Subtitles generated by - LustyCinema.li Rufirio Rubirosa, the day I received one of the worst news of my life, in my life I had two great vices, women and my country,

those two made me so famous that they say that Ian Fleming was inspired in my life to create the legendary Jane Bond.

It was always like that, the pleasure, the duty, the pleasure of life and the life of others, my father was a master in both, the pleasure and the duty.

Although for him, it was his duty first.

He taught me how to be a tiger,

as the real men say in my land.

Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?

He could've been killed and hurt by a horse.

Why the hell do you want to know how to conquer a woman?

You never know, Dad.

It's the same with the tiger.

Pay close attention.

The most important thing with a woman

is to make her feel unique,

as if she were your universal kingdom.

There are men who think that in order to conquer,

you have to be tough, but no, gentlemen.

Toughness and strength are for war.

Tell me how war is.

War? Oh, my son.

In my land, there was a battle that seemed to have no end.

Bollos and Colubo,

the two official parties that fought in the war

as fighting roosters,

and the Dominican Republic,

The woman everyone wanted to conquer.

The political instability of my country

put the U.S. dollar bills in danger.

And the gringos decided to take control of the situation.

That was very bad for one.

No, no, no!

But it was an opportunity for others.

Who is that man?

Well, that's a fella named Trujillo.

Hey, boy.

He's our foreman here at the sugar mill.

Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina.

The Tiger, the one who snatched the female

that everyone wanted to conquer.

Are we ready?

Come on, woman. It's Paris.

It's not the end of the world.

It's a change of life.

You'll learn a lot of new things there.

New friends, new experiences.

You'll like it.

We'll be happy to live in a big city for a while.

Let's go.

And as I began to understand

what France had to offer me,

In my country, the two great loves of my life were born.

Maybe he's got the baby in there.

He'd better.

He's got to be a real digger like his father.

Calm down.

If he's a real digger, congratulations.

God willing, I'm just worried about Maria and the baby.

What if they don't open?

Mom called me the chandelier.

Let's get to work.

You're so beautiful.

It's called a gold flower.

The gringos ended up leaving the Dominican Republic.

And in those plans,

not only Trujillo was rising in his career...

Mr. President,

Rafael Trujillo's unit is at your service.

We were all growing up,

getting closer to the moment when our lives would cross.

The fundamental principles of human dignity,

the empire of law, justice, and solidarity.

That's great, Candelaria. Congratulations, honey.

and it's necessary to drive a truly participatory democratic system

for the people.

And that was me.

What can I do for you?

If we can serve the country

from the profession we chose,

without more ambitions,

we'll surely be good allies.

What do you mean, General?

I honestly think

that weapons and shifts aren't a good combination.

I'm afraid the next elections will be contaminated with guns.

I can assure you there's nothing to be afraid of.

I know how to serve my country, and that's my priority.

Besides, I can count on you to defend the Dominican Republic.

Let's say I'm now dedicated to family matters,

taking care of my youngest son, who's in France.

Where there should be young people who want to educate themselves,

with an enlightened mind.

In fact, there's my daughter, Flor, too.

What a nice coincidence.

Porfirio can make his daughter's life easier in Paris.

He's an excellent guide.

That's all I'd like to know.

Let's get him in touch.

This is the beginning of a long friendship

between the Trujillo and the Rubirosas.

Raise your hands!

Keep your guard up!

Move it!

Do the job!

Sir, I'm ready.

I have a telegram from the Dominican ambassador.

Apparently, your father arranged for you to meet in Paris

with a

fighting contestant in distress.

Like it's charming.

Right on the day of the tournament.

Come on.

You're not going to believe it's an excuse

to not fight.

You're in for it, Mr. Rubirosa.

And the fight is this afternoon.

So you forget your appointment.

That's it, go ahead.

Let me fight first.

I really need to go to this meeting.

You'll start this afternoon.

Only one condition.

That you fight against Dagbert.

There's no danger of following me,

because at no time will the investigation

that can help me with the results of the May commission

serve to tyrannize the will of the people

to which I stand at this moment

and to which I will be loyal in the future,

said General Trujillo.

Worried about the future of the country.

Honestly, Ambassador,

politics is very important to me.

What I do care about, however,

is that young Rubirosa leaves me here waiting.

He said he'd be here at 3.

Don't worry, though.

Rodolfo Valentino, who taught us the way to seduction.

Bring in our dear Valentino.

And you, too, so I can slap you.

Did you bring the letter?

Here's your letter.

Read it.

Dear son, I hope you know you've disappointed me greatly.

You don't owe me anything, Dr. Hermano.

And that's how I got back to my beloved Dominican Republic.

Oh my God.

And dad, where are you?

I've been thinking for months about how to punish you when I get there.

Dad, I just...

I'm sick because of you.

Since I found out about your irresponsibilities, my heart hurts.

Don't say that.

But even though he's in pain, he still knows how to be happy.

Because at last, you're shameless.

I'm willing to change.

And I'm more than willing to demand it from you.

Your happy years are over.

They were a crazy year, son.

Dad shouldn't smoke with all that.

He's the last one.

