The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks* *Literal translation - 1944

Manola was a very proper girl

whose only defect is an abundance of of superstitions

The girl says that a cat

is what brings you bad luck

and if you turn a chair over she gets upset and cries

The superstitious do some funny things

Are you superstitious, sir?

Would you open an umbrella indoors?

If there is a leak.

Are you superstitious?

Very much so.

Do you think black cats are bad luck?

Because you have one there.

Don't turn a chair, it's bad luck!

The problem was that Manola couldn't go out alone,

not on Fridays, not on Tuesdays, nor on the 13th.

Do you know what she did?

- Don't you know what she did? - I do.

What did she do?

She played the piano!

That's right, she stayed at home and played the piano.

In the name of the Beautiful Medusa

I can finally have dinner with you tonight

after the show, but my mom has to come too. B. M.

Do you think three people can make a meal with one chip?

Well, it's not about the chip, it depends on your appetites.

What if there were two plus four?

This can also work, as long as you mean four chips.

No, it's just that one of these people eats enough for two.

20 black!

29 black.

Place your bets.

Hello, Leonardo?

I'm fine, take a look.

Do you play?

Yes, I'm going to bet a chip in the hope to turn it into four.

- Good luck. - Thank you very much.

Three red!

Place your bets!

- Three red. - That's six times in one hour.

Place your bets.

24 black.

Place your bets, gentlemen.

I still have a peseta.

Your hats, please.

We'll only be here for a moment.

It doesn't matter, you have to leave them.

No one can come in wearing a hat.

- It'll only be a moment. - It's totally forbidden.

Place your bets, gentlemen.

Zero.

No one can win with that man around

They shouldn't let people in.

What one-eyed man? I don't see anyone

He's just ahead, don't you see him?

I don't think you should play anymore, young man, you seem very nervous.

Nervous, me?

Place your bets, gentlemen.

Three red!

Are you going to leave it at that?

No, sir.

I mean, yes, I will.

Three red!

It must be because of that one-eyed man you saw.

Place your bets.

I like men who aren't scared.

It depends on what.

No more!

20 black!

Say honey, I think you're will have to take me dancing.

I can't. I have plans.

Place your bets.

Come along.

Shouldn't you take advantage of of my lane?

No, the streak is over.

If you keep betting, you will lose.

Come with me, we need to talk.

18 red.

Listen up!

You won again with those chips you dropped.

Thank you very much.

- Are you going out? - Yes, I am.

Why don't you continue?

Because he won't leave me.

Who won't leave you?

- The one-eyed man. - What did he say?

The one-eyed man. Have you ever seen a one-eyed man?

Not me.

Neither am I. He must be mad.

It was a good day for Mr. Basilio,

told us it was a wonderful good luck race.

- We should celebrate. - I can't today, maybe tomorrow.

Now I must accompany this gentleman. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, who did he say he had to accompany?

He waved here...

and there was no one there...

and he left on his own.

That boy is not well.

Well, we're here.

I'm very grateful Mr...

Mantua. Robinson of Mantua.

Basilio Beltran at your service.

Mr. Mantua, I would be very to get to know your system.

At first I thought it was a simple geometric progression, but then when...

It's something much simpler.

Before the ball is in motion, I see which number will win.

What? Do you see the number?

And you say it's easy?

Yes, very easy, but we'll talk about that another time.

I came to you because I need you.

If I can help you in any way, I am at your disposal.

Well, to get someone see me as you see me now,

to get someone to listen to me like you do now,

that was the hardest part, and it's already been done.

You are a man who is very sensitive to hidden sensations.

Excuse me?

I mean that your imagination goes beyond the everyday world.

Maybe... I just didn't realize it.

Could you help me with a strange venture?

You have extraordinary.

Come with me, this is my house.

I'm very happy to have met you.

It was my pleasure and my luck.

Be careful, what is...

Don't be afraid. It's an old wound, that caused my death.

Well, good night, at your service, goodbye.

I'd like to see you again.

Would you come to this house tomorrow at 10?

Yes, sir.

Well done.

Please help me with my experiments

and I'll tell you where the ball will fall.

And don't forget that the Beautiful Medusa is waiting for you.

No, sir.

How did you know...

Make way!

That wasn't a dream.

