WEBVTT 00:07.590 --> 00:08.967 The year was 1980, 00:09.050 --> 00:10.593 and the guerrilla group M-19 00:10.677 --> 00:13.513 was taking over the Dominican embassy in Bogotá. 00:14.264 --> 00:17.058 Meanwhile, the Soviet Union was hosting the Olympic Games, 00:17.142 --> 00:19.561 and the United States was boycotting them. 00:20.311 --> 00:23.106 Movie theaters were playing American Gigolo, 00:23.648 --> 00:24.566 The Shining, 00:25.233 --> 00:26.568 and Fame. 00:27.402 --> 00:30.530 That was the year Alfonso Flores won the Tour de l'Avenir. 00:31.281 --> 00:34.659 And Umberto Eco published The Name of the Rose. 00:35.493 --> 00:38.621 It was also the year Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham died, 00:38.705 --> 00:41.041 and John Lennon was murdered in New York. 00:41.958 --> 00:44.627 The Tribe was still living in 364, 00:44.711 --> 00:47.505 which was now home to Pabón's experimental theater group. 00:47.589 --> 00:50.383 They were influenced and inspired by Antonin Artaud, 00:50.467 --> 00:53.219 particularly his book The Theatre and Its Double, 00:53.303 --> 00:56.890 which emphasized something called "anthropological dramaturgy." 01:00.852 --> 01:03.730 Salcedo was still working as a DJ in the salsa club. 01:03.813 --> 01:08.068 And although he was still having a passionate affair with Madame White, 01:08.151 --> 01:10.403 he claimed he had his habit under control. 01:10.487 --> 01:12.655 Come on!

You think you can get away? 11:16.467 --> 11:18.386 We're in public! Knock it off! 11:26.352 --> 11:28.020 When Luisa and Arbeláez left, 11:28.104 --> 11:31.023 I was suddenly faced with all these unanswered questions. 11:31.107 --> 11:34.235 Then I remembered that, once, in Professor Adolfo's class, 11:34.318 --> 11:36.070 we had read a passage by his favorite author, 11:36.153 --> 11:37.196 Friedrich Nietzsche, 11:37.279 --> 11:39.824 which was all about departures and separations. 11:40.324 --> 11:42.660 But when I looked for the book, The Birth of Tragedy, 11:42.743 --> 11:45.079 I came face to face with the philosopher himself. 11:45.162 --> 11:47.957 -What's up, kid? Hey. -Dad, what-- 11:48.040 --> 11:50.209 The worst a person can do is abandon their tribe or herd, 11:50.292 --> 11:52.294 or what has come to be known as "the family." 11:52.378 --> 11:55.047 -Why are you dressed like that? -Individualization is separation. 11:55.131 --> 11:56.841 -And separation is agony. -Huh? 11:56.924 --> 11:59.635 The yearning for inclusion will always be part of the human condition. 11:59.718 --> 12:02.263 We long to be part of a herd or a group of some kind. 12:02.346 --> 12:04.181 We come together for parties and events. 12:04.265 --> 12:06.726 We try to become one with each other through intercourse. 12:06.809 --> 12:10.104 Those pleasures are short-lived and, ultimately, insufficient. 12:10.187 --> 12:13.899 Well, but don't you, uh… think separation is inevitable, or… 12:14.817 --> 12:15.693 According to whom? 12:15.776 --> 12:18.487 -According to history, Marx, Engels-- -Ah, you little fool! 12:18.571 --> 12:20.448 I ought to give you a good thrashing. 12:20.531 --> 12:23.951 Life isn't governed by order, not by evolution or progress. No, sir. 12:24.034 --> 12:27.163 It's just a series of random events, utterly devoid of coherence. 12:27.246 --> 12:30.541 In the words of William Shakespeare, life is "a tale told by an idiot, 12:30.624 --> 12:33.294 full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." 12:33.377 --> 12:34.295 Okay, so… 12:34.378 --> 12:37.673 So… from the herd to the tribe, from the tribe to the couple, 12:37.757 --> 12:42.052 from the couple to the separation of all single units from the whole. 12:42.136 --> 12:45.097 And that is true loneliness. 12:45.181 --> 12:47.391 Sorry to be gloomy, but you're talking to a nihilist. 12:47.475 --> 12:49.602 Oh, Dad, come on. You're a nihilist? Really? 12:49.685 --> 12:51.312 -I still don't know why-- -Camilo. 12:51.395 --> 12:52.771 What is it? 12:52.855 --> 12:54.356 What are you doing? 12:54.857 --> 12:57.109 -Just waiting for you. -Ah. 13:06.327 --> 13:09.205 Fortunately, Luisa went to live with Toña and Arbeláez 13:09.288 --> 13:10.873 in La Nueva Santa Fe, 13:10.956 --> 13:14.293 an apartment complex which was really close to the 364, 13:14.376 --> 13:16.795 which meant I could come visit the baby practically every day. 13:16.879 --> 13:19.048 Everybody, take a seat. The food's ready. 13:19.548 --> 13:23.052 -Oh yeah, finally, food's here! -I made pasta. 13:23.135 --> 13:24.804 -Yes, ma'am! -Sh! 13:24.887 --> 13:26.680 Guys, quiet down. Seriously, okay? 13:26.764 --> 13:29.058 She's finally asleep. I was worried she'd be up all night. 13:29.141 --> 13:31.519 -Looks great. -She's like a wind-up doll. 13:31.602 --> 13:33.896 Have you decided what to do with the empty room yet? 13:33.979 --> 13:36.065 Well, since you left, we can rent it, right? 13:36.148 --> 13:37.274 Sh! 13:38.192 --> 13:41.195 We could make some cash to help with bills and utilities and all that. 13:41.278 --> 13:45.115 Yeah, but bringing someone new into the 364 could be a disaster. 13:45.199 --> 13:47.618 Come on, I don't think bringing one more person into the house 13:47.701 --> 13:49.411 is gonna change stuff for us, is it? 13:49.495 --> 13:50.746 So I agree with you all the way. 13:50.829 --> 13:52.206 I think we rent the room out 13:52.289 --> 13:54.917 and get a little extra cash from our new houseguest. 13:55.000 --> 13:56.919 Wait. Pabón's got a point here. 13:57.002 --> 13:59.380 'Cause, well, bringing a stranger into the house, 13:59.463 --> 14:00.965 that can be like playing the lottery. 14:01.048 --> 14:04.260 Then we look for someone we already know. Simple as that. Done. 14:04.343 --> 14:05.844 I don't know. What's your opinion? 14:05.928 --> 14:08.806 Well, I mean, it's a decision that affects the whole house. 14:08.889 --> 14:10.599 -Exactly. -That means we should vote on it. 14:10.683 --> 14:13.143 -Cool. I'm voting yes. -Yeah, same here. 14:13.227 --> 14:14.061 I vote no. 14:14.144 --> 14:16.438 I think we'd be better off turning that room into, um… 14:16.522 --> 14:17.940 into a guest room or a study. 