He's a wonderful man.

And he wants to care for us.

Can't you just...

... give him a chance?

I'm trying.

I'm really trying hard!

There's just something

about him.

- Well, what is it?

- I don't know! I just...

I hope you're not still upset...

... over this school business.

We were just talking about that.

Everything will look clearer

in the morning, uh?

We'll work it out.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night, Mom.

Sweet dreams, Steph.

G' night, Jerry.

Wilbur, will you turn the page

for me?

Turn it yourself. You've

got a tongue.

No, I'd better not.

I tried it yesterday and swallow

the comic section.

OK, I'll be quiet as a

church mouse.

I used to love this show

when I was a kid.

It wasn't till I got in high school

I realized horses couldn't talk.

- I bet you were cute back then.

- Yeah...

I'd like to see a picture of you.

You would, wouldn't you?

You never talk about your past.

I didn't even exist until

I met you.

Past is important.

Don't try to touch the past.

It isn't real.

It's just a dream.

The only reality is...

... this moment.

You and me.

Here and now.

What are we doing here?

This is the house where Henry

Morrison murdered his family.

Do you think I don't remember

that?

I was here that night.

I never wanna see anything

like that again.

Yeah, I know. A friend of mine

sent me your article.

I was in Europe at that time.

It took 9 months for me to get it.

Cops did never really catch

the guy.

File's inactive. I think it

should be reopened.

Yeah, well... Talk to the cops.

I'm just a reporter.

Well, I talked to the cops.

They can give a sh*t.

Listen to me a minute, alright?

Three weeks before Morrison

killed them...

... he quit his job, didn't

tell anybody.

Got up every morning, pretending

he'd go to work,

and came home at the

same time every night.

So how far could he go every day...

... and still get back at the same

time every night? Look at this.

It has to be...

... somewhere within this radius.

See, what I think...

... is that during that time he was

setting himself up a new life,

somewhere close by.

- What do you want from me?

- Just this:

do a follow up story, right?

You run a picture of Morrison.

Your paper circulates in this area.

Someone might recognize him and if

they do, Brennan, you're a hero.

Why are you chasing this?

Vicky Morrison's maden name

was Ogilvie.

She was my sister.

Oh... Jesus!

I'm sorry, Ogilvie, uh?

Ok, I'll do what I can, right?

OK.

This place is mine now.

You wanna go inside?

F*** no!

I'll take him.

Everybody! Everybody!

Jerry is gonna make a speech!

asked you here.

'Cause when I first started with
