(ENGINE TURNS OVER)
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
SO, WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?
BODY. WASHED UP ON THE ROCKS.
WHO FOUND IT?
UH, THOSE KIDS SPOTTED IT ALL
TANGLED UP DOWN THERE, SO WE GOT
IT BROUGHT UP.
ANYBODY RECOGNIZE IT?
NO, SIR.
NOBODY KNOWS HER.
HER?
SHE LOOKS SO YOUNG.
AND SHE'S NEVER GONNA GET
OLD.
WE NEED A PHOTOGRAPHER DOWN
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
CALLED THE MORGUE GUYS.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.
THAT'S IT FOR NOW.
OKAY.
OH, AND, OFFICER...
LINO.
OFFICER LINO, VERY GOOD WORK.
SIR.
HERE YOU GO, DETECTIVE.
TAKE A LOOK.
A CLOSE LOOK.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
WHERE SHE CAME FROM.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET UNDER
HER SKIN.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE HER
YOUR BEST FRIEND.
YOUR LOVER, EVEN.
SO, YOU'RE GONNA BE LIVING WITH
HER NIGHT AND DAY.
SLEEPING WITH HER.
DREAMING ABOUT HER.
UNTIL YOU CAN PUT HER TO REST.
UNTIL YOU CAN ANSWER THE WHYS
AND THE HOWS OF HER SHORT,
LITTLE LIFE.
LOOK CLOSELY.
EVERY DETAIL IS IMPORTANT.
EVERY SCRATCH TELLS A STORY.
EVERY BRUISE HIDES A DREAM.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
(HORN HONKS)
SO, TELL ME HER STORY.
THINK SHE DROWNED?
YEAH, LOOKS LIKE IT.
BUT SHE WAS PRETTY MESSED UP.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
PROBABLY FROM BANGING ONTO
AH, BUT MAYBE THAT KILLED
HER.
AH, I DON'T THINK SO.
ALL THE BRUISING AND SKIN
TEARING LOOKS POSTMORTEM.
SO, SHE WASN'T BEAT UP BEFORE
SHE HIT THE WATER?
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
SO, HOW'D SHE GET IN THE
IF SHE'D FALLEN OFF THE MALECÓN,
SHE WOULD HAVE HIT THE ROCKS
BEFORE SHE HIT THE WATER.
IF SHE FELL OFF A DOCK, SHE
WOULDN'T HAVE GONE OUT THAT FAR.
AND YOU DON'T WEAR HIGH HEELS AT
THE BEACH.
SHE FELL OFF A BOAT.
AH.
SEE? NOW WE KNOW THE HOW.
NOW I'LL TELL YOU THE WHY.
NICE YOUNG GIRL ENTERTAINING A
RICH MAN ON HIS YACHT, DRINKING.
SHE'S NAKED.
SHE FALLS OFF THE BOAT AND SHE
(CHUCKLES)
I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.
REMEMBER THIS, DETECTIVE.
THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION IS OFTEN
THE CORRECT ONE.
I'LL SEND THE PHOTO AROUND TO
ALL THE USUAL PLACES.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SHE'S FROM
BUT ISN'T THAT PROTOCOL?
SHE LOOKED SO YOUNG.
SHE WAS A FUCKING B-GIRL.
OKAY.
WHAT IS -- AH.
IT'S A ROADBLOCK.
COME ON.
(TIRES SQUEAL)
(HORN HONKS)
WE'RE POLICE.
WE'RE ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS.
IT'S A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
YOU GUYS CHECK OUT THE ALLEY
BEHIND THE CAPRI?
(CHUCKLES)
WE MADE THE FRONT PAGE.
HEY, BOYS. DO YOU HEAR THAT?
WE MADE THE FRONT PAGE.
TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS YOUR WORK?
CRIED LIKE A BABY.
OH, LET ME SEE THAT.
OH, MY GOD.
AND HE BLED LIKE A PIG.
BEAUTIFUL.
WHO IS HE?
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
JUAN GUTIERREZ.
ASSOCIATED WITH THE JULY 26TH
MOVEMENT, KNOWN FOR ACTS OF
SABOTAGE, PROBABLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR KILLING THOSE TWO SIM
SOLDIERS.
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ.
MAY I SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE?
HEY, DID YOU SEE THIS?
WE MADE THE FRONT PAGE.
PHONE'S BEEN RINGING OFF THE
HOOK ALL MORNING.
CONGRATULATIONS.
(CHUCKLES)
LOOKS LIKE POINT-BLANK.
ALWAYS. RIGHT IN THE FACE.
SEE? IT MAKES FOR A BETTER
YOU CAN SEE THE BULLET HOLE.
YOU CAN SEE THE BLOOD.
YOU CAN SEE THE DEAD EYES.
IT MAKES THEM THINK TWICE.
IT'S A MASTERPIECE.
COME IN.
YOUR REPORT.
YES, SIR.
TEAR IT UP. BURN IT.
GET RID OF IT.
SIR?
YOUR FATHER GOT YOU HERE, BUT
HE CAN'T PROTECT YOU.
AND IF YOU PUSH THIS REPORT --
HE PUT A BULLET THROUGH --
HE WAS A STUDENT.
SHUT DOWN THE UNIVERSITY AND
STILL THEY'RE AT IT.
HE WAS A KID JUST WALKING
DOWN THE STREET.
THESE KIDS ARE TRYING TO TEAR
EVERYTHING DOWN.
BURN IT.
WE LIVE IN TOUCHY TIMES.
DETECTIVE MASVIDAL UNDERSTANDS
HE CAN TEACH YOU A GREAT DEAL IF
YOU'RE WILLING TO LEARN.
I AM WILLING TO LEARN, SIR.
DON'T TRY AND FIGHT THIS.
YOUR FATHER DID AND IT TORE HIM
APART.
THEY WANT RESULTS, AND WE'VE GOT
TO GIVE IT TO THEM.
SO, ENOUGH OF THIS.
OR YOU'LL BE THE ONE TO SUFFER,
NOT DETECTIVE MASVIDAL.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BUT THE
AUTOPSY REPORT CAME BACK IN ON
THAT CHIPPY.
AND?
HEROIN OVERDOSE. THAT'S ALL.
STUPID LITTLE WHORE DID HERSELF
IN WITH TOO MUCH HEROIN.
SO, THAT'S IT. CASED CLOSED.
EXCELLENT. GOOD WORK.
BUT DON'T WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
WHO SHE WAS?
(SIGHS)
WHERE THE HEROIN CAME FROM?
WHO -- WHO DUMPED HER BODY?
DETECTIVE MASVIDAL.
YES.
I GOT A MESSAGE.
SOMEBODY'S IDENTIFIED THAT
SHE WAS A DANCER AT
THE SHANGHAI.
THANKS.
I CAN GO CHECK IT OUT.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS UP
TOGETHER.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
LET'S DO A PROPER JOB.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
(HORNS HONK)
(CUBAN MUSIC PLAYS)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
SOME OF YOUR GUYS WERE HERE
WE TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM NOW?
WE'RE JUST HERE TO IDENTIFY A
DANCER.
(SIGHS)
(CROWD CHEERS)
DETECTIVE.
COME.
(MUSIC STOPS)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
INEZ VEGA.
YEP.
THAT'S HER.
ANY IDEA WHERE THIS VEGA
FAMILY LIVES?
THAT'S NOT HER REAL NAME.
IT'S A STAGE NAME.
WE MADE IT UP FOR HER.
AND HER REAL NAME?
PFFT.
(LAUGHS)
THAT'S USUALLY THE BIGGEST
SECRET OF ALL.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER
DOES SHE HAVE ANY CLOSE FRIENDS?
WELL...YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK THE
THE LAST SHOW ENDS IN, MM, 45
MINUTES?
IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN --
THANK YOU. WE WILL.
(TANGO MUSIC PLAYS)
HERE.
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THE
SMOOTHEST SMOKE IN ALL OF CUBA.
IT'S MY OWN BRAND, UNICO.
I OWN A PLANTATION.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?
IN PINAR DEL RIO.
