Please? Please?

Don't beg. You look like a dog.

You know he has friends

in the police department...

...and you're depriving him of his rights

as a father, nonsense like that.

It's leading up to a big custody hearing.

What are you saying?

Talk to him. Calm him down.

Call him before he does something stupid.

It might help if he talked to Gracie...

...for her sake, too.

It's not healthy to be without a father.

We better keep this short. I'll call you next week.

Wait. I want to speak to Gracie-

Hi, Daddy. We're having a great vacation.

Where?

We've been everywhere. Chicago and-

No questions, okay? Or it ends now.

Listen, b*tch. She's my daughter, too.

Don't tell me how I can talk to her.

Put me back on the phone with Gracie.

Give her the damn phone.

Tell Daddy that you love him and say goodbye.

Gracie, you there, honey? Sweetheart, talk to me.

'Bye, Daddy.

Honey, I'm sorry, baby.

Daddy didn't mean to use bad words.

- I'm really, really sad.

- Graciel

I'm sorry, kid. It was my mistake.

Mommy's just a big dummy.

What do you think?

- Her voice?

- Yeah, she sounds the same.

Good. 'Cause if she's changed her appearance-

Thanks, John.

I remember her. I told you.

The diner. The scam.

I don't remember why you broke the rules

and decided to marry the b*tch.

She's not a b*tch.

Sorry.

She is a waitress.

- What does that mean?

- Means she's stupid.

- Call your mother. Now to call you.

- She's not stupid.

She thinks if the calls are short

they can't be traced.

I still want to know.

With all the girls that we pulled that on, why her?

Maybe it's love.

Yeah.

I know what that means.

If you were smart, you'd forget her.

I can't simply forget her. She kidnapped my kid.

How many times do I have to go there?

It's not kidnapping.

Kidnapping is when someone

who isn't the mother takes the kid.

When the mother takes the kid,

it's called parenting.

How soon can you get there?

I don't know.

You know, I could lose my job for this.

Robbie...

...you could lose your job for all the jobs

you're doing besides doing your job.

- You know what I mean?

- You got to be reasonable.

- I know some guys in Detroit.

- Like your guys in Seattle?

I don't think so. I know what they're like.

They've never met her, never heard her voice.

She'll spot them and run

before they even see her.

It's you, Robbie.

It's you...

...or it's you.

What do you think? Is it okay?

It's okay, right?

No, it's not. It's horrible.

It's not horrible, Mom.

Yeah, but it's not good, is it?

Mom, you tasted it.

You know what I think?

No, what's that?

I think you miss Daddy.

Daddy yells at me, toots.

Well, you miss somebody.

There he is.

Joe! Joe!

- Joe!

- Joe!

Joe! Joe, over here!

Hey! How are you?

You're lucky I like you.

This is the most preposterous trip I've ever taken.

Change your plane. Rent a car.

Let's do it.

You guys hungry as I am?

- Seems like she's doing great.

- Yeah.

How about you? You okay?

Cut off from everybody,

can't talk to your friends...

Gracie is safe.

So Mitch is...

- When is this custody thing?

- Couple of months.

Anyway, they favor the mother, so...

Yeah, they do.

But he has a lot of money, and a lot of lawyers.

That's kind of what I mean.

I mean, you can't run forever, Slim.

Why not? I'm good at it.

You are. But, then again,

you're good at everything.

Wait, I'm confused.

Are you criticizing me or flirting with me?

Let me get back to you on that.

- Hi, Gracie. Is that your ball?

- Yes.

You want to see a trick?

Yeah.

I don't hear the basketball. Do you?

She was just...

Gracie!

Gracie!

Gracie! I mean, Queen!

Mommy! Mommy! Watch my new trick!

Didn't I tell you to stay close?

Come on.

Do you remember the house rules?

Who can forget, with Gracie here?

Joe.

- What would have happened if we-

- Don't.

It's wrong to think like that.

- Why?

- Because of Gracie.

She's truly a great kid.

Any path that doesn't include her

doesn't make any sense.

Ginny told me about that weekend.

Of your wedding?

Did she tell you how terrible I was?

Joe, that might work with other people,

but you forget. I've had you.

I didn't forget.

And I'm telling you from experience...

...you're not that bad.

- Do you have to go tomorrow?

- Yeah.

Why? Why can't you quit your job

and come here...

...and play the horses,

and become independently wealthy?

Please, kiss me, Slim.

I know we're not supposed to,

and it's against house rules.

But for me to come all this way

and feel the way I do-

You're a great person, Slim.

You're a great person. Just like your daughter.

Can I get a chocolate kiss?

- Who wants to put two eggs in.

- I want to put the eggs.

Careful.

I want you back.

No.

- It could be just like it was.

- No!

That's pretty stupid. You know why?

Because if I can't have you, nobody will.

Like that jerk who was here with you.

He'll be fishing for his guts.

You know what else?

For murder, they need a body.

Otherwise, they'll think you ran away again.

Only this time, you'll never come back.

Mommy!

Daddy, no!

Stop, Daddy! Stop it!

Mommy!

Stop, Daddy! Stop!

Go on, honey. Get in your seat.

Get in the back. Strap yourself in.

Put that on.

Mommy, what's happening?

Put it on. Put these on, too.

You.

Car seat, honey.

- Then slow so I can.

- I can't slow down right now.

B*tch!

Pull over.

Pull the car over!

Mommy, stop it!

Hold on tight.

Pull over.

Sh*t!

Come on.

- Mommy!

- Hold on, Gracie, okay.

Mommy!

Come on!

It will be over soon. We're almost there!

Just hold on, okay?

You'll be all right, okay? All right.

Okay, toots.

Let's talk.

You want me to tell you what happened?

Fair enough.

First thing...

...Erin is over.

I liked Erin.

And you are not the Queen of England anymore.

Okay?

I'm hungry.

- Is everything okay here?

- Yeah, thanks.

Hey there, little cutie. What's your name?

I don't know.

Hey, Millie, 14 needs menus.

Come on.

You'll be okay? You're going to sit here,

be Mommy's good girl? Okay?

All right. Don't talk to any strangers.

Be right back.

- Is Mr. Toller with someone?

- No, but-

Good. I'm not a crazy person. I swear.

- Wait a minute. You can't-

- Don't call security.

Hi, Mr. Toller. My name is Erin...

I mean, my name is Slim.

I got your name from Millie.

Down at the diner, right down the block.

The thing is...

My husband keeps trying to kill me.

You know? See?

I need someone to talk to who is smart.

And I have money, you know.

I have money. $500.

And you can have it. You can have it all...

...if you just listen to what...

Two minutes.

Please.

Thanks.

Small person. Can you watch her? Thank you.

Pardon my French, dear, but...

...I hope you got some pleasure from it

because you've really screwed yourself.

You had two chances to go to the police,

file a complaint...

...put his violence on record.

You ignored them both.

Which tells him to keep on coming

until he kills you.

As for Gracie,

you're going to the custody hearing?
