Original subtitles

I hope you're enjoying your visit, signora.

Indeed I am. But who could not in Rome on a day like this?

True. And now, if you'll excuse us?

Baron, who is that man?

Pretty girl, who is she?

He's nothing.

If you meet him again, please ignore him.

He's a very dangerous man.

Sue Ann Daley.

They say before long she's going to be the richest girl in the world.

Now, what would you like to do this afternoon?

Only one more day.

Then we won't waste it.

I was never young in America.

But you're going home.

To your family, to things that really matter to you.

How do you know what matters to me?

I can't go back.

Of course you can.

You have to.

Don't make it difficult for me, too.

All my married life, there was no one else.

And now....

I've got a present for you.

Thank you.

It's beautiful.

The most beautiful cigarette case I have ever possessed.

Thanks.

Thank you, signore, signori.

I must tell you, signore, signori...

that none of this would have been possible without...

the generous assistance of Mrs. Lafayette Erickson.

Mrs. Erickson?

And I must also thank my friend and partner...

Dax Xenos, who has worked so hard...

and so enthusiastically to make this show a success.

Dax?

Lastly, I would like to thank Julius Caesar for the loan of the hall. Thank you.

I don't know what you see in that young man.

If you ask me he's a goddamned fairy.

The wedding dress. We'll buy it.

For the wedding of the year, the bride must have the dress of the year.

I'm sure she can afford it.

I met a divine painter in London, and we put on this show for him.

He was terrific, he'd put a little squiggle here....

Do you know Sue Ann Daley?

Only by sight.

My father's one of her trustees.

We were friends at school.

The way you are looking at her, you won't be friends much longer.

Excuse me.

-Hello. -Hello. I'm Dax Xenos.

I know.

I'm told you're the kind of person who's only interested in my money.

-Is that true? -Of course.

A hideous girl like you, what else could it be?

Anyway, I didn't say I was interested.

-Hello. -Is it a success?

Yes, I think so, but nobody except Marcel bought anything.

I'd like to buy.

-Buy what, Miss Daley? -Everything.

Everything? The collection?

Everything and the collection.

Well, thank you, I'm honored and rich. Thank you.

Who's that man who keeps following you?

Big Dennis.

-Detective? -Nanny.

Three weeks more.

Good evening, Baron.

Madame, sir. You have a beautiful home.

You are too kind. I have heard so much about you.

As Miss Daley's Trustees, we are happy to welcome her friends tonight.

But I'm not aware that you were invited.

Thank you. I'm delighted to be here.

-Hello, Caroline. -Hello.

-Congratulations, darling, you look beautiful. -Thank you.

-Hello, Sue Ann. -Hi.

-Sue Ann. -Yeah.

-Hi. -Hello.

-You look wonderful tonight. -Thanks.

You know what?

For the first time in my life...

I'm actually refusing food.

Maybe for the first time in your life, you're happy.

Maybe.

Big Dennis, your time's running out, you know.

Good evening.

I might rather miss him.

-Suppose I get lonely? -I'll be here.

Will you?

Hello.

Let's talk about my next collection. And dance.

-Marriage suits you, April. -I'm very happy.

-You should try it. -No, thank you.

Marriage is one of the few temptations I've always resisted.

Why don't you let yourself go for once and marry me?

Unfortunately, your father doesn't approve of me.

You mean he wouldn't keep you in the style to which you've become accustomed?

Possibly.

Happy birthday!

I'm free!

-Tell me. -No, you tell me.

-I love you. -What?

I love you.

Many happy returns!

As Miss Daley's Trustees...

we will authorize the payment of $400,000...

and an allowance of $4,000 a month...

both to take effect after the wedding ceremony.

I don't really think I could make Miss Daley very happy on a pittance like that.

Then what do you think you should have?

When a man's wife is heiress to $80 million...

he can't walk around with pennies in his pocket.

What kind of an impression would that make?

Would $500,000 and $5,000 a month make a better impression?

Slightly.

If you multiply it by two.

-By two. -Nonsense.

We are totally opposed to this marriage, Xenos.

We know what you are.

And it's our duty to protect Miss Daley as far as we can.

$500,000 and $5,000 a month is our last offer.

Well, that's a pity.

It looks so bad for the heir to one of the largest fortunes in the world...

to be a bastard.

Heir? What heir?

From Miss Daley's gynecologist.

I'm sorry.

Now, take it easy. He'll be here, I promise.

Well, where is he then?

Damn him. He's so late.

Where was he last night?

The stag party went on until breakfast, so....

This is really humiliating.

Well, it's the last time he marries me.

