01x02 - If You Vanished, What Would They Say About You?

[bunniefuu]

[rain pattering]

[Emi] Mom!

[pleasant music plays]

[Emi giggles]

[indistinct conversation]

- Anything for a waterfall! Look!

- [Emi] The waterfall!!

[pleasant music continues]

Are you talking with Sofi?

No, there's no signal here.

Hmm

Well, she can come with us next time.

I doubt it.

[pleasant music continues]

Still don't feel like talkin' to me yet?

Kari! Vero!

Come take a photo!

- Kari, come on!

- [Mario] Over here! Over here!

[pleasant music continues]

Kari!

Vero! Come on! Take a picture!

This is good here.

You can see the waterfall.

Come on, Kari, let's do it.

[dog barks]

[pleasant music fades]

[whistle blows]

[man 1] Anything of interest,

anything at all,

I wanna know about it immediately.

- Over there?

- Yeah.

- [man 1] Understood?

- [dog barks]

[woman sings hauntingly]

2 DAYS

[Ceci] Ah, thanks.

Still hot.

- Señora Cecilia.

- Yes?

Okay, we've searched the whole area.

We haven't, uh,

come up with any positive results yet.

Having said that, though,

we're gonna expand the search

into two more areas.

- Okay. I'll be right here.

- [rescuer] Okay. Thank you, ma'am.

- Thanks.

- We'll call you soon.

- We'll see you later.

- [rescuer] Perfect. Thanks.

- Shall we?

- Yeah, let's go.

Wow.

Five minutes and no more.

[Toledo] So, you have Braulio

setting up your meetings now, huh?

Weren't you the one defending

all those pharmaceutical companies?

Hmm.

Well, it's part of the job.

You're not saying those people

don't deserve to be defended, now are you?

No, no.

Anybody call?

Nope, nothing yet.

Was anything taken?

- Hardly anything.

- Hardly?

Well, a camera for photos,

a videocam,

a cell phone. You know.

So anything that can record.

Her car too.

Keys in and the motor on.

- And her husband?

- No, he didn't see a thing.

- He left early, didn't see a thing.

- Are you sure?

Why are you so interested in this case?

How many kidnappings have

have you actually investigated?

[clears throat] None.

My point exactly.

If you share the evidence with me,

it'll be like having an extra set of eyes.

Whatever you investigate won't be in vain.

See what I'm saying?

Like we used to do in the old days.

Come on.

Toledo, this could be the opportunity

of your career.

We're talking big, really big.

You just have to be a little more alert.

What are you getting out of all this,

Pizarro?

Huh?

- [Pizarro mumbles]

- You're not even part of this case.

Do me a favor and quit playing cop.

Go f*ck around on somebody else's watch.

But, uh

[sighs]

[Ceci] Are you okay?

Let's go home. It's better.

What if she just decided to leave?

I don't know. Maybe she needed to go away

to be by herself. I

Why do you say that?

Well, it's just,

I haven't been very nice to her

in the last few months.

No matter how bad the fight

between you and your mom was, Karen,

there's no way she would ever think

of leaving you or your sister.

You two are her life.

She would never do that.

[indistinct conversation]

Hi, Kari.

[Kari] Hi.

I'm so happy you're here, sweetheart.

I'm having such trouble with this thing.

[sighs] I don't know

how to print these out.

I'll take a look.

Which photo? This one?

[Mario] No.

There's one after that's better.

That one I like.

Have you heard any news?

No, no word yet.

Nothing.

[printer whirring]

- [door closes]

- [man 2] Hey.

Oh, hi.

So? Any news?

Nothing.

Whole world knows about it though.

Yeah.

[Ceci grunts]

Oh, thanks.

Did you hear anything else

from the girls' school today?

I called,

I spoke with the headmistress.

She told me that, uh

that the mothers were organizing

a prayer circle for the girls.

She said that, uh

Is Emi up yet?

Yeah, yeah, she's up.

