[birds chirping]

[applause]

Man, they really put talent
in talent show.

Let's give it up for
"Dogs are Brown."

[applause]

So, it's been a while
since our last act

has graced this stage.

However,
he is now having...

[Boy]
Hey, Tim.

Tim.

[woman's voice]
Tim.

Tim, did you hear
what I said?

[projector clicks]

[no audio]

[indistinct noise]

[Woman]
Sweetie, did you hear
what I said?

Tim, we're here. [boy] Come on, Buddy.

Break a leg.
You're gonna be great.

[woman]
Are you okay, Sweetie?

Tim, you're not
feeling good?

[Tim] I just can't do it. Tim, you okay?

I think you just have
a little stage fright.

That's all.It's not that.

Hey, it happens
sometimes.

Just picture
everyone in the audience

in their underwear.Yeah.

Please don't make me do it.Come on, buddy.

Got a lot of people
counting on you.

You don't want
to be a quitter.

Just can't do it.
Take me home.

Oh, honey.I want to go home.

This is ridiculous.
Come on.

Honey, listen, we just
need to get him inside, okay?

He's already late.

Hey, I've got a great idea.

How about we all go out
for ice-cream after the show?

[gasps]
You like that?

You know what?

I don't remember
your favorite flavor.

What is it?Oreo Cookie's my favorite.

Well, then, Oreo Cookie
ice-cream it is then.

But listen,
all you have to do, honey,

is get out of the car, okay?

Here we go.
Come on.

Come on, buddy.
Let's go.

[audience laughs]

[boy actor]
Wendy, your mother was telling

such a lovely story.

[Wendy]
Oh, which one was it?

It was about the prince,

and he couldn't find the lady
who wore the glass slipper.

Oh, that's Cinderella, silly.

[laughing]

He found it and they lived
happily ever after.

Are you ready?

[man]
Tim, be ready for your cue.

[girl actor]
Where are you going?

[boy actor]
To tell you the other boys.

[children cheer]

Greeting, boys.
I have a surprise for you.

Tim, go.
That's your cue.

They need you.
Come on.

Tim, you need to be
on the stage right now.

Tim.Go on, Tim.

He missed his cue.

Where is he? Tim.

[panting]

Where is he going?
Honey, come on.

I don't know.
Let's go find out.

What's going on?Just a minute.

Where you guys going?

Watch out
for your little brother.

We'll be right back.

[all]
Yay!

Tim, come back!

Where are you going?

Tim!

Tim.

[crying]

[jiggles doorknob]

Come on, Tim.
What's wrong?

Go away.

Please talk to me.

Go away. Come on.

[crying]

I've never seen you
like this before.

Tim.

[mother]
Charlie, I'll go in.

Oh, sweetheart,
what happened?

Are you okay?

Honey.
Shh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

[woman]
I understand what you guys
have been going through.

So, Tim,

you're ten years-old,
right?

Ten and three-quarters.

Oh, ho-ho, wow.

Well, you are not
a kid anymore.

I'm gonna have to talk
to you like a grown-up.

What'd you say?Sure.

Do you have any idea
why Mommy brought you here

to talk to me today?

I...

I guess it's because

sometimes I don't
act great.

I just can't help it.

What do you mean?Well,

sometimes I get
kind of worried.

Okay.

Well, I'm a doctor,

and it's my job
to help you

understand those
worried feelings

a little bit better.

So you're like
a feelings doctor?

Sort of.

Kind of like
a feelings doctor.

Tim, do you know what
the word "anxiety" means?

Do you have any idea
what it means?

Not really.

Well,
people feel anxiety

when they have lots
of worry in their brains

and it makes them
feel bad inside.

You know what I call
those kind of bad thoughts?

Junk thoughts.

Like junk food?Mm-hmm.

Kind of like junk food.

Kind of like when you
feel really bad inside

like after you have eaten
too much junk food.

And it's my job
to help you understand

and get rid of those
junk thoughts.

Okay?

Think of your junk thoughts

like books.

If you give into a bully,
what usually happens?

[Tim]
They just keep
bullying you.

[doctor]
Exactly.

Junk thoughts
are the same way.

You have to stand up
to them and tell them

you're not afraid.

[women laughing]

[woman]
But I heard Miss Garret's
not so nice with boys.

Brad hates her.Really?

I didn't know Brad
had a hard time with her.

Oh, she just has
a hard time with boys
with a little spunk.

That's all.Well, Tim's afraid of her.

I don't know.

She makes him
really anxious.

Your kids
feel that way?

I have to ask Charlie.
I don't know.

It goes right over
Brad's head.

Really?
Yeah.

Well, I don't know,

sometimes getting Tim
to school seems--

Aaron is such a space.

It takes him forever
to get dressed.

It drives me crazy.

Charlie is ready
before I am.

He, like,
rushes me out the door.

Well, Jenny must change
her clothes ten times

before walking
out the door.

Okay, girl versus boy.I can see that.

Well, Tim hates
school now.

It's just--
he is so adamant
not to go.

Oh, all kids hate
school sometimes.

Emma loves it.Of course she does.

But maybe you should put him
back in the performing arts.

You know, he was doing
that for a while.

Yeah.He really liked that.

He should go back
to dance class.

He's so talented.You know, we've tried.

He just refuses to go.
I think it's a phase, maybe.

Really, Catherine,
I mean,

I know he was embarrassed
about what happened at the play,

but the kids
have forgotten all about it.

Yeah, you need
to just teach him to get
right back on that horse.

The show must go on.Yeah.

Well, um, what about
that youth theatre in town,

The Irvington Players?Oh, yeah.

You know,
I've tried that,
actually.

I can't even get him
in the car to get there.

I don't know.

You should
just drag his butt
in the car.

Just tell him you're going,
put him in the car.

He's too young
to know what he wants.

Bribe him
with ice-cream.

Yeah, bribe him
with ice-cream.

With ice-cream--
don't tell him where
you're going.

How about I bribe me
with ice-cream? Right?

You know what,
though, ladies,

I have to tell you,
nothing works.

I've tried.

It's just,
it's been tough.

Well, I think
he's just being

manipulative
and stubborn.

[laughs]

Um,

Timmy doesn't have
a manipulative bone

in his body.

He is one
of the sweetest boys
I've ever met

in my entire life.Thanks, Lisa.

Listen, does anyone
want some coffee?

I do.Let me help you.

That was rude.

Typical Suzanne.

You know
I'm always here, right?

I do.
Thank you.

Do you have to go
back in there?

Unfortunately.

Do you have whisky?

Absolutely.

[Tim]
Everybody at school hates me.

[doctor]
Why do you think that, Tim?

[Tim]
I can tell by how
they look at me.

Well, people look
at other people

for no reason sometimes.

You're looking at me, right now.
Does that mean you hate me?

No, you're okay.

So learning
to take deep breaths...

will teach your body
to relax.

And when
your body
is relaxed,

it's hard
to feel anxious.

[school bell rings]

[male teacher]
All right.

Everybody ready
for their quiz?

Your number two pencils?

[doctor]
Take a deep breath in
through your nose,

and feel the air.

Now very slowly
let the air out

through your mouth.

Okay, let's do it again.

Take a deep breath in.

Hi. How'd you do
on the quiz?

