01x11 - Jiro's Story

[bunniefuu]

I understand your attempt to

reach a plea bargain failed.

The State has made multiple offers

which the defendant

has refused to accept.

Counsel, have you

explained to your client

that the charges he's facing

carry mandatory prison time.

I have, Your Honor.

Mr. Tamura, are you

sure you want to proceed?

Yes, Your Honor. I'm sure.

Alright then, we'll take a short recess

and bring the jury in for a noon start.

My mother was a selfless woman,

devoted to our family,

and especially to my big brother, Osamu.

(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)

I never heard her complain,

not once.

Which is how she lived her life.

You know, most people

talk about "gratitude"

but my mother lived it.

Instead of dwelling on what

was painful or difficult,

she grabbed every moment of

grace and beauty she could.

She was my brother's

full-time caregiver,

but she also always found time

to be with her granddaughters,

who gave her so much joy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Look what we got you, Ojisan.

It's a tablet.

Can you say tablet?

(STUTTERING): T-tablet.

That's right. That's good.

It's easy to work it.

You just have to swipe

with your finger, like this.

See how easy it is? Here, you try.

If you ever feel lonely,

you can look at pictures of

Obaachan whenever you want.

Come on, honey, you

can show him in the car.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Okay, say goodbye to Ojisan, girls.

Bye. See ya.

We'll see you soon.

I'll bring you Bento like

Obaachan used to make.

Bye.

How old was Ojisan when

he had the accident?

Nine.

So, my age.

Yeah.

Does he know Obaachan is dead?

Of course he does.

Does he feel sad?

Ojisan can't always express

himself, but he feels things.

He loves you two very

much, you know that right?

I love him too.

Of course you do. He's our uncle.

Layla, please don't talk

to your sister that way.

Whatever.

Why can't he just live with us?

You know why, sweetheart.

Right?

(SIGHS)

It's nice here.

Oh, maybe you can try

some of the activities.

Have you met any new

people or made any friends?

(♪♪)

Hey, Sam, you gonna tell him?

- Hmm? You gonna tell him?

- Hey, hey, hey.

- You gonna tell him?

- Easy. Easy.

- You gonna tell him?

- What? Whoa, whoa.

- You gonna tell him?

- Easy.

- You gonna tell him?

- What?

What's he talking about? Tell me what?

Sam?

(STUTTERING): B-bad guy.

Bad guy? Come on.

I'm clearing out the rest

of Mom's stuff later today.

I'll bring it over, okay?

And you can pick out whatever

you want, how does that sound?

I'll bring over Mom's rice cooker

and they can cook you

gohan whenever you want it.

- Okay?

- Yeah?

Hey, what happened here?

Did you fall or something?

Then what happened?

(STUTTERING): Bad guy.

The guy we just ran into?

- (DOOR OPENING)

- Just checking in

to see how it went.

You okay, Sam?

Have, have you seen this, Leon?

You must've noticed this

when you got him dressed.

I wasn't on shift this morning, but um,

can I talk to you privately?

I'll be right back, okay?

What's up?

I heard Sam and another resident

got into a pretty heated

argument last night.

Apparently, it got pretty physical.

Someone was just harassing

my brother a few minutes ago.

A skinny guy in a red

t-shirt, is that

is that who gave my

brother those bruises?

Mr. Tamura, I realize

how upsetting it must be.

- Who is he?

- I'll keep an eye on the situation.

What's his name?

Kyle Tanner.

"Kip." I've seen him get territorial

when another resident moves in.

I'll keep an eye on the

situation for you, okay?

Who's gonna live in Obaachan's house?

Whoever buys it.

Which is why it has to be empty.

Do we get to choose who lives there?

Uh, not exactly.

Is that Ojisan's?

Yeah. Yeah.

You know, he could never

learn to swim like you,

but he always loved the water.

Obaachan got him floaties so she

could bring him in the pool with her.

Yeah, he's always loved

these even when he got bigger.

Does he have a pool at his new home?

There you are.

Katie and Mallory are already here.

We need to get changed

into your swimsuit.

Can I take Sealie?

Have at it. (CHUCKLING)

- I'll blow it up later, alright?

- Okay.

Is that everything?

Yeah.

Was it hard, being there?

(SOFT MUSIC)

You know, once I left for

college, I never looked back.

I left her to do everything for Osamu.

She never went on vacation,

she never even took a day off.

It made her happy.

She wanted you to live your life.

Or maybe she wanted

to spare me the guilt.

It's a big adjustment.

- Just give it a minute.

