All language subtitles for [1973] El Castillo de la Pureza (Arturo Ripstein)

I'm done.
Want some help?

Quiet. Don't interrupt.

There's no talking
during work.

One hour, Voluntad.

Beatriz, someone
went through my stuff.

Nobody goes into
your room, Gabriel.

Only you have the key.

Porvenir,
were you in my room?

- No, not me.
- Then it was Utopia.

No, Father. I haven't
even gone upstairs.

Do the statue of happiness.

- Do the statue of death.
- No, not that one!

- Yes! That one!
- Do the statue of war, Mom.

No!
I say what!

Do the statue of death.

Hey, don't bother.

An old man lives alone there
and he left early.

Oh, excuse me.

Here, go hang it.

- All is well?
- Yes, Father.

May I?

I brought you a gift.

Come. Sit with me.

- Smell. Do you like it?
- Yes.

This cream is excellent
for the hands.

Put some on.

Let me put some
lotion on you.

- I'll be downstairs.
- Gabriel.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Beatriz.

Hand me some bread.

You didn't dry your hands.

It's rude to talk
during meals.

- I want water.
- Wait.

Okay. Next one.

I want to see the ocean.

Don't say that or
Father will get mad.

I'll tell Mother
to take us.

Why tell her?

You know we've never
gone out, we never will.

Anyway, I want
to see the ocean.

Remember when Mother
told us about it?

- She said it is real pretty.
- But going out is bad.

It's horrible outside.

And the goddess of the sun,
offended and sad...

...went into a cave located...
- Located.

Located at the foot of
an enormous mountain...

- Enormous.
- Enormous.

Once inside, wishing
she forgot the world...

...and her husband's
ingratitude...

...she closed the entrance
with a very heavy rock.

Thanks to the help of
some invisible pages...

...who arrived on quick
lightning bolts that came...

- That came.
- That came from the king.

- Who is the king?
- The sun.

Let's not read anymore.
Tell us something.

What do you
want me to tell?

Stuff.

When I was Voluntad's age...

...I played at the river
every afternoon.

I made paper boats.
Like those Porvenir makes.

- Make me one!
- Wait.

One time,
some bulls showed up...

...and suddenly,
one came loose...

What are bulls like?

You saw them in
your sticker book.

They're the animals
with horns.

They're beautiful
but very aggressive.

Are they edible?

People that eat meat
eat them.

- We don't.
- What did the bull do?

It chased me.

I screamed and ran,
I was so scared.

But it didn't catch
up to you?

No. They killed it.

Come and sit down.

- Did you study the maxims?
- Yes.

Tell me Goethe's.

"A man with a strong will...

...shapes the world
at his taste" Goethe.

Very good.
Now, Ellis.

"To find men, you must turn
your back on humanity" Ellis.

I don't understand.

That if you're going to be
superior to other people...

...you mustn't pay attention
to what they say or do...

...but live as you know
how you should live...

...so that later you can
set your example.

- Yes.
- Don't yawn! I'm speaking!

- Did you understand?
- Yes, Father.

Chesterton.

"All men are common men.

Extraordinary men are
those sure that they are."

- Go to your room.
- Yes, Father.

Don't move, son.
I could cut it wrong.

- You hold my head.
- You have very pretty hair.

It's gotten really thick.

Look. It's your first cut.

Touch it.
Feel how soft it is.

Don't mix it up!

- This is Utopia's.
- Let me see!

- Porvenir's is prettier.
- What about me?

Here is yours.
But don't touch it.

- Don't move.
- Don't move!

- What did you say?
- I didn't say anything.

My love! My love!

My love! My love!

The kids are downstairs,
they could hear us.

It's always the same
with you.

You only think of yourself.
You have no right.

Gabriel, please.
Come here.

You were always
surrounded by men.

You think about them
all the time...

...even though you
pretend not to think!

- Go to the kitchen.
- Lunch is ready.

Clean the machines.

I'm hungry.
Bring food to my room.

