Hello.

My night is shining.

My beautiful princess.

I'm looking out the window.

Uh-huh.

How many?

Four.

I see four little angels.

I see them too.

Two boys, two girls.

Do you really, Art? Uh-huh.

When?

Whenever you want to leave.

Oh my god.

I love you.

I love you, I love you.

Where are we gonna go?

To that special place you told me about?

Where you'll be happy forever.

Nothing will ever disappoint you. Even me.

Lie back.

Close your eyes.

And listen to the rain.

Oh, God.

I'm gonna be able to sleep.

Okay. Okay.

Dream about your little angels Taking you away

Sleep well, my darling.

Damn, you scared the shit out of me.

I got you good, huh?

Come here.

It's good to see you. You too.

You look good.

Yeah, well, so do you.

I'm just gonna make myself a cup of tea. You want one?

Um, sure.

All right.

So how you doing?

I'm good.

I'm all right, whatever.

Up and down.

Hey.

Where you headed?

Just north of Seattle.

Hop in. It's been a long ride.

I could use the company.

Great, thanks.

I don't usually... I mean, I never really pick up hitchhikers.

A few people do. I've been looking so far.

I'm Mark Stoner.

Adam. You're up.

Good to know you, Adam.

So this is it, huh?

Yep. The penthouse.

When'd you sell the house?

I didn't. The bank took it.

Three months after you missed Dad's funeral.

You keep the boat?

Oh, yeah.

First thing you should have gone.

Yeah, right, and I wouldn't have had a job You wouldn't have a place to come to

Or sponsor I

Appreciate what you're doing

Actually, I've hitchhiked all over the world.

I wish I had enough for adventure.

Never have.

Worried beans.

Got them in Athens last year.

You worried?

No, I got the beans.

Here, I got more.

Hey, thanks.

Yeah.

Mind if I smoke?

How about... an apple instead?

The forbidden fruit, huh?

Yes, I suppose you could say that. I love them. Yeah, an apple would have

helped.

So what are you going to be doing in Seattle?

I'm going to be a consulate at a church camp.

I need to settle down a bit before I hit the road again.

You? I teach literature.

Any teaching time right now?

Yes, but I'm on sabbatical.

I'm going to write my first novel.

You should see this place where I'm going. One in a million.

Really? Yeah. At least for me.

Hey, Kate, how are you?

Hey, Tom.

Good to see you. Do you remember Mike?

Mike, good to see you again.

Hey.

Well, I'm going to let you two get to business.

I'll come by tomorrow, all right?

All righty.

Be good.

The judge felt that it would be more appropriate, you know, socially, if my

wife got sole custody of our son Alex.

I haven't seen him in two years.

No visitation rights.

Well, that ain't right.

Art? Uh-huh?

I'm glad we, you know, met.

Had a chance to talk.

I'm telling you that as a friend.

I feel the same way, Adam.

Hey, I'm just going to take a little look-see down there.

All right.

So it's not exactly rocket science, is it?

No.

Just the two rules, Mike.

That's what you keep your mind on.

Somebody's got to be here at night, because if there's trouble, that's when

it's going to be.

And you've got to keep the glass with the light clean from all the salt air.

All right.

Light breaks, what do you do?

Call you?

No, broken light, you call the Coast Guard.

Idiot tourist on the ground, you call the Coast Guard. Kids carrying on, you

call the police.

Roof starts leaking, that's when you call me.

All right.

Anyway, you got that other guy coming tomorrow, let him be the sergeant.

Sure.

Well, that's about it.

Except, good luck.

Thanks.

On mic.

I know you weren't at the funeral, but I'm sorry about your father.

He was a great guy, and we all miss him around here.

I just wanted you to know that.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Oh, come on.

You had me worried there, buddy.

Who was it that said the sea is the last free place on Earth? That Hemingway?

Yes. The sea and the forest.

How many people do you think go through life without seeing anything as

beautiful as this?

I... I don't really know how to take that.

Take it any way you want, Adam.

I'm not really good at this.

I know.

I never expected to meet someone like you.

Not on the road.

No one ever does, Adam.

No one ever does.

Here's your fish heads, Gertie.

Thanks.

How about an autograph, Mike?

Sure, yeah, I'll sign that and stick it right up your ass.

Buddy, though, we keep looking for your records, man. We can't find them.

Maybe because they're in the poker bin.

Yeah, maybe.

Hey! You thought we didn't want a proton.

You take it outside.

What kind of shit I had to do to get you this job?

I don't want the job. What?

