get up, and other days...

There's no easy way to treat her condition.

It'll take some time.

Try again tomorrow.

Thank you, sir. I'll get going then.

How many are there?

What?

How many sheets?

I don't know.

Where's your head today?

I count twenty-five.

Where are the other five?

They're not dry yet.

What should I do? The clients are waiting.

I've got to deliver these now.

I'll be back for the others.

You look exhausted.

It's these new pills.

I just want to sleep all the time.

Is that why I haven't seen you?

I'm either working or in bed.

It's not just that.

I have trouble keeping

my thoughts together.

My mind wanders.

But do you feel better?

I guess.

My heart does, but...

What about the thing,

you told me about your mother?

I guess the doctor was right

about the hallucinations.

A few days after I started

taking the pills.

There was nothing.

If it helps...

I didn't think it was so crazy.

I do.

It was stupid.

I thought you said your mom

had a message for you.

And you said these pills confuse you.

Maybe you just can't hear what

she's trying to tell you.

So what do I do?

Mommy?

Are you there?

Chan?

It's late. Stop playing with

the lights and go to bed.

Your health is improving.

I talked to your father yesterday.

He says you hardly talk to him anymore.

Does he want me to apologize?

Your new pills proved I was crazy.

Do I have to apologize?

No.

When was the last time you left the house?

I can't remember.

I'm going to take you to dinner.

I can't.

My dad-

I already talked to your father.

You can put on a dress

and a little make-up.

We'll go get something to eat.

I won't keep you out late.

And it'll be good for you.

I'll pick you up soon, all right?

Five o'clock?

Okay.

Chan?

Chan?

Hey!

Boy.

I don't know where she is.

Then what the hell are you doing here?

Get out of here.

Dad?

Go inside.

Didn't you hear? I told

you to go inside now.

Okay.

Good night, sweet dreams.

You, too.

Thanks for letting me go out, dad.

I told her you said it was all right to go.

Did you now?

I was taking care of her.

Taking care of her?

By letting her drink?

By driving her on the back of your bike,

after you've been drinking?

It was only a glass of wine.

I'm her doctor.

Her doctor?

Get out!

Get off my property.

Get out!

Let go of me!

Do you understand?

I think I understand.

You didn't die in childbirth.

Isn't that what you've

been trying to tell me?

Chanthaly.

It's time to eat.

It's almost noon.

You should get out of bed.

There's a basket of

laundry waiting for you.

I'm not angry with you for last night.

Keovisit lied to both of us.

He won't be coming back.

I told him to not come back.
