Cold Creek Manor (2003) - CD2 - 23.976fps
What?
Dave Miller.
Yeah. Dave Miller.
Hit on me on the airplane.
He offered me the VP spot
and then asked me to spend the night with him in Chicago.
- What did you do? - What did I do?
I moved out here into the middle of nowhere with you.
I turned into some 19th-century housewife.
Which was great for a while.
It felt like this weight was lifted off my shoulders.
And you were supposed to carry us through.
But that is not what's happening.
- We're drowning here. - No. No.
- And it is time to get out. - No. That's not what I said.
What did you do?
I said yes.
But then I called you on the phone.
And that was the day
that Jesse was very nearly killed by that car.
Cooper, that was a wake-up call for me.
So...
That's why you agreed to come out here, right?
[Exhales deeply]
[Bell chimes]
[Rock music playing in distance]
[Laughter, billiard balls clacking]
Hey, buddy.
Hey. Hey. How are you?
I understand Steph and Kristen,
they're gonna go on a shopping spree with their moms.
Yeah, yeah.
Can I buy you a drink?
Uh, no. I got to get back.
One beer's not gonna kill you.
No.
Look, Cooper.
Word to the wise. Be cool around here, okay?
I didn't come here to start a war, Ray.
Exactly.
All I'm saying is come in, buy a round of drinks.
Show there's no hard feelings between you and Dale.
What do you say?
Come on. I'll buy you a beer.
Come on.
Drinks on Mr. Tilson.
Thanks, Mr. Tilson. Appreciate it.
# Well, I'm so tired of crying but I'm out #
Take the shot, man. Take the shot.
# I'm on the road again #
# Well, I'm so tired of crying but I'm out on the road again #
# I'm on the road again #
I want to play the game.
Corner.
# You know the first time I traveled out #
# In the rain and snow #
# You know the first time I traveled out #
# In the rain and snow #
# I didn't have no payroll #
# Not even no place to go #
You still buying?
Yeah. What are you drinking?
Vodkas. Two.
Two?
# When I was quite young #
# She said, "Lord have mercy on my wicked son" #
One for me, one for you.
Right. Cheers.
[Clears throat] Two more.
It's Cooper, right?
Yeah.
Ruby.
# Don't you cry no more #
You're a funny guy, Cooper.
Well...
Funny...
# Don't you cry no more #
# 'Cause it's soon one morning #
Here. Let me help you with that one.
Such a gentleman.
# But I ain't goin' down that long, old lonesome road #
# All by myself #
# But I ain't goin' down that long, old lonesome road #
# All by myself #
# I can't carry you, baby #
# Gonna carry somebody else #
- Didn't you hear what I said? - No.
No, I didn't.
What?
Don't fuck with him.
He'll rip your fucking head off.
You got another one of these?
It's my birthday.
What do you say?
Happy birthday.
Mmm. Thank you.
Another round.
Cheers.
One more.
No. No. No. None for me.
I got to get going.
That is true, Mr., uh, City Slicker.
Mr. Fuckin' Coop.
Get out of my face.
And get out of my home.
I know you put the snakes in my house.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Why don't you try and prove that?
Let me give you some advice.
Don't you ever... come to my house again.
And if you harm one hair on my family's head,
I will kill you.
Ooh.
Did you hear that, sheriff?
This man's threatening my life.
How much?
Scratch!
[Laughter]
Come on. Loosen up.
I'm trying to play a game right now.
Dale, I'm gonna...
[Screams indistinctly]
- You ever fuckin' shut up? - Hey, Dale...
You just never shut the fuck up, do you, Ruby?
You're not a man.
- You're not a fucking man, Dale! - Oh, yeah?
You gonna keep talking to me? Is that it?
Dale, don't!
MAN: What are you doing?
[Glass breaking]
RUB Y: Dale!
Get the fuck off me!
Dale! Wait!
Dale! Stop it!
Enough! Enough!
Back the fuck away, Massie. Back up!
Step away!
I got enough to throw you back inside
for the next five years, you piece of shit.
RUB Y: Annie.
You touch my sister ever again,
I swear to God it'll be the last thing you ever fucking do.
Annie, he didn't touch me, okay?
I fell.
I've been drinking, and I fell.
He didn't touch me, okay?
You made your point.
Are we done?
Get the fuck out of here.
[Door opens, closes]
[Engine revving]
Asshole.
[Grunts]
God!
[Breathing heavily]
JESSE: What happened to the car?
It's all bloody and broken.
And everybody's out there. Mom's out there.
- She seems a little bit mad. - Huh?
So what happened?
Did you hit something? Did you hit another car?
- Oh. Oh. - What happened?
What'd you hit?
It was a deer.
Couldn't stop. Jumped right in front of me.
What happened to you last night?
