But then, the rain clears

and the sun shines,

and the air smells

like jasmine and orange.

And you think that maybe...

maybe it's not so bad.

Maybe you're gonna stay and...

give it another go.

And then what you think

was a pile of trash gets up and...

starts pushing a cart full of cans.

Sleeping under a bridge.

The little girl with you at the motel...

is she your daughter?

Yeah.

- How old is she?

- She's eight.

Give this to her.

I think maybe she will like it

because it has the elephant on it.

She loves elephants.

Thank you.

I'm Kelly, by the way.

- Jacob.

- Jacob.

It was nice talking to you.

Okay.

- Hey.

- Hello. Um...

Can you hold onto this for me?

I have to go out.

I don't want to leave it in the room.

Okay.

Eks, I have a favor to ask.

You've got a car, nay?

Can I use it? Only for a few hours.

I can pay you.

Hell, that's more money than it's worth.

Hang on.

F***ed up Camry downstairs.

- New Mexico plates, can't miss it.

- Thank you.

You wanna come in?

This is Boot.

No, no, it's all right.

- I have to go. Chop, chop.

- Okay.

Oh, my God. Are you f***ing kidding me?

Get out of here. Get away.

Did Bianca leave anything else with you?

- Dude, back the f*** off my space.

- She had something they wanted.

I don't give a sh*t about your problems.

- Tell me!

- Get out of here!

Tell me everything

that happened with Alex!

Tell me the truth! The truth.

- Huh?

- Okay.

They argued all the time. Okay?

I heard them. They argued all the time.

- And one day, Alex was just gone.

- Where?

I don't f***ing know.

She said they had a big fight.

All his sh*t was still there.

I don't f***ing know, man.

He just left, all right?

She wasn't even f***ing mad.

She was just scared.

What happened after that?

She came to me one day

and gave me a f***ing bag

with all her sh*t in it,

and told me not to tell Zico.

I mean, I don't know, man.

She was f***ing freaked out

about something.

What do you want me to tell you?!

- Was Bianca getting her teeth fixed?

- What?

Her teeth.

Was she getting her teeth fixed?

Bianca wasn't getting sh*t f***ing fixed.

You're f***ing crazy, man.

I found Bianca at the morgue.

She'd been tortured.

They cut off her foot.

They blinded her.

Don't... Don't tell me that sh*t.

Don't f***ing come over to my house

and tell me that sh*t!

You don't think I cared for her?

I was the only person that cared for her!

Where the f*** were you?

This is Duke.

Hello?

Mr. Lawenda. I called.

- I have an 11:
30 appointment.

- Of course.

You haven't seen Dr. Wentworth before,

have you, Mr. Lawenda?

No, but I have seen his work.

If you could fill this out,

Dr. Wentworth will be with you
