Hey Jessica, are you sending me the Jackson file?
I have to take a look at it tonight,
OK thanks, See you tomorrow,
What are you doing here? -We need to talk,
Don't drop by unexpectedly,
I called you, but you never pick up,
What's the matter?
It's Nicholas, -Something happened?
Yes,
So tell me,
This afternoon, the school called me,
The director wanted to talk to me,
He told me that Nicholas has been
out of school for almost a month,
What?
For weeks, he's been pretending to go,
How so? -I explain to you,
He's been out of school for almost a month and you haven't noticed anything?
He left with his bag and everything he needed,
Like before, but he wasn't going, -And the school, then?
They say they sent me lots of emails that I never received,
What was he doing with his days? -No idea,
He barely answers my questions,
Beth, sorry, Kate came to tell me about Nicholas,
He hasn't been to school for a month,
It's not just that, Peter,
He is not feeling right,
You have to talk to him, I do not know what to do,
He needs you, You can't give it up,
I don't give it up, Why do you say that?
The other day,,,
,,,I asked him,,,
,,,to bring your plate or something like that,
He looked at me,,,
,,,with,,,
,,,so much hate,
I thought he was going,,,
What?
He scares me, okay?
OK, I'll,,,
I'll go see him tomorrow,,,
,,,at the end of the day,
THANKS,
They favor sustainable development,,,
,,,so the acquisition of this company will go with our ecological strategy,
Their action in favor of the environment is recognized,
A merger with them will improve their reputation and ours,
Perfect, I have enough info,
I'll see with Jeffrey if they want to commit,
Perfect, -THANKS,
After you,
I'll let you know as soon as it's done, -THANKS,
THANKS,
What are you doing here? -How are you? Am I bothering you?
How's it going? -GOOD,
I came because,,,
,,,I want to talk to you, Do you have a moment?
OK,
Your mom told me you weren't going to school,
What is going on?
Nothing,
I know it's not going very well and that you're angry with me,
But we can still talk to each other,
Why don't you go to school anymore? -I don't know,
You do not know?
You can't stop going to school like that,
You have problems?
Why are you sighing?
For nothing, -There must be a reason,
Explain to me,
I do not wanna talk about it,
I can't help you if you don't tell me,
What have you been doing all this time? Where you went?
I walked,
Did you walk? All alone?
Yes,
Why, Nicholas?
Do you find that acceptable? Your exams are coming up,
The school is considering expelling you,
Your mother is at her wit's end, you know that?
Do you want her to send you to boarding school? -No,
So react, You can't go on like this,
I can't do anything anymore,
How so? Did something happen at school?
No,
Or outside of school?
Come on, let's talk,
It's not that,
It is,,,
I don't know how to describe it,
Use your own words,
That's life,
She weighs me down,
What are you having trouble with? -I don't know,
I want it to change, but I don't know what,
That's why I sometimes think to myself that maybe,,,
Tell me,
I want to go live with you,
At my house? -Mom and I,,,
,,,We do not get along,
She can't stand me anymore,
And when I'm here,,,
,,,I have too many dark thoughts,
And I want to live with my little brother,
In boarding school, I'll go crazy, -But no,
If I tell you,
It's like my head is exploding,
Come here,
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, dad,
What are you talking about? -I assure you,
I don't know what is happening to me,
Don't worry, honey, We will find a solution,
Trust me,
Hi, it's Kate, Leave a message,
Hi it's me, I just spoke to him,
You can call me back? THANKS,
Why are you reacting like this?
How? -He can take the back room,
And school?
We will manage,
It should be able to resume in the middle of the year,
Yes surely,
You've only known him for two years,
I know you have a negative impression of him after
everything that's happened, But it wasn't always like that,
When he was younger, he was so,,,
When I saw him today, he had,,,
,,,brands,
Brands? -Scars, On his arm,
I felt so bad,
He's my little boy,
It's true, You're right,
I feel guilty,
It's not like I wasn't responsible,
I left,
It's not your fault if he feels bad,
He is going through a difficult time,
I don't think I have a choice,
I can't give it up,
OK I understand,
Do not worry, I understand,
You should talk to a doctor about those scars,
I know,
You're ready? -Yes,
You don't want,,, - No, thank you,
Then yes,
And don't forget, you can always,,,
I know, Thanks Mom, -When you want to,
But don't think it's because of,,, -I know,
I know what you mean, Do not worry,
OK,
Call me,
Oh wait,
I almost forgot, -What?
A banana cake,
Thanks Mom,
I like you,
Hey, do you have everything you need? -Yes,
Did you find the towel that Beth brought out for you?
Good, Ok I leave you,
I'm going to bed,
I am very happy that you are here, I missed you,
Beth was okay with me moving in here?
Of course, We're both glad you're here,
It is also your house,
OK? Come on, go to bed, It's late,
Good night,
Good night Daddy,
Dr, Collins, this is Peter Miller, Sorry to call your cell,
I wanted to tell you about my son, Nicholas,
I think he needs to see a therapist,
Do you know a good one?
