First of all, I want to welcome you to my class.

If Federico García Lorca would not have been born

and would not have written a line

two plus two would remain four.

If Napoleon had invaded Spain

two hundred years ago

and I would be giving this class in French

two plus two, of course, would remain four.

I want you to understand this.

I want you to understand that the only absolute truth,

the only thing that will always remain the same

is that two plus two is four.

Barbara, can you come here please?

What do you have there?

Nothing.

Come on Barbara, don't be afraid. What do you have there?

It's just a note.

What did you say Marcos?

Eh... It's just a note.

So, you do have a note.

Marcos, go to the principal's office,

and explain why you have interrupted me

when I'm talking to another student.

Come on Barbara,

it's better you show me the note and finish with all this nonsense.

Read it aloud, for everyone to know

what is so important that cannot wait until the end of class.

- Do you want me to read it? - Yes. I want you to read it.

- Are you sure? - I'm sure. Read it, please.

The "lettuce face" is so pitiful.

Silence! Silence!

Is that what you think of me?

I've made you a question Barbara.

Is that what you think of me?

Yes.

Give me that note.

Give me that note, Barbara.

Give me that note!

I can't.

Why can't you?

Because I don't have it.

the WORLD

Well... About two kilos, they're not bad,

I can give you five Euros.

But there goes "La colmena"

you can't pay me the same for the manual

as for "La Colmena", even if the manual weighs one kilo.

But that's the meaning of selling books by weight, Luis.

Ok but it's "La Colmena" right?

"Cela" it's a Nobel prize.

It's the dynamics of the store.

Books by weight, doesn't matter what they are.

I can't do criticism with every book I receive.

If you agree, I give you five Euros.

Well... I'll keep "La Colmena" then.

Hello!

Alicia?

Alicia?

Alicia, my love...

How are you sweetheart?

My arm hurts. I've been bitten, right?

No, you haven't. They've put you on a drip.

We are in the hospital.

Has the bull gone already?

Which bull, Darling?

There was a black bull, very large.

There is no bull, sweetie, you may have dreamed it.

Hello Luis. Hello Alicia.

Thank you!

- You're welcome. How are you? - A bit dizzy.

This is normal.

Rest a little bit.

- Luis, could you please come with me? - Sure.

Hello.

Luis.

Daddy...

Tell me, sweetheart.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Are you Ok? - Of course. How about you?

Great.

Daddy,

Daddy.

Yes, darling.

Can I sleep on Saturday night at Makoto's house?

Makoto?

Do you have a Japanese friend?

No. It's Vanessa's nickname.

Why do you call her Makoto?

Because it's her nickname.

So Vanessa is called Makoto.

You must finish your homework on the therapsids.

- I only have to write it up. - I know but you must do it Alicia.

Can you do it for me?

It's part of the work to write it up.

If I do it, it will not be the same. Don't be lazy.

Can I go if I finish it before Saturday?

I don't want you to rush it just to go to Vanessa's house.

And If I finish it correctly before Saturday...

would I be able to go?

Everyone will be going.

Who is everyone?

Makoto, Sakura and me.

- Sakura? - Paloma.

Then you will be just with Paloma.

And Makoto.

Vanessa doesn't count, it's her house.

What are you going to do?

Watch anime and eat ramen.

Will her parents be there?

I would need to talk to them.

- Ok. - Ok.

Can I ask you something?

Of course, sweetie.

Can I smoke a cigarette?

But...

It's just to know what it's like. I've never smoked one before.

You have to put it in your lips.

You have to swallow the smoke with confidence.

If you doubt, you cough.

If you could choose a magical power which one would you choose?

I don't know.

Come on. Which one would you choose?

Well... Being invisible.

And if you could choose two?

Being intangible. That no one could touch me.

But that would be like not existing.

A little, yes.

- Do you know which one I would choose? - Which one?

To be able to transform into whoever I wanted to be.

I had thought about becoming the King and giving a speech like...

"Dear Spaniards. I'm very proud that you kill one another".

Alicia, don't say bad words.

But I didn't say any.

I don't like you to talk in that way.

Can I ask you something else?