We have a nice steak and potatoes.

Oh, how awful! No potatoes, they make you fat.

I'd like steak without potatoes.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'd like to get rid of 4 or 5 kilos that are bothering me

and I'm starving.

We have salmon in green sauce.

Without sauce, it's fattening.

Bring it fried.

Oh, not fried.

And what do you want?

I'll have some lobster with mayonnaise

and some steak with potato soufflé

Oh, potato soufflé!

Well, a soufflé more than air, right?

Yes, ma'am, we put air in it.

Once.

Oh, don't be such a tease, young man.

Don't be so provocative.

Well, I'd like a lobster with mayonnaise

and some steak and potato soufflé. soufflé.

Half or whole?

It doesn't matter. Double.

And to drink?

Bring some champagne.

Oh, Basil! Did something happen?

Don't worry.

Champagne or champagne 20?

Champagne champagne.

You heard him.

- Waiter. - Ma'am?

You forgot dessert.

Oh, forgive me, ma'am.

We have rice pudding, we have sweet breads...

Can you bring us a list?

I can't help myself when it comes to dessert.

I like everything.

Hi, how are you Leonardo?

What are you doing around here in the morning?

Nothing, I had a meeting, but I think I'm late.

What time is it?

Eleven. Would you meet a lady?

No, with yesterday's man.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night,

I kept tossing and turning and having one nightmare after another.

Maybe you ate more than you should.

Yes, I think I celebrated my luck too much.

Anyway, when I pulled myself together this morning it was already 10:30.

Well, may your luck continue.

Lots of luck.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Oh children, go and play somewhere else, look what you've done!

Thank you.

It's okay, would you like me to take them somewhere for you?

It's not worth it, I'm not going far.

Miss, Miss!

Here, you've left that behind.

Thank you very much.

Listen, does that girl live in this building?

Yes sir, Miss Ines lives behind that door.

Thank you.

Here.

Hey, do me a favor? Mr. Robinson of Mantua.

Don't you understand?

I'm asking if Mr. Robinson de Mantua lives here.

Mommy! Mommy! Get out of here!

Hello, what do you want?

I'd like to know if Robinson of Mantua lives here.

We arranged a meeting yesterday.

Make an appointment for yesterday?

Justin! Justin!

What's going on?

This man is looking for Professor Mantua.

Yes. Does he live here or not?

He doesn't live.

I must be mistaken,

he probably lives in a similar place.

He doesn't live here or other place.

He killed himself a year ago.

That's why when you said had made an appointment yesterday...

Last night.

A tall, thin man dressed like a one-eyed Lutheran.

He's the uncle of the lady you asked me about.

Ah, so that's it. What interests you is the girl.

But I had a meeting with Uncle.

I don't understand. Excuse me.

What is he looking for in this neighborhood?

Who knows?

What did he tell you?

Well, nothing.

That he had eaten too much and had a bad night.

- Is that it? - That's it.

It's incredible, six lobsters between three people!

Last night was the same, and with real champagne too.

That woman who says she wants to lose weight

ate a cow between yesterday and today.

I can't believe it's not making them sick.

Maybe it is.

Who is it?

It's me, don't be afraid.

Since you didn't show up at our meeting this morning,

I had to come here tonight.

I overslept. I had a very bad night.

I know, I know.

How do you know?

I know a lot of things, but in the end.

I didn't come to talk about it, but to

to tell you that I sought you out for your extraordinary psychic abilities,

and because at the same time you seem to be a good man.

Thank you. Tell me, how can I help you?

I didn't commit suicide, I was murdered.

However, hate didn't lead me to you.

No human being feels hatred when crosses the line between life and death.

The only thing I miss in life is a statuette I had in my living room,

the Venus de Milo.

It must be a copy.

Yes, a worthless copy,

but I admired Venus as a woman.

She was my type.

Everyone has their weaknesses.

This can't be the reason you're looking for me.

No, it's about my niece.

The girl with the books!

Yes, she's in great danger.

It's something that matters more than life,

and I can't do anything about it.

It has to be you who still belong to the world.

Tell me what I should do?

It's not necessary.

You'll find your way.

I hope your life on earth is a happy one,

and that your endless life is delivered to the light.

Hello.

Good morning.

