EXCUSE ME.

MAN:
MA'AM.

PARDON ME.

EXCUSE ME.

MAJOR, THERE YOU ARE.

YOU HAVE AN URGENT PHONE CALL.

WHO IS IT?
I'M LATE FOR A CLIENT MEETING.

A FATHER GENARO.

I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS.

HE'S A CATHOLIC PRIEST
FROM FRESNO.

OKAY, TAKE A MESSAGE.

MA'AM, I REALLY THINK
YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CALL.

THIS IS MAJOR MACKENZIE.

SARAH MACKENZIE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M FATHER GENARO.

I'M A FRANCISCAN PRIEST,
AND THE ADMINISTRATOR

AT THE HOSPICE
OF THE SACRED HEART

IN FRESNO, CALIFORNIA.

I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A MAN

I-- I DON'T THINK
WILL LAST THE WEEK.

HE'S BEEN ASKING FOR YOU

SO I LOOKED YOU UP.

I'M SORRY. I THINK
YOU HAVE THE WRONG MACKENZIE.

REALLY? UM, MAY I ASK YOU...

IS YOUR FATHER'S NAME JOSEPH?

[ THEME MUSIC PLAYING ]

GENARO:
YOUR FATHER CAME IN LAST WEEK.

THE CANCER, IT SEEMS,
HAS TRAVELED TO THE LIVER

WHICH WAS APPARENTLY NOT IN
VERY GOOD SHAPE TO BEGIN WITH.

FATHER, DO YOU NEED MONEY?

OH, NO, NO, NO.

WE DON'T CHARGE.

WE'RE SET UP PRINCIPALLY
FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T PAY.

JOSEPH AND I TALKED.

HE'S ACCEPTED HIS FATE

BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE
A GREAT DEAL OF PSYCHIC PAIN.

I GUESS HE WANTS TO...

FATHER GENARO, I HAVEN'T SEEN
MY FATHER SINCE I WAS 17.

WE'RE ESTRANGED.

YES, THAT'S BEEN CONFIRMED
BY HIM.

BUT I WOULD...

WHAT DO I CALL YOU?

MISS? MRS.?

MAJOR IS FINE.

MAJOR.

MAJOR, I THINK
THAT'S THE POINT OF MY CALL.

I BELIEVE IT WOULD
BE OF GREAT COMFORT
TO YOUR FATHER IF YOU

AND OTHER MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY
WERE PRESENT.

IN FACT, I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO REACH YOUR MOTHER.

DO YOU KNOW
WHERE I CAN CONTACT HER?

NO.

OH, I, UH...

I BELIEVE HE WOULD WANT
THE BOTH OF YOU HERE.

YOU KNOW, TO SETTLE THINGS.

MAJOR?

BLACKSBURG UNICOM,

THIS IS STEARMAN
NOVEMBER ROMEO 1-5-3,

FOR A STRAIGHT IN APPROACH
ON RUNWAY 2-4.

BLACKSBURG UNICOM,
NO OTHER TRAFFIC IN THE PATTERN.

ROGER, BLACKSBURG UNICOM.

1-5-3 KEY ON.
1-3-5 POINT ZERO.

CLICK TWICE FOR RUNWAY LIGHTS.

YOU KNOW, THE SUN WAS SETTING

AND I HAVEN'T CHECKED
MY NIGHT VISION IN A WHILE.

I DRIVE AT NIGHT.

I FIND THE LIGHT SWITCH
IN THE DARK.

MAYBE IT'S OKAY NOW.

MAN:
IT'S NOT OKAY.

YOU HAVE SCARS
ON BOTH RETINAS.

YEAH, THEY'RE FROM ABOUT
OF TOXOPLASMOSIS

I CONTRACTED ABOUT
TEN YEARS AGO.

AND WHAT MADE YOU THINK
THEY WOULD HAVE GONE AWAY?

AND DON'T TELL ME
THE NAVY DOCTORS TOLD YOU

TO EAT CARROTS
AND DRINK COD LIVER OIL.

IF YOU'RE SERIOUS
ABOUT IMPROVING YOUR CONDITION

YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO FACE SURGERY.

WELL, DOC, ACCORDING
TO MY RESEARCH

NIGHT BLINDNESS IS NOT
SURGICALLY TREATABLE.

YOU DON'T HAVE NIGHT BLINDNESS.

YOU WERE MISDIAGNOSED.

YOU HAVE BLURRED VISION
AS A RESULT OF THE SCARRING.

DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS
IT'S INCONSEQUENTIAL.

IT'S EVIDENT AT NIGHT.

YOU CAN MAKE THIS GO AWAY?

THROUGH A PROCESS

CALLED LASER ABLATION.

I'VE DONE SIX
OF THESE PROCEDURES--

ONE ON A COMMERCIAL PILOT.