IT'S SMALL, BUT THE YIELD IS
HIGH QUALITY.
IT'S WORTH A GOOD CHUNK OF
MONEY.
THESE ARE FOR MY SPECIAL
FRIENDS.
SO, HERE.
SMOKE UP AND ENJOY.
(LAUGHTER)
HERE'S MY ADVICE TO YOU.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR POSITION
WHILE YOU CAN.

PRETTY LIKE ME.
LOOK AROUND YOU.
HAVANA IS THE PLAYGROUND OF THE
RICH AND FAMOUS.
AND I WANT TO PLAY AROUND JUST
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, DON'T YOU?
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
MM?
AT WHAT POINT -- OR IS THERE
EVEN A POINT -- WHEN EVIDENCE OR
ACTUAL LAW BECOMES A FACTOR?
(LAUGHS)
IT'S ALWAYS A FACTOR.
IT'S ALWAYS A FACTOR, KID.
THAT'S THE POINT.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
YOU GUNNED THAT KID DOWN.
HOW WAS THAT FOLLOWING THE LAW?
THAT KID?
YOU MEAN THAT ANARCHIST?
I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
FOLLOWING THE LAW.
IT'S ABOUT UPHOLDING THE LAW.
DETECTIVE, THINK ABOUT IT.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO UPHOLD
THE LAW IF WE ACTUALLY FOLLOW
IT?
WHEN THE LAW IS ABOVE THE
LAW, THERE IS NO LAW.
OKAY, THAT'S VERY NICE IN A
UNIVERSITY CLASSROOM.
(LAUGHS)
BUT THIS IS THE REAL WORLD, KID.
COME ON. IT'S ALL JUST A GAME.
YOU PLAY IT RIGHT, YOU WIN.
YOU DON'T PLAY AT ALL, YOU LOSE.
(MUSIC ENDS)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
PLAY THE GAME.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW I'M GONNA GO BACKSTAGE.
AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A VERY
SPECIAL INTERROGATION TECHNIQUE.
WE MAY NEVER FIND OUT WHO THIS
BROAD WAS, BUT AT LEAST WE'LL
GET LAID.
NOW, WE NEED ALL THE INFORMATION
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, SO,
PLEASE, TAKE A VERY GOOD LOOK.
MM...MNH-MNH.
NOPE. DON'T KNOW HER.
NOW, IF YOU PRETEND THAT YOU
DON'T KNOW HER, WELL, THERE'S
NOT MUCH WE CAN DO.
I DON'T KNOW HER.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
(LAUGHS)
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
ELIA.
THAT'S A LOVELY, LOVELY NAME.
YOU KNEW HER?
HOW DID SHE --
HEROIN OVERDOSE.
NO.
THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
NOT TO HER.
THOSE BASTARDS.
WHO?
HEY. WHAT BASTARDS?
I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED
TO HER.
SHE'S MY...
WAS MY ROOMMATE.
NOW, ELIA, I'VE SOMETHING
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO ASK.
YOUR BROTHER -- TELL ME ABOUT
HIM.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE
HEROIN?
I KNEW SHE TRIED IT.
I TOLD HER.
I TOLD HER NOT TO.
I THOUGHT SHE'D STOP.
WHERE DID SHE GET IT?
ESCAPE.
THAT'S ALL WE TALKED ABOUT.
ESCAPE FROM NO FOOD, NO HOME, NO
HOPE.
ESCAPE TO A B--
(SIGHS)
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT SHE FOUND.
HEY.
LET ME TAKE YOU HOME.
THIS IS ALL SHE LEFT.
YOU MIND IF I...
GO AHEAD.
IF IT'S GONNA HELP.
ALICIA PALMIRA.
YES.
FROM MATANZAS.
CAN I HANG ONTO THIS?
I'M SORRY. I --
I THINK I NEED TO BE ALONE.
YEAH.
OF COURSE.
YOU'LL CALL ME?
ONCE YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?
YEAH.

I'LL GET THEM.
I PROMISE.
(BELLS RINGING)
(SOBBING) NO!
LUIS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I JUST CAME TO PAY MY
RESPECTS.
SPYING ON PEOPLE?
TAKING NAMES?
DON'T DO THIS.
IT WAS YOU AND YOUR PARTNER
WHO PUT A FUCKING BULLET IN THAT
STOP IT. DON'T.
I'M SORRY.
THIS IS MY BROTHER.
POLICE DETECTIVE RUBÉN VÉLEZ.
I'M CARLA.
SHE WAS MY TEACHING
ASSISTANT.
SO, YOU BOTH KNEW.
HE WAS MY STUDENT.
BACK WHEN THERE WAS UNIVERSITY.
I'M SORRY.
I TRIED TO HELP, BUT THERE WAS
NOTHING I COULD DO.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ARREST MASVIDAL?
HE'S THE KILLER.
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
IN FACT, YOU'RE THE NUMBER-ONE
WITNESS.
AREN'T YOU?
SO...ARE YOU GOING TO ARREST
HIM?
NO.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO.
AND THAT KID -- HE WAS SO
BRIGHT, SO TALENTED.
OH, HE HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR
HIM.
HE WAS MY BEST STUDENT.
YEAH, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS HE
WAS INVOLVED IN STUDENT ACTIVITY
YES, HE WAS INVOLVED. YEAH.
AND HE HAD MORE GUTS THAN YOU OR
THAT PIG OF A COP --
LUIS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU LIVE
WITH YOURSELF.
'CAUSE I COULDN'T.
(SIGHS)
(TELEPHONE RINGS)
OVER HERE.
I ALREADY TOLD YOU.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
TALKED TO YOUR HALF-SISTER?
HOW CAN I TALK TO A DEAD
BEFORE SHE DIED.
WITH ME, SHE'S DEAD TWO YEARS
DEAD. UNDERSTAND?
MARIANO! MARIANO!
SHE IS YOUR SISTER!
SHE WAS NOT MY SISTER!
LOOK. LOOK.
I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSONAL
FEELINGS, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.
SO, ANY INFORMATION THAT
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER IS WHAT
SHE DESERVED.
(CRYING)
I'M SORRY, MAMA. SORRY.
(CRYING)
BUT IT'S --
MARIANO PALMIRA.
¿SÍ?
MARIANO PALMIRA, I ARREST YOU
FOR THE MURDER OF YOUR SISTER,
ALICIA PALMIRA.
I HAVE A RELIABLE EYEWITNESS WHO
SAW YOU BEAT YOUR SISTER.
I HAVE A RELIABLE WITNESS
WHO SAW YOU VIOLENTLY ACCOST
A WITNESS?
WE JUST FOUND OUT WHO THIS GIRL
ELIA, ONE OF THE DANCERS I
WAS TALKING TO LAST NIGHT.
SHE TOLD ME THAT THE VICTIM WAS
DANCING JUST OVER A YEAR AGO
WHEN WHO SHOULD SHOW UP?
SHE BROUGHT SHAME TO OUR
FAMILY.
AH.
SO, YOU ADMIT IT.
SHE COULDN'T GO TO WORK FOR OVER
SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT NIGHT!
THAT'S HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR THE
BRUISES AND THE BROKEN BONES TO
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW
I DIDN'T KILL HER.
OH, NO?
BUT, OF COURSE, I HAD NO IDEA
WHO INEZ VEGA'S BROTHER WAS
BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHO
INEZ VEGA REALLY WAS.
SO, VERY GOOD WORK, DETECTIVE.
NOT ONLY DID YOU FIND OUT HER
REAL NAME, BUT YOU BROUGHT IN
HER BROTHER, THE KILLER HIMSELF.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!
I DIDN'T TOUCH MY SISTER!
WE HAVE MOTIVE AND WE HAVE A
YEAH, A WITNESS WHO SAW A
BEATING, NOT A KILLING.
DETECTIVE.
WHY DON'T YOU LET ME HANDLE THIS
NOW?
YOU CAN GO TYPE UP THE ARREST
SHEET.
NO!
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
YEAH.
HE DIDN'T DO IT. PLEASE.
HELP HIM.
IT'S OKAY.
