That was an amazing game, Mouse.

Thank you, Mr. Dawson.

I mean it. Two goals
against the Hammers?

Your mom and dad are gonna
be so proud of you, honey.

You know they wanted to be there, but...

Work.

Hey, I got both your goals on video

so we can show them when we get home.

WOMAN (on video): Yeah, yeah, come on!

(whooping)

That was really cool of you to do.

- Thank you, Mrs. Dawson.
- MRS. DAWSON: You got it.

I just have one note.
Why didn't you celebrate?

Because it's Mouse, Mom.
She never celebrates.

MRS. DAWSON: I don't care who you are.

You hit the game-winner against
the best team in the state,

you celebrate!

I don't want anyone to feel bad.

Can I give you a piece of advice?

Never hide your light because
it'll make somebody else feel bad.

Okay, so let's hear it.

- What?
- Your celebration, silly.

Next time you score a goal,
what are you gonna do?

- I don't know.
- Ooh. I know what I'd do.

- A big balls celebration.
- Joey!

(chuckling) Not helpful.

How about the classic "Goa-a-al!"

Like the TV guy, huh?

- Come on.
- ALL: Goa-a-al!

- ALL: Goa-a-al!
- Go, go, goa-a-al!

ALL: Goa-a-al!

Mr. Dawson!

- (horn blaring)
- Oh, God!

Good job, .

Oh, Mateo, you got a little, uh...

PAUL STRICKLAND: You
got something... it's right there.

(laughter)

(cell phone buzzing)

Hey, it's Marwani.

- Hey-o. Is that Marjan?
- OWEN STRAND: Hey, Marjan!

Hey!

How's my girl?

Good.

You were talking about
the bike, weren't you?


Of course, I meant the bike.

Well, I sold her.

Pretty good price.
I got $ more than I paid you.

You're hilarious.

MATEO CHAVEZ: Hey, what's up, Marj?

PAUL: Hey-o. Is that Marjan?

Hey, what's up, girl?

Aw!

You guys look like you're having fun.

Yeah, we just knocked down
a five-alarm fire

in a sausage factory.

It made me so hungry.
It smelled so delicious.

JUDD RYDER: Ooh, you got that right.

Hey, is that Marjan?

Oh, hey! I miss you guys.

So come back!

Okay.

Okay? Did you say "okay"?

Yeah, I mean, assuming you
haven't replaced me already.


No, we haven't replaced you.
You're irreplaceable.

Are you sure you're ready to come back?

Yeah, I'm ready. Like, really ready.

- PAUL: Awesome, yeah!
- MATEO: Cool.

MARJAN MARWANI: Okay, okay, okay.
Just promise me one thing.

Please don't make
a big deal out of this.

I don't need you guys
being all... extra.

Why would you think we'd be all extra?

Dude, you gave your dad
a tumor-shaped cake when he b*at cancer.

Alright. We promise. No parties.

- Where are you?
- Uh, Tucumcari.

New Mexico? You can be here by tonight.

No, I've had a pretty
eventful couple days.

I think I'm gonna grab a motel room

and then maybe hit the road
first thing in the morning?

Alright. So you'll be
in Austin by four o'clock.

Why don't you just
come right to my house?

Don't even bother going home.

Your place? Why?

So we can get the paperwork sorted out.

Can't we just do that
on Tuesday at work?


Well, I think it's better
to just get it out of the way.

You're throwing a party, aren't you?

ALL: Yeah!

Okay, fine, fine.
But no yacht rock, okay?

- Oh!
- (all jeering)

Alright, drive safe.

I will.

Hey.

Did you get a seat?

I'm on the : to Fort Lauderdale.

Amazing!

Okay, do me a favor, Kiley, and, uh,

put this in your backpack.

What? What is this?

Marjan.

I can't accept this.

Yes, you can.

I blew up your old life.

The least I can do
is help you start a new one.

Where did you even get all of this?

I sold my bike.

No.

- Oh, my God. You shouldn't have.
- It's okay.

I've eaten enough diesel exhaust
to last me a lifetime.

But how are you getting home?

I don't know, I'll get
a rental car or something.

Don't even sweat it.

(over PA): ... : bus
to Fort Lauderdale.


Hey, what's-what's-what's going on?

What if getting on that bus is
the biggest mistake of my life?

I mean, look at how happy we were.

No, those aren't real, Kiley.

That was posted for show.

What I saw when you were with him,

the look of terror in your eyes?

That was real.

Grant will have posted bail by now.

