"El Aragonés with a time lapse of two minutes twenty two seconds, three fifths for the two thousand meters, trainer José María Oji and ridden to victory by Lineo Leguizamo." "At this moment, he is being congratulated and greeted, alongside the entire presidential committee, by the President ofthe" "Republic, Lieutenant Juan Domingo Perón." "Come on honey, I'm tired." "You're always tired." "You're too fond of bed." "I'm going to see Santana." "I'll be right back." "Go for Brillosa on 5th," "La Pellegrina behind." "If he wins, you're set." " What were the winning numbers?" " 38, I believe." "Yesterday it was 86." "What's up with number 25?" "Don't play it again." "Watch your bucks." "I saw your General." "She wasn't there." "Ok, Kiddo." "If you keep guarding him like that, he'll be moved to the Treasury..." "I said OK If you can do better," "I'll talk to the police." "They can hire you." "Pass." "Now, ifit were Sinatra..." "I'm going to talk to Nelly." "It would be an honor to guard the General." "Yes, I'm sure..." "I'm leaving." "See you tomorrow at the bureau." " So long, my friend." " See you." "Shall we go?" "Lfl hadn't come to get you, I'd still be waiting." "I told you already." "I was discussing work with Santana." "Well, What do you want to do then?" "Nothing, take me home." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Here." "The pervert paid, he's grateful forthe cat." "He praised your professionalism..." "Is that it?" "Taking a cat from one poof and giving it to another, what did you expect?" "That shitty cat scratched me all over, this sucks." "Anything else?" "Yes, Nelly got us a special security." " If we have to guard the General, I pass." " Don't be a trouble maker." "It's something else." "The American actress Ivonne de Carlo is arriving and the police needs more civil forces..." "Ivonne de Carlo, who's she?" " Look." " Oh, yes, yes..." "A Union worker also called for surveillance." "I had to turn it down." "Says they want to kidnap his son, a dwarf called Juan Domingo." "You have to be a bastard to call a kid Juan Domingo." "It's either Juan Domingo or Eva." "Depending on the sex, of course." "I didn't hear that." " Di Sarli?" " No." "Don't tell me, he's unmistakable." "Don't be stubborn, it's the Fresedo Orchestra." " I'll bet you five it's Di Sarli." " If you want to lose..." "Look, seems like they're selling Mouriño to Boca." "How are you Kiddo?" "Corvalán, for you it's Corvalan." " How'd it go?" " Fine, fine." "Make me some coffee." "But without the poison, not like your mother used to make." "After picking up the glass, get yourself another job." "Ok Totó?" "My name is Sergio." "Leave that now and go and buy some more coffee." "Each time I see him, I remember his crazy mother, poor kid." "We've just heard "Niebla del Riachuelo"by Cobián  Cadícamo, interpreted by Osvaldo Fresedo's orchestra." " OK, I owe you five." " Don't worry, it's all written down." "Listen." "That pending matter with the man we had to follow, remember?" "The girl who's married to Otero, the mechanic." "The bastard pays to see the face of the guy having sex with his wife." "Hello?" "Hello?" "I will work night and day..." "happy the shirtless..." "I am with you to be a rainbow of love..." "I will be there night and day working because that ishow committed I am to this legion of Argentines who is writing a brilliant page in this country's history, I want my people to know that I am ready..." "How are you dad?" "Pretty good, considering." "And you?" "I can't complain." "And your girlfriend?" "I told you, she's a friend." " What was her name?" " Perla." "Perla, what does she do?" "She teaches the piano." "Lives around the corner." " Any news?" " Looks like they're selling Mouriño... to Boca." "And Lobo?" "How is he?" "Yesterday I found some lumps." "I have to have him checked, I'm worried." "So?" "It seems a little muffled." "The FA seems a little low." "Good ear Kiddo." "You would have done well." " It's not my thing." " And what is ultimately?" "You know, what I do." "Take it to Chicho." "Tell him to fine tune it." "I'll pay him later." "Oh yeah?" "What with?" "You'd be surprised at what they still offer me." "Is there