Not good.
I couldn't concentrate.

I didn't get it either.

Hey, wanna have
a sleepover tomorrow

after the soccer game?

Sure.

I'll see ya then.See ya.

I have some news for you.

What, baby?

You can fight me.[chuckles]

But just don't scream.

No, God.

There'll be
no more reading.

No-- what...
[laughs]

Oh. Mm.

Want some sugar?

I "vant" to suck
your blood.

[phone rings]

Oh, I'd better
answer the phone, baby.

Oh, God. No.
I've got-- honey,

I gotta get the phone.No, no, you don't.

Yes, I--
you just stop it.

Stop it. Okay,
give me the phone.

Wait, where is it?
Okay.

Hello. Oh, hey.

Henry.
Hi, Lisa, hey.

What's wrong, hon?Go away, Lisa.

Why, is he sick?

Really?
That is so strange.

Okay, will you
put him on the phone?

I'll try
to talk to him.

Henry, stop it.

Hey, Tim. Baby,
what's the matter?

Why do you want
to come home?

Well, you love sleeping
at Charlie's.

Stop it.

Are you sure?

Well, uh, remember?

Lisa was gonna make waffles
in the morning.

Your favorite.

No, no, no, don't cry.
Stop it.

Yeah, remember your breathing
exercises, baby?

That's right.
Like Dr. Slater taught you.

Okay, honey.
Shh, shh, shh, no, no, no.

Okay,
Daddy's gonna come get you.

Okay.

I love you, honey.

Honey,
what was all that about,

"Daddy's gonna
come get you"?

He wants to come home.From Charlie's?

I know.
It's so strange.

Come on.
He can wait.

[sighs]

Oh, Henry,
please be serious, okay?

Look over there.No, he's really upset.

Okay, he's really upset.
Please go get him, okay?

Okay, fine.

You know,
Tim doesn't seem to be

doing any better
even with all this therapy.

I have a feeling
something else is going on.

Really?

One anxiety disorder
isn't enough for you?

What did you say?

You know, he needs
to stick things out sometimes.

I don't feel like
picking him up.

You know what,
that's not fair to Lisa.

And besides,
I don't think that being
tougher is the answer.

Obviously.What?

All I'm saying
is that I agree with you.

I don't think
all this expensive therapy

is paying off,

because I think he thinks
he can get away with it.

And he knows it.

You know what?
I've grounded him, Henry.

I've taken away
his favorite things
and I've bribed him,

and I've used
the stupid sticker charts!

You're never home, Henry.
You don't see how hard I try.

And I'm exhausted.

And you know what,

if I'm such a terrible mother,
then how come Kyle and Jessie

don't act this way,
too, huh?

Jeez.

I've got a great idea.

Why don't you stay home?

See if you can do
any better.

Fine.
I don't mind
doing that.

You ready to go back to work?

Pay all the bills?

And the lifestyle
around here?

You wanna play that card?

[school bell rings]

You're gonna have
a good day, honey.

You can play
with your friends.

Charlie will be there.

Right?

You wanna see Charlie?

Good morning, Timothy.

Thank you so much
for meeting us here.

Rough morning
again today, Tim?

It took me an hour
just to get him in the car.

Tim, why don't you
head to my office

and we can chat a bit
before you go to class. Okay?

I don't feel good.
My head hurts.

Oh, I'm sorry
to hear that.

Well, if you don't
start feeling better,

we can go to
the nurse's office,

but I think
once you get to class,
you'll be fine.

Yeah.

It's pizza day.
You don't want to miss that.

Oh, pizza day.

No, yeah?
That sounds like fun.

Come on, buddy.Come on, honey.

Have a good day,
sweetie.

Okay.Okay?

I love you.

That's a good man.That's my good boy.

You know, Catherine,
he's fine once he's here.

Sometimes kids pick up
on their parents anxiety.

Maybe you should consider
talking to someone.

Come on, buddy.

Hi, Catherine.Hey, Suzanne.

How are you?Oh, my God.

Michael's just so busy
these days

with all his
extracurricular
activities.

It's just so stressful.

This morning
he completely
forgot his lunch,

poor thing,

and he hates
the school food.

So I just made him some
homemade chicken noodle soup.

Catherine, call me.

We really need
to get together.

Bye.

I'm fine.
Thanks for asking.

Let's play another game,
shall we?

Okay.

We'll call this one
the distraction game.

It's gonna help you
get rid of all those
junk thoughts.

You ready to play?Sure. I love games.

Okay.

So you have to pick
a category.

It can be boys names,

capital cities...

whatever you like.

How about food?

Okay.
Food works.

That's good.

As long as
it's alphabetical.

Like apples,

bananas, cherries,
and so on.

You get it?

Yes, but I hate fruit.

Can't we do
candy instead?

Yeah, honey,
you can do anything you like,

as long as
you make it alphabetical.

Okay?
All right.

Shall we try it?Sure.

Okay.
You start.

David.

Eddie.

Frank.

George.

Henry.

Igloo.Igloo?

What kind
of place name is that?

A very cold one.

[shivering]

You're such a doofus.[giggling]

All right, Kyle,
come on, buddy.

Crossing pass.
You gonna hit it in?

You ready?Here we go.

[Kyle]
There you go. Uh!

Oh, dude,
ten in a row!

Wow! When you put
your mind to something,
you are awesome!

Good job!Guys, dinner's almost ready.

Come on in and wash up.

Let's go. Let's go.

No! I need to keep
practicing.

I don't wanna go.Oh, no.

I am worn out
and I'm hungry now.

Let's go.
No, please
stay out with me.

I need more practice. Look, buddy.

You are an amazing goalie,
all right, but I'm starving.

Come on, let's go.You're such a jerk!

Whoa!You never do anything I want!

Why won't you
stay out with me?

Dad, make Kyle help me.

Tim, your brother's been
playing with you all day.

Now, come on,
it's getting dark,

and Mom made
a great dinner.

I'm not going in!
I don't care what you say!

It's not fair!
I hate you all!

I hate you.Hey, Tim!

That's enough!

I'll play with you,
Timmy.

You don't even know
how to play soccer!

Get away from me,

you little brat.[Dad] Tim! Hey!

Whoa! Come on,
let's go, buddy.

Inside now!

Why are all you guys
leaving me?

I'm running away.

I hate you!

Hey! Tim!

Get back here right now
and apologize to your brother!

[crying]Shh, shh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I didn't mean it.

It's gonna be okay.

Tim, honey, come on.

Tim.

Timothy!

Go away.

Okay.
You know what?

You're almost 11 now.

You're too old for this!

How much longer
are we gonna do this, huh?

You already missed
36 days of school!

Listen, I need
to get you dressed, okay?

[sighs]

Where's Tim?

He won't get out of bed.

Kyle, honey,
you're gonna miss the bus.

Kyle, you're gonna
miss the bus!

All right. Okay.

Have a good day.

Listen, I have to get
Jessie to school.

Okay, can you please
give it a try?

I don't know, Henry,
maybe he'll listen to you.

Let's go, Jessie.

Okay.

I give up.

That kid is impossible.

I told him that if he--
if he wasn't going to school,

no video, no TV.

There's no computer all week.

