"Where the hell have you been hiding?" "If you expect to see me in the alcove you're mistaken" "You've seen the telegram, my husband will be here tomorrow." "Just imagine how happy I am" "I couldn't care less if you don't want to say goodbye." "Grab your things and beat it" "You idiot, what are you doing?" "Where did you find those clothes?" "Have you been going through my drawers again?" "You'll always be a clown, but you know, it won't do you any good" "What did you expect, to stay here your whole life?" "You came to my door on a rainy night, you were like a dog shivering in the cold" "I took you in out of pity and now you've been here two weeks, but now it's over" "In 20 minutes a train is coming by, take it!" "It isn't much, but you're not worth more" "What do you have in the backpack?" "Open it" "Didn't you hear me?" "Open it" "The Corruption Of Chris Miller" " Good afternoon Mrs. Miller" " Good afternoon" "Finally, a nice day." "Goodbye" "I don't think I'll ever finish these designs," "I can only work in London" "Without a deadline or nervousness I become a lazy person, maybe that's why I don't want to go back" " Give me the letter" " What letter?" "You're always in the garden waiting for the mailman so I won't find out who writes to us You think I haven't noticed?" "They're over there, I didn't even open them" "I saw how you put one in your purse" " You mean this one?" " Give it to me!" "You're convinced it's from your father." "Could you believe me if I said it wasn't from him?" "I prefer to see for myself" "If you're so mistrustful why don't you open it?" "Don't you dare?" "I don't care what it says" "Forgive me Chris, sometimes I'm not considerate," " I forget you're sick" " I'm sure that you never forget it" "We must stay united." "We're alone, you and I" "Don't keep waiting, your father won't write you." "We most likely won't hear from him again" "He left you, not me!" "I know he'll write to me" "You can't help it, right?" "The rain still frightens you" "What does the letter say?" "The reports don't indicate much progress but little by little you'll get well" "Must I go back there?" "No, this place is ideal." "An orderly life, peace and quiet..." "And boredom" "We'll stay until autumn." "Before going back to London we could go to Rome for a few days, or Paris." "Wouldn't you like that?" " I should have stayed in the clinic" " Why?" "I'm sure that my father went there looking for me" "Don't you think they would have told us?" "Ruth, why do you take care of me?" " Why do you think I do it?" " I really don't know" "When I saw you for the first time you were only 10 years old, you held on to your father so you wouldn't fall off his motorcycle" "One pothole and he would've have lost you on any road without noticing" "Now he's let both of us fall" "It will soon be a year since he left" "You think of him a lot?" "You have the same eyes, the same mouth..." "I'm sure you remember him every night, at least to hate him" "You keep me here hoping he'll return" "How many times will I have to say it, your father will never come back" "Doesn't it scare you to be left alone with me?" "You couldn't hurt me." "Perhaps you could hurt a man, but not me" "Man doesn't love, he possesses" "He invades us suddenly, he wounds us, he does it always with violence and cruelty" "Goodnight Chris" "Ruth... even if you hear me call you, don't come tonight" "Sleep well" "Ruth!" "Please!" "Come!" "Chris!" "Enough Chris!" "Don't be afraid" "Give me the knife, give me the knife Chris!" "There's no one here, just me, give it to me" "Don't be afraid, there's no one, just me" "Now rest, I'll stay with you." "Rest" "Hello, how are you doing today?" "Who are you?" "What are you doing here?" "I don't want vagrants in my house, take your things and leave." "I said leave!" "Don't yell." "I like waking up little by little" "If you don't leave I'll have to call my husband" "Why are you getting so worked up, I haven't done anything wrong yet" "Listen,I got lost last night when it started raining, it was late and I didn't want to wake you" "Do you want me to call the police?" "First you were going to call your husband, now the police" "What's the matter, don't you trust your husband anymore?" "Alright, alright" "My name is Barney Webster, it's a pleasure to meet you" "I'll give you five minutes" "Alright, I'm leaving." "I suppose you didn't call the police" " Not yet" " If I've bothered you, forgive