THE POSSESSED - In a series of love and adventures stories.

Get out!

You stay.

Only your love can make me so infamous.

You are very strong.

Good work, Gonzalo.

Come.

What's wrong?

This man.

He'll go away.

Don't worry.

Where did he go? How could he disappear like that?

That's him!

We are alone.

They say he's a vampire.

How can you believe such nonsense?

Come.

You like me?

A lot.

Prove it to me.

I should've believed what they said about you.

No!

No!

But I will deliver you to the Holy Office.

Princess Fausta de Santillane.

The time has come for you to answer for your horrible crimes.

For your devilish passion for men.

For witchcraft and the murders of these

unfortunates that where brought to you.

For killing your first husband and so many other offenses you will suffer

the most terrible punishment.

As Grand Inquisitor

I rip from you the last symbol of your nobility.

When the executioner has done its task you will finish yours.

You will be walled in

so that your evil soul

is trapped for eternity.

Executioner, perform your office.

Your shameless beauty

will be destroyed by the mask of Satan.

No...

400 years later.

What a deluge!

Alright mother.

Alright.

I'm scared, mom.

Why my little girl?

Nothing can happen to you. You're with your family.

A delicious end of the year meeting.

Spare us your irony, Pablo.

Why not try to be more cheerful? At least tonight.

You always try to be very happy, Marcos.

Ricardo hasn't arrived yet?

No.

Your ex apparently likes to keep us waiting.

Marcos!

Sorry.

I won't do it again, my dear.

I thought tonight you'd make an effort to get dressed.

What's wrong, mom? Lucia likes to dress like that.

I don't like it.

You should not let your wife dress so badly.

Well,

It's midnight.

Let's have a toast.

Gosh! No more light, now it's complete!

Dad, don't go!

I'll just turn on the lights. Help me, Marcos.

What's wrong now?

Nobody wants to wish a good year?

You want to wish it for me, Pablo?

I'll call Ricardo.

Hello?

- It doesn't work. - The storm has cut the line.

It must be him.

Good evening.

My name is Gonzalo del Benetto.

I'm your new neighbor.

Can I enter?

Of course.

So it was you who bought the old Santillane house?

Yes Madam. How are you?

My son Marcos.

His wife Lucia.

That's my other girl Bertha and this is her husband.

- And Martha, my niece. - You're very pretty Martha.

Mom, the Mister is not wet.

I had some luck.

I was brought here by car.

Do you mind?

A drink?

Cheers.

- Hello. - At last here you are.

Excuse me for arriving so late but with this damn rain.

Happy New Year to all.

How are you Madam?

I'd like to introduce you to Mister... our new neighbor.

It is our friend Ricardo Marquez.

- How are you Mister? - Very well.

Mom, why Ricardo is wet?

A strange thing happened to me tonight.

Lightning hit the highway and my car stopped immediately.

- No way to restart. - You're not gonna tell us you walked here?

That is exactly what I did.

The most incredible thing is that I saw other cars in the same condition as mine.

As if they all failed at the same time.

Apparently you were luckier than him.

We should go have dinner. I hope the turkey isn't burned.

Finish your glass and come with us.

Give us this pleasure. Perhaps with your presence the meal will be...

more enjoyable.

There's nothing like a good glass of cognac after a good meal.

Please excuse my mother. She doesn't like to stay late.

I will help Lucia.

There's no need. Ricardo did it already.

As you know they can do anything. There are no servants here.

Simple matter of money. My mother is very measured in her spending.

I guess you did some repair work in your home.

A lot indeed. And I tried to retain its charm.

I hope I can show you one day.

You heard him?

You'll finally have the pleasure of knowing the Santillane house.

It really interests you?

Since childhood I wanted to visit. His legend impressed us so much. Right, Ricardo?

You maybe. I went only to keep you company.

You were always very gallant with my wife.

Not true, Ricardo?

Since childhood we have always been good friends.

Of course. Friends,

very good friends. - But we could never enter.

Those old doors resisted all our efforts.

