Original subtitles

Excuse me, can I sit here? Where I am I only see the back.

Ahead.

Thank you.

Good group, right?

I would like to hear them, please.

I am sorry.

- Great music, right? - Yes I like it.

Do you mind if I buy you a drink?

- No thanks. - I would like to do it.

No thanks.

- Who was that woman? - I do not know.

- What did he said? - Nothing. Will you pay me the bill? Thank you.

Wait.

- Hello. - Because you follow me?

You left very quickly and I do not know how to contact you.

- I would like to see you again. - It's not possible.

Wait.

Let me talk to you for a while.

I just want to go with you.

You should not be alone on such a night.

- Am I safe with you? Yes.

I know that woman has disturbed you. Maybe you want to talk to someone.

Come on. Is it around here?

Agree?

TIOVIVO 15 CENTS

This is where I live.

It's a merry-go-round!

Do you live inside a wooden horse?

Do not.

My apartment is up there.

It must be very noisy, with the merry-go-round underneath.

Sometimes.

But I love music.

- It reminds me... - Childhood?

Yes.

Good...

- Goodnight. - Wait.

I do not even know your name. My name is Johnny.

My name is Mora.

Are not you going to invite me up for a while?

- I gotta get in. - Just a moment.

Good night, Johnny.

Hey, Mora.

Can I see you tomorrow?

Please.

Agree.

I'll cook you breakfast.

OK what time?

About eleven?

I'll be here at eleven.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

- Good Morning. - Good Morning.

- Is the merry-go-round open? - So is.

Sunday is our big day.

What beautiful horses. Can I see them?

- Of course. Go ahead, son. - Thank you.

Watching is free.

They are carved by hand.

Shipped from Bavaria.

Most people do not appreciate how special they are.

They are the best in the country.

- Good morning, Grandpa. - Good morning, Ellen.

He showed this young man our magnificent horses.

Sorry... She's my granddaughter, Ellen.

- What's your name, son? - Johnny Drake, how's it going?

- Do you have the key to the box? - Yes, I have it somewhere.

Fine thanks.

I have to go upstairs. See you around.

- Precious horses. - Who are you going to visit?

- A girl named Mora. - To Mora?

I have not seen you here before.

Did you just meet her, or something?

No, I've known her for a while.

See you around.

Good... See you soon, son.

Yes...

- Yes? Who? - It's me, Johnny.

- Good Morning. - Good Morning.

- Pass. - Thank you.

How are you?

- Very good. - All right.

- Your house is very good. - Thank you.

I collect things from the sea.

I can see that.

- Can I have your hat? - Thank you.

Are you hungry?

- A lot. - All right.

Breakfast is ready. I have it on the balcony.

- All right. - Come on.

- Where is the balcony? - This way.

- Blackberry! - Yes?

You have great views.

Thank you. I love them.

- Toast. - Agree.

Atu salud, mine...

And the beautiful Pacific.

For us, Johnny.

I hope you like the fish

This morning I found this mackerel so fresh.

I love everything that comes from the ocean,

Especially the lobster, the crab and the sea urchin.

- Have you tried the sea urchin? - Never.

It's like a wonderful sea fruit.

- It is eaten like a grenade. - I would like to try it.

They do not abound around here, but I think I know where to get them.

- Next time, maybe? - Agree.

What do you do?

- I mean, if you work. - If I work.

- In fact, today I have to work. - On Sunday?

What is your job?

Did not my name ring when I told you?

Do not.

I work at the dock fair.

- I'm an attraction. - You are a dancer?

Do not.

Do baseball balls hit you?

- Yes? - Do not.

My work is not dangerous.

I give up, what are you doing?

I'm a mermaid.

Are you what?

A mermaid, half woman, half fish.

I do not get it.

It's very simple.

I get a fish tail

And I'm in a tank that looks full of water.

And people pay 25 cents to see me.

This is how I make a living.

Do not you get tired of doing that?

Sometimes.

But it's a very quiet job.

I've told you about me, what about you?

I am a member of the US Navy.

Do you really want to know?

Yes. - Good...

My mother...

My father abandoned my mother when I was very young.

So I was very close to her.

I had always wanted to see the world and I did not have the opportunity.

Then my mother fell ill and...

died.

And I thought the best way out of Denver was the Navy.

See the world.

- But for the moment I have not seen anything. - You will see.

I hope so.

- Are you going to finish your meal? - Do not.

