DR. PATEL: Are you uncomfortable about remembering the past?
DOMINICK BIRDSEY: My brother doesn't belong here.
He should be over at He's seriously mentally ill.
You never think about what I need!
THOMAS BIRDSEY: Christopher, he used to beat us.
STEP FATHER: Elbows off the table.
THOMAS: He never hit Dominick the way he hit me.
And one time he took the handle of a
DOMINICK: Ugh, I can't! I can't!
Stop it!
PATEL: I learned something today.
There are two young men lost in the woods.
Not one... two.
三河医院附近的墓园 Dominick: The cemetery that abuts the edge of Three Rivers
很低调 is a modest place.
南端的小路 At the southern end,
通往我外公的坟 out past where my grandfather is buried,
也有条很多人走的路通往河边 a beaten path leads to a river.
跟着水声 Follow the sound of water,
会走到一个地方 and you'll come to a spot that takes your breath away.
美得令人屏息 这里的人都称为＂瀑布＂ Everyone here calls that spot simply, the Falls.
瀑布虽然常出现在月历上 The Falls is and has been a calendar picture
却也是三河这里的不祥之地 and a trouble spot in Three Rivers.
发生过自杀 Suicides have happened here.
意外和命案 Accidents, murders.
汤玛斯和我念三年级时 The year Thomas and I were third graders,
同学潘妮安丁华特的遗体 the dead body of a classmate,
在瀑布区寻获 Penny Ann Drinkwater, was found out at the Falls.
潘妮安丁华特和罗夫 Penny Ann Drinkwater and her brother, Ralph,
是河街小学的另一对双胞胎 were the only other twins at River Street School.
那时候汤玛斯和我以为 Back then, Thomas and I thought of the Drinkwaters
丁华特双胞胎是有色人种 as colored.
但他们其实是混血儿 有黑人 白人 But they were mixed. Part black, part white,
和原住民血统 part Wequonnoc Indian.
别咬了 Teacher: Can you please stop that?
各位同学怎么过感恩节 What do you guys have at your house for Thanksgiving?
汤玛斯喜欢她 我却觉得反感 Dominick: Thomas liked her but I didn't.
也不想坐在她旁边 I didn't want to sit next to her either.
她身上有尿味 会吃浆糊 She smelled like pee, she ate paste.
吸烂毛衣上的钮扣 She sucked on the buttons of her ratty sweater.
除此之外 潘妮安还会说谎 And on top of all that, Penny Ann was a liar.
从成绩到爸妈 She lied about her grades,
赚多少钱都作假 about how much money her parents made.
什么都骗人 She lied about everything.
我妈春天要帮我买一匹小马 My mom is buying me a Shetland pony in the spring.
棕色的 鼻子上有一道白毛 He's going to be brown with a white stripe on his nose.
你这个大骗子 You're nothing but a big, fat liar.
三年级 Dominick: There came a point
入秋后某天 in the fall of my third grade year
我终于受不了了 that I just couldn't stand it anymore.
潘妮 快点 Boy: Come on, Penny, hurry up!
决定也来编一个谎言 Dominick: So I decided to make up a lie of my own.
扯谎说看到潘妮安 I made up a story about how I had seen
在走廊上偷同学的巧克力饼干 Penny Ann stealing Oreos from some kid in the hallway.
- 她在哪里 - 走廊 Where is she? She's in the hallway.
在这里等着 Stay here.
潘妮安‥ Penny Ann.
汉克老师写了字条 Dominick: Mrs. Hanko wrote a note
给哈斯校长 过来 to the principal, Ms. Haas... Come here.
叫我们两个去找校长 and sent us both to see her.
哈斯校长选择相信我 Ms. Haas believed me, not Penny Ann,
潘妮安拚命否认 whose repeated denials turned into a combination
最后又哭又咳 of crying and coughing that sounded
听起来居然有点像狗吠 oddly like a dog's bark.
我给了她教训 心里很得意 I felt satisfied that a lesson had been taught.
好了 回座位 Mrs. Hanko: Okay, go sit down.
但弟弟的眼神让我赫然想起 Dominick: But then, the look my brother gave me
偷饼干的事完全 made me remember that the theft had been pure
是我捏造的 invention on my part.
他老爱提醒我 He's always doing that.
我做错了什么 Reminding me of what I do wrong.
