THE CASTLE OF PURITY

STRYCHNINE

FAST RODENTICIDE VULCANO 214

I'm done. Can I help?

Silence. Don't interrupt. No talking during work.

You stay here for an hour, Voluntad.

Beatriz, someone touched my things.

No one goes into your room, Gabriel.

You're the only one with a key.

Porvenir, were you in my room?

No, I wasn't.

Then was Utopia.

No, Dad, I haven't even gone upstairs.

Make me the statue of joy.

- Make the statue of death. - Oh, no, no, not that one!

- Yeah, that one, that one! - You'd better do the statue of war, Mom.

No, it's my turn to set the penalty!

Make the death.

Hey!

Don't waste your time. In that house, a man lives on his own, and he went out early.

Oh, excuse me!

Here, go hang it up.

- Everything all right? - Yes, Dad.

Can I come in?

I've brought you a gift.

Come. Sit with me.

- Sniff. You like it? - Yes.

This cream is great for hands. Try some.

Here, let me apply a little bit of this lotion.

I'll be downstairs.

Gabriel...

thank you very much.

Thank you, Jesus.

Give me some bread.

You didn't dry your hands.

Talking during the food is unwise.

And one, two, three, four...

five, six, seven, eight.

Eight, seven, six, five...

four, three, two, one.

And one, two, three, four...

five, six, seven, eight.

Eight, seven, six, five...

four, three, two, one.

- I want some water. - Wait.

Well, next exercise.

Why else would you want to see the sea?

Don't repeat it, because dad gets mad.

I'll tell Mom to take us.

Why do you say that, when you know you've never been outside and you never will be.

Anyway, I want to see the sea.

Do you remember? Mom told us. She says it's very nice.

But it's bad outside.

Outside is ugly.

"And the sun goddess, worthy, hurt, and sad...

"Got into a cave... nest..."

Nested.

"...Nestled in the foothills of a 'lorge' mountain."

Large.

"...Large mountain, and once in the cave, hoping to forget the world...

"and the ingratitude of her husband, closed the entrance with a huge stone...

"Very heavy.

"With the help of some invisible pages...

"riding on screamingly fast rays pro... ceding..."

Proceeding.

"...PROCEDING from the king star."

- What is the king star? - The sun.

That's enough reading. Tell us something.

What do you want me to tell them?

Things.

When I was Voluntad's age, every afternoon I'd play in the river.

We made paper boats, like those Porvenir knows how to make.

- Make me one. - Wait.

Then once they brought some bulls, and suddenly one got loose and...

What are bulls like?

Like you saw in your picture book, those animals with horns...

very nice but very brave.

Are they eaten?

By people who eat meat, yes. We do not.

What did the bull do?

He chased me. I screamed bloody murder and ran like the devil was after me.

- But he didn't catch you? - No. They gunned him down.

Come sit down.

- Have you studied the maxims? - Yes.

Let's see... the one by Goethe.

"The man of strong will molds the world to his liking." Goethe.

Very good.

The one by Ellis.

"To lead men, one must turn his back on humanity." Ellis.

I don't understand.

This means that if you're going to rise above people...

you shouldn't live like they do...

but you should live according to the right...

so then you learn how to set an example.

- Yes. - Quit yawning, I'm talking!

- Got it? - Yes, Dad.

The one by Chesterton.

"All men are ordinary men...

"The extraordinary ones are those who are sure of being so."

Chesterton.

- Go to your room. - Yes, Dad.

Don't move, sonny.

I can cut you badly.

You should hold my head.

Your hair is beautiful.

It's grown very thick.

Look, this is from your very first haircut.

Touch it, see how soft it is.

Don't mess.

- This is from Utopia. - Let me see.

That of Porvenir is nicer.

- What about me? - Here's yours, but don't touch.

- Don't move. - Don't move.

- What did you say? - I didn't say anything.

Oh, my love!

My love, my love!

The children are downstairs, they can hear us.

With you it's always the same. You just think of yourself. You have no right.

Please Gabriel! Come on.

You always had your fill of men.

The whole time you're thinking about them even as you pretend to think about nothing.

- Go to the kitchen. - The meal's all ready.

