Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi

Death.

What is it?

I believe that death is a doorway.

A door to a better place

where we can see everything and everyone.

A place where time is lost.

And that love,

it envelopes us... us all.

Marty Hubbard,

he didn't believe in God in the traditional sense.

Marty thought that when you died...

your energy within you

just moves on to other energies in the universe.

That was Marty's version of God.

I think it's important that we embrace

the idea that there's more to life

than what you can touch and what you can see.

It's ok Marty, we got the message.

It's ok folks, stay calm.

It's ok, you've had a rough week, so...

- No, no, no. - Man, stop!

Proverbs 4:24 tells us

that there is a duality to human nature

and it's an easy trap to fall into.

So let us not embrace divisiveness

but be united... in truth.

I think that's it for today.

Let me finish with saying

that it's great to see new faces,

and remind you to reach out to your friends.

You tell them that we are Catholic Plus

here at St. Martin's.

Good to see you.

Mary, it's always a pleasure.

Oh, you missed a good one, Val.

Yeah. If only I had the spare time.

The election's coming up.

Maybe I should put in a bad word for you with the voters.

You don't have the numbers.

- Mrs. Foon. - Father.

- It's a pleasure. - Mayor.

Speaking of which, how goes the recruitment track?

So long, Mrs. Roth.

It's uphill.

Yeah.

Roman.

I... I just came to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Mayor. - Roman.

And uh, I wanted to thank you for, uh,

all the help that you've given me over these years.

Uh, you know I'm not the church type.

Well, that's what neighbours are supposed to do for one another.

I wanna give you my best

for the next chapter of your life.

Roman, I mean that.

See ya.

I can't say I'm gonna be sorry to see him go.

What?

He who gives to the poor shall never want.

He who shuts his eyes,

well... brings many sorrows.

Freak!

Thanks, Doug.

So you're finally making good on that threat to leave town?

I don't blame you.

You've put up with more than most could.

For longer than most would.

The fact is people are assholes.

When they encounter something...

different, it scares them.

I don't wanna be different.

I just... I'm just...

Unique?

Yeah, sure.

I just... I wanna go to a town that's big enough that, uh,

I can be anonymous and no one gives a shit, you know?

Where unique is boring.

I am gonna miss you.

Thanks.

Aren't you gonna miss me?

A little bit I think.

Got to go.

See ya later.

Roman, you can't leave.

Who the hell am I gonna hang out with?

You're literally the only person I can talk to.

Why do you think I'm leaving?

Mrs. Foon.

Hey.

I'm actually jealous.

I'd give my right arm to leave this shit hole.

So why don't you?

You know why.

You really wanna be alone?

Well, I guess this is my stop then.

Maggie...

Maggie, come on.

Mrs. Foon.

You uh, you going to Anchorage to do some shopping?

Roman. Roman! Wake up!

Roman!

You have to get out of here now!

Go!

Mrs. Foon! Give me your hand!

Give me your hand!

So cell towers and landlines out of town are down.

The phones work locally but there's no way to call out.

We need to check the bridge for earthquake damage.

I know every person inside those body bags.

Can you walk me through what happened?

Yeah, yeah.

We were... we were driving and um...

and the bus, it lost control,

it swerved, and it... and it crashed

and I was... I was in the back. I was...

You were the nearest to the rear door?

- Yeah. Back seat, and... - Roman.

I wanna know what happened in there.

I just... I just wanna know what happened.

- Larry, go. - It's my mother in there!

Alright, get him out of here.

- Get out of here! - You should have died...

- Back ogg! Back off. - ...and not her!

Sorry for the way people treat you, Roman.

I'm ashamed of it, actually.

I tried to save Mrs. Foon.

I... I...

It's okay.

Can I get you a ride home?

No, I can't go home.

I... I was supposed to be on that bus out of here forever.

I... I let my apartment go, my bag was...

What about your mom's place? I know it's not ideal,

but it'll do the trick until the next bus comes through.

Yeah. Thank... thank you.

- Ah! - Boo.

Jesus, Maggie, you scared the crap out of me.

It comes with the territory.

What the hell is going on out there?

Huh? Did you... did you feel that earthquake?

That was no earthquake.

What? No, what do you mean, that "that was no earthquake"?

Then what was it?

Looks like I get to keep you around a little longer.

Huh.

Yeah, looks like it.

I like this place.

It has good energy.

Where are you going?

I need to check on my dad.

_

Hello?

The bar is closed!

You don't have to go home but you can't stay...

...here.

Jesus Christ, Roman! You scared the shit out of me!

I'm so sorry.

What're you doing here?

Do you guys have anything to eat?

I'm staying at my mom's place

and... and all she has is expired soup and expired green beans.

- I can... I can pay. - Oh, no, no, no.

I can wrangle you something.

Thank you.

I heard about the bus.

Jesus. You okay?

Yeah. I was, uh... I was lucky.

No shit.

So... you're staying at your mom's?

Is she ever coming back?

Hmm.

Who knows with her?

She's a free spirit.

You guys don't talk at all?

She sends Father Dan letters every once in a while

with some cash or...

you know, honestly I... I just don't give a shit.

Okay, well I'm gonna see if I can find you some real food.

Thank you.

I want every rivet and bolt checked, boys.

How's it going up there, Marty?

Looks good up here, boss.

There's no cracks, no stress on the joints.

All right. Let's get off of this heap of shit.

You don't have to ask me twice.

All right, boys, I'm pulling the plug on this.

What do you want?

Hey, Norm.

Here to turn yourself in?

Uh, no.

I... I was um, I was wondering if Sam was in?

- The sheriff? - Yeah, thanks for clarifying that.

Is he in or not, Norm?

Yes, yes, one second.

Yeah, hey, it's Norm down at the station.

Yeah, I'd like to order one pepperoni and one Hawaiian for delivery...

Sam!

- Roman, get back here! - Sam!

- Can I talk to you in private? - Uh, can it wait?
