" She doesn't like men like you do" "Ada, this time I've found what I was looking for" "I don't want to go with you" "This girl drives me crazy" "I've broken two nails" "Yes, my love." "I know I shoudn't get my hopes up" "But until now, whenever we've had problems we've always talked things through" "And made up with a simple glance" "But it's not the same on the phone." "On the phone it's final" "Wait!" "Me?" "Why would I think you want to hang up?" "That would be too cruel" "And you... have never been cruel" "How silly of me" "I was about to say, until now" "Yes, it'd be better if you hang up" "Goodbye, my love" "Yes, I'll be brave." "I will!"

"Don't be a drag." "I like you and the public likes you, can't you tell?" " Yes, but..." " But waht?" "You should be happy" "I am, but the show gets me down sometimes" "I warned you" "I love all the drama" "All the crying and talking on the phone" "What I hate is having to dress like a slob" "I shouldn't have said that." "You'll never give me work again" "You're wrong." "You're the lead in my next film" "More cock!" "With your paranoia, I'd better warn you before you read it" " So you don't get cross" " Why?" "What's the film about?" "See?" "You're pissed off already" " Tell me, or I really will be" " Tomorrow" "Look, it's not that the role is inspired by you" "But it has... a certain affinity." "I need another line" "How much of an affinity?" "Regarding your problems with men" "I don't have any problems with men." "They mean nothing to me any more" "And that's not a problem?" " You think I'm a freak, too?" " I didn't say that" "Talk about your own problems and leave me alone" "Will you listen?" "Leave my life out of it." "I may be ridiculous, but I have my self-respect" " Who says you're ridiculous?" " I know I am" " Will you listen to me?" " OK, I will" "My problems with men mean more than a storyline" "No one's going to play with them." "Get out of here!" " No one's playing with them" " They're mine, you hear?" "You keep them, if it makes you happy" "It doesn't, you bastard." "But I've paid for my failures" "And now they're all I've got" "Your milk" "Will I have tits like yours one day?" "Of course you will." "At your age, I was as flat as a board" "Does Pablo like tits?" "I don't know." "Some men don't appreciate them" "No more questions." "Drink your milk" "She took everything, didn't she?" "Good." "We'll have more room now" "I'll never leave you, Tina." "I told her that and she slapped me" "Bitch!" "But never forget she's your mother" " I love you" " How much?" " Can I sleep with you tonight?" " Of course, sweetheart" "Can I ask the Virgin something first?" "At this hour?" "The poor Virgin must be sick of it." "Go on, then" " Morocco" " Finished" "What did you ask?" "That Pablo never leaves us like Mum did" "Let's go to bed, sweetheart" "Thank you, Virgin" "God, it's hot!" " Here" " What is it?" "Photos of when we were kids" "I thought I had them all" "When you asked for them, Mum and I kept these" "Do what you like with them" "I want you to trust me, Tina" "I promised not to ask questions, and I've kept my bargain over the years" "But your past is part of mine" "Don't take it out on me, Pablo" "I'm very vulnerable, and very imperfect" "Hi, Pablo." "It's Juan" "Hello, Juan." "How are you?" "Terrible." "Why don't you answer my letters?" "Because I'm trying to forget you." "And when you do that, you can't write" "I'll give you what you want, but you must teach me how" "You can't teach that" "Give me another chance." "Come to see me so I can try" "OK." "I'll come and check that lighthouse" "You'll love it." "Write to me, I miss you so much" "OK, I'll write to you now" "I love you" "Pablo, are you there?" " Pick up the phone, I'm sick of this" " Yes, I'm here" "I've been calling for days" "I've been out." "Did you get my letters?" "Yes, and I don't like them." "I'm sick of Laura P" "It was your idea to use a girl's name" "Well, I was wrong." "You must come and see me, Pablo" " Are you avoiding me?" " I've told you..." "Must go." "If you don't come, I'll come to see you" "Antonio, I don't love you" "I'm still in love with Juan" "I won't come to see you." "I'm going to see Juan" "Forget me." "Dont fool yourself." "I never lied to you, Laura P" " Nearly done?" " Not quite" " You go, I'll clear up here" " Thanks!" "But tomorrow it's your turn" "It's closed" " But if you want something..." " A bottle of whisky" " What brand?" " This one" " You must be Juan, right?" " Yes, and who are you?" "I'm Pablo's friend" " Pablo is coming tomorrow" " Not any more" "He sent me to tell you" " Why doesn't he tell me himself?" " He doesn't want to see you" " That's his shirt, isn't