Unforgivable Page #4

count her steps.

so you know more or less

where she is.

Or you turn around.

Either way, you know what she's doing

without seeing her.

Today, no. I don't have the keys.

Yes, tomorrow at 3.

Campo Santa Maria Formosa.

Jrmie, in Venice, you're naked.

A detail gives you away.

A t-Shirt like that

and you'll be spotted right away.

Wear something gray,

the color of the dead.

No bright colors.

Be the invisible man,

the man who doesn't exist.

what do you want from me?

How long

have you been following me?

Lost your tongue?

Haven't we already met?

A long time ago.

I can't place you.

San Pietro.

I was with my mother.

Jrmie! It's you!

How old are you now?

Why were you following me like that?

I can't say.

What do you mean, you can't say?

You're soaked.

You'll catch your death.

No, it's okay.

So, tell me what you've been up to.

I did a stretch in prison.

Yes, I know,

but that's all in the past.

Besides that, not much.

I have a dog now.

Mom thinks about you all the time.

She'd never admit it.

She was very important for me.

I love her deeply.

Why did you dump her then?

It hurt her bad, you know.

It hurt me, too. What do you think?

Where do I put it?

Give it here.

You're sure you won't have some tea?

I heard you're a femme fatale.

- That's bullshit, isn't it?

- Sure.

And it's no reason

To tail me like a hunting dog.

It's not my fault.

Whose fault is it?

Your husband hired me.

I need the money,

so I couldn't refuse.

Every night, I call him

and tell him what you did all day.

Sh*t!

This is a great neighborhood.

What's wrong?

Pass me my purse.

Do you get these often?

Now and then.

Can I give you a kiss?

On my forehead,

like you'd kiss your mother.

I never give my mother a kiss.

I'm gonna quit tailing you.

No, Jrmie.

Keep going. You need the money.

You can be my guardian angel.

We can give each other little waves,

Like the redentore statue.

I don't know that one.

It's beautiful, waving.

You wonder if it's waving

welcome or farewell.

There is no lover.

Just accept it.

And Im sick of following her.

Why do you snap away like a tourist?

I told you, it's for my book.

You don't listen.

In any case,

I don't wanna spy on people.

I'm not like my mother.

I asked you a personal favor.

I thought you understood.

- What?

- I'll explain.

Sit down.

I cheated on a lot of women.

If they confronted me, I left them.

Now, you see, Im jealous.

For the first time ever.

I don't get it.

I want to talk about my fee.

In life, a deal's a deal.

Finish the week, then we talk.

Not before.

There's no point yelling, sir.

It's the law, don't blame me.

Either party can retract

within three months of signing.

Yes, it's in the contract.

Sorry, I can't give you the keys.

Goodbye.

We need to talk,

we never get time.

You're either too tired

or away somewhere.

Doing my job.

And all my supposed lovers

keep me busy.

Are you capable of trusting someone?

Have you ever?

Why do you ask that?

I'm just curious.

Look what I bought yesterday.

What do you think?

I'm not sure.

Last summer,

we found time to be together.

Don't whine.

I'm not whining.

Why are you so aggressive?

I'm not.

Remember, we owe two months' rent.

The agency barely makes money.

I can't do it on my own.

I'll help, but Im broke.

Where does all your money go?

You know.

Anna Maria, my daughter...

you have her followed.

It slipped my mind.

What does your publisher recommend

when you're blocked?

To write any old crap,

under a pseudonym.

False name, real name,

what difference?

The better I know you,

the less I know who you are.

You're going out like that?

Yes, you're right.

Bon appetite!

You're done already?

My next client

canceled our appointment.

Let's walk.

Your mom been in touch?

She leaves me messages.

She met an old girlfriend in Paris.

She's having fun. Good for her.

I suppose the case is closed.

Did she mention it?

What case?

Your husband's totally paranoid.

His daughter meets Alvise,

he has her followed. What for?

Same with you.

What's he paying me for?

Lucky he hasn't got a bigger family.

- What flavor do you want?

- I'm fine.

I'll have one. Meringue.

Sure. Cone or cup?

Cone.

How many scoops?

Two.

Both meringue?

Do you know Alvise?

We were at school together.

Venice is a village, as you know.

He was in the class below me.

Have you seen him since school?

Now and then.

He had work for me,

But I didn't want

a 16-Year-Old boss.

Being exploited like a Romanian,

no way!

No one will work for him now.

This time

I didn't want to ask permission.

Beautiful day!

Today, she finished work early.

What did she do?

She went swimming.

- Alone?

- Yes.

I gave up on my historical thriller.

It's present-Day now.

There's a character like you.

That's him!

Run!

Come on!

Don't let him get away!

This time, you get it!

You remember me?

The dog or I throw you in.

Hand it over.

Next time, that'll be you.

Sorry about the dog,

but he needed a lesson.

What are you doing with that sicko?

He's a fag basher.

You wanna wind up in the hospital?

Tomorrow, Ill make a cross.

I did woodworking in prison.

I tried to build a bridge with you.

I got it all wrong.

I give up.

Is it true you beat guys up?

Sometimes.

Why?

When they want to touch me.

Nobody touches me!

- Not even girls?

- Nobody.

What if they go to the police?

Hate crime,

aggravating circumstances...

you want to go back inside?

Don't say that.

I'll say nothing.

We don't talk the same language.

Don't you realize

violence against other people,

Setting out to wound or maim,

is unforgivable?

You're calling me stupid?

Yes, stupid and dangerous.

At this rate, you'll wind up

in a sanatorium or jail.

Here...

the 300 euros I owe you.

Stop tailing Judith.

That's it, we're through.

Stop, Jrmie!

Cut it out!

It's pointless staying.

Your son needs rest.

The doctor told you.

After what he did,

he's best away from the family.

To begin with, at least.

Mrs. Lemo...

go home now.

They're transferring him

to a psychiatric unit

For observation.

Good.

He needs looking after.

I got it all wrong with the kid.

I had him when I was 46.

It's my milk. It's water.

Cut out the mater dolorosa!

There should be a ban

on reproduction.

It's the only way out of guilt.

Here, I have something for you.

From your daughter.

She's a lot of fun, Alice.

Pretty as pie.

You're surrounded by beautiful women.

Congratulations.

You talked to her?

A little.

When I said I was a pi,

she cracked up laughing.

What did she have to say?

Not much.

She seems madly in love with Alvise.

Very happy.

I'm exhausted.

Sit down.

Why have me followed?

I wanted us to talk in Venice.

You were too caught up

in your relationship.

It's actually very simple.

I met Alvise.

And...

and I love him.

That's all.

I can't say a word against roger.

He's a supportive husband,

The perfect father.

A bit too perfect, too supportive.

I need to be unsettled.
