- Po.
Hey, po.
- Where's mommy?
Uh oh, it's dinnertime, daddy.
Come on.
- Po, po, hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
- No, no!
- Soft touch bad, hard touch good.
Come on, I got you.
- No, no!
- No, it's okay, it's okay, yeah.
Okay, daddy's got you.
Yeah, yeah, daddy's got you.
- Daddy's got me.
- Shh, that's right, daddy's got ya.
- Daddy's got me.
- Daddy's got ya.
Something funny?
- Daddy's a wrastler.
- Yeah, yeah, very funny.
- Watch out wrastler!
- Yeah, you want the wrastler?
You want the wrastler?
Take that, wrastler!
- It is the fifth straight day of losses for the s&p 500.
That's the longest losing streak in 13 months' time.
- Bloombergs is the professional's choice.
Listen to po.
- Po, I can't stay up all night.
You have to go to bed.
- Wall street journal.
- Record on December 29, you see there
what crude oil is doing right now,
still trading below $50 a barrel,
and expanding those profits.
- Oh, this one's for later.
- Ew.
What did you do?
Oh, po.
- It's the rainbow, dad.
- Why is it on the wall, po?
- It's your rainbow.
- Okay, po, new rule.
No food on the walls, okay?
No food on the walls.
All right, come on.
Let's go get some sponges and clean this up.
- It's your rainbow.
Your rainbow, daddy.
- Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come with me, come on.
Here you go.
- Autograph, please.
- Why are we doing this everyday?
- Autograph, please.
- Well, I am honored to be the sole member
of your autograph collection, po.
- Mac and cheese, please.
- No, we don't have Mac and cheese today, buddy.
- Calcium's good for your bones.
- Yeah, well, this is peanut butter and jelly
which is known for it's simplicity and budgetary properties.
What happened to your face?
- Mac and cheese, please.
- No, po, you have to eat your sandwich.
No, I am not doing this today.
- Patrick's a nice name for a boy,
but I think I'll call you po.
- You need to eat your sandwich.
- Where's mommy?
- Fine, you don't wanna eat it, I'll eat it.
Mm, mm, oh, what a delicious,
turns out dad makes a mean pb and j sandwich.
- Don't be afraid, daddy.
- Afraid of what, po?
- Yuck!
- Yuck.
- Mac and cheese, please.
- The capital city of Mississippi is?
Anyone?
Patrick.
Po?
Can you tell us what the capital city of Mississippi is?
- Hey, spaceman, the teacher asked you a question.
- Taylor, stop it.
- You know the answer, don't you, Patrick?
- M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i.
- What an idiot.
- Stop it, Taylor.
You know the answer, don't you?
Po?
It's Jackson, isn't it?
So, the capital city of Mississippi is?
- Jackson.
- Right, now can anybody tell me
the capital of Alabama?
- Good morning.
- Morning.
How we lookin'?
- Oh, we're great.
We've increased lift by 20%,
but she still won't get off the ground.
- It's the weight of the batteries.
It is just too heavy, now.
- Well we can't go any bigger with the wing size.
We may need a new design altogether.
- Maybe fewer seats.
- That's a deal-breaker, it's a 90-passenger minimum.
- David, Randall needs to speak with you
in his office right away.
- Yeah, I'll be right there.
Be right back.
- May I sit here?
Everything in the world is not in these books,
but it's a start.
I'm on mollusk.
Shellfish, you know, bottom feeders.
Oh, I'm Amelia, by the way.
Amelia carr.
I've moved here all the way from London
and I have two daddies.
Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Patrick, is it?
- Patrick is a nice name for a boy,
but I think I'll call you po.
- Hm, a nickname.
I'm not there yet, still on m.
I have an aunt constance who we call ac,
but that's more of an acronym than a nickname.
- Hey!
I say you could sit down?
- Friends of yours?
- You need to ask my permission.
- I must tell you,
even though we're just in sixth grade,
people will judge us by the company we keep.
- I think the spaceman's trying to fly away.
What's wrong with you, freak?
Look at you, you won't even fight back.
I guess today's your lucky day.
- I think you handled that very nicely.
Po, I do believe we are going to get along famously.
- This plane is going to change the game forever.
One month, you buy me one month,
and you'll see her fly, I promise.
- All right, I'll see what I can do.
But if you don't deliver,
I'll be forced to scrap the project,
and you will be let go.
- I understand.
- Moving numbers.
- What's that buddy?
- Can you find the pattern?
- Po, get some sleep.
- Good night, daddy.
- Good night, buddy.
- Dancing numbers.
- You know what I just realized?
- What's that?
- You're the second smartest person I know.
- All right, who's the first?
What if I can't do this, Ben?
All the promises I made?
They will dead cap this entire program, and then what?
What am I gonna do?
We spent all of our savings, and then some,
on Beth's medical bills.
I have po's expenses, I,
this has to work.
- What about your in-laws?
- It's complicated.
- Look, if it comes to it,
I could loan you some.
- No, no, come on, I'll manage.
It's okay.
- What am I saying?
I'm broke anyway.
It's the thought that counts though, right?
- Not as much as some coffee would.
- On it.
- Hello?
- Hi, Mr. Wilson.
I have Patrick in the nurse's office again.
I think you should come and pick him up.
- Uh, yeah, yeah, thanks.
I'll be right there.
Hey, Cathy.
- Oh, hey, Mr. Wilson.
- Hey, po.
How you doing, buddy?
How's that knee?
- Bat transmission received.
- Patrick, I've told you not to play with that.
