Thank you very much.

Where are you from, Mr. Fuller?

- From london. - But you are not English.

"Clive Companies", good morning.

Yes, one moment, please.

Mr. Milne, call of Mr. Sandsburg

Can I help you?

You can tell Mr. Clive that Jim Fuller wants to see him.

Of course.

Ms. Leighton, here's Mr. Fuller to see Mr. Clive.

That will do, thank you.

- It can happen, please, it's that door. - Thank you.

Go ahead!

Tell Mr. Miller that you will see it after lunch

We'll see if for that hour You already have a solution.

- Fuller, I'm glad to see you. - How are you, Mr. Clive?

You arrive punctually. I like that. Sit down

I've taken a look at his papers,

your experience and your business background

They are awesome for a young man.

- He's 36 years old. - Yes.

I'm glad that during his first year in Prison would put it in accounting.

Work for which he was trained.

It's amazing to see how it helped him his previous preparation.

I had a good education, Mr. Clive.

You came to England during the war...

- Almost when it was over. - But your family is still in Canada, is not it?

Yes.

- You decided to emigrate. - I prefer to stay here.

Well, to be Honest with you, Fuller ...

When I learned the whole story, I had my doubts about giving it a try.

A normal reaction, how will you understand?

But a man He changed his mind.

I do not need to tell you Who was that man?

Dr. McNally.

Did you know that he came to see me?

Do not.

Well, he did, when he was transferred here about a month ago.

You have to appear before him, Right?

It is a requirement of my conditional freedom.

That's what he said. He came to see me one afternoon ...

... several afternoons, in fact.

I admit that at first I resisted, but then...

Well, he's a pretty straight man and convincing, do not you think?

Yes, I think so.

Now, as for the question of the prison and its crime ...

... his illness, to use the right term,

you have to convince me that is completely cured

and that he has great confidence in himself himself and his abilities.

I will already be trained My own opinion, Fuller.

Now, changing the subject, This will be your job.

I will not have specific duties for the moment.

I want you to become familiar with this organization.

This is a Blooming city, Fuller ...

and my organization is part of that goal.

I want to be one of the leaders of progress.

And I want my employees feel the same.

Well, we can start now.

Yes, Mr. Clive.

Can you come for a moment, Ruth?

My secretary, Ruth Leighton, knows that you were in prison but nothing more.

The others do not know anything about the matter.

I think you will like it work here, Fuller.

We work hard and enjoy it.

Ruth, he's Mr. Fuller, She is Mrs. Leighton.

- How is it? - How are you?

She will show you her office ...

and give you all the material you need to start.

The goal is to learn everything what you can about us

and then I would like to hear your opinion.

Yes, Mr. Clive ... and thank you again.

You do not need to thank me more.

Good luck.

These are the main offices.

Admissions, investments, ideas and publicity.

We have expanded very fast since the foundation of the company.

Sales, typography and administrative matters.

You will occupy one of the offices for executives.

sa is an unexpected promotion.

Things happen so in the Clive Companies.

I think you'll like it work here

- Mr. Clive thinks the same. - Really?

Ruth, the client I spoke to he has been calling.

I have it waiting until that Mr. Clive decides.

He is considering the matter now.

Mr. Milne, this is Mr. Fuller.

Nice to meet you. I already knew you were coming.

An aid always comes well.

You will like to work here.

- Did I say something funny? - No, Mr.

I would appreciate it if you let me know when Mr. Clive decides.

Roy Milne, the second in command.

He is here from the beginning as representative of the manufacturers.

- Do you like it? - Yes, it's cozy.

Mr. Clive supervised all the decoration.

- He probably told you. - No, not that.

To begin, I selected this of the files for you.

Articles on the incorporation from several companies ...

models, staff list and his charges ...

There is much more material, but I did not want overwhelm him on his first day.

I'll have to keep the pace.

Its efficiency is overwhelming.

One adapts to the speed. Mr. Clive not only oversees the decoration.

But there are compensations that make Unusual to the Clive Companies.

Here is a free exchange of ideas without politics or secrets.

Most employees he deals only with his affairs.

What I want to say is...

What, especially I, would regret that it was not like that.

Of course not.

I know you are aware I was in prison, Mrs. Leighton.

So you do not need to try to be kind or having tact.

I am sorry.

If you need some other material or have Any question, av seme.

- I appreciate your help. - There's no question.

Mrs. Leighton ...

... a moment ago I was rude. I apologize for that.

It's fine.

Yes, come on.

- Are you, Jimmy? - Yes.

- I'll be with you in a moment. - Take your time.

I'm sorry I made you wait.

Do not you think the State should provide the necessary amenities?

It makes me feel like a street specialist.

You look good.

Take off your coat and sit down.

Well, where is your form?

- Do you like the city, doctor? - I do not know.

Sometimes I like it and sometimes I would like be back in the penitentiary.

- And you? - It is a nice place.

You do not have to be nice to me, I'm not member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Where the hell is that form?

According to the book when you do not find something is because you do not want to find it.

Very funny ... ah !, here it is.

It must be true, if there is anything that I hate, it is fill out these forms.

So, for James Fontaine, and you're Fuller ...

- Released from prison, does he do that? - Two days, from the 21st.

Two days ago, good?

Your conditional low attitude is good

and seems to be adapting satisfactorily.

- That's true, is not it? - I think.

- It means that it is satisfactory. - I think.

- A cigarette? - No thanks.

I forgot that you do not like them Turkish cigarettes, sorry.

I light one of yours ...

while I tell the Office of Conditional what they want to hear.

They can smoke, if they wish.

We will meet here three times a week and we will talk.

It will be good talks ...

And I will tell you why.

This is called group therapy. It means that a few people

they meet to talk about themselves and with the others.

They try to find out what makes them explode ...

to commit a crime, for example.

It's an acquired attitude, you know?

It is not congenital.

And to dig up the reasons that cause that outburst ...

you have to travel so far in which you were born.

Then, maybe ...

maybe you discover that you are the victims and not the opposite.

It will not be easy to comment on things what they will have to say

I will not press them.

Something must be clear:

Whatever is said in this room, he stays here.

If any of you think you can not keep the secret of the others ...

You must leave right now.

Leaving the room, I do not think that can go further.

We can start now

Any questions?

No hurry, take your time.

I do not see why the hell I must stay here.

This may be fine for you ...

but I should not even be imprisoned.

- S , of course! - Come on, mate.

I was not to blame for the explosion.

I tell you that everything was a trap!

Why do not you tell us what happened? Would you care?

Would you mind, Jim?

Jimmy, does it matter?

I am sorry.

Tell me your current address.

I guess you've already installed.

428 St. Mounts Street.

428 St. Mounts Street.

- What were you thinking? - Nothing in particular.

Your cigarettes still smell very bad.

They remind you of something, right?

The day I told you I wanted to kill you.

Well, that was the day I knew that you were on the right path.

- Tell me, Jim, how are you doing? - All right.

- Thanks to you. - Thanks to yourself.

- I was referring to employment. - Oh, yes, the job.

What do you think?

It seems that you had to fight with a guy named Clive.

- Clive ?, ah, yes. - Come on, doctor.

We must be direct and honest with our patients.

Well, it's true that I talked to him.

He has connections with prison authorities.

Offers jobs and boasts of having a good social conscience.

So, I took advantage of that a bit.

What do you think of him?

It's interesting

He is an ambitious guy.

He wants to get very high but I think he's a decent guy.

It took me a bit to persuade him, you would have thought the same.

Look, Doc, I just wanted to thank you.

Let me thank him for it. They are lucky to have hired you.

You have seemed hard these first days?

I did not know I would see you so fast.

- Do you sleep well? - Yes.

- Have you had any of those nightmares? - Occasionally.

How often is it from time to time?

I had one last week. The night before leaving.

And a little one a few nights ago.

How much of a child?

It was not the big ones, it did not have to do with problem number one.

It does not make sense that you support that.

You should sleep. Take pills.

If you can not sleep, do not do the hero Take a pill.

How is that place where you stay?

The pension of an elderly couple.

How is it?

I think it will be fine. They are nice people.

- Is there something that worries you? - Do not.

Why are you frowning?

This morning I was scared. I thought that the The landlady's husband had recognized me.

- Why did you think that? - He said that my face seemed familiar.

He could have seen my picture in the newspapers.

He did not recognize you. Look, Jim, that was a long time ago ...

and the images vanish, especially those of the newspapers.

Is that the whole story?

Yes. Except for those moments, the days are normal.

