Thank you.

You cannot walk away from love.

That was the advertisement in the Baltimore newspaper.

And that is how he found her.

She was a young woman in need of a husband, and he was a man who wanted a

It's too late to talk this to him now.

You can't marry a Louis. You've never met her.

I meet her today.

The boat from America comes for six. We marry at nine. By ten, I am back at

work. Ridiculous.

This is ridiculous.

And it's a wife.

Isn't that what you have been telling me? Well, I sent for one. From America.

What does she look like?

From today in every man's life, when a band is playing, and he's the only one

can hear it.

Today, give your dad.

I love you, woman.

She is not beautiful.

She is not meant to be beautiful.

She's meant to be kind and true and young enough to bear children.

Oh, come on. The sun will be up any minute.

Now, Bob will be coming in.

What about love?

Doesn't love come into this equation at all?

Love is not from the other.

Love is for those people who believe in it.

No.

Why are you laughing at me?

You'll be laughing at me the whole morning.

Oh, never mind. You go.

Go on.

you

No, this is not a love story.

But it is a story about love and the power it has over life.

The power to heal or destroy.

And this is where the story begins.

Vargas? Louis Vargas?

Yes.

You don't recognize me, do you?

Miss Russell?

No.

Julie Russell?

This picture... I've deceived you. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have. I...

I was unsure.

You see, I didn't want a man to be interested in me just because I owned a

pretty face.

And so I sent another woman's photograph, and not my own.

I see.

I do hope you forgive me. I meant to write many times. I tried.

But my courage failed me, so I...

And, um, well... Now I stand before you

as I am, and you know the worst.

No, no.

Not the worst at all.

Only not what I was expecting.

If my deception has altered your intentions, and if you are not satisfied

way... No, no, no, it isn't that.

I am determined to make my way back to my home in Delaware.

If you say so, I will. Miss Russell.

Miss Russell.

You are being honest with me.

I will be honest with you, too.

I will admit to a deception of my own.

You are exactly the image of your photograph.

Yes, yes, I am.

But I wrote to you that I am a clerk.

coffee export house, and I am not.

I... I own the house.

The business is my own.

You did not want a woman to be interested in you just because you owned

bank account.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, then we have something in common.

We are both not to be trusted.

Of course, my... My deception has altered your intentions.

If you are not interested in marrying a wealthy man... No, I think I could

manage.

If you could manage a somewhat prettier wife.

I'll make the effort.

Miss Russell.

Mr. Vargas?

Now we have all the time in the world for you to know each other.

Well, no, not all the time.

No.

No, we are going to be married at nine o 'clock.

Oh.

Well, then, we'd better hurry.

Yes.

Take this ring.

The sign of my love.

Of fidelity.

To you.

In the name of the Father.

Will you dance with me?

Dance? I don't dance.

I say you do.

May their lives together be like this dance.

Harmonious, smooth.

Dance for life.

Never ending.

Alan, enough is enough.

I'm almost through.

You're through now.

Sit down.

Would you like to see the house?

No.

I can see tomorrow.

Yes.

You have to give me a few moments. I'm shy of these things.

I will give you as many moments, days, nights.

You would do that for me?

If you say so, yes.

I don't know.

I will take your night.

Good night. Good night.

The room is there, to the right.

Yes, I think I'll find it.

Thank you.

I could wait outside, but then the coffee would be cold.

No, it's all right.

If someone would bring me my coffee every morning before I dressed, I would

very happy.

It would change the day.

But you only drink tea in the morning.

I do? No.

I heard in my letter that I worked in a coffee company and you wrote back.

That was my scepter.

You believe coffee to be a sinful pleasure.

So I pretended to agree with her, and as she read all my letters to you, I could

not always tell the truth of them.

Well, the more reason to forget them.

That's all behind you now.

What do you think?

About what?

Do you believe, as my sister does, that pleasure could ever be sinful?

It has my love to keep.

Why did you choose an American wife?

