Unfortunately,

Belmont did not survive.

St. Augustine, known

by locals as simply Saint,

is holding an open vigil

at their church tomorrow.

This was the third incident

this month...

All right, buddy,

we'll talk soon.

All right. Thank you.

Okay, Liam, as I was saying,

we're going to get this meeting.

It's going to be...

Where are you going?

You're just going

to walk... okay.

I guess you're just going to go.

Great.

Get some shoes.

A rooftop.

You're kidding me right now,

Liam?

We're supposed to be

on a flight to Denver

in half an hour.

Jeez, look at you, man.

All right. I'm going to go

get you a clean shirt

or something.

Just get in the car.

...now,

sad news to report,

the town of St. Augustine

is mourning the loss

of one of their own today.

27-year-old Mason Belmont

was born and raised

in St. Augustine,

was killed on Tuesday

in a car crash...

Hey, Pat, can you turn that up?

...laid to rest

this afternoon.

A funeral service will be held

at St. Augustine

Community Church.

- Mason leaves behind his wife...

- Oh, man.

... and two young children.

Hey, I'll give you

a thousand bucks

if you get me

out of here right now.

Yes, sir, boss.

I could talk my way

out of trouble

With a smoke and a smile

But she dealt me a handful

I played along for a while

Hey, Pat, I think you should go.

And if you want

to keep your job,

I wouldn't tell anyone

where I am.

You got it, boss.

All right.

I ran for a remedy

Or whatever fit the bill

And I'll follow

the script closely

Whiskey, women, and pills

Still the heartache

lingers on

As I run myself down

We're late. Now remember,

when we get inside,

we give Ms. Kiera

a big hug, okay.

God,

don't let it burn out

Excuse us.

...ain't

no better way around

Everyone

got something to say

How to make

the flame go down

Hey, sis,

is everything okay?

- Liam's here.

- What?

Let's turn in our Bibles...

- He's here.

to Psalms 34:
18.

The Lord is close

to the brokenhearted

and he saves those

who are crushed in spirit.

I wish I had the answers

to help you understand

why Mason was taken from us,

to help me understand.

I think about this church

during times like this.

Here in this church,

I baptized most of you,

married most of you,

baptized your children.

We rejoiced through

the good times together

and we bonded together

during the hard times.

So while I wish

I had the answers as to why,

what I can tell you is this,

that it was here

inside this church

that Mason Belmont

sat every Sunday morning

with his family

with that big smile on his face.

How blessed were we

to have had the privilege

of experiencing that smile

that Mason bestowed upon us

through the grace of God.

Jake, can you take Billy

to the car, please?

Just leave him be, Jos.

Josie, come on.

I got you, little one.

Hey, Liam.

Oh, hey, Dad.

Some things

you can't go back to

Some things

need left alone

Don't mess with the memories

of a life that's gone

All the tumble

and reservations

At the heart of my mistakes

Oh, some things

you can't go back to

Because you let them

slip away

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Morning.

Morning.

What time is it?

Well, it's half past 9:00,

you know, AM.

That tastes awful, Dad.

Really?

Well, it tastes

pretty good to me.

Uh-uh.

Now, make sure

you clean your cup out.

You know,

with some soap and water?

You still know

how to wash dishes,

don't you, Liam?

Right here.

What happened

to Mom's rose garden?

Well...

I just couldn't keep up with it.

So I'll be back

around 6:
00 tonight.

You're just going

to leave right now?

Well, I'll make us some supper

when I get back,

if you're still around.

I'm not sure how long

I'm going to be here for so...

Right.

I mean, do they have

Uber here or...

How else am I supposed

to get around, Dad?

I think your old bike's

still in the garage.

Get out of the pool,

come on, let's go, let's go.

Have you completely lost

your flippin' mind?

I mean, you pulled

a lot of crap on me,

but you never missed

an entire concert, Liam.

- I'm sorry.

- You're sorry?

Oh, that's good.

All right, that's good.

Babe, would you get the kids?

I just don't want them

to hear this.

Liam, you missed

the whole concert, okay?

That's 20,000 fans and me,

and Doris, and the label,

all wondering why Liam Page

isn't at the concert

these people paid good money

to see him play at.

I mean, do you have any idea

how much this costs, a tour?

I'll pay them back.

Oh, you'll pay them back.

You'll pay them back.

Oh, man, you just don't get it,

do you, buddy?

Okay. You know right now,

the whole world is wondering

where Liam Page is, yeah.

Have you turned on a TV?

Does that prehistoric cellphone

of yours even have Wi-Fi?

I'm in my hometown

right now, in Louisiana.

My best friend

from high school passed away.

I just went to his funeral.

Liam, I'm so sorry, man,

I mean, are you all right?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Okay. Well,

I just want you to know

I'm going to get everything set

on this end, all right?

I mean, that was your last

concert date on that tour,

so we'll just set Denver up

after we go to Europe

on the next tour.

It's all going to be fine.

You just... you just be

with your friends

and your family.

And look, and Doris, I mean,

Doris started spinning

some crazy story

about why you missed

that concert.

So don't even worry

about it, all right?

Hey, Sam,

where are my credit cards?

Why? I mean,

I've never seen you use your

credit cards by yourself before.

I just... I want to buy

a few things, that's all.

All I have is the cash

in my pocket.

Okay. All right.

Yeah, I'll overnight them.

Thanks, Sam. All right.

Can I get a car?

Just text me your address.

Now speaking of crazy,

there's Doris.

All right, I got to go, brother,

all right. We'll talk soon.

Bike it is.

Twenty, and there you go.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you, sir.

Have a good day.

- How are you?

- Good.

- We have more in the back.

- Excuse me?

More magazines

with your face on them.

Do you want me

to get those for you?

No, I'm good, thanks.

Lydia. We went

to high school together.

Right.

24.99, please.

So, Lydia,

you don't happen to know

where Josie lives, do you?

No.

Or where she works?

Thanks for shopping at Ed's.

Here you go.

That will be 8.69,

Mrs. Boudreaux.

Okay.

Oh, Judy, could you pop

into the back and tuck

that arrangement

for Ms. LeBlanc for me?

She's going to come by

this afternoon to pick it up.

- Sure.

- Thank you.

Ten...

twenty...

thirty...

forty...

fifty...

- Hi.

- I'm with a customer.

sixty.

You know, this is such

a pretty prayer plant,

Mrs. Boudreaux.

I think you picked out

the best one I have.

Thank you, dear.

It's for Kiera.

That is so thoughtful of you.

I just adore

truly thoughtful people.

Seven, eight...

Thank you, ma'am.

Now why don't you let me

help you out to your car.

Hi there, Mr. Boudreaux.
