1
00:03:53,691 --> 00:03:55,734
Yes?

2
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:58,403
Collect call from Zoe.
Will you accept the charges?

3
00:03:58,529 --> 00:04:00,989
Yes, I'll... accept the charges.

4
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:03,283
Daddy? It's me.
How are you doing?

5
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:05,744
- Hi! Fine.
- That's great.

6
00:04:06,996 --> 00:04:08,956
Where are you?
What's that sound?

7
00:04:09,123 --> 00:04:11,291
I'm in a carwash.

8
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:15,337
Wow! I've never talked to you
when you've been in a carwash before.

9
00:04:15,463 --> 00:04:17,297
?Make sure you've got
all the windows rolled up.

10
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:20,342
Remember the time that...
that we were in the carwash,

11
00:04:20,468 --> 00:04:23,595
and I started playing
with the automatic window?

12
00:04:23,721 --> 00:04:26,306
How old was I, Daddy?
5 or 6?

13
00:04:26,474 --> 00:04:28,976
I got absolutely soaked, remember?

14
00:04:29,143 --> 00:04:30,978
Why are you calling me, Zoe?

15
00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:34,022
Why am I calling you?
You're my father.

16
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,733
What, I'm not supposed to call you?

17
00:04:36,859 --> 00:04:39,111
What's... what's the matter with
wanting to talk to you, Daddy?

18
00:04:39,237 --> 00:04:41,989
Nothing's wrong with trying
to talk to me, Zoe.

19
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:43,907
Then what's the problem?

20
00:04:44,033 --> 00:04:45,325
The problem is...

21
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:50,289
The problem is I don't know
who I'm talking to right now.

22
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:52,916
Oh, 'cause you think I'm stoned,
Daddy?

23
00:04:53,042 --> 00:04:56,044
Is that what you're thinking?
I've got a needle stuck in my arm?

24
00:04:56,212 --> 00:04:59,381
Are you thinking that I've scored, Daddy,
that I'm calling you for money?

25
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:02,968
That I'm begging?
God, I don't fucking believe this.

26
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:06,763
Daddy, are you listening to me?!
Daddy!

27
00:05:07,056 --> 00:05:08,432
Daddy!

28
00:05:11,185 --> 00:05:12,602
Yes...

29
00:05:12,687 --> 00:05:14,604
Why can't you talk to me?

30
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:21,194
Because I need to know
what state you're in, Zoe...

31
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,947
before I know how to talk to you.

32
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:26,158
Come on, let's go.

33
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:27,617
Daddy!

34
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:57,272
Speak a little softer

35
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,775
And wink a little louder

36
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:03,820
And shoot less with more care

37
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:07,574
And sing a little sweeter

38
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:10,535
And love a little longer

39
00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:15,582
And soon you will be there

40
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,794
Here

41
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,464
All we have here is sky

42
00:06:23,966 --> 00:06:28,178
All the sky is
is blue

43
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:31,640
All the blue is

44
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:37,020
Is one more colour

45
00:06:37,563 --> 00:06:48,448
One more colour

46
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:51,868
Now

47
00:06:53,996 --> 00:06:55,789
- Well, that was great.
- Really?

48
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,125
You're gonna blow everyone away.

49
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,376
- You mean it?
- Of course.

50
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:01,753
You don't sound like...
completely sure.

51
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:03,755
I am.

52
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:07,300
Really.

53
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:10,762
It was awesome.

54
00:07:11,848 --> 00:07:14,433
I'm so happy, Daddy.

55
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:21,314
Let's get some ice cream, Daddy.

56
00:07:38,749 --> 00:07:40,709
Operator, can you hear me?

57
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:42,335
Yes, go ahead, please.

58
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:46,715
Um... I-I seem to be
in a strange situation.

59
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:48,717
I'm-I'm calling from my car.

60
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:51,219
And I appear to be stuck
in a carwash.

61
00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:52,220
A carwash?

62
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:54,222
Right. Yeah, a carwash.
Uh...

63
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:57,350
Can you speak a little louder,
please, sir?

64
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,853
Sorry, sir. I'm losing you again.

65
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:23,793
Jesus...

66
00:09:48,337 --> 00:09:49,671
Okay, here we are!

67
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:52,215
Everybody out!

68
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:55,552
Come on! Quickly now.

69
00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:58,847
Gather around.
Come on, everybody.

70
00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:02,225
Come out quickly.
We haven't got all day.

71
00:10:02,893 --> 00:10:04,269
Now, I want you to listen to me.
- What is it?

72
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:06,479
I got a few things
I have to tell you.

73
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,607
Just the way Dolores gets so excited
with the kids.

74
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:11,526
- Alright. Rule number 1.
- It's like the biggest thing in her life.

75
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:13,945
Don't stick your fingers
into any of the cages.

76
00:10:14,071 --> 00:10:17,991
Heidi, this applies to you.
And Shane, get back here, please.

77
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,619
I don't care how cute
some of these animals may be,

78
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:22,829
the fact is
they don't like being here.

79
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,874
No matter how many ribbons
they may have won. Eh?

80
00:10:27,543 --> 00:10:29,461
Rule number 2.
Hey, Sam.

81
00:10:29,587 --> 00:10:33,131
Hey, Nicole.
Rule number 2: no kicking,

82
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:35,550
pushing, shoving or biting.

83
00:10:35,718 --> 00:10:38,553
Rule number 3: older kids,
you look after the younger kids.

84
00:10:38,721 --> 00:10:42,557
If any of you get lost, you come here
to the red lady. I will find you.

85
00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:45,268
Rule number 4: wiggle your noses
and have fun.

86
00:11:40,616 --> 00:11:41,950
Hello.

87
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:48,248
Is it raining outside?

88
00:11:48,332 --> 00:11:51,000
No, uh... had an accident.

89
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:53,169
Do you have a room?

90
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:58,675
Will you be spending
more than a night?

91
00:11:58,843 --> 00:12:00,760
Hard to say. Uh...

92
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:03,346
Could have some business here--
- You a reporter?

93
00:12:10,646 --> 00:12:12,230
No, sir.

94
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,486
You here about the accident?

95
00:12:18,612 --> 00:12:20,488
Yes.

96
00:12:20,614 --> 00:12:22,574
I'm a lawyer.

97
00:12:23,993 --> 00:12:27,036
I realize this is an awful time,
but it's important that we talk.

98
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:31,416
Kyle Lansdom's a drunk.

99
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:33,418
Nobody likes him.

100
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:36,588
He's a nasty piece of work.
- In what way?

101
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:40,216
Well, he's been drinking since high school.
Fucked himself up.

102
00:12:41,051 --> 00:12:42,886
Used to be smart enough.

103
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:44,596
Any criminal record?

104
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:49,976
Probably... at least half a dozen
traffic convictions, drunk driving.

105
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:52,896
Lost his licence.
That's why he don't work no more.

106
00:12:53,731 --> 00:12:58,276
Can't get off that... shitty dump
they live on.

107
00:12:58,986 --> 00:13:02,238
Whatever money does come in
goes to booze.

108
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:04,574
How does the family survive?

109
00:13:06,243 --> 00:13:07,577
I dunno.

110
00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:09,579
Church charity...

111
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:12,749
Welfare, food bank.
They scrape by.

112
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,631
And, uh...

113
00:13:20,716 --> 00:13:23,092
What about Dora?
- Doreen.

114
00:13:23,677 --> 00:13:26,221
She was a friend of mine.

115
00:13:27,306 --> 00:13:29,641
- When was that?
- At school.

116
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:35,772
She fell for Kyle
just before we graduated.

117
00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:39,526
And... she got pregnant.

118
00:13:40,736 --> 00:13:43,571
Uh... moved into a... a trailer,

119
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:46,908
up... on a wood lot
Kyle's dad used to own.

120
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:50,620
Kyle started spending more and more time
at the Spread Eagle.

121
00:13:50,746 --> 00:13:52,664
That's the local bar?

122
00:13:55,584 --> 00:13:58,837
Uh... and coming home drunk,
and...

123
00:14:00,464 --> 00:14:03,675
feeling trapped by his life,
I guess, and...

124
00:14:04,718 --> 00:14:07,178
blaming her for that and...

125
00:14:07,304 --> 00:14:10,014
Well.
- And...?

126
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,600
And... and...

127
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:14,477
and he beat her.

128
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:17,981
He beat her?
- Yes!

129
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:19,315
Oh...

130
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:23,486
You see... to do this right,

131
00:14:23,612 --> 00:14:25,196
to actually have a chance
of winning,

132
00:14:25,322 --> 00:14:28,658
of getting some money to compensate you
for the loss of your boy,

133
00:14:31,328 --> 00:14:33,288
we need folks like you.

134
00:14:33,455 --> 00:14:36,040
Sensitive, loving parents,

135
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:38,960
with no criminal background,
no history of trouble in the town.

136
00:14:39,086 --> 00:14:42,255
Do you understand?
- Yes.

137
00:14:42,381 --> 00:14:45,383
Now, of these people
that you've told me about

138
00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:48,428
whose kids were killed,

139
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:51,723
who do you consider to be good,
upstanding neighbours?

140
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,518
People who will help us
in our cause?

141
00:14:55,644 --> 00:14:59,272
Uh, there's the Hamiltons.
Joe and Shelly Hamilton.

142
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:01,316
Oh yeah, right!

143
00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:08,114
Everybody knows that Joey

144
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,075
steals antiques from summer cottages

145
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:13,494
and sells them to dealers
in the city.

146
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:16,331
He's been doing that for years.
- That's great, Wendell.

147
00:15:16,457 --> 00:15:19,083
That's exactly what I need to know.

148
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:21,461
You see, so it won't come back
to haunt our case later on-

149
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,796
There's the Prescotts.

150
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:27,091
Oh! You know how much money
he owes to the bank?

151
00:15:27,217 --> 00:15:28,635
He's about to lose his house,

152
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:30,678
he's about to lose his car.
- Yeah.

153
00:15:30,804 --> 00:15:31,721
But Charlene, she--

154
00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:35,016
Charlene is over at the Spread Eagle
every other night.

155
00:15:35,142 --> 00:15:38,478
She sleeps with whoever
she can get her hands on.

156
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:40,271
I mean, she'd go down for a...

157
00:15:40,397 --> 00:15:42,565
pat on the head
and a fistful of peanuts.

158
00:15:42,691 --> 00:15:44,150
Ah... Ahem!

159
00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:53,993
Forget the Atwaters and the Biladows.
They're all inbred.

160
00:15:54,828 --> 00:15:55,870
Oh.

161
00:15:55,996 --> 00:15:58,331
- The Ottos.
- The...

162
00:16:02,503 --> 00:16:04,671
Well, tell me about the Ottos.

163
00:16:04,755 --> 00:16:07,340
Wanda and Hartley.

164
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,842
They lost Bear.

165
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:12,178
He was their adopted son.

166
00:16:14,181 --> 00:16:17,517
He was a beautiful boy.
He was Indian.

167
00:16:18,185 --> 00:16:21,521
That's good.
Judges like adopted Indian boys.

168
00:16:21,605 --> 00:16:24,232
Tell me more about the Ottos.
- They're smart.

169
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:27,443
They've been to college.

170
00:16:27,569 --> 00:16:30,321
They moved here from the city
about a dozen years ago.

171
00:16:30,447 --> 00:16:31,906
What do they do?

172
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:34,659
Crafts.

173
00:16:36,036 --> 00:16:37,954
Wanda does these photographic things.

174
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:41,958
That's one of hers.
Right here on the wall.

175
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,212
- You know, they probably smoke weed.
- You don't know that.

176
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:48,214
They ever been busted?

177
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:50,216
- No.
- You don't know!

178
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,885
That's what it is.
You don't know.

179
00:16:58,726 --> 00:17:00,685
I'm sorry. Excuse me.

180
00:17:00,769 --> 00:17:02,770
Yes?

181
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:04,731
Collect call from Zoe.
Will you accept the charges?

182
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:06,482
Yes, I'll accept the charges.

183
00:17:06,608 --> 00:17:08,401
Do you mind if I step outside
for a moment?

184
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:10,737
It's a private call.
I'm so sorry.

185
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:17,076
Why do you say things
when you don't know...

186
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:19,746
Zoe? Where are you, darling?
- Shut up.

187
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:21,330
- I won't shut up.
- Yeah...

188
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:23,416
Oh, shut up.

189
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:25,460
Yeah...
- Shut up!

190
00:17:25,586 --> 00:17:28,463
Yes, I am listening...
- Shut your big, fat mouth.

191
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,468
Oh... no, of course I'm being sincere.
I understand what you're saying.

192
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:34,927
The fact that you...

193
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:37,889
The fact that you like the doctor,
I mean... it's half the battle...

194
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:39,557
- Shut up.
- You're jealous again.

195
00:17:39,683 --> 00:17:41,726
Please...
- Shut up. I'm jealous of what?

196
00:17:41,852 --> 00:17:44,187
What am I jealous of?
- 'Cause he's smarter than you.

197
00:17:44,313 --> 00:17:45,563
Yeah...
- Smarter than me?

198
00:17:45,689 --> 00:17:48,107
Oh, yeah!
Like the Ottos are smart, too.

199
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:50,151
Did you hear what that man said?
He said, "Good, Wendell."

200
00:17:50,277 --> 00:17:52,361
Good! He said, "Good!"
- I will do it in 10 minutes.

201
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:54,447
- You're a big baby!
- Shut up!