IS HE FLYING?

ALL THE TIME.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS?

THERE'S A CHANCE YOU COULD
EXPERIENCE FURTHER REDUCTION

OF YOUR NORMAL VISION.

MEANING?

MEANING YOU MIGHT NEVER
STEP INTO THE COCKPIT
OF ANOTHER AIRPLANE.

HEY.

THIS IS NOT A
GOOD TIME, HARM.

OKAY. NO PROBLEM.

HOW ABOUT NOW?

TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS.

MY FATHER'S DYING.

I'M SORRY.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED.

YOUR FATHER DRANK, RIGHT?

OFTEN.
I THINK YOU TOLD ME

THAT HE ABUSED
YOUR MOTHER.

YEAH, JUST AS OFTEN.

I GUESS I WAS
UNDER THE IMPRESSION

YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HIM.

I DON'T.

HE ASKED FOR ME.

HE'S IN A HOSPICE
IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.

YOU STILL ANGRY AT HIM?

NO, I'M OVER THAT.

SO GO.

WELL, THE REASON I'M OVER IT

IS BECAUSE I STOPPED MAKING HIM
A PART OF MY LIFE.

I DON'T THINK ABOUT HIM.

I DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE
HIS EXISTENCE.

SO WHAT ARE YOU UPSET ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND OUT.

WHAT WOULD I SAY?

GO WITH AN OPEN MIND.

IT MIGHT TURN OUT
BETTER THAN YOU THINK.

MAYBE HE WANTS TO BEQUEATH YOU
A 100-ACRE RANCH IN TEXAS.

INTRODUCE YOU TO A TWIN SISTER

YOU NEVER
KNEW YOU HAD.

NO MORE DEATH THIS YEAR.

IT'S NOT WORTH THE ANGUISH.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING

THAT I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT LATELY.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

DON'T MAKE THIS
ABOUT YOUR FATHER, HARM.

IT'S NOT THE SAME.

THIS IS SOMETHING
ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT, MAC.

WHY IS IT THAT WE THINK

IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO BURY THINGS, YOU KNOW?

TO PRETEND THAT
THEY DON'T MATTER.

SEE, YOU DON'T REALIZE
WHAT KIND OF AN INFLUENCE

YOUR FATHER'S
BEEN ON YOU, MAC.

THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU JOINED THE MARINE CORPS,
YOU'RE AN ALCOHOLIC...

MY FATHER HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH MY BECOMING A MARINE

AND I'LL TAKE
THE RESPONSIBILITY

FOR MY DRINKING PROBLEM.

YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN.

OKAY, YOU NEED TO GO NOW.

YOU'RE ANGRY, MAC.

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT.

YOU'RE BADGERING ME.

YOU NEED TO
GO DOWN THERE

LOOK HIM IN THE EYE,
AND TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL.

AND IF I DON'T?

YOU'LL CARRY HIM WITH YOU
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

EVERY TIME YOU PUT ON
THAT UNIFORM, HE'LL BE THERE.

EVERY TRAY OF MARTINIS
THAT PASSES WILL SMELL LIKE HIM.

EVERY TIME A MAN TELLS YOU
YOU'RE WORTH SOMETHING

YOU'LL PUSH HIM AWAY.

BUT THE WAY I SEE IT,
YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES--

YOU CAN CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT,
OR YOU CAN MOVE PAST IT.

AT THE MOMENT, SIR,
THEY'RE CONCENTRATING

ON TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS
WITH THE PHONE LINES

A FAULTY CODEC BOARD

OR A CORRUPTED
COMPUTER.

AND THAT'S THE, UM...

THAT'S THE PROGRESS
THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THREE DAYS?

I'M AFRAID SO, SIR.

WELL, TINER,
THAT'S, UH...

THAT'S AN OPTION A DAY.

WE DO HAVE THE VIDEO
CAMERAS WORKING, SIR.

WELL, I'VE A
VERY SIMPLE QUESTION FOR YOU.

WILL COMMANDER
RABB AND I

BE ABLE TO VIDEO CONFERENCE

WITH THE CNO TOMORROW
AS SCHEDULED?

THAT'S THE PLAN, SIR.

BECAUSE IF WE CAN'T,
TINER, IF WE CAN'T

WE'LL HAVE TO FLY
TO THE U.S.S.
CORREGIDOR

WHERE'S HE'S PRESENTLY VISITING

AND DISCUSS THE HORSE
SLAUGHTER TRIAL ABOARD SHIP.

YES, SIR. I'M AWARE OF
THE INCONVENIENCE FACTOR, SIR.

AND AS MANAGER OF THIS, THIS...

PROJECT...