14:18.023 --> 14:20.734 Yeah, that makes sense. I vote for that. Much better idea. 14:21.777 --> 14:22.820 Your turn, Eva. 14:22.903 --> 14:24.321 Final vote. 14:25.823 --> 14:27.533 I think we should rent the room out. 14:27.616 --> 14:30.077 -Hell yeah! -And that's that. 14:30.160 --> 14:32.246 I guess we know who calls the shots. 14:32.329 --> 14:34.081 Perfect. 14:34.164 --> 14:36.250 -We know who wears the pants. -Yes. 14:43.632 --> 14:45.551 -Hey, Guillermo. How are you? -Sorry for the wait. 14:45.634 --> 14:47.845 But there are rumors the M-19 is gonna be on the attack. 14:47.928 --> 14:49.805 Our team is trying to figure out what's going on. 14:49.889 --> 14:50.723 Oh. 14:50.806 --> 14:53.517 Get me the media services desk at the Presidency of the Republic. 14:53.601 --> 14:56.020 Don't worry. I'm not gonna take that much of your time, okay? 14:56.103 --> 14:57.021 Okay, go on. 14:57.104 --> 14:58.063 I wanna submit an essay 14:58.147 --> 15:00.900 for your newspaper's supplemental literary periodical. 15:00.983 --> 15:04.403 Well, actually, it's part of a study I've been working on. "Self-narratives." 15:04.486 --> 15:06.488 It's my favorite project at school. 15:06.572 --> 15:07.573 What's it about? 15:08.073 --> 15:09.283 Abigaíl Mejía. 15:09.366 --> 15:12.244 She was an unsung Dominican literary critic and writer. 15:12.745 --> 15:15.164 Back in the early '30s, she wrote Feminist Ideology, 15:15.247 --> 15:17.082 a pioneering text of the movement. 15:17.166 --> 15:18.042 Interesting. 15:18.125 --> 15:19.710 -Yes. Very. -Excuse me. Uh, sir? 15:20.544 --> 15:22.338 -Oh. Oh, hey. -What's up? 15:22.421 --> 15:23.756 Didn't know you were here. 15:24.465 --> 15:27.801 Suddenly, it felt like Eva and I were out of sync or something. 15:27.885 --> 15:29.929 First, she decided not to support me 15:30.012 --> 15:33.807 when we voted on the issue of renting out the spare bedroom at the 364. 15:33.891 --> 15:36.644 And then, one day, I ran into her in my boss's office, 15:36.727 --> 15:40.064 and I found out she never told me she was planning on submitting her essay 15:40.147 --> 15:42.775 to the newspaper's Arts and Culture supplement. 15:43.734 --> 15:45.653 Was it a communication problem 15:46.362 --> 15:48.197 or something else? 15:48.697 --> 15:50.282 Was I supposed to ask her? 15:50.783 --> 15:53.243 Or was I just making a mountain out of a molehill, 15:53.327 --> 15:55.954 like I had done so many times before? 16:01.794 --> 16:03.837 I don't understand what the problem is. 16:04.338 --> 16:06.590 In the new apartment, with Luisa and Arbeláez, 16:06.674 --> 16:08.926 we made a plan to find a person that one of us knows. 16:09.009 --> 16:11.095 Snorting lines with someone doesn't mean you know them. 16:11.178 --> 16:12.763 Wait. No, no. Hang on, man. 16:12.846 --> 16:15.599 Trust me. I know her a lot better than you think, brother. 16:16.100 --> 16:18.560 Hey, don't forget, this is the woman who cured my depression. 16:18.644 --> 16:20.729 -Right? -Yeah. I just don't get the problem. 16:20.813 --> 16:24.441 Vandalia's pretty nice. Come on. She'd be perfect for the empty room. 16:24.525 --> 16:28.487 I'm sure you'd love to have your own personal dealer in the house. 16:28.570 --> 16:30.197 Oh, I'm shocked, Paboncito. 16:30.280 --> 16:33.575 You rehearse your experimental plays in our backyard. We keep our mouths shut. 16:33.659 --> 16:36.120 -Okay, easy. -Whoa! Bringing out the dirty laundry. 16:36.203 --> 16:38.580 Relax. We're looking for another rehearsal space. 16:38.664 --> 16:39.957 -Cool it. -Take it easy. 16:40.040 --> 16:43.335 -I don't think we need more problems here. -I'm with Granados on this one. 16:43.419 --> 16:45.129 Why don't we do this democratically? 16:45.212 --> 16:46.547 Vote? Again? 16:47.506 --> 16:51.760 Welcome to the official congress of the Republic of the 364. 16:51.844 --> 16:54.096 What, you got a better idea, Pabón? 16:54.179 --> 16:55.389 All right, I vote no. 16:55.973 --> 16:58.642 -I vote we take time to think about it. -Really? 16:58.726 --> 17:01.145 -Okay, no. I'll go with Pabón. I vote no. -The noes have it. 17:01.228 --> 17:03.522 No, no. That means we're two and two. You're the final vote. 17:03.605 --> 17:05.524 -Okay, no. -Uh… 17:06.650 --> 17:07.901 Well, I don't really want 17:07.985 --> 17:10.779 to have the responsibility of being the only woman. 17:10.863 --> 17:13.407 And plus, I don't mind Vandalia much, so I'm voting yes. 17:13.490 --> 17:16.827 There you go, Samper! Samper for president! 17:16.910 --> 17:19.371 I took that second electoral defeat in silence. 17:19.455 --> 17:20.330 I didn't say anything 17:20.414 --> 17:23.500 because I was a little stunned and I needed time to process things. 17:23.584 --> 17:26.962 But, little did I know, a new conflict was about to explode. 17:27.046 --> 17:27.880 Huh? 17:28.672 --> 17:31.091 What the hell? That fucking prick! 17:31.967 --> 17:32.926 No. 17:35.971 --> 17:37.514 -Hey, dude. -Yo. 17:38.015 --> 17:39.099 What are you doing in here? 17:39.183 --> 17:41.560 When Ismael sees you left your post, he's gonna fire your ass. 17:41.643 --> 17:44.688 No, no, no. It's… it's fine. We're good. He only shows on the weekends. 17:45.189 --> 17:48.150 -I want to talk to you for a second. -About what? 17:49.902 --> 17:51.111 Hmm? Read it already? 17:52.071 --> 17:53.489 Yep. You better read it too. 17:53.572 --> 17:56.241 Ooh, no, brother. Give me a summary. It's pretty thick. 17:56.325 --> 17:58.202 Okay, sure. Well, here it goes. 17:58.285 --> 18:00.454 According to our buddy, little Mr. Granados, 18:00.537 --> 18:05.000 we are a group of stupid, poor, self-absorbed, and immoral party animals. 18:05.084 --> 18:06.001 -Mm. -Are you serious? 18:06.085 --> 18:08.170 You know what? Just read it. 18:08.253 --> 18:11.799 Skim the first couple of pages. You'll see what I'm talking about, brother. 18:12.466 --> 18:14.927 But, hey, I'm warning you, the character based on you 18:15.010 --> 18:18.806 has an intense, passionate affair with another member of our crew. 18:18.889 --> 18:19.890 Pabón. 