CHAPTER IX THE LIFE OF CUEVAS
2
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,639
Second story.
The life of Cuevas.
3
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,639
Almost two months have gone by.
4
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:29,919
In this time, Z has been busy
with one thing only
5
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,039
assembling the puzzle pieces
of Cuevas' life. The pieces?
6
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,359
A notebook, a map
some fake passports,
7
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,479
some letters,
photos, bank notes,
8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,199
an African bank account..
9
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,999
worth 1500 000 Sterling pounds,
10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,679
and some symbols
Z is still unable to decipher.
11
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,959
That's it Nothing else.
This is Cuevas' treasure map.
12
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,319
First, Z unravels the system.
13
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,719
that Cuevas built
to hide behind.
14
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,680
For three months he takes to
he roads of the province.
15
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,959
meticulously repeating
the diagrams drawn by Cuevas.
16
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,279
He goes to storehouses, hotels,
17
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,519
gas stations canteens,
and schools,
18
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,959
always guided by Cuevas' map.
19
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,880
In each place, a certain name.
In each storehouse, another.
20
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,118
In each gas station.
yet another.
21
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,279
He never has problems
No one ever mistrusts him.
22
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,279
No one asks questions.
23
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,599
The mechanism created by Cuevas.
24
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,639
is so precise
it works without him.
25
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,239
What does he find? Letters.
26
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,719
Letters from Holland Belgium,
South Africa, Senegal. India.
27
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,599
Australia and Singapore.
28
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,959
Letters for ridiculous names
Nelson Patrick Nelson Roberts
29
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,479
Roberto Nelson,
Benito Alvarez Garcia.
30
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,159
Alvaro Garcia Benitez.
31
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,599
Juan Giovanni, Santiago Jacques.
32
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,479
It is like a game and Z feels
he understands
33
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,679
some of the rules now.
34
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,679
If these letters and trips
35
00:02:47,119 --> 00:02:49,639
begin to reveal
some details of Cuevas' life.
36
00:02:53,079 --> 00:02:56,239
Cuevas' youth and childhood
don't seem to be so special.
37
00:02:57,079 --> 00:03:00,879
A boy born in the 50's,
in some city suburb.
38
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,799
Nothing else.
39
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,039
At some point
he begins to travel.
40
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,719
From age 30 on he lives
mostly outside the country.
41
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,879
He travels the world.
He meets people.
42
00:03:16,079 --> 00:03:19,239
He becomes a different person
from the boy of his adolescence.
43
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,559
He lives a more bohemian life,
almost an adventurer.
44
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,719
At middle age. He moves
to some African country.
45
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,679
He works in some activity
concerning wild animals.
46
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,799
He is some kind of a manager..
47
00:03:36,079 --> 00:03:39,599
or a consultant
with a foundation.
48
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,999
He lives there
until he turns 45 or 50.
49
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,679
It is the most important
part of his life.
50
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,959
Around the age of 25,
51
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,679
Cuevas meets a young German
or Swiss man named Eric.
52
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,279
He's a geologist
an oil engineer.
53
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,078
or something like that.
54
00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:05,959
They live together for 30 years.
55
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,719
He is most likely,
56
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,599
the reason
why Cuevas moves to Africa
57
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,399
Eric (who Cuevas refers to
s Enrico or Pierrot.
58
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,319
in most of his letters) links
him to his circle of friends.
59
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,839
They are mostly European
diplomats and professionals.
60
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,559
This African Cuevas
s quite a different person..
61
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,719
from the Federation Cuevas
that Z is used to.
62
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,679
He has many friends
and is a sophisticated man.
63
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,319
Apparently, he is a happy man.
64
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,799
In the mid 80's, Eric gets sick.
65
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,799
For a year or so his letters
are not so frequent.
66
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,199
He can't pinpoint
when Eric dies,
67
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,439
but from a certain point on
letters from friends
68
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,639
are filled with tragedy
irreparable damage fate
69
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:58,719
things like this.
70
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,799
In the same period,
Cuevas returns
71
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,159
having left Africa forever.
72
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:14,559
At first he is still in touch
with his African friends.
73
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,679
Then Cuevas stops
exchanging letters with them...
74
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,199
and is eventually
left on his own.
75
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,519
Dear Gege.
76
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,639
This is just to tell you
that we all think of you.
77
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:33,639
all the time
It's as if you had never left.
78
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,759
Each of us
dedicates a song to you,
79
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,679
according to his
or her personality
80
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,920
/ he first one is mine my dear.
Get ready to dance1.
81
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,599
Cuevas goes back
to living with his mother.
82
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,559
and works for a federal
entity that regulates.
83
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,078
the entry of wild
foreign animals.
84
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,399
Something like
an Animal Migration Service.
85
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,801
Maybe some activity similar
to that developed in Africa.
86
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,279
There are few traces
of this stage.
87
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,999
Official letters letterheads,
old cards, some recorded tape.
88
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,559
Almost no photos, no images.
89
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Eventually.
Cuevas gets involved..
90
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,719
in the illegal traffic
of wild animals.
91
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,719
The Mona Lisas
And Marco Polos...
92
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,999
are wild animals.
93
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,439
Cuevas apparently
doesn๏ฟฝt have to do anything.
94
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,999
Simply make introductions
and phone calls,
95
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,599
and receive commissions
of thousands of dollars.
96
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,639
He doesn t meet his associates
or know his clients.
97
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,839
He is just a link, a guarantor.
98
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:55,919
That same year
99
00:06:56,119 --> 00:06:57,839
he asks to be transferred
to the Federation.
100
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,118
The mystery begins
to clear up for Z.
101
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,639
Cuevas is smart.
102
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,639
The job at the Federation
is a cover a hiding place.
103
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,639
At his last job he was
a bull's eye for suspicion.
104
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,078
At the Federation
a lost office in a lost town
105
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,639
he is anonymous, a ghost.
106
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,799
He no longer needs the other job
107
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:22,719
to keep his business running.
108
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,439
For years he remains hidden
unnoticed by all.
109
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,759
Obsessive, systematic, fearful,
he manages to become invisible.
110
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,719
He invents new names
and identities for himself.
111
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,559
He gets fake documents.
