CHRONICLE OF A DEATH ANNOUNCED

After 27 years, I returned to this forgotten village ...

... attempt to gather all these pieces from spread ...

... the broken mirror of memory.

Santiago Nasar's house

was an old two-storey warehouse.

His father bought to establish an import company ...

And had turned into a house when he was getting married.

Will take the suitcases doctor.

- Welcome, Doctor. - Colonel.

I am honored that you have agreed to lead

hospital in our village, which is also your village.

Why you do not tutuyez me like you did before, when I was a student?

Mr. Gravedigger?

Please remove some weeds.

Santiago was still sleeping like his father ...

... with a gun hidden under the pillow.

That day before leaving home he took the cartridges and put them in a drawer.

- Can I come in? - Yes.

- Hello. Do you have an aspirin? - Yes, come here.

I dreamed that I was in the woods ...

and it was raining the shit flies. -This is a good sign...

Dream bird is a sign of good health.

Why are you dressed like a Sunday when we are on Monday?

You forgot that the Bishop is today.

Maybe I could kiss his ring.

He did not even go down the boat.

It just gives his blessing from the boat as usual

...and he will leave. He hates this town.

He was an only child in an arranged marriage

who had never had a single moment of happiness.

Take an umbrella. Maybe we'll have rain.

Yes, do not worry.

But he seemed happy with his father ...

...until his death three years earlier.

Still seemed happy with his mother remained alone.

Monday until his death.

- Coffee. - Hello.

Good afternoon.

The time has come for you deprave.

Let her go, White Sale!

You will not drink of this water as I live.

He was not born a man like him since.

It was like his father. Shit.

Why did you not tell Santiago, they would kill him?

When it came to coffee, I do not know.

You knew very well.

The beggar told you more when they were going to wait.

She was always drunk.

I did not say anything; because they were drunk talk.

Why you dig into this after so many years?

He was my best friend.

I can not forget.

My mother said nothing...

Because in her heart she wanted them to kill him.

Opens the door to Santiago.

Divina Flor knew she would suffer the droit de seigneur de Santiago Nasar.

All she could do to the man she could never get ...

was not to close the door

so he can enter in case of emergency.

Unidentified person

had slipped an envelope under the door ...

to warn Santiago Nasar

that Vicario brothers wanted to kill him.

This letter also where they waited, their reasons

and more precise details.

Santiago never saw the letter. Divina Flor saw either.

Nobody has seen before long after.

For the love of God let this revenge later.

Respect for the bishop, at least.

It is Santiago and that's you.

You were both next to Margot.

I was so young.

Time passes, Doctor. Time passes.

If you remember, the whole village was on the docks.

Let him go! And it will not come back!

He always navigate! He can run!

He hates this town.

He remains in his diocese.

What are you doing, Santiago?

These beasts live, at least.

Let him go!

The whole city is waiting and he did not even bother to stop.

The Vicario put into overdrive for the wedding of Angela.

40 turkeys and pigs for 11 guests and 4 calves in the city.

We drank 205 cans of liquor and more than 2,000 bottles of rum.

My wedding will be like that too.

Tell the people until the end of their days.

Mother prepared fritters stuffed yuca. Come and eat with us.

- I'm going to change and I'm coming. What time is it? -5:35.

- I'll be there in fifteen minutes. - Dinner is ready now.

I'll be quick.

- Who are these covered? - To Santiago Nasar...

I was told that you have invited.

- Removes me that. - Why?

- They want to kill him. - Who?

Angela's husband Vicarios discovered she was not a virgin,

and he sent home.

Angela's brothers say it is Santiago the culprit.

That's why they want to kill him.

- Where are you going? - Prevent Placida my friend.

It is not fair that everybody knows that his son will be murdered and it is the last to Know.

- We have many links with them than with Vicarios.

- Always be on the side of death.

So go with Jaime.

Bastards who can not do anything other than trouble!

They killed him!

They murdered!

Six months before the murder of Santiago Nasar...

a stranger came to our village.

Bayardo San Roman was called.

Nobody knew what he was doing.

Those who could not resist temptation and ask him, he said:

from city to city to find a woman to marry me.

You understand that this board is exclusively for men only.

I know.

Come in.

They say it is a lot of money.

One said he found a treasure

in the wreck of a Spanish galleon.

It is said railway engineer.

- You saw it? - It just happened.

Madame!

Madame.

- Yes? - Who is it?

Her name is Angela Vicario.

Angela - What a lovely name.

When I wake up ...

Remind me that I'm going to marry.

How much is the phonograph?

It is not for sale. It can not be won by playing the lottery.

Okay, it's easier and cheaper How many tickets is there?

- Between us there must be two cents. - Well, I take all.

Good luck.

I hate arrogant men!

Angela!

Attention please.

Ladies and gentlemen, the most important moment of the evening.

We must now launch

the lottery Santa Barbara!

Get out your lottery tickets.

We now draw.

One two three.

One Three Five.

And this is number 135 wins.

- 135! - The winner is he comes.

Do the verification.

It's not luck, he bought all the tickets!

So, anyone could win.

