[gentle music]

[Gina] First social media video ever! What's up?

- [thunder rumbling] - It's Gina coming at you live

from Upstate, New York.

- [Sol groans softly] Sugar! - [Sol] Do you want that information

out on the internet?

- [Gina] Hey. Mm. - [Sol] What?

- [Sol] Come on, man! - [Gina] If we had yearbooks,

how would you sign mine?

[Sol] You are a very interesting person.

- [Gina scoffs] - [clack]

- [Sol] Have a nice summer. - [Gina laughs]

[rain splattering]

Yo! What up? It's Big G coming at ya.

Oh, fu-- this is live! It just-- [humming]

And it's out there now.

[whimsical music]

And there's my brilliant graduate.

You look so smart. Say something smart.

Oh, man, my tie broke!

[Gina laughs, softly] Sol is stupid.

- Mm. Um... [shakily] um-- [chuckles] - [Sol] What are we doing?

Oh, I feel like we've been waiting for this for so long.

We're adopting our first child today.

[gasps] Oh, my God, there she is. [chuckles]

H-- hi, Rosie!

Hi!

Hi! Oh, my God!

- [laughing] I'm so happy. - [Sol] Oh, my goodness.

So, this year, instead of buying each other Christmas presents,

we decided to do what we love most, which is travel.

So, where to first? Nice ocean bungalow in Fiji

or, like, a tropic Hawaiian vacation?

No. We're freaking poor 'cause we're teachers,

so we're headed to Quebec to see the Ice Hotel.

I-- I'm excited!

We've been waiting at the border for so long,

I've turned into an old man. Oh, and you too.

- Yeah! I just wanna go to Canada... - [chuckles]

...and see my neighbors to the north!

[mimicking French accent] Wow! Look how beautiful!

Here we are at the Ice Hotel. Hôtel de Glace.

- [indistinct chatter] - Absolutely beautiful. Hey, Gigi.

Gigi, say... [in French] cheese!

[sighs deeply]

- [in English] This is incredible. - Mm-hmm.

Wish we could just drive everywhere.

- See everything. [laughs] - [in normal accent] Yeah.

Flying is for the birds.

- [horn honks in the distance] - We did it, Rosie. We did it!

We got an RV. [laughs]

Are you ready to go on adventures?

- [engine backfires] - [Gina screams]

[laughing] Wow! Look how good it looks in here!

We put so much work into this. Looks good. Yeah?

- "We," huh? - Look at the lamp shade I picked out.

- Pretty nice, right? Oh, jeez-- - [rattling]

[clicks tongue] Well, you'll fix that.

- Ow, shit! - [Gina sighs]

- So, when do you think we'll be done? - [sighs]

[creaking]

- [squeaking] - [whirring]

So, we are learning about national landmarks in class this week,

and I asked my students where in America they'd like to travel to,

and they all said Disney World or Universal at first, of course,

but then we broadened our horizons

and I got some pretty incredible answers.

Here is Henry's drawing of the Cadillac Ranch.

It's a real place in Amarillo, Texas,

with a bunch of cars, just half stuck in the ground.

[laughing] ...she wrote, um, "drowr."

This is, like, a big dresser, but there's actually

the world's largest chest of drawers in North Carolina.

It's my absolute favorite.

So, apparently Nicolas Cage has a giant pyramid tomb

in a New Orleans cemetery. This is true, I looked it up.

And, uh, how do these kids know this stuff?

They're kindergartners.

But... check this out.

Using some of my kids' suggestions

and after doing a little research of my own,

I have devised the most expeditious route

across the United States for our trip this summer!

- Wow, that's amazing! - [Gina gasps]

Sol, you weren't supposed to see this yet.

[chuckles] Holy cow, this is phenomenal!

- Man, you put a lot of work into this. - [Gina] Yeah, I know.

It was gonna be your birthday present.

[Sol] Oh, so does that mean I'm not getting a birthday present?

[Gina chuckles] No.

[Sol] This say Nicolas Cage pyramid?

[Sol chuckles]

[crickets chirping]

[loud creaking]

Okay! Let's go!

- [loud squeaking] - [gentle music]

[engine starts]

[birds chirping]

[Sol breathes deeply]

How is it only Wednesday?

Did we leave the garage door open?

- Oh, my God! - What?

- You do this, like, every day. - [sighs]

Although, now you got me second guessing if it went down or not.

I just worry about the baby.

- [grunts] - Uh, my mom was telling me

about these people that went on vacation,

and the cleaning lady stole the dog from the room.

[chuckles] That sounds like a story from one of your mom's soaps.

I'm just-- I'm asking her to drive by and check.

No! 'Cause then she's gonna go inside and find, like,

dust or crumbs or something and say that we live like animals.

[Gina chuckles]

All right. Come on, let's go.

[in Italian] Let's go, my love.

[in English] Ooh, you better stop that right now.

- [laughs] - [knocking]

- Seriously? In front of a school? - [Sol laughs]

[Benny] Shame on you!

- Disgraceful. - [laughs] Shut up!

[indistinct chatter in the distance]

Yeah, it was a wonderful weekend. I, I-- I had a great time,

- anyway. [chuckles] Thanks for the tip. - [woman] Glad you did.

- Good morning-- Good morning! - Good morning, ladies!

- How are we? - Morning!

- [gunshots] - [shouting]

Get in, get in!

Everybody, get down! Get down!

[shushes, speaks softly] Okay, everybody stay low, stay quiet.

We practiced this, remember?

[kids breathing shakily]

- [emergency alarm blaring] - [yelling]

[Sol] ...okay, it's okay, it's okay!

