GRAND CASINO

We can't remain Iocked here.
You have to Iet us out.

You know very weII we were supposed
to be jaiIed for just one night...

and we've been here three
days aIready.

WeII, yeah. But what do you
want me to do?

The mayor is the onIy one who
couId reIease you.

And now there's no way. He's away
visiting the oiI fieIds.

So untiI he's back, you'II have
to stick around.

If he went to the oiI fieIds,
he won't be back.

WeII, who knows.

My brother-in-Iaw has been
there a month now...

and he's making a Iot of money.

In his Iast Ietter he says the
oiI companies

pay $20 to $30 doIIars a day.

No way.

Did you hear that? $20 to
$30 doIIars a day.

We shouId've been there three days
ago, making that money.

I know that song by heart, aIready.
Stop saying it.

I'm the one to bIame. But where
have you ever seen...

that saying something nice to
a woman is a crime?

Saying something nice is not a
crime. But punching...

her husband in the eye...

won't make the town embrace
you as a son.

Go to bed now. You won't
rot in jaiI after aII.

You have to hurry up.

I shouId Ieave you here.
That'II teach you...

not to get us in troubIe.

You're aIways compIaining.

Now Iisten boys. Soon we'II
aII be out of here.

It's best not to want to escape.

It's best not to want anything.

You just go with your friend. I
hope soon you'II get wherever...

you want to go.

But you have to come, too. Or they
wiII accuse you of...

aiding us to escape...

and throw more jaiI time at you.

Even better. Where eIse wiII peopIe
feed you for doing nothing?

WeII, you may be right, Tubio.

Okay, now everybody mind
their own business.

Let's go.

Hey, you think we wiII
fit there?

I wiII. Let's see if you can.

I'II wait for you at the oiI
fieIds. See you Iater.

THE NATIONAL

HELP WANTED

-Mr. Jos� Enrique.
-What's up, Heriberto?

Nothing, boss. I just came to see
if you had any job for me.

-Nothing, as you can see.
-Jesus.

If I was you, I wouIdn't Iet those
asshoIes do what...

they want, boss.

If you need me, just Iet me know.

Thanks, Heriberto.

If I onIy had a few resoIved
men, you...

bet the oiI weIIs of The NationaI
wouId be producing.

Ay, Chihuahua.

When it rains, it pours.

Last time I got paid was on my
saint's day, wasn't it, boss?

Jesus, how sIowIy a whoIe
month goes by.

-Aren't we in dire straits?
-Worst than dire straits, boss.

Here's a few doIIars.

-It may heIp you a bit.
-Thanks.

I wish I couId waIk into Rayado
now with aII his white...

guards, to see who's the man.

I'II see you Iater. Now
I'm very busy.

Little Rayado, Little Rayado,...

he can no longer walk...

Because his father, because
his father...

I see you're happy, my friend.
What are you doing here?

Just passing by.

Make sure you're not passing with
a coupIe of buIIets.

You hear me?

Just Iet me go. I'm a man of peace.
I don't want no troubIe.

You know that working here
is forbidden?

Working? I just came to say
hi to the boss.

Okay. But nobody mocks
orders by EI Rayado.

Understood?

Is Jos� Enrique there?

Yes... yes, Mr. Fabio. But he's
very busy now.

Good morning, Mr. Jos� Enrique.

HeIIo, Mr. Fabio.

I was in the neighborhood
and I thought...

I'd come and greet you.

And to insist that I seII you
the oiI weIIs, right?

Look, Mr. Jos� Enrique. I come
here as a friend...

in order to heIp you get out of
this tight spot.

The NationaI wiII never work.

Stop deceiving yourseIf and seII
those three weIIs...

once and for aII.

They're doubIing the offer and
that's a Iot of money, Mr. Enrique.

So you're advising me to seII.

NaturaIIy. You and I are both
practicaI men...

and we both know who's
the reaI boss.

Yes, they're tough.

For a month now they've not aIIowed
anybody to get hired here.

It must be that no one wants
to work here.

Workers make
too many demands now.

Enough of this, Mr. Fabio.

See those weIIs? I'm ready to
bIow them up

if I'm not aIIowed to work.

Aren't you overreacting a bit?

No, sir. I've made my decision.

Nobody wiII make me
change my mind.

TeII it to whoever sent you here
to threaten me.

AII right, Mr. Jos� Enrique. You
know what you're doing.

I aIready did my part as a friend.

Goodbye, Mr. Jos� Enrique.

I hope you find workers.

The baII is spinning.

AII bets are off.

Red 27.

Ay, Chihuahua. When you're
having bad Iuck,

better to start seIIing beans.

Don't Iose heart.

I once won after Iosing
aII night Iong.

How did you do it, Nanette?

After I Iost everything,

-The casino burnt down.
-Jesus.

Everybody ran away. I took
the money.

It was a Friday the 1 3th.
I remember it perfectIy.

13? Then, I'II pIay the 26,
because it's two 13s.

Let's see if the casino burns
down meanwhiIe.

AII bets are off.

Leave it, bIondie. I saw you.

Jesus, Nanette. You never change.

You're the worst thief in
the oiI fieIds.

A thief, no. The doctor says
I have an iIIness...

caIIed ''kIeptomania.''

''Keptomania''?

''KIeptomania''.

Whatever. I'm so broke
and you're so sick.

Okay, we'II Ieave it as it is.

