All language subtitles for Penumbra (2011)

"TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE"

"HELP WANTED"

It's closed.

I called awhile ago,
about the job.

I talked to a man.

Oh, yes, you must be
the Colombian.

Come in.

You didn't lie
to my husband, right?

We don't want girls
with bad habits, junkies,

or even worse,
with some disease.

No.
I'm very healthy.

I have a degree in pharmacology
and work experience.

I'm up here.
Follow me.

What are you doing?

Come here.

Get closer.

Credit in your account
is 30 pesos.

Damn it, Anita!
Pick up the phone.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Hey, Marga.
What's up?

Why are you calling so early?

Early?
Do you know what time it is?

Shit!
It's noon.

Have you met with the realtor?

No, not yet.

I'm here waiting,
and he hasn't arrived.

Damn, in half an hour,
I have to be in the office.

And I haven't had breakfast.

Are you sure he is not around?

It's weird because the guy
was very interested.

He said he was looking for
apartments located in that area,

because they are
so well listed and such.

Yeah, well I will
charge him extra.

He's wasting my time.

Come on, don't exaggerate.

Ana, you might have 24 hours
to spare every day,

but others have responsibilities
and obligations.

Here we go again.

I am your sister.

I worry about you, damn.

Besides, we both own this floor.

I don't know why you aren't here
to show it.

Because I'm not good at it!

You always say so.

Oh, so now you listen to me?

Of course I do.

I come here every year with you!

You come here for me?
That's funny.

Hey, you went to Bolivia
because of me?

Damn, will you ever
leave me alone?

Do you always have to repeat
the same stuff?

Hallucinogen cactus, Ana?

You make me hallucinate!

Sis, you bring it up
every time we talk.

It's water under the bridge!

You like to remove the shit.

Well, is the man there?

Is he coming or not?

Two weeks ago.

And don't change the subject.

Shit.

What's up?
You saw him?

No.

What if he is inside?

Inside?
How come?

Well, he could have gone through
the door and entered.

Great, considering
that I don't know him,

what am I supposed to do?

Wait here
and ask everybody around me?

It would be easier
if you go to the apartment

and wait for him there.

Hey, smarty pants,
I've known how to tie my shoes

for longer than you
you hear me'?

Yes, you are the boss,
and I'm just the helpless child

that would be in an orphanage
without you.

Close but no cigar.

Anyway, I have to go.

Okay, see you later.

Bye.

What am I doing wrong
with this girl?

Sorry, were you looking for me?

Are you from
the real estate agency?

You came to see the apartment?

Yes, I am from the agency.

I was waiting for you.

Well, that's nice.

I've been waiting for you
outside for 40 minutes.

- 40 minutes?
- Yes.

- Please forgive me.
- Sure.

I guess you passed by
and didn't see me.

How long have you been here?

Mmm, awhile ago.

I was wondering
what could have happened.

I was afraid that something bad
happened to you.

Well, to be honest, in my work,

where I have
very important clients-

those who have credit cards
that shine until you go blind-

if I keep them waiting
for 40 minutes,

I get fired, since they are
paying and feeding me.

When I work, I am a slave,

and only money can set me free.

"Money brings honor, friends,
conquest, and realms."

That's Milton,
Paradise Regained.

I recommend it.

And it means that,

if I have to wait for you
every month for 40 minutes

to get my paycheck,
we won't get along, truly.

Do you understand?

Yes.
You are absolutely right.

Okay.
Margarita Sanchez.

Jorge.
Jorge Kepler at your service.

Let's do business.

Well, this is it.

How nice!

Nice is not accurate.

I would say grim,
maybe pathetic,

out of fashion, definitely,

but there are people that think
this is paradise.

Obviously they come
from uglier places.

No offense, but...

Yes, the neighborhood doesn't
really have a good reputation,

that's true.

Tell me about it.

Although, is there any decent
neighborhood in this city?

Do you live here
in Buenos Aires?

No, of course not.

I come two months every year
for work.

Luckily, I'm going back
in a couple of weeks.

But my sister
already told that to...

I don't know who she spoke to.

There are many people
working in the office.

We inherited this apartment
eight years ago.

We thought the country
would come out of its crisis.

But you guys
won't come out of the hole.

The politicians you have
won't help much.

Bathroom and kitchen are here.

Do you want to see them?

No, this is perfect for me.

Oh, really?

Well, great.

If you want,
when we set the details,

you can check the rest.

Yes, I wanted to talk to you
about the details.

It would be better for me
if we could assemble

all the paperwork now.

Now?
No way.

We have to review contracts,
payrolls,

and I have another meeting
in 20 minutes.

That's too bad!

It's just that we have a client

who is very interested in
renting a property in this area.

He was looking for something
with these features,

and, well, he's in a hurry.

Sorry, it won't be possible.

Such a pity; this person wanted
to pay four times the price

that is commonly paid
in this area.

Four times?

That is, like...

10,000 pesos.

2,000 euros a month.

Not bad, but there's people
waiting for me.

Yeah, he even wanted to pay
the full year in advance.