it?" " Yes, he gave it to me" "You still love him?" "In my own way." "But Pablo needs more, and I was willing to give it" "Don't bother." "He's found what he wanted in me" "I wanted to show him the lighthouse" "I'll tell him all about it" "Stop playing with the torch" "Here, drink" "I often come here to watch the dawn" "What are you doing?" " You'd kiss him, wouldn't you?" " What's it to you?" "Leave me alone!" " What the hell do you want?" " To possess you" "You're crazy" "I love Pablo." "I want everything that is his" "I belong to no one." "No one" "Sorry, I'm a bit drunk." "I didn't mean to" "I don't understand you." "I don't know what's going on" "Let go of me!" "Are you Pablo Quintero?" "What's happened?" "He fell, or was pushed over the cliff" "Near the Trafalgar lighthouse?" " You know the place?" " Juan sent me a photo" " Where were you last night?" " In the theatre with my sister" "I left Madrid around 8 this morning" "I suppose we can check it out" "How well did you know Juan?" "We were good friends" " How good?" " We weren't lovers" " Is that clear?" " No, it isn't" " Juan loved you" " How do you know?" "We grew up together." "He told me everything" "Stay the night." "You're in no shape to travel" "No, thanks." "That's kind of you" "I'm going to Jerez to see a friend" "Let's go to the cliffs" "Dear Juan" "The more generous you are with me the more I realise I've made you do things against your will" "I won't touch you again, even if you ask me to" "I want you to desire me, even if you don't love me" "But you can't force things" "I want you to show me the lighthouse at dawn and hear the waves against the cliffs" "I love you more than ever." "I can't help it, Pablo" "It's like the shirt he was wearing" "Did you see if a pocket was missing?" "Let's go after him" "The pocket" "What a mess!" " Antonio?" " I'm in the bathroom" "I'm practising for the grape harvest" " Come with me?" " You go alone" "Is something burning?" "I can smell smoke" " It's a cigarette" " But you don't smoke" "It's not a joint, is it?" "Open the door" "What are you doing?" "Where were you last night?" "Nowhere." "Stop shouting, everyone can hear you" "Let them, I'm in my own house" "What do you want?" " Sorry, I rang the bell" " The maid's out" " Who are you?" " I'm Pablo" "A friend of Laura's" "Can't that woman leave us alone?" "Don't worry." "She won't bother you again" "Remember me?" "Laura introduced us" "Of course I remember." "You're the film director" "You'll be late, Mum" "I'll open the side door for you" " Where were you last night?" " I did't go out" " I heard the bike" " Mum, you've got to help me" "How can I?" "You don't tell me anything." "It's that slag's fault" " She was here last night" " I knew something was wrong" "And him?" "He's got a shirt like yours" "I never had a shirt like that, OK?" "I'm worried about you, son" "Between your father and his politics and you... it'll be the death of me" "Let's go to the roof, we'll be alone" "What's wrong?" "Aren't you happy to see me?" "Juan has been found dead near the Trafalgar lighthouse" "Can't say I'm sorry" "He really hurt me" "I can still remember his letter word for word" "What did you do last night?" "Why did you ask your mother to lie?" "You know very well where I was and what I did" " I did it for us" " Don't touch me, murderer!" "It was your fault" "You lied when you said the letter was a joke" "And when you said Juan and you weren't lovers" "I told you not to lie, but you would't listen" "Anyway, it doesn't matter now" "This death will unite us for ever" "What's happened?" "Did he do that?" "Let's go inside, I'm naked" "How did it happen?" "He came asking after a girl." "I said she wasn't here" "He got angry and bit me" "Is he a friend?" "No way." "This girl Laura introduced us." "I was seeing her" "She wrote to say she was coming, but she changed her mind" "He thought she was here." "What's going on?" " Nothing" " Is Laura OK?" " What have they done to you, son?" " Nothing" " What do you mean?" " It's just a bite" "Who was it?" "That film director?" "Can I talk to you or your husband?" "My husband is at one of those parliament sessions" "Go and disinfect that wound." "Cannibal!" " I hope you're on the case" " Don't worry, we'll get him" "He's a very bad driver" "Please sit down and tell me what happened" "A young man's been murdered near the lighthouse" "He was a friend of Pablo Quintero, who came to see your son" "My son's not involved with that pervert." "What's the victim's name?" "Juan." "He worked at a beach bar near the lighthouse" "Your son says Pablo Quintero came here looking for a mutual friend - a girl called Laura." "Do you know her?" "I've heard