NARRATOR: Funny how we come into this world, how we first see it.
The wonder and the splendor.
We see it all, all of it.
And then we get in the way of it.
Ambition, fear, loss, control.
We lose it.
And in losing it, we lose ourselves.
And each other.
But sometimes, sometimes, we're given a chance.
And a little help to see it again.
To see it all again.
[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
BULLY: Hey, check it out.
The Special Olympics must be here.
[LAUGHS]
Hey.
What's up, retard?
How you been, man?
We missed you.
Where'd you get this old thing, the dump?
Hey.
Hey, where you going?
You guys want to get him?
Let's go.
Get back here!
KID: Hey, come on!
BULLY: [MUFFLED] You can run, but you can't hide.
KID: [MUFFLED] Come on.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
WOMAN: At this rate, the village will be dead before we are.
MAN: The village will survive, sister.
There's always hope in the end.
WOMAN: But there's no hope for these little hooligans.
Oh, come on now.
Didn't our parents used to say the same about
us when we were kids?
But some of the things those children say.
And that little one doesn't talk at all.
He just stares.
The little one?
I'm talking about the odd one.
Just moved into the Harpers' place a few weeks ago.
You know the one.
His mother lets him run wild all hours of the day.
And I haven't seen either one of them
at mass, though that doesn't stop her from helping herself
at our canned food drive.
It's been a pleasure, ladies, as always.
And don't forget about the meeting later, OK?
So long, ladies.
Take care.
[RATTLES]
Hey.
What are you doing back there?
How did you get in here?
Wait now, that's not yours, is it?
Hand it over.
It doesn't belong to you.
You can't just take it, not without permission.
I'm not going to ask again.
Come here.
Off you go.
Go on now.
And don't come in here again without a grownup.
Great.
Busted my camera.
Hey, wait!
Wait.
Wait, young man.
Why didn't you say this belonged to you?
Tommy.
Is that your name?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Oh, good.
Well, young sir, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot
back there, but I, uh--
I think what we have here is a case of mistaken identity.
See, I have one just like it.
Well, you got a sticky shutter here.
What do you say we take a closer look,
see if we can get the old girl snapping again.
Would you like that?
My name's Eric.
It's a pleasure to have a fellow photographer here at Jasper's.
Well, come on now.
Great.
Good man.
My wife and I arrived here back in 1978.
My sweet Rose.
Bless her soul.
Saw the magic in this place.
So we bought it and set up our little shop, a suitcase, a
toolbox, a wing, and a prayer.
And these, these are all my--
my old friends.
Mamma mia.
C2-20.
See?
Just like yours.
Now, what sort of photos do you like to take?
What you got there?
Ooh, maps, huh?
Where's this at?
Oh, I see.
This must be Jasper's Rock.
Near your hotspot.
Secret locations where you like to take photographs.
It's jammed.
Has it always been like this?
Always, huh?
Oh.
Ooh.
So these-- these are drawings of the photos
you'd like to take if your camera was working, that is.
Well-- well, you picked some really cool spots, young man.
You know, photographers are kind of like artists who draw.
Except instead of lead pencils, we use light and shadow.
Now, while I get to work on this,
you're going to be needing a spare, won't you?
We can't have our village photographer without a camera
now, can we?
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah.
You know how to use this, right?
I know you'll take good care of her.
And remember, great photographers
think before they click.
You only have 12 exposures.
So make sure each and every frame counts.
Bring me your film when you're done.
We'll find out what that eye of yours can see.
Well, what's that?
[CHUCKLES]
Nice to meet you, Oscar.
You're welcome.
But it's getting late.
I'm sure your folks will be wondering where you are.
Come on, let's go.
Don't forget your book.
I could see the smoke from my house.
It was like a Viking funeral.
And Bobo?
Bobo was fine.
What, you think his boat spontaneously combusted
or something?
For all we know, he probably took out a fire insurance
policy on that old bucket.
Well, if that's the case, this next round ought to be on him,
not me.
MAN 1: We appreciate you.
Thanks, brother.
- Hey. - Another round, Manny?
Yes, please.
MAN 2: Did you see how far the market rate went down for crab
today? - Yeah.
It's no wonder when the whole town can get
them from your sister for free.
The stones on this kid.
Hey, do you want to speak geologically?
By the look of the new girl's ring here,
she's got bigger rocks than both of you.
Grab me again and I will break your arm.
MAN 2: Whoa.
It was a joke.
Little touchy, ain't she, D?
Sorry, guys.
Just showing her the ropes.
So I've been talking to some folks.
I think they can help us.
What folks?
They're called the Siren Group.
They're a bunch of real estate investors.
Are you talking about that property down by the docks?
Are you sure that's the best thing we can build down there?
Yeah. Location, location, location.
It's the best seat in the house. - I don't know, Dermot.
If you get your way and this thing goes through,
it's like Jasper's Cove doesn't belong to the people
who live there anymore.
It's like we're giving up on ourselves or something.
You sound like my pops.
Speaking of Frank--
Look, I'll take care of him.
Just-- you got me on this?
You got my back?
Please?
Fine.