They are attracted to the food on your plate.

Look at that.

Watch them.

One will come to you.

They are becoming more and more daring.

I will not hurt you.

"I surprised you, did not I?" - Where did you learn to do that?

I do not remember.

Probably on the island where I was born.

Calm calm. Do not be afraid, little bird.

I will not hurt you.

Sweet bird, do not be afraid.

- I like them. - Look! My poster.

- Are you supposed to be? - Yes, when I wear my disguise.

Wow, this I have to see.

You will see.

- Where's Sam? - Who's Sam?

The owner of the attraction. My boss, as you would say.

- Are not you afraid people will see you? - Do not.

They do not pay attention to the booth until Sam releases his tirade.

"I hired you, Captain Murdock. - I apologize.

I was thinking, my dear...

Yes, I was meditating on certain important issues

In the calm of a summer afternoon.

- Why are you so late? - It's not too late either.

Go prepare.

Yes, but first I want to introduce you to a friend.

This is Johnny Drake. Captain Murdock.

- Charmed. - How are you.

Be prepared while the amplifier heats up.

- I'm going to get dressed, I'll let you know. - Do not delay.

Do not.

How hot it is today, huh?

Yes a lot.

That attraction should leave you well shaken. Have you climbed on it?

No, I have enough to see her all day.

Tell me, young man...

How long have you been sailing the seas?

Very little, as far as I've gone is Hawaii.

- I'm destined for San Pedro. - It's a shame.

I thought we could remember, exchange stories of sailors.

I am retired but I was in the service of His Majesty.

- You mean the British navy? - That's right, the British navy.

Later, I was captain of my own boat.

So I found it, on one of my trips.

- You mean Mora? - Yes, I may have told you.

No, he just told me something about an island.

You may be interested in that story. It is very rare.

I would like you to visit me sometime.

Maybe some weekend where you have permission.

Yes, there is no hurry.

Look, I'll give you my card.

I am currently in Venice.

It lacks the grandeur of its Italian homonym, but it has its charm.

Captain Samuel Murdock. Yes.

I'm ready, Johnny!

- Well, we'll see you around. - Yes Yes.

- Bye. - Bye.

Mora, ladies and gentlemen, Mora the mermaid.

Look at the strangest creature that lives in captivity.

See how he lives underwater.

Half woman, half fish.

The strangest creature that lives in captivity. For 25 cents.

For a quarter of a dollar. The experience of your life.

Only 25 cents. The mermaid...

The bus coming from San Pedro, Wilmington, Long Beach and Los Angeles

Arrives at the moment to the door 1.

Santa Monica Station.

Goodnight.

- You are going to sleep? - Do not.

- You do not want to go swimming? - I'll go later.

If I go now, my digestion will be cut off.

- I've never believed such a thing. - Well, it's true.

It is very dangerous to get into the water right after eating.

Can.

- Mora, what about this Sam? - Sam?

Yes.

Nothing, what do you mean?

I mean, what's the story? Who?

You've been thinking about him, have not you?

Let's say yes.

I thought he was a weird old man.

He's just a lonely old man.

Do you know him well?

Quite.

He is my employer.

Sometimes I think he's my only friend.

What about me?

You, of course.

You do not know me much.

Maybe when you get to know me...

I think I know you pretty well.

In our third meeting?

No. But I would like you to know me better.

That does not scare me.

Why should I give it to you?

Tell me, did Sam tell you anything about me?

That he found you on an island.

So is.

I was an orphan on the island of Mykonos.

She was just a child, and he adopted me.

- You mean it's you...? - My guardian.

He's been like a father to me, I owe him everything.

Sorry, I had not noticed.

If I said something unkind about him, I'm sorry.

Nothing happens.

I know he's a strange man.

But he has been very good to me, and I am grateful.

And I know you can understand it from what you told me about your mother.

- Do you want more coffee? - I would love to.

- You like the sun, huh? Yes.

Sun...

And the moon and the stars...

And the sea.

Yes, the sea.

I think that's what I like most of all.

And I fear it too.

I guess we all fear what we love.

- Hey, Mora. - Yes?

You're awfully far away.

Hey, Mora, do you want to dance for us?

- Johnny... - You're good?

- I'm fine. - Stay a little like this, it's okay.

- You're good? Yes.

Can you throw a little back?

- You're good? Yes.

It was for that woman, right?

What woman?

- Your coffee, Grandpa. - Thanks sweetie.

