Conditions are expected

to worsen across the Twin Cities

as temperatures drop.

Further northwest, we'll see up to eight inches

with nearly a foot towards Nemadji.

Whiteout conditions are likely

throughout northern Minnesota with winds up to 60 mph.

State agencies are encouraging drivers to stay off the roads...

For crying out loud!

Oh, Lord!

You had to pick the middle of nowhere.

Oh!

Oh! Uff da!

Oh!

Hello!

Excuse me!

Aah! - Oh, whoa! Oh!

Hey there.

Oh, my! Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare ya.

What are you doing up here?

Fishing.

Just a little fishing.

By yourself?

Yeah.

Used to come up here with my husband, though.

Long time ago.

You wouldn't happen to know where a Lake Hilda is, would ya?

Yeah.

Just back over the hill here.

If you're driving, you gotta go the long way round.

Okey-doke.

Sure appreciate it.

Say...

You doin' OK?

Just thought I...

Deer.

OK.

Well, stay warm.

It's a lot easier.

Yeah. - All right.

Oh!

Are you sure it's safe out here? - Oh, yeah, yeah.

Got to be seven or eight inches, easy. Look, look.

Ain't helping your case any. - Oh, we'll be fine. I promise...

Oh!

Come on. Do you always give up that easy, huh?

This thing's a piece of junk. - No, it ain't.

Here.

Come on.

No, other way.

There you go. - OK.

Jeez, you can get off me now.

OK.

Know where Greta Larsen's boyfriend took her on their first date?

No.

Where?

Dancin'.

Mm-hm. - Down at the VFW.

Are you tryin' to say somethin' here?

Just statin' facts is all.

Oh, yeah? Skol.

Skol, Karl.

Oh...

No! Get back here, you little bitch!

Next shot I won't miss. Stupid little bitch!

Try that again... and you're dead.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Oh...

Come on, come on.

You gotta be kidding me!

Yeah, I know, I know!

Oh...

You hurt?

You alone?

Oh! -

She down there?

Yeah.

Any snags? - Nope.

You sure?

She was where you said she'd be, coming out of the pharmacy.

Grabbed her in the alley. No one saw shit.

You didn't feed her, did ya?

Course not. Think I'm an idiot?

You're not gonna say thank you?

For what? - I don't know.

Gettin' the girl?

Breaking into St Luke's and stealing half their supply closet?

Driving out to find your ass?

Digging your truck out of the snow?

You'd still be out there freezing your tits off if I hadn't gone looking for you.

What the fuck? I said no booze!

I'm not fucking around! You can get as drunk as you want when we're done.

I'm not drunk! - Enough!

I'm gonna rest while you sober up.

Then we can unpack the truck.

Hon!

OK?

Fuck!

What the fuck is this?

Um, a mitten?

Yeah, I know it's a fucking mitten. Where'd it come from?

The mitten store? - Are you trying to piss me off?

Whose is it? - I don't know.

A lady stopped by. She maybe dropped it. - A fucking lady stopped by?

Yeah, some dumb old bitch. - You didn't think that was pertinent?

It was two seconds. She didn't see shit. - Well, she clearly fucking did!

What did she want?

I gave her directions to the lake.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you to stop being so nice to people.

They take advantage.

Well, she was lost. - Come on!

Well, where are we going?

To tidy up your fucking mess!

Aagh!

Oh! Oh, shit!

Come here! Over here.

Get me out! - Give me your fucking hand!

Aagh! Holy shit! - I'll help you. Come on!

Oh, shit! - Come on! Come on!

Hello?

Holy...

It's OK, hon.

It's OK.

I'm the...

I'm the lady from the window.

Oh!

Took a tumble there.

Let's get that off ya.

It's real stuck.

OK, let's just do it fast. OK.

One, two, three.

Sorry. Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, sweetheart, where's the key? Where's the key, honey?

I don't know. - Damn!

Sorry. Didn't mean to cuss.

Don't leave. Please don't leave me!

No, no, no, no. I'm not leavin' you, sweetie.

I'm not leavin' ya.

A promise is a promise.

I'm just gonna find something to get you out of those cuffs. Just hang tight now.

Oh...

Oh!

Aagh!

Oh!

Oh, agh...

Agh...

Who the fuck is this cow?

Jesus!

Fuck!

Shit!

It's fuckin' freezin' in here.

Do we have any more matches? - The cupboard.

I'm checking the fucking cupboard!