112
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,559
No one knows where he lives
or where he is.
113
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:40,959
He uses remote places
that hardly appear on maps
114
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,919
as mail addresses.
115
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,759
He designs a labyrinth
for those who want to find him.
116
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,919
The same labyrinth
Z finds himself in right now.
117
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,761
When the investigation ends,
118
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,879
Z writes down
his remaining questions.
119
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,559
Can Cuevas' money be recovered?
120
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,679
Is it lost for good?
121
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,759
It is impossible
to know for now Too risky.
122
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,639
What was Cuevas saving up for?
123
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,959
That whole operation what for?
124
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,479
Was it possible
he saved it all up.
125
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,719
without dreaming
of how to spend it?
126
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,879
Was he a miser?
A slave to his own system?
127
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,599
Was Cuevas' business
still running?
128
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,039
Is somebody
still sending him money?
129
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,839
Does anyone know he is dead?
130
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,679
And still another enigma.
131
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,719
The symbol
and the three letters.
132
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,639
"The Pyrenees Horse Farm"
What is this about?
133
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,599
Z can t bear
the excitement any longer.
134
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,639
"Either something to do
with the office or with Cuevas"
135
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,759
he thinks "If it's the office
it's nothing.
136
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,839
If it's about Cuevas,
it's important".
137
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,359
He thinks Palomeque
I'll ask Palomeque.
138
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,159
first thing in the morning".
139
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,679
And before turning
he light off like a child..
140
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,559
he thinks
Only eight hours to go ".
141
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,439
Federation..
142
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,599
Yes, speaking.
143
00:11:08,119 --> 00:11:10,759
Hello, how are you'?
144
00:11:11,119 --> 00:11:12,118
What?
145
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,280
But the next day Palomeque
doesn't come to work.
146
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,599
His daughter calls very early
d explains that her father..
147
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,159
woke up the middle of the night
148
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,599
with a strong chest pain
and the doctor
149
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,719
diagnosed it as the onset
of a heart attack.
150
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,359
But has this ever
happened before?
151
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,159
Palomeque is okay
His life is not at risk.
152
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,719
He just needs a week's rest
153
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,399
and to quit smoking forever.
154
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:38,319
No please. He shouldn't come in.
155
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,719
More to the right. Back there
Let's see.
156
00:11:42,119 --> 00:11:43,879
No it's a bi er book
157
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:48,039
an important book
with a binding.
158
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,078
Good I see you found
someone to work for you.
159
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,959
Are you still on
about that book, Dad?
160
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,599
It's gone!
161
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,159
That book is here!
162
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,319
It's been gone for at least
a year and a half.
163
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:02,399
And last week he became
obsessed that the book was.
164
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,559
My dear, that book is here1
It has been by my side.
165
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,519
Z spends the afternoon
at Palomeque's house.
166
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,639
There is hardly any talk
of history or geography.
167
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,399
Palomeque talks non stop.
168
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,559
but in a more relaxed
and knowing way.
169
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,078
The topics are less solemn
and more ordinary.
170
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,319
Outside the Federation.
171
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,559
Palomeque is a different person
172
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:27,639
I am not serving you sugar!
I'm serving him sugar1.
173
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,679
Strangely, Z finds
he is having a good time.
174
00:12:41,079 --> 00:12:43,159
At some point Palomeque
says he has a headache
175
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,679
escorts his daughter.
176
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,599
to the drugstore
to buy medicine.
177
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,399
When they return
Palomeque is asleep in bed
178
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,759
hey both talk.
179
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,799
for a couple of hours
while he sleeps.
180
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,519
When they part company.
181
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,879
Z realizes this afternoon
as the best
182
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:01,839
he's spent in months.
183
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,439
As he gets in bed that night.
in Cuevas' lousy little room..
184
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,439
he tells himself
he has been isolated.
185
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,719
for too long thinking
about a dead man,
186
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,599
living the life of a dead man
187
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:25,479
and he finds he is sick
and tired of Cuevas.
188
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,679
and doesn't want
to think of him anymore.
189
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,919
One. One. Two Here you have it.
190
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,439
That is from last month
The head, yes.
191
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:03,319
Four hundred
and thirty-two with 53 cents,
192
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,039
plus tax.
193
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,118
At first not thinking
about Cuevas isn't hard.
194
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,200
His work at the Federation
without Palomeque
195
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,679
is not the same.
196
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,439
Z works like a slave
197
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,399
two or three times
harder than before.
198
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,799
He begins to feel differently.
to enjoy his work.
199
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,319
He decides he needs
to get out more
200
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,679
make friends,
and meet other people
201
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,159
ne morning he decides..
202
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,799
it's time to stop living
in that hole.
203
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,559
He asks Mrs. Gavilan...
204
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,719
to help him find
a place to rent.
205
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,559
If possible,
something large and well lit
206
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,399
far from the Federation.
207
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,439
He begins to visit
Palomeque's house
208
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,078
several times a week.
209
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,679
of by chance he thinks..
210
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,078
of the mysteries
that filled his head...
211
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,118
just days earlier,
he feels a little silly.
212
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,759
s if this whole time
213
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,639
he had been playing
like a child
214
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,959
ut.
215
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,399
But.
216
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,319
But.
217
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,399
The certificates .. which ones?
218
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,719
Last month s.. Let's see.
219
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,239
Yes they were sent.
Yes, here it is..
220
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,719
No, we don't include the date.
221
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,279
That very day someone phones,
a Caceres or Casares guy.
222
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,319
He's demanding a certificate.
223
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,279
that should have been
ready a week ago.
224
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,479
It was
Palomeque's responsibility,
225
00:15:49,119 --> 00:15:50,559
but no one knew about it.
226
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,559
How it's an urgent matter..
227
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,679
and there is no way
to deal with it from there.
228
00:15:55,119 --> 00:15:56,399
There's nothing to do
229
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,479
but go to sign the document
in person.
230
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,359
Look, this is what we can do.
231
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,759
Someone will bring
a new certificate
232
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,199
once we confirm they're missing.
233
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,479
Before leaving.
234
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,759
he finds the place
he must go to on the map.
235
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,599
"It's fate" he thinks.
