easier than being so scared.

Did you ever think that?

She's gonna kill me, you know.

No one's gonna kill you, Michael.

Nothing's gonna happen to you.

Your sister won't let it.

My sister can't stop her.

No one can stop her.

Kyle?

-I can't believe you came.

-That makes two of us.

So....

-What do the doctors say?

That he's a kid, he's Just afraid

of the dark, he's confused.

Growing up here will do that to you.

Listen....

I hate to ask you this, but...

what really happened to you?

Cat, it's--

-Because it seems like it's the same--

-No.

-But the things he says--

-They're Just things.

But these....

-Kyle?

-Did Michael Just lose a tooth?

Yes, his last one.

But....

Come on, Kyle. You don't

still believe that, do you?

I mean, we all grew up with it,

but it was Just a story to scare us.

I'm sorry, Caitlin.

This was a mistake.

Look, will you Just--?

Wait a minute, please.

I don't think l know how

to help Michael.

Hey, Catey.

Kyle?

Larry.

You came. That's terrific.

It's great to see you, buddy.

All right.

I came straight from work.

So is there any reason

for us to panic, or what?

No, no.

Good. Good.

Well, that's what l keep telling Catey.

We have some of the best doctors

in the state in this hospital.

How about l take you two guys

What do you say? We can

celebrate the prodigal's return.

I think l'm Just gonna

stay here with Michael.

Okay. Yeah.

Well, good night, honey.

Caitlin?

I'm sorry.

Well, Kyle, what do you feel like doing?

I feel like l've been here

too long already.

-Wait. We could go to The lnn, right?

-I don't drink.

Come on, Kyle. I haven't

seen you in 1 2 years, man.

One drink's not gonna

kill anybody, right?

Where's Kyle?

He left.

Is he coming back?

I don't know.

-Walsh, what's going on, man?

-Relax, buddy.

You'll survive one drink, right?

Beer okay?

-Can't.

-Oh, Jesus.

-That's right, Ray.

That's him in the flesh.

Thank you, Dave.

Where you going, man? Sit down.

I bought you a beer.

I figured you'd like this one.

It's a light.

You should have told me

you were coming back.

-I didn't know you'd still be here.

-You left a lot of sh*t behind.

-What's wrong?

-That's the freak who killed his mother.

So come on, man.

What you been doing with yourself?

-I'm in the gaming industry.

-Larry Fleishman, attorney at law.

in the history of stealing.

That's why l'm a defense attorney.
