00:22Good morning.
00:23Hey.
00:26Got some Jameson.
00:28If you want a little extra help getting through this.
00:30Why not?
00:32Not every day you go to your mom's will reading.
00:37Why do we have to have a formal reading anyway?
00:40Feels like we're in that movie.
00:41You know, the one with the James Bond guy?
00:43Where he has that crazy southern accent?
00:45Knives out.
00:46Yeah, that one.
00:50Can't believe she's gone.
00:52Yeah, I know.
00:55It didn't really feel real until today.
00:59Yeah, well.
01:02Let's get this over with.
01:10Your pacing game is intense.
01:12I almost can't look away.
01:14Why do I even have to be there?
01:15It's just how will readings are.
01:17I know, but surely the lawyer can just send me whatever Sue left me in the will.
01:20I mean, I loved Sue.
01:22I really did.
01:23But, I mean, let's face it.
01:25She probably left me some hideous piece of driftwood art that I'm going to hate treasure for the rest of
01:29my life.
01:31I don't want to see Sam.
01:33I know.
01:34I'm so embarrassed.
01:36You didn't do anything wrong.
01:37No, but I wanted to.
01:38And I think he did too.
01:39And if Delilah hadn't walked in.
01:42I mean, he has a girlfriend.
01:43He does.
01:44Why did I even go there?
01:46Because this place has you all twisted.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Look, you came back here for Sue, right?
01:52And it was really brave knowing that you're going to have to face the past.
01:55You just have to do it for, like, a little bit longer now.
01:58I hate that you're always right.
02:00I know.
02:01I know.
02:02But it's a burden that I'm happy to carry.
02:04It's going to be so awkward.
02:07Absolutely.
02:07Yeah.
02:08But as your friend and your lawyer, you can do this.
02:14Armor on.
02:15Okay?
02:16We're going to face this.
02:20Hang on.
02:21Why are you in your lawyer outfit?
02:22You think I'm going to let you face the Florek boys alone?
02:24Absolutely not.
02:26Friend and lawyer on the job.
02:31I'm sorry we're meeting under these circumstances.
02:34Sue is quite a woman.
02:36And we all miss her.
02:38How long is this going to take?
02:39Um, not long.
02:40We're just waiting for one more person.
02:42Who else would Mom put in her will?
02:46Lovely.
02:47Let's get started.
02:48What the hell?
02:49I'm as confused as you all are.
02:51Who are you?
02:51I'm Chantal.
02:52I'm Percy's lawyer.
02:53We haven't had the pleasure, but you must be Sam.
02:55You brought a lawyer to my mom's will reading?
02:57What the hell's going on?
02:58It's Fraser.
02:58There was no need to bring outside representation.
03:00Why are they even here?
03:01Do we need a lawyer?
03:02Technically, that's me.
03:03For the estate.
03:04No, no, no.
03:04No one needs a lawyer.
03:05This is my friend who also happens to be a lawyer, who's here strictly for moral support.
03:10I promise.
03:11Although I reserve the right to move from friend to lawyer on a case-by-case basis.
03:14Okay, okay.
03:15Sit down, please.
03:16Just be a bit of a little longer.
03:21All right, then.
03:22Now that we're all here, let's begin.
03:30Sue's will was fairly straightforward, so this should be quick.
03:35The entirety of Sue Floric's estate will be split evenly between her two sons, Charlie
03:40and Sam, with one exception.
03:42The tavern and all of its contents will be left solely to Persephone Fraser.
03:47Are you fucking kidding me?
03:49No.
03:51I...
03:52I...
03:52I don't understand.
03:54Are you sure?
03:55This has...
03:55This has to be a mistake.
03:56No, exactly.
03:57Why the hell would she do that?
03:58No mistake.
03:59Sue updated her will in 2021 to include this provision.
04:03I added it myself.
04:07These belong to you now.
04:08Un-fucking-believable.
04:10Sam, Sam.
04:11I had no idea.
04:12I swear.
04:13I don't want it.
04:14I promise.
04:14As your lawyer, I advise you to stop talking.
04:16I don't want it.
04:17It isn't mine.
04:18It belongs to your family.
04:19Can we at least just talk about it?
04:20I don't have time for you right now.
