(guitar music)

- You doin' okay?

You're gonna be fine.

You just gotta take it one day at a time.

- Honey, you were great, really.

I'm just saying that,

if you wanna make this a career,

you need to give it more of a push.

You know, get a little more polish.

- She just finished.

and she won the talent show.

Maybe this can wait 'til tomorrow.

- I'm just saying, she's really good.

She could play with some of the greats.

But, if you're gonna focus on

talent shows and school contests,

you're not gonna make it to--

- Tomorrow, honey.

Let's just wait until tomorrow.

- Okay, sorry.

Nice job, Haleybird.

- Thanks, Mom.

(horn blares)

- You sure you don't want anything?

- What if it hits me in the face?

- It won't hit you in the face.

- Okay, I'm just going to tell you,

if you hit me in the face, we'll go straight to court.

My mom is a lawyer and she said

that if I ever get hit in the face we can sue you.

- It's good that I have insurance.

Let's just try one anyway, you ready?

Step and touch.

Good.

Step and touch.

Nice.

Look at that, no legal problems at all.

Jennifer, you ready?

Step and touch, oh.

Step and touch, excellent.

- Ted.

- Michael!

Hang on one second, kids, okay?

Hey, man, what are you doing here?

- You didn't get my voicemail?

- No, I just got my phone back this morning.

I got, like, 43 messages.

- [Michael] You have someplace we can talk?

- Yeah.

Hang on one second, let me just...

Hey, kiddos, we got to pick 'em up, okay?

What?

- It's your brother and Kim.

There was a car accident.

- What?

Wait.

- [Michael] Man, I hate this with all my heart.

- They're dead?

- Yes.

- Haley?

- [Micheal] She's fine.

But, she was in the backseat.

- Oh, God.

- I'm really sorry, man.

- I hadn't seem him in over a year.

We were supposed to fishin' next month.

- He told me about the trip, he was excited.

Haley's in my car.

I couldn't get you on the phone.

- Okay, sorry, it's a mess.

Just hang on one sec.

Just one sec, let me just get this.

You can sit right there, kiddo.

So, you're getting the guest room.

Are you hungry?

Haley?

Okay, you know what?

I can order a pizza in a little while.

And, if you get hungry later,

you can just stick it in the microwave,

or if you like it cold.

Carter's gonna be home after dinner.

Alright, I'm just gonna.

Oh, and I have tea and water.

I'll be right back.

(gentle guitar music)

Okay, so I'm just gonna set the...

(knocking on glass)

- Pizza, dude.

It's $14.47.

- Just keep it.

- Word?

- Yeah.

- Thanks, dude.

Have a good one. - Thanks.

- Hey, dad.

- Hey, buddy.

- You got pizza?

I had to eat meat loaf. - Shh.

- Haley's sleepin', okay?

- Haley, why is she here?

- Well, hey, buddy, listen,

you gotta be real quiet, okay?

Can we talk in your room?

Let's go upstairs, okay?

- Can I have a piece?

- Yeah, you can have a piece.

(gentle guitar music)

How's school?

- Good.

- Yeah?

- I got to sit beside to Abby today.

- Oh yeah?

- Mm-Hmm.

- You guys an item now?

- Not really.

- Yeah?

Something bad happened, buddy.

Something really bad.

- What happened?

- Uncle Cory and Aunt Kim were in an accident.

- Are they okay?

- No.

They died, buddy.

- They died?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry for you, too.

- Thank you, buddy.

(knocking on door)

Wake up, big guy, time for school.

(gentle guitar music)

What do you want for breakfast?

- Cereal.

- Okay.

Hey, remember, Haley's sleeping downstairs, so.

Alright, get dressed.

Hey, we got an early mornin'.

We got a long drive, okay?

So. we are gonna go to bed tonight.

- Okay.

Can I have an icee?

- Yeah, you can have an icee.

- Yes!

- You want blue, purple, or orange?

- [Carter] Purple.