If you could call me back, THANKS,
Am I bothering you? - No, come in,
Tell me,
Is it true you're thinking of going to Washington?
News travels fast, -He's in the primaries, right?
What exactly is he offering you?
To join the campaign team?
He didn't say anything specific, but,,,
OK, I'll let you work, But let me know as soon as you know more,
Of course,
Everything okay at home? -What?
Perfect,
Thank you, Andrew,
It's here,
Hello, just a moment to introduce you to Nicholas,
He joins us today,
I know you will welcome him warmly,
Hello Nicholas, I am Mr, Yama, I teach history,
Welcome, Sit down and come see me after class,,,
,,,for more details,
Fine, then I'm going,
As I told you, and note it:
,,,the division of power,,,
,,,between national and state governments,
In 1776, when the Declaration of Independence,,,
,,,the independent states behaved like a feuding family,
They all wanted sovereignty, It's what?
Absolute power,
This is the original plan?
Hello, old man, How are you? -Well and you?
Oh, you know, Are you coming to see the boss?
That's good, he's in a good mood,
Do you still live in New York? -Yes,
How is your father?
It seems that he had health problems?
Oh yes, Not really, Everything's good,
Good, We haven't seen him for a while,
Say hi to him from me, -All right,
See you soon,
You can come,
This way,
THANKS, - Peter, how are you?
Happy to see you, I present to you two of our employees,
Nicholas, it's me,
I wanted to know how it went today,
Call me, I like you,
Dad
Nicholas, are you ready?
You have to go there,
I made you a coffee, You still have time to drink it,
Nicholas, you're going to be late,
I called you at least ten times,
You can't do this every morning,
Why are you not responding? -I have answered you,
It's time, You must leave, -I know,
Theo didn't wake you up last night? -No,
You are very lucky,
You are like your father, Nothing wakes him up,
Rather than 'sleep like a baby',,,
,,,we should say 'sleep like a man',
Where is he?
He is already gone, He had a meeting very early,
Your coffee, You have five minutes,
What's the matter? -Nothing,
You are hurt?
It's not that,
Are you unhappy?
Why are you unhappy? -I dunno,
You do not know,
Does this happen to you often?
To cry like that? -I do not cry,
Either way, I have to go,
Can I ask you a question?
Yes of course,
When you met dad did you know he was married?
You knew it?
Yes,
But he immediately told me that,,, -What?
Maybe you should talk to him about it instead,
When he left, it was very hard for my mother,
She really suffered,
She said horrible things about him,
And yet, I continued to adore him,
It's as if I was cut in two,
I understand,
It's a difficult situation,
And that didn't stop you,
Pardon?
You knew he was married and had a son, It didn't stop you,
What do you want me to tell you, Nicholas?
Nothing, It's stupid, as a question,
No, it's not stupid, -I have to go, See you,
See you,
Hi Nicholas, It's me,
I just wanted to give you a hug,
I hope you're well,
I was hoping we could see each other,
Do stuff,
Call me back, I miss you,
If we can prove them,,,
,,,that they should never have taken the first step,,,
,,,then it is doable,
It's a question of balance of power,
Yes? -Excuse me,
Is this what you were looking for?
THANKS, Did you find this in the archives?
Good job,
You need something else? -Thank you so much,
It will be very useful to us,
Who is this? -Who?
The new intern, A French, Very clever,
For what? -Just like that,
OK see you tomorrow,
Peter, it's me,
Listen, I don't want to bother you,,,
,,,but I haven't heard from Nicholas,
I left messages, but he didn't call me back,
SO,,,
We can talk?
THANKS,
Nice jacket, -THANKS,
Go for it,
How's your new school doing?
How are you,
You don't feel very close to people your age?
No,
For what? - They are stupid,
They just want to party and have fun,
All that does not interest me,
What are you interested in?
What? -No nothing,
Anyway, It is better now,
You don't like your age?
That's not what I,,,
Good morning, -Good morning sir,
She's there, THANKS,
Excuse my delay, -Nevermind,
I know you are very busy, Especially now,
You must be delighted,
What do you want to drink? -I don't know, And you?
Sparkling water, thank you,
I'll have a martini,
In this case, two martinis, -Alright,
So how are you? -I'm doing well,
He started at his new school and he likes it,
That's great, -I had to push him a bit at first,
But he feels better, He's on the right track, I think,
He told you what happened at his old school?
No, he doesn't say much,
Where can this sadness come from?
He's a teenager,
Have you ever seen a teenager beaming with happiness?
It's more than that,
He is different from the others,
Why do you say that?
In my opinion, it is a disappointment in love,
Maybe, He's so romantic,
Who can he get that from?
So,
THANKS, -Great, thank you,
Health,
And otherwise,,,
Beth? - Yes, how does she see that?
You can talk to me,
OK?
