[Woman] Stay awake!

(radio chatter)

Okay Daniel, you just stay awake.

[Boy] ...if I can touch yours

[Boy 2] You first.

(woman shouting)

Listen to me!

[Man] Daniel Kreuger Show.

[Woman] Stay awake!

(man breathing heavily, shivering)

[Boy] Thank you, Mom.

How you doin'?

- I'm good. - Good.

Trust me, don't worry, you're gonna be great.

[Man] Thanks.

Welcome back to the Daniel Kreuger Show.

You're gonna meet today's actor, Ryan Peters,

star of the hot new series, Dawn.

Ryan, the series centers around

the first human genius,

like some sort of prehistoric DaVinci.

He's good.

He's amazing.

[Ryan] Yeah, that's exactly it.

My character's the first to introduce

intelligence to the human race.

So talk to me about Kayley Pope.

Kayley is the female lead in the series,

they've written her in to be just as

intelligent as my character, so of course,

we're very attracted to each other.

(audience cheers and applauds)

I think the question on everyone's mind,

is that chemistry as hot off screen

as it is on?

All rumors.

[Daniel] Not according to the fan pages.

Can I give you some advice?

They'll stop hounding you if you just admit to it.

Wouldn't you rather spend an interview like this

promoting your show instead of trying to stop some rumors?

Trust me.

Admit it and we'll move on.

Okay.

It's true.

(audience cheers and applauds)

We've been dating for over a month.

Just imagine those ratings.

Mhm.

Can't believe he got him.

Mhm.

There was never really any doubt.

No.

We're gonna kill the time slot.

Ratings are gonna go through the roof.

[Woman] Mhm.

[Daniel] Was it love at first sight?

[Woman] That's our Daniel.

Your show just received the highest ratings

the network has ever seen.

And you've only been on the air for a few months.

The audience just adores you.

You're not just gonna sit there and smile,

you're phenomenal.

You should be through the roof.

Say something.

Oh, uh...

I got him.

Who?

Him.

You're shitting me.

This is huge, do you know what this means?

You're givin' me a raise.

I just gave you a raise.

That was three weeks ago.

[Woman] Daniel, this is gonna define you,

hell it's gonna define the whole network.

He hasn't spoken to anyone, not a single soul

since he was charged.

How did you do it?

I have my ways.

Will you ever let me in on your little secrets?

There's a catch.

(woman laughs)

A catch, of course.

There's always a fucking catch.

He wants to do it live.

Live?

Live.

That's impossible.

When?

Thursday.

Okay, that's beyond impossible.

That's going to take a fucking miracle.

Not just any kind of miracle,

a raise him from the fucking dead kind of miracle.

Praise be to Barb almighty.

(growls)

Give me back my cigarettes.

No, would you try these instead.

(phone rings)

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll see you later then.

It'll be hot, I got a boner already.

(intense music)

(phone rings)

breathing heavily)

Yeah.

You were right.

I am almighty.

(Daniel panting)

Hello?

Daniel?

Are you okay?

[Daniel] Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just, uh...

Back from a jog.

You're on Thursday.

I know.

How do you know, I just got the call fifteen seconds ago.

Because I have more faith in you

than you have in yourself, Barb.

I knew you could do it.

Let's celebrate tonight.

Champagne on the network's account?

I'll invite Ralph.

[Daniel] Perfect.

I'll- I'll see you later.

(piano music plays)

(knocking at the door)

Hey.

Take your clothes off.

(panting)

You're free to go.

Your feet are cold?

No, I said, "You're free to go."

(phone beeps)

(upbeat dance music)

Hey, congratulations, rock star.

Hah, yeah.

[Barb] Excuse me, could we get a bottle of...

I got it.

Okay, put it on my tab.

Can I get a bottle of champagne?

Three glasses?

Hey kid, what are you having?

A- a beer, I guess.

What kind?

Surprise me.

Could I get a draught?

Put it on Barb's tab.

Thanks.

Hey what's your name?

Alright.

[Barb] To Daniel.

He's a killer!

Our Daniel!

Oh no, I couldn't have done it without both of you.

Well it's all of us then.

Yeah.

(glasses clink)

I'm just going for a quick smoke, I'll be right back.

Hey, hey, what about the gum?

Hey buddy, I know I said I'd pay you back today

but, do you think it could wait until next payday?

I'm a little behind this month.

