Starving. Let me eat what's in the dish. Shut up, bitch.

I'm starving.

Let me eat.

Shut up!

Shut your big mouth, you stupid whore.

You're not going to let me starve to death. Kill me.

Silence.

You're going to stay there as long as I want you to, and you'll eat when I let

you. You filthy whore.

You won't starve to death. I'll whip you to death first.

Let me have it. Oh, I must eat something, you understand?

Give me the dish. Tell me what I must do. Then I can eat, eat, eat, eat.

Look up there, look up there.

Who's that girl? Do you know?

Don't you know her? It's Queen Isabella.

She just arrived with Columbus and all his merry crew. We're having a big orgy,

a public orgy. You're crazy.

Who should I make love with, Isabella or Columbus?

Come on, keep moving.

Well, first, I'll make up with Isabella and Columbus.

Ah, a party.

I'll wear a lovely dress.

I love all parties.

Ingrid, will I meet the queen?

Sure, and Columbus too. Why don't you wear it to the party?

What's wrong with you?

I'll dance and we'll eat.

I wonder when it will be.

Oh, my love, my dear.

What a pity, such a grand queen, yet you know nothing of passion.

You should let Columbus discover me.

It's so nice here.

Like a castle by the sea. And we're all queens.

I'm the warden of this prison.

You are lucky to have been put in my care.

You have been tried by the tribunal and condemned to a life sentence.

You were supposed to go to the prison of Mariasma, where the women work 14 hours

a day in the salt mine.

During your trial, I realized that the crime you are guilty of could not have

been committed by a normal woman.

I convinced the authorities to allow you to come here.

This is a prison of correction.

In this institution, we use methods which will restore you to mental health.

Don't imagine it'll be easy here for you, however.

We will not be indulgent. You will be shut up in a special cell where we will

persuade you to cooperate with us. Guard, take her away. As you command.

First, you must sign this paper to permit us to treat you with shock

Nestor, come here.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Do you remember Juliet Amoro, who came here a few days ago?

Of course. She's been waiting two days to be received by you, sir. She's been

conditioned, then.

Your Excellency, I'm not sure, but I think she's ready for you now.

Fine. Bring her to me at midnight.

As you command, Your Excellency. You are dismissed for now. Yes, sir.

What earthly things are they doing to her to make her scream like that?

I can't stand her screaming anymore. They're driving me crazy.

You shouldn't worry like that.

They're having fun with her.

They're playing.

They like to play games with girls.

Oh, now they're dancing with her.

They're getting ready for the ball. It will be a royal orgy.

Queen Isabella has invited everyone.

Rasputin, Cleopatra, Columbus, of course.

Everyone who was anyone.

I'll be the bell of the ball.

Oh, and I'll ball everyone.

Can I play ball with you too?

I realize you've been kind to me, Mr. Governor.

You have freed me from the shock treatment.

I'm grateful.

Your clothes.

Remove them.

If it's my body you want, I'll give it to you.

Don't.

You disgust me.

Your treatment here is going to become much worse. So don't thank me.

Get down there.

She dared to touch me, that slut.

Nestor.

Then what is it you want from me? I'll show you what I want.

Nestor.

Nestor.

Your Excellency.

Okay, she's all yours.

At your service.

She's just a degenerate. Like a cat in full hate.

Keep your mouth shut about this or I'll whip you again.

No, I promise.

I won't tell.

new to report? Nothing, Sergeant.

Very well.

You'll serve night watch again tonight.

It's not long till Christmas.

La, la, la, la, la, la.

I'll bake a fruitcake.

I want a doll.

Santa Claus is da, da.

We'll have a big tree and we'll decorate.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

I want a baby doll.

I'm a doll, a real doll.

Touch me.

Will you hang up your stockings for Santa Claus, Ingrid?

Don't you two ever shut up.

What's the matter?

Bertha doesn't believe in Santa Claus.

She's a bad girl.

Santa won't bring her anything.

wrong sex for you.

Won't you please leave me alone?

Please go away.

But what's the matter with you? We could comfort

each other. Won't you let me love you?

I don't need more love.

