Hello?

Martha.

Martha. It's Martha.

Hello?

Hi, honey. Did the plumber come yet?

Did he ever.

I don't really want to know about it.

Hey, guess what I'm looking at.

- You got it?

- Yeah, I got it right here.

Or I should say, I got her.

What's she like?

She's cute. She looks like a rabbit.

She's white, she's got long ears,

little pink eyes.

- Soft.

- She sounds cute.

Ellen doesn't know about it?

No. She doesn't think

she's gonna get one.

See what happens

if you work here too long?

- Isn't it cute?

- Thank you.

I forgot. This arrived for you.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Hey, Joaquin!

Jesus f***ing Christ!

F***ing b*tch! Jesus Christ!

No. I said it was

the electrical system.

The whole goddamn thing blew up.

All right, honey.

I'll see you in a little while.

Mr Gallagher?

- You forgot your contract.

- Thanks.

Hello, Dan. Are you surprised?

This is what you've reduced me to.

I guess you thought you'd get away

with it. Well, you can't.

Because part of you is growing

inside of me, and that's a fact.

You'd better start

learning how to deal with it.

Because, you know, I feel you.

I taste you.

I think you.

I touch you.

Can you understand? Can you?

I'm just asking you to acknowledge

your responsibilities.

I mean, is that so bad?

I don't think so.

I don't think it's unreasonable.

And you know, another thing is,

that you thought that you could

just walk into my life

and turn it upside down, without

a thought for anyone but yourself.

You know what you are?

You're a cock-sucking son of a b*tch.

I hate you. I bet

you don't even like girls, do you?

You flaming f***ing f*ggot!

Daddy! Thank you.

You're welcome, honey. You like her?

You like it?

You thought you could just walk

into my life and turn it upside down

without a thought

for anyone but yourself.

You know what you are?

You're a cock-sucking son of a b*tch.

You are. I bet

you don't even like girls, do you?

They probably scare you.

I know I do.

You're scared of me, aren't you?

You're f***ing frightened of me.

You're afraid.

You gutless, heartless, spineless

f***ing son of a b*tch.

I hate you.

You deserve everything you get.

- Jesus Christ!

- Sorry.

I was wondering why you were

up so late. I'm sorry.

It's OK. I was listening

to a deposition.

I couldn't sleep.

Come on.

I'm gonna give you a back rub.

- Back rub?

- Brandy, a back rub.

- You won't know what hit you.

- Sounds good.

My client wants it stopped.

He wants an end to the harassment.

He's positive it was this woman

who trashed the car?

Yes, of course.

- Any witnesses?

- No.

He can file a complaint

if it'd make him feel better.

There's not a lot we can do

without proof.

This woman is completely irrational.

There's no telling what she could do.

We can't arrest people

for what they might do.

I'm not asking you to arrest her.

I... He simply...

He wants her warned.

We could talk to her.

It may make things public.

He's not gonna like that.

It may even aggravate the situation.

How's that?

Whatever resentment she's feeling,

she's probably got it

out of her system.

Any action we take could provoke her.

What if she

didn't get it out of her system?

Catch her in the act.

Then we can bring charges.

He just has to sit there and take it?

It's his bed. I'm afraid

he's gonna have to lie in it.

Come on, come on.

Come on, Ellen,

we're going to Grandma's.

Come on, Quincy. Come on, hurry up.

Come on, get on in. Hurry up.

Watch his tail, sweetie.

Make him sit down.

- You didn't get your car back?

- No, it's a write-off.

- The electrical system's shot.

- Extraordinary, those foreign cars.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

- Want to try again, sweetie?

- OK.

OK.

So?

Dear Priscilla, Miles asked me

to ask you to marry him.

Very good.

Do it one more time.

Do it with your hat and do the bow,

so that when you do it,

you know what you're doing.

Let me see your bow.

And what do you say?

Dear Priscilla, Miles asked me

to ask you to marry him.

- Very good. You got that.

- Ellen.

Come here.

- That was good.

- Thank you.

That was really good.

That was so good.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

Thank you, darling.

Come on, Quincy.

- Daddy!

- What?

Whitey's gone!

Whitey's gone!

It's all right, darling.

It's going to be OK, sweetie.

You should try and get some sleep.

- Is she OK?

- She's asleep.

Did you call the police?

- Not yet, no.

- Why not?

Honey, we gotta talk.

What is it?

I know who did this.

You do? Who?

Remember the girl

who came to the apartment?

The one I met

in the Japanese restaurant?

The one with the blonde hair.

You're scaring me.

What is it?

Did you have an affair with her?

Yes.

Beth?

Beth, I am so sorry.

The last thing I ever wanted to do

was to hurt you.

Are you in love with her?

No. It was one night.

It didn't mean anything.

What has it got to do

with what's happened?

She's pregnant.

She's...

It's yours?

I don't know. That's what she says.

Listen, Beth, please.

Get off!

I want you out of this house!

How could you do that? I hate you!

- Understand what I'm saying...

- I don't want to hear it!

Please, just listen to me, will you?

What is the matter with you?

Dan, what a pleasant surprise.

It's over. It's finished.

I told Beth. She knows all about it.

Sure. You haven't got the balls.

Why don't you speak to her?

Why would I want to talk to her?

This is Beth Gallagher.

If you come near my family again,

I'll kill you, you understand?

That's the last one, Ellen.

I mean it.

Hello? Hi, Daddy.

When are you coming home?

Honey, I don't know.

How are you doing?

Good.

Grandpa taught me a new card trick.

Did he? The one with the jacks.

No, the one with the kings.

Good.

I won't.

Good.

How's Mommy?

Send her my love.

OK. Goodbye.

Daddy?

Call me tomorrow.

I will. I promise.

You be sure you tell Mommy I called.

I will.

Love you a lot, too. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Mrs Gallagher,

did you forget something?

- I came to get Ellen.

- I thought you'd picked her up.

I'm sure she's left already.

Betty? Is Ellen in here with you?

- She's gone home.

- Sure?

Positive. She's not inside

or in the playground.

- I thought you picked her up.

- Who did pick her up?

She can't have gone far.

- You don't understand.

- I'll check her locker.

- Alicia, where's Ellen?

- She's gone.

Call the police.

Ellen.

Please let her be all right!

Christ.

Where are you?

Look out!

Where are you?

- Bye-bye, Ellen.

- Bye.

Ellen, can I have a kiss?

Bye.

I'm looking for a patient

named Gallagher. I'm her husband.

Room 22 at the end of the corridor.

- Is she gonna be OK?

- Yeah, she'll be fine.

She was very lucky.

It might have been a lot worse.

- Daddy!

- Hi, babes. God, I missed you.

I missed you, honey.

Are you OK?

Have you seen Mommy yet?

Yeah.

Now, you stay here with Granny.

I'll go and see Mommy.

Howard.

You're gonna be OK.

- Want to go to Ziggy's first?

- Hot places.

I tried to explain the situation,
