Red Disco

Stop making a racket, will you?

You cut that out too and drink some nice strong coffee,

it'd clear your mind, you still have more than 600 km until Madrid

Are you afraid?

I asked if you're afraid

No

You should never be afraid, he was and that's why he died

- We agreed not to talk about that - Why not?

He knew the rules of the game

He knew he could lose, the same could have happened on the circuit

I'm sorry I can't stay with you until you leave, they're expecting me

Your future mother in law didn't invite you to that little party?

- She doesn't even know I exist yet - Goodbye

If you need anything ask the butler, make yourselves at home

Goodbye Luis

- Don't go to fast - Don't worry, I never go above 180

- You're staying, right? - Yes, you know I have to race

- Goodbye - Have a nice trip

- We'll see each other in Madrid - Goodbye

I'll be right back, I'm going to get dressed

- Don't worry - Goodbye Olga

Goodbye, see you soon

Frank, you seem sad. Are you married and getting a divorce

or are you divorced and getting married again? You're very lonely

It's not easy to find a woman as enchanting as you

What day is it?

- Today is Friday - I know, it's not that. 5, 6, 7-

Mother. Please, take me with you

But daughter, what about school?

Well, we can come find you in a month,

- isn't that right Joe? - Yes, of course, whatever you say

But Mother, in a month I'll be in Madrid

In Madrid? Of course, how silly of me

Alright, I'll talk to Olga

Olga

I'll leave her in your hands. I'm so busy,

I don't know with what, but I am

I understand as always, but you'll have to tell me what it's about

Oh, that's right, I haven't told you. It's about Monica

- Don't worry, she'll stay with me - Thank you, I knew it

A stupendous boat, it's like a gazelle. How many tons is it?

- 3 or 4 hundred, something like that - Oh Mother

35 girl, 35

A recently christened boat has something mysterious about it, it's like a birth

It's yours daughter, it's your graduating gift

Oh Mother

My girl

- I really can't go with you? - No, another time

Yes? Yes, it's me

Tell him I'm coming

I need a report only you can make, a bloodthirsty one,

hard, merciless, one that takes no pity on anyone

I need some rest, I've just returned from Vietnam

Look at this. The autopsy shows that he had taken drugs

So what?

Listen Ricardo,

they at least had money to buy those drugs

and I've seen thousands die of hunger

What does this matter?

That boy was my son

- Here are the keys - Very good

- Have a good stay - Thank you

- Goodbye Mr. Lima - Goodbye

- Hello sir - Hello

Take the car to the garage

and leave the keys at the reception desk for Mr. Lima

Right away sir

Mr. Lima? When you're ready

We all regret Mr. Canales' accident.

This way

We always reserved this room for him,

he would tend to stay a week or two

depending on how long he was training

His father requested nothing be touched until you arrived

To our radio audience,

after the exciting prototype race and placing the laurels on the victor

we're in touch with our mobile teams

to keep you up to date with the events in this unique competition

that will have it's finale here in this venue

At this moment we've been informed that the accidents involving cars 1 and 14

have not resulted in injuries for the drivers, a stroke of luck

This test is what will open the doors to future ace drivers because here

the heart, calmness, drive, ambition and bravery of a champion are necessary

We can hear the roar of the engines!

We're going to narrate the final moments of this

death struggle for victory! Just now the cars have come in sight!

We see that against all our predictions

the favorite to win the race is in fourth place

An amazing comeback! He's in second place!

A magnificent lad gentlemen!

Though he didn't win he placed second just cenimeters behind the victor!

An extraordinary finish gentlemen!

So many people come through here I don't even notice their faces

Are you starting to remember?

- These are the ones from the accident - And these?

These... these are the Spaniards, they were always together

They call them that because they're from Madrid

- Do they still come around here? - They got scared and went back to Spain,

all of them except Jorge, he had to race

Where can I find him?

You just have to turn your head

Alright, drinks are on me, we're drinking what I say,

two bottles of port

Hey champ, will you offer me a drink?

