Original subtitles

Where are they taking us?

To the island over there.

It must be awful.

You should have thought of that first.

When you're out it will be just a bad memory.

For now you will have your three years, so you better get used to it.

Oh! Stop Please. That's enough!

I know what you will miss.

Unfortunately you won't find it in this prison.

- Is this the prison? - Yes.

Home, sweet home, for all of us.

Built by the Spaniards, oh, who knows when.

It has a beautiful name: Castillo de la Muerte.

The citadel of death.

- You are late, sir. - The formalities never ended.

I do not want to know.

It's not my fault.

They made me wait for documents.

Here, it's all right.

Weren't we supposed to take a girl away?

Yes.

Bring her here.

We found it in yours cell this morning. She was dead.

Absurd. She knew she would be released in a few days.

She has always been afraid of freedom.

A suicide?

Her papers are next to her in her coffin.

Signed and approved by the Governor.

I'll tell you again, next time you will have to be here in time.

Bring on the new ones you arrive. For inspection.

Your name?

- Natalie Mendoza. - You must call me "Ma'am."

Your number?

98, ma'am.

- And you? - 97.

You've been here before.

Yes Ma'am, two years ago.

How long will you stay here this time?

One year, ma'am.

This will depend on your conduct.

Otherwise, he will make sure to extend your holidays.

Get one thing in mind:

starting from this moment, you no longer have any personality.

You are nothing.

You are nothing but numbers.

Forget you exist.

- Salutations. - New arrivals...

A newcomer is welcome distraction in this brothel.

- Jessica! - Helga!

Here again? Why are you inside this time?

What questions. The usual history. I am loyal.

Helga! She is ill.

Who? Natalie?

Yes, 98.

Is fine. Do not panic.

She's not sick, she's addicted.

That's why they locked her up.

The police took her on a boat.

She was traveling without a ticket

but with enough heroin to satisfy an army of junkies.

Is there no one who can help her?

She's getting the special treatment.

The treatment of the house, to cold water.

For now she is quite well.

When they're done, I will lose all my hair.

Come, don't think about it.

Take it easy. You have to sleep.

You can't do anything about it anyway.

Come on, don't cry.

Tell me, did I ever tell you why am i in here?

No. Why?

It's not a secret.

Prostitution. I fucked with the wrong guy.

And you, why are you here?

You have to tell me about it one day. I bet you did something serious.

Come on, don't cry.

I'm going to get on that bed.

Mr. Governor, I hope you enjoyed it.

Ah, that little white angel.

It was enchanting.

I knew she would like her.

And how are the new arrivals?

Among them there is a little blonde

The number 99.

Young,

hot, with a shapely body.

I think she might like it.

I'll see you later. Today I have lots of work to do.

Thank you for coming so soon Governor.

I am faithful to her, as always.

You're too kind.

And very soon you will be able to show your gratitude.

You know how I like to treat those who are loyal to me.

Did you say 99?

Yes.

Good.

But... act with caution.

I learned this morning that the girl died he had deep scars on his back.

As you know, I care about work discipline.

But we have a new Minister of Justice,

who is supposed to be very zealous.

Don't forget that this is the second death this year.

Yes, yes, I know. So?

It is necessary to avoid problems, you understand?

Problems are what I deal with from morning to night, Mr. Governor.

I'm used to.

The number 99...

I have to see the prisoners first.

Dangerous and brutal men.

When should we meet again?

Maybe tomorrow.

Will take the opportunity to take a look at...

Number 99.

So see you tomorrow.

It will be a great pleasure.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

- What do you want? - Anything.

You had a nightmare.

- Who was it that complained? - Natalie.

She is seriously ill.

Oh... But go! Sleep.

It's not the drugs that hurt her. I tell you she is sick!

What do you know about it? Are you a doctor by any chance?

No, but I have a feeling.

What do you think we should do?

We should call a guard, get a doctor.

Guard!

Guard!

Do you want to shut up?

Number 99.

- Number 99! - Yes, ma'am.

The punishment for insubordination,

how will you learn, � 8 days in solitary confinement.

But Nathalie is delirious.

I will end up dying.

And the punishment for refusal to obey the Director,

� 15 days in solitary confinement. I hope you understood!

Goodmorning doctor.

She did it quickly.

She was already dead.

It almost always happens like this.

How long has it been Director that woman?

Oh, it will already be ten years.

Before, he was just a guard.

No one ever leaves that place.

As for that, we'll see.

Faster!

Or there will be 8 days of isolation for all. Faster!

How much did they give you?

Fifteen months. It will be quite long. And you?

The same. It's my first conviction.

I've been here for ten days.

Can you bear?

Work isn't the worst of it. Fatigue doesn't scare me.

