Attention, ladies and gentlemen

This train stops here due to an accident

We're half way into the station

The doors will now be opened to let you out

Please do as you're told

Ladies and gentlemen, let's go

Through the carriages, to the platform

What's happened

A man threw himself under the train

Leave the platform as fast as you can

Don't look at the track

He's been cut in half

Right, let's go!

Move!

Out you go, keep to one line, please

Keep going, eyes off the track

There's nothing to see, keep moving

A man threw himself on the track...

No looking, please!.

Don't touch anything!

Move on, there's nothing to see

Keep moving, don't be so morbid

Keep going, go on! Move along!

School of Mass Communication

November, 1955

It's just an outline

Well, I like your approach

It's a very sensitive subject

And just what the ghouls will lap up

But you're treating it objectively

Thanks

See in you class

Just one more thing...

On section No. 7...

"Audiovisual Violence"

I need more material

What kind?

Footage never shown on TV because of its violent nature

You have access to the library

You could get me interesting material

You find this stuff interesting?

Not personally, only for my project

- Violent footage... - As violent as possible

It would a bit awkward asking for films of such nature

They'd think I'm a freak

I can't promise anything

- Come back tomorrow - Thanks

Right, see you next week

And keep going to the cinema

Are you Chema?

I'm Angela

Cool!

Listen, I hear you like violent films and have quite a collection

Of what?

You know, gore, porn...

It's false and you can't have them anyway

Go to a sex shop if you want a turn-on

It's for my thesis: Audiovisual Violence

Try Mickey Mouse

So you want to see the tapes?

So you do have them?

Yes or no?

You, students, like shooting off your mouth about film-making

But you know zilch about movies

What do you know about it?

What I've got in here

You two-faced sods say my films are crap, but you're all dying to see them

It's for my thesis... I'm not interested in your -

Come on in

Do you want some?

No, thanks

Right to the point, then - very well

Don't say I didn't warn you

Do you live with burglars?

I live alone

- No parents? - They don't live in Madrid

This was my grandmother's. She died last year

Don't touch anything

No one's allowed here. You're lucky

Why me?

You're gorgeous

- Thanks - You were born that way

Sit down, I don't charge for it

What do you want to see?

What have you got?

All types of porn

Soft, hard, violent, Eastern, you name it - all hot stuff

I'm not interested in this kind of porn, if that's all you have to offer...

You want action, then? Very well...

I need the really violent stuff

Really violent? How nice. You'll get off on this then

What is it?

"Fresh Blood" - a very beautiful and educational film

What are they doing?

What do you think? Removing his brain

God...

That's what you wanted, so don't get squeamish

It's all real:

executions, beatings, lynchings... great stuff

- Hello... - Hello, Mr Figueroa

I need a favour

I'm looking for a Czech film but I don't remember the title

Can I check the tapes?

- You mean, in the storeroom? - I know it's irregular, but...

Come with me...

You know, it's odd... no one ever asks to go in

But you're the second one today

Is that so?

He came in a moment ago...

Professor?

He can't hear me

Right, it's arranged by genres. I'll leave you to it

Shouldn't we wait for him to finish?

No, I don't think you'll bother him

- Unless it bothers you... - No, of course not

It's so large, you won't bump into him

See you

"Pornography etc., Shelf 5H"

It's horrible!

Do people really watch such films?

You do, for one

That's different, I don't enjoy them

It's loathsome

Ever seen anyone killed?

What do you think?

Not TV killing, real life killing

This is real. What more do you want?

You don't get me

I've never seen anyone killed

Mr Figueroa, we have to close now

Well, that's it

- Hi, bookworm - Have you seen Figueroa?

So you go for older men, do you?

Did you find him?

He didn't come to class, nor did you. Where were you?

Never mind... I'm off

Can a film kill someone?

A heart attack or something like that...

...caused by what they see

Not again! Wasn't yesterday enough?

You're a real sadist, aren't you?

If so, you'd even fuck a freak like me

I've got money

We're off...

- Sena? - Coming!

Sure you won't come?

No, I must work on my thesis

Then you'll want to borrow my clothes!

Don't work too hard...

- Mum? - What?

- What's on this tape? - What tape?

In the VCR. Did you watch it last night?