He's obsessed with it.
- Amelia carr is on the letter m.
M for mollusks.
- Okay, come here, come here.
Let's sit down.
We're gonna leave in just a minute, sweetie.
- Amelia carr and i get along famously.
- Yeah.
- The principal wants to see you, Mr. Wilson.
- Okay, here, po hold this.
I will be right back.
- I'll be right back.
- Come on, he slipped and fell while playing?
Someone pushed him.
- They're kids, at that age they roughhouse.
We can't stop it all.
- How 'bout most?
Or just some?
- My concern is that he's making himself a target.
- Making himself?
Okay, he's different.
- He's regressing.
Mr. Wilson, Patrick's autism is--
- no, I know about his autism.
I know all about his autism.
I get all the reports.
I see the testing.
I pay for the therapy services.
I'm the one driving him around the neighborhood
every night until he falls asleep.
And you know what?
He won't even give me a hug.
My son won't give me a hug,
but that doesn't mean i love him any less.
And all I'm asking of you is that you don't give up on him.
- His language and communication, his social behavior,
his responsiveness, he's isolating himself more and more.
- All of which is typical for a boy like po
recovering from trauma.
- He isn't recovering, he's getting worse.
And I'm quite concerned.
When we decided to mainstream Patrick
he was in a very different place.
Now, I think we need to consider other schooling options.
- I've seen those other options.
You can forget it.
- The special ed program has really improved recently,
especially working with children like your son.
- He has been reading since he was three years old.
He seems to understand math concepts
that I struggled with in graduate school.
He doesn't need special education.
He just needs the regular old education
that you're supposed to be providing him.
- He can't stay here like this, Mr. Wilson.
He's simply not thriving.
- Hey, po.
Po, po, hey, come here for a second.
- Okay.
- Listen to me, it is not okay
for other kids to pick on you at school.
So daddy's gonna teach you,
hey, po, po, hey buddy, with me.
Daddy's gonna teach you
how to stand up for yourself, you understand?
- Stand up.
- That's right!
Okay, here, put your hand in here.
Okay, oh, come here.
It's okay.
Hey, it's okay.
That goes in there, exactly.
Left hand, just like that.
Good.
- Red balloons.
- Okay, no, not red balloons, not balloons, buddy.
Hey, look at me, look at me.
Right with me, okay.
Hands like this, hands like this.
Nope, down, like this, like this.
Hands like this.
Good, good, there we go.
Now, I want you to hit daddy's hands.
Hit my hands.
- No thanks.
- Po.
Po.
Po, I'm just trying to help.
- Okay, daddy.
Quiet time.
- All right buddy.
Be careful with your mom's scarf.
- Okay, bye daddy.
- Ahoy there, landlubber.
- Jack?
- The name is captain long beard.
- You mean black beard.
- Right.
Well, yes.
I was wondering if you could help me, please.
I, uh, well I can't seem to remember
where I buried me treasure.
- Don't you have a map?
- A map, oh, that's a great idea!
You're a smart one, po.
- Po, dinnertime.
- I have to go.
See ya later.
- Bring me back some of them noodles with the golden sauce.
- Po, po, dinnertime.
- Mac and cheese, please.
- Come on.
- Ouchie, ouchie, it hurts daddy.
- Come on, po, come on, you can do it.
Okay, okay.
I know, I know, just try and relax, okay?
Breathe.
- Okay, ouch.
Patrick's a nice name for a boy,
but I think I'll call you po.
- I know it sucks, buddy, I know it sucks.
I know it does.
This is why daddy tries to tell you
to eat your vegetables, honey.
- Where's mommy?
- Daddy's here, okay?
I'm here.
- Where's mommy?
And bench stocks took another beating today.
They just can't seem to get out
of the crosshairs of the regulators.
From the bailouts to the libor and the fx scandals to now,
cyber security breaches.
The real question out there is, do we need banks at all?
It's truly only a matter of time
'til Google or apple displaces them.
That's worth noting.
- All right, buddy.
Time for bed now.
- Amelia carr is on the letter m.
- Is Amelia a friend of yours at school?
- She has two daddies.
- Oh yeah?
Well, you only have one daddy,
and he has to get back to work,
so bed.
- Did mommy get this for me?
- No, buddy.
Daddy bought this for mommy.
And it is very special.
- Don't be afraid, daddy.
- Afraid of what, po?
- Wrastler.
- Goodnight, sweetie.
- Goodnight, daddy.
- Sleep tight, buddy.
More lift.
That's all there is to it.
- The musk ox, or ovibos moschatus,
is quite unusual in that both male and female members
of the species grow horns.
How magnificent.
- Magnificent.
- Turn around.
- Welcome to the aquarium by the sea.
- I'm primarily opposed to the caging of wild animals,
but if I was a fish, this is the place I would pick.
We can be carnivores, that is, eaters of meat,
and still treat animals with general regard and dignity.
Don't you agree, po?
- Let's put the dummy in the tank.
- Taylor.
- I wouldn't call myself an expert
though I am fairly well-read on the subject of sharks
the mako shark, to be more specific.
Did you know that the mako shark is capable of swimming
at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour?
Most people have a fear of sharks,
but they are more afraid of us than we are them,
and for good reason.
Over 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans.
- There you are.
Please don't wander away from the rest of the class, okay?
- Okay.
- Not today.
- This is going to be the first
hybrid commercial aircraft in the world.
It is good for the planet.
It is great for the airlines
who are going to save hundreds of millions
in gallons of fuel.