- (PHONE VIBRATING)

- (CHATTERING)

- (WHISTLE BLOWING)

Hey, Ashley.

Sorry to bother you,

I know you're dealing with family stuff.

No, that's okay. What's going on?

- Videla sh*t off his mouth at practice.

- Again?

Except this time someone

caught it on their phone.

And it's blowing up fast.

(SIGHS)

You keep tripping me when I pass.

What are you, some kind of cr*pple?

Well, we need to get ahead of it.

Okay. I'll make some calls.

(SIGHS) I gotta go in.

- Damage control.

- Now?

You wanna keep them in

private school, right?

- Yes, I do.

- Yes, you do.

So do I.

We're here to address the leaked video

that's been circulating online.

But let me first remind everyone

that whatever Videla said

that may have been hurtful

was said in the heat of

an intense team practice.

And before anyone rushes to judgment,

the team asks that we all exercise

some cultural sensitivity toward

Videla as a recent immigrant

who's still adjusting to a new culture

and to his new home here in America.

But I'll let him express his regret

in his own words. So, Videla?

(CAMERA SHUTTERS)

I, um

want to apologize to my teammates,

to my family,

and to the disability community

for any pain I may have

inadvertently caused.

You're a Jedi spin doctor,

playing the immigrant card.

We'll see.

Seriously, though,

great job coaching him.

Except he's still a monster.

- (PHONE CHIMING)

- With a 20-million dollar foot.

If I can just keep it out of his mouth.

- Excuse me.

-

Leon, what's going on?

I'm in the ER with your brother.

He fell down some stairs.

The doctor ordered a CT,

but your brother's fine,

they didn't find any

bleeding in his brain.

But wait, he's never had a

problem navigating stairs.

Did you see him fall?

No, I I saw him right after.

Did anyone see him?

Not that I'm aware of.

So how do you know he wasn't pushed?

The State doesn't refute

that the defendant was

protective of his brother.

That's something we can

all respect and admire.

But while we might sympathize

with Mr. Tamura's motivations,

the fact is we're here today

because Mr. Tamura made a choice.

He acted recklessly.

Dangerously.

And his actions had consequences.

(THEME MUSIC)

Hey.

How you doing? You okay?

- (SMALL WHIMPER)

- Other than the four stitches, he's fine.

Did you find out anything

more about how this happened?

I tried asking him, but we're

still learning how to communicate.

Buddy. Hey, hey.

Did you fall?

How? Did you trip?

Lose your balance? No? No?

Or did someone push you?

Someone pushed you.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(STUTTERING): Tablet.

Okasan.

He was saying that before.

Oka something I mean,

I didn't understand.

Okasan is Japanese for mother.

You were you were

looking at pictures? Yeah?

Where's his tablet?

Oh I I didn't know he had one.

Bad guy. Bad guy.

Kip?

Did Kip take your tablet?

Hey, Sam, Sam, you need to tell me.

Kip, we met before,

remember? I'm Sam's brother.

My room.

You took his tablet and I want it back.

Where is it?

My room.

- My stuff.

- You know what?

Just tell me where you put his tablet.

My room.

My stuff.

You don't want to tell me? Fine.

I'll find it myself. Hey!

Hey, watch it.

My room. My stuff.

Mr. Tamura,

you can't just barge into

another resident's room.

He took my brother's tablet.

I'm not leavin' until I get it back.

Look, I was wrong to barge in like that

but I didn't know what else to do.

He took Sam's tablet and

pushed him down those stairs.

Is that what Sam told you?

As best he could.

What did he say?

(SIGHS)

Look, obviously his

communication is limited,

but it's pretty clear that guy

Kip is harassing my brother.

My understanding is that it was Sam

who instigated the initial altercation.

Leon said it was the other way around.

I said they had an altercation.

You said Kip was territorial

with new residents.

- I also said I wasn't there.

- Why are you defending him?

Who is this guy, Kip?

What's his condition, and

how long has he been here?

Mr. Tamura, that information is private

and protected by HIPAA regulations.

He's threatening my brother,

physically and emotionally.

What part of that don't you get?

Mr. Tamura was convinced

that his brother

was being harassed by another resident.

Kyle Tanner?

Yes. "Kip."

Did the defendant

claim to have witnessed

this alleged harassment?

No. At least not directly.

So would you describe

the defendant's behavior

- as paranoid?

- Objection, Your Honor.

- Improper characterization.

- Sustained.

Your Honor, the witness holds

a PhD in clinical psychology.

It's her professional assessment.

(JUDGE): Still, it's a leading question.

Alright, then.

Dr. Weatherford, please confirm

that this is the email you sent

to your company's legal counsel

- regarding Mr. Tamura.

- It is.

Would you please read the

fourth and the fifth sentences.

They're highlighted.

(TENSE MUSIC)

"From the time Mr. Tamura

brought his brother to live

at Wildwood Gardens, he's been

harboring a paranoid fantasy

that his brother is being

abused by another resident.

I'm bringing this to your attention now

because I'm concerned

Mr. Tamura's behavior

may turn violent."

- All right, pal.

- One more question before you go?

(CHATTERING)

Hey, Videla, can we talk?

(SIGHS)

You see those sports writers over there?

The one in the light grey

polo that's Tom Deitch,

- from the Daily.

- Okay. What about him?

Well, he was about to ambush

you because he had heard

you'd missed your first

sensitivity training session.

- (SIGHS)

- Yeah.

I ran interference, told him

you had a last-minute conflict,

but you're still looking forward

to attending the sessions.

Okay.

Okay what?

Well, what do you want me to say?

You did your job so I can do mine.

Your job also includes

attending sensitivity training.

Especially after you

publicly announced you would.

Because that's what you told me to say.

Videla, listen, you can't

just say you'll do something

and then not do it. Words matter.

When you make a promise,

people expect you to keep it.

- You understand how that

- Alright, don't talk to me like a child.

I don't have brain damage.

Hey! Did you not listen

to anything I just said?

That is derogatory and offensive,

and don't act like you don't

know what I'm talkin' about.

(♪♪)

(SIGHING)

Look, I'm sorry. Okay?

- This is a sensitive subject

- Whatever.

Well I

(JOURNALIST): Videla, hey!

We just have one question.

(JOURNALISTS CLAMORING)

You didn't find anything I

couldn't have found myself.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Why would I pay for

information I could've gotten

- off the internet for free?

- We did do what you asked.

- No.

- Yes. Exactly what you asked.

You know what? You know what?

Just give me back my

money and we'll call it

- I'm afraid we can't do that.

- What do you mean you can't?

- Well, we did our job, sir.

- Why can't you?

- Read the contract.

- (PHONE BEEPING)

Hold on.

Hey, Ashley, what's up?

Videla's manager is

threatening to file a complaint

with the State Board of Labor Relations.

- What?

- He says you're creating

a hostile work

environment for his client.

Oh, for God's sake.

You berated him in

front of the entire team.

- That is not true.

- No?

Some of the other players

may have overheard us, but

Ashley, the guy is a

public relations nightmare.

Who happens to be carrying

the fate of this entire club

squarely on his shoulders.

Look, I tried to apologize

but he walked away.

If you want, I will call him back.

I will make this right.

It won't do any good, Jiro.

What are you saying?

I'm putting you on an

indefinite leave of absence.

You're not serious.

Videla says he won't play

if you're on the payroll.

And you're siding with him?

Oh come on Jiro, I'm

siding with the team.

But listen, Videla says he

will reconsider if you enroll

in sensitivity training.

Are you kidding me?

Does he think this is some kinda joke?

Ashley, the guy is a liar and bigot

and I'm the one who needs help?

I don't have a choice,

you understand that, don't you?

Wait, she fired you?

Technically, it's a leave of absence.

Does she have any idea what

you've been dealing with?

She doesn't care about

my brother any more

than those people at Wildwood Gardens.

Oh Jiro, I'm sorry, but

you have to let that go.

Okay? They said they were

doing everything they could

to monitor the situation.

- That's their job.

- Well maybe I don't trust them.

What, you think they're lying to you?

Why? Why would they do that?

To protect themselves.

Liability.

I've been trying to

find out if this guy Kip

has any kind of a

criminal record. And I just

I just wasted $500

on a dead-end pointless record search.

Well, if nothing came up,

maybe that's your answer.

Not if the records are sealed.

Which they would be under

California law, right?

Yeah.

I've been thinking

you have clearance from the DA's office.

- Maybe you could look for me?

- Jiro, I can't do that.

Why not?

Well, for one thing, the State monitors

everyone who accesses that database.

It's not like you'd be hacking in.

You're allowed to log

on whenever you want.

Not for something like this.

Sarah, if the guy has

a history of v*olence,

we can't risk keeping Sam there.

We looked at five different facilities,

your mom chose Wildwood, because

it was the closest to us, right?

If you'll just look, we can

make an informed decision.

Why won't you do this for me?

