Every Year After Episode 1
Transcript
00:05For those of you who might not know me, I'm Percy Fraser.
00:18For those of you who do know me, well, you know how nervous I am about public speaking.
00:25I mean, if it was anybody else, I would just be enjoying the champagne.
00:31You build a life. You lose your friends. You lose your wife. You settle in the routine. Where are you?
00:44Does it mean?
00:49But it isn't anybody. It's Chantal and her wonderful fiancé, Drew.
00:58And, uh, since I'm hopefully much better at writing than I am at this, I'll, uh...
01:15Love can be hard to find.
01:21Searching for that person to call your own.
01:23And I'm not how you hope.
01:26Sometimes it can be lonely out there.
01:31Cold, even.
01:34The currents can feel like they're against us.
01:37Until the summertime
01:41But if you're lucky, you find someone to be by your side.
01:50Someone who wants to share the journey with you.
01:55Someone who's there for you, even when the going gets rough.
02:01Someone who will put up with all of your madness and intensity.
02:07And doesn't just put up with it.
02:10But celebrates it.
02:14Celebrates you.
02:16Finding that person isn't easy.
02:20Making it work is even harder.
02:28So if you're lucky enough to find that person.
02:32Like Chantal and Drew found each other.
02:38Well.
02:42Never let go.
02:48To love worth holding on to.
02:52Forever.
02:53For if I know that I had it too low
02:56I was raised out of the cold
03:00If the sun don't rise
03:04Till the summertime
03:07For if I know that I had it too low
03:11I was raised on a little light
03:26Hey, Percy. Nice toast.
03:30It's like I almost believed it's true.
03:32You and I are the same. We know better.
03:37Yeah, we do. How's work?
03:40Been traveling a lot. You? Still in the Obed B's?
03:44Yeah. One of the few things newspapers still need writers for.
03:48And it pays the bills, so...
03:51You dating anyone?
03:53No. You?
03:56Uh-uh.
03:58Why, why, why are you leaving? Please, it's so early.
04:00It's 11, and I have work to do.
04:03You... Oh, that's bullshit. That...
04:10No.
04:11What?
04:11Jake. No. No, no, no, no, no. He's not Jake.
04:14He's your fiancé's brother.
04:15The half-brother, and his body count...
04:17Already includes me.
04:18Doesn't make him not an asshole.
04:20Well, I'm not looking for a good man. Just a good time.
04:24You can't have both, you know?
04:26Well, I know you can, and I could not be happier for you.
04:30I love you, and your gorgeous meyoncee.
04:35Love you. Be good.
04:36You know I won't.
04:44So, got any fun plans for the end of summer?
04:47Summer is for kids. I outgrew that years ago.
04:51The season?
04:54I'm going to need to celebrate it.
04:59Coming up?
05:01One thing I do miss about summer is being barefoot.
05:05These heels can suck it.
05:11I can rub them.
05:12Make it all better.
05:14That would be nice.
05:16I'll lie down.
05:26I need to take this.
05:45I need to take this.
05:49Charlie, hey, uh...
05:51I know. It's been a long time.
05:53God, I don't even know how long.
05:54Ten years?
05:56Wow.
05:57Long time.
05:58Yeah.
05:59I'm sorry to call so late.
06:00I...
06:01I have some news.
06:03Bad news.
06:04My mom passed away a few days ago.
06:06Oh, my God.
06:07I'm really sorry, Charlie.
06:10You...
06:10Uh, what...
06:11What happened?
06:12Lymphoma.
06:13She fought really hard.
06:16We're devastated, of course, but, um...
06:20She was sick of being sick.
06:22I should have been there.
06:24I should have checked in.
06:26There's a lot of things we all could have done differently.
06:30Anyway, I feel like she would have been really pissed if I didn't reach out.
06:36Her funeral's in a few days.
06:38Will you come?
06:41Percy, you there?
06:44Uh, uh...
06:46Yeah, yeah, I'll, um...
06:48Sorry, I'll try.
06:50For what it's worth...
06:53I know he wants you there, too.
06:54I know he wants you there, too.
07:34It was a panic attack.
07:35You haven't had one of those in years.
07:38I don't know if I can face it.
