Original subtitles

Christ, it stinks in here, Dad.

Didn't I call someone last week to clean this place up?

Are you sleeping down here?

The stairs are giving me a pain in the ass.

Yeah. Well, I told you you could call me.

We could bring the bed in here if you want.

- Did you get fired? - No, I didn't get fired.

- Where's Cathy? - She's not coming today.

Did she leave you?

Cathy's fine.

Your mother said she was fine too.

Didn't stop her from walking off on us.

You can make yourself something decent to eat. Something healthy.

Meatloaf. And a little bit of gin.

Gin too much to ask for a man dying alone here?

Hey, Dad.

I need to ask you something.

Leave me alone.

I got no answers.

David.

Hey, Linny.

Listen, I can't really talk very loudly because Cathy's downstairs.

I heard at the office that Cathy kicked you out, and you're living in a motel.

Who said that?

- That's not true. Who said that? - Wilson.

He's out of his mind. That is not true.

Hey.

- Guess what. - What?

I'm lying here naked.

- Come on, David. - Shh-shh-shh.

Tell me what you're wearing.

Do the... Do that thing that you do.

Okay-

- Mm. - One day, we go away together.

Keep talking.

Tell me again.

There's sand.

The beach.

And We've made love all day long.

Say that thing that we do.

This is what we do.

Yeah. Say it again.

I can't.

- It's okay. This is what we do. - Hm.

What? No.

Okay-

Hi.

I'm supposed to ask you for a cigarette.

What, was it some kind of dare?

- What grade are you in? - Seven.

They don't teach you anything?

This your idea?

- Whose was it? - Syd's.

The tall one?

She in seventh grade too?

We all are.

She looks older.

I know.

She always put you up to things like this?

I guess.

All right, put it in your mouth.

A lady doesn't light her own cigarette.

What's in the purse?

Makeup.

I don't have any money.

I just buried my father.

You ever been to a wake?

Your friends are over there laughing at you.

You know that, don't you?

I'm gonna give you a little tip.

Something that you can hold onto forever.

- What? - I'll even give you this whole pack.

In exchange, let me play a little trick on your friend Syd.

Teach her a lesson for doing this to you.

What kind of trick?

Let's scare them.

Let's pretend I'm kidnapping you. Okay?

I'm gonna march you to my truck. You're not gonna scream.

You're gonna look back at them, so they know you're afraid.

- What? No. - We're gonna play a trick on your friends.

- I'm not gonna hurt you. - What...?

Teaching a little bit of a lesson, right? Come on.

Get up.

You should know better.

I could be taking you somewhere to kill you now.

Your friends should know better.

It was a very dumb thing for you to do to be coming up to me like that.

- Which way? Where do you live? - Lake View Terrace.

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm not a bad guy, but I could've been.

You think we should go inside and tell your parents what happened?

Nobody's home.

You have any brothers or sisters?

You think your friends went into one of the stores...

and told people what happened?

No.

Yeah, me neither.

Purse.

Knock, knock.

Coffee?

Thanks.

I'm really sorry about your dad.

He was a good guy.

A real son of a bitch.

You kind of made a mess of things here.

This is a great position for Linny.

I mean, don't wreck her career.

You put me in a hell of a spot.

Look, I'm sorry. I am.

This is all beyond what I'm used to, with Dad dying and everything.

Look, I'm gonna insist you take some time.

Clear out, let the dust settle.

Okay?

You didn't tell her you're getting divorced, either?

- David. - Hi.

Are you going somewhere?

I was gonna make some calls today, so I thought I'd do it from home.

Mm.

Say "this is what we do."

This is what we do.

It hurts me to say this, but...

let one of those university guys take you out to dinner.

Buy you dessert, put his arm around you.

Don't.

I'm not stupid, you know.

I know I don't deserve you. I know I'm lucky to have you.

So come over and spend the night tonight.

I can't.

I'm doing all the things I have to do so we can spend a few days together.

Free and clear.

Did you come back for cigarettes?

Because I quit since yesterday. I'm on a new plan.

Glad to see you covered yourself up.

You know, I thought about you a lot since yesterday. Yeah.

I was worried I hurt you.

None of them even called me.

To see if you'd killed me or what.

Sorry about your friends.

Not friends anymore.

Tell your mom about yesterday?

No way.

Are you too embarrassed to say anything?

You live around here your whole life?

Probably gonna die here.

I'm sorry to hear that.