At first, she was a little,,, - Reluctant, I imagine,
Not really, A little disturbed,
Because of the baby, She was already tired,
And there, we have a teenager at home, -I understand,
But overall it's going well,
It is not too difficult with it?
No, he's doing well, He makes an effort,
He likes living with his little brother,
Great,
Yes, I think that at this level, it will be fine,
Kate, what is it?
Nothing, Sorry,
I didn't mean to hurt you,
I know,
I feel like I missed everything,
What are you talking about? You haven't missed anything,
Excuse me,
I never thought he would leave,
Him too,
To go live with you, -Me neither,
He asked me,
But the problem started with me, -No,
Yes, He doesn't want to live with me anymore, He doesn't even pick up when I call,
Come on, You just have to give it some time,
I am very sorry, -No worries,
A few days ago
I found this photo of him,
When we went to Corsica, do you remember?
When I look at this picture
I have a stroke in my heart,
We rented that little boat, remember?
Yes of course,
It's the summer you taught him to swim,
His face,,,
,,,is so open,
Like a little ray of sunshine,
My little sunshine,
When you think about it,,,
,,,there was so much joy in our family,
I do not know what happened,
I loved him so much,
And you too,
I loved you so much, Peter,
If you knew how much I loved you,
Come on, don't worry,
You are a wonderful mother,
It's not your fault he's having a hard time,
Everything will soon return to normal,
Yes, I assure you, Trust me, Kate,
Everything will be alright,
You think?
How are you? -Yes, Not too soon,
He takes his time, - I almost fell asleep myself,
THANKS, How nice,
You had a good day?
Yes, nothing special,
I went to see the pediatrician,
Otherwise we just stayed home,
And you?
What? -What?
Why do you look so smug?
What is this?
Is this your way of apologizing? - This is to thank you,
For what? -You know it very well,
They are very beautiful,
I am well aware,,,
I'm just grateful for the way you handle it,
It's your way of apologizing,
I'm lucky to have you here,
Yes, because you are not there often,
You are always in the office,
Not all the time,
Dad, can I talk to you for a moment? -Yes of course,
Am I disturbing you, -No, Tell me,
It's not urgent, I just wanted to ask your advice,
Can you come see me later?
OK, -Great,
THANKS,
He seems to be getting better, right?
He got top marks in math,
Ah good? -Yes, that's great,
He regains his confidence,
And he was invited to a party,
Great,
It worries me that he's always alone,
But hey, it went well, -What?
At the pediatrician, With Theo,
Ah yes, what did she say? -Like you,
It will pass him, He will soon be sleeping,
But meanwhile,,,
,,,I'm going to cook before I fall asleep on the sofa,
No it's OK, I go,
Hey, Theo, Come here,
Everything's good,
SO?
I dunno, -It fits you well,
That's nice of you, but,,, - What?
Is it suitable for my age, the jackets?
Of course, Everyone wears them now,
Really? -Yes, it really suits you,
It's French,
Put it on your party, Is it next Saturday?
I don't know if I will go,
Go ahead, You have to see people,
I don't know how to dance,
That is the problem?
What?
It's us,
He is sleeping, -Oh sorry,
Where were you? -Teach him to dance,
She's an excellent dancer, -Very funny,
You can talk, you, - He can't dance?
Let's say he has his own style,
It's my style,
I met your father at a wedding,
He did his famous sway,
You don't know his sway? -No,
Teach him to dance, He is going to a party,
Look well,
What are you doing?
Come on, -Let's go,
Come on, -No no,
Come on,
It's really a good idea?
Won't you show us?
I don't want to wake Theo, -Come on, dad,
Okay,
But at your own risk,
The face he makes,
Do you see why I fell in love? -Normal,
I am irresistible,
When it starts, everyone stops,
He must be the center of attention,
How are you doing that?
No idea,
Come, I'll show you,
It's so,,, -It's like that, Ready?
Fingers, knee,
My God no, -It's good, Do this at your party,
My God, not another,
Now there are two,
You are going to make a mess,
Look at this, It's my son,
Ok, I'm coming,
It was under his mattress,
Sorry, I preferred to tell you,
Do you think he continues,,,
I don't understand,
It seems to go,
He goes to school, he smiles, he is better,
So why is he doing this?
The easiest way is to talk to him about it, right?
Maybe with his shrink,
OK,
You leave? - Yes, a little walk in the sun,
Don't worry, It's still a little fragile,
But he knows he can count on you,
I'm sure it will,
You think?
Where were you? -For what?
There is a problem? -Yes,
Why are you hiding a knife under your mattress?
There was a knife under your mattress, What was he doing there?
Nothing, -What about nothing'?
Just in case,
In case what?
I dunno, In case of burglary or,,,
Show me your arm,
What? - Show me your arm,
Leave me alone,
Why are you doing this?
I don't want you to hurt yourself, You understand?
I don't hurt myself,
Look at these scars, You hurt yourself,
It's the contrary, -How so?