04:21I need to go talk to my brother.
04:23I don't...
04:24I don't want it.
04:25My client is in shock.
04:26This is not an official resignation of said property.
04:28Okay.
04:32Did you see Sam's face?
04:36How did you talk me into this?
04:38Same way I always do.
04:39Sheer charm, shameless persistence.
04:43You smell like summer.
04:45Good.
04:46Because now that you're here, it can officially begin.
04:49Oh, I missed you, Persephone Fraser.
04:51Right, but catch it, Sam Wise.
04:53Are we really doing this?
04:54I was sort of hoping it was just an elaborate prank.
04:56You're going to love it.
04:57I promise.
04:59Did you read the training plan I sent?
05:00Couch to 5K, The Lazy Girl's Guide to Not Dying.
05:03So, so inspiring.
05:05That wasn't the title.
05:06It was heavily, heavily implied.
05:08Okay, well, first we're going to run an easy 3K.
05:123K, easy.
05:13Speak for yourself.
05:14Remember, I'm both the couch and the lazy girl in this scenario.
05:17Look, I'll pace us, okay?
05:18By the end of the summer, we're going to be running all the way to town and back.
05:21How delightfully hideous.
05:23Where's the part where I get to eat waffles and go back to bed?
05:29Converse, seriously, those are not running shoes.
05:31I sent you, like, three articles on the importance of running shoes.
05:33I skimmed the headlines.
05:34They're shoes.
05:35It'll be fine.
05:36Come on.
05:52Crap.
05:53What?
05:53How is this even possible?
05:55So much for all those smack-talking emails about how this is going to be the summer of self-improvement.
06:01Wow, you are killing us.
06:03Fine, I'll cut you a break.
06:07Three updates?
06:08You first.
06:10Okay, Grandma.
06:12I finally binge-watched all four seasons of Game of Thrones.
06:15The Red Wedding.
06:17Brutal.
06:19Number two.
06:20Jordy finally got him to play World of Warcraft with me.
06:22And, of course, he's addicted.
06:24He even downloaded the Warlords of Draenor expansion pack.
06:28It's your turn, Jordy, into your emotional support door.
06:30Got it.
06:31And last but not least, I'm applying for an after-school internship at the hospital.
06:36That's awesome.
06:36Yeah, yeah, real doctor stuff and shadowing and everything.
06:40Show off.
06:41Okay, your turn.
06:43Okay, um, well, school, obviously.
06:46Mostly I'm just consumed by this evil writing seminar.
06:49It's just structure and mechanics and crap.
06:51It's making me think too much.
06:53And that's a problem because...
06:56Because I can't get out of my head.
06:57The flow isn't happening.
06:59It feels like work.
07:01I am so glad I decided to become a doctor.
07:04It sounds way easier.
07:06Forgot how pretty it was in the morning.
07:09I am so jumping in right now.
07:13Still wishing you were here.
07:14Just kill me.
07:16Right now I should be okay.
07:23Oh, come on!
07:30Oh my gosh, yes!
07:32This is perfection.
07:33So are you coming in or what?
07:36Oh, you're looking for your car to kill me.
07:44Right now I should be okay.
07:55There's something I need to tell you.
07:58Okay.
08:01Something I'm not sure you're going to want to hear.
08:07Just say it.
08:11I hate running and nothing you say or do will ever make me want to do it again.
08:15Okay, got it.
08:16No more running.
08:17There's like tiny, tiny, minuscule part of me that understands why you like it.
08:23Good to know the tiniest bit of you understands me.
08:25No.
08:26Even though every muscle in my body was screaming earlier, I feel pretty good now.
08:32Right?
08:33That's the runner's eye.
08:34I mean, I wouldn't go that far.
08:37But there's something about it.
08:40It's like I was in so much pain for about half a minute.
08:46I couldn't obsess over my stupid story.
08:50Took the edge off.
08:53That's why I do it.
08:56Starting to do it midterms this year.
09:07Have you ever thought about swimming across it?
09:14The lake?
09:16Ever since I saw it, I wondered if I could make it across.
09:22Maybe that's what I need this summer.
09:25Something big.
09:28Something impossible.
09:29To get me out of my head for a while.