Hey you, you miss them streets you frequented?

Shut up if you don't want to regret it.

A bitch doesn't talk like that.

Stop. Are you crazy?

That's enough!

You two, come with me.

You guys continue with your work.

What will happen?

What will they do to them two?

They'll have the party.

Good evening.

Punctual, as usual.

Not your first visit today?

No, the doctor was here this morning.

One of the girls is...

Dead, I know.

How was I to know that wasn't she pretending?

Oh, I wasn't scolding you.

I'm not the new one Minister of Justice.

It's hot tonight.

The doctor said he will send a report to the ministry.

Here it is.

Just what I feared.

But the task of the Minister is alone to find those responsible.

These are things we can fix.

I'll bring you a glass of wine.

To talk about more pleasant topics:

How is the number 99?

You made me greedy, my dear.

She got into a fight with another girl.

I had to punish her as she deserved.

-Who was the other girl? - Number 76... You know the type.

Yes, you certainly know her:

He's been here for a year.

Ah yes. Zo�.

she's hurt.

is closed in the infirmary with her dear friend number 99.

They will stay there until they will have calmed down.

Well they must be punished, Mr. Governor.

I'll let you choose the punishment.

For real?

Thelma, I really think that you have the wrong job:

I would see you as well brothel owner.

Ah, Mr. Governor, you know very well that from a long time ago I found my calling here

and that I consecrate myself to it, with all my soul.

If you put it like this

Are you done complaining?

That's enough! Can you hear me?

It serves no purpose.

Stop crying.

� thanks to you and that bitch

if my leg is all scratched.

But I don't cry.

Did you understand? I've never cried.

Come on.

Come on, I told you.

No! Leave me alone!

Very well.

Two old friends.

Looks like my two girlfriends they don't get along.

But it doesn't matter, my angels.

It's hard to distinguish between love and hate.

Sometimes they make a good couple.

We will see this shortly.

It's hot in here.

Suffocating.

Why not make ourselves more comfortable?

No! You hurt me!

Leave me alone!

What's your name?

Magda.

I have to stay inside for six months. Beyond belief.

It's a long time.

In this hell hole six months is an eternity.

And you? How much did they give you?

I do not know.

Indefinitely?

Poor thing. It's the worst thing.

Maybe you'll never get out.

Impossible.

Well, you know

I didn't mean anything by that.

Your documents?

This is a letter.

Sorry. It's all I have.

It is addressed to the Director.

Good morning.

Mrs. Director Diaz?

And she's the Headmistress... Carole.

Not yet.

The Minister's letter It's clear enough.

Yes,

she says for a month ...

enough time to form an opinion.

I understand well what it means.

I have to go. I get it.

That's up to her.

But I'd rather she stay

to help me.

- Me, help her? - Yes.

I'm sure he'll need her.

She has experience in direction of a prison?

Very little.

I have dealt with juvenile delinquency.

This is my first once in a prison.

She has many things to learn.

I know it.

That's why I ask you to help me.

If she's going to check, I can assure you that everything is in order.

Folders, files, and accounts.

We have 99 inmates

according to this morning's roll call.

I believe you, ma'am.

I would like to visit the rooms.

Do you want to accompany me?

Who does she think she is?

Silence!

Then?

Why did you stop working?

Carry on!

And what is it?

Those are the isolation cells.

There are some busy Right now?

Yes. There is a prisoner.

For what reason?

Attempted rebellion and even recidivism.

How long has it been in there?

Tomorrow will be a week.

I'd like to see her.

She will be disappointed.

Very well, as she wants.

Stand up! Up, stand up!

Get up and walk. Force!

What's your name?

99.

I want to know your name.

Here the inmates do not have a name, but only a number.

Tell me your name please.

What's your name?

Marie.

Thanks Marie. Bring it back with the others.

- He's grounded for two weeks. - Do as he says!

I would like to talk to this girl.

In private.

Governor Santos, Miss Carole.

I heard about the letter from the ministry.

I have a letter for her too.

Please, Madam, can you kindly have a room prepared for me?

Of course, gladly.

So she's Leonie Carole?

Yes.

My name is Santos. I'm the Governor, and therefore his superior.

The ministry informed me.

He wants to receive a daily report.

Naturally.

But you'll have to give me a copy.

You sit down.

You must know, I'm not surprised that they sent her here.

Oh yes?

Terrible things have happened here.

Mrs Diaz, the Director, She was a little too careless.

I tell her: "She works hard, but she always misses something."

Yes.

She should resign.

I asked her to stay still for a while'.

Of course.

Are you a psychologist?

I'm sure we will get along very well.

I'm sure.

It will settle down

and then I'll keep you posted on everything what happens in here.

I hope all will be well, Governor.

