The Walls of Malapaga Page #4

---

She would have talked

to the Commissioner.

Cool down, Pierre.

- I'm not worried with me alone.

- I talked to her about this.

She didn't seen to be

keeping any secrets.

So, you better cool down.

See how far it was. And

she was kind of sleeping.

If she weren't faking it.

I think we can make a test.

Come. Stay in her place.

She was facing the

wall. Don't look.

- You talked very low.

- Yes, I know.

- Ready?

- Yes.

I killed a woman in

France. Did you hear it?

- No, I didn't.

- Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Well, that's better. Let

me stay in your place.

Go.

Ready?

Talk.

I killed a woman...

You're right, you can not hear it.

- Tell me, Pierre...

- What?

Did you love that woman?

I beg you to never mention

her again. It would never end.

And me? Could you kill me?

Why? You didn't harm anyone.

It's you that want to

hurt me. I could kill you.

Not you. You wouldn't know how.

Laura! Laura!

What is it?

Take something for me, too.

The money is in the basket.

Ok.

- So, I want more.

- Hey... Wait your turn.

- Cecchina!

- What?

It's for the French

man and your mother.

- Liar!

- Mother!

Cecchina, stop!

Go home now! I need

to talk to your mother.

And you Laura, go upstairs, now.

- She started it.

- I'll beat you... Go home now!

And you, go upstairs,

take care of your mother.

Yea, your mother was with

the French man last night.

Enjoying the life... The "Lady".

Where two eats, so does three.

Go inside, before I

loose my temper, go!

Cecchina. What's new? How are you?

I'm fine. And you?

Not bad.

Tell me, did you forget my name?

Pierre.

- Why didn't you stayed at school?

- Nobody went.

- Cecchina. Cecchina.

- Hmm.

- The dress is here.

- The white one?

Yes, for Cristina. It's on the bed.

Just arrived. You can put it.

- Don't look at me.

- Why?

Are you that ugly?

Go out!

- How stupid!

- Leave it!

You'll be beautiful.

I don't want you to

stay. This is my house.

Your house?

To begin with, be nice to him.

No, I won't talk to him again.

What are you doing here? I

can't even take my clothes off...

Besides, We don't even know who

he is and where does he comes from.

Shut up. Those things

are not for you to know.

Or don't you know what the

neighbors all say about you?

Let hear it! What are they saying?

I'm talking to my

mother, not with you.

- I forbid you to talk like that.

- I say what I want. He doesn't run things.

Quiet down, brat! Would

you prefer your father?

You're worst than him.

Ok... All this because of me.

What have I done? I hit her.

- Like your father.

- C'mon, don't cry.

C'mon...

- Don't Cry.

- No. I have to go to the restaurant.

It's late.

- Can you fix the meal?

- Yes, don't you worry.

Open up. Don't play dumb, it's me.

Open!

- Brat, here you are.

- What do you want?

Nothing. I want to talk.

So? Do you hate me, hmm?

What do I have to tell

you? It's my problem.

Yes, yes... But I understand you.

I don't want to see her near you.

- Look, your chicken.

- Don't you touch her.

You better not hold

her, with that dress.

Look at that... How clean...

- I was stupid worrying about you.

- But what have I done?

Nothing. You did nothing, I guess.

You old enough to understand.

Yesterday, You wanted

to go to prison.

Go to prison?

And today, why did

you change your mind?

Do you know why I

wanted to go to prison?

Go, say it.

Yesterday, You wouldn't enjoy it.

And today?

Today, it's the opposite, because

my mother changed your mind.

I'm not that bad for you.

You know better than

me. But I want you to go.

I've tried, but I don't

know how to pass the harbor.

If you could, would you go?

Maybe, I don't know.

But It's no good discussing

that, they won't let me pass.

I can make you pass.

How?

Through the door?

Oh, what are you saying...

You were not so sure, hmm?

- Where is your ship?

- Who knows?

Let's look over there.

- Is that the one?

- Yes.

- So, goodbye.

- Goodbye.

You're late today,

Cecchina. How are you?

I'll finish here

and we can go home.

- There is no hurry.

- Why?

Pierre went away.

What did you say?

I said Pierre went away.

Who told you that?

I saw him. I followed him.

So It'll be just the two of us.

What is it, mother?

Nothing.

You can't understand.

Liar. It's not true.

It's true. I never lie.

- How did he manage to pass the guards?

- Just going through.

- Where?

- Going through...

- Was he alone?

- Yes...

Mother!

Mother.

Come.

Excuse, Mr. Carlo.

I need to go, can I?

Ok... Giovanna

should stay. Go, go...

- I'll be back in 15 minutes.

- Alright.

Thank you. Come.

Where have you been? I've been

waiting for you all night. Hurry up.

We leave tonight. Come it's time.

- No, I'm not leaving.

- What?

I won't go.

You could live well here.

- Maybe.

- You have found a lady, haven't you?

One and a half...

- And what about your suitcase?

- Give it to me.

I'll get it.

What's happening? Let him go.

Hey... They arrested someone.

But what did he do?

- What did he do?

- He just killed a woman.

So, If you catch him, I

should receive a reward.

The French police was looking

for him. That's his ID card.

It was his left tooth.

A very serious problem.

- Did he tell you something?

- Now I remember.

He told me about

a murder. I forgot.

He told me:
"Tonight

I'll sleep in prison".

- And that didn't catch your attention?

- No, he didn't tell me why...

Besides, It was not my

business. Maybe he's in jail.

- And did he make another confession?

- No... Oh, yes, he said he was hungry.

But that was odd, because...

- Which time was it?

- Just around seven.

If he was hungry, he must have eaten.

We'll look in the restaurants below.

Oh, no, they wouldn't

accept those false bills.

Hmm... He didn't

looked very stupid.

- Where is the owner?

- In the kitchen.

Mr. Fausto! Someone

is here for you.

- Goodnight. Do you know this man?

- No, why?

- Did he had supper here last night?

- I don't think so. Let's see. Anna!

I served 60 meals yesterday.

Did this man had supper last night?

- Looks like Mr. Parondi.

- He's a French man.

- I don't remember.

- He should have used false bills.

- I should know, after yesterday's coup.

- What coup?

- Someone gave me a false bill.

- Let me see it

- Well...

- What did you do with this bill?

- I wasted it.

- C'mon, don't give me that.

Good night.

Here.

- What is it?

- I thought you were at the harbor.

You went in and came back...

I know you would stay,

but I couldn't believe it.

Cecchina told me you were

gone. She followed you.

Followed me? Oh, well, now this...

- Is it true? Say it.

- You know very well.

Do I? I just went for my

suitcase and came back.

How you were wrong.

Never mind.

- Where are you going?

- To Maria's.

- Where?

- Maria's house.

Go ahead.

What are you staring at?

- You have many pretty things, Pierre.

- Hmm... Pretty...

I always suspected that

you had better clothes.

It's been a while since I
