[train whistle blowing]

(male narrator)
The whistle of a train
is a mournful sound

as if the locomotive itself

could grow tired
of saying goodbye.

It is the sound
of wars and death

distances of time and space

of families ripped apart

love torn asunder,
futures repealed.

Alright, this is it.

Who wants to hear
the spiel first?

Alright, Harold.
Here you come.

Mother, I´d like
to take this opportunity

to review my pros and cons
for your military tour.

Junior, I know this
is hard on you.

It´s gonna be even harder
on your sister.

I want you to take care
of her. Okay?

You´re her superior. She´s
in your chain of command.

That makes her well-being
your responsibility.

You got it?

You´re a good kid. Just try not
to take everything so seriously.

Go get your sister.

Mom, can I visit you
in Vietnam?

Might be a bit tricky
from a logistics standpoint

but I´ll see what I can do.

Linda, I told your brother to
take care of you while I´m gone.

But we both know
that´s a bunch of hooey.

Truth is I´m counting on you
to take care of him.

- Understood?
- Understood.

That´s my girl.

(male on speaker)
´All aboard for train number 62´

´bound for Denver.´

´All aboard.´

(male #1)
´Kids, I need a minute alone
with your mother.´

´You go watch at the window.´

I thought I made
my findings clear.

I don´t know why
she´s still going.

She wants to see the world.
I´m gonna see it one day too.

- You are not.
- Am too.

- Are not.
- Am too.

♫ C´mon people now ♫

♫ Smile on your brother ♫

♫ Everybody get together ♫

♫ Try and love one another
right now ♫

I´m sorry, we´re closed
for the night.

´Is this an emergency?´

No, I..

This used to be a train station.

You´re a couple
of years too late.

Did you need to go somewhere?

Already did that.

´Just got back.´

Every time I come here,
I feel like I´ve fallen down

a rabbit hole into
some other time and place.

I have similar thoughts
every day.

But at the same time,
it´s so familiar, even now.

I missed it this time.

I´m sorry.
Who did you say you..

(Edna)
´Linda!´

Oh, baby.

Dr. Brown, I want you
to meet my daughter, Linda.

Oh, sweetheart.

[theme music]

We were six miles
from the Guinean border

when the food aid arrived.

And there was an armed attack.

We were too far from camp to get
back to the surgical theater

so we had to set up a tent
before the shooting stopped.

Between rounds, I amputated
a 6-year-old boy´s leg.

- Of course you did.
- He wouldn´t have survived.

´Things that go on
in your day are more drama´

than others see in a decade.

- Speak for yourself.
- I brought presents.

Oh, we have to get going now,
I´m afraid.

Perhaps later.

Amy.

Oh, wow.

It was the legend in this
tiny shantytown I visited

that if you wore that around
your neck you´d never drown.

It´s beautiful.

I was thinking of
that swimming hole you love.

- Thank you, Aunt Linda.
- Oh, you´re welcome.

And for you..

...lion.

Sweet. It looks like you, dad.

These are lovely presents,
Linda.

Yes, bribery of affection
at its finest.

Alright, you two.
Time for school.

- Come on. Let´s go.
- I have something for you too.

-Bye, Dad.
-Bye.

What?

You shouldn´t have.

It´s an instrument. They use it
to call the flock home.

[clanging]

Yes. That will be very useful

when I´ve lost all my sheep.

Happy to see me, Harry?

Of course I am.

I would´ve appreciated
a call or an e-mail

regarding your intention
to visit.

I didn´t even know
till Mother told me yesterday.

I wanted her all to myself.

We went out drinking.

Take the day off.
I´ll write you a doctor´s note.

I´m sure that will be persuasive
to my ailing patients.

Nope, I´m afraid
some of us doctors

do have borders
and schedules.

Now, if you don´t mind, I have
an important consultation.

I met your sister
last night, Harold.

[coughs]

Well, that´s rich.

My sister´s been away
for three years.

She doesn´t bother
to tell me she´s coming.

Doesn´t bother to stop by
when she arrives.

But you, she´s gotta see.

Not close then,
the two of you?

