"The Mad Monk" "Take it Miss Carmen" " What?" "Do you know my name?" " Of course I do." "You probably don't remember, but we used to play when we were kids." "I'm Martín." "Martín Lisiaga." "I'm the Father Superior's nephew." "Martín Lisiaga!" "Of course I remember Father, please excuse me but..." "I just arrived to town and everything is so different that..." "The one that changed is you, miss." "You have become a gorgeous woman" "Excuse me Father but..." "But all this sounds like pure flattery." "Dad." "Do you remember Brother Martín?" "He's my godfather's nephew." "How big you are boy." "Send our regards to your uncle." "I will." " Shall we go?" " I was only waiting for you." "Carmen, my child, you have no idea how grateful I am knowing that you agreed to sing the Ave Maria with Brother Martín." "It's a pleasure for me to do it, godfather." "God bless you." "But you two should be going for a rehearsal." "Right away." " May God be with you." " With your permission, godfather." "I think we did very good in our first rehearsal." "Don't you think so, Miss Carmen?" "Thanks to your outstanding way of playing the organ, Brother Martín." "I wish I could learn a little something of everything you know, but I barely know to play piano." "It's very easy." "It's very similar than playing the piano." "Please sit down." "Look..." "Put your hands right here." " Good morning Brother Martín." " How are you, Miss Carmen?" "I've come on behalf of my parents to invite my godfather and yourself of course, to have dinner in my house tonight." "Does something bother you?" "No, it's nothing..." "I'm just impressed by the passage of time in you." "From that skinny girl..." "You turned into a beautiful woman." "Do you remember when we went to pick frogs over that puddle?" "# gibberish #" "But you fell off first." "That's because you pushed me." "My entire dress got wet!" "My trousers too." "We got soaking wet." "What is going on, Brother Martín?" "These bursts of joy are uncharacteristic of a deacon." "Especially you, going to be ordained soon." "These days must be of meditation and peace for your soul." "Yes Father." "Please don't scold him godfather." "It was my fault." "We were remembering old times when we were kids and..." "Well..." "All right my child." "Come in and tell me why you're here." "As usual, I hope my friend that... in this new investidure of the deacons... from this young and cheerful congregation, you will be there." "That's what I hope as well." "You have been one of the faithful that have helped our parish the most." "And I believe that God wouldn't approve if you're not there in the front row." "We will sit at the same place as usual." "Why would we change?" "I believe so, I think you already know that you're always present in my heart, you're not only my daughter's godfather... (Thank you very much) ...but my friend." "Thank you." "Father." "Thank you so much." "This is delicious!" "Now I know why everyone says you make the best hot chocolate of Tonalá." "But what am I saying!" "From Tonalá?" "From the entire world!" "You are very kind Father Superior." "No, no, no, no, no." "The Father Superior stays in church." "Here I am only as your friend." "Brother Martín, do you only sing sacred songs?" "No..." "I also know a few love songs I learned while I was in the seminary." "Please sing one for us." "Behave yourself young lady." "Don't bother Brother Martín." "No Sir, there's no problem." "It will be a pleasure." "Do you have a guitar?" "Of course." "I'll go for it immediately." "Excuse me." "What's the deal with the organist?" "It seems that he has lost his mind." "Maybe he's sick." "Brother Martín, the Father Superior wants to see you." "Father, did you ask for me?" "Yes Brother Martín." "Martín..." "What is happening to you?" "Nothing..." "I was said you wanted to see me and..." "Don't you know that if you ignore what is happening inside yourself... you'll end up going away from our Lord?" "Are you perhaps forgetting about your love for God?" "Of course not Father..." "I love God above all." "The thing is..." "Don't be afraid my son, talk to me." "Don't you think I have noticed the change?" "The disciplined and studious Martín, the most devout of this young flock, has made way to a now nervous and absent-minded Martín, which is now forgetting about the duties of his calling to become engrossed in who knows what kind of dark thoughts." "Father..." "I want to speak with you as a priest and as my uncle." "Speak son, I'm listening." "I love God, Father." "I am a devout follower of the Blessed Virgin Mary." "And I love Carmela." "I can't tell what is real." "Every day I go to pray..." "The church's images become her." "Always Carmen..." " Carmen, Carmen, Carmen!" " Stop it