Well, here we are the past.

And there you are the future.

Why did you choose to live it?

To escape the future.

To become someone else, I think.

And there, in his arms, she became someone else.

Someone more like herself.

Ugh.

I am telling you, man, I have never been happier.

There's no such thing as happily married, Lewis.

It's an oxymoron, right?

Happily date.

I thought you would be slowly planning your way back to the whores by now,

some little Creole tom. Not anymore.

Anyway, you've had her to yourself long enough, my friend.

When do we get to see her again?

We're going to the theater next week. There's an American touring company she

wants to see.

Why don't you join us?

When the nail is wrong to take my living breath come come the night is almost

done It's near

the shrieking grim and hideous brim of hell to uncover God

or you will share her wretched and hell -hound Abominable monster with that I

had never been born

Wonderful, wonderful.

Keep melodrama.

Was it we who forced our way to you? Who was it that sent her to everyone?

I?

Or you?

What evil thing has risen from the ground?

Father, let angels now have charge of me.

Encounter out heavenly company.

She is condemned to die.

No. She is redeemed. On high.

Julia,

my

dear. You look flushed.

Are you all right? Oh, yes.

Yes, it's the theater.

I love it.

Even the cheap melodrama.

Excuse me.

Does she suffer from fever?

She suffers from a little too much rouge.

Nonsense. A lady does not wear rouge.

No, a lady doesn't.

And a lady does not wander through the theater alone, either.

you will find the second act more appealing.

Excuse me, sir. The public is not allowed that stage. No, don't put your

on me, sir.

Mike White, damn it! Louis, you've come to my rescue.

Julia. It's like a play.

What are you doing here?

Isn't it exciting?

Look at all the mysterious contraptions.

Who was that man?

Oh, man, I was lost, that's all.

You make my heart stop.

Feel my heart.

Feel how fast it's beating?

Place it.

Place it, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, place it for act two.

Take me home now.

My own dearest

sister. I cannot understand why you treat me thus.

It is many weeks now since you left me, and in all that time, not a word from

you to tell me of your safe arrival, whether you have met Mr. Vargas, whether

the marriage has taken place or not.

What am I to think?

I have already contacted the embassy in Havana and the authorities there in

Santiago. I know how you feel about her, but... You have to write.

You have to write before she has the police on us.

Yes, you're right to have been unkind to her.

Although she has never been kind to me.

Just do it.

Do it.

Then it's done.

No! No!

No!

No! No!

No!

It's me. It's me. Who is it?

You need something?

Here.

I'm sorry.

You're here with me. It's a cure. You're right.

We stay.

Buenos dias, senor Vargas. Buenos dias, Rafael.

Luis!

Don't go.

How is the queen of the house this morning?

Look.

See? I've done it.

This is for the best.

Thank you.

I'll have their approach this morning. No need.

I can do it myself.

I've yet to address it.

I'll do it.

I have the others at the office.

And then he's even sooner on his way. Come on. Yes.

What

will

you do today?

I'm going to an English dressmaker at the Plaza Viejo.

Oh.

You'll need some money.

Sign here, señora.

Did you wish to put this on both your personal and your business accounts?

thank you.

I want my wife to have free use of all of my accounts.

There you are.

How should I sign? Do I use my Christian name?

No, no, your married name.

And then you have to remember to repeat the signature exactly each time you draw

a check.

I will try.

Is there a difference?

Oh, yes.

To love someone is to give, and then want to give more.

And lust?

What is lust, Alan?

Lust is to take, and then take more.

To devour, to consume. No lust, no reason.

So, give, take.

Which is?

Both.

I want to give her everything.

I want to take everything from her.

Oh, Lewis.

You are lost, man.

No, no, no.

I think she's the one who seems to be lost.

How, why, I don't know.

But that will change.

I can change that.

Vargas, is it?

Yes? Walter Downs. I didn't mean to startle you.

That's all right.

They told me that they'd find you upstairs.

