When the cops got questions.

How much should Matt tell them, when he can’t remember all the details himself.   

He was at Binta’s party. He was very drunk. They had a very public confrontation after which he left (was thrown out?). He went to a bar and drank some more. From then on the details are sketchy or none at all until he woke up at home in bed with no idea how he got there.

Now Binta had been murdered.

Should he cooperate? After all, he had nothing to hide.

Or did he?

Love – is it fate, timing or something else?

Is love the one true thing or is it something different for everyone? For Matt, it was what kept him sane during his years of reporting from war zones and witnessing every imaginable kind of atrocity and then some. His eventual reunion with Raminder, would transform his life, give it meaning and order, or so he thought.
And it did, at least for a decade.

Do apology’s change anything?

Matt’s about to perform a mea culpa but he’s not sure it will do any good other than damage his career as a journalist – maybe irreparably.

Have you ever apologized for something despite feeling it wasn’t necessary, despite feeling it wouldn’t do any good, maybe even do harm? Was it worth it?
