"Are you getting out?" "Oh no, please, I'm nervous." "No matter what happens to you, you always have me." "Hm?" "Now... don't toil yourself" "Not now, not here..." "I'm gonna check if she's awake." "Or if she's dead" "You're a monster!" "Mother?" "Leave it!" "LEAVE IT!" "At last you came back, Laura" "What time is it?" "It's night, mom." "You should be sleeping" "I don't want to sleep Laura" "I want to know who came with you" "I'm lucky that I'm all alone." "When my friends asked me about you, I didn't know what to say." "But your friends don't come to visit you anymore." "Enough, go to sleep You have to sleep" "I want to hear her" "I' not like (?" ") I'm not fed up by my mother" "My mother is alive here, with me" "For me, you are alive too" "What was that?" "Don't lie to me!" "Theres nobody here, mother" "Promise me Laura" "Laura, promise me one more thing" "That when I'm dead" "You will sell this house" "Rest, mom" "I'm Carlo Mangioli How was your trip?" "Great, perfect, thanks" "It's ten to two already" "What do we do now?" "Go to a hotel?" "Are you tired?" "No no I'm not tired I want to see the painting now" "There's no hurry, we can go tomorrow, or later" "No, I would like to do it now, mister..." "Carlos, call me Carlos" "Carlos, ok, Carlos, I'd prefer to go now because I want to know if I want to do this or shall I go back to Paris tomorrow morning" "It's okay, let's go" "They only told me your name" "The last crazy one who knows everything about Bax's work" "That's what they told you, yes?" "No, they didn't mention "crazy"" "They didn't tell me everything" "But everybody told me that no one knows more about Bax than you" "I don't know everything" "How much could it be worth?" "If it's authentic, a lot." "And what do you think?" "It would be absurd if the family of Leticia Fieux presented to me fake Bax" "It would be absurd and pitiful" "The painting is in my wife's possesion she's granddaughter of Leticia" "Of course, we have our needs and obligations and plans also" "A painting could be woth much or nothing, it depends for Bax it was of big importance he wrote it in a letter to a friend in Paris" "and he painted Leticia" "No, there is no woman in the painting it's not exactly a portrait" "It must be interesting to live here" "Nobody lives here anymore" "It's a pity" "What a romantic are you!" "The painting is in this room" "It's also here" "Yes, it does seems so." "But these doors are not in the room" "Excuse me?" "The door." "Yes, indeed." "There was some repainting done" "Maybe, I don't know." "When I saw it first time, Leticia was no longer there." "Look at the signature." "Bax?" "It's obviously Bax." "No mistake." "Bax." " Why hesitate?" " Let's suppose it's Bax" "I thought that you'd buy the picture yourself" "Why?" "I don't know... maybe 'cause of its value?" "Yet, I have doubts." "Leticia is not in the picture And the signature... it's not enough." "I would like to examine the painting." "Can I take it with me?" "To the hotel?" "No, to the museum, use proffesional equipment." " Good evening." "I'm Laura Canetti." "Can you leave us for a moment?" "Of course miss Canetti.." "Excuse me, I was examining the painting." "If you want, we can talk French." "Yes, please." "It's not worth much, am I right?" "You're an expert, right?" "You should know how much you could earn." "I don't know yet." "This canvas needs some work." "It would be great if the painting is worth so much you could say Miss Canetti - you earned a million." "But... why does one need a million?" "Who doesn't want a million?" "I'll explain it to you." "Want a cigarette?" "You heard I am an architect, right?" "You've seen my house." "I inherited it and I want to turn it into very expensive gym" "Thank you." "Well, the matter is in progess." "Carlos handles the advertising, but we need a little push" "And this is what I expect to get from the painting, which means - from you." "I'm gonna use all my power to satisfy you." "I can do it by myself." "I'll let you do your work." "We will call you for dinner." "I would like to move into the house." "To the exact same room Bax used for painting." " I don't have..." " Wait... what do you expect to find?" "source of inspiration?" "Or ghosts?" "Why not both?" "Waiter?" "Another bottle, please" "I'm too tired." "I have to get up at seven" "So no taco for us?" "No." "I'm very fond of luxury, but I know my limits." "You going with me?" "No." "I'm sleepy too, but I'll stay." "Have fun then." "Don't drink too much." "He seemed upset." "Yes, he is." "But don't worry, it's not a big deal." "Tell me about..." "Bax and Leticia." "They met in Paris." "What a place to meet" "Then Leticia went for a journey through South America and Bax followed her." "He loved her madly." "He was mad about everything." "And later..." "Buenos Aires" "And here." "Yes" "Lecitia found herself a "protector", very rich man whose name was Rafael Braun" "He was my grandfather." "I didn't know my grandparents, but my mother