Where are you going?

He'll figure it out.

What are you doing?

We had an accident, okay?

- We had an accident?

- Follow my lead.

Hello.

Need any help?

What happened?

I skidded and hit him,

but we're just trading details.

Do you need an ambulance?

No, really, we're fine.

Thanks.

Are you sure?

It must be the insurance company.

I'll be right back.

Hey.

A good scare?

A deer ran in front of us

and I'm still shaky.

Hello?

Hello. Yes, we called.

- Are you sure?

- Thank you.

How long will it be?

Okay. Thanks. 'Bye.

It's all sorted.

I'm glad nobody got hurt.

Thanks.

- See you.

- See you.

- What if he saw something?

- He didn't.

He stopped,

he could've seen the kid.

- We have to get rid of him.

- Are you crazy?

There's a witness.

If we leave him here,

he'll know we lied.

Please.

It's best if I stay here

and send for help.

You take care of the body.

What do I do with him?

I don't know.

But we have to get rid

of everything, okay?

And then, if you want,

we can stop seeing each other.

It's over.

I drove for nearly an hour.

And all I could think about

was why I was there

instead of with my family.

If I hadn't been with Laura,

if we hadn't overslept,

if I hadn't taken the detour,

that deer would never have

crossed my path.

Ever.

What did you do with the car?

I buried it.

The kid too?

I kept hearing Laura's words

in my head.

It was an accident.

We couldn't do anything for that kid.

He had no future. We did.

We did.

He was like one of those blotches,

and I had to look at it like that

to keep from going insane.

What then?

I called Laura with a prepaid

phone card and told her where I was.

We always used them

to talk to each other.

It was horrible.

What happened?

Hello, my car broke down.

No, I'm fine,

but I need a tow truck.

Yes.

Where am I?

- Hello.

- Hello. Everything alright?

Yes, a deer ran in front of me,

but I'm fine, thanks.

You're lucky.

You could've died.

It won't start.

The engine won't start.

I called road assistance

but they're overrun.

Everything has a solution.

I know these cars in and out,

they're good machines.

What a coincidence.

I was an engineer at

their Spanish factory years ago.

Toms Garrido.

I've got a garage now.

Nice to meet you.

- I need to get to Barcelona.

- Got a flashlight?

It's my sister's car.

She lent it to me and I don't know...

Don't worry. I'll get mine.

It's the starter system.

The engine sensor's probably

stuck on "stop".

If the impact didn't damage

anything else,

you just reconnect the control

module and reset it.

The rest looks alright.

If you want, I can tow it

to my house

and fix it there.

If you prefer,

I'll call a tow truck