So leave me alone.

What do you know about love?

I know too much about love.

I loved my brother.

I was very jealous.

Mad with jealousy.

I murdered him with his own gun. That's a very sad story.

But he's better off dead than we are here in this place. He can spend

with all the ancient kings and queens.

All the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. An eternal orgy.

Your brother is lucky.

He can make love with anyone.

Even the bride of Frankenstein. I adore Frankenstein.

I want to talk to the directress immediately.

Do you know where she is?

No, sir. You don't know?

Go find her, then. Good morning, Governor.

I wasn't expecting you to pay us a visit.

We'll join you right now. No, don't bother.

I'll join you.

I'm sorry I arrived unannounced, but I have some urgent business to discuss

you.

Very disturbing has happened. Must be very urgent to bring you here.

Well, it could be extremely urgent and may have serious consequences.

Read this.

Your Excellency, in the tower of this prison there is a place where inmates

tortured. Don't believe what the Director says. She's responsible for

I wonder who wrote that.

There's no doubt about it. One of the prisoners. How was it possible for a

prisoner to send it out?

I regret this incident, but I promise, Mr. Governor, this will never happen

anymore. It could have been very embarrassing for you and for me.

We must pay attention.

Next time a higher -up could receive a note.

I think I might find out who wrote this letter.

I'll check through all my records and compare the handwriting.

I've called you together today to discuss with you a very serious matter.

you to listen to me very carefully.

Because one prisoner was foolish, we are obliged once again to

remind you of why you are here.

Although only one of you deserves to be punished.

That prisoner believes that she knows better than we authorities how to

corrective action in this prison.

You all must know this is no country club here. You've been found guilty of

serious crimes.

Our methods here have the approval of famous psychologists.

Yet, one of you has had the audacity to denounce our methods to the governor of

this island and to imply that we put you in solitary confinement

where you are mistreated.

And even tortured.

Well, who is guilty?

Fortunately, we've intercepted the letter.

Who wrote these lies?

And who was the guard who tried to pass the note outside the prison walls?

I'm sorry for you that the people who are responsible do not have the courage

to admit their guilt.

Unless the guilty one will step forward now.

Now it's too late.

You must all be punished.

It has been my policy to make this prison a center of rehabilitation.

Now, however, I regret that we must take stronger measures of control.

We must discipline you with whatever methods we find necessary to reassert

authority. Your daily food rations will be cut in half, and any insubordination

will be severely punished.

If you find my terms too harsh, then it's going to be up to you to find out

the guilty one is.

She must be discovered for your sake.

For new inmates, I want to make one thing perfectly clear.

We will not tolerate any form of insubordination.

If it is one of our new prisoners who is guilty, I should warn you of something.

We have certain ways to make you admit any of your mistakes.

Don't forget it.

You seem to be very nervous.

Yes. Well, you owe me 70 pesos, Costa, and this time you owe Chichope me.

This letter worries me, you know.

Perhaps we will have a government inspection.

Maybe another message has been passed.

It would be the end if someone found out I'm not Dr.

Moore.

None of the government hacks.

have the power to do anything about what's happening in this prison.

You're much too confident.

A change of government and you'd have trouble. I'm not worried about that.

You're a coward.

I'm proud of what we've accomplished here, and you should be also.

The cream of the crop is sent here.

They come from small towns and big cities.

We have everything from shoplifters to murderers.

No government inspector would dare condemn our ways because we're the worst

degenerates, female whores, pimp addicts, abortionists.

They're the lowest kind of scum.

What else can we do?

They're all like beasts.

They could turn on us in a moment.

To tame these, you put them in a cage, then you try to train them by torture

starvation, by violent beatings.

You know, they're nothing but bitches, hopheads.

Death is too good for them.

They enjoy their torture.

It's an honor for them.

Yeah, but you forget about the liberal writer and politician leftist.

No, you forget them.

They can write their stories. Who believes those journalists? The power of

is ours.

But we could lose it very quickly, huh?

If the girl who wrote the message and the one who passed it out are not found

soon.

By now you must suspect someone.

