The Good Son: Behind the Scenes of The Good Son Page #2

---

Whoa!

- Hey, you ever read Skeleton Man?

- Who?

He's this really cool superhero

you can't kill cuz he's already dead.

- Don't you ever read comic books?

- No, those things warp your mind.

Hey!

Nice knowin' ya!

Come on!

No!

Henry, come on! Let's go.

I love that dog.

- Isn't that your mom?

- Yeah. She's always out there.

- Why?

- She's goes up there to think about Richard.

Kinda weird, huh?

Come on. I wanna show you

my new invention.

Come on.

- Where are we going?

- To my shed.

Awesome! What does it do?

It took me three months

to make it. Beautiful, huh?

You pull the cable back to here,

and you load over there.

Grab a bolt. Go ahead. Lock and load.

Now we...

...line up the kitty cat.

Don't hit her! Just give her a scare.

Sure.

What a great shot!

Yeah. But the sight's not right yet.

You know, this is a nice change.

Most of my patients,

all they wanna do is talk.

Well, I just don't have anything else to say.

Your dad thinks you do.

- He wants me to talk about my mom.

- Sometimes it helps.

I can handle it.

- You can?

- I have to.

Why?

Because when you make a promise...

...when something's your fault...

What did you do?

I let someone die.

Mom?

Mom?

Mark?

Honey...

...what's the matter?

It is you.

You came back.

I knew you'd come back.

Oh, sweetheart. I'm right here.

OK, I'm right here.

It's OK.

Shh, it's OK.

It's all right.

I'm right here. I'm right here.

I know you miss her.

It's OK. It's gonna be OK.

It's OK.

It's OK.

OK. All right, you got a piece. Now.

- It's got blue on it.

- So it has to be the sky.

Right. And it's got a straight edge.

So it has to go here.

Hey, you got it. All right!

- Mark.

- Yeah?

- Do you like living in our house?

- Sure.

We're gonna look after you real good,

so you won't be sad.

Mark, 0900 hours. Let's move out.

- Not you.

- Why not? He's my friend, too.

I'll play with you later.

I don't care about your stupid secrets!

I got my own secrets.

I'm not gonna tell you a single one!

Status.

System armed and ready.

- Try to hit that sign.

- Negative.

Try to hit that light.

Negative.

Targeting.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

Oh, my God.

I was only trying to scare him.

Hey, Mark. Where's your sense of humour?

Mark?

- I'm sorry.

- It doesn't matter. They always fall down.

Isn't she beautiful?

Did you like her?

Yeah. Everybody did.

She was a wonderful person.

And she loved you very much, Mark.

The last time I saw her...

she said she'd always be with me.

It's true.

Your mother's alive in you.

She'll always be part of you.

And you.

Yeah.

Is that Richard?

Yeah.

- I bet you miss him.

- Yeah, I sure do.
