1
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:35,911
How many times?
Get your nose out of the dirt.
2
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:37,496
I'm sorry, Sister.
3
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:45,963
One day your curiosity will lead you
down a path you can't come back from.
4
00:00:55,639 --> 00:00:58,642
"And die in an instant,
in the middle of the night.
5
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:05,399
His eyes are on the ways of mortals.
He sees their every step."
6
00:01:07,442 --> 00:01:11,572
That will be a demerit for tardiness,
Calvin Evans.
7
00:01:13,866 --> 00:01:16,201
Now, where did we leave off?
8
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:17,744
"There is no deep shadow,
9
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:20,831
no utter darkness
where evildoers can hide.
10
00:01:20,831 --> 00:01:24,293
God has no need to examine people further
11
00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:26,753
that they should come before him
for judgment."
12
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:29,423
Eyes on the board, please.
13
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:33,969
The verse reads,
"The Lord is the maker of them all."
14
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:36,263
Sorry to interrupt, Sister Beth Ann.
15
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:38,098
Children.
16
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:40,601
Now, we just finished the meeting
with the bishop.
17
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:42,978
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
are ready to take him home.
18
00:01:42,978 --> 00:01:43,937
Jeremiah,
19
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:47,816
there are some very special people
who have come back to see you.
20
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:53,530
Say hi.
21
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:56,491
Jeremiah. Hi. Let's walk outside.
22
00:01:56,491 --> 00:01:57,576
- Thank you.
- God bless.
23
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:01,830
Back to your compositions.
24
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:11,840
"The Lord is the maker of them all."
25
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:30,043
All right, boys. Load her up.
26
00:03:34,965 --> 00:03:36,383
Same order for next week?
27
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:38,886
If you can double the output,
I'll make it worth your while.
28
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:39,928
Thank you.
29
00:03:40,846 --> 00:03:43,724
Careful. Don't spill any hooch.
The bishop will kill us.
30
00:03:45,517 --> 00:03:47,477
- Hey, bring me another empty one.
- Yeah.
31
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:49,396
Use this as a strainer.
32
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:51,732
Bottles go over there when they're filled.
33
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:57,196
Oh, Calvin. There you are.
34
00:03:57,696 --> 00:04:00,532
Everyone is really impressed
with the work you're doing down here.
35
00:04:01,283 --> 00:04:03,327
I think it's time to increase production.
36
00:04:03,327 --> 00:04:04,494
Is that the temperature gauge?
37
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:05,829
Yes, the one you mentioned.
38
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:07,497
That's great.
39
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:10,125
Now, what else do you need?
40
00:04:13,545 --> 00:04:15,255
Put that over here. And careful.
41
00:04:17,089 --> 00:04:18,634
Take it off your arm.
42
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:46,578
Put that on that second stove.
43
00:04:53,836 --> 00:04:56,463
- We're running out of room.
- Yeah, we need more crates.
44
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:04,930
- Holy shit, it's a limo!
- Language.
45
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:09,476
It's a Cadillac!
46
00:05:10,269 --> 00:05:13,605
I bet he's a professional baseball player
or a movie star.
47
00:05:30,706 --> 00:05:31,999
What do you think he's here for?
48
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:35,127
Don't kid yourself.
I bet he's here for me.
49
00:05:35,127 --> 00:05:36,461
In your dreams.
50
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:17,085
Calvin.
51
00:06:21,507 --> 00:06:25,594
Calvin, I wanted to take a moment
to discuss your future.
52
00:06:25,594 --> 00:06:28,847
You've become indispensable to me,
and that should be rewarded.
53
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:32,851
Which is why I'm excusing you
from your daily chores.
54
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:36,897
Is something the matter?
55
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:41,777
Who was that man who came today?
56
00:06:42,861 --> 00:06:47,115
I had a feeling he was here for me.
57
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:51,745
He was here because of you.
58
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:55,374
I knew it. He's my father, isn't he?
59
00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:56,458
Calvin, I'm sorry.
60
00:06:58,168 --> 00:07:01,129
I told him everything about you,
and he saw you.
61
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:04,466
But he doesn't want you.
62
00:07:06,844 --> 00:07:08,011
I'm sorry, Calvin.
63
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:12,558
But what if I could just talk to him.
64
00:07:12,558 --> 00:07:13,725
- He'd see I'd be--
- No.
65
00:07:14,643 --> 00:07:17,354
Look, I care about you too much
66
00:07:18,021 --> 00:07:23,110
to subject you to those hateful,
selfish people.
67
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:28,740
It's bad enough that you have
to carry their brokenness in you.
68
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:30,826
That you will be burdened with it,
69
00:07:30,826 --> 00:07:33,912
no matter how good you are,
no matter how hard you try.
70
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:49,845
{\an8}Try and act natural but distinguished.
71
00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:51,597
How much longer is this going to take?
72
00:07:51,597 --> 00:07:53,140
Would it be good to do one
with the whole lab?
73
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:55,767
You worry about delivering us
another tennis trophy
74
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:58,312
against those sons of bitches from JPL.
75
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:01,190
- Let Dr. Evans have his moment.
- Of course, sir.
76
00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:03,942
Those cables
on the electrophoresis are inverted.
77
00:08:03,942 --> 00:08:05,360
No. I don't think they--
78
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,821
Dr. Evans, lean a little to your left.
I'm catching a shadow.
79
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:09,198
I'm certain that I checked.
80
00:08:09,198 --> 00:08:10,282
Goddamn it!
