Original subtitles

-All set? -Yes, professor.

Let's go.

Excuse me,

Impossible. We were given orders.

Easy, men. Don't get nervous.

I completely agree with the medical examiner,

This wasn't an accident, nor a regular murder.

The skull bones have been removed

by some tool that Is unknown to me,

And the way the veins and arteries

have been tied up..

Well, that's pretty astonishing.

-Bye, inspector. -Doctor, come along.

You deal with this. Keep it from the press

-Ck, boss. -Come this way.

Listen, doctor...

Is it true it was a murder?

Excuse me. Let me through,

You can't come in, miss. Please, you can't!

Who was looking for me, Lucha?

-Big head! �What's up, bow-legged?

What are you doing here?

It's a very long story.

-When did you arrive? -I'm after you since yesterday.

I thought you were still in sports

and I find out you're no less

than an attorney! Congratulations!

A lot happens in five years.

I want to talk with you. At what time can we meet?

I'll be back. Don't go, I won't be long.

Go on, then,

These are all, kind of,

the features Canada has regarding him.

He is a maniac,

an extremely dangerous criminal.

He was described to us

the way you see him.

That's how they described him in Cuba.

As you can see, there's no particular feature

we can use to guarantee

it's the same man,

However, we're sure of it

because the procedure is the same in all crimes,

He always attacks wrestlers.

His victims are always very strong men.

We've taken all possible precautions.

Our surveillance is heavy.

Captain Robles is in charge of the case.

Excuse me, gentlemen. I'll leave.

I must do the investigation.

Report it when it's done.

Toronto's case, huh?

-It was horrible. -This way.

I'll show you more details about the case.

OK, buddy. We can talk as we walk now.

Lucha, please, ask for my car.

That's not necessary. I'll take you in my car.

-Ck, let's go. -Wait, let me say goodbye.

Say goodbye?

You haven't changed a bit!

Goodbye, miss. Have a great day.

Can you tell me now what brings you to the city?

1 kept on training hard back home, you know?

That's the sole truth,

I've been loyal to fights and I want to go professional.

Come on!

I'm much better at it.

I'm certain that you can't beat me now, honestly.

You surely know someone

and can give me a hand.

Sure I do, man.

Actually, we're going to the gym now.

These guys show respect before beating each other up.

Let's see how we do in the show.

OK.

Today's lottery, gentlemen!

I brought you the one you like, Wolf,

starts with 6 and ends with 13.

I don't want to.

You can pay whenever you want,

I bring you luck, don't 12

I said no. Get out,

Today's lottery, gentlemen! No one?

This month, Tiger will fight against Wolf.

Stick to Tiger to see he's ready.

Tiger doesn't have a team yet.

But we'll form one for him. Wolf will lose, you see?

Look who's coming.

Nothing suspicious, boss.

Captain, what a mess! Bringing all

these people here!

-I'll explain-- �You'll explain?

I no longer know who's a cop or a client here.

I'm warning you, as a Mexican citizen--

-Don't get mad. -How can I not?

It's OK. Come in here,

"The police couldn't do anything yet

about the weird body snatcher's case.�

Why is that related to my gym?

That's what surveillance Is about,

I'll explain. Listen.

Come here, Tiger!

Tell me.

You'll fight against Wolf next month.

Me?

He's a different weight class.

-You're afraid of him? -No way! But...

Didn't you want a shot?

Of course, a shot, but a good one!

Well, there it is! If you waste it, it's your problem.

Sorry to interrupt, but, do you work here?

No, sir. I'm pretending to.

I won't take up your time, then.

I wanted to tell you I'm from out of town,

Really? I could never tell

Right?

I've just arrived. Could you guess that?

I don't know anybody here.

What did you say your name was?

[ Didn't,

Isn't that so?

If you want to tell me now, feel free to.

Can you let me work, please?

Alright.

Me? Losing?

Yes, that's it.

Against Tiger, who doesn't have a team?

That's the ideal To make him belong to one.

I don't feel like losing! I don't!

-Shut up! -I won't shut up!

You're hot-headed. We'll talk later.

Come on, Wolf, buy this one.

It's the number you like. Listen to me.

Buy it, come on!

Get out of here!

It's easy to bully a poor old man, right?

Mind your own business.

Can you push me like you pushed him?

With one hand tied behind my back.

Any idiot can talk.

Should I fix that?

It has no fluid.

May 12

Try it now.

My name is Guillermo.

Alright. I'm Lucia. Thank you for the lighter.

Lucia. That's a pretty name It matches you.

As I was saying before, Lucia,

I don't know anybody here and I feel very lonely.

