Look, I don't want any kind
of promotion from you, okay?

No, thank you.

So what's up? Are you gonna call her?

Oh, you didn't get the number?

Amateur.

Move!

Sorry.

- Who's that? - That's Sergeant Cruz.

She's dead and I still don't trust her.



Come to my place, alright?

'Deli department, pick
up line four, please.'

'Deli department, pick up line four.'

Ah-ha-ha.

Look at this crowd, ma. A bunch of losers.

Burnouts, drunks.

Same people I've been
pouring drinks for all night.

What's the difference?

Difference is there's no bar between them.

Maybe I can take care of myself.

Besides, I like it here at this hour.

There's no crowd, no line at the checkout



and they play good music.

It's my time to unwind.

More like rewind.

Need to buy bread.

Oh, look at you, hey!

That face!

He's adorable.

- 'Isn't he adorable?' - Yeah, adorable.

Enjoy him at this age.

They grow so fast..

Into this.

I will. Thank you.

Good luck.

'Attention, shoppers!'

'Bey Foods will be closing in 15 minutes.'

God knows if I'm ever
gonna see a grandchild.

Ah, here we go.

Why, ma?

So my future ex-wife can take him shopping

in the middle of the
night, what the hell is that?

Don't be judging.

She might be on her own.

You know, there was
many a night I had to take

you and your brother
out on nights like this.

You used to ride in a
basket, do you remember?

I remember hangin'
on the front for dear life.

Mikey always got the basket.

- Yeah, well, he was the baby. - Uh-huh.

'You wait until you have kids.'

Then you'll see what it's like.

You're not gonna believe the love you feel.

The things you do, you'll
do anything for your child...

Like, enable them?

You made me forget the Half and Half.

It's on the other side of the store.

I'll get it.

Make sure it's fat-free.

Half and Half? How is that possible?

It's an amazing time we live in, Maurice.

♪ Just hopin' you may
be somewhere a-walkin'

"Fat-free Half and Half."

Ain't that just milk?

'Fire!'

Ma!

Ma, where are you?

Go, go, go!

Ma! Ma!

Ma! Ma, where are you?

Ma!

- No! Don't, don't go back.
- Get out of here, go!

- Anybody behind me? - I don't know!

'Maurie!'

'Maurie!'

- Maurie! - Ma!

Come on.

Damn it!

Throw me those crates.

Another one.

Alright, everybody out, come on!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Help the person in front of you.

Just go!

Get down.

Where is the woman?

Where is the woman with the kid?
Where is the woman with the kid?

Stop, Maurie, no! No!

Come on, lady!

- Anybody... - Over here!

Please help us!

I got you. I got you.

My baby! Will it cover his face?

- Come on, let's go. I got him.
- Cover his face.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Lady, look at me, let's go.

You wanna make it, let's go. Get up.

It's alright. Go! Follow
me here! Follow me!

- Get him out of there, please.
- We're all gettin' out, lady.

Hey, guys, I got a baby!

- I got a baby! - Watch his head.

- Watch his head. - You got him?

- Bosco. - Alright.

- Get out. - One more! One more!

- I got one more, please. - Hey!

Come on, lady, where you goin'?

Come on.

Come on.

Maurice, baby, why?

Just try and breath deep, ma'am.

Her name's Rose.

She's your mom?

Is he okay?

These are mostly first
and second degree burns.

Overall, I'd say he's lucky.

Yeah, we both are.

- So lucky. - Here you go, little guy.

It's okay.

Can I do anything to help?

Uh, do you know this little boy?

No, I-I don't, why?

Carlos, I gotta find Bosco.

- 'You almost done in there?' - Not quite.

Well, if you need
somebody to watch him, I'll...

- No, thank you. - But I'm alright.

I-I just.. I wanna help.

Just trust me.

Alright.

I'll be right back.

- You know where Bosco is? - Next bus over.

Bosco, the little boy..

You got him? Is he okay?

- Anybody look at you? Kim?
- Yeah, Taylor did.

- I'm fine. - Yeah, barely.

So what about the boy?
What about the little kid?

He's fine. What about his parents?

Just a mother.

Where is she?

Alright. I'll notify PD.

Is this funny to you, jagoff?

- Oh, Rose! Rose! - 'What's goin' on?'

She's apneic. I gotta intubate.

Ma! She was fine a second ago.

Bosco, get the door.

Hold on. She was just fine.