Yes, Father.

He's mad again.

Your break is over!
Go back to the shop.

Do you know how many
corpses could fit here?

- You didn't eat a thing.
- I'm disgusted.

There are rats everywhere.
They're not dying.

We have to make
stronger pesticides.

They're not eating
what I put out for them.

They warn each other of
the danger some how.

Tell me something.
Rats and mice hate each other...

...can you imagine giving them
something to drive them crazy?

To have them kill each other?

Every day millions are born.

The newborn females,
before they leave the nest...

...are already pregnant.

If they were fighting
or eating their spring...

...they wouldn't have time
to reproduce.

It's instinct. Beasts
only seek pleasure.

By reproducing they pass
their horror and filth.

It's a circle that'll only
end at the end of time.

It's the same with people.

You know men
by studying rats.

They're the same!

That's why I don't want you
in contact with the world.

It's best you stay inside
with the rats...

...than seeing
the best people out there.

Why are you saying this?
Don't speak like that.

You can't compare people
with rats.

Besides, you've always
loved your children.

Yes, but they're different.

How can they be if they
have never been outside?

Don't you see?

We haven't gone outside
in 18 years.

18 years without
seeing the street.

You dare complain?

On the contrary, I have
always been happy with you.

There's nothing better than
living with a man like you.

I don't need anything else.

These 18 years
have been wonderful.

I don't need to go out.

Remember when we moved?
Utopia was a newborn.

Voluntad has never seen
the world outside.

There isn't a way out.

If it hadn't been for that,
where would we be?

You knew the world.
You know how it is.

I see it when I go out.
It was a good decision.

The proof is that the kids
are healthy, pure, happy.

If they were in the world
they'd have been corrupted.

Can you imagine Utopia?
Poor thing.

What a surprise!

How nice to see you,
Mr. Gabriel.

I'm here as always
to trouble you.

Are you feeling better,
Mrs. Luisa?

The same.
Old people are hopeless.

Don't say that,
Mrs. Maria Luisa.

You'll bury us all.

How many bags
should I leave?

How many?
A dozen and a half, please.

Only a dozen.

We still have some
from last time.

Let me see.

She'll be with you
in a second.

Twelve.

Here you go.

Thank you very much.
Have a good day.

How many do you want?

No, I'm sorry, Mr. Lima.

I can't take anymore.

Look, Mr. Lima,
this is more profitable.

It's very requested
because of the commercials.

But that's crap!
Can't you see?

My product is better because
it isn't industrialized!

It's done by hand.
That can't even kill a fly!

Haven't you noticed?
It's in polyethylene bags.

Do you know it's an
indestructible material?

It'll be in dumpsters
till the end of time!

I'm really sorry, Mr. Lima.

- Let's start the game!
- Are you finished?

- Yes.
- Well, then let's go.

Okay!
One, two, three!

- I'll catch you, Voluntad!
- No! No!

I'm coming after you,
Utopia!

Utopia, stop!
Utopia!

No, Porvenir!
No!

Enough, Utopia!
Come and help me!

Your father doesn't
want you to read...

...things he doesn't
give you.

If he finds this,
he'll get mad.

Go on,
I'll be right back.

I'm going to my room.

One moment please,
Mr. Gabriel.

We've missed you, Mr. Gabriel.
Haven't we?

- Shall I leave a dozen?
- Of course, Mr. Gabriel.

- Excuse me, Mr. Gabriel.
- It's not a problem.

I need to see you alone.
You'll profit from it.

I want you to sleep with me.
I'll pay you.

Are you insane?

If my mother finds out
you'll be in trouble.

Here you go.
Count it.

I have to tell you something.
You won't get mad?

What is it?

Take care of your daughter.
She's very flirty.

- Excuse me?
- She's very flirty.

- What?
- She came on to me.

Really?

I wouldn't tell you
if it wasn't true. I never lie.

Take care of her, ma'am.
Take good care of her.

- She could get lost.
- Thank you, Mr. Gabriel.

