You couldn't live
on either of them.

They can't support life.

Well, I'd still pick Pluto.

It's my favorite planet.

Pluto isn't a planet, Dad.

It's a trans-Neptunian object.

It'll always be a planet to me.

Housekeeping.

Housekeeping.

What the hell?

Don't you see
the disturb time on the door?

I'm-- I'm sorry, sir.
I knocked several times.

Check your records.

I said, "one o'clock,
late check out."

- It's three o'clock now.
- Whoa.

I-- I'll leave
when I'm ready to leave.

By the way,
there's no bath towel

in the closet that's promised
in the brochure.

Can you just
do your job right, huh?

But maybe you want to join me
in the bathroom

We could clean each other, huh?

Hey, those fingers taste good?

My dad's gonna be
here in a second.

You want a ride home?

My mom will be here soon.

I got a good grade
on my math test.

My dad's gonna
get me a new phone.

You got a 67 in math.
That's almost failing.

Almost failing is still passing.

Want to hang out next week?

- We're moving to Cliftonburg.
- Really?

Cliftonburg sucks.

I don't think
my mom will let me go there.

See you, Kevin.

Hope you don't get murdered
in Cliftonburg.

Hey, that kind of rhymes.

Hey, bud. Sorry I'm late.

Ready?

How'd it go today?

- Hi.
- Hi.

May I? Please.

So you used to work at a bank?

Uh, yes,
Spring Glen Community Bank.

And you're okay
with the odd hours?

The website said early mornings.

Right, like starting
around four.

- 4:00 a.m.?
- Yes.

So it looks like

you haven't had
a job in a while.

Do you think you can adapt
to having a job again?

Um, well, some of my strengths,

I've been a full-time mom
to an autistic child

for the past eight years.

No weekends,
no holidays, no friends,

no colleagues, no reward system
to motivate me.

It's not on my resume,

but I am more capable
of high-intensity work

than you can imagine.

The more demanding, the better.

I need this job.

Thanks. We'll...

we'll take all that
under consideration.

Thank you. That's all I ask.

I appreciate you coming in.

Thanks.

Next, please!

Hey, Cory. Uh, I know.

I'm sorry. I'm running behind.

I'll be right there.

Oh! I'm sorry I'm late!
Are you okay?

Are you okay? Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

I'm home. I'm home. I'm home.

I'm home. I'm home. I'm home.

Mommy's sorry.
It's okay, it's okay!

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm home,
everything's gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

No, no, I'll be there.

I'll be there.

Mom!

Are you okay?

I'll be there.

Mom! You have a fever!

Kevin?

- Is that you?
- Yes, it's me.

You have a bunch of missed calls

from the school and the motel.

All right, all right.

All right. Okay.

Yeah, let's, uh...

Okay, let's go.

Well, here's our new home.

Come on.

Simon says Cliftonburg sucks.

Well, Simon doesn't know
what he's talking about.

I'm sorry, bud.

It is what it is.

It doesn't feel
the same without Dad.

Kevin?

Do you know where
the insurance papers are?

Kevin?

Kevin?

Kevin!

You can't play with fire!

I'm not playing.
I know what I'm doing.

Were you trying to
burn yourself?

Yes.

Why?

Because I wanted to see
what Dad felt.

I just moved in next door
and your music is so loud

I can't even hear myself think.

Oh, think, think, think.

I-- I...

Look, I am working.
It's for my job.

Is your job
to keep your neighbors up?

No, and I don't care.

You-- you think--

I-- I am-- I am here,
I am creating.

I paid for this space,

Honey?

It's been over a year
and you haven't settled

my husband's policy.

Oh, it's complicated.

Um...

Okay, where did I put that file?

We moved from our family home
in a good school district

to a smaller place
and I can't even afford that.

I don't want to have
to get a lawyer, but--

Oh, no, no, no,
no need to get a lawyer.

Oh, it's right here,

right where it should have been,
you know?

You know,
that's not-- it's never--

things are
never where they should be.

Okay, so, um...

Oh.

This is where the problem is.

Um, your husband's policy

has been sent upstairs
for review.

Not l-- not literally upstairs,
but figuratively up to,

you know, the people
that do this sort of thing.

What sort of thing?

Well, deal with irregularities.

What kind of irregularities?

Oh, well, you know,
the kind that, um...

Uh, I, uh, I really can't say.

Mr. Kale...

my husband died
in a lab explosion.

He paid premiums
to you people for years,

so that his family
would be taken care of.

I guess
the jury's out on this one.

What are you talking about?

Do you think he killed himself?

It's just that they have
to clear certain exclusions

before they approve the payout.

Exclusions?

Yeah, you know, suicide and...

substance abuse and, you know,
illegal activity.

Hey, neighbor. Need any help?

All right.