- Hello! - Hello, how are you?

- Thank you dear. - We're having tea, will you?

I was going to have a coffee.

Take it here, I said tea, but I've also made coffee.

Madame Romanovitch is the only one who drinks tea.

What's up, boy?

- Hello, how are you? - Very good.

- I'm glad. - Sit down, young man.

What an appalling invention, tea bags.

If everyone insisted on using them,

I could never read the grounds again, would I, young man?

- I suppose not. - In my case, it does not matter.

I can not read my own grounds either.

Guessors can never. You can see the ones from all over the world,

But not their own.

- Sometimes frustrating. - It must be.

- The coffee. - Thank you.

How long have you been in the Navy?

A little more than a year.

What part of the country are you from?

I'm from Denver, Colorado.

- I've never been to the coast. - Then you're a visitor here.

Yes, I suppose I am.

I like this.

When I leave the Navy, I would like to settle here.

- Hello friends. - Hello.

Grandfather, it's Lieutenant Henderson.

Hello, how are you, Lieutenant?

- All right. - Would you like a cup of coffee?

No thanks, I can not stay.

You have not seen anything new or strange, have you?

- Not me, and you, Grandpa? - Do not.

How are you, Lieutenant?

Do you have new leads?

Can.

We are not sure yet.

We do not have much.

It's good to know that they have not given up.

Well, I have to go.

- See you soon. - Bye, Lieutenant.

Bye.

What was this about?

It was Lieutenant Henderson, of the Venice police.

I was asking about Mora.

What about Mora?

- You're a stranger and I suppose not... - Ellen, my dear.

You're meddling.

But I think someone should tell you, right, Grandpa?

Of course. It's no secret.

In the last two years, Mora has had two boyfriends who have died.

And the police think she has something to do?

- Nothing has been tested. - Not yet.

But do not you think it's enough that it happened twice?

They were both good guys.

They went out with her.

And suddenly they disappeared.

A few days later, they found their corpses.

The current dragged them to shore, drowned.

But nothing indicates that it was not an unfortunate coincidence.

The police have not been able to arrest anyone.

Either it was her, or it brings bad luck, which is almost as bad.

I'm sure he did not tell you about those kids, did not he?

Say it? It's the merry-go-round.

We want to get on the merry-go-round.

Agree. I'll be right back.

I waited. Hey, sailor.

Is for you.

Thats weird. No one knows I'm here.

Say it?

Say it?

Say it?

Who was?

I do not know.

Something has come out for me, I have to go. Thanks for the coffee.

Wait a minute, young man!

Come and see me.

The letters will tell you many things.

Have you seen a woman pass by?

Well, what a joyful surprise. Ahead.

Good...

You have finally decided to honor me with your visit.

Yes, we were talking about my prot�g�.

Good...

What I have to tell you is difficult to explain, especially to a young man.

I feel that young people today form their views on life

Too soon, and it should not be so.

But you may be different.

What was he going to tell me about Mora?

Oh, Lord, you may not be different.

Patience is a virtue, young man, you should learn that.

But in fact...

What I have to say is difficult to express.

At least in a way that you can understand.

In any case, the basic fact can be expressed bluntly.

As long as you continue to see Mora, you are in grave danger.

- The danger comes from you? - Absolutely.

- Then what are you talking about? - De Mora, my friend.

- He must be crazy. - On the contrary, I am well sane.

Mora is a danger to you.

How?

Good...

Let's say...

Suffers a certain obsession

- that can lead to killing you. "You mean she's crazy?"

Not exactly, but you'd better believe he is.

I wish you believed me.

Break up with this relationship before it's too late.

You're a nice young man, I do not want to see how they hurt you.

Can you bring another bottle of this splendid liquor from that cupboard?

Since you're there, turn on the light, it's starting to get dark in here.

The one at the end.

On the shelf below.

Do not be alarmed, it's just an Arabic souvenir.

The hand of a thief.

The Mohammedans punish thieves by cutting off their hands.

A bit truculent, but logical, do not you think?

How did you get it?

Of the Sultan of Marrakech, who knew that I collected strange things

And had the attention of sending it to me.

Yes.

- It is very interesting. - Do you want another?

- You drink a lot, do not you? - Maybe for your young eyes,

But at my age one needs a little stimulation, you'll understand.

He was going to tell me more about Mora.

Yes, yes, it was going to...

You will have read about Greek mythology, right?

Do not.

