02:00Oh my, don't you look handsome.
02:02Where the heck are you going at this hour? It's almost six.
02:05He has a high school dance.
02:07It's not just any dance party. It's a video dance party.
02:10Giant screens playing music videos hosted by a BJ from the mainland.
02:15What's a BJ?
02:16From TV. Video DJ.
02:18What's a video DJ?
02:20Someone's trying too hard.
02:21Video dance party with a BJ.
02:23BJ? Video killed the radio star, you traitor.
02:26What's a GDB, Jay?
02:29What's that?
02:30Uh, package for Pop.
02:31What?
02:31Yeah, it came to my apartment by mistake.
02:33Oh.
02:34All the way from Newfoundland, New Jersey.
02:36Oh, Mom.
02:36Let's go.
02:37That must be Leo's, huh?
02:38Pop's younger brother, Leo, had passed away in the States.
02:42This was a gift from beyond the grave.
02:45Can you read that?
02:47Um, dear Pat, we don't have much room since we moved into the home.
02:51Sold off most of Leo's things, but thought you should have this.
02:55You'll know what to do with it.
02:58Oh, oh, look at that vase.
03:01Now that will bring a pretty penny, that will.
03:04Good God.
03:05Oh, that's not a vase, it's an urn.
03:08Tomato, tomato.
03:09I think Uncle Leo's ashes are in there, Pop.
03:12So, he left you, him.
03:15Ooh, cremation.
03:16I hear it's all the rage.
03:18People are just dying to try it.
03:20I can't get it.
03:21Too soon.
03:25On the TV.
03:27What do you think?
03:28No, it can't stay there.
03:30What are you going to do with him?
03:31Get your vacuum and suck him out?
03:33I mean, Leo's family, dead or alive.
03:37I think you're supposed to spread the ashes, Pop, outside.
03:41Somewhere meaningful.
03:44Just give us some thoughts, okay?
03:47Okay, my jacket.
03:51For the first time in my life,
04:03I could dance like no one was watching,
04:05because no one was watching me.
04:07All eyes were on the video screen.
04:09The fun of a high school dance
04:11mixed with the danger of sitting too close to the TV.
04:13You there, step away from the girl.
04:20Leave room for the Holy Spirit.
04:28Hey, hey, what is up, Holy Heart?
04:31I couldn't believe my eyes.
04:32A VJ in all his hair-gelled glory.
04:35I can't hear you.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Who wants a shirt?
04:40Me.
04:40I've never caught anything in my life besides a flu.
04:46Let's get this party started!
04:55Like Dorothy and Oz,
04:59I was more interested in the man behind the curtain.
05:01Hey, I'm Mark Critch.
05:08Do I know you?
05:09Maybe.
05:10I'm Jack Mullins.
05:11I go here.
05:11I just kind of keep to myself.
05:12You play the videos from here?
05:14Cool.
05:15Yeah, well, my dad owns Newfoundland A.V.,
05:17so they hired us for sound and stuff.
05:20Now, come check this out.
05:24Cool.
05:25Yeah.
05:25I'm in the entertainment business myself.
05:28Really?
05:28I'm more front of house.
05:30I'm a comedian.
05:32Hmm.
05:32Hey, did you hear about the comic that ticked off the sound guy?
05:35Hmm?
05:36Neither did anybody else.
05:38They turned off his mic.
05:41Hey, there you are.
05:42What are you doing back here?
05:44Come on, I want to dance.
05:45Uh, chat later.
05:47Yeah.
05:47All right, see ya.
05:49Fine.
05:49Tickets are going fast for the last run of the Newfoundland Bullets.
05:55Yes, Ed.
05:56That's it, Mike.
05:58Mike.
05:58What?
05:59You know, when we were boys, me and Leo,
06:02we used to take the train to Pick Berries.
06:06Well, I'm coming with you.
06:08No, no, hang on, Dad.
06:09It's a work trip.
06:11You did say, give it some thought.
06:14Eight sleepers and four coaches.
06:17Fine.
06:18We're just going to need you to purchase a couple of tickets.
06:22Leo doesn't need his own ticket, Dad.
06:24All right.
06:25Mm.
06:26Mm.
06:26Get our new ultra-advanced formula.
06:35It's the number one choice of moms with kids who play hard.
06:39Get yours today.

07:06And the first class is free.
07:07Crow with us and blown.
07:10Call now.
07:11Fox was the first girl I ever slow danced with.
07:30I can still remember the smell of her shampoo as her head rested on my shoulder.
07:35It was...
07:36All right, Baryshnikov.
07:41Peel yourself off of her.
07:42She doesn't need mouth-to-mouth.
07:47All right.
07:48That was the last song, kids, but whoo!
07:50That party was wild.
07:51We'll catch you next time.
07:54Closing time.
07:56You don't have to go home,
07:58but you can't stay here.
08:04Hey.
08:05Hey.
08:05Word, Marco.
08:14Wow.
08:14You're pretty good at that.
08:16Mr. Lewis taught me.
08:17Over and under.
08:18Hmm.
08:18Let's get this stuff in the van.
08:20I want to get to be at Roberts by midnight.
