How's the water, my love?

It's OK...

Aren't you cold?

No.

All the better, 'cause you're not getting out until

you're as clean as a lady ought to be.

Let's wash this princess' armpit.

The other!

There you go.

What story would you like today?

Hansel and Gretel.

Again?

Hold on to the edge of the tub, love. Don't let go, eh?

Hello? Robert?

How did it go?

I was just...

What do you want me to say? I have it on my desk.

Hold on a sec.

Two million...

One and a half, the other half came from the French.

I don't understand What happened.

Yeah, right.

I'm sorry...

In Geneva.

I couldn't go.

No, I am not justifying myself.

I know the situation is serious.

I reviewed the reports several times and did not see anything unusual.

You cannot treat re like this after so many years working for you.

Of course.

Robert, listen!

Call you back in a minute.

Diana!

Hello, daddy!

What the hell are you doing?

She was cold.

Laura Belt ran Spain's new chess champion

THE LITTLE TYRANT

Nico?

Nico!

Nico!

He's not going to answer you.

Nico, darling, can't you hear me?

I was calling you.

Who's winning?

Come down to say goodbye to your father.

There you go.

Wanna play, eh?

There, go for the ball!

- Shall we make a move? - When this beauty gives me a kiss.

What time will you be back?

When you fall asleep.

I'm already asleep!

All right, sweetheart, ask Araceli to serve you dinner.

Another kiss.

Let's make a move.

- Bye, daddy... bye, mummy. - Bye, love.

Bye.

Nico, don't spend the whole evening playing chess!

This child is getting more sociable by the minute.

SON OF CAIN

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Excuse me, Madam,

did you come alone?

Shall we get a drink?

Indeed... I need one.

Wait, Robert's over there.

Let me go and greet him.

Help yourself Coral.

Carlos Albert...

The man who made me a millionaire!

Mr. Carlos Albert?

Yes, that's me.

Have we met before?

Well, not until now...

You sent me an e-mail with an invitation for the party.

Well, lam not really sure...

I don't send the invitations myself.

Sorry to insist. I'm Julio Belt, psychologist.

In the e-mail you said you wanted to meet me personally.

Sorry, but...

Well, this is my card.

You never know.

It's best you e-rail me at this address.

The one you used is an old one.

OK.

Thanks.

Dear friends...

You're welcome.

I will be brief...

...good night.

Seriously.

Thanks for coming tonight...

...to celebrate the fifth anniversary...

...of the Provincialism Foundation.

Provincialism has a very clear objective:

to help those who help.

We have already invested

forty million Euros in solidarity.

All this has been possible

thanks to one person,

a man capable

of uniting the efforts

of the twelve companies

that are Provincialism.

Please, let's give a warm hand to Carlos Albert!

You and I need to have a word.

I didn't think we'd be back so late.

You know Nico doesn't fall asleep until we get home.

I'm sorry.

I can't always be at Nico's beg and command.

How long's it been since you last talked to him?

I talk to Nico,

but he never answers.

Talking is not communicating, Carlos!

Our son doesn't utter anything but monosyllables.

And that's when we're lucky!

He needs help, therapy, God knows what...

He needs friends!

Do normal things, screw things up, get hurt...

Nico is NOT a normal kid!

So what?

Nico is fourteen.

At this age, no kid is normal.

OK,

so we continue pretending that everything's fine...

This is blood...

Pardon me?

Nico? Kids!

Call the police!

Sir...

I don't know what happened...

Stay there with my wife!

Will you finish him off?

Too late.

He's dead.

CANTONMENT Early Learning Center.

Come up, please.

Laura, go fetch your uncle.

Yes?

Turn it around.

Uncle Julio... Mom asks if you can come.

You're still here?

Weren't you supposed to be at the pool?

I was studying openings.

Can you stay with Marcos a moment?

Me? And what should I do?

Teach him some chess, will you?

Someone from Provincialism wants to talk to you.

Second thoughts?

Too late.

The exchequers been cashed.

Good morning.

Morning, Dr. Belt.

