Dear Edward (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

Truth

1
Motherfucker!
What if she's a psycho?
She hunted you down in ShopRite and
put a shrunken head in your hands.
She's definitely a psycho.
This isn't a good idea.
- We should go.
- Are you kidding?
Dude, we're finally
gonna get some answers.
Like, who is she, how is she
connected to your brother,
why did she come all the way out to
Nyack to give you a shrunken head.
We are not going anywhere.
- She's late.
- So?
- Uh, so it's rude. We should go.
- Dude, you need to relax.
- Hey.
- You showed up.
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't a big deal.
Uh, anyway, um, hey.
Hi. Hey.
Um, I I didn't know
you were bringing someone.
Oh, I'm sorry. I I hope it's okay.
She's, um This is my neighbor.
- It's Shay. Nice to meet you.
- Uh, you too.
So, uh, we're gonna sneak in.
- Uh, isn't that illegal?
- No, it's fine. We'll do it.
Okay. Uh, when I go, go. Don't
hesitate. Don't meet anyone's eye.
Don't look guilty. This is perfect.
Come on.
- Sir?
- Now!
Not bad. Little criminals, huh?
Yeah, no big deal.
I think I just had a heart attack.
Follow me.
Fee-fi-fo-fum.
Oh, come on. More ferocious.
Ready? Fee-fi-fo-fum!
Fee-fi-fo-fum!
Yes! I'm terrified.
Uncle Kojo, you do one.
Fee-fi-fo-fum.
Show him how it's done.
Fee-fi-fo-fum!
Yes, yes. You crushed it.
You are a magnificent giant.
You're coming too, right?
I I
Niece, Adriana's very busy
with the campaign and all
But you have to be there. You
have to see my new costume.
Then I'll be there.
It's okay. We d
Kojo, I wouldn't miss this for anything.
Okay, wanna try again?
Ready? Give it to me. Go.
Fee-fi-fo-fum.
Add the steps. Big steps. Go. Again.
Fee-fi-fo-fum!
Oh, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Hello?
Oh, God. Hi. It's just Dee Dee.
Yeah. Sorry.
- Steve, right?
- Uh
- You all right?
- Mm-hmm.
Holy shit. I mean, sorry. You okay?
I should leave.
Can I Let me help you.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Oh, that's a shiner.
Let me You know what, let's
Let me clean you up.
Let's go to the bathroom.
Come on. Come on. Come on, come on.
- All right.
- Okay. Oh, boy.
- Rough night, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- Sorry.
- It's okay.
Did you go to cosmetology
school or something?
No. No, this is just years of practice.
Sorry, does that hurt?
All right, come on. Fess up.
What the hell happened to you?
I got into a bar fight.
- A ba
- Yeah.
Aren't you, like, a gazillionaire?
Do gazillionaires get into bar fights?
I, uh
I couldn't face my fiancée, and I
think I deserved a punch in the face.
Okay.
Yeah, I've had some wild nights.
Don't think I ever ended up passed
out in a church basement though.
But I figure, if you can't be a
wreck in front of the man upstairs,
what can you do, you know?
- What
- Move.
What Oh. Splashed.
Mmm.
- You all right? Oh, boy.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna take this off.
Okay.
It was last season anyway.
Mmm. 'Kay.
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
You need water and a cupcake.
Brb.
So, why did you come to the supermarket
and give Edward the shrunken head?
- Shay.
- What?
I'm sorry. You don't
You don't have to
No, it's okay. Um, look, I'm
sorry if I freaked you out.
I just I was confused.
Yeah. It's okay.
Seriously?
- What?
- Have you seen the locks yet?
They're way less creepy.
Come on. I'll show you.
We'll be right back, okay?
Yeah, sure.
So, uh, Jordan was your boyfriend?
Yeah he was.
And you guys came here together?
All the time.
That's where we had our first kiss.
Oh.
That's where we had our first argument.
No, I-I'm not saying we're
breaking up, I'm just
You're moving across the country.
- We'll FaceTime and text every day.
- It's not the same.
You think I wanna move to LA?
So, uh, why didn't he tell me about you?
He told me everything.
I needed it to be secret. My uncle
doesn't let me go out with boys.
My family is this cultural stereotype.
But Jordan wanted it to be secret too.
But he could have trusted me.
I wouldn't have told our parents.
He didn't want anyone to know.
You mean me? So he So
Jordan hated me or something?
No. No, he loved you
more than anything, Eddie.
And anytime he'd talk
about you, he just
He'd have this huge smile on his face.
