[LABORED BREATHING]

[MAN] Ladies and gentlemen,
before we begin,

it is my duty to remind you

that a grand jury
proceeding is not a trial.

As you can see, there is no judge
in the room here with us,

no defense attorneys.

This is an investigatory process,
at the end of which

you will be asked to decide whether
or not I have provided you

with sufficient evidence to grant
a true bill of indictment.

If so, I may take the
case to superior court.

If not, if you return a
decision of "no bill,"

then this case ends here, today.

Could you state your name
for the record, please?

You were asked to state your name.

[SOFTLY] Andrew Stephen Barber.

Little louder, if you don't mind.

Andrew Stephen Barber.

Can you state your occupation, please?

I was an assistant district attorney
in this building for ten years.

"Was"?

So you're no longer
employed as a prosecutor

for Middlesex County, is that correct?

Yes. That's right.

Mr. Barber...

Andy.

I assume you're familiar with
your Fifth Amendment rights?

I would hope so.

And you've waived them, correct?

I'm here, aren't I?

Would you agree that it's a little
unusual, given the circumstances?

I don't have any tricks up my sleeve,

if that's what you're getting at.

- No one was implying that.
- Yes, you were. So would I.

I'm here 'cause I believe in the system

and just want the truth to come out.

Well, let's get started
on the truth then.

I'd like to begin by reading a
quote from The Boston Globe

that ran a few weeks ago.

[CLEARS THROAT]

"They became national news,

an object of fascination for both
the NPR set and the TMZ crowd,

the subject of a popular podcast,

hundreds of editorials
and countless articles.

So it's easy to forget
that less than a year ago

their lives were as mundane
and uneventful as our own.

Is there such a thing as the
perfect family? Of course not.

But the Barber family
was a happy family,

and if there was anything truly
special about them, it was this."

I wonder if you'd agree.

Is that an accurate
description of your family

on the morning that Ben
Rifkin was murdered?

"Happy"?

Yes.

[ALARM BEEPING]

- Hey. Come on. Time to get up.
- [BEEPING STOPS]

Let's go. Rise and shine.

Jake? Gotta see those eyes.

All right. You leave me no choice.

[JAKE GROANS]

Last chance.

["BACK IN BLACK" PLAYING]

[JAKE GROANS]

[GROANS, WHIMPERS]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

- I'm up.
- There he is!

- Morning, buddy.
- [MUSIC STOPS]

[GROANS]

[EXHALES]

[WATER RUNNING]

Can you quiz me on vocab?
I have a test today.

- Oh. Good morning to you too.
- Morning, Mom.

You need a ride today,
or are you walking?

Uh, no, I'll walk.
Did you get new waffles?

I did if you put them on
my list. "Perspicacious."

"Having a keen understanding."
They're not in here.

- Did you put them on my list?
- Yes.

Then they're in there. "Cursory."

Uh, "brief and lacking depth."
I don't see them.

Second shelf next to the peas. "Myopic."

I'm telling you, they're not... Oh, I...

- "Myopic."
- "Possessing a narrow view."

How was the run?

- "Recalcitrant."
- Yikes.

Vocab test.

Hey, would you throw one of
those in there for me, buddy?

"Recalcitrant." Uh, I don't know.

- "Defying authority."
- Are you sure? Let me see.

- That's what it says.
- Where'd you run?

Along Boylston. I got lost in that
history podcast I told you about.

I think you'd really like it.

- I'll check it out.
- No, you won't.

Oh, Claudia Hoffman e-mailed me again.

Who?

Lizzy's sister. The travel agent.

- Oh, right, right. Mexico.
- Yeah.

What about Mexico?

We're thinking about going
there for Christmas.

Three of us. What do you think?

Cool.

- You might be a little more excited.
- I am.

Well, tell your face.

You love that line.

You really do.

Look, we need to make a decision.

Should we go?

I mean, Jake is obviously ecstatic.

[ANDY] No, he's beside himself.

I wouldn't wanna break his heart.

What kind of parents would we be?

Hilarious.

- So are we going?
- I say yes. Yes to Mexico.

Great. I'll call her.

All right, I've got an early meeting,
so I'm jumping in the shower.

- Okay.
- Will you finish quizzing him?

Yeah.

- Bye, honey.
- [JACOB] Bye.

[EXHALES] "Phlegmatic."

["SEASON OF THE WITCH" PLAYING]

[SONG CONTINUES]

[INDISTINCT]

I'll see you later, okay?

