Episode 33
CATHERINE?
DID YOU ALREADY CLOSE FOR TODAY?
AH, WELL...
WE SOLD OUT A BIT EARLY.
OH...IS THAT SO?
OLIVIA JUST FELL ASLEEP.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING WITH HER.
YOU'VE BEEN HOME ALL DAY, HAVEN'T YOU?
YES. I WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
AND YOU WON'T BE GOING OUT TOMORROW EITHER?
I BELIEVE SO. UH...
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO STEP OUT TOMORROW?
OH, NO NO! I MEANT TO TELL YOU TO STAY HOME FOR A WHILE.
PEOPLE ARE ON EDGE BECAUSE OF THE WAR,
SO IT'S KIND OF DANGEROUS, YOU KNOW.
...CATHERINE, IS SOMETHING WRONG?
WRONG? NO, NOT AT ALL. IT'S JUST...YOU KNOW.
EVERYONE'S ANXIOUS. WITH THE DECLARATION AND ALL.
CATHERINE.
YES?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
...DID SOMEONE RECOGNIZE ME?
NO, ANNETTE, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THAT--
IT'S FINE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE IT FROM ME.
EVERYONE WILL FIND OUT AT SOME POINT ANYWAY.
D*** HANS AND HIS BIG MOUTH...
...HANS?
OH.
THE MAN I SAW THAT ONE DAY AT THE SHOP...
I GUESS HE FINALLY REMEMBERED ME...
...NO, IT’S A SURPRISE IT EVEN TOOK THIS LONG FOR SOMEONE TO FIND OUT.
IT’S NOT LIKE I CAN HIDE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE OR ANYTHING.
I WONDER WHY CATHERINE BROUGHT ME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
IT’S NOT LIKE I’D BE OF ANY HELP TO HER.
CATHERINE.
TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.
WHAT?!
I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET EMBROILED IN ALL THIS.
YOU'RE A VICTIM. YOUR BROTHER WAS A REVOLUTIONARY.
TELL THEM YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR ANY NOBLES IN THE FIRST PLACE.
NONE OF THAT WILL HELP YOU, ANNETTE!
BUT IT WILL HELP YOUR FAMILY, CATHERINE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU?
IT'S OKAY. I'M USED TO IT--
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE USED TO IT DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY!!!
WHY...
WHY IS CATHERINE SO INVESTED IN WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT ME?
...ANYWAY, STAY PUT FOR A WHILE.
...CATHERINE...
HELLO, YOU'VE REACHED FABIAN SEINT.
AH. HELLO, MR. SEINT.
I'M CALLING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
MY NAME IS ANNETTE ROZENBERG.
...A FORMER CLIENT OF YOURS.
OH, MISS ROZENBERG! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
PLEASE, ASK AWAY.
THANK YOU, I'M DOING FINE.
IT'S JUST THAT AFTER THE DIVORCE...
...I LEFT ALL MY ALIMONY PAPERWORK BEHIND AT THE RESIDENCE...
I WAS WONDERING IF THE ALIMONY WOULD STILL BE SENT TO ME...
OR RATHER, IF I WAS STILL ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE IT...
OH, I SEE. YES, IT'S LEGALLY VALID.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE THOUGH, SO I'D NEED TO CHECK.
CAN YOU HOLD FOR A SECOND WHILE I DO SO?
YES. THANK YOU.
BANKING DOCUMENTS. DIVISION OF ASSETS.
I LEFT EVERYTHING BUT MY DIVORCE PAPERS BEHIND WHEN I WALKED OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
I DIDN’T THINK I NEEDED ANYTHING.
BUT IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY NOW. IT’S A NECESSITY.
AS COMPENSATION FOR HER. AS A PARTING GIFT.
BECAUSE NOW I’M USED TO PREPARING FOR GOODBYES.
HELLO?
AH YES! I’M STILL HERE.
PERFECT. I JUST CHECKED WITH YOUR EX-HUSBAND, AND HE SAYS HE IS STILL WILLING TO PAY THE ALIMONY.
OH!
THAT’S A RELIEF. I WAS AFRAID I MIGHT HAVE TO GO TO COURT...
HOWEVER... REGARDING THE PAYMENTS...
I WAS PLANNING ON RECEIVING AND SENDING THE PAYMENT AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE...
...BUT GIVEN THE LARGE AMOUNT,
HE WISHES TO DELIVER IT DIRECTLY TO YOU.
PARDON? DIRECTLY?
HE SAID SOMEONE FROM HIS RESIDENCE WILL VISIT YOU WITHIN THIS WEEK.
THERE WASN'T MUCH FOR ME TO PUSH BACK WITH... I HOPE IT'S OKAY WITH YOU.
OH... I SEE...
THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU, MR. SEINT.
HAA...
CLOSED FOR THE WEEK
CLOSED FOR THE WEEK.
CATHERINE...
SHE PROBABLY WOULDN'T ANSWER ME IF I ASKED WHY SHE DECIDED TO CLOSE FOR A WEEK...
SHE'S A HUNGRY GIRL, ISN'T SHE?
DOES IT HURT?
IT DOES. QUITE A BIT SOMETIMES.
I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN SHE STARTS TEETHING.
SHE'LL HAVE TO EAT BABY FOOD BY THEN.
ARE YOU OFFERING TO MAKE IT, ANNETTE?
UH, CATHERINE. I'M EXPECTING A VISITOR SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON.
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PICK SOMETHING UP FOR ME?
OF COURSE. WHAT IS IT FOR?
IT'S SOMETHING FROM MY EX-HUSBAND...
OHH, YES, YES. I UNDERSTAND.
I JUST NEED TO RECEIVE THE PACKAGE, RIGHT?
YES. THANK YOU, CATHERINE.
OH, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
OH MY.
HAHA!
THANK YOU, CATHERINE.
FOR EVERYTHING.
THAT EVENING.
OH.
THEY MUST BE HERE.
HUH?
WHY...
WHY IS HEINER...
