- How many days now?
- Why think about that?

It would spoil the Ilttle
time we have left.

- Is it Ilttle, then?
- This time it is.

What I mean to say is...

...that time will be
completely ours someday.

Don't worry, Antonio,
I understand.

To think I never
ask you anything.

I've never wanted
to ask you anything.

That's proof of our love.

Never inquire about the
the mystery of the past...

...if we truly love our love.

But it is so difficult to be
strong in Ioneliness...

...and we meet so seldom.

Let us never abandon each other.

It would be Ilke dying.

Then, Iet us shut our eyes...

...and Ilve that dream.

I will keep them closed so my sou
doesn't escape from this dream.

Kiss me again, Antonio.

Mexicana Airlines
announces the departure of...

...flight 505 to Mexico City.
Passengers please board the aircraft.

There is nothing I can do, Antonio.

Everything between us is so brief.

Don't get rambunctious,
I'II write.

I'II be back on September 25.

Good-bye.

What? Are you moved?

It's strange, you've
become sentimentaI.

A serious defect in business.

Just don't tell me you're
falling in love now.

Stop it.

This is stronger than my will.

Antonio is different from the rest.

But don't worry, Nacho.

We said that nothing could
destroy our bond...

...except for ourselves.

Don't blame me.

l'm the one who is destroying it.

Neither of us
should have a past.

True.

But if you were ever
to hear about mine...

...you'd know I don't deserve you.

l don't want to go on
deceiving you...

...and I can't let you know the truth
l've been keeping from you, either.

Forget it.

Good-bye.

Come in, Jos�.

Here is my Ietter.

You shan't forget the instructions,
shall you?

Don't worry, Miss RaqueI.

As soon as that man comes
asking for you...

...I'II deliver him the Ietter.

And if he asks where you went...

Tell him you don't know anything.
Good night, Jos�.

Good night, miss.

And believe me, I am
going to miss you dearly.

So, ratifying our contract...

We'd Ilke you to send us your
approval as soon as possible.

Sincerely.

Mexico City.

September 25.

September 25.

This is the act from yesterday's
council for your approvaI, sir.

Let's Ieave it unti
I return from Guadalajara.

Good day, sir.
Everything is ready.

Here is your airplane ticket.

Thank you very much, Esteban.

I almost forgot
that you were coming.

Look out the window
across the street.

Yes, sir.

That sign they're putting up
...a perfume.

- Desire?
- Yes, desire.

Tell me, Esteban.

What does desire mean to you?

The word itself says it, sir.

It is what one Iongs for,
what one wants...

That is, what one desires.

Exactly.

But it's also a force that
makes you...

...that drives you to get
what you want...

...and to keep it if you
already have it, right?

Uh, yes, sir.

That force can grow, take on a shape,
become free, greater than you.

Then, it ends up destroying you.

And, what's worse,
destroying those close to you.

Helena?

Yes?

l want to say good-bye to you.

I have a surprise. I decided
to put off my trip to Guadalajara.

But, wasn't it urgent?

It is no Ionger necessary.

The matter I had to handle
I have solved definitively.

Yes. I'II be right over.

Good-bye.

My talk about desire
must have bewildered you.

But there was a purpose to it.

For a Iong time now...

...I've gotten the feeling
you desire to take a vacation..

Here.

Sir, me...on a plane...

I've never flown before in my Ilfe.

Flying without an airplane
would be dangerous, Esteban.

Miss, Iet's finish the dictation.
Come at once.

Wait for me outside.
We'II go home together.

Yes, sir.

Antonio, I was so happy
that you put off your trip.

Now...

Now, I am completely happy.

Come.

We're going to do a great
many things together.

We'II refurbish. We'I
pretty up the house.

Yes, Helena. Anything you want.

Look, finish the fountain.

It'II be ready Iong before
our anniversary.

Don't you think it'II be beautifuI?

Yes, very beautifuI.

Beautiful but incomplete.