And this is number 135.

We say bravo!

Angela Vicario.

- Who is that Bayardo San Roman? - No idea.

I saw him when he bought all the lottery tickets

Give it to him.

This is me Bayardo. Come here.

Hold. - Ah. She did not want to.

I understand.

We'll talk later.

Come and have a drink.

- Sit down. - Thank you.

Put it on the table.

- Health. - Thank you.

You have probably heard everything you said about him.

Nobody knows where it comes from, or who he is.

I do not care about him. I even think about it.

Well, do not hurt, it might be a good match.

He has money. And all the girls are crazy about him.

Not to me. - This is not true.

These days you're different.

I think I am as usual. I work and sing.

You do not make 20 flowers on 50 you had to do yesterday.

Yesterday I was not feeling well, I was nervous.

And why?

Because I knew you would leave me stuff like that.

That's why you've changed blouse!

- The one I wore was stained.

- I talked to the priest for him to do for his family.

We can stop talking

and finally we know what his intentions are.

I'll tell you frankly, I have nothing to do with this.

- You do not understand that we do for you?

- No, it is you who are in love with him!

You should be ashamed! You have a husband and children!

You're a whore! I know you were with two men

at the same time you slept before you get married!

- You lie!

I have not slept with a man other than my husband!

- Do not swear! - I swear!

- What is happening here? - Fights women. Sit!

Why are you crying?

Because they do not leave me in peace.

You two go home!

Come on, kids, go play elsewhere.

So Bayardo. When will you get married?

- I do not know. - Anyway our wedding here.

Mom was happy.

Bravo! Bayardo you got!

Where are you going?

Wait!

What happened to you?

I do not want to marry him! I do not know.

- How pourais I marry him without knowing it?

- We also learn to love. Come!

Angela, what is the house of the village that you like the most?

Widower's house XIUS.

Mr. XIUS.

I want to buy your home.

Sorry, but it is not for sale.

I buy all that it contains.

It is full of things that my wife and I bought for our common life.

And not without personal sacrifice.

Each object is a memory of it for me.

Yes, of course.

Then sell it to me empty.

- How much is this home? - It has no price.

No, give me a price.

Forgive me, Bayardo.

I feel as young as you

do not understand the feelings.

- Let me offer you five thousand pesos. - This is too much, not worth it.

Then ten thousand pesos.

I can not.

A favor. I just ask you to wait for me five minutes.

Hundred thousand pesos -

Attention, ready for photography.

Do not move.

A very good photo.

Long live the newlyweds!

All singles!

You are also single.

Grabbed her by Santiago!

They play El Manisero! Come!

Goodbye.

Thank you for everything, Mother. You are a saint.

- Tell us who it was! - No!

- Speak! Tell us who! - No!

Tell us!

-Tell us! - Talk to Angela!

- Say it! - No!

Tell us who it was, bitch!

- Santiago Nasar.

Over a hundred years of archives were

scattered on the floor of the dilapidated house ...

...which was two days headquarters Francis Drake.

The ground floor was flooded ...

...and folders floating loose in the empty office.

I myself have explored many times

this swamp of lost causes and it is a coincidence that

he could save 322 of the 500 sheets or more that had to rely on trial.

The outcome of the case the judge concluded,

there was not the slightest evidence that Santiago Nasar would have been

... have been the culprit in this case.

For him, as for the closest friends of Santiago ...

behavior during the hours before the tragedy ...

was clear evidence of his innocence.

There was never any more death announced that it.

For years we could not talk about anything else.

We get caught by surprise by the rooster

thinking about all these coincidences chained

who made possible this is absurd.

Obviously, we did not understand a mystery ...

but because of aucin we could not continue to live

without knowing exactly the role that fate had chosen us.

Many have never known.

But most of those who could have prevented

this crime ... however, they have done nothing themselves

satisfied with the idea that the cause of honor

belong only to those who are the protagonists.

Angela Vicario, did you know the deceased Santiago Nasar?

It was he who raped me.

After the revelation,

the twins passed through the barn ...

...and chose the best two knives.

10 inches long and 2 wide to carve

and a knife to clean 7 inches long and 1 wide.

They have packed a rag and went to the market to make afiler.

They arrived about 3:25, while I had just opened.

They often came on Friday afternoon.

I do not understand why they had a Monday,

so soon, and even with the wedding clothes.

I thought they were drunk because they were mistaken for hours and even days.

- Today is Monday!

- We know, stupid.

- We just need to sharpen our knives.

- Yes, we're going to kill Santiago Nasar.

Why kill Santiago Nazar?

Why him when he is so rich that deserve to die before him?

- Long live the newlyweds! - Be happy!

- The window is always off?

- Why? You are looking for what reason?

No, we're just after him to kill him.

- And do you know why you want to kill him so early?

- He knows very well.

Good evening.

I just get the bread of the Mayor.

- Good morning. -Good morning.

- I'm gonna go home and sleep. - Meet you later.

Blanco the coffee is ready. - I'll take it later.

Tell Divina Flor woke up at 5:30...

and bring me a pair of pants like this.