236
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,118
The spot s less than 30 km away
237
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,879
from Cuevas' sign.
238
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,999
Less than 30 km from
The Pyrenees".
239
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,078
Z smiles and thinks
Back in the game".
240
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:06,319
Story three.
241
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,559
H has decided to follow
the steps of the stranger.
242
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,439
He will inform the guy
that hired him..
243
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,800
of his situation the next day
244
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,719
that Factorovich guy..
245
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,279
is little more
than an abstraction to H now.
246
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,239
The whole situation
s all so illogical.
247
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,879
that he finds it hard to think
he is there..
248
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:25,639
for some tangible reason
249
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,919
that he's actually being
paid to be there.
250
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,559
The stranger kills time
throwing stones into the river.
251
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,159
At one point he even puts
can in the water
252
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,999
to use it as a target.
253
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,159
H intends to stay up all night
of necessary
254
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,919
to figure out who this man is
and what he's doing there.
255
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,640
In less than half an hour
he falls asleep..
256
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,679
and won t wake till morning,
257
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,879
when a few meters
rom where he sleeps.
258
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,039
another explosion occurs.
259
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,078
CHAPTER X CESAR
260
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,519
Very well Back here again.
261
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,719
Surprise1.
262
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,039
Where do you come from?
263
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,519
Looks like Zamudio's
little trick..
264
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,319
didn't turn up so well!
265
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,199
Zamudio's trick, and yours.
266
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,639
Zamudio sent you.
267
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,159
He gets nothing!
268
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,759
Clear enough?
269
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,159
I! D say I won the game,
270
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,078
and when you see Zamudio
with the remains of the boat,
271
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,879
send him my regards
272
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,041
send him my regards.
273
00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:03,679
He gets nothing!
274
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,639
explains to the stranger.
275
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,799
that he has no idea
who Zamudio is.
276
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,320
He explains who he is
and what he is doing there.
277
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,559
He explains as best as he can
about the monoliths.
278
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,279
The stranger goes on
about Zamudio.
279
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,599
When he hears
about the monoliths,
280
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,159
he shuts up.
281
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,239
The stranger thinks
for a moment.
282
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,199
He seems perplexed
283
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,679
he finally ends up admitting..
284
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,359
he had received
identical instructions.
285
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,919
Many years ago. He had worked
for the La Plata River Company.
286
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,839
A couple of days ago,
287
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,559
someone had contacted him
rid hired him
288
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,599
to destroy any evidence
of the Company's project.
289
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,639
The stranger admits
he received no explanations.
290
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,239
He doesn't know why he is doing
what he is doing either.
291
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,959
They simply offered him
a lot of money.
292
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,839
The stranger also describes
the man that hired him.
293
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,319
Though neither one knows it
294
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,399
it's clearly Bagnasco
he is describing.
295
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,439
Bagnasco. Once again
was winning the match.
296
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,239
That was it.
297
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,879
That's why the stranger
was destroying the monoliths.
298
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:30,720
Who Zamudio is
H will never know nor will we.
299
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,359
All we know is that
due to this Zamudio.
300
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,599
H is left without a boat
301
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,599
cheer up1 Cesar.
302
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,679
Cesar and H take off together.
303
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,959
Even though
they have opposing missions
304
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,719
even though one's victory
is the other one's defeat.
305
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,199
Cesar explains,
They hire me to dynamite
306
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,639
I dynamite of someone wants
307
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,519
to take photos before
then let him."
308
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,639
Before H can reply,
Cesar starts the engine.
309
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,879
He lets out a chuckle
and announces, ", it's a deal"
310
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,159
Cesar had been born
in the Leeward Islands.
311
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,239
in the Atlantic.
312
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,959
He looked about 70 years old,
but could be much older.
313
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,839
He was the son
fa German merchant
314
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,639
and a French woman
who died when Cesar was a boy.
315
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,519
He had spent almost
all of his youth traveling,
316
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,239
accompanying his father
on business
317
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,279
around Venezuela
and the Guayanas
318
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,559
he said with pride...
319
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,239
he had never set foot
in a school or church.
320
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,199
At 18, he had married
Venezuelan girl
321
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,199
and had a son with her.
322
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,919
Soon after, he had set sail
on an English tanker.
323
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,799
He never heard from them again.
324
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,599
He had worked at an oil plant
on the Orinoco delta.
325
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,399
He had been a supervisor
on the Panama Channel.
326
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,559
And though not an engineer;
he had been Chief Engineer
327
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,039
on a pipeline in Brazil.
328
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,880
He had lived in Arabia
for a year
329
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,559
where he had another son.
330
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,199
At 40 while working
on dredging a river in Guyana
331
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,239
he met a man, an Argentine,
a Mr. Pehaflor or Penafort.
332
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,639
who took him south to work
for the La Plata River Company.
333
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,319
He had made a good career
for himself there.
334
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,559
He had been
director or manager.
335
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,479
and even had his own office.
336
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,599
However, he returned
to working on the river.
337
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,679
of his own free will.
338
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,599
In Argentina he had remarried,
but had no children.
339
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,759
He said he didn't remember
that last wife's name.
340
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,479
Susana or maybe Zulema.
341
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,919
The last project
he had worked on.
342
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,479
had been precisely
the Pampas River Canal.
343
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:27,039
Since then he had been dedicated
344
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,519
to "investments
and private projects".
345
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,479
In any case" H thinks
346
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,799
it's not like
he looks particularly wealthy".
347
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,679
When the day is over;
H resigns himself to feeling...
348
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,599
things are completely
ut of his frame.
349
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,399
of logic and understanding.
350
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,118
Let's go on " he thinks
God willing".
351
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,799
Against all odds things
improve the following day.
352
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,439
H can finally do the job
he has been sent to do
353
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,959
Cesar knows the exact
location of each monolith.
354
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,919
With him, the trip
is much quicker and easier.
355
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,239
Perhaps running into him
wasn't so bad after all.
356
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,078
Yet H can't help wondering
of they are really doing.
357
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,159
what they're expected to do.
358
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,319
Z is on the road again.
359
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:12,599
This time he is much farther
360
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,599
from the paths he already knows.
361
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,599
These roads
are different from his.
