"Good evening, Mr. Humberto." "Good evening, Jaime." "Sorted out your problem with Lucrecia?" "I know you've had a problem with her for some days now." "Well, I won't be working for Ms. Lucrecia anymore." "Everything was different when Isabelita's father was alive." "Everybody says the same." "And now, nobody's working here." "My brother was much loved in this land." "His death was very strange!" "Jaime, I want to ask you something." "I need you to stay at the estate." "I'll be back in one week." "I'll double your salary, but you're to inform me of all that happens during my absence." "God give me strength to bear it, because working in these conditions is more than I can stand..." "For how long have I to put up with your damned crying?" "Calm down, little daughter, your father, who God has in heaven, will watch over us." "You'll see that everything will get better." "Please, no more crying." "You must laugh again, as you did when your father was alive." "Isabelita, please, you should be better behaved for your stepmother." "My brother brought you to this house to find in Lucrecia a mother's warmth." "Poor little girl, she's very nervous." "Since her father died, she thinks she sees ghosts every night." "Besides that, she says she hears strange sounds." "Her situation is deplorable." "We must clear this situation up." "I'll be back next week, and I'll send her to a good specialist." "We'll also talk about selling the property." "I think there's money enough so that the girl can go study at a good school." "Take your uncle's suitcase to his car." "It's very heavy." "Aahhh." "Can't you even do that?" "Jaime!" "Jaime, take your sweater." "Thanks, Isabelita, I didn't realize." "Jaime, could you do me a favor?" "Could you help me to take this suitcase to the car?" "Yes, of course." "Thanks, Jaime." "Always a pleasure." "Thank the Lord, I couldn't have children." "And I won't allow my husband to saddle me with the fruit of his adventures!" "Besides, I'd have to share my inheritance with her!" "See you soon, Lucrecia." "I'll try to come back as soon as possible." "I beg you, be patient with the girl." "But if I treat her as if she was my own girl she act's all capricious!" "She insisted on taking your suitcase to the car." "We have to educate her... it won't be difficult." "Oh, Jaime will stay for a few days to help you." "Thanks, Humberto." "It'd be really difficult for me to face up to the estate's problems alone." "See you soon, Lucrecia." "God go with you." "Isabelita, promise me that you'll be better behaved for your stepmother, uh?" "Uncle, I don't want to stay here anymore." "Please, you have to stay here." "I can't take you to Bogota." "Besides, it's only one week." "Be patient, everything will be all right soon." "Clumsy!" "Do you want to break everything I have?" "If this happens again, I won't be held responsible for my actions." "What are you doing here?" "Nothing." "So, get away from me!" "You don't have to watch everything I do." "I don't want to see you again on my property." "This property is not only yours." "It's also Isabelita's." "How dare you?" "Get out of here, now!" "If I see you again, I won't be held responsible!" "Jaime, I want to ask you something." "I need you to stay at the estate." "I'll be back in one week." "I'll double your salary, but you're to inform me of all that happens during my absence." "I can't bear it anymore!" "So, now you're spying on me!" "What's the matter?" "Nothing, I..." "I'm just leaving." "Really?" "Are you going to tell all you know?" "You're wrong." "You're not going to leave here!" "Where are you coming from so early, Isabelita?" "The well dried up and I have to wash the clothes in the river." "Why haven't you returned yet, Romulo?" "I've had a lot of work in the estate." "The boss got sick and I have to do all the work." "Is there anything new here?" "Next week, I'm going to leave the estate!" "I'm going to study at a school in Bogota." "And Ms. Lucrecia?" "She will be here alone!" "She's a very weird woman." "Last night she fired Jaime." "Sometimes I feel sorry for her." "The way she is has distanced many of us from that place." "I'm scared." "Many strange things are happening in that property at night." "The way my stepmother acts is very strange." "I don't know." "Last night it seemed to me I could hear Jaime screaming." "The house seems haunted." "Ah, nonsense." "Get those ideas out of your head." "Ms. Lucrecia, are you at home?" "Yes, Romulo, come in." "Good morning, Ms. Lucrecia." "Good morning, Romulo." "What miracle brings you here?" "Bad news, Ms. Lucrecia." "What's happened?" "Don't be alarmed." "It's just that nearby, a truck has crashed, bringing down the cables which carry the power to this place." "We're going to be without electricity in this area for about three days." "Do you want a coffee?" "No thanks, madam." "I must get back right away." "My boss is still a little sick and there's much work to do." "All right." "See you later, Romulo." "See you, Ms. Lucrecia." "Tell me, Isabelita, those blood stains, next to the front door, among the pasture, what's that about?" "Blood?" "I..." "I don't know." "I haven't seen anything." "We must find out." "I'll be back tomorrow at the same time." "I'm scared, Romulo." "Don't worry, Isabelita." "It could be nothing." "We'll talk tomorrow." "Yes, sir." "I'm going to the village and will be back late tonight." "Leave the food on the table." "Yes, madam." "Mr. Octavio." "Mr. Octavio." "Mr. Octavio, please, help me." "Yes, what's the matter?" "My stepmother." "I think she killed Jaime." "And buried him behind the house." "Everything is covered in blood." "Look." "This sweater." "It was his." "He always had it on." "Don't tell anyone about this." "I will deal with it." "Give me the sweater." "I'll call the police." "Where's Lucrecia?" "She left the estate." "She went to the village, but I don't think she'll be long." "Are you alone at home?" "Yes, sir." "Go and don't move from there." "Ah, and don't forget to not tell anybody until I come back with the police." "Leave it to me." "Yes, sir." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Stop yelling!" "No hugs, stupid!" "I can't stand you anymore!" "You're going to drive me crazy." "Get out of my sight!" "Now!" "Silly, you scared me!" "You're becoming very nervous." "That girl will be the death of me." "I think so." "It seems she found something very important, that could bring us serious problems." "Because look." "I must do away with her." "It will be a perfect accident." "Just like her father's." "God rest his soul." "I will have my estate, and in Bogota, everything will be different." "We're going to be so happy!" "You must be careful." "We should not act hastily." "Calm down." "Everything's going to be ok." "I'm so happy with you..." "Me too." "All those days without seeing you, they seemed as centuries to me." "This time, we must sort everything out." "Beware of the girl." "She may call the police." "Leave it to me." "Tomorrow, when she... all this property will be ours alone." "Take care." "I'll come late tomorrow." "It doesn't matter." "I'll wait for you." "I'm used to it." "My love." "Get off me!" "Get off me!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Please." "Help!" "Please!" "No!" "Calm down." "Relax." "My stepmother, she wants to kill me." "Calm down." "I saw it all." "But... something terrible has happened." "Come on, come with me." "Keep calm." "Keep calm." "My God." "How could this happen?" "I was in the house." "I heard screaming." "It was then when..." "Good morning, Ms. Lucrecia." "Isabelita?" "Help!" "Help!" "It was a terrible misfortune." "How did Ms. Lucrecia die?" "An accident?" "But it was terrible." "I'm really sorry." "Thanks." "Ah!" "Also thank Mr. Roque for the wreath." "With pleasure, good bye." "When did it all happen?" "In the morning." "The removal will be this evening." "Yes, because this morning the corpse went too stiff." "What an awful way to die!" "The stake went straight through the heart." "And when do you think to go to Bogota?" "You have to notify Humberto, the girl's uncle, as soon as possible." "Yes, sir." "I'm leaving in half an hour." "The corpse is too stiff." "The corpse we found buried behind the house was stiffer than this one." "The removal of the body took a long time." "We had to wait for the doctor from the village." "Aggghhh!" "Leave it like that." "The Coroner is waiting for us and... he's in a hurry." "I've already closed her eyes three times." "They keep opening up again." "I hope Romulo finds your uncle soon." "I hope so." "I wish he'd come soon." "There are still many people here with you." "Well, I must leave." "Ramon, come." "What's left to do?" "Just close the coffin." "Tell Pedro to leave it like that." "Humberto will want to see her when he comes back." "Yes, sir." "That's right." "Grant unto her, Lord, the eternal rest." "Let perpetual light shine upon her." "Ay!" "mom, are we leaving?" "Ssshhh." "Wait a moment!" "Grant unto her, Lord, the eternal rest." "I want to leave, mom, are you coming?" "Grant unto her, Lord, the eternal rest." "Let perpetual light shine upon her." "Are you leaving?" "Yes darling, but we'll be back later." "We're going to take the children home." "We must get back before it starts raining." "Yes, madam." "I'm very sorry." "Thanks." "Grant unto her, Lord, the eternal rest." "Let perpetual light shine upon her." "May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace." "Amen." "I don't think there's any electricity." "Who knows what happened?" "We don't have electricity." "Oscar, do you have any matches?" "Yes, of course." "Thanks." "What are you looking at?" "I'm scared." "It seems as if my stepmother is looking at me!" "Don't be silly." "She's dead." "But... she hated me!" "Dead people never hurt anybody." "I think she might!" "You scared us!" "In these circumstances, we are all a bundle of nerves." "My dear, the children are alone and they have not yet eaten." "We're going home and we'll come back later." "Ok?" "I don't want to be alone." "Our house is close by." "We'll give some food to the children and then come back." "We're not even saying good bye to Oscar and Yolanda." "They said they wanted to come with us." "They can stay here until we come back." "Besides, I don't think your uncle will be long." "You have coffee and bread." "There you go." "Well, yes." "Hi." "Yolanda." "Yolanda!" "Hmm?" "Let's go." "It's going to start raining and we don't have an umbrella." "I don't think Julio and Flor Marina have gone yet." "They went to the kitchen and left us here alone." "Go out this way." "It's better they don't know, so they will stay with Isabelita." "Clumsy!" "Do you want to break everything I have?" "Ms. Lucrecia are you alive?" "Let's dance!" "Poor Juan Miguel, so skinny and trapped." "Now he doesn't know what to do, because his wife has left him." "And these are..." "Los Cuba Habanos!" "The woman who has some men, has one thousand burnt candles." "When a candle blows out, the other ones remain burning." "When a candle blows out, the other ones remain burning." "Give me your warmth, because I'm cold." "If you give me your love, I'll give you mine." "The gooses don't take a bath with water around here." "They changed the bathing place, since I felt your love." "Give me your warmth, because I'm cold." "If you give me your love, I'll give you mine." "Ahh your warmth, because I'm cold." "If you give me your love, I'll give you mine." "Look at me!" "What's happened?" "I..." "I don't know!" "Who was the girl with?" "With... with some neighbors." "Ah, what a nightmare." "There's nothing left." "Help." "Humberto." "Help me." "It's Octavio." "But, wasn't he here yesterday?" "Let's help him!" "No." "Wait." "Not me." "Not me." "My God, Octavio, how could this have happened to you?" "I had to save the girl." "She's over there." "What happened to her?" "I don't want to remember it!" "Thanks to Mr. Octavio, I didn't burn alive." "Let's hurry!" "Can you walk?" "Yes." "Let's go." "Come on, Octavio." "Octavio." "Octavio!" "Don't cry." "Death is the only reality." "You have to tell me what has happened to you." "From now on, everything is going to be different for you."