I searched through my papers. I believe I know the girl. She could have done it.

It must be that Bertha Marcus, the one who killed her brother.

She is serving a life sentence.

I didn't tell you before. Since I'm afraid of your tactics, it would be

dangerous to sign another death certificate. We've had too many heart

in this prison.

You'll sign anything that I want you to sign.

But if you don't, I might reveal your identity. The commissioner of prisons

would like to learn about you.

She'd like to find out that the medic Carlos Costa has been pretending to be

late Dr.

Moore for the last two years, ever since he terminated the good doctor's life.

And back then you didn't mind signing the document necessary to prove the

of Carlos Costa. You recall that?

It's too late now for you to stop the masquerade.

Wait.

You come here.

Come here, I said.

Come on.

You two wait there.

Hurry up.

I'll take care of this one.

No, not now.

We'll put her in the house.

Jose! Jose!

Where the bloody hell is he?

Who invited her?

How are you today?

Lovely. Simply lovely.

Welcome to your new home. You'll enjoy it.

These are your roommates. An idiot, a murderess, and a sexpot. You'll be very

cozy. If it's so cozy here, why don't you join us?

Bitch, I'll show you.

See how cozy? Look.

Just remember it later.

She deserves special care.

It's your bed now.

Behave yourself.

Are you really Queen Isabella?

I'm Maria.

Maria Antoinette. Off with her head.

The Virgin Maria?

Mother of God?

Leave me alone.

A virgin, a virgin, a virgin, a virgin, a virgin.

Who needs a virgin?

A virgin, a virgin.

What is it?

Leave the girl here. You may go back. Yes, madam.

I hope you've learned your lesson.

Yeah.

You were foolish to be so rebellious.

You know now that we have very refined ways of bringing you to your senses.

I'm obliged to use these methods to keep my authority.

Take off your smock.

Please, ma 'am, forgive me.

Kneel down.

What? Kneel down.

Do as I say. As you wish.

Crawl towards me.

Anything you want.

Crawl here, you.

Over here.

As you say.

I'm ready to do anything you want of me.

Seven months ago, when you first arrived, you were a virgin. A righteous

Are you still virginal?

Yes.

Of course, madam.

Place yourself on the table.

On your belly. Yes.

Yes.

Someone's been picking cherries.

You're not a virgin any longer.

Why not?

I don't know.

Have you been only masturbating, my dear? Yes.

I didn't like it much at first.

It's so relaxing.

I never sleep here. What a pity, poor child.

I'll bet you have made love with Ingrid.

No, never with girls.

Ingrid's made passes at me.

Who else has?

You never had sex with a man?

No. With a guard?

No. No, never with a guard.

Poor lie.

Let me help you, little one.

After you made love with him, then he carried your message to the good

You sneak.

No. You're wrong. I've done nothing.

We'll see.

Listen, my dear, if you continue to tell me lies, we'll have to punish you.

I would hate to send you back.

On the contrary, if you'll give me the name of the guard, I will forgive and

forget. I don't know what guard.

I am innocent.

You can tell me everything.

It'll be a secret between us girls.

I can make you happier than any vulgar guard.

I'm not as brutal as a man, and I could... Turn your life sentence into a

welcome confinement.

I couldn't stand it after a while. All those girls in the tower with it,

screaming. So you wrote the note.

I always knew it was you.

You are too generous.

You are very soft.

Those girls aren't worth the risk you took.

I wrote the message myself.

I was becoming insane.

I was so frightened and so broken down, all mixed up.

I decided to write a message to the governor himself. I know if I made a

mistake, what else could I do?

Oh, Lord.

You see how easy it was to tell me?

Come to me.

You must punish me for being so bad with you.

I can't. You must.

Beat me up.

Abuse me.

Come on.

You dirty, filthy bitch.

Oh, yes, yes.

Slut. Pig.

More. More.

Yes. You degenerate witch.

Enough.

Stop for now.

Jose.

Yes, ma 'am.

I want no more of that vicious slut. Take her back to solitary. No!

As you command.

You to sleep is over.

No.

Oh, please, let me alone.

No. No.

