All language subtitles for John Asher - A Boy Called Po

- Po.

Hey, Po.

- Where's mommy?

Uh oh, it's dinnertime, daddy.

Come on.

- Po, Po, hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

- No, no!

- Soft touch bad,
hard touch good.

Come on, I got you.

- No, no!

- No, it's okay,
it's okay, yeah.

Okay, daddy's got you.

Yeah, yeah, daddy's got you.

- Daddy's got me.

- Shh, that's right,
daddy's got ya.

- Daddy's got me.

- Daddy's got ya.

Something funny?

- Daddy's a wrastler.

- Yeah, yeah, very funny.

- Watch out wrastler!

- Yeah, you want the wrastler?

You want the wrastler?

Take that, wrastler!

- It is the fifth straight
day of losses for the s&p 500.

That's the longest losing
streak in 13 months' time.

- Bloombergs is the
professional's choice.

Listen to Po.

- Po, I can't stay up all night.

You have to go to bed.

- Wall street journal.

- Record on
December 29, you see there

what crude oil is
doing right now,

still trading
below $50 a barrel,

and expanding those profits.

- Oh, this one's for later.

- Ew.

What did you do?

Oh, Po.

- It's the rainbow, dad.

- Why is it on the wall, Po?

- It's your rainbow.

- Okay, Po, new rule.

No food on the walls, okay?

No food on the walls.

All right, come on.

Let's go get some sponges
and clean this up.

- It's your rainbow.

Your rainbow, daddy.

- Hey, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

Come with me, come on.

Here you go.

- Autograph, please.

- Why are we doing
this everyday?

- Autograph, please.

- Well, I am honored
to be the sole member

of your autograph
collection, Po.

- Mac and cheese, please.

- No, we don't have Mac
and cheese today, buddy.

- Calcium's good for your bones.

- Yeah, well, this is
peanut butter and jelly

which is known for it's simplicity
and budgetary properties.

What happened to your face?

- Mac and cheese, please.

- No, Po, you have
to eat your sandwich.

No, I am not doing this today.

- Patrick's a nice
name for a boy,

but I think I'll call you Po.

- You need to eat your sandwich.

- Where's mommy?

- Fine, you don't wanna
eat it, I'll eat it.

Mm, mm, oh, what a delicious,

turns out dad makes a
mean Pb and j sandwich.

- Don't be afraid, daddy.

- Afraid of what, Po?

- Yuck!

- Yuck.

- Mac and cheese, please.

- The capital city
of Mississippi is?

Anyone?

Patrick.

Po?

Can you tell us what the
capital city of Mississippi is?

- Hey, spaceman, the teacher
asked you a question.

- Taylor, stop it.

- You know the answer,
don't you, Patrick?

- M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i.

- What an idiot.

- Stop it, Taylor.

You know the answer, don't you?

Po?

It's Jackson, isn't it?

So, the capital city
of Mississippi is?

- Jackson.

- Right, now can anybody tell me

the capital of Alabama?

- Good morning.

- Morning.

How we lookin'?

- Oh, we're great.

We've increased lift by 20%,

but she still won't
get off the ground.

- It's the weight
of the batteries.

It is just too heavy, now.

- Well we can't go any
bigger with the wing size.

We may need a new
design altogether.

- Maybe fewer seats.

- That's a deal-breaker,
it's a 90-passenger minimum.

- David, Randall
needs to speak with you

in his office right away.

- Yeah, I'll be right there.

Be right back.

- May I sit here?

Everything in the world
is not in these books,

but it's a start.

I'm on mollusk.

Shellfish, you know,
bottom feeders.

Oh, I'm Amelia, by the way.

Amelia Carr.

I've moved here all
the way from London

and I have two daddies.

Pleasure to make
your acquaintance.

Patrick, is it?

- Patrick is a nice
name for a boy,

but I think I'll call you Po.

- Hm, a nickname.

I'm not there yet, still on m.

I have an aunt Constance
who we call ac,

but that's more of an
acronym than a nickname.

- Hey!

I say you could sit down?

- Friends of yours?

- You need to ask my permission.

- I must tell you,

even though we're
just in sixth grade,

people will judge us
by the company we keep.

- I think the spaceman's
trying to fly away.

What's wrong with you, freak?

Look at you, you
won't even fight back.

I guess today's your lucky day.

- I think you handled
that very nicely.

Po, I do believe we are
going to get along famously.

- This plane is going to
change the game forever.

One month, you buy me one month,

and you'll see her
fly, I promise.

- All right, I'll
see what I can do.

But if you don't deliver,

I'll be forced to
scrap the project,

and you will be let go.

- I understand.

- Moving numbers.

- What's that buddy?

- Can you find the pattern?

- Po, get some sleep.

- Good night, daddy.

- Good night, buddy.

- Dancing numbers.

- You know what I just realized?

- What's that?

- You're the second
smartest person I know.

- All right, who's the first?

What if I can't do this, Ben?

All the promises I made?

They will dead cap this
entire program, and then what?

What am I gonna do?

We spent all of our
savings, and then some,

on Beth's medical bills.

I have Po's expenses, I,

this has to work.

- What about your in-laws?

- It's complicated.

- Look, if it comes to it,

I could loan you some.

- No, no, come on, I'll manage.

It's okay.

- What am I saying?

I'm broke anyway.

It's the thought that
counts though, right?

- Not as much as
some coffee would.

- On it.

- Hello?

- Hi, Mr. Wilson.

I have Patrick in the
nurse's office again.

I think you should
come and pick him up.

- Uh, yeah, yeah, thanks.

I'll be right there.

Hey, Cathy.

- Oh, hey, Mr. Wilson.

- Hey, Po.

How you doing, buddy?

How's that knee?

- Bat transmission received.