81
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:16,121
These samples are useless.
This is no way to work.
82
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:19,833
There's too many people, too much noise,
too many unnecessary distractions.
83
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:22,044
- Dr. Evans, I can assure you--
- You are completely right.
84
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:23,879
Tell me what you need.
85
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,256
I need my own space.
No chemists, no lab techs.
86
00:08:26,256 --> 00:08:30,010
None of this attention. I just need quiet.
87
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:32,763
By the time you get back from Boston,
you'll be all sorted.
88
00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:34,640
Robert, you'll see to it.
89
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,682
Yes, sir.
90
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:39,269
Make Hastings proud. And then hurry back.
91
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:42,438
Fame only lasts as long
as you give them something to write about.
92
00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:49,863
So you can see now that every living thing
on our planet,
93
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:54,451
from lichen to mice to Harvard students,
94
00:08:54,952 --> 00:08:59,331
forms its proteins
from the same set of 20 amino acids.
95
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:04,294
{\an8}RNA and DNA may be comprised
of only four nucleotides,
96
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:11,218
but their chaotic processes indicate
that life is born of random,
97
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:16,348
infinite permutation,
not stable and efficient amino selection.
98
00:09:21,436 --> 00:09:22,437
Thank you.
99
00:09:28,861 --> 00:09:29,862
Thank you.
100
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:31,446
Thanks.
101
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:57,097
Dear Dr. Evans,
I have no background in chemistry.
102
00:09:57,097 --> 00:10:00,726
{\an8}And yet, after listening to your lecture,
I felt compelled to write.
103
00:10:01,226 --> 00:10:05,272
{\an8}I find your work fascinating.
Downright exhilarating, in fact.
104
00:10:06,023 --> 00:10:08,942
But I think your research
may be overlooking the mysteries
105
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:10,027
of the divine.
106
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:16,533
What if God
is a spontaneous generation?
107
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:20,412
What if the missing link
between nucleotides and early life-forms
108
00:10:20,412 --> 00:10:24,625
is in fact a force
that science alone cannot explain?
109
00:10:25,209 --> 00:10:28,545
I simply share your affinity
for questioning commonly held beliefs.
110
00:10:28,545 --> 00:10:30,547
Respectfully, Curtis Wakely.
111
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:32,925
That can go at the end table there.
Thank you.
112
00:10:42,601 --> 00:10:45,229
Dear Mr. Wakely, Reverend Wakely?
113
00:10:45,229 --> 00:10:48,273
I'm unclear
when you are bestowed the title.
114
00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:51,318
As if it bears stating,
I am a staunch atheist.
115
00:10:52,027 --> 00:10:56,156
But regardless of one's views,
only an intellectually dishonest person
116
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:59,868
could watch a chromosome
undergo the metaphase of cell division
117
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:02,496
and still believe
that an all-powerful bearded man
118
00:11:02,496 --> 00:11:04,373
in the sky designed it that way.
119
00:11:05,958 --> 00:11:08,085
But please, convince me otherwise.
120
00:11:08,085 --> 00:11:10,420
I've never been one to shy away
from a good debate.
121
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,548
Yours, Calvin Evans.
122
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:18,679
Dear Dr. Evans,
Thank you for your response.
123
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:22,015
I have never had the pleasure
of watching a chromosome in metaphase,
124
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:24,059
so I will admit to my bias.
125
00:11:26,812 --> 00:11:28,730
But I believe that the mystical
126
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:31,775
and the natural
are not fundamentally opposed.
127
00:11:32,651 --> 00:11:38,407
The way I see it, science is the how
and religion is the why.
128
00:11:47,332 --> 00:11:48,959
Rather than argue this with you,
129
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,670
I thought I would leave it
to Charles Darwin,
130
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:55,841
who proved that science
is the how and the why.
131
00:11:59,887 --> 00:12:02,306
Do you hear that?
Is that Charlie Parker playing?
132
00:12:02,306 --> 00:12:06,393
Ah, yes. My archnemesis.
The other Charlie in your life.
133
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:08,812
Oh, my love. It's no contest.
134
00:12:10,856 --> 00:12:12,357
These people got taste.
135
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:19,114
Probably can't hear over the music.
136
00:12:27,873 --> 00:12:29,791
Harr, we should go back.
137
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:30,876
Nonsense.
138
00:12:30,876 --> 00:12:32,336
No, he's a white fella.
139
00:12:33,378 --> 00:12:35,631
I am. How can I help you?
140
00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:38,425
Welcome to Sugar Hill, neighbor.
141
00:12:41,053 --> 00:12:42,054
Thank you.
142
00:12:44,306 --> 00:12:45,307
Come inside.
143
00:12:53,774 --> 00:12:55,817
- There you go.
- Thank you.
144
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,112
So...
145
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,617
Was that Parker I heard you playing?
146
00:13:04,201 --> 00:13:07,329
Oh, yeah, good ear.
It's the B side actually.
147
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,459
Don Byas's single. Here.
Take it. Give it a listen.
148
00:13:13,544 --> 00:13:14,753
I couldn't.
149
00:13:14,753 --> 00:13:16,880
She only says that
when she's definitely gonna do something.
150
00:13:18,924 --> 00:13:23,887
I don't mean to pry,
but how did you end up in this area?
151
00:13:24,638 --> 00:13:27,933
I found this place
on one of my runs actually.
152
00:13:28,851 --> 00:13:29,935
What kind of run?
153
00:13:31,478 --> 00:13:36,024
Just jogging. You know, exercise.
