All language subtitles for Eva.Nera.1976.EN

Too bad that you know
Hong Kong already, Eva.

I could provide some
unforgettable experiences.

I'm not sure I know everything.
Hong Kong is a metropolis now.

I accept your invitation.

I'm also curious to
meet your famous brother.

He will be glad.

- Do you prefer a taxi?
- Not necessary.

- I wish you a great success.
- Thank you.

- Is this your car?
- A friend owns it.

Obviously you have
influential friends. Bravo.

I hope to see you
at my premi�re tonight.

I'll book the best table. Bye.

A charming woman, Giuda, and
her act is very attractive.

Tonight is her premi�re.
Don't miss it.

In a nightclub?
A boring dance performance?

No thanks, Jules.

Giuda,
my dear brother Giuda...

Our business is booming, and
thanks to you tireless efforts.

We can't be compared with
these tedious fiddling bastards.

So I decided that tonight I'll
watch the show of that girl.

It'll distract you.

How can I convince you,
my dear brother...

There are other things in the world
than just diamonds and snakes.

Well, since you insist...
I hope it's worth it.

Agreed.

So, what do you think?
It's worth it or not?

Brava! Brava!

- Please, sir.
- Thank you.

I'm convinced that you've come
to the end of your research.

Don't insist, Jules.
It's probably coincidence.

There are dozens of
dancers using snakes.

It's nice of you, but I find
it useless to bring up the past.

Often a coincidence helps
us to discover the truth.

You should talk to her,
try to find out more.

If I were you I'd offer her a place
to stay, money and protection.

You'll see, she won't trouble.

You don't want to give up
now that we are close?

The great Giuda Levi is afraid
of a girl with a python!

You have to invite the girl.

I will.

- Well, I leave. I go to Tokyo tonight.
- Have a good trip.

Hello? Are you Chen?

Good morning.
I'm sorry, but I'm not Chen.

Who are you then?

We don't know each other.
Not yet.

Who gave you my number?

Let's say a friend.
Can we meet for lunch?

- Why should I?
- Could be many of reasons.

For example, out of
feminine curiosity.

Where would we meet?

In case I'm so curious.

- In your favourite restaurant.
- Very good. Tell me what time.

Good. I'll be ready to satisfy
any woman's curiosity...

Let's say, if you agree
of course, at 1:00 pm.

Thank you.

Have a seat.

But I know you. Yesterday
you were sitting at that table.

Wrong. I was sitting there.
I'm glad you accepted.

I was curious who knew my
favourite restaurant.

- Here you are.
- What a surprise! How did you know?

It was easy, I did a little
research... very secretly.

Very kind, but why did you
actually invite me?

Of course for the pleasure to meet you
but it's not just that...

Although the first reason
is very valuable.

I wanted to satisfy
my curiosity.

You came from Holland yesterday. On
the journey you met my brother Jules.

Oh Jules? So he's the Giuda!

Now I understand why your
name sounded familiar.

Yes, Eva. I didn't know that
Jules told you about me.

However, he took me to the place
where you perform.

You saw me dancing?

Yes, and I can assure you
that you're really good.

Especially because the dance with
the snake has very ancient roots.

Only few are given
to dance it like you.

It must require a long
period of initiation.

Eva, where have you
learned that dance?

- You really care to know?
- Yes.

I learned it in Siam.
I was around 12 then.

My mother taught me a long time
before I performed in public!

Yeah.

- You love snakes?
- Why do you ask? Sure, I like them.

- I'm glad to hear it.
- Why?

If you remind me later, I'll show
you something very interesting.

- It's wonderful!
- Watch your step.

- You live here alone?
- No, my brother Jules lives here too.

But he's frequently out.

I have many small friends
to keep me with company.

Come on, Eva. Please come.

Here!

Eva, may I present my
dear little friends?

I picked them up during
my travels around the world.

I'm passionately studying them.
Please, come.

This is an African swamp viper.
Look.

One of it's ancestors killed
Cleopatra by biting her breast.

Yet, it's so sweet!