I LOST MY DAUGHTER.
I CAN'T LOSE MY SON!
HE DIDN'T DO IT!

HE CONFESSED TO EVERYTHING.
CASE CLOSED.
WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU.
(CLACKING STOPS)
WELL.
(CLACKING RESUMES)
I MUST TELL YOU, SIR.
IT WASN'T JUST ME.
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ HERE -- HE'S THE
ONE WHO IDENTIFIED THE VICTIM'S
REAL NAME AND NABBED HER
BROTHER, THE MURDERER.
I JUST DID THE FINAL
INTERROGATION.
WELL.
I THINK YOU HAVE QUITE A FUTURE
IN HOMICIDE, DETECTIVE VÉLEZ.

YOU WANTED ME TO LET YOU KNOW
ABOUT ALICIA'S CASE?
WELL, THEY'VE ARRESTED HER
BROTHER, MARIANO.
NO.
YEAH.
HE CONFESSED.
AND HE HAS A HISTORY OF
VIOLENCE.
HE BEAT HER UP.
HE BEAT HER UP, YEAH.
A LOT OF THE GIRLS KNEW THAT.
BUT THAT WAS A YEAR AGO, AND HE
HASN'T BEEN AROUND SINCE.
YEAH, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
WHAT ABOUT THE HEROIN?
SHE DIED OF A HEROIN OVERDOSE.
WHERE'S HE GONNA GET THE HEROIN?
HE LIVES IN A SHACK IN A
SHANTYTOWN.
WELL, I MEAN, HE SIGNED A
CONFESSION.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
YOU EITHER BELIEVE ME OR YOU
DON'T.
I BELIEVE YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT
IT?
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THE CASE IS CLOSED.
YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT THEY TELL
IT'S ORDERS.
YOU COPS ARE ALL THE SAME --
IN BED WITH THE KILLERS.
LOOK, SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER
ANOTHER DANCER WHO WHAT?
SLEPT AROUND WITH ALL KINDS OF
MEN?
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
JUST WHO DID SHE SLEEP AROUND
WITH?
ANY IDEAS?
WHAT ARE YOU --
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
I'M JUST ANOTHER DANCER, BUT I
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
NO ONE CAN FIND OUT I'M EVEN
TALKING TO YOU.
PEOPLE PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO
KEEP YOU COPS FROM SNOOPING
NO ONE WILL FIND OUT.
THEY MUST NEVER FIND OUT.
THEY WON'T.
BECAUSE I'LL PROTECT YOU.
SHE USED TO RUN AROUND WITH
ONE OF THE CUSTOMERS.
SHE WAS CRAZY ABOUT HIM.
I THINK SHE THOUGHT HE'D MARRY
HER AND TAKE HER AWAY FROM ALL
THIS.
DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME?
JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO.
I DIDN'T TELL YOU.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
WHY WOULD HE PICK UP JULIANA?
(CHUCKLES)
WHAT, ARE YOU JEALOUS?
AWW!
YOU CAN'T ARREST A GUY FOR
TAKING OFF WITH YOUR BROAD.
SOME GUYS, MAYBE, BUT NOT
MORETTI.
IT'S A BUNCH OF STUDENTS
MARCHING AROUND OUT HERE.
AND IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU.

CAPTAIN IBANEZ, GOOD TO SEE
YOU.
QUITE A MESS.
BUT NOTHING SERIOUS.
NO, NO, NO.
WE'LL HAVE IT CLEANED UP IN NO
MORE OF A NUISANCE THAN
AN ATTACK AGAINST OUR LEGAL
INSTITUTION CAN HARDLY BE CALLED
A NUISANCE.
NO.
NOT IN THAT SENSE, I SUPPOSE.
WHAT OTHER SENSE IS THERE?
DAMN STUDENTS ARE GETTING
BOLDER AND BOLDER.
WELL, SIR, WE DIDN'T SEE
EXACTLY WHO IT WAS WHO THREW IT
THROUGH THE WINDOW.
AND YOU ARE?
DETECTIVE MASVIDAL, HOMICIDE.
AH.
THE REASON -- THE REASON FOR THE
MESS.
THE RETALIATION FOR
JUAN GUTIERREZ.
WE'VE ALL HEARD OF WHAT HAPPENED
THAT NIGHT IN THE ALLEY,
DETECTIVE MASVIDAL.
I CAN'T RECALL A KILL ORDER
BEING ISSUED FOR JUAN GUTIERREZ.
BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH
MORE VALUABLE TO US ALIVE.
WELL, ACTUALLY, SIR, MY
PARTNER AND I, WE BOTH
INTERROGATED HIM RATHER
YOU INTERROGATED HIM.
UH, YES, SIR.
RATHER -- RATHER FORCEFULLY.
AND YOU'RE KNOWLEDGEABLE ON
INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES?
SORRY?
WE ARE THE EXPERTS.
WE KNOW HOW TO EXTRACT
INFORMATION, WHICH IS WHY WE
HANDLE THESE CASES.
THIS IS A WAR.
WE ARE THE MILITARY.
THESE SCUM BELONG TO US.
NO, YOU WEREN'T THINKING,
WHICH IS WHY YOU WEREN'T
CAREFUL.
NOW, THE WOODS.
THE ALMENDARES PARK.
MUCH MORE DISCRETE.
NOT THE CAPRI.
BUSIEST TIME OF THE NIGHT, FULL
OF AMERICAN TOURISTS.
YOU EXPOSED YOURSELF.
THEY KNOW IT WAS YOU.
AND NOW YOU'RE A TARGET AND SO
IS THE STATION.
SO, CAPTAIN, I SUGGEST -- I
RECOMMEND -- THAT YOU PUT ON
ARMED GUARDS AND YOU ASSIGN
OBSERVERS TO KEEP AN EYE ON ALL
THE ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE BLOCK.
YES. YES.
WE'VE ALREADY MADE PLANS FOR
THEY WILL TRY AGAIN.
NOW, BETWEEN YOU AND ME,
PERSONALLY, I COMMEND YOUR
INITIATIVE.
BUT NEXT TIME, PLEASE, LEAVE
THAT KIND OF WORK FOR THE
EXPERTS.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
BLACKJACK, CRAPS, BACCARAT,
AND SLOTS ALL AROUND.
WE BROUGHT IN EXPERTS FROM VEGAS
TO RUN ALL THE TABLES.
EVERYTHING'S ON THE UP-AND-UP.
ONLY SERIOUS PLAYERS.
BIGGEST CASINO IN THE WORLD
OUTSIDE OF VEGAS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME
I CAN'T. I'VE GOT TO GO.
IF HE SEES ME WITH YOU --
I'VE GOT TO GO.
IF WHO SEES YOU?
I'VE GOT TO GO!
MORETTI?
HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?
PLEASE, DON'T.
HERE.
LET'S JUST GO OUTSIDE.
JUST TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW HIM.
WHAT'S HE GOT TO DO WITH
YOU KNOW HE WAS DEPORTED FROM
THE STATES FOR SMUGGLING HEROIN?
HE KNOWS PEOPLE.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
THAT.
OKAY, THEN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?
HE KNOWS MR. LANSKY.
AND MR. LANSKY OWNS THIS HOTEL.
AND HE'S INVOLVED IN THE
MONTMARTRE AND THE NACIONAL.
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT WHAT DOES
THAT HAVE TO DO --
I KNOW WHAT EVERYONE SAYS ABOUT
HIM, BUT...
MAYBE IT'S ALL TRUE.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I'M A DANCER.
AND HE RUNS SOME OF THE BIGGEST
CLUBS IN HAVANA.
YOU KNOW, FRANK SINATRA COMES
AND SINGS FOR HIM IN THE CLUBS.
AND I GOT TO MAKE A LIVING.
LIKE FRANK SINATRA.
AND MORETTI SAYS HE'LL TALK
TO LANSKY ABOUT YOU.
HE'S A NICE GUY.
NICE TO ME, ANYWAY.
AND HE SAYS MR. LANSKY MIGHT PUT
ME IN THE CHORUS RIGHT HERE IN
THE COPA.
