So Carmen moved away
to a kinder place away from here,
1:36:06
but she wasn't able to
rebuild her life.
1:36:11
So she reached out
to the father of her child.
1:36:17
They talked on the phone for months,
but she was terrified of hope.
1:36:23
It took her a long time
to build up the courage...
1:36:26
to meet with him face to face.
1:36:29
Finally, she returned
to Los Angeles...
1:36:34
to be near him,
try to pick up the pieces.
1:36:39
She moved into that house,
prepared for the big night.
1:36:46
But the evening, it went badly.
1:36:48
Or what's worse, it went well
at first, then it went badly.
1:36:57
The end of the night,
it was clear to her...
1:37:00
That nothing she could do...
1:37:03
could revive that baby...
or their love...
1:37:11
or kill the pain... or do anything
but make her feel alone.
1:37:17
Maybe she left early in the morning
while he slept.
1:37:22
She made up her mind about
her future on that long walk home.
1:37:28
When she arrived...
1:37:32
she went through all of her things...
1:37:36
and threw them out, erasing herself
quietly behind closed doors...
1:37:45
Like most people live their lives.
1:37:58
I was wrong about you being a detective.
You should be a writer.
