[soft piano music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Are you nervous?

[Mark] Jacob?

Jacob, are you hiding?

[footsteps running]

-Jacob?
-[clattering]

[Jacob giggles]

Hmm.

I wonder where Jacob could be.

-[screams]
-Hey!

[laughs]

I got you.

Yeah, you got me. What are you
doing up in the attic?

You know you're not
supposed to be up here.

I, um, was hiding.

Yeah, well, why don't we get
your best man clothes on

so we can get this
show on the road?

No, thank you.

-[grunting]
-Whoa! Oh!

Hey, hey, hey.

The sooner we get this over with,
the sooner we can all have cake.

I don't wanna wear the tie.

You're gonna look really good
with the tie on.

You're gonna look like me.

Then I want
two pieces of cake.

Deal.

And I want a real train set with lights,
bridges, and houses.

You drive a hard bargain.

Let's go get married.
[grunts]

And now, Mark and Elizabeth
will recite their vows.

No pressure,
just pretend like we're not here.

[laughter]

I, uh...

Uh, summer
before law school,

I spent half my financial aid money
on a really expensive bike,

and then I crashed it in
some middle of nowhere trail.

But I was lucky because there was this
beautiful girl out hiking that day.

Me.

And she gave me
her whole pack of Life Savers.

[laughs]

And kissed me
to take my mind off the pain.

Thank you
for saving my life.

I vow to make it
up to you every day.

I was kinda hoping
you'd vow to fix up this house.

[all laughing]

Okay. Yeah, all right.
I'll do that, too.

[laughter]

And Elizabeth. Oh.

Hold that.

We had, um,
eight years, one child,

one unrealized dream house,
your law school,

and my MFA
to think about this whole marriage thing,

and now I don't know

why it took us so long,
because there is no me without you.

-Is that it? Are we married?
-[man] Yeah!

-Rings.
-Okay.

Okay, buddy.
All right.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

[softly] Okay.

It fits.

[Lenn] And now, by the power vested in me
by the Church of Universal Life

and by the Internet,
I finally pronounce you husband and wife.

And you're already kissing the bride,
so my work here is done.

-Time for cake!
-[guests cheering]

[both] Cake!

[excited chatter]

[laughter]

[congregation] Aw.

[indistinct chatter]

[congregation] Aw.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[whooping and cheering]

[giggles]

[screaming]

[romantic music playing]

Time for the honeymoon?

Yeah, it's time
for the honeymoon.

[indistinct chatter]

New interns?

I am so sorry.
[stutters]

It's parent-teacher
conference day

and I, I totally
missed the memo. But my sister's
on her way in to get them.

So... Guys.

-[Gwen snaps fingers]
-[toy monkey chiming]

Is that my monkey?

Um...

Riley, we don't take
things that are not ours. Okay?

That, that belongs to Mr. Bennett.
So let's please bring it inside.

Go on.

[chiming]

Thank you.

Sorry about that.
Let's go. Thank you.

[elevator dings]

[woman over PA] Mr. Johnson,
please report to the rec room.

Mr. Johnson, in the rec room.

[door opens]

Hi, Dad.
It's me. It's Mark.

I know.

I know my own son
when I see him.

Why you eating this crap?
It's all sugar.

-I thought you moved away.
-I did, Chicago.

But I'm back.

Been back a year.
How you doing?

I'm up for a promotion.
Head of the department.

Not sure I'm going
to take it, obviously.

I don't know
if I wanna manage a whole department.

You're retired, Dad.

You don't have
to manage anything.

That woman looks
just like Elizabeth. [female anchor] Coming up next,
author Elizabeth Welles

is celebrating a remarkable year
on the bestseller list for her memoir--

-[Mark] It is Elizabeth.
-...Upwelling, A Year By The Sea.

[indistinct chatter on tv]

What's she doing on TV?

She wrote a book.

Well, that's wonderful.
How is she?

We're divorced, Dad.

We've been divorced
for six years.

I hope you're not letting her
raise that boy all alone,

because a boy
needs his father.

Jacob's dead.

Seven years.

Seven years ago, today.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hey, Gary, what's up?

Hey, buddy, how's it going?

Look, I got some
bad news for you.

Your tenants moved out
in the middle of the night

and managed to trash the place

-before they went.
-They just moved in.

Gary, what is so hard
about finding a nice long-term tenant?

What can I say?
People are pigs.