07:41Face what?
07:42The place I used to call home.
07:44People I hurt.
07:45Well, you spent the first five years, I knew you, having panic attacks, and the last five,
07:50hooking up with jerks like Jake and pretending like you don't care.
07:54It's not that I don't care.
07:54It's that I don't deserve any better.
07:57You deserve everything good.
07:59It's just my whole world is filled with regret because of the choices I made and how things
08:05end up with Sam.
08:07Honestly, it's been so long, I don't even know what I'd be walking into.
08:12You could social media stalk them?
08:14I've tried every few years or so.
08:16We're all private.
08:17Okay, well, that's just rude.
08:21Sam was the love of my life, and I can't move on, but I know I have to.
08:27I didn't say goodbye to Sue.
08:29I'm Barry's Bay, and I know I can't truly do that unless I finally say goodbye to Sam.
08:36I need to see him.
08:37Okay.
08:38How are you going to get there?
08:40I don't know, a ride car, I guess.
08:41For what?
08:43She's going to the lake.
08:45I think that's good, but you can't drive yourself, you just had a panic attack.
08:48I'll be fine.
08:49No, Chantal can take you.
08:52No, no, I have a huge deposition this week, I can't do that.
08:56They have Zoom and Wi-Fi everywhere.
09:01I could.
09:02Really?
09:02Yeah.
09:03You wouldn't mind?
09:05I would love to.
09:09Uh, where are the muffins?
09:12Shit.
09:13I forgot.
09:15I got coffees, though.
09:21I'll be right back.
09:22Yeah.
09:30I got caught up in a weight.
09:34Almost gave it away.
09:37But you hear me out.
09:40If I told you I was terrified for days.
09:44Thought I was gonna break.
09:47Oh, I couldn't stop it.
09:49Try to slow it all down.
09:52Crying in the bathroom, had to figure it out.
09:56With everyone around me saying, you must be so happy now.
10:05Oh, if you keep reaching out, then I'll keep coming back.
10:10If you're gonna focus, then I'm okay with that.
10:16If you leave the light on, then I'll leave the light on.
10:26Wow.
10:27There's a snow with a light that I'm still dancing at the end of the day.
10:35If you leave the light on, then I'll leave the light on.
10:42Wow.
10:44Pretty great, right?
10:47Wait till you see the house.
11:11Welcome to the lake, Persephone.
11:14Take me this.
11:17We could go to town.
11:19There might be girls there your age.
11:21I don't need girls my age.
11:23Of course not. I was just...
11:26Can I just go to the lake?
11:28Great idea.
11:29I'm gonna go get my swimsuit.
11:32Okay.
11:44I am finding out there's just no other way.
11:49And I'm still dancing at the end of the day.
11:55And if you leave the light on, then I'll leave the light on.
12:04And if you leave the light on, then I'll leave the light on.
12:16That's one of the doctors, the dishes.
12:18Not fair.
12:20You gotta have a start.
12:21No, no, no.
12:29No, no.
12:31Healers.
12:34You cheated.
12:36Did not.
12:37I did, too.
12:42Hey, hey, hey, hey.
12:46Hey.
12:48Hi.
12:50New neighbor?
12:52Yeah.
12:54Jesus, Sam, say hi.
12:56Hey.
13:04There were two of them.
13:05How old do you think they are?
13:08I don't know.
13:10Maybe they were my age.
13:11I think the younger one might be.
13:13Did you talk to them?
13:14I mean, they said hi.
13:16You know that raft thing?
13:18I, like, swim over.
13:20They didn't, like, invite me or anything.
13:24Oh.
13:32Hello.
13:33Hey.
13:34Uh, I'm so sorry to bother you, ma'am, but does the girl who was on the dock live here?
13:38Yes.
13:38That's our daughter, Percy.
13:39Oh, cool.
13:40We just want to say hi.
13:42Uh, sure.
13:44Percy, you have some guests here?
13:50I will just go back to the dishes.
13:55Hey, uh, I'm Charlie, this is Sam.
14:00Percy.
14:02So, Sam was wondering if maybe you wanted to play.
14:06Dude, I was not wondering that at all.
14:09Okay, fine. Um, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.