Just do me a favor.
Do me the goddamn courtesy of getting me
drunk before you bend me over.
I can do that.
[GLASSES CLINK]
[BEEPS]
Are you good to lock up? - Yeah, I'm good.
Great.
You've been here, what, five, six weeks?
Yeah, something like that.
You like it?
Mm-hm.
Good.
So most people your age are moving out,
they're not moving in.
So when we see a fresh face around here,
we kind of like to keep 'em around.
Become part of the community.
What, you want me to be nicer to customers?
Call them hon, sugar?
Just show some interest.
Most of the guys are family men.
And you know, you have a kid, right?
- Yeah. - All right.
Start there.
All right.
Are you good for the delivery in the morning?
Yeah, I'll be here.
DERMOT: Great.
Goodnight.
Osc, I'm home.
Hey, sweetie.
Hey.
How was your day?
Give me a smooch.
Come on, Oscar.
Enough with the camera, OK?
I want to hear about your day.
Come on, use your words.
Very good.
I'm proud of you.
Do you want to read something together?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Nu-uh.
No, Oscar, Mommy doesn't like that.
Come on, go to your room.
You know, Oscar, school's going to start soon
and they're not going to let you carry around that toy all day.
Let's you and I make a promise, OK?
This year, you and I are going to find
you a real hobby, something that you can do with other kids.
You know, make some friends.
Doesn't that sound nice?
You have so much to share with the world.
I just want people to see what I see.
So that's where we're at.
The good news is that me and my guys
have gotten enough signatures to get
the initiative on the ballot.
And we've also procured the services
of a lobbyist to help us speed along the zoning stuff
and whatnot.
He says we could probably break ground by the first of the year,
but we need to get this initiative passed first.
What you need from us, Skipper?
Well, mark your calendars the second Tuesday in November
and come here and vote.
We need a strong turnout.
Thanks for the update, pop.
Right.
Look, I know it's late.
But we have one more piece of business
that we need to discuss.
I believe we have another opportunity
that we should explore.
MAN: What's he mean?
It's no secret that I've been in touch
with some folks at the Siren Group
as well as the Tourism Board.
And they see exciting potential in our little town
for a new project.
Yeah, exciting potential for who, exactly?
Your bar with rich tourists coming in?
Too bad about your poor ass neighbors don't
have a nickel between them.
All right, well if you let me explain,
pop, you might appreciate the opportunity that we have.
Having a cannery in this town is the only thing that's
going to keep us from drowning.
MAN: That's right, Frank.
But with the kind of jobs this resort will bring,
my kids wouldn't have had to move so far away
from home looking for work.
If I don't fish, Margaret, my kids don't eat.
So what's the hotel going to do for us?
Yeah, Tony's right.
Talking about jobs.
I'm talking about real jobs, not being bellhop or a cabana
boy for rich tourists.
And freezing your ass off or gutting fish in a cannery,
that's more dignified?
Yeah, well fishing built this town, our home, your home.
Of course, everything we have is from fishing.
I'm not the only one who feels this way, pops.
Ask Manny.
WOMAN: Manny?
Um-- Dermot's got a point, Frank.
Manny, what are you saying?
We could build a cannery, sure.
But it's only prolonging the inevitable.
I can't believe I'm hearing this.
You know, every time we have a meeting, more empty seats.
[HAIRDRYER BLOWING]
OK, so first you want to drop the dice into the glass.
[CLINKS]
Give it a shake.
[RATTLES]
Then you look through the bottom of the glass.
You add up the three numbers you see.
But don't say what it is.
Huh, keep it to yourself.
Because I'm going to guess what that number is,
and I'm going to be right, too.
Every time.
Got it?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you doing?
I'm going to teach you a rule for life.
Never ever shake another man's dice, unless you're
sure they're not loaded.
You've heard of trick dice, right?
Right.
One more time.
Class dismissed.
Now let's work some magic.
[RATTLES]
Easy, 14.
Come on, did you even shake 'em?
Come on, Oscar.
Let's go again.
Shake 'em for real this time.
Oscar?
Who's there?
Vic.
What are you-- what are you doing here?
Sheesh.
Somebody hasn't had her coffee yet.
I just put on a pot.
I'll pour you a cup.
It's just, I haven't seen you in over a year
and you just show up unannounced?
Yeah, well I had a little vacation time owed to me.
I thought I'd spend it catching up with my big sis.
Cream?
Sugar?
Vacation time.
So you got a job?
Yeah, so?
With paid leave?
What, did they give you a company
car and a credit card, too?
Look, if I'm cramping your style, just say that.
If you want me to go--
No, I'm sorry.
Don't go.
I just-- I just missed you.
God, you big idiot.
Why didn't you call me first?
I could have asked for some time off work.
Now you're-- you're on your own.
You know me.
I got an active imagination.
Maybe I'll run errands or something.
You look like you're running a little
low on inventory around here.
Fine, just take Oscar, will you?
What, doesn't he have school?
No, he's on break.
Great.
Give us a chance to catch up.
I got a delivery truck at my work in 20 minutes,
and I can't keep waiting, OK?
