first-string tailback himself,

Kent had nurtured

his son to play

since his fledgling

days in pee-wee.

Football served

as a common language

for which they had

no substitute.

Remember when you saw her

for the first time?

Kissed her lips?

Touched her soft skin?

Do you remember when you said

"I do" and meant it?

Well, we do, too.

But at AshleyMadison.com,

we know that nothing

lasts forever.

And so if you are ready,

if you are truly ready,

then we are happy to bring

you back to those

"Remember When" experiences

with someone new,

someone exciting,

someone anxious

to rekindle their own.

AshleyMadison.com.

Ugh.

On September 27th, 2013,

after 36 years of space travel,

the Voyager finally

exited our solar system

and entered

uncharted territories.

But not before taking

this photo of Earth

from 3.7 billion miles away.

Yes, this is us.

Who are you texting?

Just a friend from school.

Uh-oh,

"just a friend from school"?

I think my daughter

is texting a boy.

So what's his name?

I'm pretty sure

you can let me text

without the inquisition.

Look who's back for more.

I know what's been

going through that

dirty little mind of yours.

Have you been following

my instructions

like a good little boy?

Good.

Um, hi!

Hi!

Hi, what is all this?

We're doing a national

talent search for kids,

ages 6 to 16,

who have an interest in acting.

Oh.

Do you have

any performing experience?

This is, like, perfect!

The application includes

just standard

profile information.

And we are also going to want

her to write an essay

on where she sees herself

in 10 years.

Hannah knew

that her future would include

a large house with a swimming

pool in Los Angeles,

an expensive car

with tinted windows

to prevent paparazzi

from snapping photographs

as she went shopping,

and an attractive boyfriend

who would be famous,

but perhaps

not quite as famous as her.

She mentioned all of this

in her essay.

You were so pretty up there!

How cool would that be!

To, like, actually be

on a TV show?

Pretty cool.

When I think of all the

auditions and rejection

and dinners and drinks

when I lived in LA...

For you, it could be as simple

as filling out a form.

Uh...

Hey, what's up?

Um...

Nothing. I just thought I'd sit with you,

if it's okay.

Yeah...

Okay.

So that took courage.

It's no big deal.

I just came over and sat down.

I mean quitting football.

Oh.

Yeah, I guess so.

How'd you know

about that, anyway?

Seriously?

Like, everybody knows.

There's an article

and everything.

Why... Why'd you quit?

I just realized...

It didn't matter.

Well, just like that?

Do you know Pale Blue Dot

by Carl Sagan?

Uh...

I've heard of Carl Sagan.

It's just...

It's about how...

We're just made up of

billions of molecules.

Like, the same molecules

that have been around

since the Big Bang.

And they'll be around

until eventually

the universe crunches

into nothing.

I find that comforting.

Okay.

The actions of, like,

Hitler, Gandhi,

Jesus Christ, mean

absolutely nothing, then...

It's no big deal

if I don't play football.

It's no big deal

if I come over here

and I sit at your table.

There were many

other things that Tim wished

to share with Brandy.

Most notably, that his

mother had left him

and his father for California

at the beginning of the summer

and had kept in touch

mainly through Facebook.

But he resisted.

While he knew, cosmically,

that nothing mattered,

he also realized that

something about

talking to Brandy did matter,

at least to him.

And this was enough.

So, what do you think the chances

are of Timmy coming back out?

Yeah, I don't know.

His heart just didn't seem

to be into it, you know?

I'm hoping it's a phase, but

this divorce has been, you know,

it's been rough on both of us.

I know you have no perspective,

fresh wounds and all, but

right now you can hit anything.

Yeah, well... I'm just not

in the hitting mood, you know.

Oof! What a waste.

Red, red, go, white, white!

White, white.

Go, red, red!

Red, white.

Cute.

Red, white, white,

all together, let's fight!

Go red, red...

God!

Hope you can make it, ma'am.

Ready? Hut.

Hey!

Hey, you were, uh... You were

pretty awesome out there.

- Thanks.

- You're cute, too.

Shouldn't have been that close.

All right, guys, hey.

Here we go.

What I want you to do

is look at this number

and tell me

what it means to you.

Yeah, go ahead.

It's the day

the terrorists attacked

the World Trade Center?

That's right, Regina.

Other than the attack

on Pearl Harbor,

it's the only time a foreign

force attacked anything

on U.S. soil.

So what I want you to do is,

I want you to pair off

and you're gonna find

someone to interview

that remembers that day.

All right, on Friday, we're

gonna give a presentation

on how that day

changed our country.

Allison Doss had

developed a crush

on Brandon Lender

in seventh grade.

It had been her greatest hope

that he would be her first kiss.

Brandon remained the object

of Allison's affection

despite having once said,

within earshot,

"I'd f*** her

if I could find the hole."

Mmm, watch me.

I can tease you right back.

Mmm.

Mmm...

Perky.

No tattoos.

P*ssy is...

So, Liz, I'm hoping

you got a chance to implement

some of the Internet

safety protocol

we talked about last week.

Um, yeah.

Uh, I think we're doing good.

I think my kids are safe.

So, you have all your

daughter's passwords?

Oh, hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

Uh, my name's Kent.

Is this about the video games

and stuff?

Oh, yeah, have a seat.

Hi, Kent. Welcome.

Donna, why don't you tell us

what brought you here tonight?

Thanks. Um, well,

my daughter is getting to an age

where she's starting to develop.

And, you know,

I was just wondering, um,

what the laws were about

what you can and can't

post on the Internet.

That's an excellent question.

Because in our state,

the laws are far more lenient

than they should be.

They are?

Yeah.

If someone is sending photos

to your daughter...

Well, um...

Yes, but I'm also

actually wondering about if...

If she were to send her own.

Like, if she were to take

a picture of herself

in a bathing suit

or underwear or, you know...

Oh, I see.

Donna, I know our kids aren't

thinking about their futures.

Hannah's very driven.

I bet she is.

Before you go, I want to

give you a pamphlet

about the dangers of selfies.

Great.

- Thanks, that's helpful.

- Okay.

Okay. Um...

Uh...

Did you guys know anyone

who was, um, inside?

Like, in it? Like actually

inside one of the buildings?

No...

We had friends

who were in New York,

but no one got hurt.

Somehow that didn't

make it any less scary.

Um, how...

How did you guys, like, find out

that 9/11 was happening

and everything?

Oh, yeah, did you

get a text or what?

No.

There were no texts.

The reason we got cell phones

was to make sure we could

get ahold of each other

in case it ever happened again.
