Alright.

Thanks.

Six parole violations.

And now he is taking a minor

to a whore house.

You know at this point, if..

we don't f***ing arrest him,

then we aren't doing our jobs.

So uh.

This Melanie,

She is a friend of Carl's?

Yeah.

You okay?

You got any questions?

I don't think so.

No?

Just remember what I said,

you know.

Wear your raincoat.

No fancy stuff.

2C,

2D...

2B.

Here we go.

Melissa?

Melanie.

Melanie.

Yeah. Come on in.

Carl explained everything.

So, you must be William.

Hi.

Hi.

We're fine.

We'll see you in an hour.

Okay.

- Okay... good

- Okay.

Will, open up!

Hey, what..

Everythings fine.

I'm sorry, we got to go.

The cops are here.

Look.

Here's your money.

They're going to ask me questions,

I can't answer.

I got this.

Go, go, go.

Left.

Left.

Go up.

Up, up, up.

Oh.

F***.

Dad, dad

let's jump over.

No, we can't jump.

We're not jumping.

Dad, what?

What are you, scare?

You can't..

You can't..

You don't think I can make it?

Let me..

Let me find the fire escape.

Come on.

Sh*t.

Oh.

A whore house.

Why are you laughing?

Gramps.

It's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Well, that's what it's supposed to be.

Heh, heh, heh...

No, no.

Gramps.

We jumped to a whole another building.

On the top of the roof.

And then

he picks the lock.

And I'm so nervous,

my stomach was just doing somersault.

But him...

He's so calm.

No, I wasn't calm on the inside.

So, you never got ..

You never got to finish it.

Hey, pop, pop!

Why don't you go call Carl

and have him pick up the Buick.

Alright.

And then what?

Go walk the imaginary dog or

some other f***ing thing.

- If you wanted time to be alone together

- You're too much.

F***ing take it.

No need to patronize me,

you.. f***er.

Oh,

you're too much.

Hey, Will.

I'm sorry about Melanie.

You kidding me?

Dad...

Today was awesome.

Yeah?

Yeah!

How come you broke up with that girl?

- Tricia?

- Yeah.

She would smile at every guy

that walked past her.

And it ..

It just, you know

drove me nuts.

But that's. That's it?

She just smiled ?

She's trying to make me jealous or something.

But.. but..

What if she is just friendly?

Why don't you just call her?

The kid.

It's his son.

William.

Cutter took him out of school,

the day after he got out of prison.

Ask me why.

Okay, why?

Medical.

William Cutter got cancer.

Jesus.

Lab test result on the trace heroin

found on the dead bartender's hotel room.

Spoiler alert.

Matches the sh*t you are after.

Okay.

Um..

Find out who granted Cutter's parole...

And uh..

Give me Keegan's rap sheet.

Please.

Wow.

What's the occasion?

Here, sit down.

Can't believe it.

I figured out my third wish.

- But you didn't get your second wish yet.

- It's alright. We can come back to it.

Okay.

Lay it on me.

Well.

I know you're planning something...

Something to get the money

to pay that guy back.

- Gramps tell you that?

- No.

Look, Will.

You know...

Dad.

I want to help you.

Getting you laid.

And having you meet your mother

is one thing.

- But this is ain't your problem.

- Dad...

You have this problem because of me.

That is not true.

I was in the whole way

before you came along.

Dad, I...

I never done anything

that's so exciting as I did yesterday.

And you and gramps...

You guys have really lived it.

I want to experience that,

you know?

Oh no.

No, no, no...

Trust me.

I don't ...

I..

I knew you weren't going to follow through

the f***ing wishes.

All you are..

is a liar and a fake.

Will?

Will,

open up!

Hey.

Hi, pal.

Hey.

What happened?

The doctor said that you had a seizure.

I guess it's kind of normal for this thing.

Hello, boy.

Dad, please.

Please, please, please.

What is it you want, William?

Please.

So this is Claude Monet.

He is an Impressionist.

The word came from the name of one of his paintings.

Called the impression sunrise.

He's not trying to be exact like a photograph.

a picture

He is trying to..

He is trying to paint the feeling.

Like Paul Gauguin?

Yeah.

Like Gauguin.

Yeah.

It's a sunny day.

It's spring time.

Camille is looking at Monet.

And Jean...

Wait.

Who are they?

Camille is Monet's wife.

And Jean,

is his eight year old son.

So, it's going to be hard to fake?

No, you don't fake this.

I mean..

You can't copy it.

You have to..

You have to get inside it.

You know.

It's hard to explain.

But if I could..

If I could..

Feel what he was feeling...

You know, maybe..

Maybe I could do it.

It's beautiful.

It is.

You ever going to Tahiti

like Paul Gauguin?

I don't know.

Okay,

you just keep grinding.

See all these minerals are pure.

Like back in the day 1875,

There was no pollution, you know.

Then, you know.

Factories came along and cars...

They put little.. like black specks in the minerals.

So..

And you can't use that.

That's why I can't use my paints.

Let's see how you are doing there.

Good.

Now uh, okay.

Some oil.

Hold still.

Okay.

Now, use this...

Stir it up.

- You want me to do it?

- Yeah. Go ahead, do it.

- See that?

- Yeah.

And watch it becomes paint

right in front of your eyes.

Hey.

You take your meds?

- Yup.

- Good.

Hey, dad.

What you did today...

It's pretty crazy.

Thanks.

Yeah, you know.

I could dunk my whole life.

Should have.

Why don't you?

Let's get through all this.

Tomorrow we start fresh.

Alright.

- Night.

- Night.

Yeah.

Cutter's granted parole was signed by judge Jacob Brooks.

Same judge who acquitted Keegan

of the second felony charge back in 03.

So Keegan puts Cutter in prison...

And four years later,

gets him out.

Why?

Cos he feel bad?

Tommy Keegan doesn't know how to feel bad.

Yeah, Ray.

She's coming right at you.

Catherine.

You want to talk?

It's okay.

We're alone.

I mean it's okay for both of us.

How did you made me at Keegan's?

I don't know.

You know.

You were asking a lot of questions.

So...

This is really about Tommy Keegan, right?

Maybe.

I can't tell you nothing about him..

Not that I care about him,

because I don't.

But,

I'm not a snitch.

- Never have been, never will be.

- Tommy Keegan was.

Put you away for five years, huh.

Keegan is in a serious debt

to the arroyo cartel.

Do you know what that means?

Have you seen this man before?

No.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

His name is Ral Carlo and

he is a real patron of the arts.

Painting again, Ray?

I need time.

I need privacy.

Because of your son?

Yeah.

Look, whatever you think

you owe Keegan.

It's just going to destroy the time

you have left with Will.

Help me to help you.

You okay?

I just had a dream and...

I'm here.

Come here.

Dad,

I'm scare.

I know.

Hey, Ray.

How're we doing?

Huh.

What the f*** are you doing here?

I told you I get you the painting.

My goodness.

Is that little William?

Hey, you know what?

You got a phone call young man.

Who is Tricia?

Okay, go upstairs.

Go, go, go.

Come on bro, are you getting some?

He turned into a good looking young man.