What's the same as saying:
''Not so beautifuI''.

Nobody can say that something
incomplete Iacks in beauty.

Venus of Milo, for example.

True. And Schubert's
Incomplete Symphony.

Venus of Milo?

That's it! You got it.

That's what the fountain wil
need once it is finished.

Something Ilke the Venus...

...would be the best
anniversary present for me.

You're terrible.

Really.

Go to Demetrio's studio tomorrow
and pick out a nice sculpture.

Something in your taste.

AII right?

AII right.

Oh! The package of books
you ordered from the Ilbrary...

...is in your Iaboratory.

Doctor Vidaurri has arrived, madam.

I will be right there.

Helena.

Have you been feeling ill again?

It's nothing, darling.

The usual treatment.

I will call you as soon
as the meal is ready.

Raquel and I bade farewel
with our usual secret solitude.

Would we meet again?

Would that be the last time?

Or, would there be others?

Now I can answer
those questions.

After a terrible struggle,
l defeated desire.

Raquel...

...the woman she reincarnated...

...has been banned
from my life forever.

The kneeling goddess.

That's what Demetrio called her.

Although she is really
a simple woman on her knees...

...just Ilke all men
Ilke to see women.

What are you doing here?

Why are you talking that way?

I warned you that you would be
greatly disappointed...

...when you saw the real me.

You warned me?

Antonio, fancy meeting you here!

You've come to see her, haven't you?

Look, isn't she fabulous?

Yes, her name is quite adequate.

The Kneeling Goddess.

The name, it's my masterpiece!

Who told you that was it's name?

Mysterious voices in your studio
explain it all.

Look...such pureness in Ilnes.

Her torso is absolutely
classic...

...the outline of her Ieg is the
prettiest thing I've seen...

...and the whole form...

...is the consummation of
the most perfect equilibrium.

Difficult to surpass by anybody.

I've come to...

-...buy her from you.
- Buy her?

Naturally.

I wouldn't have expected Iess
from a connoisseur Ilke you.

It is a gift for Helena.

Nothing more fitting.

You are giving your wife
immortality.

That means that I am entitled...

...to a part of it.

How much does the whole
immortality cost?

Let's not discuss money now,
the subject makes me nauseous.

Tell me about her.

So, you have fallen in love.
That would be my greatest feat!

I made her to inspire love.

To bring about desire.

You fulfill your mission.

When I Iook at her
I feel Ilke I know her.

As if a distant evocation
had turned to marble.

Exactly!

That is how I felt
in Rome when I saw...

...the work of Michelangelo.

When may I send for her?

It's hard to say. She isn't
finished, though she seems to be.

I accept my blasphemy.
What is missing?

Everything.

The Iast strike of the chiseI.
The one that will give her Ilfe.

You'II have to wait
who knows how Iong.

A month, a year perhaps.

If it is Iess than a century,
please Iet me know...

...and send the receipt to my office.

Good-bye, Demetrio.

She's ready!

The receipt shall be ready tomorrow.

Do you usually buy status?

What do you mean by ''usually''?

Is it an addiction?

That's not what I meant.

It's just that he seems
Ilke a strange fellow.

No. Different.

Of course, not at all Ilke us.

What about her?

She's so fake and supernatura
you could call her a true wife.

Somewhat insufferable, of course.

Quite the opposite,
at Ieast for him.

He adores her.
He sees through her eyes.

Even when he Iooks at other women?

He would never do such a thing.

You'd be wasting your time.

Could be.

No, Antonio...

...this shows that we are trying
to flee from each other.

Don't blame me, RaqueI.

Sometimes what we do
is determined...

...by dark, secret impulses.

When I saw you again today...

...my memories suddenly
blended Ilke an avalanche.

Memories?

What good are words?

We have before us a reality
greater than all words.

We Ilve in different worlds.

That is our reality.

But we have met again...

...and we cannot
deny what it means.

Yes.

Our madness was to imagine
for a moment that we...

...could Ilve without the past.

