Molina is summoned to the warden, who says the president is eager for information. Molina offers nothing, saying Valentin is too weak to be interrogated again. Molina suggests that he tell Valentin he is being transferred to another cell. The warden is hesitant, but Molina says, “if he thinks I’m leaving, he might feel like getting a few things off his chest” (199). The warden gives him one week. Again, Molina gives the warden a list of groceries.
Valentin apologies for his temper when Molina returns, explaining that he doesn’t like to get attached to anyone, but since they are alone in this cell, he says, “we’re perfectly free to behave however we choose with respect to one another” (202). To this, Molina admits that he wants to earn Valentin’s affection, having never been close enough to another person besides his mother. Then he tells Valentin about the pardon and being transferred cells, which upsets Valentin. After resting, Valentin asks Molina to tell him how the zombie movie ends.
In the movie plot, the girl learns that the witch doctor is the majordomo. The witch doctor then starts hypnotizing her. The housekeeper and the husband appear, breaking the hypnosis.