I'm here. What did you want?

Who called me?

I didn't.

Maybe it was that man?

I didn't call anyone.

Weren't you the ones turning a bedside table?

No, there's no spiritualism here.

It must be on another floor.

I can see that you too are on the other side.

Yes, I am. or Professor Robinson of Mantua.

And who are you?

I'm Napoleon, nice to meet you.

My pleasure.

So you're sure no one called me?

No, I didn't call anyone.

I'm not surprised.

They call me from everywhere

As soon as five people go around a table to communicate with spirits

they call me. I'm always on the move.

Look on another floor.

That's what I'll do.

It must be the people on the second floor.

Well, good night

and forgive me if I frightened you.

You didn't scare me.

Goodbye Basilio, and don't forget what I told you.

After you.

No, you're a teacher first.

- I couldn't do that, Your Majesty! - No way!

Hello Basilio, what a coincidence, we met in the same place.

Yes, quite a coincidence.

Let me introduce my friend,

Dr. Sabatino.

If you need his services, don't be afraid to call him.

- My pleasure. - My pleasure.

Have you had more nightmares?

Oh, don't even mention it, last night

I had one that left me more tired than when I went to bed.

You may be suffering from a nervous condition.

With rest and relaxation it will pass.

Possibly.

I would recommend spending some time in the country.

It would be nice, but until my vacation I can't leave Madrid.

Anyway, if you need me don't be afraid to let me know.

Leonardo always knows where I am.

Thank you very much.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

He seems determined to get in today.

What could this mean?

We'll know soon.

That man is planning something.

- Is he a thief? - Or a madman?

Another madman in the house.

Come in.

Is Dona Ines here?

Who should I say is calling?

Mr. Beltran. I'm a friend of her uncle's.

Come in.

- Good morning. - So you say.

Forgive me, if it were up to me

I wouldn't have come and bothered you.

Well, now that you are, it would be better if you told me what you wanted.

Yes, that would be best.

I wanted to talk to you...

I believe that's what you are doing,

in addition, apparently you also talk to the doormen.

Naturally you must think it was a trick to get me closer to you.

A bad trick.

You claimed to have known my uncle.

It's true.

I needed to see you, I know your uncle.

- When did you meet him? - The night before last.

Bráulia!

Show the gentleman to the door.

Let me explain, I beg you!

When I said I wouldn't have come to see him alone, I was telling the truth.

I need to fulfill a mission,

a strange mission that imposed on me.

Leave him alone, Bráulia.

Sit down.

I know your uncle,

Mr. Robinson from Mantua, was murdered.

How do you know he was murdered?

Because he told me so himself.

I didn't mean that.

I meant that a man like your uncle couldn't have killed himself.

I know that he loved you very much and dedicated his life to his work.

Nothing makes you think he was looking for death.

On the contrary, he was suffering from delusions and an overabundance of

confidence and told his partner who was on the verge of

a discovery that surprise the world.

And who was his partner?

Another archaeologist, Mr. Zachariah.

Is he alive?

I don't know, he disappeared on the same day my uncle died.

The police made an effort to find him, but nothing turned up.

Maybe he died too.

Aren't you suspicious of him?

He wouldn't hurt anyone. My uncle had no enemies,

we had to accept the reason given for his death.

But something inside me doubts the way things really were.

I ask you to tell me everything you know.

If I knew something I would tell you

because I have to earn your trust,

but unfortunately I'm ignorant in many things.

Still?

So that's it.

I ask you to see me as a friend,

to stay calm and help me.

I'll go once I know who you are,

and why you are interested in this business.

My name is Basilio Beltran,

I study archaeology,

I read some of your uncle's works, with whom I dealt.

Even if it's not a great reason,

who doubts that my uncle committed suicide seems to me

a friend of his, which is being my friend.

Thank you.

Can you tell me where they found the body?

There. He had a lot of on his neck.

The gun was found a few centimeters from his right hand.

Did many people visit this room?

No, it was just him and me. interested in these things.

No one ever came, and neither should we.

This house is haunted, and this room...

Don't mind her, the furniture creaks

makes her think that we are surrounded by ghosts.

What about voices? Furniture doesn't talk.

So you heard voices?

Yes.

The master was killed by ghosts and one day they will kill us.