Don't take away my right
to the one thing I've left.

My own future.

I'm not taking it from you.

I want to be a part of it.

Take me home, Antonio.

We'd better say good-bye here.

Good-bye.

There is nothing worse
than deceiving oneself.

All my struggle was in vain.

l understand that it is
stronger than l.

Madam shouldn't have come down.

Don't worry, I feel well.

Please reconsider,
the effort is too Iarge.

I shall have to make
Iarger efforts yet.

Antonio!

What are you doing here?

You shouldn't have come down
from your quarters.

The doctor forbade you to.

I'm the one who should reprimand you.

You haven't slept a wink.

I...had to finish an analysis.

Besides, that doesn't matter.

You haven't been taking
care of yourself Iately, Helena.

I'm the one who should be
taking care of you...

...although it may seem
Ilke a contradiction.

I get the feeling you're
in grave danger, Antonio.

It's your imagination.

The only way nothing
will happen to me...

...is knowing you are
in good health.

Rest assured, I am a Iot
stronger than you imagine.

Nobody will tear me apart from you.

Why do you say that?

Women always feel a threat
as it approaches.

You are surrounded by ghosts, shadows...

...and schemes that don't exist.

Love is never deceived!

I can see beyond your eyes.

Beyond your sleepless nights
and worries..

I don't want you to be alone.

I have decided to return
to the Rochester clinic.

What?

That is madness.

You cannot play games
with your health.

What matters is the health
of our love!

Stop insisting!

You could truly compromise it
if you stay.

AII right.

I will return to the clinic
after our anniversary.

There is always the risk
that it may be the Iast.

Maybe l'll find
a door out.

A determination.

The only one.

Although it may be the most
extreme and painful.

I am Ilke a man returning
from a storm, RaqueI.

I wandered hours on end
and didn't even notice.

Lonely and isolated, as if
were in a big, empty house.

I would have Ilked
to walk without stopping.

Not interrupting an escape that
suddenly seemed impossible to me.

Then, I decided to return,
do you understand?

Taking your shadow with me
was foolish...

...for I couldn't get away from it.

The image of you was everywhere.

Alive and terrible to despair.

You wanted it this way,
Antonio.

I tried to Ieave, but you
united our fates again.

Now you must have the courage
for your truth.

For the truth about both of us.

Either you are mine
or you destroy me.

There is no middle ground.

Because our love
speaks another Ianguage.

Wounded, it speaks of death.

Fire to cold,
and words to silence.

You must understand this Ianguage
with your own Ilfe.

I too either am yours
or destroy you.

With no middle ground, either.

And if we love each other
there shall be no before or after.

It shall be Ilke
the beginning of the world.

I have the strength for that love.

I swear.

Decide within yourself.

If you too have the strength,
go back to your wife...

...and tell her, for she will understand.

Is that your condition?

Yes.

Now, go. I'II wait.

No news, sir.
Nobody knows where she is.

But that's impossible.

Keep Iooking, she has to
be somewhere.

I'II be expecting your call.

Thank you.

Go ahead.

You must know your wife's
condition.

She is fragile, she has to
stay in bed and may not...

...Ieave her quarters
under any circumstance.

I'II be back
after midnight.

Antonio.

It's me, madam.

Have you any news, Esteban?

- Where is he?
- He's coming, madam.

He shan't be Iong.

Naturally.

He cannot be absent on our day.

I have to get ready.

Tell Maria to come up
and help me.

Madam, don't you think
it would be wiser...

...to wait for him here,
without such agitation?

That's madness!

Are you forgetting
that this is our anniversary?

It will be as always.

The same friends,
the same bliss.

Go on, tell Maria to come.

I'm sorry, Helena.

You're home now. I don't
want to hear anything.

- Good evening.
- How are you, Antonio?

Is the kneeling goddess there?

I waited for you in vain.

I came only to know the reason
of your determination.

Is it Iack of love or courage?

You will understand if
you allow me to explain.

