- Stop it. Just shop it.

You did this to me, Billie.

- You did this. You weren't there.

- No.

- Why? Why did you hurt me like that?

- No.

- Did I hurt you?

- It's okay.

- Did I chase you away like a dog?

- It's okay. No. Look at me.

- Like a stinking dog?

- No, no.

Get away, mutt.

- You stinking mutt

- Stop.

- Stop.

- Thank God.

Yeah. Run, Billie. Run.

- Stop it! Calm down.

- There's no ambulance.

What did you tell them?

I told them

she was destroying my house.

- No, they're not gonna understand

- Stop it!

- Shut up.

- What's going on?

I hear them.

Oh, I hear them.

They're killing my horses.

Oh, God. They're killing my horses.

- Baby!

- No.

- No.

- Stay where you are.

- Don't you dare touch my horses.

- Baby, slop.

Don't hurt her! She's ill!

- Don't you touch them, please.

- On the ground.

- She's crazy.

- No, wait.

- Please don't hurt her.

- Stay back.

- Stay back.

- Baby. Don't hurt her. Stop.

- Look at me. Stay back.

- Wait.

- Billie.

- Calm down.

- You're hurting her. Baby!

- Oh, Billie.

They're asleep.

Aunt Will, honey, it's late.

Go to bed, all right?

Look.

Imagine that.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't know what to say to them.

I know. It's okay.

Here.

- All right.

- I got you.

- Thank you.

- There you go.

Well...

How did your mother do it?

All those years?

Good night.

Well, that worked out, didn't it?

You tried.

I tried and I failed.

- Over and over again.

- No, Billie-

I did. I hurt her.

The truth is,

I don't know how to help her.

And I want to.

I want her to be happy

and on that horse...

Oh, she was...

She was my sister again.

Now she's-

She's just that crazy woman.

And I miss her.

Today at ballet,

someone sprained their ankle.

We thought she sprained her ankle.

But she actually broke it.

She has to get surgery now.

She went to the hospital.

She was the best dancer

in the class.

And she was the lead in the show.

Honey, you sleeping?

No.

Are you?

No, I'm just thinking.

I know she can't stay here.

She needs-

Professional help.

Yeah.

I think that's what we should do.

But...

...can we afford it?

We'll work it out.

You would do that for her?

Yeah, for her.

And for us.

Baby, I have something to tell you.

And I want you to listen.

Are you listening?

Baby?

Elizabeth.

You can't stay here.

That's the decision.

But it isn't a punishment.

It's a reward.

I don't want any reward.

Remember at the ranch...

...you said if you could just stay there,

that you would feel normal again?

- I don't remember.

- Yes, you do.

You were so excited.

You wanted it more than anything,

didn't you?

Well, we'd like to take you to a place

that could give you that.

- What kind of a place?

- It's a beautiful place.

It's like a college campus.

- A nuthouse

- No.

It's a place that can give you a life.

That's what you want, isn't it?

But I wanna stay here.

But what would you do

if you stayed here?

You would sit in that chair.

So what? What does it matter?

- It doesn't matter.

- It matters to me.

It's my job...

...to help you get what you need.

It was Mom's job for all those years.

And it's my job now.

And I'm telling you...

...that you can't stay here.

You have to go to a place...

...that will make you have a life.

Okay?

I'm afraid.

Me too.

May I?

Goodbye, Baby.

I'll come visit you.

I'll call you, okay?

I have something

I wanna show you.

- I'll stay here.

- Okay.
