in
THE WEEK OF THE k*ller
Don't let him get it!
Be careful, he's coming up, be careful!
You've gotta get him!
It's my turn.
Again? But you folded.
Where? Where?
Go to the line.
Hey, get me another bottle.
Right away.
Ernie says, in this weather,
it's much better to have consomme.
But this soup will fill you up good, huh?
It's real chicken, and no preservatives.
Not like they use where
you work at, Marcos.
Listen, Rosa, the soups
we make in the factory
aren't that bad.
Yeah, soup from Flory has
all the right ingredients.
Yeah, and it tastes like
mother used to make.
But it's nowhere near
as good as yours, Rosa.
It's really getting hot.
Where you gotta be about 7:00 tonight?
I have a date with Paula.
We'll probably take in
a movie or something.
And go for a walk.
It's about time you had
a real woman, not a child.
I could teach you some things.
Rosa, we've got other
customers to serve.
Stop wasting your time over there.
I'm coming Ernie.
Don't forget my proposal, okay?
I always give my family the
best food that I can find.
That's why I give them Flory Soup.
Because Flory soups have, mmm,
the flavor of good, rich, meat.
♪ Flory, Flory, Flory ♪
Sorry.
You are late.
Dinner was later than usual.
If I could meet you at your house
I wouldn't have to wait here like a fool.
That's impossible, darling.
You know what my father feels.
He would k*ll me if he had any idea
that I was seeing you, Marcos.
You're not happy, say something.
I just think we're never
going to get married.
You never talk about making more money,
and most men do who want marriage.
I really have to think about these things.
If you want us to break up, say so.
Paula...
But I love you.
All right, we'll get married.
As soon as I get a better job
at the factory, believe me.
I believe you, Marcos.
Far from the subway, what
will we do, it's late?
Don't worry, we'll get a taxi.
Here comes one, now.
Taxi, taxi!
Hey, you two are pretty
lucky I was out this way.
It's getting quite late.
Hey, what gives?
You've got the wrong cab.
All right, everybody out.
Man, what gives?
I don't run a bordello.
Get out of here, Romeo and Juliet.
Both of you, get out of my cab.
Listen, it's not your
business to look at us.
Now on top of it,
you want to start an argument, chum?
Haven't you ever been
with a girl before?
What are you, some kind of h*m*?
Look buddy, I'm a married man.
Mind your own business
and drive us into town.
Well, I don't want any
fooling around in my taxi.
Please, Marcos, please,
we better get out.
Go on, get out, there's plenty
of time to enjoy the night.
Just get yourselves a bed.
Or do you prefer to make love in public?
Stop, you hear, stop.
Let's go. My suggestion
to you is shove your taxi.
Hey, just a minute,
you still have 3.50 on the meter to pay.
You don't think you're gonna get away
with a free ride, do you?
Pay you, hell, you didn't
take us where we told you.
Look here, lover boy,
I don't have to take any lip from you.
Are you trying to say
you don't wanna pay me?
Not one penny.
I don't have to take
your insults, understand?
I'm not paying you.
Pay him, Marcos, and let's go.
That's pretty good advice, buster.
If you won't pay, I'll make
it a night you won't forget.
I've had just about enough of your crap.
Beast!
I am gonna give you the beating
that your father never
had time to give you.
Marcos!
Come on, quick.
I'm so scared, Marcos,
you might've k*lled him.
Think he's gonna be all right?
Oh, don't worry.
You can only k*ll a person as
easy as that in the movies.
Any scratches?
Nope.
I'll get hell for arriving home so late.
Shall I meet you tomorrow
at the supermarket?
No, I'll meet you at the bus stop.
Fine, about seven.
I won't sleep a wink
tonight, I just know it.
Don't be silly, darling.
I'll see you.
Come on.
Hi.
Out walking the dog?
That's right, same as always.
I didn't think you were still here.
Thought everybody living
there was off on vacation.
Yes, my family went away.
We've been left alone, my dog and me.
Why do you stay here?
It's so hot.
I didn't care to go.
You always act indifferent, why?
Guess it's the way I'm made.
You live near to me,
and I'd hoped that maybe,
eventually, we could become
better friends. Smoke?
Thanks.
You look very tired. Been working hard?