I know I said the same thing last month, you've been great,

but just, I really am just catching up right now,

I just, I need a little more time.

Ralph, don't worry about it.

It's all good.

[Ralph] Thanks.

Hey, I owe you.

So, I looked at the interview questions

and they're pretty soft.

I mean the guy just got charged

for selling arms to terrorists.

Look, he's adamant about approving the questions,

he doesn't want this to turn into a public execution.

[Barb] But that's exactly what I want it to be.

If he thinks he can't trust us, he won't show.

[Barb] So you're going to let him fucking control

the whole interview?

We'll be live, Barb.

Trust me, I will be asking the questions

everyone wants answered.

But Barb, it's a celebration, would you stop working?

You realize you're going to have to nail this.

But you will, I know you will.

So why don't you ask her to dance?

Okay.

(electronic music swells)

Uh, look, thank you so much for the champagne,

I gotta head out.

[Barb] What?

But you just got here.

Yeah, what can I say?

Hello, Daniel.

It's really good to see you again.

Don't tell me you don't remember who I am.

No of course I do, it's, uh, Laura.

Yeah, uh, listen, uh,

I 'II call you some other time, okay?

(intense cello and piano plays)

(inhales deeply)

[Ralph] Daniel, where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck is he?

I tried calling him 20 times,

he's not answering.

Okay, well try him again.

Mr. Watson, I'm Barb O'Neil, producer

of the Daniel Kreuger show.

Thank you for dropping your silence

and giving the public a glimpse of the arms industry,

and its dealers.

Where's Kreuger?

He's on his way, should be here in a second.

We'll just get you started in makeup, okay?

Come on.

Ned, thank you for coming.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Look if you're feeling nervous at all,

I got a 20-year-old bottle of Scotch around here

that works wonders.

Yeah, you stick to the agenda, I got nothing

to be nervous about.

Now let's just get this over with.

It'll be over before you know it.

(sighs)

(high-pitched ringing)

What's he doing?

He's moving his chair.

Yeah, I can see that, but why?

I don't know, maybe Ned has bad breath?

(sighs)

(high-pitched ringing)

(breathes unevenly)

(intro music plays)

Welcome to the Daniel Kreuger Show.

(audience applauds)

Joining me live today is

arms dealer, Ned Watson.

I prefer defense contractor.

Well you knowingly sold arms to terrorists.

A government coverup.

They made the mistake, I'm the scapegoat.

Children are dead as a result, how do you sleep at night?

[Ned] I am not here to answer those kind of questions

that you or the rest of the goddamned world

might have for me.

I am here to publicly request asylum

in your country.

(high-pitched ringing)

Wow.

Are you on something, Kreuger?

Excuse me.

[Barb] Ralph, get the fuck up there

and finish the interview.

But no--

Just go.

(intense music plays)

Daniel, what the fuck?

[Ralph] Asylum?

You really expect our government...

(panting)

(high-pitched ringing)

(heartbeat thumping)

(heartbeat thumping)

(glass clinking)

(panting, uneven breathing)

(soft piano music plays)

(phone ringing)

(phone beeps)

[Phone] You have one new message.

First message.

[Woman's voice] Hi Daniel, it's me,

your Aunt Margret.

I was just calling to see how you're doing.

I- I saw your show and,

well I just thought you might...

It- it would be nice to see you.

Please call.

My number is--

(hangs up phone)

Why are you looking at me like that?

You think you got some kind of plan?

Hmm?

Alright, let's hear it.

Just what I thought, nothing.

What if I go out there again

and suffocate or pass out?

I don't wanna go to a doctor.

(mumbles)

I mean what's he gonna find, anyway?

Nothing.

I'm fine, I'm imagining all of this shit.

I'm scared.

Scared of what?

Why, why?

Oh fuck this shit.

Fuck this shit.

(electronic music playing)

Remember me?

You have a TV show, don't you?

You're not our usual demographic.

I don't really pay much attention,

it's kind of boring, I just...

...like looking at you.

You know the way you bite your lip

before you say something important?

That's hot.

Excuse me.

(bass thumping)

I like you.

You smell like me.

It's good.

Are you even allowed in here?

How old are you?

I'm 18.

And you're 29.

What's wrong with that?

And how do you know how old I am?

I looked you up on the internet.

There are lots of pages about you.

(laughs)

Alright, it's time to go home.

I'm sure your parents are waiting up.

What are you doing?

