Beautiful.

Look, I got fireflies.

- Did you get nervous?

- Oh, look at that.

- A little bit.

- Did you?

I may not have

your musical talent,

In the shower,

I do all right,

No. That's a very bad

mental image.

Can I keep them at home?

What's that?

The fireflies?

I don't think so, sweetie.

They might die.

Will they die in the jar?

No, sweetheart.

We just can't keep them

We'll let them go

when we get home,

We'll let them go.

Here.

- Mommy?

- Yeah?

I need to pee.

Emma, why didn't you go

when we stopped for pizza?

I didn't have to go then.

That's all right.

I got to get

Okay, honey,

Oh, Dad!

Oh, God! Oh!

Oh, baby!

It's okay, baby.

What happened?

Nothing, we hit a log.

You're gonna be all right.

Please don't cry.

Come on!

Come on, baby, breathe!

Breathe. Come on.

Where's Josh?

Get her in the car!

Daddy, what's wrong?

Oh, come back to me.

Get in the car!

Please, please, baby,

come on. Come on.

Oh!

Dad, my eye! My eye!

I know, I know.

Wait here,

I'll be back.

It really hurts.

Hi, how much for these?

$1.50.

Here.

Put these on your eye.

Peas! Are you serious?

Put them on your eye!

No, I'm not putting

cold peas on my eye!

Put them on your eye, Lou.

Don't give me a hard time!

Mr. Learner, our sergeant

would like a word, please.

Are they putting him

in the ambulance?

Is he going to be all right?

Momma?

Huh?

Is he gonna be okay?

Your daddy's with him.

Mr. Learner? The vehicle

that struck your son

was traveling

from that direction,

Sir? Can you describe

the vehicle for me?

Um... It was a truck

or an SUV.

Okay.

Did you happen

to recognize the make

It was dark blue.

What about the driver, sir?

Could you describe the driver?

I don't know.

He had a hat on,

or something was obscured...

Like a ball cap?

I don't know.

That's all right, sir.

Okay, Mr. Learner.

We can continue this

tomorrow. All right?

I'll get one of my guys

to drive you home.

Wait, what about my son?

I don't want

to leave him.

Sir, it's a crime scene,

okay? I'll...

I'll be here on your behalf,

sir. I'll stay with your boy

See to it that he's treated

with the utmost respect.

You have a wife

and a little girI, sir.

It's important

that you go home now

Is she okay?

Where are we going?

We have to go home.

We're going home?

No...

We're going home?

Please don't cry.

Norris, they're here!

Where have you been?

Calm down, Ruth.

Oh, my God!

Come here, sweetheart.

What happened to you?

Oh, my God, Lucas!

Sweetheart, let me see that.

How did you do this?

There was a log in the road

and we came around a bend

and we hit the log

and then his head

Why wasn't he wearing

his seatbelt?

- He was wearing his seatbelt.

- Sorry, Mom.

I took it off

to change the radio station.

I didn't know he took it off. I

would've told him to put it back on.

Oh, sweetheart, let me see.

Can you open your eye?

- No, it hurts.

- Oh.

Look at his eye,

Norris.

- Let me see that.

- Look,

Oh, my God!

What happened?

So where were you?

We were at a game,

the game ran late!

You know, one month

you have him for visitation,

just one month, and you

bring him home like this!

Every time

I cut you some slack,

You cut me some slack?

You're calling me

every time I take him

out of the house!

All right!

Give me a goddamn break!

You don't want anymore

bother from me? Okay!

Everybody take a step back.

Christ!

You have no idea

Let's get that

cleaned up.

Hey, Lou, you okay?

Yeah, Dad.

I'll see you

Yeah.

Can you get the door?

It's okay, honey,

we're home now.

WOInformation.

What state, please?

Connecticut.

What listing?

A police station in

Windham Harbor, please.

One moment, please.

I need you to be

a brave girI for me, Emma.

Josh isn't coming home.

He's not coming home?

Never?

He's with the angels now.

Where's Mommy?

No, come here.

Mommy!

Mommy! Where's Mommy?

It's sunny in Windham Harbor.

Temperature-wise,

up to 72 degrees.

Winds from the northeast

of eight miles per hour.

Clear skies

for the rest of the day.

Tonight, expect a low

in the mid-50's, with clear

It's 7.00 a.m.

Now for the local news.

Connecticut state troopers

are investigating a fatal accident...

on Reservation Road

outside Windham Harbor last night.

The victim

was a 10-year-old boy.

State Police are anxious

to talk to the driver...

And they appeal to anyone

who may have been...

between 8.45 and 9.15 p.m.

Where are you going?

I have to see the police

and pick up the car.

Can't they bring it here?

I need to talk

to them anyways.

Your mom should be here soon.

Don't be long.

I won't.

I love you.

Thank you.

All right,

get the other side. Ready?

Did you catch him?

No, sir,

not yet, I'm afraid.

'Cause I saw

an SUV out there.

There. Right, there,

up on that truck.

Oh, no. That's been there

since Saturday.

Right here, sir.

Right there on that

chair right there.

But is that the make, though?

Well, yeah. I mean,

dark, same shape.

Keep the change.

Hey.

Hey, Dwight.

Dwight.

Yeah?

Yeah, were you in court

this morning?

No, the transmission went

on the Explorer,

so I spent the morning

dealing with that.

How'd it go this weekend?

This weekend?

It was okay.

- Hey, Donna.

- Hey, Dwight.

Yeah, why?

Ruth called.

Said you were late,

you were belligerent,

and that you dropped Lucas off

with a black eye.

Did she happen to tell you

that we were at the game

so we were rushing home

and that's when

so poor Lucas

hit his eye

I mean... And then...

So we show up at her place,

and she's having

some kind of a sh*t fit.

Look, buddy,

you can't get into

If she drags you in front of

a judge again, you're screwed.

You're right.

Nora Fannelli's

in the waiting room.

F***.

Hi, Nora, how are you?

Bored. I have been waiting

for 40 minutes.

Yeah, sorry.

I had some trouble

You look good.

Have you lost some weight?

Except for the color,

they're all so similar.

It just happened so fast.

That's okay, sir,

take your time.

I'm sure

it will come back to you.