IN EXCHANGE FOR WHAT?
SOMETIMES HE NEEDS LITTLE FAVORS
DONE.
LITTLE FAVORS?
DATES.
YOU KNOW, SPEND A FEW HOURS WITH
SOME BIG SHOT YANK THEY WANT TO
IMPRESS.
LIKE THOSE GUYS IN THE
CASINO RIGHT NOW.
YES.
I'VE GOT TO GO.
I CAN'T BE LATE.
HOLD ON.
WHAT ABOUT ALICIA?
DID SHE DO FAVORS FOR
MORETTI?
YEAH.
SOMETIMES.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT ALL THAT OFTEN,
IT'S JUST NOW AND THEN.
IT'S STRICTLY BUSINESS.
YEAH.
WAS JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO A
FAVOR?
NO.
JACINTO -- HE JUST CAME TO A
SHOW AND HE KIND OF TOOK A SHINE
TO ALISH.
MORETTI HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
YOU'RE SURE OF THAT?
YES.
JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO, HE'S FROM
A WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD.
WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT ALICIA?
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM YET.
HE'S THE ONE.
JACINTO'S THE ONE WHO KILLED
IF NOTHING HAPPENED.
HE DID IT.
WHEN I'M DANCING AT THE RIVIERA,
I'LL SEND YOU A FREE TICKET SO
YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE SHOW.
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ HERE TO SEE
JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO.
CERTAINLY. THIS WAY.
GOOD MORNING.
JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO.
YOU ASKED TO SEE ME.
YES.
DETECTIVE RUBÉN VÉLEZ.
HAVANA POLICE.
OH, POLICE.
I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW
QUESTIONS ABOUT A YOUNG LADY.
THEN WHY DON'T WE GO SIT IN
THE BACK GARDEN?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
RAMON, TWO COFFEES, PLEASE.
FRESH FROM OUR OWN PLANTATION.
COFFEE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE REAL
FAMILY BUSINESS.
NOT POLITICS.
(CHUCKLES)
SO, YOU DID KNOW HER.
I CAN'T SAY I KNEW HER.
THAT WOULD BE AN OVERSTATEMENT.
BUT YOU SPENT TIME WITH HER.
WE'VE HAD A FEW DRINKS
TOGETHER, YES.
CIGAR?
NO. THANKS.
HER NAME WAS ALICIA PALMIRA.
ALSO WENT BY THE NAME INEZ VEGA.
I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME,
THANK YOU, RAMON.
DETECTIVE, I'M NOT IN THE HABIT
OF CONSORTING WITH SUCH.
IT'S JUST EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE
IT'S GOOD TO GET OUT AND BLOW
OFF A LITTLE STEAM.
THAT'S ALL.
MM.
AND THE HEROIN.
WERE YOU AWARE SHE WAS USING IT?
GOOD LORD, NO. I HAD NO IDEA.
YOU NEVER SAW ANY?
SHE NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING?
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
NEVER.
DETECTIVE...

MY PARENTS WOULD NEVER HAVE ANY
IDEA, OF COURSE, THAT I WOULD
EVEN EVER SPEAK TO SUCH A GIRL.
IT WOULD SCANDALIZE THEM.
AND MY FATHER, BEING WHO HE IS,
ANY WHIFF OF SCANDAL BY HIS ONLY
SON WOULD --

SOL EXPORTACION.
YES.
FAIRLY NEW COMPANY?
WE EXPORT COFFEE.
WE HANDLE A NUMBER OF KEY
PLANTATIONS, YES.

ALL THE CUSTOMS PAPERWORK.

HAVANA POLICE.
THIS IS MY FATHER.
WHAT IS THIS CONCERNING?
THIS IS NOTHING, SIR.
I AM SPEAKING TO THE

I JUST HAVE TO ASK YOUR SON SOME
THIS IS HIGHLY UNORTHODOX.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET SOME
INFORMATION ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN.
I'M SORRY, DETECTIVE.
BUT YOU'RE YOUNG AND RELATIVELY
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO WILL
SPREAD ANY KIND OF RIDICULOUS
FALSE INNUENDO TO DAMAGE MY
REPUTATION.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY SON
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THIS DEAD
WOMAN.
AND WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO LEAVE
THANK YOU.
RAMON WILL SHOW YOU OUT.
(TIRES SQUEAL)
(HORN HONKS)
(HORNS HONKING)
WELL, THEY DO WHATEVER THEY

I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE YOUR WIFE OR YOUR BROTHER.
YOUR FATHER LOSES HIS JOB.
GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.
THIS IS ALL UNDER UPHOLDING
THIS IS SHEER "I DON'T GIVE A
FUCK" POWER.
(HORNS HONKING)
GOD DAMN IT!
THIS GODDAMN TRAFFIC!
WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?
GODDAMN CONSTRUCTION.
BET YOU CALZADO DOESN'T HAVE TO
WAIT FOR TRAFFIC.
(HORNS HONKING)
WHAT?
WHERE'D THIS COME FROM?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A BUSINESS CARD.
SOL EXPORTACION.
NEVER HEARD OF IT.
IT'S A COFFEE EXPORT COMPANY.
YEAH?
YEAH, OWNED AND OPERATED BY
JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO.
AND HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT IT?
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
JACINTO?
YEAH.
WELL, I KNOW OF HIM.
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?
WHAT HIS BUSINESS CARD IS DOING IN THE CAR.
I TOLD YOU, I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
WHAT, ARE YOU INTERROGATING ME?
HEY, HEY, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE!
WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
HEY, CALM DOWN. I'M JUST ASKING.
NO, NO, NO. I'M YOUR PARTNER.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET SUSPICIOUS ON ME.
ABSOLUTE TRUST. THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDED HERE.
GIVE ME THE FUCKING CARD.
(HORNS HONKING)
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT ANYMORE, ALL RIGHT?
THE CASE IS CLOSED.
I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT.
SHE KILLED HERSELF WITH HEROIN. SHE'S DEAD. THAT'S IT.
I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ALICIA.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
END OF STORY, ALL RIGHT? IT'S OVER.
WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
YOU KEEP ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS, YOU'RE GONNA END UP
DEAD BEFORE YOUR TIME, JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER.
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY FATHER.
(CROWD SCREAMING)
(HORN BLARES)
RUBÉN.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
YOU'RE OKAY.
THE BULLET JUST GRAZED YOU.
OH. BUT ANOTHER INCH.
OH, MY GOD.
MASVIDAL?
WE'RE SO LUCKY IT WASN'T YOU.
WHEN THEY CALLED US, I --
I THOUGHT --
HERE.
DRINK THIS.
THE DOCTOR CALLS YOU
MR. LUCKY.
(CHUCKLES)
AH.
YOU'RE LUCKY YOU ONLY GOT A
COUPLE STITCHES AND A HEADACHE.
AND THESE LOVELY FLOWERS CAME
FOR YOU.
IT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL.
YOU CAN COME HOME.
DID THEY CATCH WHOEVER --
THEY LOCKED DOWN THE WHOLE CITY.
I MEAN, THERE'S CHECKPOINTS
IT JUST GIVES THEM AN EXCUSE TO
ROUND UP ANYBODY THEY WANT AND
TORTURE THEM.
THEY KILLED A COP.
MY PARTNER.
YES.
I'M SORRY.
THEY KILLED YOUR PARTNER.
BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT
MASVIDAL, HE -- HE'S A DIRTY
COP.
DON'T YOU TWO START.
HE HAD IT COMING.
HE WAS A NASTY SON OF A BITCH.
LUIS, YOUR LANGUAGE!
WHAT WOULD YOUR FATHER SAY?
WHETHER HE WAS A SON OF A
BITCH OR NOT, IT'S STILL MURDER,
RIGHT?
AND I HAVE TO FIND WHO KILLED
HIM.
THAT'S MY JOB.
WELL, YOU EVER WONDER WHETHER
THERE'S A TIME WHEN DOING YOUR
JOB IS NOT IN THE GENERAL GOOD?
AT LEAST I STILL HAVE A JOB.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
CAPTAIN CALZADO.