I mean, in the end I did let you win

This is a great kid, but you're worthless, you're just a suck up

Don't get upset, he's just bitter

Here I come!

See how I put the pedal to the metal?

Did you see? More than 300 feet in the lead and not one mistake

Waiter!

I saw you race this afternoon, you're a great driver

Really? I think so too

- I came to Bilboa just to see you - Oh, your Spanish?

- I've raced in the Jarape many times - I know. A drink?

- Two double shots of whiskey - No thanks, I don't want to mix drinks,

I might get drunk

My rival has won the great prize and I must toast him with port

For this afternoon's great victor, for the best of all drivers

That's me, naturally

You had a good finish in the race, you deserved to have won

Yes, but I'm sick of winning

We have to leave something for the rest, right?

If Rafael Canales hadn't died

would he have become as good a driver as you?

- You knew him? - A bit

This year he was driving badly, he seemed different

His reflexes were slow and he was afraid

- Of what? - Well...

let's talk about something else

He admired you very much, imitated everything you did

If he imitated everything I did

- He wouldn't have crashed - When the accident happened,

you were there, weren't you?

I told you I don't want to talk about it

Leave me alone! Don't you understand?

Leave! Leave!

Flight 701 heading to Madrid, we ask all passengers to board

Door three, last call

It was in this airplane where two Portugese airmen,

Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho,

in 1922 completed the first transatlantic flight,

from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro

Tired from your trip?

What should I call you,

Sandor Carreza Lambarto or Sergio Meleter?

- I see you're very will informed - When we choose a partner

- we try to learn everything about him - Everything?

Sadly there's always a small margin for surprise

For our own good I hope it won't occur this time

Mr. Meleter, it's our intention to put under your direction

the entire Mediterranean coast not excluding Madrid of course

- And the merchandise? - That's our job,

yours is distribution and acquiring new clients

You'll be overseeing more than 50 locations, nightclubs, discotheques,

gambling houses, and you know, 30 percent. Any questions?

- No - That's good

Your return ticket to Madrid, your plane leaves in half an hour

You made me come for this? I thought I was finally going to meet-

No,

it's too soon for you to meet anyone, for now just obey

I'll get you whatever you want, the night is young

How original You're inspired

- What do you want? - A gin and soda

- And you? - A martini

Get me another cognac and put it on my tab

- Shall we dance? - No, later

Have you seen Jorge? Do you know when he'll be here?

Yes, I was at the races and he said he'd be here in a few days

Coming in second, what a blow to his pride,

he must be furios. Come on, let's dance

Where did you go? Stay a while and have a drink with us

I'm sorry, I know it's rude but I'm in a huge rush,

I'm heading to a party

Wow, a classic

I thought there were no more like this. Why don't you introduce me?

Forgive me Miss, but sadly I'm alone

Alone? Well now you aren't, my name is Evita

Enrique

Luis, Luis Robles from Avellaneda

and these three dolls are Olga, Helen and Monica

- Luis - Excuse me a moment

Would you allow me to invite you for a drink?

Sergio was asking about you

Tell him I'll come around there one of these nights

Why not now? He's here.

He wouldn't like you leaving without seeing him

Good evening Mr. Robles, it's been a long time

Yes, I've been in Lisbon, I've just returned

I'm happy, I thought you'd forgotten.

We're having a party in two days, understand?

I'm expecting you and your friends. Don't forget to bring Ms. Monica

Very well Mr. Meleter

- Who's that man with you? - I don't know, I just met him

Alright Mr. Robles, until the day after tomorrow

Someone once said that men are like wine,

they get better as they age, isn't that so?

Didn't you say you were in a hurry?

I did, but the truth is I don't feel like going anymore,

- besides, leaving now would just be rude - Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

Dear friends, in two days we're all invited to a party at Sergio's,

- you too of course. Is it a date? - Of course

I'll pick you up in the afternoon. Excuse us, we're going to dance

You don't dance?

Not like that

Give me one Quinis

Johann Sebastian Bach,

one of the few interesting things left in life

Give me a smoke please Quinis, I need it!

