Hi. My name is

Bob and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Bob.

Hi. My name is Joe and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Joe.

Hi. My name's Mark and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Mark.

Hi. My name's Theresa

and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Theresa.

My name's Mitch and I'm an alcoholic.

- Hi, Mitch.

- Nice to have ya, Mitch.

Hi. My name is Peter

and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Peter.

My name's Hartwell

and I'm an alcoholic with a

fondness for tranquilizers.

- Hi, Hartwell.

- Welcome.

Uh, hi. My name's Jack and

I'm an alcoholic from Vermont.

This is my first meeting in Sidewinder.

- Hey, Jack.

- Glad you're here, Jack.

He's a nice kid, and a smart kid.

He's also, as far as I

can tell, a well kid.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'd have other

people look at these,

but as far as my own first impressions go,

Mrs. Torrance, we should all be so lucky.

You have no idea how glad I am

to hear you say that.

Well, considering

you're apt to be snowed in

up there at the Overlook

all winter, I think I do.

Let's wait for the blood work

before we throw any confetti,

but as to your chief concern,

there are no signs of epilepsy here.

I suspect you knew there wouldn't be

since he had the flash

test back in Vermont,

plus the Deever series,

and both were negative.

I wasn't sure.

He's been working really

hard on his reading, hasn't he?

Overachieving, perhaps?

Yes.

Basically, you have the drive

of a graduate student in

the body of a 7-year-old.

And his so-called invisible friend...

His name is Tony.

It's also the name of his

stuffed dog.

I suspect the invisible

Tony really was a friend

until you folks moved out

here from Vermont, wasn't he?

Yes, he was.

Miss Torrance, I'm gonna make a guess

that may be a little presumptuous of me,

but, I suspect there's been

a fair degree of stress

in your marriage lately?

It's in the way he talks about his dad

and the way his eyes

follow you around the room.

Tony has been helping him with stress,

maybe even with loneliness too.

You know, Doctor, Danny also believes

that Tony can show him the future.

And sometimes, well...

How did Danny break his arm?

Um, he didn't.

I'm sorry.

His, his father did.

Jack didn't mean to hurt him, but...

He was drunk.

And now?

Well, Jack isn't here with me today

because he's at an AA meeting.

He's trying to hit as many as he can

before the snow falls and

he has to use the phone

and, and the CB radio.

How long has your husband been sober?

About five months.

Has he ever hit you, Mrs. Torrance?

Oh, God, no, never.

What about now with Danny?

Things...

Things are fine now with both of them.

And you? Are things fine for you?

Well, things are, uh, okay.

They could be better,

but they're going in the right direction.

My husband is a wonderful man, Doctor.

I love him very much.

So your family's mending?

I think it is, Doctor.

We're trying to move on.

Boy, Danny's a perceptive kid.

He knew when things were wrong

between you and your husband

when he needed, uh, Tony

to help him get through.

He knows now things are better

and Tony can take a hike.

You think he's trying

to make Tony unpleasant

so that he can get rid of him?

Well, it's one strategy

that imaginative children use, yes.

I don't mean to rush you

along, Mrs. Torrance,

but my next appointment

starts 10 minutes ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Uh, the stings?

They've all but healed already.

There's no problem there.

Thank you.

Swing!

Whoa!

Again, Mommy!

Whoa!

Okay.

Aw, man.

Oh, come on.

Huh, smart rats.

Oh, yeah.

Huh.

Whose memory book? Hmm.

"Horace Derwent requests your

company at a masked ball."

Oh, my God, look at that.

Who-who's there?

Who's there?

Anybody there?

Oh, God, please! Please, no!

Ow!

Is anybody there?

Give me the ax.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

You the guy that knocked

the chairs off the tables?

Room service.

Oh, God, no, please!

No! No!

Is anyone here?

- Danny.

- Danny.

- Come join us.

- Come on.

- Danny.

- Join us.

Danny.