18:19.973 --> 18:22.142 It's pretty good. You should read it. 18:23.060 --> 18:23.894 I'll leave it. 18:35.781 --> 18:37.491 Camilo, I gotta say, I'm very disappointed 18:37.574 --> 18:39.868 with the way you characterized us in your novel, son. 18:39.952 --> 18:43.080 Think you're being accurate here? Let's see. "Soon I realized that my…" 18:43.163 --> 18:45.541 "…my father could be both highly authoritarian 18:45.624 --> 18:46.792 and intransigent one moment, 18:46.875 --> 18:49.336 and the next, would indulge in anachronistic 18:49.419 --> 18:51.213 and superstitious religious fanaticism." 18:51.296 --> 18:53.507 -Is that what you think of me? -No, of course I don't. 18:53.590 --> 18:57.010 -José, you know that's kind of realistic. -Look, this is really serious, Ana. 18:57.094 --> 18:58.929 I didn't say it wasn't. Relax. 18:59.012 --> 19:01.056 Dad, for God's sake. It's literature. It's fiction. 19:01.139 --> 19:03.809 Uh, I… I took poetic license and changed the names too. 19:03.892 --> 19:06.895 -Oh, really? So explain why it says here… -That's just what the-- 19:06.979 --> 19:09.773 "In his promising debut, Camilo Granados offers us…" 19:09.857 --> 19:11.275 -"…an autobiographical novel…" -Yeah. 19:11.358 --> 19:12.901 -"…with heart and raw sincerity." -But-- 19:12.985 --> 19:14.653 -"Autobiographical." -No. I get it. 19:14.736 --> 19:17.906 The publisher writes the jacket, okay? I write the rest. Just not that, Dad. 19:17.990 --> 19:20.617 If I remember correctly, on the day of the book release, you said 19:20.701 --> 19:24.246 that the characters and events were based on things you'd experienced in real life. 19:24.329 --> 19:26.206 Which means we're the ones who inspired the book. 19:26.290 --> 19:30.377 Right, exactly, José. It was "inspired." So don't take it literally. 19:30.460 --> 19:33.505 "Inspired." Do you… You probably don't even know what that means. 19:33.589 --> 19:36.175 -Doesn't know "literal" either. -Mm-hmm. Dad's the problem. Sure. 19:36.258 --> 19:37.634 -No. -No, José. 19:37.718 --> 19:40.262 -Arbeláez, Luisa, I'll come by to visit. -José. 19:40.345 --> 19:42.306 -What are you doing? -Okay, bye, honey. 19:42.389 --> 19:45.350 -Goodbye. -You're ruining our time with Toñita. 19:45.434 --> 19:46.852 I'll call you soon. 19:47.352 --> 19:49.479 -José. -See that? Huh! 19:49.563 --> 19:52.149 Let's go, baby. 19:52.232 --> 19:54.693 -You upset, or… -Good night, Camilo. 19:54.776 --> 19:57.029 What's the matter, Luisa? Bye, sweetheart. 19:57.613 --> 19:58.572 So what now? 19:58.655 --> 20:01.533 We don't like how she came across in the book, so we're upset. 20:02.117 --> 20:04.828 -Nah! I wasn't trying to make… -Will you read to me tonight? 20:04.912 --> 20:06.955 Sure. And Daddy will do the voices. 20:25.098 --> 20:27.309 BREAKTHROUGH AUTHOR OF THE MONTH: CAMILO GRANADOS 20:48.080 --> 20:48.997 Camilo. 20:49.623 --> 20:50.499 Come here. 20:53.126 --> 20:54.878 -What's up? -Not much. What's that? 20:55.379 --> 20:59.049 Oh, uh, I was working on that essay about Abigaíl Mejía. It's crazy. 20:59.132 --> 21:02.052 I tried the library over at school, the National, the Luis Ángel, 21:02.135 --> 21:03.929 but they barely had any information on her. 21:04.012 --> 21:08.058 Dang. Well, you might wanna check the documents at the Dominican embassy. 21:08.141 --> 21:09.393 -That's where she grew up? -Yeah. 21:09.476 --> 21:13.230 Well, they gotta have information on her. Or they might tell you where to look next. 21:13.313 --> 21:14.982 -Right. Yeah, yeah. Smart idea. -Okay. 21:15.065 --> 21:17.234 Thanks. Yeah. No, hold on. Wait a second. 21:17.317 --> 21:18.360 Hey. 21:18.443 --> 21:20.362 I hope you're not mad at me anymore. 21:20.445 --> 21:21.822 -Hmm? -Uh… 21:22.406 --> 21:24.866 You can't deny that something got under your skin, Camilo. 21:24.950 --> 21:26.660 Was it because of the voting thing? 21:27.285 --> 21:30.038 Look, Eva, it's just… 21:30.122 --> 21:31.623 Come here. 21:35.002 --> 21:37.879 You and I are a… a couple now, okay? 21:38.422 --> 21:40.882 And when we make all these major decisions, 21:40.966 --> 21:44.261 or when we vote at the house, I think we should speak with one voice. 21:44.344 --> 21:45.303 We should always agree. 21:45.387 --> 21:47.806 And, like, if you're about to drop in the newsroom 21:47.889 --> 21:50.976 to see Mr. Manosalva, I feel like I should know about that. 21:51.768 --> 21:54.730 Camilo… the fact that me and you are together now 21:54.813 --> 21:57.316 doesn't mean we have to let go of our individuality. 21:57.399 --> 21:58.692 -No, no. I know. -Okay? 21:58.775 --> 22:01.528 The thing is, I don't need a copy of myself by my side. 22:01.611 --> 22:04.072 And I don't need a guy that's trying to monitor everything I do. 22:04.156 --> 22:05.741 -Right. -I need someone that complements 22:05.824 --> 22:08.744 my identity, that gives me a sense of freedom. 22:09.244 --> 22:12.080 And if necessary, pushes me to continue on the journey of growth 22:12.164 --> 22:13.290 and self-discovery. 22:13.373 --> 22:14.458 Mm-hmm. 22:20.589 --> 22:21.715 What's the matter? 22:22.215 --> 22:23.759 I got upset earlier 'cause, tonight, 22:23.842 --> 22:26.928 I went over to Luisa's to visit Toña and my pop, and… 22:27.012 --> 22:29.514 well, he was angry 'cause of what I wrote in the book, I guess. 22:29.598 --> 22:31.725 -Seriously? -Yeah, the whole family was. 22:31.808 --> 22:32.934 Especially Luisa. 22:33.018 --> 22:36.146 -She would barely even speak to me. -No. Unbelievable. 22:36.646 --> 22:39.024 Do you think I was unfair to them in the story? 22:39.524 --> 22:42.819 No. No, they have to understand that it's just fiction. 22:42.903 --> 22:45.614 Well, they obviously don't. They don't get the book. 22:45.697 --> 22:49.034 I feel like I might have betrayed everybody just to write a novel. 