Shane: Jim, some water?

Jim: Alright.

Shane: Yeah? Alright.

He scoops out some of the water with a mug.

Shane: Here you go, bud.

He brings the mug to Jim's mouth and Jim drinks it. He stops.

Jim: And pour some on my head?

Shane: Yeah.

He scoops in some more water and he pours it on Jim's head.

Morales and Louis walk up and they grab some rocks. They walk off.

Shane: Coolin' you down, huh? He says as the last bit of water gets to Jim's head.

Jim: Yeah.

It's a little quiet between them. Jim looks at Shane.

Jim: How long are you gonna keep me like this?

Shane: Well...yeah. 'Til I don't think that you're a danger to yourself. Or others.

He nods once. He looks over at Lori, Carl, Carol, and Sophia, who're coloring together.

Jim: Sorry if I scared your boy and your little girl.

Lori: ...You had sunstroke. Nobody's blamin' you.

Jim: You're not scared now, are you?

Sophia: No, sir.

Jim nods once again. He looks at Carl, who looks up at him for a second, but goes back to coloring.

Jim: ...Your mama's right. Sun just cooked my head is all.

Dale: Jim, do you know WHY you were digging?

Jim starts thinking.

Dale: Can you say?

Jim: I had a reason. Don't remember.

Dale nods.

Jim: Somethin' I dreamt. Last night.

He nods again.

Jim looks at Carl.

Jim: Your dad was in it. You were too. You were worried about him. He says as Shane stands up. Can't remember the rest... You worried about your dad?

Carl: They're not back yet.

Lori: We don't need to talk about that. She says, putting her hand on Carl's back.

Jim: Your dad's a police officer, son. He helps people. Prolly just came across some folks needin' help, that's all. That man, he's tough as nails. I don't know him well, but...I could see it in him.

He looks up at Shane.

Jim: Am I right?

Shane: Oh, yeah.

Jim looks back at Carl.

Jim: ...There ain't nothin' gonna stop him from gettin' back here to you and your mom, I promise you that.

They take that into mind. They go back to what they were doing. Shane picks up the bucket.

Shane: Alright.

He starts walking off. He looks at the kids.

Shane: Who wants to help me clean some fish, huh?

Carl: Sweet! C'mon, Sophia!

They stand up and they start following Shane.

Lori: Stay with Carol, alright?

Carol stands up and starts following them.