Emi.

Good morning.

How did you sleep, huh?

[Ceci chuckles]

Come on, you need to sit up.

You can't eat breakfast lying down.

That a girl.

- Aunt Ceci?

- Hmm?

Today Can I go to fencing later today?

Sweetheart, you won't be going

to fencing this afternoon.

But Mom says we can't skip it ever.

Yes, but

We'll go next week. How about that?

And

can, um, can we visit her today?

Morning.

- Morning.

- Morning.

Long time no see, Pizarro!

Yep, back and badder than ever.

[Braulio] Okay, so Toledo

didn't wanna give you any more info.

Fine. Let's go back to what we do have.

A woman rents a movie,

gets the idea for the kidnapping

and then kidnaps herself?

[Pizarro] Mm-hmm.

But why would she leave

her important documents behind?

ID, credit cards, it doesn't make sense.

Nah, it doesn't sound

like a kidnapping to me either.

No, so what's the classic motive

for kidnapping?

- It's money.

- [Pizarro] Money.

Exactly. And nobody here

has asked for anything.

But they did call one time.

They called,

but they didn't ask for anything.

[woman 1] Hmm.

All right

Let's say it's kidnapping for now

why her, then?

There are plenty of families

with more money than hers.

Why would they go for Verónica?

[Pizarro] Hmm.

We're missing something here.

[woman 1] Information.

But who's gonna give us that information?

Her sister?

That's why we have to have an endorsement.

MOTHER VANISHES

FROM EXCLUSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD

[Mario] How's Emi doing?

MISSING

Is she okay?

Doing well?

[Ceci] She's fine.

That's great.

She's gotta keep up her homework.

It's important that, uh,

that she doesn't fall behind in school.

[man 2] Mario, she's a little girl.

What's important is

that she's calm and happy.

And we already organized the search groups

for today and for tomorrow morning.

[Mario] That's great.

And we thought it might be a good idea to

to offer a reward.

Yeah.

Uh

You, uh

Look, I don't know

[man 2] Mario, listen,

if someone out there knows something

and sees money,

it's very likely they'll speak up.

Yeah, but I mean, you

I just don't know. I'd rather wait

and see what the police have to say.

[Ceci] Jesus, Mario

Mario, if if if we wait to see

what the police are doing,

we'll never get anywhere.

Yeah, sure, but, you know

Ceci, you've got to admit the police

are rather picky about procedure,

and I'd really just rather wait.

[quiet music plays]

MISSING

HELP US FIND VERÓNICA

[woman sings in Spanish]

[man 2] Thanks a lot for coming out.

Just put 'em up wherever you can.

Hi.

Karen, baby, how you doin'?

- Hi.

- How are you?

What are you doing here?

- I figured you'd be at home right now.

- I was hoping to help.

Carmen, do you know anything about Mom?

Did she tell you anything?

You tell each other everything, don't you?

I'm so sorry.

I know nothing about it.

[quiet music continues]

[sighs]

[sniffs]

Take care of her.

- Okay. Ciao.

- Ciao.

Ciao.

[quiet music continues]

[rain pattering]

[quiet music fades]

- [Toledo] How's it going here?

- We've interrogated the whole community.

- Yeah?

- They all say it was a normal marriage.

- Mm-hmm.

- Nothing out of the ordinary.

He's very reserved, of course.

Yeah.

And she's very loving,

always with her daughters.

Anyway, besides that,

there's a woman who works here

in the mornings,

and she said that, um, that day,

she saw two people come out

of the house carrying a bag,

though she couldn't tell

if they were men or women.

Okay. Did you double-check with security?

Uh-huh. Yes, sir.

- Mm-hmm.

- We went through all the records.

- And?

- No one from the outside

came through the gate,

except for the employees.

Well, we'll just have to check them again.

- Sure. Yes, sir.

- What else?

Uh, yeah, a neighbor was involved

in a narcotics trafficking here.

- [Toledo] Yeah?