362
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,319
They are bigger.
363
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,559
There are more towns
more traffic and activity.
364
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,639
Z realizes he world of the road
365
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,199
is a kind of shelter for him,
366
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,118
a landscape he must return
to over and over again.
367
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,199
Every once in a while,
half joking and half serious,
368
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,639
he asks himself
of the whole Cuevas thing..
369
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,959
IS just
a strange excuse to be there.
370
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,120
Having dealt with
he bureaucratic problems
371
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:45,599
that brought him there,
Z studies the map.
372
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,399
To reach the farm,
373
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,159
he must follow
he domestic road.
374
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,719
for a few kilometers.
375
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,639
Then take the solitary
provincial road..
376
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,319
for 30 or 40 km to a dirt road.
377
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,599
Then just follow that
until he reaches the farm.
378
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,319
There are no more explanations.
379
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,919
"Now what?" Z thinks.
380
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,519
He hadn't thought of it
until now.
381
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,078
Here I am Now what do I do7
I can't leave or go in.
382
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,919
How could I?
What if there are people?"
383
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,639
He decides to hide
and wait to see what happens.
384
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,719
Three hours later he thinks
There's nobody here
385
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,159
"I'm going in".
386
00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:52,559
Okay here's the deal.
387
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,759
Z's going onto private
property, an unknown place.
388
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,319
He has no idea
what he's really looking for.
389
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,799
Maybe it's time to go
over the strange events.
390
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,559
that brought him there,
391
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:07,919
he odd sequence of events.
392
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:09,839
which led him
to that state of affairs.
393
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,319
The place he is entering
is a loose end.
394
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,759
the last link on a map
full of names
395
00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:22,799
that form a kind of code,
secret system.
396
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,759
designed by a dead man.
397
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,559
whose life Z seems
immersed in and can't escape.
398
00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:34,599
A life that carries
the promise of a large,
399
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,439
mysterious sum of money
no one knows nothing about
400
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,078
no one but Z.
401
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,639
So what is he doing there?
Looking for the money?
402
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,919
Does he think it's there?
403
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,078
Does he think he can recover?
404
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,599
Or is he simply going
405
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,159
without really
understanding why?
406
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,639
It's not clear
407
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,639
ut it's good to know.
408
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,679
the series of events
that led us here
409
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,118
because what is about to happen
s so weird and crazy
410
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,479
we could easily get confused...
411
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,839
and think
that it's all random or mad.
412
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,559
So after walking
for twenty minutes.
413
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,199
finds a row of sheds.
414
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,759
surrounded by a forest
of cypresses and pines.
415
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,639
The Pyrenees Stud Farm at last.
416
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,479
There are no signs
of recent activity.
417
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,319
Like it had been abandoned
nastily as if the staff
418
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,639
had to flee for some reason
419
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,879
ut in one of the rooms..
420
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,519
he finds signs
of recent activity.
421
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,079
Syringes, chemical products,
veterinarian implements
422
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,519
and a box with the name
Colonel' on it.
423
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,479
Z asks himself,
"Who is this Colonel?"
424
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,959
Are there still
more characters in this story?".
425
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,999
Z hesitates. It must have been
the wind he thinks.
426
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,519
For a few seconds
there is no noise.
427
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,319
Then the whining continues.
428
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,759
It repeats, each time
getting stronger.
429
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,639
like a call for help.
430
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,119
Z thinks "The Colonel!".
431
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,999
The "Colonel" is a lion
432
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,919
CHAPTER XI
THE EPISODE OF THE LION
433
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,599
First he freezes.
434
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,039
Then he realizes
the lion is no threat to him.
435
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,679
It's old and sick
and about to die
436
00:37:14,479 --> 00:37:18,359
Clearly the staff ad taken away
437
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,599
all the other animals
and left the lion
438
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,319
He must have been too sick.
439
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,399
for such a fast
and dangerous move
440
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,999
They wanted to ensure
a dignified death
441
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,999
Z spends many hours
sitting next to the lion.
442
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,199
Strangely since he arrived...
443
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,399
the lion
has stopped complaining.
444
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,759
His mere being there
soothes the lion
445
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,879
forgets he is next
446
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,519
to a fierce wild beast
and relaxes
447
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,479
He reflects on his life.
448
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,639
and the absurdity
of the last few months
449
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,039
He lets his memories
wash over him
450
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:55,999
He thinks about his childhood,
451
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,719
stuff he hadn't
thought of for ages
452
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:02,599
A passer by would take them
or two old friends
453
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,479
who don't need to talk
454
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,639
Z feels so comfortable
to full of friendly feelings..
455
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,799
that he can't help thinking
of the lion as a dog
456
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,519
or even a person.
457
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,839
At some point this idyllic
situation is cut short
458
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,319
From far away
he hears an engine.
459
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,119
It gets closer by the minute
460
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,638
Hello, my friend1
461
00:39:40,919 --> 00:39:43,239
How are you7
462
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,519
Soso?
463
00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:58,479
It's cold
464
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,799
What's wrong7 You have a fever?
465
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,999
Let's see
466
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,799
Damn1
467
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,479
Well, what can you do, comrade?
468
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,039
What can you do, buddy7
469
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,919
Everything in life has its end.
470
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,719
Am I wrong?
471
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,399
Don't worry, old man
472
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,479
It's almost over
473
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,999
You can't complain.
474
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,999
You lived a long life
475
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,639
You lived so many years
476
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,999
I remember you were
around before Popeye
477
00:41:27,839 --> 00:41:30,479
Yes, before Popeye's arrival.
478
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,399
I remember it too well
479
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,759
Some beauty, that animal.
480
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,999
Popeye. I hear they've got
him in the north, in Brazil
481
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:54,599
Colonel!
482
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,799
What a treat!
483
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,039
Colonel, my Colonel the lion
484
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,199
My colonel, the lion
a majestic warrior.
485
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,559
African by birth
and Creole by adoption
486
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,479
Today I sing you
this farewell song.
487
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,119
I made for you on my own
because as a good Creole..
488
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,639
I know how to address a king
in his dying hour
489
00:42:46,839 --> 00:42:48,319
A few minutes later,
he lion devours.
490
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,039
the contents of the plate.
