""A Story of Betrayal"" "Hello, Horrible weather, eh?" "Had another delivery so I thought I'd save myself a trip." "Looks like you're not going to be all alone here?" " Need anything else?" " No, thank you." "What do you think of it?" "The horizon is nice." "What horizon?" "You know anything about painting?" "No..." "but I like it." "Feeling better?" " How come?" " I don't know..." "I thought maybe yesterday you were.." "Do I have to explain myself?" "Not unless you want to?" "I don't want to..." "Hi!" "Can I come in?" "Is this your usual time for visiting people?" "Sorry,just that I've no firewood left I left it outside as you can see." "Come in." "I've been freezing!" "Would it be asking too much if I took one of these?" "Go ahead." "I'll pay you for it." "Forget it." "Say, how much would a little bit of conversation cost?" "Oh, please!" "Tell you what I'll do, I'll have one drink and just talk." "You don't have to do anything, just listen." "You don't even have to do that, just stand there as you are." "What do you intend on talking about?" "Everything!" "Anything...my life.." "..why I became a painter..." "Why I came here looking for solitude..." "And why I'm so sick of being alone." "I'm not interested." "Will you at least have a drink with me?" "I guess not.." "My name's Arthur." "I'm 37." "I own a jeep and I have a studio." "And you?" " I'm not married!" " Don't go on." "I've just never been in love." "You don't believe me?" "Look, I just don't care." "I'd love to paint you." "You feeling inspired or is it just the Brandy?" "Let's say it's because I'm lonely." " Is it finished?" " Unfortunately." " Anything I can do for you?" " Yes.." "..don't come back." "How come you're here?" "I ran out of firewood." "I'm Carla." "Carla?" "She's not here, she left early this morning." " Where did she go?" " I don't know." "She took everything with her... ..except for that." "It arrived one morning out of the blue." "Luis" " Hello?" " Hi darling!" "How are you?" "It's Regina, how do you feel this morning?" "That depends..." "what is it this time?" "This time it's a very important person and very rich!" " Do I know him?" " No.." "..he wants you to spend a weekend with him!" "You know I want payment in advance right?" "Bye" "Luis Mendizabel" " Carla" " A pleasure" "Thank you" "Thanks" "Your photos don't do you justice." "You're very sweet!" "Do you do this often?" "I get bored travelling alone on business, and it's not always business..." "What's this for?" "Your future." "I'd.." "I'd rather not." "Why?" "It seem to suggest some sort of commitment." " Hello?" " Carla?" "It's Lola." "Are you there?" "Carla please, I know you're there!" "I've got to talk to you." "I've called you a thousand times." "Where've you been?" "Can you hear me?" "Carla, please!" "Please, say something!" "Hello?" "..." "Hello?" "!" "..." "Lola, shall we go?" "Yes, Luis." " Good morning sir" " Good morning" "Miss" " Martini, madam?" " No" " Who were you talking to?" " With my friend." "Arthur!" "What an honour that you remember me." "What are you doing here?" "I ran out of firewood.." "You?" "Come on, get in." "I'll take you to lunch." "No, no." "This one's on me." "You've lost weight." "That's from running around looking for you!" "It shouldn't have been hard to find me." "I guess I'm just a bit dumb!" " Hey!" "I'm over here!" " But for how long?" "I'm afraid to take my eyes off you in case you disappear again." "There wasn't anything else that I could have done." "Why?" "Don't tell me that you're really that dumb!" "Well, I am.." "..since I first met you." "On the beach." "No, on top of the cliff." "Why?" "Let's not talk about it please." "I liked you better then." ""My name is Arthur, I'm 37 years old.."" "I own a jeep and I've got a studio of sorts!" "See, I feel fine today!" "Come on, let's go." "Let's go!" "Where?" "Where do you think?" "Don't open your eyes until I tell you to." "Now!" "How does it look?" "Nice isn't it?" " Something missing?" " Yes" "What?" "This" "Happy?" "I never knew men like you existed!" "Nor women like you!" "Yes but we only see each other once a month." "Someone has to run the factory." "I hate the factory!" "Do you love me a little?" "How could I not love you?" "I'd be crazy!" "Carla, tell me.." "Wouldn't you like to live with me?" "No Luis, I'm not made for that." "If you help me it's because you want to." "Anything else would turn out bad, believe me.." " I need this freedom." " Forget I asked." "I want you to know that you're the only person who's never hurt me." "Who's always been kind to me." "That's