Nothing, - No, explain to me,
Explain to me, Nicholas,
It relieves me,
Enough to?
What relieves you?
When I'm in pain,,,
,,,it's a mean,,,
,,,to channel the pain,
But what pain?
To channel what pain?
I want you to stop this,
I forbid you, is that clear?
It's clear? -Yes,
There are things we don't do,
Beth found it? -Never mind,
Why is she going through my stuff? -She was making your bed,,,
,,,since you never do,
You took a knife to,,, -First it was to defend myself,
Defend yourself against what? That does not make any sense,
You have a rifle, -What?
In the utility room, behind the washing machine,
It was a gift,
Who gave you a gun?
My father, A long time ago,
It's a shotgun,,,
,,,it's not to defend myself,
Why did he give you a shotgun?
Maybe to do something together,
I have never used it, I hate hunting,
So why are you keeping it? - We weren't talking about that,
I don't understand why you are doing this,
I know,
What happened at your old school?
Maybe it's time to tell me, right?
Something must have happened or else,,,
If you don't want to talk to me about it, talk to your shrink,
Please, this is important,
It'll be OK,
I'll get some disinfectant, - No, it's just scratches,
When you hurt yourself,,,
,,,it's like you did it to me,
And when you hurt mom, you hurt me,
Hello everybody, Sit down,
Thanks for coming,
We have the best of you today,
Steve, will you bring me a coffee?
We have a lot to discuss,
Let's review the topics already discussed,
The first item on the agenda is health,
Dad, are there whales around here?
Whales? -Yes,
No, I do not think so,
And dolphins? -Yes, we see it sometimes,
Have you seen one?
Dad, quick, -What?
My hat,
THANKS, Good day,
You are ahead,
Hello dad, - Hello, come in,
You want to drink a glass? -Yes why not,
GOOD,
Ice cubes? -No,
No ice cubes,
To what do I owe the honor of this spontaneous visit?
I was in Washington and wanted to see how you were doing,
Don't listen to rumours,
It was just a little discomfort,
I have never been so fit, -GOOD,
Maria made us something for lunch,
Duck, How are you? -Alright,
Health,
Welcome,
The problem is that people are afraid,
Look around you, Whining cowards,
We no longer dare to take risks,
This is why the West is doomed,
I've been saying it for years and the facts are starting to prove it,
For energy, courage and entrepreneurial spirit,,,
,,,sorry, but for that you have to go to Asia,
It won't be in Washington anymore,,,
,,,but in China, in Beijing,
No thank you, Maria, That was delicious, -You are welcome,
No thanks,
SO,,,
I thought you hated this town, What are you doing around here?
I had an appointment with Brian Hammer,
He is running for election, -I know,
He wants me to help him with his campaign,
He wants you on his team? -Yes,
I don't know yet if I will accept,
Why not?
It would take me too long, -So what?
So it's complicated,
What is complicated? -It is not the good moment,
Nicholas is going through a rough patch, He is 17 years old,
He lives with me and is doing better, but he is still a little fragile,
I don't want to be far if,,,
What?
You came to tell me what a good father you are?
Apparently so, You give me irrefutable proof,,,
,,,of your moral superiority, That's it?
You came to show me,,,
,,,that you can give up your ambitions for your son,
Unlike me, -No way,
Do you still think about it? Really?
You blame me for what happened,,,
,,,40 years ago?
Are you still trying to show me what an exemplary father you are?
What do you want? Applause? Cheer,
It's funny you say that,
The other day I thought about that time when I was Nicholas' age,
When mom was sick,
I went to see her at the hospital every day after school,,,
,,,and you never passed,
You were traveling all the time, -I worked,
But the week before he died, I met Tom,,,
,,,who told me he had dinner with you the night before,
I didn't even know you were in town,
Couldn't you have gone to see her?
Listen, I want to play the role of the monster,,,
,,,which does not reach your perfection,
Yes, you have suffered a lot,
And your dad wasn't nice to you and your mom, OK,
So what?
It's time to grow up, Because it hurts to see,
A 50-year-old man clinging to his teenage years,
If you want my opinion, Peter,,,
,,,you should forget about all that, damn it,
Forget all that, damn it, Please,
Excuse me,
Hello, Harry,
The meeting is at four o'clock,
Yes, not at half past four,
How are you?
Yes,
Don't you want to go out? -On the contrary,
Do you eat cereal? -Yes,
Don't you have anything better to do? It's Saturday night,
Go to the cinema? Meet friends?
I have no friends,
Why do you say that? -Because it's true,
You often saw Michael,
And this party? -Ok daddy, Can you stop now?
I can? -Yes,
I almost never eat it,
Ready?
GOOD,
Hold on, I'm not ready,
It's horrible, It sticks, Ready?
You got it? -No,
Have you seen my curls? I had them in my hand,
In the bathroom? - I looked everywhere,
I don't understand, I'm losing my mind,
Haven't you seen them? -What?
