We need to bring its growth rate back to normal.

With animal fat and vitamins.

We can start with turkey and veal.

- Three times a day. - Perfect.

You like!

All clear!

Here we go!

A little at a time.

Are you hungry!

Hi.

Hi.

What is this?

Meat.

Meat?

Where does?

- Wait. - Let me see.

Let me see.

I went to Dr. Bill this morning and said that is not growing.

- What did you do? - The baby is 7% lower.

It means that 93 in 100 babies grow more than him.

What was that? He does not eat anything that comes from animals.

Because I can not stand to see my child dying of hunger!

Got it?

It's a race to see who wins?

- What? - The 7%.

It's a race to see who arrives first?

It's just one of those things.

From now on, we will do what you want,

he eats what you decide,

but do not raise your voice ever, in front of my son.

Good boy.

The last?

Good boy.

Another.

Are you there?

- Are you okay? - Yes.

What are you doing in the bathroom?

- How was your day? - It was good.

What were you doing in the bathroom?

I was giving something to his digestion.

He ate?

All of their food.

The doctor said he can not evaluate it stands, without seeing it.

We did what he said the last two weeks.

And he still has not grown.

What?

Nothing.

If you do not grow, there is an explanation for this sh*t!

Sorry, did not mean ... How was your day?

Good.

Let a doctor, please?

- He finished? - Yes, I ate almost everything.

Let me make it burp.

Good morning Dr. Bill is Jude.

Yes, I hope so.

Not a question. Knows a called oil "Pure Oil Yolax"?

Yes, my wife has given after each meal.

It may be why he is not growing?

What are you doing?

It is the oil that is preventing you from growing!

- Why do not you trust me? - Enough!

It is not digesting the food!

Are you listening to me?

- You're hurting me. - Answer me, you hear me?

You are trying to kill our son?

Responds, damn it!

I know the oil is good for him, her food is that it's poison.

Sorry, he's okay?

He is fine?

Sorry, he's okay?

Mine?

Mine?

Hi.

I did not think you.

They left the apartment.

I thought that ...

Do not forget that we are a family.

Do not let it get lost.

We did it.

Together we will succeed.

- Let's go home? - All right.

- Yes, yes ... - I'm me!

Hi.

- Why he disappeared? - Do not sumi, I'm here.

God is a dump! What's going on?

Mother, may be less aggressive, please?

I'm calling for days at work, they say you disappeared.

- We are here! - And it's okay, I see!

You are rubbish.

Hi, Mina.

Was around, shopping,

and I thought about going to see my little one.

- How kind. - Mom, have a cell phone?

- Yes. - Can you pass,

I will let down here.

- Oh yeah, why? - For the baby.

Can I see it?

He is sleeping.

Not anymore.

I'll be back with you to the subway.

Let me see!

Comes here! My little grandson!

No, you came from the street.

I'll take you with us.

- Ready for a ride? - No.

I'll take it. It's all right.

He just woke up.

Mother, can wait at the door? The shoes.

I package, will be fine.

Mine, please, ten minutes. Fresh air ...

Ready?

- Are you ready, Mom? - Yes, I'm ready.

- Jude? - He is fine.

Bye, Mina.

- Mother, here is your phone. - Yes.

- What's going on? - Nothing.

Mine is languishing,

the baby is skin and bone.

It is just small for his age.

What's going on, something is wrong.

- Are you listening? - Yes mom.

You can talk to me, please?

Slowly.

Slowly, do not eat so fast.

Jude?

Slowly.

What's going on?

Why is feeding here?

Tell me.

She is obsessed with this thing to purify his body,

to find that not eating as it should. He's fine, just ...

slightly underweight.

Okay, slow down!

So ...

you have to feed it here,

because mine ...

not feed him?

It is a stage mother.

It will pass, but for now ...

and so.

Right.

Baby ...

baby slowly.

We finish the rest later.

- You have to do something. - I'm doing.

Have to get help, she's crazy.

She is not crazy, just ... unusual.

You need help.

Mother, we are all she has. It's my family!

My family. I'll handle it.

We are all she has in the world,

just the two of us.

Did you have fun, love?

Here, I brought avocado.

I hold.

Come here.

I am a bit tired.

You know I love you?

It is as if he did not trust me,

as if trying to control myself.

I might ask me, as I am, at least once.

I have to change it.

No, I want to take a bath, I even change.

- No, I change it. - No, you deserve.

Right? Please take a bath.

- I'll take care. - Do you know where your pajamas?

Of course, under the pillow.

My son vomited meat.

What do you know about it?

Unintentionally, my wife is killing my son.

She is obsessed with purity and cleanliness.

You do not want it in the sunlight,

My son can not see the sun.

My son is like any other, is not an indigo child.

What?

An indigo child comes to earth,

another dimension to save everyone.

But not anymore. Then she came with that purity ...

and the result is that my child is not growing.

I just want to save my son.

Why is he not growing? Have you seen a doctor?

Yeah, and then she convinced me not to go because it knows more.

And I try to help him alone,

tidy excuse to take you ...

to a church where I give hidden ham.

I do this three times per day.

I've been three times and I think a new excuse to give ham.

But now she found.

Do you have proof of what you tell me?

- The boy? - I mean, written test.

Besides the fact that it does not grow?

Sure, will mark a meeting with the social service,

and I call a well-known psychiatrist. We will take her to see him.

Let convince his wife that she needs treatment.

A psychiatrist?

We have to expose his wife,

for all to see and can understand.

We have no time.

Time is what we need to establish evidence.

I do not know how I'll make dinner for my son tonight.

Okay, we will do as you say, meanwhile,

I take care of things on my own, thank you.

Wait!

The first thing is to leave the child in a safe place.

Are there any safe place?

Some?

Perhaps my mother.

Once it resolved, give it to his wife.

and then send another by certified mail.

It will have to accept that the child will be with her grandmother for a while.

- She will never accept. - There will be a legal battle.

But the child will be safe.

Should know that technically, what I am proposing,

It is called sequestration.

Okay thank you.

You are beautiful ...

as angels.

I have the afternoon off, I'll take you for a ride.

No.

16h are the best time of day.

He'll be fine.

I'm not in the mood.

I take you, you stay here.

Go back to sleep, she was so beautiful before.

I'm going too.

I will not have to go if you do not want.

No, I'm just going to wear me.

I'm worried about you, looking so tired.

You need time, we need a time.

We'll get through this together, but for now let me handle.

- What does that mean? - Nothing.

It does not mean anything.

It will give us a little time,

a few days, a week ...

You can come whenever you want.
