- [Mrs. Ulman's Companion]
I still don't understand

why I can't just smoke on the
front porch like I used to.

- [Mrs. Ulman] I told you,

I don't want Robbie
breathing in all that smoke.

It's not good for his little lungs.

Hello, Clare.

- Hello, Mrs. Ulman.

- Poor thing.

What a shame, what a shame.

She was such a cute little girl.

I remember her as a child
because my aunt (indistinct)...

(bell clanging)
(train rumbling)

(engine rumbling)

(keys jingling)

- Hey, Dave.
- What's up, man?

Oh, shit, man.

How's the leg?

- It's fine.

I'm still healing up.

- So, how was the flight?

- Long.

- Well, hey, look, grab your
bag, put it in the back.

I got some beer in the fridge.

You hungry? You wanna grab a pizza?

- Yeah, a little.

- [Dave] All hail the conquering hero.

(somber music)

(phone ringing)

- [John] John, Clare and
Karen are out at the moment,

but if you leave a message,

we'll get back to you as
soon as we can, right Karen?

- [Karen] Yeah, Mommy will call you back!

(phone beeps)
(music continues)

- [Chris] Clare, if you're there pick up.

Clare?
(Clare sighs)

Mom called again and
she's worried about you.

You need to call her.

Just let her know you're all right.

You need anything?

I gotta go but you have my cell if you-

(phone beeps)

(Clare sighs)
(music continues)

(lighter flicking)

(pensive music)

- Jesus.

(bottles clinking)
(music continues)

- That's a lot of booze.

(waves splashing)

- Who am I kidding, man?

I'm surprised she hasn't
dumped my ass already.

So, they let you in the
army with that beard?

- Oh, I did my rehab off base.

- You gonna talk about it?

- Talk about what?

- Fuckin' war, man.

I mean, you're done, right?

They can't send you back.

- Well, I gotta heal up and
then we'll see how it goes.

You know?

(Dave's throat clears)

Throw me another beer.

- Yeah, sure.

- Thanks.

- So like, how'd you
get wounded, you know?

You were flyin', right?

- Yeah, I was flyin'.

Got a round in the calf,
blew out a chunk of muscle.

Had to put it down in
a pretty sketchy area

but the Marines were able to get us out,

and then I'm back here so that's about it.

- That's about it.

- So this girl, Jill, you like her, huh?

- Yeah, she's pretty great.

She likes to cook, so that's cool.

I just don't know about this movin'

in together shit, you know?

Women will change you.

So, hey man, you could stay here

as long as you want, you know?

I mean, most of the time
I'm over at Jill's anyway,

so I got a spare bedroom.

It's no problem.

- All right, thanks man.

It should only be a couple days, though.

I'm just looking for someplace
cheap to rent, you know?

I can use the quiet.

In the meantime, I just thought
I'd get a job, you know?

Somethin' to keep me busy.

- Well, hey, man, I mean,

I could hook you up with some work.

- Yeah, well, I was thinking about trying

a fishing boat for awhile.

- Fishing? Come on.

You don't want to do that shit,

especially with that wound of yours.

- Nah, I think I'd like it.

- You don't wanna be doin' that shit, man.

You should be flying

for like News Chopper 1
or some like you used to.

- No, man, no flyin' for me for awhile.

- Well, I don't wanna tell you what to do,

but my offer's open if
you change your mind.

- Thanks, man.

- Yeah, just fax it over.

Thank you.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Oh, you forgot, didn't you?

- Forgot what?

- We're having dinner tonight

with Councilman Shivers like now.

I'm trying to meet
- Oh, shit.

- that contract at the park.
- That's tonight?

Oh man, I forgot.

- Yeah.
- Tim, Jill.

Jill, Tim.

I gotta change.

- Hi, nice to finally meet you.

- Hey.

- And Dave talked you up quite a bit.

I feel like I know you already.

So, how long were you over there?

- Iraq?

About nine months.

- Yeah?

Dave, hurry up.

We're gonna be late.

- Does this match?

- Fine, just button it up, okay?

- Okay.

I guess I'll see you later.

He's gonna stay a couple of nights.

- Great.
- No big deal.

- Okay, we gotta go.

- Get your bag.

- (chuckles) Thank you.

Nice to meet you.
- Okay, let's go.

- Nice to meet you.

(music continues)

(waves splashing)
(music continues)

(seagulls squawking)

(door creaks)

- Jesus Christ, she's
gonna burn the house down.

Oh, you startled me.

- How did you get in here?

- I have a key, remember?

Not that it mattered, you
left the front door open.

Where have you been?

(door creaks)

- I was at the beach.

- You haven't returned
a phone call in a month.

Mom's goin' crazy wondering
what's going on with you.

Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

- Why don't you come in

and stay with us for a couple of days?