If you need some help
with those higher ones,

I used to play basketball
in high school.

I can-- I can jump pretty high.

I can't dunk or anything,
but, you know,

I can at least touch the net.

All right?

These plants
look a little droopy.

Usually means overwatering.

It's like when the...

the roots lose
their oxygen and then, uh...

- Rebecca.
- Hi.

Look who decided to show up.

- Hi, guys.
- I knew it.

- Ow.
- I told you she'd come.

You happen to bring
any of those spare ribs

you always brought for Ron?

Oh. Sorry, Ed.

I didn't.

All right.

Hey, guys, look.
Lily brought us a pizza.

Here's one.

All right. Thank you.

You got it.

I should probably do
small bites of this.

Come here. I got it.

- Here you go.
- All right.

All right. Thank you.

You got it.

Timeout.

Something like this
is still good.

I know this is
a tough situation.

It'll get better soon.

You do enough.

You paid for all this
by selling your house.

We're all very grateful.

I had to sell that house anyway.

Ron gave his life
trying to save us.

Yeah.

He kept me going, too.

What happened that night?

There's something fishy
going on there.

I'm just saying.

Police, detectives,
they all came and talked to us.

We told them what we think.

Fire doesn't move
that way normally.

Someone was behind it.

They had the CSI people
come and look at the scene.

It was a faulty cylinder.

Even the equipment
company confirmed it.

I know what I saw.

All right, now.

Just because
you don't trust anybody

doesn't mean
you're smarter than everyone.

I'm going to figure it out.

I am.

I promise you.

Oh, Mrs. Xu,

uh, your husband's case
has been closed.

It's nothing we didn't expect.

The cylinder was defective
and the fire spread too rapidly.

Detective Callava,

the insurance company said
it's still under review.

I don't know anything about
your insurance company.

We are not involved
in their process.

You need to tell them
it's closed.

They're still investigating

for suicide
and illegal activity.

They have the right to conduct
their own investigation.

- This is ridiculous.
- Lily, please.

Why-- why are there
even two investigations?

I mean, this was
supposed to be simple.

Did you even look through
everything properly?

Trust me,
when someone passes away

in a situation like this,
there is always due diligence.

The fire marshal did
a thorough investigation.

We talked to everybody.

We went to the scene
and looked at everything.

Then if you're so sure about it,
you need to tell them.

Tell them that my husband
didn't kill himself.

I could, but I can't make them
give you that money.

You'll have to take it to court.

Do you think I can afford
a lawyer right now?

I'm sorry, there's nothing else
that I can do.

I'll do this myself.

You'll be hearing from me.

Kevin, do you remember
your dad's password?

Kevin, do you hear me?

"Plutoisaplanet9".

All in one word
with Pluto capitalized

and nine as in numerical nine.

Thanks, buddy.

All right.

You know, there's also
a meteor shower we could see

really clear
if we head out to the desert.

It's starting in two weeks.

Maybe we can go check it out?

Mom, if we don't see them now,
we'll never see them.

Sorry.

Was I too loud?

Listen, I think
we got off to a bad start.

I'm Marty.

Um...

I brought you a pie.

You might have to take
the sticker off of it, though.

It's...

Um, listen, uh...

...I, um,

I'm sorry for being such a jerk.

I, um, I had
a little too much that night,

and really wasn't acting myself.

So, uh, yeah, sorry.

I'm Lily.

Good night, Lily.

I'm sorry,
but there's no record

of the patent application
you're asking about.

Are you sure?

It would have been filed
in May of last year.

If it's not under Xu Medical,

it could be under Dr. Ronald Xu.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

According to our records,
nothing was filed.

Well, what about
Pastmore Laboratories?

Can you check under that?

Give me a moment.

- Ma'am?
- Yes, yes, yes, I'm here.

The last patent filing
for Pastmore

was on May 15th of last year.

Can I get
a copy of that application?

Are you Dr. Sean Morgan?

Dr. Sean Morgan is the contact.

- No.
- Are you with Pastmore?

Technically not.

Well, you must be
a party to the filing

to request a copy,
or wait two months

from the date of acceptance
when it's made public.

Okay.

Um, thank you for your help.

Thank you for contacting
the United States
Patent Office.

Have a nice day.

Hello?

I'm so sorry to bother you,
but I had to take a call outside

because my aunt had a stroke,
and when I came back,

I couldn't find him anywhere.

Can you come home right now?

I'm not really sure
what happened.

Kevin!

Kevin!

Oh, my gosh.

Dad's flower is gone.

I got a flower
for him last week,

and now it's gone.

Remember, darling,

don't fall
for your dad's stories.

Don't let them affect you.

You're still young,
and he's not our kind of people.

Mom, how many times
do you have to say that?

You know, in my heart,
he's a very good dad.

Okay?

You're so annoying.