[SONG CONTINUES]

[SONG FADES]

[MAN] Your Honor, I need a
couple minutes to explain.

[FEMALE JUDGE] You'll have that
opportunity in pretrial, Mr. Molloy.

The charge is distribution
of a class A substance.

[MOLLOY] Such bullshit.

Bail is set at $1,000 cash or
10,000 personal recognizance.

[MOLLOY] Come on. Are you kidding me?

Thank you, Your Honor.

What the hell are you thanking her for?

[JUDGE] Pretrial conference
is scheduled for May 24th.

Next.

Please.

Indictment number 17-2832,
Commonwealth versus William J. Moore.

Charge is one count of
aggravated assault.

[JUDGE] Is Mr. Moore's attorney present?

Good morning, Your Honor.

Commonwealth?

Your Honor, I'm afraid we have
to insist on a continuance

on the grounds that we've
been unable to interview

a necessary witness.

[JUDGE] This court already granted
you a continuance four months ago.

Yes, Your Honor, but this witness
has been very difficult to locate.

Without getting into detail,

it has to do with her
choice of lifestyle.

She's an escort, Your Honor,

like her friend, who the defendant
is accused of battering.

Since this was an issue last time,

I had a state trooper track her down.

It only took a day.

She corroborated her friend's
account of the assault.

She also said the defense
had already questioned her.

Maybe he forgot to take notes.

- Your Honor, if I may just elaborate...
- [JUDGE] No, you may not.

Continuance is denied. Trial is
set for three weeks from today.

Next.

All right, you're due back in
for a session in 15 minutes,

then meeting with Lynn, her office.

I think she wants an
update on the Willis case.

Oh. That makes two of us.
Bobby, you guys out of peach?

Could be. Let me check the back.

Thanks. How's the hip?

Oh, you know, worse than yesterday,
better than tomorrow.

Hmm. You wanted a conference
with Judge French in chambers.

His clerk says he has a
2:30, if you want that.

- [PHONE RINGS]
- Thank you.

Hey.

Oh, Jesus. Okay. Where?

Okay. Yeah, I'll meet you over there.

Something wrong?

You're a lucky man,
Mr. B. Only got one left.

- Thanks.
- What is it?

We gotta clear the rest of my day.

- [CHATTERING]
- It's looking very good. Very good.

Be careful taking that out.
We don't wanna make a mess.

- That's what she said.
- [ALL LAUGHING]

[TEACHER] What are we doing here?
What are you dipping? That is...

- [CHIMING ON PA]
- [MAN ON PA] Attention.

Archer is now on lockdown,
effective immediately.

All students are to remain
in their classrooms...

- Okay. Okay.
- [SIREN BLARING]

Guys, I-I can't hear the announcement.

... make sure all students
are accounted for.

- [CLAMORING]
- [DOOR LOCKS]

[TEACHER] Over here, against the
wall, please. Sit down. Stay quiet.

- [ANNOUNCEMENT CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]
- [CHATTERING]

Repeat. We are now on lockdown.

[CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO]

[SIRENS IN DISTANCE]

[ANDY] News didn't take long.

- Yeah. It's gonna be a real shitstorm.
- Yeah.

Let's go.

She's the one who found the body?

And the kid's backpack, which
is how they managed to ID him.

Name's Benjamin Rifkin, 14 years old,

stabbed three times in the chest.

Oh, fuck.

He's Jacob's year at Archer.
Jesus Christ. His poor parents.

I take it you know them.

No, not that well.

Anyway, keep going.

ME thinks he was dead less than
an hour before he was found.

Stabbing probably took place
on or near the jogging trail.

- There's a lot of cast-off on the grounds.
- Hey, hey, hey.

It's okay. Detective Duffy
is with our office.

Let 'em through.
The fuck's wrong with you?

Sorry, Duff. It's been a shit morning.

There's nothing worse than a kid.

Our thinking is, the attack
took place over there,

then the body fell or was
pushed down the hill.

Doesn't look like any effort
was made to conceal it.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

This way. Watch your step.

[CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO]

The lady who found him
said he was facedown.

She thought maybe he was sick,
so she rolled him over,

took one good look at him and freaked.

Crabbed away on her palms and
knees, then got up and ran.

Basically fucked the whole scene.

[PHONE RINGS]

Excuse me. I have to take this.

Jacob. You okay?

Yeah. The school's on lockdown,
but nobody knows why.

I know, it's...

Look, I can't talk about it
right now, okay, buddy?

Just listen to your teachers,
do exactly what they say.