Are you an escort or something?

Get out of here.

I like you.

You don't even know me.

Alright.

Alright, go home kid, it's past your bedtime.

I love you.

(knocking at the door)

[Barb] Daniel?

Daniel?

It's me, Barb.

I know you're in there.

The caretaker just told me you haven't left in days.

I'm not leaving until you open up.

Look, if you don't open the door,

I'm going to call for help.

I'm worried about you.

Just go away.

[Barb] No, open the door!

[Ralph] Come on, Daniel. Open up.

We need to talk to you.

[Barb] We just wanna help you.

I'm gonna call an ambulance.

I don't need a god damned ambulance,

I'm fine.

[Ralph] Just open the door so that we can talk to you.

[Barb] Daniel?

You need to make some decisions.

I quit.

[Barb] What?

I quit, okay?

Now go away, please.

(Barb and Ralph murmuring)

(thumps on the door)

[Ralph] Daniel.

(thumps on the door)

Open the door.

(thumps on the door)

Now.

If you fucking break my door down

I will call the police.

Do you wanna deal with that shit?

Do you wanna deal with that?

[Barb] We're here for you if you need us, okay?

Call any time.

[Ralph] Yeah, I mean,

you've always been there for me, Daniel,

and...

Look, I brought the money that I owe you, okay?

I'll just, I'll slip it under the door.

Thanks again.

We miss you, Daniel.

Shit.

[Woman] Are you okay?

Should I call for help?

No. No, no, no.

I'm fine.

I was just wondering where the uh,

where the milk is.

It's just down at the end of this aisle.

You know what, I just realized I don't need milk.

Okay.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

No, I'm good, thanks.

(intense music plays)

[Daniel] Can't fucking live like this.

Live like what?

What are you doing here?

Just stopping by for a visit.

Can I come up?

[Daniel] No.

(sighs)

(knocking at the door)

Surprise.

How did you get in the building?

I have my ways.

How do you know where I live?

Don't hate me but

I followed you home the other night.

[Daniel] I should call the police.

I know you like me too.

Hey, you can't stay.

School totally sucked today.

We had P.E., it was endurance training,

it was so awful.

Then we're off to the showers, and I'm,

well, completely shaved, so obviously

I get my ass kicked.

They don't like my pierced nipple.

See?

I used to be just like that when I was a kid.

What was it like when you were in high school?

It's been a long time.

What was your GPA?

Three point one.

Huh, same as mine.

Woah.

(laughs)

Hey did you have a boyfriend then?

Or like, a crush on someone?

No.

What, were you scared?

(laughs)

What are you doing here?

I though we could make dinner

'cause I wanted to celebrate that I love you.

I like to be left alone.

Nobody likes to be left alone.

Not even the people that say that,

they don't mean it.

Well, I mean it.

Hey, what should we make for dinner?

I don't have anything to eat.

Hmm.

These are past their date.

(laughs)

This'll do.

I don't have any milk or butter.

But you have salsa.

We'll make the noodles and we'll add the salsa,

it'll be awesome.

Where are your pots?

You don't talk that much.

People in my family don't really talk that much either,

that's...

why I talk so much.

I can't stand silence.

I mean, somebody's always gotta be saying something.

God gave us language so we could talk, right?

You don't believe in God?

Me neither.

I just, I sort of said it.

It's like a figure of speech.

Do you ever think about the past?

Like why things are the way they are?

I don't waste my time on idle thoughts.

[Alexander] It's good to question things sometimes.

I mean, you're not a child anymore.

(laughs)

Right.

(soft music plays)

Is this your first time?

So what was it like when you told your parents

you were gay?

Have you told your parents?

Well, I will now.

How come you're not on TV anymore?

I don't like that Ralph guy.

He's not hot like you.

When you gonna go back on?

You sh- you should probably go now.

Fine.

If that's how you feel.

[Daniel] Don't be such a--

Such a what?

I was gonna say child.

You're an asshole.

(sighs)

I don't need this shit.

Alexander...

(inhales deeply)

(intense music plays)

(TV playing intro music)

[Ralph] Welcome back everybody, thank you for joining us.

Now let's get into the good stuff.

So everybody's talking about this accident

with a Ilama, now what was that all about?

[Talk show guest] We were shooting a scene

for my music video where I come up behind

this hot farm girl who's feeding a Ilama.

So when I take her in my arms...

