such a wicked thing ?

- It makes no sense.

- Things don't always make sense.

Can't you give me another task ?

No.

I will not rape a woman.

That's not who I am.

I found a couple.

They're not really friends,

but I know them well.

They're neighbors,

we've gone on double dates.

It should be easy to break them up.

Why '2

They're on the edge.

They're lifeless, bored,

very polite with each other

but the passion is clearly gone.

- Got a plan ?

- Yes.

His name is Andrea,

he works from home

selling policies online.

I'll go there tomorrow

saying I want a new insurance.

His wife's a teacher,

she won't be home.

And then what?

I'll act interested, provoke him...

Then I'll send him

some texts at night.

I'll invite him over

and make sure his wife finds us.

- Finds you ?

- Yes... in bed.

I don't plan on going

all the way with him.

She just needs to walk in

before we do it, right ?

What matters is

one of the two leaves home.

I'm sure she'll kick him out.

This doesn't bother you ?

No, like I said, they're unhappy.

I'm doing them a favor.

A favor ?

I have news.

Okay.

I went out dancing again

with the friend I want to steal from.

I'm hanging out with her often

so it won't seem odd

when I ask to sleep over.

Anyway, I met a guy at the club.

- A guy ?

- He gave me a pill for free.

He's cute.

I gave him my number.

What does he have to do with it ?

Let me finish telling you !

We went out twice.

He's handsome...

and he's sharp.

He deals LSD.

He's a small-time crook,

he's having money problems.

So I wanted to ask you

if he could help me.

- You decide how to do it.

- Then I will ask him.

- Think he'll do it?

- Yes, it's an easy job.

Since you don't need the money,

I'll give it to him.

Coffee ?

No, thanks.

What ?

I like how you listen to people,

it's impressive.

They really open up to you.

When they leave, they seem...

transfixed.

Transfixed ?

That's an odd word.

Yes.

It just came to me.

I'm working as a barman

by the girl's building.

I've got a perfect view.

- As a barman ?

- Part-time. I get paid peanuts.

- What about your garage ?

- I have a plan...

I follow her to school in the morning,

then go to the garage.

After school, I follow Matilde home

and work at the bar till 8:00 PM.

- So I can keep an eye on her.

- You're getting into it.

I'm not enjoying it,

but at least I'll get Amanda.

Happy to have an objective ?

The outcome is what I want.

Will I need a weapon ?

A weapon ?

You said I have to protect her

from a bad guy.

I never said that.

You never say anything, do you ?

Sly fox...

You're free to back out.

Why are you here ?

- He fled.

- Who ?

The guy I was after

who stole the money.
