He should go to school with kids his own age.

I did send him, but I had to pull him out again.

They mocked him.

They insulted him in the most horrible way, and beat him.

And there were those who told him that his mother was a...

Enough, Regina!

Children are cruel.

-Well, but you bring him so...

-Clean, neat, nothing more...

as all the others should attend, if their mothers would take care of theirs as I do of mine.

Besides, at school they only waste time.

I'm a career teacher, and I know how to educate him.

The proof is that he's far far more advanced than any child his age.

But that can't continue forever.

Of course. When the time comes, I will pay for special tests and he'll attend the best schools,...

but for now he's too small and not able to defend himself.

And if he should lose you?

No, no, you can't love him.

Why can't I, if I love you?

No, of course, and it's natural, he's not of your blood.

I already love him because he's yours.

I'm willing to acknowledge him legally and to get him out of that all-women environment that harms him,...

to lend him the support of a man just like he needs.

But then he'd lose the right to that house.

And what does it matter?

I have plenty of money, enough to buy you as many houses as you want.

For me, not my son.

And for him.

I can give both of you everything you might want.

Why do you have to bear privation and shame?

Tell him, Regina, please.

It's absurd that we have to lurk in places like this,...

which degrade us, if we can instead get married.

You're right. At the first opportunity I'll tell him. I promise.

Daniel, get out of here right now.

What's he doing to you, Mom?

Don't panic. I'm healing her.

What is this? And what's that squiggle?

That's Mom's heart.

And ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten your minds...

so you can understand the mysteries of communion...

and the body of Jesus Christ.

Come in, son.

You'll see what I'll do to you.

-Oh!

-Go on!

Go lie down, we need to talk.

Sonny, we're on our own, and Mom isn't feeling well.

You need someone to protect you if anything happens to me,...

and I thought...well, that...if you had a dad who...

Don Lorenzo??

Yes, he's very good, and he loves you very much.

And he'll sleep here with you?

Well, yes, of course.

So who will I get to sleep with?

With your mother, son, your mother, your mother always!

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Hairdress me the boys' way, Mom.

What could you possibly know? With hair so beautiful, would I hairdress you flat!

-No way!

-Daniel! Daniel, come here! Daniel!

Obey me. How dare you talk to your mother like that? Come here.

Come here, I say! What do you mean no?

Is this the payment you give me after all I've sacrificed for you?