Well, you're shoving me in a towel for six months. Would you rather go to jail?

Well, what's the difference, man? Just take me fishing with you. That's a job.

No, sorry. Season's almost over. You've got water phobia and you get sick on

boats, Mike.

No, man. I'll go fishing with you. I've changed.

Oh, changed?

You get a break and the first thing you do is find a way to screw it up. You

know that?

Now, you take this job and you shape up or you're out of here, man.

And I don't even want to talk about the drinking.

This wasn't... No, no, no.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for the Lighthouse Commission.

Oh, Tom Blanton. Yes, ma'am.

It's straight up the road about a half a mile over the hill on your right. The

Lighthouse is about five miles up the same road. Can't miss it.

Thank you. Appreciate it. You're welcome.

How's fishing?

Uh, it's good.

Hi. Hey.

I'm Adam. Adam Terrell.

Mike. Good to meet you, partner.

Tom Blanton said you'd show me around.

Well, ground floor, bedrooms are upstairs, lighthouse.

How long you been here?

Since yesterday.

How do you like it so far? I see you've taken great care of the place.

It's all right.

Well, you're quite the little gung-ho eager beaver, aren't you?

Okay,

son, some ground rules.

Obviously, I'm the senior guy here, but I think we can work as partners, okay?

Whatever.

Good.

Good. All right, give me a couple minutes.

We'll get this place cleaned up.

You know, up and down the coast, you got more salmon farms than boats.

Theirs look like bodybuilders. Mine look like weight watchers.

Pretty soon, I'm going to be fishing what's left of the minnows the trawlers

couldn't vacuum up.

So sell a boat.

Up to a museum?

Yeah, seen a lot of water.

Well, so have I.

I mean, I know what I want, but that's probably not going to happen, so... I'm

down to what I don't want.

A snarky old maid of the sea.

Well, you'd rather be a snarky old maid on land.

Definitely not.

The usual, Jack.

Coming up.

Hey, Tom.

Kate, how goes the battle?

How's it going?

Well, I met the new guy.

College professor.

Finally got one eligible bachelor in town.

I've seen him.

I gave him directions. Thank you.

So you think he's going to get along with Mike? Well, two people, that

lighthouse, six months.

They don't have much of a choice.

It's that or they kill each other.

Right.

Boy, that was a great state.

Thank you.

It's a coat in the salt, high heat, medium rare.

A little shallots and wine in the pan, and there it is.

Magnifico.

Nothing complicated, really.

I'm just glad it wasn't fish.

You don't like fish?

Yes. Well, it's really just how you prepare it.

You know, I think if you present things in their best light, people will swallow

almost anything.

That's my philosophy in life, anyway.

Well, cheers.

Well, I don't think I have one, really, that I know of.

Where you from?

Here.

Well, I live in Chicago.

Why'd you come back?

I got kind of broke.

I was trying to get this band going on, and it didn't really work out.

Did you do time?

No.

Well, almost.

I was, uh, hanging with these guys.

And, uh, you know, they were doing burglaries and drugs, selling shit.

And so when they got busted, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, the

wrong crowd.

Got a suspended sentence.

Well, my sister vouched for me and got me this job, actually, so I wouldn't

have to go to jail.

Oh, man, I gotta sweep up. Can you finish this dish?

Yeah, all right.

Well, actually, you know, I think things are looking up for you, kid.

You're in the right place at the right time with the right guy.

Yeah.

Whoa, this looks mean.

Whoa, hey, hey, that's a flare gun.

Blanton set us for emergencies.

Like, if something really bad happens.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that, huh?

Yeah.

Oh.

Hey.

Hello. See you found it?

Yes, ma'am. Good directions.

That must be it.

I'm Kate, Mike's sister.

Oh, small world.

I'm Adam Terrell.

I know.

Is he around?

He's inside cleaning up.

Mike is cleaning up?

Uh-huh.

Hi. Hello there.

I'm leaving tomorrow, so I thought I'd come by, say hi, give you some junk, and

see how you're doing.

Oh, Mike is doing just fine.

I'll go put this inside.

Oh, listen, since you're heading off tomorrow, why don't you just join us for

supper? Oh, I can't. I got a real early start, daybreak.

Yeah, she fishes.

Oh, well, maybe you can help sketch something.

Hey, this is paradise.

It really is.

Yeah?

Boy, you don't think so?

I don't know.

People that live in paradise never truly appreciate it.

I just go out every two weeks, catch a half a ton of fish, come back and worry

about my bills. That's my paradise.

