Devil in the Brain (1972) - full transcript

Sandra!

Go go!

Sandra!

I'm a friend of Mrs. Garcet.
I want to say hello

Hey! Didn't you hear me?
Take me to Mrs Garcet.

She's not here.

But I just saw her arrive

Listen, I'm her friend...
Oscar Mino

I've been overseas...
I just returned

Please tell her
I'm here.

If she's not here... how
can I tell her you're here?



Look! There she is! You
can't tell me it isn't her!

There's only one Madam here...
Contessa Claudia Odya D'Blanc

And she doesn't see anyone.

This is alright.
- Are you sure?-

Tell them to bring up my bags
- Okay-

I confess... this is the
grand life!

Come on. Come on.
You'll see.

It's just marvelous.

Nice terrace, eh?...

And if you want some sun...
there are the chairs.

The park belongs to Odya D'Blanc
...and you should see her house

It's one of the oldest mansions
in the city

It's a quite family. You never
see or hear anything from them.

You're doing it all wrong



What am I doing wrong?
Are you talking to me?

E fin tropical Vicente, sa?

Always closed up in that house,
looking after the garden...

It's obvious she's studying for a course...

Look, it doesn't bother me at all.
Actually, I'm happy for them.

People like Blanc should be robbed...

Because so much wealth just isn't right...

It takes away your desire to work,
to make an effort.

Sandra! Sandra!
Sandrina!

Miss, you're mother is about to
leave. She wants to see you.

What is it Martin?
- Someone is over there-

Ricky, pray to your father.

Look Over here, look.

Don't be silly.
- Stop it-

Talk. Say something.

What do you want me to say?
Cha Cha Cha

What are you doing, Fabrizio?
Can't you see he's crying?

Good Ricky. Good Ricky.

Come on, Fabrizio,
He fell asleep. -Be quite-

Don't you dare touch me.

Okay, princess. As you wish.

Can I take some sun. Or should
I be confined to the bedroom?

Stop it, Fabrizio.

Ricky!

Come here. Quickly.
Give me your hand...

Come on!

Oh Ricky---
how you scared your mother!

Can you explain your stupidity?

Don't scream at him.
He didn't do it on purpose.

He certainly did it on
purpose!...

You baby him to much, you're always
kissing and fondling

And if he's not around...
it's a crisis!

Please, let's talk later.

We aren't talking at all!...

I'm going to the city.
I'll see you tomorrow.

How wonderful!
He's leaving!

But Ricky!

I'm happiest when he's
not here.

What are you doing hear?
What do you want?

I don't know...

I came to say hi to Sandra.
But everything is so strange.

I'm Oscar Mino, an old friend of
Sandra and Fabrizio.

Oh yes. I remember...

And you left to go
overseas, Right?

I just returned a few days ago.
And I heard about Fabrizio

How did it happen.
Was he sick?

An accident. He was cleaning
a gun and it went off

Ricky pray!

And how is Sandra? I'd like to
see her, maybe---

Sandra is about to leave
on a trip. She can't see anybody

I'll tell her you said hello.
Goodbye...

Let's go Ricky.

Hey!

Come here!

Come down!

Careful.

Sandra!

Sandra! Wait a minute!

I knew you wanted to talk...
that's why I called to you

I saw you.
What's your name?

Sandra! It's me, Oscar.
Don't you recognise me?

Of course I recognise you.
You yelled at me in the car.

No! From before!...
Excuse me... Sandra!

You couldn't have forgotten me

I know a lot of years have passed

But we used to see each
other all the time

You really don't remember me?

Ha! This is great!...

I return after all these years.
My first thought is about you

I try to see you
and they wont let me

And now--- I guess it's a
mystical conspiracy

I saw your mother and
your son this morning.

What? What are you saying?
I don't have a son.

He's not your son?

Excuse me. How could I have a son
if I'm not married? Huh?

You know in good families, girls
don't have babies illegitimately

My mother tells me I'll
have those things later

But for now--- she doesn't want
anybody to see me

I'm always here alone. Alone.

These are my designs

Do you like them?...

Aren't they beautiful?...

No. These are old. From a
long time ago.

Oh Sandra. Oh little Sandra

If you accepted my love
this wouldn't have happened

Fabrizio couldn't---

Yes, everything would've been
different

Listen, Promise you won't go away.
Don't leave me alone.

Certainly. I'll come back.

Swear it.

It's something incredible.
She's a beautiful girl...

She seemed normal

How is it possible she doesn't
remember anything or anyone?

I never saw them from the time
they moved to the lake

I didn't see them until I heard
about the accident

I never thought Sandra would
be so impressionable.