Shut up! Do you hear me?

Just shut up!

Danny?

Danny, it's snowing!

Danny?

Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.

Did you look out the window?

Did you see what's going on out there?

Take a look.

It's snowing!

Do you wanna make a snowman??

Sure!

Cool. Daddy too?

Okay. Let's go get Daddy.

It's the abominable sleigh ride!

I'm gonna get ya!

Danny.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Danny.

Danny, let's play.

Come and play, Danny.

Doc! What are you doing here, Doc?

Showing it I'm not afraid.

But you are afraid.

You should be afraid.

Hallorann said that if--

He said nothing here can hurt me,

they're like pictures in a book.

Dog, if you give them the

chance to become more than that,

they can--

- I can go in if I want to.

Go away and leave me alone.

Come inside, Danny.

Come in.

Over there, in the corner.

Yes, Danny. Go in, Danny.

Look. See.

Danny!

You get out of here. Do you understand me?

You can't let them touch your mind, ever!

Do you understand?

Tony!

Nothing here can hurt me,

just like pictures in a book

if I don't let them touch my mind.

Tony, where are you? Help me!

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine...

Just a hose, stupid.

Danny.

What are you doing?

Nothing, Daddy.

Nothing, Daddy?

This is Mr. Ullman's office.

What are you doing in Mr. Ullman's office?

Have you been playing with the radio?

No, Daddy.

Honest?

Honest.

Well, I hope not, Doc,

because if the phone lines go down,

this is the only way we

have of calling for help.

The only way.

Roads west of Boulder

continue to be treacherous,

slushy with patches of black ice.

The chain law is in effect--

What have you got behind your back?

Nothing, Daddy.

Nuttin', honey.

Show me.

Not supposed to be in here.

Not supposed to have this.

Not supposed to go into

any of the guest rooms!

Ah, well, I gotta hand it

to you, Doc.

When you get around to breaking the rules,

you don't waste any time.

But, Daddy, I didn't go in the room.

I was going to, but I-I-I changed my mind.

- Daddy, I--

- Shh! Please.

Just be quiet a minute, I have to think.

Got a headache, Daddy?

Yeah. It's the worst one

I've had since I was...

Worst one in a while.

But that's not what's important.

The question is,

what should we do

about a little boy who

cannot keep to the rules?

How are we gonna make you remember?

Are you gonna hurt me, Daddy?

Like before?

No.

No, Danny. No.

No. I would never hurt you.

I'll, I'll never hurt you again.

But, you can't break the rules, big guy.

But, Daddy, I didn't go in the--

Shh! No, no, don't...

Don't make it worse by lying.

We have to be men here.

And men follow the rules.

No fooling with the CB.

No going where you were told not to go:

The basement, the guest

rooms, this office.

You got it?

Daddy, I didn't go in the--

Men follow the rules.

Okay?

Okay, Dad.

Okay.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Daddy will be in to say good night

and give you a kiss

before you go to sleep.

He's probably working on his play.

No, he isn't.

He's down in the cellar,

looking at the old papers again.

It's spooky down there.

Have you been down to the cellar, Danny?

Because I don't want you going down there.

There are rats and God knows what else.

I haven't been down there.

I'm not supposed to.

It's a rule, and men follow the rules.

But I just know.

Sometimes you can see

what he sees, can't you?

He just looks at the papers now.

He likes them.

He's not writing the play anymore.

What do you mean, he's

not writing the play, Danny?

Of course he is!

That's why we're here.

You know how important

that play is to him.

Not anymore.

He wants to write a

book about the Overlook.

He knows Uncle Al won't like

it, but he doesn't care.

Danny, do you think it would be better

if we left the Overlook now,

before the snow gets any deeper?

Tell me the truth. What do you think?

What do you see?

We have to stay. This is Daddy's job.

He has to take care of the Overlook,

and he has to take care of us.

But is your daddy all right?

He's trying to be.