Do you want me to list it again?
I can get a crew in there to clean up.

Sell it.

You sure?

Let me stop by,
pick up some stuff out of the attic.

I'll call you
when I'm done.

[bird cawing]

[grunts]

[Dash] Shoot.

Hey!

Hey!

-[Amy] What? What's going on? Huh?
-[groans]

[gasps] Oh, my God!
Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

I promised to take him fishing.
It's totally my fault.

-That's not a toy.
-Can I get you a Band-Aid?

Have you had
a tetanus shot in the last ten years?

You might want
to get a tetanus shot.

[Janice] Peggy?

Peg?

-What?
-Hey! Uh, is Peggy around?

No, Peggy is not around.
Who are you?

I'm Janice. I come in peace.

You know when she'll be back?

Never, by the look of things.

She and her boyfriend, Steve,

trashed the place
and skipped out on the rent.

-Are you the landlord?
-Owner.

You know where I can
find Peggy and Steve?

No. I had their
number in my phone,

but it bricked when I tried to
upgrade my operating system.

That is why I stopped by.

All right. Good night.

Well, is everything, um, okay?

-You know, with the house?
-Why?

Well, you said it was trashed

and I noticed
the broken windows.

What can I say?
People are pigs.

Yeah, well, just in case
you need to reach me, here's my card.

I'm a medium.

I was doing some
consulting for Peggy and Steve, you know.

So if you feel like
you need some consulting,

then you know
where to reach me.

Great.

I also walk dogs.

-You got dogs?
-No dogs.

Good night.

Okay. Good night.

[line ringing]

[voicemail] You've reached
Elizabeth Welles.

Please leave a message
and I'll return your call.

[beeps]

Uh, hi.

Elizabeth, Mark here.

I wanted to let you know that
I'm finally selling the house,

and there is a lot of stuff
up in the attic.

Uh, figured you might
want some of it. So, why don't you call me back
on this number, and I'll...

Shit.

[indistinct chatter]

[painting]

Oh, Mark. I've been
trying to call you.

-What...
-My phone is dead.

And there are some pictures
on here that I need.

All right. I will take care of it.
I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Listen. Don't go
in there yet.

Kate's in the conference room
with everyone already, okay?

They've been waiting for you.

[whispers]
Mark, are you all right?

Okay, um...

Here.

Eat these,
I'll tell them you'll be right in. Okay?

[Kate] We know your project
is on an accelerated schedule,

with extensive
environmental issues.

Our firm is prepared
to represent your interest

in every level of local
and state government.

Mark actually has a lot
of expertise in the area.

He used to counsel
the other side. Mark?

Mark?

[deep breath]

[exhales]

Hey. New phone.

They couldn't bring your old one
back to life,

but they recovered all your data.

Thank you.

You're, you're welcome.

[gasps softly]

Thanks for those Goldfish
and the Band-Aids.

How is your shoulder?
You okay?

Listen, I would appreciate it if you asked
your kid not to play in my house anymore.

Dash? In your house?

Yeah.

No, no. He stays here.

Sometimes he plays
out in the yard, but...

Well, someone was
running around in my attic last night.

[sighs]
Maybe you have rats.

[footsteps receeding]

[Mark clears throat]

Where's Mommy?

I miss Mommy.

[indistinct chatter]

-Elizabeth?
-Mmm-hmm?

-Someone's here.
-Hmm?

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
--Mark?

-I, uh... I called you.
-Wow.

Hi!

Did you get my messages?

I'm not sure.
I've just been... I've been, um...

Who is he?

Oh, um...

Uh, Emma, Isabelle,
this is my friend, Mark.

-Okay. Okay.
-[Mark] All right, just five minutes.

I'm gonna go over there.
Will you stay with Martha?

-[Martha] Come, ninas.
-[Emma] Go get the bubbles.

If it's about the house,
you don't need my permission.

I need to talk to you.

Look, I don't really
have time to chat.

It's your house now,
you bought me out.

I need you to come
out there with me.

I'm busy, Mark.
I'm working,

I have a deadline,
I have the girls.

It's important.
Elizabeth, it's about Jacob.

[girls laughing]

I don't need things
to remind me of my son.

It's been six years.
I don't ask you for anything.

Okay, um, obviously, there's
something going on with you.

Whatever it is,
I hope it works out.

Sell the house
or don't sell the house,

you do whatever
you need to do, okay?