Mom, Dad, come here!
- What? - Hurry up!
There's something over here! Come on!
- What's going on? - What's wrong?
LEAH: Now what?
What is it?
Oh! Cooper!
KRISTEN: Bastard!
You killed my pony!
JESSE: Kris. Kris, wait up.
Wait for me!
COOPER: Oh, my God.
LEAH: Kristen!
DECLAN: You want us to take care of this, Mr. T?
I didn't do this.
I didn't hit the pony.
Just leave her alone. She's crying.
It was Dale.
Oh.
Last night at the bar, there was this thing.
It was a fight.
- And Dale and I spoke. - Were you drinking?
Yes.
But I did not kill Chester.
How many?
So you were drinking and you hit a deer.
You are absolutely sure that it was a deer?
Yes, I was absolutely sure it was a deer.
Leah, you have got to believe me.
Last night, Dale, he would've killed Stan
if the sheriff hadn't drawn a gun on him.
And he punched out his girlfriend.
If the sheriff hadn't been there,
I don't know what would've happened.
Let's get out of here. Right now.
From whatever is happening. Okay?
We promised we would never put these kids at risk.
Let's just go back.
Go back to what?
We already sold the house. There is no place to go back to.
This is our house. This is our house.
So what, you're not gonna do anything about this?
No. I didn't say that.
I'm gonna give him unofficial warning.
I'm gonna tell him to keep off your property.
That will not do a damn thing.
Then maybe you should take your family back to the city.
Hey.
I will not be intimidated by a thug.
You have it your own way, Mr. Tilson.
I am just trying to help here.
Why don't you call me when you got something to show me?
Hey, Dad.
Hey, son.
Kristen...
Listen, honey.
Sweetheart.
I know you think that I did a terrible thing.
I swear to you I didn't do it.
On my life, honey. I didn't do it.
Dad wouldn't kill Chester.
He's probably gonna kill whoever did it.
All right. That's enough, Jesse.
Cross my heart and hope to die.
Then who would do such a horrible thing?
Hey, fellas.
- Hi. - Hello.
Is that you, Janice?
Oh, you're looking good.
Dale Massie.
When are we gonna have the pleasure of your company?
Soon.
I've just been busy sorting everything out at the house.
Right.
- You walking? - Yeah.
He seems like a nice man.
- Who's that? - Mr. Tilson.
Mm. He's married, Janice. He's got kin.
I didn't mean like that, Dale.
I just meant he seems like a nice guy.
- So you met him, huh? - Yeah.
Where at?
He came by to visit your father the other day.
Why?
He was making a documentary about the house.
He wanted to ask some questions.
Excuse me.
You are a piece of work, man.
Accusing me of trespassing?
Did I say anything when it was my house?
When I was stuck in jail
and you were caught red-handed going through the place,
did I say anything?
No, I didn't.
I didn't say a goddamn thing, 'cause I wouldn't do that.
He had all my personal photographs...
Lorna and the kids... all laid out on the table
on bulletin boards.
Real personal stuff to me.
COOPER: Ruby? Ruby?
Can I get a check, please?
Ain't it cool?
You come tap-dancing in here,
grab the property out from under a guy
who's late on a few payments.
Guess what he paid for the property and the contents.
[Sniffs] Joe?
Joe, take a guess. What do you think it was worth?
Your place is about the same size, right?
Maybe five.
- Try 210 grand. - [Crowd murmurs]
How about that?
How much are you getting for that movie about my family?
Huh?
Oh, don't worry.
I'll be sure and buy the DVD
with that $50 I got for fixing your pool.
[Laughter]
I mean, here I am.
I'm doing my level best to try and be a good neighbor, right?
And you accuse me of being some kind of sadistic prick.
[Coins jingling]
Well, I guess you're just trying to protect your family
the best way you can.
But when I've done wrong,
I own up to it like a man and I set things straight.
That's what I do, Cooper.
We'll have our time, Massie. This isn't it.
I think you're full of shit. That's what I think.
Why don't we go outside right now?
Hit him, Dad. Knock his brains out.
When your man starts pointing fingers,
he better be ready to back it up, don't you think?
Ruby, I got no beef with Mrs. Tilson.
- Out in the car. - Kristen, get in the car.
It's that motherfucker right there that's pissin' me off.
Hammerhead will smash your skull!
Hammerhead will bash your brains!
Throw you down the devil's throat!
[Door opens, closes]
[Creaking]
He killed his children.
I want you to get the kids out of here.
I want you to take them back to the city.
To New York. Just get them out of here.
- What? - Stay with Tina.
- No. You have to come. - Okay?
Just pack enough clothes for a couple of days.
- I'll come as soon as I can. - What?
- I just have to find... - What?
I have to... I have to find more...