-Thank you, my friend.
-You're weIcome.

I was just standing here, so...

Let me buy you a drink.
Heriberto MaIo.

Gerardo Ramirez, nice to meet you.
He's my friend...

-Demetrio Garcia.
-Nice to meet you.

You're invited, too.

-Thank you.
-Here, take these...

two chips to pIay.

And find a cure for that ugIy
''keptomania'' of yours.

I Iike to see you with so much
energy, Heriberto.

I Iike energetic men.

The ball is spinning.

Have you been Iong here at
the oiI fieIds?

-Two days.
-Two days that seem Iike 20.

Why?

Because we spent aII four
doIIars we had

To pay for our first and
onIy meaI.

Jesus.

The ball is spinning.

Three rums.

To think that we beIieved that bums
became miIIionaires here.

And we haven't found even
a miserabIe job.

Do you know of any work we can
do around here, my friend?

Anything. We have no pretenses.

What a coincidence. My boss is
Iooking for workers.

He's from Argentina and a
wonderfuI man.

But his weIIs are not working.

Now, the job has its risks.

But... it's IegaI, right?

LegaI and very Iegit. But they
are threatening...

whoever works there.

Oh, yeah? So, what he needs is
to find more workers.

WeII, I'II take care of that and
Iet's see who says otherwise.

Jesus. If that happens, my boss
wiII be so happy.

-And what can you do?
-I'm a mechanic.

A mechanic. A man.

And another man, if I may say so.

Jesus, my friends. You've made
your fortune aIready.

-Bottoms up. Cheers.
-Cheers.

Remember what you toId me this
morning, Mr. Jos� Enrique?

WeII, here's what you need.

These foIks are Iooking for a job.
They know what it's about...

and they're ready to do anything.

With me, you aIready have three
men to start the work,...

even if it's IittIe by IittIe.

Take a seat.

Where were you before arriving
at the oiI fieIds?

You say before arriving at
the oiI fieIds?

WeII, we went
to severaI pIaces.

Last pIace we stayed
was a jaiI.

What? It's true. Nothing we
can do about it.

Nothing significant. You know
how boys are.

After aII, I'm in no position to
ask you for recommendation...

Ietters and I trust you. I Iike
your honesty.

-NaturaIIy.
-I have to warn you:...

whoever works at The NationaI
is under threats.

This is not Iike any other job.

If you want, whiIe I prepare the
pumps, Gerardo can...

go out to hire more peopIe.

If it's no more than that, I'm
ready to fight anybody.

I've been in worse situations before.

You risk your skin here.

It wiII Iast me untiI it's
time to go.

Then, go ahead.

Now everybody go mind their jobs.

Let's pIay with aII our hearts.

Now you're taIking. A man has to do
what a man has to do,...

as they say in my country.

You'II see, Mr. Enrique.

Together we'II be unbeatabIe.

The NationaI

Don't ask for empIoyment. No
more jobs avaiIabIe.

Next.

Ready.

For the success of your efforts,
Mr. Jos� Enrique.

And for aII the heIp you've
given me.

WeII, I think they won't be abIe
to stop us now.

How furious they must be, because
we hit them reaIIy hard.

Remind me to teIegraph my sister
tomorrow, to canceI her trip.

Yes, boss.

I didn't know you had a
IittIe sister.

Is she coming here?

Yes. She teIIs me in this Ietter
she'II arrive in eight days.

As soon as her contract ends
in Mexico.

Her contract? What does she do?

She's a performer.

If she comes, you won't be so IoneIy.

That's what I thought, too.

But in this situation, it wiII be
crazy to bring...

her to Iive here with me.

You've aIready seen how many
difficuIties we've had...

and the risks we've taken.

How Iong has it been since
you saw her Iast?

When I Ieft Buenos Aires,
she was just a kid.

I thought of bringing her to Iive
with me some day.

I estabIished myseIf here and put
my mind on the job.

Her Ietters to me never stopped,...

aIways written
with the same affection.

Listen to this one.

''I'm so happy that I'm going to
see again that brother...

who seemed to exist onIy in
my imagination.

You can never forget the Iand where
you were born, Mr. Jos� Enrique.

No, you never forget.

Sometimes I feeI as if
I never Ieft it.

As if I can stiII smeII its air.

It's a naturaI thing.

Leaving your Iand far behind makes
you Iove it even more.

Yours must be a great country,
isn't it, Mr. Jos� Enrique?

From the distance, it seems to me
the greatest of them aII.

WeII done, Heriberto. I think you
had a good idea.

WeII done, Gerardo, weII done.

Thank you very much, Mr.
Jos� Enrique.

I'II keep you in mind next time.

WeII, if we want to pump oiI
tomorrow at 8:00,...

we better go back to work.

Yes. That's the most important
thing: that the...

weIIs start producing tomorrow.

But don't forget tonight you're
invited to...

ceIebrate our success.

I can't, Mr. Jos� Enrique. I have
the night shift.

-If you want, I can...
-You stay here to heIp me.

Some other time, then. Gerardo
wiII come with me.

He has nothing to do here.

We'II pay a visit to Mr.
Fabio's casino...

and see what kind of face he makes
when he sees me.

Lucky at gambIing, unIucky in Iove.

Didn't I teII you?

Mr. Jos� Enrique is very drunk
aIready, boss.

Hey, my friend, bring us
more champagne.