But he needed his own life.
He said sometimes he didn't know
where you ended and he began.
You guys shared everything.
It's why he didn't wanna
be homeschooled anymore.
So you knew about that too?
He wanted to tell you so much, he
just He couldn't bear to hurt you.
Wait, I I thought I told
you all that in my letter.
Uh, what letter?
The one I sent you.
Uh, I never got a letter.
Shit. Maybe I dropped
it at the wrong house.
Most of this stuff is fake. Who
would pay $30 to get into this place?
I thought you loved it here.
Not anymore. Can we get some food now?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Uh, maybe maybe in a little while?
Whatever. I'll meet
you in the gift shop.
Great. I'll-I'll be there in a few.
Eddie, can I ask you something?
Yeah.
Could you
Could you tell me about
that day, about the flight?
I just have nightmares about it,
what it was like for you, for him.
Look, I hope it's okay to ask.
I just I-I need to know.
Head down!
Uh, I I blacked out.
Yeah, I
And
And when I came to
I was in the hospital.
I don't remember
anything about that day.
Sorry.
You have nothing to be sorry for.
It's subtle, the way
that it happens, really.
They're not like, "Hey,
you're pregnant. You're fired,"
because I'd sue them.
Um, but they do just give
you fewer and fewer shifts.
And eventually, I'm gonna
have to tell my roommates
that I can't make rent.
Which is awkward because
ever since I got pregnant,
they don't know I'm alive.
Um
So just to recap, um,
six months pregnant,
no partner,
no money,
no baby's room no crib,
no stroller, and soon, no job.
So, I don't even know
how I got pregnant.
I mean, I know how I got
pregnant, but I don't know
how I got in this situation
because we were very, very cautious.
Um, yeah. Not the plan.
Hey, Linda.
You said you don't have
all your baby stuff yet?
I Yeah. It
- It's a lot.
- Pretty sure I can help.
- Hi.
- How was your group?
- Good. We're all cured.
- Well, perfect, because you are very busy.
Hi, Kojo.
We have to get to the panel
with NYU's Young Democrats,
and that's before your five o'clock.
We also added a fundraiser
tomorrow night at 6:00.
- We're adding things?
- You got plans?
Well, Becks is in a school play,
and I told her that I'd be there. So
This fundraiser is important.
Mayor Adams will be there.
Look, you nailed the debate
and the right people noticed.
This is major league.
I'll be in the car.
You good?
You just agreed to be
in two places at once,
and I don't have to tell you which
place I think you will choose.
- I will make it work.
- You are getting too close to her.
Okay.
She just lost her mother.
I can see the way she looks
at you. She's growing attached.
We are going to Ghana soon.
You are becoming the congresswoman.
Maybe we shouldn't be
around you so much anymore.
Um, can can I help you?
Nope, I got it.
I'm sorry. Uh, who are you?
Vernon. Who are you?
Sam.
- Did you know Ben?
- Yeah, I was an old friend.
- You?
- Same.
- What are you What are you doing here?
- Ben let me store some of my stuff here.
Oh, okay. Um, I'm actually
I'm helping his grandmother
sort through all this,
- so if you could
- Clear my shit out. Yeah.
- Uh, when you can.
- No problem.
- How'd you know Ben?
- Uh, high school. Basketball team.
Sorry, he didn't seem like a jock.
Yeah, he wasn't very good.
Still can't believe he's gone.
He was just so beautiful.
Yeah.
Anyway, um
I'm probably gonna be
shutting this place down
at the end of the month, so
Got it. Can I have your phone for a sec?
Oh, um
We should have each other's contacts
in case questions come
up on the storage unit,
and if you ever need to talk.
Oh that's, uh
I don't I don't, um
I don't I don't need to talk, s
Well, I sure as shit do.
You're the first person
I've seen who knew him too.
Yep. Um, I will be in touch about,
you know, shutting this place down, s
- Good to meet you, Sam.
- Yeah, yeah, you too.
- Beep-beep.
- Oh
I'm sorry, I lied.
That is not the best
sleeping bag on Earth, okay?
This is the best sleeping bag
on Earth. Feel this material.
Okay.
- Ooh, wow, wow, wow.
- Yeah.
- Mom, feel this. So squishy.
- That feels great.
- Yeah.
- But, you know
I mean, you're not going to Antarctica.
I just think we don't really
need a $700 sleeping bag, right?
- Mom.
- No worries.
I'll go and grab some, uh,
bags at lower price point.
That would be wonderful, Erasmus.
