Do you know what time it is?
I... I bet it's early.
I completely lose track.
uh, I'm so, so sorry.
we were just walking by your
place and noticed your car,
And we thought this, uh
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 got a place on the water
down the way there, and, uh...
we were actually hiking near
Your property and my son here
noticed you were around.
and, uh, so we thought we would
Bring some spare wood over as
A kind of welcoming gift.
You know there's, uh...
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, uh, I'm mark.
It's nice to meet you.
Hey. Hey.
Mark what?
Uh, Hughes.
we're the sakowskis.
Was that you in the, uh, car
Last night out by the mailboxes?
No, 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, uh, I'm just, I'm so sorry.
We've got you out of bed,
I know how...
No, that's hey.
that's fine.
This is, uh, this is
My son, Brendan.
Bobby: Hey, Brendan.
I'm Bobby, or Bob.
This is my wife Jane, boy Jared.
Say Brendan, how old are you?
Eight and three quarters.
Is that so?
Because this one...
Just turned nine.
A few weeks back.
Is that right?
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, um,
Don't hesitate to ask.
No, no.
No, no, no, no, not at all.
It was great to meet you, mark.
Uh, 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?
We'll let the kids play.
We could get to know each other.
Maybe dressed?
We'll see, we'll see.
No, o.K., good!
Um...
Come on, honey, another time.
Baby, come on, come on.

I'm sorry, 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.
I'll bring you
Something healthy.
good, something healthy.
Don't you put yourself out,
Now, o.K.?
O.K.
All right, mark.
Great to meet you, you know?
Nice to meet you.
Good to meet the neighbors.
Enjoy the wood.

Get a nice little fire
Going there, huh?
Jane: So nice.
Mark: Oh, it's beautiful.
No! [Giggles]
You have to stop.
Bye. [Phone beeps]
Who was that?
It was the neighbors.
Who was on the phone?
Oh, my sister.
She's back on the east coast.
How is she?
Oh, same old.
She says hello.
Hello.
What neighbor?
The, um...
The neighbors.
The sakowskis.
Who?

Well, what was so important
they had to wake us up?
they brought us some firewood
And wanted to come over
For lunch or something.
bring food and meet us.
And you already said that
Was fine, didn't you?
Huh?
[sighs]
Mark. Give me a break,
what was I supposed to say?
"I can't, we're busy,"
Then they see we're not?
No, you tell them...
I can go tell them it's no good.
No, let's just get
[Bird coos]
Mark: Uh, no, no.
We're up at the cottage.