-I'm beginning to feel hungry again. -No.

Oh, God.

Where have you been?

Come along, will you?

Fat Cat. Welcome back.

Dax will be so glad to see you. He's missed you.

Sit down.

Where is he?

You've known Dax most of his life, haven't you?

You don't think I can make him happy, do you?

Do you think you can, signora? That is what matters.

I don't know.

I want him to feel for me as I do for him, but....

Dax does not feel things like other men.

For women, you mean?

Women. Everything.

He just does not feel.

That's why....

When the baby comes that'll make a difference, won't it?

It could.

Yes, it could.

-You'll get me all wet, you. -Where have you been all these weeks?

Well, you think I cannot get along without you?

-Here. -What?

I've brought this for you to see. From my cousin in Corteguay.

Read it.

-Pretty bad, huh? -Well...

the sugar crops are ruined by storms every year.

And the Secret Police, the curfew, and the prison camps.

That is Corteguay.

It always will be.

Until someone stops it.

It can't be stopped.

-Dax. -Yes?

Come push me, Dax.

Push me higher, Dax.

Higher.

Higher now.

Sue Ann.

Are you all right?

I think so.

Oh, no.

They've told you, haven't they, that I lost the baby?

Yes.

When you get out of here, we'll go away somewhere.

I should like that.

Forgive me.

I'm so sorry.

I know.

You wanted it to be a boy.

So did I.

We'll try again.

And next time we'll have a perfect baby.

I'll nurse myself like an invalid.

I won't swim. I won't dance.

I won't even sit on a swing.

And I'll present you with the fattest little Dax you ever saw.

That's right.

No.

I'm lying.

I'm lying, Dax, I'm not telling you the truth.

I can never have another baby.

I know.

They told you?

Why did you let me go on?

You mustn't upset yourself.

I've let you down, haven't I?

No, of course not.

Yes.

You married me for my money, Dax, I know that.

Well, I'm rich. I can give you everything you want.

Everything except....

The baby was so important.

It would have kept us together.

-I'm afraid now, Dax. -No.

You mustn't be afraid. Nothing's changed.

Nothing's different.

Please, don't leave me.

You must sleep now.

A rich man with a wife he doesn't love, who can't give him children.

What happens to him, Fat Cat?

El Lobo.

-It's almost time. -We're ready for them, El Lobo.

Listen.

Two flight arrivals in one week. A record.

Military aid. These two are loaded with arms.

Presidente is getting nervous.

Ride!

Excuse me.

Mr. Xenos, I'd like to ask you a few questions. I'm from Teen magazine.

Well, we all have our cross to bear.

Is it true that you've made love to every woman in this room?

Not yet.

You've been married three times?

And I've been co-respondent three times.

Why have all your wives been among the richest women in the world?

It was a deeply emotional experience. Did I ever tell you about--

Thank you.

Did you take the key to my apartment last night? I can't find it anywhere.

-See you tonight. -I'm sorry. I have to go home with Sue Ann.

Sue Ann.

I don't know why you always have to....

I'm sorry, I forgot. She's been your wife, too.

How is Sue Ann?

-I haven't spoken to her yet. -I haven't even seen her today.

You can always tell an old married couple by the way they avoid each other.

Yes.

Excuse me, Dax, will you?

Is that my husband making his getaway?

How are you?

You look marvelous.

I haven't stopped eating for six months.

-I'm sorry. -That's the way it goes.

Perhaps I shouldn't have married either of you.

-Would I have been happier then? -No.

Just fatter.

Where did you go this year?

Oh, around.

-Morocco, Italy. -Mexico?

To divorce Kiki. You're working faster than me.

You don't mind me still wearing your ring?

-Just one more. -This way, please. Thank you.

Please may I have your autograph, Miss Leonardi?

I saw your Traviata at La Scala, Milan.

It was a deeply emotional experience.

-It was meant to be. -Thank you.

Since when have you been interested in opera, Marcel?

Since I bought her recording company.

Excuse me.

Are the phones always busy at Teen magazine?

Not if you dial BR-98700.

It's special from the Embassy. Must be important.

-Embassy? -The Corteguayan Embassy.

''El Presidente is pleased to invite you to the unveiling of a memorial...

''to Jaime Xenos.

''Patriot and freedom fighter.''

You will not refuse to go?

That's why I don't like it.

I can't refuse.

If only we were celebrating a more happy occasion.

But your poor father would have been delighted.

Se�or, my poor father would have been disgusted.

He was a man of peace.

I can't help myself.

So long as there are still bandits in the hills...

and this one who calls himself El Lobo.

Do you think I'd want all this?