- [indistinct whispering] - [blaring continues]

[shushes]

[man on PA] Attention. Lockdown, lockdown.

Lock the doors. Stay away from the windows.

- [breathing shakily] - [woman] It's okay.

[shushes] It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

- It's the cops. The cops are here. - [girl crying]

It's okay, all right? Don't worry,

the cops are gonna save us.

[girl crying] I'm don't wanna die.

I want my mom.

[whispering] It's okay, it's okay.

It's gonna be all right.

[blaring continues]

- [cell phone ringing] - [whispers] Guys! Turn off your phones!

Put 'em on silent! Hide your screens, we need to be invisible!

[officer 1 shouting in the distance] Drop it! Get down!

- [gunshot] - [yells]

[Sol] It's okay! Cops are here.

Cops are here.

[shushes]

- [officer 2] Mr. Queda! - [Sol] Hands up, guys, hands up!

- ...this way. - Come on, guys. Come on. Come on.

Come on, come, come!

[indistinct chatter]

[siren blaring in the distance]

Come on. Guys, guys! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Go, go-- come back, come back, come back, c--

Come on, we gotta stick together, we gotta stick together.

Good, good.

- It's good. See, the cops are here. - [girl] I lost my glasses--

It's all-- it's all right, we'll find them, we'll find them.

- [woman] We'll find them. - [indistinct chatter]

- [Sol] You see Gina? - No one-- No, no, I haven't.

- [students crying] - I'll be right back.

G-- uh, Mrs. Queda's class, you see Mrs. Queda's class?

- No, I haven't. - [man] I haven't, I haven't.

- [indistinct chatter] - [blaring continues]

- No, I haven't seen her. - [man] I haven't seen her.

- I don't know where she is. - [Sol] No?

[woman] Uh--

[softly] Oh, my God.

Oh, my God! [speaks indistinctly]

- [melancholic music] - [horn honks]

[engine rumbling]

- [officer 2] Sir, please. - N-- Gina!

- That's my wife, man, that's my wife! - [officer 2] Sir--

Sir, they're doing everything they can.

You need to get back and let them work.

- [Sol] Look, stop. Please! - [officer 2] Sir, please.

[Sol] Stop it! [screaming] God!

- [crying indistinctly] - [radio chimes]

- No-- - [officer 3] Get him out of here!

[Sol] No! Gina!

[muted]

- [water lapping] - [crickets chirping]

[elk bugling in the distance]

[loud bugling]

[indistinct chatter]

All right, guys. Hey, everybody, um,

- settle down. Settle. - [laughing]

- [boy] Hey-- - Guys, take your seats.

- All right. - [indistinct chatter]

So, uh... [exhales deeply] let's talk.

So, last week of school,

is there any questions you guys have?

I mean, maybe there's something that you wish

that we further expanded on during the year?

Honestly, anything at all.

I mean, we're finally free of the standardized curriculum.

Is there something you wish that we could, uh, further explore?

So, why'd that kid kill your wife?

My dad says you're one of those people who wanna give

all of our guns to our government now.

Get out.

You wanna write a principal's note?

I don't care where you go, just leave.

[inhales sharply]

[door opens]

[door closes]

You know, I watched a video about bats the other night.

You guys wanna learn about bats?

[chuckling] I had no idea how many species there were.

They're fascinating creatures.

Let's check it out. What do you guys say?

[students] Mm-hmm.

[somber music]

[indistinct chatter]

[crying]

- Can you believe this shit? - What happened?

They're trying to force some of the older faculty

into early retirement. Mr. Grady only had five more years.

He could've retired with a full pension.

Can they do that? Where the hell is our union?

What union? It's a joke! Nobody cares about us.

Even if we were organized, what can we do?

It's not like we can legally strike in this state.

Let's face it, if we go,

they'll just post our jobs the next day.

[crying continues]

- Michelle! - What?

Oh-- oh! Oh, I h-- Oh! Oh.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Thank you for coming out today.

It certainly has been a long year.

We've been through a lot.

I guess I'll just get right into it.

I'm sure many of you are aware by now that last night,

the community voted in favor of a merger

between Hunter Elementary and Remington Elementary.

It's been a long time coming.

However, this change is a good change.

It has strengthened bonds,

saved jobs, and balanced the budget.

Change is good.

Major shifts already began to take place,

and throughout the summer, it will continue.

So for that, we ask all faculty and staff

begin to start packing their rooms

- in preparation-- - What? We're changing rooms?

Why don't the Hunter teachers do all the moving around?

They're moving too, not just us. And for that,

we've acquired a generous amount of boxes.

- [indistinct clamoring] - [man] Boxes--

[Benny] Please, please, everyone.

- Please let me finish. - Guys, will you let him finish?

Listen to him now. Of course he's not worried about losing his job.

- What the hell did you just say? - [Benny] People, please! Please!

If you don't think this man feels exactly as we all do, then you're dead wrong.

Yeah, all of us, Mark, you shithead.

One school only needs one principal.

Yes, this is true. I may not be with you next year.

However, the changes that are being made protects your job

and prevents you from having to teach in a classroom filled with 30 or 40 kids.

No one said it was gonna be easy,

but we will push through and get through this together.

Now, if I may continue.

Mr. Toppan. What can I do for you guys?

Hi, I'm Zachary's mother, Jane.

- Your name is Jane Toppan? - Yes. Why?

Oh, 'cause-- Uh, never mind. Here, have a seat.

[rattling]

I'm, uh, here to talk about the grades that you gave Zachary on his...

