All language subtitles for The Galindez File

Come on, heads up.

There's a lot you can
learn from a defeat.

Heads up.

This way, I discovered something in Spain,
during the civil war.

Their Coffee with liquor,
is the best on Earth.

The Yankees will support any dictator
that calls himself an anti-communist

Franco, Trujillo...

We've been naive.
Washington never wanted to help us.

They never wanted to free the Basques
or put Franco under pressure

He himself is already in the UN

Don't be so pessimistic.
I know you, you don�t quit this fast.

I'll receive 50.000 $Dollar if I
don't publish the book about Trujillo.

Almoina did me an offer.
My dear friend, Imagine...

For that he's on the run for
twenty years already.

Aren't you tired of being on the run?
I Mean, 50.000 $Dollar

It's clear as crystal,
that Trujillo is afraid of you.

Can I give you an advice,
from a friend, to another?

Be careful. All the Dominicans here,
are people of Trujillo.

It�s freezing here.

Valle de Amurrio - Country of Basques, 1988

C'mon, we're leaving.

This is where Galindez Lived and Died.
Did you read his books?

Read them?
She can remember them by head.

Why does an American know
so much about a purebred Basque?

I'm writing a essay concerning
outlaws in the US.

About men from the resistance.
- Like Gal�ndez?

You won�t find anything about him here,
just like he never existed.

Wasn�t he killed for Trujillo?

He represented the Basque
nationalists in the US

Isn't he in your archives?

He isn't even commemorated.
- I don't know if he's in there.

He represented the Basque
Government in exile.

Can I have a look at those archives?

There has to be something I can find.
Even if it's only letters, it's something.

It's ok.
- He may be commemorated right?

Of course he can, but...

Can we talk further after dinner?
- Sure.

New York, 1988

Since when are you a communist?
- I never was...

I'm a Basque nationalist.
- Who are your contacts?

For fuck sake, I just said...

I want the truth, Professor!
- Where am I?

In New York? Miami?
And for how many days am I here?

I represent the Basque government

And which government is that?
We will inform your embassy.

I thought Franco was in charge there.
Or are we really that stupid here?

I'm an outlaw, and a professor at
the University of Columbia.

They'll come looking for me.
- Do you really think so?

You're on your own now.
- But I�m not a communist.

How long have you been a communist?
This is the last time I�m asking friendly...

You've served our country for years.

I'm in the Dominican republic.
- In the prison of San Silvestre.

Of General Trujillo, who isn't
satisfied with your behavior, at all!

Mister Professor...

Oh my god.

Are you Jesus Gal�ndez?
- I am, for the time being.

To make it clear: We don't have
anything to do with your situation.

With we, you mean the Spain of Franco?
- Stop it! There's only one Spain.

Listen, tell me everything you know
about the anti-Spanish outlaws.

Maybe I can do something for you then.
- What is it that you can do for me?

The least I can do, is stopping
them to torture you.

I Only talk in front of a judge.

I want to be treated how any
other prisoner is treated.

That�s not an option, and you know it.
Tell me something, so I can help you.

I'm already dead.
- You are the one doing that.

I'm a professor and a writer,
not a brigand.

I'm the only one that can help you,
you have to realize that now.

Say something,
or make something up.

Get me out of here,
I beg you.

I can't do that.

What is the American Government going
to do to help you in Basque country?

Take a good look at me again,
and never forget what you just saw!

You clearly haven't lost your tongue.
- Do you want to see?

Let him go,
and open this door.

I'm wasting my time with
this filthy nationalist

They also captured me.
You just got what you deserved.

This won't go unpunished.

How is he?
- He's ok, but he's rapidly tired.

I was ordered to keep in touch
with Madrid

These are the copies of the reports.
- And what did you discovered?

All I heard were rumors

He was taken to Moscow, or
they fed him to the Sharks...

But in reality, Trujillo sent
someone to kill Gal�ndez

But he was Spanish. Wasn't there
anything the embassy could do?