He loves us. I love him.

Do you?

Sometimes he thinks you don't.

But you do, don't you?

Of course I do, Danny.

But this isn't about loving.

I want to ask you something.

Is your daddy drinking again?

Do you know?

No. But he thinks about it sometimes.

He thinks, "Gosh, I could

sure use a cold one."

But no, he's not.

Well, that's good.

Don't forget to kiss Tony.

We haven't heard much

about the other Tony these days, have we?

He doesn't come around much, huh?

No. He must've stayed in Boulder.

Besides, he's not a real friend.

He's a make-believe friend.

Well, that's what Dr. Edmonds

said, but I'm not so sure.

Danny...

What's the matter?

Do you see Mr. Spooky in the corner?

# Made you look, dirty crook #

# Stole your mother's pocketbook #

Ha, ha, ha. Now, lie down.

Time to go to sleep, funny guy.

Mommy?

Yeah.

What's "Redrum?"

Red drum?

Not drum, rum. Redrum.

I don't know.

Sounds like something a

pirate might drink. Why?

It was just something I saw on TV.

Oh. Well, if we have that settled...

We do.

I'll send Dad in if I see

him before you zonk out, okay?

Okay.

Good night.

- Redrum! Redrum!

- Now, take your medicine!

Redrum, redrum,

redrum, redrum, redrum.

- Look.

- Look, Danny.

Aw, Danny, Danny.

How many times do I have to...

Unbelievable.

I-I-I...

Oh yeah, oh yeah,

we're gonna have to have

a little talk, aren't we?

Front, please.

You know, your son's been

playing down here again.

I've got a pocketful of his

action figures to prove it.

Oh, oh, and...

See this glass?

Yeah.

Well, this was balanced

half full on the arm of a sofa

that would go for more than I ever made

in all my years of teaching.

Well, Jack honey,

I don't know exactly how

to break this to you,

but Danny's 7 years old.

Sometimes 7-year-olds forget the rules.

Well, then one of us

had better remind him,

don't you think?

I will.

Okay?

- Good.

It's starting to thaw.

Radio said it might be the

last thaw in quite a while.

Sounds like the whole world's melting.

Mm. It is beautiful, isn't it?

It's like...

It's like we were in a

cave behind a waterfall.

Coming to bed?

Little while.

I've got something for you

you're not gonna find

in any of those boxes,

if you want it.

Um, later maybe. Okay?

"Later maybe?"

What is this "later?"

Wendy, I'm just trying to do

the job they hired me for, that's all.

The last several weeks,

these old boxes are all you

seem to be interested in,

other than making sure

we don't wrinkle a drape

or leave a smudge somewhere in the hotel.

I mean,

maybe I could use some caretaking too?

What are you talking about?

Aren't you attracted to me anymore?

'Cause you always used to be. Except...

Except when I was drinking.

Well, now that you mention it, yeah.

But I'm not drinking.

I know.

Not everything that comes

out of my mouth about that

is an accusation.

So, what is this all about?

What do you think it's about, Jack?

Danny's been asleep

for almost an hour now,

and I wanna go to bed with you.

Sleep is the last thing I'm interested in.

And if I have to be any

more blunt than that,

we're in a lot of trouble.

I'll be up in a few minutes, okay?

I promise.

Okay, fine.

You know, Jack, you're

not drinking anymore,

but all of your old

drinking habits are back.

And if that's what this

place is doing to you,

then I think coming here

was a really bad idea.

This place isn't doing

anything to me, Wendy.

I'm just interested in the papers I found

down in the cellar, that's all.

I've been sorta collating them.

Danny says you've given

up writing your play, Jack.

Is that true?

'Cause you always told me

that next to Danny and me,

your play was the most

important thing in your life.

Has Danny been up in my office?

Hmm? Has he been fooling

around with my papers?

Damned nosy little pup!

Listen to yourself.

That's not even you

talking, that's your father.