I ASSUME THAT YOU'RE ALSO AWARE
OF HOW I MIGHT REACT

IF THAT BECOMES A REALITY.

PAINFULLY, SIR.

WHERE THE HELL IS RABB?

I BELIEVE YOU GAVE HIM
THE MORNING OFF, SIR.

WHY?

HE ASKED FOR IT, SIR.

TINER, DO YOU
CONSIDER ME SOFT?

HARDLY, SIR.

JUST CHECKING.

I GOT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THE SWELLING.

IT'S OKAY, JOE.
I'LL GET SOME ICE.

CHEGWIDDEN:
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, COMMANDER?

RABB:
I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD HAVE
THE AFTERNOON OFF.

THIS
AFTERNOON?

ADMIRAL, I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN

THAT YOU AND I
ARE VIDEO CONFERENCING
WITH ADMIRAL DRAKE.

I'VE TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT ROBERTS.

AS CO-COUNSEL, HE'S AGREED
TO TAKE MY PLACE, SIR.

THE LIEUTENANT
IS NEW TO THE CASE.

I REALIZE THAT, SIR

BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU,
HE'S ON TOP OF IT.

DIDN'T I GIVE YOU
YESTERDAY MORNING OFF?

YES, SIR, YOU DID
AND I APPRECIATE IT, TOO.

THIS IS THE FOLLOW-UP, SIR.

TO WHAT?

TO A MEDICAL PROCEDURE, SIR.

MINOR SURGERY.

I NEED THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY
TO RECOVER.

I'VE ASKED THE LIEUTENANT
TO PLACE A COPY OF THE NOTES

FROM THE MEETING ON MY DESK.

I'LL COME IN LATER
AND I'LL CATCH UP.

OH, SO YOU SPOKE TO HIM
BEFORE YOU SPOKE TO ME.

SIR, IT'S JUST THAT THE DOCTOR
HAS AN OPENING LATER TODAY

AND IF I DON'T
GRAB THIS

I'LL HAVE TO
WAIT SIX WEEKS.

PERMISSION DENIED.

BUT, SIR...

WE'RE SHORT STAFFED, COMMANDER.

MAJOR MACKENZIE,
COMMANDER BRUMBY ARE ON LEAVE.

ADMIRAL...

WHY CAN'T THIS WAIT?

I GUESS I'M JUST EAGER
TO HAVE IT DONE, SIR.

IS YOUR HEALTH IN RISK?

I'D HAVE TO SAY NO TO THAT, SIR.

GOOD GOD! IT'S NOT
PLASTIC SURGERY, IS IT?

NO, ADMIRAL.

IT'S MY EYES, SIR.

HMM.

DOES THIS HAVE, UH,
CAREER IMPLICATIONS?

WELL, SIR, IT GIVES ME OPTIONS.

ARE YOU UNHAPPY HERE, COMMANDER?

I CAN ASSURE YOU, ADMIRAL,
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JAG.

[
SIGHS
]

GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MAJOR?

FATHER GENARO.

WELCOME.

WAS YOUR FLIGHT
ALL RIGHT?

IT WAS FINE.

ABOUT YOUR FATHER...

I NOTICED HE'S ASLEEP.

WELL, ACTUALLY, HE'S...

I SHOULD PROBABLY CHECK IN

AT THE HOTEL ANYWAY.

MAYBE YOU CAN CALL ME
WHEN HE WAKES UP.

SURE.

ARE THERE
VISITING HOURS?

NO. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO BE
HERE AT ANY TIME.

OKAY, THEN.

YOUR FATHER SLIPPED
INTO A COMA

JUST UNDER
AN HOUR AGO.

WILL HE COME OUT OF IT?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I-I'M DEEPLY SORRY.

HE WOULD HAVE WANTED TO SEE YOU.

I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE COMFORT
IN THE FACT

THAT YOU WERE HERE
WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE.

ST. PETER TELLS US

"ALL FLESH IS AS THE GRASS

"AND ALL THE GLORY OF MAN
AS THE FLOWER OF GRASS.

"THE GRASS WITHERETH

"AND THE FLOWER
THEREOF FALLETH AWAY

BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD
ENDURETH FOREVER."

MAJOR, A-ARE
YOU ALL RIGHT?

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!

YOU CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS!

MAJOR, PLEASE!
NURSE, NURSE!

DO YOU HEAR ME?

YOU CAN'T DIE YET!
DO YOU HEAR ME?

NURSE! MAYOR, PLEASE!

TINER:
THE SATELLITE TRANSMISSION'S
COMING THROUGH, SIR.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
ADMIRAL.

HOW ARE THINGS
ABOARD SHIP?

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MAYOR, LIEUTENANT.

THINGS ARE STRETCHED
TO THE LIMIT BY KOSOVO.

THAT'S MY HEADACHE.

