Come on, hon.

Wake up.

You just had a bad dream.

Everything's okay.

Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance.

Wake up!

Come on.

Right now.

Wake up!

Danny's gone away, Mrs. Torrance.

This is KDK 1 calling

Are you receiving me?

Good evening. Forest service.

This is Dick Hallorann again.

I called a while ago about

the folks at the Overlook Hotel.

We tried to contact them several

times but they didn't answer.

Maybe they got their radio

turned off or they can't hear it.

If you'd like, I'd be glad

to try again later on.

That's very nice of you.

I'll call you back later.

Bye.

Pardon me, miss.

What time will we get to Denver?

We're due to arrive at 8:20, sir.

Thank you very much.

Durkin's Garage.

Can I speak to Larry?

Speaking.

Hi, Larry. This is Dick.

Dick Hallorann.

Dick! How you doing?

How's the weather down there?

I'm not in Florida.

I'm calling from Stapleton Airport.

What are you doing there?

I just got in from Miami.

I got to get to the Overlook today.

What's the weather like there?

The snowplows are keeping things

moving in town...

...but the mountain roads

are blocked.

Then I'm going to need a Snowcat

to get up there.

Can you fix me up with one?

What's the big deal

about getting there today...

...especially in this weather?

Larry, just between you and me,

we got a very serious problem...

...with the people taking care

of the place.

They turned out to be

completely unreliable a**holes.

Ullman phoned me last night.

And I'm supposed to find out

if they have to be replaced.

How long will it take you

to get here?

About five hours.

I'm going to rent a car

here at the airport.

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Thanks, Larry.

I really appreciate that.

That's all right. Drive carefully.

You're with Hal and Charlie

on Radio 63, KHOW, Denver.

And we have a bad day out there.

Heavy snow throughout

the Denver metro area.

Many mountain passes...

... Wolf Creek and Red Mountain

passes are closed...

...and the chain law is in effect

at the Eisenhower Tunnel.

We hear from the news department...

...only a few flights are

landing at Stapleton Airport...

...and with storms like this...

...l guess the entire airport will

be closed within the hour.

The storm will continue through

the day and the Weather Service...

...has declared a stockman's

and traveler's advisory...

...for all areas outlying

the Denver metro region.

Get the cows in the barn.

Hon?

Listen to me

for a minute, will you?

I'm just going to go and

talk to Daddy for a few minutes...

...and I'll be right back.

I want you to just stay here...

...and watch your cartoons, okay?

Okay, hon?

Yes, Mrs. Torrance.

All right.

I'll be back

in just about five minutes.

I'm going to lock the door

behind me.

How do you like it?

How do you like it?

What are you doing down here?

I just...

...wanted...

...to talk to you.

Okay.

Let's talk.

What do you want to talk about?

I can't really remember.

You can't remember.

No...

...l can't.

Maybe it was about Danny?

Maybe it was about him.

I think we should discuss Danny.

I think...

...we should discuss

what should be done with him.

What should be done with him?

I don't know.

I don't think that's true.

I think you have some

very definite ideas...

...about what should be done

with Danny.

And I'd like to know

what they are.

Well, l...

...l think maybe he should be taken

to a doctor.

You think "maybe"

he should be taken to a doctor?

When do you think "maybe"

he should be taken to a doctor?

As soon as possible?

"As soon as possible?"

Please.

You believe his health

might be at stake.

Yes.

And you are concerned about him.

And are you concerned about me?

Of course I am.

Of course you are!

Have you ever thought about

my responsibilities?

What are you talking about?

Have you ever had

a single moment's...

...thought about

my responsibilities?

Have you ever thought

for a single moment...

...about my responsibilities

to my employers?!

Has it ever occurred to you...

...that I have agreed to look after

the hotel until May 1st?

Does it matter to you at all...

...that the owners have placed

their complete confidence in me...

...and that I have signed

a letter of agreement...

...in which I've accepted

that responsibility?

Do you have the slightest idea...

...what a moral and ethical

principal is? Do you?!

Has it ever occurred to you what

would happen to my future...

...if I fail to live up to

my responsibilities?

Has it ever occurred to you?

Has it?!

Stay away from me!

Why?

I just want to go back to my room.

Why?

Well...

...Im very confused.

And I just need a chance

to think things over.

You've had your whole f***ing life

to think things over!

What good's a few minutes more

going to do you now?

Stay away from me!

Please!

Don't hurt me.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Stay away from me!

Stay away!

Darling.

Light of my life.

I'm not going to hurt you.

You didn't let me finish

my sentence.

I said,

"I'm not going to hurt you."

I'm just going to bash

your brains in.

I'm going to bash them

right the f*** in.

Stay away from me!

Stay away from me!

I'm not going to hurt you.

Stay away from me!

Stay away!

Please!

Stop swinging the bat.

Stay away from me.

Put that bat down, Wendy.

Stop it!

Give me the bat.

Please!

-Stay away!

-Give me the bat.

Stop it!

Give me the bat.

-Stay away from me.

-Stop swinging the bat.

Please stop!

Give me the bat.

Stay away from me.

-Stop it!

-Give me the bat.

Goddamn--!

What are you doing?

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Wait a minute!

What are you doing?

Open the door!

Goddamn it!

Let me out of here!

Open the goddamn door!

Wendy, listen.

Let me out and I'll forget

the whole goddamn thing.

It'll be just like

nothing ever happened.

Baby.

I think you hurt my head

real bad.

I'm dizzy.

I need a doctor.

Honey.

Don't leave me in here.

I'm going to go now.

I'm going to try...

...to get Danny down

the Sidewinder...

...in the Snowcat today.

I'll bring back a doctor.

I'm going to go now.

You've got a big surprise

coming to you.

You're not going anywhere.

Go check out the Snowcat and the

radio, and you'll see what I mean.

Go check it out.

Go check it out!

Go check it out.

It's Grady, Mr. Torrance.

Delbert Grady.

Grady?

Hello, Grady.

Mr. Torrance...

...l see you can hardly

have taken care of the...

...business we discussed.

No need to rub it in, Mr. Grady.

I'll deal with that situation

as soon as I get out of here.

Will you indeed, Mr. Torrance?

I wonder.

I have my doubts.

I, and others, have come

to believe...

...that your heart is not in this.

That you haven't the belly for it.

Just give me one more chance

to prove it, Mr. Grady.

That's all I ask.