Goodbye, Mark.

Girls, are you
almost ready for lunch?

Jacob?

I tried,
but your Mommy's...

On a trip.

So she can't
see you right now.

But she told me
to bring you a present.

You wanna see it?

Army men.

You always wanted
army men, but...

We never let you have them

because they're violent
and barbaric and probably toxic,

but all that seems
pretty stupid now.

So...

[can opening]

Army men.

[imitates gunfire]

All right, Mr. Bananas.

It's me or you.

[imitates explosion]

[imitates tank engine]

[vocalizing]

Stress.

Early onset dementia.

Accidental
mescaline ingestion.

Drunk, and drunk.

I lied. I want the stuff.

Cool. Good.

Come in.

Uh...

You want a drink?

Nice army men.

[sighs]

Thank you.

I thought you
stopped drinking.

I did, mostly.

Mostly...

I did.

[sighs]

I just want the stuff, Mark.

Is this it?
Did you already take what you wanted?

Yeah.

[soft rumbling]

-I gotta show you something.
-What are you doing?

-I gotta show you this.
-Mark!

Mark, stop it!

[thuds]

Boo!

[breathing heavily]

Boo, Mommy!

[giggles]

[Mark] Wait, that was him!

Elizabeth!

That was, that was Jacob!

Hey, he was there!

You didn't see him?

[grunts]

You're sick, Mark.
You get yourself some help.

-[car door closes]
-[engine revving]

[tires screech]

[spits]

[soft thud]

[footsteps running]

[thuds]

[grunts]

[groans]

Jacob.

[ball bouncing]

[sighs]

[Dash] Hey.

Hey.

[groggily] Hey.

I know I'm not supposed to be in
your house, but the door was wide open.

And I wanted to see
if you were dead.

[groans]

[liquid pouring]

Thanks.

She hit you really hard.

I'll live.

Keep your hands up in front
of your face, like this.

If she wants to fight again.

Who taught you that?

My taekwondo teacher.

It's a good tip.

Is she your girlfriend?

My wife.

We're divorced.

My parents are divorced.

I don't see my dad.

He doesn't like kids.

I'm sure that's not true.

-I don't think you like kids, either.
-I like kids.

Why don't you have any?

I did. I had a son.

He died when he was five.

My cat died last year.

He had eye cancer.

What happened to your son?

[inhales deeply]

[sirens wailing in distance]

Car crash.

It was raining, I swerved.

He was thrown from his
booster seat and his head hit the glass.

It happened fast.

I always wear my seat belt.

Even on the school bus.
All the other kids make fun of me.

Fuck 'em.

[laughs]

[Amy] Dash, it's time for school.

Look, don't, don't
tell my mom I'm here.

[Mark] So, uh, you're a dog
walker/medium, huh?

I walk dogs
on the side.

It's good money, it's steady
work, plus dogs are awesome.

Unlike people.

[Janice whistles]

So, what's going on?

I saw my dead son.
In the house.

You saw him?

You didn't conjure him,
did you?

No.

You have a brain tumor or
some other terminal condition?

Not that I'm aware of, no.

Family history
of mental illness?

My father has dementia.

Technically, that's a cognitive disorder,
not a mental illness, so...

[exclaims]

What did he want?
What, what did you talk about?

It wasn't exactly
a conversation, but...

Uh...

He wants his mother.

Hmm, well, bring her to him.

I tried, and, um, she
didn't believe it was him.

[laughs]

Then I guess it's up to you.

What is up to me?

Your son is dead.

So, what is he doing here
in the land of the living?

Maybe he's lost. Maybe he has
some unfinished business.

What kind of unfinished
business could a five-year-old have?

How should I know?
I'm not a child psychiatrist.

The point is, he needs you
to help him move on.

What if I don't want him
to move on?

Your son does not belong here.

He's lost.

And he needs
something from you.

You need to ask him
what he wants. Be direct.

And then give it to him.

Okay.

Good luck.

-Hey.
-[gasps]

My room's all back.

My fort!

You made this train.

I remember.

I stayed up all night sanding, so I could
give it to you on your birthday.

Can I ask you something?

Okay.

Do you know
why you're here?

I lived here.

Do you need
something from me?

You promised me you would get me
a real train set that runs by itself,

with bridges, lights,
and little houses.

I did?

At the wedding.

That rings a bell.