And that room?

A small gallery where he kept all the valuables he could find.

You who study archaeology would know the value of all this.

I can't believe it. It's magnificent!

It's a shame those boards are broken.

What did you find? No one has been here since he died.

A piece of paper on which signs are written.

Do you know what it is?

What could this mean?

I can't find a meaning, but you know about these things.

- Would you let me take it? - Why not?

I'll study at home.

Hello.

Hello, Martinez.

My friend here would like to know some of the details of Mr. Mantua's death.

All right, right away.

Go and sit down.

No, not that chair it's missing a leg.

- Let me just moisten my throat. - Go ahead.

I'm at your disposal, sir.

Mr. Robinson de Mantua who lived in Paja Plaza has died...

on February 15th of last year.

Mantua, Mantua...

I remember it perfectly.

Here you are, sir.

The man killed himself.

Do you think so?

I know the case.

When it happened I was on duty

and I was one of the people who took care of it.

The poor man must have been a bit strange.

He wants to take it home to read,

since you're a friend of Mr. Martinez?

Thank you, there's no need.

I'll come back if I need to.

- It's been a pleasure, sir. - At your service.

Bye Martinez, drop by from time to time.

Don't worry about accompanying us,

we're going to the archives and I know the way.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

It was nothing, you know where to find me.

Good morning, Mr. Alfonso.

Good morning, Martinez.

Mr. Veltran, whom I have the pleasure of introducing,

found a hieroglyph

it will drive you crazy if you don't help decipher it.

Would you give him a hand?

Maybe I'm the one who goes crazy,

but I'll try.

Let's see.

Do you understand that?

Basilio consoles himself.

if Mr. Alfonso can't translate

means it's difficult and your failure is nothing to be ashamed of.

It's quite difficult...

or it's quite simple.

I was about to fail for attaching too much importance.

It's an Assyrian alphabet,

easily understood with this book.

Did you decipher it?

Yes, I do now.

I'm sure it's a joke.

It says exactly here:

"Tonight in the Tower of the Tower"

Would you like to see him?

The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks...

I don't know what that means.

Have you ever heard your uncle talk about the Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks?

No, I've never heard him mention that tower.

However, I vaguely remember him mentioning

something that could be related.

Tell me.

Well, you have to understand that none of will bring my uncle back to life.

It's not about your uncle, it's about you.

You are in serious danger.

However, did you come up with the idea?

He told me.

Who is he, my uncle?

Yes, but I don't want you to get upset with me again.

Your uncle,

or the man I thought was your uncle,

came to my house last night.

Were you with my uncle last night?

Yes...

and the rest of the night...

I dreamt about you.

And those extraordinary conversations,

do you have them every night?

For God's sake, Ines, I don't want you think I'm crazy!

I know that all this is not normal, but

there are phenomena that we cannot explain and exist independently.

Tell me, what do you remember

about the Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks?

I seem to remember reading a letter from Mr. Zachariah to my uncle

who mentioned a hunchback.

The house was ransacked a few days earlier.

Who is Mr. Zachariah?

The archaeologist I mentioned.

He worked with my uncle and disappeared a few days before his murder.

Here's the letter.

Forgive me, Robinson, but I can't see you until the day after tomorrow.

If you can come to St. Morelia,

in front of the house where we met on Thursday.

I'm ready to meet a colleague, I don't know if you know him.

He is a man with a hump on his back

who is always with another hunchback.

Did your uncle receive this letter?

He should have picked on the day of the murder.

Nothing more was heard of Mr. Zachariah, as I told you.

I thought there might be some connection between

those hunchbacks and the tower on the card.

I'm going to Morelia Street immediately.

If you allow me, I'll come and see you later.

I'll be home all day.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

How are you? What are you doing doing in this neighborhood?

I like walking around old Madrid.

Me too.

These old neighborhoods calm the nerves.

By the way, how are yours?

Much better.

Would you like to continue your journey with me?

That way, you can tell me about your illness.

I'm not sick, you must think I'm crazy, but you're wrong.

I don't think you're crazy,

I just think you're a person with a bad case of nerves.

Have you been to Paja Plaza a lot?

Why do you ask?

Leonardo saw you there one day,

and me the next day,

someone might assume that you have a love interest there.

