"Matilda Lazar." "Your approval for the leave." "Sign here for 24 hours..." "Until tomorrow morning, at 6AM." "Purse, handkerchief, lotion, eyeliner lipstick, mascara, powder, and a pair of tweezers." "Check if something's missing." "Mr. Virgil?" "They let you out so fast?" "Yeah." "How's Cornelia in there?" "Trying to hang on..." "Thanks for coming." "Forget about it..." "I already promised her, so I'll help you." "Aren't we gettin' in?" "Come." "About the money as agreed, right?" "1500 Euros." "Yeah..." "but I don't have it on me right now." "I'll have it later." "Look, I have to be in Constanta no later than afternoon, OK?" " You gonna be ready, or not?" " Yeah." "If I don't have it in time, I'll stay till I gather it." "I'll take the train and we'll meet tonight in the harbor." "What train?" "!" "..." "Will you be ready, or what?" "Sure, was just saying, in case I don't have it..." "I'll take the train." "You won't have to wait for me." "Be careful, we're not playing games here!" "I said I'll take you to the ship and that's final!" " At 2PM, Okay?" " Yeah, I'll have the money by 2." "Pick me up from the Aurora hotel, as discussed." " Don't be late, I won't wait!" " Okay." "Take food and some clothes... you'll be locked down there for a few days." "Let's go." "Where can I drop you off?" "The hotel?" "No, the subway." "Any station will do." "I..." "When were you gonna tell me?" "All quiet?" "What do you want me to say?" "Don't know..." ""How are you?"... "You look great"..." "At least you've recognized me." "You look tired." "Are you sick?" "No... why?" "You look a bit tired, that's all!" "You haven't changed too much." "How long have you been in there?" "Two years and three months." "If you're here for money, I can't help you." "I'm married..." "The little one will go to school soon..." "Relax... that's not why I'm here." "Then why are you here?" "Take me with you." "You're really something!" "Ain't enough you made a laughing stock out of us?" "And for what?" "Tell me... why?" "!" "You're not welcome home, get it?" "They let me out for the funeral." "One day only... tonight I go back." "And then, three more years..." "I don't have anyone to go with." "You're the only one I have." "You think I don't know what I did?" " I know, but now..." " Again with this shit?" "!" " You want me to get on my knees and beg?" " Lower your voice!" "I just wanna come." "Lower your voice!" "This is not your cell!" "Say what you want, I'm coming anyway." "Well, you can't stay long, understood?" "We take you there, you see her, then you're gone." "Is that clear?" "Don't you have anything to eat?" "Anything... an apple, some bread..." "The state ain't feeding you anymore?" "I'll get ready..." "Listen..." "Why does she have to come?" "You're still pampering her, after all she's done to you..." "What pampering?" "!" "Are you nuts?" "Why did you tell her she can come along?" "What was I supposed to do?" "Tell me!" "I wouldn't have let her in." "Why did you let her in?" "What's wrong with you today?" "Don't play with that." "Please, don't play with it." "Sweetie don't play with that gun." "Put it back!" "And what are you so nervous about?" "You can still tell her not to come." "Come here baby!" " I mean not to come at all..." " Don't start again!" "I'm not starting anything." "Baby, put the shoes on." "Be careful." "I'm telling you, she wants to rip you off again." "Leave it there, baby." "Put it down, what are you doing?" "Andrei will open the trunk." "What are you doing?" "!" " Did you take the money for the priest?" " Yes." "Put it in there, we'll give it at the end." "You'd better throw her out on the streets, where she belongs." "Honey, enough!" "Enough?" "..." "Can't you see she's mocking us all?" "And we kiss her feet." "The lady paid us a visit..." "Hon', cut it out!" "Listen..." "Happy you put her into an early grave?" "Now it's my fault?" "!" "No... of course not..." "You've been a saint all your life." "Don't start with this crap." "I left home, so?" "I didn't take