THE DEVIL IN THE BRAIN
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 marvellous.
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 troppa vivente, 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 quiet
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 Doctor 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 a 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
2 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 *** 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 unorganised. 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 chauffer 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 alot
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 Garcet
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 ***...
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
You're not laughing doctor
It's all ***. 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 ***
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. I 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!
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 ***! 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.
