Woman: What's today?

- My birthday. - It is?!

- How old are you today? - Five.

- Are you excited? - Yes.

Ah, here we go. For you.

Man: Hey, Pat, looking good.

- Back up, back up. - Woman: Hit it!

- ( cheering ) - Man: That's it, kid.

Okay, Sara?

Whoo, good job.

Man: Go get the candy.

Woman: Kurt, that's enough.

Pat!

What a beautiful music box.

Kurt, sweetie, come on. Give that back to Sara.

- Kurt! - ( horn tooting )

- ( applause ) your candles.and blow out

Woman: That was mean!

- ( guests exclaim ) - Kurt!

- ( Kurt laughing ) - Okay, that is it!

Man: Sara, it's okay.

Woman: Happy birthday, sweetie.

Kurt? Kurt?

Kurt!

- ( music box playing ) - Kurt?

I know you're probably mad at Mommy,

but you know why I had to bring you up here, right?

It was not very nice, what you did to Sara.

And you're gonna have to say you're sorry.

Honey, are you okay?

Kurt, look at me.

Kurt, what's wrong?

- ( thuds ) - ( shouts )

- Sweetie, what are you doing? - ( crying )

- ( crying throughout ) throughout )playing

( thudding continues throughout )

Woman: 911, what's your emergency?

Sara: My mom's upstairs and she's hurt real bad.

Is she awake?

Can she talk to you?

She's on the floor. There's lots of blood.

- What's your name? - Sara.

- How old are you, Sara? - Five.

It's my birthday.

Sara, we're starting help for your mommy.

I need to find out what's wrong with her.

Can you tell me what's the matter with your mommy?

I don't know. She's bleeding real bad.

Okay, sweetie. with me.y on the line

An officer will be there as soon as they can.

Don't hang up, Sara. with me, okay?ne

Okay.

Sara, is your daddy home?

- He's a policeman. - Is he there?

- He's not home. in the house with you?

My brother.

- What's his name? - Kurt.

He was bad today.

Pat: WHY DID HE DO THIS?

Woman: IT'S COMPLICATED.

KURT'S MIND HAS FALLEN INTO A DEEP PSYCHOSIS,

WHICH HAS DAMAGED HIS BRAIN.

HIS MEMORIES HAVE BEEN SEVERELY REPRESSED.

IT'S KURT'S WAY OF COPING WITH--

WITH WHAT HE DID TO HIS MOTHER.

Why did you kill your mother, Kurt?

SO HE DOESN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

NO. YOUR SON APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING

FROM A RARE FORM OF DISSOCIATIVE PERSONALITY DISORDER.

KURT IS CONFUSED.

HE HAS BURIED SO MUCH OF HIS PAST

THAT HE HAS LOST HIS OWN SENSE OF IDENTITY.

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS ANYMORE.

HIS SENSE OF REALITY IS COMPLETELY DISTORTED.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HIS OWN LIFE STOPS

AND WHERE THE REST OF THE WORLD BEGINS.

IT'S AS THOUGH HIS MIND WERE--

WERE TRAPPED IN ANOTHER PLACE.

CAN YOU HELP HIM?

CAN YOU HELP BRING HIM BACK?

I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO HERE.

FAIRVIEW IS A MUCH BETTER FACILITY.

IT'S A FULL SERVICE MAXIMUM-SECURITY HOSPITAL.

WE'RE JUST NOT EQUIPPED FOR...

FOR WHAT HE MIGHT BE CAPABLE OF.

HE'LL GET THE BEST POSSIBLE TREATMENT THERE.

I KNOW.

I JUST THOUGHT THERE WAS A CHANCE HE MIGHT GET BETTER.

WE'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

HE HASN'T RESPONDED TO ANY OF THE TREATMENT.

HIS INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE HAS MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

- SO HE STILL HASN'T SPOKEN SINCE-- - NOT A WORD.

THERE ARE SOME TRANSFER PAPERS

IN MY OFFICE I WILL NEED FOR YOU TO SIGN.

- ( locks clank ) - OKAY.

- HI, HONEY. - HI.

HOW DID IT GO?

AH, ABOUT HOW I EXPECTED.

UM, THEY FELT IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE--

THEY'RE TRANSFERRING KURT TO FAIRVIEW TONIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

I'M JUST GONNA GO CHANGE.

WHERE'S SARA?

WHERE DO YOU THINK?

* OH, I JUST WANT TO BE

* WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE BE

* WHOA, AT THE SPOT

* WHOA, AT THE SPOT *

* THE SPOT, OH, I JUST WANT TO GO... *

SO IS THE CAMPING STUFF READY?

YES, IT'S IN THE GARAGE.

WHAT'S THE PLAN AGAIN?

WE'RE MEETING 00,

10, 20

30. - ( giggles )

- V, PUT THAT OUT. - WHAT?

- WHAT A DRAG? - NO NO, COME ON.

JOLENE'S DOWNSTAIRS. JUST NOT IN THE HOUSE.

OH, I KNOW YOU WANT ONE.

WELL, I KNOW YOU'LL 35,

RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME PAUL FINISHES FILLING YOU UP.

MY GOD, YOU'RE SICK.

- ( knocks ) - Jolene: ARE YOU GIRLS ALMOST FINISHED IN THERE?

- YOUR FATHER'S HOME. - YEAH, WE'RE JUST--

OH, WE'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

NOW WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU TELL HER WE'RE DOING,

SO I CAN EARN MY OSCAR NOMINATION?

WE'RE GOING TO THE MOVIES THEN WE'RE CRASHING AT YOUR HOUSE.

WONDERFUL, DARLING.

- WHAT IF SHE TRIES TO CALL? - MAKE SOMETHING UP.

OR BETTER YET, JUST DON'T ANSWER IT.

OKAY.

- HAND ME MY CLOTHES. - YES, DARLING, RIGHT AWAY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

GO LEFT.

THERE WE GO.

- OH, PFFT! - ( laughter )

PAT?

PAT?

PAT.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME. I WAS STARTING TO GET WORRIED.

VERY FUNNY.

HEY, VERONICA, CAN I HELP YOU FIND SOMETHING?

NO NO, I'M GOOD.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GUYS ARE HUNGRY, I CAN MAKE YOU SOMETHING TO EAT.

SO WHAT TIME'S THE MOVIE?

- 8:00. - 8:30.

BUT WE PROBABLY HAVE 00.

BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WE'LL GET SOMETHING WHILE WE'RE OUT.

YOU KNOW, I'D REALLY RATHER YOU ATE HERE INSTEAD OF THE JUNK AT THE THEATER.

JOLENE, WE'LL BE FINE. BESIDE WE DON'T HAVE TIME ANYWAY.

* Oooh, so fine and sexy *

* Looking good in leather and lace... *

OH MY GOD. UH...

I'M SORRY.

OKAY, LISTEN,

GARY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME.

WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH YOUR BROTHER?

V, PUT THAT AWAY. YOU SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AT THAT.

GOD, SARA, I DIDN'T KNOW.

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW FUCKED UP YOUR BROTHER WAS.

YEAH YEAH, HE WAS FUCKED UP. NOW PUT THAT AWAY BEFORE MY--

- ( door opens ) - DAD.

- I'M SORRY. - YOU JUST COULDN'T HELP YOURSELF, HUH, VERONICA?