潘妮安被罚停学三天 Penny Ann was suspended for three days.
但是她失踪了 再也不曾返校 But she disappeared, and never returned to school.
多明尼克 快写 Mrs. Hanko: Dominick. Come on.
你笔下的人物是坏人 Is your character a bad guy?
还是好人 是个小偷吗 A good person. Somebody who steals from people?
过了好几个星期 我越来越无法忍受 Dominick: As the weeks went by, her desk became harder
身旁那张空桌 and harder to sit next to.
她的命案未曾侦破 In the wake of her unsolved murder,
却开始出现在我的恶梦里 she began visiting me in my nightmares.
学校买了一棵柳树苗 The school bought a small willow tree
为她举行了种树仪式 and hosted a treeplanting ceremony in her honor.
三年级生都要写一篇文章 All the third graders were asked to write essays
描述我们记忆中的潘妮安 on how we would remember our dear friend.
她是个好朋友 She was a good friend and fun to...
我通常都能投老师所好 Dominick: I usually knew what the teachers were after
写了一篇伤感的文章 and wrote so sentimentally,
所以中选要上台朗诵 I was chosen to read my tribute aloud.
她有办法逗大家笑 包括老师 She could make anybody laugh, even her teachers.
她很善良 真希望她还在我们身边 She was kind, and I wish she was still here.
谢谢 Thank you.
念完之后 我不敢跟人对上眼 Dominick: After the speech, I couldn't look at anyone.
尤其是我弟弟和罗夫 Especially my brother and Ralph.
于是用哈斯校长挡住身形 So I hid in the safety of Ms. Haas.
我跟她组队合谋 We were a team.
让潘妮安在 Her and I had conspired
几周前 to make Penny Ann's life miserable
受尽折磨 just weeks before.
德米尼 请坐 Lisa: Domenico, have a seat.
好消息 监护法官 I got some good news. The probate judge
决定撤销 你弟弟的刑事罪名 decided to drop the criminal charges against your brother.
就是持械那一条 You know, the weapons thing.
- 很好 - 相当不赖 That's great. That's fantastic.
现在是坏消息 你弟弟现在由 Now we got some bad news. Your brother has been released
精神病安全审查委员会监管 to the custody of the Psychiatric Security Review Board,
他们量刑下手 and they've been known to be pretty aggressive
都很重 with their sentencing,
所以像你弟这样的新闻人物 and headline grabbers like your brother,
处境很不利 they tend to be at a disadvantage when it comes to that.
更让我担心的是 The other thing that scares me more than that,
审理时间已经排好了 they've already scheduled his hearing.
什么时候 ３１日 星期三 For when? Wednesday, the 31st.
这个星期三 对 That... this Wednesday. Yes, it is.
万圣节快乐 Happy Halloween. So that,
这是好事吧 that could be good though, right?
他也许能出院 难说 I mean, he might be outta here. Well, I don't know about that.
公务部门效率通常很差 Usually I'm screaming about how inefficient everything is,
这么有效率让人觉得 and now, it's their efficiency that's really making me wonder
必定有鬼 what the hell's going on.
他们会不会想来硬的 If this is some kind of fuckin' bag job
直接把我弟关到 where they're just they're just ramming this through
地老天荒 to lock him up and throw away the key,
我不会乖乖就范的 I'm gonna raise holy hell.
你得帮弟弟说话 I need you to advocate for your brother

怎么了 不过上周 What happened? I mean, last week,
你还觉得他待在这里最理想 youyou thought this place was the best place in the world for him,
现在变成他应该离开了吗 and now, now you think he should be out of here.
对 为什么 Yeah. Why?
因为我看到他了 因为我看到他了 多明尼克 Because I saw him. I saw him, Dominick.
他在这里很不适应 He's... he's having a real hard time here.
天啊 Okay.
大家都看得出来 他很弱势 Lisa: Everyone can see it. He's so passive.
老是受人欺负 He gets picked on all the time.
医院里有些罪犯很凶狠 And there are some real criminals here.
但你弟弟不是 他很温和 You know, your brother is not one of 'em. He's a gentle soul.
你知道安全授权这堆狗屎 Yeah, you wanna know what sucks
最烂的是什么吗 about this whole security clearance bullshit?
