Betrayal Page #2

---

Is whiskey OK?

Why not?

Thanks.

- Want more?

- Yes.

Why are you laughing?

Just because.

By the way, what do you do?

Doesn't matter.

Are you cold?

I'm OK.

Let's have more.

A thunderstorm.

Great.

We need to find cover.

Are you scared?

I'm scared for you.

We're not that close.

I have to go.

I've got a son waiting.

- Go.

- Let's go.

- Don't yell!

- Let's go!

Go!

Everyone's scared.

Did you get caught in the rain?

No. You?

I did.

The flowers?

I threw them out. They died.

Not too much salt I hope?

No...

It's great.

Did you cook it?

Yes.

I never told you before,

but I like to cook.

Of course, mom does it better...

Are you OK?

- I don't know how to tell you.

- Tell me what?

It's mom.

Try to understand...

How do I say it...

She's no longer with us.

She died.

In an accident.

She fell from a great height.

I don't get it.

She died.

She's gone.

Where is she?

She's gone.

Why?

No.

There was a balcony.

A piece of it went loose.

She leaned against

the railing and fell.

A balcony? Where?

At a hotel.

What was she doing there?

- Where is she now?

- In the morgue.

You're here?

Come in!

Both of you.

We came for the burial permit.

You think I'll give you one?

Why not?

There's something...

I don't get.

How could...

they fall like this?

By accident.

- By accident?

- Well, yes.

It was an accident.

What were you doing at the hotel?

Sorry, we should have told you at once.

We're lovers.

You, too?

That's interesting.

Why didn't you tell me then?

We thought it didn't matter.

That you are lovers?

Yes.

And that you

were there that night?

It's a coincidence.

You know.

I'm not giving you

the burial permit

until the investigation is over.

Are they going

to stay in the morgue?

They're not the only ones to stay in there.

You think they're somewhat special?

Why did you say we're lovers?

Would the truth be better?

I think it would.

You could have told her, then.

Is your wife beautiful?

Ask your husband.

Sorry, it's the stress.

Are you going to give

him a church funeral?

Do you think it's necessary?

I guess.

A church funeral?

- Why would you need a church funeral?

- Laugh one more time, and I'll hit you.

Thank you.

I feel better now.

I feel better now.

I decided I will do without

a church funeral.

I think it won't help them.

Why didn't you come earlier?

I killed them.

Alone?

Yes. She's innocent.

It was me.

I detached the railing

from the wall.

It was loose to start with.

She's innocent.

Write down your statement.

Here's your permit.

Go.

This is for your girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend.

Doesn't matter.

Can I go?

Kiss me.

I beg your pardon?

Kiss me.

On the lips.

Go.

You were so outgoing.

Always nice and cheerful,

generous and giving.

Thank you for the joy

you've given us.

You left us

so young and beautiful,

and that's how we'll

always remember you.

Good-bye.

You have always been an example

of discipline and high moral values.

You always had our

sincere admiration.

We grieve for you deeply,

and will always remember you.

Time to say good-bye.

Here?

What do you want?

I wanted to talk.

About what?

I can't stop thinking of you.

Are you crazy?

I want to go on seeing you.

Please don't call me anymore.

I don't ever want

to hear from you again.

Stay away from me.

I thought you got lost.

The forest here is too thin. I had to

walk quite far away from the road.

Give me the map.

Or you could just follow us.

All right, thanks.

Why are we following them?

They're going in

the same direction.

Is this really necessary?

It's late. We need

to stop for the night.

I am falling asleep...

We could swim in the pool

tomorrow morning...

They have a pool here?

Yeah.

I thought you were sleepy...

Ionized water.

It has a rejuvenating effect.

Please put out the lights

before leaving.

The water's nice.

Ionized. They say it's rejuvenating.

Was that your husband?

Yes.

How long has it been?

No idea.

You look great.

You mean I'm well preserved?

No, I mean you look terrific.

You too.

You never moved?

No.

- How's life?

- Good. For you?

Not bad.

How old is your boy?

Five. Do you have kids?

I can't have children.

Sorry.

Really, you do look amazing.

Thank you.

I think

I'm going to go now.

- Did you sleep well?

- Very well, thanks.

Good morning!

Did you enjoy the pool?

Yes, thanks.

Did you go swimming? When?

This morning. I couldn't sleep.

It's small, and not too clean.

- Did you sleep well?

- Yes, and you?

Very well.

When are you leaving?

Around ten.

Same time as us.

I think we won't get lost now.

Thank you.

Look how well you eat.

Good boy.

- Coffee?

- No, thanks.

Coffee, please.

Two more, please.

It's stuffy in here.

Yes.

Can you describe the pain?

- No.

- You told me you had stabbing pain.

It's different.

Does it hurt more at

any specific time of day?

In the morning, or in the evening?

It used to hurt more after PE at school.

Now, it hurts all the time.

What's that knife for? Tell the

doctor why you always carry a knife.

Why do you carry it?

To protect myself.

All right, get undressed.

I'll listen to your heart.

Am I going to die?

No.

Your condition is often

linked to fear of death.

- I don't want to die.

- Oh, stop it already!

I'm sick of hearing it. All she

ever talks about is death!

- I'm not interested in talking about

anything else! - Really?

Keep still. Sit on the couch.

Could you wait outside, please?

Do you want to talk about death?

Go ahead.

It's intimidating.

What else?

Look,

death is beautiful.

The most beautiful thing that

can ever happen to you.

Really?

Yes.

You have a strong heart.

You will live a very long life.

Can I do sports?

Yes. But don't strain yourself.

Next!

Hello.

Hello.

I thought you moved.

I did. I'm here for a visit.

Any complaints?

Well... I just don't

feel very good.

Take off your clothes.

I'll listen to your heart.

All of them?

From the waist up.

Too cold?

I can't live without you.

I can't.

OK.

Now, get dressed

and lay on the couch.

Your heartbeat is a little

faster than normal.

No reason to worry, though.

I'm staying at the same place.

Where have you been?

I've sent you a message.

But you didn't say you'd

be home at 2 a.m.

I didn't realize it was so late.

I was worried something had

happened to you.

Like what?

Come on, go to bed.

I'll be there in a minute.

I think she knows.

So what?

She's suffering.

She will get used to it.

It's always like that.

I need to stop, of course...

But I can't. I've been thinking

about you all this time.

Do you think of your

first wife sometimes?

Let's not talk of them.

They're dead.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Do they always come together?

Sometimes they do.

Which room again?

Excuse me.

I locked my card inside the room.

- There you go.

- Thanks a lot.

I'm so sweaty.

Do you want to go

swimming once again?

No.

I'm going to the shower.

I'll go.

I can't stay any longer.
