I mean, has she even tried talking to anyone about it?

Like, uh, Dr. Gibbons, you know, uh, Andrew Gibbons mom.

So we'll see what happens with t

Are you gonna be late today?

Hello. Mary. - Um, sorry, what?

- Are you gonna be late today?

- I'm, I'm trying not to be. Um, what's Nick saying?

- Well, I'm not there to

but he's been acting like a passive aggressive simp

and I have a feeling you shouldn't be late.

- Uh, my doctor is already like 20 minutes behind,

so he should be here soon. - Okay.

Are we gonna still hang for your b-day tomorrow night?

- Duh. - Doy.

- Hey, I'm, I'm sorry about toni

I'm not sure why they wanted to just do family.

- It's okay.

Maybe they're planning like a fun trip or something.

- I know. I did. I did. - Oh.

- Oh, hey, five minutes. I'll come right back.

Are you kidding me, Gavin?

Yeah, he's gonna sweep next week

How's sleep been? - It hasn't been actually.

- Hmm. Not to worry.

We'll just up your dosage of Amb

Now, your blood pressure's stable. HGN test is normal.

See, Mary, you have a textbook c

of what we call monkey mind.

That's all this is.

Even me this morning, I was on t

and I kept hooking my shots hook after hook after hook.

And I realized I needed to stop for a moment,

take a deep breath, drink some electrolytes,

and clack, 400 yard down the fairway, even me.

- So I should drink more Gatorad

- Well, I do recommend Gatorade, but yes.

And we'll up your Adderall to 40 milligrams.

Take that in the morning with yo

Still take the Ativan as needed and your Ambien at night.

You're set to go.

- You, you still think that my a

- You didn't have an accident, M

You just bumped your head.

Something like that wouldn't have lasting effects

like it has this past year.

In fact,

if you keep thinking that was th

or that you saw something,

it's only perpetuating your craz

Just keep your head straight

and try to get your eight hours.

Come in.

Mary, come on in.

Have a seat. - I'm sorry.

The doctor's office took way longer than expected.

- It always does.

That's why they call it a waiting room, right?

- Yeah. - Listen, um,

do you ever think you're gonna drive again?

- Um.

- Might get you places quicker.

Something's been brought to my a

Absences, tardiness is...

Don't forget you broke the espresso machine.

- Yes, I know. And I, I said I was gonna replace it.

- Mary, Mary, Mary. That's coffee under the bridge. Okay?

I forgive you. - Okay.

- All right. - Thank you.

- It was $3,000.

Mm-hmm.

Look, it's been a long year. All

For all of us,

and maybe it's best if you just,

you know, take a break, regroup.

I'm gonna need the, uh, apron.

- My, my-

- Well, it's our apron actually, Mount Hut.

It belongs to us. - I can pick up some shifts.

- Mm. - Oh. And my doctor.

My doctor is, is putting on me on, on a new medication plan

and it's- - Mary.

Listen to your doctors. That's great. Okay.

Thank you for your service.

Nice job, sweetie.

- Happy birthday, pumpkin.

- Okay, let's slice this up. - All right.

- I'm so glad we could have this time together.

How long has it been? - I don't know.

- Really, since the four of us h

in the same room together.

And I know we said we want it to be just us tonight,

but that doesn't mean I wanna keep you from your friends.

- Yeah, friends are important, but it's nice to just, uh,

sometimes spend time alone with

- Yeah. Have you met any new friends lately, Mary?

Or any special girls that are more than friends?

- No.

- Well, that's all right.

Princess Charming will come along when she's ready.

- So anyway, uh, how's work been going, birthday girl?

- Oh, great.

- I saw something exciting today

- Oh. - I saw an ad

at Safeway for a used Subaru.

I thought it would be a fun birthday adventure.

You know, to go looking at a car

You think it's time for a car again, sweetheart?

- Mom.

- Helen, you know, if she doesn't want a car right now,

she doesn't have to have a car.

- I wasn't saying she has to get

I was asking if she wants to go look at one.

- I got it, but you're making her feel very uncomfortable.

- Martin, I say- - Hey.

- Oh, come on. How? - Hey, hey, stop.

- Well, if your father wouldn't attack her about her work,

she wouldn't be so on edge.