Trisha won't mind, and the
kids would love to see you.

- Thanks, but I don't think

your wife really wants to see me anyway.

- Sure she does.

- I said I'm fine.

- I don't know, Clare, from
the looks of this place,

you don't seem fine.

Listen, you have to call Mom

at least to get her off my back.

- I'll call her when I'm ready.

- Look, this is not healthy.

You have to move on.

You have to get back into the world.

You need a job.

You need to do something.

- Do I?

- It's been a long time.

- I know how long it's been.

You don't have to tell

me how long it's been.
- All right,

all right, calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down.

- All right.

I'm sorry.

(Chris sighs)

Mom needs to know if you're
coming to the memorial.

- I'm not going.

I'm not.

(seagulls squawking)

- I'm really sorry, I
couldn't find the keys

to one of the properties in
that mess we call an office.

My partner's been renovating her space,

and the place has been
a train wreck for days.

You ready?

My car's right over here.

(Tim groans)

(sighs) I'm so sorry.

It's just been a madhouse
around here this week.

So, you wanted to see
rentals on the beach, right?

- Yeah, something just small

and short term I guess
until the weather changes.

- The rental price changes.

It's rare we get people looking

for places on the beach this time of year.

It's so deserted up there right now.

Are you sure I couldn't show

you something closer to downtown?

You could be within walking distance

to the shops, the restaurants.

- No, I think the beach
would be just fine.

I'm just lookin' for some peace and quiet.

- Okay.

I guess I could see why you'd want that.

- Excuse me?

- You just getting back
from Iraq and all, it's...

- I'm sorry, how did
you know I was in Iraq?

- Oh gosh, you really
don't remember me, do you?

I was two years behind you in high school.

I dated Tony Albanese for a year.

You guys used to hang out (chuckles).

- Uh (chuckles)...

- (chuckles) Let's go.

(engine rumbling)

- I'm sorry, I'm just
not good at these things.

I barely remember what
Tony Albanese looked like

and he was a buddy.

Guess I sort of lost track of
everybody from high school.

- Well, Tony is almost entirely bald

and very overweight and recently divorced.

He tried to pick me up the
other night at The Arc.

It was very funny.

Anyway, here we are.

(engine rumbling)
(seagulls squawking)

(car doors slamming)

I have two properties here,
which might suit your needs.

- Great.

- Oh, like I said,

I hardly ever come up here in the winter.

Should have brought my
running shoes (chuckles).

- Looks like there's
signs of life here, huh?

- Huh (chuckles).

So, this place is cute
and very affordable.

It's weatherproofed and
the owner assures me

the heat works like a charm.

You'd have to be out
by April 15th, though.

Would that work for you?

- Sounds great, let's see it.

- The key should be
under the mat (chuckles).

- That's original.

(Heidi chuckles)

(seagulls squawking)

- I have to tell you the truth,

the other place I was gonna
show you is not as nice

and it's actually more
expensive (chuckles).

Well, is this what you're lookin' for?

- Actually, it might be just right.

- Well, I think I can have you in here

as early as the day after tomorrow.

How's that sound?

- That'd be good.

- Great.

Let me give you my card.

I'll put my home phone on the back

just in case you have any
other questions (chuckles).

Do you have any furniture?

- Not really, no.

- Okay.

Oh, can I give you a ride back into town?

- I think I'm actually
gonna walk on the beach.

- Okay (chuckles).

Well, I have your cell.

I'll call you when things get settled.

It was wonderful seeing you.

Call me if you need anything, okay?

- I will.
- Call me.

Don't forget, call me for anything.

- Okay.

(melancholy somber music)

(music continues)

- You don't got much stuff, bro.

- I don't need much stuff.

- Hey Dave, get up and help.

This stuff is filthy.

- Don't start with the
cleaning, all right?

Gotta take a leak.

Hey, have you seen your
dad since you came back?

- No.

In a couple of days maybe.

- What do you mean, "In
a couple days maybe?"

Oh, shit.

Well, do you want me to go
with you when you do go?

- No, it's all right.

- Where's your father live, Tim?

- [Tim] He's in a rest home.

- He has Alzheimer's.

- Helicopter as shot down in-
- Sorry to hear that.

- U.S. military-
- It's all right.

- [News Anchor] Placed
the initial death toll

at 15 American troops.

Witnesses report seeing a
shoulder type missile strike

the helicopter just before
it crashed into a field

at approximately eight a.m. Baghdad time.

- Lucky you're here and not there, bro.

- [News Anchor] Sunday,
the U.S. military patrol

was attacked by Iraqis throwing grenades

in the avenue grave market
area west of Baghdad,

the same area where U.S.
troops killed 14 Iraqis Friday

after they were attacked with
grenades with small arms fire.

