"SENSUALITY" "God save me." "He's going to kill me too." "No, I don't want to die." "Why did it have to come to this?" "Why, God?" "Why?" "The public prosecutor presented his accusations against Aurora Ruiz for robbery on April 17th of this year for taking 10,000 pesos from Mr. Francisco Sanchez, and asks she be convicted by the terms of Article 370 of the penal code." "The defense asserted her innocence and requested an acquittal." "Does the accused wish to speak?" "Yes, your honor." "I lived in an orphanage until womanhood." "When I left, I looked at myself in a full-body mirror and thought:" ""Aurora..." ""...you've got great legs."" "See for yourself, your honor!" "Silence!" "There's no need to." "Continue." ""With those legs," I thought, "you ought to dance."" "So I learned to dance." "Then I worked at that cabaret, and did really well." "It's not my fault the customers liked me." "Especially that fat idiot there!" "Silence!" "Now without the name-calling." "It's not my fault he bought me drinks and took me for a car ride." "He got so insistent that I had to whack him on the head with my shoe." "All I did was defend my honor." "Yes, and in the process, stole all the money in my wallet." "I'm innocent, your honor, like my charming lawyer said." "I didn't steal anything." "The captain even searched me." "Ask him." "Her boyfriend had it." "He's the one who hit me from behind!" " Rizos isn't a part of this!" "That's a lie!" "Good grief!" "Silence!" "Anyone interrupting the hearing will be thrown out." "Finished?" "Yes, your honor." "Then I'll deliver the sentence." "For all of you, this is one of many court cases which aren't worth wasting time on." "You all laughed as if this were a comedy." "The defendant herself doesn't seem to take her situation seriously." "I'm sure her lawyer told her that in five minutes she'll be back on the street." "However this case, which is so typical and so indecent, is one of the worst symptoms of moral rot in our times." "The law mustn't remain indifferent." "An example must be made." "Therefore, with all legal requirements met..." "I declare the defendant Aurora Ruiz guilty of the crime of robbery." "I sentence her to prison for two years and a day." "I'm sorry, Aurora." "I've won much worse cases, but we got the strictest, toughest judge in the city." "Two years will pass quickly." "Two years?" "Only two years?" "I'm not spending one day in here, got that?" "I'm not!" "It shouldn't be me in here!" "I don't want to be in jail!" " Any statement, your honor?" " None, sir." "Another of your victims." "You should be behind bars too." "Me?" "I'm innocent." "In any case, my only crime is that they go nuts." "But that's not punishable by law." " Anything else, your honor?" " No, Martinez." "Thanks." "We worked a lot today." " Like every day." " You can go." " Excuse me, your honor." " Hello, captain." " See you." "Congratulations, Alejandro." "A few more like that and you'll eliminate a lot of headaches for us cops." "I only did my duty." "Hey, what's all that money?" "Disputed assets in my care, to be given to whom the law decides." "Not inviting me to lunch?" "You're always invited." "You know you're like family." "Let's go." " When you're ready." "This clock loses five minutes every two days." "Still obsessed with punctuality?" "Your move, Raul." "What are you thinking about?" " His fiancée, I'm sure." "You know Esperanza, Ricardo's daughter, right?" "Of course, she's a charming young woman." "Congratulations, Raul." " Thank you." "Check." "Distracted, eh?" "Your move, Santos." "Look at him, proud of his son for leading in chess." "But I'm more proud of my wife." "Next month, we'll have known each other for 30 years." "Did you know that?" " Yes." "And I'm so envious of you two." " Oh come on." "Since your wife's death, we've told you over and over to move in here." "I know, Alejandro." "I know." "I appreciate it." "But I'm a widower..." "who's intolerable and sad." "We're best as we are." "What's on your mind?" "I can't stop thinking about that poor girl you convicted earlier." "While we're here, happy and at ease, she'll be in jail for two years." "Weren't you a bit hard on her?" "That poor girl, as you call her, committed a crime and must pay for it." "Yes, I know, but..." "maybe it's not all her fault." "Maybe she was born in poverty, grew up around hostility and danger, was taken advantage of by men..." "I don't know." "It makes me very sad." "It's the only way to deal with those types." "Without fear of law, they'll be uncontrollable." "Alejandro's right." "You have to be firm." "Otherwise, we won't be able to go out into the street." "Give up, Santos?" "This game is too violent for me." "Don't worry, Eulalia." "Your husband did society a service, and I daresay that the girl..." "You'll see." "She'll leave jail a changed person." "I hope so." "You really think I was too hard on her?" "It's not that." "I know you followed your conscience." "I know you very well, but..." "That pain again?" "It's nothing." "It passed." "Have a seat." "Feel better?" "Yes." "JUDGE LUQUE TO CLEAN UP TENT SHOWS