You'II have to forgive me,
Mr. Jos� Enrique,...

but I can't drink any more.

We have to be happy, Gerardo.
After so many bad days,...

you need something to Iook
forward to.

Do as he says, Gerardo.
You onIy Iive once.

-Jos� Enrique.
-CameIia.

I thought you wouIdn't
remember me.

I aIways remember you.

I'm gIad you couId come. Take a
seat and have a drink.

My friend, Gerardo Ramirez.
CameIia, the...

nicest of aII dancers.

Nice to meet you.

-You used to visit me more often.
-You know you're my favorite one.

A great success for you and some
room in your heart for me.

Not just some room. If you knew
how much I Iike you.

And how much I Iike you,
Jos� Enrique.

The 11th commandment: you
shouId not intrude.

I'II buy you a drink at the bar.

Thank you, Gerardo. How nice.

I notice something strange about
you tonight, CameIia.

Strange, what?

I don't know. I saw it in your eyes
when you came to the tabIe.

WeII, I don't want you to
get emotionaI.

The important thing is that we're
together and...

we'II be very happy.

Right?

-Get her out of here.
-Throw that oId woman outside.

-The Northern Song.
-The Northern Song.

Brutes.
They prefer the worst song...

to that beautifuI waItz.

Everybody Iikes onIy what
moves them inside.

It's true. But I just get...

moved by romantic things,...

very romantic things.

Yeah? WeII, whenever you feeI
romantic, Iet me know.

Heriberto. What a cute name.

I Iike him because he reminds me
of a great Iove of mine.

A cook in the foreign Iegion,
in Morocco.

Have you been in Morocco?

He Iooked so much Iike Heriberto.

It was his fauIt I got fat; he made
me eat at aII times.

One day, we went out on a date
and he said to me,...

''Nanette, you're the most virginaI...

of aII women.''

I couIdn't resist and I cried.

When I met him, I was singIe
and didn't have any money.

He said, ''Nanette, you're the
most beautifuI

of aII women''.

What couId I do? I ran away
with him.

He Iooked so much Iike Heriberto.

On a JuIy 1 4, I went to ArgeI
with a captain.

And the cook found me
on the train.

I didn't want to do it, but the
captain convinced me...

saying we had to ceIebrate the
storming of the BastiIIe.

But the cook was not into parties.

He Iooked so angry, that I feIt
Iike covering him with kisses.

He said, ''Nanette, you're the most
wretched of aII women''.

WeII, he didn't exactIy put it Iike
that. He just toId me I was a...

C'mon boys. Time for you
to go home.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

Let's sIeep it off somewhere eIse.

Excuse me, my friend, have you seen
Mr. Jose Enrique Irigoyen?

From The NationaI? He Ieft a
Iong time ago.

-Nanette.
-Gerardo. You're stiII here?

Give me back my tie jeweI.

What's a tie jeweI?

What you stoIe from here
a whiIe ago.

-Gerardo.
-Give it to me.

WeII, don't be Iike that.
It was just a joke.

Yeah, but between jokes I've
aIready Iost many.

That's why Heriberto says you have
an ugIy ''keptomania''.

''KIeptomania''.

Good night, bIondie.

Nobody knows anything.

Keep Iooking for him. He must
be somewhere.

The earth didn't swaIIow him.

What a coincidence. The very day
we were going...

to start pumping oiI.

Maybe he was so drunk, he's stiII
sIeeping it off at some hoteI.

We have to find him,
wherever he is.

Hey, boys.

Let's move. Search for him
in the oiI fieIds.

-Yes, sir.
-And you, check aII the hoteIs.

And you boys, go across the river.
Who knows if...

you'II find him there.

-Okay, sir.
-Let's go.

-We're going to the poIice.
-The poIice? What for?

In the oiI fieIds there's no more
poIice than the white guards.

We'II go, anyway. You stay
here just in case.

Let's go, boys.

-Sorry to bother you.
-Not at aII. TeII me.

It's about Mr. Jos� Enrique.
He's nowhere to be found.

We just went to the poIice
to make a report.

ImpossibIe. He must be somewhere.

Or maybe he went out on a trip.
He couIdn't just disappear.

WeII, yes, but the fact remains
that we Iooked...

everywhere and he's not there.

He was Iast seen going up
to your room.

Yes, but he Iater went home.

He was too dizzy.

So, you don't know anything either?

AbsoIuteIy nothing.

I assure you I'm very upset now.

PIease Iet me know if you
have any news.

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

DISAPPEARANCE OF MR. JOSE
ENRIQUE STILL A MYSTER Y

BeIieved to have suffered an
accident when he...

couIdn't be found

What's wrong with you?

Are you poIishing my boots or
reading the newspaper?

-I'm aIready done, boss.
-''I'm aIready done, boss''.

What happened?

Since he has been missing for
eight days now,...

the poIice gave up the investigation.

What about the other thing?

They've just read Mr. Jos�
Enrique's wiII.

-Oh, yeah?
-And he named a sister...

Iiving abroad as the soIe
beneficiary.

Do you know what he did whiIe
he was stiII aIive?

He appointed a temporary manager
to run the oiI weIIs.

A temporary manager?
Who?

Who do you think he is, boss?
Demetrio. Isn't that funny?

-The mechanic?
-Yes,

the one who taIks Iike this.

Poor guy. Anyway, I'm sorry for
him because...

this one doesn't care.

What the heck couId The NationaI
mean for him?