WE'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
IT'S OKAY.
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ, WE MEET
AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND IF I HAVE
A FEW WORDS.
NO.
NO. NOT AT ALL.
FIRST OF ALL, MY SINCERE
YOUR PARTNER WAS AN EXCELLENT
OFFICER.
AND A FATHER. TWO CHILDREN?
YES.
AND TO BE BRUTALLY GUNNED
DOWN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT ON THE
CITY'S BUSIEST STREET.
WE HAVE TO APPREHEND THEM.
THEY MUST BE STOPPED.
DID YOU SEE THEM?
IT HAPPENED SO FAST.
SO SUDDEN.
YES, I UNDERSTAND.
HAD YOU NOTICED ANYTHING IN THE
DAYS LEADING UP TO THE
ASSASSINATION?
THEY MUST HAVE BEEN OBSERVING
YOU.
DEFINITELY THE WORK OF MORE
THAN ONE.
PROBABLY A CELL.
MAYBE SEVERAL CELLS.
THEY KNEW YOUR CAR.
THEY KNEW YOUR REGULAR
MOVEMENTS.
IT WAS ALL VERY WELL-PLANNED,
LIKE A MILITARY OPERATION.
OR JUST ONE NUT CASE OUT FOR
REVENGE.
MM.
I KNOW YOU DEAL WITH HOMICIDE,
DETECTIVE, BUT THIS IS NOT
HOMICIDE.
THIS IS A POLITICAL
THAT'S WHY WE'RE DEALING WITH IT
AND NOT YOU.
I WILL TRACK DOWN AND DESTROY
EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.
YOU HAVE MY PROMISE.
SO DON'T GET ANY IDEAS OF ANY
KIND OF INVESTIGATION ON YOUR
OWN.
THEY BELONG TO ME.
I'VE TAKEN ENOUGH OF YOUR TIME.
YOU NEED YOUR REST.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS)
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(CHUCKLES)
I'M GLAD YOU CAME.
(SIGHS)
I WAS AFRAID YOU WOULDN'T.
WHY WOULDN'T I?
(CHUCKLES)
I DON'T KNOW. I, UH...
I DIDN'T EXACTLY CALL YOU ON
POLICE BUSINESS.
WELL, THAT'S -- THAT'S GOOD.
I'M STILL ON MEDICAL LEAVE.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN AWFUL.
YOUR PARTNER, I MEAN.
YOU'RE LUCKY IT WASN'T YOU, AS
WELL.
DOES IT STILL HURT?
NO, IT'S FINE.
JUST A SCRAPE.
MUST HAVE BEEN...
SO AWFUL.
(CHUCKLES)
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?
ALICIA.
ALICIA?
YEAH.
I THINK ABOUT HER A LOT.
WONDERING HOW SHE ENDED UP WHERE
SHE ENDED UP.
MM.
LONG STORY.
LIKE EVERYONE'S.
ANY WORD ON WORK AT THE
RIVIERA?
ACTUALLY, YES.
HE'S MEETING MR. LANSKY ON
WEDNESDAY AND HE PROMISED HE'D
BRING IT UP.
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
IT'S ACTUALLY MONEY FOR
MASVIDAL.
BUT THEY SAID YOU COULD DECIDE
WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
GIVE IT TO HIS FAMILY OR KEEP IT
TO YOURSELF.
IT'S THE MONEY HE USED TO GET
EVERY MONTH.
I TOLD YOU.
THEY ARE VERY GENEROUS.
THIS IS WHY?
WHY I'M HERE?
WHY YOU CALLED ME?
FUCKED ME?
STOP IT.
TO DO WITH THEIR MONEY.
(CHUCKLES)
I TOLD THEM THAT'S WHAT YOU'D
I TOLD THEM, "FORGET IT.
THERE'S NO WAY, NOT IN A
MILLION."
BUT THEY INSISTED.
SO HERE I AM, TRYING TO TURN YOU
WHEN I KNOW YOU CAN'T BE TURNED.
EXCEPT...
IF SOMEONE COULD...
IT WOULD BE ME.
MM.
I'M THE ONLY ONE.
IF I REALLY WANTED TO.
MM.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO.
IT'S TIME TO GO.
(SIGHS)
I THINK A LOT ABOUT ALICIA,
TOO.
I THINK ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT IT
COULD HAVE BEEN.
I TRIED TO TELL HER, BUT SHE WAS
SO STUBBORN.
SHE WANTED MORE THAN A SYRINGE.
SHE JUST WOULDN'T LISTEN.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
(TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING)
HEY! LOOK WHO'S BACK!
HOW ARE YOU?
FINE. HOW ARE YOU?
YEAH.
HEY. WELCOME BACK.
HEY, THANKS.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD.
HOW YOU DOING, MAN?
YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR HEAD?
OH, IT'S FINE. IT'S NOTHING.
AH.
(SIGHS)
OH.
JUST WHO I WAS COMING TO SEE.
DETECTIVE, I WANTED TO ASK --
SO, ANY NEWS ON THE MASVIDAL
CASE?
WELL, YEAH, BUT I'M NOT SUPPOSED
NOT SUPPOSED TO WHAT?
CAPTAIN IBANEZ.
HE SAYS SIM IS HANDLING THE CASE
AND HE DOESN'T WANT US TO GET --
I REALLY HAVE TO TAKE A PISS.
YOU KNOW, I'VE PUT MY NAME IN
FOR A PROMOTION, AND I WAS KIND
SO...WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD
ABOUT THE MASVIDAL CASE?
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ, I'M UNDER
ORDERS FROM CAPTAIN IBANEZ.
YEAH.
YOU SEE, I'M -- I'M NOT SO SURE
HE WAS MURDERED BY STUDENTS OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
HE WAS -- HE WAS UP TO
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YET, BUT WHEN
WE FIND OUT, WE MIGHT FIND OUT
WHO KILLED HIM.
SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME?
BUT WE'RE ALL UNDER ORDERS.
FROM SIM.
AND YOU DON'T FUCK WITH THEM.
WE'RE NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN THE
MASVIDAL MURDER CASE.
PROMOTION TO WHAT?
WHAT?
WELL, YOU SAID YOU PUT IN FOR
A PROMOTION.
OH.
YEAH, DETECTIVE.
YOU SAW HOW WELL I HANDLED THE
EVEN DETECTIVE MASVIDAL SAID HE
WAS IMPRESSED.
YEAH, NO, NO.
IT WAS FANTASTIC.
SO, DETECTIVE.
YES.
OKAY.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
CAPABLE OF AS A DETECTIVE.
WELL, I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD
MUCH CHANCE TO.
THE MASVIDAL CASE.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO A LITTLE
DIGGING INTO THE SIM FILES?
YOU'RE ASKING ME TO GO
AGAINST ORDERS.
THEY'VE ARRESTED A STUDENT.
RAFAEL MARTINEZ.
ON WHAT EVIDENCE?
EVIDENCE?
IT'S SIM!
FIND OUT MORE, OKAY?
FIND OUT HOW AND WHY.
GREAT.
I KNOW I CAN COUNT ON YOU.
OKAY, SO, THAT MEANS YOU'LL
PUT IN A WORD FOR ME?
IF ANYONE ASKS, YOU DON'T
KNOW WHERE I AM.
SIM, THE MILITARY POLICE,
TODAY ANNOUNCED A SERIOUS
CRACKDOWN ON ALL STUDENT
STREET PATROLS ARE MONITORING
POPULAR STUDENT RESIDENT AREAS
AND A CURFEW HAS BEEN IMPOSED.
MAMA, I'M HOME.
AND THERE HAS BEEN AN ARREST
IN THE ASSASSINATION OF POLICE
DETECTIVE MASVIDAL.
THE DETECTIVE WAS GUNNED DOWN
ON THE STREET.
A CELL OF FOUR STUDENTS HAS
BEEN IDENTIFIED AS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE PLANNING AND SHOOTING
OF THE DETECTIVE.
THEY ARRESTED ONE OF MY
STUDENTS FOR KILLING MASVIDAL.