Once again I contemplate

how an example of homo sapien destroys himself

I'll have to give away my lighter,

I haven't used it since I've met you

Is that your father?

Yes, give me some chips

Your father deserves all of my respect

Excuse me, I'm a little tired

I thought you didn't dance

Like this I do

I thought you just came to play

The game has started, don't you think?

- Excuse me - Perhaps

Olga, I'm looking for Luis, have you seen him?

Come, I'll take you to him. A moment

- Two - One

Another two for me

Luis

- Wait a moment, will you? - I don't feel like staying here,

will you take me home?

I told you to wait, will you or not?

- I'm betting the rest - I call

- Full house - Full house

- Ten high - Jack high

Do you have another check from your father?

No, if you could make me a loan...

I'm sorry, you know the rules

Does one of you want to take Mr. Robles' spot?

Excuse me

You really don't want me to accompany you?

There's no need. Olga, what sort of party is that?

Like any other, but you're doing well in leaving

Why are you staying?

The man who's passing through interests me

10,000

- Pass - Pass

10,000

and 20 more

- Pass - I'll see your 20

and add 30 more

The rest

I call

Two Jacks

Two Queens

I congratulate you, you're a great player.

I hope one day you'll give me a rematch

Very well, whenever you want as far as I'm concerned

To your health

Not here baby, go on, come with me

You'll be much better off up there with me, you'll see

Have you lost a lot?

- I always lose - Can I help you?

No

Why would you do it?

Rafael Canales was full of heroin when he killed himself

Tell me, who gave it to him?

How should I know, it could have been anyone, it's so easy at first

Don't you remember anyone? Give me a name

What are you, a cop?

I know you're in a jam and I can help you,

but only in exchange for something

Attention!

Attention, the auction is about to begin

Listen well, we'll start off with me auctioning myself, sound good?

- Come on, I'm waiting! - A thousand pesetas

Get out of here!

- 10,000 - Ugly!

I'll give 160,000

No higher bidders?

Going once, going twice, sold

You wanted me that badly?

Continue the auction!

Where are we going? Where are you taking me, the bedroom?

- You want to? - No

Would you mind coming along? I'm going to drop her off at her house

I'd be delighted

The disastrous effects a third world war would produce

have no comparison to the effects that little by little

step by step,are being produced by drugs in humanity

Come in

Can I talk to you for a minute Mr. Meleter?

Why not? Is there a problem?

As you know,

I lost a lot of money the other night gambling and...

Yes yes, that's always a risk when you play

The worst of it are my father's checks,

I was supposed to put those in the business account

to pay the wages on Saturday

So Mr. Robles, you spent 2000 workers' salaries, that's not right,

not right at all

I can give it back to you, I promise

- Can you give me some guarantee? - Well...

- sincerely no, but I can- - Enough

You see Mr. Robles, there's an infinite amount of people that depend on us,

farmers, harvesters, chemists, smugglers, distributors

The prices skyrocket, commissions, percentages, bribes,

- we need clients that can pay well - I've always brought people to the club

Of course, I understand that your girlfriend... what's her name?

- Monica - That's it, Monica,

has inherited half of her father's fortune

Foundries, railways, shipping companies, monopolies

I'll never do it, you hear?

Never!

- Stop thinking about it - Us?

You're the one that has to think about it Mr. Robles,

the difficulties are yours

and with your girlfriend it'd all be so simple

You can take it

That's a deposit

He'll be back, they all come back.

They're like animals with no will

Monica

What's this? You came to class on the last day?

Are you still upset with me?

No, not anymore

I had drank too much, I was losing,

that's why I didn't see you home

Forget it

Monica, I...

wanted to tell you

Hey lovebirds!

Luis, Monica, hello

What are you doing here?

I came for Helen, we're heading to Lisbon for Carnival,

hadn't Monica told you?

- He hadn't given me a chance - Will we meet there tonight?

- We'll call Olga, what do you say? - Why don't we eat at home?

Afterwards we'll go out if we feel like it.

I still haven't packed my bags

- No, I won't go - Why not?