See what it is

- It's mine - Can't I watch it?

- It's for my thesis... it'll bore you! - How do you know?

I bet it's not just a reportage

Silence!

Please quiet down

Hello everyone

I suppose you've all heard the sad news

Prof. Figueroa died on Tuesday

He was found in the screening room

Apparently he had an asthma attack while watching a film

I bet it was a Spanish film

You saw the film?

Did you take it?

My name is Castro

Jorge Castro

I'm a professor of Audiovisual Psychology, as some of you know

I'll be replacing Prof. Figueroa for the time being

I know the programme quite well...

...so we should be able to carry on as normal

Which reminds me...

Angela Marquez?

I believe Prof. Figueroa supervised your thesis

I'd be happy to take it on

We can discuss it whenever you like

You're losing it

I'm not. You found him dead and took the tape

I didn't!

She did it! She took the tape!

- Why should I show it to you? - Because I showed you mine

- Why do you want it? - Why do you?

- It's for my thesis... - Bullshit! What the fuck's on it?

I don't know

What?

I haven't seen it yet

You're stupid or what?

Your place or mine?

Give me the tape

Let the fun begin

I can't!

Your loss

Switch it off!

It's real!

What?

A girl, tied to a chair, being beaten by a guy wearing a balaclava

Why are you doing this to me?

Shit, this is horrible!

I can't...

What's he going to do to her?

Don't watch!

I don't want to

Don't look!

Don't look!

I know her

She was at the university

She disappeared two years ago

Is she dead?

What else? They blew her brains out

What are they doing now?

- Cutting her up - Jesus!

Switch it off!

I knew it! The bastard's a butcher

Her name was Vanessa

Why did they do it to her?

It looks like a garage, doesn't it?

Yes, it's a garage

- It is a garage! - So what?

- She was tortured and killed - You don't say!

How can you watch this filth?

- You stole that filth! - I didn't know what it was

No, but you had an idea... deep down you like it

- What did you say? - You heard me

That's really stupid!

- Wait, what the hell's this? - I'm not watching!

I'm talking of the texture

The horizontal lines...

I only see intestines...

You've learnt nothing in 5 years. The texture's different

So?

It's a digital zoom!

The bugger used digital zoom

So what?

We can find the camera he used

How many cameras have digital zoom? 5000? 1 0,000?

How many were there two years ago?

Not many

Very few

Autofocus, light control, stabilizer, stereo mike...

Shit!

Here: "Digital zoom - the centre of the picture gets..."

B-2000 - it only came out this year

Let's see...

Stroboscopic effect, solar effects...

I'm sure that was the one

The XT-500?

Fuck, that's it! The XT-500

Here it is, I'm sure

Autofocus, audio dubbing... digital zoom

"This feature offers...

"...a significant enlargement of the original." There you go...

He used a XT-500

- It's the Hl-8 system, I think - Fascinating...

- Well, I'm going home for dinner - You're hungry?

No, scared

Don't take it with you

I want to see it again

Her parents haven't heard from her

Sena, come here

Did you search my room?

Why? Of course not

I hate people snooping around

It wasn't me

Well, someone's been looking around

It wasn't me

You were after that tape, right?

Leave me alone

It's Chema. I've got something

I'm not interested, got it?

- Someone's been in my room - What?

Calm down, will you?

- No one knows, don't panic! - Of course not

You'd better check your room as well

No one's been in here

But I must show you something

- I can't... - Yes, you can!

- I don't want to! - Yes, you do!

It didn't seem important at first

No, please, don't... please!

"Please..."

" Please..."

There!

What?

It's a cut

Look again

No, please, don't... please!

Why are you doing this to me?

It's been edited

Not just here, it's full of cuts

All done in the same way - very subtle

He's almost in the same position

So why the cut?

You want to see everything in films like these

The more you see, the better

So why cut it?

So we won't see something

Why me? Please -

She was going to say something

What?

Something he doesn't want us to hear

His name

- She knew who he was - So what?

So now we know something about him

You sound like the police

Hey, don't insult me

We must find who were her friends

He might be one of them

Look...

I've had enough of this

You're scared

Of course I am, this isn't a game. It's real killing

Piss off, then. I'll do this on my own

You don't get it - I said it's over!