- Oh for Christ sake, Helen, that is really rich.

It's always me. I always do some

- That's funny,

because usually you do nothing ever about anything.

Oh, did you hear about that farmer who died

over there on his land on Glen O

His wife couldn't find him for d

and then a passerby sees something red in his field.

What are the chances of that that's just sticking up

out of the shrubs?

I think that he- - Mom, mom.

You gotta stop talking about that kind of stuff.

- Wait, I had a dream last night

Did the report say- - Helen, did you ever notice

that you care more about other people's lives

than you care about your own?

I mean, if you spent more time worrying about your own life

than other people's,

I think you'd be a little happie

I really do. - Martin, that's it.

Not tonight.

- What? What? Christ's sake. You know what, Helen?

Everything is hell here. This is

Below me, that's hell.

And above me, is that heaven? No. It's hell.

Everything's hell.

Kids, your father

and I have something to tell you

- What?

No, go ahead.

- It wasn't really that surprisi

Yeah. I didn't think it was actually gonna happen either.

- On my birthday. Really?

My God, my life has completely fallen apart.

- Don't be so dramatic.

50% of families get divorced, yo

- You saying you don't care?

- I didn't say that.

- Why is life so...

I thought there was more to it t

- I don't know. Ask Socrates, or whatever his name is.

- Okay, dick head.

I'm on new meds, my sleep schedule is all messed up,

and my parents just told me that they're getting a divorce.

Jerk. - Sorry.

- It's like this is it?

This is all there is to life?

If hell is beneath us and heaven is above us,

then we're just stuck in the mid

I don't-

- Oh, uh, sorry to interrupt, ki

Uh, yeah. I'm just gonna head ou

Your mom, she's just not my biggest fan right now.

- You can crash at my spot if yo

- Oh, uh, no. I got a place I can stay tonight.

I don't wanna intrude on you. - Yeah, Nikki's.

She's little miss amazing.

- Wow. I didn't expect you to he

Um, that must be really weird for you to hear, I guess.

Um, you know, despite what I was saying inside,

I just want you to know, I,

I've really felt a lot happier l

You know, and, and don't listen to your mom,

because I have been totally open about everything

from the get, you know.

- So you're like dating someone

and mom is...

Does she... - Oh, your mother,

um, well she hasn't felt that wa

about me in um, well, quite a wh

It's been kind of a while and, u

you know what?

This is an easy target for drama

So unfortunately, I- - What was that?

Speak up. - Jesus.

You know, there's my cue

I'm, I'm really, I love you, pum

but happy birthday.

- Can we get the hell out of her

- I guess it's the best worst outcome, you know.

It's gotta be tough for mom.

- Like she's some saint. - Really?

- Mom's a fake who tells you how she really feels

and then tries to cover it up like nothing happened.

- How long are you gonna keep this up with her?

I mean the past is in the-

- Stop! - And you were... Stop?

What do you mean? What's- - Stop your truck.

- Where are you going?

The hell are you doing?

- You didn't see him?

- See who? - That boy.

- A boy? What are you talking ab

- Like a teenage boy.

- No, come on. - Wait. This is the place.

- What place? - Right here.

On the night of my birthday. Rem

- Oh, yeah. I guess this is where we pulled over.

Oh, it's been a year already? Crazy. Okay, let's go.

- I saw something that night.

- I know. That's why you swerved

- I hit something.

- Mary, we've already been over

It, it was the fog against the h

or a small tree branch that fell

or it was a flying squirrel,

or you hit a raccoon and it shot off into the dark.

Now can we please just get back in the truck? It's cold.

Hey, dude.

(gentle dramatic music continues

Mary, let's go.

- So it was

that England's greatest queen began her reign

at the same time

that Britain's greatest novelist began his career.

- I'm seeing a boy.

Mary, you're screaming!

You're screaming. Wake up.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's okay. It was just a nightmare. It was a nightmare.

- I'm scared.

- Of what? - I'm scared to go to sleep.

- I had no idea it was this bad.

What the hell is that doctor giv

God.

We're gonna see this idiot tomor

- No, no, it's okay. - No, it's not.

I'm gonna ask him what the fuck

- I told you, he has me on a medication plan.

