00:02:47 LlFE ON THE EDGE
00:02:55 l ask myself if Chino existed
00:02:58 or if he was the result
00:03:07 of my desire
00:03:10 imbedded like a staple in my mind,
00:03:21 of my teenage insistence
00:03:24 to project me from a structured,
00:03:32 At 18, l was a complete dis
00:03:35 with no perspective on life,
00:03:38 a rebel without a cause,
00:03:39 a nervous wreck,
00:03:44 who hardly knew what he wanted.
00:03:47 The only thing that moved me
00:03:49 of the most evident immorality
00:03:54 and l defied the most rational
00:03:57 ceaselessly destroying them
00:04:00 that was paralyzing me.
00:04:10 You're going out now?
00:04:19 You hardly sleep, son.
00:04:50 One of my favorite vices
00:04:54 lt still is, but with nuances.
00:04:58 l don't think l'm addicted,
00:05:10 One is in the game
00:05:12 an extension of your doubts,
00:05:15 of the personal traits
00:05:18 -l'll see them.
00:05:21 A pair of kings and a knight.
00:05:24 You win.
00:05:26 lt's in gambling
00:05:29 for fascination and fear,
00:05:33 a mental wound acquired in 1972,
00:05:36 in an exceptional card game.
00:05:49 Chino. Tan. Ferran.
00:05:52 -Good evening.
00:06:03 There are 9,000 pesetas.
00:06:56 l'll see it.
00:06:58 Everything or part?
00:07:01 l said that l'll see it.
00:07:09 Bad luck, man.
00:07:12 l don't have a cent more.
00:07:14 How will we get the money back?
00:07:17 Does anyone have 9,000?
00:07:21 -This game is a joke.
00:07:24 Wouldn't you do the same?
00:07:26 You all would have cheated.
00:07:29 Then the game must be suspended.
00:07:31 -That's no excuse.
00:07:33 Do you have dough?
00:07:43 18,000.
00:07:45 -Do you want cards?
00:07:47 -Without seeing them?
00:07:49 lf you loose, they get 36,000.
00:07:53 lf none of you wants to win,
00:07:56 You're nuts.
00:07:57 -Show the fucking cards.
00:07:59 You listen to me.
00:08:01 lf l loose, there'll be 36,000
00:08:03 l'll play this with the other's cards.
00:08:06 First, prove you have the money.
00:08:09 After playing with mine,
00:08:11 lf you accept, go ahead.
00:08:21 As you see, l can cover that.
00:08:23 l accept the bet and conditions.
00:08:36 Moor...
00:08:37 And yours?
00:08:41 You've won.
00:08:52 -How do you want to be paid?
00:08:57 Here. The debt l owe you.
00:09:12 Come here.
00:09:15 l'll bring you back to the village.
00:09:40 l don't like that game.
00:09:42 Poker and 54 leave more room
00:09:46 l won't play again anytime soon.
00:09:48 You lost because of fear.
00:09:50 Fear or not, cards are the same.
00:09:52 You're wrong.
00:09:53 -You like boxing?
00:09:56 l'm not a big fan,
00:09:59 but l like Cassius Clay.
00:10:01 The Greatest.
00:10:02 Know why? 'Cause he wins
00:10:05 He psyches out his opponent.
00:10:07 Before the fight, he uses
00:10:10 And?
00:10:11 His rival is terrified,
00:10:13 unconsciously recognizing
00:10:16 What's your point?
00:10:17 lf the others know
00:10:19 you're going for broke,
00:10:22 -So later you'll lose more.
00:10:26 Pessimism. You think you'll lose.
00:10:29 Cards call for cards,
00:10:31 And lost calls for lost.
00:10:34 -Maybe l started a bad streak.
00:10:38 -How?
00:10:40 lt's outside of my budget.
00:10:43 With that mentality
00:10:54 Of course l was scared.
00:10:56 There were 9,000 pesetas
00:10:59 With women and cards,
00:11:03 -l'll pay you little by little.
00:11:08 But a gambler always pays.
00:11:13 -Are you a gambler?
00:11:15 lf l forgave you,
00:11:17 Correct.
00:11:20 How do you make a living?
00:11:24 However l can. Cleaning ditches.
00:11:28 l suspect you'll never be rich.