...last report card.

Well, they're not the grades that I gave Zach,

they're the grades that he earned.

[chuckles] Well, here's the thing.

Zachary's starting football this summer,

and the coach refuses to give any of the kids playing time

- without a C average. - [Sol] Yes, ma'am.

- Well, I don't agree with that. - Oh, me either.

I think they should at least have a B minus.

[chuckles]

I really don't think it's fair to hold these kids

to such standards this year,

considering the tragedy they all went through.

[sighs, softly] Unbelievable.

Excuse me?

[sighs] Mrs. Toppan, Zach wasn't even here that day.

Well, there's no attendance record to reflect that,

how can you be so sure?

Because I remember everything that happened that day.

Well, it was a horrible thing that happened, and,

and we've suffered just as much as anybody else.

I assure you, ma'am, you have not.

Mom, this is Mr. Queda, you know?

Oh. Um--

I'm sorry. I-- I, I didn't realize.

Of course not. How could you?

This is the final week of the school year, and despite my many efforts,

this is the first time that you and I have met.

- Well, I am a single mother. - [Sol] Yes, ma'am.

We live in a very disenfranchised area,

and many of my kids come from broken homes and hardships.

But astonishingly, Zach is the only student in my class

who has completely failed.

Oh! [chuckling] So that's my fault?

Well, yeah.

How dare you!

Mrs. Toppan, I have reached out to both you

and Zach's father on many occasions.

I've called, I've emailed, I've texted,

I've sent letters home addressing all of my concerns.

You say that you care about your son's education,

but I'm sorry, that just does not ring true.

Who the hell do you think you are?

[sighs] I'm just a teacher,

and I've done everything that I can, but my influence ends

as soon as that bell rings.

Yeah, well, don't flatter yourself.

Playing videos is not teaching.

Vampire bats?

It's not even real.

[softly chuckles]

You told your mom about vampire bats?

You tell her how they got their name?

Go ahead.

[grunts] Well, it's not like they bite people on the neck

or anything like that.

They come out at night and go after sleeping horses and cows.

They fly on to their backs, or-- and this part's really neat!

They crawl to them and, like, suck out all their blood and everything.

It's the only thing they eat. Blood.

It's called hema--

hema-- hemataphy!

Hematophagy.

Yeah, it's a tough word.

[sighs] I stand corrected.

Mrs. Toppan, Zach isn't ignorant.

He's not learning disabled.

And he's not scared. He's lazy.

There are consequences for our actions, young man,

or in this case, your inaction.

I don't-- [sighs] I can't grade what I don't have.

If he would've just turned in a piece of paper

with nothing more than his name at the top of it,

I would've given him something.

Believe me, I've been more than lenient this year.

But the average of zero is zero.

Now, it's far too late to do anything about your grades this year,

but there's still time to enroll in summer school,

and we've got plenty of time before preseason practice even starts.

If you can apply yourself in summer school...

- [rustling] - ...and write me a 2000-word essay

on vampire bats, I will speak to Coach Mike

- about letting you play. - 2000 words?

Hey, you want something? You gotta earn it, papá.

Show me and Coach Mike that you deserve it.

Zachary, say thank you.

- Zachary, say thank you. - Thank you, Mr. Queda.

You're welcome.

Oh, and this one's for you.

You should definitely check out the chapter about Jolly Jane.

[Jane] Oh. Thank you.

[man on radio chuckles] What a day, huh? Sunshine, 78 degrees.

[chuckles] Well done, Mother Nature.

You really couldn't ask for better.

Especially for those of you

who just slam the locker shut

for the last time this year.

That's right, school is out, and my friends, that means

the good times are in.

We've got your chance to win water safari tickets

- coming up in just a f-- - [engine turns off]

- [whirring and rattling] - [beeping]

- [crickets chirping] - [sighs]

- [door creaking] - Hi!

Oh, my goodness! Hi!

Oh. [kisses] Thank you.

[sighs, kisses]

Oh, Rosie!

What are we gonna do with all this stuff?

[sighs] You hungry? Come on.

- [Rosie whimpers] - [chuckling] Oh.

[mom in Spanish] It seems to be the perfect sign to me.

These things happen in groups of three, Son.

[in English] No, no, no.

[in Spanish] I don't know why you keep stay there.

Have you looked for other jobs around here?

I like it here, Mom!

And who says it's any better over there?

They should be kissing your feet in that damn place.

You shouldn't even be working, at all.

They should compensate you for your loss.

This was my choice.

There's nothing left for you there. Come back home!

[chuckles] It's not that easy, Mom! I have a life here.

- A house, a job-- - These are just excuses!

Your dad and I can go help you.

Stop it, please! Leave it!

You went there because of Gina, but you're not together anymore.

Why do you want to stay?

[in English] Mom, will you stop?

You're acting like I got a divorce or she left me,

and I need to move on! Enough!

I know, mijo. I-- I just wanna take care of you, I miss you!

I just wish I could rewind back to when you were a little boy.

[softly] Yeah-- [in normal voice] I know.

- I-- - [cell phone buzzing]

Oh. Hey, Mom, I'm-- I'm sorry, lemme call you back.

I, I gotta get this phone call, it's, it's really important.

- Okay. Love you, my baby. - I, I know, I love you too. Bye-bye.

Hey, what's up, man?

Hey, not much, man. What are you doing?

Nothing, just talking to my mom.

- What's happening? - Nothing.

- Are you drunk? [laughs] - Shut up, fool.

Where is Cherri and the kids?

They're upstairs.