No, just a bit nervous.
Guess I better be going. Be seeing you.
Yeah, sure.
MONDAY
Hey, Marcos, drop your work.
The chief wants to see you in his office.
See me, why?
Who knows, maybe it's a better job.
Yes?
Yes. No, that should be solved by control.
Sure, you're welcome, dear friend.
So, where were we?
What the company has decided.
What have they decided?
Very straightforward, very simple,
to grant you the promotion.
Because this factory, believe it or not,
is as much yours as mine,
as the CEO's.
We have all created it,
we have all raised it.
Do you follow me? You follow me, right?
Good. Well, in short,
the machines have arrived.
Yes, they have arrived, but they are not
like the other machines.
No, no, they are so precise, so perfect,
you could say that the brains of 100
wise men have been placed inside them,
placed in the perfect position.
But like all perfect works,
this machinery needs great care,
great care.
Its mechanism is so delicate, so precise,
So--
How shall we say?
Synchronized.
So synchronized,
that it should not be put in the hands
of any random person.
We need a man with great experience.
Do you follow me?
That machine will be your new boss,
together you can perform
interesting work,
fair, competitive.
How shall we say?
Synchronized.
That, synchronized. Thanks, child.
Not only have we taken into account
the 15 years you've been
at the service of the company,
but to this we have added
the ever-present memory
of your mother, a great operator.
Your mother.
A lifetime of complete dedication
to this society,
until that unfortunate
and unpredictable accident ended her life.
It's true that the company at the time
not only paid what the guild and union
foresee for such cases,
but also paid on its own
a splendid compensation,
and even paid for
a quarter-page obituary
in the ABC newspaper.
Go, son, go to the machine,
and let no one say
that you are not worthy of it.
Let the next one in.
TAXI DRIVER FOUND DEAD
Marcos, what happened?
The paper have anything?
No, not a word.
Did you read it all?
But there was something, the man died.
His picture's in the paper.
If he hadn't come at me like he did--
And well, when he began
hitting you, Paula,
I couldn't help myself.
Come on, let's not stand here.
Let's go, come on.
Where are we going?
To my house.
It's the only place where
we can talk quietly.
And your brother?
Away on a trip.
He won't come back till after tomorrow.
We came here to talk, quit
fooling with that package.
What is it?
Just some plastic bags for
the garbage pail, for my mother.
Yeah.
I'm afraid, Marcos.
But, afraid of what?
There was nobody who saw
us take the taxi, nobody.
I'm sure they'll find out it was us.
Nobody knows, but if you
keep on with that face,
then everyone will know.
Don't be a fool, trust me.
Nobody will find out?
You believe that?
No one.
Want a smoke?
Do you regret making love, darling?
You crying about that?
Is there something else?
Please tell me then, darling.
Why don't we tell
everything to the police?
Tell what, what happened in there?
You know what I mean,
Marcos, don't joke.
Marcos, let's go and see the police.
We decided I was to
take care of it, remember?
Yes, but after all that,
we should go and see them together, huh?
No one is going to the police.
But we ought to tell them what happened.
That he kicked you and hit me.
They wouldn't believe a word.
And your family.
How would you like them to know
that you've been going out with me?
But, we should tell the truth.
Because you and I are
getting married, aren't we?
Yes, of course we are.
Then to the police.
Don't act like an idiot.
If we go to the police,
it will spoil everything.
You know what time it is?
It's almost 10, pretty late.
You'll see, now, tomorrow
you'll think in another way.
I'll think the same as now.
So will I, I don't wanna be locked up.
Then I'll go to the police alone.
What's wrong with you?
You act more like a baby every minute.
That's because you
treat me like a child.
Look beautiful, it's late,
but let's go back to the house.
We have to agree on this, come on.
You can talk all you like,
but you won't change my mind.
Well, please do listen
to what I have to say.
I'm not a kid anymore, understand?
And when I say no, it's no.
That's the trouble.
If you were younger,
you'd have more courage.
You just don't get it, Paula.
Leave me alone!
I haven't a chance in my situation.
Stop, you're hurting me.
But can't you see, Paula?
If we go to the police,
they'll never listen to someone
as poor as I am, a nobody.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Police will listen to the rich only.
I don't believe that,
it's a bunch of nonsense.