How do you know what

my father sounded like?

He died six years before I met you.

I know because I listen to you, Jack.

Look at you.

You're not shaving anymore,

you're rubbing your mouth like

you used to back in Vermont,

chewing on aspirin like

when you had hangovers.

I get headaches!

I get bad headaches, very bad.

It's the stress.

Is stress the reason

you don't wanna make love to me anymore?

The thaw is supposed to hold

tonight and all day tomorrow.

We can make it down to Route

50 if we take the snowmobile.

And from there, it's only

23 miles to Sidewinder.

And I think we ought to do it, Jack,

because this place is not

doing any of us any good.

Sometimes Danny comes downstairs just...

Just looking white as a sheet.

He has no business being

up on the guest room floor.

I'm not talking about the guest rooms!

He doesn't go in them.

He said you talked to him about that.

I'm saying that sometimes

he comes in from outside

looking the same way.

He...

He looks pale, he looks...

He just looks haunted, somehow.

I think he's seeing things here, Jack.

And he keeps quiet because he's scared

that if you lose this job--

You know who else is scared

about what'll happen to

us if I lose this job?

I am.

I have visions of us

ending up in California,

maybe picking grapes and lettuces

alongside all the

illegals from Mexico, eh?

Danny won't have to go to high school

to learn a second language.

How nice for him!

That is so ridiculous!

Oh, spoken like the true golden girl

who always had $20 in her jeans,

courtesy of her loving, possessive mother.

You wanna go home?

You wanna go home right now and

tell her what happened here?

That basically speaking, your

husband lost his last chance

because his son sees things sometimes?

That is so unfair and you know it!

The situation is unfair!

But if you help me, the way

Danny's been helping me,

then we can get through this.

I hate this place now.

What has happened to us, Jack?

We didn't have much back in Boulder, but,

we were pretty happy.

Do you remember?

We have to leave this place.

I don't know how I know that, but I do.

Wendy...

Listen to me.

Listen.

I know how much I bitched

things up for myself. I do.

The booze, and my temper,

and George Hatfield, and...

Breaking Danny's arm.

When I heard him screaming

and I saw the way he was

holding his arm, I...

All I meant to do...

I swear, all I meant to do

was just hold him by the wrist

and-and turn him around and just give him

a little swat on the butt, that's all.

We can come out of this

in one of two ways, Wendy:

With a recommendation that'll

land me a new teaching job,

plus the first draft of

a maybe publishable book.

Or, we could be walking

around shopping centers

wearing a sign that says

"will work for food."

Now, I know that's an

exaggeration, but not much.

And there are compensations.

The story that is in these boxes,

the one between the lines, it's, it's...

You can't believe it, Wendy.

The registration books alone.

The-the names:

Jean Harlow, Joey Gallo,

Lana Turner and Johnny Stompanato.

Robert Vesco!

You know something? Sometimes, I...

I feel like they're all still here

and they never really

checked out, and I can...

I can almost see them.

I know. That's what scares me.

I feel like I was meant to be here,

that somehow my whole life

has led up to this, you know?

Wendy...

Wendy...

It's just for the winter.

You and Danny, please,

please try to bear with me

and I-I swear to you, you won't be sorry.

All right, Jack.

Kissing, kissing...

Yeah, that's what I've been missing.

Do you still wanna go up to bed?

What do you think?

I love you, Jack.

I love you too.

Fee, fi, fo, fum!

Yeah.

Uh, the giant has come to

eat you up in your beds!

Kiss your AAA rating goodbye, you sorry...

Work, work, work.

A little recreation here.

# Well if you're feelin' lonely #

# And need a new place to dwell #

# Heartbreak hotel #

Damn thaw.

You gave me

quite a little start.

Oh, I'm not, I'm not seeing this.

I'm not seeing this.

Whoa.

It's just, I need a...

I need a meeting, that's

all. Need a meeting.

A little AA for Jackie.