Did you recall what you wanted from me?

So, a psychologist.

A shrink so they can state I'm crazy.

So what, shrink?

Nothing to say?

My father's not paying you to be silent.

I don't think I'll accept the job.

One can't help someone who doesn't ask for it.

My dad thinks I killed the dog on purpose, right?

Why do you think he believes that?

Your father and you don't get along?

Want to talk?

It was an accident.

I don't care, that's true. It was just a "submissive" dog.

But I didn't kill him.

Convincing, eh?

You must look into the eyes Without blinking.

And you mustn't touch your face.

Do you like jigsaws?

How long do I have?

I wonder how Choc could have been hit so close to the sidewalk.

There was this truck.

The ball bounced underneath it

and the dog went for it just as it started up.

And then he crawled onto your parents' bed.

A "submissive dog“.

Is that why it deserved to die?

A cheap trick for children.

Can you play chess, shrink?

Blitz or lightning?

As you wish...

You are very tidy.

In two minutes I'll give you the beating of your life.

You draw very well.

I see you like chess a lot.

I'd like it more if you played better.

Say your prayers, shrink.

You're dead.

Checkmate in six.

Rematch.

You know what a FIFE master is?

It was a pleasure, Nico.

Nico!

What's the matter?

I'm Julio Belt ran.

Coral, Nico's mother.

Coral?

You upstairs?

Your husband asked me to see Nico.

Right.

OK, I should be going...

Would you like a coffee?

Very kind of you, but it's a bit late.

We are keeping Dr. Belt, darling...

OK, love, but I want to know how it went.

He needs therapy.

He needs to find ways to solve his conflicts

without seeking confrontation.

Who is that?

A shrink.

Like a doctor.

Who is sick?

What I can do is recommend a colleague.

No, we want you.

In that case...

I'm sorry.

Julio... at least tell me you'll think it over.

I could have a word with Robert,

the chairman of Provincialism.

We might get some extra funds for your center.

Good morning.

Yesterday you didn't call.

How did it go?

Nothing to do with funding.

Looking for a therapist for his son.

And?

He signs our exchequers. What can I say?

You should say no.

Regardless of the money, if you accept the case,

you'll have no time for your patients.

Julio...

Patricia...

We opened this center to treat people with real problems.

People with real problems have no money to pay us.

Without Provincialism...

...we'd close in three months. How many times have I heard that?

It's me the one who is standing up for the business

going to these parties for millionaires.

UP TO you.

Dinner with us tonight?

tonight?

When did you last have a decent dinner?

And you, when did you last invite a man other than your brother?

Good shot.

That one will be difficult to improve.

Yes.

You're fired.

Son, are you going to be on that computer the whole day?

'Shill?

No.

Well, it's misspelled here.

What a smart kid I have!

How are things with Julio?

The psychologist.

Busy.

We'll look for another specialist.

I don't know why we have to go with him everywhere...

...as if we were his shadows.

Nico, stop disrespecting your father!

What? You think so, too.

Look, mama, look!

What's this?

Daddy and me...

Really?

...with the Yellow Submarine, in the bathtub.

How beautiful!

Hello, Julio.

Morning, Bern at.

I'm waiting for Andrew.

Back to psychotherapy to treat yet another motherfucker...

Is it well paid, at least?

I still don't know if I'll accept.

At the moment, it's just curiosity.

Listen to your teacher.

A child who kills his dog is a psychopath.

How's Laura doing?

Shes the best player I've seen at this age.

Better than you.

But she can't swim.

At twelve.

So what?

She is the Spanish chess champion

and could become the best in Europe.

What else can you ask for?

She can't help being just a girl.

And?

Adolescence is a stupid phase.

I was like her at her age.

Okay-

How can you understand Laura so well...

and refuse to believe that the boy can change?

The "dog ripper" cannot tell between good and evil...

...and that is extremely dangerous.

If you decide to treat him, do not bring him here.

You know I quit psychology because I was tired of seeing lunatics.

You know I quit chess for the same reason.

I let him beat me on purpose.