202
00:18:21,141 --> 00:18:23,309
- Yes, sir?
- Oh, hi.

203
00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:25,311
I... I can't get any sound of out this.

204
00:18:25,437 --> 00:18:27,355
- Oh, here. I'll get you another pair.
- Thank you.

205
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,527
Here, you can have mine.

206
00:18:35,155 --> 00:18:38,116
Allison O'Donnell.
- Alli...

207
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,118
I was a friend of Zoe's.

208
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:43,121
We used to go to school together.
I used to come to your house.

209
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:46,707
- Yeah...
- Ally. My nickname was Ally.

210
00:18:46,834 --> 00:18:49,335
Ally? Right, right.

211
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,337
How are you?

212
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:53,339
Oh, I'm just fine.

213
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:55,550
How about you?
- I'm fine.

214
00:18:55,676 --> 00:18:59,178
I'm... still working with my father.
- Right.

215
00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:01,180
Um...

216
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:03,516
What does he do again?

217
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:06,227
Well, he used to work with you.
You guys used to be partners.

218
00:19:08,355 --> 00:19:10,648
- Allison!
- Mm-hmm.

219
00:19:10,774 --> 00:19:12,650
How's Mrs. Stevens?

220
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:16,279
Well, she's just fine. She...
We're... not together anymore.

221
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:18,698
- Yeah, I'd heard that. But she's well?
- Yeah.

222
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:20,700
And Zoe?

223
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,535
How's Zoe?

224
00:19:24,955 --> 00:19:27,665
Oh, you've beat me to it.
Here you go.

225
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:29,417
Thanks.

226
00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:03,534
'Morning, Wanda!
Hey, Hartley!

227
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:05,953
- Hi, Dolores.
- Good morning, Dolores.

228
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:08,539
Beautiful snow we're having,
eh, Dolores?

229
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:11,584
Oh, it's just a flurry, Hartley.
It's totally clear up ahead.

230
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,586
That's good.
- Look!

231
00:20:13,837 --> 00:20:16,547
- What's that you got there?
- What do you think?

232
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:19,550
Well, it's, uh...
certainly what you call interesting.

233
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:21,928
You hate it.

234
00:20:22,262 --> 00:20:25,056
No. No, no. I didn't say that. No.

235
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:27,934
I could wrap it up
to protect the children.

236
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,560
I can just strap up on the roof, eh?

237
00:20:29,686 --> 00:20:31,729
- There's an idea!
- Come on, give me a break!

238
00:20:31,855 --> 00:20:33,773
It's for the school bazaar.

239
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:35,900
Oh, well, it's bizarre alright.

240
00:20:36,026 --> 00:20:37,735
Come on, Bear.
Let's get you outta here.

241
00:20:37,861 --> 00:20:40,613
Come on, Bear.
Away from your crazy mother.

242
00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:43,616
That's right. I'll see you, Wanda.
Bye, Hartley.

243
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:45,701
- Take care.
- So long.

244
00:20:50,123 --> 00:20:51,540
Bye-bye!

245
00:21:01,551 --> 00:21:04,637
The Ottos always waited
for the bus with Bear.

246
00:21:05,639 --> 00:21:08,766
They were the only parents who...
who did that.

247
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:12,645
Together, like that.

248
00:21:13,814 --> 00:21:16,315
Uh, I guess they were
what you might call...

249
00:21:19,236 --> 00:21:20,486
hi... hippies.

250
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:23,656
What do you mean by that,
Mrs. Driscoll?

251
00:21:23,865 --> 00:21:25,908
Dolores.

252
00:21:26,034 --> 00:21:29,328
No one... ever calls me Mrs. Driscoll.

253
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:32,206
What do you mean by that,
Dolores?

254
00:21:32,332 --> 00:21:34,709
- Uh, about the Ottos?
- Yes.

255
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:37,503
What exactly do you mean
by hippies?

256
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:44,552
I... mean the way they look.

257
00:21:46,555 --> 00:21:49,515
Their hair, and... clothing.

258
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:52,935
Do they have any reputation
for drugs?

259
00:21:53,061 --> 00:21:57,606
Oh... no, no, no.
Nothing like that. No, uh...

260
00:21:57,733 --> 00:21:59,942
No, the Ottos...

261
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:02,778
...are what I would call...

262
00:22:02,904 --> 00:22:05,656
uh... model citizens.

263
00:22:06,199 --> 00:22:08,534
They're regular at town meetings.

264
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:11,370
They, uh... give their opinion

265
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,373
in a respectful way.

266
00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:16,375
And they, uh...

267
00:22:16,543 --> 00:22:20,796
they help out at various...

268
00:22:21,089 --> 00:22:23,341
...fundraising bazaars,

269
00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:24,759
though they aren't...

270
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:29,722
Uh...

271
00:22:31,391 --> 00:22:33,893
...church goers.

272
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,562
Mm...

273
00:22:36,646 --> 00:22:39,398
And they love Bear?
- Oh... yes.

274
00:22:40,442 --> 00:22:42,568
It's... it's like
he's their little treasure.

275
00:22:42,652 --> 00:22:45,237
He's such a beautiful boy...

276
00:22:45,322 --> 00:22:48,199
Oh, well, there's a picture of him
on the wall over there,

277
00:22:48,325 --> 00:22:49,533
just beside Abbott.

278
00:22:56,249 --> 00:22:59,251
Those were all taken at the fair
last year.

279
00:22:59,336 --> 00:23:01,796
Abbott and me, we were judges
at the pet show.

280
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,297
For rabbits?

281
00:23:03,423 --> 00:23:06,384
Abbott used to breed them
till he had the stroke.

282
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,095
Bear won 1st prize.

283
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,597
Just look at the smile on his face.

284
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,977
He's one of those children who...
who bring out the best in people.

285
00:23:23,527 --> 00:23:25,778
He would've made a wonderful man.

286
00:23:34,704 --> 00:23:37,164
Watch the band

287
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:42,962
Through a bunch of dancers

288
00:23:45,048 --> 00:23:48,050
Quickly

289
00:23:49,469 --> 00:23:53,055
Follow the unknown

290
00:23:55,475 --> 00:23:58,477
With something

291
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,899
More familiar

292
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:08,904
Quickly

293
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:14,201
Something familiar

294
00:24:17,914 --> 00:24:19,415
Courage...

295
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:22,501
Billy Ansel
started honking at us

296
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:24,503
up around Upperhat Creek.

297
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:26,881
He always started to do that

298
00:24:27,174 --> 00:24:28,883
when he caught up to the bus.

299
00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:32,553
He'd wave at his kids,
Jessica and Mason.

300
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:35,556
They... always sat in the back.

301
00:24:36,683 --> 00:24:39,226
Billy loved to see his kids in the bus.

302
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:44,148
Normally, he'd follow us
the whole distance

303
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:47,151
past the bridge,
towards the school.

304
00:24:47,235 --> 00:24:50,529
Are you saying that Billy
was driving behind the bus

305
00:24:50,655 --> 00:24:53,657
at the time of the accident?
- Yeah.

306
00:24:53,742 --> 00:24:55,576
It...

307
00:24:57,662 --> 00:25:01,540
uh... comforted him.
- From what?

308
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:04,877
From what?

309
00:25:05,003 --> 00:25:07,087
- I'll get the tray.
- Oh, thank you.

310
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:10,508
Did he have any, uh...
particular problems that you knew of?

311
00:25:10,634 --> 00:25:13,511
Financial pressures,
run-ins with the law that...

312
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:15,513
You go ahead.
- No!

313
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:17,932
No, no, no.

314
00:25:18,558 --> 00:25:20,392
No. No, no, no.

315
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,478
Nothing like that.

316
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,563
No.

317
00:25:25,106 --> 00:25:29,109
Billy's wife, Lydia -
God rest her -

318
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:33,113
she died of cancer
a few years back.

319
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,115
Ah... she was a wonderful woman.

320
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:37,576
Great mom.

321
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:41,121
Warm, lovin'.

322
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:43,123
She had a beautiful voice.

323
00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:47,211
She used to sing in the...
church choir.

324
00:25:49,172 --> 00:25:51,215
Anyway.

325
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:57,096
Billy took over raising the kids
by himself.

326
00:25:58,598 --> 00:26:00,724
It was obvious
how much he missed Lydia.

327
00:26:13,613 --> 00:26:15,447
Hello?

328
00:26:15,615 --> 00:26:17,366
- Hey, Risa.
- Hi.

329
00:26:17,492 --> 00:26:19,118
Can you talk?

330
00:26:19,286 --> 00:26:21,996
Uh, yeah. Where are ya?

331
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:24,999
- I was on my way to work.
- Do you see the kids?

332
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:27,001
Yeah, I'm wavin' at 'em right now.

333
00:26:27,127 --> 00:26:29,461
What's that noise?

334
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:32,464
It's Wendell. He's up on the roof.
He thinks he's fixing a leak.

335
00:26:32,632 --> 00:26:36,135
Ha! Ha! As far as I'm concerned,
he's just punching in a few new holes.

336
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:39,221
Hey, listen.

337
00:26:39,347 --> 00:26:42,224
Nicole's comin' over to look after the kids
tonight. She'll be there at around 6.

338
00:26:42,350 --> 00:26:45,477
- Oh, Billy, that's too early.
- She says she's gotta be home by 9, so...

339
00:26:45,645 --> 00:26:48,564
- Yeah, can't you make it later?
- Well, alright, well...

340
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:52,151
Well, just... I'll be waitin' in the room
and, uh...

341
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,278
you just get over
as soon as you can, okay?

342
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:56,780
Okay, I guess.

343
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:59,700
Alright, sexy.

344
00:26:59,826 --> 00:27:01,285
- Bye.
- Bye.

345
00:27:23,516 --> 00:27:25,517
Thanks.

346
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:28,020
Mm-hmm.

347
00:27:30,523 --> 00:27:33,108
I'm glad to hear
that Zoe's alright.

348
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:35,110
You're welcome.

349
00:27:35,195 --> 00:27:37,529
Are you still in touch?

350
00:27:37,697 --> 00:27:40,115
Not really.

351
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,368
The last time I saw her

352
00:27:42,535 --> 00:27:45,537
was when she was at that clinic;
that was a long time ago.

353
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:48,374
- Which one?
- Which one?

354
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:50,542
Which clinic?

355
00:27:52,545 --> 00:27:56,715
I don't remember the name.
It was... near a beach.

356
00:27:58,635 --> 00:28:00,552
Sunny Ridge...

357
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:05,516
Yes, that was a long time ago.

358
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:10,062
So there were others?

359
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:12,147
Other clinics? Oh, sure.

360
00:28:14,109 --> 00:28:17,528
Clinics, halfway houses,
treatment centres, detox units...

361
00:28:19,489 --> 00:28:22,449
So when did she get better?

362
00:28:22,575 --> 00:28:25,160
She... didn't.

363
00:28:27,122 --> 00:28:29,123
- Oh, I thought you said-
- That's why I'm going to see her now.

364
00:28:31,459 --> 00:28:34,044
She's in trouble?

365
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:40,884
Yes. You find there's...
something strange about this meat?

366
00:28:41,010 --> 00:28:43,470
Uh, excuse me.
- Some more wine?

367
00:28:43,596 --> 00:28:46,098
No, I think this meat's
a little overdone for me.

368
00:28:46,224 --> 00:28:48,475
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Stevens.
Would you like to try the fish plate?

369
00:28:48,601 --> 00:28:51,145
- What is it?
- Poached salmon.

370
00:28:51,271 --> 00:28:53,605
- Do-do you have a cold plate?
- We do.

371
00:28:53,773 --> 00:28:55,149
- Is there shrimp on it?
- Yes.

372
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:57,234
Well, if you take the shrimp off,

373
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
as well as anything else
that touches the shrimp, I'd be grateful.

374
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:02,489
I'm not sure that's gonna leave much
on the plate.

375
00:29:02,615 --> 00:29:04,450
Well, let's just see what we get,
shall we?

376
00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:06,243
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

377
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:07,995
Will you excuse me a minute?

378
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,581
Mm.

379
00:30:42,590 --> 00:30:44,550
Mrs. Otto?

380
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:46,718
My name is Mitchell Stevens.
The Walkers told me

381
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,846
that you might be willing
to talk to me.

382
00:30:48,972 --> 00:30:52,599
I'm really sorry to come over
unannounced like this.

383
00:30:52,725 --> 00:30:54,601
But the Walkers said
that you'd understand.

384
00:30:56,104 --> 00:30:57,688
I know it's an awful time...

385
00:30:57,772 --> 00:31:00,607
but it is important
that we talk.

386
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:03,443
Who are you?

387
00:31:03,611 --> 00:31:06,113
I'm a lawyer.

388
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:08,532
Oh... look, I'm sorry.
You can't come in here.

389
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:10,534
Please, let me explain.

390
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:13,287
I- I'll only take a moment
of your time.

391
00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:15,372
Please.

392
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,601
Hartley...

393
00:31:38,187 --> 00:31:40,230
We have a guest.

394
00:31:45,194 --> 00:31:48,614
What did you say your name was?
- Uh, Mitchell Stevens.

395
00:31:55,663 --> 00:31:58,123
The Walkers sent him by.

396
00:32:17,518 --> 00:32:20,187
Would you like a cup of tea
or something?

397
00:32:22,148 --> 00:32:24,191
A cup of tea would be nice.