What can I do for you? Small matter. It's hardly worth your trouble.

I've been engaged by Miss Russell.

You mean Julia?

No. Emily.

Julia Pfister.

In Delaware.

I'm a private investigator.

I just recently arrived from Wilmington.

I understand. I mean, I know Miss Russell has been distressed, but we've

to her several weeks ago.

And I'm sure when she receives the letter, she will be much relieved.

Then Miss Julia is all right.

Yes, more than all right.

I'm more than Miss Julia.

She's Senora Vargas, who's my wife.

So you are married.

Yes. Ah.

That's very good news. Happily married.

Ah, yes, I can see that.

What a mystery a happy marriage is.

A bloom in the cheek, a spark in the eye.

It shows, I guess.

Oh, yes, indeed.

And Miss Russell will be pleased to hear of it.

I would appreciate it if you can tell her that.

I will indeed.

Thank you.

And I'll be all the more convincing in my report when I've met your wife.

Yes.

Why not?

Listen, we'll be home on Sunday afternoon.

You want to come by for a coffee?

Yes, I will.

And please, convey to your wife how much I am looking forward to seeing her.

Will.

Oh,

yes, please, outside.

Thank you.

Luis!

Oh,

just in time.

This one's for Sunday for sale, and this one's for weekdays. What do you think?

Fine.

Fine. And the rest?

This one I like.

What do you mean?

They're seven days in a week.

What about your trunk? Is there nothing in there?

No, nothing good.

Anyway, I've locked the key.

You'll get a locksmith. It's an easy job.

Actually, I don't do it myself.

I want to show you something. Come here.

You all have to leave now. I'm going to kiss my husband.

And then we're going to take a bath.

Gracias. Gracias.

Adios. Muchas gracias.

What do I do now?

My perfume.

No.

A cigar.

I tried one.

One of my cigars?

I wanted the taste of you in my mouth.

You have no shame at all.

No.

No, there's no shame in loving each other.

Do you love me, Julia?

Do you love me?

Or are you not the loving kind?

I forgot to tell you.

We have a visitor coming on Sunday.

Oh, you do?

Yes. A private investigator.

Coming all the way from Delaware.

Huh? Sir, Emily sent him?

Yeah.

Detective Downs.

Detective Downs, did you say?

Don't be worried.

He only needs to see that you're well and happy and truly my wife.

And then all this nonsense will be over. Oh, when will that damn bird stop its

screaming?

Julia.

It's coming, it's coming.

Hola, mi querido.

Mi chiquito.

Oh,

no.

No.

Oh, don Luis, look.

He's dead.

He was just singing.

Well, he's not singing now, you see.

Looks like he got his little neck broken.

Take him away.

I don't want Julia to see him.

Okay.

How does a person die on this instrument?

I believe that the turning of the wheel will break the neck of the person.

And if it doesn't, does the person then strangle?

Are you afraid?

No.

Juliet is not afraid.

But Bonnie... I don't understand.

Who is Bonnie?

Who is Bonnie?

I'm looking for Mr. Vargas.

That is a question that Louise would soon be asking.

Mr.

Vargas? My name is Russell.

Emily Russell.

I am Julia's sister.

So, you will understand how upset I was to receive this letter.

Upset?

I thought you would be pleased to receive it.

This letter, sir, which was written in answer to the one I last sent her, and

which is signed in her name, is not from Julia.

I mailed them myself.

This letter was not written by my sister. Miss Russell.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't be upset, please.

I swear to you... Well, swear as much as you like.

That is not Julia's handwriting.

That is the handwriting of a stranger.

A person unknown.

At least to me.

I was going to send for you. Where is she?

Go away, go away. Get out!

Where did she go, Sarah? I don't know. She told me to the post office, and when

I come back...

She's not coming back.

She's her.

She never was here.

She'll be married to a dream.

A dream that stores your soul.

What is it?

Your wife appeared at five minutes to three for a

last minute withdrawal.