Oh, goddamn it, where's our bags? -

Bitch!

Fuck!

Look for something dry!

There's got to be something.

Maybe I'll just take a hot bath. - No, you're hypothermic. It'll kill you.

We need to strip you down and warm you up slowly with a dry heat.

There's blankets in my truck. Fucking-A right!

Uff da.

Oh...

Oh!

Eeh!

Oh, oh!

Oh... Oh!

Oh, oh...

Oh! Uh, uh...

Oh!

Hey, do me a favor and grab me one of those grub-barb lures.

Should be in the tackle box in the bottom left.

Why, did your legs stop working? - Hmm?

Will you?

You gotta be kiddin' me.

Fuck! - Oh...

We're running out of time.

I've got pins and needles in my skin.

You need to get your ass in gear and get all the supplies down to the lake.

Get everything set up.

Right now? I'm... I'm freezing, though.

We don't have a choice.

Just give me a feckin' minute here. My clothes ain't even dry.

There ain't fucking time. We need to get to Littlefork by morning!

You know what happens if we miss this fucking surgeon.

O-OK.

OK.

Why don't we just do it here?

The environment needs to be pristine.

Well, let's just clean it and get some bleach and shit.

Which one of us spent the last fucking decade working in an O.R.?

Yeah... - I know what I'm doing.

Plus, I can't have her bleeding all over my grandma's cabin.

We're doing it on the lake for a reason.

I know, but...

The cops can't investigate a crime scene that isn't gonna exist tomorrow.

Yeah?

Mm-hm.

Where's it gonna go?

Bottom of the lake.

Once we... torch and sink it.

Exactly.

Hey.

I really need you right now.

Where are you goin'?

I'm goin' to get the girl. She's not safe here any more.

Then I'll find that bitch and put a bullet in her fucking head!

Get in.

Holy shit!

Where's my gun?

You are such a goddamn moron, it defies believability!

It's not my fault, babe. I just...

Ow! - Stop feeling sorry for yourself!

Move!

I'll bring her to the lake when you're set up.

Fuck!

What the heck is he doin'?

Hon? Hon?

Oh, yeah.

Oh!

Oh!

God!

Aaargh!

God...

Steady. Come on.

Jeez...

Just like sewing a quilt.

A really gross, bloody quilt.

Aagh...

Oh, boy. Come on, come on. Come on.

Aagh...

Oh!

Oh, oh.

Oh!

Of course.

Oh!

Oh!

Uff da. Oh!

God... dang it!

Hello!

Hello?

Anyone out there?

It's an emergency.

Anyone?

Please! Hello!

Hello. Hello...

Frickin'... fiddlesticks! Shit buns!

Whoa there!

I'm sure it can't be as bad as all that.

Oh, hello. Can you hear me? - Loud and clear. What's the trouble?

Oh! There's been a kidnapping.

These two loonies, they took this girl.

I... I need help. I'm wounded and I...

Slow down. Slow down there. What's your location?

Uh, a cabin near Lake Hilda.

Lake what now? - Hilda!

It's off of Route 11. It's just... It's south a few miles...

Uh, just outside Beltrami County.

OK, yeah, I... I think we might not be too far...

OK, can you just get...

Oh, fuck!

Aagh! Fuck!

Oh, fucking hell!

Oh, fuck!

Aagh!

Oh, fuck. Don't, don't...

Don't kill me. Please don't kill me. - Why are you doing this?

It's my... my wife.

She made me do it.

I didn't want any...

She... she's sick.

And th-that girl...

She tried to kill herself

more than once.

She don't wanna live.

Maybe... Maybe she don't deserve to.

Well, that's not really up to you now, is it?

I ain't a bad... person.

I ain't... Please don't...

All right, all right, cut it out. -

Oh!

Where'd she take the girl?

Out looking for... for you.

I was gonna... l-leave

and... go to the hospital.

I'm... I'm hypothermic.

I'm done help... helping her.

I just... I just need

to get to... a doctor.

Stop that. Stop that. Don't move. Don't move!

Is this...

yours?

Oh!

Oh! - I found it... in the cabin.

Oh, oh...

OK...

What's the nearest town?

W-Wannaska.

Ab-about two hours.

You say you ain't a bad person?

No.

Then you're gonna prove it to me.

You're gonna drive like hell till we hit Wannaska.

And go straight to the police station.

You tell 'em to send the whole dang force.

Then, and only then, do you find your way to the doctor.