AND LOCAL CABARETS" "CRIME DOWN IN MEXICO CITY" "Aurora!" "Hey, that time in jail has done wonders for you." "You're prettier than ever." "You never came to visit me, so you didn't know." "That's because I thought:" ""With Aurora in jail, I might as well leave Mexico."" "And now I'm back." "You were just afraid I'd sing." "That's why you left." "Or not?" "Well, okay... but now I see that you're a woman with guts." "Six months off for good conduct, eh?" "What's so funny?" "Well, the good conduct." "This is you here." "Quit with the jokes." "Got money?" " Me?" "You know I was faithful to you, baby." "When I was in need, I couldn't go to another girl." "So the 6,000 pesos from that fatso are gone?" "What about the rest of it?" "I couldn't live on air." "But I got you a nice job..." "an honest one." "An honest one?" "You'll debut right here as a dancer." "Soon you'll move up to the best clubs, and the money will roll in." "You'll see." "For now, we've gotta lay low." "Okay." "But know that I'm not going back to jail for you." "Next time you'll put on the striped jumpsuit, 'cause I won't!" "Oh, what a thing to say..." "How do you want me to love you?" "Tell me!" "Tell me how, tell me like that." "Tell me how you like it." "How do you like my kisses?" "Tell me!" "Served up hot, like that?" "Tell me how you like it." "Come, get close, let's dance to a record to the Dixie Mambo beat." "You'll have a great time!" "Come, let's dance like this, to the swinging beat of the Dixie Mambo rhythm." "What a joy!" "Come, get close, let's dance close together to the Dixie Mambo beat." "You'll have a great time!" "Come, let's dance like this, to the swinging beat of the Dixie Mambo rhythm." "What a joy!" "How do you want me to love you?" "Tell me!" "Tell me how you like it." "You could've knocked first." "Aurora, this is Mr. Eusebio Fontana." "He's a great admirer of yours." " You're lovely, Aurora." "I'd shake hands, but..." "Want to have dinner tonight?" "I'm sorry, sir." "Tonight I'm very tired." "What a shame." "I promised him you'd go out with him tonight." "Another day." "I don't feel well." "You mind leaving?" "I need to change, please." "Forgive me." "Good night." " Bye." " Listen, please." " Give me my 100 pesos." "Wait, I promise I'll convince her." "I'm not waiting." "Hand it over or I'll call the cops." "Take it, then." "Old fool." "What are you trying to do, ruin my business?" "I told you, I'm not going back to jail." "A year and a half was plenty." "So we'll spend all our lives in this dump, making peanuts?" "No, but whatever we do, we won't take risks." "There are plenty of safe things." "You know that." "Keep it up and I'll leave you." "I'm warning you." "Then go." "It'd be a weight off my shoulders." " No woman talks to me that way!" " Get off, that hurts!" " You'll do as I say." " I'll do as I please." "Learn to obey me!" "Get up!" " Coward!" " You?" "Aren't you ashamed?" "If you weren't who you are, we'd have this out." "Did that brute hurt you badly?" "He's been hurting me since I met him." "I feel I've seen you before." "Maybe." "You should leave him." "What do you expect me to do?" "Once you leave, things will be like always." "Please..." "I'm scared." "I live near there." "Let's go." "I live here." "Good night." "I'm not sure I can get up the stairs." "My ankle really hurts." "Go up slowly." "Ow!" "What happened?" "It's like I said." "I couldn't get up the stairs." "It hurts really bad." "Okay." "I'll help you, come on." "Here." "Over there, please." "Get the rubbing alcohol." "It's that one." " Thanks." " Good night." "Don't go, please." "I can't rub it on." "You do it, please." "That savage hit me like a brute." "Please." "If you knew my life, you wouldn't think so badly of me." "I know you think I'm a low-class woman." "I never learned who my parents were." "I grew up in an orphanage." "When I was only 15, I left there and had to face the world." "I didn't know how to do anything." "Life is really tough." "Men would approach me..." "well, you know." "I tried to go it alone, but I ran into that guy." "I understand quite well." "Your case isn't unique." "Feel better?" "Yes, much better." "You're a miracle-worker." "Don't go." "I'm begging you." "Stay a little while." " Just stop." "Do you know who I am?" " Judge Alejandro Luque." " You know me?" "Who doesn't know the man the papers call The Scourge of the Underworld?" "A little whiskey?" "I need it." "Keep me company while I change clothes." "You act like it's your first time alone with a woman." "Is it?" "No, I don't think so." "But there's always something new to learn." "Excuse me." "Your honor." "Feel at home here." "Come back any time." "I'll try to be pleasing." "Good evening, Dad." "Hello, son." "Where were you?" " Playing dominoes with friends." "Wipe that "domino mark" off your lips before your mother sees you." "Geez, how'd that happen?" "Raul, you'll be married soon." "Learn to respect your future wife now." " Yes, father." " Let's go." " Good night." " See you tomorrow." "You're late, Alejandro." "I was worried." "I had a lot of work." "I had a long chat with