For you as well

I don't want any trouble

- I won't get you into trouble - So what will you do?

Go after anyone with a camera like that?

And if you find him? Or he finds you?

That's my problem

Too right it is

I've never been here, I don't know you and I've never seen that tape

What is cinema?

Cinema is an industry, it's money

It's millions invested in films and then retrieved at the box office

We have no cinema because it's not seen as industry

There's no communication between the makers and their public

We've reached a critical stage

Spanish cinema can only be saved if it's accepted as an industrial factor

You, as students of cinema, are the future of Spanish cinema

Save it!

The American industry...

...is strangling you and there's only one way to fight it:

Give the public what it wants

Don't forget that

Angela, right?

How do you do...

- A drink? - No, thanks

Here's my project

Don't be so formal, I'm not that old

I've neglected it lately

Never mind, I just want to get an idea

Anything else I need to know?

Excellent

"University Student Disappears"

"Where is Our Daughter?

"Court Blocks New lnquiry in Vanessa Romero's Case"

That's all for today... see you tomorrow

Don't forget to bring in your work

What do you want?

What do you want of me?

This is yours!

Are you doing Journalism?

No, cinema and TV

- One of us? - Give it to me, please

Is this a project you're working on?

No... well, yes, it's a project

- You're in luck then - Why?

I knew her

A friend of my girl. I know what happened

That's alright, thanks... I've got all I need

There are things you don't know

Where were you?

Yolanda, this is...

Angela

She's doing a project on Vanessa

Can I have a word?

Hi, roadrunner

Is it really a project or are you kidding me?

No, it's true

And the camera?

Camera?

For the project?

Oh, of course

- Well, the truth is... - You're confused

What?

No, the thing is... we still haven't got it

We've got to get authorization

Will this do?

I've had enough! It's bullshit

You've got to help me!

To interview him?

He pushed me

Pushed you?

What does one ask a killer?

Was Vanessa a normal girl?

I'm glad you asked: she was a wonderful girl, full of life...

...until I killed her, of course

Did she mix with wierd types?

No, she was a saint

Did Vanessa seem odd prior to her disappearance?

What do I know?

- Do you think she was killed? - You can't ask that!

- It's fundamental - You'll fuck up if you ask that

If I don't, he'll think I'm avoiding the issue

Who care what he might think. This isn't your thesis

What is it?

I'm leaving

Why?

Because

Great

Alright, I'm sorry

Where are my keys?

So what's his name?

Where are my keys?

- What's this? - These are my sister's

- I never lose my keys - Welcome to the club

This is Bosco and this is Chema

How's it going?

- Is that the camera? - Chema's the cameraman

- You know how it works? - I think so

When you're ready

Bosco was in class with Vanessa

Can you tell us what happened?

Well, Vanessa didn't come to class for several days

When we phoned her, they said she's disappeared

The police looked for her for months but we never heard from her again

You think she was kidnapped?

Some say so, but it's absurd

She sent one letter in which she wrote....

...that she was in love with some guy and ran off with him

There was no ransom demand

Didn't you think it strange that you knew nothing about her private life?

I don't spy on people... do you?

Any idea who she'd run away with?

No, but knowing Vanessa, it had to be someone...

...very special

- In what way? - In every way

Vanessa...

Two years have gone by and I'm sure you've made a new life for yourself

But wherever you are...

...your friends won't forget you

Please, Vanessa...

Come back, I love you

- He was crying... - Bullshit!

- Suppose he's honest - Don't fall for it

You look at his angelic face and believe every word he says

- Do you fancy him? - Don't be silly

Don't you be silly

But that letter...

The letter just says she fell in love

- Who with? - Who do you think?

How can you so sure? And besides...

...Bosco has a girl

Get this into your head

Apart from being a stuck-up little turd, he is a psychopath...

That's all he is

Can't you see how he looks at you?

He's dying to blow your brains out while he buggers you

- He's mad! - Sounds like you know him

Right, go for him. He'll come round with a camera and a knife

- So what now? - Nothing

Why?

We know who he is, now let's go home

We must tell the police

Like hell we do! Not me, anyway...

We've no proof. We don't even know where the old man got the tape

From the library

No way

Anyone home?