Your arrival deserves it.

So you can see it's true.

He's been with me almost all my life.

And as the Constitution of the Dominican Republic of 1844 says,

in the name of God, one and trinity,

author and supreme legislator of the universe.

You're late, Rubirosa.

Excuse me, Professor.

Have a seat, please.

That's the life of Caprichosa.

She was there.

Candelaria Venavente.

And the only place the hall was empty was next to her.

Mr. Rubirosa,

Why invoke God there in the preamble of the Law of Law?

Because that's where authority comes from, Professor.

Very clerical, young man.

But yes, that's why.

But why not invoke the people as the French did?

Because the people are nothing here?

It's a way of saying it, miss.

But it's not a legal argument.

Young people in the next class

prepare a composition between the two preambles.

The one in the Dominican Constitution.

And the one in the French Constitution.

1791, right?

That's right, Rubirosa.

Well, young men, have a good day, my dear future lawyers

and my dear housewife.

Lawyer, Professor.

Someone who defends his ideals with so much impetus

deserves to have the title of lawyer

much more than any of us who are here.

I completely agree with what you said.

The people of this country are nobles.

If Trujillo is elected, things will get worse.

That's right.

Do you have a partner?

I'm just saying what the professor told us.

It's a couple thing.

I mean, if you have time, we can get together.

I work alone.

People are intimidated by a housewife

who knows more than I do.

That's right. I love learning from women.

I'm happy to learn from you.

What do you say? Shall we get married?

General Trujillo.

You've set me up in this place

to complain about my son's lack of commitment

to his daughter, Flor.

No, I have her set up, but to your son, not you.

I want to talk to you about much more important things.

It has to do with what we talked about before.

With democracy.

The elections are coming.

Let them talk the votes in the polls and let them win.

The problem, General Rovirosa,

is that there's no better one here.

I really like the Progressive National Alliance.

Velasquez and Morales are an excellent duo.

Unfortunately, they're not a strong hand for this country.

Don't you think this country has had enough strong hands?

Look, General, in the Dominican Republic,

you have to implement good.

And good doesn't come on its own.

You have to impose it.

And if it's necessary, you have to impose it by force.

I just need the support of people like you.

You have an excellent opinion of yourself, General.

What you're asking me is more than what this country

has lived through.

As the saying goes,

whoever's not with me is against me.

Are you threatening me?

No, no, no.

If you want to see it that way,

politics is the confrontation of various forces.

I have the strength to decide about you,

about your family, your house, your properties.

Think about it, General.

That bastard wants to take the presidency no matter what.

The plan is very simple.

We're going to attack him head on.

We'll add 500 men to you.

So I want you to be ready.

Do we agree?

He went out to meet General Trujillo

and came back just like that.

He didn't want to tell us what happened.

Leave me alone with my son.

He's been in power for many years.

He's dangerous.

He's very dangerous.

He went up to power to see Sirano Benavente.

Alright, gentlemen.

Here's our new collaborator,

Mr. Pablo's son, who's resting in peace.

Porfirio Rubirosa.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

We have to get into action immediately.

Nice to meet you. I'm Hector Benavente.

She's my daughter Candelaria.

Nice to meet you.

I'm very sorry about your father.

I didn't know about your grandfather.

Thank you.

Alright, gentlemen.

The pamphlets are ready and so are the people with the ads.

All we need right now is massive spread.

If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

This is the moment.

Ladies and gentlemen, the last bet!

You wanted the crowd, here you are.

I have to admit you did a good job.

Hand out your pamphlets. I'll distract the crowd.

Ladies and gentlemen, the last fight of the night!

All the savages against Diablo Rojo!

Make your bets!

Come on, all the savages!

Are you the organizer of this event?

Yes, sir.

But I have nothing to do with the demonstration.

You know the law is clear and prohibits this kind of thing.

There has to be equality for all candidates.

People are protesting democratically and peacefully.

No, not like that.

To her.

Grab that woman.

Let's go. To her.

Get out of there.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

How long has it been since I last saw you, Marta Marquez?

Rafael Leonidas.

If you came to Santo Domingo,

you should remember some old times

because you invited me here.

There are better places for that.

I know, but I didn't come looking for a single night.

I came to explain why I've spent so much time thinking of you.

Do you see that creature over there?

It's yours.

No, Marta.

You're not going to give me a child.

You're not going to give me your husband's daughter.

First, my husband died.

He died thinking it was his.

And second, it's not the girl.

It's the boy who's playing with him.

A boy?

A little boy.

A boy like me?

Like you.

Which one?

Look over there.

The one you see there.

He looks like me?

His dad's name is Rafael, just like you.

But I call him Rampis.

Rampis, come here.

He looks like me, right?

Tell me, Mom.

I told you.

Go hug your dad.

Oh, Rafael.

He's just like you.

What do you have there?

Leave that. Nothing's wrong.

What's this?

I don't know.

Education is a right to everything.

That's why we fight.

That must be your father.

Come in.

Good afternoon.

Any news?

Everything's fine around the house.

There's nothing strange about the surroundings.

That's good.

They're still repressing the people.

The members of the board gave up.

