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. |
00:43:24 |
lt's going well! l'm on a roll! |
00:43:26 |
lt'll go well |
00:43:28 |
-lt's paid. We have lots of money. |
00:43:32 |
lt's ok. lt's ok. |
00:43:34 |
Another hand. |
00:43:36 |
No. Pay it tomorrow. |
00:43:37 |
lf we pay the bank, |
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. |
00:43:59 |
Your 2000... |
00:44:03 |
and 5000 more. |
00:44:06 |
No. |
00:44:11 |
The 2. |
00:44:14 |
your 5... |
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 |
00:44:37 |
lf you let me owe you, |
00:44:43 |
lt's five times what you have. |
00:44:49 |
Yes. |
00:44:50 |
Show your cards. |
00:44:54 |
48. |
00:44:56 |
52. How could you play |
00:44:59 |
Are you crazy or what? |
00:45:00 |
84... |
00:45:04 |
You can come |
00:45:07 |
Here's the tally and the address. |
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. |
00:46:20 |
-Card debts are sacred. |
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. |
00:46:35 |
-We can't pay. |
00:46:39 |
l don't know. lt's not the 1st time |
00:46:43 |
l understand, but we don't have |
00:46:47 |
Relax. |
00:46:50 |
l'll take care of it. |
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. |
00:47:39 |
-1st class manure. |
00:47:42 |
-What will l do with chicken shit? |
00:47:45 |
l swear it has a good market. |
00:47:48 |
-You pay everyone with shit? |
00:47:51 |
What? You need all the shit |
00:47:55 |
You're a rotten player. |
00:47:57 |
But as you pay with chicken crap... |
00:48:00 |
l insist it's high quality. |
00:48:02 |
l swear l'll punch you! |
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? |
00:48:29 |
l have friends everywhere, |
00:48:32 |
lf you play, l'll know. |
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? |
00:49:45 |
-Never been in one? |
00:49:48 |
Get ready for a real experience. |
00:49:58 |
Let's go, Ferran. lt's time. |
00:50:03 |
What are you up to now? |
00:50:07 |
Sedamueble, lnc. |
00:50:11 |
Furniture sales. |
00:50:12 |
ln the café? |
00:50:15 |
The Moor brought them. |
00:50:21 |
lt's provisional. |
00:50:25 |
They can send you mail at home. |
00:50:27 |
l don't want help. |
00:50:32 |
-And you're ok? |
00:50:36 |
lt's better to be a businessman |
00:50:39 |
Like this you'll get far. |
00:50:45 |
Fucking Moor. |
00:50:47 |
Relax. Tonight's winnings |
00:50:50 |
We'll get rich. |
00:50:53 |
Then Vegas. |
00:50:56 |
You'll see the craziness. |
00:50:59 |
Yeh, but first... |
00:51:01 |
Vegas is like fireworks in crescendo. |
00:51:03 |
They even play in the pools |
00:51:06 |
lncredible, man. l dream |
00:51:09 |
lsles and isles of card tables, |
00:51:13 |
-100's of slot machines... |
00:51:17 |
Gaming paradise. |
00:51:19 |
You live, sleep, eat gambling. |
00:51:23 |
Las Vegas. |
00:51:26 |
12 o'clock. Now we can enter. |
00:51:52 |
lt's been so long. |
00:51:55 |
-A friend. |
00:51:57 |
-Of course! |
00:52:07 |
33. Black. Uneven. Pass. |
00:52:26 |
What do you want me to play, |
00:52:29 |
54. |
00:52:40 |
400. |
00:52:45 |
1000 and 1000 more. |
00:52:47 |
Gentlemen, l'm out. |
00:52:52 |
Your 1000, 2000 more. |
00:52:58 |

00:53:04 |
Gentlemen, 54. |
00:53:12 |
2000. |
00:53:16 |
l'll see them. |
00:53:20 |
Well, a rest, gentlemen? |
00:53:31 |
Friends, |
00:53:34 |
one day you'll find that |
00:53:37 |
who was a princess, |
00:53:40 |
who left me |
00:53:42 |
along the longest and darkest |
00:53:45 |
But l will always imagine her |
00:53:48 |
in her radiant beauty. |
00:53:51 |
l'll describe her: |
00:53:53 |
she's a beauty, a whore |
00:53:59 |
She was mine. |
00:54:01 |
lf you see her, |
00:54:04 |
in the same brothel |
00:54:08 |
Tell her l still love her, |
00:54:13 |
Tell her to be happy, |
00:54:18 |
because in my sleeplessness |
00:54:22 |
and in a soft voice, |
00:54:25 |
as if she were still in my arms, |
00:54:29 |
l'll tenderly say to her, |
00:54:32 |
''Good night, princess whore.'' |
00:54:41 |
Let's play? |
00:54:57 |
Your 2000... |
00:55:01 |
3000 more. |
00:55:04 |

00:55:31 |
Calm down! Please! |
00:55:34 |
Police! Open the door! |
00:55:42 |
Move it, damn it! |
00:55:50 |
Well, well, well... |
00:55:58 |
Outside, one by one. Let's go! |
00:56:27 |
Mouths shut! |
00:57:12 |
Lighten up, |
00:57:15 |
Write us up? |
00:57:18 |
We'll be in the papers? |
00:57:22 |
They'll look at our lD |
00:57:25 |
''Confiscated by government order'', |
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. |
00:57:52 |
The others... |
00:57:53 |
-Sir... |
00:57:55 |
-l'm only... |
00:57:58 |
How are you, sir? |
00:58:00 |
How am l? Take him away. |
00:58:06 |
Gentlemen, gambling is prohibited. |
00:58:10 |
l'm confiscating all the money. |
00:58:14 |
We've made note of who you are. |
00:58:16 |
lf this happens again, |
00:58:21 |
Understand? |
00:58:23 |
Give them back. |
00:58:28 |

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 |