Yeah, but you do know why. I mean,
is there some psycho shooter?

No, it's nothing like that.
You're safe. I promise.

Jake?

Okay.

Dad?

Yeah?

What is it, buddy?

Nothing.

You sure?

Yeah.

Okay, I gotta go. I'll see you
back at home though, okay?

I love you very much.

- All right. I love you too.
- Bye.

[DUFFY] So, no one in the park
heard anything, saw anything?

[MALE DETECTIVE]
We're still asking around.

If we find his cell phone, we can
probably track his movements.

His phone's missing?

Wasn't in his backpack or on his person.

We're thinking the perp
might have taken it.

[ANDY] What about a weapon?

Nothing yet. The park's
a good 65 acres though.

That's gonna be a haystack.

[WOMAN] "Children are
the living messages

we send to a time we will not see."

That quote from John F. Kennedy

speaks directly to our work
here at Children's Cottage,

where our mission has always been
to nurture those who need it most:

abused, neglected and traumatized
youth in the greater Boston area.

A residential campus provides
not just stability and safety...

- Can we just pause it a sec?
- ... but support.

Don't you think I sound stiff?

You sound great.

You're just self-conscious.

I sound like I'm reading
a traffic report.

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Sorry, guys, my phone is going crazy.

I just feel if we're going to
start the gala with this video,

then it really needs to grab people.

Newton schools are on lockdown.

Turn on the news.

[FEMALE REPORTER] We're reporting
live from Cold Spring Park,

where earlier today the body of
a 14-year-old boy was found.

- The park will remain closed...
- Oh, my God.

... until further notice, as detectives
continue their investigation.

Honey, it's Mom. Are you okay?

[REPORTER] The police
are going door-to-door

in the neighborhoods adjacent
to Cold Spring Park,

hoping to find anyone who was
in the park this morning

and may have seen the victim talking to

or having contact with someone else.

A source inside the
investigation has confirmed

that two witnesses have
come forward so far,

but a suspect has yet to be named.

Newton Police have set
up an anonymous hotline

for anyone who frequents the park,

in case they have seen
any suspicious behavior

or have any information
about this tragedy.

In the meantime, this tight-knit
community is on edge tonight,

knowing a murderer walks among them.

[KNOCKING]

Can't go this way, buddy.
You gotta turn around.

[GARAGE DOOR MECHANISM RATTLES]

He came home with Derek, so we didn't...

Right.

How's Jennifer doing?

Oh, God. These poor kids.

I did.

Toby said Robin's organizing
food for the shiva,

so I'm going to call her.

- Listen, Andy just got home.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

You too. Bye.

- [ANDY] Was that Karen?
- Yeah.

Where's Jake?

Upstairs. Derek's over. They're
playing video games in his room.

You get a chance to talk
to him about it yet?

Not really, with Derek here.

Figure we could talk to him later.

[SIGHS]

Just came from the Rifkins.

Oh, my God.

I can't even imagine.

It was...

That bad, huh?

[EXHALES] Worse.

Do you have any idea who
could have done this?

Not yet.

You said there was a fingerprint.

Yeah, partial. No matches so far.

I mean, how could this even happen?

I can't even get my head around it.
That park is two blocks away.

I'll tell you one thing,

Jacob is never walking to
school that way again.

[MALE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER]
I need some help here!

[DEREK] What are you waiting for?

[JACOB] They're gonna kill me.

- [KNOCKS]
- [DEREK] You said you got him.

- I do. I see him.
- Right there! That guy on the left.

Derek, your dad's here.

Oh, okay.

[MALE CHARACTER 2] Get out of here!

- [MALE CHARACTER 1] Go, go, go!
- [GUNFIRE]

- [DEREK] Later, Jake.
- See you.

Thanks for having me,
Mrs. Barber, Mr. Barber.

Anytime.

- You all right?
- I guess. Yeah.

Give our best to your parents, okay?

- Yeah.
- [VIDEO GAME DIALOGUE, INDISTINCT]

Hey, pal. We wanted to
talk to you for a second.

Sure.

[VIDEO GAME SOUND STOPS]

We just want to see how you're doing,

how are you feeling about
what happened to Ben.

I'm fine. I mean, yeah, it's weird.

But it's not like we were
close friends or anything.

Well, still, it must be scary,
knowing someone that got murdered.

Someone your age.

I guess. I mean, yeah, a little bit.

You guys were in a
class together, right?

Yeah, math. [CLEARS THROAT]

Was he a nice kid?