the wife of the President of the Court of Justice." "She said you're sure to be nominated for the vacancy on the court." "What do you think?" "What's wrong, Alejandro?" "What?" "What'd you say?" "What's wrong?" "Feel sick?" "It's nothing, sorry." "Dad, tonight is the concert with my fiancée and her parents." "Tonight..." "I can't go." "I have a crime scene reenactment scheduled for that time." "Sorry, son." "He asked over a week ago and you said you were free today." "It's not right to miss it." "I said I can't go." "Work comes first." "You know me." "It's the first time in 30 years that your father has answered me like that." "Here he is." "He was drunk, lying on the ground near a dive bar in Tepito." "Martinez, I can't believe it." "A steady, reliable clerk like you vanishing for five days without warning." "I'll call your home for you." " No, your honor." "Don't do it." "I don't want my wife to see me like this." "I don't want her to see me ever again." "Come on, I'm willing to forget this and let you come back." "It'd be pointless, your honor." "When I got paid on Saturday, I'd lose my way again, and this time you'd never find me." "I've spent 30 years of my life behind an office desk, stamping thousands of papers." "Always the same thing." "30 years of looking at my wife's face." "What a horror, my God!" "Tolerating her nonsense, and taking her on walks every Sunday." "30 years of looking at your face." "30 years of rectitude at work." "Always the same thing." "For what?" "For 700 pesos a month." "700 stinkin' pesos." "And for that, I've deprived myself of all that I enjoy in life." "30 years is too long." "I wouldn't trade these five days of not caring about anything around me... for those 30 years of virtue and of fulfilling my marital duties." "Long live freedom!" "My old lady can drop dead!" "The captain and you too, just so you know." "Take him home." "It's useless to try to reason with him now." "Let's go." "What you're doing isn't right." " Forgive me, captain." "I know it isn't right but I had such a great time!" "Nobody can take away the fun I had!" "Nobody can take away the fun I had!" "...the fun I had!" "Eulalia." "Yes, it's me, Alejandro." "I want to apologize for for this morning." "Yes, I answered you harshly." "You really forgive me?" "You know what?" "I managed to postpone my meeting tonight." "Let's meet at 10:00 at the Palace of Fine Arts." "I'll drop by the house first to change clothes." "See you later." "Who is it?" "You?" "How dare you call here." "Come quick, your honor." "It's a matter of life or death for me." "I can't explain over the phone." "Yes, it's really urgent." "Tomorrow would be too late for me, your honor." "I'm begging you." "It's the first time in 30 years that your father has answered me like that." "30 years of looking at my wife's face." "Feel at home here." "Come back any time." "I'll try to be pleasing." "Your honor." "Come in." "Sensuality." "Sensuality." "I kiss you in every dream, I dream you in every kiss that you give me." "Sensuality." "Sweet sin." "I get lost if I look at you for even an instant." "Sensuality." "There's something very strong in your gaze which drags me with you." "There's something very sweet in your kisses that makes me follow you everywhere." "Sensuality." "Yearning to love." "Sweet sin." "There's something very strong in your gaze which drags me with you." "There's something very sweet in your kisses that makes me follow you everywhere." "Sensuality." "Yearning to love." "Sweet sin." "I kiss you in every dream, I dream you in every kiss that you give me." "Bobby sure can sing." "More whiskey." "Why do they have mink coats and I don't?" "What do they have that I don't?" "Will you buy me one?" "You know I'm not rich." "I live on a very modest salary." "Yeah, I know." "They pay you to put people in cages." " Poor thing." " Stop, people are looking." "So?" "Aren't I your lover?" "Lover to the world's most upright, ethical judge." "If you keep this up, I'll leave." "Don't go, darling." "You're gonna make me cry." "That's not right, Aurora." "Remember, you came with me." "Yeah, I came with you." "Do you know why?" "So that everyone would see us together." "You're well-known and soon all of Mexico will know that Alejandro Luque, the judge who wants to end vice, was with Aurora the dancer who he put away for two years." "Look me in the face!" "You don't remember, huh?" "Of course not!" "How could you remember?" "You've sentenced so many poor girls like me that you forgot my face." "Look me in the face!" " Come on, let's go." " I don't have to go." "Get off me!" "Alejandro." "I'm worried about you." "You left before I got up and you didn't return for lunch." "Why are you avoiding me?" "I'm not, Eulalia." "Don't deny it." "Something's torturing you." "Something you're scared to tell me." "Be honest with me, Alejandro." "Look me in the eyes." "You know I love you too much to see you suffer without suffering myself." "Forgive me, Eulalia." "I don't deserve your love." "Don't say that." "I've behaved like a schoolboy." "Is it a woman?" "Every husband has done