On the Fringe (En los márgenes)

MOM, YOU'RE MY STAR I LOVE YOU

NOTICE TO VACATE UNPAID DEBT

PROPERTY SHALL BE VACATED WITHIN 15 DAYS

When all of this is over, I'll have more free time.

Remember the amniocentesis today at 7:15 p.m.

Should I pick you up?

No need.

Come on, I'll drive you to the hospital and we'll get there early.

What about your meetings, gatherings and stuff to save the world?

I'll call them off.

I will. I'll turn my phone off and spend the afternoon with you.

I'll go shower.

You should've told me I'd have to deal with the pregnancy alone, Rafa.

You're not alone, honey.

I left Raúl's authorization form on the kitchen table.

-Don't forget it, please. -I won't.

I'm going to work.

I love you.

Badia el Hataui?

Police. We need to speak to you.

Badia el Hataui!

Hey, is your mother in?

You speak Spanish, right?

We need to talk to your mother. Do you know when she'll be back?

You cut your hand?

You're alone here?

You are?

Do you have hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, anything?

My partner and I are coming in, and we'll clean that. Okay?

Okay, come here.

You're alone, right?

Are you alone or not? Tell me.

Come, let's get this cleaned up.

Ouch. Stings a bit, right?

-It's empty. -Okay.

Let's dry this up. Okay?

Hold this up and sit down here.

That's it. Good.

What's your name?

Selma.

Selma.

Do you know where your mom is?

No, I don't.

But you saw her this morning, didn't you?

-Tell me. -I don't remember.

-You don't know if you saw her? -No…

Did you see her last night?

I don't know.

-You don't know? -I don't know…

When was the last time you saw her?

I… I don't remember.

Hold it like this. Okay.

When was the last time you saw her?

Let's figure it out together. Okay?

Maybe you saw her two, three or four days ago?

Look at me. Was it two days ago? Three, four?

Help me here. How long ago?

No…

I saw her last night.

You saw her last night?

That's not what you said before.

When did you see her?

In the morning.

In the morning.

You're not lying to me, are you?

You know I'm an officer and you can't lie to me, right?

You have to tell me the truth. You know that, right?

You do?

HQ confirms she has a file open with Social Services.

Okay, call them.

Look. My partner here says

we're not the only ones worried about you.

So here's what we'll do.

You'll come with us.

No, please.

We'll take you to a place where you'll be fine, I promise.

Please, I don't want to go!

-You can't stay here alone. -Please, no!

Selma, please, get off the table.

-No! I don't want to go! -Please, get off the table.

No! What if Mom comes and I'm not here?

-You can't stay here alone. -No!

-It's for your own good. -Please!

-It's for your own good! -Leave me here! No!

-No, come on. Help me. -No.

-You'll love it, it's a nice place. -Please, leave me here. No!

Listen. We have to go. My partner says we have to go.

-No! -Yes. Let's go.

-No! -Yes, we have to go.

-Come on, let's go. -I want to stay with my mom.

-But-- -Please!

Come on, let's go.

-You can't be alone. Let's go. -No!

-I don't want to go! -We'll let you put on the siren.

We'll let her put on the siren in the car, right? It'll be cool.

-I don't like it! -It's really cool. Watch out.

-You'll see, it'll be cool. -No!

-No, I don't want to go! -Come on.

-You'll hurt yourself. -Let's go.

-It's for your own good. -I don't want to. No!

Paty, listen to me. I can't go to the meeting, okay?

But it's fine, you do it.

It's fine. Yeah, it's fine.

You'll be fucking great. What time is Azucena's thing?

I don't know if I'll make it.

Okay. The office is calling. I'll call you later, okay?

Hi, Luis.

Something's come up and I have to cancel it all.

I have to cancel it all.

Shit. Can't it wait?

Can't you take it to the courthouse?

Okay.

Okay. We'll talk later, okay?

C'mon, I'm in a wicked mess.

I have to stop for a sec to give somebody a thing, okay?

Rafa. We won't make it.

-It's one second, it's nearby. -We won't make it.

It's one second. I won't be long.

-I don't want to! -Let's go.

-No! -Come on.

-Leave the girl alone! -I don't want to!

-Rafa, we won't make it. -They need it. I won't be long.

What the fuck, Rafa?

-Let's go. -No!

-I don't want to! -Get inside.

No!

Officers! I know the girl! Wait! Wait!

Fuck!

Fuck!

The number you have dialed does not match any client.

Fuck!

Fuck!

What are you doing?

Fuck!

Rafa, the buses are leaving now.

-Rafa. -OK. Let's go, let's go.

-They'll have gone. -Shit!

DULCE CHACÓN HIGH SCHOOL

-The buses from the excursion? -Long gone.

Thanks a lot, Rafa! Thanks a lot!

-I'm sorry, Raúl. -Yeah, you're real sorry.

Sorry. I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't an emergency.

I've been looking forward to this trip for ages.

Is there no one left who didn't go on the excursion, who had class?

Who? We were all going, we were coming on Friday.

Listen, I've got a lot to do.

I have to do it fast, so you have to come with me.

No, thanks, I'd rather go get my mother.

Your mother's working. You have to come with me.

-Then drop me at home. -I don't have time.

Okay. Forget it, I'll get the metro.

Raúl, listen to me. I don't have time to argue.

I'm not arguing with you. I'll just get the metro.

Shit, Raúl, don't do it to me. I'm in a hurry. Come on…

Listen, I screwed up, totally.

I'm so sorry.

But things are fucked up, they really are.

That girl you saw needs help.

I don't know if the mother's under arrest, losing custody,

-if something's happened to her… -Then go help her.

I can't if I know you're alone.

I'm always alone. Don't shit me.

But all day I'm thinking you're in trouble,

drinking beer, smoking dope, or…

-I don't smoke dope. -I saw a block of hash in your room.

It wasn't mine.

I'm just asking you to stay out of trouble.

-Not today. -Okay.

-"Okay," no. -Leave me alone!

Fuck.

-Fuck. -Wait.

Listen, listen, listen.

I'll give you money.

-What? -I'll pay you.

Every 45 minutes, 4 euros.

That sucks.

Your mother's the one with the money.

-3. -5.

Okay.

What's this?

Fuck.

Don't drag your bag.

Look at it! Don't drag your bag. Shit!

What do you want?

Come on, you'll be late.

Azucena.

Hold up.

I won't tie you up.

I found out about your thing tomorrow.

You've got my number, right?

-For anything you need… -This one, right?

-Thanks a lot, really. -Don't mention it. Call me, OK?

-Okay. -Chin up!

-Anything else? -No, nothing else.

It says you can't get it not for two weeks, Teodora.

Yes, I looked at home and I can't find them.

The doctor prescribed this.

-My head's a mess. -Relax, that happens.

Weren't you getting the girl?

Yes, later. I've got this first.