They say there's no guarantee, and so are our candidates.

Well, it's time to wait.

The most important thing now is to get Alvarez out of the country.

I think it'd be dangerous to leave him here.

Emanuel can help us with that.

He knows a few fishermen who have a boat

and we can get him out of one of the islands.

Yes, and I can talk to someone I trust.

Puerto Rico isn't far away.

That would be of great help.

We'll look for other options.

There are several options, but I think we should talk later.

I like Rubirosa.

I want you to keep the information safe.

This is your girlfriend's.

Guarantee for a true opposition

under the tyrant.

That's how you say it.

Let's go, girls.

Let's go.

I'll stay.

See you later.

Now that Trujillo was president,

we had a plan.

We'd get close to him and infiltrate him.

That's why I came up with an idea.

Mr. President,

Thank you for accepting my invitation.

It's my pleasure.

It's nice to see you win, Rovinoza.

Yes, sir.

I accepted your father's apology

for his impoliteness in Paris,

but my daughter didn't receive yours.

I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't mean to offend or upset your son.

The thing is, I had some commitments with some friends

and you know how Parisian nights are.

I understand.

They've told me a lot about the French and their charms.

What else do you do, Rubirosa?

Law school. I like polo.

I like to race cars.

I have free time. I also organize boxing fights.

And I like to have a good time with the Tigers.

So you don't do anything?

That could change.

If you're thinking of forming an elite group

with good family members who speak different languages...

You want to belong to my army?

It would be an honor for me.

My army is complete.

You'd better do what you know

to conquer women of dubious reputations.

Have a good day, Mr. Rubio Osan.

Good afternoon, Mr. President.

Trujillo turned the curse of the hurricane into a blessing.

The dreadful picture that my sight has been offered

as soon as the fury of the wind allowed me to throw myself in the street

has broken my deepest heart.

Tears came out of my eyes that I never dreamed of spilling.

But aware of my responsibilities,

I have concentrated all my energy

in helping all the inhabitants of the Dominican Republic.

My people have never stayed or will stay without the help of the government.

This is how Trujillo needed more men in the army for the reconstruction of the country.

I welcome you to the army.

Your people

You need them.

What are you doing here, Rubirosa?

I came to show you that I was serious

and that I'm willing to serve my country.

Just as I had told Trujillo when I enlisted in the army,

many of the upper class followed me.

And please extend your invitation to your friends.

But I warn you one thing.

I will not allow the vacation

to all those who commit the crime of vagance.

I'm going to make them work twice as hard.

These two boys, Rubirosa and Cuello,

get them out of here. I want them from De Cana.

Gentlemen, Cuello and Rubirosa,

you two stay there.

The rest,

get out of here and long live the boss!

Long live!

My sons, are you done with reality?

From now on, you're assigned to the de Cana body

of the presidency.

So, take all your belongings,

I'm going to live in the palaces of the palace.

Sir, yes, sir!

Sir, yes, sir!

The president's daughter arrives tomorrow.

From Paris.

The boss wants his entire committee to accompany her.

Follow me.

Gold flower, isn't that what the boss's daughter's name is?

If it's true that she has the gold flower,

it must be pure gossip.

I'm going to tell you something.

I'm going to tell you only once.

The boss has important plans with his daughter.

It's not true that a couple of idiots will get close to her.

And whoever does it dies.

Bless you, Dad.

God bless you.

Welcome, Flor.

We're very happy you're back.

I have a surprise for you.

What are you doing here?

I thought that would make Flor happy,

seeing his mother.

You're my wife now.

You shouldn't have invited her.

Leave her alone.

Flor is happy.

Go with your father.

Do you remember the man who sent you to the embassy in France?

Of course.

Here he is.

Porfirio Rubirosa.

I'm sorry, miss.

That day...

Don't apologize for anything.

You've lost your chance.

You belong to my army.

And you're strictly forbidden to say a word to my daughter.

Yes, sir.

Well, if the young man is really sorry,

maybe he'll come up with something to make up for his mistake.

Well, when you think of one, tell me so I can do it.

And the plan was working.

I became Trujillo's private Edekan.

You should come with me, sweetie.

I couldn't stand it if something happened to you.

We have to continue with the cause.

Take good care of yourself.

Look, this will take care of you

so you can remember your grandfather and me.

Stay with him.

You'll return it to me when we're a family.

Don't worry, Mr. Benavente.

I'll take care of her.

I'll take care of him, no matter how close he is to Trujillo.

You're right.

You're too close to completing the mission.

Are you sure about what you're going to do?

I'm sure.

I promise you and Dr. Alvarez will be able to come from New York

and enjoy free country life.

The rice with milk is delicious.

Thank you.

It's my favorite dessert.

In France they call it riole,

but the peasants only eat it.

I'd love for you to teach me how to speak French, Flor.

There are a lot of words that sound similar,

but you don't know them.

I'm very tired after riding the horse all day.

Excuse me.

Come with me.

Thank you.

Good night.

You too.

What do you think?

I'm here. I have patience.

I can't.

See you tomorrow, Guillermo.

Good night, Mr. President.

Good night, Mrs. Velardina.

