They were Tanaka knives.

Yeah, whatever.

Sure, we've been needing to cut

through an old tire for a while now,

so we should've gotten them.

I assure you there are numerous

practical purposes for Tanaka knives.

Tragedy on a playground.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

A five-year-old somerset boy is dead

tonight after falling off a play set

and breaking his neck.

- Police are calling this an accident.

- I was over there yesterday.

Hanging upside-down

before he slipped. What?

Yeah, that's near the subdivision you

guys are showing over off Cordova.

Uh, pick up for Jack Zeller.

Yeah, um, "Z," Zell...

One second, sir.

Okay.

Jack Zeller's here.

Yeah, okay.

Mr. Zeller...

It's on my desk.

Uh, we've had

a bit of an issue here.

Uh, an issue?

All your film was saved. Had

a little bit of a fire.

Okay, uh, thank you

for the heads-up.

Yeah, uh, also, um...

All your photos

came out black-and-white.

Black-and-white.

I-I don't really

understand it either.

But because you're a valued customer

and because we've had these issues,

there's not gonna be

any charge for this.

Only four rolls were developed,

and those rolls

are black-and-white?

And we will call you

when the rest are ready.

So if you need anything

else, just come by.

Thanks.

A five-year-old boy is dead tonight

after falling off a play set

and breaking his neck.

Oh, what the f***?

Hey!

Hey, you need

to get out of here!

You should not be here!

Jack, whatever you're

doing there, hurry up.

Uh, sorry.

I'll be right there.

What are you doing up here?

Scared me.

Sorry.

I just wanted to check something.

It's nothing.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

Come back to bed, huh?

Okay.

Yeah, I'll be right down. Okay.

Hey, um, don't forget.

We're meeting Shannon and

Juliet at the pool tomorrow.

The pool.

Yeah.

Okay.

Can we be ready in ten minutes?

Uh... sure.

People usually come

to the pool to relax.

Mmm. Yeah, sorry.

I'm just a bit

out of it... today.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Just didn't sleep well.

Want some Valium?

I'll pass on the Valium,

thank you.

Helps me when I'm dealing

with the old battle-ax.

I can hear you.

- Hey.

Did you hear what I said?

I just got off the phone

with Shannon.

Apparently a kid drowned

after we left.

That's just awful.

Hey.

Hey, pal.

How you doing?

Hey.

Came right over.

You drinkin'?

You don't look too hot.

I wanna show you something.

Tell me what you see.

Oh, j-Jesus, Jack.

Do you see that? Yeah, I

don't wanna see this, man.

This... this is...

It's from over there, huh?

Sorry.

I just, uh...

I wanted to make sure

I wasn't... going nuts.

I mean, I know you just

picked up the camera again.