Look, I need you to listen to your uncle, OK?
OK.
I love you.
All right.
Hey, what does your mom usually give you for breakfast?
She let you drink coffee?
No time like the present.
Little bit of sugar?
Just a little bit.
Come on, let's get some air.
What the hell did your mom bring you out here for?
Do you like it here?
This looks like the place where fun goes to die.
What's a couple guys like us supposed
to do in a place like this?
Hey, you even listening?
Steve, T-Bone, you're on deck.
Conor, I'd bring you on, but well,
you know how things have been.
I've only worked six days this month.
Tomorrow's another day.
I'll be back.
I got a pick-up to make.
We ship out in a half hour.
[BARKING ORDERS]
Nice game.
Come on, you're kidding me.
I think I'm going to move out here, Osc.
CONOR: One more game.
I'll make it interesting.
Double or nothing.
Come on, what do you think?
Man, where are you doing?
Come on!
Hey, Osc.
Your uncle's got to take care of some grownup business, huh?
Just don't tell your mom.
I'll be back before you know it.
Just wait right here, OK?
Right here.
Don't move.
Stay right there.
I'm not sure I know what that number means, Doc.
So it's not within the normal range?
I see.
OK.
Yeah, I'll stay in touch.
Thanks.
Shit.
MANNY: Give me some good news, Eric.
Hey, Manny.
I, uh, fixed that radio for you.
And what's the damage?
Oh, I think $75 will cover it.
Oh, and I believe it's your move.
I got you right here.
Do I know you?
VICTOR: No, I'm Victor.
- Victor? - Yeah, what about you?
Conor.
Nice to meet you.
Where are you from?
Up north.
I'm just trying to meet people, you know?
Yeah.
I'll talk to you about a little business situation.
What you got?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Yeah, for sure.
Let's go.
Hey, let's take a little halftime, OK?
Don't worry, I'll be right back.
That's your brother.
Oh, don't worry about him.
He's fine.
I got a nephew just like him.
You ever feel like one of these gizmos of yours?
Still works fine, but not much use for it?
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah
This is going to be my last season, you know.
Oh, come on.
You say that every year.
Well this time, I mean it.
Come winter, I'm scrapping the trawler.
Selling my license to the highest bidder.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear you say that.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
[BELL RINGS]
DERMOT: Eric
Hey.
You are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Hey, that big printer of yours still work?
The one we used for the 4th of July banners last year?
Well, I wouldn't be much of a repairman if it didn't.
Great.
I need to get this photo blown up, four by 10.
And then give me a couple hundred of those flyers.
OK.
Where are you going, Manny?
Check this out.
Interesting stuff.
I can't.
We're shipping out.
Thanks for the radio, Eric.
I'll be seeing you, Manny.
See you.
We'll talk later.
Be sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll see you, Manny.
You've been a busy man lately, haven't you?
Yeah.
Just trying to get stuff done.
Yeah, you got the whole town talking.
Town likes to talk.
Yeah.
About to lose your bishop.
[LAUGHS]
Hey, Willie.
Right here--
I'll check you in a minute, brother.
No, we got a game!
Oscar?
Hey, fellas, we got to get moving.
We should have cast off by now.
Hey, kid.
What do you think you're doing?
You just take my picture?
Come here.
Give me that camera.
Yeah, you see what happens?
Whoa, whoa.
See what happens when you spy on people
minding their own business?
What's the problem here?
This little creep, I caught him taking my picture.
Hey, kid, this isn't a playground.
These guys are trying to work.
Could cause an accident fooling around down here.
Is that what you want?
Hey, you know you're supposed to answer a grownup when
they ask you a question, right?
When did you bite your tongue, kid?
Same time your mommy dropped you on your head?
MANNY: That's enough.
What?
He doesn't even know what we're saying.
What's the matter with you?
I don't want to see you around here again,
and I definitely don't want to see you
pointing this thing at anybody.
You hear me?
Hey.
Hey, hey.
This is my nephew.
This is your nephew?
Yeah.
You might want to keep a closer eye on him.
He doesn't belong down here.
It's dangerous.
Not just for him, but for the workers.
Dangerous?
Kid is nine goddamn years old.
You don't need to talk like that in front of the kid.
I could talk however I want.
This little creep's been taking pictures.
That's what this is all about, taking pictures?
Come on, come on.
Let's go.
Hey Osc, you know how to find your eye line?
You got to follow the birdie.
Yeah, that's right.
Take a snap shot of that, Popeye.
Mr. Big City.
Come on, do it, too.
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
Come on, man.
That's enough.
That's enough, come on.
We got work to do.
All right.
Yeah, get back to work, ladies.
Come on, let's get out of here.
I was looking all over for you.
[CREAKING]
Got to be quicker.
Got to be quicker, baby.
You gotta be quicker, baby.
It's an illusion.
It smells like bubblegum.
Oh, the warden returns.
Vic, what the hell?
Come on, give me that.
I just got it.
Give it.
Vic, give it.
Has he eaten?
You mean the science experiment in the fridge?
It's no wonder the poor kid's growth is stunted.
