The Unknown Woman Page #5

What the hell's this,

a treasure hunt?

- You're close.

- So, you f***er, start digging!

Move!

What can I do with you?

Pick up the shovel!

Your mother's c*nt!

He's the guilty one

you're looking for.

Believe me now?

Why should he have wanted

to do all this?

To punish me.

Maybe I don't remember,

maybe it's over there.

What do you mean "over there"?

More this way, more that way...

You gotta come up with the money!

Hooker!

He kept us like slaves.

If we didn't bring

the sum he expected...

...he'd hang us naked upside down

and pee on us.

And the gifts?

The times I got pregnant.

It was his way of treating me nice:

perfume, cellphones, shoes...

And at the end 4 or 500 euros.

At the end?

When the deal was closed.

Did you know the people

these deals were made with?

No, from the fourth month

I was locked in...

...I didn't see anybody,

he did everything.

- Explain that.

- Mold would procure the buyers.

The first time I got pregnant by chance

and he found them at the eighth month.

After that, it was always organized.

- Meaning?

- The buyers chose one of us.

Then, the chosen girl

took no more precautions...

...and got pregnant.

- How many times were you...?

Nine.

Nine babies in twelve years.

The last one is Tea Adacher.

Push!

Try again, push!

- Good!

- Come on! Good, this way!

- Here it comes!

- Here!

Come on, honey!

Good!

Good, you did well!

Show me the baby.

Show me the baby.

I'll take it.

Show me the baby.

Look at it...

...and forget it.

How can you be so sure

Tea Adacher is your daughter?

Her birth date is

three days after my delivery.

Usually it takes longer

to register them.

That's not sufficient proof.

No one ever saw Mrs. Adacher

during the pregnancy...

...there's not one picture of her

with a belly.

Every mother has one!

Nor the analyses you do

when you're expecting.

Absurd, isn't it? Tea doesn't look like

either of her parents.

- In fact she's their adopted daughter.

- What makes you sure?

I saw the adoption certificate,

they kept it in the safe.

Tell the judge what your feelings were

towards the Adachers.

I loved them, they'd given my daughter

the future that I never could have.

How did you find the Adachers?

In Velarchi there are

...but they were the only ones

with a child of that age.

How did you discover that

the name of the presumed buyers...

...was Adacher?

- The obstetrician told me.

Genna Lucrezia,

do you know Yaroshenko Irena?

They called her Giorgia, right?

Did you tell the judge?

- Yes, I know her.

- Mh.

There's a contradiction

in the statements of you both.

You saw those who chose

and took the children.

I didn't see anyone!

I don't know about any babies.

- You're sick!

- We were at your house...

...you were cooking eggplant,

you said:
"Adacher, in Velarchi".

- I can't cook eggplant.

- In your statement you say Adacher.

How did you come to know this name?

She badgered, wanting to know

things I didn't know.

She was unbearable, she wanted me

to convince Mold to talk.

I went one day...

Give that b*tch the name!

I don't know the name.

What's the name...

I need an original name.

Adacher.

Say Adacher in Velarchi.

So that's what I told you.

Can't be,

she just wants revenge.

Oh, gosh!

Your decision to collaborate

was useful...

...but I'm afraid

lots of things can't be overlooked.

I reached my goal,

the rest doesn't matter.

You all were great.

I'd like to ask a question...

By now you know all about me.

Go ahead.

Didn't you ever think

about finding your children...

...the others too?

- No, just the last one.

- How come?

- I don't know.

Maybe because I knew

who the father was.

Lately however

I've been thinking of the others too.

All I know's their age,

I make up the rest.

If I hadn't found Tea,

maybe I'd have looked for them too.

I have something to tell you also.

Go ahead.

The DNA shows

that Tea is not your daughter.

That document was only

a request for fosterage.

You should have noticed

the child's name was missing.

It's a fully legal adoption...

...the natural mother

disappeared after delivery.

The judge has asked me to make you

a very particular proposal.

You've no obligation to say yes.

Sweetie!

Don't you know me?

Are you mad at me?

Forgive me.

I had to go to my country, far away.

You take trips too.

You're not a good nanny...

...before you'd have asked

my mother's permission.

I'm getting old, I forget things.

- Next time ask me.

- Sure, Madame President.

Hey!

What's wrong?

I went down, this time

I don't know who to beat up.

Is that why you don't want to eat?

When you fall

and you don't know who pushed you...

...take it out on the first you meet,

but never on yourself.

This time

you didn't bring me a present.

That's true, but I worked

to get you one that's very big.

It's a secret for now, but in a while

you'll be really surprised.

- How long?

- You'll be a grown, beautiful girl.

Is it possible to wait so long?

Sure, important things

take lots of patience.

So, you have to eat to grow up.

You won't need a nanny

to help you eat...

...to pick your clothes out in the morning.

You'll do everything by yourself.

Are you saying

you won't stay with me?

A maid is never forever,

sooner or later she leaves...

...or gets fired.

I haven't fired you.

I know,

but I had to take another job.

Give it up

or find a way to get fired.

That's hard,

it isn't a job like the others.

If you hurry and learn to write,

we'll exchange lots of letters.

And you'll tell me

how it feels to become a woman.

You should know.

I was too distracted in my life...

...I didn't even realize.

So the things you taught me

are things you made up?

- Sometimes.

- You grown-ups can't be trusted.

- Are you ill?

- No.

I'll do it myself.

Good luck!
