Ticket.

Okay, get in the truck.

You two related?

What's in the box?

Put it down.

Pack it up!

Where's the other one?

What?

The other ticket.

I only have the two.

- Step back.

- Don't do this, please.

Get back from the line now!

Two tickets, two people!

I'm all they have left!

- Do it now!

- - I'll take them!

I'll take them.

- Osenchuk. Right?

- Hi!

This is William.

You're William. Hello,

William. He's three.

This is his baby brother, Kris.

You're Thomas Oates's wife,

right?

Was.

- Yeah.

- Get in the truck! Let's go!

Janet. Janet.

We have to do this.

Shh.

Shh.

Okay.

Okay. William, come on.

Come on. Let's go

for a truck ride.

Don't ever let them come back.

Come on.

Here we go.

Let us finish with

a verse from Luke.

"There was a certain rich man,

which was clothed in purple

and fine linen,

and fared sumptuously every day.

And there was a certain beggar

named Lazarus,

which was laid at his gate

full of sores.

And it came to pass

that the beggar died...

and was carried by the angels

into Abraham's bosom.

The rich man also died

and was buried.

And in hell he lift up his eyes,

and being in torments,

and seeth Abraham afar off,

and Lazarus in his bosom. "

Let us commend Olivia Osenchuk

to the ground.

Earth to earth. Ashes

to ashes. Dust to dust.

Amen.

Have you seen Will?

Will?

Will?

Are you up there?

"Za world reveals itself

to those who go searching. "

Who said that?

I did.

I meant who said that quote.

Werner Herzog, of course.

This your secret spot?

Mmm.

Since we were kids.

Baba didn't notice?

Actually, sometimes

she'd join in.

Kris has got a thing about weed.

Kris has got a thing

about a lot of things.

And, uh, semi-naked thing,

that just for kicks?

Yeah, well, got to stay

fresh and clean.

Don't want to start

stinking up the service.

You know what else

might help with that?

A shower.

I'm kidding.

You smell great.

I do smell great.

Tell your friends.

Thank you for coming.

Be right in.

What's up?

Nothing.

I know this is a hard day

to go over all this stuff,

but with you and Brit

on your way out of town...

New York will still be

there when this is done.

It's, uh, better

we deal with this now.

We just appreciate you helping out on

such a short notice. Will and I both, uh...

We both appreciate it.

Yeah, of course.

She was a good woman.

All right.

Contents declared...

familial possessions,

all belonging to one

Olivia Osenchuk.

All to be received by the primary

benefactor... Kristopher Thomas Oates.

You.

You sign here and they're yours.

I assume the items have,

uh, sentimental value.

Just a few photos,

mementos, a videotape.

Short straw kind of thing, huh?

Hey, listen.

Death is just a... It's just

a part of life, you know?

A stroke's a stroke.

You can't control these

things. Best not to try.

At least she didn't suffer.

Casablanca?

- Why is that so important?

- Hey. Not now, Will.

I'll walk you out.

Thanks.

It was a pretty service.

You guys both looked so sharp.

She would have liked that.

Right.

Hey.

What's going on

in that head of yours?

We were so close.

I know.

Baba was a special lady.

No. I mean we were so close.

You and me.

So close to gettin' away

from all this.

It's just life.

It's nothing we can't handle.

We'll just deal with the odds and ends

and make sure your brother's all right...

That's the part

that exhausts me.

Making sure my brother's all

right. That could take years.

Hey, Will.

How you doing?

Just looking for a VCR so

I can play Baba's videotape.

So, it's Baba's relief bottle.

There was a lot of junk

out there.

See what I mean?

Yeah.

Would it be so bad

if we just took some time?

Yes. Yes.

Okay, we are not setting

our plans off course.

The firm was nice enough to give

me a few extra days, and that's it.

And quite frankly,

I don't want to lag behind.

We need to be

solution-oriented.

We need to move on.

If we let the problems of this

place weigh us down, then...

You got it to play?

What? Oh, yeah.

Couldn't sleep?

Be patient with him.

He struggles a lot

trying to keep it all together.

Yeah, well, he doesn't

have to be an ass about it.

Of course he does.

What are we watching?

Vacation tape?

I don't know.

It all seems to be taking

place in this town Tendale.

Whoa!

Those are our parents.

Our parents?

It was in the box with the tape.

That baby could be anybody.

Oh. Well, when was it taken?

August 23, 1988.

That's your birthday, Kris.

Yes. Thank you, Will.

I got to call a real estate

agent and list this place.

Actually, I think you should

probably hold off on that.

Actually, I can't. Well, now,

I mean, come on, hear me out.

So we google-mapped

this town called Tendale.

Which was actually

surprisingly hard,

since it was declared a distressed

municipality 10 years ago.

It's practically a ghost town.

- But a charming ghost town.

- Super charming.

And-And-And they have this

thing called "Sasquatch Watch,"

which is probably

a tourist trap, but...

Okay, why are you guys

telling me this?

Okay. It's, like,

an eight-hour drive away.

Well, more like 10.

But more like eight.

And we were thinking of going

and finding Mom and Dad.

You wanna find the people that

decided they didn't want us anymore?

Right. Well, I mean...

No. Well, who knows what happened,

right? Wouldn't you wanna know?

You're not serious?

He's not serious.

We've all been through a lot.

And you and I are heading

back east next week.

It might be nice to go

on a little family vacation.

What is wrong with you?

Kris.

It could be fun, all right?

It's a...

It's a well-deserved break.

From what?

- What do you need a break from?

- Kris!

Everybody lost Baba.

Not just you.

Oh, come on.

He's been the victim

his whole life.

Poor Will needs

more help in school.

Poor Will needs more confidence.

Poor Will needs extra attention.

Poor Will can't pay his rent.

It's bullshit.

He's almost 30 years old and he's

still working for minimum wage.

I chose a hard career.

What career?

I'm an artist!

Okay, because you took an adult

ed course at community college?

And before that, what was it, um,

a surf class in Nicaragua, was it?

That was a viable

business venture.

You don't know how to surf.

You know what?

I'm goin' to Tendale.

I'm gonna find Mom and Dad.

I'm gonna do it alone

if I have to.

Okay. And who's gonna foot the bill on

this pipe dream, now that Baba's gone?

Me?

You know what?

This was your breakfast.

I don't have to put up

with this, not from you.

You can't even

cook breakfast right...

without burning

the f***ing house down!

You call this being

solution-oriented?

Oh, what? You really thought you'd

get to Tendale on a ten-speed?

All right. Okay.

Kris printed these out.

We should start handing them out

at every stop of the way.

Okay. Cool.

Let the hunt begin, huh?

"Bigfoot fact number six.

Several accounts have attested

to hearing unusual...
