Ava Page #2

- Really?

- Yes.

Great, Mum, I'm happy for you.

You are?

And are you in love?

Stop it.

Who did this?

I had a fight with Juan.

Oh, my God!

What happened to him?

- Mum!

- What?

What?

Sh*t...

Sh*t, Ava, step back!

What's this mutt doing here?

Get the first-aid kit.

Go on, hold him.

I'll lift his paw.

Hold on...

Weird,

I can't find a cut.

He doesn't have an open wound.

What?

It's not his blood.

Sh*t...

Are you ok?

Wake up!

No, stay with me...

There...

You have to drink.

Just a little.

Right, I have to go now.

Ins is with the babysitter.

We're alone.

I f***ing stink!

It's unbearable.

Time for a shower.

Wow, that's good.

Let me see...

Move.

Sh*t...

What are you doing?

Zygomatics.

To fight wrinkles.

Do I wear makeup tonight?

No, I prefer you without.

- Let me do your eyes.

- No.

Hold on...

Try this on.

Here...

Let me see.

You're gorgeous.

Wow...

You're intriguing.

And dark, like your father.

Mum, I can't stand you anymore.

Your voice, your smell, the lot.

I can't take it.

How do I look?

Second-rate.

And how do I look?

Spiteful.

I think

poison must be burning your eyes.

Know what scares me?

No.

Having seen only ugliness.

Meaning?

Want to kiss me?

I don't know.

Go on, do it.

Right now?

When push comes to shove...

Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.

Was it good?

We're being watched.

I'll beat him up.

Ice cream?

I want to go home, Mathias.

- If I strip, will you stay?

- No.

See you later.

Hey, Cinderella!

Lupo...

Want to go out?

I can't even open the door...

Come here!

All of you, come on!

That door, there.

Hi.

I've brought you stuff.

Biscuits...

Coke...

And a first-aid kit.

Sorry, it's all I had.

Antiseptic, bandages...

This doesn't sting.

Take it, it's for you.

You're going?

Wait!

Hello!

August 20th.

Sunrise:
6:50 am.

Sunset:
8:58 pm.

14 hours and 8 minutes of light.

20 minutes lost in 5 days.

I can't see in low light now.

I thought I was ready,

but it came as a shock.

I slept against him.

The circle is closing.

Animals lurk in the dark, waiting.

Will my dreams vanish too?

I'd gouge out my eyes to end it.

Mathias said civilization is ending.

Night is taking over.

August 22nd.

Sunrise:
6:52 am.

Sunset:
8:54 pm.

14 hours and 2 minutes of light.

The wound is healing.

His face is incredible.

Not seeing it would've killed me.

When we part,

I can't recall his features.

So I want to see him again.

I want to save him.

I want to be saved.

Can I stay with you?

No.

Why d'you live in a blockhouse?

I don't live in one.

What?

- Can I do it?

- If you want.

Is it clay?

Yeah.

Sure this is ok?

Yeah.

Your eyes are weird.

It's the sun.

- What is it?

- You can't see.

What is it?

- Short-sighted?

- I see fine.

Are you serious?

You didn't see the potato.

No, I don't see well.

What does that mean?

It means what it means.

What do you see?

Nothing. Only black at night.

And by day?

By day, I see normally.

Not very well, but normally.

You see nothing now?

No.

Can you see my hand?

Afraid of the dark?

No.

Come closer.

Come closer.

Spread your legs!

Hands on your head!

On your head!

Understand French?

Got stuff here?

- Inside.

- Fetch it!

She's a minor. Her mum's frantic.

Realize what you're doing?

Got anything on you? Step back.

Put it down!

- Take off his cuffs!

- Don't screw up!

I'm freeing him.

Your gun!

- What now?

- The dunes!

Quick!

Get lost!

Freeze!

Stay there!

You're fierce.

- Were you stabbed?

- Yes.

- Who did it?

- Forget it.

Offer me a drink?

Why aren't you at home?

I'm not welcome there.

Why not?

You killed someone?

You're crazy.

I'm going away.

- Where?

- Dunno. Far away.

I was in Denmark once.

It's great.

But pick the time

or it's dark for six months.

People do light therapy to stay sane.

What?

Light therapy.

You're in a box with light on you,

to feel better.

Right...

You'll go by motorbike?

No, by car.

But I don't have the keys.

Or the car.

Where are they?

At the site.

You can't get them?

I told you, I can't set foot there.

I can go.

What's this?

With a knife...

A knife?

I was in a cornfield.

I was carving some wood with a knife.

A snake crawled onto my leg.

See?

I cut off its head with the knife.

Bullshit. You don't cut off

a snake's head like that.

It can't be done.

Right.

It's true though.

Its tail was wriggling.

After, I got yelled at because

my mother said knives aren't for girls.

She's right, isn't she?

Still want to help?

Yeah.

There's a wedding Saturday.

They hire girls to help.

With the tables and all.

You could pretend to be one of them.

You go in, you take my keys...

my papers and we split together.

Really?

Yeah.

Why can't you go there?

I was in a fight.

It ended badly.

I wrecked the guy and...

End of story.

And your parents?

You've no one who can help you?

No.

My brother's in jail.

- For long?

- 24 months.

You miss him?

Why did you fight?

For a girl.

I love it.

It's like a cute animal.

Who?

Why's it over with the girl?

No idea.

She still loves you?

No idea.

Let me shower in peace.

D'you love her?

Tell me, do you?

Shut your mouth!

Here, eat.

This is the site.

The river...

- What is this?

- Our plan.

A river here.

Another here.

The entrance.

We arrive here.

The wedding will be here.

The newlyweds arrive at 7.

Be there just a bit earlier

to do the tables and all that.

You'll be Julie.

What's up?

I told you, I won't forget her.

Let's get that clear.

I didn't warn you?

Carry on.

Next...

The caravans...

The third one's mine.

There's a small dog.

A sort of chihuahua,

but maybe it's not one.

A small dog anyhow.

Look inside a black bag.

Check my things are in it.

The car keys are in the pouch.

And the car's here.

We meet here.

You have three hours to dark.

No problem.

Great.

Helping doesn't mean I love you.

It's for the best.

Mum, it's me.

Ava? Where are you?

Calm down, Mum. Calm down.

No, I won't calm down!

I'm calling to say I'm fine

and I'll be back soon.

You know what you did?

The cops called! Who are you with?

Calm down. I'll be back soon,

but not just yet.

What do you mean, soon?

Where can I call you?

You can't call me.

I hid the number. You can't call me.

Take care, Mum.

Ava, don't hang up!

Juan!

Honey, I talk to you

With you, honey, life is beautiful

That's it there.

Follow the road

to a small bridge at the entrance.

You'll see a grey car there, a Nevada.

It's mine.

A Nevada?

Know what that is?

Yeah, I'll find it.

I'll be waiting.

Who are you?

Julie.

Julie who?

To wait on tables.

No one mentioned a Julie.

To wait on tables.

Who hired you? Soledad?

She told you what to do?

I don't pay until after, ok.

Yes.

Let's hurry up then.

Hey, you! Come on!

One black and one red...

I hope the punch turns out well.

- You need a warrant.

- Not here.

What's up?

Go back to the kitchen.

Julie?

Julie!

Can you come here?

We need to put the flowers around it...