She seems like a different person.
Not the same at all

And not a nurse anywhere.
Why?... Only a guard.

They probably gave her some special
treatment. They're rich.

But who? What did they do?
And why did she get sick?

Is there any hope of
her getting well again?

What business is it of yours?
Your not her parent...

You're nothing to Sandra.

I'm closer than a parent

When I left, she was happily
married... but now she's alone

And now I feel the responsibility
to take care of her

It can't hurt.

There's a family doctor...
Dr. Vinkle. I'll check with him.

On your card it said:
Dr. Vinkle.

Actually it said
'On behalf on Dr Vinkle.'

He's a medical associate

I'm Dr Buontempi

The Dr asked me to check on
some of his patients

Your daughter Sandra
is one of them.

Dr Vinkle isn't a specialist.
We have one now.

Excuse me... Who?

Dr Nistri.

Strange. Nistri is a Doctor of
great reputation

I never thought he would handle
a case through correspondence

Madam, for months he's been
teaching in America at Princeton

I don't need to explain
myself to you

The health of my daughter
is my only concern

I know what to do for her

I assure you. Sandra is fine.

She doesn't need anything.

She would be normal if
she were ten years old...

But she's-----?

Who is it?

Emilio? Is that you?
Did you find out anything?

Yes, yes. I found out something
...unfortunately I did.

Come on. Talk I know you
called when I was out-----

What time is it?

I don't know. Tell me...
Did you see Sandra? What?

Tomorrow the mother and daughter
are going to the clinic

I convinced the lady to let me
examine Sandra.

Tell me... then---?

Then... that's enough.
I'm getting back to sleep.

The doctor is making his rounds

He said the patient you're
waiting for isn't here yet.

They should have been here
hours ago

You talk please.

Just ask if the contessa is
still at home.

- Hello?-
- Yes?-

Please can you tell me if the
lady is at home?

No the Contessa has gone.
- What did you say?-

She's left.
- Left?-

Ask him where?

Excuse me, can you tell me
where?

EXCUSE me H moment.

Hello. Excuse me who is this?

I'm a nurse from St. Teresa
hospital. -Oh, St. Teresa-

Yes . -Why?-

It's about little Ricky.
It's important.

The Contessa has gone to
her country home.

Thank you. Good day.

Excuse me, Emilio. They
took her away

I think I know where they went.
Come with me.

I don't know if I have the right
to get involved in this mess.

Of course you do.
You're a doctor

You know any sickness can
be cured only through treatment

You have every right to demand
an explanation

Don't you think it's strange
they took her away...

Instead of coming here?
I think something is wrong.

Amazing!
Is that yours? -Yeah .-

What did you do?
Kill a sheriff?

What do you mean? Don't you
remember? I had a rich uncle...

And I was his favourite.

But you made a fortune
in Venezuela.

I worked like a dog for
years in Venezuela.

When you were chasing Sandra

People thought you were
doing it for the money

But they can't say that
anymore.

This time no one is going to
take her away from me

Hopefully, we wont be to late.

Excuse me. I hope you don't
mind if I drive fast

This car suffers when
it goes too slow

At 100 I start living.

You found fortune but you
didn't find happiness.

That's why I came back.

I never heard of this property
of the D'Blanca's family.

You probably don't know how
much they really have

Think about it. One time, Sandra
said she wanted to marry me

...so she could live in a small
2 bedroom apartment.

But instead she married the rich
Fabrizio Garcet

Listen to me, Oscar

Z rooms are a dream for
the person who has only one.

How dare you come here!...

I'm warning you! I'm sick of
being spied upon

If this continues, I'll find a
way to end this persecution

Call the police if you want...

But first, I want to hear
your reasoning

You have a responsibility to
your sick daughter!

Why did you bring her here
instead of the clinic?

Dr Buontempi convinced me that
Sandra needed treatment

So I followed his advice

But I have the right to decide
WHO should treat my daughter.

Where is she now?

In Switzerland, a special clinic
...away from bothersome people.

And you Dr Buontempi,
don't you think------?

Sandra!

Oscar! Oscar!
No!

Please, miss. Please.

No! I wont be locked up in
this room! Let me go!...

Oscar!

Sandra! Sandra!

Sandra my little girl---
what have you done?

You hate me! -No-
Yes, you hate me!...

You wanted to send my friend away
because you know I love him

No! No! He can stay here
all day...

I invited him to stay here
...tell her your staying. Huh?

Of course I'll stay Sandra
I'll stay all day.

My hair is such a mess.
Who ruined my dress?...

Go away.
I must change my clothes...

I have so much to do.

This never happened before. This
is the first time. I swear.