491
00:42:50,279 --> 00:42:54,479
After that. X witnesses
the lion's long agony.
492
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:59,079
First there is total silence
for a quarter of an hour.
493
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,999
Then the lion begins
to breathe heavily
494
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,919
as though he is agitated
495
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,439
Suddenly this agitation
becomes fury
496
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,399
and the lion roars like thunder
497
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,479
He roars for a while,
ten minutes or more.
498
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,479
No one would think then
he is about to die
499
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,439
He acts like a lion
in the prime of his life.
500
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,519
majestic and imposing.
501
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,838
He's quiet for a while
like a statue.
502
00:43:38,839 --> 00:43:41,559
He remains that way. Immobile.
503
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:51,759
Then he begins to deteriorate
and emits a long loud groan
504
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,439
An almost human moan
that lasts for several minutes.
505
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,799
Maybe half an hour
506
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,719
Finally he stops.
You only hear his breathing
507
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,679
It is more and more quiet,
until it is almost inaudible
508
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,279
The lion curls up
as though preparing to sleep
509
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,639
His body is still except
for some slight movements.
510
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,439
On the head.
the belly and the tail.
511
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,199
He lets out a last roar
that seems to defy everything
512
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,839
loud and hair raising roar.
513
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,919
that resonates
for various minutes
514
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:41,999
Then there is silence.
515
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,319
That silence means
the lion is dead.
516
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,799
After the lion dies
things happen rapidly
517
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,479
Z can no longer see clearly
what is happening.
518
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,519
The situation becomes confusing
519
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,839
Z's memories become chaotic.
520
00:46:59,559 --> 00:47:01,439
He remembers a horrible
feeling of drowsiness
521
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,519
He remembers
fighting to stay awake
522
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:07,601
awakening
in the midst of a fire...
523
00:47:07,679 --> 00:47:09,599
not having
the strength to stand,
524
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:13,999
walking through the flames.
525
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,959
being outside he storage shed
526
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,279
and not knowing
how he fled the place
527
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,879
He remembers hearing
the shed collapse behind him
528
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:29,279
He remembers running aimlessly
for hours in the open field.
529
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,119
He remembers.
and this is strange.
530
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,279
a vague sense of euphoria,
due perhaps to the chemicals
531
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:39,678
he inhaled in the fire.
532
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,480
He remembers lying down
in the middle of the field
533
00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:45,319
and waking
to an odd noise and light
534
00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:47,558
like that of a tank or tram.
535
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,678
Then he remembers nothing else.
536
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,279
Come and eat
as much as you can1
537
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,239

CHAPTER XII
THE LOLA GALLO AFFAIR
542
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,319
FM Etoile
star in the lonely night...
543
00:48:27,679 --> 00:48:29,239
X has lost count of the days..
544
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,039
he has been locked up
in the hotel
545
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,199
The room is now his world
546
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:39,439
Like a zoo animal,
all he can do is watch
547
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:44,519
the bit of earth
that fate gave him
548
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,279
This is X's life: the window
that looks out
549
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,199
on the village square.
the bathroom window
550
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:52,880
that looks
onto the back of the hotel,
551
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,039
and the wall that he shares
with the next room over
552
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,479
This is now his home.
his kingdom
553
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,400
He does little more
than look out of the window,
554
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,039
all day long.
555
00:50:07,679 --> 00:50:09,240
He finds out that the life
of the town..
556
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,639
is a clockwork
precise mechanism.
557
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,759
A man crosses the square
every day at 9
558
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,239
He wears either
a blue or a grey suit
559
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:23,119
Each day, X waits
or him to go by
560
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,759
and bets on which he will wear.
561
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,479
Along the back wall
562
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,079
he notices the light
in two rooms is identical.
563
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:34,199
He guesses rooms 308 and 415
564
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,359
are watching
the same TV channel
565
00:50:37,559 --> 00:50:40,639
These sill things amuse him
and fill up his hours
566
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,599
One day he sees a man
with a girl
567
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,039
who works in a bar
on the square.
568
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:48,799
He talks a lot
569
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,479
But nothing happens
They remain distant.
570
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,399
The same thing happens
a few times
571
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,319
One day X sees the man
hiding behind the fountain.
572
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:04,999
He's waiting to see
if she comes along
573
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,599
X realizes the man is trying
to force an encounter
574
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,079
When she sees him
575
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,199
he resumes his performance
and they keep walking.
576
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,799
A few days later X sees...
577
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,439
how she discovers
his trick and avoids him.
578
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:48,519
X feels for this man
He wants to advise him
579
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,759
He wants to tell him,
Not yet1 Patience!"
580
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,759
For a few days they don't show
581
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,559
X looks for them
but they do not come by
582
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,799
A week later they appear again
together, and seem relaxed
583
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,439
They sit and talk happily.
584
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,399
He puts his hand on her leg
and she doesn't remove it
585
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,999
Then his arm round her shoulder
586
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,439
and she lets him.
587
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:36,999
For a couple of days.
they do not show
588
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:41,559
A week later
589
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,439
X sees them on the square.
hugging, in love
590
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:55,559
This is X's love life,
watching women with other men.
591
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,079
arguing with other men,
ailing in and out of love...
592
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,279
with other men,
making love to other men.
593
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,919
Once, he finds
a more lasting love.
594
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:12,599
She stays one of the back rooms
595
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:14,879
where only traveling merchants
596
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,279
or old married couples
usually stay.
597
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,639
Like him. She seems to spend
all day at the hotel
598
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,079
spies on her all the time.
599
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,199
and quickly
memorizes her routine.
600
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,999
She never has breakfast
She gets up around noon.
601
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,639
She sunbathes from her window
602
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,439
Around lunchtime she leaves.
603
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:44,519
She comes back at dusk
604
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,439
She chain smokes
until it is night.
605
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,759
Around 8
she usually gets a call.
606
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:52,879
She talks
for about half an hour
607
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,199
She talks and argues violently.
608
00:53:57,720 --> 00:53:59,519
After the call she takes a bath.
609
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,679
She takes an hour long bath
610
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,759
She throws herself on the bed.
611
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,959
For a fairly long time,
X barely sees her.
