and show me how you put the phone

on the charger for the first time!

I'm sorry.

I'll be damned...

if I'm gonna let you treat me this way!

Wait!

She's only using you

for your video games anyway!

Katherine, that's enough.

- Leave him alone! Leave him alone!

- Katherine...

- Don't touch him!

- Katherine.

- He is a rotten little liar!

- Katherine...

- He is lying to me.

- Okay. You need to walk away.

Okay? You need to walk away.

Mom...

- You're not such a big boy now, are you?

- Katherine!

Mom!

You need to take a breath.

You're loosing it.

He's lying to me.

It doesn't matter.

You can't treat him like that.

- I know she was in this house.

- Good for him!

You don't even care.

We're all making sacrifices here.

What have you ever sacrificed?

I stopped working

so I could take care of him.

No, you quit your job so you could stay

at home and get drunk and do nothing,

that's what you did.

I have taken care of him his whole life.

What do you expect?

Children are for life.

Really?

You okay?

- I didn't do anything wrong.

- Oh, Jesus.

Sorry.

Maryann took me outside to play catch.

You didn't want to tell

your mother about that.

No.

I didn't want to get Maryann in trouble.

She was just trying to be nice.

I know.

It's good to have someone

to talk to. Isn't it?

Why is it such a big deal

when she comes over?

Well... when this all blows over

I'll ask your mom if...

Maryann can come by some day. Okay?

Let's just give it some time.

Thanks.

"Salinger, though I think

he is listening, seems preoccupied.

"He draws yellow lines

on the map, but I follow them.

"What do you do?", counters Jerry.

"I don't hear you babbling on

about the joys of barn cleaning

"or pouring anhydrous ammonia

on your stubble or whatever else you do."

How much of his liver does he need?

- It's just a little part of the left lobe.

- Just?

It's a simple procedure.

It'll grow back.

We could've avoided this.

If we don't do it now...

he'll be dead within a month.

I have to go.

- Where now?

- Oh, you know...

running around, doing nothing. My usual.

Mom, what are you doing?

Right.

I forgot.

You wanna play baseball?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You wanna play baseball?

Do I play baseball?

Mom?

No.

Please, don't.

- Mom, mom! I'm sorry, please.

- You wanna lie to me?

You wanna lie to your mother.

Andy. You lied to me!

- What's this?

- Don't. Stop.

Close the window.

Close the window!

Close the window now!

- How you doing?

- Andy's mother is crazy.

- See.

- Sweetie.

They have another boy in the basement

and I think they kidnapped him.

You know, you just can't go

sayin' things like that.

But I have proof.

Look.

I think you should take a break

from the computer and read a book.

Are you upset about this?

About us?

No. It was...

it was nice, you're very nice.

You know, she doesn't appreciate you.

I've tried. It just doesn't work.

You know, if you need a place to stay...

No.

I can't leave Andy.

Yeah, I know.

Thing I love about you is

the thing that keeps you away.

All we do is exist to sustain him.

It isn't good for any of us.

You know, it might be better

for him if you separated.

- Kids pick up on bad vibes and...

- We don't fight in front of him.

Okay, okay.

I'm not pushing.

Thank you.

I have to go.

Go.

What the hell are you doing?

You know, he had an opportunity to tell me

the truth and he chose to protect her.

I want you to stop this.

Katherine. Katherine, Katherine.

He didn't do anything.

He didn't do anything wrong.

Okay?

No, he did. You weren't home.

He is a liar and he is a little cheat.

- I won't have it in my house.

- I slept with Sandra.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- I didn't... I didn't mean...

- You and...

What do you wanna do?

I don't know.

I... I don't know.

I...

I can't... I can't take...

- I can't take this.

- Okay.

I can't take this anymore.

- I'm sorry...

- You don't love me anymore?

I love you, Katherine.

I love you.

What are we gonna do? What me

and Andy are gonna do if you go?

I won't leave. I won't leave.

- You're not gonna leave?

- No.

No, no. I won't leave him.

- Him? I meant me.

- I know.

Hey, it's me and you.

Me, Andy and our little family.

I love you.

Come here.

I'm sorry, but I understand.

I'm not a monster. I forgive you.

I forgive you.

Hey, listen. You gonna stay? Yeah?

- Yes, yes. I will.

- We've gotta start prepping for surgery.

I'm gonna go check on him.

Get some sleep.

Goodnight.

Oh, my God.

It's getting cold out.

You should wait for the bus inside.

I'm fine.

Well, I'm cold.

Hey, champ.

You're probably wondering

what the heck happened.

Well, we had an emergency last night.

It was your appendix.

But your mother took care of it.

My side hurts.

I know. It's gonna.

I'll get you something

for the pain, okay?

I have to talk to you.

My dad, he...

This won't help you wake up

but it'll take care of the pain.

Let's take a look at those stitches.

What are you doing?

Katherine!

- Why are you doing this?

- There's a draft.

Don't worry about this, okay?

I'll be right back.

Get some rest.

Your parents have someone

in the basement.

There's a kid down there.

Hooked up to all these machines.

I think he's dying too.

I have a brother? I have a brother?

No, I don't think so, but...

his name is Jason Kimanick.

What?

I think they kidnapped him.

Read this.

No. Go home, please.

Were you in that house again?

The school called.

You were absent today.

- Go to your room...

- No, grandma, please...

Your grandfather will drive you

to school from now on.

And you will stay inside

this house after school.

Do you understand?

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

I know it won't. You're grounded.

Hey.

Look what I got.

- Thanks.

- No problem.

- How you feeling?

- It just hurts.

Hi, Mom.

Katherine, he said hi.

- How's it looking?

- As well as can be expected.

I'm sorry about...

Don't worry about it.

Why'd you stop having kids after me?

Is it because I came out sick?

Andy.

God only gave us one child

to love and take care of.

And you were all we needed

to make a family.

Hey. Don't worry about it.

It doesn't matter.

What's your name?

I'm Andy. Can you hear me?

I just got my appendix out.

How... how long have you been down here?

Andy.

Andy, what...

How did... how did you...

What are you doing down here?

No.

No, you have to...

you have to come with me.

- Let's get you upstairs.

- Dad.

- Why did... why did you lie to me?

- Okay.

He's very sick, Andy.

Why... why is it such a secret?

He's dying, Andy.

He's dying.

And your mother felt that...

you shouldn't be subjected to that.

We didn't think

that you would get any better

laying next to another

sick boy. Alright?

I want to know him.

You can't. You can't know him.

He does not exist.

He does not exist to you.

Okay?

Your mother... your mother cannot find out

about this. We need to get you upstairs.

Wait. Is he... is he my brother?