It's going to happen again
and again

Always more frequently

Your daughter needs treatment
now... quickly

Too much time has been lost.

But my daughter---
I know what's wrong with her

She can't face her memories.

Ma'am, you can't really think
her state of mind is good

Certainly she's managed to block
out fabrizio's death

But she's also erased her sense
of maternity

She must be cured for her son.
For the boy's sake.

Yes, for him. Her son---
what does she know about him?...

She can't imagine.

Now I've seen it all! Your
mother will be so upset...

You know that doll was a gift
from your father.

Sandra? Are you there?

Come. Come, mom.
I'm ready.

Fabrizio called. He's going
to see his lawyer...

And he wanted me to go along.
I said no

I know what he wants to tell me.

You don't want to
reconsider?

Reconsider? Reconsider the
lawyer? Pardon me...

But why should I care about
dinner with Fabrizio's lawyer?

But you can't hide. You must
become social someday

Listen, Sandra. Do you know what
Fabrizio said this morning?

Mom, stop talking about
Fabrizio...

You always go on about what
he said...

And then I'm supposed to respond
...Really!...

His mistresses are the only ones
who care about what he says

Excuse me, Mother. I didn't
mean to say that

I'm so upset. Forgive me

I'm so tired. Understand?
I can't take it anymore

And now Ricky is involved

He has gotten out of control
I can't leave him alone

He's becoming aggressive.
Sometimes he seems full of hate

Understand? Know what I mean?

The truth is... your just a
little girl

A selfish girl who wants to
pretend none of this is real

You'd be happy to sleep
with your dolls...

...instead of your husband.
Isn't that true?

No. Do you know just how naive
you are, mother?...

Fabrizio... when I'm in bed...
puts these dolls around me

He says they turn him on...
An erotic stimulus...

Hey! There's one missing.

Your son took it.
He's acting a bit strange...

I saw him with it
in the garden.

Why did you take my doll. Huh?
Give it to me. Right now.

It's not true. I took nothing!

Stop lying. Ricky, you pinned it
on a tree with an arrow

I took nothing. I don't know what
you're talking about.

Well? What's new?

Your son is a liar.

It's not true. Not true.
I swear.

Here's what it's about Fabrizio

I don't care about details
I believe him

In fact I congratulate him on
his good sense in attitude

The only way to live with females
is to lie

From the start

Ricky's only mistake is
he gets found out.

Ricky! What am I going to
do with you?

Just imagine!...

Fabrizio always wanted me to
visit...

What? I can't offer?

No, Sandra told me to invite
you people.

Do you have cigarettes?
- Sandra?-

Did you leave them behind?
- Fabrizio?-

Sandra! Sandra!
Fabrizio?

Sandra!
- What is it?-

You told me to invite the lawyer
Simonne... and his wife.

Oh no! For God's sake.
Please. Please. Send them away

Immediately! Please!
Quickly! Make them leave

I locked Ricky in his room.
Please send them away.

Good evening, Sandra. Please
excuse us for being a bit late

I bet this villa is beautiful.

Please, excuse us.
Ricky isn't feeling well

I didn't have time------

What's wrong?
- For dinner-

It's impossible. Not for
dinner tonight.

That's okay. Just give us some wine.
We can talk.

Everything was so unorganized.
He was sick...

And now he's in his room...
and--- and---

Did you call a doctor?
Does he have a fever?

No!

How did you do it?
How did you get out?

It wasn't closed. It----

Go! Go to your room!

Mom. Mom. Behind there is a
dead person.

What are you saying Sandra?
What?

Ricky did it. He killed
somebody!

Ricky?

A Vagabond.

A bum was hiding in the cabana
where Sandra sunbaths

Ricky shot him with
the bow and arrow

It went right through his neck

Maybe it was an accident...
maybe he didn't know

Ricky! It's not possible...

And he's so attached to
his mother.

No! He hates me

He only follows me
to spy on me. Torment me

He's ripped my clothes to
pieces. Burns my pictures

And when I yelled at him
for destroying my doll...

...he poisoned the dog.

I just don't know what to do
anymore

Understand? Sandra is becoming
more afraid

I sent the servants away
because of the crisis

Even Caterina. We didn't want
any witnesses.

You did the right thing.

It's my fault. My fault.

I never had the courage
to face reality

A normal kid

Sandra didn't want him to
stray to far from home

She watched him carefully

She was scared. He never
talked to her

Yes. Yes. I screwed everything
up

I let him get worse
and worse.

Ricky killed a man!

No.

These? You can't have these.
You can have one later.

I dumped the body here
in the gully

I almost lost my head when I
heard you and Simonne arriving

Should we inform the police?...