We also decided to forget
about the agency fee.

You'll see.

He's a client
with those shiny credit cards,

just like you said.

But if you can't do it-

It would be 20,000
in advance for this place?

No, nearly 25,000.

The client is in a hurry,

and you know,
"rush" in this business,

it's an expensive thing.

And how soon will you have
the papers ready?

Within an hour.

Great, let's do it.

Are you sure?

This is great news!

But I must tell you something.

I ran out of minutes
on my cell phone.

I should call my boss

so she can begin
to prepare the contracts

and call the client so he
can come to see the apartment.

Well, I'm sure
there is no problem

if we go to the agency.

We work on the contracts,

and then you arrange
an appointment with your client

for some other time

That would be done
in a normal case,

but now it would be
a waste of time.

We cannot make a contract
between us

if the client doesn't-

You have one hour.

- It is a mere formality.
- Yeah.

Well, that's nice.

I don't know.

Something wrong?

No, no.
I'll be back in a moment.

Perfect.
And he has my cell phone.

Is anyone there?

Hey, slut.
Hey!

Did you see the sun?

I asked you if you saw the sun.

What?

The least you can do is answer,
you fucking whore.

Did you see the sun?

Everything is going to blow
into pieces.

Everything will blow
in your fucking Spaniard face!

Lady!
Lady, calm down!

Okay, okay!

She's crazy!
She's crazy!

This woman is crazy.

She wanted to kill me!

You bastard, tell them
what you were calling me.

Come on, tell them!

I'm sick of these scumbags
blaming society for everything

and thinking we have to pay
for all their vices.

I only asked for some change.

You and your spawn
are a bunch of losers.

You act like
you don't give a shit,

but you would die
to have a little bit of power.

You know what?
Fuck you!

Fuck you and all those like you

that walk in the parks
talking to the benches,

smelling like shit and
complaining about everything.

Don't you dare look into my eyes

without taking a bath first,
you asshole.

What?

You don't believe me?

Are you going to believe-

Enough, miss.

That was a lovely speech.

This is a respectable person.

I've known him for long.

He doesn't look good,
it's true,

but he, as a citizen,
has the same rights as you.

So no one here will say
who is guilty.

Who saw what happened?

I did.

I saw the man approaching her,
asking for a dime,

and the woman began to beat him
like a psycho!

Yes, sir, I saw it too!
She beat him!

He's a good man.

He eats every day at home,

and he always prays
before meals.

She went crazy!

Someone can give a statement?

We can!

Get up, sir.
Get up.

No, no.
Leave me alone.

I only ask for dimes.

I am a devotee,
and what else can I do?

Turn the other cheek.

Put that away, ma'am.

You should be ashamed.

What the hell
was I looking for?

She's completely crazy.

Today is going to be
a weird day.

Pardon me?

The solar eclipse and all that.

Today's eclipse.

A total solar eclipse.

The night will fall.

Today?

Yes, in an hour.

It's so strange.

And this spring day
in the middle of winter.

When did that ever happen?

It's all because of
global warming.

I'm telling you,
this world is going crazy.

Tell me about it, ma'am.
Tell me about it.

- Is this everything?
- Yes.

Nineteen and twenty cents.

Keep the change.

Good morning.
How are you doing?

Hello, dear!

- Hello.
- Hello.

What?
You came to visit someone?

No, no.
I rent out an apartment here.

Oh, on which floor?

The fourth.

- 4B?
- Yes, 4B.

It has been unoccupied
for a long time.

Everyone here is old.

I can't talk to anyone!

Yeah, right.

How cute is your accent!

What part of Spain
are you from, miss?

Barcelona.

Oh, how beautiful.

I'm also Spanish, from Cadiz.

Well, not me,
my parents are from there.

They came after the civil war.

Oh, the hunger
they went through!

If you knew the stories I heard.

Yeah, it's been
a long time since that,

and Spain is better now
with the crisis and such,

but we are not nearly as bad
as you are.

What was all that mess
in front of the supermarket?

I really don't know.

They treated me
as if I was crazy.

I might be losing my mind
a little bit.

And that nosy police officer
interfered.

Oh, Gabriel.
He's a good boy.

He was put there
after the thefts.

They got robbed three times
with shotguns.

I told you,
this world is going crazy.

Recently, someone tried
to break into the apartments.

I saw them, but they won't get
into my house so easily.

No, dear

They are like cockroaches.

When the police gets here,
they're gone.

And they think
I imagine those things.

I told all these old folks,
in all shades,

"Close the door;
keep it locked."

They say yes,
but then they don't do it.

They forget, you know?

Oxygen is not fed
to their brains.

Listen, dear,
if you come to live here,

could you help me with that?

Sure.

I won't live here,
but I'll tell the tenant.

- Well, bye, dear.
- Bye.

Oh, and a pleasure to meet
a compatriot.

Ole!

I locked the door

because the place
is a little bit unsafe.

Of course, the client
doesn't need to know about it.

By the way, he called.

He said he'll be here
in a half hour or so.