Then go clean the equipment.

- I'm hunger. Bring my food to my room. - Yes, Dad.

He's mad again.

The break's over. Go back to the workshop.

Can you imagine how many dead corpses would fit in this room?

You didn't eat anything.

No, I'm disgusted. There are millions of rats everywhere. They don't die off anymore.

We must make more potent rodenticides.

Rats aren't eating what I'm giving them.

Somehow, they warn each other of the danger.

But there is one thing: rats and mice hate each other.

Can you imagine giving them something to drive them crazy so they'll attack and kill each other?

Because millions more are born every day.

The newborn females are knocked up even before leaving the nest.

If they were fighting or eating their children they wouldn't have time to reproduce.

It's instinct. Beasts only seek pleasure...

and by reproducing they perpetuate their horror and nastiness.

It is a sequence that will only end with the end of time.

And people are the same.

I learned to know men by studying rats.

They are the same!

That's why I don't want you to have any contact with the world.

It is better to remain locked up here with my rats...

than to deal with the best that's out there.

Why are you saying that? You shouldn't talk like that. You can't compare people with rats.

Besides, you've always loved your children very much.

Yes, but they're different.

Why wouldn't they be, since they have never left this house? Don't you realize?

We've been 18 years without leaving here.

In 18 years we've never even seen the street.

Do you dare to complain?

On the contrary, I've always been very happy with you.

There's nothing better than living with a man like you. I don't need anything else.

These 18 years have been wonderful.

You're my whole life. I don't need go outside.

Do you remember when we came to this house? Utopia was newborn.

Voluntad and Porvenir have never seen what it's like outside.

There's no other way around it.

Had it not been for that, who knows what would have become of us.

You knew the world. You know what it is.

And I see it when I go out.

The decision was good.

The proof is that the children are safe, pure, happy...

Instead, in the world they would have already been corrupted.

Can you imagine Utopia out there?

Poor thing!

What a miracle! Don Gabriel, good to see you!

Well, I'm here, as always, bothering you.

How are things, how do you feel this weather in your bones, Maria Luisa?

The same. Old people have no choice.

Don't say that, Do�a Maria Luisa, you'll bury us all!

How many bags should we leave you?

Let's see...? A dozen and a half, please.

A dozen, nothing more. We still have a few from the last time.

Hey, let's see...

The lady will wait on you.

And 12.

Here you are.

Thank you very much.

May things keep going well.

How many will you want?

No... this... do you know?

You'll forgive me, Mr. Lima, but I won't be able to take any more.

It's just that... look, Mr. Lima, it pays me more. They ask for it a lot, because of the advertising.

But that is crap! Don't you see that?

My product is better because it's not industrialized, it's crafted. See?

That stuff wouldn't hurt a fly.

Also... don't you see... they're in polyethylene bags.

You know that's an indestructible material?

It will be in the dumps until the end of time!

I'm really sorry, Mr. Lima.

- Let's start the game. - Are you done?

- Yes. - Well, let's go.

Well. One, two, three.

Now.

- I'll catch you, Voluntad! - No!

I've caught you! Now I'm going for you, Utopia!

Utopia, now, now, Utopia!

- Would you blindfold me? - No!

Enough, now! Utopia, come help me!

Your dad doesn't like you to read things he doesn't give you.

If he finds it, he'll be mad.

Stay here. I'll be right back.

I'm going to my room.

One moment, please, Don Gabriel.

We missed you, Don Gabriel. Right?

- Would you like your usual dozen? - Why not, Don Gabriel!

- Excuse me, Don Gabriel. - Of course.

I need to see you alone. It's for your own good.

I want you to go to bed with me. I'll pay.

Are you crazy?

Just let my mom find out and you'll see. Right?

Here you are. Count it.

I have something to tell you. You won't get angry?

What?

Take care of your daughter. She's very flirty.

What did you say?

- She's very flirty! - What?

She made a pass at me.

Really?

I wouldn't say it if it weren't true. I never lie.

Keep an eye on her, ma'am. A close eye. She could go astray.

Thanks, Don Gabriel.

They grabbed him first!

You're coming with me, I'll take you to a place only I know!