It will be worse now...
they'll find the body

Ricky is just a sick boy

He needs a doctor
not the police

I can't hand him over
to the police

It would be better if
I say I killed him...

I could say he was a crook
and---

You're not doing anything
like that!

I don't want a scandal

And I don't think we need to
worry about a Vagabond

We should just turn this
waterhole into a tomb.

It's risky.
What about the law?

The law? I've always obeyed
the law

But we can't allow ourselves
to be compromised by it

Please, Ricky needs our help
Let me take care of it

I know what to do.

You're an extraordinary woman
Claudia

The most extraordinary woman
I've ever known.

Mother. I don't want to see
Ricky...

Please. Send him away.

Calm down dear. We're dealing
with everything

Nearby there's a school run
by nuns. They take care of----

Difficult children

I know mother superior

I'll tell her you're sick and
we need help with the child

She wont ask many questions.

Claudia, It's better if you
take Ricky soon.

I'm going to the city
for Dr Vinckle

Get well as soon as you can.

Ricky!

Ricky... come.
Move! We must go.

Come on. Move!

Come on. Let's go.

I'm going dear.
Try to relax...

Don't get out of bed.
Your mother will be back soon

And I'll try to be quick...
...It's over.

And I'll try to be quick...
...It's over.

You stay there.

May I help you?

I am Madam D'Blanc. I have an
appointment with Mother Superior

Oh yes. Did you bring the child?

Yes. He's in the car.
- Good-

Please. Can you give me a ride.
Please? -Get in-

Excuse me, ma'am.
No one is answering.

Impossible. My daughter is
in bed. How could nobody answer?

I could redial.

No, forget it.
Dial this other number.

Office of Dr Vinkle.

This is Ms. Odya D'Blanc...

Mr Garcet had an appointment
with Dr Vinkle. Is he there?

- Hello?-
Is that you Fabrizio?

- Yes-
Ricky has escaped...

And nobody answers at the house
...What should we do?

- Continue searching-
I'm heading home.

Gustavo, have you seen my
nephew come by?

No, Contessa.
Not today.

Sandra? Ricky?

Sandra?

Mother! Mom!
Mother!

I didn't want to.
What would you have done?

Everything's ready. Are you
coming to the table?

Darling?...

Well, if you want.
Let's go to the table.

I'm sorry. But I must
go back to the city.

Excuse me. Didn't you say----?

I wasn't planning to be away
so long. I have an appointment.

Mother?

And you, Mr Mino?
Will you stay for lunch?...

Doctor, my chauffeur will
take you to town.

This is for Moreno.
- Who is Moreno?-

He's my friend. Come with me.
You could meet him too.

Wait. Why don't you have your
cocktail first?

You're right.
In a certain sense...

She seems so calm.
Just like a little girl.

A couple of years ago, Sandra
liked me a lot

She was almost totally
in love with me

Then one day I introduced
Fabrizio to her

I wasn't part of your
circle... I was very poor

But for me, the way she is now
reminds me of then

I just wanted you to know this
...before I go any further.

Hey, Morena!
I brought you a gift.

Go.

No. Not you.
He's jealous, you know.

How beautiful you are.

Aren't you in love with me?

A long time ago I was in love

A girl like you

She had hair like yours...
eyes like yours...

Even the same skin.
Her name was Sandra, too.

Did you marry this girl?
no

No?

So then you can marry me!

I think I'd like
being married.

Look at what I did today---

But I don't like them!
I don't like them at all!

Do you like it?
Eh

Of course... but try
to get along.

Excuse me, reverend Mother...

I just talked to Contessa
D'Blanc by phone...

No doctor has
authorization to see Ricky

What should I do?

Please. Please. I'll talk to
the Contessa today...

And tell Dr Buontempi he has
my permission

It's about time someone came
to visit that boy.

Thank you, Mother.

Here...

...Here it's easy.

Can I play with it?

Certainly, it's yours.

Okay, let him have it first...
because he didn't ask for it.

What's your name?
- Ricardo Garnet-

OK... Let's see. MMMmmmmm...

Do you prefer this one
or this?

I don't want anything.
- What?-

You don't like toys?
- Yes. But I don't want them-

Did the nuns punish you?

No. Not the nuns.
But from the beginning---

I'm so bad, I must always be
punished in here.

I don't care about what
happened in the past

I only met you today...

Would you except a gift
for being good today?

Do you like it?
Do you want it?

Hey! Emilio!
What a day!...

I was about to call
and thank you

If it weren't for you, I
would've never convinced Claudia

You'll see... I won't bother
you anymore...

No more! It's fantastic!
Sandra loves me! I swear!...

