Run the Tide Page #3

I mean, hell, you're gonna

have to junk it anyway.

100?

What was I supposed to do?

How are we

gonna get home?

I don't have

the money to fix it.

Do you have

3,000 bucks on you?

No, I didn't think so.

100 ducats, brother!

Hey!

We're not selling.

Not for 100.

Want the car?

The price is 500.

Well, what's he

talking about? Here.

100, as we agreed.

You know,

it's actually his car.

What? He's, like,

eight years old.

I'm 10.

He's 10.

Whatever, man.

10-year-olds don't own cars.

Look, our mom

left it to him

when she died...

Last week.

Yeah, but you and I,

we already made a deal.

I know, okay?

But that car, that's all

that's left of her.

That's all he's got.

She used to take me

on road trips...

Like this one.

Yeah? What'd she die of?

She killed herself.

That's why we were

headed to the ocean,

to spread her ashes there.

You know, I, I lost

my mother early, too, kid.

All right, everything is

gonna be all right.

So how about 300?

Okay, this is

my final offer,

and I am

being nice, kid,

because of your mother

and all.

My mother

would have told me

only to accept 500,

and I keep the tie

for the funeral.

Little sh*t.

One, two, three, four.

That's 500.

Take it before i

change my mind.

Bo...

There's enough room

in here for both of us.

Bo.

What?

Take off your boots.

Don't.

What's wrong?

Just don't do that.

Don't do what?

I'm just gonna sleep

on the floor, okay?

I gotta pull over.

Bo, Bo, we're so close.

And what are we gonna do

if we find them?

I mean, you just gonna

take Oliver from Rey?

Over and over,

those boys ain't had

nothin'

but disappointment

and heartbreak.

But you know

what kept them going?

They always

had each other.

Now you want

to take that, too.

You want

to take that away.

I found this

hidden on your desk.

You only put it on

when you came

to see me, didn't you?

You don't know

how hard it was

to me to keep

putting this thing on.

I mean, there are times

I just wanted

to Chuck it, you know,

just throw it all away

after what you did.

I'd think about leaving,

you know.

You'd be waiting for me

to visit.

One day, I just wouldn't

be there. I'd be gone.

When I was in prison,

i felt so alone.

Especially when I realized

how much pain

i had caused you.

Sometimes I wanted

to kill myself for it.

You used to talk

about a garden.

You told me

you wanted to plant

a huge garden

in the desert.

An oasis.

You wanted

to create life there.

Yeah, plant fruit trees

and grow vegetables.

Yes.

And for six years,

I lead myself

to believe

that when I got out,

that we could create

that life together...

A good one.

You, me, Oliver.

What about Rey?

I mean, you ever

think about him?

Man...

We're here

to see Michelle Turner.

Have a seat, please.

Hi.

Yes?

Yes, is, is

Michelle here?

Uh, she is here.

She's just really busy,

in and out

of meetings all day.

Okay. Well, did you

let her know

that we're

here waiting?

Sir, she'll be out

to meet you when she's ready.

Okay.

Hey, grab your stuff.

Come on.

No. Sir!

Excuse me!

Michelle?

- Sir, excuse me! Sir!

- Michelle?

What are you doing?

Excuse me!

Do you know

where Michelle Turner is?

Sir!

Anyone?

Michelle?

Rey!

What the hell

are you doing here?

I'm so sorry, Michelle.

They just barged in.

Do you want me

to call security?

Oh, no, no.

Um, I got it. Thank you.

Sorry. Could you just

come with me real quick?

Yeah.

Do you know we

were waiting outside

in that lobby

for over two hours?

I'm in meetings

all day. I mean,

you can't just come

barging in to where I work.

Rey, that, that night

we spent together...

Hey, you all right?

Yeah. Yeah. Um...

Know what? I'll be back in

in a minute.

Sweetie,

who's this guy?

He's an old friend.

We went

to high school together.

Could you just give me

one more minute?

Wait. You have

a boyfriend?

Fiance.

Uh...

Why would you

tell me to come here

if you have a fiance?

You asked him

to come here. But...

It's not even

like that, Luke.

I ran into him

at my dad's funeral.

No! That's not true!

We never even went

to a funeral!

Oliver, please.

Hey.

Vacation, my ass.

You never want

to go back, do you?

Yes.

No. No, you don't.

Come on.

'Cause you're a liar, Rey.

You're a liar.

You're a liar!

I want to talk to mom

right now.

Okay. Okay, we will.

No! Right now!

Relax!

Right now! Right now!

Oliver. Oliver, please.

No.

You shut your face,

you b*tch!

Slut! Whore!

All right, that's enough!

Hey!

Jack!

Oh, my god!

Rey!

Rey, wait! Please!

What?

This is...

This is messed up, okay?

This is really messed up,

and it's my fault.

Yeah.

I didn't think I would ever

hear from you again, okay?

I didn't think that you

would actually come.

Well, I did.

Yeah.

Yeah, you did.

What did you think

was gonna happen?

I don't know.

I guess, like an idiot,

I thought things

could still work out.

I gotta look

for my brother.

Hey! Hey!

Where'd you

get this car?

That's

my son's car.

Heh. Your son's?

Talking about

two brothers,

one about 25 years old,

the other a little smart-ass

about 10, like that high?

Yes.

Aren't you supposed

to be dead?

What?

That piece of sh*t

broke down.

I picked them up yesterday.

Where did they go?

I don't know.

I mean, they hopped

on a bus yesterday morning.

They were headed

someplace by the coast.

I mean, apparently,

they were going there

to spread your ashes.

Come here.

Let me see those.

I'll give them back.

They're running the tide.

What?

That boat. See?

Here. Look.

They're going

to where the tide moves,

where it changes.

Why?

The fish feed where the tide

churns everything up,

so the fishermen,

they go there, too.

That's where

all the life is.

Hey...

I know you're mad, okay?

You're a liar,

and I believed you.

I didn't mean to,

Oliver, okay?

I just don't want

to lose you.

Well, I don't want to run

away from anything anymore.

All I wanted was for you

and mom to stop hurting.

And I wanted us

to be together again.

Just, just come inside,

all right? Come on.

You can't stop me

anymore.

I want mom.

You don't have mom.

You got me.

That's it.

So get inside.

No.

I said get inside!

Make me.

What?

I said make me.

Okay.

Are you crazy?

Oliver! Stop it!

Don't let me take away

the inner half!

What do you when someone

tries to take something

from you, huh?

Ow!

Protect

the goddamn plate!

Protect that, b*tch!

You don't know

what she is.

I don't care!

Let me in.

Or what?

Ah, sh*t.

Listen to me!

You don't know her

like I do,

all right?

Let's get that straight.

She doesn't care about us.

She never did.

You're a liar!

You're a big,

fat, stupid liar!

She used to leave us,

Oliver,

sometimes for days

at a time, okay?

And when she'd come home,

she'd start yelling about

the house not being clean,

or she'd find something else

to blame us for.

And I knew when it

was coming, all right?

I knew when Bo was at work
