Edge of Isolation

Eat!

Baby?

Babe, are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, it was just a dream.

- You're sweating, are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, dinner's ready.

Alright, cool.

Alright, hurry up, get changed.

This looks great, honey.

Happy birthday.

Hooray, I'm officially old.

30 is not old.

Let's see how you feel about that

a couple years from now when you turn 30.

- Are you gonna be this grumpy all weekend?

No, I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

Ah, I know that face, what's wrong Super Hulk?

It's stupid.

Tell me, I like stupid stuff.

I told you about my birth mother

and how every year at this time

I feel like she's gonna find me.

You know, she's just waiting to surprise me.

I don't know,

I just feel like turning 30

that makes the dream seem more and more impossible.

Maybe that's a good thing.

Why?

- Your adoptive parents love you, I love you.

When you finally knock me up, our children will love you.

You have so much love from the people

that exist in your life that maybe it's okay

to leave this illusion of your mother behind.

30 could be a great new chapter in your life.

What do you mean?

- Well you know, you could go back to school.

Maybe get a career.

- (laughing) Imagine me going back to school.

I know math.

Yeah.

Hold it right there, turn around.

What do you got there?

Garbage.

You live here?

For six months now.

Let's see what's in the bag.

Trash.

Alright.

What's your name?

Lance O'Brien.

Unit number?

99.

You have a nice night.

Mmhmm.

- You know you have other shirts you can pack.

I sure do.

You cannot pack the gun this time.

Don't be crazy.

What if we need it?

Haven't ever needed it.

Please?

It's my birthday.

It's your birthday today,

tomorrow, just another camping day.

- You know the damn thing makes me nervous.

Oh, you're so white!

No, no if I was white I'd love guns.

But, however, I'm not.

Those things have killed thousands of my people.

- A result of poverty and lack of education,

not the color of your skin.

And it doesn't only concern black people.

Just admit that your WASPy parents

just drilled this fear of gun into you.

God.

So what?

They wanted me to be safe.

It's certainly better than rollin' with the homies at 14.

That's not safe.

At least they taught me about life.

I can hold my own in any situation.

What are you gonna do when we get attacked by a wolf, huh?

Huh, what your gonna do, what you got?

- I'll show you. - What you got?

What you got big boy? - Step back and I'll show you.

Step back.

Kick it in the face.

You're such a dork.

Alright, alright.

All safe.

Alright.

This was my last thing, I'm all set.

Now, to your last present.

Da, da, da, da, da.

Would you like some more, darling?

Please.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Kendra.

My leg!

Jesus Christ.

What are you doing?

Just a bit of work.

Bad dreams?

Yeah.

- I really think you should talk to somebody about this.

You've been having a lot of bad dreams lately.

I can handle it.

- I'm sorry, I just, I gotta put this brief together

and then I'm gonna be free for the rest of the weekend.

No!

Just an hour, I promise.

It's actually a really interesting case.

So this guy, he embezzled $250K from the company.

Cut and dry, right?

Huh, no.

His boss left a paper trail that we were...

Alright, I know we said we were gonna do

this together tomorrow morning,

but why don't you choose a really nice

camping site for us, somewhere near water.

Isolated, I wanna swim naked this time.

The turn should be coming up.

There it is.

Whoo! (laughs)

How long since we got off the highway?

About seven and a half miles.

Okay, so a little bit farther

and then the turnoff should be on your left.

Oh, nice.

You really got us out into

the middle of nowhere this time.

- Well, I had to see you swim naked in the river.

Babe, could you grab me a water?

Shit!

Come on, baby, wake up.

We need to get him to a hospital.

Oh, that's near impossible up here.

We don't have a vehicle or nothing.

Anyway, he's just got a little bump

on the noggin', same as you.

I hope so.

Why don't you just let him rest, dear?

Let me show you something.

As I was saying, my name is Mary and our home is your home.

Now, me and my husband Ivan sleep in that room

and most everybody else sleeps out here, except for Vlad.

He's got his own shack out back.

Oh, he gets his own place.

I guess he's pretty special.

- Oh, yes, Vlad is going to be the next leader.

He needs his own place to prepare.

Come on, follow me, come on.

This is the kitchen.

This is my stove.

This is my favorite pot.

- Sounds like you spend a lot of time in here.

Oh, definitely. (laughs)

I like your dress.

Why, thank you!

Had it 40 years! (laughs)

Still looks like new.