She loves me.

It's not finished Oscar

There's something new...
Something very complicated

I went to the school and
talked to Ricky.

You did what?

The kid is normal. He's a
complex character

Timid. And aggressive...

With a strong sense of justice
that torments him.

I told you to help me
not get involved with that!

You're wrong. You didn't ask
me to help just you...

You wanted me to help Sandra

And I'm following my
professional instincts

Every time I try to understand
a neurotic patient

I try to get into the brain
of the patient

To see who the responsible person
really is

A gesture. An emotion.
The mother. The father

And the patient himself...

This time the investigation goes
beyond the brain

Because in Sandra's sickness
there is murder...

Actually two murders ...and
Ricky didn't do it.

Then who did?

There are so many questions...
So few answers.

Where are you going?

To look for other answers...
right ones.

Even if they are the
most dangerous.

I don't know what you're going
to find here

The villa was closed
after Fabrizio's death

And we're here at night
like two thieves

But it's strange how much Claudia
confided in us.

Look at this. What do you think?

Could a kid with a bow-and-arrow
shoot through this?...

Something isn't making sense
in Claudia's story

If we could verify the situation
that sent Ricky to the school...

We'd be closer to understanding
the solution.

If the child was accused wrongly
...why didn't he complain?...

How do you explain that

Children can be very weak
in this world of grown-ups

Everybody knew Ricky
told lies

So, who would believe him when
he said anything?

What do you mean?

You know...

If it's true that he killed
a Vagabond...

...and Ricky was locked in his room
by a key

He could have only gotten
out through the window

But someone must have seen him

There was the lawyer Simonne
and his wife...

No. Even in this story...
Someone is lying

Do you realise----
- Yes. Yes. Fine.-

Amazing Ha! I ask for help
from a doctor...

And he turns into a
police detective!...

When I need a spy
I'll go to the ambulance squad.

OK, Oscar... I----

No! Come on. Say some more!
But say it clearly!

I think the crime of the child--
was done by an adult

...with a distorted
mental state of a child

And that's Sandra.

What! You really think Sandra---

What about the shock AFTER her
husbands death?...

It didn't happen before. BEFORE...
she was fine!

That's your story! Do you know
what Dr Vinkle thinks?...

Yes, I went to see him...

And he confirmed Fabrizio went
to see him that morning...

But NOT to talk about
the condition of his son...

...but rather the condition of
his wife, Sandra.

Why didn't you tell me this
immediately? Huh?...

What do you want to do?
What are you saying?

I'll put everything in the
hands of the police.

I won't let you do this...

Emillio! Did you hear me?
You won't do this!...

I'm sure Sandra is innocent.
I'm sure of it!...

I don't want her to suffer!
I'll do anything to protect her

Be careful, Emillio.
You don't know me very well.

I'm sorry, Emillio.

It's true your right, Oscar

I'm not a cop. But with two
bodies... we need the cops.

Wait. Where are you going?
Let's talk. Wait...

Emillio. Let's talk. Wait.
Please...

Emillio. Look. The two statues.
Remember?...

The place the Contessa
was talking about

Maybe we could figure this out
if we saw the body.

Stop, Oscar! I'm sorry for what
is happening...

But it's out of our hands now.

The drain must be here someplace

Ms Claudia said the body
was dumped here

I want to see the wound---

After so many months
you won't see much.

Then, we'll call the police.

You're such a hardhead...
Here. Here's the light.

Give me a stick.

What is this?
Emillio! Emillio, come on down!

Yeah.

Emillio! look at this!
It's heavy

Without an autopsy...
Is this the Vagabond?

The child can't stay
with his mother

She's good for him...
but it's dangerous

If you give him a toy,
he'll play with it

Give him paper and he'll write

A gun and he'll shoot

When someone kills a man
I remain indifferent

But when a child is hurt,
I am ready to fight.

I agree with you

But I'm afraid of what will
happen to Sandra...

...if we call the police

The interrogation, the analysis,
her state of mind

...on top of everything she's
been through

And what if she's not guilty?...

What if the truth is
something else?...

I'd never forgive myself for
being so cruel to her

Would you be able to
forgive yourself?...

Listen. Why don't we give it a
few days before deciding

Let's try to clear up
the dark questions

There are so many...

The supposed dead man in the gully,
What was that about?...

And we should find out
if Fabrizio was cleaning a gun...

My opinion... a crazy person
doesn't think of consequences

She wouldn't concoct
such a plan

Come on, let's get some coffee.
I have to make a phone call.

Two coffees
- Okay-

Contessa Odya D'Blanc, please

No. No, that's OK, just tell
her Oscar Mino called...