Oh, so you're just downstairs in your basement,

getting drunk by yourself like a weirdo?

Look. I have to tell you something.

Oh, no. Are they letting you go?

No. Actually, that's the good news.

You are now talking to the new principal

of the newly founded East Valley Academy.

Oh, thank God, that's great!

- East Valley Academy, huh? - [chuckles] Yeah.

They're trying to add some prestige,

so we're having a meeting next week about the mascot.

Hmm. How about the "East Valley Eagles"?

Shit. Lemme write that down.

It's pretty good, right? [chuckles]

It's a hell of a lot better than the Roadrunners,

that shit didn't even make sense.

There's no roadrunners up here,

yet there are plenty of coyotes.

Like, they were that close, and they just missed it.

- So what's the bad news? - Huh?

You said, "No, that's the good news." So what's the bad news?

Ew. You're not having another kid, are you? [laughs]

You're funny.

[water running]

Jesus, Benny, what's going on?

Wait. Am I losing my job?

No. I said no one else will lose their job

and I meant that. But...

...there is major changes coming.

And, um...

...and you won't be teaching the fifth grade anymore.

[sighs] All right.

Shit.

So what? Am I moving down to second?

- Taking over for O'Grady? - No.

Oh. Going higher up? You put me in sixth?

[gasps] Oh, my God, can you please give me

the same exact class that I had this year?

Oh, that would be the best prank ever!

Could you imagine the look on their faces? [laughs]

You're going to kindergarten.

- What? - I'm sorry.

It's the only thing that works to keep everyone employed.

Sol?

Sol?

[inhales deeply]

[clack]

[Cherri in the distance] Evening, Sol! Come in!

[continues indistinctly]

- [door opens] - [softly] Oh, shit!

Damn!

- [loudly] What the fuck? - Bath time!

You giving me Gina's job?

I'm sorry. It's the only way this works, all right?

Michelle and Eric, they're certified to teach higher grades,

so I can move them up to middle school.

Julie is certified to teach special ed.

That leaves one open space.

I also gotta think about the Hunter teachers coming in

that have seniority over you.

You're certified to teach K through sixth,

this is the only way this works. I tried everything!

[softly] This can't be happening.

[breathes shakily]

Do you know how screwed up this is?

[sighs] Look, man.

Sol, I'm sorry, man, I tried!

I tried hard! There's nothing I can do

to make sure everyone keeps their job.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry, man!

- [breathes deeply] - [cell phone ringing]

I don't know what else to do, man.

And that makes three.

[Benny sighs deeply]

[Benny] Sol?

- [whimsical, suspenseful music] - [birds chirping]

[whimpering and barking]

[groans]

[groaning] Oh, come on, dude! Hey.

It's summer, we don't have to get up early anymore!

Come on, let's just sleep today. Come--

come on, come back to bed. Come here. [clicks tongue, sniffs]

- [barks] - [grunts]

[sighs and groans]

Really?

Oh, God, Rosie!

I swear to Christ, if you were capable of feeding yourself, I--

[Rosie barks]

Yeah, you're right, I won't even finish the thought.

All right, come on.

Whoa! Did someone go poop in here?

Oh, my goodness. Ugh!

Rosie! [groans]

[toilet flushing]

That turd is as big as you are!

You need a new pad. Come on, let's get a treat!

[rattling]

[groans]

- [barking] - [thud]

[sighs] You ate that already?

Jeez, you gotta chew, dude! Stop eating like a duck.

[barking]

What do you wanna go outside for?

- You already pooped. - [continues barking]

- [cell phone chimes] - What the hell is this?

Oh, I am not going to this. I'm not going to this.

- [barking and growling] - [line ringing]

R-- will you just let me be a miserable piece of shit today?

- [Joe] Hey, what's up, Sol? - [softly] Oh, shit.

Uh, hey!

- What's going on? - Just about to start getting ready here.

So all that stuff's still going on today, huh?

Yeah.

Uh, y-- do you still need me there?

[softly] Dude, you--

Dude, you cannot bail on my kid's baptism.

All right? You're the freaking godfather, for crying out loud.

Okay. Yeah, you're right. I'm, I'm sorry, I--

It's really not that formal, okay? It's just gonna be

a couple of my family members and us.

- That's it. - Do I need to bring anything?

No! No, just-- just show up, okay? A-- and don't text me in an hour

with some lame excuse for not being there, okay?

- This is important. - All right! Jeez!

Sorry. Sorry, just--

Erica's been crazy about this all week, so you know how it is.

- Shit. I-- I'm so sorry. I didn't-- - I'm gonna go.

I'll see you soon. [sighs]

You think you're funny, don't you, you little jerk?

[sighs]

All right, come on, let's get ready.

[barks]

[holy music playing]

- [Joe] Dude! - Uh, well, you said

this wasn't gonna be that formal!

[Joe] Yeah, not that formal. It's somewhat formal. Why the hell--

[softly] Why the hell do you have your dog with you?

- Well, I don't know, man, I just-- - No wonder you've never been

- to one of these! - No! I-- I was baptized in a lake

by a guy dressed like a caballero.

Whatever. Fine. Just-- Come on.

Look, can we do something about the dog?

Oh, I don't know, man. She's, she's pretty chill where she is.

You gotta hold Nicky while Father McNamara gives the sacrament.

- [inhales deeply] Oh, okay. - We'll take her!

[mumbles]

[Sol] Oh, lemme see your hands. Lemme see your hands.

Ew! Not you. Go wash your hands.

- Sol! You can't tell the kids... - [Sol] What?