- 什么 - 我连自己的弟弟都不能见 What? The way I'm not allowed to see my own brother.
你的许可随时会下来 Your clearance will be here any day.
到时就能探访他了 And then you'll get to see him.
这个环境可能很难适应 This can be a very challenging environment
不利妄想型思觉失调患者 for paranoid schizophrenics.
没错 分分秒秒都有人在监视 It really can, people are actually watching you all the time.
我觉得管控比较不严密的地方 I think an environment with less of a security focus
对他会比较好 would be so much better for him.
我一开始 Which is what exactly I was trying to tell you all
就说了 from the very beginning.
- 我知道 多明尼克‥ - 但你不听我的 I know you did. And you didn't wanna listen to me!
多明尼克 你不听我的 Dominick, Dominick. You didn't listen to me.
我现在在听了 I'm listening now, and you know what?
全班就你最聪明 You're the smartest boy in the class.
等等出去时送你一颗金星 Right, you get a gold star on the way out.

我能信任你吗 Can I, can I trust you?
可以 多明尼克 Lisa: You can, Dominick.
你可以信任我 You can.
写下来 Write it down.
我要说些什么 What do I say?
先谈你对弟弟的感情 Lisa: Start with your feelings about your brother.
叙述你对他的了解 How you know him to be.
说不能用单一事件评断他 How that one incident doesn't define him.
你懂的 凭心里的感觉写 You know. Write what's in your heart.
罗夫 你好吗 Hey, Ralph. How you doin', man?
好久不见 Long time no see.
你看到过我的弟弟了吗 you see my brother in here?
嗯 Ralph: Yeah.
我看过 I see him.
他们对他还好吗 Are they treatin' him okay, man?
第一晚之后 我就没再见过他了 I haven't been able to see him since thatthat first night.
他们说我要获得 You know, andand they won't let me see him
许可才能探视 until I get this stupid security clearance, so I was...
额 Well.
你应该没问题吧 That won't be a problem for you, will it?
你的纪录应该是一清二白 Your record must be white boy white.
我只想知道他好不好 Man, I just wanted to know if he's okay.
他们会不会虐待他 You see them doing anything or mistreating him?
那个社工人很好 I mean, we've got this social worker.
但假如你看到职员 She's fine and everything, but you, you see anything
疏漏的地方 that the, the staff misses?
我留个电话 你可以打给我 Can you reach out to me? I'll give you my number.
罗夫 我知道你不欠我人情 Look, I know you don't owe me any favors, Ralph.

等我拿到许可就好 just until, you know, I get this security clearance thing.
我知道你很忙 I know you're busy, man, but...

他干吗戴牛仔帽 What's the deal with this guy with the cowboy hat on?
当自己是约翰韦恩啊 He thinks he's fuckin' John Wayne.
他是谁 Who is that dude?
汤玛斯住院之前 Dominick: Before Thomas' intake,
我最后一次看到罗夫丁华特 I hadn't seen Ralph Drinkwater
是在１９６８年毕业典礼当天 since graduation day of 1968.
母亲在那天 And on that day,
送了我们一份礼物 we received a joint present from our mother.
你们两个一起用 Ma: For both of you, mmhmm.
我的宝贝毕业生 My graduates.
多明尼克 打开看啊 Come on, Dominick.
很好 There you go.
打字机不是妈妈买的 Dominick: Ma hadn't bought the typewriter.
是她换回来的 She redeemed it.
她多年来一直搜集消费集点券 For years, she had been saving S&H green stamps
想要换一座立钟 但存到超过一半时 in hopes of cashing them in for a chiming grandfather clock.
改变主意 Dominick: She was more than halfway through to her goal
帮我们 when she revised her plan
换了打字机 and got us the typewriter instead.
她说 Our success, she told us,
我们出人头地比钟重要多了 was more important than some silly old clock.
所谓出人头地 妈妈指的应该是人身安全 By "our success," I think Ma meant our safety.
前一年 我们的邻居 The year before, a neighbor of ours,
比利柯文顿在越南阵亡 Billy Covington, had been killed in Vietnam.
当时我对他的死没什么感觉 Although his death failed to move me at the time,
但母亲大受打击 it clobbered my mother.
比利大我们四岁 这一辈子 Four years our senior, Billy had been all his life
都揭示她两个儿子的 a sort of living preview of coming attractions
未来命运 for her two boys.