She is Victoria,
from the real estate.

Hello.

Miss Sanchez?

Did you bring the contracts
to review them?

When Jorge called me,
I was nearby.

I came to oversee
the transaction

so that we were all satisfied.

Don't worry.

Contracts will be here
when our client arrives.

I hope so.

Well, we have time
to drink a cup of coffee, right?

Can I have my phone?

Will someone come to supervise
your part of the contract?

It won't be necessary.
I'm a lawyer.

Something wrong?

No, no.
Nothing.

Weirdo.

- Yes?
- Marga.

Hi, Ignacio, what's up?

Ferres is here.

Look, I'm busy now.

I'll be there
in 45 minutes or less.

What?
Are you not coming?

No, no.
I said I'll go later.

Marga, I don't think
I need to tell you

how important this meeting is.

Well, don't say it.

And what should I do?

Cover me, damn it.

You know the terms
of the agreement.

Yes, but I don't have
your legs, Marga.

Shave them!
Damn!

Do something!

You know you are good at it.

I don't like that comment
or whatever you meant by that.

I work more than anyone
in that office.

That's why I keep my job.

I have to come here every year
for two months

to supervise all of you.

I can't tell if it's a reward
or a punishment.

First, Marga, I had
a horrible lunch with Ferres

at some place that serves

the Mediterranean food
you love so much.

So please don't talk to me
about gender equality now,

because you'll make me sick.

Second, as far as I know,
our supervisor is Joaquin.

Next year, when I return to this
filthy country with a promotion,

I don't want to hear you
begging for your life.

Third, Ferres is your client
and your commission.

But we are on the same team,
Ignacio.

Are you going to do something
or not?

Are you really not coming,
Marga?

What is more important
than this?

I'm going to kill
a compatriot of yours.

Then I pay a bribe
to set me free.

That's how it works
in your country, right?

Do whatever you want.

If Joaquin finds out,
I won't take the blame.

Just cover me.

Okay, but I hope you
consider treating me

like a special client sometime.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Do you need something?

No.

I could have sworn-

May I help you?

Yes, please.

So you're the boss
of the agency?

No, I'm above Jorge.

Oh, you are a supervisor?

Kind of.
We call my role "driver."

Does it work?

We're doing fine.

We are very organized,

and everyone is incredibly
efficient in their role.

It's a group
that complements perfectly.

I'm very proud.

I was in charge
to recruit the right people.

Nowadays, we have a dream team.

- Sugar?
- No, thanks.

It's crucial
to rely on your teammates.

I wish I could say the same,
but in my office,

they don't know
what teamwork is.

They all want to walk over you.

Anyway, I don't understand why

your client is paying
so much for this.

It's not worth it.

Salva-

Mr. Salva has no money issues,
specifically.

What he lacks is time.

We've been working on this
for weeks.

If you knew how hard it is
to please him,

you'd be surprised.

But don't worry.

I think this is exactly
what he is looking for.

Yeah, but I still don't get it.

He can afford something better.

It's more or less what I pay
for my apartment in Barcelona,

in Spain, not here.

Jorge, your coffee
is getting cold.

Don't worry.

He said he'll be here
in 20 minutes.

It's not that.

I assured the apartment
would be perfect.

What if it's not
the right place?

Salva is the only one
who can be sure.

It will be fine.

Don't worry.

No.

Jorge, don't.

It is a very important
operation for him.

Actually, it's important
for everyone.

We've been through
difficult times.

We've barely slept.

Therefore is the importance
of the pyramid.

There has to be few at the top
to cheer up the others.

Jorge is a good man,
a little impulsive, though.

Do you know what I mean?

Yes, you know what I mean.

Thanks.

Hello.

Hi, Marga, it's me.

Hi, Luis, how are you?

Fine, and you?

YOU seem nervous

No, it's just that
I wasn't expecting you.

I couldn't be there
for 15 days, you know?

I missed you.

- Really?
- Seriously.

I left you a message
on the voice-mail.

- Have you heard it?
- No.

Are you busy?

No, I'm in the middle
of something,

but I'll tell you later.

Tonight?

Okay, in your house or mine?

Are you going to start
with that again?

No, it was a joke.

Tell me, why not?
Why can't we?

Your wife is in your house,
and my sister is in mine.

I know.

Well, then where do we fuck,
in your car?

You don't have to be rude.

Sorry.
Forgive me.

I know you're going to talk
to her when she gets better.

Hey, I love you.
You hear me?

Yes.

Should we meet
in the same place?

At 8:30, okay?

Yes, perfect.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Have you heard about
today's solar eclipse?

An eclipse?
Today?

Yes, it's going to be
a total eclipse.

It might get dark
in a little while.

An eclipse.
Why today?

You're so dumb, Jorge!

"Why today?"
Why not?

What is so special?

It can happen any day.

Nothing, it's just weird.

I don't know;
the neighbor told me that

when I was in the supermarket.

Maybe it's a lie.

There's no problem.

Night can come.

I brought a lamp.

Was that in here?

No, I brought it.

No, you didn't bring anything.