I got it.

Marty.

How are you?

I'm doing solid.

You, uh, want to come in?

No, I think
I'm-- I'm good right here.

All right, well,
Chloe should be down any second.

Hey...

our pool shed
needs a new paint job.

I got other people
that I'm talking to,

but you are on the list,
my friend.

Well, thank you,
but I'm actually a lot busier

than you think right now.

How's the little
music thing going?

It's going great, man.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Yeah, just doing a score
for an independent film.

It's a rom-com and, uh, um,

a Viagra commercial,
of all things.

Good for you, buddy.

Good for you.

Um, listen, I'm just gonna
hang out by the trucks.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- You're early.
- Well, can't I be early?

Listen, ever since
we started with visitations,

she has got a weird attitude.

Okay, that's not true.

I mean, she's just a teenager.

Why are you always looking at me
like I'm a bad influence?

Just have her home by 8:00.

And no drinks.

Oh, thank you for the reminder.

At least I'm not
the one who's too busy for her.

- Hey, baby girl.
- I'm not a baby.

Yeah.

At least I got it half-right.

- Come on.
- 8:00 p.m., got it?

And clean up your damn truck.

Every time I come here,
I remember why I left.

Not you, not you.

There you go.

Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
Let me get that.

- Still not a baby.
- Hey, yes.

Get up there.

Watch your head.

Still not a baby,
I'm sure, yeah.

You hungry?

- A little.
- Yeah.

I got us some burgers.

Thanks, Dad.
You know what I like.

Oh, I brought your scooter, too.

Whoa, I can fly now.

Absolutely, I'm sure you will.

Let's fly. Oh, yeah.

- Remember this?
- I love this song.

Yeah.

Hey, hey.

You having fun?

Yeah.

Yeah, you were flying
on that thing.

It goes so fast.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- It's my favorite.
- I know.

Hmm.

- This is great.
- How's school?

It's good.

I got a family tree
that I'm working on.

- When is it due?
- Not for another month.

Ah.

I like hanging out.

I want to spend
more time with you.

- But Mom--
- Yeah, yeah.

Look, I'm really trying to
find some time to...

see you more.

Are you still drinking?

Why don't you quit?

Uh, I'm trying.

You don't have to lie.

N-- not to me.

I'm sorry
for letting you down, sweetie.

You're not letting me down.

Just don't give up so easily.

You've got this.
You're a big man.

Come on.

So smart.

- This is really good.
- So good.

I'm sorry about your husband.

Labs can be
very dangerous places.

We're very careful
here for that,

just for that very reason.

So, Mrs. Xu,
what can I help you with today?

I had a couple of questions
regarding your burn treatment.

- Ignisidine.
- Mm-hmm.

- You have a patent for it?
- Yes, we do.

I heard about it from some of
Ron's former patients.

Hmm.

It seems like...

it was really similar
to what Ron was working on.

It's likely the same thing.

Um, you know, there's probably
over 100 patent applications

for every drug,
and we all know each other.

Sadly, it's the...

...nature of the business.

I was wondering
if I could get a copy

of that patent application.

I'm trying to get
my husband's affairs in order,

and that drug was
a really big part of his life

before he passed.

You don't have
a copy of his application?

Most of his documents
were at the lab.

I see.

Mrs. Xu, I'm sure
you understand that

these things
are very confidential.

Perhaps you should speak with
who managed his application.

Sorry to interrupt.

Jordan Labs has the report
they need you to sign.

Uh, thanks, David.

I am, um...

I'm going to have to get going,
but a-- again,

I am very sorry
about what happened to Ron.

Thank you.

David will see you out.

Hi, Angela, it's Lily,
Ron's wife.

I know it's been a while,

but I really need to
talk to you,

so you can call me back
on this number, okay?

Thank you.

- Boo!
- Oh, shit!

Oh, God, you scared me.

- Oh.
- You said "shit."

Yeah, I did. Sorry.

You know what Mom would say?

Hmm.

This is pretty cool, huh?

Ah, it's nice to see me
not all covered in paint.

Listen, uh...

- What's this?
- It's for your rent.

I can't use it anyways.

Sweetie, no.

No, no, I-- I--
I-- I can't take this.

Hey, this is your allowance.

You buy something
that you want, okay?

I want a tablet...

but they're really expensive.

And besides,
Mom wouldn't let me have one

because...

it would be
too distracting for me.

And she wants me to focus on
my academic classes.

What kind of tablet?

It's a drawing tablet
for illustrating.

I want you to remember
something for me.

Whatever you want
in this life...

you go for it.

Okay?

Just apply yourself
and just be you,

but be the most awesome
version of you.

Okay?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Um, you wanted to show me
your school project, right?

Oh, yeah.

So...

I still need to work
on this speech,

and so basically,
I already wrote down

all of the things I know about
my parents' ancestry.

