Original subtitles

There are all whom ye have reverenced from youth.

Ye deemed them holier than yourselves.

Yet here are they all in my worshipping assembly.

By the sympathy of your human hearts for sin...

... ye shall scent out all the places where crime has been committed,

... and shall exult to behold the whole earth one stain of guilt.

Far more than this. It shall be yours to penetrate in the deep mystery of sin.

And now, my children, look upon each other.

Nathaniel Hawthorne Young Goodman Brown

¿Anabel?

¿Anabel?

¿Anabel?

THREE MONTHS LATER

You'll hear from us, thanks.

How sad!

She's so young...

... and lame.

I couldn't stand the noise she made on the floor.

To be honest I couldn't either.

She's ruled out, right?

You bet.

Damn, we are both so tired.

At least you spent all night partying.

Half of the night, remember.

Whatever...

Better that than being up all night syudying.

But if you love it.

I'd rather pass in May and avoid having to study till I drop.

Come on, a little effort now and then...

... civil servant for life.

Make fun of me.

When I am 40 and a failure as an actress It will be you who will laugh at me.

Come on, don't be silly.

So, what?

Shall we?

Yeah, come on.

My favourite is Luis.

Who is Luis?

I'm so bad with names...

Zitface.

WHAT?

Are you kidding? No!

Do you want those pimples here every day?

He seems quite trustworthy.

No way! I'm against it!

That's a fine attitude to take...

There must be someone who we both like.

The plump girl.

Give me a name.

How many fat girls have come today?

Ah!

Yes...

She came at 18.30.

Noe.

Who cares what her name is?

Do you like her or not?

I prefer a girl.

What difference does it make?

What matters now is finding a tenant.

Well, yes.

Yesterday I talked to that bastard Iturralde.

He doesn't mind if there are two or three living here.

He won't lower the rent.

It makes sense.

So we'd better rent that room now. We're losing money like idiots.

I know. I have difficulty making ends meet.

And what about someone from the bar?

You meet a lot of people there...

No... no...

I prefer a stranger.

If there are problems with the rent I don't want personal factors affect us.

You're referring to Anabel, right?

What do you think?

I see.

I guess you're right.

The important thing now is occupying her room.

The room!

That's what I meant.

And what about that Daniel?

I told you I can't recall the names. Who's Daniel?

The blond guy.

Sure!

That one! Yes!

Brad Pitt's twin! That one!

Don't exaggerate!

Hey, that guy here may be a danger.

Are you taking this seriously?

You don't find a middle ground!

Spotty Man or... Male Hottie of the Week.

He's not that hot.

I bet Aitor wouldn't be cool with that blondie staying here.

Aitor is not the jealous type.

At first maybe a little, but he's just getting over it.

Of course,Nyou never go out anymore.

However...

... if he wanted to go after one of us, it wouldn't me, that's for sure.

Come on... No shit...

Maybe the one not very happy by this blondie thing is Fernando.

Who's Fernando?

Sorry?

How can you say “Who is Fernando”?

Who's Fernando?

¡Oh, Fernando!

No, no...

That's all over now.

Already? When?

About a week ago, more or less.

But didn't you tell me you went to that party last night...?

With Simon.

The one I'm with now is called Simon.

I'm gonna stop on learning the names.

I'll bother when you are with someone more than a month.

There's no one left, right?

Open the door. Please.

THE MUTILATED ANGLE

Hello.

He's coming for the room.

Good evening.

Sorry I didn't call before coming...

... but I was just passing by and I saw the sign in the window.

Well, the truth is that...

... I don't have a cell phone.

But I saw a girl coming out of the building. A girl, you know, like...

Lame.

That's it.

I heard her say over the phone...

... that there was a room here at a great price.

So... I decided to come up.

You are looking for a room.

That's it.

May I?

I've been on my feet all day, wandering around.

Look... Frankly...

No offense...

Lucio, my name is Lucio.

Look, Lucio...

... don't take this personally but...

... you're not the kind of roommate we are looking for.

Well... I thought so.

But I had to try.

With the little money I have I can only afford renting a room.

I see...

If somebody had told me some years ago...

