THE LONG NIGHT OF FRANCISCO SANCTIS

Here.

Don't leave this near him.

Well, you quit smoking, not me.

-At least you could wait to leave. -Mom, can I have a toast?

Mom, what is this animal?

A toucan.

No, not with butter.

What time do you have to be there?

I told the headmistress I would be at the school at nine.

There you go, drink it.

I'm not so sure, I mean, you already work so many hours.

Maybe it's not necessary.

Yes, we'll see.

-It's too hot. -No, it's not.

-It's too hot. -No, it's not

Yes, it's too hot.

Sorry

Take this away from my face, please.

You have one minute to drink it.

If we are a little patient, I'll be promoted soon.

-Blah, blah, blah. -Blah, blah.

It's still too hot.

Come on Javier. ls too late.

Dad, do like this.

Do you remember the game?

-You put your hands like this... -OK.

Dad, pay attention.

I'm winning.

Here, look here.

-Hello, how are you? -Fine.

-How's your family? We”.

Very well, actually.

And the girl?

-My girl? -Yes.

-She's fine. -I'm glad.

I called you to tell you you are doing a great job.

-Excellent. Excellent. -That's very good. Thanks.

That's what we talked about last time.

-The way we had to do things. -Right.

Please, tell him about the reward the company has for him.

Well, this wasn't an easy decision to take.

But to reward your sacrifice, efficiency and order...

the company's board decided that this year...

you'll have the honor of getting the Nicanor Incentive Box.

OK. Thanks.

But I thought we were going to talk about the promotion.

-Can we show him the box? -Of course.

For the whole family to enjoy.

And when do you think we can talk about the promotion?

This is not the right time. We have a very busy day.

Yes, but this is the fourth time you call me here to talk...

and we never reach an agreement.

In the reorganization we are planning...

you are a candidate for promotion.

-Do you have an approximate date? -Soon.

For you.

Nicanor Wholesale, good morning.

Wrong number.

-But she asked for you. -They gave you the incentive.

Yes, take whatever you want.

Nicanor Foods, good morning.

-No. -Can I have that pencil?

The pencil, please.

That one, thanks.

Coffee?

Elena?

Wait, hold on.

I'll go to another phone. It's too busy here.

What should he tell us?

About today's phone call.

The one about the poem?

Were you listening to the conversation?

No, it was him.

You left the phone off the hook and when I went to hang it up...

I heard a bit, that's all.

-She has a nice voice. -But you're married.

What are you thinking?

She just needs my authorization to publish something...

I wrote a long time ago.

"Something". "Something".

He's talking about the poem.

And why does she need an authorization?

Ask him. He listened to the whole conversation.

It might get published in Venezuela.

-No, I don't smoke anymore. -Don't do that.

So you are a real poet.

I wrote a poem a long time ago.

And it wasn't very good.

It wasn't very good, but women like it.

Elena is a friend.

Used to be a friend.

Poet.

You never said you wrote.

I wrote one poem.

I like reading that kind of stuff.

Poetry, literature. I like it.

Show us the verses, poet.

- Sorry I'm late. -Hi.

Do you mind talking inside the car?

I hadn't recognized you. No.

Do you want to leave your things in the back?

Yes.

Are you a famous author now?

No. I haven't been writing.

-I got married. -Me too.

l have two kids, Javier and Emilia.

-I don't have kids. -Oh.

I lived abroad for a while.

In Central America and the US.

Right, there you met the people from the magazine.

Haven't we been here already?

I lost contact with the rest of the group.

You are still in contact with them, right?

No, not so much.

I see Perugia every now and then.

Whenever our jobs allow us.

But I'm not complaining, I'm happy.

I'm about to be promoted.

Tell me what you've been doing in such far away places.

We had to travel for my husband's job.

What does he do?

Let's get to the point. We don't have much time.

Yes, you told me the thing about the magazine was urgent.

Write this down.

Hold on.

There.

At your service, my literary agent.

Julia Cardini.