No, houses, Dax, hospitals, schools...

food, tractors, a five-year plan.

What do you think?

It will be very good to be a Corteguayan...

in five years' time.

You've been away from your country too long, Dax.

I didn't sentence myself to exile.

A new Corteguay. Modern, progressive.

But how to pay for it?

Where is the country that will lend us the money? America?

That's where you got your money, isn't it, Dax?

Three American wives. Three American bank accounts.

Did you bring me here to discuss my profession?

Sit down, Dax.

Over there, beside me.

That's better.

Now, Dax, I'll be frank with you.

-I need your help. -Don't ask, se�or.

In America, there is an organization sponsored by the Government.

The Overseas Aid Committee.

Now, if Dax Xenos...

the famous Dax Xenos were to approach a member of that committee....

-You have the wrong man. -No, I have the right man.

The man who loves his country and who will fight for his country.

Dax...

will you try?

Well, at least consider it.

We can talk again. You don't have to decide at once.

All right.

I'll consider it.

You know, it seems so natural to have you sitting there at my right hand.

I wish, well....

One day, perhaps.

Champagne? We both need it.

First of all, when I heard you were coming to Corteguay...

I felt I couldn't meet you.

Were you afraid?

Of you? No.

You're safe here, anyway.

It had to be here. I'm not allowed to leave.

-You are a prisoner? -Yes.

But I stay willingly now.

The nuns are kind. They're my friends.

Your father did this to you?

Yes. But I have accepted it.

He kills his enemies.

Here I've learned to love them. I'm quite happy.

But you're not free.

Not as you mean it, no.

-Because you are the President's daughter. -Yes.

But for that, you and I....

Sometimes I hear of you.

Your wives, the parties...

in Paris, Rome, New York.

I imagine I'm there with you instead of here.

You and I, it was a long time ago.

For me it was yesterday.

Yesterday never happens again.

No?

No.

Before you go....

There's something I must show you.

Hello.

Hello.

Look.

Butterfly. Butterflies.

Don't you know him?

-What's your name? -Marcus Phillipe.

Phillipe?

Phillipe Xenos.

Do you have any kisses for me?

-Only one left. -What, only one?

You went away.

Married. Became rich.

You got to go away for good?

Now I'm richer.

You'll take good care of him?

Always.

May I see you again when I come back?

Will you come back?

Whatever I decide, I shall come back.

It's not easy for me, Dax.

-It hurts. -I know.

But yes.

Whenever you like.

I hope.

Dax, you know I can't take this kind of music. Why did you bring me?

I'm wondering that myself.

Who are all these strange people?

Well, you did ask me to invite them.

-Hello, Marcel. -Hi.

I want to talk to you.

Is there somewhere quiet? Private?

Private? Why yes. Come along.

Dax, what do I do?

Enjoy the music, darling. Enjoy the music.

Is she that loud in bed?

Don't just stand there, Robert. Get drinks for the guests.

What the hell's going on?

It's very funny.

At last we've got....

At last we've got something in common.

It's very funny.

Sue Ann?

Yes.

Somewhere quiet. Somewhere private.

Some of my best deals have been made in these rooms.

-But who comes here? Your wife? -April?

She doesn't even know the place exists.

Very few people do.

Well, what do you want to talk to me about?

Corteguay.

They need money. A loan.

When have they not?

How much do they want?

About $60 million.

For tractors, medical equipment, that sort of thing.

And you have to raise this loan?

I said I'll try.

Makes sense.

Have you any contact with the Overseas Aid Committee?

Overseas Aid Committee? Let's see.

James Hadley. Vice Chairman.

He'd be your best bet.

-You know him? -Yes.

He's an oil man.

I helped him with a merger last year.

-Can you fix a meeting? -I could try.

That will be great.

Just like the old days.

With the same old 1 5%?

Not on a deal of this size.

-3%. -7.5%.

5%.

Okay. I'm a philanthropist.

Well, Dax, my boy, I must say this...

when Campion first told me who was sponsoring this loan...

I had my doubts.

After all, you do have, shall we say, a certain reputation?

I know that, Mr. Hadley.

Now that I've talked with you, I must admit. I'm impressed.

-Thank you. -Most impressed.

Maybe just a little envious, too.

My wife. Just back from a little shopping trip.

You'll be able to say hello, then fly right back to the airport.

-I'm most grateful for your hospitality. -Not at all.

About the loan, I'll put it before my committee on Wednesday.

I've little doubt they'll see it my way.

It means a great deal to me, Mr. Hadley. And to my country.

That I know, boy, that I know.

Hiya, sweetie.

