Bad Blood Page #3

You must be Dr Monteiro,

and you, his wife...

Helena Monteiro,

very pleased to meet you.

And you would be

the famous Father Cruz.

Famous?

I'd say anything but famous...

But we've already

heard a lot about you.

You must have heard that I'm

too young, very inexperienced...

More or less.

I bet you know the sermon by heart.

They're good people...

But they're timid,

they don't much like anything new.

- Which we happen to be...

- No, no...

Even me!

People think a priest

should be an older man.

A paternal figure...

The saviour of souls

should be mature.

A father, if you like,

who can be turned

to with the most trivial worries...

And are there many souls

to save out there, Father?

You have no idea.

Mum?

Mum?

Doesn't Ricardo seem strange to you?

Strange?

Very tense...

very absent...

Do you think he's worried

about the school starting soon?

None of us died of going

to an official school, did we?

No, but neither did any of us

change our habits

or childhood friends so much.

Give him time.

People get used to anything.

And it's not exactly a tragedy,

let's keep things in proportion.

People get used to anything...

You know better than anyone,

don't you?

Yes, dad, don't you doubt it.

But haven't you noticed

that it's not just you

who's had to adjust to my life?

Have you noticed that I've had

to adjust to your life too?

Is the baby asleep?

Almost.

I'm going to bed too.

You can be so irritating!

I'm not talking to a child.

I'm talking to a woman.

She's old enough to understand that

she won't get away with being rude!

Are you aware that you're talking

about your daughter?

Don't you realize that the rude one

sometimes is you?

You haven't had

a decent talk with her

since she appeared pregnant!

Don't you think she feels

lonely enough already?

I just think, Xavier...

If you ask us all

to make an effort,

don't forget

to do it yourself as well.

Do you think

I should talk to Ricardo?

He's gone back to asking me

to leave the light on at night...

He was doing so well in Lisbon!

I'm going to talk to Rui,

he hasn't called for days...

It's here.

I'm almost certain it's here.

- Right, what's the verdict?

- We'll stop here.

I'm a bit tired

of getting beaten up...

Oh Professor!

That was really easy!

It was like a motorway

compared to the other tracks!

Of course...

I'm not used to these things,

I'm a woose from the city.

- What's so funny?

- A woose?!

I've never heard that one,

that's a good one!

- What if we rest for a while?

- And drink a little something...

Professor...

This is a good place

for that crowd from Fundao.

- What crowd from Fundao?

- Don't you know?

They got thousands of quid