Well, It's time for me to leave.

Thank you for this great evening.

And I remind you that you are invited to my house.

Especially you.

Good night.

What a funny guy.

As if his museum would interest us.

Do you remember what his name is?

It does not really matter.

Hi to you,

illustrious inhabitant of the Santillane house.

I'm sorry for being late.

Luckily the door was open.

I left it open in case you arrived before me. - How strange.

When I responded to your ad I never thought it would be a place like this.

You dislike it?

The contrary.

I think everything here is very nice.

I guess this lady is your ancestor?

It gives me great pleasure to know that you will work for me.

The ad in the newspaper was very attractive.

Young secretary,

preferably pretty,

without family bonds to work outside the capital.

5000 pesos monthly all expenses paid.

You see, I've got a good memory.

And it is to my advantage. Don't you think?

I have something else for you.

You are very pretty.

I really do not know if I'm presentable after this horrible rain.

How did you get here from the station?

A kind stranger brought me here.

It has been very difficult finding the house.

It means that no one in the village knows that you came here.

It worries you?

I had a boss once who did not want anyone to know he had a secretary.

This is exactly what I want.

I understand.

I understood, seeing those wages.

Nobody pays so much for nothing.

This makes it all...

much easier.

You go a little too fast.

Don't you think?

Fausta,

the time has come.

The black year helped me to come back from the dead.

And the miraculous coincidence occurred.

I finally found a woman like you

who will permit you to come back to life.

Your spirit will be reincarnated in her body.

And she will have to share it with you.

It is necessary that this woman come here

in order to accomplish the rite.

She will come, Fausta.

I promise you.

Dad, come on.

You could spend some time with your daughter, no?

You're here for that my love.

Perhaps here she will leave me in peace.

What happens now?

We cannot do anything without her meddling in it.

Mom does not like to see you drink, Marcos.

What she doesn't like is to see us spend money.

She keeps us all in her hand.

Subordinate to her,

even to buy cigarettes.

Yes, it is pathetic.

With all that money.

That's not your business.

Why not?

I may not be his son, my darling...

Momma.

The bitch, why she's not dying?

This is a good solution.

You're going?

Gonzalo just called me.

He insists that I go visit his house.

It'll be night soon.

What will Marcos say?

Nothing. When was he interested in what I'm doing?

Where is she going, Mom?

To the Santianne house.

I will come tonight.

The hour is approaching.

Good evening.

Welcome to my home. And in my time.

As you can see, time here has stopped.

This is fantastic.

It was not like this when we were kids

and when we came to spy.

You are a strange man Gonzalo.

I'd just say different.

It is here that the Princess Fausta... - celebrated its orgies, right?

It is also here that one night she was surprised

by her husband when she had to kill one of her lovers.

It's incredible.

- This woman... - Yes...

She is the princess Fausta.

As you can see, the resemblance is striking.

It just lacks the necklace so that it is perfect.

If you'll permit me.

This painting is the major work of the painter Serenelli.

An exceptional artist.

He was prosecuted as a sorcerer.

They said he held captive the souls of his models in his paintings.

You see, Lucia...

You are both very different.

And yet the same person.

Good and evil come together over time.

Let's toast to the meeting.

I do not like this wine.

It is very old.

Tastes have changed.

Leave it.

Your life goes down the road,

goes back in time...

goes back in time...

She's waiting for you.

A forgotten life must return.

You will be the bridge.

Travel through the centuries to meet the Princess Fausta.

To our meeting through the ages.

By bringing together the black year

and the princess that you were

a miracle happened.

You're finally with me Fausta.

Yes.

But when all is over

we will have to leave, Gonzalo.

It is necessary for you to know who this woman is.

She is from the family of your pursuers.

I know this.

Nothing that comes from this family is unknown to me.

You made me come back to life and pleasure.

And you must continue to serve me.

As before.

But...

You're forgetting your duties towards your guest, Gonzalo.

You told me

that this wine was very old.

How strange.

I barely tasted it.

The necklace!

You do not remember?

You have given it back to me.