Because it's an ethical violation.

Really?

Or are you worried

you'll find something.

- Excuse me?

- Maybe you'd rather not know, huh?

Not your problem, right?

Seriously? You did not just say that.

Well, Sarah, you know what?

I'm just having a hard time

understanding why you're not helping me.

Oh, god.

Hi honey, why aren't you sleeping?

You woke me up.

I'm sorry.

I'll take you back to bed, okay?

- Come on.

- Why were you guys were yelling?

(SIGHS)

I was angry. Yes. Of course I was.

But not paranoid.

I'd seen the bruises.

Okay? I I saw the

look in my brother's eyes.

I knew in my gut

someone was hurting him,

and no one seemed to care.

(ANGSTY MUSIC)

What are you doing?

Jiro?

- Are you serious?

- Okay, look

I said no!

Okay. I was very clear.

Do you want to get me disbarred?

Do you want us both out of a job?

Wow, thanks. Really supportive.

I've been trying to be supportive!

That is all I'm trying to do!

Because I know you're grieving.

But honestly, this isn't healthy.

This isn't you. This

fixation, this rage,

the way you're flying off the handle.

Yeah, God forbid,

right? For once in my life.

What does that even mean?

Maybe for once I'm not

making everybody happy.

Everybody else.

(SIGHS)

Look, you're right, okay?

I shouldn't have done that.

I'm sorry.

I am.

But

what if he's dangerous?

And what if they are hiding something?

I made a promise to my mother

that Sam would be okay

after she was gone.

He's not okay, Sarah.

I can't

I can't just

(SHUDDERING BREATH)

Okay.

If we do this and there's

nothing, will that help you?

Will you let this go?

Yes.

And will you talk to someone?

A therapist? A grief counsellor?

- Okay.

- Do you promise?

Yeah.

Okay.

No, I'll do it. Can you

just stand over there?

(CHUCKLING)

- Does it really make a difference?

- Can you just

- Okay.

- Please? Thank you.

Kip Tanner, right?

His legal name is Kyle.

(SIGHS) Kyle Tanner.

I just need to run this

through an encryption program.

Thank you.

What if this is me?

All this

anger.

I don't know.

It doesn't make sense.

Maybe it does.

Like you said, you spent your whole life

trying to make everyone happy.

Being the one that nobody worried about

because you had to.

You had no choice.

I don't have a right to complain.

If the car had been hit from the

other side, it would've been me.

I walked away with two broken ribs.

You paid a price too.

Oh, my god.

What? What is it?

He does have a record.

For what?

He was arrested three times.

The last one was two years ago,

he was charged with aggravated as*ault.

Instead of prison, he spent part of his

term in a state psychiatric hospital.

Until his sentence was commuted

and he was transferred

to Wildwood Gardens.

He is dangerous.

After your call last night,

I authorized Leon to search Kip's room

and he found this.

Of course, it doesn't prove anything

other than that he stole

your brother's tablet.

So you're not doing anything.

- Mr. Tamura

- My brother's body is bruised.

- We can't

- Kyle Tanner

has been transferred

to another facility.

The property theft was a

violation of his probation.

So he's gone.

As of this morning.

I apologize that this happened

and if you want, I can

launch a full investigation.

No. That

That's not necessary.

As long as he's away from my brother.

(EXCITED CHATTER)

Hey.

Leon found it in Kip's room.

Hey, he won't bother you anymore.

I promise, okay?

You wanna look at some

pictures, together?

Come on.

(SOFT MUSIC)

I have your Sealie

floatie in the garage.

You can come over to the house

whenever you want to swim.

(CHUCKLES)

(♪♪)

Okasan.

You miss her, don't you?

Me too.

(STUTTERING): Bento.

(LAUGHING)

She made the best bento, right?

- Tamagoyaki.

- That was my favorite too.

(♪♪)

Hey, how was the swim?

Awesome.

What are you doing?

I'm making a bento box for Ojisan.

I can help.

I'd love that. Layla,

- what about you?

- Homework.

Tamagoyaki?

Yeah, Obaachan's special recipe.

Sugar, mirin, soy

sauce, a pinch of salt.

But this is the secret.

- "HonDashi."

- HonDashi.

That's what gives it that umami.

One teaspoon.

How come you never taught us

how to make Obaachan's recipe?

He's teaching you now.

But let's get you out of the

wet bathing suit first, okay?

Okay.

Ashley's on the phone.

I just, I didn't want you to miss it.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

- Ashley?

- (MAN): Hold please.