I made him something better.
Picked up a few things for you, too.
What else did you guys get up to today?
Nothing much.
Pretty uneventful.
COMMENTATOR [ON SCREEN]: One minute left to go in the game.
The score remains exactly 96-98.
[CREAKING]
Oscar!
Hey, buddy.
Why don't you do me a favor, huh?
Go get your uncle a pepperoni and mushroom pizza.
Here.
Get something for yourself, too.
Hey, take the scenic route while you're at it.
[CLICKS]
Hello!
Hello, young sir.
Oh here, I'll give you a hand.
Ooh.
Your first roll of film.
You excited, huh?
Well, let's get to it, then.
What, uh, what's the war story there?
Does that have something to do with why you don't speak?
Yeah.
Is that why you wear the scarf, it embarrasses you?
I hear you.
I'm covered with it.
When you get to be my age, you get
barnacles removed all the time.
And that's just part of who I am.
Oscar, my boy, this is where the magic happens.
Oh yeah.
Years ago, I practically lived in here.
I knew this stuff would come in handy someday.
And this-- is my best work.
It's an enlarger.
Blows up your picture.
Not much of a dark room if it isn't dark, right?
That's better.
Have a seat, young man.
OK.
Now, watch carefully, because you're going
to be doing this in the dark.
Now this is a test roll.
OK, see how I'm rolling it, holding it on the side?
Got to give the film a little breathing room.
You got that?
There you go.
OK.
Because you're doing this in the dark,
I'm going to have to blindfold you, OK?
Keep doing it.
Keep going.
Wait till you get it done.
That's good.
OK, now put it in the canister.
That's it.
And now for the voodoo potion.
Yeah.
This is what makes it all happen.
This is the developer.
And pour this in here, like so.
[LIQUID TRICKLING]
And wait till you see what this does.
Yeah.
This is an important part.
Agitate it, OK?
Just like that, OK?
[POUNDS]
Here, you try.
Agitate it, right.
[POUNDS]
That gets the bubbles off the film.
Good.
[POUNDS]
It's funny, because in life, we have
a little agitation, don't have?
You have a problem.
But if you shake it around, you shake your life around
a little bit, then you start to feel better,
just like this film does.
Right.
So a little agitation's OK.
You got me?
But this is very important.
Never, never pick your nose in public.
[BUZZER]
Yeah, that's it for the developer.
Give it a little wash.
We use light and shadow.
I like what I'm seeing.
Nice.
Some nice little snappers here.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Not quite the decisive moment you were looking for, huh?
That happens.
Now which photo do you think is your best one?
No right or wrong answer.
Just pick the one you like the most.
Ah.
That's interesting.
It's a little busy, don't you think?
Yeah, I'm not really sure I know what the story is there.
But I prefer the one you took of Sister Mary.
Just look at how she's sitting, with her feet
out holding her cigarette.
You know, Sister Mary wasn't always a nun.
Way back in the day, she was the prettiest girl in the village.
Very popular with all the boys.
And when her boyfriend Sonny proposed to her,
as a gesture of his love, he planted a garden of pink roses
for her.
And then-- yeah, Sonny was drafted.
Never returned.
And the roses, they--
poor old Sister Mary.
But what really makes this your best photo is that we don't
really need to know Sister Mary's whole history
to see who she really is.
It's all right there.
Now my eyesight isn't what it used to be.
But let me just see.
I stand corrected.
Yeah, you just need to get a little closer to your subjects.
Your angles are all really wide.
Oh.
I think I have just the thing for you.
Ooh, check this out.
Oh, there.
Patience, buddy.
[CLICKS]
Good man.
Buckle up, kiddo.
You're in the driver's seat now.
Oscar, why are you still up?
It's way past your bedtime.
Where's your Uncle Victor?
You know, if it was a school night
and you missed your bus in the morning because you slept in,
don't expect a ride from me.
You'd be walking your little butt to school, mister.
Come on, get ready for bed.
What is that?
Oh yeah, cute puppy.
All right, let's go.
Uh, aren't you forgetting something?
[CHUCKLES] I got it ready for you.
Bright colors.
Nice big print.
There you go.
Thanks.
Hoping this will grab some people's
attention, even though they're tired of listening to me.
It seems to me like plenty of people
are hearing you out already.
I don't know about that.
Guess I'd rather have half the town
hate me than watch it die a slow death.
All right.
Thanks, Eric.
Have a nice day.
DERMOT: You, too.
Yeah.
Here we go.
It's everywhere.
Jimmy! Come on.
Yeah.
[KNOCKS]
WOMAN: Evelyn Kennedy?
Can I help you?
My name is Renee Lewis.
I'm with the Department of Child and Family Services.
Family Services.
Wait, is Oscar OK?
Is he not here right now?
No, I sent him out to play.
Did something happen to him?
Look, my office received a call from a concerned party
yesterday.
They sent me down here because we
are required to treat all these reports
with the same seriousness.
A concerned party?
Is there somewhere we can talk?
"At which time, the male adult provoked the other parties
with an obscene gesture, inciting them to violence,
putting the minor in harm's way.