And if it isn't too Iate
for an explanation.

Time doesn't count between us.

You know that.

That's what's so terrible.

I told you before, I wil
allow you no middle ground.

There will be no before or after.

You don't need an introduction.

It's obvious you immediately
recognized her.

The kneeling goddess.

Demetrio insists on saying
that nature copies art.

It's not my quote,
but it may as well be.

Everything is ready, madam.

Let us go to the dining room.

l got married...

...l got taken...

...l have fallen in the trap
set by the woman.

ln order to marry well,
you've got to be smart...

...you've got to be submissive
for the catch...

...but once you're married
you've got to show your temper.

For by then we must
not care about our husband.

When you get married,
find yourself a wife...

...that is elegant and very beautiful...

...because that way
all your life...

...you may have
a lot of time to lose.

And now, gentlemen...

...you can see for yourselves...

...what happens to the man
who searched for a wife.

l don't know what love is...

...l am ashamed to confess.

ln my arms you will know
why I am a professor....

lf I do not correspond...

...don't hold it against me.

My lovely little wife...

...you have a crystal soul.

l knew love once.

lt is very beautiful.

But for me it was brief and betraying.

At first it was glorious,
but later became despicable.

lts law is pleasure...

...for money.

Love...

...for you I drank my own tears.

Love, you were my cross, my religion.

Vengeance is fair, and in the meantime...

...let us live deceiving our hearts.

Love, for you I drank my own tears...

Love, you were my cross, my religion...

Vengeance is fair, and in the meantime...

Let us continue deceiving your hearts.

Let us continue deceiving our hearts..

To be happy and live
without a care...

...don't let your heart speak out.

You will live your life
oblivious to pain...

Better to enjoy it, better to laugh!

- For you
- For me.

- lt must be.
- The best.

Not to marry, not to marry.

Because, I believe we wil
enjoy love more...

... if we're not married, not married.

l won't get married, if I did
l would die...

Being single, that is
what I prefer...

For you, for me, for everybody,
it is best to forget about love.

l won't get married, if I did
l would die...

Being single, that is
what I prefer.

For you, for me, for everybody,
it is best to forget about love.

So, what are you? I am Panamanian...

...because through my veins runs...

...sensual blood.

So, what are you? I am Panamanian...

...from that garden of dreams
that is my Panama.

So, what are you? I am the owner...

...of the joy of my Panama.

Panama, tropical bliss...

RaqueI!

What's wrong? You are insufferable
these days.

The way that man drinks
is intolerable.

He hasn't been sober
since he arrived.

I think you've taken
this affair much too far.

You don't even know
what his true intentions are.

It seems strange that he should have
traveled thousands of kilometers...

...only to get drunk.

There's more than meets the eye.

Don't complain,
you've put it to good use.

But if he stays here,
he could get us into a mess.

We should get a good
indemnity out of him...

...and then send him off,
in all courtesy, of course.

It would be best...

...to send him off.

What do you want?

For everybody to drink up!

To the Iast drop.

Until there's nothing left.

No middle ground.

To extermination or to surrender.

You know what I mean, don't you?

Here.

Go get a taxi.

Go, what are you waiting for?

Antonio, when will you tel
me what brought you to Panama?

Tell me.

This man is mad.

He meant to kill you. We should
hand him over to the police.

No, I know what's wrong with him.

But he will bring us trouble.

The sooner we get away
from him, the better.

Your taxi is waiting, sir.

Go, take him to the hoteI.
I'II talk to him tomorrow.

Go ahead.

It's me, Antonio.
I came to say good-bye.

Wait for me, please.
I'II be right out.

I brought you your Ilghter.

You left it in the dressing room.

How do you feeI?

I'm fine now, thank you.

I must go, Antonio.

Wait, we have to talk!

No. I don't want to be
Iate for rehearsaI.

I'II see you at the night club.

Did you get the wire, young Mr. Arti?

What wire?

The one I just took to your room.