Those curls your father gave me,
I had them in my hand,
I lose stuff all the time,
Did you change your dress?
This one suits you well, -THANKS, How nice,
No it is true, You're very beautiful,
Where are you going? -We're just going to have dinner with friends,
Do you know Frank? -No,
I say 'just', but it's quite particular,
It's our first outing since Theo was born,
If you want to have a life, don't have children,
I'm kidding,
Bad news, Sarah is not coming,
What? - She just called,
At the last minute? - Yes, she has a fever,
Who is Sara? -The babysitter,
I call Jenny? -She is not free,
My God, For once we could go out,
Call Frank and cancel?
I can take care of him, -You?
Do you think you can? - Yes, if it suits you,
That's really nice of you, but it's better,,,
Are you sure? - Yes, we better cancel,
OK nevermind,
What?
Do not look at me like that, -Why did you refuse?
You do not see? -No, he can keep his little brother,
I don't know, It's a baby and,,, -And what?
You always see the dark side of things,
It's always better than not seeing anything at all,
What do you mean? -Nothing,
Tell me what I don't see,
Do you really think he can't keep his brother?
You know he's depressed and unstable,
I won't leave my son with a,,, -A what?
Go ahead, say it,
He is weird, You're not going to deny it,
His gaze is disturbing,
When are you going to see that it's not right, in his head?
Nicholas, What are you,,, Sorry, we were,,,
We're just disappointed to have to cancel, It's not your fault,
They were in the hallway,
Nicholas, please,,,
Nicholas, what the,,, Are you okay?
Your dad told me you like your new school,
Not true?
He told me that things were going well at home,
I was hoping that,,,
But in fact, there is no place for me,
I bother them more than anything,
And he puts so much pressure on me, -Your father?
He doesn't realize,,,
,,,but he keeps talking about my homework,
As if there was only that in life,
It's normal, He worries about you,
No, he doesn't give a damn about me,
Who I really am, He just wants me to succeed, like him,
But I don't want to study law or become a lawyer,
It does not interest me,
You dreamed of becoming a writer,
Are you still writing?
I will never be up to it,
What are you talking about?
Your father wants what's best for you,
He loves you, He believes in you,
You are just very different,
They are putting pressure on him with this primary story,
And that's important to him,
He's been dreaming about it for years,
But,,,
There is not just that,
I'm not well, mom,
Your dad told me you broke up with a girl,
That's what I told him,
He didn't understand,,,
,,,and wanted a rational explanation, You know him,
So I told him what he wanted to hear,,,
,,,but I've never dated that girl,
I am not like the others,
I feel like I'm not cut out for this life,
I can not do it anymore,
Even though I try every day with all my might,
But I can't do it anymore,
Because I'm in pain,
All the time,
And I'm tired,
I'm tired of being in pain,
I am the,
I am here and I will not leave you,
I will help you out, I promise you,
Don't cry, my sunshine,
It'll be OK,
What?
Today? Was it really him?
Come here, I want to talk to you,
What's the matter? -Sit down,
We need to talk, -Enough to?
From your school,
What is happening?
Nothing in particular, For what? -Nothing in particular?
No, - Didn't you have an exam today?
It was? -Yes I think,
GOOD,
Beth was at the park today and she saw you there,
So you weren't in school,
So for the last time: what's going on?
Are you still skipping class? -No,
So why weren't you in school?
Why did she tell you that? -Never mind,
Yes, it pits us against each other,
No, the problem is that you're lying to me,
Why did you skip school today?
I listen,
I did not feel well,
I couldn't get there,
This exam put too much pressure on me, Sorry,
You are sorry,
I called the school, Do you know what they told me?
That you never went back there,
You were there the first day, last month,,,
,,,and you never went back,
Never again, Not once,
According to an e-mail sent by me, you were sent back to your old school,
Nothing to say?
Have you become a professional hacker?
You lied to me about your good grades and those party invitations,
What have you been doing all these days? Did you walk?
That's it?
We help you get out of it and what do you do?
You do exactly the same thing, You lie to us,
Explain that to me,
What's the matter?
Do you do drugs?
So explain to me,
I don't know what to do with you anymore, I tell you honestly,
I tried to listen to you and support you,
I tried to stimulate you and give you confidence in yourself, But in vain,
Do you really think you can live like this?
Do what you want, skip class?
Take no responsibility refuse to grow?
What are you going to do with your life? What will you become?
Of course, you don't have an answer,
Stop staring at me like that,
Are you trying to intimidate me?
It won't work, I tell you, Not with me,
OK, I'll tell you what's gonna happen,
Starting tomorrow, whether you like it or not,,,
,,,you go back to school, It's clear? -No,
I will not go back to school,
What do you want, Nicholas?
At your age, my mother was sick,
I no longer saw my father, I was penniless,
But I fought, Most of the time it was not easy,
What's so serious in your life,,,
,,,so you can't go to school? Answer,
I can't, -I don't understand,
I can't live, And it's your fault,
Pardon?
