"Death of a Hoodlum" "Gregory Serrano Fine Jewelery" " We'll be closing up in 10 minutes" " Yes sir" "Good afternoon" "Tell me sir, how may I help you?" "I want an engagement ring, the finest you have, the cost is not important" "Yes sir I think I'll be able to help you, we have a great selection, many exclusive designs" "Don't try anything or I'll shoot" "Idiot" "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" "Marcos, don't shoot!" "Let's get out of here Marcos, hurry!" "So how did it go?" "Everything was going well and then some hero showed up and tried to disarm Samano," "I had to lay him out" "I think we had a good haul this time, there's a good bit of dough here, a nice morsel" "Killing people is never good, Martin's going to have a fit" "I had no choice but to kill him, I couldn't care less what he thinks" "He sits at his desk all day while the rest of us have to go out and risk our necks," "I'm sick of it" "Marcos, don't forget, we're gonna sell this stuff tomorrow night," "Martin will bring the fence" "I have a good memory" "So let's see what you do, wouldn't want you taking off with the goods, right" "What a joker" "Marcos is a mean bastard, I don't trust him" "I don't understand why Martin let him take care of the jewels" "Martin knows what he's doing, and if he wants Marcos to hold them until they're sold then that's his thing" "Yeah, but sometimes I think even Martin is afraid of him, just one of those feelings, you know?" "Go on" "It's finally you Bojan, I've been waiting for your call all night" "Yes, I have them, of course" "They're a marvel" "I have very little time and I need to close the deal as soon as possible" "I'll be waiting here in an hour" "What?" "Hey listen" "Fine, fine, in a month" "No, I'll get in touch with you." "I'll call you" "Yes, understood." "The same number as before" "A month, goddamnit" "The old goat really screwed me over" " Who is it?" " Marcos, it's me, Isabel" "Forgive me Marcos but I needed to see you" "I told you not to come" "Not today Isabel, I warned you" "Why don't you want to see me, why?" "Answer me please." "You've gotten tired of me, right?" "You're going on a trip?" "Yes, I'm going" " And you're not taking me with you?" " Of course not" " Will we see each other again?" " Don't lose hope, you never know" "Marcos, by everything you love, I beg you, take me with you, don't leave me please!" "I'm sick of you, sick of your cheap perfume, of your cheap theatrics, of your lack of class." "I'm tired of your voice and I don't want to see you again, never again" "You'll pay for this, I swear you'll pay for this!" "I know a lot of things about you and I'll make you regret this you son of a bitch!" "Mother, this slut, this piece of trash has insulted you, she's dared to sully your blessed name" "I did wrong Marcos, forgive me" "Don't hit me!" "Please Marcos, I beg you!" "The girl's in a bad state but it looks like she'll pull through" "That's all I've been able to find out" "Martin will be waiting for us tonight at Warner's house" "The young woman who was found in a coma in an apartment on the outskirts has still not recovered consciousness and is in critical state" "A policeman spokesman confirms that this occurrence could be related to the robbery of the Gregory jewelery store" "Stay calm Mother, your son has a brain" "We have to find him no matter what, he has to pay for this" "It won't be easy, he can hide well" "And besides, if we find him he'll fight us, the guy has guts" "I warned you Martin," "I told you he was a bad seed and that he'd double cross us" "We'll find him" "I got some problems and I need to hide out for a while" "You can't stay here, my husband" "I have to hide out and this filthy town is the ideal place" "It's almost impossible that someone will come looking for me here" "Marcos, I'm begging you, you've already caused me enough harm" "You'll never know what I've suffered" "Everyone, everyone turned their backs on me" "You don't know how I had to struggle to survive, to raise our son" "I found Raphael, he married me without caring about anything and now you..." "I don't want to hurt you Irene and much less my son" "If you don't mind I'll rest here tonight" "I'll leave tomorrow" "Come, I'll take you to your room" "Marcos, what's wrong?" "The nightmare, the recurring nightmare" "I dream, even when I'm awake, they make me