Good night.

See you tomorrow, Velardina.

What happened?

Nothing, dad. I was drinking a digestive tea and the cup slipped.

Sorry if I woke you up.

Look, don't worry about me. I didn't cut myself or anything. Thank you for asking.

Let's go.

Hey, how nice is everything?

A little.

Miss, would you like to dance?

Oh no, thank you. Maybe later.

Look, Nina, the last party, the same thing.

Don't you want to find a boyfriend?

No. I'm too young for that.

Oh, if you were bored, you were. Or you were too young.

But look, you have your partner, he's waiting for you at the other table.

Is that him?

The ambassador told him. There he comes, there he comes.

Oh no!

I'm Arthur Schoenfeld Jr.

Uh, could you write me down on your dance book?

Look, but you do dance.

I just like good dancers. Very, very good.

And I like good dancers.

That's why I want to dance with you several times.

So you can teach me.

Gentlemen, I've been thinking about this difficult issue

of Haitians in our country for a few days now.

It pains me that my compatriots suffer

from the unmeasured invasion of our neighbors.

Their presence in the country obscures the panorama,

and I won't allow it.

I'll force them to leave the country,

even if it's by force.

My boys and I are responsible

I want the Dominicans to live in peace and harmony.

May I have a piece, miss?

You'd have to sign my dance license first, sir.

Rules are rules.

Nina, honey, how are you?

I don't know what to do.

Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of everything.

You're beautiful.

You think so?

Say that again.

You're beautiful.

Don't move.

Stay there!

You! Someone passed by!

I'm not sure.

Look, you're talking to an authority!

Did you see or didn't anyone pass by?

It was dark.

The boss is looking from there.

I'll repeat the question.

Did someone pass by here?

I think someone ran that way.

Go that way.

Don't move, damn it.

I can't leave you here alone.

Don't move!

Don't move, damn it!

I need your help.

You're going to kill me out of anguish, Porfirio.

That man was your father's enemy.

If my father were alive,

I'd be proud of the problem I got myself into.

I don't understand.

You'll understand someday.

For now, I just need you to help me.

Help you in what?

In giving Trujillo a face.

But that man is looking for you to kill you.

You're proposing a wedding.

That's right, President.

Flor and I love each other,

and I want to have a family with your daughter.

And with all honesty, it's the best thing for everyone.

So I ask for your blessing.

Marry you with gold flower Trujillo.

It's the only alternative we have to continue with our plan.

That way I'll be able to be close to Trujillo without him watching me all the time.

You don't have to do it, but I know I don't agree.

I thought you were proud of me.

This reaffirms my commitment to the cause.

I definitely admire you for sacrificing yourself there, but...

Are you afraid that Trujillo will kill me? That he will discover me?

That's not it. What if you fall in love?

Thank you.

I'm so happy.

They're my golden bridesmaids.

They're like family to me.

They're like family to me, too.

What's going on?

Long live the bridegroom!

Long live the bridegroom!

What are they doing? It's not my party anymore.

They're good friends. He invented them.

Damn it!

Now it turns out my son-in-law is mixed with a black man and a witch.

Would you like me to take care of them?

I hope I didn't make a mistake by supporting you at this wedding.

Don't worry. Everything will be fine, Mom.

May you be very happy, my love.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Well, guys, this is my gift.

It looks small, but I assure you it's as big as I want it to be.

That's a fortune, boss.

It is a fortune, but it's not entirely yours.

I'm going to open an account in the bank

and you won't be able to withdraw a single dollar

without my authorization.

Thank you very much.

Let me go!

What are you doing here, my children?

We weren't doing anything wrong.

It was Porfirio who invited us to his wedding.

You bastard.

Do you think the boss cares about that?

You're not guests and you're not welcome in this country.

But this is the country where our children were born!

Besides, we're not doing anything wrong.

Do you think we don't know you have opposers in your house?

I just confirmed that look.

Take him away.

Let go of me, damn it!

Help! Let go of me!

That day when Aguacero fell and the streets turned red

Not only did I baptize the rivers of blood

that were about to run in my country,

but I also hoped that my marriage

with the dictator's daughter wouldn't be particularly peaceful.

I can't believe I have to run away from my own father.

You have to go now.

Trujillo's people are looking for you to kill you.

What are you more concerned about?

Me being killed or your family finding out

that you're trying to betray them?

I can't believe you're asking me that.

I don't care what that family thinks.

I care about you, Gisele.

What are we going to do?

What about our plans?

When are we going to return this country to its people?

We will.

This country will belong to the people.

We'll never see each other again.

I promise.

Who's coming?

The US ambassador?

Don't worry.

Today's visitors are going to take care of your responsibilities.

This is your brother, Ramfy.

He's coming to live with us.

Hi, Golden Flower.

I'm Marta...

The new lover of my father.

No, I'm Ranfis Trujillo's mother.

Look, dear, this is your sister Flor de Oro.

I have to say hello to her, Dad.

You're as good as your father, Susy.

Son, put something in your head.

Do you see what's in there?

This palace and everything else in there belongs to you.

You're the only son of the most important man

in the Dominican Republic, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo.