The minor was encouraged to participate."
I take it you are unaware of this?
No.
I mean, yes, I, um--
I asked my brother to watch him while I was at work,
and I didn't--
I mean, he didn't tell me that, um--
God, I'm just so embarrassed.
How long have you been living at this address?
Five weeks.
Reasons for moving?
Well, my husband and I, we always talked about moving here.
And, um-- I, uh--
I don't know, I'm sorry.
Don't be.
How well would you say Oscar's adjusting to the loss?
EVELYN: I mean, I tried talking to him about it.
It's hard getting more than one word out of him at a time.
I mean, I know it's tough on him having to spell everything out--
literally.
Sometimes it feels like he's angry at me
for not being more like his dad, kind of like how
my brother and I were angry at my mom
after we got put into foster care for not being everything
that we wanted her to be.
That's really my biggest fear of all.
You know, I think about having lost my husband,
and if I lose Oscar, too, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Has Oscar's diagnosis been reviewed lately?
What are they going to do, tell me he miraculously
grew new vocal cords?
Well, that wasn't made clear in these records.
Oscar came three months early.
And when he was in the ICU, they had
to insert an oxygen tube over and over so he has scar tissue.
So that's what happened.
Of course, we didn't know the full damage
until a couple of years later.
Poor kid, he couldn't even cry for help.
RENEE: Have you looked into getting
him a text-to-speech aid or a language
therapist who can help him?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
My son is not slow.
He understands people just fine.
It's not about Oscar understanding.
It's about Oscar being understood.
Well no, I think that you're underestimating him.
He is twice as strong, twice as tough,
and he is twice as capable of any other kid his age.
No doubt about it, Ms. Kennedy.
But even the toughest, bravest kids
need to know that they're not on their own,
that they have adults they can depend on for support.
OK.
Well that's what you're here to figure out, right?
So-- so here I am.
I mean, you know, you tell me.
Thank you for your cooperation and your time, Ms. Kennedy.
If you need anything, please feel free to reach out.
That is my personal number on the back.
Oscar, Mommy's hands are wet.
Where were you today?
Is that where you were yesterday, too?
You weren't down by the docks with your Uncle Victor?
Come here, we're going to have a little talk.
Did you think that I wouldn't find out about yesterday?
Excuse me?
What is this?
I'm not a mind reader, Oscar.
You owe me an explanation.
You are going to write me an apology for lying to me.
And we are not moving from this spot until you do.
Come on, it's good practice.
Just because some things are harder for you, doesn't mean
you can walk away from them.
Life is hard.
And it is just going to get harder, too.
Do you think I can just run away from my job or the bills or you
because shit feels hard?
Sis, what are you doing up?
I want you to meet my dazzling assistant, Rhonda.
Yeah, I'm not really in the mood
for any more surprise visitors today, Vic.
Hey, let me talk to my sis for a second, huh?
Go in the car.
Yeah?
Two minutes.
Kind of rude.
A social worker came by the house
today to do a welfare check on Oscar.
What?
And you know why?
Because somebody saw you with him down at the docks yesterday
and thought that he was in danger.
Dang it, who says that?
Did they leave a name or a number?
What does it matter?
Well, I think it matters a lot.
Oh, OK.
And why is that?
Well, how do you know they're not lying?
How do you know they're telling the truth?
What, are you saying somebody called CPS on me for no reason?
I'm not saying anything.
You're putting words in my mouth.
The social worker said that you almost got Oscar in a fight.
No, they picked a fight.
I broke it up.
Then why am I only hearing about this just right now?
Well, why do you think?
Because I know you're going to overreact like you always do.
Listen to yourself.
Oh my god!
Nothing is ever your fault.
Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt.
God.
I am not done talking to you.
Come on, let's go.
[DOOR SLAMS]
Well, hello, young master.
And how are we this fine morning?
Uh-uh.
No, not today.
Sand and cameras don't mix.
And where we're going today, there's going to be a lot of it.
OK, here you go.
Let's do it.
Sometimes it's really deep.
Pick it up.
[ALARM RINGS]
Our first catch of the day.
Yeah, oh there--
[CHUCKLES]
Be patient, my little friend.
Sooner or later, we're going to strike gold.
Now, you want to walk slow and steady
and make nice smooth sweeps like you're mowing the lawn.
Then keep the coil, this part here, just
an inch or two off the ground.
And-- yeah, don't sweep it up like this, because you
could get a false read.
Yeah.
And that's about it.
Want to take a shot?
Here.
OK.
You're off to the races.
Nice smooth sweeps.
That's it.
Good stuff.
Great.
Easy does it.
Oh, let me see.
Hold on.
Check that.
No, no, that's a false read.
Keep going.
Not bad for your first treasure hunt, eh?
Not bad at all.
Hold on just a second.
That's our most valuable catch of the day.
That's a jasper rock.
Yeah.
It's a healing stone.
It protects you from all kinds of threats.
Brings balance, bravery, and the strength of a warrior.
Siegfried, the Viking dragon slayer,
he had his magic sword inlaid with jasper
to give him the courage to destroy a monster.