(soft melancholy music)

(music continues)

(phone ringing)
(music continues)

- Hello?

- [Heidi] Hi, is this Tim?

- This is him.

- [Heidi] Hey, it's Heidi.

Heidi Lipton.

- Oh, hey, Heidi, how are ya?

- Great.

I'm really good.

So, I'm just checkin' in,

makin' sure you got settled all right

and you know, just following up.

- Yeah, yeah.

I'm pretty much unpacked
and the place seems fine.

- Ah, that's great.

I'm really glad to hear it.

So, I was just wondering,

I mean, I know you're probably busy

and you already have plans,

but I was just wondering
if you weren't busy,

if you would wanna come
out tonight with me

and a couple of friends 'cause
we were gonna go to The Arc

and have a few drinks and
just, you know, hang out.

But if you're busy, it's
not a problem, really.

I'm sure you're tired or
maybe you already have plans.

It's not a big deal.

I just thought you thought...

You know, I just thought
if you weren't doing any-

No, no, that sounds great.

Where'd you say it was again?

- The Arc.

Oh, I forgot, you don't have a car.

- Well, that's okay, I'll just walk.

- [Heidi] No, no, no,
no, I'll pick you up.

- Okay.

- Okay, so nine?

- Sure.
- Okay, I'll see you then.

Bye.

- [Tim] Bye.

(Heidi squeals)

(gentle music)
(car rumbling)

(TV chattering faintly)

(Heidi knocking)

- Hey.

- Hey.

You look nice.

- Thanks!

So do you.

Shall we (chuckles)?

- Yeah.

(door closes)
(music continues)

- [TV Character] I'm home!

(TV audience laughs)

(engine rumbling)
(somber music)

(TV character speaking indistinctly)

(pills rattling)

(music continues)
(water splashing)

(water running)
(music fades)

(cabinet door slams)
(Clare inhales)

- And I was just like, whatever, you know?

And I told him I had to move on.

I mean, he was nice and all,

but I just couldn't see myself married

and with child to him.

I mean, he had issues.

I could tell you some of the stories.

- You have told me some stories.

- Oh, God.

I know.

I just start yakking
away when I've had a few.

- Hm.
- I'm sorry.

It's just such a really
good listener (chuckles).

How 'bout one more shot?

What do you say?

- Just one more or we'll
both be walkin' home.

- I never drink more than I can handle.

Seriously.

I'm being serious here.

So, this is the part where I'm supposed

to ask you to tell me your
entire life story, right?

- Well, I'd much rather hear your stories.

- No, that's not fair, you
have to talk too (giggles).

Thanks.

(Heidi's tongue clicking)

Down the hatch.

(Tim's throat clears)

(Heidi groans)

So, I wanna know how you
came to fly helicopters.

And I wanna know what really
happened over there in Iraq.

You know, it's not every day a girl

gets to go out with a war hero.

- I'm not a war hero.

- You're just being modest.

(Heidi inhales)

(Heidi groans)

So, how did you come to fly helicopters?

- Well, after I graduated high school,

I went to junior college for two years.

That wasn't really goin' anywhere

so I decided to join the Army.

- And then what?

- Then I moved to New York,

got a job flying high rollers
down to Atlantic City.

Then I got a job for News Chopper 5

and that was really cool.

That was interesting for
the most part, you know?

Except for traffic detail.

- I heard you did that.

I used to watch Channel 5

just to see if I could see you (giggles).

- That was my last job
before I reenlisted.

- What made you go back to the Army?

- I had a friend who died in Tower One.

We were once friends,

but we had lost touch over the years.

- I'm sorry.

It was such an awful day.

- Yeah, it was.

- So, you gonna tell me how
you got hurt over there?

- You know what?

Why don't we save that for another time?

- Sorry, I pry too much (chuckles).

- You know what? It's gettin' late.

Maybe we should call it a night.

Maybe I should drive.

- You don't trust me?

- I'm gonna go pick up the tab.

(engine rumbling)

(Heidi chuckling)

So, you think you'll be all right to,

you know, drive the rest of the way home?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I'm fine, I just...

I really have to go to
the bathroom, though.

Can I just run in like for
two seconds and then...

- Yeah, sure, yeah.

- Are you sure?

Are you sure you're-
- Yeah, no problem.

No problem.

- Okay, cool.

I'll just be like two seconds (sniffs).

(waves splashing)

(brakes squealing)

(car doors slamming)

I'll just be a second.
- All right (chuckles).

(Tim sighs)
(water splashing)

(soft music)

(chair scrapes)

(music continues)

- Hey, do you mind if I
hang out here a little bit?

I think I'm still a little drunk (laughs).

- Yeah, no problem.

(Heidi giggles)

Too bad about your friends
not showing up tonight.