something I need to know?" " Don't worry." "I'm retired." " Keep it up." "No need to get upset." "Corvalán..." "What is it?" "Someone needs to talk to you." "It's confidential." "Whatever it is, I don't work at home." "Go to my office, ifl'm not there, my partner will see you." "Here's the address." "I have the address already, and you have my phone number." "Can we talk?" "What do you want to talk about?" "I've been told you're good, is it true?" "That depends." "Once we followed a man for six months and the guy had been dead forfive years." "I can't be more honest." "Sit down, I'm listening." "I need you to follow a man." "I want to know what he does, where he goes, I want photos and addresses." "The usual." "I'm willing to pay 2000 pesos for the job." "If you accept." "You still haven't told me who do I have to follow." "Here's his information." "And half, in advance." "His name is Nicolás Perturato." "He was one ofthe guys with you at the track." " You have a good eye." " It's my job." "Looks like your friend is in a rush." "He's not my friend." "I have to go." "I want you to start as soon as possible." "A chauffeur-driven Buick, Kiddo, expensive clothes, jewels." "They must have good connections, we have to make a good impression." "We may move up to the top league..." "You let yourself be easily impressed." "We can't waste an opportunity." "Jimmy three fingers started off by buying Al Capone rubbers and ended up making ten grand for wiping out Lou Sorvino." "Yes but this isn't Chicago." "There are opportunities everywhere." "You gotta think bucks." " I have two jewels, Kiddo." " Let's see..." "A billiard cue just like the one Navarra used at Luna Park..." " The other?" " A Colt 38." "Filed numbering." " How much for the cue?" " Three fifty." " No, it's too much." " Three hundred for you." " I'll tell you later." " See you." "You know what?" "Tomorrow is Perla's birthday and I can't think where to take her." "Do you have any idea?" "It's a delicate matter." "Let me think about it." " See you." " So long." " What happened with the photos I asked for?" " I already got them." " And where are they?" " I forgot to give them to you." "Here they are." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." "You know what?" "I bumped into Haydee from the haberdashery." "She's taken charge ofthe Council and promised to care for the neighborhood dogs." "And where do we come in?" "She needs a hand." "Seems like there's a pervert on the loose." "A what?" "A rapist." "He seems to like dogs." "A neighbortook her dog to the vet's because it got aggressive and she thought it odd." "And the vet told her that it was normal in cases like this." "I don't know, maybe it bit somebody..." "Are you telling me that there's a pervert who's into dogs?" "Seems like it." "First the poof's cat, now a dog rapist, you're joking, aren't you?" "I suppose you said no." "It's a delicate matter, but I don't know, you have a dog." "I've been thinking about what you said and I really have no idea." "What are you talking about?" "Who's birthday is it today?" "Perla's of course." "Just one thing, you've got some money, don't take her to that dump in Lujan." "That was my mother's favorite place." "I take that back." "That one, with the blue eyes." "You never say a word, but your quite the fiend." "Turn the light off, it'll attract bugs." "You never loved anybody." "I love you, Lobo and Banfield." "In that order?" "Depends on the day." "I'm dressing as a Hawaiian next year at the Parade." "I can be Carnival Queen again." "You came in second." "Go to sleep." "You're a bore, Kiddo." "Tell me something..." "Some of your students could be your lovers, right?" "You don't say." "The redhead, the one with the motorbike" "He's seventeen, he's a kid." "And the Japanese?" "He's no kid." "His name is Hugo and he's not Japanese." "To me he's Japanese." "Are you being serious?" "I wasn't sure whether to wait, somebody could have been with you." "Don't worry, I account to no one." "I didn't think you'd be so late getting home." "Following Perturato is not easy." "He moves around so much." "That's why I need you." "Do you have something for me?" "The report is