Don't move.
No, stop!
Get off me!
Iván. Iván.
Julia, is everything OK?
- I think there's someone in the house. - What?
In the room next door.
- Don't move. I'll call the police. - No, Iván, Iván.
Are you still there?
You have to get me out of here right now.
- Where are you? - In the guest room.
That's good. Find the door and get out of the room.
Find the door to your right.
- He's there. - Calm down.
The handrail is in front of you. Look for it.
OK, yes.
Hold onto the handrail.
Go down the six steps to the first landing.
Then there's nine more.
Julia...
- I'm downstairs. What now? - Follow the wall to the door.
Who are you? Who are you?
- What's going on? - I don't know.
Get out of the house! Quick!
There is no indication that someone entered the house.
There was someone there. And he was looking for something.
Sorry, but there's nothing else I can do.
- Do you want me to call the hospital? - Why?
Maybe you shouldn't recover here, considering what you've been through.
You don't believe me either.
I'm just saying that in your situation, it's normal if your senses deceive you.
Don't open your eyes now.
You can let go now.
What's the matter?
My eyes could get damaged, right?
No, I only want to change the bandage, and I took precautions.
I've done this a hundred times. Don't worry.
You know, when I was 20 years old,
I had a car accident and I was blind for two months.
And like you now, I imagined things and had nightmares.
And I rejected the care worker's help.
I couldn't stand the idea of going blind.
In the end, I recovered my sight.
But during those months...
...I understood what it was like to live in the dark.
That's why I became a care worker.
You made that up to make me feel better.
No, no. Call the hospital if you don't believe me.
Julia, I know you're scared, but the only way to lose that fear
is to fight it.
What do you say?
Will you let me help you?
- What happened? - You spilled it.
Try to get to the door. Follow the wall with your hand...
And after the glass cabinet...
Well, I have my ups and downs.
But I slept very well the last few nights.
Iván has been very patient with me all week.
Yes, he takes good care of me.
I will. I will, yes.
Thanks a lot for calling. Bye.
- Are you leaving? - Yes. It's a little late.
Why don't stay a bit longer?
A little while.
- Are you still afraid? - No.
No, it's not that.
Never mind.
OK, should I make a special dinner for two?
- Go and watch TV. I'll cook. - That's a little difficult.
Aren't you drinking too much?
I'm celebrating.
What?
That in four days,
I will have the bandages removed and I will see again.
Everything will be all right, Julia.
You know,
if the operation doesn't work, I couldn't complain.
I have seen everything I wanted to see.
What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?
Funny!
How ironic that you ask me that.
Why?
Because I spent my whole life looking for invisible planets.
My eyes have seen amazing things.
But nothing can compare to the sky in the Sahara.
That's where I met Isaac.
We were on the same excursion and we spent the whole night...
...staring at the sky.
I asked him, "Is that not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?"
And he said, "Yes."
When I turned my head,
I realized that he'd been watching me for a while and I got nervous.
And I asked him...
..."Why aren't you watching the universe?"
And he said, "I don't have to look up to do it."
"I can see the universe in your eyes."
And what happened?
I came close.
I touched him.
And I realized that he was nervous too.
In that moment it was as if we became one person.
And I wanted to know if he felt the same.
What did he say?
Nothing.
He replied with his gaze.
Why?
Why did he look at me that way? Why?
- Do you prefer I hadn't done it? - I don't know.
When you had the affair with Sara, I thought it was just an indiscretion,
but I swear I don't know what to think any more.
I don't know what to think.
Everything will be all right, Julia.
You promise?
I promise.
No, I can't.
I can't do it.
It's not right.
- Iván. - Don't say anything.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be. Don't say anything.
I'll call the hospital and ask to be replaced.
Is that what you want?
And you?
OK, I'll come back tomorrow and...
If not, just contact me on my pager.
Help! Help!
Help!
Calm down! I'm Blasco, the neighbor! Lia's father!
Call the police, please!
Calm down! You need a drink.
No, no. Call the police, please.
Why do you want to call the police? To tell another one of your nightmares?
- The last time they didn't believe you. - No. There was someone by my bed.
I swear, this time it's true.
And what did he want? To rape you?
It's my daughter. Don't be afraid.
I told you not to sneak up on people!
Go back to your bed!
And close the door!
Mr Blasco...
Can you call now, please?
Of course, of course. Don't worry.
How strange. There's no line.
Calm down.
I'll get the mobile phone.
The mobile is out of battery. It will take a few minutes to charge.
Sit down, sit down.
Sit down.
What do you say?
Do you want something to drink while we wait?
- What do you say? - Could I have a glass of water?
- Water? - Yes, my throat is a bit dry.
Julia, where are you going?
Hey!
Madam! Where are you, madam?
Madam!
Please, pick up.
Iván.
Pick up, please.
Julia, what's wrong?
- Julia! - Iván!
- Let's go to your house. - Not my house.