- Patrick, I've told you
not to play with that.

He's obsessed with it.

- Amelia Carr is
on the letter m.

M for mollusks.

- Okay, come here, come here.

Let's sit down.

We're gonna leave in
just a minute, sweetie.

- Amelia Carr and I
get along famously.

- Yeah.

- The principal wants
to see you, Mr. Wilson.

- Okay, here, Po hold this.

I will be right back.

- I'll be right back.

- Come on, he slipped
and fell while playing?

Someone pushed him.

- They're kids, at that
age they roughhouse.

We can't stop it all.

- How 'bout most?

Or just some?

- My concern is that he's
making himself a target.

- Making himself?

Okay, he's different.

- He's regressing.

Mr. Wilson,
Patrick's autism is...

- no, I know about his autism.

I know all about his autism.

I get all the reports.

I see the testing.

I pay for the therapy services.

I'm the one driving him
around the neighborhood

every night until
he falls asleep.

And you know what?

He won't even give me a hug.

My son won't give me a hug,

but that doesn't mean
I love him any less.

And all I'm asking of you is
that you don't give up on him.

- His language and communication,
his social behavior,

his responsiveness, he's
isolating himself more and more.

- All of which is
typical for a boy like Po

recovering from trauma.

- He isn't recovering,
he's getting worse.

And I'm quite concerned.

When we decided to
mainstream Patrick

he was in a very
different place.

Now, I think we need to consider
other schooling options.

- I've seen those other options.

You can forget it.

- The special ed program has
really improved recently,

especially working with
children like your son.

- He has been reading since
he was three years old.

He seems to understand
math concepts

that I struggled with
in graduate school.

He doesn't need
special education.

He just needs the
regular old education

that you're supposed
to be providing him.

- He can't stay here
like this, Mr. Wilson.

He's simply not thriving.

- Hey, Po.

Po, Po, hey, come
here for a second.

- Okay.

- Listen to me, it is not okay

for other kids to
pick on you at school.

So daddy's gonna teach you,

hey, Po, Po, hey buddy, with me.

Daddy's gonna teach you

how to stand up for
yourself, you understand?

- Stand up.

- That's right!

Okay, here, put
your hand in here.

Okay, oh, come here.

It's okay.

Hey, it's okay.

That goes in there, exactly.

Left hand, just like that.

Good.

- Red balloons.

- Okay, no, not red balloons,
not balloons, buddy.

Hey, look at me, look at me.

Right with me, okay.

Hands like this,
hands like this.

Nope, down, like
this, like this.

Hands like this.

Good, good, there we go.

Now, I want you to
hit daddy's hands.

Hit my hands.

- No thanks.

- Po.

Po.

Po.

Po, I'm just trying to help.

- Okay, daddy.

Quiet time.

- All right buddy.

Be careful with
your mom's scarf.

- Okay, bye daddy.

- Ahoy there, landlubber.

- Jack?

- The name is
captain long beard.

- You mean black beard.

- Right.

Well, yes.

I was wondering if you
could help me, please.

I, uh, well I can't
seem to remember

where I buried me treasure.

- Don't you have a map?

- A map, oh, that's
a great idea!

You're a smart one, Po.

- Po, dinnertime.

- I have to go.

See ya later.

- Bring me back some of them
noodles with the golden sauce.

- Po, Po, dinnertime.

- Mac and cheese, please.

- Come on.

- Ouchie, ouchie,
it hurts daddy.

- Come on, Po, come
on, you can do it.

Okay, okay.

I know, I know, just
try and relax, okay?

Breathe.

- Okay, ouch.

Patrick's a nice name for a boy,

but I think I'll call you Po.

- I know it sucks,
buddy, I know it sucks.

I know it does.

This is why daddy
tries to tell you

to eat your vegetables, honey.

- Where's mommy?

- Daddy's here, okay?

I'm here.

- Where's mommy?

And bench stocks took
another beating today.

They just can't seem to get out

of the crosshairs
of the regulators.

From the bailouts to the Libor
and the fx scandals to now,

cyber security breaches.

The real question out there
is, do we need banks at all?

It's truly only a matter of time

'til Google or apple
displaces them.

That's worth noting.

- All right, buddy.

Time for bed now.

- Amelia Carr is
on the letter m.

- Is Amelia a friend
of yours at school?

- She has two daddies.

- Oh yeah?

Well, you only have one daddy,

and he has to get back to work,

so bed.

- Did mommy get this for me?

- No, buddy.

Daddy bought this for mommy.

And it is very special.

- Don't be afraid, daddy.

- Afraid of what, Po?

- Wrastler.

- Goodnight, sweetie.

- Goodnight, daddy.

- Sleep tight, buddy.

More lift.

That's all there is to it.

- The musk ox, or
Ovibos Moschatus,

is quite unusual in that
both male and female members

of the species grow horns.

How magnificent.

- Magnificent.

- Turn around.

- Welcome to
the aquarium by the sea.

- I'm primarily opposed to
the caging of wild animals,

but if I was a fish, this
is the place I would pick.

We can be carnivores,
that is, eaters of meat,

and still treat animals with
general regard and dignity.

Don't you agree, Po?

- Let's put the
dummy in the tank.

- Taylor.

- I wouldn't call
myself an expert

though I am fairly well-read
on the subject of sharks

the Mako shark, to
be more specific.

Did you know that the Mako
shark is capable of swimming

at speeds of up to
40 miles per hour?

Most people have
a fear of sharks,

but they are more afraid
of us than we are them,

and for good reason.

Over 100 million sharks are
killed every year by humans.

- There you are.

Please don't wander away from
the rest of the class, okay?

- Okay.

- Not today.

- This is going to be the first

hybrid commercial
aircraft in the world.

It is good for the planet.