22:59.044 --> 23:01.713 I had never needed a kiss so badly in my life. 23:01.797 --> 23:03.882 And I was never the same after that night, 23:03.965 --> 23:06.802 because I began to realize that words could be weapons 23:06.885 --> 23:09.638 and literature was far from an innocent art. 23:12.808 --> 23:14.351 -Congratulations. -Thank you. 23:22.943 --> 23:26.196 I would like to thank the Academy for this enormous honor. 23:26.696 --> 23:29.116 I'm proud to be the first Colombian to win the Nobel. 23:29.825 --> 23:32.953 I owe my success to the loyalty of my family and my friends, 23:33.036 --> 23:36.206 who have not only been a huge inspiration 23:37.040 --> 23:40.210 but have also been companions through it all. 23:40.293 --> 23:42.129 Thanks a lot. 23:42.212 --> 23:43.338 What the… 23:43.422 --> 23:46.591 -Someone there? -Open up! Open the door, you asshole! 23:47.092 --> 23:49.302 What's going on? What's up, guys? What is it? 23:49.386 --> 23:51.763 -You're a little rat, Granados! -What? 23:51.847 --> 23:55.934 "Camargo was a genius at football, but he had a sadistic personality." 23:56.017 --> 23:57.227 "At times, it seemed like 23:57.310 --> 24:00.188 he took a sick pleasure in pitting people against one another." 24:00.272 --> 24:02.065 Am I this guy Camargo? You gonna lie about it? 24:02.149 --> 24:03.525 No. But-- 24:03.608 --> 24:05.902 "Sánchez was a typical schoolyard bully." 24:05.986 --> 24:08.071 "And because he was inept with words and arguments, 24:08.155 --> 24:11.658 he often punched his way out of conflict, only to discover, in the end, 24:11.741 --> 24:14.327 that it was all a facade to hide his homosexuality." 24:14.411 --> 24:15.912 -So I'm really Sánchez? -It's-- 24:15.996 --> 24:17.831 -So I'm a little fairy? I'm a fag? -No. 24:17.914 --> 24:20.292 -Jesus Christ. Come on, calm down. -Shut your mouth! 24:20.375 --> 24:22.335 -It's fiction. -Yeah, stop defending him. 24:22.419 --> 24:25.422 It makes sense. She's the only one in the book who seems like a good person. 24:25.505 --> 24:27.841 No! You have to understand, when you write, you have to put-- 24:27.924 --> 24:30.177 -You have to shit on your friends? -What? No. No. 24:30.260 --> 24:32.304 -You are inspiration. -Don't bullshit me, brother. 24:32.387 --> 24:33.555 At your fucking release party, 24:33.638 --> 24:36.641 you said all the characters in the book are actually based on us. 24:36.725 --> 24:39.102 -"Based on." Exactly! -And that's us, dumbass! 24:39.186 --> 24:40.479 We know it's us. 24:40.562 --> 24:43.273 It's one thing to screw us over. You can't be like that to Luisa. 24:43.356 --> 24:46.067 I mean, you called her stupid. That shit's not gonna fly with me. 24:46.151 --> 24:48.153 -No, sir! -You know what, motherfucker? Get bent! 24:48.236 --> 24:50.071 -Oh, wow! What a great dude! -Yeah, run away! 24:50.155 --> 24:52.908 Shits on us to make himself famous, expects us to pat him on the back. 24:52.991 --> 24:54.618 What do you want? I can't take this shit! 24:54.701 --> 24:56.119 Go fuck yourself, you bastard! 24:56.203 --> 24:57.579 -Enough! -Hey! 24:57.662 --> 24:58.747 Hey. 24:58.830 --> 24:59.998 I'm sorry, it's just, 25:00.081 --> 25:02.918 our lovely new tenant is all ready to move in today. 25:03.001 --> 25:03.835 Hi! 25:03.919 --> 25:05.837 -What's poppin', you guys? -Dickhead. 25:05.921 --> 25:08.048 We're almost done. Just a few more boxes. 25:08.131 --> 25:10.008 -Can I get a hand? -Yeah, sure. I'll help you. 25:15.305 --> 25:16.973 So, I read your book. 25:18.225 --> 25:19.059 And? 25:19.142 --> 25:20.310 How was it? 25:22.395 --> 25:23.855 Well, I gotta say… 25:24.981 --> 25:26.650 Nothing. I loved it, dude. 25:26.733 --> 25:29.694 -Jesus, man. You got me really good. -Relax. It's a work of art. 25:29.778 --> 25:31.196 I totally understand. 25:31.279 --> 25:34.574 To be honest, I should be thanking you for ending my story happily with Salcedo. 25:34.658 --> 25:36.451 Oh, well, glad you liked it. 25:36.534 --> 25:38.745 I guess that's why they say that, in literature, 25:38.828 --> 25:40.747 you don't necessarily show the world as it is. 25:40.830 --> 25:43.792 -You show the world you wanna see. -Yeah. Right. That's true. 25:43.875 --> 25:47.337 Well, now… …we have to make the guys wrap their heads around that. 25:47.420 --> 25:48.922 They think I screwed them over. 25:49.005 --> 25:50.173 Right. 25:50.257 --> 25:53.468 Thing is, though, I have a little proposal. 25:53.552 --> 25:54.427 All right. 25:55.929 --> 25:59.140 I wanna do an adaptation of the mushroom section 25:59.641 --> 26:01.226 and put it up on stage. 26:01.309 --> 26:03.937 It's perfect for the project I'm working on. How about it? 26:04.020 --> 26:06.231 Oh, jeez, man. I don't know. 26:06.731 --> 26:08.233 Look, I don't know. It's just… 26:08.316 --> 26:11.570 All the drama that's going on already, well, if you commit to that, 26:11.653 --> 26:13.321 Salcedo, Castro, and Luisa, 26:13.405 --> 26:15.949 even my dad, they'll think I'm provoking them or something. 26:16.032 --> 26:16.950 It's better not to. 26:17.033 --> 26:19.744 Well, they can fuck off. Who told them to be so close-minded? 26:19.828 --> 26:21.288 -No. No, really. -This is art, right? 26:21.371 --> 26:24.374 I think we should lower the temperature and not add more fuel to the fire. 26:24.457 --> 26:25.959 That sounds like censorship. 26:28.920 --> 26:29.838 Well, no. 26:29.921 --> 26:33.508 If I have to choose between writing literature and my friends, 26:33.591 --> 26:35.176 I would choose you guys. 26:35.260 --> 26:36.886 Maybe you don't really have to choose. 26:38.597 --> 26:40.223 Anyway, I gotta take off. 26:40.307 --> 26:42.100 -Okay. -Later, Granados. Later, Granados. 26:42.183 --> 26:43.977 -You smart-ass. -Good luck. 26:58.241 --> 27:00.994 Later that day, I had to write a review of The Shining, 27:01.077 --> 27:04.664 Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece that had just been released. 27:05.165 --> 27:08.376 But, ironically, it was starting to feel like more than just a movie to me. 27:08.460 --> 27:11.212 Because of the way my friends were reacting to my book, 27:11.296 --> 27:14.007 I was living my own personal horror story. 27:19.888 --> 27:20.889 Please! 27:27.228 --> 27:29.648 Here's Johnny! 27:32.609 --> 27:34.235 Good afternoon.

