:18:00
This means I haven't stolen anything
:18:02
That's a fact
:18:05
"Yeah, and as for killing"
:18:08
"Yes, I think I could kill her"
:18:14
It isn't much that you know
about your mother

:18:16
I've only just learned quite recently
:18:19
What?
:18:20
Why she's like that
:18:26
"After I was born,"
:18:27
she could have no more children
This means it was because of me in a way

:18:31
But she always wanted children
I know that

:18:33
"And then, when Ania was born"
"You see, this does explain a thing or two"

:18:37
"There was another person, too"
"who agreed to that arrangement, you"

:18:40
I was only sixteen then
:18:44
Jeanne d'Arc hadn't been much older
:18:46
You said that before
:18:49
They said they meant well
I should finish school and so on

:18:54
It's only now that I know they were
really after the baby

:18:57
"And there was that scandal at school, too"
"She was the headmistress,"

:19:01
"I was a young teacher, and you went"
to that same school

:19:06
But you mattered most
:19:10
The moment you ought to have said you wanted
"that baby to be ours, you said nothing"

:19:15
I couldn't
:19:19
You couldn't?
:19:21
"You were involved, too"
:19:24
"Mother said, "If you don't want"
"trouble for seducing a minor,"

:19:26
if you want still to be a teacher
:19:30
"...keep quiet"
Am I right?

:19:33
Is that what she told you?
:19:34
I overheard her say that to Father
"It's just like her, you knew she'd do it"

:19:39
She said it to your father?
:19:42
Yes
:19:44
Was she lying?
:19:48
To be frank...
:19:56
I never though this could be arranged
like that in Poland:

:19:59
That your own child is officially
registered as somebody else's...