- Julia, calm down. - No, my house is not safe.
Please. Take me to your place.
OK.
OK, thanks. Bye.
What did they say?
Inspector Dimas won't be on duty until seven.
You should get some rest and I'll go with you tomorrow morning.
Julia, I won't let anyone hurt you.
You can sleep in my bed.
- And you? - I have a mattress. I'll be right back.
- No, no. - I'll be right back. You're safe here.
I'll be back in a minute.
Iván?
- Who are you? - I'm Lia.
- Who are you? - Lia Blasco.
Don't get close. How did you find me?
- I followed you. I was Sara's friend. - I said don't come close.
Listen, my father has nothing to do with all this.
- Your father lied to me. - My father is lonely, and you're hot.
I don't believe you.
I was the one who took the key and have been spying on you.
- You? - Do you have nightmares?
- What? - Sara also had them.
She dreamt of someone taking the bandage off and piercing her eyes with needles.
There's a monster on the street,
but no one can see him because he hides in the darkness.
He made Sara go blind and will do the same with you.
- Stop! - It's him.
I followed him and tried the key. And today I saw the needles again.
- It's him, Julia. It's the care worker. - No.
Listen to me!
Do you really think Isaac killed himself? He loved you.
- He loved Sara more. - They didn't want to worry you.
That's why they kept you in the dark. Sara told me.
Isaac wrote a suicide note. Leave me alone.
- The monster forced him to write it. - Monsters don't exist. Enough!
This one does.
He collects pictures.
His wall is covered with pictures of you and Sara.
- He removed your eyes. - Lia, that's enough!
Leave me alone!
What are you doing?
Use the key if you don't believe me.
The key. Where's the key?
- He took it. - No, you took it.
- Why me? - I don't know. To protect your father.
- It's him. Don't tell him I'm here. - Lia. Lia.
Iván?
Julia, what are you doing?
I'm really nervous.
I'll make you a cup of tea.
It will help you relax.
- Iván... - Yes?
I can't find the key. It's the only evidence to incriminate Blasco.
Did you take it?
- You must have dropped it. - Please, give it to me.
I'll keep it for you. You are very nervous.
I'll make you a cup of tea. You sit down and relax.
He's lying. He had the key.
- We have to get out of here. - I don't want to.
- You don't believe me now? - It's impossible. He is a care worker.
Shit! It's locked.
- Julia! - Yes?
- Do you want sugar? - Two teaspoons, thanks.
He wants to drug you and make you blind.
What are you saying?
- Can you take this off? - No. Why?
Then we can't get out of the window. I need to get the key.
Get rid of him and wait for me in the bathroom.
Here you go.
I'll take you to bed and wait until you fall asleep.
I need to go to the bathroom.
OK.
Thank you.
- Julia, is everything all right? - Yes. What was that noise?
I don't know. I heard it too.
I thought something had happened to you.
- Hurry up, or your tea will get cold. - I'll be right out.
Lia, please.
Four days left. Only four days.
Four days, four days.
Julia, I have to go down again. Are you OK?
Yes, I'll be right out.
Lia.
What are you doing here?
Why are you crying?
Please, answer me.
A girl called Lia came to see me.
Blasco's daughter.
And she made me very nervous.
- Why did you take the bandage off? - I couldn't see anything.
She told me horrible things about you and I was afraid.
About me?
You would never hurt me, would you?
No.
I had to...
I had to see your face to know it.
And what did you see?
Nothing. I can't see anything.
Are you sure you can't see anything?
Sometimes the eyes take time to adjust.
The operation didn't work.
I'm really sorry, Julia.
Probably the girl lied to you in order to protect her father.
Tomorrow... we'll speak with the inspector and all this will be over.
No. No.
No, please. Take me to the hospital now.
- Now, please. - We'll call Dr Román.
- Now. - Julia, listen to me.
Dr Román?
It's Iván. Sorry to wake you at this time of night.
I have a problem with Julia Levin.
She took the bandage off by accident.
I understand. I will tell her right now. Thanks, and sorry to bother you.
What did he say?
He's at a conference. We can't do anything until next week.
- Then take me to a different hospital. - No. Román said you have to rest.
- I need a second opinion. - Julia, the damage is done.
But if you don't do as I say, it will be irreversible.
OK.
Why did you get up?
- The kettle was whistling. - I'll do it. You sit down.
Be careful.
Very good.
This is nearly ready.
Here you are.
Thank you.
What's the matter?
Why are you doing all this, Iván?
What do you mean?
Why all this attention?
What do you want from me?
Well, Julia...
When...
When you kissed me...
I didn't expect it.
I didn't expect it, but don't think I don't like you because...
because that's not true.
I only wanted to give you some time. You've suffered a lot.
And some wounds need to heal.
What I'm trying to say is...
...I want to be with you.
Drink your tea.
Did you put sugar in it?
I'll bring some.
Two teaspoons, right?
As usual.
Done?
