[Jake] Uh, yeah, [babbles]

All right, look, this is

what l want you to do--

l want you to take

the boat back today.

l won't say another word

about it, okay?

Today, l'll take it back today.

Thanks, Jake.

You gonna marry

my daughter, Chief?

l like her, Jake.

What happened

to Mom's shell collection?

l... put everything

in the basement afterthe funeral.

l mean, you--

a little while later, you know.

Beth,

l am sorry-- l'm sorry

that l couldn't help you more.

Listen to me, please.

l knew you were hurting.

l couldn't even help myself.

Beth,

l guess l just-- l guess l just don't

want to lose you again, all right?

[sighs]

l know.

[growling and barking]

[female] So, the gorilla looks

at Lady Di and says,

''Richard, are you

on your way to lntec yet?''

[whimpers]

[buzzing]

Hm.

Since when?

[buzzing]

[growling]

[dog howls]

[moaning]

[gasps]

Oh, God, Richard.

Who could have done that?

lt's okay, you'll be all right.

[sighs] Yeah, Richard.

Mayor, l just dropped by to see

if Elizabeth's all right.

Uh, she's all right.

What the hell do you think happened?

[sighs] l don't know.

l already talked to Simpson

about going out there.

He used to hunt mountain lions.

Mountain--why,

you think it's an animal?

l hope so.

- Dad?

- Uh, good night, Richard.

Elizabeth, hi.

Hi.

Well, Richard,

l would hold off on Simpson.

lt's lntec's land,

they'll probably want

to take care

of it themselves, yes?

Seems to me,

this is everybody's problem.

Yeah, l'll call 'em

first thing in the morning.

-Wanna get some fresh air?

- Mm-hm.

You know, the whole time

l was growing up,

all l could think about

was moving to the city.

Then when l moved to the city,

all l could think about

was coming back here.

Why didn't you?

So, why is your old hideout

all fenced off?

lntec's building condos up there.

Yourfather made a deal with them

to develop the island.

North Port, the new yuppie heaven.

Well, Elias is just trying to give

people a reason to stay here.

[Elias] No, don't try

to stall me on this.

No, l don't know

for certain what it was.

But l'm sure we both understand

the implications, huh?

l worked on this newspaper.

l wrote about traffic accidents

and smog levels.

Mark, my editor, always says

that the only people

who truly like L.A.

have never lived anywhere else.

You quit?

lt's, um, open-ended.

Mark's a friend.

Better go.

Richard, l'm sorry.

l never knew why you left, Beth.

l left because...

because l'd always been

treated like l was 17 here.

And... l left because l needed

to feel separate from the island.

And l needed... to feel separate

from my dad.

Separate from me?

No, Richard, not from you.
