Night Train to Lisbon Page #4

as a cover for the resistance.

They never

came and searched.

People would drop off

envelopes of money, and...

names, addresses, maps.

And then she would come.

Next.

Why have you not call me?

I left messages.

I have something for Joo.

I have to talk to you.

I cannot go on with Jorge.

Leave us.

Adriana, leave us.

Then one night,

it-- it all ended.

How?

Something had happened...

I do not know what, except that

was the last time I ever saw her.

- There are patients waiting for you.

- Send them away.

We do not send patients away?!

Do it now.

If someone comes to the door.

Do not answer it.

Switch off the lights.

We are not here.

Joo Ea is at the door.

I'll be back.

Amadeu!

Come. Come in.

Where is she?

Estefnia?

I don't know.

She went one way, I went another.

Jorge came to me;

the problem is Estefnia.

What do you mean?

He wants...

he wants to eliminate her.

What?

He said if they get to her,

they'll get the names.

It will be the end of it.

Jorge wants to kill Estefnia?

If she or Jorge come here,

call me.

- You understand?

- I understand.

Okay.

What a mess.

What are you going to do?

Pack a bag and some food;

I am taking the car.

- To where?

- Away from here.

- With her?

- Of course with her.

No, please no,

Amadeu!

I beg you,

don't do this thing!

Tell them she's here.

Don't go away with her.

I beg you!

Please, don't go!

Do as I say.

Don't do this thing,

it's wrong!

Something terrible will happen,

I know it will!

He stepped over me.

I'll never forget that.

He stepped over me...

like I was... nothing.

Could I have a coffee, please?

Mr. Kagi, its me.

I am sorry

I missed your call yesterday.

Don't tell me

you are still in Lisbon?

- Yes, I am.

- Where are you staying?

Hotel Silva.

You wouldn't have heard...

Is it raining in Bern?

I can't keep teaching your class,

you have to come back.

You don't come back, I am going

to have to get replacement for you.

You want me to do this?

- Perhaps...

- I need a "yes" or "no", Raimund.

Mr. Kagi, I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Why are you following me?

Where does this come from?

His sister, Adriana,

came across his notes.

She put them together in a book.

I came across that in Bern, Switzerland.

I want to know what

happened to Estefnia.

- Why?

- Amadeu is dead...

Adriana does not know.

You are the only one who does.

Get the hell out of here!

Get out!

Why has my uncle

started smoking again?

What?

The doctor from

the nursing home called me

and told me a stranger visited him

and brought him some cigarettes.

- But he asked me to bring him...

- Are you trying to kill him?

He already has emphysema!

[a chronic lung disease]

Yeah, but he enjoys smoking.

Why deny him that pleasure?

Because it's bad for him.

So is in that nursing home.

Reminds him of being in prison.

- How are your new glasses?

- I'm getting used to them.

Would you have dinner with me?

I thought you never ask.

If-- if-- if Jesus had been

put to death with a guillotine

we all be praying before a big shiny blade.

Or-- or if He've been electrocuted

we will be genuflecting in front of a chair.

But can you really do that?

Nobody dislike to be another person

without being the other person.

You can "imagine" what it's like

to be that other person.

"Imagination is our last sanctuary."

That's one of his lines.

There he also said,

"Intimacy is our last sanctuary."

You remember the lines verbatim.

Uh that's figure they--

they mean something to me.

Poor Estefnia, she--

she remembered everything,

even trivial things --

numbers, names,

phone numbers, addresses...

To have a memory like that

must drive me mad.

Sorry, I am going on.

I haven't talked

as much as this for years.

No, no.

I'm fascinated...

May I ask you

how long you have been on you own?

Five and a half years.

But before that,

you spoke to you wife?

Yes...

but it...

usually landed me in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Well, we threw a party to our colleagues...

well... our friends.

And she found this quote from

Pessoa [Fernando Pessoa, a Portuguese poet]:

"Fields are greener in their description

than their actual greenness."

And somebody said,

"Ow that's a beautiful sentence."

I said, "Yes, but, only a very few

people would ever understand it."

And there was-- terrible silence,

and then she said, my wife...

She said, "And I suppose you

are one of the chosen few?"

So, that was the end of that party.

But you were right.

Yes, but-- it-- was arrogance of me.

Stupid marriage.

And is that why she left you,

because of your arrogance?

No. I think she left me because

she found me...

boring.

We are still in touch.

She called the other day,

she wanted me to move

my books out of the garage,

because her new boyfriend

wanted somewhere to park his car.

Don't know why I am

telling you all of these.

- Would you like to dance?

- No, I can't. I can't dance.

You see?

Boring.

Thank you.

I enjoyed that.

Raimund, you are not boring.

My uncle would like

to see you again.

Would you

take him some cigarettes?

- Jorge is still alive.

- You went see him?

Still running the same pharmacy.

Smoking cigarette

while he serves his customers.

- You brought some?

- Yes I did.

Estefnia was in the house

when I was there?

She found them together

in his study.

No wonder he lied to me...

because you know, he never lied.

He could not tolerate dishonesty.

What had happened

earlier that night?

Jorge's place become too small,

and so we hired a room in an

old warehouse for our meetings.

We pretended it was a literacy class.

Estefnia's idea.

We were so naive...

Nuno,

Beleza the railways.

The numbers you will call are:

Lisbon, 642-3518,

contact name, Leonardo;

Port, 235-5900,

contact name, Julius.

The signal to take over will

come from Radio Renaissance now.

It will be the song

that was banned. The song by...

- Excuse me. Are you lost?

- Is this the literacy class?

Yes, we were just finishing.

Please take a seat.

Most letters have more than

one pronunciation except

the letter "X",

and we'll explain that

in more detail next week.

Thank you all.

What is a professor

of music doing here?

I met someone who cannot read

I wanted to see for myself

what kind of course it was,

before recommending it.

What is this person's name?

Um-- ur--

Caspian.

How original...

Seat down, all of you!

Nobody leaves this room!

Out. Out!

Give me your gun.

What for?

We have to do

what is right for the resistance.

- What happened to the others?

- Estefnia and Amadeu they got away. But...

they gonna find her

and then she will talk.

The others they don't know much.

But Estefnia, she knows everything.

What are you talking about?

You want to kill Estefnia?

No.

No, no.

I don't want to,

but I have to.

One life for many lifes.

Give it to me.

Joo, give it to me.

I never find out

what really happened.

Did he tell you?

No. When I asked him,

he tell me to-- get lost.
