Clean, Shaven Page #2

Synopsis: Peter Winter is a young schizophrenic who is desperately trying to get his daughter back from her adoptive family. He attempts to function in a world that, for him, is filled with strange voices, electrical noise, disconcerting images, and jarringly sudden emotional shifts. He clings to his humanity like a raft, barely afloat in a sea of terror. In a brief moment of congruence, he shatters his image reflected in a window, perhaps to more properly align it with his fragmented psyche. During his quest, he runs afoul of the law and an ongoing murder investigation.

Do you understand?

[Insects Buzzing]

[Door Opens, Closes]

[Flies Buzzing]

I'm, uh... I'm leaving:

I didn't understand

what you were trying to tell me:

But I understand:

You're right:

It's all up to me:

[Gutting Fish]

I don't have much money:

I can send you what I owe you, all right?

I will:
L-I'll send it:

I mean, is that okay?

It's okay, right?

Ma?

[Flies Buzzing]

Did he say where he was going?

He took his belongings?

Do you really think

he's gone for good?

Did he say anything about Nicole?

- Okay:
See you then:

- [Handset Settles In Cradle]

I found only a slight trace

of blood on her clothing:

This indicates that

she was killed naked: : :

And then redressed

after the blood flow ceased:

The majority of damage was centered

on the upper-left thorax:

A wooden object produced

multiple costal fractures: : :

And a rupture of her left diaphragm:

You can see the extensive splintering:

I also found evidence of traumatic

hemothorax and pulmonary contusions:

Massive internal bleeding

caused her to suffocate:

[Chattering On Radio]

[Radio:
Man]

You gonna do something about that?

Why not?

Well, do something about it:

All you gotta do is get up

and go through me to get him:

There have been reports of a man

on the island following your daughter:

I'd like to place Nicole

under police observation:

No, I don't want that:

The man is Peter Winter,

Nicole's real father:

I know he was staying at the harbor

with his mother, Gladys Winter: : :

But he left her house yesterday:

The girl needs a father:

Would you have dinner

with me tonight?

- I live near the harbor, off...

- I know:

I'm not a cop:

I'm a detective:

[Gladys]

This is when he was a baby:

Just slept in his crib all day:

Could go about our work:

This is right after we moved to Miscou:

He wasn't allowed to have a dog of his own,

so we went down the road to Mr: Miller's:

Played with his dog:

Think his name was Dash:

Spent all day long with that dog:

Dog died:

We said he could have a pet ofhis own,

but he wasn't interested after that:

He finished at

the top five percent of his class:

Then he went to Bathurst

to college the next year:

To study science:

But he dropped out

right at the beginning:

We didn't know:

He didn't want to be with us:

So he ended up on a boat off of Gaspe:

I think he was having difficulties:

[Breathing Erratically]

[Children Giggling]

[Girl Murmurs]

[Boy Chuckling Softly]

[Boy Sobbing]

Here he is when he thought

he'd gained too much weight: : :

Needed to go on a diet:

He lost 20 pounds in under a month,

and he went from looking like this: : :

To looking like this:

Not a healthy look:

Just didn't look like him:

He gained a little of the weight back,

but not enough:

He doesn't look like himself:

My husband made all those pictures:

He was a good man:

He took care of his family:

[McNally] Do you have any idea

where your son might have gone?

He came to see his daughter,

and when she didn't show up, he left:

Why did you put Nicole up for adoption?

Do you know what it's like

to see your son deteriorate?

When he was growing up,

he was a quiet boy, but he was happy:

And then all of a sudden he changed:

I won't have

that same thing happen to her:
