Blood (O Sangue)

Do what you want with me.

Don't leave me.

What am I going to tell Nino? That I'm dead.

BLOOD

The night was dark

No moon shone

In the distance

A wolf howled all alone.

Vicente!

Thank God! Rosa has escaped again.

She's taken your brother.

- Rosa! - Nino!

There was no stopping her. I don't know what got into her.

Are you boys alone again?

Just for a while.

I only know about you because Nino tells me everything.

When is your father coming back?

I don't know. He's away for his treatment.

Is he worse?

Rosa! What's wrong?

Who hurt you?

I told you a million times not to come here alone.

And then the teachers give me the blame.

Look at you.

Sometimes you scare me.

Do you remember?

Nino, let's go home. Daddy's waiting.

Daddy?

Nobody woke up today.

They're burnt.

There's no bread.

The baker didn't open today.

And Dad missed his bus.

Vicente told you that?

I didn't hear you go out.

I always do.

This kid always has a cold.

You don't get any sun.

And in the winter it's always the same story.

I don't like the sun.

I get all swollen.

But you need it.

You were born before term.

You were smaller than the other babies.

2 kilos and 300 grams.

Not that small!

Do you wanna bet? It's in my album.

How much do I get if you're wrong?

Hold that up.

Gently!

Vick, Vick, Vick.

Your pills are on the table.

Always covered in scratches!

Dad!

Well, dad. Are you chicken?

You're a loser.

2 kilos 300, don't you remember?

More sausages?

It's in my album.

Born August 11

at 10 p.m.

2 kilos 300 grams. Enough! Give me peace!

You've lost.

Go on, humour him.

2 kilos 300! Happy now?

Dad.

Vicente.

You're growing up too fast.

Where did you hide it? Can't you see I haven't got time?

How did you get it?

You know damn well I need it!

I can imagine. You can't imagine anything!

- Where are you going? - Nowhere.

What a stubborn kid.

Never forgets a thing.

2 kilos and 300 grams

could be.

Colour of people's eyes, faces, names, dates.

Blackie! Are you a stray, boy?

- Blackie! - Comes around.

We feed him.

Blackie, here boy!

Keep quiet! Don't come out in the cold.

How long is the treatment?

I don't know. It's the last.

It's always the last.

It's a lot of money.

That's the way it is.

They don't pay you that much at the union.

What did you do with my letter? Did you read it, at least?

Two lines.

You didn't have the guts to finish it?

You're not an orphan yet.

Never mind...

Keep the money.

Don't pity me nor yourself.

- Are you cold? - No.

Doctor, doctor

Make me sleep

Flowers of all colours

Walking with you in the garden

So good to be in love

Where the fuck were you? You know the time?

And hand in hand

And foot in foot

Wait till the big boss sees you...

Two guys came looking for you.

Friends of yours, they said.

I have no friends.

You don't say...

Hey, boss! These bloody monkeys are fucked!

How am I going to deliver 5000 tapes with these two clowns?

Have you seen the orders we have?

Don't you know it's almost Christmas?

300 pesetas... It's a big rip off.

Here, it's Christmas.

Are you in pain?

What hospital is it?

In Lisbon?

Who looks after you?

You have it all well planned.

I never believed you were really sick.

Always playing the victim.

Everyone's asking me if you're better, when you're coming back.

I'm tired of making up stories for you.

Go to the bar, you'll see.

Nobody believes it. Nobody.

Can't you see that Nino is scared?

You know what he hears at school?

And now all this money.

Where's it coming from?

This time I won't let you go.

Save me!

You're the only one I trust.

We're going to get lost. I can't see a thing.

It's a bad night.

If the moon was out we could see the river.

How do you know?

I don't. I'm just talking.

Vicente...

We won't find an open one. We'd better stop.

Not here.

See? I told you so.

Don't touch him.

It's so cold.

- It won't close. - It never closed properly.

Vicente.

Gently.

Let me do it.

Can't let him go like that.

Clara, what's wrong?

- We can't leave a trace. - Don't be afraid.

We've broken a vase. It doesn't matter.

Don't cry.

You hardly knew him.

It's not for him.

If they see us like this they're going to think that.

Don't...

Look. Almost light.

Wait for that cloud... and close your eyes

Now look at the sun.

- And? - It's different now.

Did dad look at my album?

I left it in his bedroom. I won, he owes me.

What did you say at school?

Nothing.

You said Dad had gone away?

Yes.

Try to close them tighter...

And what else?

Everything.

You two made a helluva din last night.

Nino, Dad's not coming back.

Not coming back?

Some things it's best to keep to ourselves.

Now we can do what we like.

But he just went for the treatment.

Stay with me today. Don't go to school.

Come to the markets with me.

We'll never see him again?

Shit.

Nino, haven't you got any homework?

Are you sad?

I went to Tahiti To see Ann Marie

Shut up!

She lives around the corner

Beside the bakery

Arithmetic?

I'm good at sums.

Having problems?

If you help me pack all this shit I'll help you with your sums.

Free! Super Spanish computer.

Multiply

And divide

Add and subtract

It's as easy as singing

What are you writing?

Nothing. A letter.

Who to?

To us.
