I must've... I must've dozed off or something.
I apologize. Watch your head. Watch your... I'm sorry.
Ready, one, two, let's go.
You're gonna be fine.
Just relax.
Hi guys. My name's Craig. I'm an alcoholic.
Hi Craig.
Today is my five-year anniversary.
That's five years of sobriety.
Um, you know, I know a few of you
are just getting started with this thing.
I just wanted you to know it does get easier.
It never ends.
Lord knows it never ends.
But if you stick with it, it does get easier.
And believe me,
if I can do it, then so can you.
That's all I wanted to say.
Thank you, Craig. And congratulations again.
On that note, I think
there's someone else here who has an anniversary
that they need to celebrate today. Am I right?
Sarah?
Oh, um... hi.
I'm Sarah. And I'm an alcoholic.
Hi Sarah.
This isn't... it's not really
as big a deal as Craig's.
It's just I'm three months today.
Sarah, is there anything else you'd like to say?
No, that's all.
No? Okay, well,
unless anyone else has anything they'd like to share,
I guess we're done here.
Okay.
Lord,
grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things that I can
and the wisdom to know the difference,
living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships
as a pathway to peace.
Amen.
Thank you.
Shit.
- Hey Sarah. - Hi.
- Hey. - Kevin.
- Yeah, Kevin. - Kev...
That's right.
I just wanted to come say congratulations.
It's a really big deal. You should be proud of yourself.
- Thank you. - Yeah, you're welcome.
Um, and I was thinking maybe
if you wanted to go celebrate
it would be my treat.
I could take you out or...
Uh, not tonight.
That's all right.
You've got plans.
On the couch... a movie.
Fair enough.
All right, get home safe.
Thanks.
- Yeah, I'll see you next time. - Okay.
All right, congratulations. Lt's really cool.
Thank you.
Uh, I could... I could do,
like, Thursday lunch.
Do you like ltalian food?
Yeah.
All right, there's a great place
right across the street from my office.
Let's do that. Lt's called D'Amato's.
Okay, see you then.
Good. Okay, drive safe.
Stay warm.
You know the drill.
Run your hands through your hair
and your beard.
Open your mouth. Your tongue... move it around.
Show me your armpits.
Lift your nutsack.
And your dick.
Turn around.
All right, get dressed.
Hey. Am I late?
No, I got here early. Lt's fine.
Well, you look great.
- Thank you. - Yeah, you're welcome.
It's nice to see you outside of group.
Yeah. You too.
I like that sweater.
Thanks. I just...
It goes really well with your hair.
I just bought this actually.
- Good evening. - Hello.
Would you like to make a drink order while you look at the menu?
No? I'll have a Coke, please.
Okay. And for you, ma'am?
I'm fine with water. Thank you.
- Okay, I'll be right back with that. - Thanks.
Still a weird question, huh?
"Would you like a drink?"
Yes, I would.
I mean, it doesn't really help
that there's wine bottles surrounding us.
I know. I didn't realize...
until I walked in.
Do you want to go somewhere else? Lt's not too late.
No, I'm... no, don't worry about me.
Okay, are you sure? I mean, there's a lot of good places
even just right on this street.
No, it's... no. I was... I was kind of joking.
Um, garçon, have these removed, please.
Or just put blankets over them. That's...
Can we put some nice French posters around the wall,
something like that?
Yeah, I just used to order a beer, you know?
I would just say, "Oh, I'm not gonna drink it.
I'll just order it and I'll feel like an adult.
"It can just sit there."
Such a bad idea.
It's a terrible idea. Lt never works.
I'm sure that...
that it took about five minutes before you downed it.
Yeah, that sounds right.
- Do you know what you want? - I have no idea.
Mm. Well,
it's all pretty good.
- Hey, how's it going? - Good, man. How are you?
Good.
That'll be $30 even.
All right.
What's the deal with the showers?
It's five bucks for 30 minutes.
I'll take an hour.
All right. Can I get you a bag for these?