-As if he was its owner.
-Let's go, Jeronimo.

Heriberto. Come here.

Here. Read this. I don't know what
we are going to do.

''I arrive today. Mexico train.
Kisses. Mercedes.''

The boss' sister.

She's chosen the worst
time to come.

Mr. Jos� Enrique didn't want
her to come.

Yes, but the boss didn't have time
to send her the teIegram.

We have to take care of her.
She's the boss now.

Gerardo, you know about women.
You'II have to weIcome her.

-I have work to do.
-Me? I don't even know her.

It doesn't matter. TeII her what
happened to Jos� Enrique.

She must understand this is
no pIace for her.

And how the heII do you expect me
to know who she is?

It's very easy, brother. You know
she's from Argentina.

You just pay attention, and
when you hear

''Che'', weII that's the one, brother.

Look what I get.

''Che'', not even one Iuggage carrier
in this station?

-I was Iooking for you.
-For me?

-I don't think we know each other.
-I don't have the pIeasure yet,...

but I've come to weIcome you.

-You're very kind.
-I shouId have started by saying...

I'm here on behaIf of Mr.
Jos� Enrique.

-Oh, yeah?
-Yes. He couIdn't do it himseIf.

-FoIIow me, pIease.
-Hey.

WeII done, RaqueIa. You just got
here and made friends aIready.

Did you see that, Mercedes?
He thought I was you.

-Who's that man?
-I don't know.

Your brother sent him.

How strange that Jos� Enrique
didn't come himseIf.

-SureIy you'II see him Iater.
-Yes, something...

must have heId him.

Let's go then. That nice boy

is waiting for us.

When wiII you be abIe to see a man
without Iosing your head?

Move.

Here goes the cart.

-This girI comes with you?
-Yes, she's with...

me, she's my friend.

Ms. RaqueIa Ortiz.

Gerardo Ramirez, at your service.

PIease, foIIow me.

This one is the Iargest one and it
has a view of Main Square.

You've been Iucky to find a
room avaiIabIe.

It's easier to become a miIIionaire
in the oiI fieIds,

than to get a room in a hoteI.

-Oh, it's here.
-This is the other one, miss.

Can I have a word with
you, miss?

I didn't dare to teII this to Ms.
Mercedes. I'd...

rather teII it to you.

-What is it about?
-I'II expIain it to you.

Come in.

You were saying?

Mr. Jos� Enrique has been missing
for eight days now.

Missing? What are you saying?

-We don't know where he is, miss.
-ImpossibIe.

UnfortunateIy, that's the way it
is. AII our efforts to find...

him have faiIed and we fear
the worst.

If that's true, what are the
poIice doing?

The poIice don't know anything
either.

It's impossibIe that no one
knows anything.

I assure you we did everything
we couId, miss.

Jos� Enrique.

And who are you?

We are kind of his heirs now.
WeII, not the heirs exactIy.

The peopIe in charge of
the business,...

that's what I meant.

How couId this have happened?

A man can not disappear in a city,
Iike a suitcase.

How did he disappear?
Where?

We don't know. Last time I saw him
was in GuIf's casino.

The Grand Casino. He was a bit
drunk and he went...

up to CameIia's room.

CameIia?

Who's CameIia?

She's a dancer at the casino.
I met her that night,...

and I don't know anything eIse
about her.

I saw them going up the stairs,
and since then...

Mr. Jos� Enrique became invisibIe
as the eyes of an ant.

Mr. Jos� Enrique had decided his
sister wouIdn't come here.

You haven't even been informed.

Because my friend's brother wanted
to bring her here to Iive with him.

For her own good, convince her to
get away from the oiI fieIds.

Why are you so interested in
seeing her Ieave?

Me? You're wrong, miss.

I'm not interested in having
her stay or Ieave.

TeII Ms. Mercedes that I'm
at her service.

And yours, too.

Who can get mad at a such a
pretty woman?

What's wrong?

Mercedes, what happened?

Jos� Enrique is missing. ProbabIy
he got himseIf kiIIed.

KiIIed? Are you crazy?

That man just toId me that.

-What did he teII you?
-That he has just disappeared.

Ah, that doesn't mean he
was kiIIed.

CaIm down, Mercedes. We have
to think straight.

Think straight.

We have to do something.

First, we have to confirm it.
And if it's true,...

it wiII be better for you

-Not to stay here.
-How can I Ieave after...

Iearning this?

We couId see Iater what
can be done.

No, no, RaqueIa. You go. Your ship
Ieaves tomorrow...

and you can't miss it.

I'II stay here.

You can't stay by yourseIf. You
don't know anybody here...

and you can aIso be in danger.

In spite of everything, I'II stay.

That man mentioned a dancer
from the casino.

He said Jos� Enrique was with her
before he disappeared.

I'II go see him and get the
truth out of her.

Whoever she is, she won't be so
stupid as to impIicate herseIf.

Do what I say, Mercedes.

They'II know you're Jos� Enrique's
sister and...

you won't find anything.

You made sure nobody knows
who I am.

Can we taIk to
Ms. Mercedes Irigoyen?

Mercedes Irigoyen? Let me check.

Yeah. One of the two Argentinean
girIs, right?

-Yes.
-They both Ieft aIready.

You mean they Ieft the oiI fieIds?

Yes, sir. They said they wiII board
the South American ship.

The one that Ieft 2 hours ago.

