You're gonna

have a new house.

A new school. New friends.

Maybe a new school uniform.

Would you like that?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah?

How does the water feel?

About room temperature.

Really?

Room temperature.

I never got around to

teaching you, did I?

You left before

I got better.

You're feeling

better now, aren't you?

You want to

come this way?

You know how hard it would be to

swim with those on your feet?

Uh...

There you go.

They make me

look like a chicken.

Kick hard!

Kick hard! Kick hard!

Look out Olympics 2020, right here.

And she's on her own!

And when did you start

professionally whistling?

When did you

go on tour?

Fast as you can!

Kick, kick, kick, kick!

I didn't go on tour.

I was just

walking into my room,

and I really wanted

to know how to whistle.

There you go, there you go!

So then I started

off like this.

Fast as you can!

Fast as you can!

That's good. Kicking me in the face.

That'll do.

All right.

How fast can you go?

Okay, watch out,

Michael Phelps.

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

You're not old yet. When you get

old, that's when you get soared.

Then I started

like this.

Go all the way.

You can do it.

Then I started like this.

And you're whistling.

I love you, Daddy.

Slow down, okay?

Do you need help, baby?

I'm not a baby!

You okay?

Just let me listen.

Are you okay?

Well, you're not

a bad kisser.

Well, I was aiming

for mediocre.

That's not

what I meant.

I know. I know.

Come on. I just...

I want to know

who you were.

I just need something,

anything,

to remind me that

you're not my husband.

For starters, you should be

thankful that I'm not your husband.

I wasn't much of

a father either.

You had children?

I do. I have one. I have

a girl called Claire.

And?

Uh... When she was little,

I wasn't around much.

When she was big,

I was never around.

She turned

out okay though.

She runs a non-profit now.

That's something

to be proud of.

Depends who you ask.

Is she good at

what she does?

She's great.

She's really great.

Did you ever

tell her that?

Do you know where

you'll go with Anna?

I've never really

been anywhere before.

I mean, yeah, Mark and I used

to fantasize about hiding away

in some Caribbean

island somewhere.

Sure, yeah.

Turquoise water...

Hello?

White sand beaches.

With this money, you'll

be able to do that,

and then some.

Yeah, I guess.

I guess I just never

imagined going without him.

No. I imagine not.

What is that?

It's nothing.

Be right back.

Hello?

Hello?

Where's Anna?

What's the matter?

Is everything okay?

Anna.

Anna?

Anna? Anna!

Oh, man! It just pulled over

to the side of the road.

I'm winning! Yes!

Who is this, Pumpkin?

This is Tony. He lives here.

Anna. It's time to go.

Say goodbye to your friend. Why?

Come on. Let's go.

What's the matter?

That's Martin

and Judy's son.

So?

He died two years ago.

Who died?

Nobody.

Anna!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Put the gun down.

You'll hurt someone.

Take Tony to our

room until this is over.

How much time do we have? What?

How much time

do we have?

You have to understand.

I owe them everything.

How much time do

we have, Martin?

Mommy!

The minute you

step off the property.

They called an hour

before you got here.

How could you do

that to a child?

What?

We saved his life!

You wouldn't have done the

same for your own daughter?

No. Not like that.

One day, he won't even remember

what he used to look like.

That he was ever

sick to begin with.

What about the other family?

What other family?

He doesn't know.

How do you not know

where a body comes from?

A lab!

Genetically engineered.

Grown in a test tube.

That's somebody else's

son up there, Martin.

A son they thought

they buried.

No.

God damn it.

The garage. I can get

to it from the inside?

Okay.

You're gonna

take Anna.

- Wait, wait. What?

- You're gonna head through the fields

until you get to the highway,

and you don't stop.

And what are you

going to do?

Are you listening to me?

I'm gonna buy you some time.

You got a car that I can use?

Take the SUV.

The windows are tinted.

I'll take them. Through the

woods, there's a path.

I'll show you.

- Go. He's gonna help you.

- What? Mark?

Why do we trust him now?

We don't have a choice.

What? Why?

We don't have a choice.

There's a truck stop off 180. If you

make it, we'll be there till midnight.

Thank you.

Thank you.

They're heading your way.

I've got a visual.

He's alone!

There's no one in the car.

Go check

the back of that house.

There's a car!

What?

No! No, wait!

Wait!

Stop!

Anna!

Mommy! Mommy!

No!

No! Anna! Anna!

Where are they, Martin?

I fell behind...

Where are they?

She and the girl rushed

ahead to flag down a ride,

and they ran

right into them.

He'll kill them both. He

won't think twice about it.

It was over before I could do anything.

I did everything...

How could you let them go?

So sorry.

Martin.

Are you okay?

Albright's card.

"They can help you."

That was you.

Wasn't it?

Yes.

Why?

I rode your coattails

for 40 years.

I thought I was repaying you

for the life you've given me.

I should never

have sent it.

I should never

have said yes.

So much for the

wisdom of experience.

God damn it.

How are the seizures?

Tony used to

get those, too.

This should be enough

to hold you over.

Until when?

I had the pills

reverse-engineered.

Jesus.

Judy was scared

we'd run out,

and I couldn't stand the idea of

Albright having so much control over us.

A day and a half to Mexico.

A few grand for a pharma plant

to make you a six-month supply.

And you're home free, Damian.

A new beginning.

That little girl...

She's the same age as Claire

was when I moved out.

We have no idea

where Albright operates.

Even if you wanted to,

you'll never find them.

Twelve hours.

No pills.

No matter how bad it looks,

I need to stay under.

When Albright brought

Mark to his facility,

he brought him there to die.

No reason to hide it.

If I do this,

maybe I get a glimpse of

something, anything, important.

Bye, baby.

Blow Daddy a kiss...

Are you just gonna stand there,

or are you going to help me?

Pleased to meet you,

Mr. Bitwell.

We must have you

lying down, please, sir.

We're looking for an abandoned warehouse.

Really?

Yeah.

You have any idea how many of

those there are in New Orleans?

Yeah.

But how many of them

store Mardi Gras floats?

You still have the boat?

Leonard, where are you at?

We need you inside, man.

Copy that. I'm heading

inside right now.

You should have

seen him when I first met him.

He was torn to

pieces in a Russian prison riot.

I could have let him die,

but I saved him.

And I've resurrected him

three times since then.

And each time,

he's more loyal.

More grateful.

Where are they?

Well, we have a client that

Madeline is a perfect match for.

And the girl's

organs will not be wasted.

Yes, it was built to withstand

500,000 milligray of radiation.