That is natural at the beginning.

The world seems different. It is scary.

It's logical. After 3 years, you can not expect to reinsert yourself in just 2 days.

Why is it good then to face So soon to the world?

Why not spend more days or a week ...

in the privacy of my room hotel without having to see so many people?

- Do you think that would help? - I know.

Do you know?

I have some doubts, but that's reasonable, do not you think?

It depends. Do you fear it will happen again?

I must trust your word What will not happen?

I never said it would not happen, I said that I would be surprised if it happened.

- I recommended your departure but never ... - Stop pinching me.

I'm not puncturing you.

Look, I've had enough of this in prison.

If I am fine, Why do not you leave me alone?

Let me serve you more coffee.

As in the old days, no?

Yes, I would still like to kill you occasionally.

- That is not bad. - Why does it happen to me if I'm fine?

Well, Jim, let's say you are convalescent.

It takes time to accept the methods of people who try to help you

Remember that being outside It is also part of the therapy.

Your coffee is worse than your cigarettes.

Well, it's all on my part.

For the same reason.

Go home.

Can we see you next Friday?

At the same time. If you need to talk before with me, just av same.

Very kind of you, Doc.

- Work for the house? - I guess it will keep me entertained.

Do not exhaust yourself too much.

- Goodnight. - Good evening, Jimmy.

- Do you want to hear something funny? - Try it.

You know what I found on the wall next to my bed in the pension?

I can not imagine it

"The blue boy"

- Do not tell me. - Is not it funny?

- You left him there? - Yes.

Then it's funny.

Good evening, Doc.

Come on, Fontaine, what's your first I remember as a child?

Just say it, it will not hurt you.

- What are you afraid of? - Do not be shy, man.

Everyone has spoken, why not?

I will guide the talk now.

Come on, Fontaine, tell us what it is The first thing you remember.

- Are you going to decide, Jimmy? - It's the blue boy!

- I already said it! - What's a blue boy?

- It's the portrait of a child. - Do not tell me!

I've seen her, she's a pretty boy with curls.

- Where did you see her? - In my house, naturally.

- Who did you like? - I guess my mother.

- Did you love your mother, Jim? - Of course.

- What was she like? - Like any mother.

- What did your father do? - Selling insurance for houses.

- Are you the only son? - Do not.

- How many more? - Five.

- Are you the oldest? - The smallest one.

And the others, how many men and how many females?

What's the matter, Jim, do not you remember?

- Five females. - Five females! Fenomenal!

I would not have left home!

For me, three would be enough.

It's fine, it's enough.

- That made you special, right? - What do you mean by "special"?

You were the youngest and the only guy.

Where do you want to go?

- neThe baby of mam ! - Who said that ?!

Mam and her blue baby!

- Did they curl your hair? - And they put a little blue bow on it.

Enough! Give it now! Stay!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Did you sleep well? - Very well thanks.

Come and sit down. It will serve your breakfast in a moment.

- Start with toast, of course. - Yes, thank you.

- Scrambled eggs? - That would be fine.

Mr. Fuller knows the importance of breakfast to start the day.

Yes, mam , but eggs all tomorrow is boring.

They are good for you

- But if you ... - I do not want to hear more about that, Arnold.

I'm not the same as before, now my legs are swollen.

The fault is the first World War.

- I suppose you participated too. - Yes.

- In the infantry? - In the navy.

Well, they, too, did their thing.

Here you have, I suppose today you will all your meals with us.

You do not have to go to work.

I work for home.

Have lunch, if I can.

Do not dine?

Well, I wanted to see something of the city tonight.

Well, if that's what you want ...

It would be very good if I could show him the city.

But we know that It is impossible, dear.

It chills your breakfast.

S ?

I interrupt him?

Ahead.

You work too much

My legs are not very good today.

- Does it bother you that I'm sitting here? - Do not.

I was thinking about the last war ...

Could you get to Paris?

Yes, I was there about three weeks.

I've been there for 38 years.

It is the most beautiful place I have visited.

What women! ... Was it ever to the "Folies"?

Do not.

Arnold, where are you going? Are you bothering Mr. Fuller?

He only entered for a moment. You will go down right away.

You and I have to go to the canteen ...

Arnold!

This takes it right until the last quarter ...

... and I'm happy to say that's all.

To me too.

He has had to review a lot of material.

When you're ready for Mr. Clive ...

He will notify me with one or two days in advance?

- He asked you? - Yes, but with no intention of rushing him.

There is no need to start until you feel safe.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

No, my mother really dreaded to men ...

...I mean, how rude they can be.

It's very true, sabe?

You listened when I told Arnold I was back at 9.

Look, here I am talking Only my problems ...

and you have your own.

I will tell them at some point, right?

Sure, Mrs. Cartwright ...

but, if you excuse me, I must read something before going to bed.

Mr. Fuller ...

S ?

I'd like you to call me Gertrude.

If you call me Jim.

Goodnight.

Arnold, you were at the bar And you're drunk!

- Only I had a drink. - I can smell half a dozen!

You ridicule me!

Come on, my dear, it was a single drink!

I will not tolerate it, Arnold ... Go up to your room!

- I'm sorry, love, I just ... - C llate!

What will Mr. Fuller think?

"You give your son a good example!"

Going out with your buddies and coming back drunk home Do not move!

Stay seated and esc chame until it finish!

Pap , let's fight!

Come on, daddy!

Please!

Where did you hit him?

- You already heard me. - Why?

I mean, it was an accident.

- There are no accidents, huh, Doc? - True.

You're saying I hit him by the way.

- You hated it! - I loved him!

- No matter the drunkenness? - Of course I do.

But the little "blue boy" I loved mam more.

You eliminated daddy forever and you stayed with mam .

- You're an alima a! - He has his point of view, Jimmy.

- He has a dirty mind! - So, why did you fight?

Do not fight me, just play!

- Is that all? - I do not know.

Maybe you wanted your father It seems more like a man.

I did not need him, he was a man.

Really? Your mother did not look like Believe a lot in your man.

You were not afraid of her I'll steal yours too?

And you think he was sorry because he thought that with only 5 years?

It could be instinctive.

- My subconscious? - Yes.

- Blast! - Why?

How can you say that I was fighting for my man and, at the same time, support Akers?

- What did you want your mother? - S !

Both things can be true. A 5-year-old child is unpredictable.

- Besides, your mother had a problem. - What?

I took off your manhood and, at the same time, I wanted you to be more man.

Your mind is so rotten like Akers!

Let's go back to the beginning ...

He will not do it and remove that cigarette from my face. He smells dirty pig!

I swear, love, I just took a drink!

Leave the whining! Do not you feel embarrassed?

In short, you think that our organization is disoriented.

If you want to see it like that. We have here, minimum, ten business activities ...

... most have no relation whatsoever with the others.

Have seen our last earnings report, Fuller?

Yes.

- Awesome, do not you think? - Yes.

We achieved it with the current system ...

based on the authority of Mr. Clive and in decisions made by me.

I do not question the competition of Mr. Clive or his ...

Of course I do. You do not believe, for example,

that we can open and direct a small plastic factory at this time.

I said you should not do it with the current staff.

Current staff can handle that without even doing overtime.

Yes, but gradually your staff It would be less and less specialized.

And each activity would be carried out less competently.

- It's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. - Roy!

An enormously successful operation.

Business professionals working to do an impeccable job ...

Roy, please!

Well, Fuller, you're prepared to work on that plan that suggests us?

- Of course. - And the plastic business?

Are you really ready, Fuller?

As Mr. Milne says, This is an important job.

I have to study very well these Companies.

Mainly I have to study the staff,

the training, the skills.

- You will need time. - Of course.

I can give him all the time need.

Then, I would like to try it.

Thanks, Fuller. I think that's it, for the moment.

Wait a minute, Roy.

Sorry...

Here you have some notes from Mr. Clive ...

about the staff that You can be valuable.

What did you do to him? this morning?

Why?

- Can I have one of these cigarettes? - Clear.

Miss Leighton ...

There was a man in prison who used to tell his companions:

"The advantaged boys you chase"

Then he went to bed and did not say one more word.

- Are you still doing it? - I doubt it.

- The news is good, obviously. - Why do you say it?

Simply because I entered my office after you left and told me:

"It's an interesting guy that Fuller."

You are going to work on a plan to make some changes here.

Yes.

If you allow me to do it a suggestion, Mr. Fuller ...

There is no need to feel pressed ... no longer.

- The trouble? - Of course not.