I brought it.

Jorge said we might need it.

There might be a broken shade
in this old house,

and you can't make a deal
in the darkness.

Remember that apartment
we were showing?

Where was it?

Constitucion?

Yes, Constitucion.

It was a mousetrap.

We were beginning
with the real estate agency,

and that was one of the first
apartments we had for rent.

Do you remember what happened?

Of course I remember,
those two stoners.

She gave me
my first seller's lesson.

What time was it?
Around 8:00?

No, earlier, about 6:00.

It was winter,
and it was getting dark.

A young couple was going
to see the apartment.

They didn't have much money,
but that wasn't the problem.

They were two idiots.

I think they would have rented
a place on the subway stairs

even if someone would have
taken advantage of them.

No, you're being modest.

They were a little romantic.

A little hippie too.

The kind of people
that won't have a TV

because they think it is
a capitalist invention.

Two assholes, right?

Exactly.

The thing is that they were
coming at 8:00,

and we got there at 7:00.

We were going to clean,
to sweep up rat shit,

to open a window
to have fresh air,

as long it didn't face a dump,
things like that.

But-

But when we got there,
we heard some noises.

I thought they were rats.

But they weren't rats.

They were two drug addicts,

two guys in their early 20s,
homeless.

I was about to call the police
when Victoria had a great idea.

Sure, because if we had
called the police,

we were going to be in trouble.

They sneaked in through
the window to smoke some crack

and spend the night.

We had to think fast.

And I came up with an idea.

We look for some clothes-

Because the old tenants
left some clothes.

The problem is that it was
a woman who lived there.

So we had nothing
but woman's clothing.

While the guys
changed their clothes,

we cleaned the apartment fast,

and when the clients arrived,
there was Jorge, me,

and a beautiful gay couple.

The guys were pretty bad actors,

but the other couple
was so sentimental

that it worked out just fine.

We rented the apartment.
They didn't haggle a cent.

And the two junkies?

We gave them some money,

and I told them
they had to leave.

Their contract was
for one night.

Will you excuse me?
Hello?

Margarita, where are you?

Oh, hi, Joaquin.

I haven't been able to call you.

What happened?

I left you a message.

A message?
When?

- 15 minutes ago.
- I haven't heard it.

I talked to Ignacio, though.

I told him I was going to
get there a little bit later.

Great!
What about Ferres?

Excuse me, Joaquin,
I can't go yet.

You know I've never
stood anyone up.

Well, there's no reason
to start now!

It's an important day.

Every day is important.

Yesterday I stayed until
midnight with the Brazilians.

Don't tell me that every day
is important, Margarita.

What else are you going
to tell me?

The story about a brick
on top of another?

That each worker makes
a company great?

That a company
is a large family?

I taught you all that,
Margarita.

Is that clear?

Yes, Joaquin, you see,
the thing is-

Anita, my sister.

What happened?

Well, she-

last night, she went
to a party with a friend.

And this morning when they
returned to her friend's house,

she lives in Constitucion,
you know?

That horrible neighborhood.

They found two junkies smoking
inside the house,

God knows what kind of drug

that is used in this country
to get high,

and they threatened the girls
with knives,

and then-

God, I'm so embarrassed.

What?

Then they-they started
groping them.

The girls cried for help,

and the junkies left.

Poor thing, she's in shock

Fuck, are you for real?

I'm sorry.

Well, Joaquin,

we are two women alone
in this country

that is no-man's-land.

- We are used to it.
- Sure, sure.

But I would ask you
to keep this between us, please.

Of course.

I'm a little embarrassed,
and for Anita's sake.

Yes, Marga, don't worry.

I'll tell Nacho
to take care of Ferres.

Take your time.

No, no.

I'll handle Ferres.

No one will defeat me.

Besides, it's what Anita
expects from me,

to be strong.

Well, call Ferres to arrange
a new appointment.

He is going to stay longer
at lgnacio's office.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Don't worry.
I'll call him.

Well, okay.

Cheer up and give a kiss
to Anita from me.

Thank you very much, Joaquin.

Thank you for trusting me.

No problem, girl.

I'll talk to you later.

Motherfucker.

Have you seen my keys?

No, you took them
when you went to buy coffee.

No, I didn't.

How did you
open the door downstairs?

How did you open
the door for her'?

- With the entry phone.
- Obviously.

Maybe you dropped them
somewhere around here

while talking on the phone.

No, I wasn't carrying them,

and I didn't have them
at the front door.

Well, maybe you dropped them
while you were shopping, right?

No, certainly not
I swear that-

Well, we're in trouble

because in the room
next to the kitchen-

Which one?
The laundry room?

No, the other.

Well, I heard a noise.

I think there might be a rat.

It wouldn't be good
to find a rat

while Mr. Salva is in here.

The key to that door is on
my key chain with the other keys.

Although I think it is stuck,
it was open when I arrived.

Don't worry.

I don't think that
Mr. Salva is afraid of rats.

He won't be intimidated by that.

Besides if the door is closed,

the rat will not get in
or go out.