As you have instructed us, I gave her full access to your account.

Your balance of closing time was $51 .40 in the one account, $10 in

the other.

And I explained to your wife to have closed them both out completely.

Your own signature would have been necessary.

Don't know we

Carino, God must have been angry with you the day he let you look in that

woman's face.

I want her back.

No, querido. What for?

What for you want her back again?

No, this is not a love story.

But it is a story about love.

About those who give in to it and the price they pay.

And those who run away from it because they are afraid.

Or because they do not believe they are worthy of it.

She ran away.

He gave him.

Mr. Vargas?

Yeah.

Vaulted down.

What a happy coincidence.

Oh, yeah.

I remember you.

And the authorities here?

They could do nothing.

After all, there was no crime.

She was my wife.

She just took what I had given her.

Your money.

And your love.

And you did not suspect.

Okay.

It seems that...

But I know a lot less about women than I thought I did.

And I know too much.

Consequently, not much use for them.

Apart from their necessities.

Real intercourse, I prefer the company of men.

Could you find her?

I'm at the moment engaged to find the real Julia, the one you were meant to

marry.

Have you found her?

Have you found her?

Not yet.

Well, if you do, if you do, she might lead you to the Julia you married.

Well, and vice versa.

As much as you want, I will pay.

If you can find her, me.

I know I won't.

Then I assume you have made up your losses.

As much as you want, I will pay, I said.

I will pay.

Yes, I believe you would.

And if I did find your Julia, if I brought her to you, or you to her,

What good would it possibly do you now?

Money's gone.

The love ruined.

What could you possibly want with her?

What could you possibly want?

What would that be?

You're reporting back, please.

Yeah. Yes, I do recall this lady.

Slim and dark and very... I remember coming along the deck and the breeze

catching her skirt. She was coming towards me. Then she quickly held it

with her hand.

And as she passed, she smiled.

I believe she was traveling with a troupe of American actors, touring the

island. Oh, yes.

I remember.

Because she rolled up some letters in her napkin.

I thought it was strange.

But then she explained it was for her bird.

She was traveling with a bird.

Oh, yes, yes. I remember her.

A lady with a bird cage.

But this doesn't look like her.

She was young and very pretty.

Oh, yes. That's her.

The real Julia never appears, because she is dead.

You mean murder?

Yes.

Or she could have had an accomplice.

These women often have an accomplice.

Someone she might use and then discard.

Someone who might even now be in pursuit of her, just as you and I are.

And this is where it happened.

Here. In Havana.

This way, gentlemen, and welcome to Havana.

Mr. Downs will be in room 37, and Mr. Vargas will be just down the hall in

42.

Thank you.

I'll hook myself up with the local authorities and see if any dead bodies

turned up recently.

You're welcome to join me.

No, thank you.

Havana is a very accommodating city, especially during carnival.

I suggest the opera restaurant, sir.

Just across the street.

Thank you.

It's very popular with the American tourists.

Why don't you do something pleasant tonight?

Treat yourself to a good dinner, a good cigar, and a good whore.

I prefer to be alone. Thank you.

So I'll leave you on your own then.

Good night.

Here you are.

Privacy and a view of the room.

If you see anything or anyone who interests you, let me know and I will

I can arrange.

Thank you.

If I could have my car. Every morning before I dress I would be very happy it

would change the day I Would be very happy very happy to change the day to

change the day Then that is what you shall have and we are married you shall

have everything Married your wife might have something to say about that

this way colonel civil play play indeed you silly mountebank About as French as

my asshole.

Edwin, curl your tongue.

Yes, ma 'am.

May I help you, sir?

Yes, sir.

I thought I saw an old friend of mine.

Colonel... Colin Worth?

Yes. Oh, yes, this way. No, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't bother him now.

Is he staying at the hotel?

No, he's at home in Havana.

He lives at Avenida Medios.

I believe his fiancée is at the hotel.