14:13With, with you guys?
14:15With Sam.
14:17I've got friends coming over later, so, you know.
14:19He doesn't want his kid brother lurking around.
14:21I told him I could just hide in my room, but we share a bathroom, so I can hear him
14:24hooking up.
14:24Okay, that's, that's enough on the details there, Sam.
14:28It's cool.
14:29Happy to hang.
14:30I, I mean, if, if you want to.
14:33That'd be cool with your aunts?
14:35Oh, they'll just be happy I have someone to be with besides them.
14:39That made me sound like a loser.
14:41I want to.
14:42What?
14:43Hang with you.
14:44Cool.
14:45Cool.
14:47Cool.
14:48I feel the opposite of cool right now.
14:51At least it's cute.
14:52And I don't do country, because of the whole lack of Wi-Fi thing.
14:57Do you think they do that intentionally?
14:59Except people can't relax.
15:00I think most people find disconnecting the most relaxing part.
15:03Mm-hmm.
15:03Mm-hmm.
15:08What am I doing back here?
15:11I know, I know.
15:14You're to pay my respects to Sue.
15:16Mm-hmm.
15:17God, she was incredible.
15:20You know how she taught me how to play pool?
15:22Mm-hmm.
15:23How to make a margarita?
15:25Key as Quantro.
15:27Drove me to my first bikini wax.
15:29Wow.
15:30Wish I had a mom like that.
15:31Yeah, same.
15:33I just disappeared on her.
15:36You were a kid.
15:37And Sam treated you awful at the end.
15:40She would have understood.
15:41Yeah.
15:44I'm a 20-year-old grown-ass woman.
15:47I have one of the only remaining jobs in journalism.
15:50I have a Q department.
15:51I have hot men to hook up with.
15:54And suddenly, I'm back here, and I'm 18 again.
15:58Mm-hmm.
15:58With all the neuroses and regrets that that entails.
16:02I mean, that's why I don't go back to my hometown.
16:04I'm basically the Tracy Flick of Arizona.
16:07I would have liked to have known you then.
16:09It was literally just this, with braces.
16:11Oh.
16:12Mm-hmm.
16:13Are you afraid that we might bump into Charlie and Sam?
16:16Oh, definitely.
16:18This place is not just charming, it's tiny.
16:20Look, I know that a lot of things happened here that weren't good, but it's kind of why we're here,
16:26right?
16:27Yeah, but not like this.
16:30Like what?
16:31I just, I want it to be perfect.
16:34I want me to be perfect.
16:35That is a lot of pressure to put on yourself.
16:37I just, I, you know, once we get to the hotel, I can change and put some makeup on, fix
16:46my hair, you know, put my armor on.
16:48I get that.
16:49I, I have to wear a blazer when I'm in a deposition facing the enemy.
16:53I don't want Sam to be my enemy.
16:57I know he might see me that way.
16:59I don't even know why Charlie invited me.
17:02I figured he hated me.
17:04I know that this is scary.
17:07Yeah, it is.
17:10Adulting is no joke.
17:14But I know I have to face them.
17:17Face Sam.
17:19And I know that you have a Zoom, so you go.
17:22I'm gonna go take a walk by the lake and clear my head.
17:25You know, the lake makes everything better.
17:28Okay.
17:29I will call you when the room's ready, yeah?
17:31Okay.
17:44Remember they said I was born wild, I think I live on the outside.
17:48Never been fixed to this low high yet.
17:53I'm always walking a thin line, running away from the low tide.
17:59I know I'm better high why I can't.
18:03Don't look down now.
18:08Don't look down here.
18:14Doesn't work if you open your eyes.
18:16How'd you know?
18:19Mother's intuition.
18:21And as much as I try to do this, I feel stupid.
18:26But with two rowdy boys, I need all the zen I can get.
18:32I think I need it to calm all the thoughts I have in my brain.
18:36Oh, sweet pea.
18:39Never feel like you need to stop that.
18:41It's what makes you, you.
18:47And you are amazing.
18:54You ready?
18:56No peeking.
18:58You ready?
18:59I'm running out of the bar so I'll give me your bitch and give me a dime.
