Magical Girl Page #5

You know what?

Last year I got the school degree,

and now I can help my brother-in-law

with his stuff. I'm good at numbers.

It's true, you were good.

- Do you mind?

- No.

A lot of memories are coming back to me,

and I have a feeling like

ten years or more have gone by.

And ever since I went out I'm clean,

you know?

I don't take anything but joints

and sometimes a bit of MDMA.

But in short, nothing, clean.

What about Rat and Cao?

I left them there

working on their degrees like you.

You've always been a great teacher.

I always tell my sister and brother-in-law

how much you helped me in prison.

- Thanks a lot.

- You're welcome.

No, thanks.

We couldn't convince my father at first,

but now he smokes 15 a day,

relying on marijuana for pain relief.

- You know, he has prostate cancer.

- I'm sorry.

Pepo...

...remember what you told me when

you passed your first exam in prison?

No.

You told me to look for you if I needed

anything after getting released.

Now I need something.

"The moon kisses your pure tears"

"Like a promise of good fortune"

"People call you Fire Girl"

"And they are letting you die of thirst"

"Oh Fire Girl, oh Fire Girl"

"Inside my soul I have a fountain"

"So your guilt bends to drink"

"Oh Fire Girl, oh Fire Girl"

"Woman that cries and suffers"

"I offer you salvation"

"I offer you salvation"

"Affection is blind"

"I'm a good and sympathetic man"

"Come on, come with me, Fire Girl"

See you later.

Hello.

- What are you having?

- A liqueur coffee.

Right away.

Thanks.

Good evening.

- What would you like?

- Rioja, if you have.

- I have the house Rioja.

- That's fine.

- Thanks.

- To you.

I'm out for a smoke.

- Excuse me, do you have a light?

- Yes, of course.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Do you know who's playing?

- Pardon?

- I asked if you knew who's playing.

- No, not really.

- You don't like football.

- Not much.

A mortal sin in this country.

- What about you?

- I like to watch it.

I like to watch the NT games,

but I don't follow any club.

I like sports, but not the business

Few things are not businesses anymore.

I remember when I used to teach,

a few years ago,

that I coached the school's futsal team.

It was nothing, but they had

a good time, which was the point.

Nowadays they only want to be famous

and have a top model for a girlfriend.

To become an athlete comes last.

- Did you used to teach?

- Yes.

- What field?

- Mathematics.

I was literature teacher.

- So you're a teacher as well.

- Was, now I'm unemployed.

The state of Education is terrible.

Terrible.

I'm going in.

Thank you.

Do you mind if I sit there?

- Sure, go ahead.

- Thanks.

- Damian, please to meet you.

- Luis.

- Are you from the neighborhood?

- No, I've come to visit a friend.

- Do you live here?

- Yes, all my life.

- It's a nice quarter, isn't it?

- Yes it is.

Cheers.

How long it's been since you

worked as a teacher?

Like... half a year.

It happened suddenly due to cutbacks.

My God, I don't know where we're going.

Education, which is

the cornerstone of a critical society...

Well, which politician is interested

in a critical society nowadays?

I'm telling you, no one.

I think the education degree

should be tougher.

It's a too responsible and risky job.

Too risky.

I myself haven't enjoyed an easy life,

you know?

I've been in jail.

I've lived for ten years with

murderers, pedophiles, rapists...

But I assure you that the only time

I've felt real terror was in class...

...facing a 12-year-old girl.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about,

because you know that girl too.

Her name is Barbara.

Don't do anything stupid.

I have a gun in my pocket.

Barbara has fully updated me.

You're going to do whatever I tell you,

just like that.

B*tch!

Very polite.

As I've told you,

I've been in prison once.

It was precisely for helping Barbara,

indeed.

A long time ago. That's another story.

Kipling?

When she told me what you'd done to her,

I thought of many things to do with you.

In every one of them you ended up dead

and me back in prison.

And I'm not fit for that anymore.

So then, I thought of something.

Look, I'm taking the gun out

of my pocket and put it on the table.

What I want you to do is

to take the gun and kill me.

Are we clear? I want you to kill me

in front of those two people.

If you warn the waiter, the police comes

and I step out alive through that door...

...I guarantee you and your family,

if you have it, will die sooner or later.

Ten years in prison are enough

to meet people...

...who wouldn't charge me that much

to do me this favor.

Barbara doesn't want

the rape to be known.

But that doesn't keep you from spending

a few years in prison for murder.

Rape?

I didn't rape that woman.

How dare you to deny it!

I don't understand anything.

You raped and ruined her, and

I'm going to ruin your life, that's all.

No, that's not true.

She slept with me because she wanted to.

- What are you saying?

- She slept with me because she wanted to.

- I blackmailed her, but I never hurt her.

- You blackmailed her?

We slept together and I recorded it.

I threatened her to show her husband

the record in order to ask her for money.

But I haven't raped her.

Did you record it?

How?

I recorded the sound on my cell phone.

It's all there.

- Does her husband know?

- No. At least not by me.

- Barbara slept with you!

- Yes.

Barbara cheated her husband

to sleep with you!

Yes.

Wait...!

Don't move!

Turn around.

Turn around!

Hello.

Luis, your father...

...your father has asked me...

...to bring him his cell phone

to the bar.

Is it that one?

Well, that's it.

Thanks.

Turn around.

Turn around, don't look at me.

Don't look at me!

Don't look at me!

Hello.

Hello.

Where's your husband?

He's gone home.

I've settled everything.

You're my guardian angel.

That man won't bother you again.

Or blackmail you.

Don't you give it to me?

I can't.

Why can't you?

Because I don't have it.