LET'S DISCUSS YOURS.

WHERE'S RABB?

THE COMMANDER WAS
UNABLE TO ATTEND.

LIEUTENANT ROBERTS
IS CO-COUNSEL.

HE'S TAKING
HIS PLACE.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH
THE CASE, LIEUTENANT?

YES, SIR. TWO SEALS AND A MARINE
ARE CHARGED

WITH SLAUGHTERING 24 WILD HORSES
IN WYOMING.

ALL THREE
ARE PLEADING NOT GUILTY.

THE COMMANDER AND I
ARE REPRESENTING THE TWO SEALS.

THE MARINE'S FAMILY HAS RETAINED
A CIVILIAN ATTORNEY, SIR.

DUE TO THE PARTICULARLY
HEINOUS NATURE

OF THIS CRIME,
I WANTED TO BRAINSTORM WAYS

OF AVOIDING A SENSATIONAL TRIAL.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

YES, SIR.
ACTUALLY, I...

CHEGWIDDEN:
WHAT THE HELL?

WE'VE LOST TRANSMISSION, SIR.

BUT YOU KNOW THAT.

GET HIM BACK, TINER.

YES, SIR.

THOUGHT THEY FIXED

THIS DAMN THING!
THEY DID, SIR.

THEY LOCATED THE PROBLEM
AT THE INVERSE MUX.

THE WHAT?

THE INVERSE MULTIPLEXING VOX

THAT TERMINATES THE PHONE LINE.

IT'S WHERE
THE I.S.D.N. LINE

ENTERS THE SYSTEM,
SIR.

OKAY, SIR.

MY SUSPICIONS WERE CORRECT.

THINGS HERE ARE FINE.

MUST BE THE MAIN FUSE BOX.

YOU WANT SOME HELP?

PLEASE, SIR.

"INVERSE MUX."

IS THERE A PROBLEM, MAJOR?

I PUT IN MY MONEY,
AND I PUSHED THE BUTTON

BUT NOTHING CAME OUT.

WHAT DID YOU WANT?

ROOT BEER!

UM, WOULD COLA SUFFICE?

NO.

WHY DON'T I SEND
ONE OF THE NURSES

TO A CONVENIENCE STORE?

WHAT BRAND OF ROOT BEER
DO YOU PREFER?

DON'T SEND ANYONE.

HOW ABOUT A GLASS
OF ICED TEA?

I DON'T DRINK IT.

L-LEMONADE?
FATHER...

I THINK WE HAVE
ONE OF THOSE PUNCH
MIXES IN THE KITCHEN.

I'LL JUST GO GET IT.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DRINK.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE DRINK.

IS THAT NOT CLEAR TO YOU?

IT IS.

THEN WHY ARE YOU ASKING?

I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING
IF IT GETS YOU

TO STOP KICKING THIS MACHINE.

PEOPLE ARE DYING HERE.

I'M SORRY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT?

NO.

OKAY.

WELL, UM, I'M HERE AND ABOUT.

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,
AND YOU CAN'T...

FIND ME, JUST HOLLER.

NO, DON'T DO THAT.

COME FIND ME, PLEASE.

I'LL MOST LIKELY BE IN MY OFFICE
AT THE END OF THE HALL.

YOU KNOW, FATHER

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT ME.

I CAN CONTROL MYSELF.

GOOD.

I'M-I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT.

NOT JUST FOR THE PATIENTS

BUT FOR YOURSELF
AS WELL.

I BELIEVE THAT TIME
SPENT HERE CAN BE USEFUL.

USEFUL?

IN HELPING YOU
ACCEPT CERTAIN THINGS.

MANY VISITORS AND FAMILY MEMBERS

FIND THEY HAVE ISSUES
THAT NEED RESOLVING.

CERTAIN FEELINGS COME UP.

THEY FIND THEMSELVES
FRIGHTENED, CONFUSED...

ANGRY?

CERTAINLY.

I'M NOT ANGRY.

YOU'RE NOT?

I'M FURIOUS.

MY FATHER WAS A FIRST-CLASS
DRUNKEN SON OF A BITCH.

HE DROVE MY MOTHER AWAY

AND HE MADE MY TEENAGE YEARS
HELL ON EARTH.

HELL IS ONLY IN THE AFTERLIFE.

HE HAD A ROTTEN SOUL.

HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO LIVE
AS LONG AS HE DID.

HE HASN'T PASSED YET.

JESUS SAID

"LET NOT THE SUN
GO DOWN UPON YOUR WRATH."

THAT MAY WORK
FOR YOU, FATHER.

NOT FOR ME.

YES, I'D LIKE TO BOOK A FLIGHT
TONIGHT TO D.C.

WHERE DOES IT STOP OVER?

ORLANDO? ARE YOU KIDDING?