398
00:32:46,172 --> 00:32:48,548
Alright if sit down
for a few minutes, Mrs. Otto?

399
00:32:48,675 --> 00:32:50,342
I wanna talk to you.

400
00:32:54,430 --> 00:32:56,598
The Walkers spoke very highly of you.

401
00:32:56,724 --> 00:32:58,684
You've been retained?

402
00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:02,104
Yes.

403
00:33:03,272 --> 00:33:05,524
Their child died
and they got a lawyer?

404
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,944
It should be said that my task
is to represent the Walkers

405
00:33:09,070 --> 00:33:11,530
only in their anger,
not their grief.

406
00:33:11,906 --> 00:33:13,532
Who did they get for that?!

407
00:33:15,952 --> 00:33:17,619
You're angry, aren't you,
Mrs. Otto?

408
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,541
That's why I'm here.

409
00:33:22,625 --> 00:33:25,127
To give your anger a voice.

410
00:33:26,087 --> 00:33:31,133
To be your weapon against whoever...
caused that bus to go off the road.

411
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:33,135
Dolores?

412
00:33:33,428 --> 00:33:37,180
It's my belief that Dolores was doing
exactly what she's done for years.

413
00:33:38,224 --> 00:33:41,143
Besides, the school board's insurance
on Dolores was minimal:

414
00:33:41,227 --> 00:33:44,146
a few million at most.

415
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:46,565
No, the really deep pockets
are in the town.

416
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:49,151
Or the company that made the bus.

417
00:33:49,235 --> 00:33:52,154
So you think someone else
caused the accident, Mr. Stevens?

418
00:33:52,238 --> 00:33:56,324
Mrs. Otto, there is no such thing
as an accident.

419
00:33:58,661 --> 00:34:00,537
The word doesn't mean anything to me.

420
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:03,540
As far as I'm concerned,

421
00:34:03,666 --> 00:34:06,293
somebody, somewhere...

422
00:34:06,419 --> 00:34:08,920
made a decision to cut a corner.

423
00:34:09,213 --> 00:34:12,674
Some corrupt agency or corporation

424
00:34:13,676 --> 00:34:17,137
accounted the cost variance
between a 10-cent bolt

425
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:20,557
and a million-dollar
out-of-court settlement.

426
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:28,607
And they decided to sacrifice
a few lives for the difference.

427
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:31,109
That's what's done, Mrs. Otto.

428
00:34:31,235 --> 00:34:34,237
I've seen it happen
so many times before.

429
00:34:34,489 --> 00:34:35,989
But Dolores said...

430
00:34:36,324 --> 00:34:38,116
she hit a patch of ice,

431
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:40,494
and lost control of the bus.

432
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:43,497
Yeah... Mr. Otto, how long has Dolores
been driving that bus?

433
00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:46,124
How many times
has she steered clear of danger?

434
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:48,919
I mean, what happened that morning?

435
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:50,629
Thank you.

436
00:34:55,176 --> 00:35:00,222
Somebody calculated ahead of time
what it would cost to sacrifice safety.

437
00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:04,142
It's... the darkest, most cynical thing
you could imagine,

438
00:35:04,268 --> 00:35:07,104
but it's absolutely true.

439
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:09,106
And now,

440
00:35:10,024 --> 00:35:14,611
it's up to me to ensure
moral responsibility in this society.

441
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:16,988
So you're just the thing we need.

442
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:22,494
Isn't that you want us
to believe, Mr. Stevens?

443
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:25,831
That you know what's best for us?

444
00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:28,083
Ahem...

445
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:35,632
Now, you listen to me, Mrs. Otto.

446
00:35:38,177 --> 00:35:40,220
And you listen very carefully.

447
00:35:42,181 --> 00:35:45,142
I do know what's best,
believe me.

448
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:47,144
As we're sitting here, talking,

449
00:35:48,604 --> 00:35:52,149
the town...
or the school board

450
00:35:52,233 --> 00:35:55,193
or the manufacturer of that bus

451
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:58,655
are lining up a battery
of their own lawyers

452
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:02,159
to negotiate with people
as grief-stricken as yourselves.

453
00:36:02,243 --> 00:36:04,870
And that makes me very, very mad.

454
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:08,498
That's why I came
all the way up here.

455
00:36:08,624 --> 00:36:11,751
If everyone had done their job
with integrity,

456
00:36:11,878 --> 00:36:13,753
your son would be alive

457
00:36:14,088 --> 00:36:15,839
and safely in school this morning.

458
00:36:18,092 --> 00:36:22,846
I promise... that I will pursue
and reveal

459
00:36:22,972 --> 00:36:26,641
who it was
did not do their job.

460
00:36:28,102 --> 00:36:30,520
Who is responsible for this...

461
00:36:31,272 --> 00:36:32,731
tragedy.

462
00:36:34,692 --> 00:36:37,360
And then, in your name,
the Walkers' name,

463
00:36:37,486 --> 00:36:40,197
in-in the name
of whoever decides to join us,

464
00:36:41,657 --> 00:36:43,158
I will sue...

465
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:47,913
I will sue for negligence
until they bleed.

466
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,916
I want that...
that person to go to jail...

467
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,543
for the rest of his life.

468
00:36:53,628 --> 00:36:56,213
I want him...

469
00:36:56,339 --> 00:36:59,466
I want him... to die there.

470
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:03,511
I don't want his money.

471
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:07,432
It's unlikely that anyone
will go to prison, Mrs. Otto.

472
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,187
But he or his company
will pay in other ways.

473
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:15,440
And we must make them pay.

474
00:37:15,608 --> 00:37:18,693
Not for the money or the... compensation
for the loss of your boy.

475
00:37:18,819 --> 00:37:20,028
That can't be done.

476
00:37:23,449 --> 00:37:25,951
But for the protection
of other innocent children.

477
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,124
You see, I'm not just here
to speak for your anger...

478
00:37:33,334 --> 00:37:35,794
but for the future as well.

479
00:37:44,136 --> 00:37:46,638
Are you expensive?

480
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:53,186
No.

481
00:37:55,648 --> 00:37:59,150
If you agree to have me
represent you in this suit,

482
00:37:59,235 --> 00:38:02,529
I will require no payment
until the case is won,

483
00:38:02,655 --> 00:38:06,825
when I will require one third
of the awarded amount.

484
00:38:07,201 --> 00:38:09,494
If no award is made,

485
00:38:09,578 --> 00:38:13,081
then my services to you
will cost you absolutely nothing.

486
00:38:13,165 --> 00:38:15,083
This is... standard agreement.

487
00:38:15,167 --> 00:38:17,168
Do you have this agreement with you?

488
00:38:17,378 --> 00:38:20,505
Yes, I do. It's in my car.

489
00:38:24,385 --> 00:38:26,344
I won't be a minute.

490
00:38:26,429 --> 00:38:28,430
Uh... in any case,

491
00:38:28,514 --> 00:38:32,309
you should have time to discuss this
without me before you make a decision.

492
00:38:46,532 --> 00:38:48,783
I did everything a loving father

493
00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:50,869
of a drug addict is supposed to do.

494
00:38:51,037 --> 00:38:53,038
I sent her to the best hospitals.

495
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:54,998
She saw the best doctors.

496
00:38:55,124 --> 00:38:57,542
No matter, two weeks later,
she'd be out on the street.

497
00:38:57,710 --> 00:38:59,502
And next time I saw her,

498
00:38:59,628 --> 00:39:03,506
a phone call
is coming for money.

499
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:05,425
Money for school,
money for some new kind of therapist.

500
00:39:05,551 --> 00:39:07,635
Or... money for a plane ticket home.

501
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:11,431
"Oh, Daddy, please,
let me come home. I need to see you."

502
00:39:11,557 --> 00:39:13,433
But she never came home.

503
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:17,145
I was always at the airport,
but she was never there.

504
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:24,069
Had 10 years of this.
10 years of lies.

505
00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:27,447
I wondered what would happen
if I didn't send the money.

506
00:39:27,573 --> 00:39:30,325
Kicking down doors...

507
00:39:30,451 --> 00:39:34,871
dragging her out
of rat-infested apartments.

508
00:39:34,997 --> 00:39:37,916
Explaining to somebody
that couldn't possibly be my daughter

509
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:40,460
that they saw in a porn flick!

510
00:39:41,587 --> 00:39:43,171
Oh...

511
00:39:46,509 --> 00:39:50,553
Enough rage and helplessness
and your love turns to something else.

512
00:39:54,517 --> 00:39:56,559
What does it turn to?

513
00:40:01,524 --> 00:40:03,566
It turns to steaming piss.

514
00:40:09,031 --> 00:40:10,573
Hello!

515
00:40:16,163 --> 00:40:18,123
- Hi, Nicole.
- Hi.

516
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:18,832
They just had supper. Okay?

517
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:22,127
- Yeah? Was it good?
- Alright, you be good.

518
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:24,129
- Yuk!
- Was it good? Of course it was good.

519
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:25,922
I'll be back before 9, okay?

520
00:40:26,048 --> 00:40:27,549
- Okay. That's good. Bye!
- Bye.

521
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:29,592
- Oh...
- Let's go!

522
00:41:41,415 --> 00:41:43,541
Hey.

523
00:41:43,667 --> 00:41:45,543
Are you waiting long?

524
00:41:45,669 --> 00:41:49,047
- A while.
- Billy, do you have to smoke?

525
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:51,257
Wendell can smell it
if someone's been smoking.

526
00:41:58,682 --> 00:42:00,183
What's all this?

527
00:42:00,267 --> 00:42:03,436
Wendell put some fresh enamel
on that break in the tub.

528
00:42:03,562 --> 00:42:06,105
Does it mean I can't have a shower?

529
00:42:06,232 --> 00:42:08,525
No, should be dry by now.

530
00:42:11,654 --> 00:42:13,530
When's he getting back?

531
00:42:13,656 --> 00:42:15,532
After the game, I guess.

532
00:42:15,658 --> 00:42:17,575
Oh, the game.

533
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:22,580
Oh! Hey!

534
00:42:28,045 --> 00:42:31,422
The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

535
00:42:31,549 --> 00:42:35,426
"Hamelin town's in Brunswick,
by famous Hanover city.

536
00:42:35,636 --> 00:42:40,390
"The river Weser, deep and wide,
washes its wall on the southern side.

537
00:42:40,516 --> 00:42:43,142
"A pleasanter spot you never spied.

538
00:42:43,269 --> 00:42:46,145
"But when begins my ditty-"
- What's a ditty again?

539
00:42:46,272 --> 00:42:49,566
- Um, it's a... it's like a song.
- Oh.

540
00:42:49,692 --> 00:42:51,901
"Almost 500 years ago,

541
00:42:52,027 --> 00:42:55,071
"to see the townsfolk suffer so
from vermin was a pity."

542
00:42:55,197 --> 00:42:56,614
What's vermin again?

543
00:42:56,740 --> 00:42:58,533
- Rats.
- Oh.

544
00:42:58,659 --> 00:43:00,535
Um! "They fought the dogs
and killed the cats,

545
00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:02,537
"and bit the babies in the cradles,

546
00:43:02,663 --> 00:43:05,456
"and ate the cheeses
out of the vats.

547
00:43:05,624 --> 00:43:07,458
"and licked the soup
from the cooks' own ladles.

548
00:43:07,626 --> 00:43:11,296
"Spit open the kegs of salted sprats.

549
00:43:11,547 --> 00:43:14,132
"Made nests inside men's
Sunday hats.

550
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:16,759
"And even spoiled the women's chats

551
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:20,054
"by drowning their speaking
with shrieking and squeaking,

552
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:21,514
"in 50 different sharps and flats."

553
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,474
- Nicole?
- Yes, Mason?

554
00:43:23,642 --> 00:43:25,852
Can I sit beside you
on the bus tomorrow?

555
00:43:26,186 --> 00:43:29,063
Well, I thought usually you like to sit
at the back to wave at your dad?

556
00:43:29,189 --> 00:43:30,815
I wanna sit beside you tomorrow.

557
00:43:31,191 --> 00:43:32,817
Okay.

558
00:43:32,985 --> 00:43:35,862
- Nicole?
- Mm-hmm?

559
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:37,947
Did the Pied Piper
take the children away

560
00:43:38,073 --> 00:43:40,325
because he was mad the town
didn't pay him?

561
00:43:40,451 --> 00:43:42,869
- That's right.
- Well...

562
00:43:42,995 --> 00:43:44,996
if he knew magic,

563
00:43:45,122 --> 00:43:46,831
if he could get the kids
into the mountain,

564
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:49,834
why couldn't he use his magic pipe

565
00:43:49,877 --> 00:43:53,379
to make the people pay him
for getting rid of the rats?

566
00:43:53,547 --> 00:43:55,673
Um, because, uh...

567
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,927
He-he wanted them
to be punished.

568
00:44:00,220 --> 00:44:02,180
So he was mean?

569
00:44:02,264 --> 00:44:04,515
No. Not mean, just...

570
00:44:04,725 --> 00:44:06,517
just very...

571
00:44:09,521 --> 00:44:11,522
very angry.

572
00:44:12,691 --> 00:44:14,525
Oh...

573
00:44:14,693 --> 00:44:18,613
Should... should I keep reading?
- Yeah.

