The Shining

01 The Shining - Part 1 Stephen King Mini-Series 1997 English.

Don't. Please. I'm bleeding. I can feel it.

Really. How about this?

I'm sorry for sins committed against thee.

Hail Marv. Full of grace.

- Blessed art thou among women. - Give me the ax.

- You gotta watch her. She creeps. - What?

The boiler. She creeps.

Tell Ullman and he'll tell you we can't afford a new one.

Even if this is the best hotel around.

This place is gonna go Rocky Mountain-high one day.

I just hope that tom fool Ullman is here to ride the rocket.

- The pressure gauge and drop valve. - What's she rated for?

She's rated for 160. But you couldn't get me down here...

if the dial gets up to 140.

It's got a safety valve. But it's been rusted shut for 20 years.

So here's what you gotta do. Watch it. It's hot.

Yeah. Okay.

You dump it like that every night. Last thing...

you'll be all right. Mr. Torrance.

But remember, no safety valve. So don't forget.

It wouldn't do to forget that. Would it?

Come over here and I'll show you where Ullman wants those rattraps set.

He's always talking about rats.

He's crazy on the subject. Crazy on a lot of subjects. If you ask me.

- This is rat country. - Well. Yeah.

I keep telling Ullman to get rid of all this stuff.

Talk about putting out a welcome mat for the buggers.

He won't hire a couple of kids to do it. Because he's cheap.

You can't fight city hall. I just put the traps down the way he wants.

Life's too short to fight with the likes of him.

Besides. Every hotel's got rats. And every hotel has got scandals.

I'm sure the Overlook has had its share. Huh?

The reason they pay Ullman 60 grand is he's so good at hushing them up.

He's great. Gotta give him that much.

We had this lady here last summer. Wife of some big-shot lawyer...

not that she was with the lawyer.

She was with some college kid. Third night of their stay. He cuts out...

she draws herself a warm tub of water...

And?

Slit her wrists. Man. What a mess.

Ullman hushed it up. Though.

Then there was this last caretaker. Grady.

- Yeah. What about him? - Nothing.

What about him?

He killed himself too. No razorblades for him. Though.

Shotgun. Both barrels... Pulled the trigger with his toe.

- Out go the lights. - Yeah. Out go the lights.

Cabin fever. I guess. Of course. He was alone.

You'll have your wife and your boy.

Mr. Torrance. You wanna watch out for them. No offence.

It'd be bad to get in some jackpot situation after the roads are closed.

I'll take care of them, don't you worry.

Don't let Ullman get your goat.

- I need this job too badly. - I know what you're telling me.

- Any ghosts? - What?

You said that every hotel's got its rats. Got its scandals.

What about ghosts?

No ghosts. Not here. Come on. Let's go.

- I thought you got lost. - Nope.

Hey. Wait up!

- Interesting form of the game. - It's called Denver croquet.

Invented by a man named Horace Derwent.

As with Derwent himself, everything in the game is larger than life.

Twice ordinary croquet size. As a matter of fact.

Kids love it, and most adults come to love it too.

It's more challenging than it looks. Due to the size of the ball.

Does your wife understand what you'd be taking on here?

- And there's your son too. - Wendy is an extraordinary woman.

- And your son is also extraordinary? - We like to think so.

I don't suppose you care much for me. Few on my staff do. I imagine.

They regard me as a bit of a bastard. They're right.

One has to be to run a hotel such as this in the manner it deserves.

It is a great hotel.

Good shot!

And it was Horace Derwent who built this hotel?

In addition to inventing Denver croquet.

Not at all. The Overlook has been here almost since the turn of the century.

Mr. Derwent was the man who rescued it from extinction.

He turned it into a show place after World War ll.

It's run in the black since 1975. We'd like to keep it that way.

Mr. Ullman. If you have something you want to say...

why don't you come out and say it?

Last winter there was a grotesque tragedy at the Overlook.

- The caretaker... - Did some dental work with a shotgun.

Grady. His name was?

Watson's been talking. I see. Yes. Grady was his name.