19:05Remember they said I was born wild, I think I live on the outside.
19:09Never been fixed with a slow high yet.
20:01See you.
20:04It's a lot.
20:14So what's it short for? Samuel? Samson? Samwise?
20:21Lord of the Rings. Nice, but it's just Sam. My mom says that names are stronger when they're short.
20:31What about you? Are your parents, like, really into Percy Jackson?
20:35Um, they're professors, so no. It's short for Persephone from Greek mythology. She's the goddess of the underworld.
20:43That sounds spooky.
20:45I guess my parents thought I was going to be all mysterious or something, so that didn't really work out.
20:51Seems pretty on brand to me.
20:55Is that like a friendship bracelet?
20:58Um, yeah. Except I made it for myself.
21:02That's cool.
21:04They're cooler when someone else gives you one, but I don't really...
21:08Is that what your dad was saying about needing a friend?
21:11You heard that.
21:12Parents are never as subtle as they think they are.
21:15Whatever. I had some girl drama this year.
21:18My dad says she's threatened by me, but, I mean, you should see her.
21:21Delilah isn't jealous of anyone.
21:23I mean, like, look at her.
21:27She looks mean.
21:29Isn't Delilah, like, the villain in the Bible?
21:31Like, she cuts off that one dude's hair?
21:34You mean Samson?
21:36Oh, shit.
21:37My mom says she's going to kill that evil bitch.
21:39Or, I mean, that's what she said to my dad when she didn't realize I was listening.
21:42Your mom for the win.
21:44I think she just feels bad because she's not around.
21:46This summer is the first sabbatical in a long time.
21:49She works a ton.
21:50Mine too.
21:53So what do people do up here, besides vacation?
21:57Well, uh, my mom owns the tavern down by the dock.
22:02Oh, that's cool. Free food.
22:04Pierogi any night of the week.
22:06I don't know what that is, but count me in.
22:09Only if you make me one of those friendship bracelets. Deal?
22:14Deal.
22:16And maybe I can show you some of my favorite films.
22:21So what should we start with?
22:23Well, at first I was thinking Scream.
22:25Sort of an ironic twist on the horror genre.
22:27Then I realized it's more enjoyable after you've seen Halloween 1, 2, and 4.
22:32Well, uh, how many are there?
22:34Ten.
22:46When you're on a holiday
22:50You can't find the words to say
22:54All the things have come to you
22:59And I wanna feel it through
23:03On and on and in the sun
23:07And it makes me feel so fine
23:11I can't control my brain
23:15We'll run away together
23:18We'll spend some time
23:22We'll run
23:25We'll never feel not anymore
23:33We'll run
23:34Got you
23:36Come on
23:43Let's run the doctorate the dishes
23:52End of summer, man. Time's perfect.
23:56Do you want a towel?
23:58Nah, I'm good.
24:02I don't think I've been in the water in like a month.
24:04Dude, it's right in front of you.
24:05Yeah, well, I haven't exactly had a ton of free time
24:08since I've been here taking care of Mom while you were...
24:10At work?
24:12I know you can take like a six-month break or whatever from your residency,
24:16but that's not how a hedge fund works.
24:17I didn't have a choice.
24:18I told you we could have just hired someone to take care of her.
24:22I would have paid for it.
24:23Let's see, I'm a doctor and her son,
24:25so I figured that person should have been me.
24:27I came when I could.
24:29Where the hell is the cereal?
24:30It's in the cabinet under the island.
24:31It goes above the fridge.
24:32Well, it actually doesn't since it's under the island where I put it.
24:36You know, maybe if you would have been around more,
24:38you could have decided where the cereal went.
24:41Where are you going?
24:42To jump in a lake.
24:46Let's go.
24:48Let's go.
25:24Oh, shit.
25:40Thank you. Come again.
25:44Oh, I'm so sorry.
25:47Percy?
25:49Delilah!
25:50My God, it was so good to see you.
25:52Hi, yeah, totally.
25:53Wait, what are you doing here?
25:54What am I doing here? What are you doing here?
25:56I have a house here.
25:58My husband and I, we spend the summers here.
26:00You're married?
26:01Yeah, Witten and I, we met in college.
