Original subtitles

They were here again, indifferent witnesses to my pain.

I knew that I would find peace only after they disappear.

Their presence was a harbinger of misfortune.

Or death...

No, not that..

I don't want that.

Not that.

Do you feel bad?

Yes. After all, they returned.

And this time I'm sure. - What are you saying?

You had a nightmare, darling. That's clear enough.

No, I assure you, it was not a dream.

Come on, get out of there. It's all over now.

Pull yourself together, don't be afraid, I'm here with you.

Listen, the corpse of a man was lying next to me, and my hands were in his blood.

You tell me it's over, but I will never forget that.

My hands were covered in blood.

Well what are you, what are you, calm down, dear.

Come, Anna.

Try to be reasonable. Listen,

this is what we will do.

You lie down and relax.

And I'll come now.

Careful, she woke up.

What's new?

You know, she really bothers me.

And what's bad, her hallucinations are becoming more frequent.

Does she take her pills regularly?

Well... you see, I have a feeling that these pills don't help her.

Perhaps you should think about sending her to a psychiatric clinic,

to be watched there? - No, for her it will be terrible.

But this is the only way.

Here I can only treat her nerves, give a sedative, no more.

And by what you tell, it's about a mental illness,

requiring special care. - You want to say that Anna is mad?

I don't know anything yet. It is necessary that she undergo a full examination.

I have to go. I'll come in tomorrow.

In the meantime, let him take this sedative every two hours.

But be careful: only two drops at a time with a glass of warm milk.

Call me. And so - until tomorrow.

Doctor, wait.

Listen to me, doctor.

What are you doing here? Come home now.

I need to talk to you in private.

No, this is not possible right now. Go home.

Wait. I want to meet with you tomorrow at the clinic.

- Not. - Why not?

Because I won't be there.

But if you want, we can meet at St. Tores Chapel at 11 o'clock.

Be punctual, I will wait for you inside.

I'll be in time.

Are you calm now?

Are you sure?

If you want, I will wait for you outside.

No, I need a couple more minutes.

Are you religious? I would think the opposite.

Usually, really, people are mistaken on my account.

And, you know, I know you better than you can know yourself.

And this is normal, because I am your attending physician.

Do you want to leave?

Calm yourself.

What is the matter with you?

This is the first time I've see you in this state, Anna.

Enough is enough. I beg you, calm down, Anna.

No, Anna... No, listen...

My name is not Anna at all. Do you understand?

And I was never the Princess D'Istria.

And I have only painful memories of childhood.

I never knew my father, and I do not know who he is. Here...

All this doesn't matter at all.

What is important above all is your personality.

What comes from you is the very fact of your existence.

Don't say that.

On the contrary, you don't understand.

This is much more important than you think.

I want to know what you said to Cynthia yesterday.

Tell me the truth. I am mad?

No, not at all.

Are you sure?

You just have to take care of your nerves.

You have them in an over-excited state.

First of all you need to find balance,

restore equilibrium.

It's simple. Relax

Throw out all the ghosts from this pretty head.

All this is a lie. But I know why.

Because... I'm really mad.

And you just reassure me.

No, don't be foolish.

You just need to relax. “You don't want to understand anything.”

Excuse me.

You see, I don't know how to explain it,

but I need to talk.

And you are the only one who can understand me.

No one, no one but you, understands me.

But what about Cynthia?

Cynthia is not a woman, this is a statue.

Always so cold.

Nothing can touch or touch her heart.

She froze in her beauty and indifference, like an ice queen.

Not a single flaw, not a single gesture...

nothingness.

How did you meet her?

When did your close friendship begin?

Our connection, you say?

Do not think that I have a reason to hide it.

You don't know much about me and my life.

Me with Cynthia

I performed a miserable number of striptease in a nightclub in Zagreb.

And now I don't know who I am or where I am going.

This is monstrous. Reality is intertwined with dreams, and everything turns into a nightmare.

Well, I told you everything.

How to find out where the truth is?

Am I a killer, sadist.

Or is it just a terrible dream that haunts me

intrusively breaking into my dreams?

I am not able to find the answer on my own.

My poor darling.

If I understand correctly, everything is much more serious than I thought.

I have to talk to Cynthia. - Talk to her? About what?

Well...

I need to explain to her that in your condition she can't care for you.

You must undergo a special treatment,

for which special care is required. And you cannot continue to live with her.

- And why? - To diagnose you,

it will be better if you go to the clinic.

And if you stay with Cynthia, it will be unsafe.

Unsafe. What does it mean?

Are you talking about physical danger?

Exactly. I'm sorry, but it's better for you to know.

