Know. Mum told me.

- What did she tell you?

- She told me.

- She told you?

- Yes.

- What?

- That he tried to commit suicide.

Oh, right.

How does she know about that?

Stop it.

We've been friends

a very long time, the two of us.

And your mum too...

She's been good friends with him

for a long time, too...

That's how... That's Why...

We're like a

family, with you, right?

- Sort of...

- Yeah, yeah.

A family of three.

Anyhow, the thing is,

a long time ago,

this guy was bothering your mum.

Dom beat the guy up.

And that brought them closer together.

Wasn't around then, see?

So they...

- They Went out together.

- They did?

- Mum Went outwith Dom?

- Yeah.

- How come?

- It just happened.

Those things happen.

It's life.

I'll do it again.

- Can't take 20 years here.

- Dom.

Don't Want to talk.

- Want to talk.

- Don't.

- Do.

- Shut up!

Her period was never regular but...

- Dad, drop it.

- Hold on...

- You don't need to tell me this.

- I'm not...

- What then?

- Listen.

What does her period have to do

with all that?

You'll understand in a minute.

So We Went to the gynecologist

because her breasts were hurting.

Dad!

You know Why?

She was pregnant.

So? - We'd only been

together for a month.

- Are you listening?

- Yeah.

Didn't they teach you in school?

The seed, the egg...

You know how that Works, right?

- What?

- So?

She Wasn't pregnant by me.

She was pregnant by...

by Dom.

- You get it?

- Yeah.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Don't think you do.

- Dom got her pregnant.

So What happened after that?

Get it?

She had a baby.

- Where's the baby now?

- Antonio...

- Where's the baby?

- Don't know.

You do.

The baby's you, Tonio.

Dominic is your father.

Know it's not easy, but...

Dom is your dad,

but I'm your dad too.

I'll be there for you

Whatever happens.

You're my son. Love you.

But, right now, he needs you.

Ma'm...

Time to change tables.

Alice...

don't Want you to come back.

Not you. Not Antonio. Not ever.

If you ask for a

visit, I'll say no.

Love you.

You hear me? Love you.

And nothing can change that.

What's Wrong with Antonio?

Nothing.

What did you do?

What happened with Dom?

With Dom?

What's up with them?

What did you do?

And What did you do?

- What are you talking about?

- Us.

All of us.

What did you do?

You didn't do a thing?

You've got nothing to do with it?

Dom's my best friend,

and you fall in love with him?

You've got nothing to do with that?

You never chose, Alice.

You never made a choice.

Love means having to choose.

You don't love.

You only care about yourself.

Ever thought about us?

Did you ever think about us?

All you can do is hurt.

Love isn't What you do.

It's not love.

Let go of me!

Let go.

Good luck with her!

Tonio, sit down.

Stay with your father.

We had an agreement, you bastard!

A permanent agreement!

- Get to your cell!

- Permanent! You had no right!

- On your knees.

- You had no right!

You had no right!

Calm down, Dom.

Calm down.

There, that's enough.

Come on, Dom. Take it easy.

Alice.

Is that Antonio?

Is that Antonio's music?

Alice, love you.

You and me.

Listen...

I'll take you to Buenos Aires.

We'll start over.

I'll take care of him with you.

Let go of her!

- Let go of her!

- Antonio.

- Shut up!

- What's Wrong?