612
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:13,799
Then she writes for hours.
613
00:54:15,240 --> 00:54:18,079
He goes to bed
before she is done
614
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,841
What does she do?
Why does she live in a hotel?
615
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,000
Where does she go
when she goes out?
616
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:26,879
Who does she argue with
617
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,599
What is she writing? X somehow
feels that he knows her
618
00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:33,120
He knows when she is
in a good mood..
619
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,519
and when she is not
620
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,399
He knows
when something worries her...
621
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,079
and what kind of things
make her laugh
622
00:54:38,359 --> 00:54:41,039
In some ways
he feels they are alike
623
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,039
One day she goes out at noon
and doesn't return till late
624
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,479
When she finally shows up.
X finds he is jealous.
625
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,200
She has become
a kind of companion for him,
626
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,479
someone who shares his life
627
00:54:57,119 --> 00:54:58,919
She doesn't even
know he is alive.
628
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:00,919
nor has she even seen him.
629
00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:03,759
Yet she makes his days
go by easier.
630
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,559
and makes him feel less lonely
631
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,759
One day at breakfast
632
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:19,839
X notices
his neighbour is there too
633
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:24,519
It's the first time
he has had breakfast
634
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,399
since X has known her
635
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,999
For half an hour
X watches her write
636
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,439
read the newspaper
and sip her coffee
637
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,559
When she is done
she passes nearby,
638
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,999
but their eyes never meet.
639
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,079
X does not like this change
He feels it is a bad omen
640
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,639
By nightfall
the neighbour is gone
641
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,118
the news on the Armas' case.
642
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,358
begin to subside
in the newspapers
643
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,479
The reporters forget about him
644
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,839
Only X follows his trail
through sporadic news.
645
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,519
and anonymous crimes
646
00:56:20,119 --> 00:56:22,039
A stolen car someone
ho breaks into a house
647
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,519
and takes nothing, someone
reporting intimidating calls
648
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,599
X sees Armas' shadow
in each of these cases.
649
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,319
Each new incident is an excuse
to stay in the hotel.
650
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,399
It's not time yet" he thinks.
He's still out there"
651
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,559
What is really going on
is that he likes this life
652
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,439
he doesn't want it to end.
653
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,559
Everyday he listens to the news.
654
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,759
and reads the paper as a ritual
655
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,679
He asks himself over and over
What does he want?
656
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,358
Why does he want the file?
What is he really looking for?"
657
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:06,400
One day something the newspaper
658
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:07,839
catches his eye
659
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,679
The article says "Mysterious
disappearance of a woman."
660
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,759
X has a hunch
and starts reading it
661
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,559
He reads it over and over
the next days.
662
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,399
He becomes an expert.
663
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,599
He analysis it
664
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,199
He doesn't rest
until he believes.
665
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,039
he finally has an answer
666
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,519
The case is as follows.
Lola Gallo 28 years old.
667
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,039
married to a farm
machine salesman.
668
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,719
no children, disappeared
leaving no trace
669
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,639
She was last seen
leaving home in her car,
670
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:49,079
carrying a sports bag.
671
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,519
The car was found abandoned
by the roadside.
672
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,559
50 km from the town
673
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,199
There were no signs of violence.
674
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,839
Declaring their relationship
was perfect
675
00:57:59,359 --> 00:58:00,959
the husband was desperate.
676
00:58:02,119 --> 00:58:05,439
Different theories emerge
but the same facts remain
677
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,039
Lola Gallo disappeared...
678
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,879
as if earth had swallowed her
679
00:58:11,359 --> 00:58:12,999
Some days later.
the announcement is made.
680
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,999
that renowned inspector
Raul Sera in takes the case
681
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,479
His credentials are impressive.
682
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,358
era in quickly shows...
683
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:23,919
that he is good at what he does
684
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:25,559
It's enough for him
to question the husband...
685
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,479
to give the case
a whole new dimension
686
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,841
The photos
after the interrogation.
687
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,519
show him looking triumphant
688
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,999
In an impromptu
press conference,
689
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,279
he reveals his findings
690
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,118
First Lola Gallo nd her husband
691
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,919
were not legally married
692
00:58:42,359 --> 00:58:44,358
Apparently she never wanted to
693
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,999
Second. The husband
knows nothing..
694
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,599
about Lola's past...
695
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,199
aside from a few childhood
and youth memories.
696
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,639
about which
he didn't know much either
697
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,639
Third The man
ad never met her parents.
698
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,599
or anyone that knew her
699
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:06,519
He had never asked questions
He had simply fallen in love.
700
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,719
Fourth. There were
no photos of Lola
701
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,399
Not a single one.
702
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,159
According to her husband
she hated photos.
703
00:59:18,359 --> 00:59:20,439
A couple of times
He took a photo of her.
704
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,479
without her realizing,
and when she found them.
705
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,519
she burned them
706
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,039
Fifth (and here is
where Sera in outdid himself)
707
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,919
the husband couldn't be sure
he had ever seen her ID
708
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,919
He didn't know her name.
Lola is not a name."
709
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:35,599
Sera in told him
710
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,479
The husband didn't know
how to answer
711
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:44,559
There wasn't any Miss Gallo
that matched her description.
712
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,599
Sera in's final words
We don't know who she is,
713
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:52,839
where she is
what she looks like.
714
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,039
why she left.
what her story is or her name.
715
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,759
We know nothing"
716
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:05,639
X closes the newspaper.
717
01:00:06,119 --> 01:00:08,039
He spends days
trying to solve the case
718
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,279
He is sure the Gallo
and Armas cases are related
719
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:14,679
He doesn't know why
but he believes this.
720
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:16,679
He goes through the the folder.
721
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,279
through the clippings
on Armas and on Lola Gallo
722
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,479
and draws and writes on them
723
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,999
He comes up with a long list
of questions and hypotheses
724
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,559
The correct theory
ill be the one
725
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,719
filling all the gaps,"
he thinks
726
01:00:31,359 --> 01:00:33,599
Three days later
he comes up with a theory
727
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,279
First the facts Oyarzun dies
728
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,118
in the Massacre
of the San Martin Mill
729
01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:41,959
However.
the gold never appears.