去越南可能会死 Vietnam could kill us.
但上大学可以保平安 College would keep us safe.
对折 Fold.
当时我即将念完高中 希望彻底 Dominick: As a high school senior, I hungered for a clean break
抛下这个破烂的家 from my entire fuckedup family.
却因经济压力而 But cost made it impossible for me
无法和弟弟划清界线 to distance myself from my brother,
所以我强力提议各自找室友 and so I lobbied hard for separate roommates.
只是不同房间而已 It's just separate rooms.
我们还会在同一个校园 We'll still be on campus together.
说不定是同一栋宿舍 Maybe even in the same dorm.
不行 Thomas: Nope.
汤玛斯 我们该各自发展了 Thomas, it's time for us to become our own person.
打字机怎么办 What about our typewriter?
- 打字机怎么了 - 我们两人共有 What about the typewriter? We both own it.
如果分房住 它要跟谁 Where's it going to live if we're living in two separate places?
打字机可以携带啊 It's portable.
你要用时我会拿来给你 I'llI'll deliver it to you whenever you need it.
我为什么要等你 Why should I have to wait around for you
在我需要用的时候送过来 to deliver it to me when I need it?
那就放在你房间 不要 We'll keep it in your room. Nope.
- 汤玛斯 - 不要 Thomas! Nope.
好笑的是 Dominick: Here's the funny thing.
大闹一场后 After that big stink Thomas made,
汤玛斯大一几乎 he hardly touched that typewriter
没碰过打字机 during our entire freshman year.
也几乎不读书 Hardly ever cracked the books, either.
他高中很用功 He'd been a pretty conscientious student in high school.
为了拿乙和乙下 Had worked harder for his B's and Bminuses
下的工夫比我拿甲还多 than I had worked for my A's.
但汤玛斯上大学后整天躺在床上 But at UConn, Thomas couldn't get out of bed.
我马上来 Dominick: I'll be right there.
李欧 Leo.
天啊 Jesus Christ.
你撞到载古龙水的卡车了吗 What'd you do, crash into a cologne truck?
这是我的天然体香 I'm naturally musky, okay?
你弟要不要来 Does he wanna come?
别自找麻烦 Dominick: Don't start, okay?
晚安 你好吗 Leo: Good evening, how are you?
好极了 你呢 Woman: I am fabulous. How are you?
好极了 我喜欢 我们也好极了 Leo: Fabulous. I like that. We're fabulous too.
我们刚从洛杉矶来这里 We just got here from Los Angeles.
洛城 Woman: LA?
对 洛城 你们看起来有点眼熟 Yeah, LA, actually, you guys look kind of familiar.
我在福斯的片厂见过你们吗 Did we see you out there? The 20th Century Fox lot?
- 没错 - 对 我们是演员 Woman: Yeah. We're actresses.
演员 真巧 Leo: Actresses? Well, what a coincidence. Woman: Yeah.
我们是特技演员 We're both, uh, stuntmen.
特技演员 Woman: Oh, stuntmen!
对 不晓得你们是否看过‥ Yeah, did you ever see, uh,
＂虎豹小霸王＂ "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"?

保罗纽曼和劳勃瑞福 Yeah, you know the part where Paul Newman and Robert Redford
跳崖那段 jump off the cliff?
他演劳勃瑞福 我是保罗纽曼 Robert Redford, Paul Newman.
真是棒得要命 对吧 Woman: That's fascinating, yeah! Right?
说大话来博取好感 这样可不行 Woman: ...that's not very nice.
- 我才不会骗你 等等 - 再见 No, I wouldn't do that. No, wait, I... Bye.
没用 Ah, it didn't work.
这点最讨厌了 Now, you know, you know, that's, that's what I hate.
满分女知道自己是满分女 An "A" chick who knows she's an "A" chick.
这根本是脑部疾病 It's like a brain disease.
亲切的五分女 I'll take a goodnatured "B" chick
比跩得要命的满分女好太多了 over an "A" chick with a bad attitude any day.
你们泡到妞了吗 You're out scoring women?
还在努力 Leo: I'm trying to score,
希望能泡到五分到满分的美女 hopefully someone from the "A" or" B" category.
你们的细腻感情一定能 Waitress: Well, I'm sure they'll be impressed
赢得芳心 by your, uh, sensitivity.