what you did." "You took longer than the others, and regretted it sooner." "Right?" "As you can see, I'm not mad." "That shows you that nowhere else will you find as much love and understanding as you do in your wife." "I promise that from today on I'll only live for you." " Let's not miss the show." " I would've rather stayed home." "What's wrong?" "You said nothing when they invited you." "Oh, don't be a grump." "We should have a little fun." "We're still young." "Come on, come on." "Long live better halves!" "Long live better wholes!" "Long live Caissé the Gimp, who's going, who's going down the road." "Pale little girl, hey-hey." "Who took your colors?" "Hey-hey." "They say it was Caissé the Gimp, ho-ho with his words of love, you see." "Long live better halves!" "Long live better wholes!" "Long live Caissé the Gimp, who's going, who's going down the road." "I tried to add up the total, hey-hey." "But drew a total blank, hey-hey." "It was my boyfriend, ho-ho." "I was seducing him totally unaware." "Long live better halves!" "Long live better wholes!" "Long live Caissé the Gimp, who's going, who's going down the road." "Come on!" "Long live better halves!" "Long live better wholes!" "Long live Caissé the Gimp, who's going, who's going down the road." "I went to the mountain to hunt." "I came across an owl." "I said, "Who are you?"." ""Look here, animal." "Get it together." "You sing like a mockingbird." ""Don't mess with me," ""because I'll grab a shotgun," ""and blow you out of that tree."" "And he answered me:" ""Goodness!"" ""You sure get upset fast!", you see." "Long live better halves!" "Long live better wholes!" "Long live Caissé the Gimp, who's going, who's going down the road." "At 1:00, I was born." "At 2:00, I was baptized." "At 3:00, I got a boyfriend." "At 4:00, I got married." "At 5:00, I saw my mother-in-law." "At 6:00, she got sick." "At 7:00, she died." "At 8:00, she was buried." "At 9:00, I went into mourning." "At 10:00, I came out of it." "And at 11:00, I went to the dance." " To the dance!" "And until 12:00, I danced, as you can see." "Long live better halves!" "Long live better wholes!" "Long live Caissé the Gimp, who's going, who's going down the road." " Let's go, this place isn't for us." " But we just got here." "Raul and I want to dance for a bit." " I have a headache and I'm very tired." " In that case, don't push him." " A song or two and then let's go." " You're a gem, Mom." "I can't hold these feet back." "Ricardo, come on." "That woman dancing here is..." "It's her?" "That's why you didn't want us to come tonight, right?" "If you just told me, I would've spared you all this." "Forgive me, Eulalia." "I couldn't bring myself to say it." "I thought I'd offend you." "I'm sorry." "Good evening, Alejandro." "Won't you introduce me to your wife?" "Bye, ma'am." "Tell him I'm not here." "You have to listen to me." "What'd you come for?" "To give me another two years because of last night?" "What you did was unspeakable." "You acted like what you are." "What am I?" "Say it." "The lowest of the low, the worst." "The most depraved woman I've ever met." "And you came to tell me that?" "I can't help it." "I love you despite it all." "Let go of me." "I knew that." "For you, I'll do anything, even get a divorce." "Impressive..." "Love hit you hard, your honor." "And what would you offer me?" "Look." "A mink coat." "Jewels." "A closet full of clothes." "What I wanted." "See how fast I got it?" "Can you buy me all that?" "The mink is worth what you make in a year." "I can't give you up." "You're on my mind day and night." "In jail, you were on my mind day and night too." "And I would say:" ""If I ever manage to get revenge on him..."" "I'll be on your mind forever, and I'll never be yours again, got that?" "Now get out!" "I'm waiting for a man who can give me all I ask for." "You got that?" "Beat it!" "What are you waiting for?" "Why so late, darling?" " Who's that guy?" " It's nobody, don't worry." "Some poor devil." "What gift did you bring me?" " Here's case file 114." " Thank you." "You can go." "See you tomorrow, your honor." "Some poor devil." "I'll be on your mind forever." "The mink is worth what you make in a year." "You?" "Here for money?" " Nope, I'm here for you." "You're wasting your time." "You've lived off me since you lied to get me out of the orphanage." "You've made a mint off me." "We're square now." " If you love another guy, I swear..." " Let go of me!" ""Love"!" "What's that?" "All I care about in life is money." "And you're a bum, so you're useless to me now." "Who is it?" "Aurora, it's me." "Come in, Bobby." "Aurora." "Good evening." "Bobby, this is an old friend of mine, Mr. Jorge Harrinson." "Nice to meet you." "Tonight is Aurora's birthday dinner." "You can join us if you want." "No, he has to be somewhere then." "But I can put it off." "I accept, Mr. Capó." "It's 12:30." "You've got half an hour to get dressed." "Excuse me." "What are you planning?" "To be with you." "With me..." "Aurora." "Believe it or not, I'm in love with you." " Sure!" " We were born for each other." " Let