-Do you smoke? -No. I'm training.

I came to town to become a famous fighter.

They're fighting for real.

They'll hurt each other!

What's going on?

Stop them! They'll get hurt

Let me go!

I said let me go!

Take him to a cold shower, see if he calms down!

When you cool down, come to my office!

I'm sick of the lack of discipline!

What was the problem?

This guy keeps making trouble

Who is he?

He's a weird guy, a good fighter. He arrived recently.

Where from?

He says he's Cuban, but I don't believe that.

He's an excellent fighter.

The worst part is having to put up with him.

Put up with him? Why?

Why, you ask?

There aren't many good fighters.

By the way, I want you to meet a boy that came with me.

Guillermo.

Excuse me,

Mr. Dorantes, Guillermo Santana, an old friend of mine

Nice to meet you, sir.

He's eager about fighting.

-Professionally? -Yes, sir.

He has the body for it.

I personally recommend him.

We'll see what we can do. Rubio!

Give this man a locker and let him

train when he pleases.

-Thank you, sir. -Come with me.

Just give me a minute. I'll go say goodbye.

What did you say that Cuban's name was?

Things are falling into place.

-I'm glad. -Well?

What do you say?

I don't like eating alone.

Is this an invitation?

Forgive me,

but I don't have dinner with men I don't know.

Please.

No way.

Please.

No.

Bull Camilo isn't mine, as I said.

He is my pal's.

But the 11 little pigs, offspring

of the beautiful sow, those are mine. And such a good breed!

All of them alike, pink, fat and short.

They're identical brothers

And when you have eight sows like that,

you can be sure you won't suffer any hardships.

Their eyes are sparkling, don't you think?

It seems they knew their owner

would win the first prize at the Mocorito fair.

You'll get to know them someday, I promise.

Someday, you'll be sitting by the ranch's gate.

The sun comes in like this,

and the sky slowly turns red,

and the cows come back from the pasture,

while the horses

go to the hill.

The light starts to decrease,

until everything stays still

and one can hear the crickets' singing.

By then, the ravine starts to see

a round moon that illuminates everything.

-What is it? -The bill you asked for, sir.

Oh, right.

What is it?

Dammit! Someone stole my wallet!

You were so eager 10 invite me...

It's OK. I'll pay.

Come with me and I'll pay you right back.

To your house?

To go get the money?

No.

Don't think the worst, We're not like that where I'm from.

Come.

-See you tomorrow, man. -See you.

-Bye, Piruli. -Bye.

What's up?

We're wasting our time. Nothing is going on here.

SHOWERS

You should be here every day at 7 p.m.

What happened?

The other guy got sick

and, as [ didn't know the way, Iran late,

-You know where the laundry is? -No.

In the shower room, It's 30 towels and 30 sheets,

Thank you.

It's 8 p.m. Let's make our round.

Let's go.

See you tomorrow. I didn't do well today.

No one paid

Here's your dinner, dad.

Mom says if you can give her eight pesos.

Your mom is always asking for money.

Do you have smaller bills, Don Panchito?

Sure.

1,2,8,4,

5,6,7,8,9 and 10,

-Here. -And mom says you should

-go home early. -As soon as I can,

It's 50 nice to have homemade food brought to you, right?

Healthier and cheaper.

Don't you want one?

Well, honestly..

Come on!

They look delicious.

This taco is delicious.

Mmm,

Forgive me, please. I'm so clumsy.

It's OK. Hey, buddy!

You'll just take the laundry?

You're right.

30 towels, 30 sheets. Did you count them?

Yes, sir. They're OK. Would you like to check?

No, it's OK. I already did.

What is it?

Nothing, I was checking the laundry.

Alright.

I beg you to forgive me.

Forget it.

-Throw them away. -Thank you.

Captain, here's your lucky number, don't miss it!

No, old man. Some other day.

Hey!

Who were those?

The laundry people.

Come on, captain. Take your lucky number.

No, old man. Some other day.

Come on, boys

Take the last number, please.

How is he?

His blood isn't cooling yet.

�His pulse? -If's starting to lower.

Alright. We need to hurry.

Professor!

One more failure,

His nerves still had life,

his muscles were still working!

His blood was running through his veins, he desired to live!

Only one thing could have failed.

Mankind is weak, professor. Very weak.

Yes, I know. But I'm not.

The strength in my brain

compensates my body's weakness

I need to create a stronger man,

superior to the extinct kinds!

That's what happened!

Yes! The brain transplanted to this loser

wasn't strong enough.

I'll try again and again

until I win from death!

Could you light my cigar, honey?

Can you give me a match?