574
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:31,751
I watch you watch me

575
00:44:33,087 --> 00:44:38,341
Take two steps at a time
through the dark

576
00:44:42,638 --> 00:44:44,889
Afternoon

577
00:44:47,101 --> 00:44:52,980
Two steps at a time
like there's something to chase

578
00:44:53,732 --> 00:44:58,444
Peace withering away
down the dog

579
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,533
Track drizzle

580
00:45:08,163 --> 00:45:12,792
Morning glows faintly
at the edges in you

581
00:45:14,211 --> 00:45:18,256
There's too much light to see

582
00:45:19,508 --> 00:45:21,551
What are you thinking?

583
00:45:23,178 --> 00:45:26,055
...Useless to talk to

584
00:45:26,181 --> 00:45:29,517
I was talking...

585
00:45:36,525 --> 00:45:40,403
Tomorrow, I'm gonna put Sean
on the bus, and he won't wanna go.

586
00:45:42,531 --> 00:45:44,574
He never does.

587
00:45:46,535 --> 00:45:48,077
He'll cry.

588
00:45:49,621 --> 00:45:51,914
He won't wanna let go of me.

589
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:54,709
Well... it's 'cause he misses you.

590
00:45:56,628 --> 00:45:58,755
Yes.

591
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:01,632
It's natural.

592
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:03,509
Your kids never cry?

593
00:46:03,635 --> 00:46:05,845
Well, it's probably 'cause they know
I'll be following 'em

594
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:08,473
behind the bus.

595
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:10,933
They can look forward to that.

596
00:46:11,018 --> 00:46:12,852
Yeah.

597
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:16,105
Just like we look forward to this.

598
00:46:16,982 --> 00:46:18,357
Ye... yeah.

599
00:46:26,074 --> 00:46:29,494
You're leaving?

600
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,871
Yeah,

601
00:46:32,164 --> 00:46:34,707
I'd better... get back.
Like I said, Nicole...

602
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:36,793
has to be home by...

603
00:46:39,713 --> 00:46:41,672
Good night, Billy.

604
00:46:41,882 --> 00:46:43,549
'Night, Risa.

605
00:46:47,387 --> 00:46:49,347
Are-are you sure?

606
00:46:51,308 --> 00:46:53,267
Yeah.

607
00:46:53,393 --> 00:46:56,604
It-it just seems...

608
00:46:56,730 --> 00:46:58,523
kind of... weird.

609
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,318
- Why?
- I dunno.

610
00:47:03,445 --> 00:47:04,987
Listen, Nicole.

611
00:47:05,113 --> 00:47:07,323
You know, I'm just gonna take this stuff
and pack it,

612
00:47:07,449 --> 00:47:09,075
give it to the church for charity.

613
00:47:09,201 --> 00:47:11,077
I mean, don't... don't feel bad.

614
00:47:11,203 --> 00:47:13,871
Unless you feel strange about wearing it-
- No.

615
00:47:13,997 --> 00:47:16,874
No, I... I mean, I...

616
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,670
I remember Mrs. Ansel wearing
some of this stuff, but... um...

617
00:47:21,296 --> 00:47:23,047
I don't feel weird about that.
- Okay.

618
00:47:24,508 --> 00:47:26,175
I really liked her.

619
00:47:29,096 --> 00:47:30,555
Well, she really liked you.

620
00:47:30,764 --> 00:47:33,933
And I think she probably
would've given you that stuff herself

621
00:47:34,268 --> 00:47:36,185
if she hadn't outgrown it or...

622
00:47:38,814 --> 00:47:40,982
What do you mean,
out... out grown it?

623
00:47:42,985 --> 00:47:44,735
Uh, I...

624
00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:48,573
I'm not sure.

625
00:47:52,786 --> 00:47:56,330
Hey, uh... I ran through that... tune
you guys are working on.

626
00:47:56,456 --> 00:47:57,582
Came up with a couple of ideas, so...

627
00:47:57,708 --> 00:47:59,959
show it to the guys,
see what they say.

628
00:48:00,043 --> 00:48:02,086
- Oh, that's great. Thank you.
- Okay.

629
00:48:52,387 --> 00:48:56,682
"There was a rustling
that seemed like a bustling

630
00:48:56,808 --> 00:49:01,354
"of merry crowds jostling and pitching
and hustling.

631
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,733
"Small feet were pattering,
wooden shoes clattering.

632
00:49:05,859 --> 00:49:09,070
"Little hands clapping
and little tongues chattering.

633
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:13,115
"And like fowls in a farmyard
when barley is scattering,

634
00:49:14,618 --> 00:49:16,118
"out came the children running.

635
00:49:17,996 --> 00:49:20,414
"All the little boys and girls

636
00:49:20,540 --> 00:49:23,542
"with rosy cheeks and flaxen curls.

637
00:49:25,003 --> 00:49:26,921
"And sparkling eyes
and teeth like pearls.

638
00:49:28,590 --> 00:49:31,425
"Tripping and skipping,

639
00:49:32,594 --> 00:49:36,180
"ran merrily after the wonderful music

640
00:49:36,306 --> 00:49:38,015
"with shouting and laughter.

641
00:49:47,192 --> 00:49:51,445
"When lo as they reached the mountainside,

642
00:49:51,613 --> 00:49:56,534
"a wondrous portal opened wide

643
00:49:57,369 --> 00:50:00,538
"as if a cavern was suddenly hollowed.

644
00:50:00,622 --> 00:50:03,249
"And the Piper advanced

645
00:50:03,375 --> 00:50:06,544
"and the children followed.

646
00:50:06,628 --> 00:50:09,130
"And when all were in
to the very last,

647
00:50:10,674 --> 00:50:13,551
"the door in the mountain side shut fast.

648
00:50:15,554 --> 00:50:17,054
"Did I say all?

649
00:50:17,180 --> 00:50:18,806
"No.

650
00:50:18,932 --> 00:50:20,808
"One was lame,

651
00:50:20,934 --> 00:50:23,436
"and could not dance
the whole of the way.

652
00:50:25,022 --> 00:50:28,691
"And then after years,
if you would blame his sadness,

653
00:50:30,027 --> 00:50:31,444
"he was used to say.

654
00:50:32,946 --> 00:50:35,740
"'It's dull in our town
since my playmates left.

655
00:50:36,658 --> 00:50:39,577
"'I can't forget that I am bereft.

656
00:50:40,495 --> 00:50:44,081
"'Of all the pleasant sights they see,

657
00:50:44,207 --> 00:50:46,584
"'which the Piper also promised me.

658
00:50:49,254 --> 00:50:51,839
"'For he led us he said
to a joyous land.

659
00:50:53,008 --> 00:50:55,593
"'Joining the town and just at hand.

660
00:50:58,764 --> 00:51:01,474
"'Where waters gushed

661
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,351
"'and fruit trees grew,

662
00:51:04,478 --> 00:51:07,104
"'and flowers put forth a fairer hue.

663
00:51:08,607 --> 00:51:12,401
"And everything is strange and new."'

664
00:51:33,298 --> 00:51:37,093
By the time I reached
the bottom of Bartlett Hill Road,

665
00:51:37,219 --> 00:51:40,221
I had half my load.

666
00:51:41,807 --> 00:51:44,517
Let's see... 20.

667
00:51:45,143 --> 00:51:48,562
No. 22 kids aboard.

668
00:51:49,648 --> 00:51:54,193
They'd, um... they'd walk
to their places on the main road,

669
00:51:54,319 --> 00:51:58,697
from the smaller lanes and...
private roadways that run off it.

670
00:52:01,493 --> 00:52:05,538
Bright little clusters of...
three and four children.

671
00:52:06,957 --> 00:52:09,125
Like...

672
00:52:09,209 --> 00:52:12,670
berries waitin' to be plucked.

673
00:52:15,465 --> 00:52:17,007
That's the way
I thought of them sometimes.

674
00:52:18,468 --> 00:52:21,762
Like berries.
- Yeah. Like I was...

675
00:52:21,888 --> 00:52:25,141
putting 'em into my big basket,

676
00:52:25,225 --> 00:52:27,184
clearing the hillside
of its children.

677
00:52:29,563 --> 00:52:33,315
Anyway, my next stop
was across from the Bide-A-While,

678
00:52:33,441 --> 00:52:38,529
which is owned and operated
by Risa and Wendell Walker.

679
00:52:38,655 --> 00:52:42,032
Risa had walked her son Sean
across the road,

680
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:43,826
which was customary.

681
00:52:44,161 --> 00:52:47,538
Sean, he has some kind
of learning disability.

682
00:52:47,664 --> 00:52:51,542
Well, he's behind the rest of...
the kids his age in school,

683
00:52:51,668 --> 00:52:55,212
and... like, he's too...

684
00:52:55,338 --> 00:52:57,882
nervous to play sports.

685
00:52:58,049 --> 00:53:01,552
Strange little guy.

686
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:03,596
But, you know,
you couldn't help but like him, eh?

687
00:53:07,517 --> 00:53:10,102
- 'Morning, Dolores.
- Hi, Risa.

688
00:53:10,228 --> 00:53:12,521
Aren't your feet freezin'?

689
00:53:12,647 --> 00:53:14,440
I guess they are.

690
00:53:14,566 --> 00:53:17,109
I wanna stay with you.

691
00:53:17,235 --> 00:53:19,111
Ah, Sean...

692
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:21,113
Go on, honey. Go on.

693
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,200
Come on, Sean.
Sit next to me.

694
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:26,202
Hey, Sean.

695
00:53:28,705 --> 00:53:30,581
Is he okay?
- I dunno.

696
00:53:30,707 --> 00:53:32,666
Temperature?

697
00:53:32,792 --> 00:53:35,211
No, he's not sick or anything.

698
00:53:35,337 --> 00:53:37,880
Just one of those mornings,
I guess.

699
00:53:38,006 --> 00:53:39,840
You know...

700
00:53:42,636 --> 00:53:47,556
Well, I never had...
those mornings myself.

701
00:53:47,682 --> 00:53:50,601
Not so long as I had my school bus
to drive.

702
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,482
Not so long as I had my ki... kids.

703
00:54:42,487 --> 00:54:44,405
You okay there, Sean?

704
00:54:44,531 --> 00:54:46,949
Looking forward to school?

705
00:54:47,075 --> 00:54:48,993
Now, you settle down back there!

706
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,997
Told ya, you'll be walking to school
if you're not careful.

707
00:54:55,041 --> 00:54:57,001
Don't want that.

708
00:54:57,168 --> 00:54:59,920
It's a cold day out there.
Eh, Bear?

709
00:55:52,223 --> 00:55:53,974
Oh, Jesus!

710
00:55:55,226 --> 00:55:56,810
Oh, Jesus!

711
00:56:21,503 --> 00:56:25,089
You know, every time I come
in of one these flights to rescue Zoe,

712
00:56:25,215 --> 00:56:28,884
I remember the summer
we almost lost her.

713
00:56:29,010 --> 00:56:31,095
She was 3 years old.

714
00:56:31,221 --> 00:56:35,474
Happened one morning at this...
cottage we used to rent.

715
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,270
We were all together
sleeping in bed.

716
00:56:41,856 --> 00:56:43,774
It was a wonderful time
in our lives.

717
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:48,737
We still felt we had a future together,
the three of us.

718
00:56:54,619 --> 00:56:58,580
Did you ever visit that cottage?
- I don't think so.

719
00:57:02,585 --> 00:57:05,087
I remember, I was...

720
00:57:05,171 --> 00:57:09,800
awaken by the sound of Zoe's breathing.
It was late, but...

721
00:57:09,926 --> 00:57:13,262
I looked across and noticed that...
she was sweating.

722
00:57:13,346 --> 00:57:15,973
And all swollen, I...

723
00:57:17,934 --> 00:57:20,185
I grabbed her and rushed
in the kitchen,

724
00:57:20,311 --> 00:57:23,522
splashed some water on her face.
- What happened?

725
00:57:23,648 --> 00:57:26,817
I didn't know,
I--I-- I was in a complete panic.

726
00:57:26,943 --> 00:57:29,486
I guessed she'd been bitten
by some insect, I...

727
00:57:29,612 --> 00:57:31,697
But there was no doctor.

728
00:57:31,823 --> 00:57:34,533
The nearest hospital
was 40 miles away, and...

729
00:57:34,659 --> 00:57:37,786
And she was continuing to swell up.
I mean...

730
00:57:39,956 --> 00:57:42,541
Klara took her in her arms,

731
00:57:42,667 --> 00:57:46,503
and tried to breastfeed her
while I dialed the hospital, and...

732
00:57:46,629 --> 00:57:49,339
I finally got a doctor.

733
00:57:51,342 --> 00:57:54,636
He surmised that there was a nest

734
00:57:54,721 --> 00:57:58,098
of baby black widow spiders
in the mattress.

735
00:57:58,725 --> 00:58:00,517
He said they had to be babies

736
00:58:00,643 --> 00:58:03,145
or else with Zoe's body weight,
she'd be dead.

737
00:58:03,229 --> 00:58:05,731
He said I had to rush her
to the hospital.

738
00:58:05,857 --> 00:58:07,024
He said, "Mr. Stevens,

739
00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:10,486
"there's a good chance you will get her here
before her throat closes.

740
00:58:10,612 --> 00:58:13,530
"But it's very important
that you keep her calm."

741
00:58:13,656 --> 00:58:15,782
Then he asked
if there was one of us

742
00:58:15,909 --> 00:58:17,493
that she was more relaxed with
than the other,

743
00:58:17,619 --> 00:58:21,872
and I said: "Yes, me,"
which was true enough, because...

744
00:58:21,998 --> 00:58:24,666
at that particular moment,
Klara's eyes were all...

