Original subtitles

They're still at it.

You better have a look.

You're Mario, right?

Yeah.

- And you? - Me?

I'm your father's woman.

My father's... woman?

Come in. Your father's over there.

Mario! Son!

Dad! How are you?

There I was asking myself who it could be.

- What's this? - I brought it as a gift.

Looks like he's hungry! I wasn't really expecting you.

So it's you. Frankly speaking, you look quite handsome.

Come on, don't overdo it. Offer him something.

Let him loose!

I'll be right back.

- So, now you're at your father's side. - I'm really glad.

- Has he aged a lot? - On the contrary, he looks like a kid.

Must be... the good life.

- When was the last time you saw him? - He left home five years ago.

- Will you be working here? - Yes, if I find a job.

- Why do you ask? - No reason.

I'm really glad you came back. Here's to your health, Mario.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Do you like the wine? - Yes, it's quite good.

I want to have a look around. It's so nice. I couldn't stand my town any more.

- I think I've seen you before. - It's possible. I remember you too.

- Did you get married? - Well... not yet. We'll see.

Marriage? It's not in my plans. I'm not crazy yet.

Well, I'm really hot now. I'll be right back.

See you later.

Why would he come?

Does it bother you?

He wanted to come and he did. He's here, and so am I. What's the problem?

That's stupid. What am I supposed to do in front of him?

It's not my problem.

What is it to me? I laugh thinking about your expression when you recognized him.

I don't get the joke. What am I going to do now?

Nothing. Just live with him. He's your son.

- What about you? - I'll still come to visit you.

As usual. Every Sunday.

What a nice place!

What made you want to come?

- You didn't answer the letters. - I never got one.

We wrote to you several times.

Maybe they got lost. Important letters always get lost.

So then you don't know about Clara.

How would I know?

All the work it meant for us. The harvests that were lost...

I won't trouble you with the story.

I did, nevertheless, send money several times.

Little, very little. Don't forget it's been five years.

Yeah, you're right.

Five...

It's true. Five years...

- Do you have a girlfriend in town? - Kind of.

Is she pretty?

Why won't you answer me?

Is she pretty?

Prettier than I am?

- Why do you talk to me like that? - How am I supposed to talk?

What are you two always laughing about?

- Must be about you. - About me? Why?

Right, well...

Honey, it's all ready. Go set the table, please.

Come along!

Where did you meet her?

Where did you meet her?

Tell me where! Where did you meet her?

Tell me all about it!

It was... one night...

I was wandering around the town, looking for you. I had to find you.

I was alone. I just wanted to see you.

I'm just going to play some music and will be right back.

Come on, get on with it. Don't make them wait.

They're clapping for you. Go!

Tired?

Well... just a bit.

Light me up.

Like every night. They're all crazy about you.

Don't forget you owe me big time. And I won't let you go.

- What will you have? - A beer.

- You got a customer. - I've seen him.

These guys come from the harvest. They got money.

I don't want guys like that. They're dangerous.

So you don't like him.

Is José enough for you? He doesn't pay you. Why go?

Well... It's a way of freeing myself from all this filth.

I get my wage in pleasure, and it's all clean; I return clean.

Yeah, nice...

Hands off, Simón! Not here!

The way he looks at me! I'll see what's up.

What's with you? Why are you looking at me like that?

- Do I owe you money? - No, I just liked the way you danced.

Really? Is that all?

What else? I just like to see you like that. Close to me.

- And not to others. - Are you worried about that? - Yes.

Let's go.

- I don't like to be left alone. - Cut it out!

I can be with whoever I want.

Not when I'm around. Let's go!

Leave her alone. She doesn't want to go. Didn't you hear her?

Buzz off! I've cut to pieces big guys like you for less than that.

Let's go, Eva!

Please! It's my problem. Don't get involved

So? What are you waiting for?

All the town found out I was your son.

It then became easier to find you.

I just wanted to see you. I understand that you can't live without a woman.

Women are like death. You can't get away from them.

It's not really any of my business.

Though she's not the kind of woman who can darn your clothes.

I can do that by myself.

All things considered...

I'm almost fifty years old.

You know... she comes because she wants to. And she's not expensive.

Come on, the food is ready! The food will get cold.

Everything was fine.

And now what are we going to do?

I'm going to the waterfalls.

They're magnificent by night.

Fine, I'll go with you.

No...

Your father will come with me.

Sometimes we sleep out when it's hot.

