talk about him, you know.

You know, when Mark and I

first got married...

we would come out here and make plans.

- About what?

- Future.

I used to do that.

Not anymore?

No.

After I was fired from my last job,

I just kind of...

learned to keep an eye on the present.

Made things simpler.

When Mark got worse,

it was like mood swings

and depression and...

I know this sounds awful, but...

after he was buried,

I felt a sense of relief.

Like I was...

ready to be on my own.

God, that doesn't sound awful.

That sounds totally natural.

I thought you said you quit.

Yeah. Um...

Actually, I was forced to quit.

Hmm.

Uh, I was doing work I was

really uncomfortable with, and...

Well, my boss and I,

we had just a really...

a difference of opinion.

And so I left...

and followed a new dream.

And here we are.

Give me one.

- Sick.

- Give me another one.

We shouldn't.

- Shouldn't?

- Yeah.

There's somebody there.

Shut up! They're asleep.

Either do it or f***ing don't,

but we can't just stand here.

Watch thi...

You hear that?

What?

No, I just... thought I heard

someone scream outside.

Are you sure it was from outside?

Yeah. Why?

Recently we, uh...

It's nothing.

Are you sure?

You're very sweet.

Oh. I think by "sweet," you mean "ruggedly

handsome and a little bit dangerous."

I definitely mean "sweet."

Hmm.

- I hate to ask...

- Hmm. I know.

- The kids are...

- No. Hey. Hey. It's...

It's okay.

I totally understand.

- It's been a tough week for us.

- Seriously. It's okay.

I'll, uh...

I'll call you tomorrow.

Hello?

Mom!

Mom!

What? You okay?

It must have gone away.

Haley. Let's go.

Hey. Calm down.

Be right back.

Did it hurt you?

Mom.

We're leaving.

Is everything going to be okay?

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

Come here. Your arms.

Oh, my God.

- Mom, that hurts.

- Just a little bit more, okay?

Don't look at it, baby.

Don't look at it.

Come on. Jacob.

Let's go.

Jacob. Come on. Hey, honey. I want you

to take your sister and wait right outside.

- Okay. Come on.

- Right outside.

Hey. Hey. Hi. Sorry.

No. Can we just come

stay with you for a little bit?

No, I can't explain right now.

No, I just...

Okay. We'll be there in 20.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Jake!

Jake, what happened?

Talk to me. Haley, bring me the phone.

Baby, please. Mommy needs you.

Go grab the phone.

You'll be okay, honey. Okay.

Help!

Is Jacob going to be okay?

He's gonna be fine, sweetie.

Haley!

Haley. Come here, baby girl.

I'm here.

Help!

It's okay, baby.

911. What's your emergency?

My children. Something's wrong!

Ma'am, I need you to stay calm.

- Mom.

- What happened to your children?

I'm okay.

- Mom!
