Shut them very tightly.

And do not open them

till I tell you.

Now, stand up.

Stand up!

Do not open your eyes.

Leave me now! You must go!

You must go

or you will die here.

Do you understand? Now, go!

And do not look back,

no matter what you hear!

Don't worry for me, my son.

I will always watch over you.

So what did he do?

He took a secret tunnel

and found the pipeline

that would lead

outside his village.

And when he climbed up

out of that pipe,

he was free.

So he made it?

Unfortunately, no.

He didn't.

Something stopped him.

He just couldn't do it.

He couldn't leave those

who meant the most to him.

So he went back.

And the Strifers captured him.

Oh, he fought like a wildcat.

He made the Strifers earn it.

But in the end,

he was still a boy,

and these were the strongest

creatures in the galaxy.

They beat him mercilessly,

until he finally passed out.

What? Why did you stop?

I got places to go,

people to see.

But I'll look in on you

while your parents are out.

But what about the story?

Hey, slow down, kiddo.

It's just a fairy tale,

remember?

It's way better. Really?

Well, then maybe

I'll come back tomorrow.

That sound good?

Yeah.

Grandpa? Yeah?

I hit that boy the other day.

I hit him first.

I heard.

You did?

Kids fight.

He made of fun of me.

Oh. Well, then he deserved it.

He said I was gonna be

one of those divorce kids.

He's right.

I know.

Thing is, he's my best friend.

Was.

Well, I'll tell you something.

Kids make fun of things

that they're afraid of,

what they don't understand.

Adults do, too.

I guess.

Come on, let's take this inside.

I haven't eaten

this much watermelon

since my prostate was your age.

Your what? Never mind.

My father's going to watch

Gabriel while we're at work.

Your father?

Yes, my father. Someone's

got to get through to him.

I talked to Gabriel.

Yeah, I know how

you talk to him.

Oh, stop. Susan,

I talk to the kid, okay?

My father has a way.

He's a good man.

He's a hard-ass. Excuse me?

You know what I'm talking about!

Whenever he speaks his mind,

he has no internal censor!

Since when did telling the

truth become such a bad thing?

I'm going to my room.

Yeah, walk out,

like you always do!

Can I come in?

Yeah.

Hey, kiddo.

We haven't really

talked very much

about what your dad and I

are asking of you.

I know it must seem like we

dropped a ton of bricks on you,

but it's really important

that you know why.

Whatever problems your dad and

I are having are between us.

They have nothing

to do with you.

We both had an equal part in

bringing you into this world,

and we both love you very much.

Does that make sense?

I guess.