I'm not surprised.

How long's it been since you last talked to me?

Carlos...

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

It's pathetic you let him win.

If you say something again I...

Carlos, please. And you, Nico, be quiet!

Loser.

Maybe this is what he really needs.

- Not a psychologist, but a good beating. - Carlos, stop it!

Switch that off!

Nico, you'll wake your sister up!

Carlos...

You saw what he did to me?

Nico, you crazy or what?

Watch out!

Sorry to bother you.

But after this...

If you don't take our case...

...Carlos will lock Nico away in a reformatory.

For God's sake, Coral.

You left without a trace,

fifteen years without knowing about you

and this is all you have to say?

We cannot control him.

I need your help.

Carlos Albert's family?

Yes, me.

Your husband's waiting;

he suffered an impact on his left cheek but that'll be all.

Is he 0?

Yes. Come with me, please...

Nicks father, I guess...

No.

Julio Belt.

His psychologist.

My wife spent five years going to a psychologist.

Did it work?

She committed suicide.

Sorry.

You're not.

But it doesn't matter.

What do you want from me?

Information about Nico.

I don't know what to say. He's a very strange kid.

You've known him since he was a child, haven't you?

He was a strange child.

Now, he's strange and also very mean.

- Good morning. - Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You may not remember...

I took part in a seminar you taught in Cordoba.

Really?

- A few years back. - Shall we talk about Nico?

Yes.

I guess his mother's told you

he's passive in class,

he's confrontational and doesn't empathize with almost anyone.

How do you explain that?

It's a way of attracting attention.

He's begging for more affection,

more communication.

He needs more feedback.

More feedback...

If he doesn't emotionally "unlock", he won't open to social experience.

His la’s high.

But at an emotional level, he's not learning.

This only scores up to 145.

Nico might be an exceptionally gifted child.

The Dvorak "exceptionally"...

I don't like reducing it to a mere number.

It's you who conducted this test.

A mere school requisite.

Have you worked with Nico personally?

I gave up long 890-

He wasn't comfortable... wouldn't talk.

Isn't playing chess on one's own a kind of self-punishment?

No.

Is playing the violin alone a masochistic activity?

In short, he hasn't said anything

and you have reached a bunch of baseless conclusions.

I don't know what kind of seminar you attended,

but it's obvious you didn't learn much.

Good morning.

I didn't come here to play chess.

I want a rematch.

And I want to know a few things.

What happened the other day in the car?

My father started it.

What's your problem with him?

Nico.

Nico.

You could've gotten killed.

What? Talk.

Nothing.

The rematch.

No.

Why don't we play something else? Riddles can be challenging, too.

- And then the rematch. - We'll see.

All right.

How alike and how different

can a string and a rope be?

Many strings make a rope

but many ropes do not make a string.

I believe you want to rope me into your game

because you think you are pulling the strings.

You know your ropes and want to thread your way into my head,

but you might end with a rope around your neck.

Do you think I'm crazy?

What are you scribbling, shrink?

You reading my mind?

Gets an A in showing off.

Play.

I don't want to become your rival, Nico.

You said you'd give me a rematch.

YOU said that.

I said: "We'll see".

What were you about to say before?

Play and stop fooling me!

You can scream, kick or foam at the mouth if you like.

I won't do anything I don't want to.

Have I made myself clear?

I want you to teach me to play well.

I want to be a FIFE master, and become the best in the world.

That's not just about playing well.

I know.

It takes discipline.

Everything worthwhile requires discipline.

That's what my mother always says.

How do you get along with your mother?

Well.

Do you like her?

The Queen.

I don't have a favourite piece.

Will you teach me?

If you want to learn with me, you'll have to earn it.

I'm the one who sets the rules.

How did it go?

Fine.

I'd like to take him to a place outside the home.

I need your permission.

You have it.

Therapy... it may take a while to take effect.

And sometimes it's not pleasant.

You see, Julio...

Go and see mum, darling.

OK, daddy.

If I screw something up say so without consideration.

Treat me not as a customer, but as a friend.

