Thesis Page #4

Agreed?

Now tell me

Why did you take it?

- Is Angela there?

- No, who is it?

Where is she?

She had a meeting with some

professor

Who?

Angela, I can't supervise a student

who steals, lies...

...and, worst of all...

...who doesn't trust me. So, for

the last time, why did you take it?

I don't know

- Where did you get it?

- I don't know

Was it yours?

You wanted it back?

- So why take it?

- I don't know

I'm getting tired of this

No professor here will take up your

thesis if you're not straight with them

It has nothing to do with my thesis

It's far more serious

I'm all ears

No one else knows this

What?

It's for you

You can take in there

Angela, it's Chema.

What are you doing there?

- Get out, now! That guy's in it

- How do you know?

- He knows about the tape?

- He knows I took it

So he knows everything.

He'll want it

Find some excuse and get out!

- I've got to go...

- Do you?

I'll see you...

Shouldn't we finish...

- It's my thesis, my degree?

- It's your life!

- I tried to get you all day yesterday

- I called you too

- He'll be after me now

- He's one of them

- I thought it was just Bosco

- You were wrong

- How many are there?

- No idea, but Castro is one of them

- How do you know?

- How did he know you had the tape?

Because he saw me

on the closed-circuit camera

Yes, and another camera taped him

- That's Figueroa

- Wait...

Where was he?

Around the corner

He found out everything,

including the tape

What's in that corner?

An underground store-room

where they hide things

What things?

I've taken some

Vanessa wasn't the only victim

It's not an isolated incident.

It's a business

Torture, murders...

It's all down there

The cameras must be there too

What cameras?

two years ago, for practice

Do you know what it means?

To begin with, Bosco's not involved

Again? Why do you defend him?

There are 1 3 cameras.

Any student could have filmed it

- No student made this film!

- How do you know?

Because I -

I did projects with those cameras

What?

Before they were scrapped

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now

It's nothing to do with this

Those cameras are just gathering

dust somewhere

They're gone. Nobody knows

where they are

Great

- They must be down there

- There are only tapes

- We must find them

- I was there, there's nothing

- Tonight, Chema!

- Sh*t, no!

Listen to me, just once

You're doing it for him

You're in love with him, idiot

Tonight, idiot!

What do you want?

To talk to you

About?

Vanessa was killed

We all had nothing but lectures...

...so Vanessa and I joined a directors'

workshop, Bosco too

We did some practice with cameras

- What type?

- I don't know, I don't remember

One guy took the whole thing

very seriously

He was always telling us what to do

Then Bosco and that other guy

became friends

They started working together

They asked one girl to act for them

She had to take off her clothes

and...

Well, I left them to it

Why?

It was awful

And the professor said nothing?

- Who was it?

- Jorge Castro

Do you know him?

It got worse

Towards the end of the year...

...Bosco's friend told us about Snuff.

Do you know what it is?

They choose some person...

...kidnap, torture, kill them

and record it all on tape or film

No editing, no effects, no make-up

All in one sequence shot

That guy was obsessed with Snuff

Vanessa and I got scared...

He said it was very easy

to make such stuff

I told Bosco we should pull out

And?

They stopped seeing each other.

I don't know why

The workshop closed

And a week later,

Vanessa disappeared

They said she ran away from home

But she'd have told me

I'm sure that guy killed her

He used her in a snuff film

And the letter?

They sent it after she disappeared.

She was probably forced to write it

And that guy?

Your friend, with the glasses

I've seen you with him

There are more.

Do you watch TV?

More cases like Vanessa's

Five girls in two years

"The police suspects...

"...a video Snuff network."

No other clear motive

No bodies

Have you told Bosco?

We hardly talk nowaday

Besides, he won't believe me

Chema wouldn't do it

You never know

- I know him

- So do l

And I know it's him

- You don't believe me?

- You said it

And this?

Is that also a lie?

The best woman in the world

found her other half

She wore the trousers,

he gave the blows

You had many lovers,

none of them are alive today

They died, crushed under,

while they were making love

There are times...

We can go

You knew Bosco before

Did you?

Did you know him?

Great! Thanks for telling me now

You told him about Snuff

So? Making snuff movies is

something else

Why look for Vanessa's friends?

You know who they are

I hardly knew Vanessa or her friends

I only knew Bosco

Why did you fall out?

- I didn't trust him

- Oh, really?

He looks sweet but he's a bastard

So are you, you lied to me...

...you said you weren't involved

So you wouldn't associate me

with Bosco!

I didn't want to scare you.

I didn't want you to think that l...

And you care what I think?

You're right, think what you like

- Suppose I think that...

- What?

Nothing, forget it

What about the cameras?

I know the security guy

Now what?

It's somewhere here

This way

These tunnels lead to the old boilers.

No one's been down here in years

This way

See? Only tapes

Figueroa took the first one he saw

How many are there?

About 200

Must be good business

What are you doing?

Looking for the cameras

Sh*t!

- What is it?

- The masters

- Worth a fortune

- You mean, the originals?

- No, but they must be here

- Chema, don't waste time

The unedited originals:

that's our evidence

They must have destroyed them

What was that?

- It's closed from outside

- I don't believe it!

It may be worse

Worse?

- We've been locked in!

- Chema, where are you?

- Beside you, you're choking me!

- What's going on?

- God knows. Do you smoke?

- No...

- Sh*t, we need a lighter!

- I have matches

- Do you really?

- I think so

You're panting... like a dog

Give me the matches

It's half empty... good!

We've got to move,

they mustn't find us

There... over there, look!

Someone's watching us

It's our shadows...

it's just our shadows!

You disappoint me

- I'm scared

- So am l...

...but that won't get us out

- What's happened?

- The match's gone out

Chema, hold me

- What?

- Someone touched me!

You told me to hold you!

Don't leave me

Why are you so quiet?

Why don't you talk?

- What can I say?

- I don't know

Tell me who you are,

what do you do?

I'm Chema, I'm walking,

I'm walking, I'm Chema

Hi, I'm Chema

You're squeezing my arm too tight

I'm sorry

I'll tell you a story...

A children story

Once upon a time, there was

a princess who lived in a palace

And?

This way...

When she was thirteen...

...they gave a great ball for her,

with clowns, jugglers, acrobats...

But the princess was bored

Then an ugly dwarf appeared...

He danced, he did pirouettes...