154
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,778
Must be a white-people thing.
155
00:13:41,405 --> 00:13:44,867
We're only 5.2 miles
from where I work, so...
156
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:48,704
Is the work that's 5.2 miles
away the Hastings Laboratory?
157
00:13:48,704 --> 00:13:50,414
Yeah. I'm a chemist there.
158
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:53,792
And what do you do?
159
00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:55,752
I'm a resident intern at Kaiser Hospital.
160
00:13:56,837 --> 00:13:57,838
Yeah.
161
00:14:00,007 --> 00:14:03,594
And I'm a legal aid in the offices
of Hollis, Morrison and Douglas.
162
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,264
This is great.
163
00:14:07,264 --> 00:14:11,143
That's great. I-- Yeah. You know, I--
164
00:14:11,727 --> 00:14:15,230
They did some press on me,
and ever since then,
165
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:17,065
I've been getting all sorts
of correspondence.
166
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:20,944
You know, religious threats,
proffers of marriage.
167
00:14:20,944 --> 00:14:25,032
Even though my parents are dead,
people pretending to be my family.
168
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:30,454
They seem to have confused being a chemist
with being a Rockefeller.
169
00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:34,583
What-- Can you-- I don't know.
Can you help me with this?
170
00:14:34,583 --> 00:14:37,169
Well, firstly, I'm a legal aid
and not an attorney.
171
00:14:37,169 --> 00:14:39,171
Smartest attorney you'll ever meet.
172
00:14:40,088 --> 00:14:42,799
But in my non-legally-binding opinion,
173
00:14:44,051 --> 00:14:47,304
well, we could issue individual cease
and desist letters.
174
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:49,097
Yes!
175
00:14:49,598 --> 00:14:53,810
I would love for them to cease
and then for them to desist.
176
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:56,396
Okay.
177
00:14:57,648 --> 00:14:59,608
I'd like you to meet my new secretary...
178
00:14:59,608 --> 00:15:01,693
- Well, hello, everybody.
- Hi, Gracie.
179
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:06,657
So you're the girl
Harry Morton's chasing after.
180
00:15:07,658 --> 00:15:09,243
Gracie, this is Harry's secretary.
181
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:12,204
Really?
Well, you're silly to chase after him.
182
00:15:12,204 --> 00:15:13,288
She's much prettier.
183
00:15:25,175 --> 00:15:26,969
- Really now?
- She hasn't talked to you
184
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:27,886
in over a week,
185
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:29,638
she assumed you must have died.
186
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:32,140
That's all with that woman.
187
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:35,477
I will call her
when I am good and ready. Excuse me.
188
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:36,520
I have the answer.
189
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,564
- I have the answer.
- Me too.
190
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:42,150
I got the answer.
191
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:44,236
Just call on the doctor.
192
00:15:44,736 --> 00:15:47,239
See. No!
193
00:15:54,705 --> 00:15:57,457
Dear Dr. Evans,
Thank you so much for the gift.
194
00:15:58,166 --> 00:15:59,293
I've been enjoying the read,
195
00:15:59,293 --> 00:16:02,754
and my daughter keeps stealing it from me
to color in the pictures of the birds.
196
00:16:04,047 --> 00:16:07,092
While I don't think
Darwin intended for his greatest work
197
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:09,428
to be used as a coloring book,
198
00:16:09,428 --> 00:16:11,597
I'm glad it's getting use
from the whole family.
199
00:16:12,931 --> 00:16:14,850
Do you have children of your own?
200
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:18,187
Aside from the occasional tantrum
and damage to personal property,
201
00:16:18,187 --> 00:16:19,104
I'm a big advocate.
202
00:16:20,022 --> 00:16:21,315
To answer your question,
203
00:16:21,315 --> 00:16:25,235
I have no wife, no children,
no obligations.
204
00:16:25,235 --> 00:16:27,863
I'm married to my work,
and that's the way I prefer it.
205
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:32,367
If there's one thing
that Darwin and I agree on,
206
00:16:32,367 --> 00:16:34,703
it's that man is not meant to be alone.
207
00:16:35,204 --> 00:16:37,623
Are you aware
that in The Descent of Man
208
00:16:37,623 --> 00:16:39,666
he mentions love 95 times?
209
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:40,667
Uh-oh.
210
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:43,629
Exposing the experiment
of your life to outside variables
211
00:16:43,629 --> 00:16:47,257
might just yield a result that surprises
and delights.
212
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:54,181
So, I implore you, do not rule anything
or anyone out just yet.
213
00:16:55,224 --> 00:16:56,225
Food for thought, my friend.
214
00:16:57,935 --> 00:16:59,394
Sorry that took a second.
215
00:16:59,895 --> 00:17:04,358
I bumped into a coworker in the bathroom.
What a funny coincidence.
216
00:17:04,358 --> 00:17:05,817
What coincidence?
217
00:17:06,652 --> 00:17:09,238
I just mean it's a small world sometimes.
218
00:17:09,905 --> 00:17:13,450
Me seeing her, you and I here tonight.
219
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:17,496
It's more of an unremarkable
statistical likelihood, right?
220
00:17:17,496 --> 00:17:19,330
I mean, most people eat dinner
221
00:17:19,330 --> 00:17:21,250
between the hours of six
and eight o'clock,
222
00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:23,669
and there's only four restaurants
in the area.
223
00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:26,003
If you and your friend live nearby, then
224
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:29,383
there's a pretty high probability
of you bumping into each other.