told me a lot about grandma Leticia" "My mom loved her." "You know anything more?" "Bax was a mysterious man." "One time. he confessed to a friend that he is painting Leticia" "Bax and Lecitia were probably lovers." "I'm not sure if that is true." "But I'm sure he loved her." "Like crazy?" "Like crazy." "Good evening, Mother Night." "Don't be foolish." "You had a nice chat?" "Yes, about some basic things." "What do you mean?" "Hm?" "How can I not be jealous?" "He's an artist and he's from Paris." "He's going to stay at the house to examine the painting" "And if he finds anything we're gonna get a load of money" "Not now, please" "I want to see her" "During the play." "No, face to face." "Let's go Leticia" "You can come too, Bax" "What a wonderful performance." "You are a great singer." "General Rodriguez..." "Find youself a date." "But he's a cockroach!" "Allow me to introduce, Capitan Agosti and Miss Leticia Fieux." "It's an honour." "You're like a godess!" "Why you're here alone?" "I like to stand in corners." "as much as I like cockroaches." "Handsome or not..for a man it's not important." "Tell it to my mom." "Miss Leticia." "I'm sorry.." "The best pictures are form UBA." "Comedies, dramas..." "Tell me more about it." "You like birds?" "I would like to give you one from Galandia." "It's sings beautifully." "But still, it can't compare with you." "What is it more to cinema than theatre?" "Fake lights?" "Cut-off moment?" "The goal of this trick is to disclose the sould, Bax." "The soul, indeed." "Water with honey?" "Yes." "You have sensitive throat, dear." "It's no good to drive a colt to war so soon" "The humidity of Buenos Aires is bad..." "Drink slowly." "Capri, the famous Capri... it is..." "See, she's never seen the Sun Her skin is night-blooming." "You think she would make a good model?" "Just look, a pleased Bax." "You know how to please your guests." "This is Juan Bax." "A great painter." "More valued in Europa than in his motherland." "Gentlemen, let's play." "He's no good for you." "You could leave him." "Don't you dare to insist" "I won't" "Calm down my dear, don't forget your weakneses." "What can I do to make you happy?" "Rafael, you are a busy man." "Have an open credit to play." "Wish you luck, Amelia." "Do you play cards?" "Maybe billiards?" "Don't you want to challenge Bax?" "I would like to paint a general." "In a formal uniform?" "Where are you going?" "Walk home with me." "My boss forbids..." "Leticia is excellent at billards, but she needs to rest." "Don't look at me this way..." "No!" "What's going on there?" "!" "Sorry, I didn't know you were here." "I should be sorry, I'm working late without your permission." "You can work as long as you like." "You need anything?" "No, thanks." "What time it is?" "Midday." "Let me invite you for a breakfast or..." "lunch" "Thanks, but no." "Carlos is waiting for me in the car." "Maybe this evening?" "Also no." "Could you stay to see the painting?" "Not now." "Just one moment..." "Thank you, but I already told you I can't." "Maybe you'll come the other day?" "Of course." "I'll call you later." "A house with..." "With a private theatre." "A private theatre?" "And why not...a peculiar residence Built by amateur eccentrics" "I know one which had fountains inside" "Yes, triumphal arch and a roman temple." "How do you know?" "You told me, Mister." "But it's not the one I'm looking for." "You are looking for the one with private theatre?" "I already know that." "But it was a great theatre, a big one." "Leticia Fieux performed there in 77' or 78'" "This could have been any famous singer." "As well as everyone would like to sing at Colon [Teatro Colon - opera house in Buenos Aires]" "They come, they sing, they go." "The one you told me about..." "Leticia Fieux (Fiume?" "strange accent)" "This one stayed and married mister..." "Brown?" "Yes, Braun." "A tyrant, whu cut her career." "Poor, poor woman." "Seems like he kept her as a prisoner." "If I remember well." "I have a book with pictures of their house." "Mirta!" "In this collection bought from a widow in Salerno, there is a volume red-binded volume" "I hope it's not broken." "The humidity is terrible." "As I thought, there was a theatre in Braun's residence." "It was burnt to the ground in 1929." "What a disaster, no?" "What would I do if my books burned?" "Because a library is like a temple of memory" "That's what I was looking for." "How much does it cost?" "50 dollars." "Can't sell it for less." "I'll pay." "We'll pack it for you." "If you ever need anything, call me." "What happened to you?" "An accident." "Good morning, Mr. Bax." "Yes, I know, Mr. Brown does not think of heating in servants' room." "Go away!" "You should know your pose." "Take this off." "My throat hurts and I won't be able to sing this evening." "Would you sing for the rabble like the other night?" "It won't be windy anymore, my darling" "Take this off." "Don't move." "I would like some music." "Play me something." "And bring