Clara's eyes were
wild with fear,

:06:04
and fear was contagious.
:06:10
l was a better actor,
that's all.

:06:16
And Zoe...
:06:19
loved us equally then.
:06:26
Just as she hates us
both equally now.

:06:33
Anyway, the doctor said
to hold her on my lap...

:06:36
and let Clara drive
to the hospital.

:06:39
He asked me to bring
a small, sharp knife.

:06:42
lt had to be clean.
:06:44
There was no time
to sterilize properly.

:06:49
He explained how to perform
an emergency tracheotomy...

:06:56
how to cut into her throat
without her bleeding to death.

:06:59
He said there would be blood.
l didn't think l could do it.

:07:03
He said, ''Mr. Stephens...''
:07:08
''lf her breathing stops,
you will have to.''

:07:11
''You'll have about
a minute and a half,

:07:13
''and she'll probably be
unconscious when you do it.''

:07:18
''But if you manage to keep her
calm and relaxed...''

:07:26
''and not let her little heart
beat too fast...''

:07:32
''and spread
the poison around...''

:07:35
''you might just
make it here first.

:07:38
''Now, you get going,'' he said,
and he hung up.

:07:47
lt was an unforgettable drive.
:07:54
l was...divided into two parts.
:07:58
One part was daddy, singing
a lullaby to his little girl...
