I guess I just wanted you to come with me.

Just so we can spend some... some quality time

together.

And talk... after all these years.

- I'm really tired, I want to go to bed.

- Of course, I'm tired too.

Good night.

Forgive me, Jen.

- Forgive me!

- What does he do?

Oh my God!

- Who are you?

- Samantha, I know you, you have to leave this town.

They're going to kill you!

Run! Go!

Baby!

Thank you, thank you Mr. Lopez. Alright. Bye-bye.

It's a shame you weren't here but Mayor Lopez

made this town what it is today.

- How does Lucas deal with such sadness everyday?

- Well, he's amazing.

I've working here for over 20 years

and he's a real hero.

He's always been a good boy.

Did you know my mother?

Yes, your mom. She was wonderful.

- How did you know her?

- Well, she came here rather often.

And sometimes we'd have lunch and we would chat.

- You didn't mention that.

- Well, I didn't think it was necessary.

- You didn't think it was necessary?

- Look dear, your mother had big problems.

Her mother and father were gone, her sister lived

so far away, her brother couldn't help her.

Wait, her brother?

My mother didn't have a brother.

- Yes, dear, Thomas was her younger brother.

- Thomas?

- Oh, where is he now?

- Well, I've heard that he's in a rest home somewhere.

- Okay.

Listen honey, he didn't attend your mom's funeral.

He had mental problems.

She would visit him almost everyday.

Even on the day she died.

- What do you know about the day my mother died?

- well, that was a long time ago, dear.

I remember she phoned here that day.

She sounded upset.

She didn't feel well and she insisted Lucas stop by.

I told her that I would tell him...

Huh... sometimes bad things happen

to good people, I suppose.

Ladies... am I interrupting something?

Oh... er... I was just leaving to get ready

for the meeting.

- Sam, you're all right?

- Lucas, I'll prepare the files for the meeting and they'll be on your desk first thing...

That's fine, just go, Harriet,

I'll talk to you later.

She's not been herself lately.

She's old and we have you.

- And she's afraid of losing her job.

- I'm not going to take Harriet's job.

I don't even know how long I'll be staying here.

Hey, have you spoken with Mr. Lopez about the flower arrangement?

Why didn't you ever mention that

I had an uncle?

Because there's nothing to tell. Look, I didn't even know that that was really your mom's brother.

It... It... your mother used to take in strays.

She had a big heart.

- Just forget it.

- Forget it?

Honestly, your mother didn't like talking about him.

She had you and your dad to take care of.

It's a lot.

Lucas, I asked you to be honest with me.