go of me." "I was born to dance and make money." "You were born to spend it." "Go away." "I don't want to see you anymore." " Who is it?" " Alejandro." "I want to talk to you." "It's very urgent." "Hide." "I don't want him to see us together." "Come in." "What's so important?" "Talk fast, I'm in a hurry." "I want you to come with me." "You can't refuse." "You must be nuts!" "We're through for good." "You know that." "You're wrong." "We're only starting." "You're crazy." "Look." "What's that?" " A stack of cash?" " Yes, use it however." "Isn't this what you asked for?" "Where'd you get it?" "What do you care?" "Come with me and it's all yours." " All mine?" " Yes." "Really?" "I love you, Aurora!" "You're everything in my life!" "Now I understand." "Yes." "You stole it!" "Yes, I did." "But when they notice, we'll be far away, where nobody will know us." "You stole for me?" "Yes." "Nothing else matters if you love me." "Say you'll come with me." " No, Alejandro." "I know what jailtime is like." "When I got out, I swore I'd never go back, you got that?" "It's funny." "The world's most upright judge has become a thief." "A thief." "I want nothing to do with thieves or judges, you got that?" "Here, have your wife buy a new coat." "She could really use one!" "Move." "Aurora, listen to me." "Get out or I'll call the cops." "Haven't you done enough?" "Wasn't I humiliated before everyone?" "And I still got you what you desire most." "What more do you want?" "My life?" "What I want is to never see you again." "Go!" "You made your bed!" " But Aurora!" "Are you deaf?" "Go away!" "If you don't, I'll tell everyone!" "Move it!" "What did you do?" "Did you kill him?" "Aurora, we're waiting." "What's wrong?" "Can I come in?" "Sorry." "Shall we go?" "Let's go, Aurora." "CLINIC" "What a scare you gave us." "Not a word in five days." "But the danger's over now, fortunately, and they've arrested the culprits." "What culprits?" "Morning, Alejandro." "Good morning, everyone." "Thank God you survived." "Are you well enough to be questioned?" "Ask me whatever you want." "If you would." "Let's go, Esperanza." " Bye, dear." "We'll visit tomorrow." " Go with them, Mom." "You need sleep." "You didn't get a wink this whole time." " Yes, Eulalia." "Your son's right." "Come with us." "Okay, but don't leave his side for even a moment." "See you later, Alejandro." " See you later." "Have a good day." "As a precautionary measure, we arrested all recently released prisoners." "From the start, we've suspected that it's about revenge, since your wallet was left on you with 500 pesos in it." "Also, your watch broke when you fell, leaving it showing 12:45." "Set them free." "The attacker is a criminal named Rizos." "Rizos?" "But you never convicted him." "Santos." "I robbed the court's safe." "Rizos found out somehow and he robbed me of the 300,000 pesos I had stolen." "I'm a thief." "I don't believe you, Dad." "It's not in you." "You're lying or covering for someone." "See for yourself." "Open the safe." "The combination is in my notebook." "It's sad that it falls to you... my best friend to have to report my crime and arrest me." "But you must do your duty." "Sorry, gentlemen." "We have to change his dressing." "Doctor." "Mr. Luque is to remain isolated during my investigation." "Don't allow any visitors." "Understood?" "Please be very discreet." "Yes, captain." "As you wish." "I don't understand why your father did that." "I'm going to headquarters to report his confession." "This hurts more than anything." "Tomorrow the newspapers will tear him apart." "Santos, I want to ask you for something important." "Out of friendship for my father, wait to report his crime." "Do you realize what you're asking?" "Neglect my duty?" "Just for two or three weeks." "Meanwhile, since we know Rizos was the attacker, we could try to recover the money and return it to the safe and save my father from disgrace and prison." "That's a harebrained scheme." "Rizos is no fool, and he'll have the money well-hidden." "It's not possible, Raul." "I didn't want to say this but my father has saved you many times." "When your wife died, he kept you from committing suicide." "And he gave you this job." "Now it's your turn." "Repay him for all he's done for you." "Okay." "I think we're wasting our time, but let's give it a shot." "I won't report his confession until we've finished." "Thank you, Santos." "When I part from you," "I hear voices tell me from my heart:" ""Don't let her go out alone, not even to dance," ""because behind your back, she might fall in love."" "When I part from you," "I hear voices tell me from my heart:" ""Don't let her go out alone, not even for a walk." ""because behind your back, she might cheat."" "But I ignored the voices." "What did I do?" "I let her out alone to go party." "Now that ingrate has a new man." "She left me, and I was left..." " And I was left alone." " Look at him, getting drunk." "He must not suspect your father reported him." " Won't you arrest him?" " No." "We'll watch him then tail him afterward." "I want to nab him with his accomplice." "What