(laughs)

...this Ilama gets pissed.

Can I say "pissed" on TV?

No.

(laughs)

But go on, go on.

So this Ilama gets pissed,

'cause I come along and interrupt its supper.

So it bites me.

Takes a chunk right out of my chest.

23 stitches.

[Ralph] Well can we see?

(audience cheers)

Do you guy wanna see this?

Come on, you gotta give them what they want.

Come on, everybody, make some noise.

Ah, hell yeah.

(audience cheers and applauds)

[Ralph] Oh, oh my goodness!

Can we get a--

Fuck!

(grunts)

(doorbell rings)

Yeah.

[Intercom] Your Chinese food is here.

Call it up.

Thank you Mr. Kreuger.

Yeah, thank you.

Oh, I love Chinese food.

Smells really good.

You order chicken balls?

I love chicken balls.

Did you miss me?

I was thinking we could go for a walk after dinner.

Oh, no thanks.

[Alexander] Why not?

Could you pass the rice?

(foot thumping)

Hey, please stop shaking your knee?

You're banging the table.

I just had a song in my head and my foot was moving to it.

I always have a song in my head.

My art teacher was saying that Mozart

always had a song in his head too.

So why don't you wanna go out?

You ask too many questions.

(soft piano plays)

[Alexander] Why don't you keep in touch

with your family?

[Daniel] You don't know them.

[Alexander] Did you tell them?

[Daniel] What, that I screw men?

I never really could decide.

[Alexander] Never?

[Daniel] Why limit yourself?

[Alexander] So you don't lose track of who you are.

Were you happy at 18?

[Daniel] I would have liked to have been more like you.

(phone beeps)

[Alexander] Aren't you gonna see who that is?

[Daniel] Nope.

It says it's from someone named Michael.

Who the fuck is Michael?

[Daniel] Nobody.

No, who is he?

I deserve to know.

[Daniel] He's just some guy.

You never said that you had a boyfriend.

[Daniel] I've never had a boyfriend.

You're such a prick.

I hate you.

Alexander.

I fucking hate you.

(door slams)

[Woman on TV) Inhale and exhale.

Push back to the child's pose.

Breathe into your back, lengthen.

Last downward-facing dog,

let's come up, inhale.

Lift the hips high.

Exhale, sink the hips low.

Draw that spine long,

lift the sitbones high.

Open the fingers wide.

We're gonna walk it forward, and you're gonna

come down onto your knees for the first one.

We do opposite arm, opposite leg.

So I'd like you to take one arm and the opposite leg out,

hold that, and keep your spine nice and long.

Take it down, let's do the other side.

Opposite arm, opposite leg.

Pull back strong, good job.

And stay with that or come into a wide-footed plank

where you draw the hips down in line with the shoulders

Alright.

Groceries.

(doorbell rings)

Yeah?

[Intercom] Mr. Kreuger, I have your groceries.

[Daniel] Come on up.

(knocking at the door)

It's a beautiful day outside.

[Daniel] I wouldn't know.

[Alexander] Morning, sweetheart.

Sweetheart?

You miss me?

I have the day off, it's in inservice day.

So I can spend the whole day with you.

Wanna start with breakfast?

How about a cappuccino?

Look, I'm really busy today.

[Alexander] Ta-da. You impressed?

How are you?

I'm pretty busy, actually.

Doing what?

Things.

What things?

Boring things.

Let's talk about you for a change.

What do you wanna be when you're older.

Hmm.

I don't know, maybe an artist.

What kind of artist?

Well, my mom, she thinks I should be a writer.

What about your dad?

I don't know, I don't think he cares.

As long as I make a decent living.

(laughs)

Are you parents proud of you?

What are you doing here?

[Alexander] What do you think?

(soft piano music plays)

Hey.

[Alexander] How come you never talk about your parents?

Did they...

...disown you when you told them that you're gay?

There's a lot of things I don't like to talk about.

Why?

I don't like to talk about it.

Okay.

I won't talk about your parents.

Can you tell me where you grew up?

If I tell you where you grew up,

will you stop asking personal questions?

Yes.

On a farm.

(laughs)

Seriously?

What, you find that hard to believe?

With cows and chickens and stuff?

I just don't see you in suspenders and gingham.

Well, it was a long time ago.

(laughs)

You ever miss it?

No.

Sometimes.

Where is it?

Look, I'm really tired, do you mind if we just sleep?