Of course.

I would like to drink a Gin and Tonic.

I think we have some Gin.

I'm not sure if we have Tonic.

What's your nickname?

Yukiko.

Yukiko, It's very cute.

The book of wishes

Wish 1: Transform me in whoever I want.

Wish 2: Yukiko's Magical Girl dress

designed by Meiko Saori for the singer Megume.

Wish 3: Turning 13 years old.

Wish 2: Yukiko's Magical Girl dress designed by Meiko Saori for the singer Megume.

I'm leaving sweetheart. See you this afternoon.

- Hold on! - What's going on?

Just wait.

What's happened?

Well, I'll wait for the lady to tell me.

- See you son, honey. - Daddy!

Tell me.

You forgot your mobile.

One day I'll lose my head. See you soon, darling.

Today in our letter's section, there's a special one.

I say that it is a very special because it's written by a twelve-years-old girl,

who has dedicated it to her father because she's very sick with leukemia.

She is called Alicia and her letter reads as follows:

Good morning.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hey, Luis! Great to see you!

What's up darling?

Ramon was here this morning and we were speaking about you.

It's been a long time since I've seen him.

Well... They shut his bar down. Did you know that?

Honestly, I don't know where we are going to end up.

I didn't know that. What a mess.

I wouldn't have believed if someone had said this to me three years ago.

Not even three but one!.

But this is how it goes. Going slowly. Little by little. Until we get used to!

And how are you doing?

Bah, not good. But moving forward, which is enough.

And what's about you?

What do you want to drink?

A beer please.

What can we do about it?

Even if you get rid of all the politicians, things will remain the same.

- Olives or chips? - Olives.

You know, the problem is in this country

bankers are as corrupt as the workers.

That's the problem.

I suppose so.

What about your daughter?

Not so good, to be honest.

But will they have to operate again?

Or will she have to have more Chemotherapy?

Yes, they will give her more. But...

I'm very sorry Luis.

I don't know if there is anything I can do to help.

I know it, Marisol. Thank you.

Actually... I would like to talk to you alone.

Yes, for sure.

I would like to buy something for Alicia. It's something she desires but...

You already know my situation.

How much money would it be?

Seven thousand.

Maybe I can work here for free to repay you.

Shit Luis, this is a lot of money. and the business is drowning.

Of course.

I can't give you such amount of money, because I don't even have it.

It's Ok. Actually, I shouldn't have asked you.

It's just... I don't know what to do.

If you want I can try to find some work for you,

somewhere they pay you in advance but nowadays that's tricky.

Thank you.

What do you want to buy Alicia that costs so much money?

It's a dress from some kind of cartoon.

Like a fancy dress?

No, no. It's a dress from a famous designer.

That's why it's so expensive, because it's a one of.

Luis, the only thing she wants is you to be by her side.

That's the important thing, that you both stay together.

The money or the dress... Doesn't matter at all.

I know...

I don't have a job, but I'm waiting for replies from several interviews.

The advert says that no guarantee is required;

I know... But I just wanted to know if it's possible or not.

I don't have any guarantee but I can pay the interest.

I know that it isn't a good moment but I really need the money.

It's extremely important to me.

Sorry doesn't help me.

"Today in our letter's section, there's a special one.

I say that it is a very special because it's written by a twelve-years-old girl,

who has dedicated it to her father because she's very sick with leukemia.

She is called Alice and her letter reads as follows:

I'm writing you this letter from my hospital bed.

I like a lot being in the hospital.

In the beginning I was afraid and I hated, but now I love it.

I know it's a bit weird because nobody likes hospitals.

I like the doctor's robes; I like the food, the needles,

the bandages, the beds and even the smell of the corridors.

Do you know why?

Because I know that whenever I wake up here

you'll be by my side.

Barbara...

Barbara.

Close your eyes.

Don't open them until I tell you.

Now.

- What... Why? - I wanted to.

You wanted to?

Thanks.

- Can you put it on me? - Sure

Thanks.

I want to stay alone with you today.

I know but we have to meet with Javier and Laura.

Well, we can say that we are ill.

They are about to arrive, Bar.