We got him, we got him, we got him!

- I'm glad you came back! - I want to be quiet.

My dad's home, my dad's home!

- Accommodate everything as it was. - Yes, Dad.

- We're going to starve to death. - What?

Nobody wants to buy the product.

They say they profit better from the crappy stuff made at factories.

Don't worry, ours is better.

Well, it mustn't really be better, since they don't ask for it anymore.

- Gabriel... - We're going to starve, I say.

Tomorrow shorten the food rations.

And in this house is going to use fewer lights, and all those luxuries.

Also say goodbye to cosmetics.

But I wear it to please you!

We'll starve, you'll see!

Don't be like that. Don't worry.

I'm sure that won't happen.

I'm tired. I don't want to work.

No, no, we need to hurry. We're short 100 bags.

What were the men like who you had before me?

You never told me exactly how many were.

Please, Gabriel, don't start!

This conversation always ends badly.

Be advised that not knowing is worse!

Gabriel, you know everything about me, while I know nothing.

I'll kill you. I'll kill you!

Your mother tried to hurt herself with the knife.

I had to take it away.

Don't say anything to your brother or sister.

Sorry!

Forgive me, Beatrice!

You have to help me.

I have a lot of fear!

Don't be afraid. I love you, Gabriel.

I don't mind never stepping outside. Do you think that for any other man...

I'd have endured years of imprisonment?

How many people will there be in 2000?

7 billion.

Very well.

How many children die of hunger every year?

3� million.

As the number of people rises, there'll be more crime and vice.

It's natural.

People don't know how to live together.

Everything's evil...

and it's going to get worse.

Can I turn on the light?

Yes.

"Birth of the Grand Celtic.

"Under ominous shadows was born the king. He'll be greatly feared by all in the world.

"His very old breed will be reborn on him, and he'll turn his bronze age into a gold one."

It means that this king will rule with patience and kindness.

"He will give new fame to his race.

"Thanks to his teachings, the bronze age...

"i.e. the time of violence and war...

"will turn into an era of prosperity...

"The Golden Age.

"The bronze doors he will open by force.

"The king will demolish the temple of war.

"He will not use citadels or forts anymore.

"The world will find peace under his guidance."

This is more understandable.

"The big city will get desert-like.

"Those who have inhabited it all will be dead.

"Its streets destroyed by looting and rape...

"and its temples turned into ruins because of desecration."

Nostradamus had it very clear what is happening today.

You can go to sleep now.

We'll stay up working for a while.

Until tomorrow, Dad.

- See you tomorrow, Mom. - Good night.

Good night.

Sleep well.

"Dear Mr. Minister,

"I waited for a month for your response in vain.

"I guess you didn't reply...

"because my enemies have come to tell you that there is a serious contradiction

"between my ideas and my personal life and work.

"Why, since I defend the existence of life in all its forms...

"do I earn my bread by making rat poison?

- "I earn the bread"... - Making rat poison.

"Well, I will answer: there is no contradiction.

"Rats are enemies of humankind.

"They destroy our crops...

"plunder our granaries...

"transmit diseases...

"and have even devoured children.

"Thus, they must be totally annihilated by the strongest.

"Their only real strength...

"like all weaklings,

"lies in their enormous reproductive capacity.

"There should be no mercy.

"It is a matter of life and death."

Gotcha!

Ay, ay!

Oh!

- Ay, ay, ay! - You'll fall!

"And only with this inexorable power can we avert the final catastrophe.

"Sincerely, your servant greets you: Gabriel Lima J."

Correct.

I'm very tired.

Very nice, the letter you dictated to me!

I think that now I'll get an answer.

Your thoughts are extraordinary.

What you say is true.

Hopefully everything will work together to let people know who you are.

Now go to bed.

Gabriel. What are you doing?

Nothing, an experiment.

They've been knocking on the door for a while.

I'll go.

Don Gabriel, I thought you mightn't be in.

Excuse me, Mr. Inspector, I didn't hear you, there's a lot of noise.

Come in, come in.

Listen, this house needs restoration work.

Why not call in some masons?

No. I'll handle it personally.

Well, be careful, because it's dangerous.