Well, as close as
two siblings can be

when one has faithfully
upheld 110 percent

of the family obligations

while the other traipses
around the globe

like some kind
of baedeker-toting Dr. Quinn.

Peace Corps,
Doctors Without Borders

Medical Institute of Beijing.

Meanwhile, I´m here cutting out
Thurman Revere´s ingrown toenail

in the same offices
my father occupied for 40 years.

I know what you mean.

How would you know what I mean?

Even you had your moment in the
sun outside this pitiful place.

You´re right.

I don´t know what you mean.

I was just trying to be nice.

Brighten up, Harold.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Andy?

Hey. How are you?

No offense, but that outfit
really doesn´t work

outside the diner walls.

- I´ve a favor to ask.
- Sure. What´s up?

It´s my friend, Debbie. She
works the late shift sometimes.

Anyway, she´s a single mom too.

- Too?
- She works long hours too.

Her son, Travis, was caught
stealing condoms

from the pharmacy.

Always better to pay
than risk the bust.

- He´s 13, Andy.
- Oh.

She thought it was time
to talk to him about sex.

He´s starting
to get curious.

But when she tried,
he got really upset.

My heart
goes out to her.

Tell her I tried that once
and went to plan B. I gave up.

I kinda told her that you might
not mind talking to him.

Actually, I´m much more suited
to a lecture setting.

Large groups, no eye contact,
that sort of thing.

She really needs the help
or I wouldn´t ask.

Tell him to come
by my office after school.

Thanks, Andy.
Thanks a lot.

- Don´t mention it.
- Great.

I´m dead.

- You mind if I sit here?
- Only if you stay.

Har har.

- What do you want?
- Nothing.

Just to enjoy your company.

- Do you want my pudding?
- What´s the favor?

What are you talking about?
What favor?

- Okay, it´s about Amy.
- No.

You don´t know
what I was gonna ask.

- Doesn´t matter. Answer´s no.
- Why?

Whatever´s going on with you
and your sister

is your business,
not mine.

When I make it my business,
she gets mad.

- This is different.
- I doubt it.

With everything
that´s been going on

Amy´s been a little bit
out of it.

- That´s normal.
- Well, no.

I mean, I´ve seen Amy
out of it before

and this is really
out of it.

I´m worried about her.

Can you keep an eye on her?
Lemme know what she´s up to.

- Forget it.
- Not always.

Just, you know, whenever
you´re not busy being

a loner geek
with weird T-shirts.

You want me to stalk
your sister?

- You already do.
- We´re friends. We hang out.

Good. You can hang out
but report back to me.

No. No. I already told you.
Forget it.

´Not my sister,
not my problem.´

More, more. You haven´t finished
telling about Sierra Leone.

I´ve yakked my head off
for nearly an hour.

Why doesn´t
somebody else talk?

Thank you.

Like Irv.

Tell me how you two met.

- Well, believe it or not, we--
- Oh, church picnic, blah, blah.

´You don´t wanna hear
about us old fogies.´

Come on. I wanna hear all about
Africa before you start on Asia.

I don´t know. All the stories
run into each other eventually.

Well, I find them fascinating.

You´re the world traveler
I wanted to be.

- You were the original.
- That was just during the war.

Now I´m an old biddy
here with Irv.

Come on.
Just one more story.

Alright, one more.

I was in China,
coming home from university

and I was walking along

and this boy pedaled up beside
me, to see if I could keep up.

So I started walking faster and
he started pedaling faster

until finally, I gave up.

But when I saw the look of
disappointment on his face

I had to laugh. It was Harry.
It was exactly Harry.

And I was home again.

I bought my plane ticket
that day.

I just felt so far away
from you all.

Well, sometimes you have
to come back

and recharge your batteries.

Is there a special man
in your life, Linda?

No. Not for a long time.

Well, who has time
for romance

when you´re saving the world
one starving orphan at a time?

So, what´s next?
You talked about India.

Any chance of that?

Come on in.

Sit down.

So...your mother
was hoping that

you and I could have
a candid talk

man-to-man, regarding..

...regarding sexuality.

That is, regarding your
sexuality or your..

...understanding of rudimentary
elements of sex.