...that only some of them can pet her.

The hell I can't. We just took a bath.

You know how hard she makes grooming?

"We"?

- Just put this on. - Oh.

Okay, so, um, now what?

[sighing]

What, Erica?

Could you at least pretend to care?

I'm sorry, were there study materials I was supposed to review?

- That's not the point! - Well, what is the point, then?

Why am I here?

- It's Gina you wanted, not me! - Guys, come on.

Yo-- why-- why don't you just pick someone else?

- I'm not even Catholic! - Doesn't even matter.

- Uh, yeah, actually it does. - [softly] It does?

- You don't even know? - It's fine. Forget it.

Jen's husband, Rob, would be more than happy to step in.

You already had someone else?

Wha-- what was the point of all this?

We were just trying to do the right thing here.

By who? Not by him!

Something happens to the two of you, and he ends up with me?

With me?

Well, he-- he'd probably end up

with Erica's parents, but--

Nope. No, you're right.

Here.

[sighs] Come, Rosie.

[engine rumbling]

[sighs]

[sighing] Oh! I don't know.

Should I feel bad?

[crickets chirping]

Rosie.

[gentle music]

[sighs deeply]

[unzipping]

[clinking]

Hey! I think the plates came.

- [clinking] - Oh, yeah?

Yeah!

- [Sol grunts] - Hey. [gasps]

Hannah.

- That's her name! Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - Ah. She is a Hannah!

I could totally see her.

Wide hips, long hair in the middle part,

freckles, walking through a field on a sunny day. No bra.

Big old titties bouncing a little with each step.

Mm. We still talking about the RV?

[laughs] Hey, I would know. I was just looking up under her skirt.

[laughing] You're gross.

Oh.

Except you're, like, kinda spot on.

[laughs] I know, right? [grunts]

It's like, she doesn't like to smoke weed,

- but she'll eat it every now and again. - [laughs]

She'd definitely never go through with it,

but there is a small part of her that's curious about girls.

Yeah, she wears, like, a big brown vintage belt

- with almost every outfit. - [laughs]

Her favorite drink is cream soda, but she calls it pop.

- [laughs] Yes. - [laughing]

[music continues]

[breathes deeply]

[crickets chirping]

All right. Come on, you little brat.

Go make yourself useful. Go find some mice.

[grunts]

[exhales deeply]

[bird screeching in the distance]

- [squeaking] - [sighs]

[keys clinking]

[breathes deeply]

Well, Rosie Bear, looks like we got some work to do.

Oh, my God! Since when?

[man] You-- you're gonna-- All right. So you're gonna actually need

a, a, a long socket wrench in order to get this.

My cousin Darrell took mine. It's, like, he takes everything.

My wife included. Now it's, it's gonna be...

[sighs] it's gonna be ba-- back here.

- [grunts] Come on now. Come on-- come on. - [Sol] What the hell is that?

All right. Yeah, so it's gon--

Uh, I th-- I think I got that in focus--

Oh, you think it's on the other side?

- ...socket, uh, uh, bull. - [softly] All right.

- There. Now-- [continues indistinctly] - Oh. All right.

- So what? You the expert now? - [man groans]

- You don't even have thumbs. - [man groans] Come on!

Jeez, Hannah s-- sounds like she's running pretty well!

Yeah, I think we're gonna be ready to go. Rosie!

- Rosita! Oh! - Come say "hi" to grandma.

- [both laughing] - Hi! I missed you, stinky.

- [laughs] Oh! She loves her grandma. - Oh. Oh.

[laughs] I'm sorry that we haven't been around lately.

[birds chirping]

I know.

Sounds like you're planning a trip.

Uh, yep.

Where to?

We're gonna follow Gina's route.

[chuckles] Oh! It's quite an adventure.

- Hmm. - Are you sure Hannah's up to the task?

Yeah, I think so. She feels pretty tip-top.

[both chuckling]

Hmm. [grunts]

You know, why don't you leave Rosie with me?

I mean, then you could go on all those crazy adventures

that the two of you talked about, you know?

And you don't have to worry about the baby.

That's, that's okay. She'll be fine.

Well, you can't leave her in there.

What if you wanna go somewhere where they don't allow dogs?

Well, then I, I just won't go to those places.

I don't mind, Sol.

[sighs] I really appreciate it, but--

But?

You're not coming back.

I can't.

I can't.

It's okay. It's okay.

Awesome.

Okay. So it's either the alternator or the battery.

We got a full tank of gas and a few hours to go.

It's a good chance if I turn this engine off,

it's not gonna turn back on again.

So let's hit it.

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no! Rosie, just hold on, baby!

- [Sol] Hey, Jamie! - Hello, Mr. Q.

Hi, Rosie! The auto parts store dropped this off for you.

Oh, sweet!

Well, looks like I got my afternoon planned.

Why don't you just take it to a mechanic?

[Sol] Why pay somebody for something you could do yourself?

You know how to do that stuff?

- Uh, I've learned. [chuckles] - [chuckling] Cool.

Would you like to help me with this?

- Really? - [Sol] Yeah, why not?

I'll show you the power of the 454, brother.

[laughs] Um, I can't, sorry.

I've got too much work to do.

- Where is everybody? - [Jamie] What do you mean?

Like, I haven't seen another employee since I've been here.

You can't be running this place by yourself.

- Where are all the adults? - My dad's around.

Did I do something wrong?

No, of course not! You've been great. I-- it's just--

I don't know, you're so young, and--

[mumbles] Never mind.

I better get to it. Thanks.

[static]

[snoring]

[rattling]

[Sol softly] Get in here.