BUT HE DIDN'T DO IT.
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.
YOU REMEMBER CARLA.
WE MET AT JUAN'S FUNERAL.
YES. HI.
SHE KNOWS RAFAEL, AS WELL.
RAFAEL?
OKAY, LOOK.
RAFAEL AND I WENT TO THE
NATIONAL ARCHIVE THAT DAY.
THE THURSDAY.
NOW, THERE'S NO MORE CLASSES,
BUT I STILL HELP STUDENTS WITH
THEIR THESES, AND RAFAEL NEEDED
SOME HELP SENDING OUT SOME
DOCUMENTS BY MARTES.
SEE?
HIS SIGNATURE.
RAFAEL MARTINEZ.
THE TIME HE SIGNED IN, THE TIME
HE SIGNED OUT.
9:00 A.M., 3:00 P.M.
MASVIDAL WAS SHOT AT 11:15.
RAFAEL WAS THERE AT THE
ARCHIVES.
YOU SAW HIM?
NO, I DIDN'T.
I DID.
(SIGHS)
THIS IS THE ACTUAL PAPER?
NO ONE'S TAMPERED WITH THIS.
NO ONE HAS TOUCHED IT.
IT'S TRUE.
HE DIDN'T DO IT. I KNOW IT.
I JUST KNOW IT.
(SIGHS)
YOU DON'T BELIEVE US.
LUIS, I DO BELIEVE YOU, OKAY?
BUT I'M NOT JUST YOUR BROTHER.
I'M A POLICE OFFICER.
I HAVE TO DO THINGS THE PROPER
IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA BE
ABLE TO HELP YOUR FRIEND.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
ENTER.
WELL, WHAT DID I TELL YOU,
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ?
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE MINE,
AND NOW THEY ARE.
WE GOT THE TRIGGERMAN.
BY TOMORROW, WE'LL HAVE THE
REST.
THE ENTIRE CELL.
RAFAEL MARTINEZ?
THE TRIGGERMAN.
CAPTAIN, I'M SORRY, BUT...
RAFAEL MARTINEZ SIGNED OUT THESE
RESEARCH PAPERS AND WAS SEEN
THROUGHOUT THURSDAY IN THE
NATIONAL ARCHIVES.
THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS HIS
SIGNATURE AND THE ARCHIVIST AS
WITNESS.
I EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU NOT TO
GET INVOLVED, DIDN'T I?
WELL, I WASN'T GETTING
INVOLVED.
WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?
IT WAS BROUGHT TO ME.
BROUGHT TO YOU?
YES.
BY WHOM?
BY A PROFESSOR WORKING WITH
THE STUDENT.
UNIVERSITY IS CLOSED.
NO PROFESSOR SHOULD BE INVOLVED
WITH THE STUDENTS.
NO DOUBT HE'S PROBABLY A
RINGLEADER IN ALL OF THIS AND
PROBABLY TOO SMART TO GET HIS
HANDS DIRTY.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
WE'LL BRING HIM IN, TOO.
(SIGHS)
WHAT IS THE PROFESSOR'S NAME,
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ?
I JUST GAVE YOU NEW EVIDENCE
THAT, IN THE VERY LEAST --
PROFESSOR LUIS VÉLEZ, WOULD IT?
I'M JUST TRYING TO ESTABLISH
WHO ACTUALLY PULLED THE TRIGGER.
WHO ACTUALLY --
WHO ACTUALLY PULLED THE
TRIGGER DOESN'T MATTER.
WHAT MATTERS -- WE'RE AT WAR.
AND THERE'S AN ARMY OUT THERE
SET TO DESTROY EVERYTHING WE
HOLD DEAR, AND THEY MUST BE
AND GETTING WAYLAID BY THE
SPECIFICS OF WHO ACTUALLY DID
WHAT IS HOW WE'LL LOSE THE WAR.
DON'T YOU SEE HOW YOUR
INTERFERENCE IN ALL THIS LIKE
THIS ONLY FEEDS THEM?
I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
WHAT'S RIGHT, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT THEY WANT.
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T
MEAN TO -- AND I REALLY BELIEVE
YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO -- YOU'RE
ACTUALLY HELPING THEM, WHICH IS
WHY I MUST TRY TO STOP YOU.
DON'T YOU SEE THERE'S NO
IN BETWEEN?
IT'S THEM OR US.
THANK YOU.
DETECTIVE VÉLEZ.
PLEASE TELL YOUR BROTHER WE'RE
NOT GULLIBLE OR STUPID.
AND YOU, DETECTIVE, SHOULDN'T
FALL FOR SUCH AN OBVIOUS RUSE.
OH, I MEAN, I COULD DRAG HIM IN
HERE AND THEN REALLY MAKE HIM
LECTURE.
BUT AS A FAVOR TO YOU, I WON'T.
INSTEAD, I'LL RELY ON YOU TO
TALK TO HIM AND TO EXPLAIN TO
HIM THE REALITY OF THE
SITUATION.
HAVE A NICE DAY.
DETECTIVE!
DETECTIVE, SIR!
SEÑORA, PARDONAME.
I'M SORRY, BUT THERE'S NOTHING
NEW.
MY SON -- MY SON.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
YES.
HE DIDN'T DO IT!
LINO.
ANYTHING HAPPENING?
SIM HAD US RUN BALLISTICS ON
I THINK THEY FOUND THE MATCH,
BUT I'M NOT SURE.
BUT ONCE IT'S DONE, I'M THE ONE
WHO GETS TO SEND THE REPORT OVER
OH, AND, FINALLY CAME UP WITH AN
ADDRESS FOR SOL EXPORTACION.
DOWN AT THE HARBOR. JUST OPENED.
GOOD WORK.
OH.
AND YOU'LL LET ME KNOW THE
MINUTE THE BALLISTICS REPORT --
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
BUT, I MEAN (SCOFFS) SIM'S
FAMOUS FOR RIGGING THINGS.
I MEAN, THEY'LL JUST USE THIS
TO PROVE WHATEVER THEY WANT.
THAT GUN MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE ANY
CONNECTION WITH THIS RAFAEL KID,
BUT THEY'LL JUST INVENT IT.
SO, IT MAY NOT MEAN ANYTHING IN
TERMS OF ACTUALLY --
(DOOR OPENS)
(CLEARS THROAT)
HELLO, SIR.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE FROM
CAPTAIN CALZADO.
AND EARLIER I GOT AN OFFICIAL
MEMO FROM
MINISTER PEREZ DE COBO.
NEITHER WERE VERY PLEASED.
WELL, I NEEDED TO TALK TO THE
MINISTER'S SON.
WHAT POSSIBLE BUSINESS --
I JUST -- I NEEDED TO ASK HIM
A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT
ALICIA PALMIRA AND --
THE CASE IS CLOSED.
LEAVE IT ALONE.
BUT I WAS GIVEN INFORMATION
THAT MIGHT CLEAR UP SOME LOOSE
IT'S STANDARD PROCEDURE TO
THE KILLER IS IN CUSTODY.
OR DOESN'T STANDARD PROCEDURE
AND HE GOES AND PESTERS A
GODDAMN CABINET MINISTER!
NO MORE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

EVEN WITH THIS BRIGHT, YOUNG
FATHER/SON, BY THE BOOK.
YOU GO OFF HALF-COCKED, STIRRING
UP ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.
WELL, YOU BELIEVE IN STANDARD
YOU WILL TAKE ORDERS FROM ME AND
YOU WILL FOLLOW ORDERS FROM ME.
THERE IS NONE MORE STANDARD.
YES, SIR.
I'M SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE.
(SIGHS)
YOU MUST HAVE SUFFERED SOME
TRAUMA IN THAT CAR.
I THINK I'M PERFECTLY FINE,
THEN WHY HAVE YOU PISSED OFF TWO
OF THE MOST POWERFUL MEN IN
CUBA, HUH?
(SIGHS)
CASE IS CLOSED.
THIS YOURS?
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.
I KEEP TELLING YOU DON'T
THE COPS DON'T CARE, AS LONG AS
THEY GET THEIR CUT.