This is a Saharan horn viper.
It's home is the desert.

This however is a pitviper from
South Africa, a magnificent specimen.

It's very dangerous. Last year
10,000 people were killed.

It's been here a month only,
so it's still wary of me.

But very soon we'll
be friends, right?

Look! They're all friends, silent
and faithful.

Valuable allies.

You aren't afraid of them, no?

Snakes are not evil at all...

They become quite tame
if you don't fear them.

Oh, I forgot the stars
of my collection!

Above all,
a fabulous example of a python.

Very greedy, only yesterday
it ate four fat mice.

Four fat mice are
currently digested.

- And here's the king of kings!
- Leave it alone! - Why?

That snake can be
very dangerous.

Let's have a drink.

All my life I've been fascinated
by these creatures.

They can kill in many different ways,
from instant to painfully slow.

Perhaps this is what
fascinates me most...

Please.

Look, if I asked you
to live in this house...

You'll have your freedom and
do exactly what you want.

And spend time with me
only when you like.

Why this proposal?

Don't ask, but I shall
be forever grateful...

And you're free to do whatever
you want, anytime.

I offer you everything
without conditions.

But why?

You're a journey back
in time for me.

Please, stay with me.

Goodbye.

Well, I was a fool.

No, not at all, I'm just surprised
but I think I accept your proposal.

- My...
- I'll see you soon.

Bitch!

Forgive me, Eva, I didn't mean it,
but you know how jealous I am.

Listen, bitch!

With women I'm not jealous, but I
can't stand you go with other men.

Eva...

This is your room.
And here's the key.

Giuda has opened a bank account
in your name.

In this envelope is
the checkbook.

You only fill in the amount
you want to have.

For all practical things,
you can ask me.

I'm also the administrator
of the company.

But why all this?

He wants it, and you deserve it,
because you're wonderful.

Giuda appreciates beauty.

Goodbye.

- She's very nice.
- She's amazing.

And I think I'm jealous, jealous
like a teen at his first experience.

What will you do now?
You'll have to investigate.

Or is she just an addition
to your collection?

I could go in Siam and try
to find out if her mother is alive.

Aren't you curious?

You know I...
I'm here to serve you.

Goodnight, Giuda.

Come closer, but slowly.

How did you know
it was me?

It reacts on you. Amazing.
It likes your scent.

Meet my favorite friend, the
most dangerous of all snakes.

Did you hear... the scent of
your body is so sweet.

Look, Eva.
Elegant and sporty.

- It kills a human in seconds.
- A green mamba.

No one has survived
it's bite so far.

Aren't you afraid?

In the beginning, but now
we respect each other.

- We are allies.
- Allies against whom?

Oh, yes, there are two
roles you can play in life.

Either you are a victim
or a predator.

If you are not afraid...

you'll enjoy the danger
and the fear...

of the people around you...

Otherwise...

Cheer up, dear Eva! Tomorrow
I'll give a party in your honour.

A party? Here?
Your friends will be afraid.

You're right! Let's save our
little friends from their sight.

You'll meet some
important people...

The whole upper-class
of the city.

I'm not kidding! Ossequieranno
the new queen of Hong Kong.

- Really?
- Really.

We'll have to move them.

They could take it the wrong way,
animals are extremely sensitive.

There are always
nice people here.

- Eva, this is the little Candy.
- This is my brother Robert.

- Hello, Robert.
- Hi.

I was dying to meet
this Black Venus...

who charmed the pants off the
golden bachelor boy of Hong Kong.

Come, meet my friends.

I see that Eva has a good time
with our guests.

Yeah. She is like her mother.

Jules, I just want Eva
to be happy.

She enjoys great freedom.

If you hang out with someone,
that's fine too.

Your weak part is
you're too good.

Come on, Jules, let's
enjoy the party.

Remember I want to give Eva
the greatest freedom.

Okay.

I was so curious
who you are.

I was also curious to meet
you, I was dying to know...

what a nice girl like you does
among so boring people.

Social reasons. But primarily to
meet my dear brother. Look.