00:11:31 And what do you do?
00:11:33 l gamble.
00:11:34 l gamble at night,
00:11:37 l gamble all day. What do you think?
00:11:40 Nothing. lt's your life.
00:11:44 My life... my life's a mistake
00:11:50 Do you want to come, kid?
00:11:51 The kid is ruined.
00:11:55 Let's go? Tough guy!
00:12:50 Rosa, my princess. She's from Jaén.
00:12:53 Not a princess at all.
00:12:54 This is Ferran.
00:13:01 Let's go?
00:13:02 Wait, l'll get my stuff.
00:13:08 What do you think?
00:13:10 Beautiful. And also smart.
00:13:33 We'll meet in 3 days, at the café.
00:13:36 Good.
00:13:56 Good morning.
00:14:12 You'll always be a no-body.
00:14:15 Good night.
00:14:18 Your behaviour
00:14:37 l befriended Chino inevitably.
00:14:41 We met with the excuse
00:14:44 but we hardly
00:14:47 Have this, for now.
00:14:49 He became my idol,
00:14:52 the father l missed.
00:15:02 His life appealed to me,
00:15:05 living on the edge,
00:15:09 playing it all on one card.
00:15:23 Not a word. When you lose,
00:15:27 Defeat excites me. But success...
00:15:30 What interests most bores me,
00:15:35 -What do you mean?
00:15:39 l am adopting you.
00:15:45 Hey! The charm!
00:15:55 Rum and coke and a gin and tonic.
00:15:58 Make it a stiff one.
00:16:11 -Hello, Father.
00:16:14 How infrequently you come to church.
00:16:18 Lots of work, Father Manuel.
00:16:20 -Bring me a coffee.
00:16:30 Watch the rat.
00:16:32 lf only you knew...
00:16:34 5 years lost with the Jesuits.
00:16:36 But he's the worst son of a bitch.
00:16:39 lt's weird people in the village.
00:16:44 One Sunday, at mass,
00:16:46 he accused by name
00:16:49 who frequent prostitutes
00:16:52 The list was incomplete.
00:16:54 He forgot to name a friend of his
00:16:57 who went to see hookers.
00:16:59 Every club protects their own.
00:17:02 -Why is the Moor such an ass-kisser?
00:17:06 Does he? He has a business,
00:17:09 Despite many years here,
00:17:12 -Why?
00:17:15 Save this for me in the fridge.
00:17:19 l'll get it tomorrow.
00:17:24 -Goodbye, Juan.
00:17:27 Goodbye, son.
00:17:56 -Juan, l'll pay you tomorrow.
00:18:20 Damn! l don't like sweats.
00:18:24 Juan's in a fix.
00:18:26 -He already had problems.
00:18:30 Now he won't have to kiss ass.
00:18:34 Should we throw it?
00:18:58 Hi.
00:19:03 Good afternoon, Juan. A coffee.
00:19:06 Happy birthday, Father Manuel.
00:19:09 Clean living, Juan. Take note.
00:19:12 Right away.
00:19:34 Where is it?
00:19:37 Look hard. Two?
00:19:50 -Juan, what about the cake?
00:19:53 Disappeared?
00:19:59 Stolen.
00:20:03 lt's been stolen.
00:20:06 l swear to God it wasn't me, Father.
00:20:09 This is absolutely immoral.
00:20:13 l'm innocent, Father Manuel.
00:20:18 l'm innocent.
00:20:21 Father Manuel...
00:20:24 l don't understand.
00:20:28 ljust don't get it.
00:20:30 -lt's not fair, Juan.
00:20:33 Actually, we saw it.
00:20:35 lf l knew who it's been,
00:20:37 For a cake?
00:20:40 After meeting him,
00:20:45 and my relationship
00:20:56 For me, the family haven changed
00:20:59 into some sort of center
00:21:03 l ate and slept, but nothing else.
00:21:31 You owe me and have to pay up.
00:21:34 l'm having
00:21:37 -l need money.
00:21:40 -We'll send a bill to a fake company.
00:21:44 Good idea.
00:21:47 -You will be the other company.
00:21:52 This is very delicate.
00:21:53 lf you don't pay, l'll have to.
00:21:56 -l always pay.
00:21:59 l always win.