HOW LONG A WAIT
FOR A CONNECTING FLIGHT?

FORGET IT.
I COULD WALK THERE FASTER.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?

OKAY, FINE. 3:00 TOMORROW.

I DON'T CARE.

JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE.

FUSE IS BLOWN, SIR.

DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER?

NO, SIR.

THE NEAREST ELECTRONICS STORE
IS IN CRYSTAL CITY.

IF I DON'T GET THIS
HAPPENING SOON

THE OLD MAN WILL KICK
MY BUTT BACK TO NORFOLK.

WELL, WHAT ARE
THE ALTERNATIVES?

I SAY WE BYPASS THE FUSE

AND TAP INTO
THE EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY.

THE GENERATOR?

IT SHOULDN'T COMPROMISE
ANYTHING THAT'S RUNNING.

AND YOU KNOW HOW
TO DO THIS?

YES, SIR.

WHEN I WAS IN JUNIOR COLLEGE,

I BORROWED JUICE FROM THE
STADIUM'S EMERGENCY UNIT.

YOU STOLE IT?

I HAD AN UNCOMPROMISING
BUDGET, SIR.

WILL WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME
TO COMPLETE THE MEETING?

HOW FAST DO YOU TALK, SIR?

[
PRAYING QUIETLY
]

I DON'T GET IT, FATHER.

SORRY.

I CAN THINK OF MORE
PRODUCTIVE THINGS TO DO

THAN TRY TO SAVE
JOE MACKENZIE'S SOUL.

HE'S A CHILD OF GOD.

HIS SOUL BELONGS
IN HEAVEN.

WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

JESUS FORGIVES ALL
WHO ACCEPT HIS LOVE.

AND MY FATHER DID THAT?

YES, JUST LAST WEEK.

HE WAS SCARED.

HE WAS LOOKING
FOR A LAST-MINUTE REPRIEVE.

NO, I BELIEVE
IT WAS GENUINE.

HE WAS GRIPPED
BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

TO THE POINT OF TEARS.

IF HE COULD HAVE DONE THAT
WHEN HE WAS BORN

THEN WE'D HAVE SOMETHING.

IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING,

IF YOU HATE HIM THIS MUCH,
WHY DID YOU COME HERE?

I
DO
MIND YOU ASKING.

I MIND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.

YOUR WIMPINESS, YOUR NAIVETE,

YOUR SANCTIMONY,
YOUR PRESUMPTIONS.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THAT YOU CAN WALK

INTO THE MIDDLE OF A FAMILY
AND HEAL ALL WOUNDS?

THERE ARE SCARS THERE, FATHER.

AND WHAT'S LEFT OF
MY
SOUL
IS COVERED IN THEM.

ARE YOU DONE YET?
NO.

THEN GO AHEAD. I'M LISTENING.

DON'T TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.

IT JUST MAKES ME WANT
TO SMACK IT.

YOU'RE RIGHT
ABOUT YOUR FIRST OBSERVATION.

I AM A WIMP.

THAT SAID, I AM LESS NAIVE
THAN I APPEAR TO BE.

SOMETIMES I USE THAT QUALITY
TO GET WHAT I NEED.

YOU'RE WRONG
ABOUT THE THIRD POINT.

I DON'T PRESUME ANYTHING.

YOUR FATHER ACCEPTED
OUR CHARITY

AND THE CONDITIONS
UPON WHICH IT IS GIVEN.

ANYONE COMING IN HERE SHOULD
KNOW THAT OR THEY'RE NAIVE.

AND AS FOR BEING
SANCTIMONIOUS...

I PREFER THE TERM "SANCTIFIED."

I TRUST IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
TO GUIDE ME.

IF YOU DON'T,
THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

I'M SORRY.

YOU CAME HERE
TO FIND ANSWERS, RIGHT?

I GUESS.

I KNOW IT MAY BE HARD
FOR YOU TO BELIEVE

BUT YOUR FATHER
LOVED YOU.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY HE
USED TO REFER TO ME

AS HIS "STUPID, TRAMP DAUGHTER."

HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO EXPRESS IT.

THE HOSTILITY CAME
FROM A FEELING OF INADEQUACY.

HE HATED YOUR BOYFRIENDS
BECAUSE THEY HAD YOUR RESPECT.

THAT SENT HIM
INTO A DOWNWARD SPIRAL.

HIS DRINKING GOT WORSE.

MUCH.

HOW LONG DID YOU
STAY WITH HIM

AFTER YOUR MOTHER LEFT?

TWO YEARS.

MY JUNIOR YEAR
IN HIGH SCHOOL, I RAN WAY.

ABANDONMENT IS A CONTINUING
THEME IN HIS LIFE.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE REST OF IT?

