- Sure, Plan B.

- Okay, here you are.

And would you like some

ointment for your eye.

- Oh, no, thanks.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, yeah, it's okay.

Hey, did you get my text?

[text chimes]

[plane engines roar]

-[Narrator] Jerome's

conjunctivitis spread across

Gina's eye, causing it to

redden and swell and ooze.

It became cloudy, and she could

barely see straight anymore.

- Jerome.

- Ah, American girl.

Hello.

Yeah, I like it.

It's sexy.

Very sexy.

I will take a flight.

But I don't have

my ticket with me.

[glass shatters]

- Oh, I'm sorry.

-[Girl] Yeah, we will take it.

- You want a drink?

Yeah.

No, it's okay.

- Cheers.

- Julie, American girl.

[moaning]

[moaning]

- You want me to do it again?

- Yeah.

[camera clicks]

[camera clicks]

what are you doing?

- Nothing.

- You came to my place.

- Yeah.

Is that okay?

Sorry, I've been

up for a long time.

- Yeah, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

- I have to go to

work pretty soon.

- Oh, yeah?

Maybe you can stay

for a few minutes, no?

- Okay.

Just a few.

- Yeah.

to mention Paul's

death to Jerome.

She could just tell he knew.

He instinctively

understood her pain.

- I like you, too.

I like you.

But long-distance

is very difficult,

and I know that, but because

of my last girlfriend,

she was traveling every time...

- Long-distance is hard.

- Yeah.

- I've been thinking

about moving to Paris.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

- I'm not from New York.

I'm from the state of New York,

but not the city of New York.

- So you're not from New York.

- Yeah, it's very

depressing where I am.

-[Charlie] So,

you're from New York,

but you're not from New York.

- Correct.

I've been to the

city, and it's cool.

I've been there.

-[Charlie] You've been there?

- But it's not the same thing.

- Let me give you my number

so that I can show you around.

My name is Charlotte.

I mean, Charlie.

Everybody calls me Charlie.

- Charlie?

- Yeah, Charlie.

- Gina.

- Gina?

Oh, that's a beautiful name.

- Okay, I'll see you.

- Bye, see you soon.

[laughs]

-[Gina] Good night.

- Good night.

[haunting music]

[doorbell buzzes]

[doorbell buzzes]

[phone keypad tapping]

-[Narrator] With nothing

left for her back in New York,

Gina was looking for a sign,

any sign, to remain in Paris.

- Very pretty.

Do you have another...

Do you have another

apartment with the sign

that looked out onto the street?

Okay, um, I have a friend.

- She says that it's more

expensive than the

other apartment.

She said that there

was a lovely couple

that used to live here.

- It's perfect.

- Really?

- Yes, perfect.

No, I just, I need a break.
