and you looked at me.

You looked at me, and you walked away,

and I never heard from you again,

I never saw you again.

I was 11 years old, Tom.

Okay. Well, um... you're out now.

You're here.

Do me a favor.

Crack the window, will you?

There's no smoking in my office, okay?

Ever.

I started, uh, burning

my fingertips in prison.

I don't know why I do it.

It's clean in here, very chic,

like a... a hotel.

Safe, nice...

No distractions.

Hmm, no distractions.

Now, is that why

you tried to get yourself

back into prison last night?

Yeah. Yeah, and I jumped

in the river to cool down.

You still taking the Temazepam?

Yep, 20 milligrams.

Where you living?

Some shithole.

You got a job?

The marina.

Anybody at home?

Nope.

What about your mom?

Dead.

I'm sorry.

They let me visit her in the

hospital with the cuffs on.

You know what killed my mother?

Those f***ing handcuffs.

And my father wasn't even

f***ing there when she went.

And, uh, he's in Norwich now,

in some narcissistic

coma he calls a bar.

He used to visit me at Windsor,

acted like I was at

some fancy prep school,

but when they take you to prison...

Well, you turn 18,

you know your life is over.

Look, I want you to know that I had

no idea that you went to prison then.

Don't lie, Dr. Seymour.

I'm not lying.

It's the truth.

That's bullshit!

Danny, it's not bullshit.

Listen...

F***ing sorry.

That's great.

That gets me my f***ing

life back, doesn't it?

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it, and you know that.

Come on, do you really believe that?

The forensic evidence was overwhelming.

Time's up.

You know...

You could open your eyes

when we're doing it.

Oh, jeez, I'm sorry, honey.

The book is work.

This is supposed to be the fun part.

No, I... I know.

You're right. I just...

You should have come down.

I know. I know.

I know it's a good time for us to try...

No. No, because it was fun.

Because New York is fun.

New London is cloudy.

Hey, wait.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hang on there.

Hang on there.

Wait a second.

Maybe I just get a little jealous

seeing you with all these

young artist types, huh?

Oh-ho.

Thomas Seymour jealous.

That, I like.

Oh.

You all right?

Um, my mind's just racing.

It's okay.

Go back to sleep.

Oh.

It's lopsided...

Well, yeah, now that

I'm talking about it.

Hey, honey, you moving out

on me one painting at a time?

She's got a show.

We ran into each other

at Pete's, by the river.

It's Ian, Tom.

You remember?

Yeah, o-of course, of course.

How are you, Ian?

How you doing?

Good.

We've been talking,

and he's thinking

of applying to schools.

I said that we could call around.

Sure. Sure, that... that sounds great.
