Uh, excuse me.

He's a nice guy.
Earmuffs.
Did you see him? Earmuffs? Yeah.
But not traditional.
Um nontraditional, like, for for for Like for noise reduction? Like at a shooting range or for working machinery? Yeah, exactly.
Did you see him? No.
I didn't see anyone in muffs of any kind.
Why did you ask me that question about the machinery? You got my hopes up.
Damn.
[SIGHS.]
He's just a little confused guy.
I'm so sorry.
I was going through, like, all the different kinds of earmuff situations I guess to just see it through.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Just worried about him.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Hey, bud? There's your muffs.
It's It's like a trail of his stuff.
[SIGHS.]
It ends here.
Why does he wear that gear? Blow to the head.
To his little head.
He can't really face the world head-on anymore.
GLENN: Did you ever know that you can go for a lot of days without eating food? But you can only live like three days without water? My new friend Paul told me that 'cause he was worried about me getting lost out here, and he asked me how long did I think you can go without drinking water, and I said, "A long time 'cause you can drink Pepsi and apple juice and stuff," and he said, "That's not what I mean.
What I mean is, how long can you go without drinking anything?" And I said, "Oh".
And he said, "Three days".
So, good to know 'cause I'm lost, and it's been a while since I've had apple juice or Pepsi or anything.
Until I met my friend Paul We're in the early stages of our friendship journey, and he teaches me things along the way.
Until I met Paul, I didn't know how many things I didn't know about everything.
He says my dad didn't really raise me, and I'm sort of like a wolf boy who was, like, raised by the wind or plants or something and who doesn't know stuff.
I guess he's right about my dad.
My dad spends a lot of time in A.
A.
He still drinks.
He just likes the shrimp cocktails at A.
A.
Then he likes the regular cocktails at Toby's Six Guns in Half Acre.
They call him the town drunk.
I don't know why.
I mean, I know why 'cause he's drunk all the time, but there are other guys in Half Acre who are, too.
So I don't know why he's the town drunk, but he is.
Anyway it's Father's Day today.
I bought my dad this sombrero, which I'm supposed to be camping with the guys, so I don't know how I'm gonna explain where I got him a sombrero, but I think I'm gonna die out here anyway, so What did I do wrong? Why am I lost? I don't always trust my decision-makings due to my dad being Well, there are some things that I've had to learn on my own, and that's okay.
Like, I learned that west is always to the left.
So after I bought the sombrero in the sombrero gift store, I tried to get on the right bus, and this guy told me to go west.
The bus to Hermosillo is on the west side of the station.
Thank you.
I bumped into some rough teens on my way left at the station.
They started fucking with me.
I think they wanted my shoes or something or my dad's sombrero, which they didn't get.
I fought them off.
Ow.
Ow! I started screaming from pain, but that spooked the dudes.
So they only took my belt, not my dad's sombrero or the $2,000 I'm supposed to bring to the bank for my friend Paul, 'cause that's in my underwear.
So I still have it, but, man, I'm lost as shit, just walking left, hoping to get back home because I wrote a stupid Moon note, and soon, they're gonna think I got kidnapped or something.