It's your fault, -What did I do wrong?
You disgust me, -What are you saying?
All that talk about life and work,,,
,,,and you let us down like shit,
You think you always do the right thing,,,
,,,but you're just an asshole,
Take back what you just said, Right away,
Asshole, -Me?
I'm an asshole? I haven't always done everything for you?
I stayed years with your mother for you, so why you say that?
Because I fell in love with another woman?
It's none of your business, I have the right to rebuild my life,
It's my life,
Excuse me, Nicholas, I do not know what happened,
I'm looking for the psychiatric department, -At the end to the left,
You are here since a long time?
A half hour, They told me they would see us soon,
What happened?
I was not there, I was at work,
It is,,,
It was Beth who found it, in the bathroom,
We were lucky, The ambulance arrived very quickly,
I'm sorry,
I am really sorry, I wanted to help her so much,,,
,,,and in the end,,,
Doctor, -Yes hello,
I am Dr, Leiner, I take care of your son,
Where is Nicholas? -He is resting,
He's out of danger, I assure you,
We quickly treated him and the cut was not deep,,,
,,,so she should be healing well,
Are you really sure? - Yes, trust me,
We have to make some decisions,
I just spoke to him, -What did he say?
He wasn't happy to wake up here, This is completely normal,
Did he discuss what prompted him to,,,
We are used to such situations,
It's important that Nicholas remains under observation,
You mean,,, - We have a free seat here,
You said he was out of danger,
We want him to realize,,,
,,,of his gesture, He tends to minimize, It seems dangerous to me,
We wouldn't want him to do it again,
How long should he stay here?
We must be able to observe it and treat it,
After that, he will see the psychiatrist regularly,,,
,,,so that we can evaluate it, -I want to see my son,
A moment,
Sorry, I have to go up, The social worker,,,
,,,will help you with admission,
She can answer all your questions,
Do not worry, He is in very good hands,
And this one? -It's a constellation,
Do you see those stars? -It's rare?
Quite rare, -And this one?
It's Saturn,
With rings around,
To fart,
Mom gets impatient,
Let's go? - Wait, dad,
It's holey, -How are we going to do this?
You will have to swim,
I can not, I'm just six and a half,
This is the right time to learn,
You can do it,
Come on,
I stay with you,
Come on, my chick,
Come on,
What have you decided?
I postpone the meeting to Monday morning?
When are you leaving for Washington?
Next Monday? No I can not,
I have to stay in New York,
So I cancel Washington?
Yes,
THANKS,
Peter, it's me, Do you have a moment?
Yes everything is fine?
I just got a call from Dr, Harris,
I wanted to discuss it with you,
There is a problem?
According to him, we would do better,,,
,,,to not see Nicholas for a few days,
I know,
Nicholas seems to be struggling,,,
,,,to accept the treatment,
They had long conversations,,,
,,,to try to understand why he,,,
Apparently he talked a lot about the divorce,
About your new life and all the tensions between you and me,
Dr, Harris thinks it's best to give them a few days,
So that everyone has a little perspective,
Let the pressure drop,
He can't stop us from seeing Nicholas,
He asks, that's all, It doesn't require anything,
We still have Monday,
We have our date to see how things are going,
I don't know, Waiting for,,,
I know how difficult it is,
It is for me too,,,
,,,but let's trust them,
Do not you think?
To fart?
Are you ready?
What time does the flight leave? - The taxi will arrive in 5 minutes,
I'll take your suitcase down, -Never mind,
Listen,,,
Sorry for last night,
I had drunk too much,
I don't understand why we are arguing,
I know, It's my fault, Sorry,
And,,,
And you can't come?
Sorry, Beth, I can't,
I can't leave knowing that there,
Just for two days,
You look terrible and there's nothing you can do here,
I can't,
When is it coming out?
I don't know, I will know more on Monday, -And after?
I hope I will be a better father for Theo,
Stopped, You are an excellent father,
I have to play a role that I deeply hate,
Over the past few weeks, I've surprised myself,,,
,,,to say things that my father said to me,
Things that made me really hate him,
And now it's my turn,
I feel like I have become like him,
What kind of things?
'What are you going to do with your life?'
'When I was your age, I did this and I did that,'
'What are we going to do with you?'
If you knew how ashamed I am,,,
Sorry,
We have to go there,
Before you leave, tell me,,,
,,,that you forgive me for yesterday,
I just want us to stop arguing like that,
Me too,
The last few weeks have been,,, -I know,
No, you don't know because you're not here,
You are still at work,
And I'm here, all alone, -But no,
Yes, I'm alone and I'm just,,,
I'm so tired,
There's Theo, your other son, He also needs you,
Let's not do this again, okay?
