In the Palm of Your Hand Page #4

relationship with Vittorio Romano...

and he never visited me.

This was what you ignored.

You wanted to hide the fact of the abnormal

circumstances of your husband's death.

And that your case is a

"sui generis" widow.

Lets say, an own volition widow.

Isn't it so?

Now you will believe my clairvoyance.

It seems I have no choice...

I'll become one of your best customers.

On what bases should

we make the arrangement?

We shall discuss that later.

The effort of this session has tired me,

and my mind is not prepared.

I'll see you some other day,

whenever you want.

I have the feeling we will become

good friends... if nothing else happens

I not only feel it but

see it very clearly.

The gods tell me, and they never lie.

See you later, Professor Karin.

And if you need anything

I'm at Del Prado Hotel.

My old house is full

of painful memories.

Yes, I understand.

At your service, Ada Romano.

Professor! Professor!

Oh my God!

Don't you know how to drive!

Look what you've done to my car!

You'll have to pay for this!

If you had been distracted,

he'll had killed you.

Thanks to you!

What, letter from your son?

From my son, yes Professor.

To have tried was stupid,

but to have failed is nameless.

Do you realize our position after this?

- It wasn't my fault!

- Now, it's three of us!

Karin, you and I!

An honorable family of goons...

fraternally united

by ambition and fear!

I'll try again!

As many times as necessary!

We must not give him chance

of doing anything.

We must proceed at once!

- Karin might call the police!

- Imbecile!

You are so stupid as

to believe that!

I should spit in your face!

Karin won't accuse us!

His business is not to denounce.

Hello?

What a nice susprise,

Professor Karin.

I didn't expected

your call so soon.

I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Romano,

but you'll excuse me when I tell you...

that this is about a case of conscience.

I'm very scrupulous about my profession...

and today I forgot to tell you

something I read in the palm of your hand.

In your destiny are written

several money investments...

The first of them of a philanthropic nature

to prevent automobile accidents...

Twenty-five, Mrs. Romano,

$25,000

I don't understand what

you mean, Professor Karin.

I'll be clearer, I need

$25,000 for tonight.

I'm in El Greco's bar.

And what if I don't comply?

If you don't comply, Mrs. Romano,

then there'll be consequences.

What I told you!

Karin's business is not

denouncing but blackmailing!

Now it's $25,000!

Tomorrow, who knows

how much he'll ask for?

We have to do something, Ada!

You'll soon give him the money.

Tomorrow I'll visit him.

I want to make him trust me,

become intimate.

Tell him we are convinced

we are in his power.

And we can't do anything about it.

We'll see about that!

Let me take care of that!

No, you'll be in when the time is right.

Be patient.

You made me wait, Clara.

I've never been this early!

You've make me wait long years

to give you the homage you deserve.

- What happened?

- Come, it's like magic!

What have you done, Karin!

- This is your place, Mrs. Karin.

- Mrs. Karin?

It's been a long time

since you call me like that.

This must be something

really extraordinary!

I demand an immediate explanation.

Mortals should not try to

know the secrets of the gods!

I don't know the occasion, Karin,

but you really make me happy.

What's all this about?

I'll tell you.

Everything that happens,

or is about to happen,

I see it here.

Really? I don't mind what has

happened, Professor...

but what IS going to happen.

I think Mrs. Karin won't

go to work tomorrow.

- A sickness, Professor?

- A sickness called happiness...

that will prevent her from ever

returning to that dreadful beauty parlor.

And what else, Professor?

I also see money.

A lot of money, soon, here!

In the palm of your hand!

Professor Karin,

someone is looking for you.

Wait, the Otherworld's

Envoy has arrived!

I warn you that what I came for,

I'm doing against my will!

You have nothing to warn me,

nor I care about it!

There's no time to loose!

The first of Romano's tributes.

Professor! Professor!

- Letter from my son!

- Come here!

I couldn't wait for

you to finish, Professor,

and had to bother

you with the letter.

So, at last you got

a letter from your son?

Here you have it.

Wait just a second.

My dear Ada Romano!

Come in...

I'll be with you in a second.

I guess you are not in a hurry.

None at all.

Time belongs to us...

Upstairs you'll find a bottle of Scotch.

"The Secretary of Defense

wants to express to you..."

our condolences for

the loss of your son...

First Class Soldier,

Arturo Garcia Luna, 29289219,

he died in combat in Korea...

What he says, Professor?

The letter is not long...

Your son is now very far away.

His unit was deployed somewhere else.

His letter says...

he is now in the most beautiful

place he has ever seen.

Where, Professor?

Does he says where?

His superiors don't permit it.

It's... a secret.

That is like he was nowhere!

I want to tell you something,

Dona Carmelita,

If your son continues to send

his letters to mailing list...

they may get lost.

I'll write to tell him

to send them to me.

What do you think?

This way when I recieve them...

I'll send for you to read them.

Thank you very much, Professor!

What I don't understand is why

my son can't tell me where he is.

They forbid him to do that...

War consecuences...

But... you know all secrets,

isn't it?

You know everything just

by looking in there?

There are things that are

beyond my capabilities.

That even if I wanted,

I couldn't do.

Don't be cruel, Professor!

Tell me how you see my son in there!

I'm poor, you know that.

But if it's about money...

I'll get it little by little,

until I can pay you.

I want to know where is he,

what he does, who are his friends...

I'll be forever grateful, Professor

I'm the one who is

grateful for your belief in me.

Now, now you'll help me.

Yes... sit down please.

Now I see your son...

I hear laughter and songs...

The laughter and songs we know...

are like a shadow

compared to your son's.

I also hear his voice saying:

"In my heart there's no hate,

nor spite or envy...

or envious desires".

"I'm in peace."

"At last, peace."

That's all I see!

All I know!

I can't do more!

How beautiful!

I am as happy as he is!

God bless you, Professor!

At your service, Ada Romano.

I didn't thought you lived here.

I can't pay both an office

and a place to live.

I don't know why I imagined

you lived alone...

You live very modestly.

There are good and bad times.

Lets say I'm getting out

of one of the second ones.

I guess you are looking

for your cigarette case.

Here it is.

You left it last time.

That's weird, I thought I would

find one of those Czech pistols

that have the rare virtue

of being practically noiseless.

Do you know them?

Skoda guns, from Prague.

I confess my absolute
