Julia's Eyes (Los ojos de Julia / Julias Eyes)

Listen to me.

OK, you win.

At least you could stop that song. You know I hate it.

Why are you so quiet?

Say something!

You're there.

And you're looking at me.

Do you think you can fool me?

No, no, you can't fool me,

because I can feel your presence.

And your movements.

I can even smell you.

If you think...

If you think, son of a bitch,

that I'll hang myself while you watch, you...

- What's wrong? - What happened?

Julia, what's wrong?

Julia, can you hear me? Bring some water.

Take it easy, Julia.

Julia, are you OK?

- What happened? - She fell.

- Call a doctor, quick! - No, I'm OK.

I'm OK.

This is Sara. I can't take your call at the moment. Please...

Do you think it's a good idea to show up after six months?

I just need to know that she is all right.

Sara?

Sara?

Maybe they have gone out.

No...

I know something's happened to her.

The power is out.

- The fuses seem to be OK. - I'll look upstairs.

Sara?

Sara?

Isaac, she's nowhere to be found. We'll ask the neighbors.

- Don't come down. - Why?

What's wrong?

Isaac, tell me what's wrong.

- What's wrong? - Julia...

- What's wrong? - Come with me.

Inspector...

I'm sorry about what happened.

No, thanks.

The forensics say Sara took her own life last night, during the blackout.

But we need to find out why.

I have been informed that she suffered a degenerative disease.

Yes, a progressive vision loss, the same as my wife.

But Sara went blind a year ago.

And how did she cope with that?

My sister wasn't depressed, if that's what you mean.

In fact, she was...

She was going to have surgery, right?

She was waiting for a donor, but she hoped to get her vision back.

Maybe she got tired of waiting.

All right.

Yes, thank you.

Dr Román can't come to the funeral, and he sends his condolences.

He also wants to check your eyes before you go back home.

Isaac, the power is back.

Darling, are you listening?

And the CD started playing. Did you hear it?

- Yes. - Don't you think it's strange

that Sara was listening to music before...?

Besides, she hated that song.

- Julia... - What if she wasn't alone?

- What if she was with somebody? - Julia, please.

We may never find out her reasons. We hadn't heard from her in months.

It's strange. I need to know what happened.

- It's not good for you to get upset. - I'm not worried about myself.

Well, I am. Stress can turn you blind.

It's only happened to me twice in five years.

And you've lost 20% of your vision.

Oh, no... Again.

Did you find anything?

Nothing, not even a candle.

- It's time to meet the neighbors. - OK, hurry up.

Isaac?

Julia.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm Blasco, her next-door neighbor.

I didn't know your sister very well,

but Lia loved her very much and she wanted me to bring you this.

Lia?

My daughter. Sara used to lend her books.

The poor girl is so upset she didn't want to come out of the car.

Anyway...

Sorry... Lia would like to know if Sara left any note.

- We don't know. - I understand.

Anyway, I won't bother you any longer.

Shall we continue?

Only a neighbor and his daughter?

I didn't know she was so lonely.

But I forgave her.

And I also forgave you.

Now I only need to forgive myself for not being by her side.

But I did everything I could, didn't I, Isaac?

The autopsy doesn't reveal anything strange.

- Have you searched for fingerprints? - We only found ours and hers.

OK, but...

That song...

And what about what happened in the cemetery?

Julia, there's no evidence of anyone being with your sister.

And nobody has seen or heard anything suspicious.

You can speak with Soledad if you wish.

- With whom? - An old lady who lives nearby.

Apparently, she helped your sister when she went blind.

Don't be long.

Where does she live?

Follow the rope in the yard.

What rope?

I'm sure the old woman doesn't know anything.

Nobody else knew apart from you.

But you have to speak with your wife. She'll find out sooner or later.

I'll wait for the right moment.

Mrs Soledad?

Hello?

Who is it?

It's Julia, Sara's sister.

I'll be right out.

Sorry about the mess. The house must be quite disgusting.

Hello...

- Are you there? - Yes. Sorry, I didn't know you were...

I am sorry too. I wanted to come to your sister's funeral, but...

it took me an hour to find a pair of matching shoes.

It's OK.

Were you a good friend of Sara?

Well, when she started losing her eyesight,

a year ago, we used to have long conversations.

But lately she hardly spoke with me.

She had made new friends.

- What new friends? - You know, younger people.

- From the Baumann Centre. - Baumann Centre. What's that?

A centre for blind people, not far from here.

One of those places where they make you believe you can live a normal life.

If you can't hear, you are deaf. If you lost an arm, you are a cripple.

And if you can't see, you are blind.

And nothing can ever be how it used to be.

Mrs Soledad, where can I take a taxi?

Thank you.

Go straight ahead, down the stairs and turn right.

Poor Sara.

- Why would she hang herself? - Stop thinking about it.

- Shall we have a moment of silence? - Don't be cruel.

None of us could stand her.

Don't you find it strange?

No.

We've all thought of doing it at some time.

Dela...

Nora is right. I once thought of slitting my wrists.

With candles and opera music.

Me too, I thought of jumping out of the window.

Well, we thought about it but didn't do it.

There's a reason to live.

Maybe Sara didn't find any.

And a boyfriend doesn't seem like a good reason?

Sara had a boyfriend?

She told me she met a boy.

- Who? - No idea.

They had been going out together for a couple of months.

They even went to Bellavista together for a week.

- What's in Bellavista? - Rooms for sex.

Quiet!

How weird! Shit!

What is it?

There's someone here.

- I would say it's Sara. - That's not funny!

- I can smell her too. - Something is moving.

- I've got her! Call security! - I'm Sara's sister.

Julia?

Yes.

- Why were you spying on us? - I just didn't want to interrupt.

- And who is he? - Who?

- The man who came with you. - I came alone.

There's someone else here.

A man, and he's right behind you.

Wait!

Who are you?

Turn around.

Turn around.

I said turn around!

No, no!

Isaac?

Isaac?

Hotel Romeo, Bellavista.

What happened to you?

You are soaking wet.

It started raining when I left Soledad's house.

Have you been with her all this time?

She invited me for tea. I couldn't say no.

Julia, I went to look for you. You left her place an hour ago.

Where have you been?

Why are you so controlling?

I could also ask you what you're looking for.

Fine.

Fine.

Now I'm certain there was something strange in Sara's suicide.

- There's someone watching us. - Julia, Julia, please.

Who?