09:34I think I need to swim across it.
09:39I'll help you drink.
09:41I like the way you talk.
09:43I like the things you wear.
09:46Every time I turn around, you disappear.
09:54I want to blow your mind.
09:56Okay, come here, come here, come here.
09:57You're okay.
09:58You're okay.
09:58I swear I'm gonna take you somewhere.
10:01Want your news, you're all I'm mad.
10:03Cause when the morning comes, I know you won't be there.
10:08Every time I turn around, you disappear.
10:16I like the way you talk.
10:19I like the things you wear.
10:21But every time I turn around, you disappear.
10:41You're ready.
10:53You did it.
10:55Yes.
10:57Let's do this.
10:59You can do it.
11:00He's leaving you, kiddo.
11:01All right.
11:02Go, Percy.
11:04Hey, language.
11:05Sorry.
11:05Sam.
11:06Come on.
11:06Okay.
11:07Okay.
11:09All right, Percy, we got you.
11:10Oh, my gosh.
11:12Okay.
11:12Woo!
11:13Woo!
11:15Woo!
11:16Come on, sweetheart.
11:17Go, Percy!
11:19Go, Percy!
11:31Multiple things happen in 2021.
11:32Tiger King, whipped coffee trend, bored Chewgy.
11:36I'm just trying to make you feel better.
11:37No, I need that.
11:38I can't get the look on Sam's face out of my head.
11:41It was so full of contempt.
11:43Like, I'd ruined everything all over again.
11:45I don't know.
11:46What was you thinking?
11:47I don't know, but she managed to cause a lot of drama from the grave.
11:49She knew about what I did.
11:51You have to stop punishing yourself.
11:53Uh, thank you.
11:54I don't think we're quite ready for...
11:56Okay.
11:56One of us is ready for round two.
11:58She sent these over.
12:00Oh.
12:02Thanks.
12:04Does day get any weirder?
12:05Ooh, that's biting your tongue.
12:07Oh, fuck.
12:08She's gonna grow me about last night.
12:09Hi.
12:10Hi.
12:11I just thought some congratulations were in order.
12:14For?
12:15For being the new owner of the tavern, silly.
12:18I heard, like, all about how Sue left it to you.
12:21Oh, already?
12:22Damn.
12:22This is a small town.
12:24I'm not sure if congratulations is the word I'd use.
12:27No, that is true.
12:28It is such a double-edged sword.
12:29Sue left such a generous gift, but also quite the burden.
12:33Right.
12:33Running a seasonal enterprise, especially from afar, seems like a big responsibility.
12:37Mm, yeah.
12:39Are you maybe thinking of selling?
12:42Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?
12:44Hmm?
12:47What do you want, Delilah?
12:49What?
12:50No, I just want to mark the occasion.
12:53Well, you're biting your lower lip, which means you want something.
13:00Okay, fine.
13:01I want to buy the tavern from you.
13:11What the hell was that?
13:12You stormed out.
13:14What'd you want me to do?
13:15Stay and congratulate her?
13:17No, instead you left me to deal with her.
13:18I just can't believe Mom did that.
13:21She made a monumental decision alone, and then blindsided us.
13:25And I'm supposed to just smile and act like everything's okay?
13:27Look, I agree.
13:28What Mom did was unexpected.
13:32And I'm not exactly thrilled that she left our family business to my ex-girlfriend, but
13:36why do you care?
13:37You're the one who wants to sell the place and get rid of it.
13:39I mean, that's all you've talked about.
13:40Because that should have been our decision.
13:42I've been working for weeks on lining up a buyer, and now...
13:45Hold up.
13:46You've been talking to buyers?
13:47Who?
13:48Delilah's been circling.
13:49She wants it.
13:52Delilah?
13:54So what, you've been plotting with her behind my back?
13:56Plotting?
13:57Really?
13:58Let's not get so dramatic.
13:59What am I supposed to call it?
14:00I mean, you were clearly hiding it from me.
14:02When were you going to tell me?
14:03After the sale?
14:04I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react like this.
14:09I obviously wasn't going to do anything without clearing it with you first.
14:13Selling isn't the worst idea, you know.
14:15Okay, picture it.
14:16Soho House at the Lake.