So we don't open the door then.

We can invent ourselves an excuse.

So you really don't care if they have a bad impression about us?

You are flighty and a silly girl.

- Are you? Are you flighty and silly? - Yes.

And what else are you?

Pretty.

What time is it?

I don't know.

It's quarter past twelve.

It can't be like this. I can't worry for you as if you were a seven-years-old girl.

Barbara, look at me when I'm talking to you.

Thanks.

Do I have to worry for you as if you were a seven-years-old girl?

- No. - No? I think I should.

- No. - Yes.

If I find out that you are lying to me, I swear I'll never come back.

- Do you take the pill every day? - Yes.

Take it.

Open your mouth.

- Barbara, this is all for your sake. - I know.

Sorry.

I'm really sorry, I'm stupid. I don't want you to worry about me.

I want you to be more responsible with your medicines. Just that.

Forgive me for being angry about this.

No worries.

You get upset because you love me.

"Five little wolves has the mother wolf,

black and white behind a broom.

She had five; she raised five and all five were given the tits."

I think I've never heard this before.

That's the way my mother used to sing it.

Black and White?

Actually was: "Five little wolves has the mother wolf, five little wolves behind a broom."

I have no idea, Javi, it's just a lullaby.

I also knew the "Black and White" version.

You too? I must be the only one that doesn't know it.

Come on...

Barbara, are you ok?

Yes, yes,...

my head is aching a little, but I'm fine.

- Would you like an aspirin? - No, I'm fine.

Would you like to hold her?

I'm not sure... It frightens me.

She's not going to bite you.

I don't know how.

Look. Come on.

Like this.

Be careful... like this.

What's going on?

No, nothing really. I just thought about something.

What's happening?

Nothing... it's Ok.

Then tell us about it so we can all laugh.

I can't stop thinking about the look of your face

if I threw the baby out of the window.

the DEVIL

It was a joke.

Take it.

This is not my pill.

You are right. It is not the same pill.

- What is it? - A sleeping pill.

- A sleeping pill? - Yes.

Why?

I want you to sleep.

I was going to sleep a siesta anyway.

I want you to sleep deeply.

Wash it down with more water.

- Sorry? - Wash it down with more water. Please.

Open your mouth.

Thanks.

- But what's going on? - It's nothing my love.

Trust me.

The moon kisses your pure tears

promising good luck.

The "burning girl", as people call you

and they are letting you, die of thirst.

Oh, my "burning girl", oh my "burning girl"

Inside my soul, I do have a source

so your guilt could lean to drink.

With blind affection, I'm a good man

that sympathizes you.

Come on, come with me

"Burning girl"

Hello?

Hello?

If you don't speak I'll hang up.

- Bye. - This is Barbara.

Hey! Wait!

Please! Please wait!

I'm sorry.

There is a bathroom in the hallway, you can take a shower if you want to.

Leave the clothes at the door and I'll wash them.

It's ok, I can do it with a damp cloth.

Don't worry. I have a tumble dryer.

The clean towels are the blue ones.

I've put this on.

It's ok.

Do you want a beer, water or something?

No, thank you.

Are you ok?

Yes, I'm a little clumsy. I'm used to it.

You have an impressive house. It's very nice.

Thank you.

What do you do for a living?

Nothing. I watch TV.

My husband keeps me.

What you have seen lately?

I saw a report

of two neighbors who were angry with one another

because one of them was throwing pee on the other one,

whenever she entered and left the house.

So the lady wore a raincoat, and a bin bag on her head

to pass through the landing. They were very funny.

Why is that so funny?

Why not?

Well...

I don't like this type of TV shows

that go around with a camera recording people misery.

It seems they are saying:

"Don't complain because at the end of the day, your life is not so bad"

We are not so bad.

We are not so bad?

I suppose that living here makes it easier to say that.

What do you do for living?

I was a teacher. I'm currently unemployed.

What did you teach?

Literature.

Literature?

I've never been good at literature.

You didn't like to read?

I preferred better doing other things.

And your husband, what does he do for living?

He is a psychiatrist.

He must be good.

- Can I ask you where he is? - No.

Hey...