It's better.

I thought I had lost it.

It's late. I gotta go.

- I'm needed for dinner. - I'll lead you to the door.

Thank you Gonzalo for introducing me to your home.

All this is so fascinating that for a while

I thought I was in a dream.

But what is life, Lucia, but a strange dream.

Who goes there?

Ah, it's you.

It is so cold that I thought a warm punch would do you some good.

Nobody asked you but now that you made it.

It's not bad

but I do hate that you do something without consulting me first.

I understand now why we've spent so much this month.

Go away now.

I can't.

- I must wait. - For what?

Your death.

What did you say Lucia?

I am not Lucia,

my name is Fausta.

And all this will be mine.

For that you must die.

You've become crazy!

The poison begins to take effect, Lady.

I do not know how this may please you.

I'll see if mom needs something.

If she's sleeping, do not wake her up.

It will be quieter that way.

This is the best time of the day.

Too bad my mother-in-law sleeps so little.

Pablo! Marcos!

The results of the autopsy are final.

This woman was poisoned.

Now...

we must know who did it and why.

I can not believe this is the work of a stranger.

What are you getting at, Inspector.

I mean that the culprit came to visit the victim, Madame.

To digest a charge as direct there's nothing like a glass of alcohol.

Marcos!

Oh, no, no...

For years I've endured her tyranny.

You will not take her place now.

The poison was analyzed, Inspector?

Yes.

It is an ancient formula known under the name...

"Borgias toxic".

The Borgias toxic?

That's it.

Do not tell me you believe this nonsense, Inspector.

Perhaps.

But for now nobody leaves here.

Good day Ladies.

Good day.

Well!

As if we needed that.

When I thought about a trip to celebrate.

With you my darling, of course.

Keep your irony, Marcos.

No, I do not keep anything.

I only say aloud what others keep silent.

Speak for yourself brother-in-law

but do not include us in your speech.

Well!

It seems that we're all on our nerves.

I thought I had lost it.

I can finally replace my clunker.

See you later.

I do not know which one is the worse.

You should never have come here, Lucia.

It's a little to late to complain.

I had to do it.

That's all.

Well, well!

So this is where you hide your reserves.

I do not think it is necessary that you continue to hide them.

They will always be better here.

Something tells me that there is a link between

this very old poison and the Santillane house.

No, I think not.

The solution should be here.

Only we had an interest in seeing her dead.

Him for instance.

Look at him.

Indifferent.

As if nothing happened.

He is happy.

He can finally enjoy the money that his mother always refused him.

You do not think it's him?

And why not Pablo?

Pablo, the son-in-law, has changed his car.

He now has the latest model.

The others say he will go to Europe as soon as he's allowed to leave the house.

They behaved exactly as we expected.

They got their money and they have spent it with no expense.

Besides that?

Nothing that allows us to follow a trail.

Not because we lack time.

It's been 4 weeks

and we're still at the same point.

Marcos.

What time is it?

Almost 8 o'clock.

I do not think you're interested in watching TV.

We will dine soon?

We're waiting for Pablo and Lucia.

They're not back yet.

I'll go immediately.

What're you doing here?

I waited for you my darling.

You were not in the village?

Yes.

But I'm back.

Since when do you dress like this?

I put it on for you.

Like it?

It's...

It's true?

You do not believe me.

Lucia...

She did that to you?

Yes...

Marcos!

It's her? You're sure?

Yes.

He was able to say it before losing consciousness.

Then your brother's wife was back

when you were still at home.

She tried to kill her husband and fled.

How is he Dr?

Better.

The injury's serious but he's not in danger.

Can I interrogate him?

Not at the moment, he's sleeping.

But you can probably do it tomorrow.

I will return in the morning.

- Good night. - Good night Dr.

Still doctor...

I cannot believe that Lucia did it.

But then...

why would your brother lie?

Hello?

Yes, it's me Pablo.

What?

You're sure?

Wait a moment please.

Inspector...

- Lucia is innocent. - How?

My husband is on the telephone.