Yes, yes,

yes, I see.

Thank you.

But, my dear, you do.

Your annual expenditure is at $200 ,000 more or less. How do you know that?

Under favorable conditions, you could realize at least 1 .5 million pounds of

sugar. Oh. Worth, in good season, 5 pounds of paneer chicken. No, no, no,

Don't make me talk about business.

No.

I've been waiting for this all night.

Be kind, madame.

Be kind to an old man.

I am kind.

Kind as I've ever been.

Will you undo my dress, please?

Oh, yes, yes. Let me have that pleasure.

That's enough. Thank you.

Thank you.

For a wonderful evening. Good night.

No. Yeah.

I'll behave.

I'll only sit and watch you.

You see?

I sit.

And I watch.

Is that what you want? You know.

Mm -hmm.

You're very tiresome.

And I am very tired.

Good night.

No.

No. Good night.

No. Yes. Good night. No.

Mayn't I stay?

Please, let me stay.

Darling dove, I'm weeping.

My heart is pudding.

I'll go.

But my pudding is all broken.

Good night, my little dove.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

No, just you.

Oh, liar.

Liar.

Liar.

Oh, what is it then?

What was it? Yes.

What are your plans for me?

My plans?

Hmm.

There's my heart. Don't hesitate.

Do it.

Gone.

Like the woman you murdered.

Huh? No.

Yes. You were with her on that boat! Not that!

You were seen together!

I was not alone.

She told you all about me, didn't she? No!

I told him!

And he came to me the next morning and told me that she had met with an... And

was to take her place, and so I did.

Another man? Yes.

Accomplice? Friend?

Lover? Accomplice.

You saw us here.

That stage of the play.

My friend.

My accomplice.

Yes. Yes, my lover.

He was an actor.

Like myself, actors playing parts.

I told him that night. I told him I didn't want to go through with it.

I couldn't go through with it anymore.

Why not? Why not?

Because... Because I was... I was falling in love with my own husband.

Don't you see that? Don't you see how much I love -

How are you?

Really?

My name is Bonnie.

Bonnie Castle.

Bonnie Castle?

Is that your Christian name?

It would be.

If I were Christian.

But I'm not.

I was never baptized.

I was a foundling.

And so was Billy.

We were raised in an orphanage outside of St. Louis.

He gave me my name.

He saw it on a picture postcard from Scotland.

It had a drawing on it of a bonnie castle.

And we were 14.

We ran away together.

Like brother, sister, father, daughter, husband, wife.

And he was my salvation. No.

You are Julia Russell from Wilmington, Delaware.

You were born the day you stepped off that boat and became my wife.

But then... then I am not Julia Russell at all, am I?

I'm simply your wife.

Who is it?

It's Edwin, my dear.

Am I too early?

Don't hurry.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to wait for you outside your door.

Unless, of course, you were to let me in.

Colonel Wolfe. Good God.

May I help you, sir? You are not dressed, sir.

No, I am not.

I am engaged at the moment in a private function.

A function for which clothes are more of a hindrance than a help. A private

function? Yes, sir. A private function.

Good God, man.

I am being rude. Please come in.

No, sir. Are you mad?

Mad?

I am only curious to know what exactly is your business at my wife's door.

Your wife?

Did you say wife?

Edwin. Edwin, be careful.

He has a fearful temper.

I beg your pardon, sir.

I do.

I beg your pardon.

I'm an old fool.

I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

Well... Good morning to you, sir.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

You see?

You have no past.

You have only me now.

Morning.

There you are.

What in your room this morning?

I have some very interesting news. So do I.

Cuerpo de mujer hallado.

Woman's body found.

Foul play suspected.

How's my Spanish?

Julia Ruffin.

Stabbed in the neck with a small knife and then thrown overboard.

Probably the work of a man, but could have easily been a woman.

The blade of the knife was still in her throat.

And so your wife is now officially a fugitive.

Not only you and I pursuing her, but the police as well.