You make it sound so eloquent.

Sometimes I just wish I did like my brother, Mike.

Take off, don't look back, explore.

He took a wrong turn somewhere.

Ah, Mike's okay.

He just doesn't know where it fits in.

Makes two of us.

You know he's not going to eat any of this, don't you?

He hates seafood just as much as he hates this place.

I'm sure I can talk him into it.

Want that?

How much?

Ten.

You're on.

Let's see.

You don't like oysters, Mike?

You want to give them a shot?

Come on.

Well, it looks like snot in an ashtray, but how do you eat these things?

Like this.

Right now.

Can't have horses without beer.

You don't have them if you don't want them.

Come on.

A nice cold one.

Here's to us.

Well, you certainly have a way with him.

He's just a kid.

I learned something.

A smile goes a lot further than a kick in the butt.

That smile just cost me ten bucks.

Oh, I don't want your money.

Ten bucks.

No way.

Take it.

All right.

I'm going to buy you a cup of coffee or something.

A glass of wine.

Okay. When you get back.

I really appreciate what you're doing with Mike.

I think you two are going to get along just fine.

So do I.

Hey, sis.

Come back in one piece, all right?

Yeah, I'll try.

Well, thanks for dinner, Adam.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Good luck fishing.

Thanks. I'll need it.

We're a hell of a team, Mike. Hell of a team.

Candy from the baby.

You're up early? Yeah.

I brought you something.

Oh, man, am I kidding?

Oh, come on, girl.

I got this in a little shop in Savannah.

The old woman told me that brings good luck.

Uh, keeps away the evil spirits of the sea.

Some old Viking legend or something.

Is it true?

No. Sounds good, though, don't it?

Oh yeah.

Well look, if it doesn't work, you can always give it back.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You take care.

Thanks.

You know how they got that 4-H club for farmers?

And I got my 4-F club.

Fuck fish, fishing, and fishermen.

Hoo-wee. That sounds like an opinion.

Well, it's the only one I got.

Hey, boy. What was your daddy like?

He was an asshole.

Best thing about him, he was gone a lot.

Threw me in the water when I was three.

I know.

Kate told me she's the one who pulled you out.

I am?

Did she tell you how he beat me up?

Right after, couldn't even wait till I was dry, huh?

Whack! Whack, boy! Whack! Whack!

I was a lot like you when I was young.

Didn't know who I was, what I wanted to do. But you gotta pick yourself up.

It ain't about how bad things get, Mike. It's what you learn.

Gotta stand on your own two feet, for God's sakes.

Seems like people are just stepping on mine.

It's the weak that get stepped on.

Only the strong survive.

You gotta find a place where you can stand, get control. You got control,

they can't touch you.

Yeah, fuck them.

It ain't about fucking.

It's about you.

How strong it can be. Get up here.

I know you're afraid. Don't be.

You know, someone once said, you have nothing to fear but fear itself.

And fear breeds failure.

Come on.

That's it.

You've got to conquer your fear.

Fight the conqueror.

Come on, look at that water.

Get angry with it.

Now it's anger that makes the world go round.

Thought it was love

Hey, come on!

Keep this off!

Hey, how you doing?

Oh, still freezing.

Yeah, five minutes in that water and you're dead. Here, this won't hurt you.

Oh, Kate goes apeshit when I drink.

Well, Kate ain't here.

And maybe you haven't noticed, but this place is a dead end.

Ain't nothing beyond here but a whole lot of nothing.

Hell, you can see anybody coming for four or five miles, day or night.

You can see him coming.

And I don't know about you, but that makes me feel pretty secure.

Well, I thought I was going to go nuts in this place.

And you were a bit of a pain in the ass.

Well, yeah, I'll drink to that.

All right.

You know, Mike, life's about seeing it coming, thinking on your feet.

Not getting ahead of yourself, you know?

Just find the perfect moment.

Perfect moments don't exactly come naturally to me.

I mean, I was standing on that stupid rock and I nearly drowned.

Oh, well, that happens.

We don't want to let your sister know about that. We'll just keep that between

us.

When's she getting back, anyway?

Tomorrow, I think.

Yeah, right, right, tomorrow.

Oh, you know Mike.

She's gonna want to see the good Mike.

You know the good Mike hiding inside you?

You up for that?

I'll give it a shot.

Did you say shot?

Hmm, I did.

You reach that little glass over here.

Here we go.

On the edge.

Get out of here.

What's your book about?

My book?

Your move.

My book is about the life and hard times

of Ed Kennishaw.

