She's Lost Control Page #4

---

You know, if you can't

gently pull someone

because they won't allow it,

all you can do is push.

Or leave.

So then what happened?

Nothing.

Very small community.

Who is it?

It's me.

Look, I hate to be the one

telling you,

but this letter you got

is bad news.

Seems like you've been using

an illegal washer-dryer.

Broken pipe in your apartment,

severe damage to the one below.

The bathroom needs

to be renovated.

That machine was installed

before I moved in.

I spoke with the case manager.

Since you're the one

in violation,

the insurance won't pay.

You may become uninsurable,

but that's another issue.

That doesn't make any sense.

Your neighbor is suing

the landlord,

and he's suing you.

Why is my neighbor suing?

She claims she slipped and fell.

It's a smart move if she can

prove he's in default.

Um, Marty, she's lying.

I saw her, she's perfectly fine.

The building isn't washer-dryer

approved, Ronah.

The fact is you violated

the contractual agreement.

They seemed very serious

about it,

and if I were you,

I wouldn't want to go to court.

You'll be asked

a lot of questions

that you may not want to answer.

On the other hand,

if we try to settle,

we're talking months

at the very least.

In all honesty,

I can't do this pro bono.

Yeah.

Of course.

Hi, you've reached Andro,

Danielle, and Sebastian's house.

We're not here right now,

so leave us a message.

I'm just... I'm calling to see

if you have any news.

I don't know, um,

sorry that you have

to deal with this.

Call me any time, okay, Andro?

Even if I get this right,

how am I gonna do it

with someone else?

Well, because in most cases,

the learned feelings

and emotions carry over.

How do you know?

Because all relationships end,

you know, whether through...

a breakup or death.

Or external circumstances.

It's important that we learn

how to move on.

You're not making

any f***ing sense.

I like you, Ronah.

I like you, too, Johnny.

It's happening once again.

It's your f***in' fault.

Your f***ing fault.

Johnny?

Johnny, are you okay?

Johnny.

Hey, what's going on here?

Johnny, talk to me.

Hey, look at me.

Careful.

Hey.

Look at me, it's me.

- Johnny, take a deep...

- No, don't touch...

Don't touch me.

Hey, talk to me. I don't know

what's going on right now.

Okay.

Has anything that you've

ever told me been true?

Yes, of course.

- Anything?

- Stop it!

- Has anything...

- Stop!

...you said been true to me?

Don't you f***ing lie to me.

Yes.

Why would you do it?

- Why would you do it?

- Listen, stop it.

- Just stop it, just stop it!

- No, why would you do it?

Your hands are small,

you're bony.

I don't f***ing like you.

I can't...

F***ing let...

Get the...

Get the f*** off of me.

Ooh!

Get off me!

You don't scare me, Johnny.

I have done everything

you asked me to.

I'm not gonna let you

f***ing hurt me.

You're messin' with my head.

You lied to me!

You don't f***in' scare me.

You lied to me!

Get off me.

God!

I'd like to hear from you,

if that's okay,

about what happened

so I can assess the situation

and then take steps from there.

What was your relationship

to this man?

Friend, acquaintance.

But you work together?

Well, not anymore.

Does he know your schedule?

Does he know where you live?

I don't think so.

And what do you do

for a living, miss?

Getting my Master's.

Could you just...

let me know what my options are?

I'm not sure

I want to press charges,

I just wanted to make sure

that I...

that it was on file in some way.

We've seen a lot of cases

just like this.

Let me tell you what

I tell everyone else.

There's no excuse

for what he did to you,

it's a serious violation.

We see that you're hurt,

so our job is to proceed

from here. You with me?

Yeah, but could you just

give me a breakdown

as to how these kinds

of cases usually go?

I mean, does he...

s he arrested?

Does he just have

to go to court, or...?

You can't worry about

any of that now.

What we focus on

is how to protect you or others.

We can get you

an order of protection

so that he cannot contact you,

call you,

or approach you in any way.

We want you to feel safe.

You mind if I get some pictures

of the injuries you sustained?

Yeah, that's fine.

Can I just... can I finish this

first?

There you go.

There's no rush.

We'll get you to the ER.

You'll feel better soon.

May I use your bathroom?

It's right around the corner,

honey.

Take a left and then a right

at the end of the hall.

It's a unisex.

Thanks. I'll be right back.

Hello, hi, Claire?

Are you there?

Hello?

Hi Ronah.

It's Robert,

from last year.

Hi Robert, how are you?

I'm a bad boy, I know.

No, but this is a new number.

I found it online last month.

Listen, Ronah,

you know how much

I... I enjoyed being...

Is this an emergency, Robert?

I miss you.

I miss you.

Marty, it's Ronah.

I've thought it through

and I'd like you to settle

with them for a percentage.

You'll get 30 percent

of whatever you save me

on top of your hourly rate,

so there's really no need

to call me back.

Just send me an email.

Okay, take care.

I'm really looking forward

to the workshops.

Well, will I see you in Quebec?

Yes, of course.

You can stay with me

for as long as you need to.

Thank you.

Just have some stuff

I have to figure out back home.

Well, you let me know if there's

anything you need, okay?

I will.

Thank you, Irene.

You're a good person.

My God.

It's just a couple of boxes.

You're wearing more makeup.

It makes you look older.

I'm sorry I didn't make it

up here earlier.
