ignorance about guns.
That's true! I forgot!
Guns don't suit you.
I keep one as a novelty.
Let me show it to you.
Nazis use this a lot
during the war.
It seems they didn't like detonations
when they wanted to get rid of someone.
Strange, they liked
Wagner so much...
Nice suppression instrument!
May I?
Why not?
Just be careful... It's loaded.
Meanwhile I'll get you a drink.
if I satisfy a whim...
Go ahead, Ada, shoot.
Admirable, isn't it?
Almost noiseless.
Barely audible like
a veil in the wind.
Why didn't you, Ada?
Why?
If you had turned around
when I was aiming...
be sure I would.
You couldn't either.
At the time I owned your will.
Your mind.
You were like a part of my body
that only obeyed me.
It is possible, Karin.
You and I are written in
our destinies.
We are not going to be able
to get away from each other.
The worst thing is there is a third
person also written in our destinies.
Leon.
My husband's nephew.
Do you love him?
Then why you had to choose
him as an accomplice?
Being him so useless
for such things.
I don't have reasons to hide it from you.
Besides, you are a clairvoyant who
would find it anyway.
I was weak at the last moment.
I couldn't do it alone.
If I had known you then, Karin...
What else you want from me?
What else you ask from me?
- Everything has a price.
- Price?
I don't know what that means.
I'll really like to kill you, Karin.
But you make me feel something...
that killing you is no longer possible.
Then I'll call you tomorrow, Karin.
It'll hurt me if you thought I
was jealous, Karin.
- But that woman...
- You know that this woman...
is one of the many
incidents of my profession.
We have an agreement.
We are now a kind of partners.
Circumstantial partners, that's all.
Of course I know you are
incapable of cheating on me.
That's not what worries me.
I'm afraid of losing
you some other way...
There are things that
may stain a life.
That leave it stained for ever.
I don't understand you, Clara.
What do you mean?
without you even going away.
Lose what you are,
the way I think of you.
The image in you.
- That would be horrible.
- Never!
For you, I must always be the same!
The Karin inside of you, is what
I love and respect the most of myself.
It may be a nonexistent Karin.
But...
it's the Karin I aspire to be.
Never lose it, Karin!
You and I are the Truth.
If we lose that, it will
be as we were dead in life.
There are things that
above everything else.
Our love is one of these things.
Don't be afraid.
Karin! Lets go away!
Let's leave everything behind us
and don't care about anything.
It's still not the time to do that.
But we will go away.
Karin knows how to play with
fire without burning himself...
and also how to
put it out on time.
You have gone too far, Karin.
Let's hope there's
still time to go back.
I've thought a lot, Karin.
Believe me, I'm not sorry
of having met you.
Quite the contrary...
Thank you!
I like that strange feeling
I get when I'm with you.
It's like the roller coasters at
amusement parks where you pay...
to get that disturbing feeling in your gut.
And at the same time
enjoying that feeling.
Do you feel the same about me?
A kind of attraction and
repulsion at the same time?
How do you see me Karin?
Very similar to those
amusement park machines.
Like a little precision machine,
precise and inalterable like a Guillotine.
I like it.
It's admirable the way you are
so sure of yourself and your destiny.
- Why do you think so?
- You haven't even asked me where I'm taking you.
Where is this precise
human guillotine taking you.
You know that better than me.
I decided to trust you completely.
They call it "The Dream".
The Dream Cascade.
Don't you think a capricious name?
It's fascinating, as life is.
Like your own life, Ada Romano.
invades everything.
To dominate everything to its
endless ambition.
You are right again, Karin.
I am that, or have wanted to be.
But in the inside...
without it showing on
its peaceful surface.
That's your spirit.
That's weird...
your words have made
me remember it.
This cascade has also...
has also taken a life.
You can see it.
The cascade doesn't worry...
nor feels remorse.
It goes on, unafraid of punishment.
Tell me, Ada...
how did you commited the crime.
Poison.
Poison in small doses.
You are a sadist, Karin.
No.
I didn't meant yours.
I meant the Cascade's.
Do you like this place?
- Admirable!
- It's my retreat.
Only yours, or do you share it?
Don't speak nonsense, Karin.
I see you are well prepared, Ada.
You have a lonely place.
Oh, no! The forest
ranger takes care of it.
But I give him a few days off
to go to his hometown.
Come!
And now, you know it all.
I'm not hiding anything.
This means that Leon has
become a real threat to you.
He hasn't said anything but
he is capable of denouncing me...
even if it means he'll
also go to jail.
How did you find out you
and him were his heirs?
My own husband told me so.
It's a fortune!
For a fortune like that,
the risk could be taken again...
isn't it so?
What do you mean, Karin?
Better yet, what do you propose, Ada?
I guess we aren't here to
talk about our lives.
No, Karin!
We are not here for that!
Speak! I'm listening.
Speak as if you
were thinking aloud.
Like you said, Leon
is a threat for me.
I want you to help me!
What kind of help?
The only possible help
in this case!
You want me to talk to him?
To convince him?
To offer him money in your name?
No.
That wouldn't help.
More that money, Leon wants me.
In that case, you are
better suited to fix things.
But, I can't on my own.
Can't do what?
Do it. Don't you understand?
And what do you want?
I want you to do it, Karin!
That's too risky, Ada.
I'll give you all the money you want!
And what if I don't want money?
I wouldn't deny
you anything, Karin.
Anything!
You like danger, Karin...
and today you're convinced
I'm not dangerous to you...
But now you are...
"For you, I must always be the same!"
"The Karin inside of you, is what
I love and respect the most of myself."
"It may be a nonexistent Karin."
"But, it's the Karin I aspire to be."
Keep him, preserve him.
Clara!
Clara!
What's wrong, Clara?
I scared you, Karin?
It was a bad dream.
Well, it's over.
Maybe it happened
because of the Scotch?
I've been anxious all day.
I wanted to see you so much!
I am so dumb!
What hour is it?
It's 4:
00 A.M., Clara.It's 4:
00 A.M.You are late, Karin.
I don't want to
know where were you.
Don't explain anything.
Thank you, Clara.
I wouldn't know what to tell you.
Karin has agreed to meet
us this night at the cabin.
He knows that there, the
three of us will be alone.