Martín!" "You are blaspheming Martín." "The love of God is endless." "Human passions have a limit... where the difference between divine and human love is clearly set." "You are still on time Martín." "You chose to love God as a path to Jesus Christ." "In a priest..." "Celibacy must reach the deeps of his thoughts." "An unhealthy passion corrupts the mind... and might break your vows." "Keep in mind that only a few days are left for you to be ordained." "Pray Martín, so the Holy Spirit may enlighten you." "I understand, Father." "I know all this is temporary." "I'll do everything possible to stay with God." "And become one of His most loyal priests." "I'm glad to hear you speak like that, Martín." "Expel those bad thoughts from your head." "Don't go out of your cell." "And I say it again:" "You have to pray and to meditate." "So the Holy Spirit may enlighten you." "Come in." "I have a surprise for you." "There you have it." "I know you have always liked it." "Take it." "It is now yours." "I give it to you." "It's very beautiful." "It seems to radiate light." "It'll be your guide and will help you through the tortuous path of a priest life." "Thank you very much Father." "I'll have it always with me." "I'll be worthy of it." "The must difficult task for us as priests is to accept our cross." "Jesus accepted it with humility." "That's how he reached such heights." "But let's cut this effusiveness." "There's a lot of work to do." "We have a lot of souls to save, Father Martín." "Father..." "I'd like to be transferred to another parish." "I don't know if I'll be able to put up with all the temptations you mentioned today." "No Martín..." "You cannot defeat the Devil running from him but facing him." "With the love of God in your heart." "You're right." "I'll stay..." "It's now in God's hands." "Good afternoon my child." "I haven't seen you in a long time." "I've been a little busy." "But excuse me." "How are you, Father Martín?" "I'm fine my child, thank you." " I'd like you to meet..." " Mauricio Rojas, at your service." "I'm from a neighboring town, but I am at your service." "God bless you son." "It was a great pleasure meeting you again, but..." "I have to get home as soon as possible." "May God be with you, my child." "And please, send my regards to your father." "What a nice couple." "Isn't it, Father Martín?" "This can't be!" "This is a betrayal!" "W-what are you talking about, Father Martín?" "Well..." "It's not right for them to be wandering that way..." "And she shouldn't be betraying the trust given by her parents." "Well..." "At least that's what I think." "Shall we go, Father Martín?" "Father Martín..." "How are you, my child?" "I come to tell you something." "Sure." "Let's go to the confessional." "It's not about a confession, Father." "I'm here for a piece of advice." "All right." "I'm listening." "I know I have to obey my parents." "But they don't rule in my heart." "And this lead me to disobey them." " I love Mauricio..." " Stop it!" "You shouldn't be saying those things." "Your parents don't approve that relationship." "For your love as a daughter you must obey them." "But Father, I thought you were going..." "To understand me." "What a fool I am..." "How a priest can know something about love." "I only know about the love of Jesus Christ." "I live through Him." "I even would be able of..." "But child, you're young." "Father, what if you come to my house and talk to my mom and my dad?" "Maybe with your intervention..." " No, no..." " They could perhaps..." "No!" "I'm not one to persuade your parents." "I don't know..." "Maybe the Father Superior could, I'm not sure..." "Father, you're so kind and everyone here loves you." "And besides I feel for yourself something very special." "All right my child." "Let me know when I can visit your parents." "Thank you so much Father Martín." "Almighty God, you who can do anything," "help me." "Show me the right path." "I love you Mauricio, but my parents don't want me to be with you... and that's tearing me apart." "I don't know what to do." "If you really love as I love you, let's get out of here Carmen." "Let's go very far away." "We'll marry and be very happy." "Where no-one can object out love." "No!" "You can't do that Carmen." "You can't belong to any other man." "Did you hear me?" "You can't be with anyone else." "Wait a moment Father!" "I won't let you speak like that to the woman who is going to be my wife." "And if you keep harassing me, I'll take her away from here." "No please, there is no need to do that." "It's just that I care a lot about Carmen." "And I wouldn't like that she could do something to regret for the rest of her life." "Excuse me please." "I'm going to pray to God asking Him to enlighten us