Come in, honey.

Your father. Thank you.

Sir, you can't be here.

Please leave.

What happened here?

Everyone's dead.

My friends also fell in Trujillo's Holocaust.

What I didn't know yet was that it was partly to save my skin.

Mr. Rivirosa, why are you worried about some Haitian blacks?

They and the dogs are the same shit.

Mr. Rivirosa, what's wrong with you?

Where the hell were you?

I called you a while ago.

I need to talk to the president of Haiti.

I want him to translate.

Get in touch with President Vincent.

Mr. President?

There was no participation

neither of my government nor of my army in the death of that person.

We are concerned about the disappearance of our Haitian brothers.

By the way, they were illegally in the country.

However, there may have been negligence of the force of order

to control the violence of the people against their citizens.

We will investigate until this case is cleared.

So I agree with the United States, with Cuba, with Mexico.

I am willing to indemnify Haiti

with the amount of one million American dollars.

Even if money has nothing to do with this tragedy,

we want to indemnify the families of victims

with a million dollars.

Not a penny more.

As well as all our support.

What would be gross,

apart from the fact that one has to clean the country

you have to make up for it.

Not even a friend's message.

Anyway, an American million dollars...

What are you doing here?

I came to look for my husband.

Is your husband working?

Yes, Dad. He's very urgent.

I'm sorry.

Okay, take him away.

From afar, it looks like he hasn't worked.

Look at him.

He's all discolored and sweaty.

But you did something good for your country today, Rubirosa.

What was I supposed to do?

Why the hell did you go there?

I don't get it. Tell me, damn it!

Your father is a murderer.

He ordered the death of Emile de Haitiano.

They killed Mina, Emanuel, and their children, damn it!

Good people, innocent people.

Your father is a dictator.

And you want us to have children,

to give a grandchild to that son of a bitch?

I'm not like him. You know that.

After Trujillo, Florillo and I left the country like pariahs.

This is your home.

I won't miss a thing here.

Thank you, cousin.

I'm going to get some drinks to celebrate.

I was told Pichu lived poorly, but I didn't think so.

I know it's terrible, but don't worry.

This is temporary.

I promise we'll be living in a park soon.

Don't punish me anymore, honey.

It hasn't been easy.

I know, but forget about it.

I'm sorry.

For the lady.

After losing everything, I had to work for the first time.

I had no choice but to do it in a place

where I could feel at home.

Thank you.

Same here.

What are you doing here?

Give me whiskey. Thank you.

This is too much money for a whiskey.

With all my love and gratitude, please accept it.

I can't accept it.

One for another, Ruby. Please accept it.

Thank you, but I'll return it.

This deserves a celebration. Let's have a drink.

No, but it's not for you to drink it.

Don't worry.

The house is paid, honey. Cheers.

You'll never change.

I'm glad to see you.

Flor, I want to talk to you.

I have something to tell you.

I'm so happy, Mom.

This way, Mr. Rubirosa.

Come in.

Did you really think the party needed you as a deputy?

Boss, I didn't know you were here.

No one knows I'm here in the United States.

And don't tell me, boss, that you don't feel under my control.

What's going on?

I know everything that's going on, even here in New York.

Look at that address.

It's here in New York.

There lives a guy named Gabriel Álvarez.

A fool who's making an alliance to overthrow me.

What do I have to do with all this?

If you want me to forgive you for everything you did to my daughter,

you'll have to prove to me that you're good for something

and that you're on my side.

What do you mean? I'm not a...

What? A son of a bitch?

Yes, you're a son of a bitch.

And you're very lucky.

Whether I like it or not, you're my son-in-law.

And because the Rubirosa family lives thanks to me.

If you want your mother to keep enjoying that good life

in peace and tranquility, you're going to be a fool.

Trujillo is offering a lot of money to kill Alvarez.

I need to see you.

Let's go.

Get up there.

I'll be back in a minute.

Hurry up.

Stay with Candelaria.

I'll be right there.

Supposedly, Benavente's murder

would bring the Americans down to earth.

But the political climate in Europe ended up benefiting Trujillo.

The fascist threat that Hitler and Mussolini embodied

made the United States not want to risk the relationship with its allies.

And of course, Trujillo was one of them.

May I introduce you to the Dominican ambassador?

Freud Meek, Porfirio Rubirosa.

And this is my wife, Flor de Oro Trujillo.

General Rafael Lianidas Trujillo shares the ideology of the Führer.

and has Mr. Nubirosa as a sign of support for history.

He invites you for dinner in the embassy.

I am amazed that subhumans share the opinion of the Führer.

I have no time for your invitations.

We don't miss each other.

Excuse me.

Germany was nervous all over the world,

but in Berlin the atmosphere was festive

with the premiere of one of the first films in honor of Hitler.

I hope someone tells them they're at home, Neidhauser.

We're happy to accept your invitation.

You're a wonderful woman.

Thank you.

Yes, you're welcome.

Thank you for the invitation.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Führer!

Yes, yes.

Nice foam, a big glass.

And in the Dominican Republic, the Dominican people don't like beer very much.

I don't smoke.