要点些什么 What can I get you guys?
两杯酒鬼炸弹 谢谢 Um, two boilermakers please. Yeah, we need
打搅一下 宝贝 Excuse me. All right, thank you.
你再毛手毛脚就滚出去 Keep your hands to yourself of I'll have you thrown out of here.
懂吗 我只是想让你注意我 You understand? I'm just trying to get your attention.
宝贝 Sweetheart, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
别吃人家的豆腐 Buddy, why don't you fuckin' get your hands off her.
我不需要你保护 Hey, I don't need you to protect me, all right?
想英雄救美的可以出去了 If you're gonna start a fuckin' brawl in my honor
好 对不起 get outta here. Fine. Forgive me.
- 来一杯吧 - 我出去走走 Leo: Have a drink. I'm gonna go take a walk.
对不起 Sorry.
Hey, it sounds like you might have flooded her.
I'd wait a while and then I'd start again.
Not that I'm trying to rescue you or anything.
No, hey, hey.
I...
look, I really appreciated
you trying to get those jerks off my back.
Yeah, they're assholes. Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
So what'd they do, fire you? Did you quit?
My replacement finally showed up, but thank you.
Okay.
Uh, where do you live? Maybe my buddy and I
can give you a ride home.
I'm not sure I'm an "A," so would I be able
to go with you guys or?
I'm sorry, I don't grade women like
He's a He's a weird guy. Okay, okay. Yeah.
I'm sorry. You would be an "A" though
if I was grading, but I'm not grading.
Okay, nice save.
Hey, what's your name?
My name? Uh, Dominick.
Dominick. That's Italian, right?
Yeah. Uh, half.
Waitress: What's the other half?
A little of this, a little of that.
Oh, uh, I'm Dessa, by the way.
Oh, um, Dessa, I'm...
Sorry I didn't ask you your name.
Uh, really nice to meet you, Dessa.
Right. Yeah.
Hey, why don't you give it another whirl?
The, uh, the, the car. Oh, right.
Let's see.
It's alive! Thank you.
Dominick: You're welcome.
Dessa: I like talking to you.
Me, too.
We should do this again soon. Yes, okay.
Okay. Uh...
Dessa: I'll see you around.
Dessa: Bye! Dominick: Bye.
Good night.
Thomas: Did you meet a girl tonight?
Dominick: What if I did?
Thomas: Did you?
Dominick: Yeah.
Did you and she go to bed together?
What the...
why, are you gonna give me a big speech
about premarital sex now?
I'm just, I'm just curious.
What are you curious about?
About what it feels like.
About what it feels like toto be inside of a girl.
Dominick: I don't know, it's like this...
this like intimate connection you get to feel
with another person.
Like...
You're like attached to each other for a little bit.
Like you're magnets.
Your body and her body and...
and then she gets excited and she gets wet inside and...
It's like she wants you inside of her
so she gets ready so once you're in...
It's like...
It's like what?
It's like like nothing, Thomas.
It's none of your fuckin' business.
You want to know what it's like so bad,
why don't you leave this fuckin' dorm room
and go find a girl and fuck her brains out?
Just shut the fuck up and go to sleep.
It's just, I was worried, that's all.
I just don't want anything bad to happen to you
because I love you and I need you.
Because you're my brother.
Okay?
Dominick: Yeah.
Dominick: You know what really gets me about that
conversation, the memory of it?
It's how much he was still there.
Dr. Patel: Still there in what respect?
Dominick: Well, I mean, like, he was still able
to care about somebody.
Beyond himself.
He was, he was, he was, Thomas was still home,
and I wasted that time with him.
I, I, I squandered
that, that last moment together.
I remember my wedding.
He was too sick to actually...
to come, you know? But I got, I got, I got
ready early and I got in the car with Leo
and I had him take me over to the hospital.
I ran up there in my tuxedo and I...
I saw him there.
I said to him, "Thomas, man...
if things were different, you'd be my best man."
What was his reaction? Nothin'.
Nothin'.
He was gone.
He was...
You know, he was, he was zoned out
on whatever the fuck they had him on.
Librium, I gue I can't even remember anymore. It's just
And...
I mean...
The one time I actually did get a rise out of him
was when Angela was born.
And I went over there that afternoon
and I busted out some cigars.