I, I, I can't just go in. He's really expensive.

- We're gonna see him tomorrow. Do you have work?

- Uh, no.

- Good. I'll take you up after I

- You look like shit, man. - I didn't sleep.

- Oh, fun birthday party? - Not really.

I was up all night with Mary.

- Oh, can't catch a break, huh?

- You should've seen the way she was looking

after this nightmare she had, ma

- Did she tell you what it was o

- Just like super weird stuff.

Like people coming back to life and attacking her and-

- Like zombies? - No, more like ghosts.

- You know, this town is haunted as fuck.

You know that.

Well, you know, if, uh, Dr. Palmer's meds aren't cutting it,

I was watching this new documentary yesterday

on, like, new philosophies of alternative medicine.

- Yeah. You sound like a cult le

- I'm serious, man.

I mean, people were getting healed from like acupuncture

and, what was it?

Reiki healing and hypnotherapy.

- Hypnotherapy?

- You remember my, my cousin Elliot, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Smoked cigs 30 years straight.

He went to go see a hypnotist,

has not smoked a day after since

I'm serious, man.

You, uh, need some help taking care of Dr. Palmer? You know.

- Nah. This chump's easy.

- That chump was easy.

I could tell by the way he was s

- You are one hell of a golf shark.

You know I was at the bell- - Dr. Palmer.

- Hey, excuse me- I'm on the pho

- Uh, last week. - Well, we can wait.

It's about Mary.

- Oh, my. - Oh, Brant.

I'll have to call you back. - Yeah, call me later.

- How can I help you?

- Just a quick question.

What the fuck kind of prescriptions do you have her on

- Joe. - First of all, language, pal.

Uh, here we go. Yeah.

Okay. Currently, Prozac, Adderall, Ativan, and Ambien.

- Okay and does it say anywhere

in there that side effects may include getting attacked

by dead people in your sleep?

Because that's what's happening

Do you even know that?

- Neurological trauma is known to manifest itself

in several ways.

Now some we can explain and some

Now, do you wanna hear more about it specifically

or do you wanna stand there

and act like some wanna be tough

I suggest you have a seat.

Now, Mary's got a hyperactive brain,

and her issues started around the time of her new job.

Family stress, this stuff can cause serious reactions,

which can lead to night terrors.

- Yeah. I got the why. I need the how to fix this.

- Well, I'm doing the how.

And she stays on track with the prescriptions I prescribed,

we should see improvement.

I mean, we can try upping her dosage again.

- And turn her into a drug addict zombie like the ones

in her horrible nightmares.

Are you even listening?

- What about something holistic?

Like, like a doctor at a holisti

- Yeah, like hypnotherapy.

- Hypnotherapy, sure. Sometimes that can help.

But if ancient rituals

and holistic thinking were a hundred percent,

we'd still be using leeches for women's periods.

- Let me ask you something. - I'm listening.

- Do you actually know anything?

Do those degrees on the wall mean anything?

Because are you listening to you

All I'm hearing is maybe this, m

and I came here to get a straight fucking answer.

- That's enough. We're done here

- So what do you want to do?

Wanna look into a therapist or like a hospital in the city?

- Yeah, and who's gonna pay for

- I can pick up some extra shifts at the mill.

- No, don't worry about it. I'll figure something out.

- We will figure something. - I will figure something out.

- Whoa. What are you talking abo

- Because now I have to work eve

now that you scared Dr. Palmer o

Hope he'll still see me.

Oh, come on.

Don't be like that. - Thanks for the ride.

- Wow. Hold on.

What? Hey, Jen.

- Hey. How are you?

- Just have fun tonight, I guess

- Wouldn't do anything you would

- Mary, will you just live a little or something?

- Okay, Joe, I'll make sure of i

- Okay. Be safe. - Okay.

- So do you wanna go to Shammy's next or Golden Grass?

- Uh, I guess Shammy's.

- Yay. I was gonna say the same

- Yay. - Okay, will you stop moping?

- Sorry. Sorry. I'm, I'm having

- Oh, you're having fun. - I promise.

- By the way, I forgot to tell y

- Yeah. - Look at me.

Oh, there's something in your teeth. Let's see.