me hot chocolate." "Ask for it yourself in the kitchen." "Pay her and she'll go away." "Excuse me, Miss Dickens." "I had a horrible sleep." "I dreamt I murdered a woman." "Could you be so kind and make me some hot chocolate?" "With pleasure." "Woul you sing to flatter an illiterate?" "Why are you so proud?" "You think you're better than Braun and his friends?" "We are wild animals." "We should have children" "I'm returning to my career in short time." "And going back to Europe." "With him?" "Yes." "We're getting married" "Aren't you afraid?" "I love him." "It's a lie." "Braun loves me." "He doesn't love you like I do." "I know, I know." "You... but he exists." "He also exists." "What a good day, Bax" "Stop, please, or Bax will think we haven't seet each other in long time" "Laura, calm down, it's not a good moment" "I'm open to put some changes, but don't" "make decisions on your own, that's not how it should be done" "I think you should calm down." "We will discuss it next week." "Yes, thank you." "We haven't finished anything we started" "Give me a cigarette" "Laura, if you want to finish the project there are people who need to be involved" "I just don't like those people to make decisions without asking me first" "Enough, Carlos." "Take on champagne Shall we celebrate?" "Laura, the French man bought your painting?" "I don't know." "No, he'll say its fake and worthless" "He wants to restore it, so maybe he's convinced it's real" "He stays at the house" "He's on his own?" "Yes." "So why didn't you take him here?" "We need to find him a girlfriend." "What's he doing with the painting?" "He wants to restore the original image" "How it's done?" "He rips the coat" "So he paints something new?" "No, it's called repainting" "What if he rips everthing off?" "Mr." "Bax, continue with Mr. Braun I'll be back later" "Here's your chocolate." "I want you to change the painting a bit" "and paint her naked." "Your wish is my duty." "This girl will make the task easier for you and Leticia." "Mister has to see." "Her body is very similar to Leticia's" "Ask her anything, even if it's very demanding" "You'll do what Master says." "I pay." "You should start." "And don't forget it's a suprise for Leticia" "a present for her birthday." "What would you like me to do?" "We'll look at the other side" "Cleansing, Laura."

"Why you ask?" "How much he offerd you?" "Enough." "How much is enough?" "Enough to look at your face" "I'll offer you more" "For what?" "I want you to... (unaudible)" "This is gonna cost you" "How much?" "A lot." "You tell me." "[Girl]" " How much will you pay me to touch a cockroach?" "(they argue over money, but inaudible)" "Laura, please, stop, let's go to bed" "I don't want to go to bed" "Come on, it's 3am" "I'm gonna go for a walk" "Calm down." "Are you mute?" "I don't want to sleep in this house" "It's your house too." "No it's not, and I don't want to sleep here" "Where will you go?" "LEAVE ME ALONE" "Laura?" "Yes?" "Are you unwell?" "No, I can't sleep." "I'm wandering all night long" "Ever had nightmares?" "I tend to forget them." "I also wandered all night." "Then I went to a small square and sat down" "I watched the stars and cried" "I felt so lonely" "Come on, I want to see the painting" "Please, not yet!" "Leticia?" "Yes." "Who could have hid her?" "Him." "But why?" "Why?" "Was she naked?" "I don't know yet, I still have some work to do" "Well then, it's real Bax." "Yes." "There's no doubt." "Not a single." "Dont' answer."

"Shall we say you came here for me?" "Everything will change in upcoming week" "My mother was all about Leticia" "She wanted me to be like her so she forced me to study singing" "Dictaction, musicals, piano..." "Nice request." "When it became clear that I'm no good singer, she was unpleased." "It was my father who saved me." "He found me and took me to Paris." "We understood each other well and I loved him deeply at the same time, my mother never said a good word about him because he abandoned us." "But he had his reasons." "And when he died" "I came back here." "I was 18, I didn't know why I'm coming back" "I told my mom I want to study architecture" ""Architecture?" "What do you want to construct?"" ""Here you won't create anything more beautiful than this"." "And she showed me this house." "Can you dance tango?" ""Why do you want to rebuild it?"" ""You'll never make it more beautiful"." "So then I went back to Europe." "I studied, travelled and got my degree." "And I never wanted to come back here but I met Carlos who talked me into coming back" "and he told me that I have to let bygones be bygones turn the page and erase bad memories." "He convinced me." "Come, I'll show you something." "She wore that the night when fire started" "How do you know that?" "I want to know where Laura is" "Laura's not here, I'm sorry." "We argued last night and she disappeared." ""WOMAN MURDERED IN A HOTEL"" "I went to police station, to a hospital... she's gone." "I'm sorry to bother you."