And I sat with him.
I told him he was an uncle.
And he smiled.
And he got it, man. He was he got it.
But he never met her.
I mean, it was...
fuck.
It was, it was only three weeks. There was no time.
We were, we were so busy, and...
That morning, we were gonna take her,
take her to see him.
: But she...
He missed her.
Leo : Hey, what's up, numb nuts?
Uh, I booked us a court tomorrow at 9:00.
So we gotta get you back to the world of the living.
I'm gonna give you a good oldfashioned ass whooping.
So 9:00. Don't puss out on me.
Right.

Go on. Serve. Leo: What happened?
Did your leotard go up your butt?
I'd be killin' you, dude.
I would be killin' you by more, but I got a lot on my mind.
Dominick: Yeah, as if I don't have anything on my mind.
Lucky shot. That's what I'm talkin' about.
Right, lucky shot.
Come on, man, get your head in the game.
I'm trying. Oh, did I tell you about this audition?
For this movie.
Nothing big budget. Dominick: Shit.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Hey, what's up?
I'm sorry I didn't come home last night.
Or the night before.
I was mad at you.
Where you been?
Thad's.
Can I make it up to you?
Let's stop fighting.
Can I come back?
Okay.
Just okay? Okay, okay.
Leo: Can we play?
Can I get back to the game now?
Leo: Let's play.
There's somebody on the phone for you. That's why I came to get you.
What, why didn't you just? A lady from the hospital.
Which hospital? The one with your brother.
Why didn't you say something about it?
I don't know. You're the one who gave them my work number.
Leo: Where you going? Where are you going?!
Lisa: Thanks for comin' so quickly. Dominick: Yeah.
Your clearance came through. You get to see him today. It did?
That's what I needed you here right away
so that I could talk to you about some stuff goin' on
before we get in there, okay? Okay, what's up?
Okay, um, the state's closing Settle as early as March.
They're not taking any new admissions.
So that leaves us in a little bit of a fix.
If he gets released, where's he gonna go?
He just comes with me. With you?
Yeah, I mean, what else am I gonna do?
We're trying to get him out of here, aren't we?
Yes, but I don't think you understand
just how difficult it's gonna be.
You're gonna have to monitor his meds.
Yeah. Supervise his hygiene.
Yeah. You're gonna have to babyproof
your house pretty much and lock up all the knives.
What the hell's that about? I'm just sayin'.
That's the reality, Dominick. Yeah, I know.
So why are you making a joke of it?
I'm not making a joke.
You have a job. You have a life.
I know that. There's, there is no choice.
He's not staying here. I understand.
And we said, do we wanna get him out of here or no?
We wanna get him out of here, Dominick. All right.
But I want you to realize what you're undertaking.
He should be in a facility.
And I'm gonna work my hardest to get him somewhere.
But for right now, we don't know where that is, okay?
So you know what I need from you today?
I need you to think about what it would be like
for you to be the sole caregiver of Thomas.
24/7. And after you see him today,
then you decide, okay?
Here we are.
You sit right here, Dom.
He should be here any minute.
Again, focus on, on the meeting, all right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Dominick: Oh, shoot. Lisa: Here he comes.
Hey, buddy.
The patient needs to stay seated on this side of the table.
Both of you need to stay over there.
No handshakes, hugs, or physical contact of any kind.
Lisa: Thank you.
Hey, buddy, how you doin'?
Thomas: Lousy.
Dominick: You're lousy?
Why, why are you lousy, buddy?
Ralph Drinkwater's the janitor here.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen him.
He looks just the same, doesn't he?
Hasn't changed at all even after all these years.
You look you look good, too, man.
Dominick: What? You do.
Seriously, considering... Considering what?
Dominick: I mean, all this, you know.
Your hand, this place.
I'm thinking of having myself declared a corporation.
Dominick: A what? A corporation.
I've been reading about it. It's to protect myself.
If I, if I, if I make myself into a corporation,
then I have safeguards in case someone tries to...
tries to sue me.
Dominick: Why, why would anyone wanna sue you, buddy?
Can I have a cigarette?
Lisa: No, sorry.
No, it's not allowed.
Thomas: They don't let you walk the grounds here.
Food's disgusting.
Yesterday, they served rice and beans for lunch
with wheat bread, and canned pineapple.