Now, we could structure this
in a variety of ways. Q and A.

Or I could just talk
extemporaneously

with room
for questions after.

Do you have any preference
at all?

I know about
all the stuff, alright?

So can we just tell my mom
we went through it?

Well, maybe we can start by
talking about those condoms

you took from the pharmacy.

- It was a joke.
- ´Was it?´

Because either you were planning

one of the biggest water-balloon
fights in history

or you´re beginning
to feel curious.

´Which is completely normal.´

You see, when you´re 13,
you have all these hormones

just racing through your body

and they´re making
you have different feelings

and sensations
that you never had before.

´So it´s okay if you meet a girl
and you like her´

´and you wanna hold her hand
or kiss her´

´or maybe you even wanna..´

Jeez.

´Oh, I´m sorry.
I made you uncomfortable.´

I´m so sorry.
You know, look, look.

Listen, Travis. It´s not as
though you have to do

any of those things now.

I mean, you can wait
as long as you need.

You can wait
until after college.

I´ve done all those things.

I´ve done a lot more.

- What are you talking about?
- I can´t tell you.

You do know that I can´t tell
anyone what you tell me.

It doesn´t leave this room.

- You can´t?
- I can´t. It´s a doctor rule.

´I promise. Unless you´re
a danger to yourself´

or to someone else,
I can´t tell anyone

unless you give me permission.

Now, when you say that you´ve
done all those things

what exactly do you mean?

- There was just a few of us.
- A few of who, Travis?

Some kids I know.

We were playing around at the
fort out behind Fuller´s Pond.

And then some of them started
kissing each other

and doing stuff to each other.

And then one of them said
we should go all the way.

I didn´t want to,
but everybody was doing it.

- No one else knows about this?
- No one.

You won´t tell, will you?

You said you wouldn´t tell.
You promised.

What I need from you
are the names of these kids

so I can contact the parents.

This is
a public-health issue now.

These kids are at risk
for physical problems

as well as psychological ones

not to mention
unwanted pregnancy.

I think I can help them, but not
if I don´t know who they are.

Will they know
it´s coming from Travis?

They´d be mad
if they found out.

Well, I won´t tell them
who told me.

I can keep that part
confidential.

It´s hard enough being new
at a school

and Travis
has never made friends easy.

´Well, I understand.´

My son went through
the same thing last year but..

...there´s only one
right choice here

and unfortunately,
it´s the hard one.

Everything you told Dr. Brown
is true, right, Trav?

- ´Didn´t leave anything out?´
- Yeah.

I think you should do
what the doctor´s asking

and give him the names
of your friends.

Oh, my God. I remember this
clock so much bigger.

Thanks for holding on
to all of this for me.

I wasn´t about to throw
father´s things away

just because you
didn´t claim them.

I didn´t have a place
to put it.

I haven´t had a real home
in six years.

Doctors without borders
...or apartments.

Is your plan just to throw barbs
at me until I bludgeon you?

- I´m not sure what you mean.
- What is your problem?

Should I not have come home?

My problem is that you should
have come home three years ago.

I told you I couldn´t make it
for dad´s funeral.

I was halfway across the world.

For family, you come home
anyway. Even when you can´t.

There was war going on.
There were no flights.

I could´ve been trapped in the
ocean. I would´ve made it home.

You come home.
That´s what you do for family.

Maybe not for the funeral
but the first second you could.

It´s been three years, Linda.

For crying out loud,
we needed you here.

´It´s not that simple.´

Besides, mom seems okay.

Oh, well, mother was fine.

Hell, she was dancing
at her second wedding

before dad´s wreath wilted.

It wasn´t just her.
Don´t you get it?

I needed you.

I´m here now, Harry.

Wonderful.

So when do you leave?

At least I come out of Mr.
Frysinger´s class well-rested.

I was so bored,
I was counting his eyebrows.

Which is weird
because there´s only one.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You ready?
- I´m ready.

You guys sitting outside?

We´re just going
to Laynie´s house.

Oh, what´s the occasion?

Only our vast selection of
cereal, among other reasons.

Like?

