Painless Page #2

Synopsis: Set in Catalonia, Painless weaves two stories: in one, starting during the Spanish Civil War and running through to the '60s, an asylum attempts to rehabilitate children who feel no pain, by teaching them physical suffering. In the second, in the present time, a brilliant neurosurgeon who needs a bone marrow transplant, discovers this dark past when he searches for his biological parents.

What are you doing?

Benigno, please...

Give it to me!

You evil!

Enough! He's just a child.

I say he's a devil.

It's allowed in this program.

He is to never leave his cell!

Treat yourself as scientist!

We have to keep going on.

Damn you!

How dare you?

Do you even know who I am in Germany?

I know who you are in Germany.

Profesor Holzmann.

We both know why I am here.

Professor?

- Dr. Carcedo said...

- I know!

I know what he said.

Stay here and you'll get more.

Association of CN

Foods? Medicine?

There are 30 of my patients.

- What will they do?

- We'll see later.

We don't get any of it anymore.

Administration can't be accessed.

There are bunch of administration,

or should I called it government.

There are people on the other side,

and fascists on the other side.

Which side are you?

Let the children go!

We'll put the ammunition here.

The children should be locked

no matter what happens.

One child per cell,

it's too much!

Place all of them together!

Excuse me,

I'm the one who's responsible of this

and I'm the one

who decide everything to be done.

They have to stay where they are.

You dirty bourgeois!

They suffer a very serious illness.

It's very contagious.

They should always be isolated.

Wait!

Don't touch them! They are contagious.

Let's go!

Thankyou.

I'm sorry.

Hello!

I'm David Martel.

I'm looking for association...

What do you want?

It's a long story.

OK?

Do you want some cognac?

It's a quite ogrish jail.

If your mom lost in cell 17...

I'm not sure

you'll find your real identity.

Who is he?

Peinado Solera. A Century.

Want some?

I have to find him.

My life depends on him.

Do you know why?

Cain killed Habel?

Excuse me?

It's the first murder of human being

that will never be paid...

till the end of time.

That murder...

It's a jealousy between brothers.

It's the same with Spain.

What happened during the civil war

is not the worst thing.

The worst came after.

Cain,

He didn't do it just to win.

You know,

the old belief to purify the blood

To destroy it...

completely.

Destroying red chromosome

No flower.

No one really tries to know the truth.

What important is to forget it.

Lupa untuk bertahan hidup.

Tempatnya...

sebagai sel 17...

dilarang di buku-buku sejarah.

I...

My brother, Jose...

He was in jail of Canfranc.

As I know...

It's the only place

to be thrown alive

from cell 17.

So he's alive?

Can I talk with him?

Something's suspicious here.

Take off your clothes!

Take it off, bastard!

The children too!

Put those down!

In order, you bastard!

Who's the manager here?

Shoot her!

Captain!

I'm Professor Hubert Holzmann.

Stuttgart University.

I learn about children.

I really love that.

They're so special.

Really?

How are they special?

They were born with

insensibility of pain.

They don't know pain.

The knowledge about this illness...

can be useful for Germany.

Reich.

- In...

- Wait!

He's Germany.

Let him go!

The children too!

We're in Spain.

I'm the one to order.

Let them go!

You and your people...

stay here...

and shoot us.

I'll repeat my question.

Who's the manager here?

Me.

I'm the manager.

Fine.

The nurses too.

I need them for my research.

Ready...

Shoot!

We've talked.

I'm not here to judge or blame you.

What you've done is a good deed.

But if you want to give me a chance,

you have to help me.

If you find yourself...

admit...

that it is life...

Do you think...

that everything is the same

just like before?

My feeling for you never changes.

Dad, I know you don't like

to remember the past...

But I've talked with the leader of CNT.

His brother, Jose, was jailed in Canfranc

when you worked there.

I'll meet him tomorrow.

Is he still alive?

Maybe he knows something.

Do you know him?

I know you're hurt but if you know

something that can save me...

Save you?

There are only madness and sadness.

It's my only chance to stay alive.

You're right.

Sometimes you need to forget it.

Don't even try to start!

There's no more past.

What did you find?

Tell me, Dad.

The one you're looking for

is already dead.

Whatever you do,

it's just a waste.

You don't know what I mean.

I want to help...

but I can't.

You already know.

Your real mother is here, beside you.

How can you know that he's dead?

Did you see his corpse?

You know him, right?

You know his name.

You hide the truth since the beginning.

Just stop David,

that man is no longer in the world, my son.

Believe me.

You're hurt,

don't make your mother be hurt too!

You're lying.

I smell lie.

This house is full of lies.

David, wait!

Please.

I beg you!

There should be another solution.

Which one?

Nothing.

Penicillin and foods,

all is for his subordinates.

That bastard who's gonna kill all of us.

We can send them home.

This is civil war, Magdalena.

Maybe they are already dead.

God forgive us.

Benigno...

Sweetie.

This...

It'll help you to sleep.

Give me the key.

Is it the only one?

Oh God!

Someone's here!

Did you do that?

You don't talk?

What kind of symbol is this?

I think it's symbol for jerry.

Berkano...

Now you're called Berkano.

Ber-ka-no.

Do you know what it means in our myth?

Revolution.

in just a year.

I ask you for the last time.

We know you're french.

Where's your headquarter?

Captain Whitely.

Second quarter?

Squadron C

Squadron C?

You're one of Special Air

Service (SAS), right?

SAS or not,

for me...

you're not even soldier,

just a dirty terrorist.

Why should I tell you, bastard!

Enough, kill them!

A confession?

Really?

Berkano?

It's a confession

and I'll tell you everything.

Don't go near him!

Don't touch the curtain!

Give him time to answer.

He'll be very tired

because of his condition.

Ask what you want to know,

make it simple!

Please.

Halo, Jose.

I am David.

David Martel.

I'm looking for someone

you may already know.

What do you want to know?

It's about my mother.

She's jailed at Canfranc in 60s,

when I was born.

Sorry...

I remember that place as a horrible one...

I don't understand.

Berkano...

Berkano?

Who's Berkano?

Is it him?

He's weird.

He never talks.

He doesn't know pain.

How could you get out of there alive?

As time passed...

his body also changed a lot.

He crawled into the hole.

A hole full of dirt.

Have you seen him?

Confessor!

I know everything.

Tell me the truth.

Who's Berkano?

My mother was in cell 17?

I'll be there in an hour.

You're gonna tell me.

Understand? No matter if you like

or hate it, I'll tell everything!

Please...

I beg you...

Communism,

it's a mental disorder.

Degeneration biologically...

We need to do some surgical operation

by cutting your flesh.

I don' know they're communists.

I swear!

Since when do you work with communist?

Talk!

Shut uo!

Aku bapa pengakuan mu.

Dan kau akan ceritakan semuanya.

I want the names of your leaders.

Their real names.

In my investigation, there's always

people who's gonna feel the pain...