It is great for the airlines

who are going to save
hundreds of millions

in gallons of fuel.

- And how many gallons of
fuel is it going to save us

while it's sitting
on the ground?

- Well, technically, if
it's sitting on the ground

you're not using fuel at all.

- That's enough, Ben.

- My team and I are very close.

The batteries are efficient,

they're very heavy so we've
had to completely overhaul

traditional wing design
to reach our goals...

- which remains entirely
theoretical at this point.

- It's not theoretical,
it's innovative.

- I remember you telling me

you wanted this company to
be founded on innovation.

That's what I'm doing.

I just need more time.

- Two years ago, when we
engaged in this hybrid project,

we shared in your
confidence, Mr. Wilson.

But the truth is, at this
point, we are losing money.

The board is not unsympathetic

to what you've been
through recently,

however, we have
other considerations.

- Thank you, but
this plane will fly.

And when it does,

this company will be years
ahead of its competition.

- David, would you say
another 30 days would be fair

to continue with the project
to achieve our next milestone?

- I think...

- excuse me.

Mr. Wilson, it's a call
from your son's nanny.

Her car broke down and
she can't pick Po up

from sensory
integration therapy.

- Thank you, Peggy.

Don't go, I'm sure
he'll be all right

by himself for a while.

- I'm sorry, Randall,
I need to go.

We will continue this.

My apologies, everyone.

- Very good, all
right, now hold on.

- Daddy!

- Oh.
- Hey.

- Hi.

- Daddy, this is Amy.

- Hi.

- She's pretty.

- Oh, okay.

All right, well, we are
moving to the swing now.

- Wow, he really
likes this room.

- Is this your first
time at the center?

- Yeah, well, I've been
taking him to a lot

of therapy appointments, lately
but it's my first time here.

Not here in this center,
just here in this room.

- Right, got it.

- So, how does
all this help him?

It looks like a
playground in here.

- This is sensory integration.

So the human body is designed
to read its environment.

Your brain is constantly
receiving signals

from each and every one
of countless receptors

in and on your body.

So, imagine if your
clothing, like,

constantly felt itchy to you

would you be able to then
concentrate on your job?

Or, if you weren't
able to tune out sound

would you be able to
solve a math problem

while hearing your
neighbors arguing?

Without the ability to
reflexively manage the system

we would feel totally overwhelmed
and constantly lose focus.

Which is Po's struggle.

So here, we are
therapeutically training

his nervous system
to manage itself.

- Wow, thank you.

- For what?

- I just have been taking him

to all these
therapy appointments

and no one really takes
the time to explain to me

exactly how they're helping him.

- Well, honestly, feel free
to ask anything any time.

Po, you wanna do music?

- Music time.

- Yeah, would you
mind pressing play

on that little boom box?

- Oh, sure.

Oh, hey, you like
Billy idol, too?

- No, not me, that's
Po's favorite.

- Seriously?

- Do you wanna actually help?

You can push him on the swing

while I see if he can
catch some of these.

- Uh, yeah, sure, okay.

- Daddy's a wrastler.

- What's wrastler?

- I wrestled in high school.

His mom showed him
the picture once,

and I think it kinda stuck.

- Mm.

- Ready?

- All right, ready Po?

One, two, three.

Good job.

- Wow!

Fly daddy!

- Pretty cool, isn't it, Po?

- Spin, daddy, spin.

- Watch this, he's spinning.

- I can fly?

- I don't think so, it's
harder than it looks.

Barrel roll.

- Careful, daddy.

- I can fly.

Po can fly.

- Okay, okay, okay, now hold on.

Now, there we go.

Ready, put your thumbs on there.

Nice and easy, nice and easy.

- Okay, daddy.

- Good, Po, that's great.

All right, now pull
up just a little.

No, that's too hard, buddy, Po.

- It's broken.

- Yeah, it is.

Po can fly, huh?

- Maybe next time.

- Hello.

Yeah, no, I know how bad,

yes, Randall.

Yes, you know I would never.

Yes, yes, I will,
you know I will.

Yes, you know I will.

Yes.

Thank you, Randall.

Two weeks at,

Po, Po!

Freeze, freeze!

- That was a big ouchie.

- You are a very brave boy, Po.

Do you hear me?

Very brave.

- Wilson?

- Yeah.

- Bill haze, child
social services.

Can I have a word with
you outside, please?

- Uh, what do you
need to talk to me about?

- I think outside
would be better.

- Hey, Po, I'll be right back.

Stay here, okay?

Stay right here.

- Big ouchie.

- Okay,

let's forgo the bullshit speech

about me not being the enemy.

- Listen, I take
good care of my son.

- The
bruises, Mr. Wilson.

- What bruises?

- The attending physician
noted 17 separate

and aged bruises
on your son's body.

- All kids have accidents.

- No, actually that's not true.

- Well then, what're
you trying to say?

Are you telling me
that I hurt my son?

Because Po's not
like other kids, he...

- he has autism.

- Yes, and since his
mother died, especially,

he doesn't pay attention
to his surroundings,

so sometimes he has accidents.

- He gets hurt a lot.

- Sometimes, not because of me.

- Yeah, we've already
established that.

- Then why do I feel like
you don't believe me?

- Okay, we need the speech.

I get called in when
children get hurt.

I try to see those hurts
don't happen again.

I take this very seriously

'cause I've seen the
price of failure.

- Good.

- I'm not your enemy, I'm
your child's advocate.

By the way, that
should make us friends,

but it probably won't.

I don't make decisions
about anything.

I take notes and I
make recommendations.

I've studied very
hard to get here.

And I've mentored under
some of the best veterans

in my department.

And in that time I've
dealt with the cases

of more than 300 children.

Now, it's your legal
and god-given right

to disagree with me, but please,

don't ever tell me I
don't know my business.