And I'll return the call around
10 or 10.30. Good. Thank you.

So you are friends of
Contessa D'Blanc?

Yes. We are.

What a tragedy! It happened here
right on the lake

To tell the truth, it felt like
something wasn't going right

Letting all the servants go...
even the personal maid

Then they wouldn't see
any visitors

They were always alone

And I think--- if Fabrizio
won't by himself---

But he wasn't alone.
His wife was there.

No. No. Mrs Sandra wasn't in
the house... she was here

I saw her myself.
- Excuse me------

Are you sure about this?

Listen, this is Milano...
Fabrizio's death is big news

Of course I'm sure of
the facts

The lady came right
through there...

I even remember what she wore...
a brown outfit

Somebody had called her house
and...

...said her son had an accident
in front of this place

But that wasn't true, there
was no accident

But Sandra was so upset!

So what could've happened?

There are too many pieces of
truth scattered around...

We must pick them up and
put them together.

The problem is
where do we start? Any ideas?

Mmmm. You know...

Fabrizio was a strange character

The man... fascinating, happy,
nice. Everybody liked him

We were very good friends

I was very poor

And sometimes he would treat
me like a servant...

Then he wasn't so fascinating...
nor very nice. Nor happy.

Yeah. That's true. Fabrizio
wasn't the type to be married.

You mean... sometimes he would
sleep with you, right...?

Not just 'sometime'...
it was often actually

But how could I say
no to him?...

I was the maid...
working for him

He took advantage of my position
...He was easy with it

But I never felt comfortable
with the situation

When I realised this, I stopped
leaving the door open...

And I found a real boyfriend!...

But Ms Claudia wasn't consoled
so easily!...

What? You don't know?...

She was in love with him?...
It's the same old story

Women becomes weak. ..
untrustworthy

Who knows? How do you explain
all the servants being fired?...

Probably so he could be
alone with Bianca Monteni, right?

Ah--- you mean Bianca Monteni.
They were friends?

Do you know her?

Regardless... He replaced me
with a male servant.

What? I thought there weren't
any servants in the house?

How do you know this?

Hey! I have no reason to lie!...
All I'm saying is:

I left so quickly
I forgot to give them my keys

So I went back. I heard him
talking to someone

...with his anti-social tone,
reserved for servants.

And what was he saying?

I was in a rush.
Not paying attention. But...

I heard him saying something
about two statues in the garden

Then he lowered his voice...
I don't know.

Dear Dr Buontempi.
- Good evening madam-

So you're here!
How are you?

Ahhh--- and you?

Lately, not so good

You know I was almost assaulted
by a doctor.

Some doctors have no resistance
with a client like you---

Stop it! Quit the compliments.
Have something to eat.

Let's look together.
...Please.

I was thinking about you
recently...

...probably because I'm
treating your good friend

Mrs Sandra Garcet.

Friend? Who said she was my
friend? You're very wrong

I was friends with her husband
His lover, actually

In fact, we were going to marry
before the end of the year

But a bullet changed
those plans

Do you want some advice?...

Don't waste much energy on
this new client

She doesn't need to recover
in a clinic--- rather in jail

Do you want to hear a story?
- Yes-

There's a wife.
We'll call her Sandra

One day she finds she's losing
her husband... named Fabrizio

It seems he found another woman
...someone better for him

A certain Bianca.
And he decides to marry her

Then Fabrizio introduces Sandra
to his lawyer, Simonne

He handles all his business

Now Sandra decides to do some
strange stunts to look crazy

She shoots her husband
and then---

She begins her greatest role---
her loss of memory

In a little while
she'll be cured

Nobody will have the courage
to challenge her. End of story

Do you like it?

You're not laughing doctor

It's all bullshit. But on the
other hand, who knows...

I'll never be able to prove it.
Just memories of Fabrizio.

Yes, it's true. Fabrizio was
Bianca's lover for a while

And it's true he told her
he wanted to marry her

One time he brought her to me.

And then called later and said
it was all a joke...

...not to proceed with
divorce papers

There was no need for him
to tell me

I knew he would never
leave Sandra

He would never leave
Sandra's money.

You see doctor, I've been his
lawyer for many years

And I know about all
his dealings

The truth is
Fabrizio had nothing

He couldn't even buy roses
for his mistresses...

...if it weren't for his wife's
bank account

It was Sandra who wanted
to leave him

She discovered many things
about her husband

She wanted a divorce.

