Original subtitles

What am I doing in this gloomy and haunted mansion?

This sinister furniture...

...this sordid furniture in the comers...

...are silent witnesses of many nights of horror.

Nights of screams and voices from beyond the grave...

...that belong to creatures...

...whose steps shake these dusty spider webs...

...which imitate diabolical tentacles...

...ready to trap in their web...

...whatever exudes life.

Even the black façade that hides this mansion...

...Satan's lair...

stands like a threat...

...to whoever dares to cross it.

Tormented souls wander everywhere.

Monstrous beings watch me from every comer...

...ready to destroy me with their teeth.

These giants bats are the incarnation of evil.

They are ready to drink my blood and transform me...

...in a creature of the darkness.

I am a prisoner. I am alone.

I've been abandoned.

The only being that encourages me and consoles me...

...is my fiancée, Arturo.

He will also fall prey to the dark powers that haunt me.

Who will save us?

Who will rescue us?

A silver face.

A man in a mask.

A creature of extraordinary strength and kindness...

...dedicated to fight for good and willing to face...

...the forces of evil that have captured me.

But everything seems futile.

The creatures that want to destroy me...

...these Lords of the Shadows, are invincible.

They will catch him.

I feel it.

He will die, like us, under the hands of...

...the Satanic powers that chase us.

I've known it for many lives.

I can see him approaching.

Beware, Man in the Mask!

Help us, Lord. Help us!

THIS PRODUCTION IS BASED ON A FANTASTIC TALE...

...AND DOESN'T TAKE PLACE ON ANY SPECIFIC LOCATION...

...THEREFORE ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE IMAGINARY AND FICTITIOUS

Mayra, Queen and Lady of the Witches...

...l kneel before you, Priestess.

I request you to rise from the ashes...

...and lead our ritual.

Queen and Lady of the Darkness, listen and attend to...

...the plea of our priestess, Medusa.

I beg you to listen to her, who humbly and submissively...

...requests that you allow the return of Mayra, our goddess.

Listen to your servants, the worshippers of the god...

...of the shadow and the silence.

Give us our Goddess Mayra back.

Come, Mayra.

Lord of the Shadows and the Abysses...

...l, Mayra, goddess of the witchcraft...

...sacrificed more than 300 years ago...

...am born again in the Earth to request your protection.

Reveal yourself before your adepts.

Be favourable to us...

...because the time has come to reign with you in this world.

Your presence grants us the powers of the eternal shadows.

The world will be ours.

The mortals will never defeat us.

Every night, our Goddess Mayra, will lead us through...

...the dark paths that will take us to you.

That will be our happiness.

Powerful Lord of the Shadows.

With the powers that you are giving us...

...we can subdue the mortals, and turn them into your slaves.

With the blood of their hearts, we will feed your greatness.

Look.

We'll sacrifice in this ritual...

...this man who is dedicated to fight against evil.

And this maiden...

Once they die in this ritual offered to you...

...both of them will be born again as your new adepts.

And we'll continue to do so until everybody obeys your will.

What's wrong, Ofelia?

Why did you shout?

I had that horrible nightmare again.

In which I'm Mayra, the goddess of witchcraft...

...who's about to sacrifice you to the Lord of the Shadows...

...when suddenly a man in a silver mask arrives...

...and saves you?

It's your imagination.

Witches are out of fashion. They don't frighten anyone.

In regards to that mysterious masked man...

...I'm sure he doesn't exist.

You've been nervous since you came to live in this house.

It could be because you find it too gloomy and old.

- But you'll get used to it. - Never, Elisa.

Especially when you insist that we live like...

...in the Middle Ages.

We don't even have electricity.

What do you plan to do, then?

I'll return to the city tomorrow.

I'll rent an apartment and work...

...like before you told me about the will.

If you let your fears overpower you, you'll lose the fortune...

...that your parents left you.

I prefer that over living in this house of--

Of witches.

Before making a final decision, ask Arturo.

He's your fiancée.

You'll see he'll give you the same advice.

To be courageous and to wait.

Everything will be for your happiness.

Don't take it.

I'm scared.

Everything you've told me sounds fantastic and absurd.

I acknowledge it.

Nonetheless...