You got that? - I will.

Don't make me regret this. - I won't.

Yeah, OK. - I swear.

All right, well, get goin'.

Thank you.

OK...

Here.

OK...

Thank you.

No, no, no, no.

No, no! - What the fuck are you doing?

Fuck! - Why aren't you on the lake setting up?

It's all set up, but... - But what?

I... Look at me.

I need help.

Then you come to me.

I'm your wife. You come to me!

Like I went to you. That's what we do.

You made a fucking vow and you're gonna run out on me?

Now when I need you most?

No... - When you know what happens if this...

You know exactly what happens. We have to make this work.

It ain't gonna work.

This whole thing, it's...

fucking batshit.

What other choice do I have?

I'm not giving up. Not when there's a chance.

We just need to make it to Littlefork. - OK.

OK. - Yeah.

Say we make it...

Are you even sure you can trust this surgeon?

Are you even sure he's gonna be there?

Let's just leave this shit.

It ain't too late.

We can walk away.

We walk away and then what?

Just wait for me to die and you're rid of me?

Is that what you want? - No, it... it ain't like that, babe...

The fuck it ain't!

Karl!

Karl!

Hon? Hon?

We need to go to the hospital. - Whoa, whoa.

In, in, in.

OK.

We'll keep trying.

We won't quit.

Come on.

Come on, you stinker!

Oh, jeez, ya stupid, frickin'...

Oh... Oh!

Hey!

Oh! Hey, hey!

Ah, ah...

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, hey...

Oh, oh...

Hey, I'm the CB lady. I called you on the CB...

Keep your hands up where we can see 'em! Both of 'em, up!

Sorry, sorry. It's just it's kinda... It's kinda difficult.

Stop!

It's kinda... It's kinda difficult at the moment.

OK, you can put 'em down.

Oh, am I glad to see you boys! - What the hell happened over there?

Had to blow my truck up, so you could find me.

It's a damn needle in a haystack out here.

That was you on the CB?

Yeah, one of them kidnappers attacked me and busted it up.

Where is this fella now?

I had to let him go 'cause he got pretty sick after falling in the lake.

He needed a doctor, but he's not the... It's his wife we gotta worry about.

She's got the girl. And she was in the cellar.

Then she was in the truck and now...

Now I... I'm not sure where she is.

We should probably really get headin' back over to the cabin right now.

Are you armed? - Huh?

Are you armed?

Oh, uh, here...

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!

Sorry.

Sorry. It's only got the five shots, though. She's got a rifle.

She don't hesitate to use it neither. She got me in the arm here.

Yeah.

I'm thinking we should probably hang on to that for you, just to be safe.

Oh, jeez... I'd really prefer to keep her on me if you don't mind.

Listen, lady, we'll take a look at whatever the trouble is,

but, you know, we don't know you from Adam, so...

We'll keep her safe and sound in the glove box.

Don't worry. You... We, uh... We can handle this for you.

Oh... - It's that or we can leave you here.

What's it gonna be?

Get it. - OK.

Just the one lady?

Yeah, her husband's long gone by now.

What's she doing in there? - Heck if I know.

Maybe we should just head to town, get the cops.

No, it'll take hours.

Let's just go talk to her, figure out what the hell's going on round here.

I'm not sure that's such a smart idea. She's dangerous as all heck. Maybe...

We'll have a friendly little conversation, see what she has to say for herself.

We got this. - We need to be careful about this.

Consider all the angles.

You stay here.

Oh, wow, heck.

All right.

Oh, boy.

Howdy there!

We just want to ask you a few questions.

You all right in there?

What the fuck?

Oh!

Oh, please don't...

Oh, shit! Oh, oh!

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Oh, God!

Shit!

Oh!

Uh, uh...

Aagh!

You awake in there?

Who's that?

Oh, jeez, Karl, you know who it is.

It's your wife.

You old coot.

Huh? Let's get you out of there.

Up you get.

There you go. That's it.

OK. Sorry, it's cold.

Uh-huh.

Other foot.

Let's get this water nice and hot.

You want 'em fried or poached?

Fried it is.

You know, I was just thinking back to that Mille Lacs trip in '98.

Wish we'd got a picture of that pike.

What a beaut, huh?

Still...

we'll always know you caught her.

That's the most important thing.

Karl?

Karl?

Oh! - Hey, hey!

Are you OK?

Oh, well...

...I'll be darned.

She didn't kill me.