Can you tell me the reason for this interrogation?

Friend Basilio,

it's not an interrogation.

It's just a joke, I wouldn't pry into your private life.

And now goodbye,

I'll let you continue walk.

Goodbye.

Tonight in the Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks...

Miss Ines.

What is this Bráulia? Why haven't didn't you go to bed?

It's you who should go to bed,

it's very late.

Right away, let me finish.

If you don't take your medicine

don't complain if your head hurts again.

I'm fine, thank you. Good night, Bráulia.

Good evening, miss.

A tower of around 40 meters instead of

resting on the ground sinks beneath the earth.

We were about to close.

Just a moment, I'm bringing a message, I'll be out immediately.

Is Mrs. Ines at home?

I didn't see her leave.

Could you tell Miss that I'm here?

Look at the time! It's bedtime!

It's true, I'm a bit late.

Miss Ines?

Miss?

She's not here.

Could she be in her room?

No, I've just come from there.

Could she have left?

Well, no, the doorman said that he didn't see her.

Oh, something terrible has happened!

Calm down and look for her carefully.

But she's not in any of the rooms!

I'll ask the neighbors upstairs, they're quite friendly with her.

Young man!

Did you move it?

Not good, the young woman didn't leave the building or climbed the stairs,

she's gone!

Operator, operator!

Put me through to the police, it's very urgent, miss!

Hello, Captain? Agent Martinez, please.

Yes, yes, Sebastian Martinez!

On duty where?

Modern Salon?

Very good, thank you.

Listen, have you seen Agent Martinez?

He was here earlier.

Do you want me to look for him?

Yes, look for him in the hallway and I'll take a look backstage.

Basilio, you ingrate!

You've become a stranger, we haven't seen you for two days!

Good evening, Mrs. Magdalena.

Belita, look who invited us to dinner!

I don't know if I can tonight...

Hello Basilio, where have you been?

I have an important mission, I can hardly stand still.

What are you saying? Come in sit down and have a drink.

But I have to see someone.

He can wait.

Who are you looking for?

Martinez from the Service Agency.

He must be around here somewhere, I'll look for him myself.

Pour him a small drink.

Two whole days without you showing up and now you're here for a man.

- Not now, professor! - What are you saying?

Nothing, it's over.

Why did you cover the mirror?

Did I cover the mirror? I didn't want to.

Come in.

- I hope I'm not intruding. - Not at all.

- Sit down. - No, no, no!

We have a lot to talk about. I'll be back soon.

Let's go.

Look, this is the house I saw.

The best thing is to go to the police.

They would ignore me because nothing really happened.

What about the girl's disappearance?

He would end up the same way as who disappeared a year ago.

No,

we have to solve it ourselves.

That's not possible, Basil.

I'm working on a case of forgery case.

You could finish this immediately.

No, it's not that easy.

I only caught someone who had a counterfeit note

but it seems he's innocent.

He received the note from a hunchback he didn't know.

A hunchback?

Take a look.

Then you have one.

Who is he?

- His name is Malato. - Is he blind?

Not at all. He sees perfectly.

Watch him.

He's not blind, just dumb as a stone.

Do you think you're going to beg at this hour and in this neighborhood?

Quiet.

It must be a sign.

Come along.

He must have gotten in.

Are you sure?

He couldn't have disappeared elsewhere.

Let's call the night watchman.

Watch out!

- Listen, does a hunchback live here? - One called Malato.

Nobody lives in this house.

He was convicted a few years ago for being unstable.

But we've just seen someone come in.

It can't be. Nobody lives here.

It's a house that could fall down at any moment.

Well done.

Come here.

This door was opened recently.

Do you think he got in through the keyhole?

Someone passed through here recently.

It can't be, only I have the key.

Open up, please, I'm a agent.

But I'm telling you there's nothing there.

Please open!

Watch out!

If you don't see us here, close and don't worry.

- There's no one there. - Quiet.

Look what's here.

But where did he go?

No one went up. Let's see what we have here.

Check it out!

Let's go!

Light those lanterns.

Take it.

Let's see where all these tunnels lead.

I'll take this one.

You take one of the other two and we'll meet back here later.

Martinez! Martinez!

Martinez, where are you?

