Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It is with great pleasure that I would like to announce

that the Embassy of Switzerland

and the Department of Foreign Culture

will provide

for this wonderful house of arts

the resources to ensure

a whole season of theatrical productions

for next year.

But only if you promise me, Maestro,

that the first production will be:

"The Barber of Seville."

My wife's favorite.

Please accept, Maestro, and I don’t want to sleep on the couch tonight.

Now. Who is next?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now let's make a toast

to Harmony Lira.

Cheers!

So, I always say, that's it.

What happens, you know?

When I was in New York and I met her,

it was incredible, it was love at first sight.

I was in school at Yale

and I saw her

and it was magical.

She was beautiful.

And yes,

it was incredible.

Do you think Naomi will do this?

I will convince her.

She is beautiful.

Yes, I know.

Excuse me.

We are finished.

Film.

Let's go.

I had to marry her.

Paying for a full-time translator

was much more expensive!

I don't think that was it.

Why would you say that about your lovely wife?

Don't worry about me, Trudy. I'll make him pay.

Yes, in blood, sweat, and tears!

Or half a kilo of meat, or whatever is faster.

Very Shakespearean of you.

We cannot forget that she has a degree in English literature.

Yes, I am very versed in tragic relationships.

I can smell from a kilometer away when something is rotten in Denmark.

Right.

Where is your husband, Miwa?

Too bad he had to miss

such a beautiful event.

My father couldn't come, he had business to handle in New York.

New York! Work, work...

Fortunately, Antonia is a good friend

and is happy to join me for a "girls' night."

How long have you two been friends?

It's been 24 years.

What a blessing!

I wish I could have a friendship that lasted that long.

I need a drink. Excuse me.

Yes, excuse me.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- Excuse me, sir. - Thank you, dear.

Welcome.

We should have stayed in a hotel. This is a work trip.

The embassy is making cuts. I told you.

And is a private plane less expensive?

It's exhausting traveling through the night like this.

The longest day ever.

Does it bother you, dear,

that we were the only ones who couldn't stay for the after party?

I couldn't care less about what other people do.

Are you still hungry?

Certainly.

Those canapés were horrible.

- Who hired that chef? - Don’t eat fast food.

I will cook something for you when we get home.

It’s Hanna’s day off and you can’t cook without her.

You are right.

I can’t do anything.

SECRETS

Good night.

Good night.

I...

I just realized that I ordered too much food.

Do you want to join me?

I’m not hungry.

You took off your engagement ring.

It’s very heavy.

It was fine when I bought it ten years ago.

I think my hands are weak now.

They can’t hold it. Not for long, at least.

And wearing it to the party was all you could handle.

You are not the only one with diplomatic functions.

I told Lucy to change the sheets on your bed.

Please check if she did that when you go to sleep.

Shit.

Noah.

Noah?

Noah?

We are out of power.

Seriously?

I didn't notice.

Don't we have a generator for something like this?

Yes, it's in the garage.

We are prepared for special occasions.

It's the daily power outage that worries me.

The lights have been flickering a lot during the day lately.

I can only imagine.

What do we do now?

I will check the generator. You call the electric company.

I can't find my cell phone.

The landline is in your studio, then, and you don't want...

All right, I will make the call.

Okay.

I will go down to get some candles and the number.

What number?

Of the electric company.

Okay.

Noah?

It's not working.

What?

The generator isn't working.

Why not?

I think it's getting old. We need something new.

Okay. Take this.

Thank you.

What is this?

The phone number of the company.

You said you would make the call.

Didn't the generator come with the house?

A lot can happen in five years.

I will look for a flashlight,

or something that doesn't need matches.

I can hardly see anything.

Candles are great for me.

We will be bumping into each other constantly.

Well,

I don't care.

Make the call.

I am making the call right now.

Thank you very much.

What is this?

What does it look like?

Like a ring.

Will you marry me?

COLLECTED POEMS

There you were.

Is there anything that you want to confess?

Yes.

Searching for a dish in this house is not as easy as it seems.

How the hell does Lucy find anything here?

Did you call the company?

Yes. They are fixing something. Maintenance work, or something like that.

It can happen again at any moment.

I can't remember the last time we had dinner by candlelight.

When you proposed to me.

Yes.

In Rome.

I remember.

I was back home for Christmas.

It's cold.

That's okay. I like it more like this.