me" "Goodbye" "I'm making coffee, would you like a cup?" "Why not?" "Is this your house or is it rented?" " It's mine" " It's not bad" "If you want some ham and eggs go on and make them" "Yes, thank you" " Have you been in Spain long?" " 4 or 5 months, maybe 6," "I don't remember well" " Where are you headed?" " No particular place, just from one point to another." "I've just come from some place where all it did is rain" "They told me I'd have a good time here, so I took the train, but it rains just the same" "What do you do?" "I study anthropology, human beings interest me" "Too many?" "Luis..." "Luis?" "I'm glad to see you" "Forgive me for coming into your house, I called you from the garden" "Don't tell me you've never been in here?" "My god" "Then let me show you my ancestors' art collection" "Poussin, Lorena," "Valdés Leal, and here, the family jewel, Tiepolo!" "As much as you might call, no one answers, you know how service is nowadays" "Things change" "I'm sorry" "I do the impossible to maintain my stables" " How many horses do you have now?" " Only eight, and two colts" "It's lovely" "When I'm with them it's as if nothing had changed, my father lives, the horses" "When I go inside I feel completely alone" " Will you go back to Switzerland?" " Not at the moment" " Have fun!" " Thank you" "That breakfast was..." "Don't you have anyone to help you around the house?" "No" "Are you that exaggerated in everything you do?" "Yes, more or less" "And your husband, will he be back soon?" "No, not at the moment" "Far from your country and without work, how do you survive?" "Do I look that shabby?" "No" "Something always comes up to keep you going." " Do you have a job for me?" " It's possible" "You know, it's been a while since I've had this good a breakfast" "Is there more coffee?" "I bet you don't know what I thought when I woke up and saw you in the hayloft" "What?" "I hope this woman has the same idea I do" "Hey, not so many" "And you, what did you think?" "Were you frightened?" "I'm not easily frightened" " Are you done?" " Yes, and thank you" "My daughter is out for a walk, when she comes back you'll be gone, understand?" "Ruth!" "Ruth?" "There's a man in the garden, he's chopping wood" "I told you to leave!" "Your breakfast is over, go away!" "How can I leave after something so stupendous?" "I liked the ham and eggs, and the coffee, but it's still not enough" "Your stepdaughter?" "You can't stay here any longer" "You know, when I'm old and women won't give me the time of day..." "I'll have a car like this, with a chaffeur in uniform" "If you think you're going to dominate me you're completely mistaken" "You're the one who dominates me." "I'll do anything you want" "I have enough problems, you have to leave" "Not a soul comes by here, who's going to find out?" "I can help you resolve those problems" "The drip in the thatching is fixed," "I've painted the gate, the wood is split and the lawn is mown" " Is something missing?" " That's enough for today, rest" "Bored?" "What's for dinner?" "It's getting late for you Chris" "I've prepared a bed for you in the attic, I hope you're comfortable" "Why did you bother?" "I slept very well in the hay last night" "Ruth prefers you be in the house, isn't that right Ruth?" "You're tired, why don't you go up to your room?" " I'm not tired" " I am, very much" "Thank you Chris, if it were necessary I'd take care of you too" "I'm sure" "That song, I used to sing it in school over a thousand years ago" "Haven't you noticed how erotic children's songs and stories are?" "That's nonsense, there's nothing erotic about them" "Father thought so too, he'd do a version of Little Red Riding Hood with dolls," " remember?" " Your father was always quite absurd" "Grandmother and the Wolf had an understanding, but it was never enough for the Wolf" "And that's why he seduced Little Red Riding Hood so well" "And then the Grandmother killed them both" "Chris, please" "What are a couple of women like you doing locked up in this house?" "Just like you see, nothing." "Ruth draws, I sunbathe and go riding" "To have fun we spy a bit, isn't that right Ruth?" "Cut it out Chris" "We're always waiting for someone who never arrives without knowing if we love or hate one another," " and at night" " Enough!" "Go up to your room" "With him?" "Do you want me to go up there with him?" "I know why you want him to stay" "If you want to try me out then