Ville-Marie Page #3

No, I didn't...

I didn't want him.

It's like you never

do the right thing.

I'm sorry.

You're lucky.

Your son is alive.

Yours too.

Good luck.

He woke up half an hour ago.

You mustn't tire him.

He may have memory loss at first.

You have a good son.

He's built strong.

I'm here now.

Do you remember what happened?

A restaurant...

My birthday.

You gave me a box.

My father...

You wouldn't say.

Then it goes blank.

You never thought not knowing

might be a lesser evil?

I'd gone to have an abortion.

The doctor asked if I was ready.

I panicked.

I couldn't do it.

Remember when you were six?

You said your father was a spy.

An astronaut.

I said he was an astronaut.

Your father was neither.

You weren't conceived in love.

Just the opposite.

You have his eyes,

his hands,

his mouth...

the same voice as him.

What are you saying?

There was no consent involved.

He paid dearly

to erase you from his life.

If you still want to know,

it's in the box.

Open it or throw it away.

You need to sleep.

I'll stay with you.

I love you.

Attention, code blue, room 416.

His heart. Move back.

Thomas, are you with me?

Stay with me, do you hear?

He's having an attack.

Careful, shock!

Hi, I saw your ad in the paper.

I wanted to ask about

the 2-bedroom you're renting...

Hold on, I have another call.

Hello?

Yes.

Who is this?

Where?

No,I...

I'm not far.

OK, I'm on my way.

Yes, hi. Sorry, can I call you back

in an hour?

Yes, Marie. Marie Santerre.

Thanks, bye.

Meeting your boyfriend?

Yeah, to finish

what we started yesterday.

Could you give me a lift?

Hello.

Hi.

You must be Marie.

Yes.

I found your number in his phone.

I didn't know who to call.

I figured since

he mentions you so often...

Pierre?

Pierre, wake up.

Usually I don't mind,

but with all the blood...

How much did he drink?

- Not much.

What do I owe you?

No worries. He'll settle next time.

Take care of him.

He's not a bad guy.

He got dealt a few unlucky hands.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Get up, on your feet.

C'mon.

See you.

Here.

Thanks.

Working tonight?

No.

Want me to call to ask how he is?

- No.

Lemme see.

Wait.

What do you have planned?

I'm driving out to visit my son.

Can I come with you?

Sure.

Feeling OK?

Better, yeah.

You ready?

We're never ready for that.

Paradise Boulevard,

scene 89, shot 1, 1.

Framed.

In 3,2,1...

Action!

Hello, you.

There'll only be the two of us.

That's enough, you'll see.
