Hey, Matt.

Milady.

How was school?

Good.

Ready?

Set.

[WHISTLING]

Come on, come on, come on..

Yes.

[CAWING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Just come on,

come on, come on..

[WHIRRING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

No!

Agh!

Okay.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Oh, sh*t! Oh, sh*t!

Guys, I am so, so sorry.

- How was swim practice?

- Good.

You know, I thought

we'd maybe switch it up tonight.

Maybe make something

for dinner, huh?

How's that sound?

- Can I help?

- Sure you can. Yeah.

[BIRDS CHATTERING]

[CHIMES RINGING]

That's not how Mom does it.

Okay. Well, then,

what's next?

Too much.

Hey, Matt, can you grab some

sodas from the garage, please?

I want a Doctor Pepper.

Did you hear that?

Then I looked back, and she was

still half the pool away.

What?

That's amazing.

My coach says

I might be part mermaid.

You never know. You could start

growing a tail or something.

Matt, I already apologized,

I don't know what else

you want me to say.

How about apologizing

for why you were late?

Becca, why don't you

give us a second?

You can finish your dinner

in front of the TV if you want.

Okay.

How can you go back to working

on that thing?

This is important to me, Matt.

I'm not just doing this

for me, Matt, okay?

Everyone's gonna want this

technology, okay.

This could really

change things for us.

It did change things. Okay?

- Mom and Dad are dead.

- It was an accident.

They wouldn't have been driving

if you didn't leave

to work on that machine.

Are you saying you,

you preferred

if I died, is that it?

No! You wouldn't have!

Okay, they died

because the truck

crashed right in front

of them.

If... if they'd left earlier,

or later, they'd have been fine.

- You can't know that, Matt!

- Yes, I can!

There's no possible way

you could have left

the exact same time

gone the exact same way,

and... and at the exact speed.

It's impossible. If you'd

stayed, we'd all be here.

- You don't know that.

- Yes, I do.

Alright, bath time, Bec.

Just wash up and then bed.

I'll meet you in your room to

tell you a story or something.

You mean your room.

Well, you can't sleep

on my floor forever, you know.

Tonight, I can though, right?

Yeah.

Okay, tonight you can.

[CLOCK TICKING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Aw, jeez.

Hey, Marie.

I saw your light

and I thought

you and the kids might want

a little home cooking.

[CREAKING]

[CLOCK TICKING]

[CREAKING]

- Anytime.

- Ethan!

Okay. That's my cue.

Um, I gotta go.

- Goodnight.

- Thank you for this.

Goodnight.

What happened?

You okay?

Quit spying on me, Matt!

Are you spying on her?

Oh yeah, I was spying on her.