You will know the legend of the sirens,

Which in ancient times attracted the sailors and destroyed them.

Yes, I heard.

The sirens were a people of the sea, half human, half fish.

In English popularly it is called to its females "" mermaids "",

Which means "" ladies of the sea "".

It's like that...

- representation of yours and of Mora. - Exactly.

But that is false, you know?

A fair attraction.

But you do not think they really exist, do you?

No I dont think so.

Let me tell you that there are things that happen in this world

That your philosophy has not even dreamed of.

Where do you think the myths come from? Do you think they are inventions?

No, they come from reality!

An ancient, living reality!

What does all this have to do with Mora?

It was a sweet little thing.

He lived here with me.

Up there.

That was his room.

Behind that door.

I found her...

I found it on an island.

Then he did not know what he would become.

Become?

I did not know that she belonged to that ancestral race.

It's a monster!

If you do not stop seeing...

I warned you.

That's all I can do.

Tell me one thing...

Captain Murdock.

There's a woman who's been bothering Mora.

I think he's here.

I just want to talk to her.

A woman?

There is no woman.

I am alone.

Captain Murd... Captain Murdock!

Mr!

I did not want you to know.

He did well to tell you, but I did not want you to know.

I guess I will not see you again.

You will not believe I believed you, would you?"

But it's the truth, Johnny.

They wait for me to join them.

You've seen one of them.

You mean that woman?

You saw how he looked at me,

How he talked to me

It is one of them.

She is one of the sea creatures and has come to remind me

The moment when I shall join them in the sea.

Listen, Mora.

I do not know how or where you got those ideas,

But they are not true.

These things do not happen.

Johnny, I wish they did not happen.

Wish they were impossible.

Americans have such a simple view of the world...

You believe that everything can be seen, touched, weighed and measured.

You believe that you have discovered reality,

But you do not even know what it is.

You mean that everything Sam told me is true?

Most.

Tell me, how do you know?

Because I feel the sea water running through my veins.

I hear the roar of the sea and it speaks to me like the voice of a mother.

The tide pulls my heart.

The face of the moon fills my soul with a strange nostalgia.

Blackberry...

I do not get it.

Listen out.

Try to understand

And forgive me.

I have not heard a conch shell since I was a kid.

My grandmother had one on top of her dresser.

Sounds like the sea, right?

When I traveled to this country from Greece,

I brought a conch shell with me.

That way I always had the sea next to me.

Always close.

Johnny, I'm so scared.

Do not be afraid.

Look, I do not know what this is all about.

But I know I'm here and we'll figure this out.

Hug me.

Hug me.

My dear boy.

I hope you do not mind, but I wanted you to come.

I wanted it very much and I'm glad it was fulfilled.

Really?

I know you have a very serious problem, and I will try to help you.

Thank you, thank you.

When I have written the letters, it will be time to thank me.

How much is your work worth?

Two dollars.

- You can afford them, right? - If it is okay.

Have they ever hit you?

I've never visited a fortune teller.

Do not use that word, guess what.

It is so vulgar.

I prefer to be called a quiromantic or psychic.

First we must find the letter that represents you.

If it's your first time, chances are you've never seen these cards.

Do not.

The modern deck of cards is based on this one.

But most symbolic letters have been excluded.

Here you are! The horse of drinks.

Because I'm?

Because it represents a pure young man,

Innocent and looking for answers.

Look at these letters, young man.

They contain all the secrets of the Universe.

How can a deck contain all the secrets of the Universe?

Each letter is a symbol.

Properly connected, these symbols

Contain all human wisdom.

- Like a coded message. - Exactly.

Well, this is what contradicts you: This, what crowns you:

This, what is under you:

This, what is behind you:

What you have in front of you

This is you, your house, your hopes and fears

And this is your future.

- What do you see? - How weird!

- What? - Here are some lunar aspects.

The letter of the Moon represents the journey to the unknown.

The dog and the wolf symbolize the fears of the mind,

Our deep and primitive instincts.

Do you see that the crab tries to jump from the water to the earth?

But it almost always sinks again.

- What does that mean? - Do not be impatient.

I do not want to make a mistake, my job can be disastrous.

Unfortunately, the letter of the Moon is next to the one of the Hung.

What does the Hangman mean?

It is a letter of deep meaning.

The figure shows the suspended life.

The letter of Martyrdom has often been falsely called.

But martyrdom implies suffering,

And if you look at the face of the figure,

You will see that it has an expression of deep trance.

