Episode Three III

Robert leaves the house and is drinking heavily. The next morning, he wakes up in his car and realizes he cannot drive to work, so he takes the bus. Instead of going to work, he goes to a cafe and starts reading the book.

Flashback. Stephen is cooking and the grill as Nancy reads the paper. Someone rings the doorbell, and the police are at the door. He calls Nancy into the house. The police are there to let them know that Jonathan has died, and they will need to come identify the body. Stephen and Nancy make the trip to Italy and are taking to the morgue to identify the body. This is a very emotional scene. I could not image having to go to the morgue and identify my child. That would break my heart; and I’m sure they are feeling the same way. From there Stephen and Nancy go to hotel where Jonathan was staying to gather his things. Later, Nancy wants to go to the place where Jonathan died; and to get more details about the accident.
