken you?

I'm so sorry.

We just wanted

to drop this wood off.

We didn't mean

to wake you.

Do you know

what time it is?

L- l bet it's early.

I completely lose track.

L- I'm so, so sorry.

We were just

walking by your place

and noticed your car,

and we thought this-

- I'm sorry-

Wait, I'm sorry.

You-you were

on our property?

This is no way

to make a first impression.

Let me start over.

We've got a place on the water

down the way there,

and we were actually hiking

near your property,

and my son here

noticed you were around.

And so we thought we would bring

some spare wood over

as-as a kind of

welcoming gift.

You know there's-

there's better times for this.

Absolutely.

Uh, I'm so-

We're just gonna-

and then we're gone.

That's my husband,

Bobby.

I'm Jane.

This is our son Jared.

Hi, I'm - l'm Mark.

It's nice to meet you.

. HEY-

. HEY-

Mark what?

Uh, Hughes.

We're the Sakowskis.

Was that you in the-

in the car last night,

out by the mailboxes?

We-we don't have a car.

Uh, hey, look.

We've basically

been out here on our own

for a pretty long time.

And you can probably tell,

we've let our excitement

get the better of us.

And I'm just-

I'm so sorry.

We've got you out of bed.

I know how-

- No, that's-

that's fine.

This is-

this is my son Brendon.

Hey, Brendon.

I'm Bobby or Bob.

This is my wife, Jane,

boy Jared.

Say, Brendon,

how old are you?

Eight and three quarters.

Is that so?

Because this one

just turned nine

a few weeks back.

Is that right?

Uh...

We get that reaction

a lot.

He's just big for his age.

He's big-

Ha!

Well, if there's anything

we can do for you,

don't-

don't hesitate to ask.

No, no.

No, no, no, no,

not at all.

It was great to meet you,

Mark.

Good luck.

And come on, gang,

let's go.

We could bring them

some food.

I'm sure that Mark

and his family

have enough food, honey.

Not my salad, though.

Salad-

she's obsessed.

Uh...

I don't know.

Maybe.

You want to do a little

get-together?

Let the kids play.

We could get to know each other,

maybe dressed?

We'll see.

We'll see.

No.

Okay, good.

Come on, honey,

another time.

Baby, come on,

come on.

Good to meet you, Mark.

Honey?

Good to-

hey, hey, hey, come here.

No, Harris, back inside.

Come on.

Can you take him up?

Yeah.

Thank you.

See ya.

All right, yeah,

go upstairs.

Oh, wait.

Now, just hold on a second.

I'm sorry about that.

I didn't mean to be-

I mean-

- No, no, no.

We don't want to-

- What time did you want

to come over?

No, no,

don't worry about it.

She's just-

she gets a thing in her-

- This afternoon.

Does that work for you?

We're free.

Would you like to

this afternoon?

Let's do this afternoon.

- Mark.

- Very nice to meet you.

I'll bring you

something healthy.

- Good.

- Something healthy.

But don't you put yourself out,