the name." "I fear my son might be in love with her" "Here's proof" "I don't want anyone to hear of this, especially not my husband" "He's got enought to worry about" "Being a politician's wife is like being a widow" " You do understand, don't you?" " Of course, I do" "Have you discovered something?" " Where was your son last night?" " He stayed at home" " Don't tell me he's a suspect" " No, we suspect the girl" "Good heavens!" " Let us know if she gets in touch" " Certainly." "You too" "Will he pull through?" "He's badly bruised and has broken a leg." "But the worst is his head" "But he'll recover" " Can I see him?" " Not yet" "I advise you to go to your brother's place and check it out" "Why?" "The police will search his place" " He was here during the murder" " No matter, they'll hassle him" "Thanks." "I'll be back tomorrow" "Remove anything suspicious - photos, postcards, drugs, notes..." " You know what I mean" " Yeah, I do" "Same typeface." "The two letters and the script were typed on this" "Here he refers to Laura P as "Bitter Heel"" "Look what I've found." "A quarter of coke" "Not enough for a conviction" "But enough for two lines." "How about it?" "That's your loss" "This bitch is a knockout" " Wouldn't you like to lay her?" " Me?" "No" "And you?" "Right here on this table" "At my age, if it weren't for these little vices you wouldn't survive the job." "I hope you find out sooner than I did." "At your age I'll be Chief Inspector, not a detective like you" "I don't know why you became a cop" "With your look, you should be a model." "You'd make more" " Look who's here!" " What are you doing here?" "Searching" "Not me, he was." "I was reading" "Put that script down" "This isn't a public library" "Seems interesting" "He can read!" "Do you know Laura P?" " Who is she?" " "Expressive eyes..." ""... honey-coloured." "Average height, but attractive" ""With a lovely smile" ""Laura is around 40" ""And dreams of having a face-lift" ""She has a wooden leg and lives in a lighthouse" ""She retired there to seek revenge" ""But doesn't realise that she's the victim of that revenge"" "Are you going to read it all?" "It's your brother's description of Laura P" " She doesn't exist" " The lighthouse does" "Then get your information from it" "We've got information" "These two letters were typed on this machine" "One signed by your brother, the other by her" "This is absurd." "Laura is a fictitious character invented by my brother" "Who wrote that letter, then?" "What colour are your eyes?" ""Expressive eyes, honey-coloured"" " You're of average height - "But attractive" "And I bet you have a lovely smile" " Why don't you smile for us?" " Laura P" "Get your fucking mother to smile for you" " People like you should be dead" " Hands off!" "People like you shouldn't hit a defenceless woman" "You're not a woman" "Bet you'll charge me with hitting a cop" "Your mother wasn't worth fighting for" "Queers!" "You'll pay for this" "They must be on holiday" "Let's go" " At last!" " Where am I?" "You've had an accident" "An accident?" " I don't remember anything" " Nothing at all?" "Touch anything in his home, and I'll report you." "I've called a lawyer..." "He's awake, doctor." "But he's lost his memory" " We'll come with you" " No, you won't" " We'll help him recover his memory" " We've got other methods" "Careful." "A cover-up is also a crime" "And torturing a patient is an act of charity?" "We'll wait outside." "You're not a Chief Inspector yet" " Leave us alone" " Yes." "Excuse me" "So you don't remember anything?" "Who am I?" "Why are those men there?" "They're police." "Your name's Pablo." "A friend of yours was murdered" "Mysterious death in the lighthouse" "Did I kill him?" "No." "They suspect a friend of yours." "Laura" "So they want to question you" "I've called a lawyer" "Remember him?" "Rest." "You need to recover" " What used I to do?" " Films" " How were they?" " Marvellous" "Get better soon so you can do more" "Amnesia will buy us a month, at most" "And if he gets cataleptic?" "That's different." "If he can't talk, they can't question him" "Hello, Tina" " Guzmán Morales, Pablo's lawyer" " Nice to meet you" " We'll talk later" " OK, thanks." "How is he?" "He's awake" " But..." " But what?" " He's lost his memory" " I must see him" "She looks like a real woman" " Who are you?" " Your sister, Tina Quintero" "My God, you don't remember anything" "I'll have to fill you in" " The doctor's told me a few things" " Did he tell you about me?" " Mum?" " Yes" " Will she come to see me?" " No, we're orphans" "Our father's is alive, but he's in New York" "He hasn't written for years" "Our parents separated when we were very