Least Among Saints Page #2
You want to come over
and get some grub?
Sure.
Where'd you learn
to fight like that?
It's a long story.
Why?
Well, I mean,
there's this kid at school...
What, does he pick on you?
Yeah.
Do you fight back?
No.
How come?
I'm scared to.
Well, nothing wrong with that.
Everyone's scared of something.
Gotta be careful waking you up,
it's like diffusing a bomb.
Good morning.
You are definitely within
500 feet of me right now.
I missed you.
And there's a gun on your floor.
Don't think about it too hard,
you might hurt yourself.
You're not in high school
any more, Anthony.
That sh*t doesn't impress me.
And you f***ing ruined my lawn!
Why can't you just call?
Like any normal alcoholic,
stalking ex?
It's not my style.
Look, I know somewhere in that
circus of a head of yours...
you think this is some kind
of display of affection.
But it's not, okay?
You can't come here any more.
I can't sleep.
What?
Won't... don't want to.
Rather not.
I can't handle the dreams.
They keep coming all the time.
Even when I'm awake.
Come here and I'm near you...
and I sleep.
You never came back.
I'm here.
You never came back to me.
Don't go.
F*** you.
Anthony, just f*** you.
Perfect.
Hey, Anthony!
Aren't you forgetting something?
What, a kiss goodbye?
No, you're not leaving your
truck in front of my house.
Anthony!
Get out of here, Milo.
Hey! Help!
Anthony, come! I need you!
Who is it?
I need help, my mom!
Please!
Unfucking believable.
I don't know what's going on.
Something happened.
I need you, please!
Please! Help! Please!
Please hurry, I need you!
My mom... please!
My mom... she's...
Come, hurry!
She's in here.
Mom!
What happened?
Look, I don't know, man.
She's all f***ed up again.
Mom, Mom, Mom!
Come on, wake up, Mom!
Watch out, watch out.
What is this? What the f***?
Guys, she's fine.
Okay, she's fine.
That's it.
Oh, f***.
Oh, my god.
We gotta get her to a hospital.
Give me the keys to your car.
Give me the keys to your
f***ing car!
You're not taking her to the
hospital in my car, man!
Oh, sh*t, we can't take her to
the hospital in my car, man!
Goddamn it!
Goddamn it!
Watch out!
We gotta go, okay?
We gotta go to the hospital now!
Get the door! Get the door!
Go! Move, move, move!
She's fine, guys!
Get the car!
Get in the car! Go!
Get the f*** out of the way!
You're not taking my car,
please!
Get out of the f***ing way!
Come here!
We gotta go.
Wade, how long
has she been like this?
I-I don't know.
I came out of my room when
I heard that man yelling.
And then I came and got you.
Wade, you're gonna be okay,
okay?
Wade, you're okay,
buddy, okay? You're okay.
Hey, we need some help!
I need some help here!
Hurry up!
Please!
We need some help!
Hurry up! She's not breathing!
Guys, I need some help right now!
Hurry up!
What happened to her?
I don't know, she OD'd.
How long has she been like this?
I don't know.
Go! Move, move!
She has no pulse.
She's not breathing.
Sir, you have to wait here.
Do you know what she was using?
I don't, I found her
with a needle in her foot.
I don't know what was in it.
Is this her son?
Yeah.
Are you the father?
No, I live next door.
you want us to call?
Anyone we should contact?
Wade? Is there anyone?
Just wait over there.
Someone will come out
and speak with you soon.
Excuse me?
Do you have a pair of socks?
Come again?
Socks.
He left the house
with bare feet.
Um...
Yes, of course.
Are you here
for Cheryl Carpenter?
Yeah.
How is she?
She's in critical condition.
We received her
without a pulse.
She's on life support.
We've taken your mom to the
intensive care unit...
where she'll be more
comfortable.
And when she's ready,
I can take you in to see her.
Are you the father?
No... I'm a friend.
I can't let you go back there
with him if you're not a relative.
May I speak with you
for a moment?
Yeah.
Wade, just... wait right here,
okay?
I'll be right back.
She's brain dead.
The body will slowly shut down
and it'll happen soon.
He should get a chance
to say goodbye to his mom.
It's important.
He shouldn't have
to do this alone.
So...
Are you the father?
Yeah...
I'm the father.
Okay, good.
When will she wake up?
I don't know.
Wade... your mom is very sick.
The doctors have done
everything they can...
but they're not gonna
be able to save her.
Do you want to come
closer to your mom?
It's okay.
She's not in any pain.
You can just sit here
quietly with her.
Or if you want,
you can talk to her.
Tell her things.
See... if you whisper to her,
then she'll know you're here.
Do you want to tell me?
Then I can tell her for you?
Tell her that I love her.
She loves you, too.
Time of death, 5:20.
Don't...
Okay.
Social Services.
She'll take care
of things from here.
Thank you for what
you did in there.
I wish I could have done more.
It was good of you
to stay with him.
What's that?
Oh, it's a phrase in Latin.
What does it mean?
God will know His own.
Does He?
I don't know.
You need somewhere
to get cleaned up?
I'm sorry?
Your hand.
Oh.
There's a bathroom at the end of the hall.
Well, his mother is deceased.
His father's whereabouts
are unknown.
He has no extended family
to speak of.
We take him into protective
custody...
where we will find a bed
for him in a foster home.
Then his case will be filed
with Child Protective Services.
We'll investigate and try to determine
what's in the best interest of the child.
You brought them in?
Yeah.
And you're...
I'm...
Extended family, I heard.
I live next door.
Thanks for sticking around.
Least I can do.
How long until you have to take
the body to the city morgue?
Seven days.
I'll do my best to find someone
to claim her. No promises.
Listen, would you mind if I stick around
I don't feel right
about leaving him just yet.
Yeah, sure, I'm right here.
Can I use your phone?
My cell has no reception here.
Uh-huh.
So, she told me the deal.
I guess they're gonna set you up
with a new place to live.
I know what's going on.
When my mom was in jail,
I had to stay in these homes.
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
No, it's not.
It's gonna suck.
It's gonna f***ing suck
very much.
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't do that.
Don't hurt yourself.
Excuse me?
He hasn't eaten yet tonight.
Wait a sec, so you don't have
any beds available?
Oh, you don't have any beds,
period? Terrific.
I want to take him
to get some breakfast.
I can't let you do that.
Wait, what?
No, I'm not sending him
to County.
All right, he'll get eaten up there.
They'll put him on the floor.
He's on my watch now,
if anything happens, it's on me.
It's been a long night.
A lot's happened.
The cafeteria is open now.
It's just on the first floor.
I brought him here.
I'll bring him back.
Hurry back.