225
00:17:29,383 --> 00:17:32,636
You seeing her tonight is not
because the world is small,
226
00:17:32,636 --> 00:17:33,971
but predictable.
227
00:17:34,972 --> 00:17:35,973
Right.
228
00:17:36,682 --> 00:17:38,433
Sorry. I think I'm being rude.
229
00:17:38,433 --> 00:17:40,727
No, not at all.
230
00:17:44,565 --> 00:17:47,234
I was so excited when you finally called.
231
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:50,153
I had the perfect dress picked out,
232
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:52,698
but of course,
I spilled nail polish all over it.
233
00:17:53,657 --> 00:17:55,909
So I put on this old thing.
234
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:58,704
Did the fabric have acetate in it?
235
00:18:00,581 --> 00:18:01,540
I'm not sure.
236
00:18:01,540 --> 00:18:03,834
Because if it did,
you should not use acetone and water.
237
00:18:03,834 --> 00:18:06,336
It'll ruin the fabric.
Always use one part coconut oil
238
00:18:06,336 --> 00:18:08,005
to one part solvent.
239
00:18:10,215 --> 00:18:11,425
That's resourceful.
240
00:18:12,676 --> 00:18:14,595
Might be five restaurants in the area.
241
00:18:17,514 --> 00:18:20,684
Personal history
has proven the experiment of my life
242
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:23,353
does not mix well with outside variables,
243
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:27,524
and the results are reliably futile.
244
00:18:29,276 --> 00:18:31,403
Someone once told me I was broken.
245
00:18:31,987 --> 00:18:34,823
Maybe they were right. I'm best alone.
246
00:18:38,202 --> 00:18:39,953
I hear the hurt in your voice,
247
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:41,121
even on paper.
248
00:18:41,121 --> 00:18:43,373
I'm so sorry
that someone said that to you.
249
00:18:43,373 --> 00:18:44,374
I disagree.
250
00:18:45,042 --> 00:18:48,253
But there is no denying that love--
opening ourselves to it,
251
00:18:48,253 --> 00:18:52,049
losing it, falling short of it--
makes us vulnerable to hurt.
252
00:18:52,049 --> 00:18:52,966
Dad.
253
00:18:52,966 --> 00:18:54,843
Normally,
I would argue that it's all worth it.
254
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:58,305
But I'm afraid I'm in no position
to lecture anyone on faith in this moment.
255
00:18:58,305 --> 00:19:00,891
The doctor said put your jacket on.
256
00:19:00,891 --> 00:19:02,226
Yeah.
257
00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:04,102
My father has cancer
of the gallbladder
258
00:19:04,102 --> 00:19:05,145
and is refusing treatment,
259
00:19:05,771 --> 00:19:08,941
choosing prayer to take away his illness
from his body.
260
00:19:09,608 --> 00:19:12,861
I hate to admit this,
but I'm angry at God.
261
00:19:13,529 --> 00:19:17,282
How can he leave the most pious among us
gasping for breath?
262
00:19:17,282 --> 00:19:19,618
...in his innocence, and questions why God--
263
00:19:25,624 --> 00:19:28,752
I'm truly so sorry
to hear about your father.
264
00:19:29,795 --> 00:19:31,964
I have enclosed a paper
from Yale School of Medicine
265
00:19:31,964 --> 00:19:35,175
that's found a chemical agent
producing temporary remissions
266
00:19:35,175 --> 00:19:37,302
in some patients with Hodgkin's disease.
267
00:19:40,931 --> 00:19:42,599
Apologies if overstepping.
268
00:19:46,103 --> 00:19:47,771
Thank you for your kindness.
269
00:19:48,522 --> 00:19:53,861
I must say, whatever my doubts
and whatever your resistance to faith,
270
00:19:54,945 --> 00:19:57,948
I can't help but see the proof
of the divine in our friendship.
271
00:19:59,575 --> 00:20:05,497
This sort of unexpected connection?
That's God.
272
00:20:07,541 --> 00:20:10,961
I hope you'll continue to stay open
to unknown variables,
273
00:20:11,879 --> 00:20:13,130
because, Calvin,
274
00:20:13,130 --> 00:20:14,923
no one is best alone.
275
00:20:32,608 --> 00:20:35,068
Curtis, truthfully,
276
00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:37,487
I didn't take your words to heart
until now.
277
00:20:39,573 --> 00:20:40,908
May I join you?
278
00:20:42,159 --> 00:20:43,243
You may.
279
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:46,121
I have met someone.
280
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:50,250
Someone so unexpected
281
00:20:53,462 --> 00:20:57,216
that her happiness
supersedes my former life's pursuits.
282
00:21:05,349 --> 00:21:07,726
I want to give her everything.
283
00:21:07,726 --> 00:21:09,770
Be everything for her.
284
00:21:13,941 --> 00:21:17,402
She is my how, and she is my why.
285
00:21:23,158 --> 00:21:25,869
Calvin, I am overjoyed to hear this
286
00:21:26,537 --> 00:21:29,081
and not too humble
to take just a little bit of credit.
287
00:21:29,873 --> 00:21:32,584
By the way,
I have some good news of my own to share.
288
00:21:33,210 --> 00:21:35,462
My father has agreed to treatment.
289
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:43,762
Happy holidays to you and your someone.
290
00:21:53,438 --> 00:21:54,898
Can I help you find something today, sir?
291
00:21:55,899 --> 00:21:58,610
I'm not sure. I was just walking by.
