I just need some information

on my father because he was

supposed to be here today

but we can't find him and we

think he might be in danger.

- So can you please help me?

- I'm sorry, but as I said.

I don't have that information

and even if I did,

it wouldn't be within my rights

to give it to you.

- Oh, Jesus, you're kidding me.

- I'm so sorry.

Fine, fine.

Did you try Danny again?

Brian!

Did you call Danny?!

What?

Yes. His phone is off.

Can you help me with this?

No, I'm sorry.

It has to be you.

It has to be me.

So, when you're done with that,

we're gonna fill it up

with water.

And then he has to drink

the whole thing.

It's not gonna taste very good.

So, is there something he likes

to chase it with?

Orange juice or something?

Mm-hmm.

I've got something.

It's, um, apricot nectar.

He always loved it.

- Perfect.

- Okay.

- Just keep going, huh?

- Yup.

Your father would like

to see you.

He's ready.

I'll give you the room.

Okay.

Just i... just...

I need to finish this, okay?

I'll be in in a minute.

I can do this.

He's my dad.

Before we go any further, Peter,

I have to ask you those

two questions we talked about.

Would you like

to change your mind?

I would not, Candace.

But thank you, though.

And thank everybody here,

and especially you.

Thank you for understanding.

I loved my life...

And all of you.

But it's time.

One last question, Peter.

What will taking

this medication do to you?

Kill me dead.

Maryanne, you can

give that to your dad.

I love you.

I am proud of you.

We've had a great time, huh?

There's no rush.

Is that you in there, dad?

You got the whole family

together...

In Oregon...

Where it all started.

What now?

It's Danny.

Hey, bud.

Huh?!

How could you not tell me?!

Huh?! How could you

not tell me?!

This is a family decision,

and you stole that

from me, Danny,

you stole that from me.

It was his decision, Kate.

Daddy...

Daddy?

Why would you do that?

Because I'm the only one

who could.

He's my father, too!

He lives with me!

He relies on me!

You haven't existed for years!

- You're too close.

- What?!

- You're too close.

- F*** you!

What the f***, man.

Where were you?

He is gonna qualify, Brian.

What is that?

Brian, what is...

Brian, what does it say?

What does that say?

What does it say?

No, no, no, he can't do this.

He can't do this, Brian.

He can't do this.

He can't do this.

I can't go through

the surgery again, Estelle.

I just can't.

I still want to die.

But I don't want to die...

With all this anger.

I don't want to die...

With you and the kids hating me.

I'll just live

until I can't live anymore.

I don't care about the pain,

but...

Please...

Please help me fix our family.