BUT THAT WAS WITH MASVIDAL.
IT'S NOT THE SAME.
IT IS THE SAME.
FEEL A LOT BETTER.
(ENGINE TURNS OVER)
RAFAEL DIDN'T DO IT!
HEY!
KEEP IT DOWN.
WELL, WE KNOW HE DIDN'T.
YEAH, AND THE MORE YOU SAY
IT, THE MORE THEY SUSPECT YOU.
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA SIT BACK
WHEN I KNOW THE TRUTH.
LUIS, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S NOTHING, MAMA.
IT'S OKAY. IT'S JUST --
JUST THE USUAL.
WHEN WILL YOU TWO LEARN?
LOOK, IT'S A LONG SHOT, I
BUT...MAYBE IF -- IF THE
BALLISTICS REPORT REPRESENTS
REAL EVIDENCE --
SIM WON'T LET REAL EVIDENCE
INTERFERE WITH A CASE, OKAY?
THEY'LL JUST PIN IT ON WHOEVER
LUIS, IF YOU KEEP THIS UP,
THEY WILL COME AFTER YOU, AND I
WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.
THEN THEY'LL USE YOU TO GET AT
ME...AND MAMA.
THEY WON'T STOP TILL THEY
DESTROY EVERYTHING IN THEIR
SO WHAT? DO NOTHING?
BECOME COMPLICIT?
I'M SORRY. I --
I CAN'T DO THAT.
(HORN HONKS)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
(HORNS HONKING)
THANK YOU.
(CUP RATTLING)
(COIN CLINKS)
(LAUGHTER)
IT'S TRUE!
CURTAIN IS IN 10, LADIES.
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
(INDISTINCT TALKING)
LUIS, ALREADY PARKED THE CAR.
IT'S GOOD.
(CHUCKLES)
LOOK WHO IT IS.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AWHILE.
SO, YOU KNOW
JACINTO PEREZ DE COBO?
I'VE ONLY MET HIM A COUPLE OF
TIMES.
WHEN HE WAS HANGING AROUND WITH
AND YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
SINCE?
NO.
I HAVE SEEN HIM.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
MORETTI ASKED ME TO KEEP HIM
COMPANY.
ENTERTAIN HIM, YOU KNOW?
GO OUT WITH HIM.
ANOTHER FAVOR?
SO, JACINTO'S THE ONE WHO KILLED
HE'S THE ONE WHO SHOULDN'T GET
AWAY WITH IT.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE'S A FAVOR?
WHY IS MORETTI SO INTERESTED IN
JACINTO?
I DON'T KNOW.
HAS HE GOT SOMETHING ON HIM?
I NEVER ASK QUESTIONS.
SOMETHING TO DO WITH ALICIA?
THAT WAY I NEVER HAVE TO
ANSWER ANY.
LOOK.
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT I DON'T
KNOW, AND, BELIEVE ME, I MAKE IT
MY BUSINESS NOT TO KNOW.
NO, THAT IS BULLSHIT.
YOU WERE THERE.
YOU SAW IT.
JACINTO AND ALICIA AND THE
HEROIN.
YOU KNEW ALL ALONG, AND NOW YOU
WANT YOUR REVENGE ON JACINTO,
BUT YOU CAN'T UPSET MORETTI,
RIGHT?
SO, JUST STOP IT WITH THE LIES.
TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW.
WHAT ARE THEY REALLY
EXPORTING WITH THAT COFFEE?
HEROIN.
LOOK.
I HAVE TO GO.
(HORN HONKS)
WITH JACINTO, I-IT WAS JUST --
JUST BUSINESS?
BUT IN CERTAIN CASES, IT'S
MORE THAN JUST BUSINESS.
CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
YEAH.
CAN YOU?
SEBASTIANO.
HEY.
HOW ARE YOU?
SO, THAT BALLISTICS REPORT?
IT WENT STRAIGHT TO IBANEZ.
AND YOU -- YOU DIDN'T SEE IT?
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THEY MADE A
MATCH OR...
YEAH. THEY DID.
AND?
WHOSE WAS IT?
IT MADE A MATCH TO A GUN
OWNED BY CARLOS LEON.
SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE
GONNA MATCH THAT GUN TO THAT
STUDENT THAT THEY PICKED UP,
RAFAEL.
I MEAN, THIS GUY IS AN ENGINEER.
HE'S A BIG SHOT AT SHELL.
DOESN'T GET MUCH CLEANER.
HAS THE REPORT GONE TO
IT'S GONE STRAIGHT TO IBANEZ,
BUT HE'LL SEND IT RIGHT OVER.
THIS IS VERY GOOD.
CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
OKAY, SO, YOU'LL PUT IN THAT
RECOMMENDATION FOR ME.
WELL, THE WAY THINGS ARE
RECOMMENDATION FROM ME WILL
HELP.
DETECTIVE.
(DOOR OPENS)
(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)
IMPOSSIBLE!
WELL, WE HAVE THE GUN.
BALLISTICS DON'T LIE.
I WASN'T EVEN IN HAVANA THAT
WEEK.
I WAS IN SANTA CLARA
FOR MEETINGS.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE HAVE ACCESS
IT'S AN ANTIQUE.
A COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
IT STILL WORKS?
YES, BUT IT'S NOT BEEN FIRED
I ONLY TAKE IT OUT ONCE IN
AWHILE TO CLEAN IT.
(SIGHS)
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
IT WAS THERE WHEN I LEFT.
AND IT WAS THERE WHEN I CAME
BACK.
COULD THERE BE SOME MIX-UP IN
THE BALLISTICS?
IS THIS YOUR DAUGHTER?
WHAT?
WELL, YEAH. WHY?
W-WHAT?
(TIRES SQUEAL)
(TIRES SCREECH)
(ENGINE TURNS OVER)
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
IT'S NOT IN HER.
I MEAN, SHE WOULD NEVER.
YOU SURE?
WELL, I KNOW HER AS MUCH AS
SHE'S POLITICAL.
SHE'S GONE TO RALLIES, BUT TO
SEE, I DON'T THINK IT HAD
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE STUDENT
I THINK IT INVOLVED LANSKY AND
THE RIVIERA MOB.
MASVIDAL WAS TIED IN WITH THESE
SO, IT WAS A SETUP BY
CALZADO.
WE STILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO
WELL, WE CAN'T TRUST CALZADO.
SHE'S ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
LUIS?
WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
COME IN.
ALL RIGHT.
SIM IS TAKING YOUR FATHER
INTO CUSTODY FOR QUESTIONING,
FOR THE MURDER OF
DETECTIVE MASVIDAL.
(SIGHS)
THEY DOCTORED THE BALLISTICS
REPORT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOUR
FATHER'S GUN.
YOU SAID HE WAS AWAY, RIGHT, SO
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.
WHICH WOULD HAVE LED THEM TO
HIS DAUGHTER, A STUDENT, WHO'S
FRIENDS WITH RAFAEL MARTINEZ.
HE HAD ACCESS TO THE GUN.
AND FROM YOU TO YOUR
PROFESSOR.
NO.
NO. LUIS KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT.
HE --
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
HE DIDN'T --
(SNIFFLES)
HE HAD NOTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
JUST SAY IT.
(CRYING)
YOU SHOT HIM?
YOU TOOK YOUR FATHER'S GUN
(SOBBING)
LUIS, DID YOU KNOW?
NO, HE DIDN'T KNOW.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
NO, STOP, STOP.
WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER,
I WON'T GO.
I'D RATHER DIE.
(SIGHS)
KILL ME.
WHAT?
KILL ME.
HEY! DROP IT!
CARLA! CARLA, STOP!
CARLA, DON'T!
CARLA, STOP!
PUT IT DOWN!
LET GO!
CARLA!
LUIS, GET IT!
NO!
(SOBBING)
CARLA, COME ON. LET'S GO.
THERE'S LITTLE TIME.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA STOP US
NOT YOU.
HER.
OKAY? I HAVE NO CHOICE.
A MINUTE AGO, YOU SAID YOU
WERE GONNA HELP HER ESCAPE.