So everyone is happy.

That's great,
but I need my keys.

You're right.

Besides, Mr. Salva
will be here any time now.

Well, I'll look for them.

Uh, and what happens
if Salva comes?

We show him the apartment
and see what he thinks.

I'll be right back.

Elevator!

Shit.

Where R is the number
of sunspot.

"THE SUN WILL BECOME DARK
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD

"BEFORE THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE
DAY OF THE LORD COMES.

JOEL 2:31"

I lost my keys.
Have you seen them anywhere?

Why don't you look inside
your cunt, you filthy whore?

Do you need something, ma'am?

I lost my keys.

What happened to your eyebrow?

I am looking for my keys.
I'm not doing anything wrong.

I just want to know
if you have seen them or not.

No keys over here.

You might be looking
in the wrong place.

Would you like
to clean yourself?

She tried to hit me again.

Mr. Salva?

No.
Margarita.

Your credit is insufficient
to make this call.

What?

Your credit is insufficient
to make this call.

- I didn't find them.
- What?

The keys, couldn't find them!

But I'm sure they were-

Mr. Salva.

No, no, no.

He is Alberto,
and she is Angela,

from the real estate.

They came because-

I know, because it is
a very important deal.

You were working for weeks,

and you have barely slept
in days.

Is something wrong?

Why do you ask?

Oh, no, nothing.

Have you brought the contracts?

Not really, no.

Emilio, our lawyer,
is going to bring them.

He and Salva should be
getting here in any minute.

I hope so,
because it's about time.

Time for what?

Jorge said that
you had to leave early.

Jorge, are you sure
you don't have my keys?

No, why would I want your keys?

Maybe you took them
without realizing.

No, I'm sure I didn't.

Well, can you check, please?

I mean,
if you could please check

if they are in the box
over there

or in your pockets
or somewhere.

Miss Sanchez,
you opened the door,

left the keys,

gave me your cell phone
so I could speak to Victoria,

and while I was talking,
you closed the door

and went out to buy coffee.

Jorge, don't worry.

When Mr. Salva is finished
signing the contracts,

I'll call a locksmith
to change the lock.

I'll ask the building manager

for a copy
of the front door key.

We'll pay for it.

We will not have an argument
over a bunch of keys.

Listen, why don't we solve
the situation

with Miss Sanchez now?

Because we won't do that
until Mr. Salva

says the apartment is okay.

Also, we don't have
the papers to do so.

Well, I insist
we find a solution now,

so we don't have her waste
any more time.

Don't insist.
It is not possible.

And if it's not possible,
it's beyond question, Jorge.

And, Jorge, next time you finish
the minutes of a cell phone,

say it.

What?

You finished the minutes
of my cell phone.

I only called Victoria.

Well, it had to be
a very long conversation, right?

Because I had
more than 60 pesos,

and now I have nothing.

Miss Sanchez,
you spoke after I did.

Are you trying
to call me a liar,

crazy, or something?

Because I don't seem to get it.

Okay, we don't
have to be friends,

but let's be cordial, please.

I have been cordial.

I gave him my cell phone,
and he left me with nothing.

And now I can't make
phone calls.

We'll pay for that as well.

Don't worry.

Does anyone have a cell phone?

I need to make an urgent call.

Anyone?

No, with the rush.

We're all pretty upset.

Come on, Mr. Salva.
Come on.

Did you hear that noise?

- What?
- What?

I don't know.

Something fell down
in the kitchen.

I didn't hear anything.

No, neither did I.

Well, I did.

Perhaps it was the wind coming
from the laundry room, right?

No, Jorge.
No.

That's the sound of the wind,

and that's how it sounds

when something falls
to the ground.

I can still distinguish
one thing from the other,

even if I lose my keys,

I'm accused of abusing
a homeless pervert,

I fall headlong down the stairs,
I hear noises in my head,

people treat me like I'm crazy,
or I'm about to lose my job.

I don't think I'm Napoleon yet.

But who knows?
It's still noon.

There is still time.

The noise came from there.

Let's see.

What do you see?

Do you see the rat?

Whatever has made that noise

must be something
more like Godzilla.

No, it's not a rat.

So what is it?

I don't know.

It looks-it looks like
a sack of potatoes.

If it's a sack of potatoes,

it certainly is not going
to cause problems, right?

What's the problem, exactly?

The problem is that
it was not there before.

Maybe it was there,
and you didn't see it.

But then where did it come from?

Let me understand this.
What is the problem?

The sack or the potatoes?

The problem is that
a sack of potatoes

does not appear
spontaneously anywhere.

It sounds obvious or stupid,
but things work that way.

And don't look at me like that.
It's true.

Yes, it is true.

It looks like
a sack of potatoes.

It doesn't mean
that it's full of potatoes.

It can be anything.

Did you return after
the last tenants left?

No.

Well, there can be toys in it,

clothes, something like that.

Yes, maybe
I didn't see it before.

No need to worry.

It's okay.

Quiet, Margarita.

Easy.

It's all good.

It's all right.
Okay, Margarita?

