Well, when was the last

time you were relaxed?

Well, I'm barely alive.

There must be something

relaxed about that.

Lucinda.

What?

Is there any way

i can help you?

This might make you smile.

I, uh-- I found this upstairs.

Um-- there is--

yeah, right here,

this-- this part right here.

My eyes

aren't too good.

Will you read it?

Oh, yeah, of course.

"Mommy made us lunch, and Shane

said, where's the bathroom?

Oh, never mind.

It was just gas."

When did

she write that?

Oh, she was probably five.

Mm.

She said she was

trying to get pregnant.

She told you that?

Parenthood brings out

the best in people.

And the worst.

She took

so much with her.

I'm sorry.

Lucinda?

Lucinda?

Lucin-- Lucinda!

Are you ok?

Lucinda!

Can you hear me?

Lucinda.

It's gonna be ok, ok?

I'm gonna get you

to the hospital.

All right?

Oh!

Stay away from the hospital!

Stay!

Stay away!

-Ok, ok.

Stay!

Away from the hospital!

Ok.

Listen, are you hurt?

Are you hurt?

Are you hurt?

Let's get you on the bed.

Lucinda.

Oh, Ann!

What?

Ann!

She left.

Ann left.

Ann, god.

Oh, god, please!

Oh!

Oh, god!

Lucinda.

Oh!

Oh!

Ok.

Oh!

Ok.

Oh, god.

Ok, I'm-- no.

What are you--

what are you doing?

Please!

Don't leave me!

Please don't leave me!

Oh, please don't leave me!

Please don't leave me.

Oh, please.

Oh!

Ann hello?

Ann?

Ann, i-- I need your help.

Ok.

She's-- she's hysterical.

Um,

there's a bottle

of valium on top of the shelf

right next to or in a vase.

Give her one and

she'll calm down.

Did you find it?

Yeah.

Yeah, I've got it.

I'll be right over.

Try to get some sleep.

Ok.

Ann!

Come back!

Oh!

Traveling so f***ing long.

We're gonna have

to cut the pant leg.

Ok.

What happened?

I was shot at.

Sh*t.

It's open season.

I am so sorry.

Careful, please.

All right.

It's just a bad scrape.

I see why she hated this place.

I'm exhausted.

How you feeling?

You'll be ok.

It'll look bad

for a couple days.

But you'll be fine.

Think you can hobble over and

have some tea with Lucinda?

What, now?

She's worried about you.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

Yes?

Ann said you wanted to see me.

You should always be careful

when running in the country.

Well, I'm not gonna be

running again anytime soon.

Here.

Sit down.

No, no.

I'm gonna rest upstairs.

Please.

-No, honestly, I'm fine.

Just hand me

the pillow, please.

Give me the pillow.

There you go.

How does it feel?

It-- it really hurts.

It's throbbing.

Ann said I got

you up last night.

Yeah.

Are you ok?

I feel-- strange.

I'm sorry I disturbed you.

As long as you're ok.

What are you planning

to do with her ashes?

Lucinda, please.