A person of my age who can't pay his own apartment.

After a whole lifetime of working...

... it's hard to stoop rent a little room...

... in a students' aparment.

Because you're students, aren't you?

She is...

Well, a civil service exam.

It's the best thing you can do.

And how do you end up this way? You don't seem...

Like a homeless?

There are so many like me now...

Have you been evicted?

Yes.

Shit happens...

And...

When was that?

All started over a year ago.

Suddenly everything went wrong.

First I was fired.

¿Severance payments?

After so many years my company managed to give me a ridiculous sum.

Peanuts.

Then...

... came my wife's illness.

The treatment was expensive and, sadly... it didn't work out.

Your wife...?

Then those bastards from the bank...

You think you have some savings. The pension scheme...

But when you stop paying them some months...

... the interest payments suffocate you.

I threatened to sue them but they laughed in my face.

They told me: "Do you want to sue us? Go Ahead".

But for now, come on, out the apartment and go to the shelter.

The shelter.

That's another story...

It's a good thing now in summer...

... if you have to spend the night in a park, it's not so bad.

Damn, your story should be on the news.

The news? They care about what's hot.

And evictions... went out of fashion. They aren't hot right now.

Well, I really don't want to bother you.

Thanks for listening.

Don't bother. I know where the door is.

Wait!

Thank you, Lucio.

Morning.

Good morning.

I'm starving.

Thanks.

You say the word “hungry” here and something to eat suddenly appears.

What? - Forget it. You do your duty.

Lucio...

Your finger... It's never gonna heal.

I know, but... I keep doing so many things...

Well...

I'm going to fix the faucet in the shower.

I've wanted get on that ever since I arrived...

... but I've not had one minute.

I don't understand how you could live like that for so long.

What I don't know is how we could survive without him.

Tell me about it.

Did you see? He's always in a good mood.

Thanks.

He even knows when I've got a headache.

There's no need to be a psychic for that.

As much as I try to avoid cheap liquor...

I don't understand you feel like partying all night...

... after being so many hours behind the bar serving drinks.

You sound like my fucking dad.

That's not what I meant.

Yes, sorry.

I left home to avoid listening that kind of stuff.

Forgive me.

It's OK.

As soon as I finish this I'm going to bed.

I want to sleep all morning, wake me up at lunch time...

... and then run out to an audition I've got in the afternoon.

Have you studied the role?

Nope... It's just three sentences. I'll learn it on my way.

By the way...

Don't panic if you run into Aitor. He stayed here last night.

I think you should get out more often.

No way.

This way is better. We optimize the time together.

When we get out I lose focus and then I can't study.

However if we stay here...

You fuck...

... and once he's relaxed...

... and falls asleep you take the chance to study all night, don't you?

Well... at least a couple of hours..

Beautiful!

I don't know how you manage to stretch so much your money.

By the way...

Speaking of money...

I'm sorry about the delay but this month...

Easy, easy...

Lucio has not paid his portion yet.

Are you going to tell him something?

I don't know.

Goodness, first month, first delay in payment.

But He is so nice...

I'm sure he'll pay soon.

I hope so.

I don't want to have to beg Iturralde.

He goes berserk if the rent is not paid by the 12th every month.

I have to go, I'm late.

Hey! All you have to do is cross the street.

Yeah, but I don't feel like running.

Every year it is the same story.

As soon as summer ends up, you get sick.

I know. I don’t know how I do it.

By the way...

Last night I went out with Aitor.

Really? That’s nice.

Where did you go?

We went around La Latina.

We were looking for your bar, but I couldn’t remember its name.

Sabbath.

I’d swear we got in there and we didn’t see you.

I don’t know. Maybe I had already left.

I left earlier because I felt bad.

Time.

Shit.

You have to sweat.

It's the best cure against viruses.

Hand it to me, please.

Just an ad from Whatsapp.

Fuck it.

Hasn’t he called you?

No. He hasn't.

He hasn’t bothered to call me at all.

And obviously not even considered a visit.

Does he know you are ill?

Of course he knows.

We've known each other for such a short time...

What kind of commitment can I expect?

At least a little concern... with you being ll like this...

