She was very brave.

She still is.

I didn't mean it that way.

I'm Evelyn Strausser,

I'm with the orphanage on Spring Street,

and I just wanted to let you

know if you need anything,

we provide free counseling to

the families of fallen soldiers.

Thank you.

Do you play the piano?

I used to.

You should keep playing.

I'm not very good.

I wish I could play

the piano.

Why don't you?

I'm musically challenged.

Not if you put

your heart into it.

Then you should

continue to play.

Wait, you tricked me

into saying that.

Whatever it takes.

EVELYN:
Jesse?

That's my mom.

It's nice meeting you, Nathan.

Yeah.

You know what?

What?

I believe

anything is possible.

Me too.

Keep the faith, buddy.

NATHAN:
Mom!

This isn't funny.

Answer the question.

Okay, I... I love

that your father...

My favorite thing about your father is

that he loves to do his own laundry.

Well, that's all I've got.

That's it. Seriously, Mom.

GEORGE:
You see

how you treat me?

Yeah. That's all I get is,

"I like to do my own laundry"? Real?

of vets in the area

suffering from PTSD?

The number of vets

suffering from PTSD

is probably a lot larger

number than we really know.

Here we have

over 200 patients.

Even though these veterans have

integrated back into society,

it's really not uncommon

for them to relapse.

PTSD is a very hard thing

to understand.

A lot of people have no idea what

these vets have seen and been through.

And what we want to do is we

just want to raise awareness...

...and we need families and friends to know

that they need to be there for those vets.

(WHIRRING CONTINUES)

MAN:
IED! IED! Victor One is do.

Victor One is do.

Peters!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING

AND EXPLOSIONS)

(DOORBELL RINGS) REPORTER: Well,

thank you so much, Doctor,

I know it's really important

for this society to understand

DOCTOR:
Really, all we want to

do is make the public aware...

Can I help you?

Mr. Peters?

Yes?

Hi, I'm Mrs. Jones and this is Mr. Cruz.

MR. CRUZ:
We're with

Child Care Services.

According to our records, Nathan doesn't

have a father or a guardian listed.

He has me.

His birth certificate

doesn't list a father.

And there aren't

any adoption papers filed,

which makes Nathan the

responsibility of the state.

Please get out of my house.

MR. CRUZ:
Mr. Peters.

GEORGE:
Now!

MS. JONES:
Please, Mr. Peters.

Our concern

is Nathan's welfare.

It appears as if

the child is on his own.

Well, he's not, okay?

And you're not taking him away

to some institution.

With his mother missing in action we

have to make sure things are in order.

Everything is in order.

He is my son and that is that.

Mr. Peters, we're trying to protect you