No, I don't smoke.

Yes, I don't smoke.

I'm very cold, I don't smoke.

I'm much better in the hotel.

But we have the best beer in Germany anyway.

Where are you?

Did you really think you could fool me like that?

Let's see, Porfirio.

I'll send you the information.

You get into trouble and you don't get me a damn thing.

I was doing exactly what you asked me to do.

Here are the complaints sent by the German ambassador.

To start, so he won't have a problem with me in New York.

And to understand that the Third Reich and Hitler

see us as cockroaches and will never be their allies.

And now?

What the hell do I do with you, Rubirosa?

The ambassador asked me to expel you.

I said no because you're married to my daughter.

I'll do as you say.

Look, the one who stayed on the street is Porfirio, not you.

What do you want me to do with this?

I chose a hook.

You got a good one.

As long as you're with me, you won't miss a thing.

Trujillo was convinced he was giving her material things.

She'd forget about me.

Mr. Ambassador,

something very serious just happened

and I need you urgently at the embassy.

I'll be there at the end of the afternoon.

If you're not here in half an hour,

I swear I'll give you the diplomatic passport

and your immunity.

What's going on, Bernardo?

A lot of things are happening.

Sit down, Robirosa.

As you know, I'm no longer the president,

but I have everything under control.

I took a few days to come with Marta,

who's going to have our son here in Paris.

That's great. Congratulations.

I hope it's of some use to me now, without shame.

I want to know about this city you like so much.

You just got a call from the hospital.

Marta is breaking the source.

Let's go. Come on.

I can tell you're worried.

What's wrong?

Are you worried your mom will be okay?

That's not what I'm worried about.

What I'm worried about is that they ran into each other

and you wonder who's going to be my dad's successor.

It's your daughter.

Congratulations. It's a girl.

It's a girl. What are you doing?

I told you to wait for me.

I know when and what we're going to do.

One day you're in the opposition and the next you're in Trujillo.

You know perfectly well it's not like that.

Killing a president isn't a matter of a simple impulse.

We need a plan and I have one that can work.

If you try something now,

all you'll do is end up in jail or dead.

Promise me you won't do anything today.

Promise me that.

You know what you have to do.

The plan was finally beginning.

Trujillo was celebrating his freedom.

and soon we'll celebrate ours.

Generalissimo, I'd like to toast you for having him here in Paris.

There's a lot to celebrate today.

To the dance?

Oui, et beaucoup plus que ça.

To the ramping.

One that we lose.

You seem very shy with the girl.

He's not my type.

I'm not your type?

You see? He's my type.

Generalissimo always points to where he least expects.

The only thing I can do is be with these beautiful women.

I'm leaving, sir.

I'm going to sign a decree.

Hurry up, damn it.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am, hurry up before it's too late.

That's what I pay you for if you're not my wife.

You bitch!

You're a bitch, bitch!

Watch your back, you son of a bitch!

Over there, over there.

Where the hell were you?

She went that way, bitch! Get her!

Generalissimo, what happened?

She tried to kill me, bitch.

Are you okay?

I want you to bring her here.

You hear me, Rubirosa?

Yes, sir.

Let's go. Let's get out of here, Generalissimo.

Hello. Come in.

Nice to meet you, Porfirio.

I've heard a lot about you.

That's right, but I'd love to hear it from you.

Please, sit.

Thank you.

So, who is Porfirio Rubirosa?

Excusez-moi, mademoiselle.

No problem.

La verdad que eres indispensable aquí.

La FED no es lo mismo sin ti.

Adil, te llamo después que estoy con una periodista,

una tal Doris Duke,

una americana.

Doris Duke?

The million dollar baby?

Todos los Estados Unidos

She's the heir of the entire tobacco empire of that country.

I'll call you later.

So, where were we, my dear Doris?

Well, you were about to tell me who is Porfirio Rubirosa

and how you've cheated death.

I'm going to tell you everything.

Do you want something to drink?

Cheers, everybody! Thank you!

And now, if you excuse me, Ruby and I are going home.

What did he say?

He's very happy for us, baby.

That's amazing.

Thank you. Thank you, everybody, for coming.

Thank you.

My boyfriend and the richest woman in the U.S.

had also caught my attention.

And not just the press.

Another American agency was interested in me, the FBI.

A murder in New York, an assassination attempt in Spain.

That's what we know about Rubirosa.

I'm not sure if he's a criminal or not,

That's what we know about Rubirosa.

And why is FBI so concerned about my life all of a sudden?

Because you're one of America's wealthiest citizens.

You don't have any hairs.

So if something happens to you,

all your money could end up under Trujillo's control

and he's the leader of the Banana Republic.

We won't want that, neither do you.

Read the report.

Hello, Mr. Ambassador.

This is my friend, Barbara Hatton.

It's my pleasure.

The pleasure is mine.

I've heard a lot about you.

Oh, really?

And I feel like I know you as much as Doris.

Are they your cousins from New York?

No, they're my lawyers.

Doris had given me a beating, and I had fallen for it.

According to her lawyers, I'd still be poor,

but that's true.

A coward like me would never run away.