- Oh, yeah (chuckles).

Actually, I didn't have any
plans with any friends tonight.

It was just a little white lie.

- Really?

- Really (laughs).

- Ow (winces)!
- Oh, sorry.

(Heidi chuckles)

(gentle music)

(music continues)

(music fades)
(waves splashing)

(soft music)

(pensive music)
(waves splashing)

(music continues)

(Tim groans)

Good morning.

Hope you don't mind me
helping myself to some coffee.

- Can I get some?
- Mm hm.

I thought I'd be outta
here before you woke up.

I gotta run home and get
it together for work.

- You can shower here if you want.

- Oh, thanks, but I gotta
pick up some papers anyway.

I want you to know, I had a
wonderful evening last night.

- I enjoyed it, too (chuckles).

(Heidi chuckles)

- Oh, God.

My head (groans), too
much tequila (chuckles).

Can I call you later, is that okay?

- [Tim] Sure.

- That's funny.

I saw that woman go out in the middle

of the night last night.

Do you know her?

- No.
- Hm, weird.

Well, I'll call you later, okay?

- [Tim] Okay.

- Bye (chuckles).

(light music)
(seagulls squawking)

(music continues)
(machinery whirring)

- Ah, man, it's fuckin' cold out here.

So, where the fuck were
you the other night, man?

I wanted to see if you
wanted to get a beer.

- I was out gettin' a beer with a friend.

- As far as I know,

I'm the only friend you have
in this town, so who was it?

- My realtor, Heidi.

We just went out and had a couple drinks.

- Couple drinks with your realtor?

Thinkin' about buying
some land or something?

- We had a good time.

- You okay man, for money?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I still get my disability check, so.

- So, how's the job hunt goin'?

- Most of the guys said
they just let people go.

Guess the fishing business
isn't what it used to be, huh?

- Lately, nothin' around
here is what it used to be.

Four or five years ago,
I had so much work,

I could turn it away.

Hired a couple guys part-time,

got some mowers, some other shit.

Now it's all just sitting in my garage.

It's getting harder to make a
living, you know what I mean?

- I was just looking for
something to do though,

you know, past the time.

- So, what are you gonna do?

- I guess I'll just heal up

and wait until I get called up to go back.

(soft music)
(seagulls squawking)

(Heidi speaking indistinctly)

(melancholy music)

(shower water splashing)
(music continues)

(music continues)

(keys thudding)

(shower water stops)
(music continues)

(Heidi sighs)

You hungry?

Wanna grab something to eat?

- Five minutes.

(music continues)

- (sighs) Your brother mentioned something

about you wanting to sell the house.

Why would you even think of doing that?

- I told him I'd give him the house.

He can have it.

- It's your home, Clare.

- Not anymore, he can have it.

- You have to start being
reasonable about these things.

You can't sell your house

and live in that silly cottage

for the rest of your life.
- Can we please

not talk about the house now?

(Constance sighs)

(cup clattering)

- Clare, I want to talk
about the memorial service.

- Mother, why do you need me to be there?

This is your idea.

I never wanted this.

I never once wanted this.

Why can't you just leave me out of it?

- You need to be there
to honor their memories.

- Honor their memories?

Oh, that is so you, Mother.

Everything is so simple if
you just do what's expected,

what you're supposed to do.
- That's not fair.

- [Clare] I never wanted this,
I never once wanted this.

- All right, enough (sighs).

(patrons chattering)
(cutlery clinking)

- If I go,

if I go, I'm not going to some luncheon

or brunch or something
where I have to sit around

and talk to people, do you understand?

- As long as you come,
it will be good for you

to be with family and friends.

(bell tolling)

- [Father Sudlik] And so, let us pray

for the souls of John and Karen.

May they know the peace of the Lord

and reside with him in a better place.

A place where we all will once
again meet in Christ's love.

Amen.

- [Mourners] Amen.

- And friends, I would also ask

that you keep in your
prayers are troops overseas

in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thank you, and God bless.

That concludes today's service.

(light organ music playing)

Constance would like to invite you all

to join us over at Dooly's
for refreshments and dinner.

- Thank you so much.
- You're very welcome.

Clare, come talk to Father Sudlik.

(pensive music)

- Nice to see you again.

Nice baptism.
- Yes, thank you.

- [Constance] Come.

(music continues)

- Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Listen, you gotta get outta those clothes

or you're gonna catch pneumonia, okay?

Can you get up (panting)?

Listen, we gotta get you
into a hot shower, okay?

Let me see this cut.

Oh, okay.

Do you have any bandages?

Any disinfectant?

Okay.

Here we go.

Lemme see that.

Here you go.

Oh!
(Clare winces)

Okay.

Here you go.

We'll just put this on there.