I made a mistake. I admit it. The man was a drunk.

Well. I guess I should have known.

Mr. Ullman. The bottle and I have parted company.

Alcoholics never really part company with the bottle, correct?

They just hope that nothing will push them over the edge.

But in the winter. The Overlook is full of edges.

The board of directors has hired you over my strenuous objections.

You are a beneficiary of our politically correct times.

The board has put an alcoholic less than a year from his last drink...

in charge of a great resort hotel. May I be frank?

- Why stop now? - It makes me sick.

I cannot believe this. Those men gave...

Mr. Torrance. I'm told that when you drink. You become emotionally unstable.

Since I'm not drinking...

You were teaching at a prep school. That was your last job?

You beat up a student. Quite badly.

That was less than five months ago. Wasn't it? After you quit drinking?

George Hatfield.

I had to cut him from the debating team at Stovington.

He took it personally.

What do you think you're doing? What the hell are you doing?

That was the last of the storms.

Until then. I wasn't going to the meetings.

Really?

I was on what the old-timers like to call a “dry drunk. A bad one.

It took losing my job to bring me to AA. Since then...

Every thing's been rosy.

No. No. Not rosy. Bearable.

You won't find any AA meetings here. Not once the snow starts to fly.

There are three 800-number meetings each week.

I'll also be talking to my sponsor on the phone.

I'll have the Big Book with me and my family.

They're the most important thing. Wendy and Danny.

And there's my play. I'm trying to write a play.

This winter. I'll not only be taking care of the Overlook...

I'll be taking care of myself and my family.

And I won't be doing any of it for you.

I actually find that rather comforting.

I thought that you would.

- Mom? - Yeah?

Can I go outside?

- Will you stay where I can see you? - Sure.

You gonna go wait for Dad?

- What's your drawing? - Fruit.

- What you making? - Chicken pie for dinner.

- Could you leave out the peas? - Okay.

- Danny? - Yeah?

Did your dad get the job?

The man he talked to didn't like him. But he got it.

Are you sure?

- Do you need me to fix this? - No. It's okay.

Daddy will fix it when he gets home.

Well. If you change your mind. I got some tape.

Draw good fruit.

- Stay where I can see you. - I will.

Draw good fruit.

Pilot to tower.

Gotta make an emergency landing. Wing's all screwed up.

Look at this mess!

I'm sorry. Daddy. I didn't mean to.

I was trying to fix up your desk for a surprise.

I go to use the phone and come back to this?

Answer me, you damn pup. I'll fix you.

You get over here and take your medicine.

Jack. What did you do to him?

I'm sorry. It's just since that George Hatfield thing...

I don't believe you. What did you do to him?

What did you do to Danny?

Doc?

You awake. Doc?

I am never going to another emergency ward. Jack.

I'm never gonna lie for you again. Either.

You said you didn't need the meetings.

- You said you could stop on your own. - I was wrong.

I never...

in all his life. Did anything like that to him before.

That's the only reason I'm still in this bed with you.

Still in this house with you. Still in this life with you.

Anything ever happens again, I am packing my bags and I'm leaving.

And I'm taking him with me.

You won't need to.

What do you mean?

I'll leave.

One way or the other.

What are you talking about?

About not being able to stand myself like this.

You're right. It's gotta end.

One way or the other.

- Danny? - What? What do you want?

I'm here.

Danny. Danny.

Good shot!

Danny.

Hi. Doc.

Hi. Tony. What do you want?

- Tony. You're scaring me. - I know. Doc.

I'm sorry. But I have to.

Stay away, Danny. Stay away.

No. Tony. No. Please.

No. Tony. No.

Come out and take your medicine.

Come out here, you damned little pup.

Get out here right now.

You're making it worse for yourself. I'll find you.

And when I do. By God. You'll take your medicine now!

No!

Daddy! Hey. Dad. Hi.

Hey. Danny boy. How you doing. Kiddo?

Danny?

Danny. You okay?

Danny?

Dan. What...?

Danny? You all right. Son?