What's your name?

Tommie.

That's a beautiful name.

So let me buy you lunch. I won't drag you this time.

It will just be my way of apologizing to you...

if I scared you yesterday.

Well, it was pretty stupid.

- You or me? - Both.

What's your name anyway?

Gary.

Good thing it's not "Tom."

- That'd be weird. - We couldn't be friends.

Here you are. Grilled cheese with nothing on it for you.

Thanks.

My grandmother used to make grilled cheese...

with a slice of pear when we went camping by the river.

- With pear? - Yep.

- Yuck. - Don't knock it till you try it.

I was actually thinking about taking a sort of camping trip soon.

- Good luck finding a river. - I know plenty of rivers.

Well, I could give you my e-mail or something.

Why? Are we gonna see each other again?

I don't know.

I don't really have that many friends around here.

Higher. Throw higher.

- You get it? - Yeah.

Yes.

Imagine a place way better than this.

Acres of pale grass.

Slash of green down where the tamaracks...

and the cottonwoods grow by the river.

- You see all that? - Well...

sort of.

Okay. Go.

There's only one road to get in, El Rancho Road.

It's still unpaved.

It's locked in by a cattle gate. You need a little black key to open it.

Mountains taller than your eyes can see.

Off to the side of the cabin, there's a shop.

Inside of it, there's a little wood stove.

A little AM radio and a bunch of my father's old tools.

On the workbench, there's old pickle jars...

with rusted nails and half-packs of cigarettes.

You're not allowed to have any of those. Okay?

Beyond the shop, there's a set of bunk beds...

looking out at the river and the old, brown ragged horses that we keep.

I love horses.

You know, maybe this should be our last outing for a while.

Why?

Because it's weird?

Yeah. Because it's weird.

That's a lot of fish.

Eight grand. Eight grand in two weeks.

- That's a lot of money. - Easy work.

Where you been?

Jenny's.

How many times I told you not to walk around outside at dark?

It's dangerous.

Okay-

I know someone who died watching TV.

No, you don't.

Not someone I know, but someone I heard about.

Well, he was probably old.

Just goes to show you that you die the way you live.

Who told you that shit?

Some families do other stuff, you know?

Tommie. Look, your mother is tired...

from busting her tail to take care of you.

We sit here worrying about you, wondering where you are...

and the first thing you do is tell us we don't give you enough attention?

- I mean, goddamn. - Go on. Take your shower.

Get ready for bed.

It's not even 7.

I said do it!

- How'd you know to come early? - How did you?

- Seem to talk without talking. - Are you bringing me to school?

Was thinking maybe we could skip school today.

We should call in as a kindness to your teachers.

No, I'll tell my mom I was sick, and then she'll write me a note tomorrow.

So you've done this before?

- Yep. - I'm not corrupting you?

So where are we going?

Got you a little gift.

You wanna try it on?

No.

I like it when it's new.

Don't wanna ruin it.

All right. Seat belt.

Tommie.

Gary.

You really wanna see those mountains?

- Yeah. - No. I mean, you wanna go with me?

Sure.

Where?

A secret trip in your secret life.

- You finally get your camping trip. - For how long?

Just a week.

Not even two Mondays.

I'll bring you back before anyone starts to worry.

We're not gonna tell anybody where we went.

You'll have to swear to God.

Swear to God.

You promise?

I promise.

Do you wanna leave now?

- I don't have my stuff. - I'll buy you stuff.

We shouldn't even tell my mom.

She might let me, but Jesse would never.

All right.

Do you like cartoons?

Listen, I'm gonna go out to the store and get us some things for our trip.

We need to be prepared, right?

How long is it gonna take for us to get there?

Two days.

Then how are we gonna make it back in five nights?

That's why we're doing this in stages.

So we don't do anything stupid.

It's actually more like seven nights.

- Can I come with you to the store? - No.

Why?

I want you to spend some time here alone.

You remember how to get home from here, more or less?

That's for a cab ride home.

I don't wanna go home.

Look, I want you to think about this. Okay?

I want you to take an hour or so, think about this hard...

whether or not you wanna stay here and wait for me.

This will look a lot like a kidnapping to other people.

- Right? - Oh.

Here you are with a stranger in a hotel room.

But you're not a stranger.

Yeah. I know, but maybe this makes you feel a little funny.

It doesn't.

I'm 47, and you're 11.

Okay?

Say "okay, Gary-".