This is your chance to break free.

You have to take it.

Grant was my home.

MARJAN: You thought he was.

When you find your real home,
you'll feel the difference.

Believe me.

(sniffles)

I'm so scared...

doing this alone.

And that's what makes you so brave

because you're doing it anyways.

And you won't be alone, okay?

My sister Sahar lives just
down the road in Miami Beach.

She has the place wired.

I'll text you her number.

Thank you, Marjan...

for everything.

ANNOUNCER (over PA):
This is a final call

for the : bus to Fort Lauderdale.

(Kiley inhales and exhales)

Go, enjoy your life.

You deserve it.

(ominous music playing)

(bus engine revving)

Man, I don't know about y'all,
but I'm getting a serious case

of carpal tunnel over here.

Right? If Captain Vega was here,
I would be submitting for hazard pay.

Yeah, she's lucky
she missed this assignment.

Well, that's debatable.

She's at her -year-old's
ballet recital,

and it's supposed to go for four hours.

(scoffs) Ouch.

Is Grace coming by?

Nah, she can't. Actually,
her shift starts at :

so I told her
I'll bring her a piece of cake.

- (oven dings)
- OWEN: Alright.

The mushroom canapés are out.

The short ribs and bruschetta
are cooking.

Uh, salmon and cucumber canapés
are in the refrigerator.

What else am I missing?

Oh, yeah.
The fig and-and brie canapés. Duh.

That's a lot of canapés
on hours' notice.

I have a guy.

Hey, Dad, remember,
she didn't want us getting too extra.

Oh, this isn't "extra."
I am never "extra."

People, we must have more LED balloons.

I do not wanna see any light.

I wanna see this whole ceiling covered.

He's still not over us
not letting him plan the wedding, is he?

Yeah, we just gotta let him
figure it out on his own.

And you know what? I think
we may have dodged a b*llet.

In the shape of a canapé.

is trying to run me off the road.

What? What the...

GIRL: Sorry.

I didn't know how to wake you.

My friends need help.

Wh-what happened?

There was an accident.

You drove off the road.

Into a ditch.

Yeah.

I do that sometimes.

Ah!

Are you okay?

(groans)

Feels like I broke a couple ribs.

Probably a concussion, too,
I'm guessing.

Where-where did you come from?

I was in the accident, too.

A red car.

My friend and his parents,
they're still stuck in the car.

Please, you have to help them.

Yeah.

I'll-I'll-I'll call for help.

Or not.

Okay, kid.

Come on. Show me.

MOUSE: You can lean on me.

MARJAN: You know,
you're pretty strong for...

What are you, eleven?

Twelve?

Ten.

Oh.

What's your name?

People call me Mouse.

Mouse?

That's probably, uh...

That's probably 'cause you're...

pretty mouthy, huh? (panting)

No.

(winces sharply)

My name's, my name's Marjan.
And you're in luck 'cause,

'cause I'm a firefighter.

Okay?

And we're gonna get through this.

You said the car's right around here?

Uh... I thought so.

Maybe I got turned around.

MARJAN: That's okay. It's okay. Come on.

We'll just, we'll keep looking, okay?

You play soccer, huh?

MOUSE: How did you know?

Your uniform kinda gave you away.

Right.

(pants)

What, uh, what position do you play?

- Striker.
- No way!

That was my favorite position.

(twig snaps)

MOUSE: What? What is it?

Nothing. Nothing. Uh...

I just, I wanna make sure

I know how to get back, okay?

Come on.

- Is that it?
- MOUSE: Yes.

It's a miracle you made it out of there.

MOUSE: Joey! Mr. and Mrs. Dawson!

I brought a firefighter.

Hey, hey. Hey, listen, sweetheart,

I think it's better if you just,
if you stay here, okay?

But I wanna help you.

I'm gonna do everything I can
to help your friends.

I-I promise.

So I need you to do me a favor.

And you're just gonna
sit down here, okay?

And, uh, look up at the trees
a-and count to ,

and whatever you do, just...
Don't-don't turn around, okay?

- Okay.
- MARJAN: Okay.

Okay.

One, two...

They're dead, aren't they?

MARJAN: Um... (panting)

I'm so sorry.

(exhales) It's all my fault.

No, no, no, no, Mouse, no.

- It is not your fault.
- MOUSE: It is.

They were teaching me
how to celebrate a goal,

and Mr. Dawson
took his eyes off the road.

If I hadn't had driven into your lane,

none of this would have happened, okay?

So if it's anybody's fault, it's mine.