- Erasmus, yeah. Thank you.
- Oh, I like that name.
- Interesting. Greek?
- My mom gave it to me.
Dad always said to buy the
best and amortize the cost
over total length of
use. This is the best.
Well, it's a little more
complicated than that, but
- Complicated how, Mom?
- We're gonna be fine.
We just need to tighten
our budgets, that's all.
"Tighten our budgets?" Those
are not words that you say.
I feel like this isn't the time
or the place to have this con
Mom, can you just tell
me what's going on?
What's going on is, your father and I
spent our lives so you
could go to college.
- Is this really about
- I don't want you to throw that away
traipsing around the world in
the most expensive sleeping bag
because your father's dead.
God, mom. I told you that this
is what I need to do, okay?
And you said that you would support
me, and you are not supporting me.
Honey, your father died.
And I know you wanna run away.
I wanna run away too. I do.
But life has to go on.
We have to keep living our lives,
and we have to, like, face
the grief and the pain.
You can't run away from that.
He He was my best friend.
I know.
I know.
I know.
Hey.
Hey.
I need to apologize.
Okay.
I think I messed this
whole Mahira thing up.
I mean, she told me so much,
and I I couldn't give her
the one thing she asked for.
And now she might not
wanna ever talk to me again.
I guess there's no point.
I don't know what to do.
What do you think?
You're an asshole, Edward.
Fuck.
I'm so thrilled that you're
here. Those are lovely.
- Thank you for inviting me.
- Hmm.
Wow, this place is crazy.
I know. We got really lucky.
Please make yourself at home.
You're here.
I'm gonna put these in water.
Steve, pour Amanda some wine.
- I love that jacket, by the way.
- Thank you.
Why did you show up?
You really think I wanna be here?
She texted me, like, ten times.
- And you're ghosting me. What the fuck?
- Eat, have dessert, then leave.
Don't let her pull you
into a deep conversation.
Oh, trust me, the second I get a
chance to be out of here, I'm gone.
- What the hell happened to your eye?
- Bar fight.
You? When?
Last night, after I left you.
Hey. Ready to eat?
I'm so grateful you
guys have that group.
I had to basically
force Steve to join it.
- Right, honey?
- She did.
Oh, my God. Your eye's getting worse.
I go away for two days and he
decides to take boxing lessons.
Hmm.
I can't imagine what
you're going through.
If I lost Steve, I'd crumble
into a million pieces.
Yeah, I should, uh I
should probably go home.
- I'll call you a Lyft.
- Oh, no, don't go.
I'm so sorry. I promised
Steve I'd keep it light.
I guess I'm just so happy
that you guys found each other.
I know how much Steve needs this.
He could never heal things with Brent.
He wanted that more than anything.
- He did?
- Of course he did.
The Lyft will be downstairs
in three minutes, so
Guess Steve never told
you that Brent came to him,
begged his forgiveness,
and Steve told his
brother to go fuck himself.
- What?
- I believe that's the exact quote.
- Right, Steve?
- What is she talking about?
He showed up unannounced at
my office after two years
Because you were refusing
his calls and texts.
He came to your office?
Did Brent ever tell you how many nights
I had to hold my mother who was weeping
because her son was a junkie? Her baby.
My dad didn't comfort
her. He's not capable.
Oh, no, no, it was me. It was all on me.
Night after night, holding
her and comforting her,
and and he thinks he can
just show up years later,
we're gonna hug it out, and
everything's gonna be okay? Fuck him.
- Steve.
- No When he came to you,
he was sober for 18 months.
He was doing great.
And then after he saw you, he
was using again two weeks later.
Oh, bullshit! You're putting that on me?
No, it's on him, but you could
have been a little fucking kinder.
I did not do that to him!
I'm gonna head downstairs.
Thank you for dinner.
I am so sorry this did not
go the way that you hoped.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Steve.
- I am not responsible for Brent.
- I know you're not.
What he did, he did to himself.
I I am not responsible.
I know, I know.
You said to meet you in the gift
shop, and I met you in the gift shop.
You left me for 72 minutes.
Well, I didn't realize it was that long.
It was.
You know, I'm the whole
reason you even met her.
I figured it out. I tracked her down.
I forced you to come to
the city to begin with.
But then the second you
see her, you're all like,
"Hey, hi, Mahira. Hey, hi."
She knew my brother.
She's the only other person in the
world that actually knew my brother.
She's the most important person
in the world to me right now.
I'm I'm sorry, but she is.
Shay, Shay you're
you're important too.
