- It's okay.

- Why?

Because he's delicate,

and he gets worse at night.

Robert doesn't need to know.

He'll still pay your shift.

Are you sure?

Yeah, it's okay. You can go.

All right, thank you.

Okay.

[moans]

You... sent him away?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I wanted to watch the movie.

Was he handsome?

Jesus Christ, John.

[vaguely]

I didn't get a look at him.

What?

You never been with a man?

[chuckles]

That's good. That's good.

[door opens]

[moans]

Isn't it the other nurse's shift?

- Sorry?

- The other nurse.

Isn't she usually on right now?

Yeah, I thought I'd stay.

Did she not show up today?

No, she did,

but I just thought I'd stay.

He was feeling tired, so...

- You must be really exhausted.

- I am.

It's okay.

Just, uh, let me know

if you need anything, okay?

I'll be downstairs.

Mm-hmm.

[wheezing]

[sobbing]

[knock on door]

Okay?

[panting]

[sniffling]

Um...

After dinner I'll come up

and sit with him, yeah?

Okay.

[chatter]

Wanna watch a movie?

Hmm?

[mutters]

[TV plays indistinctly]

[indistinct conversations]

[phone ringing]

- [knock on door]

- Come in.

- Hi.

- Hey, David. Sit down.

What's going on?

They want to sue you

for sexual harassment.

Who does?

John's family. His children.

Well, I was just there.

Why are you doing multiple

shifts without permission?

Well, John needed me.

They found an iPad with pornography.

John's son said John had an erection

while you were bathing him.

- And so?

- He wants to sue you.

He says you are manipulating his dad.

For what?

If we tell them that you

won't go near John again,

maybe they'll withdraw the claim.

Okay.

I have to get legal involved.

Why don't you just tell them?

I don't want another lawsuit.

Don't go near John.

Don't go. Don't call.

I've asked Silvia

to do a couple of shifts...

until I find someone.

That's it.

[bangs door knocker]

You can't be here.

I never harmed him.

If anybody else sees you here,

it's going to be worse for you.

How is he?

He's better.

Does he know about this?

No, of course not.

Can I see him?

David, we're about to sue you.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi.

How you doing?

I'm fine.

Okay.

When did you get back?

Two days ago.

Are you staying?

Yeah.

- I'm studying medicine.

- I know.

- It's good to see you.

- And you.

Did you get married again?

No.

You?

I was married for four years,

then I divorced.

What does Nadia know?

- About Dan?

- Yeah.

Everything.

[woman chuckles]

Okay. I'll talk to you soon. Bye.

[hangs up phone]

- Can I help you?

- Hi.

Is Isaac in?

Sure, and your name is?

David Wilson.

Okay, one second.

Just be a second.

Okay.

Hi. Can I help you?

I was hoping to see your father.
