00:25Thank you!
00:41Of course, if you want to avoid sleep, a good toothache is the best thing.
00:46However, sometimes a heavy digestion produces the same effect.
00:51I warn you that cooking is not easy at all.
00:54No, no, no. Very often, the potatoes are undercooked.
00:58or undercooked pasta, prevents us from getting any rest at night.
01:05There are horror stories that have the same effect on us as a stew of almost raw lentils.
01:11They steal our sleep, our rest, our peace.
01:14Within the science fiction genre there are also some stories
01:18that steal our rest and sleep.
01:21Ray Bradbury is an American author who wrote many of the best science fiction stories
01:27And to him, to him specifically belongs the one we are going to offer you tonight.
01:31Oh dear! Speaking of science fiction and gastronomy,
01:35I will never forget that last year, because of the bulbs,
01:38There were many who couldn't eat baby squid.
01:42I fear that something similar will happen with this story.
01:45But with this, they are mushrooms, wild fungi.
01:52Ah! It's a truly exquisite treat.
01:56However, some species are dangerously poisonous.
02:00But recognizing them is easy.
02:02Simply boil them and simultaneously add a silver spoon.
02:09If the spoon turns black, it means they are poisonous.
02:16Today I'm expecting some friends for dinner, yes.
02:19They are colleagues, television producers, adapters.
02:24Let's see.
02:27Uh-huh.
02:29Perfect.
02:30Perfect.
02:31Sometimes, competition can be so annoying.
02:37Messenger?
02:39Mister.
02:40Please take this package to 47 Templeton Street,
02:43On the outskirts of Philadelphia, huh?
02:44Well, well, well, son.
02:46Our story begins with the arrival of this package.
02:50Do you want to see it?
02:52Well then, enjoy your meal.
02:56Thank you.
03:13Well, well, well, well, well!
03:40Well, well, well!
04:12Well, well, well!
04:43Mr. Thomas Fortune?
04:45Yes, this is it.
04:45This package is for him.
04:48Please sign here.
04:49Yes, of course.
04:51Wait a moment.
04:56Hugo.
04:57Yeah.
04:58Give me some coins.
05:00Who was he?
05:00A messenger brought this for Mr. Thomas Fortune.
05:05Tomi.
05:06I'm coming.
05:07Low.
05:09Tomi.
05:11Low.
05:11They've brought a package for you.
05:13A package?
05:14Yeah.
05:14It's Bradley's crop company, right?
05:17Yes, it seems so.
05:18What is it, Tomi?
05:19Careful.
05:20They can get damaged.
05:21What did you have sent this time?
05:23Don't you read the ads in all the newspapers?
05:26Well, here it is.
05:34Look, Dad.
05:37And what is that?
05:38A business, Dad.
05:40A lucrative business.
05:41He sends her 25 cents.
05:43And then you grow them.
05:44And then they buy them from you for 50 cents a pound.
05:47Do you grow them?
05:48But what is it about?
05:49They are fungi.
05:50This is guaranteed growth wild stuff.
05:53They just need moisture and shade.
05:54A basement or cellar is the best place.
05:56And since our cellar is two old liters,
05:59I thought you wouldn't mind me growing them.
06:02Right, Mom?
06:03No, of course not.
06:04Okay, listen, but how is it possible for fungus to grow from something so tiny?
06:08Well, they leave.
06:09And very big.
06:10Yesterday I saw the ones Joe Green grows and they're great.
06:14He'll start selling them soon.
06:15Almost all the boys at the school are involved in cultivating them.
06:19Well, this mushroom business is better than raising giant insects.
06:24I can still picture that enormous cockroach swimming in the soup.
06:28Slowly, don't choke.
06:30See you later.
06:31Good harvest, farmer.
06:33Well, I really hope that mushrooms or something like that actually come out of that, come on.
06:39I remember that at his age I decided to become a millionaire by raising silkworms.
06:44Don't tell him, don't tell him, I can already see myself chasing worms all over the house.
07:00What? Are we working?
07:02Yes. The first ones need to be planted in mud.
07:05And all those drawers?
07:07They're not drawers, they're growing trays.