Can you give me a hug?

- What? - Sorry. Forget it.

No, no... Of course yes.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Nothing? What are you doing?

I'm married. I've just said that.

You are in my husband's house. I told you this.

- I'm sorry. - This is too much.

- Yes. For me too. - Yes? What is too much for you?

How long will it take the washing machine?

Not long. It's on a quick wash. What is too much for you?

I can wait in the living room.

Sorry...

I'm a little tense. Sorry.

Why did you chase me?

Do I repulse you?

Do you want to know why I watch those TV programs?

Because I like to see people more miserable than I am.

Do I repulse you now?

No.

My name is Barbara.

I am Pedro.

Hello.

Hello.

What's happened to you?

I've started to do things in the house to distract me and the mirror fell on me.

Are you ok?

Look Bar,

I was thinking and I've made a decision.

I'll trust you.

This is what I can give you.

My full trust.

But if you lied to me again it's over.

I need you,

but you need me more.

You didn't take your pill yesterday?

- Yes. - Why?

Hello?

Ok, but she's not available.

Really.

Ok, hold on.

It's for you.

Hello?

Hello Barbara.

This is Pedro.

I guess the man who answered the phone is your husband.

I told him that I am from your phone company, so please try to act normal.

I couldn't find your mobile number,

you'll give to me soon so it will be easier to communicate.

I've tried searching for your credit cards butl couldn't find them.

This would make everything easier.

Look, I'm sorry about all this.

I need seven thousand Euros within one week

otherwise your husband will know everything that happened last night.

I recorded it with the mobile phone.

Everything is recorded.

Tell me you understand it.

Yes.

Now give me your mobile number.

six zero nine

three six eight

nine zero one

I will call you back on mine so that you have my number.

Now I'm talking from a phone box.

Once you have the money ready,

call me and I'll tell you how to give it to me.

Ok.

Once you give me the money I will not cause you any more problems.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Really, that does not interest me.

I do not use the mobile that much. Thanks.

Hi.

Hello.

You look familiar to me. Are you an actress?

No.

I am.

Ok.

Is Ada at home?

Do you know my name?

No.

Sonika.

Awesome. I'm Barbara Asunción.

Is Ada at home?

- Is Ada at home? - Yes, yes...

Thanks.

Hi Barbara.

Cheers, good to see you again.

Good to see you.

How are you?

Fine.

Glad to hear it.

Sorry about the way I left.

I didn't know how to do it.

You only had to say goodbye.

It's not so easy.

Yes it is.

Do you know what offended me most?

It wasn't that you disappeared without saying anything;

What really offended me was feeling that you were afraid of me.

I've never given you any reason for that.

I'm not that way and you know it.

I didn't want to offend you.

It has happened to me enough times. I'm used to it.

Whatever it is I'm glad to see that you are well.

- And how are you doing? - I'm better than ever.

The business has dropped a bit

but I got married four months ago and I am very happy.

Congratulations.

Who is the lucky girl?

Juana.

Juana?

I really like that girl.

Well...

What can I do for you?

I don't want to hassle you.

I'm very understanding. You've already seen this.

I need money.

You don't need money.

Sorry?

You don't need any money.

Your husband has plenty.

I needed to know you were alright.

It's a personal issue. I have to solve it by myself.

Good girl.

How much money are we talking about?

Seven thousand.

If you give me the money straight away I could pay you back with some interest,

in five or six months maybe.

You know what we do and you have come to see me.

If you want seven thousand you know exactly what you have to do.

If you are not willing to do it,

we finish our drinks, and we say goodbye as civilized people.

There would be conditions.

What kind of conditions?

No penetration.

Of any kind.

That complicates things.

Besides, I need the money this week.

It's a very short time.

You will have to work hard.

No.

That is the third condition...

It must be in one day,

one job, during the morning.

It's the only moment that my husband isn't at home.

He could become suspicious.

It's difficult.

Very, very difficult.

Seven thousand without penetration, just one job, one morning...

It can only be like this.

How long do you have?

From 8 till 3.

Do you know who is Oliver Zoco?

- What do you think about him? - I've never met him personally.