When's Mommy coming back?

It might just be you
and me for a while, buddy.

Mommy can't see you
like I can.

Yes, she can.
She's just afraid.

[indistinct shouting and chattering]

-I just want to talk.
-Talk to a shrink.

Will you please come back
to the house with me?

You don't believe in God,
now you believe in ghosts?

He says you knew
it was him.

-You were drunk.
-But you weren't.

I can't explain it.

I don't know why
he's here. But he is.

And he's asking for you.

[children screaming and playing]

You can't touch him.

[door creaking]

[xylophone playing]

[door closes]

Mommy! I knew you'd come.

Elizabeth,
you can't touch him.

[gasps]

How is this possible?

[continues playing xylophone]

Again?

-What?
-Again?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

[Jacob playing xylophone]

[laughs]

I don't understand.

[chuckles]

I mean, what?

I know.

[chuckles]

He's got his little tooth.

He never...

He never lost his tooth.

Yeah, he's got
that sweet tooth.

Oh, my God.

He's so funny,
isn't he?

He is. Yeah, he is.

[Mark laughs]

I guess I'll get some
stuff and come back in the morning?

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna tell Smith
that I need an office outside the house

and that I'm working on
a follow up to my book, so...

So maybe we can switch off.

I can take the days since you have to go
to the office, and you can have the nights

and the weekends. Okay?

Okay.

[sighs]

[Elizabeth]
What else should we make?

Rocket ship.

Rocket ship?

-Yep, rocket ship.
-Rocket ship it is!

Okay, here it comes.

[imitates rocket launch]

Okay, there's the, that part.

Jets.

Now we need some fire
at the bottom and some boosters.

Okay. Boosters.

Okay. What do you think?

It looks more
like a popsicle.

[laughs]

[Mark] I was gone
for a few days.

Five days.

Hundred and twenty
billable hours.

So what's going on?

You've been with us
for how long, six years now?

Three different cities.

You're a machine.

I love that.
But I have to be able to depend on you.

[Mark] How did it go today?

[Elizabeth] Good.
It was really good.

-So you're taking off?
-Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.

You used to make
monsters on the wall with your hands.

Like this?

[Mark imitates barking]

-[howling]
-[laughs]

[both laughing]

Here is my two-mouthed bulldog.

[both growling] Hello?

[Jacob and Elizabeth
speaking indistinctly]

Mark? You're
supposed to be at work.

-I quit.
-You quit?

So, what? You're just,
you're just planning to...

Spend some time here.

As long as he's here,
I'm gonna be with him.

What's going on up there?
What's he up to today?

What's the problem?

Can't stand to be in
the same house with me?

I need time.
That's the problem.

You don't get to take him
away from me again.

I'm not taking him away.

What are you talking about?
I have no idea what you're talking about.

You took him away from me.

You wouldn't talk about him,
you put away his pictures,

-you wouldn't celebrate his birthday.
-Because he was gone.

You put everything into a little box,
and you wouldn't let me in.

You forgot him!

You just sat in your chair and drank
your whiskey, and you forgot everything.

I didn't forget.

-You left me all alone!
-No, that was you.

You're the one who left, you walked out
that door and never came back!

Because I didn't wanna
watch you drown yourself in denial.

But I didn't drown, did I?

Hey, maybe it wasn't pretty and spiritual
and poetic, but I got through just fine.

You wanted to punish me.
You still do.

-What are you talking about?
-It wasn't my fault!

-So it was my fault?
-[shouts] Yes!

-Because I swerved for a dog?
-You were driving too fast!

It was raining!

Well, you should've
hit the goddamn dog!

How hard is it to buckle
a goddamn seat belt?

-[both gasping]
-[glass shattering]

[both breathing heavily]

[footsteps approaching]

I want it to be like before.

-Okay.
-Okay.

[Mark] We'll clean it up.

No, I want you
to be like before.

Hold hands.

Now you could
read me a story.

"No sooner had
Pinocchio got into bed,

"then he fell asleep at once
and began to dream.

"And he dreamt that he was
in the middle of a field

"and the field was full of vines
covered with clusters of gold coins,

"and as they swung in the wind
they went zin, zin, zin,

"almost as if
they would say,

'Let who will,
come and take us.'"

Okay.

-Okay?
-That's enough.

-Oh, you're cut. Your neck is cut.
-Hmm?

God, I loved this house.