relive the memories, you know that" "I thought about it, I think I can help you" "I know a family that's looking for a servant, they live far off in an isolated spot and they barely see anybody" "Stupendous" "It could be a good hideout I think" "I'll talk to them as soon as possible and in exchange I'll ask you not to come back," "not to come around here anymore" "I have to go to the telephone to let them know." "I'll be right back" "Irene, where can I hide my car?" "Halfway up the road there's a ruined house, maybe there" "Don't be afraid," "I'll leave as soon as I can and you won't hear from me again" "We can go, they're expecting us" "The sergeant was right," "Marcos lived here with someone called Irene" "They hung around for a few months but weren't here long" "So the broad was called Irene and they had a kid" " This will interest Martin" " But this was over five years ago" "What?" "He doesn't look like a field worker" "I've been working in Switzerland for several years and though things went well at first it didn't last" "Then they started firing foreigners," "I was one of them, I had to come back" "I understand that you left to make money so you could come back and live problem free," "I don't know, to set up a business or something like that" "That's what I would have liked, but I wasn't so lucky" "Your explanations don't convince me, and another thing:" "I'm distrustful by nature and don't like strangers in my home" "You don't have references or anything to accredit you" "Please Ricardo, Irene brought him, surely you don't think" "And what assurances can she give you?" "This man showed up at the tavern asking for work" "Irene doesn't know who this man is either or where he's come from isn't that right?" "Sir, don't worry," "I'm an honorable man that needs to work, but I'll go, I'll find another place" "Ricardo, we can't continue alone, we need someone to help us" "Elena and I can't do everything and I'm convinced that... that Marcos is a good man" " He should stay" " Alright, this time I'll give in" "I hope you're not wrong" "Thank you maam" "Follow me" "This will be your bedroom" "Get comfortable, then go to the kitchen, I'll make you something to eat" "Thank you very much miss" "Ricardo, dinner" " And Elena, where is she?" " Seeing to the new servant" "I don't like that man and I like it less that you leave him alone with my daughter" "He just got here and you're already starting to hate him?" "I remind you dear wife that it's still I who rules this house and you've given that man work against my will" "But Ricardo, try to understand, we can't remain without servants" "We spoke of bringing a couple" "Elena is very young and I don't like having a single man around" "A couple?" "I've been looking for one for months but no one's coming, we can't wait any longer." "Elena and I can't do everything." "We have to cut hay, weed the garden, there are many jobs to do on the arm and hard ones," " we need a man!" " Enough" "You're right, we need a man here" "Sit down" "Marcos, you can retire for the night," " I'll explain your obligations tomorrow" " Maam, wait, are there more servants in the house?" "No there aren't," "I had told you there was much work to be done and you accepted it" "Yes maam, I accepted" "Mother, father is calling you" " Goodnight Marcos" " Goodnight maam" " See you tomorrow Father" " Goodbye, until tomorrow" " Goodnight Mother" " Goodnight" "I can't, I can't, you know I can't!" "I'm a wretch of a man, a sorry impotent..." "You called Father?" "Yes, bring me the keys to the gun case" "It's been a long time since I cleaned the rifles," "I want to check them" "And please call the servant." "I want to speak with him, now" "Alright Father, I'll call him" " Sir?" " Yes Marcos, please, come closer" "I want you to clean those trophies, as you can see they're very dirty" " You'll find everything you need there" " Very well sir" "Clean them, right this moment" "A pretty trophy, isn't it?" "I won it in a national sharpshooting competition" "I didn't miss a shot, not one" "I won that one in Stockholm, I had some tough competition but I managed to beat them" "And believe me, even now I can beat many who can walk on their own two legs" "I don't doubt it sir, I don't doubt it" "And how well do you shoot?" "Have you ever practiced?" "Only when I was in the military service