Ben? He was all right.

Just all right?

Well, I don't wanna be mean or anything,

but he was kind of full
of himself, you know?

Like, he thought he was really cool.

[ANDY] Was he?

To some people, yeah.
Girls were into him.

Well, we just want you to know
we're here for you, okay?

Whatever you're feeling,
you can tell us.

I kinda just did.

Like I said, I didn't really
know him that well.

I'm good though. Really.

Okay.

- We love you.
- Love you too.

If you change your mind and
you want to talk to us...

I know. Thank you.

[ANDY] Dinner in 30 minutes.

- Okay, pal?
- Okay.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[WOMAN] Can I admit something horrible?

The whole time tonight I
kept thinking, "Thank God."

"Thank God it was their
kid and not mine."

Believe me, everybody thought that.

I just don't think I could survive
the loss. I really don't.

[SIGHS]

Do you remember when Jacob
was little, your bedtime routine?

You'd always ask, "How much
does Daddy love Jacob?"

- And he'd say, "Too much."
- "Too much."

[CHUCKLES]

In four years, he'll be
going off to college.

- Oh, my God.
- Isn't that crazy?

I can't even think about it.

Hmm.

Do you ever wish you'd
known your father?

Not really.

When I was younger, sometimes.

From what little my mom told me,
sounds like I wasn't missing much.

We should get some sleep.

I know.

I like talking to you.

I love you.

I love you too.

[LAUGHTER ON TV]

Look at me!

[GASPS]

[PANTING]

Thanks, Mom.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye.

Love you.

[GIRL] I'll meet you in class.

[CHATTERING]

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

Have a seat.

I thought that press
conference went well enough.

They want answers, Andy.
So do the boy's parents.

Yeah, so do I.

- You know as well as I...
- [KNOCKS]

- I asked Neal to join us.
- Andy.

This isn't an ambush.

I'm just not sure you handling
this case is still the best idea.

You're friendly with the parents,
your son goes to the same school...

We barely know the parents.

Let me guess, Rasputin
here offered to take over?

Neal has legitimate concerns about
the appearance of conflict.

And frankly, so do I.
Appearances matter.

- [ANDY] Yeah, to voters.
- Oh, come on now.

- Sorry.
- It's a question of objectivity.

Shut up, Neal.

Are you taking me off
the case? Yes or no.

Right now I'm merely
asking what you think.

I think I should stay on.

If I were more concerned
about my reputation,

maybe I'd feel differently.

But unlike Mr. Logiudice here,
I'm not gunning for your job.

Fuck off, Andy. Okay?

Hey, I get it. High-profile case,

big splashy win... Be a game changer.

You're a real piece of
work, you know that?

- Gentlemen.
- You're dragging your feet on this case.

The case is going slow 'cause
that's how the case is going.

I'm not going to indict someone
just to make it look good.

You always told me to push
every case as hard as I could.

I am pushing it as hard as I can.

Then why haven't you
interviewed any of the kids?

Because it isn't Dorchester
High, Neal. It's Newton.

Every single detail
has to be negotiated.

Half the parents there are lawyers.

Look, we got interviews
lined up all day.

You wanna send Neal? Be my guest.

I have concerns, I voiced them.

- If you say there's no conflict...
- There isn't.

I don't know how you can be
the one to make that call.

Because that's the way it works,
Neal. I make the calls.

And if I'm wrong,

I'll be the one to stand in front
of the jury and take the hit.

Okay.

- Thank you.
- Of course, Andy.

- I'll keep you updated.
- Please do.

[DUFFY] We've gotten consent
to fingerprint most of the kids.

I think we start with
high-priority witnesses.

Ben's close friends,

kids known to walk to school
through Cold Spring Park.

I'm Lieutenant Duffy.
I'm with the state police.

And this is Mr. Barber.

He's the assistant district
attorney in charge of the case.

You're Jacob's dad, aren't you?

That's right.

So how well did you know
Ben? Was he a friend?

Yeah, I guess.

[ANDY] Tell us about him.

He was okay.

Can you be a little more specific?

He was nice.

[DUFFY] Anything else?

I don't know. No, not really.

Can you think of anyone that would've
had a reason to wanna hurt Ben?

I don't think so. No.

What about people Ben didn't like?

I don't know. I mean, nobody
likes everybody, right?

Wait, are you Jacob Barber's dad?

Can you think of anyone who might
have a reason to wanna hurt Ben?

- No.
- No.

No.

Did Ben say anything to you

that made you think he
might be in trouble?

