Good Morning, Nogales!

Hi, Daddy, it's me! I wanted

to tell you happy birthday.

I love you so much. Bye!

Hey!

Hi.

You coming in?

Um, yeah, I'll be in

in a minute.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay. So, you know

you're late, right? Mr. uh...

I'm actually not.

Oh, really? Oh, okay.

Yeah, as a matter of fact,

you are.

Oh, I am. Oh, okay, well,

are you gonna fire me?

Um, not if you get in there

right now and sign in.

Okay.

Oh, hey, happy birthday.

How did you know it's my

birthday?

I saw it on the company

calendar.

Ahh. That's good.

I'm impressed you read it.

Yeah.

I'll see you inside.

Okay.

All right.

Hi, Daddy, it's me! I wanted

to tell you happy birthday.

I love you so much. Bye.

Stop! Ssh!

Mr. Conrad, please wait in here.

Dr. Michaels will see you in a moment.

Stop! Just stop!

You okay?

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Hi.

Hey.

Thomas Conrad, right?

Right.

Dr, Robert Michaels,

nice to meet you.

You're the doctor?

Yeah, it's part of the job.

He just stopped taking his medication.

All right, all right,

you've got to be a seal.

I'm right, right?

Because I definitely know one

when I see one.

We're here for you,

not for me.

Um, hey, doc, your collar here,

you got a little blood.

Oh, yeah, look at that.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, that's not gonna come out.

So, I read your preliminary files

and the paperwork that you filled out.

So why don't you tell me, Thomas, in a word,

why don't you tell me how you're feeling.

In a word.

Yeah. Simple as that.

All right, I feel lost.

Explain to me why.

Because I feel like

I knew who I was.

But ever since I've been back,

I don't know who I am any more.

How you doing with the

headaches?

Like lightning I can't control.

And what about the dreams?

Fantastic.

This is a safe place. We're not

gonna make any progress...

...unless you're perfectly honest with me.

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna want to see you

five times a week, you understand?

And you must be on time,

without fail. This is paramount.

There's a lot of soldiers out

there who need my help.

Civilian life can be very difficult

to adjust to, so show respect.

Civilian life? You mean like

normal life, right, doc?

Like the white picket fence

and lemonade stands?

For some, yes.

Do I look normal to you?

Actually, you do, Thomas.

Well, I guess we won't make any

progress if you're not honest, right, doc?

How are you doing with the pills?

I'm not taking them any more.

That's what rehab was for, right?

Well, yes it is.

Just remember addiction is a demon

that you have to fight off every day.

I got it. I'm not

taking them any more.

All right, good.

Thomas, your service is admirable,

What you did over there, it means something.

You're gonna have to find

acceptance.

What I did.

What did I do?

You tell me.

How's your relationship

with your wife and daughter?

Is it Selina and Chloe?

Yeah.

How's that?

Um, I'm working on it.

Well, that's promising.

Is it?

And how long have you been

separated?

It's been six months.

How do you dealing with that?

Selina, it's me again.

Listen to me,

I need you to really call me

back, all right? Please.

Hey, Selina, it's me,

why aren't you calling me back?

I just really need to talk to you.

I am a mess that needs repair.

How do you plan on fixing it?

Well, I thought that was your job.

Along with your health,

hopefully yes.

Let's just say

I want to rewind everything.

I want to go back to the way it

used to be before it all...

...I want my life back.

That's it.

I don't care if that sounds

clich or...

Not at all, Nothing is even the

slightest out of bounds here.

Okay? You can tell me anything.

There's no judgment.

Remember that.

Hey, it's me.

I need to talk to you.

Sh*t!

Oh, god.

Hey, I apologize about that.

I'm sorry, I was distracted on my phone.

I didn't see you, I just...

It's no problem.

Let me grab my insurance,

all right?

I'm Bill... Duffy.

Duffy?

Father was half-Irish.

Well, let me...

Hey, there's no damage,

but you owe me.

I owe you?

What do I owe you?

You owe me a drink.

Meet me at the Tinhorn.

Are you serious?

I'm very serious about my

alcohol.

Okay, Thank you.

We're here to identify your

moments.

The moments and the events that

led you here into this room.

Okay, what is that gonna do?

That's what we're gonna find

out.

And what if I'm scared to

remember some of my moments?

Uh, yeah, that's totally

understandable.

It is gonna be difficult,

but together we'll figure it out.

All right, let me ask you

another question.

Of course.

You remember your moments?

I do.

And what were they?

Let's stay focused.

I think hearing one

of your moments...

...might actually help me understand

what we're trying to get at here.

I remember the moment

I became a man.

It was when my father died.

He died of cancer.

After a long and distinguished

career in the service.

And when I was 18, my mother

gave me a letter that he had written.

It said to be strong,

to take care of my mother.

And that he hoped that I would

someday be a dad.

That he could be proud of.

And I am.

Thank you.

Good evening.

How are you doing?

Okay.

I'm looking for Bill.

Who?

Bill? He says he's friends

with the owner.

Oh, Bill, yeah, yeah.

Of course.

He's not here, he'll be back,

but you can have a drink if you

want and sit.

Um, you know what, I'll just