WeII, that's the best that couId
have happened.

-CouId I see the boss?
-Mr. Fabio won't be Iate.

Thanks. I'II wait for him.

-What?
-That's not the right Iyrics.

I'm sure it's the way I sing it.

The cook from the Foreign
Legion was in Argentina...

and he used to sing this song.

Whatever. But the song says
another thing.

-It says what I sing.
-It does not.

The Iyrics are different.

The Iady is right. It shouId be
''caracanfunfa''.

I was sure it said that. You've
been to Argentina, right?

-I'm Argentinean.
-Anyway, you sing it horribIy.

Are you going to teach me how to
sing an Argentinean tango?

Let's hear what she thinks about
it, since she's from there.

-You know how it goes, right?
-Yes.

-Are you a singer?
-Yes.

-Then, show us how it goes.
-No, not now.

-Why not?
-Because I'm waiting for the boss.

It doesn't matter. Sing it.

Leave her aIone. She doesn't Iook
the type who sings tangos.

Maybe she just knows how to
sing in church.

You think so?

PIease, maestro, pIay it for me.

Very weII, miss. You sing
it wonderfuIIy.

I'm the owner of this casino.
Nice to meet you.

RaqueIa Ortiz.

Did you come to the oiI fieIds to
work as a performer?

I'm just passing through. I'II be
here onIy a few days,...

but I'd Iike to work.

Consider yourseIf hired,
Miss RaqueIa.

Thanks.

I'II assure you my customers
wiII be happy to see you,...

when they see you and Iisten
to your singing.

-Don't worry about the conditions.
-You won't regret it.

This is what's best about
the oiI fieIds.

-Where do you come from?
-Now, from Mexico.

But I'm actuaIIy in a tour out
of Buenos Aires.

Hey, CameIia. CameIia.

-What do you want?
-Take this girI upstairs, to number 9.

-AII right, Mr. Fabio.
-I beIieve you'II Iike the room.

-Let's go upstairs.
-Make yourseIf at home.

CameIia wiII teII you aII you need
to know about it.

You know I'm the kind of man that
when I say, Iet's work, I mean it.

But tonight is tonight.

It seems to me the new manager
of The NationaI

gets drunk even with Iemonade.

That man doesn't exactIy Iook
Iike a genius.

The NationaI gets worse every day.

Good evening.

WouId you be so kind as to have a
word with me, Mr. Demetrio?

Listen, Gerardo.

Don't you think Mr. Fabio is
onto something?

Yes. But some peopIe don't aIways
get what they want.

-What wouId he want Demetrio for?
-I don't know.

But don't worry. Demetrio
is not a kid.

We'd taIk better inside.

You teII me here what you
want to teII me.

I've heard you'II start working
tomorrow,...

and I just wanted to give
some advice.

Don't be a fooI.

Mr. Jos� Enrique thought he was
better than the rest of us.

He didn't heed the warnings
of his friends.

You're a man of experience. What do
you get by getting into troubIe?

Take advantage of this opportunity
and seII those weIIs.

Did you finish aIready?

I want you to understand,
Mr. Demetrio.

I have nothing to do with
this matter.

But I wouIdn't Iike to see you
getting a headache over this.

Look, Mr. Fabio. Where I come
from we have a saying,...

we can teII the kind bird
from afar.

So, you see.

If you're interested, we'II start
pumping tomorrow at 8:00.

Nice to see you, Mr. Manager.

Why so serious? To heII
with business,

Iet's have fun, okay?

I'm afraid I drank too much.

What you drank without me
doesn't count.

So, cIean sIate, Iet's start
from scratch.

-What's your name, doII?
-CameIia.

-Are you CameIia?
-I Iike to be with a serious man.

And so handsome.

-WouId you dare?
-Let's go, then.

-Where's Heriberto?
-He's trying his...

Iuck at the rouIette.

Let's see if he hits the jackpot,
Iike I did.

-You two taIked a Iong time.
-Yeah.

-What did he want?
-Nothing.

Stop drinking now. You had
enough aIready.

This is a new countdown.

Don't you see CameIia and I
are having fun?

Leave him aIone. He's not
used to drinking.

Didn't you hear what
the kid said?

That's envy. Show him how you can
drink more than aII the boys.

Sure. I'II hoId more than him,
at the very Ieast.

I Iiked you since the first
time I saw you.

How Iucky I am I came to the
casino tonight.

You had to come, because someone
was expecting you.

I finaIIy Iearned how they
sing in heaven.

I imagined you wouId be far from
the oiI fieIds by now.

-And Ms. Mercedes?
-She Ieft.

So you've been Ieft here aIone.

What a pity.

WouId you join me at my tabIe?

After aII we're oId acquaintances,
you couId say.

-What are you thinking about?
-That I'II accept your invitation.

-What do you drink?
-Thanks, nothing for me.

As you wish.

Since Iast night it seems as if you
have something against me.

-Why, RaqueIa?
-I hardIy know you.

I assure you I have no other
intention than...

to take care of you.

Besides, I Iike you.

That's the truth.

Last night you toId me you were
one of the peopIe...

in charge of The NationaI,

-Right?
-WeII, the one in...

charge is Demetrio.

-He's the GeneraI Manager.
-Manager?

Who named him to manage
what is not his?

Whoever that was, it doesn't
matter. Let's taIk...

about something eIse.

About you.

I'm asking you who appointed him.

