Original Sin Page #4

We do?

Yes...

...a genuine private investigator...

...all the way from Delaware.

So, Emily sent him.

Yeah. Detective Downs.

Detective Downs, did you say?

Don't worry,|he only needs to see that you're well...

...and happy and truly my wife.

-Then this nonsense is over.|-When will that damn bird stop screaming?

Julia.

Careful, it's coming.

Oh, no.

Don Luis, look. He's dead.

He was just singing.

He's not singing now, is he?

Looks like he got his little neck broken.

Take him away.|I don't want Julia to see him.

How does a person die on this instrument?

I believe that...

...the turning of the wheel|breaks one's neck.

And if it doesn't?

Does one then strangle?

Are you afraid?

No.

Julia is not afraid.

But Bonny is.

I don't understand. Who is Bonny?

Who is Bonny?

I'm looking for Mr. Vargas.

Thatis a question|Luis would soon be asking.

Mr. Vargas?

My name is Russell.

Emily Russell.

I am Julia's sister.

So you understand how upset I was|to receive this letter.

Upset?

But...l thought you would be pleased|to receive it.

This letter, sir...

...written in answer to the one I last sent...

...and which is signed in her name...

...is not from Julia.

Of course it is.

I mailed it myself.

It was not written by my sister.

Miss Russell.

I'm sorry.

Don't be upset. I swear to you--

Swear as much as you like.

That is not Julia's handwriting.

That is the handwriting of a stranger.

A person unknown.

At least to me.

-Where is she?|-I was going to send for you.

Where is she?

Go away. Get out!

Where did she go?

I don't know. She sent me to|the post office. When I come back--

She's not coming back, is she, Sara?

She never was here.

You've been married to a dream.

A dream that stole your soul.

Luis! What is it?

Your wife appeared at five minutes to|three for a last-minute withdrawal.

As you instructed,|I gave her full access to your accounts.

Your balance at closing was...

...51 American dollars and 40 cents|in one account...

...ten dollars in the other.

As I explained to your wife,|to close both out completely...

...your signature|would have been necessary.

I'm sorry.

Don Luis?

God must have been angry with you|that day...

...he let you look in that woman's face.

I want her back. Sara...

...l want her back.

No, cario. What for?

What for you want her back again?

No, this is not a love story.

Butitis a story aboutlove.

about those who give in to it,|and the price they pay.

and those who run away from it|because they are afraid...

...or because they do not believe|they are worthy ofit.

She ran away.

He gave in.

Mr. Vargas?

Walter Downs.

What a happy coincidence.

Oh, yeah.