This letter shows that a great awakening is possible.

And reminds us

That after the sacred mystery of death

There is the glorious mystery of the resurrection.

And is it good or bad?

Dear, letters do not lend themselves to over-simplification.

And what about Mora?

I'm afraid she's stuck in...

A whirlwind of evil.

And you...

It saddens me to tell you, but you are in danger.

- A serious danger. - What kind of danger?

That's a question you do not need to ask me.

The answer lies in your heart already.

I would not give too many turns to what a fortune teller says.

I do not do it.

Only when you hear something over and over again,

After a while you end up believing it.

You said things about Mora.

What do you really know?

I'm sorry for what I said the other afternoon.

I should not have intruded.

I told you what I read in the newspaper because I thought you should know.

I just can not believe that...

Have you fallen in love with her?

Yes.

I miss the love

Is that it can arrive suddenly, you know what I mean?

As...

When you are alone.

Or when you've been looking for someone.

I do not know what I can do for her.

She believes it too.

What? Who killed those kids?

No no...

I can not explain it to you.

Try not to worry about it.

Things may turn out better than you think.

Do you want more coffee?

I'm going for a walk.

It's still a while before Mora returns.

Is working?

Yes.

Well, Ellen... Your name is Ellen, right?

I thought you would not remember, Johnny.

Thank you for listening to me.

Sometimes it's hard not to have someone with whom...

Talk a little things.

I know.

"Will you come back here soon?" - Yes, I will do it.

- See you later. - Agree.

Bye, Johnny.

- Blackberry. - Hello.

I'm bathing.

- Have you had a good day? - Very good.

The pier was crowded.

That's good.

I feel tired.

Why do not you just go away?

Yes, I think I will.

- Are you going to be there for a long time? - No, not much.

Well, I'm anxious to see you.

Blackberry?

Blackberry!

Blackberry!

Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny, they were horrible! Horrible!

It's okay, everything is fine.

- Good Morning. - Good Morning.

How do you feel?

- Sleepy. - Sleepy?

- Shall I make you breakfast? - Stay in bed.

I want you to rest.

- That's what I want to do. - All right.

How are you?

My body is a bit numb, but nothing happens.

Why do not you go get a massage?

I just do not want to leave you alone.

I'll be fine. It's already daylight.

Are you sure?

- Where are the bathrooms? - At the end of the pier.

Will you rest a little while outside?

- See you later. - Agree.

You got knots everywhere, boy.

What's up? Your girlfriend does not treat you well?

Is not that...

- I'm a little tense, that's all. - Well, we'll get you in shape.

Wow! How are you around here?

What a pleasant surprise.

Hi.

How are you, Bruno?

Hello, captain. Do you want me to crush you a little?

How could I give up on pleasure.

By the way, Johnny, I hope you have not forgotten our conversation.

- You worry me, you know? - Seriously?

Seriously. Tell me, has there...?

Have you been acting strange recently?

Do not.

Are you sure you're telling me the truth?

Does not matter. I want to give you some advice.

You have to be especially careful now that there is a full moon.

It is when the tide has more force.

What I was saying: A good understanding...

That is about...?

I've been thinking about last night.

And I have decided...

That she must be somnambulistic.

And I do not want to talk about it.

I'm going to forget it.

It's the best thing I've heard you say.

We'll forget, okay?

- That's what I was trying to do. - I know.

- Forgotten. - All right.

- What do you do? - Clean the diving equipment.

Looking at the calendar, I saw that there is a full moon

And that the tide will be perfect in a certain place that I know.

I thought we can go diving here this afternoon.

I do not think that's a good idea.

Why?

Its too cold.

But the water is warm.

I do not think it's a good idea, you should rest.

I do not want to rest, Johnny, I feel fine.

We only have the weekend, I'll rest when you're gone.

Come with me please.

Agree.

Where do you want to go diving?

It's not far from here, you'll see.

You are ready?

How do you know where we are?

Because I've been here before.

There must be a lot of depth.

Yes.

Why do you want to dive here?

There are some reefs down there.

You will see them.

Johnny...

- What? - Do not stay away from me.

We must not separate.

God!

God!

"" But it almost always sinks again. ""

- Who? - I bring you the papers, sir.

Leave them out there.

THE SPRING FAIR CELEBRATES ITS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY

AMONG THE ATTRACTIONS THAT, YEAR AFTER YEAR,

STILL TRYING TO CROWNS ARE THE MIRROR ROOM...

