Disturbia

- You think he sees us?

- No, he can't see us.

But trust me, he can feel us watching.

Pop? Oh, that's a big one, Pop.

That's a big one here.

Okay.

He showed up.

Ten-two. Come on, kid, you can do it.

He's circling that little alcove

right there.

This is all you, Kale. That's it.

Try to put it right in front of him.

Right in front of him.

See, you're talking to me,

and you're messing me up, Dad.

Okay. Don't spook him.

- Come on. There.

- There we go.

Oh, that was perfect.

Oh, he's taking it.

Look, he's following it.

Easy. Easy.

Dead drift. Dead drift.

- Oh, you gotta be kidding.

- Easy. Easy. Come on, baby, take it.

- Take it, baby.

- Bite, bite, bite!

- He bit, he bit!

- Okay, easy.

- That's it. Tip up. Tip up.

- Okay, okay.

Do I let go? Do I let the line go?

No, don't panic. Just let him take it.

If he wants to take it, let him take it.

- Tip up. That's it.

- He got it. He's biting.

I know. No, he's got it, baby. Come on.

Okay, reel him in slow. Nice and slow.

Hold him.

All right. All right.

- You gotta be kidding me.

- That's all right.

It's okay. You did everything you could.

- This is ridiculous.

- Yeah, no, it's fine.

You did everything you could.

Sometimes they just get away.

Come on, let's take a break.

Come on, it's all right.

If I can't catch a fish,

I don't know what I'm doing out here.

- Beats working, right?

- What?

Hold that. I said, it beats working.

You're a writer. You work from home.

You ain't got it that tough, come on.

- Here you go. You got it?

- Yeah.

You know what?

I really appreciate you bailing

on your friends

to spend some time with your old man.

It's not like you forced me

to be here, Pop.

- No, I know, but I appreciate it.

- I appreciate it.

Anything you want to talk about?

Anything...

- What? What?

- No, it's just...

- Is this that moment? This is that...

- Never mind.

- No, no, this is that father-son...

- No, never...

- No, I'm in.

- Forget I said it.

I got something. Here's something.

You got a keen eye for this.

- You're not gonna tell Mom?

- No, I won't say anything.

No? All right. I'm having a kid.

Yeah. You know,

your little boy's growing up.

I got a girl pregnant,

and now I gotta go visit her.

She lives in Reno.

I don't know how I'm gonna get there.

I'll probably have to take Mom's car.

But we're gonna live together.

We're gonna move into a trailer park.

Yeah, her name's Shirley.

She's real great.

- Yeah? She cute?

- Of course.

Yeah. Good. That's all that counts.

Smart-ass. Let's fish.

I'm gonna catch one before you.

Yeah, but I don't mess with you

while you're fishing. That's the deal.

No, Ma, we drained the entire...

Literally every fish that was swimming

in the river is now in the trunk right now.

- You're kidding.

- No, I'm not kidding.

Yeah, are you sure you two aren't

stopping off and buying a fish,

like you did last time?

What?

Are we gonna stop off and buy fish,

like the last time?

No, no. Ma, come on.

We know you're too savvy for that.

Oh, come on, look at this guy.

Oh, come on! Jackass!

- Hey.

- No, no, no. No, not you, Mom.

- I'm sorry.

- Give me the phone.

Hey, babe,

you should have seen him today.

We got enough fish for a week.

- How long do you think you'll be?

- I don't know. About an hour?

Forty-five...

Kale!

Kale!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Kale, are you okay?

Dad.

Kale!

Dad?

Move it!

Yeah, keep dreaming, perv.

Ronnie!

Seor Brecht?

Kale.

So, Kale,

think you can stay conscious

long enough to tell us

your plans for the three wondrous

summer months ahead?

Do you want me to stand up?

Summer months.

I don't know what you just said.

I didn't read that far in the book.

Did you do the homework or not?

I guess not.

You guess not?

I don't know who you think you are,

or who you think you're dealing with.

You can't give me

a straight answer, fine.

Give me one good reason

why I shouldn't fail you

right now.

What would your father think?

No, Kale! No, no, no!

Okay, Mr. Brecht.

You're six months shy of 18.

That means the Assault Two charge

you've pled guilty to carries a maximum

of one year in juvie.

With these priors, you're up to three.

Losing a parent isn't easy,

which is why I'm sentencing you

to three months house arrest.

Mr. Brecht, I just cut you a break.

Don't test me.

Okay, you're all set to go nowhere.

Now, green means you're good,

you're in the safe zone,

which covers about

a 100-foot radius from this guy.

You unplug it,

the police come immediately.

He's like a modem.

He gets a constant GPS signal

from Mr. Bracelet

that goes through your phone line

to the monitoring systems downtown.

So they know where you are,

where you've been

and what you're thinking, 25/7.

- What if he accidentally goes beyond...

- Red light flashes.

You got 10 seconds

to get your butt back to green, or else.

Or else what?

The execution squad shows up?

And they don't bring blindfolds.

It's tamper-proof and waterproof.

So don't try to stick your foot in a bucket

of water and hop across the line.

It won't work, and you'll look stupid.

Now, here's the instructions.

Here's my card.

Thank you.

Are you all set up to pay

the incarceration fee, Mrs. Brecht?

- No.

- $12. Every day.

I accept all major credit cards.

Great.

My wallet's right over here.

Officer.

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Brecht.

- Thank you, really.
