Speaker A
You said that yesterday, too. Something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. Just leave me alone.
Speaker A
No. You came home angry again. I had a bad day. That's all.
Speaker A
A bad day at work?
Speaker A
Yes, work was terrible.
Speaker A
Then why did Dad call your office this afternoon?
Speaker A
What? Why did he call there?
Speaker A
He wanted to speak to you. He shouldn't call me at work.
Speaker A
Mark, they told him something strange.
Speaker A
Lisa, stay out of this. They said you don't work there anymore.
Speaker A
What exactly did Dad tell you?
Speaker A
He asked me if I knew anything.
Speaker A
And what did you say?
Speaker A
I said you go to work every morning.
Speaker A
Good. Keep saying that.
Speaker A
Wait. Are you asking me to lie?
Speaker A
I'm asking you to give me some time.
Speaker A
Mark, did you lose your job?
Speaker A
Keep your voice down.
Speaker A
So, it's true.
Speaker A
I said keep your voice down.
Speaker A
How long have you been hiding this?
Speaker A
I don't want to discuss it.
Speaker A
Mom thinks you're working every day.
Speaker A
I know what Mom thinks.
Speaker A
And Dad thinks you're helping with the bills.
Speaker A
Stop questioning me.
Speaker A
Then tell me the truth.
Speaker A
I lost my job three weeks ago.
Speaker A
Three weeks? Where do you go every morning?
Speaker A
That is none of your business.
Speaker A
Mark, I'm trying to help you.
Speaker A
I don't need your help. Just leave me alone.
Speaker A
Fine, but Dad already knows something is wrong.
Speaker A
What do you mean?
Speaker A
He's waiting for you upstairs.
Speaker A
Close the door, Mark.
Speaker A
Dad, I'm tired. Can we talk tomorrow?
Speaker A
No. Sit down. What happened?
Speaker A
I called your office today.
Speaker A
Lisa already told me.
Speaker A
Then you know what I'm going to ask.
Speaker A
Dad, please don't start.
Speaker A
Where is your job, Mark?
Speaker A
I lost it.
Speaker A
When?
Speaker A
Three weeks ago.
Speaker A
Three weeks?
Speaker A
Yes.
Speaker A
And you said nothing to us?
Speaker A
I was going to tell you.
Speaker A
When? Next month?
Speaker A
I needed time to fix it myself.
Speaker A
You left this house every morning.
Speaker A
I was looking for another job.
Speaker A
Then why did you lie to your mother?
Speaker A
Because Mom worries about everything.
Speaker A
Your mother deserves the truth.
Speaker A
I didn't want to scare her.
Speaker A
What about the money you gave us last week?
Speaker A
What about it?
Speaker A
You said it was your salary.
Speaker A
Dad, please. Where did that money come from?
Speaker A
It was my money.
Speaker A
From where?
Speaker A
Why does everything become an interrogation with you?
Speaker A
Because you are hiding something.
Speaker A
I'm trying to handle my own life.
Speaker A
This isn't only your life. You live in this house.
Speaker A
I know that.
Speaker A
We depend on your help with the bills.
Speaker A
And I'm trying.
Speaker A
Trying what?
Speaker A
Trying to keep this family from falling apart.
Speaker A
Don't raise your voice at me.
Speaker A
Then stop treating me like a child.
Speaker A
Tell me where that money came from.
Speaker A
I borrowed it.
Speaker A
From whom?
Speaker A
Leave me alone, Dad.
Speaker A
Mark, come back here.
Speaker A
I said leave me alone.
Speaker A
Fine. Walk away, but tomorrow I want the whole truth.
Speaker A
You may not like the truth when you hear it.
Speaker A
Lisa, what happened upstairs?
Speaker A
Dad and Mark had an argument.
Speaker A
I heard Mark shouting.
Speaker A
Mom, sit down for a minute.
Speaker A
Why?