Yeah, come over here and..

I've never been through
anything like that before.

Hope you never will again.

I guess you see this
kinda stuff all the time

like it's no big deal.

It's never a "No big deal."

You never found them, the boy's parents?

Well, I.. I never said they were missing.

Oh.

Your mother has laryngeal edema.

Basically, the smoke
caused her larynx to swell shut

blocking her airway.

But she'll be okay?

Oh, yeah, once the swelling goes down.

We'll be keeping her a few days.

- Is that better? - Yeah, it's alright.

Your burns are mostly..
Sorry. First degree.

But y-you may develop
some blistering later on.

I can't wait.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind
keeping overnight for observation.

'You did take in as much smoke
as your mother, if not more.'

Yeah.

Maybe.

Mommy will come and see
you in just a minute, okay?

Okay.

- How's he doin'? - Physically, he's fine.

Did you get his name?

My son barely talked at that age.

Much less what this
poor kid's been through.

Child Services better find the father.

Yeah, if there is one.

'Dr. Kim Rose to OR3. Dr. Kim Rose to OR3.'

- Fire's out? - Yeah, just about.

Billy took a fall. Might've cracked a bone.

I should have your luck, Bosco.

Yeah, right.

What's keepin' you upright?

I could've had her, Jimmy.

What?

The kid's mom.

I had her.

I was this close. I..

I could've had her..

If you hadn't pulled me out of the fire.

You'd be dead.

Did you see where it started?

It happened too fast.

How fast until that last flash over?

Two minutes? Three?

It seems like less than that.

Whoever it is sure seems
to know what he's doin'.

Are you sayin' somebody set it?

Fires don't burn like that on their own.

I mean, that much fire movin' that fast

second one, like, in a week.

An arsonist?

Hey, you know, I'm just sayin' maybe.

If I'm right, I'd sure like to get my hands

on that son of a bitch.

Hey, is Sergeant Reyes around?

Sergeant Reyes is on Numas.

Oh, well, uh..

Sergeant Cruz, my name's Boscorelli.

I worked up here a couple
of times with Sergeant Reyes.

Congratulations.

Listen, there was a
fire last night, an arson.

'I was there, I was in it.'

I almost got trapped inside. People died.

Anyway, I saw the guy. I can find him.

Bomb and Arson handles that.

Sergeant Reyes said
ACU could solve anything.

I thought maybe we could look into it too.

We?

Sergeant, I'd like to work
up here for a little while.

I need the freedom.

You guys make your own hours
and you have access to places

I can't get to in a uniform.

You're gonna piss people off.

I'll try to keep it off you.

No one chews out my people but me.

So, it's alright?

There's a Firestarter file
in the back, take a look at it.

- Thanks, sarge. - You're welcome.

Don't thank me yet. I am not God up here.

I still gotta get approval from my boss.

Oh, and, it was, uh, one time.

What?

You worked up here for
Reyes one time, one tour.

Not a couple of times.

Don't lie to me again.

So I put in four hours of OT

don't hit the sheets until almost 5:00

and I can't kick his beer
can across my floor?

Alright, alright. Shouldn't be much longer.

'Keep your voice down.'

All the guy does is sleep, day and night.

If what happened to him, happened to you

you'd do the same thing, man.

I got all kinds of sympathy, but, uh..

You know, what if I
wanna bring a girl home?

When was the last time you did that?

The other night.

The, uh, waitress with
the rack at Rupert's.

Did you see the eye contact I was gettin'?

- Eye contact, right. - Yeah, man.

I wasn't even sitting at her table.

And from that, you got her up here?

- I could have. - Is that right?

Yeah, until I remembered
the big depressed cop

sleepin' on our couch.

You know, man, if that isn't a mood killer

I don't know what is.

Alright, look, I-I
appreciate.. I appreciate it.

It's just until he's back on his feet.

'He should go back to work.'

'He will, as soon as the
department counselor'

'clears him, he will.

'I hope.'

Anything yet?

No. But I'm not done looking.

'Bosco?'

What the hell are you doin'
here? You were just in a fire.

I went to the hospital to look for you.

Uh, Faith Yokas, this is Sergeant Cruz.

- How're you doin'? - Hey.

Sergeant, what do you think?
He should be workin' like this?

I'm not his mother.

- 'Did you see my mother?' - Yeah.

She was awake. She was
really upset with you, you know?