Just because. I'm tired, tired of everything

Help me please, we're friends

You're mistaken, I despise you too much

I have no friends

I don't want to do it Quinis, I don't want to give you Monica.

You can't make me

Make you? Who's making you?

You yourself have volunteered to be her executioner

for two stinking checks

- No, I won't do it - You'll do it

You'll be horrified and disgusted, but you'll do it,

- just like the other times - She's different from the rest

But you're the same as always, just as despicable

It's too late to have scruples

- Is there no solution? - Of course there is,

if you were a little... elegant,

just a bit, you'd die

Take a large dose and kill yourself

You'd be doing yourself a big favor, you're a pig

And you a madman

I'm not even that

We're not anything, we're trash

and the sun will keep rising,

the flowers will keep blooming in all their colors,

Bach's music will keep playing

Sooner or later

we'll destroy even that

- Father, may I come in? - Hello Luis, come in,

- we haven't seen each other for ages - I have to talk to you

Now? I'm in a hurry, can't we leave it until tomorrow?

- It's always tomorrow with you - I promise, tomorrow I'll come back early

Give me one of those cigarettes

Come on, give it to me

How much do you pay for this?

Always too much

It tastes like crap.

This is very serious boy, we have to take it that way

I know

And if they suspect, will you be able to?

First I ask for my father's checks,

then I show him the money

but I don't give it to him until I get them

Go on

A lender let me borrow the money to get them back, so-

- Do you want a drink? - Not right now, thanks

If he asks about Monica?

I'll say I've been with her,

that I'll take her to the club every night like he wants

Bravo lad

And if he doesn't give back the checks?

Then I'll enter the game.

Here, and good luck

Thank you

Remember Luis, as soon as you learn anything call me

Agreed

Hey!

Your pack

Are you sure you won't be needing it?

Sure

A dangerous boom, drugs a gogo

The nightclubs, university, the trafickers' workplaces

We must realize that-

Where have you gotten so much money?

The point is that it's here, now give me back the checks

And if I didn't want to, what would happen?

You aren't thinking of betraying me, are you?

Would you be able to go to the police?

Answer

That's what I'd do if I had to

Why don't you just give me those checks?

Of course, why not?

I suppose we'll still be friends

Have you thought about

what we talked about regarding your girlfriend?

Yes, I've thought about it

I'll bring her every night,

I promise

I'll do what you want

Perfect

You see, a friend of mine had a doberman,

he was enormous and bared his fangs all the time

but my friend was relaxed because those dogs should be like that

But one day that beast became a lamb,

he wagged his tail and licked everyone's hands

My friend was surprised, but he didn't foresee the danger,

because the doberman was rabid

and one day when they were playing in the garden

the dog ripped out his throat

and my poor friend died

Please!

Give me a hit, I need it!

Give me a hit!

What's wrong? Aren't you feeling well?

Yes, I see you need it. Quinis will give it to you

You hear me? Go find him,

tell him we're friends, that I sent you

A Dangerous Boom Drugs a Gogo

Quinis?

And I'll be other needs, deep and strong,

redder than death, more insistent

- Why are you stopping? - We've arrived, end of the road

- Where are we going? - There are many theories

but no one knows

If you discover anything interesting

let me know

If you could just see how beautiful death is

You were never so handsome, little brother

- Father, may I come in? - Hello Luis, come in,

- we haven't seen each other for ages - I have to talk to you

Now? I'm in a hurry, can't we leave it until tomorrow?

For you it's always tomorrow For you it's always, tomorrow

- Where's Meleter? - I don't know, I swear!

- You're going to tell me! - Alright, I'll tell you!

Talk! Talk!

That's enough, let's go

Come in, the door's open

- How are you Enrique? - Hello

I'm starting to recognize you again

I'm glad to see you like this, you're ready for another

Well, I mean you're nearly as good as new

Ricardo, get us a drink

The World of Drugs by Johnny McKenzie, I know it

Yes, as a document it's alright

Sit down Commissioner

So what, have you changed your mind

or do you still refuse to help us?

