than other things.

Some children are more sensitive

than other children.

Make yourself comfortable.

So, you really think talk could fix all this?

l dont kno, but its a good start.

All right. lll talk a blue streak

if itll stop all this from happening.

As a kid, l experienced

every clich in the book.

l as afraid of the dark,

l as scared of my father.

He as a minister, if you can believe it.

He actually spoke ith thee and thou.

l as six before l realized

not everyone did that. lt as a shock.

Why ere you afraid of him?

When he held me, it asnt the ay

a father should hold a daughter.

Ho did he hold you?

- You kno hat l mean.

- Did your mother kno?

l think so.

So l ran aay, and... l got as far as Ne York,

and thats here l met Mario.

Billys the spitting image of him.

lts very strange.

Really? Must have been handsome.

Billys a good-looking kid.

He as.

Can you tell me about him?

l as 16. That says

an awful lot right there. l as...

ld never met anyone like him.

He as exciting...

What do you mean, exciting?

Exciting in bed?

Yeah. He as.

He as exciting in many ays.

But you did like making love ith him?

At first, and then it turned bad.

- The sex?

- Everything turned bad.

l mean, l got pregnant. Before l kne it,

he started drinking, taking pills...

lt as a mess. Everything as a mess.

What happened to him?

- He got himself killed on his motorcycle.

- l see. Ho old ere you?

- 16.

- Gee. So Billy asnt born yet?

No. l kne l as pregnant.

Ho did you feel hen he died?

- Ho do you think l felt?

- l dont kno. Why dont you tell me?

- He as my husband.

- l kno. But l still dont kno ho you felt.

l thanked God. l did.

l thanked God hen he died.

- l also thanked God for Bob Garrett.

- Bob Garrett?

- Julie and Kims father.

- Right, right.

He as older, he kne a lot.

He made me see that life as good.

That men and omen loving each other as

good, healthy. Having children as good.

- Simple.

- So Bob as your second husband?

- Well, no. We ere never legally married.

- Where is he no?

l dont kno.

He as never the kind

to stay in one place very long.

lm impressed.

- By hat?

- By hat? Your independence.

Knoing ho you are, hat you ant,

keeping your family together.

l do need your help.

l really do.

And l ont fight you.

Because if it is me, if its really me

creating all this, if lm that sick,

then l have to be stopped.

But if it isnt me,

then e have to make a deal, you and l, to

accept that fact and find a ay to stop it, OK?

OK.

- Mommy!

- lm here!

- Mommy!

- Hi. Hi, you guys.

- Ho you doin?

- Fine.

- This is Dr Sneiderman. Kim and Julie.

- Hi.

- Are you guys full?

- Yeah.

You dont have any room for dessert?

- OK. l think its time for me to go.

- OK. lll alk you out.

- Bye-bye, girls. Nice meeting you.

- Bye.

- lm nervous about tomorro.

- About the staff meeting?

Dont be silly. Theyre perfectly routine.

- Good night.

- Bye-bye.

But theres still something here.

- Mommy, l cant ait.

- OK. Dont cheat.

This is almost perfect.

This is the best part.

- Mommy!

- We got it. OK.

Hold on. Dont look yet.

- OK. No look.

- Mommy!

- lm gonna go get a chair.

- Hey. You cant use your hands. Come on.

Dont start ithout me.

- Mom!

- Help!

Dont hurt me!

Get off! Get off!

Help me!

Mom! Mom!

Well, Dr Sneiderman explained

it as like a very poerful dream.

Mrs Moran.

Did you believe him?

l tried to.

But you... cannot.

Why?

Because he hurt my son. He broke his rist.

Because my children feel it.

Because of the marks on my body.

Theyre in places...

l cant do it to myself, even in a dream.

Why does he attack you, Carla,

not anyone else?

l dont kno.

- l suppose he chose me.

- Chose you?

Why?

l suppose he finds me attractive.

Would it be a reflection on you

as a oman if he left you?

Or if you ere cured?

No. lt ould not be a reflection on me.

l hate this hole thing.

lts like a nightmare and l cant ake up.

l just anna get rid of him.

Of course you do, Carla.

And ere trying to help you.

lm not sure ho much good

all this talkings doing.

Well, its our ay of trying to understand.

Well, so far it hasnt helped.

lt hasnt ith Dr Sneiderman.

Look, excuse me. l have to meet someone

at the airport. ls that all right?

Certainly. And thank you very much,

Carla, for letting us talk to you.

- Quite a young lady.

- Yes.

- Ho did you meet her?

- l as on call one night at the clinic.

- She just came in out of the blue?

- Please.

Thank you.

Thats ho it happens.

- Yeah.

- Shes masturbating.

This entire circus, she has invented it

to cover up hat every little girl does.

Well, ith all due respect,

sir, that as my initial diagnosis.

But l think e can all agree that thats

not some teenager ith an identity crisis.

No she tells us that

her children are feeling this thing too, so...

lts a mass illusion. Folie quatre.

Hysteria is contagious. Anyone can see

and feel things that simply arent there.

Her children just support her delusions.

Classically correct, sir, but her mind is

giving her very strong and explicit images.

Why is she going to such lengths

to support this delusion?

Phil, look at the record. She believes

that her father has incestuous desires.

She falls in love ith an adolescent,

a typical overgron kid.

He tries to prove hes a real man and hes not.

After hich she picks up ith...

- Jerry Anderson?

- No, Garrett.

- Oh, Garrett.

- Bob Garrett.

A man old enough to be her father.

See a pattern here?

- Yeah. l dont kno that l agree.

- Safe sex. lts the story of Carlas life.

Shes consistently refused

to get involved in the real thing.

- She has three children.

- What does that prove?

- lt doesnt take sex to make babies.

- That is a fact l asnt aare of.

- Well, no you kno.

- Not real sex.

For 32 years,

Carla goes along very smoothly.

All of a sudden,

she meets this fello... Whats his name?

Jerry Anderson? No lm on it.

OK. And po!

She drifts into a Dionysian fantasy.

Dont you see? lts the kind of situation

that can energize this sort of breakdon.

- What, Anderson?

- Certainly. A real man. Sure.

She ants the real thing.

No more faking it ith kids and old men.

And faced ith the real thing, Carla buckles.

She falls back into an infantile reality.

l suggest you dig a lot deeper.

l think youre gonna find out more.

And maybe youll find out

that Carla is not hat she seems to be.

Hear, hear.

- You look different.

- Ho?

l dont kno. The face.

lts got a serious look.

- Sos yours.

- No, no.

Your eyes have changed or somethin.

What is it?

lts been a long time.

You kno, its been too long.

- Somethings rong?

- No.

- Billy?

- No.

Me, right?

Come on.

No. Just nothing. lts...

lm only afraid.

You kno, just hen youre not around,

lm afraid of losing you, thats all.

You ont lose me, honey.

l go crazy thinking about it.

Dont go crazy.

What if l did?

What if l ent crazy?

No, youre not gonna

go and do that right no.

What ould you do if l did?