Oh!

Is that your blood?

It's his.

Oh... Yeah.

What's gonna happen to us?

I really don't know.

Have you ever seen these people before?

The woman, maybe.

I... I think I saw her at the hospital back when...

But I tried...

Oh, hon. Honey, hon...

Honey! Oh...

I don't wanna die!

That... that's good. That's a good thing.

Hey, what's your name?

Leah.

Leah? Oh, my husband loved that name.

It was right at the top of our list. No foolin'.

For a boy, we were thinking Eric, and for a girl, it was gonna be Leah.

Between you and me, I was sorta hopin' for a girl.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Oh, hon.

Say, did you ever hear about the Great Blizzard of 1888?

Well, it froze half the darn country.

It was one of the worst in recorded history

and my great-grandfather Iver,

he found himself stuck smack in the middle of the thing.

There was nothing but him, his ox

and a big sack of grain he was carrying.

Think he was coming back from the mill or something, out in Lac qui Parle County.

Montevideo, actually.

Anyway, he's on his way home in the middle of this huge snowstorm.

Oh, oh, and by the way, hundreds of people died in this storm.

OK, this was not just a couple of dainty snowflakes floating around,

if that's what you're thinking.

So, the snow keeps falling and falling.

Iver, he can't see a damn thing.

And he's tired, he's hungry, but he can't stop, see?

'Cause if he stops moving, he's gonna freeze to death.

So, what does he do?

He keeps goin'.

Simple as that. He walks.

With that ox and that grain through the damn blizzard,

mile after mile after mile, just him and that ox,

puttin' one foot in front of the other till, before you know it,

the sun is peeking out through the clouds

and the storm's over.

That's it?

That's it... What, that's...

Think about what Iver did there!

What... If he'd given up, I wouldn't... I wouldn't be here.

I wouldn't even have been born.

I never would've... I never would've met my husband Karl.

We never would've had the joy of...

spending our...

...lives together.

Heck, all's I'm sayin' is...

...we don't know what's comin'.

We never really do, but it don't matter.

We don't quit.

I... I think she left.

OK.

Oh, where...

Oh, it's up there.

What? - It's up there.

I saw her search you. - Oh, oh.

OK.

Oh! Shit.

Sorry. Oh, shoot!

Give me your shoes. - What?

Come on, quick. She could be back any second.

What's so important about that box?

That's it, good. OK.

Ah!

Yeah, okey-dokey.

Oh, oh, ugh!

I think I'm gonna...

Oh, boy.

Getting there.

Come on.

Here. Souvenir.

Agh! Oh!

Jesus! - Oh...

Oh, OK.

There you go.

Get these back on.

Here you go.

When was the last time someone helped you on with your boots?

Oh...

OK.

Oh! Oh, God.

I...

It's no good. Uh...

Storm doors! - Huh?

Try the storm doors. - Oh, yeah, good idea.

They're rusty. I can... I can jimmy 'em.

Ah!

That's gonna do it.

OK, OK, let's get rid of this.

OK. Right.

Jesus Christ!

That's good.

OK, next one.

You really are one clever bitch, ain't ya?

So, Karl had an unusual request, um...

He wanted his ashes to be, uh, conveyed

via this particular container, uh...

up to a particular lake

up north and, uh...

scattered there.

Which lake?

Um...

Lake Hilda. - Oh.

He's got a map here for you too.

I guess it's not too easy to find.

Pretty far out there, huh?

Do you mind if I ask, uh...

What's so special about Lake Hilda?

Unload it.

We need to redress that. You're losing too much blood.

I don't need your fucking advice, lady.

I know what I'm doing.

You'll lose the whole leg if it gets infected.

The least of my worries. - Because you're dying.

That's why you take those, right?

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Really, I am.

But whatever this is, it ain't gonna change anything.

You're wrong. I just need to get to Littlefork.

Open that box and put it over there.

Put her on the table. - Please, you don't have to do this.

Put her on the table. - She's just a child.

I'll take her place. - You're too old.

She's living on borrowed time anyway. - That doesn't make it right.

I'll get you help. I'll find money.

I'll do anything, but don't do this. She's just a child.

She's got her whole life ahead of her. - Put her on the fucking table!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

On her back.

Tape her shoulders, her hips... and her shins.

That's enough.

Back up.

No!

No, no!

What the fuck?

Please!

No! No!

Please!

Skol, Karl.

Skol.

Skol, Karl.