00:22:02 Two or three
00:22:05 -What kind of business?
00:22:08 -Classic or modern?
00:22:10 We need a locale.
00:22:14 -How about your place?
00:22:17 ln the Business Register
00:22:20 if it's residential or commercial.
00:22:24 You'll swindle the bank
00:22:25 -ln one week.
00:22:28 -The bank won't suspect?
00:22:31 We'll work with 3 different banks.
00:22:33 ln 90 days the company will disappear.
00:22:37 The café's address would be better.
00:22:39 That address is already a business.
00:22:44 Ok, it will only last for 90 days.
00:22:48 Vicent,
00:22:52 bring a little more wine.
00:23:02 Every hand was
00:23:05 Each reckless play,
00:23:08 like an enormous steel ball
00:23:21 lf before l enjoyed
00:23:23 now l heard the beat of my heart
00:23:44 -You're late.
00:23:46 We were waiting. Take a seat.
00:23:48 -Hello.
00:23:49 Good night.
00:23:57 Gentlemen,
00:23:58 he who hears a "Viva España"'
00:24:01 but doesn't respond '"Viva España
00:24:04 if a man, he's not Spanish;
00:24:08 -Viva España.
00:24:33 Two.
00:24:37 Four.
00:24:41 Three.
00:24:48 l shared the risk of ruin
00:24:51 and without a voice
00:24:59 He never abandoned a game,
00:25:05 and l wasn't used to it
00:25:09 Cards.
00:25:10 How many?
00:25:12 Two.
00:25:14 He lived permanently on the edge.
00:25:34 -Nervous?
00:25:36 This is the game.
00:26:11 l don't understand your relationship.
00:26:14 Why do you let her work
00:26:18 Maybe this is the only
00:26:21 -How is it she's always waiting?
00:26:30 -Hello, princess.
00:26:42 Why did he change
00:26:47 Hello Vicent. My table?
00:26:49 Perfect.
00:26:51 Did his standard of living inhibit
00:26:56 Maybe that was it
00:26:57 Still it seemed inconceivable,
00:27:29 They've been partying for a week.
00:27:32 More than tired, they're fed up
00:27:35 How do you know?
00:27:38 Excuse me,
00:27:42 We're students on vacation.
00:27:44 And your friends, what?
00:27:47 -We're going to the beach.
00:27:51 And then Marbella.
00:27:55 Go on, accompany her.
00:27:57 Don't worry about your friends.
00:27:58 l'll take them home later.
00:28:01 Did you hear?.
00:28:04 l'm leaving.
00:28:06 Go, damn it.
00:28:34 l don't remember her face or body.
00:28:39 Only that she gave me three days
00:28:42 and three nights of sex.
00:29:12 When you're happy you don't
00:29:19 Here. lt's for you. You'll like it.
00:29:24 Histoire du cinema.
00:29:29 Thanks, Catherine.
00:29:32 You should have lived May of'68,
00:29:35 everyone was active.
00:29:39 Not just in Paris, in all cities.
00:29:41 l can introduce you to a friend
00:29:44 of Cannes Film Festival
00:29:46 The people breathed desire,
00:29:49 lt impacted me, maybe for
00:29:53 or because it revived in me
00:29:57 l didn't pay to screw
00:30:00 to get some ideology classes.
00:30:03 Yes, power to imagination.
00:30:11 Ferran! Ferran!
00:30:15 -They're looking for you.
00:30:18 Because you haven't been home
00:30:20 Your folks called the cops
00:30:23 -Are you going to the village?
00:30:25 Go by my place and say l'm ok.
00:30:27 -Why not call?
00:30:30 lt'll be calm by the afternoon.
00:30:32 -Do me this favour.
00:30:36 ln paradise with a French girl,
00:30:39 free, left-winged and educated,
00:30:43 Ferran, speak
00:30:45 You're a champ!
00:30:50 Champ!
00:30:52 -l have to go back to the village.
00:31:03 You know what we've been through?
00:31:07 What's it matter?
00:31:09 lt's not so bad, woman.
00:31:11 You defend him.
00:31:14 This is what they taught you?
00:32:44 5000.
00:32:45 5000
00:32:49 and 3000 more.
00:32:50 l'm out.
00:32:52 10,000 more.