Who drives the car?
Who drives the car?

You drive the car.

You are driving the car.

I'll see if the neighbor
on the second floor

will lend me her phone.

Hey, by the way,

what were you carrying
in those boxes?

Boxes?

What boxes?

The boxes you brought
in the elevator.

We didn't bring any boxes.

Yeah, but there were boxes
in the elevator.

They didn't bring anything.

Are you sure you're okay?

Who is it?

Hi, I'm Marga,

your neighbor
from the fourth floor.

We met awhile ago.

Hello, darling!

Hello, how are you?
I hope it's not a bad time.

Not at all.

It's just that I have
a problem,

and I'm out of minutes
on my cell phone.

Well, I was wondering if you had
a phone that I could use

to make a phone call.

It's local.
It's a matter of life or death.

Of course.
Come in.

Do you feel all right, dear?

Yes.
Perfectly.

You don't look good.

I better bring you
something warm.

Is tea okay?

No, don't worry, ma'am.

Well, make your phone call.
I'll take care of it.

- Hello.
- Ignacio, it's Marga.

Oh, Marga, what is it?

There is a word
for people like you:

backstabber.

Hey, why so much anger?

Why?

Because we're supposed
to work as partners.

We work for the common good,

and when that happens,
pettiness is left aside.

Marga, I don't understand
what you mean.

I'm saying
you're a piece of shit.

You wanted to fuck me,
you little bastard?

You're nothing but a slug
full of salt

writhing on the floor.

A slug?
Marga, that's so mean.

Look, Ferres was my client,
and he still is.

I've talked to Joaquin,
and he has no problem.

So let me talk to the old pig.

I know he's in your office.

Oh, yeah, you talked to Joaquin
about your sister.

Tough.

Did he tell you?

Yes, and, you know,
it's kind of weird.

I forgot to tell you
when we spoke,

your sister called.

Bastard.

She was looking for you
a half hour ago.

She said she called
your cell phone

and left a voice-mail,

but I don't know
what she wanted to tell you.

The thing is, we talked awhile.

Well, she sounded just fine.

What the hell do you want?

You want my commission?

If that's what you want,
fuck you!

Because you won't get it.
You hear me?

When I get back to Spain,
I will make sure

that they will hear a lot
of shit about you upstairs.

I will make your life much more
miserable than it already is.

Do you understand?

Calm down, Marga.

I don't want the old man.

I don't give a shit about him.

And besides,
he doesn't want me.

He wants you.

I can figure out why.

I was thinking
of something else,

something more rewarding,

something to forget
the conversation

I had with your sister.

Son of a bitch.

I'm not a bad guy, Marga.

Should we meet
in the coffee shop

in front of here at 9:00?

If it's for a cup of coffee,
all right.

If not, at your house, at 10:00.

And take a shower.

Okay, I'll take a shower
and send you a message.

All right,
but don't expect an answer.

I don't have minutes.

I can't even hear
my fucking voice-mail.

Is it a phone from the company?

Yes.

Star, 6-5-4.

They'll give you some minutes.

Okay, and now can I talk
to the old pig, please?

I brought strawberry tea.

The bag is still inside
so be careful.

I just bought it
at the supermarket.

Oh, you shouldn't bother.

Drink it.
It's good for the nerves.

I'll go get sugar
if you want to add some more.

Yes.

Hello, Mr. Ferres.
How are you?

Oh, Marga!
Glad to hear from you again.

Hey, I'm sorry
about your little sister.

It's unbelievable
the moral degradation

that this country
has fallen into.

It is filled with blacks,
queers, and perverts.

When I started
doing business here,

it was something else.

It was before
all this corruption.

Anyway, how is she?

Who?

Who?
Your sister, my dear!

She's okay, you know,
a little bit shocked.

Sure, poor thing

Anyway, I wanted to have
everything set with you

before I go back to Barcelona,

because otherwise it will take
a couple of weeks.

We can meet there
when you return.

But I thought maybe
we could meet tonight.

But if it's not possible,
no problem.

Yes, it's possible,
Mr. Ferres.

I will leave Ana in the house

with some friends
that live downtown.

She doesn't want to go home now.
We're both alone.

And we could meet up
around midnight.

If it's not too late for you.

No, not at all.

Wonderful.

Let's close this issue,

and we can have a drink,
just as friends.

What do you think?

Without worrying about business.

Yeah, right.
That's perfect.

In the bar of my hotel?

Okay, great, Mr. Ferres.
Good-bye.

Bye, Marga, bye.

Have you finished it already?

Yes, the truth is,
that was delicious.

But I have to go.
I have a lot of things to do.

Now?
So soon?

I wanted to talk for a while.

I wanted to know things
about Spain.

I want to go there so bad.

Yes, I can imagine.

Thanks for everything.

Well, hopefully
we'll meet again.

And take it easy.

You look so worried.

And you're too pretty and young
to be like that!

You have three pesos.

First new message.

Hello, my love.

I wanted to hear your voice,

but I don't think
it will happen.

I came back before
because I miss you.