Bernardo

Lipstein.

-Lipstein. -Lipstein.

Lacarra Street...

6072.

Are they from the publishing house?

Did you write it down?

Yes, a bit untidy, but here it is.

Memorize it.

But I wrote it here.

Memorize it.

I think I've got it.

Yes?

Yes, I think so.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Say it aloud.

Julia Cardini...

Yes...

Julia Cardini. Bernardo Lipstein.

Lacarra Street 6072.

Okay.

Hand me the paper.

What are you doing, Elena?

Tonight they are going after them.

What are you talking about?

This information is from the Secret Service.

And...

And what the hell do l have to do with this story?

Don't be stupid, Francisco.

They are going to take them.

Yes, I understood that. What I don't...

I don't care if you know them or not.

Someone has to warn them. Do you realize?

Yes, I do.

But why are you telling this to me?

Who else could I tell? I don't know anybody here.

I haven't lived here in years.

I thought of us, of our talks in the cafe,

with you and Perugia.

Remember when we were together?

We were never together.

We kissed, Francisco. In that campsite in Formosa.

You were very upset.

You told me you wanted to do something.

To get involved.

l was drunk that night, and it was twenty years ago.

Give me a cigarette.

-Do you have a light? -You can't smoke in the car.

I hold one in my hand...

because I recently quit smoking and it feels good.

Wake up comrade the masses are waiting for us.

If you insist on sleeping, you will lose the battle.

Wake up comrade and if fear paralyzes you...

think of the smile of the laborer in battle.

-Rebellious laborer. -Right.

-What the hell are you doing? -It's your poem, Francisco.

Elena, I don't think I can do much.

In fact, I can do anything about it. I won't lie to you.

I'm not the right man for this job.

I think it would be better if you found...

Listen to me.

We won't talk again. We won't meet again.

Whatever happens you won't say...

where you got this information from.

I imagine you can realize why.

Of course I realize why.

You are passing this responsibility to me.

No, it's not like that.

My husband is an officer in the Aeronautic.

That's what this is about.

He has nothing to do with all this.

I learn about this by chance.

I thought something had to be done.

-This is doing something about it? -Yes.

I couldn't do anything else.

-Where do I drop you off? -Wherever you want.

Do you remember the names?

-Do you? -Don't piss me off.

Tell them to me.

Julia Cardini. Bernardo Lipstein.

Lacarra Street 6072.

It was nice seeing you, Francisco.

Even under these circumstances.

You haven't changed at all.

Angelica?

-Surprise!

Perugia came looking for you. Said he'll be at the bar.

I know.

And that tie?

They gave me the lncentive Box, it came with it.

Again?

It's time the crocodile went to bed like her brother.

-Crocodiles don't have brothers. -This one does.

I won't go to the bar. I rather stay here.

It's a miracle.

Now your dad will read you a story.

"The crocodile lays in the sun in the calm waters.

It's jaws are closed, the haughty tail rests.

It looks like a rotten root halted in the water".

Go to sleep.

"It waits for its pray crouched."

Go to sleep.

"Crouched near the shore.

If a zebra or an antelope come to drink to the river,

it knocks the animal down with its strong tail.

And attacks it with its jaws full of teeth."

Can you put this over there?

What are you looking for?

Elena Vaccaro called me today to the office.

The chubby one from College?

But she's no longer chubby.

But did she call you or you met?

She told me. She always had an issue with that.

She lived abroad for a while.

For her husband's job.

She wanted an authorization to publish something I wrote.

Something you wrote? When?

I didn't know you wrote.

I wrote just one thing a long time ago.

I didn't write anything else. It has to be here.

-Here it is. -Let me see.

Be careful, your hands are dirty.

I'll hold it for you.

"Wake up comrade the masses are waiting for us.

If you insist on sleeping, you will lose the battle.

Wake up comrade and if fear paralyzes you...

think of the smile of the rebellious laborer".

But here it says "Leonardo Medina".

That was my alias.

You had an alias?