A friend of your's here. He's gorgeous

Is Angela home?

- She is, come on in - Thanks

A bit on edge, aren't you?

You know where I live?

I do my own investigations

So what do you want?

I brought you the interview

Thank you, there was no need

That's not why I came

Why then?

I want to shoot you

What?

There are no shots of you interviewing me

We need them for the editing

Sure, I forgot

Right, when you're ready

Here?

It's in close-up. You can't tell where we are

You'll see

Where's your room?

I don't like being taped

I don't believe that

A pretty girl like you?

Don't worry, it won't take long

Had this camera long?

Around... four months

It's no longer on the market

God, you do know everything

I got it second-hand

Why do you ask?

No special reason

You like asking questions, don't you?

Can I ask you one?

Go ahead

What colour are my eyes?

I don't know... I haven't really looked

I see... so you're a liar as well

How much longer?

You're in a hurry?

It's almost lunch

You'll stay for lunch, Bosco?

Love to

Great, I'm nipping out for a few things

Be good

What are you doing?

The light's bad for this camera. Sit on the bed

Why?

I can't get a good focus from here. Sit on the bed

That's it

Ready when you are

We're talking to Bosco, a classmate of Vanessa...

...who was close to her prior to -

Aren't you checking?

It's one straight shot

Look at me when you ask the questions

Did she mix with wierd types? Do you think she was kidnapped?

Any idea who she ran away with?

That's it

Hang on

You need some nods as reaction to my answers

For intercuts

Wait...

What?

- We were closer yesterday - I don't think so

Does it bother you?

Say when it starts bothering you

Don't!

Every word brings me an inch closer

It's not funny

Don't speak

Nervous?

- Of course not - Not a word!

The mouth can kill

I'm not going to die

"I'm-not-going-to-die"

Five inches

What colour are my eyes?

Are you going to kill me?

Six more inches for saying that

Just one more word...

...and we collide

I thought you wanted this

Next time I'll punch your face

There won't be a next time

Angela, don't let Bosco set the table

- Who switched channels? - I did, the news is boring

How would you know? Where's the remote?

So you work as well as study?

I do some filming

What kind?

Whatever I get: weddings...

- Baptisms... - Does it pay?

Enough

Angela never does such things

She works hard on her thesis

You're doing your thesis?

I've just started

On what?

I'm not sure yet

Audiovisual violence and the family

You're into violence?

Not really

She loves it. She's warped. She spends hours analysing violent films

Shut up, Sena

Is this project part of your thesis?

No, why?

The last film she brought home was really something

You're doing a project?

What is it about?

Shall we eat? We've talked enough

What do you study?

- I started law this year - Law?

What do you know... I wanted to do law

Really? So why didn't you?

Don't know, I'm not cut out for it

You've got to be very...

Very tenacious... and very intelligent

- I'm neither and I'm studying it - Your meat's getting cold

You look it

What?

lntelligent...

How's Yolanda?

Who's Yolanda?

His girlfriend

We've broken up

Really?

More or less... the meat is excellent

He's been to your house? Bloody hell!

Why did you let him in?

I can't help it, he charmed my family

It's you he's charmed. With me, not even coffee, but him you invite home!

Stop being silly!

He says he bought it 4 months ago, second-hand

That snotty sod using second-hand?

He bought it new, with guarantee. He's got you again

We can check

You either believe him or me

That's rubbish!

Look, I've lost the receipt and the shop doesn't have it either but...

- They said you'd have it - What was it?

A XT-500 camera

You must have bought it...

Two years ago

The guarantee's expired

I know, but I need to keep the receipts

Alright...

1 993...

- You live in Madrid? - Yes

Your name?

It's my brother's - Bosco Herranz

He must come himself

They said it's not necessary on the phone

Who told you?

Some girl, I think

One moment, please

"Customer:"

"Customer unknown"

"ltem:"

I knew it!

Freddy Kruger himself

Haven't seen you for a while

I've been busy

- Jerking off? - Less than you

Can I look at the closed-circuit tapes?

You want me to get the sack?

The 1 2th, the library

Slow down

What do I get?

My body

No, thanks

High-class porn

How did you get in?

What do you want?

Don't you know?

