You slept in the same bed?

It's not like I'm trying to

fool around or anything.

How long to get

that generator going?

Josephine, the generator

has been running...

...since the power lines

were down.

I mean the big generator.

The big?

Not long, a half an hour.

Good. At least that's done;

turn the heat...

...and the fireplace in room 33.

We'll put her in there,

you can have room 34.

Abe, that rotgut you drink everyday

is ruining your brain.

Would you like me to repeat?

Hell no.

Give me a hand.

- Wow!

- I told you.

Seriously, gigantic.

I told you.

Heat's coming on, and the place

will look different...

...with the fireplace fire going.

Leave off doing that.

The main thing is

to get the tractor going.

Hey Brad. Feel like

playing with the tractor?

It's beautiful.

You just get into bed.

Thank you. I don't mean to

put you through so much trouble.

No trouble, really.

You just ah, rest,

try to get your strength back.

Why don't you ever look at me?

I am looking at you,

what are you talking about?

Nothing.

Abe told me

what you said down there.

Believe me, I understand

wanting to be dead.

But, you can't think of

just yourself.

I know, the baby.

Yes and what about your parents,

they'd be devastated.

They said they never wanted

to hear my name again.

Okay.

What about the baby's father?

Oh, he'd be devastated.

What do you mean?

They could order movies,

pay-per-view...

...play video games, music,

they can even surf the Internet...

...all from their remote.

I mean, every good hotel...

...has a system like that

these days.

- Sounds expensive.

- That's the thing.

These companies, they'll provide

you the hardware and...

...the software for free and then

they split the fees with you.

In-room entertainment was

the fourth biggest moneymaker...

...at the Little Nell in Aspen

last year.

You stay in a lot of nice hotels?

Yeah, I work in

a lot of nice hotels;...

...I'm a Snowboarder, with

no sponsor. Meaning, I'm a waiter.

In the winter, these places

are always looking for people...

...so I get to go to

all the Snowboarding events...

...and then I pick up work

a week here, a week there...

...and that's what this place

needs.

- Waiters?

- Snowboarding.

You could design a really cool

border cross-terrain...

...put in a half pipe...

Oh, it'd be awesome.

So you were 15

and he was how old?

- 25.

- There is...

...a type of man who can

very easily manipulate young women.

It didn't feel like

I was being manipulated.

It was what I wanted;

I was in love with him.

And I went after him more than

he went after me and I know...

...oh that makes me sound like

such a whore.

That does not make you sound

like a whore.

It did to my parents.

They are very active

in the church...

...and they kept saying

that I shamed them.

So, that's when they shipped

off to boarding school, and...

...Craig moved away.

We didn't see each other

for four years...

...and then

when we got back together...

...is felt like nothing

had ever changed.

And, then of course,

I got pregnant.

And he said he still loved me.

Whose idea was that to put

the baby up for adoption?

It was both of ours, I guess.

Craig kept saying we could always

start a family...

...after I finished college.

You know how that sounds,

don't you?

Like he was manipulating me.

But, it seemed like

it made sense though.

He started talking about

a couple...

...that could give advantages

to the baby that we couldn't.

And that part was true, at least.

And that's how all of this

ended up coming out.

What, what came out?

All right.

Start it up.

All right.

And, when you're ready,

like I told you.

Easy...

So, of course, Craig did

all the talking with the couple.

Apparently the lady wanted

to talk to me...

...but he kept coming up

with excuses like I was...

...out or sleeping or, something.

So, one day he left

his cell phone at home...

...and I answered it

and it was them...

...and they were extremely nice.

What tipped you off?

Okay, so the wife starts

telling me...

...how they'd give such

a good home to the baby.

And the husband said,

"Yeah, that 75,000 dollars...

...is just a token of what we'd be

willing to spend on the baby.

And I go, "What 75,000 dollars?

And he says, "The 75 K

for you and your husband."

- You must have been shocked?

- Oh, so were they.

I mean, first of all they thought

we were married...

...and secondly,

they couldn't believe...

...I didn't know anything

about the money.

What did Craig say about this?

I didn't want to wait around

to find out.

But I swear...

...until yesterday,

I really thought he loved me.

Wait, this all happened yesterday?

Feels like it was a week ago,

but yeah...

...yesterday.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I got a girlfriend in Denver,

but she lives with her parents...

...so I'm not sure how long

they'd be cool...

...with a pregnant chick

staying at their house.

Now is not the time to worry.

The advantage of being snowed in,

is that there's...

...nothing you can do about it so

you might as well take it easy.

When is your due date?

They said some time

around Christmas.

Don't worry; first babies

tend to be late.

Mine, mine hung on

for two solid weeks.

- Let's hope.

- Yeah.

Yes, can I help you?

Hi, ma'am. Ah, I, I got your name

from the bus company.

I was wondering,

have you seen this girl?

She could be in a lot of trouble

and I need to find her.

I thought so.

You know, when I saw her,

I said to myself...

Self I said that girl's in trouble.

I wrote down the license plate.

Wait here just a minute.

We used to have one of these

when I was little.

Now it just looks like

a piece of history.

Great.

Now I have to get a new one.

I can't imagine

how much that would cost.

Under a thousand bucks...

...and it would be a million times

faster than this one.

Under a thousand dollars?

You're kidding.

We paid three times

that for this one.

Is this Josephine?

Yes.

- And that's you?

- Yeah.

Who are they?

Oh now, that's a long story.

You sure you want to hear it?

Hey, I got to show you this.

Okay, me first.

- Come here.

- What?

- Put your hand here.

- Okay.

Okay?

All right, now you have to be

patient.

What were you going to show me?

First, I know why

this place is shut down...

...and why Josephine is...

...so strange and weird?

- Yeah.

Turns out she was married

with a daughter...

...who was like my age and

the daughter...

...is married with a baby girl.

- Okay, I'm with you.

- And, oh...

- You felt that, right?

- Yeah, I did.

- Is that him kicking?

- Yeah.

How do you know this is a boy?

Because with a kick like that

it's definitely a...

You think girls can't kick now?

No, but still...

...I, I got ten on it

that it's a boy.

Okay, go back to your story.

There's a daughter, a son-in-law

and a baby granddaughter...

Yeah. The son-in-

if a pilot, has his own Cessna.

They were on their way