anything and never asked for any favors." " And you think I had it easy afterwards?" " Right..." "Look who's talking!" "Can we stop for some food?" " Why stop?" "You've just ate!" " We are almost there." " Give me 200." " Do we have enough gas?" "Of course." "For coming back, too." " Buy me a pack of Marlboro Menthol." " Buy him something to eat, too." " Buy me a pack of Marlboro Menthol." " Buy him something to eat, too." "Mommy!" "Can I have some chocolate?" "Not on an empty stomach, sweetie." "Let's go." "Leave that gun here, or..." "Let him be!" " What do you want?" " Chocolate." "Listen, Matilda..." "Tell me exactly, what's going on." "Why did you show up now?" "You think, Andrei's stupid, or what?" "If you tell me you're here for the funeral, I won't believe you, OK?" "I know you all too well." "Always complaining, always asking for something..." "You're not here for nothing, right?" "Look... if you're here for money, I'm tellin' you, we don't have it!" "Is that it?" "What do you want from us, tell me!" "You suddenly care for your mom, after ten years, or what?" " Mind your own life!" " Excuse me?" "!" "Just cut the bullshit." "It ain't your fucking business." "Get in!" "The little one wanted to rob the place!" "Here..." "They didn't have Menthol." "Please stay put!" "Be a good boy now!" "That's it!" "You'll get it back when we get home." "Don't be so stressed out!" "That's how kids are!" "Sure..." "As if you knew how kids are!" "I have a kid, so I know." "What?" "!" "Since when?" "He'll be 8 in a couple of months." "How come I know nothing about it?" "8 years?" " He was staying more with his father." " Are you serious?" "!" "And who's the father?" "A guy..." " And where is he now?" " Still with his father." " And why didn't you tell me about it?" " There was no use." "What's his name?" "Toma." "Toma?" "..." "That's really something!" "I have an 8 year old nephew I knew nothing about." "Great!" "What's wrong?" "Aren't you coming?" "I'd better wait here." "Isn't this why you came?" "!" "Okay... you can wait here." "She's ashamed now have mercy." "Let us pray to the Lord." "God of spirits and of all flesh." "Who has trampled down death, and overthrown the devil, give rest to the soul of Thy departed servant Maria." "In a place of light and repose, whence all sorrow and sighing are fled away." "Pardon every sin she committed in word, deed, thought, in that Thou art a good God." "For there is no man that lived and sinned not, for Thou art alone without sin." "Thy righteousness is eternal and Thy word is truth." "We pray for the repose of the soul of your departed servant Maria." "Lord have mercy." "Sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be clean." "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." "May God forgive her soul." " You Okay ?" " Nope." "What did you expect?" "Hugs and kisses?" "As if you didn't know them..." "For all I care they can all go to hell." "You've torn the orchard down." "Well yeah... we needed room for the new house, but we don't seem able to finish it." "We cut down the walnut tree, too..." "after you ran away." "Pity about the orchard it was beautiful." "We used to play there a lot." "Give me a smoke, will ya?" "So..." "I got me a nephew..." "Such a big secret and you didn't tell anyone..." "I had nothing to tell." "How nice of you!" "You've turned me into an uncle now, just like that!" "And you haven't seen him since you went in?" "It's been two years." "How's in there?" "How can it be?" "It's the jail..." " What time is it?" " Almost 11." "I wanna ask you something..." "What?" "Can you take Toma in with you?" "Take him in?" "..." "So you can take care of him." "What do you mean "take care of him"?" "!" "Until they let me out for good." "You want me to raise him?" "!" "Oh... so that's why you're here!" "To leave the kid with me, and..." "Where am I supposed to keep him?" "What about his father?" "His father is Paul." "You made a child with that man?" "!" " And he has the kid now?" " Yeah." "So... can you