You understand?

We really have to
get out of here, Mouse.

We need to go to the top
of the road and get some help.

(Marjan winces)

Can I say goodbye to him first?

(sniffles)

Joey.

He's my best friend.

Hey, no, I think...

I think it's better if
you say goodbye in your head.

- Okay?
- How do I do that?

Close your eyes.

Think of a time when you
were truly happy together.

Do you have a memory like that?

Last season, Joey scored his first goal.

His only goal.

He was so happy he hugged me
in front of everybody.

Then I want you to
think of him just like that.

'Cause that's how happy he'll always be

as long as you carry that with you.

Now I want you to tell him
that you won't

ever forget him.

Okay.

I told him.

Good job, honey.

Come on.

JUDD: Well, Cap, I hate to say it,

but I think, uh, you're gonna have to

put your salmon canapés
back in the fridge.

Yeah, these fishes are not
swimming upstream anymore, Cap.

This is a disaster. Where is she?

Mateo, any news?

Straight to voice mail.

Maybe she doesn't have service.

She's on the interstate.
She should have service.

TK STRAND: Maybe she's on the motorcycle

and she can't hear
the phone calls coming in.

No, no, no, no. All that stuff
goes right into the helmet.

- That's not an issue.
- Oh, God.

She did tell us she didn't want a party.

Yeah, but Marjan wouldn't
ghost us, right? She is not like that.

NANCY GILLIAN: Well, maybe
she just turned off her phone

and she's, like,
taking the scenic route.

We're talking about Firefox, Nancy.

The woman never has her phone off,
and she's never late.

I mean, am I wrong, Cap?

Not once in three years.

Do we start calling hospitals?

Hang on. I got a better idea.

(keypad beeping)

(line ringing)

(cell phone ringing)

- Hey, husband.
- JUDD (over phone): Hey, Gracie.

I got you on speaker at Marjan's party.

Hmm. Okay, so you're
calling to rub my face in it, huh?

We missed you, Marjan.

JUDD: No, no,
sweetheart, she ain't here.

That's what we're callin' about.

She should have been here
about two hours ago,

and she's not answering her phone.

OWEN (over phone): Hey,
Grace, I'm sending you her contacts.


Can you try to get
a location on her phone?

Uh, let me try tracking her GPS.

I'm not seeing her.

Hey, Grace, when was the
last time she used her phone?

It was about an hour and a half ago.

Two calls, both under three seconds.

What were the numbers?

It was to - - .

Both came into Mason County
Dispatch,
and both of 'em dropped.

- Okay, so that's bad.
- Mason County, alright, that...

That must mean she was on Highway .

OWEN: Grace, can you check
for accidents on Highway

in Mason County?

Mm-mm. I'm not seeing any.

Anyone know what time
she left this morning?

Uh, sunrise, early.

That's seven hours on the road
before she called - - ,

which means she could be...

Anywhere within miles from here.

Grace, I think we're
gonna hop in the car

and head west looking for her.

Uh, will you keep us updated?

Yeah, I will. I'll say a prayer, too.

- Love you.
- Paul, come with us.

- We need your eyes.
- Okay, shouldn't we all go?

No, no. Somebody's gotta stay here
in case she comes in that door.

CARLOS REYES: I'll call AFD,

Highway Patrol, Texas Rangers,
see if they've heard anything.

Alright.

(groaning)

Hey. Hey. Good hustle, Mouse.

(pants)

Are you still feeling okay?

Yeah. You?

- (vehicle approaching)
- Yeah.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

Stop! Hey!

We need help. (winces sharply)

You alright?

No. Th-There was an accident.

Where's your vehicle?

Down in-in the ravine.

Looks like you hit your head
pretty good there.

Yeah.

The damn thing won't stop leaking.

I got some duct tape in the back there.

Probably do the trick.

We-we should really just go.

Nearest hospital's miles away.

You're liable to bleed out
before you get there.

Come on.

Drink some water.

Thank you for stopping.

My name's Rick. What's yours?

Marjan and, uh... Mouse

RICK: Kind of a nickname, huh?

A square of this over your eyebrow there

should hold till we get you
to a professional.

I'll dial - - .
Let 'em know we're on our way.

Thank you, Rick.

Okay.

Wh...

CARLOS: Thanks, Pa.
Yeah, I appreciate it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll
see each other this weekend.

Alright, bye.

Texas Rangers haven't heard anything.

Yep. Thank you.

No Jane Does matching
Marjan's description

in any hospitals in Kerr County.

