00:03:55 Roberto!

00:09:15 --Who was it? --Nobody. Never said anything.

00:11:53 - the neck stiff, a nice clean cut and off with his head.

00:18:18 What does he want from you?

00:20:38 I can't tell anyone. What are we gonna do?

00:23:05 --You got a problem? --I'll say.

00:24:40 Nasty business.

00:26:32 Special delivery..!

00:33:35 --Hi, Roberto. --Hi, Dalia. How come---

00:35:09 More willing than able to sacrifice herself for the sake of science.

00:38:56 Just remember one thing. I killed a man.

00:41:49 But now, a real killing - that maid.

00:45:29 Thank you.

00:46:59 --Other women maybe? --No.

00:49:05 But you're right, it's better for you to go.

00:53:26 Hi hi. I need more evidence.

00:56:57 The patient was here for three years. After the father died -

01:06:23 - there have been only 230 years of peace. Incredible, isn't it?

01:08:48 Seeing all these worms make a living out of death kind of knocks the fear out of you, right?

01:10:31 A double coffin for double deaths.

01:19:13 I was wondering if a member of the family would like to be present.

01:23:57 So far, so good. Nothing's happened.

01:29:33 You killed Dalia. That's what she saw. You did it. You did it all!

01:32:29 Put me in it too. Three whole years.
