We Go On Page #6

What the hell happens now?

Now?

Now I learn to live

with a ghost.

Maybe I'll be able to...

sleep through the night

every now and then.

Maybe I'll be able

to tell the dead ones

from the real ones on my own.

And if I have to drag

Nelson Kinny through my life

and never give him

what he really wants...

then maybe I can find

a few things

that make him happy.

I'll take him for his

6:
00 a.m. walks by the airport,

let him hear the planes.

I think he likes the sound.

If I do that for him...

maybe he'll let me feel normal.

(laughing)

Just here and there.

Enough to justify going on.

(gasps)

Maybe I won't get better.

If I don't get better, then...

well...

If you die,

he will pass with you.

You're not ready, not yet.

I'll stay

for another day or two.

Mom, Mom, come on.

I'm ready.

Okay?

(sighs)

I have to try.

Oh, um, will you drop this off

for me on your way out of town?

Look, call to say

you made it fine.

(engine starts)

(clanking)

Excuse me, is Josefina here?

She can't see you today.

I have something I need

to give to her in person.

It's very important.

Josefina is very bad

with spirit today.

I understand, but, um...

Muy importante.

Si.

Come with us.

Thank you.

(airplane whooshing)

You looking for me...

or him?

You.

I was hoping not to see him.

I was thinking...

well, I was feeling

sorry for you.

Really?

Well, I guess you are

the only one who has any idea

what it's like to have

Nelson on your ass

every second of the day.

I've actually been

back there a few times.

To the grave.

Really?

Yeah.

Just I don't know,

talk to him, you know?

Make a bit of peace.

I told him he should let you go.

Told him I liked you

and you seem decent to me.

Wish it had worked.

You got a lady

in your life, Miles?

(airplane whooshing)

Seora...

your visitor is back.

Bill... he is

showing me his neck,

where he hung from the rope.

He's...

He's here?

Bill?

I can feel him.

What is he... please,

tell me what he's saying.

He say you turn around.

Turn around?

You turn your car around

and go back to your son!

Go! Go now!

(grunting)

(whispering)

Oh, my God.

Oh, Jesus...

I'm so sorry.

I would have never hurt you.

No, you would.

You don't get it.

Nelson, he wears you down.

That's what he does.

And eventually you'd have come.

I can't take

that chance, damn it.

I have a boy now.

I had a boy with another man,

and Nelson was so angry,

he told me he'd

bury my baby alive.

He said that... and...

Jesus, a mother

has to do something.

So I told him we could go

get high at the ghost town,

like the old days.

And I tainted his dose...

shot up three needles full.

(screaming)

I had to.

(airplane whooshing)

You gotta take him

out of here for good now.

Okay?

(weakly)

I will.

God bless you.

Nelson?

Do you hear me in there?

Burn in hell.

(whispering) There ls no hell.

(airplane whooshing)

(Young Charlotte) I think that

Miles has to come with me today

because he's so good at finding

all the buttons on

the floor, so I need him.

I need him today

at the dry-cleaners.

Uh-huh, that's good,

that's good, that's good.

I need him at work today

because he reattaches

my knee pads

every time I finish

with my lunch break.

He's the perfect height to

put those knee pads back on.

Yeah, I need him at work today.

Miles is the only one

who speaks Spanish.

That's ridiculous, I win.

(laughing)

Why don't we let him decide, Bill?

Mm.

Okay, Miles,

time to make a choice.

Do you want to go

with Dad today, or with Mom?

What'll it be?

Mom or Dad?

Mama!

(giggling)

Pulse check.

(coughing and gasping)

There we go.

We got him.

(police radio chatter)

(coughing) Oh, God.

Thank you, thank you.

Mama...

I died.

But you came back to me, kid.

And I came back alone.

(car alarm chirps)

(cell phone ringing)

(grunts)

(ringing continues)