accomplice?" "Aurora, the dancer who surely has a lot to do with this." "When I get another girlfriend," "I assure you she won't leave me." "Because she won't go out alone, not even for a walk, and if there's shopping to do, I'll send her mother." "But I ignored the voices." "What did I do?" "I let her out alone to go party." "Now that ingrate has a new man." "She left me, and I was left..." " And I was left..." " And I was left..." " And I was left..." " ...alone." " ...alone." " Alone." " Alone." "Alone." "Oh, it makes me so ashamed!" "He's going to see her, just as I hoped." "Cute scene." "Sorry to break it up." "What's this about?" "Don't worry, I'm never armed." "And what's this?" "It's for cleaning my nails." "I don't think it's illegal." "Aurora, when did you last see Judge Alejandro Luque?" "I don't remember exactly." "About two weeks ago." " It's true." "She gave him the boot." "Easy." "When was that last time?" "Could it be the night he was wounded in the back?" "I don't know when that night was." "Rizos..." "Where were you on December 3rd from 12:30 AM to 1:00 AM?" "December 3rd?" "Let me think." "Right here, at the club." "How do you remember the date so well?" "It was her birthday." "We were celebrating it with Bobby Capó and friends." "Good evening." "Hello, Bobby." "You came at the right time." "Did you all celebrate her birthday and..." "was this gentleman there?" "Yes, captain." "All the performers had dinner together." "I invited him." "And around what time was that dinner?" "Right at 1:00, half an hour after the first act." "And when did the gentleman arrive?" "Half an hour before." "He was here talking to Aurora while she changed." "Hear that, captain?" "You were wrong." "I'm innocent." "That's a lie!" "He was the attacker!" "I'll make him confess!" "Easy, Raul." "Bobby's statement keeps him safe for now." "Good night, gentlemen." "It was a real pleasure." "But I imagine you have other things to do." "You're a despicable woman." "You ruined my father's life, then covered for his attempted killer." "I won't stop until I see you both rot in prison." "Let's go, Raul." "I'll go with you." "I was really scared." "Don't worry." "You see?" "There's no problem." "Next week, if you want, we can go to Buenos Aires." "Just say the word." "No, Rizos." "Count me out." "Didn't you hear what he said?" "That he won't stop until we're both in prison." "I swear, it gave me chills." " Don't be afraid." "He's a chump." "If he bothers us again I'll deal with him." "Guess who checked out my dressing room this morning." "Who?" "The judge's son." "Bobby Capó told me so." "He must've realized there's a window." "Rizos, I don't want to see you anymore." "Go away." "Hey..." "I'm thinking you might be capable of ratting on me." "No." "I'll never do that." "You can rest easy." "Is that so?" "Remember, you're as guilty as I am." "They'd charge you for helping to cover it up." "Aurora, let's go away and enjoy the money together." "That'd be admitting our guilt." " Expecting someone?" " No." "Hide." "I don't want you to be seen with me." "This woman was looking for you." "You?" "I need to talk to you." "It's very important." "Please." "Have a seat." "What do you want?" "It hurts to ask you for this." "My husband is gravely ill." "The doctors fear for his life, but he does nothing to save himself." "Only you can save him." "Me?" "Yes." "It's you he keeps calling for in his delirium." "Go see him, I'm begging you." "Do you realize what you're doing?" "His own wife asking me for that?" "Yes, I realize." "But his life is what's most important." "If you go visit him, he'll regain his lust for life." "Only you can do it." "If it depends on me you can be sure that he'll make it, ma'am." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "But one condition." "Your son has to get me and go with me to the clinic." "Raul?" "But why?" "They might not let me inside otherwise." "It's not normal for a judge to be visited by his "lady friend"." "And if I go with your son, I've nothing to fear." "If you want, I can go with you." "No, ma'am." "I don't want to humiliate you." "I'd rather your son go." "Okay." "In half an hour, my son will come get you." "Only God knows how hard this is on me." "Have a nice day." " You too." "You're great, Aurora." "Our bad situation is suddenly looking up." "I bet I know what you're up to." "You're gonna seduce the son and declaw him, eh?" "It'll be hard, but a woman like you is capable of anything." "Even getting you to leave?" "Okay, I'll go." "But you better not pull anything on me, eh?" "I get that I'm a bother at the moment." "Come in." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "I'll go get my purse." "Don't tell me you earned all this dancing at the Savoy." " I didn't say anything." "Let's go." " Wait a minute." "My mother asked me to do something, but I won't do it." "Then why'd you come?" "To find out why you want me to visit my father with you." "Come and find out." "I'm not going anywhere until you explain what you're up to." "Do you think I'll let you humiliate my mother and me next?" "You're hurting me." "You have a girlfriend, right?" "Why do you ask?" "No reason." "I was just curious or a bit jealous." "You're very impulsive." "And very handsome." " Coming or not?" " No." "Fine." "Your mother's afraid he'll die if I don't visit him." "And if that happens, she'll think you're a bad son." "First you need to tell me why I should go." "No I don't." "Are you coming or not?" "Come with me." "Aurora." "Aurora." "Don't go." "Don't leave me." "Aurora." "Aurora." "Aurora." "Aurora." "Aurora." "I saw it, Santos." "He kissed her hands passionately." "He's crazy about her." "He's a doomed man." "He could've concealed his crime for months, maybe years." "No one would've known." "But he confessed." "No, Raul." "He's not doomed." "He's just in love with a bad woman." "You're right." "She drove him crazy." "It's all her fault." "And to top it off, she tried to flirt with me when I went to get her." "Really?" "You think she might like you?" " This is no time for jokes, Santos." " I'm serious, Raul." "You have to play along." "That would help our plans." "We might even..." "turn her against Rizos, and maybe get her to tell you where the money is." "Make love to her." "Do it and the game's ours." "No, that's the last thing I would ever do." "To that woman?" "Your mother managed to go ask her to save Alejandro." "Good morning, Alejandro." "How do you feel?" "Better." "I brought you some magazines, and some books too." "Alejandro." "Still with that same obsession." "You need to do your part." "For now, think about your health." "That's all that matters." "You'll see, when you're better and you leave here you'll see everything differently." "Cheer up." "Don't let yourself get down." "If it makes any difference, know that, despite everything you're still the owner of my heart." "Eulalia." "I have to ask you for something." "We were so happy." "We could be like that again." "Why couldn't we?" "We can forget..." " I need to ask you for something." "What is it?" "A divorce." "A divorce?" "But Alejandro!" "Have you thought this through?" "As you wish." "If you think this'll help you to be happier." "Goodbye, Alejandro." "If you ever need me you only need to call." "What clean air!" "It's so unlike the clinic." "You won't have to come as much." "Your father's better now." "You saved him, Aurora." "I still don't understand how you did it after everything." "You never loved him." "I couldn't love him." "Your father unfairly sentenced me to two years in prison." "I wanted revenge." "Forgive me." "I'm sorry for what I did." "You're sorry?" "Yes, now I realize how much your father suffered." "Now?" " Now that I know what love is." " I can't believe you." "You've always pretended." "It's true." "Before, all I did was pretend and think of myself." "But now it's different." "You're finally able to feel real affection?" " It's more than that." " Stop, I know what you're up to." "I'll prove it however you want." "Really?" "Raul." "Raul, my son." "Mom!" "What happened, doctor?" " A heart attack." "Son." "I know that I'm dying." "Don't say that." "Yes, it's better this way." "I give thanks to God because He will spare me great suffering." "I only want to ask you for two things." "Help your father as much as you can." "Don't ever abandon him." "You're the only true affection that he has in life." "Don't ask him to account for his actions." "We mustn't judge others." "I swear I'll do it." "And I want you to marry Esperanza." "Try to make her very happy." "She adores you." "She's the only woman who can make you happy." "Raul." "Promise you will?" "Promise, son?" "I want to hear you say it." "Mom, I have to confess to you..." "Mom!" "The burial was carried out as you wished." "Eulalia was a saint." "Anyone who met her couldn't help but love her." "Her death is my fault." "Don't say that, Dad." "You know she had a bad heart." " She died unaware of the robbery." " Thank you, Santos." "But I must pay for my crime." "Tomorrow they'll discharge you." "I'll come at noon to accompany you to police headquarters." "See you tomorrow." "Bye, Dad." "Bye, son." "Forgive me for all the wrong I did to your mother." "I'm nobody to judge." "She forgave you moments before dying." "This just came for you, sir." "They said it was urgent." " Who brought it?" " He didn't give his name." "Okay, thank you." "Don't trust Aurora." "She swears she loves you, but she plans to marry another man." "Who?" "The person who'll hurt you most." "He's a friend." "It had to happen." "Santos is taking him tomorrow." "In his state, he won't make it out of prison alive." "What will you do?" "Start working... leave law school and give you up." "Why me?" "I can't marry you while my father is in jail." "You're the woman he loves." "It'd be a betrayal." "But I don't want to give you up." "Santos still hasn't reported my father's confession." "If we could return the money to the safe tonight we'd keep him from going to jail." "He'd return to his post as a judge, and we would confess our love to him, and that you misled him to save his life." "He'll have to see his mistake." "But it's too late now." "I