incomplete." "Plus, I don't have it here." "I see." "So, if you agree, my driver can pick up whatever you have" " tomorrow by your office." " Fine with me." "Now, if you told me what we were looking for, it could be easier." "I never said it would be easy." "Good night." "There are a few photos that still need development." "Very well." "That's all." "I'll call you ifthere's any news." "With your permission." "Isn't it odd?" "The chauffeur checks her photos." "Maybe she asked him to." "Tell me something, that girlfriend of yours, from the police, Nelly..." "Could she do me a favor?" "What do you need?" "Info on the black De Soto." "Plate number YS170." "It's from Santa Fe." "Give Nelly two days and she'll find out how many miles it has." "Ready, I've got them." "You're joking?" "There's none left." "Now you got me going." "Do you know how Al Capone started?" "He smuggled the first fifty bottles ofwhisky in a coffin at his mother's funeral." "Was the deceased inside?" "No, the mother died when he was seven." "But who was going to open the coffin?" "It was all a decoy, get it?" "Finish the game, we're closing." "Do you know if Mouriño got sold?" "Mouriño is none ofmy business." "Three whiskies each, eighteen pesos." "Here, it's my round." "Give us two more." "Whiskies are drunk in twos." " The rest you can place on 25, to win." " Fine." "You're on the ball, Santana." "You have to read the game, be patient, measure the shot." "As in life, you follow me?" "Yes I get it." "Be alert." "There's always a sign that tells you when it's time to hit." "You know what?" "Something tells me that things are going to change course." "And how does one know?" "Good question." "Some say it's a word, a gesture, a look." "Others say it's something internal that sounds within." "One sign and everything changes." "No." "One changes and does what one never dare do before." "That's what they say." "Mr. Otero." "One moment..." "Madam..." "Someone's here." "Good day." "Do you need anything?" "Mr. Otero." "My husband's not here." "Can I help?" "It's about a wheel." "Coco, he wants the boss." "He's on a tow." "May be back in an hour or so." "What is it about?" "Chief, why don't you tell me what you want?" "The photos aren't great, but there's something there." "It's what's not in them that keeps you awake." "That's the nightmare." "Imagining he's with your woman, kissing, touching and undressing her... wanting to know if she screams or cries when she comes" "or if she takes it from behind." "That fucks up your life." "Takes the lead over five and six as they cross the line." "Number 4 wins..." "It paid off..." "The wind is going to change soon." "There's credit on the fifth, pays ninety, it'll pay something." " Are you betting?" " I don't know, we'll see." " Did you see the lotto numbers?" " Don't tell me it was25?" "I wish, it was35, the birdie, again..." "Before Ivonne de Carlo there's another matter." "The cripple swindled a Czech over some land." "He took over 1000 pesos." "What do you say, shall we take it?" "What did you say her name was?" "I didn't." "Sbodova, she's called Sbodova." "Usual terms, fees and expenses." "Plus the commission." "It's sacred." "No problem." "The daughter, Mirna, is paying." "The guy lives in an area called La Moq," "We can pay him a visit tonight." "Fine by me." "Malas Artes is running the 7th." "Maybe we can recoup." "No offense." "You know, don't you?" "Yes, there's nothing to hide." "Perla has another man." "A redhead, rides a motorbike." "One of those tough guys." "I have his address, his affiliation." "You would have done the same..." "I don't know." "I'm not so sure." "That's the way it is, Kiddo." "What's the matter?" "A piece of advice." "Get what you're owed and put an end to the matter..." "Weren't we supposed to play in the top league?" "Yes, but it got very ugly." "The world's divided in two and we're the good guys, remember?" "BRUTAL MURDER, MAFIA INVOLVED" "Just two minutes." "I had to make up a story to be able to come." " You want the story?" " What do you mean?" "You hire me to follow a guy and a few days later, he turns up dead." "What's this all about?" "I'm not sure now, but his death had nothing