Everything is clear then

Fabrizio was about to lose his
wealth and the good life

He new he did some bad things
and couldn't change her mind

When Ricky lied about the doll

And Sandra appeared so
vulnerable

Fabrizio got the idea to use
his son to snap her sanity

He was the one who ripped
her clothes, burned her pictures

He poisoned the dog and
set up the fake murder

That's why we didn't find the
body. There wasn't any!...

He was trying to drive her
crazy--- in front of witnesses

You and Simonne

Everything went perfectly

Poor Ricky couldn't
defend himself

You swallowed the story of the
crime and accepted a sick daughter

You were ready to cover up
everything for the D'Blanc name

When you called Fabrizio at Dr
Vinkle's office

And told him Ricky escaped and
Sandra didn't answer

He decided to act out his plan
of eliminating Sandra

He wanted it to look like
a desperate suicide attempt

He went to the house and
got his gun

But at that moment. Ricky
opened the door and surprised him

In his hurry to hide the gun,
it discharged

In a certain sense,
it was an accident.

Excuse me ma'am.

Everything lawyer Simonne said
is true

I discovered Fabrizio's death

He had nothing in his wallet...
nothing

Through all the years,
I wondered about their marriage

Fabrizio had power of signature
on Sandra's account

He used and abused that
privilege

Take a look: $10,000. The last
cheque he signed. Look good.

May I have this?
- Certainly if you want-

Listen to me, Ma'am...

Sandra's in a phase produced
by a crisis

Fortunately, we find ourselves,
from a clinical point of view...

...with the knowledge of what
caused her terrible mental state

So if we could reconstruct
that moment----

Yes. Yes, doctor. I want Sandra
to realise Ricky's innocence

...as soon as possible.

Close your eyes and
count to 10

You know, I made some
more designs

Swear you won't peek.
- I swear-

You did these?!

You said to draw whatever
comes to my mind. My thoughts---

And I think about you often...
you and me.

We should stop.

Why?
...Why?

Because I----

Because I love you tenderly.

Compliments.

You're stealing.

Don't look at me like that

Every child knows: inside
every Dr Jekyll is a Mr Hyde.

If that were only true

But aren't you too human
to be two different people?...

You're too much a workaholic
for such experiments

You don't care about anything
except Sandra's recovery

You're not concerned about her
love for me disappearing...

...when she gets better. All you
care about is her recovery

But I want you to know
I love both Sandra's

I'd love her even if she stayed
like this forever

I don't care about the truth.
I'm not a doctor.

You're wrong. I'm searching for
the truth, morality of reality

If I weren't looking for the truth,
I wouldn't care about man

I'm involved in this
because I wanted to help you

But now your reality is clouded
by Ricky and Sandra

Ricky should be brought back
to his family

Sandra has to come out of that
state of infantilism

She deserves the dignity
of humanity

To help me with this, I'm
prepared to throw away...

...your spasmatic love for her.

No. There is no Mr Hyde inside.
But be careful...

If you keep acting like this
you'll attract him.

Listen, I'm aggravating you
let's go back to the car.

Mother never lets me go out
by myself

Why did she let me come
here with you?

Relax. She'll be coming soon

My car is fast.
We got here first.

No. Sandra.
My love, why are you crying.

I'm scared. I don't know why...
but I'm scared.

I'm scared too, Sandra.
So afraid

I'd give anything for it to be
the way it was.

I'm sick, aren't I.
But what do I have to do?...

Why doesn't someone tell me?

Darling, It's nothing serious.
You had a big shock

You just don't remember anything
about it

You don't remember when or why.

Come. I've been here before.
At this villa. By the lake

But when? Huh? When?

Yes, my love. A long time ago.

It's a horrible place.
Horrible! Horrible!

No, darling. But bad things
happened here

So bad... your mind refuses
to remember

Come here Sandra.
Trust me. Nothing will happen

I'm here with you.
I won't let anybody hurt you

I'll always be with you.

This is a child's room.

Certainly, a child who loves
you very much

Even if you think he's bad...
capable of hating you

It's your son, Sandra.
Your son.

Mine? My son?...

Oh no... how is that possible.
I don't remember.

His name is Ricky.
And he loves you

It's important you know that.

His name is Ricky?
And he loves me?...

His name is Ricky...
And he loves me

Ricky. His name is Ricky...
And he loves me....

We'll take care of this.
Put Ricky in his room.

Stay here. I'll get Ms. Claudia.
I'll take care of the child

Women... dear Ricky...
they have a delicate balance

Here's an example;
Your mother is very intelligent

But she believes...
for some strange reason...

...you really hate her.

But I never---

I know. I'm just trying to explain
how this happened

She believes things...
and now she is in shock

And she's convinced you want
to kill her

She thought you tried
to kill her

She imagined seeing a dead man.
A man killed by an arrow.