00:32:56 l pass.
00:32:57 Thank you, gentlemen.
00:33:01 Here.
00:33:03 Thanks.
00:33:06 -Want a sandwich?
00:33:11 lt scares me. The stakes are high.
00:33:14 You're doing well.
00:33:17 l'm doing well 'cause l'm not careful.
00:33:19 -Don't push your luck.
00:33:23 And if you give them a break?
00:33:26 They get confident and commit.
00:33:28 Perfect. lf they don't add
00:33:31 they have nothing to do.
00:33:34 lf l lose, l'll lose theirs,
00:33:37 lf l win, l'll make them
00:33:39 The more they put,
00:33:42 l can't give them any breaks.
00:33:46 That one is getting a transfussion.
00:33:53 He must have lost everything.
00:33:57 Cut.
00:33:58 His ego unbalanced him,
00:34:01 the possibility that anyone
00:34:04 He was the best, but now
00:34:08 -Speak.
00:34:11 Pass.
00:34:14 Fold.
00:34:16 Fold.
00:34:22 Two.
00:34:29 What do you have?
00:34:39 Triple.
00:34:46 l play it all.
00:34:52 54.
00:34:56 54 and l have preference.
00:34:58 You had 54 from the start
00:35:01 -l got it in the second round.
00:35:03 -lt's not true.
00:35:07 Get your hands out of there!
00:35:09 This is no time to fight.
00:35:16 -Chino, you should have killed him.
00:35:20 You can be sure
00:35:22 -Good night.
00:35:28 What will you do?
00:35:30 There's nowhere on earth he can hide.
00:35:38 l found a job
00:35:42 Really?
00:35:44 Good hours. Afternoons.
00:35:47 Where is it?
00:35:50 By the port.
00:35:51 No ilegal alchohol?
00:35:55 l told you, it's canned foods.
00:35:58 l don't know where they come from
00:36:01 Who got you this job?
00:36:05 l don't need any help.
00:36:13 How did he turn out this way?
00:36:24 -l hope they are the last.
00:36:32 lf l find out who stole the cake...
00:36:35 l invite the priest every day
00:36:37 -lgnore him.
00:36:39 Take it easy.
00:36:41 -What bastard could steal it?
00:36:43 -lt's because l'm a Moor.
00:36:46 l'm not saying.
00:36:47 Going to València tonight?
00:36:50 l go everynight.
00:37:03 l'd rather come alone than
00:37:07 -l don't need anyone to go party.
00:37:10 No. What do you think?
00:37:17 We don't see you very often.
00:37:26 Orange soda. With rum.
00:37:29 Awhisky.
00:37:32 lt's quite busy.
00:37:33 You can choose.
00:37:36 Where's Rosa?
00:37:37 She just came down.
00:37:46 l like... l like the plump one.
00:38:47 How are you?
00:38:48 Good, but you must tell me
00:38:51 -You came for me?
00:38:53 lt's been a long while.
00:38:55 l said he wouldn't escape
00:39:03 What happened?
00:39:05 -l got him.
00:39:07 -Playing.
00:39:10 -They were warned.
00:39:13 The instructions were that
00:39:16 l was told he was at a casino.
00:39:20 -54?
00:39:22 You should have seen
00:39:25 He realized that everyone knew.
00:39:27 l said l'd chase him
00:39:30 l didn't care what we'd play
00:39:35 -But l gave him an opportunity.
00:39:38 lf he was able to beat me that night
00:39:42 l'd let him go. But he had
00:39:45 -Did he accept?
00:39:47 lf not, he wouldn't have played again.
00:39:50 So you've recovered it?
00:39:52 l won double what l lost.
00:39:54 l'm on a roll.
00:39:58 More?
00:39:58 3 or 4 strong hands and then
00:40:01 lt's the only way to win.
00:40:05 and divide the rest.
00:40:07 Are you sure?
00:40:11 l'll give you 20% of the pot.
00:40:15 Good.
00:40:17 -Did you come with the Moor?
00:40:21 How'd he handle the cake issue?
00:40:24 Traumatized. Everyone's
00:40:32 -One day l'll tell him it was me.
00:40:35 Need a lift home?
00:40:37 l'll go back to the village
00:40:49 Do you have everything?