- Shay.
- I'm tired.
Good night, stupid.
Hey.
Ooh. You okay?
- Tough night?
- I'm fine.
Have I gotten any mail?
Mail?
Yeah. Yeah, a friend said
they sent me a letter.
Oh, um
Not that I can think of,
but I'll ask your uncle.
Oh.
Oh, maybe that's Shay.
Oh, my God, hi.
Hi.
Sorry, um, I'm I know your aunt.
I know Linda Uh, no,
I'm Linda. I know Lacey.
Um, I know your aunt from Grief Group.
My boyfriend was on the plane.
Aunt Lacey?
- Hmm?
- Somebody's here.
Nice. Just freaked out the miracle boy.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Come on in.
- I think I really just freaked him out.
Oh. Well, he's he's okay.
Let's go.
Okay.
This. Ooh.
Check this out.
- It's like a transf Yes.
- Oh, my God. It's like a transformer.
It's perfect for a walk-up apartment.
- Oh, my God.
- I know. Boom.
It's it's You really have, like,
a department store up there.
This is great
Everything's like brand new.
Well, it's brand new because
I never had a chance to use it.
I tried to have a
baby a few times but
Oh, my God.
And in group, I talked about how
I got pregnant without even trying.
I'm really sorry. That was really
insensitive of me to say that.
- No, it's not. No, it's just
- I'm sorry.
It's, um old wounds.
It's okay.
Are you still trying?
Not now. No. I have Edward.
I can't I don't think I
I can't take all of this stuff.
I-I really I think
you should keep it.
And and I think you
should hold on to it
for when you're ready to use it.
Let me make you a deal.
Take it.
Take all of it, get some baby on it
and check in with me when you're done.
Maybe I'll Maybe I'll
be ready for it then. Okay?
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.
This stuff has been sitting
here for way too long.
Thank you.
It's the kindest thing
anyone's ever done for me.
Ms. Washington.
Okay, everybody. Okay, great.
Oh, my goodness. Look at that ring.
- Darnell.
- Hi, lovely to meet you.
I'm Adriana Washington.
So, don't count me out. June 27th.
Look for my name, Adriana Washington.
- Can I count on your vote?
- Yes.
- Are you registered?
- Yes.
All this was in the campaign
Okay. Yeah, that's
that's really funny.
That's how you get the votes.
I have to go, but,
um, lovely meeting you.
You know, the liquor at
these functions is a trap.
They only serve it to see who they
can catch saying the wrong thing.
Club soda for you.
Thank you.
I can handle myself.
I know.
It's crazy, isn't it?
Being here right now.
Life is crazy.
I thought I'd be in
grad school right now.
You saved yourself
the time and the debt.
- Mm-hmm.
- And now look at you.
Did you come here alone?
A few of us are here
with Young Professionals.
No date, though.
You? Is your roommate here?
- Don't start.
- Just asking.
He really likes you, Dri.
I really see it for you.
- See what?
- All of it.
Everything you're trying to do
politically and just in life.
I saw when we were back at Penn
and you were holding rallies
for the custodial workers
in your beat-up Chucks
- and Student Government t-shirt
- Don't bring my Chucks into this. No.
And I see it now.
At this fancy-ass fundraiser.
This is in your blood.
You've always had my back.
Even when we weren't
fucking with each other.
Yeah.
I told Mama Rose that
I'd be there for you.
And I want to keep being here,
sharing these moments with you.
You proposing?
No.
But who knows where
our lives go from here?
- Break a leg, Becks.
- Thanks.
Hey, do not break your leg.
Where's Adriana?
I'm not sure she's here, Niece.
But you look great, though.
This Jack fellow better
watch his back. Very scary.
You know,
sometimes people
aren't always able to do
the things that they say they will do.
Adriana is very busy right now.
And if she doesn't show up, it's
- I'm not going on without her here.
- You can't stop the entire show.
It's only four stupid lines.
Then what did you work
so hard for then? Hmm?
We don't run away from responsibilities
just because people don't show
up to watch us carry them out.
No, we do it anyway.
Your mother left the only home
she ever knew to be an actress.
And I know that courage
that she possessed
is the same courage inside of you.
We love you, Adriana!
I knew you were gonna show up.
I told you I would.
I hope I'm not too late.
You are right on time.
Excuse me. Uh, I don't
want to interrupt, uh
Would it be possible
to get a quick selfie
with the future congresswoman?
Well, of course. Come here.
- Love you.
- Perfect.
Loved your grandmother.
I I predict you're
going places, girl.
