i thought

that a disease so strong

could not be defeated.

I hoped time

would change him,

when he realized

we were gonna be a family.

Every time he beat me,

I was able to erase

the pain,

but not that night.

Not the night

when he killed the life

that was growing

inside of me.

No one regrets the death

of that man.

And I don't regret taking

the steps that I took

to make it happen.

I'm here for you.

I'm here.

Trust me.

How's your head?

It hurts like hell.

Those dreams that I had,

I feel better.

Well, I gave you

some methadone

to help you sleep.

That's why you feel better.

And you don't have any

abstinence symptoms anymore

for a couple of days.

You know

you don't have

to feel ashamed.

What you did was a very

positive thing.

Trying to kill myself

could be a positive thing?

Jesus, you're worse

than I am.

You tried

to kill yourself.

And your body reacted

and made a choice.

Today

you could be dead.

Now, how does

that make you feel?

Right now it makes me feel

like I have a headache.

Everything that you

ever cared about

won't mean anything

any more.

It's a very

special day for you.

The only special day

i have is...

I get my hands

on that son of a b*tch.

You just wanna

kill that man.

-Is that it?

-Yeah.

Of course I want

to kill him.

Daniel.

You don't have to pretend

with me anymore.

I know who you are.

What?

I've watched

all your home videos.

Weeks and weeks to invent

any kind of excuse

to not pull

the trigger.

It's because i--

i need help, isn't it?

That's right, yeah.

I know, because being

in that state of mind

is a very

comfortable place.

You're wrong.

Is killing

the man next door

really your only

purpose in life?

Because I want you

to recover.

But if you need this

to happen,

you can't postpone

anymore.

Today you'll decide.

Hello.

Veronica?

I'm just leaving now.

Don't tell me

he's cancelled.

Oh, no, no, no,

I'm just calling to

confirm the meeting.

I'm honestly, I'm actually

already here waiting for you.

And bring your daughter.

The focus group

is about to start

and the girls will be

very happy to meet her.

Oh, good. Neil will

be so excited.

Do you really think

there's room for another

counselor?

It's been so long

since I've practiced.

No, that's exactly

why I want to meet you--

before, and we'll discuss

everything in detail.

Don't worry, okay?

So see you in a bit.

So, you're all set.

Do what you have to do.

"The patient exhibits

homicidal tendencies.

Daniel's rehabilitation

can't be fully effective...

He needs to kill

his neighbor."

Oh, my god.

No, no.

No, no!

-It's very nice here.

-Yeah, it's beautiful.

Mommy, can we bring

Angelica next time?

Well, of course, love.

Who's Angelica?

Oh, Angelica's

her sister.

I would have brought her,

but she just got back

from school camp,

and she was so tired.

Is everything okay?