With these rains...

these old houses can collapse.

A gentleman.

Hello. How are you? What can you tell me?

Good morning.

Here are the papers.

Let's see...

You know that things have become very hard and I don't know if I can continue to authorize your product.

What do you mean? With you I've never had any problems.

My papers are all in order.

Yes, but you can see how things are going, man.

What things?

Hey, isn't it dangerous to have so many rats?

All vaccinated.

Ah, thank goodness!

Don't you fear them?

I'm used to them.

See here? It says: "I authorize" or "not authorized"?

Uh... yeah, authorize it.

Well, for the record: because you say so.

The license is 47.50.

Show me your sales permit.

- Ah... it's processing, right? - Yes.

Thanks, engineer.

Can I have some to test in the labs?

Why not? Take whatever you want.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Miss. Nice to meet you.

- Shameless hussy! - No, no, no! No!

No, Daddy, no!

No!

Gabriel!

Leave her alone! Stop, don't be crazy!

Are you aware of what you do?

Stay out of this, I know what I'm doing! It's for her own good!

You think it's for her own good! Look at what you do with your kids!

They aren't my children if they behave that way! You're against me! I have given you everything!

Well, look what you've done!

I'll kill all of you!

Poor thing, my little girl, my love!

Tell me what happened.

I don't know, Mom, I don't know.

Don't cry, my love.

Now calm down.

I don't want him to hit me!

Don't cry. You'll be more beautiful.

Look in the mirror.

See?

That's how I brushed my hair when I met your father.

So who could have imagined all this?

He came to my house to visit and we spent hours talking.

He said to me: "When we marry, we will have many children, and our family will be like no other."

The truth is that he's very affectionate with me.

I do what he says because I know it is for our own good...

but he shouldn't have put a hand on you.

You're so young!

Gabriel has changed so much. He's very strange.

Sometimes even I get scared of him.

Two meat tacos, please.

- With or without chili peppers? - With chili.

Thank you.

They were knocking for a long time.

- You did not see who it was? - No.

Ah! It must have been the one who comes to check the water meter.

I told him never to come after nine in the morning because no one's home.

Summon the children. I have a surprise.

I brought these toys. Check them out.

I won't hand them over now, but in a few days, so they'll be more enjoyable.

They are very nice, Dad. Thank you.

You didn't bring me a shovel?

No, but I bought other animal picture books.

Thanks, Dad.

I have to say something.

From this morning in this house there will be no more scolding.

I want everyone to get along.

- Gabriel. - Yes.

The garbage truck is passing by.

I'm going with you!

Beat it, girl!

Get inside!

Thank you.

Wait for me in the room!

Moron! Why did you let them step outside? Fuck!

Please, Gabriel!

- You... you're just like your mother! - Why? Why?!

As soon as I turned my back she headed for the street!

You can't live in this house!

You're to blame for it all, it's your fault!

I wanted to save them from the world and I couldn't.

It's your heritage!

But Gabriel, surely nothing has happened!

Sit there.

I married you out of compassion.

You always gave me a pity! I never felt anything else towards you!

It's all your fault!

They're never going to get away with it!

Go take a bath.

Voluntad!

Voluntad!

She's not here. What do you want?

Tell her to bring me the towel.

I'll lend you mine.

Wait.

OK. Throw it to me.

Sinners! Dogs! Disgusting! Pigs!

Disgraceful!

- No, Daddy! - Bastard!

Pigs!

Disgusting!

Bastards! Bastards!

How you play with me! Disgraceful sinners!

Pig!

Disgusting!

Bastard! I won't tolerate this!

You'll see! Filth!

Pig! You'll see!

- Don't touch him! - Get lost!

- You have no right! - What do you mean?!

Calm down! I'm sure they haven't done anything wrong.

Nothing wrong? They're worse than rats!

- Gabriel! - Get out!

- You have no right! - What do you mean?!

Now you'll see!

Now you'll see!

Look what you've done. Look!

Calm down, please, Gabriel!

It's all your fault.

It's your fault.

Look what you've done!

You wrecked everything.

It's your fault.

The game is up.

I failed.

Nobody ever understood me, no one, not even you.