And I need you to be
on the same page as me,

because I don't want
to give him mixed signals.

Don't you think
I've tried that already?

Absolutely nothing works
when he gets like this.

But he has to go to school.

He hasto go to school.

He just can't quit,
all right?

He has to understand
that sometimes in life

there are things
that he has to do

that he doesn't like.

I know!
And I agree.

But, maybe this isn't
the right school for Tim.

I mean, his teacher's
don't understand him.

And other than Charlie,

he doesn't really have
any friends.

You know Bob's son.

He goes to a private school.

Seems to be doing
quite well there.

Okay, well,
there you go.

Okay, well,

that means
that you're gonna have
to find the school,

which might be
a blessing in disguise.

Maybe less expensive
than all this therapy, okay?

[scoffs]I gotta get to work.

I love you.

Mrs. Spencer, we aren't seeing
that kind of behavior here.

I've observed him in class,
and he's quiet,

but perfectly fine.

Well, I guess he saves
it up for me then.

Well, sometimes kids act out
to get their parents attention.

Is everything okay at home?

Everything is fine.

Mr. Collins,
I really appreciate

everything that you
and Dr. Maynard have done,

but Henry and I've decided
to send Tim to a private school.

Really? Where?

The Campbell Academy.

I'm sorry to hear that,
but Campbell does have

a fantastic reputation.

I'm...

We certainly will miss him.

Well, if there's anything
I can do to help

with the transition
to the new school,

please let me know.

Well, thank you, both.
I really appreciate it.

Good luck.

Take care.

Kyle, honey,
hurry up.

You're going
to miss the bus.

Yeah, okay.

Seriously, Kyle,
if I have to drive you,

then Tim's going to be late,
all right? Please hurry.

All right, well, I'm sorry
that Tim's the one

who gets to go to a fancy
private school without bus.

Okay, are we going
to do that again?

Hmm?
Honey.

Whatever.[sighs]

[Kyle]
Good bye.

Can you take Jessie
on your way to work?

Sure can.Thank you.

You ready to go, pal?Uh-huh.

How's school going,
by the way?

Good.

The kids are very cool
and the teachers are nice,

but the homework
is really hard.

Well, don't worry
about that.

We're gonna get
through it together.

Okay.Jessie knows all
the necessaries.

Huh?
Okay.

Guys, you gotta hurry.
All right?

We're all gonna be late,
if we don't get out of here.

[school bell rings]

[chuckles]
Good morning.

Light can pass through
some types of matter.

Matter that allows light
to pass through it,

so a clear image
can be seen, is called?

Christopher.

Transparent.

Yes. Can you give me
an example?

Windows.

Right. What about matter
that allows some,

but not all light
to pass through it?

What is that called?

David.

Translucent.
Like wax paper.

Yes. What about matter
that allows no light

to pass through it.
What is that called?

Tim?

Uh...

Tim?

Were you paying
attention?

Yes, sir.

So what word do
we use for matter

that does not allow any light
to pass through it?

Uh... solid?

Yes, Christopher.

It's called opaque.

Exactly. And what happens
when you shine a light

on an object
that's opaque?

David.

You create a shadow.

Yes, that's right.

Okay? Everybody get out
a pencil and paper.

We're going to do
an experiment.

This cake is so good.

And so cute.

I'm so glad you
could make it.

Charlie really misses
Tim at school.

Oh, I know.
I'm sorry, Lisa.

Oh, my God,
don't be silly.

I didn't mean
that at all.

Hey, if I could get Darren
to transfer Charlie to Campbell

I would in a heartbeat.

You know, he was just
so miserable, I mean,

we didn't know
what else to do.

So why did you
pull Tim out?

Do you really think
the academics at Campbell

are so much better?

You know it's not
about the academics.

Tim just needed
a different environment.

But all of his friends
are here.

And he gets to see them
every week at soccer.

Besides, there's lots of ways
to keep in touch with friends.

You know, it's not
like we moved.

Tim, honey,
are you okay?

I want to go home.
I don't feel well.

We can't go home, honey.

It's Charlie's
birthday party.

I don't care.

Honey, listen, Charlie
is your friend,

and it wouldn't
be right to leave

his birthday party, okay?

What's going on
with you, baby?

Listen, maybe we need
to give Dr. Slater

a call later, okay?

No, it's not that.

Well, Tim, we're not
going home, okay?

We're staying.

You okay?

I'm okay.
He has a headache.

He'll be fine.

I don't know.

Parties are stressful
for kids.

I mean, parties
are stressful for me,

especially with
this crowd.

Right? Oh, my Gosh.

That's why you're
my best friend.

I love you.
I'm here, you know.

I love you more.

And I have cake.

Okay. You ready to go?
One more soccer ball.

And I think we're good.
Don't forget the star.

Okay, now I'm good.
There we go.

You ready everybody?
Who wants cake?

Whoo-hoo!

Are you ready,
sweetheart?

Okay, Charlie.

Can we give a big,
big, big happy birthday--

Timmy will you lead
the happy birthday, please?

Come on, Tim.It's okay, honey.

It's okay. He's just
not feeling well.

Let's save him a piece,
okay?

Okay.I love you.

And we're so proud of you.

Everybody ready?
One, two, three.

[All]
Happy birthday!

Whoo-hoo!

[Kyle]
All right, I'm done.

Look, Mommy,
I'm done, too.

Good job, sweetie.

That's not fair!
I can't do this!

This homework is stupid!

Let's go watch some TV.

Come here, let me see.

Okay, is this
your homework?

Uh-huh.Okay.

It looks like you have
to read this chapter

and then answer the questions.

So how much of it
have you read?

I don't know.

Well, do you remember
reading it?

[silent]

Why don't I read it
to you and we can work

on it together, okay?

But I hate school.

Oh, Tim.

And all the other kids
are so smart.

Honey, look,
we can handle this, okay?

I can talk to your teachers
about the work...

I'm gonna fail.
I hate it.

Listen.
I hate it.

You just have to take
one day at a time.

But I'm gonna fail.
I can't do anything right.

Honey, you're not
gonna fail, okay?

No, honey,
you're not gonna fail, okay?

We won't let you.

Tim, we're going
to get through this.

No use. I'm stupid.
I hate this school!

I'm not doing homework.

Tim, you're just having
a bad day, all right?

I'm not having a bad day.

I'm not going to school anymore,
so there's no point.

Okay, we can't go
through this again.

All right, we can't keep
switching schools every time

it gets hard.

You don't get it.

I don't need to go
to school anymore.

Hey, don't be
ridiculous, Tim.

You're only 14. Of course
you need to go to school.

Why can't I be
home schooled?

Tim, we've been through
this a million times,

and we're not talking...It's inconvenient for you?

I need you to calm down.

You hate me.
That's why.

I hate you, so I'm not
goin' to school anymore.

Tim, calm...Mom, I'm hungry.

I hate you, too,
you little brat.

Tim, stop it.

I hate everything.
I wish I was dead.

What's going on?

Hey, let's just
order pizza, okay?

Mom.Again?

Kyle, Tim's just
having a bad day.

He's always having
a bad day.

You shouldn't let him get away
with acting like that.

Are you gonna ground him?

Let me worry
about, Tim, okay?

I am the mom.