I've noticed that he only goes out to eat A sandwich and come back right away.

Why do not we celebrate with a lunch appropriate ... as for an executive?

There is a very good restaurant near here.

It's where I usually go. Do you want to accompany me?

Yes, thank you.

Then we are in the reception within half an hour.

Very good.

You presented your idea to Milne very firmly?

With what firmness?

Let's say emphatically.

You do not seem to be very worried about that.

At this moment, I am experiencing that exact feeling.

I think the motto is: "Work hard to relax a lot"

Yes ...

Mr. Clive may sound very pompous sometimes.

Actually he is a very man intelligent, warm and generous.

I think the same.

Can believe you do not have time for something other than work?

Even so, many times I have seen him demonstrate feelings and principles.

One thing is exaggerated feelings and another, very different, is to repress them.

Do you think that must defend him before me?

Of course not.

I am very grateful to him, if That's what you wanted to remind me.

That was not my intention.

My lack of feelings and the exaggerated Clive ...

Are they the cause of this lunch?

- Part of my rehabilitation ... - Do you want to stop ?!

Anything else, sir?

- No, thanks, that's all. - For me too.

I'm an imbecile, I'll accept that as an apology?

If you accept first Some comments.

My husband was a lawyer. He solves Talk to me about men in prison.

All were insensitive, but none He was acting rudely.

When he spoke like that of Mr. Clive, I thought of myself, if you want to know.

And in my own gratitude for what he did for me 3 years ago when my husband died.

Do you understand now?

I am so sorry.

Inez, you can put me to the Miss Leighton, please?

He just left.

But I'll try to find her, Mr. Fuller.

Do not worry, I'll try later. Thank you.

- Answer Akers question, Jim. - I did not hear it.

Answer Akers' question, Jim.

I'll ask you again, boy.

- Ever ...? - I already heard you!

- It's natural that you're ashamed. - Embarrassed and short!

- Do not be sorry, son. - Is not that...

Let's put it another way, Jim.

- Did you love any woman? - We do not need your picture.

- Say it now, your mommy would not leave it. - That's enough!

- Suppose I told you that I did. - S , what?

That I loved a woman.

By God, he would have realized if he loved her or not?

Leave it quiet.

Where was that, Jim?

In Paris, during the war.

Wow, that was the best time of all.

What do you mean, Akers, that the boys get excited?

Who was she?

An American girl named Ellen.

Where did you meet her?

In the camp of the Red Cross, she worked there.

What happened?

Come on, son, do you say that You fell in love with the girl?

- That's how it was. - Was it an adventure or something serious?

- What do you mean? - How long did they see each other?

- Two or three weeks. - Did they spend a lot of time together?

- Yes. - Do you think you fell in love with her?

- I think so, yes. - Well, s or not?

- Dec te, silly. - What was she like?

They want me to draw them pornographic images?

- Yes, son. - Could you do that?

- They're a band of perverts! - You just have to answer, Jim.

Come on, boy, tell us ... Did you like it?

I want to go back to my cell and think about that all night.

- They know I do not want to talk! - No, what happened?

- Why not, Jimmy? - Come on, tell us!

- She was a nymphomaniac. - What?

- Addicted to sex, do you understand? - What makes you think that?

- Yes, how could you know? - Tell me, Jim ... You loved her?

- I think so. - And she loved you?

- What happens if I do? - Do not you know?

Two people who love each other have right to ask for a lot.

- What happened? - I can not stand it.

- I abandoned her. - What did she say?

- She did not say anything. - No? ... you did not give him a chance.

Do not you see? ... to begin with, she deserved an opportunity.

You took the opportunity to zafarte.

Oh hello.

- You were resting? - Do not.

I know we had a little girl discussion in the boss's office

But that's the way business is, do not you think?

Yes, of course.

In fact, I admire the way in which you defended your theory.

There may be a certain amount in that purpose of yours.

I told the boss that he would give you all the information you will need.

I will work with you, so to speak.

- Thanks, Milne. - No, why? All for the cause, is not it?

The first thing is that you pass me a note asking for all the information.

Very good.

Well ... good night, Fuller.

Goodnight.

You're not resentful, are you?

I'm not.

We need a man a lot smart as t .

I sure am.

Inez, with Miss, Leighton, please.

Yes, Mr. Fuller.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Jim Fuller.

- But if you're busy, I can ... - You can not speak.

I just wanted to apologize again.

It is not necessary.

Apart from that, lunch It was very nice.

I'm glad.

Maybe we could repeat it.

Yes.

- Well, you have to work. - Yes, thanks for calling.

- Well, continue with your story. - There's nothing more to tell.

I proposed to stand there all a minute ...

but it only lasted a few seconds.

Why did you torture yourself?

I wanted to prove to myself that I could.

Sure, if you were an alcoholic ...

the test would be to have a Whiskey bottle in the room.

- It's not a good analogy ... - Of course not,...

but it has the basic similarities, that's it.

The fact is that at the moment in which I face the problem ...

What you did was stop there and imagine a problem.

The problem still exists.

Cu l? ... 3 years ago probably You would have run out.

Well, James, what do you really care about?

What I already told you

How is the work going?

- All right. - Really?

Clive thinks I'm "an interesting guy".

I see, give it a little time, Is that what he said?

No to me, to Miss Leighton.

- She's the secretary, is not she? - That's it.

I met her, she is a very nice person.

Do they treat you well where you are living?

It could not be better.

- Are you sleeping? - Yes.

And you put the painting of the "boy blue "in the place that corresponds to it.

Yes, it reminded me some things, it's everything.

- Do you have many things to remember? - Yes, doctor.

- Give me an example. - Of what?

Of the things you remember.

- I do not see the meaning. - Does not matter.

Well, I thought about Ellen yesterday afternoon.

- Ellen? - The girl I met in Paris.

Oh, yes, what's the matter with that?

Nothing, I just thought about it.

What did he do ...?

Doctor McNally.

No, as I told you, I'm with a patient now.

Yes, but I'll I asked that you never call ...

Look, dear, I told you I could not meet with you before 10.

I'm sorry I gave you that impression, but ...

Hello?

Hazel?

And you think you have a problem ...

When a man, a doctor and with my age decides to get married ...

I'm sorry, James, It's your time, not mine.

What I asked you was what It made you think of Ellen.

- Nothing in particular. - And what did you remember exactly?

That she was not a nymphomaniac. I was just a normal woman ...

that asked me things that I I was not ready to give.

Normal things you could not give.

It's fine, doctor, we know.

Is that all?

Well, also how poisonous and I avoided that day.

- Is that all? - Yes, doctor, that's all.

So, t and Clive They are getting along very well.

Yesterday we had a battle, I had to get strong.

And Miss Leighton told you what he says that you're an interesting guy

- Yes. - That's lovely.

- What's lovely? - The little confidences of the boss.

- Are you insinuating something? - No, I just think it's very nice.

Do not be suspicious, doctor, it happens that she and I work together

- ... and I found it very natural ... - I would also see very natural

that we would go out to lunch together once or twice.

Wow, they did it.

In fact, we did it yesterday for the first time.

Wow, McNally, you're a genius.

An unpleasant lunch, We had a discussion.

Why?

I was on the defensive and she just wanted to be nice.

- You screwed up? - Something like that, I do not know.

- You went back to work? - Naturally.

And then you thought of Ellen.

I think you said it was in the afternoon.

That's stupid, I really do not know Good to Miss Leighton.

- But you would like it. - I have no idea.

You do not have to have it, our instincts take care of ideas.

It is not a mystery

Then, the first normal woman and attractive that I know ...

Like Ellen ...

It's fine, like Ellen.

The first after 3 years to reorganize my life

and face my fears with will

and I flee again.

I'm afraid to face the question. I do not see why you relate to Ellen.

Because I'm still not here selfconfident?

Nobody is sure of anything.

That is not an answer.

Each one has to find yours, is not it?

Yes, doctor, and let me draw conclusions It's part of the cure, right?

We know what happens with phobias, do not you?

They make you have a fight with someone like Miss Leighton

so as not to have to face the relationship with a normal woman,

because that could cause an incident like the playground is this morning.

- Is not that true, doctor? - Very good.

- Let's leave it for today, will you? - I have no objection.

- There's a point that escapes you, doctor. - S ?

The woman that I find attractive She is married.

- I'm safe, as you will see. - Very good.

Except that it is not, her husband died.

- And you found out about that at lunch? - Yes.

Well, it's very funny if you think about it

What was your first reaction?

- I do not know. - Were you pleased, fearful ...?