Look at you.

What would your father say about his daughter graduated from Yale,

eating greasy food from a box.

He would say that the blame is on her husband graduated from Yale.

No,

he wouldn't say that.

Your parents love me.

That's true.

They love you.

And you?

Me what?

Do you love me?

Damn.

Damn.

Take her out.

- What? - Take her out.

You need water to remove this stain.

Lucy can take her to the laundromat tomorrow.

It’s easier to remove the stain if you wet it now.

You don’t want to ruin the shirt, do you?

No.

I want to fix this.

So, maybe I can help.

I, Naomi,

accept you, Noah,

to be my husband,

my constant friend,

and my love from this day forward.

In the presence of God,

our family and friends,

I offer you my solemn vote

to be your faithful partner

in sickness

and in health,

in good times and in bad,

and in joy as well as in sadness.

I promise to love you unconditionally,

to support you in your goals,

to honor you and respect you,

to laugh and cry with you,

and to care

for you as long as we both live.

Hi.

I am almost done.

I was going to the pool and realized I grabbed an extra cup.

How foolish of you.

How foolish of me?

I will be right back.

As soon as I find the soap.

Here.

I AM FREE TOMORROW AT LUNCH TIME. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH NAOMI?

Bingo!

Is it far? I am getting dizzy.

We are almost there, stop complaining. Alright?

And...

Stop here.

Just a second.

You can take it now.

And, done!

Well,

do you like it?

Yes, it is a beautiful house,

but I do not understand.

It is our new house. New home!

The embassy is providing our accommodation now.

And...

We need a bigger place.

But how...

Do not worry about that, baby.

Everything is ready, you do not even need to decorate.

Everything you need to do

is turn the key.

Naomi...

It's good that you could join me.

No, I just wanted to say that I left your shirt in the kitchen.

I have a headache. I'm going upstairs.

Wait, stay, please. Just a little.

Drink a little wine.

This will take away your headache.

Wine doesn't do that.

This one does.

It's a special wine.

Trust me.

Alright. That's fine.

So,

what are we drinking to?

To honesty.

And to family.

Cheers!

Cheers.

I have the annual brunch at the Meisner Foundation tomorrow.

Do you want to come with me?

We just got back from a dinner.

A dinner is not a brunch.

Yes, but...

Different meal, same purpose.

But we had fun tonight, didn't we?

Yes, we had fun.

Okay, well, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to come with me, that's fine.

It's not that I don't want to.

I can't.

Why not?

Are you busy tomorrow?

I have a date tomorrow.

I have a date with a woman.

What time?

I don't know. That's with her.

Do I know her?

Not as much as you think.

But I spent most of the night with her.

It's you, silly.

You're right,

we had a lot of fun tonight.

So I was thinking that we could continue this until tomorrow.

What?

We're still having a lot of fun.

Let's stay home tomorrow.

I miss you.

Don't you miss me?

Let's make a baby.

Noah,

wait.

I want us to be a real family.

Stop, Noah.

Stop!

I don't want to have a family with you!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi, buddy.

Please!

I can’t understand if you don’t talk to me.

I don’t want a child.

We barely talk. How can we have a baby?

That’s where I want to get.

I know we are going through a tough phase right now.

- "A tough phase"? - But I think we need to go

to the next level. A baby will bring us closer.

I had an abortion.

What?

I had an abortion a year ago.

Did you have an abortion?

No.

It wasn’t an accident.

Damn!

I know we are going through a tough phase right now.

A baby will bring us closer.

I had an abortion.

I need to know.

There is nothing more to know.

I think you owe me more than that.

Do I "owe" you?

I don’t owe shit.

And what do you owe me?

You’re not exactly with clean credit right now.

- Stop. Just stop. - "Stop" what?

I don’t want to fight.

At least we are fighting.

- This is invigorating. - What do you mean?

How can you be so disconnected from everything?

So oblivious to our lack of substance?

How come wanting to have a child is a lack of substance?

I want to take our relationship to the next level,

to be a real family.

We haven’t shared a bed in months,

let alone had a conversation with more than three words.

Do you expect me to bring a child into this?

No, no more. I don’t want to!

I will not apologize for making this decision.

I do not want you to apologize for that.

But I think

that you should apologize for depriving me of the opportunity

to do the same.

You are a hypocrite.