Uh, yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, listen.
what are you up to?
Are you interested in coming up
For a night or two?
Yeah.
[Knocking]
[Door opens, Harris barks]
Hey no, come here.
Oh, hey.
The door opened when I knocked.
Brendan!
Call Harris.
Brendan: Come on, Harris.
hi. Brendan: Come on!
Sorry, how did that
door open?
Uh... I knocked and
it just...
You know what, I'm gonna take
A look at it for you.
[Door closes]
No, no, that's fine.
Mary: One second... o.K.
Bobby: It's just kind
Of stuck.
Mark: Hold on a second, Bob.
Mary: It's all right.
Mark: Bob.
o.K., hi.
I'm Jane, and this is Bobby,
My husband Bob, as he prefers.
And our son, Jared.
Hi, I'm Mary.
Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you, thanks.
Thank you.
I'm sorry?
I mean, you're welcome.
I'm silly!
Hello.
My mother's name was Mary.
oh, is that right?
Mary borden anwright
Was her full name. Oh.
She was a lovely lady.
Good.
I'm Bob.
I'm so sorry if we woke
You this morning.
I had no idea what time it was.
This guy wakes up so early.
Doesn't he?
No, it's no problem.
Come on, come on in.
[Sighs]
I'm an early riser anyway.
oh, look at this.
you know I prefer to leave
Those everyday restrictions
Like time.
Up here, anything goes.
Right, mark?
That's the goal, yes.
[Bobby whistles]
Thank you.
I'll take those.
Jane: By the way,
It's nothing special.
Mary: Oh.
Hey, now that's just
plain modesty.
I'm actually not a salad eater,
But that is surely special.
Gosh.
Oh, I'm sure it's delicious.
Thank you for these.
Mary: Let me take your coats.
Hey, Mary.
Did, uh, did mark tell you?
what?
About the wood we left
For you?
Oh, thank you, yes.
We appreciate it.
So how is it living up here?
you must get pretty lonely.
Who said that we
Lived up here?
I just, uh...
I just assumed.
don't you?
Well, for the
time being, sure.
But we got our eyes peeled
For something much better.
I like being alone, so...
It suits me just fine.
and Jared too, right, hun?
Mary: Right, well, don't you
miss your friends though, Jared?
you know there was another
Family lived up here
For a while recently.
Had a boy about his age.
Oh, who's that?
Smith was their name.
Lived out of a car up the road.
what kind of car?
It was a big beat-up
Old station wagon.
Sounded light a freight train.
No, they were a real...
Sorry-looking bunch.
Low, low, class.
you know?
Kind of a strange air
About them too, huh?
So what happened to them?
They're gone.
I checked.
not even a tire track.
I think we, uh, I think we
saw them leaving last night.
Bobby: Well, we're better
Off, trust me.
I walked over today.
Do you ever walk around
Here, Mary?
No, no, not lately.
not much, no.
mark: She'd get lost on her
Way to the washroom without
A g.P.S. [Chuckles]
Can I offer anyone some wine?
I mean, we're really...
we don't have a big selection
Of whites, we're mostly red
drinkers, but, um...
we do have a chardonnay from
New Zealand that is unreal,
And a Pinot, Merlot, syrah.
what can I get you?
Jane: I'll have whatever
You're having, Mary.
O.K., great.
And what about for you, Bob?
[Whispers] Bobby.
[Gasps] What?
Would you like a beer, Bob?
Is your boy upstairs?
Excuse me?
Your boy, uh, Brendan?
Is he upstairs?
oh, sure.
All right, squirt,
you head up for dad.
Oh, actually Jared, I'd
prefer it if you wait down here.
I'll bring Brendan down
In a minute.
There you go.
thanks.
You know, I bet none of the
Kids your age pick on you, huh?
[chuckles]
I got a hunting rifle for
My birthday.
Oh.
Wow, that's...
Happy belated birthday.
Brendan: Come on.
[Harris barks]
Go ahead, go ahead, come on.
Do you want the stick?
Are you sure you want the stick?
Go get it.
[Harris continues barking]
Good boy.
Go get the stick.
There you go...
You want one?
Oh...
she loathes these things.
Won't get near me for days if
She smells it on me.
[chuckles]
Well, you're just gonna have to
Hide it extra hard, then.
Thank you.
[Harris barks in background]
thank you.
Hey, let me ask you
something.
What time does mark usually go
To bed at night?
I don't know, it depends.
why?
I'm sleeping a lot lately
And, uh, Jane keeps telling me
it's not normal.
[Chuckles] Well, what's
Normal? [Scoffs]
what, that's funny to you?
No, it's a good question,
is what it is.
You know, it sure is good of you
To have us in your home tonight.
Well, not at all.
[Harris barks in distance]
