- They're gonna find him, hon.

Where's Buddy?

- They got all these guards looking for him.

What?

- No need to worry.

The guards are looking for him?

- I stopped just for a second.

You stopped for a drink?

Please don't touch me. Please

don't touch me. Excuse me...

hi, I'm the momma

of the boy who's lost.

I said, do not touch me!

Bud, come here baby.

-There's my Buddy boy.

You're gonna be fine. There's my Buddy boy.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Shut up.

- We just got our wires crossed.

You can't go now, you don't have a ticket.

I should've trusted my instincts. Every bone in my body

told me not to get on that plane.

Everything's gonna be okay, Jeanie.

- No.

Everything's not okay. He's four years old.

He's scared out of his wits.

I wouldn't do anything to hurt him.

- But you did!

Just like every other man in my life.

Just nothing but self-involved a**holes!

Come on, now. Just calm down.

Let me...

Can I have his backpack?

- Jamie...

Can't we talk about it?

- Don't you touch me!

It's too f***ing hard! Stop!

Let me drive you to the airport.

- Sorry, Bud.

Let me drive you, at least. Come on.

Come on, babe. I'm sorry, sweetheart.

Let me take that.

- Thank you.

All right, you get your seatbelt on.

Jean.

Jeanie!

Hello.

- Wayne?

Bad?

- I want to get sober.

I'm Bad.

I'm an alcoholic.

- Hi, Bad.

A couple of days ago

I lost a little boy.

I was drunk.

Been drunk most of my life.

I've lost a hell of a lot.

I heard you're an entertainer.

I am.

I'm glad you're here.

We know what a hard step it is.

Look who's here.

Hey, good to see you!

Good to see you! How do you feel?

- I feel great.

Really?

- Oh, man.

Take it from someone who's been there. It don't

last necessarily. It's gonna get rough.

And you'll feel worthless, maybe...

but I'm gonna help you with it.

- Pleased to hear you tell me that.

Grab that, old buddy, I'm gonna help you.

Let's put this in there.

- Yeah.

I think I've got this thing licked.

Let's hope so.

One day at a time, all right?

- Yeah, I heard that.

Get your butt in the truck. Let's go.

We'll see.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming out.

It's so good to be home.

What are you doing here?

- Listen to me.

I'm sorry.

Sorry with all my heart.

I'm sober.

Detox, the whole bit.

It woke me up.

That's good, Bad.

- I'm not Bad.

I'm going back to Otis,

my given name.

No more Bad.

I've changed everything.

That's good.

How's Buddy?

- Sleeping.

He's all right.

Will you ever forgive me?

God, I knew what the risks were with you...

and I took them because...

I love you, and...

putting Buddy in your hands...

I don't know if I'll ever be able

to get over that.

I'm different now.

- I am, too.

Let me prove it.

You're not listening to me.

- We can start over.

Listen to me. I am so... I am truly

happy for you...

I hope you make a really nice

life for yourself...

but Buddy and I can't be a part of it.

But I love both of you so much.

If that's true you'll

leave us alone, all right?

Come on, Jean, don't say that.

Tommy! Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!

Y'all waiting to hear a song?

How are you holding up?

Good.

This song was written by my

mentor - more a friend.

And well... it kinda speaks for itself.

I sure do hope y'all like it.

That's one hell of a song.

Which reminds me....

They're getting bigger by the day, kid.

- Yeah, I'll say.

See you later Jack.

- Hey Bad...

that was a great show.

And you're doing real good.

Keep it up, I'm proud of you.

Still a little gas left in the tank.

See you now.

Mr. Blake.

Hi.

You were in vintage form today.

Vintage. That's about right.

I heard you might be here. Not working

for the Sun now. What's this?

You can't hold back a good

woman from Enid, Oklahoma.

He's a good guy

Yeah, well, you deserve one.

Wanna see Buddy? He's here.

No..

I'd love to, but I don't know if...

it's the best thing for him.

Look, would you give this to him

on his 18th birthday for me?

What is it?

No, Bad. I don't want this.

- Hey...

I don't want this.

Come on, now. Hey...

- I don't-

there wouldn't be this song if not for you.

That's not money.

That's awfully kind of you.

I'm glad to hear you're doing so well.

- Well, one day at a time.

So you'll give me an interview?

I sure will.

I'd say let's do it on the bus,

but it's much prettier out here, isn't it?

It is.

-My god, look at that.

So you've been all right I guess, huh?

I've been all right.

- Yeah. Me too.
