This Is Martin Bonner Page #2

Synopsis: Martin Bonner has just moved to Nevada from the East Coast, leaving behind his two adult children and a life he spent more than two decades building. He's there working a new job as the volunteer coordinator for a non-profit organization that helps prisoners make the transition from incarceration to freedom. It's Martin's first job in two years and he's recently declared bankruptcy. At the same time, Travis Holloway, a prisoner in the program, is being released after serving twelve years. Sent back into the world with nothing, Travis also finds life in Reno difficult to adjust to, despite the help from his program sponsor, Steve Helms. The stories of Martin and Travis slowly converge, as the two men meet and find that they have much in common, not the least of which is an unspoken need for encouragement and support. Their unlikely friendship blossoms but is put to the test when Travis betrays Martin's trust in order to reunite with his estranged daughter.

He'll be out like a light.

[ Chuckles ]

I will not.

And we don't have any whiskey in the house, thank you.

Shame on you, girl.

You know.

It worked for you when you were a baby.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey, how was your day?

What'd you do?

What did I do?

Um, I unpacked,

and I went and bought some household

stuff and made myself some dinner.

So you're keeping busy?

Oh, yeah.

Lots to do.

Lots to do.

What about work?

Work? Still in training,

and, um, yeah,

you know, you'd think I was joining the C.I.A.

for the wringer they put you through.

Oh.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, we miss you back here.

Ryan and I didn't do Sunday brunch

this week for the first time.

I don't know. We just forgot.

You were the one who always reminded everyone.

Oh.

Well, I'll see if I can get some vacation

time in a couple of months, all right?

And I'll come and visit.

Okay. Hey,

do you wanna say hi to Andy?

No, you two can put that holy terror to bed.

All right?

I'll call in a couple days.

[ Chuckles ]

Okay.

I love you, Dad.

Love you too, pumpkin.

- Bye.

- Okay, bye.

[ Line Ringing ]

[ Man ]

Hey, this is Ryan. Leave a message.

[ Beeps ]

Hey, Ryan, it's your father.

I just talked to your sister,

and she said that you are as elusive

with her as you are with me.

All right, so why don't you take her

out for lunch or something, all right?

Or go and visit the baby, okay?

And if you're busy painting, paint me

something really big for my wall here.

I look like a darn college student.

All right.

Call me if you've got some free time, okay?

Otherwise I'll call you in a couple days.

All right?

Love you, Son.