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot

change, and, and, and...

And what?

- Hello, Jack.

- Hi, Jack.

- Whoa!

- Come on in.

They don't move while

you're watching them.

Maybe they can't.

Oh, no, get back!

Oh, I'm tired.

I'm tired.

Tired. Very tired.

Nothing happened.

Well, according to Ron Allen's forecast,

the fat man is not going to have a problem

finding landing zones when he arrives

in the Colorado high

country later this week.

Ron says it's going to

cloud up after midnight

and we should expect another

4 inches of the white stuff

before daybreak tomorrow.

And what a day it's going to be,

12 to 14 inches of fresh

snow and high winds

will combine to create blizzard conditions

from Greeley all the way to Sidewinder.

Brethren...

Join the Sober Sams of

Alcoholics Anonymous

and be saved!

You will be washed clean!

Say hallelujah!

All you gotta do...

All you gotta do

is stay away from that drink.

Just one day at a time.

Drink your coffee and smoke

your little cigarette.

But believe!

And don't--

- Jackie.

Shut up that drivel.

Daddy?

Pardon me for asking a stupid question,

but, you know, aren't you dead?

Death doesn't

mean much in the Overlook,

don't you know that?

You're as stupid as ever, aren't you?

Aren't you? Answer me!

Yes.

I guess so.

Most of the time these days,

I have felt pretty stupid.

You're foolish

and you're weak, Jackie.

You're still just a pup.

But I always had a soft

spot for you and I still do,

so listen to me and listen closely,

because a certain person,

a certain small person,

is where he doesn't belong, again.

They've betrayed

you, Jackie, both of them,

and they have to be punished.

What are you talking about, Daddy?

They're doing

what they've always done,

holding you back, dragging you down.

Where is he now, Jackie, little

whelp of yours? Trespassing!

He's a pup, a trespassing little pup!

Cane him for it, Jackie.

Make him take his medicine.

You have to.

No!

No!

Yes, Jackie. Yes.

You're dead!

And I don't have to listen!

So, shut up!

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up, Daddy!

Shut up and be dead!

Shut up and stay dead!

What's happening to me?

Come join us, Danny.

No.

Yes, Danny. Yes.

Look, Danny.

Come on in.

Nothing here can hurt me,

just like pictures in a book.

# Old MacDonald had a farm #

# Ee i ee i o #

# And on his farm he had a cow #

# Ee i ee i o #

# With a moo moo here #

# Here a moo, there a moo #

# Everywhere a moo moo #

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, 10.

There's nothing there.

Nothing there.

There's nothing there.

There's nothing there.

Nothing there.

There's nothing here.

# With a little boy here #

# And a little boy there #

# Here a boy, there a boy #

# Everywhere a boy boy #

Hello, Danny. I've been waiting for you.

We've all been waiting for you.

# Here a boy, there a boy #

# Everywhere a boy boy #

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, 10!

Not there! Not there!

Not there, not there, not there!

Just like pictures in a book. That was--

Whoa!

Figures.

Danny.

Danny?

You better not be where I think you are.

Danny!

Danny, you come down here!

Don't make it worse for yourself.

Dan! You get down here, you damn pup!

Danny, you get down here, and

you want to double-time, Son!

I am losing my patience!

Come down here and take your medicine!

This is your last chance, Son.

All right, then.

That's the way you want it.

Jack, what are you doing?

Your son broke the CB.

Smashed it with a croquet

mallet, this croquet mallet.

And one of the passkeys is gone.

He's on the second floor right now.

God knows what I will find up there!

- What he's gotten into--

- Jack.

What he's broken!

For God's sake, Wendy,

I'm the caretaker here, I'm responsible!

- Jack, give that to me.

- Get outta here!

What do you think you're...

Okay, let's just talk quietly

now, as adults, all right?

Are you sure the CB's actually broken?

Does the pope wear a tall hat?

Danny, get your butt down here!