sir" "Marcos, please, Marcos!" "Forgive me maam, I didn't hear you" "Do you know anything about electricity?" "A bit, yes, but not much" "The motor for the water heater isn't working," "I think the power is out" "Let's take a look at the transformer," " I'll see what I can do" " Thank you" "Seems like it's not coming from here" "Could it be the fuses on the pole?" "Let's have a look, I'll go up and check" " Be careful Marcos" " Don't worry" "Alright, all set" "Marcos, keep still" "It's mother!" "Turn off the cables, please, turn off the cables!" "Get a branch, hurry and get a branch!" "Keep still, keep still" "Elena, I'll stay here and finish bandaging him, take your father his dinner, it's very late" "Thank you, you're a good samaritan" "The wound isn't deep, it'll heal soon." "Now try to sleep" "You did it well" " Goodnight" " Goodnight" "How is our guest doing?" "I suppose he's happy with the attention he's given at the Hotel El Rio" "Ricardo, there are times when your ironies aren't funny" "That man nearly had a grave accident for helping us" "Why are you getting worked up, do you care that much?" "He's no more than a stranger, someone we know nothing about" "He's a human being and that's enough" "Yes, of course, a human being who's whole, not like me, not even a man" "I want him gone from my home" "We need him and he won't be going" "You dare disobey an order?" "We always have to do things your damned way, whether you're right or not" "You keep us prisoner of your pain, of your bitterness" "You've destroyed my life and now you're destroying your daughters" " Enough Mother!" " Let me go!" "Always locked up, always alone, subject to that wheel chair along with you" "We have to work like animals because you throw out the servants" " It bothers you that we're happy" " Shut up!" "I order you to shut up!" "Shut up!" "No one is responsible for your sickness, no one!" "I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry" "It's an authentic piece from the 14th century,I want you to take a look" "Alright, I'll go see it, but I can't do anything at the moment" "There's a lot of people watching and things are very bad" "It'll have to wait" "The girl died at the clinic, it seems she never regained consciousness" "Too bad, may she rest in peace" "Have you spoken to the sergeant?" "Yes, it seems he found a relative of Irene, seems she works in a tavern in the country" "Good news." "Once we find her we'll pay her a visit" "I'm sure that's the best way to find our friend" "Hello Marcos" "Hello Ms. Elena" " How are you?" " Fine, just a little sore" "The sun finally came out and I plan to enjoy it." "What a marvelous day" "You're satisfied with very little" "What?" "I don't understand you" "A bit of sun is enough for you to be happy" "You're a lovely woman, you could have the world at your feet." "Why don't you leave?" "What are you doing here like an old maid taking care of that selfish old man?" "I won't have you insulting my father, you don't have the right" "Forgive me, I'm sorry for what I said, I beg you to forgive me" "I was just waiting for your mother" "Pick up the packages please" "What do you want here, why have you come to this home?" "You've ingratiated yourself with my wife and daughter but you're not fooling me" "I still don't know what you want from us but I'll find out, I assure you" "I assure you..." "If you underestimate me because I'm like this, you'll be making a big mistake..." "friend.." "Marcos, when you're done here please go to the garage and check the lightbulbs, they must've burned out because there's no light" "Yes maam" "Martha, will you get me a whiskey please?" "Alright Ricardo, right away" "For the love of god Marcos, for the love of god, let me go, let me go" "Please Marcos, I can't, I can't" "Let me go, let me go!" "Good, bravo!" "I think he's dedicating those shots to me" "Or maybe they're for both of us" "Mother, it won't be long before I can stop running, before I'm free of everything" "Martha, I've been thinking that it'd be good if we took a trip" "I've realized we've spent too long here, isolated, alone" "It's also be good for Elena to socialize, to make friends and I thought that maybe we could buy a place in Madrid or Barcelona, I don't know," " wherever you prefer" " That sounds stupendous Ricardo" "You've asked for it so many times," "I thought it would make you happy" "My