You're coming with me!

I'll take you to a place
only I know of!

- I'm glad you're home.
- I want to be calm.

Dad is home!
Dad is home!

- Put everything as it was.
- Yes, Father.

- We'll end up starving.
- What?

Nobody wants to buy
our product.

They say that junk made
in factories is profitable.

Don't worry.
Ours is better.

It can't be if they're
not asking for it.

- Gabriel...
- We'll starve, I'm telling you!

Tomorrow,
cut the food rations.

We'll use less energy
and all those luxuries.

Say goodbye
to your make-up.

- I use them to please you.
- We'll starve!

Don't be like that.
Don't worry.

I'm sure everything
will be all right.

I'm tired!
I don't want to work anymore.

We have to hurry!
We're down 100 bags.

What were the men like
before you met me?

You didn't tell me
exactly how many.

Please, Gabriel,
don't start.

This conversation
never ends well.

I warn you,
it's worse not knowing!

Gabriel, you know
everything about me!

I know nothing.

I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to kill you!

Your mother tried to
hurt herself with this.

I had to yank it from her!

Don't tell your brothers
anything.

I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, Beatriz!

You have to help me.
I'm so scared.

Don't be scared.
I love you, Gabriel.

I don't care about
going outside...

...you think I would've
tolerated this with another?

How many people will
there be in the year 2000?

- Seven billion.
- Very good.

How many children die
of hunger every year?

Three million and a half.

The more people there are...

...the more crime
and addiction there'll be.

It's natural.

People don't know
how to coexist.

Everything is wrong.
And it'll get worse.

- Can I turn it on?
- Yes.

The birth of the great Celtic.

Under terrible shadows,
a King will be born...

...and will be feared by all.

His ancient blood will
be reborn in him...

...and his Age of Bronze
will turn to Gold.

It means this king will govern
with patience and kindness.

He'll give a different
face to his race.

Thanks to his teachings
the Bronze Age...

...a time of violence
and wars...

...will become an Age of
prosperity. A Golden Age.

He'll open the bronze doors
by force.

The King will bring down
the Temple of War.

They will no longer use
citadels and forts.

The world will find peace
with his guidance.

You understood this?

The Great City will be
like a desert.

Those who lived in it
are surely dead.

It's streets deserted
by looting and rape...

...and it's temples in
ruins by profanation.

Nostradamus saw clearly
what is happening.

You can go to bed now.
We'll stay and work a while.

Good night, Father.

Good night, Mother.

Sleep well.

Dear Minister.

I waited in vain for a month
for your answer.

I suppose you haven't
answered me back...

...because my enemies told you
there is a contradiction...

...between my ideas and
my personal and work life.

Why if I defend existence
in all its forms...

...do I make a living
producing pesticides?

- I make a living?
- Producing pesticides.

And I answer you:
there is no contradiction.

Rats are man's enemy.

They destroy his crops,
they loot their storages...

...they transmit diseases...

...and they've even
devoured small children.

So they must be completely
annihilated by the strongest.

Their only true strength,
like all the weak...

...is its enormous
reproductive capability.

There must be no mercy.

It's a matter of life or death.

You're it!

You're falling!

And only with
inexorable energy...

...we will be able to bring
the final catastrophe.

Sincerely, at your disposal,
Gabriel Lima.

That's right.

I'm very tired.

That letter you dictated
was beautiful.

I think he will answer me
this time.

Your thoughts are
extraordinary.

What you say is true.

I hope everything
comes true...

...so people will know
who you are.

Take me to bed.

Gabriel,
what are you doing?

Nothing.
An experiment.

Someone's been knocking
for a while.

I'll get it.

Mr. Gabriel,
I thought you weren't home.

I'm sorry, Inspector,
I didn't hear you.

There was a lot of noise.
Come in, please.

This house needs
some plastering.

Why don't you hire
someone?

No! I'll do it myself.

Be careful because
it's dangerous.

With the rain, these
old houses could fall.

A man!