Hello.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

Could you do me a favor and show me your back?

Oh, you're not a hunchback, are you?

No, sir, not at the moment.

It's the first time I've seen you here.

I've just arrived.

Are you Mr. Zachariah?

Yes, exactly, Zachariah.

Where did you come from? Sabatino's house?

I'm from Madrid.

Oh, well done, from Madrid!

And what's happening in Madrid?

How long has it been since been there?

Yes, a long time.

Although, to be honest, I don't remember how long.

The entrance was blocked and since

those hunchbacks never finish to fix, here I am.

But I don't mind, since I have a lot of work to do.

Were you friends with Professor Mantua?

Of course I was his friend, a close friend.

We discovered this underground city.

What happened was that instead of staying here with me, he decided to leave,

and then what had to happen happened to him.

Do you know about his death?

Yes, they told me a a little later.

He died in a train accident.

A train accident.

It was a disgrace.

He lost a great deal of work that would have made him very happy,

but he was a very impatient.

What was the need to find the door and leave that place so soon?

You've never been out?

How do you want me to leave since ago there was a landslide

and we were stuck here.

And now it's my turn, how did you get in?

The tower.

What do you mean, the tower?

That's when Sabatini told me that the collapse had happened

and there's no hope of finding the way out.

And there's no other way out?

I think there's one in the synagogue.

One of these days, when a break in my work

I'm going upstairs because I have to pick up some books on Rua São Bernardo.

Dear Zachariah,

you know that my library is at your disposal.

All you have to do is tell us which book you need to get it immediately.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much,

but I'm getting tired from so much work.

I want to spend my vacation in Madrid.

Welcome.

Oh, you know each other?

Yes, I think so.

I had the pleasure of meeting your friend.

He was seen passing through the square

and I've come to welcome him.

What brings you to these parts?

I could ask you the same thing.

Do you follow young archaeologists?

Well, you're in the most interesting place in all of Spain.

This city was founded by Jews

who hid in these caves after the expulsion.

Sit down.

Thanks, but I like walking around the city.

In these caves the Jews hid their relics and their gold

which is what we're looking for now.

Would you like me to accompany you?

It would be my pleasure.

See you later.

See you later, Mr. Zachariah.

Good night, rest well.

Goodbye doctor, good night.

I didn't ask about the purpose of his visit

because I assume you won't tell me.

If I had to justify it, I'd say that curiosity brought me here.

I believe in you,

and I hope you weren't disappointed.

This strange city

was founded by a group of Jews

who disobeyed the laws.

They took advantage of these caves that were created by an earthquake

busy for a long time and built a synagogue.

And you broke the law?

No, we don't break any laws.

Not even the criminal ones?

No. Here we live and work without feeling

the contempt and pity of the rest of of humanity

and we're happy.

Does Zachariah's presence bother you?

No, he's a good man.

Always absorbed in his work, we hardly noticed him.

Apparently, you wouldn't feel the same about your partner,

Professor Mantua.

I see that you know more about our lives

and our friendships

than I had assumed.

I'm happy,

it will be easier for you to familiarize yourself with all this.

You won't be short of time.

Do you think so?

Consider yourself my guest from now on.

Thank you.

One question, doctor.

Can you tell me what happened with Ines,

Professor Mantua's niece?

You're interested in the girl.

She's the person who brought you here.

Can you answer my question?

Of course.

At the moment she's in my salon at home.

Come in.

Enter this way.

Watch out.

Come in.

Malato.

Where is the lady?

She's in her room.

Ask her if she would to join us.

And what about that amusement park mirror?

An old whim that I'm now ashamed of.

I bought it before I resigned myself to being the way I am.

Go ahead and look.

It was a bit of vanity,

I laugh about it now.

Here she comes.

Ines, I was afraid I'd never see you again,

his disappearance frightened Bráulia and me!

It seems to me that you're afraid for no reason

and what's worse, with no rights.

But look...

Doctor, what is this about?

This young man must have thought you've been kidnapped.

I hope he convinces himself otherwise as soon as he spends some time with us.

Is he staying here?

It's convenient even if you disapprove.

I don't understand your attitude, Ines.

And I don't understand yours.

Excuse me, I'll get your room ready.

Don't worry, I intend to leave immediately.

Stay here.