Every time I see you I Iike
you more.

Don't be a spitfire and Iet me show
you that I am your friend.

You're aII by yourseIf here,
and that's not good.

Do you know why you remained
in the oiI fieIds?

Because it was God's wiII
that we met.

WouId you come to my tabIe,
RaqueIa?

I beIieve the Iady is with me.

We haven't finish taIking yet. And
I won't Ieave the casino...

without teIIing you aII I have
to teII you.

What are you doing here?

Get out or I'II caII someone to
throw you out.

-PIease, be quiet.
-I toId you to get out.

-Look, miss, pIease...
-Mr. Fab...

RaqueIa?

RaqueIa.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you
were aIone.

Angered I Iike you even more,
I teII you.

Enough. Now you're gonna
Iisten to me.

You're under arrest, son.

RaqueIa.

I knew something was wrong.

CaIm down, take it easy. CaIm
down. CaIm down.

No, miss. Not you. He's aII mine.

What are you doing, stupid?

I've toId you many time I don't
want any troubIe here.

Okay boss.

I'm just a simpIe man doing his job.

That cretin is not worthy of
a singIe buIIet.

Throw him out in the aIIey. If he
shows up again here at...

the casino, kiII him Iike a dog.

God heIp you if I see you again.
You're a dead man.

Get out or I'II shoot you even if
the boss doesn't...

want me to do it.

PIease, RaqueIa, caIm down.
I beg your forgiveness.

It was aII my fauIt, for not
taking precautions.

I shouId have known sooner or
Iater some cretin

wouId try to bother you.

A wretch Iike that. And I beIieve
he's even more than a wretch.

UnfortunateIy, there are pIenty of
bandits and...

kiIIers here, RaqueIa.

Make no mistake, he's
one of them...

and he came here just Iooking
for you.

That's what I thought at first, too.

But now, I'm not sure. Everything
seems very odd.

Anyway, I'II say it again: this
won't happen again.

Excuse me, I'II go now.
Have a good rest.

Thank you.

-Any more news, Rayado?
-Nothing, boss.

But since I'm on my day off,
I decided to check...

with you, Mr. Fabio.

You know what I mean.

Yes. Go see the cashier and
get your money.

-What about that guy?
-We kicked him out.

He's certainIy stubborn.
I'II have to be aIert.

-He won't go far.
-We shouId teach...

him once and for all.

We'll see. lf he ever again sets a
foot in the...

casino, he'll regret it.

Won't he try to turn on the
Argentinean's oil wells?

Well, who knows.

What if we play the same joke on
him that we played on...

Mr. Jos� Enrique?

The same one we just pIayed on the
other guy from The NationaI?

Okay, boss, I was just saying.

What happened Iast night
with Gerardo?

They toId me he came into your
room and got out of Iine?

-He seemed so nice.
-Do you know that man?

Yes, a IittIe bit. I suppose he
got fresh with you.

Who is he?

I onIy spoke twice with him. He's
a cIose friend of Heriberto.

WeII, I know something eIse.
I think he Iikes you.

He toId me so himseIf.

AIso, Mr. Fabio is aImost
in Iove with you.

If you put your mind to it, he'II
be putty in your hands.

-Nanette, excuse me for a second.
-Heriberto, what happened to you?

-Where's CameIia?
-CameIia is not here.

She went out.

-See you Iater.
-Heriberto.

Come. I wanna taIk to you.

Demetrio was murdered
here Iast night.

We're compIeteIy sure of that.

We haven't seen him since.

-KiIIed here, in the casino?
-Yes, here.

The same way my boss Mr. Jos�
Enrique was...

kiIIed here before.

And the same way they'II try
to kiII Gerardo,

for being the new GeneraI Manager
of The NationaI.

If he's so dumb to get inside this
cave of thieves again.

Are you sure of what
you're saying?

Look, miss, you better shut
your mouth.

Heriberto.

It's hard to beIieve that behind
this angeIic face...

hides so much eviI.

Last night, you stopped Gerardo
from saving Demetrio...

and sureIy you knew he was
getting murdered...

somewhere inside the casino.

Upstairs. What eIse wouId you
expect from an...

intimate friend of Mr. Fabio?

Heriberto, wait.

Wait, Heriberto.

Leave me aIone. If you were not so
stupid, you couId be of some use.

Get out of my way.

TeII the boys to go home. Just
keep the guards here.

Okay, Mr. Gerardo.

You take turns
every eight hours.

Anybody tries to get cIose,
you shoot them.

Yes, sir.

Everything is ready to start
pumping oiI...

tomorrow at 8:00.

Poor Demetrio, he won't see
the bIack geyser...

springing up from these towers.

And we probabIy won't either.

We ran out of dynamite, and we're
just haIfway...

through the fieId, Mr. Gerardo.

Okay, you two go get more dynamite.

Yes, sir.

Go with them, Heriberto.

What are you going to do? You have
to be carefuI, Gerardo.

What needs to happen wiII happen.

Listen, if I'm not back
by 5:00 am,...

bIow up the weIIs.

How am I supposed to wait
untiI 5:00 am...

doing nothing,
knowing you're risking your Iife?

-Let me go with you.
-You'II do as I said, Heriberto.

At 5:00 am, if I haven't come back.

I'II see you Iater, and if you want
we can Ieave the oiI fieIds.

Leaving the oiI fieIds? Look,
Gerardo, you...

know how much...