14:18Like, bohemian chic, but like, for rich people.
14:20Like, low lighting, velvet poof, signature cocktails, members only for instant mystique.
14:26I don't know what the hell a velvet poof is, but I'm in.
14:30I will be a founding member.
14:31Whoa, whoa.
14:33Members only?
14:34The tavern?
14:35Uh, that place is in desperate need for a little exclusivity.
14:39No, no, no, no, no.
14:40The tavern is for everyone.
14:42It's for locals, day fishers, tourists, kids.
14:46It's not for people who use summer as a verb.
14:48Yeah, but velvet poofs.
14:50No, no.
14:51Exclusivity is what's ruining this entire town.
14:53Well, you can't stop progress, Percy.
14:56Progress?
14:57That's what you call all these cute little cottages being replaced by 7,000 square foot
15:02farmhouse McMansions with not an ounce of soul or character?
15:06Sorry, cute cottages?
15:08Mm-hmm.
15:09Most of those are termite-infested, moldy money pits.
15:12I mean, she's not wrong.
15:13Although I do agree that the modern farmhousing, it's overplayed.
15:17Well, it is for the best.
15:19I mean, even your old place is getting turned into a soulless McMansion.
15:24What?
15:24Mm-hmm.
15:26I mean, I knew it was being demolished, but to be replaced by one of those?
15:29Really?
15:30Mm-hmm.
15:31Word is, they're building a boathouse to make it look like a faux barn.
15:36No.
15:36No, no, no, no, no.
15:38No.
15:39Mm-mm.
15:41Oh!
15:42Oh, it's just a little higher and I can do it!
15:45Watch their feet!
15:46And why do you have so many limbs?
15:48How the hell did I get?
15:49I'm going to do this.
15:50I'm going to go home.
15:51No, you are one of us now, so no.
15:53Oh, yeah?
15:54Oh!
15:54Oh, my God!
15:55Oh, my God!
15:57Ow!
15:57You just kicked me in the boob!
15:59Sorry!
16:00Just, just a little more.
16:02I can make it.
16:03I need to use your core.
16:04One, two, three.
16:06Push!
16:08Ow!
16:09Shit!
16:10I'm okay!
16:40What is it?
16:41Percy!
16:42Are you locked?
16:43Come on, let us do it!
16:45It's weird.
16:48In a few days, this won't be ours anymore.
16:52Yeah.
16:5448 hours, and it officially belongs to Percy.
17:08You might be right about selling.
17:12This place was always kind of an albatross.
17:15But it was our albatross.
17:17I mean, we spent a lot of our lives in this room.
17:20I had my first beer here.
17:21So did you.
17:23Yeah, thanks to my irresponsible older brother.
17:25Hey, you were 16.
17:27Try 14.
17:29Yeah, well, you were so sick the next day, you swore up alcohol for the whole year.
17:34So think of it as a public service.
17:36And then you made me the best hangover breakfast burrito of my life.
17:40Do you remember that?
17:41Tater tots, leftover brisket, three kinds of cheese.
17:44Pretty much a masterpiece.
17:46Still chasing that eye.
17:49Let's not forget about the table here.
17:52Remember when all your ex-girlfriends sat together and plotted you to mine?
17:55Yeah, you mean the Charlie's an asshole support group?
17:58Terrible tippers.
17:59Yeah.
18:01Funny, three seem like a low number.
18:02I figured the meeting would be much better attended.
18:07I can't believe all of this was just left here.
18:10It's like the gray gardens of Barry's Bay.
18:13I got sold to some developer.
18:15I guess no one really cares about this dump.
18:16Hey, this was my home.
18:19Not anymore.
18:21A lot's changed.
18:22Didn't seem like that last night.
18:25So if I didn't walk in on you and Sam, what would have happened?
18:28I don't know.
18:30At least you're honest.
18:31Yeah, well, I followed the standard prissy formula.
18:34One bad decision begets another bad decision.
18:37It's pretty much my life mantra.
18:39Oh, come on.
18:40You know it's true.
18:42The past few years I've been floating.
18:44I go to work.
18:45I go out.
18:46I drunk text one of my hookups.
18:48And I do it all over again.
18:50That sounds pretty amazing.
