Sign here?
- Your first visit to your daughter?
- Yes.
Write here the number,
day and time, and sign it.
Excuse me, what's this?
Fruit and chocolate.
I’m sorry, but it's not allowed.
Pick it up when you leave.
Go on in.
Thanks.
Hello.
Wait here.
Go in.
Go.
Sit down over here.
Ira, darling.
How do you feel?
Were you sick?
Ira.
Don't you know me?
Ira, answer your dad.
You recited a poem.
I remember.
A poem?
What poem?
We were in a cellar
and you recited a poem.
What did you do to her?
What's going on?
Tell your daddy
what you do here,
what you watched on TV yesterday.
We watched a show.
You had to guess
who was the worst.
And why do children watch this show?
Because we have to like
what others like.
We have to be like others.
You have to force yourself.
Good girl!
You see?
She's getting better.
Ira, sing the song
you learned, dear.
Weren't you learning a song?
Give me your hand.
What injections have they been
giving her?
You'll have to ask the doctor.
They give her what she needs.
I'll ask right now!
I will!
I'll ask right now!
Mr. Banev!
I have the right! It’s an emergency.
He recited a poem. I remember.
Who's there?
Who's walking there?
What is it?
Who are you?
How did you get in here?
I’m Victor Banev.
I’m on the UN commission!
I demand that you
give me my child! Now!
So that's it.
I see.
And your so-called ''treatment''
will be investigated
at the highest level!
Is that all?
Now leave the territory of the center.
You think you can order me?!
What's going on here?
Send up security!
This is madness!
On your feet!
Stand, I said!
Let him go!
Let him go, I said!
I want to know
why I’m denied the right
to take my child from here.
- You want to take her?
- Yes, I want to take her.
All right, take
Mr. Banev to the 5th Ward.
- We shouldn't do it.
- Yes, we should!
He's threatening us
with the UN commission.
Go on, Mr. Banev.
Fill out the papers.
Come in here
where we can talk.
Don't misunderstand...
We're doing everything
we can for them.
The best doctors, the best
specialists analyzing the data.
If that were only enough.
Do you know the word...
''wilt''?
You move a plant
to a new soil.
And no matter how much you
water it, it just wilts.
It won't take root.
They're like that.
Everything in this world
causes them pain.
Our world is...
endless suffering for them.
I think much time must pass
before they learn to
live again among us.
I believe it's possible.
Let's hope it's possible.
