00:00Come with me to a place of wondrous contradictions.
00:04A place that is silent and unstirring, yet restless and alive.
00:10A place of untold peace and boundless dread.
00:16Come with me into the very cradle of darkness, where those who dwell, dwell alone.
00:30All right, stay with me, stay with me.
00:32The sandy shore, as much a playground as a schoolroom for the inner-city students of Lorena Shaw.
00:40For Lorena, it combines her two greatest joys in life, children and the ocean, both of which need to be
00:50watched.
00:54As each wave returns to the sea, it leaves clues.
00:58Lots of shells and rocks and sea life that it made on its way.
01:05It's the wave's way of telling us who it is and where it's been.
01:11Tate! Come back here, honey.
01:15Sorry again, guys.
01:17Why don't you throw them going by in the house? It's right there.
01:19Well, his nanny cold and sick today.
01:22Besides, he loves being with you big guys.
01:26Am I, sweetie?
01:28Hey! Hey!
01:30Where are you going?
01:32I'm going to do some good toys at your house.
01:34Hey, that's not why we're here.
01:36Come back here now.
01:37Come back here.
01:41Otis, what are you doing?
01:45Otis, come back here.
01:49Help, outcomes.
01:53Help, mommy!
01:55Help, mommy!paddy!
02:01Hey! Hey!
02:03Hey!
02:04Ow!
02:05Penny!
02:13Ow!
02:14Ah!
02:15Ow!
02:32No!
02:38No!
02:41No!
02:42No!
02:49Excuse me. Are you Mrs. Shaw's husband?
02:52That's right.
02:55You're one of her students, aren't you?
02:57Yeah. Is Mrs. Shaw feeling better?
03:03She's, uh...
03:05coming along.
03:07What's your name? I'll tell her you asked.
03:09That's okay. Um...
03:11Just give her this.
03:14Tell her that, um...
03:16I'm sorry. We're all sorry.
03:36Hi, honey.
03:38Hi, honey.
03:45It's cold out here, isn't it?
03:50None of notice.
04:04What's that?
04:08Just the mail.
04:10Bills.
04:11More bills.
04:12No, that one.
04:20It's a card from your class.
04:26They're wondering when you're coming back to work.
04:33It's been a month, Lorena.
04:37Probably just hoping I'd take them to the beach again.
04:40Why wouldn't they want to go?
04:43I took good care of them.
04:45It's my son I killed.
04:46Look, don't say that.
04:48Don't even think it.
04:52You're right.
04:56Everybody makes mistakes.
04:59Some people lose their keys.
05:01Lorena.
05:01Some forget to pay the gas.
05:02Stop it.
05:03Some drown their child in the ocean.
05:04God.
05:11Come on.
05:35We'll see you next time.
05:47We'll be here.
05:49We'll see you next time.
05:54We'll see you next time.
05:56You're a little boy.
05:58You're a little girl.
05:59And we're ready to go.
06:09We're ready to go.
06:13Help.
06:15Help.
06:16Help!
06:19Help!
06:20Help!
06:23No!
06:34Tate? Tate?
06:40Sorry. All we have is lemonade.
06:43I thank you, and my player to be named later thanks you.
06:51Julia, you were saying something about the Murchison home becoming available?
06:55Yeah. My husband just got the listing. It's one of the prettiest homes in the historic district.
07:00Right downtown.
07:02You know the place, don't you, Laura?
07:03It's a beautiful house, and it's right near my office.
07:07What are you saying?
07:09I just thought we might take a look at it.
07:12I'm not moving.
07:15Raina...
07:16There's no way I'm leaving this house!
07:19Why don't you just put it on the back burner until we get back from Tall Pines next weekend?
07:24I'm not going.
07:27We go every year. It's a tradition.
07:30Yeah, well, something's a little different about this year, isn't it?
07:35Laura, I understand how sad you are, but the woods will be great for you.
07:39There's something about playing hide-and-seek in the forest when you don't have anyone to seek that just isn't
07:44the same.
07:45There's the lake. You love the water.
07:46I used to love the water.
07:49Not anymore.
07:56I'll be right back.
08:02We're pretty rough on Julia. She only came over to help us.
08:05Help me.
08:06You seem to be coping just great.
08:14I'm sorry.
08:15You didn't mean that.
08:18You think this is easy for me?
08:21You're not going back to work?
08:23You're not willing to go away to Tall Pines?
08:25You're falling to pieces, and I feel like I'm helpless.
08:27Like there's no way to get through with you.
08:28I heard Tate's voice last night.
08:32What?
08:35What are you talking about?
08:36I heard him, Nick.
08:38He was calling me for help.
08:40No, sweetheart, it was somebody else.
08:42No, it was Tate.
08:44I know.
08:47I saw him.
08:53He was in the water.
08:56He looks so scared.
08:59I tried to save him, but I just can't.
09:00And you're telling me you don't need to go away?
09:08I'm not leaving, Tate.
09:11I just can't do it.
09:23I'm not leaving.
09:24No.
09:25I don't want to go away.
09:27I can't.
09:27It's not real.
09:29Help.
09:30Help.
09:32Help.
09:33No.
09:34Help.
09:35I can't stop.
09:36He can't stop.
09:38Mommy.
09:39Please help.
09:41Mommy.
10:01Ahhhh!
10:02Ahhhhhhh!
10:03Ahhhhhhh!
10:05Abby! Abby!
10:07Abby!
10:08It's going to be behind us!
10:11Abby! Abby!
10:12Abby! Abby!
10:17Abby!
10:19Abby! Abby!
10:19Abby! Abby!
10:21Shh! Shh!
