- Dearly Beloved, you can expect

that there to be obvious signs

of progressive degeneration as the brain cells

continue to deteriorate,

beginning with the thought processes,

decision making and short term memory.

The progression of familial Alzheimer's varies

from person to person, from person to person.

(haunting music)

Familial Alzheimer's.

Familial Alzheimer's, Alzheimer's.

(bird chirping)

(gentle music)

- Bryan?

- Hmm?

- It was the dream again, wasn't it?

(Bryan sighs)

- Should I get you home?

- No.

- I have to get back to mom.

(clanging)

(engine rumbling)

(lively music)

(sighs)

- Bryan!

Bryan, Bryan.

It's me, it's Hope.

Can you hear me?

Open your eyes.

(intense music)

(gentle music)

(sighs)

- Grams.

- [Anne] We'll be out in a minute.

* My love is like the red, red rose *

- Hi, beautiful.

- [Breen] Hi.

- Do you know who I am?

(laughs)

Not so much today, huh mom?

- Bryan, that shirt's a mess.

Don't you ever iron?

- Not unless the occasion calls for it, Grams.

Hi.

- Watch what you're doing,

she's more imbalanced in the evenings.

- I've got her, she's fine.

- [Anne] You're shoving her along.

- I'm not.

- [Anne] Just be careful.

- Yeah, I forgot, no one can

take care of her quite like you, Grams.

- [Anne] Don't be so childish.

Here, let me have a hold of her.

You stay here while I get her settled.

Go on now.

It's alright Breen, Momma's here and I always will be.

Got your Mom to bed.

If you want some dinner,

there's still some chicken in the oven.

- Been a long day, tired.

- Bryan, when it comes to your Mom, I need...

No, I demand perfection.

We're talking about her life here.

- Hers or yours?

Never mind.

I shouldn't have come home this soon,

disrupting you and mom.

I'm gonna head back out for a while.

- Who's disrupting whom?

- [Bryan] What?

- It just seems to me that you, young man,

want to go all out and buy that expensive ring.

Happily plan a life with that Hope girl.

And your Alzheimer's Mom and old divorced Grandma

are selfishly holding you back,

disrupting your life of sheer contentment.

- Is that what you think?

- Maybe.

(Bryan sighs)

(birds chirping)

- She was so smug, harsh.

I mean it wasn't her typical I'm Grams

and I can do everything better than everyone else.

No, this was different.

Something more is gnawing at her.

(sighs)

I don't know what to do.

- It's tough, worrying about both

your Mom, your Grandma and oop.

- Sorry.

- That's all right.

You're also thinking about us, aren't you?

The future?

- Sometimes it's hard to see the future

through the present.

(gentle music)

(laughing)

(sighs)

- Is there even a remote chance you could be wrong?

Well, I'm not surprised.

I guess getting absolute confirmation,

just wasn't quite ready for it.

- I have a few more tests that I want to run, Anne,

and then we can get together to discuss in full

your treatment options.

It's imperative now that you contact your family

and let them know what's going on.

You'll need their support.

(bird chirping)

(melancholy music)

(crying)

- Pull it together.

Pull it together.

(solemn music)

- [Anne Voiceover] God's special gift,

my smart happy girl, who was so excited about life.

Alzheimer's has taken so much away from you

and from all of us.

You loved your dancing.

(bangs) - I told you no.

- [Anne] Are you two all right?

- She thinks she's going to work.

I couldn't orient her, hey.

- [Anne] Oh here, let me have her.

- No, we're fine, I have this.

Mom.

(sighs)

- No. - Breen, honey.

You haven't worked in a long time.

- No, but I got called back

and well, uh, there's, um,

there's a meeting, there's a meeting I have to go to.

- At night?

- Yeah, it's a long way.

(sighs) (gentle music)

- [Bryan] Mom.

You okay?

- Uh, who's that?

- Someone very special.

(melancholy music)

- [Bryan] She's quiet now.

More quiet than ever.

Sometimes I miss her voice, I miss her laugh.

She's all I ever had and now,

I don't even know who she...

I mean when most people suffer, that's it.

They suffer, they mourn, they move on,

they find closure, but with Alzheimer's,

it's a slow, painful daily loss.

Like there would never be closure, only loss.

I'm losing a...

I'm losing a piece of her each and everyday.

- I know.

- You asked me...

- Asked what?

- About the pills.

I mean I won't lie, the pain was intense

and it - That's okay.

I was able...

And the thought of you having to go through this with me.

It was just plain selfish of me.

- Selfish?

Really?

I mean selfish would be me not loving you well

in the hard times.

I want to hope I believe just as sacrificially

as you do your mom now.

- What?

- You heard me.

- Yeah. (sighs)

- I just can't begin to tell you

what you thinking like that does...

Okay, just because your mom has it,

doesn't mean you will too.

I mean your grandma doesn't, right?

Babe, please, I, I don't want you to struggle

and I certainly don't want you to think

I'd be better off without you.

I love you with all my heart and I'm not.

I'm not going anywhere.

- How do you not understand this?

How do you not get this?

I'm trying to protect you.

- I don't need protecting, I need you.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- Do you know anyone here?