almost like love isn't it?" "Good morning, sir" "Good morning, here's your breakfast." "Take away the butter, I get fat just looking at it!" "And also..." "It's you!" "?" " Carla!" " Lola!" "What a surprise!" "You look wonderful!" "You can't imagine how much I've thought about you." "It's been so long!" "Now tell me everything about yourself." "You seem to have done well?" "I can't complain!" "I do my business with third parties." "And you?" "You wanted to marry an engineer..." " ...have two children.." " A boy and a girl." "..and a house in the country with a garden." "I'm earning a living." "Don't tell me that you own this place?" "Yes.." "Doesn't it look like it!" "?" "You're very pretty..." "That's not enough." "You need luck." "Luck one looks for." "One should never have to be someone's servant." "This is my home... ..my home and yours.." " What do you say?" " It's beautiful!" " You like it?" " Yes, very much." " May I?" " Of course!" "I'm going to turn you into a distinguished looking woman." "Where did you find that lovely lady?" " Introduce me to her." " To you?" "Why not?" "Is she something so special?" "Let's go" "How do you feel?" " Do you want something to drink?" " Yes please." "I couldn't wait to get home." "I didn't stay for too long." "They wanted to take me out to dinner." "They're good friends but you've got to be careful with them." " Here" " Thank you" " Does this help?" " Yes, very much." " Do you like it here?" " Of course" " Are you happy?" " Yes" "I have more than I ever dreamed of having." "I was thinking.." "maybe I could help you somehow?" "No, that's not necessary." "You're here beside me, that's more than enough." "I'm so happy" "Don't ever leave..." "never..." "I couldn't bear it." "I won't..." "I promise.." " Anything wrong?" " No" " Are you sure?" " I'm sure!" "Why?" " Miss" " Thank you" "Isn't that dangerous?" "He's a good pilot, don't worry." "Hello?" "Just a moment." "Gone to the hairdressers, back later." "I'm sorry but she's gone out." "If you'd like to leave a number?" "I'm Lola" "Yes, so do I." "Fine.." "Sure.." "No but I'd like to!" "I can't..." "That's very sweet of you." "Really, I can't." "Of course I'd like to!" "Great.." "Fine.." "Bye!" "Hi" "What are you doing here?" "!" "Who are you?" "Shall I answer in order or all at once?" "My name is Luis Mendizabel." "Oh I see!" ".." "Excuse me!" "I didn't know you..." "Carla's not in." " She wasn't expecting you." " Yes, I know." "My name is Lola, I'm a friend of Carla's." "Has she ever told you about me?" "Lola, would you like to have lunch with me?" "But what about Carla?" "She went to the hairdressers, I'll call her." "What for?" " You're not afraid anymore?" " Hm.." "No!" "I'm not so sure!" " What's this?" " That's my factory." "And there's the sea." " How marvellous!" " Yes..." "Sir, we're going down now." "We're going to land." "But what are we going to do here?" "I told you - have lunch." "..And a garden more than anything else.." "A garden with flowers and trees!" "I love the acacias..." "the children could play there." " A little boy and little girl?" " How did you know!" "?" "I seem to be talking nothing but nonsense!" "I love hearing you talk." "Carla tells me that I dream too much." "That life is something else again." " She's probably right." " Life is many things, yours too." "I don't know..." "It's too late now." "Carla will be worried, let's go Luis." "I'd like very much to see you again." "Any time you come to the apartment." "I meant to see you." "But Carla?" "Are you going to tell her that we've seen each other?" "Yes, of course." " Lola..." " It's been a wonderful day.." " Lola!" " Please.." "Don't tell her." "It wouldn't be right Luis, It wouldn't.." "There you are!" "Didn't you go out?" "I just got back." "How..do you feel?" "I never felt better." "And you?" "I was invited to lunch." "I'm exhausted." "A hot bath will do you good." "Oh yes!" "Ah, how wonderful!" "Where the hell have you been?" "Don't you ever do this again!" "Hey Lola!" "That must be Luis." "She knows..." "Impossible!" "You must be imagining it?" "No, I say she knows." "Hi!" "I see you've already met?" " This is Lola" " Pleased to meet you" "What do you think?" "Lovely isn't it?" "I want to show it to you.." "Aren't you coming?" "Don't tell me that this isn't a bargain!" "There's a ridiculously small deposit, and the monthly payments which you could guarantee" "I can take care of the rest." "Lola loves it, don't you?" "!" "It's an ideal place, one could even work here." " Who could?" " Why, you could!" "I still don't