292
00:22:00,404 --> 00:22:02,614
Yeah, I wouldn't know
where to start, really.
293
00:22:02,614 --> 00:22:04,074
Well, what's your girlfriend like?
294
00:22:04,658 --> 00:22:09,621
She's not my girlfriend. She is
something else entirely.
295
00:22:10,747 --> 00:22:13,125
Okay. Take a look at this one.
296
00:22:19,381 --> 00:22:22,259
Now, this is what all the ladies want
right now. Trust me.
297
00:22:26,263 --> 00:22:29,016
No, Elizabeth doesn't want
what all the ladies want.
298
00:22:29,016 --> 00:22:33,145
She doesn't even believe in marriage,
really. Or she didn't.
299
00:22:33,145 --> 00:22:34,229
But that was before.
300
00:22:34,229 --> 00:22:36,565
You know, things are different now.
301
00:22:36,565 --> 00:22:38,483
Everything's different since we met.
302
00:22:42,863 --> 00:22:45,407
Sorry. I shouldn't be saying all this
to a stranger.
303
00:22:45,407 --> 00:22:47,159
No, that's more than okay.
304
00:22:47,784 --> 00:22:51,205
Most men who come in just want to know
what's the cheapest or the most expensive.
305
00:22:51,205 --> 00:22:53,207
I have a feeling that's not the case here.
306
00:22:56,293 --> 00:22:57,669
She's simple.
307
00:22:59,004 --> 00:23:00,923
No, what am I saying? She's not simple.
308
00:23:00,923 --> 00:23:05,844
She appreciates simplicity. Practicality.
309
00:23:07,221 --> 00:23:09,348
She doesn't wear jewelry normally.
310
00:23:09,348 --> 00:23:14,394
But if she did,
it would be complex but clear.
311
00:23:24,696 --> 00:23:26,114
It's not a big stone,
312
00:23:26,114 --> 00:23:29,284
but it is the clearest diamond
in the shop right now.
313
00:23:29,284 --> 00:23:30,702
The most facets too.
314
00:23:31,203 --> 00:23:33,956
Tilt it around
and see how it catches the light.
315
00:23:36,208 --> 00:23:37,209
Yeah.
316
00:23:40,671 --> 00:23:41,755
Yeah, it's her.
317
00:23:50,639 --> 00:23:52,558
Got the red nose on already?
318
00:24:00,315 --> 00:24:01,441
Do you have the--
319
00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:06,029
Did you just flinch?
You're acting very strange today.
320
00:24:06,029 --> 00:24:10,576
I think it's strange
that you think I'm strange.
321
00:24:10,576 --> 00:24:14,580
Okay, you strange, strange man.
322
00:24:15,581 --> 00:24:17,207
Come on, you scrooges.
323
00:24:17,207 --> 00:24:20,586
If I don't see you during
lunchtime carols, I'm writing you up.
324
00:24:24,047 --> 00:24:26,258
- After you.
- Coward.
325
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:42,024
I thought Six Thirty
could be your running buddy.
326
00:24:43,025 --> 00:24:44,902
Because I sure as hell
will not be doing that with you.
327
00:24:48,822 --> 00:24:50,032
It's perfect.
328
00:24:54,828 --> 00:24:58,332
I have one last thing. It's small.
329
00:25:07,049 --> 00:25:09,134
You should move in with me.
330
00:25:23,774 --> 00:25:25,859
- Hello?
- One second.
331
00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:27,027
I used my key.
332
00:25:31,657 --> 00:25:34,868
- What are you doing?
- Just tidying.
333
00:25:35,827 --> 00:25:40,707
- Tidying? Any particular occasion?
- Someone's coming to stay for a while.
334
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:41,917
For a while?
335
00:25:41,917 --> 00:25:44,336
Should I carry you over the threshold?
336
00:25:44,336 --> 00:25:46,255
No, that's for marriage.
337
00:25:47,631 --> 00:25:49,675
I bought forks.
338
00:25:50,384 --> 00:25:52,219
Impressive. How many did you get?
339
00:25:52,219 --> 00:25:54,263
Enough for two people
to have a to-go order.
340
00:25:54,263 --> 00:25:56,098
- So, two.
- Two.
341
00:25:56,932 --> 00:25:58,350
Did you get spoons and knives?
342
00:25:59,852 --> 00:26:00,853
Shit.
343
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:04,606
I am excited to expand our library.
344
00:26:05,691 --> 00:26:08,318
How many times
can one person read Great Expectations?
345
00:26:08,318 --> 00:26:12,281
You have made
the same lasagna dish 79 times.
346
00:26:12,281 --> 00:26:13,740
That is not a fair comparison.
347
00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:16,451
- It's slightly different every time.
- Same thing with a great book.
348
00:26:16,451 --> 00:26:19,246
- How is that possible?
- 'Cause the book stays the same,
349
00:26:19,246 --> 00:26:20,163
but you don't.
350
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:23,834
Well, you didn't tell me
that it's a magical book.
351
00:26:23,834 --> 00:26:26,962
- Tell me your secrets, magic book.
- No, it only speaks to me.
352
00:26:26,962 --> 00:26:28,547
It's my book.
353
00:26:30,507 --> 00:26:32,718
A new kind of question for you.
354
00:26:33,385 --> 00:26:36,054
How did you ever get up the nerve
to propose?
355
00:26:36,054 --> 00:26:39,683
I've never felt more certain
about anything in my life,
356
00:26:39,683 --> 00:26:43,228
and yet I am completely paralyzed by fear.