(ASHLEY): How're you doing, Jiro?

Uh, good. Thank you.

The situation with my

brother's been resolved, so I'm

(SIGHS) I'm much better.

(WHISPERING): The sensitivity.

Uh, I even signed up

for sensitivity training.

So you're ready to come back to work.

Yes.

Good. Because I think Videla

is open to hearing from you.

That's great. I'll call

him as soon as we hang up.

Better to do it in person.

The team's leaving for some

exhibition games tomorrow,

you can talk to him on the plane.

- Uh, what time?

- Wheels up at 7:30.

I'll let him know beforehand

so he's not blindsided.

- Thank you, Ashley.

- See you tomorrow.

That's good news.

- (JIRO SIGHS)

- What's wrong?

I

promised Sam I'd drop off that bento.

I'll do it. I'll take the girls.

Hey, your brother will be

here when you get back, okay?

But your job might

not be if you don't go.

Mm.

Hi, good morning.

Um, I'm dropping this off for

my brother Osamu Tamura, Sam.

Um, visiting hours

start at seven o'clock,

but if you leave it here I'll

have someone bring it to him.

It's perishable, so I'd like to

put it in his fridge if that's okay.

Visiting hours start at seven o'clock.

That's in 20 minutes, and

I have a flight to catch.

Look, my brother is an early

riser, I won't be waking him.

Just please sign in.

I appreciate it.

(EERIE MUSIC)

Sam?

- Sam?

- (WHIMPERING)

What the hell.

Sam? Hey.

Oh, no.

- Oh, no.

- (WHIMPERING CONTINUES)

I gotcha, bud. It's okay.

Hey, hey, hey. It's gonna be okay.

I'm here. We're gonna

get you outta here okay?

Can you sit up? I need you to sit up.

Sit up. I need you to sit up.

(GRUNTING)

I got you. It's okay.

Ready? We're gonna get up.

Bad guy.

Whatever your thinking is wrong.

I don't want to hear it!

Move out of the way.

- You can't take him off site

- Don't ever touch me!

(SCREAMING) We trusted you!

Jiro, Jiro, Jiro, Jiro!

Hey, hey. Shh. Shh.

Come on.

- Come on.

- (WHIMPERING)

Come on, come on.

You sent Leon to the emergency room.

With an orbital fracture

and a severe concussion.

You left him unconscious,

bleeding out on the floor.

He was abusing my brother.

So you say.

Was that allegation ever substantiated?

I was there. I saw it.

So why not call out for help?

- Reach out to the senior staff on site?

- Because I didn't trust them.

- What about the police?

- I I just, I needed to get him out.

That was all I could think about.

Because you thought he'd be safer

with you.

Yes.

And was he?

- (WHIMPERING)

- Hey.

I know it's cold, but it'll

help with the swelling.

Hold it on your eye, okay?

- (STUTTERING): Cold.

- I know.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Oh, Ashley.

You haven't told her you're not going?

You were supposed to be on

the plane 15 minutes ago.

I know, I know, I know, I know.

- Where the hell are you?

- Ashley? I'm sorry, I should've called before.

We're about to take off.

I thought your family crap was resolved.

I know. I know. I thought

it was over too but it wasn't.

- You said you would

- What happened to Ojisan?

He got hurt, honey,

but he's gonna be okay.

Is that why the police are here?

- (ASHLEY TALKING ON THE PHONE)

- There are cops outside.

- What's going on?

- (DOORBELL RINGING)

Ashley, I'm sorry, but I

really gotta jump, okay?

Okay, girls, I'm gonna

go talk to the police.

- Can you stay with Ojisan?

- Okay.

Yeah, I know. Ashley, I know,

you put yourself on the line

for me and I'm grateful but

Look, I really have to go. I'm sorry.

- (SIGHS)

- What do they want?

Mr. Tamura?

Yes.

We're responding to a call about

an alleged as*ault and abduction.

If anyone's been

assaulted, it's my brother.

- Osamu.

- Yeah.

Right. Is he here? 'Cause

we'd like to talk to him.

He can't communicate very

well, his speech is limited.

Why don't we sort this

out at the precinct?

- Officer

- There's nothing to 'sort.'

Okay? Whatever they told you is crap.

They're just trying

to cover their asses.

Jiro. Officer, I'm his wife

and I'm also an attorney.

We're the victims here.

Maybe we can come in and talk about it.

Not unless you have a warrant.

Which I'm guessing you don't have,

otherwise you wouldn't be asking.

Daddy! Daddy! Ojisan's in the pool.

