With extra syrup.

Elena.

I know that you are...Having

a hard time right now.

- Please don't touch me.

- Alright.

- I want..

...to go home.

- I'm sorry.

Ah!

- You don't like the song?

I can sing you another one.

- I'm thirsty.

- Here it is.

More.

You're sweating.

I'm gonna go downstairs now,

so you can be alone.

But you can just call me

if there is anything

you need, okay?

Elena?

Elena?

Elena's internal bleedings

were too extensive.

We couldn't do anything.

What happens now?

We still need answers

from some of the tests -

- but nothing indicates that your child

has any permanent injuries.

You can probably take her home

soon.

What is it?

- Huh?

- Nothing. I'm just very happy.

Look here...

And here comes the sun.

Here you'll bathe when you grow

old.

Look at them staring.

Have they never seen a baby?

There is your daddy.

There he is, the silly Billy.

Hello.

Why are you lying here?

I couldn't fall asleep

with that sound she makes.

What sound?

That clicking sound she makes.

- Clicking sound?

- Yes.

Has daddy gone completely mad?

Can you take her while I take a

bath?

Hey, you.

Hi there.

Are you just going to be awake all the time?

Aren't you going to sleep at all?

You are so awake.

See you.

I think being a daddy

has been a transition for him.

He... in relation to shelley he...

He almost avoids her. He's not quite...

He's not quite there

and has these bad dreams.

I think he thinks

it's a bit complicated... being a daddy.

- How is shelley?

- Amazing.

She's perfect. She's so beautiful,

first and foremost -

- and then she's awake,

present and calm.

Elena said something about

the child was killing her.

Yes.

Elena was very sick.

- Yes.

- She said many strange things.

Here comes Leo.

Do you want to say hi to Leo?

Say hi to Leo.

Leo?

Leo was here today.

- Mm-hmm.

He acted strange.

Doesn't he always?

He was different today.

I've never seen him like that

before.

Are you awake?

What's this?

What's this?

Just sleep. It was only a dream.

- Boo.

Boo.

Boo!

What are you doing?

Huh?

Are you insane?

Shut up.

- Shut up with that sound.

- Kasper?

What are you doing?

Kasper?

Kasper?

Shh. Shh.

Kasper.

Kasper!

What're you doing?

Open the f***ing door!

Give me my child!

Give me my child.