About the issue, don't worry.
It is practically solved.

I love you.
Call me.

Second new message.

Marga, it's Joaquin.

I've been calling you
for a while

to talk about Ferres.

I know you finished late
with the Brazilians,

but don't forget that we have
an appointment with him, okay?

Third new message.

Marga, hey, I've received
a call from the real estate.

The agent had a car accident
and won't make it.

So they have apologized

and said that they will call you
this afternoon

to arrange another appointment.

I didn't arrange anything

because I'm not good
for those things.

You always say I'm so slow,
so I didn't want to ruin things.

Who is it?

It's Marga, your neighbor
from the fourth floor.

Hello.
What a surprise, so soon!

Hello, can I come inside
for a moment?

Yes, dear, come in.

There are some people
at my apartment.

I don't know who they are.

It's too long to explain,
but we have to call the police!

But how did they come
into to your house?

Because he told me
he was a real estate broker.

No.
No, no, no.

You told him that.

We have to call the police.
That's what we have to do.

Calm down, dear, calm down.

Who is the agent?

Didn't you call him?

Yes.
Well, no, no.

What do you mean exactly?

It seems to me
that you are not okay.

Enough!
I'm perfectly fine!

Damn, everyone telling me
the same.

I think tea will help

Jose!

Jose!
No.

Jose.
Why?

Jose, why?

It can't be.

I talk to him...

and I feed him.

- Did you hear that?
- No.

Ma'am, we need
to call the police.

It was an accident.

I dropped the tea accidentally.

I wanted to tell you,

but I was embarrassed,
so I ran out.

It's him.

Him?
Who?

The real estate broker.

He didn't know we were here.

That's why he was buzzing
on the apartment next door.

Nobody lives next door.

- I better go.
- No!

No! No! No! No! No!

Who is it?

Hello, is Marga there?

Yes.

Are you the realtor?

No, I am not.

See'?
He's a phony!

I am her husband.

What?
I'm not married.

Ma'am, we've been married
for five years.

Notice that she wears
on her right hand,

a silver ring with a tear.

It's our wedding ring

It's my mother's wedding ring.

She died, and I-

That's not true, Maggie.

Why don't you shut up, asshole?

My goodness, here we go again.

Ma'am, this is one of the guys

who was trying
to enter the building.

Don't you see?

No.

How do you call the police
in this fucking country?

No.

Ma'am!
Ma'am!

Shut up, or I'll kill her.

You told me
when we were downstairs,

you thought
you were going crazy.

We're sorry, ma'am.

We will not bother you again.

Let me go, asshole.

Okay, stop fucking with me.

What do you think?

You think you're gonna
have my apartment

without paying a dime?

You better let me go now!

Shut up!
Okay?

This is too stressful for us
to handle more complications.

So you like the electricity.

Jorge, stop!

Do you want all the neighbors
to find out what we're doing?

If they didn't find out
already.

Keys?

In the pocket.

Come on.
We're running out of time.

I don't think Salva is coming.

He should be here by now.

Shut up, okay?

Salva has never let us down.

But maybe we did.

No, it can't be that.

I talked to him awhile ago.
He's just delayed.

But he will arrive on time
and will come with us.

At least think of that
as a possibility.

Perhaps he is tired
of our incompetence.

Didn't you realize
that Emilio hasn't come either?

Emilio is special for him,
and you know that.

Emilio is special
because he actually does

the things Salva asks for.

Salva is coming.

He did everything for us.

If you don't believe in him,
leave.

You're a bunch of cowards.

I'm not a coward.

And I do believe in Salva.

But I also believe
we aren't worthy.

Are we going to discuss this
much longer?

We have a lot to do.

You're forgetting one detail.

Did you bring the ropes?

Yes.

We will tie her up
until everything is over.

Tie her?

This woman can jeopardize
our mission.

Do you have a better idea?

Shoot her in the head.

Nobody would say that
you're an intelligent person

when you come up
with these caveman solutions.

I also think
she might cause problems.

And I think what Jorge says
is quite intelligent.

We haven't studied this
for many years

just for this chick to come
to ruin everything.

Do I have to remind you

that this is the only
opportunity we'll have

in our lifetime?

No.

No, I haven't seen anything.

I'm not going to tell, really.

I will not say anything.

Please, please.

Don't do anything crazy,
please.

It doesn't matter
what you've seen.

You just don't know a thing.

If you only knew
what we were doing.

Enough.

Until Salva gets here,
you do what I say, Jorge.

Alberto, think clearly.
You're a driver.

You got a lot of responsibility.

Jorge, tie this woman.

- Victoria, I think-
- Tie this woman!

I'll help you.

Angela, go help Victoria
with the boxes.

No. No. No.

Where do we take her?

Let's tie her in the kitchen.

Beware of the jars.

I dropped one on the stairs

while waiting
for Jorge's signal to come in.

Stay still, okay?

Nice invention, huh?

Angela, you brought the ropes,
right?

The Founding Fathers could
have given this a good use.

I've already told you.
Look in the other box.