have him come up, but let him know what he's getting into" " I see you two have a grand time" " Help me close the windows please" "There's only one key for all the locks?" "Yes" "Not even a ghost could escape this place" "Several years ago... a peasant... was locked in" "When we came back in the summer he was dead, he couldn't get out" "I can't stand you any longer, goodbye" " What does it mean?" " Can't you tell?" " A goodbye" " Your husband?" " My husband" " And you read it every night" "I met him when he was traveling through the towns in Surrey with his puppet theater" "He had already left his first wife, he was just a stray" "Like me?" "We have a special charm, don't we?" "I taught him how to dress, how to eat, how to behave like a civilized man," " and after eight years..." " I can't stand you any longer, goodbye" " He wasn't well domesticated" " You're all the same, despicable, small-minded and cruel" "I've learned what you're like and now I know how to defend myself" "He left me sleeping right here with that stupid smile one wears after making love" "He took all the money, travelers checks, credit cards, but what he didn't find what he was really after, it's very well hidden" "He was never too clever, my husband..." "And you?" " I fend for myself as best I can" " He left me with his daughter" "Sooner or later he'll come looking for her" "And when he returns?" "He'll find her quite changed, we'll be at peace that way" "Come over here" "You're ambitious, good looking and without any scruples" "I can't complain" " My daughter is attractive, isn't she?" " Very" "Her door is never closed" "What did she want to keep me from?" "Why don't you find out for yourself?" "Sometimes at night when it rains she has nightmares and calls me, next time why don't you go?" "I think I'm going to have fun here" "We can all have fun" " Good day" " Good day sir" "Give me those letters" "Give them to me" "I tell you to give them to me, do you hear me?" "Let me go" "Night club singer brutally murdered 7th victim,killer still at large" "Look, Louis" " Hey!" " Hello!" "Come on, here, take it" " Hello" " Hello" " Come closer, do you want some?" " No thank you" "We've been meaning to drop by for a few weeks, but with all this rain, we've become very lazy" "Do you know what we could do?" "On our way back we could go out of our way a few kilometres and pay Mrs. Miller a visit." "Let's see..." " Do you want one of these?" " Oh, thank you!" "Watch, you press here and it plays the drum" "Chris, that young man, who is he?" "Mrs. Miller's favorite nephew" " I'll take them both" " Yes, of course" "What did you do to these bills?" "Did you nail them down so they wouldn't fly away?" "This is for you" "Goodbye Chris, I'm glad you're so much better" "Thank you" "About visiting Mrs. Miller," " were you serious?" " That's what we agreed on, right?" "Keep still" " Hey, careful, don't fall." "Goodbye" " Goodbye" " Shall we go?" " I don't want to go home yet" " and I won't go until he's left" " Well, then let's go for a stroll" "We can go through there" "Could you show me the bill that young man gave you?" "Yes" "What for?" "Surely many of you saw this spectacle and the majority of you are sure to remember this song because who doesn't remember Pearl?" "Luck and charisma led her to become the Queen of the Musicals at the end of the 50s, introducing songs that would become famous." "Remember this one?" "She is no longer among us, but we can relive her moments of success and happiness, like the day she welcomed her legions of fans into her new home, the splendid property she retired away to at the end of the 60s," "when she was still in full glory and popularity." "Her brutal murder has moved and outraged the public." "We, in homage to her memory, would like to present some of the songs that were the greatest hits of her career, which is now cruelly and terminally over." "To say goodbye to her memory, let's watch the number that made her world-famous:" "Charlie" "He didn't want to accept it, but the little one insisted so much" " And who's going to kill it?" " You are, naturally" " Why me?" " I can't kill an animal," " it disgusts me" " But you eat them" "That's different." "He's very afraid, why don't we let him go" "He couldn't live in freedom, he'll have an easier death here" "Finish it then" "Were you scared?" "We should always be, you never know when something might happen, and when it