But a good lawyer costs
money, far too much.
It's funny, I think my marriage
with you would never work.
And you know why?
I can't believe anyone
who won't face reality.
And marriage can't be built on lies.
Don't pretend with me,
Marcos, it won't work.
I don't want to be made a fool of.
That's what you believe?
Yes.
So I can go to the police
or I can go to hell, right?
Marcos.
It was you that wanted
the marriage, and I agreed.
Now you say, forget it.
Oh Marcos, I do want it.
TUESDAY
So you are Juana's son?
Yes, did you know her?
Did I know her?
I was close to her
the day of the accident.
See, moments earlier, she was so normal,
so fresh, and suddenly, she turned into
a human torch, running like hell.
She didn't run, she flew. Tripped
over a stool, and the stool burned down.
She grabbed onto a shelf,
and the shelf looked like a burning log,
and thank goodness she didn't make it
to the acid decanters, because
the factory would've gone to hell. And
you don't want to know how she screamed.
She didn't scream, she shrieked.
So much that the workers in the other wing
heard her and
thought it was the factory siren
and stopped working.
It smelled, God, yes, it smelled.
So much that after a month,
that room still smelled of your mother.
It's better to forget those things.
Yes, let's leave it.
This is the machine.
What do you think?
It seems complicated.
Complicated?
You don't have to do a thing, she
does everything.
Look, every five minutes,
you have to load it through the hopper.
The machine does the rest.
Cook,
grind,
and finally turn everything into pulp.
Quite easy.
That's it.
You see,
if in those times
we would have had machines like this,
Juana would be alive and well.
You know, if you ever want us to write
a little paragraph about your mother,
look for me, I would be delighted.
Hi, Steve.
Hi, Marcos, did I have a difficult time.
That damn truck of mine broke
down and I had to come back.
That's why I'm a day early.
Have you eaten?
No, anything cold to drink?
No, afraid not, I drank it all.
Well, why don't we go to Rosa's then?
I've been riding for six hours straight.
Wait until you see the
present I bought for Carmen.
I picked out this watch
that cost me plenty.
Between that and wedding expenses,
haven't been able to save a dime.
Naturally, and from now on
you can't screw around anymore.
Tell me Marcos,
when are you gonna start
enjoying yourself a little?
From home to the factory, and
from factory to the home.
Everyone amuses themselves
the way that they like.
You're sure a strange one.
I can hardly believe you're my brother.
Take six so you can double.
Okay, okay, I got them.
Gonna be here long, Steve?
No, getting hitched to Carmen next week.
Won't be around much longer, Rosa.
I see you're going to be a good husband.
Treat Carmen well, she's a good girl.
Don't you cheat.
I won't if I can help it.
Come on, I'll believe that
when you're in a wheelchair.
Well listen, would it be all right
if I leave my jalopy here?
Won't you take it?
Yeah, good place to spend
the wedding night with Carmen.
I'm sure she'll enjoy that.
Hey Rosa, what have you been doing
to make my brother so happy?
What did I do to him? Nothing.
Well, I meant to say
what's he been eating here?
Very little.
Something wrong?
Spit it out.
That's what brothers are for,
to tell your troubles to.
It has to do with my girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
You're too old of a hand
to be letting a girl and
get you down like this.
No, it's not that.
Something more complicated.
Well then, out with
it, tell me what's wrong.
Suppose we go home, I
can speak easier there.
We're leaving, Rosa.
Okay.
See you later.
Is the poker game on for later tonight?
Is that all you men ever
think of is playing cards?
I think it's dull, there
are better things to do.
In that case, I'll see you later,
and we'll play together.
Have you gone crazy?
What happened, couldn't
you leave her or what?
Better to have married her
than to have done this!
No, it's not that, it
wasn't that way at all.
Sure, you panic, and
the world breaks down.
Too bad you couldn't make it with Rosa.
No man, you make it with young chicks.
You've made yourself a whole
lot of trouble, you idiot!
Later, I'll tell you everything, Steve,
but now will you help me?
I'll go to the police with you, for now.
But let's invent some kind of a story.
No, not to the police.
Maybe we can take her in
the truck, and maybe--
But you don't think that
you're gonna get away with this?
