Look, she likes chocolate,

same as you do, it's funny.

What's that smell?

She dirtied herself.

-She stinks.

-She smells like a child.

She'll sh*t herself even more.

lsmael...

Why not ask for a ransom first?

Did you hear?

We need money.

So go on the streets.

What are you doing?

Tell me!

What are you doing?

Don't eat that!

lt's dirty!

Do you understand?

Dirty!

You're very pretty.

l had to change her.

She isn't toilet trained yet.

We'll ask for a lot.

-We must find a relative.

-l don't think we'll get much.

We should do it tomorrow.

We'll see.

We should think it over.

We could contact the clinic.

They're responsible for her.

They'll get the money.

They wouldn't risk it.

We have to find out

who to ask, and how.

-lt's not so easy.

-We can't risk waiting too long.

We can't risk messing it up.

Leave it to me.

And in the meantime?

You don't change her, or feed her!

Must you do that now?

lt stinks!

Don't.

Open it a bit.

-And after?

-After what?

After we get the money.

l'll take her to the police

with our photos,

so she can turn us in.

What do you think?

They'll feel bad if they pay

and then we kill her.

We won't kill her.

Remember?

The train...

Very clever.

She doesn't laugh.

What? She doesn't laugh?

No, never.

All kids laugh.

She doesn't talk,

that's even worse.

Talking isn't important.

l love you.

You say it to me.

Stay with Luci, all right?

lsn't she back?

No, she won't come tonight.

And that woman has no phone.

Why would she? She's deaf.

Anyway, who'd call her?

Don't worry,

this has happened before.

She can't go on

living with that old woman.

-She isn't bad to her.

-She should inform us.

We'll see tomorrow.

Well...

Why are you in here?

l don't know, l fell asleep.

F*** me, you don't say.

And your insomnia?

l don't know.

l don't trust the girl.

l was checking.

She's not a child.

And don't swear.

You don't trust her?

No, l don't trust her.

Then tie her up.

l should what?

That's enough.

What?

Aren't you going up?

Don't you like the chain?

Should l get something else?

A rope?

l said that's enough.

Will you trust her tonight?

Aren't you making a bit of a fuss?

She may not have a brain

but she's got legs.

That's all she needs to get away.

Before, you didn't trust anybody,

not her,

or me.

She can't reach this.

-And who could loosen this?

-How should l know?

You see?

She never laughs.

What?

lt isn't normal.

lt isn't normal

that she's still here.

You're not listening.

When are we going to do it?

We're taking a stupid risk.

We'll do it when we know how.

Soon.

-So long.

-See you tomorrow.

Excuse me.

Do you work here?

Who is the director of the asylum?