Okay, Gary.

Now, if you decide to stay, I want you to rearrange the room like it's your own.

Okay? Line your shoes up, you wash your face, you mess the pillows up.

So that when I come back...

it's like you're inviting me into your room.

You're weird.

Maybe so.

But if I come back, and you're not here, I will completely understand.

There's no hard feelings. Okay?

What if I wanna go back, like, at a certain point later?

Well, we'll put you on a plane and get you home.

All you have to do is say the word.

It's an open-door policy.

Okay-

So we have a deal?

Equal partners, 50-50?

I'll be back.

I'm heading out of town.

Where?

Dad's cabin. Tomorrow.

Just for a few weeks.

Well, do you want me to come with you again?

Not now.

But soon. Okay?

Now that he's gone, I need a little time to figure out whether or not I wanna sell it.

You're such a doll.

Baah!

Gary, how come you never got married?

I don't know.

- Never met the right girl, I suppose. - Oh.

What about you? You ever have a boyfriend?

No. Nothing that serious.

"Nothing that serious."

What do you mean? Like you've never been in love?

Like not hooking up.

You never?

What is that, like, it's no big deal?

Do you even know how much a stamp costs?

Like 50 cents?

In 1968, a U.S. postal stamp cost a man 5 cents.

That doesn't mean anything to you, does it?

Not really.

We have to do a better job of understanding the world around us.

Don't do that. Jesse does that.

- Does what? - Says "we" when you mean "me."

You're right.

You haven't hooked up with a boy yet, have you, Tommie?

Because it's a big deal.

Do you understand?

There.

What do you think they would think?

I guess I would think some guy and his kid.

If they ask, you'd be able to look them in the eyes...

and tell them that's what we are?

- Sure. - Okay.

Brush your teeth.

Gonna let me turn the bed down for you?

"Turn down the bed"?

Yeah.

You're the kind of girl who deserves someone...

to turn down the bed for you every night.

This is like my grandma's.

Are you getting homesick?

No.

A little.

That's good.

If we're gonna be partners, we have to be square with one another, right?

Right.

Belly full of pizza.

- Did you brush your teeth? - Yes.

Good.

That's my job.

Make sure you're taking care of yourself.

You're sweet.

Look at you.

You are a perfect person.

You know, age 11 is the perfect age to be a young girl...

and you'll know it the minute you turn 12.

This is a perfect moment.

It's like we're camping.

Right?

Like I'm your brother. We're brother and sister.

- I guess you're the older brother. - No, I'm the...

I'm the younger one.

The smaller one. You're the older one, the smarter one.

You're gonna teach me about all the beautiful things...

that I'm supposed to know.

Gary?

Yes, dear?

I think I might wanna call my mom.

Okay-

Okay?

In the morning?

Sure.

What do you wanna tell her?

Just that everything's okay.

That I'm okay...

and not to worry.

Do you think she'll worry more if we call her?

I don't know.

Maybe we should think about that.

Did I do okay with lunch today?

- No. - Yeah.

Here we go.

Are you okay, sweetheart?

Can I help you?

What's your name, honey?

Emily.

Emily, my name is Melissa.

Can I help you with something?

- Are your mom or dad here? - Morning. Hey.

- Is she okay? - Yeah. Yeah. Just a little carsick.

That's the most extraordinary sound I've ever heard.

Blow again.

What are the facts here? Do you remember?

I'm running away from home.

Is that what you think?

We spend a week, and then you take me back.

- Close. - We spend a few days...

- and then you take me back. - And we agreed to this deal, right?

Yes.

So there's no running away.

It's just like a teenager. You're going on vacation, right?

Look.

I know your mom's worried, but how about we send her a postcard, okay?

It'll be such a relief to her to know you're out here in the world having so much fun.

And she'll love you more than ever, and you'll love her more than ever.

Right?

Hey.

There's room in your heart for more love. Okay?

Okay-

Okay-

- You blow your nose like a honking loon. - Heh, heh.

Come on.

Twenty-five...

twenty-four...

twenty-three...

All right.

One good gulp will refuel you.

That way I won't get lonely until I get tired.

No, I don't want one. Aah!

- Tommie, you've got it all over you. - Ow! It's hot!

We have to get you in the bath, cool you down. Don't want it to burn.

- It's okay. - I don't want a bath.

I'm just gonna put you in the bath... Aah!

- Goddamn it. My eye. That hurt. - Don't want a bath!