It won't be long and the
fuzz will be swarming here.
Don't you think they won't
be looking for the girl?
But you wouldn't let
me go to jail, would you?
You should've thought
about that earlier, Marcos.
Now that your life is in such a mess,
you come here and you wanna
try and spoil mine too.
Steve, if you won't help me,
who else do I have to turn to?
Marcos, you've made yourself
one hell of a situation.
The best thing is to turn yourself in.
No, I can't.
Look, I never thought that
you could be capable of doing
such a terrible thing, Marcos.
But I'm taking you to the police
if it's the last thing I do.
Do you hear?
If you want me to go, I'll go.
We don't have to fight about it, you know?
I hope not, now you're once
again my brother, Marcos.
This is Paula's.
I guess it got on here when
I carried her to the bedroom.
Better not bug yourself.
It's important that you
get it off your chest
as soon as possible.
Look Marcos, I don't feel good about this,
but I want you to know,
we have to clean up this mess.
WEDNESDAY
Are you through with work?
Yeah, just closed.
What's wrong with him?
He's horny, do you know
anyone who's got a b*tch?
No, there's a bunch
of mutts around here.
No good, it has to be a boxer.
Well, is he particular?
I believe tonight I might
let him roam where he wants to.
Well, he better be careful
they don't eat him up.
The mutts that live around
here are a pretty hungry lot.
There's no danger.
A well-fed dog is always
stronger than the hungry one.
Something you never know.
There's nothing more
powerful than hunger.
You sound like a demagogue.
Like a what?
No, nothing, I didn't insult you though.
See you later.
So long.
It's an hour I've been waiting here.
What happened to your brother?
He hasn't come back as yet.
Not returned from where?
Yesterday he telephoned to say
he was coming back a day earlier.
Well, he is back from the
trip, he's out on an errand.
It's too much, he hasn't called all day.
Here we are about to be married
and me with a thousand things to do.
Calm down, Carmen, don't be nervous.
Would you like to come in?
Why not, he can't be gone too long.
And if you don't mind, Marcos.
Here, it's already 10:00.
I'd like to know what he's up to.
I'm not leaving until he
gets back, you just wait.
I've never seen a house
as dirty as this place.
It smells funny.
And dad is waiting for me
to get his dinner ready.
Well then, let him get
used to eating alone.
When you're living with Steve--
Oh, you don't know him well.
He's not even used to the
idea of my getting married.
Well, he'll have to get used
to it, he'll soon be alone.
Why not go home, instead
of sitting around here?
When Steve gets back
home, I'll have him call.
He's a b*stard.
I bet you he's out having himself
a little fling with a chick.
But I guess I'm too
much hung up on the guy
to tell him what he could go and do.
Did he mention anything of the
gift he was supposed to get?
Well, oh no, what was it?
A wristwatch, I'll go take
a look in his room and see.
No, no, don't.
But what's wrong?
Oh, I get it, he wants
to make it a surprise.
How nice he is, even though
he acts like a beast.
I wanna see.
I don't want you to go in there.
Well, if you say so.
What's bothering you?
I guess you wanna keep
Steve's surprise a secret.
I'm sorry, Carmen.
The truth is, he didn't say anything.
You know what he's like, don't you?
He's a man who likes to surprise everyone.
Well, well, well.
I'm starting to get a terrible headache.
Do you have any aspirin?
Well, I don't know, there
could be some in the kitchen.
Oh, go on, Marcos, be a good Samaritan.
Go get me a couple of aspirins
and a glass of water, okay?
Do you really want me
to bring the aspirins?
Yes, my head really aches.
Well, okay.
Here's your glass of water.
It really is a shame, Carmen,
but I couldn't find the aspirin.
I'm really sorry.
Take the water.
Hi, hot isn't it?
Yeah, sure.
Have you finished with
the girl, lover boy?
I saw her waiting for
you in front of the house
when you arrived home this
evening, and she wasn't bad.
Maybe I could meet her.
No, no, it's not what you think.
Besides, she's already gone.
Okay, that's why you're so bushed, huh?
Yeah, it could be,
not only that, the heat.
Yeah, it's really warm.
You know something?
I let the dog loose, 1
gave him two hours freedom.
Do you feel like walking?
No, it's getting late.