So, sakowski, that's Polish?
Mm-hmm.
Are you both from there?
Hmm?
Are you Polish too?
No, that's just Bobby.
[Clears throat]
It's just, I don't...
I don't hear an accent from Bob.
we actually, it was, um,
It was just his folks that lived
there, in Poland, I mean.
We both never set foot there,
You're a good man,
I can tell.
So, how long have you two been
married?
Who's the four eyes?
[Laughs]
Those are mark's.
you got any siblings?
Mm-hmm, I have a sister,
Lizzy.
how about mark?
Mm-hmm, he has a younger
brother.
You get along with his
brother?
Those glasses look funny
On you.
Yeah? Mm-hmm.
[sniffles]
I don't know, I could kind of
get used to 'em.
So, what, mark doesn't get along
with his brother, then?
you know, they've had their
Ups and downs like any siblings,
But... no, they talk a lot now.
it's good.
What do they usually
disagree over?
I guess they just didn't see
Eye-to-eye on most things.
like what?
You're an awfully curious
Fella.
What... hmm?
I'm just teasing you, Mary.
It's my way of coping with
nerves, truly.
Well, what are you
nervous about?
You're a beautiful
Lady, Mary.
you're a wonderful lunch.
I am just looking to learn
something here.
Well, you can be whoever you
are around me, Bob.
Just take mark's glasses off,
Can I see Brendan's room?
Mary: Um...
If it's o.K. With Brendan,
Mary and mark, it's o.K.
With me.
Can I see your room, Brendan?
yeah, I don't know, maybe.
you know, why don't you go
upstairs and show Jared your
Bob, you said before that you
Had a, um, conversation with
That family?
Which?
the ones living in the car.
I'm just, I'm curious what
You said to them.
The, uh... the smiths.
Oh.
Well... [clears throat]
What I said was...
"be gone."
You know, "this is a nice
neighborhood.
We don't take to loitering
Kindly and..."
You know, "have a nice day."
how'd they take that?
Well, they basically
apologized.
they said, you know, they were
Just trying to get along like
the rest of us.
actually, they said the
government had possessed their
Home and everything with it, and
they were just... [sighs]
Looking for what everyone wants,
I suppose.
The good life...
Which you both know all about.
[both chuckle]
Well, everyone has baggage,
Though.
Oh, shit!
Look at that.
Bobby is such a klutz.
Hush.
Mary: It's o.K.
Mark...
Mark: Yeah, I'll get a...
I'll get a shirt.
[Mary sighs]
Mary: Is Jared in school?
You're sure Mr. mom,
aren't you, mark?
no, we decided it's better
He learn from us than some busy
school.
I watch the crowds of kids
flooding into those places
and I think, what kind of
learning goes on with that many
Energetic kids stuffed into a
Little building? [Chuckles]
mm-hmm.
I was home-schooled myself,
So...
Here you go.
thanks, I...
I got it all over my pants
As well; It looks like I
Urinated myself.
Well, how...
Old were you when you had Jared?
Oh...
This is a beautiful shirt.
young.
So, what do you do for a
Living, Bob?
What do I do for a living?
Yeah.
oh, this and that.
Say, mark, what do you prefer,
Your boat or your car?
What? Um...
My boat or my car... I don't...
Um, I, why?
No reason.
What about you, Mary?
What's your work life like?
Like, what do you do?
I'm a real estate developer.
Wow... wow.
And you, mark, what do you do?
mark: I'm a lawyer.
I've never had supper with
A lawyer before.
Mark: I don't recommend it.
or a developer, Mary.
Why? Are lawyers not
Very nice?
It was, it was... sorry.
It was... a bad joke.
It was a bad joke.
Who's the, uh, little, uh, girl
With blonde hair that I saw in
the photograph?
Mary: That's our daughter,
Tess.
Bobby: No shit.
Where is she?
uh...
She died in an accident not too
Long ago.
Oh, no.
What kind of accident?
A car accident.
Do you want a water?
do you want a water?
Jane: I'm sorry about
Your girl.
I don't know what I'd do.
[Crickets chirping outside]
thank you.
Jane: You're strong, though,
I can tell.
you'll get over it.
actually, I don't think
It's something you ever really
get over.
I bet you have another
Beautiful home someplace else,
Don't you?
What?
Another home.
You got one?
Sure, yes.
Where, exactly?
Um, claremont.
In claremont.
That so?
Which neighborhood?
Mary: Why?
I'm sorry, we're not... um,
Comfortable telling you that,
Bob, right now.
You're not comfortable
Telling me that...
Right now?
[♪...]
I don't understand.
Well, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna get us some water.