Cheer up, man. This is good news.

Won't be long now before she's caught.

She didn't do this.

I believe you still love her, don't you?

Of course.

How could you hate her so much if you did not still love her?

Trust me, my friend, there is no such thing as love.

There are only misguided feelings and emotions.

It was my knife. He used my knife.

Yes, yes.

It wasn't me, I promise you. I believe you.

No one else will. No one will believe that I'm innocent.

Listen to me.

No one else matters.

Not to me.

Welcome to Cardenas.

Right this way. This is the entrance.

It's very elegant.

In a very good part of town.

Mostly Americans and tourists from the continent.

I think you'll find all the furnishings you need here.

A bedroom, a sitting room, a very good kitchen.

You're in Cardenas.

You're close to Havana, but very far away.

We are known for the water and for the healing powers of the sun.

Vargas. What a happy accident.

Yes, yes, indeed.

What brings you to Cardenas?

Not a rescuer, I assure you.

No, of course not.

There were reports of a woman answering a certain description. She was seen

boarding a train heading east. You haven't seen or heard anything, have

I have lost my taste.

for women of that description.

Ah, glad to hear of it.

Listen, can I offer you a piñales?

What's that?

A drink.

There is a cafe down the street.

The sun is warm.

Your faith, for instance, is quite moist.

The body was positively identified by her sister.

Very sad, but very accurate.

Two moles high on the inner thigh, gold crown on the back tooth.

And on her left hand, a small, round scar.

Very interesting.

Excuse me.

I have to use the convenience.

By all means.

Do as you must.

Julia? Julia!

Come upstairs!

Ah,

Louise.

I am disappointed.

And yet, full of admiration.

Where is she?

She's not here.

Wait, wait, wait. You have no business here.

Please, be smart and leave. Get out while you still can. She's mine, Louise.

Give her up before it's too late.

You are a criminal.

And you are very close to becoming a criminal yourself.

Come to your senses, man.

Well, you saw it. She is not here. Now, please, please don't lie to me, Mr.

Vargas.

I can smell her on you.

Her perfume.

stinking on your clothing.

You just left her, didn't you?

But that's it. Get out. Get out.

Throw her arms around you.

Embrace you like this.

Did she rub her teeth against yours like this?

Did she kiss you on the mouth?

If I kiss you now, will I taste her on you?

The detective.

He came here for you.

What are you doing? Don't touch him.

Don't touch him!

Did he come here alone?

Yes.

No one saw him come in?

I... I... I... I don't know.

Oh, Christ, Julia.

I've killed a man.

You need to go now. Go to the train station.

Secure two seats on the morning train east, no matter where.

And I will contact the estate agent and tell them that we've changed our minds

and there's been an emergency.

Julia.

And I just bought a hat.

But I don't dwell on it. I don't go around saying over and over in my head,

just bought a hat, I just bought a hat. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

No, you need to go to the station before the window closes.

Come here.

Put these on. Yes, yes, yes. I'll hurry.

No, don't hurry.

You go slowly.

Enjoy the walk. Then no one will notice you.

You understand?

Yes.

Go where you deserve.

Jesus!

Aren't you glad to see me?

Aren't you glad to see old Detective Downs again?

Should I be?

I got very good notice he was playing this part in Chicago.

Why don't you remember?

I can't remember.

I was really dead.

Didn't you?

Did you think they were real bullets in that gun?

Huh? Did you think they were real the night he came to murder you?

I couldn't risk his putting out your life.

Not before I got up with him.

Get over there.

Never. Not until you come back on the game.

What game? The skin game, darling. The skin game.

There is no game. Oh, yes?

I see it so clearly.

What do you see?

I see him running out of money.

I see you arranging that.

I see him doing the only thing he can do. I see him going to Santiago, selling

his share of the company.

I see him coming back with...

I see us finishing what we started.

You and me together, we're going to make you a rich widow.

No.