They burst a tire coming here. They spent three hours

on the highway before someone picked them and drove them to the village.

- This is where he's calling from. - Do you mind?

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Talk!

He hung up.

Inspector,

if it is not Lucia,

who wanted to kill my brother?

Why did you do that Fausta?

I want to continue living beyond the black year.

You know you can't.

Everything comes to an end at the end of the black year.

Yes I can, only this cursed family prevents me.

Its destruction is my life.

And me?

You do not think about me?

When the black year finishes, I will die with it

and I'll lay forever in my coffin.

You've always been my most faithful servant.

Your boundless love denied me nothing.

You cease to help me when I need you the most.

No...

No Bertha, take her away!

She wants to kill me! Take her away!

Marcos, listen to me.

Please do not let her.

She wants to kill me. Promise me you will not leave me alone with her.

Marcos. It could not have been.

They were very far from here when someone hurt you.

It was her who did it.

Please, do not let her come in anymore.

Her and Ricardo.

There's too many coincidences

First an ancient poison and now a dagger from the Renaissance.

I was trying to investigate the legend of the Santillane.

You knew that the Princess Fausta died walled in this house?

It seems that her life was an eternal scandal.

She was a sick woman, always eager for new lovers...

that she killed after love.

You keep thinking that there's a relation there with what happens to us.

I think it all started with the arrival of this strange man.

Remember during new year's when he told us that his car was the only one

not broken down.

And how could he arrive without getting wet in the middle of this terrible storm?

And the phone started to work again and the lights came on

exactly when he entered in our house.

This man is not normal.

We've never seen him in the day and he lives alone in this huge house.

He has no servants. What is he doing? What is he looking for there?

I will talk to him.

No.

You would awake his suspicions.

Maybe what you found on Fausta could put us on a track.

What else did you learn about her?

She had relationships with wizards and necromancers.

She was even accused of having relationships with a human vampire.

- A vampire? - Yes.

It was claimed that with his help, she murdered her husband.

This is why she was walled in?

No. It was much later. I'll tell about her first husband.

First she tried to stab him. But she only succeeded in hurting him.

Wait.

While he was convalescing

she strangled him in his own bed.

Ricardo,

I am afraid.

I just remembered.

In his house Gonzalo showed me a portrait.

It was a portrait of Fausta.

She looks like me.

For a moment

I thought the woman in the portrait

was me.

I understand.

It seems that by a supernatural fact

you're forced to relive her experiences at other times.

There was one thing that distinguished us.

Her collar.

So you continue to believe that it was your wife.

No,

I do not believe it Inspector.

I am sure.

I saw her as I see you now.

But your brother says she was with him

when someone tried to kill you.

Yes...

and what does it prove?

You do not understand that he must be in cahoots with her.

Anyway this is not enough.

We will need to have more evidence.

Please...

do not leave me alone again.

I've been watching you work for awhile.

Why don't you do something more interesting?

You do not seem very nice to me.

What happened to you?

Why don't you speak?

It is better for you to go.

Why?

I do not like people like you.

Okay.

I'll go but first tell me. Why do you hate me?

Look at me and look at you.

You believe that there's a lot of differences between us, right?

You are mistaken.

There is none.

I understand.

You are the kind of woman who seek adventures.

Does it matter to you?

No.

To be true, no.

Let me go! You disgust me!

If they find me, you will unleash terror upon us.

You will screw everything.

Yes, you're right. Help me Gonzalo.

We will have to hide the body.

Where is Lucia?

I already told you. She left this afternoon.

I've found her a room at the hotel in the village.

And why didn't she go to the capital?

She wanted to, but the Inspector has forbidden it.

Close all the doors.

And lock everything up.

- Like that, she cannot return. - She cannot do it.

Now you can really rest Marcos.

I do need to rest.

I am very tired.

Don't turn it off.

With the light on I feel better.

See you tomorrow, Marcos.

Pass it to me please.

Thank you.

Try to sleep.

All you do will be useless.

You're very weak.

Farewell Marcos.