all." "Good afternoon." "Martín..." "Martín..." "Come to me..." "Kiss me..." "Kiss me!" "I'm all yours Martín." "Kiss me." "It is you whom I really love." "Come to me..." "Come to me..." "Embrace me..." "Embrace me Martín!" "Yes..." "You will be mine Carmen." "You know I love you." "Yes, I already knew that..." "I already knew that you love me Carmen." "It was Death Father." "Death itself." "Attractive and repulsive at the same time." "Opening its mouth full of silences and misteries." "And nevertheless..." "I cannot take her out of my mind." "My dear son..." "The only thing that can save you..." "Is your love for God." "There are too many temptations coming from Satan, but the love of God our Lord is vastly superior." "If He is placing those tests for you it's because you're one of His chosen ones." "Pray." "And if your prayers are true..." "He will help you." "Father Martín..." "I need to confess, please." "Tell me my child." "Some time ago..." "I came here looking for advice." "You know it's true." "I waited..." "But now I am a sinner with no possible forgiveness." "What are you saying Carmen?" "I couldn't wait Father." "I didn't wait for God's blessing." "My parents were against it..." "And I gave myself to Mauricio body and soul." "No!" "This can't be!" "You're mine." "You're mine Satan." "Mine!" "You hear me?" "You're only mine." "Mine!" "Carmen..." "Martín..." "Martín..." "No!" "No!" "Lord..." "Lord..." "Almighty God, please help me." "Help me to get out of this ordeal." "Yes..." "I'll go with you." "You'll be mine." "Even beyond the grave." "You won't Martín." "You swore to be my serf." "My will won't let you." "No!" "She will be mine." "Even if I have to die and meet her in hell." "Repent yourself Martín!" "Be truly sorry and you'll be back on my side." "Only that way you will find the light again" "I have nothing to repent of." "No..." "I'm Almighty!" "Now no-one gives me orders!" "No one!" "And besides, Carmen is mine." "Mine and of nobody else." "And I'm my own God." "I am my own God!" "You are wrong Martín." "You are not God." "You have sinned in a terrible way." "You have besmirched your religion and your vows." "You committed murder against your neighbor." "You will witness the pain of the others." "Pay attention." "Your punishment will be that of living forever without the hope of meeting your beloved in the afterlife." "You will live forever." "Wherever evil and betrayal dwell,  your eyes will be the witnesses of the sin." "Curse, sorrow and punishment" "And it will be like for ever and ever, until you are truly repent so you will be back at my side." "No!" "No!" "NO!" "The cursed talisman" " Bye boss." " See you guys" "See you boys." "Hey José..." "Aren't you going to play dominoes today with the boys?" "No Damián, today either." "What the hell is wrong with you!" "I already told you I'm not going." "I already heard you José." "Hey Damián, I'm sorry." "It's just that..." "I'm very nervous, I don't know what's wrong with me." "You have nothing to apologize about." "Excuse me for poking my nose into your business." "Since the last week I notice you very worried José." "Like if you had a lot of troubles." "I'm your friend..." "Tell me." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Nothing Damián." "That's it." "Problems." "Can I help you in some way?" "Unfortunately I am the only one who can get me out of this situation." "Ok José." " See you then." " Bye." "Send my regards to Mrs. Susana." "I will." "And remember that you can count on me if you need any help." "Thank you Damián." "Mrs. Susana!" "Mrs. Susana!" " Hello Mrs. María." " Good afternoon." " What can I do for you?" " Can you join us in the priest's supper?" "Sadly no, you'll have to excuse us once again." "We can't go." "I'll inform the priest." " Have a good evening." " Thank you." "Bye." "Yes, you're right, your master is coming home." "Go and meet him." "The same as usual." " Today arrived another letter from the bank." " Another one?" " Aren't you going to open it?" " What for if I already know what is written?" ""We are writing to inform you that if you can't pay in 30 days, we will refer your debt to our legal department." "Since the 27th your mortgage will expire."" "See how I know it by heart?" "In a little while we can have dinner." "Good." "What are you thinking?" "I was thinking..." "How sad is to be poor." "But who's poor?" "We aren't." "Really." "Just take a look." "All this is our." "Until the bank seize us." "I don't know what I was thinking the day I decided to ask for that money." "Well..." "It was the only way to fix our ranch." "And besides..." "You did all that for our son." "That's true." "I wanted to raise some money here to... send him to a school." "That he could learn