The Lost City Page #4
Luis Fellove, alias Peligro.
Not angel,
not the Virgin Mary
Peligro!
l swear,
l did not kill your brother.
Your brother attacked
the Presidential Palace
with the intent to kill
my President.
He committed suicide.
Believe me, you do not want
to disappoint me.
Trust me on this.
l can see
all you have is thirst for revenge.
Ah, I see.
You know what a zugzwang is?
lt's a chess move.
Mm-hmm.
lt is a chess move
that is no move at all.
lt is actually a position
the position in which each player
if it were his time to move
than if it were not.
Do you follow?
A double-bind.
A reciprocal situation.
All you have to do
is act accordingly.
which means...
Do not act at all.
Go.
Ho ho ho!
Hey, hey!
Bravissimo, Fellove!
Bravissimo!
A showman to the end!
one more audition.
So just about any
clothes fit you, huh?
She's very lonely.
she won't go out at all.
Not even with her friends.
The memory of your brother,
and the fact that she
has not been able
to have a family of her own...
l hate to see her so sad.
lt breaks my heart.
why don't you ask her out?
She would like that.
lt would do her good.
She needs you, and you need her.
Fico, talk to me.
Please.
You know the last thing
Luis said to me before he died?
what?
He made me promise...
that if anything everhappened to
him,
l would take care of you.
You've grown up in Havana all your
life,
and I bet there's parts of the
city you don't know at all.
I'm sure you know them well.
You know...
Havana's very much like a rose.
lt has petals, and it has thorns.
So it depends on how you grab it.
But in the end,
why don't you come out
with me tomorrow?
lt'll do you good.
You ever see Beny Mor? live?
Mmm.
Ah!
Have you been to
the Tropical BeerGardens?
Ah!
lt's good to see you smile.
Thank you.
why are their handkerchiefs?
The handkerchiefs
are so there's no evidence.
of what?
of the intimacy they're sharing.
Beny! Beny!
Beny! Beny! Beny!
Beny! Beny! Beny!
Beny! Beny!
where is he?
He's always late.
Beny! Beny! Beny!
Beny! Beny! Beny!
Beny! Beny!
He likes to make an entrance.
There he is.
How many more are in the barracks?
Come on. Come on.
How many more are in the barracks?
Fellove!
Let's move. Don't waste
any time with that.
Let's move.
You seem troubled, Fellove.
ls it about the captain we shot?
Listen to me very carefully.
ln an insurrection,
the end justifies the means.
what is an insurrection?
Huh?
Armed struggle.
what is the end?
Revolution.
which entails social, economic,
and political transformations.
Like I said??
the end justifies the means.
Hmm?
This is Havana.
who said a woman
is like a flower?
A poet with a sense of smell.
May I join you?
Yes.
what was your name again?
My name again is no name.
what do you mean?
l don't mean nothing!
Names don't mean, people do.
But you are people, aren't you?
That...nobody can deny.
So what's your name, then?
l have no name.
l already told you that.
Everybody has a name.
Mm-hmm.
Everybody but me.
why not?
l don't know.
Ask him.
Leave me out of your puns.
You're the strangest man
l evermet.
Thank you.
Thank you.
okay, Emilio.
Your money's no good here.
Thank you, Emilio.
I'll see you at the club.
when I grow up,
l wanna be just like him.
why?
Because...
he neverpays.
we interrupt
this program with a special news report.
The University of Havana was
closed by the government today,
as a direct result
of the ongoing riots.
President Fulgencio Batista,
who is underintense pressure
to resign,
declared publicly today
that the government
will not tolerate the disgracing
of the sacred grounds
of the university's Plaza Cadena,
which he claims the professional
agitators were using
fortheir selfish acts of anarchy.
She wants to talk to you.
lt's okay.
what did she say?
Time is not on our side.
Fico! Fico!
Braulio.
Hey!
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
How are you?
Same to you, my friend.
This is Aurora.
This is Captain Castel
and his lovely wife Marie Cristina.
How are you?
The pleasure's mine.
Ah.
You know, this is our year, Fico.
l just got promoted.
Congratulations.
Thanks again.
well...it wasn't
because he's your brother.
lt's because you're
still my favorite pitcher.
well, you won't regret it.
well, I hope not.
lf you're wrong,
not even your curveball's
gonna save you.
Let's dance.
okay.
Bye-bye.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Senoras y senores,

and all overthe world!

Engines running.

A new year, a new life,
or so they say.
l certainly hope so.
Ladies and gentlemen,
l give you the President of Cuba.
Comrades in arms, friends.
Happy New Year's!
Salud!
why are you so unhappy?
I'm not unhappy. I'm just sad.
Don't be.
lt's in my nature.
Hey.
Beauty's your nature.
Sad can be beautiful.
Sad, yes, but not sadness.
whoa, whoa. Please.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have an urgent announcement.
Batista, President Batista,
has left the country.
He's gone forever.

Forthe love we share,

He said he was okay.
what do you think?
You really love me.
Like I said.
Say it to me.
Say it again.
Like I said?

watch them closely.
l would be the only
person in Havana
man enough to turn
my back on him.
Hey, come on.
A peeping Tom in reverse.
when all the others are
watching the bearded Godiva,
l will avert my eyes.
Everyone is alike in jubilation.
only suffering makes them different.
I'm need to see your cells.
Cells? what cells?
l have a friend in the cells.
Attention!
when a superior officer
approaches you,
you stand at attention.
ls that understood?
Yes, comrade.
At ease.
l need to talk to you.
what's the matter with you?
You've been here all this time,
and you haven't
come see your family?
what do you need?
what do I need?
what?
l can't touch you?
Castel is in here.
He's in a cell. I need to see him.
There are no cells, Fico.
There's only the cage.
Take me to him.
Take me to him.
Don't f*** around.
Take me to see him right now.
As you wish.
Brauilo!
Brauilo!
Hmm?
Braulio.
Come here. Come here.
