him know nothing about it,

So then, no need not be any claim

proceedings. Am I clear enough?

I don't know.

Why didn't you say anything?

What?

How what?

That you're unhappy..

that you miss your mother,

that you're alone,

I don't know what else.

We can not be in your place.

So?

So what?

You're so far away.

I love you so much.

You must believe me.

I'm inept, but.. I love you.

Will you take me with you,

when you leave Anas?

What?!

Will you take me with you?

What kind of nonsense is that?

Why should I leave Anas?

I've got another four

years till I'm an adult.

I'm not going into care.

What kind of thing you're saying?

Why should you go into care?

OK.

What do you mean by OK?

Are you out of your mind?

I love yo.

Nobody wants to put you in care.

How can you even think of such an idea?!

Will you take me with you,

when you leave Anas?

I'm not taking you anywhere with me,

because I'm not leaving Anas. OK?

Can we get back to talking sensibly?

I heard what you said on the phone..

On the beach.

And I read everything..

What?

And I read your e-mails.

What e-mails.?

Dad! Please.

Stop playing this comedy.

I know you don't love anyone.

You didn't love mum,

you don't love Anas, you don't..

You don't love this Claire,

and you don't love me either.

No problem about that.

I just don't want to go into care. .

Why did you take mum's tablets?

There were still enough left over.

- What about the rest? You hid them?

- Yes!

Clair:

Few drops of your scent drive me crazy,

make me alive again.

My God Thomas! I'm not myself any more.

you mustn't leave alone me that long

Come fill my mouth, c*nt & ass with cum.

I beg you to call so I bathe in your voice.

But what can we say to each other on phones

Maybe I'd be speechless like the other day.

It'll take hours & hours, one inside

the body and others inside the soul.

to repair the damages of this separation.

Thomas:

Poor darling, you can't imagine what this

separation means for me. I count the days.

Ten times a day I look at your photo on my

mobile, your wonderful body,

makes me crazy with desire.

Something stupid happened.

My daughter looked around on my computer,

& discovered our e-mails.

She tried to take her own life.

Thank God without success.

I had to delete all our e-mails, and..

from now on I can't keep anything any more

I don't know what else

she might think of doing.

We need to agree times when we can..

Dad says you want to speak to me?

No.

I don't actually.

Would you like some cheese?

No. Thank you.

It's not bad.

I dont like cheese.

Well then..

You need to decide. In or out?

Or do you want to keep

standing in the doorway?

Now close the door, princess,

and sit down by me.

Are you scared?

No.

Then come here.

Now come on.

Right.

Your father was fibbing.

I don't want to talk to you

He asked me to do.

He thinks you don't trust him and

he's worried.

Why did you try to kill yourself?

I'll tell you something.

You can stay on your feet, or you can

sit down. It's entirely up to you.

You didn't know your grandmother.

You were here once, when you were small.

You won't remember it.

Or do you?

Wait.

Come here.

Come.

Look at this.

She was a beautiful lady.

Don't you think?

When you were here, she was already ill.

You didn't see her at all.

She was lying crippled in her bed..

and couldn't speak any more.

I took care of her.

I gave the business to your aunt

so I'd have the time for her.

In the end, after three years of suffering.

horribly.

pointlessly.

I suffocated her.

It was the right thing to do.

I've never regretted it for one moment.

That's the whole story

I wanted to tell you.

Will you tell me your story?

What story?

Why did you take the tablets?

Do you think I'm too dumb to understand?

Sit down, then.

I tried to poison one

of my schoolmates once.

And?

Finally..

not exactly poison her.

Mum put me in a holiday camp,

when dad disappeared.

They gave me Lexomil to keep me quiet.

I was supposed to take two tablets a day.

I didn't want any tablets

There was a girl there I didn't like

Everyday I mixed my tablets into her meals.

It was funny to see how she

got quieter and quieter.

One day, she collapsed.

They examined her,

and that's how they found out.

And? What happened?

Nothing. I had to leave the camp.

And came home?

Yes.

And after that?

Were you sorry?

Not very.

Yes.

Yes, I was sorry.

Too late.

The girl wasn't nice,

but it wasn't her fault.

The other day,

I was looking into the garden here,

and I saw by chance..

How a bird of prey..

ripped a little bird to pieces.

It caught it in flight, shook it..

It shook it immediately..

And then,

tore it to shreds on earth with its beak.

Really tore it to shreds.

The feathers were flying about and landed.

It looked as if snow had fallen.

Then a car drove past and

the bird of prey flew off.

Apart from the feathers, there was

hardly anything left of the victim.

At least that's how it looked from here.

Ironically, if you see something like that

on TV, you feel it's normal.

That's how nature goes.

But seeing it in reality,

will make your hands tremble.

Why did you do it?

What?

The tablets.

I don't know.

I don't know.

And here? Does that hurt?

He only nipped her.

How can you say that?

He bit her!

She ran away and cried!

She was playing. She called him..

So he followed her and nipped her.

It's not as bad as all that.

You should have watched out better.

Is it bad?

No, no, It's fine. It's fine.

You're a very brave girl

So.. Don't worry.

I will give your mum an ointment,

She'll put some on it for you, and tomorrow

you won't feel anything any more. OK?

Well, it is not bad, but..

You need to keep a closer eye on the dog.

After all, we don't have him to bite us.

Do you have a paper?

I'll write her a prescription.

- Well, how is she?

- She is OK. It was more like a shock.

- Here, that's for you.

- Thank you.

Let's take a look.

Well, that doesn't look so bad after all,

does it?

Well, look here

Every time it hurts a bit,

you can have a chocolate,

and then you won't be ill at all.

OK?

Now, have a good sleep.

Its late already.

And tomorrow's another lovely day.

Hmm?

Thank you.

Luckily, it is not bad.

I was beside myself when Anas called me.

Yes, it was terrible.

She cried so much.

Rachid, you must the go under

better control. Otherwise we'll get..

I've told him already!

here is a cream. Apply it gently at the

morning, so it doesn't get more inflamed.

OK?

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Will she possible get sepsis?

No risk of that.

Do not worry about this either.

- All congrats, Madame, if I may say so.

- For what?

Madame Anas told me, for sure.

But what did she told you?

It's gonna be alright.

You mean the engagement!

Yes. That's kind of you, thank you.

- Isn't it, Selin?

- Are you finished?

Yes. Well..

Twice a day, morning and evening.

I'll drop by again tomorrow.