All right, press that down, okay?

All right, there we go.

- We gotta get you up
and into the shower now.

Come on.

(Tim grunts)

Come on.

Okay.

Here, let me get this goin' for you.

(water splashing)

Okay?

All right, I'm gonna go
back and get changed now.

Is there somebody I can call for you?

No?

Should I call an ambulance?

Listen, I'll be back in
about 10 minutes, okay?

All right?

You need to get in the
shower now, all right?

All right.

(thunder rumbling)
(rain pattering)

(gentle music)

(Tim knocks)

(Tim sighs)

How you feelin', better?

- I'm fine.

- You sure?

I'm Tim.

- I'm Clare.

- I noticed the door was broken.

I can fix that tomorrow.

- I'm all right now.

(somber music)

- It's rainin' hard.

Come check back in with you tomorrow.

(table scraping)

(door creaks)

Good morning, how you feelin'?

- Hello, good morning.

- Well, I just thought I'd come
by and fix the lock for ya.

- You don't have to do that.

I can get someone else to do that.

- [Tim] No, it's no big deal.

- You've really done too much already.

- Just let me fix it and
I'll leave you alone.

- Well, thank you.

You're very kind.

(doorknob rattling)

I'll make some coffee.

Would you want some?

- Yeah, that'd be great.

(water splashing)

(coffee splashing)

(door creaks)

All done over here.

- Have a seat.

How do you like your coffee?

- Black, please.

(Tim sighs)

- Thank you so much for doing that.

You've been a great help.

- Yeah, don't worry about it.

- Your name is Tim?

- Tim Lawson.

(Clare inhales shakily)

- Um...

I just want to apologize about last night,

and to thank you.

Um, I'm sorry that you got wet.

I just wanna say that.

I just want to thank you.

You were very kind.

It's just I take medication

and sometimes it makes
me a little confused

and I think I had too much
to drink and I just...

- Good coffee.

(Clare chuckles)

- Thanks.

So, you live next door?

- Yeah, I moved in a few weeks ago.

- Are you staying long?

- I'm not sure.

- What do you do?

I mean, for a living?

- I'm a helicopter pilot for the Army.

- Is that how you hurt your leg?

- Yeah.
(mug thuds)

Thanks, for the coffee.

I got some things I gotta do.

- You're welcome.

(door closes)

Bye.

(seagulls squawking)
(waves splashing)

- [News Anchor] Military authorities

are reporting three
Iraqi civilian casualties

and unsubstantiated reports

of two American soldiers
sustaining minor injuries.

(radio turns off)

(toilet flushing)

- Did you go swimming in
your clothes last night?

Those jeans hangin' in the
bathroom smell like a tackle box.

- I had a little incident last night.

- (chuckles) What kinda incident?

- Pulled the woman

that lives next door outta the ocean.

Got a little wet.

- Okay (chuckles).

What was the woman next
door doing in the water?

- I don't know.

- They don't really teach

you conversation skills
in the Army, do they?

- (sighs) She woke me up
in the middle of the night.

She was smashing stuff and yelling.

Next thing I know, I see her
walkin' down towards the beach.

- (chuckles) Okay.

- Followed her, I get down to the water

and I jumped in and brought
her back to her house.

Oh, she lives in that cottage.

Her name's Clare.

- Clare.

- She said she took some pills.

She was drinkin' or
something and got confused.

I don't know.

- Oh, the classy chick, the blonde.

Ah, she's pretty.

Booze and pills, though.

That's a bad combination (chuckles).

You know, I heard somethin' happened.

Somebody died or somethin', I don't know.

Jill knows her, though.

- Who died?

- I don't know.

I mean, all she told me is
that she's been livin' here

for like a year, like some kinda hermit.

So anyway, you doin' anything later?

You wanna watch some basketball?

Or you got some midnight
life guarding to do (smirks)?

- I got plans with Heidi.

- Ah, I see how it is.

You know, you keep blowin' me off

for hot sex with your realtor,
and I might get offended.

All right, man.

Oh, if your hot realtor has any tips

on some landscaping gigs,

you know, work is slow.

I'll see you later, bud.

- All right, Dave.

(soft reflective music)
(seagulls squawking)

(Tim groaning)
(music continues)

(music fades)

(bugs chirping)

- Tim?

- Yeah?

- (chuckles) I don't wanna pry,

I know you don't like
talking about yourself,

but can I ask you a question?

- What about?

- Are they gonna send you back

to Iraq when your leg gets better?

- I don't know, probably.

- Can they do that, make you go back?

- Yes, they can.

- Do you want to?

- No.

- When will you know?

- Next week.

I gotta go back for my checkup.

It's not up to me.

(Heidi chuckles)

- I wish it was up to me.

- I gotta go.

- Why, what's wrong?

