Captain Alan Thorndyke, England, now.
-E-N.
You must be Ken.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, Joe.
Oh, Jesus.
Who the fuck are you?
Joe, a friend of your father's.
How did you get in here?
Your dad gave me a key years ago.
When he started going to AA.
I'm his sponsor.
Not that I needed it.
He left the door wide open.
AA, huh?
He must keep you pretty busy.
Actually, he hasn't had a drink in years.
But it looks like it hasn't been that long for you.
I call bullshit.
Your father's been sober for quite a while.
Right.
Okay, so, uh, what can I do for you, Joe?
Nothing.
I just stopped by to check on the house
and grab your father's mail.
He hadn't told me you stopped by the hospital.
Yeah, well, he wouldn't.
Then I haven't.
I see.
Will you be?
It's nice meeting you, Joe.
Thanks for dropping by.
I met your dad about a year after you left.
He stopped by one of our meetings one night.
He sat in the back.
He didn't introduce himself or participate.
Just sat quietly listening.
When the meeting ended, I turned around to greet him.
He's already gone.
I just figured he lost interest.
Ditched.
May I?
Sure.
He did that for a while, until one night
I stopped noticing he was there.
Then he sat right next to me, and he said,
my name's Mike, and I'm an alcoholic, can you help me?
Wow, that's fucking great.
So what am I supposed to do?
-I don't know. -I don't know.
I believe he turned a new leaf, became a better man.
Yes he did.
Sure.
Sure he did.
Sorry you feel that way.
Did he tell you he used to beat me?
Yes.
For 500 yards, not a tree, not a shrub,
a man running towards this house will be cut down...
So what's the point of all this?
The point is, I know that man better than anyone else.
I was there when he faced his demons.
And believe me, he had many.
It's hard for a man to take responsibility
for those types of things.
I should be.
His guilt is well-deserved.
Every man deserves a second chance.
Every man.
That was the excitement of it, the danger, the fun.
But that fellow jumped me the second time.
Can I ask you for a favor?
Yeah, what's up?
I'd cable into the 30 bucks, just until I get
some cash from the house.
I wouldn't ask, but I could put some food in the fridge.
All right, all right.
Tell you what.
I got a doctor's appointment tomorrow and a bunch
of errands to run, and it would really be
a big help if I had somebody to look after Maddie.
Just a couple hours.
Job pays 30 bucks, oddly enough.
Uh, tomorrow?
-I don't know. -The agent's got
some potential buyers coming by the house, and I...
I'm just gonna stay out of your way.
Promise.
Okay.
Okay, I'll keep an eye on him.
Can you, like, feed him before you bring him over?
He's a kid, Top.
Not a puppy.
Can I get an advance?
Don't spend it all in one place.