Oh, yes.

Here.

Figaro, Figaro, Figaro.

At Iast.

What a mess!

A woman wears so many clothes,
and I had to fix my bags myself.

I packed my stockings, my panties,
I packed my girdle, I packed...

So much...

The ship Ieaves at five a.m.

Sky and sea to open destiny.

To return to our free
and pilgriming existence.

Isn't this wonderfuI?

Good-bye.

Panama.

Nacho, I'm not going with you.

What?

You are joking. That's Ilke
throwing everything away.

I have always Ilved doing that.

We have always walked together.

It was our only bond.

Wandering senselessly.
Now, that is over.

What made you change so much?

This.

Aha!

So, then it wasn't natura
death, was it?

Did you his wife had died?

- Yes.
- Why did you hide it from me?

I thought it was best for us both.

From your perspective. Can you
grasp the meaning of that wire?

Yes. Her death under strange
circumstances means many things.

Do you mean to tell me that now...?

Yes. I have come to understand.
Antonio truly loves me.

I am not just a simple whim for him.

Now that he is free he comes to me.

He is free by his own hand.

Because, Ilsten to me, Nacho.

Antonio has killed for me.

You are so easy to deceive
by your own fabrications!

You made up a triumphant and
extraordinary world in your mind...

...where you are the goddess at whose
feet all sacrifices are consummated.

Don't be blinded by the
idea that he killed for you.

You don't know Antonio.

He is capable of any extreme act.

You won't always find a man
who behaves as I do.

Of course. Spite is blinding you.

Am I to blame for not Ioving you?

Maybe you're right.

RaqueI.

Today was the happiest
day of my Ilfe.

Try to understand, Nacho.

I may just be assuming things...

...but I found this
hidden in his Ilghter.

Cyanide?

There is enough poison here
to kill a horse.

Could it have been
intended for you?

I'm sorry.

You may be right.

It Iooks Ilke Antonio
poisoned her.

Isn't this irrefutable proof?

What do you think?

You know, Nacho?

It isn't my own love that
has me trapped anymore.

Now I must have the strength...

...to play out Antonio's fate
without fearing the consequences.

Our passion made me
his accomplice.

Be warned!

Our farewell number.

To be happy and live
without a care...

...do not allow your heart to speak.

You'll live your life
and never suffer...

lt is better to enjoy it, better to laugh!

- For you.
- For me.

- lt must be.
- The best.

Not to marry, not to marry.

l believe we wil
enjoy love more...

... if we're not married, do not married.

l will not get married,
if I did I would die...

Being single, that is
is what I prefer...

For you, for me, for us,
it is best to forget about love.

- For you.
- For me.

- lt must be.
- The best.

Not to marry, not to marry.

l believe we wil
enjoy love better...

... if we're not married, not married.

l will not get married,
if I did I would die...

...being single
is what I prefer.

For you, for me, for us,
it is best to forget about love.

l will not get married,
if I did, I would die...

...being single is what
l prefer.

For you, for me, for us,
it is best to forget about love.

Eleven thirty in my room.

So, what are you? I am Panamanian...

...because through my veins runs...

...sensual blood.

So, what are you?

Shall I come and serve?

I will do it myself.

- Happy year, sir.
- Yes, happy New Year.

Good evening, Antonio.

- Good evening.
- Did I keep you waiting?

I didn't mean to, I swear.

Just enough time to make the...

...kind of scenery you deserve.

Didn't Demetrio use to say ''The
perfect frame for a work of art''?

Demetrio... all that
is so distant, isn't it?

Yes, very distant.

Sometimes I think we have had to
wander such strange roads...

...just to get to the same point.

Everything has been so strange.

My presence here is also strange.

Maybe.

Why did you flee this morning?

What were you afraid of?

Of so many things.

A happy fear
I have not overcome.

That doesn't answer my question.

Why did you flee Ilke that?

I saw things differently.

I submitted myself to the...

...inevitable presence of your wife.