18:51I think the word you're looking for is tragic.
18:53No, that's what your 20s are supposed to be.
18:54Not married.
18:56Going to a country club.
18:58Well, that sounds awful.
18:59Yeah, well, it sucks.
19:00I haven't been in a real relationship since Sam.
19:05Think I might still be in love with him.
19:08Maybe I'm in love with the idea of him.
19:09Of us, what we used to be.
19:13I think I'm probably also holding on to the idea of something.
19:18Mm-hmm.
19:19Wit hasn't even been to the lake this summer.
19:22I haven't seen him in weeks.
19:23Wow.
19:23But everything you keep saying is just bullshit.
19:26It's all bullshit.
19:27We decided to take the summer apart.
19:31Kind of like a Kyle Mauricio situation.
19:35I have no idea what that means.
19:36We just wanted to see what our lives would look like separately.
19:39And if we wanted that.
19:41And then I've been miserable.
19:43I had no idea.
19:44You've been really good at hiding that.
19:47I think.
19:48I think that this is why I want the tavern so bad.
19:51It's just focus on something other than my marriage.
19:54My marriage failing.
19:55Just something that's mine.
19:57And not mine in wits.
19:58You know?
19:59Mm-hmm.
20:00If I feel like I need this.
20:02I understand.
20:04I don't want to get married.
20:05I'm sorry.
20:06Hearing you talk about your relationship, it makes me feel like I can't breathe.
20:10I thought you and Drew were happy.
20:12I think he is.
20:13But me, all I do is work.
20:16Then take a vacation.
20:17Relax.
20:19No, that's the problem.
20:20I don't want to.
20:21I like working.
20:23Actually, I love it.
20:24And I'm afraid that getting married will just get in the way of that.
20:27I'm confused.
20:28Well, marriage comes with the expectation that you're going to share your life.
20:30And I don't think I'm capable of that.
20:33No, no.
20:33I would stay single.
20:34Right?
20:35Stop.
20:36Drew loves you.
20:38I know you love him, too.
20:40You're just scared.
20:42You're so scared.
20:43It's okay.
20:43Maybe, maybe.
20:44I don't know.
20:45Maybe.
20:47What is it?
20:49Oh, my God.
20:50What?
20:50Is there a spider?
20:51No.
20:51These are my old stories.
20:55Oh, man.
20:56I haven't seen these in years.
21:01I won't miss this.
21:03I used to hate doing this.
21:04Me, too.
21:05The amount of random, weird, sticky substances I've wiped off this bar.
21:10I guess that's Percy's problem now.
21:13What was Mom thinking?
21:15She wasn't.
21:16No, no.
21:17She wouldn't do something this big for no reason.
21:19I mean, she always had a reason.
21:20I just wish I knew what it was.
21:26What?
21:30Mom, well, she didn't always make the best decisions.
21:35Leaving the tavern to Percy sort of tracks.
21:37What are you talking about?
21:38She was incredible.
21:40She was warm, smart, had her shit together.
21:43Not always.
21:45What do you mean?
21:47After Dad died, she kind of fell apart.
21:51Yeah, I mean, she was grieving.
21:53Yeah.
21:54She was running this place, taking care of us.
21:56No, she wasn't.
21:58That first year, you were 11.
22:00Maybe you don't remember.
22:01Or maybe you didn't see it.
22:02I tried to hide it from you.
22:04See what?
22:06Mom was...
22:09dark.
22:12Down.
22:13I guess some shrink might even say depressed.
22:17Sometimes she would just stay in her pajamas all day.
22:20What are you talking about?
22:21She went to work.
22:22Not often.
22:23Sometimes I would come home from school,
22:24and she'd just be sitting at the kitchen table, staring.
22:28It was scary.
22:30I don't remember any of this.
22:33That's because I tried to just keep things going for us.
22:36That was the year we did sugar cereal rotation.
22:38Yeah.
22:39Yeah, Monday was fruity bubbles.
22:40And Friday was frosted flakes.
22:43That was because I was doing the grocery shopping that year.
22:46Damn.
22:49I didn't know that.
22:50I didn't want you to know.
22:52As long as you were getting your homework done, I made it to school.
22:56How did I miss this?