WELL, AFTER HIS DISCHARGE
FROM THE CORPS

HE PLAYED DRUMS
WITH A ROADHOUSE BAND.

TRAVELED AROUND A LOT.

WAS EMPLOYED MOSTLY
AS A SECURITY GUARD.

TRIED OPENING
A FROZEN YOGURT SHOP
IN LAUGHLIN, NEVADA.

IT WENT UNDER.

SPENT TWO YEARS
IN PRISON FOR TAX EVASION.

HAD GIRLFRIENDS ON AND OFF.

MOST OF THEM LEFT
AT SOME POINT

EXCEPT ONE
AND SHE KILLED HERSELF.

WAIT UNTIL ST. PETER
TAKES A LOOK AT THAT RESUME.

WELL, THAT'S WHY
HE WANTED YOU

AND YOUR MOTHER HERE.

TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

TO APOLOGIZE
FOR HIS MISSPENT LIFE

AND TO ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT
HIS PAIN AND HIS SUFFERING.

WHAT ABOUT MY MOTHER?

WHAT ABOUT WHAT
SHE WENT THROUGH?

WHERE WAS GOD
WHEN HE WAS

SMACKING HER
ACROSS THE ROOM?

MOTHER:
YEAH, FATHER.

I WOULD LIKE
TO HEAR YOUR ANSWER.

ROBERTS:
OKAY, SIR,
ALLOW ME TO SYNOPSIZE.

NO LEAKS,
NO PRESS BRIEFINGS.

ALL COMMENTS SHOULD
BE RESTRICTED

TO THE LEGAL ASPECTS
OF THE CASE.

ANYTHING RESEMBLING
A MORAL TONE

SHOULD BE SAVED
FOR THE COURTROOM.

THE STATE INVESTIGATORS
SHOULD DO THE SAME.

CORRECT.

CHEGWIDDEN:
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?

NO, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

[
SIGHS
]

NOW WHAT?

WE APPEAR TO HAVE
A POWER OUTAGE, SIR.

TINER?

[
SIGHS
]

MY POOR FEET.

PHLEBITIS.

THANK GOD FOR DISABILITY.

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL...

EVEN IN THAT UNIFORM.

I DIDN'T JOIN BECAUSE OF HIM.

UNCLE MATT INSPIRED ME.

HOW IS HE?

IN LEAVENWORTH FOR STEALING
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

OH.

YOU KNOW, I STAYED
WITH HIM FOR A WHILE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, HONEY.

THE FIRST I HEARD
ABOUT YOU WAS

WHEN I GOT A MESSAGE
FROM THIS PRIEST.

HE SAID YOU'D BE HERE.

JUST WHY I CAME.

CERTAINLY WASN'T BECAUSE
OF JOE MACKENZIE.

[
SIGH
]

I DON'T LOOK
TOO GOOD, DO I?

NO, JUST DIFFERENT.

I'VE ONLY BEEN HEAVY
FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.

I'M AN EMBARRASSMENT.

PLEASE.

YOU MUST HATE ME.

THE NIGHT I LEFT WAS
YOUR 15TH BIRTHDAY.

YOU WERE AT A SLEEPOVER
AT CHERYL'S HOUSE, REMEMBER?

YOUR FATHER CAME HOME
FROM THE N.C.O. CLUB

PUKED ON THE KITCHEN TABLE

AND ACCUSED M
OF HAVING AN AFFAIR.

I TRIED TO CALM HIM
DOWN LIKE USUAL

BUT THIS TIME

HE PUT A PARING KNIFE
TO MY THROAT.

HE DREW SOME BLOOD

THEN TOLD ME HE WAS
GOING TO CUT ME UP

INTO LITTLE PIECES

AND USE ME FOR RABBIT FOOD.

I TOOK THE THREAT SERIOUSLY.

WHERE DID YOU GO?

PORTLAND. I DIDN'T PLAN IT.

I JUST GOT ON A BUS

AND GOT OFF
WHEN IT STOPPED.

[
SIGHS
]

WHAT?

YOU LEFT ME WITH HIM.

DID HE HURT YOU?

NOT PHYSICALLY.

I KNOW HE PICKED ON YOU

AND GAVE YOU A HARD TIME

BUT I ALSO KNEW

THAT HE NEVER WOULD
HAVE HURT YOU

AND THAT'S WHAT LET
ME SLEEP AT NIGHT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY
TO CONTACT ME?

I DID... ON AND OFF
FOR THE FIRST MONTH

BUT HE ALWAYS PICKED UP
THE PHONE

AND A LETTER WOULD HAVE
NEVER GOTTEN BY HIM.

YEAH, BUT I LEFT HIM
AFTER TWO YEARS.