Gal�ndez was an enemy of Spain.

He called this over himself.

Trujillo was a blood-thirsty animal,
without any compassi�n for his opponent.

Didn't his family go looking for him?
- His father was in Ciudad Trujillo.

He was a good person.

not such a crazy separatist as his son.

My blood was boiling when I saw
how they were making fun of his sadness.

He had to return to Spain
Without the body of his son.

If it is about cruelty,
people are not better then animals.

The people who commit it,
as well as their victims.

Trujillo got scared when he
ordered the killing on Gal�ndez.

How come?

A Year later, a Spanish guy
walks into my office.

His name was Diaz.

His daughter was married to
a Dominican military pilot.

Oscar Moral.

He transported Gal�ndez from
New York to Ciudad Trujillo.

Oscar Moral
was killed right after that.

They said he committed suicide,
but the farewell letter was falsified.

He was killed, and mister Diaz
wanted the case to be investigated.

I thought it was my duty to help him,
as Spanish person and as a human being.

But we couldn't fight up
against Trujillo

He was forced to take back the things
he said, and say goodbye with sadness,

and I got send back to Madrid.

Do I get a copy of this?

You can take it all with you,
and do with it whatever you like.

Bye.

Thanks.
- What comes around, goes around.

What did you say?
- Go away.

And send that witch in here.

Look at who's waiting for me all
dressed up. What are we celebrating?

I'll tell you during diner.
I�ve worked all day long.

Look at that, that�s a fine
piece of woman.

Hey what�s up?
- Do you want some?

I�ll stick to the fruit. Why are
you walking around with that picture?

Everyone already forgot about Batista.
- There he goes again.

Whatever he says,
We'll never see Cuba again.

Believe me, Castro ain't gone yet.
- Looks like you're supporting him.

Are you nuts? I know what
communism did to the country.

this country is a sanctuary for fanatics.

Who want to give all this
up to go back to Cuba?

I'm out of here.
Say hello to your brother for me.

Maria, a good day for you too.

Put this on,
and see how it looks on you.

Oh my god...

Do you know who I am?

General Espaillat,
consul in New York.

'The Razorblade'.
- Read this.

I Can't.
- Fragments from newspapers.

I've denied every involvement,
and spread some rumors.

That you've been spotted in Mexico,
in the Soviet-Uni�n...

What are you up to?
- We're going to judge you.

Because of abuse of our hospitality
and because of conspiracy.

And you wanted to set the US against us.
- You over-estimate my powers.

Hi, ich ben Muriel.
- Rosa, the wife of Le�n Maria.

He himself couldn't come because
he's to busy, as usual.

You didn't have to come.
You already do so much for us.

Really, it�s nothing.

An American doctor just arrived.

She's doing a research on Gal�ndez.

Why, what Gal�ndez?

The one that got kidnapped
when you were solicitor.

Don't get mad,
I�m not insinuating anything.

I'm just trying to get you
two in contact with each other.

It's OK, I Understand.
If it's not possible, it's not possible.

Say hello to your wife for me.

He's suffering acute amnesia.

It's an honor that I may meet you.

It's my pleasure.

I've already called five people, and
I hear the same story over and over.

''What Gal�ndez?''
- I don't want to bother you.

Don't be afraid,
He loves doing it.

You have to go to Make-Up,
because you're in the show.

One minute on televisi�n,
can make a huge difference.

And do�a Rosa brought in an
American Scientist.

Please tell us all:
Why are you here for?

I'm investigating the mysterious
death of a Spanish outlaw.

Jes�s de Gal�ndez,
kidnapped in assignment for Trujillo.

Somebody is going to talk.

There hasn't been much change
after the death of Trujillo.

The same people stayed on top,
thanks to Balaguer and the US.

But the people conquer their fear
more and more.

We have to make the people listen
more to their conscience.

Every time I mention his name,

it looks like no-one ever heard
anything about Gal�ndez.

Even his own group in Spain.

I know that only your presence here,
already makes some people worried.