We have to rinse it off. Come on. .No..

- Just go outside. Count to 60. - Okay.

- Go away! - That's what I should've done. Okay.

- Ow! My lip! My lip! - It's okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, look. Just gonna rinse you off...

so we can get you cleaned up so you can sleep better.

Okay?

- Tommie, we have to... - Go away.

Get out of your clothes so we can rinse you off.

- Can you give me your shirt so we can...? - Go away!

Give me your shirt so we can rinse you off, Tommie.

Okay?

Just give me your shirt so we can rinse you off.

- Okay. Okay. - Go away.

Go away!

Go away! Go away!

Okay. Okay-

Go away! Go away!

Go away!

Go...

Go away.

I wanna go home.

- Shh. Shh. - Go away.

You hungry?

You must be.

You slept for two days.

I wanna go home.

All right.

We'll find a place to pull over, and we'll take you home.

- I'm gonna be in so much trouble. - No, you're not.

They're gonna be so happy to see you.

And then I'll leave town, and then you can get over this.

Never to see me again.

I'm not a little kid.

I didn't sleep for two days.

You treat me like I'm 5. I don't need any fucking baths!

All right.

You're right.

We have to be honest with one another. We have to tell each other everything.

Look, I wanna know when you're sick or when you're homesick or you're cold.

We have to tell each other everything.

We'll turn around and take you home.

Just like we said we would.

My God. Is this the most beautiful place you've ever seen?

Did I bruise your eye?

Wanna hit me again so you even them out?

Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

There's something up there for you.

- What is it? - I don't know. Open it.

Isn't it pretty?

I've never seen so many.

- Gonna take your shoes off? - Yeah.

Go ahead.

- Is it cold? - Yeah.

Ew.

This here is private property.

Mr. Foster.

Who's that?

Walter Lamb's son.

This is my niece, Emily.

You be here for a while?

Just about a week.

Ain't much of a place for a girl.

- I like it. - Yeah. Well...

girl don't get to choose where she lands, does she?

Hey, Em, give us a minute.

She just lost her mother.

Sister? Yours?

Sister-in-law.

Oh, okay.

You got gutters coming down in back, and you also got a broken window.

Listen, Tommie.

I feel a little funny about that old man peeping in the windows, and...

Well, getting any ideas.

- Like he'll know you're not my uncle? - Exactly.

Well, you act like an uncle.

Even like a dad.

Well, my dear, that's a very nice thing for you to say.

But neither one of us really knows what a father should act like, right?

- Oh, yeah. - So...

we'll keep the lights out...

and we use an old-fashioned lantern and a candle.

Okay?

How do you know how to do all this stuff?

Well...

I've been waiting 40 years for a moment like this.

I figured in all that time, I'd have probably figured out how it would go.

But you didn't know about me that entire time.

No.

You are a complete and total surprise.

Good surprise?

Good surprise.

Will you miss me when you take me back?

No hard questions. Let's just enjoy the morning.

- Gary? - Yeah.

Do you think my mom called the police by now?

Honestly?

Yeah.

Yeah. I do.

Are you gonna get in trouble?

No.

How do you know?

You don't have to worry.

This is gonna be good for everybody.

There'll be a new light about you.

And you'll know about this country's secret heart.

You'll be drenched in it.

It's gonna get all over everybody.

Okay-

You really are beautiful, you know that?

No.

You are whole.

I am?

Can I get a root beer?

Sure. Grab me a beer while you're at it.

Can I have a sip?

One sip.

Off the top, and then bring me the rest.

Hello there.

What you got there?

Em?

Hey.

Go inside. Now.

Get inside.

Go.

Sorry you had to witness that.

She's never done anything like that before.

Well, guess a little sip of beer never hurt anybody, did it?

I saw you walking north, by the river. You don't wanna do that.

We got some unfriendly landowners up that way.

We got this old guy, Ed Granger, had a metal plate put in his head in '91.

Hasn't been right since.

And he don't like kids.

See, he was helping my brother-in-law put this place up...

when his kid almost lost her arm on a square of sheet metal.

Whoo.

Not the kind of picture you forget.

I guess not.

Nearest hospital's 70 miles away.

Should've taken that into consideration.

You take a deep breath.

You promised there were horses.

Okay-

Can you calm down and listen to me?

What would've happened if I didn't react like an angry uncle?

What do you think he would've thought of a man letting his niece drink a beer?

I don't know.

