here, me and you.

I let you think

you didn't matter to me.

But I swear I won't run away again.

I'll stay with you, I promise.

You just need to choose it.

Know how many people

would love a second chance?

Help me.

- Dad, are you okay?

- It's just my shoulder.

- I didn't do it.

- I know.

Get rid of the guns!

Empty your pockets.

Don't give them an excuse.

- They'll kill me.

- It's okay. I'm with you now.

Identify yourself!

It's okay.

It's okay, there are no guns!

Raise your hands.

See the hands? No guns.

- Get down, drop the gun!

- Show us your hands!

- They're down.

- Move away!

Move away from him!

- Told you to move away!

- Take it easy.

All right, take it easy on him!

Listen! Anything happens to him,

you'll answer to me.

Easy with him!

It'll be all right.

It's okay, son. It's okay.

Here he comes.

This way.

Watch your head.

I love you.

I want to go on the rocks.

Yeah, those are the rocks.

That's the jetty.

Let's go on the rocks.

Yeah, those are the rocks.

Look, see that?

You see that, the airplane? See?

- Where do you think that's going?

- Flying...

You want to fly away

with your dad sometime? Yeah?

Because he wants to go with you.

He told me so.

He told me he wants to take you

to Key West.

You wanna go?

Yeah? Good.

When he comes back,

you'll go with him to Key West.

Me, you and him.

Grandpa, Daddy and you.

We're gonna go to Key West.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

Okay, sweetheart.

You want to put the water

in the thing?

Go put the water in the thing.