People call him Ed, but he likes Eddie more friendly.

When he was three, his mother divorced, took him to South Carolina.

They were real poor Lived in a single room

Bathroom down the hall

She

worked in a textile mill day shift On

nights She

turned tricks

She'd bring men to their bed, and little Eddie, he'd have to get up and go sit on

the floor in the corner and watch.

Just watch.

Sometimes he'd sleep and have nightmares

about his daddy.

Beating him and his mom half to death.

Sometimes the men beat her.

She'd blame him to beat him next.

He didn't have no friends.

Didn't want any.

I called him a loser.

And he'd just sit at home and...

Mama said he was a survivor.

But that didn't sound right to Eddie.

Because a survivor ain't nothing but a loser that ain't dead yet.

No, Eddie's a winner.

And he's smart, too.

He starts watching people.

Yeah, he's watching.

And the more he watches, he reckons that their lives

ain't half right either.

They're unhappy.

They're lost.

They hate themselves.

But Eddie knows.

Eddie knows he's got a gift.

He's got the gift to turn people's lives around.

He makes them happy before they die.

Go to see the angels in heaven.

Of course, he doesn't tell anybody about this because they wouldn't believe him

anyway.

And he doesn't want to take credit for making them happy before they die.

That's the gift.

And he'll die too, before someone takes it away.

Me?

I just checkmated myself.

You better

clean that up now, boy.

You hear me?

Shit.

So where'd you go this time?

The Lighthouse Commission.

We have to file a report every week.

So what do we say?

Well... The truth.

Everything's fine.

What have you been up to?

Not much, just played some guitar.

That's my boy. Worked on some songs.

You bet.

Hey, you want a sandwich?

I was going to make one. We've got some ham and mustard.

Sure, that'd be great.

Okay.

Cool. Make us some sandwiches.

There's some milk, too.

Hey. Tell me something Mike.

What?

Tell me about your sister.

You like her?

Don't you?

Of course.

Hey, stranger.

How was it?

Pretty good.

Better than usual. All right.

Guess I got lucky.

Lucky looks good on you.

So how's my favorite brother?

Old Mike?

Well, he's doing okay.

I like him, you know.

What are you doing this for?

Thought I might draw my hand at birdwatching.

But I don't know the first thing about it.

Well, you find them and then you watch them.

Yeah,

yeah. But you gotta know where to find them first.

Don't you?

Yeah.

Wanna go?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Give me a couple hours.

I'll swing by the lighthouse.

Hey. Just got back.

Yeah, how'd it go?

Pretty good.

Really good.

Yeah? Adam's good luck charm really helped out.

Really?

So you keep him busy?

Oh, well, I guess.

I don't know. There's not much to do around here except when Adam's around.

What do you mean? He's not around much?

Well, uh, he's, uh...

Working on this book or something. I don't know. You ready to go?

Yeah, sure.

Where you guys going?

Just taking me bird watching.

We'll see you later, okay? Yeah.

Mike, good work on the shutters. Looking good.

And after the shutters, you clean out the shed.

See ya.

I'm a piece of shit now.

Well, I told you I kill fish.

That's what I do.

I smell of it. I kill those things all day long. You sure there's nothing else?

Nothing that means anything. You sure?

Well, very little.

Huh. Little's a lot better than nothing, girl.

How about you?

Any deep, dark secrets I should know about?

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, the suspense is building.

I have a son.

Six years old, Alex.

So, you're married?

I was with his mom about five years.

Split up four years ago. She got sold custody. I haven't seen Alex in two

years.

I'm sorry to hear about that.

It's not like a deep, dark secret.

But it's more like a wound that won't heal, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Where is your son living now?

Oh, they moved to California.

Driving here, it struck me. I could go north to the lighthouse or south. I'm a

north.

You wish you hadn't?

I thought about it.

Then I met you.

Didn't we talk about keeping this place clean?

Man, I got all the time in the world.

Hey, shake it off, son. Shake it off.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but it's for your own good.

Okay?

How's it going with that book of yours?

I'm working on it.

You gonna tell me about it?

Well, it's about this guy in his mid-forties, slowly dying in his crazy

little world, and he can't escape it.

That's the basic story.

And there'll probably be a little six-year-old boy in there, too.

I come to think of it, the story could be from the point of view of the kid.

Yeah.

Young and see things.

They remember things.

What do you think?

I think it'll be great.

Written from the heart.

I try to be creative.

Sculpt a little.

Draw. Make stuff.

Art?

I guess so.

I don't usually mention it. I don't think I'm very good at what I do.

