Hey you!

Freeze!
He's here!
Want a piece?
Katie's sister, she's coming for Christmas.
Her husband is this big-shot plumber, always buying her jewellery,
but her sister is always showing it off
and throwing it on Katie's face, you know?
Well, guess what?
It's payback time.
Almost two karats.
From Zambia.
That's why there's a yellow.
See the yellow?
Yellow's good.
Beautiful.
I hate that dick.
GPS confirmed, suspect is on the move. Do you copy?
That's him.
Damn! He's on the move!
Cut him on the way!
Get out of the van now!
John, get out of the way!
Breen, I'm all right.
You're OK?
I'm good.
Officer down, Starvil 252.
Stay there.
Oh, shit.
Fight it.
Fight it.
Look at me. Fight it.
You gotta go.
You gotta...
Thirty days modified duty?
It's a long time to be off the job.
Yeah.
But the doctor cleared me for return, so...
I'm not talking about your arm, John.
Put in your twenty.
More pension.
If I was you, I'd hang it up.
See?
Good as new.
Like I said, just making sure.
No, no, finish your drink.
- Relax. - Thanks.
Teena McGuire.
Her husband worked for Good Year.
Lay-off hits, four or five years ago?
Boom! Cancer.
No insurance, six year old girl.
The guy's gone in two months.
Hey!
Hey babe! What is it?
Hey Brad, you got a job yet?
There's food in there.
Make it!
OK, wait til I come home and I'll make it.
- No, no-one's going home. - I gotta go.
- I gotta go. Yeah. - No you don't!
This is our night!
- Come on. - I can't.
One drink!
- One. - Alright.
Still love you.
What are you gonna do?
Her boyfriend is going over the Falls tonight.
The dick that barfed the beer on our car.
Oh God! I wish that were true!
My mum took Bethie to the movies.
One night.
One...
night.
Free from the hell of fourth grade math and I get ditched.
Gosh! Sure, why not?
Thanks for asking.
I'm Marteen McGuire.
Friends call me Teena.
Now you say your name.
John Dromoor.
Is this girl a psychic?
I don't meet a lot
of real life heroes.
Seriously.
It's an honor.
That was back in April.
Yeah, sure, a whole month ago.
Who remembers?
You...
Crooked smile.
I like that.
Let's get another drink.
No, no!
I got this.
Mike!
Hey, man. Two more.
My mum wants us to move in with her.
Marteen! Lung cancer, the cigarette!
Marteen! A ten-year old needs stability.
Yeah, we would save money, but...
I don't know, we're doing OK.
Pretty stable.
Jesus! Living with my mother?
Could be worse.
Hey, yikes!
I gotta go pick her up.
You know, you could...
You could call me if you want. You're a good listener.
We'll have to work on the talking part.
- I'd like to. - Yeah, me too.
I want you to know...
You're gonna shut me down just like that?
No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
No...
I'm...
I'm a...
a widower.
So, we understand each other.
Maybe so.
John Dromoor.
My new friend.
What's up?
Hey!
Hey, Teena!
Hey!
This is amazing!
You have a barbecue?
Bethie, you're missing it.
Don't let your mum see you.
It's fine.
She also didn't know
I snuck this.
You little thief.
Look at that!
It's awesome.
I like the rainbow.
Seriously?
No.
I'm good.
Butt-head.
How long's your mum been seeing Casey?
I don't know.
A while, I guess?
I can see why he likes her.
Bethie?
Bethel Anne McGuire, you get down right now or you'll break your neck!
Now, damn it! I got this now!
Mum! I'm not gonna fall!
Bethie! Now! Thank you, Casey! I have this!
Now!
Jesus! What am I... five?
Hey.
Last piece? Saved it just for you.
It's mine.
I can't.
You're right.
You'll let the ice-cream melting to the crust.
I'm sorry I yelled.
Hey, handsome!
Ain't no kiss?
Bethie, baby,
time to be back.
It's late, why don't you guys just stay over?
Come on, Case.
I got some Sponge Bobs loaded on the iPad.
Bethie hasn't seen him.
I ain't done with you but it's a long shot.
I still got some moves.
We could stay, mum.
See? Gotta load it.
We have breakfast at Grandma's, 8 a.m. sharp.
Are you sure?
- They're playing our song. - Again?
I'll run you home.
No, we're gonna walk. You shouldn't drink and drive.
It's late! Come on, I'll take you in five minutes.
It's a beautiful night.
Tuesday she's at my mum's, don't forget.
Call you in the morning.
Oh, no.
Oh, Mike's telling this dream...
I'd love to...
Oh no, really?
Why is my purse so heavy?
Hey?
Must be sweet having such a great mum.
You know, when you were a baby,
your father used to take you out on long walks around here.
You always took your dolls. You had to have them.
I hate dolls.
Hey.
Sweetie?
Wait!
Bethie.
What is it? You don't mind me talking about your Dad?
Actually,
I don't like you treating me
like I'm an infant.
