BETRAYAL:

Here you go.

Please take off your clothes.

- All of them?

- Above your waist.

Have you ever had a

prophylactic examination?

No.

Have you been here before?

What for? I'm OK.

Lay down, please.

Keep still,

the charge is very weak.

- I just don't like to be...

- Touched by a stranger?

Many people don't like that.

Any complaints?

No.

Your heart?

It's OK.

I haven't been feeling

too good lately...

Why?

My husband has been

cheating on me.

I'm sorry to hear that.

He cheats on me with your wife.

I don't get it. Why?

What do you mean?

Why tell me?

Because you came here.

I came for a checkup.

That's how it usually is.

Someone lives a peaceful life,

thinks he's healthy.

Then he comes in for

a routine checkup and...

That's not true.

I'm glad I met you.

Good-bye.

Easy, easy.

Are you OK, man?

I'm OK.

Somebody call 911!

Call 911!

Does it hurt?

Will somebody call 911?

- Yes?

- It's me. I've lost my keys.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I can tell something's wrong.

- Where were you?

- We had a medical checkup.

And?

Have they found something?

What is it?

What is it?

Nothing.

You scared me.

Are you going to eat?

We're out of white bread.

Is that all right?

A woman in our office is

selling a parcel of land.

The foundations already done.

And it's cheap too.

You want to build a cottage?

You told me yourself it would

be great to have a country house.

Have you changed your mind?

We could go there on weekends

to get some fresh air.

- But you work on weekends.

- Not every weekend.

I know the soil there is good,

I've made inquiries...

I could plant cherry trees,

some raspberry bushes.

My grandmother used

to grow raspberries...

Could you help me for once today?

- I saw an accident today.

- What?

An accident.

A SUV crashed

into a bus stop full of people.

That's terrible.

Have you washed your hands?

I left the bus stop

a minute before it happened.

Really?

Yes, only a minute before.

Now I see why I've had an eerie

premonition all day long...

Can you stop grabbing food?

That's terrible.

Any victims?

Yes.

Three people

have died, I think.

Give me a hand please.

I can't stop thinking

about that crash.

How awful.

Somebody is not going

home tonight.

I need to tell you something.

Promise me

you won't fly off the handle.

Go ahead.

Promise?

Go ahead.

He got five F's this term.

He's been flunking school.

He's flunked

about two months.

I've no idea why. He won't tell me.

Maybe you could talk to him?

Stop it! Please don't!

Hush now...

Don't cry.

Daddy loves you.

You shouldn't have.

You didn't even ask him why.

Are you OK?

What is it?

What is it?

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

- Everything's OK.

- I'm not crying.

- What?

- Nothing.

Why aren't you sleeping?

I see.

Good night.

Good night.

It's stuffy in here.

Open the window.

Wort help.

Please wait outside.

You lied to me.

Why are you doing this?

Please have a look.

It's not her.

OK, it's not her.

You can go now.

I have a busy day today.

Could you give me something

for my heart?

I feel pressure.

It's the weather.

I have a son.

He's started flunking school.

- I lost my temper yesterday and...

- I'm not interested.

Why?

Not interested, and that's all.

I'm too busy.

Do you have kids?

- No.

- No?

Why?

Your husband can't...

Let me guess. He's impotent.

Your wife cheats on you!

She's with him now!

- They... They have switched off

their phones! - Quiet!

He never used to switch it off!

She's with him now!

She's with him now!

They're both naked!

Your heart is fine.

It's the weather.

What do you want from me?

Nothing.

This is where they usually meet.

Their bench.

Last time,

they sat here for two hours.

My husband usually orders tea.

Your wife takes a double espresso.

They share a cheese plate

and a bottle of wine.

She likes strong coffee.

Isn't it bad for the heart?

Womers hearts are stronger.

They are surrounded by fat,

and they beat faster than mers.

Why?

We bear children.

Our hearts have got to be stronger.

You should go home,

you don't look too good.

I don't want to.

They take this room every time.

Seventh floor, nice view.

If the room's taken, they

never rent a different one.

They take a walk instead.

Once, they were downstairs, in the sauna,

then were swimming in the pool.

What are you doing here?

And you?

We're discussing the real estate.

Husband?

How did you find me?

I... Came here to find out

how much the room costs.

A friend asked me to.

- What for?

- What can I get you?

- Green tea, please.

- I'll have juice.

- Coffee, please.

- Double espresso?

He seems to be aware

of how you like your coffee.

Let us finish, OK?

We were in the middle of something.

- Tell me about that property.

- It's quite big, the location is quiet.

Nice neighbors. Faces the forest, some

nice lakes are 5 minutes' walk away.

I'm just interested what

you were doing there.

I've already told you.

Why couldn't your friend

find out for himself?

By the way, who is it?

I can't tell you.

He's having an affair.

With a married woman.

They have no place to meet.

And you are helping him?

They really love each other.

Why can't you tell me his name?

Do I know him?

No, you don't.

Tell me, in all honesty.

Are you seeing someone?

Are you serious?

Yes.

No, I'm not.

Are you?

Am I?

- Sorry, I didn't mean it.

- You really hurt my feelings.

Listen.

I didn't mean it.

I work all day. I look after the kid.

I never blame you for anything.

And this is what I get.

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Have you ever had an affair?

- No. Have you?

No.

Should I turn off the lights?

I'll switch the night light on.

As you wish.

Can I kiss you?

Why ask?

My wife always says that too.

What has it got to do with your wife?

Sorry.

Not like this. Softer.

Sorry.

What?

Did I hurt you?

Turn it off!

I'm sorry.

Are you feeling better?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Smoke?

No.

Teach me how.

Just inale it. It's easy.

Not too much,

or you'll get sick.

I can't...

Two bodies, heads pointing east

and feet south-west.

Both naked.

Cause of death:
Fall.

Suspecting multiple bone breakage.

The man:
Caucasian, no

distinguishing marks.

Mars body on top of the womars.

Two idiots were making love

on the balcony.

Two idiots

less in the world, huh?

Put it away.

Take a look and tell us

if you know these people.

You first.

This is my wife.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Your turn.

Yes, it's him.

You barely looked at him.

We cannot include such an answer

in our report. Take a better look.

- Can I do it later?

- Later?

His body tissues

will start changing.

- It's him.

- Him?

We can't record

the body as "him".

My husband.

You can go.

But we'll meet again soon.

Why?

You'll need a burial

permit from me.