It's Father's Day.
What? Today.
It's Father's Day.
Remember how I told you I killed three people? Yeah.
I remember that.
But I whispered it? Yeah.
I remember that, too.
'Cause I didn't want anyone to know? Yeah.
Well, my dad knew about all three.
All about me.
And he loved me anyway.
He came to me one day, and he said, "New Leaf, I want you to know" He called you New Leaf? Yes.
It was important to me to turn the page.
And he respected that.
And he came to me 'cause he knew I contained secrets.
And he said, "New Leaf tell me everything.
" And I did.
And the first thing he said was, "Son, I love you.
" What else did he say? I don't know.
I never heard another sound other than the first thing he said which remained ringing and ringing in my head like a bell of love forever.
My dad.
[DOOR RATTLES.]
[DOOR RATTLES.]
HECTOR: I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm just saying, the only person that's gotten hurt, your husband hurt him, so And an ice-cream man, but that was extenuating.
Yeah.
MA: My son's nowhere near here my son.
We were told he was here.
He's nowhere near here, you.
I know.
I understand your plan parts of your plan.
Part of this awful thing, I believed my son was terribly ill.
You're gonna be okay.
Where's my husband? He's okay, too.
I mean I have his thumb, but, yeah.
Good Lord.
You want it? What are you talking about, you? I didn't do it.
He did it.
I just have it.
God damn it.
[SIGHS.]
I hurt a girl.
What? I hurt a girl, you.
I probably hurt her very badly.
I probably hurt her forever.
Yeah, well, that's, like that's, like, fucked up, so Don't you swear at me.
I'm not swearing at you, man.
I'm just swearing 'cause 'cause everything's messed up.
I'm out of shape.
It's Father's Day.
Fuck, I should be at the school talking about how cool my job is compared to the car guys.
You have children? Yeah, I do.
Sort of.
How can you sort of have children? No, I-I I totally have them, yeah.
I just I just don't have I don't know.
They don't They don't listen to me or, like, look at me.
Kids obey inner laws at certain ages.
Yeah, well Yeah, well, when I when I try to talk to them about things, about life, they don't listen, and then when I think of I think of something that they'll like and admire, they they don't see them.
They don't.
I'm fucked.
Why? Bank.
Bank.
I had to had to get some money in the bank.
My wife, she just buys, and Never mind.
Never mind.
What? She buys great gifts for the kids and me birthday, Father's Day every year.
Fuck, yeah.
I'm like, "Whoa.
What? How did you know?" I mean, totally, I'm like, "How did you know?" And then she she actually thinks of these things.
You know, not not like the morning of, when I'm like, "Shit.
It was just her birthday.
Now it's her birthday again?" So, like, I have to go out and and get something right away that looks like it was previously planned.
You know, Marisol she doesn't do that.
She gets it right.
She's the best.
You know, so what I'm saying is, today, when she go picks up my thing for Father's Day, it's probably gonna be a little a little expensive and cool, and then and then she's gonna look at our bank balance and see that it's less than she thinks because I I actually previously planned and bought a very thoughtful gift for another woman.
Yeah.
What are you making a hole for, you? Uh, you.
But not to Listen, I'm gonna put a breathing mechanism in there.
Don't worry.
I got a plan.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
[GRUNTS.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE.]
You shouldn't have come, man, to Mexico.
Could fuck everything up.
Well, I have to be here, James so-called James.
It's not so-called.
It's It's James.
I have to be here 'cause you're here, and if this Chili's device goes off, if I hear that awful buzz before this money's tucked back in the bank, I'm gonna fuckin' kill you.
Okay.
So, hence, I need to be where you are to kill you so-called James.

Felipe stopped the issuance, and I got a plan to get Paul.
Make sure that fucking money gets in that bank in Hermosillo.
Okay.
[BUS ENGINE IDLES.]
You're going to Hermosillo to find your little buddy? Then so am I.
GLENN: If they tell my story, they'll probably stop at some point around here and go, "Hey, man.
Why didn't you put the sombrero on for element protection?" And I'll go, "Because it's a gift, and I wanted my dad to have a fresh sombrero if I make it home.
" My dad wasn't always a bad dad.
Before he really started drinking, he would read to me and put me to sleep with "Call of the Wild".
But he doesn't read it to me anymore.
But I still want to go home.
My plan? To continue left to the Pacific Ocean and to drink from it and survive.
JAMES: Do you Do you still have the money? GLENN: Yeah in my underwear.
W-Where are you? I finally found a phone, Paul, but it might be a mirage.
Well, y-you're talking to me, right? Right.
Yeah.
So it's probably not a mirage.
Right.
So, okay.
Where are you? I'm on a highway at the exit for Hermosillo 1-1-slash-2 kilometers I think.
I can hardly see.
There's something wrong with my vision now.
Okay, okay.
You're only a mile from here, from the bank.
I don't feel right, Paul.
Even the darkness hurts now, and the silence.
W-W-We'll get some rest in a bit.
Just Just take the exit and and keep heading west, and I'll meet you at the bank.
West? Yeah, toward the sun, the setting sun.

Do you know what the extra mile is? No.
It's the last push you do to do something important and friendly in terms of friendship.
Okay.
Are you my friend, Paul? Yes.
And just wait till we have the shared experience of you going into the sun and more noise, probably, with the money over the extra mile.
We're gonna be real tight.