It's such a pity
I can't take much with me now.

South American shit!

Good for nothing!

Because you're so smart, right?

You should have seen your face
when I mentioned euros.

Something changed in your face,
the twinkle in your eyes.

Pathetic.

Sometimes we pay a very high
price for money, you know?

Thackeray said that.

That's so deep, Jorge!

Why don't you slice your throat

and see how much time it takes
for you to bleed to death?

In time, in time.

What are you doing?

What are those candles for?

A ritual?

Not exactly.

Are you a satanic cult?

I don't even know
how to explain.

The Wolf Number,
do you know what that is?

You don't, right?

Are you a sect?

No, we're not a bunch of crazy,
brainwashed people.

Each one of us has done
some very important research.

And Salva?

Salva tells us what to do.

He's-

He's your leader?

Our guide

He spent a lifetime
deciphering cycles.

He's like a Messiah?

No, not at all.

He understood that sunspots
were the key,

their connection
with the cycles,

the 22 years.

The great cycle that goes from
September 1, 1859, until today,

today precisely.

But you don't know
what that means

or what couples are

and why we needed to find
the driver and the driven.

We found the ideal place
to begin our journey.

The greatest journey
ever made by any man.

And today we will start it.

You are all crazy.

You asked me.

We knew you wouldn't understand.

Don't you see?
You've been brainwashed.

No, I feel sorry for you,

for all of those that have been
told not to use aerosols,

for those convinced
that the Earth is warming

just because it is convenient
to use another kind of fuel.

You have never seen
the biggest force,

capable of erasing everything

from the face of the Earth
in an instant.

You see it coming out
and hiding all the time.

But you don't know anything.

Enough.

We can't continue
to waste our time with her.

No, what are you gonna do?
What are you doing?

No. No!
No! No!

Do you realize that no one
will ever know about this?

It's such a heavy weight.

She is not okay like this.

Stay still.

You're going to cut yourself.

I told you
we had to get rid of her.

She's a fighter.

Yes, but you
shouldn't fight a battle

unless you are convinced
that you can win the war.

Jorge!

Hello.

I am your neighbor
from the second floor.

I came to bring her cell phone.

She left it in my house.

But I think I have
the wrong apartment.

No, ma'am.

You're not wrong;
it is here.

Finally, all of us together.

Just in time, Mr. Salva.

Mr. Salva, what should we do
with these two?

Take her to another room.

Who's the other one?

She is the owner of the house.

She's a menace.

It doesn't matter, Jorge.

Let her stay.
Let her watch.

Are you curious?

Take her with us.

We can't be rude.
She's our hostess.

Cell phones
or anything like that?

Only hers.

Out.

I see everything
is set to begin.

It seems to be the right place.

Very good job.

Congratulations.

I'm very happy
about your teamwork

You dealt with crisis,
complications.

Congratulations.

I'm sure you will be rewarded
for the work you've done.

Go to your place.

Is this the female?

Yes, she is.

Excellent choice.

A strong race.

If any of you has
the slightest doubt on your soul

about what you are going to do,

this is the moment
to leave our circle.

Do you feel it?

It's coming.

Now.

No!

Let me go through this again.

Apartment B on the fourth floor.

Is it yours?

Yes.

You don't live there,

but you were inside before
and during the eclipse?

Yes.

Were you there when they killed
the black woman?

When she was beheaded?

I've told you a thousand times.

She was killed
by those six guys,

who committed suicide
right after that.

In your apartment?

Why don't you go up
and check for yourself?

Come with me, ma'am.

I want you to see something.

We found two bodies
in your apartment, ma'am.

One of a beheaded black woman,

one of an old lady, a neighbor.

But there is no trace
of the bodies

of the six individuals who,
according to you,

are guilty of these facts.

No one saw any member
of this sect

entering or leaving the place,

but many neighbors told us
that you have provoked incidents

shortly before the murders.

Now you have to come with me
to the police station

so I can understand

how half a dozen people
disappear without a trace.

Or until I hear
a more believable story.

"YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING
PENUMBRA"

To the milkman, the policeman

The postman, the newsagent

I said hi!

I got used to living with them

And not to tell them
what I know

They think they are normal

And I treat them as such

Not showing

The sickness that I feel

Shaking their hands
and answering

I'm fine, and you?

And you tell me

That I'm a paranoid

But it is true

Sure, they're watching us

Sure, they're chasing us

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and ten-fingered hands

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and only ten toes

Solidarity, fraternity

Equality and compassion

A bunch of empty words

Disguised with good manners

I sing to simple things

I sing to love and world peace

They think I'm like them

They are so ugly, poor things

What a disappointment

And you tell me

That I'm a paranoid

But it is true

Sure, they're watching us

Sure, they're chasing us

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and ten-fingered hands

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and only ten toes

And you tell me

That I'm a paranoid

But it is true

Sure, they're watching us

Sure, they're chasing us

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and ten-fingered hands

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and only ten toes

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and ten-fingered hands

We are surrounded by monsters

With two eyes on the face
and only ten toes