Oh. Thank you.
Can I get your autograph?
Um, yes absolutely. Okay.
Can I help you?
Sam. Uh, we met at the, uh
I know who you are. How'd you find me?
There's, like like, a thousand
photos of you at work online.
Oh, okay. So, you're Insta-stalking?
No, I, um
Uh, technically, yes.
But, uh, I-I I came here
because I really need to close down
that storage unit by
the end of the month.
So I-I just figured I'd let you
know, you know, just on the timing.
Uh-huh. Been here before?
- This place?
- Mm-hmm.
N Uh, this is not,
um, not my type of place.
Give it some time. These
places tend to grow on you.
- Have a seat.
- I can't stay.
So how well did you know Ben?
Not well.
He was a friend of a friend.
But Ben had a certain way about him.
Even when you didn't know him too well,
he made you feel like you were special.
What about you? Y-You two keep
in touch after high school?
No, um, we we lost touch.
But then I-I saw him three
days before the crash, so
You got to see him before he
died. That's truly a blessing.
Yeah.
- Well I I didn't order
- On the house.
Glass vases and old electronics,
like, washing machines and stuff.
And, um, there was a car.
- No!
- Yeah.
A car.
- Just random stuff.
- Expensive.
Expensive.
- Do you have a hammer or something?
- Yeah, what do you hit it
Yeah, they had hammers.
They had, um, crowbars.
- But I I prefer the baseball bat.
- Yes. Baseball bat.
- Hi.
- Oh, welcome back.
John, this is Linda.
- Linda.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Get you something to eat. Have a seat.
You're probably like, "What's
this rando doing in my house?"
Oh, of course not.
I'm from the Grief Group.
- Oh.
- The pregnant one.
- Well, welcome.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- What's up, dude? You get the pictures?
Yeah, I did. Thanks.
Um, were you on a
on a trip or something?
Uh, yeah. I went to Colorado.
- Oh.
- Near Pagosa Springs.
- I was actually visiting the crash site.
- Anyway
That must That must've been intense.
Yeah, it kind of was. I thought
I don't know. I thought
maybe it was gonna be,
like, a field or something.
But, um, I got there and I
could feel, um, all of this,
uh, energy.
Um, and look, I'm not
that guy. I'm not
I'm not the guy who feels the energy.
You know, I'm sort of the
opposite of that guy, uh, really.
But then, um, I was there,
and I felt them, like, all of them.
And then I was praying for them
and for us, you know, for all of us.
And I think maybe that, that was the
first time since all this happened
that I haven't felt
completely powerless.
I-I've felt powerless.
- Anyway
- Why did you go? Why were you there?
Oh, I was
Um I just thought that, um
It's for my nightmares. I was
having nightmares of the crash site.
So he went to take pictures of it
to show it wasn't still on fire.
Wow, that's It's really
amazing that you did that.
Anyway
Yeah. Sorry. I didn't mean to,
uh, monopolize the conversation.
It's just that Linda was
telling us about her trip to LA.
Yeah, sorry.
No, I was just I was
just getting to the part
where Gary's parents basically tried
to kidnap me and the baby.
It's not entirely true. I'm exaggerating
a little bit, but not by much.
I had gone to see them
and let them know
Oh, shoot. I'm sorry. I'm
so sorry. I gotta get this.
That's okay.
Um, I was saying earlier I had
gone to the house to meet them.
They had a ch a chef
prepare this whole meal.
- Sam?
- Uh, hi, Lacey.
Um
I hope I hope I'm not interrupting.
Uh, you said I could I could
call if I ever needed, um
Of course. What's going on?
Uh, I'm I'm at a bar,
uh, talking to this guy.
I-I think I think
he's flirting with me.
Oh. And?
And, um, ye I-I
might be a little tipsy,
and I'm terrified that
I'm gonna blow up my life.
You won't blow up your life
unless you want to blow up your life.
My friend from high school,
Ben, the one who died
he was more than just a friend.
Oh.
We never actually, um We
never really did that much.
It was mostly to just the
way we felt about each other.
You know, every-every little
look or touch was like
fire. Um, and then
And then?
I had a lot of voices to contend with.
And my my dad was not and is not
the most enlightened
gentleman in the world.
Neither were most of my extended
family. And And then
Right.
I-I met Sienna
and-and she loved me
and I loved her and
you know it-it just
It just It made it all, um
Simpler.
Yeah.
Just
try not to hurt anybody, okay?
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Steve.
Uh, I, uh I got
your jacket dry-cleaned.