- No, that's the point.

I've got an idea.

Could we have you help us with something?

- My mom isn't here right now.

- That's okay, we just need you.

- Do you remember how to use your fork?

There you go.

Now how about you take a bite

and let me see you're doing all right.

Good job.

(doorbell rings)

Oh my word.

If that boy of yours has forgotten his key again,

I'm gonna ring him.

It's cold in here.

What are you doing?

Does your Mother know you're over here?

- They say she, uh, they say you should come help.

- [Anne] Who said, George?

Come on.

(birds chirping)

(clattering)

- My little sister ran in the forest

to find her puppy and I don't know where she went

and we're new here.

Can you please help me?

Thank you.

(solemn music)

(bangs)

- [Anne] Breen, I'm back.

- Riley!

- [Anne] Breen?

Breen!

Breen!

(door slams)

What?

I said it was a lapse in judgment.

What else you want from me?

- I want what's best for mom.

That's what I want.

What if this happens again?

- It won't.

- How do you know?

- I just do.

(sighs)

- Well, I think it's probably best

to start making other arrangements.

- For heaven sakes.

Bryan, I have to help your mom get bathed

and ready for bed.

Honey, the drama now is beyond overkill.

I don't have the time for it, not right now.

(gentle music)

- Found you.

- You did indeed and I'm glad.

You know why?

- Why?

- Because I get so afraid without you.

After all, you are my super superhero.

(Bryan laughs)

Seriously, I could get lost.

- Mom, I could never lose you.

- [Breen] Ah.

(baby chattering)

(laughing)

(baby crying)

(Hope sighs)

- I want babies.

Maybe lots of them.

- Okay, you are officially scaring me right now.

(laughs)

(Bryan sighs)

- Why do you always do that when I touch you there?

- Just not comfortable with it.

- Those scars mean nothing to me.

That's not your life any more.

- Grams and her issues, mom and the Alzheimer's,

my dad up and leaving, now grandpa leaving.

When the outside pain got intense, I could...

You know.

- (sighs) No one can predict what's gonna happen

to your mom and gramma, any of us.

We can only know about today.

This moment.

- Sometimes I don't even know that.

- You don't have to have it all figured out.

Just take things one day at a time.

- Yeah.

- Baby steps.

(laughing)

- Really?

* I've never been sure about anything or anyone *

* I've lost that feeling

* But I don't change when the tide come in *

* And you came rushing in

* I almost lost my mind

* I know that you are the one I long for *

* Everyday I need every way

* You saved me, you gave me

* Only you could change my world *

* Only you could change my world *

* You saved me, you gave me

* Only you could change my world *

* Only you could change my world *

* You saved me, you gave me

* Only you can change my world

- Oh!

Uh.

(moans)

Hello, Evelyn.

It's Anne.

Can you come over, please?

How fast can the taxi be here?

(sniffling)

Okay, thank you.

(knocking)

Come in, Evelyn, the door's open.

- Oh, Anne, you look terrible.

What happened?

- It's a migraine.

Horrible one.

I'm heading to the hospital.

I have to get some help.

- Well how are you going?

Are you calling Bryan?

Because I really can't see doing this yourself.

- Calling Bryan is the last thing I'm gonna do.

I called a cab.

I don't want Breen upset,

so I'll just go and get checked out and I'll right back.

- I understand, you go ahead and go on,

take care of yourself, get well.

We'll keep Breen company, okay?

- I hope you feel better.

(gentle music)

(gasps)

- Bryan, no.

It's Evelyn from across the street.

I wasn't suppose to call you,

but I'm really very concerned.

- What are you doing here?

Ah, it's bad, isn't it?

- They're running tests.

The doctor should be here any minute.

- Did she call you?

- No one called.

I was making rounds and I ran into her.

- I knew something was up with her.

If it was bad, then why didn't she call me?

And Evelyn of all people?

You know her son, George was the one

who got her out of the house.

- George was put up to that and you know it.

He never would've...

I know you're upset, but you have to stay positive.

Panicking isn't gonna solve anything and you know that.

- Yeah.

- There's a lot of hurt and despair in your family.

That's evident.

But I've also seen strength, I've seen that in you.

- Not me.

- Oh yes.

Only God knows what lies ahead.

But right now you need to be a pillar for your family.

You need to stand up and be the man

that your father wasn't and that your grandfather

is having difficulty being.

(sighs)

James?

You got a minute?

Yeah, there's something we need to talk about.

(upbeat music)

- Yeah.

Okay.

What did they say?

* There's people that who miss me *

Uh huh.

All right.

Thanks for calling, Collin, bye.

* And kiss me

That was Ashby spouting off something about Anne.

I couldn't quite make it all out.

- And I care why?

- Oh, I didn't ask if you cared.

I was just dousing your paranoia

before the nagging started.

Why do you always have to get ticked off, Tawnie?

* So I sing hey, la la la la la la la la la la *

* This time we have just goes to fast *

* Sing hey, la la la la la la la la la la *

Don't touch this.

- Somebody's gotta straighten up around here.

- [James] Not these, you don't.

