and be the star student.

Date pretty girls

and go off to college,

and get a great job.

And now have

an amazing home and family?

And what do I got?

Huh?

What do I got?

I got nothing, man!

I've got nothing!

I've got a crap job in a cold,

dark place alone!

I never could meet anyone.

Was too afraid to

even talk to people

all because I saved you!

- You can't keep blaming

everything on that!

- Yes, I can! I can!

Okay?

And now you're just jealous

because your daughter sees me

as the father she's never had.

And your wife?

Mmm, she loves me.

- You are delusional!

[ gunshot ]

- Sorry, brother.

[ cell phone beeps ]

- Hey, Dad,

we did great...

Oh.

- Hop in.

- Where is my dad?

- He got caught up

with some work stuff.

Sent me instead.

- I thought mom said

you were leaving.

- Yep. I am soon.

Hop in.

- Yeah, okay.

- Made you one of my smoothies.

- Thanks.

- I think it went really well.

- Yeah, we made our goal

and then some.

- Thanks.

- Bye.

- You said David

and Eric were fishing?

- Yeah?

- I just saw David

pick Laura up.

- Eric said he'd

pick her up on his way home.

Did you see him?

- It was just David.

Well, I mean,

I'm sure it's fine.

- Sure.

- What did you give me?

- It's okay, sweetie.

Just sleep.

We'll be home soon.

[ cell phone rings ]

- Babe, please just call

or text me back

as soon as you can, okay?

- Laura's not

picking up either.

- I have a terrible feeling.

- Maybe they

just went to dinner.

- Eric was with his brother.

They went fishing.

Eric was gonna

tell him to leave.

- Okay, but do you really think

that David would hurt Eric?

- I don't know.

- I'm sure everything's fine!

- Eric?

Eric, are you here?

Laura?

Laura, oh, Laura.

Oh, my God.

Laura?

Laura, baby, come on.

Come on, wake up.

We gotta go.

- What happened?

- We have to

get outta here right now.

Can you swing

your legs around? Come on.

- I can't...

- How did this happen?

- Uncle Dave.

- Okay. Do you know where he is

or where your father is?

- I can't...

- Okay, okay,

it's okay, it's okay.

Come on.

We gotta go.

Okay, okay.

- Mom...

- Shh. Shh.

We're almost there.

David.

- Hey, Kay.

- Where's Eric?

- He's gone.

Oh, you woke her up.

You see, I thought it would be

a lot better if she slept.

This is gonna be

a tough transition.

- Damn you, David,

tell me where my husband is!

- Hey. Calm down.

- David, please just...

tell me where my husband is.

- Let's not pretend that

Eric was some sort of

fantastic husband

or father, all right?

We all know that he wasn't.

We all know that I've done

more for this family

in the short time that I have

been here than he's ever done.

Admit it, Kay.

Admit it!

When I came here,

you were empty.

I saw it in your eyes, Kay.

An empty soul with a void

that needed to be filled.

Filled by a real man, me.

I deserve this family,

all right?

Eric? He's done nothing

to deserve you!

- Did you kill

my husband, David?

- Oh, please, you two.

he's not worth

a single one of your tears.

- Answer me.

- Please, Uncle Dave,

just let us go.

- No, mm-mmm.

You're not going anywhere.

You finally have

a real man in the house.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

[ whistling ]

- Son, are you okay?

What happened?

[ coughing ]

- Oh, my God!

You've been shot!

I'm calling 911.

- My wife and my daughter...

- David?

I know it's been hard for you.

And I know it's been unfair.

You're right.

Eric does owe you.

If not for you,

he would have never

had the opportunities

that he had.

He would have never

had the life that he had.

You rescued him.

You gave him his life.

I see that.

I see you, David.

You deserved better.

You sacrificed yourself

for your brother

and, in return,

they stole your life.

It wasn't right.

I agree with you.

You are a better man

than Eric.

He hasn't been there for us,

for me, in years.

I've been basically

a single mom this whole time,

handling everything

to do with the family

with zero help from him.

He broke my dreams, too.

My career.

And the happiness

I wanted to have at home.

I've been so lonely.

I would be lucky to have a

man like you around the house.

I can't wait

for the life we talked about.

And I could become a lawyer

so that I can protect you.

Imagine that.

Somebody defending you

for once.

And you'll be here,

always here, for me

in our home together,

our family.

- That's all I want.

- Uncle Dave, having you here

has been good for me, too.

You talked to me

and you cared about school.

Dad never did.

I felt like I could rely on you

when you stood up for me.

Mom was right.

It's like you're

my dad already.

- Thank you both.

Hey, it's all gonna be

different now.

So you want me to stay, yeah?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- David, this

is gonna take time.

- Yeah, yeah.

Hey, okay.

No!

- Ah!

- Sit down!

Ah!

Down!

- Laura!

Are you okay, baby?

You sick son of a b*tch!

- Eric is dead!

Your old life is over!

It's me now and, as soon

as you can accept that,

we can move on with our lives.

- Leave my family alone!

- I am your family!

[ police sirens ]

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, what have you done?

No, no, no, no.

- David, just

let Laura go, okay?

Please, I'll stay here

with you.

I'll protect you from them.

Please just let her go.

[ heavy breathing ]

- Freeze! Drop your weapon!

I said drop it!

[ gunshot ]

- Ah! Ah! Ah!

[ Laura crying ]

- It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

- House is surrounded.

EMT has been dispatched.

- This is Unit 447.

Suspect is under control.

- ...has been wounded

and apprehended.

- Hey, Mom?

Look.

- Oh!

Honey, let me help you.

- No, no.

No, I got it.

I spent a lot of time

on this recipe

so I want to make sure

it is served properly.

All right.

- Thank you.

- There you go, ladies.

Dinner is served.

- Looks amazing, babe.

- Thank you.

So how's it feel to be

the math champ of Brisbane?

- It feels pretty great.

[ laughs ]

- Sorry I had to miss it.

Mmm, pretty good recipe.

So the biggest question with

both of my ladies in school,

who's gonna watch

Channing Tatum movies with me?

[ laughing ]

- Maybe the neighbors.

- The neighbors?