No no, I'm fine.
Let's get you in stall 7, right upstairs.
All right.
Do you need, like, soap or shampoo?
I've got it in the bag. Thanks.
It's through here? Up?
- Yeah, it's just up the stairs. - Thanks.
Okay, I'm just gonna put this around your neck, all right?
Lift your head for me.
So how was yesterday?
You feel all right?
You mean my date? Ls that what you're asking me?
Yes, I mean your date.
He's great.
I mean, it was really... it was really...
really surface level, so...
Well, this might be
a good distraction right now, you know?
You know, he's really nice.
I just don't feel like I'm ready for...
something like that.
Well, give it time. Don't, you know...
don't write it off yet.
Are you scared?
A little, yeah.
I'm probably just being paranoid though.
I don't know. I think that's pretty natural.
Home sales here in the Midwest...
numbers show a huge drop in overall sales from December.
Sales fell 37% in January,
but they were still up 4% in 2009 as compared to 2008.
Recapping our top story this evening,
the manhunt continues tonight for Garrick Turrell,
who remains at large after escaping from police custody.
The search, which is now in its fifth day,
has law enforcement agencies across the country coordinating their efforts.
Prison warden Clarkton Smith, whose facility housed Turrell,
issued a statement to the press this afternoon
addressing the difficulty in locating the notorious serial killer
who may have been taken in and housed by his purported fans.
Yes, that is correct.
Garrick Turrell during his time in custody here did receive more letters
than any previous resident we've had incarcerated,
and by a considerable number.
And yes, that apparently includes several marriage proposals.
This is me right here.
- It's a cool place. - Thank you.
Got the whole thing to yourself or do you have roommates?
It's just me.
That's pretty nice.
- I had a really good time. - Me too.
Yeah, it was fun.
Oh, we're fogging up the windows.
See you soon?
Yeah. Yeah, let's...
Maybe this weekend? I don't...
- Yeah. Yeah, I think so. - All right, sure.
Let me call you tomorrow just to make sure.
- No pressure. All right, good. - Okay. Okay.
- I'll see you sometime. - Yeah, talk to you tomorrow.
- Okay. - Bye.
Exactly as I dreamed it.
Or did I?
Maybe this is the dream.
It's pretty weird.
Have you had enough?
If you're tired, we can go back.
No.
We go on this way.
No.
I'm mad at you.
- I missed you. - No.
- I did. - You didn't.
Where were you?
I told you.
I had that dinner meeting
with Mark and TK
to talk about their college bankroll stuff and...
Yeah, and then where did you go? 'Cause it's like 11:00.
Where? We were there late.
Oh, but wait. No, we went to the strip club first.
That's not... that's not funny at all.
- It's a little funny. - I don't like it.
- I like you. - I don't like those jokes.
They're jokes.
Here.
- I love you. - I love you.
Fuck.
Related to the escape
of the alleged serial killer Garrick Turrell.
A FBI spokesman would only say
that certain details of the murder, which they were unable to disclose,
linked the killings with patterns established
in Turrell's alleged slayings, all of which took place
in Alabama and Mississippi over the past five years.
The disturbing news for law enforcement is that the search for Turrell
has not yet spread as far north as Kansas,
indicating that the escaped suspect
may have somehow evaded police checkpoints.
The FBI states that the search for Turrell,
now in its seventh day,
is being expanded to include the entire Midwest,
with local agencies coordinating their efforts.
Detailed images of Turrell are being circulated to checkpoints
along the Mexican and Canadian borders.
The first time I drank
I think I was eight years old,
but I don't really remember.
The first time I got drunk I was nine.
I do remember that.
But, I don't know,
the weird thing now is that
I've been sober for almost a year
and now my friends are
all on the drinking thing
and are going to parties around town.
And they don't understand why I don't want to go with them.
And, I don't know, sometimes
I almost feel robbed of something,
you know, of some experience
that I should have had or should have enjoyed.
But, I don't know,
I guess it doesn't really matter.