Hey, you!

Captain Robles wants to speak with you.

With me?

Yes, let's go.

-Could you recognize him? -Sure.

Here he is, boss.

What happened here?

-Black Wolf was killed. -Killed?

He owed me 50 pesos! Who's going to pay me now?

Could you recognize the laundry man

who came yesterday? Did you see him well?

My vision isn't the best, but I did see him,

I want to know if you could identify him.

Yes, maybe I could

-Take him to the station. -Yes, captain.

-Did you find anything? -No.

Let's check the fingerprints in the shower.

Damn, he was killed, wasn't he?

Guillermo...

I was taking a sunbath.

We were to meet at 11 am., right?

What time is it?

Five to 11, but there's no rush.

None at all, I guarantee.

Sure.

I'm sorry. I lost track of time.

-I'll go get dressed. -Why?

Just come over here and let's talk.

I'll go put a shirt on.

I'll be right back, or we'll run late.

Please, answer the phone, Guillermo.

Hello?

Yes, 14,21,22,

Yes, this is Guillermo Santana.

Alright.

-Who is it? -It's for me. It's Carlos

Ah.

What's up, Carlos?

How did you know I was here?

You forgot I'm a policeman.

I need you urgently.

Yes, right now.

I have a very important issue.

If it's so urgent, I'll meet you there in some minutes.

Would you please help me?

What did Carlos want?

He needs me urgently at the station. Shall we go?

Maybe they want to lock you there

and I would wait a long time.

No. Let's go.

It won't take long.

You go. I'll wait here.

You promise? -Of course.

I'll be right back.

I won't even say goodbye.

What is it?

Nothing, I was just thinking that this man...

-What? -Well,

he looks a lot like one who owes me 180 pesos for the lottery.

He was a waiter at Jalisco's,

But is he the one who took the laundry or not?

Well, there's people who look a lot like other people.

1, for example,

had a friend named Timoteo and--

Take him. Go, good fellow.

All of you too. Out! Now!

-Come on! -Come with me.

Quick!

Here's this afternoon news.

BEFORE ONE CAPTAIN, TWO OFFICERS AND 9 POLICEMEN,

THE FAMOUS FIGHTER "BLACK WOLF" IS MURDERED

Well? What do you say?

What can I say? We're doing our best.

Your best isn't enough!

You need to do more! To deliver results!

Why don't you take the solution I proposed?

Which solution?

Ah, yes. No

We can't knowingly risk a man's life.

I'll take the whole responsibility.

Even so, I can't authorize it.

And we don't know if your friend would accept.

I know him very well.

I'm sure I can convince him.

Without lying to him?

Saying clearly he'll be risking his life?

Of course! Explaining everything clearly. No lies.

It's about creating a man with unusual strength,

an invincible fighter we can use as bait.

Oh, wow.

To lure the criminal so we catch him

at the right time.

After he cut my throat, right?

That's very likely. We won't lie to you.

If you accept, you will risk your life.

Very interesting. A promising and merry future

A very happy one.

No one knows you in Mexico yet.

If you fought with a mask...

�The Vampire!

International champion from..." I don't where from,

we'll manage to make you a wrestling star

in a split second

You would get a lot of money.

To have a proper funeral, with flowers and music, right?

What else?

Do know you have no obligation to accept.

Yes, you said that already.

Your life is at risk,

If you accept Robles's idea,

is with full knowledge

that we're facing a greatly resourceful

and highly skilled criminal

Clearly, this must all be strictly confidential.

No one must know about it.

-No one? -No one.

Dammit.

That is actually a problem.

No one, no one?

-You're thinking of Lucia? -You guessed.

I figured that out too.

Come to my office. I'll explain.

Excuse me, boss.

How long will this tour take?

About two or three months,

It will begin in the U.S

I'll have to fight in San Francisco,

then in Laredo,

then El Paso and then we will go

to some minor arenas.

Everything is set already.

Don't you think it's great

Carlos arranged all that for me?

-Yes, -You see now?

It would have been impossible for me in Mexico,

but instead I'll be renowned when I get back.

If you do come back, that is.

Of course I'll come back,

Don't go, Guillermo,

I feel something bad is going to happen.

I will come back,

I'll come back for you.

For me?

I've learnt to love you in such a short time,

I love you too, Lucia

I really do.

As I never have before,

And I'll come back for you and write to you every week,

every day.

Was I clear?

Our plans--

I know your plans.

You've explained several times.

But our superiors don't settle for plans,

they want actual results

If we don't deliver those soon,

we'll have to hand in our resignation,

and I'm not willing to!

-Listen, sir-- -I will not.