But you know what he does, right?

- What do you think? - I don't have an opinion.

I can convince him to set up something this week,

in the morning,

- But you have to go. - I will.

If all goes ahead, I will send a text the night before,

with the time and place where you'll be picked up.

I give you my number.

Not necessary, I have it already.

I love your new scar.

I'm going to the bathroom.

"Humilladero Square, 11 a.m." (hidden number)

Excuse me.

Yes.

If you ever need me to take you somewhere, this is my card.

It'll be my pleasure.

Welcome, Barbara.

Thank you.

I'm Adela, Oliver's assistant. Thank you for coming.

- Thank you - Follow me, please.

You can wait in this room.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Thank you, Adela. - You're welcome.

First of all Barbara,

I would like to thank you for coming to our house.

Thank you.

Ada has told me wonderful things about you

but I have to confess that although I didn't know you personally,

I've heard about you before.

I'm glad to have you with us today.

Thank you.

Do you like bullfighting?

Not much, to be honest.

I don't like it either.

But it is curious that Spain is the country where bullfighting is most popular.

Do you know why Spain is a country in eternal conflict?

Because we are not sure if we are a rational or an emotional country.

Nordic people, for example,

act in accordance with their brains.

However, the Arabs or Latinos

have accepted their passionate side without blame.

Both, they know which are their strong points.

Spaniards are balanced right in the middle.

That's the way we are,

as bullfighting.

And what is bullfighting?

The representation of the struggle between instinct and technique.

Between emotion and reason.

We have to accept our instincts

and learn to deal with them as if they were a bull,

trying not to be destroyed by them.

That's exactly what we offer to our customers.

Could you please take off your clothes?

You are very pretty.

Thank you.

Adela.

Open it, please

Tin

I want you to remember this word

Ok.

Sorry for my insistence Barbara

from my experience with other women,

it could happen that once you enter the room you may forget it.

And it's very,

very important for you to remember that word.

Because once inside,

that word will stop everything whenever you want.

Remember,

everything will stop when you say that word.

There is no other way.

I want you to understand this.

I understand.

The longer you stay without pronouncing it,

the more you can earn.

Do you understand it?

Perfectly.

Return the card to Adela.

Are you ready?

Then please, move on to the next room.

It's Barbara.

I've got money.

Are they all five hundred euro notes?

- Yes. - Ok.

I want you to go to "Pedro Salinas"library,

which is in Puerta de Toledo,

and leave the money inside the book of the Spanish Constitution.

You want me to leave seven thousand Euros in a public library?

Nobody will take that book.

As you want.

Put the money in an envelope

and leave it in the spine of the book,

not between the pages.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I have the phone number of your husband.

If I notice something strange, I will call him.

Ok.

Thanks.

Alicia, dinner is ready.

Vegetable soup?

- Don't you fancy it? - Well...

This is different, it has a special ingredient.

For me is the same as always.

You have to keep eating to appreciate the difference.

Not sure...

Have you had the test result from the Therapsids homework?

Not yet.

I think it will be next week.

If you don't feel well you don't have to go to school, you know?

It's Ok. I'm fine.

Daddy...

Yes?

I want to tell you something...

What is this?

The special ingredient.

"Look inside the microwave"

"look beneath the salad bowl"

"look behind the sofa"

Do you want to try it?

Later.

Is something wrong?

What?

Is there something missing?

No.

Is everything Ok dear?

Yes, sure.

I love the dress.

Are you sure?

I'm very happy.

Hello.

Hi. What would you like?

Well... a beer...

No, a coffee liquor instead.

Alright.

Excuse me, one more.

What do you want?

I need more money.

No.

Why not?

I can't.

I have no more money.

You can. Your husband has plenty of money.

I have no money.

Do you understand?

The money I gave you was not from my husband. I cannot ask him.

You said you wouldn't bother me anymore.

And I fulfilled my part of the deal.

It is not that easy.

You are a son of a bitch.

I am the son of a bitch?

You're the one who cheated on your husband

I told you, you don't repulse me,

and it is true, you don't, I feel sorry for you.

You will get your money.

How much?

Twenty thousand.