And it's always four beats. -Right. 27:48.416 --> 27:50.335 -Two, three, and four. -Two, three, four. 27:50.418 --> 27:53.129 Very nice! See? You just have to do it over and over. 27:53.213 --> 27:55.757 Practice makes perfect. I'll help. Just be patient. 27:56.257 --> 27:58.343 -What's going on? -And four. 27:58.426 --> 27:59.594 What's up? Hey. 27:59.678 --> 28:01.262 -How are you? -Hey. 28:02.055 --> 28:03.723 Uh, I'm… I'm going to head out, all right? 28:03.807 --> 28:05.767 -I should get a head start on dinner. -Okay. 28:05.850 --> 28:08.561 This one's all on me. I'm gonna whip up something special. See ya. 28:12.982 --> 28:15.276 She says she's cooking for everybody tonight. 28:15.360 --> 28:16.194 -Oh, really? -Mm-hmm. 28:16.277 --> 28:19.781 Uh, so… didn't know you were taking music lessons. 28:19.864 --> 28:21.741 There's always more to learn, right? 28:21.825 --> 28:23.576 Mm-hmm. 28:23.660 --> 28:25.954 So, how was school? What's new there? 28:26.454 --> 28:27.288 Not much, 28:27.372 --> 28:29.249 but I actually scheduled an appointment 28:29.332 --> 28:31.167 to visit the Dominican embassy this Wednesday. 28:31.251 --> 28:32.127 Incredible. 28:32.210 --> 28:35.296 It's perfect too, because they'll be celebrating their Independence Day. 28:35.380 --> 28:37.090 They told me lots of people will be there. 28:37.173 --> 28:40.009 Like, every Dominican luminary living in Colombia, 28:40.093 --> 28:42.303 including a professor who specializes in Abigaíl Mejía. 28:42.387 --> 28:43.596 -Amazing. -Right? 28:43.680 --> 28:44.514 I knew it. 28:44.597 --> 28:46.182 -Hmm? -The secret was in that embassy. 28:46.808 --> 28:47.767 Thanks. 28:48.810 --> 28:49.978 I've got some news too. 28:52.230 --> 28:54.774 So, the publishing house gave me a call recently. 28:54.858 --> 28:57.360 They told me that the novel is selling better than they expected. 28:57.444 --> 28:59.612 They think they might want to release a second edition. 28:59.696 --> 29:01.072 -Are you serious? -Yeah. 29:01.156 --> 29:02.490 Well, we have to celebrate. 29:04.075 --> 29:05.368 Mm… I don't know. 29:05.452 --> 29:06.578 What's the problem? 29:06.661 --> 29:08.913 Well, it's just that 29:08.997 --> 29:11.374 I'm not really sure I should, uh… uh… 29:11.458 --> 29:13.293 release another edition right now. 29:14.753 --> 29:17.130 Is it because they're mad at you, Álvaro and Martín? 29:17.213 --> 29:19.299 Yeah, and Luisa and my old man. 29:19.841 --> 29:21.676 I've been lying to myself, Eva. 29:22.177 --> 29:23.928 I took a lot of liberties with… 29:24.471 --> 29:27.140 I screwed up. And now everyone's pissed off at me. 29:28.183 --> 29:30.310 Well, I mean, eventually, they'll have to understand. 29:30.393 --> 29:31.644 Understand what, Eva? 29:31.728 --> 29:34.314 That I used them to write a version of my own story 29:34.397 --> 29:36.399 that obviously doesn't do them justice? 29:36.483 --> 29:39.277 No. What you did has nothing to do with justice. 29:39.360 --> 29:41.738 It has to do with literature, which is completely different. 29:41.821 --> 29:42.822 Exactly. That's the point. 29:42.906 --> 29:45.074 But lately, I keep asking myself if it's appropriate 29:45.158 --> 29:48.036 to take license with peoples' lives when I decide to write a book. 29:48.703 --> 29:50.580 And I don't think so. I don't have that right. 29:50.663 --> 29:53.249 I gotta accept that I really made a mistake 29:53.333 --> 29:55.919 and I hurt all the people I love most in the world. 29:56.002 --> 29:57.212 They don't deserve it. 29:57.295 --> 29:58.880 -Camilo. -Forget it. 30:07.430 --> 30:09.224 To get us started off on the right foot, 30:09.307 --> 30:11.392 I prepared this delicious meal for you guys. 30:11.476 --> 30:13.937 But don't get used to being served, boys. I'm not your new cook. 30:14.020 --> 30:16.689 That's a damn shame. It looks delicious. 30:18.149 --> 30:19.859 You and me could have a private dinner. 30:19.943 --> 30:22.445 -Whoa. Careful what you say, Castro. -No. 30:22.946 --> 30:24.447 Remember who's at the table with us. 30:24.531 --> 30:26.366 Just shut up, okay, Martín? 30:26.449 --> 30:28.117 Got it? Let's have a nice meal. 30:28.201 --> 30:30.453 No, no, no! It's for me. It's for me. Thanks. 30:31.621 --> 30:33.915 -We have come up with a story. -This is all you talk about? 30:33.998 --> 30:35.250 -Beauty and the Beast. -Exactly. 30:35.333 --> 30:37.293 The dipshit who wanted to marry the millionaire. 30:37.377 --> 30:39.045 -Shut up! -Guy's a pushover cuckold. 30:39.128 --> 30:40.505 Beauty and the Dumbass Cuckold. Ha! 30:40.588 --> 30:42.507 Could you please not talk while you're eating? 30:42.590 --> 30:44.551 -Put a sock in it. -What's up with these guys? 30:44.634 --> 30:47.303 Guys, we just sat down at the table, all right? 30:48.304 --> 30:49.806 -Hang on. -Come on. 30:50.306 --> 30:52.433 Come on. Just show us around a little. 30:52.517 --> 30:54.477 Fine, but you can't stay too long. 30:54.978 --> 30:57.188 -Check out this house. -I think they're, uh… 31:06.155 --> 31:07.282 -No. -No? 31:07.365 --> 31:08.825 -No. -Come on! What do you mean? 31:08.908 --> 31:09.784 No. 31:09.868 --> 31:11.035 Oh. One sec. 31:11.119 --> 31:12.203 Sure. 31:13.705 --> 31:14.998 -What's going on? -Yeah?

