and your mother too.

The girl came to my house

after her father beat her.

Why blame the girl

when you were out drinking?

I saw her acting up before I left!

She ran to the chief scared for

her life, after you beat her.

You're not making sense!

From what I see,

alcohol is the problem.

What shall we do?

Take her to the morgue?

We don't know how she died.

We need... what you call it!

Autopsy.

We need an autopsy.

Do you even know what an autopsy is?

They cut her open,

and take out all of her organs.

Do it!

Damn.

Everyone, clear out now.

- Mom!

- Everyone go home.

She was heavily intoxicated with a

blood alcohol content of 0.2%.

And she was in the early stages

of Alzheimer's disease.

We believe she shouldn't

have been operating a vehicle.

We find the cause of death

to be drowning

as a result of careless driving.

Sign here with your thumbprint.

Does the girl need to sign too?

Come over here, sweetie.

Wipe your thumb.

You sign here too.

Go sit over there.

What do you want to do

with the bike?

I'll take it.

It's useless now

that it fell in the sea.

Don't touch it!

This isn't working.

Come with me.

That son of a b*tch.

Can we...

just stay here?

Okay, first take a hot shower.

When is your mom coming?

Why did she leave you here?

She won't come back this time.

I knew it the day she left.

I saw her leave with her luggage

in the middle of the night.

I made eye contact with her,

but she told me to go back to sleep.

Until then, she'd tell me to get

dressed when I asked to come along.

Do you think you get beaten

because of your mother?

My own mother abandoned me.

Do you want to stay here

for a while?

Really?

Can I really stay with you?

Get some sleep for now.

What about you?

I'll sleep in the living room.

Why?

I like sleeping alone.

Okay.

What're you doing?

Chief, I'm hungry.

Okay.

I want to wear this too.

Even the smallest size would be

too big for you.

- This one's pretty too.

- I don't like it.

This is awesome.

Take out your cell phone.

Hold down number 1.

Number 2 is the police station.

If I don't pick up,

call the station.

If your dad tries to hit you again,

run and call me, okay?

Okay.

Look!

Good job.

Now come and eat.

Where did you learn

to sing and dance?

I just picked it up while watching TV.

I'm great at imitating.

What else can you do?

Once upon a time,

there lived a little mermaid.

Because she lived under water, she

had fins for legs and a pretty torso.

Her body truly had a twist ending.

The fast dolphin is sleek.

I'll rip you to pieces!

Nice. You sound exactly the same

Let's eat.

How's the food?

Excuse me.

A day has passed, and my kid

doesn't even think of coming home.