Even Balaguer.

I know that you want me to
talk with him.

But I don't see the use of it.
- He's the one that knows everything.

I don't think that he's going to say
something that can help me forward.

Or don't you want to be associated
with a non-trustworthy communist.

I don't think that he's going to say
something that can be used against him.

What did we do wrong, that even a
person like you can't trust us.

Phone call for Muriel Colbert.

I Saw you on Televisi�n,
I want to talk to you.

I�m not staying here for a long time.
Who are you anyway?

The daughter of Oscar Moral.

Attention.

El General�simo.

Start with it.

Did you write:
'The Era Trujillo'?

Yes.
- Talk louder, like a real man!

Did you write every word that is
written in that leaflet?

Yes.
- The defendant confesses the facts.

We received him with our arms
wide open, when he was on the run.

We accepted him when he came
living here.

He even became consultant for
the government.

You are from our bread.

He used his position to disrupt
our society.

He incited others to crime.

When our country got purified of
communists, he went to the US.

And from there-on he started to
spit on his fatherland,

with as purpose to blow our
friendship with the US.

You are a coward.

You're running away from a
man to man fight.

You're trying it from a distance,
with just words.

So, what do you have to say?

And not only did he slander...
- That's enough, colonel.

If I...
- I said, Enough!

Of course.

Books do not frighten me.
I've build this country myself.

That stinking book is negligible
as a few drops of water in the ocean.

If that's so, what am I doing here?
- What did you say? Why you little...

He asked why he's here.

How does he dare, that filthy traitor?
I'll blow his head off.

I'll tell you why you're here.

Because I do not endure it if someone
attacks my family and damage my honor.

Does that seem as a good reason
to you Mister Professor?

That�s why you're here, and
you're not leaving alive.

You got to my whole family.

My parents, my daughter, my on
Radam�s, who calls you a clown...

My brothers and sisters,
my wives...

You got to them all, even though
I could've forgotten about that.

But you went to far, when you
wrote that Ramfis wasn't my son

but from another man.

That's why I�m killing you,
because I�m sick and tired of it.

Can I say something?
- Out loud, that everyone can here it.

I'm a Basque writer, and professor.

I've been robbed of my freedom
on an illegal way.

I've been tortured
and I�m going to be killed soon.

You say that�s because I wrote
wrote that book.

But that isn�t true.

I'm going to die for the only
thing my life was useful for.

My freedom.

The freedom of writing whatever
seemed true to me.

And I don't regret any word I wrote.

That�s the only thing I had left.

It's too late to play the hero.
Espaillat, you know what to do.

The defendant is guilty, and
shall be executed.

Muriel Colbert? I'm Gloria Moral.
- Pleasure.

I'm sorry that I mentioned your
fathers name on the televisi�n.

It wasn't planned, that is all.
Shall we go inside?

Do you like tortoise pot?
That is our specialty.

Unfortunate, I can't stay here.
Are you his only relative?

No, I have a brother in Miami
and my mother lives here.

She's weak,
and after my father died...

It happened a very long time ago,
I barely remember anything.

My husband doesn't know you're here.
He's a civil servant, and you know...

I understand,
and I appreciate your help.

This Cruz Ayala.
She already knows.

It's an honor to meet you here.

We've read the reports from the
embassy yesterday.

I can't say anything about Gal�ndez.

But about Gloria's father,
that is purely conjectures.

Even her mother had doubts.

According to her, it wasn't suicide
and he didn't write the letter either.

Look, these are results from
of no less then two autopsies.

The family wanted to be a 100% sure.

It certainly wasn't suicide.

And a graphologist has confirmed that
he did write the letter himself.

Official documents from Trujillo's time
aren't worth shit, you know that.

But it's everything we have.

Did your father fly here with Gal�ndez?

According to my mother, they didn't.
- There were more pilots.

And who says he never was here?

They never found Gal�ndez,
so he could be everywhere

I know your mother is sick,
but can I see her?

Listen.
I know your work is important,

but at her age, she can't handle
all the sorrow.