Yeah, well, clearly that isn't
working out very well, is it?

Come here.

All right.
Let's go!

[cheering]

That's right.
Settle down.

Come on.

All right,
open it up!

[cheering]

Awesome!

I tell you, this team kicked
our butt the last couple weeks.

Maybe we'll do better now
that Tim is back, huh?

Where the hell
has he been?

Oh, he's just had some
stomach problems lately.

Oh. Well he looks
better now, thank God.

Yeah.

We haven't seen him
at practice much either.

Seriously, Catherine,
is he playing for another team?

Hardly. He just hasn't been
feeling great, that's all.

Yeah, I bet they
keep him really busy

at that private
school of his.

Yes, they do.

Come on, Tim.

[cheering]

How could you miss that?

Tim, it's okay, honey.

Tim!

Hey, what's goin' on
out there?

Where's he going?

[Catherine]
What the hell happened, Henry?

The kid gave him a hard time
for letting that goal go.

[Woman]
I'm not one to gossip,

but I heard he got kicked out
of both of those schools.

Yes, well, what happened was
he would walk out of the school

in the middle of the day, just
whenever he felt like it. Yeah.

You know, I'm telling ya,
there is something wrong

with that kid.

Who runs off the field
in the middle of the game.

They have no control over him.

I would never put up
with that kind of behavior.

The kids don't want to hang
around him anymore,

and that's okay by me
because I wouldn't let mine

go over there anyway.

All right, guys. Let's go.
Let's pick it up.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Oh, suck it.

I want a rematch, Charlie.

Too damn bad.

Hey, it's
your turn, man.

I'm good.
Billy can play my turn.

You sure? I mean, you want
to do something else?

We don't have
to play video games.

Nope.

Come on, we hardly
see you anymore.

We should do
something.

Board game,
play cards?

Something.

Oh, I have an idea.
Why don't we go outside

and kick the ball
around a bit?

We could still
use you on the team.

No. I'm done with soccer.

Why, man?

Just wasn't fun
anymore, you know?

No, I really
don't know.

I don't know what
the matter is, man.

Those kids were assholes.

You shouldn't have
let 'em get to ya.

They had nothin'
to do with it.

It's just boring,
that's all.

Soccer's not boring.

What the hell
do you know?

You know what I know?

You used to be fun
to hang out with.

Now you're just
an asshole.

So leave.

I didn't ask you guys
to come over.

Oh, I know.

God, what is
your problem?

Maybe you're my problem,
Charlie.

You're pathetic.

You know what,
your mom begged my mom

for us to come over.

And now you've
become a real dick.

Let's get out of here.
He's a freak.

Yeah.

Emotionally disturbed.

No, I'm not gonna
have my son labeled

for the rest of his life.

No, no, we can't afford any more
private schools, okay?

We lost a fortune
on the last one.

[sighs]
Aren't there any other options
besides special Ed?

Okay.

Okay. So what do
I have to do

to set up a meeting
and have him classified?

[alarm clock buzzes]

Tim, honey, you're late
for school again.

Honey, I know you're
havin' a bad morning,

but you know that
lying there doesn't help.

Honey, please, just try
moving your legs.

No.

Listen, remember
what the doctor said?

Sometimes you gotta get
the blood flowing in your body

to wake it up.

Tim, I know
it's hard, okay?

Sometimes I don't feel like
getting out of bed either.

Go away.

I'm not going
to school.

Honey, I know you
feel terrible, okay?

The only thing you have
to do right now

is get out of bed.

Just try moving.

[sighs] Well, there are
those beautiful eyes.

See?

When is the last time
you took a shower?

Okay, let's get you
in the shower.

Well, how about
a bubble bath?

Youused to love
taking bubble baths.

No, I'm not going
to school.

I don't think I said anything
about school now, did I?

[water running]

[knocks]

Tim, are you okay in there?

Tim?

If you don't answer me,
I'm coming in.

Tim, honey, you have
to turn the water off.

[phone rings]

Are you all right?

Okay, listen, I'm gonna be
downstairs if you need me.

I've got to grab this.

Honey!

How are you?
Let me get you a towel.

Here.

You have been
in there forever.

I bet you're
a complete prune by now.

[sighs]

You know what,
just look at your fingers,

right?

Look at that.

Why do you think
that happens, huh?

You know, I read somewhere
it's like a survival mechanism

from the stone age.

You know, our fingers wrinkled
up to give us a better grip.

Something like that.

I don't know,
I guess like treads,

on a tire?
Yeah.

I don't think they had tires
during the stone age, Mom.

No, I guess they didn't.
[sighs]

I can't even get him
out of the house anymore.

Well, I rarely
recommend medication,

but Tim is
severely depressed.

Therapy alone
just isn't enough.

I surely don't understand
why this is happening.

Look, anxiety and depression
are often co-occurring.

One can often
exasperate the other.

Sometimes medications can help.

I just hate to give
my kids even ibuprofen,

unless it's absolutely
necessary.

What would you prescribe?

Actually medications
have to be managed

through a psychiatrist.

Who were you
working with before?

We'll start him on

a very small dose
at first.

See how he does.

Increase it gradually.

I'll need to see him
every two weeks to monitor him.

Common side effects
can include drowsiness,

dizziness, insomnia,
nausea, weight gain,

weight loss, diarrhea,
constipation.

Morning, Kyle.

[Henry]
See you later, Kyle.

Okay, boys, we seem to
be running a bit late.

I'll be taking you
to school.

Let's get something to eat
on the way, shall we?

[phone rings]

[Answering Machine]
Hi, you've reached
the Spencer's.

Leave a message
and we'll call you back.

[beep]

Hi, Catherine.
It's Lisa.

We really missed you
at the meeting yesterday.

I know you're so busy,
but please don't leave me

on this committee
alone, please.

I cannot deal with
these women by myself.

I have not seen you in a while, and I'm worried about you.

Please, please just call me
back, okay? Please. Bye.

Hey, what are
you guys up to?

I'm writing a song, Mom.

It's incredible.
It just came to me like pow!

Do you wanna hear it?
Sure.

I'm not done yet, but do you
wanna read it anyway?

Mm-hmm.

Never mind, I-I-I want
to work on it some more.

I-I need to finish
the lyrics.

Okay.

I-I-I need to work
on the music.

You know what
might help?

A keyboard in my room.
That's what I need.

Is there any chance
we have a keyboard?

We used to
a long time ago, honey.

I don't think we
have one right now.

Oh, you know what
might work?

Garage band. Does our computer
have a garage band?

I think so.
I'm not quite sure, honey.

Great, so, can I
use the computer?

Tim, the computer's
for school work, remember?

Mom, this is more important
than school work.

This is my life
we're talking about.

Well, I think it sounds
like a good idea.

Great, so can I use
the computer?

Please?

[giggles]
Okay.

Just this once.

How long has Tim been sitting
in front of that computer?

May be time
to pull the plug.

I'm just happy
he's not depressed.

It's 11:00, sweetheart.

[sighs]

So how was your day?

My day was kind
of rotten.

I think I have
to fly to Dallas.

Wait, when?

Probably Wednesday.
I'll know in a little while.

If I lose this account,
I could lose my job.

I should only be gone
a couple of days.

I know, honey,
it's just--

[sighs]
I'm just exhausted.