07:10For fungi?
07:11Clear.
07:13Do you plan to grow that much?
07:14Of course.
07:15They grow very fast.
07:17I've also set up the tables on the shelves.
07:19See?
07:20A two-inch layer of moist soil, as per the instructions.
07:24Yes, yes, yes. Okay, okay.
07:26Well, but...
07:27It's best not to talk to your mother too much about...
07:30...regarding the cultivation technique, huh?
07:33See you later, Tommy.
07:34See you later, Dad.
07:43See you later, Dad.
08:14Excuse me, sir.
08:16Yeah.
08:18Here are the reports you asked me for.
08:20Ah.
08:23What time does the committee meet?
08:24At three o'clock.
08:25He called the director saying that he had a special interest in having this present.
08:29Well, in that case I'll have no other choice but to do that.
08:33Yes, go ahead.
08:36Good morning, Hugo.
08:37Hi, Roger. Come in.
08:42What do you want?
08:44Nothing.
08:45Invite you for coffee.
08:46Thank you so much.
08:48Are you very busy?
08:49No, no, no. Sit down.
08:53Be careful, it's very hot.
08:56Thank you, Ana.
08:57Oh, and don't forget to call the Metropol and reserve two seats for me on Saturday, okay?
09:00No, sir.
09:01Good.
09:01Good morning, sir.
09:02Good morning, sir.
09:03Good morning, miss.
09:06What do they do at the Metropol?
09:08A musical comedy.
09:10They're taking it down next week and...
09:11And Cintia doesn't want to miss it.
09:20Good coffee, huh?
09:21Oh yes, I believe it.
09:25Hugo.
09:26Yeah.
09:28I don't want to see a psychiatrist and...
09:30That's why I've come to steal five minutes of your time.
09:33Should I see a psychiatrist?
09:34Yeah.
09:36Well, I don't want to ask him because nothing's really wrong with me, but...
09:40What I feel...
09:42The thing is...
09:46Something's happening.
09:48I don't understand.
09:52Hugo, we've been friends since school and you know me well.
09:56You're actually the only friend who really knows me.
09:59Yes, of course.
10:02That's why I'm asking you to...
10:04Listen to me.
10:06And that you listen to me without laughing.
10:09Alright.
10:10Can I hear you?
10:15Hugo, I think there's something in the world that's not working right.
10:20Well, but that's nothing new.
10:24I mean that...
10:27Something strange is going on.
10:31Something invisible, impalpable.
10:36To Ferguson...
10:37I think Ferguson, the one in administration, is experiencing...
10:39What about me.
10:41Today, when we were going up in the elevator, he was...
10:43He was talking to me about...
10:46Flying saucers.
10:49And then he came to my office and gave me a whole lecture.
10:53About flying saucers?
10:56Yeah.
10:58And?
10:59Do you think it's about to be invaded by extraterrestrial ships?
11:08No, no, no, no, that's not it.
11:15Hugo, how would you define intuition?
11:18Intuition?
11:20Well, I don't know.
11:22The visionary should appear more or less as...
11:25Like recognizing, becoming aware of an idea that has remained in the subconscious.
11:31Knowing something without having thought or reasoned about it beforehand.
11:37Yes, yes.
11:39That is.
11:41Things grow over time.
11:43They incubate, don't they?
11:47Suddenly you feel the urge to spit, and yet you don't...
11:50You don't remember collecting saliva.
11:54Dust is constantly falling on this table, but you don't see it.
12:00However, when it has accumulated a lot, you notice it and give it a name.
12:12That's intuition, the way I see it.
12:19So, what kind of dust has been falling on me?
12:27Don't know.
12:28Don't know.
12:29Perhaps while observing some meteors in the sky at night or...
12:35Or when you notice that the birds beg differently at dawn.
12:39Or that the garden soil smells different when it is watered.
12:46Or that the hair on my arms stands on end for no reason.
12:53Maybe...
12:54These little things have been that...
12:58That dust that has been accumulating on me.
13:04The thing is, I suddenly found out.
13:08Known what?
13:13That between us there is...
13:15Something strange.
13:17Among us?
13:19Yeah.