What makes you think Danny did it?

What are you telling me?

Are you saying that you did it?

No, that is not what I'm saying.

Well, it wasn't me.

I was down in the basement all afternoon.

And it sure wasn't the rats.

Danny!

Remember your temper.

No matter what Danny's done...

You let me worry about that.

No, I'm not gonna...

Danny, I am warning you. Get...

Danny! Danny?

Oh! You bastard!

- Why...

- You bastard!

Hey, I-I never, I...

Danny, Danny, talk to me, baby.

Tell me what happened.

Tell Mommy what happened.

Danny, what happened? Who did this?

Don't touch him!

If you so much as lay

a finger on him again,

I will wait till you're

asleep and I will kill you.

Wendy, I swear to God--

I'm tired of listening

to you swear to God.

I'm tired of all your

promises to change your spots.

You saw that your

precious radio was broken

and you went and found Danny.

Breaking his arm wasn't

enough this time, was it>?

This time breaking his arm wasn't enough!

I didn't see him all afternoon!

Danny boy, I'm getting

crucified here, Son.

Come on, tell her what happened!

Just get away!

Tell us both.

Tell us both what happened.

# Jingle bells, jingle bells #

# Jingle all the way #

# Oh what fun it is #

Come on, Danny.

Do you want to sing with me? Help me sing.

# Oh what fun it is to ride #

# In a one-horse open sleigh #

Don't bother, it's out.

It was working this

morning, but now it's out.

First thing I tried.

Storm's coming.

I don't know what's going on here, Wendy,

but I did not touch him.

Well as someone recently said.

It wasn't me, Jack, and it

sure as hell wasn't the rats.

This is wet. Doc, why is your shirt wet?

What is that?

What?

I think it's lipstick.

It's not my shade.

Don't go yet, Danny.

We'll have tea.

Daddy! Oh, Daddy, oh, Daddy!

It was her! It was her!

It was her!

Danny, what-what do you mean?

Wendy?

Jack, you can't think that I--

Wendy?

Jack, I was in here sketching.

I fell asleep, I woke

up from your shouting.

I would never--

I know you would never.

It's not nice to be accused, is it?

Okay, let's get you something.

Okay.

Here you go.

Drink that up. Don't burn your mouth.

Hot chocolate. I love this stuff.

Yeah, I know you do.

So, um...

Where'd the...

Where'd the lipstick come from, Doc, hmm?

How about the-the bruises?

How'd you get the bruises on your neck?

Did you get them from the second floor?

I didn't want to take

the key again, Daddy.

I wanted to keep my promise,

but it was like something was making me.

All right, all right,

don't worry. I know.

We'll worry about the passkey later, okay?

But right now, I want you to tell Mommy

and I want you to tell me

what happened up there, okay?

The lady got lipstick on me

when she kissed me.

Danny?

Danny, what are you

talking about? What lady?

The 217 lady.

Then she was choking me,

and I couldn't breathe.

We have to get out of here.

What are you talking about, Doc?

This place is bad.

Everything bad that

happened here is still here.

It wants us, all of us.

But most of all, I think

it wants me the most.

What would it want you for, Danny?

Because of the shining.

That's what Dick calls it.

The hotel shines too.

And it's getting stronger.

It's getting realer.

Dick said the things here,

the things I might see, couldn't hurt me,

that were like pictures in a book

and I could make them gone if I wanted to.

I could at first, but...

But what, Danny?

But they're coming out.

They're coming out of the book.

All right, uh, um...

I'm sorry, I'm not following

what you're saying.

Are you saying that...

you were strangled...

by, a, a ghost?

There are ghosts here,

you know there are,

and other things too.

It wants to get to you, too, Daddy,

and make you do the bad thing again.

All right. Now, listen to me.

Listen to me.

Look at me.

I have not had a drink since...

For a very long time.

And even if I wanted one,

I-I couldn't, I couldn't get one

because there's no booze here.