10:23It's okay. It's okay.
10:25It's okay.
10:27Shh!
10:34Drink this.
10:36It'll do you good.
10:40It's...
10:40It's...
10:41It's still here.
10:44It's still here with us.
10:49Somewhere...
10:50Mary, stop.
10:55Tell me this isn't real.
10:59You were hysterical.
11:00You could have done it yourself.
11:03They were his fingers.
11:07Our dead's little fingers.
11:09He's gone, Lorena.
11:11Our son is dead and it's time to move on.
11:14How can I?
11:16He won't let me.
11:21Then it's time to bury him.
11:23Once and for all.
11:24No.
11:29Where are you going?
11:32What are you doing?
11:33It should have been done weeks ago.
11:35No! No!
11:36We're giving this stuff away.
11:38We don't have a son anymore.
11:40Put that back, Nick!
11:42We gotta clear this room.
11:43It's gonna come a shrine to your field.
11:45I won't let you bury him!
11:51Tate is dead!
11:53Do you hear me?
11:55He's dead!
12:03I'm the reason why.
12:14I'm the reason why.
12:27Once upon a time...
12:32I had it all.
12:36A wonderful marriage.
12:39A great job.
12:44Getting to live by the ocean.
12:45How I cared for this child.
12:47That I always loved.
12:49Even before he was born...
12:53I was the most diligent mother in history.
12:56I did everything right.
13:00And it worked.
13:03We had a beautiful baby boy.
13:17Turned out I could only care for him in my womb.
13:21Why do you think your son is returning to you?
13:28I guess he wants me to save him.
13:30But you know that's impossible.
13:33Don't you, Lorena?
13:34Whatakee?
13:47I'mä»–çš„ care you need.
13:53I can do it.
13:54I can do it!
13:55I can't make any of you.
13:55I can do it.
13:56I can do it.
13:56I can do it.
13:57I can do it.
13:59I can do it.
14:12I'm thinking of cooking dinner for Nick tonight.
14:15Poor guy's been eating takeout for six weeks.
14:18I'm sure he'll be delighted.
14:20Well, nothing elaborate at first.
14:22I'm shooting for meatloaf.
14:25Hey, the way you make meatloaf,
14:26you'll need a bicarbonate chaser.
14:30I need to rest this thing for a while.
14:33Let's go over here.
14:36Okay?
14:36Yeah.
14:41Now that you're back to making meatloaf,
14:43you know what else I think you're ready for?
14:46No, but I bet you'll tell me.
14:48The getaway weekend at the Swan Hotel.
14:52Julia.
14:53They treat you like royalty,
14:55and it's the most romantic place around.
14:58It's where Joe and I got this bun cooking in the oven.
15:03Just the place for you and Nick to start a new family.
15:07I think I need to clear one little letter, Karen.
15:10Thanks for clearing.
15:23It's okay.
15:24I'll get it for you.
15:39Carl, this is not a good time.
15:42Well, you should have thought about that before driving drunk.
15:47Yes, Carl.
15:48I'm well aware of how much money you sink into this firm.
15:52Look, I've got someone coming over.
15:53I need another 15 minutes.
15:57You sent a car.
16:00You're fine.
16:01You're fine.
16:02You see you.
16:06Honey, I won't be gone long,
16:08and Julia should be here any minute,
16:09as soon as she gets back from Lamaze.
16:11There's nothing to worry about.
16:14Nothing to worry about.
16:15It's okay, Nick.
16:19I understand now what he wants from me.
16:22Come on, tell me, Lorena.
16:25What does he want?
16:32You'd better go.
16:35I'm not leaving you.
16:37You have to.
16:43Call me the minute Julia gets here.
16:46You've got my mobile number.
16:53I love you.
16:55I know.
17:05Mrs. Shaw, I'm sorry for what I did.
17:08Please forgive me.
17:10Mrs. Shaw, I'm sorry for what I did.
17:13Is anyone you can forgive me?
17:23Help, help, help.
17:27Help, Monty!
17:29Help!
17:30Help, Monty!
17:32I'm not late!
17:33Help me!
17:36Help!
17:37Help!
17:40Help, Monty!
17:41Help!
17:42Help, Monty!
17:43Help!
17:44Help, Monty!
17:46Help, Monty!
17:47Help, Monty!
17:51I'm coming, sweetheart.
17:54He's coming.
17:56Help, Monty!
17:58Help!
17:58Help, Monty!
18:01Help, Monty!
18:02Help, Monty!
18:05Help!
18:07Help!
18:11Monty's late!
18:13Help!
18:16Help!
18:18Please help me!
18:19Someone on journey!
18:21Help me!
18:21Help me, please!
18:22On journey!
18:23Help me!
18:23Somebody, please!
18:25Somebody!
18:33Is he all right?
18:34No, no.
18:36No, no!
18:40No.
18:44I just gotta make it.
19:25Everything's all right now.
19:26Everything's all right.
19:34You can see forever today.
19:36It's beautiful when the mist is cleared.
19:40There'll be a lot more days like this.
19:42I hope so.
19:46I want to share it with my class again.
19:48You're going back.
19:50It's about time, don't you think?
19:56I know Tate thought it was.
19:59That's why he came back, to save my life.
20:04To feel forgiveness.
20:11And so it is that a tortured mind can create illusions that haunt us for the imagined sins we've committed.
20:20Just as it's true that the love of a child for his mother never dies.
20:25Reaching across the void from death to life, calming her anguished heart.
20:37That's a great place.
20:38I hope.
20:45I hope so.
20:46I hope so.
20:47I hope so.
20:47I hope so.
20:47You