Did I say something wrong?

- No, it's not you.

I...

- Tim, whatever it is,
please just tell me.

Don't leave.

- I'm sorry.

I'll call you tomorrow.

- You don't have a car, remember?

I picked you up.
- I can walk.

- Don't be ridiculous.

I'll get my coat.

(waves splashing)

(engine rumbling)

I'm sorry if I upset you.

I'm just...

I'm worried about you.

- Heidi, I'm okay.

I'm all right.

I'm just tired.

I'm sorry I ruined your meal.

(brakes squealing)

(waves splashing)

Hello?

- Oh, hello.

- [Tim] Mind if I sit?

- Okay.

- How's that cut?

- It's fine.

You're not thinkin' of goin' near

that water again tonight, I hope?

Because this is a new shirt.

(Clare chuckles)
(waves splashing)

- What's it like?

- What?

- The war.

- It's not good.

- Did you know people who died?

- Yes.

- Did you have to kill anyone?

- Yeah.

- No one should have to
do a thing like that.

(soft reflective music)

(engine rumbling)

(soft music)

- I think we should go with him.

- I think we should stay right here.

(music continues)

- Hey, Dad.

(Tim sighs)

(nurses chattering)

I'm back.

I was in Iraq, but I'm back now.

I got shot, got hit in the leg.

I'm fine, though.

Nothin' to worry about.

I just wanted to come and see you

and tell you about what
happened over there.

I had to do some things over
there that I'm not proud of.

You know, you try and
only shoot the bad guys,

but you try not to hit the civilians,

but you can't tell who's
shootin' at you, you know?

And then (sighs), I don't know.

I just, I don't get it.

I can't get a grip on it.

I can't get it out of my head

that maybe I shot somebody
who wasn't tryin' to shoot me.

Somebody just tryin' to get home.

They're gonna send me back, I think.

I gotta tell you, Dad, I
don't think I can handle it.

I don't think I can go back there

and go through that again and...

You know, I just don't
believe in the war anymore.

I just don't believe in it.

(engine rumbling)
(soft music)

(waves splashing)

- How many are there of you?
- Oh, there's about 40.

- How many?
- 40.

- In the bus?
- Flash floods...

(Tim panting)

- Hello, Tim?

You left this at my house.

I thought I better bring it back.

Thanks for fixing the door.

I really appreciate it.

If I could ever be of any
help to you, let me know.

- Thanks.

Listen-
- Yeah?

- Do you want to come
inside and have some coffee?

- Okay.

(waves splashing)

Did you take this picture?

- How'd you know?

- You're not in it.

- Oh (chuckles).

Yeah, it's a couple of my
buddies who are still over there.

- Thanks.

Is that woman your girlfriend?

I saw you with her.

- Who? Oh, Heidi.

No, she's my realtor.

I mean, we went out a few times.

She's very nice.

Can I ask you a question?

- Okay.

- What happened on the
beach the other night?

- I told you.

Do you have anything else to drink?

(bugs chirping)

(waves splashing)
(somber music)

(music continues)

- Hey.

You all right?

Tomorrow I have to go
to see the Army docs.

Check if my leg is healed.

See if they can send me back.

I don't want to go back.

I don't wanna do that anymore.

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music fades)

(seagulls squawking)
(waves splashing)

- I have to go.

(boat horn blaring)

(Dave grunting)

(engine sputtering)

- Damn it.

God damn it, not today
you fuckin' mother fucker.

Fuckin'...

Fuck.

Shit.

(Dave sighs)

(line trilling)

Hey man, it's me.

Look, my God damn truck won't start.

You got a way to get
to the fort without me?

- Yeah, I'll figure somethin' out.

- Don't worry about it.

Thanks for the offer, though.

- And wait, don't you gotta leave

me hangin' at this party, all right?

I need you there.

I don't wanna be stuck with all of Jill

and her lawyer friends.

All right?

- Don't worry about it, man.

I'll talk to you later.

- All right, man, later.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

Hello?

- Hey.
- Good morning.

How are you?

- I'm fine.

Where you goin'?

- Fort Monmouth.

There's an army hospital there.

I'm gonna go grab the bus.

- Oh, I'll drive you, hold on a minute.

- Wait, you don't have
to do that, that's...

(engine rumbling)
(soft music)

(anticipatory music)

(music continues)

(sighs) Looks like I heal real fast.

- It'll be all right.

Come on, let's take a ride.

(seagulls squawking)

(boat horn blaring)

It's not too cold?

- No, it's all right.

It's a beautiful view.

- I know.

I used to come here all
the time when I was a kid.

(gentle music)

(music continues)

- [Al] Hello, Al here.

- [Tim] Hey Al, it's Tim.

- [Al] Hey, kid.

How you doin'?

