I don't want him here.

- It's you!

- Seen the programme?

It's you we haven't seen all day!

I was busy.

So was I, but found time to come up.

You didn't answer the door.

Can we talk when Ramn's not around?

There's nothing to talk about.

It's over.

When you heard shots,

weren't you curious to know

what happened?

Why do you let her drink?

Doesn't suit her.

I don't need permission to drink.

Now the problem is that I'm drunk!

You're not solving anything.

Be a good girl, stop drinking.

You be a good boy, I'm a saint!

- Kika, please!

- No way!

Enough already!

I'm sorry. I'm overwhelmed.

How do you think I feel?

Try to rest and forgive me.

Don't touch me.

I'll sue her,

with or without your support.

Wouldn't it be better

to forget all about it?

I don't want to forget.

I don't want my rape to sell more milk.

As you wish.

I'll say goodbye to Nicholas.

By the way,

I f***ed Nicholas once in a while.

Nothing to say?

What should I say?

Now you know it.

The cops said the voyeur told them.

Who called Andrea?

I don't know who called her.

Go to your room,

you'll clean up tomorrow.

Is a voyeur spying us?

So it seems.

What's the matter? You don't care?

I do care!

I'm tired of that question!

It's Nicholas.

I've just seen your programme.

Hope it didn't bother you,

it wasn't my intention.

What was it then,

vengeance on Ramn?

You know a good professional

shouldn't have scruples.

Some professional!

Watch the ratings

and you'll see what I mean.

What about the rape footage?

A voyeur gave it.

Who is he? His address?

We don't reveal our sources.

Various voyeurs send us things.

We have lots of unbiased collaborators.

If you don't know him,

how'd you find out

right when it was happening?

He called the cops, they called me.

They do it sometimes.

We bribe two officers.

Please, don't mention this to anyone.

I live a floor above.

If he sees them,

he can see me too.

Don't insist,

I don't know who the voyeur is.

You don't have a monopoly on vengeance.

Are you threatening me?

Call it what you want.

Forget our collaboration.

I want nothing to do with your show.

As you like.

I'm warning you.

If you air one more image related to us,

I swear you'll regret it.

I didn't know you wrote for her show.

I'm a writer, I live from that.

She's not taking revenge on me,

but on you!

She hasn't stopped menacing me

since I left her.

This woman should be locked up.

You have to call the police.

What for?

To find the voyeur

and recoup what he filmed.

Think the police will tell me?

Say you'll report

the officers Andrea bribes.

It's pointless.

They don't know the voyeur,

he didn't identify himself.

How do you know?

Because it was me.

I'm the one who called.

I see the house from my studio

and like watching Kika.

Besides spying her,

you gave the tapes to Andrea!

I didn't say that!

So what the f*** did you say?

When she was in danger,

I called the cops. That's it.

That's it?

I didn't film what was on TV.

Someone Andrea knows or she herself did.

Show me everything you filmed till now.

What's in there?

Souvenirs of mother.

- Are those her diaries?

- Yes.

So you had them...

I hid them the day she died.

Didn't want them flying around.

Did you read them?

No, I can't.

I'd like to have a look.

Don't even dream about it!

Here's everything I filmed.

I should've known.

You liked to snoop.

I often discovered

you behind our bedroom door

when I made love with your mother.

What timing! "The Prowler".

You spied on me last night?

No, I was here with Kika.

You don't have to hide anything.

We all know everything.

Better.

I'm tired of behaving like an adolescent.

Why did you advance the move?

We agreed to do it in three days.

You're in no position to interrogate me

and I won't allow it.

Very well.

Get out!

I don't want to see you again.

I'll pack and go in the morning.

Remember you owe me half of Youkali.

I'll send you my new address.

The sooner we settle this,

the better.

You're leaving too?

Of course.

What's in there?

The small chairs, as souvenir.

And I stole some stuff as severance pay.

Good idea, you have your rights.

Let's get a cab.

I left the keys upstairs and

I don't feel like getting them.

Where are you going?

To my cousin's. And you seora?

Call me Kika, I'm no longer your seora.

I don't know.

To a hotel or to Amparo's, I'll see.

Can I give you a ride?

No, I'll take the subway.

As you like.

I'd go anywhere with you.

I wasn't propositioning you!

I'm sorry.

What I like about you is your sincerity.

If only everyone could be like you...

Give me a kiss.

Kika, I lied to you too.

- You too?

- Yes.

Pablo is my brother.

Pablo who?

Paul Bazzo, he's my brother.

Paul, your brother?

I'm going to meet him.

Get him out of my cousin's house.

Let's go.

Wherever.

He's retarded.

He's my brother and I have to help him!

- Halt!

- Please don't!

Good bye.

"Killing is like cutting your toenails.

At first,

thinking about it makes you lazy.

When you out them, you discover

it's quicker than you imagined.

You think a long time will pass

before doing it again.

But when you least expect it,

they've grown again."

What the f*** they saying?

The vase.

It's not there.

Here.

Nicholas, is that you?

These stains...

What stains?

These stains look like blood.

You're hallucinating.

You shouldn't have come.

You look terrible.

I didn't sleep all night.

I'm exhausted too.

Then go home and rest,

we'll meet later.

We don't need to see each other again.

I brought mother's things.

Including the diaries

you were so keen on.

Why this change of heart?

Everything belongs to you,

but this note.

You thought differently last night.

I hadn't read them last night.

You finally found the strength.

Kika had left.

I was desperate

and thought of mother.

I thought I understood her

for the first time,

so I began reading her diaries.

You know how I loved her.

Despite her neurosis,

I thought she cared about me

in her own way.

I was wrong.

She didn't give a damn about me!

Not even a line about me.

If she mentions me,

it's to say she's tired of me.

Only you existed, her executioner!

Life didn't interest her without you,

nothing kept her here.

Your mother wouldn't admit

it was over between us,

but I wasn't her executioner.

You killed her!

You're still hallucinating.

That's enough, Nicholas!

You did,

but I can't even blame you for that!

Her life belonged to you,

you could take it away anytime.

She committed suicide,

it wasn't the first time she tried.

You know it as well as I do.

You killed her!

Here's the proof!

April 20th.

Mother died in June.

The note was written and ripped out by her

two months before she died,

when she tried to kill herself.

I made it in time to take her to hospital.

You found the note and kept it.

You didn't give it to me then.

You gave it to me after you killed her,

to justify her suicide.

"Dear Kika,

I'm going to Casa Youkali.