Hello, how are you?
What's new?

- Good morning.
- Here's the paperwork.

Let me see.

Things have gotten rough.

I don't know if I can
authorize your product.

What do you mean?

I've never had
a problem with you.

My paperwork is in order.

Yeah, but you know
how things are now.

What things?

Isn't it dangerous
to have so many rats?

- They're all vaccinated.
- At least.

- Aren't you scared of them?
- I'm used to them now.

What do you say?
Do I authorize or not?

Yes, authorize it.

Very well then.
Because you say so.

You have a 47.50 percent
of royalties.

Show me your sales permit.

Oh, it's being processed,
right?

- Yes.
- Thank you, sir.

Can you give me some
samples for the lab?

Sure, take as many
as you like.

Thank you.

Good bye, Miss,
it's been a pleasure.

- You damn flirt!
- No! No!

Let me go! No!

Gabriel!
Leave her alone!

Stop it!
Are you insane?!

Don't you see
what you've done?!

Stay out of this!
I know what I'm doing!

- It's for her own good!
- That's what you think!

Look at what you're
doing to your kids!

My children
are not like that!

You are against me!
I've given you everything!

Look what you've done!

I'm going to kill!

My poor baby girl.
Tell me what happened.

I don't know, Mother.
I don't know.

Don't cry, my love.
Calm down.

I don't want him
to hit me!

Stop crying.
You're prettier now.

Look in the mirror.
You see?

I had my hair like that
when I met your father.

Who would've imagined
all of this then?

He'd go to my house to visit.
We spent hours talking.

He told me that
when we got married...

...we'd have a lot of kids and
our family would be unique.

He's really kind with me.

I do as he says because
it's for our own good.

But he should never
have touched you.

You're so young.

Gabriel has changed.
He's so strange now.

Sometimes even I
am afraid of him.

Two pork tacos, please.

- With our without salsa?
- With, please.

Thank you.

They were knocking
for a long time.

- Didn't you see who it was?
- No.

It must've been
the water guy.

I've told him never
to come after 9 a.m.

Call the kids.
I have a surprise.

I brought you these toys!
Look at them.

I won't give them to you
now, but in a few days...

...that way you'll
really enjoy them!

They're really pretty, Father.
Thank you.

Did you bring me a shovel?

No, but I got you more
animal sticker books.

Thank you, Father.

I have to tell you
something.

As of tomorrow in this house
there'll be no more yelling.

I want us all
to get along.

- Gabriel?
- Yes?

The garbage truck
is here.

I'm going with you!

Move, girl.

Get inside!

Thank you.

Wait in the living room!

Idiot!
Why'd you let them out?!

- Shit!
- Please, Gabriel.

- You are just like your mother.
- Why?

Why?!

I turn my head and
she hit the streets!

I can't live in this house!
It's all your fault!

I tried to save them from
the world but I couldn't.

- It's your inheritance!
- Gabriel, nothing happened.

Sit there.

I married you out of pity!
I always pitied you!

I never felt anything else
for you! It's all your fault!

You'll never get
away with it!

Go bathe.

Voluntad!
Voluntad!

She's not here!
What is it?

Tell her to bring me
the towel!

I'll lend you mine.

Wait!
Throw it over!

Bastards!

Dogs!
Disgusting!

Dogs!

You bitch!

- No, Father!
- You bastard!

- No, Father!
- Disgusting!

- You bastard!
- Father!

You damn bastard!
Fucking bastard!

- No!
- You pig!

Fucking bastard!
I won't tolerate this!

You disgust me!
You pigs!

- Stop it!
- Move!

- You have no right!
- I haven't?!

Calm down, I'm sure they
haven't done anything wrong.

Nothing wrong?!
They're worst than rats!

- Gabriel!
- Move!

- You have no right!
- I do!

Now you'll see!
You'll get your comeuppance!

Look what you've done.
Look!

Calm down, Gabriel!
Please!

It's your fault.
It's all your fault!

Look what you've done!