(upbeat music)

(bagpipe music)

(bagpipe music)

- Oh, my gosh, I just felt so great up there.

(indistinct background chatter)

- Now that we have a definitive answer on the headaches,

we can treat them.

- But?

- But we still have to address the elephant in the room.

- (Laughs) You sure have a way with words.

- I'm serious!

You need to address the situation asap

and and get it out in the open.

- I will when the time's right.

- Your grandson is in the waiting room.

And your headaches should improve

once you start your new medication.

But he needs to know about the other issue.

And you know I can't tell him due

to HIPAA privacy laws and confidentiality.

But you, you should.

- If he finds out it'll only add to the stress

and even more headaches.

- You should tell him and soon,

before he finds out some other way.

- I will, soon enough.

* And I will love thee still, my dear *

* 'Til all the seas gang dry

* 'Til all the seas gang dry, my dear *

* The rocks melt with the sun

* And that's

All momma knows, you're gonna have to teach me the rest.

Breen, what's wrong?

- Where's dad?

- He's near.

- [Hope] Name, Kerbates.

- [Bryan] Thank you.

- In the midst of twilight.

You're poetry again.

- I'm seriously thinking about getting back into my writing.

- That's good.

- And my writing isn't the only thing

for the future I'm thinking about.

- Oh yeah?

- Yes.

Now that your Grandma's better,

I think she'll listen more.

Won't be so quick to judge.

We finally have our chance.

- Maybe.

And I hope.

(lively music)

Come on, I wanna dance.

- In the middle of the restaurant?

- Yeah.

- I so wish I could've seen your mom dance.

- It was magic.

- Still with me?

- Yeah, I was just thinking,

my mom was brilliant to watch, it was so graceful.

It was poetic, I know you like that word.

They say she was an amazing competitor.

I know she was a great teacher.

She deserves the best that I can give.

* And the summer wind is easy

* The moon is right on time

* And every word that hits the page just right *

* Strolling hand in hand with you *

(laughing)

* In perfect common time makes me smile *

* A better day I've never known *

- It was amazing.

She looked to me and just clear as day

asked where her Dad was.

- That's not just amazing, that is a miracle.

- It's a miracle.

- It was and yes these moments of clarity

are few and far between, but wow.

I was talking to Breen again.

My Breen before the Alzheimer's.

(clattering)

It was so good to talk to her like that.

- Oh, I'm sure it was.

(Bryan sighs)

- Can you come back and say hello?

- [Bryan] I'm in a hurry, I've got a lot to do.

- If you two will excuse me for just a minute,

I wanna go check on something.

What's the emergency?

- I'm just tired, it's no big deal.

- [Anne] When you're rude to my guest it is a big deal.

- You mean the same folks who had a hand

in breaking into our home?

- [Anne] No, the same folks that came

to watch your mom when I went to the emergency room.

- George and Evelyn and those girls, I...

- Now listen here, that poor soul

didn't even know what he was doing.

Those girls tricked him and they admitted it

when they got caught trying to do it to somebody else.

Evelyn and I have made up.

Let it go.

- You guys are all in there drinking tea,

acting like nothing is wrong.

Meanwhile, mom's nowhere is sight.

Where is she?

- [Anne] She's sleeping soundly.

- Sleeping in the afternoon?

Great.

We're gonna have to deal with the sundowners later,

you know that.

- For the last time Bryan, I know what I am doing

when it comes to your mom, the interrogation ends now.

And don't roll your eyes at me, you know I hate that.

From now on, if we have guests,

don't come into the house

without at least speaking to them.

Got it?

- [Breen] No!

You're trying to kill me.

(dramatic music)

No, no, no.

(crying)

- Hey, hey, mom, hey, no.

It's okay, it's okay. - She's trying to hurt.

She's, she's trying to hurt me.

- Hey, beautiful, you're all right.

I'm right here, it's fine.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

- Hey, mom, mom.

(crying)

Hey, hey, hey, mom, look at me, look at me.

Hey, it's Bryan, you see, hey, you love me?

You're okay.

* Speed bonnie boat

Remember, remember?

Right, right here.

Hey, sit down with me.

Sit down with me, yeah?

Come on.

What do they sing?

What do they sing, huh?

* Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing *

* Onward the sailors cry

* Carry the lad that's born to be king *

* Over the sea to Skye

* Over the sea to Skye

* Over the sea to Skye

* Over the sea to Skye

* Over the sea to Skye

* Over the sea to Skye

(Bryan sighs)

- How is she?

- She's in bed settling down.

- You were really good with her tonight.

I appreciate it.

(gentle music)

- Hey, chief, what's up?

- Just out for a spring drive.

Good way to cool my head.

- What's got you burned up this time?

- Anne, Tawnie, lots of things, I guess.

(sighs)

- You walked away from things a long time ago, James

and I'm not sure--

- And nothing!

It was horrific to be around.

Literally felt as if I was going to snap.

- We've known each other a long time.

- Yeah, even before you got this job

working on Sundays. (chuckles)

- There's been a lot of bad things said

and done over the years.

It's over with Anne, I know that,

but you still have a chance to make a difference

with Breen and with Bryan.