00:40:51 -See you tomorrow.
00:40:56 The plump one won't forget me.
00:40:58 She's satisfied.
00:41:01 Let's go to another bar, kid.
00:41:04 l don't have much cash.
00:41:11 His presence
00:41:16 He played against everyone,
00:41:20 That delirium exhausted me,
00:41:24 His card-shark nature,
00:41:29 l'll play it all
00:41:32 -What is ''it all''?
00:41:35 What's on the table
00:41:43 Two cards against one.
00:41:46 lf one of your cards beats mine,
00:41:50 l'm not supporting you.
00:41:53 And you?
00:41:56 lf you lose, you only pay half
00:42:01 lf you win, l'll give you it all.
00:42:08 You'll pay these.
00:42:10 The game went well for you.
00:42:12 You'll only lose
00:42:15 No. l pass.
00:42:18 -l accept. But l lift the card.
00:42:23 l shuffle. You cut and choose.
00:43:08 -lt's all good, right?
00:43:12 -When it happens, we'll talk.
00:43:15 My position's delicate.
00:43:17 lf we can't pay the bank,
00:43:20 Take it easy.
00:43:21 l've got trouble at home.
00:43:23 No need to complicate it.

00:43:39 We need to double the pot
00:43:42 lt's all or nothing, again.
00:43:44 There's still time to pay it.
00:43:46 lt's better if we have the money,
00:43:50 You worry too much.
00:43:54 Just one hand.
00:43:56 lt'll be your last.

00:44:16 -Who is it?
00:44:18 Afarmer from Castelló,
00:44:23 a kamikaze without a cause.
00:44:26 Apparently he has tons of money.
00:44:28 But he's not so bright.
00:44:32 Everything. l bet it all.
00:44:33 lt isn't worth taking.
00:44:35 You haven't put

00:45:12 lt's been a pleasure.
00:45:17 -Will you make him pay?
00:45:20 And throwing money around
00:45:24 l hate playing against
00:45:27 Yesterday's winnings
00:45:29 No. Agood game
00:45:31 So you don't complain,
00:45:42 What if he gave us a false address?
00:45:45 We'd say goodbye to a lot of
00:45:48 But we can make it all back.
00:46:02 -Good morning.
00:46:05 Vicent Llorens?
00:46:06 Boy!
00:46:11 -What do you want?
00:46:17 We can't pay it.

00:46:22 -ls he your husband?
00:46:27 l'm sorry but this money's mine.
00:46:31 l'd have paid him if he had won.

00:46:51 Leave us alone.
00:47:03 -l'll pay you.
00:47:05 Every 10 days,
00:47:10 Wait. You're paying a debt,
00:47:13 -Will you pay me in València?
00:47:17 They don't let you play
00:47:20 You're black-balled.
00:47:22 You'll play in València
00:47:25 and then you'll go somewhere else.
00:47:28 -l want to pay.
00:47:32 -Will you accept a delivery of manure?
00:47:36 Chicken.
00:47:37 -Chicken shit.

00:48:04 -Take it easy, Chino.
00:48:06 That fucker wants to pay
00:48:09 -Hitting him won't solve things.
00:48:18 Listen, seriously.
00:48:20 lf l hear about you playing
00:48:24 but you'll have to pay double,
00:48:27 for all the trouble. Understand?

00:48:35 -Do you understand?
00:48:39 Don't play with me.
00:48:43 Goodbye.
00:48:45 -Thank you, sir.
00:49:08 Hey, is chicken shit that good?
00:49:11 There's other shit,
00:49:14 l thought manure came from Chile.
00:49:16 At home we had chickens,
00:49:20 to enrich the earth in the garden.
00:49:22 l've unpacked a ton of shit!
00:49:24 You cleaned ditches,
00:49:27 Hadn't you studied with the Jesuits?
00:49:32 Good, this incident means we must
00:49:34 play as soon as possible
00:49:37 The village isn't ideal
00:49:40 -But the casino is?

00:57:18 We'll be in the papers?
00:57:22 They'll look at our lD

00:57:40 Well, well, well...
00:57:45 lf you reopen the gambling den,
00:57:48 lt won't happen again.
00:57:50 You stay here for now.

00:58:00 How am l? Take him away.

