Sonia?
I never get tired of poking
around, the bathtub is sensational,
we'll have to do a raffle to see who
the lucky person who keeps it will be
You know, in spite of the age
of the building
I think we've gotten a deal
Looking at that portrait again?
Why does it interest you so much?
- Lovely woman, don't you think?
- Very attractive
Who could she be?
Maybe the old owner?
She doesn't look like a
housewife dressed like that
You're right. What do you
say we play a guessing game?
Father always said I had certain
clairivoyant gifts
Do you remember when he lost his
watch and I told him where to find it?
Yes, that was very strange, but it was even
more so when you foretold mother's crash
Well alright, making use of my
extrasensory faculties, I think that...
this used to be a house
of prostitution
- and she was the one who oversaw it
- Oh Sonia, don't be silly
Yes, that's why they sold it
so cheaply,
because of it's bad reputation,
understand?
What's more, I think a crime
was commited here.
She had a lover and when he learned
she was unfaithful, he killed her
Oh Sonia, please
And in this salon they held large dances
with little clothes and lots of perversion
Enough daydreaming, why would it
have to be that?
Well if you don't like that, then it's...
an enchanted mansion, that's it
- Full of ghosts
- Naturally,
and her spirit is in every corner
By the way, that woman reminds me
of someone
Stop imagining things
What we have to do is give all of this
a good cleaning
We'll leave this as shiny as a mirror.
I think we've made a good acquisition,
- our father would have approved
- I'm sure of that
Be careful, according to what
they say
all the cupboards are full of
dehydrated ghosts,
but don't worry, to do away
with them
- we could change immediately
- Impossible,
have you seen the electric wiring?
It's terrible
- We could have it fixed
- And with what money?
I don't get paid until the end
of the month
I'm about to sell a painting.
Oh, it'd be divine to light our way
by candlelight
Wouldn't you like to feel like
you live in the past for a moment?
Oh yes, all the time.
Have you ever considered how
uncomfortable that would be?
But it would only be for a few days,
and besides, did you forget we have
to leave the apartment immediately
or we'll have to pay for another
month of rent?
Yes, you're right. Alright, you win,
but the first one that gets money
has to promise to go to the
electric company
and take care of the wiring
and the contract
Alright
I see I enjoy my comfort more
than you do,
and I'm less romantic at that
- Now I remember
- Remember what?
Do you know who she looks like?
Like the real estate
agent who sold us the house
Oh, that's true,
except that she had short blonde hair
How do you feel?
- Like I was hit by a train
- Yes, that was hard work
Will you come down for
some coffee?
I'm a corpse, I can't walk,
my whole body hurts
Let's see, come here,
I'll give you a massage.
Hand me the ashtray
You'll feel better
That's wonderful, your hands
are so soft
Well, now you're the owner
of a house
Me?
And in the near future when
I finish paying for it
I'll sign it over to you
That's not fair, you spent all of
your savings on it
You know everything I own
is yours
That's how it's always been
When we were orphaned you
took on the role of a mother,
I really never felt her absence.
You gave me everything a mother
could give,
caring, understanding, love
Tell me something Josefina,
is it because of me that you
haven't married?
Nonsense, I haven't gotten married
because I haven't wanted to,
I've had enough suitors
But you've always driven
them away
when you saw things were
getting serious
Well, that would be because none
of them were my knight...
...in shining armor
Now let's talk about you,
you strange creature
You don't like having a social life
or being around boys your age
and that worries me
I would like for you to have a family,
to better yourself
- You want to drive me from your side?
- No, you know very well it's not that,
but time goes by, one isn't always
young, and solitude is very sad
One day I won't be here
and the idea of leaving you alone
terrifies me
You don't have to worry about
that, I'll be gone before you
Don't say that Sonia!
Forgive me, I didn't mean
to alarm you,
I spoke without thinking
Let's let time go by,
let's not think of anything that's not
in the present
Happiness is in always being together,
I only ask you never stop loving me
You know that will never happen
What's the matter?
Sonia, what's the matter?
A hand, a hand touched my cheek
What did you say? Are you sure?
I guess not
Is it possible we've really
bought a house full of ghosts?
You've finally come out to sunbathe
Something worries you sister,
I know you. What is it?
- It'd hard to talk about it
- Say it
With all sincerity Josefina,
don't you feel anything strange
in this house?
So it's that,
you're still thinking about that hand
that touched you
And you still don't believe me, right?
I think you had a hallcucination
brought on by the effect
of the candles
I don't know what to think,
there's something strange in the air,
in the walls,
something damnably strange
in this house
I think that if I give some
literature classes at the institute
they'll pay me next Monday,
if that's the case I promise to take
care of the electricity immediately
And do you think you'll
solve everything with that?
Do you want to play a hand
of cards?
No, not today, I'm very sleepy.
Coming?
- Everything seems so familiar
- Familiar?
Yes, I mean I have the feeling
we've been here before
Good morning.
Why didn't you wake me up,
you know I never sleep in this late
I thought you were tired,
what does it matter?
Did you notice the house
shook last night?
Did it really shake?
Do you want coffee?
Thank you.
There's no sugar.
- What were you doing?
- Nothing
What are you looking at?
The painting?
Sonia, I'm talking to you
Did you sleep well?
- Why do you ask?
- Does that seem like a strange question?
- Excuse me
- Why are you acting so mysteriously?
I'm not being mysterious,
you're just imagining things
Tomorrow I'll find out where you
hide so I can lay a trap for you
Sonia?
- Are you coming down for dinner?
- No
Sonia? Sonia!
Leave me alone, you know I've been-
You've been what?
Are you going to paint?
- Get out of here
- You can make your own breakfast
Sonia, have you gone crazy?
What in heaven's name
is going on?
Get out of here,
I told you to get out of here!
Sonia, I feel sick.
Sonia, I'm sick
Sonia!
Leave me alone, get out of here
or I'll kill you!
I'm going to kill you
Snap out of it! You've gone crazy!
I'm going to kill you
I'm going to kill you!
Help!
Sir, for the love of god,
call an ambulance,
my sister hit her head!
Call an ambulance please!
Wait, wait!
- Relax, relax
- Who are you?
Dr. Salas, an intern at the
Santa Fe Hospital. Relax
And my sister?
She's in an ambulance headed to the
hospital to take care of her wound
It's really nothing serious.
What happened to her?
- I hit her. I want to go with her
- Very well, if that's your wish,
but you have a severe
case of nervous exhaustion
It doesn't matter, I want to be
by her side
You see? You're very weak,
the best thing to do is rest
I'll give you a sedative
and tomorrow you can go see
your sister
Very well Doctor, perhaps
you're right
Nothing in this house will hurt me!
I'm going to find out what you
did to my sister, you wretch!
Imposter! Imposter!
I'm leaving, and now you won't be
able to stop me
What was that?
Yes Doctor. Yes, right away
- Good afternoon
- Good afternoon
- Ms. Sonia Hill's room
- Allow me
The patient was released
an hour ago
- No, I think you're mistaken
- No, it's written here on the list
- Do you feel ill Miss?
- No
Sonia, answer!
Do you like the house daughter?
- I like it, I like it a lot mother
- Me too,
I think your father would have
enjoyed living in it
You know, I'm a widow, now it's just
my daughter and I
and for our needs this house
is perfect
The conditions are favorable, we'll close
the deal tomorrow
Daughter? Daughter?
Good afternoon