OK,
I'll call you when we arrive,
Come here, little man,
Give me a hug,
A week without seeing you, I'll miss you,
You will discover the sea,
You will see how big and beautiful it is,
Say hello to grandma, okay?
Sorry for not being able to come,
I really have to stay here, you understand?
You tell me everything, okay?
You tell me, little man,
Mom,
You missed me so much,
It felt like months, -We are here now,
I'll leave you with your parents for a moment, as agreed,
In the meantime, I'll get the doctor, okay?
Hey, how are you?
My dear,
It's horrible, Get me out of here, -What's wrong?
It was the worst week of my life, It's hell,
Don't leave me in hell, - We'll talk to the doctor about it,
He's an asshole, He does not understand anything,
He stuffs me with meds and thinks I'm sick,
He wants to keep me here for weeks, I won't make it,
It's worse here than at home, I need you,
Take me home, I beg you,
Calm down, We'll talk to the doctor,
We are here with you,
I'm so happy to see you,
Good morning,
Doctor,
Let's all sit down,
Sit next to me, Nicholas,
I asked Michael, who takes care of Nicholas,,,
,,,to join us,
OK, -Perfect,
I think Nicholas told you,,,
,,,that he wanted out of the hospital,
That's what he told me too,
The last few days have been difficult for him,
Yes really, For what?
It's common the first week, -I want to go,
I understand that you want to go home,,,
,,,but I don't recommend it,
You see? -Why not?
Nicholas suffers from severe depression,
It's safer for him if he stays in the hospital,
I'm better, I want to go home, It will be fine,
That's what you think, but in my experience,,,
You see? He knows everything better, -Calm down,
I'm calm, but this moron doesn't understand anything,
Please, my darling,
Nicholas, please, Sit down,
What do you propose? -It just takes time,
Suicidal impulses are difficult to recognize,
Even for the patient,,,
,,,but we can't pretend they don't exist,
Second attempts are very common,
I think Nicholas,,,
,,,is still cut off from reality,,,
,,,which makes him anxious,
We can treat that,
We have to stabilize it first,,,
,,,and then we can talk about its release,
And when would that be? -Mom,,,
I ask, that's all,
Now, you need all the doctors' attention,,,
,,,therapists, project managers,
Do you think the pottery will cure me?
It helps the process,
What bullshit, - Could it be good for you?
Good? How could I be better,,,
,,,among people sicker than me?
I thought a lot, On my life, All those hours when I do nothing,
I understand some things that I will no longer do,
My stay here was like an electric shock,
I am ready to resume a normal life,
I can go back to school, I feel it,
But you have to trust me,
And you have to get me out of here, or else,,,
,,,I'm going to sink,
Really, I won't bear it,
Dad,,,
,,,do you know me,
I know it, Always,
But here, that is not the case,
I'm begging you, dad, Do not abandon me,
Oh, my darling,
What is the procedure to get it out?
As a minor, it is your responsibility,
The decision is up to you,
But listen carefully to what I am telling you,
Your son is in no condition to leave here,
If you sign, he can go home,,,
,,,but in my opinion, you are taking a big risk,
What risk?
A risk I would never take with my son,
You can't force me to stay, - Actually, yes,
But a judge has to agree and I prefer not to,
I'd rather help your parents make the right decision,
I know it's not easy, especially in front of your son,
But Nicholas must follow a treatment and it is not the role of the parents,
It is that of a psychiatrist, - Dad, I'm not sick,
If we make the right decision together,,,
,,,Nicholas will return home earlier and healthier,
To live a normal life,
Mom, I want to go home, -I know, darling,
Don't leave me here, Please, You must give me a second chance,
It was a cry for help, And I'm really sorry,
You just need to understand my pain,,,
,,,but I will never do it again,
Your parents heard your arguments,
I ask you to make a decision, -There?
Yes, Nicholas must understand,,,
,,,that you support the medical team,
Don't feel guilty,
We know you love your son, But you have to protect it,
In this type of situation, love is not enough,
Love will not be enough,
Dad mom,,,
Nicholas, Michael is going to take you to lunch in the cafeteria,
But first, your parents have to decide in your presence,
It will help you accept your treatment,
Mom, I want to go home,
Dad, take me home, Please,
Dad, take me home,
Dad,,,
I'm sorry Nicholas,
You can't do this to me, Not you, -Calm down,
What have I done to you? Do not touch me,
Dad mom,
How are you?
I hope we made the right decision,
He said it was a cry for help, You have to trust him,
If it doesn't get better in the next few days,,,
,,,we can always bring it back,
He is better here, with us,
OK, -I'm almost ready,
OK,
How do you see,,,
,,,the situation evolve?
It seems a bit optimistic to hope,,,
,,,to go back to school, We are already in May,
Maybe he just needs to get his strength back,
And a fresh start at school next year,
What will he do with his days?
We can't leave him alone,
Maybe he can go back to living with you, If he wants,
During the day, he can come to the office as an intern,
Do you think it will interest him?