young" "You stayed with Mum here in Madrid." "This is Madrid" "I went with Dad to Morocco" "He's a painter, and he had a studio there" "There are things we've never talked about" "It was my fault our parents separated" "I was involved with Dad" "One day Mum caught us out" "And... well, you can imagine" "So you went to Morocco" "We lived there a few years and we were happy" "Until he left me..." "for another woman" "I never forgave him" "He hurt me so much, I haven't been with another man since" " Did I know about it?" " You really don't remember?" "Your amnesia leaves me without a past" "I'll go mad if you don't recover your memory." "Look, the two of us" "That's you, and that one is me" "What do you mean?" "At first I was a boy" "But when I arrived in Morocco with Dad, I changed my sex" "We had decided before leaving" " Did you decide, or did he?" " What does it matter?" "He liked the idea" "And I was crazy about him" " Would you have done it anyway?" " Probably" " Don't judge me now, you never did" " I won't." "But I need to know" "He's my father too, I suppose" "I don't regret it." "I'd have given my life for him if he'd asked me" "I understand" "What happened then?" "After he left me, I got a false passport and I went to Paris" "I couldn't face you or Mum" "I only came back for her funeral" "That's when you and I were reunited" "We were both so lonely" "And we still loved each other after so many years" "You didn't hold a grudge against me, and that..." "I could never thank you enough" "That's why I stayed with you" "You're all I've got" "Come here." "Give me a hug" "I can't" "I'm glad you're my sister" "So that nothing happens to Pablo and he's protected from the police" "The Sorrowful Mysteries" "Jesus praying in the Garden" "Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name..." "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses" "After three weeks he's still the same" "Leave this case to me, father" "Want to pension me off?" "I've still got two months to go" "Look who's here" "I don't want you to go on a downer" "Leave the dirty work to me." "You're too scrupulous" "And you're too clumsy." "You'll go far" "I feel great today." "Here, split it between yourselves" " And the cocaine?" " Naughty boy." "Tomorrow" " And the bag?" " That's for my brother. 'Bye now" "You make me so happy." "Watch those two" "There's nothing like charity" "What's the typewriter for?" "Leave her alone." "She knows nothing" "Go for the brother." "He knows everything" "I'll make him talk today." "I'll show you who's clumsy" "Don't take me seriously, son" "To be a good cop, being unscrupulous is not enough" "You need a sense of humour, too" "I thought I wasn't going to make it." "I've brought you all sorts of stuff" " Here" " What are we celebrating?" "Something marvellous." "I've got a boyfriend" "I met him when I was picking up your mail." "We screwed in your bed" "I didn't dare take him home." "I hope you don't mind" "Of course not" "I wanted to be sure before I told you." "Are you happy?" "You don't look it" " I've something to tell you too" " What is it?" " I've recovered my memory" " Really?" " Just wait till I tell Ada" " Don't." "I don't want anyone to know" " Why not?" " I'm happy here" "The police won't leave us alone until you talk" " They think I'm Laura P" " That woman doesn't exist" " And the letters?" " Keep out of this, Tina" "All right" "Up to you." "I've brought your typewriter" " In case you feel like writing" " No, take it away" "What's going on?" "Don't look like that." "Main thing is you're in love, and happy" "I won't be happy until you're back at work." "But if you don't talk..." "I'll talk in a few days." "I'm not strong enough yet" "I have enough strength for the two of us" "That's how I like it" " Want me here for the questioning?" " No, I'll get the doctor to call you" "I'm so happy for you, Tina" "This time will be different." "I can feel it" " Isn't that a bit heavy for you?" " Don't worry, I'm very strong" "So I see." "Don't lose it, OK?" "We might want to confiscate it" " Aren't you hot in that jacket?" " Yes, but I feel good in it" "How's your brother?" "The same, or worse." "Don't question him yet" "A man has been murdered and it's our job to find the murderer" "How many murderers have you caught?" "Don't be unfair." "The boy's just starting" "Why don't you leave us alone?" " The lawyer isn't here" " We just want to talk about Laura" "No one with that name has come to see me" "Think she's out there?" "On the roof maybe?" "Could be a pseudonym" "You seem to know her better than I do" "Does Antonio Benítez ring a bell?" " They both know you" " I seem to be famous" "And that means you don't