Both

- Do you want to see her again? - I do not think she wants to see me.

That's not what I asked you.

Yes, I want.

- Satisfied? - Charmed.

It's Hazel, you better go, I do not want you This call discourages you.

Yes, my love.

Yes, dear.

Yes, dear.

- Good morning, Inez. - Good morning, Mr. Fuller.

Good morning

Pass.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

I was beginning to think that you were dodging me

When I spoke with you by phone you sounded so formal and ceremonious ...

I'm sorry, I thought you were only being cort s

But I felt what I said.

Well, that's already clear.

Ruth, can we ever get out?

I mean, after work.

Yes, of course.

Are you free tonight?

I am.

I'll call you around 8.

I can pick you up, We could go in my car.

But I do not know where you live.

I may have given you work find the address.

We will see each other in front of Post Office.

Very good.

It is very good.

Thank you, sir.

Good evening, sir. Good evening, sir.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - To you, sir.

We smoke a cigarette here that is quiet and pleasant.

What did you think of the French restaurant?

That is very English.

I smoke too much, I have no will, t too?

I smoke any type of tobacco except the Turk.

One comes to love England despite of rain, is not it strange?

A bit.

Have you been to Switzerland?

I was born in Lausanne.

There, I met Arthur. I worked with the "British Council".

What I want to say is...

when we got married and he brought me to England,

I was so proud of this country,

he was proud even of the rain.

How long were you together?

Almost 12 years.

Mr. Clive was one of your first customers.

That was when Arthur opened his office.

I would have had a wonderful career.

Better I do not keep talking about that.

Tell me

There is not much to tell. He was a good man.

Comprehensive and sweet. A little irritable at times.

- Are you happy? - Yes.

A pleasant and warm happiness.

I did not know how much until I lost it.

He died in his office.

There was no warning.

His heart stopped and he died.

I remember when he left that morning

I looked out the window and told him that I bought wine because we had a visit.

It's strange ... when life it is snatched that way.

It is not only the one who dies, the other dies too.

I died at the moment when I received that call.

It will take a long time to recover. It was completely destroyed.

I felt like a vegetable.

If it had not been for Janie ...

and the responsibility of being a mother, I do not know what I would have done.

"There is no time to grieve, just to live. "

It stopped raining.

- Let's walk a little, will you? - Yes.

Those painful memories more They have made you sad.

A bit.

- Jim, it was not my intention. - Everything is fine.

You will ask about my memories, right?

I will not deny it.

I know Clive told you about me.

- Only some things from your past. - Was it enough for you?

It was enough, yes.

Please, do not tell me now. Only when they are only last for you.

You do not realize that anything else Does it matter at this time?

You know, this has been the night more pleasant in a long time.

And that is all that matters now.

Is not it true?

We must return home.

Well, thank you, Jim.

When will I see you again?

Will you come to my house next time?

I do not want to leave Janie alone again.

Today I left her with the neighbor to be able to go out with you.

Janie loves to visit us.

What do you think of Friday? She does not he has to go to school on Saturday.

I talk about dinner.

- Can not you? - Yes.

Friday is perfect.

Good, good night, Jim.

Goodnight.

His crime is despicable.

- No! - It's a sin ... a capital sin.

I could not help it!

Despicably vile!

I did not want to, cr anme, please!

- Jim! - Please!

Jim, wake up!

Poor boy, were you having a nightmare!

- I am sorry. - Do you want me to bring you something, Jim?

No, nothing, I'm fine.

What was it?

Tell me Does it have to do with work?

- I do not remember. - You know you can tell me.

- I do not remember. - Then, try to sleep.

- I'll be quiet here by your side. - Please, I'm fine!

Now I feel good. It does not have to be revealed.

I will be fine.

Oh, Jim!

Good night dear.

Good evening, Gertrude.

You have everything clear Now, Jim?

It was a long time since you were sick when you met Ellen.

And, as you grow older, after the war, the disease worsened.

You had a natural and normal impulse to find a woman to live with

and that impulse began to torment you

making adult women they were unacceptable.

They demanded things, they became in a threat to you.

You were terrified of what might happen.

Then, when you left the job, you started to wander.

You were very unfit to work.

You were looking for something. Do you understand, Jim?

And, knowing it or not, you were looking for a answer for your physical problem.

You started looking for girls more and more young.

So young that they had no experience one that will challenge you.

What I'm trying to tell you, Jim, is that finally your illness got worse.

And everything that you eventually did They were symptoms of your illness.

Nothing more and nothing less.

You did not happen by chance for that one playground, it was inevitable.

That's what you were looking for, that's why you came back again and again.

You did not ask why did not you know?

Everything you felt was a great pressure inside you to release.

- What did you say to them, Jim? - I do not remember.

- Come on, man! - Please, Cole!

You pick them up after school, you bought them sweets insinuating ...

No, Akers!

D a day after day, three days in a row and you had no idea?

You had to get rid of the other one, did not you?

- You had to mess it up somehow. - I did what Patricia suggested.

She told us we were ahead of time. It was not me, it was Patricia!

You say a 10-year-old girl arranged everything to be alone with you?

Wait, wait, guys. Just as clarification ...

... a small one, even that age, It can be seductive.

Usually it is not conscious, but it is there.

But you proposed the ride, right?

I did not do it! It was she who suggested we would have a ride in the car!

- Was it her? - I already said it! I swear before God!

It is getting dark. I do not know where we are going.

Let's go back

Help me

Keep me!

Please, they have to help me!

Why did you say that, Jim?

Why did you want to be locked up?

I had to do it, I was sick.

He had a conscience. That night He began to help himself.

At the last moment in the car, when control your impulse ...

... it was his first step towards healing.

That's what his defense in the trial was based on.

He wanted to be in prison and asked for help.

Do you understand that, Jim? Do you understand what happened?

Tell me, Jim, do you understand?

These are the advertising contracts that we have had. They are still valid.

- You look tired today. - Do not.

I had no idea that you existed until the day before you arrived.

I did not even know that you presented yourself to interview You did not, right?

No, a friend put me in touch with Mr. Clive.

I see, a business friend?

- Anyone that I know? - No, only a friend of Mr. Clive's.

What's with the staff of publicity, Mr. Milne?

Oh, yes ... here we have it.

Background, current employees, assignments to daily tasks.

- I had a nightmare a few nights ago. - The same?

With some variations but basically the same.

Amusement park, Patricia, the judge.

Nothing you could not handle.

Do not.

You'll see Miss Leighton morning at night.

You were guessing, right? What else could I do at night?

- Have you been with her recently? - A few nights ago.

- How did it go? - All right.

She is a wonderful woman, do not you think?

Let's not get ahead, doctor.

Ego, sex, opportunity ...

Mix all that and you'll have "the poet's dream"

Love.

That sounds pretty clinical coming of a man who is going to get married.

Well, I still think that marriage It is the best thing that can happen to us.

- How does she feel? - I could not know.

You realize that 3 years ago Would you be terrified?

You still feel a little scared, Is that it?

- What makes you think that? - The nightmare, for example.

She has a daughter, more or less than 10 years.

- It scares you a bit, is not it? - But I see that I do.

You know how to handle it, is not it?

Yes, doctor, everything was very clear during therapy.

Most of the crimes are the result of behavior problems

caused by conflicts that the Normal people can control.

If not, people They act like I did.

When one understands the conflict, well ...

You reason like a normal person.

And, on the surface, I can work normally

What you do not seem to understand is that, inside,

Half of the time, I'm shaking like a leaf.

It all happens to us from time to time

and that's something that, apparently, you do not understand.

Except that in my case it has to be that precise moment,

that test that says yes really I'm cured or not.

"Cured" is not the word, nobody heals from his internal conflicts,

those are always there.

A man is fine when he understands them and learn to manage them.

And anyone who says otherwise He is a frustrated liar.

Yes, doctor, I know.

What I'm saying, Jimmy, it's ...

I do not want you to exaggerate your doubts.

My date with Ruth is tomorrow night in his house.

Do you understand now?

- Ir s? - You suggest I do it?

- I do not suggest anything. - Sure, it's my problem, is not it?

Solve it t .

So you get away, doctor.

It is one of the advantages of this profession.

Very thankful.

It smells divinely, what is it?

- Jim! - Look at it, everything clean and perfumed.

There's enough for you too, Jim.

No, thank you, I have an invitation.

Do not you know, mam? Jim has a girlfriend.

Is that true, Jim?

Someone who has been watching a lot lately.