Or Gillespie, Logan, or Mason.

I think we need to start
calling tow truck companies.

What if she's stranded on
the side of the road somewhere?

Something bad happened, I know it.

CARLOS: Hey.

You alright?

Why did we let her go?

I mean, we never
should have let her leave.

Mateo, you need to
be strong right now, okay?

No matter what happened,
Marjan needs us to keep pushing.

(sniffles, sighs)

Just can't lose her, man.

(cell phone ringing)

Hey, Grace, you're on
with all of us here right now.

- You find anything?
- GRACE (over phone): Yeah, I did.

I'm not sure what to make of it, though.

I ran Marjan's name through the system

and got a hit on a police report.

An aggravated as*ault
two days ago in New Mexico.

Two days ago?
She never mentioned anything.

I hate to ask you this, but was
she the victim or the perpetrator?

GRACE: She was neither.

It says she was a material witness
in a domestic v*olence case.

The assailant was a Grant Harlan.

Apparently, Marjan stopped him
from hurting his fiancée.

CARLOS: Please tell
me this guy's locked up.

No. He was released on bail
the day of his arrest.

Same day? Seriously?

- Any idea where he is?
- GRACE: Uh-uh.

And he didn't make
his arraignment this morning.

The court's issued a warrant.

Is the fiancée's name Kiley?

GRACE: Yeah, it is.

Grace, what do you know about her?

GRANT: You know, friend... (grunts)

...I can't help but notice

the people you meet on the road...

well, they don't end up too well.

Maybe that's a lesson for you.

You hear what I'm saying, friend?

You dead already?

Well, try not to bleed out without me.

I'll be right with ya.

MARJAN: Honey?

Honey, you have to go.

Run as far away as you can, okay?

I'm not leaving without you.

It's me he's after, okay?

You have to go. Please, Mouse, come on.

No. I'm not leaving without you.

So get up.

Or we're both dead.

(groans sharply)

(Mouse grunts)

(vehicle approaching)

(siren chirps)

Afternoon. Everything okay here?

Yeah. Uh...

Battery just crapped out on me.

While you were driving?

No, I-I, uh...

I made a pit stop
to drain the main vein,

and now the damn thing won't start.

Tell you what.

Pop the hood. I'll give you a jump.

Thank you. But that is,
that's not necessary, Officer.

I, I got a tow truck on the way already.

Uh, nonsense. That'll take hours.

I got a jumper in the back,

and it's not safe for you
to be stopped here.

Where you headed, anyway?

Uh, College Station.

OFFICER: You must be an Aggie.

Yep.

(groans)

- Can you help me?
- MOUSE: Yeah.

(grunts)

(panting)

- Okay. Okay.
- Whose is this?

It's his.

- I don't wanna be here.
- Me neither.

Just... I need to find some things.

(grunting)

(groans) Hey, take that.

Get some wa-water.

Yeah.

Well, I suggest you not stop it again

And next time you have
to drain the vein and pull over,

throw your hazards on.

Will do, Officer.

MOUSE: Marjan?

Marjan!

GRANT: Friend! Where are you?

MOUSE: Wake up. Please. He's coming.

Fiancée's name
is Kiley Davis, years old.

She and Grant are from Idaho,
but neither one's had a residence listed

in the past couple years.

OWEN: Okay, what did the
New Mexico Staties have to say?

CARLOS (over phone): Well,
only that Marjan was the one


that walked Kiley
out of the police station


after Grant's arrest.

Which makes her
the last person with Marjan.

Do you think
they could still be together?

CARLOS: Well, we just don't know.

Tried calling, DMing Kiley

on all of her socials,
but we haven't had a response.

She did say she had
an eventful couple of days.

PAUL: That girl can't just see
the sights like a normal tourist.

Right.

(cell phone chimes)

Guys, I just got a DM
from Kiley's Instagram

and she said she's on a bus
to Fort Lauderdale.

Okay, see if you can
get her on the phone now.

(cell phone ringing)

- Hello, this is Kiley.
- CARLOS (over phone): Hey, Kiley.

This is Officer Carlos Reyes from Austin

with some friends of Marjan Marwani.

On the call is also
Fire Captain Owen Strand.

Wow.

It's everything okay?

OWEN (over phone):
That's why we're calling.

Marjan is missing and we haven't
heard from her since yesterday.

Please, God, tell me
he didn't do something to her.

He? You mean Grant, your fiancé?

KILEY: My ex-fiancé.