Like, let´s just say

we have some stuff to do
before tonight.

It´s no biggie.
Just some party thing.

- At ECC.
- You guys are going? How?

High-school girls
can always get into parties.

We´re the reason
why they throw them.

So if you´ll excuse us,
we´re on the clock.

See you later.

Hold on.

Can I come with you guys?

It´s kind of
a girls´ thing, Ephram.

We´re gonna be trying on
clothes and stuff.

I love clothes.
I´m all about clothes.

It´s cool, right, Amy?

Sure.

Sure.

This thing you´re doing
with the stove

I´m not sure I understand.

I´m cooking for my children,
get over yourself.

- And pass me a pepper.
- But you don´t cook. Ever.

You don´t even reheat.

I admit I have been more of
a drive-through gal recently

but I kept a family of four fed
for two decades.

And if I recall correctly

my daughter was a big fan
of my chicken cacciatore.

Every time I see that girl,
she looks younger

and more full
of the stuff, you know?

God, the things
she has seen.

I keep telling her
she oughta write a book.

She´d have to sit still
long enough though.

- I don´t think she´d mind that.
- What do you mean?

It looks like
she could use a breather.

That´s how we all look
when we stop in

for a shower and a hot meal.

Don´t you think she seemed
kind of lonely?

No way. I raised her better
than that. Linda´s strong.

Oh, so making a home is only
for the weak? You did it.

Well, I had her life
and I gave it up.

Linda knows better
than to make that mistake.

Is that what family
is to you, a mistake?

Oh, don´t get all sensitive,
Harper. You know what I mean.

No, I´m not sure I do.

I wasn´t born in a time where
a woman had much of an option

but to tie herself down.

If I hadn´t had a family
weighing me down then

I don´t know what I´d have done.

Don´t assume she´s unhappy if
she doesn´t have what we have.

There´s no reason why a woman
can´t be perfectly happy alone.

It´s never too late to find out.

(Andrew)
´Look, I know this must
all seem unreal.´

´I was stunned myself when I
realized what was going on´

´which is why I brought you
in together.´

´I thought that maybe..

...we could help each other
to understand.

Oh, I understand.
I wanna know who said it.

What kid is spreading
these lies about our children?

I didn´t wanna
believe it either.

But this child
is telling the truth.

I didn´t ask if you believe him.

I said, "Who is it?" I wanna
confront this kid, talk to him.

It was that Travis kid,
wasn´t it?

Blame isn´t what
we should focus on.

What´s important is
that we get your kids healthy.

What I´d like to do is to have
you all schedule appointments

with Edna as soon as possible
for the kids to come for tests.

Are you out of your mind?

This kid spins
this incredible yarn

and you buy it
hook, line, and sinker.

Then you drag us here, waste our
time with this nonsense.

And now, now you want us
to drag our kids into this?

You don´t realize this kid has
a history of erratic behavior.

My sister was a nurse
at his last school.

I know for a fact
that he saw a counselor.

I think you owe everyone
an apology.

I´m not gonna apologize for
showing genuine concern

for your children´s welfare.

Fine. But I´ll tell you this.

It´s the last time
that we walk through that door.

I knew we shouldn´t
have said anything.

This is gonna be
terrible for him.

Why didn´t you tell me that
Travis had been in counseling?

He saw a counselor
after his father left.

He was acting out, pushing other
kids. Nothing like this.

Well, it did kind of put me
in an awkward position here.

Look..

...my kid has had
his share of problems.

His dad left us when he was 8.

But he´s not a liar.

I kind of wish he was.

- I´ll go get the stuff.
- Cool.

You guys do this often?

Oh, it´s just
for this party tonight.

Amy needs a test run before we
put her out in the field.

I usually do 2 percent
with my corn flakes.

So college guys tend to favor
the plastic-handle special

but my dad´s stock
of good stuff will have to do.

Are you in?

I try not to drink
before fifth period.

Besides, isn´t everybody
gonna smell it on you?

Not vodka.

And not if you eat
peanut butter afterwards.

It´s an old
boarding-school trick.

(Amy)
´Okay.´

Okay, so, what should
I expect here?

