That I've abandoned you?

Dinner's almost ready.

Yes, sir?

I'm here for

the Josh Learner case.

The boy that was killed

on Reservation Road.

Can I have your name, sir?

It's Dwight Arno.

I have some important

information concerning...

Hey, Jackie,

where's Emelda?

I need a hand out here!

I'm dying!

She's on her break.

She'll be back in five.

I'll get the case officer

for you, sir.

Mr. Arno.

What took you so long?

Come on.

Steve called a while ago

and said you'd be

We're just making sure

that your client doesn't have

a reoccurrence of

the last incident.

Hey, Sarge,

take a look at this.

Last incident?

Yeah, he's going around

photographing damaged SUVs.

He scared the daylights

out of a Saudi diplomat.

Lucky he didn't

get himself shot.

Now he's got it in his head

somehow that the diplomat's

and there's a big cover-up.

It's a total mess.

Sarge, I need you

to sign this report.

Yeah, give me a minute.

All right, here's

the reality of the case.

We're three weeks into it

and we really don't have

I got a dark-colored SUV

with a grill guard.

It's like finding

a needle in a haystack.

To be frank with you,

if the guy doesn't walk

and give himself up,

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to

I'm hoping you can talk

to your client

Yeah, listen, Sarge,

there's something else

Hey, Joe.

Can you tell Sergeant Burke

I'm so jammed up.

Listen, this is the file.

The autopsy report

and everything.

I'm gonna have

one of my guys

and hand it off to you, okay?

I gotta run.

Hey, Callaghan.

Can you copy this for Mr. Arno

Yeah, sure thing, Sarge.

Hey, Joe,

what was that number?

You have one

First voice message.

Mr. Arno,

it's Ethan again. I've

Please call me back

when you can.

Did you get my question

about diplomatic immunity?

Don't...

Yes, uh...

You okay?

Yeah. I just had a dream.

Wait. Just hold on.

Just give me a second.

Sh*t.

Wanna stop?

It's okay.

Look at me.

- Honey?

- What?

Is it me?

What are you talking about?

Do you blame me?

Oh, Grace,

don't be ridiculous.

What are you

talking about?

You won't even

look at me.

What do you mean

I don't look at you?

Why can't we

just talk about it?

Oh, come on,

this isn't about you!

It's the killer's fault!

It's the son of a b*tch

that stole our son away!

That's who's to blame!

Mommy. Mommy.

What time is it?

Dad's asleep downstairs.

I'm going to be late

and there's nothing

Well, that doesn't sound

very good, does it?

Come here.

Why don't we go down

together and see

Okay.

- Yeah?

- It's in my backpack.

Okay.

I'm gonna have piano lessons

this afternoon.

Jake, high five.

Look at that,

he won't do it for me.

High five.

It's amazing.

You know the only one

Hey, Dad! Dad!

Yeah?

Where are you going?

Hey.

You forgot where I live?

Huh? No, I left my wallet

at the bank, so I was

Got your books?

- Yeah, I'll go get them.

- Hey, Ethan.

Mr. Arno?

What brings you here?

Oh, my daughter

takes piano lessons

Oh, yeah, yeah.

She's good at that.

That's your boy?

Yeah, Ruth's...

Ruth's my ex-wife.

Oh.

Listen, I've left you

a number of messages.

I'm sorry, you know,

I've been out of the office

Well, when would be

a good time to get together

'cause there's some things

I'd like to talk about.

Okay, well, let me talk

to Shelly and we'll try

I'll be around this weekend

as well, so give me a call.

Oh, I got my kid this weekend.

I don't get much time

- Bye, Mr. Learner.

- Bye-bye.

- Hey, Dad!

- Okay, well,

- Have fun.

- Hey, baby.

Bye, Mom.

See you, Emma.

Bye, Lucas.

Really good.

Keep practicing.

I didn't know

you knew Dwight.

Yeah, he's helping me

with some legal stuff.

Good luck with that.

All right, you take care.

Bye.

See you.

Bye, Luke.

Come on, honey,

we got to get your mom.

So, your mom's teaching

music lessons again?

Just that girI.

Her brother Josh

In that car crash

the day we went to Fenway.

No, I don't think

it was the same day, man.

Did you know that kid?

I saw him around.

He was a bit of a dweeb,

You know his dad?

Huh? Yeah. I'm doing

some legal work for him.

Did he say

anything about that?

Like what, Dad?

I don't know.

So I was thinking,

I don't know, we get

and some snacks.

What do you think?

Sounds good.

But do you have money?

Why? Did your mom tell you

I don't have any money again?

No, you told me

you left your wallet

Oh. No, no, no,

I got some extra cash.

Let's go Red Sox.

Okay, sit down.

Do you think mom

would let me live with you

I think that's a talk

for another day, buddy.

All right,

we're missing the game.

Come on, guys.

What is this? Wait.

What are you doing?

Who said you could take this?

Hey, hold on a minute.

Who said you could do this?

Grace!

What are you doing?

No, give me this!

Let him take it.

No! No, he can't take this.

Have I no say in this?

Sure.

All of his stuff.

Sure, if you wanna talk to me

now, you can have a say in it.

Maybe you have some advice

for me. Maybe there's a tip...

His clothes! His books!

... on the Internet

His notebooks

with his writing?

...that tells you

how to deal with

Maybe they say

you should keep them...

What are you talking about?

... hold on to them,

Why wouldn't I be angry?

Why aren't you angry?

Here's what I care about!

Yeah? What?

My son is dead!

He's not coming home to me!

He's not coming home to me!

I'm trying to figure out

how to live!

How to not go crazy!

Well, I'm not gonna

live my life knowing...

...that our son's killer

is still out there!

That's what I

can't live with!

I don't see why

you can't see that!

She needs looking after

and I need to look after her.

If you can't help me

with that, then you get out!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to our fall concert.

We've all worked very hard

on this, and so

What do you get

when you cross poison ivy

A rash of good luck.

That is correct.

What do you call

a deer with no eyes?

No ideer.

What do you call a deer

with no eyes and no legs?

Still no ideer.

If a man speaks

in the middle of the forest

with no woman there

to hear him,

Yes.

Correct.

If con is the opposite of pro,

then what is the opposite

Congress!

Ladies and gentlemen,

it is a draw!

Our next performer

will be Emma Learner

This is for my brother, Josh.

I'm lucky to have such

smart women around me.

It was so, so beautiful.

Thank you, Mom.

Thank you.

You were so good,

baby. Come here.

Good night, Grace.

Take care.

Not as good as you.

So, maestro,

what's the next date?

What, Lincoln Center

or Symphony Space?

- Carnegie Hall?

- Dad, don't be silly.

What? What?

I'm not being silly.

Emma,

thank you so much.

You're such

an inspiration.

- Lou!

- You were wonderful.

Lou!

Oh, no, that's fine.

Our prayers were

with you the entire time.

Your daughter is great.

Thank you.

You must be very proud

of Emma tonight.

Hey, Lou!

Lou!

Ethan?

Our composer's waiting.

She wants to go celebrate.
