.Ingrid protests, however ultimately relentsu00e2 $” she understands her obligation to her pal, but sheu00e2 $ s also familiar with the concerns, which include possible illegal charges if the cops hear of her anticipation of Marthau00e2 $ s motives. They take a trip up, yet then instantly need to go back to The big apple when Martha loses the pillu00e2 $” in a heart-pumping series they turn her flat upside-down searching for it. (To order yet another unlawfully, she mentions, will be much too challenging.) When Ingrid locates it, in an envelope scrabbled along with words u00e2 $ Goodbye, u00e2 $ you ponder if sheu00e2 $ ll palm it overu00e2 $” but she does.Over the following few times, back in their new country home, the pair set out their ground rules: Martha urges that Ingrid should make an effort to appreciate herself (though certainly not write about their expertise, lest the cops find itu00e2 $” though, typically, she carries out), and stand by up until sheu00e2 $ s all set.
After that, Ingrid is going to find Marthau00e2 $ s cherry-red room door closed, as well as thatu00e2 $ ll be actually the confirmation that sheu00e2 $ s gone.Thereu00e2 $ s a type of Hitchcockian hate within this portion of the tale, specifically the tries of Ingrid climbing up the stairs to check the ranking of the door again and againu00e2 $” yet also a welcome dosage of dark humor. Martha speaks of wanting to make love with a mutual friend, Damien (Severanceu00e2 $ s John Turturro), againu00e2 $” a communal lover coming from their past times, along with whom Ingrid is still in contact. Ingrid likewise heads to the fitness center, and faints to find herself out of breath as well as haggard, quickly concerned about her very own death, too.
In some of my preferred sequences, Ingrid views the door is actually shut and also without delay vomits and also bursts into tears, but then a pale and supernatural Martha, dressed in white colored, happens downstairs, mentioning sheu00e2 $ d opened up a window as well as the doddle had actually goofed closed. Ingrid is furious.Photo: u00c2 u00a9 El Deseo, photo through Iglesias Mu00c3 u00a1 s.