If I hadn’t told you, you would never have discovered.

Yes. Aren’t you proud of that?

And you, are you?

You think I am a cold-hearted bitch.

You think it was easy for me to make this decision.

Stop telling me what I think.

You are wrong, so stop.

When?

Noah, leave it be.

Just tell me when.

It’s been almost a year.

Eleven months, actually.

Eleven months ago?

Weren’t we in Saint Barth 11 months ago?

It was where I got pregnant.

Three weeks after we returned, the doctor confirmed my suspicions.

In Saint Barth?

I don't know why you seem so surprised.

We already had problems before that.

Yes.

I know.

And now?

What do you mean?

After that, what are we going to do?

I don't think there is an "after".

We are broken.

I am so tired of you giving up constantly.

I am not giving up.

I am recognizing the fact that this is over.

This is not over.

Let's gain momentum.

We need to get over this.

How can you detach yourself so easily?

- How can you not care? - "Not care"?

Where were you when I found out that I was pregnant?

I was away for three days

and you didn't notice until the day after my departure.

Do you remember the lie I told on the phone?

Do you remember that?

That moment,

the moment that you don't even remember,

was my moment.

It's easy not to give up when you're not even there.

That is a double negative.

No.

Double negative was the only thing that I received from you.

Cheers!

There you go again, giving up!

I think you have no idea how it is to fight for something.

Your father can't fix this, Naomi!

He can't pay to get out of this!

I won't let you run away anymore!

This is not about my father.

It's about you being unable to see that it's over!

No, it is about you managing my life

like the spoiled brat that you have always been!

Let me go, Noah.

You can no longer control us.

Do you think I made this decision alone,

but the truth is that you made it with me.

I did not know that I was making a choice.

And whose fault is this?

WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER?

ARE WE MEETING TODAY?

I AM FREE TOMORROW AT LUNCH TIME.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH NAOMI?

WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER? ARE WE MEETING TODAY?

"Everything is bland.

Everything is colorless.

Everything is covered by a thin layer of gray dust.

Nothing has meaning anymore.

Everything is past.

I cannot smell anything,

I cannot touch,

I cannot hold.

Everything is escaping,

- and I don't even care". - You touched my cell phone.

Naomi? Your name is Naomi, right?

Yes.

I am called Noah.

Right.

Nice to meet you. I think.

Sorry.

Wait, listen...

I really liked what you said today,

how you read the poem. It was perfect.

Thank you.

Do you like Dylan Thomas?

Well, no.

Poetry is not my thing.

But I was wondering why you like it so much.

It seemed very sad to me.

I like it because it shows balance.

The way life really works.

What do you mean?

In all good things there is something bad.

But there is also something good in all bad things.

Yes.

Come on, girls, don't be shy.

- Hi! How are you? - Now, together.

Beautiful.

Cool, smile.

- Ready! - Cool!

- It turned out amazing. - Thank you.

YOU DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. I NEED MORE MONEY.

I WILL CALL YOU LATER.

I NEED MORE MONEY.

PLEASE.

I WILL CALL YOU LATER.

Naomi.

Naomi!

Naomi!

We need to talk!

Naomi?

Open the door!

Go away, Noah.

Naomi!

Open the door, Naomi!

We need to talk.

I have nothing more to say.

Leave me alone.

Naomi, open the door!

Go to your room.

Give me some space.

Naomi.

Don't lock yourself in there.

I am not locking myself in here,

I am locking you out there.

What’s the difference?

Naomi.

Just yesterday you were such a small child.

And suddenly you became a beautiful bride!

But,

seeing my daughter getting married is...

very difficult.

Dad, I am already an adult.

Stop it, Hiroshi.

You alcoholic.

Naomi,

please,

I know you are not sleeping.

Not after what happened.

I don't think you are insensitive.

You may not want to talk,

but...

I have a lot to say.

Thank you.

THE LIGHT BREAKS WHERE THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE

WHERE THE SEA DOES NOT FLOW, THE WATERS OF THE HEART...

COME WITH THEIR OWN TIDE

AND BROKEN GHOSTS WITH FIREFLIES IN THEIR HEAD.

THE THINGS OF LIGHT

COVER WITH SKIN, WHERE THERE IS NO SKIN ON THE BONES.

Aren't you going to say anything?

All right, so I say.

Yes.

Who is Katharine?

I met her at the theater.