Only for a minute
- Sorry.

Maybe another day?
Just tell me when.

You know that her mother is very sick.

You don't want to kill her, right?
- Thanks allot for your time.

But I still got one question.

Why did your father commit suicide?

that�s a very indiscreet question.
- Because he suffered cancer.

He had to give up his job, his life
with the son of Trujillo...

He couldn't continue living this way.

Thank you.

I got friends at the embassy.
How's everything with Manuel S�nchez?

He's good, given his age.

Did he tell you why he had to
return to Madrid?

Inciting under-aged boys
to prostitution.

And then again, he was crazy.

You have to check your sources.

In the US people get...
over-enthusiastic.

Can I give you a ride?
- No, I�ll walk.

C'mon, be a tourist.

No, don't do that.
Stop it.

It's ok, don't worry...

How are things in Santo Domingo?

Ma'am,
This man asked for you.

Thank you.
- I saw you on television.

I'm Jos� Rivera Maculeto.
I think that I can help you.

I'm almost leaving.
- I was there.

I saw that Gal�ndez.
- Did you talk to him?

No, he was in an ambulance.

They all did very mysterious
about what was going on.

I brought him to the
presidential palace.

Trujillo was going to kill him.
I wasn't in a leading function then.

But someone else was.
- And where is that someone now?

I rather not say that

The influence of some people
still realms far.

This all sounds very mysterious.
- Take it or leave it.

I'll be right back.

I'm looking for Le�n Mar�a Jara.

And his wife?

That�s ok,
I'll call back later. Thanks.

Wait here.

You can come now.

Come inside.
You can take a seat there.

Do you mind?
- No I don't.

I don't like people who make
drama over a cigarette. Do you smoke?

This is the Panatela,
specially made for the woman.

Tobacco is finely and fragrant.

From the Cibao-valley.
You'll get a heavy voice from it.

I have to confess something.

I Thought you were a feminist
who put away all her femininity.

But I was completely wrong.

You're very pleasant and beautiful.
- Thank you.

Do you care for a Coke with Rum?

Gladys,
two rum-cola.

Everybody's talking about your
presence here on the island.

What is the meaning of it?
- It's for a historical research.

You gringo's
want to command everyone.

And if you don't succeed,
you just invade.

And now you come talking about
justice?

Not all Americans are the same.

Just like Dominicans, or are
you all the same as Trujillo?

You told me that you wanted
to find out the truth.

Well, start writing.

At this place, everybody knew
about it.

Who gave the assignment to kill
him? Trujillo of course.

And 'The Razor Blade', Arturo Espaillat,
planned everything

with his companion, Oscar Moral.

And what did John Frank do?
He was the only one who was convicted.

They found someone to blame.

Oscar Moral
was involved as well?

He was looking for an airplane
from New York to Montecristi,

a doctor who had to take care
of Gal�ndez on the plain,

an American pilot, Murphy.

And then he went to the
San Silvestre jail.

And that�s were they killed him.
- How?

That doesn't matter. And nobody
gives a shit about it anymore.

Why did Trujillo gave the
assignment to kill Gal�ndez?

He called him a tyrant.

Wrong, because he called Trujillo
something else.

He said that Trujillo wasn't
the father of his son Ramfis.

Don't forget that a human live
isn't worth anything around here.

Trujillo should've stopped at that point.

How so?
- The press in the US heard about it.

A member of the congress picked up the
story, and Washington dropped Trujillo

After thirty years of loyal service,
he became very annoying.

Suddenly they realized what he
did now and then.

And because he got scared, Trujillo
started killing all witnesses.

Like Oscar Moral.
- Wait, not so fast.

First there was the doctor, then
the American Pilot, Murphy.

He would've been taken care
of by Oscar Moral

He was from the same bench
were Ramfis came from.

Always a big mouth, until
the action started.

He killed Murphy.
- And committed suicide

He couldn't handle the debt feelings.