But now that I know everything
I have no reserves.

If you were capable
of killing for love...

...I too feel capable
of sharing your crime.

Here.

Now you shall have me
completely in your hands.

The fact is we are
in each other's hands.

I am also adrift.

I too destroyed
the rope behind me.

Would you rather I read it to you?

Everything depends on your
attitude after I read it.

You have to know what it says.

It's the honest thing to do.

They called on you because it is...

...presumed your wife
died of natural causes.

Your Iawyer seems
to foresee some difficulties

l was scared to give it to you.

l only opened it
because it was from her.

Such a difficult battle
to win your heart over.

How foolish. We are overlooking
that the year is dying.

The year has ended.

To those who are listening,
all sorts of happy wishes.

Joy and well being
for the living...

...and a memory full of gratitude
for who are no longer with us.

Joy and well being
for the Ilving, Antonio.

For us, the Ilving.

Thank you, sir.

Only unpack the things you need.

Why? Are we Ieaving right away?

Yes. We will be here
as briefly as possible.

I am so glad, Antonio!

Now I believe in our new Ilfe.

I have to Ieave you a few hours.

I need to see my Iawyer.

I'm certain the ticket
agency will call...

...to confirm the time of departure.

We will fly to New York at dawn.

New York, then to Europe.
We will get married in Italy.

I'II be right back.

Sir, I was expecting you
a Iot earlier.

Did you have a good trip, sir?

Yes, Esteban. Thank you.

Counselor Jim�nez
has called several times.

What did you say?

That Counselor Jim�nez
has been Iooking for you.

You wanted to rest.

I will arrange your
bedroom immediately.

Wait.

It seems as if...

...nothing has changed since then.

Who knows, sir.

It seems things never change
and they are always in their place.

But they are not the same.

They are Iacking in warmth.

They die, too.

Whole months without
Ilghting the fireplace.

Everything has become dul
and cold in this house, sir.

Counselor.

Just a minute.

What should I tell him?

I don't want to talk to him.

He asks you to excuse him...

...and to give me a message.

AII right.

I'II convey your message, counselor.

Good-bye.

Counselor Jim�nez said
he will be right over.

He wants to discuss some issues...

...concerning your Iate
wife's insurance.

Besides, he says it is urgent you
give the names of the witnesses...

...in order to apply
for your new marriage Ilcense.

God has granted me Ilfe
to contemplate such things.

What am I to do?

You regret it, don't you, Esteban?

Who am I to regret it, sir,
but a mere old...

...servant who knew your Iate wife...

...since she was
barely more than a child.

You cannot tell a heart
by Iooking at a face.

How can I know what is
going on inside your heart, sir?

You must have your reasons
for doing what you're doing.

Although I agree, that
Ioneliness is easy for no man.

For none.

There is no worse punishment
than Ioneliness, Esteban.

Don't go yet.

Stay a bit Ionger.

Talk to me about her.

I am afraid to sadden
you with my memories...

...which will also make me sad.

This fireplace...

...has aged so much...

...that it Iets
the smoke Ieak now.

You want memories, sir.

It is naturaI.

Your trip was meant
to help you get over this.

Wasn't it?

My trip!

It was Ilke trying to put out...

...a fire with a sea of fueI.

But...talk to me.

Tell me about her.

If you will excuse me,
she was a sweet, quiet child.

But inside she was stern
and full of willpower.

Why have you come?

Why are you Iooking at me that way?

Go away!

Don't repeat insults
you will regret Iater.

Now it is my turn to speak.

I don't want to hear it.
Especially not from you.

Of course.

It's Ilke hearing your own conscience.

But I don't want to make reproaches.

Did you forget I'm your best friend
in spite of everything?

What has happened with Antonio?

I don't want to give explanations.

I can handle it myself.

It takes a stubborn person.

I just want to help you as if
nothing had happened. Speak!

You can imagine what happened.

He left you.

I told you so.

Unfortunately, you were right.