I just want the best for my son and to be a family again.

Part of what is happening to Nico is my fault.

Hello there.

Good morning, Julio.

Andrew is very jealous about his teaching methods.

I beg you to show respect, please.

He shoulder be here.

Let me introduce you to my teacher.

No matter how long you live,

you'll never know anyone better at playing chess.

Andrew Holster.

Chess’s got more to it than sitting before a board.

- Let me play with her. - Don't you even think about it.

Here people come to learn.

Well, I vacant to learn.

- Why not? - Nico.

Nico.

Do you remember the game of the other day?

All of it?

If you're able to remember the whole game

and tell me where you went wrong, maybe you'll be allowed

to play with Laura. Andrew?

How many moves?

Eighteen.

Blitz or lightning?

Neither. 2 minutes.

We play seriously here.

I don't like this kid.

Give him a chance.

This lad's dangerous. Why is it so difficult to admit that?

OK. He's dangerous. The question is, why?

Do you really think you can cure him?

I don't know. But I think he's shouting for help

and I want to know why.

Keep him away from Laura.

I guess I can go to the loo, right?

Check.

Stalemate.

What do you mean by stalemate?

Laura is right.

We'll teach you...

...but at the first sign of trouble, you're out, okay?

Hold on a second.

Give it to me.

What?

If you knew, why didn't you say anything?

'Cause although you don't deserve it, I vacant to give you a chance.

I couldn't beat her even with the machine.

Laura's very good, the best.

Will you tell her?

Hello.

Hello.

Nico.

Would you leave us alone, please?

- How was it? - He's certainly hooked on chess...

...a shared illness with a difficult remedy.

It seems chess is all he's interested in, right?

Yes. There's ho evidence that chess is therapeutic

but it might help.

Listen, Coral...

I don't know if it's a good idea that I treat Nico.

OK.

What's chess about?

About killing the king.

It's much more than that.

Chess is not fighting against an opponent.

It's fighting against oneself.

Why is studying so important?

Combinations are endless, but actually only a few thousands are used.

You must know the most common mistakes

and take advantage when the opponent makes them.

On May 11th 1997, an IBM supercomputer beat the world chess champion.

Out of six games, the computer, named Deep Blue,

won three and drew one.

That was the end of an era.

Until that day, it was believed that chess was a mixture of art and sport;

a matter of memory, intelligence and talent.

When Deep Blue defeated Kasparov we discovered that in the end,

it was only a question of memory.

And nowadays any cheap computer has more memory than a world champion.

On May 11th 1997 I decided to stop competing.

I vowed never again to play chess.

But I came back.

Do you know why?

Because IBM dismantled Deep Blue and never allowed it to play again.

They were afraid. Afraid of talent.

Using a computer is the second most appalling thing

you can do in a game of chess.

What is the most appalling?

Using a computer that plays worse than you.

Something is not clear.

Is it because it is increasingly difficult

to distinguish normal things from those pathological?

Or because I cannot rule out

that Nico is rebelling against something that's happening,

invisible to my analysis, in this apparently exemplary family?

Is he silent because he's got too much to tell?

A month and a half with him... I can't believe it.

His father had almost given up.

One must only listen.

And a surgeon must only operate.

Thanks.

I mean it.

The day after tomorrow is my birthday.

I never celebrate it, but if you come,

we can have a cake and all those stupid things.

If you vacant you can also tell Laura, too.

She'd love to come but in a few clays,

she has the tournament and Andrew is very strict about that.

That's true...

Where are you going?

Wow, what a fright.

You've got Marcos waiting.

Marcos?

I left a message for his parents!

Tell his mother that I had to leave.

- Excuse me? - Tell her I had some emergency.

Birthday parties are anything but an emergency.

They usually happen the same day every year.

Nicks my patient.

And Pilar and Marcos are no longer your patients?

Will they pay the bills?

Well then.

Please.

A wish!

I still don't understand why we can't sing "Happy Birthday".

Because it's tacky.

Time for gifts. Diana, yours first.