Don't wait until it's too late.

(gentle music) (birds chirping)

- [Anne] Sweetheart, I let you wear those every weekend

because we weren't doing anything.

Today we need to change.

Breen, honey, will you let me help you?

- This is fine.

- Breen, honey, today's important.

I have an appointment to go to.

Evelyn's coming over to be with you.

- No. - You have to change.

- No, these are my clothes

and I won't let you or the army steal them.

- How about you at least let me brush your hair?

Come on.

- They blew a hole in the wall.

That way they can crawl in when night, um,

when, when night, when night comes.

They look at me with black eyes.

- I know it's a lot to consider,

but would you at least contact a family member?

- There's a lot at stake, so it's best

if I just keep it to myself for right now.

- It is your decision, but I must inform you

that you should have this procedure

as soon as possible and even with the surgery,

you most likely will still need treatment.

- I know and I'll need a family member

to bring me back and forth.

I've heard it all before.

- I know, Anne and I'm adamant.

- I'll contact you with my decision about the surgery.

- There's your parents and you

when you were 14, you see?

Breen, you see?

Look at the picture, see?

Look at that.

Oh, hi, how are you?

Well, I would like to stay a little while longer,

but George's case worker's going

to be dropping him off soon.

- Thank you for everything.

Especially for getting my girl to change her clothes.

- Oh, I love doing it.

And when you get a breather,

I would like to hear everything, okay?

- Up for a walk, kiddo?

- Wanna go for a walk with your mom?

She's right there.

See, huh?

(gentle music)

* I will come again, my love

* Though it were 10,000 miles

- You can expect there to be obvious signs

as the progressive degeneration

of the brain cells continues,

beginning with decision making and short term memory.

(melancholy music)

- Thank you.

(sighs)

- But the progression of familial Alzheimer's disease

varies tremendously among individuals,

so that it could take some time

before you see this in a substantial way.

This type of inherited Alzheimer's is--

- Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait a second.

Did you say inherited?

- [Doctor] Yes.

- Yeah, but sometimes those things skip generations, right?

I mean, Breen's got her grandad's eyes.

- Well, mutations on three genes

have been linked to early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

For instance, a gene labeled PS1

may be responsible for 30% to 60%

of early-onset Alzheimer's cases.

- Wait, wait, you're saying genes,

really screwed up genes are responsible

for the hell my daughter is about to go through?

- It's a bit more complicated than that.

- My mom and sister both had the disease.

Sis was only 40 and...

- That's right, your genes, yours, not mine, yours.

(crying)

No, I don't believe this.

Our daughter has a full productive life.

It's gotta be stress or something else, it's gotta be.

- Ah, Mr. Loslee, I really think--

- Wait, James, I have more questions.

- No, no more questions.

We're getting another opinion.

(Anne crying)

- Hello, earth calling.

Huh, there you are.

Hey, do me a favor.

If you're gonna do any more of that research thingy,

would you do it in the other room?

I'm crashing.

And be a doll, turn out the lights

before you go be that mad scientist.

(sighs)

- You know they do all sorts of transplants

and things now, right?

What if they gave her a new brain or something?

Hmm, what if they do it right.

- Seriously?

(thunder clashing)

- It's wishful thinking.

There's nothing wrong with it,

it happens from time to time.

- Still you'd think there'd be a cure by now.

This country that I served and sacrificed for

can put a man on the moon,

or at least fake it in the desert,

but they can't cure a brain illness?

(soft music)

- Well, it's not for lack of trying, I'm sure.

You have to have faith that eventually--

- Faith?

You have to have it to lose it.

I don't need faith, I need results.

And this research is the one thing

that brings me some hope.

- And how's that working out for you?

- You know when it first started,

she would just forget every now and then

there was a problem, you know?

But I could still talk to her.

Make her understand, I still had my girl.

- And now?

- The last time, she didn't know who I was.

- But you knew who she was.

Your own flesh and blood.

A beautiful child of God

with a blessed and amazing purpose.

- Purpose?

What is my family's purpose?

My daughter is practically a vegetable now,

and Anne, well we won't even get started on that woman.

And my Grandson, the drug addict.

- Bryan's been clean for some time now.

He's been instrumental in Breen's care.

- Still the whole thing is just broken.

- You feel that way because you want to be in control

and this research shows you want to have control.

- [James] So?

- So you can't always have it that way.

Sometimes life comes at you and you just

have to accept it as it is.

(sighs) You have to understand what you can

and cannot change and trust that God

will strengthen you for the rest.

You just have to ask.

- I can't bow before someone I don't believe in anymore.

(engine rumbling)

- So I know you're not pro nursing home,

but I appreciate you checking it out.

So does Hope.

- Well, I love her poetry,

so making an exception just this once.

- Maybe the nursing home might grow on you, you think?

(gentle music)

- First the eye, then the hand,

the rest came simply after that.

Smiles and laughs filled the days with wonder.

Seasons start and seasons end.

Tasting like salt they ran down.

Arms wrapped tight around,

shoulder to shoulder, standing strong.

Seasons change again.

Silence, distance, strangers met,

tolerated only for a glimpse of what had been.

