ready for the tables now...

for the likes of you.

- Tommy, get over here!

- Yeah, I'm coming.

It is what it is, sweetheart.

You out of anybody

should know that.

Yeah, it's been a while.

That's right, which means...

Darla's gonna have to train

you all over again.

Which means, if we do this,

I'm gonna need a 6

month commitment.

Minimum.

Saul.

Saul?

Yeah?

I know.

If you're the sole controller

of your own destiny...

you really believe that God

is unavailable in that world?

Yes I do.

Why are you so

determined to resist...

goodness in your life?

You can't have it both ways.

You can't be the victim

and claim to have peace...

I'm not the victim. I've

never claimed to be...

a victim.

Then you're not a victim.

But you want peace.

You claim to be

powerless to achieve it,

and yet you want to be the

sole owner of your actions.

Oh for God's sake!

So you want to

claim all the power?

You truly want peace?

Then allow yourself to

believe for a moment,

that someone in this

world loves you.

- Who? God?

- Yes.

Yes, God.

God loves you.

And for that alone,

your life has value.

If you want peace, why

are you so adamant...

that it's not possible?

If God doesn't want

to bother with you,

why is your heart so heavy?

Where do you think

this guilt comes from?

- It's a lot warmer in here!

- Are you driving?

I still gotta go to

the grocery store...

before dinner.

We'll drop you off

and then Jessie and I...

will come back.

I want to go with

Dad! My Moto-Father

I'll take him with

me if you want.

No sweetie-pie, he's

got a lot of work...

to do before dinner.

Come with your Moto-Mama

In the back.

- Thank you.

- I'll see you in a bit.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

See you!

Bye!

Mom? Mom!

We have to go, honey!

Come on, sweetie.

Hi.

Hi!

Can I stay here?

Sweetie, I can't see

you from in the store.

You gotta come with me.

Please, I just wanna read.

No, get your coat.

Come on, let's go.

It's so boring in

the store, I hate it.

Don't be hatin'!

Can I bring the comic?

No, leave the book.

Put your jacket on.

It's not so bad, 10

minutes in the grocery store.

I know, but that's 10 minutes

in here, why can't I just...

That's the point!

I can just stay...

It's just 10

minutes in the car.

Boots go on your feet.

I'm saving these for

school, remember?

- So, what are we getting?

- Cereal

What are you going for?

Really? I was kind

of hoping for...

something with a

little more sugar.

Sugar is bad for you.

How are we doin' there, buddy?

Well, we have 4 folders.

You've got spirals

in the binder?

So you're in the

middle of the ocean.

It's clear for like 200 feet.

And even before you hear...

the song of the

whale, you feel it.

Yeah, like this vibration.

It's right here.

You watch 'em, okay?

Don't let anything happen

I'll be right here.

So, it should be

a while before...

you really find... Right.

Can you hold it for

a second please?

Can I help you?

Yeah, I need a prescription

for my father.

Gregors, last name.

- First name?

- Benjamin.

Hi, do you have any employment

application forms?

Make sure he takes

these with a meal.

These are your instructions.

Do you have another pen?

This one isn't working.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I uh...

I need 2000 dollars now!

What are you doing! ?

You hear me?

Just stay there!

Don't move!

Just stay there, okay?

Just stay!

Just give me the money!

Go, go, go! Come on!

Put the phone down!

Now!

Come on, hurry!

You! Stay there! Don't!

No! Just stay there.

Jess! No!

No!

Please, let him go!

- Honey, it's okay

- Mom!

Mom!

Honey, it's okay.

It's alright!

I'm leaving now, okay?

Nobody call the cops!

He's gonna be fine. Stay!

- Please stay!

- You give him back to me!

No! No!

- You take me!

- Give me 10 minutes!

Jesse!

Look, your mommy's

coming, okay?

Be quiet

Mom, mommy! No!

Help! Get me out of here!

No, don't call!

Please, he said not to call!

Can you wait? Please,

can you just wait?

Just 10 minutes.

- Let me out!

- We're almost there, okay?

M'am? We need to call!

He said not to call! I

don't know what to do...

We need to call the police

He's my son! He's

my little boy!

Please don't call the police!

I don't know what to do

You'll be okay.

Get out of the way!

Hang on!

I'll let you out

in just a minute!

All right? We'll

be right there!

You okay? You alright?

'Yea, though I walk through...

the valley of the

shadow of death,'

'I shall fear no evil:

for thou art with me;'

'thy rod and thy

staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a

table before me in...

'thou anointest my

head with oil;...

my cup runneth over.'

'Surely goodness

and mercy shall...

follow me all the

days of my life:
'

'and I shall dwell in the

house of the Lord for ever.'

All clear?

Hang on! Hang on!

Just a minute!

Okay.

I'm not sure what

I'm supposed to do.

Come with now!

Okay, go ahead.

Can I see the sign-in

sheet, please?

Thank you.

M'am you need to

sign it right here.

- Can I use the phone?

- Sure, go ahead.

Jesse! No! Let me see him!

Let me see him, please!

Jesse, I'm here, honey!

He is my everything!

Please do something...

Please do something!

No!

You need something?

Yeah. I wanna see him.

Excuse me?

I wanna talk to the prisoner.

I'm sorry Mrs. Nichols,

I don't think that's possible.

No, it's entirely possible.

Call your supervisor.

I don't think he's gonna

give you a different answer.

Mr. Runyan, call

your supervisor.

Are you in charge?

I understand you'd like

to see the prisoner?

No, I wanna speak to him.

Well, that's not a good idea.

I just wanna...

I need to talk to him.

Look, I understand

what he did to you,

what he did to your son.

And it must be very difficult,

but I can't... I'm afraid...

You have no idea.

I pray every night

that he suffers...

the same pain I endure.

Every morning when I wake up,

I don't see my son, I

don't see my husband.

I wanna see him.

Is it illegal for

me to speak to him?

No, it's not illegal.

Stand right here.

I need to search your purse.

Feet shoulder-width apart,

hands against the wall.

- Ready, Ma'am?

- Yes.

I'm sorry

I'm so sorry.

I've tried to

imagine what you...

who you are.

What your day was like before.

I've put together

your entire life...

from a single moment.

I feel like I know you.

I don't know who you are,

or what I've taken from you.

Even then, I'm so sorry.

I've tried for so long

not to give you a face.

It's so much better when

you don't have a face.

All these details

of you in my mind,

in my imagination.

And I think I have

pieced together...

your whole life on

the drive here.

I'm sure it's all wrong.

I'm sure it doesn't matter.

I forgive you.

I have to forgive you.

Sorry.