13:20Among us, in the world, among humans.
13:23Something that never existed on Earth.
13:25Well, but Roger...
13:27And what is that something?
13:31Don't know.
13:34Don't know.
13:35And I swear I can't live.
13:36I can't live anymore.
13:38I'm scared, I'm not scared.
13:41I'm scared again.
13:47I was recently examined at the insurance clinic and I am healthy.
13:53Completely healthy.
13:55I have no financial or family problems.
14:00Dorothy is a woman like few others, and my son Joe is an excellent boy.
14:06Well, you already know them very well.
14:10I don't have anything.
14:14Absolutely nothing, and yet fear won't let me live.
14:23Absurd, isn't it?
14:32Cigarette?
14:44What do you want from my rolls?
14:46Any advice?
14:50No.
14:52No, I've come to see you to...
14:54I asked you to listen to me, to...
14:57that you didn't laugh and...
14:59and then what...
15:00That?
15:01That?
15:04Keep an eye on it for a few days.
15:07Let him keep an eye on things.
15:10Monitor what?
15:13All.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Watch everything, everything...
15:18which...
15:18what surrounds you.
15:21Hugo,
15:23Because of the way we live most of the time, we don't...
15:27We do not use...
15:28not even half the power of our senses.
15:32We don't observe, no...
15:33We don't analyze...
15:35everything that is around us.
15:39That's why I'm asking you to try for a few days to...
15:42to smell more.
15:44Of...
15:45to like more, to...
15:47to reflect on everything you see and...
15:51and everything you taste.
15:55Do it.
15:56Do it and you'll see how...
15:58You're doing something strange.
16:02Something about the way the sun reflects off your glass...
16:04from your car's windshield or...
16:08or in the song of the cicadas...
16:11or in the wind.
16:16Something that is no longer the same.
16:21Keep an eye on it for a few days and...
16:23Then, if you want, laugh at me.
16:26OK?
16:28I'll try to do it.
16:34Hugo.
16:37Do you think I'm crazy?
16:39No, man, no.
16:41Maybe a little frayed nerves, but nothing more.
16:48Will you come over for lunch on Sunday?
16:50Of course.
16:51And on Monday you'll do our thing, as always.
16:54Everything is as usual, Royo.
17:02Everything remains the same as always.
17:07Hopefully.
17:11I hope you're right.
17:17Hopefully.
17:18Hopefully.
17:40Thank you!
18:05Thank you!
18:21Thank you!
18:42Thank you!
18:47Cintia!
18:59Cintia!
19:12Cintia!
19:17Cintia!
19:19Excuse me, dear. I was looking for a light bulb. This one burned out. Here, since you're here, put it in.
19:27When I entered, I called you a couple of times and I was scared when you didn't answer.
19:35Were you scared? And why?
19:38I don't know. Maybe it's because of something Roger told me in the office.
19:54Well, that's it.
19:58Let there be light!
20:01Here, this telegram was brought to you a few minutes ago.
20:04A telegram?
20:26Whose is it?
20:30From Roger?
20:31Roger's? But where is he?
20:34Traveling to New Orleans.
20:37He put this telegram in a jar.
20:42Today when I spoke to Roger he didn't tell me anything about what he was planning to travel.
20:47Hugo, what does this "moment of lucidity" and "package" mean?
20:54No, I don't know.
20:59Cinthia?
21:00Yeah.
21:02Don't you think the crickets are chirping very loudly tonight?
21:07Crickets?
21:09No.
21:12Or maybe so.
21:15Don't know.
21:18And it's curious because crickets don't usually sing so loudly in winter.
21:23Why do you ask?
21:25No, no, no.
21:27No reason.
21:29No reason.
21:37Who are you calling?
21:38To Roger's house.
21:40Dorote needs to know the reason for the trip.
21:45Communicate.
21:46Call her to the irrigation.
21:47No.
21:49I prefer to drive closer for a moment.
21:54If I'm late, have dinner without me.
21:59Oh, and...
22:01And it closes...
22:02Lock the door from the inside when I leave.
22:05Because?
22:07Well, I don't know, but...
22:09But it closes.