There's not even cooking sherry.

I know, but--

But, no. But what?

But if we don't go soon,

we might not be able to go at all.

Dick said the Overlook

couldn't hurt us,

but he was wrong.

The first bad thing I really saw

was when Mr. Hallorann took us

into the presidential suite.

It had gushy stuff on the

walls, blood and stuff.

Here. Drink up.

Do you know what he's talking about?

Uh, yeah, I might.

Uh, according to the papers

that are stored in the cellar,

a big-time gangster was

killed here like 30 years ago,

along with a couple of his bodyguards.

People were killed here

and you never told me?

Well, it was a long time ago, Wendy,

and I didn't think it would matter.

Dick has seen stuff too.

Once it was something bad in room 217,

the lady that's in there, I guess.

And once he saw something

down by those hedges

but he didn't tell me what.

Did you see anything down there, Jack?

No.

Nothing.

Jack, where are you going?

Up to room 217.

Where do you think I'm

going, out for a pizza?

Jack, don't. What if

there's somebody up there?

I don't mean a ghost,

I mean somebody real.

Well then, it's better to

cover all our bases, okay?

It's safer.

Because if there's somebody

else in this hotel,

somebody real, we have to know.

Please don't leave us alone, Jack!

Let me do my job, Wendy!

What, as caretaker of this hotel?

Is that what you're willing

to risk all of our lives for?

My job as caretaker,

my job as your husband,

my job as his father.

- Jack--

- Take your hand off me.

Hey, sport, I'll be back.

Be careful, Daddy. Look out for her.

I'll be okay.

You didn't have any business

up here in the first place.

Snooping around.

Oh, no, I don't see that.

No! No!

No, no. Absolutely not.

I talked to him. I talked to him.

I had a talk with him and he still...

Trespassing is what it is.

Trespassing.

That's what

it comes down to, yep.

"So then the big happy taxi

turned on his lights and blew his horn,

and even made his wipers

go back and forth."

Nothing. Nothing at all.

And I think, Son, it's time, once again,

for one of our little chats

about where you're supposed

to go in this hotel

and where you're not supposed to go.

I couldn't help it! I really couldn't!

- Leave him alone, Jack.

- No. It's funny.

It's funny because my father never bought

that "couldn't help it" stuff.

Of course, that's one of

the few things in his life

that he was right about.

But he thought it was crap and so do I.

That's crap!

He just had a terrible scare.

You better listen to me, Son.

I'm not gonna spank you,

I'm not gonna lay a finger on you,

I'm not even gonna shout,

but I want you to know that

if I ever find this passkey

or any passkey in your hand again,

you are going to be in big, big trouble.

You understand me?

Listen to yourself, Jack.

You are threatening a

7-year-old boy. Just stop it!

I don't wanna go in the rooms, Daddy,

I don't wanna go in any of the rooms.

I wanna leave before

something bad happens.

I want your promise.

I want your solemn promise

that you are never going to go

into Mr. Ullman's office again!

Danny, did you break the CB?

Is it broken?

You mean, it wasn't broken

when you were in there?

- I, I--

- I, I, I, what?

What? It was or it wasn't?

I want to leave too, Jack.

Please, Daddy.

Oh, you guys...

You guys talk like it's a snap,

there's 30 inches of show on the ground!

30 inches!

And a snowmobile in the equipment shed,

big enough to seat four.

There's only three of

us, and Danny's small!

Just cut and run. Cut and run!

Let's leave the hotel

open to the elements.

Let's leave the hotel open to vandals.

I've gotta dump the boiler!

Look at your son!

Can't you see the bruises on his neck?

Are you blind?

Stop it! Stop shouting!

We'll talk about it later!

We'll talk about it later!

No, we'll talk now!

What are you waiting for,

something worse to happen?

You thought I did it, didn't you?

It was the first thing that came into

your unforgiving, suspicious, little mind.

What I thought doesn't matter.