Me too.

Oh, come on. No, you didn't.
You hated this house.

You're wrong.

I just felt bad that
I never fixed it up.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to leave.

I just felt like
I didn't have a choice.

-Truce?
-Truce.

[Jacob in sing-song]
No more sleeping!

Time to get up!

Time to get up!

[Mark groans]

Hey.

-Monkey, no jumping.
-[chuckles] Why not?

[chuckles] Yeah.

You're right,
why not jump on the bed?

Maybe we should
both jump on the bed.

Why don't we both
jump on the bed?

No, no, you're too big!

You would break it.

Yeah, you're right.

Good call.

-Hey, buddy.
-What?

Yesterday,
did you do that?

Did you break the glass
and throw the toys?

You can't do that anymore.

It's dangerous.
Someone could get hurt.

You shouldn't fight.

We're working on it.

I'm serious, Jacob.
No more wig outs, okay?

Okay.

I pushed the button.

It's okay.

Just don't do it again.

Rematch!

[grunts] Whoa! Whoa!

-[grunting]
-[laughing]

[Mark] Rematch. [yelling]

Oh, my God.

Oh, what's that?

I started this list
before he was born.

All the things I wanted
to do with him.

-I thought I lost it.
-Hmm.

"Ride a cable car,

watch shooting stars
from the desert,

hike to Yosemite Falls,

teach him to make
sun catchers,

watch the sun go down
over the ocean

and see the green flash,"

which somebody
told me was blue because he's color blind.

Wow.

It's long.

Mmm.

I thought we'd have more time.

-A little...
-Where do you want it, here?

How about the top?

You know, my mom and I
used to make sun catchers

when I was your age.

You probably don't
remember your grandma.

You were so little
when she died.

I know. I was just a baby.

You were.

Nice.

Yeah, I think that's good.

Except for
one finishing touch.

Okay.

All right,
what do you think?

-Good?
-It's perfect.

Perfect.

I pushed the button.

Yes, you did.

Yeah, bake.
Should we set the timer?

Okay. Where is the timer?

[toy train hoots]

[toy signal chiming]

We don't have
everything in stock,

but I can order
anything you see.

I'll take the whole set.

Daddy went to buy me
a real train set.

With lights and houses.

I don't know anything
about real trains.

That's between
you and Daddy.

Hey. Which blue do you like?

Do you like Pale Winter Dreams

-or Arctic Adventure?
-[door creaks]

Maybe Blueberry Crush,
what do you think?

You okay?

[door creaks]

Mark?

Stay right here. Okay?

There was someone
or something in the house.

Did you see anything?

No.

Oh, Elizabeth.

-What?
-You, you blew a gasket.

-What?
-Your nose.

Are you okay?
Here, give me.

Yeah. Oh, shit.

[sighs]

Was I supposed to buy the kind
of paint without the lead?

You're not supposed to eat it.

[chuckles]

[sobbing]

I just want to hold him,
you know?

[thunder rumbling]

His skin was so soft

and he was always so warm,
even in the winter.

-[sniffles]
-Like a little furnace.

I need him to stay.

How come she doesn't
sleep here at night?

What am I, chopped liver?

You are chopped
monkey guts.

Hey, you're chopped
mealworms.

You're chopped orca brains.

She has other kids now.

Yeah, she does.

But she loves you

very much.

She loves you, too.

She just forgot.

[thunder rumbling]

[Emma] Elizabeth?

I can't sleep.

Let's get you in here.

Is Daddy home?

He'll be home soon.

Okay.

You wanna see
what I was looking at?

Yes.

Ready? Here it is.

Yeah.

-Is this from your other wedding?
-Mmm-hmm.

[Elizabeth] There's me.

That's the decoration.

Is that the man
who came to the house?

Mmm-hmm.

He was my husband.

I know.

Is that your son?

Yeah, that's Jacob.

He's cute.

[chuckles] Yeah, he's cute.

He looks like you.

-He does, doesn't he?
-Yeah.

Mmm.

I look like my mom, too.

Yes, you do.

Is that good?

[door opens]

It won't happen again,
cross my heart,

'cause I'm gonna set
two alarms now.

Stop worrying
about it, Smith. It's not a big deal.

Okay, I'll talk
to you later.

I love you, too. Bye.

[driller whirring]

Where have you been?

The paint store.

Oh, first I slept
through the alarm,

then I took the girls to get
donuts and then school.

