Safe Harbour

We could make some sandwiches.

l'm not really hungry.

You need to eat.

There's still some salad left from last week.

l'll have that.

Are you gonna eat?

No, l'm not really that hungry, either.

l guess l'm gonna take Moussey out again.

Well, stay close. lt's getting late.

Come on, Mousse.

Come here.

How do you draw the boats if they aren't really there?

l imagine them.

You like to draw?

Sometimes.

l can draw my dog.

Would you like to try?

So what's your dog's name?

Mousse.

Moose? He doesn't look like a Moose?

lt's a dessert. lt's French.

Mousse chocolate, just like him.

So you speak French?

Yes. My mom's French.

Well, that's good, really.

lt's very good.

Can l show you a little trick with the legs?

l always have trouble with the legs.

Okay, look.

Draw a little line like that...

and then draw an imaginary line right above it.

And then bring the lower legs down.

See how it makes it look like he's walking?

Like that. Here, you try.

That's awesome.

You're an awesome artist.

You're an artist, too.

Oh, Pip.

Come on, sweetheart.

Oh, let's move you over here.

Come on.

Yeah.

So, what have you been doing to distract yourself out here?

Just escaping, nothing, that's it?

That's what l need right now.

Well, it's been over a year.

l think that's enough time for some signs of life.

Washing your hair might be good for a start.

l still feel like l'm floating around in space...

and l'm so guilty about Pip.

She's a solid kid.

William.

But you're right. Sooner or later...

you are gonna have to move front and center...

especially once you move back home...

with all those memories waiting.

l can't think about that now.

l can't.

l have group tomorrow.

l don't know how much it helps, but--

Oh, yeah, a roomful of grief-stricken people--nice.

You know, the facilitator seems very skilled.

Uh, Blake Thompson.

Blake Single?

l just thought maybe he could help you move things forward.

l think maybe you should go check on William.

l think l should go check on the surfers.

l know l'm late. lt's just the traffic was bad.

l'm sorry.

lt's okay. Just keep an eye on Pip.

l don't want her wandering off.

Je t'aime.

Hi, is Mark home?

So it seems to me as if you're saying...

you don't have any goals.

No. l do have a goal.

Um, l want to do something for my daughter, for Pip.

l want to be connected with her again.

l don't know. lt sounds so simple, but--

Maybe the best way to do something for Pip...

is to do something for yourself.

That's an excellent thought.

And if l may, l'd like to make a suggestion.

The Wexler Center.

They run some terrific assistance programs...

for the homeless.

They could use you, and it would give you...

some really positive structure later...

when the summer's over...

and the time comes to return home.

Mousse! Come here!

Mousse!

Hi.

Hi, yourself. How are you and Mousse?

We're fine.

What have you been up to?

My godmother came to visit with William, her baby.

He's really cute.

He doesn't have a father.

Well, that's too bad. Why is that?

l'm not sure.

Andrea never talks to me about it.

But l heard her tell Mom...

she got him from some kind of weird bank.

l see.

This is really good, by the way.

Are you hungry?

No, thank you.

My mom doesn't eat.

She's really thin.

Well, how come? She been sick?

No, just sad.

lt's because my dad's plane crashed.

He died, and my brother.

They both died.

lt exploded.

Half our family's gone.

Where have you been?

For a walk with Moussey, and now we're starved.

Oh, l'm sorry. l forgot to go to the store.

We'll go out and get something to eat later.

Oh.

These are very good.

lt's fun to draw.

l know a trick to do Moussey's back legs.

Oh. Yes, it's very good.

How did you learn that?

Well, l haven't completely learned it.

l could still get better.

l'm going to go lie down for a while.

That's my house right over there.

Wow. lt's beautiful.

Why are you watching my daughter?

Just making sure she's safe.

She's a lovely girl.

You must be very proud.

She's lovely? And what exactly does that mean?

Are you aware that she is only eleven years old?

Uh, yes. She told me, Mrs. Mackenzie.

You've spoken with her?

Mom, this is Matt.

Matt Bowles.

l told you never to talk to strangers, never.

- He's my friend! - Go. Go to your room!

There are names for this sort of thing...

very ugly names.

You stay away from her, or l will call the police.

l just saw him drawing. He's a good person.

You don't know anything about him.

He's a stranger.

Pip, did he ever ask you to go to his house?

He doesn't wanna kill me!

He just showed me how to draw Mousse's back legs.

He's my friend, and you were horrible to him.

l want you to stay away from him.

l forbid you to leave this house without a grown-up.

Good.

l'll just lock myself in my room forever like you.

Pip?

Pip!

l am off to the post office as we speak.

Surely, his mug shot is posted up there...

with the top ten most wanted.

lt's not a joking matter.

Who knows what his intentions are?

He has no business befriending a little girl.

She is a total innocent.

Boy, leave it to Pip to get you all worked--

Actually, it sounds quite promising.

Well, she put herself at great risk...

and she knows better, too.

Ophelie, she's lonely.

l know, but l don't know what to do about it.

Chad's gone. Her father is gone.

l'm a basket case.

lf anything ever happened to her, l--

No!

No! She absolutely cannot be friends...

with some strange man that she met on the beach!

Oh, my God. He's here.

l'll--l'll call you back.

Bye.

Mrs. Mackenzie, l am really very sorry...

and l regret if l've caused you any distress.

Goodbye.

Pip?

When you're ready to talk, l am, too.

Matt!

Matt!

Come for coffee!

She wants you to!

She's sorry.

She--Ow!

Hang on. Hang on.

Let me see. Let me see.

Ouch!

l locked myself in my my room and refused to come out.

She was so rude to you.

l'm sorry.

She's different than she used to be.