help or not?" "I don't know..." "I really don't..." "What's wrong with her?" "Nothing..." "She's ashamed." " Well..." "I'm ashamed, too." " Why?" "Don't you see how people stare at her?" "Who cares?" "Forget about them!" "Forget about them?" "!" "She's here for half a day and she spends it smoking." " See the priest?" " Lower your voice!" "OK!" "Did you tell her to sit back?" "I did." "She's finishing the cigarette and she's coming." " I'll go talk to her." " Why?" "Don't... wait..." "She asked me for money." "What?" "!" "I told you that's what she wants." "How many times did I tell you she takes you for a fool?" "Andrei..." "She asked me for money, what's the big deal?" "She asked you for money." "Are you going to give her?" " I told her we'll see." " See what?" " Well... we'll talk." " Talk about what?" "!" " Do you have money to give?" " Hon', really... we'll do what's best, Okay?" "You're really stupid, Andrei." "She's turned you into a fool." "Calm down, woman!" "Calm down, now!" " Okay." "Do as you please." " I'll do as I please, but calm down." "Calm down already!" "OK." "It's a funeral!" "You crazy, or what?" "Are you completely nuts?" "Think we're stupid, or somethin'?" " You think Andrei's dumb?" "!" " Wait a sec..." " Have you no shame?" " Take your hand off me!" " Wait..." " Get out." "Take your fucking hand off me!" "Who the fuck do you think you are?" "!" "You're not throwing me out of my own home!" "Andrei!" "Did you take care of mom to come with this shit?" "Get out!" "Move your ass!" "Andrei!" "Leave your brother alone, he won't help you." "Don't call him and stop hiding behind his back..." "Take your hand off me!" "Don't worry, I'm leaving!" "Fuck all of you!" "Gotcha!" " How you doing?" "!" " Okay." "How did you get in?" "Nobody at the door?" "Marcel was there..." "And he let you in, just like that?" "They let you out on good behavior, or what?" "Yup." "So soon?" "Good for you!" "You gonna offer me a coffee?" "Wait..." "I have to take my shoes." "Where you going?" "I'm going for a coffee, Okay?" "Wait here till I'm back." "So what did you do all this time?" "What else could I do here?" "Business as usual..." "And Toma?" "How is he?" "Why you asking me?" "I did leave him with you, didn't I?" " Did you?" "!" " Yes!" "He's Okay, Toma's Okay." "He's Okay... but where is he?" " Do you see him around here?" " No..." "Where is he?" "At school, I suppose..." "He can't be at school, it's Saturday!" "I put him in an orphanage." "You did what?" "!" "Can't you hear me?" "!" "I put him in an orphanage." "I couldn't keep him here, at the hotel..." "He's a big boy now..." "What would they say?" " How could you do this to your own child?" " Gimme a break, will ya?" "You didn't give a rat's ass for him these years, not even a phonecall." "And now you preach me?" "What phonecall?" "You think I had a choice?" " You didn't?" "!" " No!" "You had a choice, but you made the wrong one." "You never believed he was yours, anyway..." "Again with this shit?" "About the money." "Can I have it now?" "What money?" "Are you shitting me, or what?" " Sweetheart... what money?" " What do you mean "what money"?" "What was our agreement?" "Well... our agreement was for when you got out..." " Well..." "I'm out." " You are, but earlier." "Earlier?" "I've been in there for two whole years!" "Right, two!" "I was expecting you three years from now..." "That's Okay, you'll pay me sooner." "That's not what we agreed upon." "You wait another three years and then I'll give you everything." " That was our deal." " No!" "I need that money now." "Are you deaf, or what?" "You really wanna piss me off?" "We said five years, so I'll give it to you after five years!" "Now I have nothing." " You don't have money?" "!" " I've just told you..." "You know, I could go to the police and tell them everything..." "Are you nuts?" "!" "What the fuck is wrong with you today?" "I just don't have it, get it?" "How was I supposed to know you'd show up out of the blue..." "What do you need the money