It's child abuse, Tom.

And I would've gone to jail.

Then the police would've figured out who you are and where you belong.

How do you think they would've reacted to that at home?

Not good.

It breaks my heart to see you crying like this.

Sorry.

Can you forgive me?

I forgive you.

When you get older, you start to appreciate how short life is.

And you feel it in your bones.

Now, when that happens, everyone becomes ageless.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay-

News end of the clock starts now.

A Wyoming couple died overnight in a deadly fire in their home.

Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused the deadly fire to ignite.

I asked the officer what was going on...

and she told me a house at the end of the street was on fire.

The folks who live here...

on Hidden Mountain Lane watched the flames...

knowing there was nothing they could do.

Okay. Open them.

Oh, gosh.

- Big, brown, raggedy horses. - Heh.

Who's that?

Let's go. Come on, run!

Come on, we've gotta run!

Get in. Get in.

Okay. Listen to me. This is the biggest test.

Foster was nothing compared to this.

If they come and go without you being seen, then I won't get in trouble. All right?

- How did they know you were here? - David?

- Hey- - Hey-

Surprise.

I felt bad that you're up here all by yourself.

- This would be a surprise. - Oh...

- Champagne? - Yeah.

How's it been going?

It's okay.

Oh, wow, it's so nice to be back here.

Mm. Mm-mm.

You're acting weird.

Mm...

I'm gonna go to the bathroom first.

We were just talking out there. Did you hear us talking?

- Is she your girlfriend? - I'll explain later. Okay?

I want you to run, as quiet as a mouse, to the shop.

She's not staying long, right?

Am I making the wrong decision not being able to trust you out there?

Come on. Let's go.

Run.

Is there somebody else?

Just a dozen others.

Kidding.

What do you think I'm doing up here? Having my kicks? I mean, come on.

Sorry.

Really.

You know me by now, don't you?

Sometimes.

Hey.

I just need a little space.

I need to test myself.

Clean out my heart.

It's like an old, crowded garage in there that needs some tidying.

I don't know if you can tidy a heart.

Not like you tidy a garage.

Let's do this, you and I. I want to.

I just feel like I'd be stealing you away from the world.

I can wait for you.

I'm willing to do that.

I knew you would say that.

Why does that make you look like you wanna die?

Because I'm afraid I made you say it.

I'm afraid I make everybody say everything.

Of course you didn't.

You're not that powerful.

You're not even at all angry with me?

Do you want me to be?

I think I want somebody to be.

Well, you can't go around and just make people angry...

so you know where you stand.

I think I might be an awful person.

I think the whole world's out there eyeing on something really wonderful.

And I don't know what it is.

I can't be part of it.

Why did she call you "David"?

That's like when I call you "Emily."

Everything I do, from here on out, is to protect you.

To protect us.

Does she love you?

Yeah. She does.

Do you love her?

Not in the least bit.

I'm doing this for us.

How long do I have to stay in here?

Just one more day.

Okay?

My stomach hurts.

I have to go to the bathroom.

- I can't see. - Shh.

We have to be careful.

Okay?

Come on.

I'm gonna tell you something I've never told anyone before.

What?

You have to promise me you won't tell anyone.

What is it?

It's about my little brother.

You have brothers?

I'm telling you this to show you how special you are to me.

I promise.

My little brother disappeared.

Where?

We don't know.

When he was about your age.

Was he kidnapped?

I don't know.

We never knew.

He used to sleep in a sleeping bag behind the gas station.

Why?

Our house was kind of a sad place.

I think you know how that can be.

Then one morning, he just never came back.

Never showed up.

Not ever?

Not ever.

You have to promise you'll always call me "Gary." Okay?

- Say "I promise." - I promise.

Hi.

Here.

All right, you stay here and you hibernate and snuggle up, my little mountain critter.

When she leaves, we'll have all kinds of new energy, new fun.

Right?

Okay-

okay-

Oh.

- Hide? - Hide.

- Hey, what's this room? - It's just the bunk room.

Well, why don't we sleep here instead of the floor?

All infested with mice shit.

- That's actually beds... - No, they're old and shitty.

I'm gonna go get the mattresses. It has to be better than this hard floor.

- I told you, it's infested with mice shit. - We can clean them.

- We can cover them with towels. - No.

What?

It's haunted.

That room is haunted.

I don't wanna scare you. I want you to really love it here.

I do.

Tell me.