But for this part,
I don't know who they are,

but I found this.

Wow.

It's your grandmother.

Carol Ann?

Yeah.

Oh, this is incredible.

I love this.

Yeah.

Hey, Mom?

Yeah, buddy?

Can I get a telescope?

Uh, don't you already have one?

I have a microscope.

I don't know if we can swing
a telescope, buddy.

What about a corgi?

They're very cute puppies.

They have big butts.

We can name it Dollar.

I know it's not possible.

But I wanted to ask.

Ron was a wonderful person.

I know it must have been
very difficult to lose him.

I helped him
with several patents

over the last couple of years.

I just wish
we had gotten together

over different circumstances.

I appreciate
you meeting with me.

It's just...

something about that night...

nothing about the fire
makes sense.

I understand it's very difficult
to deal with a death...

especially an accident
like that.

But that's the thing.

I don't think
it was an accident.

Oh?

I don't have any hard evidence,

but I remember he...

just seemed really off
the night he died.

And I know Pastmore
was competing for a patent,

and I thought maybe
I could find some clues there.

Well, it makes complete sense.

Wow.

Oh, I'm sorry.

This is a lot, isn't it?

No, no, no, I-- I understand.

You-- you know,
you need to talk about it.

You know, I-- I do have

some of Ron's
archive documents in my storage.

Maybe I could get them,
bring them over?

Maybe that would help somehow.

I'd appreciate that.

Losing someone is really awful.

Better days are ahead, Lily.

I promise.

I-- I just hope
you'll consider me.

I'm-- I'm a good guy, you know?

Uh, you won't hear me
come and go a lot.

I'm like a ninja.

A cat ninja.

Really quiet.

You know, it's hard to believe

because it's the end
of the night,

but I-- I-- I swear,

I'm usually very quiet,
pretty quiet.

Um, and I can-- I can help out
a lot, you know?

Um, I fix up stuff.

Free of charge, of course.

Totally free.

And obviously you won't have to
worry about your son at all.

I can pick him up
from school even, you know?

How about we start
with babysitting

for one week
and see how it goes?

Sure, yeah. That...

sounds great.

- He's a great kid.
- Cool.

He's autistic, just so you know.

But he's really mature
for his age.

- How old is he?
- He just turned nine.

Wow, nine.

I have, uh,
I have a 13-year-old.

- A teenager?
- Yeah.

I didn't know you had a kid.

Well, she lives with her mother,

but I have her every other week.

I-- I hope that's okay if...

you know...

Oh, uh...

yeah, yeah, I don't see why not.

Great.

Tomorrow's my day off,
so you can start on Thursday.

Copy that.

I really hope this works out.

I have a good feeling about it.

Okay.

Kevin!

Hi. Good morning.

Hi.

What's the matter?

You seem...

Oh, no, uh, I'm fine.

I'm just...

- ah, I'm just tired.
- Hmm.

So, shall we sit down and talk?

Yes, yes, please.

So the patent
was never actually filed?

No, I think he was worried about
filing it and having it stolen.

I think he thought
if he held on to it,

he might have a better chance

at getting it through
at a later time.

Uh, but...

...but
that doesn't make any sense.

He was so excited about it,

about all of it,
about getting it all done.

I think
he was really just worried

that someone
was going to steal it.

I can keep looking.

Hey, buddy.

This is Angela, Dad's, uh--

uh, Mom's friend.

I got something for you.

Come on.

Careful.

- It's the galaxy, Mom.
- Wow.

- What do you say?
- Thank you.

It also glows.

Wow.

He loves space.
How did you know?

Ron.

Go play.

He is such a-- a cute kid.

Yeah. Thanks.

There's also this.

You said that things
were getting tough.

Oh. I can't take this.

Listen, there's been
times in my past

when people have helped me out.

Now it's my turn
to pay it forward.

Reimburse the universe.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Uh, this next song
is probably one of my favorites.

It's a song that I wrote
a long time ago

when my little baby girl was...

just a little baby.

Uh, this is
for my daughter Chloe.

What is it now?

So, um,
I got the powers that be

to agree to offer you...

$20,000.

The policy limit is $5 million.

Policy limit?

You-- you sound like
a lawyer now.

Which, of course, you're not.

- Neither are you.
- Okay,

uh, Mrs. Xu, look,
your case is a loser.

All it's gonna do
is make you spend money.

And if you take the money now,

you know, you could, um...

you could avoid
some heartache, and,

you know, I could just show you
that I am--

I'm such a good friend,

and I'm always gonna be

I'm gonna go back to my bosses,

and I'm gonna ask them

$25,000.

You know, it's-- it's, uh,
it's just a small amount, but...

what do you say?

I'll take my chances
with the judge.

Hey! Hey!

And golden brown, pop.