She is a couples therapist.

For us.

Are you going around telling others about our problems?

We need all the help we can get, Naomi,

we are drowning!

Why are you fixated on this,

on wanting to save us?

That's why here.

Someone once told me that

there is something bad in all good things.

And something

good in all bad things.

And which one are we?

The good with a bad side

or the bad with a good side?

And does it matter?

I no longer know anything.

We need to go to this therapist.

I know you think that there is nothing more to do.

Nothing to save.

But I think there is.

And...

if I do nothing again,

then I will be letting you ruin my life...

Please, Naomi.

Give me some space to try.

I think you need more time for us.

Where are you going?

I am going to change. I am going to the lake by boat.

Noah...

Did you really try to turn on the generator when the power was out?

HELLO, MAN, HOW ARE YOU?

AMAZING PARTY... STILL TIRED. AND YOU, NOAH?

GOOD.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YES, YOU KNOW.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

YACHT AND BEERS?

RIGHT.

GREAT.

Noah?

Are you here?

Noah?

Noah?

Noah?

Noah?

Noah? Are you there?

Yes, I am here!

What are you doing here?

I thought I should try to call the electric company.

To really try to find out what is happening.

Can’t you do that on your cellphone?

I like to use the landline for that.

There are no signal problems.

Right, but...

Can you prepare a breakfast delicious that only you know how to make?

We want to take together. There is no need to wait for Hanna.

How is your son? Getting ready for university?

Shall we talk about the true reason we are here?

Noah!

Noah!

How is Naomi?

I am not sure.

Sometimes good,

sometimes not so good.

And, most of the time, simply horrible.

If we are talking, we are probably fighting.

You, young people, need to understand that marriage

means getting stronger.

Either you strengthen or you distance yourselves.

There is no third option.

Have you and Trudy ever come close to divorcing?

Is it that bad?

Yes.

Well, Trudy and I definitely had our tough moments.

But we had a trick.

Especially when we couldn't stop fighting

and all we did was spend days barking like dogs.

What was the trick?

"Bubble time."

What?

"Bubble time."

Trudy invented this many years ago.

I call it "limbo time," acho better.

Makes sense.

We had been fighting nonstop for days.

And, at some point,

she picked up a deck of cards,

placed it in front of me and said we were going to take a break.

She grabbed the kitchen timer and set it for 60 minutes.

And for 60 minutes we wouldn't fight,

nor talk about work, kids, our lives.

For 60 minutes we would just play.

Yes, yes.

I don't know if Naomi would agree to that.

And what about Katharine?

- Did you talk to her? - Yes.

I think she might be our best chance.

Noah!

Courage!

You've been through worse. You'll get through this.

Let's go.

Cheers, buddy!

- Hi! - Hello!

- How was it with David? - Good. It was nice to go out.

I'm going to make an iced tea. Want some?

Can't you ask Lucy to do this?

No, I will do it myself.

Alright then.

Sure, I would like an iced tea.

Go ahead. I'll meet you in the kitchen.

- Did you get lucky? - How?

At the lake. Did you catch anything?

No, I didn't. David caught.

I think there is nothing in that lake for me.

What are you looking for?

Our cups for iced tea.

Do we have special cups for that?

Yes, we have. We never used them, but we have.

Maybe in the pantry.

- Do you want me to go get them? - No. You don’t even know what they are like.

Take care of the kettle, I will go get them.

I will clean the table.

I found it!

Me too.

- Noah? - What is it?

- What are you doing? - I was just cleaning.

- What is that there? - The cups I told you about.

And did we pay for them? They are horrible.

No, we didn’t pay.

My aunt Sayuri gifted them to us.

Do you remember when she stayed here for a month?

- When she broke her leg. - Yes, I remember.

You are wrong, we paid for them with blood, sweat, and tears.

I thought Lucy would give up.

I am surprised she hasn’t shot herself in the head.

My aunt is evil, but Lucy is not suicidal.

No, I mean a bullet to the head of your aunt.

Sayuri is an unbearable woman.

She can turn an altar boy into a killer in less than 15 minutes.

What are you doing? Aren't we going to drink this?

It needs to chill for about an hour.

- An hour? - Yes.

I had an idea.

And now?

Now begins "the bubble hour".

What does that mean?

- "The bubble hour"? - Yes.

