All of them?

Yes.

Dad?

Why were you sleeping in?

Don't you have work to do?

I think that I saw...

Mom.

I think I saw her in the

house and I could feel a...

And I couldn't remember

what her face looked like.

Your mother's not here.

But I saw her.

Are you taking your pills?

Then you must have been confused.

It used to happen to your

mother sometimes, too.

Before she...

Before she what?

Before she died.

I was going to put the box back.

And if you had? And wife hadn't noticed?

Then what?

How many times have I told

you to leave this box alone?

I've raised you to adulthood,

taught you to be honest, now

you've turned out to be a liar.

Your cousin told me about yesterday.

If you want to talk to the neighbor boy,

do it through the fence or make him call.

Don't let him in the house.

Dammit.

Thong?

Thong!

Thong!

He never shows his face

when I actually need him.

Mom?

Dad doesn't think it's you.

Dad doesn't believe it's anybody.

But...

Dad never talks about you.

Except to say that I have

your same heart condition.

And that I have to be careful.

Because you weren't and...

Did your heart hurt?

Did you lose your breath, too?

When I was little, dad

told me you were at rest.

Or at peace.

But...

How could you be at peace?

You died so suddenly.

If you've got a message...

You can tell me, mom.

I want to hear it.

Or...

Show yourself to me...

Tell her her to turn around.

Chanthaly!

Chanthaly!

What?

Sh*t.

Sir, I think I've found your daughter.

Have a seat, doctor. I'll

get you something to drink.

Thank you.

I can see your legs, you know.

You should come out.

Your father brought me here to talk to you.

Do I know you?

I'm Keo.

I'm the son of your father's

old boss, Bounthavy.

What did my father bring you

here to talk to me about?

What do you think?

I already have a boyfriend,

if that's what you're after.

Your father told me you take

pills for a heart condition?

What are you? A doctor or something?

That's right.

Oh, yeah?

That's right.

Where did you study?

In Paris, France.

Can I see your pills?

Do you really have a boyfriend?

Why?

Do you have shortness of breath?

Dizziness? Fainting?

That's why I'm not allowed

to leave the house anymore.

And your mother had the same illness?

I guess so. She died when I was little.

Your father said you were hallucinating.

I'm not.

The pills you've been taking have some...

Well, strange side effects...

Like seeing things that

other people can't see?

You told him that you saw your mother.

I did see her.

Have some water, doctor.

I should probably head home, sir.

What do you mean?

Have dinner with us first.