Is that a smile I see? - Shut, shut up.

- Oh my gosh. I just want you to know you're not alone.

You know that, right? You have so many people here for you.

- I have you. - Yeah, of course you have me,

but you also have Dr. Palmer, your parents, Joe.

- Uh, not really. - Why? What happened?

- Um, well, Dr. Palmer put me on these new prescriptions

and I'm not really working,

and I don't wanna stress my pare

any more than they already are.

And Joe thinks that he's helping

but he's just making everything

- I'm sorry, Mare.

But I do think everything will get better. I don't know.

Have you thought about maybe getting behind the wheel again?

I think maybe if you did,

your body would just know everything's okay.

- You believe me about what happened, right?

- When? - That night.

I thought I hit something. The a

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, I also think it's possible that you saw something

that wasn't actually there,

because driving at night can be really scary.

Mary, what are you looking at?

- This is where that woman drowned. - What?

- I saw a woman who died at the bottom of this bridge

in my dream. - This specific bridge.

- Yes. That's two nights in a ro

I had another dream before this bridge one.

There was this dead guy at this

and then I found out that he actually died a couple

of weeks ago in real life.

Ugh! Like there's no service in this podunk town.

- Okay, Mary, relax. It's okay.

- Can you look on your phone?

Look, look up people who died on this bridge,

or search reports- - Okay.

- Or something. - Okay.

I don't have any service, so we can just look it up later.

We don't need to look it up righ

- It really happened. - I believe you.

Like, I don't think you're crazy

I've never thought you were craz

What are you looking at?

- Someone's been following me. (

- Mary, nobody's following you. There's no one there.

- Look.

- Mary, what, what are you looki

Hey, just breathe. Just breathe. Just breathe.

- It's okay. Sorry.

Mary, you need to get real help,

You have to see someone else,

not just some doctor that's gonna pump you full

of God knows what.

Do something drastic. I don't know. Come to yoga with me.

Anything that's gonna help you find inner peace.

Okay? It's been a year of this. Enough is enough.

Please just promise me you'll try something else.

Someplace new. Just promise me.

All right. Just promise me. - I promise.

- Like tomorrow, like now, somep

- Okay. - Okay, let's go home.

Come on. - Okay.

Hello. - Hm? Who's is this?

Who is it? - Hi, I'm Mary.

- Huh? - Do you do holistic practice?

- Oh, okay. Thanks.

I'm sorry to bother you.

- Why?

- Um, I saw your sign down the r

and I've been taking these prescription medications

for some sleep problems and othe

Uh, I'm seeing a doctor already but it's not really working.

I thought I'd try something new because of the nightmares.

- C- come on. Come on in.

You can sit there. Nightmares, h

- Mm-hmm. - Your sleep must be fickle.

- I don't sleep much, and when I

that's when the, you know.

- Mm-hmm. You wake up sweating.

- Mm-hmm. - Screaming.

- Mm-hmm.

- Tell me,

are you a God-fearing woman?

- Uh, well I stopped going to church but I grew up Catholic.

- Hm. - Um, I, I do believe

that there's some higher power though, I guess.

- Well, I can assure you there i

How long have you been having trouble sleeping?

- About a year. - And how's your life?

- I guess you could say it's been a little stressful.

- What's been stressful? - My parents, I guess.

They've been having issues,

and not sleeping is stressful, and I lost my job.

- An unbalanced parental-offspri relationship is like

a thorn stuck in your foot

on your journey to serenity.

Matthew 15:4, "For he

who reviles his mother or father must surely die."

- Is that your wife?

- Yes, it is.

- How long have you guys been to

- We're not anymore. - I'm sorry.

Well, thank you for talking to m

- Do you want my help?

- I'd love your help, but I can't pay very much.

- Because you lost your job. - Yeah.

- But I won't be late to any of your appointments ever.

I have the time. - Mm-hmm.

Maybe we can work something out.

- Nah, I'm actually looking forward to it.

- Did I hear that right? - I'm serious.

He's a little on the religious s

but he knows his stuff and I don

He's calming. - Good for you, Mare.

Happy for you.

- Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday

I was just frustrated and I took it out on you.