Okay.

- Can you please sit still? - I'm bored.

Why don't you go home?

I'm spending the entire day with you.

Right.

Let's go for ice cream.

No, thanks.

But, I'm craving a butterscotch ice cream cone.

Butterscotch used to be my favorite.

So, what is it now?

I guess still butterscotch.

So, let's go!

Come on! How can you resist a double scoop, butterscotch ice cream cone?

There's an ice cream stand just two blocks away, in the park.

It's the best ice cream ever. We'll come right back here.

(laughs) Come on!

(music)

Come on!

Let's go.

Hey, uh, can I get two, double scoop butterscotch cones, please?

I would try on The Queen's tiara.

And I'd help Princess Katherine pick out all her outfits.

You would get fired.

Sorry, when he gets going, it's impossible to shut him up.

(music)

Thank you.

Yeah...

...butterscotch is definitely still my favorite.

Thank you.

Oh, my God, I love this book.

Did you ever read it?

Uh, yeah, I read it in high school.

Well, did you love it?

It was okay.

It was okay? Seriously?

It's amazing.

I mean, sometimes I feel like Tess.

Why?

I dunno.

She tries so hard and...

...somehow things always go wrong for her.

Do things go wrong for you?

It's ten after four?

Oh, my God, I'm gonna be late.

My mom thinks I'm at school and school ended at three.

I gotta go.

[Phone] You have one new message,

and one saved message.

First new message. (phone beeps)

[Barb on phone] Hi, Daniel. Why aren't you answering?

I really need to talk to you.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Jesus. I'm sorry.

Look, just call me. Okay?

(phone beeps)

These pickles are crap.

I asked the guy for the deli pickles,

and he never gets it right.

He's an idiot.

[Alexander] I thought maybe we could go for a walk after dinner.

It's one of those days that just...

...makes you feel like smiling.

Come on.

Just for a short while.

[Alexander chuckles]

You need to keep going.

I've always been afraid of other people.

Why?

I don't know, it's...

They suffocate me. Scare me.

But your job...

Yeah, that's different. I know what I'm doing there.

Well... knew what I was doing.

Why are things the way they are?

I don't know.

Does your mother always feel afraid of other people?

Yes, she always felt afraid...

Always felt... inferior...

Stupid...

And did she suffocate you, as well?

I just never dared to be happy when she was sad, and...

...she was sad most of the time.

And you listened to her, didn't you?

Just admit it.

You can practically sense what somebody says

before they even say it.

That's why you're so good at your job.

[Alexander] Tell me about your father.

[Daniel] Didn't really have much to say to each other.

[Alexander] He beat you?

[Daniel] I don't know. I think he meant well.

[Alexander] Well?

[Daniel] He wanted to show me what life was like.

[Alexander] They way he might?

[Daniel] Yeah.

(laughs)

[Alexander] I gotta go.

[Daniel] What?

What do you mean, you gotta go?

[Alexander] I'm gonna be late for supper.

My mom is gonna kill me if I'm late.

All right, I mean, I...

I did have plans, but if--

If you're so busy...

What plans?

Well...

I wanted to go get groceries.

I can't rely on that delivery service anymore.

I figure...

...since you're always over...

...and eating all of my food...

...thought you might wanna come along...

...pick out something you want.

Well...

All right...

...but... only because I love you.

You're awfully quiet.

I'm just a little down.

Why?

Well, you still haven't said that you love me.

I love being with you.

That's not the same.

All right, so I think I have all the groceries I need.

We're not done yet. We haven't even been down any of the aisles.

I don't bother with the aisles.

Why not?

Everything I need is on the periphery.

But then you're missing out on all the cookies.

These are so good.

And these!

(laughs)

(knocking at the door)

Come in!

Daniel... finally.

Come in.

Shut the door.

Hey, Barb.

How are you feeling?

Fine... Yeah.

Fine.

I took your advice.

[Daniel] I'm glad to see that.

I want my show back.

Ralph is doing really well, actually.

To be honest,

the ratings haven't dropped since he's taken the show over.

What a--

What- what are you saying?

It's not yours to take back.

You know I'm better than him. You're making a huge mistake.

You can't just walk--

You are a goddamn executive because of me.

This whole fucking office is because of me.

That is bullshit, Daniel, and you know it--

No, no, no. Don't you dare deny it.

You know it's true.

You would be nothing without me.

Nothing!

