So...

do you like him?

Do you like April?

She's okay.

I gotta go.

This is the place

where we're staying.

The number

for the nanny is on the bottom

in case you run into any problems.

I'll call and check in later, okay?

Don't worry.

We'll have a good time.

And don't spoil her with treats.

Make sure she eats

lots of vegetables.

Hey.

You're looking good, Joey.

You look tired.

April's gonna make you

pancakes for breakfast

and I'll be home for dinner.

I know you're mad at me.

I'm mad at myself.

I shouldn't have missed

your school play.

I'm sorry.

Mom said you were real good.

I bet you were

the best tree on stage.

I was the only tree.

You wanna show me what you did?

I don't like it here.

I want to go back

to your house.

I'm sorry.

It's only for one night.

You've gotta be nice

to April while I'm gone.

She'll never replace Mom,

but you gotta do what she says.

I don't want you to go.

I've gotta work.

I'll come back real soon.

Mommy says you work too much

and that's why we don't live with you.

Well, she's probably right.

Are you ever gonna stop working

and come home, Daddy?

- It's not up to me.

Eddie.

Okay.

Okay, good night.

Okay.

In the last two weeks,

I've seen you twice.

Now I'm stuck looking

after some kid that's not mine

while you get to jet off to Miami.

It's not fair.

I'll make it up to you.

That's all I ever hear from you.

- I will.

I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Taylor made you this.

Have a good trip, Eddie.

You can only tell

the same lie so many times

before it gets stale.

April sensed it was false.

Women have a sixth sense

about the truth.

I was just in another relationship

that was drying up.

History has a way

of repeating itself,

no matter how many times

I try to prevent it.

Hi, it's me.

Hey, how was your trip?

Fine. Is Taylor okay?

Yeah, she's great.

She just went to bed.

Did she act funny?

She was difficult at dinner,

wasn't she?

Well, maybe a little.

You have to spend

more time with her, okay?

- I know.

Where are you?

I'm just - just getting

some stuff for breakfast.

Where's Taylor?

She's with April.

Oh.

I gotta go, so

I just wanted to make sure

that Taylor was okay. Bye.

Bye.

Who sent you? Tell me!

Hello.

- Get out of the apartment.

- What are you talking about?

- Open the door! Police!

-You have to listen to me.

- What's going on?

- Why are the police here?

- Listen, grab Taylor

- and get out of the apartment.

- Why?

No! No!

No! No!

Manuela, Manuela!

- Mr. Genn.

- Where is she?

- Oh, sleeping.

- All right.

April said that you wanted me

to take care of her.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too.

Gonna go on a big adventure, okay?

- What happened to your face?