I know you're trying to

and you really have helped a lot

- It's fine. I forgive you.

- Thanks.

- Has dad been back yet? - I have no idea.

I'm the only one here right now.

Trying to get out of here soon.

Have you heard from him? - Nope. Not at all.

- He's probably having fun with

- Gross.

- Mary. Hi, sweetheart.

- Mom's here. I gotta go.

- I, I didn't know you'd be here

- I had some laundry to do. - Great.

Hey, uh, did you hear about the Applebee's that's opening up

over there on Fenning Ridge?

Right next to Dr. Palmer's.

How's Dr. Palmer been?

- I'm actually seeing a new doct

- Are you? Is everything

- I'm fine.

- Well, uh, if you need to borro

to get to appointments, let me know, or you know,

if you get a hot date with a pretty girl.

- I know what you're doing.

- I'm trying.

- But why would you try for a di

- After we, uh, do this we'll te

to the seeds we planted last wee

Gonna put fertil

and then a soft layer of dirt on

You know, Adam was the first far

I'm sure he did something simila

How are your parents? - My dad seems like he's okay.

And I haven't talked to my mom in a couple weeks.

Last time it wasn't great. She's probably fine.

- She suffers silently like you.

Have you told her about our new

- Yeah, I did.

- Did you tell her the nightmare

- Not yet.

So you really think it was the m

that were causing my hallucinations and dreams?

- A proper diagnosis is vital.

Your circadian rhythm was off,

which instigated the parasomnia and your sleep paralysis.

Mary, come here. I want to show you something.

When I first commenced my practice, it was more mainstream

Prescribed pharmaceuticals

and all that nonsense that you were taking.

And I did notice that it was helping my patients,

but it was merely hiding issues that were underneath.

So I tried other things,

things I should have been doing

You know, the Good Book gives us

from the garden for healing,

but fewer people wanted to try it because it wasn't proven.

Of course, there was one mishap

with one of my more progressive techniques.

It's been 10 years.

This plant is native

to a very specific region of Mes

It's the Papaver plant.

It's from the poppy family. - What's it do?

- Well, it has very strong physiological effects

and a powerful hypnotic property

It's very potent. - It's beautiful.

- I'm glad you think so.

You know the reason that I'm showing you this,

You just, uh, have to know where

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Let's tend to those seeds.

- And in for three.

Hold, and out.

- Dude. - Whoa.

- I literally feel high.

No, like I'm actually high. - Yeah.

- This new doc is genius.

- Yeah, I'm starting to feel better about things.

- I was really worried about you

- You wanna make out, don't you?

- What? No.

- I mean, you're like looking at me like you want to.

Okay.

- I mean, I get it, you know?

I know with this like, breath work and we're feeling good,

and like I like boys.

I also like Angelina Jolie. - Yeah.

- But you already know all that.

- Mm-hmm. - Oh!

I almost forgot to tell you.

I searched what we were talking about the other night.

You know, about the deaths and stuff at that bridge.

Did you look it up too?

- Um, Dr. Cyrus thinks I shouldn't feed into my nightmare

- Oh, okay. Well, do you wanna know or what?

- Obviously, yes.

- So I found this article about this woman that drowned

at the same bridge.

Did she look like this?

Okay. It's okay.

- We should go.

Well, it sounds

like you're actually getting som

- I know, right? Geez I slept, I

Running late. I slept through my

Glad last night was good for you

- Yeah, and I slept.

- I'm gonna call you Rip van Twinkle.

- Um, hey, I'm here, so I gotta

- Okay. Have a good session.

- Hey.

- Hello.

- I'm seeing a boy.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- I saw it.

- Hey, tell me what happened. Wh

- I saw a ghost. - Okay, tell me what you saw.

Just start from the beginning, o

And then just back it up.

- I was with my friend Jen last

- Mm-hmm. - And I told her

about my dream of the woman who drowned under the bridge.

And she showed me a photo of the same woman who drowned

under the same bridge a few year

It was real. She was re

And, and, just, just, just now-

- Okay, okay. It's ok

We're gonna try something.

Remember when I told you

how I had some mishaps

with one of my techniques in the

- One of the reasons your practice stopped.

- Yes,

but it wasn't my technique that was the problem.