Steal him from those bureaucrats
and get him out on the terrace.

I love the nights in this
wonderful country...

So warm, relaxing...

To appreciate it, you need to
experience all the nuances.

Making love in a night like this
can be extraordinary wonderful.

It's true, it must be wonderful
to make love in a night like this.

Eva, Giuda is looking for you. He'd
like to introduce you to some friends.

Eva, I want to introduce a
friend. Jerry, this is Eva.

- Hello, Jerry.
- Jules insisted so that...

I like to be here.
Why don't you stay here with us?

We'll get to know each other,
swim and have a good breakfast.

I didn't bring my swimsuit.

You can borrow one of mine.
Come, Jerry.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- You're not staying?

I'm sorry, but Giuda is waiting
for me to settle a major deal.

- See you tomorrow night, Jerry.
- Ciao Jules.

- Give me.
- Let me help you.

You'll see,
a massage will do you good!

Jerry, Eva said you're an expert
in tropical diseases.

Not quite!
I'm just an apprentice.

Jerry graduated in medicine and now
she's on practical training.

She's very good, old Dr. Brown
can't do without her.

Unfortunately she must leave,
back to England.

A big loss for Hong Kong.

But what can we do
if she decided it.

It's not a pleasure trip, Giuda.
She'll miss her father.

It's true, Jules, but Giuda
has his collection here.

Collection?
That's a good one!

I think Jerry is just too
proud to ask for our help.

- Excuse me, I gotta go.
- Wait, I'll walk you home.

No, no. Eva can
drive her home by car.

Accompany her, Jules.

No, thanks,
I'm used to walk at night.

- I want to come along.
- Don't bother.

Okay, then I'll ask Jules
to accompany you both.

I want to go alone, Giuda.

Come on, Jerry,
I'll show my new car.

- Don't wait, I think I'll be late.
- Good night.

Eva seems interested in Jerry,
don't you think?

You should also be interested.
Right, Jules?

You don't work in the hospital,
you stopped several months ago.

In fact you couldn't
pay your lessons.

I also know that you fly
to England in two days...

on a tourist class ticket.

Come on, open it,
let's see I'm right.

What are you doing?
Are you crazy? Stop, Eva!

Watch.

Isn't it cute?
Snakes are fascinating creatures.

Mice, birds, even rabbits.

They love to kill.

Don't be afraid, little Candy,
it wants to be your friend.

It's late, Giuda.

You're right, Jules.
Candy must go home.

I thought so,
the car is ready.

Please accompany me.
I feel more safe then.

Oh I thought it's later, but I prefer
your protection tonight.

Bye Candy.
It wants to see you soon!

Wait.

Can't you come back later?
We need to talk a little, no?

- Okay?
- Okay.

I've never met a man
who really interested me.

- Actually, I find them stupid.
- How did you lose your virginity?

When I came to Hong Kong,
many years ago,

I was alone in the lab
for some research.

He took me there on the table.
I don't know why I let him.

I don't believe you
were a virgin then.

- You don't remember how it happened.
- You're a strange girl.

- Tomorrow you go back
to your lessons. - No.

I can't accept, I don't get
why you worry about me.

It's not out of compassion,
it's more important and very different.

The money isn't mine anyway,
I don't need it.

It's a fun place, you'll see.
A new experience.

This is Jerry.

What a nice egg turns out
of this little chicken. Come.

You know, we're together.

Come, I'll find you a table.

We're in good company, as you
see, and we have a great show.

You can have a new one
every night!

Please. What shall I serve
to celebrate the event?

- We rely on you, Ben.
- Well, I'll think about it.

- Take it away! Take it away!
- Like this? - Take it away!

Here you are.

- Do you like to dance?
- Yes, it's so absurd, funny...

I'm sorry to interrupt
the dance, my friends.

Stop the music please.

Well, dearest friends...

Finally the time for
our show has come.

First tonight we welcome
two sisters from Japan...

who will show you
their whole repertoire.

From Japan, for us, here are...
the Kim Sisters!

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- You're welcome to sleep at my place.

