there and I really like it.

They make me want

to have a family.

Maybe one day you'll have it.

I'm thinking about it.

- Excuse me, I'll be right back.

- Ok.

- Dr. Gordon.

- Hello. Thank you.

There's Tom Sykes in there.

Today was supposed

to be his last day.

But I do not know, I have a

strange feeling about the boy.

Today it seems a lot more paranoid...

Without evidence that it is a

danger to himself or others

we can not hold it back.

I KNOW.

But this boy has been mistreated

by his parents for years.

Yes, he has made progress.

But we're talking about a

boy who set fire at home

burning his parents alive.

Dr. Gordon, we have

our hands tied.

All right.

I just wanted to ask.

Good day, doctor.

So, Tom.

This is our last session.

Already.

Tom, do you feel ready

to live on your own?

I'm doing my best.

My best.

Ok, so let's go to Mr.

Patrick at eleven.

We bring the bikes there and

put the stuff in a paper bag.

Then we set fire to the

envelope and ring the bell.

As soon as they open the

mat will catch fire.

Is this the dog poop joke?

Dog poop?

No, it's the joke of dog sh*t.

You are new, are not you?

Yes, we just moved.

Who taught you to interrupt?

- Nobody.

- And why did you do it?

That's why, you have big ears!

Sleep, my love. Do not Cry!

I'll sing you a lullaby.

Bra goes!

Now you sleep.

Do you want a kiss '?

Good night little one.

- I do not like it there.

- Because?

There's a kid named Bernard

who treats me badly.

You're new to that school.

Sometimes it takes

some time to adapt.

Can not go to the old school?

We no longer live in

that neighborhood.

I do not care, I

miss my friends.

I KNOW.

I know how hard the first day

of school is, I remember.

But everything will be fine.

You'll make new friends, you'll see.

Agree?

Good night.

Goodnight Mom.

Sweet dreams.

- I love you.

- Me too.

I love you too.

I love you too.

Goodnight Mom.

Goodnight Mom.

I love you too.

You made me take a shot!

- Excuse me, I heard you enter.

- And you have to get behind me like that?

I did not get behind you.

- What's up '?

- I had a shitty day.

- Why '?

- I was presenting the report

on the Davis project.

I'm coming to the end and

when I'm about to take stock,

I realize that the sheet

containing the total is gone.

- Thing?

- Disappeared!

I was there in front of eleven

people to look like an idiot!

- How could it have happened?

- Good question!

Yesterday evening it

was all on the desk...

before you moved 24 hours.

I have not touched your 24 hours.

The boys were sleeping.

Do you think she moved alone?

I do not know what happened,

but I did not touch it.

Dear,

you had a difficult

day, let's go to bed.

I can not, I have to work.

So I should talk to you about

something before tomorrow morning.

- Thing '?

- The landlord called...

The House!

Julie, please!

We do not talk about the house!

I'm sick of talking about the house!

I'm not even sure

we can afford it!

- Should I go back to work?

- No.

I know you have to be with

children, I'm not saying this.

Calm down, do not scream.

I'm not screaming, damn it!

I do not understand what's happening.

And that's the problem!

- What do you mean?

- Leave it.

If there's a problem, I'd

like to know what it is.

Do you want to know what the problem is?

You only think about this stupid house

and neglect the family.

And I'm fed up!

Did you think that moving was easy?

I'm not talking about moving,

I was there when we did it!

I do not want to hear details

of all the workers I discuss.

- Did not I help you with the move?

- I'm not saying this.

That's enough!

Is not it enough that I

pay for this damn house?

All right!

Not bad!

- Guys! How are you '?

- Good.

- Beautiful house.

- Thank you. Take something.

Michael!

- You're beautiful!

- Thank you.

Julie, did you start

the party without me?

- Phil!

- How are you?

Hello!

So, what is this'?

It must be hung on the wall '?

Rita!

Holly, honey!

New house, new neighbors!

- How are you '?

- Great!

I'm glad I recommended you.

Julie did a great job.

Thank you.

You seem destroyed.

What happens?

I think I'll see her again.

Are you kidding?

I thought it was just an escapade.

- I KNOW.

- So?

Sometimes I would like to close this

story before it becomes too serious.

But sometimes

I feel like wanting

something for me.

Do you understand?

The only thing...

Neil, get out of here!

You are very nervous.

Maybe you're right.

The other night I could

not even thank Julie

for a gift that made me.

I can not believe.

I can not believe.

Where will you meet?

At the Century.

Thank you.

- Good day.

- Do not you have breakfast?

- It's late.

- Why such a rush?

I have a lot of things to do.

I have to go, baby.

I have to go, baby.

- Mrs. Dreyer?

- Yup.

I'm Frank Reed, a

Phil colleague.

He had to run away, but he asked me

to tell her to join him for lunch.

Really '? When '?

Now, at the Valentino restaurant.

At the Hotel Century.

Good! Thank you for calling.

Goodbye.

- Can I help you '?

- Yup.

I'm waiting for my wife. Her name is

Julie Dreyer, she is tall like that

and has red hair.

Can you give this message '?

- Sure.

- Thank you.

I would like a nice coffee.

Can I help you?

I'm really looking for my

husband, but I do not see him.

- What's his name '?

- Phil Dreyer.

He left her this.

I AM IN THE ROOM 1534, THE KEY IS

AT THE RECEPTION. HURRY, I LOVE YOU

- Thank you.

- Imagine yourself.

And I thought

romanticism was over!

F***, Julie!

Julie, wait!

Julie, listen...

- We need to talk.

- There's nothing to say!

- What are you doing '?

- I'll throw you out of the house!

You can not do this!

My love I'm sorry. I was wrong.

A big mistake!

I want you out of here!

This is also my home!

Love, please, let's talk!

I do not want to see you or talk to you.

Do not approach, go away!

Get out of here u.

Please listen to me!

I have to go, baby!

So, guys, things are like that.

Your father and I had

a fight and so...

we have to stay away for a while.

Why did you get angry?

You know when you and Neil fight

and then you do not talk

to you for a while?

Sometimes adults also fight.

Dad teased you?

Yes honey. And it bothered

me just like you.

- Where it went '?

- He'll stay with a friend for a while.

Why did he have to go?

Your father and I must

clarify some things.

But you do not have to worry,

everything will settle.

Did he go to Rudolph?

I do not believe, honey.

Mom!

Mom, are you awake?

Mom! Do you get up or up?

Go downstairs and make

cereals for your sister.

- Can not do it alone?

- Give it a straight line!

Oh God!

Mom!

Holly, what's up?

Neil says dad will

never come back home.

MY LITTLE IS.

- Neil, why are you doing this?

- But it's the truth!

No, I told you last night.

We just have to clarify some things.

It's all right, honey. It's not true.

Everything will be fixed.

Now please, go downstairs