Hey, you want to-- want to keep it close to your skin
at all times, right here.
Wow, look at that.
Yeah.
I know, you wish you had your camera.
But you can't live your whole life behind a lens.
Sometimes it's better to be on the other side of it.
Yeah.
Ooh.
There it is.
[WAVES CRASHING]
[KNOCKS]
Frank Flynn?
Yeah.
What can I do for you?
This look familiar to you?
No.
Well, I found a whole roll of it aboard your vessel
without anchorage.
What, are you citing me?
For what?
Violating the moratorium on pelagic driftnetting.
I haven't used a driftnet since the '80s.
And what are you doing snooping around my boat?
If it makes you feel any better, it's not just you.
We found driftnetting on more than half
the other vessels in this harbor.
Have a nice day.
You, too.
Asshole.
[SINGING] It's just snow tonight
Rounded the bend
So saying the heartache and pain
Rather than the claims
Never seen it again
Eric, Eric, you OK?
Now don't worry about me.
No, I mean, I know how hard this day is for you.
Want to join us?
No, I'm good.
[SINGING] Let it all go
I'm worried about him.
Yeah, he's drunk.
Oh!
Shit.
It's all right.
No harm, no foul.
Here, let me--
No, I got it.
There's easier ways to get my pants off, you know.
Hey, talk to all women like that?
It's no wonder you're still single.
Sorry I embarrass you, Manny.
Here, look, I know you're just trying
to keep your head above water.
But you're a valuable member of this team, Conor.
I don't want to see you give up.
Whatever you say, Skipper.
You got something you want to say to me?
Which one of us is really giving up, Manny?
I'm not the one selling the boat, last I checked.
For everything else I've had to deal with, now I've got
to put up with this bullshit.
Read that.
You're being fined by Marine Patrol.
How's that my problem?
Take it up with them.
It's not a fine.
It's a shakedown.
One of many, I'm sure, that we're going to be seeing
before we vote in November.
No doubt that's a favor to one of your pals at the Siren Group.
You're being paranoid.
They deal with real estate, not fishing regulation.
Paranoid?
Anybody else here that thinks I might be paranoid,
ask yourself one question here.
If I were a big conglomerate and I had millions and millions
riding on whether or not this resort is going to be built,
would you leave it up to the local yokels to just vote on it?
Or would you put your thumb on the scale?
If I had the money, that's what I'd do.
Pop.
You really think I had something to do with this?
You know, it's a little late for you
to start caring about what I think about you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CLICKS]
Hey, hey!
You taking pictures of us?
Hey, come here.
Let me see that old thing, huh?
What, what, what?
Taking a close-up?
Look at this loser.
Why are you taking pictures of us, uh?
What are you, some kind of perv or something?
God, look at this weirdo, guys.
What's up?
[LAUGHS]
Don't take pictures of us again.
Let's get away from this pervert, guys.
[KNOCKS]
[KNOCKS HARDER]
Not today, Oscar.
Not today.
Wait here.
Let me get something to clean you up.
Damn it!
I told you to wait in the shop!
Yeah.
I took these photos.
You want to-- you want to know what photography is?
It's this.
[TEARFULLY] It's heartbreak.
It's-- it's pain.
Painful memories.
Don't waste your time, kid.
Find something else to do.
[WAVES CRASHING]
Hey, Oscar.
Vic?
VICTOR: Yes?
What, are we doing room checks now?
You are putting me in a difficult position, Victor.
You are making me choose between being your sister
and being Oscar's mom, and I can't do both if you
bring that shit in the house.
He's my nephew.
My only nephew.
You think I would do anything to put him in danger?
I would kill myself before I did that, Evelyn.
Why are you bringing this anywhere near him?
Oscar's not going through my stuff
looking for excuses to hate me.
I just want to know how worried I should be.
The truth is, you're not worried about me, Ev.
You're scared of me.
Just get rid of it, Vic.
CONOR: There's got to be something we can do.
Like what?
Contest the fees?
Even if they waive them, they're going to find
another way to screw with us.
I mean, like fight back, you know.
Make it a bad investment to build a hotel here.
Finally got off the phone with that rat-faced lobbyist of ours,
try to get some fines thrown out.
And he tells me that plans for the cannery
have been pushed back.
What do you mean?
Until when?
Anybody's guess.
Pending environmental surveys.
We already went through all that.
And we vote on it in November.
How are we going to get the new results back in time?
We're not. Don't you get it?
It's off the ballot!
They took our petition and our money,
and they just wiped their asses with it.
Should have seen that one coming.
Well, I guess Manny had the right idea after all, huh?
Putting the boat up for sale.
[KNOCKS]
Hello.
Hi.
Ms. Kennedy?
Yes.
My name's Eric Conway.
I own the repair shop in town.
Oh, OK.
Is your son at home?
I'm sorry, is there something that I can help you with?
He, uh, he left this at my shop.
God, I'm so sorry.
I hope he wasn't bothering you.
No, not at all.
I just came to return it.
You know, to be honest with you, I kind of wish you hadn't.
Carries this thing around like a ball and chain.
Yeah.