You're very tired and the journey back is even more difficult.

To enter this underground area

it's much simpler and above all

much less dangerous than leaving.

I'm leaving and Inês is coming with me.

You have no right to talk like that!

Don't try too hard, my friend Basilio.

It's better if you spend the night.

I'll be right back. Have a seat.

Listen to me Ines, you shouldn't stay here

surrounded by these men, they were the ones who killed your uncle.

Impossible.

I don't know what force or curse keeps you among these shadows

but from the moment I saw you, I knew that the time would come

and that I would have to save him.

I know there's a way out we can escape.

I know the way out, but I'm staying.

It's up to you to go back to the city.

What is it, Ines, I don't understand.

I'm sure you're not pretending, though...

It would be better if you didn't bother me anymore.

You shouldn't have followed me here.

I came because I believed you were in danger,

I was afraid I'd never see you again...

and I realized that I love you, Ines.

I'm not leaving without you.

I don't care about your feelings.

Your room is ready.

It's late and time to rest.

But I...

You also need rest.

Go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow.

Besides, Ines had a day, hasn't she?

Yes, Doctor. Thank you very much.

Poor thing, she's very tired.

Malato,

take Mr. Basilio to his room.

Good night. See you tomorrow.

Could you answer a few questions for me?

Yes, but keep it down;

i'm still your friend,

if I could have prevented you from being him...

Don't worry, tell me, what is Ines doing here?

I don't know.

Today is the first day she's come.

Leonardo brought her, I suppose she was about to discover the entrance.

Will they let her out?

No, not yet.

First she has to her act.

What's that?

We have to commit a crime, a murder

to force her to keep the secret.

Will they let me out?

I doubt it.

It's not so easy to leave this place.

Dr. Mantua was here and managed to get out.

That's true, but Professor Mantua died before...

could talk about the existence of this city,

and Zachariah will never leave.

Got it, Malato.

Now forget what I said

and try to rest.

Have a good night.

Good evening.

Do you need anything?

No, thank you.

What's that?

Nothing.

the corridors are so dark...

Do you know this policeman named Martinez?

Yes, he's my friend, did something happen to him?

He had an accident.

And the scream? Who was that? Malato?

You're very nervous.

Lie down and rest.

Tomorrow you will see things with more optimistically.

See you tomorrow.

Ines, what's wrong with you?

Stop!

Another step and I'll shoot.

Come in.

Let her go.

Take it away.

Hold it!

I didn't know that you also forged money.

You're very inquisitive.

I would have preferred you been more reasonable,

but I see that you're set in your goals,

and I'm sorry.

Walk and don't try to escape.

- Where is the synagogue? - Did you become a Jew?

Where is the synagogue? where can I escape?

The synagogue is there

and the exit is behind the cupboard at the back!

Listen! You have to go down a spiral staircase!

I want you to search the corridors that lead to the church,

you climb the tower and see if you can see him escape.

You will check out the St. Rollo exit,

and let's check out the synagogue.

No, he hasn't been here,

he would have left a trail.

Stay here and be prepared in case he shows up, don't let him get away.

Wouldn't it be better if we were further down, in the synagogue?

Are you afraid?

No, I just think it would be better if we were lower down.

You're a bunch of cowards.

You will answer with your lives if you let it slip

Can we at least have the light?

I'll leave it there.

Are you afraid?

Yes, a little.

What about you?

I'm superstitious.

Look at that!

See how it moves!

Come with me!

It was a rat.

There's no reason to be afraid.

We mustn't lose our heads.

Listen to me! Listen to me!

Oh, Mother Mary, who are you?

Don't be afraid, ma'am, I'm not a ghost.

You're a... HELP, HELP!

What's going on?

Who are you?

He's a ghost!

No ma'am, I said I'm not a ghost.

- He's a dead man! - Not that either!

A man or a dead man...

Oh God, get me out of here and I'll tell you who I am!

Give me a minute, I'll tell the watchman.

Are you sure it's not a dead man?

Madam.

Try to stay calm.

The disappearance of the policeman will prompt the search for this city.

Without this, no one would believe Basilio's story.

It doesn't matter if they discover the of the first galleries.

Let them find out where the policeman fell,

that would be better.

so they would think it's a dead end.