something." "So he wouldn't be like us that barely know how to read and write." "Honestly I haven't needed anything else." "I learned to read and that was it." "I don't want to resign myself." "I wanted something better for my son." "To give him a profession so he could get out from this poverty." "But you can see now..." "The poor with his job tries to help me to pay this." "And with the little he earns..." "I don't want to see you like this José." "God is great, you will see." "He will help us." "The dinner is ready." "Come on, let's eat." "Thank you." "Alejandro!" "Dear son!" " It's great that you have come son." " How's everything?" "We weren't expecting you until the next week." "That's right." "But the truck needs some fixing and decided to do right here instead." "So I can stay with you for 2 or 3 days." "That make us very happy." "Those who won't be happy are going to be the clients, but there's nothing else I can do." "And what's the problem with your truck son?" "Nothing serious, something with the steering." "But I'd rather be safe than sorry." "Well, now go and wash yourself that dinner is ready." "That sounds very good to me." "An accident..." "Yes..." "An accident happened just to increase the anguish of this poor family." "And this was the beginning of the end  for the cursed talisman." "And I am the only one who knows the truth." "Yes, only I know the truth." "Alejandro had to stay in bed for several weeks, being unable to work." "Mr José's troubles increased." "And although the bank gave him an extension..." "He couldn't sort out his situation." "The deadline was very close now." "He was doomed to lose everything that he had built with a lot of effort." "Thus a day I decided to pay him a visit." "He had something that was mine and I wanted to get it back." "Good evening." "Good evening." " Hello." " I've finally found you." " Found me?" " Aren't you José Martínez?" "Yes, but what's up with that?" "May I sit down?" "I'm very tired, I've walked a lot." "I come from very far away." "I come from very far away to ask you to return me something that is mine." "Yours?" "I'm not following." "Don't you have a very antique crucifix?" "Yes, I have one." "So?" " Give it back to me." "It belongs to me." " It doesn't belong to you!" "That crucifix was from my grandfather." "It's mine since centuries ago, I need it." "Centuries?" "You're completely out of your mind." "It's mine, you hear me." "Mine!" "Listen you buddy!" "I don't know who the hell are you or what do you want." "But for your own good you better leave." "All right, you are as stubborn as the other ones." "But I'm warning you!" "If you don't return it to me you will pay for that." "Your threats don't frighten me." "And I tell you once more." "You better be leaving immediately." "You fool!" "But I'll give you another warning." "You must to keep to close to that crucifix, otherwise its curse will reach you." "And Alejandro?" "He's sleeping." "What did the doctor say?" "He said that in 3 days he should be able to get up and go back to work." "But..." "But what?" "He's too weak." "We'll have to give him these meds." "I know José." "I know we have no money." "We have sold everything we had left." "Even our animals." "There's nothing left." " You won't be thinking of selling it, right?" " Not for all the tea in China." "But it is going to help us." "So what do you say Sir?" "It saddens me that you have to get rid of this crucifix." "But if you have no other option..." "You already owe me too much." "Look, let's do this." "You keep the crucifix and when I have the money I come and pay you." "Deal?" "Don't you have something of more value?" "This watch." "It doesn't work." "No..." "It has to be fixed." "But it's very valuable!" "It was given to me by my father and is made of silver." "You're all the same." "It's all right, I'll keep the crucifix." " Then please give me my meds." " I'll go and get them." "José..." "Sorry Damián, I wasn't paying attention." "You don't need to tell me that." "How's it going?" "I'll buy you a beer." "What do you say?" "You know what?" "Let's go and drink." "I need to speak to someone." "And that is my problem Damián." "Now you tell me if I shouldn't be worried." "I understand your situation José." "And believe me I feel truly sorry." "Especially when I can't be of any help." "Don't you worry Damián, I know your good will and I appreciate it." "Tell me something José." "Do you believe in miracles?" " In miracles?" " Yes..." "Sure, why not." "That's what Saints used to do, isn't it?" "I'm not talking about those." "Heck!" "Which ones then?" "Look, there is a shaman in the town of San Rafael who performs miracles." "Oh, come on!" "Don't start telling me stories because you know I don't