Oh, come on now, it's still
early, let's take a walk.
Why not?
It's curious, we've
seen each other for weeks
and we don't even know each other's names.
Mine is Nestor. And yours?
Marcos.
Why should a guy like me interest you?
You must know an awful
lot of important people.
Important people always think
they have a solution for everything.
It must be wonderful to find
a solution for everything.
You know something?
You're going to think that I'm an idiot,
but all this darkness
makes me feel afraid.
Afraid? Of what?
It's easy to be afraid,
and I should know.
Anyway, I don't want
you to think I'm a fool.
There's a cafe over there,
let's go have a drink, okay?
I'm beginning to think
that we're both rare birds.
Yeah, why?
It's obvious, I ought
to be like you said,
with guys in my own class,
dancing in the discotheques,
spending the summer in Torremolinos,
racing over the highways at 120 per hour.
And you should have a home,
with a wife, maybe, and some kids.
Making a down payment on a washer.
And with luck, be able
to have your own car.
Oh sure, it's possible for you.
But marriage just isn't for me right now.
But who knows, it might have been, once.
Most men do sometimes want that.
However I must say your idea
is impossible for me right now.
My brother's engaged.
His plans are to live
out in the country now.
I don't know, I can't be sure
about my own future though.
I have a friend who's very
wise, he's always reading.
He'd call us pariahs or outcasts.
What was that?
Nothing, just some words.
Police, kids, let's
see your identification.
Sure.
And yours, where's your ID?
Sorry, I don't have it with me.
No identification?
I left it at the house.
Well, what are you doing
here at this time of night?
Passing the time,
and having a drink.
Don't you know it's the law
that you have to carry
some kind of identity card?
I'm awfully sorry, but...
Excuse me, inspector,
I know the young man.
He lives in this new building over there.
Oh, he lives over there,
in one of those high rise apartments.
Well, in that case, just don't forget.
You should always carry
your identity card with you.
We have to be careful.
You never know what we might
find out here, good evening.
So long, inspector,
always good to see you.
I like your place,
there aren't many left.
I don't like it.
Then why do you stay in it?
I believe I've heard that people
who used to live in
these houses have moved
because of the high
rises they're building.
Someday they'll build here
too, and I'll have to leave.
It's a pity.
I would like it if you'd
let me take a peek inside.
There isn't much to see.
Plaster's falling down,
walls are damp and dirty.
It's full of memories which
wouldn't interest you.
You should bury them.
What do you mean?
Get rid of the memories.
Hello, Trotsky, did you have some fun?
Yeah, boy, oh, good dog.
It's late. I'm going in, I'm tired.
Yeah, we're also beat. See you tomorrow.
Yeah, sure.
Thanks for the company.
Good night.
THURSDAY
How come you're here so early, Elmer?
Just where is your brother?
On his truck, he hasn't come back.
Why do you ask?
Because I'm looking for my daughter.
She told me he was back.
I see. That's odd,
Carmen must be mistaken.
Marcos, I'm pretty sure of my daughter.
It was about 4:00 in the afternoon
when Carmen left the house.
Now it's 6:00 in the morning,
and she isn't back yet.
She must have entertained herself.
Hey, don't joke around.
As if to top it all off,
she would stay with me.
You see--
Your brother is a smart one,
but it won't work on me.
Man, they're getting married next week.
You make it very easy.
My late wife was flirtier than Carmen,
and I resisted.
Plus, they can do want they want
during business hours,
but at 11:00 PM,
she must be at home.
Look, Mr. Ambrosio,
do you want to smoke?
No, I don't want to smoke.
Stop messing around.
You're going to tell me at once where
Carmen and that brother of yours are.
- I don't know.
- I'm surprised you don't know.
Are they not here, in the house?
Your brother has no shame
for that, and much more.
Well, she's not in
here, really, she isn't.
I haven't seen her in a week.
Get out of the way, I wanna go in there.
No.
Yeah?
Then how do you explain Carmen's purse
if she didn't come to this place?
She just couldn't stay
away from your brother
until they were married,
the little fool. The fool!
Please, you're mistaken.
And now the family would
be ridiculed by everybody.
Your brother can't do this to me.
You can't keep me out of there.