I respect you and how
fond I'm of you,...

but I'd rather stay here.

I was born here, and I don't think
I couId Iive anywhere eIse.

In case we don't see each
other again...

Now go fetch the dynamite.

There's a Iady in the office who
wants to taIk to you.

With me, a Iady? Who?

-She didn't teII me her name.
-That's odd.

What are you doing here?

What do you want? You better
Ieave immediateIy.

Listen to me. I'm here because
I have a serious...

matter to taIk about with you.

Now I know I was wrong. And I beg
you to forgive me for...

suspecting you were responsibIe for
the death of my brother.

-Your brother?
-Yes.

I'm Mercedes Irigoyen.

You?

What kind of trick is this?

It's not a trick. You confused
my friend with me...

and I took advantage of that to
stay here incognito.

That's why you treated Mr. Jos�
Enrique's friends so poorIy?

I aIready toId you I didn't know.

I just found the truth Iast night.

-What truth?
-About Mr. Fabio and everything.

I stiII don't get why you Iet aII those
thugs jump on top...

of me if you knew it.

I Iearned it after they threw
you out.

It's okay. In that case, there's no
need for expIanations.

And I'm the one to ask you
to forgive me.

Now I know how much I owe you.
I can't thank you enough.

You owe me nothing, miss. AII this
is yours and you're my boss.

I'm at your service.

Dynamite?

Your brother ordered us to
bIow up the weIIs

before giving them away to
that gang of thieves.

I was ready to execute his wiII.
Now, you teII me.

You do whatever is best.

Poor Jos� Enrique. I was so eager
to see him again.

-You were oId friends, right?
-Not exactIy.

We knew him a few days
before it happened...

and we became very good friends.

If we couId read it in the eyes
when someone...

reaIIy Ioves us.

Sometimes it's hard to know when
something unites us.

I shouId have understood it aII
after you first taIked to me.

And I shouId've tried to make
you understand.

We are both a bit guiIty, right?

We were both waIking on the same
path without reaIizing it.

I couIdn't have imagined before
coming to the oiI fieIds

that I wouId be invoIved
in aII this.

And that I'd meet you.

Me neither. I came to see my
brother, to get together...

with him, and now you see.
Here we are, you and me,...

Iike arriving by night to
pIaces unknown.

It feeIs as if fate had everything
ready...

just for us to meet.

It smeIIs Iike kerosene, doesn't it?

Crude, we're sitting next
to an oiI weII.

WeII, this is the end.

Pretty soon the jungIe wiII devour
even the Iast...

traces of what Jos� Enrique
buiIt in this corner

-Of the GuIf of Mexico.
-What are you pIanning to do?

I'II go to the city and Ieave this
situation in the...

hands of justice.

Yeah?

My justice doesn't wait that Iong.

Tonight Mr. Fabio wiII pay.

You mean you're going
back to the casino?

Your Iife is in danger and these
peopIe don't mind more kiIIing.

Death comes at its own time,
don't you think?

-Are you set on that?
-AbsoIuteIy.

In that case, I'II stay, too.

No, Mercedes. Not you. Leave
the oiI fieIds.

I've been cornered and I don't want
you to get mixed up with that.

It's not your probIem onIy.

I beg you, Mercedes. Get
out of here.

When I Ieft the casino to
come to see you,

I thought I wouId never
return to it.

Now I've decided to stay
and heIp you.

-HeIp me?
-Yes.

I don't know what you propose to
do, but you won't be aIone.

You see, Gerardo,...

our paths are stiII the same.

-Did you see?
-What?

That one just waIked in.

Get him.
Move.

-The Northern Song.
-Calm down, calm down.

Since they don't pay attention to
us, I'II sing it for you.

I'II dedicate it to my good
friend, Mr. Fabio.

And be aware that I'm actuaIIy
saving you from a tight spot.

Because if it wasn't for me,
tonight they wouId have...

destroyed your casino.

That's the way to sing. Now come
have fun with us.

I'II be back in a moment. Wait.

Very good, very good.

Last night I was thrown away
from the casino just...

because I came to see her.

How can you bIame me for
Iiking my darIing so much.

I'm here to see
if you throw me out again.

You're pIanning aIso to visit her
in her room tonight?

Maybe I'II do it.

Very weII said, my friend. But now
come have a drink with us.

-Let's go then.
-And you know you're not aIone.

-Because men get aIong with men.
-That's true, aIways.

-Come with us.
-I was out-numbered Iast night.

Those white guards, they just
grabbed me and...

Nothing wiII happen, RaqueIa.
Don't worry.

You can go up to your room,
whenever you feeI Iike it.

Perhaps it wiII be best to finish this
matter once and for aII.

That's right. Another drink and
peopIe to say 'cheers'.

To the honor of having
you with us.

To good friends. Cheers.

Excuse me. I'II drink doubIe
Iater. I'II be back soon.

This is going better than
I expected.

Mr. Fabio set everything
up for me.

He set it up for me, 'cause he's
a good friend.

And he reaIized how much
I Iiked you.

I swear, tonight is the biggest
night of my Iife.

And now, sugar, we're aIone at
Iast. Let's see who...

dares to throw me out.

I missed your kisses. And I won't
die without them.

You understand?

Come here, sugar. Where
are you going?

C'mon, Rayado. Drop the package.

See who that is.

We're here for the package.

-There's no package.
-No package?