Do you want one?

- Not tonight, bud.

(gentle guitar music)

Haley?

Why don't you get up and get a shower and get dressed.

We'll get on the road.

We'll be sitting around and then after,

we'll probably have to talk to some people.

Hey kiddo, You look nice.

- Yeah, you look real nice.

- Let's go.

(gentle instrumental music)

- Who is he that condemneth?

It is Christ that died.

Yea, rather, that is risen again.

Who is even at the right hand of God.

Who also maketh intersession for us?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Shall tribulation or distress,

or persecution, or famine,

or nakedness, or peril or sword?

As it is written,

for thy sake we are killed all the day long.

We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors

through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded that neither death,

nor life, nor angels or principalities.

Which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

- So, I'm gonna read this part of the will.

"If anything were to happen to my wife and I,

"and god forbid Haley was left alone,

"we would wish custody to go to my mother first,

"and in the event that she is passed,

"we would like for Haley to live with her Uncle Chad.

"If this is not feasible,

"alternative measures may be taken,

"but our wish would be that she stay with family."

And Haley, I have a note that I'm to read you now.

"Haleybird,

"We love you very much and you've made us proud

"every day we have known you.

"Please know that we will love you forever,

"no matter where we are.

"You are such a wonderful person.

"We are so eternally proud of you.

"We love you.

"Mom and Dad."

- Is that it, Michael?

We should probably get on the road.

- You and I can talk later.

- Ready, Haley?

Let's go.

(gentle instrumental music)

- Need a beer, Dad?

- Yeah, buddy, I need a beer.

You want to get a milkshake?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I'm going to check on Haley.

Get your shoes on.

(gentle guitar music)

We'll be back soon, okay?

(laughter)

- [Joanne] Uh-oh, it's the Thompson boys.

- [Chad] Hey there Joanne, how are you?

- Hey, Miss Joanne. - Hi.

- [Chad] You got time for a couple more?

- Are you okay, Dad?

- Yeah, I'm okay, buddy.

- Dude, are you done with that already?

- [Carter] Oh, yeah.

- You want anything else?

- Cheeseburger?

- Really?

- Yeah, with mustard.

- You and mom and that mustard, blech.

Cheeseburger with mustard. - Alright.

- Do you miss her?

- Mom?

- [Carter] Yeah.

- Yeah, sometimes.

But, I'm okay.

You?

- I'm okay.

- How are things with Abby?

- [Carter] Tough.

- How come?

- I think she's too young.

- How old is she?

- 10.

(laughter)

(gentle guitar music)

- No!

No!

Hey, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, God.

Haley, come on, wake up.

Hello, hello?

My niece has taken a lot of Vicodin

Carter, give me her arm, Carter.

Give me her arm.

Yeah, I think so, barely.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's gonna be okay.

Come on, bud.

- Are you Chad? - Yes.

- Are you related to her?

- I'm her uncle.

- Did she only take Vicodin?

- [Chad] Uh, yes.

- Dosage?

- [Chad] Seven and a half milligrams.

- About how many?

- Half a bottle.

- [Doctor] We'll take care of it.

- Thanks.

(machine beeping)

- She's gonna be okay.

She's stabilizing fine.

I bet she threw up most of it,

and you got her here pretty quickly.

If she hadn't thrown up, she would be dead.

Okay, so, she'll have to spend a night in ICU,

and then we'll move her, so she'll be asleep for a while.

- Thanks so much, Doc.

- Sure, no problem.

I'm just glad we were able to get to her in time.

Dr. Davis here is our psychiatric specialist,

and she'll need to talk to you before you can talk to Haley.

Alright. - Thanks again.

- Sure, all the best. - Thanks.

- Mr. Thompson.

I'm Dr. Kacy Davis.

I am so sorry all this is happening.

- [Chad] Thank you.

This is Carter. - Hi, Carter.

I need to get some information from you.

- [Chad] Okay, sure.