You're strong enough to
keep me from there now,
but I have an equalizer at home.
You just wait, and I'll be back, Marcos.
Wait a minute, don't be hasty.
What do you want?
Well, please go in there if you want to.
If that's what you need to ease your mind.
So you're ashamed to
look me in the face!
And now we present
the classic hits of yesteryear.
There's a halfway
mark at round four.
The action's starting to pick up.
Russell seems to be getting stronger.
Armstrong has a good left jab working.
There's 30 seconds.
FRIDAY
- He likes television?
- There isn't much.
In the summer, we don't
sell a lot of meat.
That's fine, the dog doesn't
eat like a tiger anymore.
Hi Rosa, coffee, please.
Right away, Marcos.
Hi, going to work?
Yeah.
What a surprise to see
you here and up so early.
I'm not getting up,
I didn't even get to bed.
Been up all night.
Rosa, give me a coffee.
Insomnia?
No, I spent the night at the typewriter.
Writing a letter to your parents?
No, I'm writing a
book now, it's my hobby.
You're writing a book?
Well, I hope to have it published.
Who knows, we'll just have to see.
I better be on my way.
Rosa, here's your money.
Bye, Marcos, don't be such a bad boy.
Come and see me more often.
You like sports?
Yeah, I go to the gym.
Hm, there's weights in there,
are you a muscle man?
No, I have many things
I need in there.
I'll be seeing you.
I would like to go with you some day.
I need some exercise.
Trotsky, cut it out.
I better get going.
I will see you later, no?
It's possible, so long.
Thank you. And you, sir?
I need something for cooking odors,
like I've seen advertised on television.
Oh, something to smell nice and clean.
Yes sir, I'll take six.
There are various types.
Now this one is inexpensive
and it smells just divine.
Is there anything more?
Perfume.
What fragrance?
Well, a type with a strong aroma.
Yeah, well, there are
many different kinds,
but I have a brand, fresh,
very much in demand.
I'll give you a sniff of it.
I'll take 10 bottles, thank you.
What, 107
You know that's enough
to supply a whole Navy!
No, on the arm.
Here we are, like it?
Any woman would love
this scent, all right?
That's fine.
And would you like anything else?
No, nothing more.
It's a present that will
make your wife tingle with joy,
because she'll have enough
perfume for a long time to come.
I'm single.
Oh so...
Well you see that this type
can be used by any man
without having the teeniest
bit of embarrassment.
You know, why I have
several men customers.
What do I owe?
That will be 20 even.
Thank you very much.
What, you don't want the yellow coupons?
Get out of here, go!
Go on, scram, stay away from here!
Want something to eat?
Yeah, if it's too late,
I can get a sandwich somewhere else.
Oh wait, I haven't eaten either.
Join me, come on.
Enough for you?
Where's Ernie?
Like always, sleeping.
And Steve, where's he?
Away on a trip.
He had to get some papers for the wedding.
Your brother's very nice.
It's curious, but I haven't seen
Carmen or her father around.
Well, you know how it is.
I guess Carmen is preparing
things for the wedding,
and her father could be helping her.
Would you like something more?
No, I've had enough.
How about some milk with egg in it?
It makes a very good dessert.
No, really, I should go.
Oh, it just takes a second.
Here, drink up.
Finish it, you haven't looked
well these past few days.
Steve said I should take care of you.
I'm sorry, please let me fix it.
It's not important,
they are my work clothes.
There, almost as good as new.
Thanks for feeding me so well.
How much?
Nothing, it's on the house.
But, Rosa.
I enjoyed it, I said you were my guest.
Thanks again.
Hi man, were you frightened?
I guess you did.
Don't worry, where are you going?
Home, I was just on my way there now.
Do you wanna take a swim?
Where?
The pool stays open quite
late at my club, come on.
Wake up, we're here.
I was really sleeping.
It's not strange, you get up so early.
I find it strange.
I just can't recall when I slept so well.
I was really relaxed.
If I were curious I'd
ask what's bothering you.
But I'm not curious.
I'm going. I'm glad
you invited me tonight.
I guess the swim did you
good. See you tomorrow.
Yeah, thanks.
SATURDAY
Hey, here he comes.
Going in for sports, Marcos?
Yeah, boxing.