Let me be. I've got to sleep. Oh, please.

I'm going crazy.

How long have I been here?

Not more than a day.

But nothing like what you'll be after a few more days of this.

Well, well.

Chin up, old girl.

How can you be so tired?

Look at me. I'm ready for more.

Must I whip you awake?

Let me sleep.

You are beginning to bore me.

If you don't cooperate, wake up.

Come on. I may be tempted to use this rod to redesign your pretty

face and draw a tattoo on your lovely body.

Would you like that?

I'm losing my patience with you.

Why won't you smile, huh? Such a baby.

Look at me.

Come on, baby, smile.

I should flush the toilet.

A gift for the gods.

I would like to receive a gift. I'll give you a kiss.

Maria, don't you want a gift? Aren't you lonesome? You play Queen Isabella and

I'll be Columbus.

You'll show Columbus your jewels, your ruby lips, your topaz eyes, and your

like ivory.

Now Columbus discovers the world's round.

His boat sailing towards America.

What will he discover there?

Nothing. You're made of nothing but ice.

Ice, princess, that's what you are.

I'd rather have a snowman.

A snowman?

Please, I'd like sugar.

I crave a lot of sugar.

I see you have a sweet tooth.

It's bad for the health if you use too much. Excuse me, I didn't expect your

visit today. I don't have much to offer you. This is just fine.

You didn't come just for coffee.

No, of course not.

Is it true you found the one who wrote me the letter?

I am very annoyed. You might have told me yourself.

I... I had intended to send you a written report, but I've been very busy.

Yes, it's true. We have found the girl. It's Berta Marcos.

She's serving a life sentence for murder.

Do you consider her to be dangerous? No, I don't believe so.

She's very calm now, after the treatment she's received. Yes, I understand that

she has calmed down now. I would like to talk to her in private.

Do you think she's composed enough? Yes, I can calm her. And she can come to pay

me a visit.

Hmm. I should be certain she won't make any more trouble for us.

There's no danger of that.

She's lost her nerve. Now she can't make any trouble.

I know I can always count on you.

Would you like a cognac? I don't drink very much.

I must be clear -headed always to cope with all my responsibilities.

Nestor?

Your Excellency. I want the car. I must go.

I am on my way for an appointment with the President of the Tribunal.

So, madam, you will see that prisoner Berta Marcos is delivered to my private

rooms. And you, doctor, you will do as you promised.

Well, my dear.

What's that?

You're very curious.

Come on, stand up.

Turn around.

That's all.

Excuse me, Your Excellency.

As you've requested, here's the prisoner, Bert DeMarcos.

Welcome, my dear.

Your Excellency. I've been looking forward to your visit.

Nestor, take her to the bedroom.

Let's go.

Nesta, get out of here.

Touch your sack.

I will watch.

That's not very well.

What's the matter, Father?

No! Cut it out!

What's the matter with you, huh?

Nothing. I want to show you my affection.

No!

Obey me.

I won't hurt you.

Bring her to my apartment.

Do you hear me?

Come on, come on with me. Hi, big boy. You stay here. I don't want to go.

Don't you want to play with the queen?

We don't have time now.

Someone important wants to have an audience with you, Your Highness.

Move it.

What has she done?

The new girl with the angelic face. Who cares? I don't know anything.

I've learned not to be too knowy about things here.

Ah!

A mouth!

What's wrong?

I found a mouth here on my plate. Look at it!

So what?

It adds protein to your diet.

You can't make me eat that.

I'll report you.

Look, madam, there are people here who'll make you eat anything.

Let's go see them.

Not when you're singing such a pretty song.

Upsidaisy.

Sometimes I wish the revolutionists would gain control of our government.

There'd be no bleeding -heart liberal journalist writing about prison reform.

The revolutionists know that these women are the dregs of our society, and they

would eliminate them.

Yes, but if the communists come to power, you and I will be the first to be

eliminated.

You might be destroyed, but I have friends among the revolutionists, too.

I'm not worried at all. I'll survive in any case.

Doesn't matter who has the power. I know that no matter what I do here, I'll

always have the support of the government and power.

Power corrupt.