- He was married to a María Verónica.

They might've kidnapped the wrong person.

A false kidnap.

Yeah, could've been.

Yeah, you better look into that as well.

- Okay. Sure.

- [Toledo] Anything else?

Yes.

This is a copy of that letter

that showed up at headquarters.

[Toledo] Hmm. Where'd you find it?

Floor of the patio. It's anonymous.

[Martín] What the?

What is going on?

Who are the other people in the car?

[Martín] Get away! What, are you crazy?

[reporter 1] Did you have anything

to do with it?

[breathing heavily]

Hey. Just let me out here now.

Please.

[Sofi] Where did they get

those pictures from?

[Kari] Who knows? Facebook?

[Sofi] But can they publish them?

Can they do that?

They do what they want. I don't know.

So, have the kidnappers

called again or anything?

I mean, I think it's kinda weird

that your old man

was only contacted that one time.

Ya know?

[pleasant music plays]

3 DAYS

- [receptionist] Víctor!

- Hey.

[receptionist]

Thought we'd never see you again.

- Nah!

- Who you meeting with?

Rosita, when have I ever had

to ask for a meeting here?

[laughs] You're right.

Verónica Montes.

Missing for three days.

The entire city's been looking for her.

[man 3] Do you have the file?

Yeah, I'm on it.

In fact,

that's why I wanted to come here,

see if I could get your endorsement.

To be able to investigate

on behalf of the office. You know.

Always trying to get into the spotlight,

aren't you? Hmm.

Yeah, but if we do it the right way,

the spotlight'll shine right here, hmm?

No?

Sure.

Okay, I know I was an as*h*le.

Okay? You're right.

But how many big cases

have I brought this office, huh?

Remember?

Are you really gonna ignore all that?

Yes, but you can't just keep on

doing things only the way

that you think they should be done.

Even if it's the only way

to get things done efficiently?

Víctor,

if you're having money issues, man.

If you

If you need cash,

I mean, I can give you some gigs

outside the office,

small cases, you know.

I know it's not the exciting

kind of stuff you like,

but it would do you good.

You and Joaco.

[pleasant music continues]

- [Braulio] You sure it's authentic?

- It's all good, bro.

[Braulio] Cool. Thanks.

[pleasant music continues]

See?

[chuckles]

This is what you need, Pizarro,

a nice tea for a lousy day.

Thanks, Carlitos.

Good afternoon. Hi.

- [Carlitos] Afternoon, Nora, come on in.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- [Carlitos] Good to see you.

[Pizarro] Hey.

Looks like things just got interesting.

[Pizarro] Hmm. Yep.

They just declared

the investigation secret.

Mm.

[Braulio] Relax.

Don't worry. It's fine.

It'll be a little harder

to get the information from the cops,

but anyway, look, we found this.

[Nora] This is a copy

of the letter they left.

It appeared

at police headquarters yesterday.

It's anonymous.

Listen, you got any hot dogs left?

- Could I have a sandwich?

- [woman 2] Sure.

[Braulio] I got it. I'll take one.

- Lover?

- [Braulio] Yep.

[Nora] Mm-hmm. Plus, it says they saw

the woman arguing several times

with a man at a motel,

and thought that something might happen.

We also found out

that there's this woman named Carmen

whom the police

have now interviewed twice.

She's supposedly the best friend

of Verónica.

And what'd she say about it?

Friend denies everything.

She denies the lover.

And that's what she said

in her statements. Thanks.

We're gonna need to corroborate this.

But I doubt a woman from Altos del Lago

is gonna wanna talk to scumbags like us.

- [Nora laughs]

- Hey. Scumbags?

Scumbags or not,

I bet Ms. Disappearing Verónica

would've liked us.

Excuse me, may I?

This woman, this Carmen,

she's not like the posh old ladies

from up there.

No, no, no. She grew up in the port.

- [Pizarro] Uh-huh?

- She runs a store downtown. Used clothes.