To kill you

The phone

Someone called Castro

- I hope I didn't wake you up - Not at all

I'd like to discuss your thesis

How about 1 1 today, in my office

- Fine... - Great

I'll see you later then

Is Angela there?

No, she's out

Come in

- How are you? - Fine...

Have a seat

Cigarette?

I don't smoke, thanks

Right, let's see...

It's somewhere here...

I'm hopeless

Here it is

Let's see...

Why are you interested in violence?

We get so much of it in films, on TV, that we're getting too used to it

So?

I'm concerned

Why?

Because I don't like violence

You reject it?

Of course

Always?

Yet violence is something that is innate in us all

We can't censor every film

But the director must be aware of its impact

The director's only duty is to give the public what it wants

That's the basic principle of all entertainment

Do you reject show-business?

- No, but... - It's a very complex issue

For example...

On what type of violence...

...will you focus?

How do you mean?

Any particular genre?

I got the impression - and correct me if I'm wrong...

I find that your approach is rather...

- Superficial? - Yes

You should get in deeper

This is meant to be a research project

These are just notes, it's not final

So you're investigating?

lnvestigating what?

I don't know... it's for you to tell me

Tell you what?

What you're investigating

I didn't say I was, you did

Alright

Since you seem reluctant to collaborate...

I don't get it

I'll tell you... try a different angle

What killed Figueroa?

Why ask me?

He was your supervisor. You must know what killed him

You said it was an asthma attack

He was quite old

What was in the screening room...

What was it he saw that could have killed him

Any idea?

You like theories... don't you have one?

No, I don't

Look, Angela...

I think you're an intelligent girl

I'm sure you'll go far

That's why I don't understand you...

I don't understand you

Really?

You don't understand me?

I think you do

Think whatever you like. I think I've heard enough

You know something?

So have l

I hate such situations. It's humiliating to be caught lying...

Like this, especially

Don't you agree?

It makes you wonder:

why do people lie?

Why are you lying?

What's on that tape

You've lost your voice

Very well...

I want that tape in my office, tomorrow

Agreed?

Now tell me

Why did you take it?

- Is Angela there? - No, who is it?

Where is she?

She had a meeting with some professor

Who?

Angela, I can't supervise a student who steals, lies...

...and, worst of all...

...who doesn't trust me. So, for the last time, why did you take it?

I don't know

- Where did you get it? - I don't know

Was it yours?

You wanted it back?

- So why take it? - I don't know

I'm getting tired of this

No professor here will take up your thesis if you're not straight with them

It has nothing to do with my thesis

It's far more serious

I'm all ears

No one else knows this

What?

It's for you

You can take in there

Angela, it's Chema. What are you doing there?

- Get out, now! That guy's in it - How do you know?

- He knows about the tape? - He knows I took it

So he knows everything. He'll want it

Find some excuse and get out!

- I've got to go... - Do you?

I'll see you...

Shouldn't we finish...

- It's my thesis, my degree? - It's your life!

- I tried to get you all day yesterday - I called you too

- He'll be after me now - He's one of them

- I thought it was just Bosco - You were wrong

- How many are there? - No idea, but Castro is one of them

- How do you know? - How did he know you had the tape?

Because he saw me on the closed-circuit camera

Yes, and another camera taped him

- That's Figueroa - Wait...

Where was he?

Around the corner

He found out everything, including the tape

What's in that corner?

An underground store-room where they hide things

What things?

I've taken some

Vanessa wasn't the only victim

It's not an isolated incident. It's a business

Torture, murders... It's all down there

The cameras must be there too

What cameras?

13 XT-500, bought by the faculty two years ago, for practice

Do you know what it means?

To begin with, Bosco's not involved

Again? Why do you defend him?

There are 1 3 cameras. Any student could have filmed it

- No student made this film! - How do you know?

Because I - I did projects with those cameras

What?

Before they were scrapped

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now

It's nothing to do with this

Those cameras are just gathering dust somewhere

They're gone. Nobody knows where they are

Great

- They must be down there - There are only tapes

- We must find them - I was there, there's nothing

- Tonight, Chema! - Shit, no!

Listen to me, just once

You're doing it for him

You're in love with him, idiot

Tonight, idiot!

What do you want?

To talk to you

About?

Vanessa was killed

We all had nothing but lectures...