to do with the work you did." "Tell me everything you know." "Have you ever been shot?" "And you, have you shot anyone?" "What are you proposing?" "I want to know whether you can protect me should the time come." "Why don't you tell me what's going on?" "The only thing I can say is that my life's in danger and I can't trust anyone." "Wait." "I need the truth." "I'll call you." "Shouldn't you be at the funeral?" " Who died?" " Your friend Perturato." "I don't know him." "Strange." "I saw them harassing you the other day and you gave them an envelope with dough." "Who are they?" "Sometimes, it's best not to know, Kiddo." "Now it's betterto know." "When you wanted me to find out who wanted you out ofthe business," " you didn't think the same." " How many times must I hear it?" "This once." "He was the Norwegian's right hand man." "The Norwegian?" "The guy who runs the gambling and prostitution." "He's the big shot with influence in higher circles." "He has several brothels." "Careful, kiddo, they're rough." "Are we even?" "I thought you wouldn't come." "Better late than never." "Did you go by the office?" "No." "I couldn't." "There were a few calls." "The first, from Perla." "She needs to talk to you, call her." "I guess she's sorry..." "Yeah, right..." "The second, Otero the mechanic." "Asked ifthere was any news." "I'm on the case." "Lastly, Nelly, about the DeSoto." "Says it's registered to a Dino Capuano, from Rosario." "Does the name ring a bell?" "Dino Capuano?" "No." "I have to ask Nelly a favor." "Tell her to find out everything she can about this number." " The brunette" " Yes." "What was the deal?" "At this point, my head is full of questions, Santana." "Any answers?" "In an investigation, when things seem certain, they're dodgy." "And when they're dodgy, they're dodgy." "Is that the cripple?" " Remember the plan." " You scare him and I'll take him" " for what he's got." " Try to avoid violence." "Let me talk..." "We get the money and run, OK?" " OK" " Come on." "Detective Santana." "What are you looking at, phony?" "We know who you are." "The Czech woman reported you." "You stole 1000 pesos with this tale about the land." " Don't fool with me." " What are you talking about?" " That you're a fraud." " I'm a fraud?" "I want to do good, be useful in this shitty life." "Don't fuck with me, bring the dough." "The land is in a swamp." "It's drying up." "It's a matter oftime." "You don't understand." "If the upper class cheat on the people, where will we be then?" "What are you talking about?" "Don't you get it?" "I do what the General says but doesn't do." "If Evita weren't sick, she'd do it." "Did you mention the General?" "I believed in him too." "If you look forthe money, it's not there anymore." "I gave it in church, forthe poor." "You wash your mouth before mentioning the General." "I thought we said no violence?" "Son of a bitch, talking like that." "When he's just given the Union a 28%..." "And when is it our turn?" "Why don't you call the Labor Minister?" "You call him, you're with the regime?" "OK." "You keep it up and one of these days, you'll be reported to the party and even I won't be able to save you." "Nobody saves anyone." "Here, stop here." "Excuse me." "Can you tell me what we're doing here?" "Do me a favor." "Lend me 50 pesos." "I'll explain later." "I barely have 20." "Can I borrow them?" "Hello Kiddo." "Can I call you that?" "Nice to meet you." "This is Mirna Sbodova." " From the race track." " From the cloakroom." "I want to thank you." "Arthur told me you're waving the commission." "If he says so." " Shall I make you something to eat?" " No." "He must be tired." "Some other time..." " When you like." " Thank you." " Take care." " You too." "Honey, are you there?" "Want to come for dinner?" "I'm making beef stew..." "Better." "Much better." "Yes, much better." " I'm costing you, kiddo." " It's nothing, don't worry." "Recently they spoke to me of a Remington, five number combination." "Can you imagine that?" "Like playing a Stradivarius." "Let me remind you that the last experience wasn't too good." "If you had the courage." " It's not about that." " What then?" "Or would you rather snitch all