discovered in a Madrid kindergarten.

Children's ages vary from three to six.

Whereabouts still unknown

of parricide Joaquin Garcia.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

With you, Andrea Scarf ace,

presenting, exclusively,

"Today's Worst".

Before presenting our first guest,

a review of footage

I filmed one month ago.

Warning:
it'll shock your sensibility,

if you still have any.

Why did your daughter kill herself?

Leave me alone.

Was she happy?

How was her family environment?

It was hell!

It was my husband's fault.

He raped her.

Did you report him?

We wanted him to leave us alone,

stop making our life impossible.

We're separating.

What're you doing here?

Despite the police's efforts,

Joaquin Garcia still runs free.

Our sponsor, Royal Milk,

offers a 10 million pesetas reward

to whoever gives a viable tip

of his whereabouts.

Please, abstain from calling

if unsure of information.

Since we cannot, at this time,

speak with Joaquin Garcia,

tonight

we'll do it with the woman

who knows him best.

His mother.

She deserves it.

Good evening, Angelina.

Nervous?

A little.

Good.

Tell me,

so the public can be aware...

Your son killed his wife

and raped his daughter.

Did he have abnormal instincts

as a child?

Did he try to kill you,

perhaps rape you

at any time?

He was a good child.

A biz' of a rascal,

but I never thought he '0' get t0 this.

I'm his mother and

I don't think he did it.

He didn't?

You know I have it on film.

Well, I don't believe it.

No?

His wife cannot agree with you

because she lies in the cemetery.

"Dear Ramn,

I'm leaving.

You won't understand.

And hope you never will.

It would mean

you're as desperate as I am.

Don't blame Nicholas.

Life with him is unbearable,

but I don't want another.

Don't bear him a grudge.

Forgive me for not having cared

enough about you,

but pain makes you selfish,

it absorbs you totally.

What are you doing?

Wondering whether Mother

wanted me to help Nicholas.

She didn't want you

to bear him a grudge.

I feel uncomfortable knowing

he's penniless in a hotel,

though he brought it onto himself.

Mind if I move him upstairs?

A few weeks, till he finds something.

Of course not!

And your studio?

I'll rent a room and move.

That's a good idea.

Oh, the chest!

I'll move it out.

No, I like it.

I'll move my things today.

This is your room.

The bathroom's in there.

Not very luxurious...

I've been in worst places.

At some point

we should discuss Casa Youkali.

Youkali's the only thing I have.

Half of Youkali, you mean.

Yes, of course.

You don't use it.

Pass the other one.

Think we should sell it?

I don't know.

Let me think it over.

You know how much it's worth!