745
00:58:24,792 --> 00:58:29,505
wild with fear and...
the fear was contagious.

746
00:58:33,468 --> 00:58:35,552
I was a better actor,
that's all.

747
00:58:39,140 --> 00:58:42,100
And Zoe...

748
00:58:42,227 --> 00:58:44,186
loved us equally then.

749
00:58:48,525 --> 00:58:52,194
Just as she hates us
both equally now.

750
00:58:56,616 --> 00:59:00,494
Anyway, the doctor said
that I-I... had to hold her on my lap,

751
00:59:00,620 --> 00:59:04,122
and let Klara drive to the hospital.

752
00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:07,084
He asked me to bring a small,
sharp knife.

753
00:59:07,252 --> 00:59:09,086
He said it had to be clean.

754
00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:12,506
There was no...
time to sterilize properly.

755
00:59:13,967 --> 00:59:17,594
He explained how to perform
an emergency tracheotomy.

756
00:59:20,473 --> 00:59:23,100
How to cut into her throat,
in her windpipe,

757
00:59:23,226 --> 00:59:25,769
without causing her to bleed to death.
He said there would be a lot of blood.

758
00:59:25,895 --> 00:59:28,146
I said I didn't think I could do it,
he said...

759
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:30,482
He said, "Mr. Stevens...

760
00:59:32,443 --> 00:59:34,278
"if her throat closes up

761
00:59:34,404 --> 00:59:36,363
"and the breathing stops,
you're gonna have to.

762
00:59:36,489 --> 00:59:39,366
"You will have about 1 minute
and a half, possibly 2 minutes,

763
00:59:39,492 --> 00:59:42,160
"since she'll probably unconscious
when you do it.

764
00:59:44,122 --> 00:59:48,125
"But if you manage to keep her calm
and relaxed...

765
00:59:52,297 --> 00:59:55,507
"...and not let her little heart
beat too fast,

766
00:59:57,885 --> 01:00:01,471
"uh... and spread the poison around,

767
01:00:02,432 --> 01:00:04,141
"you might just make it here first.

768
01:00:04,309 --> 01:00:07,811
"Now you get going," he said.
And he hung up.

769
01:00:14,902 --> 01:00:16,987
It was an unforgettable drive.

770
01:00:21,826 --> 01:00:24,494
I was... divided into two parts.

771
01:00:25,330 --> 01:00:27,706
One part was daddy...

772
01:00:27,832 --> 01:00:29,916
singing a lullaby to his little girl,

773
01:00:30,043 --> 01:00:31,835
and the other part was...

774
01:00:35,173 --> 01:00:39,217
...surgeon with a knife,
ready to cut into her throat.

775
01:00:43,181 --> 01:00:46,391
I waited for the second
Zoe's breath stopped

776
01:00:46,517 --> 01:00:48,060
to make the incision.

777
01:00:50,563 --> 01:00:52,689
What happened?

778
01:00:56,694 --> 01:00:58,612
- Mm?
- What happened?

779
01:01:00,573 --> 01:01:05,118
- Oh, nothing.
- But...

780
01:01:05,203 --> 01:01:08,121
We... got to the hospital in time.

781
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:13,210
I did not have to go as far
as I was prepared to go.

782
01:01:16,547 --> 01:01:19,549
But I was prepared
to go all the way.

783
01:01:30,228 --> 01:01:33,271
Hush little baby
don't say a word

784
01:01:33,398 --> 01:01:37,359
Daddy's gonna buy you
a mockingbird

785
01:03:35,561 --> 01:03:37,813
I knew you'd be here.

786
01:03:46,197 --> 01:03:48,114
Are you going to the funeral?

787
01:03:48,241 --> 01:03:51,117
I stopped by the station
a while ago and, uh...

788
01:03:51,244 --> 01:03:53,245
I stared at the bus.

789
01:03:55,248 --> 01:03:57,582
Almost heard the kids inside.

790
01:04:00,545 --> 01:04:04,506
There was a lawyer there
who said, uh...

791
01:04:04,632 --> 01:04:06,508
gotten you signed up;
is that true?

792
01:04:06,634 --> 01:04:08,510
Something made this happen, Billy,

793
01:04:08,636 --> 01:04:10,428
and Mr. Stevens said he's gonna find out-

794
01:04:10,555 --> 01:04:13,515
What are you talkin' about, Risa?
It was an accident.

795
01:04:13,641 --> 01:04:15,517
Mr. Stevens said that someone put
a wrong bolt on the bus.

796
01:04:15,643 --> 01:04:19,312
I serviced the bus, Risa,
at the garage.

797
01:04:19,438 --> 01:04:20,522
There was nothing wrong with it.

798
01:04:20,648 --> 01:04:24,109
Or that the guardrail
wasn't strong enough.

799
01:04:24,902 --> 01:04:25,986
You believe that?

800
01:04:26,654 --> 01:04:28,572
I have to.

801
01:04:31,576 --> 01:04:33,577
- Why?
- Because I have to.

802
01:04:36,539 --> 01:04:38,582
Well, I don't.

803
01:04:40,543 --> 01:04:42,878
Is it true you gave Nicole

804
01:04:43,004 --> 01:04:46,548
one of Lydia's sweaters?

805
01:04:46,674 --> 01:04:50,552
And she was wearing it
when the bus crashed?

806
01:04:50,678 --> 01:04:52,596
Yeah.

807
01:04:55,641 --> 01:04:58,184
Why d'you do that, Billy?

808
01:04:58,311 --> 01:05:01,563
What, you think that caused
the accident, Risa?

809
01:05:01,689 --> 01:05:03,815
That it brought bad luck?

810
01:05:04,650 --> 01:05:08,945
Christ... it sounds like you're looking
for a witchdoctor, not a lawyer.

811
01:05:09,196 --> 01:05:10,989
Maybe they're the same thing.

812
01:05:15,453 --> 01:05:17,495
You know what I'm gonna miss?

813
01:05:19,123 --> 01:05:20,373
?ore than making love?

814
01:05:20,499 --> 01:05:23,168
It's the nights you couldn't get away
from Wendell.

815
01:05:25,504 --> 01:05:27,964
Nights I'd just sit in that chair
for an hour.

816
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:33,303
Smoking a cigarette,
remembering my life before.

817
01:05:47,193 --> 01:05:50,487
The mind is kind.

818
01:05:50,655 --> 01:05:53,531
You are so lucky.
- Don't even...

819
01:05:53,658 --> 01:05:56,576
try to remember...

820
01:05:56,702 --> 01:05:58,745
Yes, you just think about
getting well, Nicole.

821
01:05:58,871 --> 01:06:01,039
That's all.
- Yeah.

822
01:06:01,707 --> 01:06:06,252
You just... wait till you see
what we got waitin' for you at home.

823
01:06:30,528 --> 01:06:33,071
How do you like it, Nicole?

824
01:06:33,197 --> 01:06:35,073
- The ramp?
- Yes...

825
01:06:35,199 --> 01:06:38,493
It's pretty slick, eh?
- Very slick.

826
01:06:38,619 --> 01:06:42,080
- You like the colour?
- It's okay.

827
01:06:42,206 --> 01:06:45,417
'Cause I could paint it differently
if you'd like.

828
01:06:45,543 --> 01:06:46,501
It'd be really easy to do.

829
01:06:46,627 --> 01:06:49,462
Yeah, I don't know about that green.

830
01:06:49,588 --> 01:06:51,339
I'm not too sure about that colour.

831
01:06:51,465 --> 01:06:53,550
And I widened a few doors too.

832
01:06:53,718 --> 01:06:57,220
You'll see.

833
01:06:59,181 --> 01:07:01,558
Hello?...

834
01:07:03,561 --> 01:07:05,729
- Okay.
- Oh, hi, ?itch...

835
01:07:07,690 --> 01:07:10,358
We just brought her home...

836
01:07:10,484 --> 01:07:12,360
She's doing fine, uh...

837
01:07:14,113 --> 01:07:17,157
Well, I don't know.
She hasn't seen it yet...

838
01:07:19,118 --> 01:07:22,162
We ha...
we haven't talked about it.

839
01:07:24,123 --> 01:07:26,082
Okay, great, ?itch...

840
01:07:26,208 --> 01:07:29,419
Right. Bye-bye.

841
01:07:29,545 --> 01:07:31,046
What do you think?

842
01:07:31,172 --> 01:07:34,090
- The door needs a lock.
- Sure.

843
01:07:34,216 --> 01:07:36,468
I'll... fix that right away.

844
01:07:38,512 --> 01:07:40,472
Can I come and visit you here?

845
01:07:40,598 --> 01:07:42,807
You better.

846
01:07:42,933 --> 01:07:44,976
You can sleep with me
in my bed too, okay?

847
01:07:45,102 --> 01:07:46,478
- Okay.
- Mm...

848
01:07:54,904 --> 01:07:57,155
It's too high.
I'll never reach it.

849
01:08:00,910 --> 01:08:02,535
Oh, uh...

850
01:08:04,580 --> 01:08:06,206
I'd better get some spackle.

851
01:08:11,337 --> 01:08:14,422
So? Do you like your new room?

852
01:08:15,966 --> 01:08:18,968
Um... it's interesting.

853
01:08:19,595 --> 01:08:22,722
Your dad spent
all his spare time in here.

854
01:08:22,848 --> 01:08:23,807
Mm...

855
01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:26,059
He wanted it
to be absolutely perfect.

856
01:08:26,185 --> 01:08:28,353
I feel like a princess.

857
01:08:32,942 --> 01:08:35,485
What's that?

858
01:08:35,611 --> 01:08:38,488
It is...

859
01:08:38,614 --> 01:08:40,490
a present.

860
01:08:41,742 --> 01:08:45,411
- From you?
- No, uh...

861
01:08:45,538 --> 01:08:47,080
From Mr. Stevens.

862
01:08:47,206 --> 01:08:49,541
That was him on the phone just now.

863
01:08:49,667 --> 01:08:51,501
He was calling to find out
how you were.

864
01:08:51,627 --> 01:08:53,586
Who's Mr. Stevens?

865
01:08:53,712 --> 01:08:56,548
Uh, he's a lawyer.
He's our lawyer.

866
01:08:56,674 --> 01:08:58,758
You and mom have a lawyer?

867
01:08:58,884 --> 01:09:00,552
Well, yes.

868
01:09:00,678 --> 01:09:02,971
He's your lawyer too.
- My lawyer?

869
01:09:03,097 --> 01:09:05,932
Why do I need a lawyer?
- Maybe we shouldn't be talking

870
01:09:06,058 --> 01:09:08,685
about this just now
with you barely home.

871
01:09:08,811 --> 01:09:09,769
Aren't you hungry, honey?

872
01:09:09,895 --> 01:09:12,981
You want me to fix you something?
- No. What's this lawyer business?

873
01:09:13,107 --> 01:09:15,108
He's a... very kind man.

874
01:09:15,234 --> 01:09:19,487
And he knew that you'd need a computer
for doing school work.

875
01:09:19,613 --> 01:09:22,657
It's even got a... a thing, uh...
- Program.

876
01:09:22,783 --> 01:09:25,952
...program on it
to help you compose your songs.

877
01:09:31,542 --> 01:09:34,544
"Fathers... mothers...

878
01:09:34,670 --> 01:09:39,090
"uncles... cousins...

879
01:09:39,216 --> 01:09:41,509
"families,

880
01:09:41,635 --> 01:09:44,512
"by tens and dozens...

881
01:09:44,638 --> 01:09:48,766
"brothers, sisters,

882
01:09:49,518 --> 01:09:52,228
"husbands, wives...

883
01:09:54,231 --> 01:09:56,816
"followed the piper for their lives."

884
01:10:19,798 --> 01:10:21,007
Well, Nicole,

885
01:10:22,134 --> 01:10:25,595
I've been wanting to meet you
for a long time.

886
01:10:25,721 --> 01:10:30,016
Not just because of all the good things
I've heard about you.

887
01:10:32,019 --> 01:10:34,562
But because...

888
01:10:34,688 --> 01:10:36,898
well, I'm the guy
who's representing you,

889
01:10:37,024 --> 01:10:40,109
and your mom and dad,
and several people in town.

890
01:10:41,070 --> 01:10:44,697
We're trying to generate, however meager,
some compensation...

891
01:10:47,284 --> 01:10:49,035
for what you've suffered.

892
01:10:52,289 --> 01:10:54,249
At the same time,

893
01:10:54,375 --> 01:10:57,877
to make sure that an accident like this
never happens again.

894
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,548
I don't like thinking
about the accident.

895
01:11:03,884 --> 01:11:06,135
I don't even remember it happening.

896
01:11:08,097 --> 01:11:09,681
Besides...

897
01:11:11,517 --> 01:11:14,811
it just makes people
feel sorry for me, and...

898
01:11:15,896 --> 01:11:17,981
- You hate that.
- What she means...

899
01:11:21,443 --> 01:11:23,486
People can't help it, Nicole.

900
01:11:23,654 --> 01:11:25,488
I mean, they see you
in this wheelchair...

901
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:28,658
They're gonna feel sorry for you.

902
01:11:28,826 --> 01:11:30,660
I didn't know you.

903
01:11:30,786 --> 01:11:34,497
Nor how promising and exciting your life was
before the accident.

904
01:11:34,665 --> 01:11:38,501
But listen,
even I feel sorry for you.

