July 1970. Brady Conroy (Josh Hartnett) is still getting used to his girlfriend Celeste (Aimee Teegarden) living with him. He tries to explain away the adjustments he has had to make to himself as him not having lived with anyone for a while, but it is clear that Brady is struggling with have Celeste around 24/7. They sit in bed at night, each reading separately. She groans, saying she feels old reading in bed on a Saturday night. Brady asks her what she wants to do about it, and Celeste responds that she wants to go out and have fun. She's a college student after all. They go out to a local bar where they run into a group of college kids who challenge Brady to a series of drinking games. Brady quickly finds out that he can't keep up with them anymore and excuses himself to the restroom where he throws up in the urinal.
In the morning, Brady and Celeste wake up. Celeste has recovered much quicker than Brady, who is suffering from a massive hangover. Celeste is making french toast for breakfast when the phone rings. She answers it, and tells Brady that his mom is on the phone. When Brady answers, his mother Colleen (Frances Conroy) is very interested in who the woman that answered the phone is. Brady explains that it was his girlfriend. Colleen asks several more questions, but Brady changes the subject and asks why she's calling. She tells him that she is simply calling to remind Brady to pick his brother up from prison the next day. Brady had completely forgotten about it and thanks his mother for reminding him. He asks where the prison is, and she tells him it's the Deuel State Prison in San Joaquin. He's relieved that it's not too far of a drive and assures his mother that he'll drive over tomorrow to pick his brother up.
Brady goes to the UC Berkeley campus with Celeste, who is interested in a poetry workshop going on on campus. While on campus, Brady runs into his former boss, Dean Alan Smalling (John C. McGinley). Brady is prepared to keep walking, but Smalling seems excited to see Brady and asks if they can talk. They sit down on a bench and Smalling tells Brady that he read his article on the incident at the Altamont Free Concert and was very impressed with his work. Brady thanks him for the compliment. Smalling tells Brady that it got him thinking that maybe there may be a role on the UC Berkeley faculty for someone like Brady after all. Brady asks if he is serious, and Smalling assures Brady that he is being genuine. Smalling tells Brady that he has a meeting to get to, but asks Brady to consider coming back as a journalism professor for the next school year. Brady tells him that he'll definitely consider it.
When Celeste gets out of her workshop Brady excitedly tells her about his conversation with Dean Smalling and the possibility of coming back to work at the university. Celeste says that she thought that Brady was enjoying writing for Rolling Stone. Brady says he does enjoy it, but that teaching was his life for a decade and that it's simply hard to move on from something like that. She asks him what he's going to do. Brady says that he told Smalling that he'll consider it, so that's just what he'll do.
The next day Brady drives out east to unincorporated San Joaquin County and to the Deuel State Prison. When he pulls up to the gates he tells the guards that he's there to pick up his brother who is set to be released that day. The guards instruct Brady to go ahead and park his car and they'll escort the inmate out of the building. Not too long later, Brady's brother Jimmy (Lou Taylor Pucci) walks out of the penitentiary. He shields the sun with his hand while looking for Brady. Brady honks his horn, and Jimmy hustles over to the car. Brady gets out and gives his brother a hug. Jimmy tosses his things in the backseat of Brady's car and hops in the passenger seat. Brady asks Jimmy what his plans are now that he's back in the free world. Jimmy tells him that he hadn't really thought about it all that much. Brady asks where he's taking him. Jimmy says that he assumed he would be staying with Brady until he gets back on his feet.