- I didn't say you don't
know how to do your job.

I said I didn't hurt my son.

- Okay, David, I'll be in touch.

- Great.

- I don't get it.

- It's about loving yourself,

being confident, and enjoying
your life to the fullest.

- Wow, you got all
that from a song?

- Yep.

- Look what I invented.

Marshmallow,

Graham cracker,

chocolate.

I'm gonna be rich.

- Um, it's called
a S'more, Jack.

- Oh, that's perfect.

You're a genius, Po.

J-e-n-i-o-u-s.

- Jack, genius is
spelled g-e-n-i-u-s.

- Thank you
for that information.

- Two weeks left,
how're we doing?

- Could not be better.

- You wouldn't lie to
your boss, would you?

- Well, if I would,
I would lie to you,

and tell you that I wouldn't.

- Right.

- Two weeks.

- Yeah.

- Get out of my way, freak.

- Hey, Mr. Wilson.

- Hey, Amy, hi.

- Hi, they having a
sale on Mac and cheese?

- Uh, yes, yes.

It's for Patrick.

- You might wanna get him

to eat some Greens
once in a while.

- There's actually a website

that teaches you how
to get vegetables

inside your kid's Mac and
cheese without them noticing.

It's genius.

- Wow, I'm impressed.

- That's a lot of water.

- Oh, yeah, it's for
the kids at the center.

- Nice.

Do you need some help
getting it to your car?

- Yes, please.

- So, turns out, he'd memorized
the number to yellow cab,

he called himself a taxi,

he was halfway to Santa Monica
pier by the time I found him.

- Santa Monica pier, why?

- Well, probably
because his mom and I

used to take him
there all the time.

I'm sorry, does that
story sound a bit,

I mean, I do keep
a close eye on him.

I just...

- no, no, don't be so sensitive.

Po is a total character.

And also, a lot of
kids with autism

tend to run off for no reason.

- I just wish that I could
get inside his head sometimes,

you know, and see
what he's thinking.

- Yeah, yeah, me too.

- Oh, sorry.

Okay, I have to
relieve Po's nanny,

so I will see you you
sometime, I suppose.

You know, no, of course,

I'll see you at
occupational therapy.

- Do you wanna take
down my number?

- Okay.

- Here.

That's my cell.

- Smiley face, no one
does that anymore.

- I'm old school, so
feel free to call me anytime.

Bye, Mr. Wilson.

- David.

- Bye, David.

- Oh, it's a rainbow.

- Uh, where's your son's room?

- Uh, this way.

He's right in here.

- How often does he do that?

- Oh, every once in a while.

You know, it's
comforting to him.

- May I?

- Yeah, of course.

- Patrick.

Patrick.

- Po.

- Patrick's a nice
name for a boy,

but I think I'll call you Po.

- Well, hey, Po.

My name's bill.

- Okay, bill.

- So, what'd you eat
that made you so burpy?

- Mac and cheese.

- Po, tell him what
you had for lunch.

- Mac and cheese, please.

- No, no, buddy, you had
peanut butter and jelly.

- Yuck, no, thank you.

- He's being silly.

I mix vegetables into his
Mac and cheese all the time.

He has no idea.

- It's okay.

For what it's worth,

your burp smells just
like Mac and cheese.

Seven cheese Manicotti, mm-mm.

- Okay, bye bye, bill.

- This probably wasn't
the best day for us to...

- it never is.

- I just, I just mean the...

- listen, I'll be putting
in a recommendation

for dismissal of any
further investigation

into abuse and neglect
in this matter.

- That's great, thank you.

I appreciate that.

- That was the official part.

- Okay, what's,
what's the unofficial?

- There's a residential
treatment center in Calabasas,

state subsidized,
some federal grants.

I know the director quite well.

- I'm sorry, you want
me to put Po in a home?

Forget it.

- It's not a home.

It's a facility that
provides schooling

and applied behavioral care
for children with autism.

It's a more aggressive
stance, for sure,

but it might just
be what Po needs.

- Okay, I can handle
him here, thank you.

- What do intend to do if
your son continues to drift?

- Drift?

- He's moving
somewhere in his mind.

I've seen it before
with other children.

- We all drift in and
out sometimes, don't we?

- You and I do, yes,

and then we come back.

Some children, like Po,
drift and don't come back.

- I'm with Po every day.

I think I know
what's best for him.

- You're in a very unique
position, Mr. Wilson,

single dad, special needs son,

it's not very common.

I know we guys like
to convince ourselves

that there's glory in
the struggle, but...

- okay, you're right
about one thing.

- What's that, David?

- We are not going
to be friends.

- Where is he?

- Ooh, that was a close one.

- You're telling me.

- Come with me.

- Patrick, come out
and play with us.

We're not gonna hurt you.

We promise.

Come on, let's look over there.

We're gonna find you.

- Don't you just love it here?

- Of course I do.

- And if you want to Po,
you can live here forever.

- What do you mean?

- You'll see.

- Worldwide sales rose
8.2% in the fourth quarter.

8.2% in the fourth quarter,

that's worth noting, 8.2%.

- Hey Po, do you know

if your dad knows how
to use a telephone?

- Daddy's great.

- Oh.

- Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

- Po, daddy's been very busy.

- Which one should I believe.

- Po.

- Oh, I knew it.

- Amelia Carr says that
muskrats are important

to the ecosystem
of north America.

Though minks will eat muskrats,

so be careful, muskrats!

- Po, daddy really needs some
quiet time right now, okay?

- Amelia Carr has
a beautiful voice.

- Po, daddy is very happy that
you have a friend at school.

- She has two daddies.

- I know, but, if you're going
to stay in here right now,

I need you to be quiet.

- Don't be afraid, daddy.

- Be afraid of what, Po?

- Where's mommy?