For the day after tomorrow.

I will then stop by the library

and I want the money in the same place as before.

Ok?

Ok.

Barbara...

Hello.

What time is it?

It's Twelve o'clock.

Oh, I had just fallen sleep.

I have to ask you something.

It is urgent.

How urgent?

Very urgent.

Ok, I will listen to you on one condition.

Which one?

Buy some churros.

- Do you want some? - No.

Did I ask you for porras or churros?

Did I say porras or churros?

- Churros. - Really?

Yes.

I think I told you porras.

You told me churros Ada.

I wasn't expecting to see you again.

Me neither.

And what are you doing here?

I need some more money.

Oh.

How much?

Twenty thousand.

Same conditions as the last job?

No.

Well then, maybe.

I need the money for the day after tomorrow.

I tell you now that it is absolutely impossible.

I'm so sorry.

I am ready to enter the black lizard

What are you talking about?

The door with a black lizard drawing at Oliver's house.

I don't know which door you mean.

You do Ada.

Are there any napkins?

What have you heard about that door?

Probably the same things as you.

Actually, I don't think so.

Go home Barbara.

No.

Go home.

Call me later and we can see how to manage three or four jobs for next week.

Please, do me this favor.

I'm also asking you a favor.

I don't want to get angry, Barbara.

I have decided. If you cannot help me, I'll go by myself.

The only difference is that in this case you wouldn't get your fee.

It doesn't matter. I don't want to be part of this.

This is your last word?

Yes.

Thank you.

Barbara...

Don't do it.

Please.

Yes?

Hello, how are you? It's Barbara,

the girl you took the other day to Oliver Zoco's house.

Hi Barbara, how are you?

Good, very good.

Do you want me to take you somewhere?

No, actually I would like to ask you something else?

Of course. Tell me.

Well, I would like to ask you about the black lizard door in Oliver's house.

What do you want to know?

I would like to know if...

I would like to go through that door tomorrow.

Hello?

Tomorrow, at eleven o'clock, you will be picked up at your home.

Thanks for organizing this.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- How are you? - Fine.

Well... this is our last session.

I would like to thank you for everything.

It was very easy to work with you,

and I really wish you the best from now on.

Thanks.

If you feel ok with this, I'd like you to begin doing

a summary about your progress inside the center

telling me which aspects do you think you have improved

and which ones you should keep working on.

If I'm honest,

I still have a lot to improve.

It takes time.

I have something for you.

Why?

It's a present.

You shouldn't have.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Damian...

You're a good person. Do not forget this.

Thanks.

I would like to ask you something,

Sure, tell me.

I don't know how easy it will be.

Let's see. What is it?

I don't want to leave tomorrow.

What do you mean?

I do not want to get out of jail. I want to stay here.

I don't know exactly for how long,

but I'm sure I'm not yet ready.

For what reason?

I thought of attacking a guard or a prisoner,

but I don't want to waste all this time we have worked together.

So I decided to ask you personally,

avoiding harming others.

I don't understand.

Why don't you want to leave?

Because I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Of seeing Barbara again.

the FLESH

It's six Euros twenty.

Thanks.

How do you say thanks in Chinese?

Xiè xiè.

- Sie sie. - Xiè xiè.

- Sie sie. - Xiè xiè.

Ah, and this.

Excuse me...

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

She was on the doorstep, on the steps outside my apartment.

And I took her home to try and help her,

I don't know if I've done the right thing.

She is alive, but she is really bad,

really bad.

Yes, send it as soon as possible, please.

Thank you.

The ambulance is coming.

Damian.

Thanks.

You are much older now.

Can I have my bag, please?

My bag.

I need you to do me a favor.

What do you want?

Can you return this book to the library of Puerta de Toledo?

The Spanish Constitution?

Could you?

You shouldn't be worrying about this,

right now.

Please.

The ambulance is coming, you will see.

It's very important Damian.

I will return it tomorrow.

Damian,

help me.

What else can I do?

Hold my hand.

If we need anything else we will get in contact with you, Ok?

Alright.

- Ok then. Thank you and good night. - Good night.

Hello?

Damian?