You screwed everything up.
It's your fault.

It's all over.
I failed.

Nobody has ever
understood me. Nobody.

Not even you.

No, Gabriel,
everything will be the same.

It had to happen.

You never talked to them
about those things.

But they're children.

They love you as much
as I do.

I've always loved you,
Gabriel.

Remember when we were young
and we went to the country?

Everything was so beautiful.

You were always happy.

Weren't you?

They were good times.

You told me that
we should live...

...without others interference.

Everything was alright...

...but I knew something
would happen.

You never thought of what
this would become in time.

Everything's changed.

I did your will
for my children.

For them and the peace
of this house...

...a peace you don't see,
understand or appreciate.

But you know
I love you so much...

...and you take advantage
of that.

Give it some of this.
It's new.

Two hands.

- Done, Father.
- Good. Leave it.

Do rats eat meat?

Yes. Only those kinds
of animals eat meat.

- What does it taste like?
- Blood. Horrible.

Now.

It's dead, Father.

Voluntad, one day
we'll make these traps.

They're called
"El Castillo".

I saw them in a German
magazine years ago...

...but I perfected them.

It's like a snail.

The rat goes through this
door and can't get out.

It reaches the center
where there's cheese.

When it's about to eat it,
the floor sinks.

The rat falls into a
bucket of water and dies.

10 can drown in one night.

It's really pretty.

Here.
Let them out.

Hang this.

I don't like this.
It has too much garlic.

From now on you'll
be far from your brother!

You'll sleep with
the light on!

When I go out, you'll
stay in your room!

Women are to blame
for everything.

Because of you!
I was weak because of you!

You made them
disobey me!

You plotted everything!
It's your fault!

I'm going to kill you!

Here, take this to my room.

- What did he say?
- Nothing.

He didn't even
talk to me.

I'm really scared.
I've never seen him like this.

What you did was wrong,
try to understand him.

Don't be afraid.

You know I love nobody
like you. Nobody.

That's not true.
You love my father more.

You remind me so much
of him...

...but you're so different.

- I liked it outside.
- Outside?

Yes.

- Is this sugar?
- Yes.

- Eat a bit.
- Okay.

- I love you, Porvenir.
- Me too, Mother.

Help.
Better yet, help us.

Yes, that's it.

My Father has us
locked up.

He has us all locked up.

Now he wants to kill us.

We live at Gonzales #99.
Come quickly.

Utopia.

Gabriel?

I was just with a girl.
Really young.

She was a virgin,
unlike you!

No wonder there's
never been purity here.

It's all lies,
why do you say that?

You have no right!

I've been nothing but
faithful and tolerant!

I did everything you asked,
I always did your bidding!

I've had to live with
what you make up!

I can't anymore.
I can't take it!

- What's wrong with you?
- What's wrong?!

How dare you?!
Leave me alone!

Get out of my room now!

Honey!
Don't be like that.

Don't be like that.

Beatriz, honey,
what's wrong?

What's wrong?
What is it?

Beatriz, I love you.

I love you, Beatriz.

Sweetie, don't be mad.

Tell me what you want
to make you happy.

- No, Father. I'm not mad.
- Yes you are. I know.

But you're good and
soon you'll be happy.

Utopia, pass me the platter.

I told you I don't want
you touching him!

Father!
Father, no!

Gabriel, stop it!

I'm locking you up.

This time you won't
even have water!

You saw it!
He hit me!

Did you see?
He hit me!

It's your fault too.

You won't get off the hook
this time.

You're going to die!

Utopia!

Let him out.

- A rat can drown.
- No. They can swim.

- Really?
- Of course.

All animals can swim.

Come.

Utopia.

Utopia!

Yes, I'm coming.

I'm just as scared
as you are.

I don't understand.

I don't know
what to do.

But we must be patient.
It'll pass.

We've always been
so happy.

I don't understand.
He's never been like this.

He's gone mad.

He's gone mad.
He's mean.

No, he's not mean.
He's very good.