- Po, I need quiet, right now.

Please.

- Oh, okay, daddy.

Fax machine, daddy!

- Dammit, Po, shut up!

Shut up!

Why can't you understand the
words coming out of my mouth?

Stop talking.

I can't think when you
won't stop talking!

Hey, no.

- No, no!

- Okay, I'm sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry, buddy.

Sorry, Po, that
was not your fault.

That was not your fault.

Daddy's an idiot.

Okay, daddy's an idiot.

- Amelia Carr can talk
to trees, Amelia Carr.

Amelia Carr can talk to trees.

- You guys really worked
your asses off on this,

and I appreciate it.

And I talked to Randall,

and while you might be shuffled
around between departments,

you're all keeping your jobs.

- What about you?

- Oh, I have the opportunity
to go pursue my dream

of being a medieval blacksmith.

- Okay guys, let's give
this guy some room.

- Hey, thanks for everything.

- Oh, that's it?

You're just going to quit?

- Look, I got fired, man.

What do you want me to do?

- What I don't want you to do
is to give up on this plane.

Come on man, we were this
close, you know that.

- Hey, I'll uh, I'll call you,

maybe we can talk about it.

- Will you?

Please do.

- I will.

- Hey, keep your head up.

- Reuters reports
general electric

is down 12 cents
a share profits.

12 cents, 12.

- Po, Po!

I need your help.

I can't seem to find my horse.

I, uh, I know he's
around here somewhere.

Marshmallow, marshmallow,
where are you?

- Marshmallow, really?

- Yes, why?

You don't like it?

- It's kind of a silly
name for a horse, Jack

- oh, well, someone's
in a bad mood.

- I'm just worried about my
dad, he seems sad all the time.

- Oh well, parents are weird.

Butterfly!

- Okay, good talk.

- My boss got a call today

from your healthcare
provider saying that uh,

they were ending their
service contract with Po.

- What, that's gotta
be some kind of glitch.

- I mean, I could
continue working with him

if you wanted to pay
out of pocket, but...

- I,.

I, I can't, I lost my job.

- I'm sorry, I, uh.

- It's okay.

- But the thing is I,

my company won't let me work
with him without a contract

'cause it's like a liability,
and if he were to get...

- yeah, okay, I
totally understand.

I should have continuing
coverage for 12 months,

so they shouldn't be
canceling anything.

I'll take care of it.

- Okay.

- Watch out!

- Hey.

- Hey, can I get in?

Oh!

- Wrastler.

- Oh!

I'm supposed to have
continuing health coverage

for up to 12 months, or
until I get a new job.

- The coverage
lasts for 12 months,

but that's base services.

Nonessential treatment's
cut after 30 days.

- Nonessential?

It's therapy for his condition.

- It's just not
medically defined.

- It is, it's autism.

He has autism.

- Which is not a qualifying
medical condition

for base level services.

- This is crazy, this is crazy.

You know this is crazy, right?

About one in 70 kids has autism.

Someone you know has autism.

How can this not be covered?

- You can file a formal
complaint, but I must advise you,

the response time is 18 months.

- 18, severance coverage
only lasts 12 months.

- Trust me when I tell you,

you're not the first person
to figure that one out.

- Right.

- If you wish to keep
nonessential services,

you can move on to a monthly
fee-for-service plan.

- Is this a joke?

This is more than out-of-pocket.

Oh, but I'm not the first one

to figure that one
out either, right?

- It's the only option we have.

- Of course it is.

- I wanna play with Amelia Carr.

- We're not going to
do that right now, Po.

We're working on shapes.

- No, Amelia.

Where's Jack?

- Po.

- Come here.

No, hey, Po, calm down.

Po, stop it.

- Toy store.

- No, the toy store's not there
anymore, Po, you know that.

- Let's go to the toy store.

- No, it's not there anymore.

- Where's mommy?

- Stop it, will
you stop it please?

No, no, hey, you
can't take a shoe.

No, you can't touch that.

- Where's mommy?

- Po, come here.

Listen to me.

Stop asking me that.

Mommy's not here.

And she's not coming back, okay?

Po!

Po!

Po, are you?

Hey, Po!

Po!

Po!

Hey, can you help
me find my son?

He's 11 years old,
he has brown hair,

blue stripped shirt,
and jeans, Po!

You guys see a kid with
a blue stripped shirt?

- We have
a code Adam, young boy.

- Po!

Approximately 10 years old,

blue stripped shirt,
any eyes on him?

- How long ago did you lose him?

- I didn't lose him, he ran off,

about 15 minutes.

- Has he been here before?

Is there a certain store
that he likes a lot?

- He likes the toy store,
but it's not here anymore.

I don't know.

- Can you just try and
keep calm, all right?

He's 11, you said?

- Yes.

- He should be just fine.

- No, he, you don't understand.

He gets hurt a lot, he's,

hey, are you just gonna
stand there writing?

You know what?

Forget it.

Po!

Po, where are you?

Po, Po!

- Mr.
Wilson, Mr. Wilson.

- Did you find him?

- Please, just come with me.

- Did you find my son?

- Will you just
come with me, sir?

Thank you.

- No, ouchie, ouchie.

It's a rainbow, daddy.

- Are you okay?

Hey, are you okay?

I'm so sorry, buddy.

- Sir, your son
shoplifted these items

from the store over here.

This is pretty serious.

- Rainbow, daddy.

- Okay, sweetie.

Po, my son, is, he
has some challenges.

He's not a shoplifter,
I swear to you.

He does stuff like this.

- Give me a second.

- Po, you cannot run
away from me like that.

We've talked about
this so many times.

It makes me very upset.

- Don't be sad, daddy.

- I'm not sad, buddy, I'm just,

I don't know what I am.

- Me too.

