that clings to the hope

that maybe,

just maybe one day you'll

pick up the phone

and Dwayne will be on the

other end, that maybe...

...they'll be a

knock at the door

and I'll come walking in, just

like I'd never been away at all.

Sometimes they declare a man

missing in action...

...to give hope when

really there is none.

Sometimes there's

just no greater cruelty.

I guess that's it.

He isn't saying anything more.

Please...

Tell me...

My son,

is he at peace?

No, I'm not, Ellie.

It's her. It's her

pain that holds me here.

Tell her she can love me,

she can always love me,

but it's time to let me go.

Come on, Ellie.

Tell her.

The answer's yes.

He is at peace.

No, that's not what I said!

Now he says it's time

for you to let go.

He says,

it's time for you,

for both of you,

to move on.

[ Door opening ]

Ow!

Oh my God! Are

you all right?

I cut my hand.

Let me take a look at it.

It doesn't look too bad. Still,

we better get it

I don't think we've met.

My name's Ellie.

I'm Jamie.

My dad and me just moved in.

Well, nice to meet you, Jamie.

What do you say we

go get that hand fixed?

Come on.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

My dad had to go buy some stuff,

so Mr. Valinsky said he'd take

care of me for a while.

Mr. Valinsky?

So where is he then?

He fell asleep watching TV.

I decided to skateboard.

Skateboarding's always fun.

In other news, meteorologists...

Let's see if we

can get that fixed.

OK...

All right...

You OK? Does that hurt?

Just hold that there.

If you can try to keep a

little pressure on it, OK?

So, where you from?

You guys new to this city?

Yeah.

Well, Boston is a great town.

You're going to love it.

Hey, neat!

Where did you get it?

Oh, I work at the Train Museum

over on Adams Street.

Hey, if you like, I could

show you around some time.

Cool!

All right, let's see.

There.

That ought to do the trick.

Tell you what.

Why don't we take you back

to Mr. Valinsky's apartment?

With any luck, he'll never even

know that you were gone.

I'll get your

skateboard. Come on.

...now searching for

Mr. Daniel Nicholson,

husband of Dr. Taylor

Nicholson,

whose body was

discovered two days ago.

The police have confirmed,

Daniel Nicholson

who has be

along with his

7 -year-old son James,

how now been identified

as a possible suspect

in connection to

his wife's murder.

At this point, police are

warning the public

that Mr. Nicholson is believed

to be armed and dangerous.

With the opening, you've been

working so hard.

You're just very tired.

Enjoy the time off.

It's times like this, Maggie,

I miss Brendan the most.

These past few days,

I can't even begin to tell