I regret to say it

but we still haven't found the men who gave you the beating

That's normal, it's only been 20 days

You're quite incisive Mr. Lima.

Perhaps we're not as brilliant as you are,

but we are tenacious

Thank you

So we're just where we were,

you don't know anything, you didn't see anything

and you don't remember anything

There are things I prefer doing on my own

I brought some photos but I don't think they'd interest you anymore,

in any case I'll leave them with you

It's madness, the best report in the world isn't worth a life

It wasn't a coincidence that they beat you

and I feel a bit responsible

Listen, you've made this case a personal affair,

that's not what I asked for

You're right. I'll continue on my own

Enrique, I was the one that go you into this,

now I ask you to let it go

I'm sorry

If you want something from me in Lisbon I'll be at the same hotel

You're more stubborn than a mule!

When do you plan to leave for Lisbon?

I don't know

Hopefully you'll be able to spend it

Please don't say "Be careful" now

Excuse me Mr. Lima. Thank you.

Forgive my curiosity, why to Lisbon?

A professional secret

Did you speak to your mother Monica?

She wrote me a telegram, she sent money

Wow, 5000 dollars! Your mother may not kiss you,

but when it comes to money...

Get dressed, I'll take a shower in the meantime

and then we'll go out for dinner

Hey Monica, know what I'm thinking?

That your mother doesn't want to be seen with you

because it'd make her seem old

Good evening Mr. Lima

I'm Inspector Pratas and I'm here to speak to you for a few minutes

- Did the Madrid Interpol send you? - I just want to warn you

About what?

We don't want complications or interference

or settling of scores in Lisbon

Mr. Pratas, I write for my living,

I came to Lisbon to continue a report, nothing more

If the drug case matters more to you than the satisfaction of revenge,

- work with us - How?

You're looking for a man who you aren't even sure is in Lisbon,

we'll make it so he's the one looking for you

So what you're proposing is using me as bait?

Exactly

A pretty view

But before you accept,

you must realize Mr. Lima, this business is very dangerous

and besides, for the plan to be effective,

you'll have to act without our help,

completely alone, not forgetting

that those people don't give more than one warning.

Consider the danger well

What do I have to do?

At the moment, show yourself

- Mr. Lima - Yes?

A telegram for you

Be careful - Ricardo

- Enrique, what a surprise! - Hello Erica

What brings you around here?

- Mercy - I know you, a classic,

you're up to no good

- What do you want to drink? - Whatever you're having

Another double whiskey for the lady

- How's it going? - The flames burned so cold,

on my lips there was nothing but the taste of ash

- Shall we sit? - If you want

Oh Enrique

Do you like it? This is my apartment

I'm going to change, I won't be long, there's drinks over there

Do you remember Meleter?

Have you seen him here in Lisbon?

Who are you talking about, the Hungarian?

No, I haven't seen him around here

Put me through to the bar

Robert, it's Erica. Yes, yes, but it has to be right now

Yes, I'll bring the money, like always

Agreed

But I'm going to go with a friend, have him wait for me, please

Could I take a puff on your cigarette?

Want to go for a ride?

I know a bar, the owners are friends of mine. Come on

But... like that?

Oh, how silly of me. Make me a drink, a strong one

Erica

Tell him to leave, I don't want to see him!

I don't want to!

Heroin, she has two or three years of life left, it's unforgiving

Can something be done?

The same routine,

hospital, detox, release,

returning to drugs and back to the hospital

It takes us longer every time to detoxify them

and it takes them less to return

It always turns out the same way, the end doesn't vary either,

two or three years and then death

Only one bright spot, they start desiring it so they can be free

It's terrible. Do you want something to drink?

No... well, I'll have some port, thanks

- Is she a relative of yours? - No, just a friend

- Enrique, what a pleasant surprise! - Hello Monica, how are you?

I didn't know you were here

So what brings the famous journalist to Lisbon?

The same thing as always, work

Go on in and wait a moment please, I'm going to get dressed

I'll be right back, you can get yourself something to drink,

I won't be long

Well, here I am

You've changed a lot, you're very lovely

And I wasn't before?