Yes. It's me. Who's calling?

Good morning... Sorry to bother you. It's Alfredo, Barbara's husband,

- the woman who you helped last night. - Yes... good morning

They gave me your phone number in the hospital.

Listen, I have already talked to the police.

Look, I found your wife at my doorstep.

No, no, sorry, it's Ok.

I'm calling just to thank you.

Thank you sincerely.

Well, I did what anyone would do.

- Thanks a lot. - You're welcome.

How is your wife?

She has just started talking.

Did she tell you what had happened?

No...

And what about doctors?

The doctors says...

They have no idea.

The first thing she said...

Look, I'm sorry to bother you but she wants to talk to you,

she would like to thank you.

Well...

She need to start talking. I really need you to talk to her.

Anything.

I would appreciate it a lot.

It will be just for a few minutes.

Sure. Don't worry.

Great.

We are in room 239 at the San Gabriel hospital.

I will be here.

Ok,

see you then.

See you.

- Damian, right? - Yes.

Alfredo. Thanks for coming.

You're welcome.

I'm going for a snack, can I get you something?

No, thanks.

Back soon my dear.

I've said it before but,

thanks for everything.

You're welcome.

Sit down please.

I'm Ok.

Take a sit please.

You have met my husband.

He doesn't know who I am.

I've never talked to him about you.

Better.

Did you return the book?

You are still very sweet.

You've always seen me that way.

Because it is true.

You are sweet and a very good person.

You are my guardian angel.

You were on my front door step.

I would have done the same for anyone.

It was the only place I could go.

How do you know where I live?

Barbara...

I have to go.

I really hope you recover soon.

Don't leave me.

What do you want?

I need something else.

What else do you want Barbara?

I want you to know what happened.

Tell your husband or the police, not me.

I only trust you.

Barbara, I'm sorry about what happened but

please

let me go.

Please.

Ok,

leave then.

I'm sorry.

It's Ok.

Thank you.

I want to tell it to you.

You should tell the police.

I can't.

Why can't you?

Because I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of Barbara?

Promise me you won't tell anyone.

What happened to you?

A man...

Has someone done this to you?

I said, has someone done this to you,

Barbara?

But why?

how?

Did he rape you?

Who?

I didn't know him. I have only seen him in the library.

He started harassing me...

I don't know... I think he followed me...

it's ok, please,

leave it...

How is he?

Shit!

Pitagoras!

What's up man? What are you doing here?

What's up Pepo. Here I am, looking for you.

...When did they set you free?

- It's going to be a year next month - A year...

My god! Sorry, come in...

Good to see you man, you know what?

last year I finished my bachelor's

and now I'm able to help my brother in law

with some stuff. I'm good at numbers.

That's true. You were good at numbers.

Do you mind?

No.

I'm having tons of memories from there.

I feel that it's been,

it's been ten years or more,

you know?

And since I left I'm clean, you know?

I don't take anything except joints and

and rarely some "MDMA",

clean, you know.

And what do you know from "rata" and "cagao"?

There they are, trying to finish their bachelor's as you did.

You've always been a very good teacher.

I've said this many times to, to my sister and her husband.

You helped me tons in there.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

At first we tried to give some to my father,

and there was no way.

And now the bastard smokes around fifteen a day,

as marijuana is good for pain, you know.

He has cancer.

Prostate, I think, or something.

- Sorry for that - Buah...

Pepo?

Do you remember what you told me

when you passed the first test in jail?

No.

You told me to look you up, when I got out,

if I needed something...

what you looked.

I need something now.

The moon kisses your pure tears

promising good luck.

The "burning girl", as people call you

and they are letting you, die of thirst.

Oh, my "burning girl", oh my "burning girl"

Inside my soul, I do have a source

so your guilt could lean to drink.

Oh, my "burning girl", oh my "burning girl"

Woman who cries and suffers

I offer you the salvation

I offer you the salvation

With blind affection, I'm a good man

that sympathizes you.

Come on, come with me

"Burning girl"

Hello.

Hi, what do you want?

Coffee liquor.

Coming.

Thanks.

It's nothing.

Good night.

Hi, can I help you?