357
00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:46,023
Paralyzed by the idea
that as soon as I ask her
358
00:26:46,023 --> 00:26:49,026
to spend the rest of her life with me,
it'll break the spell
359
00:26:49,026 --> 00:26:50,611
and she'll realize
I'm not good enough for her.
360
00:26:50,611 --> 00:26:51,695
Breakfast?
361
00:26:53,405 --> 00:26:57,409
Perhaps the church did a better
job of intertwining love and fear in me
362
00:26:57,409 --> 00:26:58,577
than I realized.
363
00:26:59,536 --> 00:27:03,457
Dear Calvin,
My best advice is not to overthink it.
364
00:27:03,957 --> 00:27:06,543
All we can do on this earth
is love generously
365
00:27:06,543 --> 00:27:08,879
and hope that we are given the same
in return.
366
00:27:08,879 --> 00:27:09,880
None of us is perfect.
367
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,051
That's why wedding vows include the words
"for better or for worse."
368
00:27:14,593 --> 00:27:17,971
Scripture tells us
"above all, love each other deeply
369
00:27:17,971 --> 00:27:20,766
because love covers
over a multitude of sins."
370
00:27:21,308 --> 00:27:23,060
But perhaps it misses something.
371
00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:28,649
In order to truly love and be loved,
you must love all of someone,
372
00:27:29,650 --> 00:27:35,531
including their most difficult truths.
Perhaps especially those truths.
373
00:27:35,531 --> 00:27:36,657
Working on a sermon?
374
00:27:38,659 --> 00:27:41,954
More of a sermon for one.
Writing a letter to a friend.
375
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:47,668
Let me guess. The godless man of science?
376
00:27:48,210 --> 00:27:50,295
The one who sold me on chemo as
377
00:27:51,213 --> 00:27:55,509
"God's way of restoring
his original creation from
378
00:27:55,509 --> 00:27:57,427
- wayward cells."
-"Wayward cells." The very same.
379
00:28:03,433 --> 00:28:04,768
Some coincidence...
380
00:28:06,979 --> 00:28:09,106
the timing of this friendship.
381
00:28:10,023 --> 00:28:11,984
Well, "when coincidences start happening,
382
00:28:11,984 --> 00:28:15,195
they go on happening
in the most extraordinary ways."
383
00:28:15,904 --> 00:28:17,155
Did you come up with that?
384
00:28:17,155 --> 00:28:20,325
No, that is Agatha Christie.
385
00:28:20,325 --> 00:28:22,661
Boy, you need to quit.
386
00:28:25,247 --> 00:28:26,415
Dear Curtis,
387
00:28:26,999 --> 00:28:31,545
Believing that love can conquer all
is a beautiful idea to aspire to.
388
00:28:31,545 --> 00:28:32,921
I will give you that.
389
00:28:34,298 --> 00:28:37,634
Unfortunately, I fear for me,
it is different.
390
00:28:39,344 --> 00:28:42,848
I have spent a lifetime hiding
the worst elements of myself.
391
00:28:44,266 --> 00:28:47,728
I am terrified to think that anyone would
have to witness my defects.
392
00:28:48,896 --> 00:28:51,315
{\an8}Especially someone I care so deeply about.
393
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:03,535
Gasoline is jammed.
394
00:29:04,077 --> 00:29:05,412
Shall I call maintenance?
395
00:29:05,412 --> 00:29:08,165
They expect us to prepare for the Remsen
under these conditions?
396
00:29:08,916 --> 00:29:10,417
Absolutely ridiculous.
397
00:29:12,419 --> 00:29:13,337
Thank you.
398
00:29:15,422 --> 00:29:16,673
How many times?
399
00:29:17,382 --> 00:29:20,010
I specifically redirected
these correspondences to my lawyer.
400
00:29:20,010 --> 00:29:26,141
I cannot work when I am being inundated
by these unceasing and invasive lies.
401
00:29:26,141 --> 00:29:27,351
I'm sorry, Dr. Evans.
402
00:29:27,351 --> 00:29:30,979
- I wasn't instructed to sort any--
- Unacceptable! Who is your supervisor?
403
00:29:30,979 --> 00:29:32,064
Calvin.
404
00:29:32,648 --> 00:29:33,815
Thank you.
405
00:29:36,985 --> 00:29:37,986
Why did you do that?
406
00:29:37,986 --> 00:29:39,571
I just need them to stop.
407
00:29:41,865 --> 00:29:44,952
It's like no one appreciates
what I'm trying to accomplish here.
408
00:29:49,122 --> 00:29:52,376
Right. Well, I will let you get back
to your important work.
409
00:30:32,374 --> 00:30:33,876
Didn't think you'd be here.
410
00:30:35,210 --> 00:30:36,211
Of course I'm here.
411
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,552
You still want to be around me?
412
00:30:44,428 --> 00:30:45,596
Yes, I do.
413
00:30:46,555 --> 00:30:47,639
I lost my temper.
414
00:30:48,849 --> 00:30:53,687
People lose their tempers.
I'm more interested to know why.
415
00:31:00,444 --> 00:31:03,280
Calvin, it's not like you've been spared
from the worst parts of me.
416
00:31:04,698 --> 00:31:06,450
Doesn't make me like you any less.
417
00:31:08,243 --> 00:31:11,205
Well, what if I told you
I feel the same way about you?
418
00:31:15,792 --> 00:31:16,793
Try me.