Immediate results or your resignation!

Use the whole police force,

change the officers you have assigned,

use your talent!

We'll go separate ways.

Remember we must meet by the arena's north hall.

-Is the plan clear? -Yes, professor.

Sync your watches to mine.

I think it's the Red Cross.

The Red Cross is calling me?

I'm coming.

Today's lottery, doc.

How are you feeling?

Very well

Don Felipe!

The crowd is growing impatient and complaining.

Go on, hurry.

Hey!

Stop!

What happened?

MEDICAL SERVICE

Check him, doctor,

-He's dead. -Captain!

This is the man that went to the gym to get the laundry.

-Are you sure? -Yes, captain.

Seems your problems and mine are over.

So this was the body snatcher!

What happened to you?

I didn't even notice,

Doctor,

Please, check him.

It's OK, it's just a scratch.

-Can he fight? -Sure he can.

I'll put some alcohol on it.

Finally, can I go see Lucia?

Today, after your fight.

Let me see,

It burns!

Tough it out.

- It burns, doctor. - Hold it.

Vampire!

Come on, the crowd is growing impatient. What happened?

An accident.

This fight isn't settled.

Come on, man,

Don't let anyone come close

-I'll call the medical examiner. -OK, boss.

Come on, go on.

With the police station, please, miss,

Boss. This is Robles,

Yes.

Yes, we have the body snatcher.

For the national championship, the best of three falls match,

no time limit!

In this corner, the tough and invincible "Vampire"!

In this corner, �Tiger"!

I have great news for you.

Tonight you'll see someone you care about.

Guillermo! Where is he?

What do you think of the invincible "Vampire"?

I don't know... No!

What happened?

This man is dead.

Guillermo!

Is he dead?

MORGUE

THE PARENTS ASSOCIATION ASKS FOR THE INSPECTOR'S RESIGNATION

THE VAMPIRE'S CORPSE IS STOLEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE POLICE

And now?

-We'll have to quit. -To quit.

As if quitting would bring Guillermo back to life.

I feel guilty, as a murderer!

I sacrificed my best friend's life

and the criminal made fun of us,

Of me, above all!

This is all we could find out,

His name was Cosme Ramirez, he has no family,

he left Mexico seven years ago through Laredo,

he left no tracks,

Any information on his studies?

Allow me,

He was doing the 2nd year of medical school.

That's all.

I can't keep the journalists out

They demand talking to you.

OK, fellow, I'll have them.

Everything's working perfectly.

Alright.

He lives!

He came back to life!

I have won over death!

No one can stop me now!

Calm down, professor.

The world will be mine!

No one can stop met

I will rule over humanity!

I'm a creator too!

Guillermo,

get up!

Come to me.

Come out.

Aaah! Aaah!

Sit on that chair,

Obey!

He's under my absolute command

You like freedom,

That cage has kept you imprisoned.

Go towards it!

Go!

Lift it?

Throw It!

Throw It out the window!

Aaah!

Go in.

Lie down,

You need to rest,

This is terrible,

Since the Vampire died,

the ticket sales have dropped enormously.

I want to talk to you about it. Come. I have a surprise.

Where?

Come.

LOCKER ROOMS

"Vampire the Second�, the resurrected.

He is Juventino Romero.

He has a lot of skills and he is trustworthy.

You don't say..

Good idea.

It's a very good idea!

And in this corner, the resurrected,

"Vampire the Second"!

What's wrong with this guy?

Nothing, he's just playing his part. Let him be.

[Carlos I Come, boys!

Major!

The station reported

he killed a guard down the 22nd and San Francisco.

Let's go, boys!

What happened?

The monster went around the corner!

Let's go!

Wait. He left the arena and walked through this street,

If it's Guillermo, I know where he's going.

Turn around the car and get me the boss.

Look, boss!

Get ready!

No! Don't shoot,

Guillermo...

Guillermo, is that you?

Guillermo!

The death of Mr. Guillermo Santana

is, undoubtedly, a terrible loss

for all of us, and especially for you.

We understand that,

But we can do nothing to mitigate your sorrow.

It's my superiors' specific order

that I deliver this scroll to you

in recognition of Mr. Santana's loyalty.

I also want to give you this medal,

the civic merit medal.

Mr. Santana's sacrifice

has not been in vain, for his death

has freed society from a dangerous criminal,

saving, this way, many lives,

and has taught us, above all,

through its bitter experience,

how far can mankind go,

which, without measuring consequences,

exceeds science's limits

and wishes to step into spaces that only belong to God.

I offer you my condolences

and my superiors',

and do know we are profoundly grateful.

THE END