- Can you tell me what happened?

- Yeah, he and I went for ice cream,

and she was sleepin',

and when I came home she was in my room on the bed.

She'd thrown up and my Vicodin was next to her,

and then I raced her here.

- Try to relax.

We're gonna keep her here involuntarily

for the next 72 hours.

That's hospital policy with suicide attempts.

And, you can go see her for a few minutes if you want,

but I also wanna suggest

that you just leave her here with us

for the next 72 hours in the psych ward.

She's been through quite an ordeal.

Some down time might help her recover.

- Okay.

Would you mind watching this guy

for a few minutes while I-- - Sure.

- Okay, thanks.

I'll be right back, okay buddy?

- It's Carter, right? - Yes, ma'am.

- Hey, Carter, you doin' okay?

- Yeah.

(machines beep)

- How old are you?

You're gonna have to start talking

to anyone.

Otherwise, no one can help you.

It starts with just one word.

Okay.

I'm gonna give you a break for now.

You can go back to your room.

(heavy breathing)

- Excuse me, Doc?

- Chad?

Hi. - Hi.

- Can I help you?

- I was wondering if it would be possible

for me to talk to Haley for just a minute?

- I thought we agreed we'd give her the time here

to be by herself?

- We did.

I just, I thought about it

and I would love to talk to her

just for a couple of minutes.

If you don't think it's a good idea, I won't.

I just-- - No, no, it's okay,

for a few minutes.

- [Chad] Promise.

- Alright.

Be right back. - OK.

- This way.

(knocking)

- Hey, kiddo.

How you feelin'?

Listen, the doctor lady says you have some time

to yourself for a couple of days while you're here,

and I think you should have some time for yourself.

But I just, I wanted to come by

and say a couple things, and then I'll leave you alone.

The first thing is that I fixed up your bedroom.

I think it's nice.

It's a little smaller than probably you're used to but.

And the second thing is that I talked

to my boss, Alan, and he said

that I can come in at 9:00 on some mornings,

so I can take you to school,

or if you want to start school.

You don't have to, when you're ready.

Or we can just have breakfast.

And the last thing is I'm really sorry

that I let that happen to you last night.

I should have been watching you.

Your dad would not be happy with me.

And one more thing.

I really miss your dad and your mom, of course.

I know that I haven't been the best uncle,

and I was just thinking about how you must feel,

lost and alone and all that and then some.

I know you don't know me that well.

I just thought that if you and me,

if we had somebody that we love so much in common,

that maybe we have some other stuff in common too.

And I'm not trying to tell you to move on

or get over it or anything like that.

I just want you to know that I miss 'em too.

Okay, I'm going to go.

So, I'll pick you up on Thursday Haleybird.

- Okay.

- Okay, I'll see you Thursday.

(gentle instrumental music)

(eerie whistling)

- Dad?

Mom?

- That's Max.

She doesn't talk to anybody.

She was raped and then slit her wrists,

but her sister found her in time.

Probably quieted down a bit too after that.

What happened to you?

You don't have to tell me.

- What?

- What happened to you?

Did life really get that bad?

- My parents died in a car wreck.

- I'm sorry.

Are you going to a foster home?

- No, my uncle's.

- That's good that you have him.

- Yeah.

- What?

- Nothing.

- Well, he's someone.

At least someone cares.

- How do you know?

- He was the guy here yesterday.

I saw his face.

I'm happy you survived.

And you go home tomorrow, right?

I have two more months here.

I burned down a house.

Whoops.

(gentle instrumental music)

- It's a really important time for her.

She's got to push through and get things

moving in her life again, school, et cetera.

Does she have any hobbies?

- Yeah, she plays the piano.

- [Doctor] Okay, good.

We've started her on this.

Make sure she continues to take it at home.

It's going to help with her stress and anxiety response.

- Sounds good.

- And here is my emergency contact

and a prescription for six months of refills.

- [Chad] Okay.

- Okay, why don't you go get her?