- And how many gallons of fuel is it going to save us
while it's sitting on the ground?
- Well, technically, if it's sitting on the ground
you're not using fuel at all.
- That's enough, Ben.
- My team and I are very close.
The batteries are efficient,
they're very heavy so we've had to completely overhaul
traditional wing design to reach our goals--
- which remains entirely theoretical at this point.
- It's not theoretical, it's innovative.
- I remember you telling me
you wanted this company to be founded on innovation.
That's what I'm doing.
I just need more time.
- Two years ago, when we engaged in this hybrid project,
we shared in your confidence, Mr. Wilson.
But the truth is, at this point, we are losing money.
The board is not unsympathetic
to what you've been through recently,
however, we have other considerations.
- Thank you, but this plane will fly.
And when it does,
this company will be years ahead of its competition.
- David, would you say another 30 days would be fair
to continue with the project to achieve our next milestone?
- I think--
- excuse me.
Mr. Wilson, it's a call from your son's nanny.
Her car broke down and she can't pick po up
from sensory integration therapy.
- Thank you, Peggy.
Don't go, I'm sure he'll be all right
by himself for a while.
- I'm sorry, Randall, i need to go.
We will continue this.
My apologies, everyone.
- Very good, all right, now hold on.
- Daddy!
- Oh. - Hey.
- Hi.
- Daddy, this is Amy.
- Hi.
- She's pretty.
- Oh, okay.
All right, well, we are moving to the swing now.
- Wow, he really likes this room.
- Is this your first time at the center?
- Yeah, well, I've been taking him to a lot
of therapy appointments, lately but it's my first time here.
Not here in this center, just here in this room.
- Right, got it.
- So, how does all this help him?
It looks like a playground in here.
- This is sensory integration.
So the human body is designed to read its environment.
Your brain is constantly receiving signals
from each and every one of countless receptors
in and on your body.
So, imagine if your clothing, like,
constantly felt itchy to you
would you be able to then concentrate on your job?
Or, if you weren't able to tune out sound
would you be able to solve a math problem
while hearing your neighbors arguing?
Without the ability to reflexively manage the system
we would feel totally overwhelmed and constantly lose focus.
Which is po's struggle.
So here, we are therapeutically training
his nervous system to manage itself.
- Wow, thank you.
- For what?
- I just have been taking him
to all these therapy appointments
and no one really takes the time to explain to me
exactly how they're helping him.
- Well, honestly, feel free to ask anything any time.
Po, you wanna do music?
- Music time.
- Yeah, would you mind pressing play
on that little boom box?
- Oh, sure.
Oh, hey, you like Billy idol, too?
- No, not me, that's po's favorite.
- Seriously?
- Do you wanna actually help?
You can push him on the swing
while I see if he can catch some of these.
- Uh, yeah, sure, okay.
- Daddy's a wrastler.
- What's wrastler?
- I wrestled in high school.
His mom showed him the picture once,
and I think it kinda stuck.
- Mm.
- Ready?
- All right, ready po?
One, two, three.
Good job.
- Wow!
Fly daddy!
- Pretty cool, isn't it, po?
- Spin, daddy, spin.
- Watch this, he's spinning.
- I can fly?
- I don't think so, it's harder than it looks.
Barrel roll.
- Careful, daddy.
- I can fly.
Po can fly.
- Okay, okay, okay, now hold on.
Now, there we go.
Ready, put your thumbs on there.
Nice and easy, nice and easy.
- Okay, daddy.
- Good, po, that's great.
All right, now pull up just a little.
No, that's too hard, buddy, po.
- It's broken.
- Yeah, it is.
Po can fly, huh?
- Maybe next time.
- Hello.
Yeah, no, I know how bad,
yes, Randall.
Yes, you know I would never.
Yes, yes, I will, you know I will.
Yes, you know I will.
Yes.
Thank you, Randall.
Two weeks at,
po, po!
Freeze, freeze!
- That was a big ouchie.
- You are a very brave boy, po.
Do you hear me?
Very brave.
- Wilson?
- Yeah.
- Bill haze, child social services.
Can I have a word with you outside, please?
- Uh, what do you need to talk to me about?
- I think outside would be better.
- Hey, po, I'll be right back.
Stay here, okay?
Stay right here.
- Big ouchie.
- Okay,
let's forgo the bullshit speech
about me not being the enemy.
- Listen, I take good care of my son.
- The bruises, Mr. Wilson.
- What bruises?
- The attending physician noted 17 separate
and aged bruises on your son's body.
- All kids have accidents.
- No, actually that's not true.
- Well then, what're you trying to say?
Are you telling me that I hurt my son?
Because po's not like other kids, he--
- he has autism.
- Yes, and since his mother died, especially,
he doesn't pay attention to his surroundings,
so sometimes he has accidents.
- He gets hurt a lot.
- Sometimes, not because of me.
- Yeah, we've already established that.
- Then why do I feel like you don't believe me?
- Okay, we need the speech.
I get called in when children get hurt.
I try to see those hurts don't happen again.
I take this very seriously
'cause I've seen the price of failure.
- Good.
- I'm not your enemy, I'm your child's advocate.
By the way, that should make us friends,
but it probably won't.
I don't make decisions about anything.
I take notes and i make recommendations.
I've studied very hard to get here.
And I've mentored under some of the best veterans
in my department.
And in that time I've dealt with the cases
of more than 300 children.
Now, it's your legal and god-given right
to disagree with me, but please,
don't ever tell me i don't know my business.
- I didn't say you don't know how to do your job.
