Trust Game

How are you? How do you feel?

Do you need anything?

- Are you a doctor? - No. I'm a criminal psychologist.

I get it. You want to find out if I'm crazy.

I just want to talk.

I gave a full statement. What more do you want to know?

Just treat our conversation as a job interview.

But we'll talk about your personal experience instead.

Thoughts, feelings, memories...

Everything that seems important and that can help us

understanding the circumstances.

So what's the verdict?

About what?

Do I have a chance to win?

This conversation won't change my opinion.

But that's not important. It can change your future.

And the child's future.

Yes, you can win. If you trust me.

- How much time do you have? - As much as you need.

My mother showed me the Trust Game. I was a child back then...

TRUST GAME

Are you ready?

I am.

- Are you scared? - No.

- Why? - Because I trust you.

- Why do you trust me? - Because I know you love me.

- And you won't hurt me. - Good.

Take a step back.

Are you scared now?

No.

- Why? - Because I trust you.

- And... - And I know you won't hurt me.

Take another step back.

Listen to my voice, Elly. Don't be scared.

Take a step back.

Well done, my brave girl! Take off the scarf.

Turn around carefully.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Look!

It's like flying.

How did I do, Mom?

You were great!

I'm your best friend, Elena.

I love you more than anything.

I know, Mom.

My Mom didn't marry my Dad for love. She was pregnant.

It was the right thing to do.

Back then you had to do the right thing to be socially acceptable.

- Where have you been, Stefan? - Not now, Mother.

Dearly beloved! Dear relatives and guests.

For the marriage to be valid you have to confirm...

Could you make it shorter?

The strange thing is that my Mom never did the right thing.

Just like me.

- Where did she disappear? - Who?

- Yana. - Forget that bitch!

- Why? - Because she cheated on me.

- No way! She cheated on you? - Yes! With some redheaded slut.

- The ultimate cliché! - But were you official?

Of course! We slept together. This counts!

- This is not a relationship. - It was a relationship!

- Excuse me... - You're not excused.

- Is the white 'Peugeot' yours? - Yes. Why?

- It was hit. - What?

- Somebody hit your car. - Who?

- How should I know! - I have to go.

I'll get the check. Excuse me!

- It's all right. - Sorry?

The car is fine. I wanted to be alone with you.

I could have gone with her.

Then I would follow you and put you in my car's trunk.

- Like a psychopath. - So scary!

- Now what? - Now we'll have dinner.

But this place is too noisy and... The victim will come back any minute.

Now or never!

I was sure that I knew everything. That nothing can surprise me.

And then I met Kamen.

My life changed completely.

He was not like any other man. He adored me.

We moved out of Sofia.

I didn't mind. All I wanted was to be with Kamen.

Our house was big and beautiful.

Not a house... A mountain palace. And I was the queen.

Do you like it?

It's fantastic!

Kamen convinced me to quit work. He satisfied my every whim.

Yes... I was happier than ever.

What went wrong?

Everything in my life was wrong from the beginning.

Hi!

Take her home. She's hungry.

Come here, Elly!

Come, my girl!

Well done, my girl!

She's still hungry.

You're right.

- Do you need anything? - No, thanks.

You are doing this on purpose.

- What? - You want me to lose my cool.

I want to take care of my daughter as I see fit.

Your daughter has a father. Does he agree with what you do?

You are afraid that Elena will grow up to be like me.

I know what you are, girl. You may think you are somebody,

but you're nobody without Stefan. Don't forget that!

Before it's too late.

We'll manage without them.

- You think she's right? - Of course she's right.

She's not right! She's evil. Don't even think about it.

- I can't manage by myself. - You take care of Elly.

It's normal for him to make the money.

Is it normal for me to ignore all his hoity-toity sluts?

Why did you marry him?

I wanted him to give her a good life. He ruined mine.

I don't want me and Elena to depend on Stefan and his fucking money.

- I need a job. - You can't work with Elly. No way!

There's always a way.

I can ask my mother if they need people at the factory.

I need something better than the factory.

I'll get a university degree.

I want him to...

'Every woman defines herself in comparison to her mother.

The mother is the matrix...'

- How was work? - As always.

- Sushi? - Every day!

Again...

It's good for you.

- Want some whisky? - Yes.

Dara!

Hello? Hi! Sorry... I'm eating.

No, we are at home.

Kamen's favorite Sushi.

For real?

So they liked everything?

You are the best!

Thank you very much! I don't know what to say.

All right... We'll talk when I see you

All right... I love you.

Good night.

- Guess what. - I can't.

- Dara got me an interview at 'Tikket'. - What's 'Tikket'?

The magazine! She thinks that I can be their new chief editor.

- Since when do you need a job? - I don't.

People need me.

Can I have my whisky?

The interview is next week. I don't know much more.

Dara will brief me at the birthday party.

- What birthday party? - Dara's. It's Saturday.

She invited us a month ago.

I remember. I just forgot that it's this Saturday.

Do you have work to do?

I can go by myself. No problem.

Work has nothing to do with it.

You and me have other plans.

Monaco?

Just you and me. And no Sushi!

What do you think?

- Fantastic! Let's change the dates. - I already bought the plane tickets.

But...

- It's Dara's birthday. - You'll celebrate it the next weekend.

It's always 'the next weekend'.

Since we moved here I don't see her at all.

I don't see anybody.

I'm here.

Are we going to Monaco?

- Will we go on a yacht? - For sure!

- Let's go. - Nice.

Relax a little.

You were late. Now I'm late because of you.

Don't worry! They'll wait.

It's not funny, baby. This interview is important.

What's important about it?

There are other important things besides your work.

I'm going crazy alone at home. I feel like a prisoner.

- You need some hobbies. - Please stop talking! Now!

Fine.

- Stop! This is not the way. - You trust me, don't you?

- What do you think? - I don't know. About what?

About your new car?

- It's mine? - This is the reason I was late.

- It's fantastic, baby! - Now you can go wherever you want.

And whenever you want.

But if you're not back home before midnight the car turns into a pumpkin.

- I'm very mad! - But not as mad as you were, right?

I'll find out after I take it for a drive.

Check my inside pocket.

Baby...

Congratulations for the degree.

But I think a woman should know her place.

And where is the woman's place?

Her place is to be a good mother and a homemaker.

It's nature's law, not mine.

So a woman is a baby machine? You are the gods, we are the slaves?

I didn't say exactly that.

Well I hyperbolized a bit but I got the gist.

Stefan...

- What's your opinion? - About what?

Me and Danny are talking about a woman's place in society.

Go talk to the other girls.

Go and get me another whisky.

All right, all right! Danny...
