But I can show a doctor

and ask his opinion.

No, I take her to the doctor

'cause I'm her mother.

You won't do a thing.

Close that drawer.

Nora, I care for your daughter.

And want to help.

Who is it?

Mercedes Oliverti.

I'm Daro's mother.

-Yes. Eh...

-Remember me?

Right, I'm very busy at the moment.

What do you need?

Where's the divan?

-What divan?

-Your divan, doctor.

Hold, on. What do you need, ma'am?

Wait a minute...

To have a little chat.

I only have time now.

Chat about what?

He doesn't know it,

but there was a twin.

Daro? Does he have a brother?

Actually, during childbirth...

the other baby...

Actually, I call him Daro, too.

I don't know why, but...

I gave him the same name.

Well...

During birth, Daro came out first.

And he accidentally...

...tied the cord

around the other babe.

Around the brother.

He strangled him.

You think this is why he's stuck?

Is that why he can't move on?

No.

I doubt it.

I never told him.

But that's it.

That's how he came to be.

Through murder.

Will you ask him to come back?

No.

I doubt that's a good idea-- What?

Hi, honey!

-Don't say you're here.

-You're at the party?

No, no, no.

I'm having a drink with friends.

Yes, darling. What is it?

I get it, okay. That's fine.

No, don't worry, I won't butt in.

There's food if you feel hungry.

In the fridge.

There's a delicious squash pie

with onions.

Heat it a minute in the microwave.

-Or try it cold.

-Or eat it cold.

-He's an adult.

-Yes, you're an adult, Daro.

Take care, honey.

Should we have lunch tomorrow?

He hung up. No, no.

I forgot to tell you something.

What?

Don't you have something here

to give Daro?

No. I don't do prescriptions.

Can't medicate him.

No, I don't mean a prescription, doctor.

Like a job.

A job? That thing with the job again?

Who do you think I am?

-Any job?

-No!

-Think about it.

-I won't.

-I work alone.

-We could reach an understanding.

What kind of understanding?

I give you the money for his salary.

And more, of course.

Think about it.

So cute, so cute.

Beautiful.

You're wearing makeup?

Yes.

Haven't seen you like that.

You will now.

It's all right. You're two faced.

-Where is it?

-North.

-But where?

-I'll take you.

How are we getting in?

With the guy from work.

He's going to the club.

-Did you tell him?

-No. What would I tell him?

Tell us, come on!

Were bricks and domes

used in the Byzantine Empire?

No!

No!

Seemed impossible. I didn't think so.

But I didn't know that answer.

I didn't study that part exactly.

So I drew a blank.

I didn't know what to do.

And right then, guys,

I remembered

that the night before, my father

had given me a penholder.