I said I didn't hurt my son.
- Okay, David, I'll be in touch.
- Great.
- I don't get it.
- It's about loving yourself,
being confident, and enjoying your life to the fullest.
- Wow, you got all that from a song?
- Yep.
- Look what I invented.
Marshmallow,
Graham cracker,
chocolate.
I'm gonna be rich.
- Um, it's called a s'more, Jack.
- Oh, that's perfect.
You're a genius, po.
J-e-n-i-o-u-s.
- Jack, genius is spelled g-e-n-i-u-s.
- Thank you for that information.
- Two weeks left, how're we doing?
- Could not be better.
- You wouldn't lie to your boss, would you?
- Well, if I would, i would lie to you,
and tell you that I wouldn't.
- Right.
- Two weeks.
- Yeah.
- Get out of my way, freak.
- Hey, Mr. Wilson.
- Hey, Amy, hi.
- Hi, they having a sale on Mac and cheese?
- Uh, yes, yes.
It's for Patrick.
- You might wanna get him
to eat some Greens once in a while.
- There's actually a website
that teaches you how to get vegetables
inside your kid's Mac and cheese without them noticing.
It's genius.
- Wow, I'm impressed.
- That's a lot of water.
- Oh, yeah, it's for the kids at the center.
- Nice.
Do you need some help getting it to your car?
- Yes, please.
- So, turns out, he'd memorized the number to yellow cab,
he called himself a taxi,
he was halfway to Santa Monica pier by the time I found him.
- Santa Monica pier, why?
- Well, probably because his mom and I
used to take him there all the time.
I'm sorry, does that story sound a bit,
I mean, I do keep a close eye on him.
I just--
- no, no, don't be so sensitive.
Po is a total character.
And also, a lot of kids with autism
tend to run off for no reason.
- I just wish that I could get inside his head sometimes,
you know, and see what he's thinking.
- Yeah, yeah, me too.
- Oh, sorry.
Okay, I have to relieve po's nanny,
so I will see you you sometime, I suppose.
You know, no, of course,
I'll see you at occupational therapy.
- Do you wanna take down my number?
- Okay.
- Here.
That's my cell.
- Smiley face, no one does that anymore.
- I'm old school, so feel free to call me anytime.
Bye, Mr. Wilson.
- David.
- Bye, David.
- Oh, it's a rainbow.
- Uh, where's your son's room?
- Uh, this way.
He's right in here.
- How often does he do that?
- Oh, every once in a while.
You know, it's comforting to him.
- May I?
- Yeah, of course.
- Patrick.
Patrick.
- Po.
- Patrick's a nice name for a boy,
but I think I'll call you po.
- Well, hey, po.
My name's bill.
- Okay, bill.
- So, what'd you eat that made you so burpy?
- Mac and cheese.
- Po, tell him what you had for lunch.
- Mac and cheese, please.
- No, no, buddy, you had peanut butter and jelly.
- Yuck, no, thank you.
- He's being silly.
I mix vegetables into his Mac and cheese all the time.
He has no idea.
- It's okay.
For what it's worth,
your burp smells just like Mac and cheese.
Seven cheese manicotti, mm-mm.
- Okay, bye bye, bill.
- This probably wasn't the best day for us to--
- it never is.
- I just, I just mean the--
- listen, I'll be putting in a recommendation
for dismissal of any further investigation
into abuse and neglect in this matter.
- That's great, thank you.
I appreciate that.
- That was the official part.
- Okay, what's, what's the unofficial?
- There's a residential treatment center in calabasas,
state subsidized, some federal grants.
I know the director quite well.
- I'm sorry, you want me to put po in a home?
Forget it.
- It's not a home.
It's a facility that provides schooling
and applied behavioral care for children with autism.
It's a more aggressive stance, for sure,
but it might just be what po needs.
- Okay, I can handle him here, thank you.
- What do intend to do if your son continues to drift?
- Drift?
- He's moving somewhere in his mind.
I've seen it before with other children.
- We all drift in and out sometimes, don't we?
- You and I do, yes,
and then we come back.
Some children, like po, drift and don't come back.
- I'm with po every day.
I think I know what's best for him.
- You're in a very unique position, Mr. Wilson,
single dad, special needs son,
it's not very common.
I know we guys like to convince ourselves
that there's glory in the struggle, but--
- okay, you're right about one thing.
- What's that, David?
- We are not going to be friends.
- Where is he?
- Ooh, that was a close one.
- You're telling me.
- Come with me.
- Patrick, come out and play with us.
We're not gonna hurt you.
We promise.
Come on, let's look over there.
We're gonna find you.
- Don't you just love it here?
- Of course I do.
- And if you want to po, you can live here forever.
- What do you mean?
- You'll see.
- Worldwide sales rose 8.2% in the fourth quarter.
8.2% in the fourth quarter,
that's worth noting, 8.2%.
- Hey po, do you know
if your dad knows how to use a telephone?
- Daddy's great.
- Oh.
- Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
- Po, daddy's been very busy.
- Which one should I believe.
- Po.
- Oh, I knew it.
- Amelia carr says that muskrats are important
to the ecosystem of north America.
Though minks will eat muskrats,
so be careful, muskrats!
- Po, daddy really needs some quiet time right now, okay?
- Amelia carr has a beautiful voice.
- Po, daddy is very happy that you have a friend at school.
- She has two daddies.
- I know, but, if you're going to stay in here right now,
I need you to be quiet.
- Don't be afraid, daddy.
- Be afraid of what, po?
- Where's mommy?