god Ricardo, of course it makes me happy." "It'd be marvelous" "Quite a storm" "I'll call Marcos" "Watch your mother and that man, watch them" " Marcos, hurry, come with me" " What's happening?" "Ricardo fell from his chair and we can't pick him up" "How did it happen?" "Sometimes he gets terrible pain in his spine but it's never been as bad as today" "I should thank you and also ask forgiveness for making a scene" "She's a saint, she takes care of me attentively" "She's been my nurse for six years and you don't know what a sick man I am" "I can't control myself" "She has to clean me" "It's repugnant, don't you think?" "She has to put up with my bad attitude and if that weren't enough, she's still young and pretty" "She is pretty, don't you think?" "She doesn't have a man at her side who can satisfy her" "Let's go to the bedroom, he has to rest" "And Ricardo?" "The sedative will have him sleeping all night" "We had been married six years and we were very happy" "Ricardo was a winner, he was always smiling and then disaster struck" "He fell during a polo match and never recovered" "After that his personality changed, he locked us up here" "Since then I haven't had a moment of happiness" "until you arrived" "I should go, it's very late" "Samano, find me Hasim, we're headed out tomorrow morning." "It's a long trip" "What are you looking for?" "Didn't you hear me?" "What are you looking for here?" "Answer!" "I want to know who you are, we don't trust you" "My father thinks you've lied to us and so do I" "Your father is a sick man, he sees phantoms everywhere" "My father is a sick man,yes.." "but he sees more than he seems to" "You think so?" "I know you've been with my mother," "I was watching you" "Would you have liked to know... that your mother... was a hussy?" "My mother was a saint, a saint you hear me!" "Not like you, who have provoked me since I arrived" "Where's Elena?" "She said she was going for a walk" "I won't be having dinner Mother" "Is something wrong?" "My head hurts a bit, I'm going to bed" "You must be catching a cold," "I'll bring you some warm milk and aspirin later" " Good evening Padilla" " Good evening" "Come in." "Would you like some coffee?" "Yes Mrs. Rios, we'd be grateful" " He's my new employee" " Good evening" "How are your husband and daugher?" " Fine, thank you" " Give them my regards" "We'll be going now, we still have a long way to go" "Thank you for the coffee" " Goodnight" " Goodnight" " Marcos, please see them out" " Yes maam" " Do they come often?" " They show up once a week" "I'd like to place a call to Madrid Miss, to 244-2072" "With Mr. Bojan please" "Mr. Bojan, it's Marcos" "Yes, of course, but right now it's not convenient for me to go to Madrid" "That seems better to me" "Yes, we'll meet at the hotel." "See you the day after tomorrow" "Hello gentlemen." "Forgive me, but it's still too early" "What are you doing?" "Look beautiful, tell us what we want to know and nothing will happen to you, not to you or your family, so be a good girl" "Cooperate and we'll leave right away, understand?" "You shouldn't have gotten up so early" "I feel perfectly fine" " You have to be careful of colds" " I'm telling you I'm fine Mom" " Your favorite doll is..." " I broke it Mother, me" "But why?" "Why?" "Don't worry mother, your son has a brain" "Not now, it's dangerous." "Tonight" "What happened Marcos, don't abandon me Marcos, don't abandon me!" "Hello Marcos" "Listen asshole, we have you surrounded, there's no escape" "Give us back what's ours and we'll leave you alone" "Don't worry mother, I know how to deal with them" "Marcos, don't be an idiot." "It's better for everyone if we reach an agreement" "Damnit, this is gonna be worse than Vietnam." "I told you the guy had guts" "It's bad luck we couldn't catch him in the house, he sniffed us out" "Stop shooting and listen:" "he's protected from the front and his back is unprotected" "One of you go to the right and one to the left and surround him, we'll cover you" "Son of a bitch!" "Die!" "It's better to leave him..." "for now" "I think we can make it" "Let's go for it" "I've known disgusting people but you're in a league of your own" "I've just killed your husband and you still want to come with me?" "You slut!" "Don't kiss me, kiss this you whore, kiss this you filthy whore" "Mother..." "Translation By Turdis January 2010"