I found a dead beetle in my rice and beans.
Lisa: Did you tell someone, Thomas,
so they could get you another serving?
I mean, if that happens again, what could you do
to really make the situation better for yourself?
Thomas: You remember...
remember when we used to take walks?
You, me, and Dessa by the Falls.
You two always used to stop
and read the gravestones, remember?
Used to read Grandpa's gravestone.
Why wasn't Grandma buried next to him?
I, I don't know.
Ma never, Ma never said anything about it.
Remember when you used to, uh...
take your shoes and socks off and wade into the water?
Thomas: "And he showed me the river, the water of life,
"clear as crystal, flowing forth
from the throne of God and the Lamb."
Thomas: Will you do me a favor, Dominick?
Yeah, what? Sure, anything.
Will you get a jar of water from the river
and bring it back to me?
What do you want that for?
Thomas: Because I want to wash with it.
I feel like if maybe if I washed with it,
it'd help me heal my infection.
I'm unclean.
But it looks good, buddy.
Thomas: What?
You your your wrist.
It looks like it's healing. I mean my brain.
I think if I wash with the river water,
it'll help heal my brain.
Officer: It's just against the rules. Nothing can come into
the facility unless it gets approved.
You cannot bring water into the facility.
Hey, what's the big deal?
I'll just bring him a jar of water.
Officer: It's against the rules to bring anything in.
You can't bring anything in. Dominick: Come on, what's,
what's the big fuckin' deal?
I don't, I don't make the rules, sir.
Lisa: You know, I can work on that request, Dominick.
I can, but right now, we really have to talk about the meeting.
Right, you remember that? We have a meeting on Wednesday.
Thomas?
We have a meeting, we talked about.
There's gonna be a hearing on Wednesday.
Yes. Do you remember?
To decide if I get outta here or not!
Yes.
And I'm gonna be there, Dr. Patel's gonna be there,
Dominick's gonna be there, and you're gonna be there, too, Thomas.
You already told me that. I know.
Lisa: Okay, great. So what we wanna do
is just make sure that when we're in there,
we know what we're gonna say.
And remember we talked about the question
they're probably gonna ask you?
Do you remember what that was about?
About my hand. That's right.
And what are you gonna say when they ask you about your hand?
How how's Ray?
We really have to focus. Come on now, Thomas.
What are you gonna say when they ask you
why you removed your hand?
Thomas, answer her question.
Hey, look, man, you wanna get out of here, don't you?
Then you gotta answer her question.
Thomas: "In the midst of the river, on both sides of the stream,
"is a tree of life bearing 12 fruits
yielding its fruit, each according to the month."
Answer her qu "Its leaves for the healing of the nation.
Answer her question, man. I am answering the question.
I was following biblical dictate.
I cut off my hand to heal the nations.
Listen, Thomas, she and I have been working real hard
to get you out of here,
because we know you're miserable here.
But if you start spouting that Bible nonsense in that hearing
instead of answering their questions directly
you're gonna be stuck here at Hatch,
eating beetles in your dinner
or whatever you wanna call it. Lisa: Dominick, that's enough.
Hold on, I think, I think we should give it to him straight.
Hey, man. Thomas, you listening to me?
You gotta lay off the Bible bullshit
when you're talking to these review board honchos.
And if they ask you if you regret what you did in that library,
you tell them yes.
And then and then if they ask anything Where's Dessa, anyway?
Where is she? What happened to her?
Don't, no, don't get into that, man.
You know what happened to Dessa. We're divorced.
Listen, if they go on
Thomas: They had a baby daughter and she died. If they say something
She's my niece.
And Dessa let me hold her.
Dominick: Stop it. Stop that.
We have to talk about this hearing.
She's gonna tell you what to say and what not to say
so you can get out of here, you understand?
Thomas: Dessa's my friend. God damn it, listen to me.
She's my friend whether she's married to Dominick or not.
Lisa: Yeah. You're still her friend.
Thomas, what are you gonna say when they ask you about your hand?
Thomas: I'm gonna tell 'em the truth. Lisa: Okay, good.
And what's the truth, Thomas?
That I sacrificed my hand to prevent Armageddon.
And it would, it would have worked,
but they sequestered me here to silence me.
They'd be at the peace table right now
if war wasn't so profitable.
They're torturing me here.