I've been wondering when you'd call.

How long you been back?

- A couple weeks now.

Just been layin' low, takin' it easy.

- [Al] That's good.

I got you a letter.

In the leg, huh?

You gettin' around, okay?

- Yeah, you know, I'm still healin' up.

- [Al] Listen, why don't you come

by tomorrow and take a ride?

- [Tim] I don't know, Al.

- [Al] Come by about three.

- All right, tomorrow then.

Bye.
- All right, bye.

- You ever been in a helicopter before?

- I don't like helicopters.

(engine rumbling)

- [Tim] You sure you don't want to go up?

- I'm sure.

- It shouldn't be that long.

It'll be half hour or so.

- Okay, I'll grab a coffee or something.

See ya.

- How you doin'?

- [Tim] How you doin', Al?

- I'm good.

(engine whirring)

Did you get your orders yet?

- Any day now, I guess.

- I went down seven times in
'Nam, 13 months I was there.

Four times bein' shot down,

three times due to mechanical failure.

And you always get back in.

It's just what you do.

It's our job.

You know, I saw my friends
die right in front of me,

just the same as you.

But you have to get back in the seat.

When I got hit, things changed.

You know, you think it's gonna happen,

but you don't expect it to happen.

It just happens.

But the most important thing
is to get right back up.

That's what we are here for.

It's what we do, it's our job.

- I don't know if I can do it, Al.

- Looks like you're doin' great there.

I think you'll be fine.

It's your choice.

It's your decision.

You'll make the right
one when the time comes.

All right, let's head back now.

- Clare?

- Yes?

- I want you to come with me

to this party my friend
Dave havin' on Friday.

- I don't think so.

- [Tim] Why not?

- I just don't like being around people.

- Well, neither do I,

but Dave's a good guy and I don't know,

I mean, it might be fun.

- Maybe.

- [Tim] Good.

Maybe is good.

- Let's go walk on the
beach, get some air?

- Okay.

(waves splashing)
(seagulls squawking)

(Tim's throat clears)

Clare?

Who died?

- I don't wanna talk about it.

- Tell me.

(Clare inhales sharply)

- I was married.

John, John O'Neill.

We had a daughter, Karen.

She was four years old.

About a year ago he was
taking her to my mother's.

We were gonna go on vacation,

just the two of us.

I can't even remember where.

He was crossing an
intersection and they were hit,

by some guy who was
driving home from work.

They were killed instantly.

That's what they told me.

Instantly.

I think they say that to everybody,

like it makes some sort of difference.

- That's horrible.

- (scoffs) Horrible?

That's too light a word.

I don't think there is a word for it.

I quit my job and I left the house.

I came here.

I didn't know what else to do.

I didn't know what to do.

My child is dead, my husband is dead.

And they all tell me to move on.

My mother, my brother.

"Get over it, get on with your life."

I don't have a life anymore.

They're gone, never coming back.

I don't have a life anymore.

They're gonna send you back, aren't they?

(water splashing)

Come here.

(gentle music)

Listen to me.

You're not going back.

We'll go away.

We'll go somewhere, someplace
they can't find you.

We could go away.

Just the two of us together,

so they can't make you go back.

- What are you talking about?

- We could go to Europe.

I have money.

It would be easy.

We could do it.

- Clare, I can't desert.

- We could go to Paris, or Dublin.

I have a friend there and
we could stay with her.

Just get away from here.

- I don't think I can do that.

- Listen to me.

This is not some fantasy.

This war is wrong.

We could do it.

A clean slate.

- I don't know, I-
- Do it for me.

(Clare moaning softly)

- I-

- Say you'll do it for me.

- Clare-

- We could travel around.

We could just wait out this war

and figure out the rest later.

You can't go back there.

- Okay.

Okay.

- You mean it?

- Yeah.

(gentle music)

- It will be good to get away from here.

Away from everything.

That's our deal.

You and me.

- I don't wanna lose you.

- That's our deal.

(music continues)

(Tim knocks)

Wow!

- What?

- You look good.

- So do you.

- Ah, you smell good too.

- You smell like tea cologne.

- Oh, God dang it.

You know, I knew I put
too much of that stuff on.

Can I wash some of it off?

I-
- No, no, I'm only kidding.

It's not that bad.

Let's just go.

(Tim sniffs)

(upbeat music)
(engine rumbling)

- We don't have to do
this if you don't want.

I mean, it's no big deal.

- No, I want to.

Let's go have some fun.

- All right.

(upbeat music)
(indistinct singing)

- Whoa, hey, don't make me spill this.

Hey, glad you made it, man.

- What's up, Dave?

- What's up, man?

Glad you made it.

Oh, hey, Jill, Tim's here.

Yeah, she must be in the
bathroom or somethin'.

