Resurreccion Page #3

Help me

to understand that this disease

is my cross,

this bed, my calvary.

Am I not your servant?

Give me a sign

to understand your purpose.

Quispe?

There's someone in the house.

Remedios?

Remedios?

Luca!

Luca!

No! I can't go in.

Mom is going to get angry,

she says the devil is there.

Mom,

she changed.

You have to get me out of here,

they want to kill me.

In the theater

of cardboard figures in my room.

You'll find me there.

Uncle...

I beg you, Jesus.

Rescue me from all evils,

past, present and future.

Don't leave me here alone.

Remedios, it's me!

Aparicio.

Remedios!

Remedios!

For all the saints and the angels,

I beg you, Lord.

Don't abandon me.

Don't allow this.

Mom said you were going to save us,

that you wouldn't allow

a little girl to die.

Remedios?

Remedios?

Don't let me suffer with them.

Don't let me die here.

Please.

Thy mercy I implore.

Don't leave me alone.

Don't leave me alone.

Don't let me die.

Remedios.

Remedios?

Uncle?

Help me.

Uncle, please!

I can't move.

-Remedios!

-Down here.

My God.

We have to leave the house.

I'm dying.

This is what Ernesto wants.

He was here, he looked for me,

but I could hide down here.

Now I can't move, I can't go out.

Uncle, please help me.

No, no, I'm going crazy.

This is not real.

Stretch your hand, uncle.

I'm going to get you out, Remedios.

No! Don't leave me here alone.

Calm down, we're leaving this house.

I'm coming back.

Uncle!

Uncle!

What are you doing, sir?

What are you doing?

You lied!

What's going on? Where is Luca?

She's dead.

She's alive!

You both want to kill Remedios!

What demon are you serving?

You're delusional, sir.

That's the fever.

This?

This is a delusion, eh?

I'm going to take Remedios

out of this place.

You're not going to kill her!

Why are you doing this to us?

Too long living in this house!

Now you want us all dead.

Uncle, help me!

Uncle!

Remedios!

Leave that on the table.

One move and I'll slit your throat.

What are you doing, sir?

Where is she?

-I don't understand.

-Where did you put her, bastard?

Please, sir, calm down.

This fever started

after I began drinking that poison.

Do you want the house?

You stole the medal.

She is, or was, alive

and I'm going to show you where.

Sir, you were delusional all day long.

Let's go!

What's this?

Your grandfather had it prepared,

so that your family could hide

from the raids.

You lived in this house,

you knew of this place.

You hid here when your parents

were looking for you.

Don't you remember?

No, I don't remember.

I never knew about it, no.

What did you do?

To the chapel.

Walk!

Is it weird for you?

This is what you and Luca

couldn't understand, isn't it?

How she managed to escape.

Remedios came to see me

after Edgardo's cremation.

You always lied.

You knew the healer.

You brought him on my brother's request.

Talk!

Yes, sir, that's true.

I brought him

at the request of Mr. Edgardo.

You lied!

That man was going to trick you, sir.

And I can't let this house

be contaminated with that trickery.

This house?

This house is mine and my family's.

I know, sir.

I only look after you.

It's always been like that.

And how is it that you

didn't get infected?

I ask myself the same thing, sir.

It must have been God's will.

I guess.

God's will?

Or you used the plague to poison us?

Are you waiting for me to die?

So that you can keep everything?

In the end,

I am the last link of the family, right?

You're going to open the coffins.

Look.

Mrs. Luca and Remedios

have been dead for three days.

What is it you can't see?

No, that's not true.

There's the girl's body!

Come on!

Look at it and let's get it over with.

Enough!

Enough!

Sir.

What day is it today?

Saturday, sir. Holy Saturday.

They have always been dead.

I'm cold.

Don't do it sir, please..

This is a mockery!

-It's not your right, sir.

-No?

Who's going to stop me?

God?

We are alone, Ernesto.

I can't stand it.

Sir, give me that gun.

What are you doing?

You're going to bring the healer.

You brought him for Edgardo,

you're going to bring him for me.

I'm not going to do it sir.

Give me the keys.

That man is a liar.

I'd prefer to be the one who decides.

Give me the keys.

Don't come back without the healer.

I'm not going to let you in.

You.

You got infected too?

This house has a lot of pain

that could have been avoided.

Don't let him in.

You heard him.

You can't leave me out of this house.

Why not?

If I don't survive, this house

will be free of your services.

My brother...

was a man of science.

He didn't even believe in the Church.

Why did he believe you?

Your brother saw results.

He also helped a lot of people.

But he didn't have my tools.

Sometimes, reason is not enough.

In Corrientes they call it "pay" .

He won't let you die.

That?

I lost my faith in God.

Am I going to believe in this?

You are going to believe

because I have one on.

Your brother found me saving men

in the lodgings of San Telmo,

and was surprised I did not get infected.

Believe me, you don't need more than that.

Help me.

Help me soon.

Chapter III - RESURRECTION.

The man left.

Left the door open.

What's up? Aren't you happy I'm alive?

You should have died

yesterday evening, sir.

It must be God's will.

Where did he go?

I don't know.

He said he was coming back.

What's the date today?

Sunday, April 9th.

Resurrection Easter.

There is an evacuation in all the city.

They say Buenos Aires...

is dead.

My Lord.

My... God!

I confess, Father,

because I have gravely sinned,

in thought,

word,

and work.

It's my fault.

It's my fault.

It's my fault. It's...

It's my great fault.

Luca!

Remedios!

Quispe!

You know?

This plague was brought by mosquitoes,

from Africa.

This will be known in ten years.

The funny thing is you were

not infected by mosquitoes,

or your brother.

In fact, nobody infected you.

You put your faith in the circumstance,

believed you were ill,

and your body believed you.

What did you do to me?

What you asked me.

-You didn't heal me.

-No.

I told you you were not going to die.

The pay does not heal,

it becomes bone in your bones

and ties the soul to the body.

This is a resurrection from the flesh.

The pain.

The soul feels the weight of the dead body

that never dies.

Your body will lose substance.

It will be getting dry little by little,

but you will keep on living.

I don't want that filth in my body.

If I take out the pay ,

you are going to die suddenly,

and you have not paid

me for helping you yet.

Take it out!

In fact, nobody in this house

has paid me yet.

Is that what you want?

The house?

Keep everything,

but let me die.

Do you really think the house

is what I'm interested in?

What sense would that make to me?

It's curious how long

a burning candle lasts.

I recovered my faith.

That's why I'm here.

Out.

That has no meaning on you anymore.

Sooner or later the pain