- Like today... Shall we? - OK. Let's go.

Why did you come back?

Why won't you talk?

I'm thinking.

- About what? - Many things.

You know... your son... is very handsome.

What do you care?

Does it upset you? Be careful.

I'm warning you. Don't do anything stupid.

- Don't frighten me, José. - Don't provoke me...

Don't threaten me!

If you don't behave I'll beat the shit out of you!

Hit me? Yeah, right. Don't touch me!

I'll break your bones, you bitch!

Why? Am I your wife now? I'm free! Do you hear me? Free!

You, instead, have your son. It was sad seeing your attitude next to him.

You dare threaten me! You idiot!

I'll cut you to pieces!

Put that away!

Cut the crap. I know you tell your son you're essential to me.

Like bread! Yeah, right!

I love whoever I want! I go wherever I please!

In this hellish place!

I can find a man whenever I need one. Someone better than you!

Better than me? Better than me? Really?

Well, you're just a whore. Just a big whore!

Until now you were silent. But now I know it!

You're just a slut to me!

Who got into your head?

It was him. Mario.

That's right. I'm everything you called me, and much more.

I make a living out of men, out of love. Out of you bunch of idiots.

I make love when I want and with whomever I please.

You slut! Shut up or I'll kill you!

I don't want to shut up! I'm a whore... and I'm happy!

I'm happy!

I'll kill you!

You love me!

And there I was thinking you didn't love me anymore. Your son arrived and...

My son minds his own business. It was your fault I hit you.

I did it on purpose. To challenge you.

- Nice way of challenging me. - You beat me out of love.

Isn't that right?

- I'll pay you back. - How?

You'll see.

Sin in all its forms... is so sweet.

The town sucks.

And women are the ones who suffer the most. They cry all the time.

Life's the same everywhere.

And there's all sorts of women.

In a town a woman has to get married, even against her wish.

And once married, she's forever a slave.

She farms the land, washes, irons, sews, cooks and there's nothing in it for her.

While here you're free. Free as a seagull.

You can fly at will, and nobody hinders you.

Unfortunately... I have to go back.

Well... I'm leaving.

Come on.

See you on Sunday.

See you Sunday.

Goodbye!

It's so hot. It'll be an awful day.

Just like the night.

What are you laughing about?

- Me? Why would I laugh? - You're right.

There's no reason to laugh.

This Sunday I'll prevent her from seeing him.

Like I said, follow my instructions.

Damn it! This bitch is making us wait.

Come on, boys! Let's do it now!

Let her go or I'll blow your brains out!

It's all good, boss. I was only escorting the lady.

Thank you! Good afternoon. I was just escorting her. Goodbye.

Good thing I came by.

Thank goodness.

You had a bad time. Were there a lot of them?

I wasn't scared of them.

- Why are you looking at me that way? - Because you're beautiful.

If your dad finds out...

My father! I don't suppose he's bought you.

Quite a "show".

But not for you.

Nobody's bought me. I have no owner. Get it?

You know, I don't want to be the bone of contention between you two.

Understand?

- And don't touch me! - Don't be so finicky.

- You think I wouldn't dare touch you? - Of course not.

- What would happen to me? - I'd shoot you in the head.

- I bet you wouldn't. - I wouldn't?

Here you go.

So scary... You're quite a woman.

Tell me, why did you choose... an old man?

Some old men are better than young ones.

Yes, but if the father's good, the son is better.

- Where did you get that? - From the girls in town.

How would they know? You have to ask me.

You?

Sure... you have the experience...

- Experience? - Yeah.

We'll see how your father reacts to that.

You keep talking about my father. Enough already.

I'm not a kid and I'm not afraid.

- Let's have a peaceful party. - Party? Why? What are you up to?

I want to steal you away from him.

No!

Let me go!

Get the hell out of here now!

I'll take care of her.

Who do you think you are?

Mind your own business!

I'm asking you... nicely.

Here you go. You might need it.

Nicely, yeah. Otherwise, I might have to bash your head in.

Then I might have to tell your father about you.

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

I'm going to...

Stop, Mario!

Stop fighting! Stop!

Stop fighting Simón! Stop!

There's no need to tell anyone. There's nothing between Mario and me.

I'm begging you! Please!

Fine, but I'm telling you: I don't like lying.

All the same, I'll tell your father you're messing around with his woman!

Traitor! Bad son!

Bad son! I'm a traitor.

I'm a traitor! I'm a traitor!