'CAUSE A MINUTE AGO, SHE WAS
INNOCENT.
WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA SHOOT ME?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT
THEY'RE GONNA DO TO HER?
SHE KILLED MASVIDAL.
OKAY? THAT BULLET HIT ME.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME.
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
JUST WALK AWAY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INVOLVED.
I'M ALREADY INVOLVED!
YOU INVOLVED ME.
AND ME?
THEY'RE GONNA COME AND FIND ME.
(TIRES SQUEAL)
(TIRES SCREECH)
IT'S --
SIM?
CALZADO?
IT'S TOO LATE.
LUIS, GIVE ME THE GUN.
NO.
DON'T MAKE IT WORSE.
THERE'S ANOTHER WAY.
THE BACK.
PLEASE, RUBÉN.
GUILTY OR INNOCENT, WHAT
DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
(SIGHS)
HEY. COME ON.
GET IN THE BACK.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
(ENGINE TURNS OVER)
I SHOULD GO WITH HER.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME HERE.
WHERE?
YOU KNOW SOMEWHERE?
A SAFE HOUSE?
THEY'VE ALL BEEN CHANGED OR
EXPOSED.
I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THE NEW
PLACES.
THEY --
THEY STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH
ME.
THEY KNEW IT WAS ME WHO DID IT,
THAT I'D DONE IT ON MY OWN, SO
THEY CUT ME OUT.
JUST STOPPED.
AND NOW I'M ON THE OUTSIDE WITH
NO ONE.
NO.
NO, NO, NO. WE CAN HIDE YOU.
ANY IDEAS?
THERE'S A GROUP IN
SANTA CLARA.
IF WE COULD REACH THEM...
WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU OUT OF
HAVANA.
EVERY ROAD IS BLOCKED.
TRAIN STATION, BUS DEPOTS.
EVERYWHERE.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
(GRUNTING)
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)
STAY DOWN.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
HEY! YOU!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
HEY! THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY!
DETECTIVE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN HELP
YOU WITH?
YOUR COFFEE.
IT'S BEEN SIGNED FOR.
IT'S CLEARED CUSTOMS.
OH, YEAH?
SO, IF I WAS TO CUT OPEN SOME OF
YOUR CARGO...WHAT ELSE WOULD I
FIND IN IT BESIDES COFFEE?
LET'S TALK.
THIS IS A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS.
I AM THE SON OF A CABINET
MINISTER FOR BATISTA.
YOU'RE SMUGGLING HEROIN
FOR MORETTI.
ARE YOU CRAZY?
WHY WOULD I BE INVOLVED IN SUCH
A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THE
CORPSE OF A YOUNG WOMAN.
YOU FED ALICIA THAT HEROIN.
YOU KILLED HER.
SO, MORETTI DISPOSES OF THE
YOU SMUGGLE HIS HEROIN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WE HAVE TRIED TO DO BUSINESS
YOU'RE IN FOR A REASONABLE CUT.
THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE WAY.
NO. NO, NO. NONE OF THAT.
NO MONEY. NO CUTS.
A FAVOR.
I HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO NEED TO
GET OUT OF HAVANA TONIGHT.
YOU SHIP THEM OUT, NO QUESTIONS
ASKED, AND I'LL ASK NO MORE
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR OPERATION.
THEN I SHOULD REALLY CHECK
WITH MORETTI.
UNH-UNH.
THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
I JUST DON'T THINK THAT'S
POSSIBLE.
AND WHY IS THAT?
BECAUSE I'M RIGHT HERE,
DETECTIVE.
(LAUGHS)
WE SAW YOUR FRIENDS OUTSIDE IN
THE CAR.
THEY LOOKED LONELY, SO WE
INVITED THEM IN.
COME ON.
(LAUGHS)
WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL.
I KNEW I WAS RIGHT.
EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR PRICE.
EXCEPT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOURS WAS, BUT HERE WE ARE,
READY TO DO BUSINESS.
I COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED.
SO, WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT
THIS PRECIOUS CARGO OF YOURS
GETS DELIVERED FAR OUTSIDE THE
REACH OF THE LAW.
IS THAT THE DEAL?
HMM?
BUT WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR HIM
TO GET THE TWO OF YOU OUT OF
HAVANA TONIGHT?
BUT DON'T WORRY.
NO ONE'S EVER GONNA KNOW HOW YOU
MADE YOUR ESCAPE.
OR THAT YOU WERE HELPED BY
POLICE DETECTIVE VÉLEZ, BECAUSE
HE'S GONNA MAKE SURE THAT THIS
COFFEE-EXPORTING BUSINESS IS
ALWAYS GONNA RUN SMOOTHLY.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED EITHER WAY.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY,
DETECTIVE.
(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
IT'S GONNA BE A PLEASURE DOING
BUSINESS WITH YOU, DETECTIVE.
SO, NOW, LET'S US GET OUT OF
HERE.
AND LET THESE PEOPLE GET ON WITH
THE BUSINESS OF THE NIGHT.
JULIANA, SWEETHEART, I PROMISED
YOU, RIGHT?
I PROMISED THAT IF HE TOOK THE
DEAL, YOU'D GET TO DANCE AT THE
COPA.
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
HE TOOK THE DEAL.
(GUN COCKS)
HOLD ON.
LUIS.
THIS ISN'T FINISHED YET.
NO, DON'T!
LUIS, NO!
WELL.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?
KILL ME?
YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL US BOTH.
JUST PUT IT DOWN.
I'D LISTEN TO HIM IF I WERE
YOU, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY --
HE'S IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL.
AND SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HIM.
JULIANA, TELL THIS GUY HOW MUCH
THE DETECTIVE MEANS TO YOU.
HUH? LOOK AT THEM!
CAN'T YOU SEE?
I DON'T THINK HE'D WANT YOU TO
HE WON'T THANK YOU FOR IT.
DETECTIVE, TELL THIS GUY WHAT
JULIANA MEANS TO YOU.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
JUST LET IT GO.
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT YOU TWO GET
AND THEN HE HAS YOU IN HIS
POCKET FOREVER.
YOUR WHOLE CAREER.
YOU WERE RIGHT, OKAY?
WHEN ALL OF SOCIETY IS FUCKED,
YOU JUST GOT TO PLAY ALONG.
HE'S RIGHT, MY FRIEND.
THAT'S HOW IT IS.
JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN.
LUIS.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GASPS)
LOOK OUT!
(GUNSHOT)
(GROANS)
DOWN!
(GUNSHOT)
(GROANS)
(GUNSHOTS)
HEY. HEY. HEY. SHH.
(GASPING)
SHH.
WE HAVE TO GO.
IT'S ALMOST DAWN.
DROP THEM OFF DOWN THE COAST.
ONE MORE THING.
I NEED A LETTER FROM YOUR
FATHER, CLEARING RAFAEL MARTINEZ
AND THE OTHERS OF MASVIDAL'S
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, DETECTIVE.
AND THERE'S AN INNOCENT MAN
ROTTING IN PRISON FOR HIS
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW HE DIDN'T DO
IT.
MAKE SURE HE'S RELEASED.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO --
LOOK, MORETTI OWNED YOU.
AND GUESS WHAT.
NOW I OWN YOU.
(TELEPHONE RINGS)
DETECTIVE, YOU'RE REALLY
BEGINNING TO GET ON MY NERVES.
JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
WALKING IN HERE?
THE RELEASE OF RAFAEL MARTINEZ
AND FOUR OTHERS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU MANAGED
THIS, BUT YOU'LL OVERSTEP YOUR
BOUNDS ONCE TOO OFTEN.
WHEN YOU DO, I'LL BE THERE
WAITING.
(CHUCKLES)
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO'S
OVERSTEPPED WHICH BOUNDS.
(DOOR SLAMS)
THOSE CHARGED IN THE DEATH OF
POLICE DETECTIVE MASVIDAL --
RAFAEL MARTINEZ, JORGE GONZALEZ,
DANIEL BERMUDEZ, SERGIO BARRIOS,
MANUEL GOMEZ.
YOU'RE FREE TO GO.
RAFAEL?
