Broken Embraces Page #7

When the filming had finished, I asked him to drop it,

but she was afraid for the movie.

She didn't want to leave him, not until I had chosen

all the good shots.

(Phone)

(Off) Hello?

(Off) It's Magdalena.

(Off) Is everything ok, Magdalena?

(Off) No. I'm down here, and I've forgotten

the money. I have to pay the taxi...

I'm on my way.

Be right back.

She is in the toilet.

But..., but what has happened?

We've had a big fight.

Finally, he ripped my clothes off

and he threw me to the street half naked.

Give the driver a tip, he has lended me his

jacket. If it wasn't for him...

Son of a b*tch! Right now we're

going to tell the police!

No, Mateo!

Take me far away from here, please.

Yes, yes, yes, of course. As you wish.

("Werewolf" by Cat Power)

Give me the camera.

What are you writing?

"El secreto de la Playa del Golfo" (The secret of the Gulf Beach).

When I took the picture I hadn't seen the couple kissing.

And what is their secret?

I don't know, I need to write it to figure out.

That couple is us...

(Off TV) "What is it?

It looks like a leg.

(Off TV) It's an arm!

And the wto legs!"

(beeps)

(Off Harry) "Without noticing,

a month had already passed.

I knew that, sooner or later,

we would have to go back, but we were postponing it.

I was only worried about mum and you. I hadn't even

said goodbye to you,

and you were with your allergies

when we left"

(In english) Ok. The man with the bleach is

here. Do we need bleach? No? Ok. Over.

Hi, sorry to interrupt... I just wanted to ask if you

have any possiblilities for work with you here.

Well, we could use the help, especially now that

the high season is about to start.

Have you got any experience?

Yes, I have worked as a secretary in Madrid.

I am quite bilingual.

She could start working here in the

afternoons... and then we could see.

Wonderful!

Excuse me, excuse me. We were just saying

that the girl in the ad looks exactly like you.

No. It's not me.

I was wondering how long it would take to appear!

But they can't do the premiere so soon, can they?

No, I did it to annoy us, it's a trap

for you to come back.

The advertisment only needs a label that

reads "Wanted"

So what are we going to do?

Nothing. F*** him.

What?

The only intelligent thing we've done

is not to go to the premiere...

Bastards!

(Off Harry) "Judit, it is I.

I need to talk urgently to you.

Call me, please!

This is my number... 845132

Sorry... 28845132. Ah, and ask for Harry

Caine, I've given that name here.

Are you there?

I await your call!"

And mum didn't answer?

No.

Why?

Because she was upset, I guess.

But even if she was really angry, she

should have told you what was happening.

Yeah, the matter is that she didn't, and

we've never spoken about it.

And weren't you curious?

Me? I was dying f curiosity!

For two days I had been calling your mother and

Luis, the mounter, but nobody answered.

So I decided to go back to Madrid and see with

my own eyes what was happening.

It's the first time we split.

Anyway, I'll be back on the weekend.

But if you are going to stay here

worried, come with me.

No, I'm better off here.

Madrid scares me.

(Sinister metallic screeches)

( )

(Off Harry) "Magdalena's death didn't

surprise us hugging each other,

as we'd dreamed,

but in separate seats.

I was even surprised, leaving me alive."

Mateo...

Mateo, tell me something.

Mateo is dead, Judit.

Don't say that...

We call him with his name, but he refuses to

answer. Insists that Mateo is dead.

The pictures are the basis of his work.

Living in darkness, I guess was like death for him.

Is there any possibility that he sees again?

None. His is what we call cortical blindness,

and cannot be cured.

(Strong wind)

That is, very good, very good...

There are some stairs on the right side.

But it's not here, we have to go a

bit further.

Come on, I'll guide you

until we get to the border

Come on, that is... very good...

We're almost there.

Now there are some steps until we get to the car

and we're going to walk them slowly

because they are very high.

They are 25cm , I measured them before.

Wait, i'll leave you the bag.

Come on, let's go...

The first one is the hardest

but I'll hold you.

That is, slide your feet.

You're there. Let's go.

Very good...

Come on, now the second.

That's it...

A bit more.

There, that's it. No more steps.

Did you go to see Lena's mother in town?

Yes.

What did she say?

She was very pleased with Ernesto

for having taken care of everything.

Is he there?

Yes. She was buried with his father.

Did you see the tomb?

Yes.

How was it?

Simple.

The mother told me that they didn't want luxuries.

Look, mum, the sea!

We're in "Famara".

Please, stop!

I'm getting off here.

No, wait a second.

How are you going to get off here?

You go to the reception and do whatever

you have to do. I'll wait for you in the beach.

I want to get off here, too!

But how are you going to get off with this strong wind?

I'm not bothered by the wind.

Shut up, Diego, shut up!

Stop the car, please.

Mum, please. Let me stay, it's the first time

I've seen the sea, please...

Well, well..., all right. But be careful.

And don't get too close to the sea.

Give him your hand and don't let go, please.

Be careful with the wind, too. Oh, my god! That's it.

Careful, there's a step!

Please, let's go.

Wait here, please.

Good morning...

(In english) Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I am here to pay the Mateo Blanco's bill, please.

Who?

Mateo Blanco.

We dont have anyone here registered

by that name, right?

Its the man who had the accident.

You mean Harry Caine?

Yes... of course...

(Barking and wind)

(Shouts) Harry! Harry Caine!

We're here, Judit!

We have to go, Harry.

Let's go, Dieguito.

Dieguito, give me your hand.

Can't we stay here for a while longer?

No, you've had enough wind for today.

(whispers) I'm here... Harry.

Careful, don't trip over.

Do you remember "Famara", Diego?

Perfectly.

It was the first time I saw the sea. I remember

the kytes and a dog barking.

I remember that dog barking as well...

What are you doing?

I'm trying to reconstruct your pictures...

I have almost one complete...

What do you want to do to cheer you up a bit?

I'd like to hear Jeanne Moreau's voice.

Well I don't have the phone.

Search "Ascensor para el cadalso" by Louis Malle.

Ok.Fritz Lang, Jules Dassin,

Nicholas Ray...

Search on the top.

"Fanny and Alexander", "Fellini Eight and a half",

"Obsession"...

"Ascensor para el cadalso", I've got it here.

I haven't seen it.

I hope you like it.

(TV)

Are you crazy? How am I going to throw it away?

What I have to do is to make the police find it

in my house.

Leave that! That is "Chicas y maletas"!

But I don't understand...

Well that's pretty clear.

If the police finds in my place 15 kilos of

uncut coke, I could get arrested.

Yes, but I don't understand how that suitcase

has appeared in your home, like that...
