The story so far
Everything you need before watchingHarry is late for the trip upstate. Cookie and Richard wait while he argues about a call he swears he made. The honor is the school that once expelled him. He wants son Hilly there; short of kidnapping, the boy will not come. Then he grabs the kid from the schoolyard. On the road: a Ferris wheel, a joint, and a flashback with Jane—no child, Lucy's toes, a nuclear meltdown. Watch an honor day become a kidnapping.