I don't know,
He will learn new things and I will be with him,
Yes, but aren't you too busy?
I'm going to turn down Brian's offer,
Really? -Yes,
I don't care about politics,
I want to focus on the most important thing, which is being here,
For Nicholas,
So,
THANKS, -How nice,
And you?
I had a coffee, To wake me up, Sugar?
Dad?
THANKS,
Thank you honey,
How are you feeling?
I'm so happy to be here, -U,S, too,
I have to take the prescription,
I was like, do you want to see a movie?
Why not? I'm going to take a shower first,
The bathrooms were so dirty,
I have been dreaming of taking a shower for a week,
What?
Why are you laughing? -Nothing,
I smell bad? -No,
I like seeing you together,
It's been ages,
I mean, all three together,
It's true,
Like the good old times,
Alright, I'm going to take a shower,
I am waiting for you,
I just wanted to say,,,
,,,that I'm really sorry for everything,
I know you don't deserve it,
I ask you to forgive me,
And I wanted to tell you that I love you,
We love you too,
Just go, We're waiting for you,
It's crazy, right? -I know,
Are you coming with us to the cinema?
That would make Nicholas so happy,
I don't know,
What movie is it?
Do you remember when we went to the cinema in the afternoon?
We said we had important meetings,,,
,,,and we met at the cinema,
I loved that, It was like skipping school,
It's been a while, huh?
Come on,
Come with us,
Come with us today,
You do not want?
What is this?
My God, Nicholas,
Nicholas, my darling, Keep your eyes open,
Peter, call someone,
Nicholas, look at mom,
Please, Keep your eyes peeled, honey,
It's good, Trust yourself, Breathe,
Like a frog, Come towards me,
OK, I'm letting you go, You can do it, Come towards me,
Keep on going, It's good,
Dad, I swim,
Yes, you swim,
You succeed,
I swim, - It's good, my boy,
I'm so proud of you, You swim, It's good, no?
We continue? Come on,
It's good, Until there,
How are you? -Yes,
I'm going to give Theo a bath,
Want me to do it? - No, I will,
Are you glad they're coming? -Yes and you?
Look at what I found,
It's been ages,
I know,
Okay, see you soon,
Can I let you finish? -Yes,
Theo?
It's time for your bath, You're ready?
Hey, already there? - Sorry, I'm a little early,
You are alone?
She comes, She had to go see her mother first,
Between,
How are you doing? -Well and you?
Well, did you come home this morning?
Yes, I already missed New York,
How's it going in Toronto? - Yes, I love this city,
You drink a glass? - No, I'm waiting for the others,
OK, sit down,
I'm going to live with Lena, Mom told you?
Ah good? -Yes,
We are almost every evening at her house or mine,
Congratulation, It's good news,
I can't wait to introduce it to you, -I can not wait to see her,
You told me so much about it,
You will see, She's great,
I'm crazy about her,
It's good,
Theo is there? - Yes, he is in his bath,
We have a present for him,
But Lena wanted to give it to him, -Nice,
I have something for you too, -For me?
It's more of a thing I wanted to talk to you about,
You make a head of it, I'm not going to be a father,
I did not think about it,
No, it's more of a thing,,,
,,,about me,
I wanted to tell you first,
Tell me,
You know that apart from my studies,,,
,,,there is something else that I love to do,
To write,
Lately I've been spending some time on it,
Especially since I live in Toronto,
Everything seems easier to me there,
Brief,,,
So, -What is this?
My first novel,
Did you write that?
I said nothing, By superstition,
Now it really exists,
I wanted to give you the first copy,
'Death can wait',
Awesome,
When does he get out? -In two months,
And if you open it, you will see that it is dedicated to you,
To my father, For all he has done for me,
It talks about things you already know,
All those tough years for you and Mom,
At least it ended well,
I wanted you to be the first to get it,,,
,,,because without you, I wouldn't be,,, - I'm so proud of you,
My big boy,
I'm so proud of you,
Read it, You may not like it, -I know you,
It is surely very beautiful,
And really,,,
I want to tell you that I'm so proud of you,
You're not going to cry, are you? -No, sorry,
I just hope it will work, -I'm sure,
Can I go give Theo a hug?
I missed him, too, -He will be happy to see you,
He always talks about his big brother,
To fart?
What are you doing?
What's the matter?
Are you thinking of Nicholas?
I should have taken more care of him,
No, you did everything you could,
I was trying to imagine,,,
He had so much talent,
And he was so smart,
And sensitive,
And,,,
He could have done so many beautiful things,
And I should have,,,
I really could have,,,
Everything is my fault,
But no, Come on,
Come here,
Calm down, I know it's hard,
I know, but life goes on, Peter,
You have Theo, And me,
And we need you,
Even though it's hard and painful, life goes on, Peter,
No, she's not continuing, She must not continue,
Yes, she continues,
Think about your little boy, Think of Theo,
He is almost four years old,
Think of him and everything will be fine,