I'm not completely sure yet, but...

as a doctor, and since you wanted to know,

I prefer to speak frankly with you.

Yes, you are right.

I wanted to know.

We need to talk with Cynthia.

I am ready to follow you.

Tell me what should I do?

A few months ago

I worked at a second-rate nightclub in Zagreb.

I had to entertain the audience as long as possible with a striptease,

which lasted, it seemed to me, for an age.

But the club owner was counting on

that I will take a big half of the evening.

And I always thought that I was in a hurry.

“Anna.” He said. “Undress as you want.

Show them everything you have.

But bit by bit.

And when they consider that you are finished, start over.

Draw out the pleasure.

It excites them, and they drink.

And this is the main thing."

So I did what I could.

I invented voluptuous gestures

eccentric postures.

In short

it seemed to me that day by day I became more and more miserable.

And then one day I noticed her presence.

She sat in the hall

staring at me with her icy gaze.

Despite the smoke that made the air semi-permeable,

I felt her heavy persistent look,

not leaving me for a minute.

It made me feel strange.

I saw only her eyes in the night.

Perhaps for the first time in my life I experienced...

a certain pleasure from my performance.

I slowed down every gesture

accentuated every pose.

She kept her eyes on me.

And I didn't understand how I felt:

enjoyment?

But the pleasure that became anxious, like discomfort.

The next evening she came again.

And again she kept her eyes on me.

Her eyes sparkled like diamonds

in the dimly consecrated hall.

I saw nothing but those eyes.

They were both unreal and annoying for me.

I continued my room on a poorly lit stage,

not really thinking what I'm doing.

For my whole being was bewitched

enslaved to these eyes, sparkling in the dark.

To these eyes of the night.

once

I was surprised to see her in my dressing room

right before the performance.

“I want to offer you something.” - She came to make me an offer.

What?

At first I was wary.

Yes. I want to offer you something.

Congratulations, you are dancing... - Her voice was getting warmer.

“It is only a pity that you...” She did not argue.

She acted like a seductress

insinuating, bewitching.

You must trust me. I will make you a great artist.

Yes, that's the right word.

I felt bewitched.

Naturally, you have to work hard.

Invisible power attracted me to her.

I didn't resist

not really understanding what's wrong with me.

Of course,

she said that she would make me a star, make me work,

that I would certainly succeed.

But I listened to all this in a dream.

In a dream that lasted...

To begin, you will live with me. I have a large house.

I think we'll get along.

Are you interested?

And I followed her to her house.

There she made a long speech.

All the same tone.

She tried to convince me, perhaps with excessive perseverance.

What, do you think it's enough to undress...

I listened to her, but very passively.

Suddenly the charm had disappeared.

Was it a force of my will?

Or, conversely, a lack of courage?

A manifestation of habitual weakness?

It seemed to me that I should remain what I was

do not change anything in your life.

- Don't you want... - Before turning the page,

I hesitated. And contrary to myself,

my subconscious was struggling with Cynthia's beautiful promises.

Instead of persuading, she suddenly began to rebuke me.

My head was spinning.

The next day, I again appeared on the stage of this grubby cabaret.

I was worried, excited...

And I had reasons for that.

For almost from the very beginning of my striptease,

and as in previous evenings, I discovered in the night

Cynthia's eyes that were fixed on me.

I was defeated, I knew that everything was over, that I had to agree to everything.

Listen, Anna, I won't get angry.

You have to understand well... - This time the tone has changed.

She became stiff

ironic, galling.

Know that I understood everything...

I was to blame.

Guilty of not giving up before.

I should have been rudely punished, subjugated.

And since then

it seems to me that I exist only thanks to her

and for her.

Anna, don't you know that I'm here next to you?

I wanted... yes, I wanted

teach you to be who you became

submissive, as it is now.

And then strange dreams began to come to me:

often Cynthia appeared in them and talked to me.

Big birds also flew silently.

And always silence surrounded me

drowning out my steps

in this too spacious house.

I had the feeling that I was living somewhere else

in another life, in an unknown world.

And every moment

the temptation to fall asleep

not knowing, I'm sleeping already

or still awake.

Hello, doctor? This is Cynthia Robin.

Come as soon as possible.

Hello. Are you Anna D'Istria?

I am Dr. Vikas.

How are you feeling? - Well. And you?

Aren't you sick?

Not at all. Who told you that?

You are Cynthia Robin's friend? - Yes, me, what is wrong?

Cynthia called me early in the morning, very worried...

because of your nerves.

I didn't know that she knew how to worry.

No, I just had a nightmare that night, that's all.

- If so, does it make sense to worry? - Yes, it makes no sense.

In any case, I'm happy that...