And where are they publishing it?

I'm not going to publish this now.

With or without alias.

Well, Francisco, I understand it may not be the moment,

but don't throw it away. They are memories.

Didn't Olga throw her son's things away?

Yes, but you can't compare Lucho with this box of poems.

Have you heard from Lucho?

No. Nothing.

We should call them.

We haven't talked in so long.

That's why, perhaps they need help or something.

Yes, I think we should. Let's call them.

Fine, but if we call and they need help?

Do you know something?

What? About what?

No.

Look, Francisco, I don't know what's going on in your mind,

but there's no way Lucho can stay here.

The kids are here.

I didn't say that.

I would never think of something like that.

Hello.

Hello, Alicia, how are you?

Yes, fine.

No, she's cooking.

Yes, we usually eat a bit later.

No, the kids had dinner already, they are in bed.

I came from work and they went to sleep.

Yes, they waited for me but then they fell asleep.

They dozed off, yes.

Yes, we could say that.

Yes.

No, no news about that.

No. They told me... Angelica!

They tell me...

Maybe with next year's reorganization.

She's here. Yes.

Yes, me too.

-Yes, take care. Bye. -Who is it?

It's your mom. I'll go for a wine.

We'll keep talking afterwards. But we can't bring anybody here.

I know.

Cardini?

Julia? Are you Julia Cardini?

Jose!

Hello, how are you? I'm sorry to come this late hour.

-Do you have cold white wine? -No, not cold.

It's OK. We'll put some ice in it.

I'll look for one in the storehouse.

I'll wait right here.

Do you have a light?

Yes.

It's not that easy.

-I can light it with yours. -Lets go.

Keep it.

Hello.

Jose's Store was closed.

I started walking around, looking for another place.

I think I'll give up. I don't want to keep on walking.

Who?

No, Angelica, not now.

OK, I'll go and come back.

OK?

No, no. I'm tired. I won't stay long.

Me too.

Kisses. Bye.

Sanctis!

Hey, where were you?

I've been waiting for two hours.

I called you, I thought maybe you had a lover.

Is everything all right? I prepare it and we can start.

I've already played three games. On my own. I won all of them.

I'm still undefeated. Let's see how you do.

When are you coming? I talked to Maria Angelica.

Now we have an extra room.

We can put some mattresses for the kids in the living room.

You have to come and see how's the house. It's a mansion.

I got rid of the shed.

Put a palm tree instead. It gives a nice shade.

I closed the courtyard. It's like a winter garden now.

You can have some "mates" there and feel in paradise.

I took out the living room's floor.

Put pitch pine, it looks like a hotel now.

You're going to love it.

When are you coming?

Where?

What do you mean? To Mar Del Plata, scatterbrain.

-Well... -Hello. Two whiskeys, please.

-No, no. I'll have a coffee. -No, don't say nonsense.

Two whiskeys and some appetizer: cheese, chips.

Take this. I'll start.

I'll just open the game, so you can play a bit.

Then I won't have any mercy, I'll pocket ball after ball.

Don't complain.

There we go.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

So go on, it's your turn.

If you knock number 6, pocket number 15 too.

What's up? Do you have problems at work?

No. Why?

I had a meeting today, about the promotion.

I don't think it will happen.

Meanwhile, if you need money, you can talk to me.

No, no. I don't need money. It's not that.

-Come. -Where?

-I'll be your wingman. -With what? No, no. Don't.

What's wrong? Are you afraid of women too?

No, it's not that.

Well, I'll keep playing on my own then.

Since you can't even pocket one.

Look at this.

This is doing it with grace.

There.

Now I'm going to pocket two at the same time.

It's called: "Two in one". Look.

Almost.

Today I saw Elena Vaccaro.

Fat Vaccaro?

Yes. Well, actually, she is not fat anymore.

She's unrecognizable.

And where did she come from? A time machine?

She came to declare her love once again.

No.

Do you remember the bulletin we published in college?

Of course.

"Working-class student. Raised Fist".