Oh.

Let's see what she has to tell us.

Mm, and why would she tell us anything

she hasn't already told the police?

Let's take advantage of the fact

we're not in the system, huh?

The investigation was

declared a secret, okay?

As far as I know, we're not part of

any official investigation. Am I wrong?

- [Nora] Hmm.

- True.

Let's go see this Carmen.

What, you mean now?

Carlitos would ya put it on my tab,

please? Appreciate it.

Yeah, but my sandwich. It's

Eh, order it to go. Let's get a move on.

- I'll pick up the sandwich.

- [Pizarro] See you.

- [Braulio] Sorry.

- [Pizarro] Bye, Margarita.

[ship horn blaring]

[Carmen] Come in, come in.

Would it be okay to look around?

[Carmen] Of course. Take your time.

Let me know if you need anything.

[Braulio] Thanks.

[pop music plays in background]

[Braulio] What do you think?

If you like it.

Afternoon.

[Carmen] Hi.

What are you looking for?

Um

[chuckles] Mm

The truth, actually.

THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH,

REGARDLESS OF DISBELIEF AND IGNORANCE

- [Carmen chuckles softly]

- I'd love to find it.

That depends on which truth

you wanna find.

The, uh, Verónica Montes truth.

And who are you?

A reporter?

I'm a friend of Verónica's.

[mysterious music plays]

Well, I've never seen you.

Well, I've never seen you before either.

I I wanna meet her.

And I know that you and I know things

that others don't.

[mysterious music continues]

I already told what I know to the police.

[Pizarro] Read it.

[mysterious music continues]

[Carmen] I'm so sorry,

I'm going to have to close for a moment.

No, no, they're, uh

we're we're together.

[mysterious music continues]

How do you know Verónica?

[Pizarro] Childhood friends.

But don't worry,

I haven't told the police

anything about her.

Excuse me. I'm gonna go for a smoke.

[Carmen] Mm-hmm.

[Pizarro] So the cops came

to see you already. And?

[Carmen] Judging from their questions,

they seem more interested

in digging into Vero's private life

than looking for her.

[Pizarro] Hmm.

They've asked me three times

if she just ran out of there.

Maybe the police think

he's involved somehow,

that they escaped, ran off together.

No.

No, he's actually more worried than I am.

As soon as we heard about it, we spoke.

[Pizarro] Mm-hmm.

This letter is pure fabrication.

He's been nothing more

than a friend to her for ages.

Uh-huh.

[mysterious music continues]

Look, I just wanna protect Verónica.

Out there where she's living,

they care more about appearances

than anything else.

Yep.

And you? Why didn't you tell the police?

Same as you.

I didn't wanna feed the gossip.

Have the family find out,

husband find out. You know.

But he knows everything.

She told him the truth.

[Toledo] Sir, I need to ask you again,

are there any problems in your marriage?

It's just that it was such a long ago.

And when Vero told me, I just

[sad music plays]

I didn't know or even care

who the guy was.

You mean you didn't even wanna find out

who your wife had been with?

[sad music continues]

What good would it have done?

You tell me.

Well

Okay.

[Mario] Hmm?

Is there anything else

that we should know?

CHIEF M. TOLEDO

[sad music continues]

I haven't hidden anything.

I've answered every question you've asked.

When you asked me was I happy,

I was happy.

Was she happy? I don't know.

I don't live that lie.

I had a good marriage.

That's what I said, what I'm saying now,

and what I'll always say.

Um, look.

From now on,

any detail

could be important for us

to help find your wife.

Do you understand?

[sad music continues]

You heard it first in there.

Medina knew all about the lover. Huh?

- Look.

- Uh-huh.

So, you're childhood friends, huh?

- Yeah, well

- It's not funny, Pizarro.

Eh.

No, man, we can't just stroll on in

and lie to 'em.

- We made progress in there

- No. I'm not buyin' it.

- We don't have a thing.