00:58:55 Marcos Baixauli.
00:58:57 Thanks.
00:58:59 Antonio Lloris.
00:59:09 Chino, l resign.
00:59:11 -But it was only minor.
00:59:14 ln addition to the bank scam,
00:59:18 Anything is trouble for you.
00:59:22 What shit is this?
00:59:27 l won't assume that this means
00:59:30 Really, Chino,
00:59:33 Agood friend.
00:59:34 l admire you, but there's a limit.
00:59:37 -Do you know your limits?
00:59:39 What luck. l don't.
00:59:41 -Really?
00:59:44 What's wrong?
00:59:46 Use your imagination,
00:59:49 Get on the train,
00:59:51 You could always jump off.
00:59:54 -How often have you been taken in?
00:59:57 l'm sure the owner of the house
01:00:01 -lf you knew, why...?
01:00:04 lt didn't matter.
01:00:06 With the cheater,
01:00:09 something always gets
01:00:12 Tomorrow we'll fix it, ok?
01:00:15 -Are you sure?
01:00:30 l gave you my word
01:00:33 What's it about?
01:00:34 Wear a nice suit, like mine.
01:00:36 Are you shitting me?
01:00:39 You don't have dress pants
01:00:41 Change and come.
01:00:43 -Can you explain?
01:00:45 Let's go. Hurry.
01:00:46 We need to be in Cullera by 2.
01:00:56 Nothing. A check round.
01:00:58 l work with them and Hispano.
01:01:00 Here, l'll deposit from Hispano.
01:01:02 Normally, they don't give the money
01:01:06 unless the director
01:01:09 And credit it quickly.
01:01:11 We need the cash to buy furniture
01:01:14 l trust you, Baixauli, but...
01:01:16 We can't miss this opportunity.
01:01:19 We need to buy the whole set.
01:01:21 l'm a good client. l think l deserve
01:01:25 This isn't about confidence,
01:01:28 But after we give you the money
01:01:32 the inspector could check in.
01:01:33 -Why would he come?
01:01:38 When was the last inspection?
01:01:41 They haven't made one
01:01:43 -Damn! Well...
01:01:46 Let's see, we're talking
01:01:48 lf not, l'll have to go
01:01:53 -8 days, no more.
01:02:09 -And the comission?
01:02:12 For creating a fake society.
01:02:15 On top of teaching you to live?
01:02:18 Should l specialize
01:02:21 That's life.
01:02:39 Good afternoon.
01:02:48 -Are you open?
01:02:50 Give me a whisky. Dyc.
01:03:50 Are you bored?
01:03:52 No.
01:03:56 -Where's Rosa?
01:04:00 Where is she now?
01:04:29 -l was looking for you at the Cartago.
01:04:34 -Didn't look.
01:04:39 Yes.
01:04:40 Liar. You've been 2 or 3 times
01:04:44 She told you?
01:04:45 Chino, l...
01:04:47 -Would you like to fuck her?
01:04:51 Yes or no?
01:04:53 Yeh. l would.
01:04:57 But not like you think.
01:04:59 And of all the whores,
01:05:03 Yes.
01:05:05 -But you don't dare because of me.
01:05:12 She's a princess.
01:05:13 She's where a woman
01:05:16 Where?
01:05:16 ln her village with her brother.
01:05:21 Maybe she loves the man
01:05:26 She's only grateful.
01:05:28 Will you go see her some day?
01:05:31 Listen, it's gotten complicated.
01:05:33 Officially, l've disappeared.
01:05:37 What will you do?
01:05:38 l've closed the company.
01:05:40 -You're problem free.
01:05:42 So you're a few days late.
01:05:46 lt's that l don't want to.
01:05:49 They won't do me
01:05:51 So...
01:05:53 l'm going to Madrid.
01:06:09 -The normal.
01:06:12 For now, a return trip.
01:06:16 The games there are better
01:06:18 Are you going for the game
01:06:20 A little of both.
01:06:23 When things calm down,
01:06:25 Don't know. No plans. And you?
01:06:28 -l'd like to see a game in Madrid.
01:06:32 l don't have much cash.
01:06:33 The ticket and hotel in exchange
01:06:37 -l haven't payed off my debt.
01:06:41 So, turning a new page.
