Thanks. I promise to return it.

What will you do in Madrid?

Work. What else!

I have lots of ideas.

I'll write a novel inspired

by Latin America.

And you?

How's your heart? You taking care?

I'm perfectly fine.

I'm delighted.

- Sorry I'm late!

- What happened?

- You look terrific.

- So do you.

Lack of responsibility,

nothing suits me better.

He's so cheeky!

A woman sets herself on fire

in a bank director's office,

after having been refused a loan.

A member of the Bishop's Court

tried for misdemeanour.

Juana T. reported to have been object

of "indecent proposals"

while trying to get her marriage annulled.

Military commander kills his wife,

then commits suicide.

Argument began over

daughter's bad grades in school.

His neighbours described him

as an enchanting man.

Rapist commits suicide in jail

incapable of facing the shame

of being repeatedly raped

by various prisoners.

Angel Maya,

condemned to four years of jail

for prostituting invalids.

Five skinheads slay

two Moroccans and one Dominican.

Child prostitution and porn video racket

discovered in a Madrid kindergarten.

Children's ages vary from three to six.

Whereabouts still unknown

of parricide Joaquin Garcia.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

With you, Andrea Scarf ace,

presenting, exclusively,

"Today's Worst".

Before presenting our first guest,

a review of footage

I filmed one month ago.

Warning:
it'll shock your sensibility,

if you still have any.

Why did your daughter kill herself?

Leave me alone.

Was she happy?

How was her family environment?

It was hell!

It was my husband's fault.

He raped her.

Did you report him?

We wanted him to leave us alone,

stop making our life impossible.

We're separating.

What're you doing here?

Despite the police's efforts,

Joaquin Garcia still runs free.

Our sponsor, Royal Milk,

offers a 10 million pesetas reward

to whoever gives a viable tip

of his whereabouts.

Please, abstain from calling

if unsure of information.

Since we cannot, at this time,

speak with Joaquin Garcia,

tonight

we'll do it with the woman

who knows him best.

His mother.

She deserves it.

Good evening, Angelina.

Nervous?

A little.

Good.

Tell me,

so the public can be aware...

Your son killed his wife

and raped his daughter.

Did he have abnormal instincts

as a child?

Did he try to kill you,

perhaps rape you

at any time?

He was a good child.

A biz' of a rascal,

but I never thought he '0' get t0 this.

I'm his mother and

I don't think he did it.

He didn't?

You know I have it on film.

Well, I don't believe it.

No?

His wife cannot agree with you

because she lies in the cemetery.

"Dear Ramn,

I'm leaving.

You won't understand.

And hope you never will.

It would mean

you're as desperate as I am.

Don't blame Nicholas.

Life with him is unbearable,

but I don't want another.

Don't bear him a grudge.

Forgive me for not having cared

enough about you,

but pain makes you selfish,

it absorbs you totally.

What are you doing?

Wondering whether Mother

wanted me to help Nicholas.

She didn't want you

to bear him a grudge.

I feel uncomfortable knowing

he's penniless in a hotel,

though he brought it onto himself.

Mind if I move him upstairs?

A few weeks, till he finds something.

Of course not!

And your studio?

I'll rent a room and move.

That's a good idea.

Oh, the chest!

I'll move it out.

No, I like it.

I'll move my things today.

This is your room.

The bathroom's in there.

Not very luxurious...

I've been in worst places.

At some point

we should discuss Casa Youkali.

Youkali's the only thing I have.

Half of Youkali, you mean.

Yes, of course.

You don't use it.

Pass the other one.

Think we should sell it?

I don't know.

Let me think it over.

You know how much it's worth!

I don't think of money

when I think of Youkali.

I can't afford the luxury

of being sentimental. I'm not rich.

What do you want?

Nicholas! It's Andrea!

I thought you were a Martian.

Don't blame you.

Nice to see you!

Come in.

- What're you doing here?

- I saw the ad.

- Want to buy the house?

- I'm not that rich.

I'm looking for this sort of house

to film my programme.

I'm no longer a psychologist.

I direct a TV programme now.

That's a change.

Not really.

I'm still surrounded by crazies.

And very pleased!

Mind if I film?

Film what you want,

but Ramn makes the decisions.

I'm expecting him.

Have you seen him?

All I have left of us is this scar.

I like the garden.

The story I want to shoot is

of a couple who killed ten people

and discreetly buried them in the garden.

This place is as isolated as ever.

Like to read the first chapter?

I have it.

It's not necessary.

Yes, please.

Read it and give me your opinion.

Alright.

I'm going to look around.

The place is perfect.

Need to fix it a little over there.

How'd you like the script?

It's rubbish.

I know.

I have an idea,

why don't you write it?

Me?

I never wrote for TV.

You're a writer, that's enough.

My Spanish is too poor to write.

Write in English and we'll translate it.

By the way,

don't tell Ramn about this.

Alright.

Andrea, what are you doing here?

I came to see the house.

To rent it.

It's for sale, not for rent.

I thought you'd like to make money

till you found a buyer.

You thought wrong.

Goodbye, Andrea.

Ramn, walk me to the gate?

I'd like to talk to you.

You know the way.

Bye Nicholas, glad to see you.

When the f*** will she leave me alone?

You shouldn't have mistreated her.

Some women like it.

I never mistreated her,

I fled from her.

And the scar? She says you did it.

She did it.

Cut her face to stop me from leaving.

Interesting girl...

Here, Ramn.

Your heart medicine, hypertension pills

and for your willy.

I have to rush.

I have three shows.

Models get impossible

if I don't make them up.

I have a gift for you.

What is it?

What a beautiful thing!

A ring...

It's beautiful.

Why go through the trouble!

We've lived together for two years now.

It's true, sorry.

I don't even know what day it is!

I'm also asking you to marry me.

To marry you?

Don't you want to?

It's not that,

you caught me off-guard.

Aren't I too old for you?

I like older women.

Too immature for my age?

I like immature women.

You asked for it!

I love the ring.

Shall we celebrate tonight?

Let's have dinner and all the works.

Everything you want!

What are you doing here?

I came to take you to breakfast.

Dressed like this?

It's hot out!

Think I overdid it?

Don't be surprised

if they ask "how much".

I didn't hear that.

I know you didn't mean it,

you're just jealous.

I'm worried about you.

You've been very tense.

Is it that obvious?

To me it is, I know you.

Ramn suspects something,

he's asked me to marry him.

That's great news!

I think it's Odd,

just now that our relationship

is not exactly at its best.

You have a wonderful relationship.

How many men marry you

after two years?

It's a nice gesture,