You know, it's like a
rollercoaster with Tim

every day and he's afraid
to leave the house,

and I can't leave him,
it's just--

I thought things were getting
easier with the meds.

Yeah, but the side effects
are really scary.

Yeah, I know.
[sighs]

It's not supposed
to be this hard.

You know, teenagers
are a handful

in the best of circumstances.
Maybe it's just a phase.

Well, if that's the case,
it's the longest freakin'
phase ever.

You know what,
I think you could use

just a little time out
with your dream date.

Yeah, well,
where is he?

I can call him anytime.

Okay, good.

He's on speed dial.

Honey, I can't leave Tim,
you know that.

What would we do,
leave him with Kyle? No.

I'm not gonna
put him through that.

[phone rings]

Hi, Bob.

Yeah-- [ahem]--
oh, I know.

Yeah, I've had to deal
with him many times.

It's-- it's--
it's difficult.

All right.
I'll smooth it out
when I get there.

I'll call you
when I arrive.

All right, thanks.

Wow, it's unbelievable how much
this book describes Tim.

I really wish you would read
at least a few chapters.

It's helpful to learn
about this information.

I would love to, sweetheart,
I just am swamped with work.

If you could highlight
some of the important parts,

I'd really appreciate it.

Sure.

My stomach is growling.
Are there any leftovers?

No.
[sighs]

God, how did I not know
the kids could have anxiety

or depression
for no reason.

Well, they didn't have
that kind of stuff

when we were growing up.

Well, didn't you say that kid
who lived down the street

from you committed
suicide when he was 17?

Henry?

Did you hear
what I said?

I-I mean I-I heard...

You know what, you need to get
your head out of that phone.

[thumps]

I'm goin' to bed.
Good night.

So Dad, how was your trip?

Good, I hope.

We'll know
in a few weeks.

Jessie, would you please put
your napkin on your lap?

Tim, really, I think
it's time for a haircut.

No.

I get the whole rebel
without a cause,

but you're gonna have
to get your hair cut,

because you're starting
to look like your mother.

[chuckles]

All right, who's got
homework tonight?

[Kyle] I've got a test tomorrow,
but it's no big deal.

What subject?

Calculus. It's okay.
I'll ace it.

I hate math.Why?

It's easy.

It's useless.
I hate it.

Don't be an idiot.

[Tim]
You're an idiot.

Only Idiots like math.

What are you
looking at, Jessie?

This whole family sucks.

You're the one who sucks.
You'll never even graduate

from high school.

I don't care,
you such a jerk.

[Henry] Where are you going?
You have not been excused.

[Tim] You really think
I'm stupid. My life sucks.

[clatters]

Kyle, did you have
to say that?

So now it's my fault?

I didn't do anything.

[Tim yelling]
I hate living here.

Dad, are you gonna let Tim
get away with that?

[sighs]

I can't believe you guys.[clatters]

Kyle, please,
sit down.

Kyle.

Kyle.

[Tim yelling]
You all think I'm stupid

and I don't do
anything right!

Can I watch TV?

Yes.
No.

Yes. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

[Tim yelling]

Go ahead, sport.
Hey, yeah, thank you.

Clear your plate,
please.

He's been like this all week
while you've been gone.

He was fine when I left.

This is unacceptable.

I'm going upstairs
to talk to him.

I think you should wait
until he calms down.

I think he should
calm down right now.

Tim, open this door
right now!

[Tim]
No, throw me out.

[Henry]
Tim, your behavior's been
completely inappropriate!

Oh, baby.[Tim yelling]
Kyle is such an idiot!

Open this door now. Jessie,
it's gonna be okay.

[voices muffled]

[music playing in headset]

[no audio]

I can't take it anymore.

Okay, look!
He eventually he calms down.

If you just
leave him alone, Henry.

Just leave him alone.

This must be advice
coming from the therapist.

Just ignore it, right?

Look, she says there's no use
in trying to talk to him

when he's irrational
like this, okay?

It'll just escalate
the situation.

It'll just escalate, right.

Just if we ignore it.
Don't do anything.

[yells] There's gotta be
something we can do.

I'm going crazy here.

All right.
The psychiatrist did give me

another medication to use.

All right, when he gets
out of control like this.

Well, that's good news.

Yes.
Another medication.

Mm-hmm.Have you tried it yet?

No, I have not.

Well, it might be a
damn good time to try it.

Okay. I will, Henry.

♪

[Therapist]
I recommend that we take
him off the escitalopram

and put him
on a mood stabilizer.

[Catherine]
A mood stabilizer?

[Therapist]
Based on what
you're describing,

I would have to say that
your son has bipolar disorder.

Bipolar.

That sounds pretty extreme.

I mean,
isn't that a condition

that requires
heavy medication?

Doesn't that connote
serious highs and lows?

I mean,
Tim is never happy.

I know.

I never liked
that doctor, ever.

Well, what does
Slater say?

Well, she says
he's really complicated.

She's not sure about
bipolar though.

Well, maybe it's time
for another opinion.

It's funny you
should say that,

because I've been trying
to get an appointment

with another psychiatrist,
but it's three months.

Three months.
You've gotta be kidding me?

Yeah, apparently there's more
taxidermists in the country

then there are
child psychiatrists.

Well, cheery future
for our children.

Here take a look
at this.

[sighs]

She's highly recommended.

She's supposed to be
top in her field.

She's really
expensive though.

Well, we're gonna do
whatever we need to do.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks Tim,
for being so honest.

Anything else you want
to talk about?

No, I'm good.All right.

Do you mind
if I speak

to your parents alone
for just a moment?

Sure, whatever.

Okay, would you
ask them to come in?

I will see you
next week.

Thanks.You're welcome.

Hi.Hi.

So how did it go?

It went.
How are you?

Well, we just don't know
what to do anymore.

At this rate, he's going
to have a difficult time

finishing high school.

You know what,
there are worse things

than not going to school.

So can you describe
what it looks like

when Tim gets upset.

Okay, his eyes change.

Like he becomes
a different person.

He's irrational.

And he misinterprets
everything that we say.

Sometimes he can
get violent.

But he doesn't...

No, he's never
hurt anyone.

And I don't think
he would,

but he threatens to,

and he breaks
a lot of things.

It's hard. And how long
do these episodes last?

How often do they come
and when they do come...

It varies.

Yeah, it can happen
several times a day.

It can last for hours.

Just depends.

I think the hardest part for me
is when the rage is over.

And he says he feels
so terrible

and he talks
about dying.

It's scary.

He's not a bad kid.

He's the sweetest
kindest boy.

Well, he still is,
Catherine.

He's a great boy,

and, I mean he doesn't
wanna misbehave.

He's in pain.

I mean, I just noticed it
in my sessions with him,

his moods change rapidly.

He has a very
high anxiety level.

And he knows that
he can't predict it,

he can't control it.

So he doesn't want
to go anywhere.

He doesn't want
to leave the house.

I mean, that's
gotta be scary.

Especially for
a teenager.

I-I don't understand, doctor,

this poor child is taking
up to 30 pills a day,

and he seems to be getting
worse and worse.

Now, there's gotta be some
medication out there

that can fix all this.

You would think,
you would think that.