- Not so bad, is it?
- Nope.

I'll show you
waffles tomorrow.

- Hi, boys.
- Hey.

Mom, I had a weird dream.

Um, there's
some bagels right there

if you can't stay for pancakes.

What was, uh,
your dream about, bud?

This giant bird
flew into our house.

Really? Wow.

It was
a bunch of different colors.

Mmm.

It flew into it
and laid an egg and took off.

Uh, but the house
was totally safe.

Everyone's okay.

Mmm, well,
that's all that matters.

I love you, Kev.
I'll see you guys later.

Hey, uh, I made you
a couple things for lunch.

Thanks.

Okay, number eight.

You never would have thought.

Who would have known?

- Let's see if it works.
- Well, let's see.

Wow. Uh...

Oh, um, I can order pizza.

Okay, good, good girl.

Um...

shall we?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

All right, no illegal
card games or dog fights, okay?

Okay.

He passed away a year ago.

There was a fire.

Oh, man.

Sometimes it's really hard...

not to feel alone.

That sounds like a lot.

Uh, enough about my baggage.

Um, what about you?

- What about me?
- Hmm.

You mean,
where did it all go wrong?

Um, I don't know.
Uh, typical story.

Uh, she got pregnant with Chloe.

I didn't even
really know her that well.

Didn't take long
to realize that...

it was all a big mistake.

Even now, you know, we're still
fighting over joint custody.

Well, at least you have Chloe.

Some of the time, anyway.

Yeah.

She's a good girl.

Yeah.

So...

you are a musician.

I'm trying to be.

I went to music school, and, um,

even though my parents hated it,

I'm glad I did.

It was...

it was good.

It was-- you know, I used to
busk on the streets for fun.

Oh!

Full disclosure,
I actually did it again

very recently,
like two days ago.

But, um--
and it was still fun, you know.

I-- I-- I-- it made me happy.

And-- and that's what
I want for Chloe, you know.

Like, to show her
that life can be fun,

not just-- not just so heavy.

Mm-hmm.

I think that's one
of the main reasons why

I got back into music.

Is everything okay?

Hmm?

You here?

Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry. Yeah, I'm fine.

Who wouldn't like
the handsome musician

who also happens
to be great with my son?

You're just
a leather jacket away

from being the man of my dreams.

Wow.

I guess I'll have to go out
and get myself a leather jacket.

Salud.

Your dad is nice.

You're lucky you have him.

I'm sorry about your dad.

Really.

I'm making this for him.

Wherever he is,
it must be a beautiful place.

So he should have a beautiful
new office to work in.

He can look up
and over the town from it.

I think it looks really nice.

Thank you.

- You're sure you don't want any?
- No.

Whoa. Everything okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

I don't want you
to think I'm crazy,

but I keep seeing the same car.

It wasn't that one,
uh, but one like it.

A black sedan
with a dent in the door.

I think
it might be following me.

Why would someone
be following you?

It all started
when I was looking

into the whole thing
with Pastmore Labs.

This car drove right up to me
and almost hit me one time.

Pastmore, that's your
husband's competition?

Yeah.

- I sound paranoid.
- No, no.

I mean, you are under
so much stress right now and--

and there are
a lot of cars with dents

in Los Angeles.

True.

Besides, um, I just wanted you

to have this
stress-free evening tonight.

Hey.

I had
a really great time tonight.

Me too.

Mm.

Hey. So I need a favor.

Can I please have Sunday off?

I got Delilah to cover for me.

It's gonna be tough.
We're short-staffed.

I need you both.

It's important.

It's Mother's Day.

Listen, Lily.

The owner's not gonna be happy,

uh, when I tell him
you left us short-staffed.

Yeah?

He's also not going to be happy

when I send him a video of you

taking towels and toilet paper
home from here every week.

Fine.

- But only this once.
- Thank you.

Oh, and by the way...

if you ever touch me again,

I'll break your arm.

Yeah, no,
I'm sorry I got sidetracked.

I'm just...

You mind finishing
the rest of that wall for me?

Oh, thanks, Bear.

Yeah, man,
I really appreciate it.

Bye, man.
I'll talk to you later. Okay.

What the--

What the hell's wrong
with you, man?

You're right in the middle
of the sidewalk.

- I'm sorry. My bad. I just--
- You drunk? Is that what it is?

Wait, I know you.

That's tough when you find out

your-- your girl ain't exactly
who you think she is.

Uh,
I think you got the wrong guy.

I don't think you know me.

Uh, your lady
ain't who you think she is.

I'm telling you.
Let-- let's just say...

I'm one of her
favorite customers, man.

She always leaves me
so satisfied, like, whoa.

Take it easy.

Crazy.

Come on.

No.

I'm one of her favorite
customers, so...

I mean, she always
leaves me super satisfied.