Obviously, they were
late but, like,

by a half an hour,
so what's the big deal?

You usually come earlier.

Well, I got stuff, Mark,
responsibilities.

Not everybody's
blissfully unattached.

I'm sorry,
that was unnecessary.

I get it. You have a life.

[sighs]

Sometimes I think
you had the right idea.

To just forget everything.

Seems like you got everything
you wanted, Elizabeth.

Reliable husband,

two cute kids, house that
doesn't need fixing up.

You let all the cold,
hard grief pass through you,

and leave space
for the happiness to grow.

So you read my book?

Yeah, I read it.

I used to read
everything you wrote.

I remember.

I just didn't think
you'd wanna read it.

Yeah, I wanted to know.

Know what?

How you got through it.

Well... [chuckles softly]

...don't believe everything you read.

Any part in particular?

I don't know.

All of it, maybe.
[chuckles]

I thought I had
gotten through it, but...

[chuckles]

That book is just a lie
that I told myself

and I wrote it down
and I told it to everybody else.

That's disappointing.

Here, I thought you had
everything figured out.

[sighs]

Well... [laughs]

No. [chuckles]

Nope.

You deserve to be happy.

[thuds]

[Jacob] No!

He hit his head
on the window.

He's broken.

Do you think it hurt?

No, I think it
happened really fast.

What do you think?

It didn't hurt.

We have to have a funeral.

God bless this bird.

She was so good at flying,

except for today.
[chuckles]

She'll miss migrating south
and laying eggs.

We're really sad
to see her go.

Thanks for everything.

Um, God bless you. Amen.

Amen. [chuckles softly]

[sniffles]

[Amy] Mark? -Hey!
-Hi!

Hi! I'm Amy, we
haven't officially met.

Hi.

Um, I know this is
a total imposition,

but is there any way
you can watch Dash?

My sitter just called,
and she's got food poisoning,

and I tried to find somebody
at the hospital to cover my shift,

but I couldn't.

Um, I promise, I will
make it up to you.

-Yeah, sure.
-[Amy] Thank you!

[Dash] I'm coming over.

-[Amy] Oh, thank you so much.
-[Mark] What's up, buddy?

Well, my pole broke
when I was trying to use it as a catapult.

Yeah, I see that. -[Amy] You got him?
-Come here, chief.

-AMY; Okay.
-Hey!

Fixed up pretty good
with super glue and duct tape though.

Yeah, it's all right.

[Elizabeth] Do you think
he's a crust or a no crust guy?

No crust.

Yeah.

I want, I want to play.

I'll play with you.

Do you wanna go upstairs
and play in your fort?

I wanna play outside
with Daddy and Dash.

[Mark] When you're fishing,
you just gotta go like this.

Gonna shoot it like that.

[crying]

[sighs] Jacob.

Jacob?

[Jacob] I don't wanna go yet.

Jacob?

I'm staying with Daddy, too.

Ow.

[inhales sharply]

Jacob?

Jacob, what's happening?

Jacob, who are
you talking to?

Her.

[gasps and screams]

[Jacob] Daddy!

Liz?

Hey, what happened?

Mommy fell.

Hey? Hey, are you okay?

Are you all right?

-Someone was here.
-What?

Someone was here.

[Elizabeth groans]

I don't see anything. She was right...

It was...

It was right there.

You all right?
Liz, look at me.

Are you okay?

[music playing on radio]

[dishes clatter]

Beat it.
Let me get the rest.

I can do it.

Hey, go sit down.

I'll dry.

Knock, knock.
Hi, sorry, I, um...

I tried the front door.

No one answered,
so I just came around the back.

That's okay.
That's cool.

I'm really sorry.

You know...
Oh, Dash is,

he's sleeping
on the couch in here.

Oh, okay. Thanks. Sorry.

I owe you one.

It's fine. [chuckles]

♪ At my command, my love ♪

Ooh!

Buddy, can I ask
you something?

Your mom saw someone
in the house today.

Did you see it, too?

Monkey, was someone
in the house today?

Not just today.

I don't know what
you want from me.

I told you
to send him back.

But did you do that?

No.

Instead, you're playing
house with him.

I did what you
told me to do.

I asked him why he was here.

I asked him what he wanted.

He won't answer me.

I don't wanna hand out
parenting tips,

but even I know you gotta
ask a five-year-old,

like, fifteen times
before you get an answer.