Why are yo being such a prick?

Do you know what your escapade cost me?

I almost lost my job, god damn it.

Kiss my ass.

Do you really think that you can just waltz right in here

after what happened and demand your show back?

Just like that?

We don't even know what's wrong with you.

You won't even talk to me.

(intense music building)

Are you okay?

Let me call for help.

Let me call someone.

[Woman] You just stay awake.

Okay, Daniel?

[Boy] If I can touch yours.

[Boy 2] You first.

(knocking at the door)

[Alexander] Daniel, open up. It's me!

(knocking at the door)

Hurry!

(knocking at the door)

Daniel!

(knocking at the door)

Daniel!

(pounding at the door)

Come on.

I got grounded because of you.

I'm- I'm sorry. What?

You made me go shopping with you,

so I was late for supper, and now I'm grounded.

I, um...

I don't know what to say here.

You are such a...

...great kid, but, um, this isn't working out.

Look, I think you should go.

I can't.

Look, I've ran away from home. I hate my mom.

She is such a bitch.

I'm quitting school and I'm gonna move in with you.

You can't quit school,

and you mother just cares about you.

I think you're overreacting.

What the fuck, Daniel?

I can't believe you'd pick sides with someone who you've-

you've never even met, over me.

Look, I put up with all of your shit

and this is the thanks I get? Fuck you!

Okay, calm down.

Calm down? Me, calm down?

You're one to talk. You don't even know what calm is.

You are fucking crazy. You know that.

- Mind your own shit. - No!

You had everything going for you! You had this perfect life.

Your own TV show, this beautiful apartment,

you had everything and you fucked it all up!

You don't think I know that? I already know that.

I don't need some fucking puppy reminding me what I already know!

I'm not a fucking puppy!

I know way more about life than you do.

And I know that you... (growls)

You need to get your shit together

and keep going.

You are a tragic hero, Daniel,

and you know what happens to tragic heroes?

They die.

That is so fucking cute.

You study 12th grade English and character flaws,

and now you're some kind of expert.

You don't know shit.

I know way more than you think.

Where the fuck would you be without me?

You can't do anything without me.

Don't flatter yourself. I'll figure it out.

How?

You don't even try to do anything on your own.

"Alexander, will you hold my hand?"

"Alexander, will you go shopping with me?"

You're the puppy. Not me.

Get the fuck out of my house now.

It's all in your head.

You need to try to do things on your own.

You need to keep--

I don't want to, okay?!

I don't fucking want to!

Do you understand me?

- Do you wanna fuck me? - What?!

- Do you want to fuck me? - Are you insane?

No, that would be you.

Fuck me now! Come on! Come on!

Jesus Christ!

(Daniel grunting)

[Alexander] You can do it, Daniel.

You need to try harder.

(breathing heavily)

You need to know why.

All right, I feel scared. I don't know why, but...

(groaning with pleasure)

(gentle piano music)

Your mother only grounded you because she loves you.

She just wants what's best for you.

Just go home and tell her you're sorry.

I'll do that on one condition...

What?

You take me to the farmhouse...

...where you grew up.

I wanna see it.

(crickets chirping)

Oh!

That's where you grew up, huh?

Oh, I love these swings.

Whoo!

(eerie music)

Did you love this swing?

God. I'm leaving.

I love you.

Come on.

(Alexander laughs)

It's awesome in here! Come on!

Hey, was this your room?

Come on.

Don't take all day.

(gentle instrumental music)

[Mother] You can open your eyes now, Daniel.

Thank you, Mom.

[Alexander] I am here.

(soft ominous music)

[Boy] Let me see.

[Boy 2] Okay.

[Boy] I'll let you touch mine if I can touch yours.

[Boy 2] You first.

[Daniel] Alexander!

(intense music)

I'm telling.

[Boy, screaming] I don't wanna go to the doctor!

I don't wanna go!

You're overreacting, John.

I don't wanna go!

We don't wanna go!

Speak up. I can't hear you.

I don't wanna go!

You're overreacting.

I don't wanna go!

What the hell do you mean, overreacting?

He doesn't need to go to the doctor.

Shut the hell up!

[Young Daniel] I don't wanna go to the doctor!

Tell your son to shut the hell up.

[Young Daniel continues screaming]

[Father] Stop.

Stop kicking my god damn--

(crash)

[Mother] Daniel.

[Truck Driver] Shit.