419
00:31:19,046 --> 00:31:22,090
It's all gonna come out eventually anyway,
whether we like it or not.
420
00:31:32,643 --> 00:31:34,102
Don't-- wouldn't know where to start.
421
00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:39,858
Start slowly. Tell me what happened today.
422
00:31:52,955 --> 00:31:57,376
My parents abandoned me before they died.
423
00:32:02,047 --> 00:32:07,803
Those letters, people pretending to care
about me, claiming to be family...
424
00:32:11,348 --> 00:32:15,352
It's salt on a corroding wound.
425
00:32:20,858 --> 00:32:22,609
I'm glad my parents are dead.
426
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:31,034
It makes moving on simpler.
427
00:32:36,957 --> 00:32:41,211
It's hard to say aloud
the things we can barely say to ourselves.
428
00:32:48,385 --> 00:32:50,429
So much for starting slowly.
429
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:35,140
Dear Wakely,
430
00:33:35,807 --> 00:33:38,185
I'm sorry it's been a while
since I've written.
431
00:33:41,563 --> 00:33:44,858
I feel as if I've lived
several lives since my last letter.
432
00:33:45,776 --> 00:33:47,694
Left hand over right. That's good.
433
00:33:48,654 --> 00:33:52,407
Always left over right. How is it?
It's good. Nice.
434
00:33:52,407 --> 00:33:54,785
Your instinct's to put your thumbs
on the end.
435
00:33:57,412 --> 00:33:59,039
Do you know why? Yeah.
436
00:34:02,167 --> 00:34:03,043
Freddie.
437
00:34:03,043 --> 00:34:06,630
Hi. I just wanted to apologize
for the other day.
438
00:34:09,382 --> 00:34:10,384
Again, I'm sorry.
439
00:34:13,762 --> 00:34:17,266
I don't want to get married,
and I don't want to have children.
440
00:34:18,016 --> 00:34:21,478
Thank you for telling me. Now I know.
441
00:34:22,813 --> 00:34:23,813
Know what?
442
00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:27,150
What you need.
443
00:34:30,279 --> 00:34:34,241
As long as I have you and you are happy,
that is enough for me.
444
00:34:42,958 --> 00:34:46,170
Hey, buddy. Are you ready
to go on a walk? Okay.
445
00:34:49,547 --> 00:34:50,549
Almost.
446
00:34:52,259 --> 00:34:53,802
You wanna lick this stamp for me?
447
00:34:54,636 --> 00:34:56,013
All right.
448
00:34:58,932 --> 00:35:00,475
Okay. Let's go. Let's go.
449
00:35:03,020 --> 00:35:05,397
As you know,
I didn't want marriage.
450
00:35:05,397 --> 00:35:10,110
And then I found myself buying
an engagement ring of all things.
451
00:35:11,153 --> 00:35:12,487
- I think...
- Very close.
452
00:35:12,487 --> 00:35:14,823
...I was compensating
for what is broken in me...
453
00:35:14,823 --> 00:35:17,367
- Yes, we're going.
- ...grasping for something whole
454
00:35:17,367 --> 00:35:18,911
and perfect to give her,
455
00:35:19,536 --> 00:35:22,789
'cause I wanted to be perfect
for her so badly.
456
00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:32,716
All right, Six Thirty. You ready?
Let's go. Come on.
457
00:35:34,301 --> 00:35:36,887
But as always, she surprised me.
458
00:35:37,471 --> 00:35:40,474
She has seen the worst parts of me,
and still she loves me.
459
00:35:41,433 --> 00:35:44,228
Marriage, all those traditional steps,
460
00:35:45,229 --> 00:35:47,773
they may not be for us,
but we are for each other.
461
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,956
We are for each other.
462
00:36:05,332 --> 00:36:07,960
That sums up the whole damn universe,
wouldn't you say?
463
00:36:22,349 --> 00:36:23,433
Dear Calvin,
464
00:36:24,351 --> 00:36:26,019
How can you say you don't believe
in miracles
465
00:36:26,019 --> 00:36:30,440
when a man as certain as you
of being alone finds a love like yours?
466
00:36:31,149 --> 00:36:33,610
It seems to me you may have disproven
your own philosophy.
467
00:36:35,195 --> 00:36:36,697
I am thrilled for you.
468
00:36:37,781 --> 00:36:41,118
My family is preparing to return
with my father to California,
469
00:36:41,118 --> 00:36:43,036
and perhaps we can celebrate in person.
470
00:36:47,916 --> 00:36:49,877
Come on. Hey, come on.
471
00:36:51,003 --> 00:36:52,796
Six Thirty, it's okay.
472
00:36:53,505 --> 00:36:57,426
Hey, Six Thirty, come on. Hey, come on.
473
00:37:18,447 --> 00:37:20,866
What should I do
with Dr. Evans's mail now?
474
00:37:35,255 --> 00:37:37,299
Babe something for you.
475
00:37:56,610 --> 00:37:58,612
Mom! He's here!
476
00:38:01,198 --> 00:38:02,658
- Mr. Wakely.
- Hello.
477
00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:07,204
We called the boys home in Modesto
and are visiting next week.
478
00:38:07,204 --> 00:38:08,288
Can you believe it?
479
00:38:09,706 --> 00:38:11,416
Hello. Good to see you again.
480
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,046
Wow. I had no idea
you were Calvin's Elizabeth.
481
00:38:17,798 --> 00:38:21,760
It's incredible.
I brought these letters he wrote me.
482
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,803
Thanks.