At that point, there were allot of
"suicides", but Oscar Moral's was real.

It looks like you don't like that.

Don't take me wrong, young lady.

After Trujillo's death,
I connected with Bosch.

After a while, I left the army
and the politic, and started here.

I've told you the truth. Use it
with your power and knowledge.

Who gave this order?

No-one on this whole Island
have the guts to give me orders.

I've heard three stories about
Oscar Moral's roll in this already.

Do you want to confirm your
story for Le�n Mar�a Jara?

I don't owe anyone an explanation.

I'll talk to whom-ever I want.
- And I have to check my sources.

Look me in my eyes, and tell
me what you see.

Do you believe me?

You tell me that the people
that are guilty in this case,

all happen to be dead.

Stop wasting my time then.

Can I go outside?

Tastes good? Thanks you.
Bye.

Don't worry, I�m here as a
tourist now.

I'll come and taste that pot.
- All tables are full at the moment.

But that�s no problem right.
For only one person?

Fruit salad and the pot.
- Coming right up.

And?
- Delicious.

The toilet is over there.
- I have to wait for Gloria upstairs.

Are you Gloria's mother?
You don't know me...

Yes I do.

I've talked with Gloria about you
and your husband, and about Gal�ndez.

It's painful...
- I want to forget it.

You have to face the truth.
- Easier said then done.

You're not the only one
who's lost a loved-one.

And it's still happening.

You must not forget, for your husband.
- He wasn't a criminal.

They were orders.
- He committed suicide.

That�s not true.

He wrote me from New York,
when he worked for Espaillat.

He has to ship that man.

We had to say he suffered from cancer.
- From who?

I just want to know the truth.

I have no other meanings then the truth.

How did your husband and Gal�ndez died?
Somebody has to defend their rights.

Murphy was killed by the gringo's,
in his own country.

Their secret service was also
a part of the kidnapping.

That can't be, Gal�ndez worked
for the FBI.

Why would they kidnap him?

He was a traitor to them,
and my husband was a mulatto.

Can I read the letters?
Just read them.

What are you doing here? How dare you?
- Did your lawyer told you to lie?

Leave us alone. You come here and
play detective.

But meanwhile we still live here.
- Who are you afraid of? Cruz Ayala?

The CIA?
The American government?

Go away,
or I will call the police.

What can I do for you?

To the Meli�-hotel.

That�s five peso.

That�s five peso.

Where were you? The secretary
told me that you had called.

Weren't you going to leave?
- Yes, but allot is happened

Do you know a Colonel Areces,
from the Bosch group?

The name doesn't ring a bell
and I know almost everybody here.

Look at what I got.

What was written in those letters?
- The truth.

What do you mean by that?

You don't realize what you have done.

Good morning.
- 9 O'clock at the office, Ayala.

We've got a problem
- I want to eat my breakfast quiet.

I would not interrupt you, if
it wasn't for something serious

The congress wants to investigate.
- You call this something serious?

Didn't you learn anything?

Let us make a call to the gringo's,
and arrange this fast.

And take your trash with you,
I�m still eating here.

Why didn't I knew anything
about those letters?

We were just as surprised as you are.
- If this leaks out, you'll get in trouble.

Can't we do anything?
- Your mother is sick.

We could plead for her to be
legal insane.

Or she could day.

The CIA also kills their own
people to protect themselves.

But why Gal�ndez?
He was a writer.

Politically seen he wasn't a threat,
neither as a military.

He helped them, so why
would the kill him?

He messed with Trujillo, who was
an important money sponsor.

And election campaigns are
very expensive.

What�s wrong? Aren't you happy
with what you discovered?

I Don't know.

We will look for a good lawyer
tomorrow, and view our status.

And we'll see then.

And from now on, no secret dates
with unknown military personnel.

What day is it today?

I Do want to tell you, but I can't.

Do you know what hurts me the most?

That everything I�ve done,
was for nothing, just useless.

Captain...
- I'm listening

I'm going to die,
you can tell me that, right?