- Do you like the girl? - I think.

I hope you're very happy, Jim.

It is still very early, I almost do not know the girl.

- Good evening, Arnold. - Good evening, Jim.

I'm sure he'll soon want to get married, mam .

Shut up, Arnold.

- Mr. Fuller, you're James Fuller, are not you? - Yes.

Division of Detectives, Do you want to accompany us, please?

Why?

We want to talk to you at the police station.

Come please.

- What do you want to talk to me about? - We do not know, Mr. Fuller.

- I'd like to make a phone call. - Your lawyer?

To the place where they wait for me.

I'm sorry, only your lawyer until he is interrogated.

What's up? About what Do you want to interrogate me?

I'm sorry, I'll have to wait.

- James Fuller? - Yes.

Previously, James Fontaine, correct?

Yes.

Sit down, Fuller.

I'm sorry you had to wait but it was inevitable.

We had to check some things.

- Do you have any idea why? - No, but I'd like to know.

Know a girl called Louise Spreenger?

Are you sure? He is about 11 years old.

A very pretty girl.

No, I do not know her.

- Were you on Princess Lane today? - Do not.

Have you ever been there?

I've been there once or twice.

- But not today. - No, not today.

We will tell you what we know and you He will tell us what he knows.

There is a small forest on Princess Lane, a pretty desert place.

Someone took little Louise yesterday,

shortly after 3 o'clock, coming back from school ...

and violated it criminally and brutally.

The little one died and that makes the rape in murder.

- Look, I do not know ... - There is evidence from some witnesses.

They saw a man of his stature wearing a blue suit like yours.

- I do not know about that! - Sure?

What makes you think otherwise?

That should be obvious, Fuller.

Why does not he tell us Where was he that afternoon?

- I was in my office. - Can you try that?

Yes, the receptionist would have seen me if I had left.

- Clive companies, correct? - Yes.

Wait a moment, you say that was short after 3 ...

... at 3 and 15 I was with Mr. Clive.

What is Clive's first name?

- Do not you know? - Andrew.

And the address?

I do not know, just I've seen him at work.

We will talk to you again.

Can I make a call first?

I'm sorry, not yet.

Mr. Fuller is free to leave.

You're lucky, Mr. Fuller.

- The only thing I can say is ... - Does not matter.

I'm sorry, do you understand?

I understand perfectly.

- Excuse me, can we talk for a moment? - I am sorry.

Do you have any information about the case?

No, go, will you?

Fontaine!

I'd like to speak with you, Mr. Fontaine.

My name is Fuller.

Yes, I understand.

My name is Austin. You will not remember me ... but ...

... I covered his trial in London.

It seems that it has happened a long time, right?

I know they have questioned him about this rape case ...

- ... and that you are clean. - That's right, I'm clean.

I'm glad. I knew it would be like that.

In any case, there must be had a hard time

- Sure would come a drink. - Sorry, I have to make a call.

There is a phone in the bar crossing the street.

He must be hungry, the dinner hour has passed.

Ruth, when I was going to your house the police stopped me.

Why?

Nothing of importance, something about my conditional

But I could not call until they released me.

You're fine, are not you?

Yes, of course, but I ruined your dinner.

Do not worry about it. Did you eat something?

- Well, no. - I could warm something for you.

No, thank you, Ruth. I't's too late.

I'll eat a sandwich and I will go home.

As you prefer, Jim.

Good evening, Ruth.

Goodnight.

- Complications? - Nothing unusual.

- I thought you'd like to eat something. - Thank you.

I asked myself why you did not try defend yourself during the trial.

You seemed so confused.

- I was sick. - Extraordinary

Know that you were sick and, even So, insist that they lock you up.

- I know you've been in therapy. - Yes.

- I also know that the opinion ... - I'm fine now.

I'm glad.

New name, another beginning ...

- O you're working. - Yes.

Very good.

What world is this ... I was thinking in the case of this afternoon.

They must have treated you in another way.

- That's not how it works, sir ... - Austin.

Do you work in a newspaper here?

A little more than a year ago. In London there are more opportunities.

What did you mean by that? Is not that how it works?

I was referring to the way a man is treated after committing a crime.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm really tired.

I would like to go back to talk to you, Fontaine.

- Fuller. - I am sorry.

- Where do you live now? - I pay.

- No no no no. - Good evening, Austin.

Good evening, Fuller.

Good luck.

Oh, Jim ... I thought it was Gertrude.

- You came back very early. - Yes, it was just a dinner.

I have work to do.

We could go to the bar for a while.

Not tonight, Arnold.

VÉCTIMA OF SEXUAL CRIME DIES

Oh, yeah, you're talking about this, Jim. Another of those sexual crimes.

Gertrude does not want buy this newspaper.

He says they only print garbage.

There is everything here ... she was only 11 years old.

It's awful.

- Do you want to read it? - No, thanks, Arnold. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

- I had to know if you were okay. - I was going to see you now.

Can you go tonight, Jim?

- Yes ... - But...

Given the circumstances, why? you better not put a store or something?

Of course not, I think I'm going to take a chance.

At 7 o'clock?

All right.

- Are you Mr. Fuller? - You must be Janie.

It's me, come in, please.

- Hang your coat, Mr. Fuller. - Thank you.

Pass.

Sit down, please.

It is the most comfortable place.

Thank you.

Mam will come down right away, it's a little behind.

- Do you want a glass of sherry? - Yes, it would be good for me.

Thank you very much.

- I'll serve it. - No, please, let me do it.

Thank you.

Try it.

It's very good

Mam says that you too work with Mr. Clive.

Yes, that's where your mom and I met.

I know We expect it on Friday long time.

Please, do not tell mam I said that.

Why not, Janie?

I promised him I would not say it.

It's fine.

She did not explain to you, did she?

He said you got confused in day.

That's it, very simple and very stupid from my part.

But, please, do not tell him I told him.

I will not, I promise.

- Well, good evening. - Goodnight.

- Nice to see you, Jim. - Thank you.

What are you laughing at when I came in?

It's a little bit complicated.

Oh, I see, Janie treated you well?

- Mr. Fuller liked the sherry. - Very well, thank you, dear.

- Are you hungry? - Yes, a lot.

Better because it will serve in a moment. Excuse me?

Janie, take Mr. Fuller to the dining room.

Over here, Mr. Fuller.

But you will have already noticed.

The food is very good, Mr. Fuller.

Excellent.

Thank you very much to both of you.

Really, the only thing I had time to prepare was fish.

It's not just fish, mam

That's what I was going to say ... I have sauce of ar ndano and parmesan cheese.

- It's a French recipe. - As is.

Mam has all the books of the world.

All right, everything is very clear ... in the books.

Do you see it? Friday night, mam cocina ...

What, Janie?

What did I miss on Friday night?

Chicken fricas .

Well, I deserve it.

I do not know how I could confuse myself in a day.

In any case, there could not be been better than this fish.

It's been a long time since I collect them.

He probably does not like them the printed flowers, Janie.

I like them.

It is very entertaining, I like it more than everything.

I come back in 2 minutes and that's the Same time you have, Janie.

They are ,stas, I have not been able to find out his name still.

He is not watching them.

They are beautiful and they are very well printed.

These are African but I forgot the name.

I do not remember either.

Wait!

A tricket of 4 leaves, I found it myself.

Secure?

Clear.

This one I forgot.

It is a "cuckoo flower."

- You do like flowers ... - I've learned a lot from them.

- I'll want to say about them. - No, of them.

- What do you mean? - Well, let's look at this common violet.

You have two of them and you would say which are exactly the same

They are.

No, if you examine them carefully with the help of a magnifying glass

you will see that there are several differences in the way they are made.

In millions of years, nature never He has done two things exactly the same.

Nobody like you has ever existed before.

You are unique.

- Then, you too. - Yes.

And if you know someone very well

You'll know what's different.

And if you like those differences, Sometimes you get to love them.

I'm afraid that's a little complicated.

- Can you explain it to me again, please? - Not tonight, Janie.

- It's almost nine. - Oh, mam .

I know, my dear, I'm sorry to interrupt but if you remember where they were

t and Mr. Fuller can continue with the topic next time.

- Good evening, Mr. Fuller. - Good evening, Janie.

- Will you visit us again? - I hope so.

- Will you go up, mam? - Yes, right away.

Prepare to sleep.

- Are you exhausted? - No way.

I'm exhausted.

That little speech about of your confusion with the days ...

How did you know that sa was the explanation I gave to Janie?

Was it sa?