483
00:38:23,929 --> 00:38:24,930
Come with me.
484
00:38:32,479 --> 00:38:34,565
So, what are your plans?
485
00:38:35,148 --> 00:38:38,318
Honestly,
all of this business of Calvin's history,
486
00:38:38,318 --> 00:38:40,195
rifling through his past...
487
00:38:41,196 --> 00:38:42,990
I would never withhold answers from Mad,
488
00:38:42,990 --> 00:38:47,286
but I am afraid of bringing people
into her life that I can't trust.
489
00:38:49,246 --> 00:38:52,457
I get it.
You're afraid of unknown variables.
490
00:38:53,625 --> 00:38:56,211
Calvin really rubbed off on you,
didn't he?
491
00:38:56,211 --> 00:38:59,840
- Or maybe I rubbed off on him.
- Makes so much sense now.
492
00:39:02,009 --> 00:39:05,304
Truth is,
we changed each other for the better.
493
00:39:08,473 --> 00:39:12,227
So, a priest and a chemist.
494
00:39:12,853 --> 00:39:14,688
What do you think brought
you two together?
495
00:39:15,314 --> 00:39:16,690
We both knew how little we knew
496
00:39:16,690 --> 00:39:18,483
and preferred asking questions
to answering them.
497
00:39:20,110 --> 00:39:21,361
What about you two?
498
00:39:22,863 --> 00:39:26,783
I think we found faith in each other.
499
00:39:27,451 --> 00:39:29,494
That's a funny word to hear coming
from you.
500
00:39:29,494 --> 00:39:30,537
How so?
501
00:39:31,538 --> 00:39:34,208
You do know that religion is based
on faith?
502
00:39:34,208 --> 00:39:36,710
And you know
that faith isn't based on religion, right?
503
00:39:39,171 --> 00:39:42,799
Yes, indeed.
You two are perfect for one another.
504
00:39:47,054 --> 00:39:48,722
I didn't know him long enough.
505
00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:51,558
No, you didn't.
506
00:40:12,454 --> 00:40:15,040
Do you know what it means
to temper your expectations?
507
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,124
To measure them?
508
00:40:16,750 --> 00:40:21,672
Close. It's to keep them low,
in case we don't get what we want.
509
00:40:21,672 --> 00:40:23,674
Okay, I will temper.
510
00:40:25,509 --> 00:40:29,972
No matter what comes of this,
I love you, and your dad does too.
511
00:40:29,972 --> 00:40:32,182
Mom, you always say that.
512
00:40:32,683 --> 00:40:35,269
But how can Dad love me
if he never met me?
513
00:40:36,103 --> 00:40:40,274
Because, Madeline Evans Zott,
some things defy empirical evidence.
514
00:40:49,449 --> 00:40:51,159
How can I help you, Mrs. Zott?
515
00:40:51,952 --> 00:40:56,415
Miss Zott, not Mrs.
My father and mother weren't married.
516
00:40:58,125 --> 00:41:00,252
You had a boy here named Calvin Evans.
517
00:41:01,670 --> 00:41:03,046
He was my father.
518
00:41:04,006 --> 00:41:07,384
And does your
father know you're here today?
519
00:41:07,384 --> 00:41:08,927
He passed away.
520
00:41:10,804 --> 00:41:14,099
I see. Well, I'm very sorry to hear that.
521
00:41:14,850 --> 00:41:16,768
My daughter found several demerits
522
00:41:16,768 --> 00:41:19,646
from this institution
in his personal effects.
523
00:41:26,695 --> 00:41:28,280
The name doesn't ring a bell.
524
00:41:29,198 --> 00:41:34,161
You must have some sort of system here.
Records or files you could refer to.
525
00:41:34,161 --> 00:41:37,039
Happy to check. What year did you say
your father was here?
526
00:41:37,664 --> 00:41:42,211
1921 to roughly 1939,
give or take a few years.
527
00:41:44,421 --> 00:41:45,714
Before the fire.
528
00:41:46,924 --> 00:41:52,471
I'm sorry to say that unfortunately
many of our oldest records burned.
529
00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:55,349
Are you sure you don't remember him?
530
00:41:56,099 --> 00:42:00,270
He loved science and books.
He was very smart and a fast runner.
531
00:42:00,270 --> 00:42:04,274
Might I suggest
that you look to the Heavenly Father
532
00:42:04,858 --> 00:42:06,985
to help heal what you're missing?
533
00:42:09,446 --> 00:42:13,200
Mad. I'm so sorry, bunny.
534
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,372
- Bunny, I know how disappointing this--
- It doesn't make any sense! He's lying!
535
00:42:18,372 --> 00:42:19,456
Mad.
536
00:42:50,362 --> 00:42:51,363
Bunny.
537
00:42:52,322 --> 00:42:53,991
I don't want another dead end.
538
00:42:54,867 --> 00:42:56,994
- I'm sorry, bunny. I--
- I know he was here.
539
00:42:56,994 --> 00:42:58,704
There's gotta be proof.
540
00:43:00,372 --> 00:43:01,915
All right. I'll help you.
541
00:43:28,817 --> 00:43:29,818
Mom, look.
542
00:43:49,463 --> 00:43:50,422
What is it?
543
00:43:51,798 --> 00:43:54,927
A lead. You were right.
544
00:44:05,312 --> 00:44:07,272
- I'm heading out.
- Good night, then.
545
00:44:07,272 --> 00:44:09,066
- And don't stay too late.
- Okay.