- Sorry about yesterday. I was
- Oh, you don't have to be sorry.
You do look a million
times better though.
Thanks. I really don't get like that.
I-It's been a rough week.
We've all been there. Don't
worry. I won't tell anybody.
Thank you.
You got somebody out
there or you wanna
I abandoned Brent.
Sorry?
I, uh
I abandoned my brother.
- Uh
- He He was an addict and
when he came to me to
heal shit I rejected him.
Families are complicated.
And I had sex with Amanda.
Oh.
Uh
Why did I mean, I
get she's gorgeous but
Dead brother's fiancée.
I'm fucking fucked up.
Do you like crepes?
I'm gonna make you a
crepe. Come in. Come in.
You have some place.
Oh, thanks. The bank's about to take it.
Sweet or savory?
Um
Savory, please.
Edward asked me about the letters.
How did he know about them?
I guess some friend said he'd sent
him a letter and he never got it.
Well, I told you we should've
been straight with him.
Thanks, John. Like I don't
feel bad enough about it.
Hey, how long is the
pregnant girl staying here?
Her name is Linda,
and I don't know how long
she's staying. A while.
Well, thanks for the consultation.
Well, maybe if you were here.
Colorado was, um, like, a really
profound experience for me.
I know. You made that
very clear at dinner.
Sorry. I won't talk about it.
- That's not what I'm saying.
- So what are you saying?
What do you want me
What do you want me to say?
Your idea of helping Edward
was flying off to Colorado
and sending back pictures?
- Yes, that was my idea to help him
- You went to Colorado
and you sent back pictures.
And then I was the one who
was with him when he got them.
I saw how they impacted him.
He's 12, John.
He is 12.
He lost his mother, he lost
his father and his brother.
Yeah, and I lost Jane
and Bruce and Jordan too.
And I loved them, and
I'm grieving too here.
- I know you are.
- You do, really?
- Of course I do. Of course I do.
- 'Cause I just Sh
What?
There's no space for me here.
I just There's
no There's no space.
What are you talking about?
There's no space for you where?
A-Anywhere. Here.
John, that is not true.
I know. Yeah, I know.
I'm gonna Um, I don't
know. I'm gonna just
I'm gonna go check on things at work.
Please don't walk out. Oh, my God.
Please don't walk out right now. John!
She's sleeping.
Good night.
Kojo?
Can we talk about this?
I know you're protective of Becks,
and you're a good uncle.
But I showed up today, didn't I?
I want to be there for her
too, while you're still here.
Your friend, Eric,
got this for us a lot
quicker than I expected.
He must really want
us out of the country.
When are you leaving?
Soon.
Do you have to?
Yes.
- My family needs me.
- Yeah.
My business needs me and Becks needs
to know where her home would be.
Okay, okay.
I'm very grateful for you.
You've shown us kindness that
I never imagined possible
in a place like this.
We will miss you, Adriana.
I'll miss you too.
Both of you.
Hi.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to startle you.
It's fine.
I couldn't sleep.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm just just getting water.
I know this is really pathetic
but did you notice him?
Did you see him?
Why does everyone keep asking about it?
Because you're the last
person in the entire world
who might have seen him alive.
Any little detail, any tiny,
little thing that you can remember,
the smallest thing whatsoever.
It would mean so much.
I know it's not even
fair for me to ask you,
but you're the miracle
boy. You survived.
Sorry. Sorry.
I'm sorry. That's not fair.
I remember seeing him
in the back of the plane.
We were both just stretching our legs.
We didn't say anything. He just
looked at me and smiled and nodded.
I thought he seemed like
a like a pretty nice guy.
Jordan was wearing his Adidases,
a yellow t-shirt and
his corduroy jacket.
The cab ride took about 40 minutes.
We were late leaving because
he went up to the store.
Maybe he was with you?
Yeah, he was with me.
I flew in the back of the
plane with Jordan and my dad.
And Mom flew in first class.
She brought us the
dessert they gave her.
At first, there was just
a big thump
we all felt on the
left side of the plane.
Like a big smack in the face.
Then it went away for a while.
Then we thought we
were going to be okay,
then it came back worse than before.
And then we all
We all knew.
We just
We just knew.
I couldn't get to my mom.
No one else was any comfort to me.
Just Jordan.
He told me we'd go
to the ocean together.
We'd swim in the Pacific.
And that made me feel okay.
Because I knew no matter what
he would always be my brother.
And he took care of me.
He was my hero.
Thank you, Eddie. Thank you.
