00:02

Speaker A

Mark, where have you been all day? Lisa, please. I don't want to talk right now.

00:10

Speaker A

You said that yesterday, too. Something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. Just leave me alone.

00:18

Speaker A

No. You came home angry again. I had a bad day. That's all.

00:28

Speaker A

A bad day at work?

00:39

Speaker A

Yes, work was terrible.

00:49

Speaker A

Then why did Dad call your office this afternoon?

00:59

Speaker A

What? Why did he call there?

01:08

Speaker A

He wanted to speak to you. He shouldn't call me at work.

01:18

Speaker A

Mark, they told him something strange.

01:29

Speaker A

Lisa, stay out of this. They said you don't work there anymore.

01:39

Speaker A

What exactly did Dad tell you?

01:48

Speaker A

He asked me if I knew anything.

01:59

Speaker A

And what did you say?

02:09

Speaker A

I said you go to work every morning.

02:20

Speaker A

Good. Keep saying that.

02:33

Speaker A

Wait. Are you asking me to lie?

02:42

Speaker A

I'm asking you to give me some time.

02:55

Speaker A

Mark, did you lose your job?

03:06

Speaker A

Keep your voice down.

03:16

Speaker A

So, it's true.

03:26

Speaker A

I said keep your voice down.

03:36

Speaker A

How long have you been hiding this?

03:47

Speaker A

I don't want to discuss it.

04:00

Speaker A

Mom thinks you're working every day.

04:08

Speaker A

I know what Mom thinks.

04:18

Speaker A

And Dad thinks you're helping with the bills.

04:29

Speaker A

Stop questioning me.

04:39

Speaker A

Then tell me the truth.

04:50

Speaker A

I lost my job three weeks ago.

05:02

Speaker A

Three weeks? Where do you go every morning?

05:12

Speaker A

That is none of your business.

05:26

Speaker A

Mark, I'm trying to help you.

05:41

Speaker A

I don't need your help. Just leave me alone.

05:54

Speaker A

Fine, but Dad already knows something is wrong.

06:06

Speaker A

What do you mean?

06:18

Speaker A

He's waiting for you upstairs.

06:29

Speaker A

Close the door, Mark.

06:41

Speaker A

Dad, I'm tired. Can we talk tomorrow?

06:51

Speaker A

No. Sit down. What happened?

07:05

Speaker A

I called your office today.

07:14

Speaker A

Lisa already told me.

07:27

Speaker A

Then you know what I'm going to ask.

07:39

Speaker A

Dad, please don't start.

07:48

Speaker A

Where is your job, Mark?

07:57

Speaker A

I lost it.

08:08

Speaker A

When?

08:20

Speaker A

Three weeks ago.

08:29

Speaker A

Three weeks?

08:38

Speaker A

Yes.

08:49

Speaker A

And you said nothing to us?

08:57

Speaker A

I was going to tell you.

09:06

Speaker A

When? Next month?

09:14

Speaker A

I needed time to fix it myself.

09:22

Speaker A

You left this house every morning.

09:35

Speaker A

I was looking for another job.

09:47

Speaker A

Then why did you lie to your mother?

09:56

Speaker A

Because Mom worries about everything.

10:11

Speaker A

Your mother deserves the truth.

10:21

Speaker A

I didn't want to scare her.

10:34

Speaker A

What about the money you gave us last week?

10:52

Speaker A

What about it?

11:03

Speaker A

You said it was your salary.

11:15

Speaker A

Dad, please. Where did that money come from?

11:29

Speaker A

It was my money.

11:39

Speaker A

From where?

11:51

Speaker A

Why does everything become an interrogation with you?

12:02

Speaker A

Because you are hiding something.

12:16

Speaker A

I'm trying to handle my own life.

12:24

Speaker A

This isn't only your life. You live in this house.

12:36

Speaker A

I know that.

12:46

Speaker A

We depend on your help with the bills.

12:57

Speaker A

And I'm trying.

13:08

Speaker A

Trying what?

13:20

Speaker A

Trying to keep this family from falling apart.

13:37

Speaker A

Don't raise your voice at me.

13:53

Speaker A

Then stop treating me like a child.

14:05

Speaker A

Tell me where that money came from.

14:20

Speaker A

I borrowed it.

14:34

Speaker A

From whom?

14:44

Speaker A

Leave me alone, Dad.

14:53

Speaker A

Mark, come back here.

15:11

Speaker A

I said leave me alone.

15:21

Speaker A

Fine. Walk away, but tomorrow I want the whole truth.

15:29

Speaker A

You may not like the truth when you hear it.

15:40

Speaker A

Lisa, what happened upstairs?

15:51

Speaker A

Dad and Mark had an argument.

16:01

Speaker A

I heard Mark shouting.

16:15

Speaker A

Mom, sit down for a minute.

16:24

Speaker A

Why?