There is no magic pill.

And everyone reacts
differently

to every different
medication.

So you don't know.
Especially with children

and teenagers because they're
always growing and changing.

Well, I understand that, but
there's gotta be something more.

Timothy has an illness.

Do you really
understand that?

I think that
he would thrive

in a highly structured
environment.

What do you mean?

Well, I mean you've
said yourself,

the slightest change
in schedule,

or disappointment
can throw him off.

But I'm trying so hard
to do everything right.

You did that,
Catherine.

I give a structure.
I work really hard.

Catherine, it's humanly
impossible for you

to provide the
kind of structure

in your home
that he needs.

He needs a therapeutic
environment.

He needs to be surrounded
by professionals

who can help him
24 hours a day.

So what is it that you're
suggesting, doctor?

I know a wonderful residential
treatment center in Maine.

I know people
that have gone there.

They specialize
in fragile boys,

just like Tim.

Okay, excuse me.

I'm not sending my
son away, okay?

He's already in
a therapeutic day program

through the school district.

Isn't that enough?

Listen, I know it's upsetting
to hear about this,

but there is just no way
that you are capable

of providing the kind
of structure that he needs.

Okay, but we have
come to you for help

and now you're telling me
that your solution

is to send him away?

Catherine.That's not acceptable.

Catherine, it's just--

I can do better.
I'm his mother.

No one knows him
like I do

and I am the one
who's supposed

to help him, Henry.

And no one's
debating that.

I've been doing it
for years.

Let's just hear
the doctor.Okay, I'm sorry.

Just stay for
a second, please.

No, I'm not gonna
talk about it.

Just hear her out,
please.

Catherine, I can
explain to you

Can we, please?

It's a lot
to think about.

Yeah.

Let me ask you
something?

If this was your son,
what would you do?

It's hard, yeah,

but I think if Tim
were my son,

without a doubt

I would,

I'd put him into the
residential treatment center.

And how long
are we talking about?

And what are the costs?

Well, it's about a year
and it's expensive.

It's in the six figures.

It's not nothing.

Here we are, honey.

Wait here and I'll go
get Tim, okay?

Stay right here, baby.

That's really
excellent.

Hi, my name
is Catherine Spencer.

Nice to meet you.
Hold on just a minute.

Tim, your mom's
here for you.

So what do you think?

I think maybe it's
their time to play?

But I want to play.
It's not fair.

Hey Mom,
I don't belong here.

I want to go home.

Okay, baby, come on.

Let's go home.

Let's go.

It's okay.

Maybe Dr. Harris is right.

About what?

I don't know, Henry.

But I'm scared.

He's not getting better.

He struggles every day,
and this school is worse.

I'm trying to help him,

but I think
Dr. Harris is right.

He needs more help
than I can give him.

[Henry]
What are you saying,
Sweetheart?

If we do this, I know
it's gonna be expensive,

okay, but maybe we borrow
money from my parents

or-or-or
I'll get a job,

we could sell
the house.

We have to
do something.

We don't have
another choice.

How in the world
are we going to tell him?

I don't know.

You sure about this?

No.

What do you think?

Kyle, come here.
You didn't say good-bye.

I love you, honey.

Mom, I'll be gone
for the weekend.

It's a debate tournament,
not boot camp.

I know.
Listen, good luck.

You're gonna
be great.

All right.
Thanks, Mom.

Bye.
Bye-bye.

Hey, that looks fun.

God, you're so annoying.

Made me forget
what I was writing.

You ruined it.

Tim, why did
you do that?

It was horrible.
Jessie came over

and messed me up.

It's okay.
Just calm down.

There's no reason
to get upset.

I hate you.
You've ruined everything,

Tim, let's just--

I hate you.

You were right.
You were right.

Here.
Tim.

Jessie, he didn't
mean to distract you.

Why do you always
take his side?

You're such
a stupid bitch.

[objects breaking]

Okay, Jessie,
you need to go upstairs.

Okay, honey.

Okay, remember
what we talked about?

You go on upstairs.

Why are you guys always
talking about me?

Now listen, Jessie did
not mean to distract you.

and you know that.

How do you know that?

You were too busy
hugging Kyle.

Listen to me,
you need to calm down.

[yelling]
I hate you.
No. Tim!

Get off of me.
I will kill all of you.

Tim.
I will kill myself.

Oh, Tim.

Listen. Look at me.

I'll kill you.
No.

I'll kill you!

No, sweetheart.

I hate you!
Tim, listen.

I'll kill you.

[Tim yelling]
You're locked in, right?
You're locked in.

You're locked in.

Sweetie.
Something wrong?

Do you remember
when you said

that you
needed help, honey?

Okay, so you

No, mom. I'm doing
better now.

This is such

It's the best thing

Stop it.

What happened?

Did Tim do something?

Your father will

Mom, what happened?
What did he do?

He needs help.
He just needs help.

We didn't know
what to do.

Mom, where's Tim?

Where is he, Mom?

Baby, this will help.

What the hell
have you done

to my brother?

We had no choice.

Your brother needs help.

What he needs
are parents

who know how
to handle him.

Why didn't you
try harder?

[yelling]
Where is my brother?

He's in Maine.

He's in Maine.

He wasn't going
to school, okay?

That's because
youdidn't make him go.

Wanna come in?

Are you mad
at Mom and Dad?

[Jessie]
Is it contagious?

No.

It's not contagious, buddy.

No, Tim has a chemical

Bipolar disorder.

we're good.

Oh, don't worry.
Rocket is very friendly.

Dogs understand people
better than we do.

Sit down.

So Tim, tell me,
how'd you get here?

By force.

Is that so?

I'm being punished.

My parents hate me.

Really?

Why do you think that?

Why?

Don't youhave
all the answers?

[chuckles]

Wouldn't that be easy.

You sound angry.

I don't belong here.

Well...
[sighs]

since you are here,

let's see if we can
make the best of things, okay?

Whatever.

You know, being here
will help you,

if you let it.

There's nothing
wrong with me.

You're not here
because there's something

wrong with you,

because your parents
hate you.

Let me show you
around, okay?

We only have three rules,
and they're designed

to keep everyone safe.

You can't feel good
if you don't feel safe.

So the first rule is that
someone needs to know

where you are
at all times.

That means if you
need to go anywhere,
even to the bathroom,

you gotta ask an adult
for permission. Got it?

Seriously?

What is this, jail?

We can't keep you safe
if we don't know
where you are.

The second rule
is hands off.

[boys arguing]No touching other students.

No wrestling,
no poking, nothing...

guys, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

Who's hat is it?It's my hat.

It's his hat.
Why you have his hat?

I just, I can't--He's just jokin'.

He's just jokin'.
Let's go.

Toss it to me.
There he is.

Nice.

A lot of kids
misinterpret

joking around
as aggression.

So what's
the third rule?

Until you reach
the level of independence

you cannot go beyond
the property line

without an adult.

Where is everyone?

They're on their way back
from school.

Don't worry,
we don't let anybody

go to school for
the first couple of weeks.

You won't go till
you ask for it.

[chuckles]
Think that's
gonna happen.

Oh, it will.
Trust me,

after hanging out here
for a couple of weeks

with nothin' to do,

my bet is you'll
be beggin' to go.