I WAS AFRAID THAT
YOU'D BE SO ANGRY

THAT YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME

AND I WAS TOO FRAGILE
TO HANDLE THE REJECTION.

AND THIS TIME?

THIS TIME, I SAID,
"TO HELL WITH IT.

I'M GOING TO SEE MY DAUGHTER."

DR. MARGADY:
HOW'S IT FEELING?

EVERYTHING'S FUZZY.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
IS HOLD THIS RETINAL LENS

OVER YOUR EYEBALL.

IT PROVIDES MAGNIFICATION

SO THAT I CAN SEE
THE BLOOD VESSELS

UNDER THE RETINA.

OKAY.

AND THEN WE'LL
USE THE ARGON LASER

TO DESTROY THE MUTANTS.

YOU WON'T FEEL ANYTHING

BUT YOU WILL SEE
TINY PULSES OF LIGHT.

THAT'S THE LASER FIRING

AT TENTH-OF-A-SECOND
INTERVALS.

ARE YOU NERVOUS?

NO.

THEN WOULD YOU MIND
NOT TAPPING YOUR FOOT?

OH. SORRY.

IT'S DISCONCERTING.

AH, WHAT ABOUT MUSIC?

YOU'RE GOING TO SING NOW?

NO, I BROUGHT A TAPE.

IT'S ON THE TABLE.

SURE.

[
TAPE DECK CLICKS
]

[
SOFT CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

DOCTOR:
ALL RIGHT, HOLD STEADY.

HERE WE GO.

HE'S PASSING.
GO TO HIM.

DID YOUR MOTHER LEAVE?

SHE'S IN THE BATHROOM.

MAYBE YOU BETTER GET HER.

MAJOR, I DON'T KNOW MUCH

BUT I KNOW A SOUL
IN TORMENT WHEN I SEE IT.

HE'S NOT EVEN CONSCIOUS.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT HIM.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR CLOSURE

FORGIVENESS IS THE ONLY WAY

TO SHUT DOWN THE PAIN.

IT'S TOO LATE.

NOT FOR YOU.

I'M OKAY NOW.

THE HELL YOU ARE!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THAT CAME FROM.

FATHER, YOU HAVE OTHER
PATIENTS TO CARE FOR.

WHY IS THIS ONE
SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?

BECAUSE HE'S NOT IMPORTANT
TO YOU.

IT'S HIS WALLET.

LOOK AT IT PLEASE.

[ SIGHS ]

HE'S BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR CAREER

WITH PRIDE, I SHOULD ADD.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IMPRESSED
HIM THE MOST?

THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO RISE ABOVE
HIS FAILURE AS A FATHER.

[
KNOCKING
]

YEAH?

WHAT, DARLING?

IT'S TIME.

WOULD YOU COME IN WITH ME?

HONEY, I CAN'T.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

YOU GO IN.

I'LL WAIT.

ARE YOU SURE?

DO YOU HAVE ANY HAND CREAM
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

WELL, NOT SO BAD, HUH?

HOW DID IT GO?

WENT FINE.

NOW, LOOK.
YOU'RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE

SOME BLURRING.

DON'T WORRY.

IT WON'T LAST.

ARE THERE MORE PROCEDURES?

WE DON'T ANTICIPATE IT.

WE'LL SEE.

IF THERE'S IMPROVEMENT,
YOU SHOULD BE GOOD

FOR AT LEAST A YEAR.

WAIT A MINUTE.
THIS ISN'T PERMANENT, DOC?

CAN BE.

RELAX, YOU'RE GETTING
AHEAD OF YOURSELF.

WELL, WHEN WILL WE KNOW?

ASIDE FROM THE SCARRING

YOU HAVE A HEALTHY
OCULAR ENVIRONMENT.

WE SHOULD START
SEEING IMPROVEMENT

WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS.

OH, I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO ASK YOU

TO CONTROL
YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT I NEVER TOLD YOU, DOC.

IT'S, UH...
AS A RESULT OF THIS EYE PROBLEM

I CRASHED A $55 MILLION AIRCRAFT
ONTO THE DECK OF A CARRIER.

MY RADAR INTERCEPT OFFICER
DIED IN THE ACCIDENT.

WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THIS?

BECAUSE I'M BEGINNING TO THINK

THIS WHOLE THING
WAS A FOOL'S ERRAND.

WHO AM I KIDDING?

TO THINK THAT I COULD EVER HAVE
A SHOT AT GETTING BACK UP THERE.

LOOK.

YOU'RE JUST SUFFERING
FROM POST-OP ANXIETY.

YOU FELT COMPELLED TO DO THIS
OUT OF A DESIRE

TO RETURN TO A SKILL
THAT YOU ONCE HAD MASTERED.

NO ONE CAN FAULT YOU

FOR TRYING TO COMPLETE
YOUR DREAM.