understand why you want a house in the country." "This really is the limit!" "A man asking why I want a place in the country!" " To breath fresh air" " Yes..and a garden.." " ..flowers, trees.." " Of course, why not?" "He'll come around." "Men are all alike - all stupid but you've got to help me!" "We have to tell her." "I'll tell her" "No, leave it to me." " Are you sure?" " Yes" "Here, the deal of the century!" "Not even you could have done better!" " Alright" " Are you sure?" "You've convinced me." "You're an angel!" "The best possible man there is!" "Let's drink to it!" "You too, you've got your house now." "Cheers!" " Lola!" " Let her go" "Lola!" " Luis!" " What's the matter?" "Is there anything wrong?" "I had such a horrible nightmare." "It's over.." "Try and calm yourself." "Drink this." "What a disappointment, I thought you were worried about me!" "Please..." "Don't ever leave me." "Help me!" "..." "I need you!" "You're my whole life..." "..my whole life!" "I have nobody else but you..." "I wish I could believe you..." " I'm so happy" " With everything?" " For the first time in my life." " You were much better off before." "I don't care." "I haven't gone back to my house since you invited me to your jeep" "Do you remember?" "!" "Were you really that unhappy?" "I thought I'd die without you.." " Can I tell you something silly?" " Yes tell me" " You've made a real woman out of me." " More than you were?" "Hey mate, do you want to share!" "?" "Hey, I said you want to share?" " Idiots" " Leave them, let's go." "Are you taking these too?" "No, only my paintings." "I'm taking them to the gallery tomorrow." "My portrait as well?" "No, I wouldn't take your portrait to the gallery for anything." "Leave them, let's go." "Hey beautiful, what's your hurry?" "!" "Watch out!" "Very brave!" "Look at the young man!" "You want to show off in front of her!" "?" "Come on, come closer!" "Scared aren't you!" "?" " Leave him!" " Come on!" "Hey, get up." "What's going to happen now?" "You've got to go home." " Why?" " It's better that way." "I don't want you to get mixed up in this." "Promise you won't go to the police." "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen." "Stay at home for a few days." "I'll call you." "Well known industrialist dies in plane accident" "Luis Mendizabel was flying his own plane.." "Arthur is that you?" "Excuse me?" "No..." "Who?" "..." "Lola, I didn't recognise your voice." "Yeah..." "Yeah, I just read about him." "I don't know whether I'll be able to." "Certainly not right now." "Yes, of course I'm sorry." "No, I can't promise anything." "Why don't you come here?" "Yes, yes I'm sure, I'll try." "Carla, it's me, Arthur." "Open the door." "Thank God!" "I thought I'd gone mad" "They've taken the body away they think it's just a drunken brawl." "It's been the most horrible day of my life." "So this is your little nest?" "!" "Do you like it?" "I had nothing to eat last night or this morning!" "Neither did I!" "They say that trouble stimulates the appetite!" "May I?" "I wouldn't recommend it." "There are too many witnesses, don't you think?" " What do you want?" " That's better!" "Can't you guess?" "Bastard!" "Sshhh, please we're amongst friends here." "I'm a bastard, I agree - but you killed a man." "It was an accident!" "Yes but he died." "How much do you want?" "And the gentleman, what would you like to drink?" " Nothing, I'm leaving." " You don't like it?" "You already know." "Tomorrow at 11..and alone." " Shall I come with you?" " No, he said I'm to come alone." "Carla, please it's dangerous!" "Wait for me at your studio." "We'll go away, he'll never find us." "He will though, then he'll want more and more." " What else can we do?" " I don't know" " It's all my fault." " Don't worry darling.." "..everything's going to be alright." "Wait for me." "Arthur?" "Arth.." " Where's Arthur?" " He's gone." "Where?" " When is he coming back?" " Back here?" "!" "Yes, here." "Look...this is my studio, I only lent it to him." "Do you know his address?" "Where does he live?" "I really don't know." "He comes, he goes... ..but he no here, he no come back!" "Sorry to have bothered you." "Carla!" "I want to thank you for coming." "I felt it was my duty." " Nothing else?" " Lola, please.." "I'm here aren't I?" " Anyway, I'm rather upset" " I know" "Really?" "How?" " I know you" " You think so?" "I found you changed" "Must be age.." "Don't say that, you look wonderful!" "You still haven't forgotten me." "Let's not talk about it." " Madam" " Damn!" "All this in my honour?" "Who deserves it more?" "Do