for?" "I wanna leave..." "I'm going far away." "I ain't coming back." "How we used to plan... remember?" "You'll never come back?" "No." "Okay then..." "Shall we?" "My respects, Mr. Cezar!" "I'm doing fine." "As always..." "Yes, I'm listening!" "Sure!" "Earlier is fine..." "You know I'll do anything for you." "So, our usual spot?" "All right." "All my best." "And thank you so much!" "Here... 300 Euros." "What the fuck can I do with 300 Euros?" "That's all I have." "OK, I'll tell the police everything..." "I'm not your stupid broad, you know?" "Why it's my fault you cut that guy's face up?" "Who took me to that crazy fuck?" "..." "I went to jail innocent and you're still bullshitting me?" "What do you mean, innocent?" "!" "That's the least you can do." "Then I'm gone, you won't see me again." "2 grand." "No, we settled for 10." "10 grand would be fair." "You want fair?" "4 grand is fair." "10 was for 5 years, right?" "10 divided by 5 is 2 grand a year." "You've been in for 2 years, 2 times 2 is 4." "So OK, I give you 4 grand now and we forget everything." "If not, see you in three years." "Agreed?" "And no more turning back!" " What's the time?" " 2:10" "I was supposed to be outside at 2 sharp." "What about the rest of the money?" "I have to get some from a buddy of mine." "Now?" "Yes." "Let's go, we're going there." " Where's Selena?" " She's outside." "My regards, sir!" "What's up?" "Why are you staring at the sun like that?" "Why the fuck are you so stupid, too?" "Let's go, Cezar's just called." "Finally." "We should've been on our way already." "Well?" "You gonna get in or what?" "I can't leave right now." "What do you mean?" "!" "I know I said I would, but I can't right now." "Are you in trouble?" "Got the money?" "No..." "But I'll have it when we get on the boat." " You said you'd bring it now..." " I'll have it later, my word of honor." "So..." "We'll do as I said, right?" "I'll take the train and we'll meet tonight in the harbor." "With the money!" "Gimme that paper..." "I'll put my number down." "Here it is." "Call me when you get to the station, not the harbor!" "I'll pick you up, so you won't be late." "Okay..." "Good luck!" "See you in Constanta." "Bye..." " Take me to Toma as well." " Why?" "I wanna see him!" "You're leaving with that truck?" "No." "And what's with you?" "Tell me!" "I'm not going with Cezar!" "Why?" "I don't want to!" "You don't want to?" "!" "I don't feel like it!" "Meaning what?" "They'll start with their crazy shit again." "Eeh..." "They won't start anything." "Last time it got pretty bad..." "What did they do to her?" "Nothing." " What did they do to you, huh?" " Nothing." "Can't you hear?" "Why the fuck do you care?" "I'm not going!" "I'm telling you!" "Okay... as you wish..." "Promise?" "It's a promise, what the fuck?" "!" "Wait here." "How old are you?" "You don't wanna tell me?" "What's your name then?" " Why won't you talk to me?" " Piss off!" "Look..." "If they beat you up, they'll do it again..." "And if something worse happens, don't expect Paul to take care of you..." "Paul treats me very well." "Listen to me, I know what I'm talking about." "How long do you want to continue like this?" "Why the fuck do you care so much?" "!" "I don't..." "I'm on my way out, so I couldn't care less." " Then give me a break, will ya?" " All I want is..." "What the fuck do you want, cunt?" "!" "You jealous, or somethin'?" "Mind your own damn business, and leave me the fuck alone!" " Youth infusion..." " Sure thing!" "This is our job!" "Mind your steps here." "What are you doing?" "!" " Be a good girl..." " You promised me!" "Nothing will go wrong..." "I'm scared shitless..." "It's the last time, I promise!" "I beg you..." "You know how much I love you." "If you say so..." "Ready?" "What orphanage did you put him in?" "St. Andrew's." "Is he alright in there?" "Tell me!" "He's great, stop bothering me." "You wanna say good-bye, or somethin'?" "No, I wanna take him with me." " So you'll take me there!" " Did I say I'll take you?" "!" "I won't get out of the car!" "You'll take me there and that's it." "Understood?" "And gimme the money!" "You hear me?" " How much is in there?" "!" " 12 grand." " What?" " That's what he gave me." "You trying to fool me?" "Here, another two grand..." "We're even." "What about the rest?" "The rest is none of your business." " You said you didn't have money!" " Back then, I didn't..." " But now, you have..." " Now we have a different agreement." "No way!" "Gimme all my money or else..." "Here we go again!" "I just gave you what I've promised, You think this' all mine?" "!