- Oh, what the hell?

We have no case, no client,

no one to turn the evidence over to.

- What the hell? We just spoke to

- No, that's not evidence. Come on.

Forget it. We can't do what we used to do.

Doesn't make it ill*gal,

but doesn't mean it's not wrong.

What did you do?

I leave you two alone and you fight?

I'm done for today.

[mobile rings]

[ringing stops]

- Hey, why'd you hang up on Joaco?

- What, are you spying on me?

Eh, give it here.

- [Pizarro sighs]

- What'd he do?

I saw him the other day

and promised that I'd go with him

and look at some sneakers

he wants to buy and

But I don't have the money.

What the hell did you even promise for?

Who knew he'd call right away

for Christ's sake?

If you're gonna start pulling

this sh*t with your own son,

I'm gonna quit like Braulio.

I'm not kidding.

- No, wait a minute.

- All right. Shh!

Joaquín.

Talk with him now.

Go on, do it!

[woman 3] In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen.

[quiet music plays]

[officer] How are you, Miss Karen?

[Kari] Fine.

- That's good.

- What are you doing outside?

Aren't you cold?

- No.

- Go inside.

No, it's just that your father

asked me to wait outside because, uh,

he's in a private meeting.

[officer grunts]

It's okay. Come in.

- That's what I told him.

- [Mario] This woman tells me,

"Don't hang up.

They're going to talk with you."

[lawyer] How can that be?

- If it's my wife, a man, a dog, or a cat?

- [Mario] That's when I heard

[officer] Sorry. May I?

Exactly. Uh

- Sit over there by the fire.

- This is one of my treasures.

This is Kari.

Oh! This is the famous Kari.

- Hi. How are you?

- Hello.

He's our new lawyer.

- Our what?

- That's right.

Lawyer? Why?

[Mario] Because, um

Well, he'll be helping us

speed up all the procedures

we need to take care of to find Mom.

He's also suggesting

we get together with your uncles

to come up with a strategy

[lawyer] Listen to me, Kari.

What's important right now

with all these people meddling,

all the rumors going around

is that we're careful, hmm?

That we stay strong

and united more than ever.

Hmm?

- United.

- [lawyer] Your dad knows.

- See what I'm saying?

- Sure.

[Mario] Yeah, she's smart.

She understands.

[Kari grunts]

It's been hard for everybody, ya know?

It hasn't been easy.

Excuse me, officer,

did you add kindling to the stove?

[officer] No, there wasn't any.

If you want, I'll be happy to get some.

[Mario] No, no, no.

That stove doesn't take kindling.

And remember, it runs hot.

Okay?

You don't need kindling.

It's more about the embers.

[Joaquín] Dad,

what are you so depressed about?

[Pizarro] Uh, it's just been a lousy day.

[Joaquín] Lousy day, huh?

One of those that lasts, like, two years?

[Nora laughs]

- Hmm.

- Hmm.

- What?

- What?

He knows you.

Come on, try 'em.

Let's try the new shoes.

There we go.

Knock yourself out.

You're not gonna try those shoes on here?

- [Joaquín] What do you mean?

- [Nora] Want me to find a dressing room?

Joaco, listen, what would you do?

I mean, there's this case where everyone

says it's gotta go like this,

but deep down,

you know it's gotta go like that.

But nobody believes you, though.

What would you do?

I guess I'd solve it on my own.

Shut everybody else up.

Pretty awesome.

What are you doin'?

[Joaquín] Test drive my new shoes.

Now?

[scoffs] Look at those sneakers.

They're so friggin' expensive,

the sandpaper's gonna ruin 'em, dude!

- [Nora chuckles]

- Make sure you don't fall!

[laughs]

Hey, you wanna tell me

what's really bothering you?

[Pizarro sniffs, clears throat]

I went to the firm where I used to work

to see if they'd take the case,

but nothing came out of it.

Looks like you're gonna have

to listen to him.

To Joaco?