you want a cigarette?" "No" " What do you want?" " To talk to you." "About what?" "I don't know..about the past." "When we used to be real friends." " We've so many things to talk about." " One can't go back.." "Why not?" "We've got more now than we've ever dreamed of having." " You mean, you have." " What's the difference?" "You helped me once..." "and now, I can..." "If you only knew what all this cost me." " Forget it.." " But why?" "Because it's not the same." "I wasn't born to be anyone's servant, you know that." " This is just pride." " That's all I've got left." "You still haven't forgiven me?" "I'd like to do something for you... ..to show you that.." "You're not angry anymore?" "Leave me alone!" "What's the matter?" "Oh, this is absurd!" "I don't want anything from you." "Get out!" " Where is he?" " Upstairs" "Well...this is a surprise!" "Don't tell me Carla... ..that you've run ot of firewood again?" "Tell your..." "..to get out of here." "Get out!" "Alright.." "Congratulations, how'd you find me?" "Very easily." " You look beautiful." " Thank you, not painting anymore?" "No." "I'm on vacation!" "With your friends downstairs?" "Bye, See you tomorrow!" "Ok baby." "Well?" "..." "I'm waiting." "You miserable son of a bitch." "Is that all?" "Listen Carla, women like me cause I give them what they want." "It was pretty hard work with you." "Don't complain, I could of gotten much more." "Anyway, you were about to commit suicide." "Look at you now.." "alive and well." "What is it you want?" "If it's money, forget it." "I'll propose a deal." "Propose a deal?" "Come on, no tricks!" "I could get back everything that's mine.." "..and both of us could get lots of money." "More than you could ever have imagined." " If you don't accept.." " What?" "You'd turn me in?" "It depends on you." "Everything is exactly the same." "And you haven't much changed either." "Why should I change?" " See, all you had to do was call me." " Like the first time." "Yes!" " May I?" " Of course!" "Remember?" "..." ""I'm going to turn you into a distinguished looking young woman"" " And it was worth it!" " You really think so?" "Yes, I do." "Everything alright?" "It all works very well, you've learned a lot." "I had a great teacher." " When do I meet her?" " Tonight at Hugo's" " Arthur!" " Hi Carla" " Take care of my friend would you?" " A pleasure" "Watch out, he's a painter." "I'll be back in a bit." "Don't be long." "Are you afraid of painters?" "I'm afraid of myself!" "Ok girls get out, I've got to talk to Hugo." "You heard her, out..out!" "How many years have we known each other Carla?" "Ages!" "Seems like centuries." "Yet you still want your money in advance." "I'd do the same thing with my own father." "Your friend, is she still coming in on the act?" "That's not in the contract." "I'll give you double if she does." "Don't count on it, she's quite shy." " Try anyway." " We'll see." "Come on girls!" "Come on!" "1-2-3-4-5!" "Great!" "I got drunk in 5 seconds!" "Again!" "1-2-3-4, Bravo!" "Come on, that's enough." "But..it's only Frappe!" "Is that how you say it?" "And again please!" "I'll have to bring another bottle!" "Thank you!" "Come, let me take you away from all this." "You're sweet!" "Do you know Arthur?" "He's a great painter, A genius!" "And now ladies and gentlemen, the big surprise of the evening!" "Carla" "Arthur!" "Ugh.." "I was about to do something silly wasn't I?" "That depends on how you look at it." "Thanks for stopping me." " Where's Carla?" " She's outside" "She may have got angry again." "It's always the same..." "I'm alright... ..then suddenly something pushes me to something that I shoudn't." "There's nothing strange about it in this environment!" "No, it's not the environment, it's in any place ...in my house.." "with the people I love the most.." "Look.." "Once in prison.." "Don't be embarrassed." "I know more than I should about this.." " The same" " Yes madam" " How was it?" " Good... ..but I want to see the whole show." "Don't forget.." "I told you, she's shy." "We can't all be like you love!" "Or like you!" "I've lived alone since I was a child" "Ever since they told me that my father had committed suicide." "What about your mother?" "I never knew her." "She ran away I think?" "Father never talked much about it." "An odd thing though.." "I have an impression, a picture of her imbedded here." "What does she look like?" "I don't really know..." "Sweet..beautiful.." "...like you." "Well!" "You look like a pair of young lovers!" " Carla, I..." " Drink this" " What did you give her?" " Nothing, she'll