She thought that she lost you.

Lieutenant gave you two days, Boscorelli.

What if that's not enough?

'Not my problem.'

Well..

Can Yokas help me then?

- Excuse me? - Look, I..

I can't do this alone.

I got three operations
running right now, okay?

'I can't spend any time with you two.'

Look, sergeant, this guy
killed people last night, alright?

He could've killed a lot more.

Let us try and stop him.

Hi! I'm Doug Maple.

Forgive me.

These damn Arson conferences.

Four cities in six days.

And you're here about last night's fire.

So you were there?

Yeah.

'Up close.'

A little too close if I remember.

There's a report already?

Fire that big with fatalities,
or really it's not soon enough.

Then you know it was arson?

Until I get a look at the
scene, I don't know anything.

Listen, I wanna find this jagoff.

He, uh, he thinks he saw the guy

hangin' out in the crowd afterwards.

I didn't see him in any of
our books, but I'll know him.

Believe me, I'll know
him if I see him again.

Okay.

So, what's our next move?

Uh, he's a little anxious.

Look, I appreciate your enthusiasm

but this is not like
chasing a purse-snatcher.

Arson is one of the most
difficult crimes to prove.

There's not much evidence
left behind to find out.

Well, you know, there
was another fire last week

and it was a supermarket too.

In Brooklyn, yeah.

T-two fires in separate boroughs

that's not an arson spree make.

Look..

Unless my shovel and I dig
up an actual incendiary device

at the scene..

There's not gonna be
much to build a case on.

Can we come along?

I got a good crew of my own.

But, though I don't need your help directly

if you should stumble
across this guy that you saw

then by all means you let us know, huh?

I will.

- He alright? - Yeah, yeah.

He's gonna be fine.

So, you're, uh..

You're outta here tonight, huh?

Yeah.

Kinda worried what happens

when these painkillers wear off though.

Ah, they'll send you home with a few.

It's real nice of you to stop by.

Oh, yeah, well, we, uh..

We always check up on good people.

Um, your, uh..

Your girlfriend was, was
really a, a big help to us.

Yeah. Joy's great, huh?

Joy? Joy, right.

Yeah, can you, can
you tell her I said thanks?

Well, she'll be here
later to help me check out

'if you wanna tell her yourself.'

Yeah, well, maybe. Yeah.

Okay, take care of yourself.

Thanks.

- Well, maybe? - What?

You are so snakin' that chick.

What chick? I was talkin' to a patient.

Yeah, my patient on the off chance

you just might run into his girlfriend.

- Ah.. - Okay.

Yeah, you would think that.

Nah, I saw the way you were lookin' at her.

And here you are snaking her

right out from under the
nose of an injured man.

And she's half your age.
My hat's off to you, bad boy.

- I'm not snaking anybody, okay? - Oh. Oh.

Now, now, don't get
offensive. I think it's great.

It's not great, okay?

And, and it's not true. It's just not true.

Oh. Okay, fine. Well..

I guess we'll find out when
she's here tonight, huh?

Huh?

Beautiful day. So how're we doin'?

- Can I ask you a question, sir? - Shoot.

What do you want from me?

Oh.. What is it now?

You know I don't wanna be here, right?

I like you Ty and I'm not about
to let you waste your potential.

Well, I'm, I'm flattered
that you like me, sir.

You're my driver, drive.

When do I stop bein' your driver?

When I decide what the hell
else to do with you, alright?

- And when do you think that's... - Drive.

Yes, sir.

You dehydrated?

Doctor said, "Drink a lot of water."

I'm followin' orders, that's all.

I mean, who would make this right?

There's not a lot we can do.

You just have to take it easy.

- 'Turn the car around.' - 'What?'

That's the guy, right there. Blue shirt.

Sir, excuse me, police.

- Stay where you are. - What?

We need to ask you a
couple of questions, sir, okay?

You jagoff!

Ah... damn!

Get up against the wall, right now!

- Get up against the wall! - What's he..

- It's not him. Wrong guy. - 'What?'

You're damn right, I am.

- What? - It's not him.

Sir, I'm sorry, uh..

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

"Inconvenience." Is that what you call it?

Well, it's just that we're, uh,
we're looking for somebody

who matches your description.

Look, why don't you just
get the hell out of here

before we take you in?

Oh, fascists!

Good morning, Chief Hancock.

Okay, what do we got?

Ty?

