.Ingrid protests, yet at some point relentsu00e2 $" she recognizes her task to her pal, but sheu00e2 $ s likewise familiar with the stakes, that include possible illegal charges if the police become aware of her anticipation of Marthau00e2 $ s intents. They journey up, yet then right away have to return to New York when Martha misplaces the pillu00e2 $" in a heart-pumping sequence they switch her home upside-down looking for it. (To order yet another unlawfully, she says, would certainly be much as well hard.) When Ingrid situates it, in an envelope doodled along with the word u00e2 $ Farewell, u00e2 $ you wonder if sheu00e2 $ ll palm it overu00e2 $" yet she does.Over the next couple of days, back in their brand-new country home, the pair lay out their guideline: Martha insists that Ingrid should try to enjoy herself (though not blog about their expertise, lest the authorities discover itu00e2 $" though, normally, she does), and also hang around up until sheu00e2 $ s ready. After that, Ingrid is going to locate Marthau00e2 $ s cherry-red room door shut, and also thatu00e2 $ ll be actually the verification that sheu00e2 $ s gone.Thereu00e2 $ s a sort of Hitchcockian apprehension within this part of the story, specifically the tries of Ingrid climbing up the staircases to examine the role of the door once more and againu00e2 $" but also an invited dose of morbid humor. Martha mentions intending to sleep around along with a mutual friend, Damien (Severanceu00e2 $ s John Turturro), againu00e2 $" a shared lover from their past, with whom Ingrid is still in touch. Ingrid likewise goes to the fitness center, and is overcome to find herself breathless and also haggard, unexpectedly involved about her own mortality, as well. In among my favored sequences, Ingrid sees the door is closed and quickly pukes and also wails, but then an ashen and also supernatural Martha, worn white colored, comes downstairs, saying sheu00e2 $ d opened a window as well as the doddle had actually goofed closed. Ingrid is actually furious.Photo: u00c2 u00a9 El Deseo, picture by Iglesias Mu00c3 u00a1 s.
