Anything Is Possible Page #4

Just promise me you won't

go to the streets.

Then where will I go?

You can stay here.

You can sleep...

You can sleep in,

oh, that thing.

And there's plenty of food in the fridge,

but the one upstairs, not this one.

Okay, thanks.

EVELYN:
Jesse!

I gotta go.

Yes, Mother!

Nothing? Okay.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Mr. Peters?

Yeah, Jimmy.

My friends and I were thinking

that maybe we could help.

You guys have any idea

where Nathan could be?

No.

I thought you guys

were good friends.

Not lately.

You've been pushing him

around pretty hard, huh?

Go get those flyers

and pass them around, okay?

WOMAN:
Mr. Peters.

Sorry I broke your window.

Actually, his rock

didn't fly too far.

It was my rock that broke

your window. I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Me too.

That was a foolish thing

that you did.

But you know what?

It takes a real man

to admit when he's wrong.

And thanks for apologizing.

Now, let's grab some flyers,

and go find Nathan.

Okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

Good, we're running late.

I already locked the back door.

Oh, thank you, sweetie.

I'll get the alarm.

Hey Jared.

Hey.

Everything all right?

Yeah, did you talk to Kim?

I called her twice

but I got her voice mail.

Hi Jared.

Hey Jess.

Oh, I forgot my sunglasses.

You have to wait for it to beep

twice to make sure it's on.

(BEEPS)

Yes, 10:
00 to 3:00,

just like you asked.

Great, thank you.

(BEEPING)

(PLAYING)

MAGGIE:
You look up at the sky and you know

that we are both looking at the same moon.

I love you, too much.

(PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC)

(APPLAUDING)

MAN:
(OVER RADIO) That's right,

it's at 9401 Washington Road.

This is car 51.

We're at the Strausser home.

We're gonna check it out, over.

MAN:
It's a zone two

interior sensor.

It might be a false alarm.

Copy that.

(CAR DOOR SHUTS)

This house again,

second time this week.

There doesn't really seem

to be anything here.

Just like last time.

Must be the cat again.

Trips the alarm all the time.

MAN:
(OVER RADIO) There's a five

zone alarm at 451 Spring Street.

Any cars in the area

respond immediately.

This is car 51, we're on it.

Let's get outta here.

You have made your way

back to the park.

Son, soldiers, and I mean every soldier,

have three things in common.

Courage, honor,

and character.

As I am sure you have learned these

lessons from your mom and dad.

So when I asked you to help

with a very important mission,

I was leading you to the people

that could make you whole again.

And remember,

anything missing can be found.

Captain Miles.

When she plunged into the

river 100 feet below.

NATHAN:
I love you, Mom.

I love you.

MS. JONES:
He doesn't know?

JESSE:

He never told you anything?

(BEEPING)

How did you learn how to

play the piano like that?

I don't know, I just kept having

thoughts of my mom and dad and then,

and then my fingers

took over.

Are you holding out on me?

No, I'm serious.

I, I...

I was just thinking of my mom and then,

the music

took over my fingers.

I don't know how to explain it.

But, just like that?

You were the one

who said anything's possible.

I did say that, didn't I?

Thank you for letting me

use your house.

You're very welcome.

I hope I didn't get you

in trouble with your mom.

We'll see about that once

your dad gets here.

My dad?

What is it?

You know, my dad, that's not really my dad.

I heard once

that anyone can be a father

but not everybody

can be a dad.

He sounds

like a real dad to me.

You know,

you scared me.

You should never

run away like that.

I didn't know what to do.

Hi, Mr. Peters.

Yeah.

Hi, I'm Kimberly Jordan

and I'm the chief administrator

for this orphanage

and this is

my assistant Lysandra.

I clearly told Ms. Strausser

that my son is not an orphan.

Well, I'm not

here to dispute that.

We just want to find the best

resolution for your situation.

Mr. Peters,

this may be a good thing.

This orphanage

is registered with the state

and your son can stay here while

we process your documentation.

They treat the kids

very well here.

And I'll be around to keep

an eye on him.

You all want to meet me

in my office?

EVELYN:
We'll be right there.

Okay.

Can I stick around too?

Why don't you show

Nathan to the rec room?

Come on, I'll show you

the rest of the gang.

It's okay, little buddy.

I'll be right back, okay?

Hey.

I love you.

Love you too.

She's very fond

of your son.

Yeah, I can see that.

I really appreciate everything

you've done for him.

It was all Jess and Captain Miles.

Captain Miles?

Your son lucked out

while he was in the streets

and ran into a friend

of ours.

Where is he?

I want to thank him.

We don't know where he is.

He suffers from PTSD.

We think he might

have had a relapse.

Gather around, guys.

I want you all

to meet Nathan.

Hi, Nathan.

I'm Charlie.

So, are you moving

in with us?

Looks like I might

be around for a while.

Well, I have an extra bed in

my room if you ever need it.

That's very nice of you,

Charlie.

Guys,

we need to talk.

What's wrong, Jesse?

The funding to keep the

center open has been denied.

We have to raise

$40,000.

Is that it?

We should go walk

to the bank.

I should have that much

money in my saving account.

This isn't funny, Scooter.

Oh, I see you guys

have met Nathan.

He's gonna be staying

with us for a little while.

Hey,

is that okay, buddy?

It's fine, Dad.

I'm sorry about

this whole mess.

I'm gonna make it right though, okay?

I know you will.

Dad?

Yeah.

Have you heard

anything about Mom?

Nope, no new news.

I'm gonna go with

Ms. Jones and Ms. Kim.

We're gonna fill

out a bunch of paperwork

and I brought you

some clean clothes.

Okay.

And in the meantime,

we have our scheduled visit to

Children's Hospital to visit Jasmine!

Yay!

She's one of our kids

who's taken ill and we like to

see her at least once a week.

All right, you go with them and I'll

see you back here tomorrow night.

And don't worry,

everything's gonna be okay.

Hey, hey, hey,

you know if you need anything,

Lysandra's here to help

you, okay?

Okay.

I'll take good care of him.

Yeah.

Oh.

Okay, everyone,

we have one hour,

so behave yourselves.

(CLEARS THROAT) Scooter?

Anyone else?

Okay, let's go.

WOMAN:
(OVER PA) Dr. Forest,

dial 182, please.

Hi, Jasmine.

Hi, bubblies.

Hey, Becky.

How are you feeling?

Good, I feel good.

Who's this?

This is Nathan.

He'll be staying at the center.

I don't know,

he's pretty cute.

He might get snatched

up pretty fast.

He's not up for adoption.

He has a father.

Lucky you, Nathan.

Jasmine,

when are you coming home?

Soon, really, really soon.

That's what

you said the last time.

Can we go to the garden?

Sure,

we can go to the garden.

Let's go.

Look at all

the TVs in here.

Do you see what I see?

Come on, you got this.

(PLAYING HALTINGLY)

(PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC)

(APPLAUDING)

Yeah!

That was good, buddy.

How did you do that?

I'm not sure.

Kids, let's wrap it up,

we'll be leaving soon.
