Let's see... tomorrow.

Could you drop it off at my office?

I will text you the address. Uh...

Leave it in the parking lot.

Just ask, and they'll tell you where.

At 10:
30? Is that okay?

I'll make it work.

Anything else of his that you have?

No.

Just personal things.

[SONIA SIGHS ON PHONE]

We'll have to work out

what to do with the apartment too.

Of course.

I want you to handle

all practical affairs with me. Mm?

Can we talk about that when we meet?

I'm at work right now.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING

AND JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

- Can you bring the check?

- Right away.

I'll be right back.

Marina, someone's here for you.

- Who?

- I don't know.

- Where?

- At the entrance.

Good afternoon, Marina.

Thanks for coming out.

It'll just be two minutes.

- Hello.

- Hello.

I'm Detective Adriana Corts...

...from the Investigative Police's

Sexual Offenses Unit.

Good afternoon.

First, I want to offer my condolences.

They told me what happened.

I'm really sorry.

The fact that you ran away

from the hospital...

...really concerned me.

Could we talk there?

- Of course.

- Please.

I didn't run away.

Oh.

There must be some mistake, then.

Could I see your ID, please?

One question:

Mr. Orlando...

- Onetto.

- Yes.

Was he paying you?

We were a couple.

So you cared for each other.

It wasn't just sexual.

It was a healthy, consensual relationship

between two adults.

Why do you ask?

He was old enough to be your father.

Did you consume drugs

before his seizure?

- No.

- Alcohol?

Yes.

Did you have sex?

I don't remember.

I need to know

if he suffered any physical stress.

Nothing unusual.

The thing is, Mr. Onetto's body...

...arrived with injuries, bruises.

He suffered blows to his

arms, sides and neck.

And had a contusion on his head.

The injuries were fresh.

I talked to the doctor about all of this.

Did you talk to his family?

[ALESSANDRA SPEAKS IN SPANISH]

Excuse me.

It's about the check for Table 15.

- I'll be right there.

- Five minutes, please.

- Can't they cover for you?

- No.

I need to get back, or they'll fire me.

Look, I've been working on the streets

for 23 years.

Fourteen years in Sexual Offenses,

and I have a master's degree in it.

I know very well what happens

to people-- Sorry, women like you.

I've seen everything.

Everything.

I want you to know

I understand and support you.

Mm-hm?

Did you have to defend yourself from him?

- Am I being arrested?

- No.

- Then I'm going because--

- Wait, let's do this.

Call me when you're done,

so we can talk properly...

...and I can sleep well, all right?

Talk about what?

CORTES:

I'll be waiting for you.

It'll be best if you don't leave Santiago.

Okay, bye.
