Yes, it will.

Coffee's hot.

We don't know the

first thing about her.

So we just ship her back

to Henry Minton at the prison?

That'll be a fine thank you

for her getting me to Lewiston.

I'm going to need someone around here

until I'm back on my feet.

Shelby can look

after the Grill...

Shelby!

You're always carping

on how numb she is...

...so Shelby'll just

cure everything...

...I'm sure.

Ever since Eli...

I'm responsible for

you now, Hannah.

Well, that's queer...

...'cause I don't recall asking you

or anyone else...

...to take over my life for me.

So until I forget my name...

...or start drooling at the mouth...

...I'll thank you to allow me

to make my own decisions.

I won't be...

...in this bed forever, you know.

Until then...

...Percy can manage things.

Sorry.

Hannah, I was going to head up.

- Can I get you anything before I go?

- No, I'm fine.

But...

...Glacier and I both are

having trouble imagining...

...just who exactly it was

taught you how to cook.

I never really had much more

than fast food growing up...

...and if any of that was really cooked,

you could've fooled me.

I know I'm making a mess of it.

If not for the food,

they'd find something else...

...to complain about.

Right.

Good night, then.

Percy?

Percy?

There might...

...still be one thing

that needs doing.

You'll find a canvas sack...

...in the office.

It needs to have these canned

goods put in it and then...

...placed outside near that stump.

Then you can go on to bed

and get your rest.

Think you can just do that?

I'll see to it.

Not to worry.

Percy...

Make sure that the axe goes

in the stump...

...before someone steps on it

and gets hurt.

Sure.

'Morning.

'Morning.

This is Molly.

I'm afraid Nahum didn't think of all

the details when he asked me in here.

I brought a playpen for her...

...and she shouldn't

be any bother.

Is that okay with you?

Hell, it's gotta be a lot more

your place than mine.

- Set her wherever you like.

- Thanks...

...Percy.

It'll just be a second.

There we go.

There we go.

Bacon.

Damn, this is good.

It's nothing special.

It's a far sight better than

when Hannah makes it.

You just don't know any better.

Anything's gotta taste good

after eating food...

I'm...

...sorry.

I shouldn't have said anything.

I didn't exactly make a secret

of where I've been.

Not exactly.

You saved my bacon

in here today, Shelby.

After things got sorted out...

...it went pretty good, didn't it?

- Yeah.

You can say that twice

and mean it.

I better get going.

Nahum'll be waiting.

Good night.

Good night.

Wait.

Wait!

I don't mean you no harm.

I thought you might want something

different in the bag, that's all.