It can also go too far that prisoner Maria could die.

Yes, sometimes Nestor gets carried away, but that's your problem.

She may have a punctured bowel.

And an autopsy could reveal that fact. How can I explain that in a desperate

way? An autopsy wouldn't be permitted to pin on that.

Anyhow, I know that girl. She'll survive.

You're very fond of her, aren't you? No, she's not important.

I just don't want any more trouble.

I believe it's possible you take pleasure in your work.

You might train as little savage as you did the others.

I get tired of you and all your worries.

You middle case.

I could suffer a nervous breakdown soon.

I look at their faces, paralyzed, frozen with fright.

I prefer to hear their shrieking, their screeching as a release also to me.

I am really in ecstasy when I hear them moan.

This young bitch, Maria.

Maybe I like her dead.

It's better you should know all about her.

As you know, she's serving a life sentence for the murder of her father.

He and I were lovers for several years, that incestual beast.

For all those years, we were lovers.

The only one he really desired was his own daughter.

One day, when I went to visit him, I was amazed to see his daughter run

screaming, stark naked out of their house.

She was too hysterical to notice me.

I entered the house and found him lying on the floor. He'd knocked himself

senseless on the chimney.

No doubt as he struggled to seduce his new daughter.

All at once I understood why he had been so indifferent to me ever since his

daughter returned from the convent.

He was still alive.

I hated them both.

And I suddenly realized I could have my revenge.

Maria could never prove she was not responsible for his death.

I looked around the room.

In search of a weapon until I found a heavy metal lamp.

If she dies, I'd be relieved.

I'd feel free.

So find a way to get rid of the girl for me.

No.

No.

I, uh, find someone else.

I can do it.

Where am I?

What are you doing to me? You'll feel better soon.

You tortured me. Why?

Why?

Why must I suffer? Tell me.

Things will change.

But I can't stand it anymore. They're trying to drive me out of my mind.

Will they stop?

Can't you help me? Don't worry.

Relax. Calm down.

I will help you.

You will?

But of course I will, my dear.

I'm so grateful.

Calm down. You must rest for now. When you are rested, we'll talk about that.

Thank you.

I'll protect you.

Come to me whenever you want, and you may bring a friend. Yes.

If you and your friend are nice to me, I'll protect you both.

You were gone a long time.

You too. Yes.

The queen is not here?

Where did she go?

I have a good idea.

She's busy either with the governor or that filthy directress.

I was on that wired bed.

So was I.

What a hell.

I had to have sex with that filthy cow.

And then with that pathetic bastard.

But he might be able to help you.

He's much too important for that, too. Besides, why should he?

He's disgusting.

Better him, maybe, than that guard.

Yes.

He violated me brutally.

Oh?

A huge beast.

He's called Nestor.

He made me do such bad things, and I suffered so much.

I really can't take any more.

Why must I bear all of these things?

I'm better dead.

Buried. Forget about all those things.

You must put that out of your mind.

Should I also forget my dead mother? The

father who turned to me in his grief and who I killed?

No, I'll never be able to forget about them.

As long as I live.

There's no one left in this world who cares about me.

But I do care.

How can you mean that?

I don't have anyone either. We must take care of each other.

We'll be each other's family.

We both need someone to help us survive.

I feel better already.

Don't you?

Oh, boy, I feel like a million dollars.

You're such a lovely girl.

So are you.

When I was in the infirmary visiting the doctor, I had a wonderful idea.

Rosa, it's me.

It's Maria.

Nothing to eat.

Calm down.

She's too far gone to be helped.

suffering. I believe so.

Since they starved her almost to death, she's been out of her head. She's been

like that for a month, I think.

Smoke?

I have a whole package.

A gift from the doctor.

He's asked me to bring a friend.

Yes? It could be very important to us.

Listen.

I will ask the guard to take us to the infirmary. And when we get there, what

happens? We break out.

After we've arrived at the infirmary, he will dismiss the guard.

No one else is in the room.

We'll surprise the doctor.

We'll bash his head in, my dear.

Yes, but then where can we go?

The main thing is to break out of these walls.

