in this man's house

with dogs and bodyguards.

It's been

five years now.

But I'm gonna see

Tom again soon.

Yeah.

There's a man

who's in charge who watches him.

And-and if I give him money,

he will let me

see Tom.

I'm gonna kidnap Tom.

What?

I'm just giving a child

his mother back.

He deserves to know where half

his heart comes from, right?

And-and, I mean,

that way we can get away

from his filth.

- Really?

- I need your help.

Please, I'm begging you.

I need your help.

I can't do this alone.

I'll pay you.

I'll pay you.

To-to kidnap your kid?

- Yes.

- You're f***ing nuts.

If he calls

and says yes,

he's gonna take Tom to a

river where they go and bathe.

I know this place.

Nobody goes there.

And, you know, all you have

to do is stay in your car

a- and-and wait there.

My car stays right

where it is, lady.

There are

license plates on cars.

You're right.

And I can rent one in my name.

And for doing this

I will give you

$50,000.

$50,000?

That's a lot of money.

I know, yeah,

but I have all this money.

- I have it in Mexico.

- In Mexico.

And I also have stocks

from my husband.

I have a lot of money

and I don't want any of that.

I just need Tom.

I just want Tom.

No, don't go.

Please, don't go.

- Just wait.

- Okay okay okay.

I need to show you

what I'm saving him from.

- Okay.

- Don't leave.

What the f***?

You know, my child-

He can never be happy

with this man.

He is going to destroy

my kid.

I gotta go.

I don't know

the first thing about kids.

Great story.

Oh, f***.

Hello.

Man:

Hey, Honey Honey, we're closed.

Hey, you're- I'm here.

You're open.

We've been closed for about

half an hour now.

Could I just get a vodka tonic?

A vodka tonic?

Can I just get-?

I'm waiting

for something.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, sure.

Vodka tonic?

Please.

Nice place

you've got here.

Well...

You don't mind

if I smoke, do you?

No.

You don't want me smoking

in the street outside-

- Not a good look.

- Honey, you just sit here and smoke.

You're a kind man.

Mm-hmm.

You're a kind man.

Going somewhere?

- Mitch!

- Seen my pants?

'Cause I can't find them anywhere.

I'll make some coffee.

You know, what you did do

was you collapsed.

Yeah yeah.

I picked you up.

I had to carry you

to my car.

I put you inside.

I opened a window.

You know what you said?

"f*** you. "

No, what you said-

Oh, God, you said-

You went like this

and then you said,

"the wind

caresses my face

like no man ever will. "

- F***ing poet.

- God, you were so beautiful.

I kissed you.

Well, you know I have

this unbelievable

power over men.

Yeah.

You did a bad thing.

You did a bad thing.

How would you know anything

happened between us?

And why would you even give a sh*t?

Aren't you the one

who likes to wake up in the morning

not remembering what happened?

I am finding this whole experience

very revealing.

The real Mitch-

no saint after all, Honey.

I mean, these photographs

of the little family-

the lovely wife and the

adorable children everywhere.

I didn't sleep with you.

You slept with me.

You were here alone.

Bullshit.

You were asleep there in a coma

on the Couch. I'm in there asleep.

I woke up in your bed

with my dress half off.

I wake up, you're suddenly

crying your little eyes out.

- I was crying?

- Yeah, like a little baby.

I had to put my arms around

you- a big giraffe like you.

"I don't want

to sleep alone. "

- Oh, really?

- Yeah yeah.

And you know what, Julia?

Any guy would do.

You stink of loneliness, Buster.

You're not my type.

Do you think you could shut up

for a minute? Is that possible?

'Cause I'd like to tell you

something here. If you're not careful,

you could lose it all in one

night- in one bad night.

I'll tell you about

the old Mitch, okay?

- Oh, come on.

- If you shut up.

The old Mitch, who was

a real f***ing drinker,

could drink you

under the table

any f***ing day

of the week, believe me.

A disaster for my family,

but I didn't give a f***.

And one bad night

One of my kids

gets in the way.

And I just-

I just wanted

to push her,

but that's not what I did.

What I did is I hit her.

All this rag came out of me.

I wanted to do some

real f***ing damage.

My fist came down on her.

She just went-

What is she, eight years old?

Skinny little arms-

she went flying against that wall.

She dropped right there,

not breathing.

My wife goes running over to her,

picks her up, takes her

to the hospital.

Saved her life-

my little Lucy.

You know what I did?

I went in there

and I went to sleep.

Passed out.

Just another night.

13 years-

haven't seen them since.

Julia, do not

waste a second

thinking that you've got these

magical incredible powers,

because what you are

is an out-of-control

suicidal blind alcoholic.

But I'm here.

I'm here to help you.

Are you in love with me, Mitch?

- Is this what this is?

- Oh, God.

You know, it's not a good idea.

I'm a disaster

to be in love with.

You know that.

You know,

I just f*** you up

and then you hate me

and then-

and then I lose my friend.

So the ring that I got

in my pocket here-

I shouldn't bring it out

'cause you're gonna say no?

Listen, kiddo,

if I'm in love with you, none

of your f***ing business, okay?

That's too bad

'cause you got great legs.

It's right here.

Here?

The river is down there.

You want me to walk down there?

- Yeah, yes, come.

- Well, I'm not-

It's fine.

I'll help you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

This is where they're gonna

park their car, right here.

And this is where

they have their picnic,

Over here.

And we're here with Tom.

Okay, I'm gonna bring him

and tell him I need

to speak to him alone-

you know,

this intimacy thing.

And we're gonna be

around this area.

And there's

nowhere to run, see?

So he's not gonna

think anything.

And the car's

gonna be over there.

So, okay, and here's

when I'm taking the gun.

I'm shooting in his

direction- poom poom.

Whoa whoa whoa.

That is the first time

I've heard you

bring up a gun.

'Cause I'm not, you know-

well, it's only to frighten him

Because I need to take his

car keys and the cell phone.

It's only that. It's only that.

Don't worry.

So in the moment that

he needs to reach someone,

we're gonna be

really far away.

So, okay,

that is gonna be

your sign to come here-

to come and pick us up

right here.

Eh? See?

- You know, Elena, I have to ask this-

- Yeah.

Um...

What if Tom doesn't wanna?

- Doesn't want what?

- Doesn't wanna go.

I mean, doesn't recognize you.

Oh, no, he will recognize me.

He will?

Yeah yeah.

Okay, so say- say- let's

say that it all goes good

And you've got

your kid back.

Then what?

Well, then you drive us

back to San Diego, you know?

Because we're going home.

We're going to Mexico.

I have everything there

ready for him.

You know, that a**hole

wanted to leave me

without everything Brian gave me.

And I fought him. I fought

him and I won the trial.
