to say goodbye to him too.

Look, it's my problem now.

You already had a hard time.

Now the formalities are my part.

And I want to compensate you

for everything you've done.

Really, so you can relax.

You don't need to go anywhere

or do anything.

And we'll handle this in a civilized way,

so we're both satisfied.

I don't need your money, ma'am.

Did you call the police?

No.

Well, in any case, I apologize.

I'm just looking out

for my loved ones, that's all.

Orlando was a loved one to me.

Yes, but you won't go

to the funeral or wake.

Understood?

I don't know how to explain it.

What can I say?

Daniel, you are not going

to the funeral or anywhere else.

Please!

Let us mourn as a family,

like it's meant to be. Don't show up.

I'm asking you as a mother.

Remember, there's

an entire family devastated, in shock.

I'd give my life for my daughter,

if I had to.

MARINA:
Adriana, I want

to apologize for not calling--

CORTES:
Detective Corts.

- Detective.

I want to apologize for not calling

last night, but I was overwhelmed.

- I took sleeping pills.

- Don't worry about it.

Let's go.

This way, please.

[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]

- Will we see Orlando's body?

- No.

I booked a room.

If I'm late, I'll be in trouble.

What do you need?

Well, because you didn't call me...

...I went over our conversation yesterday.

The toxicology test came back positive

for alcohol.

And marijuana.

Where are we going?

We're giving you a physical examination.

No. No way.

It'll take five minutes.

It'll be superficial. Let's go, please.

- But you didn't tell me.

- Marina, I went to see you yesterday.

I was very concerned.

And you said you'd call me after work,

you promised.

And you stood me up, like I was crazy.

I'm sorry, it's just...

I took some pills and fell asleep.

And the marijuana--

I need to confirm

that you don't have any injuries.

- But I don't have any injuries.

- So there's no problem.

What?

Why are you doing this to me?

It's what's done.

It's called a possible injury evaluation."

Well, I refuse.

Fine.

Then I'll ask the district attorney

to open a case...

...on the death of Mr. Onetto.

Look, if we find nothing, this ends here.

You go on with your life.

You decide.

DOCTOR:

I'll close this so you're comfortable.

[VVHISPERING]

Thanks for your help. You saved me.

[WHISPERING]

We're even now, then.

You said his name is Daniel.

How should I treat him?

Don't call her Daniel.

Treat her like a woman.

Ask her what her name is.

But use her female name.

DOCTOR:

What did she do?

CORTES:

I don't know. That's why we're here.

DOCTOR:

Was it something complicated?

[IN NORMAL VOICE]

Right. This way, please.