I don't want anything. 31:21.254 --> 31:24.048 I just came by to check in and see if, uh… 31:24.132 --> 31:27.302 if you needed anything, if you want a hand or needed help. 31:27.385 --> 31:30.221 -If everything is okay. -No, all good here. Totally good, yeah. 31:30.305 --> 31:33.349 -I gotta go to bed. We'll talk tomorrow. -Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. 31:33.433 --> 31:36.019 -Vandalia, think about it. -Yeah? 31:36.102 --> 31:38.563 You wanna sleep in that little bed all alone? 31:38.646 --> 31:39.814 In this house? 31:40.398 --> 31:42.191 I'm telling you, it's haunted. 31:43.818 --> 31:45.653 Oh. No. Not a chance. 31:45.737 --> 31:47.780 Let me set the record straight for you, okay? 31:47.864 --> 31:48.698 Mm-hmm. 31:48.781 --> 31:50.491 Sure, we might have had a history together, 31:50.575 --> 31:52.118 but that doesn't give you a free pass 31:52.201 --> 31:54.662 to come to me whenever you want and beg me to sleep with you. 31:54.746 --> 31:55.747 Grow up, Castro. 31:55.830 --> 31:57.916 Besides, we live in the same house. 31:57.999 --> 32:00.460 I don't want this to become a… a weird partnership 32:00.543 --> 32:02.295 or one of those games we're both too old for. 32:02.378 --> 32:03.880 So why don't you go to your room, 32:03.963 --> 32:06.215 take a very cold shower, and take care of yourself? 32:06.299 --> 32:07.133 Go-- 32:07.216 --> 32:09.594 -Get out of my face. -Come on, Vandalia. 32:09.677 --> 32:12.639 -Night.

With women, with men. 32:58.768 --> 33:00.937 I've had romances with three or four people. 33:01.020 --> 33:02.647 -You should try it. -Mm. Oh, I have. 33:02.730 --> 33:05.358 -Yeah?

No, it was more than that. I mean, I saw… 34:29.609 --> 34:31.194 This morning, she came out with people. 34:31.277 --> 34:32.695 -All lit up. -Yeah, I saw them too. 34:32.779 --> 34:35.323 You're worse than our little writer here, aren't you? 34:35.406 --> 34:36.866 Vandalia has a couple of visitors 34:36.949 --> 34:39.577 and suddenly she's Tony Montana or something, is that it? 34:39.660 --> 34:41.370 Yeah, and besides, man, 34:41.454 --> 34:43.998 even if she is selling her merchandise here, what's the problem? 34:44.081 --> 34:45.958 -"What's the problem," huh? -What's the problem? 34:46.042 --> 34:48.628 -It's kinda illegal, you asshole. -Oh yeah? Is that illegal? 34:48.711 --> 34:51.547 You know something else illegal? To publish fucking lies about people. 34:51.631 --> 34:53.508 -That's a crime, bro. -It's called defamation. 34:53.591 --> 34:55.426 God! Stop it! Seriously! What do I have to do? 34:55.510 --> 34:58.554 -Problem is, man, you can't do anything. -Then stop fucking with me! 34:58.638 --> 35:00.306 -Shut your mouth! -Hey, hey, hey! 35:00.389 --> 35:02.475 -You should be apologizing! -Calm down! 35:02.558 --> 35:04.310 -God! Stop it! -Just listen to her! 35:04.393 --> 35:07.355 -We're all friends. Let's calm down. -I'm not his. I don't trust this bitch. 35:07.438 --> 35:09.649 -I'm done with this shit. I'm outta here. -Camilo, please. 35:09.732 --> 35:10.817 -Don't leave. -Jeez! Oh no! 35:10.900 --> 35:13.111 -We hurt the little princess's feelings. -That's enough! 35:13.194 --> 35:16.739 I'm done with your screwed-up idea of friendship. We're solving this today! 35:16.823 --> 35:18.991 -It'd help if you guys… -You gonna rewrite the book? 35:19.075 --> 35:22.036 -…slow way down on the coke. -Shut up, Pabón. No one asked you. 35:24.664 --> 35:27.416 Eva knew that it was time to take serious action. 35:27.500 --> 35:29.168 So, without me knowing, 35:29.252 --> 35:31.879 she decided to resort to her secret weapon. 35:31.963 --> 35:34.674 She took the whole group, including Luisa and Arbeláez, 35:34.757 --> 35:38.052 to the District Film Library to see Amarcord, 35:38.136 --> 35:40.346 Federico Fellini's masterpiece. 35:40.429 --> 35:42.974 Now, people say it's his most autobiographical film, 35:43.057 --> 35:46.644 and there's no denying, the man was a genius. 35:47.353 --> 35:49.605 Okay, what's the verdict? Did you guys like it or not? 35:49.689 --> 35:51.482 -Yeah. -You're all being really quiet. 35:51.566 --> 35:53.025 I thought the movie was beautiful. 35:53.109 --> 35:54.402 -Really? -I liked it a lot. 35:54.485 --> 35:55.695 -Oh, thanks. -And Martín? 35:55.778 --> 35:57.947 -Did you like it? -I didn't love it. It was all right. 35:58.030 --> 35:59.073 -It was cool. -Totally. 35:59.156 --> 36:01.742 -Right? Álvaro? -One of the best movies I've ever seen. 36:01.826 --> 36:03.202 -Told ya. -Yeah. 36:03.286 --> 36:04.162 Thank you. 36:04.245 --> 36:06.664 Well, Gustavo, I won't even ask. I know you were obviously… 36:06.747 --> 36:09.375 Man, it's a work of art. I loved it. 36:09.876 --> 36:11.669 Well, good. Mm. 36:13.212 --> 36:14.088 Come on. 36:15.506 --> 36:17.008 Well, I wanted to tell you guys 36:17.091 --> 36:20.261 that the film is the most autobiographical piece of Fellini's work. 36:20.344 --> 36:21.512 -Hmm? -Yeah. 36:21.596 --> 36:24.765 It's about his childhood memories from where he grew up, a town called Rimini. 36:25.266 --> 36:28.477 And the characters he builds, which are all so amazing and rich, 36:28.561 --> 36:32.273 they're all actually based on real folks who lived in that town with him. 36:32.356 --> 36:34.192 Ugh. I know where this is going. 