Adela

You didn't miss home much.

I missed being free, but this place...

As the preventive arrest was not extended, they don't have enough proof.

And they will not have any. I'm innocent.

Everything is circumstantial.

The accusations are based on a preliminary report.

Until the final report comes out, they can't start the trial procedures.

You know, I don't really care.

Let them do what they want.

We can't risk your going to court. You're a public figure.

It has been enough noise as it is.

We tried to declare in your favour,

but Lucian didn't want anything official from the channel.

It doesn't matter.

Aren't you coming in?

No. I have to go to the forensic to get some copies of the toxicological report.

I'll visit my folks.

Good.

Thank you for being near me.

Don't worry, with the family... Mihai will take care of you.

Yes. And this is...

Lucian's office.

It was Paul's.

We have come here before.

When are you taking me to the studio?

Well, we're live now, I can't. Later on, if you want...

Good.

OK.

- And what will you do? - Anything.

No. What do you want to work?

Anything?

We don't have "Anything".

Look.

I know I'm just a trust-fund girl to you,

who wants to come to job just to post a story,

but I really mean it when I say "anything".

Really, I can even make coffee till I learn, I'm not ashamed.

Well!

A short espresso?

Hello!

I see some familiar faces.

What are you doing here?

As I inherit some stocks, I said...

to see what's about. It was time.

What stocks?

From father Anghel.

I... Lucian told me to claim it since it is my right.

- Lucian! - Normally.

He's not giving them himself.

Oh my!

Did you call me?

- You scared me so! - What are you doing here?

I came to see my girl. What, am I not allowed?

What's with that bell?

Well, this...

I saw there was dust and a new bell here!

Yes, the old one is gone. Do you know anything about it?

What are you insinuating?

I say it to your face. You're a thief.

Do you steal from the dead woman? Aren'y you ashamed?

Do you steal from the dead, jerk!

What's with these lies, Floarea?

You! You stole!

You're a thief and you blame me... Go to hell!

Nuța, look at me.

If I see you one more time uninvited in this house, I'll tell everything.

And now enough, go!

To whom do you say "go"?

To you! Go where you came from!

- Go to hell... - Leave the bell!

You poor thing!

- Hello. - Hello.

- I have good news. - For me?

Yes.

They released Paul.

And Mihai is doing his best not to go to trial.

Aren't you glad?

Yes, for him.

Ana, what is it?

I have the feeling I lost the war, not just one battle.

Why do you say this?

This month, Andrea didn't come by; not even once.

She's seeing Nuți in her room

and I can't go there because of Martha.

All I can do is stay and wait.

You had better let me go.

Andrea will come back to you.

When she finds out what Martha did.

- No, she won't find out. - How is it possible?

Because I won't tell her. And please don't tell her.

- Ana, but I have to... - Please, Adela!

- I don't want Andrea to know. - Why?

Because she loves that family.

All that she wants is to be part of that family.

And if I tell her what Martha did,

she'll only think I want to take revenge and ruin her dream.

But maybe this way she'll see the truth.

The truth is my daughter wants to be a member of the Andronic family.

She wants money, a social position and I can't offer her this.

If I try to take her from there,

she'll hate me even more,

if it's possible.

No, you have to tell her.

Yes, I think you have to tell her the truth.

This way she'll realize whom she has to choose.

Adela, please.

OK, but only because you ask me.

It's a good thing you came out. We have to talk.

Wait, take me easy as I'm pretty tired.

One cannot sleep too well at the hotel I stayed.

Welcome. Do you want me to hold you, as well?

- Don't I deserve it? - Come on!

Come.

- Say it! - Well, Floppy wants to go to court.

To get his name and our stocks be shared among the three of us.

And guess who's helping him.

Don't tell me! Lucian.

Yes, the nephew.

And this cannot be that there'll be nothing left for us.

You've already given 5% to Mihai, I'll lose some with the division

and we'll never have the majority.

Is this what we want?

What?

I'm quite tired.

Do you want us to struggle like this all our lives?

Shouldn't we better sell it all and live in peace?

Hear, my brother?

I know you stayed all by yourself for a month and had the time

to meditate and philosophize about life and happiness

and other such nonsense, but you're home now.

So go upstairs and preen,

and when you come downstairs, be the Paul I know.

Understood?

Good.

I'm glad you remained unchanged.

And I am glad to see you!

Come on, harder! Harder,as we don't have servants like our neighbours.

- Move! - Let me be, woman!

Leave me as I can't take it anymore!

What is it, the girl?

Are you worried? Is she having the baby? Was the baby baptized and you missed it?

As I know you can't even look at her!

I can't look at neither of you two anymore!

- What, are we shining? - I know how many bad things you did!

- But enough, it's over! - What are you saying?

- They'll find out! - No, the won't.

They won't find out that the doctor vanished! It'll be forgotten.

They'll find out we switched the girls.

And we'll go to jail!

Only for this?

- Well, everything will come out! - They won't find anything!

Listen.

Even if they find out, let them take Adela!

What matters is that we remain here.

Woman, are you sane?

Well, let the smart ones handle it!

No, you'll tell...

Listen what I say, as I'm a smart woman!

You stay and do nothing!

Come on!

Hello!

Is Ana Maria around here?

I have no idea.

I don't know, I'm trying not to see her,

but she jumps out like that!

What do you want from?

Paul came back and I thought she would be glad to find out.

Paul came back and she has to run to him

like a maiden. I love you, yes, yes.

You can't understand what love is!

Look who's talking, you're here and your man washes cars

and who knows what else...

Are you trying to make me jealous?

Well, I'm divorcing, you know.

I was only trying to say this:

Go to hell!

You go to hell!

Sometimes I forget how mean you are.

Mind my hitting you with the rake in the head!

Hello.

I'm the lawyer Mihai Popa. I came for Mona Andronic's toxicological report.

Hello? The toxicological report for Mrs. Mona Andronic.

Yes, yes. Alright. I'll be right there.

- Please, wait there. - Thank you.

Hello, doctor!

- How was your vacation? - Great. I'll go again.

- When are you leaving? - In a few days.

Are you still on leave?

No. I came to resign. I'll leave for good.

- I'm sorry. - I'm not.

God!

God, Paul!

I'm so glad you came out!

Why didn't you say anything, I would have sent Ilie to get you.

Do you see what you've done?

Lucian supports Floppy now so that he should take our stocks.

Can I hold my son before he starts reproaching me?

You wanted so strongly to punish us, now look what's happening.

- See what's happening? - I know, but it's not all my fault.

It's not, mother, it's not.