Has Oscar mentioned what we've been working on together?
I'm sorry, how do you know his name?
I've been giving your son a few pointers on his photography.
Oh.
Anyway, I just--
just wanted to drop that off.
And oh, please tell him that there's
a fresh roll of film in there.
OK.
I'm sorry, what was your name again?
Eric.
Thank you for being so--
so kind to him.
Whatever you're doing, ma'am, you're raising a fine young man.
You have a nice evening.
So I guess your cover's blown, kiddo.
Not only have you been sneaking out, you've
been talking to strangers, too.
You want to tell me about your friend, Mr. Eric?
Well, he has some very nice things to say about you.
And he tells me that he's been giving
you some photography tips.
What's another word for absolution?
What, from a priest?
Purification.
No, starts with an R.
Redemption.
Good luck finding much of that around here.
Thank you very much.
Dermot.
DERMOT: Yeah.
You didn't tell me we were in a bidding war
with San Felipe over the hotel.
What?
I don't get it.
Why would Siren build two resorts less than half an hour
drive from each other?
I don't know.
You withdrawing the offer?
Oh, so what, your hands are too busy counting cash,
you couldn't give me a call?
No, it is personal.
How do you think this is going to make me look?
So what, you treat all your partners like this?
You guys are a bunch of assholes.
OK, you can take your goddamn fancy resort and shove it.
[KNOCKS]
TONY: Hey.
Hey.
How are you, Tony?
Good, man.
Yeah.
- There you go. - All right.
I'm all right.
Don't tell me that's Dermot's old boat.
Yeah, that's little Boy Blue.
Not so blue no more, is it?
No, that's what happens you leave it at the bottom of a pond
for a couple of years.
But I mean, just slap a coat of paint on her
and make her shipshape.
Not that Dermot will ever want her back,
but maybe one of his boys might, someday.
Hell, I should probably have left her where I found her.
You know, I can't say I blame Dermot for not wanting
to be a part of this life.
Or my own kid, for that matter.
You know, you can't just recommend this line of work
to anybody.
Even back when you could make a living off of it,
you know, it was--
Well, it's not just making a living.
It's being alive.
It's having that cold wind in your face
and feeling that-- that salt air in your lungs
and feeling that deep current running beneath your feet.
And Dermot, he just gets seasick.
You said it.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah.
I don't blame my boy, either.
Tony, I-- we are who we are.
But I mean, good lord, looking up at those stars at night.
I mean, looking up at those stars,
sometimes I think 5,000 years ago,
there must have been some son of a bitch
just like me looking up at those same stars,
and he knew just where he was, where he belonged.
Hell, I don't know how to do anything else.
You know?
It's just that nothing on dry land
makes me feel that elemental feeling.
Or maybe we just mental.
[LAUGHS]
Well, that's why we're fishermen.
The boat's the closest thing I know to a nuthouse.
Well, yeah.
You know, you're such a special kid, it scares me.
This world can be so hard on people who
are quiet and gentle and kind.
But you don't need me to tell you that.
I guess it was pretty silly of me
to think I could get between you and your dad.
You know, your daddy was about your age
when he got this camera from his dad.
There's so much more of him in you than just this camera.
It's in your eyes.
It's the way you see things.
So go.
Be your father's son.
[BELL RINGS]
Well, hello there.
Friends again?
Sorry.
I was just having a bad day.
Had nothing to do with you, OK?
Hey.
I want you to see something.
This is our little boy, Jack, at about your age.
He was fascinated with otters.
We never understood why.
It's funny, we used to get otters here
all the time, every summer.
Rose used to say it was our dear Jack
boy popping up to say hello.
Yeah, I researched them a little bit.
Otters are fascinating animals.
They got a little stone they call a tool.
And they crack clams.
They eat them.
And then if they got any left over,
they stick them in their armpit and put the stone in there, too.
And this guy, when he was a baby,
he used to do the same thing.
Give him a graham cracker, he'd put it and walk
around with it in his armpit.
This used to hang on the wall.
But-- it's hard to look at every day.
[COUGHS]
I'm all right.
Huh?
Right you are.
There he is.
Right where he belongs.
Well, I'll be.
That was our boy Jack's favorite song.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SINGING] You know that he no good for you
Cause you can see what he's trying to be
He'll leave you behind because he's the unkind kind
You know how they work
You know he's just a jerk
So you should
There's a time for snapping and the time for dancing.
And this here is a time for dancing.
Come on!
Come on.
[SINGING] You knew right from the first kiss
Nothing new could ever come of this
And bang, down you go
Let's go. Get into it.
Come on, man.
Loosen up.
[SINGING] He won't leave you alone
So you should walk away
Why don't you walk away
Walk away
Go on and walk away
Turn yourself around
Walk right out of town
Someone better warn you just to walk away
Yeah.
Woo!
Yeah.
Woo!
Yeah.
[PLAYFUL MUSIC]
[PLAYING TRUMPET]
Would you look at that?
My goodness.
[CLICKS]
It's time you learn to load your own film.
I'm not your camera assistant.
Oh, guess what?
I found a roll of film in your old Mamiya, an exposed roll.