He's worth a hell of a lot more than we got out of him the first time, darling.

And he's such an empty mark, devoted as he is to you, bound together as you are

by mutual crimes and various misdemeanors.

Let go of me, please. Beg. Please let go.

Beg.

It tickles my dick when you beg.

He says he loves me.

No one loves you, Bonnie.

No one could.

Except for me.

He does.

of a fugitive.

Back alleys, cheap hotels.

It won't be like that. Well, how then? Happily ever after.

A nice, respectable couple living on Main Street.

Sunday dinners, walks in the park with children.

Christ, what's he done to you?

Who do you think you are?

Who do they think you are?

first man, Bonnie.

Your very first.

And I will be your last.

One way or another.

There's no future with him, darling.

Face the truth.

You can't live his life.

He's certainly...

No.

Julia? Julia?

I was so hungry

What about him?

Got to get rid of the body.

No, it's done.

It's done?

You mean you did it yourself?

I packed all our things as well. I left one suit out on the bed for the train.

So did you get the tickets?

The tickets, yes, yes.

What about tomorrow in the morning?

Back to Havana.

Seven o 'clock, yes.

You must be exhausted.

I know I am. Wait, wait, wait.

Have you no conscience at all?

I mean... Yes, of course I do.

But you see, I don't let it get the best of me.

It's just something that happened.

Something that had to be done.

When something has to be done, you do it, right? So here to us a short life,

anyone Listen

to

her talk Listen to the words that come out of her mouth You mean Bonnie?

Yes, Bonnie

Did you have no control over her?

No one had control over her.

No one did.

No one.

Except for Billy.

And he wanted the rest of the money.

They found a house in the poor section of town.

Bonnie said they would go and notice there.

She was right.

There were many things that would go unnoticed in that house.

All she had to do was get Louis to Santiago.

And it would all be over.

No, no, you don't understand.

We've run out?

Yeah. I'm going tomorrow to Santiago.

I'm going to take the first train in the morning.

What will you do then?

We need money, don't we?

Whatever you say.

Oh, no.

Come on.

I don't want you to go to Santiago.

I don't want you to go.

I have no choice.

Yes, you do. You have a choice.

Once again.

When my hand strays to my breath.

My heart.

My left eardrop.

Diamonds. My right eardrop.

Gloves. My throat.

Spades. Little finger on my left hand.

One. Little finger on my right hand.

Ten. When I do this, it means I have nothing.

Oh, you're a natural.

Listen to me. This is the way. This is the only way. This is our way.

Have you and me together.

Please.

Now, tell me what I'm holding.

Too rich for me.

Yes. Why not?

Why not, indeed.

All right.

He wins again.

Sorry, gentlemen.

More champagne.

Does the lady mind if I remove my coat?

No, do and save you, please.

Try and forget that I am even here.

Easier said than done.

I'll see you, too, and I'll raise you, too. Will

you

ask the lady to retire, sir?

What do you mean?

Do you have to be told?

Take your hand from my wife, please, sir.

If there's one thing lower than a man who will cheat at cards, it's a man who

will use a woman to do his cheating for him.

Let's see what other tricks you might know.

Yes.

Should I... Should I call someone?

You're so kind.

You're so young, innocent, and kind.

No. No one is innocent.

You have a story as well.

Will you tell me?

If there's time.

I have no story.

Not like yours.

It was Bonnie's story now.

And look what she had done.

He could not live in her world.

And she would never fit into his.

Dear Alan, congratulations.

You have just purchased my share of Vargas Jordan Coffee Export House.

The price I have settled on is everything that was in the safe, which I

is very much in your favor.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I couldn't wait to discuss this with you, but as you may know, I am

now a fugitive from justice.

More than that, cannot say.

What are you talking about?

Murder.

I have done murder.

No. Yes.

I did it for her.

And the truth is that I will do it again.

Good luck to you.

And thank you for having well been, my friend.

You let me a cigar.

I'm gonna get some coffee.