...l don't know, Elisa makes me weary.

I can't explain it.

You said that shortly after your parents died...

...Elisa disappeared for a few years.

What happened to her during that time?

I don't know. I was a little girl.

The only thing I know is that two months ago...

...l was sleeping restlessly in my apartment in the city...

...full of terrifying dreams and ready to scream.

Then...

...somebody knocked on my door.

It was a stormy night and the lights were off.

After so many years, I didn't think you would recognise me.

I was petrified, looking at her.

Suddenly the storm ended and the lights came up.

Everything went hack to normal and my fears disappeared.

How strange.

Then, she told me about the will my parents had left me.

She convinced me to come live here.

Does that will really exist?

Elisa took me to a lawyer who showed me the will.

I recognised my parents' signatures in it.

As you can see, miss...

...in order for you to receive your fortune...

...you need to live, at least for one year...

...in your parents' old mansion.

Miss Elisa Cardenas...

...who functioned as their secretary...

...while your parents were alive...

...was named executor of all your fortune.

Her duty is to make sure that you fulfil...

...what is established in this will.

Arturo, that lawyer is one of the warlocks in my nightmare.

As you can tell, Elisa is right after all.

It's all my imagination.

That man in a mask that saves you in your nightmare...

...is not a fantasy.

That man exists.

I know him.

They call him Santo, the Man in the Silver Mask.

He dedicates his time to defend the weak and helpless.

It can't be.

I didn't know that man existed.

How could I have dream it?

That's precisely what intrigues me.

It doesn't make sense.

I'll try to find him and talk to him.

Trust me.

Your story, Arturo, is extremely fantastic.

Before coming to talk to you, I found out a few things...

...that left me astonished.

The fables and theories about witchcraft state...

...the opposite to what most people think.

That witches are very ugly old women...

...who fly on their brooms.

To the contrary, they are beautiful women...

...who use their charm to seduce the mortals.

According to Ofelia's accounts, Elisa should be...

...about fifty years old.

Nonetheless, she keeps being as young and beautiful as Ofelia.

The strange thing is that Ofelia hasn't noticed it.

I didn't want to tell her anything to avoid alarming her.

There are women who keep their youth and beauty.

Definitely.

But it just so happens that Elisa, the real secretary...

...died fifteen years ago.

I found out at the registry.

She died of a common pneumonia.

Nothing strange or spectacular.

Then, there's another woman with evil plans...

...who's pretending to be Elisa. Is that right?

How is it possible that Ofelia thinks she's the real Elisa?

Because according to the legend, witches take the appearance...

...that suits them better to achieve their goals.

If we take this case, the witch or whatever she is...

...took the appearance of the real Elisa when she was young.

Just like Ofelia remembers her.

Brothers of the Shadows.

The Spring Adoration is getting close.

It's a date in which we have to offer a sacrifice...

...to the Lord of the Shadows.

Otherwise, the rage of the Lord, to whom we owe our existence...

...will destroy us.

I have put nightmares in the sleep of the maiden Ofelia.

Nightmares that torture her.

They will make the Man in the Silver Mask come to rescue her.

The Man in the Silver Mask and Ofelia will be sacrificed...

...to keep our Lord pleased.

Let's be alert to defeat and capture Santo, the Invincible.

The Defender of Good and Justice.

The Man in the Silver Mask.

And you, Medusa, be prepared to seduce him if necessary.

THE DAMNED WITCH SECOND EPISODE

How can I help you?

Could you take me to my house? I live nearby.

My pleasure. Get in.

I have to be alert and get out of here.

I'm being subjected to an infernal seduction.

Come closer.

Don't you want to toast with me?

I don't know who you are or what do you want...

...but I'm sure this is a trap.

All of this is absurd. And you, too.

Go back to the shadows where you came from. You won't defeat me.

Lord of the Shadows, help me!

Now it's me who is astonished, Santo.

According to your description, that woman took you...

...to the sealed area of the mansion where I live.

I can't explain so much mystery.

Based on the night in the cellar and the hits I received...

...I'm sure that we're being attacked by supernatural beings.

How can we get rid of them?

According to the legend there are only two ways...

...of containing or destroying these supernatural beings.