I think he likes it.
I think he likes it. Oh.

Hmm.

Hi.

Play something nice for me.

What's wrong?

- Called you at lunch.
- I know.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Um, Kevin's asleep.

I'm gonna go home.
I got an early job tomorrow.

Really?

It's Mother's Day tomorrow.

We still have plans, right?

Family time?

Family time.

No, I don't--
I don't know about that.

- Hey.
- Leave me alone!

No, I don't want
any part of this.

Whatever you got going on.

I'm sorry I didn't answer, okay?

I-- I had-- I had
to visit some friends.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I heard.

What?

Is that how you make your money?

What are you talking about?

Uh, this guy
on the street outside,

he said he was one of
your most special customers.

- What does that mean?
- What are you talking about?

Hi, this is Chloe.

Please leave a message.
Thank you.

I can't believe
what you're saying.

- ...
- Hey!

- Get out!
- I'm going.

You're drunk! Get the-- get out!

- I'm out of here!
- Get out of my house!

How dare you
speak to me like that?

Thank you.

Dad?

What the hell
are you doing here?

Something's up with Kevin.

There's something's up
with this whole damn family.

Jus-- Here. Come on.
Get in the car.

- Come with me. Let's go.
- No. Something's wrong.

Dad!

Where are you going?

Chloe?

What are you doing here?

What happened?

Kevin's gone.

I think he tried to call me,
but I missed it.

What?

Chloe!

I have to find Kevin!

Chloe!

Kevin!

I'm so sorry to bother you.

Have you seen a little boy?

He's, uh, about this tall,
maybe in pajamas?

No. Sorry.

Kevin!

Chloe?

Angela, Kevin is gone.

I need your help. Can you come?

Dad?

I wrote a lot of letters to you.

I had a dream.

They all went to the moon.

The moon with all my letters,
you know.

They're waiting for you.

I think about you all the time.

I miss you so much.

Kevin.

Hey.

Your mom's worried about you.

We-- we have
to get you back home.

But I don't want to go back.

Hey. It's okay.

We can talk about it later.
Just get on my back.

It's okay.

Lily, get in.

Kevin!

Oh, my gosh. Hey.

He was at the cemetery.

Wow.

He's okay.

- He's home now.
- Oh.

- Chloe, you're bleeding!
- I'm fine. I'm fine.

Let me help you
take care of this.

Angela.
Angela, can you take Kevin?

Buddy. Buddy, [indistinct].

I'll be right back.

Chloe, come with me
to the kitchen.

Let's take care of this.

Ready?

Okay. Okay.

How'd you get here, Chloe?

An Uber.

Uh, I missed Kevin's call.

Do you know
what happened with my dad?

Um...

we had a misunderstanding.

I hope you guys work it out.

He really is
a good person, and...

with a good heart.

I'm sorry.

We were both just...

frustrated.

He's still angry.

- Thank you, but I have to go.
- Yeah, go. Go.

You okay?

Yeah?

Poor kids.

No one can ever
take the place of your dad.

You know that, right?

I'm a crappy mom.

No.

You're not.

It-- it's just different.

We don't spend
as much time as we did before.

I made a bunch
of letters to dad.

That's why I went
to the cemetery.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

We always ignore...

the people closest to us.

Just give me another chance.

Kevin, I know it's hard to
imagine life without your dad...

but your mom loves you.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I'm gonna make
all your wishes come true.

Thank you for being there for me
when I need you.

Come over any time.

You're family now.

Hey, I'm, uh...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about, uh,
the way I acted earlier.

I...

You know what?

I'm so proud of you.

No, seriously, what-- what
you did for Kevin back there,

that was-- that was amazing.

I always say I'm proud of you.

Maybe next time I can record it.

Sure, why not?

Ah.

- I love you, Dad.
- I love you.

Fix things with Lily, okay?

Davies Specialty Insurance.

How may I direct your call?

Hi, this is Lily Xu.

I was wondering if I could--

Hello?

Hello?

Your phone number

cannot connect to this line.

Please try again later.

Hello,
Davies Specialty Insurance.

This is Lily Xu.
Don't you dare hang up on me--

Did you already pack
the speakers?

They're sold.

Why?

Where's the keyboard?

Needed to go.

You sold that too?

That was my favorite.

Well, you can do a lot more

with a tablet

than I can do with those.

A tablet?

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Are you sure
you want to move away?

I found a much better place.

The truth is I need it.

For you.

What about Lily? Kevin?

I definitely owe her an apology.

You know,
she's-- she's a great lady,

but the truth is we, uh--

well, we don't even know
each other that well.

Probably...

rushed things a little too fast.

Remember this?

- Do you remember the words?
- Yeah.

You remember this?
You were like five years old.

Of course I remember it.

I lied.