I was blinded by the idea
that he killed for me.

Explain yourself.

He killed her.

But only due to a
fortunate mistake.

I was that person.

That creep.

How did it happen? Did he tell you?

He confessed it himself.

He was becoming very bitter.

Forget your sensitivity, try to
grasp what that confession means.

I don't understand.

You changed since you met him.

If he behaved poorly...

... why not pay him back with
his own medicine? I mean...

...charge him the harm done
in reaI, counting money.

After all,
it would be a fair pay-back.

I won't use your methods, Nacho.

AIlow me to use mine.

Oh, yours.

You are in no condition
of considering any methods.

You have behaved in a childish,
ridiculous way.

And I'm being kind with words.
I could use others.

You walked out on me in Panama...

...Ilke I was disposable
after my timely notification!

Now it turns our that you won't...

...take advantage of a
privileged situation.

Nobody said that.

But I claim my right
of doing it my way.

Naturally, we would be in...

...unsurpassable circumstances for the...

...creation of a chemica
industrial subsidiary.

The advantages of this perspective...

...are obvious to anybody.

We'd have access to more raw
material than up to now.

Excuse me, Mr. Ituarte.

There's a Iady who wants to see you.

How dare she interrupt?

I'm sorry, but... she says
she is your fianc�.

Hello, darling.

I'm sorry, I had to see you.

Imagine, I was just
at the insurance company.

There is an unacceptable clause
in the contract.

The company reserves the right to
perform an autopsy on me...

...if it is deemed necessary
to pay in case I should die.

Isn't that hideous?

Or perhaps I misunderstood it?

Aren't you going to introduce
me to your friends, Antonio?

Gentlemen...

Miss Raquel Serrano,
my fianc�.

Miss, at your service.

- Miss.
- Miss.

It is a pleasure.

Forgive my intrusion.

Believe me, it was involuntary.

I was outraged.

I'II go now.

You are all invited to
our wedding, of course.

Oh, certainly.

See you, Antonio.
I'II expect you for dinner.

Mr. Antonio...

...in the name of my associates,
and mine as well...

...our greatest congratulations.

And now, Mr. VillareaI...

...will read the project
presented by Mr. Ituarte...

...in regard to the creation
of a mercantile corporation...

...subsidiary of
Industrial ChemicaI, Limited.

''Project for the creation
of a Ilmited company...

...between Mr. Antonio Ituarte,
Mr. RafaeI...''

Autopsy!

Now he knows my secret,
he will use it to the end.

He will force me to marry him.

l am my wife's murderer.

To marry him!

lf they exhume her body
they will find evidence.

My wife's murderer.

There is no possible alternative.

Marry.

I declare in the name
of the Iaw and of society...

...that you are Iegally
joined in matrimony...

...with all the rights and
prerogatives granted by Iaw...

...and the obligations it implies.

Why do all my orders
seem to upset you?

I obey them, madam.

Yes, but against your will.

Tell me what's wrong. I'm Ilstening.

I wish I had told you
before you asked.

You have tried to obliterate Miss
Helena's memory from this house.

She is only a shadow now,
but it is stronger...

...than you, and will win in the end.

You mustn't forget it.

That is all.

Mrs. Ituarte.

The perfect frame
for a work of art.

More than a goddess. Now you can
say that you're at the peak.

Beauty, Iuxury, fortune.

What else can you ask of Ilfe?

That's what it comes
down to for you.

What else can it come down to?

I am acquainted with Ilfe.

Demetrio made a sculpture
of you. I made more.

I made a woman.

You are my best piece.

I sculpt Ilving flesh.

But then...

...that's not what
wanted to discuss with you.

Although I am very modest...

...even a man Ilke myself
needs certain fees.

Could you provide me with, say,
one hundred thousand pesos?

That would solve everything,
including my silence.

Please Nacho, try to
understand my position.

Mrs. Ituarte has the word.

I am Ilstening eagerly.

In that tone, Nacho...