I'd love to, but...

Since I live with Giuda I haven't
missed a night at his home.

Giuda is very sensitive and
I think he would feel bad.

All right, I'll see you tomorrow.

A demain.
Goodnight, Jerry.

But it's Candy! What
happened? Is she dead?

No, it's a kind of collapse, but
I don't know what has caused it.

Giuda, do you think that one of
your snakes attacked her?

Impossible. All my little
friends are in their places.

How should they
get out of here?

Hello? Dr. Montez speaking.
Emergency service?

I need an ambulance,
immediately.

- Address?
- Mid Level Mansions 84.

Mid Level Mansions 84.
Yes, quick, it is urgent.

Poor Candy...

Poor Candy...
She was too afraid of snakes.

What do you mean?

Don't worry,
nothing will happen.

Dr. Montez is a friend,
he'll solve the case quietly.

How did it happen?

Someone must have left
open the cage of the asp.

Tomorrow I'll go to Singapore
for some business.

I can't delay it.

I'll go too, they are waiting
for me in Tokyo.

Look... Eva, I'm sorry.
We'll return as soon as possible.

May I ask you to take
care of our mutual friends?

I'd be very grateful.

Of course,
Giuda, you can leave calmly.

- You'll see, it won't take a long time.
- It doesn't matter.

I do it gladly for you.

- I won't forget it, be sure.
- Come back soon, Giuda.

- You can stay with me over night.
- What will Giuda and Jules say?

Giuda and Jules are gone. The house
is ours. Apart from the snakes.

How can Giuda live with those snakes?
I don't understand him.

They are his
only friends, Jerry.

To me, he and Jules
aren't normal.

Let's talk about
something else.

Today we celebrate our
independence and our freedom.

It must be a happy,
unforgettable day.

Well, this is my job,
an unpaid work...

A job that must be done
out of humanity.

My life isn't as interesting
as it sounds.

Compared to you, I'm nothing.
I've never done anything for anybody.

Maybe because no one has
ever done anything for me.

I never met my father.

When I was 12, my mother
met an elderly bawd and left me.

I haven't heard
anything since.

All I learned from her is
how to treat snakes.

She was also a dancer.

She performed that act
that I do with the python.

It's all I've left
from my mother.

The bawd had been a prostitute
since she was 13.

But why bring up the past?

Today should be a happy day.
Let's not talk about these things.

Don't talk about it anymore.

I need a nice shower.
It's so hot today.

It's delicious. Where did you
learn to cook so well?

I learned it from a friend who runs
a restaurant, a Japanese woman.

We were friends once...

But it's over now.

Leave it, tomorrow
the waiters will clean up.

What's the matter, Jerry?

I don't know, I thought
I heard something.

Don't be silly. Look.

Hold on, don't move.

Please, Jerry, don't be afraid,
don't show you're scared.

No, Jerry! It makes it worse!

Don't do that! Stay calm!
No! Don't move, Jerry!

There's nothing to do.
The venom of the mamba is merciless.

- Where is the snake now?
- I put it in its cage.

- You? And you weren't afraid?
- No, I'm not afraid.

I don't understand
how it could get out.

While Giuda and Jules are away
I take care of snakes.

At nine I fed them, but I'm
sure I closed the cage.

But when I put back
the mamba, its was open.

Open? Who could have opened it,
if no one was at home?

I don't know. I found it open.

I have to report it
to the police.

Fortunately I know the inspector.
There won't be a problem.

It was an accident.
And she has no one.

No, she had none.

I suppose, after what has happened,
you want to get out of my house.

Get out? Where should I go?

Distract yourself. You should
travel, see the world.

Giuda,
I will never forget Jerry.

Sooner or later you'll forget.
You have your whole life ahead.

That life is pitiful,
I don't want to live it.

Eva, I understand that and I know
Jerry and you were very close.

Believe me,
I feel as much pain as you.

Please...

I know I shouldn't say it, but
do it for your own sake.

Become again the strong and
independent woman that I knew.

You think I can?

- You'll leave tomorrow.
- Okay.