Yeah, certainly, for a cold?

I never get intimate enough with someone so he cares about me.

I do care about you.

Because we live together. Proximity breeds affection.

I guess so...

She works hard for the money.

So hard for it, honey.

She works hard for the money.

If this doesn't make you feel better...

It smells good.

Thanks, Lucio.

You're an angel.

Only when I want to.

He doesn’t treat me the same...

Jealous...

Make her some soup too, so she shuts up.

For her... I’m going to make something else.

Better?

Different...

Well, if that's the case...

Don’t you add some lemon?

Wait a second.

Put your hands together.

How different they are...

Well...

I’m going to study, I really need it.

What a nerd...

Fair is foul and foul is fair.

Hover through the fog and filthy air.

What’s up that you are not studying?

I can’t concentrate.

Come on, I’ll help you.

Not today Lucio, thank you.

I remind you only have one week left.

I know.

At least you should try to...

I broke up with Aitor.

Take that...

Well...

It was him who broke up with me. Last night.

And how long had you been together?

Well...

Too many I guess.

It’s normal that you can’t concentrate then.

No, that’s not why I can’t concentrate.

Is it not?

No.

What worries me is... actually...

... I don't care he has left me.

After six years together...

... suddenly, he tells me he wants to give up...

... that he gets bored with me...

... he's realized our relationship drives to nowhere and...

I didn’t expect it at all.

It was a really hard blow.

But I'm here now...

... and I feel nothing.

And that’s what worries you?

Of course.

How can I spend six years with a guy...

... thinking I’m fine.

Then he leaves me and I feel nothing?

I should be fucked up.

Perhaps you feel relieved.

But I didn’t want to break up.

Are you sure?

That's what I thought.

Sometimes people believe they do want what they have...

... just because they have it.

Now it’s you who is not making yourself clear.

You understood perfectly.

By the way...

Have you told this to her?

No way.

Why not?

She is your friend...

Yeah, but you can’t count on her for serious matters.

I don’t know if I should share with you something.

Something?

About her.

I don’t know.

Is it a sensitive matter?

Not at all. It's a trivial matter but...

... it shows a bit how she is.

You tell me...

Yes, I'm going to tell you.

Last night, before Aitor dropped the bomb, we went out through La Latina

... and remembered that the bar where she works was over there.

And?

We asked about her...

... and no one works there by her name.

You see...

Are you sure that was her bar?

In fact, I wasn't really sure.

But a while ago I asked her and she confirmed that was the bar where she works.

But nobody has heard of her there.

Why would she lie?

Who knows...

Maybe she works in a worse place and she doesn't want you to know.

Who cares...

I told you it was a minor thing.

Listen, Lucio...

How long were you with your wife before...?

Sixteen years.

And...?

What?

I mean... If everything was... fine?

Fine? Yes, it was.

It's just, well, I think what worries me too is...

... that I don't know if I should think...

... about staying with somebody a long time... just like I did with Aitor.

But if you have time to spare. Don't you see?

Well, I guess so.

But do you know for what precisely you don't have time to spare?

For what?

Oh, you're right.

You know...

... actually Aitor took too much study time from me.

Well, from now on you're not going to can blame him anymore.

A year ago.

THE BOILED WORD

I don't know. Tell him something.

Two months... That's a lot already.

Two and something.

It's normal that you're worried.

Anyone in your place would have already said something to...

Yes, yes... You're right.

We can't go on like this.

We have to talk to him very seriously.

WE?

I'm not going to deal with this by myself.

The responsibility of paying Iturralde is yours.

We both accepted him as a tenant.

Hey, don't muddy the waters.

You're the one who insisted on letting him stay here.

Me?

Good evening!

Hello!

Come in!

Hi Lucio.

Hello.

Do you want anything?

We were coming to...

Do you still have this poster?

What?

Yes... I mean...

It was Anabel's and... well...

You've been here for some months and you still haven't....

... decorated the room to your taste.

Well, as a matter of fact, I hadn't thought of that at all.

Are you a Lady Gaga fan too?

No, not really... I'm more of a...

... Donna Summer guy.

Let's see...

Anabel put this poster here.