Allow me some advice, Miss Carole,

strictly enforce order and discipline.

If, out of weakness, you let yourself be put feet in head from these girls

then he will no longer have any authority.

Remember this well, Miss Carole.

Goodbye, Mr. Governor.

I'm sure we'll see you again soon.

I'm sure of it too.

It's not that I scare you, right?

No. But leave me alone.

I understand it from your state.

They set you up right, huh?

As if you care.

You know, there was a time when me too I had aspirations like you.

I was a dancer.

A wonderful life, I swear,

and an ideal job.

Everyone knew me.

I had it all.

Men courted me.

It could last but the boss was jealous of me.

take it off!

Why, does it bore you?

One evening I met a man.

I was crazy about him.

I didn't know she was spying on us.

Good evening, Zoe.

Carla.

bitch!

It's terrible, Zoe.

How come she let you out of the cell?

I do not know.

She is not like the others. She is different.

She be careful. She could be hotter than the old one.

I tell you not to trust: she is snooping around for some reason.

I saw her this morning and she seemed fine.

You should have asked her why did it end up here.

They usually send here only old women.

Why don't you ask her?

Number 99. Come with me.

Very well.

Leave us alone.

Sit down, Marie.

How come you were punished? What have you done wrong?

I asked for help.

Why?

One of the girls was ill. She needed a doctor.

And did the doctor come?

I do not know.

Where's the girl?

she's dead.

How long have you been here?

Seven days.

And you've been in solitary confinement since your arrival?

How are you in here? What have you done? Tell me.

I went through your file.

But there wasn't much written, only the essential information.

I'd like to know how did you end up here.

Come on, calm down.

So what happened?

Tell me.

Give it a go.

That evening I was waiting for the bus.

A man with the motorcycle i offered a lift home.

And then I went with him.

It was dark

and I didn't know the area.

He dragged me to a dump.

There were four men…

Of thugs, of brutes.

They attacked me.

Up, up.

One of them had a knife.

I tried to get it.

Suddenly I realised to be covered in blood.

- You killed him. - No! No!

Nonetheless the court found you guilty.

Nobody believed that I was telling the truth.

What I think is that you were prostituting yourself

and when one of them refuses to give you the money you asked for

you fought and in the anger you hit him.

No, but why doesn't anyone want to believe me?

All right.

Now I believe you.

But remember this:

Those who have been convicted they always say they are innocent.

Few tell the truth.

I will ask that they send me the process file.

Unfortunately if the chances of a review are very scarce.

Go back to your cell now.

Thank you Madam.

This Leonie Carole is not stupid as you thought.

I never thought she was stupid.

I think she is very clever

and that you are not here to fire a insignificant manageress, but her.

Myself? ... Absurd.

The ministry has total trust in me.

Don't be too sure.

Of course, I have a certain reputation.

For real?

We have to prevent the damage it can do

and the reports I will send.

You are right. We have to act.

Before it's too late.

Before you send her report, the ministry will receive a report on her.

Excellent idea. In this situation we have to fight back.

Absolutely.

But what can you find?

I noticed

who strives to gain the sympathy of certain inmates, even though I warned you.

Are you sure?

Maybe she's interested in one of those girls

rather than to you, Mr. Governor?

Thing?

What a great idea!

Let's not waste any more time.

Tell me names, facts, spicy details.

Ah, I'll get them to you.

In a nutshell, Mr. Governor,

she is in love with the number 99.

Faster!

Force!

Look! The men!

- Juan Diego! - Do you know him?

Yes. I absolutely have to talk to him.

Wait, I have an idea. Run.

Go, quick!

Excuse me, I have to talk serious stuff with her.

Rosalie!

I've been trying to communicate with you.

I wanted to let you know about me.

- And what is this? - Nothing, it's just a scratch.

Hey, listen.

On the opposite side of the island

there is a fishing village.

They have boats.

In ten days, at the new moon,

I will run away with a friend of mine.

But Juan, where can I find you?

Two kilometers from village, there is a port.

We will meet there at dusk.

Oh, Rosalie.

Attention!

Zo�!

What's up Marie? What do you want?

You better go to sleep and what dreams of your new girlfriend!

She will never let you out of here.

You can be sure of that.

I'll take you to bed sometime and then I'll leave you here to rot.

A letter for her.

Thank you.

An inmate wants to speak to you urgently.

Which?

The number 99.

I'm hungry.

Me too.

Why don't you ask the benefactress of souls did she miss doing something about the food in here?

I've only seen her twice times since he's been here.

She will do whatever you ask of her: you are her sweetheart!

Oh, shut up.

You close your mouth

It is known that you do not frequent females.

You are an obscene whore!

A whore with flakes!

I'll make you change!

What's going on here?