- Po, I need quiet, right now.
Please.
- Oh, okay, daddy.
Fax machine, daddy!
- Dammit, po, shut up!
Shut up!
Why can't you understand the words coming out of my mouth?
Stop talking.
I can't think when you won't stop talking!
Hey, no.
- No, no!
- Okay, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, buddy.
Sorry, po, that was not your fault.
That was not your fault.
Daddy's an idiot.
Okay, daddy's an idiot.
- Amelia carr can talk to trees, Amelia carr.
Amelia carr can talk to trees.
- You guys really worked your asses off on this,
and I appreciate it.
And I talked to Randall,
and while you might be shuffled around between departments,
you're all keeping your jobs.
- What about you?
- Oh, I have the opportunity to go pursue my dream
of being a medieval blacksmith.
- Okay guys, let's give this guy some room.
- Hey, thanks for everything.
- Oh, that's it?
You're just going to quit?
- Look, i got fired, man.
What do you want me to do?
- What I don't want you to do is to give up on this plane.
Come on man, we were this close, you know that.
- Hey, I'll uh, I'll call you,
maybe we can talk about it.
- Will you?
Please do.
- I will.
- Hey, keep your head up.
- Reuters reports general electric
is down 12 cents a share profits.
12 cents, 12.
- Po, po!
I need your help.
I can't seem to find my horse.
I, uh, I know he's around here somewhere.
Marshmallow, marshmallow, where are you?
- Marshmallow, really?
- Yes, why?
You don't like it?
- It's kind of a silly name for a horse, Jack
- oh, well, someone's in a bad mood.
- I'm just worried about my dad, he seems sad all the time.
- Oh well, parents are weird.
Butterfly!
- Okay, good talk.
- My boss got a call today
from your healthcare provider saying that uh,
they were ending their service contract with po.
- What, that's gotta be some kind of glitch.
- I mean, I could continue working with him
if you wanted to pay out of pocket, but--
- I,.
I, I can't, I lost my job.
- I'm sorry, I, uh.
- It's okay.
- But the thing is I,
my company won't let me work with him without a contract
'cause it's like a liability, and if he were to get--
- yeah, okay, i totally understand.
I should have continuing coverage for 12 months,
so they shouldn't be canceling anything.
I'll take care of it.
- Okay.
- Watch out!
- Hey.
- Hey, can I get in?
Oh!
- Wrastler.
- Oh!
I'm supposed to have continuing health coverage
for up to 12 months, or until I get a new job.
- The coverage lasts for 12 months,
but that's base services.
Nonessential treatment's cut after 30 days.
- Nonessential?
It's therapy for his condition.
- It's just not medically defined.
- It is, it's autism.
He has autism.
- Which is not a qualifying medical condition
for base level services.
- This is crazy, this is crazy.
You know this is crazy, right?
About one in 70 kids has autism.
Someone you know has autism.
How can this not be covered?
- You can file a formal complaint, but i must advise you,
the response time is 18 months.
- 18, severance coverage only lasts 12 months.
- Trust me when I tell you,
you're not the first person to figure that one out.
- Right.
- If you wish to keep nonessential services,
you can move on to a monthly fee-for-service plan.
- Is this a joke?
This is more than out-of-pocket.
Oh, but I'm not the first one
to figure that one out either, right?
- It's the only option we have.
- Of course it is.
- I wanna play with Amelia carr.
- We're not going to do that right now, po.
We're working on shapes.
- No, Amelia.
Where's Jack?
- Po.
- Come here.
No, hey, po, calm down.
Po, stop it.
- Toy store.
- No, the toy store's not there anymore, po, you know that.
- Let's go to the toy store.
- No, it's not there anymore.
- Where's mommy?
- Stop it, will you stop it please?
No, no, hey, you can't take a shoe.
No, you can't touch that.
- Where's mommy?
- Po, come here.
Listen to me.
Stop asking me that.
Mommy's not here.
And she's not coming back, okay?
Po!
Po, are you?
Hey, po!
Po!
Hey, can you help me find my son?
He's 11 years old, he has brown hair,
blue stripped shirt, and jeans, po!
You guys see a kid with a blue stripped shirt?
- We have a code Adam, young boy.
- Po!
Approximately 10 years old,
blue stripped shirt, any eyes on him?
- How long ago did you lose him?
- I didn't lose him, he ran off,
about 15 minutes.
- Has he been here before?
Is there a certain store that he likes a lot?
- He likes the toy store, but it's not here anymore.
I don't know.
- Can you just try and keep calm, all right?
He's 11, you said?
- Yes.
- He should be just fine.
- No, he, you don't understand.
He gets hurt a lot, he's,
hey, are you just gonna stand there writing?
You know what?
Forget it.
Po!
Po, where are you?
Po, po!
- Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wilson.
- Did you find him?
- Please, just come with me.
- Did you find my son?
- Will you just come with me, sir?
Thank you.
- No, ouchie, ouchie.
It's a rainbow, daddy.
- Are you okay?
Hey, are you okay?
I'm so sorry, buddy.
- Sir, your son shoplifted these items
from the store over here.
This is pretty serious.
- Rainbow, daddy.
- Okay, sweetie.
Po, my son, is, he has some challenges.
He's not a shoplifter, i swear to you.
He does stuff like this.
- Give me a second.
- Po, you cannot run away from me like that.
We've talked about this so many times.
It makes me very upset.
- Don't be sad, daddy.
- I'm not sad, buddy, I'm just,
I don't know what I am.
- Me too.