I wanna go back where I was born
and Jules will be with me.

Are you perhaps
in love with Jules?

Don't be silly.

Why Jules?
I'd gladly accompany you.

- You've got your snakes.
- Yeah...

Yeah.

- You can go, Feng.
- Yes, ma'am.

You know, Jules, these
natives surprise me.

It's really great.
Feng is a divine masseur.

Yes, I noticed.
And he has noticed you.

Feng is simple,
he's guided by instinct.

But you don't have to worry.
Giuda entrusted me to you.

If that is the case,
we mustn't disobey Giuda.

- Jules, Feng just gave me
a wonderful idea. - What is it?

To spend two days in the
most beautiful area here.

He and his brother
own a beach hut.

The tourists haven't
arrived there yet.

They go there to fish. They are born
there, a small village by the coast.

- It's like you say, very primitive.
- And how do you get there?

The port is located in
a day's sail from here.

We'll go there with our boat,
then continue by car.

Please, Jules! Remember
I need to enjoy myself.

So you want to sleep on the floor
and live without any comfort?

That's not important.
I just feel the idea excites me.

You'll see, it'll be a romantic
and we'll have a good time!

On our trip.

Prepare the boat.

Isn't it wonderful?

Thank you, Jules,
for saying yes.

You'll see you won't regret.

Let's hope the weather
is on our side.

Whore.

Hey, what's going on? Are
you crazy? Leave me alone!

Leave me alone, I said!
What do you want?

Eva! What a joke is this?

Tell these motherfuckers to leave
me alone! Eva, can you hear me?

- What are you doing?
- It's not a joke.

What, no joke? What are you
doing with that snake?

Get off me! No!

Poor little Jules... Completely
at the mercy of my little brother...

You know, in ancient times
the inhabitants of this place...

used to treat murderers and liars
with a torture known as...

"Deliver a man to the devil".

What do you mean?
You've become crazy!

No, we're crazy, because you are
a murderer and a liar.

- Didn't you let the snake kill Jerry?
- No, that's not true!

Feng, dear,
don't be impatient.

A slow death is most
enjoyable, isn't it, Jules?

No! No! No!

Don't worry, this snake's
venom gland has been removed.

But inserted into your body...

it will slowly devour your
intestines on its way out.

It will be a long
and painful death.

Are you crazy?
Eva, are you crazy?

Look, I can tell you something
nobody knows. Eva, listen to me!

Giuda is your father!

Please, let me go! I didn't
want to do it, he forced me!

I swear, I didn't! I didn't want!

I knew it. I knew he's my father.

Farewell, my dear Jules.

Come on. Slowly.

It heard me again?

No, not this time.
But I heard you.

- Did you get my telegram?
- Yes.

Jules was your brother, and I wanted
to be the one to tell you how he died.

- How did you kill him? And why?
- He deserved it, Giuda!

Do you remember that day...
when I said you had a lot of courage?

I want to add that courage often
degenerates into cruelty.

You enjoyed every
moment of his agony.

It's true, Giuda,
I enjoyed it.

Your mother was like you,
beautiful, brave and cruel.

I loved her madly, but she
left me to live with a woman.

And then, after a long
search, I found you.

But like your mother,
you also wanted to leave me.

And I'd have been alone again...

With my snakes.

Why? Why did you want
to run away with her?

Giuda, it's too difficult to explain.

And besides, it's too late.

Sure, I understand.

Now it's my turn.
It's my turn to pay.

Goodbye.

Where're you going?

I'll try to go far,
as far as possible.

Eva... I'd like to tell you...

Giuda, I want to dance
for you with the mamba!

I want you to remember me
like I remember my mother.

- You are crazy! And dangerous!
- Please! - It would be madness!

- Let me do it, please!
- Stop! No! No! Eva!

Eva, why...?

Why do you also
want to escape?

It kills a man in seconds.

You didn't have to do it.

Dr. Montez?
There was an accident.

Yes, a snake.
It must have escaped.

Yes, a snake.

Yes, the mamba...
It's bite is merciless.
