- Oh Tanya, thank you.
Have a nice summer, honey.
Bye, darling.
- Hey-
this is for you traveler.
- Oh, thank you.
What is it?
Oh, you shouldn't have.
- Well I thought this
would be just the thing
to take to the boonies.
- You're probably right.
- Why are you going
to a hick town
where you don't know
a soul for anyhow?
- Oh, I don't know.
To be alone for a little while.
is the right time to go?
I mean are you
feeling strong enough?
- I feel fine, Lois, really.
Fine.
- Yeah, but your mom just died
and it's only been a few
months since your divorce.
- You know what?
You sound a lot like my shrink.
He doesn't give me
any support either.
- Well, George and i
would love to have you
come to the beach.
A lot of great guys out there.
- Let's give me a break.
That's not what
i need right now.
- Well, no harm in trying.
- Oh, I appreciate the offer
but I think I'd really
like to spend the summer
in the old family house.
- Alright, I don't
want to be a pain.
But if you get lonely
or shakey or anything,
you give me a call, okay?
- I promise.
I'm going to leave
tomorrow afternoon
and as soon as I get the
phone in, I'll call you.
- Okay-
oh, I'm going to miss you.
- Me too.
- Why are you so against this?
I'm taking a vacation
in the country.
The air is fresh.
The people are friendly
and no one knows anything
about this last year.
- What will you do
if they find out?
- I'll just tell them
the truth, flat out.
Jane Hardy was on the edge.
And she came back.
Now what's so
terrible about that?
All I know is that i
don't like the pain.
And I want to get away from it.
And away from here.
- Well symbols of
the pain will be here
when you get back, won't they?
- I don't know that.
I haven't yet given
myself a chance
to get away from
them to find out.
- What if it doesn't work out?
- I'll try something else.
Hello, Mr. pritchard?
Thank goodness.
This is Jane Hardy.
I wrote you about
my aunt's house?
I know it's late.
down here and give me the keys
so I can get into the house?
Well, I'm a little tired
too, Mr. pritchard.
I've had an awfully long drive.
I'm at the Ramona court...
Uh, will it take you very long
to get here, Mr. pritchard?
No, no, no, no one's
trying to rush you.
Okay, okay.
I'll just be waiting for you.
I'm in a red Chevrolet.
Good... Bye.
- Jane Hardy?
- Yes.
- I'm Walter pritchard.
Follow me.
- I really appreciate
you getting up
and letting me in.
- Well, you should.
11 o'clock at night, decent
people ought to be in bed.
Come on.
Well, what the hell's
the matter now?
- I don't know.
Just a chill.
- There.
Oh what the hell,
i told those...
Ha, just as I promised you.
Exactly the way it was
when your aunt died
30 some odd years ago.
Your mother hardly
ever set foot in here.
- What do you mean?
- Well your mother
promised it to me.
Probate, legal fees, and a swift
for generally looking
after the old place
for thirty some odd years.
- Well I never heard that.
- Well, you probably
wouldn't admit it if you had.
Here are the keys.
You'll have to drop into
and sign some papers.
That is if you
decide to stay here.
Personally, I think
you're crazy for wanting
to live in this old place.
- L'll be by.
- Yeah, for sure.
- Goodnight, Mr. pritchard.
And thanks a lot.
Huh...
- Hey, lady-
you want a lift?
- Not too bad.
Not too bad at all for the
first time in 10 months.
Oh!
- Telephone company, lady.
- Good, I'm glad to see you.
- Yeah, Mr. pritchard,
he called yesterday.
- Oh, come on in.
I'd have thought if
he called yesterday,
it would have taken
you months to get here.
Oh you don't happen to have
blue Princess models, no?
- Okay, here you go.
- Thank you.
- Anything else?
- Yes, could you recommend
someone around here
who can help me
with some handiwork?
Fixing some windows,
patching a roof,
some things like that.
- Well I don't know.
- Well how about
Bo rehnquist, dad?
- We don't know anybody.
- This rehnquist
fellow, is he nearby?
- Yeah, about a
mile up the road.
He's got a big red house.
- That's $27.54.
Cash.
- You're kidding?
- Cash.
- I don't have
that much with me.
Could you send it out?
- Where?
- The old Martin place.
I'm Jane Hardy.
My aunt Rebecca
used to live there.
- We don't deliver that far.
- It's just down the road.
- Dad, I can do it tomorrow.
I got to down to the
Baker's house anyway.
- My son will bring it out.
- Just this once.
- Is everyone is blackford
as friendly as you are?
- We're busy, miss Hardy.
- Sure.
- Hey, dad.
What was that all about?
- It doesn't concern you.
Don't you have work to do?
- Yeah, sure.
- (Need any he), m' am'?
- No, thank you.
I can handle it myself.
- Yeah, I can see
that from here.
I'm Jack denton.
I'm sheriff around here.
The old Martin place, right?
- Yes, I'm Jane Hardy.
- Well Jane, welcome
to blackford.
You plan on staying very long?
- Well I'm not exactly sure yet.
Maybe for the summer.
- Oh, the rest of
the summer, huh?
That's nice.
Hey, I saw you jogging down
county road this morning.
I'm not one to
forget a pretty face,
if you know what I mean.
- I think I know
exactly what you mean.
Good bye, sheriff.
Are you Mr. rehnquist?
- I'm rehnquist, Bo rehnquist.
- My house needs to have some
general repairs done to it.
And they told me down at
Gordon's hardware store
that you might be
interested in doing it.
- Sounds okay so far.
You live by yourself in a house?
- Yes.
Look, I live out on county road.
The big old house off the road?
Would you start tomorrow?
- I don't know any big
- Yeah, it's the Martin place.
- I'll be busy tomorrow.
- What's wrong?
- I... I'll be busy.
- But you did say that
you could do the job.
- Tomorrow, next
week... I'm too busy.
- As you are washed in the blood
of the land, then you will
dwell in the house of the lord.
Just waiting for the chance.
Yes the lord...
Will carry you all the way
Nowhere is safe.
Nowhere you can
hide from the devil.
- Hey, you made it, didn't you?
- Yeah, I got the
stuff you ordered.
My dad told me to come
out here and collect.
In cash.
- Okay-
- I'm Paul.
- I'm Jane.
You're a lot friendlier
than your folks.
- Yeah, well they're
kind of weird.
- I think everyone
around here is weird.
- Did you get that
handyman you wanted?
Is the job still open?
- Yeah, it's wide open.
That rehnquist guy
didn't want it all.
He didn't want to
come out to the house.
bring the house to him.
- Well, I'd kind of
like to come out here
and work.
- Would you really?
- Yeah, I can fix anything.
My dad says I'm a
natural born Mr. fix-it.
- Do you have experience?
- I didn't get these
