to do stuff together, Mom?

Do you

remember that?

Do you think I not know

about the liquor

you hide in

the cabinets?

Ever since you've

started to drink,

you've never

been the same.

You are such

a hypocrite.

I'm

sorry.

I'm

sorry.

I hate

you.

Honey?

Caleb!

Open this door

right now!

Open this door

right now!

I need to tell

you something.

Open

it!

Caleb, open

this door!

Open

Up!

Open this

door!

Honey.

Oh.

Mom?

Mom?

Hey. hey.

wake up.

Mom!

Oh my God,

what's wrong?

Mom.

How long is

she, uh...

A coma can

last a day

or much,

much longer,

but she can

hear you.

Well, Denise, you look

beautiful as usual.

Thank you,

Mr. Sanders.

Pilot here

yet?

Yes, he's out

preflighting the plane.

Great.

There's fresh

coffee.

Why don't you go

out and check.

Make sure

the Wi-Fi's working.

Yes,

sir.

So, Santa

Barbara?

Yes, Santa

Barbara.

Business

or pleasure?

What do

you think?

That's

too bad.

Are we ever gonna

have that dinner

you promised

me?

Ah, sorry, this new

building's got me

working around

the clock.

Well, all work

and no play--

Makes Jack a very,

very wealthy boy.

I'll tell you what,

Denise, um,

Saturday night, eight

o'clock, you busy?

:3:.

Great, I will

see you there.

Okay-

Wait,

where?

I don't

know.

Pick

it.

Text

me.

No.

Make it

work.

Yeah,I know that's

what you do, so do it.

Bye.

Good

morning.

Hello,

Stu pack.

The usual,

Mr. Sanders?

Yes, Tennille,

please.

And for you,

Mr. Stupack?

Uh, just

an ice tea.

Okay, I'll

be right back.

Thank

you.

Thank

you.

Okay, so we decided

to put the staircase

here on the engineer's

recommendation.

Engineer's

recommendation?

Oh, he wouldn't sign

off on the project

unless we put

it there.

It's no

good.

You set up a meeting

with that engineer.

I already

tried.

He's

booked.

The staircase goes

where I say it goes.

That's it,

end of story.

Okay, I'll

get on it.

Good.

Architecture used to be

about beauty, functionality.

If it's not beautiful,

then why are we doing it?

I used to

be an artist.

I don't go running

around telling people,

but I had not

a dime to my name.

I was always paint

splattered,

and I was

really...

And one day

I was walking downtown,

and I realized what

good, really,

is a painting

if there's

no wall to hang

it on?

How's our usual

coming, Tennille?

It's coming,

sir.

Just one

ice cub.

I hear a rumor

it turns to water.

Yes, sir,

I know.

Captain and Tennille.

Thank

you.

Anything else

for you, sir?

No, that's

it.

Just get us

to Santa Barbara.

You got

it.

Thank

you.

Mr. Jones.

Sorry to wake

you, Mr. Jones.

Caleb.

Call me

Caleb.

Caleb, I think

it'd be a good idea

if you went home

and got some rest.

How much longer

until she's better?

Too soon to tell

right now.

She could be in this state

for a little while.

I promise I'll let you know

if there's any change.

Right now she needs

to get some rest

and so

do you.

I know I'm

not family,

but if you need

anything, call me.

Don't get

into trouble.

Oh!

Dude, you're

late!

Hey, I was editing

your last video.

Oh, I was

ripping, right?

You know

it.

There

you go.

Jerry, get us

a few beers, man.

You got

it, bro.

Hey, hey, I told

you to stop

with the "bro" stuff,

alright?

I'm sorry,

man.

Yeah, don't let

that happen again.

You got

it.

Yeah, hey, can

I have one?

I don't

think so.

Okay, I'll just, um, kick

it right here then.

Joey, here

you go, man.

Nah, I'm

good.

I'm just

gonna...

It's

cool.

No, you're gonna

open that

and you're gonna

drink it.

Okay-

Oh,

man.

Alright, down

to business, huh?

Wow.

Very

funny.

Who, who

we got?

Seriously,

who we got?

Any

prospects?

What's

going on?

This new guy

named Caleb.

What's

up, man?

Yo.

Box is

too full.

Wouldn't

fit.

Than ks.

Ouch.

Excuse

me.

I'm here to see

Mr. Sandco.

You mean

Mr. Sanders?

Yeah,

whatever.

Name?

Caleb.

Okay, um-

I'm sorry,

but unless you have

an appointment

with Mr. Sanders,

I can't--

He's a very

busy man.

Will you just tell

him I'm here?

Yeah, I'm

sorry, sir.

I have a Caleb

here to see you.

Oh, no,

no, no.

Um, he's

just a...

I'm his

son.

Tell

him.

Sir, he,

um, says.

He says he's

your son.

Yes,

sir.

Sorry, he's

about to step

into a really

important meeting,

so, um, he asked that I get

your telephone number.

My phone

number?

Are you

serious?

Sir, I'm

so sorry.

Hold all

my calls.

Listen, I'm really

busy here.

So, what I think

we should do is

I think we should

plan a time where

we can really

sit and talk.

I'll take you

to dinner.

You name

the place.

My

treat.

Wow,

that is awfully

nice of you.

Why don't you go ahead

and just take your meeting,

'cause I don't know what

I'm doing here anyway.

Wait.

No, see I spent eighteen

years waiting, Jack.

Eighteen.

It's no wonder she never

told me about you.

Then how did

you find me?

By accident.

She knows

you're here?

The last time I checked

she was in a coma.

What

happened?

Do you

care?

Do I care?

Yes, of course,

I care.

I care.

Cancer.

Uh.

Listen, I'm, uh,

I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.

Uh, if there's

anything I can do.

If you need

me to--

A little late

for help.

Just a little

late for that.

Listen, son,

your mother--

Do not call

me son, okay?

Never call

me that!

Please keep your voice

down, alright?

This is

nothing...

I'm

sorry.

I--

Left.

You

left.

You see, I'm what society

refers to as a bastard.

You know what

that makes you?

Uh-huh,

never mind.

Here.

You can

keep these.

She worked two jobs so she

never had to cash those,

and there is no way that

I'm gonna cash 'em now.

I know she never

cashed the checks.

She never cashed

a check,

but I kept writing

the checks.

I wrote

those checks.

Nice move,

Jack.

Why.

huh?

Why?

To make you feel better

about yourself?

No.

Forget

it.

Forget

me.

Forget

her.

Caleb.

Stay here, we need

to talk this through.

I've got more important

things to do.

Dear

Beth,

I don't know how to say

what I wanna say,

except to just

say it.

You know how much

I love you,

and someday even

want to marry you,

but I'm just not ready

to be a father right now.

I was offered an internship

at a great architectural firm

in Boston, and it's

a great opportunity for me.

I know you'll make

the right choice.

You always

do.

Love,

Jack."

Nice combo,

bro.

Oh, Ryder, what's

up, buddy?

What's up,

Tim.

Good to see

you, man.

You should come skate

the bowl with us.

Yeah, let's

do it.

Actually, you

know what?

I'll meet you

over there.

Right

on.

See you

then.

Joey, is that

the guy?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's

him.

Go follow

him.

Alright.

Hey.

Caleb.

Caleb, wait

up, man.

Hey, man,

wait up.

Wait

up.

What are you,

stalking me?

No, I'm sorry, I just,

I really need to talk

to you about

something.

It's

important.

It better

be good.

Do you wanna make