Can you come with me, please?
- Why? - I need your help with the freezer.
Come. Let's go. Leave this here.
Open the freezer.
Why?
Just do it.
Open the freezer, I said.
Liar.
Are you afraid?
You don't know what fear is!
You have no idea what fear is!
Real fear.
Fear of being ignored and rejected.
Look at me. Look at me!
You don't know what it's like to live in the dark and hide in another world.
A world full of silence, getting used to measuring your steps.
Always wearing the appropriate clothes.
Making your voice one voice and none.
And your eyes, two eyes and none.
It takes so long that eventually you become a shadow.
But one day you find out that blind girls realize that you're there,
that you're breathing, that you are still alive.
That you can offer them your eyes for theirs, your hands for theirs...
That's why our relationship is so perfect.
That's why...
...we have to continue this way.
If you are not Iván, who are you?
Where are you taking me?
My eyes hurt. Something is wrong.
Take the bandage off, please.
Please.
Please, take it off.
Please, my eyes hurt. Take the bandage off.
Shut up!
I beg you.
Let me see.
It's started again, right?
This time...
...it will be more intense.
Get out of the car. You have to pack your bags.
Open the door, Julia.
Open the fucking door! Open the door!
Open the fucking door!
Julia!
Who's there?
Is the main door locked?
- Is that you, Julia? You scared me. - Is it locked?
Yes, of course. What's wrong?
- There's a murderer in the area. - A murderer?
We have to call the police. Where's the phone?
There, in the corner. Under the painting.
Don't move.
Be quiet.
- What's wrong? - Don't move.
- It's him. He's here. - Who?
Don't come any closer, you son of a bitch.
- Who are you talking to? - To a man who thinks he's invisible.
He made Sara go blind and he wants to do the same to me.
- You're scaring me. - Stay away.
Soledad, call the police.
- Call the police, quick! - Don't do it, Mum.
Ăngel...
Is that you, son?
Yes.
I'm back home.
This woman says you're chasing her.
This woman is crazy.
- Your son is a murderer. - Shut up. Don't listen to her, Mum.
- He killed my husband. - She's lying.
- He killed my husband and Sara too. - Shut up.
- It must have been easy to hang her. - I loved Sara.
She killed herself because she wasn't capable of living in darkness.
Capable?
No one is capable of getting used to it. You made her go blind.
You killed her.
- Is that true, son? - Mum, mum. You know me.
I said don't move.
Make the call. Make it.
I knew you'd come back.
I knew you'd realize that you can only be happy here.
I told you that without me, you'd be nothing.
Less than nothing.
Invisible.
Since when can you see, Mum?
But you're still my son, and I won't let anybody take you away from me.
Mum, I asked you a question.
Since when can you see?
Ăngel, what are you doing, son?
What are you doing, son? No, no.
No, no.
Calm down, Mum.
- It's me. - Mum, calm down.
Look, Mum, this liquid attacks the optic nerve without causing any pain.
Don't worry. And these needles are very useful too.
- Don't do it, please. - Mum, I have to do it.
- Oh, my boy! - Don't worry.
What are we doing here?
I won't use it on you.
Your optic nerve must be very damaged by now. It won't take long.
- This can't end like this. - Don't worry. Don't worry.
Don't worry. When the darkness comes, I'll be by your side.
I've packed your bags.
We will go far away and nobody will find us.
We will start from scratch.
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me, son of a bitch.
I will never love you. Never.
I would die first.
- Don't touch me! - Is that what you want?
Don't touch me!
Let go of me!
- Let go of me! - Come on, do it!
Stay with me.
Do it. Do it.
Do it! Do it!
- Do it. - I can't! I can't!
Of course you can't.
Although you don't know it... you love me.
Because you know that without me, you are nothing.
And I am only a shadow without you.
Julia, why did you lock the door?
- Hello? - Inspector. It's Julia.
Julia, it's you.
Listen to me, because this is the last time I'll call you.
- Calm down. - He's locked me in my house.
- Calm down, Julia. - He's going to kill me.
If you don't come, it will be too late. You have to believe me. Please.
- Julia, please, calm down. - Are you listening to me?
Inspector?
Julia!
Julia, police! Cover the stairs and the hallway.
Julia, are you there?
It's Dimas. Can you hear me?
- Julia, what are you doing? - Shut up!
- What's going on? - I said shut up!
Can you see him? Can you see him, Inspector?
Police! Put the knife down! Put your hands above your head!
Don't look at me.
Don't look at me, please.
- Don't look at me! - Put the knife down!
Put it down!
What are you doing? Put the knife down!
I will go blind, won't I?
How long do I have?
You'll go blind before dawn.
I need you to do me a favor.
Can we have a moment?
What happened to his eyes?
He donated them.
And where are they?
Where he would have wanted.
Isaac, why?
My God, I miss you so much.
You promised me.
You told me that when you looked into my eyes...
...you could see the entire universe.
I still can.