- What? - More evidence.
- Bye, Dad. - Bye.
[Birds chirping]
[Sighs]
[Water gurgling]
Bang, went the hammers down till they were all dead.
[Video rewinding]
Bang, went the hammers.
Bang, went the hammers down till they were all dead.
All of them.
[Video rewinding]
Cold Creek Manor.
Always there.
Tammy. Grady.
Lorna.
Always there.
Tammy. Grady.
Lorna.
And straight into the brain. Dead.
Give me another cherry.
Down the devil's throat.
SHERIFF FERGUSON: Jesus Christ.
[Sighs]
What is the devil's throat?
I have no idea.
Mr. Tilson, this here, this is all circumstantial.
This won't hold up in a court of law.
You think they're buried on your property, which is how big?
1,200 acres.
I'll search every inch of it if I have to.
[Sighs] Well, there are two issues here.
Both are relating to Dale Massie.
He's a piece of shit, all right.
But I don't think he's a murderer.
I don't want to believe it.
I don't want to believe that he murdered his wife
and his two small kids.
But he is on to you.
You have absolutely pissed him off.
You should be careful.
So here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna give you a walkie.
It's a secure channel. Keep it with you.
And if you need anything, you just holler.
I'm gonna check in with you on a regular basis.
I will check this all out just to be sure.
Johnny Roth does everybody's teeth around here.
I'm gonna run that engine number, all right?
All right.
[Door closes, engine turns over]
[Telephone dialing]
[Telephone ringing]
KRISTEN: Hey, Mom?
Got it.
Cooper.
Hi. So you made it.
Everyone okay?
Sweetheart, I am so close. I swear.
Then everything is gonna be all right.
Cooper, this is destroying all of us.
Leah, do you remember the other day in the diner
when Jesse shouted something at Dale?
Something about the devil's throat?
You remember that?
I need to talk with him about that.
Cooper, we can't drag the kids into this.
They've been through enough. They're traumatized already.
Just this one thing. It's the key to everything.
- Lf I can find... - [Static]
Cooper?
Leah? Leah?
[Click]
Hello?
Cooper?
[Pulsating tone]
Shit.
Sheriff Ferguson, come in.
Sheriff Ferguson, can you read me?
Howdy, Mr. Tilson.
Listen. Something's strange.
My phone just went down. Is your phone working?
Yeah, it is. But maybe not for long.
We got a storm blowing in.
Listen.
I ran that Honda number, and it matches.
That's Lorna's car, all right.
Now, don't get too excited. It's just circumstantial.
Yes. But maybe I'm not crazy.
It's possible.
Anything's possible.
I'll swing by later on. Over.
Mom.
- Mom. - Yeah?
We have to talk to you.
Sure.
Show her.
Um...
[Door closes]
You fix that front gate?
Yes, sir.
I took care of it on Tuesday.
I put in three new hinge bolts. She's as good as new.
Hey, look.
I brought your favorite.
You're lying.
Sir?
You lost the farm.
Where'd you hear a crazy thing like that, sir?
That's not true.
Here. Have a chocolate.
- I got the ones with the dark... - Don't you lie to me, boy.
You're the corrupt spawn of your whoring mother.
I saw it.
I saw you.
Shut up. Please.
Please, sir. Just shut up.
I saw everything. [Chuckles]
Everything you did.
She told you she was leaving you and taking the kids.
They weren't even your kids.
See, you couldn't even make babies.
Useless.
You're not even a man.
Not even a man.
"Pooh. Pooh." [Chuckles]
You couldn't kill an animal.
But you killed them.
Hey, what'd you do with the bodies, boy?
I buried them, sir.
Is that what you did, boy?
Yeah.
Are you ready for a cherry, sir?
I'll get you a good one.
[Sniffs]
Here you go, Pop.
[Chuckles]
[Sniffs] You got a little chocolate here.
[Muffled grunting]
She was doing it with everyone.
You hear me? With everyone.
She told me.
She did everyone!
[Grunting stops]
[Sighs]
[Water dripping]
[Sniffs]
Nurse!
[Sobs]
Nurse!
[Paper rustling]
[Creaking]
[Grunts]
Oh, my God!
- Leah. - [Groans]
Leah.
Leah? Are you all right?
I know where it is.
What?
The devil's throat.
The kids found it when we first moved in.
I got two speeding tickets trying to get here.
And I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.
COOPER: God, we have brilliant children.
LEAH: Yes, we do.
Annie. I'm going for a smoke break.
All right.
Yeah, hi.
Yeah, this is Sheriff Ferguson. I had a question for Dr. Roth.
No, I understand. Are you his assistant?
What I wanted to know was did he treat the Massie children,
Tammy and Grady?
Look. There's an edge.
Hey. Look.
Take this off.