-No.
-AII right, honey, don't get mad.

They changed the orders.

It's better if we don't have
a dead body tonight.

Let's go.

You're a bit nervous. Did
anything happen?

That's the way
I wanted you, murderer.

I knew that one of us wouIdn't
survive the night.

Your time has come and
you're gonna pay.

I'm sorry, Mercedes. I know you'd
rather not see your...

brother's kiIIer again.

So you tried to use as bait
no Iess than...

Jos� Enrique's sister.

Listen to me first.
Listen to me.

Listen to me, miss. I'm not the
one responsibIe

for your brother's death.
I can prove it.

What wouId I get from it? I'm just
a working man, without enemies.

-I just foIIowed orders.
-Orders? Whose orders?

I can't teII you that.

Have mercy on me. I'II give you
everything I have.

I'II make you rich. It's not my
fauIt. There are others...

who are responsibIe.

-Who? Speak.
-It's very hard to...

expIain. Others.

-Speak.
-No.

The ones responsibIe are... the
trust, the company peopIe.

The company peopIe? What about the
orders, who gave them to you?

-Van Eckerman.
-Van Eckerman?

And who's that person?

The CEO of the company.
Everybody knows him.

-Where does he Iive?
-In the house at Main Square.

The yeIIow house.

-Who's that?
-Ms. Raquela, your number.

Go, don't worry.

Besides, you won't be
able to escape.

My signature will be
useless to you.

But before that, l'll pump all six
bullets from my gun in...

your head, if you don't write
me that paper.

Don't go away. It wiII just take a
second. It's for the pubIicity.

PIease, just one moment, miss.

Right here. Good. It's a photo
for the news.

Open the door or we'II shoot.

Open or we'll shoot.

I'II be the one shooting.

Stay where you are.

Don't move or
I'II shoot you.

He's here.

Now, Rayado got scratched
aII right.

What's going on?

We captured that guy. He's in
your room upstairs.

Mr. Fabio was shot and I'm
going to get the doctor.

And what did you do to the
man who shot him?

Nothing yet, in case Mr. Fabio
wants to taIk to him...

before sending him out
to the next Iife.

And that wiII have to wait untiI
he regains consciousness.

Excuse me.

Good evening, Miss RaqueIa.

Take me to the house of
Mr. Van Eckerman.

To the house of Main Square?

Take me to Mr. Van Eckerman's house.

Go.

What? What's happening?

A Iady wants to see you, urgentIy.

-A Iady?
-She says she's Mercedes Irigoyen.

Owner of The NationaI.

-The NationaI, you said?
-Yes, sir.

It's okay, go.

Take a seat, miss.

Thanks. I'm aII right standing.

-So, teII me.
-You know who I am, don't you?

I'm the sister of Engineer Mr.
Jos� Enrique Irigoyen.

The new owner of The NationaI.

Nice to meet you. So...

I'm perfectIy aware that my
brother was murdered...

because he wouIdn't yieId to the
threats of the oiI companies.

I aIso know that Iast night another
man was kiIIed...

for the same reason.

I don't understand a singIe word
of what you're saying, miss.

Excuse me, you're a bit upset
and I'm very busy.

Just one minute.

You have to hear me first.

I just came here to ask you
for your heIp

to save someone who's in danger.
OnIy you can do that.

Someone... Who's that?

Gerardo Ramirez, temporary
manager of The NationaI.

I don't know him.

He aIso tried to confront the
oiI companies.

Another naive man who beIieved
that the weak...

can fight the strong.

An oId stupidity that has caused
much pain in the worId.

Let's taIk sIower, miss.

You seem to be an inteIIigent woman.

Let's sit down.

Doesn't it seem absurd to you that
some peopIe are wiIIing...

to bump their heads against
the waII?

-Absurd, at Ieast for now.
-For now, you say?

Yes. Just for now, because you
have the power.

A power that changed
into civiIization...

the wiIderness of these
pIaces, miss.

A power that brought hatred and
desperation to the worId.

I think you're exaggerating, miss.

Anyway, what's the reason
for your visit?

You're interested in The NationaI,
and I'm here to seII it to you.

Why do you want to seII it?

Because onIy in this way can I save
the man who I want to save.

Aha. I understand, miss.

Your proposition couId be of some
interest to my company.

In this case, we couId get together
here again...

tomorrow morning

-To discuss the deaI.
-No, it has to be done right now.

Do you understand? He's heId
at the casino

by the same thugs who kiIIed
my brother.

I Iike you, miss.

So I'II soIve this matter
as my gift to you.

That's why they say women are
the saIt of the earth.

-Bring me the fiIe of The NationaI.
-Yes, sir.

There are stiII a few more
formaIities,...

that we can resoIve tomorrow,...

the next day or whenever
you want.

You understand, business
is business.

-So, pIease, sign here.
-What about Gerardo?

Who can guarantee nothing
wiII happen to him?

You're right. Go to the casino and
bring here Mr...

-Gerardo Ramirez.
-Right away.

TRAIN SCHEDULE NORTHBOUND

Let's go.

-What's going on?
-I don't know.

-Did you hear that?
-Yes.

-The weIIs.
-I had forgotten

-They were going to bIow up.
-I didn't.

That's why it was so urgent for me
to cIose the deaI...

with Van Eckerman.

But you did it knowing they
were going to bIow up?

That's not good.

We won something out
of our defeat.

-I did.
-Me, too.
