The Inside Story: A Father’s Sudden Change of Heart

Alan learns from Phillip that the cafe they are at is owned by the widow of the man who took Alan’s place in Vietnam. Upon hearing this information, a stunned Alan runs out of the cafe, needing time to absorb it all in. When Phillip finds him, he tells his father he believes now that they are there, he can tell the truth and ask for forgiveness. Alan, however, admits that he’s scared to go back and face the past. Eventually he relents and goes back to introduce himself to Charlie. Alone, Phillip calls Ed and leaves a message to call back regarding the blood work.. Meanwhile, Alan, who is alone, sees that Ed is trying to contact Phillip and answers the call. Pretending to be his son, Alan learns from Ed that the results of the test aren’t good, which means the experiemental treatment may not work. Ed insists that he needs to tell his loved ones that he is dying. Once Phillip returns Alan begins to see his son in a different light. Alan admits that he took Ed’s phone call and he knows everything. When Phillip explains further regarding the disease, Alan suddenly grows suspicious and accuses his son of lying. He points out that Phillip doesn’t get to call the shots in fixing everyone only to die later. Leaving Phillip alone, Alan runs into Charlie, who kindly thanks him for telling him about his father.