your life?" "I'm not going that way again." "It's getting late." "Nelly's been making inquiries." "Shall I tell you?" "Please do." "Phone: 544894." "Address:" "Federico Lacroze 1612." "Capital." "Property of Thomas Albrechtsen." "Metal industry." "Alias the Norwegian." "Follow me?" "This man's been married 15 years." "To Gloria Ravel." "Age 30." "Only child." "The Norwegian was partner to a Sicilian, Vittorio Capuano in business associated with kidnapping and extortion in Rosario." "One day, the partnership went rotten and Capuano's tugs disappeared one by one." "In the end, it seems the Sicilian, his wife and family vanished..." "That's what they thought." "In fact, someone survived the massacre." "Dino Capuano, the youngest son." "That was ten years ago." "After that, the Norwegian came here, an honorable businessman, pays his taxes, makes donations to the Church." "And here's the best part:" "Every so often, a body appears, strangled with wire." "That's his mark." "Capuano's son bought Perturato." "The Norwegian found out, that's why he was wiped." "Forget that woman." "She has a bad tune." "Agency..." "Yes, I'll put you through..." "Laura, as usual, is sad and gloomy." "I thought a love like mine would triumph," "I've waited so patiently..." "It's useless." "We've been married for a year." "Marriage is not for one year, two or three, it's for all your life." "Believe me, I'm old..." "I know who killed Perturato." "We all knowthat." "Tomas Albrechtsen, the Norwegian, killed him." "Alias, your housband." "I dislike playing the fool." " It wasn't deliberate." " What was it then?" "You have me follow Perturato." "I hand you a report." "2 days later, he's dead, wrapped up in barbed wire." "There are things you don't know." "I'll tell you what I know." "You can fill in the gaps." "10 years ago, your husband killed the Capuano family." "One of them escaped." "It seems he came back to settle the score but he needed someone to tell him the Norwegian's movements." "That's where Perturato fits in." "He must have made a slip and your husband became suspicious." "That's where I come in." "Your husband got you to hire me." "He doesn't need to hire anyone to have one ofhis men followed." "But you do." "You did your job very well." "You found the snitch and handed it to him on a platter." "Why don't you make an effort and try to be honest for once." "It was him or me." "Thomas was waiting for Capuano's revenge for years." "He felt someone would betray him." "He suspected everyone." "Including me." "I was afraid." "Ifl didn't find the traitor," "I was afraid he'd kill me." "You?" "Why?" "Because he knows I hate him." "My mother died when I was 15, after a long illness and my family was full of debts." "That's when Tomas appeared." "My father thought it was the best." "Thomas was a rich man, I'd be well looked after." "But the Norwegian longed for a son and I never gave him one." "That's why he despises me." "Now I'm in the middle ofthis revenge." "Alone." "No one cares about me." "Please don't abandon me." "Stay with me." "Go home and wait for me there." "There's something I still have to do." "I'll call you." "I give you my word." "Yes, don't tell me, it got late again." "Yes, I'm sorry." "I came to tell you not to count on me." "I've got to go." "Why?" "What happened?" "The situation is worse than we thought." "They left here alone." "I promised I wouldn't abandon her, and I wanted you to know." "You're not seeing clearly." "You're confusing matters." "Maybe, but I've made my decision." "Then, you're making the wrong decision." "This is an important job." "You're not being professional." "I found Otero's report at the office and I'm still trying" " to understand why you lied to me." " It's all just gossip, Santana." "Just another cuckold, 30 idiots chasing a whore." "Don't you see?" "Yes..." "I see..." "I see these are jobs that feed us." "And, if you don't agree," "It's the end of the road for us." "No hard feelings." "Whatever you say." "I went to pick up the photos from the optician's." "There are only 15." " Want to see them?" " Not now Toto." "Sergio." "A certain Gloria called." "She said not to look for her," "There was