Look at me.
I'm begging you.

Do you know if they're maybe
looking for me?

Anyone?

I don't know for sure,
but I don't think so.

Can I write a letter?

Gora Euzkadi askatuta.

One moment please. Who's there?
- I'm here for your breakfast.

Come inside.

Bon-a-petit.
- Thank you.

I'm calling from New York. I have
all the information you're looking for.

You have to come over here, because
this is the place where he got kidnapped.

Who are you?
- Gal�ndez called me don Angelito.

Didn't you ran into my name
while researching?

We were good friends.

I was in his apartment, when
he got killed.

I Know what you're doing, and
you're not completely out of danger.

Even for other people.
- Who?

The family Moral for example,
and of course myself.

I'm putting my life on the line for
something that happened a long time ago.

It would be good if you could
still come over today.

There's an envelope in your hotel
with some documents in it.

And tonight you'll just fly back
with a bunch of new information.

Is this the only way we can communicate?
- I'm afraid so.

And, as an outlaw, I can't
go into Santo Domingo.

It maybe sounds strange,
but the information I�m giving you,

is very worth the trip to here.
Are you coming?

Why...

She's coming.

Is there an envelope for
Muriel Colbert?

Who gave this to you?
- A courier.

I Met him during the Spanish
Civil War. I was a correspondence clerk.

I've been everywhere.

In Nicaragua, with Sandino, in Spain,
with the resistance in France...

It's too much to mention.
You asked who "we" were.

We are the eternal rebels who
fight against the depression.

You are one of ours, I can see that.

You said you were there when
Gal�ndez got kidnapped.

Women are practical, right?

On the 12th of March 1956 I was
in Gal�ndez' apartment.

Like I already said, we were friends.

Trujillo already threatened him once,

but he thought he was save because
of his connections with the FBI.

And then?

Two men came in who anaesthetized him.

They did him in a large box.
- And what did you do?

I prayed that they wouldn't find me,
or else I would've been killed as well.

Luckily they were rushing.

If I could give you a good advice:
stop your research.

Jes�s became the symbol for
every victim of those tyrants.

That has to stay that way.
- I don't want to change anything.

I Want to know the truth
- The truth isn't that beautiful.

Jes�s didn't die in San Silvestre
or in Santo Domingo,

and not in 1956 either.

You just arrived on time,
as usual... the FBI.

Why was the body never found?

Did the FBI saved Gal�ndez
from the hands of Trujillo?

We didn't have much attention
for his work at the FBI.

But he was important to them.

This is a letter from Jes�s for
agent Dryden from the FBI. Read it.

Gal�ndez had allot of contacts with
socialist groups, and gave away everyone.

The only one who he didn't gave away,
was the Basque Nationalistic Group.

That�s why it looked that the Americans
weren't interested at all.

You have to face it:
he gave us all away.

He worked for the FBI.
- And you never suspected anything?

You don�t suspect your friends.

And the Basque Group?

I couldn't imagine that he would
lose his nationalism.

His group was as bad as the FBI.
It was like he never existed at all.

I want some evidence from the things
you told me, that�s not that hard right?

Listen, the people rather have a
false hero, then a true traitor.

Leave him alone from now-on.

I want some evidence.

Don't you have pictured from your
visits? A Letter, or maybe a witness?

I can't do that.
- I got letters from Oscar Moral.

It contains facts that the CIA
killed him, Murphy, and Gal�ndez.

Those are only lies, written
by some bastard.

Who deserved to die, and did.

Maybe. Too many people ask me to stop.

Maybe you have to discover
your own truth.

Or maybe I�m becoming an old fool.

How can I reach you?
- I'll call you.

I can't work up against all that young
violence, so do what you think is best.

Do you like cats?
- Yes, Allot.

I should've known. You should
see my five cats.

They're my only weak-spot.
- I have to make my flight back.

Let me give you a lift.

People who love animals,
can't be bad persons.

Look at who we have there.

This is a message from the American
Embassy in Santo Domingo.