He's a nice guy.

I didn't see anyone in muffs of any kind.
Why did you ask me that question about the machinery? You got my hopes up.
Damn.
[SIGHS.]
He's just a little confused guy.
I'm so sorry.
I was going through, like, all the different kinds of earmuff situations I guess to just see it through.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Just worried about him.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Hey, bud? There's your muffs.
It's It's like a trail of his stuff.
[SIGHS.]
It ends here.
Why does he wear that gear? Blow to the head.
To his little head.
He can't really face the world head-on anymore.
GLENN: Did you ever know that you can go for a lot of days without eating food? But you can only live like three days without water? My new friend Paul told me that 'cause he was worried about me getting lost out here, and he asked me how long did I think you can go without drinking water, and I said, "A long time 'cause you can drink Pepsi and apple juice and stuff," and he said, "That's not what I mean.
What I mean is, how long can you go without drinking anything?" And I said, "Oh".
And he said, "Three days".
So, good to know 'cause I'm lost, and it's been a while since I've had apple juice or Pepsi or anything.
Until I met my friend Paul We're in the early stages of our friendship journey, and he teaches me things along the way.
Until I met Paul, I didn't know how many things I didn't know about everything.
He says my dad didn't really raise me, and I'm sort of like a wolf boy who was, like, raised by the wind or plants or something and who doesn't know stuff.
I guess he's right about my dad.
My dad spends a lot of time in A.
A.
He still drinks.
He just likes the shrimp cocktails at A.
A.
Then he likes the regular cocktails at Toby's Six Guns in Half Acre.
They call him the town drunk.
I don't know why.
I mean, I know why 'cause he's drunk all the time, but there are other guys in Half Acre who are, too.
So I don't know why he's the town drunk, but he is.
Anyway it's Father's Day today.
I bought my dad this sombrero, which I'm supposed to be camping with the guys, so I don't know how I'm gonna explain where I got him a sombrero, but I think I'm gonna die out here anyway, so What did I do wrong? Why am I lost? I don't always trust my decision-makings due to my dad being Well, there are some things that I've had to learn on my own, and that's okay.
Like, I learned that west is always to the left.
So after I bought the sombrero in the sombrero gift store, I tried to get on the right bus, and this guy told me to go west.
The bus to Hermosillo is on the west side of the station.
Thank you.
I bumped into some rough teens on my way left at the station.
They started fucking with me.
I think they wanted my shoes or something or my dad's sombrero, which they didn't get.
I fought them off.
Ow.
Ow! I started screaming from pain, but that spooked the dudes.
So they only took my belt, not my dad's sombrero or the $2,000 I'm supposed to bring to the bank for my friend Paul, 'cause that's in my underwear.
So I still have it, but, man, I'm lost as shit, just walking left, hoping to get back home because I wrote a stupid Moon note, and soon, they're gonna think I got kidnapped or something.