All right sir,

we've got something worked out.

- Oh, thank you.

Here, stay right here.

- You'll need to make restitution
for the damaged items,

and it's gonna be few
thousand dollars, sir.

- A few?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

- We have your name and address,

she'll be sending you the bill.

- Uh, okay, okay, thank you.

I'm so sorry about this.

I'll take care of all this.

Thank you for your help.

Come on, let's go.

- Sir, few words of
advice, if I may?

- Okay.

- If I was you, I'd keep
my retarded kid on a leash.

That way he won't
get away from you.

- Time to go, Po.

- My dad's a wrastler.

- You kinda deserved
that, you know.

- Hi.

I just need you to
tell me it's okay.

I don't know how to
move on without you.

- Hey, where you
going off to freak?

I'm talking to you.

- Please, ouchie, ouchie.

- Ouchie, what are you a baby?

- Please.

- You don't run away
from me when I call you.

You get that through
your little bird brain.

- It's a documented fact
that the inferior members

of the species are prone
to aggressive behavior.

- What a freak.

- I'm not a freak!

- Bye, Patrick, Po.

Bye, Po.

- Patrick's school teacher,
myself, the therapy instructors,

we've all become quite concerned

about Po's declining situation.

I need to inform you

that we're going to
be calling a meeting

to recommend Patrick
be transferred

into specialized programming.

- No, you can't do that.

- We need to, Mr. Wilson.

We simply can't provide
what he needs here.

- Right, you mainstream
kids, but the fact is,

you can't really handle kids
outside of the ordinary.

They muck up the works.

They're expensive,
even if they're smart.

They don't score well on
your standardized tests.

Isn't that it?

- Your son is struggling.

And every single one
of us is sick about it.

- Come on, this is a
blip, and you know it.

You know what he's
been going through.

Po is a smart boy.

He could run circles
around most of these kids.

He just does it in his own way.

He's even starting
to make friends, uh,

Amelia, Amelia Carr.

Po has never had a real
friend his own age,

and he can't stop talking
about this girl here at school.

- Amelia?

- Amelia Carr, she
has two daddies.

- Mr. Wilson, we do
not have a student

named Amelia Carr
in this school.

- What are you talking about?

- I know every student
in this school.

Not a single Amelia
anything, I assure you.

- Well that's impossible.

- Excuse me.

- Hi, daddy.

Where's mommy?

- Stop it, Po.

- Patrick's a
nice name for a boy,

but I think I'll call you Po.

- All right, Po.

Hey, Po, calm down, calm down.

- Where's mommy?

- Stop it.

No, hey, give me.

- Where's mommy?

- Po, stop!

- Where's mommy?

- Stop it!

- Uh oh.

- This is for the expired tags.

You'll need to get valid
registration within 30 days,

or the next citation will result

in an impounding
of your vehicle.

What happened to your eye?

- Oh, it was, it was at school.

No, at school,
another kid hit him.

- Another kid hit him?

- Yeah, at school.

- Step out of the car, please.

- Out of the car?

- Yeah.

- Po, stay here,
everything's fine.

Okay.
- Come on.

What happened to his eye?

- Another kid hit him at school.

I told you.

- Hey, where are you guys going?

- Po, get back in the
car, everything's fine.

- You okay?

- It's dinnertime.

- No, buddy, get
back in the car.

- All right, just
forget about the ticket.

- Okay, we're fine?

- We're good.

- Come on, honey,
get in the car.

- Drive safe.

- Hi, I'm trying
to reach bill haze.

Yes, I'll hold.

You're gonna love
this place, buddy.

It's only for a little while,

and daddy's gonna be there
all the time to see you,

and they have tons of
fun kids, and guess what?

They even have
macaroni and cheese.

Isn't that great, Po?

Okay, um,

Po,

the fact is, daddy's been having
a really hard time lately.

I don't think I'm
doing a very good job

of taking care of you,

and you deserve the best

because you're a
very special boy.

Okay, yeah, sorry.

Sorry.

- It's a nice place, safe,

well-equipped to handle
your son's needs.

- Patrick will be

well looked after
here, Mr. Wilson,

we've had a great success rate
with our live-in ABA therapy.

- Uh, I think I should check
on him just one more time.

- Mr. Wilson. David, you've
already said goodbye.

You'll just confuse him.

Give him some time.

- Yeah.

I'm going to be
here all the time.

- Door's always open.

- Do me a favor, keep
an eye out for Po.

He's pretty special.

- They all are.

- Uh, wow.

You do realize that
you're way overqualified

for this position.

- What if I promise to
only work hard enough

to the point of being
perfectly qualified?

- That's funny, and lazy.

- Listen, I'm just gonna
be straight with you,

I have a son with special needs

who's being cared for right now

by an agency that will certainly

and probably unexpectedly
cut off funding.

It's just how these
things always go.

So, I need to get both of us

back onto healthcare
as soon as possible.

So I will do this job,
I will do it well,

any way you want to.

I will never complain
about it being beneath me

or about it being boring.

I will be a model employee.

And everybody,

everyone will say,

damn, Randy knows
how to hire people.

Please, I'm begging you.

- There's no need to beg, okay.

I like you, we'll be in touch.

- Thank you.

- I'm glad that you called.

I was um, starting to
wonder about you.

- I enrolled Po in the
ABA facility in Calabasas.

- Wow, that must have
been really difficult

- I feel like a horrible father.

- No, you're not, you're not.

You're doing everything
that you can.

- Am I?

- This could turn out to be
a really great thing for him.

And if it's not, then
you can pull him out.

Oh, here comes one.

- Look at that, you see
the shape of the wings?

It converts the forward
thrust into lift.

It takes 75 tons of
metal off the ground.

It seems to defy all
the laws of physics,

but the physics are perfect
which is why it works.

