Do you mind if we go?

Let's go. We can continue talking.

But I'm dying for a smoke.

Listen, how does Daniel

get along with her?

Well, really great, yeah...

I mean, sometimes it's hard

for him to be with her.

I have to push him a bit but...

Being with her is hard.

Well, it makes him a little tense

but I guess that's normal,

- Yes, don't worry, he's jealous

What?

No, Daniel is jealous

Yes, men are like that,

possessive and insecure.

Pay more attention to him.

Don't let him know that the girl's

more important to you now than him.

Maybe, I don't know.

So when does she have to go?

Don't be in such a hurry. It's just

a processed request. That's all.

- Whose?

- I can't tell you that.

Beatriz...

No, no, even if I knew

I couldn't tell you...

Laura. Laura. Think about

how much good you've done her.

How nice it's been for her with you.

Nobody can take that away.

Look, Beatriz,

I could understand her having to go.

But not someone taking her

who doesn't deserve her.

No, of course not.

She went through hell,

she's better off with us.

Come see her at home, OK?

- I know she's...

- Nobody's come to see her.

- I know that.

- And she's doing so well.

She laughs, likes school, likes me...

Laura,

I know she's doing great with you.

- You don't, because you haven't...

- Trust me. As soon as I hear...

Keep her in mind.

We do keep her in mind.

And you too. OK?

I want you to relax.

Trust us. Trust us.

I'll call you, OK? Don't worry.

Julia, Are you OK?

Julia?

I'm almost finished.

I'll go fix dinner.

OK.

- Can I watch TV?

- Yes.

Hello?

Hi, it's me. How are you?

No, I just wanted to talk to you.

No, no, fine, what's up?

Nothing, I wanted to say I know

you're right about a lot of things.

Ls something wrong?

Hey. No, no, we'll talk about it

when I get home.

Up to you...

OK, wait, can I talk to Julia?

No, no, she's taking a bath,

she can't pick up.

Oh, OK. Then can you tell her...?

I have to hang up. See you soon.

Julia!

What kind of game is this, Julia?

Julia!

Daniel?

What are you doing?

Why'd you lock yourself in?

- I didn't...

- And the girl?

I don't know.

Julia?

Hi.

How are you,

OK?

Watching TV?

- Did you have dinner yet?

- No.

Why were you hiding?

What? So you were hiding, huh?

Where did that ribbon come from?

Oh, look! It's so pretty!

Who gave it to you?

It's a secret. It's magical.

So it's a magic ribbon.

Well it looks great on you.

- Thank you.

- Doesn't it?

No, I don't like her wearing it.

Why do you say that?

It's so pretty, isn't it?

Why, why, Daniel?

You're scaring her.

What's wrong?

No, if you don't like it, leave!

Get out! You hear me?

You're scaring her.

Are you OK? Sure?

- Your ribbon's very pretty.

- Thanks.

Yes, very pretty.

What's wrong?

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

No?

It's her, Daniel.

It's her, Daniel.

It's her.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

What happened?

What's the girl doing here?

She's scared so I got her.

What's wrong?

Nothing, tum off the light.

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine, I'm fine.

- Are you sure?

I'm sure. Turn off the light

Laura.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Forgive me.

- I'm sorry... It was my fault.

No... no, no.

I was just very nervous, Daniel

I'm sorry, really,

but I'd just come from...

well I'll tell you later,

but I'm sorry.

We need to talk.

I want to tell you something.

Then tell me.

Look at her, I mean... What's up

with you? Why are you so late?

- I went to get something.

- You did? What?

- A folder.

- Really? So you have it?

I'm going to walk home,

do you mind?

- Huh?

- Nothing.

OK.

And this, wait.

Can I leave this?

Are you OK?

Me too.

Come on, a little more.

Dude, we're leaving.

The bar's closed.

You have to go.

Where?

What do you mean where?

Go home, go somewhere

but we're closed. I'm sorry.

Daniel.

I want to see them a minute,

right now.

What did you do to Clara?

What did you do to my daughter?

You monsters.

How could you do this to her?

Monster,

you monster!

What did you do to her? Answer!

What did you do to her?

You monster!

What did you do to Clara?

You monster!

Clara!

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Get out of here now.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I had a lot to drink.

What were you doing in her room?

You wouldn't understand.

Why?

Is it so horrible or what?

No, some things can't

be explained, that's all.

Right.

But Daniel, try to please, because...

I don't understand anything.

It's Julia,

she makes me remember things

I thought I'd forgotten.

What's that got to do with

entering her room drunk

at 4 in the morning, Daniel?

I think she wants to hurt me.

How?

You realize that makes no sense?

It doesn't, none, but it's happening.

What? What's happening?

Julia does things she shouldn't do,

things Clara did, the girl that died.

Clara...

what you called her at the party.

And she answered.

How do you explain it?

Because she recognized your voice,

She recognized it,

knew you meant her and turned...

The ribbon she had on was

the same one Clara had when she died.

How long ago was that?

- Many years, right?

- Yes.

You were a kid and

now you think it's the same ribbon

but it's not,

it's your imagination.

No it's not. Her father came to see me

because she scared him.

Her father was scared of everything.

In Julia's case he had his reasons.

What are you saying,

that you think she's a ghost?

Daniel...

Daniel, listen.

The girl's had a very rough time.

You know it.

She lived with a sick man

and I won't let anyone harm her again.

You hear me?

So if you really think she's a ghost

or the reincarnation of a dead girl,

you need to make an appointment

with a psychiatrist.

I don't believe in ghosts.

You just said she wanted to hurt you.

No, no, no. I just said

she reminds me of painful things

and it's not at all easy for me.

I'm trying, but I just cant.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

it won't happen again. I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm the one who's sorry.

I'm sorry, I hadn't thought about you.

You and I never spend time together.

Why don't we go to the country?

Sure...

Chus will lend us her house.

Let's go. Let's rest, we can relax...

Alone?

Yes, just the three of us.

OK.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Come on.

This is it. Let's see.

- So, you like it?

- Yes.

Pretty, huh?

Look how nice the house is.

Put this on, it's cold.

Look, we came from over there.

Up that road.

Yes.

OK.

- It's a little cold, isn't it?

- Yes.

What, for lunch?

You're hungry again?

You just had breakfast.

Whatsit we do this weekend?

Well, we'll stay here...

- Here, can you put them there?

- OK.

Where do I sleep?

In a room upstairs,

I'll show you later.

I'm afraid of sleeping alone.

Why's that?

You're not alone, we're

in the next room, don't be scared.

Here, take this too.

Hey, where's your magic ribbon?

I put it away.

- What's its magic?

- It protects you against monsters.

What? Now wait a minute, but

there are no monsters.

Julia.

- Are there monsters here?