I'd like to see you work.

No, you wouldn't. Yes, I would.

Really? Uh-huh.

I knew there was someone other than a girl that goes out and kills fish.

There's another Kate.

That's the one I'd like to get to know.

Where you been?

The rusty fuck.

Where were you?

I don't think that's any of your business.

I thought we were supposed to work on some songs.

That's true. I did say that, didn't I?

Yeah.

Oh.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I don't know. I think she's extremely talented, don't you?

Yeah, doing what?

Hey, maybe you can write that on our little report, huh?

Anyone ever tell you it's rude to go peeking through people's windows?

Perfect!

Damn it, Mike.

Come on.

Don't be so damn stupid.

You want your sister to call you a parole officer?

What are you going to learn, son?

Come on, Mike.

What the hell's your problem?

Adam just called. Now you're getting into fights with him?

I didn't do anything.

It was him.

It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?

It's never yours. What, you were drinking at the Rusty Duck?

I had a couple of beers.

Oh, so you were wasted, and you just had to start a fight with Adam?

Bullshit!

All right? That guy, I'm telling you, he fucking jumped me. He fucked my face up.

Thank God he didn't press charges.

He's too busy pressing something else.

Isn't he?

Not nice. No, fuck it, man. I'm getting the fuck out of here.

If you do that, I'll call the police and you're going straight to jail.

This is a fucking jail.

Look!

You could give a fuck about me.

Huh?

Just want to hang out with your new boyfriend?

I'm out of here.

Is that what you think, huh?

Fine. If you want to leave, then leave.

I just wish you were out of my fucking life for good.

I can't talk to you right now. I gotta go.

Well,

she got a temper on her, don't she?

Good afternoon.

Is it?

I brought you something for your boat.

I think I gotta take her out for a test. I just replaced the fuel pump.

Mind if I come along?

Suit yourself.

I've been thinking, Kate.

I've been thinking six months is beginning to seem like a short period of

time.

What do you mean?

You know...

I can't believe how great that felt.

Yeah.

The earth moved, Kate.

That's him, anyway.

I should have gone to college.

Well, why don't you?

I don't know.

Try a semester.

Do you know that you're talking to someone who almost flunked high school?

Well, you would try harder now.

I am a teacher there. I do have some pull.

I smell summa cum laude.

Mm-hmm.

And I think I smell like fish.

It's the old woman in the seat.

It's me too.

I wish you didn't have to go.

So do I.

But I am the Watcher.

Duty calls.

I need to talk to Mike for a couple minutes, okay?

I feel... Go.

Mike? He's supposed to be here, isn't he?

Well, I don't know. Maybe, uh, he went out for a walk or something.

We'll wait for him.

Come on.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

Come on.

Sometimes Mike is gone for hours at a time.

It's funny you said the same thing about you.

You did?

Oh, that little rat.

Thank you.

They say the murders started in South Carolina and worked their way sort of

zigzag across the country pretty close to here.

He kills his victims with a knife. One thrust, right through the ribs, straight

to the heart. Always the same.

What do you mean, close to here?

Well, they found a woman in a trailer park about 300 miles from here, same M

.O. But then a couple days later, there's this male Caucasian just about

100 miles from here on up the coast.

And no prints, no I.D. because the animals got to him.

So we're waiting on the FBI for a DNA check, because one thing is, the clothes

at the scene match the suspects.

That's what we're thinking, you know.

And maybe it's the same sick bastard, you know, he's dead.

Jesus, four women.

Yeah.

Twelve of them.

Maybe more for all we know.

You know, there's no sign of violence except for the knife, but he did have

sex with all of them.

Regular Casanova with an edge.

Okay.

Get another one, Jack. Yeah, coming up.

Hey, Michael.

Hi.

Anyhow, put that up somewhere. Keep your eyes open just in case, okay? Got it.

I'll see you later, Jack. Take care.

Thanks. Yeah.

Okay. Jesus, Mike?

We need to talk.

I don't want to hear about it. No, no, it's important.

You don't know him.

Adam.

He's two people.

He's totally weird.

He's a... You've got a right to talk about weird.

Look, I saw his writing.

It's not even the same.

What are you talking about?

I mean that he wrote me a note, and the writing in his book is totally

different.

He says he's a writer. Yeah, I've never seen him write once.

All right? He never sleeps.

The guy cleans everything three times. Make sure he does it three times. He

stares for hours at nothing through those fucking binoculars.

You've seen those weeds, those stupid dead weeds that he puts all over the

house. I mean, that's bizarre.