- Thanks.

You ready?

(gentle instrumental music)

- I know you do, Alena.

I'm so glad you found a friend in all this,

but Sooze knows the rules. - Thank you.

- Bye.

- [Sooze] Bye, Haley and Uncle Man.

(talking and chatter)

- Oh, I got that for you.

You don't have to play it or anything.

I just, in case you wanted to.

Look, I know it's quick, but I think it'd be

a good idea for us both

just to get things in gear, you know?

I'll let you get settled.

You start school the day after tomorrow,

and we can go get something to eat in a little while.

Are you going to be okay here for a bit?

Okay, take your time.

I'll let you.

All right, what do you want?

You want a cheeseburger?

You want a hot dog?

- Hey, welcome to Verley's Grill.

My name is Patricia.

Would you guys like to try our new crawfish special today?

- No thank you.

- Oh, okay.

Well, then what can I get you guys to drink?

- Sweet tea with lemon here.

What do you want?

You want soda or sweet tea or water?

Just water for her.

- [Patricia] Okay, I'll be right back

with your guy's drinks.

- Thank you.

- [Carter] What is a crawfish?

- [Chad] You wouldn't like it.

Good to see you eat, kiddo.

- Does it eat? - What?

- Does it crawl?

- You want a roll? - Yeah.

- Hey.

Can't sleep?

Me either.

Come on, let's get something to drink.

Come on.

(gentle instrumental music)

Okay.

Text me for anything anytime.

I check it all day.

(chatter and commotion)

- All right, guys, settle down for me please?

Sit down.

Before we get started, I want to introduce Haley.

She just moved her from Maryland,

so give her a nice welcome and don't be all clicky.

Okay, open your books.

I'm just going to jump through

what we were working on yesterday.

Alright, who thinks they got it?

- [Boy] Right here.

- [Boy] Hey, Mr. Smiga, I got it.

- [Mr. Smiga] Luis?

- [Luis] Yeah, right here.

- [Mr. Smiga] Yeah, alright, why don't you come up

and put it on the board.

There you go.

Oh man, Luis got it everyone.

(eerie echoing)

(high-pitched ringing)

(banging)

(heavy breathing)

- What do you want to drink?

- Fruit punch. - Okay.

Okay, will you go tell Haley dinner's almost ready?

- Haley, dinner's ready.

- I'll be down in a minute.

- [Carter] Okay.

(static)

- She'll be down in a minute.

- Okay, here's your fruit punch.

Go grab a seat, okay?

(knocking)

Dinner.

You okay?

- Yep.

- Okay, come on, let's eat.

You thinkin' about playin' that thing?

Okay, well come on, let's eat,

if it's edible.

It's pizza casserole.

Is it okay?

- It's fine.

- [Chad] You buddy?

- It's okay.

He makes it all the time.

- I do not.

(sneezes)

Good catch, buddy.

- [Carter] Thanks.

- [Chad] Need to wash your hands?

- [Carter] Yeah.

- [Chad] Alright, go to it.

And use the soap.

- [Carter] I will.

- Dad said that. - What?

- Good catch.

- Oh, yeah.

He did.

We've been saying that since we were kids.

Hey, did he do the thing

where he popped his wrist like.

(laughter)

- [Doctor] So, how's school?

- It's okay.

- Making any friends?

- Not really.

- You playin' the piano?

- Nope.

- Why not?

Come on.

Try me.

- Can we talk about something else, please?

- Sure, how's your uncle doing?

- Fine.

- How are your flashbacks?

- They're flashbacks.

How do you think?

- I imagine they'd suck pretty bad.

Why don't you tell me about 'em?

I like your top.

Little warm for long sleeves though.

Are you hurting yourself?

- What?

- Pinching, cutting.

Let's work on some more productive strategies

rather than hurting yourself.

Maybe we'll start with some breathing exercises.

- Mom!

Mom!

(crying)

- Whoa, what are you doin', huh?