Many seasons, one choice to join hands.

(applauding)

- You're really bad.

- [Harold] Incoming!

(upbeat music)

- Wait, Harold.

Harold.

Wait, Harold.

Harold.

Harold.

- Did you hear me, soldier?

Alert your men.

Now, now, now!

The enemy's on the move.

(laughs)

(gentle music)

(laughing)

- If I'm dreaming right now,

don't even think about waking me up.

- You're not dreaming.

(sighs)

Tonight was great though, wasn't it?

And the part with the war hero

rushing in to save your life.

- Yeah.

For the time I can see a light for all of us.

(squeals) Oh, whoa, whoa, wait.

We're gonna do this right.

(thunder rumbling)

- Off playing the martyr again?

Maybe it was Anne, were you making a house call?

- For the love of everything holy

will you please just shut up!

For once in your life!

And don't even think of throwing that.

Not that one!

- Oh why, did Anne give it to you or was it Breen?

- [James] Leave her out of this.

- Look, it's not my fault

your first attempt at family failed.

Your dream is dead.

- Don't push me.

Not a wise thing to do.

- Ooh, I'm shaking.

- What do you know about this anyway?

What do you know about anything?

Ice princess.

- [Tawnie] Oh yeah?

- I'm talking.

- Well that doesn't mean I'm listening.

- You, my dear, know nothing of dreams,

sacrifice, loss, family!

You know nothing of what I've been going through.

Never have.

You care more about that ugly picture than our

relationship. - This is art.

- Of all the heartless...

- Listen, don't you bad mouth me under your breath.

I rescued you from that nightmare.

I gave up the best three years of my--

- This, this is your best?

I'll make you a deal.

You quit being a selfish baby and I'll quit talking.

- Listen, I'll make you a deal.

I'll just leave, how's that?

- Fine!

- I'm outta here.

This was never a real relationship anyway.

You're just a stupid, stubborn old man

in love with a brain-dead--

(grunts)

- You're not worth it.

(gentle music)

(thunder rumbling)

* Gotta rhyme the work time jam *

- [Anne] Bryan, breakfast.

* But back down, fat chance, no go *

* Didn't even flinch, it was bad luck, *

* My miss, time spent, didn't have a chance *

* Didn't know and I should

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

* I found in my backwoods town

* Backwoods town

- Yes, I'm here.

Yes, they're mine.

I'll just come and pick them up.

Give Bryan some time with his mom.

Thank you again, Hope.

This is very embarrassing for me.

I'm sure you understand.

Nothing wrong with having a little insurance.

Just playing it safe.

You hungry?

- Ah, no, not right now.

I'm gonna run out to the car.

- Everything all right?

- Yeah.

- [Anne] Just getting your mom's medications refilled.

- All of them?

- Just started doing it recently.

Can't have her running out.

I was wondering if you'd sit with her while I'm gone?

- You mean you're trusting me?

- Can you help me or not?

I won't be long.

- I was relieved to hear those were yours.

When I thought they might be Bryan's

I just got this sick feeling all over.

- I'm sure.

- I'm just glad they found them for you.

- You have no idea.

Anyway, I won't keep you any longer.

Need to get back to Breen.

I know you understand.

And also, Hope, like I mentioned earlier,

this is really embarrassing for me.

Can we please keep this between us?

- Absolutely.

(solemn music)

(wind howling)

(upbeat music)

- [Anne] I'm back.

- We are just dancing, woo hoo.

- Well, I guess you had fun.

- [Breen] Do you wanna dance?

- Breeny, babe, I'm not young, maybe later.

I'm a little wiped out.

- [Breen] I can dance.

- Where you going?

- Nowhere, just out.

- Bryan, if something were wrong,

I mean...

You know you can come to me, right?

- Yeah, right.

- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Oh no, no.

Oh thank God.

(exhales)

(engine cranking)

(gentle music)

(rustling)

- I heard about Tawnie, I'm sorry man.

- You're sorry?

Come on Collin, you were never a fan of Tawnie.

- No, but I can still be sorry about it.

- I walked the trails down at the park this evening.

Hadn't done that in many years.

It was like visiting a sad old friend.

Someone I'd dismissed and neglected.

- I don't suppose the park holds much joy

for you with Breen.

- Not much holds joy for me anymore.

Deep down not even Tawnie, if I'm honest.

Tell me where God went.

A wise old Highlander once told me

that if I was still and listened close,

(gentle music)

I could hear God's voice among the hilltops,

and for a while I did.

- He's here more than ever.

And he's just waiting and wanting to talk to you.

That's why you keep coming back to this very spot.

- One man's opinion.

- Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

The evidence of things not seen, you know that.

- No offense Collin, but as I said before,

I'm all faithed out, and I didn't stumble in here

to be preached at.

- Sorry, James, I didn't mean to preach at you,

but you asked where God was,

I was trying to give you an answer.

- Yeah. fine.

I guess all I really wanted was vent.

Tawnie's gone and things are sinking fast.

- They don't have to.

Breen is here, your family is here,

they need you, you can always help them out.

- I don't have the strength right now for them.

You and everyone, and what, God?