08:21Yeah, we booked another gig tomorrow.
08:23It's a wedding.
08:24Speaking of gigs,
08:25I have a couple coming up, too.
08:26May need some AV.
08:27Do you guys have a card?
08:29I mean, we got stickers.
08:31Happy to help?
08:33Come on.
08:34Have a good one.
08:35You, too.
08:36An AV sticker.
08:38The kind bands put on guitar cases.
08:40There was only one place for it.
08:43Right next to the two Great Martins.
08:46Dean and Short.
08:47Would all grade 10 students come to the gymnasium, all grade 10s to the gym, immediately.
09:00Now what?
09:01None has zero chill.
09:02Hmm.
09:05Thousands have come to train their eyes on the last run of the Newfoundland bullet, as a lonesome howl of his whistle is soon to become a death rattle.
09:13That's enough of that.
09:14Here.
09:15Hold your uncle.
09:16What's the bucket for?
09:17Oh, picking berries.
09:19I didn't want to waste a trip.
09:20Ah-ha.
09:22Damn shame.
09:24You did right by us, I'll go.
09:27Here.
09:27All right.
09:29A last run for us, too, Leo.
09:31All aboard!
09:33Hey, do you mind?
09:34Just having a moment here.
09:36All right.
09:37Come on.
09:38All right, Leo.
09:38It's an emotional day.
09:49I bet they ban dancing.
09:50All right, everyone.
09:51This is just like Footloose.
09:52Silence.
09:54Please.
09:55Father?
09:58Last night, a student was tragically killed.
10:01What?
10:03A boy.
10:05I'm sure many of you know Jack Mullins.
10:07Jack, my friend from the dance.
10:11I never heard of that kid.
10:13You?
10:16I knew him.
10:23And now let's bow our heads in a moment of prayer.
10:30But how?
10:31Excuse me?
10:32No, it's okay.
10:33I mean, I...
10:34What's that, Mark?
10:35How...
10:36How did he...
10:37I couldn't bring myself to say it.
10:40What...
10:40What...
10:41What happened?
10:42There was a car accident.
10:44Last night.
10:45After the dance.
10:47It seems the boy and his father were hit by another car.
10:52The father is still in the hospital, but the boy...
10:55Jack.
10:56His name was Jack.
11:01I tried to picture his face, but even now, he was barely there.
11:06Jack.
11:07Yes, of course.
11:11If anyone would like to talk, I'll be here for the rest of the morning.
11:16Dismissed.
11:17Are you okay?
11:24No.
11:25Fox.
11:27Can we have a minute?
11:30I'll be at your locker, okay?
11:39Were you too tight?
11:40I think it was my fault.
11:46I...
11:47What would you like to be, Mary?
11:55I don't think anyone has ever asked me that question before.
11:59Have you ever asked yourself?
12:02I feel a bit old for school.
12:05And I don't even know what course I would take.
12:07You're a seed.
12:08We don't know what kind of flower you're going to be yet.
12:11Career college is just the fertilizer you need to grow.
12:17Let's do your career colors.
12:19Oh.
12:22What color is Mary on the career college spectrum?
12:27Oh.
12:34Yellow.
12:34You're a sunflower, Mary.
12:39Oh.
12:41It says here
12:42that you would thrive
12:44in the tourism and hospitality sector.
12:49Really?
12:51Hang on a minute.
12:54Yes.
12:55That course starts tonight.
12:57Tonight.
12:57Tonight, Mary.
13:00Oh.
13:03Now, what's this all about?
13:06His dad wanted to leave, but I just...
13:09I asked him a bunch of dumb questions.
13:12If they had left just a minute sooner,
13:14that car would have missed them.
13:16Mark, it's not your fault.
13:18God called him home.
13:19Why would he do that?
13:21Jack was just a kid.
13:23Well, we don't know the reasons,
13:25but God loved him so much
13:27that he wanted him home with him.
13:29It doesn't make sense.
13:32How can a God be so selfish?
13:34Well, I don't know that answer,
13:36but I'm pretty excited to ask him that myself one day.
13:40I think that's a cop-out, Father.
13:46You two were pretty tight, weren't you?
13:49I didn't really know him at all.
13:52Never even got the chance.
14:00Get her money!
14:02Atta, boy!
14:04You know, this shouldn't be a party.
14:07This is a wake.
14:09These people didn't know Leopold.
14:10Not for Leo.
14:12I'm talking about the train.
14:14Look at his fingers.
14:15Come on!
14:16Now what?
14:20Hey, can you tell us what's going on?
14:21The protesters drove some old trucks up onto the track.
14:24Huh?
14:24Without the train,
14:25these people would be living in a ghost town.
14:27We could be stranded here for the night.
14:29Tonight?
14:30Ah, a temporary stay of execution.
14:34I can't believe we had to sleep here.
14:36Well, you used to love being rocked to sleep by the train.
14:39Don't you remember?
14:40We'd take the trout as special.
14:44You'd pick berries all day while I fish,
14:47then you'd sleep the whole way back.
14:50Rocked to sleep by the Newfoundland bullet.
14:53They called it the bullet as a joke, Pop,
14:56because she was so slow.
