Death and the Maiden Page #2

prove were on the death squads?

The evidence will be turned over

to the courts.

To the courts.

Yeah. Maybe to that judge

who told Maria Bautista...

her husband

wasn't tortured to death.

He just ran off

with a younger woman.

If this happens every night,

I can't do this job.

- Good.

- It's a job that's worth doing.

I don't exist.

Once the truth

starts to come out...

I can get the president

to change the rules.

But you didn't change his mind.

It's still only cases

that ended in death.

You have to give me time.

Make love to me. Let's be happy.

Happy?

That's real bullshit.

We can.

Just give me time.

Give us time.

I promise you

I'll get them for you.

I'll bring you justice

instead of a flat tire.

Let's dream of happiness,

my sweet girl.

My bride.

- My savior.

- I want to.

I want to help you be

brilliant and important.

I want us to live

like suburban idiots.

I want to adopt a baby

and spoil it.

My beautiful boy.

My beautiful, beautiful boy.

It's a car.

- There's a car here.

- What?

Wake up.

What is it? What?

- OK. I'll go.

- Don't.

It's OK. It's OK.

Who is it?

It's Dr. Miranda.

I've got your tire.

- Oh, Christ.

- What?

It's OK. It's nothing.

I'm coming!

It's the guy who stopped

to help me with the car.

It's OK. It's OK.

Christ. Just a minute.

I forgot to take it out.

Of course. I'm so stupid.

I drove home and got into

the shower before it hit me.

- Oh, I woke you.

- No. I was just, uh...

Is your power out, too?

Yeah. The whole peninsula

for a change.

- This is very kind.

- It's no problem.

I could've picked it up.

How? On your bike?

You have no car.

I couldn't call,

and you needed the tire.

I'm really sorry for

what I've done to your weekend.

Stop that.

You're being nice...

but it isn't necessary

to keep apologizing.

I'm all alone.

My wife took the kids

to her mother's.

The house is so empty...

I probably wouldn't

be able to sleep.

Want to know the truth...

the real, real truth?

Truth is, I'm a fan of yours.

I was so stunned

when you introduced yourself...

I couldn't say anything.

On the way home,

I heard the news on the radio.

I'm thrilled to meet you.

On the radio?

What did you hear?

About you and the commission.

You're doing

the most important work.

I couldn't resist the temptation

to come tell you.

What exactly did you hear?

You're going to chair

the commission.

That's not supposed

to be announced.

Oh, well...

I wouldn't worry.

They said it was rumors.

Leaks, I guess.

This was on the news?

I followed your career

ever since you petitioned...

on behalf

of the missing prisoners in...

Anyway, I just want to tell you

what a thrill.