Happy birthday, Nico.

I drew it myself.

I really like it.

How beautiful, Diana.

Happy birthday, Nico.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Your father's presents next.

I'm going to fetch it.

Hold on, I'll go and get it.

Surprise!

Careful! You can't lift it.

What is it, Daddy?

You'll see...

Come.

An orange fish!

It's a goldfish.

Do you like it?

I'll go change the water.

You see? He likes it.

Coral didn't want me to buy it.

But look, for once, I got it right, didn't I?

Shall we cut the cake?

I didn't know you drew too.

Yes, I make them up. Nico doesn't.

Do you?

- You draw very well. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

And you, shrink?

Don't you have a gift?

Nico, don't be cheeky.

No worries, it's 0, Coral.

See if you like it.

A Chess Federation Membership? Is it for real?

Thank you. I knew you wouldn't let me down.

You must thank Andrew. He's in charge of these things.

It's your turn now not to let me down.

Yeah. Now, let's win some contests.

Exactly.

Where's Mum?

Stay there.

Mum!

- What happened? - Nothing.

- You're bleeding! - I said I'm fine! Leave me alone!

Come with me!

I had enough of you, you little piece of shit

Do you know what the Minors' Prosecuting Office is?

I just have to make a call to send you to a reformatory!

You've earned it!

It's over! we tried in good faith and it didn't work.

Now we'll do it my way. Nico's going to a boarding school.

No, Carlos...

Why not?

Chess had to fix everything.

What happened?

What do you think happened?

You have to provide the answers.

I'm your customer.

Bring Nico here. We'll have a Dvorak with him.

I don't need to hear anything!

I know perfectly well What's going on with my son.

This explains it perfectly.

I know it, thanks.

It's called "the emperor syndrome“. Do you know it?

Yes. Just another tag used by psychologists

to throw their brilliance about.

If you work too much, you're "burnt-out".

If your boss gives you shit, you're suffering from "mobbing".

And if your son is a spoiled child, they call it "the emperor syndrome".

Nico is not a spoiled child.

Nor does he suffer from the emperor syndrome.

He never asks for anything. No whims. He's self-sufficient.

Carlos... Nothing to do with that at all.

What is it, then?

Does he vacant to fuck up our lives out of pure fun?

I do not know.

I swear I don't know what's happening to Nico but I think we're close.

Close... to what?

Nicks cross with Daddy.

Dad is even angrier with Nico!

Look what he's done to Mum!

And why is Nico angry with Daddy?

It's over, Julio.

It's a secret.

What is a secret?

I said it's over!

Here. I'm paying you twice what we agreed.

Are you sacking me?

You said it wasn't your area of expertise.

Oman, son.

Let's go to bed.

I'm sorry, Mum.

- It's red, right? - Red, yes.

Wouldn't it be easier if we both looked for it?

Sorry, but there's nobody in. Wait here, please.

All right.

Excuse me.

Excuse me?

Andrew, listen.

I've just discovered What the matter is with Nico.

It's his father. All Nico does is against his father.

Think of it: the accident, the dog, the fish...

Julio, when you were my student you always listened to my advice:

let go. You're getting yourself into a mess.

Andrew, Carlos told me himself.

Part of what is happening to Nico is my fault.

He said it casually, and I didn't realise at the time...

It's only a theory.

You've got to see something...

Laura is very nervous, she doesn't vacant you here.

I'm not worried. She'll win.

To retain a title is always harder than winning it for the first time.

It's only a theory. But you must see this...

I also have a theory. You're screwing her.

And why is Nico angry with Daddy?

It's over, Julio.

It's a secret.

What's the matter?

I need to talk to Nico.

I told you he was asking for help.

Tell me about the drawings.

You're not my psychologist.

My father dismissed you.

It doesn't matter. You have a problem and I want to help.

One can't help those who don't ask for it.

You said it yourself.

Are you worried that your father might know?

I don't give a shit about my father.

- And Inborn not afraid of him. - And Diana?

Is there someone weaker than you, who IS frightened?