Him, too.

You all need to understand that...

Just wanted to vent, you know?

- Anytime James.

You know I'm always here.

(gentle music)

- Looks like someone's in a better mood.

- Yeah, I went for a drive, got my head clear.

- So all's well that ends well, huh?

- I guess.

- We saved some chili, if you're hungry.

- Nah, I'm gonna go to sleep.

Been a long day.

- It certainly has.

What matters most is that you stay put.

That's what's most important.

(birds chirping)

- So tell me, are you my father?

Son?

Friend?

Stranger?

- I've been all those things at some point.

- Well, whoever you are, I like you.

- I like you, too.

(laughs)

- I see that Bryan took out Breen this afternoon earlier.

- Yes, they went to the park.

- And you're okay with that?

- No, not really.

I'm just trying to keep Bryan happy.

If I can do that, his focus isn't so much

on the nursing home.

- [Evelyn] But it seems like your family

is doing really well right now.

(gentle music)

- And it's going to stay that way.

- [Evelyn] What do you mean by that?

- I mean, if Bryan gets himself in a tizzy again

over his mom, I've got an ace

in my back pocket to bring him down.

I'm just a woman fighting to keep her daughter.

I mean, her life was blessed with the dancing and all.

I just flat refuse to let her life end

in some dark, cold nursing home.

You doubt me?

- Oh, Anne, I don't doubt you.

It's just that I want you to be realistic about things.

I mean Breen's health is deteriorating

and what with your condition right now.

- Evelyn, I appreciate your concern,

but I can handle it.

All of it.

(birds chirping)

- What?

- [Breen] I, I wanna go home.

- Sure, okay.

Yeah, we'll go home, we'll go right now.

Mom, what's wrong?

- This is not the way to the bus station.

- Mom, our home is nearby.

We don't need the bus.

- Don't be silly, I live miles from here.

- Mom, we're in Indiana right now, in Connersville.

- This is not Indiana.

- Mom, I promise you,

this is Indiana. - Hey.

- I promise you. - No!

- [Man] Are you all right?

- [Bryan] Yes, we're good.

- [Woman Jogger] You don't look all right.

- I said we're fine.

Yes, hey, it's okay, mom, we're right here.

- No. (crying)

- I don't think the little lady wants to go with you.

- Help, help, help, I'm being kidnapped!

Help!

- This is my mom.

She has Alzheimer's.

Anybody wanna help me get her to the car?

Anybody?

That's what I thought.

(crying)

Hey, mom, it's okay, it's okay, hey.

Let's get in the car, I'll drive you home.

- To Connersville?

- [Bryan] To Connersville, yes.

- Okay. - Okay?

All right, here we go.

(solemn music)

You sit down right there.

You okay?

(exhales)

- Yeah, Grams, it's me.

Yeah, everything is fine, all right?

I just wanted to let you know

that I'm taking mom for a drive.

- I see.

Well, I know she's in good hands,

so we'll just see you both soon.

- Yeah.

(gentle music)

- I mean she was cool about it, too cool.

- I told you she trusts you

and would come around in time.

- Yeah, but it's so weird.

I mean, she has never been that nice to me before.

- Don't question it, just think

maybe we can move forward with our lives now.

Be thankful.

- Maybe.

- Hey, time out, I need a quick break.

Whoa, fetch.

(gentle music)

(clattering)

Hey, babe. - Tell me to go fetch.

- What are you doing with your grandma's pills?

- What?

- The pills.

- Let me see those.

- They're the ones that got dropped at the nursing home.

They called me, I called called your house,

your grandma told me they were hers.

What are you doing?

- Sugar.

- What?

- Nothing.

Listen, I'm gonna run you home,

I'm gonna drop these off at Grams.

- Okay, anything wrong?

- No, I want these out of the car.

(gentle music)

(door slams)

- [Bryan] Grams.

- [Anne] What on earth?

- [Bryan] Care to explain these?

(gentle music)

- Well.

- No, save the excuses.

Hope told me everything.

Before you start talking about Hope,

she didn't tell me on purpose.

Why would you put a bag of sugar pills in my car?

- Maybe the better question is

why should I have to go around

with a bottle of sugar pills?

Needed to keep you away from these is why.

And to spare your mom from knowing

what a disappointment and failure you are.

- So what?

You got those from Hope.

Why would you switch them?

Seriously, I wanna know.

- That doesn't matter.

What does matter is these sure look

a whole lot like the ones you stole

from your grandfather's home.

The ones that nearly killed you.

- [Bryan] I can't believe you.

- Yeah, well maybe you should just try explaining these

to your grandfather.

Or better yet, the police.

- You gotta be kidding!

- Hey, gorgeous.

Looking to catch a ride?

(gentle music)

- [Bryan] You've gotta be kidding me, look.

- Your mom's not in her room.

- What?

- As in, not in her room, as in gone!

I'll call the police.

(intense music)

(engine cranking)

(dramatic music)

(sirens blaring)

- Folks, we want to thank everybody

for coming out today.

We appreciate you concerned citizens

banding together to give us a hand.

Officer Perkins has some instructions for you here.

