What's there for her here, Mum?

What's so terrible about here?

She has her home,

she has you.

She'd be nearby, you'd have each other.

Everything is difficult here,

you need to-

Do you think

it's any different elsewhere?

She should stay and change things!

If they all leave...

We stayed and what did we change,

in the end?

You changed what could be changed.

There, you don't need connections.

She's not the type to tough it out.

And after we're gone...

It's because you babied her.

She's never had to face trouble.

We had our own share of trouble

already.

I should go now.

Anything else you need?

I told you before, but you forgot.

What?

Clear the grass from the grave.

And pour some concrete,

it's cleaner.

Really, Mum...

Please, do it for me.

I can't do it myself anymore.

Fine, I'll see.

You said that already.

I won't forget. Bye.

Take care.

- Lock the door!

- I will.

How is Eliza doing?

So-so.

Thanks for this morning.

That guy's an idiot.

Good thing it worked out.

For her scholarship, she needs...

At least a 9. On average.

This is so stupid.

What?

Nothing.

Tell me.

It's nothing.

My period is 6 days late.

Why that face?

What face?

That one.

I wasn't expecting it.

Why not?

Shall we talk now?

You seem a bit tense.

Good thing you're so calm.

Isn't that Matei?

Yes.

I couldn't leave him home alone.

I'll be off.

Yes, Magda.

She's out, she's with me.

She just got out.

She did well

on what she could finish.

She didn't do the last two questions.

No, not at all.

She just didn't have time.

You can talk to her at home.

Would you talk to Mum?

Mum, I'll call you later, OK?

No, nothing hurts.

I knew the answers but...

I don't know.

No, that wasn't it.

I call you a bit later, Mum,

OK?

Calm down,

it's not the end of the world.

We'll manage, don't worry.

Shall I drive you home?

No, I'm meeting Marius.

Is that a good idea?

I promised.

Thanks.

Sandu!

Yes, I?

- The doctor's here.

- I'm coming.

What are these for?

I had this breakdown...

Because of the divorce?

Maybe.

No idea.

I panicked.

I'd made a mess of my life...

I'd wasted it...

So I went to a doctor

who told me to get these marbles.

Here's one for each day I've lived

and here, there's one

for each day until I retire,

at 65,

unless they change the law again.

So every evening I move one marble

and think a bit.

Was he a doctor or a priest?

A doctor but you know,

that kind of doctor...

The marking scheme for Romanian.

Well done, Sandu!

- One more task.

- Please.

The good doctor here noticed

a surveillance camera at the comer.

- By the school?

- Yes.

Solved. The recording comes today.

Bravo, Sandu.
