Ah, this is the first time that you're coming here?
Ah, okay.
Yeah, it's super new, at last...
It was built four years ago.
Oh, yeah?
You heard talk about this?
By the neighbors?
Yes, well...
You see, with the windows that were giving out on it, there must have been plenty of witnesses.
Yeah, that's...
I didn't think people were talking about it anymore, you know.
No, no, no, no. That was 5-6 years ago.
Yeah, just before they wrecked it. to build the theater.
Did they tell you about the ghost?
Look, I've never seen him!
Yes, yes...
Yeah, they said he killed himself. after in prison, yes...
Me, frankly? I don't know....
Yeah, I know you do.
We don't understand why people don't interfere, that's clear.
But do you know... uh...?
Honestly, I think that everyone must have been scared to death.
You know, you see, violence like that...
and at that time, that day...
Behind those windows, they were just women.
Either single women or women with very young children.
The biggest were at school.
What do you want them to do?
Call the police, but that's all.
Ah no, but it's clear...
Attending the murder of a woman under the blows of her mate...
Yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yes, I do.
They have... They must have arrived 10 minutes later.
Well...
Well, yes... You're not a funny guy!
No, no, no, but of course you're right,
it's better to think about it, even if it's sad.
Better to think about it. than forget about it. That is clear.
Oh, yeah?
Ah well...
Listen...
You're so brave. to tell me that. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your confidence.
Ah? Two years in prison?
And she forgave you?
What about your kids?
