:37:01
l won't be a minute.
:37:03
ln any case,
you should have time...

:37:07
to discuss this without me
before you make a decision.

:37:23
l did everything a loving father
of a drug addict...

:37:25
is supposed to do.
:37:27
l sent her to the best
hospitals, the best doctors.

:37:31
Two weeks later,
she'd be out on the street.

:37:33
The next time l saw her would be
a phone call for money:

:37:37
money for school, money
for some new kind of therapist,

:37:41
money for a plane ticket home.
:37:43
''Oh, Daddy,
please let me come home.

:37:45
''l need to see you.''
:37:46
But she never came home.
:37:49
l was always at the airport,
but she was never there.

:37:55
Had 10 years of this,
10 years of lies.

:37:59
Wondering what would happen
if l didn't send the money.

:38:03
Kicking down doors,
:38:05
dragging her out of
rat-infested apartments.

:38:09
Explaining to somebody,
:38:10
that couldn't possibly
be my daughter...

:38:12
that they saw in a porn flick.
:38:20
Enough rage and helplessness,
:38:22
and your love turns
to something else.

:38:28
What does it turn to?
:38:35
lt turns to steaming piss.
:38:51
They just had supper.
:38:52
-Yeah? Was it good?
-All right, be good.

:38:55
Was it good? Of course.
l'll be back before 9:00.