It was the person.

You see, this has worked many times for many people.

You have to absolutely follow everything I say

in order for this to work.

Now can you do that, Mary? Keep

- Yes. - Close your eyes.

Do you know what purgatory is, M

Matthew 5:26.

"You will never get out until you have paid the last penny."

You see, your parents' divorce has triggered something

in your spirit,

and your unsettled spirit sees other unsettled spirits.

Have you ever done anything you regret, Mary?

Me too.

What did you see, Mary?

- I need to step outside. - Mary, it's important

that you tell me what you saw, otherwise I can't-

- I need a moment.

- No. No. No. No. No.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you when I was driving.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. (gaspin

- Mary. It's okay.

It's okay.

- I feel like I'm losi

I can't tell what's real from what's not anymore.

I don't know what to do.

- Do you know what could, uh,

help settle your mind?

Believe it or not, a relationshi

- Really? - Yeah.

I mean, it's been proven that love can heal

or at least distract you from th

Do you have, uh, anyone special in your life? Boyfriend?

- Can I tell you something?

- Yeah, you can tell me anything

- I like girls more, actually.

- That's a very courageous thing for you to say out loud.

I appreciate you sharing that personal information with me.

Can I get you some more tea? - I'm good.

Is this your wife? She's beautif

- She was the most amazing woman on God's green earth.

She was my best friend.

She was my everything.

I was blessed.

- Must be so hard to lose someone so special.

- She died giving birth to our c

It all happened so quickly.

- I'm so sorry.

- Well, the Lord's plans are gre

than we can understand sometimes

- But I thought you said that you didn't have any children.

- I don't. Not anymore.

Just all too much for an old man to bear sometimes so

I keep it outta sight.

He was such a smart and a kind b

Are you sure you don't want any

- I'm a little sleepy, actually.

- It's a good thing. Means our sessions are working.

- Yeah. It seems like they are.

Thank you for tonight.

- So, same time tomorrow?

- Same time.

- You gotta be more specific. What does that even mean?

- Remember the night of my accid

- Why do you keep talking about

- Because we didn't hit a deer,

or a raccoon, or a tree branch.

- Okay. - We hit a person.

- A person? No chance.

There was nothing there when we

- It was a boy.

- I thought you were supposed to be getting better, Mary.

Does this have to do with that n

What have you guys been doing ov

- We've been doing a lot.

Holistic therapies, regressions, hypnotherapy.

It's actually been helping,

but I saw the doctor's son.

We hit his son, Joe. We killed his goddamn son.

- Okay, whatever is happening,

it's completely messed your head

This is worse than Dr. Palmer.

You have to stop seeing this guy

He's getting inside your head.

He's manipulating you somehow.

- No. - He's making you think things

that aren't real. - No. No.

Dr. Cyrus is a good man. We are the ones that did wrong.

We, I am the one that killed his

- Okay. Okay. Hey, hey.

Let's say we did hit someone.

There would be a body, or a poli

or we would've seen it on the news last year, something.

Don't you think he would've called the police

if his son was missing?

Are you sure you didn't just dream this all up?

- It wasn't a dream.

- When's the next time you're going over there?

- I usually go over a few times

- I wanna go talk to him. - No. No.

I don't need you to do everything for me, Joe. Okay.

I have to tell him.

I have to tell him that I killed

In fact, it's probably best if you're not involved at all.

I mean, I, I was the one driving

There, there's no reason for you to get in trouble

with me when I come clean. (gasp

- Come on in.

Mary. Oh, you're early. That's w

Hey, I thought we could try something new today.

First we have to go down to the

and gather a few things.

Mary, I can tell something's on

- I had an epiphany. - Well, epiphanies are good.

- I realized where my trauma was coming from.

- That's significant. You're recognizing the genesis.

God, Mary, I'm so proud.

- There's a car accident that happened last year.

I was driving my brother's truck

I hit something and it wasn't an animal, like I thought.

It was a boy.

Teenage boy.

The boy from your pictu

I hit, I hit your son with that

I killed your boy

and that was why I was having the nightmares,

I was rotting away inside of me.

And your hypnosis triggered the memory of that night

and the night, the nightmares wouldn't stop

until I owned up to it. (gasping

I don't even know what you're thinking of me right now.