730
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,439
Ardiles. Oyarzun's relative.
is unfairly sent to prison.
731
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,759
They never find the gold
732
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,479
The Armases, who do participate
in the robbery, are free.
733
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,479
However, a confidential dossier
can send them to prison.
734
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,159
Orlando Rey,
735
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,079
who for some reason
has kept the dossier
736
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,519
receives the news
that someone wants to buy it.
737
01:01:06,119 --> 01:01:07,759
and he contacts this person
738
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,079
Who wants to buy it9
739
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,999
Who profits from the Armases1
going to jail?
740
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,279
Someone who wants Ardiles free?
741
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,519
Someone who has the gold
742
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,440
from the Massacre
of the San Martin Mill...
743
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:23,959
and fears
the Armas will find it?
744
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,599
In which case Armas knows...
745
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,919
there was someone else
at the massacre
746
01:01:31,119 --> 01:01:33,118
Armas knows
that person has the gold
747
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,799
Armas wants the gold.
748
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,039
and that's why
He has to find this person
749
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:40,919
Armas knows
that finding the person
750
01:01:41,119 --> 01:01:42,399
who wanted to buy the dossier
751
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:43,839
will mean he finds the gold.
752
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,118
In short * This person needs
the Armases to be in jail.
753
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,681
This person lives hidden away.
under a false identity..
754
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,559
til he finds the dossier...
755
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,519
that will put
the Armases in jail
756
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,919
This person reads
bout the Rey's death
757
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,919
and concludes that Armas
already has the file.
758
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,599
This person knows
he has lost his last chance.
759
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:05,999
that he is unprotected.
760
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,919
and the only thing
he can do is run.
761
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,479
That person is Lola Gallo
762
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,519
Lola Gallo,
or whatever her real name is
763
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,439
participates
without the Armases' knowing
764
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,358
in the Massacre
of the San Martin Mill.
765
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:24,439
Perhaps she is Oyarzun's lover
or daughter or an accomplice
766
01:02:26,119 --> 01:02:28,439
In any case Lola manages
to escape with the gold..
767
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,199
and disappears.
768
01:02:30,359 --> 01:02:31,679
She invents a new identity,
769
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,559
gets a poor fool
to fall in love with her
770
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,559
and hides away for years
771
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,319
But Lola knows the Armases
don๏ฟฝt stay put forever..
772
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,081
and knows she won't be safe
while they are on the loose
773
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,079
She finds out about a file
that Orlando Rey is hiding.
774
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,559
Lola contacts him
and offers to buy it
775
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,159
She reads about Rey's death...
776
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,358
and worries he gave the Armases
the little data he had on her
777
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,519
They are close." she thinks.
778
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,919
She stops being Lola Gallo
and disappears without a trace.
779
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,519
A few days later
a newspaper publishes a story
780
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:09,839
Lola Gallo's case is closed
781
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,879
The husband has decided
to withdraw the missing report
782
01:03:15,359 --> 01:03:18,599
He says she called and was fine
783
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,959
She was visiting some relatives
broad and said
784
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,319
she would stay there
for a while
785
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,999
The story was absurd,
obviously a lie fabricated...
786
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,199
by the husband's poor imagination
787
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,358
et he insisted..
788
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,079
on withdrawing
the missing report.
789
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,399
A furious
Inspector Sera in declared
790
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,679
Someone's been pulling my leg"
791
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:47,519
Thrilled, X thinks
792
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,519
She's done it
he managed to escape"
793
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,799
The case is closed
She fooled them all"
794
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,199
Then adds with some pride,
"All but me"
795
01:04:04,119 --> 01:04:05,759
But this isn't really the case
796
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,839
X is wrong about everything.
797
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:13,799
He will never know it
but his entire theory is wrong
798
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,399
Lola's case has nothing
to do with the Armas case
799
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,679
The Armases know nothing
about Lola and vice versa
800
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:25,479
except in X's imagination.
The truth is far different.
801
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,479
Meanwhile hundreds
of kilometers away
802
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,559
the real Lola Gallo calmly
finishes breakfast
803
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:40,759
breathes in the morning air
gets in her car and drives on.
804
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,599
1. THE HUSBAND
805
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,359
It's true he had never asked
or known anything about her
806
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,919
The way she came
into his life was so strange...
807
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:54,639
that he had wanted to avoid
asking about her life,
808
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,519
making any decisions,
demanding anything of her
809
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,561
He didn't want to do anything
alarm her.
810
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,359
or to make her leave
as suddenly as she had arrived
811
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,519
Deep down, he had always known
things could end this way
812
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,639
But as long as he could
avoid that or put it off
813
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,239
he would do anything necessary
814
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,599
Within the week
of their first date,
815
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,039
they were living together
816
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,439
He always felt she was hiding.
817
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,799
that he was a piece of wood
he used to stay afloat.
818
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,679
after a shipwreck
819
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,839
This somehow assured him
leveled things out
820
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,439
and gave him a way
to handle things
821
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,999
To him she had always been.
822
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,799
a luxurious gift given to him
by mistake
823
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,519
a creature of another world,
an undeserved blessing
824
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,959
There was an unspoken pact
floating between them
825
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:52,719
They didn't fool themselves
826
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:54,519
She stayed with him.
827
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,799
but was always distant.
enigmatic like a cat
828
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,279
That was the best she could do.
829
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,599
It was more
than he had ever had
830
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,559
It was the happiest
time in their lives
831
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,199
Everything she did amazed him
832
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,839
The way she spoke.
833
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,559
how she looked
at him in the morning
834
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,599
always awake before him
835
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,599
the way she listened
to his news every day
836
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,439
like a mother
touched by her son
837
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:25,879
That's why
hen she finally left..
838
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,959
and he made such a fuss.
he almost felt like a traitor.
839
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,599
Those were the rules."
he kept telling himself
840
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,279
It was always dear
this would happen.
841
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,759
However, he couldn't
just let her go..
842
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,719
and return meekly
to his world of men,
843
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:45,199
tractors, earth and mud.
It was too much to ask, Lola
844
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,039
Will she think about me again?
845
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,159
Or have I just been
a part of her disguise?