-How was Frisco? -Fine, just fine.

I have a little surprise for you, honey.

You're just in time to meet my friend, Dax Xenos.

Happy to meet you, Mrs. Hadley.

Dax flew in from New York yesterday.

We're fixing up a little deal together.

And now you're going, Mr. Xenos?

I'm afraid so. I have to be back.

The White House on the line, sir.

Y'all excuse me, I'll be right back.

And, honey, don't you listen to a word he says.

He tells the same thing to all the wives.

Thank you, Dax.

You haven't changed.

Heavier. Thicker around the middle. The all-American matron.

Still beautiful. Still Deborah.

You remember that much.

One forgets the bad things, not the good.

I'm glad.

Maybe we both found happiness in Rome.

But I was the lucky one. I brought my happiness back here.

And kept it.

-We shall meet again. -Of course.

I hope you'll come and see us often.

Yes. Cigarette?

I promised myself, I'd never smoke again.

You two, getting along all right?

Dax, call me on Thursday.

-I might have a little word for you by then. -I'll do that.

Goodbye, Mrs. Hadley.

-It's been nice meeting you, Mr. Xenos. -And for me, too.

-Goodbye, Mr. Hadley. -Have a good trip.

Thanks.

I guess that's the last of the crates from here, mister.

And the rest is being loaded in Miami?

That's right, on Thursday.

Tractors, cultivators, harvesters...

-grain and fertilizers. -Fine.

Well, are you satisfied?

Now, you belong to Corteguay.

-Will you go back soon? -I've done my job.

I'm not needed there.

I think there are some of those who do need you.

Well, maybe. Maybe some day.

Miss Daley, do you have any immediate plans after your divorce?

Are there any plans after your divorce, Miss Daley?

Hi.

-Hello. -Hello, darling.

For two people about to get a divorce, you look very close.

Well, I promised him a holiday afterwards.

-We are flying to Mexico tonight. -Yes?

We might even fall in love all over again.

And we might not.

We can try.

Prince Nikovitch, will you come with me? The hearing commences in a few moments.

I don't think you met my wife.

Darling, this is....

Don't stay. It's quite unimportant.

At the end of it we shall still be the same people.

-Goodbye, Dax. -Bye.

It's like a public lavatory.

I'm rather fond of it. I've been here before.

And I suppose I'll go on coming here for the rest of my life.

No. You'll find somebody.

I'm the richest girl in the world. I don't find people, they find me.

All I can afford to do is lose them.

All rise.

I thought I'd throw my own party here.

A kind of going-away party.

Just you and me.

What's the matter with you, Robert? Are you sick?

-No. -Are you in some kind of trouble?

I've been thinking.

How much you and Sergei and Marcel have all changed.

How different you all are from those early days in Rome.

How little I've changed.

I'm still the same schoolboy who loses all his fights.

Is that all you brought me out here to tell me?

No.

It's the ship. Your ship.

It didn't dock in Miami on Thursday.

Didn't dock? Why, what happened?

-It docked in Panama on Sunday. -Panama?

-It had no business in Panama. -Yes, it had.

It took on a cargo of arms, tanks, artillery, and ammunition.

Who did this?

Marcel. Marcel and Rojo.

When?

Right after you had agreed to raise the loan.

Marcel flew to Corteguay and fixed the deal.

How long have you known?

-I've known. -And you didn't warn me?

I couldn't. Marcel made sure I couldn't.

You see, I've never had very much courage, Dax.

And Marcel introduced me to something which gave me courage.

Oh, you bloody fool.

Worry about your ship, not about me.

I'm a dead man. As soon as Marcel knows, anyway.

I'll take care of Marcel.

What are you going to do?

You'd better hurry, Dax.

There's not very much time.

I never can fix the last button, you know.

You were saying?

The poor always suffer the most.

They have the least to defend themselves with.

-This damn tie. -May I help?

Please.

You are an intelligent man, Marcel.

Tell us, how can El Rojo defeat the guerillas?

By killing them, I suppose.

And how are those people killed, Marcel?

With guns, of course.

And who sells those guns to Rojo?

Who gets paid by Rojo?

Who made the double-cross to Mr. Xenos?

You'll talk to us, Marcel.

Now.

You could never resist a deal, Marcel, could you?

Come on.

No!

No, Dax. Please.

Dax. No.

-Let me go. -Take him.

Dax, please.

Just one more deal now, Marcel. With me.

No.

What do you want? Dax, I know nothing.

Now.

Where is that shipment of arms to dock, Marcel?

I don't know.

Honestly, I don't.

The boat, where will it stop?

