kill another snake.

We were in Africa.

She had the same phobia as you.

She was waiting outside the tent,

terrified, defenseless...

...and totally naked...

...because she had seen the snake,

while we were asleep.

Was it the same one who made

you sleep in the living room?

I hate that woman.

-I haven't seen her for years.

-Even worse.

What can I do to make you

forget her?

Exactly what you are doing now.

You were sound asleep. We didn't

want to wake you up.

-Is Dr Vega here?

-He is in his office.

Rosa, close the door.

There's a draft.

-She opened her eyes.

-That gives me the creeps!

-And when she yawns?

-I sh*t myself!

Good morning, doctor.

I want to talk to you.

How are you? Did you sleep well?

I will buy you coffee.

How long for might Lydia

stay like that?

Months... years...

maybe for the rest of her life...

There is no hope?

As a doctor, I have to say

no... However...

RESUSCITATION:

Meryl Moon wakes up after

15 years in a coma.

She went into a coma during

childbirth.

Meryl was a PVS, persistent

vegetative state, like Lydia, for life.

Her recovery contradicts

everything I am about to say.

That is, that there is hope.

I insist. Scientifically, no.

But if you want to have faith,

OK.

Is she opening her eyes?

Or I imagine this?

She does, but that doesn't mean

she is aware of anything.

Her brain cell has been

completely destroyed.

However, it can control

the automatic functions...

such as breathing, sleeping,

waking up and intestinal functions.

She opens her eyes,

but mechanically.

Her brain is dead. She has

no ideas and feelings.

Come in, please.

-My name is Benigno.

-Marco Zuloaga

This is Alicia.

Was it your first night here?

The first one is the worst.

Then you get used to it.

Why these boots?

They prevent her feet from

twisting or falling.

-They look like 'Ibiza' boots.

-I've never been to Ibiza.

-I know you.

-From my books?

It was in Cafe Muller...

We happened to be sitting together.

And at some stage,

you started crying.

I told you about him.

He cried watching "Caf Muller".

I have to go.

That fast?

We barely talked.

-Maybe another time.

-Will you come in the afternoon?

Come to see us. I am always here,

even during the night.

I am a 'veteran' here.

If you need something...

-Should I call Dr Vega;

-Carry on with what you are doing.

The other day, while browsing

my notes...

...I found some

from your visit.

I wrote a topic to be discussed

during the second visit...

...that never took place.

-What about?

-Your sexual orientation.

-My sexual orientation?

-yes, your sexuality.

Whether you like men or women.

During your visit, you said

you were still a virgin.