...so Vanessa and I joined a directors' workshop, Bosco too

We did some practice with cameras

- What type? - I don't know, I don't remember

One guy took the whole thing very seriously

He was always telling us what to do

Then Bosco and that other guy became friends

They started working together

They asked one girl to act for them

She had to take off her clothes and...

Well, I left them to it

Why?

It was awful

And the professor said nothing?

- Who was it? - Jorge Castro

Do you know him?

It got worse

Towards the end of the year...

...Bosco's friend told us about Snuff. Do you know what it is?

They choose some person...

...kidnap, torture, kill them and record it all on tape or film

No editing, no effects, no make-up

All in one sequence shot

That guy was obsessed with Snuff

Vanessa and I got scared...

He said it was very easy to make such stuff

I told Bosco we should pull out

And?

They stopped seeing each other. I don't know why

The workshop closed

And a week later, Vanessa disappeared

They said she ran away from home

But she'd have told me

I'm sure that guy killed her

He used her in a snuff film

And the letter?

They sent it after she disappeared. She was probably forced to write it

And that guy?

Your friend, with the glasses

I've seen you with him

There are more. Do you watch TV?

More cases like Vanessa's

Five girls in two years

"The police suspects...

"...a video Snuff network." No other clear motive

No bodies

Have you told Bosco?

We hardly talk nowaday

Besides, he won't believe me

Chema wouldn't do it

You never know

- I know him - So do l

And I know it's him

- You don't believe me? - You said it

And this?

Is that also a lie?

The best woman in the world found her other half

She wore the trousers, he gave the blows

You had many lovers, none of them are alive today

They died, crushed under, while they were making love

There are times...

We can go

You knew Bosco before

Did you?

Did you know him?

Great! Thanks for telling me now

You told him about Snuff

So? Making snuff movies is something else

Why look for Vanessa's friends?

You know who they are

I hardly knew Vanessa or her friends

I only knew Bosco

Why did you fall out?

- I didn't trust him - Oh, really?

He looks sweet but he's a bastard

So are you, you lied to me...

...you said you weren't involved

So you wouldn't associate me with Bosco!

I didn't want to scare you. I didn't want you to think that l...

And you care what I think?

You're right, think what you like

- Suppose I think that... - What?

Nothing, forget it

What about the cameras?

I know the security guy

Now what?

It's somewhere here

This way

These tunnels lead to the old boilers. No one's been down here in years

This way

See? Only tapes

Figueroa took the first one he saw

How many are there?

About 200

Must be good business

What are you doing?

Looking for the cameras

Shit!

- What is it? - The masters

- Worth a fortune - You mean, the originals?

- No, but they must be here - Chema, don't waste time

The unedited originals: that's our evidence

They must have destroyed them

What was that?

- It's closed from outside - I don't believe it!

It may be worse

Worse?

- We've been locked in! - Chema, where are you?

- Beside you, you're choking me! - What's going on?

- God knows. Do you smoke? - No...

- Shit, we need a lighter! - I have matches

- Do you really? - I think so

You're panting... like a dog

Give me the matches

It's half empty... good!

We've got to move, they mustn't find us

There... over there, look!

Someone's watching us

It's our shadows... it's just our shadows!

You disappoint me

- I'm scared - So am l...

...but that won't get us out

- What's happened? - The match's gone out

Chema, hold me

- What? - Someone touched me!

You told me to hold you!

Don't leave me

Why are you so quiet? Why don't you talk?

- What can I say? - I don't know

Tell me who you are, what do you do?

I'm Chema, I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm Chema

Hi, I'm Chema

You're squeezing my arm too tight

I'm sorry

I'll tell you a story...

A children story

Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a palace

And?

This way...

When she was thirteen...

...they gave a great ball for her, with clowns, jugglers, acrobats...

But the princess was bored

Then an ugly dwarf appeared...

He danced, he did pirouettes...

"Please keep dancing", said the princess

But the dwarf was too tired, so the sad princess retired to her chamber

The dwarf was sure she would go and live with him in the wood

"She's not happy here", he thought

"I'll look after her, I'll make her laugh"

So the dwarf searched the palace for the princess' room

But in one of the rooms he saw something terrible

A monster with eyes which were bloody and crossed...