Thank you for inviting me

but next time, choose a moment not in my office hours.

Rebuke accepted.

Excuse me, but I heard your conversation.

And what do you want? Sorry, but this is normal.

I thought it was much more serious.

I wish I hadn't said anything.

I am such an altruist.

Cynthia, I was joking.

On the contrary, I'm glad that everything is fine.

I want you to come with me.

You enjoy humiliating me?

By saying that I act like a maniac.

I did not say that.

This is exactly what you told the doctor.

I heard everything.

You do not want to admit that you feel.

"Doctor, there was no point in bothering you."

Meanwhile, last night you acted like a dangerous psychopath.

You cried and yelled that you killed a man with a spear.

And that there was blood everywhere.

- No that's not true. - Here is how? Do you think I'm a liar?

Let me go, leave me alone.

I will tame you.

I will teach you to obey.

Cynthia, please let me go, please.

Have pity on me.

Open up.

Awake from sleep

go towards the light

through the long corridor of the past...

Death and pleasure

hold out my hand

irresistibly attract me...

Meet people who seem familiar to me...

and which I have never seen before.

Listen, how long will it last?

Will you get this money or not?

- We have to wait. - I know you say that all the time.

We are sitting here and watching.

How boring.

How do you manage to stay so calm?

As you can see, I'm patient.

Only a few days, and we will receive this money.

We will have a lot of money.

Do you see me with all these millions?

What will we do with them?

What will you buy me?

I want so much.

I want everything, even the most expensive.

By the way, I hope, having received the money, you will not leave me?

You do not look very well.

Do you eat well?

Recently, I have no appetite at all.

Do you feel depressed?

Why doesn't she want to see me in her bedroom anymore?

In this bedroom you will be more comfortable.

I think she is afraid of me.

You are a bad girl.

You are able with a wave of a magic wand to turn your girlfriend

in a terrible pink pig.

But seriously, I advise you to get up and go for a walk.

- Is it not dangerous for me? - Very dangerous.

All the men you meet will fall in love with you right away.

And kidnapped.

Until tomorrow morning.

Paul wait. I need to tell you a few words.

Follow me.

Doctor. Wait for me.

What?

- May I come with you? - With pleasure.

- Are you going to town? - And where else?

Let's go faster.

What a wonderful day.

I need to tell you something.

Something funny, I think.

I got away from Cynthia secretly.

You can't be angry with me - I was suffocating.

You are worse than a child.

I wanted to see people, talk to them...

Do you think I'm completely mad? - Why do you think so?

Cynthia thinks so, but this is idiocy.

I know that I'm not mad.

Then why are you so worried?

Because... I'm afraid at night.

I have strange dreams.

Sometimes I wake up and in the darkness of my bedroom

I distinguish sinister figures

and the feeling that I saw them in a dream.

And I don't know whether it is a dream or a reality.

But I do terrible things.

Poor Anna.

But when the dawn comes

the sun...

sounds of outer life...

birdsong, dogs barking...

Everything becomes the same.

A terrible night is gradually erasing...

The voltage goes away

and I relax finally.

Doctor, do you believe that I'm insane?

I want you to answer frankly.

I am mad.

I understand: you do not want to talk.

You think me mad too.

No, what are you.

Your sane.

You're right.

I'll no longer pester you with questions.

What are you, Anna.

I think you better go home.

You must understand that Cynthia can also worry.

I know.

And I want to tell you one more thing:

you have no reason to be afraid of anyone.

From now on, we should talk more often.

And for a specific purpose:

Firstly, to relieve you of your nervous tension.

And then together we will find the cause of your problem.

Now go.

Don't torture yourself anymore, return home.

I'll go home. I'll keep calm.

Well, Anna? Do you want to join?

Come on.

Whore.

What are you doing here?

Waiting for you.

What for? And where is Cynthia?

She is sleeping.

Here it is, it's true.

You can give her the most passionate passion

the most tender caresses

the most voluptuous moments

but when you reach the summit,

the next minute

forgetting everything and dying of fatigue,

she stretches, closes her eyes

and falls asleep.

But this is not my style.

I enjoy making love

but then I want to jump out the window,

run along the roofs, clutching a pretty little hand in his palm.

I hope you understand me?

For example, if you want,

I would like to run in the moonlight, holding your hand in mine.

I had no idea that you are such a poet.

Would you like a part in my play?

Cynthia told me that you are a talented artist.

That's not entirely accurate.

I'm just a stripper.

As you know, it's a simple genre.

There is no need to be an actress.

You forget that here I am, and I know how to be a magician.

And everything will change.

Everything will become transparent and clear, like your eyes.

Follow me.