She told you and then she forced you to keep the secret.

I have nothing to say.

I'll be right back.

It may seem like I'm too busy but it is not so difficult.

I have a secret weapon, Mrs. Connors. She cooks, she cleans ...

... deals with Janie's clothes. I supervise but on the fly.

It is admirable, the things that women They can control on the fly.

- S ? - This house...

Admirable?

- For me. - Why?

For what I felt the first time I entered here.

And what was it?

I can not explain it.

Exactly ... well, this is the first home I've been.

The first home? Is that true?

Yes.

- You had a home as a child. - This is still the first one.

Do we do more coffee?

No, thank you, Ruth. It's already quite late.

Another little time, Jim.

From the other day I wonder why I had to spend the night talking about me.

Surely he was doing a lot time I needed to do it.

And with you I felt comfortable.

You do not always find someone willing to listen to others.

That's what I felt ... I mean, someone who felt safe ...

Jim, please, do not get me wrong, by saying "sure" ...

I do not want to say... what I try to explain ...

I ... I think you better go home.

I've had a wonderful night

Do you know? ... the last thing that Janie He told me it was ...

"We can invite Mr. Fuller to have dinner again soon? "

So you see, today you did a great conquest.

Now you know that you are welcome.

Thank you.

Really, Jim, if this is the home that you like ...

is yours, in some way,

when you want it to be.

- Goodnight. - Good evening, Jim.

Then, at some point I understand that he did not have to fear Janie.

She was a girl, I looked at her as such and nothing more.

Obviously, now I can see things with perspective.

And with perspective I want to say

that I realize what it was that I worried before arriving at the house.

- Does that make sense? - The human mind...

What more fabulous machinery!

It was Monday night when I saw Ruth.

On Friday I could not get there because the police stopped me, did you know?

- For the case of the girl raped? - Yes.

They kept me almost 3 hours.

Ruth was waiting for me but they did not allow me to call.

That was the worst?

That and their anxiety to blame me.

Is that how it's going to be, doctor?

They're going to drag me to the police station ...?

Come on, come on, Jimmy, Jimmy.

Remember that I know how started everything ...

You too, but the police ... for them it does not work like that.

They think that if you acted wrong you can do it again

When something happens ...

I had to tell Ruth they stopped me.

I told him that a problem with my conditional

I did not talk about the suspicion.

She still does not know.

The first time we went out and she I spoke of Janie, I wanted to tell her.

- Why did not you do it? - It takes courage, doctor.

Anyway, she stopped me.

He said he was interested as I was I am now, not what was left in the past.

I guess I wanted to think that she was right.

After all, I still was not sure of what he felt for her.

- Are you now? - There are things that are not clear yet.

I'm really in love or do I try to prove something to myself?

Like I did when he forced me to stand up in front of the amusement park.

A proof that I can have a Normal relationship, that's what I need.

And she wants to know me as I am.

But once I tell you, Can we find out if it is possible?

I mean, will I normally follow?

And, above all, there's Janie. She should know.

The question is exactly when.

Any suggestion, doctor?

I'm afraid not.

Is my judgment good enough?

It has to be, do not you think?

Very grateful, doctor.

- By the way, I'm being honest. - That's a bit annoying.

You'd like to go out tonight to take a walk?

And to you?

Do not.

But we are very close here. I can send Janie with Margaret.

I like being locked up. I think we better stay.

Mommy! Here is something interesting.

- What is it, dear? - Do you remember the fair last year?

- Yes. - Will come again.

Wow, it's interesting.

The last time I could not go, I was with the flu.

Yes, I remember it.

When you were a kid, Jim ... Did you ever go to a fair?

Sometimes.

I think I would like to go.

- Why do not we all go? - Wonderful! Would you like it, mam?

I would love it.

What good it was that I read it.

Really, Jim ... I'm going to have to fire you.

You do not think it would be nice a walk this weekend?

I'm serious, would you like it?

A long walk, maybe All weekend.

Do you think you could do it?

- Why not? - Maybe you worry Janie.

She is not used to changes.

We'll have to explain it but ... What do we plan?

It's fine.

I thought it would never come.

I'm exhausted.

But it was worth it.

My feet hurt but ...

- ...I do not care. - The best thing is that you get in bed.

- Not yet. - Do what I say.

Now give me good night as a good girl.

Jim, what time should we leave tomorrow? to get around 6?

More or less at 3 in the afternoon.

Let's get up early and make the most of the day as much as we can.

- At 7? - All right.

I will call you.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

It's already 6 o'clock, Janie must have Margaret on the verge of madness.

You do not have to take me to the house, I can go walking.

I want to do it.

So I can say goodbye to you inside the car.

- We'll see you tomorrow. - Yes.

It consoles me. Come on, Jim.

Hello, Fuller. It's good to see you again.

Hi.

It is a coincidence. Are you a tourist too?

Yes.

- Ruth, this is Mr. Austin. - How is it?

- How are you, miss ...? - Leighton.

Miss Leighton.

- They went to the field? - Yes.

- Very far? - Up to the falls.

It's a long trip to do it in a day.

- We arrived yesterday. - Disclpeople, but we're in a hurry.

Adi s, Mr. Austin.

Nice to meet you, Miss Leighton.

- I hope he's not very close to you. - Do not.

I could not help it, your curiosity It is so obvious.

I'm very happy, I wanted someone to know.

Even him.

Hurry.

- You had a good trip, Jim? - Wonderful thanks.

- Did you like the company? - Arnold!

- Do you want to have dinner with us, Jim? - No thanks.

Chop something before going to sleep.

- Jim, this girl you've met ... - The Miss, Leighton?

- Miss? - She's a widow, Gertrude.

Oh, we would love to meet you at some point.

- If you're not ashamed of us. - Of course you will know her very soon.

I promise.

I'll save you something to eat.

- Hello. - Hello.

I have been told that I am careless. What do you think?

It seems that you are working very well to solve that problem, doctor.

Go, today we are for jokes.

What happened to you? in such a good mood?

Have you ever been in the Lake District?

Its beautiful.

- How did it go? - I just told you.

I know, but you did not go to the Lakes only to contemplate them.

- I did very well. - Without problems?

All good then.

Now you reminded me of a guy that I know called Akers.

I'm sorry, Jimmy, I just wanted to know if you have any plan

- None specific, why? - I was just asking.

Out of curiosity, it's everything.

By the way, there's something I want to tell you.

Hazel and I will have a party of commitment in a few weeks,

and we would like you to be

Thank you.

How do you think I'll get married?

You will have to find your own answers, doctor.

I would like good judgment will help me with this problem.

- And what would help you? - Instinct and prayer.

I guess your instincts are good, Is not that so?

Yes.

Except that sometimes we do not know which means "good".

At least it does not mean that are sickly

Since you mention it, I've noticed something amazing.

When someone who has been sick begins to improve ...

he has better instincts in many ways

than someone who has never fallen ill.

Immunity.

Maybe, I never saw him from that point of view.

The most likely is an internal knowledge,

the conviction that he has hit bottom

and no matter what happens, it will never be- as bad as it already was.

It's probably a way refusal to see it, but ...

Well, sometimes I would like it that the people of this city

they will behave better

- Caf tonight? - Yes.

Thank you Doctor.

Come in, Jim.

Milne gave me this yesterday.

He proposes a new distribution.

He says that the work belongs to you two. Sit, Jim.

I really appreciate the interest what have you taken?

It is a really admirable work.

I tried to locate you last night by phone.

I'm sorry, I was outside.

At Ruth's, right?

Yes.

Mrs. Cartwright told me that you were probably there.

I ... I do not want to intrude, Jim.

Ruth has had very difficult times. You must already know.

There's something I think I should tell you before.

A few days ago, the police called me to know where you were on a given day.

I'm sorry, I did not want to be disturbed.

Tonter as, you do not have to why apologize

The fact is that I hate to see that they are harassing to a man that way.

Jim, I believe in hunches.

And I had one about you the first You said you entered through that door.

And the way you've done this Work has confirmed it to me.

To take this plan to a de facto way You need someone very competent.

I want you to work with me as my personal assistant

and as a man of executive authority.

- Are you willing? - Yes.

Of course, there's Milne.

Sooner or later I'll have to know that you replaced it

I do not know how to explain that to a man who has worked with me so many years

Well, it's not your problem.

Suppose you take a break,

you start thinking about the first steps you want to take

and we'll talk later.

- Is it okay? - Yes.

Ah, Jim, about salary with which you started ...

let me take care of of that, right?

