HELEN:
Okay.

AL:
There we are.

TOM:
Where's the dock?

AL:
Oh. Looks like

she let her go.

TOM:
Well, do you think

someone could have found him?

AL:
Nah, no.

No, the power's out

in the whole region.

I mean they're there, right.

TOM:
We going to

have to wade in?

AL:
No way, the water's freezing.

We could uhh...

Well, right there.

How about that.

HELEN:
Oh God.

[BOAT MOTOR THROTTLES

UP THEN CUTS OUT]

[TENSE SCORE]

WILL:
F***.

HELEN:
Oh!

Oh, sh*t!

WILL:
Come on, come on.

HELEN:
Okay! I'm sorry.

WILL:
We need to separate. Use

the rifle, don't hesitate.

HELEN:
No, no, no. If we

separate, I can't protect you.

WILL:
He's not after you.

Get the f*** out of here.

Go! Go!

HELEN:
Will!

Sh*t!

AL:
No one there.

Must have gone

in the woods, eh?

So, if you want

I'll go around the outside

and you can shoot

right in there.

TOM:
Okay.

AL:
Yeah? Alright.

[TWIG SNAPS]

HELEN:
Sh*t.

[FOOTSTEPS]

HELEN:
Oh God.

HELEN:
Ah!!

Ah!!

Oh, God.

TOM:
Really?

TOM:
This is nice.

I like this.

I could get used to this.

I'm Tom.

HELEN:
Helen.

TOM:
Sorry you got

caught up in all this.

Well, this one's fun.

Is that your husband?

HELEN:
Yeah.

TOM:
He a good guy?

HELEN:
I think so.

TOM:
Got any coffee?

So what are you doing out

here all alone, then?

HELEN:
Peace and quiet.

TOM:
I can understand that.

I'm a city boy myself.

30 f***ing years, it wears

you down, I'm telling you.

It's become so uncivilized.

Do you know what I mean?

Thank you.

Did you love him?

How long were you together for?

HELEN:
32 years.

TOM:
A lifetime.

HELEN:
Not quite.

TOM:
Hm.

HELEN:
Huh.

TOM:
He's going to die tonight.

Will, he's going

to die tonight.

I mean we're all going to die.

But he's going to die tonight.

Which is funny.

Don't you think?

I mean to know

and then you get

up in the morning

you go about your day and then

it's all over.

You die.

He's nothing like

me, you know that.

I was proud of that.

And he was always a

little bit timid.

You know? [LAUGHS]

A little bit fearful.

He was sweet, really.

He always took people

at their word, you know.

He was a He was a literal boy.

He was a simple boy.

Done work all over Calgary.

A bit of roofing.

A bit of brick-laying.

[DOOR OPENS]

AL:
Hey, miss.

Hey, I'm not going to

find him by myself, right?

I need help out there, right?

I mean, it's pretty--

HELEN:
Ah!

TOM:
Yeah, he's probably

on his way to me anyway.

People go through their lives

they take them for

granted, don't you think?

I mean that

everything's going

to be fine and

you can only fall so far

and someone will be

there to catch you.
