Stalked By My Ex

---

Listen Chloe, don't tell me

I can't see my daughter.

You have no right!

Leave, or I'm going

to call the police.

You just violated

the restraining order.

I want to see Olivia now!

Chloe, open the door!

Chloe!

Mommy, what's wrong?

Nothing baby, everything's okay.

Honey go back into

your room, it's okay.

Daddy?

No...

Sweetie, I've

missed you so much.

Olivia, no.

Come on, I'll take you for some

ice cream just like I promised.

You're not taking her anywhere.

No, don't!

Honey, Mommy doesn't ever

want me to see you again.

Daddy, you're scaring me!

The police are on their way.

Sam, you're drunk.

Mommy, I'm scared!

Don't put her through this.

You ruined my life.

No Sam, you

ruined your own life.

Back off, or you're

going to get hurt.

Mommy!

It's okay, Olivia.

Mommy's right here.

Okay, go run to Mrs. Chien's.

Go, run!

Dammit Chloe!

You are going to regret this.

Don't come back, Sam.

Don't come back!

Don't come back!

Happy birthday to you!

[Applauding]

Happy Birthday, honey.

Thanks, Mom.

Who wants cake?

[Cell phone ringing]

Hello?

You have a collect call

from the Men's State

Correctional Facility.

Do you accept the charges?

Yeah.

Honey, who is it?

It's dad...

Hello? Dad?

Olivia, can you hear me?

Yeah.

Happy birthday honey.

I told you I wouldn't

forget like last year.

Thanks.

We just cut the cake.

I wish I could be there

with you at your party.

Did you get my letters?

I did.

Thank you for the

beautiful drawings.

You're becoming a great artist.

Thank you.

My attorney says that

I've got a great chance

at an early release.

Things are gonna be

different this time,

I promise.

We'll get a fresh and get

to know each other again.

Dad, I gotta go.

Mom wants the phone.

Happy birthday, honey.

Thanks for calling.

I wish you wouldn't

bother Olivia.

We're right in the

middle of her party.

I can't wish my daughter

a happy birthday?

I'm going to be seeing her soon.

Right, that's what

you said last year.

Yeah, well this

time it's for real.

My attorney says with

all of the overcrowding

and my good behavior, I have a

great chance at early release.

They're reviewing my case

at a hearing tomorrow.

And I can't wait to make it up

to Olivia for the lost time.

I gotta go.

Don't call back again, Sam.

Hey.

Hey, did you have

fun at your party?

Yeah.

What are you reading?

Nothing.

I'm just thinking about dad.

I'm sorry that he

interrupted your party.

No, I was happy

to hear from him.

Honey, you can't

feel bad for him.

He calls you once a year and

he expects you to be happy?

It's not fair to you.

But doesn't he

deserve a second chance?

I mean after all,

he is my father.

He ruined every chance I

ever gave him to change.

He's been clean

for ten years now.

And I'm happy for him.

I hope he starts a new life,

but right now we

can't be any part of it.

This is a pretty dress,

who gave it to you?

What are these?

Mom...

You've been writing to him?

Why didn't you tell me?

I only sent a few letters.

He really wanted

to see my drawings.

Mom, he said he's sorry

for not keeping in touch

and he wants to

make it up to me.

Your father's an

expert manipulator.

I don't want you

communicating with him anymore.

But he's trying

to change his life!

Okay, you really can't

believe anything that he says.

Mom, Dad said that

he's sorry for stealing

that money from his clients.

He's going to pay it all back.

Honey, that's not the only

reason he went to prison.

What are you talking about?

You were too young to remember

the early years with him.

He was physically

abusive with me

and I wasn't going to raise

you in that environment.

Why didn't you

tell me that before?

Because he wasn't in our lives,

so you didn't need to know.

What kind of things

did he do, Mom?

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

I have a right to know.

Okay.

There were a lot of things.

But after we got divorced,

he broke into the house

and he tried to abduct you.

I wouldn't let him take you.

So he tried to run

me over with the car

and I ended up in the hospital.

Why don't I remember that?

You were traumatized.

And I would've told you earlier

if I thought you needed to know.

Mom, I never would've contacted

him if I knew, I swear.

It's okay, but now we

have to protect ourselves

in case he gets out.

Your father blames me

for going to prison

and he threatened

to get back at me.

I won't let him

anywhere near you.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

It's okay.

I know sweetheart, it's okay.

Good morning!

You okay?

Mom?

Well, I got this letter from

the Corrections Department

notifying me of your

father's early release.

He's going to be paroled

at the end of the month.

So it's really happening.

We can't stay here.

Mom?

I'm afraid he's

going to come back

and he's going to try

and do something to us.

What do you mean?

Like what?

I don't know.

But I need to figure out

what we're going to do,

I need to figure out where to go

and we have to go somewhere

far away from here.

Okay.

What about grandma?

I don't want a relationship

with your grandmother.

That's why I left.

Where else do we

have to go, Mom?

Olivia.

Honey, come on we

have a long drive ahead.

Hey.

What about the furniture?

The realtor needs to have it

furnished so she can show it.

But as soon as it sells,

they will pack it all

up and send it to us.