Thanks, Mr. Clive.

With executive authority ...

I am very impressed.

That will change things between us.

Well, you can not see me drying dishes again.

Naturally.

Jim, we have to celebrate somehow.

Yes, but there's Saturday's fair.

- That will be enough to start. - I have an idea.

Go with Janie and I will stay at home to make a special meal.

- No, I do not like that. - Jim, please.

That is the way in which I like to celebrate it.

One more turn and then we go, What do you think, Jim?

It is very good.

- You like everything, right? - Completely.

I love you, Jim.

I love you too, Janie.

You would have died of laughter when Janie shouted:

"This can not bother you, Jim, says mam that you were a sailor. "

I said: "Yes, but right now I would like to be on the ground. "

This is much better than the popcorn we ate.

Yes.

Only that I would like it too be on the ground now.

- Do you feel bad, Janie? - Excuse me?

- Come, I'll take you to bed. - Good evening, Jim.

Good evening, Janie.

Now I know you better.

Not only the virtues, but also the weaknesses and you have some.

- I have them? - Yes.

You are very good and decent ...

but sometimes I feel insecure.

And there's something about me I know very well.

I would like not to be afraid to love someone again and not feel guilty.

You're more than that,

but I want to be sure of I did not act because I was not alone.

I'm sorry, Jim.

Why?

- Because it's not your fault. - Y?

To start, I make you say things that you do not really feel

Ruth, listen.

I love you very much.

- You see? - You know that.

Not until I got the words out.

- Did you hurt? - Do not.

- Mam ! ... mam ! - I'm coming, dear!

- At what time! Do you wait? - No, I think you better stay with her.

It's getting late.

- I am sorry. - Oh, please!

Mam , stand up!

I'm coming, dear!

He got up well this morning. He left for school.

I'm waiting for you tonight. At 7, dear?

Or earlier? Come before, if you can.

Yes, Ruth, goodbye.

- Sorry, Jim, do you have a minute? - Sure, Roy, come in.

I was with Andrew this weekend. I guess you know about his plans.

I think.

I knew something was happening when He called me at his office.

- I've known him for a while now. - I'm sorry, Roy.

You feel ... you're always so damn right!

Why do not you say what you feel ?! Why do not you say you're happy ...?!

I ... I ... I do not know what I'm saying.

Does leaving make any difference?

No, I suppose not.

Only that is not easy.

Anyway, you have a good future here, Jim.

I wish you luck. I say it from the heart.

Thanks, Roy.

What happens?

What's up, Gertrude?

SEXUAL CRIMINAL AND HER FRIEND

Is not true.

No, well listen to this.

"The photo on the first page shows James Fontaine, aka James Fuller ...

convicted of kidnapping a girl of nine years named Patricia

- Arnold! - the one who violated. "

"He was released afterwards to serve a sentence of 3 years ".

"How can you use this sexual psychopath ...

... your freedom to Do what we show? "

"The photograph was taken last Saturday at the fair. "

"He was accompanied by that girl for more than an hour. "

"I bought her ice cream and accompanied her to assemble some devices. "

"One of these devices is operated with so much violence

that can scare a girl so much as to embrace his companion. "

Arnold ...

"Fontaine was questioned about the case unresolved of rape and murder

from the 11-year-old Louis Spreenger, "

Jim, I want to ask you a question.

- You say it's not true. - That photo...

- But 3 years ago ... - Of course it's true!

This is you, Fontaine, 3 years ago?

Take a good look! ... Of course it's true, the newspapers do not lie.

se s !

Publica trash!

I've told you a thousand times that you did not bring it here!

I knew that I had seen him in some part! This is what I saw!

Jim, your real name is Fontaine?

I've been questioning him! Of course it's him!

First the little one in London and now ...!

C llate! Go to the kitchen! I want to talk to Jim.

- I'm not going to leave you here ... - I told you to go to the kitchen.

Well, mam , but I do not want it in my house Another night, we are decent people!

It can not be under this roof after that he has taken a little girl ...!

Jim, did not you escape from prison?

They released me, I'm on probation.

- But, how could they ...? - At the recommendation of the doctor.

Everyone agreed that I was fine.

- Well? - I was sick, Gertrude.

I did not understand what he was doing.

But, how could you do something like that?

- I'm trying to explain to you! - They say you tried to do it.

- You really did not. - No!

- But you kidnapped that poor girl! - Gertrude!

Imagine your terror!

How would you feel? for the rest of his life?

I'm with that, Gertrude, thousands of times!

The nightmare that I had the night that you entered my room ...

And ... Miss Leighton?

- How will you feel when you see the picture? - Show me!

The little one in the photo is her daughter, I only took her ...

Your daughter!

Please, leave this house.

Take all your stuff ... and leave.

The Northern Reporter.

I'd like to speak with Mr. Austin.

Here, Austin.

I'm Jim Fuller.

What do you want Fontaine?

You wrote that story about me, right?

- Yes. - Why?

I am a journalist, Fontaine.

It was something dirty and low.

I'm sorry you see it like this ...

So, why did you do it?

Look, I do not owe you explanations but I will tell you.

Since the night that I found you in the police station, I was interested in you.

I wanted to write an honest story about you.

Honest?

I wanted to know how a psychopath works sexual when they release him.

When I saw you that day with Miss Leighton asked me

- ... how was it that you liked girls? - Damn!

You want me to hang up, Fontaine, or do you want to listen to me?

I did not think you liked a woman like that,

Then I found out where I lived. I watched the house ...

especially, on weekends.

And, on the first weekend, I already knew what you were up to.

What do you mean?

Fontaine, knew that sooner or later You would go out alone with the little one.

Show me, Austin! I am going to sue to you and your newspaper!

We already have a few demands earrings and I'll tell you one thing ...

very few of them prosper legally.

- Mother will do it! - What do you think?

You have a history of seduction of minors,

You were questioned in the Spreenger case.

- But last Saturday ...! - You were with the girl Leighton, right?

Taking her by the hand, buying ice cream.

Wretched!

No, no, Fontaine. Thus, a psychopath should not act.

If you did not want to go out in the newspapers You should have kept clean.

Get away from the children.

I never thought you could, Now I know not.

- Listen! - That's what I do, Fontaine.

- I want you to ...! - What do you want?

I do not know.

Yes, Mr. Smith.

Room 23.

Number, please.

Sign me with Wellington 2184.

Sorry, sir, they do not answer.

Let it ring, there must be someone.

I'm sorry, sir, I want you I'll try again?

Yes, try it in a little while.

S ?

Nobody answers, sir.

What time did you try?

At 11:15. I can follow Trying if you want.

No, tell him.

- Good morning, Mr. Fuller. - Good morning, Inez.

Good morning

I was not sure you were coming.

There is no reason not to do it.

- I'm not going to beat around the bush, Jim. - Very good.

I was surprised the news last night, although It was this morning when I saw the newspaper.

I hate that dirty game.

It was Milne who called me and really I almost could not sleep last night.

I did not sleep much either.

It is hateful the way they persecute a man, they hunt him to death.

- I'm still not dead. - Jim, can you tell me something?

Why did you bring Janie? to that fair?

Is there a reason why you should not?

- That's not what I said. - Ruth asked me.

She wanted to make a meal and We had promised Janie that we would go.

Imagine something like that.

- Mr. Clive ... - The day the police called me ...

- ... Was it because of the Spreenger case? - Yes.

- You must have had a very bad time. - Mr. Clive, you said it would be direct.

I've taken a liking to you, Jim, you know.

He's going to fire me, is that it?

It sounds brutal but there is no remedy.

- That's the way things are. - That disgusting newspaper!

I never read it but there thousands of people who do it.

They mentioned I work here, of course.

The bases of this organization are, essentially, public relations.

I understand it perfectly.

- Really? - Yes.

He wants me to leave immediately, I suppose.

I'm in contact with organizations of all kinds throughout the country.

I would like to help you start over.

- Will you allow it? - Thank you.

Jim, here I have a check with the pay of 2 months, it's the work you already did.

Accept it, please.

- Do you want to discuss something about the report? - No, Jim, it's not necessary.

I see. If you do not mind, I'd like it Wait for Ruth to arrive.

She will not come today. He called me early.

Adi s, Mr. Clive.

Adi s, Jim.

Come in, quickly!

By God, Jim!

- Jim! - Ruth!

- You look exhausted. - You too.

Let's go to the kitchen, I'll make you a coffee.

I spent the whole night waiting for you to come.

- What came here? - Yes, why did not you do it?

