but I want to be sure

you realize the people

who want to be your parents are...

- Do you realize?

- Yes.

I know it's their fault father's dead.

Andreu is leaving.

His father would have wanted it.

No, mother.

It's what I want.

You traitor! You promised me.

How can you leave me alone?

If I can leave my mother,

why wouldn't I leave you?

Put that in here.

So, ready to go?

If you forgot something,

we'll stop back to get it.

Now go say goodbye to your family.

...Polyphemus in "The Odyssey"

represents what is monstrous

because it only has

one eye and is a giant.

Also, and this is important,

because its human nature

was corrupted

until becoming a being

of a nature different

from the one it had

or that was hidden within...

Yes?

Visit for Andres Manubens.

You, face the wall!

How are you? So, studying a lot?

- Do they treat you OK?

- Yes, very well.

I want no complaints about you.

Show them we taught you well,

you have good manners.

You can sit, mother.

I brought you sausage

and everything you like.

I had to change shifts at the factory,

change trains, take 2 buses.

You have no idea.

If it's so hard, don't come anymore.

That's not why I said it, silly.

You feel that's the way to treat me?

You know, Andreu?

I wish things

had gone differently too.

I swear I've worked myself

to the bone.

I've done nothing but

work and work for you

for your father... for everyone.

And I will till the day I die...

I'll cover my own face

with the sheet

just so I won't have

to trouble anyone.

Your dad would be so happy

to see you here, so many books.

Forget about father.

I have to get back to class.

You like being here?

Yes. I like it a lot.

I want you to know

you're here thanks to him.

Remember the letter he gave you

in prison for the Manubens?

It said he wouldn't report them if

they gave you everything you need.

You understand?

He let himself be killed

so you could be here.

I've forgiven your father.

Maybe you should

forgive him too.

- Hey, Andreu!

- What?

Who was that weird woman?

Someone from my town

with a package for me.