- Dave, this is Clare O'Neill.

- Hey, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Tim's told me absolutely
nothing about you.

- Yeah, he's told me absolutely nothing

about you and me, so...

Hey, do you want a drink?

Beer, wine, some of this veggie dip?

- I'll have a glass of wine.

- You know what?

I'll go grab that I'll right back.

- [Dave] Lemme get you jacket.

- Nice place.

- Nice dress.

- Hey, you made it.

- Yeah, thanks for the invite.

Just grabbin' some wine.

- Take a couple glasses.

- Thank you.

- So, is that Clare O'Neil?

- Yeah, you know her?

- Just through work.

My firm's handling a sale
and property of hers.

I don't know her that well.

- So, I'm drivin' my mower
and I hit a rock and ping,

that thing shoots out and smashes

a stained glass window on the front porch.

- Glad to see you've
cleaned Dave up a bit.

Never thought I'd see him pass
around a vegetable platter.

- Yeah, he's my ongoing project.

I'll civilize him.

You better go back to Clare
before Dave bores her to death.

- Yeah, good call.

- You know how much it costs

to repair one of those kind of windows?

- Yeah.

- It's a crime.

You know, I should have gone

into stained glass a long time ago.

Oh, hey.

Hey, buddy, here.

Take a seat.

I'll put your coat in the bedroom.

- Was he all right?

- Mm hm, I'm fine.

Your friend is funny.

- I don't know how he met her.

It's all new to me.

Besides, what do you care?

- I don't care.

It's just confusing.

I thought he was seeing Heidi Lipton.

- So did I.

(light upbeat music)

(music continues)

(seagulls squawking)
(music continues)

(keys jingling)

(tense music)

(seagulls squawking)

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

- What are you lookin' at?

- The past.

We need to get those tickets.

There's something else I have to do, too.

- Okay.

- I'll run in and get them.

It won't take long.

(Tim's throat clears)

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Be right back.

(somber reflective music)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(waves splashing)
(anticipatory music)

(somber music)

You didn't look at the tickets.

I need to call my mother and my brother

and make arrangements about
the house and the cottage.

(music continues)

You're gonna lose your deposit.

Maybe your friend could
help you out with that.

- Oh, I knew I'd be leavin'.

It doesn't matter.

- Are you ready to do this?

- [Tim] I'm ready.

- It's the only way.

- I gotta make those calls.

- I'll be inside.

(music continues)

- My friend from college lives in Dublin.

I'm sure she would let us
stay with her for a few days,

at least until we get our bearings

and figure out what we're gonna do.

You'll love it there.

The people are wonderful

and the country is so pretty.

We could just rent a car
and drive around for awhile.

Just relax.

What do you think?

- That sounds great.

- Are you hungry?

- Yes, Ma'am.
- (chuckles) Good.

I saw Heidi today.

She saw us.

- Did she?

- (sighs) How's the pasta?

- It's good.

- (chuckles) Good.

Tim?

- Yes?

- I'm happy.

- Good.

(somber reflective music)
(seagulls squawking)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(pills rattling)
(music continues)

(toilet flushes)

(music continues)

- Why didn't you wake me up?

I wanted to cook you breakfast.

Well, come over here and
I'll make you something.

Okay, bye.

(music continues)

(waves splashing)

(Clare laughs)

Come in, it's open.
(Tim knocks)

You know, they say that
you can't ruin eggs,

but I think that I...

- I have to.

- You don't have to.

- I do.

- We had a deal.

- Don't you think I want to?

Do you understand how hard this is?

I can't run away anymore.

Just like you can't run.

- It's my job.

It's who I am.

- We had a deal.

- I'm sorry, Clare.

- No.

- Dave's here.

- He's gonna drive me to the train.

(Clare sobbing softly)

- I'm going with you.

- Clare-

- I said I'm going with
you to the train station.

- Okay.

- I'm gonna get my coat.

- Hey, you ready?

- Yeah, we're gonna make
a couple of stops first.

- Okay, let's go.

(somber music)

- I'll call you back.

Okay.

Great.

- I just wanted to say goodbye.

- Oh, God.

- Be careful.

- Bye.

(chair creaking)
(Heidi sighs)

(car doors slamming)
(music continues)

- Thanks.

- Take care of yourself, man.

- I will.

- Come back.

- I will.

(Clare inhales)
(somber music)

(music continues)

- I want you to try and be happy.

You need to be strong, Clare.

- I will.

(train bell ringing)
(music continues)

- I gotta go.

(anticipatory music)

That's our deal.

(train rumbling)
(music continues)

(somber music)

(music continues)

- Give me the keys.

(dogs barking)

Clare?

(gentle music)

(music continues)

(music fades)

(soft music)

(music continues)

(somber music)
