because you were fair!

Sometimes the result

is all that matters.

It's our decision,

she needn't feel guilty.

This isn't something

you can decide for her.

So what's your plan?

I don't know.

You know what annoys me?

That you know

there's no other way.

But you won't take any responsibility,

knowing that I'll fix it.

No, but I'm aware that being fair

comes with a price.

And I was willing to pay it.

You could afford to

because I took care of everything!

I'd pay any price in this situation,

if it was about me.

But I won't have my child pay it.

She's my child, too.

Is she?

Fine, then you go talk to her.

Come in.

Are you all right?

Yes, just reading this synopsis.

How did it go with Marius?

OK.

It'll all pass, you'll see.

Yeah.

When you're in Kensington Gardens,

with all those squirrels chasing you,

the world here will seem so far away,

you'll wonder if it was real.

Don't say that.

Do you think it's easy for us?

But that's life.

Children leave home

and learn to live on their own.

Don't be angry

if I don't do well in the exam tomorrow.

Eliza,

you have to do your best.

It'd be a pity to miss this chance.

Some important steps in life

depend on small things.

And some chances shouldn't be wasted.

You know, in '91,

your Mum and I decided to move back.

It was a bad decision.

We thought things would change,

we thought we'd move mountains.

We didn't move anything.

I have no regrets, though.

At least we tried.

But don't make a mistake now

just because we did.

If you do, it means

we lived for nothing, understand?

What's that?

A precaution for tomorrow's exam.

You need to do your best.

I'm sure this won't be necessary.

But we can't risk

you missing this train

for fractions of a point.

I don't understand.

You just have to cross out

3 words from the first page.

Just like here.

Regardless of the questions.

Now do you understand?

Eliza...

Sometimes, in life,

it's the result that counts.

Don't get me wrong.

We raised you to always be honest.

But this is the world we live in.

And sometimes we need to fight

using their weapons.

So this is a precaution

that gets you where you want to go,

where you deserve to go.

From there,

you can do what you think is best.

- What I think is best?

- Yes.

Trust me, if there was any way

of changing things here,

I'd urge you to stay and fight.

But it's enough that we stayed.

Let others try too,

we've done our bit.

What does Mum say?

I think she understands

that life has its winners and losers.

And we want you to be a winner.

And have a good life,

since you won't get another.

I'll let you rest now.

Put on some socks.

Don't catch cold.

Goodnight.

You can smoke,

I know you have some there.

Dad?

Yes?

Why do you always beep here?

Just to make sure.

Even when there are no cars?

Want some water?

No.

Did you bring your snack?

Yes.

Eat. It helps the brain.

Good luck. And take care.

- Could you rewind?

- Of course.

A mountain ranger

saw one of the convicts

near the chairlift.

Tomorrow we'll search for him.

That cyclist says he didn't understand

what was going on.

This other one didn't, either?

Every man for himself.

What's the world coming to?

Pause it for a moment!

Can you print me a screenshot?

What for?

Can you?

Sandu, print that

for Lieutenant Bullitt here.

Draw the blinds.

Hello.

- Got the convict?

- Tomorrow.

- Heard about the accident?

- No.

30 minutes ago, by the bridge.

Head-on collision.

3 men and one woman dead,

one man in a coma.

- Were you there?

- No.

My brother's a funeral director,

pays ambulance drivers to tip him off.

It's come to that...

Law of the jungle.

There's a lot of competition, sir.

Here it is.

Thank you.

Any news for my godfather?

Gem'.!

Not yet.

- I'm off.

- We'll keep you informed.

Goodbye.

Hi, Csilla, what's up?

Car crash. Came in an hour ago,

in a coma.

Mr. Bulai is waiting.

How is he?

Not too spry, you'll see.

Get his colonoscopy.

I have it ready for you.

Thanks.

The liver doesn't worry me so much,

I knew what to expect.

- This, however, does.

- What?

These polyps here.

Possibly the cause of your condition.

We must remove them first.

No, doctor...

This is terrible news!

No need to panic.

Good thing we saw them.

We'll run tests

and solve the problem.

- Thank you so much-

- What's this?

- Please accept it.

- We agreed...

Don't you trust me?

I do. But one can't have

an operation without paying.

- You're embarrassing me-

- Not at all.

Take it as a heartfelt gift.

It's for my peace of mind.

Mr. Bulai,

I need my peace of mind too.

So this stays here.

After the surgery,

we talk and see. Deal?

If only...

If I ever wake up from it!

Mr. Bulai, please, it's essential

that you keep a positive outlook!

My life is in your hands now.

Everything will be fine, don't worry!

I pray to God it will be!

OK, enough of this!

Have things worked out

with your daughter?

I spoke with him, yes.

Thank you.

He's a kind man.

Yes. He understood

it was difficult for me too.

Misfortunes occur. Unpredictably.

It could have been worse.

Still, it's hard.

You don't know what's best.

That's the hard part.

But if you do something earnestly,

with all your heart,

you needn't doubt yourself.

You think so?

I don't think so, I'm sure.

Please, go, go!

Yes.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm Eliza's father.

We met at the motorcycling school.

Oh, right.

Excuse me, I'm...

I didn't sleep last night.

- You were busy.

- Yes.

I d] in a club

for some extra money, so...

Everything OK with Eliza?

It's OK.

She can steer one-handed now.

We'll have to cancel the exam, right?

Yes.

- Was it on Thursday?

- It won't be possible.

- Are you waiting for her?

- Yes, I promised I would.

It's taking so long today...

Yes. Finals have got

so complicated lately.

Me, I was out in 1 hour.

'Rwy':

Ah!

Truth is, we were organized.

What school was it?

The Sports School, if you know it.

- Behind the-

- By the train station.

What do you mean "organized"?

Our specialty was sport,

so the teachers were flexible.

The reputation of the school counts.

I see.

So they let you cheat.

We had access to some sources

of inspiration, Romanian's hard...

With so much training,

we had little time to study.

You want a degree in sports?

If Eliza went to Uni in Clui,

I could try something there.

But given the new situation...

we'll see.

She'll go to England.

The scholarship's a big chance.

Of course.

Marius, I wanted to ask you something.

Go ahead.

The day Eliza was attacked,

she said you were going to meet.

Could you tell me

what happened?

I was supposed to be there at 1:50.

But the bus didn't come.

I mean, it was late.

So when I arrived,

Eliza wasn't there,

where we usually meet.

I see. Did you call her?

Of course I did, only it didn't...

she didn't answer.

It wasn't ringing.

- So, she didn't answer.

- No.

Probably...

Or it didn't get through at all?