Speaker A
You're making me nervous.
Speaker A
There's something you should know.
Speaker A
Is Mark in trouble?
Speaker A
He lost his job.
Speaker A
What?
Speaker A
He lost it three weeks ago.
Speaker A
Three weeks ago?
Speaker A
Yes.
Speaker A
But he leaves for work every morning.
Speaker A
He was pretending.
Speaker A
Why would he do that?
Speaker A
He didn't want us to worry.
Speaker A
That doesn't make sense.
Speaker A
I think there's more.
Speaker A
More? What do you mean?
Speaker A
Dad asked about the money Mark gave us.
Speaker A
His salary?
Speaker A
It wasn't his salary.
Speaker A
Then where did he get it?
Speaker A
He said he borrowed it.
Speaker A
From whom?
Speaker A
He wouldn't say.
Speaker A
Oh, Mark, what have you done?
Speaker A
Mom, don't panic yet.
Speaker A
How can I not panic?
Speaker A
We need to hear the whole story first.
Speaker A
Your father will make this worse.
Speaker A
Dad is angry because Mark lied.
Speaker A
Your father doesn't know how to talk when he's angry.
Speaker A
Mark doesn't either.
Speaker A
Did Mark say anything else?
Speaker A
He told Dad he might not like the truth.
Speaker A
That sounds serious.
Speaker A
I know.
Speaker A
Should I talk to Mark?
Speaker A
Not tonight.
Speaker A
But he's my son.
Speaker A
He keeps saying, "Leave me alone."
Speaker A
Sometimes people say that when they need someone most.
Speaker A
Maybe, but pushing him won't help.
Speaker A
Lisa, I'm scared.
Speaker A
I am, too.
Speaker A
There's something else you don't know.
Speaker A
What?
Speaker A
A woman came here yesterday asking for Mark.
Speaker A
Emma?
Speaker A
What are you doing here?
Speaker A
I came because you stopped answering my calls.
Speaker A
You shouldn't have come here.
Speaker A
Why?
Speaker A
Are you hiding from me, too?
Speaker A
Keep your voice down.
Speaker A
I've been calling you for two days.
Speaker A
I needed some space.
Speaker A
You always need space when there's a problem.
Speaker A
Not now, Emma.
Speaker A
Then when?
Speaker A
My family knows about my job.
Speaker A
Finally.
Speaker A
Don't say it like that.
Speaker A
Mark, you lied to them for three weeks.
Speaker A
I was trying to protect them.
Speaker A
No, you were scared.
Speaker A
You don't understand my father.
Speaker A
I understand more than you think.
Speaker A
Did you come here yesterday?
Speaker A
Yes.
Speaker A
My mother saw you.
Speaker A
I asked for you.
Speaker A
That's all.
Speaker A
You could have called me.
Speaker A
You weren't answering.
Speaker A
I said I needed time.
Speaker A
And I need my money back.
Speaker A
Emma, please.
Speaker A
You said you would return it this week.
Speaker A
I know what I said.
Speaker A
That was my savings, Mark.
Speaker A
I used it for my family.
Speaker A
Without telling me the truth.
Speaker A
I told you I needed help.
Speaker A
You said it was for one month's rent.
Speaker A
It was.
Speaker A
Then why did you borrow more money?
Speaker A
Who told you that?
Speaker A
Someone called me yesterday.
Speaker A
Who?
Speaker A
A man named Daniel?
Speaker A
Daniel called you?
Speaker A
Yes, and he sounded angry.
Speaker A
Emma, listen carefully.
Speaker A
Don't answer him again.
Speaker A
Why?
Speaker A
Who is he?
Speaker A
Just leave it alone.
Speaker A
No, tell me what's happening.
Speaker A
Emma, please leave me alone.
Speaker A
Fine, but Daniel said he's coming to your house tonight.
Speaker A
Mark, what are you looking for?
Speaker A
Nothing.