Very professional. Nice sports
bag, what's inside, gloves?
Hey, now that he's got a new job,
he's getting high and fancy.
You should show us the gloves
and let us have a chance
to warm up too, Marcos.
Stop screwing around, will you?
Don't act like kids.
Give it here, damn it!
Hey, big shot, what do
you think he's got in here?
Smells like perfume. Take the bag.
You aren't one of the g*ng anymore.
Well, the next thing you know,
he'll be moving into one of those
ultra fancy high rises. Get lost.
Well, I'm going to do a walk-through.
If they don't see me swinging around,
they won't mess with me.
Why does the shredder worker
come with a bag every day?
I don't know.
It's weird.
Do you suspect that he may be
stealing tools or something?
It's surprising, he's been
in the factory for many years.
Anyway, it wouldn't hurt
to take a look.
Okay. I'm going to take a look.
I don't want you getting
off on the wrong foot,
"cause the last guy that had this job
was fired for stealing meat, understand?
No, the bag was empty.
We have to keep watching him.
- Something strange is going on.
- Yes.
This shredding machine
is still in testing,
and the report from the laboratory has
come back saying
that they found a strange element
on the table.
We'll be on the lookout.
Marcos, soup's on the table.
Hey, Ernie, another beer.
Tell me how you like it, it's
not the same soup as always.
It's one of those from your factory.
Flory, like mother used to make.
You don't like it, Marcos?
But what's wrong with it?
It can't be that bad, I had some myself.
You look sick, aren't you feeling well?
I'm going, not hungry.
But, sit down and have something else.
I'll fix you a T-bone. Red
meat, that's what you need.
Tomorrow, if I feel hungry.
You should go to your
house and lie down.
Is something wrong, Marcos?
Something I ate, I feel bad.
Can I get you something, an aspirin?
No, thanks, I'm okay.
I'll be all right.
As you wish.
SUNDAY
I'll see you later.
Where are you going?
I'm going to confession.
To church?
But you haven't been there, Rosa,
since your first communion.
Well, today I want to.
It's eight years today
since mother died. See ya.
Hey, without a veil?
I don't need it, I use my handkerchief.
Well, come back right after the service,
because I don't want to be left alone
and do all the cooking here.
Who is it?
Open up, it's me, Rosa.
How are you Marcos, feel all right?
Better, better, thanks.
I'm so glad.
I was passing by and I
thought if you weren't better,
then someone would have to look after you.
No, no, I'm all right.
May I come in?
It'd be nice to see your house.
Yeah, if you like, come on in.
I wondered how a man keeps
house when he lives alone.
Have you had your breakfast?
No, I just this minute got up.
Well then, just slide down again
and I'll prepare something to eat for you.
I brought you a sweet roll.
What smells in here?
What? Smells? Garbage.
I forgot to take it out last night.
Is there a kitchen?
Back there, but don't bother.
You just lie down on the sofa there.
I'm okay, I feel much better now.
You just relax, I'll prepare everything,
and you'll enjoy it. Let me, please.
That garbage smell seems
to come from in there.
Most people don't sleep
with their garbage.
They keep it in the kitchen.
Your breakfast is served, my Lord.
Thanks Rosa, that was very nice.
No, don't you get up,
it's better the way you are.
Don't you want the sweet roll?
Later, I'll get it.
Don't let him get it!
I can come over every day now
and help you to straighten up around here.
A house always needs a woman.
And right now, I'm gonna
clean up that room.
The odor from there is too much.
No, don't do a thing.
We hardly ever use that
room and it's not aired.
I'd rather you didn't go in.
No, no, no, no, no, I insist
that you let me clean it.
I wanna clean that room
and give it a good airing.
You need fresh air to feel better.
But don't you see?
I don't want you going in there.
All right, then you do it, I don't mind.
Please, excuse me.
I don't want you to suspect that I could--
What do you mean, suspect?
Better get going, Ernie's waiting for me.
I've been here for more than an hour.
I don't know what to
explain to Ernie, Marcos.
And there's so much work to do
at the bar, being a busy day.
Well sure, you know what I mean?
I don't want you to go, Rosa.
I know it doesn't smell good in here.
But look, this will get rid of the smell.
Only I clean up that room, understand?