Only Rojo knows that, I swear.

Where?

Puerto San Pablo on the north coast.

When will it dock?

I don't know. It's not certain.

Nobody can hear you, Marcel. When?

No.

When?

Tomorrow night. Then by train to Curatu.

No.

So uncivilized, isn't it?

Dax! Please!

You can't leave me like this.

No. Please.

Come back, Dax!

Fat Cat, help me!

Help me, I'll give you anything! Anything.

Don't leave me like this. Don't make me....

I begin to believe you.

Why should I lie?

El Condor once trusted you. If this is another trap....

There is no trap.

Viva El Lobo.

Can I help you?

No.

What is it?

Don't you recognize me?

The boy of El Condor.

-You are El Condor's son? -Yes.

I don't forget you.

I shall never forget you.

You need help.

Not from you. I'd rather die.

It's a great day.

Rojo is finished.

Tomorrow, we attack the capital.

Have you lost many men?

Yes, but they lost more.

I know what you are thinking, but you are wrong.

My men aren't a rabble. They obey my orders.

There will be no massacres, no raping and pillaging in this revolution.

We'll fight to bring life to Corteguay...

not death.

Get on the train.

On to Curatu!

Rebel tanks.

Fire!

Fire!

Machine guns!

Fire!

Charge!

The situation is looking very satisfactory.

Sir.

General!

The rebels are in the suburbs. What do you say to that?

I say that they will be held and thrown back, Se�or Presidente.

And I say the rebels are in the suburbs.

Amparo.

-What happened? -Gone.

Where have they gone?

I have six children, they are always hungry, se�or.

Where?

Curatu, to the Convent of Santa Maria.

I know where it is, come on.

That door.

Amparo.

Dax.

-Phillipe? -Yes.

Pillage. Rape. Destruction. Death.

It's always the same.

Not only in Corteguay.

Other countries learn.

Slowly, but they do learn.

-But we have nothing. -No.

They can have more.

And you can have more, too. You and Phillipe.

We'll go to Rome. When this is over...

I'll go to the Palace, see El Lobo and arrange it.

And what about my father?

I'll do what I can.

Rome.

Is it possible?

El Lobo can't refuse to let us go.

He owes me more than that.

And in Rome, what then?

Will you leave me?

Don't save me just to leave me, Dax.

No, Amparo.

You and I and Phillipe...

we are all that's left of....

You're my family.

Oh, God.

You are my future.

Is that enough?

Yes.

Yes, it's enough.

I must go to the Palace.

When it's safe, I'll send Fat Cat to fetch you.

The Government is in full command.

The revolution will be crushed...

for the people do not want the revolution.

Campesinos, farmers, workers...

this is El Lobo, the voice of the revolution.

Put down your arms. The fighting is over.

Corteguay belongs to the revolution.

Corteguay will always belong to the revolution.

Aim!

Fire!

Fire!

Where is Rojo? Where is Diablo?

Where is Rojo?

You hear how they roar for him?

The tyrant is more popular than ever.

What will you do to him?

The voice of the people must be obeyed.

They want him, they must have him.

They'll tear him to pieces.

You promised justice. At least a quick death.

He will get the same justice he gave.

I am a soldier.

Gen. Rojo.

There's no more Rojo in Corteguay.

I demand a soldier's death.

I taught you to kill. Remember?

I steadied the gun in your hands.

Kill me. Now.

No.

I can't.

Dax, I loved you.

Take him. Take him out of my Palace.

Dax, your father! Your father!

I killed him.

He was killed on my orders, Dax.

I murdered him.

The plane is waiting for you at the airfield.

For us.

-Dax, what is it? -I have to stay.

Not for long, but I can't come with you now.

But why? The revolution's over.

The fighting's over. That's all.

What else is there?

-You can't do any more to help, Dax. -Help?

Who have I helped? Corteguay?

To kill one tyrant and put another in his place.

You can't change that now.

I can try.

El Lobo respects me.

If I'm here, I can control him.

-In a few weeks, I-- -No, Dax, you promised.

Amparo, for my sake and Phillipe.

You must go.

You'll be safe in Rome.

Fat Cat will look after you.

I'll join you as soon as possible.

Fat Cat.

I stay with you, always.

Not this time. They need you more than I do.

My father wanted me to care as he did.

Well, now at last I do care.

I'm asking you, my friend, to help me.

You have changed.

Now you are like your father.

Promise you will come soon.

I promise.

I found you yesterday.

-Today-- -Don't think of today, Amparo.

Only tomorrow.

Goodbye, Dax.

Until tomorrow.

Take care of my son.

As if he were you.