The meteor shower
was over weeks ago.

Maybe we'll get a shooting star,

but there's no more
meteor shower.

I just wanted
some time with you.

No rushing school or work.

Just us hanging out.

There's too much light here.

I'm gonna get away
from the fire.

Look!

Maybe it's a sign.

Dad is watching us.

- Can I tell you something?
- Of course.

Right now,

I know why the meteor shower
is so beautiful.

Because it's filled
with your tears.

What's that?

It's the observatory.

Dad said he was going to take me
to the thing at the observatory.

There was
a special presentation.

He said it would make me think.

Sorry you didn't get to go.

Maybe if we went,
dad would still be alive.

What do you mean?

We were supposed to go
the night he died.

Don't you remember?

I was out of town.

That night
he got called in to work.

Wait.

Wh-- what do you mean?

Dad was at work the entire day.

He was at home.
And someone called.

Said it was an emergency.

What? Who?

I don't remember.

Here you go.

the gate.

- Hey, hold on.
- What?

Stay close to me.

Angela. Angela, my house.

- What?
- My house. We've been robbed.

Call the police
and come to my place right now.

I'm-- I'm--
yeah, I'm going to do it now.

I'm going to do it now.

Okay.

I'm-- I'm so sorry.

I-- I didn't mean to scare you.

What do you want, Marty?

I-- I-- I want to apologize.

For-- for the other night, I...

I-- I-- I know
you're going through a lot,

and-- and me acting
like a stupid jerk

doesn't help.

I-- I messed up.
I messed up. I...

And we-- we don't have
to go out or whatever, but...

I would like to be your friend.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you think they'll let us look
through the 100-inch telescope?

I don't know.

I think that's reserved for
the cosmetologist.

Cosmologist.

Cosmetologist work
on makeup and stuff.

Well,
two very important jobs.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- You look great.
- Thank you. I feel great.

We're going to
the observatory today.

- Can you come with us?
- No, sorry, but I can't.

I have some very important
business to take care of today.

Lily, are you going
to take that settlement?

No.

As a matter of fact, I'm going
to head to Pastmore Labs.

I'm going to get a copy of
that patent filing,

and then I'm going to sue them.

Look--

I'm not waiting anymore for
somebody to do the right thing.

Lily.

Eat your breakfast.

Lily, I really think
you need to reconsider this.

They could hurt you
or, God forbid, Kevin.

If they're half as bad
as you say they are,

you don't want
to mess with them.

I've already spoken to
a lawyer this morning.

She agreed
to take my case on contingency.

She's putting
Pastmore on notice.

And she's also going to talk
to the district attorney

about investigating them.

I doubt that will scare them.

Everybody is going to know
what they did.

- Don't worry about me.
- I'm really worried.

Bye, Kev.
I'll see you later, okay?

Bye, Mom. Have a good day.

I'm going to have
a great day.

- Good morning. Can I help you?
- Yes.

Is there a problem
with your bathroom?

I don't know what you mean.

I don't want to be
too descriptive,

but there is water

and everything else
leaking all over the place.

Hmm. Really?

Yeah. It's pretty terrible.

Just got these new shoes.
They almost got ruined.

I'll go take a look real quick.

- I'll be right back.
- Thank you.

Okay.

Wait.

Mrs. Xu.

- Oh, my gosh. Okay.
- That is my property.

- Mrs. Xu.
- Okay.

- This is theft.
- Come on. Come on.

- Come on. I just had this fixed.
- Call the police.

- Come on.
- Open this door.

- Good, good, good. Good. Good.
- Mrs. Xu.

- Give me-- Open this door.
- Okay.

- Okay. We're going.
- Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu.

- We're going. We're going.
- Stop.

- Okay.
- Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu.

Hello, Dr. Morgan.

She stole the documents.

She came into the building
and took them.

What the hell
is going on, Angela?

I tried to dissuade her,
but I swear I didn't know--

I didn't know
what else she was going to do.

Angela, you need to stop her.

I don't care how you do it.

If I hear
one more thing about Lily Xu,

you can forget
about your salary,

and you can forget
about your house!

Hi, Angela. It's me again.

I need to talk to you.
Can you please call me back?

We were supposed
to go the night he died.

Don't you remember?

That night
he got called in to work.

He was at home.
And someone called.

Said it was an emergency.

Hey, um--

Hey, listen, I can--
I can't talk right now.

- I-- I-- Yeah.
- What-- what's going on?

Kevin's in trouble.

He's with Angela and she
used to work for Pastmore.

I think she had my husband

go to the lab
on the night he died,

and I don't know
what that means,

but she has my son.

Okay, wait, you-- you need
to call the police or something.

I don't want her
to do something crazy.

If she sees the police,

I just don't know
what she's going to do.

I just need to talk to her,

but she's not
answering her phone!

