Darling Companion Page #8

Your shoulder, honey.

- I know we haven't...

- Oh, my God!

Lower that weapon, deputy dog.

I had a feeling it'd be you guys.

You know the whole damn county

has been out looking for you?

How did you find us?

Silent alarm.

Would you let me through?

Damn it. God.

We got 'em! We got.

No, they look great.

They're in their pajamas.

Are you guys Okay?

Yeah, they're okay. Yeah, okay.

No, I have to go. Yeah, I'll tell 'em!

You scared the sh*t out of us.

- Buddy...

- No, no, don't touch him. No.

You know, he fell down.

Poor guy

He hurt his shoulder.

Well...

Okay, here we go.

Look at that.

French toast.

Clear!

Nourishment. That's what we need.

And a side of Lipitor, please.

Come on. Eat, Beth, eat.

- I can't...

- Last day.

Last day, right, your last day.

Sweetie, we've got to get back.

You guys have been

more than generous already.

We all have to get back to our lives.

I think we're gonna find Freeway today.

I don't know. Maybe.

Well, honey, you found him once.

Yeah, but that storm last night,

it was just so bad.

So what's the plan?

Carmen, what do you got for us?

Only one thing.

When I put the bacon in this pan,

I saw Freeway come out

of Lawson's Hill at Pioneer's Turn.

He wanted to cross the highway.

Cut the crap.

Beth.

Your visions sent us

all over hell yesterday.

Joseph got hurl.

And what about Bryan and Russell

risking their lives

because of some ridiculous

redheaded woman who knew nothing.

Not one thing you've said has been right.

Some were close.

I understand you don't believe me.

But you must believe

Freeway is out there somewhere.

Is this a Gypsy thing,

manipulating people

when they're at their most vulnerable?

- Come on, Beth. She's trying to help.

- Don't defend me'

You have to stay focused.

The moment you lose hope

is the moment your chances

of getting him back disappear.

- You have to have hope.

- That's all we've got.

That's all you need.

Don't you think Freeway wants to find you

as much as you want to find him?

I hope he's better at it than we are.

We can't get discouraged, guys.

We got to stay positive.

Hi? Hello?

Carol.

No, we haven't found him.

Where?

The gas station?

That's near Pioneer Turn.

Oh, my God, okay. So, 10 minutes ago?

You saw him in the frying pan?

You are one freaky caretaker.

Listen, I lost a pair of really nice

horn-rimmed reading glasses last February.

Maybe you could check the French toast?

Just get the whistles! Grab a whistle!

Thank you, Carol.

Thank you so much for calling, really.

Oh, my God.

Carmen, oh, look. 1 really... I'm sorry.

Let's go up to Pioneer Turn.

Sorry, bumpy.

Mom called last night

when everyone was lost in the storm.

I told her you were hiking.

I'll call her today.

Did she say anything about the wedding?

She thought it was lovely.

She said the food gave her gout.

That's your mother.

- Hey, she's your grandmother.

- Meaning what?

Meaning the dark side is

strong in all of us.

By the way, Joseph,

it's your turn to go to Phoenix.

Don't I get credit for the wedding?

No, because you put her at my table

with Sam's parents.

She asked Numendra

what he was in his last life.

All right, Mom.

I will go with you next time.

Nobody should have to go

through that alone.

Thank you.

Russell offered to go with me.

He's good with difficult people.

I've noticed.

The guy's pretty fearless.

No luck.

You want to come with me?

You take a knife

and you cut into people's backs.

How can you do that?

They're asleep.

That must take large cojones.

Well, they trained me to do it.

But, yes, I have large cojones.

How long did it take?

It's four years of medical school,

five-year residency,

- and a two-year fellowship.

- Eleven years?

Yeah, after college.

What?

When did they start calling you doctor?

About 10 years ago, after med school.

Maybe I should call you doctor.

I just hate

the thought of leaving Beth up here alone.

Hold her,

come home for a few days, recharge,

and we'll come back on the weekend.

She's afraid the search

will end if she leaves.

But everyone's on the lookout.

If he's out there, somebody will spot him.

If he's out there.

Okay, I'll go home with you tomorrow.

I will.

Anyway.

Hi, sweetie.

We're just having coffee

before we head out again.

Okay, look, Carmen says, don't give up hope.

Wait, I'm gonna put you on the speaker.

Okay.

Okay. We're all here.

Carmen says Freeway

really wants to come in,

but he's got to hear a friendly voice.

Okay, what... Don't laugh. Wait a second.

- Okay.

- So...

Carmen has a strong feeling

about a basketball court.

Okay, okay.

Now, there are two basketball courts

in town. We're going to the high school.

Can you guys cover the one in Town Park?

- Town Park.

- Town Park, okay, okay.

- All right, we're going to Town Pam.

- Town Park.

He's been gone two days,

so if you see a dog like this...

Okay, well, no, your hands are full.

Okay, well, thanks anyway. I appreciate it.

- Thank you so much.

- Okay, bye-bye, guys.

- Have a good picnic now.

- Smells good.

Come on, darling.

Freeway!

Freeway, come on in!

I can hardly remember the wedding.

- Everyone loved it.

- They did?

Especially my mother. It gave her gout.

I'll bet you remember

how beautiful Grace looked.

Yeah, and Ellie.

Ellie, too.

We're gonna have another doctor

in the family.

Wow.

Ethan could use a cousin.

They should get right on that.

Yeah, so to speak.

I told Grace to throw away her pills

two months ago.

I'm sorry I forgot the dog whistle.

That wasn't it.

No, I know.

I'm gonna try to be better.

I can't promise you I'll be much different.

It may be a little late for that.

I'm gonna try to calm down.

You can't help it.

It's a jolt finding ourselves like this.

Like what?

Not young.

Oh, my God.

Have you noticed the ages

of the people in the obits?

- It's not funny.

- No, it is funny.

I was thinking,

maybe we ought to invest in the pub.

Yeah, I was thinking that, too.

The Partridge and the Plough?

It's growing on me.

Doesn't mean I'm gonna drink warm beer.

- Here, Freeway!

- Hey, buddy!

Come on! Come on, Freeway!

- Careful, baby. Careful.

- No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I was so scared last night.

Everybody I care about

was out in that storm.

We all made it.

I'm never letting you out of my sight again.

Get used to it.

Get used to it.

You would make a fine husband.

- For you?

- No. Not for me.

Why not?

It would never work.

I could see the whole thing.

Tell me.

The wedding would be very strange

but funny.

We would have to keep an eye

on my father around Penny,

My mother would disapprove of everything,

but Russell will melt her heart.

Yeah.

The sex will be fantastic.

You will have no problem

keeping up with me.

You've got good hands.

They will make me want to devour you.

Okay, this is all really good.

What's the problem?

You will take me to your world

of hospitals and cocktail parties.
