Bloodline

Go back to sleep.

Are you sure?

Shh... Shh...

Shh... Shh....

Shh... Shh...

Shh... Shh... It's okay, Andrew.

Daddy's here.

How's your mom doing, Ray?

Okay.

- What about your dad? - What about him?

- Do you want to talk about how things have been

since he's been out?

No.

Was it worth it?

I could recommend that they not suspend you,

but you gotta promise me this is the last time.

Do you even want to finish high school?

Eat a dick.

What about your uncle?

Has he been around since the last time we talked?

Kelly?

He thinks you'll get the scholarship?

- What can I say, Mr. C? I'm good at math.

Wow. That's great, Chris.

What does your mom say?

- Eh, it's hard for her, you know?

Without my dad being around,

and she doesn't really have anyone else,

so having me at home, well...

It's a comfort.

Yeah.

I don't want to leave her alone.

- Well, she has to see that this is the best thing for you.

This is your chance.

I know, I know, it's...

What if I go and she's just...?

You know, or, um...

uh, I can't handle the workload, or...

all the rich kids hate me.

- None of that's gonna happen, okay?

If you want, I can come to your house and talk to your mom.

- Can you? - For you, I can.

Thanks, Mr. C,

but I'll handle it myself.

Uh...

Here.

It was really good.

Glad you liked it.

How was he today?

Busy.

Look.

Holy shit.

Ohh.

My mom called earlier.

She offered to come stay after the baby's born.

Let's see, okay?

I want to try this on our own.

- | just wanted you to know it was an option.

Ohh.

Sweetheart?

Honey.

Ohh. Ohh.

Evan!

You're doing great, baby.

- You might want to come over here, Dad.

Okay, Mom, ready?

Push. Push.

Push. Push. Push.

Push. Push. Push.

Push. Push. Push.

Push. Push. Push

Hello. Hello, sir.

Welcome to the world.

- Hello, my loves. - Mom, you made it.

There he is!

Ohh! Isn't he beautiful?

- Marie! You need to wash your hands.

- Oh! Of course. I'm sorry, sweetheart.

And how's Mom doing?

Great.

Look at this big boy.

How much does he weigh? - Seven and a half pounds.

- Seven pounds, five ounces, actually.

Evan was nine pounds.

That was quite the labor.

But he was so calm, never made a peep.

Ohh. Shh...

There you go.

Shh.

Shh, Shh, shh, shh, Shh.

Shh.

Ow.

Not like that. Here.

- Nurse, may I suggest being a little more gentle?

This is their first baby.

- Ma'am, may I suggest you let me do my job?

Because if she can't feed him, the baby'll lose

too much weight, and then we'll have to intervene.

There. Like that.

Well, she's quite the charmer.

Evan, honey...

Why don't I go pick up some food for everyone, hmm?

Everything is going to be fine, sweetheart, you'll see.

And if you need me to come and stay for a while,

you know there's nothing I'd rather do.

That's okay, Marie.

I think we'll manage on our own.

- Yeah, thanks, Mom, we got this.

Hmm.

Hi, Andrew.

This is your dad.

First of all, many congratulations on being born.

It looked painful, and a little disgusting.

But you made it. Well done.

I thought we could take this opportunity

to have a little chat, mano a mano.

I will never hurt you.

I will neverjudge you.

And I will never leave you.

I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to you.

Shh.

- Should we try a bottle? - No.

If we give him the bottle,

he won't go back to breastfeeding.

- Okay, sweetheart. - Shh.

Can I help?

- Not unless you can grow a pair of tits.

I'll get right on that.

Come on, Andrew, come on.

He's not gaining weight.

Why won't you let me help you?

Here, baby.

...kill you, you little shit!

Get the fuck away from him.

Evan, go to your room.

- l'm-- I'm sorry, Marie. I didn't-- I didn't mean to.

Get out.

- You know I didn't mean it, right, Evan?

- I promise you, I will kill you if you don't leave immediately.

You're okay, sweetheart, everything's gonna be okay.

Mother's here. Shh.

Shh.

: You're okay, sweetheart.

Everything is okay.

Shh...

Shh. Shh.

- I hope you don't mind, I let myself in.

- Let me know if it gets too cold at night.

I will, clear.

Thank you.

How are you doing, Evan?

- I'm good. I'm always good, Mom.

Sit.

Tell me.

I'm okay, really.

But Lauren...

It's hard for new mothers.

How can you take care of her and Andrew,

if you don't take care of yourself?

It's okay, my darling.

Everything is going to be okay.

Mother's here.

Mr. C?

Hey. You okay?

Sorry, buddy.

Baby isn't really sleeping. It's just, um...

Just is what it is. You know?

What's going on with your dad? Any news?

Oh, um...

For Andrew.

Wow, Chris.

You know you didn't have to.

- After everything you've done for me?

Yeah, I did.

- So, has there been any word from your dad?

Um...

Try to get some sleep, okay?

: [hope you can understand, man.

I don ’t think you know what it’s like.

You know, [lost my job,

l was drinkin'.

You know how it is, right, man?

When your wife '3 screaming at you,

and your kids start mouthing off.

So I just hit 'em. And I kept hitting ’em.

It was like something broke inside and I couldn't stop.

I really didn 't mean to hurt anyone. Please, man.

I never meant to hurt anyone.