He'll give to you.

Just be safe and stay together, if you would.

I've got a one mile radius marked off here.

It's where we oughta probably concentrate the search.

- Okay.

With the two teams, we're gonna divide up into.

Very important that you listen to these instructions.

I wanna make sure everyone stays safe.

As you search, make sure you stay together.

We don't need anyone to wander off and get lost also.

Team one, if you could find a team leader

to make sure that they are in charge.

Team two, make sure you have a team leader.

As you search, make sure you search all the buildings.

Team one, you're gonna go off this way.

You see all the buildings, make sure you go in them.

Make sure you search everywhere.

Team two, you're gonna go off this way.

As you see, you also have some vehicles,

make sure you search them and in the buildings.

Make sure you stay safe, that is important.

If you find anything, make sure you contact us,

work your way back to this point.

This will be the main contact point for us.

If you find anything, let us know.

You guys have any questions?

Okay, team one, you can take off.

Team two, you take off.

(solemn music)

(birds chirping)

- It's okay.

Watch your step.

(crying)

A woman called and reported seeing them pull

into a grocery store parking lot.

She recognized the description you gave of your daughter.

- Thank you, Jesus.

- I'll call Bryan.

- Thank you. (gentle music)

- (sighs) Pick up, Bryan.

- [Bryan] You've reached Bryan Loslee.

- Voicemail again.

(sighs) It must be off.

(solemn music)

- [Anne] Why, maybe to keep you away from these is why.

And to spare your mom from knowing

what a disappointment and failure you are.

- [Hope] Just think, maybe we can move forward

with our lives now.

Be thankful.

- [Collin] You need to stand up

and be the man that your father wasn't

and that your grandfather is having difficulty being.

(melancholy music)

(gentle music)

- Hello.

Hello.

(clanging)

Hey, you can't park here.

Hello.

Oh.

Oh no.

Yeah, yeah, I need an ambulance

at Roberts Park, right away.

(sirens blaring)

(gentle music)

- [James] I can't believe this, any of this, what you did.

- All right, that's enough already.

Give me a break.

- Give you a break.

You kept those pills as insurance

to use against Bryan in order to keep Breen,

and when the time was right you went straight for the kill.

You're a monster.

- Don't you dare talk to me that way.

- I had those pills, I had them with me.

The nursing home called me and so

I called Anne, she told me they were hers.

This all started because of those pills

and it's all my fault, why didn't I just not say anything?

- It's not your fault.

Okay, listen.

- You know that boy's only been clean a couple of weeks.

That's like setting a liquor bottle down

in front of an alcoholic who's been

to maybe one or two meetings.

Yeah well, crying's not gonna save you.

I don't buy your emotional tricks anymore.

And furthermore, I want you to know

if our grandson dies, this is all on you

and your twisted ways.

- It's not your fault.

None of this is your fault. - I just...

I love him so much and he's so good

and wonderful and kind and he cares so much

about everyone, truly he does

and he's tried to be strong for so long.

- I know he has fought his demon so long and so strong.

- At least I gave him a roof over his head.

That time he came out to see you,

you turned him away.

- Yeah well, that's because I was an idiot.

I wasn't thinking of anyone but myself.

But I do care about that boy,

regardless of what you might think.

- You say you care about him,

having barely been around him.

You have to understand my love for Breen

and why I did what I did.

I don't want to lose her.

- Listen, no matter how bleak this looks,

I promise God has his hand in this.

- You don't want to lose Breen,

yet you don't care that she might lose her son.

How deep does his pain have to be

that he thinks cutting deeper will help?

- And we must hang on in faith

and pray for a miracle.

- How is he, doctor?

- He lost a moderate amount of blood,

which we were easily able to stop.

However, he did not cut an artery,

so that's a good sign, but the wound is deep.

So he will need to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Just so we can check for infections or complications.

But he will need to remain here,

so they can have a psychiatric evaluation.

- Uh huh, thank you, doctor.

Thank you so much.

- Can we see him?

- Well, one at a time and only for a moment.

(gentle music)

- I'm here, right here.

Bryan, honey, can you hear me?

Please let me see your eyes.

Thank you, God.

Bryan, it's me, it's Hope.

You're in the hospital.

- Why?

- Okay, you're gonna be okay.

- Where's my mom?

- It's okay, we found her, she's safe.

- I messed up.

It's over.

- No, no, not at all.

- Grams.

I failed.

- Well Collin, this is how it was meant to be

for my family.

My ex has a secret that could affect us all,

Bryan's near suicide and my daughter's lost

in her own little world of chaos.

And I'm at strike two in relationships.

(sighs)

- I don't pretend to know the ways or hows of God.

What I do know, is that everything seems

to work for good for those who love the Lord.

- Well, that is what the good book says.

You know, Collin, none of it really matters,

not the ribbons or the dancing,

or any of our one time dreams.

The real dance goes on.

It's just too bad that it took all of us being alone

and getting here to figure it out.

- James, you're not really alone.

All you have to do is ask for the Lord.

Speak to him from your heart.

He's here.

(gentle music)

- [Hope] Bryan, this is just a setback.

- No, it's not just a setback.