16:33

Speaker A

You're making me nervous.

16:45

Speaker A

There's something you should know.

16:54

Speaker A

Is Mark in trouble?

17:02

Speaker A

He lost his job.

17:12

Speaker A

What?

17:23

Speaker A

He lost it three weeks ago.

17:31

Speaker A

Three weeks ago?

17:43

Speaker A

Yes.

17:53

Speaker A

But he leaves for work every morning.

18:04

Speaker A

He was pretending.

18:15

Speaker A

Why would he do that?

18:27

Speaker A

He didn't want us to worry.

18:37

Speaker A

That doesn't make sense.

18:51

Speaker A

I think there's more.

19:02

Speaker A

More? What do you mean?

19:15

Speaker A

Dad asked about the money Mark gave us.

19:22

Speaker A

His salary?

19:31

Speaker A

It wasn't his salary.

19:42

Speaker A

Then where did he get it?

19:53

Speaker A

He said he borrowed it.

20:09

Speaker A

From whom?

20:20

Speaker A

He wouldn't say.

20:31

Speaker A

Oh, Mark, what have you done?

20:42

Speaker A

Mom, don't panic yet.

20:54

Speaker A

How can I not panic?

21:02

Speaker A

We need to hear the whole story first.

21:17

Speaker A

Your father will make this worse.

21:30

Speaker A

Dad is angry because Mark lied.

21:41

Speaker A

Your father doesn't know how to talk when he's angry.

21:54

Speaker A

Mark doesn't either.

22:02

Speaker A

Did Mark say anything else?

22:10

Speaker A

He told Dad he might not like the truth.

22:19

Speaker A

That sounds serious.

22:28

Speaker A

I know.

22:40

Speaker A

Should I talk to Mark?

22:53

Speaker A

Not tonight.

23:02

Speaker A

But he's my son.

23:13

Speaker A

He keeps saying, "Leave me alone."

23:23

Speaker A

Sometimes people say that when they need someone most.

23:34

Speaker A

Maybe, but pushing him won't help.

23:46

Speaker A

Lisa, I'm scared.

23:57

Speaker A

I am, too.

24:10

Speaker A

There's something else you don't know.

24:22

Speaker A

What?

24:32

Speaker A

A woman came here yesterday asking for Mark.

24:41

Speaker A

Emma?

24:51

Speaker A

What are you doing here?

25:02

Speaker A

I came because you stopped answering my calls.

25:11

Speaker A

You shouldn't have come here.

25:19

Speaker A

Why?

25:27

Speaker A

Are you hiding from me, too?

25:36

Speaker A

Keep your voice down.

25:49

Speaker A

I've been calling you for two days.

25:59

Speaker A

I needed some space.

26:08

Speaker A

You always need space when there's a problem.

26:21

Speaker A

Not now, Emma.

26:29

Speaker A

Then when?

26:37

Speaker A

My family knows about my job.

26:48

Speaker A

Finally.

26:58

Speaker A

Don't say it like that.

27:07

Speaker A

Mark, you lied to them for three weeks.

27:17

Speaker A

I was trying to protect them.

27:28

Speaker A

No, you were scared.

27:35

Speaker A

You don't understand my father.

27:48

Speaker A

I understand more than you think.

27:59

Speaker A

Did you come here yesterday?

28:08

Speaker A

Yes.

28:19

Speaker A

My mother saw you.

28:31

Speaker A

I asked for you.

28:42

Speaker A

That's all.

28:50

Speaker A

You could have called me.

28:59

Speaker A

You weren't answering.

29:07

Speaker A

I said I needed time.

29:14

Speaker A

And I need my money back.

29:23

Speaker A

Emma, please.

29:36

Speaker A

You said you would return it this week.

29:45

Speaker A

I know what I said.

29:57

Speaker A

That was my savings, Mark.

30:07

Speaker A

I used it for my family.

30:21

Speaker A

Without telling me the truth.

30:30

Speaker A

I told you I needed help.

30:41

Speaker A

You said it was for one month's rent.

30:49

Speaker A

It was.

30:59

Speaker A

Then why did you borrow more money?

31:07

Speaker A

Who told you that?

31:18

Speaker A

Someone called me yesterday.

31:28

Speaker A

Who?

31:42

Speaker A

A man named Daniel?

31:57

Speaker A

Daniel called you?

32:05

Speaker A

Yes, and he sounded angry.

32:13

Speaker A

Emma, listen carefully.

32:29

Speaker A

Don't answer him again.

32:41

Speaker A

Why?

32:54

Speaker A

Who is he?

33:02

Speaker A

Just leave it alone.

33:15

Speaker A

No, tell me what's happening.

33:23

Speaker A

Emma, please leave me alone.

33:30

Speaker A

Fine, but Daniel said he's coming to your house tonight.

33:38

Speaker A

Mark, what are you looking for?

33:51

Speaker A

Nothing.