HIS HAND TIGHTENED
BEFORE HE WENT.

IT WAS A SQUEEZE.

HE WAS THANKFUL
FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.

PROBABLY A MUSCLE SPASM.

"BEYOND THIS SHORE

"AND THE FARTHER SHORE

"BEYOND THE BEYOND

"WHERE THERE IS NO
BEGINNING AND NO END

WITHOUT FEAR GO."

IS THAT
A CATHOLIC VERSE?

IT'S BUDDHIST.

DON'T TELL THE MONSIGNOR.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A PRIEST CRY.

I DO IT ALL THE TIME.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T THINK SO.

IT'LL TAKE A WHILE.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE.

[
SIGHS

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD THING
YOU'RE DOING HERE.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THAT TOOK LONG ENOUGH.

YOU DON'T CARE,
NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT?

I CARE.

I'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE.

HE GOT TO YOU, DIDN'T HE?

WOULD YOU HOLD ME?

OH, BABY.

COME HERE.

OH...

IT'S OKAY, BABY.

IT'S OKAY.

SHH. SHH.

OH.

WOW, I JUST HAD DEJA VU.

I WAS UPSET,
AND YOU WERE HOLDING ME.

I WAS CRYING OVER LOSING

THAT BIG WHITE MUTT.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME, RUGGLES?

RUGGLES.

THAT'S RIGHT,
YOU RAN AWAY.

IT WAS DAD
WHO WAS HOLDING ME.

IT WAS YOU WHO RAN AWAY

AND YOU TOOK THE DOG
WITH YOU, DIDN'T YOU?

HE FOLLOWED ME, DARLING.

HE WAS RUNNING
ALONGSIDE THE BUS.

I HAD TO BEG THE DRIVER
TO LET HIM IN.

I MEAN, I COULDN'T HAVE
TAKEN HIM BACK.

NO.

SO I KEPT HIM.

HE LIKED YOU.

YEAH.

HE USED TO COME TO YOU
WITH THAT ROPE IN HIS TEETH

AND YOU WOULD SWING HIM
AROUND THE LINOLEUM.

YEAH.

[
BOTH CHUCKLING
]

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

WHAT?

RUGGLES-- DID HE DIE?

OH, I'M SURE.

IT'S BEEN SOME 17-ODD YEARS.

YOU DON'T KNOW?

OH, HONEY.

I TRAVELED AROUND SO MUCH.

AND, UH...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW
IT HAPPENED, REALLY.

I WAS HALFWAY TO UTAH

WHEN I REALIZED I'D LEFT
HIM AT A BOARDING HOUSE.

HE WAS SO BIG
AND SO HARD TO TRAVEL WITH.

I DIDN'T HAVE A CAR

AND THEY LOVED HIM THERE.

I'M SURE THEY TOOK
VERY GOOD CARE OF HIM.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE DOG...
HE WAS LEFT...

ABANDONED.

HONEY.

YOU, KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

JOE MACKENZIE WAS
A CONFUSED AND MISERABLE DRUNK

BUT I LEFT HIM.

HE PAID THE BILLS

AND HE TRIED TO COOK

AND HE LOOKED AT MY HOMEWORK.

HE EVEN CLEANED THE HOUSE.

HE MADE A HOME FOR ME
IN HIS OWN PATHETIC WAY.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT
THAT ALMOST MEANS MORE TO ME

THAN YOU COMING BACK
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

WHY SHOULD I CARE
IF YOU WERE FRIGHTENED

THAT I MIGHT
REJECT YOU?

YOU REJECTED ME.

YOU ABANDONED ME

AND I DID THE SAME THING
TO MY FATHER.

IT'S FOR THE BEST, I GUESS.

IF I'D BEEN WITH YOU

I PROBABLY WOULD'VE
WOKEN UP ONE MORNING

TO FIND YOU GONE AGAIN.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

I'VE NEVER BEEN MUCH
GOOD TO ANYBODY--

NOT EVEN MYSELF.

STOP IT.

I FORGIVE YOU.

[
SOBBING:
]
THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO BURY MY FATHER.

CHEGWIDDEN:
LIEUTENANT!

WHAT'S THE WORD?

APPARENTLY, THE MAIN
AND THE AUXILIARY SWITCH BOXES

ARE FRIED, SIR.

THERE'S WAX ALL OVER MY DESK.

I'LL HELP YOU CLEAN THAT UP.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO CLEAN IT UP.
I WANT INCANDESCENT
ILLUMINATION.

I WISH I COULD HELP YOU
WITH THAT, SIR.

IS TINER WITH THEM?

WHEN LAST I LOOKED, YES, SIR.

GET ME AN E.T.R.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

HARRIET?

HARRIET?

HARRIET:
HE CAUGHT ME.