Marjan put me on a bus
yesterday to get away from him.


I've been looking over my shoulder,

but now I guess I know
why I haven't seen him.


Okay, listen to me.
This is very important.

Do you have any idea where he is

or how we could get in contact with him?

If he's still in the Winnebago
you could try that.

It has LoJack.

A Winnebago?

But Grant doesn't have
any vehicles registered to him.

That's because it's his father's.

Albert Harlan.

He let us borrow it for our trip
and Grant never gave it back.


Alright, Carlos, have Grace call us

when she gets a signal on that thing.

CARLOS: Yeah, I'm on it.

Kiley, thank you.
You've been very helpful.

KILEY: I just hope Marjan's okay.
She saved my life.

She's a hero.

Yes, she is.

MOUSE (muffled):
Marjan, you have to wake up!

Marjan!

GRANT (muffled, echoing): Friend!

- Where are you?
- Wake up, please.

He's coming.

Come on.

(clearly) Wake up.

MARJAN: Hey, Mouse.

You need to get up.

No.

You have to go. Just leave me.

No.

Look, I've...

I've lost too much blood,
and I'm not gonna make it.

But you have to.

I'm so sorry.

I don't care if you're sorry.

You promised me we were gonna
get out of this together.

Are you a liar?

No.

Then take my hand and get up.

(Mouse grunts)

(groans sharply)

- (Mouse grunts)
- (Marjan groans)

MOUSE: Come on.

Come on.

Yeah.

(both panting)

GRANT: I know you
were in my stuff, friend.

You know, you shouldn't touch
things that don't belong to you.

You should've stayed away from Kiley!

After I'm done with you,

I'm gonna find her.

(yells) Fort Lauderdale?

Isn't that what the bus said?

You hear me?

Hurry.

- (groans)
- He's coming.

I'm trying, kid. I'm...

I'm trying.

(Mouse grunts)

MOUSE: This way.

No.

(groans)

GRANT: Damn, friend.

How much blood you got in ya?

Why don't you just let me
put you out of your misery?

- What are we gonna do?
- (Marjan groans)

I don't... I don't know.

I don't know.

Alright, Grace,
we just passed mile marker .

Okay, so Grant's Winnebago
should be on your right,

just around this bend.

Okay, we're going around the bend.

Definitely no Winnebago.

What? You guys should be
right on top of it.

JUDD: What's that?

It can't be a coincidence.

Oh! Hey, y'all.

Yeah, he's dead.

He's got a g*nsh*t wound.

PAUL: And, look, we got drag marks

going all the way back
to the driver's side door.

Looks like someone just wanted
to get him out of sight real quick.

Uh, okay, I'm gonna call this in.

Guys, go back and get us the radios.

We're gonna split up
and find this Winnebago.

And Marjan.

And Marjan.

(Marjan groans)

I don't hear anything.

Me either.

Maybe he's gone.

Okay. Okay.

Let's go back that way.

- (Marjan groans)
- (Mouse grunts)

Hello, friend.

Looks like that's it, friend.

OWEN: Marjan!

- (Marwani gasps)
- OWEN: Can you hear me?

Marwani!

(winces)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Don't make a sound.

Don't make a sound.

Or you're dead.

I'm dead anyway.

Yeah? Then I'll go do
your friend out there.

PAUL: Marjan!

It's Paul! Marjan!

Holler back!

Marwani, where you at?

PAUL: Marjan, can you hear me?

OWEN: Marjan!

Marjan, can you hear me?

Hey, Cap, I got a car in the ravine.

Looks like it was ran off the road.

Any sign of the bike?

PAUL (over radio):
No. Checking the wreck.

Hey, y'all, I found the Winnebago.

Her name's on the rental agreement.

This is Marjan's car.

Her car? What happened to the bike?

Nobody's home
but Marwani was definitely here.

OWEN (over radio): You sure?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

OWEN: Marjan!

Are you out there?

Marjan! Can you hear me?

This can end now, Grant.

Nobody else has to get hurt.

GRANT: Yeah, well, doesn't sound like

your friends are leaving anytime soon.

Just let her go.

Who?

Kiley?

No way.

I'm gonna find Kiley.

And then she's gonna
beg me to take her back

before it's done.

(laughs) Look at you.

You can't even stand up.

You know you're gonna bleed out

before they even find us down here.

You know what? You're right.

We can end this
and they won't hear a thing.

Don't even need to waste another b*llet.

Turn around.

(scoffs) Why don't
you just give me that?

I think you learned your lesson.