Kind of like
a burning medicine.

Real smooth.

´Cheers.´

That tastes like orange juice
in a gas can.

´Don´t make that face
afterwards.´

´Remember, this is about
technique.´

Nice.

- We´re all so proud.
- Come on.

´I hate to miss the fashion
portion, but I gotta get going.´

- You gonna be alright?
- Yeah. I´m fine.

We´re just screwing around,
Ephram. Don´t tell anyone, okay?

We´re fine.

- This rice pilaf is excellent.
- Thank you.

- Would you please pass the--
- Shove it.

I´ve never seen you cook
so elaborately. So many courses.

She pulls out the stops
for Indiana Jones.

Any chance on
a closed-mouth chewing?

Don´t you have
a plane ticket to buy?

You know, Edna considers
domesticity a sign of weakness.

I consider not clocking you on
your ass a sign of charity.

- Bring it on, pumpkin butt.
- That´s enough.

- Before you spill blood--
- ´You have an opinion on this?´

Wait, everyone, stop
what you´re doing.

The one who´s here 5 minutes in
a decade has something to say.

And I´m sure it´s just chock
full of ancient tribal wisdom.

Do you want me
to leave that badly?

- You always do.
- Oh, junior. Put a sock in it.

You´re jealous because she´s the
only one here who´s got a life.

A life? No, she´s got
a rucksack.

Well, that rucksack
is a source of pride to me.

Don´t talk down her
accomplishments. If it weren´t-

You would what? Die of boredom?

Harper, why are you
even talking?

- If it weren´t for her, what?
- ´Listen, stop for a second.´

Will you stop for a second?
Wait. Hello.

What I´m trying to tell you is
that I´m not going anywhere.

I came back to stay.

- Where?
- Here. Everwood.

I wanna move back home
and join the practice.

- My practice?
- Our practice.

- Our practice?
- Well, the family practice.

I came back because I wanna be
a part of this family again.

You wanna give up your freedom
for this flyspeck on a road map?

What´d you wanna do that for?
That´s not who you are.

I´m tired of who I am, mom.

I´m tired of living my life
out of a backpack.

I´ve seen everything
I need to see.

What I haven´t seen is family.

It´s Bright growing up
and Amy becoming a teenager

becoming interested in boys.

You and Irv making
a life for yourself.

´And Rose and Harry
growing older together.´

´And I´ve just been
without roots for too long.´

What I really need is a home.

I just need to come home.

What do you say, Harry?

You wanna be a part
of our family

You don´t wanna miss out.

You already did.

Bright grew up. Amy got
interested in boys long ago.

We´ve all made new lives
and gotten older.

And you missed
the whole damn thing.

And now you wanna cash in
without having earned it.

Over my dead body.

You left us, we left you.

Go find your center
somewhere else.

Thank you, mother,
for a lovely, wonderful meal.

[knock on door]

Come in.

You´re getting better
at that.

I practice when
you´re not home.

´I´m taking Delia
over to Nina´s.´

- A play date?
- Actually, I´ve got this case.

Nina knows the patient

and there´s a confidentiality
issue so..

What, issues like
you wanna tell somebody?

Yeah, sort of.

Have you ever done that before?
Broken confidentiality?

Never without good reason.

But maybe if the person
was in danger?

Exactly. If the person was a
danger to themselves or others.

Is that the only time? I mean,
what if something bad

could happen to somebody if you
don´t say anything

but you don´t know for sure.
I mean, if it´s just a hunch.

Any chance you wanna tell me
what this question is about?

Whose trust
you might be breaking?

Not really.

Okay. Bottom line,
if you´re not a doctor

and the confidentiality is
really just an understanding and

you have information that might
help someone if you reveal it..

...then I think you have
an obligation to do that.

That´s what I figured.

That was fatherly advice.
How was it?

Not bad.

See, I really
am getting better.

Hey, dad, one more thing.

Can I go to
a frat party tonight?

A frat party?

Yes. There´s gonna be drinking,
drugs, unprotected sex.

I´ll probably be
the youngest person there.

- I don´t wanna go, I have to.
- Why?

Because you just said
if I know something..