Didn't you say it would take an hour until the iced tea is ready?

So,

I propose that we give ourselves that hour.

Later,

we can come back and drink the iced tea,

while we discuss where we go from here.

But, for now, let's just forget.

Let's go back...

Let's go back to a time,

without blackouts,

without useless parties,

without Katharine.

Without Saint Barth. Without embassy.

Let's go back to a time when it was just us.

I don't know what will happen if...

Look, Naomi,

this whole weekend is already a work of fiction.

By your work or mine.

We staged this whole situation.

It ended up being more real than we expected.

You said you don't know if we'll have an "after."

But we have a "before."

And I miss that.

Me too.

Give it a break!

- When did you get so good? - I've always been this good.

No, that's not true. I beat you in that bet.

You didn't win.

I won, yes. Of course I won.

I beat you in a game of pool.

And my prize was that you had to go out with me. Remember?

Yes, I remember, of course. You didn’t win.

Did you lose on purpose?

I felt used.

Let’s have a rematch.

I was an innocent college student

and you used me like a sex toy.

Poor boy.

Do you want to start? Or should I start?

Okay, now you’re trying to scare me.

- I start. - Okay.

Nine of swords.

It’s a seven.

Of swords! That’s 50% of the card!

That’s half of the luck in the guess.

No, that wasn’t it. Take another one.

Alright.

Two of cups.

Are you seeing? I'm not kicking.

If I concentrate, I can tell which card is coming.

- Another lucky guess. - No, it's not.

I know which one is next. This time, draw a three.

Are you sure? That might hurt.

No, because I know which one is next.

Right, then.

Queen of spades.

King of spades.

Ace of hearts.

Are you serious?

I can't believe you fell for that!

You are a cruel woman.

Yes, I am.

I won.

- I thought we were playing poker. - Sorry.

Stop!

Professor Meriwether? Seriously?

- Seriously. - But he seemed so...

I know. Here it is.

"Love has the face of a woman with dark eyes."

What a tacky jerk!

He wasn't 60 years old

- when did you attend his classes? - 64!

He gave me this book at the end of a lecture,

and invited me to his birthday party.

- Did you go? - Of course not,

but my friend Leah went.

And?

And it turned out to be a private party.

Dirty old man!

Wasn't Leah the blonde with braids?

Yes.

Looks like the braids worked on him.

I think the braids also worked on her.

- Seriously? - Yes.

"What will we do tomorrow?

What will we do?"

Let's make a toast.

Another? The last one wasn't very good.

We need to make a toast about a broader subject, something useful.

Alright. What do you propose?

To peace.

What kind of peace?

Are you joking with me now?

Alright...

To peace of mind.

To peace of mind.

Health.

Cheers!

Good!

It's a beautiful night.

Noah, I think we have already gone past the trivial conversation.

Yes.

You are right.

We said we would talk, so...

Who is this so-called Katharine?

It's been a while since I've talked to David about our problems and...

Did you tell David?

Yes. He is my friend and I needed someone to talk to.

He is also your colleague at work.

He and Trudy have been married for 40 years!

Does Trudy know?

I don't know. What does it matter?

It matters to me!

How could you tell people at work about us?

How could you violate our privacy like this?

I can't believe it!

Well, I couldn't exactly talk to you about it, could I?

David introduced me to Katharine there at the theater.

And...

I asked her for professional help.

I told her we needed a consultation as soon as possible.

And that's why she sent you a message in the middle of the night?

Yes, I asked if we could meet with her tomorrow.

Today.

- What? - Today. There is no tomorrow. Tomorrow is today.

Yes!

Today is the day I wanted to meet with Katharine

to ambush you for a consultation with her.

And she is such a dedicated therapist

that she left a party and went home,

checked her schedule

and sent a message to you in the middle of the night?

Yes!

Well, what luck for us that you found her!

Are you jealous?

You hardly knew of my existence in the last year, and now you are jealous?

- I am your wife! It is my right! - I am not so sure about that anymore.

You changed my rights without telling me,

so why should your rights remain the same?

I can't believe we're back to this!

We never got away from this!

So, what was that "time in the bubble" for?

It was a diplomatic tactic

to deceive your opponents and lead them to an unfair agreement?

Because I know you have done that before!

I was not deceiving you. That was real!

You said you tried to deceive me so that I would meet Katharine!

Because you hardly spoke to me before!

