Run the Tide Page #4

Synopsis: Rey gave up his chance at college and love to raise his young half-brother Oliver, who looks nothing like him - "same mom, different dads." But when his meth addicted mother, Lola, is released from prison determined to rebuild her family, Rey kidnaps his younger brother and escapes their desert home for the California coast, chasing the dream that he let go years ago. Lola turns to her ex-husband Bo to help find her missing boys, bringing up ghosts from their own failed relationship. With nothing but the open road ahead of them, and Lola and Bo in close pursuit, Rey and Oliver race away from a past they never wanted, towards a future that could have been.

You a**hole!

Strike three!

Batter's out.

You know I hate

inside pitches.

Pitchers are gonna

throw the ball inside,

okay?

Especially if they know

you don't like it.

Come on,

don't back down.

Step up!

What do I always say?

Protect the plate.

Huh?

Come on.

No, listen to me.

What do you do

if somebody tries

to take something from you?

Or they try and

push you around.

Huh?

What do you do?

Protect the plate.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't hear you.

Protect the

goddamn plate!

Thank you!

Son of a b*tch!

That's it!

You stood strong,

you protected the plate.

You weren't afraid.

You okay?

Shut your hole

and pitch.

All right.

You sure?

Pitch, b*tch!

Let's go, punk.

Whoo!

Take that!

Really glad that

we're all gonna be

a family again.

I don't know,

maybe we should

call the police.

No.

No police.

Rey's been pulling

these pictures out of

my magazines for years.

He likes fishing?

Yeah, which is funny,

'cause he's never been.

I mean, he's never

so much as picked up a rod.

But he sure likes

dreaming about it.

But they're

just dreams.

When he was small...

We used to imagine

we'd go there together.

I used to make

the sound of the ocean

just to help him

fall asleep.

That's where

they're headed.

What?

They're going to

Santa Cruz.

How do you know?

Look.

They could be anywhere...

I know my son.

Guess I'd probably

buy a plane ticket.

Go to Malaysia.

Where's that?

It's in Asia.

Why don't you

pick up the phone?

Because I don't want to.

But why?

What if he's calling

about mom?

He's not calling

about mom.

Trust me.

He hates mom.

Why do you guys

hate her so much?

Oliver?

Oliver!

Oliver!

Hey.

What are you doing

out here?

I miss mom.

I miss Bo.

Is that my phone?

What did you do?

Did you call her?

I don't know

your password.

It's 0-5-2-2.

It's 0-5-2-2.

Go ahead.

Call him if

you want to.

I can call them?

Yeah, of course

you can.

But what sucks is

that you don't trust me.

I do trust you.

Really?

Well, then why

did you come

all the way out here

in the middle of

the night

and steal my phone

to try and call them?

Hmm?

I don't know what

you're waiting for.

Call them.

See what they

have to say.

It's clear you think

I'm some sort

of liar.

I know you're

not a liar.

After we get

to the beach,

go back.

And you'll

talk to her.

But we'll talk to her

together.

As a family.

Okay?

Promise me.

Please.

Okay.

Okay.

Stop it.

Be civilized.

Chew, swallow,

then talk.

Are you serious?

That's disgusting.

At least it's not

coming out the other end.

Yeah.

Oh, my god, dude!

Oh, my god!

You... oh, you suck!

Come on!

Oh, god!

Sh*t.

What's wrong with it?
