In the Palm of Your Hand Page #6

I made him think we

would settle the money problems.

In our cabin we have

that beautiful waterfall...

where the body will disappear forever.

The Dream. Did you

know they call it "The Dream"?

How could you

convince him so easily?

I'm resourceful.

I have secret weapons...

Women know the

most efficient methods.

Don't try to irritate me!

Speak clearly! What did you did?

Don't be stupid!

There's nothing between us, yet...

Nor will be... Understand?

The thing is, I wouldn't

know who to prevent it.

Now, everything depends on you.

Where should I meet Karin?

At midnight tonight at El Greco's.

Karin won't miss the date...

I'm warning you;

Don't play with me...

If you don't go to the

cabin nothing will happen.

Karin and I will

come back unharmed.

- Understand?

- Mrs. Romano?

Thank you.

Karin. Karin sent them.

I have to go.

An appointment with the lawyer...

It's about the will...

He'll probably tell me when...

See you later, darling...

Good night sir, please come in...

Mrs. Romano will be

here in a second.

Thank you.

You may go now.

Thanks for the orchid...

It was very nice of you.

It was nothing.

Something to drink? Music?

Ok.

- Your help won't be necessary.

- Ok, ma'am.

I talked to Leon and everything is set.

He thinks it's an excellent plan.

He didn't suspected anything.

He thinks we set

you an infallible trap.

When I think of it I can't

avoid feeling some kind of

enervation, as if I had smoked opium.

This delicious hands killing me

and afterwards pulling my body

to throw it down the waterfall.

Or something like that, isn't?

- The perfect crime.

- Don't say that!

You make me shiver!

But I won't be the dead body.

However I feel a morbid pleasure

imagining how could things be...

if you and Leon

proceeded with that plan.

That imaginary plan, of course.

You are distrustful, Karin.

But Leon won't try to hurt you

if I'm not present at the cabin.

And I won't be.

That will show you there's no trap.

Who said such thing?

We are supposed to be honorable.

You are irreplaceable, Karin.

Aren't you afraid?

I wish I had. That

would make me feel alive.

I'm very calm, however.

As calm as a dead body.

Who knows, maybe

killing is dying yourself.

But let's stop saying phrases.

This thing is decided.

It is the only fact.

It seems that Leon has to die.

And by my own hands...

Let me see that small

and quiet Czech revolver, Karin.

It is like you,

precise and silent like you.

It affects me like a chasm...

Tell me, what do

you think of Ada Romano?

Probably the same as you.

It seems she doesn't like you.

Keep your thoughts to yourself.

I thought you wouldn't mind.

- Scotch?

- Yes. Straight please.

Thank you.

Isn't it strange Ada is not here?

She'll come.

She never avoids her obligations.

Maybe the storm delayed her.

And if she didn't came?

We'll go back to the city. She didn't

authorized me to negotiate without her.

Leon, I don't dislike you.

Why do Ada and you want to kill me?

Nobody wants that.

We only want you to stop bothering us.

That's all.

We could make an arrangement.

You give me some money

and I leave the country.

You could give me the money at the

airport for you to have peace of mind.

Ada doesn't believe in you.

She says we'll have you around forever.

Ada doesn't know me.

She thinks I'm as greedy as her.

But I'm not.

I only want to live peacefully.

You may be sure of that.

Ada tried to double play us.

According to her plans,

I was supposed to kill you.

- Why did you shoot, Leon?

- Don't move, Karin!

Stay where you are!

Calm yourself. I'm no criminal.

I'm no more than a clairvoyant

who doesn't wish to change professions.

Ada Romano is not coming!

Do you know what that means?

She is not stupid enough

to help you in another crime!

I don't believe

anything you say!

You see, she came!

Ada! Ada! Ada!

You won't be able to do anything!

I've killed Leon!

What do you want?

Who are you?

I didn't wanted this to happen!

I didn't wanted to do it!

Why did he shoot?

This is like a diabolical

and absurd nightmare!

Fill it up!

Do you have a telephone?

Inside, sir!

Hello?

It's Karin. You can rest now.

Everything went ok.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

I did it for you, Ada.

Thank you.

But you could have waited

until tomorrow to tell me.

Now I'm not going

to be able to sleep!

Ada! Ada!

Ada!

Don't be so loud, sir.

Can't you read?

- Yes, sir?

- Scotch, straight.

"There are kind and cruel hands."

"Selfish and selfless hands."

"Ignoble and noble hands."

"Inoccent and homicidal hands."

Little Clara has not sleeped,

waiting for me all night long.

Your eyes are like the frightened

eyes of an indifference hurt gazelle.

Where have I read this?

Or maybe this was told to me by

my dear teacher Ben Ali Krishna Rama!

Enough Karin!

Lets not fool ourselves!

You come from her place, isn't it?

From Ada Romano's place.

I knew this from the beginning!

You guessed it.

It's natural!

Of course!

You've had a great teacher!

None other than Karin The Clairvoyant!

The Great Magician!

The Owner of the Future!

There are limits to

everything, Karin!

If at least it was a

non serious affair...

But it's like a a swamp,

slowly drowning you.

I can't stand it!

Please understand,

I'm drowning with you!

Jealous, Clara?

A jealousy scene?

My sweet and delicate Clara Stein...

- That's not you!

- Leave me alone!

I had to burst sooner or later.

Living at your side like

a shadow, like an echo...

submitted to your egoism

without ever complaining!

I was thinking that tonight we

had to decide certain things...

but not like this...

It seems like it

isn't you who's talking.

You've never tried

to look inside of me!

You! The clairvoyant!

The one who knows everything!

You have always ignored

what I am and what I feel!

That's true, Clara.

- But these conversations unnerve me!

- You'll have to listen all of it!

I would like to hear you, Clara.

But I can't!

Not today, not tomorrow,

nor another day!

It's better for you to leave.

And leave right now!

It would be worst for

both of us if you stayed.

Then, it's worse than I thought!

Don't ask anything!

Let's say goodbye

without emotions or violence!

Like two individuals

who love each other!

You don't know

what you are saying!

I had decided it!

I decided it a few hours ago, but it

seems like I had done it years before!

I had planned to tell

you with other words.

Perhaps with some explanation...

But it is done!

The curtain has fallen!

I begin a new act on this play!

And in this act...

you are not included.

That's not possible, Karin!

It cannot be!

Karin is dead!

That Karin you kept in your heart.

- I killed him!

- No!

Ada Romano and me killed him!

Do you understand now?

With what you've said is enough!

Goodbye Karin!

What were we talking about?

Yes, of course, that thing

about the first and last day isn't it?

You are wrong Karin.

This day has nothing to

do with our first day.