So, you needed a therapist to "ambush" me?

Sorry, do you prefer the word "intervention"?

Go to hell, Noah!

I’m sorry, love.

Did you get hurt?

Yes, but I’m fine.

- Don’t move. I will get you out of there. - Don’t come here.

- You’re going to step on some glass. - Okay, alright.

I will get out of here.

Here.

Take it.

Sorry.

It’s all fine.

I made a mess.

Look at it this way:

at least, there’s one less of those horrible swan cups in the world.

- I’ll cover this, right? - Yes.

Just in case it starts to bleed again.

There. It’s as good as new.

Naomi? Are you okay?

No.

Are you feeling dizzy? Do you want to lie down?

I should never have told you.

What is the purpose now?

We can't go back.

We tried,

but it didn't work out.

It didn't work.

It only hurt you. Nothing more.

I wanted to know.

I still want to. Even if it hurts.

I know it's your decision,

but you told me because it was the right thing to do.

No.

I said it because I needed you to back down.

I needed to hurt you.

Because you weren't listening to me anymore.

Do you want to know?

Even if it hurts?

Yes.

I stopped talking

because you stopped listening.

And, after a while without talking,

I forgot

everything about me.

When I look to the future

there is nothing there,

it is empty.

I am empty.

You just need some time to sort things out.

We can do this. I can help you.

No, you can't.

Why not?

Because you have...

this perfect, aligned life.

All these plans.

My plans are not perfect, they are just plans.

Exactly. I don't even have that.

And everything I see in you

are all the things I should be, but I can't.

All that I see are my failures, my imperfections,

- how I am constantly failing. - No, stop. Stop.

I am not perfect nor are my plans.

And you,

are not a failure.

And your failures,

whatever they may be,

are what make you perfect.

- No. - Yes, it's true.

That makes you perfect for me,

because your failures

fit perfectly with my failures.

In your room or in mine?

I would like to go back to our room,

if you don't mind.

I remember everything about the day we met.

I remember that your hair was longer,

and you were wearing a blue skirt.

And...

a white shirt,

that had a...

two...

three...

open buttons.

I give up!

You were so beautiful in front of the class,

reciting Thomas and explaining why he was very good.

No one looks good reciting Thomas.

You did.

- Do you know why? - Why?

"Because in everything bad there is something good".

"And in all good things there is something bad".

Exactly.

A beautiful first conversation.

Very existential.

I had to go out with you after this.

What was it?

I just remembered the poem you created

when you invited me out for the first time.

"Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

I want to date you What do you say to me?"

How horrible.

I opened my heart to you, and you just left.

Did not say a word.

Did you expect that I would take you seriously?

Yes! With so much good poetry in the world,

there must be some space for bad poetry.

And I am a great poet, you have to admit.

"Your flaws fit perfectly with my flaws."

It's a great line.

And I was sincere.

So what is it?

What is what?

Your flaw, what is it?

It doesn't matter now.

It does matter, yes.

I shared mine and I think it is important that you share yours.

This is one of those...

"I show mine, if you show me yours?"

No.

I am not kidding.

This is important.

If you really want this,

we need to start a more honest version of both of us.

I need to know and you need to tell me.

Do you really want to know?

Yes.

Okay.

Where are you going?

I will show you my flaw.

Should I go with you?

No.

Wait here.

Why are you dressed?

And you?

What is happening?

You are scaring me.

What happened?

You have to understand that it was an accident.

Well, can you?

Yes.

And after it happened,

I did what I thought was best for everyone.

For us.

I understand.

It's okay.

Did this happen in a nearby neighborhood?

It happened on the road I take to get to David's house.

Did you know this person?

The driver?

No, the victim.

No, but the driver, yes, and you also know.

My God! My God!

- It was an accident. - You killed someone!

No! It was an accident!

- No way! - Yes, babe.

I will go.

What?

This is not a "failure". This is a crime!

It was an accident.

- You have to go to the police. - It was an accident.

Don't come to me with that!

It happened after one of those nights of poker that David used to organize.

I was coming home and...

He appeared out of nowhere.

I didn't even see him.

I panicked. In panic, okay?

Didn't you stop?

Maybe he was still alive.

How can you live with that?

Do you think I don't ask myself that question every day?

I don't know what you think anymore. What happened after that?

Did you just get home and go to bed?

No, no.