Then we'll make for the sea and try to find a boat.

You're sure?

And her.

She will come with us, too. What's your plan for her?

You'll explain that she's very thick to the guard.

He will bring her with us.

It's the guard.

Let's be ready to try it.

Help! Guard, help!

What's wrong?

Rosa has become delirious.

I've never seen her this sick before. She's completely hysterical. You'd

call the doctor. She needs him now.

I'll tell him right away.

You did that very well.

Yes, Mama. Mama.

Now I lay me down to sleep and I pray the Lord my Lord to keep me.

I'll be such a good girl, Mama. I'll be your big girl tonight.

So I should bring all three prisoners to see you?

Yes. Yes, do as I told you.

Bring them to the infirmary.

I'll be through examining two of the prisoners in about an hour.

You can come back for them then.

The other one will stay until she is well.

Under there.

He hasn't dismissed God.

But it's too late to worry about him now.

He's here.

Be careful.

Good afternoon, Doctor.

This is Berta. She hasn't been feeling well lately.

Maria told me you could help me.

Will you give me the same medicine you gave Maria?

What's bothering you?

Where does it hurt, my dear?

I only have a slight headache today.

It's my friend Bertha who requires your special attention. All right, I'll

examine her right now.

No fever?

I have a heaviness in my chest. I cough, too, and I have trouble breathing.

You... Poor child.

I can see that you're not well.

Is it serious?

No, don't worry, my dear.

I have just the medicine for you.

No!

I want to leave you here. Help me, dear God.

Don't let me die.

What's the matter with you?

Be quiet.

Control yourself.

Quick, Rosa.

Let's take a nice walk out by the sea.

Oh, come on, quickly. We're in danger here. Yes.

I don't want to die. I'll take care of the guard.

It's clear.

I don't want to.

like you leave me alone. I want to go home. No, I won't play. No, no. You

No, no.

I don't want to play in the water. Stop. No.

We won't go swimming, Rosa. We'll probably find a nice boat to paddle on

sea.

We'll bring a fruitcake, huh?

We'll have a picnic, okay?

That's enough talking. Now let's get out of here.

I think I hear them. They're already on our trail. We mustn't give up. Yes, I

know. Anyway, it's only a matter of time before they catch us and shoot us.

We can't give up now, Berta.

We're exhausted.

We must find a place to hide and sleep a while.

You're right. We have to rest.

But not here.

Oh, my God.

I'm hungry.

When are we going to have the picnic?

Not now, Rosa. It's allowed, Rosa. They'll hear us.

We can start now.

Over there.

I don't want to lie down.

I want a boat ride.

Get up. Don't sleep now.

ticklish. Stop screaming.

Up, Stacey.

You slut.

Tell me where your friends have gone.

Come on, you shared a cell with them, so you were in on it, too.

No, I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, your nice friends made their break without you.

Do you want me to tickle you some more?

Keep it up.

Tell me where they are.

Confess. I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll bite that. Stop it.

Stop it.

You filthy bitch. I'll make you mad.

Bitch, tell me. I know how to make you confess.

I'll confess everything.

I'm a low, filthy woman.

I've tried sex with everything and anyone.

I'm not really Queen Isabella.

Stop that babbling. No, it's the truth.

That's enough. I drowned the king.

I've had sex with the director.

You're not fooling us. Stop acting like an idiot. I'll succeed in making you

talk. You talk, talk.

Tell us where your friends are.

You bastards.

If I knew, I'd never tell you. You dirty bitch. Never, never.

I'll rip your pot, you cunt. Chop off my head. I don't care.

I'll die like...

You'll keep your head until you talk.

Now I'm really going to make you talk.

You scum!

This is your last chance.

Where did your friends go?

Rosa, can you believe it? We're safe.

Such a beautiful boat. It can be for us.

Right. You've missed the boat.

You save us, Mr. Governor.

Huh?

We must talk to you.

Well, please do.

You must help us.

It's hell in that woman's prison.

We had no choice. We had to escape.

Your only hope.

It's not true.

You've a good friend here to help you.

Our trip is over, Rosa.
