You will never escape me.

- Mikey, don't do that!

- What did I do?

Some people don't have the strength

to get out certain situations.

What are you trying to say?

Mikey, don't touch that.

I'm saying I still love you

and I still want you.

- And what about Mikey?

- Count on me. Whatever he needs.

He needs a father.

I'm living alone for the first time

in 17 years. I'm in therapy.

I can't be anybody's father now.

I need to be by myself.

- I've raised my kids.

- Raised them? They're 11 and 9!

- Have they moved out?

- Too much fruit!

It wouldn't be fair to Mikey.

- Is he taking a dump?

- No, he's thinking real hard.

- I'll get you cleaned up.

- Use the washroom in the back.

- He'll ask about his daddy.

- I want James to be the daddy.

Don't do that here.

That's a $10, 000 desk!

- Now it's junk!

- I thought you'd understand.

Of course I understand. You're going

through a selfish phase.

I know you will understand that I'm

going through a destructive phase.

Let's trash the place.

I'm sorry about that stupid outfit.

I'm sorry I made you meet

that mean man. Never again.

Every time I take you someplace,

people are crazy about you.

Yet the person who has a genetic

bond to you treats you like a jerk.

Everybody loves you.

All the kids at the playground.

Ma loves you. Rona loves you.

James loves you.

Mikey, do you love James?

- Give him a call.

- Do you want to play telephone?

Hello?

It's for you. You take this one,

I'll take the other one.

This is Lou Franklin,

I'm phoning about your grandfather.

He's become abusive and violent.

- Should I call Health & Welfare?

- No, I'll come and pick him up.

- What's going on?

- I'm a hostage.

He's a mean old bastard!

- Look what he did to my arm?

- Don't talk to him like that.

- They're hiding Dora.

- They are not.

- Then where is she?

- Sit down. I'll find her for you.

Let's get your face cleaned up.

You want to look good for her.

You're my favourite daughter-in-law.

You're smart and a good person.

That's why Jimmy loves you so much.

- There you go.

- Let's go find James.

I'll show you some pictures.

Grandpa, did you eat all these

candy bars today?

- The bastards stole my candy.

- We'll get some more.

- Where's the director's office?

- Down the hall.

- We're busy.

- I'll keep my eye on them for you.

I'll be back in a minute.

This isn't his usual behaviour.

My husband made arrangements.

It isn't the orderly's

responsibility to control his diet.

He requires a private nurse.

No, he doesn't. The orderly was told

to give him one candy bar a day.

- He said no problem.

- That was Bill.

Bill always says no problem.

The man can't speak English.

- So can Grandpa stay?

- Of course.

- Thank you.

- Thanks for coming down so fast.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Your grandfather can stay.

- You didn't have to do that.

- I wanted to do it.

- Let me give you a ride home.

- Don't bother.

- Fine!

D.J., it's time for lunch.

Let's go.

- Are you okay with him?

- Get the hell out of here.

Steven and Paulie,

they're your cousins.

- Hi, Vince.

- Hello, Esther.

Esther... I'd like you

to meet my grandson.

Hey, there goes James.

Where's he going?

Maybe he's going downstairs.

- They took me to the beauty salon.

- Where's the elevator.

Going down.

I'll just press all these.

Perfect! I'll just hitch a ride

with the fruit cups.

There we go. Take her away, boys.

- Mikey.

- Grandpa, where's Mikey?

- He was just here.

- How long ago did he leave?

- I'll check the hallway.

- I'm calling the police.

Hi, toots. Anyone seen my dad?

- That's Ida's grandson.

- Come on, I'm in a hurry.

- Here, fella, go find your grandma.

- Thanks for nothing.

When the police get here,

will you show them these pictures?

All right, I'm on the case now.

That is exactly what I need.

I could find him in one of those.

Let's see if I remember this.

I'll set this thing down right here

and get that door open.

What was it James said?

Stick this in here...

There it goes.

Move the circle around

and we're off.

Mikey!

Mikey!

- He's in the back of that car.

- Let's get the cab.

- Hey!

- Stop!

I got this driving thing knocked.

Move it!

There he is. Look at me.

Hey, James, I'm driving!

James... where's he going?

- What are you doing?

- I'll cut him off.

You'll lose him.

I know this alley

like the back of my hand.

Mikey! He's gone!

Mikey!

- You had a little boy in there.

- What are you talking about?

He's about this big.

- This is a good place to spot him.

- Mikey!

Mikey, stop!

- James, is that you?

- Mikey, don't move.

James, Mommy...

Here I come.

- Mikey!

- I'm coming.

- Did you see what just happened?

- Give me my baby.

Are you all right, honey?

Let me see you.

He doesn't have a scratch on him.

I finally got you both together.

I better take

him to the hospital anyway.

Ma, I want James to be the daddy.

- Thanks for all your help.

- I'll take you home now.

- Dada.

- I think he called you Dada.

No, I'm talking

to hear myself speak.

- He thinks you're his father.

- I've spent a lot of time with him.

He probably thinks

we're going to end up together.

I hope

they don't get stuck together.

Should I tell them

I need a new diaper?

No, I'll wait.

- Hi, honey.

- Mikey, this is your sister Julie.

Say "Hi, Julie."

Don't start with me, kid! I've had

a day you wouldn't believe.