He loves you very much.

I don't love him
anymore.

Know people.
Listen to this.

The Detroit, Michigan Zoo
had to hire 4 more guards...

...to protect the animals
from the visitors attacks.

The cruelty bragged by
the zoo's assistants...

...often causes these
animal's deaths.

A kangaroo cub was
beaten to death.

A duck was speared
with an arrow.

The hippopotamus,
expecting its cub...

...was thrown a rubber ball
and it choked.

They threw poisoned meat
in the eagle's cage.

- The zoo's employees...
- Father?

- Don't interrupt.
- May I go to the bathroom?

- You have your hours.
- It's something else.

Go.
The zoo's employees...

...don't know how
to stop this.

Careful, careful.
Don't kill them.

They won't die.
They can swim.

- Let me wet them.
- No, I am.

- Let me!
- No, Voluntad.

With your hair like that
you look like a lady.

You look really pretty.

- My eyes hurt.
- It must be the dust.

- I didn't sleep well.
- How come?

- I'm really scared.
- Why? What's wrong?

I can't tell you.

You've always
told me everything.

- I told on Father.
- What?

I told on him
with the police.

What are you saying?

I sent a letter to the police
telling on him.

To the police?

I told them
he was going to kill us.

Honey, why did you do that?

Because I'm scared,
Mother!

Don't be scared.
It'll be all right.

Look how happy we are.
You have me.

I'll protect you.
You mustn't be scared.

The police.
What have you done?

Utopia?
What's wrong?

- What is it?
- She doesn't feel well.

You too?
What's wrong, Beatriz?

Tell me, please.
What's wrong?

I don't know.

How are you, Miss?
Nice to see you.

My mother isn't here.

It doesn't matter.
I'll leave the product.

She can pay me later.

- Are you Gabriel Lima?
- Yes.

Show me your license
to sell this product.

I don't have it on me.
They never ask for it.

- But you have it?
- Naturally!

I just leave it at home.

If you wish to come
with me, I'll show you.

It's also been reported that
it's a hazardous material.

- It's banned.
- I have a special permit.

The director is a
close friend of mine.

Hey!
What about the bags?

I'll be right back.

- Wait here.
- We have to go with you.

- I'm telling you to wait!
- Don't yell at me, sir.

Don't tell me what to do,
especially in my house!

You're in trouble.

Idiots! You don't know
what you are doing!

Wait here.
I'll go.

The police!

The letter was a lie!
Please leave!

I didn't want them
locked up!

I agreed so my children
would be alright!

- Please leave!
- What are you talking about?

He has us locked up
and he has the key!

- I didn't do anything!
- Get out of my house!

If you touch me,
I'll kill him!

- Let him go!
- Come here!

Please! Open the door!

Let me out! Please!

Go inside.

Get out or I'll kill
my entire family!

- Get out!
- Call for backup.

Get out!
This is my house!

- Help! Let me out!
- Get out!

Hurry. Put the chair
on top, Voluntad.

Hurry up!

Bring the lamp.
Bring it now!

Put it there.

Get down, now!

Wait here.
Do nothing.

He's insane.

If you don't get out,
I'll kill my family!

You're insane!
Don't be stupid!

- Let him go!
- Nobody is leaving!

Go away!
This is my house!

I'm in here!
Let me out!

Please!

Don't leave me here!

Stay here!
Stay here!

Bring the extinguisher.

Get me out of here!
Please!

I'm in here!

Get me out of here!

Don't move or
they'll all die!

I'm up here!
Please, help me!

Get out!
Get out, please!

Get out!
Get out!

No!

Can't you see?

Give it to me!

Get out!
Get out of my house!

Get out!
Get out, bastards!

- Did you get my message?
- Message?

Get out of my house!
Get out!

Get out!

- Get out!
- No!

- Get out!
- No!

No! No, Father!

- Don't touch him!
- No!

Gabriel!

Gabriel!
Don't touch him!

Mother!
What's happening?

I love you, Gabriel!