So that's it.
Sarah, I was just wondering if you wanted to tell us
what made you decide to finally confront your illness.
Uh...
I was...
in a pretty bad relationship.
He was...
not very honest with me about a lot of things.
After I...
found out that...
well, that... that...
after I found out...
I realized...
that I had been...
drinking a lot,
that maybe
it wouldn't have happened...
no, I'm... not that it...
nothing...
that maybe it wouldn't have been as bad
if I hadn't been drunk
all the time.
So I... after I moved here
I...
uh, started coming to meetings.
And it's been really good for me.
- Hey. - Hey.
- How are you feeling? - Er...
That was really great.
What?
Just everything you said in group was really...
was really vulnerable and great.
It's really good that you could do that.
I think everybody appreciated it.
Yeah, there's a lot more to that story
that I should...
- Yeah, I'm sure. - Yeah.
There's a lot more to my story too and everybody else's,
but I think you said what you had to say
and, um...
I should probably tell you about it though.
I mean, I should...
it's pretty...
bad.
Good. Someday you can tell me about it, okay?
Not right now.
I really like you. I really...
I like hanging out with you.
And I want to hear that story
and all your other stories, you know?
But I don't want you to feel like you have to tell them to me.
Anyway, whatever. I should get going.
But I'll see you on Wednesday, right?
Do you want to come over right now?
Come over to your place?
Yeah.
Yeah, we c... yeah.
Yeah.
We'll have tea or something.
If you think it's a good idea.
I mean, tea sounds great.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
All right, well, I'll meet you over there, okay?
All right. See you soon.
No! No! No!
It's okay?
Do you have a condom?
I think I have one in the nightstand.
You want me to get it?
Do you want me to put it on?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Are you sure it's okay?
Yeah.
Hold on. Hold on.
Oh shit. Hold on.
Oh shit.
No. No.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
Fuck.
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
It's okay.
When we get up to him,
he's probably gonna ask you for your driver's license.
Just give it to him. Lt's not a big deal.
- How are you folks doing today? - Good. How are you?
- Good. Sorry for the inconvenience. - Lt's no problem.
- Where are you folks coming from today? - Coming from the airport actually.
- Okay. Where are you flying in from? - I'm flying from Atlanta today.
- Okay. And what's your business here? - Oh, well, this is my niece actually.
It's my sister's daughter.
And we're doing a surprise birthday party for her.
- Oh, very good. Very good. - Yeah.
How old is your sister?
Promise not to tell anybody. She's turning 40 today actually.
- 40 years old? - Yeah.
Good.
Well, if you sit tight for just a moment,
I'll be right with you guys, okay?
- Okay, thank you. No problem. - Thank you.
You're doing good. He's just gonna run the plates now.
He's gonna make sure that everything's cool.
You know, I think this is not easy,
but you're doing really good. You're getting through it.
You'll get through it fine.
You're almost done.
Folks, I appreciate your cooperation.
- Sorry for any inconvenience. - No problem.
- You're free to go. - All right.
- Thank you. - Tell your sister happy birthday.
Will do. Thank you very much.
- Good day. - Bye.
Take care.
Keep driving.
When you get up here at the fork in the road, take a left.
Here you go.
Thanks.
You said you just needed me to get through the roadblock
and then you would let me go.
I know. I will.
Yeah, left here.
Where are we going?
I'm still trying to figure that out.
My family was expecting me at home a half-hour ago.
If I leave you here,
the cops will be on me
before I can ditch this car and find another one.
It's fine. There's nothing to worry about.
I just want to get up the road a little bit further before I let you go.
I won't talk to the cops.
I just want to see my family again.
You said you weren't gonna hurt me.
You said that you were gonna let me go. Please just...
What the fuck is wrong with you? I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm just trying to think. I just want to get up the road a little ways.
I'll drop you off, okay? Take it easy.
Here, just... in fact, pull off up here.
Yeah, here. Pull off.
Put the car in park. Park it.