A glass of Rioja, if it's possible.

- We have a house red? - That's perfect.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

I'm going to smoke outside.

- Excuse me, do you have a lighter? - Sure.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Do you know who's playing?

Sorry?

I was wondering who was playing.

No idea.

Not a football fan?

- Not so, actually. - That's a mortal sin in this country.

And you?

I like to watch it.

I usually watch international matches,

but I'm not really a fan. I don't have a team.

I like football, but not the business.

There are only a few things left that are not businesses.

I remember when I was teaching, years ago,

I was coaching the football team at the school.

It was silly, but we had a good time that was the main thing.

Now they just want to be famous and have a beautiful girlfriend.

Being a sportsman is the least important.

- So, you were a teacher? - Yes.

What did you teach?

Mathematics.

I taught Literature.

So you are a teacher as well.

I was, I'm currently unemployed.

Education is terrible right now,

terrible.

Well, I'm going back inside.

Do you mind?

Sure, no problem.

Thanks.

My name is Damian, it's a pleasure.

Luis.

Are you from the neighborhood?

No, I'm just visiting a friend.

Do you live around here?

Yes, all my life actually.

It seems to be a very nice place to live.

Yes it is.

Cheers.

For how long have you been unemployed?

About six months,

it was from one day to the next, the recession, you know.

I don't know when this will finish. My god,

Education, which is the basis of any society.

Of course, which politician is interested in having a progressive society?

... I tell you, none.

I think that a degree in Education should be

harder. It is a job with

a lot of responsibility. And very risky.

Very risky...

I have not had an easy life either,

I've been in jail.

I have lived for ten years with murderers, pedophiles, rapists...

but I can assure you

that the only time I've felt real panic

was in a classroom,

in front of a twelve year old girl,

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Because you also know that girl.

Her name is Barbara.

Don't move, don't be foolish. I have a gun in my pocket.

Barbara updated me about everything.

You will do whatever I say. It's that simple.

Son of a bitch.

Very polite.

As I've said, I've been in jail,

once.

Actually, it was precisely for helping Barbara,

Some time ago.

But that is another story. Kipling?

When Barbara told me what you had done to her,

I thought about many things I wanted to do to you.

In all of them you ended up dead and myself back in jail.

But being realistic, I am no longer prepared more dead man.

Then something came to my mind,

you will see...

I'm going to take out the gun from my pocket

and I'll place it on the table.

What I want you to do

is to grab the gun and

kill me.

Is that clear?

I want you to kill me in front of those two people.

If you warn the waiter,

the police come and I walk out that door,

I promise you and your family, if you have one,

will die sooner or later.

Ten years in prison is enough time to meet people

they would not charge me that much for doing me this personal favor.

Barbara doesn't want anyone to know that you have raped her.

But that doesn't save you from spending a few years in prison for murder, right?

Raped?

I never raped her.

How could you deny it?

Whats happening here? I don't understand it.

You've raped and destroyed her, and I will ruin your life for that.

That's the only thing that you have to understand.

No, no, no, no, no. That's not true.

That's not true.

She slept with me because she wanted to.

What?

I said she slept with me because she wanted to.

I blackmailed her,

but I've never hurt her.

You blackmailed her?

We had sex and I recorded it.

I threatened to show it to her husband to ask her for money.

But I didn't rape her.

You recorded it? How did you record it?

I recorded the sound with my mobile phone.

Everything is on the phone.

- Does her husband know this? - No, at least not because of me.

Barbara...

had sex with you?

Yes.

Barbara...

cheated on her husband

by having sex with you?

Yes.

Wait!

Do not move!

Turn around.

Turn around!

Hello.

Luis,

your father...

Your father asked me

to bring his mobile phone

to the bar.

Is this one?

Ok,

ready then.

Thank you.

Turn around.

Turn around. Do not look at me.

Do not look at me!.

Do not look at me!.

Hello,

Hello,

Where is your husband?

He has gone home.

Everything is solved.

You are my guardian angel.

That man will never bother you again.

Nor blackmail you.

You are not giving it to me?

I can't.

Why can't you?

Because I don't have it.