The Vicario brothers tell everyone

they want to kill Santiago Nasar.

There is probably some truth in there, because I saw them

in Clotilde Armentas with two butcher knives.

Bayardo San Roman returned Angela to her house.

- It was not a virgin. - And just today the bishop!

What will he think? Let's go.

- You do not eat first? - No, let's go.

But what to sting? For such are we now? Come on.

Wake up! Go home!

Will think that the bishop if he sees you like that?

They are not in this state because of the visit of the Bishop, the Mayor.

This is to free these boys weight obligation

fell on them. Do not stop.

You can not stop people for mere suspicion.

Santiago Nasar, but must be notified.

Come here.

Father Amador will say that the Vicario brothers

want to kill Santiago Nasar.

It's true, I received a message, and others lpus disturbing,

while I was preparing to go to the port.

In truth, I do not know what to do.

At first I thought it was not for me,

but a case under civil.

I decided to put in a word to the mother of Santiago,

but across the square I forgot everything.

Understand.

that fateful day was the visit of the bishop.

I'll stay here. I have to pee. Fetch knives.

I piss glass.

I'll kill the bitch who gave it to me if I find it.

I do not say that to me. Come.

I can not.

Do it yourself. I'm in no condition to kill somebody.

You know there is no other way. We must do.

Good day. - Hello.

- The coffee is not ready yet.

We later. There is no time now.

I guess. The honor will not wait.

You are here?

I will never marry with you if you do not do your duty as a man.

Go tell the cook

to kill Santiago Nasar they will. Course!

No, they will not kill him.

I'm sure these two are not capable.

They will make him marry Angela

to restore its honor.

Come, go down and will receive the bishop.

- Is that Santiago is back? - No, I have not seen.

Where is Santiago?

It is not yet returned to sleep.

They want to kill him.

These two boys will not kill anyone.

- They drank since Saturday. - Exactly.

A drunk can not eat his own shit!

Are you sure that Santiago is not on the floor?

I have not seen.

Mrs. asleep? - Yes, I have to wake up later.

Santiago?

Santiago?

- Ah, it's you. - I went searching Santiago.

He went to receive the bishop.

Yes, he was with me, but I lost sight.

It goes back a moment to the next. He told me he wanted to go into the fields.

But what happened? You're weird.

I have not slept. I'll get out.

Cristo Bedoya!

Santiago Nasar told that we are waiting for the kill.

He walks with a big gun that can destroy an engine.

The dead can not shoot.

Cristbal, it warned.

You're the only one able to prevent this tragedy.

Colonel!

The Vicario brothers took knives

to kill Santiago Nasar! - Can I have

taken them and I sent to bed.

Well, they are there and they have in their hands.

With others, because they had those, I would have taken and I have at home.

Anyway I got it right away.

A doctor, or is it that there is a doctor? Help me I need a doctor!

My son is very sick. Come to my doctor!

- No, I can not. - Go ahead, there is not a moment to lose!

I must stay here!

Come in.

- They do not always have t !killed? - Who?

- Angela Vicario's brothers. You have dishonored. - Me?

Yes, you! I saw how you looked at the church

and during the dance at the wedding.

Flora, what you say, you're crazy? Wait. Flora, wait!

Flora!

Flora opened!

Flora!

Flora!

Flora, open the door!

The Vicario brothers seek you to kill you!

Do you know if they are right or not.

Now be you stay here, you are at home or you go out with my gun.

But I do not understand!

They will be two against one.

- And my son knows? - No,

because when he came, I did not know either.

- Where is he now? - I do not know.

- Where is my son? - He must be in his room, I heard footsteps upstairs.

He is there.

- Santiago, they'll kill you! - Leave me!

- Santiago, they will kill you!

Santiago! They will kill you!

Do not! No! Santiago!

They'll kill you! Run!

-Santiago! Run! Hurry! -Santiago, shoo!

Go, go! They'll kill you!

Santiago, run! They'll kill you!

Santiago Run, run! They will kill you!

I closed the door at the last moment

I closed because Divina Flor

had sworn she saw my son enter.

But it was not true.

Bitch!

She saw him everywhere, because she wanted between her legs.

Bitch!

Whore! That does not save!

Santiago Nazar 21.

Get out! Get out! Leave us to move!

Pull over the edge!

Go go!

You've never seen a man drunk? Go home! There is nothing to see.

Why did you lie?

Who was it? WHO WAS?

Who was it?

"My love. Has little I returned to our house

and I felt the scent of your skin."

"My love, how do we write to someone

who never answers?"

Here, nothing changes. Everything is the same.

Look, there it is.

Since then, she continues to write to him.

One or two letters a week.

I would not have recognized.

During all these years, I've always wanted to ask you one question.

Tell me. But tell me the truth.

Is what you were protecting someone giving the name of Santiago Nasar?

Listen, think no more, Cristbal.

It was him.

The door! Open! Open!

Santiago!

Santiago!

Santiago!

Santiago!!!!!!

Father Amador!

We killed him.

We killed him, but we are innocent.

- Before the Lord can be. - Before God and before men!

It is a matter of honor!

Let me sleep.