26:02It was, like, love at first sight.
26:03But he just works a lot, so he just comes on the weekends.
26:06That's great.
26:08We bought the big house on The Point, like, five years ago.
26:10Oh, wow.
26:11Oh, well, you know, I mean, just how special this place is.
26:16Yeah, it's...
26:17Are you here visiting with your kids?
26:20Uh, no, no, no.
26:22Uh, no, I'm happily single in Seattle.
26:25Oh, that's exciting.
26:26Mm-hmm.
26:27Witten and I, actually, we just moved out to Medina.
26:30Sounds very suburban.
26:32So you're visiting a friend with kids?
26:34No, no.
26:35These are actually for me, packed in a hurry,
26:38and I kind of forgot the essentials, so...
26:42Wait, are you...
26:44You're here for Sue?
26:46Yeah, I am.
26:47Oh.
26:48Well, that's, uh, it's really sweet of you.
26:52Charlie and Sam have had just a...
26:54It's been a rough year, so...
26:57Do they know you're here?
26:59No.
27:00No, I, um, they will now.
27:07You came.
27:09I came.
27:13I'm so sorry to hear about your mom.
27:16She was a really, really amazing woman.
27:19Thanks.
27:20I figured you would just be coming for the memorial.
27:23Yeah, me too.
27:25But then I just...
27:27I wanted to be here.
27:29I get that.
27:30So, Charlie invited you?
27:32When did that happen?
27:34I called her.
27:35She should be here for my mom.
27:37I wanted to be.
27:39She meant so much to me.
27:41Must be weird being back.
27:43It's been, like, years, right?
27:46Ten years.
27:49Have you been able to find a place to stay?
27:51The summers are really busy, so if you can't, I'm...
27:53I can help you.
27:54I'm very connected.
27:56Oh, no, I'm all good.
27:57Thank you, though.
27:58Oh, Percy.
27:59There you are.
27:59Um, I just got off the phone at the hotel.
28:01The rooms are finally ready, so...
28:02Yay.
28:02Oh, good.
28:03Yeah.
28:04Uh, but if you're with your friends...
28:06No, no, that's okay.
28:08Chantal, this is Charlie.
28:11Sam's brother.
28:13Yeah.
28:13You heard about me.
28:14Mm-hmm.
28:18And I'm Delilah.
28:19Hi, nice to meet you.
28:20Yeah.
28:21I'm Percy's friend from growing up.
28:23Oh, uh, nice.
28:25You didn't...
28:25You don't know about me?
28:27It was a long time ago, Delilah.
28:28We were just kids.
28:29Yeah, okay, well, I actually really need Wi-Fi for museums.
28:32Yeah, sorry, she has work, so...
28:34Yeah, I always have work.
28:34It's kind of my thing.
28:35Yeah.
28:36Well, maybe we can catch up later when you get settled in.
28:38Maybe.
28:39Yeah.
28:40Yeah, and I can text you the details for the memorial.
28:42Oh, okay.
28:43Actually, I think I still have your numbers.
28:44Oh, okay.
28:46Uh, that would be great.
28:47Thanks.
28:47Okay, yeah, bye.
28:50Whatever you do, do not turn around, because they are watching.
28:53That's so awkward and weird.
28:55Why are they acting like...
28:56Like they're fucking?
28:57But no!
28:58She's married to some guy named Whit.
29:00You can be married and still do that.
29:03Why did you invite her?
29:05Because my mom asked me to.
29:08Your mom?
29:09Mm-hmm.
29:10I have a hard time believing she would want to bring this drama back into both of your lives.
29:15I...
29:15Does Sam know?
29:21God.
29:22This is going to wreck him.
29:25Trust me, I'm already regretting this decision.
29:30Oh...
29:32No...
29:33No...
29:33No...
29:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:36Are...
29:37Are you...
29:38Are you...
29:38You lied to me.
29:39Yeah.
29:41You...
29:41You said...
29:42You said that this was a hotel.
29:44And this...
29:44This is...
29:45This is a motel.
29:46Did I?
29:47Yeah, we did.
29:49Well, if it's any consolation, they just renovated it.
29:53It's not. Yeah.
29:55I'm definitely getting bed bugs.