That's enough! Can you hear me? Stop!

Do you know what you deserve?

What happened?

They were fighting.

Number 97 and number 76.

Yes, I see it.

Both on bread and water, for two days.

It will be seven days each in isolation.

No.

Isolation doesn't. That punishment was abolished.

Good morning.

Did you ask to see me, Marie?

What's the reason?

I wanted to know she has some news about my case.

Yes.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing to be done.

I received an answer. Your case is clear. There are no revision possibilities.

Show me the letter.

I destroyed it.

I don't believe her.

What do you mean?

Do you know what they all say?

That she won't do anything to get me out of here.

Marie, why shouldn't I do anything to help you?

It seems that first me I have to sleep with her.

No.

You are a whore, like all the others.

You are disgusting.

So, chick.

When can I get out of here?

Maybe soon. I think it's about to happen.

What do you mean?

Our dear angel has given orders.

No more night patrols.

I have a brilliant idea.

But we must be at least three.

Rosalie,

I...

and you.

It won't be easy. I'm 30 km through the jungle.

And if we don't make it,

we are in deep shit.

I do not care.

So, all right?

Agree.

Here you are.

Hold. Here are the keys.

I inform you now there is a new rule.

If overnight a inmate falls ill,

you have to play.

But if you disturb the guards without reason, then you will be punished.

I feel sick!

I am sick.

What happens?

I am sick.

If you make a move you I plant the knife in my throat!

I can't take it anymore.

Rosalie, please. Be strong.

We can't rest now. We can't stop here!

Courage, don't give up!

We are over the worst.

Recover yourself.

Do you hear it?

Alarm sirens.

They realized we ran away.

Those bastards

they alerted the men's penitentiary!

Come on, hurry up!

But look at that beautiful figure!

Is there a parade?

A fashion show?

We seem to serve each other by the same tailor. Look!

When did you escape?

This morning.

Where is Juan Diego?

Come on, come here.

- Are you Rosalie? - Yes, I'm Rosalie.

Where is Juan Diego? I was counting on running away with him.

He gave me this.

It must be yours.

Yes, it's mine. What happened?

The guards killed Juan Diego when they saw us flee.

Oh Juan!

I'm on your trail.

When we escaped we were going to work.

It was then that Juan...

I'll thank you later for what you did.

Tell me, do you know the jungle well?

No.

But the sea shouldn't be far away.

We better stick together.

Well, we better lift our heels. Or it will all be useless.

What do we do now?

Let's go to the river. If we follow it, it will take us to the sea.

Which way?

Let's go to the mountains. We will find it.

But this way not we will go to the sea!

If you have any other suggestions…

We will do as he says.

Come on, let's go. Quickly!

They are going into the jungle.

I don't think so they will find in the mountains.

No, we can't do it!

Yes, we can do it!

Forward.

No, Rosalie, please stop.

Be brave.

You and Juan were like two brothers, right?

Yes

like two brothers.

Did she ever talk about me?

Often.

She always said you were there most delightful girl in the world.

And when he died, did he say my name?

Yes, sure.

He told me to bring you a kiss col message "for my dear Rosalie".

And then she told me, "Ricardo be nice to her.

She's a good girl. Take care of her."

I loved it.

Me too.

He was… a wonderful boy.

I will never forget it either.

Oh, Juan, my love.

I loved you so much.

Oh, Rosalie, you are so beautiful.

Come on, get out.

Go on.

Ten minute break.

Hey, Freddy!

Freddy! It's me, Ricardo!

What do you want?

You are hungry?

It is not enough! We are a party of four.

Here it is.

Quick, get out of here.

It's all OK?

Yes.

Continue. I'll handle that.

Not so fast.

Leave them be. They just escaped.

I am sentenced to life, and I am I haven't seen a woman for ten years!

This was Ricardo's lament.

We have to go save him.

If you want to help him, go ahead: we fight it!

Those brutes have taken it.

it's awful. What's going to happen?

I don't know, but we can't stay here!

Come on, let's go!

We have to run again!

What if they see us?

We have to take risks.

Where are you going in such a hurry, my angels?

Your impatience makes you even more desirable.

That's enough. We will start again in the morning.

Untie them!

He doesn't think they were do you punish enough?

I know what I have to do. There are some punishments for those who try to escape.

The regulation is formal, take note of it.

They will stay in this cell every day for four hours.

Corporal punishment can be administered every 24 hours.

I'm afraid these are the rules.

Corporal punishment can be inflicted every 24 hours and so it will be.

Leave the Ministry alone of Justice!

Here I am the order manager,

and will enforce it.

Tomorrow you will put me to report all inmates.

It will be my pleasure to wait for you.

I will have the pleasure of see you too tomorrow.
