Donovan's Echo Page #4

---

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, come in!

I got your message.

Hey, I want to show you

something.

What's this about

the Waldgrave accident?

You find the suspect?

No, we haven't found

him yet.

Then what's this?

Before we get to this...

You mentioned Maggie

Waldgrave's teacher.

Yeah, Mackenzie Carol.

What about her?

It's MacKenna.

MacKenna Carol.

What?

Yeah.

I want you to see

something else.

Hey, you got it.

Yeah, it's the security

camera from the store.

There, do you see what you did?

Yeah, you see?

No, just...

I'll rewind it.

Watch your hand.

You caused the accident.

Bullshit.

The saw fell when you

grabbed the scaffolding.

You made it happen.

No I didn't!

You weren't there.

The saw was already falling.

I saved her!

That girl is in danger

and I know the answer

lies in this journal.

Look what you're doing!

You're searching for

connections that don't exist.

The names don't match,

the bridge didn't fall,

and you jerked

the scaffolding!

Don, I'm just...

I'm worried.

I think you're creating these

connections as a way to,

I don't know, deal with

these unresolved emotions

that you're in denial of.

An impressive diagnosis.

Finn is a hell of a loss

for the psychiatric community!

Just try again here.

It's just...

Oh sh*t!

Your past is an anchor

holding you down.

You've done your time.

She needs you now.

She needs Jason,

not me.

He was a good man.

But he's gone,

and you're still here.

Now, this is an opportunity

for you to be the brother,

the uncle, that she thinks

you're capable of being.

It's time to forgive

that young boy.

Kit!

Kit!

Oh, hey Donovan.

Are you looking

for a meeting tonight?

There's one tomorrow.

Everything okay with him?

You know Kit?

Enough to see that

he's got some demons.

There's not a lot of alcoholics

who don't have them.

So uh, what brings

you out tonight?

Actually I'm the pastor here.

Oh...

Alcoholisim doesn't

really discriminate.

Since I'm here,

you mind if I get your thoughts

on something?

Sure.

This here.

Have you seen this before?

Yeah... it kind of looks

like an heraldic cross.

Yeah, it's a symbol

for hope.

Hope?

The cross

predates Christianity.

It's an ancient figure,

which represents

the four elements.

Earth, air, water, fire.

You got a family, Donovan?

What's that?

I recognize when someone's

experienced a loss.

Was it the alcohol?

Jesus.

I mean...

No.

It's my work.

There was some things

I was involved with

when I was a young man

that I came to regret.

I thought I could

redeem myself.

For 20 years it was

an obsession.

I practically pushed them

out the door.

Have you tried

to make amends?

Well I recently

made a new friend,

and I think she might

be in trouble.

I'm trying to figure out

how I can save her.

Trying to save others won't

reunite you with your family.

It's not really

about redemption.

It's about self-forgiveness.

Remember Donovan,

to live in the hearts of those

we love, is never to die.

What was that?

See you tomorrow, huh?

You didn't drop the bomb

Donovan!

But I participated.

This could be a clean,

cheap source of energy.

But you need to recognize what you

have right in front of you.

Just give me one hour.

Take the day.

I'll see you at dinner.

Happy birthday.

Hey!

Hey.

I thought I could show you

how to enter the work orders.

Computers huh?

So no worldwide web

for you?

Listen, maybe don't worry about

this whole work order thing.

I got this opportunity

out East.

What's the opportunity?

It's a, uh, trucking company

and um... you know,

I'd have to wrap up these

last couple of jobs today

but I would leave tomorrow.

Wow, some things never change.

What am I supposed

to do Kit?

Look Sarah, I've been

talking to some people

and I think you could get a

really good price for this...

It's just Maggie.

It's not safe.

She's fine.

No, it's the lift.

I've got to replace

the rotted seal.

Maggie!

Stay away from that.

It's not safe back here.

Come on.

Maggie.

Let's go.

Look Sarah, this new job...

it's not a sure thing yet.

You know, I might

stick around.

Earth, air...

Fire, water, Science Fair.

Excuse me, ladies

and gentlemen!

If I could have

your attention please?

We had a lot of impressive

work here today

but there was one student

who really stood out.

I'd like to announce the winner

of this year's science fair...

Maggie Waldgrave!

Congratulations Maggie.

Way to go!

You came!

Maggie, your project.

The four elements.

Why did you choose this?

It's important.

I was just kind of

drawn to it.

Did you use a symbol?

A cross?

What do you mean?

Right here,

the heraldic cross.

It represents

the four elements.

I've never seen that before.

You sure?

Somewhere in your research?

No?

Sorry.

I'm so proud of you

my girl!

Free passes to

Science World!

That's so cool.

It's awfully thoughtful

of you to come down.

Oh no, the IMAX show ends

tomorrow.

You think we can go.

Please?

You deserve it.

Let's see this medal

of yours.

Wow! It's pretty heavy.

This is what Maggie wants

to do for your birthday.

She thought you'd really

enjoy it.

- Hey, let me drive you guys.

I'd love to see the

dinomax...thing, you know...

- I think we need a girls' trip,

thanks.

Hey guys, we're going

to take some photos now.

Maggie you can't

go tomorrow!

Excuse me?

Maggie!

No, no you can't go Maggie!

Let her go!

It's about the cross!

It's a warning!

Listen to me.

I want you to leave

my daughter alone.

No, no listen to me,

Sarah!

Listen to me!

No, you listen to me.

You stink like booze,

you've been filling her head

with who knows what?

If you go tomorrow,

you'll die!

Oh no, no, no.

Listen to me.

Listen to me!

Sir, settle down!

Sarah!

Maggie!

Maggie, please don't go!

What's the story?

Is he alright?

Hey.

Hey, Finn!

You've got to help me

convince them.

Oh, Don...

No, no, no.

Tomorrow's the 9th.

My birthday!

The same day that...

God damnit!

Just stop!

Please, please Finn!

You've got to find Jasmine

and Magnolia and tell them...

Jasmine?

Listen to yourself.

Look what you're doing.

That's not your wife

and daughter.

You need help, Don.

I'll come in and check on you

in the morning.

Finn?

I realize I might be crazy.

But I know I didn't cause

that saw to fall.

I saved her at the store.

You still awake, sweetie?

Big day.

What's wrong with him?

Donovan?

I think he's hurting.

He said he lost someone.

I think he had a girl.

You mean the jacket

you borrowed?

You know, sometimes people

deal with their pain

in unhealthy ways.

Maybe they take things

to try to help it go away

but it only makes it worse.

Sometimes they believe

things that aren't real.

What do you think is real?

I don't know sweetheart.

But I know that your

daddy would've been

so proud of you today.

I wish he was there.

Me too.

Going back a few days here.

I don't know if it'll have

what you're looking for.

What time of day

did you say it was?