30:00Jordy. Hey.
30:02Oh, my God. Do you know everyone in this town?
30:05Hey.
30:05Hey.
30:08It's Percy.
30:10Brazier.
30:12We used to hang out.
30:14Right.
30:16I'm sorry. Where do I know you from? Was it college?
30:18No, here.
30:19Oh, you grew up here.
30:20Well, summers.
30:22We used to hang out with Sam.
30:25Right.
30:27Right. Great to see you.
30:29Same.
30:30Same.
30:32So how can I help you guys?
30:33Well, we're standing in the lobby of a motel, so...
30:37Well, I hope you're not looking for a room,
30:38because this is a no-vacancy kind of week.
30:41Yeah, I booked in advance. Two rooms under Thompson.
30:44Oh.
30:45Yep. Right here.
30:46But I only have you booked for one room.
30:49I've booked two.
30:50Yeah, maybe that's the other guy that works at this desk.
30:52He gave you the wrong information.
30:54Yeah, I'm gonna encourage you to build a website
30:57so that stuff like this doesn't happen again.
31:00So do you want the room?
31:01I want two rooms.
31:03This room has two beds.
31:07Mm-hmm.
31:08Mm-hmm.
31:09It's fine.
31:14It's room 106.
31:22Nice seeing you.
31:35Delilah.
31:36No, that Geordi guy, he totally, totally remembered you.
31:39That was some cold shit.
31:42Pulling a me.
31:43Respect.
31:44Yeah, he's Sam's best friend.
31:46Or he was.
31:47I don't even know if they're still in touch.
31:49Well, these small town people, they hold big time grudges.
31:52One that screwed me, because I was really looking forward to my own room.
31:56Sorry.
31:57I don't snore.
31:59At least I don't think I do.
32:00I don't exactly spend most or any nights curled up with someone who would tell me.
32:05Well, I do, and it's exhausting.
32:07Drew's snoring?
32:09Apparently mine.
32:10No, Drew doesn't snore.
32:12Even his breathing is perfect.
32:15He wants to, like, talk about our days and our feelings and the wedding.
32:19What a monster.
32:20Some days I just want to, like, sit by myself and watch that giant British guy on his farm.
32:25You need downtime, that's normal.
32:27Is it?
32:28Is it normal to, like, resent your partner for wanting to spend time with you?
32:33It's honestly been so long for me, I wouldn't know.
32:37I can't believe we have to stay here.
32:40Isn't there somewhere nicer?
32:41Yes, there is.
32:42The house I spent my summers in, my home.
32:45Now some other family lives there, and that family probably waves to Delilah when they see her in town.
32:49The house she bought, it's so beautiful.
32:51She doesn't deserve this place.
32:52Right?
32:54You wouldn't even know about it if it wasn't for me.
32:57You know what?
32:59We need to get out of here.
33:00Go for, like, a run or something.
33:02I thought you had a Zoom.
33:04Yeah, it's just with the floor, so I can cancel it.
33:06Maybe I should just stay here and never leave in case he decides to short sheet her bed.
33:12Yeah, no, um, you're coming?
33:14I don't want to.
33:15Okay, well, I don't want to stay in a place that doesn't have turndown service, so I guess we're even.
33:18Okay, fine.
33:19Hmm.
33:20I guess I'll just have to decide whether to sweat in my only nice pair of underwear or switch to
33:25off-brand princess big-girl pants.
33:27Your clothing selection for this trip is really strange.
33:29I panicked, Pat. Can you slow down?
33:31Hmm, I did not agree to an old lady mall walk. Keep moving.
33:34I hate running. I always have.
33:39Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
33:50Oh, God.
33:52Oh.
33:52Oh, my God.
33:53Oh, God.
33:56Oh, God.
34:00Oh, God.
34:02Oh, God.
34:23Oh, my God.
34:48Oh, my God.
35:21I got you.
35:22I got you.
35:30You okay?
35:36This is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
35:39Coming back?
35:40Yeah.
35:48I spent years running from what I did.
35:55I thought I had moved on.
36:00And that I was here to say goodbye for good.
36:05But it's clear to me now, coming back here, I can't run from it.