...I have to do
something about it.

So having said that, I´m forced
to let you go to a party

that I never would´ve
agreed to prior.

Maybe you´re
getting better at this.

Did we have a date tonight?

I told you I wouldn´t watch
your sister, but I did. Kinda.

She´s at this ECC Bite the Bone
party with Laynie.

My sister´s at the most twisted
party of the year?

They hand out vouchers to kids
to trade in for date-rape pills.

- My sister doesn´t even drink.
- Well, she does now.

Grab your keys.

(Andrew)
´These parents know this kid´s
telling the truth.´

´They have to.´

But they just flat-out denied
it. They called him a liar.

Which gives me
no recourse whatsoever.

I can´t get these kids tested
against their will

if the parents
are saying no.

And I can´t talk to them
about protection or counseling.

The parents say
there´s no need.

´I mean, they couldn´t bury
this fast enough.´

´Bunch of cowards.´

Any thoughts?

Did you hear me or are you too
deep into wrenches and spokes?

- No, I heard you.
- And?

Well, I guess...I understand
why parents would wanna hide

a secret like that.

Even though you´re bound
not to tell anyone

they know that somehow
it´ll get out.

Their lives and kids´ lives
will be changed.

Changed how? No one´s gonna be
calling the Enquirer.

See, where you come from,
anonymity exists. But not here.

Everything comes out in the wash
and people will talk.

And if I was their parent..

...no way I´d tell.

Well, I gotta admit,
I´m kind of surprised

that you´re taking
their side in this.

Well, given the last few months

I´m a little surprised
you´re not.

Just thinking about it and
putting myself in their shoes

it´s what I think I would do.

And what are they
teaching those kids?

I guess they´re teaching them
how to survive in a small town.

- ´Nina, are you home? Nina?´
- What is it?

Oh, no.

Mother, as if that fiasco of
a dinner wasn´t torture enough.

Why do I find myself
meeting you here

in this sinkhole
in the middle of the night?

We´ve got something
we´ve gotta talk about.

Oh, and what are you,
Deep Throat?

Milk. Two percent.

Get him a Jim Beam,
straight up.

That was quite a pyrotechnics
display you put on tonight.

It was my fault. God forbid
anything should ever be

Linda´s fault or your fault.

Didn´t see you waving
the white flag for peace.

You and your sister have fought
like cats and dogs

for years
and it´s gone too far.

- I´m not gonna stay here.
- Because it´s not your fault.

And it´s not Linda´s.
It´s mine.

Don´t make your sister
the villain.

All she did was follow
in my footsteps.

I´m the one who left you kids.
It shaped both of you.

She´s an adventurer,
always will be.

Just like you´re the guy
who will always stay

out of fear,
out of obligation.

Mother, the hour is late.
I´m in no mood.

Don´t have patience to tolerate
your dime-store analysis.

Well, can you tolerate
an apology?

Because I am sorry, Junior.

You see, I had..
Have certain limitations.

You might say motherhood
did not come real natural to me.

Your father knew that when he
married me. He understood.

Well, he wasn´t your child.

You know, I can forgive all of
the burned cheese sandwiches

the forgotten school holidays,
the bad Halloween costumes.

Hell, I can even forgive
the birthday

that you
forgot last year.

But why did you leave?

I still remember that moment,
tears streaming down my face.

If I could have, I would have
run after that train.

And the three years you were
absent? Those were pleasant.

I got to raise a sister while
you hid in a foreign country

under the guise
of patriotic duty.

You know, that isn´t
a limitation, mother.

That is abandonment.

I didn´t know any better.

By the time I did,
it was too late.

Don´t let Linda make
the same mistake.

Your sister wants
to come home.

Please..

...let her.

One of the boys asked him
to come over.

He promised Travis
they weren´t mad

and then they did this to him.

Because I lied,
everything I said was a lie.

None of it happened.

I was just making up a story.

Look, I´m sorry, Travis.
I´m sorry they did this to you.

I know you weren´t lying to me,
and this only proves it.

I don´t know those people.
They aren´t my friends.

Look, I understand.
Those kids beat you up

and you´re afraid
that they´ll do it again.