Remember how I told you I killed three people? Yeah.
I remember that.
But I whispered it? Yeah.
I remember that, too.
'Cause I didn't want anyone to know? Yeah.
Well, my dad knew about all three.
All about me.
And he loved me anyway.
He came to me one day, and he said, "New Leaf, I want you to know" He called you New Leaf? Yes.
It was important to me to turn the page.
And he respected that.
And he came to me 'cause he knew I contained secrets.
And he said, "New Leaf tell me everything.
" And I did.
And the first thing he said was, "Son, I love you.
" What else did he say? I don't know.
I never heard another sound other than the first thing he said which remained ringing and ringing in my head like a bell of love forever.
My dad.
[DOOR RATTLES.]
[DOOR RATTLES.]
HECTOR: I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm just saying, the only person that's gotten hurt, your husband hurt him, so And an ice-cream man, but that was extenuating.
Yeah.
MA: My son's nowhere near here my son.
We were told he was here.
He's nowhere near here, you.
I know.
I understand your plan parts of your plan.
Part of this awful thing, I believed my son was terribly ill.
You're gonna be okay.
Where's my husband? He's okay, too.
I mean I have his thumb, but, yeah.
Good Lord.
You want it? What are you talking about, you? I didn't do it.
He did it.
I just have it.
God damn it.
[SIGHS.]
I hurt a girl.
What? I hurt a girl, you.
I probably hurt her very badly.
I probably hurt her forever.
Yeah, well, that's, like that's, like, fucked up, so Don't you swear at me.
I'm not swearing at you, man.
I'm just swearing 'cause 'cause everything's messed up.
I'm out of shape.
It's Father's Day.
Fuck, I should be at the school talking about how cool my job is compared to the car guys.
You have children? Yeah, I do.
Sort of.
How can you sort of have children? No, I-I I totally have them, yeah.
I just I just don't have I don't know.
They don't They don't listen to me or, like, look at me.
Kids obey inner laws at certain ages.
Yeah, well Yeah, well, when I when I try to talk to them about things, about life, they don't listen, and then when I think of I think of something that they'll like and admire, they they don't see them.
They don't.
I'm fucked.
Why? Bank.
Bank.
I had to had to get some money in the bank.
My wife, she just buys, and Never mind.
Never mind.
What? She buys great gifts for the kids and me birthday, Father's Day every year.
Fuck, yeah.
I'm like, "Whoa.
What? How did you know?" I mean, totally, I'm like, "How did you know?" And then she she actually thinks of these things.
You know, not not like the morning of, when I'm like, "Shit.
It was just her birthday.
Now it's her birthday again?" So, like, I have to go out and and get something right away that looks like it was previously planned.
You know, Marisol she doesn't do that.
She gets it right.
She's the best.
You know, so what I'm saying is, today, when she go picks up my thing for Father's Day, it's probably gonna be a little a little expensive and cool, and then and then she's gonna look at our bank balance and see that it's less than she thinks because I I actually previously planned and bought a very thoughtful gift for another woman.
Yeah.
What are you making a hole for, you? Uh, you.
But not to Listen, I'm gonna put a breathing mechanism in there.
Don't worry.
I got a plan.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
[GRUNTS.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE.]
You shouldn't have come, man, to Mexico.
Could fuck everything up.
Well, I have to be here, James so-called James.

It's It's James.
I have to be here 'cause you're here, and if this Chili's device goes off, if I hear that awful buzz before this money's tucked back in the bank, I'm gonna fuckin' kill you.

So, hence, I need to be where you are to kill you so-called James.
[SIGHS.]

Felipe stopped the issuance, and I got a plan to get Paul.
Make sure that fucking money gets in that bank in Hermosillo.
Okay.
[BUS ENGINE IDLES.]
You're going to Hermosillo to find your little buddy? Then so am I.
GLENN: If they tell my story, they'll probably stop at some point around here and go, "Hey, man.
Why didn't you put the sombrero on for element protection?" And I'll go, "Because it's a gift, and I wanted my dad to have a fresh sombrero if I make it home.
" My dad wasn't always a bad dad.
Before he really started drinking, he would read to me and put me to sleep with "Call of the Wild".
But he doesn't read it to me anymore.
But I still want to go home.
My plan? To continue left to the Pacific Ocean and to drink from it and survive.
JAMES: Do you Do you still have the money? GLENN: Yeah in my underwear.
W-Where are you? I finally found a phone, Paul, but it might be a mirage.
Well, y-you're talking to me, right? Right.
Yeah.
So it's probably not a mirage.
Right.
So, okay.
Where are you? I'm on a highway at the exit for Hermosillo 1-1-slash-2 kilometers I think.
I can hardly see.
There's something wrong with my vision now.
Okay, okay.
You're only a mile from here, from the bank.
I don't feel right, Paul.
Even the darkness hurts now, and the silence.
W-W-We'll get some rest in a bit.
Just Just take the exit and and keep heading west, and I'll meet you at the bank.
West? Yeah, toward the sun, the setting sun.
Towards the sun? Yeah.
- Into the sun? - Yeah.
That's west? Yeah.
Fuck.
- Sure? - What? Are you sure? About the sun setting in the west? Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Fuck.
It's gonna hurt.
You can do it, Glenn.
Do you know what the extra mile is? No.
It's the last push you do to do something important and friendly in terms of friendship.
Okay.
Are you my friend, Paul? Yes.
And just wait till we have the shared experience of you going into the sun and more noise, probably, with the money over the extra mile.
We're gonna be real tight.
Go the extra mile, Glenn.

Try to get a ride.
Okay.
