My mom's due back any day now too.

Sounds tough. Heroin is hard to break from. Tell me about your kid.

I don't wanna hear about you being glad I have someone.

[boilover]

I ain't your mom. Or your dad. Like I said, it was complicated.

She's always happy. Even when her mom kept trying to leave her outside, kept put her in the dumpster, screaming at her. Took ages to get her safe but I did it. Nearly six months now.

I'm glad you're happy. I'm fucking pissed off it's not me and I missed my window. Happy?

[catchacold]

Cause telling me would have not helped at all.

I'm glad your daughter can still smile like that with all this shit going on. What's her name?

Yeah, I'm ecstatic. Might just throw a party.

[boilover]

She was tiny and breakable. And I had some stuff on my back. I had to make a clean break until I had her safe.

Nothing can keep her down. I call her my cub.

Yeah, yeah, I'm thrilled. I hated leaving you. I can't give you anything more than that.

[catchacold]

Yeah, I'd have been of no help.

She's adorable, I'm sure.

Whatever. You still want us coming over?

[boilover]

Your dad was threatening me. He turned up at my place, he made comments about my little girl.

It wasn't an option to come and see you. And by the time he was in the slammer, I was dealing with an addict.

If you want to then come.

[catchacold]

I'll deal with it myself.

Sorry about my old man.

[boilover]

I never blamed you. I was powerless and I had a kid, I couldn't pick a fight. If I kept seeing you, I would have had to. I wanted to sort it then see you.

Don't. Just come see me, bring the kids. You ain't gonna get that kid without me.

[catchacold]

You still have a kid, I still have a dad. I'm not putting your baby at risk.

[boilover]

Then let's do what I should have done from the start.

Let's get rid of Lewis Snart.

Cause let's face it, if you wanna save this kid and raise Lisa well? You gotta get rid of him. And I can help.

[catchacold]

You have a baby, Mick. I'll take care of it, of whatever needs doing.

[boilover]

Nope. Not accepting no for an answer.

I abandoned you last time because I was scared and I ain't doing it again. I want

oh fuck this, can't we just talk in person? COME OVER.

[catchacold]

I will be there in a few, but I'm not doing this, Mick. I'm already ruining one little girl's life.

[boilover]

Your autocorrect is playing you.

You meant saved. You already saved one little girl's life.

And you did, you're gonna keep on doing it too, better and safer than ever without him lurking over you.

[catchacold]

Your daughter's safe. That's important.

[boilover]

So will your sister And that other kid. Alex? Something like that?

He'll be okay.