How hard are you really
trying to send him on his way?

What if he wants to stay?

You want him to stay.

Is it possible to close
whatever door he's opened?

Yeah.

Let him go. Send him back.

That's how you
close the door.

Hey, Mark, why are there two dogs
tied up on the porch?

You must be the ex.

-I'm Janice.
-Hi.

She lives
in the neighborhood.

-She's a dog walker.
-Oh.

I'm more
of a medium, actually.

Spiritual advisement
and such.

The dog-walking thing
is on the side.

Mark told me
about your visitor.

No offense, but that's really
none of your business.

I'm so sorry
about your little boy.

And I know it must feel like a miracle
just to lay eyes on him again,

but just so you know,
you can't keep him here.

Please leave.

This world
is for the living.

Get out of my house now!

Uh, you know
where to find me.

You want to send him away?

-No, I don't. I'm just...
-Where is he?

Jacob!

Jacob!

Jacob, answer me!

Look, Mommy,
I have my sand castle bucket.

I see that.

Can we go to the beach?

I don't know if you can.

Last one to the car
is a rotten egg!

What are we waiting for?
Let's go.

Yay, we're at the beach!

I wanna build a giant sand
castle as tall as the sky!

[laughing]

[indistinct chattering]

[yelps]

[Elizabeth whoops]

[laughs]

[squeals]

[laughs]

[seagulls calling]

I don't understand
any of this.

Maybe he'll stay forever.

Maybe he's an angel.

[Elizabeth] So you're
bunking with Dad now?

[Jacob] Right.

[Elizabeth]
Where's Mr. Bananas? Here he is.

Here you go. Good night. You could stay.

-Please stay?
-[Elizabeth] Um...

Please, please, please?
With extra cheese.

Okay. But just
for a little while.

Can you read me a story?

Well, um, just so
happen to have Pinocchio right here.

[groans]

Shit.

[sighs]

[water running]

[exhales]

You okay? Just dying of thirst.

I fell asleep.

Yeah, me too.

I should go.

Don't go.

[moaning]

[breathing heavily]

[moaning]

[whispering]
Are you sorry?

-I'll see you later.
-Yeah.

Be back soon, okay?

Newspaper.
[chuckles]

How's the book coming?

Smith?

What are you doing here?

Uh...

You told me he destroyed
your life, so... [scoffing]

What?

This is what you want now? -No, it's...
-Someone who, uh,

abandons you,
who's, uh, selfish,

who destroys things?

It's more complicated
than that.

Yeah? Okay, what's
complicated about it?

Can we talk
about this at home?

No. Tell me right now.

Please.

I can't. [crying]

Fine, you know what,
just stay.

I'll figure out something
to tell the girls.

My girls. -Smith, wait!
-[engine starts]

Wait. [grunts]

-Wait.
-[tires screeches]

[sobbing]

Oh, God.

Okay.

[engine starting]

[tires screech]

[imitates swishing]

When's the real train coming?

How soon do you need it?

Soon.

When's Mommy coming back?

I don't know.

Daddy?

Yeah?

I pushed the button.

What button?

Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

What button?

The red button
on the strap.

I wanted to touch the rain,
but I couldn't reach.

You took off your seat belt?

You're not mad? Is that why you're here?

It wasn't her fault.

[softly] I know that.

But she doesn't know that.

[door opens]

Mommy!

I told him that I was
going through some stuff

and that I needed some time
to sort things out.

What did he say?

Doesn't matter.

I'm here.

I wanna be here.

Can I ask you something?

Maybe.

Did you come back
for Jacob or for me?

I just wanna be happy,
Mark. Okay?

Let's try and be happy.

Happy birthday, Dad.

[laughing]

Come on, make a wish.

I know
about the surprise.

What surprise?

The party your
mother's throwing for me tonight.

I've told her
a thousand times

I hate a fuss,
but you know how she is.

-She loves a party.
-Mmm-hmm.

-Huh?
-[chuckles]

-Oh, you want your present?
-Mmm-hmm.

[clears throat]

Yeah.

Oh.

It looks like
the real thing.

I know there's no party.

Your mother's been
gone for years.

Heart attack.

That's okay, Pop.

We're having
a party right now.

Maybe next week
Jacob will come by.

Jacob's gone, too.

You're a good son.

[Jacob] We were camping.

