Bereavement

Hey, he's right here.

I've only read about it.

I knoW it's extremely rare.

So he can't feel

or touch?

No, he responds

to normal touch and pressure.

His body just can't recognize

sensations of pain.

Cl is a very

dangerous condition.

He could bite his oWn tongue off

and not even realize it.

He could break a bone

and keep on playing.

Even hot foods have to be checked

before he eats them.

Of course.

He has to be checked hourly

for cuts and bruises,

and not just his arms and legs,

but his Whole body,

even inside his mouth.

This is very important.

Martin can't tell

When something hurts.

Hi there.

I bought this neW bike

for my nepheW's birthday,

but he doesn't like the color.

Can you believe that?

I Was gonna just throW it out

When I saW you and I thought,

"There's a kid Who'd probably love

a neW bike."

Am I right?

It's right in my truck.

Want to take a look?

tWo aides already.

Still no leads

in the disappearance

of college student Melissa Barnes

Who Was last seen

Ieaving her place of employment

at the Charcoal Diner...

Hey, hoW Was your run?

Interesting.

Melissa, l... I think

my hand is coming loose.

He's coming.

Don't make a sound.

We're gonna get out of here.

When steer are led

to slaughter,

they smell the stench

of fear and blood

and they panic.

Sometimes We'd have to saW off

their hind legs

so they couldn't run.

No.

No, please.

No.

No. Oh God!

Hold her still.

Get back here.

It's okay.

Everything's under control.

Looks like I got here

just in time.

When something outlasts

its usefulness,

it gets discarded.

Still here?

- See you later.

- Yeah.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah, gotta get it over With

sooner or later.

She'll be fine.

Nervous?

You think they'll have

a decent track team?

Don't get your hopes up.

No chance of that.

What is that place?

That's the Sutter plant.

It's been closed for years.

I saW someone there yesterday

While I Was jogging--

a boy.

A boy?

Yeah, I thought so.

Probably just some kids

vandalizing the place.

I kind of Wish

you'd stay aWay from there

and jog on the main road.

Yeah, and get hit by a truck.

Graham's a pack rat.

That place should be condemned.

Someone lives there?

Yeah, he stays mostly

to himself.

You knoW him?

We're about the same age.

He never went to school.

His dad made him Work at that place

day and night.

It was a meat-packing plant

till they couldn't afford

to upgrade the equipment to code.

I'll tell you one thing:

I don't miss the smell.

I'll pick you up at 2:30.

Silence is a sound

of no fear...

no pain...

the sound of peace.

I envy your serenity.

The path to redemption

begins With forgiveness--

absolution.

You're my Witness.

What did I tell you?

I told you don't touch,

didn't l?

Yeah, the bolts are stripped.

Cashier:

$17.50.

- Can I oWe you the 50 cents?

- Yeah, right.

Thanks, Eddie.

Jonathan, hoW's that

extension coming?

It's going really good.

You knoW you've got

dryWall nails here?

Hmm?

Oh sh*t.

Just cheerleading.

Unless you can kick a field goal.

That's it?

There isn't much of a demand

for girls' sports in this area.

Our cheerleading squad

did Win Best Routine

in the state final last year.

Come on! Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Girl:
Ready?

Let's shake it. Let's shout it.

!

Let's shake it.

Let's shout it.

!

Let's shake it.

Let's shout it.

Aren't you scared of that falling

and crushing you?