36:12Or even swim from it.
36:17You were such a strong swimmer back then.
36:21It's because I had Sam by my side.
36:25And I ruined everything.
36:32Does he hate me?
36:44Hey, bud.
36:45How you doing?
36:47Okay, I guess.
36:49Yeah, I just want to be here for you, man.
36:51Could I help you with anything?
36:53Uh, yeah.
36:54Actually, yeah.
36:54We're going to set up some of these tables.
36:56Everyone's going to come back here after the memorial.
36:57So, thank you.
37:00Not it.
37:02So, like, do you know who's coming for the memorial?
37:07Yeah, yeah.
37:08We, uh, we reached out to my aunt and uncles.
37:10And I think a few cousins are coming in.
37:12Cool.
37:12So, just, like, family or old friends?
37:16Yeah, my mom's life was this town.
37:18So, yeah, not too many outsiders.
37:20That makes sense.
37:21But, you know, I'm sure there might be, like, a few outsiders.
37:30You know, I have been thinking about Percy.
37:33Maybe it's just because I've been going through old photos.
37:35But also, and don't think I'm crazy here.
37:37But, dude, I could have sworn I saw her.
37:43Yeah, that's absolutely nuts, right?
37:44She's at the motel.
37:48What?
37:51She's here.
37:52How?
37:53You're not going to be happy.
37:56You invited Percy?
37:58I'm going to have to hug her back.
37:59What the fuck, man?
38:01No, that wasn't your decision to make.
38:03Jesus Christ, Sam.
38:05You're like I don't fuck you up for that.
38:07Yeah, like you could.
38:08Could you be more childish?
38:09Could you be more selfish?
38:11She loved mom, too.
38:12She would have wanted her to be here.
38:14Well, fuck you.
38:16What the fuck do you know about what mom would have wanted?
38:37I can't believe you did that without talking to me.
38:44Am I going to make it, Doc?
38:47I'd say it's 50-50.
38:48That's a pretty big splinter.
38:50Is it going to hurt?
38:51Yeah.
38:53You're going to make it more painful than it used to be?
38:56Maybe, yeah.
38:59Seems only fair, I guess.
39:05I didn't tell you because I didn't know if she'd come.
39:10Got it.
39:12Yeah, well.
39:13But she didn't.
39:20When Percy left, I went off the rails.
39:24I know.
39:26Or, I mean, mom told me.
39:30That year was rough, man.
39:35But then I got back on track, and, you know, my life now was, I mean, things are stable.
39:41I like that.
39:43You've done good, little brother.
39:44Yeah.
39:47I just don't know what it's going to be like to see her again.
39:53Percy wasn't just my girlfriend.
39:54She was, she was my best friend.
40:05She was family.
40:08These are delicious.
40:10I can't believe how many you can eat in one sitting.
40:13Sam, be polite.
40:15Sorry.
40:16Don't be.
40:17I want to break the world record for pro-gating.
40:19You know what?
40:19One day this week, I'll make you some sweet ones.
40:21I think rhubarb is in season soon.
40:24Yes.
40:25Okay, you know what?
40:26I got to get to the restaurant.
40:27Are you guys going to be okay?
40:28Yep.
40:29We're going to watch Halloween Pen.
40:30It's the last one in the series.
40:32You have made my son a much braver boy.
40:34Persephone Fraser.
40:36Whatever.
40:36It's not like I was scared of anything before.
40:38He was always afraid of horror movies before you.
40:40He just doesn't want to admit it.
40:43Oh, um, Percy, can you help Sam with the dishes?
40:47Otherwise, I'm going to come home to Krusty Plates.
40:49And Sam, walk Percy home after the movie, okay?
40:54Have fun.
40:58Are you done?
41:00I'm so full.
41:05Your mom is so cool.
41:07She doesn't even look like a mom.
41:09That's just because she's so young.
41:11How old is she anyways?
41:12Like 35.
41:14Still kind of old.
41:16Just not as old as my parents.
41:19So, where's your dad?
41:22Does he, like, live somewhere else, or...?
41:24No, he's dead.
41:27I've never met anyone with a dead dad before.
41:29Well, I guess now you have.