can't come up with 300,000 pesos." "What if I can?" "You?" "How?" "Trust me." "Meet me here tonight." "I'll do whatever it takes for our happiness." "I trust you." "You know how important this is for us." " I got this, I got this." " A five's coming." " There it is!" " I told you!" " Damn, he's lucky." " Bet again?" " Double, double." " Okay." " Double for me." "Roll." "Five, damn it!" "Give me the bones." " What brings you here?" " Rizos..." "My plan worked." "I stalled the cops by pretending to love the judge's son." "Pretending, eh?" "Didn't you say it was serious?" "I said it to keep you away, so we wouldn't be seen together." "You're so macho, you might mess it all up." "Go on." "The judge confessed." "The cops will be after the money, and the first thing they'll do is lock us up while they investigate." "It won't be that easy." "Rizos..." "Come to my dressing room tonight, and bring the money." "We'll leave Mexico today." "Seriously?" "You'll come with me and ditch that dandy?" "Aurora has her whims, but she always returns to Rizos' arms." "I figured as much." "I'll drop by there after everyone's gone." "Bye, baby." "Bye, my love." "If you... like to dance the samba... go up the hill to enjoy the sights." "Check out the girls!" "They sure can shake it!" "The tambourine..." "beating a syncopated rhythm." "If you... like to dance the samba... go up the hill to enjoy the sights." "Check out the girls!" "They sure can shake it!" "The tambourine..." "beating a syncopated rhythm." "If you're already tired... you can rest... because the samba only ends when the sun sets." "A Cuban plays the rhumba, the Brazilian grabs the salt thinking it was witchcraft, thinking it was witchcraft." "A Cuban plays the rhumba, the Brazilian grabs the salt thinking it was witchcraft, thinking it was witchcraft." "Ah-ha, the Latinera." "Ah-ha-ha, the Latinera." "Ah-ha, the Latinera."

"Help me, father... help me, Shango!" "As the Brazilians say:" " Tell me!" "Help me, father... help me, Shango!" "Shango, the King of Fire." "Help me, father, help me Shango." "You've been getting ready for over 30 minutes." "Do you know I started to worry you were playing me?" "I even sent the judge an unsigned letter, but I knew you'd come back." "No woman ever betrays Rizos." "Remember that." "We're made for each other, Aurora." "Give me the money." "You're a suspect, so they might search you." "It's better if I have it, don't you think?" "It's safe with me." "Don't worry." "You don't trust me?" "Get out!" "It's your funeral." " Okay, okay." "Take it, then." "Lose it and it's your life." "Look, let's cross the border in a friend's car." "I like you more each day, Aurora." " Alejandro!" " Don't move!" "You won't trick another man." "Don't shoot, Alejandro!" "That letter didn't lie." "You were this bastard's accomplice." "You told him I had the money on me." "Now I see it all clearly." "I risked everything for you!" "You're gonna pay!" "No, Alejandro." "I swear I'm innocent." "I didn't tell him anything." " You're not leaving!" "Stop!" " Let go of me!" "Aurora!" "Open it!" "No!" "No!" "No, Alejandro!" "I swear I'm innocent!" "Don't hurt me!" "Don't kill me!" "Don't kill me!" "Alejandro, I'm begging you." "I can't kill you." "I can't." "You're everything in my life." "I'll do whatever you want, but let's leave." "You killed Rizos." "The cops will be after you." "Let's go!" "Come on." " Wait here, I'll be right back." " I'll go with you." "No, the maids might see us." "I swear I'll be right back." " Did you bring the money?" " Yes, but a horrible thing happened." "Your father came to my dressing room and killed Rizos." " What?" "!" "Where's my father?" "Don't you realize?" "Your father won't be able to avoid prison." "He won't be in the way of our happiness any longer." "Let's leave, out the back door." " I'm finding my father." " No, Raul." "If you really love me..." "come with me." "Look." "It's almost all the money, for you and me." "The money that was stolen from my father." "Listen closely." "I don't love you and I never have." "You've been the cause of all our misfortune." "If I pretended to love you and led you to think we'd marry, it was to keep you with my father, and to get you to turn on Rizos and recover that money." "I love another woman who's respectable and deserves all my love." "You're just trash." "Maybe I'm trash, but you're the son of a thieving murderer and a pathetic woman who gave her husband away!" "Raul!" "You?" "You coward!" "Why did you hit her?" "She offended my mother's memory." "He's lying!" "He hit me for refusing to leave with him!" "He wanted to report you." "He made me give him the money Rizos stole from you." "He hates you because he envies you!" "Don't listen to her." "She's capable of anything." "Raul!" "Raul!" "Answer me!" "Answer me, Raul!" "You tried to kill your own son!" "He did everything he could to save you." "I hate you." "I hate you!" "You've always disgusted me!" "You'll die in jail!" "Police?" "Judge Alejandro Luque just killed a man." "Yes, at 128 Aristotle Street." "Come quick, please!" "Hurry!" "No, Alejandro, no!"
