No! No!
Laura!
Life is beautiful.
Trust me, okay?
Only God can make this choice.
Trust me.
Please trust me.
Trust me.
-What is wrong with you, brat? -Get out!
Juan!
-What's wrong with you? -Juan, please!
Stop it!
Enough!
Alright, not so tough now!
Now you listen to me.
Next time, I'm coming with the cops to take my daughter!
-Idiots! -Get out!
Shut up.
How are you feeling?
How am I supposed to feel? I thought Laura was a goner.
I thought nothing could be done.
She'd have died a horrible death.
All deaths by suicide are horrible.
Most think it's their right, but life is a precious gift.
And every problem has a solution,
but we can't give in to them or to fear.
I don't think it's fear.
Sometimes you just can't find the way out.
MUCHAS GRACIAS. Thank you very much.
What for?
What do you mean? You talked Laura out of it.
-I think it was something else. -What?
Maybe it was your desperation.
She saw something in you that moved her
and kept her from hurting herself.
I've no idea what it was.
Your feelings.
Good to hear they were useful.
Right now I want you to reflect on this difficult situation.
What was on your mind? What'd you feel?
Then I want you to name every emotion.
We'll talk about it afterwards. Alright?
So Trino came to pick up Chiquis?
He became very aggressive when we didn't let him.
He threatened to call the police.
I think it'd be best to let him take the child.
No, Aunt Luisa. We can't.
We won't let him.
Boys, it's not in our hands.
I just talked to Mr. Mendoza and the law is clear.
We have to let him take Chiquis.
Oh, honey...
I was told I could find you here.
Yeah, I run the library. Do you like to read?
What sort of place is this?
That woman almost killed herself.
Thinking suicide is this terrible thing
and then being face to face with it are two different things.
I don't understand anything.
Maybe this will help you.
How? It's blank.
Why don't fill it out with what you feel deep down inside?
I've learned here that life is the book we write day after day.
I wish I could've been here to kick that bastard's ass.
I did.
I protected Mom and Chiquis.
If he comes again, I'll do it again.
No, you won't!
-I heard what you did. -I should've done more.
If he comes back, I'll break his legs.
What's the matter with you?
When has violence ever solved anything?
If you use your fists, you lose,
because you can't think straight!
So what, Dad? We can't protect our sister?
You can and you must, but never through illegal means, Lupillo.
Otherwise it won't do anything but get you in trouble!
So don't ever do that again. Understood?
I know Spanish.
So I fill this out?
There she is!
Mommy's here!
Hi, sweetie!
Hi, baby!
Mr. Jose Trinidad Marin?
Yes, I'm here.
What's this about?
Well...
I'm here
to accuse Mrs. Rosa Rivera of kidnapping my daughter.
So Trino threatened to call the police?
Yes, but we weren't going to let him take her just like that,
but he said he'd come back.
The problem's he's her legal guardian
and he's within his rights.
If he comes back, we'll have to hand her over.
Mom, you know I don't want her with Trino.
Don't take her to school.
and don't take her to those pageants Chiquis loves.
Dad, you have to do something to keep her.
There's nothing we can do.
If you'd accused him of domestic violence,
maybe we could've done something, but not like this.
In the eyes of the law, he's her father.
He's a good husband who's done nothing wrong.
It's his right.
Hey, babe!
How's my favorite girl?
What's up?
You sounded nervous over the phone.
What's that important thing you wanted to tell me?
What is it, babe? Is everything alright?
Tell me.
You know you can count on me.
What is it?
We're having a kid.
I'm pregnant.
Babe!
Seriously. What is it?
I'm not joking.
Who's the father?
You are.
Lies.
No, man.
That kid can't be mine.
I haven't been with anyone else.
No, no, no!
No, don't ---- with me.
Don't do it.
We only slept together once.
Just once, and I didn't even finish!
You're not going to saddle me with some ------- bum's kid...
-I don't know how it happened! -Me neither and I don't care!
You think I'll raise someone else's kid?
No, baby!
And you know what's worse. I thought you were different.
I really did, but you're a slut like all the others!
Go and find that kid's father
because you ain't dumping it on me.