...with hairy hands and huge feet

When he realised he was seeing himself in the mirror, he almost died

At that moment, the princess walked in

"You're back, how nice! Will you dance with me again?"

But the dwarf was lying, lifeless, on the floor

The court doctor checked his pulse

"He won't dance with you again, Princess"

"Why?" she asked. "Because his heart is broken"

And the Princess said:

"From now on...

"...no one with a heart may enter this palace"

Here the story ends and the match bends

There's no way to tell which way to go

- There must be another exit - So what?

We can't see a bloody thing

Chema, bring the matrch here

What is it?

- What now? - Burn it!

Go on!

Shit!

It's the editing room

Look! I told you

These must be the scrapped ones

Maybe, but Bosco's camera might be one of these

I'm cold

Do you want my coat?

No, thanks

Good...

How many matches left?

Shit!

What now?

I don't know

Take something else off

- Why don't you? - OK, so it was a daft idea

Are they going to kill us?

Oh, yes

What are we going to do?

Shit, it's going out

Never mind

I can't see your face. I can't tell if it's you or someone else

Five...

Four, three, two...

- It's not funny - One...

Good-bye, Princess

I'm freezing

You can hug me, if you like

I like

Go on, then

Chema?

Don't look at the track!

What colour are my eyes?

You've fallen in love with him, idiot!

Why did Figueroa die?

"Because his heart is broken"...

The police knows everything

You've lied to me before

You killed Vanessa and the others

I've never killed anyone

I only edit the films

- Have you seen them? - They're filth

You give the public what it wants

It's just the beginning

Who killed them then?

I'll tell you if you tell me who phoned you this morning

You know what's going to happen now

That person won't be coming

I don't know where he is

You're lucky, because I won't make you suffer

lt'll be painless

Now, please...

For your own good...

Don't move your head

His name is Jorge Castro

He's pointing a gun at me

Very well...

Don't move

My name is Angela, I'm going to be killed

Exactly

He's dead

You wanted to see a killing, right?

Wanted to see a killing?

I've found a way out

I didn't pull the trigger, he did

I didn't kill him

What are we going to do now?

What do we do?

For a start, shut your mouth!

We mustn't see each other for a while

I'll take the masters with me

Let the bastard come after them

And if it's not him?

The Third Man

- Citizen Kane? - No, The Third Man...

Told you!

What's wrong?

Nothing...

I'm going to bed

I thought you were out with Sena and your friend

Which friend?

Bosco, he phoned a while ago and they went out

Did they say where?

- What are you doing here? - Where is he?

- In the toilet. Want a drink? - No, let's get out!

He left his girl, he fancies me!

Let's go home!

Why?

Sena, please, just go!

- Why? - Bosco's with me now

- He's not interested in you - And I'm supposed to believe you?

I'm going to the toilet

It's that way

What's going on?

- Don't hurt me! - How am I going to do that?

What do you want from me?

- Leave my sister alone - It's you I want

What for?

I told you not to come here

Let's go to the police

Sure, right away

- I mean it - Leave me alone!

- Hey, move aside! - You little shit!

- I don't want to go to jail - You won't, it was self-defence

- Who'll believe me? - It's on tape!

- We now know about the cameras... - So what?

The cops don't like me

Nobody does

Last night...

Chema, I can't take any more

You don't say!

Let's go to the police or I'll go mad

Where are you going?

To take a shower. We must look presentable

I won't abandon you

Nor me you

- Chema, where are the masters? - Can't hear you!

Hello? Police...

Why did you bolt the door?

- What's going on? - What do you mean?

- Someone's been calling all day - Who?

Don't know, they thought I was you

What did they say?

That I'm a whore and they're going to kill me

It's him

Angela...

It was a girl

Bosco, I know you're there

You can't fool me any more

Stop lying... you were seen last night at the disco

How could you?

The bitch doesn't love you, she lies

They all do! Nobody loves you as I do

Bosco, you can't leave me like this

You just can't!

I won't let you do it

You know I'm capable of anything...

Do you hear me?

- Don't let anyone in! - Where are you going?

I won't be long

- What are you doing here? - Can I come in?