- [Rosie barks] - [Jamie] Sorry, I didn't mean to.

No, Jamie! Just perfect timing. I could really

- use your help with this thing. - [Rosie barking]

Cállate, Rosie. Come on in.

You got small hands, help me out with this.

Go and have a seat.

All right, here's what we're gonna do.

I'm gonna take this big metal rod here.

Gonna put it right in here, I'm gonna use this point

right there as a fulcrum.

So-- all right, go ahead and pull our lever into place.

- Go ahead and pull it toward you. - Okay.

- [Jamie grunting] - That's it.

As hard as you can, you're not gonna break it.

[soft rattling]

All right. All right, let go.

[sighs loudly] Yeah, I think we got it!

Awesome! That'll work! Good job!

- What did we just do? - [Sol] We just changed an alternator.

So, when the engine starts, it turns this main pulley here,

which then turns the pulley on the alternator

by way of this little rubber belt,

which then powers the battery through this wire here.

Oh, gotta tighten that.

Will you tighten that for me? Go ahead. Yeah, right in there.

Yep.

Perfect. That'll do it.

That little tiny wire runs right into the battery,

which starts the engine. Go ahead and start her up.

- Me? - No, Rosie.

Yeah, of course you! Go on. Keys are in it.

[engine starts]

Yeah! Give it some gas!

- [engine revving] - [Sol cheering]

All right. Kill it.

- [engine turns off] - [laughs] Awesome! Good work!

- We did it! - Now what?

[clicks tongue] So, now Rosie and I run this old alternator

back to the parts store,

and then we move on to our next destination.

- Th-- that's it? - [Sol] That's it.

Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.

Lemme pay you back. I'll buy you a burger while I'm in town.

- Nah, that's okay, I-- - [cell phone ringing]

I've gotta work all day while my dad just sleeps.

So, what's wrong with your dad?

No.

Ever since my mom left, he just does nothing.

He's on-- is he taking anything?

- Is he, like, on pills or drugs? - I don't think so.

You two don't talk much, huh?

There's never a time to. He's always asleep.

All right. It's okay.

[Sol sighs]

Come here.

[Jamie] She's so soft.

- [rattling] - [rustling]

It's an awful lot of weight for the shoulders of someone so young.

Here. This should still be warm.

There. I'll take her. You eat.

Thank you.

[Sol sighs]

[crickets chirping]

There's a way out, but this ain't it.

Your dad, he doesn't sound like a bad guy.

Although it does seem like he's dealing

with some serious manic depression issues

that he should probably seek help for.

But I bet he truly cares about you.

No, he doesn't.

I bet the farm you're wrong.

That being said, there is one person

that you're gonna be able to rely on for a really long time,

and that's yourself.

The way out is to keep your head down and study hard,

whether it be in school or through a trade.

That's your answer? School?

Look, I get it.

School sucks, and college is expensive,

it's not for everybody.

But there's a l-- high schools that offer

really great vocational programs now.

You could become an apprentice in less than a year

and start making bank before you even graduate.

Then you get to start your own business

and you get to tell everybody else what to do.

[scoffs] Get real, Mr. Q. Like I could start my own business.

Dude, you already run your own business!

You're way ahead of the game!

You know what those white-collar kids do in NYC

at their fancy internships?

They make coffee and they run errands.

I make coffee and run errands.

Come on, you know what I mean!

Rosie loves french fries.

Don't you? [chuckles softly]

But if I give her this fry,

the grease is gonna give her a horrible pancreatitis

and it's gonna wreck her digestive system.

Poor thing could be sick for days.

But I love her so much.

And I just want her to be happy.

But by giving her this fry, I'm not showing her love

because I'm hurting her.

The point is,

sometimes the things that we really want,

they're not the things that we need.

[breathes deeply]

This thing that you hate so much,

it's gonna be your ticket out of here.

And you're not gonna have to try to run away or escape,

because you're gonna be able to walk out

with your head held high and never look back.

And maybe it's not worth more than a burger and fry,

but I believe in you.

Thank you.

I-- I'm sorry for sneaking

into your RV and stowing away.

[sighing] Yeah. I did a lot of dumb stuff when I was your age.

Well, God, nothing this crazy.

How old are you, anyway?

Almost 15.

Jesus Christ, let's get you home.

[crickets chirping]

Hey, Jamie, why don't you step inside and lemme have a word with your dad?

Okay.

M-- I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything. Just listen.

You need to get your shit together. Starting tomorrow,

you need to find whatever therapist you need

that's gonna listen to you cry and prescribe you

however many handfuls of Zoloft or Prozac you need

to shove down your throat to make you a parent again.

- Hey, I don't need this. - It's not about you, man!

It's about that kid in there! You have a brilliant,

reckless child that is just desperate for guidance and support.

Hey, don't look at your shoes! Look at me!

Jamie is capable of brilliant things,

if you would just pretend to give a shit.

And if you can't do it for her, then do it for yourself,

- because I will be back to check in. - Are you threatening me?

[chuckles] Oh-- no, sir. No, sir. That's a promise.

I'm real good at keeping my promises. How about you?

My name is Sol. I'm your kid's new tutor.

Bye, Jamie! I'll talk to you next week!

Bye, Mr. Q! Thanks for everything!

[grunts softly]

Hi.

It's me, Sol.

Gina's husband.

It occurs to me that...

...many of you don't know what happened.

A few months ago,

a kid entered the school where Gina and I work as teachers together with...

[crying] with a gun.

[crying and sobbing]

He opened fire near Gina's classroom, she--

[cries]

She was so brave.