Did you know
if you stacked up French fries

one on top of the other,

it would take 4.5 billion fries
to reach the moon?

Wow.

That's really interesting.

It's a quarter of
a million miles away.

That's a lot of French fries.

You get a lot of calls.

I'm popular.

Would you call me
if I had a phone?

I would definitely call you.

All the time.

It was you.

I don't understand.

You were supposed to have set
the patent application in

a month ago.

Damn it, Angela!
This is my life's work!

You called
the night my dad died.

It must have been someone else.

No.

I remember he said your name.

He said, "Damn it, Angela."

Uh...

you know
I'm a good person, right, Kev?

You know
I would never do anything

to hurt someone on purpose.

Right?

Do you like me, Kev?

Yes.

I like you.

Good. I like you, too.

- Let's go, Kevin.
- I'm still eating.

Let's--

let's go.

Come on.
We can get more food later.

Come on. [indistinct].

- That's her car.
- Okay. Let's go find them.

I think we need to go this way.

I don't think
we're supposed to go up there.

No, I-- I know
where-- where I'm going.

Come on. You're wrong.

We're not supposed to be here.

But this is the best view.

They could be anywhere.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, calm down.

Her car is still here.
We're gonna find them, okay?

Let's-- let's split up.
You go that way.

- Okay.
- Okay.

But it says restricted area.

Never mind that.

Come on. This is the best one.

Ow, that hurts.

Why are we here?

I don't know why.
I don't know why, Kevin.

I don't know why.
I don't know what I've done.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Excuse me, excuse me.

Have you seen a woman
with blonde hair with a boy?

He's nine.

No? Okay.

Angela! Angela, stop!

- Stop! Stop!
- Mom!

- Mom!
- Angela.

Please. We can talk about this.

I didn't mean to hurt him.

I didn't mean to hurt him.

Morgan and his people
wouldn't stop pushing me.

- Okay.
- I was about to lose everything.

I didn't think
he was gonna find out.

I'm sorry.
It was an accident!

I'm sorry!

It was an accident!

Pastmore filed a week ago.
How is that possible?

This happens all the time.

You knew they were working
on the same thing.

That's why we needed to get
our application in first.

I'm sorry.

- I forgot.
- They were a year behind us.

How could they have beaten us?
It's impossible.

Did you have anything
to do with this, Angela?

No.

No, Ron.

- What do you mean?
- You didn't get the filing in.

What?

- I told you. I just forgot.
- Did you help them?

- I mean, someone here must have.
- No!

No, Ron, no.

Ron, calm down.

If it doesn't work out
with this drug,

then we can--
you can always do another one.

Everything went into this one.
Don't you understand?

This took all my money,
and money I don't even have.

Don't you see what you've done?
How could you do this?

- How could you do this?
- Ron!

Oh. Ron.

Ron.

Ron.

No.

Ron.

Ron.

No.

No.

No. No.

No. No.

No. No. No.

You just wouldn't back off.

With everything that I did
to try to get you to stop,

you just wouldn't back off.

Angela, don't. Please, please.

Don't hurt my son.

He's-- he doesn't have anything
to do with all of this, okay?

We can figure this out.
Just-- just come back.

I don't think I can come back.

Hey, hey, easy there.
Easy there.

Mom, please.
You can forgive her.

I know she's sorry.
She said it with her face.

I saw it. I saw it.

- Angela.
- Thank you, sweetheart.

- Thank you.
- Angela.

He's all I have left.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

As we've stated before,
neither Dr. Morgan

nor anyone affiliated
with Pastmore Laboratories LLC.

admits to any wrongdoing.

However, in a goodwill gesture
to settle this case,

Dr. Morgan and Pastmore
agreed to add Dr. Roland Xu

to the patent application
for Ignisidine.

Additionally,

Dr. Morgan
and Pastmore Laboratories LLC.

agreed to pay Mrs. Xu
the following amount.

Thank you. We accept your offer.

Hi, I'd like to see

if 442 Hurst Street
is on the market.

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Thank you.

How do you change the color?

Just press this.

- Really that simple.
- That's pretty amazing.

I love this program.
It's easy to use.

And guess what?

Yeah?

I'm 30 days sober.

- 30 days?
- Today.

I knew you could do it!

See, it doesn't hurt to try.

Thank you.
I appreciate that. I...

It's a beautiful night outside.

Want to take a walk?

Yeah, let's do it.

Grab your guitar. Come on.

Hey, Chlo.

You know I love you, right?

What's up?

I know I haven't been the...

perfect father.

I know I haven't been

showing up for you.

And...

I want to get better for you.

And I'm trying.
I'm trying so hard.

I know [indistinct].

I do.

Thank you.

Mom, thank you
for getting the house back.

I love you so much.

I wish Dad was here to see this.

I think he is.