THE SIRENA LIVES...

Mora, ladies and gentlemen.

The strangest creature you'll see, Mora the mermaid.

For 25 cents.

A quarter of a dollar, ladies and gentlemen. The mermaid lives.

See it underwater.

The mermaid lives, brought directly from the waters of a distant sea.

For 25 cents.

25 cents. The mermaid lives.

Blackberry...

The mermaid lives, ladies and gentlemen. See it underwater.

The only siren in captivity.

For 25 cents.

I knew you'd come back.

The murderer always returns to the scene of the crime.

I know it did not happen in this place.

But you had to see her, did not you?

You had to see the result of your monstrous act!

- But I loved her. - You wanted her...

What do you know about love?

I've loved her since I was a child.

You did it and you have to pay for it!

How did you find it?

God wanted me to find it.

She was such a good and beautiful girl...

Why?

Why?

I thought the shooting house was closing, today.

And so it is. It has sounded out there.

What's going on here, my friend?

VENICE POLICE COMMITTEE DIVISION 4

Come in, Johnny. Sit down.

This is a little irregular, but the captain wants to declare

And has asked you to be present.

Go ahead, Captain Murdock.

I'll start by saying that no matter how mean and irrational it may seem,

But I did what I did because I loved Mora.

I loved her from the moment I met her.

It was a pathetic little thing in that village on a Greek island.

Abandoned, I would have died of starvation if I had not been taken.

Evidently, I knew that, like all children, I would grow

And leave his home. He had that thought in his mind.

I could not face the thought of leaving me.

So I decided...

Plan something to keep her by my side.

The best thing seemed to make me depend entirely on my love.

To get it...

I told him the legend of the people of the sea.

Little by little, I made his young mind believe that he was one of them

And that one day he should return with them.

I could not have normal relationships with normal people.

But I did not count on the power of his will to be independent.

In the end, my love was not enough, I wanted to have another kind of love.

When he began to have these relationships...

I decided I could only cut them off.

So I killed those two young men.

And I tried to persuade her in some way that she had been,

Under the strange influence of the sea creatures, and I succeeded.

I managed to bring fear and doubt into his mind.

Still, he wanted his freedom.

He left my house, rented a flat, and then met Johnny.

If he has told the story,

You will know the rest.

My psychological experiment failed,

Or maybe it was too successful.

He could not face a repetition of what had happened,

So, rather than destroy the person he loved,

He preferred to surrender to the depths.

That's what happened.

True?

Yes.

You wanted her, right?

Then maybe you can understand me.

Although a little.

If I understand.

Captain Murdock, I still have a question.

Johnny told me about a woman who frightened Mora.

She was supposed to be one of the sea creatures.

I assume that was part of your plan.

I do not know what you are talking about.

You know, the one I followed to his house that day.

- He remembers? - I remember you mentioned it before,

But there was no woman.

I do not know what you mean.

I've told you everything.

Can I leave?

Guard.

But I saw that woman with my own eyes.

It was not something Mora imagined.

It's almost...

As if there was something true in what she said.

It is more likely that the captain is protecting that woman.

- I guess so. - Yes?

The military police have come to get Drake.

Now it comes out.

Good luck, boy.

At the end of the hallway.

Hi.

Hi.

I knew you were here and I came in case I could do anything for you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about Mora.

I hope that...

On your next permit come and take a ride on the merry-go-round.

I would like.

All right.

See you around.

Agree.

Bye.

- Oh, it does not rain anymore. - It seems.

"SO, DURING THE YOUNG TIDE NEXT TO MY BELOVED, AMADA,

MY LIFE AND MY WIFE, IN HIS SEPULCRO, THERE, BY THE SEA,

IN HIS TOMB NEAR THE RUGIENT SEA."

EDGAR ALLAN POE

- I want a 100 liters goat! - 100 liters?

When I get back to Zanziras, I will send you an enormous goat.

No, you're not going to Zanziras, because soon you have to die.

I'll give you poison, you happy?

Great, how I love this news!

- Little Caesar! - What? - Can I call you Caesar?

Call me as you wish, but I have to go. - No no no!

I want to call you Caesar, because it is the name of a great man.

- Really? - He had a high forehead like you.

Blue eyes...

Oh! You also have blue eyes!

How strange. This way, you have only one eye!

- Really? One eye? - The other will soon come back.