I called your home, they gave me this address

I come here on weekends

Come on in

- Are you alone? - My parents only come in summer

- Sorry to bother you... - Don't worry

I was trying to study...

I'm glad you came

- Yolanda knows about last nigh - I know

I want you to talk to her

What for?

We've broken up

She's been calling my home

lgnore her

She threatened to kill me

You're not the first

What do you mean?

She can't stand me talking to other girls

She's just too much

She threatened all of them

Vanessa too?

What?

She knew about you and Vanessa?

What are you on about?

There was nothing between me and Vanessa

You're always up to something

Yolanda's right

You are something else

I'm beginning to think so too

Poor Angela

Always tense...

So I should be

Why?

What is it?

I don't want to go on

Are you toying with me?

I'd better leave

- You were different last night - I was drunk

Liar

Are you ever going to tell me?

- What? - That you fancy me

I fancy you

Let's do it then

It's the lights

Must be a blown fuse

I'll have a look

Bosco?

- I've come to save you again - Don't!

Come on, give me the gun...

Wanted kill me, did you?

Son of a bitch, you tried to kill me!

You little shit!

You always were!

Call an ambulance

Let's tie him up first

Why, Chema?

Why?

The garage...

The garage...

Out of the way

I'm going to kill you

Say hello...

Say: "hello"

She went mad this afternoon

I had to kill her

She never understood

In fact, I thought you were cleverer

But you've gone too far

Right, let me tell you what we're going to do

Hello, hello, testing, testing

Look at the camera, please

First I'm going to beat you up

For a while...

Then you'll faint and I'll wait till you come round

Then I'll cut your arms and legs

Then I'll mutilate you

I'm not sure how...

I'll decide as we go along

If I chop off your hand...

...l may put it on your head

Like a coronet

Those camp things are cool

Or I'll make you eat your ear and if I can...

...I'll take out your guts before you die

Terrifying, isn't it?

Look at me!

Terrifying, right?

When you're almost dead...

...I'll shoot you in the mouth

Then I'll chop you up and get rid of you

You did a really bad job on Castro

Right, then

We're ready

Don't move!

Don't move!

It's that hand...

I won't hurt you

That hand...

Tell me one thing

What colour are my eyes?

"Justice and the Law"

Good evening

When love, torture, death and money merge...

...we come across events such as the much publicised recent case

I refer to the case known as the "Snuff Girls"

Bosco was a nice, studious young man

A very normal kid, according to his friends and family

Buried in this ordinary garden...

...are bodies of six girls who've been missing since 1 993...

...including his own girl friend

This week, the police have found a number of snuff movies...

...and documents which incriminate Jorge Castro, professor of cinema...

... who was killed accidentally on the 3rd...

...as he was about to start a Snuff production

The police gives no further information about this case

This, for Spain, is the first occurence...

...of the tragic phenomenon known as "Snuff" movie

I couldn't come, I was hounded by the police

So was l

I saw you on TV

By the way...

I'm switching it off

Hey, this is the best part!

They obey me

How are you?

I'm getting out tomorrow

I've brought you something

"The Princess and the Dwarf"

I've got this edition

This one is dedicated

I don't have my glasses

The day I discovered the tunnels, I also found the cameras

And I took one

Why?

You know me, I'm a bastard

Punch me if you like

I don't like... Why don't you look at me

I don't want to

So I'll be off

Why?

Because

Go then

Good luck with the thesis

I've abandoned it

Can we watch TV now?

Grandad...

Can you read the dedication for me?

"First Edition, February 1 992..."

Just the dedication

"...popular poetry and prose collection"

"How about coffee?"

"No part of this work...

"...may be reproduced in any form, including..."

...in which reality and fiction combine to produce a horror story...

...beyond the capability of any rational mind

We can only wonder: how can anyone do that?

Is there really a public that demands and consumes...

... this genre of cinema?

Well, the long-awaited moment has arrived

As announced, our team has acquired...

...one of those macabre tapes

What you're about to see...

...is the actual scene of Vanessa being savagely tortured...

...and subjected to all types of atrocities, before being killed

Reluctant as we are to show this footage...

... we believe they're of interest to us all

The savage violence speaks for itself

Here it is:

"Warning :

"The images you are about to see are extremely violent

"Some spectators may find them offensive"