Sam!

- (STRESSFUL MUSIC)

- Sam!

Sam. Sam.

(OFFICER): Flip him over. Flip him over!

Bring him in.

Up. Up!

- (GRUNTING)

- Got him.

(SUNNY): Ojisan!

Girls, come inside. Come inside.

He's not breathing.

No pulse.

(OFFICER): Request an ambulance.

18 Teakwood Lane. We got a 10-32.

(CRYING): He saw Sealie,

but there wasn't any air!

I said I'd get the pump, but he fell in.

It's okay. Shh.

(LAYLA): I'm so sorry. I

shouldn't have left them.

- It's my fault.

- It's not your fault, honey.

- It was an accident.

- (SOBBING)

(RADIO): Dispatch, EMS will

be there in five minutes.

(OFFICER): Copy.

California law defines

criminal negligence

as "a gross deviation from a

reasonable standard of care."

That standard is especially

high when it comes to dependent adults,

as I'm sure you're aware?

I am, yes.

And just to be clear:

you forcibly removed your

brother from the facility

legally entrusted with his care,

transported him to your home

where you have an

unfenced backyard pool,

and left him unsupervised,

knowing full well he couldn't swim

and would easily drown if he fell in.

Well, thankfully he didn't.

Yes.

Thankfully.

But he very well could have.

Because of your negligence.

Because your so-called

attempt to save him

nearly ended his life.

Objection, Your Honor.

Argumentative.

Sustained.

- That's all I've got.

-

Any redirect, Mr. Black?

Uh, Your Honor, I'd like

a brief recess to confer.

- Fifteen minutes?

- Yes, Your Honor.

(CHATTERING)

I've been reading that jury.

The way they're looking at him.

I have a bad feeling this is

going in the wrong direction

but tell me if you think I'm wrong.

We need to go back to the DA and

tell him we're taking the plea.

- I can see if it's still on the table.

- I'm here, you know.

I'm sorry, but we have to be realistic.

Okay? You have a choice in this.

I'm not pleading guilty. I can't.

Jiro.

You may lose this.

I know.

- Which means you could go to prison.

- I know, Sarah. I know!

And what about me?

What about the girls?

The damage you could do to them.

This is your life.

Your family.

Are you really willing

to take that risk?

Mr. Tamura,

I have only one last question.

You have been repeatedly offered

a plea bargain in this case.

One that would allow you to

avoid prison time altogether?

Yes. You've advised me to accept it.

Why won't you?

Because accepting the plea

would disqualify me

from applying to become

my brother's legal guardian.

Which is what I should have

done after our mother d*ed.

And for that I'm

I'm truly sorry.

Look honestly, I'd always felt ashamed.

Letting my mother care

for Osamu his whole life

it's something I imagined

could only be a burden.

When she d*ed, my wife

and I told ourselves

he'd be better served

with professionals.

People with expertise.

But the truth is we were scared.

Of what it might mean to

care for him ourselves.

Between our careers and

raising our daughters,

I thought it was too much.

That it would spread us too thin.

But if I've learned anything

from this experience,

it's that my basic assumption was wrong.

Caring for my brother

won't subtract from how

we parent our children, or do our jobs.

If anything, bringing

Osamu into our home

will make us better parents.

And me a better husband.

And I can't get past

the idea that I might

(SHAKY BREATH)

I might not get that chance.

(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)

I've made mistakes, okay?

And for those I am sorry.

But I can't plead guilty if it

means they won't let me bring

my brother home.

(SOBBING QUIETLY)

I'm begging you.

Please.

Let me do it right this time.

(SNIFFING)

Come on, Ojisan!

(SUNNY): You can do

this. We're right here.

Come on, Ojisan.

- Come on, we'll catch you.

- Come on, you can.

(LAYLA): You can do it.

We're right here.

- We'll catch you. We promise!

- We'll catch you!

(LAYLA): The water's just right.

(SUNNY): Come on, Ojisan! Come on!

- You got this.

- Come on.

- We're waiting for you!

- Hey.

Hey. It's okay, Sam.

If you don't want to go in now,

we can always try again tomorrow, okay?

(EXHALING)

(♪♪)

(SUNNY): You can do

it. We're right here.

(BOTH): 1, 2, 3!

(CHEERING)

- (SUNNY): I knew you could do it!

- (SARAH): Way to go, Sam!

Alright, Sam!

- (SUNNY): See? It wasn't so hard.

- (JIRO): Way to go, buddy.

(LAUGHING)

Nice.