- Ty Davis? - 'Mo!'

Hey, hey!

How you been?

Well, not as good as you, right?

Huh, drivin' the man.

- That is what's up. - Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, listen, um..

- Can you give me a solid?
- If I can, yeah.

Alright, look.

I've been tryin' to get my
gold shield for a while now

and I was wonderin' if
maybe you can, you know

put in a good word for me.

Ah.

Hey, my record stands for itself.

It's just, hey, it's still
about who we know, isn't it?

Yeah, it's just, I don't, uh..

Really feel comfortable
asking this guy for any favors.

You know, it's a complicated situation.

Ha-ha. Oh, yeah.

- I bet it is, huh? - 'It is.'

It's got nothin' to do with you.

It's just, it's me and him.

Mm-hmm, okay, no, no. I-I hear you.

That's cool. That's cool.

- Drivin' cheap daisy. - What?

- Mo, what'd you say?
- Nah, it's-it's nothin', man.

You sure you got nothin' to say to my face?

It's not about me.

It's about him and you.

It's all good.

- You know what we need?
- I know what you need.

We need to know this guy.

Like a psychological profile.

You know, what makes him tick.

Where, where would he..

- Where would he hangout?
- Bosco, look at you.

- It looks worse than it is.
- You need to stop it.

You need to go home.

No.

Bosco, someone here to see you.

Hey, Faith.

Bosco, this is the
father of the little boy.

Okay?

Paul Carney.

I came down to the
firehouse, you know, to, uh..

Thank them for saving my little guy.

But the fireman I talked to

said it was you.

Is that what he said?

Anyway..

Paul is okay.

He's just asleep outside in
the car with my mom now.

I just..

I want to say thanks.

'That's all.'

It wasn't me.

- What? - It was your wife.

She saved him.

I was there, but, um..

She's the one..

'...who got him out.'

Cindy did?

I never saw anything like it.

She was great.

You take care of that little Paulie.

- Let me do this. - What?

You go home and I'll stay on this.

You saw that.

You know I'm not goin' home.

Male, mid-50s with chest pains.

Pulse is 70, BP 150 over 90.

Here's your chance.

Okay, let's get up there.

Oh, I'm not goin' anywhere with you.

Oh, come on, doc, don't be a killjoy.

Not when sex is at stake.

Play the hero card, forget
the boyfriend. Carpe diem.

The hero card?

Listen to me, even if what
you think about me is true

you are the last person
I would go up there with.

- Come on. - Excuse me.

- You're Monte, right? - Yeah.

- It's.. It's Joy, right? - Joy.

- It's Joy. - Right.

Uh, Leo told me that you
stopped by to check on him.

I'm Carlos, I was the one who actually

worked on your, uh, Leo.

Mm.

I can't get over how nice you guys are.

I don't know. I mean, we, um..

- You know, when... -
It's part of the job really.

Yeah.

Um..

- That's my partner. - Yeah.

- He's, uh... - He's lucky to have you.

- Oh.. - Ha-ha-ha.

Look, I, uh..

I saw in the paper today
about that little boy's mother.

- Oh. - And the fire.

I had a feeling last night,
you weren't telling me

the truth about her.

Well, you know, I mean,
the night was hard enough.

Why would you need to hear that too, huh?

Well, I thought about it all day.

You protecting me that way
and, and then, when I get here

Leo said that you stopped by to see me.

I just..

Look, I just think that
you're noble, that' all..

In what you do and how you do it and..

It's, uh, good to know
that there're guys like you

still in the world.

Well, ahem, thank you.

- You take care, okay?
- Oh, y-you take care.

- Okay. - No. No.

I-I-I'll, uh, I'll see you.

She's throwin' herself at you,
snake. Get her phone number.

- Would you get off my back?
- Come on. Just..

Alright.

- Joy? - That's it, bad boy.

Go for the kill.

Um..

Listen, I..

I appreciate what you said back there

which is why I got to be honest with you.

I didn't exactly go up there

to check on your boyfriend today.

Only reason I went up
there was because I was..

Well, I hoping to see you again.

- Oh. - I mean, l-listen..

Maybe it's just me, I mean,
it was probably just me

but, you know, with
everything that was goin' on

around us last night, I kinda felt like..

Like we connected, you know.

And, um, that's why I went up there.

You know, I'm glad your boyfriend's okay

and everything, but, you know..