- [Haley] Sorry.

- It's okay, just don't move.

- Sorry.

- It's okay.

- Were you sleeping?

- [Chad] Not really.

- 'Cause of me?

- No.

Let's get some air.

Come on, let's get some air, let's go.

(gentle instrumental music)

Bad dreams?

- Yeah.

- Me too.

Mine probably aren't as intense as yours though.

- I keep waking up in the wreck.

- Yeah, I bet you do.

- I don't know how to get it out of my head.

- Is that piano freaking you out?

Want me to get rid of it?

- I don't know.

- Well, if you want me to get rid of it,

just say so, okay?

- Okay.

- Your dad said you were gettin' pretty dang good.

- Yeah.

Why did my mom not like you?

- I don't know.

- How old are you?

- 39.

- Why'd your wife leave you?

- You're not beatin' around the bush, are you?

She went a different direction, I guess.

Teachin' pro wasn't enough

and bein' married was too much.

- What does that mean?

- When I stopped competing and I started teaching,

it kind of changed who I was to her.

I don't think she liked it.

After Carter was born, there was all this stress

and I don't think she wanted to be a mom.

- You even wanted to do anything other than tennis?

- [Chad] Like what?

- I don't know.

- Your mom was really good on that piano, huh?

- Yeah.

- [Chad] My mom didn't want me to be a tennis pro.

- Why?

- She thought it'd be a hard life,

but you know, everything's hard in one form or another.

And if you love it, you love it.

- What do you love about it?

- I like to see people get to do things

they didn't think they could do.

I like to help people find out

that they're stronger than they think they are.

It's not really about the tennis anymore.

(gentle instrumental music)

(bell ringing)

(chatter and commotion)

- Can I help you?

- Sorry.

I'm Taylor.

- [Haley] Haley.

- You're new, huh?

- Yeah.

- Where'd you move from?

- Maryland.

- Why'd you move here?

- My parents died in a car wreck

so I moved in with my uncle, okay?

- Got it.

(bell ringing)

- [Man On TV] A soldier's life as depicted

in Civil War era music.

- Hey, kiddo.

What's up?

- I need some stuff.

- Sure.

What do you need?

- Girl stuff.

- Oh.

Sure, sorry I didn't even think about it.

Carter has never needed any stuff like that, obviously.

- It's okay, I just have to get a couple of things.

- Sure, sure.

I know, sit down.

Sit.

(knocking)

- Hey Chad.

You must be Haley. - Yeah.

- [Woman] It's nice to meet you.

Do you want to come in?

- Well, actually I have a favor to ask you.

- Go.

- Haley needs some feminine things

and I thought I'd embarrass her.

- Say no more.

Come on in, Haley.

We'll go and get you fixed up.

(easygoing instrumental music)

- You should play, kiddo.

I'd love to hear it.

- Can you leave me along right now, please?

- Okay.

But, I think if you play, it'd be good for you.

- I'm glad you think you know what's good for me.

- Hey, I'm not tryin' to push you.

I just think...

I don't need a therapy session right now.

- Yeah, you just avoid everything you care about

'cause it's hard.

- You're such a great parent, Uncle Chad.

I see why they gave me to you.

- Listen, you walk around

with this ball of pain inside of you,

and then all you do is add to it

'cause you don't want to deal with what's really there.

- I don't how to deal with it!

I don't know how to get it out!

Don't you think that if I knew

how to get it out that I would?

Don't you think if I could just barf up the night

that I saw my mom and dad lying dead

in the front seat of the car that I would?

I don't freaking know how to get it out!

And I'd cut it out if I could,

but that doesn't seem to be working!

- Haley, I'm sorry.

- Get out!

Get out! - I'm sorry.

- Get out!

- [Chad] Did you brush those teeth?

- [Carter] I'll brush mine more than you brush yours.

- (laughs) Well, I'm your dad.

I'm supposed to ask.

Did you do your homework?

- [Carter] Yeah.