Nice mess I got myself into!

The boy follows me everywhere, and the father is capable of anything.

I should see him, but no, I mustn't go there!

Perhaps... I must never go there again!

Oh how I suffer when you're not here.

Every day, every night... Sometimes it's terrible.

I see the beautiful waterfalls, and I see you in a veil floating over them.

Calling me... Turning me on!

And I'm alone, totally alone in this desert.

Makes me feel so small...

Without my memories... I wouldn't suffer so much.

I waited for you in vain...

It's not good to feel this way.

I feel fear... fear!

Could it be possible...

Could it be possible that I'm starting to feel...

...to feel hatred for my father?

Hey, how're you doing? Always working!

Can't kick the habit.

- Why didn't you come on Sunday? - I was alone all day.

- Come on! You were getting drunk. - No!

I've been keeping an eye on your son and on his mother-in-law.

No need for that. They're not kids.

They're something worse. One is an animal and the other is a whore.

What are you talking about?

What you heard.

Since when?

Since always.

A woman needs to have some things.

A good body, good breasts and good hips.

What else do you know about her?

It seems you got drunk yesterday.

Come on, let's go to the shack and have some booze.

So you can tell me... some more stuff.

Leaving?

I'll leave when I want to. It's all the same to me.

Yeah, I know it's all the same to you.

Pour some.

Why don't you ask me about Eva?

- I don't really care. - Sure.

Ask me... about how I spent Sunday.

You must be jealous, you old fuck.

Not jealous of you. Don't make me laugh.

She plays you too.

- There's lots like her. - Where is there another one like her?

You dumb old fart.

There are none like her. Are you putting me on?

She's unique... unique.

Why do you defend her so much?

Wise up! She married me a long time ago!

A long time ago.

I know she's with you. I never got involved. Why would I?

But now your son... Mario... hmm.

Little Mario... is chasing her.

Make him stop and give him a good beating, or else I'll do it myself.

I value you... like a true friend.

You know I never interfered between you and Eva.

Now I get it... You too are in love with Eva.

Who isn't?

If she had listened to me a long time ago she'd be mine now.

- But she doesn't love me. - Then why the fuck are you interfering?

I like her... She's different from all the rest.

She's not a bad person... I kind of feel sorry for her.

If she were a pure girl, you could feel sorry for her.

Because she'd be naive.

You're right... She's a good woman.

As for Mario... I'll teach him a lesson!

Did you see him with Eva? For a fact?

Or are you crazy?

You'll see how he gets in the way. Like a wedge.

That's only... if I let him...

...if I let him live!

What's with you? Feeling sentimental?

- Remind you of anything? - It's a song from Puerto Rico.

Some of the happiest moments in my life.

A Puerto Rican?

He was a great man.

He died.

That's done and dusted.

As for José...

Are you jealous too?

Have you left him?

I'm angry with him.

- Why? - Because he hit me.

You let him. He's an idiot.

I could have avoided it.

- So? - I didn't feel like it.

I enjoyed the beating.

You really love that old bastard.

I don't know... Leave me alone.

- Do you know what you want? - No.

Sometimes I'd like to go far away, and never see a man again.

Other times I'd like to be surrounded by all the men.

And spin them at will, like spinning tops.

But sometimes, I want to kill myself.

So many times I thought about jumping from the highest waterfall.

A horrible death.

Sometimes, I'm bored...

Other times I'm head over heels.

The men I know...

Look, honey, just drop the subject.

You know, I'll be gone for a while.

I have important business in the town of Eldorado.

Things could go very well or very badly for me.

But before I go...

I'm going to try to fuck... you and them over.

That's right... Both the father and the son.

The father most of all. We have a long running feud.

Why would you do that? Just because?

Yeah... just because.

And because I don't want to drag this thing on.

I'd benefit you.

And just for the simple pleasure... of fucking you over.

Bye bye, cutie.

Listen, Eva. What I said... is just between you and I.

Mario!

I bring great news!

Eva... loves you!

But she doesn't let on 'cause she's afraid of your dad.

The old fart is furious.

Just yesterday he told me: I'll teach that punk to mess with my woman!

See ya.

And don't you forget it: She loves YOU!

Let's go, Valentini.

- What are doing here? I need you! I want you to come with me!

- I'm going crazy! - That's right. You are crazy.

- Simón told me yesterday... - Enough already!

You just don't understand. I can't love you!

- What could you offer me? - Love! Lots of love.

- That's not enough. - What do you get from my father?