846
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,559
Did I ever exist to her?๏ฟฝ
847
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,439
He clung to this question
as though it were sacred
848
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,519
Because he knew
is time with her
849
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,919
was the only time in his life
when he had been somebody
850
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,479
when he had really existed
851
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,079
Then she called
Drop this whole scandal."
852
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,519
she told him like a mother
talking to her child
853
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,239
Calm down Come
to a certain place...
854
01:08:32,440 --> 01:08:34,159
at a certain time
on a certain day..
855
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:35,759
and I will explain it all."
856
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,719
Then she hung up and
disappeared once again
857
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,279
2 THE OLD MAN
858
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,399
When the old man
saw her for the first time,
859
01:09:55,440 --> 01:09:57,559
she wasn't even 15
860
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,799
He thought "I won't do this
there must be a limit
861
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,199
I have made many mistakes
but I won't make this one."
862
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:17,639
A week later
863
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,399
they had traveled together
all the roads..
864
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:20,919
from one end to the other
865
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:22,399
and the old man
hardly remembered...
866
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,359
what it had been like
to be without her
867
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,199
These things happened with Lola
868
01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:28,719
Once she arrived, it was like
she had always been there
869
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:33,119
The old man liked to think
of himself as a gambler,
870
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,479
even a strategist
871
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,359
He didn't work to make money
nor did he want t he rich.
872
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,479
or prosperous, or settle down
873
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:42,879
He enjoyed gambling,
inventing goals
874
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,199
enemies and battles.
875
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,599
He always gave advice
like a teacher
876
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,799
The key not to settle down..
877
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,919
and never need
anything from anyone.
878
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:55,599
You must know when to leave
You must always be ready to go
879
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,238
When they blink
you are already gone
880
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,679
The key. Babe is to be
always ready to lose it all...
881
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,359
in one strike
882
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,359
Never forget it because
that's what will happen to you."
883
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,801
They traveled from one side
of the province to the other
884
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,519
over a hundred times
885
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,319
There were days
hey didn't have a cent.
886
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,479
and days when they were rich.
887
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:28,519
They loved each other dearly.
888
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,879
but acted cold
towards each other
889
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,519
What did they want to prove?
890
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,439
Could they live
without each other?
891
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,279
The old man thought
892
01:11:36,480 --> 01:11:38,039
Nobody makes her laugh
Like I do.
893
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,519
and no one ever will."
894
01:11:41,480 --> 01:11:42,999
And he was right about that
895
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,319
after all that happened
896
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:47,439
and all the paths
er life followed
897
01:11:47,719 --> 01:11:50,399
Lola never laughed again
like she had back then.
898
01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:55,359
When the old man left
why'd he go?
899
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,799
One day perhaps he thought
I can't live without her"
900
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,479
The next day,
she had already left.
901
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,039
He realized he hadn't been
alone for years
902
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:06,999
He felt vertigo
903
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,599
For the first time in his life
he felt old.
904
01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:13,279
But one of his mottos
made him feel better
905
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,439
My friend, once again,
he road is all ours."
906
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:39,599
For months he avoided
ny chance.
907
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,599
of crossing paths with her
908
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,079
Then hopeless.
he searched for her
909
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,599
He looked
all across the province.
910
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:48,559
He who knew her better
han anyone
911
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:50,479
was about to give up
912
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,718
"She really is good She's
better than me " he thought.
913
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,399
When she finally appeared
married to some poor fool
914
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,959
who sold tractors
in a town out west
915
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,039
the old man realized
He was nervous
916
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,399
as though before a first date.
917
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:06,559
What would he say?
Might she not want to see him 9
918
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,159
He left her a small note
on the front door
919
01:13:09,719 --> 01:13:11,718
I missed you a lot,"
without a signature
920
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:16,319
Why9 The old man realized
he felt like a 15 year old boy
921
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:18,559
But she didn't show up.
922
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,479
He waited for her for hours
923
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,919
and at night
he went to find her
924
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,119
But she had already gone
925
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,439
When she finally was in touch
with him and gave him a place,
926
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:51,479
a day and a time to meet her
he found he was scared
927
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,199
I'm too old for these games"
928
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,599
He looked at his watch
and found he still had time
929
01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:39,199
Hello How are you?
930
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,559
Did you introduce yourselves?
931
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:46,599
Sort of No
932
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,119
3 THE MEETING
933
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:35,959
When she finally
had them together
934
01:17:36,480 --> 01:17:38,519
she couldn't help laughing.
935
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,559
The situation was dramatic
ut when she saw
936
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,319
the two standing together
next to the door
937
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:43,679
he thought of two boys
938
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,679
waiting
for the teacher to arrive.
939
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,279
There they were.
940
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,279
The two men of her life.
The fool and the know-it all
941
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,679
The one who had shown her
He world and the one
942
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,599
who had saved her life.
943
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,079
And she explained to them
how her life had been
944
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,119
telling it as if
it were a story
945
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,119
First to one. Then to the other
946
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:04,999
This is the man that
came before you."
947
01:18:05,239 --> 01:18:07,159
This is the man who was
with me when you left"
948
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:09,599
The old man, of course
949
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,479
dealt with the situation better
950
01:18:11,480 --> 01:18:13,359
He was more mature
and made her laugh
951
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,559
but for the first time
she saw that he was artificial.
952
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,199
even ridiculous.
953
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:18,919
Years have passed" she thought
954
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:20,799
For him as well."
955
01:18:21,719 --> 01:18:23,559
The other was
more childish and clumsy.
956
01:18:23,719 --> 01:18:25,519
but also more sincere
957
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,519
Lola found
she had missed him a lot,
958
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,439
and she adored him.
959
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,279
She realized then and there,
when it was too late
960
01:18:41,480 --> 01:18:43,799
Time to let bygones be bygones
To move on to a new life
961
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,439
She knew she would get up
and they would be left..
962
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,319
watching her go
like two dogs in the ram
963
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,679
Well, she thought. "It's time
or them to become men"
964
01:18:58,480 --> 01:18:59,679
I'm leaving...
965
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:12,639
Go. Babe
966
01:19:14,440 --> 01:19:16,238
Which one of us
will you go with?
967
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:21,519
Certainly not with you
968
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,319
Bye
