That bastard is bound to call.

He must think we'll buy Gino back.

What if he's a maniac?

What if he's hacking him to pieces,

just for fun?

His heart!

He's cooled down enough.

You'll kill him.

I'm a doctor, a healer,

not a killer.

Killing me won't help.

Two corpses won't help you

save anyone.

You want to kill to save a life, do it.

I won't assume that responsibility

for you.

What do I do?

Cut.

Here.

Think it over,

you don't look like a murderer.

Hurry up!

Sit down, you don't look well.

We believe an organ

bears part of its owner.

Along with it you get some of him.

What did they say?

They said...

They said it would be a miracle

if I didn't limp.

Miracles only happen if you believe.

I guess.

You'll be fine.

There's a reason it happened to you.

Oh yeah?

And why your heart keeps growing?

I don't know, probably.

There has to be a reason

for our suffering.

What?

Even if we can't understand.

And chance?

No such thing.

Prove it.

Prove there's no such thing as chance?

That's what you said.

Take the sun and the moon.

Isn't it amazing that from here

they both look the same size?

One's huge,

millions of kilometers away.

The other's tiny,

a few thousand from here.

Think that's a coincidence?

I never thought about it.

Anyway, what's the point?

It's simple.

You have the sun and the moon.

Sometimes they get closer

and closer.

When they come together,

it makes an eclipse.

Perverts! Doing it in public!

That's why they put out the lights.

Let me show you something.

It's amazing.

That's your kid?

His name's Theo.

Handsome, isn't he?

Can I say No?

That little thing nearly killed you?

Did you know?

You knew and you had him?

I don't mind dying for a reason.

You're a strange girl.

Thanks.

And his dad? Where's his dad?

He doesn't know.

So you said,

I'll make an orphan, no mom or dad.

He'll do fine without me.

They'll find healthy parents

who'll love him all their lives.

But you matter too.

I'm alone, I can die any time.

No, I'm not important.

I'm sure you matter for him.

For me too, you matter.

You're sweet.

Julien, give me the baby seat!

Light as a feather.

Look, check it out.

Nice, huh?

Is that your car?

Not yet.

What did I say?

Alice!

Wait! Stop it!

Alice, stop!

Wait up!

Careful, there's a car.

I was joking,

I wasn't going to steal it.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...

I wasn't really going to steal it.

I'm sorry. Look, give me a chance.

We all deserve a chance.

Your last chance.

Wake up.

They're coming.

Help me.

You have to hurry.

And keep the heart on ice.

Thank you!

No, go out the front.

Her life's in your hands now.

Good luck!

Let's go! Catch him!

Hello, boss?

-Are the cops there?

-Yeah.

-You nab him?

-Not yet.

It won 't be long.

He'll pay for what he did to Gino.

Not just that.

The punk deserved to die long ago.

You're too kind, boss.

Call me.

On the roof.

The north side.

-Hi, Morgane?

-Who is it?

It's Max.

Look, it's not a good time.

I'm working, I'm really busy.

Morgane, it's really urgent.

Is your patio door open?

Call back in 9 or 1 0 years.

-Morgane, is the door open?

-I dunno.

-Working hard!

-What the f***?

What is this?

Get out!

What is this?

Did you see...?

That way! That way!

Catch him!

-Sorry!

-That way.

Don't be scared.

Sorry, I have indigestion.

Close the door!

You bastard!

I'll drown you! What's going on?

-Explain.

-I need help.

-Some nerve!

-Can I borrow a car?

What are you getting me into?

Why'd you do it?

Now you can't come see me at work.

I don't give a f***.

I hate that club.

Bunch of gangsters.

Morgane, why do you...?

You're better than that.

I can't just quit. I need the cash.

It pays real well.

I won't do it forever.

You always say that,

but you're still...

I don't steal cars with my dad.

I have to earn a living.

It's no way to make a living,

with your ass!

Why do you care?

It's my ass!

I do what I want with my ass.

Got a problem with that?

You can sell your ass

to those gangsters.

-Screw you!

-Screw you!

I'm glad you have the same place.

You fixed it up.

Here.

So,

you still dancing?

Those days are over.

What do you do?

By the tub.

Hurry up!

IN THE FAST LANE

Not bad.

Here, catch.

A friend forgot it.

So you're racing Pro Stock?

I didn't run off and leave everyone.

I chased my dream.

You kept it?

Didn't know I had it.

We're wasting time.

Is that yours?

Not bad. Gimme the keys.

The other one.

-Cool, that'll do.

-Where we going?

You're not coming,

it's too dangerous.

Take me for an idiot?

I'd never see my car again.

Morgane, I've changed.

I'll bring it back, I swear.

You're a thief and a liar

and I'll never trust you again.

Stop! The cops are everywhere.

Sh*t!

Did you break out of jail?

No, not exactly.

What's in the bag?

Nothing.

The less you know, the better.

Think you're hot sh*t.

You disappear for 9 years,

break in, make me an accessory,

ask for my car, and won't talk.

Think I'm your wife?

Back up, they'll see you.

I didn't ask for this.

It's their fault.

You haven't changed, sh*t.

An irresponsible teen

and friggin' macho!

And you've changed?

So gentle and empathetic!

Bloody pighead!

Morgane, shut the door!

Stop! Morgane!

Lookin' for him?

Stop, it's not funny!

Don't be an idiot!

I'd lost them. Happy now?

Slow down, you'll get us killed!

Stop bossing me, this is fun!

What's in the bag?

A heart.

A heart?

-You got one?

-What kind of heart?

An A pos heart.

Christ, Rambo. Floor it!

Is it their heart?

I'll go it alone.

No way, I'm not letting

you disappear again.

Get off my case!

We had a fling, it was lots of fun,

but that's all it was.

Outta the way!

-I didn't know what love was.

-Now you do?

Yeah, love's called Alice.

The heart's for her.

Watch out!

-What?

-Nothing, thanks. Bye.

Wuss!

Drama queen!

F***, the heart!

C'mon, hurry!

Morgane?

-You O.K.?

-Jump in!

Chasing after me now?

-Forgot my heart.

-I'll eat it!

Move!

Yeah, speaking.

It's for Alice in Wonderland?

Something like that.

Glad to see you.

What are you waiting for? Go!

I owe you.

A lot!

I know.

He must be somewhere

in the hospital.

Where does he go for coffee?

I don't know what to tell you.

It must be a union meeting.

Is there a message?

I already left one.

I'll go look myself.

-They're innocent.

-And the body?

That punk killed him.

The car's not in their name.

You've no proof.

-They had guns.

-And licenses.

They were driving recklessly.

Yes, and the driver will pay a fine.

Do I have to call your chief?

That's him!

Stop him!

Coming through!

What are you doing here? C'mon!

It's Julien.

You?

-I have the heart.

-Stay away.

They found a cop with no organs.

-Sure he's a cop?

-Who is that?

We even know his name,

Steve Santini.

Steve Santini.

-You know him?

-Don't think so.

-You do know him!

-I don 't.

Some people want to speak to you.

Sh*t!

Look, I'll meet you.

Where?

The South Shore.

-Why there?