Something you can't understand: love.

But another type of love.

The kind you want costs a lot of money.

- And you don't have any. - I will have it. I will!

I promise you, Eva! But now I want to have you!

No, Mario! Please!

Leave me alone... Let me think,

Keep calm... and wait.

We'll fix this, but first I'll talk to your father.

Be good...

And leave me alone.

I'm leaving...

But I want you to know...

...that I love you! And that nothing will stop me!

Nothing!

- Thank you. - You're welcome, my friend.

Where are you coming from?

- Why didn't you go to work? - And why didn't you work these days?

You've been getting drunk! It will end badly.

You'll end up just like Simón, a worthless wino.

- No, that won't happen to me. - Why are you answering back?

I know what I'm saying! You've been here three weeks. Doing what?

You should go back right away!

Can't do much in so little time.

So why are you wasting your time? Go back!

- Perhaps... - Don't laugh!

Laugh when your father is talking to you...

Your father is talking to you! Don't you laugh!

- I'm not leaving. - I can do whatever I want with you!

Have you forgotten?

I've not forgotten anything. Just think of your past for a bit.

And who are you to talk about what I do?

I'll beat the shit out of you!

Don't do that again if you please!

Mario!

Have you forgotten that I'm your father?

No. But you can't order me around like a kid.

You think I can't hit you?

We're all equal here.

We both want to live life and earn a living.

Shut your mouth! Or I'll kill you!

Don't you laugh at me!

Don't you dare try to... threaten me!

I'm just saying you better watch out!

You dare to threaten me with your fists?

Wait a moment!

Stop it, dad! What the hell?

I'll teach you to defy your father!

Enough, dad. Calm down!

I want you out of here! Right now!

I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving!

Now you'll see! I'll get you!

- I'll teach you! - Dad, I don't want to fight with you.

Damn him!

May you rot in hell! I curse you forever!

I'm not leaving. I'm not going back to my small town!

I'm better off here! Life is easier and I like it!

I'm free! And there's no police station!

Bet you can't catch me!

You'll never make it, dad!

Come on! Run, dad, run!

You're too old, dad!

I'm not leaving!

I'm not leaving!

Damn you. Damn you!

I'm going to... kill you!

I'll kill you... as soon as I get a chance!

Dad!

But... what are you about to do?

Do you really want to kill me?

So then... kill me.

You gave me life so... take it away,

I'm sorry... Mario...

I almost killed my son.

All your fault.

I never thought you'd go that far.

I love you so much, I'd kill for you.

You're part of all this.

I once told you that if you weren't around, anyone else would do.

No, José... only you.

Here...

Why do you act this way?

You can't fight your own feelings.

It's my fault because I loved you, and caused the fight with your son.

I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving.

We can never be happy!

Never!

Mario will always be between us.

And I'll be between Mario... and you.

Do you love Mario?

Are you leaving?

Yes, I'm leaving.

And I'm leaving a lot behind.

All the memories of you...

- I'm off to work. - Where? - Far away from here.

- What's with you? - I'm leaving.

- Are you staying here? - Yes I am.

What will we do?

Whatever you wish. You're not a kid anymore.

Goodbye.

Time to go.

All this is for you now.

José! Wait...

I'll walk with you a while.

We could have just carried on with our lives... peacefully...

- ...without fighting. - What you did was wrong.

Perverting my son... Have you no shame?

For the love of God! Do you realize what you've done?

I make my own decisions. My conscience is clear.

Go! I could squash you like a bug!

Can't you see I hate you?

You'll end up badly. Someone will bash your head in one day!

Go! Go!

Enough already! I'm fed up with you!

Idiot!

No...

I thought you were leaving with him.

- No! - Do you love me?

Don't be foolish. You love me, but I don't love you.

- But I... - Hush.

It's over! Understand?

And stop looking at me that way.

Don't you realize... that my fate and my happiness lie here?

You arrived... and everything changed!

But tell me...

Can't you understand your father?

Forgive me.

You're right... I can see it clearly now.

Why...

Forgive me... Forgive me...

...for having tried to seduce...

Your father's... woman.

Farewell, Eva.

All this...

...is yours.

All of it.

My dear...

old man.

Come visit whenever you want.

Except on Sundays...

See you around, old man!

See you around!

You got me where you want me. You scoundrel.

But first I want to say something about myself. I swear...

Don't say a word. I'm not listening.

I'll always wait for you... anxiously.
