Mar adentro Page #6

---

Your uncle gets injected

and dies, like a dog.

And you never see him again...

You will never see him again, Javier...

Or do you think death is so great?

Please use your head...

Death is a very serious

thing, you hear me?

Your uncle dies and

you won't see him again.

Leave me alone...

Is not that he doesn't feel like it,

he just doesn't want to use the chair...

Taking him out of the house once

or twice a year is an accomplishment...

Well, this one has to

be one of those times.

It is very important that

Ramon takes this trip.

And when would that be?

I estimate that the trial

will take place in the spring...

So we still have time

to propose it to him.

There's only one thing

worse than the death of a son...

...and that is he wanting to die...

Well, let's get to work...

"... Get inside of you, eternally,

my seducer lover, beloved sea"

Can you really smell the sea from here?

Yes, and sometimes in the

morning if there's wind...

...and the window is open, I

can smell it as if I was there...

You have a very good nose...

Smells are probably what cause

me more intense sensations...

More fantasies...

...your smell, for example.

My smell...

Yes, is the first thing I

imagine when I day dream about you...

Really?

- And what are those dreams about?

- Just things...

They all have one thing in common...

In all of them I can move...

...and I stand up and travel wherever

I imagine you are at that moment...

And if I imagine that

you are here, for example...

I just get close to you...

And do what I have been wishing

to do so many times...

Then your smell becomes

stronger and I get dizzy...

I can feel your heart

beat then I feel your hands...

And then I lose my

mind... I lose my mind...

Is the water ok?

Julia...

Julia, are you awake?

Yes...

I can't sleep...

Why is that...

I have an itching in one

leg, can you come and scratch it?

...the leg...

I brought him some "filloas"

- I know he likes them -

Rosa, please listen - I made them...

I've told you that

you don't have to cook...

...him anything, or bathe

him or shave him. Nothing...

I take care of Ramon. Get it?

- Ok, then I want to hear it from him

- No, he already told me...

Besides, he is very busy now.

Is he with her?

I wish I was a lawyer

too. But of course...

Don't cry Rosa, don't cry...

If you don't want to

see me, please tell me...

- Of course I want to see you

- It doesn't look that way...

Really, what are you...

Rosa... Rosa...

She hung up...

Do you mind dialing the number

again and giving me a minute alone...

What's going on between you two, Ramon?

But Julia...

Why would I need to

explain anything to you?

I don't understand why

you answer me like that...

...because then I don't

know what Im doing here.

Unless of course, you think that

there's nothing happening here...

The kiss you gave me

yesterday meant nothing?

Look at you...

Look at you sitting there...

Look at you...

And now look at me...

Where are we going Julia?

Look at us...

I haven't finished...

What do you think?

That I don't think about

what happened to me?

Of course, I think about it. Frequently.

Every single day. It's like a nightmare.

And I know that it

will only get worse...

...and worse until I end

up like a vegetable...

So I have reached a

conclusion and I rather...

I'm going to do it Ramon.

I'm going to take my own life...

But before I do it, if

you want to, my love...

I would like to help you.

Leave together...

You don't say

anything? You didn't expect this.

When?

I don't know. We are almost

done with the book and...

I'll go to Barcelona and look for

an editor so you can publish it.

And then Ill come back

with the first copy.

That same day, Ramon. That same day.

Listen to me, in the worst case

scenario we would win the public support.

If the verdict is negative

the discussion will be more heated...

- Don't be stupid...

I can't understand...

- Are you ok?

- Yes, Yes...

News, what news?

Mark, please be careful. It's

ok, it's ok. What happened Ramon?

We are here.

I understand Ramon, I

understand. But that doesn't matter...

Listen to me, if no one takes this step.

If everyone hides their heads and...

...doesn't even try to confront

the state, the judges...

And what do we do now Manuela? I

mean, with the trip to Corunna.

Do I go there and waste my time?

Knowing that they won't listen to me.

Well, I think that today

it is a waste of time...

...but maybe tomorrow it could

be useful for someone else...

Ok. Let's go and see

those judges in the face...

- Javi, where is the chair

- The chair?

I don't know, it's probably in the back.

Well, I want you to take

it out and clean it up.

Then bring grandpa and Ill explain.

We are going to make some changes...

Are going to put a motor?

- You have to cut here and here

- Let the back move, right?

You have to cut these

pipes down here and...

...then join them with bolts so they

move as hinges. Are you getting this?

- Yes, yes

- And you dad?

Your going to be lying down son.

You might fall sleep at the trial...

Is not like they're saying

anything interesting, dad.

Die to Live...

LETTERS FROM HELL

You should put a pillow

here to support my head...

In case I fall backwards

and break my neck...

Hey, Javi. Do you get it?

Break my neck... Break my neck...

Grandpa...

Look, if you're going to help me

like that, is better if you do nothing...

- Am I tying you too tight?

- You're asking me?

Wait a moment please. Ramon...

Manuela, please. As if I

don't look ridiculous enough...

Better this than catching a cold...

And don't you dare, taking it off...

You are Ramon Sampedro, right?

I really wished it was

me the one to take you.

Living is a right, not an obligation!

- Look at all the people here

- Who did we kill, eh?

Ramon, do you feel

alone because you are the...

...only Spanish to have

requested euthanasia?

Yes, well, the first one in

requesting it in a public manner.

But this has been

happening for many years.

What do you expect from the judges?

What are you going to tell them?

I just want to tell them

that Im completely sane and lucid...

Silence...

Can we talk later?

Silence, please...

In a state declared as lay and...

...that recognizes the right

to the private property...

...and which constitution

expresses also the...

...right not to suffer tortures

or degrading treatments...

...is correct to say,

that whomever sees his...

...position as degrading, as

in Ramon Sampedro's case...

...should be able to

decide over his own life...

...in fact, no one that attempts

suicide and survives is judged afterwards...

...but... when you need

the help of someone else...

...to die with dignity,

then the state interferes...

with the freedom of the

people and tells them...

...that the life they

are living is not...

...theirs, that they can't

make decisions about it...

This, Your Honor, can

only be done based...