Look at me. (crying)

I've no business starting a family and with you.

(melancholy music)

I don't deserve you.

- Stop.

- I'm so tired.

I'm so tired.

(sighs)

Wait. (crying)

Hope.

(crying)

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- [Anne] Thought you'd be here with the home wrecker.

- She's not here, not any more.

- Why'd you wanna meet me out here?

- [James] We need to talk.

- About?

- Doctor Watkins spoke to me.

- [Anne] Is it Bryan, is he okay?

- He's resting.

But she said under the circumstances we should talk,

she didn't say what about.

So do you wanna tell me what's going on?

- It's nothing, nothing at all.

- Don't tell me that.

I can tell by that look in your eyes

there's something wrong.

- Why can't you just leave it alone, James?

It doesn't concern you.

- Because I can't.

And it does concern me if it affects our daughter.

Now for the last time, Anne,

are you gonna tell me what's going on with you?

We need to get everything out in the open,

if we are all going to move forward.

- It's cancer, okay?

The cancer is back.

Satisfied?

- Well, it's not to the point

where it can't be treated, is it?

- I'm not having treatments or surgery.

- [James] Why?

- Why?

Everybody keeps trying to take Breen away.

If I have trouble with the treatments,

I'll probably lose her,

and I might as well be dead anyway.

I don't have anything else.

- That's not true, that's just not true.

You and I will always have Breen,

even if she's not with us.

We also have Bryan.

- We?

- Look, it's not about us anymore,

but it can still be about them.

I'm here for the family.

* Fare thee well a while

* And I will come again

(dramatic music)

- Breen honey, you have to be gentle

- Stop.

You shouldn't, you shouldn't do that.

- She's fine.

- I don't know what to say to you.

- Yeah.

- What I did was wrong.

I know that now.

But at the time it just made such sense.

By holding onto the pills--

- No.

I get it.

You know I hadn't taken those pills in a long time.

- But honey, why were you keeping the pills?

Help me to understand.

You know, you look like your mom.

And you've gone above and beyond

in trying to help take care of her.

But Bryan, she's mine, too.

I can't let her go.

- Even if you know it's what's best?

- I'm selfish, I know.

- Excuse me, my daughter has Alzheimer's

and her son is a patient here,

right there in room 341.

I have something really important to do

and I was wondering if you would mind

keeping an eye on her while I step out

for just a minute.

- Sure, I'll be happy to do that.

And you said that was your daughter with Alzheimer's?

- Yes.

- Yeah well, once you get past pronouncing that word,

you realize that was actually the easier part.

I'll be happy to look after her.

- Thanks.

(Anne crying) - Anne, what's wrong?

- Leave me alone, just let me go.

- Seriously.

- I can't do it, okay?

- Can't do what? - I just,

I just can't.

- Talk to me.

(gentle music)

- I can't let her go.

(crying) Dear merciful God in heaven, I know I need to.

I've known for a long time, but I just can't.

- Okay, it'll be all right.

Everything'll be all right.

Look, do you wanna really help Breen?

I mean really help her.

You've gotta get past your emotions

and fight the right battles.

The cancer, you know what to do.

- I don't want her with strangers.

People pointing and laughing.

Getting irritated with her.

She needs to be able to see Bryan.

- Look, just because she's getting care elsewhere,

it doesn't mean you've abandoned her.

You and I both know things between us

will never be like they were.

But I promise, I'll keep the family connected.

The entire family.

For her sake.

For all of us.

(crying)

(birds chirping) (gentle music)

- I'll write everyday.

- Oh, you don't have to do that.

- You don't want me to write?

- Well, don't be silly.

I just don't want you to waste all that money on postage.

Since I'll be living so close and all.

- I'm completely lost.

- [Hope] I took an apartment close to the rehab center.

- Okay, Mr. Loslee, here are the doctor's care instructions.

Now we've already gone over this,

but do you have any questions for me?

- No, thank you, nurse.

(gentle music)

Now what?

An apartment?

- Okay, look, I know our wedding plans are on hold

and just on hold, but you're still my soulmate

and I'm not going anywhere.

Let's just take things one day at a time

and don't even try talking me out of this, Bryan Loslee.

Besides, I've already paid my first month of rent.

(gentle music)

- You're too good to me.

- Let's get going.

- Grams, I...

- You don't have to explain.

The people at the center are really nice.

You just go and get better and hurry back to us, okay?

- Mom?

You stay strong, okay?

- So I like to come over for breakfast.

They have a very good breakfast plate here.

So how has things been?

- Can't complain.

Anne decided to go to Indy for treatments.

She's staying with her brother.

Bryan's doing well at that rehab center, Hope is nearby.

Still planning a wedding, just don't know when yet.

- I'll be ready.

- That just leaves me and my girl here.

For now we're just taking things day by day.

Learning to lean on God once again.

Gonna keep this family together for as long as we can.

I'm not losing Breen.

That's the goal.

- That's good to hear.

I'll be here if you need your vent.

I'm not the only one listening, you know?

Sometimes God has a way of blessing us

right out of our mess.

- Thanks for everything, Collin.

- My pleasure.