So the owner of this house was a man named Calhoon.

The old neighbor, Foster, he had a little girl with his sister.

And What was her name?

Emily.

So Calhoon, he wanted to have a woodshop...

built off the side of the house to store all his tools.

And he and Foster decided to build it.

He'd dug the foundation...

set the footers, tied the rebar.

And Emily, who was 10 years old...

she would come down every day and join them for lunch.

She used to love playing in the yard with all the scrap metal and all the wood.

And dipping her hand into the wet cement.

One day, they were pouring the concrete slabs...

and Emily disappeared.

Sheriffs came with cadaver dogs...

and they searched the prairies for weeks...

but they never found her.

They never found her alive again.

And the kid is still haunting the place?

Even Worse.

Foster comes down here every night with a flashlight, looking for her.

Have you seen her?

I've talked to her.

What does she say?

She says she's in love with me...

and she wants to live with me here forever.

Gary?

David.

David.

- Who is this? - It's my niece, Emily. She's been sick.

I didn't want you to ca...

No! No!

I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!

- Tommie. - I'm just a kid to you!

Linn, wait. Look, I'm sorry. This is just such a bad time. Okay?

We'll take a rain check. We'll come back in a few weeks.

Linn...

She's my brother's girl.

My younger brother, the one who died.

You never told me that.

Now that we can be closer, you're gonna learn a lot about my family.

- I don't understand. - Look at me. Listen.

I need you to be patient with me, please.

Please?

If you don't like her, how come you see her?

I told you.

For us.

To keep each other safe.

This is the beginning part where we take you back home.

But they'll ask me where I was.

And you won't tell them, right?

I ran away, but here I am now.

Memorize that.

It's the 14th post on the 14th day.

- Can you remember that? - Why?

The 14th fence post will always stand for you.

Turn around.

Turn around and see our little house.

It's ours, right?

Equal partners, right?

I will it to you, Tommie.

It's yours.

And maybe even more yours than it was ever mine.

You'll move here long after I'm gone.

And I will write you a half dozen letters like this one here.

Every single day for the rest of my life.

And they will tell the story of my love for you.

Messages from the dead.

I don't wanna go home.

You feel that?

That pressure right there?

It's the world calling you.

I feel hot again.

If you want, I can go to the store and get you more medicine.

Yeah.

We've stayed here before, haven't we?

If you discover one day that you hate me...

and you're angry with me, that I ruined your life...

at anytime...

if I'm 90, you'll tell me, won't you?

Gary.

You'll buy a pair of steel-toed boots, and you will find me...

all alone and dried up...

and sick in a nursing home, and you'll kick my fucking teeth in.

Please don't say that.

You will outgrow me.

You will forget everything.

No, I won't.

This is how we said it would go, didn't we?

I'll make you a promise.

Valentine's Day.

I'll come and find you.

You'll come and pick me up?

I'll send you a sign.

What kind of sign?

I don't know. Like a ribbon or something.

Tied to an unusual place.

Or I'll break a window, like the one at the cabin.

And I'll leave it broken.

And that way, you'll know I was there.

It's okay.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

Listen. Remember...

you have to be brave.

Okay?

Maybe...

What, sweetheart?

Maybe we can tell everyone.

I think...

I think they would understand.

Because...

Because it's love, right?

Oh, sweetheart.

Remember what we said about keeping each other safe?

Yes.

Okay-

Will you stop crying?

I'm... I'm trying.

Okay-

A love like ours is expensive, right?

Think of it that way.

We pay for it by not seeing each other.

Couldn't we just...?

Couldn't we just go get a coffee or something?

I'm sorry, sweetheart. This is the last chapter.

Do you remember what we said?

You know what to do if they're not there, right?

- Yes. - What?

I... I tell the security guard that, "I ran away and here I am now"...

and, "Could you help me find my mother?"

Right.

And you'll be strong and beautiful?

- Yes. - Then say it.

I will be strong and beautiful.

Yeah. Yeah.

Don't ever forget this hurt.

Don't ever forget the things that we've seen together.

Because it will save you.

You...

will be an apple tree among all the ash-colored buildings of this city.

You just need to close your eyes...

take a deep breath and listen.

Listen to the rain and the wind.

All that rushing through you.

That will be me whispering to you.

I'll be with you this way.

Right?

Hey.

Hey.

Come on.

You should keep it.

It's okay.

Okay, I'm gonna count to five.

Okay.

One...

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.
