What a pain!

What are you doing here?

- How'd you get in?

- That's easy.

A friend in maintenance

owed me a little favor.

And talking about favors,

now you owe me one.

The suitcase.

The old lady went to pick it up.

We'll never know what was in it.

- How'd you sleep?

- Fine.

- Please leave.

- Sure.

I told reception no calls.

You need to rest up a bit.

Well, what can I do for you?

Get out.

You have to go.

Sure, and so do you.

It's almost eleven...

and from here to the

University we've got...

You're the one who's leaving.

Just a moment.

It's for you.

- For me?

- Yes, for you.

I said I'd be here.

Excuse me. Yes?

Hey, man, what's up?

I'm with a friend.

What is it?

Yeah.

Okay, five minutes.

I can't go with you.

I'm so sorry.

Did I give you my card?

Yesterday.

Well, here,

I get a good price on them.

If you need any,

or anything else, just call.

At any time.

Will you?

Don't worry.

Yes?

- Julia.

- Doctor.

I called this morning

but couldn't get through.

They made a mistake.

Listen.

Do me a favor.

Find a Santos Vella's

medical record.

- With a double "I".

- Like in mozzarella.

Send it to me at the University.

Right away.

For your lecture?

Of course.

Find the origin of the illness

in the body. Surround it...

in an attempt to establish

the progress of the metastasis.

Determining what organs

were infected first.

Who infected who?

Differentiating the focal point

from the satellites.

A sick body is like a freeway,

full of signs.

Of indicators.

Some are clear, luminous.

Others are concealed.

Illness is a clumsy criminal.

It leaves clues.

Many times, the body itself

is the origin of the illness.

It creates it and

encourages it along the way.

From where?

Is there an evil gland?

Ancient people spent their lives

searching for it.

They thought that removing it,

they would eradicate the illness.

Today,

in certain Asian countries...

live rats are inserted

in the sick patients' bodies...

to track down putrefaction

amongst the healthy organs.

We now know that gland

is not in the human body.

It's in the soul.

In those occasions, the illness...

is a self-destructive process.

Trying to check it is like...

trying to stop a suicidal person.

Death...

always finds its way.

It is an end that...

cannot be refused.

It's there from the very beginning.

It's part of the deal

ever since we're born.

All births...

carry an implicit death.

It is not enough to teach students...

how to eradicate the illness.

We must also learn...

to accept it.

Doctor!

Do me the honor.

You know each other, right?

Listen to me.

I don't know how you do this...

nor why, but I don't care!

I don't want to see you again!
