Run the Tide Page #3

Synopsis: Rey gave up his chance at college and love to raise his young half-brother Oliver, who looks nothing like him - "same mom, different dads." But when his meth addicted mother, Lola, is released from prison determined to rebuild her family, Rey kidnaps his younger brother and escapes their desert home for the California coast, chasing the dream that he let go years ago. Lola turns to her ex-husband Bo to help find her missing boys, bringing up ghosts from their own failed relationship. With nothing but the open road ahead of them, and Lola and Bo in close pursuit, Rey and Oliver race away from a past they never wanted, towards a future that could have been.

Oliver?

Oliver?

Oliver!

Oliver?

He showed up at

3:
00 in the morning

mumbling that you'd

left him for good.

This isn't right, Rey!

He's still a kid!

I know.

I know, okay?

Listen, it's...

Look, look, look.

I've been thinking

about you a lot,

all right?

And what you

said to me

the other day.

I can't even

imagine what all this

has done to you.

It wasn't right.

It still isn't.

It's just... I mean,

she's supposedly

turned things around.

I'm sorry.

I guess everyone

deserves a second chance.

Well,

what about me?

Huh? I never even had

a first chance.

I gotta support

my wife.

My hands are tied.

Hi. This is Michelle Turner

at beat street sf.

I'm not at my desk

at the moment.

Please leave a message

and I'll call you back.

Hey.

Hey, I've uh...

I've thought about

what you said.

I'm gonna go for it.

I'm gonna do it.

Anyways...

Give me a call back.

I gotta go.

Bye.

So,

mom said she wants

some time alone?

Yup.

So she can get

ready for us.

"For us"?

Yeah. We're all

gonna be together again.

Really?

Like a real family?

Oliver, we are

a real family.

So where are we

driving to?

It says "Santa Cruz."

Exactly.

You know i

don't like the beach.

How would you know?

Neither of us

has ever been.

I'm scared of the water,

you know that.

Okay, well, you're

gonna get there

and you're gonna

get in the water

and you're gonna love it.

All right?

Trust me.

Yeah.

Well, I'm not

getting in the water, so...

Okay, fine.

Don't get in the water.

But doesn't it

look amazing?

Yeah.

Well... does mom

know where we're going?

Yes.

When are we

coming back?

I don't know, okay?

Soon.

We'll... we'll figure

it out.

Just sit back, relax

and enjoy the

goddamn vacation.

Yeah, well, I have

a goddamn science test

Thursday.

Hey, don't be a dick.

All right?

It's gonna be fun,

all right?

All right?

Okay?

Mmm-hmm.

All right.

You know, officially,

this is a kidnapping.

2,000 route

through the 50?

Rey!

Yeah, I heard it.

Oh.

What's that?

Why are we

taking this road?

What do you mean?

It's longer.

Hey.

You rat dropping!

Why'd you do that?

I can't see.

Is that mom?

Can I talk to her?

Uh, no it's not mom.

Well, is it Bo?

No.

Rey, it's Bo.

Where the hell are you,

man? Call me.

Give me that.

Here you go.

Big day tomorrow.

Yeah?

To the beach.

Can we go to las Vegas?

Las Vegas? Why?

What do you think,

dude?

See strippers.

See strippers?

Why not?

'Cause you are

far too young

for that.

Didn't know

there was an age limit.

Well, there is.

Rey!

Oh, Rey.

Oh, jeez.

And Oliver hightower

steps up to the plate.

Bases loaded.

Full count.

Two outs.

Bottom of the ninth.