We can no longer suspect her.

She was in the village when her husband was murdered.

And him?

He is our last chance.

And what happened with the blacksmith?

Nothing. As if he's vanished from earth's surface.

We will keep on searching.

Lucia,

forgive me for having doubting you.

I want you to come home.

- I do not know if I must do it. - You have to do it.

This is your home.

Thank you Bertha. I will return then.

What have you learned?

We must do something.

Lucia.

What a nice surprise.

Gonzalo, what are you looking for here?

What I'm looking for?

Believe me, I do not understand.

Since your arrival some very strange things have happened.

My husband and my mother were murdered.

Who are you?

Why do you have this portrait?

What's wrong with that?

This woman.

Why does she look so much like me?

She could be me.

Only her eyes are different.

They are cruel and without mercy.

Gonzalo, terror came with you.

I just ask you, beg you, to go.

I will go when the time comes.

I should have guessed that it would be useless.

Nobody can thwart the inevitable.

Everything is written in the holy book of life.

Now it is you who nearly destroyed our plan.

She must continue to live. Until the end of the black year.

Then I will be able to leave with you.

I can not allow myself to think of losing you forever.

I'll know how to reward your sacrifice.

For you I was the most despicable man, the most vile.

In your name I have committed only shameful acts.

And do not ask me what I would never do...

to leave you behind.

Oh, yes you will.

You will have to do it. Because I'm asking you.

In the time that remains for you to live,

I will make you know what no other man has lived.

I will make you happy Gonzalo,

very happy.

We were on the highway when the car stopped.

Continue.

Pablo told me he had to find a mechanic in the village.

How long did you stay alone?

A little over an hour.

On his return I saw him very nervous.

He told me someone had killed my husband.

And that we would both receive a lot of money.

And why wait until now to make this statement?

I was very scared.

He swore he would kill me if I said a word.

When I returned I saw Marcos

I prefered to stay silent.

This is why your husband was murdered.

I know, I know. But I never thought he would do it a second time.

You could have guessed it. Previously he had killed your mother?

Yes, it was he who killed her.

What makes you think it was your brother-in-law?

Because in the closet of his room

he still keeps a bit of poison.

I saw it when arranging his room.

Is that all?

Would you read your statement?

- Anything new? - No, boss.

No trace of this man.

My brother-in-law must not know that it's I who denounced him.

He will not know anything until he goes on trial.

Now we just have to find the poison.

Here it is, Inspector.

Everything makes me think that this is the poison that was used to kill your mother.

You say it is poison?

It was found in your room. Now, will you tell me how this poison fell in your hands?

In my...

- Inspector, this is the first time I saw it. - This is not the only evidence.

I have other evidence, much more convincing than this.

- I prefer to keep them for later. - This is absurd.

- How do you think I committed these crimes? - How?

Lucia, you know it is not me.

Of course, Inspector,

he was with me far from here when someone tried to kill my husband.

But very close from where he was finally murdered.

I'm sorry but you'll have to come with us.

No Pablo, do not go.

Do not worry Bertha.

All will be well.

See you soon.

How was the poison was found in his room?

I should have seen it.

There is only one explanation.

Someone put it there.

Yes,

it probably happened like that,

but who?

As I said in my announcement

you won't have a lot of work.

More than work, I will just ask you for a little company.

In the announcement there was nothing of the sort, Sir.

I did not think it was so important.

For me it is.

And now I understand that I should not have come from so far

without checking who you were before.

And what will you do?

I will leave immediately.

No.

Don't go.

I'm sorry Mrs. but your husband is no longer here.

He was sent to the capital this morning.

You must go. You cannot leave him alone.

Take care of my little girl please Lucia.

If we hurry she can take the 3 o'clock train.

Let's go. I'll help you pack your bags.

- Good afternoon. Thank you. - Good afternoon.

Tell me, my aunt, why my parents are not here?

I've already told you. They are in the capital.

- Buying Christmas gifts? - Yes.

They will come back soon?

I hope. And now we sleep.