She lived here for a while.

Somehow she established a relationship with this place, with this space.

Understand?

If it's stayed here once she left...

I guess it's because...

... something of hers has remained in it.

We all leave something of ours in the things around us.

It's not fair erasing her memory as if she never existed.

Anabel doesn't deserve that.

No.

And neither does lady Gaga.

No, no.

Besides, you didn't put it away either when she left.

We didn't make a big deal of it.

That's because you didn't want to forget her.

Albeit unconsciously.

Come on...

Girls...

Didn't you come to tell me something?

Come on...

What's going on?

Lucio, we wanted to know...

... when you could give us your part of the rent.

Never.

Sorry?

I just don't have enough money.

But... has something happened to you?

No, that's not it.

But you came asking for a room.

Try to understand...

It was either that or remain in the street.

Maybe we can arrange something.

After all he's the one who is doing all the housework.

Maybe reducing his rent?

So he pays less than we do?

Yes, he might pay 10% less. Don't you think?

Yes. I agree.

And that would settle the matter, right?

No, that won't work

Why?

Because even so... I can't ends meet.

And... how much you could pay us?

As much as until now.

In other words... nothing.

But, Lucio... we....

.... we work like crazy.

Do you think she likes working so many hours in a supermarket?

And what I have to put up with every night as a barmaid?

I can imagine...

I'm afraid you're not getting it...

I understand perfectily, believe me.

I mean... you are very hardworking girls...

Lucio, you cannot stay here for free.

All right...

Then.. what can we do?

Are you going to kick me out?

Oh, my! It's so late!

I'm going to start making dinner.

Don't look at me like that.

It's not going to cook itself.

What shall we do?

You're telling me?

I already pay my share.

Well, and I pay my share.

We can't kick him out.

Specially after what happened with Anabel.

Will you shut up?

But something has to be done, right?

If I reduce some expenses... maybe... I could pay half of his share.

But...

What?

Do you bave any objection?

Objection...

Can't you afford it?

I can... but...

Then what?

If this doesn't make you feel better...

It smells great!

Thanks, Lucio. You’re an angel.

Only when I want to.

What's wrong with her?

She got fired.

I told her not to worry, that we'll overcome the situation.

You did well. It's better not to put more stress on her.

Of course.

Although...

What?

Have you thought how long you'll be able to pay for all this?

Not really. I haven't figured it out yet.

Don't worry.

It's not the best time. And her being like this.

What matters now is don't let her sink

You're right.

There'll be time to do the math.

Although it's not going to be easy that she finds a job again.

I remind you that she didn't pass the exam.

MANIPURA

How different they are...

Well...

I’m going to study, I really need it.

What a nerd...

Be careful, don't burn yourself.

You have a high fever.

What are you doing so covered?

She just told me that sweating is good for viruses.

What a nonsense!

When you have a high fever the thing to do is refresh the body.

Okay?

Really?

Come on, take that off.

Wow! Socks!

Obviously, I am cold!

Come on...

But Lucio...

Come on...

Your top too. Take it off.

What?

Don't you see that gives much warmth.

Come on.

Come on, off, off.

No, Lucio. I don't want to strip in front of...

Aren't you wearing a bra?

Of course not.

You can get it off... like this... and cover you up.

It's for your own good.

But have you seen you?

You're not precisely ready for a photo shoot now.

It's for your own good.

Come on.

Hold on, hold on.

We're going to do something better.

In the darkness lurk your fears.

The panic felt for years.

Then another monster comes.

But... what did I tell you?

The blanket out.

Lucio, I'm cold.

This way.

Roll up your sleeves.

Come on.

Let's see.

May I?

This area generates a lot of heat.

Really?

Hey, don't joke about that. A high fever can make you barren.

Some women may say they don't care but...

... it's a lie.

Hey, look.

Do you know what they call this in some villages in Italy?

No, I don't know.

Little sins.

How come?

Well, you see... The kids over there are told that...

... this lint contains the wrong actions we commit in the daytime.

Before night comes you have to take it out...

... blow and ask forgiveness for them.

Because if you don't do it... do you know what happens?

No, what happens?

What happens is that your bad shadow...