Dominick: Calm fucking down.
You're gonna freak out in here, don't do it.
We gotta get you out of here.
You have a hearing. They put snakes in my bed.
Dominick: Calm fucking down. They...
They put razor blades in my coffee.
Oh my Calm down.
Thomas, calm down. They put their elbows in my throat.
I'm unclean, Dominick.
They have keys, they rape me.
They rape me... Dominick: Okay.
: They they come into my cell and they rape me.
They rape me. Come here.
I'm unclean. Thomas.
She's good. Her and Dr. Gandhi are nice to me.
Officer: You need to be five feet from the patient, sir.
No physical contact with the patient, sir.
Lisa: I'll take responsibility, Pete. Sir.
Lisa: Just give 'em a minute. Just give 'em a minute, please.
Lisa: Okay? One minute.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
I'm gonna get you out of here. I swear, I'm gonna get you out of here.
Thomas: Please don't be mad at me, Dominick.
Dominick, please don't be mad at me.
I'm sorry, please don't be mad.
You better fuckin' explain to me what happened.
I finally I wrote my English paper,
and then, I went to go type it,
and I couldn't find the key to the typewriter.
Jesus Christ.
Thomas: I waited, and I waited for you.
I never know where you are anymore.
Fuckin', I don't even have a roommate.
Hey, don't fucking blame this on me.
Thomas: And then, I, I started to think that, that you,
you wanted me to fail because you want me to flunk out
because you, you, you...
you don't want me here anymore because you wanna be alone.
I do not. Because you want your own life
because you don't want to be with me anymore.
Thomas, you're gonna flunk out.
You're gonna break Ma's heart.
Thomas, if you flunk out, you could end up
in fuckin' Vietnam, get your head blown off.
Dominick, can you please
can you please type my paper for me?
I'llI'll buy you a new typewriter case.
II just have to get my paper in by 7:00 a.m.
Dominick: Why would I type your paper for you?
Because of my hands.
They won't stop shaking.
But mymy teacher, she won't give me an inch.
If I get this paper in at 7:01, she probably won't accept it.
She's out to get me, I think.
Hey, can you calm down, man?
Dominick: Calm down!
Hey. Calm down.
Dominick: I could have whaled into him for what he'd done.
Please calm down.
For what he'd failed to do all year long.
But as angry as I was...
I felt scared, too.
I got him calmed down, yeah.
I'd type the stupid paper, I told him.
It was an essay about the theme
of alienation in modern literature.
A patchwork of Cliff Notes and bullshit
that contained no specifics and made no sense.
Its rambling sentences went off in a dozen different directions
and never came back.
The handwriting was unrecognizable.
That paper scared me more even than his behavior.
But I typed what he'd written,
fixing up things here and there.
And hoping against hope that his teacher
would find something coherent in what he'd put together.
Professor: Hello.
I hope this taught you a lesson in personal management.
It has. It defdefinitely has.
Get some sleep, Thomas.
Thank you, ma'am.
Joy: Hi. Dominick: How you doin'?
Okay, how are you?
Hey.
Oh, I made you dinner.
Here. I didn't know you were gonna be home.
Wow. It's chicken.
But, um...
It's a little it's been sitting out for a while,
so sit down, and then...
This might not be the best chicken
you've ever had in your life,
but I'veI've never made this before.
Chicken... pi pic piccata.
Italian, you know?
Dominick: Italian. Yep.
Made for you. It's Italian chicken.
I don't think the chicken is Italian itself.

So excited.
I didn't tape any of it.

I started out in Athens.
Wow.
That's Athens?
Dessa: Isn't that amazing?
Dominick: What is that? Another boat?
Dessa: That's Santorini.
: Hey.
Dessa: Hi.
I missed you.
Dominick: I missed you so much.
Dessa: Hey.
Have you been able to remember her without
feeling like you were gonna get punched in the stomach.
I'm not there yet.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Dominick: Okay. Dessa: Okay.
I'm sorry.
Dessa: Did you? Dominick: Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's been a long time, I guess.
I'm so scared.
Dominick: Why?
No, it's okay, baby.
You don't have to worry about it.
You're not gonna get pregnant.
I took care of it.
What are you talking about? I took care of it all.
Can't get you won't get pregnant.
What are you talking about?
I got snipped.
It's gonna be okay.
