Did he really?

Imagine that.

Oh, f***...

And yet you never once

remembered his birthday.

Okay, the fact that

I'm a super-flawed individual.

- Is already on the table.

- How hard was that, Tim?

For a self-medicating a**hole

like me, it was hard, yeah.

Look, are you mad

at me right now?

Jiggle the handle

on the bathroom if you go,

it gets stuck.

- Are you a retard?

- What?

My mom says you should be

in a special school.

A trooper stopped his van

outside Harrisburg.

Take a moment, huh?

Think back to that day.

- Come on.

- You see if he looks familiar.

No...

No.

Where's he from?

Upstate New York.

He's got a farm

outside of Longville.

We found a hard drive

in the back of his van.

There were images,

young boys, children...

Okay, you know,

this has nothing to do with us.

It very well may not.

I wanna see

this f***ing guy right now!

You know that's not possible.

Yeah?

Sarah, are you sure you don't

want to take a closer look?

Oh, forget it.

Okay...

I'll keep you updated.

- Who are we listening to?

- Burzum.

- You buy this for yourself?

- It's my older brother's.

Does he know

you're listening to it?

He's in Afghanistan.

Listen, Alma...

You're a smart person,

but you don't turn in

your homework.

So I'm going

to have to fail you.

Or you could just get motivated.

Yeah...

Just do you best, okay?

Okay.

Oh!

Jesus!

Is that supposed to feel good?

- Is that the idea?

- No.

It hurts.

You feel so,

like, unreal, you know?

Like...

"Twilight Zone,"

just removed from reality.

Everybody's moving at different

speeds from everybody else.

Like you're moving in slow

motion, and the world is...

zipping around you...

Hi!

Welcome.

There is a place that you get to

that's beyond all of that,

You move through to a place

of peace and acceptance.

And it's not just for you,

but for the person

that you lost, too.

And if you can just stay focused

on the positive,

every day find a way to

touch the positive in your life,

and eventually your journey

will lead you there.

- Eventually?

- Yeah.

It takes, I don't know,

as long as it takes.

- You know?

- Yep.

Anybody else want to share?

Jenna?

When you first lose that person,

you think you're not gonna be...

able to go back to normal,

you know,

and you don't,

but it changes and...

You know...

I really related

to what you said about...

Our next door neighbors growing

up had a kid with Asperger's.

You gave her your birthday,

or a date in history,

when Lincoln was shot,

she'd tell you exactly

what day of the week it was.

Not Adam Heywood.

Nope, just elephants.

He wears

the same shirt every day.

- Does he have parents?

- Foster parents.