[sobbing] She protected her kids.

And bec-- and because of her efforts...

...no one else was hurt that day.

She-- she died. [sobbing]

My-- [crying] my poor, sweet girl, she's--

[sniffles]

I'm just so lost. I don't know what to do anymore.

I didn't even plan this trip, she did.

[crying continues]

And the truth is...

...Gina saved me a long time ago.

Witnessing her-- her caring for others is-- her passion,

it's, it's infectious.

[sniffles and cries]

But we work in a field where we're handcuffed for d--

from doing what's best

for a society that-- that doesn't appreciate us,

and entitled parents that blame us for their shortcomings,

in a system that's completely failed us.

And still...

[sobbing] no matter what they threw at us, she'd just keep pushing forward.

"It's all for the kids," she'd say.

And that's all that mattered.

[sniffles] And sadly,

I think if she had survived, she'd still believe that.

But I don't.

I want to, but I can't.

She gave her life for those kids, and they killed her!

They killed her! [sobbing]

They killed both of us.

'Cause I died that day too.

[crying continues]

I just-- I don't know if I can do this anymore.

- [chimes] - [rattling]

Jamie?

- What's up? [sniffles] - I-- I'm sorry. I can call back.

No. What's the matter? What do you want?

- Are you sure? - No. It's fine.

Do you know anything about Ohm's law?

Do I know about what?

It's like a mathematical equation.

- I'm having a real hard time... - [sighs]

- ...understanding it. - You know,

if only there was this thing

that you could type in whatever question you have,

and it would just spit out a million different answers

or references for you to study.

- Yeah! - Yeah, yeah.

And what if they put that thing on a little rectangle

that you could carry around in your pocket?

- That would be cool. - Yeah, yeah, pretty cool, right?

- Yeah. - It's the Internet, Jamie.

I'm talking about Google.

I mean, yeah, I did, but--

No, I-- I'm just being shitty. I'm sorry.

[sniffles softly] Hold on, give me a minute.

[grunts] All right, let's have a look. [sighs]

Well, we had power outage issues last week.

- Uh-huh. - And I kind of shadowed

the electrician while he worked.

And you were right. It's actually really interesting!

- Yeah? That's awesome! - Yeah. I'd like to learn more

'cause I guess our setup is really old,

and it would be a good idea to look into upgrading it,

because we could potentially fry people's setups

- if they don't have surge protectors. - [laughs]

- Jeez, now you tell me. [chuckles] - Yeah. Sorry.

- All right, let's see. "Ohm's law." - [keyboard clacking]

Oh, this is interesting.

- It looks, uh, pretty electrifying, huh? - [laughs]

- Huh? - Dude, are you kidding me?

- You gotta stop with the dad jokes, Mr. Q. - [Sol laughs]

What?

Well, it's just-- like, we just got rid of him.

- Jon. - What?

He knows I'm joking. Come here. [mumbles, kisses]

[mom] Oh, stop kissing her like that, that's gross.

Uh-oh, she's jealous of you. Look at her, she's jealous.

All right. What's going on?

[sighs] They want me to teach Gina's class.

Like, the, the merger between the two schools went through,

and now they want me to move down to kindergarten.

Can you believe it?

That's bad?

Yes, of course it is!

They want me to go back and teach my dead wife's class

in the room that she died in!

- Oh. - Yeah, that's bad.

[music continues]

Mijo, they wouldn't have asked you to do it

if they didn't have the faith and confidence

that you could do a good job.

No, it's not that. It's-- it has to do with all the seniority

and placement bullshit.

My principal says it's the only way that we all keep our jobs.

Oh, yeah, you can't argue with that.

You know what? Screw that, man.

Why don't you use the Indian card?

Yeah, just, just say it's against your religious beliefs

- or something like that. - Ay, don't be stupid.

Well, they'll never know.

You know, nobody even knows I'm mestizo up there.

What do they think you are?

With the name "Solomon Queda"? [laughs]

I live in upstate New York.

If your name ends with a vowel, they just assume you're Italian.

[softly] Ay.

Yeah, well, you can blame... [grunting] for that one...

- Ugh. - ...when she was all in her biblical phase.

- [mom] Oh, hush your mouth. - [Jon] Well, it's true.

- Yes. - [laughs]

You two are annoyingly happy.

How'd you end up together, anyway?

[mom speaks inaudibly]

- Opposites attract. - Ah! You know, back then,

chicks really dug if they thought you were the last of something.

[laughter]

- You're ridiculous. - He's not wrong.

[both laugh]

You can't tell me you didn't use that on your lady.

- Come on. [laughs] - [inhales deeply]

[gentle, pensive music]

Will you stop stressing? You're gonna get the job,

and it's gonna be so great,

we get to work at the same school. [gasps]

We can have lunch together!

It's just-- I don't know if I wanna do this now.

What?

- What do you mean? - [scoffs]

Baby, listen to yourself.

Talking about having lunch together?

You don't even have time to eat during the day.

That's why we have dinner before 5:00 p.m.,

like a couple of old folks.

Look, I'm not trying to be mean. It's just--

I see what you put up with, and I see the way they treat you,

all the long hours, the extra work during the summer.

They treat you like shit!

- [wind blowing] - [leaves rustling]

- You don't get it yet. - I know, I know, it's all about the kids.

No. I mean, yes.

[chuckles] But no. It's...

...it's more than that. [mumbling] Uh, you can--

[clears throat] Just wait until you see their faces light up

when they learn something new.

Or when they cry because they have to go home.