If you and him don't ever
work out, you know, I..

I was thinkin' that maybe..

I'd like to get to know you better.

Well, that's, uh..

Thank you. That is so..

You know, I-I..

Leo and.. I-I really
should get back up there.

Sure. Sure. You gotta go, 'cause..

- Look, I'm sorry. - No. Okay. No, no, no.

It is completely understandable why I..

You so blew that.

- Hey. - What're you doin' here?

You're helpin' Doug Maple out?

He said you two stopped
by his office to sign up.

You're fire marshals now?

Truth comes out. Everyone
wants to be a fireman.

No, they don't. Trust me.

Man, you look terrible.

- How's your mom? - Good, I guess.

Hey. Still on your feet?

- Until we catch this guy. - Yeah.

- 'Did you find the device?' - No.

Burn pattern's pretty telling all.

Point of origin was the chip aisle.

- Well, there it is. - Yeah.

I'll catch you guys later.

-I almost forgot about her. - What?

My mom. I didn't even call
to see how she was doin'.

Look at what I got here, mommy.

Butternut toffee.

Come on, who's your son?

'Who's your buddy? Mm?'

Come on, ma.

How can you be mad at me?

Oh, yeah.

Why should I care about
you? I'm just your mother.

Go ahead, Faith.

Tell him what it's like.

'Tell him what it's like to be a mother.'

Oh, I'm sorry, Rose.

You know, he doesn't listen to me either.

I'm gonna, uh, I'm gonna go get a soda.

Look, ma..

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I scared you.

Any other mother would be proud, you know?

Proud?

To watch you risk your life like that?

'Did you ever once think of me'

when you went rushing back in there?

How did this get to be about you?

What good am I living if you're dead?

You're runnin' into fires

dodging bullets for a living.

And then you wonder why I..

I need a glass of wine now and then.

What? You drink because of me?

You know what?

Forget it.

I don't even know why I try anymore.

Maurice.

How's the little boy?

He's with his father.

You saved his life.

Yeah.

'All available units'

'respond to 866-Rondell.'

'FDNY report to 10-59 in progress.'

- I have to go, mom. - Yeah.

We have to get it on top.

Bosco.

- Sergeant Cruz. - Yeah. I heard the call.

I figured you guys would be here.

What happened? You're pissin' people off.

I like pissing people off.

Okay, so, I'm gonna get the faces.

I want you guys to get the
license plates, ask questions.

Let's go.

You son of a bitch!

Pretty cool, huh?

The fire.

You like that, don't you?

- Yeah, I guess so. - Yeah.

Makes you feel good inside, huh?

Right down to that little
tiny johnson of yours.

Where're you goin', huh?

Where're you goin'?

You know what you did?
You know what you did?

Huh?

Police!

He's a cop. Show me your hands.

I didn't do anything.

Way to go, Bosco. You got him.

You okay?

It's weird, you know.

Watching the whole thing
unravel in front of my eyes.

Would you just drop it already?

I can't. It's..

It's like everything around
you was in slow motion

while you were completely
blowing it at regular speed.

"The, uh, only reason I, uh

came up here was to, uh, see you, uh.."

Okay, enough. Alright?

I mean, look, we're not gonna spend

the entire shift analyzing this

like it was a sports clip.

It was educational at least.

I know now more than ever.

Honestly kills.

- You think so? - 'Yeah.'

- Hi, Joy. - Hey.

How you doin'?

Hey, Carlos.

So, what are you, uh, here to see him, or..

Okay, well, I'll just be

restocking the bus then, you know.

You never know how many
lives we're gonna save today.

Yeah. Excuse me.

Hold on. Work on the med bay.

Uh..

What're you doin' here?

Well, I never got your number.

- So.. - You..

I never got yours.

I-I was under the impression that

what I said kinda scared you off.

Yeah, well, it did
surprise me a little bit.

Well, that makes two of us.

I hadn't realized it was mutual.

It was?

Okay.

What about Leo?

Yeah, I..

I like Leo, but..

It's not like we're married or anything.

So, what I said was okay?

Well, if you hadn't said it, I'd..

Probably would've just let it go, but..

Yeah, it sure felt like to me too that we..

Connected and I..

So, uh..

So.. Yeah, yeah. So, so..

- We should get together, right? - Yeah.

- Yeah. Okay. - Okay.

When?

- Um, tonight. - Tonight.

Tonight. Okay.