I want us to get in the snowmobile

and get down to Sidewinder right now!

Wendy, look out the window!

Are you blind? Zero visibility!

If we went slow...

But we would die just as quick

if I couldn't make the

turn, if I missed the turn!

- Jack, why do you have to--

- What? No, you're the one--

Stop it!

I hate you both! I hate you both!

You're stupid and I hate you!

We can't leave tonight, babe.

We would die out there.

I'm telling you the

plain, unpainted truth.

Okay, Jack. Okay.

"Mr. Torrance, If you desert your post

you won't be allowed back.

The Management."

Unmask!

Unmask!

Sorry, Torrance, no second chances.

Not for drunks that cut and run.

Oh, I suppose you'll find

some sort of job in

California come spring,

perhaps as a sales clerk in a

mall, perhaps at a car wash.

That's what your wife and

your whelp want, isn't it?

To see you working in that sort of a job.

To see you properly humbled.

To see you forget your dreams

and remember only them.

Seize your destiny, Mr. Torrance.

Unmask.

Unmask.

If you looked down into an

open grave and saw nothing...

Dig a hole in the bottom of the grave,

put the little coffin in.

Use some of the

dirt to cover the coffin

and throw the rest up on the mound.

Get your coat on.

I have to show you something.

Danny?

I'm reading, Mom!

Stay put, I'm going outside

with your father for a minute!

Okay, Mom!

What is it?

Just get your coat. I'll show you.

Oh, Jack, what happened?

It was fine the last time I saw it,

day before yesterday, that was.

Today, hmm.

Smashed, just like the radio.

Just like the radio.

Jack...

You didn't, did you?

I mean, I don't wanna

accuse you, but you didn't--

I never touched it, Wendy.

I never touched it!

As God is my witness!

Then there has to be someone here.

I don't think so.

Well, I do. Do you think Danny did this?

He's too little.

Whoever did this, Jack,

was stronger, much stronger than Danny.

He doesn't have the

physical strength, I agree.

But there's another side to

him, and we both know this.

Don't you remember when he was a baby

how sometimes if his formula was late

or if he had a belly ache,

things had a way of tipping

over, glasses would break.

Don't you remember how sometimes

the toilet would flush

itself over and over,

for like five minutes at a time?

Nothing like that has

happened in years, Jack.

The broken CB in Ullman's office

wasn't years ago, sweetheart,

that was last night.

He wants to get out

of here, you heard him.

Maybe.

But maybe there's a part

of him that wants to stay.

Or maybe something else does.

Danny thinks...

It sounds so insane,

but he thinks the hotel

is somehow channeling his special power...

No, listen to me.

Using him to cut off all

of our ways out of here.

Then it succeeded.

And unless one of the park

rangers sticks his head in

to see how we're doing, we're stuck.

When will that be, do you think?

I don't know.

Not before Christmas, I don't think.

Or probably not before New Year's.

I just don't believe this.

Snowshoes! Maybe we could

somehow get down that way?

Are you kidding? I can't

even walk on them myself.

Well, what other options do we have?

We could learn as we go, Jack.

Maybe.

We could listen to the weather

and we could pick a time

when they're calling for

three, four days without snow.

Yeah!

And if the forecast is wrong

and another storm comes in...

If that happens, I think

the three of us might die,

somewhere between here and Sidewinder.

Just like the Donners.

Only for a short time, Wendy.

And I promise you, the first

park ranger that comes up here,

you and Danny are gone.

Danny!

Danny!

I'll be up here washing windows, okay?

Just stay where I can see you.

Okay, Mom, I will!

# I like snow, I like snow #

# Such a beautiful thing, yep, yep #

# I like snow, I like snow #

# It's such a beautiful thing #

Jack? Is that you?

Jack?

Jack?

Jack?

Jack, are you in here?

Jack! Jack, help me!

It's after Danny!

Jack, it's gonna get Danny!