22:58Sam, you were just a kid.
22:59Yeah, but you were just 14.
23:01I mean, that shouldn't have been on you.
23:04It was my job to protect you.
23:07She got better.
23:08And things got better, but...
23:12And I feel bad for saying this.
23:18But I'm still so pissed at her.
23:25She left us alone that year.
23:35You're a good big brother, Charlie.
23:39I love you guys.
23:41We, like, need more love in this world, right?
23:44Especially as women.
23:46Yes, hard to agree.
23:47Like, if we don't have each other's backs, who else will?
23:52I feel so good.
23:54You doing it?
23:55Yes, I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
23:57No, I just, I miss having girlfriends.
24:00Ever since I got married, we just have a couple friends.
24:02And the wives are so basic, boring.
24:06I hate them.
24:07You are way more interesting than that.
24:10I know, I am.
24:12Yes, of course.
24:13And I just, I want real relationships.
24:16And I used to have them when I was younger.
24:19Right, Percy?
24:21What?
24:22I mean, I was a good friend, wasn't I?
24:27You were.
24:35And I was actually a good writer.
24:38I mean, some of this is beyond cringe, but there's a fearlessness here.
24:43I don't think I could write like this anymore.
24:47What happened?
24:48I had so much confidence.
24:52Come on, Percy!
24:56Come on, Percy!
24:57You got this!
24:58Come on, Percy!
24:59You got this!
25:01Go!
25:02Come on, Miss.
25:02Come on.
25:03Hey, Mom.
25:03Let's go meet him at the halfway point.
25:05Yes, okay.
25:06Come on, sweet Percy!
25:09Come on, Percy.
25:10Come on!
25:12Easy.
25:13Easy work.
25:22You are doing so well.
25:24I'm so proud of you.
25:35Percy!
25:36Yeah, Percy!
25:38Keep going!
25:43Woo!
25:45Woo!
25:49Woo!
25:49Woo!
25:50Woo!
25:53Woo!
25:53Woo!
26:11Nice!
26:12Yes!
26:12Yes!
26:15He's so close.
26:16Come on,VA.
26:18Killing it!
26:19Look at this!
26:20Come on!
26:23Here's a Jake.
26:40You are a total badass.
26:44I mean, you just did that without any brakes.
26:46You were like a machine.
26:48That was insane.
26:56He's so pretty.
26:58Did you just say I was pretty?
27:02Wait, I said that out loud?
27:04Yeah, you are totally out of it.
27:07Totally.
27:08Oh, my legs feel like jello.
27:11I'm pretty sure my lungs are on fire.
27:13Drink.
27:26I am so freaking proud of you.
27:30I'm pretty freaking proud of me, too.
27:50I'm pretty sure my lungs are on fire.
27:53And you're kicking me because...
27:55I got too much adrenaline.
27:57Still, making it across the lake, I feel like I could take on anything.
28:00I mean, is there such a thing as a swimmer's high?
28:02Well, you conquered the water.
28:04I think you can invent whatever you want.
28:11Wow, that must be a really fascinating book.
28:14You've been reading it all summer.
28:16Yep.
28:17Good plot line?
28:18Riveting.
28:19Are you giving me shit for studying?
28:21No, no shit giving here.
28:23Okay.
28:23Okay.
28:31I like concentrating, Sam.
28:33It's cute.
28:37Yeah?
28:38Yeah.
28:41Whoa!
28:41That looks like something that's supposed to be in one of my stories.
28:44Let's skin this guy.
28:45It's nightmarish, even for me.
28:47It's a diagram of the muscular system.
28:49Okay.
28:50Oh, so like the calf muscle?
28:54Exactly.
28:55The thing you use when you're pretending to run.
28:58Good to know.
29:05Did you, uh...
29:08Did you learn anything else from that book of yours?
29:14Want to enlighten me, genius?
29:21Oh, yeah.
29:24I guess I'll have to find some other future doctor to educate me and...
29:31No, no.
29:32I got it.
29:42I ain't cool.
29:47And this is your knee.
29:50I thought you were smart.
29:52What grade level is that book?
29:58Vastus medialis.
30:05Vastus lateralis.
30:10Tenser.
30:12Vastus lateralis.
