An Angel for Satan Page #3

---

I am Harriet Montebruno.

I know, ma'am.

You're very young to be

a teacher...

Someone has talked to me

about you.

Me?

You're in love with Rita?

- Well, ma'am... I...

- She also loves you...

Excuse me if I am prying.

I just want to give advice...

You should try...

how should I say this?

You should be less timid

with her... Understand?

Rita's been with me for a short time,

but I understand her.

I want her to be happy.

You two should meet more often.

I'd love to, but...

The villa was made for lovers

like you...

Meet her tonight.

And excuse my interference...

But you're both so young...

- You'll do it?

- Certainly, ma'am.

And thank you.

Goodmorning.

You're very strong.

Certainly, I'm strong.

I don't think you like me

very much.

It's not because of you...

It's the statue.

It should have stayed

at the bottom of the lake.

We're afraid it will cause

tragedy.

A man like you believes this

superstition?...

That wheel must be heavy.

It's very heavy,

but I could throw it 30 feet.

I think you're exaggerating,

Carlo. - You'll see.

Ask me to do something

that really takes strength.

You're much stronger

than our sculptor.

How delightful!

Are they yours?

Five of them, including Barbara.

She's at school...

She's quite a girl!

- I twist an ankle.

- Damn...

Come to my house.

Agnese will prepare something...

Are you hurt?

No, thanks,

but I must return home.

But I can't ride the horse

any more.

- Could you carry me?

- Certainly, ma'am.

Certainly.

Alberto, keep an eye on the horse.

You are so strong!

Please, come see me tomorrow...

I must talk to you.

Guglielmo,

go upstairs for Mr Merigi.

Please,

he has had his reasons!

Tell him that his absence at the table

is forgiven,

but that we would like to

see him here. - Yes, Sir.

You have eaten almost nothing.

You have a face so... autumnal.

But I'm feeling very well!

And I have no reason to...

I'm sure of that.

It's strange that the appetite

is also missing upstairs.

Excuse me, Harriet.

It's not just casual curiosity...

- Is there something going on between...

- What do you mean, Uncle?

No dear... I mean,

some kind of argument,

or something...

- No...

- Fine, we won't talk about it.

Very soon you'll be receiving

your inheritance...

You'll have documents and bills,

simply a lot to think about.

Please Uncle. This isn't

the time...

Let me relax for a couple of days.

Aren't you

my manager?

Yes, my dear.

Well, let's do as you wish.

Count, I checked the shop...

but Roberto isn't there.

- Mr. Merigi.

- Hello.

I saw the light in the window and...

- Why don't you come in?

- No. No thanks.

I've been working and I'm tired.

I just wanted to say hello.

Very kind of you.

You are a brave man,

Sergeant. Good night.

By the way, there's something

I wanted to ask you.

Perhaps you could do a favor

for me.

Whatever I can do, Sir.

When I got here... I left

a leather bag on the boat...

There were important instruments

inside.

But the boat sank.

Yes... Is it possible

to hire some fishermen?

Some men who would be willing

to salvage the vessel?...

- Naturally at my expense.

- Well, I don't see why not.

- I'll take care of it.

- Thank you, Sergeant. Good night.

I don't want anyone

at the villa to know about this.

The fact that I consulted elsewhere

would cause sorrow to them.

- Don't worry about it.

- Thank you. Good night.

Check to the King!

Want some advice, Harriet? Go to bed...

When playing chess, you must pay attention...

You can't daydream and expect to play.

I didn't know

you get grouchy.

- Good night.

- No, wait...

Wait a minute...

Where have you been?

I was working, Sir. In fact, I expect

to finish very soon, goodnight.

And now come here and excuse

yourself to the lady.

Come on.

Good evening, ma'am.

Please, forgive me

for my absence from the dinner.

No. You don't have to be

so melodramatic.

I have a headache,

chess is stressful...

Good night.

You know very well

why I didn't come for dinner.

So, there's a reason...

It's better that way.

Well, I almost quit the job...

I was going to leave.

But one thing is for sure...

I won't be your toy.

What are you saying?

I treated you like a toy?

Why don't you stop twisting

the knife? - You're crazy!

You're completely crazy.

You have no right

to treat me this way!

Harriet... Look at me!

This morning you came to me...

you acted differently...

You were another person.

This morning? I...

For the love of God, Harriet!

What's happening?

Nothing, Roberto.

I was so happy...

so content.

And now you...

Roberto...

Go to sleep.

Go.

Rita.

Rita. Dear!

You!

Yes, me.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

When someone is strong

and courageous...

He's not afraid of the statue

or the lake.

But yesterday you said the opposite...

You've become just like the rich bastards.

I'm not like anybody else.

You shaved your beard,

you're wearing good clothes...

Who are you trying to impress?

I'm not trying to impress anybody...

Someday you'll be sorry

you said those things.

Laugh. Laugh. You idiots!...

At night you close up your homes

because you're afraid of witches...

And the witches are in your houses...

They're your wives!

- You're full of sh*t!

- Get lost!

I'll show you!

I'll cool you off! Come on!

Refresh yourself, you vermin!

I'll relieve you of the heat

that suffocates you. You dog!

Don't pull my hair!

Tell me, Rita.

Do you like being kissed?

Come on. Answer.

You like it. Right?...

You're very pretty,

hasn't he told you that?...

Hasn't he?

Men are evil.

Don't you know?...

They have fun making us

suffer.

Even yours!

You don't have

to be romantic like Harriet...

I've known that for over 200 years.

Men are evil

... and Belinda knows.

You're too beautiful for them,

Rita.

Who is this?

Guglielmo, madam.

One moment...

...my robe.

Come in.

Ma'am, Carlo is here.

He said you called for him.

Yes, Guglielmo.

I must give him

some work...

You can go, Rita.

- Goodmorning, ma'am.

- Goodmorning.

What perfume!

It makes my head spin.

You like it?...

- You scare me.

- I scare you? No...

Too bad you already have

a wife and children.

I'm going crazy, ma'am.

Crazy.

I'm so sorry.

There's other person

who says that...

A person I don't like...

a disagreeable man.

Who is this?

Oh, he's just a boy...

But he has bad manners. Rude...

I think his name is Dario.

Yes... that's it. Dario.

The teacher! If you'd like

I'll take care of him.

No. That's alright, Carlo...

I will do it myself.

I'd like to find happiness...

I don't know...

someone who really loved me...

But instead, everything seems

so rotten...

This marsh you call a lake.

This house.

Piteous villagers...

I regret coming back

to this house.

You could help me...

Only you.

Hold me. Promise me

you'll never leave me...

Do you love me?

Tell me. Tell me.

Yes. Rita. Yes.

Why am I so unhappy? Why?

Rita... What's wrong?

- Well, Louise. Are you ready?