The man in the garden!
I saw him. He was dead.

What are you saying?
Are you sure.

Of course!
You don't believe me?

Yes. I believe you... but if
that corpse is real...

We must start from the beginning
...from the beginning

Listen... will you do
something for me? -Yes-

Tell me what you saw the morning
of the accident

Tell me everything

When I realised grandma
wanted to enrol me in school

I ran away. I wanted to tell
mom I wasn't lying

I didn't touch her things.
I never wanted to upset her

...even if she was mad at me.

Ricky!

Are you sure someone was behind
the curtain? Who?

You couldn't see clearly.
But yes, there was someone.

Then?

When mom came in--- I looked
but no one was there.

Did you tell anyone about this?

No. There was so much confusion.
The doctor arrived...

Grandma took me to school.

Did the police question you?

Grandma told me to tell everyone
I was in school

Even Mother Superior said the
same thing. For my own good.

It's best if you keep saying
that. ...Now, listen

There's something I need
to know. Tell me...

When your father gave you the gun
and pointed to the curtain

What do you think he was trying
to tell you? Huh?

He wanted me to shoot.

And you?... If your mother
hadn't come in...

What would you have done?

Come see Sandra for a moment.

In an hour, when she awakes...
give her another injection.

Doctor, aren't you staying?

I must go immediately. I need
to get some medicine...

Can I use your car?

Sure. Or I can go.

No. It's simpler if I go.
I'll be back quickly.

The keys are in the other room

Emillio, be careful. It can
be a dangerous car.

I know.

Yes, I better go and---

Come. Come on in.
Be comfortable

I checked everything
like you asked

But there's no doubt...
just like I thought

I remember the facts
and the circumstances. See?

I was so sure

Grandma.

May I have some water, please?

Poor little fellow.
How are you? Hungry?

No. No, thank you. I'm fine.

My little one.
You suffered so much

You suffered more than anyone

What happened to you is so
mean ...so unjust

I'll never forgive myself
for not understanding.

Will mother love me again?

Of course. Now when she gets
better we'll explain it to her

We'll tell her
how brave you are

And how much you love her.

My son, my son.

Damn!!

Can I use your phone?

Sure. Sure.
Go ahead.

Oh my God!

Sandra, look at me.
It's Oscar. Remember me? Oscar.

Hello?
Is it you, doctor?

What? An accident? No!
Ricky's hurt? No! I'm on my way!

I don't feel well. I have
a fever. I was in bed...

I was told to get here quickly.
An accident with my son...

...in front of your bar.
God! It was a man's voice.

Relax, ma'am. Nothing happened.
Someone's playing a joke

Stupid and mean.
...Do you want a drink?

No, thank you. No.
- Relax for a moment-

No.1 have to go.

If Sandra hasn't had her injection,
give it to her now

And relax.

When are you coming back?

As soon as possible. Stay
close to her. Don't leave her.

Hello? Hello?
Miss--- do you hear me?

Sandra, where are you going?
You should stay in bed

Ricky! Ricky!

Killer! Killer!...

You were the one!
I saw you! I saw you!...

Killer! Killer!

How could I have trusted you.
You were never anything...

A servant! A servant!

You! It was you! -No-

Behind the curtain, it was you!

Be quiet. Be quiet!

Help!

Killer!

Let me go!
No! No!

Mother! Mother!
- Let me go!-

Be quiet

Sandra, listen to me.
Let me explain. Please...

Don't scream.

What's happening?
Sandra!

The killer was Fabrizio.
He wanted to kill you

But he was to weak. He hired
me to do the job

I was dying from hunger
in Venezuela

I admit I dealt with him. Yes

I came back. He paid
for my trip

I pretended to be the Vagabond

Then he wanted me to kill you

That dirty bastard! Do you know
how much you were worth?...

$10,000! I only said 'yes'
so I could help you

I wanted him to think I was
going to help

So he wouldn't look for
another killer

I was the one who called
you that morning...

I tried to get you
out of the house

...so I could save you.

Sandra! Open up! Open up!

When he came to the villa

And he found me... instead
of your dead body---

He insulted me. And I shot
him in the neck

I did it to save you

I only wanted to save you.
Tell me it's alright

I only want to love you.
Don't call me a killer

I'm not a killer

Ricky! No!

He wanted to kill you.
Right?...

He's a killer!
And you needed my help!

Ricky! Ricky!
- I love you very much-

Ricky! Yes. Ricky! Ricky!

Sandra recognised him.
He attacked her and I got scared

He was the one who
killed Fabrizio...

He didn't love Sandra.
He only wanted her money

Yes, he was a criminal.

It's not so simple.