Wow! Um..

Well, I'm off at 11:00.
- That's great. That's good.

Uh-huh.

You know what? I-I don't have pen.

Oh, well, I have a really good memory.

Two, three, one, six.

Then I'll call you later.

I know nothing. You rule.

' "S-A-F 1-1-3."'

'Uh, late model Explorer.'

'Got it.'

'Next.'

"A-C-X 7-0-1-0."

It looks like a Buick.

What's that?

Oh, there was a, uh, traffic camera

in the intersection
outside the supermarket.

So, we're just goin' through some stuff.

Seein' if maybe, uh, before
his car was at the scene.

Good.

You're gonna need somethin'.

The evidence text didn't find
anything in his home or car.

All clean.

Plus, he, uh, claims you're a pervert.

What?

Did you ask him about his johnson?

I asked him about his little tiny johnson.

'I should've ripped it off him too.'

I'd hate to have to handle that complaint.

I guess it'd, uh, be theft.

Petty larceny.

"A-C-X 7-0-1-0."

No way.

- Yokas? - Hm.

'Come here.'

You're not gonna believe this.

You got to be kiddin' me.

'Sergeant Cruz, you gotta check this out.'

Ah-ha. Excuse me.

Do you mind?

Oh.

Nice car.

- Is it yours? - Uh, yeah. Why?

- I, I like blue, you know. - Oh.

'Hey, we need to talk, Dougie.'

How do you know my name?

- We know a lot about you.
- Let me see your hands.

Let's go.

What? I didn't do anything, man.

Well..

I wasn't trying to hurt anybody.

'Hurt?'

People are dead.

Yeah, well..

"Yeah, well?"

You don't care?

I care.

- More than he'll ever know.
- Who, your dad?

Oh, give me a break.

All he pays attention to is fire.

Maybe now he'll start
paying attention to me.

Yeah, poor you.

You whiny little bitch.

I know fire.

I know more than any of them.

Who's them?

My brothers.

Both firemen.

His favorites.

I didn't even pass the test.

So you burn people up?

This is between me and my dad.

You selfish little bitch.

- Bosco! - What the hell is goin' on?

Why don't you ask him?

- Dad... - Not a word, Dougie.

You got a lawyer on the way over.

We'll straighten this out.

- Dad... - Not a word!

This is a mistake.

So what the hell does this prove?

'97 Taurus parked outside the second fire

half hour before it started.

Car's registered in the
name "Doug Maple Jr."

Wait a minute.

That's wrong.

First of all, I'm junior.

The car's registered to me. It's my car.

Sir, the date of birth.

That's, that's a mistake. It's a mix up.

They do it all the time.

It's my car. I'm the
one you want to talk to.

You're actually willing to
take the fall for your kid?

Dougie was out of town.

You've been out of town.

You were at all those Arson conferences.

These pictures don't prove anything.

That's all I'm sayin'.

Last night's fire.

We got his car number too.

- And the first one... -
'He's already confessed, sir.'

So there's really no point
puttin' yourself through this.

Oh, Dougie, Dougie, Dougie.

- 'Hey.' - Hey.

Thought you'd be gone already.

Don't change at the station anymore?

No. Hancock has me pickin'
him up at his front door.

Somebody's front door.

- That dancing girl.
- This detail sucks, man.

The looks I'm gettin', the comments..

It's likes I'm not even cop anymore.

Yeah, well, hang in there, baby.

Yeah.

You got that counsellor again today?

Later.

It's goin' good.

Well, hurry back to work, alright, man?

Oh, yeah.

What would possess a guy

to fall on a sword like that?

I mean, he-he didn't even hesitate.

He's a parent and that's what you do.

Oh, come on.

Really?

You'd cover for your kid like that?

If it was Emily?

- Or Charlie? - I'd kill them both first.

I'm serious, Faith.

I'm asking.

When Emily was born, I realized
somethin' about my own parents.

For all their insanity and
their bitching and their nagging

all they really wanted for
me was a life without pain.

Good luck.

If it was up to me

my kids would never cry.

They'd never be embarrassed

or humiliated or disappointed.

They'd never get hurt.

That's how much you'll love them.

You want to put them in
a bubble for safekeeping.

Someplace where there's no psychos

there's no drugs, there's no danger.

No life.

I didn't say it was rational.

I'm sorry, mom.

I'm sorry.

Don't you die before me.

You got it.