14:58The bus would be faster.
15:00Speed's not important.
15:01Not when the whole point is the getting there.
15:04Well, at least they'll get a story out of it now.
15:06Oh, I see.
15:07Their loss is your gain, huh?
15:09And what about these poor buggers that are left behind?
15:12Is that progress, too?
15:13Even trains had to move forward, Pop.
15:16Not backwards.
15:19Yeah.
15:23You know, Leo,
15:26you're better company.
15:27Take your seats, class.
15:40Now, who here could tell me
15:41what hospitality and tourism is?
15:44Anyone?
15:45Um, Mary.
15:50Well, I wouldn't know,
15:52but, um,
15:53I imagine it's everything
15:55from food and beverage service
15:57to working the front desk at a hotel
16:00to planning tours for come-from-aways.
16:05I guess it's what you make of it, really.
16:08Excellent, Mary.
16:10Seems you know a thing or two already.
16:13Now, let's get the rest of you caught up, shall we?
16:15Open your books to page 32.
16:17Food and beverage service.
16:32Do we even know this kid?
16:34I think he went to our school.
16:37Matt something?
16:39Guys, it's me?
16:41I'm Mark.
16:42I'm alive.
16:45Don't go, please.
16:47No, I'm not ready.
16:49No, Pop!
16:51No.
16:54Pop?
16:55Pop?
17:04Maybe I wasn't ready
17:06for my own room after all.
17:18So, uh, what's the word?
17:20She'll be up and running soon.
17:22You want to stretch your legs?
17:22Now's the chance.
17:29Move, move!
17:30Move, go, Wilf.
17:31Come on, stretch your legs.
17:33Move.
17:33God, my back!
17:37Ah, gaff topsails.
17:40Ha-ha!
17:43Any idea where we are?
17:45They could leave without us.
17:48Pop!
17:50Pop!
17:55I'd been to countless wakes with my grandfather,
17:58but never one of someone my own age before.
18:00I'd never been afraid of the dead,
18:04but now I felt as though death was a cold,
18:06and if I got too close, I could catch it.
18:09Mark.
18:11Nice of you to come.
18:13You know, you're the first kid from school to drop in.
18:17Jack's mom was beginning to wonder.
18:20You know, it might be nice for you to say hi.
18:24Mrs. Mullins.
18:24This is Mark Critch.
18:29He was a friend of Jack's.
18:33Uh, well, I...
18:34I wasn't his friend.
18:36I mean, I didn't have the...
18:37the honor.
18:39But I think we would have been,
18:41if that makes sense.
18:43I...
18:44I know it doesn't.
18:47I'll leave you two at it.
18:51Do you want to sit?
18:54I'd like to know more about him.
19:02If that's okay.
19:05Jack.
19:07He loved music.
19:10And instead,
19:11they used to spend hours in the garage
19:13just tinkering away.
19:17Where are we?
19:18Ah.
19:19This.
19:20This is where we used to pick berries.
19:22That train stopping.
19:27Ah.
19:27That was Leo.
19:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:31What are you doing?
19:33Well, what do you think?
19:33I'm dumping him.
19:34Well, shouldn't you,
19:35I don't know,
19:36say something first?
19:38Leo, um,
19:40I don't know where the hell you are,
19:41but...
19:43bad choice of words.
19:44No.
19:45Well, it's just me now.
19:50Look, I didn't see much of you,
19:52but...
19:53I always knew you were there.
19:58As long as you were alive,
19:59I never really felt alone.
20:02Here I am,
20:04standing here,
20:06holding you
20:07in a bucket.
20:08You always were
20:18a bit of a tight-fisted bastard.
20:22I'm gonna try
20:23to remember you
20:24as that.
20:25That rosy-cheeked
20:37kid
20:39who
20:39just loved
20:40pick berries
20:41right here.
20:46I don't have a brother
20:48anymore,
20:49but I do
20:51have a son.
20:52and grandsons.
21:00So I guess
21:02trains have to go forward,
21:05not backwards.
21:13Well,
21:15last stop, Leo.
21:18Leo.
21:18Jesus.
21:23Did he put on weight?
21:27Oh.
21:29Here.
21:30Just go rinse that
21:31out in the pond.
21:32Here.
21:33Ah.
21:35I'll go
21:36pick some berries
21:37for the ride home.
21:39Hey, Mom,
21:48I'm starving.
21:50Can I have a sandwich?
21:50Make it yourself.
21:51I'm doing my homework.
21:55You want it?
21:59Well,
21:59that would be nice.
22:06Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:07Hmm.
22:09Eventually,
22:10all things
22:10will change.
22:12Sometimes,
22:13the only way forward
22:14is to let things go,
22:15because the things
22:16we carry with us
22:17get too heavy.
22:19The sad parts of life
22:20can change us
22:21if you let them.
22:22School dance.
22:23Admission one buck.
22:24Yep.
22:25Thanks for donating
22:26to the Jack Mullins Scholarship.
22:27But if you change
22:28the way you look at things,
22:30the things you look at
22:31change.
22:32and I'm sure we're going to do it.
22:37We'll see you next time.
23:07Bye-bye.