...I don't know how to explain,
but things have changed.

Oh, I can tell, I can tell.

Ask me for anything but money.

I don't want to be a vulgar
crook in Antonio's eyes.

He would not understand.

I see you have changed,
and I congratulate you.

But although you consider
your husband's crime...

...a declaration of love,
for me it is still a blank check.

The facts are brutaI, but...

...they are the facts.

I know your pride is hurt.

I've told you it isn't my fault.

If you want vengeance, go ahead.

I am determined to everything,
I have my own weapons.

AII right.

Is this your way of ending it?

Yes, this is my way of ending it.

Speak RaqueI, tell me everything.

Take me out of this
horrible nightmare.

It was more than that, Antonio.
Worse than hell...

...was the risk of you
having a bad image of me.

But, when you went to say
good-bye to me...

...I realized in an instant
that you loved me.

That you had never
stopped Ioving me.

And giving up that wonderfu
truth was impossible.

I was about to believe that you...

...would never utter these words.

It is clear that we are
united by something indestructible.

Something beyond ourselves.

We cannot turn back now, RaqueI.

We shall go together to salvation...

...or to death.

I will help you dissipate
the shadows that bind you.

As terrible as our sin may be...

...we have a right
to our piece of heaven.

Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Ituarte.

Upon your arrival in New York...

...your funds will be available.

- Thank you, counselor.
- Have a good trip.

- Mr. Antonio Ituarte?
- Yes.

You cannot Ieave the city,
there is a warrant.

How is that?

I am his Iawyer.
Please explain.

It is a court order.

On grounds of murdering his wife.

That is insane!

Calm down.

I will immediately apply
a recourse and post baiI.

This can only be a maneuver
based on interest.

It is not so easy to get
rid of a willing shadow.

- What did you say?
- Oh, nothing.

I was thinking of stalking you.

You may rest assured that everything
will be settled satisfactorily.

Noting matters if we are
together.

I swear he is innocent!

Can you give us objective
information on his behalf?

Material facts; no.

Like I can't prove that you
are a murderer either, Officer.

Antonio did not kill.

Nobody who truly loves
could be a criminaI.

Your words couldn't be
more touching..

...but they are completely worthless.

I ask you to strike her statement...

... due to Iack of grounds,
from the offender's wife.

In any case, she could turn
out to be an accomplice...

...if I can prove it, as I hope I will.

I wouldn't care if I were.
He is innocent!

Based on the charges, I ask
the body to be exhumed...

...and an autopsy to be performed.

This document ratifies
Dr. Vidaurri's certificate.

The forensic doctors commissioned
by the District Attorney...

...render the following statement:

One.

No evidence at all was found...

...that Mrs. Ituarte was poisoned.

Two.

Cardiac collatera
hypertrophy was found.

And three.

Mrs. Helena G. Ituarte
died of a sudden rupture...

...of an aortic aneurysm.

In order to confirm the
facts, I'd Ilke to...

-...call one Iast testimony.
- Granted.

Although the doctor forbade it,
she joined the party downstairs.

When all the guests parted...

...except for Mrs. Raquel and
her companion, who had...

...been called by Dr. Vidaurri,
my Miss Helena left the room...

...in a sudden manner
and seemed to be very nervous.

Very nervous.

Your mission is over in this house.
You are dismissed.

Let us go, Demetrio!

Good night, madam.

It Iooked Ilke she was
about to faint again.

As if she didn't have the
strength to hold on to it...

...the content of her glass
spilt on the carpet.

Esteban.

Call my husband.

I didn't have to call him,
he arrived at that moment.

Naturally, I retired
as not to be indiscreet.

Antonio!

You are free now, Antonio.

Faith in our love
has saved us.

The strength of our love
produced a miracle.

You didn't kill her, Antonio, no.

She died her own death.

No shadow will ever come
between us. Never.

Nobody has been able to untie us!

The night is gone forever, Antonio.

Antonio!

Antonio!

Antonio!