have to talk?" "If a murder's been committed, you should find the murderer" "Not a poor amnesiac" "The letters" "Both written on your typewriter." "How do you explain that?" "You tell me" "These letters are not the only proof" " You're late" " I went to the boutique" "It's closed" "It opened today." "A shirt like Pablo's was sold to Antonio Benítez" " He and his mother deny it" " And you believe them" "We've got the boy under surveillance" "He's going out with his sister" "What?" "He's been comforting your sister." "Didn't she tell you?" "I should have guessed" "Why didn't I?" "I need a phone." "She's not working today" "Let's go to my office" "Go on without me" "The Glorious Mysteries." "The Resurrection" "Say yes or no and don't mention my name." "Are you alone?" " What's wrong?" " Is Antonio Benítez with you?" " How do you know his name?" " Listen to me" "He murdered Juan" "He's not a bad guy, but he's crazy" "It can't be" "There's a cop outside." "Don't look." "Don't let Antonio see him" "Just keep calm" "We'll be there in a few minutes" "It was too good to be true" " Forget that now" " And think about what?" "You're in danger, don't you understand?" "Act normal." "Bet he's looking at you." "Find an excuse to leave the house" "Say you've got to testify." "And bring the girl with you" " All right?" " All right" " The hospital?" "What did they say?" " Pablo is dead" "He jumped out of the window while he was being questioned" "You must bring him back to life" "He's mine!" "Pablo is mine" " He wanted to save me" " What do you mean?" "Nothing" "We must go to the hospital." "You wait here" "Wait" " I'm going with you" " No need" "How can you be so calm knowing your brother is dead?" "And why are you so concerned?" "You don't even know him" "Why is that policeman out there?" "Let us go" "Who phoned you?" "How could your brother jump with a leg in plaster?" "Maybe the police pushed him." "Let us go" "Run, Ada, run" "You go, Ada!" "Don't touch me, you scum!" " Go up." "He wants to kill Tina" " Who?" " A man" " Come down" "Up there." "Please help her" " Where's Tina?" " She fought with Antonio" " Did you see a policeman?" " He was down here" " Where's he?" " He went up" " And he hasn't come down?" " Antonio might be armed" " Don't move" " Let go of me" " Give yourself up" " He's got a gun" " Turn the spotlight off!" " Antonio, come out with Tina" " Turn the spotlight off!" " Turn it off" "Anyone moves, and I'll shoot her" " Is our colleague there?" " Yes, he's up here" "Stay calm." "Let them go and nothing will happen to you" "Think I'm stupid?" "I want to negotiate first" "There's nothing to negotiate" "Put that gun down!" "What do you want?" "I want Pablo to come up." "I'll only talk to him" " Will you let Tina go if I do?" " And the policeman?" "I will if you come up" "I'll throw you the keys." "Where are they?" " What do you want?" " I wanted to see you" "Here I am." "Untie her" "I can't." "Do you mind?" " Is he dead?" " No, I just hit him" " Try to bring him round" " I will" " You didn't need to come up" " Shut up" " Take him away, Tina" " No" "Go!" "I created this situation and I have to deal with it" "You've been fooling me, you two." "I hate you" "Go now." "Go!" "I'll be back in a second" "Bloody typewriter!" "Get away from there" "Wait a minute" "No one shoot." "I'm coming out to talk" " Give me the gun" " Learn to use it first" "But you never let me use it" "What a waste of taxpayers' money!" "No one come near the door" "Wait there, in the middle of the road" "Come on, move away" " And Pablo?" " He's fine" "Listen to me." "I want an hour to negotiate with Pablo" "Any interruptions and I kill everyone." "I'm crazy enough" "OK, you've got an hour" "One hour" "I needed to see you at any price" "I doubt you'll ever love me the way I love you" "I doubt you'll ever find as pure a love as the one you'll find in me" "You'll have a thousand adventures without love" "But at the end of it all you'll find only pain" "You'll be ecstatic with pleasure" "But you will never find as pure an illusion as the one I made you feel" "Loving you this way is a crime" "But I'm willing to pay the price" "I knew it when I picked you up at the disco" "I knew it'd be a very high price" "But I have no regrets" "I don't care what happens in a hour" "And you shouldn't think about it either" "How am I doing?" "You taught me how" "Thank you" "Cover up, it's cold" "I'll get your crutch and help you dress" " Antonio!" " Stay there" "Who will wipe from your life the memory of me and make you forget my love?" "Poor love, made of blood and pain" "This love, that saw both of us crying also made us dream and live" "How did it cease to exist?"
