The Man Who Copied Page #8

But if I had your money,

at your age...

I'd find myself something better,

much better.

I can't go to bed late.

New outfit, Andre?

- Your girlfriend?

- No, friend.

Good, then I can check her out.

Hot. She lives at the Santa

Cecilia, near your place, right?

I read that

you'd been arrested.

Yes, but I got out fast. When you

have friends, you have everything.

Like you.

You were my friend.

That's why I sold you that gun

so cheap. Six bills of $ 50.

- I really needed the gun.

- I know, I heard.

$ 2 million, very good.

They wouldn't let me go

because of my fingerprints.

But I was lucky I had an alibi.

What do you want?

What do I want?!

The money.

Why do you think

you're still alive?

- I'll give you the money!

- I know. Let's get it!

It isn't at my place.

Do you think I'm a sucker?

Yes. And a wimp!

The money is at a friend's.

I'll give it to you tomorrow.

Do you think I'm a sucker?

Do you think I'll run away?

You know where I live.

Where your friend lives.

Right.

I won't run away.

Tomorrow I'll give you the money.

On the stairs, at the bridge.

No, it's too busy.

On the other side.

It's a bag full of money.

What time?

I'll wait till 11:30. If you don't

show up, I'll go get you.

You, your mother and your friend.

Got it?

- I'll be there.

- I know you will.

You've always been a sucker.

A sucker and a wimp!

I KNOW IT ALL.

I WANT TO SEE YOU.

NOW.

CAN I COME OVER?

YES.

FLASH YOUR LIGHT 3 TIMES.

NO,

FLASH YOUR LIGHT 15 TIMES.

Did he tell you

or did you find out?

He told me.

What did he say?

That you were the robber.

That you had shot him in the leg.

And you?

I said nothing, Andre.

That's when I understood

your look in the restaurant.

- He told you he knew, didn't he?

- Yes, he did.

He'll keep after us, Andre.

It's no use running away.

I think we'd better

give him the money.

No!

He'll just spend it all.

He'll get arrested

and denounce you.

I'm not talking about the robbery

money, but the prize money.

I'd rather kill him.

But he's your father.

So what?

- So you can't kill your father.

- Why not?

Because he's your father,

he put you in this world.

Because without him

you wouldn't exist.

Gratitude?

Is that it?

Will I have

to be forever grateful...

to a guy who slept

with my mother 18 years ago?

He didn't want her to have me.

She didn't want me

to be his either.

My mother was crazy

about another guy.

A gorgeous guy.

She had a photo of him.

He was an artist.

He moved to Rio.

My mother thought I was his.

I think so too.

But he left.

She was engaged to Antunes.

She ended up marrying him.

My mother died

very young, Andre.

At 41.

She smoked a lot.

You can't imagine

what a scumbag Antunes is.

Can you believe he still spies

on me when I'm having a shower?

Yes.

Yes, I can kill him.

This money is yours, Andre.

Let's kill him

and run away to Rio?

Let's?

What do you do

besides drawing?

And copying money

and robbing banks?

Silvia...

I'm a photocopier operator.

I've always dreamt of marrying

a photocopier operator.

I'll marry you!

When, tomorrow?

No, the day after tomorrow.

Why not tomorrow?

I have to sort

something out tomorrow.

You're late.

I thought I was

being followed.

You've got it?

- Do you want to check it?

- Sure I do!

- It's all there, I have to go.

- Wait.

- No, I have to go.

- Wait!

What's this, Andre?

Wimp!

I may be a wimp.

But I'm not a sucker.

I said it was

dangerous toJump.

HeJumped because

he wanted to.

A sea lion,

weighing over half a ton...

was the attraction

at Casino beach.

Fishermen believe

it got lost in a current...

or caught in a fishing net.

Mom...

Mom, I'm going away.

- Where?

- To Holland. It's all paid for.

I'm going to be best man

at Marinez' wedding.

Her fianc sent us the tickets.

He's very rich.

When are you coming back?

Soon. It will be only

for a few days.

But I'm leaving you

the rent money.

- Do you have warm clothes?

- Yes, I do.

It's very cold in Holland.

I have clothes, mom.

Good night, son. I'm going to bed.

TV makes me so sleepy...

Mom?

Good night.

Good night, Andre.

- I couldn't find parking.

- Open your mouth.

- What?

- Do it!

Cardoso. This is Silvia.

I'm Cardoso, at your service.

- Do you smoke?

- No.

- Me neither.

- Congratulations.

Well, we... Cardoso?

We have a plan.

It's not very good, but...

Let's give her father

the money.

I mean, the robbery money.

I don't have half of it even.

And the police have

the numbers of these bills.

- He'll end up arrested.

- So what?

I mean, if we are not

going to be here...

If he's arrested,

he'll turn me in too.

We could give him

some of the prize money.

No way, Andre. He'll want more,

he'll want it all.

So what's the plan?

Silvia wrote a letter to Antunes

as if she were in Rio.

She asked a friend to send

the letter from Rio.

Cardoso will put the money

in a bag and get a chicken.

- What's the chicken for?

- Wait.

Marinez will keep Antunes in the

bar for as long as possible.

Cardoso and I will go

to Silvia's apartment.

- I'll prepare the bomb.

- Bomb?!

Are you going

to kill her father?

He's not my father.

Even so.

He's a scumbag.

I don't want to kill anyone!

Marinez, you only have

to keep him in the bar.

So you think

I could be a model?

OK. Go on.

- What's the chicken for?

- You'll see.

We'll meet in the car

and call the firemen.

A strong smell of gas...

- Then we take off to Rio.

- Give me the keys! I'll drive.

You have them.

No, I gave them to you

with the car documents.

Hello?

Hi, honey, how are you?

Who is it?

Have you already forgotten me?

We'vejust met at the bar.

Sure, sure.

I'm glad you called.

Tell me,

are you on a cordless phone?

No.

I don't have a cordless phone.

The connection isn't very good,

where are you then?

I'm in the living room, at home.

Oh, in the living room, great!

I..., just a minute, OK?

- What happened?

- There's some people here.

Oh. OK, then. Bye.

Hello?

What's going on?

My jacket.

I haven't introduced you.

This is Cardoso.

- Hi, I'm Cardoso, at your service.

- What do you want?

- My jacket.

- What?

Wejust forgot thejacket...

and a beer.

And the fridge plugged in!

Plugged in?

You know, it's a problem

with the fridge.

- What problem?

- In the motor!

Cardoso came here to unplug it.

Carefully.

- Cardoso?

- Yes. Carefully.

You should unplug it

because it's leaking gas.

So we came here to get thejacket,

the beer and to unplug the fridge.

What the hell you're...

You should actually

call someone to take a look at it.

- Let's go?

- Let's.

- Bye, Mr. Antunes.

- Wait, young man!

When will you

sort out our problem?

Tomorrow, for sure.

Let's go, Silvia.

You don't need to wait for me.

And now, how will you explain the

food inside the washing machine?

And the chicken?

How will you explain the chicken?

I won't explain anything.

I plugged the fridge back in.

Let's go?

Besides a chicken,