All right sir,
we've got something worked out.
- Oh, thank you.
Here, stay right here.
- You'll need to make restitution for the damaged items,
and it's gonna be few thousand dollars, sir.
- A few?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- We have your name and address,
she'll be sending you the bill.
- Uh, okay, okay, thank you.
I'm so sorry about this.
I'll take care of all this.
Thank you for your help.
Come on, let's go.
- Sir, few words of advice, if I may?
- Okay.
- If I was you, I'd keep my retarded kid on a leash.
That way he won't get away from you.
- Time to go, po.
- My dad's a wrastler.
- You kinda deserved that, you know.
- Hi.
I just need you to tell me it's okay.
I don't know how to move on without you.
- Hey, where you going off to freak?
I'm talking to you.
- Please, ouchie, ouchie.
- Ouchie, what are you a baby?
- Please.
- You don't run away from me when I call you.
You get that through your little bird brain.
- It's a documented fact that the inferior members
of the species are prone to aggressive behavior.
- What a freak.
- I'm not a freak!
- Bye, Patrick, po.
Bye, po.
- Patrick's school teacher, myself, the therapy instructors,
we've all become quite concerned
about po's declining situation.
I need to inform you
that we're going to be calling a meeting
to recommend Patrick be transferred
into specialized programming.
- No, you can't do that.
- We need to, Mr. Wilson.
We simply can't provide what he needs here.
- Right, you mainstream kids, but the fact is,
you can't really handle kids outside of the ordinary.
They muck up the works.
They're expensive, even if they're smart.
They don't score well on your standardized tests.
Isn't that it?
- Your son is struggling.
And every single one of us is sick about it.
- Come on, this is a blip, and you know it.
You know what he's been going through.
Po is a smart boy.
He could run circles around most of these kids.
He just does it in his own way.
He's even starting to make friends, uh,
Amelia, Amelia carr.
Po has never had a real friend his own age,
and he can't stop talking about this girl here at school.
- Amelia?
- Amelia carr, she has two daddies.
- Mr. Wilson, we do not have a student
named Amelia carr in this school.
- What are you talking about?
- I know every student in this school.
Not a single Amelia anything, I assure you.
- Well that's impossible.
- Excuse me.
- Hi, daddy.
Where's mommy?
- Stop it, po.
- Patrick's a nice name for a boy,
but I think I'll call you po.
- All right, po.
Hey, po, calm down, calm down.
- Where's mommy?
- Stop it.
No, hey, give me.
- Where's mommy?
- Po, stop!
- Where's mommy?
- Stop it!
- Uh oh.
- This is for the expired tags.
You'll need to get valid registration within 30 days,
or the next citation will result
in an impounding of your vehicle.
What happened to your eye?
- Oh, it was, it was at school.
No, at school, another kid hit him.
- Another kid hit him?
- Yeah, at school.
- Step out of the car, please.
- Out of the car?
- Yeah.
- Po, stay here, everything's fine.
Okay. - Come on.
What happened to his eye?
- Another kid hit him at school.
I told you.
- Hey, where are you guys going?
- Po, get back in the car, everything's fine.
- You okay?
- It's dinnertime.
- No, buddy, get back in the car.
- All right, just forget about the ticket.
- Okay, we're fine?
- We're good.
- Come on, honey, get in the car.
- Drive safe.
- Hi, I'm trying to reach bill haze.
Yes, I'll hold.
You're gonna love this place, buddy.
It's only for a little while,
and daddy's gonna be there all the time to see you,
and they have tons of fun kids, and guess what?
They even have macaroni and cheese.
Isn't that great, po?
Okay, um,
po,
the fact is, daddy's been having a really hard time lately.
I don't think I'm doing a very good job
of taking care of you,
and you deserve the best
because you're a very special boy.
Okay, yeah, sorry.
Sorry.
- It's a nice place, safe,
well-equipped to handle your son's needs.
- Patrick will be
well looked after here, Mr. Wilson,
we've had a great success rate with our live-in aba therapy.
- Uh, I think I should check on him just one more time.
- Mr. Wilson. David, you've already said goodbye.
You'll just confuse him.
Give him some time.
- Yeah.
I'm going to be here all the time.
- Door's always open.
- Do me a favor, keep an eye out for po.
He's pretty special.
- They all are.
- Uh, wow.
You do realize that you're way overqualified
for this position.
- What if I promise to only work hard enough
to the point of being perfectly qualified?
- That's funny, and lazy.
- Listen, I'm just gonna be straight with you,
I have a son with special needs
who's being cared for right now
by an agency that will certainly
and probably unexpectedly cut off funding.
It's just how these things always go.
So, I need to get both of us
back onto healthcare as soon as possible.
So I will do this job, i will do it well,
any way you want to.
I will never complain about it being beneath me
or about it being boring.
I will be a model employee.
And everybody,
everyone will say,
damn, Randy knows how to hire people.
Please, I'm begging you.
- There's no need to beg, okay.
I like you, we'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
- I'm glad that you called.
I was um, starting to wonder about you.
- I enrolled po in the aba facility in calabasas.
- Wow, that must have been really difficult
- I feel like a horrible father.
- No, you're not, you're not.
You're doing everything that you can.
- Am I?
- This could turn out to be a really great thing for him.
And if it's not, then you can pull him out.
Oh, here comes one.
- Look at that, you see the shape of the wings?
It converts the forward thrust into lift.
It takes 75 tons of metal off the ground.
It seems to defy all the laws of physics,
but the physics are perfect which is why it works.