And now we've got
composite materials.

- Yeah.

- New composite
materials, new designs,

so we can increase the lift

and reduce the size and weight.

- How do you know
all of that stuff?

- It's what I do,
I'm an engineer.

- Oh.

- Before I lost my job

I was working on a
new plane, a hybrid.

I was designing the airframes,

the wings and the fuselage,
not the propulsion system.

Sorry.

- No, there you go, you
are the first engineer

who's ever explained
his job to me.

- Unfortunately, I
don't think it's ever

getting off the ground.

- Bad physics?

- Pretty much.

I had it in my head.

I could see it, and
then it disappeared.

Well, it's just a plane, right?

- I'm sure it was
more than that.

- Could've been.

- Well, I believe that
god grants blessings

in mysterious ways.

- Thanks for coming out
here to talk to me, Amy.

I really appreciate it.

- Of course.

- It's highly repetitive,
and it seems so simplistic,

but we perform these behavioral
routines for several hours

every day until
they become routine.

Now the kids are rewarded
for their successes

mostly in the form of stickers

that we have here
for goodies and toys.

And we do this
with social skills,

academics, self-care and
hygiene, and motor functions.

- What does it really change?

At the end of the day,

they're still the
same basic kid, right?

- Well, here's something
most men understand.

Now, imagine that you're horrible
at, let's say, basketball,

just born without the height,
the speed, the coordination.

But let's say, from
a very early age,

you're out there with a
coach, every day, for hours

working on basic
skills, over and over.

Free throws, set shot,
three-pointer, over and over again,

training your body
to make these shots.

Now, through repetition,

even the most unblessed athlete

would be reasonably
proficient at these skills.

And then no, you
don't make the NBA,

but maybe you make
your high school team,

and that's not bad.

- He looks pale to me.

- Well on that front,
you can rest assured

that every kid here is getting
three solid meals a day,

plenty of rest, and medical
attention whenever needed.

- Sounds like,

I'll be back
on Thursday, thank you.

Hey, Po.

Uh, I have to go to work.

But I'll be back on
Thursday, okay buddy?

- Don't be afraid, daddy.

- I'll be back on Thursday.

- Do you think
you're ready to come with me?

- No, not yet.

- Okay, you let
me know when you're ready.

- I will.

- Oh, it's not broken.

You just had the blades
on the wrong way.

These are fixed-pitch propellers,
so two spin clockwise,

the other two spin
counterclockwise.

- Cool.

- Now by precisely and
accurately spinning

these four propellers
at different speeds,

all the common
directional movements

of the standard
helicopter are attained.

- Wow.

- There you go.

- Thank you so, so much.

- Anytime.

- Thank you.

- Now you.

- So this is where
they hide genius.

- Hey, man.

- You've been thinking about
our plane, haven't you?

- I can't stop.

Thank you.

- Nice digs you got here.

- Well, they've got
a real health plan.

Listen, hey, thanks
for the coffee.

I gotta get back to work.

- They've got you on boss watch?

Serious, do they not
understand who you are?

Should I tell them?

- Please don't.

- All right, well listen,
I've been doing some thinking,

and I think that what
you need is a woman.

Wait, hear me out.

What we're gonna do
is we're gonna go out,

we're gonna get some drinks,

we're gonna meet
some nice girls.

We drive to Vegas.

- I can't, I can't.

I, uh, I've kind of
started seeing somebody.

- Wow, I'm happy for you, man.

I'm, all right, all right.

My boy David is
getting some, people!

- Really?

- You are a good
man, David Wilson.

- Have a nice day,
total stranger.

- Woo!

- That's amazing.

- And if you board
this ship, Po,

you can live here forever.

- Are they lost children too?

- Oh no, not lost, in movement.

You see all beings exist
on multiple planes.

But most can only perceive
the one that they're on.

They're unable, or
unwilling to see the others.

But some children,
have the ability

to tune into other frequencies.

That's why you appear
tuned out in their world

because you're moving
between places, Po.

Well, they don't understand it,

so they give it simple names,

refer to it as a
medical condition.

But the children here
are from the world over.

- This is all so incredible.

- Oh, Po, this is
just one channel.

The places your
mind will take you,

I can't even begin to imagine.

- Has he been eating?

- It's been a struggle.

- Po.

Po.

- Patrick's a nice
name for a boy.

- Do you remember me, Po?

- Amelia Carr can talk to trees.

- It's Amy, Po.

- Jack's my friend.

- I'd really like to be put
in the loop on his report.

- I do appreciate your concern,

but that's really
just limited to...

- please.

- I'll list you as family.

- Thank you.

Mm, you're right, this
is a great Pb and j.

- I told you.

- Um, I saw Po yesterday.

- At shoreline, why?

- I missed him.

- I wish you would've
asked me first.

- I'm sorry, I was just,
um, worried about him.

- Yeah, I'm worried
about him too,

but I didn't have a choice

'cause his school's
pushing him out,

and the whole insurance
screw up, and my job,

and I don't have any money,

so I can't take care of him.

Bill was right, I let
my ego get in the way.

I did it with my job.

I did it with Po.

- Do you ever wonder
why Po drifts?

- Do I wonder why he drifts?

Yeah, yeah, I do.

I wonder why he drifts.

I wonder why he flaps his arms.

I wonder why he won't eat.

I wonder if he'll ever
learn how to tie his shoes,

or get a girlfriend,
or get married, yeah.

I wonder a lot.

- Well, when I was there,

they told me that you hadn't
seen I'm in a couple of days.

- They told you that?

I've been working double
shifts at a hobby shop,

so we don't lose our house.

Did they tell you that?

- I just think that
when you get the time,

you should probably go see him.

- Where's this coming from?

Why are you on my case?

You're not his mom.