happens, everything changes suddenly" "You know, I've known lots of girls," " but none of them was like you" " And Ruth?" "Why have you stayed with us?" "It doesn't matter, what matters is that you're here, and I'd like to guess what might happen to me" " Chris, is Barney with you?" " No" "Let me go, let me go!" "When I leave... come with me" "I'll get my wish,If I arrive at 5 floors" "And what's that, another guitar, a pair of boots?" "Don't worry, very few see their wishes granted" "I expect I will" "Chris, would you mind coming with me to the basement?" "Help me find the sketches I made for Giselle three years ago, they must be in these folders" "It's been centuries since I've been down here" "Chris, that boy is just passing through, he could leave any day" "Are you worried for yourself or for me?" "We don't know anything about him, if I were you I wouldn't get too attached, it could be dangerous for you" " Barney" " I was about to go to sleep, I'm tired" "You stayed here under certain conditions, remember?" "Yes" "Go down to the basement to help Chris, would you?" " Help her with what?" " Go help her" "Ruth!" "Come, please!" "Ruth!" "Help me!" "Please!" "Ruth!" "Help me!" "Please!" "Please!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Come here!" "Ruth!" "Out!" "Leave at once!" "Get your things and leave!" "What the hell is wrong with you this time?" "What did you expect would happen?" "Do you know she tried to kill me and fainted?" "Shut up!" "Leave this house!" "Where do you want me to go, it's pouring!" "Leave now!" "You won't shoot," " you said you were crazy about me" " Out!" " Out!" " Alright, I'm leaving" "You're crazy!" "You're hysterical!" "Next time sleep with someone your own age!" "I felt like vomitting in your bed!" "You're the worst slut that's ever thrown herself at me!" "I'm not surprised your husband left, I hope you rot in there!" "Chris, he's gone" "We're alone again" "Pedro, it's your turn, I left the light on" "Coming" " Tin, are you in bed?" " Yes" " Have you spoken with Maria?" " No" "Then she still hasn't told you anything" "About what?" "Pedro and Maria want to go away this summer" " Good night" " Rest well" "Good night dear" "There's a monk outside" "How many times do I have to tell you not to open the door without knocking first?" "He's a very tall monk, he's getting soaked" "Alright, tell him to come in until it stops raining" " Can I open the door for a monk?" " A monk?" "Of course, why not?" "We can't leave the poor man in the rain" "Some window must've gotten open" "Ernesto!" " Did you hear that?" " Mother?" "Come with me" "We'll wait for the judge" " Hello Mr. Commissioner" " Hello" "Would you come with me?" "Mr. Commissioner, how many victims have they found?" "Five, the entire family" "In five years and a radius of 100 km there have been 6 similar crimes committed, do you think it's the same person responsible?" "There's no possible doubt," " and he's here, in this city" " What do you base that on?" "There have been torn, bloodstained bills circulating in the region, that put us on the trail" "Is there truth to the rumors of the arrests of young vagabonds with backpacks and guitars?" "A vagabond with a backpack and guitar was always seen close to the places where the crimes were committed, we've carried out more than 200 arrests but I don't expect any positive results" "The mobile team was at the scene of the crime yesterday, the Commissioner in charge of the case was interviewed by our special correspondent" "In five years and a radius of 100 km there have been 6 similar crimes committed, do you think it's the same person responsible?" "There's no possible doubt, and he's here, in this city" "The Commissioner's answer is of great importance, let's hear what he bases his conclusion on" "There have been torn, bloodstained bills circulating in the region" "However, the Commissioner later confirmed that in spite of the arrests of numerous suspects they had still not arrived at any positive results" "On the other hand, it's evident that the family dog, who still awaits the impossible return of his masters, did not realize to sound the alarm or chase the criminal off" "Could that mean that the murderer was someone who belonged to the circle of friends or family of the victims and the dog knew him?" "In any case, the crime of the farm, as it is now unfortunately known, is in the first stages of national attention" "The whole