A wonderful world awaits you behind this door.

You see?

This is the constellation Ursa Major.

The dark mass around us is the mountains.

Their peaks dive into the sea.

The waves will soon sparkle in the moonlight.

The world belongs to us, nothing holds us back.

Look. Look with all your eyes at this extravaganza.

Lightning.

Tell me, aren't you afraid?

She just shows us the way

to the paradise that awaits us.

Look, the sun is rising. How beautiful it is.

And now we enter the twilight grotto.

Do not be afraid, we will still see the light.

And the sun.

And it will shine again.

Only for us.

We are everywhere and nowhere.

We can love each other. The whole world belongs to us.

Let me lead you along the path of enjoyment.

- What about the rest? - They don't exist.

There is only the two of us.

Let's go to. We need to hurry because they are waiting for us.

This is a very beautiful piece for the piano. Sounds like Terence Powell.

Do you like the cinema too?

Loved when it allowed us to escape from everyday life,

opening the doors of the enchanting world.

I understand you.

For this is exactly what happened to me.

It's enough to trust and let yourself be carried away,

and we open the way that alone we would never dare to go.

I know.

Take me away forever.

And now he's dead too.

Like me... like all of us.

They are here again.

What for?

What do they want from me?

And still this silence...

I don't know why, but...

it seems to me that everything that surrounds me

suddenly took on different proportions,

another dimension.

I think our day has come.

It seems the last hour has come.

We will get the money.

And we will immediately fly to Brazil?

Of course.

And will you buy me everything I ask?

Well, yes, of course. I already told you.

You see, you just have to be able to wait.

But what did you do to get so much money?

If you want to know, we managed to rob a jewellery store.

Now I understand.

They had jewellery, they had to sell them.

But because of the police, they could not be thrown too quickly to the market.

How lucky I was to meet you so on time.

You are the most amazing man I have ever known.

No, I don't want anymore. Everything is getting too terrible.

We have gone too far.

We need to find some way out.

Come on.

It was necessary to think about morality earlier.

You agreed that we would go far.

But I could not think so much.

Yes you are right. But what does that change?

Listen, Cynthia, at least give me an injection.

She must be able to get out of this hell.

And so that everyone understands that she is not mad.

Then everyone will quickly understand that she committed crimes under hypnosis,

and as a result, you and I will end up in jail.

On the contrary, tell yourself that she just removed our last accomplice.

Thus, we no longer have to share with anyone.

- I will not be able to live with it... - You shouldn't be so vain.

You know very well

that we do not care about the others.

No one would ever think

that the real culprit is none other than Dr. Vikas.

Come, calm yourself.

You will see,

I will be able to help you quickly forget everything.

Loving you.

You do not believe that your life will be beautiful again?

In my arms you will find peace again

and well-deserved happiness.

In a week you will forget about it and think.

I do not know what is happening with me...

No one will ever discover our secret.

Come to me, my love, kiss me.

Forgive me. - Kiss Me...

You are foolish, so reproach yourself.

I mourn before heaven all who die every day.

I pray for souls in distress

for all those who do not know compassion.

For the missing children,

for all those who are tortured, shot...

I pray for those who crave justice

love, life, freedom.

For all who suffer in this world.

You're right. You are everything to me.

- Kiss Me. - I love you.

- I love you. - - I love you, too.

I shed tears on the ashes of those burnt alive

I cry for the cries of the dead

lost in the infinity of space.

I mourn the blood I have shed.

I mourn my dreams

about happiness, joy and the sun.

Finally.

It remains only to call the police.

Perfect death.

This is Dr. Paul Vikas. Come soon.

My patient killed herself due to nervous depression.

Acacia Ave. 14, Villa Cynthia.

Yes, of course, I will wait for the inspector.

One more thing more:

don't forget what you have to do with the body

so that the police have no doubts.

The evidence is clear:

it was a schizophrenic pervert who became a killer.

How hungry I am.

I'll go see what remains of the food.

Why do you have such a strange look?

Paul, what's wrong with you?

Don't start your nonsense again

Do you hear what I am telling you?

She is dead.

And we killed her.

Blood continues to flow from her mouth.

As you can see, Monsieur suddenly embraced a strange sensitivity?

In vain you took such a tone, because now I have decided.

I want you to explain.

Do you think that you are always the strongest?

What do you decide?

Just know that this has come to an end, because I no longer obey you.

I am free, understand?

Are you? So what? You have always been free.

When the police are here, everything will become clear.

As you can see, this time I made a decision.

I'll tell them the truth, understand? All the truth.

But...

Are you insane?

Insane, yes - but before, when I obeyed you.

I want to leave.

Let me go.