905
01:11:44,925 --> 01:11:48,136
What is it what you want me
to do for you, Mr. Stevens?

906
01:11:49,930 --> 01:11:52,765
They work for the people
that we're trying to sue.

907
01:11:54,768 --> 01:11:59,605
See, their job is to minimize damages
and ours is to try and maximize them.

908
01:12:02,234 --> 01:12:04,235
That's the way you have to think of it,
Nicole.

909
01:12:04,361 --> 01:12:06,029
It's people doing their jobs.

910
01:12:06,155 --> 01:12:07,864
There's no good guys
or bad guys.

911
01:12:08,032 --> 01:12:10,992
There's just their side and our side.
- I won't lie.

912
01:12:11,118 --> 01:12:13,328
I don't want you to lie.

913
01:12:13,454 --> 01:12:16,581
No matter what I'm asked,
I'll tell the truth.

914
01:12:17,958 --> 01:12:21,127
Of course.
I need you to tell the truth.

915
01:12:21,253 --> 01:12:24,339
And... and I'll be right there
to advise you.

916
01:12:24,465 --> 01:12:26,674
There'll be a court stenographer
who'll record everything.

917
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:31,095
And that's what'll go to the judge
before the trial is set.

918
01:12:31,221 --> 01:12:33,264
And it'll be the same
for everyone.

919
01:12:33,390 --> 01:12:35,391
They'll be deposing
the Ottos, the Walkers,

920
01:12:35,517 --> 01:12:37,393
Dolores, your mom and dad...

921
01:12:38,395 --> 01:12:40,313
But I'll make sure that...
you go last.

922
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,233
- Why?
- So that you can go on getting well.

923
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,028
So that you're able to get up there
and do this.

924
01:12:49,531 --> 01:12:51,199
Because it's not gonna be easy.

925
01:12:51,325 --> 01:12:53,076
Nicole, you do understand that.

926
01:12:54,703 --> 01:12:56,579
When do they award the damages?

927
01:13:03,796 --> 01:13:06,798
That depends. It could drag on
for quite a while.

928
01:13:08,008 --> 01:13:10,593
They will be there at the end,
Sam, don't you worry.

929
01:14:56,533 --> 01:14:58,951
I'm here about your children, Mr. Ansel.

930
01:15:00,204 --> 01:15:02,538
My name is--
- Mister, I don't want know your name.

931
01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:04,457
I understand.

932
01:15:06,752 --> 01:15:08,169
No, you don't.

933
01:15:08,295 --> 01:15:10,129
Get the fuck away from the bus.

934
01:15:12,966 --> 01:15:15,092
I can help you.

935
01:15:15,219 --> 01:15:17,553
Not unless you can raise the dead.

936
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,562
Here. You may change your mind.

937
01:15:32,528 --> 01:15:36,030
Mitchell Stevens, Esquire.
Tell me, would you be likely to sue me

938
01:15:36,156 --> 01:15:38,115
if I was to beat you right now?

939
01:15:39,576 --> 01:15:42,828
I mean, beat you so bad you'd piss blood
and couldn't walk for a month.

940
01:15:42,955 --> 01:15:44,705
Because that's what I'm about to do.

941
01:15:44,831 --> 01:15:48,042
No, Mr. Ansel,
I wouldn't sue you.

942
01:15:48,168 --> 01:15:50,461
You leave us alone, Stevens.

943
01:15:51,255 --> 01:15:53,965
You leave the people of this town alone.

944
01:15:54,925 --> 01:15:56,008
You can't help.

945
01:15:56,134 --> 01:15:57,760
You can help each other.

946
01:16:00,013 --> 01:16:02,765
Several people in the town
have agreed

947
01:16:02,891 --> 01:16:04,892
to let me represent them
in a negligence suit.

948
01:16:05,018 --> 01:16:07,436
Now your case as an individual

949
01:16:07,604 --> 01:16:10,898
will be stronger if I'm allowed
to represent you together, as a group.

950
01:16:11,024 --> 01:16:12,483
- Case?
- The Walkers have agreed,

951
01:16:12,609 --> 01:16:15,611
the Ottos have agreed,
Nicole Burnell's parents.

952
01:16:16,321 --> 01:16:20,032
It's important that we
initiate proceedings right away.

953
01:16:20,784 --> 01:16:23,452
Things get covered up,
people lie.

954
01:16:24,830 --> 01:16:27,623
That's why we must begin
our investigation quickly,

955
01:16:27,749 --> 01:16:30,126
before the evidence disappears.
That's what I'm doing out here.

956
01:16:30,252 --> 01:16:32,461
Listen, I know Risa
and Wendell Walker.

957
01:16:33,213 --> 01:16:35,464
They wouldn't hire a goddamn lawyer.

958
01:16:37,426 --> 01:16:39,135
The Ottos, they wouldn't deal with you.

959
01:16:39,261 --> 01:16:42,722
We're not country bumpkins
you can put the big city hustle on.

960
01:16:42,848 --> 01:16:44,515
You're angry, Mr. Ansel.

961
01:16:44,641 --> 01:16:47,059
And you owe it to yourself
to feel that way.

962
01:16:47,185 --> 01:16:49,061
All I'm saying is...

963
01:16:49,187 --> 01:16:51,147
Let me direct your rage.

964
01:16:58,655 --> 01:17:00,531
That's my daughter.

965
01:17:04,661 --> 01:17:07,538
Or it may be the police
to tell me they found her dead.

966
01:17:07,664 --> 01:17:09,665
She's a drug addict.

967
01:17:11,668 --> 01:17:13,586
Why are you telling me this?

968
01:17:15,255 --> 01:17:17,548
Why am I telling you this,
Mr. Ansel?

969
01:17:17,674 --> 01:17:19,175
I'm...

970
01:17:24,681 --> 01:17:26,515
Because we've all lost our children.

971
01:17:30,270 --> 01:17:31,520
They're dead to us.

972
01:17:34,274 --> 01:17:36,525
They're killing each other
in the streets.

973
01:17:39,196 --> 01:17:42,531
They wander, comatose,
in shopping malls.

974
01:17:48,705 --> 01:17:53,042
Something terrible has happened
that's taken our children away.

975
01:17:55,045 --> 01:17:57,213
It's too late.

976
01:17:59,716 --> 01:18:02,134
They're gone.

977
01:18:10,602 --> 01:18:13,437
Collect call from Zoe.
Will you accept the charges?

978
01:18:14,940 --> 01:18:16,107
Daddy?

979
01:18:18,110 --> 01:18:19,610
Yes.

980
01:18:19,736 --> 01:18:22,029
I'm calling because I've got
some news for you, Daddy.

981
01:18:22,155 --> 01:18:24,323
Some big news.
- News?

982
01:18:24,449 --> 01:18:26,450
Don't you wanna hear?

983
01:18:26,576 --> 01:18:29,495
Yes, give me the news, Zoe.

984
01:18:29,621 --> 01:18:30,830
Huh... you always think you know

985
01:18:30,956 --> 01:18:33,082
what I'm gonna say before I say it.
Don't you, Daddy?

986
01:18:33,208 --> 01:18:36,377
You always think you're one step
ahead of me. The lawyer.

987
01:18:38,338 --> 01:18:40,673
Tell me your news, Zoe.

988
01:18:41,591 --> 01:18:44,468
Okay. Yesterday,
I went to sell my blood.

989
01:18:45,345 --> 01:18:47,221
- Mmm!
- That's how it is.

990
01:18:47,347 --> 01:18:50,516
I'm in this fucking city
and I'm selling my blood.

991
01:18:51,351 --> 01:18:53,728
That's not news, Zoe.

992
01:18:53,854 --> 01:18:56,105
No, but this is.

993
01:18:56,231 --> 01:18:58,482
They wouldn't take my blood.

994
01:18:59,901 --> 01:19:02,236
Do you know what that means, Daddy?
Does it register?

995
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:06,157
I tested positive.

996
01:19:10,370 --> 01:19:11,954
Yes.

997
01:19:13,206 --> 01:19:15,791
Welcome to hard times, Daddy.

998
01:19:19,004 --> 01:19:20,880
What do you want me to do, Zoe?

999
01:19:21,798 --> 01:19:23,174
I'll do whatever you want.

1000
01:19:24,593 --> 01:19:26,093
I need money.

1001
01:19:26,219 --> 01:19:27,303
What for?

1002
01:19:27,429 --> 01:19:29,930
No, you cannot ask me that?
Not anymore!

1003
01:19:30,056 --> 01:19:31,140
You asked me what I wanted,

1004
01:19:31,266 --> 01:19:33,017
not what I wanted it for!
I want money!

1005
01:19:36,229 --> 01:19:38,689
Do you have a... blood test?

1006
01:19:38,815 --> 01:19:41,984
You don't believe me?
You don't fucking believe me?!

1007
01:19:42,110 --> 01:19:44,111
Of course I believe you.

1008
01:19:44,821 --> 01:19:47,490
I just thought I'd get you another test

1009
01:19:47,616 --> 01:19:49,283
in case the one you got was wrong.

1010
01:19:49,409 --> 01:19:51,911
Huh... I like it when
you don't believe me, Daddy.

1011
01:19:52,037 --> 01:19:54,205
It's better that you don't believe me
but have to act like you do.

1012
01:20:01,379 --> 01:20:04,423
I can hear you breathing, Daddy.

1013
01:20:07,260 --> 01:20:09,553
Yes, I can hear you breathing, too.

1014
01:20:15,727 --> 01:20:18,312
God, I'm scared.

1015
01:20:22,192 --> 01:20:25,528
I love you, Zoe.

1016
01:20:25,654 --> 01:20:27,571
I'll soon be there.

1017
01:20:30,575 --> 01:20:32,576
I'll take care of you.

1018
01:20:37,582 --> 01:20:40,251
No matter what happens,
I'll take care of you.

1019
01:21:06,486 --> 01:21:07,987
I have a question for you,

1020
01:21:08,113 --> 01:21:11,115
Mr. Stevens.
- Yes, Dolores, what is it?

1021
01:21:12,909 --> 01:21:14,368
Well...

1022
01:21:14,494 --> 01:21:15,786
I told you that...

1023
01:21:16,496 --> 01:21:19,540
I was doing 50 miles an hour
when the bus went over.

1024
01:21:19,666 --> 01:21:22,084
And... that's how I remembered it.

1025
01:21:22,210 --> 01:21:24,545
But how can I prove that?

1026
01:21:25,130 --> 01:21:28,382
Billy Ansel will insist
that you were doing 50 miles an hour,

1027
01:21:28,508 --> 01:21:31,510
just like you've done every morning
for the past 15 years.

1028
01:21:31,636 --> 01:21:34,346
He knows that? Billy?

1029
01:21:34,472 --> 01:21:36,015
Yes, he does.

1030
01:21:36,141 --> 01:21:37,308
- He said that?
- Mm-hmm.

1031
01:21:37,434 --> 01:21:39,268
- You... you talked to Billy?
- I did.

1032
01:21:39,394 --> 01:21:41,145
And-- and he told you
that he'd say that-

1033
01:21:41,271 --> 01:21:42,396
Mrs. Driscoll...

1034
01:21:45,150 --> 01:21:49,570
If Billy does not volunteer
to say so in court,

1035
01:21:49,696 --> 01:21:52,615
then... I will subpoena him

1036
01:21:52,741 --> 01:21:55,951
and oblige him to testify
to that effect.

1037
01:21:56,077 --> 01:21:58,412
But in order to do that,

1038
01:21:58,538 --> 01:22:02,374
you have to let me bring a suit
in your name,

1039
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:06,420
charging negligent infliction
of emotional harm.

1040
01:22:06,546 --> 01:22:10,049
Because what is so obvious to me
and to other people

1041
01:22:10,175 --> 01:22:12,885
is the magnitude,
the sheer magnitude,

1042
01:22:13,011 --> 01:22:15,262
of your suffering.

1043
01:22:15,388 --> 01:22:17,806
- What other people?
- Excuse me?

1044
01:22:17,974 --> 01:22:20,809
Who has been talking to you
about what I am feeling?

1045
01:22:20,977 --> 01:22:22,895
Who should care
about what I am feeling?

1046
01:22:23,021 --> 01:22:26,440
Dolores, people have to know
about your suffering.

1047
01:22:26,566 --> 01:22:28,442
And they won't understand

1048
01:22:28,568 --> 01:22:32,154
until I can clear your name,
your good name, once and for all.

1049
01:22:32,322 --> 01:22:34,156
Now will you let me do this?

1050
01:22:34,783 --> 01:22:38,494
Will you let me do my duty?

1051
01:22:54,386 --> 01:22:55,636
Shh...

1052
01:23:08,608 --> 01:23:09,692
You heard what Abbott said?

1053
01:23:13,321 --> 01:23:14,446
Abbott said,

1054
01:23:14,572 --> 01:23:17,282
"The true jury of a person's peers

1055
01:23:18,284 --> 01:23:19,827
"is the people of her town.

1056
01:23:21,037 --> 01:23:25,207
"Only they, the people who have known her
all her life,

1057
01:23:26,251 --> 01:23:31,046
"and not 12 strangers,
can decide her guilt or innocence."

1058
01:23:32,632 --> 01:23:34,216
That's what he said, is it?

1059
01:23:34,342 --> 01:23:36,051
Yeah.

1060
01:23:38,054 --> 01:23:39,722
Abbott understands these things.

1061
01:24:14,215 --> 01:24:15,549
I remember...