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "What the..." "Fuck!" "What do you think you're doing, huh?" "Already finished, baby?" "Hello..." "What?" "..." "I can't hear you!" "He's doing what?" "!" "Selena..." "I thought we've discussed it..." "Let him do what he wants..." "If that's what gets it up for him..." "You think I like it?" "!" "Look, Selena..." "You idiot..." "Fucking bitch!" "You cunt!" "Did you take my watch?" " What?" " Did you go through my closet?" "!" "I didn't... you nuts, or something?" "Then who did?" "!" "It was here this morning..." "I don't know, gimme a break!" "There it is, Room 23." "Is this Toma's room?" "Tell me!" "Wait..." "Maybe Toma took my watch..." "What?" "!" "Tell me!" "Was it him?" "What do you have against Toma?" "He took my watch!" "Are you crazy?" "!" "Come here!" "Hey!" "I'm gonna kill you!" "Accusing Toma again?" "!" "..." "Stop!" "Fuck you!" "Leave Toma alone, OK?" "I'll show you fucker!" " Get some!" " Enough!" "Sit over there!" "Do you know where Toma is?" "Yes or no." "Spill it out!" "Daniel knows..." "He was just about to go get him..." "Let's go outside!" "Out!" "Now!" "M'am, tell him to bring my watch back!" "Don't care about your fucking watch!" "Move!" "And you are?" "..." "Daniel... his bro." "Make a right here..." "Sure this is the right place?" "Leave the meter running, we'll be back in ten minutes." "Wait here, I'll go look for him." "He must be here, somewhere..." "Hey!" "Hey!" " What were you doin' here, huh?" " Nothing!" " What the fuck is going on here?" " Nothing!" "Bullshit!" "What was that man doing with Toma?" " Who was that guy?" "Tell me!" " Ovidiu." " Ovidiu who?" "!" " I was gonna sell him a watch..." "What watch?" "!" "What watch?" "..." " Speak up!" " A watch..." "Toma!" "Toma, tell me..." "You tell me..." "What did he do to you?" "Don't be afraid..." "What did he do to you?" "You can tell me." " That's it, let's go!" " Toma, let me come with you." " No!" " Toma, tell her!" " I'm not leaving you, tell her." " No!" " Take your fucking hands off him!" " Please Toma, tell her I'm coming." " Please Toma, tell her..." " OK Toma, say something!" "Come on Toma!" "Now say something!" "Get the fuck away!" "Get lost!" "Toma!" "Hey!" "Don't go with her!" "Hey!" "..." "Toma!" "You are my brother!" "Come back!" "Don't go with her!" "Take your shirt off." "Take it off!" "Come up here." "What were you doing with that guy in the car, huh?" "You weren't selling any watch, were you?" "You're not telling me?" "Is that what you do now?" "!" "..." "You're still so thin..." "Come." "Wait..." "I've been looking for you all day long." "From now on I'll take care of you." "Come on." "Come!" "No..." "Be a good boy now!" "You know how much I love you..." "Hello!" "Mr. Virgil?" "Matilda here..." "Yeah..." "So, I bought a ticket for the 7 o'clock train... and I'll be there around 11..." "Yeah..." "We'll meet in the Constanta train station, right?" "Yes..." "Of course, I have the money and everything..." "Good bye..." "Gimme me a cigarette!" "You smoke well, no coughing..." "Let me show you somethin'..." " Wow!" "That's a lot of cash!" " We'll spend it all at the seaside." "Where did you get it from?" "Doesn't matter." "From dad?" "No." "No, not from dad..." "I wanted Daniel to come, too..." "Everything will be alright!" "You're my lucky charm, kiddo..." "Last stop before Constanta." "The train leaves in 45 minutes." "We're almost there..."