I suppose so, but different

Maybe you didn't pay attention before

Of course not, I was Luis' friend and you were his girlfriend

You too? We were never a couple,

we were just friends like the whole group was

Did you know they killed him for defending you?

No, it's not true,

he was incapable of defending himself, he was weak,

- he didn't know how to live - And now you're learning

I went out with him because I pitied him... pitied

And to think that for this a poor lad got himself killed

Forgive me

Forget it, I just came by to see

if, by any chance you had seen Meleter

No, I haven't seen him

Boys, do you like the Carnival?

Frank, I want to introduce you to my guest tonight, Enrique Lima

It's not necessary, I already know him.

I'm a great admirer of your writing

- You're very kind - Consider yourself at home

Thank you

When I saw you for the first time

I had a premonition, I thought

"I could be with this man just one night,

a year, or an entire lifetime,

but I'd like to get to know him better"

We should start with the first night, after that, you never know

That's true, you never know. Will you be here long?

To be honest, I don't know, I'm passing through

Whatever will be will be

To what may happen

May I know where you're taking me?

You heard him, he asked where he's going

Don't worry, you'll know soon enough

Meleter sent you, right? Where is he?

I won't say anything

Talk

My head, it's going to burst

- You haven't slept either - No

- Have you spoken with Jorge? - Yes

What did he say?

You know your own business,

if you're going to have a child that's your problem

I never thought Jorge would react that way

Yes? It's Jorge

I don't want to speak with him, hang up

Hang up, I told you to hang up!

I'll speak with him

Mr. Meleter, are you aware you're making many mistakes?

Things have become a bit complicated because of that journalist

Yes, the journalist, a troublesome type

you've unfortunately allowed to find us

I'm taking care of him, I expect to have news soon

You acted in Madrid without our consent too,

you're dead weight to the Organization now

and dead weight, well, you know,

sooner or later it's dropped

No

You lack a sense of humor Mr. Meleter,

you seem very nervous

Several months ago at the airport

you complained that you didn't know your boss,

- very well, the time has come - What are you trying to say?

He wants to speak personally with you, to give you new instructions

You must go to this address tomorrow

He'll be waiting, be punctual

Manuel

Manuel?

And now you'll tell me who your boss is

I don't know, I only-

Try to remember, make a little effort

I don't know

- Enough - Who is it?

I only know his address, Bari�as, chalet 22

Connect me With Inspector Pratas please

Go on Enrique, come in

- Surprised? - Not much

And you, don't you find it strange to see me here?

Not much, I expected you

I've been sitting here for days

expecting you to come in at any moment

You see? I've finally come in

Yes, and like always you're just passing through

That's so

What would you like to drink, whiskey?

Yes, whatever you like

Even if you win this time,

why have you mixed yourself up in this?

- It's my profession - A shame, isn't it?

And you? Why did you get into this?

I could make up a story,

but the truth is simpler and more complicated at the same time

It's fun, I like luxury

How much time do we have?

Not much, a few hours

Not a month, or an entire lifetime,

just one night

Yes

Yes? Yes, just a moment please

It's for you

- For me? Who is it? - A woman

- Hello? - Enrique? It's Monica, can you hear me?

I have to talk to you immediately.

Yes, it's very important

No, it's better someplace where we're not seen

In St. Jorge's castle in an hour

It was Monica

She wants to see me in St. Jorge's castle

- Don't go, it's a trap - I know

Have you ever thought of quitting this?

It may not be too late

It's too late

Everyone leaves it sooner or later,

but always in a coffin

Please don't go

Wait

Do it for me, I beg you

Goodbye

Don't think of doing anything stupid

Watch out Enrique!

- Mr. Sabatelo? - Yes?

- There's a young lady asking to see you - Thank you

Excuse me gentlemen

Things have gotten difficult Frank, Sandro has died

The police will get to the bottom of it,

I think the wisest thing would be to leave

Yes, perhaps,

at least for a bit

Tell the airport to get my plane ready,

I'm winning and it wouldn't be a good time to leave the game