believe any of that." "I don't blame you." "I know how catholic you are." "But if you visit him your problems will go away." " Do you really believe it?" " Yes." "It didn't take long for Damián to convince Mr. José." "They had to go to San Rafael and visit a shaman that would perform a miracle." "But nobody knew what was actually awaiting for the poor Mr. José." "And thus that night he left to meet... his fate." "And that's why I came to see you, hoping that you could help me." "Yes..." "Your problem is serious." "You did right in coming here to see me." "But don't worry, everything has a way out." "I'm going to help you with this." "But before we continue tell me something..." "Are you willing to pay the price?" "The only thing I have is is this watch." "I'm not talking about that price." "Which one then?" "But your look and your attitude when you were telling me your story," "I guessed you don't believe in me." " It's just that..." " I don't blame you though." "But I'm going to prove you I have great powers." "So you believe in me." "I'm going to give you this amulet." "But listen carefully." "As you can see, it has three prongs." "You will be able to make a wish for any one of them." "But be careful..." "Because this amulet..." "Charges for every wish." "And the price for giving third one..." "Is death." "Are you willing to pay the price?" "Yes." "I'm willing." "Then take it." "It's yours now." "Oh!" "It's you." "What took you so long?" "Forgive me, I met with Damian and we went to drink a couple of beers." "The meds for your boy." "Great!" "Shall we go to bed?" "It's almost dawn." "Yes, let's go." "Son." "Take it with you son." " He will protect you." " Thank you mother." "May God be with you and bless you." "Well father, see you soon." " Are you really feeling fine son?" " Sure, perfectly." "Godspeed you my son." "And don't worry, everything will be all right." ""And being unable to... give you..." "Another extension..." "We inform you that..." "Within three days..." "We will pro... ceed..." "According to the law..." "To foreclose the mortgage you have"." "Well..." "This is it." "We'll have to hand over the ranch." "Forgive me." "Forgive you José?" "I have nothing to forgive you about." "You did everything you could." "Three days..." "Three days and we'll have to leave." "However..." "I think I have a solution." " What is it?" "Tell me." " Go and bring me my hat please." " But what are you going to do?" " Don't ask and bring me my hat." "Take it." "I'm going out." "Whatever happens stay here." "Do you understand?" "I don't want you to go anywhere." " What are you going to do José?" "Tell me." " Later..." "If everything goes well I'll tell you, but please stay here." "Forgive me." "Dear God, forgive me." "By the power that Satan has given you." "I invoke you!" "I need... 725000 pesos," "to pay my mortgage." "I failed." "I failed once more." "Let's go to bed." "Come in!" "Are you Alejandro Martinez's parents?" "Yes Sir, come in, come in." "Thank you very much Mr. Martínez." "Mrs, good evening." "Good evening Sir." "I'm Mr. Beltrán and I am the lawyer of the company your son work for." "What happened to my son?" "Two days ago he suffered a serious accident in his truck while driving in the mountain." "The steering broke, he lost control and went over a cliff." "He received medical care, but it was of no use." "By the night your son... passed away." "Here is the full amount of the life insurance our company gives to its employees." "725000 pesos." "God gave him to us and now we give him back." "No!" "It was my fault." "No, no José." "It was his fate." "I'm telling you it was my fault." "And all because of this!" "José then had to confess the truth to his wife... regarding the cursed talisman." "She... knew nothing about it." "But there were still... two wishes left." "I failed in my duties of good Christian." "I invoked Satan." "And God punished me." "Then make the second wish." " Haven't you had enough?" " No." "Make the second wish." "I'm begging you José!" "Aren you not afraid of God's wrath?" "I don't care!" "I want to see my son alive again." "No, please no." "No!" "Please José." "All right..." "For all the powers..." "That Satan has given you..." "I want to see my son alive again." "Did you sent for me, father?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "You can't be seen by your mother like that!" "For all the powers that Satan has given you, his mother can't see him this way." "She just can't." "This is my last wish." "My son!" "My child!" "Alejandro!" "José!" "José!" "And thus, for losing their faith in God." "The entire family suffered the severe punishment... of the cursed talisman." "Fansubs made by Zodiac @ Cinemageddon." "Share the rare." "The End."