22:11Please close.
22:38Musical decor.
22:39Please close.
22:42Communicate.
22:43No.
22:52I was leaving.
23:17There's nobody here, sir.
23:20What did you say?
23:21There's nobody there.
23:23I am Luisa, sir.
23:26The kitchen belonged to the Grimm family.
23:28He doesn't remember me.
23:29Ah, yes, Luisa.
23:31Of course.
23:33Excuse me.
23:34What happens if the gentlemen have marched?
23:36Don't know.
23:38It's very strange.
23:39I went out this afternoon to buy some things for dinner.
23:41And when I returned, I found the house like this.
23:44Dark and closed.
23:46Since I left my keys inside, I can't open the door now.
23:50How long has he been here?
23:52For more than two hours.
23:55It's not possible.
23:57I just called and it was busy.
23:58Perhaps he made a mistake when marking.
24:00What do you think I should do?
24:05We must report this to the police.
24:06To the police?
24:07Yes, in case something bad has happened.
24:09Let's go.
24:10Come on.
24:21Come on.
24:50Thank you!
25:20Thank you!
25:24Yeah
25:25Hello, Hugo, is that you?
25:28Hi Roger, where are you?
25:30Where do you want me to be? Arrested by the police in a town called Raiston because of a complaint you filed against me.
25:35Forgive me, Roger, but when I received your telegram...
25:38But what telegram?
25:39The one you sent me from Darrow
25:40I didn't send you any telegram
25:45Well, but...
25:46Later I went to your house and both you and your wife had disappeared.
25:49I thought the wisest course of action would be...
25:51Missing?
25:53It's just a business trip that Dorothy took advantage of to accompany me and have a good time.
25:56You call that disappearing?
26:00This is all very strange, Roger.
26:01You are not in danger
26:03No, man, no
26:04They are not threatening you or forcing you to speak like that
26:06Don't talk nonsense, Hugo
26:07We're perfectly fine and nothing's wrong with us.
26:09Go on, talk to Lieutenant Parker of the Raiston police and tell him to let us go.
26:13See you soon
26:14See you soon, but remember that...
26:16Hello? Hugo Fortune?
26:18Yes, it's me.
26:20Apparently, you requested that Mr. Green and his wife be located because they endangered you.
26:25Here, next to me, they are both safe and sound.
26:28Do you have any objection to me continuing my trip?
26:31No, of course not
26:34It was a misunderstanding.
26:39Forgive me
26:40Well, at least we know that Dorothy and Roger are okay.
26:43No, they are not.
26:45What do you mean, no? But Roger just told you that...
26:47It doesn't matter what he said
26:49It must have been Roger who sent the telegram
26:53After sending it, he changed his mind
26:55But why?
26:57And why did he want to warn me to reject every package?
27:03Package
27:06The only package we've received for a while was the one that arrived for Tommy this morning.
27:17Where are you going?
27:18At Roger's house
27:18I want to check it out.
27:21Check it?
27:23This morning, do you remember?
27:25Tommy told us that Roger's son
27:28He has been growing mushrooms for a long time.
27:30So that boy must have received a package too.
27:34Yes, but what does that have to do with anything? Why are you going to Roger's house now?
27:37Because the police
27:40He arrested Roger and his wife
27:42Just the two of them
27:45Your son
27:47Where is your son?
27:48But, Hugo
27:49I'll be right back
27:59Cintia, will you do me a favor?
28:00Look in the trash can for the paper I wrapped and the package Tommy received
28:04I want to see where it's coming from, don't you?
28:06Yeah
28:24Three
28:25Three
28:25The
28:28Three
28:28The
30:05Oh, this cold makes my lungs sound so unpleasant, doesn't it?
30:11I came to tell you not to worry, that absolutely nothing is going to happen to the lady.
30:16Well, nothing until I go down to the cellar.
30:19Oh, I'm also here to let you know that the time allotted to me for creating this space has ended.
30:25Therefore, to see the end, the unpleasant end of this story, we will have to wait until next Friday.
30:32Yes, I know, yes, it is unfortunate, but, mesdames et messieurs, c'est la vie.
30:38Until Friday.