country is rightly shocked at the bloodstained spectacle and outraged at this merciless criminal act" "It was one of the workers at the farm who raised the alarm and the police and sanitary forces were immediately mobilized." "Our cameras were also there to give witness to the sad happenings." "The images are sufficiently eloquent in thier pathos" "Let's hear the declarations of the special Commissioner in charge of the investigation And the motive?" "Money, the criminal could have satisfied himself with robbery, but death excites him" "He is now incapable of resisting the urge to kill and will continue to do so" "Is the killer a madman?" "This is a question many people ask themselves, not just here when the criminal has acted with sad frequency, but in all the country" "Let's hear the opinion of an expert, Professor Godot" "Not exactly." "When we catch him we'll see that he has the classic chromosonal anomalies" "The duplication of the Y chromosome causes criminal tendencies" "The Boston Strangler had double Y chromosomes, Manson does too, and the student that machine gunned his companions on campus" "Don't think about him any longer, he must be far from here by now" "Yes." "He asked me to go with him" " Poor Chris." " He was like any other man" "Perhaps we'd all be capable of killing" "Try to rest, do you want me to stay with you?" "No." "Good night" " What's going on?" " Don't yell!" " He's back, he's in the house" " What?" "We're trapped, everything's closed, the windows, the doors" "But" "He's in the library, there must be a way to escape from here" " But he'll see us" " Chris, there's one possibility" " Go down, you have to go down" " Me?" " You have to bring him here" " I can't Ruth, you know I can't" "You can, I wouldn't ask you if it weren't necessary" "While you're with him I could escape" " and look for someone to help us!" " I knew it, you've always wanted to destroy me, destroy me to get back at my father" "He's crazy, he'll kill us, do you want to die?" "Yes, yes!" "Don't make noise!" "He's crazy, don't you understand?" "Completely crazy" "He'll do whatever he wants with you even if you resist and then he'll kill you Remember what he did at the farm" "You have to distract him and above all be sure not to let him know you suspect him" "The first time I saw you I thought" ""I'd like to make love to her"" " And Ruth?" " I suppose she's asleep" " Why have you come back?" " To steal and for you" "You left, and you had promised to take me with you" "Don't be scared" "Don't be afraid" "Why?" "It's all over Chris, do you hear me?" "It's over" "We have to call the police, he attacked us and we had to defend ourselves" "Chris,he attacked us,remember that" "He attacked us!" "I'll go and find the keys" "Open the gate while I bring the car out" "They've caught the criminal, they've caught him now!" "Why do they yell so much?" "I needed money to take care of my horses" "Let's go" "Then..." " who did we kill?" " And why?" "He had just been released from jail" "He knew your father, now I understand everything, he sent him!" " Maybe he came looking for me" " He didn't come for you, this is what he was looking for!" "You don't matter to your father at all, he would have left you to rot at the clinic without lifting a finger!" "Barney wanted me to leave with him, maybe he really wanted that" "You know what they really want, it's always the same, always!" "Ruth, I think..." "I'm leaving" " Where?" " Anywhere, it rains too much here" "I don't want to see you again" "But... you're sick, who's going to take care of you?" " You need me" " You've won Ruth, you've beaten me" "Don't say that, please, don't say it" "Your father hurt me badly, you don't know how much I hated him" "It's true, I wanted to destroy you, corrupt you, it was the only way to hurt him, but now I don't detest him." "I feel so alone Chris" "I need you, I need you just as much as you need me" "Too bad for you" "Chris, we've killed a man, the two of us, we've killed a man" "I'll try not to suffer because of it, I promise" "If you leave me I'll go to the police," "I'll tell them everything that happened" "You won't go, and you know it" "Chris, I can't stand solitude." "Please, don't go, don't go" "It would be amusing if in the end I was the stronger one" "What will we do with him?" "We'll wait until nightfall" " Do you think they'll find out?" " We'll know soon enough" "Translation:" "Turdis June 2010"