36:34.275 --> 36:35.735 Ugh, Martín, just listen. 36:35.818 --> 36:38.821 During the Second World War, that town was destroyed. 36:39.322 --> 36:42.158 And that left Fellini with immense pain in his heart. 36:42.700 --> 36:45.119 But do you know what he did to process that? 36:45.620 --> 36:48.539 He created a poetic tribute to his old hometown. 36:48.623 --> 36:50.333 And that's the movie, right? 36:50.416 --> 36:51.500 That's the movie. 36:52.001 --> 36:55.171 That means he created a film blending a few childhood events, 36:55.254 --> 36:57.465 his memories, and his imagination. 36:57.548 --> 37:00.092 Because Fellini didn't wanna make a documentary. 37:00.176 --> 37:01.469 He wanted to tell a story. 37:01.552 --> 37:04.639 That's why he began with real life and people he knew, 37:04.722 --> 37:06.140 and exaggerated it all. 37:06.223 --> 37:07.850 Or deformed it, if you want. 37:08.893 --> 37:11.229 Sort of like Granados did with us, right? 37:12.563 --> 37:13.481 That's right. 37:13.564 --> 37:14.649 Exactly. 37:15.232 --> 37:18.402 But he… he did it out of urgent need. 37:18.486 --> 37:20.154 To leave the world a record. 37:20.238 --> 37:22.907 An eternal memory of the people and places he loved, 37:22.990 --> 37:25.117 the ones that were important to him. 37:25.785 --> 37:29.080 Plus, that movie won an Oscar in 1974. 37:29.580 --> 37:31.624 And guess what the citizens of Rimini did. 37:32.124 --> 37:34.252 They honor the man who created that work of art. 37:34.335 --> 37:37.171 Year after year, they celebrate Fellini on his birthday. 37:38.923 --> 37:41.676 And now, to bring this home to us, 37:42.259 --> 37:45.638 the thing Fellini did with his hometown in Amarcord, that record, 37:45.721 --> 37:48.641 that's exactly what Camilo is doing in his novel with us. 37:49.392 --> 37:51.102 He's showing us how much he loves us. 37:51.185 --> 37:53.729 How important we all are in shaping who he is. 37:55.064 --> 37:59.193 He wants our story to last forever. For people to take an interest in us. 37:59.277 --> 38:02.446 He wants anybody who reads it to feel moved and inspired by us. 38:02.947 --> 38:06.492 But to do that, he had to start where every artist starts. 38:07.118 --> 38:09.245 He had to start from how things were 38:09.328 --> 38:11.747 to get to how things might have been. 38:14.583 --> 38:17.586 And the result is beautiful, like Fellini's film. 38:18.212 --> 38:20.923 But you guys have been so focused on yourselves 38:21.007 --> 38:24.969 and so obsessed with defending your own image, and so prideful, 38:25.052 --> 38:26.846 that you've been blind to this all along. 38:26.929 --> 38:30.391 You guys have been ignoring the fact that you inspired a beautiful story. 38:30.474 --> 38:33.686 And instead of finding gratitude, instead of congratulating Camilo, 38:33.769 --> 38:35.771 you just reacted like petulant children. 38:35.855 --> 38:38.649 You've been selfish, cruel, and unfair. 38:40.359 --> 38:43.237 -And that's called vanity. -Vanity. Mm-hmm. 38:43.738 --> 38:46.407 That's not fair for a group of friends who supposedly love each other 38:46.490 --> 38:47.867 as much as we claim to. 38:56.667 --> 38:58.919 THE FIRST WOMAN 39:04.258 --> 39:06.093 Excuse me. 39:06.177 --> 39:08.763 -Come in. -Hey, sir. Did you need me? 39:10.097 --> 39:12.308 Yes, Camilo. Sit down, please. 39:14.852 --> 39:16.187 I'm almost done. 39:16.270 --> 39:17.104 Great. 39:18.981 --> 39:20.357 Let me ask you, Camilo. 39:20.441 --> 39:22.109 I'm Martínez, right? Or no? 39:23.819 --> 39:25.988 I mean, he's the newspaper editor. 39:26.072 --> 39:28.532 He employs the protagonist as a writer in the sports section. 39:28.616 --> 39:30.368 No. Well, yeah, it's… 39:30.451 --> 39:33.746 No, it's not you, exactly, but you sort of inspired the… like, uh… 39:33.829 --> 39:35.289 -I wasn't copying your entire… -Sure. 39:35.373 --> 39:37.750 It's a pretty minor character, but well written. 39:37.833 --> 39:39.377 So, thanks. 39:39.460 --> 39:41.796 You know what? In general, I'm a big fan of the novel. 39:41.879 --> 39:44.006 And I hear there's a whole lot of chatter about it. 39:44.090 --> 39:45.966 Which is why I'm arranging an interview for you 39:46.050 --> 39:47.635 with the head of the Cultural section. 39:47.718 --> 39:49.887 We'll publish it in the literary periodical. 39:49.970 --> 39:51.597 Okay. Well, thank you very much. 39:51.680 --> 39:53.849 But, you know, I think Eva's plan for that edition 39:53.933 --> 39:55.851 was the monograph about the Dominican poet, right? 39:55.935 --> 39:58.062 They are totally different, Camilo. 39:58.145 --> 40:00.564 And a good interview gets books flying off the shelves. 40:00.648 --> 40:03.651 Yeah, but it's selling well right now without interviews. 40:04.235 --> 40:07.279 Is it just me or are you not interested in promoting yourself as an author? 40:08.197 --> 40:09.532 Um… 40:09.615 --> 40:10.825 One second, please. 40:12.034 --> 40:13.119 Hello? 40:13.202 --> 40:14.328 What's going on? 40:16.872 --> 40:19.375 Where did they get that information? 40:19.875 --> 40:22.086 All right, all right. I'll make a couple of calls. 