"That's the atlas 3086." "It's really nice." "Yeah, thanks." "I couId tell them she wanted to die." "What?" "You could say it at your trial." "No, it's a hearing." "It's not a trial." "It's all right." "Thanks." "You don't want me to tell them?" "It doesn't really matter if your mom wanted to die or not." "The only thing that matters is if I handled the situation correctly." "I forgive you." "You forgive me for what?" "She took away my options when she put her car on the tracks." "Yeah, she did." "It just so happens she chose my train." "I know." "I got zero."

"It used to be so simple, you know?" "black and white." "There was a right thing to do..." "... anda wrongthingtodo." "Life is more like a gray area, Tom." "Not everything." "Some things you know for certain." "Meggie." "Hey, what's wrong?" "She's fine." "Here." "The lady from child Services." "What?" "She's at the door." "It's all right." "Stay here." "Who?"

"We should tell him I'm sick." "No, it's too soon." "I don't think he's ready." "I can call Susan and tell her to bring some dinner." "Don't worry about dinner, all right?" "Tom?" "It's gonna be okay." "almost ready." "And he wants to stay." "He needs us." "So that's that." "Yeah." "That's the craziest thing I've ever heard." "I know." "I mean, really." "Yeah, it's pretty bad." "Good." "Let it out." "Get it up." "That's all you gotta do." "Ready?" "Simi Valley Police Station." "Detective Crane, please." "Detective Crane speaking." "Hello?" "Hello?"

"... tothebestofyour recollection?" "I wish I couId go in." "Me too." "Why do we have to hide?" "Why can't I just tell the social worker I wanna stay with you?" "It doesn't work like that." "But why?" "people like to follow rules..." "... andyoustayingwithus definitely goes against that." "And what was your first reaction when you saw the car?" "I slowed the train down." "But you didn't use the emergency brake." "I decided not to." "The emergency brake wouldn't have stopped that train in time." "But your partner thinks the impact might have been prevented." "I disagree." "At that speed, with that many cars on the turn..." "... weprobablywould'vederailed." "If you could do it all over again, would you do anything differently?" "Mr. Stark." "I can't do it all over again." "But if you could." "No." "I wouldn't have done anything differently." "It's over, Tom." "There's no official investigation." "Everything was by the book."