Or when they accidentally call you "mom." [chuckles]

I mean, yeah, we, we don't get paid enough

and our efforts go unrecognized,

but nobody cares about these poor kids either.

You know? We get to make a difference.

I get to be there for them,

and... when you get to witness that change happen,

it's the best feeling in the world.

[gentle music]

You're amazing.

I'm never gonna live up to you.

You're gonna be great.

And if you need anything, I'll be just down the hall.

[chuckles softly]

[light mysterious music]

You never told me the eagle found you.

[water lapping gently]

[gentle music]

Stop doubting yourself.

You know your path.

You know, the next day we got Rosie. [chuckles]

The eagle came to me

shortly after I started dating your mother.

That's when she told me that we were gonna have another roommate.

- He means you. - [laughs] Yeah, Ma, I get it.

[Jon] Your name is Sol, like the sun.

When you showed up... [chuckles]

...you brought so much light into our lives.

And you entrusted that light in Gina when she was alive.

Don't stop now.

[mom] I'm going to bed.

Mijo, I love you.

[sniffles] Goodnight. I love you too.

That is one tired woman. [laughs]

[loudly] Oh, God damn it! Why?

I just stopped thinking about it!

- Oh! - [laughs]

Yeah.

Oh, hey.

Yeah, this is cool.

I like this.

Oh!

Are these, like, places that you've been to?

- [Sol] Uh, yeah, most of them. - Wow.

- [Sol chuckles] - Oh, man.

Hey, what are the Oneida and Mohawk like?

I don't know.

Are you serious? You haven't made contact?

Jeez.

Don't you remember what your grandfather used to tell you?

"Stay out of my room"?

[chuckling softly] No.

[loudly] No.

You always look for human beings.

I mean, we're everywhere.

You know, some communities are harder to find than others,

but... when Natives meet,

their hearts recognize one another.

That's community.

You'll always have a home.

Hey, in this thing, I am always home. [laughs]

[chuckles softly]

All right.

[sighing] Listen,

try not to stay away so long this time.

You know, we really miss you.

- Yeah, okay, I won't. - All right, come here.

All right. Take care of my granddaughter.

[chuckles] I will.

[engine rumbling]

[light somber music]

[Gina] Smile, Rosie!

Look, we're headed for adventure. [chuckles]

See? Daddy's ready.

Oh, man! That's not working either.

Well, I'm just glad it stopped backfiring.

[Gina] Yeah, and I'm glad we found a vehicle big enough to fit all of us,

- and your hat. - [chuckles]

Why can't you just say you like my hat?

[Gina laughing] I love you.

[music increases]

[muted]

[music continues]

[muted]

[Rosie barks]

[continues barking]

[whimpers]

Yeah. Well said.

[engine rumbling]

- [Benny] Not this time! - [laughter]

I don't even know how to hold this!

- [laughter continues] - Oh, my God.

- [splashing] - Stop!

[indistinct chatter]

[engine rumbling]

[sighs] Thank God.

Oh, shit! Timeout!

- Wait! Timeout! What the-- - [Cherri laughing]

[crickets chirping]

You made it.

[sighing] Yeah.

Did you get to see the redwoods?

Nah, not this time.

"Not this time"?

So you're staying?

Yeah.

Oh, man.

That's great. It's awesome.

Will you go to the school with me?

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

Anything.

Thank you.

I got you.

- [wind blowing] - [bird chirping]

[indistinct chatter in the distance]

[keys clinking]

You all right, man?

[sighs]

[muted]

[inhales sharply]

[softly] It's--

It's just--

It's strange how, how I remember it so differently.

[muted]

That kid.

He died, right?

Yeah. Cop shot him.

What happened to his parents?

They moved. Rent dodgers. Bad people.

That's sad.

Hey, uh, look,

this is just the bigger room. But there's other rooms

we could go scout out if you want.

It's okay.

[inhales deeply]

I think I want to.

Hey, thanks for coming with me today.

Hey!

Me and Cherri, man, we-- we're here with you, we got your back!

- I appreciate it. - Nah, man, we appreciate you.

[crying and sniffling]

[grunts]

Hey, sorry.

Hey, this might seem like a weird question, but...

...are you Native?

- Native to New York? - [laughs]

- No, Native American. - Oh. [laughs]

What made you ask me that?

No one's never asked me that. I am.

- [chuckles] - But everyone thinks

- I'm just a Black guy. - [laughs]

Oh, it's just something my dad said.

Mm. You wanna start unpacking these boxes?

Yeah.

All right.

[indistinct chatter]

- All right, gang! How was lunch? - [all] Good.

[Sol laughing] Good!

All right, let's learn about some geography.

You know what time it is, right?

[all] "Hey, Rosie! Where'd you Gosie?"

[laughs] Good!

All right. Penelope, can you get the lights for me, sweetheart?

- [inspirational music] - Thank you!

Where do you think Rosie went this week, gang?

- She went to-- - [boy 1] Mount Rushmore!

[Sol] Mount Rushmore!

Oh, man! You guys don't wanna be a, a booger in Mount Rushmore?

- [kids] No. - [Sol] What if they paid you, like, $100?

- [girl 1] Yeah, I don't know-- - [boy 2] No.

- Still no. - [girl 1] I definitely--

- [Sol] No? - [boy 3] It, it, it feels-- $1000...

- [continues indistinctly] - [cross talk]

[Sol] Oh, o-- okay. Well, 100,000,

- that's-- that's your-- - [indistinct chatter]

- [girl 2] 100,000,000. - [Sol] 100,000,000! Wow!