Well, once I published a poem there.

And Elena wanted me to authorize her...

to publish it in a Venezuelan magazine.

Venezuelan?

That fatty and her stories. I can't believe it.

Remember she saw agents of the CIA everywhere?

When we took History...

she said the assistant was from the CIA.

She took a cab, the driver was from the CIA.

Went to a bar, the waiter was from the CIA.

Inside a dog there could be a CIA agent.

That's the truth. She got fat with paranoia.

Well, she wasn't so wrong. Look what's going on.

Don't be stupid. Come on, it's your turn.

We left the group for a reason.

I didn't leave the group, I began working...

and couldn't attend the meetings.

Working. Right. Tell that story to your grandchildren.

Because I was there and know exactly how things were.

Now with one ball I'll pocket two.

If I keep waiting for you to do something.

One ball, two.

So what happened with the poem? You said no, right?

I didn't think it was a good idea to publish it now.

But I've been thinking, we could help in some way.

Help in what?

Do you want to form a battalion with Fat Vaccaro?

We are no longer kids. We are not in college.

They created this mess, they should fix it.

I'll play for you, so you can pocket one.

-l have a surprise. -I have to go, have a nice trip.

Where are you going? Sanctis!

Sanctis!

Hi, Olga, how are you? Sorry about the late hour.

ls Lucho here? I need to talk to him.

What are you doing here, Francisco? Lucho isn't here.

It will take just one second. I need to talk to your son.

Get out please

Just a second.

-Good evening. -Good evening.

-One ticket, please. -It has already started.

It doesn't matter.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Hi, Lucho, do you remember me? I'm Sanctis, your father's friend.

-What were you doing at my house? -Don't be scared.

I'm in a difficult situation and I think you can help me.

It will take a few minutes.

l have to give you some information.

Can I write it down somewhere?

Memorize it.

Julia Cardini.

Bernardo Lipstein.

Lacarra Street 6072.

They are going after them tonight.

I can't do anything.

I think you didn't understand. They are going to take them!

We have to do something.

-We still have time. -Get out.

Listen to me, boy. You have to help me.

I'm waiting for someone.

For what?

And can't we tell this person...

I'm sorry, I've never been in this situation, I'm nervous.

Tell me if there's something I can do for you.

What's the guy like?

He has to find me, but l have to be alone.

Do you understand that?

And if the guy doesn't show up, do you have a place to go?

No.

Take this.

Listen to me carefully.

I'll go out and wait across the street.

There stops a bus that goes to my house.

If the guy doesn't show up, come with me.

-OK? -Yes.

-Sure? -Yes.

Angelica.

No, nothing's wrong.

I'll walk Perugia to his house.

He drank too much and I don't want him to go alone.

I'm sorry. Yes.

Did I wake up the kids too?

Angelica...

What? No. Nothing.

It's nothing.

Don't hang up.

Perugia invited us again to go to Mar Del Plata.

We'll have to go some day.

Excuse me, are we near Lacarra Street?

It's the next stop.

-Is it here? -Yes.

Quiet!

Excuse me, l have to go to Lacarra Street 6000.

Lacarra Street.

Here the numbering goes up to 5800.

Do you know how can I get to the other side?

I'll leave my land for you.

I'll leave my fields and I'll go away.

Far from here.

I'll walk across the garden, crying and with your memories,

I'll leave.

Far from here

In daylight I'll live thinking of your smiles,

at night the stars will accompany me.

You'll be like a light that will illuminate my road,

I'm leaving but l promise that tomorrow I'll be back.

On leaving, a kiss and a flower.

One "I love you,' a caress and a good bye.

It's light luggage for such a long trip

but sorrow weighs on one's heart.

The stones of the road will fill my destiny,

what we love always remains back.

I'll look for a place for you where the sky meets the sea.

Far from here.

With my hands and your love I'll manage to find another dream.

Far from here.

-Which is the numbering of Street? -Leave me around the corner.

I don't have any cash. Here, take this.