1062
01:24:17,510 --> 01:24:19,803
wrenching the steering wheel to my left.

1063
01:24:22,557 --> 01:24:25,392
And slapping my foot
against the brake pedal.

1064
01:24:27,353 --> 01:24:29,396
I wasn't the driver anymore.

1065
01:24:31,524 --> 01:24:33,525
The bus was like this...

1066
01:24:34,611 --> 01:24:39,990
huge... wave...
about to break over us.

1067
01:24:44,579 --> 01:24:45,704
Bear Otto...

1068
01:24:48,333 --> 01:24:49,583
The Landston kids...

1069
01:24:51,544 --> 01:24:53,629
The Hamiltons...

1070
01:24:55,632 --> 01:24:57,549
The Prescotts...

1071
01:24:58,968 --> 01:25:02,429
The teenage boys and girls
from Bartlett Hill Road...

1072
01:25:03,723 --> 01:25:05,474
Pete...

1073
01:25:06,142 --> 01:25:08,060
Suzie...

1074
01:25:08,186 --> 01:25:09,728
Laurel...

1075
01:25:11,189 --> 01:25:12,564
Rick...

1076
01:25:13,608 --> 01:25:15,526
Sean Walker...

1077
01:25:17,737 --> 01:25:19,530
Nicole Burnell...

1078
01:25:23,159 --> 01:25:24,576
Billy Ansel's twins,

1079
01:25:25,954 --> 01:25:27,621
Jessica et Mason...

1080
01:25:30,834 --> 01:25:33,544
All the children of my town.

1081
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:49,768
And then what happened?

1082
01:26:35,648 --> 01:26:37,691
Hey, Billy. Come on in.

1083
01:26:37,817 --> 01:26:39,651
Take a load off.

1084
01:26:40,820 --> 01:26:42,529
Would you like a cup of tea, Billy?

1085
01:26:42,655 --> 01:26:44,698
There's a piece of cake for ya.
- No.

1086
01:26:44,824 --> 01:26:46,241
No thanks, Mary.

1087
01:26:48,244 --> 01:26:50,704
So, what brings you out tonight?

1088
01:26:50,830 --> 01:26:52,831
Well, I might as well
tell you the truth, Sam.

1089
01:26:52,957 --> 01:26:57,127
It's about this lawsuit
that you got yourself all involved with.

1090
01:26:58,254 --> 01:27:00,255
Well, I'd like you to drop
the damn thing.

1091
01:27:03,259 --> 01:27:05,427
I don't see how it concerns you, Billy.

1092
01:27:06,846 --> 01:27:08,430
Well, it does concern me.

1093
01:27:08,848 --> 01:27:10,599
I don't know why it should.

1094
01:27:12,852 --> 01:27:16,104
I mean, there's a whole lot of people in
this town who got involved with lawsuits.

1095
01:27:16,856 --> 01:27:18,607
Hardly unique here, Billy.

1096
01:27:22,862 --> 01:27:25,280
I mean... I can understand
how you feel.

1097
01:27:26,866 --> 01:27:28,116
How?

1098
01:27:29,994 --> 01:27:31,954
Well...

1099
01:27:32,121 --> 01:27:34,122
it being so depressing and all.

1100
01:27:35,458 --> 01:27:37,167
But that's reality.

1101
01:27:37,293 --> 01:27:40,003
Can't just turn this off because you happen
to think it's a bad idea.

1102
01:27:43,883 --> 01:27:45,050
Why not?

1103
01:27:45,176 --> 01:27:47,552
Because it's...
what we have to do.

1104
01:27:47,679 --> 01:27:49,304
Well, I don't want
a damn thing to do with it.

1105
01:27:50,890 --> 01:27:52,140
Okay, fine.

1106
01:27:52,308 --> 01:27:54,101
So stay out of it.

1107
01:27:54,227 --> 01:27:56,061
Well, I've tried to stay out of it, Sam.

1108
01:27:56,187 --> 01:27:58,105
Turns out that's not so easy.

1109
01:27:59,190 --> 01:28:01,400
Because you've gone and got yourself
this lawyer,

1110
01:28:01,526 --> 01:28:03,527
Mitchell Stevens.
- So?

1111
01:28:04,362 --> 01:28:05,946
I mean, lots of folks got lawyers.

1112
01:28:06,072 --> 01:28:07,781
But he's the one
who's gonna subpoena me, Sam.

1113
01:28:07,907 --> 01:28:09,908
He's gonna force me to testify in court.

1114
01:28:11,744 --> 01:28:13,578
He came by the garage this afternoon.

1115
01:28:16,124 --> 01:28:19,418
Gave me that slip of paper.
- Why would he do that?

1116
01:28:19,544 --> 01:28:22,629
I mean, you didn't have anything to do
with the accident.

1117
01:28:22,755 --> 01:28:24,673
Because I was driving behind the bus.

1118
01:28:25,925 --> 01:28:27,426
I saw it happen.

1119
01:28:27,552 --> 01:28:29,636
Now, if that son of a bitch
does subpoena me,

1120
01:28:29,762 --> 01:28:31,680
if he forces me to go over
all this again,

1121
01:28:32,348 --> 01:28:34,516
then all those other lawyers
are gonna line up behind him

1122
01:28:34,642 --> 01:28:37,185
and try and do the same thing.
- That's not gonna happen, Billy.

1123
01:28:37,312 --> 01:28:40,605
?itch Stevens' case is small
compared to some of these guys.

1124
01:28:41,607 --> 01:28:42,941
The way he told me...

1125
01:28:43,943 --> 01:28:47,195
All he needs is for... you to say
what you saw that day...

1126
01:28:47,322 --> 01:28:49,614
...driving behind the bus.

1127
01:28:51,743 --> 01:28:53,702
I know it's a painful thing to do, but-

1128
01:28:53,870 --> 01:28:55,829
There's lawyers suing lawyers

1129
01:28:55,955 --> 01:28:57,831
because some people
were stupid enough

1130
01:28:57,957 --> 01:29:00,375
to sign on with more
than one of the bastards.

1131
01:29:01,085 --> 01:29:02,711
There's people pointing fingers

1132
01:29:02,837 --> 01:29:04,921
and making side-deals...

1133
01:29:07,133 --> 01:29:09,217
dickering over percentages.

1134
01:29:09,344 --> 01:29:11,720
You know, if you two
dropped the case,

1135
01:29:12,722 --> 01:29:14,473
then the others are gonna
come to their senses

1136
01:29:14,599 --> 01:29:17,476
and they'll follow you. You're good,
sensible parents, you and Mary.

1137
01:29:17,602 --> 01:29:19,561
People... respect you.

1138
01:29:23,399 --> 01:29:27,152
No, Billy.
I can't drop the lawsuit.

1139
01:29:27,278 --> 01:29:29,446
I mean, you know how much
we need the money.

1140
01:29:29,989 --> 01:29:33,450
Why? You got the money from
Dolores' insurance with the school board.

1141
01:29:34,410 --> 01:29:35,869
We all did.

1142
01:29:35,995 --> 01:29:38,997
It's not enough. I mean,
for the hospital bills for Nicole.

1143
01:29:39,624 --> 01:29:41,166
Well, I'll help you
pay for Nicole

1144
01:29:41,292 --> 01:29:43,460
if that's what you're really
talking about.

1145
01:29:48,007 --> 01:29:50,425
I'll even give you the money
I got for my kids.

1146
01:29:52,095 --> 01:29:54,513
That's what we used to do, remember?

1147
01:29:54,639 --> 01:29:56,556
Help each other.

1148
01:29:59,227 --> 01:30:01,019
'Cause this was a community.

1149
01:30:02,939 --> 01:30:03,939
I'm sorry.

1150
01:30:18,538 --> 01:30:20,497
How is Nicole?

1151
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,583
She's resting...
in her room.

1152
01:30:27,046 --> 01:30:28,588
Say hello for me.

1153
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,493
You know, we're getting on
with our lives, Billy.

1154
01:31:00,079 --> 01:31:01,913
Maybe it's time
you got on with yours.

1155
01:31:09,297 --> 01:31:10,714
Yeah?

1156
01:31:17,346 --> 01:31:18,597
Are you sleeping?

1157
01:31:36,741 --> 01:31:39,993
Nicole, tomorrow, Mr. Stevens
wants you to make your deposition

1158
01:31:40,119 --> 01:31:41,953
at the community centre.

1159
01:31:43,122 --> 01:31:46,249
I thought I'd take you over.
- Great.

1160
01:31:50,588 --> 01:31:51,963
You seem, uh...

1161
01:31:53,341 --> 01:31:54,549
I don't know, uh...

1162
01:31:56,135 --> 01:31:59,596
Distant, I guess.
Hard to talk to.

1163
01:32:02,141 --> 01:32:04,893
Quickly

1164
01:32:05,019 --> 01:32:07,437
Something familiar

1165
01:32:10,149 --> 01:32:13,109
We didn't use to have to talk a lot,
did we, Daddy?

1166
01:32:14,570 --> 01:32:15,779
What do you mean?

1167
01:32:19,575 --> 01:32:20,951
I mean...

1168
01:32:22,161 --> 01:32:23,828
I'm a wheelchair girl now.

1169
01:32:23,955 --> 01:32:27,582
And it's hard to pretend
that I'm a beautiful rock star.

1170
01:32:30,419 --> 01:32:31,545
Remember, Daddy?

1171
01:32:33,172 --> 01:32:35,590
That beautiful stage
that you were gonna build for me.

1172
01:32:38,553 --> 01:32:41,513
You were gonna light it
with nothing but candles.

1173
01:32:41,639 --> 01:32:43,473
And piss on

1174
01:32:44,392 --> 01:32:47,018
All your surroundings

1175
01:32:49,146 --> 01:32:50,397
Courage

1176
01:32:51,190 --> 01:32:52,190
My word

1177
01:32:52,984 --> 01:32:55,652
It didn't come
it doesn't matter

1178
01:32:56,195 --> 01:32:57,404
Courage

1179
01:32:58,364 --> 01:32:59,906
Your word

1180
01:33:00,032 --> 01:33:01,449
Okay.

1181
01:33:03,411 --> 01:33:06,955
I'll take you about...
9:30 in the morning.

1182
01:33:08,541 --> 01:33:09,791
It's okay with you?

1183
01:33:10,626 --> 01:33:11,626
Great.

1184
01:33:12,503 --> 01:33:17,007
It couldn't come at a worst time

1185
01:33:20,845 --> 01:33:25,932
Simple explanation

1186
01:33:27,059 --> 01:33:29,853
For anything important

1187
01:33:31,022 --> 01:33:33,148
Any of us do

1188
01:33:34,734 --> 01:33:36,818
And yeah the human

1189
01:33:38,696 --> 01:33:40,530
Tragedy

1190
01:33:42,283 --> 01:33:43,992
Consists in

1191
01:33:45,494 --> 01:33:47,662
The necessity

1192
01:33:49,248 --> 01:33:51,416
Of living with

1193
01:33:52,918 --> 01:33:55,795
The consequences

1194
01:33:56,464 --> 01:34:02,135
Under pressure

1195
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:05,847
Courage

1196
01:34:06,390 --> 01:34:07,974
My word

1197
01:34:08,100 --> 01:34:10,894
It didn't come
it doesn't matter

1198
01:34:11,687 --> 01:34:13,063
Courage

1199
01:34:13,272 --> 01:34:15,148
Your word

1200
01:34:15,274 --> 01:34:18,109
It didn't come
it doesn't matter

1201
01:34:18,903 --> 01:34:20,153
Courage

1202
01:34:20,655 --> 01:34:21,988
My word

1203
01:34:22,114 --> 01:34:24,866
It didn't come
it doesn't matter

1204
01:34:25,993 --> 01:34:27,035
Courage

1205
01:34:27,495 --> 01:34:37,796
It couldn't come
at a worst time

1206
01:34:38,881 --> 01:34:41,132
No no no

1207
01:34:42,134 --> 01:34:45,011
It couldn't come
at a worst time

1208
01:34:56,315 --> 01:34:57,440
Courage

1209
01:34:57,566 --> 01:35:00,735
"When lo,
as they reached the mountainside,

1210
01:35:01,654 --> 01:35:03,738
"a wondrous portal opened wide

1211
01:35:04,949 --> 01:35:07,283
"as if a cavern was suddenly hollowed

1212
01:35:08,327 --> 01:35:10,453
"and the piper advanced

1213
01:35:10,579 --> 01:35:13,081
"and the children followed.

1214
01:35:13,749 --> 01:35:16,459
"And when all were in
to the very last,

"No.

01:35:28,848 --> 01:35:32,183
"and could not dance
the whole of the way."

1220
01:35:40,568 --> 01:35:42,360
Now, Nicole,
if we could continue.

1221
01:35:43,362 --> 01:35:46,489
On that morning, did there come a time
when you left your parents' house?

1222
01:35:46,615 --> 01:35:47,782
Yes.

1223
01:35:48,617 --> 01:35:52,454
- And what time in the morning was this?
- About 8:30 in the morning.

1224
01:35:54,457 --> 01:35:57,125
Was there anyone
waiting for the bus with you?

1225
01:35:57,251 --> 01:35:59,127
No.

1226
01:35:59,253 --> 01:36:01,129
I was alone.

1227
01:36:01,255 --> 01:36:04,215
My sister Jenny was sick
and she stayed home that day.