... a shadow that grows and grows feeding on your sins...

... will eat them and become stronger and bigger behind your back...

... while you're sleeping.

Have you never heard this?

No.

And now what?

Are you going to blow?

Now you can sleep peacefully.

Now let's get back onto your fever.

Hauter of the dark

THE PEACOCK DROOL

You know...

... actually Aitor took too much study time from me.

Well, from now on you're not going to can blame him anymore.

Damn, your story should be on the news.

The news? All they care about is what's hot.

I'm afraid evictions went out of fashion.

I really don't want to bother you. Thanks for listening.

Don't bother. I know where the door is.

Wait!

What are you doing?

Come on.

No.

Lucio, don't be a stubborn and put it on.

I bet she hasn't found a job yet...

No, she hasn’t.

Yes, I know you told me.

You can take it out now.

No, you don't have a fever.

What did I tell you?

PHALANX

THE VENTRILOQUIST KING

I'm so sorry, really.

I's very hard for me to tell you this but... I can't go on this way.

Say something.

What's going on? Ain't you got no pride?

How can you look yourself in the face? I'm paying your share of the rent.

I have been paying Lucio's share for months too.

Why are you bringing Lucio into this? His case is different.

Why?

Because he has nowhere else to go.

If he doesn't stay here he'll sleep in the street.

I don't have any place to go either.

You do have a place to go. There's your parents' house.

I can't go back with them.

Why can't you? You get along with them.

I can’t get along with my father. What's your deal with yours?

You always said so.

Yes...

But...

But what?

You don't want to go back with them just for pride.

That same pride you're not using to leave here.

But instead you use it not to ask them for help.

No, it's not that!

Yes, it is!

You don't want to ruin that perfect image they have of you.

That image of little perfect girl, good student...

... working woman, who always gets ahead on her own and that bullshit...

Enough!

I don’t know who she thinks she is.

What’s the matter?

She is a selfish.

She's been taking advantage of our friendship for months.

She knew that I'd pay her share and I wouldn’t press her.

I think you are exaggerating.

I doubt she hasn’t done everything possible to look for a job.

In fact, I’m sure that she hasn’t even tried.

And why do you think that?

I don’t know, but she is no fool.

What she wants is fucking pass the exam once and for all.

And, of course, if she can save time, she gains hours of study instead.

Certainly, she’s not in a hurry as long as I keep paying her share.

She thinks: “I stand some few months more, until the date of the new call...

... and if I pass the exam this time, perfect move”.

It's a way of looking at it...

I’ve lost my patience.

Because I can’t keep paying everything.

I think the situation is not that critical.

Lucio, seriously, I can’t pay everything myself.

You can tell your father what’s happening...

... and he'll borrow you what is necessary to live on for a while.

It won’t mean a problem for him.

He’ll be happy to help you, as always, right?

That way you will compensate what she cannot pay.

He has money to throw around.

If you ask him, he’ll be delighted of giving it to you.

And how do you know that my father...?

What’s up with your father?

Oh, I see... she don't know that.

What's it I don't know?

Her last name.

Her last name is Ramos.

No.

That's her mother's name. The one she uses in her acting career.

What's your original last name?

Iturralde.

The landlord... is your father?

Not really. In fact, the landlord doesn't exist.

Well, to be more exact...

... it's a... landlady.

You don't work as a barmaid.

It's all a lie.

You don't work as a barmaid. And you do get along with your father.

He gave you this place, right?

You live with what you earn renting these rooms, don't you?

You don't need to work.

And you would have been able to kick me out...

Why are you so stunned?

Weren't you involved in that Anabel thing, too?

How do you know that?

Are you stupid? No one might have told her.

You didn't have much sympathy for her either...

But I did have for you, didn't I?

I'm not as sure of that.

I don't know if you really did it for me or perhaps...

For us.

Who are you?

Don't you really know that?

Your tenant, right?

So what? Are you going back to your folks?

Weren't you going to say goodbye?

Why have you always preferred her to me?

From the very beginning.

There's something you should know.

The best thing that happened to Anabel was...

... you kicking her out.

She's in a better place now..

How do you know that?