´I´m sorry you had to go through
this. I feel responsible.´

But it doesn´t change the fact
you´ve gotta tell the truth.

Why?

Because what happened
in those woods

never should have happened.

And although they
may not seem it

those kids are as scared
as you are about it.

You were brave
to tell me the truth.

But I need you to keep on
telling it so I can help them.

I don´t want to be brave.

I know.

But I need you to be.

[upbeat music]

Look.

Oh, what the hell?

- Hello? Manners.
- What´re you doing here?

What´re you doing here?

I was having a good time
until you arrived.

Following me or something?

I think somebody else
is following you.

I guess I know what your
promises are worth now.

- I was worried about you.
- I don´t need you to worry.

- He didn´t wanna tell me.
- Then why did he?

He was afraid
you´d do something stupid

which, by the way, you are.
You should thank him.

´Cause if dad found out, you´d
be, like, grounded forever.

Thanks, but I´ve got
it under control.

You can just leave
because nobody wants you here.

What´s going on here?

These guys hassling you?

- Let´s go, Amy.
- Bright.

Hey, bro, I think the lady
wants you to leave.

Hey, bro, I think
the lady´s, like, 15.

Alright. Alright, okay.

´I can´t believe you, Amy.´

Pretending to be in college
to impress some frat dicks?

You think Colin would wanna
see you like this?

Being a total drunk slut
at some party?

Well, at least I wasn´t
drinking and driving.

- What is that supposed to mean?
- You know what.

Colin would still be here
if not for you.

Maybe he´d still be here
if not for you.

If you wouldn´t have lied, he
might´ve been able to get help.

Since you covered for him
till he was dead--

That´s not true.

I know I´m not gonna lie
like that for you.

If you don´t come with us now,
I´m telling dad about tonight.

I´m not covering for you.

I don´t appreciate
being threatened, Dr. Brown.

I had no intention of
threatening you, Joe.

- The message was clear.
- ´The message was simple.´

If you don´t cooperate, I will
contact the Health Department.

You son of a bitch.
You can´t make us do this.

No, I can´t. But the Health
Department can. And they will.

It´s outrageous. Our kids were
not involved in any sex club.

Annie, your kids are having sex.

Travis told the truth about it,
they beat him up.

Either you´re refusing to see
that or you´re lying about it.

Either way, it is happening.

- I believe him.
- What? Come on.

My daughter stopped going
to her soccer games.

She won´t tell me why.

´She always tells me things.´

I want her to be tested.

But if we do this thing

if we admit to ourselves
and to you

that this nightmare
really happened

it can never leave
this room.

Can you promise me that, doctor?

Been up long?

A while.

- You didn´t need to do that.
- It´s okay.

I don´t mind.

Listen, last night..

...I may have said some things
I didn´t quite think through.

I don´t think so.

I think you said what you meant.

You just didn´t think too much
about me hearing them.

I was just trying to be honest.

I guess a little of that
goes a long way.

You know, Edna,
I had dreams too.

I didn´t come here
for my health.

I was just passing through

working on that essay
on the railroads for the summer.

I had a million stories to tell
and nothing tying me down.

And then one weekend
at this church picnic..

...somewhere in between
the pie-eating contest

and the sack races,
I heard this laugh.

This incredible, no-holds-barred
laugh like gravel on sandpaper.

I had no intention
to settle down.

But it hit me in
that moment that

that voice could be
opening the door

to an adventure as profound
as any I could ever have alone.

And I chose it. And so did you.

And now if you wanna pretend
that you were forced into it

well, it´s hurtful to me.

And it denigrates the life
we´ve built together.

Do you understand?

The deal I made was that as long
as they´d have the kids tested

I wouldn´t say anything to
anyone about the whole incident.

And just like that,
it´s dead and buried.

You know, they´re crazy if they
don´t think these kids

are gonna take a major
psychological hit from this.

If they´d been able to come out
in the open with it

just, say, once, to someone,
that this actually happened

I think they´d have
a real shot at healing.

So you would have wanted
to make the whole thing public?

Well, if those kids would have a
chance of getting better, sure.