- Good man, Huckleberry.

- Is Haley still mad at you?

- I don't know.

I'm sorry you had to hear all that, man.

- Aw, it's okay.

She has a full plate.

- Yep, she does.

- [Carter] Yeah.

- Goodnight, buddy. - Goodnight.

- Hey.

I just want you to feel better.

And sometimes I'm not doin' so great myself,

and I think some of that came at you.

So, I'm sorry.

- I'm afraid to play.

- You don't have to play right now.

But, you know, at some point,

you have to overcome that fear.

Makin' lemonade out of lemons really sucks sometimes,

but it's only way I can get through life.

What?

- That's cliche.

- (laughs) Yeah, it is.

It doesn't make it any less true.

I'm going to get some sleep, okay?

You try to do the same, goodnight.

(chatter and commotion)

- I'm sorry I was such a jerk the other day.

- Forget it.

Hey, what are you doin' after school today?

- Nothing.

- You want to go to Skinny Dip?

- What's that?

- It's a yogurt place.

It's kind of lame.

- Sure.

- Cool, I'll see you after seventh.

- Cool.

- Nice slow-mo.

Good.

- You did?

Did you watch it last night 'cause--

- Yeah, me too.

- It's like my favorite show.

This place is really cool.

- Nice step.

Left foot nice.

Hey kiddo, how'd you get here?

- Girl from school.

- [Chad] You get to watch Carter work on his forehand.

- Hi, Carter.

- Have you ever played tennis, Haley?

- Hey, have you ever hit a tennis ball before?

- Nope.

- Should we make her hit one?

- Yeah. - No.

- Oh, come on, just hit one ball.

- I don't even have a racket.

- [Carter] You can use mine.

- [Chad] Oh, look at that.

You can use his.

- [Carter] Remember, slow and easy.

- Slow and easy.

Alright, stand on the line.

Then turn face this way.

Put your right leg like that.

- Just hit the ball. - Okay.

Nice.

- [Carter] Wow, you hit it over on the first time.

- It's a great shot.

- [Haley] Can I sit down now?

- [Carter] Good shot, Haley.

- Thanks, Carter.

- We'll just be a couple of minutes, okay?

You ready?

Step in there.

Switch those hands, goofball.

You ready, step in on that.

Good, that was better, got some elbow.

Get there.

Lead feet, get there.

- So, how you doin'?

- I'm okay.

- Making new friends?

- Yeah, one.

- Nice.

Guy, girl?

- Ha-ha, girl.

She's moved around a lot so she talks about that.

Her name's Taylor.

- Are the meds helping?

- I think so, a little.

- That's great, Haley.

You playing that piano at all?

- You need any help with that?

- No, it's fractions.

It's easy.

- (laughs) You got that from your mom.

- I did?

- Definitely.

- I'll see you next week, Haley.

- [Haley] Okay.

Bye. - Bye.

- Oh hey, Doc.

- Yeah?

- Are you single?

Carter wanted to know.

- Oh, Carter.

- Yeah, yes, I am single.

- I'll let him know.

- Okay.

- [Chad] You just stay in the car for a minute, okay?

- [Haley] Why?

- [Carter] Yeah, why Dad?

- Just stay in the car please, okay?

(beeping)

- What are you doin' here?

- I'm sorry to come to your place, Chad.

- [Chad] You're sorry?

Haley's here, man.

She's in the car with my son.

- I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking of the kids.

- [Chad] No kidding.

- I need to talk to you.

I have to tell you about some things.

- I don't have anything to say to you, Scott.

I can't believe you came here.

- [Scott] No, you need to meet with me.

When is a good time, Chad?

- I don't ever want to speak to you again.

- [Scott] No, you have to promise to meet with me

or I'm coming back until you talk to me!

- Alright, you come back tomorrow at 1:00

when they're in school, okay?

- [Scott] Okay.

Alright, that's great.

Thanks Chad, I'm sorry.

- Just leave.