Showing them a cross, the symbol of our Lord.

Or letting the daylight surprise them.

Do you remember if you had any visible cross?

Your fight in the cellar, do you remember if it was dawn?

It was midnight.

I'm scared, Arturo.

I sense we are in grave danger.

Based on what's been happening, I'm sure that sooner or later...

...my nightmare will come true.

That's why I'll go right now to investigate that mansion.

- I'll go with you. - Me too.

You'll go to my parents' house.

You won't go back there.

From now on, you'll always wear a small cross around your neck.

This is the place.

I'm sure.

This is the door I broke.

But you couldn't have been here, Santo.

I'm telling you, I had to break this one to get out.

They must have killed him.

I'm sure that Arturo lives.

You have to find him. You're the only one who can do it.

I'll do it, Ofelia. I'll find him.

I'll take you to Arturo's parents' house.

Promise me you won't leave it without my permission.

You have to find him, Santo. Please, I beg you.

- Only you can do it. - Calm down, Ofelia.

Go to sleep.

Obey my order.

Obey and take off the cross.

That's it.

Hide it forever.

Obey.

Don't resist it, if you don't want Arturo to die.

You are under our power, and you'll be until the end of time.

What have you done to him?

Let me go.

Arturo, save me.

What will you do?

Sacrifice her to the Lord of the Shadows.

It's too soon for the Spring Adoration.

- We should wait. - What for?

Mayra leads us, and the Lord of the Abysses...

...expects us to be submissive.

Have you forgotten that he could take away his protection?

You are right, sisters.

We have to sacrifice the maiden to placate the rage...

...of our master.

Thus, we'll be able to turn the mortals into slaves.

Let us go.

Let me go.

Now it's your turn.

Obey.

Queen and Lady, have patience.

You have them all chained under your power.

Let's wait until the Spring Adoration.

Otherwise, it will not please the Lord of the Shadows.

This man is very dangerous as long as he is alive.

Remember we are still vulnerable to the sign of the cross...

...to fire and daylight.

Catch him.

I've lost him forever, Santo.

No, Ofelia. We are not defeated yet.

Besides, I'm sure they will keep Arturo alive to lure us...

...and then sacrifice the three of us in a macabre ceremony.

I'll take you to Arturo's parents.

No, Santo. They'll kidnap me again if I'm not with you.

You can stay here today.

I'll call Arturo's parents and inform them.

Go inside.

I'll give you your previous appearance back...

...so that you can hear my orders and follow them.

I'm giving you your last chance.

That Man in the Silver Mask and the maiden...

...should be sacrificed...

...during the Spring Adoration.

Otherwise, my rage and power will fall over those...

...who have disobeyed me.

Yes, you know it.

We have failed once again...

...thanks to Santo, the Man in the Silver Mask.

Nobody has more power than me.

He and everyone else should be destroyed.

Those are my orders.

We'll have to use all of our powers to get Ofelia...

...without Santa's intervention.

That's impossible, Mayra.

Ofelia has taken refuge at Santa's house. You know that.

At any rate, why don't we capture both tonight.

Have you forgotten that Santa has the strength and power...

...of a superman?

But you heard the orders of the Lord of the Abysses.

We don't have much time.

Dawn is near.

How will you prevent Santo from intervening in Ofelia's capture?

My hypnotic powers are stronger than yours.

Follow me.

Let us go.

My will is in command.

Sleep.

Sleep, Ofelia.

I command you.

Me, Medusa. In the name of the Lord of the Shadows.

Sleep.

Hurry.

To the secret chamber. Dawn is near.

The Man in the Mask will never find us there.

You, loyal servant of death...

attack him.

Kill him.

Now.

I can't explain it now, Santo.

We have to hurry if we want to save Arturo.

Suddenly, I woke up in a coffin in a secret chamber.

A light lit my way and I found a hidden door on a wall.

- Stay here, and lock the door. - You won't find it alone.

We have arrived.

What?

You see that my powers are stronger than yours.

I made you believe I was Ofelia.

I've brought you to my domain, from which you'll never escape.

Aim to his heart.

Follow him.

I don't understand, Santo.

When a cross destroys a witch...

...her evildoing disappears with her.