And now we've got composite materials.
- Yeah.
- New composite materials, new designs,
so we can increase the lift
and reduce the size and weight.
- How do you know all of that stuff?
- It's what I do, I'm an engineer.
- Oh.
- Before I lost my job
I was working on a new plane, a hybrid.
I was designing the airframes,
the wings and the fuselage, not the propulsion system.
Sorry.
- No, there you go, you are the first engineer
who's ever explained his job to me.
- Unfortunately, i don't think it's ever
getting off the ground.
- Bad physics?
- Pretty much.
I had it in my head.
I could see it, and then it disappeared.
Well, it's just a plane, right?
- I'm sure it was more than that.
- Could've been.
- Well, I believe that god grants blessings
in mysterious ways.
- Thanks for coming out here to talk to me, Amy.
I really appreciate it.
- Of course.
- It's highly repetitive, and it seems so simplistic,
but we perform these behavioral routines for several hours
every day until they become routine.
Now the kids are rewarded for their successes
mostly in the form of stickers
that we have here for goodies and toys.
And we do this with social skills,
academics, self-care and hygiene, and motor functions.
- What does it really change?
At the end of the day,
they're still the same basic kid, right?
- Well, here's something most men understand.
Now, imagine that you're horrible at, let's say, basketball,
just born without the height, the speed, the coordination.
But let's say, from a very early age,
you're out there with a coach, every day, for hours
working on basic skills, over and over.
Free throws, set shot, three-pointer, over and over again,
training your body to make these shots.
Now, through repetition,
even the most unblessed athlete
would be reasonably proficient at these skills.
And then no, you don't make the nba,
but maybe you make your high school team,
and that's not bad.
- He looks pale to me.
- Well on that front, you can rest assured
that every kid here is getting three solid meals a day,
plenty of rest, and medical attention whenever needed.
- Sounds like,
I'll be back on Thursday, thank you.
Hey, po.
Uh, I have to go to work.
But I'll be back on Thursday, okay buddy?
- Don't be afraid, daddy.
- I'll be back on Thursday.
- Do you think you're ready to come with me?
- No, not yet.
- Okay, you let me know when you're ready.
- I will.
- Oh, it's not broken.
You just had the blades on the wrong way.
These are fixed-pitch propellers, so two spin clockwise,
the other two spin counterclockwise.
- Cool.
- Now by precisely and accurately spinning
these four propellers at different speeds,
all the common directional movements
of the standard helicopter are attained.
- Wow.
- There you go.
- Thank you so, so much.
- Anytime.
- Thank you.
- Now you.
- So this is where they hide genius.
- Hey, man.
- You've been thinking about our plane, haven't you?
- I can't stop.
Thank you.
- Nice digs you got here.
- Well, they've got a real health plan.
Listen, hey, thanks for the coffee.
I gotta get back to work.
- They've got you on boss watch?
Serious, do they not understand who you are?
Should I tell them?
- Please don't.
- All right, well listen, I've been doing some thinking,
and I think that what you need is a woman.
Wait, hear me out.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna go out,
we're gonna get some drinks,
we're gonna meet some nice girls.
We drive to Vegas.
- I can't, I can't.
I, uh, I've kind of started seeing somebody.
- Wow, I'm happy for you, man.
I'm, all right, all right.
My boy David is getting some, people!
- Really?
- You are a good man, David Wilson.
- Have a nice day, total stranger.
- Woo!
- That's amazing.
- And if you board this ship, po,
you can live here forever.
- Are they lost children too?
- Oh no, not lost, in movement.
You see all beings exist on multiple planes.
But most can only perceive the one that they're on.
They're unable, or unwilling to see the others.
But some children, have the ability
to tune into other frequencies.
That's why you appear tuned out in their world
because you're moving between places, po.
Well, they don't understand it,
so they give it simple names,
refer to it as a medical condition.
But the children here are from the world over.
- This is all so incredible.
- Oh, po, this is just one channel.
The places your mind will take you,
I can't even begin to imagine.
- Has he been eating?
- It's been a struggle.
- Po.
Po.
- Patrick's a nice name for a boy.
- Do you remember me, po?
- Amelia carr can talk to trees.
- It's Amy, po.
- Jack's my friend.
- I'd really like to be put in the loop on his report.
- I do appreciate your concern,
but that's really just limited to--
- please.
- I'll list you as family.
- Thank you.
Mm, you're right, this is a great pb and j.
- I told you.
- Um, I saw po yesterday.
- At shoreline, why?
- I missed him.
- I wish you would've asked me first.
- I'm sorry, I was just, um, worried about him.
- Yeah, I'm worried about him too,
but I didn't have a choice
'cause his school's pushing him out,
and the whole insurance screw up, and my job,
and I don't have any money,
so I can't take care of him.
Bill was right, I let my ego get in the way.
I did it with my job.
I did it with po.
- Do you ever wonder why po drifts?
- Do I wonder why he drifts?
Yeah, yeah, I do.
I wonder why he drifts.
I wonder why he flaps his arms.
I wonder why he won't eat.
I wonder if he'll ever learn how to tie his shoes,
or get a girlfriend, or get married, yeah.
I wonder a lot.
- Well, when I was there,
they told me that you hadn't seen I'm in a couple of days.
- They told you that?
I've been working double shifts at a hobby shop,
so we don't lose our house.
Did they tell you that?
- I just think that when you get the time,
you should probably go see him.
- Where's this coming from?
Why are you on my case?
You're not his mom.
- You're right, I'm not his mom.
But you're his dad.