Sir.

Hello?

I need to know what's going on in this picture.

If you don't tell me, we won't be able to help her.

Madam?

Is my husband in?

No.

Listen to me, please.

You know what, Robert? Fuck you and your threats!

Where are you going?

- And the kids? - Don't come close to me!

What the hell's going on?

What are you doing?

Are you mad or what? Will you open that door?

Leave me alone!

Coral, open the door!

Then the witch said: "Move aside, useless girl".

She put her head into the oven to light the fire...

...and what did Gretel do?

She pushed her in!

She pushed the wicked witch into the oven.

But that I'll tell you tomorrow, your eyes are closing.

Children, it's bedtime.

When will Daddy come to kiss me? When I fall asleep?

Good night, darling.

Good night, uncle Julio.

Good night.

Nico...

Nico, it doesn't have to be now... but we should talk, 0k?

Thanks.

For everything.

We must talk to her.

I need to talk to Nico and Diana.

Calm down now, Coral.

It's him again.

Tell him you know, that you'll report him.

I can't.

How on Earth was I so blind?

I could kill him right now.

Bastard!

Nobody can imagine such a thing.

Many people can't even accept it when they find out.

They pretend it's not happening.

You've been very brave.

Julio.

We'll leave tomorrow, We'll look for a place.

We don't vacant to bother you.

No hurry.

Go sleep in my room. I'll be fine here on the couch.

No way.

I sleep here almost every night.

You sure?

Sure.

Coral.

Diana is fine.

She will get over it.

Good night.

Good night.

Patricia?

What is it?

No, sorry. I won't be able to come. Tell Laura I'd love to go but...

Patricia?

Hey! Laura, show them, 0?

Yeah, good luck. I can't talk right now...

What's the matter?

Coral, Car-lose just been with my sister.

He's coming over.

Does he know we're here?

He went to the center, wanted to talk to me.

My sister told him I would be home.

Are you in a hurry?

Well, I have a congress, but...

Are you 0?

My wife hasn't called you, has she?

Why would she call me?

She left. with the children.

She doesn't answer the phone...

I thought she might have spoken to you.

No, I don't know.

Let's see if she wants to talk to me.

Hello, is that Coral? This is Julio Belt ran.

The... well, Nico's former psychologist.

It may sound a bit strange, but I'm here with your husband...

I think he wants to talk to you. I'll put you through, okay?

Coral?

She hung up.

Sorry for the trouble.

Do you think he was following us?

I don't think so.

He wanted to see if I knew something.

He must be afraid of what's next for him.

What if he sues me for leaving home?

Half of his friends are lawyers. And Diana has no marks, no signs...

You have me. You have the drawings, and Nico and Diana.

They'll explain everything.

We just have to be patient, okay?

Yes.

Coral...

I'll be by your side.

Thank you.

Andrew!

We thought you weren't coming.

What happened to you? You look tired.

Nothing.

I've come with Nico.

Has his mother seen the pictures?

Yes.

So what?

Not good.

Tomorrow I'm going with her to report Carlos.

Andrew, I wish you could do me a favour.

I vacant Nico to register to the tournament.

Impossible. - No, it isn't.

Everyone here respects you.

- Nico is not in the federation. - How come?

And the license I gave him?

I didn't send the papers,

thought the kid was pulling your leg.

Oman, Andrew...

What if he plays anyway?

It's only some missing paperwork.

If he doesn't reach the final, nobody will notice anything.

You vacant me out of the Federation?

They'd close down the school if they found out.

You and I did it when I was small.

Two or three games and then home.

- Uncle Julio! - Laura!

- You said you were not coming... - Yes, but he convinced me.

Hello, Laura.

Hello.

Hello.

- Shall we make a move inside? - Yes. Let's go, Diana.

I'm happy you finally made it.

- Are you nervous? - A little.

There. I made it for you.

Thanks.

I've got nothing for you.

Welcome to the Spanish Chess Open.

The International Chess Federation welcomes all participants.

The initial ranking and each rounds starting time

are displayed on the electronic panels.

