.Ingrid demonstrations, yet inevitably relentsu00e2 $” she understands her obligation to her friend, however sheu00e2 $ s also knowledgeable about the stakes, which include possible unlawful costs if the authorities become aware of her prior knowledge of Marthau00e2 $ s objectives. They take a trip up, but at that point instantly have to go back to New York when Martha misplaces the pillu00e2 $” in a heart-pumping pattern they turn her apartment or condo upside-down in search of it. (To purchase another unlawfully, she states, would be far too hard.) When Ingrid locates it, in an envelope scrabbled with words u00e2 $ Farewell, u00e2 $ you wonder if sheu00e2 $ ll hand it overu00e2 $” but she does.Over the following couple of days, back in their brand-new country home, the pair mapped out their ground rules: Martha insists that Ingrid must try to enjoy herself (though certainly not blog about their adventure, lest the cops discover itu00e2 $” though, normally, she carries out), as well as wait until sheu00e2 $ s all set.
At that point, Ingrid will definitely locate Marthau00e2 $ s cherry-red bed room door closed, and also thatu00e2 $ ll be the verification that sheu00e2 $ s gone.Thereu00e2 $ s a sort of Hitchcockian fear within this section of the story, particularly the tries of Ingrid going up the steps to check the role of the door once again as well as againu00e2 $” yet likewise an appreciated dose of horrid humor. Martha speaks of intending to have sex with a friend of a friend, Damien (Severanceu00e2 $ s John Turturro), againu00e2 $” a shared aficionado from their past times, with whom Ingrid is still in contact. Ingrid also visits the health club, and relapses to find herself out of breath as well as haggard, immediately involved concerning her very own mortality, too.
In one of my favorite patterns, Ingrid sees the door is actually finalized and also quickly vomits and also sheds tears, however after that a light and ghostly Martha, worn white, comes downstairs, stating sheu00e2 $ d opened a home window as well as the wind had actually blown it shut. Ingrid is furious.Photo: u00c2 u00a9 El Deseo, photo by Iglesias Mu00c3 u00a1 s.