You'll like it.
The classes are small.

Teachers are
pretty cool.

All your friends
will be there.

Friends. I don't
have any friends.

That'll change.

And this is
the common room.

Where you guys
will hang out,

play games,

write letters
to your family.

Write letters?

Can I just email?

We don't have
computers here.

Just a school
for school work.

And no cell phones.

What?

You have to
be kidding me.

Anyway, I don't
write letters.

It's like a text,
but without the phone.

You'll get
the hang of it.

Hey, Frank,
come on over here.

Yeah.

I want to introduce you
to someone.

Tim, this is Frank.

Frank's gonna
be your roommate.

Cool, hair, man.

What's ya hidin'
under there?

Nah, I'm sorry.
I'm just messin' with ya.

Here, come on.

So, how you doin'?

Uh, stupid question.
First day sucks.

No, actually,
the first week sucks.

Come to think
of it--

You love it here
and you know it.

Okay, love might be
a bit of a stretch.

But it's not so bad.
You'll get used to it.

Come on, let me
introduce you

to some of
the guys.

Dexter, right?

[door bell rings]

Oh-ho, hello, Lisa.Oh my God.

So good to see you.

It is so good to see
your friendly face.

Catherine, Catherine,
come downstairs.

Lisa's here.

It is so good to see you.
How long you staying?

As long as
she needs me.

You're a good woman.
She's lucky to have you.

How's she doin'?

It's been rough
on everybody.

It's gonna really cheer
her up to see you though.

She hasn't seen
anyone in weeks.

Catherine, sweetie,
come on down.

Lisa's here.

[Lisa]
Hello, stranger.

Chai latte?

I'm gonna check
my laundry.

Hi.

I love your mom.

[chuckles]
I know, right?

She is amazing.

I just don't know how
I'd cope without her.

So how you doin'?

I'm fine.

I'm okay.How's Tim?

He's good.

You know,
it's beautiful up there.

Cath, you don't have
to pretend with me.

I've never told anybody
this before,

Tim has bipolar
disorder.

We tried everything.

We did therapy, and doctors,
and meds, and um...

He just...

Lisa, I just
couldn't help him.

It takes so much courage
to do what you did.

You know that, right?

[sobbing]
I don't know.

When do you
get to see him?

Every three
or four weeks.

I miss him.

Yeah.

Cat, I really do...

My sister is bipolar.

She has been
most of her life.

What?

Oh, my God.

Lisa, I mean,
I didn't have any idea.

I never told anyone.

You know, I didn't
even know you had a sister.

[laughs]

How is that possible?

I'm just full
of surprises.

How did I not
even know that.

I'm so here,
you know that, right?

I know.Okay.

Now, are you ready
for the tough love?

What?
You look like shit.

[laughs]
I love you.

Oh, my God.
No offense.

Thanks for cheering me up.

But you gotta take
better care of yourself.

I know. I'm just tired.

Okay?I know. I know.

I'm really--You can't take care
of anyone,

unless you take care
of yourself first.

It's like rule number one
in parenting.

I know.

When was the last time
you had a check up?

I don't know.

Catherine.

Okay.

Okay, okay,
I promise.

Promise?
I promise, I promise.

Just start running again,
or come to yoga with me.

No, I'm not
doin' yoga.

Come on.
Me and yoga, right.

No, pass.

It'll help, okay.
I promise it'll help.

Okay.

And you know...

there are some great
support groups.

It might really help
to be with other parents

who are goin' through
the same thing.

You don't have
to do this alone.

I didn't know.
I just--

I didn't know
what to do.

[Tim]
Hate to admit it,

but this place
is actually kinda cool.

I know, right?

I've never
been camping before.

Seriously?

Yeah, my parents always
wanted me to go,

but, I don't know,
I just never really wanted to.

Never really wanted
to leave the house.

Well, that would make
camping difficult.

Yeah, out here in the woods,
it's kind of awesome.

This is where I decided
I really needed

to get my shit together.

What do you mean?

You seem so
together to me.

Oh, that's funny.

I was an even bigger mess
than you when I got here.

Yeah, right.

No, seriously.
I was hearing voices and shit.

Here, see this?

Yeah, I threw myself
into a glass door.

Kinda freaked
my parents out.

That's pretty intense.

Yeah,
but I'm workin' hard

and I'm on
the right meds now,

so...

I hate meds.
Side effects suck.

The headaches
are the worst.

How about nausea.

Dizziness.

Weight gain.

Weight loss.
Can't sleep.

Can't wake up.

Constipation.

Diarrhea.

That might
be the food here.

It's like, I just couldn't
turn it off, you know?

I'd stare
at the computer,

hoping for something
good to happen.

It was like gaming
was the only way

I could stay calm,
you know?

Maybe it felt safer
to be friends

with a computer screen?

Yeah, I guess.

A computer
can't laugh at you.

Or leave you,
you know?

Well, you've been here
for five months now

without a computer.

How do you feel?

Like I miss my
freakin' computer, man.

[all laugh]

No, seriously,
I feel pretty good.

Makin' smores
is kinda lame,

but you guys,
you're all right.

It's cool hanging out
with people,

instead of electronics.

You're pretty cool,
Wyatt.

Thanks for sharing.

I know that wasn't easy.

Okay, everybody,
tonight I'm really proud

to share that Frank
has earned his independence.

Whoo!Yeah!

Frank, I'm just,
I'm so proud of you, man.

You really worked
hard at this.

You really deserve it.

Great job.

Why don't you stand
and share a little bit

with everybody.

Don't need permission
to piss anymore.

[laughs]

Congratulations,
man, great job.

Thanks.

I'm gonna,
I'm gonna read from this

because, you know,
I'm not good at speeches,

and it's easier
if it's written down.

Okay.

Being here
has not been easy.

For a long time,
my focus was trying
to figure out

how to get the hell
out of here.

[all laugh]

But then I realized
that I needed to understand

how I got here
in the first place.

I'm not proud
of some of the stuff

I did in my past,

but I forgive myself
because I know

what happened then
isn't about who I am now,

or the person
I want to be.

I'm learning to accept

and understand my shit

so I can manage it all
a little bit better.

And I'm learning to accept
other people as they are.

Because if I don't,

you guys are gonna
drive me crazy.

Seriously though,
I found a quote the other day

that I wanted to share.

"Life is short, live it.

Love is rare, grab it.

Anger is bad, dump it.

Fear is awful,
face it.

Memories are sweet,
cherish them."

[clapping]

Well, I'm glad
you're all here.

I know this is a stressful
time for all of you.

Kyle and Jessie,

do you understand
what's happening with Tim?

Yeah.

[Henry]
Kyle.

What?

Someone's talking
to you.I get it.

Tim's bipolar.

No, actually,
Tim's not bipolar.

Tim has bipolar disorder.

What difference
does that make?

It's kind of important
that you separate

the illness from Tim.

That's the difference.

You seem angry.

Well, I know
it's not his fault.

That's true,
but you can know that
and still be angry.

I'm not angry.

Oh, honey,
it's okay to be angry.

You can talk
about it here.

Catherine,
you can just let Jessie

talk for himself,
just for today.

Thank you though.

I mean, I'm sad
and stuff,

but...

but I'm kinda
glad he's gone.