I mean, so much of their life
is gonna be defined by this now.

By the things
they couldn´t talk about.

- Andy?
- Hm.

I haven´t been particularly
brave myself lately.

There´s something
I haven´t told you.

I haven´t told anyone.

Carl´s not just
on a business trip this time.

He left me.

- He left?
- He was having an affair.

Well, are you sure that it´s..

I mean..

...you know, marriages can
sometimes survive these things.

Yeah. Some marriages can

but I don´t think this
particular one will.

He wasn´t just having
an affair.

He was..

...having an affair with a man.

- Oh. Wow.
- Yeah.

I had a slightly
more pronounced reaction.

Yeah, I can imagine.

- How did you find out?
- He called here.

The man that he was with.

And after that,
I told Carl to leave

and he did
and he never came back.

That was five months ago.

He sends a check every month
with a note for Sam.

But we haven´t spoken.

Why did you never..

Why didn´t you tell me
about this?

I wish you would have,
I mean..

...instead of keeping it
to yourself all this time.

Well, you haven´t had
the easiest summer yourself.

Think I had this idea
that if no one else knew

it would be like
the whole thing never happened.

But when I think about the whole
town knowing about this

about Sam finding out, other
kids knowing, his teacher--

You don´t have to tell
the whole town about this.

Now who´s counseling
keeping secrets?

You told me. And it´s real.

You´ll tell people
when you´re ready.

When this doesn´t hurt
so much anymore.

And when will that be?

You guys going to lunch?

We´re going to Sal´s, if you
wanna follow us. Come on, Amy.

- See you later, Ephram.
- Yeah. I´ll see you in fifth?

Yeah.

Hey, man.

- Those guys going off campus?
- Yeah.

- ´Probably cutting again.´
- Probably.

Listen, last night, uh..

...that, uh, that
was cool the way you, uh..

How-how you, uh..

Eloquence, not your thing.

- But you know what I mean.
- Did you see those guys?

- They were pretty big.
- Yeah. But you were chill, man.

You were, like,
Vin Diesel Chill.

I was just imagining
what Tetsuo would do.

- Right.
- He´s a manga hero.

Isn´t that that comic book that
people who don´t get sex read?

Basically. Yeah.

So you wanna get lunch?

- Sure. Yeah.
- You know what I was thinking?

If there´s college guys that are
hitting on high-school girls

then there´s, like, a surplus
of neglected college girls

that wanna hit
on high-school guys.

I don´t think
it works like that.

...not to take that
on an empty stomach.

And I will see you
in six weeks.

- Excuse me? What are you--
- I´m unpacking, Harry.

You´re unpacking in my office.

Our office.

So you heard nothing of what I
was trying to communicate

to you last night.

Oh, I heard it.

And yet you seem not
to have truly assimilated it.

As your large third-world
tchotchke

is currently taking up
conspicuous room

on my spare desk.

Throw me outta this office, but
you can´t throw me outta town.

I´m staying. And I´m staying
in large part because of you.

´I want us to be
a family again.´

Not the kinda family
that you see every two years

to exchange bad gifts
but the kinda family

where you call up to borrow a
screwdriver. That´s what I want.

And I´m staying right here
in Everwood until I get it.

I suppose the spare income
wouldn´t hurt.

´We would have to go over
some ground rules first.´

I expected nothing less.

For example, tongue depressors.

They´re ordered bimonthly
to avoid shortage.

Keep a tab
with Louise.

Keep abreast
of tongue-depressor needs.

A cotton ball is not free.

It costs just like
any other office supply

despite its diminutive mass.

[train whistle blowing]

The train´s coming.

- Do you wanna go watch it?
- No.

If we jump on it, we could go
anywhere in the world.

We couldn´t.
That train´s bound for Denver.

And after Denver, it can only
travel the continental U.S.

There´s trains other places.

You can´t get there,
you´d have to cross water.

- You could fly.
- But not on a train.

Oh, come on.

♫ C´mon people now ♫

♫ Smile on your brother ♫

♫ Everybody get together ♫

♫ Try and love one another
right now ♫

♫ Right now ♫

♫ Right now ♫