- Help me lift this. - [Grunts]
Lift. Lift.
Oh!
[Coughs] Oh, my God.
Oh.
- Be careful. - Oh, Jesus.
Annie, I'm here.
Hey, Rose. Where's Annie?
I don't know. She must have stepped out.
[Indistinct talking on police radio]
- [Sighs] - Have a good one.
[Thunder rumbles]
I'm gonna lower the video camera.
See what's down there.
[Camera beeps]
It's on.
Here.
You know, it's getting dark.
Maybe we should come back tomorrow.
Just five more minutes, all right?
Then we'll go.
Night vision.
Okay. Hold the light.
[Water dripping]
Down.
[Thunder rumbles]
[Water sloshing]
Here.
Okay. It's down.
- Wait. - What?
- I saw something. Go back. - Where?
- Back a few frames. - Back?
[Exhales sharply]
What is that?
Oh, my... Oh, my God.
[Walkie-talkie crackles]
Do you read me?
Yeah, sheriff. Sheriff, I read you.
Listen. We found the devil's throat.
They're down there. The bodies.
I'm at the house. Where are you?
[Static]
Uh, we're close by.
Listen. Just take the back road.
Cut across the first field. You're gonna see my truck.
I'll come meet you.
Okay. Over.
[Sighs]
[Static]
Sheriff, I don't see you.
[Thunder rumbles]
Oh, my God.
Oh!
COOPER: Sheriff, do you read me?
What is your position?
Devil's throat, Mr. Tilson.
Hi, Leah.
[Screams]
[Rapid footsteps]
[Gasps, screams]
[Grunts]
Leah!
Cooper!
Hang on!
Cooper, it's Dale!
It's Dale! It's Dale! Look out!
[Whimpering] Oh, Cooper!
Leah!
You're gonna be all right.
Grab that vine.
Oh!
I'm here, honey. I'm here.
- I'm not gonna let you go. - Cooper, he's up there!
Don't worry about that. Come on.
Just get out of here.
[Grunting]
Take another step, honey.
[Grunts]
That's it.
[Thunder rumbles]
Come on, honey.
Grab the rope.
Keep hold of the rope.
That's it.
Come on, baby.
That's it. I got you.
Come on.
[Wind howling]
LEAH: Ow! Careful!
COOPER: We'll take the Jeep.
We'll get to a pay phone. Call the sheriff.
[Thunder rumbles]
[Crying] I saw them! I saw them in there!
Oh!
Oh, my God!
Son of a bitch!
Let's get in the house.
What are we gonna do?
Let's have a look at your ankle. Come on.
Get on the table.
[Grunts]
Let me see.
Is it cut?
Shit.
[Screams]
Cooper!
Leah!
[Grunts]
You motherfuckers!
[Grunts]
[Muffled scream]
[Dale grunting]
Give me the flashlight.
Go upstairs. Hide.
- Go! Go! Go! - I'll never go without you.
[Glass shatters]
Come on, motherfucker!
[Dale shouting in distance]
Cooper?
[Wind whistling]
[Muffled scream]
Shh.
It's me.
Shh.
Let's go this way.
You scared the shit out of me.
Shh.
[Glass shatters, Leah screams]
[Gasping]
- Open it! - [Doorknob rattles]
- It won't open! - We're trapped!
Up.
[Thunder crashes]
Come on!
[Leah screams]
You guys should have stayed in New York.
This isn't the place for you.
You know nothing about farming.
Dale, what are you doing?
What do you want?
It's a little too late for "want," Leah.
"Do" is something, though.
What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna smash both your skulls in
and throw you down the devil's throat.
That's what I'm gonna do.
How'd you like it down there? Huh?
Did you see my family down there?
Did you meet them?
What? You gonna throw those at me?
Whoa!
Try and hit me, Leah.
[Grunts]
Oh, fuck!
No good, Cooper.
I could have fucked her anytime I wanted to.
Just like the rest of them.
Bunch of fucking whores.
LEAH: No!
Whoops. Did I hear a bone crack, Coop?
Let me tell you what's gonna happen.
It's only fair that you should know.
It's gonna be real quick. Real painless.
A blow to each of your heads.
And then I'm gonna throw your bodies down that hole.
It's that simple.
I got a question for you, though.
Do you think I'm nuts?
Quick. Yes or no?
No.
Wrong.
I got another question. Yeah.
You know what? Fuck it.
Let's just do this.
Get up.
I said get up! Now!
You got anything you want to say?
Any last words?
[Screams]
Keep it tight, Leah!
[Dale grunting]
Looking for this? Huh?
Keep those legs down!
[Screams]
What's the matter, Dale? Did I hear a bone crack?
How's it feel, Dale?
You fuck!
[Screams]
Get out of my house!
[Screaming]