30:19Are you done with the anatomy lesson, or should I keep going?
30:42Are we doing this?
30:45Hell yeah.
30:46We're doing this.
30:58You two have spent a lot of time together this summer.
31:02So, I think it's time we have a little chat.
31:05Oh, my God, Mom, no.
31:06If you're sexually active, I...
31:09We're not, we're not, yet.
31:11I mean, I was 16 once.
31:13And I think we can guess where this is going.
31:15Oh, no.
31:16No, Mom.
31:17Sam, people fall in love and have sex.
31:19Even your mother.
31:21And I know how close you two are.
31:23I mean, this is not just something casual.
31:27It's so much more than that.
31:30And, you know, sometimes these beautiful relationships can get, you know, complicated and even messy.
31:37People can get hurt.
31:38That won't happen with us.
31:40Well, I know you don't want it to.
31:42And I don't want that for you either.
31:43But you want to be a doctor.
31:45And, Percy, you want to be a writer.
31:47You have dreams.
31:48We do.
31:49And I don't want you to forget them because they're your dreams.
31:54Sometimes falling in love can make you walk away from those.
31:59You know, it's just, things can get hard.
32:02So, just promise me that you won't forget what you want out of life.
32:05I promise.
32:09Yeah.
32:16I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow.
32:20Yeah, I don't want you to leave.
32:23I don't think the mosquitoes want me to leave either.
32:38What?
32:41You're being weird.
32:43I'm just...
32:44I've just been thinking.
32:47Yeah?
32:49About us.
32:53I'm thinking about us.
32:54Oh, my God.
32:55Are you going to say we're making a mistake?
32:57No, no, no, no.
32:58God, no, no.
32:59Look, we, this, we are so far from a mistake.
33:05You are maybe the best thing that's ever happened to me.
33:11Okay, good.
33:14Good.
33:20Because you're important, too, and Chrissy.
33:25You're my best friend.
33:29Tim, is this the, I just want to be friends thing?
33:32Because I thought we were past that.
33:35I just...
33:37I've never...
33:39I don't know how to do this, and I'm really afraid to screw it all up, which I really feel
33:43like I'm doing right now, because I just want to get it right.
33:46I'm not ready to get it right.
33:49I'm ready.
33:52Yeah, but...
33:55I mean, you leave tomorrow...
33:58for a year.
34:00I mean, we both have our own lives, Percy.
34:02My internship at the hospital, your writing seminar.
34:04So?
34:07So, it's junior year.
34:11I have so much pressure on me right now, I...
34:15I can't go to college without a scholarship.
34:17I have to focus.
34:19Or all my plans will get screwed up.
34:28Will you look at me, please?
34:35So we just go back to before?
34:37Date other people?
34:42I don't want another girlfriend.
34:44I want you.
34:48But I'd be a giant asshole if I said that we shouldn't be together right now, and then I still
34:52asked you not to be with anyone else.
34:53That's not fair.
34:59Even if it is exactly what I want.
35:03You're an asshole either way.
35:08I want you to go.
35:21I want you to go to the bathroom bathroom.
35:30To you.
35:32Who has a hat?
35:32I want you to go.
35:33Do you want me to go?
35:36I want you to go.
35:38I want you to go.
35:48No, no, no, oh, the cops are coming up the driveway, um, okay, getting arrested is not
35:51going to help me make partner, so, we're getting up, we're going.
35:54We don't do well in the incident.
35:55You, well, you're doing well right now.
35:56Okay.
35:57I'm coming, just let me, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, hurry up, guys, guys, guys,
36:04guys, wait, guys, wait, running's not my favorite.
36:06Come down with your hands up.
36:27You bailed me out?
36:30My buddy's the deputy, he called me.
36:36I didn't...
36:38I need you to come here.
36:41Wow, okay, so no thank you?
36:47You know what, next time I just won't come.
36:49Yeah, that sounds about right.
36:50The hell's that supposed to mean?
36:52Tired of the mixed signals.
36:54Mixed signals?
36:55Yes.
36:56You showing up here.
36:59And that swim in the lake yesterday, what was that?
37:01Two people swimming?
37:02Uh-huh, sure.