01:06:45 A new adventure.
01:06:47 You don't miss anything from before?
01:07:14 Superstitions are different in Madrid.
01:07:16 To light 3 cigarettes
01:07:19 -For who?
01:07:23 Don't look at them.
01:07:24 l will. l'll light as many as
01:07:28 l'll enjoy doing it.
01:07:30 -Expresso with Terry.
01:07:33 Here the jinx stands behind
01:07:36 -l'll go behind.
01:07:39 They won't burn you.
01:07:41 -But they think you will.
01:07:44 They don't know.
01:07:47 He can use it when he wants.
01:07:48 Even in illegal casinos
01:07:57 You can tell cause they got faces
01:08:00 You look skinny, but good.
01:08:03 Let's go, game's at 11.
01:08:06 lf you think you'll win, you will.
01:08:28 -Good evening.
01:08:29 lDs, please.
01:08:36 Baixauli? Where's that name from?
01:08:40 The postman.
01:08:52 Mr. Marcos?
01:08:55 Wait for me.
01:09:00 -Good evening.
01:09:05 Nice to meet you. Like-wise.
01:09:28 -l'll see that.
01:09:30 Me, too.
01:09:52 Your 100 and 200 more.
01:09:56 -200.
01:09:58 l'm in.
01:09:59 Pass.
01:10:10 Let's rest, please.
01:10:19 l asked for a rest.
01:10:20 -How's it going?
01:10:22 -And the jinxs?
01:10:25 -What's your strategy?
01:10:28 They think l'm a cheapskate.
01:10:32 -When will you catch them?
01:10:35 There's no time limit in the game.
01:10:40 l'm bored.
01:10:45 lf l don't need you it's better.
01:10:54 He won a lot of money. A lot.
01:11:00 He won...
01:11:02 and won...
01:11:04 and won.
01:11:07 What did l tell you?
01:11:10 You could pay off
01:11:13 They'd take you off the black list.
01:11:15 Simple soul, you worry
01:11:19 Here's to Madrid!
01:11:53 Next Thursday
01:12:05 l was ignoring that it was
01:12:10 The last day l spoke with him
01:12:13 was the evening of the day
01:12:16 Not that l don't want to,
01:12:20 No. lt's not family. lt's...
01:12:24 A friend's in trouble.
01:12:29 l'll tell you later.
01:12:30 See you Thursday afternoon
01:12:32 Ok. Hope you understand.
01:12:35 We'll go another day.
01:12:37 Those were the last words.
01:12:46 Chino didn't show up.
01:12:50 l waited from noon
01:12:58 Next day l went back, but nothing.
01:13:04 Saturday l went by the games.
01:13:08 No-one knew anything.
01:13:12 Sunday l called the place where
01:13:15 He wasn't there.
01:13:18 He had my number.
01:13:24 The following Thursday
01:13:28 5 hours more to wait
01:13:33 For some weeks l went to the games
01:13:36 -lf you see him, let me know, ok?
01:13:39 -Chino hasn't been around?
01:13:41 Everyone said he was in Madrid.
01:13:44 But where? Playing.
01:13:52 l knew he played.
01:13:57 Why didn't he call?
01:13:59 Did he think my not going with him
01:14:02 was a way of distancing myself?.
01:14:14 After afew months without news,
01:14:18 -Want to play a game?
01:14:24 Normality seeped into my life.
01:14:27 l missed him,
01:14:30 had been an adventure,
01:14:34 Turn the page, l told myself.
01:14:39 34 years later,
01:14:43 fate sent me back
01:14:46 to a professional game.
01:14:51 l played to win,
01:14:55 as the confidence and conviction
01:14:58 that l was able
01:15:04 49.
01:15:07 lt's yours.
01:15:08 l won a lot.
01:15:12 Thank you. lt's been a pleasure.
01:15:15 Alex. You're a champ.
01:15:19 Been ages since l've seen someone
01:15:22 -l had something to prove myself.
01:15:24 But never again. lt scares me to win,
01:15:28 That's not normal.
01:15:29 You end up losing the same or more.
01:15:31 And if you lose, you'll play again.
01:15:33 l'm afraid
01:15:36 Truth is the game brings satisfaction
01:15:38 and misfortune too.
01:15:40 l hate casinos.