Do not let him drift away 'til there's nothing left.
I'm only trying to help.
- Well, I didn't ask for your help.
- You're right.
- David.
- Beth.
- I thought I'd sleep in here tonight.
- I miss you so much.
- Is po okay?
- Po?
- Didn't you just go check on him?
I thought I heard him cry.
- Yeah, yeah, I just,
I can't do this alone.
I need you here.
- You've done real well.
You'll do just fine.
Don't be afraid, David.
- Hello.
- Mr. Wilson, you're son po
has gone missing from shoreline.
Please come to the facility as soon as you can.
- Bill, where is he?
- David, I'm really sorry,
but we have no idea where--
- we searched the entire facility.
He's definitely not inside the building.
- I assure you, this has never happened before.
- You have surveillance cameras on the property?
- Yeah, we do.
It's dvr inside the administration's office.
- Great, now you wanna tell me how you lose a kid?
- We will find him, I promise you.
- -Yeah, bill this is your responsibility!
- David, calm down.
- Don't you tell me--
- sir, we have a witness who saw a boy
that matches the description,
who got into a cab here on this street about an hour ago.
What we don't have
is the name of the taxi company or license plate.
- Oh, god.
- Do you have any idea where your son might take a cab?
- Yes.
Po!
Po.
Po, can you hear me?
- Come on, are you ready?
- Once I get on the rocket ship,
there's no coming back, right?
- We exist on many planes, but we can only live on one.
I know you'll make the right choice, po.
- Don't you leave me, you understand?
I am not going to let you go.
- I'm ready.
- I'm glad, po.
- Po, please.
Po.
Po, can you hear me?
Come on, buddy.
Po, po, please come back to me, buddy.
Hey, po.
Po.
- Don't be afraid daddy.
- Don't be afraid of what, pal?
- Don't be afraid of me.
I don't want people to be afraid of me.
Don't be afraid of me, daddy.
- I'm not afraid of you.
Daddy's not afraid, not anymore.
- Where's mommy?
- Po, mommy died,
and I didn't take you to the funeral because,
I was wrong, I was wrong.
And you didn't get a chance to say goodbye,
and I am so sorry.
You listen to me, po, your mommy is in heaven,
and she is dancing with angels.
She's fine.
You hear me?
Your mommy's fine.
- I know.
I miss her, daddy.
- I miss her too, buddy.
I miss her too.
Let's go, buddy.
- In light of all of our meetings
with po over the past few days,
and with a new, rather detailed
plan of attack from po's father,
we've decided to have po back at Parker elementary school.
And thanks to Jack and his watchful eyes,
Taylor march has been expelled for bullying.
I'm so sorry we didn't catch this sooner, Mr. Wilson.
- Thank you, Jack.
- Natural selection is the theory
of plant and animal adaptation first introduced
by Charles Darwin in 1859.
Not that you would notice,
but I've moved on to the letter n.
- Natural selection is the theory
by which organisms with more favorable traits
are more likely to survive.
- Po Wilson, you've been borrowing my book
without my permission.
- Yeah.
- I'm afraid it's that time.
Over time you'll forget about me more and more.
We'll still be with you,
as will your mother, and all of the others
looking out for you.
Always and forever.
- All right.
What do ya think?
- It's a rainbow, daddy!
- Yeah, is there a rainbow?
- Rainbow!
- Rainbow.
- It's the rainbow!
Of course, it's a rainbow!
You're a genius!
- I told you.
- You told me.
- A rainbow.
- Yes, you did.
- Rainbow. - High five.
It flies.
My son calls it the rainbow wing.
It increases lift by 80%.
This design will change the way you and I fly
for the rest of our lives.
- My god!
- And you're sure it flies?
- Oh, yeah, it flies, we tested it.
You can do a full-scale test as early as next month.
- That is the plan i promised you.
- Good job, David.
- Thanks, oh, one more thing,
I quit.
- Excuse me?
- Uh, he just gets excited.
- Thank you, Peggy.
- Wait, wait.
Are, are you seriously quitting?
- David, at least you gotta come back and work here.
- No, I'm handing the project over to Ben.
He is the second smartest guy you've got.
- That's funny.
- What are you gonna do?
- Well, I might come if you get your healthcare sorted out,
but until then, I'm gonna take a little break,
and spend some time with my son.
- It's unusual for someone your age
to clear out their 401.
- Well, I'm unusual, and so is my son.
And I wanna take a couple of months off
without losing my house.
- Are you sure you don't wanna keep
a couple long-term positions?
This is rather a large amount to take in cash.
- I don't know if I'd call it large,
but if my paycheck contributions haven't added up
to at least 20k, I'm calling the cops.
- Mr. Wilson, you have over $400,000 in your account.
- What?
- I admit, some of the stock picks
were rather risky, but they did pay off quite well.
- Uh, I haven't made any stock picks.
- Well, I assume that these are your order sheets.
We've been receiving the faxes.
This is your verified signature on them.
- Autograph, please.
- Of course, if you'd like
to question the funds in your account.
- Check, please.
- Yes, sir.
- Mac and cheese!
- Mm, it's good.
- She's pretty, daddy.
- She's very pretty, po.
- You boys are too sweet.
Oh, I was going to give you something.
I know that it's not your birthday yet,
but I want you to open it.
- What did you do?
- You'll see.
- Wow, wow, wow!
What is it?
- Billy idol tickets?
- Billy idol, Billy idol, Billy idol,
Billy idol, Billy idol!
Hi, mom.
I have something for you.