I had to tell you.

I'm so sorry.

- Hey there, honey. Nice to hear from you.

How's it going?

- Uh, hey, dad. Are are you at w

- Yeah, sure am,

but the station's having a slow

So what's up?

- Um, I'm taking this online cou

and I was wondering if there was a way to find records

of deceased people or, or someth

- Taking a class. Oh, that's great, pumpkin.

What kind?

- Um, rural crime analysis. Yeah

Um, but yeah, I, I was just trying to find out

where to get information on, you

if, if someone had an accident or someone died

or, you know, someone found dead in the road,

where would I find reports like

- Mary, are you in trouble? - No, dad.

- Okay, well, all of that should be public record,

but I can look something up for you if you need.

- Yeah, yeah.

Um, can you look on your databas

if there are any local deaths around my birthday last year?

- All right, uh, let me see. Uh, hang on.

Well, nothing around here last y

- Nothing around my birthday at

- Hmm-mm. No, not in our little town.

Well, I see a couple of deaths over the last few years.

There was a, there's a drowning two years ago,

close to your birthday.

There was that farmer this year and a fire four years ago.

- Uh, but nothing else around my

- Hmm-mm. No, not that I see, pumpkin.

- Okay. Uh, thanks, dad. - Hey. Hey.

You sure you're doing all right?

- I'm me. - Huh.

- Um, I, I really do wanna keep

but I, I have to go.

Bye, dad. - Okay, bye, sweetie.

- Jesus, mom, you scared me.

- I figured you'd be up.

- Uh, now's not really a good time, mom.

- Yeah, I know, sweetheart. That's why I'm here.

It hasn't, hasn't been easy for

I, I bought this for you.

- "Exonerate Your Soul"?

- The internet said it's a really good book

about your mind and sleep.

Something about spiritual psycho

- Dr. Cyrus was telling me about spiritual psychology.

Wow, Mom. That's actually a really, really thoughtful gift.

Thanks. - Of course, sweetheart.

Of course. I'm always here for y

Even when you think I'm not.

Well, I guess this new doctor knows what he's doing

after all.

You think I should maybe go talk

- I'm not sure that us seeing the same doctor is really

a good idea. - Right. Yeah, of course.

Yeah. That makes sense.

I, I just...

Mary, let me give you some advice, okay, as a woman,

because you try so hard in life

to do everything right, you know

and be a good mother, and a good

and create a loving atmosphere for your kids,

and it just, just...

- Mom, mom. No, it's, it's okay.

- I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't do anything lately.

I just, I, I'm tired. I'm just so tired of it all.

I'm so tired. I'm sorry

- It's okay.

- You have to know I never meant to hurt you,

and I'm trying so hard to make i

I've been trying for a year. I've been trying.

It's just uncomfortable news, yo

when you first hear it.

I didn't handle it well, I know

Being a grandmother is just so important to me,

and I didn't understand,

and I know that you can still have children.

I get that now, but it's not abo

I accept you for who you are. For exactly who you are.

Oh my God, I was so horrible.

I know. I was horrible, and I said horrible things.

But please, Mary, please forgive me, please.

You have to forgive me. - It's fine.

I forgive you. I forgive you.

I really do. I wanna try something with you.

Close your eyes, center yourself

and we're gonna breathe in for t

You ready?

And

let it all out,

and center and open your eyes sl

How's that? - Wow.

I haven't felt that way in a long time. Thank you.

- Dr. Cyrus is teaching me a lot

- Well, I personally would love

to meet this great new doctor

who's done such wonderful things

and now for me.

- I'm, I'm not sure that's such a good idea.

- Why is that?

- Nothing. - Mary, what's wrong?

You know, you can tell me anythi

I just poured my soul out for you.

- I might have upset him. - Oh, sweetheart.

I doubt that's true. He's a professional right?

He's probably already forgiven y

Although I know forgiveness can

Wow. I should get out of your ha

- Uh,

you're, you're welcome to stay t

if you, if you want.

- Really? Are you sure? I, I wouldn't wanna take your bed.

- I, I was thinking more along the lines of the couch, but-

- I, I was joking. - Got it.

