Talk to Her Page #5

have prisoners here...

We don't have prisoners here,

we have lodgers.

Marco, is that you?

I am glad to hear your voice.

I asked your visit on Saturday.

-Where are you?

-Outside the clinique.

Dr Vega told me everything.

How could you do it?

Did you come back to Spain

to get on my back?

Do you need anything?

What should I bring you on Saturday?

I need information.

What do you know about Alicia?

They wouldn't say anything

from the clinique.

She is in a different one.

They don't know where.

-I don't believe this.

-Neither do I.

But I am not surpised they

won't tell us.

-Are you still my friend?

-Of course. Since I am here.

Then find out about Alicia.

Whether she's alive, whether she gave

birth, whether the baby is alive...

I need to know, Marco...

You understand, right?

I will try to...

Talk to you on Saturday...

-Did you find out anything?

-I will. Be patient.

I was, until the day she would

give birth. One month ago.

You must wait.

-What do you do during the day here?

-I work in the recovery room.

It's a new prison, few people.

It's quiet in here.

-It doesn't look like a prison from outside.

-The problem is elsewhere!

That I don't see Alicia.

The doctor ki o Dr Roncero

say I am a psychopath.

This is good for the trail, they say,

but I don't care about the trial.

I need to see Alicia,

to find out how everything went.

If this goes on, I don't

know what I am capable of doing!

I am a psychopath, they say?

Then I will act like one!

Don't say that, Benigno!

And find me another lawyer.

The one I have despises me.

I will rent my place so that

I can pay him.

I will rent it.

I am currently homeless.

Great. I am glad you will be

my tenant.

I was thinking about you a lot,

especially during the nights.

-Why during the nights?

-Because I study during the nights.

I read all your guides.

Like travelling with you

next to me...

...telling me things.

I liked Avan's the most.

I became one with those people...

...that have nothing

and invent everything.

And you describing

the Cuban girl...

...in front of her window

by the sea...

...waiting in vain...

...for something that will

never happen.

I was thinking that woman is me.

Good morning. I am Benigno's

friend.

You are Marco, the Argentinian?

Benigno called me.

Will you take his appartment?

It will be dirty. He wouldn't

let me in to clean it.

-And I didn't want any money...

-It's OK, I will take care of it.

Shall I give you the key?...

I will go look for it...

Did you see him?

-How is he?

-Well.

Poor guy, he wasn't even lucky

during his imprisonment.

No publicity!

No TV, no reporters.

No one came here.

They didn't condescend!

And they show such garbage!

I would give them an interview!

The media is sh*t in this country!

You are right.

The keys...

Anyway...Do you know why

Benigno is in prison?

He is very quiet. He didn't say

a word last time he came.

-Benigno is innocent.

-Yes, I know.

-Innocent about what?

-I don't know.

You do, but you don't want

to tell me.

If you need something,

you know where I am.

I was glad you stepped in

by yourself today, without crutches.

-How did the exercise go today?

-Very well.

-Were you tired?

-A lot.

It doesn't matter. We will

do some extra exercises.

We will do some stretches.

-But I already did 100.

-We'll do a few more.

I have an appointment with

Mr. Sainz.

The boy was born dead.

Alicia recovered.

Benigno hasn't found out.

In his condition,

he could do something crazy.

I can't lie to him.

He is my only friend.

I will tell him.

I have no problem.

Alicia is still in coma and

the baby dead, I will say.

But you don't tell him anything.

-Can he bail out?

-Very difficult, and expensive.

-You are wet.

-A little.

Be careful not to catch a cold.

Drink hot milk with honey.

Since I am here,

I like rainy days.

DId you see the new lawyer?

He was here...

he told me everything...

-I will loose, right?

-Frankly, yes, you will.

At least nothing happened to

Alicia during birth.

It's the only thing that consoles

me and gives me hope.

Are you ok, Benigno?

I would like to hug you

so much, Marco.

But I have to ask for a meeting

face to face.

I tried.

They asked me whether you are

my lover.

I didn't dare say 'yes' since

that would annoy you.

It wouldn't annoy me at all.

You can say whatever you want.

I have hugged very few people

in my life.

Message!

I was very happy to see you

and say goodbye today.

They won't let me get

out of here...

...or they will put me

somewhere else

I don't want to live

without Alicia...

...without being able to hold

not one pin of hers.

Therefore I will escape.

I didn't tell you so that you

won't stop me.

I hug you firmly, Marco.

In Zegovia...

Yes, in prison...

I urgently need to see Benigno Martin.

It's a matter of life and death.

The warden is waiting for you

in his office.

Me? Where is his office?

The guard will accompany you.

Empty your pockets, please.

Wait, don't run.

In there at the end.

Good morning. I am

Marco Zuloaga.

Benigno Martin left this

letter for you.

Dear Marco...

It's still raining, and this

is a good sign.

When Alicia had the accident,

it was raining too.

I am writing to you a few

minutes before I escape.

I hope, with all these,

to fall in a coma as well...

...and to be near her.

You are my only friend.

I am leaving you the house

I prepared for me and her.

Wherever they take me, come to

see me and talk to me.

Tell me everything, without

hiding anything.

Goodbye, my friend.

I took these from him and these

I found at his cell.

You must sign here.

Benigno, it's me.

Alicia is alive...

You woke her up.

I got your message and ran

immediately to tell you...

...but it was too late.

I put a pin of Alicia

in your pocket.

And a photo of hers.

And a photo of your mother.

So that they can be with you

in eternity.

Like wild waves. The male on top,

the female below.

I will bring some water.

Are you ok?

I don't know...

I am much better now.

Come on, lets go inside.

You tremble.

Why?

-What did you tell her?

-Noting.

I saw you talking.

She asked if I am ok, and I

thanked her.

You will see me around.

I live near the dancing school.

In Benigno's place?

-Why do you stay there?

-Benigno is dead.

One day, we should talk.

Yes, and it will be simpler

than you thought.

Nothing is simple.

I am a dancing teacher,

and nothing is simple.