- Who was that guy?

- Yeah Dad, you looked pissed.

- Hey, language!

Where'd you hear that?

- Sorry.

- Not okay, both of you.

- [Haley] Who was he?

- He's just this guy that wants me

to join his business.

- What kind of business?

- [Chad] Sales, he's one of these pyramid guys.

I have to keep tellin' him to get lost.

- He looked familiar.

- I don't know why.

The guy's a low-life.

You got a lot of homework?

- [Haley] No.

- You, pottymouth?

- Sorry, Dad.

- Just don't make a habit of it, okay?

Homework?

- I did it at the doctor's office.

- [Chad] Oh right, good.

Well, dinner should be ready in about 20 minutes.

Why don't you go get ready, okay?

- Okay.

(water running)

- I'm going to grab some lunch.

You want something?

- I ate already, Chad, but thanks.

Got this banquet tonight.

I'm slammed.

How are things?

- Good, you know, she's gettin' settled.

- [Alan] How are you?

I'm good, I'm rollin' along.

- Go get some lunch and wash that hat.

(laughing)

- What are you doin' here?

- [Scott] I came by the house. You weren't there.

- I'm busy, I had to work.

- I need to talk to you.

- [Chad] What else could you possibly want?

Cheating on my brother wasn't enough?

- I wanted to apologize.

- I don't want your apology.

I don't care if you get it off your chest or not.

Live with it!

- Chad, I really loved her.

(hitting)

- Whoa, whoa, hey!

Whoever you are, you need to get off the club property now!

You're trespassing!

This is a private club!

- Okay, I really loved her.

I'm sorry.

- Wait.

When was the last time you saw her?

- At the Christmas party.

I swear.

- Take the weekend, alright?

I'll get your stuff covered. - I'm sorry.

- [Alan] Hey, it's fine.

No explanation, I would've wanted to kill him too.

("Take It Slow Tonight" by Ryan K. Hamlin)

- So, is there anyone you might be interested in in school?

- Hey, can I use your computer?

- Sure.

- I just want to check something.

- [Taylor] Is that your mom's page?

- Yep.

- Wow, you're stronger than me.

I don't think I could do that.

What are you doin'?

- [Haley] Just looking at some pictures.

I just want to see if.

- What?

- Nothing.

- Who's that?

- Friend of my mom's.

- Hm.

- We got to go.

- Get out, I told you to knock...

- [Boy] When are we leaving?

- In a minute!

- Who are you?

- [Taylor] Get out!

Okay, let's go.

The movie starts in 10. - Okay.

- You okay?

- Yeah, let's go.

- Finished eatin'?

- What happened to your hand?

- I was bein' a dummy at work today

and I got frustrated and I punched the wall.

I got in a fight.

There was a man there sayin' things to me

he shouldn't have been sayin' and I was tired

and I lost control.

Not a good thing to do, buddy.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Do you mind if we keep this just between you and me.

- [Carter] Sure, Dad.

- Thank you.

- [Carter] What did he say anyways?

- Well, that part I don't want to tell you

'cause it's grownup stuff, okay?

- I'm going to get ready for bed.

- Okay.

Hey, mornin'.

You must be Taylor?

- Yep.

- I'm Chad.

This is Carter.

- Hi. - Hey.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- [Chad] You guys want some breakfast?

- What happened there?

- [Chad] Oh, I was teaching yesterday

and I slipped and I scraped it across the clay.

- [Haley] Looks like you hit somebody.

- Yeah, it kind of does.

- Who was that man the other day?

- [Chad] The guy at the door?

- Yeah.

- I told you.

He wants me to join his business.

- [Haley] What was his name?

- What?

- [Haley] What was his name?

Scott?

- How do you know that?

- Because I'm not stupid.

Why was he here?

He was friends with my mom, right?

- Hey buddy, would you mind going back

to your room just for a few minutes

just so I can talk to Haley?

- Oh, no problem. - Thanks.