You gonna come?
Sure, let's get some water.

What it is you all do to be
Like this.
We want this.
Like what?

Controllers clicking...]

Uh, he's in the next room,
I think.
let's go play with it.
Nah, I don't want to
Right now.
Yes yes!
I did it!
I beat you!
That's like the fifth time
In a row!
You suck at this.
Yeah?
[Breathing heavily]
Yeah, well, I could beat you.
[Brendan whimpers]
What, are you gonna tell?
No... no, you're not.
Stop.
Yeah, yeah, I beat you.
[Shouts] Mom!
Mom!
Mark: What happened?
Mary: What happened?
Oh, God, what is it?

O.K., just give him a minute,
Mark.
[Brendan whimpers, panting]
Jared: Mom!
Mom?
Jane: Are you o.K.? No.
Bobby: Calm down, buddy,

Playing the game and he punched

That's not true, you stupid
Asshole!

It's o.K., that's enough.

We said it's time to call it
A night.

Bobby: You think we
Should go?

Jared: I'm sorry, I didn't
Mean to beat him at the game.
You liar!
Mary: Shh... it's o.K.

Mary: No, I don't think so.
Bobby: Just kids having fun.
Mark: I'm sorry, you should,
You should leave.

I think we should call it
A night.
and we'll see you tomorrow.
No, I think it's best that we
Stay apart.
Mary: Please leave.
Bobby: You think we should
Stay apart?
o.K., let's go wash up.
Jane: Please, he didn't mean
To do anything bad.
Jared: I didn't do anything.
Mark: Thank you for
coming over, please.
Bobby: Thank you for having
Us over.
Jane: Go apologize!
if Jared in some way has
Upset Brendan, then we
Apologize.
Mark: Please, Bob, come on.
Mary: Please...

Thank you for having us.
It's been a wonderful night.
O.K.

Mary: Mark?
I'm o.K.
What was that?
[Light switch clicks]
Mark?
[Sighs nervously]
Mark?
Mark, you scared me.

I'm not comfortable staying
Here, just us are you?

Toby's gonna head up tonight,
Then I say we go back tomorrow.
This isn't relaxing.
no, I don't want to leave.
And since when is your brother
Coming up?
He needed a break.
A break from what?
he sounded stressed.
[Scoffs] Toby doesn't get
stressed.
He'll be gone by tomorrow,
If he even decides to come.
He probably won't.
Mark... What?
maybe I just wanted to see him!
No, you didn't want to see
Me, is what this is.
That's not true.
yeah, you've ruined this.
First the sakowskis and now
your brother?
no, listen to me
Just let me breathe for
A minute.
[Crickets chirping]
I'm sorry.

we'll drop the little man off at
your mother's house for a few
Days, and then we'll take off to
Some overpriced resort.
I want to be alone with you.
Some overpriced resort?
That's your solution?
Yes.
Really.
I promise.

We'll do something when we
get back.
We'll take him away somewhere,

Our landline is dead.
Run for the car.
No, we can't.
We have a gun.

We can protect ourselves
Listen to me.
they slashed the tires.
You remember a landline at
the grandlands, right?
Um, uh... there's a phone on
The wall in the kitchen.
What about your brother?
I don't think he'll come.
If he does, it's not going
To be for a while.