be alright tomorrow" "Was it necessary?" "So she won't have any idea of what's happened." "Everything's going to be easier and faster." " I was about ready to.." " I know.." "I heard you.." "How was I?" "Disgusting!" "She's really a delightful creature, shame some of it didn't rub off on you." " Hi" " Hi, you're impatient aren't you?" " When did you get here?" " Just now" " What's our victim have to say?" " She asked about you" "If you'd have given me just one more night.." "I don't understand where all this pressure's coming from?" "I want to finish this once and for all." "I can't stand waiting." " These things take time." " You know what to do." "But you're asking for a new record." "Well, it's worth it isn't it?" " Arthur came." " Oh, the painter?" "What's he doing here?" "I don't know, he says he loves me." "That phoney!" "I suppose you didn't believe him?" "Well, I..." "But woman, He's a jerk!" "He seems intelligent." "Do you love him?" "He says we could live together and that he'd paint me." " Yes but do you love him?" " I don't know" "It's too soon." "I'm afraid of making a mistake." "Then don't be stupid and prove it." "Don't you think it's crazy?" "Listen to me." "He's after your money, you'll find that out for yourself." "I don't know." "Do you think she'll shoot?" "Yes, I'm sure of it." "You've done a perfect job." "What about the blood?" "It'll be in a plastic bag." "Keep it under your shirt." "All you have to do is break it." "Alright, and I fall flat on my arse and pretend I'm dead?" " Then what?" " I'll take care of the rest... ..we'll leave you in the house, then I'll tell you what to do." "What's so funny?" "Nothing." "Your little imagination." "You won't pull out will you?" "That depends.." "On what?" "There's something I'd like to ask you." "Go ahead." "Why are you doing all this?" "I told you.." "for money." "Nothing more?" "Isn't that enough?" " Remember, you taught me!" " I'm different.." "Yes" "You just don't convince me." "Alright, out of hatred." "Satisfied?" "If we have good weather tomorrow I'll paint you on the beach." "Like a Goddess, rising from out of the sea." "Arthur.." "I've told her." "Yes.." "Why?" "Carla's my friend." "Lola, you shouldn't have!" " You think?" " Yes" "She can't stand for people to be happy." "Don't say that!" "She'll try whatever she can to keep us apart." "Not true, she insisted that I come here." "One of her tricks!" "Don't trust her." "I know her..." "I know her well." "She could never understand anything as beautiful and pure as what we have." "Do you really love me?" "Lola..." "..I'm almost afraid to touch you." "Why?" "I don't deserve you." "It's me who doesn't deserve you." " Where are you going?" " Wait for me here." "Please trust me if you can." " And Lola?" " She's at my house" "Isn't she coming?" "No" "Is something wrong?" "I've told her everything." "Well, she must be deliriously happy!" "?" " She told me that you..." " She has?" "Just what did she tell you?" "You disgust me." "Where's the gun?" "Why do you want to know?" "Come on, where is it?" "." "If you're so interested, you'll have to find it." "You're funny, you're going to tell me you're doing this for love?" "You wouldn't understand." "Sure I don't." "You made her fall in love with you, so you can have everything." "Or not?" "Deny it if you can!" "Will you shut up!" "You've tricked me again but I won't have it." "I'm going to tell her everything about your professional womanising life." "You don't have to, she knows all about it." "I don't believe you!" "Come on, where is it?" "Carla, give it to me!" "Give it to me now!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "What is all this about!" "?" "You could have killed me!" "Murderer!" "Lola, help me!" "Help me!" "Kill him!" "Kill him Lola!" "Kill him!" "Shoot!" "...Shoot!" "Please, let's go Lola." "You have to help me!" "I did it for you." "D'you hear me?" "It's for your own good!" "Come on!" " Where is he?" " Buried, they'll never find him." "Thank you." "You swim very well." " I do lots of things very well!" " Yes" "Would you rub some cream on me?" "Yeah" "Happy?" "Yes!" "Do you like this?" "You know I do.." "What if I told you that I planned Arthur's death?" "I would still love you." "And that everything I did was because I wanted to keep you with me." "That's what happened." "You could have done that very easily.." "..by just asking!" "I love you!" "I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of your husband." "A very suspicious accident." " Him too?" " Yes" "He's confessed everything, spontaneously."