[Elizabeth] I can't believe
you remember that.

-[Jacob] That's me.
-Right.

What's "upwelling"?

What?

That's your book.
What's it mean?

Oh. Well,
it's when the current pushes the dark,

cold water from the bottom of the ocean
all the way up to the surface,

and it wipes out all the worn
out water and feeds it nutrients and food.

Even though
it's cold and dark?

That's right.
Mmm-hmm.

You shouldn't be afraid.

I'm not.

[door creaking]

Okay.

Jacob?

[Elizabeth] Oh, my God.

[laughing]

What's going on?

Look, it's my mom.

It was my mom
in the house all along.

She's trying to say
something to me.

Elizabeth, come on.
It's just us.

No, she's right there.
She's right by the door.

She's trying to say so...

Elizabeth! Hey!
Elizabeth, what's going on?

No, I'm okay.

Hey! Oh, no.
You're not okay.

Elizabeth? Elizabeth,
what's wrong?

Help.

Help. It's okay, Liz.
Stay with me.

Help! I need some help.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

-[gasps]
-[Amy] Hey.

-Hi.
-I heard your wife was brought in.

Yeah.

Come on, I'll take
you to see her.

Here you go.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

[door closes]

What's going on?

I stopped taking
my anti-depressants. Cold turkey.

Stupid, I know.

Apparently,
I'm in withdrawal. [chuckles]

Have you ever heard
of a brain shiver?

It's like this tiny jolt
of electricity zapping through your brain,

and then, boom.
Lights out.

-And that's it?
-That's it.

Just need a little R and R
and I'll be good as new.

You ready to beam me
out of here?

-Yeah, I'll get the car.
-Okay.

Hey! My trains came.

[chuckles]

I'm going to go
take a rest, okay?

Okay.

Wow. You've been busy.

I went on a train.

By myself.

You did?

It was a long ride.

Where was it goin'?

Everywhere.

Mommy's coming
with me next time.

What do you mean?

She's coming with me.

[footsteps approaching]

[door closes]

Are you sick?

Don't bullshit me.

Tell me what
the doctor said.

T-cell prolymphocytic
leukemia.

What? What does it...
What does that mean?

It doesn't mean
anything good.

Elizabeth!

Very aggressive
and very advanced.

[breathes heavily]

I was sick before.

What? When?

Right after Smith
and I got married.

Why didn't you call me?

What was I supposed to say?

"Hi, I married someone else.
I might be dying"?

I thought I'd beat it, so...

[breathing heavily]

Okay.

So, what happens now?

I mean...

When do you start treatment?

I don't.

What are you talking about?

I'm not gonna get
better this time.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do.

Look, there has
to be something!

I don't want what
they're offering me.

It's not gonna save me,

it's just going to make
the time I have left a living hell.

Please understand that.

No. No.

[crying]

[sniffles]

Jacob told me something.

He said he took off
his seat belt.

He took off his seat belt
before the crash.

[crying]

It wasn't your fault.

It was nobody's fault.

-[sobbing]
-Come here.

[sobbing]

[crying]

Seed bombs.

I wanted wildflowers at the wedding
so I threw a bunch of seed bombs,

because I suck at gardening.

And they worked.

And they're still working.

Remember you
had to get Jacob out of the attic?

Yeah. He wouldn't
put his tie on.

And that dog
barked the whole time.

[chuckles]

[dog barking]

The dog barked
through the whole wedding.

[laughs]

I was scared
I'd mess it all up.

Well, we did.

[both laughing]

But we got it back.

Thank you for picking me.

I promise to always
tell you the truth.

I vow to love you.

And I vow to forgive you.

I vow to be a good father
to our boy.

[breathing heavily]

I vow to make you laugh.

[laughs]

Tell the bike trail story.

And don't forget
the Life Savers.

At least I got
that part right.

We are so lucky. [crying]

Please don't forget that.

Don't forget.

[toy train whirring and hooting]

Hey.

Hey.

Guess what?

Caught two rainbow
trout yesterday.

Oh, yeah?

Mom took me fishing
for my birthday.

-Happy birthday.
-Thanks.

Having a party on Saturday.

Cake, clowns, balloons.

It's kind of baby-ish,
but it makes my mom happy.

You can come
if you want to.

Okay.

Really?

Yeah, I like cake.

Do you still have the train?

Yeah.

Do you wanna
go inside and look at it?