Oh, damn!

What happened?

He's a rat.

Rat? He's a rat. He ran right over my foot.

Do you see it?

I didn't see him.

No. What are you doing?

I'm going to the pharmacy.

Is it that one?

It's nine o 'clock. It's closed.

Yeah, there's one at the plaza that opens at five o 'clock.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I won't be long.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can't save him, darling, if that's what you're thinking. Why not?

Why can't we just go?

I have two tickets for us on the train.

Tonight, midnight, we have the money.

Leave him.

Oh, Bonnie, it doesn't suit you, that kind of compassion.

How could I trust you, hmm?

There'd always be someone else between us. Why? Why hurt him?

He's a part of you that must die.

You need to kill him, or I promise you.

It will kill you.

What are you doing?

Billy. I'm going back there with you.

I'm going to finish the job and have done with it.

There's a police all over us. Do as you're told.

Do it now.

You startled me.

It took a long time.

What are you doing in the dark?

Thinking. What are you thinking?

I was thinking that if I ever lost you, my life would be over.

There would be nothing left for me.

Don't say such things.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Yes, I did.

I had to go all the way across town.

I'm going to go change.

Wash your hands and go to bed.

I'll bring the coffee.

There you are.

How did they die, do you think?

From the poison?

Yes.

I don't know.

Did it take a long time?

I suppose it depends on how much you give them.

That sounds right.

Is it painful?

I really don't want to think about it.

No.

No, no, no, of course not.

We don't want our conscience to get the better of us, do we?

Something that has to be done.

And when something has to be done, you do it.

Is your coffee too hot?

I saw him.

Who?

I followed you.

You saw who? Where?

How would I play the game?

The truth is bad.

All right.

Is he here?

Yes.

Where?

Outside, waiting, when I turn the lights off.

When I'm dead?

I led him to you in Havana, didn't I?

Yes.

How did he know I wouldn't kill you then?

You put blank article in your gun.

Behind my back, the two of you.

Did you laugh at me for how stupid I have been? How... How blind?

No.

Laugh now when I tell you this.

I loved you, Julia.

Julia is not here. Julia is dead.

And laugh when I tell you that I still love you.

No. No, not me.

You don't love me.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. You.

Not Julia Russell. Not Bonnie Castle.

You.

I love you as I know you.

Because I know you.

As you are.

I told you this already, but you didn't believe me.

Tonight you will.

To us.

A short life.

One exciting life.

Don't do this.

Don't ever change.

No, no, no!

Oh!

Disappoint me, Bonnie.

What do you think?

Do you think those are real bullets?

Do you speak English? Do you speak English? Yes.

He needs a doctor.

What about him?

He's dead.

He needs a doctor.

All right.

I'm calling the police.

Vengo, amigo.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

And this is where the story ends.

At least for me.

Even though he is alive now.

How could I get to him?

Do you believe in forgiveness?

Yes. And redemption for the human soul?

Even for someone like me?

Yes.

I believe so.

Well, then, I will see him in heaven, won't I?

Yes.

Will you hand me my shawl, please?

Yes, of course.

Pray with me.

I wore this for my wedding day.

My hopes, not everything.

Watch the video.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

It is time.

If I may.

What the hell?

The priest.

But he left an hour ago.

I saw him.

Guys! Guys!

Well, I must say, it's a pleasure to be in such a lovely company for a change.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine.

And thank you, gentlemen, for letting me attend.

And you,

sir, may I say, it's a lucky man who has found such a wife.

Yes, I am.

And perhaps...

Later on, I will tell you the story of how we came to be here.

It is an interesting tale.

Some of it is even true.

But for now, all I can say is that from the moment I saw her, I

loved her.

And no matter the price.

You cannot walk away from love.

Here I am before you, naked in your

eyes,

hoping with each kiss you will never see through my

eyes.

To the left.

Lips against my skin.

No need to regret.

How can pleasure ever be a sin?