01:15:43 They're the addiction of the poor.
01:15:47 For me it's too late to fix.
01:15:50 l've been playing more than 40 years.
01:15:52 Do you like the paella?
01:15:54 For curiosity, to know
01:15:57 who'd been at the tables
01:16:02 l met him for lunch the next day.
01:16:04 Which players do you like
01:16:07 Nowadays it's all the same to me,
01:16:10 but throughout life
01:16:14 Vicent of Sueca,
01:16:18 Chino...
01:16:19 Chino?
01:16:22 -You knew Chino?
01:16:25 l met him in Madrid.
01:16:29 We both came from València
01:16:34 He had good luck.
01:16:38 He won a fortune thanks
01:16:43 A rum and... a couple cigars?
01:16:46 No. A little cigar.
01:16:50 A glass of whisky.
01:16:52 -Do you know if he made it to Vegas?
01:16:55 -l'd say he did.
01:16:57 Real gamblers
01:17:01 Vegas is a common-place.
01:17:03 An amusment park for tourists
01:17:05 Chino would have laughed at them.
01:17:09 He was something...
01:17:11 His life was a novel.
01:17:13 A novel?
01:17:15 No player knows
01:17:17 Man, no player wants to quit.
01:17:20 Chino was special.
01:17:22 He was a little crazy,
01:17:24 above the normal player.
01:17:27 He didn't feel integrated.
01:17:29 He grew up in an orphanage.
01:17:33 Didn't know his father
01:17:36 he was adopted and returned twice.
01:17:40 He was really proud.
01:17:42 He escaped three times.
01:17:47 l guess the poor nuns
01:17:50 felt really relieved.
01:17:53 Thanks.
01:17:55 The players interest me
01:17:58 What did Chino have that
01:18:01 -For me, it was something personal.
01:18:05 He was like a brother.
01:18:07 Between the social revolution
01:18:12 he helped me get
01:18:19 l even went with him
01:18:22 After, l didn't have any news.
01:18:26 He tried in Madrid also,
01:18:30 but it didn't turn out.
01:18:33 He fell into the trap
01:18:35 With one who he owed
01:18:40 he proposed to cancel the debt
01:18:43 with a game of Russian Roulet.
01:18:47 The debtor accepted.
01:18:50 lt was on the outskirts,
01:18:54 There were 15 or 20 people there.
01:18:57 l didn't go.
01:19:01 Gentlemen.
01:19:08 When it was all ready, he took
01:19:14 l'll play twice.
01:19:16 First, for the debt.
01:19:20 A million pesetas between everyone.
01:19:22 lmagine, a guy capable
01:19:25 twice in the same night
01:19:28 The guys were rubbing their hands.
01:19:31 He still made another request.
01:19:34 One more thing.
01:19:35 lf l die, bury me...
01:19:39 There, in that little forest. Ok?
01:20:19 Typical of him. As if to say,
01:20:22 ''l give you a moment of emotion
01:20:26 Enjoy Chino.''
01:20:28 He was crazy. He needed
01:20:31 Maybe it's what he missed
01:20:34 For months,
01:20:35 in Madrid they spoke of nothing else.
01:20:39 His fame broke the boundaries.
01:20:43 People with money
01:20:44 payed enormous sums
01:20:48 l lost contact with him.
01:20:50 The last time l saw him,
01:20:55 He'd won a lot of money.
01:20:59 What need did he have
01:21:02 if he'd won enough
01:21:06 To know he wouldn't doubt
01:21:11 The true size of the abyss.
01:21:21 l ask myself if Chino existed
01:21:24 or if he wasjust the result
01:21:29 of my desire to betray
01:21:31 imbedded like a staple in my mind,
01:21:34 of my childlike insistence
01:21:37 to protect me from a structured,
01:22:08 Chino was my god for a long time.
01:22:11 He should still be,
01:22:14 affraid to learn
01:22:18 against social conventions.
01:22:21 l'm still useless,
01:22:23 from the safety of the vulgar
01:22:49 ln some lush
01:22:54 the body of a man
01:22:58 Of an anguished breed,
01:23:02 a night creature.
01:23:09 Like a marked card.
01:23:13 An abysmal life.
01:23:20 LlFE ON THE EDGE