I'm glad you took the trouble
to bring me that pastry.
Never had anyone so nice to me.
And maybe perhaps we'll do it again.
I've been thinking,
we should see each other more often, Rosa.
Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll clean up
the whole house for you,
and I'll wear my best dress for you,
and I should be going to work.
Tomorrow I can come back and...
Yeah, Rosa, sure.
You see, you see?
It's gone away.
It smells a little bit.
Much better than before.
Tomorrow, I'll buy a lot more of this.
It's not expensive, you know?
And it smells good, don't
you recognize the smell?
It's like pine trees.
Don't be so worried,
maybe pretend my house
is all right and clean.
Maybe we could try to be friends,
and maybe you could be
my woman, permanently.
You should be able to have
trust and faith in me.
Trust and faith, it's true,
I mean it. You believe that?
There's no smell. Why? Why?
Yes, yes, I believe you.
I better be going, Marcos.
I promise not to tell anybody.
I swear by the Holy Mother.
Why did you have to come here
and spoil everything, Rosa?
- Why?
- Marcos, Marcos!
What happened?
His paw is broken.
I could tell someone.
Yes, it's best to call a vet, right?
You'll see, they won't want to come.
Get away, get out of here!
Move, go on!
How are you, Marcos?
I can't say.
You seem to be lonely.
I am lonely.
But today more than before.
And alone on the porch?
It's too hot in there.
Well, come then, to my place.
Your place.
Why not?
We can fix ourselves a drink,
chat, be bored together.
I locked the dog out.
This way we can talk.
Sometimes they're too
much, you know what I mean?
Oh, we need ice, come
with me to the kitchen.
Hm.
My mother didn't want
to leave me alone here.
She was afraid I'd have
parties and get into trouble.
What she doesn't know. Ouch!
What happened?
I cut myself.
It's not the first time
with these damn things.
Don't do it that way,
it's better with cold water.
It'll soon be okay.
I know a lot of people who
get ill when they see blood.
You're not the same way about blood.
No, it doesn't bother me in the least.
Do you want soda?
Yeah, sure.
Strong right
from Smith stuns McNally.
Do you like boxing?
Yeah, sometimes.
McNally's
coming with a good left lead.
Smith is down, two, three,
four, five, six, seven.
And Smith is up at the corner bay.
A beautiful view from here.
They're very good glasses,
they can pick out anything.
Smith is
fighting for survival.
Look here, I'm looking
in your house now.
The small window filled with flowers.
You left your lights on.
You know what?
Marcos, you can see very clear
into your living room, look.
Turn both dials until it's into focus.
You can see perfectly.
That's
the 10 second warning.
Both boys are standing in their corners.
None too worse after that last round.
And there we go for round five.
Have you made much
use of those binoculars?
Sure, I've seen a lot out there.
Now Smith
is picking up his tempo.
You should bury them, everything.
You can't get away with it.
What are you doing?
Come on, you need a drink.
And don't break it.
Did I scare you very much?
A little, a guy doesn't try
to cut your throat every day.
But you weren't even afraid,
and fear you can notice.
It's something you can
see, and even smell.
But you, you showed no fear.
Why should I fear you?
I haven't forced you with any pressures.
Or perhaps, I didn't believe
that you would really try to k*ll me.
What's more likely is I
didn't care if I did die.
Your work in the slaughter house
is necessary for people like me.
We like to eat the meat,
but not prepare it.
But you should not relate this to humans.
This is good whiskey, very good.
I find it helps a lot, Nestor.
Thanks for inviting me.
What did you see through those binoculars?
And what do you know about me?
Everything. You're
alone, and you're sad,
and you need some help,
and I want to help you.
Why?
Let's say it's a situation.
It's a surprise.
I've been without any
help for so long now.
- Really?
- Really.
Well, I'm going to help you, okay?
It's up to you.
Yeah, thank you.
You must leave that hell you're in.
And whatever decision
you make, I'm with you.
I know what to do now.
I'm sure you do.
I guess I'll be going.
There isn't any reason
for any more explanations.
I know what to do now, Nestor.
Well, I guess I won't be seeing you.
Keep well, bye.
Police, I have k*lled six persons.
I'll wait for you at my house.
Have you got a pencil?
I'll give you the address.
