Raymond?

Stay out of this, please.

- You're not paying his tuition.

- Neither are you.

I finished last semester.

I got my own shitty place

that I am paying for

- with this shitty job.

- Hey, I like this place!

None of that even matters

because no matter what I do,

I'll never f***ing

make you happy.

Okay. All right.

Get up.

Let's go, we're leaving.

- Get up.

- Now?!

- Yup, right now.

- -Why?

Why?

Because apparently,

I am the only person here

who seems to have

a f***ing issue with your

husband's suicide mission.

Okay, so if everybody here

wants to do this, let's go.

Let's go, let's get it done.

Let's go to Oregon.

And I'm gonna call your daughter

and I'm gonna tell her

to get on the plane so that she

and your granddaughter,

whose pills you seem

to really enjoy,

can both be there to watch.

Didn't think I knew that,

did you, huh?

And Nick, why don't you

pack yourself a bag, bud?

We're gonna go watch grandpa

do himself in.

- No f***ing way.

- Yes, f***ing way.

- Don't make me ask you again.

- I can't. I have work.

- Get it covered!

- Get it covered?

- Yes, get it covered!

- Whoa, whoa.

Brian, Brian.

Let me talk to him.

- Let me talk to him.

- Okay. All right.

What the f***?

Sh*t.

Hey, Annie?

Can you grab my makeup bag

from my room, please?

- Yeah.

- Okay, thank you.

All right, we're gonna be late.

Let's go.

Okay, baby girl.

You're not packed.

What's wrong?

Brian, please put

that cigarette out!

Honey, you really

don't have to go

if you don't want to.

Are we really gonna go watch

grandpa kill himself?

What? No.

Oh, god, honey, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

But isn't that why he's there?

No, no...

Uh, I mean...

Yes, it...

But he's not going to.

He's not going to.

Well, how do you know?

Because I'm not gonna let him.

I just don't want to...

Go and see somebody die.

Especially not somebody I know.

You know what?

I don't know what's gonna

happen. I'm just...

I'm scared.

Why are you scared?

Because I'm scared

that maybe he will.

Don't cry, mom.

I need you

to come with me, okay?

Your mom

will be happy you're here.

What?

Oh, uh, I said, your mom,

she gets in at 10:00.

She'll be happy

that you're here.

And I'm... I'm...

And I'm glad you came...

- I'm happy you're here.

- I'm not here for you.

Okay, bud.

All right, have a good night.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, Danny, you...

Hey, bud, have you seen

grandpa or Danny?

They left.

They left? Okay.

Well, are they going to...

Are they gonna be back

in time for his appointment?

No.

They're gone.

I already said

goodbye to grandpa.

Wait a second,

what are you talking about?

- Where did they go?

- Just ask Danny.

Where did they go?

He couldn't tell you.

Or mom.

You'd just turn the car around

and make him get surgery.

Anything but what he wants,

right, dad?

Hey.

I need you to tell me

everything you know.

They're calling.

Leave it.

There are better ways

to do this.

I appreciate

your coming along, Danny.

Well, I wanted you to see

what support felt like.

I could care less

who you slept with.

I just knew your life

was gonna be harder.

That's not how a father

protects his son.

Yeah, well...

You're not a father.

Uh, Estelle, you need

to get your clothes on.

I'm getting some coffee.

No, no, no.

Ray and Danny are gone!

I know, it's fine.

If he wants to be denied

by the same white coats

that replaced him,

I don't need to be there

to watch it.

Kate's flight

is coming in early.

We really have to go right now,

and I need you to give me

all the information you have

about Ray's doctor here.

What's going on here?

What are you doing?

You brought him

all the way out here.

And now you want to stop him?

And you know what else?

Don't you ever try

to embarrass me

in front of my son

and grandson again.

If you want to ask me something,

you ask me, damn it!

Everyone expects me

to fight this and fix it

and... and try to coddle him

into living.

You have no idea what it's like

to live with a man who'd rather

die than be with you!

There's, um...

Something that ray

didn't tell you.

This is it?

This doesn't look like

a doctor's office.

It's not.

Harold.

Raymond.

Oh, you made it.

It's good to see you, Harold.

You remember my son Daniel?

- Yes, of course.

- Hi, Dr. Feldstein.

Are you still with that

medical nonprofit in Idaho?

Utah, yeah.

Going on nine years now.

I want to say

I'm glad that you and Peter

connected about this.

I... you know, I think it's

very important for you.

- So do I.

- Yeah.

I filled out all the appropriate

paperwork in my case.

And I'd be really grateful

if you went over it with Danny.

I will go over it,

and I will try to find

- the right doctor for you.

- Thank you.

The white zone is for immediate

loading and unloading

of passengers only.

No parking.

- Where's my dad?

- He's not here right now.

I know, but where is he?

I guess you want to see Peter.

Yes, I do.

He's gonna be

very happy to see you.

Stay here and hold this.

Who... who is Peter?

Just an old friend.

Dr. Engersol?

Hi, it's Maryanne.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't recognize you.

No, that's fine.

It's been a long time.

I've changed.

He has been waiting for you.

He's right in here.

He's right here.

Peter...

Look who's made it.

Is that ray Engersol?

Hello, Peter.

Dad?

I'll be right back, okay?

If you need anything,

you just ring.

- Ray?

- Yeah?

- Could you give me a hand here?

- Sure.

Thank you.

I will send no bill.

Thanks for letting me

come see you today.

I'm sure you had better things

to do this morning

than to watch an old friend

join the choir.

You should see my calendar.

Yeah, open up the pills

and put the powder inside there.

Yeah, open them up.

Yeah, just like that, break it.

How many of these

does he need in here?

We tell people

most of the bottle,

just to be safe.

Okay.

Hi. Uh, are y...

Are you with

Dr. Feldstein?

Oh, no, I'm s...

I'm sorry.

I'm, um...

I'm Raymond's son.

Oh, y-you're

Dr. Engersol's son.

Yes, I'm sorry, I'll give

your family some privacy.

No, no.

You got your dad here.

And that was real important

to my father.

So I'm...

Just please,

just make yourself at home.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

You're welcome.

This is...

Just Seconal?

Yep, just sleeping pills.

How was the trip?

Not easy.

But then nothing is anymore.

Tell me about it.

How's... how's Estelle?

Where is she?

She's in the cabin.

She's resting.

Estelle would not do well

with this kind of thing.

Well, she's gonna have to, huh?

Pete?

Are you ready?

Look at me, ray.

What do you think?

You, on the other hand,

don't look so bad

for someone who's dying.

Well, I've not yet

caught up to you.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

E-n-g-e-r-s-o-l, he's a

patient of Dr. Feldstein's.

I don't have that information.

I'm sure you do

have the information

because he did have

an appointment here

today with Dr. Feldstein,

I don't need his...

Okay I just...