- Some coffee? - No thank you.

We must make a decision Lucia.

I do not want you to stay here any longer.

I have to wait until they return. I have to think about the little girl.

And you think Pablo will return?

You also begin to doubt him?

No, Ricardo.

Someone put the poison in his room.

And it is the same person who, the same way,

eliminated one more person from my family.

That's my fault.

I should have dealt with this rascal.

But there's still time.

But you still don't get it?

If Gonzalo really has supernatural powers

what can you do against him?

I don't know but we can't let him keep on acting like this.

Lucia,

you know I love you.

You're the only one left.

Me...

and the little girl.

I'm going to the village.

You should come with me.

Great! We will buy garlands for the Christmas tree.

Let's go.

Martita.

Martita.

Martita.

Ricardo!

Martita has disappeared!

Aunt, I do not like this house.

You have not seen everything yet.

Come.

Look.

A secret entrance.

Go on.

It is necessary that you find out what better things are in there.

I'm certain he's here.

I've been there for a long time.

Now it is you who will replace me.

What happened to you? - I feel as if I've just got burned. Look.

- Martita, what happened to you? - Martita, what do you have?

It's her! She tried to kill me.

Do not leave me with her. She's very bad.

Martita, what have I done to you?

I do not want to. I do not want to see her.

I'll take you home.

No, not there. Take me with you.

That's ok, that's ok. I'll take you to my home.

She insists that it's you.

First it was Marcos.

Now she is accusing you.

You know what it means?

It is a treatise on parapsychology.

The science that studies supernatural phenomena.

Also explained is the strange phenomenon of bilocation.

- You know what it is? - No.

Bilocation:

Is said about a body possessed by a spirit

who had the same physical characteristics in his past life.

You understand?

You think the spirit of Fausta...

Yes, I think that on some occasions she could

have taken your body and your mind. Impersonating you.

But still it is impossible.

- I was very far when she... - This can also be explained.

Bilocation allows dual ubiquity.

You could be here for example while she was kidnapping the girl at the same time...

But then,

this burn? - Martita explained.

She had a chandelier dropped on the arm of Fausta.

As she is immaterial, only a spirit,

it is you who has suffered the consequences of fire.

Lucia, I do not want you to stay here a minute longer.

You're in great danger. No, it's useless. This time I'm not leaving without you.

I want you to go back to the hotel and I will have you watched.

Tomorrow I will speak to the Inspector.

- What happened? - Bertha called from Mexico. She's furious.

- She claims that it's me who accused Pablo. - You?

You see, we should not have stayed here.

It is essential that we go to the capital and that you clarify everything.

We'll take the first train tomorrow.

It's probably her.

But why does she want to destroy us? What is this woman looking for?

I don't know

but you will only be safe far from here.

I'll buy the train tickets and I'll pick you up to go to dinner.

At least we'll be together to confront her if she comes.

See you later.

You!

I came for you.

When the year is completed, you will accompany me into oblivion.

She needs your body.

Lucia...

Lucia!

Sir...

You know what happened to her? - No...

But she left a message for you. She awaits you this evening at her home.

Her home?

Thank heaven, nothing happened to you.

Why would something have happened to me, Ricardo?

Arriving at the hotel and not finding you I panicked. And when I got your message,

I thought the worst.

Idiot.

I hope that the champagne is fresh.

What I do not understand is why you decided to come back.

It was agreed that you would never come back here.

I thought that there will no better place for you and me waiting for the new year.

And this necklace?

- I've never seen it. - It's that...

I never wear it.

It was offered to me a long time ago.

Well, please, open the bottle now.

I have to hurry. It is almost midnight.

At midnight we will leave.

As soon as the new year begins.

She will be the master of your body forever.

I want to start the year...

loving you.

For the transmutation to take place,

it is necessary to celebrate the rite.

When the last stroke sounds

your lovely face will be destroyed.

As was the face of Fausta 400 years ago.

The term will be fulfilled.

You are not Lucia.

She never would have behaved like you.

Your death...

would have been softer.