Want to take a look?
That must be you, my little friend.
[CHUCKLES] Your mom might like to have these.
What do you think?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Now that must be your dad's wedding ring on your wrist.
There.
There you go.
Now.
MAN 1: Hey!
Hey!
I've been looking all over for you.
MAN 2: Hey, back for more.
MAN 1: Don't do that.
You shorted.
MAN 2: I'm sorry, your sales are fine.
MAN 1: You're a dick.
I told you, you saw the bag, dude.
You got to cool off, bro.
I don't know what you want me to do.
You shorted.
We'll get a refund next time.
No, no.
All right.
What's up?
What are you--
You're pathetic.
[SPITS]
Oscar, where'd you come from?
It's OK.
Fighting looks a lot easier on the TV.
Your uncle's a real screwup, kid.
Don't be like me.
[BELL RINGS]
Eric.
Just the man I wanted to see.
Well sure, what's up?
You know the other day you talked
about how you had nothing left?
That you wanted to give up.
Yeah.
Well, this doesn't look like a man who's
ready to throw in the towel.
Dad nailed these to every ship before handing
over the business.
For good luck.
Did you take this?
Wasn't me.
What'd you call me over for?
I have a favor to ask of you, Manny.
Something I'd like you to do for me.
You'll need a couple of the guys, too.
[SQUAWKS]
[BURPS]
[PHONE RINGS]
Nice shooting, Tex.
All right.
Next round's on me.
I got to take a piss.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, we got a peanut gallery here, huh?
No, sorry, I didn't mean to--
Think you can do better?
Nope.
No, I can't.
Oh, come on.
Cannery is a bust.
So is that fancy ass resort.
My crew treats me like a leper.
At this point, what do any of us got to lose except our sobriety?
All right, mister.
You got yourself a wager.
There's got to be stakes if it's going to be a wager.
Now let's say I win best three out of five.
You cover my tab.
OK, all right.
And if I win, what do I get?
My vessel.
Worth as much as my tab anyway.
OK.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SINGING] All the dreams we hope to be real
We might never know
Only time will tell
Well I've swam with some sharks in my day,
but never on dry land.
[LAUGHS]
Thanks, Deidre.
Give my best to Mary Lou.
I hope she feels better soon.
Have a nice one, Eric.
Hey, what you got there?
OK, OK.
Caught a big one, haven't we?
Let's get it out of there.
Now over to you, maestro.
Yeah.
You know what to do.
Get it in the soup.
Oh.
Uh.
[GASP]
[KNOCKS]
I don't believe it.
Where did you see them?
They're gorgeous.
Two of them.
I never thought I'd see the day again.
Look who's back.
And his mother's joined him.
Good stuff, buddy.
Good stuff.
Fresh roll?
Mom's pictures?
Excellent.
Same time tomorrow?
All right.
Well, thank you, my little friend.
You made this old man very happy.
Off you go.
Be safe, kiddo.
Hey, buddy.
Is your mom home?
I'm sorry, bud.
I don't have time.
Just going to pick up a few things.
Hey, check out what your uncle got you.
Huh?
Seeing is Believing.
Cool, right?
[DOOR CLOSING]
[SINISTER MUSIC]
Oscar, you left the door unlocked.
Guys, why are all the lights off?
Oscar?
Vic, is anybody home?
Oscar!
Oscar?
Oh my god!
Are you OK?
Oh god, I was so worried.
Honey, what happened?
Honey, what is wrong?
Oscar, look at me.
What happened here?
Was somebody here at the house today?
Are you hurt?
Honey, where's Daddy's camera?
Oh.
It's OK.
So as we say goodbye to our dear friend Eric,
let us honor his memory, and not just in words, but in our deeds.
And now, I believe Frank has a few words to share.
Eric was the best of us.
He will be sorely missed.
Eric wrote a few parting words for us all.
And if you'll permit me.
"My dearest friends, thank you for being here today.
But more importantly, thank you for always being there.
Jasper's is where my beautiful Rose and I decided
to make our home together.
And you, you all made us feel so welcome.
Among you, we built a life.
With you, we shared a home.
And in you, we found a family.
We watched many of you take your first steps outside our shop.
We celebrated with you when times were good.
And when times grew hard, you stood by one another.
And that's why you, my dear friends,
are the real magic of Jasper's Cove.
It's in your smiles and in your laughter,
in your tears, hugs, and handshakes,
in your moments alone and with those you love.
[KNOCKS]
It's in every sunrise and every sunset.
But somehow, in the midst of the hard times we've been facing,
you've lost sight of it.
And so, too, had I, until someone reminded me."
Sweetheart.
I'm so, so sorry.
I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.
Come here.
Hey, Oscar.
I think this belongs to you.
"And so I leave you with this.
You are the magic.
You are the soul of this place.
You just have to see it."
Jesus Mary.
Oh my lord.
You're going to want to see this.
WOMAN 1: Did you see that photo?
WOMAN 2: That's incredible.
MAN: Amazing.
WOMAN 3: Wow, who took these?
[FAINT BACKGROUND CHATTER]
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
