Bacalaureat Page #6

---

You know,

we made this effort for you.

So you wouldn't suffer.

I don't want to go to the UK anymore.

I want to stay here with Marius.

Really?

Very well then.

Very well then.

Go get a job,

see how the real world is.

But in 10 years

you might regret it.

It'll be too late.

- The lady needs the bathroom.

- OK.

Sleep here if you want.

I'll pick you up at 7.

Marius will take me.

Easy, Mum.

There now, dear.

I'm not dead yet.

Can you manage?

Yes, dear.

Hi, Magda.

Hello.

Come in.

What's wrong?

Grandma collapsed

and Eliza got scared.

She's staying over.

- Is she OK now?

- She's better, yes.

How did she do in the exam?

I don't know, she didn't say.

She came to find me at Sandra's.

She was afraid Grandma would die

so she came.

You were at Sandra's?

Yes.

How did she know you were there?

I don't know.

And what did you tell her?

Nothing.

I promised her I'd talk to you.

You shouldn't have influenced her grade.

After that,

what does all we've taught her

count for?

The same as before.

But not here.

I'll follow her.

Where?

Anywhere.

Wherever she goes,

I'll go too.

Have you asked what she thinks?

I won't be in her way.

I'll cook for her...

I'll wait for her at home...

In the student dorm?

We'll rent somewhere.

With what?

We'll rent out this place,

or sell it.

Even if Eliza hadn't found out,

it was time for you to move.

Isn't this my home too?

Not for a long time.

Once Eliza leaves, you're free

to rebuild your life

with anyone you wish.

Rebuild what?

That no longer concerns me.

Just know that, whether Eliza

goes to the UK or to Cluj,

you can't stay here anymore.

May I ask you something?

Talk to Eliza,

get her to do the exam tomorrow.

Won't you drive her?

She said Marius would.

Fine.

But you stop sleeping here

from tonight.

I need to tell Eliza something.

OK.

They're doing the grille

tomorrow.

I'll deal with it.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

- Morning.

- Hello, Elena.

Csilla wants

to see you urgently.

- She's here?

- She was called in.

Why?

She'll explain.

Coffee's ready.

Thank you.

- Is today the last exam?

- Yes, the last one.

- How's Eliza?

- Better.

God bless her.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Some prosecutors are here.

Why?

There's a warrant for Mr. Bulai.

The intern forbade them to see him

before you came.

- Why didn't you call me?

- Do you ever answer?

How is Bulai feeling?

Not so good, doctor.

- You offered them coffee?

- Yes.

Check if Eliza got to the exam.

- OK.

- Thank you.

Your car keys.

I'm taking it to be fixed.

Best of luck, doctor.

Thank you, Csilla.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Ivascu, Public Prosecutor's office.

My colleague, Mr. Albu.

- How may I help?

- Do you have a minute?

I have my rounds.

Still, sit.

We need to clarify a few things.

It won't take long.

I'm listening.

You know Mr. Alexandru Bulai?

He was admitted here.

Of course I do.

- How well?

- Not that well.

I don't mean you're friends

but you've met him before?

Sorry, but could you tell me

what this is about?

Mr. Bulai is facing criminal charges

regarding his function

as customs chief,

as well as other aspects

of his work.

I see.

And?

We'd like to discuss

some issues with him,

but his lawyer claims he's unfit.

Medically unfit.

He is very ill.

He'll die if he doesn't get

a liver very quickly.

And even then, his situation is...

I see.

So what do you recommend?

Do you think

he could stand detention?

Right now, it's out of the question.

But a talk?

Is that also too much?

Depends on how long it is.

Tell me,

would a medical commission

reach the same conclusion?

I presume so,

but since we live in Romania...

Doctors sometimes protect patients

for bad reasons...

Listen...

You see a mote in your brother's eye

but not the beam in your own.

Could you be more specific?

You have the reputation

of being an honest doctor.

You don't ask patients for incentives,

as some others do.

You're free to search my office-

There's no need for that,

and anyway, we'd need a warrant.

But you know...

Everyone has his weak spot.

I'm not sure I follow.

In very complex investigations,

certain procedures are followed,

do you understand?

Depending on the findings,

the charges can be extended.

Influence peddling,

incitement and so on.

So the suspect's calls

are intercepted.

Do you understand?

If any kind of fraud is suspected,

further investigations follow.

We know you had some conversations

with Mr. Bulai.

I greatly admire you, professionally.

And, though I may be

out of line here,

I'm sure my colleague here

and you above all

will keep this conversation confidential.

In brief,

everything you discussed

with Mr. Bulai

has been recorded and filed.

I see.

Excuse me if I'm being too blunt,

we're giving you the chance

to correct your mistakes.

"Errare humanum est",

as the Romans used to say.

You have mitigating circumstances.

We have children too.

We don't know

what we'd have done in your place.

But the law's the law.

He who persists in illegality

will probably have to pay for it.

As for Mr. Bulai,

with your permission,

we'd still like to talk to him today,

ask him a few questions.

That won't be possible.

Why?

Because I can't do that.

I hope you understand.

I'm very sorry to hear that, doctor.

I do understand.

And I respect your decision.

But I think you should reconsider.

These investigations

can be very unpleasant.

For your daughter too,

even if it's not her fault.

You're here at 10 tomorrow?

Tomorrow and any other day.

Then we'll see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Think about it.

Sometimes it helps to sleep on it.

If I may ask,

just out of curiosity...

Are these real?

Yes.

Then my colleague was wrong.

Have a nice day.

What did the morticians want?

Don't worry, it's OK.

Were they prosecutors?

Yes, but they're not after us.

They're after

this patient of mine, Bulai.

They'll see, when they end up here.

They're doing their job.

If they'd done it on time,

we wouldn't be here.

They're young.

Maybe they'll make things better.

How?

Besides, it's too late for us.

It is, but what can we do?

Let me know if I can help.

Can you handle things here?

I have something to do.

Sure, doctor, go.

And be careful.

I will.

Thanks.

Inspector!

There's someone here to see you.

Hey. How are you?

How do you think?

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

I know you didn't.

The thing is, my child is involved.

You really need to talk to her.

Talk about what?

You need your stories to match.

How could I do such a thing?

- Want me to talk to her?

- No.

I won't involve Eliza anymore.

I'll try to find out

something about these guys.

Find out what?

We need to know how to handle them.

Let's not complicate things further.

I'll speak to them,

figure something out.

As you wish.

Come to the police station

at 9 for the line-up.

You think you'll catch him?

We'll catch that dirty motherf***er.

Listen...

Yes?

I have this feeling