These beads that are always click, click, click, click, click.

He's driving me up the wall.

I mean, he already smacks me.

And then minutes later, he's all nice again.

Hold it.

Are you jealous?

Is that it?

That's what it is, isn't it?

Daddy likes you better.

Well, he did, didn't he?

You have no idea what I went through.

Get your shit together and grow up.

I know I'm a fuck-up.

Could you just take Olivia this picture?

Because... I mean, who is that?

He's got the same hat, same sweater.

Who is that guy?

Would you just please leave me alone?

Kate, he's really, really crazy.

And I heard the cops were looking for this serial killer.

So now he's a serial killer.

We don't know who he is. I know who he is.

Oh, yeah?

This is breaking my heart.

I brought you here because I wanted to help you turn your life around.

That's it.

I wanted to be of some help.

And now you're drinking?

And you're starting fights, and you're disappearing for all hours of the night.

I mean, you're coming up with these outrageous, stupid ideas. Is this what I

can expect from you?

Is this it, Mike?

Why don't you just go?

Hey, I... Just please go!

Looking for this?

What is it?

We're looking for Mike, Kate.

He came back home and barely said a word.

I went up to clean the glass on the light.

When I came back down, he was speeding down the causeway, and I mean fast.

Was his stuff still at the lighthouse?

No guitar, no bag, no nothing.

I saw him this morning. He was acting crazy.

I asked him to leave, but I didn't think, you know.

I'll tell you what. I'll go back to the office and see if something turns up.

He's an adult. There's no sign of foul play, so I can't even file a missing

person report for another 48 hours anyway.

Thanks, Bill.

Thank you, sir.

I hope he's not gonna do anything crazy again.

Can you go back to the lighthouse just in case he shows up there?

You okay, Kate?

Yeah. I'm just gonna check a couple places around here.

Kate, you look like you could use a drink.

No, thanks.

Jack, have you seen Mike? I can't find him. No? No such luck today.

Well, if you do, would you tell him I'm sorry and I want to see him?

Sure thing.

It's a serial killer.

They're all looking for him.

Why'd you make me do it?

You don't know him.

Adam.

He's two people.

You're a fool, Kate.

You can't believe how great that felt. He says he's a writer. I've never seen

him write once. I am a teacher there.

I do have some pull. He smacks me. Minutes later, it's all nice again. Oh,

my. I like him, you know. These beads are always... Wait, wait, wait.

From now, he's a serial killer.

I know who he is. What the fuck about me?

Just want to hang out with your new boyfriend?

Are you jealous?

Is that it? That guy, I'm telling you, he fucking jumped me. He fucked my face

up. Shit together and grow up. He's really, really crazy.

I just wish you were out of my fucking life for good.

Okay. I don't know how to say this.

Damn it, there ain't no right way.

Being at the lighthouse with Mike, watching him, watching you.

I don't know, it just made me start thinking about my boy growing up without

a daddy.

That ain't right.

Are you leaving?

Yesterday, six months was a short time.

Kate.

I found this in his room.

Sis. You were right, sis.

I'm just a useless pain in the ass.

I'm sorry I hurt you.

Now, maybe you and Adam can be happy together.

If I ever get good at something, except screwing up, you'll hear from me.

I love you, sis.

Bye.

Well, maybe it's all for the best, like you said.

Can I see the note?

It's not like he's gonna go out and kill himself. That's not what it says.

Where'd you get that?

I found that on the floor.

Who is that?

That's my best friend, Art Stoner.

We teach together in the literature department.

And that's our school hat he's wearing.

And you know who the boy is?

That's my son, Alex.

Art's his godfather.

Can I have this back?

You love me.

I want to make this night precious.

Say you love me, Kate.

I need to

hear it.

You never say it.

Say it.

I used to do this with my dad.

Sail around the bay at night.

And I'd always hear Mike crying.

Because he was alone.

And afraid.

I got so used to it.

I don't even know if I cared anymore.

But you know what?

No one ever heard me crying.

I hear you.

I love you.

You love me?

Just let me hear you say it.

I loved you.

So did my-

I don't know what to say, Kate. There's no body.

We'll keep looking, but he couldn't have survived more than a few minutes in that

water.

Hell, I don't know how to do the paperwork on this.

You want me to put out the missing persons on Mike?

No, leave him be.

Okay.

Well, I'll be talking to you later, okay?

Do your cake.

You always told me I should change.

Well, I have.

You'll see.

Love, Mike.

Thank you.

Thank you.
