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.
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
- Does he have parents?
- Foster parents.