- He's lying.
- I know.

(g*nsh*t)

(groans, coughs)

(Grant groaning, screaming)

You guys hear that?

Yeah, but where the
hell is it coming from?

- MOUSE: We have to go.
- (Grant screaming)

(grunts)

It's okay. He's gone.

We did it.

No, we didn't.

You have to get up.

(groaning)

Marjan!

Marjan, we have to go.

I see smoke yards east of the truck.

MOUSE: Marjan! Marjan!

(dramatic music playing)

- Marwani.
- Cap?

Let me get you out of here.

No. Take her first.
You have to take Mouse.

You need to go with him.
You go with him.

- OWEN: I got you.
- Cap! You can't leave her.

It's okay, Marjan.

I'm gonna be okay now.

We both are.

(softly) Mouse?

(serene music playing)

(indistinct PA chatter)

Hey, sweetheart. Sorry to wake you.

I come bearing cronuts.

- Ooh!
- CARLOS: Yes.

Are these from that place on Fifth?

Babe, what, what is it called?

Twiggies.

Which you won't be
if you have a few of those.

I hope no one's on a wedding diet.

Oh, no, not today. I'm starving.

You're a lifesaver. Thank you.

- (Grace giggles)
- Um, no, no, no.

I hear that that title
belongs to all of y'all.

How's Marjan doing?

Um, she's good. She's stable.

Last we heard, they were,
um, finishing up a surgery,

cleaning out the b*llet wound.

Good. Other than that, she's okay?

Yeah, she got a concussion,

two cracked ribs,
and some smoke inhalation.

Mm-hmm. Nothing a little
R&R won't heal, though.

Which is the last thing
she's gonna wanna hear.

(chuckles) Right.

How was Izzy's recital last night?

Oh, magical.

For the first minutes
that she was on stage.

Then there were
the three and a half hours

that followed, yeah.

Babe, we gotta make sure
Charlie stays away from that ballet.

- Yeah.
- I got news for you.

Basketball camp isn't better.

Well, it could be that our daughter

just don't got no interests at all.

- Good luck with that.
- GRACE RYDER: Mm-hmm.

Oh, Captain, your timing

is impeccable as always.

Captain.

Who's here for Marjan Marwani?

Huh. So many.

I'm Dr. Cortes, her vascular surgeon.

The surgery was a complete success.

She's awake, but still a little
groggy from the anesthesia.

So can we go see her?

Yes, but not all at once.

We only allow two visitors
at a time on this floor,

so you'll have to go in shifts.

I'll let you sort it out.

- Paul, why don't you and I go first?
- Yeah.

Wait, hey, why you guys first?

Fine. Just don't take too long.

Knock, knock.

Hey, guys.

Hey, girl.

MARJAN: Hi.

You really picked a crazy way
to spend your vacation.

Next time, I'm gonna fly
and skip the drama.

Yeah, well, there's a lot
of drama in the air, too.

Trust me.

Ah.

So how you feeling?

Froggy.

Foggy.

It's a lot of painkillers.

So don't hold anything I say against me.

Don't worry, we won't.

Thanks for saving my ass, Cap.

We just gave your ass a ride.

You saved it yourself.

So you really sold the bike?

Come on now, Cap. Seriously?

I promise it was for a good cause.

Oh, I have no doubt.

But you didn't get $ more?

Uh-huh.

They-they told me that Grant...

Got what he deserved.

What about the older gentleman
that pulled over to help us?

He didn't make it. I'm sorry.

MARJAN: God keep him.

Wait, there-there,
there was another car.

The station wagon...

it swerved and there was
a family in it, Cap.

Mm-mm. There was no other car.

Are you sure?

Oh, yeah, we're-we're sure.

This concussion is no joke.

Yeah, you were pretty out of it
when we found you.

You thought you were
talking to somebody.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Somebody named Mouse.

No kidding.

That mean something to you?

Yeah.

(footsteps approaching)

Yeah, it does. Wow, I...

NURSE: These came for you.

Is it okay if I put them by the bed?

MARJAN: That'd be great, thank you.

How fancy.

Who are they from?

- Marjan?
- GIRL: Mom.

Dad.

We were so worried.

Joey... and his parents,

I couldn't save them.

I tried, but nobody came.

I know.

My baby, I know.

But you survived.

I didn't think I would.

I never felt so alone.

Always remember...

no matter what happens,

with Allah, you're never alone.

Understand?

Yes, Mom.

We love you so much, Marjan.

Our sweet little mouse.
