The world has lived through the
first half of the 20th century.
In 50 years Mankind has reached goals...
that never before even dared to dream of.
Man has vanquished distances,
ruled the air.
Has controlled the forces of nature.
Has accomplished the
greatest achievement...
The oldest dream of the wisemen of old.
Has liberated nuclear power.
Only one thing Man has not achieved...
Avoid fear, remove doubt,
trust in tomorrow.
Because of this insecurity,
uncertainty and fear...
everyone searches for an answer
that would make them trust their future.
But that answer is
not always reasonable...
That is why people are sometimes drawn...
"ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE WHITE HOUSE"
to the unknown Arcane forces;
"MACARTHUR REMOVED BY PRESIDENT TRUMAN"
the mysterious world of that which is beyond
reason... "EXPLOSION OF FIRST HYDROGEN BOMB"
and of intelligence.
"WORLDWIDE PANIC BECAUSE OF H BOMB".
To use those forces and translate
the messages from that world...
is the mission that I have
undertaken for my life.
To the extent that
I decipher the mysteries of the future.
It's true that I'm unable to
forsee the great problems of humanity.
But I can do it with the questions,
preoccupations and hopes
humble gifts, my integrity...
and good will.
What you say is so true, Professor Karin.
Now I beg you to stay still...
with a calm mind.
To let me penetrate
the secrets of the gods...
it is necessary
that you trust me.
That you believe what
I am going to tell you.
You are married.
Two years...
Now, a person is getting
clearer before my eyes...
It is your husband...
He loves you so much...
You could be so happy...
but between you lies something
hidden that make you unhappy
that "something"...
is another woman.
What should I do, Professor Karin?
If you want to
keep your husband...
don't try to break that triangle...
Even without him knowing...
give him complete freedom.
Between two persons
who love each other...
there's no greater dependance...
that the one involving in
the illusion of freedom...
says the old Chinese proverb.
Just have enough patience and courage...
and you will be
victorious at the end.
I'll follow your advice, Professor Karin.
Even though I know it
will be very hard.
Thank you very much.
"ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SEXUAL KNOWLEDGE"
You may come in, Miss Arno.
My dear Miss Arno...
the time has come
for you to get married.
Get married, Professor?
You well know what
I think of marriage,
that absurd slavery of women.
Then, get yourself a lover.
Younger, if possible...
Professor! I'm a decent woman...
of solid moral principles.
I'm far from thinking otherwise, Miss Arno,
but in this case,
the message from the
other side is very clear.
A man is needed in your life.
A platonic lover, you meant?
It couldn't be otherwise.
A man to which to
devote my dreams,
my thoughts even if
Well, in this case, the message from beyond
has been more precise.
Professor; I know who
that ideal man can be...
Then, Miss Arno, you may
have a long and pointless wait,
for that ideal man to love
you in real proportions.
Meanwhile, don't forget that one thing is
"Morals" and other thing is "Physiology".
Pardon me?
That, Miss Arno...
Please come in, Mrs.
No, Professor, I have to go.
I just came for this.
I don't understand, What is it?
A check, a $500 check.
The price I pay for that,
which you know.
For that which I know?
You mean, that which the gods know
paper as a diploma.
Like the academic recognition
of my clairvoyance.
Of my supernatural powers.
But Karin doesn't accept checks!
Only accepts cash!
When you come back
with the metal.
The gods will return you that letter
you imprudently left in hands of a maid.
Don't you forget, ma'am...
you must not trust servants.
They are in direct contact
with the supernatural.
Hello?
Please, get me Clara Stein.
Clara, you have a phone call.
This will only take
a minute Mrs. Ciprian.
Hello?
Your client... Mrs. del Valle, is
coming here in a few days...
I need you to find what are
her projects for next week.
It would be of much effect to "guess it".
Wait a second...
This isn't my day, Clarita.
I know, don't look at
me with those eyes.
good idea to help myself a little...
precisely today.
Precisely today.
You'll have to wait a little.
One and a half hours.
I'll be with you in a moment, Miss Arno.
Come in.
Darling! How are you?
Mirtha!, please don't go, Clarita.
No, no, it's now your turn.
Mirtha, how good to see you.
I have a lot to tell you...
As I do, darling.
Don't forget to
go to Professor Karin.
Each day I find him more...
How can I put it...
More alluring...,
more disconcerting.
I owe you for meeting him.
You don't know how thankful I am...
A call for you, Mrs. del Valle.
For me? Yes ma'am.
Yes?
Don't you tell me!
Poor thing!
Whatever, I think
it's better this way.
Where? In the Alcazar agency?
Ok, see you there, goodbye.
You won't believe this!
You won't believe this!
Ada Romano is inheriting millions!
Some luck some people have...
No! Yes!
Her husband died today at noon.

REVEAL YOUR FUTURE"
"SEE ME, I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT"
The $2,000,000 pesos ticket, boss,
this is the lucky one!
- Its numbers sum 13...
- If I could tell the future...
Please, boss, its the lucky one!
Professor! Professor!
I received a letter from my son,
and was waiting for your help to read it.
Let me see what it says...
He says he is now in San Diego, CA
and it is a nice place.
That he may have to leave soon,
but he remembers you often.
That you are the best and most
beautiful mother in the whole world.
Thank you very much, Professor.
Don't you take your paper?
Grafico! Last news!
The Fortune-Teller Sparrows!
These really foretell your future!
One paper for him and
one for her!
For the lover, for the disappointed!
For the one that needs money!
For the one that needs advice!
I have for everyone, as
long as you don't mob!
Only these birds know the
secrets of life and love!
Give me two.
Good! For the gentleman...

Common Manolin!
Let's see! Sound the bell!
That's nice!
Do it again! Very good!

Come on, Manolo! You don't like
getting drunk, only now and then.
That's right! That's right!
Very good!
Now, you're going to call your girlfriend,
but very lovingly!
That's right! Lots of kisses!
Very nice! Very nice!
Now you are going to commit a crime!
You are going to shot your best friend!