41:34Sometimes things just come out of my mouth.
41:36That was really weird and awkward and rude.
41:41I'm sorry about your dad.
41:43Thanks.
41:44And I'm sorry for bringing him up.
41:45I didn't know.
41:46No, I'm glad.
41:48No one ever really talks about him anymore.
41:51Why?
41:52I don't know.
41:53No, I mean, like's my mom's dad.
41:59Charlie, well, he's just Charlie.
42:03I'm starting to forget about him, you know?
42:06I don't really know.
42:08It was a heart attack.
42:11One day, he was there, throwing me off the talk into the lake,
42:16hollering at me to clean the tech,
42:18teaching me to play poker.
42:19And the next, he was gone.
42:24And I miss him.
42:27If you want to talk about him with me, you can whenever.
42:30Thanks.
42:35Finished it.
42:36Did you like it?
42:43I'm never taking this off.
42:46Me either.
43:08We knew that magic is ain't, ain't far from life.
43:24When we have animals, we will, we'll start to try.
43:37You'll be the shepherd as we, your head don't see our life.
43:49Fell into the fold and now we, we feel too deep.
44:01Oh, love is one when we bow and stay fear-free.
44:16A piezoa planted on the forest floor has grown tall by now forever.
44:25He's asleep, it is a tiny jewel.
44:29In the tiger mouth I'm walking on the road.
44:35Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
44:51ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
44:51ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
44:51ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
44:53ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
44:54ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
45:04I don't know.
45:32Sam.
46:06I'm so sorry.
46:07It's okay.
46:08I'm so sorry.
46:08It's okay, Percy.
46:09It's okay.
46:12Oh, God, I should be comforting you.
46:14Yeah, you are.
46:14You are.
46:16My being here.
46:20Then let me help.
46:23What are you doing?
46:24The dishes.
46:25You were always shit at them.
46:27Drew.
46:29I'll try.
46:54Delilah?
46:56Is Sam here?
46:59Nope.
46:59He's at the tavern.
47:02Does he know?
47:06When are you gonna tell him?
47:07I don't know.
47:08He's gonna be really upset.
47:10Or he'll be happy knowing the tavern is getting sold to me.
47:13Just give me some time.
47:15Sam's been through a lot.
47:23You know you're a great big brother.
47:30I've been watching you for some time.
47:37Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes.
47:42Burning cities and napalm skies.
47:50Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes.
47:56Your ocean eyes don't fall.
48:05You really know how to make me cry when you give me those ocean eyes.
48:12I'm scared.
48:17Sam?
48:19Honey?
48:20You in here?
48:24Oh.
48:25There you are.
48:27Taylor.
48:29Hey.
48:30Hi.
48:32How are you?
48:32How was your drive?
48:37Hey, hold on.
48:39Okay.
48:39Yes.
48:41I don't know.
48:47Percy, this is my girlfriend, Taylor.
48:54Hi.
48:55Hey.
48:56It's really nice to meet you.
48:57Same.
49:18I was so anxious to see him again.
49:22I really thought that he just had to get through that.
49:28It's been a long time, Percy.
49:30A lot's happened.
49:32So how are you holding up?
49:36I think it's really great that you came back here, but you have missed, like, a lot.
49:43Why would she go back there after everything they put her through?
49:47Have you found out what I did?
49:49You have to stop punishing yourself.
49:52Percy being here, it's bad for me.
49:56When I'm with her, I don't think at all.
50:00Seeing you guys together felt like a scene out of the past.
50:03Percy and I were over a long time ago.
50:05I'm with Taylor now.
50:07I never know where I stand with you.
50:09You want me and then you don't.
50:11It's confusing and hurtful.
50:18If Sam knew why you left, Sam can never ever know.
50:24You might only have one chance.
50:26Happiness.
50:28Come on, you got this!
50:32Love.
50:33But what if you don't?
50:39Sam, there's something I have to tell you.
50:43All I have is yours.
51:30I'm going to get some money.
51:30I can't get some money on my own reason.
51:30You are not the only one.
51:31I'm going to get some money on my own list.
51:31You can get some money on my own.
51:32It makes me happy.
51:32I can't find any money.
51:32I can't get some money.
51:34It's okay.