Okay, let's do this.

Porfirio Rubirosa, how long have I not seen you?

You missed me? You don't remember one.

I always remember you.

I missed you too, Porfirio.

I have a little job for you.

In summary, Trujillo has set up a nepotistic regime

which benefits its relatives to the nth degree of bloodshed.

And no one protests. Why?

Because this regime is supported

supported by a perfectly oiled machinery

of terror and death.

I believe that today among us there is some envoy

of this supposed very general Trujillo.

They are like his dictator,

who are unable to raise their voice to defend him.

But I am not afraid of them,

because this is not the Dominican Republic,

and here they cannot hurt me.

Thank you all for your assistance.

Professor Aguirre.

Allow me first of all to express my admiration.

Thank you very much.

You don't know how happy I am to see you.

It's dangerous.

I wanted to see you because we need to talk.

It's very important.

Trujillo knows you're here in New York.

In fact, he sent me to kill you.

What are you saying?

What you hear.

He knows you and Aguirre are here.

He wants to get rid of you by staying in that hotel.

So Aguirre is going to publish something about that?

It's a fact.

Do you know what you have to do?

My colleague Schmoll wants me to tell you one more thing.

It's about...

We saw it in Aguirre's talk.

In the end he made contact with the girl,

a certain Candelaria.

Well, she's in New York for that.

So they know each other from before

because they greeted each other with a lot of familiarity.

Give me Rubirosa's file.

I thought we were done.

There's a journalist who wants to talk to us.

Supposedly to give us support from the newspaper he works for.

It's impossible. I have to go to the press.

If you want, I'll talk to him and we'll meet there.

Okay. I'll see you there.

Mr. Aguirre.

Oh, Jake.

Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

I'd like to have a cup of coffee with you

so I can ask you more questions about Trujillo.

I'd love to, but I have an ineligible appointment.

At least let me accompany you to the subway station.

Every minute with you is very valuable to me.

Okay, come with me.

I need to contact the American publisher, please.

Thank you.

Good evening. May I speak with Professor Aguirre?

Are you sure?

Well, thank you.

What's wrong?

I'm so glad you're here. I have to see what's going on.

Do you want me to come with you?

No, no, no. Are you busy?

She's an old friend.

She's a very good friend.

We've known each other for a long time.

You don't need to lie to me, baby.

I know she's more than an old friend.

So, darling, what are we gonna do today?

Well, actually,

I was thinking to stay here with you the whole day.

What about that?

Of it.

Aguirre was last seen on March 12, 1956,

entering the subway station on 7th Avenue at 57.

All his personal belongings were found in his apartment,

except for the brown briefcase

where he kept the manuscript of his book.

Candelaria knew he had to leave,

but his obsession with injustice

And for honoring Aguirre's memory,

they were stronger than his instinct of conservation.

I give up my job,

which is the only thing that dignifies man

and brings him closer to God.

Cheers, Generalissimo!

Cheers, Ruby.

I'm sure, but the times are on the way.

Also for you.

Hey, darling. Are you all right?

The B-25 crashed while taking off in New Jersey.

Victor, can I get a drink?

What happened? What about the pilots?

Thankfully, he's alive. All is good.

And Brett is taking care of the legal matters,

but it's weird.

Exactly on the same day, I was scheduled to fly.

The opposite year.

We were very lucky.

God, Ruby.

I know it was your wedding present.

I'm so sorry.

You're gonna need a new plane now.

Well, if you want a new plane,

you better buy it with your own money.

If you're so fed up with me, why don't we get a divorce?

We have your puppy here. He's a lawyer, right?

Maybe he can finally be useful.

You're right. You're absolutely right.

I think we should do it right now.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Can you write this down?

I want him to keep the cars, horses, and the apartment.

I want him to get a new apartment.

I want him to get a new car.

and the apartment, I want him to get $25,000 per year.

Under one condition.

Which one?

You stay single.

Don't worry.

I will be watching you.

In front of the window, I see the time pass by.

Sitting, I regret the forgotten love.

I see the hats and the feathers.

Life follows its course.

Porfirio, this is the perfect place

so you can find a new wife.

That way you can extend your fortune.

No, Monami.

I don't have the energy for that kind of woman anymore.

I don't care.

What happened?

Did you have an epiphany or something?

Or are you not interested in money or good life anymore?

I know you are.

You have to decide.

You don't have much time left.

Money or love.

Even though I didn't have any money,

time had turned me into a kind of trophy for women.

I was a figurehead in the international press.

Who is she?

Adel Chardon, an actress in Ascenso.

If you were 20 years younger and maybe a million dollars older,

you'd be your wife.

She'll be my last woman.

Forget it.

Everyone here knows she's...

We agreed.

Excuse me.

Thank you, mademoiselle.

Mr. Rubio Rosa.

You know, I was only a child, but I was in a movie with mysterious people.

Adele, I remember you.

You've become very beautiful.

You too, you're not bad either.

Where will you spend your honeymoon?

The truth is here, it's my wife.

Excuse me.

Bravo, Ruby.

For the first time, you're more attractive than your wife.

You're maturing.

She's going to be a star, you'll see.