trouble at F. Lacroze and she had to move somewhere safe." "Santana looked worried." "He was looking for you." " Where is he?" " At the bridge." "Has she died?" "No, that's why we're here." "To pray for her quick recovery." "Poorwoman." "She weighs 40 kilos and they won't let her die in peace." "I heard on the radio they killed a couple ofthe Norwegian's bodyguards" " They machine gunned them down." " There were 4 of them." "You were there?" "You're mad." "You've got the hots for a woman who made you believe you could win the race." "I thought about what you said before." "You're right." "You handle this job better than me." "I'm dead weight for you." "Don't talk nonsense, we're partners." " It was an outburst." " You don't need me, I can see that" "You're going to leave now Sinatra's coming?" " It's confirmed." " Not even ifthe Pope comes." "The agency is your world, Santana, not mine." "Think it over." "Don't make any brash decisions." "I need to ask a favor." "Ifl need to hide away for a while..." "I'm concerned about Lobo." "Please drop by to feed him." "You can count on that." "You can't come through." "You can't come through." " Do you know ifthere was a woman?" " No, I don't." "Back again, Kiddo." "Has anything happened?" "Can I help you?" "I don't think so, dad." " Do they treat you well here?" " Like a king." "I owe you that." "...The Department of Information." "The doctors treating The First Lady informed us this evening that, at 1900 hours that the state of her health is serious having lost consciousness..." " I didn't know where to go." "So I came here." " They were here." "They're looking for us." "I'm sorry." "No one forced me to do anything." "We can't stay here." "They'll be back." "I'm sure ofit." "Let's go." "Where are we going?" "I know a place where we can spend the night." "And then?" "I don't know." "If you have any ideas, tell me." "Thomas had a lot ofmoney stacked away." "Enough to disappear." " Isn't it enough to be alive?" " No." "It's not enough." "You can have the bed." "It's pretty comfortable." "I'll sleep on the sofa." "Do you come here often?" "Not anymore." "I don't know a thing about you." "Were you married?" "You should eat something." "We're both afraid ofmaking a mistake." "The difference is I'm prepared to take a risk." " Why should I take a risk?" " For a fortune, in cash." "That's what the Norwegian keeps in the safe at Federico Lacroze." "All we need is someone to open it." "That's not so easy." "Lfwe don't take it the police will when they go to search the house." "Half of it could be yours." "To what do I owe so much generosity?" "What do you think?" "Corvalán!" "Quick, get in!" " I owe you one." " Don't worry, it's all written down." "Are you ok?" "I heard about the massacre in the depot." "They killed the Norwegian." "They killed them all." "They went to my place too." "I know, I'm sorry about Lobo." " How did you find me?" " I know your habits." "Thank you, Sergio." "Here." "Tejedor 311." "You can stay for a few days." "Safer than this..." " Alcatraz." " I don't want to get you involved." "Could you lend me the car?" "The car's yours." "I'll disappear for a while, let things cool down." "Call me in a few days, I'll tell you how it's going." " Go on, don't waste time." " Give me a cigarette." " I've only got one left." " Thanks." "It's our big chance." "Tomorrow we could be far away from here and forget all this." "I have the key, but not the combination." "Don't even think about it." "Turn around." "Don't make any strange movements." "With your left hand, pull out your gun, and put it on the floor." "Easy, slowly." "Put it down." "Kick it over here." "Put it all in the bag." "It's incredible, she always gets someone to do the dirty work." "How much did she offer?" "Half?" "When was it, before or after?" "She's good." "Got to give herthat." " Did she tell you?" " She didn't have to." "This is the end of the line." "This is where we all get off." "So this is it." "You're not so dumb after all." "Throw overthe bag." "Bye Corvalán." "It's my duty to inform the people of the Republic that at 8.25 pm," "Eva Peron, died." "The body of Mrs. Eva Peron..." "So long my friend."