37:04Right when you invited me to the tavern for some kind of late-night quasi-date situation.
37:08I-I just wanted your help.
37:10Right.
37:11You wanted to what?
37:12Hang out?
37:13Catch up?
37:14Because it sure felt like you wanted something more.
37:16I-I can't do this anymore.
37:19I-I can't do this anymore, any of it.
37:24I'm so tired of being jerked around by you.
37:28You reel me in and then you pull away?
37:33I always thought you were a constant in my life when we were young.
37:37But you're not at all.
37:38Excuse me?
37:38I never know where I stand with you.
37:41You want me and then you don't.
37:42It's...
37:43My heart can't take it anymore.
37:45It's confusing and hurtful and deeply unfair.
37:48And I'm sure Taylor would feel the same way.
37:57You're right.
38:02I don't know what I was thinking.
38:04I guess I-I just got...
38:07Confused.
38:11Seeing you again, it...
38:14Brought up feelings...
38:17From when we were kids.
38:22Me too.
38:24But that was then and this is now.
38:32It was wrong.
38:34And I'm sorry.
38:38It won't happen again.
38:40It won't happen again.
38:42It won't happen again.
38:43Did you?
38:43Don't you do.
38:45It won't happen again.
38:47Did you?
38:48Oh, oh, oh.
38:55Oh, oh.
39:00Oh, oh.
39:02Oh, oh.
39:04Oh, oh.
39:19Hey, kiddo.
39:20Hey, Dad.
39:24I don't know what to do.
39:26Well, maybe the tavern's the change you need.
39:29What? No, no, that's not what you meant to say, Dad.
39:34You know that Sue called me the day your first byline ran in the Seattle Times?
39:39She did?
39:40Your mom and I were so proud to see your name in print.
39:43But Sue, she wanted to make sure you weren't abandoning your fiction writing.
39:48She knew how talented you were, how talented you are.
39:51I had no idea you were still in touch.
39:54I thought you and Mom wanted nothing to do with Barry's Bay after what happened.
39:58Well, your mom wanted to run away, which I understand we were terrified.
40:04But sometimes I wonder if, you know, we did the right thing in leaving for you.
40:09But this place is painful.
40:12I know.
40:15But it's also the only place I've seen you truly inspired.
40:21I think when we left the lake, you didn't just lose Sam, you lost a little bit of yourself, too.
40:31I couldn't write anymore.
40:33It's like I lost the joy of it.
40:35Maybe Sue knew that.
40:36I don't think it's a coincidence she changed her will shortly after our talk.
40:41There's something about the lake.
40:42It's like I feel the most like me.
40:46You, uh, you come back from a swim, be full of ideas, and we wouldn't see you until dinner.
40:52I haven't felt like that since.
40:56Well, since I left, really.
41:02But I can't, I can't be in the same place as Sam or Charlie.
41:07Mom's right.
41:08They're, they're bad for me.
41:10After the funeral, they will leave and go back to their lives.
41:13But what if you're supposed to stay?
41:17Charlie, do you remember when you were training to swim the lake that summer?
41:22What was it that you used to always say?
41:26The only way to the other side is through.
41:31Maybe that still applies.
41:33Hm?
41:45What's here in this room is sacred, is truth, as brief as a prayer.
41:56Ooh, set my grip.
42:00Cause I know what this is.
42:06Word passes by.
42:09Chips in the night.
42:39You were right about mom.
42:41She didn't always make the best decisions.
42:46Yeah.
42:48Maybe she thought leaving Percy the tavern would help her in some way, but...
42:53It doesn't help me and I'm her son.
43:00Percy being here...
43:04It's bad for me.
43:07Okay.
43:09Then we'll contest the will.
43:14Look, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye.
43:17But you've always been there for me, Charlie.
43:20The constant.
43:22I feel like you're the only person I can really trust right now.
43:29Yeah.
43:30Absolutely.
43:32We gotta trust each other, Sam.
43:35No matter what.
43:38I got you.
43:41You always have.
43:44And I always will.
43:46Until we meet again.
43:52Until we meet again.
43:56Until we meet again.
43:56Until we meet again.
43:56Until we meet again.
43:56Until we meet again.
43:57Until we meet again.
43:58Until we meet again.
