- Oh.

I didn't know

how to even go about it.

I mean, what do you say

about a thing like that?

But, you know, you had

every right to an apology,

for wanting that apology...

Actually, I didn't come here

looking for an apology.

But thank you, though,

for saying that I deserved one.

Um... I guess I was

just hoping to hear

your account of what happened.

I read everything in the papers,

and the lawyers talked to me,

but everything

happened pretty fast.

And, uh, yeah, I would

just love to hear from you,

in your words,

in the interests of...

closure.

Oh, okay, I don't know

what else I could tell you

that you didn't already read,

but, um...

uh...

I drank and drove.

I was driving too fast

and not paying attention,

and a German Shepherd

bounded out into the street

chasing God only knows what,

and, um...

I made a big mistake.

I panicked and swerved,

and instead of hitting

the dog, I hit...

something else,

as you know.

Yeah, that's pretty much

what I remember.

Okay.

The German shepherd,

I guess that's why the...

the angle of impact

was so extreme.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

[man] Was it the Axels'

German shepherd?

- Sorry?

- The Axels' German shepherd?

From the corner at Radcliffe.

They have the garden gnomes

on the lawn.

Oh, yes, yeah.

Yeah, that's the only big dog

that I can remember.

Sorry, I'm not

trying to be hostile.

No, I'm not either,

and if it's any comfort to you,

I'm... I'm pretty sure

that old dog

would be a pile of dust now

in some landfill

or maybe in their backyard.

- The Axels?

- Yeah, in the Axels' backyard.

[chuckles softly]

[sighs] I should go.

I should've given you more time.

No, you've waited long enough.

That's fine.

And thanks for breakfast.

Thank you for forgiving me.

I'll see you guys later.

Bye, Mark.

- See you around.

- I hope so.

How did Mark's mother die?

She killed herself.

Maybe you could make a list

of all the other people

who died while I was away.

That would be helpful.

[water running in sink]

[birds chirping,

children shouting in distance]

[shower running]

...is about that tall,

you know?

No matter how many times

I pass by your house,

I see you outside there.

[laughter]

You grew.

[chuckles] Guilty.

"Guilty."

That's good.

Guilty as charged.

- [laughs]

- Yeah.

So what can we

help you with today?

Oh, uh, well,

I was just wondering, um...

you... you used to have

a German shepherd.

Jackson.

Jackson, that's right.

When did he die?

Why?

Okay, well, uh... not sure

if you're aware of this,

but Valerie Walker claimed

that a German shepherd

ran in front of her vehicle

right before she hit my Dad.

I was not aware, no.

Do you... you think Jackson
