Run the Tide

Stupid little

midget.

Ohh!

You punk.

What the hell

is wrong with you?

Hey!

Put on

something

clean.

Visiting hours

are short enough as it is.

Hurry!

All right.

Rey!

Rey!

All right.

I'm coming.

Hey,

horse face!

Hurry up!

Hey, come here.

Listen to me.

If you're

gonna give me

sh*t this morning,

I'll just

go right

back inside.

Hear me?

You done?

Sh*t.

Breakfast.

Rey,

what are

you doing?

Hold that.

Damn it.

Where's the bread?

I ate it.

What? All of it?

I just bought a whole

loaf two days ago.

I was hungry.

Unbelievable.

Okay, well, you...

You gotta eat

something, okay?

If we don't

get there in time,

you know

they're not gonna

let me see her,

and she's waiting.

Maybe you

should talk

to mom today.

You know the drill.

I'll take you there

whenever you

want to see her,

but I have

nothing to

say to her.

But she has some things

she needs to say to you.

It's important.

What?

Oliver, what is it?

Maybe you should

pull over.

No, I don't

need to pull over.

Just tell me.

God damn it, Oliver!

Just spit it out!

What?

Mom's getting out.

"And that's

when I knew

"what...

"How..."

Come on. We worked

too hard on this.

Come on. You can do it.

"How I had done you wrong.

"If I could eventfully...

"If I...

"If I could

"eventually

"tell you

I'm sorry,

i would, but

"i can't anymore.

"And I have to...

I have to

live with that."

Thank you,

Angie.

It's courageous...

To admit

when we're

wrong.

It's not a weakness.

Lola, you

ready to read

your letter?

You don't have it.

You say

that you

love Oliver.

Then prove it.

What kind of example

are you gonna

set for him?

That you face

your fears?

Or that you

run away

from them?

You ready to read?

There you go.

Is that good?

Yeah. Perfect.

Hi, mom.

Mmm, hi.

Oli bear.

Rey.

I'm glad you came.

Uh, I have

something to

tell you.

What is it?

I got

my beautician's

license.

That's

really cool!

And maybe when i

get out of here,

I can give

you a haircut?

Yeah. Be better

than a black eye.

Rey!

Yeah, will you, uh,

do me a favor, oli,

and give me

and your brother

a minute alone?

It's okay.

When are they

releasing you?

The 15th.

You mean in two days?

You've gotta

be kidding me.

Maybe if you came

to visit me,

you wouldn't have

been left in the dark.

Okay, that's

a load of sh*t.

You're free now.

You don't gotta worry

about him anymore

or me.

Wh... what are

you thinking,

that I'm just

gonna give

him to you?

No.

I'm taking him.

Bo's helping

me set up

a place in town.

He's my brother,

and I'm the one

that raised him.

I know.

I'm the one

that taught him.

I know!

I was the one that was

there for him

every single day

when he came home

from school crying

because kids kicked

the sh*t out of him.

Him asking me

what a "junkie"

and a "whore" was.

After all that,

you just want

to take him

away from me?

I don't want

to fight you.

Great. Don't.

You're lucky

i don't tell him

what you really are.

Rey...

How long

do you think

it'll take

for you

to end up

back here?

Huh?

Two years?

One?

Not even close.

No, no, no.

I'll give you a week.

Enough!

He's my son!

What happened

in there?

You bastard.

You knew

and didn't

say anything.

I reckon she

finally told you.

Yeah, why didn't you tell me?

Instead of

letting me get

blindsided like that?

What am i

supposed to do?

You know

i don't like getting

in the middle of it.

But you are

in the middle.

Look, I care for

you boys like

you're my own.

Okay? But these things,

your mother...

I mean,

god damn it

all to hell...

Why do you

keep protecting her

after everything

she's done to you,

to us?

Huh?

We've been

better parents to Oliver

than she ever was

or ever will be.

I'm not gonna

let her take him

from me.

I'm not.

Sh*t.

Michelle?

Rey?

Oh, my god!

Hi.

I, uh,

thought that

was you.

Yeah.

Um, how's,

how's Stanford?

Oh, I graduated, like,

a couple years ago.

Oh. You did?

Yeah.

Oh.

Uh, hey, but

have you heard of

beat street sf?

Uh, no.

Well,

you're looking at

their social media

strategist.

Oh.

Like, I'm

in charge of the

brand development.

Okay, yeah.

Got it.

Yeah.

Actually,

i have a card.

I have my own

extension

and everything.

Oh, jeez, wow.

That's cool.

Are you

in San Francisco?

Yeah, mmm-hmm.

That's...

That's awesome.

Happy for you.

You know,

i, I wanted

to reach out

or call you or,

I don't know,

write.

It was

a long time ago.

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, hey,

how's Oliver?

He's good.

No, he's

really good.

He's gotten

really big.

Really?

You should

come see him.

You probably wouldn't

even recognize him.

You know, you, um,

you should bring him

by Dave's joint tonight.

My whole family's

gonna be there.

I'm sure they'd

like to see you.

Pretty sure

your dad could go

without seeing me

for the rest

of his life.

Yeah.

Well, uh,

he won't

be there, so...

Oh.

Rey, my dad

passed away.

It was the cancer...

Finally got him.

That's...That's why

I'm here, you know.

We're having

his memorial

service, so...

I'm so sorry.

Uh...

Anyway, you,

you should come.

Hey, but if you

can't make it, don't...

Don't even worry.

I know this

is last minute.

No. No, I'll...

I'll be there.

Okay.

- Let's go, Gil!

- Do it again!

Come on.

Just get one more!

Come on, Gil.

Crush it!

Come on, Gil.

Ball!

Come on,

Oliver!

Let's go!

Protect the plate.

You got it.

Ball! Two strikes!

Fastball right over

the plate, buddy.

You got it!

- Strike three!

- Batter's out!

This music is lame.

I'm hungry.

Okay.

Just one more song.

Damn it, Rey!

Lights out!

Well, look what

the cat drug in.

Hello, Dave.

Hey.

Want some help?

Uh, nope.

I got it.

Thank you.

Hey, sis,

you okay?

Uh, yeah,

I'm good.

Thanks, Dave.

All right.

I'm gonna

have a smoke

if you need me.

Thanks.

You know,

you've gotten better.

What?

The song

you played

tonight,

it was

really good.

You heard it?

Yeah.

I was outside.

Oliver was giving me

a hard time,

so we stayed

out there,

but, yeah,

i saw you play.

Okay. All right.

So, uh,

what song

did I sing?

Um...

It went a, a little

something like this.

Is this tuned?

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

All right.

Okay. All right.

Thank you.

I believe you.

You were here.

Oh, my gosh. Stop!

Okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

Stop. Thank you.

I believe it.

All right

I'll tell

you what.

I'll stop

if you

sing for me.

No.

No?

No.

Okay.

Fine, fine.

You want

to hear it?

Okay. Okay.

All right.

All right, get ready.

Mmm-hmm.

Front row.

Good.

Okay.

That was the one.

Why don't

we go out

to our spot...

Like old times?

I don't know.

I, um...

I have to

get up early

for a flight.

Well, I gotta be up

in, like, five hours

to take Oliver

to school. So?

I tell you what.

Why don't

we drink one down

for your dad?

Those look

like a seahorse.

My dad

used to tell me

all the names

of the constellations

when I was little.