I woke up Zhao and made a deal with him.

I told him that if the police came looking for me,

he had to say that he drove me to David's house.

In exchange, I helped him get

the immigration papers for him and his family.

We have an agreement with China, so, I talked to some people...

I told him to drive the car to the junkyard,

and I used the jack to open the gate and the garage door.

The next morning, I reported the car theft.

- And... - And?

And that was it. Nothing.

The police came the next day, I told them a version and that was it.

Did you tell the truth to Zhao?

No, I told him that I had gone through a red light

and my driver's license was expired.

And...

Moreover, he was an illegal immigrant, he wouldn't go to the police.

The moment he received his papers,

he forgot everything.

If it was an accident, why didn't you call the police?

Why didn't you ask for their help? Why?

I had had some beers at David's house.

Were you drunk?

- Not drunk, just a little... - Drunk! You were drunk!

No, I was distracted.

Does this "distraction" have a name?

No, that's not it.

No! No!

That!

Health.

Calm! Stay calm, Angel! Calm!

- Stay in the car. - My God.

No! No!

Stay in the car! Stay in the car!

What the hell...

- Hi, man. It will be alright. Right? - My God.

My God!

Stop! Stop! Call the police, call an ambulance!

What? What happened?

Where is your cell phone? Where is it?

I can't...

Listen, let's tell them that you are a friend.

- As soon as they know who I am... - I am 16 years old!

What?

I am 16 years old! I'm sorry, dear.

- What? - I'm sorry, dear.

- What? - I'm sorry!

Damn! Damn!

You lied to me!

You lied to me!

How long have you been lying to me?

- I'm very sorry. - You lied.

- I'm sorry. - Crap!

I'm very sorry, dear.

My God!

I'm very sorry, boy.

I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry.

It's okay.

Everything will be okay.

I will do what is best for all of us now, alright?

Just relax. Relax, okay?

I'm very sorry.

No.

I'm sorry.

Everything will be okay.

No!

What are you doing?

Get in the damn car!

Get in the damn car! Now!

Now!

You have to go to the police.

No, Naomi, it was an accident.

Hitting that man was an accident,

but not everything that happened afterward.

- I did what I thought was best! - You didn't.

I don't think so.

Did this come out the next day?

Maybe a few days after the accident?

This article was published three days before we went to Saint Barth.

I thought it would be better

if we weren't around. To make sure.

So, we went to Saint Barth...

The surprise vacation you told me that you planned for months?

To rekindle our relationship?

No, I was planning this trip for months.

The circumstances only accelerated the process.

- Lie! - It worked anyway, didn't it?

Naomi...

You are a good diplomat.

Please, don't talk like that.

Either you are the best diplomat in the world, or you are a cold-blooded killer.

- You choose. - What should I do?

Tell you? Talk about it with you?

No, of course not, you couldn't do that!

That's why you involved me in your lies.

I can't even say among all the things that happened,

- what was real and what wasn't! - Real? Do you want to know what was real?

Real was the car that disappeared from our garage and you didn't even notice.

Real were the police that interrogated me

in our living room,

while you were receiving donations for, God knows, a ridiculous cause!

Real was the moment you asked for me to take my things out of this room

so you could sleep alone,

but you never bothered to ask why

I was leaving you so easily!

You got what you wanted, that is all that matters to you!

How could you want a baby after this?

- He was not a child. - He was someone's son!

Just like our son that you aborted?

Hi.

- Hi, Trudy? It's Noah. - Hi, Noah.

Sorry to bother you so early.

Can I speak to David?

Is everything okay?

Is Naomi okay?

Yes. We are okay.

It's urgent, that's all.

But I can call another time.

No, I will call David.

Okay? Wait a bit.

Noah?

Hi, David. Sorry to bother you so early, but...

otherwise I would have ended up giving up.

What nonsense.

- Why did you wake up so early? - I stayed awake all night.

Do you want to come here?

No, it is not necessary. Thank you.

The worst part has already passed.

Alright, then, what is happening?

Send the papers.

So,

did you talk about Katharine?

And the "hour in limbo"?

We have already passed that point, David.

The limbo has turned into purgatory and now it is all a hell in flames.

Do you want to think about it for a few more days?

No,

I have already made up my mind.

I want to request a divorce.

CALL ME, NOAH.

I’LL CALL YOU LATER.
