Listen "He Was only Twelve"
Episode Synopsis
Christina returns to the show to tackle this controversial and “skipworthy” for many episodes. Personally, I liked it and I hope you enjoy this discussion!
“In the intertwined stories set in Sleepy Eye, James and Albert stumble into a bank robbery orchestrated by a ruthless gang. During the heist, James is critically wounded, leaving him in a coma. Initially, the doctor informs Charles, James’ father, that his son is unlikely to survive, prompting a grief-stricken Charles to team up with Mr. Edwards—and later Albert, who defies orders to stay behind—to hunt down the culprits. As weeks pass with James still comatose, Charles refuses to accept his son’s fate, growing increasingly abusive toward his family and friends under the strain. Overwhelmed by their pleas to let James go peacefully, Charles flees with his adopted son, Albert, into the woods. There, in a desperate act of faith, he constructs an altar and beseeches God for a miracle to save James.“
He Was only Twelve Parts 1 & 2 originally aired on May 3 & 10, 1982
The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