In trouble?

In trouble? How?

Did Ben ever say anything
to you to make you think

he might be in trouble?

No.

- No.
- No.

No.

Was Ben acting differently at all
the week that this happened?

- I don't know.
- I don't think so.

Never said anything about anyone
following him, anyone bothering him?

Mm-mmm.

- No.
- Wait, are you Jacob Barber's dad?

Is there anything else you
think we should know?

- No.
- Not really. No.

- About Ben?
- About anything.

No.

Well, thanks for talking
with us. This is my card.

It has all my information if
you need to get in touch.

- Okay.
- Okay.

If anything else occurs to you,
even if you think it's nothing...

Like if I heard something?

Exactly. Wait, did you hear something?

No.

Just, you know.

No, we don't.

Can I go now?

- Can I go now?
- Can I go now?

[PHONE BUZZES]

Let me know what I miss.

So is there anything else you
want to tell me about Ben?

- [DUFFY] Yeah, send it over.
- [DOOR OPENS]

- Okay.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

Well, you have both our cards.

If you think of anything else,
please feel free to call anytime.

The cop who came to our class
said there was a tip line.

Just in case we wanted to say
something anonymously or whatever.

That's right.

Is there something you want to tell us?

No, I was just wondering.

I know your son, Jacob.

Oh, yeah? You guys friends?

I guess so. Well, not exactly.
But, I mean, we know each other.

Have you talked to Jacob about this?

About Ben?

Why do you ask?

Sarah.

Must have been some
reason you asked that.

I was just asking. Really.

Well, if you think of anything else...

[DOOR SHUTS]

[SIGHS]

What the hell? Were you following me?

What did you tell them?

None of your business.
I'm late for class.

[ANDY] We're no better off
than we were yesterday.

These kids are like mafiosos.

- What's this?
- Just came in.

Leonard Patz. Indecent A&B on a minor,

lewd and lascivious, indecent
A&B on a minor pending.

He's 36 years old,

lives near the park in
that condo, the Windsor,

or whatever they call it.

Why didn't we know about him before?

He moved to Newton in the
last year. Never registered.

One of the ADAs in the child
abuse unit flagged him.

- That's the "pending."
- What did he do?

Grabbed a kid's package
at the public library.

Kid was 15. Only a year
older than Ben Rifkin.

He groped a kid and got
out on a personal?

Apparently there was some question
about the kid's testimony.

[ANDY] We should bring him in.

Keep in mind, the Rifkin kid had
no signs of sexual assault.

If we bring this guy in without
something tying him to the case...

[ANDY] Right.

He'll lawyer up.

I know you're under a lot of pressure,
but if you play this wrong,

you could lose your one
chance to talk to him.

Let me sleep on it.

[MALE REPORTER] So you're saying
there's been little to no progress?

[LYNN] That's not at
all what I'm saying.

Look, everyone in this
community deserves answers.

And Assistant District
Attorney Andrew Barber

is pursuing a number of leads.

And I can assure you, a suspect
will be apprehended soon.

[MALE REPORTER] That was Middlesex
County District Attorney Lynn...

[RADIO OFF]

[RABBI RECITING THE MOURNER'S KADDISH]

[MAN WHISPERS] Isn't that Andy Barber?

[RECITATION CONTINUES]

[WOMAN WHISPERS]
The district attorney...

[MAN 2] I wonder if he has news.

[RECITATION CONTINUES]

- Andy.
- Ian, hi.

- Man, how fucked up is this?
- Very.

So, how's it going with the case?
What do we know so far?

Would you excuse me for one second?
I just have to find my wife.

- Do we have a suspect?
- Sorry. Just...

[CHATTERING]

Toby.

She's over there. Mothering the mothers.

[WOMAN] Dylan said they set
up an online community thing.

- Hi, Andy.
- Hi.

[WOMAN 2] Do you know who did this yet?

Any news about the case?

[WOMAN 3] How did the
interviews at Archer go?

Sorry, I'm just gonna steal
Laurie for one minute.

- Excuse us, just a second.
- Sure.

What are you doing?

Do you have your car here?

No, I came with Toby. I figured
you'd drive Jacob and me home.

- Jacob's here too?
- Yeah, somewhere.

Okay. Listen, I think I'm gonna go.

What? You just got here.

No, I shouldn't have come to begin with.

It was a mistake. Trust me.

Okay. But I think I need
to stay a little longer.

Toby can drive me back.
You can take Jacob with you.

Okay.