1228
01:36:06,594 --> 01:36:09,095
Was there anything unusual
about the drive

1229
01:36:09,221 --> 01:36:12,223
or ?me Driscoll,
or the bus that particular morning?

1230
01:36:14,518 --> 01:36:15,810
Like... what?

1231
01:36:17,396 --> 01:36:19,272
I mean, I don't...
I don't remember a lot.

1232
01:36:19,398 --> 01:36:21,483
I object to that form of question.

1233
01:36:22,818 --> 01:36:24,194
Note that, please.

1234
01:36:27,406 --> 01:36:30,492
- Was the bus on time?
- Yes.

1235
01:36:31,827 --> 01:36:33,828
And where did you sit
that particular morning?

1236
01:36:34,830 --> 01:36:36,414
My usual place.

1237
01:36:37,833 --> 01:36:39,918
The first seat on the right side.

1238
01:36:40,044 --> 01:36:42,295
And according to your recollection,

1239
01:36:42,421 --> 01:36:45,548
there was nothing unusual
in the drive that morning.

1240
01:36:48,427 --> 01:36:50,553
Until the accident? No.

1241
01:36:53,641 --> 01:36:54,849
Yes.

1242
01:36:56,685 --> 01:37:00,438
There was a... a brown dog
that ran across the road up there.

1243
01:37:03,692 --> 01:37:05,527
Dolores slowed down
so that she wouldn't hit it

1244
01:37:05,653 --> 01:37:08,279
and... he ran into the woods.

1245
01:37:09,615 --> 01:37:15,119
And then Dolores... drove on
and turned on to the Marlow Road as usual.

1246
01:37:17,122 --> 01:37:19,123
I remember that.

1247
01:37:22,461 --> 01:37:24,087
I'm remembering pretty clearly.

1248
01:37:24,630 --> 01:37:26,548
- You are?
- Yes.

1249
01:37:30,094 --> 01:37:31,469
Note that she said "pretty clearly",

1250
01:37:31,595 --> 01:37:34,347
not "clearly".
- What was the weather like at this time?

1251
01:37:34,473 --> 01:37:35,640
It was snowing.

1252
01:37:37,643 --> 01:37:40,186
Unless the report
from the National Weather Bureau

1253
01:37:40,312 --> 01:37:43,189
for the district,
on December the 6th,

1254
01:37:43,315 --> 01:37:44,524
goes into the record,

1255
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:46,359
I will object to that question.

1256
01:37:46,485 --> 01:37:48,111
Oh, I will offer that report.

1257
01:37:50,906 --> 01:37:52,782
Well, then.

1258
01:37:52,908 --> 01:37:54,492
Now that your memory
seems to be clearing,

1259
01:37:55,786 --> 01:37:57,912
can you tell us what else you observed
at that time?

1260
01:37:59,331 --> 01:38:02,125
"It's dull in our town
since my playmates left.

1261
01:38:02,918 --> 01:38:04,919
"I can't forget that I'm bereft

1262
01:38:06,130 --> 01:38:08,464
"of all the pleasant sights they see,

1263
01:38:09,675 --> 01:38:11,759
"which the piper also promised me."

1264
01:38:14,930 --> 01:38:16,306
Nicole?

1265
01:38:17,141 --> 01:38:18,308
I was scared.

1266
01:38:19,351 --> 01:38:20,643
Why were you scared?

1267
01:38:21,729 --> 01:38:23,646
This is before the accident, Nicole.

1268
01:38:24,732 --> 01:38:26,691
You understand what I'm asking?

1269
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,445
Yes, I understand.

1270
01:38:30,946 --> 01:38:32,363
Why were you scared?

1271
01:38:36,493 --> 01:38:39,162
Dolores was driving too fast.

1272
01:38:40,956 --> 01:38:42,832
Mrs. Driscoll
was driving too fast?

1273
01:38:42,958 --> 01:38:44,375
What made you think that, Nicole?

1274
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:46,461
The speedometer.

1275
01:38:47,546 --> 01:38:50,465
It... it was downhill there.
- You could see

1276
01:38:50,591 --> 01:38:52,175
the speedometer?

1277
01:38:52,676 --> 01:38:54,093
Yes.

1278
01:38:55,638 --> 01:38:59,015
I looked.
I... I remember clearly now.

1279
01:38:59,767 --> 01:39:03,394
Seemed we were going too fast
down the hill and I was scared.

1280
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,396
How fast would you say
Mrs. Driscoll was going?

1281
01:39:05,522 --> 01:39:07,440
To the best of your recollection.

1282
01:39:07,566 --> 01:39:09,484
72 miles an hour.

1283
01:39:14,406 --> 01:39:15,990
72 miles an hour?

1284
01:39:16,784 --> 01:39:17,909
You're sure of this?

1285
01:39:18,577 --> 01:39:20,036
Positive.

1286
01:39:21,956 --> 01:39:24,290
So you believe the bus
driven by Mrs. Driscoll

1287
01:39:24,416 --> 01:39:27,001
was traveling at 72 miles an hour
at this time?

1288
01:39:30,005 --> 01:39:31,589
I told you I was positive.

1289
01:39:33,008 --> 01:39:35,885
The speedometer was large
and easy to read from where I was.

1290
01:39:36,011 --> 01:39:37,261
You saw the speedometer?

1291
01:39:37,388 --> 01:39:39,013
Yes.

1292
01:39:40,224 --> 01:39:42,308
Did you say anything
to Mrs. Driscoll?

1293
01:39:43,852 --> 01:39:45,103
No.

1294
01:39:45,229 --> 01:39:48,022
- Why not?
- Because I was scared.

1295
01:39:49,066 --> 01:39:50,775
And there wasn't time.

1296
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:54,821
There wasn't time?

1297
01:39:56,031 --> 01:39:57,448
No.

1298
01:39:58,826 --> 01:40:01,536
Because the bus went off the road
and crashed.

1299
01:40:02,454 --> 01:40:03,621
You remember this?

1300
01:40:08,043 --> 01:40:09,544
Yes.

1301
01:40:11,547 --> 01:40:13,339
I do now.

1302
01:40:16,051 --> 01:40:17,635
Now that I'm telling it.

1303
01:40:33,068 --> 01:40:35,486
Do you have any questions,
Mr. Stevens?

1304
01:40:42,494 --> 01:40:44,120
"And why I lied,

1305
01:40:44,246 --> 01:40:45,663
"he only knew.

1306
01:40:46,665 --> 01:40:48,541
"But from my lie

1307
01:40:48,667 --> 01:40:50,501
"this did come true.

1308
01:40:53,297 --> 01:40:56,090
"Those lips from which
he drew his tune

1309
01:40:57,509 --> 01:41:00,386
"were frozen as a winter moon."

1310
01:41:03,515 --> 01:41:05,016
Mr. Stevens?

1311
01:41:09,104 --> 01:41:10,563
I have no questions.

1312
01:41:15,444 --> 01:41:19,030
I have... no questions.

1313
01:41:24,286 --> 01:41:25,578
Thank you, Nicole.

1314
01:41:31,126 --> 01:41:33,586
You'd make a great poker player, kid.

1315
01:41:36,548 --> 01:41:37,715
Thanks.

1316
01:41:49,561 --> 01:41:51,646
Let's go now, Dad.

1317
01:41:56,151 --> 01:41:57,527
Yeah...

1318
01:42:01,615 --> 01:42:04,117
I-- I... I don't know
what she was doing in there. She's, uh...

1319
01:42:04,243 --> 01:42:06,327
She was... she was lying.

1320
01:42:06,453 --> 01:42:08,746
But it doesn't matter
whether she was lying or not.

1321
01:42:08,872 --> 01:42:10,957
The lawsuit is dead!

1322
01:42:11,083 --> 01:42:14,418
Everyone's lawsuit is dead!
Forget it!

1323
01:42:14,545 --> 01:42:15,753
Tell the others to forget it.

1324
01:42:15,879 --> 01:42:17,505
It is over.

1325
01:42:18,173 --> 01:42:20,258
Right now, Sam,
the thing you've got to worry about

1326
01:42:20,384 --> 01:42:21,759
is why she lied.

1327
01:42:22,594 --> 01:42:26,806
Now, any kid who would do that to a father
is not normal, Sam.

1328
01:43:02,217 --> 01:43:04,552
Do you think
he'll let us keep the computer?

1329
01:43:22,362 --> 01:43:26,532
Well... it was nice meeting you again,
Mr. Stevens.

1330
01:43:26,658 --> 01:43:28,910
Yeah, it was nice meeting you again, Ally.

1331
01:43:29,036 --> 01:43:31,454
- Allison.
- Allison.

1332
01:43:34,833 --> 01:43:36,584
Tell Zoe I say hi.

1333
01:43:39,254 --> 01:43:40,671
I will.

1334
01:43:42,257 --> 01:43:44,425
I hope she gets better.

1335
01:43:45,844 --> 01:43:47,845
Mmm... Mmm-hmm.

1336
01:44:08,951 --> 01:44:10,952
Taxi over here, please!

1337
01:44:11,078 --> 01:44:13,162
Now you watch your step, now.
Thank you very much.

1338
01:44:13,288 --> 01:44:14,956
Yeah, okay.

1339
01:44:15,123 --> 01:44:16,290
What's that?

1340
01:44:16,875 --> 01:44:19,418
Yeah...

1341
01:44:22,881 --> 01:44:24,257
Hey, good morning.
- Good morning.

1342
01:44:24,383 --> 01:44:26,509
How you doing?
Watch your step now.

1343
01:44:26,635 --> 01:44:29,553
Good morning.
Need any help with that case? Okay.

1344
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:31,847
Good morning. Watch your step.
That's it.

1345
01:44:31,974 --> 01:44:34,475
Thank you very much.
Mind your step as you go up there now.

1346
01:44:35,018 --> 01:44:37,520
Thank you very much.
Can I help you with your case, ma'am? No?

1347
01:44:37,646 --> 01:44:38,896
Okay, thank you very much.

1348
01:44:47,739 --> 01:44:49,323
As you see her,

1349
01:44:50,325 --> 01:44:51,742
two years later,

1350
01:44:53,412 --> 01:44:55,246
I wonder if you realize something...

1351
01:45:00,335 --> 01:45:01,919
I wonder if you understand...

1352
01:45:03,588 --> 01:45:04,922
that all of us...

1353
01:45:06,550 --> 01:45:09,468
Dolores, me...

1354
01:45:11,054 --> 01:45:12,680
the children who survived,

1355
01:45:13,932 --> 01:45:15,349
the children who didn't...

1356
01:45:16,935 --> 01:45:20,187
that we're all citizens
of a different town now...

1357
01:45:27,195 --> 01:45:29,572
A place with its own special rules

1358
01:45:31,366 --> 01:45:33,159
and its own special laws...

1359
01:45:35,537 --> 01:45:39,540
A town of people
living in the sweet hereafter...

1360
01:45:54,473 --> 01:45:56,182
Where waters gushed...

1361
01:45:57,225 --> 01:45:58,976
and fruit trees grew...

1362
01:46:00,395 --> 01:46:02,980
and flowers put forth a fairer hue...

1363
01:46:04,816 --> 01:46:09,987
and everything...
was strange... and new.

1364
01:46:15,410 --> 01:46:18,996
Everything was strange... and new.

1365
01:47:50,046 --> 01:47:53,132
Watch the band

1366
01:47:54,342 --> 01:47:59,096
Through a bunch of dancers

1367
01:48:00,223 --> 01:48:02,808
Quickly

1368
01:48:04,519 --> 01:48:08,731
Follow the unknown

1369
01:48:10,484 --> 01:48:13,944
With something

1370
01:48:15,489 --> 01:48:18,782
More familiar

1371
01:48:21,620 --> 01:48:24,371
Quickly

1372
01:48:25,499 --> 01:48:29,376
Somethin' familiar

1373
01:48:32,839 --> 01:48:34,965
Courage

1374
01:48:35,425 --> 01:48:37,009
My word

1375
01:48:37,928 --> 01:48:41,680
It didn't come it doesn't matter

1376
01:48:47,854 --> 01:48:50,731
Sleepwalk

1377
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,778
So fast asleep

1378
01:48:57,572 --> 01:49:00,991
In a motel

1379
01:49:02,744 --> 01:49:06,497
That has a lay of home

1380
01:49:09,125 --> 01:49:12,086
Piss on

1381
01:49:13,380 --> 01:49:17,091
All of your background

1382
01:49:19,302 --> 01:49:22,638
And piss on

1383
01:49:23,932 --> 01:49:28,018
All your surroundings

1384
01:49:31,314 --> 01:49:32,898
Courage

1385
01:49:33,900 --> 01:49:35,818
My word

1386
01:49:36,611 --> 01:49:40,781
It didn't come it doesn't matter

1387
01:49:41,908 --> 01:49:43,659
Courage

1388
01:49:44,619 --> 01:49:46,328
My word

1389
01:49:47,289 --> 01:49:51,500
It didn't come it doesn't matter

1390
01:49:52,752 --> 01:49:54,503
Courage

1391
01:49:55,422 --> 01:49:57,256
My word

1392
01:49:57,882 --> 01:50:02,845
It didn't come it doesn't matter

1393
01:50:03,263 --> 01:50:05,264
Courage

1394
01:50:05,932 --> 01:50:11,186
It couldn't come at a worst time

1395
01:50:13,607 --> 01:50:16,233
There's no

1396
01:50:17,277 --> 01:50:21,113
Simple explanation

1397
01:50:22,741 --> 01:50:26,160