There it is! Now you have two.

One and two. One and two...

One, two, three, four.

Sorry, Cleo, but I really had to do it. It hurts me more than you.

Stay here and sleep it off.

And you, don't interfere! Or else I tear off that beard!

Give me the rings, I have to leave.

Excuse me. Tomorrow you can kill as many officers as you like.

I'm sorry to leave the mountain, but I have to go to the sea.

Wait! Wait, where are you going?

Cleopatra is sleeping, and she doesn't want to be disturbed.

Do me a favour, stay by the door and don't let anyone through.

- I'll do anything you want. - Good, then I will reward you...

I'll give you a kiss.

Wait, let me give it. Why waste a chance...

Today my luck has changed. You owe me 15 talents.

Guards! Guards! Beards, where are you?

Stop playing that game! The queen has been arrested!

They locked up her up in the dungeon! - Impossible!

Don't start that! Believe me, I saw it! - But who dared?

The ugly one with the little beard! Tortul is his name!

- That swine, he'll pay for this! - Well make him pay, not me!

Guards!

- Call me when the queen awakes. - There he is! Come on everybody!

There he is! Arrest him! It was him! Take him away!

Don't let him fool you! - Are you mad? Let go of me!

He arrested our beloved queen and we're going to free her! Come on!

Come on, officers, be careful of the step!

Good lads! Big and strong and always ready with the spears!

Come along, gentlemen.

As you can see, we're in the prison section.

There are three bedrooms for rent...

Where is the queen? - The queen?

- If you lied we'll cut you open. - To pieces!

One moment, don't be impatient.

Was a woman brought down here? - Yes. - See?

- That wasn't the queen! - Be silent or I tear your beard off!

- It is the queen! - That's what we'll see! - Let's see!

- Open the door! - Come on, open that door, slave!

I'll rip his beard! You'll see if there is a queen!

Here is the divine Cleopatra! The queen of kings!

The greatest queen... Put on the ring and act as I tell you.

The greatest queen of the world!

On your knees! All on your knees in front of Cleopatra!

I said all! On your knees! Down!

Not you, you're the divine Cleopatra.

Show them the ring.

See? - She's a blonde!

She s blonde... I'll smash you with my own hands!

She is blonde. So what? Why so suspicious?

She's blonde from fear. Don't you know that fear can change the colour?

Black turns blonde, blonde turns white,

and white turns black, right?

You're black, you tell them. And the living... will end up dead!

- This is not Cleopatra! - Shut up, you liar!

Come, come.

Wait, don't be so greedy! You'll never learn good manners!

I'll give him to you. Come on, Tortul!

Come on, cut the fuss! - Let go of me! Let go of me!

Here is your friend. You can all share him. But eat slowly, don't be greedy.

But not the old man.

Let's flee!

Oh my, they ate him! Now that is gluttony!

Why, yes, of course, great Cleopatra.

Attention! The great Cleopatra orders: Everyone to return to his duties!

Pardon us.

Officers to their offices,

slaves to their slavery.

And no-one, NO-ONE,

is to speak a word of what has happened here.

Soon the great Cleopatra, accompanied by her humble servant,

will go out for her usual morning walk.

Let's go, Cleo. Pardon us.

Begin singing our national anthem.

But we really... - What? Don't you know it?

You have forgotten our song?

# Cleopatra! Cleopatra! #

# Cleopatra, Cleopatra. # - Do not dare following us!

You hear them singing? They really believe that you are the queen.

And you really are my queen. - You have my heart.

We shall go towards our happiness, in joy.

We'll always be together, always together.

- I'm afraid. - What are you afraid of?

Next to you a young man, tall, proud, brave,

don't you see me, Nisca?

Hey! The door's closed. - And now?

You needn't be afraid, you're safe here right beside me.

As long as you're with me, you don't have to fear anything.

What danger can there be? As long as they are sing...

Hush!

They're not singing anymore? - No.

- No? - Have they found out?

- I think so. - Run! Flee!

- It's closed as well. - Oh dear.

- What now? - You mustn't be afraid.

Bolted too! This way!

There's a wall here!

How are we going to escape? - This way.

No, thanks, we're escaping.

Wait! She'll save us! Come on!

- Are you fleeing with her? - Yes. Why, do you mind?

I'm sorry, but like my uncle said, "Don't miss any chance!"

Now you can be afraid! So long!

Little Caesar!

I played a joke on you!

Come on, dear.