Nicolas Albert?

Thanks, shrink. I knew you wouldn't let me Donovan.

The rounds will start exactly on time,

being the players present or not.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

No wrong result can be claimed once the next round is finished,

nor when the last round of the tournament has started.

- Thought you weren't coming. - Hello, Patricia.

Hello, Julio.

It's a very long story.

Let me introduce you to Coral.

Hello.

Hello.

What's this gorgeous girl's name?

Diana, and this is Teddy.

Hello, Teddy.

- Hello, cutie. - Hello.

Ten seconds to the start of the tournament.

Please take your seats.

Look at Nico!

Clocks on!

Mummy, I want some water...

- Would you like sternum’s juice? - No. I vacant water!

Hold on a sec, love...

- Nico, you must stop winning! - What?

Listen, the Federation doesn't yet have your papers,

do you understand?

I'll never give in. I'm not like Carlos, I'm like you.

Listen, Andrew has enrolled you to do me a favour

but if you reach the final, you'll get us in trouble.

Diana?

Diana!

Diana?

Diana?

Diana?

Coral?

- What's wrong? - The car...

It's Carlos' car.

I've lost my baby!

Checkmate in six.

You know this player?

- Do we have any Nicolas Albert? - No.

Have you seen a small blonde-pigtailed girl?

Excuse me. Have you seen a five year old short girl, blonde...?

Coral, the toilets!

Andrew Holster?

It is a pleasure to meet the Master.

I've read a lot about you.

I've been told that the two finalists are students of yours

- and I'd like to ask... - Andrew!

- Will you allow us a minute? - Of course, sir.

I don't know how to say this...

Your bracelets worked.

Are you 0?

Why won't you speak to me?

I don't want to play against you.

Maybe when they discover I'm not a member of the Federation,

they'll cancel the final.

They'd never do that.

It'd be like admitting they made a mistake.

So you're afraid I'll beat you?

Don't be silly!

Andrew will become the Federation's scapegoat!

Chess is everything he's got!

Come with me.

Where?

Andrew, have you seen Laura or Julio?

I haven't seen them for a while and I'm a little concerned.

I need you to take care of her.

Diana love, stay with Andrew until Mum is back.

Don't move from here, 0k?

Common. Don't be afraid.

I don't like swimming pools.

It's 0, we all have our weak point.

Why this face?

It's only normal that you win.

Shall we both withdraw?

To hell with the tournament. What do we want that trophy for?

Let's sneak out through a door. Can you imagine their faces?

I can't do this to uncle Julio.

Nor to my mother.

Do you prefer to play against me?

Whatever I do, I'll let someone Donovan.

Do you trust me?

You can no longer let anyone Donovan.

Pardon? - Close your eyes.

Diana!

Where the hell is Diana?

Are you both nuts?

If you've harmed her...

What the fuck are you talking about?

What the fuck AM I talking about?

Come here, Inborn gonna kill you...

Nico, I don't like this.

We should go back.

In a minute, easy now...

I've loved you all my life, given you everything,

and you dump me this way,

with no explanation and for a shitty shrink!

What's this?

I'm going to get you for this!

Bastards! How long has this been going on?

Bloody hell.

We had not seen each other since then.

I wish I'd chosen him. You are disgusting!

Disgusting?

You are the one who lied all the way, bitch!

How could you steal my family from me this way?

And you? How could you abuse your daughter?

What? Me?

What are you talking about Coral?

Do you think I am a monster?

Everything been so easy!

When I discovered the photo of Julio and my mother, I couldn't believe it...

By date, he could even be my father...

Laura, little Laura...

Do you know how a dog smells when it's about to die?

Nico.

You're not a bad girl, Laura.

But you're the last obstacle between me and becoming the best.

- But I...? - You what?

I don't care about you, Laura.

I just can't love.

We all have our weak point.

Nico.

Laura!

Laura!

Laura Belt ran will play white and Nicolas Albert black.

This is a 20-minute game.

Please remain silent. The game is about to start.

Clock on!