What we have to do is blow up the rest of the galleries

starting at the entrance to the tower

and the corridors that lead to Professor Mantua's house.

We'll take care of the upstairs entrance, but who can make such a big one?

And the girl, they'll keep looking for her.

They should find her dead under the rubble.

All this is my problem.

They will follow my orders.

Destroy all the entrances to the city.

And the great gallery? It's very long!

Whoever explodes stays there.

I said it's my business.

You continue to live as best you can.

The girl must die, otherwise she's a danger.

Leave me alone.

They told me it was a prehistoric cave,

in ancient times, the Jews hid in it and built a city.

That's where they're counterfeiting the money.

Do you swear on your parents you're not drunk?

It's been many days since I drank alcohol.

Give me some men and I'll take them to the underground city.

There are many entrances and I know them.

If it's a trick, you know what will happen.

It's not a trick, they've kidnapped a woman whose life is in danger!

You say she lives in Paja Plaza?

Yes, there's a path that leads to the city from her house.

How long has the young woman been missing?

Since yesterday, everything I've told you happened overnight.

Well, let's go to that house together,

but if you lied to me

I guarantee you'll spend time underground.

Let's go.

Bráulia left early today but she left me left me the keys in case the milkman came.

It's all right, leave us here. These men are policemen.

This is the door to the library where she was when she was kidnapped.

Come along.

What's going on?

Oh, it's you!

I must have fallen asleep, my head hurts.

Why didn't you come last night?

But Ines, we were together last night.

Not last night, yesterday afternoon.

You said you'd come back and you never did.

I waited until I fell asleep.

You don't remember anything about the underground city, the knife?

The knife? I don't understand, what are you trying to say?

Who are these men?

They're policemen, I brought them to show them the entrance to the city.

Come with me.

This way.

There's nothing you've told us here.

I think so, you'll see.

Give it to me, sir.

This is heavy, but it can be moved.

This stone has never moved,

maybe you're wrong?

I repeat, behind this stone is the entrance to the city, you'll see.

It's too tight!

That seems to be enough.

I don't understand, last night I passed by!

Spend some time in the dark

will cure your need to fool the police.

This isn't a commissioner's trick, I assure you I don't know what happened.

Nothing that has happened recently makes sense.

You'll have time to think about it in prison.

Please forgive him, Commissioner,

this young man is helping me with some archaeological studies

related to the death of a relative of mine.

It's likely that he suffered a hallucination from working too much.

What he did was drink too much.

- I didn't drink! - Maybe you're right, Commissioner.

But Ines, I swear I didn't drink, you know that...

In any case, please, forgive him, Mr. Commissioner,

I know him and he wouldn't have done that on purpose.

I should arrest him now

but I'm not going to because of you, miss.

Thank you very much, Commissioner but I assure you...

Enough!

If you mention the underground city again,

I'm going to arrest him immediately.

Gatekeeper, accompany the men.

The commissioner was right,

a man as hard-working and imaginative man like you shouldn't drink.

Do you still say that?

Is it possible that you don't remember last night?

You can stop now, the commissioner has left.

I'll keep looking, the deaths of your uncle and my friend will not go unpunished.

But let's not talk about that now.

Try to remember, Ines,

remember, you were in power of Sabatino,

you tried to kill me.

Did I try to kill you?

Yes, and then you fainted, I took you in my arms arms and tried to run away, and they caught me.

I had to flee alone.

Basilio, I'm starting to worried about you.

Everything you're telling me is a product of your imagination.

It's the truth, I'll find the words to make you remember what happened.

There was a time when your coldness made me desperate.

What are you saying?

I told him about love, I said I was crazy about you

Does that remind you of anything?

I don't know.

Maybe.

The only thing I remember is...

something like a dream.

This time it wasn't a dream, it was solid and real, a tangible

and love defined throughout this fantastic night

only got stronger.

I love you, Ines, I love you.

Oh, Basilio!

Basilio, Sabatino is dead,

now I'm going to settle the score.

Professor!

What are you saying? is this more of your madness?

That might not be so bad,

I think my madness brought me happiness.

What are you doing?

If it's alive, you can kiss it,

I hope you don't find it too inconvenient.

Not at all.

It's all right, Basil, everything is fine!