- I'll see ya in a while.
- All right.

[GIRL] My mom made me dress up.

Yeah.

[GIRL 2] Your hair looks so pretty.

[GIRL 3] Thank you. I wish I had
my phone to take a picture...

Hey. Ready to go?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Did you bring your coat?

Uh, Mom put it upstairs with hers.

Okay. I'll find it. Meet
me at the front door.

[CHATTERING CONTINUES]

[RECITATION CONTINUES]

[MAN] Andy?

Thought that was you.

Forgive me. I've been
hiding out up here.

No, no, it's...

I don't want to intrude. I'm sorry.

No, no, no. Please. Come in. Sit.

Sit.

Any, uh, news? Since yesterday, I mean?

We should know more soon.
Everyone's working around the clock.

I always loved his room.

Joan can't bring herself to come
in here, but I can't help it.

I'm in here all the time.
[CLEARS THROAT]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[SNIFFLES] Where you from, Andy?

Me? East Hartford.

- Connecticut, right?
- Yeah.

It's a rough area, isn't it?

Can be.

Joan and I grew up in a
suburb of Baltimore.

High school sweethearts.

It's a town a lot like
this one, to be honest.

Maybe that's why we moved here.

Felt familiar.

Safe.

Boring but safe.

Listen, Dan...

[SOBBING]

I'm so sorry. I'm...

[SOBS] I'm fuckin' untethered here, man.

Hey. You have every right to be.

The thing I can't get past...

is why did this guy do it?

- Dan, I don't think it's a good idea...
- No. Just, please, please.

Ben was good.

He was so good.

Who could feel that kind
of rage against him?

I mean, tell me what
separates these people?

I wish I knew.

[SIGHS]

Your son, Jacob. I-I've
seen him around town.

Seems like a nice boy. You and
Laurie must be really proud.

We are.

There's nothing you wouldn't do for
him, nothing in the world, right?

Yeah. Right.

[SNIFFLES]

[ANDY] Hey, come on. We agreed,
no phone when I'm driving.

Makes me feel like a chauffeur.

Sorry.

So you got all your homework done?

Yeah. Mom made me finish
Catcher in the Rye.

Even though it's not due
till, like, next week.

What'd you think?

Uh, it was pretty good, I guess.

- You know the deal with his name?
- Who? J.D. Salinger?

No, uh, Holden Caulfield.
The kid from the book.

Ms. Sprung says it's symbolic.

So, like, the name "Holden" is
supposed to be like, "hold in."

And, uh, "caul" is another
name for a womb.

And "field" is like the field
of rye from the poem.

Huh. Never thought about that.

I don't know. It's kind
of annoying actually.

I feel like all the books she gives us,

they always have these, like,
metaphors and similes and symbols

that you're supposed to figure out,
but it's just, like, who cares?

Just tell the freaking story.

Why do you need all
these layers to decode?

Just say what you mean.

You got a point.

Right? I don't know. It just bugs me.

The book is right about one thing
though. How phony most people are.

I remember that about it.

It's like even tonight.

You thought people were
being phony tonight?

Some. Yeah.

Kids especially.

I'm not saying they're not upset,

but it's like they're acting

the way they think
they're supposed to act.

Like they've seen in movies or whatever.

You know what I mean?

Yeah. I do, actually.

And nobody's gonna call them out on it,

'cause then you look like a jerk.

Did you get to eat anything back there?

Just a little.

So the doctor gives him
one of those, um...

Uh...

It's like a plastic
cup with a lid on it.

- Like a-a canister?
- Yeah.

All right. So the doctor
gives him a canister,

says, "Come back tomorrow
with a semen sample."

- Buddy.
- So the old man, he goes home,

comes back the next day
with an empty canister.

The old man says, "Listen, Doc,

first I tried with my right
hand, and it didn't work.

Then I tried with my left hand,
and it still didn't work.

Then my wife tried it with her
right hand, and it didn't work."

Seriously?

"She tried with her
left hand, didn't work.

So then she called over the neighbor,

the neighbor tried with her right hand,

still didn't work.

Then she tried with her left hand,

but no matter what, we could
not get this damn cap off."

- All right.
- There you go.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- That was good.
- Enjoy.

That was good. That got me.
I didn't see that coming.

[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

I'm exhausted. I'm going up.

- Okay.
- You?

Yeah, a couple minutes.

- Night, honey.
- Night.

Hey, I wake you?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah. Yeah, I wanna bring him in.

I am.

Okay. Thanks, Duff.