No, Gabriel, everything will be all right.

It had to happen.

You never wanted to talk about those things.

But they are small children...

and they love you as much as I do.

I've always loved you, Gabriel.

Do you remember when we were dating and we went out to the field?

Everything was so nice!

You were always happy.

No?

They were good times.

You looked at me, you said:...

"We have to live without anyone getting into our life."

And everything went well.

But I knew something was going to happen.

You never though how things might change over time.

Everything has changed.

I carried out your will for my children.

For them and for the peace that was in this house, the peace that you don't see, nor understand, nor even appreciate.

But you know that I love you so much that you take advantage of me.

Let's see, give him this, it's new.

With both hands.

- Done, Dad. - OK, let it alone.

Do rats eat meat?

Yes. Only such animals eat meat.

What does it taste like?

Like blood. Horrible.

OK.

He's dead, Dad.

Look, Voluntad, someday we'll make traps like these.

It's called "The Castle".

I saw it in a German magazine a while ago, but I've perfected it.

It's like a snail.

The rat enters through this door that no longer exits.

Get to the center where there's a piece of cheese.

When going to eat it, the floor sinks.

Then the rat falls into a pot of water and dies.

They can drown up to 10 every night.

It's very nice.

Here. You can let them out.

Hang it up.

I don't like this. It has lots of garlic.

From now on, Utopia is always far from her brother!

She'll sleep with the light on, and when I hit the street, she'll stay locked in her room!

Women are to blame for everything!

Because of you! I was weak only because of you!

You made them disobey me! You set it all up!

It's your fault!

I'll kill you all!

Here.

Take this to my room.

What did he say?

Nothing.

He didn't talk to me.

But I'm very scared. I've never seen him like this.

What you did isn't right, you should try to understand.

Don't be afraid, I'm on your side.

You know I love you above all others, right?

Hardly. You love my dad more.

You remind me so much of how he was! Yet you are so different.

I liked how it was outside like.

Outside?

Yes.

Is that sugar?

Yes.

Eat a bit.

Sure.

- I love you, Porvenir. - I love you, too, Mom.

"Help."

No better, "Please help me".

Yes, that's right.

"My dad has locked us up...

"ever since we were kids...

"And now he wants to kill us.

"We live in Merselle 99. Come soon.

"Utopia..."

Gabriel??

I'm back from being with a girl...

very young.

And, yes, she was a virgin, not like you!

It's clear why here purity never existed!

These are all lies. Why do you say that?

You have no right.

I've been nothing but faithful and tolerant to you.

I did everything you wanted, I always conformed to your wishes.

But still I gave to live with the things you invent about me.

I can't anymore, and I won't tolerate it!

- But what's wrong? - What do you mean "what's wrong"? How dare you?

Leave me alone, leave me alone.

Get out of my room this instant!

My love!

Don't be like this, my love, don't be like this.

Beatriz, my love, what's your problem? What's wrong? What's wrong with you?

Beatriz, I love you very much.

I love you very much, Beatrice!

Daughter, don't be angry.

Tell me what you want me to get you to make you happy.

No, Dad, I'm not mad.

Yes, yes, you are. I know, but you're very nice and soon you'll cheer up.

Utopia, could you pass the tub?

I told you I don't want you to touch him!

No, Daddy!

- No, Daddy! - Gabriel!

Gabriel, don't be cruel!

Gabriel, no!

I'll lock you up.

And this time you'll get no water!

You saw it, he hit me!

Do you realize? He hit me!

You're all also to blame.

You won't get away with it.

You're going to die!

Utopia.

Let him out.

Put a rat in to drown.

No.

They know how to swim.

Really?

Of course, all animals swim.

Come along.

Utopia!

Utopia!

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

I'm just as scared as you are.

I don't understand, don't know what to do, but we must have patience.

He will quiet down.

We've always been very happy.

I really don't understand. He's never behaved like this.

- He's gone crazy. - He's gone crazy. He's bad.

No, he's not bad. He's very nice.

He loves you.

I don't love him anymore.

Get to know how people are. Listen to this:...

"The Detroit Zoo, Michigan...

"has had to hire four more guards...

