A Stone in the Water

- -

Miss Comstock, the boy.

We need to stop Jake.

You've been saying that a while now.

I mean it.

You're all the same.

I mean it Jake, we're done.

You mean until next time?

No done, like we never started.

But we did,

and we wouldn't want a certain somebody

to find out about it.

How would that happen?

I don't know.

Loose lips.

That's headed this way.

It's headed to my place.

Don't, please baby, die.

No, let me do it.

Tommy, Tommy, come on baby talk to me.

Talk to me.

Okay, okay, we got it.

Tommy, come on baby, talk to me.

How'd he get in the pond?

I thought you were watching him?

No, I was in the fields.

You were supposed to come get him.

Tommy.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, talk to me, baby.

Tommy?

Come on.

Tommy, baby.

Please, don't.

It has nothing to do with you, Grace.

Please Martha, you promised.

He did this, right?

I forgive you, Grace.

But I can't forgive him.

I know about you and grace.

She told me everything.

Everything, huh?

Enough.

She tell you what it's like to be married

to a church mouse with a shoe-leather pussy?

When Tommy was drowning, you were screwing my best friend

when you should've been here with him.

Our son may never even learn to read.

What do you want me to do about that?

You put it on me, you sick son of a bitch.

You got a retarded child, go tend to him.

May God have mercy on you, Jake.

If God had any mercy,

he would have left that boy in the water.

What the fuck?

- -

- -

I feel sick.

Where are we going?

Brother's, a couple hours from here.

The ex con?

He's got a place we can stay.

Loser.

What'd you say?

Another loser.

You two have something in common.

You were lucky.

I hear your horn.

Drive too fast.

Tom.

Alex.

Thank you.

There was a man driving, you didn't see him?

Maybe he fall in the river.

Jesus.

I need to go look for him.

Can't go out now.

Storm is bad.

You rest now, okay?

We'll look for him tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

Ok...

Hey, where are you going?

My mom friend house.

Don't you have a car?

Stay here, I come back soon.

I'm Alex, thank you so much for coming.

Are you okay?

Yeah, but my friend was with me

and I need to find him.

I'm grace, get in the car, we'll go.

Jesus, you carried me all this way?

I walk through the woods, it's not so far.

Well, it looks like you're going have to take the bus home.

I think your friend gone.

I'm sorry.

It's chilly, let's go to my house for coffee.

His mom is visiting her sister,

but she'll be back tonight.

The service in this house is really bad.

You'd have better luck with the landline.

Hi, this is Vi, I can't talk right now, bye.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I should go.

Well, what about your friend?

He lucked out.

He called someone and they came and got him.

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

You said there's a bus station?

Oh yeah, in town.

We'll get your stuff.

It's a good thing, Tommy was out there.

I didn't hear a thing.

What's wrong with him?

Fell in pond when he was little, almost died.

But he does just fine.

He looks after both our places.

What about his father?

Oh, he took off ages ago.

Stupid piece of shit.

Who takes care of him?

His mom and me.

We've been friends forever,

through the best and the worst of it.

Is there anything I can do to thank him?

Oh, don't make a fuss.

We keep to ourselves.

If you want to catch that bus we got to go.

So how long have you been working behind the bar?

Doing this?

Uh, wow, Since I was like five.

Yeah, I took a class in Montessori.

Hey, what's up?

Where's Alex?

She didn't show up.

She didn't even call.

I think that she had this thing

that came up with her boyfriend.

Bree, please don't fire her, please.

Not until we figure out what happened?

What happened?

Have you seen Frank?

No.

Where's your car.

Wrecked.

Okay, let me take you home.

No.

I can't.

You see this?

What's this?

He was a fence, shop was a front.

I know this guy, Frank used

to sell him all of his gambling take.

Yeah, a lot of stuff that was hot too.

They were partners for awhile.

But lately it wasn't going to well.

That ones worth at least three K.

Maybe if it wasn't hot, best I can do is 900.

Last week Frank heard a rumor

that he took in a big haul of diamonds

and gold, some inside job in L.A.

So Tuesday Frank arranged for me

to stop by his place after he closed.

Jason?

You there?

Around back, come to the gate.

Hey.

Something wrong?

No, it's, I've never been down here before.

It's just a place, for special people.

Um...

Frank wanted you to hold on to these.

He's off playing pool somewhere

and he didn't want them around the house.

So where'd they come from?

I don't know.