- I'm just going to-- - Stay.

- Okay.

- Stop lying to me.

- [Chad] I'm not lying to you.

- Yes, you are.

I know he was a friend of my mom's.

I saw him on her Facebook page.

- Haley, look, there are some things.

- Was she cheating on him?

- Hey, that is an awful thing to say.

- Stop lying.

- Where are you getting this? - Was she?

Let's go, Taylor.

- Hey, wait a second. Now, just hold on.

Just talk to me for a minute, Haley.

Hey, we just need to talk for a second.

Haley, we just need to talk for a second.

Where are you going?

Haley, where are you going?

(gentle instrumental music)

- What happened?

- I don't know, buddy.

Hi Doc, it's Chad.

I'm sorry to bother you on a Saturday.

Can you just call me back as soon as you get this?

It's Chad, thanks, bye.

(fingers tapping)

(phone vibrating)

Hi, Doc.

She okay?

- Yeah. - Okay.

- I'm sorry we left.

I didn't know what to do.

- I know.

(crickets chirping)

(knocking)

- Hey. - Hey.

- Come on in. - Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I was afraid to be honest with you

because I know how much you've been through already

and I thought you'd never have to find out.

- You knew my mother was cheating on my father?

- Yes.

- Did Dad know?

- No.

- And you didn't tell him.

How could you do that?

- [Chad] I didn't know what to do.

- You could have told him.

- I didn't want to ruin their marriage.

- How'd you find out?

- It was at the Christmas party when I came up.

They were-- - Oh my god!

You knew then?

How could you not tell him?

- It's not that simple, Haley.

- It is that simple!

He was your brother and if you loved him--

- He had a kid, Haley.

Maybe I should've told him.

I told her, "If she didn't end it,

"I was going to tell him."

She ended it.

- How do you know?

- Because I saw that jerk yesterday.

She ended it.

- Why was he here?

- Because he needs closure.

- What'd you tell him?

- I punched him.

And I asked him when the last time he saw her was

and I told him never to come back.

You can't hold on to this.

You got to let it go.

Your mom loved you with all her heart.

She did.

And people make mistakes.

I'm with you.

I hate that it happened, I do.

But, if you hold on to it,

it's just going to stick in you like an arrow.

You got to forgive her, Haley,

otherwise you can't move on.

- Can we please go home now?

- Sure.

Come on.

(gentle instrumental music)

Thanks for lettin' us crash your house, Doc.

- No problem.

See you next week, Haley.

- Thanks for listening. - Sure.

- [Chad] One, two, three, four.

- [Mr. Smiga] Alright guys, take your seats.

Let's get class started.

Squidlely-doo.

- Let's lift it up.

Nice, it's fine, good try.

Stretch it out slow-mo, lift it, good.

Great.

Hang on one sec, Joyce.

Hey Joyce, do you mind if I cut out a couple minutes early?

It's one of my kids at school.

- I'm fried anyway. - Yeah, you sure?

- It's good, yeah.

- We'll figure it out.

- [Joyce] Alright, good luck.

- I'll see you later.

Hey do you know where the music room is?

- Yeah, it's down the hall, take your right

and it's on your right. - Thank you.

- It's okay.

You ready?

Got a favorite song?

Why don't you try?

(piano playing)

- It's okay, it's okay.

Just breathe.

Hey, Haley.

Look at me.

We're going to do this today, okay?

You can do it.

Just breathe.

(gentle piano music)

(cheers and applause)

(waves crashing)

- What you thinkin' about?

- Nothing.

What if I told you I wanted to be a musician?

- I'd say it's a hard life,

but if you love it--

- You love it.

Thanks Uncle Chad.

- You're welcome.

- [Carter] What you all guys doin'?

- We're just talkin'.

What are you doin'? - Nothing.

- Like, what did you like bathe in the sand?

- [Carter] (laughs) Maybe.

- Let's go inside, come on.

Let's let Haley have some time.

Go. - K.
