Hello?
Hello.
Pizza man's here.
Hello.
F***!
I f***ing... sh*t!
Listen, man, the sign says
"driver only carries $20 cash."
Shut up. Don't talk. Just
take everything you want.
Just take the f***ing
pizza... back.
Okay, all right. You don't have to do this.
Go, go. Against the wall.
Against the wall!
Get on your knees.
Get on your knees.
Jack?
Walt? What the hell
are you doing here?
My job.
What 30-year-old
delivers pizzas?
What are you doing
with a gun, man?
Sh*t.
Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.
Hey.
Jack. Jack, it's gonna
be all right, man.
Whoa!
Against the wall!
- No, no, no, no, no!
- Turn around. Get down on your f***in' knees.
Don't! No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Look at the wall.
Look at the wall.
Please, man.
Don't look at me.
The nightmare
is always the same.
I see this
black insect crawling.
and I find this little boy...
Holding his mother's body.
His eyes are filled with tears,
her body
is filled with shrapnel,
and he's...
Asking her to wake up.
He thinks it's
just a game.
And maybe he's right.
Life is...
Just a game.
Death always wins.
I should've taken the
little boy in my arms.
I should've taken him
to safety, but...
All I did...
All I could do
was to take out my camera...
Take his picture.
I was just doing my job.
This is definitely
a trigger for you, Jack.
Why do you keep coming back
to this story?
Jack?
Jack!
Oh.
Sorry about that.
Was that Claire?
Yeah.
She's probably just worried
about dinner or something.
How is that going?
She wants me to get a job.
You know.
She wants me to...
Get out of the house.
But, uh, I guess I'm still, uh,
having a hard time...
You know, getting adjusted.
These things take time.
But you've made the necessary steps.
I mean, you're progressing, Jack.
Eighteen months.
I think you're ready
for some new challenges,
step a bit
out of your comfort zone.
I guess moving back
to the Midwest
is still a bit
of a... transition.
Don't worry about how long it took you
to get here, just that you're here.
Hi. Sorry that
I missed your call.
I just, uh...
Just got out.
Hey, I'll be running
a little late.
They want me to stay
until the end of this.
- Do you mind taking care of dinner?
- Yeah, of course.
- I can do dinner.
- Can't wait. Love you.
You're free to take off
if you like.
I can inventory what's left
of the listing.
Up next, what was one of Mr. strung's
favorite pieces. Are you sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, I can handle it.
It's a reconstructed
film camera from the 1930s.
Doesn't Jack
collect old cameras?
Yeah, he used to. He gave all
that up when he got back.
We'll open the bidding at $50.
Yes, we have $50.
Do I have 75?
75? We have 75.
You understand vegetables.
I don't know.
How did your session go?
Uh, same old same old, you know.
It was...
It went well though.
Pretty well.
Okay.
Okay, I have a surprise for you.
Uh-oh.
Wait here.
Surprise?
Mmm.
It's your anniversary gift.
Our anniversary isn't until n...
Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh.
Just open up. Open up.
Okay.
Oh.
Uh... honey...
I...
I know, I know.
Just check it out. Maybe
start a new collection.
And this one's really unique.
It's, like, 80 years old, but it's
still in really good condition.
This is really special.
I love it.
Thank you. Wow.
Really? Yeah. Thank you.
You sure?
Thank you.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay, okay.
Vintage SLR, huh?
Well, if you want
to test it out,
there's... this gig at my work
I was telling you about.
Oh. The gig. Right.
Yeah. Ben's really excited about it.
He loves your work.
And he really needs someone with
a real photography background.
With all due respect, honey,
I'm used to shooting, you know,
sectarian conflicts, not condos.
We need some progress here.
Dr. Vogel said
that I am making progress.
I have a couple of job interviews
next week. I'm making progress.
I just know how much
you love photography.
Hello.
Just need some film developed.
Yeah, sure.
Um, so, we've got
ten rolls then?
Mm-hmm. All right,
I'll get this started.
I used to come here
all the time in high school.
Lots of people do.
You were still
the manager back then.
Uh, yeah, my career certainly has
taken off. Thanks for the reminder.
Uh... I didn't
mean it that way.
I just meant that it's...
exciting to be shooting again.
Yeah, that's exciting.
Okay.
Hey. How was your day? Hi!
Uh, a lot like work, actually.
How'd your big photo shoot go?
Well, not exactly Ansel Adams,
but I think it went pretty well.
Oh, my god.
I'm so proud of you.
That's great.
It-it...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, that's so great.
Back on the horse.
Okay, great.
I gotta run.
Literally.
Oh.
Are you okay?
No.
No, I'm not okay.
What? Some weirdo creeper
was following me.
What do you mean, following you?
I mean like
literally following me.
What?
I was running down the street
and he was keeping pace.
And then I turned to our road
to get to our street...
He... my god. He had
his hand in his pants.
Did he touch you? No, no, no, no.
He touched himself.
Well, where was he? No,
wait, wait, wait. Stop.
Where was he? Come on.
Come here.
No, he... h-he's gone.
He's gone.
He... he stopped chasing me
after a while.
- Well, had you seen him before?
- I don't know.
He was, like, this... This chubby
dude with glasses, wh-white shirt.
- Well, we're calling the police.
- He doesn't know where I live.
If he sees police cars, he will.
Honey, what if he does this
to a kid or something?
Baby, please.
Calm down.
I'm fine. Okay?
We're like affectionate roommates.
Oh, okay.
She's super open-minded. Hey, hey.
Give me a club soda?
Hey! There he is. Hey.
How's it goin', man?
Good, good, good.
Good. I'm feelin' good.
Feelin' good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll have another one too, please.
Thank you.
When are you gonna bring that beautiful
fiance of yours in instead of this cretin?
"Cretin"?
Yeah, it's been a while.
You guys are my favorite couple.
- We could be somebody's favorite couple.
- Uh... eew. Mm-mmm.
This is like our... we have a thing now,
like a Sam and Diane type situation.
Ah, yeah, this thing
where she, like, hates him.
How are you?
Uh, good.
What's new? Believe it or not,
I am actually shooting again.
Yeah? All right.
Yeah.
Well, I'm kind of shooting.
It's just a, uh... Like a
trial gig at Claire's work.
Well, good! Good. You're back
doing what you were meant to do.
Thought I was meant to win
the Robert Capa award.
Instead, I'm taking
pictures of real estate.
But it's a start.
I'm proud of you.
Cheers. Cheers.
Ah.
I promised myself I'd never
pick up another camera.
Let's take a walk.
Just out back. There's
something I wanna show you.
I don't know what you went
through over there. You know?
It's none of my business.
I know you're dealing with it
and you're processing it.
I can't imagine how hard it is.
But what I do know is that