"to protect animals from attacks by visitors.

"The cruelty that zoo goers boast of...

"often cause the death of these animals.

"A baby kangaroo was shot with stones.

"A duck had an arrow pierce him.

"The hippo, who expected a treat...

"was thrown a rubber ball which suffocated it.

"Into the eagles' cage, they threw poisoned meat.

- "Employees at the zoo..." - Dad.

Don't interrupt.

Dad, I can go to the bathroom?

- You have your times for that. - It's something else.

Go on.

"The zoo employees don't know how to end this situation.

"It is expected that local authorities will take action on the matter...

"because otherwise the future of the zoo will be in jeopardy."

Careful, careful, don't go for the kill.

They won't die. They'll swim.

- Let me soak it. - No, no.

- Yeah, let me! - No, Voluntad.

Do you know? With hair like that, you look like a lady.

You're very cute.

My eyes are burning.

It must be dust from the mat.

I just slept very badly.

What's bothering you?

I'm so scared.

Why, my love? What's wrong?

I've sworn not to say.

You've always told me everything.

I shopped my dad.

What?

I've informed on him to the police.

What are you saying?

I sent a letter to the police, telling all.

To the police?

I said he was going to kill us.

But, my love, why did you do that?

Because I'm scared to death, Mom.

Don't be afraid. It's okay.

You see how happy we are! Besides you have me, I protect you.

Don't be afraid.

Police!

My God, what have you done!

Utopia?

What is it, my dear?

My love!

She just feels bad.

You, too?

What is it, Beatriz?

Tell me, please, what's wrong?

I don't know.

How are you, Miss?

Nice to see you.

My mom's not here.

Never mind. I'll leave things and then she'll pay me.

Are you Mr. Gabriel Lima?

At your service.

You want to show your permit to sell this product?

I didn't bring it along. Since I've never been asked...

- But you have one. - Naturally, I just left it at home.

If you'd like to accompany me, I'll gladly show you.

Very well.

Besides, sir, it was reported that the Vulcan 214 contains strychnine. That's prohibited.

I have a special permit. The director is a close friend of mine.

Hey, what about the bags?

I'll be right back.

Wait here for a moment, please.

We have to go with you.

- I'm telling you to wait! - Don't yell at me, sir.

You can't tell me what I have to do, let alone in my own home.

Obey, now. Fast.

- Morons! You don't know what you're doing! - Wait. I'm going.

Police!

The message is a lie! Go away, please!

He didn't want lock us up, he did everything so nothing would happen to my children.

Go away!

What's all this? What do you mean?

- He locks us in. He has the key. - I did nothing.

- Out, out, out of my house! - Hold it, man.

- If he puts a hand on me, I'll kill him! - Leave him alone!

Come. Come over here!

I'm up here! Open up!

Please!

Get in.

Go away, or I kill my whole family! Out!

- Bring the patrol. - Out, get out of here, this is my house!

I don't want to live here!

- Get out, get out! - The police up here!

Out, out of my house!

- Open up! - Fast!

- Get me out! - You, get the chair, go on.

You, Voluntad! Fast!

You, the lamp.

The lamp, quick!

Hurry!

Put it there.

On the ground. Down! Shut up!

Wait. Do nothing. He's deranged.

If you don't get out of this house, I'll kill my whole family!

You're just crazy, don't be stupid!

You'll be killing them! No one moves from here. Go away!

This is my house!

Here I am! Get me out of here!

Please!

Don't leave me, please, let me out!

Quiet, quiet!

Go, get the fire extinguisher.

Get me out, please!

Here I am! Here I am!

Get me out of here!

Nobody move, or they all die!

I'm up here, police, please!

Get out, take them out, please! Get out!

Out, out, out!

No!

Can't they see?

Give it to me!

Out! Get out of my house!

Out! Out!

Bastards!

Out!

- Did you get my message? - Message?

Get out of my house! Out of my castle!

Out! Out!

- No, no! - Out!

Dad!

No!

No, Daddy!

Don't touch him!

- I can't go on anymore! - Gabriel!

Gabriel!

- Do not touch him! - Stop! What's happening, Mom?

I love you, Gabriel!