- Thank you.

- Um, actually I forgot I,

I have to call Jen about somethi

You should, you should take my b

- Okay. Sure. Yeah.

Don't worry about me. Go do what you need to do.

We'll just be one door down.

- Hey, I saw you.

What do you want?

- I'm sorry. - You're the boy that I hit.

- I can't tell my father. I needed to tell you.

That I forgive him. - Forgive him?

For what?

- He can't hear me right now, but I really do.

Ephesians 1:7, "In him, we have

through blood, the forgiveness o

- What else do you want

Have I not served her well? To forgive is futile.

- No, no, no, no, no, no. (panti

No, no, no.

Dr. Cyrus.

- To forgive is futile.

To forgive is futile.

- I, I'm sorry.

Just know this is all my fault,

but I had something to tell you.

Don't take your own life for something that I did.

Put it down.

- I wasn't a good father that da

- The day your son died?

What happened?

- I have a hard time recalling

because I don't want to remember

- I have an idea.

- I don't want to tell you. - You can tell me anything.

- No, dad, I, I can't. - Secrets are lies, son.

Proverbs 12:22, "Lies are an abomination to the Lord."

- Okay, um, I'm seeing a boy.

I'm sorry, father.

- What? I'm, I'm, I'm seeing a boy.

- I'm seeing a boy at school. - I, seeing a boy at school.

I... Francis Timothy Cyrus, are you out of your-

- Dad, please stop. Look, I told you the truth, now please.

- Please what? Huh?

Please look the other way while

against everything pure and holy this family represents?

- Dad, do you realize

that I'm never gonna tell you anything ever again?

Goddamn it, I hate this.

- You watch your language in my house, young man.

Are you even a man? Hmm? No, no.

You're just a licentious disappointment that killed my wi

You're not welcome here.

I knew I smelled an unholy stenc

- Please forgive my sins

Do I even deserve your mercy?

- It was my fault.

- No, no.

If I had been paying attention that night, I, I...

- How could I have said

I have the most wicked tongue ou

- Put it down. It was my fault.

I heard you say what I've been hearing in my nightmares.

I'm seeing a boy. - What?

- No. Don't you understand? - I-

I was able to forgive my mother for what she did

because of you. - No, no.

It's all over. It's broken. - Not true.

You said that you accept me,

which means that you accept him.

- I do accept him. He could never forgive me.

- He came to me. He forgives you

- How dare you? - I'm telling the truth.

- Don't create scenarios for false betterment.

- Okay, well, I feel in my soul that he forgives you

and you just said you accept him

- I do. - Then forgive yourself.

- Oh, I do.

- You can't just say it. You have to mean it.

- Mary, when I first saw you,

I thought, ah, that it would help me move on

and that you were my way out of

And I tried, but obviously guiding you just wasn't enough.

I can't take it anymore, Mary.

I can't taste any flavors. I can't smell anything beautiful.

I'm barely here.

Sentenced to torment, just- - Unless you forgive yourself.

He's older, so don't be all high

- This place is really run down.

- Joe, be respectful.

Don't say anything like that when we're inside.

- Maybe he is in the bathroom,

or in a tree house or something.

- Shut up. No, wait. I was here last night. He's here.

Dr. Cyrus? Dr. Cyrus.

- Yeah, we gotta a thank you Kumbaya cake for this guy

and he ain't even here.

I'm gonna go around back. Just c

- I don't know if I've actually ever called him.

- Hey, pumpkin, I got some more reports for you.

There was another death around your birthday,

but it wasn't last year.

It was 10 years ago, right on your birthday actually.

Uh, yeah.

This, uh, teenager got hit by a logging semi-truck.

It's a really sad story.

The father stabbed himself

in the neck a couple of days lat

Anyway, the boy was a minor,

so they didn't release his name,

but the dad's name was Dr. Frank

Anyway, that's all I got for you

Uh, good luck on your report.

- Mary, seriously. What, what's going on?

- Sorry, I, uh-

- Where the hell is this g

- I forgot he's not in today.

- Yeah, we're getting you back on the meds.

I'm kidding. Come on.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Mary ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

- Yay! - And many more, Mary.

Ah!

- So good. - Thank you.