I called you until after 11.

- You were here? - Let me explain, Jim.

When he returned home from the office after 6 o'clock,

The reporters started calling.

They wanted me to make statements, I said where you were.

They were talking about the Northern Reporter

and I did not have the slightest idea about what they say.

It was Margaret who gave me the newspaper,

her husband brought him home.

They called again and again with questions Intimate about you, about Janie and me,

it was so terrible that I decided not to answer.

When I realized that you were not coming and what could you be calling me

I could not.

And Janie?

I sent her with Margaret, I spent the night there.

I thought I had to go to the office.

Jim, I do not understand.

Why did the reporters call Janie's name was not mentioned?

Austin must have told him.

The man we met in the bar?

You must have called other newspapers to follow the game.

Jim, why did not you come?

I do not know.

I'm tired, Ruth.

Did you go to the office?

- I spoke with Clive. - He told me.

He was very angry.

- He told you he'd fire me? - Do not.

Did.

You were brave to go there.

- It's harder for me to come here. - See me?

I wanted to tell you.

- I know what happened. - Not just the other night, much earlier.

- It was my fault. - No, nothing like that.

- Now in this damn way ...! - It does not matter, Jim.

Do you say it does not matter? Ruth, what we could have and that was possible ...

but now ... in this way ...

And what do you say about Janie?

Janie does not know anything and there's no reason so that he will ever know.

Ruth, maybe if we were just t and I ...

but Margaret and her husband ... What do they say?

- You can not even tell me. - Margaret tried to understand.

But he could not.

Children on the street they must be protected.

Mam !

- Jim! - Janie, no!

Margaret told me to come see if my lunch was ready.

Not yet, Janie.

Why do not you go with Margaret and do you expect me to call you?

Could you do that, Janie?

Yes, Jim.

Say it, Jim.

Hi.

What time is it?

Listen out.

Both.

Do you think they sound for me, doctor?

It's very early in the morning Become an intellectual

- Sit down. - How can you sleep with so much coffee?

Your fault.

Sounds funny.

I must admit that I was worried for you but not anymore.

I see that you are also one of my admirers

Claudette, the other department, He told me everything.

It seems that a reporter from one of I called the newspapers.

He said he wanted to publish the news from another angle.

I even suggested that it would help you get an interview

with your newspaper that handled the case with compassion and moderation.

Compassion and moderation.

This guy had the courage to say what he thought would be good

if you made a declaration imploring Spreenger's killer to be delivered.

From one sexual criminal to another, you know.

He also said that they would make it very clear that you had reformed.

Reformed.

It would be good publicity.

Stop with that.

Now, is that Ruth's daughter?

What was happening between you two when did they take the picture?

I was preparing to rape her in the carousel.

I'm sorry, I deserve that answer, but you know what I mean.

Good...

that picture was taken right after that she told me she loved me.

And I realized for the first time that I felt full,

and that feeling was very beautiful.

You've been here all this time waiting for me, doctor?

What do you think?

Without a doubt...

Jim, tranquil zate, come on, recover.

That's.

Take, drink this.

It does not matter that it's not in a glass, It's good whiskey, b belo.

Another drink

Enough, do not go to get drunk.

- Better? - Yes.

- Did you eat anything today? - I'm not hungry.

I'm an imbecile, a sick imbecile.

I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but you are nothing of that.

I had not cried like that since ... the first day in prison.

Do not be embarrassed, that always soothes the soul.

I called Clive, it's a human rat.

That is not true.

Do not defend it.

It is not even the thousandth part of a human being.

I had to do it, do not you see it?

I do not see it and when are you going to start? to return the blows!

It's easy for you to say, doctor.

I guess I do.

But Jimmy, why did not you come before?

Why did not you come this morning or last night?

I do not know.

I have spent most of the time walking in circles.

- Trying to escape from people. - Pretty hard.

Yes.

I could not get anywhere.

One of the horrors of the modern city.

- Do you have a cigarette? - The ones I usually smoke.

But how do you feel I suppose that you would smoke up to those.

Doctor, I made a decision.

I want to go back to prison or to a hospital.

- Why? - You know.

I do not know, tell me.

Do not start using therapy games with me, not tonight.

Tell me why you want to return.

Because I'm sick and I'm not able to live with other people.

You want to say that people They are afraid of having you living with them.

- What is the difference? - There is and very large.

Believe me, if I thought there the least danger ...

There is.

- Jimmy, you're upset and rightly ... - Doctor, I want to go back.

This girl, Ruth ... What happened to her?

I see.

- Are you going to send me back? - Do not.

What do I have to do? Fing?

- You could not pretend if you wanted to. - Doctor, please.

James, people have strange ideas about mental illness.

Your education about that is that of the Middle Ages ...

Doctor, do you want me to educate them?

You want me to live in hell just to be able to rub your hands,

and tell me that I have made some progress?

Sit, Jim.

Well, you're right.

I am strictly treating you like a friend.

Friend!

Yes, friend, not a nickname, nor a patient or someone who is under the word.

A friend.

Not someone with whom you have a drink and you pat him on the back.

But I feel that if I I was really in danger,

You would do the impossible to help me.

Would you do it?

- You know what I know. - You see?

Well, you're in trouble now, it's not your fault and that makes it difficult,

that's why I have to speak to you clearly.

When it's over, if you want ...

I will make sure that you enter in a psychiatric hospital.

- Do you think it's fair? - A lot.

First, you know you can take a normal life now.

Ruth and her daughter, or better, you checked that with the help of them.

I do not want to talk about that.

You did it once, You can do it again.

But if you want to do it, you have to start now

because if you enter an institution you will surrender ... slowly but it will be so.

Instead, I should go there posing for pictures of newspapers.

Do you want to stop?

If you want to feel sorry for you, I'm not the one.

Jim, do not you see it was an accident that that imbecile journalist will find you?

But it could happen again!

Of course, it could happen again and you can be run over by a car,

and you can drown in the bathtub but the possibilities are minimal!

- I'm tired, Doc. - Jimmy, you can start over.

Here, if you wish.

Or maybe in another city. That can be solved.

And sit in a corner to wait for another bomb to explode.

That is a risk that you have to run.

It's that or the slow deterioration in some psychiatric hospital.

- I ... I do not know. - I know.

I know, Jimmy.

There is something more to finish.

Something you already know very well.

I can help you, but I can not solve your problems for you

It depends on you.

What do you decide, Jim?

I guess you win, doctor.

I think you put it backwards, my friend.

You want to say that you win.

Hi Jim.

Hello Ruth.

Do you want to go?

- I'm sorry I surprised you so. - Does not matter.

I was afraid that if I wrote you ...

I was sure I would find you If I came to a Saturday ...

- Do you want something to drink? - No thanks.

- You've taken a very long trip. - We made several stops.

It is a nice apartment.

What I like the most is that it is independent, nobody bothers me.

I understand.

How did you know where I live?

By Dr. McNally.

- Did Clive tell you about him? - Yes.

- I've seen it several times. - A McNally?

- Do you feel good, Jim? - Everything is fine.

Clive helped me a lot but I guess you know that.

He knew you would not want him to come.

- It was very kind of you. - Do you think I came for that?

- Please, Ruth. - I do not blame you.

Whatever the reason, please, do not regret it.

Just try to forget.

Do you think that someday you can forget?

Do you think I or Janie could?

She asked for you.

She asks for you all the time.

I'm sorry, Jim, I do not want to cry ...

All the way I came asking why things went so wrong.

- Please, Ruth. - Jim ...!

I lived those few weeks like a gift.

I would give my whole life because nothing I would have changed ...

You could not avoid what you did.

Dr. McNally tried to make me understand that.

I thought I did not want talk about Janie with him.

I was so embarrassed that ... I just wanted to forget.

The only thing I was looking for was that said that there was no possibility of anything.

He refused and I got furious with him.

Everything he told me It was that you were fine.

And he made me talk to him about Janie.

He forced me to tell him what happened, it made me admit ...

He can be cruel.

He did not think so at the beginning.

I guess you know him better than me.

In the end I noticed that the problem was more and that he could not solve it for me.

Jim ... Do you love me?

More than anything in the world.

You know.

Yes, but ... you could hug me and tell me again?

Oh, Jim!

Ruth, you have not thought about how it will be be with me.

I have done.

Anytime, some of these memories ...

While we are together...

And Janie?

I do not know, Jim.

I have to be honest. It will take time.

Maybe a long time, I would lie if I said otherwise.

In any case, there is time.

Long time.
