:09:03
It's not gonna hurt for ever, Paul,
I promise you.
:09:07
- Will I be able to walk?
- Of course you will.
:09:10
And your arm will be fine, too.
:09:13
Your shoulder was badly dislocated.
:09:15
It was a little stubborn,
but I finally popped it back in.
:09:18
What I'm most proud of
is the work I did on those legs.
:09:21
Considering what I had in the house,
I don't think a doctor could've done better.
:09:29
It's not nearly as bad as it looks.
:09:32
You have a compound fracture
of the tibia in both legs.
:09:35
The fibula in the right leg
is fractured, too.
:09:38
I could hear the bones moving, so it's best
for your legs to remain immobile.
:09:42
And as soon as the roads open,
I'll take you to a hospital.
:09:46
Meantime, you've got
a lot of recovering to do,...
:09:49
..and I consider it an honour
that you'll do it in my home.
:10:00
This is Marcia Sindell,
calling from New York City.
:10:03
I'd like to speak to the Silver Creek
chief of police or sheriff.
:10:06
- Which one do you want?
- Whichever one's not busy.
:10:09
Well, I'm pretty sure they're both not
busy, Miz Sindell, since they're both me.
:10:13
I also happen to be president of
the Policeman's Benefit Association,...
:10:18
..chairman of the Patrolman's
Retirement Fund,...
:10:20
..and if you need a good fishing guide
you could do a lot worse.
:10:24
Call me Buster. Everybody does.
:10:26
What can I do for ya?
:10:28
I'm a literary agent and l...
I feel like a fool calling you,...
:10:32
..but I think one of my clients, Paul
Sheldon, may be in some kind of trouble.
:10:38
- You mean Paul Sheldon the writer?
- Uh-huh.
:10:41
- He's your client, huh?
- Yes, he is.
:10:43
Well, everybody sure likes
those Misery books.
:10:46
Yeah.
:10:47
Paul's been coming to the Silver Creek
Lodge for years to finish his books.
:10:52
I understand he's been up here
the last six weeks.
:10:55
Well, not quite. I just called there.
:10:58
They said he checked out last Tuesday.
Isn't that a little strange?