You're gonna have to shut everyone up

on your own.

Alone.

Well, not completely alone. [chuckles]

["Una Calma" by Niña Tormenta plays]

[Joaquín] Hey, check this out.

- Already made a hole in 'em.

- Get outta here!

[no dialogue]

[song fades]

[reporter 2] There's a bit of speculation

surrounding the circumstances

of the mysterious disappearance

where neither the people

from Llanquihue Lake or Puerto Varas

have come up with any concrete evidence.

What is undeniable is that the curiosity

in the city is here to stay.

6 DAYS

[foreboding music plays]

What I suggest is

autonomy.

What I suggest is autonomy.

[foreboding music continues]

[Toledo] If you go ahead with the reward,

the only thing you'll gain is chaos.

You just need to have a little faith

in our procedures. That's all.

It's not that we don't have faith

in your work, Chief,

but it's been such a long time now.

How could there be no news yet?

According to protocol,

the only person I'm allowed to keep

in the loop and up to date is Don Mario.

But we're family too.

We have a right to be informed.

We're her siblings.

This isn't chaos here.

We're following three lines of inquiry,

all right?

You have to understand,

I can't be sharing information

with just anyone and everyone.

"Anyone and everyone"?

[indistinct conversation]

[quiet music plays]

[clears throat]

[man 4] Excuse me.

Anything you can do would be great.

- Yeah. Sure.

- Thanks.

Uh, Cecilia?

- Yes?

- Sorry, uh, Víctor Pizarro, I'm a lawyer.

How you doin'?

- What is it?

- Pleasure.

I have information that could be relevant

to your sister's case.

And to her disappearance.

Look, If it's more rumors,

go talk to the reporters,

they love that stuff.

[Pizarro] Sir, believe me,

this really is important.

If you're not happy

with the way the investigation is going,

it could be in your best interest

for us to talk a minute or two.

You know, the way things are going,

it couldn't hurt to talk a minute or two,

to the lawyer.

Thanks.

You need to have information now.

And to be informed,

you have to be part of this case too.

You need to bring a lawsuit against them.

That would allow you to have access

to all the investigation files,

as well as being able to ask

for proceedings.

Okay, but who do we bring

the suit against?

Against everybody responsible.

My recommendation is autonomy.

Whether it's with me or another lawyer.

What did you say your name was again?

Víctor Pizarro.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

Uh, Mr. Pizarro?

Forgot to get your number.

[Pizarro] Ah, ready? Eight,

seven, zero, eight, two, one, three.

- Víctor Pizarro. Right.

- Víctor Pizarro, right. Good to meet you.

[exhales]

[clears throat]

[Carlitos] Hello, how are you?

[quiet music plays in background]

Carlitos. Very nice to meet you.

- All right. Make yourselves comfortable.

- Braulio.

[slurred] How you doin'?

Carlitos, a beer for my pal here!

[Carlitos] On its way!

I finally found a way to work this thing.

I managed to contact the family.

- Okay

- I'm waiting for them to call me back.

- Just listen to me.

- What?

I'm not gonna lie to you.

It's been really great

to remember the old times, okay?

The past been good, but it's over.

- And done.

- Braulio, listen.

I went straight to the family

- I went especially I spoke with them.

- No, you're not listening to me.

Lighten up a little, man.

Okay?

Enjoy your life, enjoy your booze.

Huh? It's finished. It's done, man.

Hey, hey, hey.

See? That's joy, dude. [laughs]

Salud!

So, I got out of the car

to check this guy's "identicerfation."

And as he's handing it to me,

I see he's got this huge package.

- His package?

- [laughs]

You got a dirty little mind.

- No, he had a package in his pants pocket.

- [woman 4] Oh that's what it was.

[both laugh]

[woman 5] What do you think

about that woman who disappeared?

We're big fans of all those theories.

[woman 4] I heard it was planned

by a businessman

to grab some land with a view of the lake.

Where did you get that idea from?