you know that I'm back.
I'll call your names so
You know it's me.
[cries] No, don't leave.
you're going to be the man
Of the house until
I get back, o.K.?
No.
All right, go upstairs.
Come on.
I'll wait until I hear
The door shut.
Dad...
[♪...]
What's taking him so long?
I could've run there
And back by now.
oh, is that right?
Yeah, I can run way faster
Than dad.
mm, I don't know.
no, he was 100 meter champion
Two years in a row in our
high school.
I mean, I saw him beat guys with
Legs taller than you so...
You saw him win?
Sure.
Both times.
Twice?
yeah.
You know, the day I met your
father was at a track meet.
And... yeah, I was a senior and
he was a junior.
And I was handing out water
to the athletes.
And I saw him coming out from
This huge group of girls.
oh, he was so handsome.
yeah, practically every girl in
Town, they looked at him like
He was a superhero.
hmm.
but he made his way to me and
He said, "could I have
a water, Mary?"
and I looked at him and
I thought, "you're not
a superhero."
But I fell in love with him
Brendan: Don't look.
[Mary groans]
[Brendan urinates]
When's dad gonna be back?
I bet before you know it.
Ah!
[Explosion on television]
[Pounding]
Shh.
Bobby: Mary?
I've got a gift for ya.
Please take everything,
Just leave us alone.
Mark: Mary, stay there!
[Mark grunts, ♪...]
Please, what do you want?
Please tell us what you want.
[mark grunts]
Bobby: What I want is for
You to put down
Don't fucking move!
[dull thuds]
put down the gun that you've got
Pointed at the door and
walk out here...
Or we can find a new daddy
For Brendan.
[Mark grunts]
It's your choice, Mary.
Don't let him hurt dad.
Put your gun down.
Bobby: Uh...
Keep your hands in the air.
[mark breathes heavily]
[Whispers] Stay close,
Brendan.
Dad?
Help! [Groans]
I like your ability
[Clicks tongue]
Get up.
Get up!
On your feet.
Downstairs.
[♪...]
No, my dad said don't move.
You'll never believe how
Sorry I am, will you?
[Whispers] Please let us go.
I can't.
Bob would leave me.
no, he won't, he loves you.
and you can come with us,
We'll take care of you if
You're scared.
Please, Jane.
[Footsteps upstairs]
Take care of me how?
Mary: Food, money, clothing.
Whatever you want.
Jane, please, I am begging you.
Uh-uh.
no.
Can, can my little
Brother come?
Who?
Jared?
yes.
when he took us from our
home, I was 16, and he saved me
From a life of darkness
and betrayal.
Please, we don't have
Any time.
Please take the gun.
No, I couldn't.
He'd be mad.
I can't have that.
You understand, don't you?
You love each other.
What if, what if mark left you?
Imagine.
it hurts, don't it?
He's not as bad as you think,
I promise.
He just he has dreams.
[Door closes]
his real wife died, you know.
she had cancer and they couldn't
Afford it and he told us all
About her.
she was wonderful.
[Footsteps approach,
door closes]
All right, son, you can sit
down now.
Well, nobody got shot, so that's
a good thing.
I'm guessing you don't like me
Too much at this point, huh?
little man?
Did you kill my dog just
Because you're a coward?
Hey, hey.
I would never kill a dog.
Would you kill a dog, Brendan?
How about you, Jared?
Would you kill a dog?
Mark: Where's our dog, Bob?
[Scoffs] That's your concern?
Seriously?
and my name isn't Bob, o.K.?
Do I look like a Bob or a
Bobby to you?
Do I look like a fat, ugly pole?
No, my name...
Is mark.
You're not sakowski, are you?
he didn't even have a boy.
Just a mouthy, stupid,
fuckin' wife.
[Scoffs] You should've paid more
Attention, Mr. lawyer.
Should've worn your glasses.
Who are you?
Well, we are...
Honey?
Confused.
we're a little confused.
See the list goes on, so it's
kind of hard to keep track.
What's important is who people
Think we are.
Who we feel like we are.
you know what?
I should not have spoken
badly about that polack.
Honey, I should not have
done that.
his life has led us to you
I mean, could you raise a family
In a beat-up old
Station wagon, mark?
No, don't answer that.
Of course you wouldn't.
you wouldn't even try.
That's not the way to have
the ideal family.
So, here's the DEA
[Car engine rumbles, ♪...]
Stay there.
Best behavior.
Who is that?
[Cocks gun]
No, no!
Who the fuck is that, mark?
Man: Hello?
Hello?
Hey, bro.
Hey.
How're you doing?
uh... You o.K.?
Yeah, what, um,
How was the drive?
oh, it was good.
There was barely another car on
The road for the past hour.
Mary: Hi...
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Hey.
and where's Harris?
Hi, there, younger brother,
They call me slim Jim.
And this here is my wife, Tess.
Nice to meet you, I'm Toby.
Jane: Hey, there, Toby.
hey, now, your brother's been
Reluctantly sharing a few good
stories about you two.
Rumor has it you weren't the
easiest of all boys to raise.
Well, that's one way of
Putting it, I guess.
[Laughs] Um...
Slim Jim and... Tess, uh...
moved in last year.
Almost a year ago today,
believe it or not.
God damn, has it been that long
Already? Seems so.
don't time fly?
Well, it's nice to meet
You both.
Bobby: Likewise.
so where's the little guy?
Oh, he's, um, he's upstairs
playing. [Chuckles]
Brendan: [Whimpering] No, no,
No, no.
Are you hungry?
no, I'm, uh, I'm good.
I had some mystery meat from the
Gas station on the way up.
I didn't think it was good.
Tell me, what brings you up
here tonight, Toby?
well, this is our family
Place, so I spend quite a bit
Of time up here.
Is that so?
Yeah, it's our grandfather's.
He left it for us.
Where's Harris?
He's around here somewhere.
So, where you from?
Well...
my pa was a military man,
among other things, and after my
Mother and sister died, I was
Just a young boy.
he just couldn't sit still.
Fear of his insanity catching up
With him, I always assumed.
yeah, he took it pretty bad.
anyway, long story short,
I've lived just about everywhere
You could probably name,
young man.
That must've made you
A bit crazy, huh?
[Mary giggles]
Well, I found out a lot
about myself.
I got to realize I could be just
about anyone I want... long as
I'm prepared to make the
appropriate sacrifices.
Mark: Where's your, uh,
Where's your bags?
didn't you bring clothes?
Yeah, I, uh, I left it
In the car.
Bring it in.
Toby: Sure.
You know, I need