Well, see Tim took a lot
of his anger out on Jessie.

So it was very,
very hard on him.

Kyle, what's up
over there.

[scoffs]
It's just so typical.

Jessie only thinks
about himself

and Mom always jumps in
to defend him.

Kyle, that's inappropriate
and unfair.

You know what's
not fair?

What?

It's not fair that things
used to be fine.

It was fun and happy,
and he was never afraid.

And now, it sucks.

It sounds like
you were really close.

We used to be.

Used to?

Do you feel...

do you feel like
it's someone's fault?

My parents, I guess.

Mmm-hmm.

Why couldn't
they control him?

Do you really
think they could
have done something?

No.

I mean how does
this all make you feel?

How does it feel
for you to hear Kyle?

I've tried to keep
the family together

and I feel
helpless sometimes.

Jessie, you said
that you were relieved

that Tim was gone.

That's perfectly normal to be
relieved that he's not there.

I mean, when you don't know
what's gonna happen

in your house,
that's gotta be upsetting.

It's tough walkin'
on eggshells all the time,

huh, pal?

[sighs]
Well, Tim is working
on getting better.

He's going to come home
and keep working.

And you all need to learn
how to cope, really,

and to take care
of yourselves,

because he can't
do it alone.

You all can't
do it alone.

Be there
for each other and...

This is really
a family effort, yeah.

There's hope.

[man]
More fan mail, Frank.

Timothy Spencer.

♪

[Catherine]
Dear Tim, How are you?

We want you to know
how proud of you we are.

We just miss you terribly,
and I can't wait to see you.

I can't believe that
it's already been two weeks

since our last visit.

[Tim]
Dear Mom and Dad,

I miss home so much,

and I'm working hard
so I can come back soon.

Frank and I are becoming
good friends.

He's pretty chill.

He gets it,
if you know what I mean.

Are Jessie and Kyle
coming to visit this time?

I've got some cool
new card games

I want to teach them.

Tell them I miss them.

I love you.

I think a lot about home,

but it makes me really sad.

I'm so sorry
for all the pain

I've put you guys through.

It's very difficult
to talk about,

but I'm working on it.

Everyone here has a story,
and nobody judges,

especially Rocket,
but he's a dog.

Hey, can we get a dog
when I come home?

I can't wait
to see you next week.

I miss you.

[Henry]
It's so peaceful here.

Do you guys get out here
to hike a lot?

Sometimes,
on weekends.

[Catherine]
Tim, are you okay?

Can we go back
to the hotel?

Tim, we're only halfway
through our hike.

I'm really tired,
can we go?

I think if you just
keep walking, you know,

you'll probably feel better.

No, I can't do it.

Well, either way
you look at it,

we've got a half an hour
back or forward.

I don't care.
I can't do it.

I'm done.

Okay, listen.
Maybe we just need

a little break, okay?

Honey, listen, remember
what James said, okay?

I don't give a crap
about what James said.

You are my parents.

Why do you listen
to everything that hesays?

That place sucks.

I don't belong there.

Shh, no Tim.

I need to come home.

Honey, call James.
All right.

Honey, it's okay.

It's okay.

Look at me.
Look at me.

It's okay.

I don't know
what happened, James.

I mean, everything
was fine

until it wasn't.

He was doing so well,

and we haven't had
an episode like this

in quite some time.

This is actually
progress, guys.

Sometimes it's one step forward,
and five steps back.

If he doesn't let it out,
we can't help him.

So it's actually progress
that he has a meltdown

in the middle
of the woods,

and we practically
have to airlift him out.

Yes, yes.

Sometimes it is.

Trust me.

Now we've got
something to work with.

Oh, my God, Lisa.

No, seriously,
I didn't think

we were gonna get him
back there.

I know.

Oh, I have another call
coming in, can you hold on?

Okay, thanks.

Hello.

Yes, this is Catherine.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Thursday works.

No problem.
Thank you.

[clicks]

Hey, sorry about that.

No, it's just
the doctor's office.

No, I feel good.

I do. In fact,
I want to go on a run

before Jessie gets home
from school. Okay?

All right,
I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Catherine, your husband
couldn't make it?

Oh, no,
it's not necessary.

You know, Dr. Lee, my mother
has had so many biopsies.

It's always the same thing.

I guess I take after her.

We laugh that
we're just lumpy.

[laughs]

Catherine,
I'm afraid it's

a bit more complicated
than that.

You have five small tumors
in your left breast,

and the pathology report
indicates that each tumor

tested positive
for evasive cancer.

How serious is it?

I'm recommending you have
both breasts removed.

If I have a mastectomy
will it get rid of the cancer?

Well, we won't know,
for sure, until after surgery.

Depends how far
the cancer has spread.

Will I need
chemotherapy?

It's hard to tell,
but I think it's likely.

Catherine,
I'm very sorry.

Mmm.

I can't remember
having a meal this good.

What's this?
There's like a tarragon
in this dressing.

It's amazing.

Mmm. Mmm.

Honey.
Mmm-hmm.

Um... I need
to tell you something.

Mm-hmm.

Um...

I have breast cancer.

I'm so sorry.

No, no.
Don't you apologize.

Honey, I feel so...
No, no.

I feel so guilty.Stop it. Stop it.

Look at me.

We're gonna get
through this together.

All right?

Okay.

We're gonna
get through this.

Okay.

Your mom and I
have something

that we've wanted
to talk to you about,

and there's really
no easy way to say this,

so I'm just gonna come
right out and say it.

Your mom has cancer.

Breast cancer.

But it's okay, guys.

Okay, I've met
with the top doctors

and I do need surgery...

Breast cancer?

Don't people
die from that?

Not necessarily.

Not if you catch
it in time.

And did we?

Well, we won't know
until Mom has her surgery.

Will you need chemotherapy?

Probably, sweetie.

What's chemotherapy?

It's when the doctors
give you medicine

to help the cancer
go away.

But sometimes it can
make you a little sick.

But that's okay.

Honey, it'll be okay,
because then the cancer

will all be gone.

Will you lose your hair?

Your hair?

More than likely.

But I don't want you
to lose your hair.

Oh, honey, come here.

It's only hair.

I promise you
it will grow back.

The most important thing
is that we all pitch in
together as a family,

and help mom
get through this,

so she can get
better quickly.

Who's gonna tell Tim?

♪

Tim, can I talk to you
in private for a few minutes?

Yeah, sure.

Be right back.

♪

[no audio]

No one's come
and talked to us yet,

but I'm sure Mom's
doing just fine.

They said it could take
up to four or five hours.

Just take care of Jessie,
would you, please?

And try not to worry.

Oh, Kyle,
the doctor's coming.

Let me call you back
in a little bit.

All right.

How is she?

She's in
the recovery room.

How did the surgery go?

It went very well.

We removed the sentinel
lymph nodes,

and from what we saw
they were all clear.

So the cancer
hasn't spread.

Well, we won't
be 100% sure

until we get the
pathology reports back.

And how long
will that take?

Well, it usually takes
about seven to ten days.

I will call you
personally.

Okay. Thanks
very much, doctor.

Thank you, doctor.It's my pleasure.

I can tell your wife
is a very strong woman.

I'm sure she'll be okay.
