Raven's Touch

Hi, it's Kate. Please leave a message.

Kate, I know we can work this out.

I love you. I miss you.

I miss the kids. Just please, call me back.

Return my calls.

I love this place.

You guys remember the campsite?

Look at those trees.

Isn't that pretty?

That's the stream, right over there.

- That's where we bathed you. - Move over.

It's not that hard. -There's no where to move, Maya

- you guys remember that? - Keep your stuff on your side.

Mom, will you tell him to stop?

- We are gonna have a good time. - Stop! Oh, my God!

You're such a little shit.

- Stop! - Jack!

- Act your age! - Is that a phone?

I told you, no cell phones at the campsite... Jacki it's my thing.

Jack, there is no cell service there.

Are you kidding?

- It's your fault. - Maya, you have some thinking to do.

You're getting a job!

Not interested, mom.

Tough tiddlywinks.

- "Tough tiddlywinks"? - That is not negotiable.

What's "not negotiable"?

"Negotiable"? "Negotiable"?

Jacki I'll say whatever I want, all right?

- "I'll say whatever I want." - You're the one...

- who has to get a job. - Move over. You're like, hot and sweaty.

Gross! -There's just no room. What do you want me to do?

Breathe.

Remember, breathing offers a simple moment of focus...

Breathe.

Maybe you can mind your own fucking business.

Your fucking business keeps me up all night.

- Jack! Maya. Come on. - It's so true.

- You're such a little shit. - You're a big slut!

- Shit... shit... shit... - Slut... slut... slut...

Knock it off!

- Breath... - Connects you to your strength...

And life provides opportunity...

To practice strength. Breathe...

In the moment of breath...

- Mom! Mom! - Oh, my God, mom!

- Holy shit, mom! - What the hell?

If you find yourself saying...

"No matter how hard I work...

"Or how much I accomplish...

I'm left with a sense that I have not done enough..."

Jacki! She looked crazy.

Way to go, mom.

Breath is the source of life.

It is hot.

Hey, you guys. Remember to drink water.

Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Maya, I'm serious.

God!

Katie you loved coming here with your grandpa Chet.

Hey, guys...

Remember how to put this thing up?

No, we don't.

This is the worst.

Okay.

I got this.

Is she gonna meet us here?

- What? - Angela...

No... no, honey.

Why'd she leave without saying goodbye?

- Yeah. - What really happened?

- You have got to trust me. - I heard you.

I heard. Don't lie to him.

- It's complicated. - Mom wouldn't let her say goodbye.

You know what?

Look at this...

Beautiful shelter I'm building for you.

Hand it over.

No, mom.

- That's the deal. - I didn't agree to the deal.

- Well... - Do you have an extinguisher?

Bucket of water or sand?

- Stop! Wait a minute. - These woods are a tinderbox.

Excuse me, who are you?

This is a disaster waiting to happen...

- Pack up and get up before... - Mom, what's happening?

Put that out.

What the fuck?

That was the lady we almost hit today.

Mom, are you okay?

Let's just get out of here.

- What? - You're seriously gonna let that crazy bitch tell us what to do?

Watch your language!

Get the flashlights.

Wait, so are we going home?

Hey there.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

My name's Joe day.

I live just down the road.

- Hi, I'm Kate. Nice to meet you. - Likewise.

I stopped by because...

I think you may have meta friend of mine...

Blond...

Wild-eyed.

Quite the welcoming committee last night.

Ma'am, I just...

Want to be sure she didn't frighten you off.

She can get kind of enthusiastic at times.

Well, it was a bit of a surprise,

- but we're fine. - Good.

These are my kids. This is Jack, Maya.

- Jack... - Hey.

- Pick a card. Any card. - Okay.

And he takes the top card.

Really?

Nice, butthead.

It's good.

I for one am glad you're here.

I hope to see you around town, all right?

And if you...

Get hungry, you might try be

it's good food.

Hey, mister.

- You want your card back? - Oh, no.

You keep it, son.

I got 51 more.

You need change?

No. Thanks.

- Okay, see you next week. - Hey, Andy!

- How's it going, Joe? - Pretty darn grand, kid.

She spoke.

Finally.

Raven.

Guess who.

You can't just chase those people off that land, ray.

Chet gave 'em permission to camp there in perpetuity.

Did Chet give 'em permission to start a wildfire?

I do not know what you thought you'd accomplish by going out there like some maniac,

but you were way out of line, ray.

Way out of line, girl.

What if something happens to those kids?

Ray...

Ray...

You've been up here for a month...

That garbage out Th ere is starting to attract guests.

Now you meet me in town on Thursday.

I'm not ready.

Well...

You're gonna miss a lot.

New paint job on the fire station...

Old miss Johnson's got a Walker now.

What happened to her?

Well, as I understand it, she was feeling poorly...

And decided to end it all by shooting herself.

What?

She even called

doc hoover to get the exact location of the heart,

and he told her it was exactly two inches below the left nipple.

So after she got off the phone,

she...

Loaded her husband's service revolver...

Took careful aim,

pulled the trigger,

blew off her left knee cap.

Fuck you.

- That's more like it. - I hate you.

We were at the circus, and she was about three,

and...

This bald guy sits down in front of us, and

before you know it she's got her hands in his head,

and she's rubbing and patting it, laughing.

She was so full of mischief and love and fun.

She was my light, Joe.

You do know it's okay to be sad, right?

You can't hide out here forever, ray.

You just can't.

Thursday...

You meet me in town.

Come on, we'll have lunch at beilley's.

Oh, shit.

I'm such a jerk.

How are you doing?

Every day above ground, buddy.

That's a good day.

Do you want company at the clinic?

No, no.

What can I do for you?

You know what you can do for me.

You can take good care of my baby there...

And you can cool it...

With those folks out at Chet's.

I'll.

I'm raven.

I'm Kate.

- This ls Jack, Maya. - Hi.

I'm sorry about the fire.

You can't have a fire, but you can have water.

These... these rocks are scarred now,

but if you put 'em in the stream bed, the water might clean them up eventually.

Okay.

Thank you.