40:22.169 --> 40:24.171 Then we'll meet and decide what to do. 40:24.255 --> 40:26.757 -So we know the M-19's next move. -What? 40:26.841 --> 40:28.843 They're intercepting the signal of a TV channel 40:28.926 --> 40:30.719 so they can make a national statement. 40:30.803 --> 40:32.430 -Hey. What's up? -It's true. 40:32.513 --> 40:34.223 In the '80s, the M-19 had a habit 40:34.306 --> 40:37.101 of intercepting signals from major television channels 40:37.184 --> 40:40.146 so they could broadcast their propagandistic diatribes 40:40.229 --> 40:41.814 to millions of viewers. 40:42.314 --> 40:45.734 But, for me, at that moment, the emerging crisis felt like a lifeline 40:45.818 --> 40:48.821 that was allowing me to escape an uncomfortable situation. 40:48.904 --> 40:52.533 Because, as usual, political issues took precedence over cultural ones. 40:58.372 --> 40:59.415 What's this? 41:01.167 --> 41:03.043 What are you guys doing here? 41:04.211 --> 41:06.213 Oh, come on. I don't wanna do a big therapy session. 41:06.297 --> 41:07.298 -No. -No, Camilo. 41:07.381 --> 41:09.091 -I'm done writing. -Just one sec, okay? 41:09.175 --> 41:11.802 -Just let your guard down. Relax, Camilo. -Just hold on. Listen. 41:11.886 --> 41:12.803 Yeesh. 41:13.304 --> 41:14.346 Okay. So? 41:15.556 --> 41:16.891 It's just… 41:17.933 --> 41:19.768 We wanted to apologize. 41:19.852 --> 41:22.271 For what happened with this book thing, man. 41:23.522 --> 41:27.234 Yeah, and Eva explained to us that… that when you write literature, 41:27.318 --> 41:29.236 you sometimes end up bending the truth a little 41:29.320 --> 41:31.447 to make things sound more interesting. 41:31.530 --> 41:32.573 That's what I took from it. 41:32.656 --> 41:36.160 Look, man, what happened here is that this pair of Neanderthals realized 41:36.243 --> 41:38.204 even they are n… n… not dumb enough… 41:38.287 --> 41:41.373 -…to put their puny egos above great art. -No, no. That's completely wrong, man. 41:41.457 --> 41:44.293 -All right, boys. That's enough. -I'm not insulting anyone. 41:44.376 --> 41:47.129 The thing is we finally understood what you wanted to do with the book. 41:47.630 --> 41:49.882 I mean, we actually feel really proud 41:49.965 --> 41:52.176 that we served as a part of your inspiration. 41:52.259 --> 41:53.928 What? 41:55.095 --> 41:57.181 -Really? -Uh-huh. 41:57.264 --> 42:00.476 Jesus fucking Christ, you guys, I'm relieved. 42:00.976 --> 42:04.980 Oh my God. I swear I had the absolute worst day ever. 42:05.064 --> 42:08.776 I kept thinking that I… I don't know. That I had fucked up and lost the Tribe. 42:08.859 --> 42:11.820 -No, man. Don't be so dramatic. -It was awful. Seriously. 42:11.904 --> 42:13.656 So what do you say? 42:13.739 --> 42:15.157 Are we good or what? 42:15.241 --> 42:18.077 Yeah, of course we're good, man. Come here, you dickhead. 42:19.703 --> 42:21.455 -Come here. -Mm! 42:22.373 --> 42:24.250 -I'm gonna give you a hug. -Whoa! 42:24.333 --> 42:26.585 Tight like a sandwich. I'm the bread. 42:26.669 --> 42:28.462 Calls for a group hug. 42:28.546 --> 42:30.798 -Oh, man. -Okay, okay. That's enough for me. 42:30.881 --> 42:33.300 Oh! I see you threw a party without me. 42:35.970 --> 42:36.804 Mm. 42:36.887 --> 42:40.349 -Amarcord? That's Fellini, right? -Yeah. 42:41.642 --> 42:43.185 You didn't want me to come with? 42:43.811 --> 42:45.854 Well, no, because I wanted to use the movie 42:45.938 --> 42:48.190 to talk about the situation with you, okay? 42:49.149 --> 42:51.318 That's incredible, huh? 42:51.402 --> 42:53.988 That maestro Fellini ended up performing the miracle. 42:54.071 --> 42:55.239 Yeah. 42:57.032 --> 42:58.659 It's the power of film. 42:59.827 --> 43:03.497 Watching it expands our perspectives. That's what makes us a little bit wiser. 43:04.999 --> 43:06.208 The power of art. 43:09.128 --> 43:11.380 That's why you're my Neruda. 43:15.092 --> 43:16.844 You've always been my Neruda. 43:21.181 --> 43:23.851 Thank you. Thank you for doing this. 43:25.686 --> 43:28.272 -I did it because I love you so much. -Hmm? 43:29.898 --> 43:34.111 Because I'll never let anything or anyone ever hurt you. Okay? 43:51.045 --> 43:54.423 Giant steps are what you take 43:54.506 --> 43:57.009 Walking on the moon 43:57.801 --> 44:00.763 I hope my leg don't break 44:00.846 --> 44:03.432 Walking on the moon 44:04.099 --> 44:07.269 We could walk forever 44:07.353 --> 44:09.897 Walking on the moon 44:10.564 --> 44:13.442 We could live together 44:13.525 --> 44:20.240 Walking on, walking on the moon 44:20.324 --> 44:22.868 Some may say 44:24.536 --> 44:27.748 I'm wishing my days away 44:28.248 --> 44:29.249 No way 44:30.959 --> 44:34.171 And if it's the price I pay 44:34.672 --> 44:35.839 Some say 44:37.549 --> 44:40.552 Tomorrow's another day 44:41.303 --> 44:42.429 You stay 44:43.389 --> 44:45.349 I may as well play 44:48.143 --> 44:50.020 My Neruda, I didn't want to wake you 44:50.104 --> 44:52.606 because you look so beautiful when you're asleep. 44:52.690 --> 44:53.524 I'm going to class 44:53.607 --> 44:55.818 and then to my appointment at the Dominican embassy. 44:55.901 --> 44:57.319 See you tonight.

Eva had to be in the embassy. 46:38.212 --> 46:40.589 Which meant, even as I stood there in the office, 46:40.672 --> 46:42.382 her life was already in danger. 46:42.966 --> 46:44.426 EVA LASTING already in danger.