- You're right, I'm not his mom.

But you're his dad.

Do not let him drift away
'til there's nothing left.

I'm only trying to help.

- Well, I didn't
ask for your help.

- You're right.

- David.

- Beth.

- I thought I'd sleep
in here tonight.

- I miss you so much.

- Is Po okay?

- Po?

- Didn't you just
go check on him?

I thought I heard him cry.

- Yeah, yeah, I just,

I can't do this alone.

I need you here.

- You've done real well.

You'll do just fine.

Don't be afraid, David.

- Hello.

- Mr.
Wilson, you're son Po

has gone missing from shoreline.

Please come to the facility
as soon as you can.

- Bill, where is he?

- David, I'm really sorry,

but we have no idea where...

- we searched the
entire facility.

He's definitely not
inside the building.

- I assure you, this has
never happened before.

- You have surveillance
cameras on the property?

- Yeah, we do.

It's DVR inside the
administration's office.

- Great, now you wanna
tell me how you lose a kid?

- We will find
him, I promise you.

- -Yeah, bill this is
your responsibility!

- David, calm down.

- Don't you tell me...

- sir, we have a
witness who saw a boy

that matches the description,

who got into a cab here on
this street about an hour ago.

What we don't have

is the name of the taxi
company or license plate.

- Oh, god.

- Do you have any idea where
your son might take a cab?

- Yes.

Po!

Po.

Po.

Po, can you hear me?

- Come on, are you ready?

- Once I get on the rocket ship,

there's no coming back, right?

- We exist on many planes,
but we can only live on one.

I know you'll make
the right choice, Po.

- Don't you leave
me, you understand?

I am not going to let you go.

- I'm ready.

- I'm glad, Po.

- Po, please.

Po.

Po, can you hear me?

Come on, buddy.

Po, Po, please come
back to me, buddy.

Hey, Po.

Po.

- Don't be afraid daddy.

- Don't be afraid of what, pal?

- Don't be afraid of me.

I don't want people
to be afraid of me.

Don't be afraid of me, daddy.

- I'm not afraid of you.

Daddy's not afraid, not anymore.

- Where's mommy?

- Po, mommy died,

and I didn't take you
to the funeral because,

I was wrong, I was wrong.

And you didn't get a
chance to say goodbye,

and I am so sorry.

You listen to me, Po,
your mommy is in heaven,

and she is dancing with angels.

She's fine.

You hear me?

Your mommy's fine.

- I know.

I miss her, daddy.

- I miss her too, buddy.

I miss her too.

Let's go, buddy.

- In light of all
of our meetings

with Po over the past few days,

and with a new, rather detailed

plan of attack from Po's father,

we've decided to have Po back
at Parker elementary school.

And thanks to Jack
and his watchful eyes,

Taylor march has been
expelled for bullying.

I'm so sorry we didn't catch
this sooner, Mr. Wilson.

- Thank you, Jack.

- Natural selection
is the theory

of plant and animal
adaptation first introduced

by Charles Darwin in 1859.

Not that you would notice,

but I've moved on
to the letter n.

- Natural selection
is the theory

by which organisms with
more favorable traits

are more likely to survive.

- Po Wilson, you've
been borrowing my book

without my permission.

- Yeah.

- I'm afraid it's that time.

Over time you'll forget
about me more and more.

We'll still be with you,

as will your mother,
and all of the others

looking out for you.

Always and forever.

- All right.

What do ya think?

- It's a rainbow, daddy!

- Yeah, is there a rainbow?

- Rainbow!

- Rainbow.

- Rainbow.

- It's the rainbow!

Of course, it's a rainbow!

You're a genius!

- I told you.

- You told me.

- A rainbow.

- Yes, you did.

- Rainbow.
- High five.

It flies.

My son calls it
the rainbow wing.

It increases lift by 80%.

This design will change
the way you and I fly

for the rest of our lives.

- My god!

- And you're sure it flies?

- Oh, yeah, it
flies, we tested it.

You can do a full-scale
test as early as next month.

- That is the plan
I promised you.

- Good job, David.

- Thanks, oh, one more thing,

I quit.

- Excuse me?

- Uh, he just gets excited.

- Thank you, Peggy.

- Wait, wait.

Are, are you seriously quitting?

- David, at least you gotta
come back and work here.

- No, I'm handing the
project over to Ben.

He is the second
smartest guy you've got.

- That's funny.

- What are you gonna do?

- Well, I might come if you
get your healthcare sorted out,

but until then, I'm gonna
take a little break,

and spend some time with my son.

- It's unusual for
someone your age

to clear out their 401.

- Well, I'm unusual,
and so is my son.

And I wanna take a
couple of months off

without losing my house.

- Are you sure you
don't wanna keep

a couple long-term positions?

This is rather a large
amount to take in cash.

- I don't know if
I'd call it large,

but if my paycheck
contributions haven't added up

to at least 20k, I'm
calling the cops.

- Mr. Wilson, you have over
$400,000 in your account.

- What?

- I admit, some
of the stock picks

were rather risky, but they
did pay off quite well.

- Uh, I haven't made
any stock picks.

- Well, I assume that these
are your order sheets.

We've been receiving the faxes.

This is your verified
signature on them.

- Autograph, please.

- Of course, if you'd like

to question the funds
in your account.

- Check, please.

- Yes, sir.

- Mac and cheese!

- Mm, it's good.

- She's pretty, daddy.

- She's very pretty, Po.

- You boys are too sweet.

Oh, I was going to
give you something.

I know that it's not
your birthday yet,

but I want you to open it.

- What did you do?

- You'll see.

- Wow, wow, wow!

What is it?

- Billy idol tickets?

- Billy idol, Billy
idol, Billy idol,

Billy idol, Billy idol!

Hi, mom.

I have something for you.