I heard it on the radio somewhere.

- [Braulio laughs]

- I think she just packed up and left.

Why?

[woman 5] I dunno.

I think they're exaggerating.

Lots of people disappear,

and then it turns out to be nothing.

But some posh old rich b*tch goes missing

and people go berserk.

Right, but it's still sad for the family.

I mean, can you Imagine

not knowing anything?

Maybe, but you can bet

she was into something funny.

What would they say about you

if you suddenly disappeared like that?

[woman 5] What do you mean?

That you were obviously

into something funny.

How many secrets do you have, huh?

That would make your life shitty

if they were known?

And that'd be the first thing

that came out.

Okay, don't you think

you're getting way too intense?

- It was just a thought.

- It was a really stupid thought.

[Braulio] Hey, come on!

Okay, Carlitos,

will you grab me the check?

I'll get this, okay? I'll get this here

and then let's go somewhere. Wanna dance?

Mm, I don't think so.

No. With Mr. Know-It-All over here?

Not a chance in hell.

[grunts]

You really give a sh*t about that woman,

or are you only interested

in being a hero again?

Oh, dude, this sh*t is important.

Braulio, you and I know

that those jerks on the force move

at a speed that won't resolve anything

Yeah, well, it's not your case, dammit!

Forget about all that kidnapping sh*t.

Will you stop insisting it's a kidnapping?

Braulio, if this thing were a kidnapping,

they'd ask for money.

They'd keep the police

away from the whole deal.

They sure as hell wouldn't send a letter

to headquarters.

And if their intention was to defame her,

they could've sent a letter

to a newspaper.

But that's not what they did.

Therefore, dude

Mm?

Whoever wrote that letter

wanted to leave a false clue.

You get it?

It's a false clue. So

Mm.

The question is

who is it that would like to divert

the attention of the police, huh?

[Mario] I have to tell you something.

The thing is, uh, Mommy

i isn't on vacation.

Some bad people took her away,

and we don't know where she is.

Um, it's possible

we might never see her again.

So we're going to have to get used to it,

okay?

But we're going to be closer

than ever now.

[Ceci] Mario?

Can you come out for a minute?

Uh, sure.

Don't worry, sweetie. It'll be okay.

It's okay, sweetheart.

I'm right here with you.

I'll always be with you.

It's okay.

[Emi weeps]

It'll be all right. Don't worry, love.

[Emi whines]

[Ceci] What is the matter with you?

How could you say something

like that to Emi?

Vero's going to turn up.

I can't tell lies to my girls, Ceci.

I never have, with them particularly.

My daughters are intelligent girls.

Was only a matter of time

before they found out.

Shh!

Well, I'd prefer it was me who told them.

[whispers] I'm really trying.

I swear I'm trying,

but I just don't understand you.

Because they're my daughters.

I simply wanna protect them.

They're the most precious things

I have, Ceci.

I would never hurt them.

[Ceci sighs]

[mysterious music plays]

[mysterious music fades]

Mm

[mobile rings]

[ringing continues]

Hello?

Mm, yeah, this is he.

What can I do for you?

Oh? Uh

Um, good evening.

Yes.

Right, okay, okay.

Yeah, no, no, no, don't don't worry. Uh

Perfect! What I mean is, um

Let's do that. I'll stop by tomorrow.

- Okay, take care of yourself. Good night.

- Thanks again.

Have a good night.

[pleasant music plays]

[sighs]

[laughs]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[Kari] You wanna go back to work?

[sounds of water lapping]

But why?

Because

Because I wanna go back

to doing what I like again,

what I studied.

[pleasant music continues]

I can never go out of the house

because I have to stay home,

but you won't be around.

I'll never see you.

I think you're mixing things

that don't have anything

to do with each other.

They're related because

you don't let me do things

because you want me to be with you

That's very different.

That's exactly what it is.

The only thing that matters is you.

I get it.

Do whatever you want. I don't care.