You have a call from President Torrio.

Thank you, Victor.

Let's go, man.

Your Excellency.

I'm shameless.

What happened? Why are you insulting me?

You're marrying a 35-year-old girl who's younger than you.

And you're still asking me why I call you a bandit.

Love has no age, Mr. Rafael.

What are you going to do for your honeymoon?

Some friends invited us to their village on the blue coast,

and others invited us to Greece.

so you can pass your honeymoon to the Dominican Republic.

It would be an honor, President.

I accept your proposal.

Again with the same thing?

You know who I am.

I have orders not to let anyone in.

Flor, are you okay?

I knew you'd come and I wanted to say hello.

This is Flor de Oro Torrillo, my first wife.

My daughter, what a miracle I see you around here.

Hi, Dad.

Now you're with a group of bohemians, communists,

and you've even forgotten about the family.

Thank goodness you're done with your last husband.

Another survivor.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yes, yes. And you?

Fine, thank you.

She's my wife, Adel.

Come on.

Rubirosa couldn't be any better.

I just appointed him as my ambassador in Cuba.

I'll be the youngest ambassador in the world.

What's going on?

Calm down!

President Batista.

Ambassador Rovirosa.

Castro's troops are entering Havana.

I formally ask for asylum in the Dominican Republic.

Havana was a terror.

The celebration of the new year had disappeared

from the compass of the guerrilla boots

that invaded the streets.

And there I was, again, in the middle of danger.

What the hell is going on?

What are you doing here?

Fidel took over, boss.

He didn't have to run away from Cuba.

And Baptista?

He's fine. He's in one of the rooms.

You did what you had to do.

Congratulations, Rubirosa.

Thank you, boss.

Did you come here with your wife

or did you lose another wife on the way?

Adel came with me.

Well, there's my summer house for the two of you to live in.

Thank you, boss.

But you're going to have to do something else for me.

Of course, whatever you need.

Sell me your land.

I haven't thought about selling it, boss.

We can talk and...

No, no, no.

Let's not turn this thing around.

I need you to transfer that property to me

at a symbolic price.

Of course.

Of course, boss.

Come and rest.

What Trujillo did to me and my family

He was practically a scapegoat.

But I knew he was looking for money everywhere

to support his government,

except for his fortune that kept growing.

Everything's ready.

We're not going to fail this time.

I need you to take good care of yourself.

I need you to take care of yourself.

I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you.

The plan to get Flor out of the country came out perfect.

Yes, I'm glad she's okay and far from here.

Well, I'll look for you. Take care.

Smile to the camera.

What's this?

We're keeping an eye on you, as you ordered.

We're with her.

Since when does Rovirosa like communists?

Do you want me to bring it to you?

He's been called an infiltrated man in the government.

You want to join my army?

It would be an honor for me.

I'm willing to serve my country.

There's a lot to celebrate today.

No, I'll fix this myself.

You're very elegant.

Are you waiting for someone?

I hope not.

I'm going to bed. See you later.

21 years of hegemony.

They had ended in the same law Trujillo imposed.

Blood and fire.

Take him away!

You betrayed your motherland.

Your damn mother gave birth to you.

I'll make you pay for this.

Ramfi didn't let anyone get involved in his revenge.

Aquino! Give me the gun!

He repeatedly said that his father's murderers

would die at his hands.

And he did.

General, there's a rat in there.

Candelaria B-90.

She's all over the island.

Bring her back alive.

I'll take care of her, okay?

Yes, sir.

Right now!

That's how I helped Candelaria escape.

What I didn't know was that years would pass

before I could see her again.

Guillermo, do you still have anything of what you stole?

According to what I've heard,

I must have 50 times less of what you took out.

I'm glad to see you.

I'm here in peace.

I'm retired.

It's about Ruby. Tell me if it's true, Guillermo.

I introduced him to Generalissimo myself.

A series of tests that showed that since the beginning,

he's been working with the opposition.

Do you know how many years I've been waiting for this moment?

Me too.

I needed to ask for your permission.

We're what we are, and we did the best we could.

It's incredible how they've been apart for so many years.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying I want to start a new life with you.

Are you serious?

I've been more serious.

I want to talk to my father before I die.

This is the most valuable thing I have.

If you're willing to leave everything to me,

we'll meet here, in this apartment, tomorrow at 11,

and you can give it back to me.

Let's see if you make it this time.

Let's see if you make it this time.

You're not used to seeing me in the area.

I'm very happy to see you.

You were the last thing I needed.

If I don't come home tonight,

my wife will leave me with the luggage on the pallet.

Your wife will let you down anyway.

Like all women.

Ramsey, I've been following you for five years.

Five years.

I heard things.

People told me a lot of things,

but I ignored them because I didn't want to believe them.

This is yours.

Where's Candelaria?

where your mother will be, where Adel will be,

and all your achievements while you're still alive.

The day I see you dead, like I see my father,

that day you won't have anything to worry about.

It's always been a love of mine.

I can't complain about my life.

Everyone can come to the conclusion they want.

Some may see me as a coward, but no.

I made this decision to save what always kept me alive.

My women.