Holy shit! Are you all right?

[Mother] Please. My son.

[Truck Driver] Don't move. Just stay put.

I'll call for help.

[Mother] You just stay awake. All right?

You'll be okay, baby.

You just stay awake, Daniel.

Daniel, stay awake, okay?

Where were you?

[Daniel] He wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

Dead right away.

Panic moment.

You see what's coming but there's nothing you can do.

Mom was jammed in the wreck with me.

Cops said she must've been alive for maybe another half hour.

She didn't take her eyes off of me...

...for 30 minutes.

30 minutes of panic.

I wonder if she thought I was dead.

It's actually really easy to veer into oncoming traffic.

You just take your attention away from the road for one second...

...and it's over.

[Alexander] Daniel...

Please stop.

We don't wanna die.

(gentle piano music)

(light instrumental music)

(birds chirping)

Margret?

Daniel.

What a surprise.

Oh, I've missed you. It's so good to see you.

Are you all right?

Oh, come. I'll make you some tea.

Still two sugars?

No, no sugar now.

Oh.

I watch your TV show.

It's not mine anymore.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

So, what are you doing now?

Just trying to figure some stuff out.

I went back the other day...

...for the first time.

Is the swing still in the front yard?

Your mother loved that swing.

Yeah.

It's still there.

Margret, I just wanted to thank you...

...for everything that you did for me...

...after.

I loved having you and your sister here, Daniel.

How is she?

She's having a baby next month.

Yeah.

She misses you, too.

I don't blame her anymore.

Do you still blame yourself?

Daniel?

You, your sister, your father, your mother...

...each and every one of you...

...could carry the blame for what happened that day...

...but it wouldn't change anything.

My sister adored you.

You were just like her, you know. Her little artist.

She would be devastated if she knew

that you were suffering because of what happened.

Daniel, you lived for a reason.

Your mother believed in fate.

You must be strong...

...for her...

...and me.

(gentle piano music)

It was so good to see you.

Now, don't be a stranger.

Yeah, I'm available.

I think I can make that work,

but I 'II have to check first.

Sure.

I'll get back to you.

All right, I--

All right. You're welcome.

Everything okay?

Everything's fine.

And?

A job offer.

That's great.

It's a possibility.

So?

They offered me the job.

Congratulations...

...but you know, you should call Barb.

Ah, Jesus, it's fucking freezing in here.

(instrumental music)

So, what are you gonna want.

I don't know.

I wanna be free...

...inside...

...for real.

Not- not just have to act confident.

To be able to be happy or sad

without everything turning into some kind of disaster.

Bravo.

Hey.

I know a place...

...that you can go shopping...

...where there are... only periphery aisles...

...and lots of exit signs.

Let's go.

It's like it was made for you.

That one?

Yeah.

Oh, this is getting better by the minute.

Hey, you know what pairs perfectly with pasta?

- What? - Chianti.

Grapes Sangiovese,

and its acidity balances out with the tomato sauce so well.

I love when you talk like that.

You're so smart.

I love it when you get this close.

Oh, my God. (gasps)

I love these dolls.

Look, there's one inside the other

and they're all exactly the same.

Even the little one.

This one's me.

(thunder)

Oh, I forgot the Russian dolls.

No, Alex! (tires screeching)

No!

Alex!

Alex...

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

I love you.

You're gonna be okay. Please.

Please.

You don't need me.

Yes, I do.

(crying) Yes.

You can do it by yourself.

(crying)

I love you. I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I'll always be with you.

Inside of you.

You're okay, buddy. You're okay, buddy.

Lover... Lover...

(thunder)

(forlorn piano music)

(inaudible)

(intense piano music)

Crazy?! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Someone call 911!

You okay?

Can't you see he needs help?!

Do you need help?

Hey. Hey, you.

I almost ran you over.

Where is he?! Where is he?!

Where is he?!

[Daniel continues shouting indistinctly]

(instrumental music)

(Alexander's laughter echoing)

(echoing laughter)

(clears throat)

Barb, um...

I've got an idea.

I've received an offer,

but I need a producing partner to pull it off.

It's big.

How big?

Major network. Primetime.

There's an elephant in the room here, Daniel,

and how do you plan to deal with that?

Never live, no studio audience,

no pressure.

I can handle it.

Tell me why I should agree to partner with you.

Because you believe in me

as much as I believe in you.

I'm listening.
