You are shooting him on the chest!
Come on, Manolin, do it!
That's right! Very nice!
Let's see... Now...
Very good... take them out...
Another one...
Very good!
Here you have your future, Sir!
Get closer, ladies and gentlemen, don't
miss your opportunity to know your future!
- Good night, Professor Karin!
- Good night, Ma'am!
It wouldn't bother you if I ask
you a question? Not in any way!
I would like to make a bet in
tomorrow's races, if you could maybe...
My dearest Mrs., if I could make that kind
of predictions, I'll be rotten in money.
Disinterest is a condition for my trade.
The supernatural forces that assist us...
would take revenge if we took advantage
of the divine spark inside us.
That is what charlatans do.
Please, forgive me Professor,
I thought...
May I bring you something
or you rather wait for the miss.
I'll wait for the miss.
Maestro...
Your song...
You are sad, Clara...
What is wrong...
I am nauseated, Karin.
I am revolted by everything
that happens arround us.
In life, not everything
is good, Clara.
But we have to live...
Look! I got you something!
- Here it is!
- Karin!
If it wasn't for you...
What is it!
Even I don't know! Our destiny!
Given to me by the birds! Only the birds
know the secrets of Love and Life!
"Love begins when you want to
and ends when you don't want to".
This little bird knows his business!
Love begins when you
want to, that's true.
If I hadn't gone that morning to
our date in Champs Elysees...
we would never had
found each other again.
What do yours say?
You don't do all you can...
and you do all you shouldn't.
This is indeed extraordinary!
I don't do all I can, but
I do all I shouldn't...
I can do so many things...
I have so many dreams...
And, nonetheless, I devote my life to
hysteric ladies that believe my predictions.
If it wasn't for them...
By the way!
What you asked for about Mrs. del Valle...
I found out from her own mouth.
She is thinking of
having a plastic surgery.
Removal of her neck adiposities.
When she visits you, you'll
have to be courteous to her.
One of your phrases, that speaks
about a 'beautiful neck'.
For example:
Your neck, Mrs. del Valle, onlydistinguishes from that of Anne Boleyn's,
in that there's not been any Henry VIII to
separate it from your beautiful head
I can assure you she
won't understand a thing.
What else did you find out?
Something that stupefied me.
But that doesn't affects us.
What could that be?
Vittorio Romano died today.
So, at last he died.
It seems unbelievable.
I don't see why...
Vittorio Romano would never accepted
the truth without killing himself.
Everybody agrees on that.
I think no one knew
Vittorio Romano that well...
He loved his stupid wife too much.
I don't like to pity nobody.
But the ones who make me feel it...
are guys like Vittorio Romano.
I only saw him three days ago.
That's why his death shakens me.
The thing about his wife,
accelerated things up.
So, at last he knew...
How strange life is...
And how did you find that out?
That day I was at his apartment...
You never told me...
That looks like a Lesa Chiromancy crime.
And I might never had told you if
it wasn't because Vittorio Romano...
died long before
even himself expected to.
A diabolic play by destiny.
I'm dying of curiosity!
What was that play?
I arrived that day, as usual,
to service him at home...
And if you now know,
I don't care...
You should be grateful for my work
at keeping you in ignorance.
That was a kindly act
that you didn't deserved.
That I didn't deserved?
The man that picked you up from the trash?
The one that did everything
to make you happy?
I don't know what to mean.
Do you think I could love you?
That I would waste my life
with a man that could be my father?
That has no attractiveness?
That is always sick?
Shut up!
Do you think I can't defend myself?
That I won't fight back?
Now, hear me!
I will divorce from you!
Understand?
But I'll do something that
would hurt you more...
I'll change my will.
You and Leon will live in poverty.
You'll be hungry together...
That is simply unbelieveable!
A monstruous fate.
Fate doesn't exist.
Good Clara Stein may believe
in it, but not me.
It's moving that you
haven't dared to think...
of any hypothesis or get
to any conclusion about...
I hope you don't
expect to use this, Karin.
I tolerate you divinations,
your fantasies...
But some things I can't stomach.
My little one...
My scrupulous Clara Stein...
had the black market...
Here we only got my superior
gifts of divination.
Karin, disciple of the Great
Ben Ali Krishna Rama...
the Greatest Sage of India.
Oh, my dear Teacher...
I remember your last words
when we said goodby in
you beautiful garden in New Delhi.
Karin! You forget you have
never been in India.
That doesn't matter, what
happens inside me...
may as well happen in real life.
Well, that nonexistant afternoon
in the beautiful gardens
in New Delhi...
The Great Sage Ben Ali Krishna Rama
let me hear his golden words...
Let me repeat them for you...
Never stay in the middle of the road
always reach the end of it.
To the very end of it.
To the bottom.
Only coward spirits stay
in the surface.
I don't understand what would be to go
to the end in the Romano's affair...
Go to the end, my darling, would
be to go to where his millions are.
I don't know the way,
but there must be one.
Does Professor Karin has a preference
for any musical piece?
Theres the thing...
Finding the way
to the millions.
What did you said, Professor?
The Millions, Maestro,
Arlechin's Millions.
Right away, Professor!
The Millions!
I hope you won't do
something foolish, Karin.
What you want to do
has a bad name.
It's known as "Blackmail".
My God, Clara,
You are supposed to be
a delicate spirited woman.
Why call that way a
legitimate business?
In this case I represent
an honorable character
I'll be the Sword of Virtue,
the Finger of Justice,
the Angel of Revenge.
This night I'll be late
but sleep well.
Where are you going?
of the Old Sages of Egypt.
Pay my respects to the dead.
"Alcazar Funeral Home"
I've been trying to give you
my condolences, Mrs. Romano.
Thank you.
It's so unfortunate, specially
because he loved life so much.
He hoped he still had some years left.
But, as you see, nobody
owns his own destiny
I'm sorry, Sr., I don't
remember you visiting us...
I'm not good with faces, you know, and
today I'm so distressed... you understand.
It's your husband, he was the
one that visited me.
considered me as a kind of confidant.
Once or twice a month
he visited my office.
Are you a doctor?
In a way, yes.
A Spiritual Doctor.
Visiting me brings peace to people
who have reasons to be nervous.
