1
00:01:07,313 --> 00:01:11,829
THE CONSUL OF SODOM
2
00:01:40,433 --> 00:01:42,389
Is it true you're a poet?
3
00:01:43,553 --> 00:01:46,147
Well... I'd prefer
to be thought of as a poem.
4
00:01:47,953 --> 00:01:48,544
Jaime
5
00:01:49,513 --> 00:01:50,229
So what now?
6
00:01:52,113 --> 00:01:53,228
Now everything
7
00:01:54,793 --> 00:01:56,465
Excuse me.
8
00:04:43,073 --> 00:04:43,949
Come in.
9
00:04:47,873 --> 00:04:49,192
Go and sleep in your bedroom.
10
00:05:02,193 --> 00:05:05,105
Don't make a noise. my mother's asleep.
11
00:05:32,193 --> 00:05:33,387
How do you like it?
12
00:06:38,913 --> 00:06:41,108
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
13
00:06:52,353 --> 00:06:53,388
Are you all right?
14
00:07:05,673 --> 00:07:06,628
Thank you
15
00:07:09,473 --> 00:07:10,667
Bye, Johnny.
16
00:08:04,153 --> 00:08:05,268
Let's lower. .
17
00:08:05,473 --> 00:08:07,589
-the percentage.
-Absolutely not My father
18
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:09,061
would never allow it.
19
00:09:16,593 --> 00:09:20,222
Good for you
Don't keep her waiting any longer
20
00:09:27,673 --> 00:09:29,504
I'm going to miss all this.
21
00:09:31,353 --> 00:09:33,150
Not as much as you think.
22
00:09:35,193 --> 00:09:36,069
Why's that?
23
00:09:37,633 --> 00:09:39,271
What's going on, Victor?
24
00:09:49,553 --> 00:09:50,033
Those are the least compromising
25
00:09:50,033 --> 00:09:51,182
Those are the least compromising
26
00:09:52,953 --> 00:09:54,591
Where did these come from?
27
00:09:54,833 --> 00:09:57,393
I don't know.
paid an intermediary.
28
00:09:57,593 --> 00:10:00,346
-You're giving in to blackmail over me?
-Sorry, Jaime.
29
00:10:00,593 --> 00:10:03,027
But your father asked me
to look out for you
30
00:10:03,673 --> 00:10:04,583
My father?
31
00:10:06,113 --> 00:10:07,432
He knows about this?
32
00:10:09,833 --> 00:10:13,428
Look, Jaime.. Your private life
is none of my business but ..
33
00:10:13,633 --> 00:10:15,191
So keep out of it.
34
00:10:23,273 --> 00:10:25,787
Then I heard that I'd be going,
35
00:10:25,993 --> 00:10:27,631
that wherever I went
36
00:10:27,873 --> 00:10:32,105
I'd have a bed and a book to read.
37
00:10:32,433 --> 00:10:35,425
But others would not be leaving
They would stay on for years
38
00:10:35,633 --> 00:10:39,228
without being able to wait furiously
for 7 o'clock to come and so escape,
39
00:10:39,433 --> 00:10:41,344
to leap to the other side of life.
40
00:10:42,713 --> 00:10:46,752
And that - the abject misery,
a life of constant harassment
41
00:10:46,993 --> 00:10:51,828
by their needs -
will be their lives,
42
00:10:52,673 --> 00:10:54,948
their whole existence.
43
00:10:57,953 --> 00:11:00,421
Ladies, the communist is back.
44
00:11:01,233 --> 00:11:02,666
You haven't been there
45
00:11:04,033 --> 00:11:07,025
Many farmers have had to sell
their children as if they were slaves.
46
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:09,463
Jaime, please!
That's so unpleasant
47
00:11:09,673 --> 00:11:13,552
When Dad comes. tell him to give
the plantations to the peasants.
48
00:11:14,993 --> 00:11:16,984
Don't talk politics at table!
49
00:11:17,393 --> 00:11:19,953
This isn't politics, mother.
It's justice.
50
00:11:20,353 --> 00:11:22,150
Keep that for your poems.
51
00:11:23,233 --> 00:11:25,144
Jaime. did you write anything new
52
00:11:25,353 --> 00:11:26,752
-in the Philippines?
-Two verses
53
00:11:26,993 --> 00:11:28,267
in three months.
54
00:11:29,353 --> 00:11:32,425
Mr Jaime, there are two men
from the political brigade
55
00:11:32,673 --> 00:11:34,391
asking for you.
56
00:11:36,073 --> 00:11:37,825
Show them through to the study
57
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:45,948
'In the heat,
58
00:11:46,553 --> 00:11:47,986
after the thickness,
59
00:11:48,753 --> 00:11:51,108
the river returns to the land '
60
00:11:51,713 --> 00:11:52,907
My grandfather,
61
00:11:54,073 --> 00:11:55,950
the Speaker of the House,
62
00:11:56,513 --> 00:11:57,866
during the Republic
63
00:11:58,313 --> 00:11:59,541
Good evening.
64
00:11:59,793 --> 00:12:01,146
I'm Inspector Creix
65
00:12:02,353 --> 00:12:04,947
This is Sub-inspector Garrido.
We just wanted
66
00:12:05,193 --> 00:12:06,342
to talk to you for a moment.
67
00:12:06,553 --> 00:12:07,986
What about?
68
00:12:08,233 --> 00:12:09,348
You write. .
69
00:12:09,553 --> 00:12:11,066
poetry. don't you?
70
00:12:11,753 --> 00:12:15,109
-Yes. I try.
-Do you associate
71
00:12:15,313 --> 00:12:17,224
with other poets and writers?
72
00:12:17,753 --> 00:12:18,947
With some.
73
00:12:25,073 --> 00:12:26,267
Do you know these?
74
00:12:27,233 --> 00:12:29,428
I know them a .
Some better than others.
75
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:31,789
You know they're communists?
76
00:12:34,033 --> 00:12:35,307
Some have been arrested
77
00:12:35,673 --> 00:12:38,506
and it won't be long
before the others are too.
78
00:12:41,073 --> 00:12:42,267
Are you warning. .
79
00:12:42,473 --> 00:12:43,872
or threatening me?
80
00:12:46,553 --> 00:12:47,702
Leo.
81
00:12:50,313 --> 00:12:52,508
'It seems we can declare
ourselves to be men.
82
00:12:53,793 --> 00:12:55,749
It seems we can say no.
83
00:12:56,273 --> 00:12:58,025
To say no once in the street
84
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:01,747
for all the other times
we could not say it.''
85
00:13:03,433 --> 00:13:04,866
Did you write that?
86
00:13:06,193 --> 00:13:07,865
-Yes.
-Leaflets like these
87
00:13:08,073 --> 00:13:09,791
were handed out
at the students' strike
88
00:13:11,793 --> 00:13:12,623
Did you know that?
89
00:13:12,873 --> 00:13:15,103
I just got back
from the Philippines.
90
00:13:15,473 --> 00:13:16,588
An acquaintance of yours
91
00:13:17,153 --> 00:13:19,542
told us about you
at the police station
92
00:13:20,673 --> 00:13:21,628
What did he say?
93
00:13:22,713 --> 00:13:24,510
That you're a queer.
94
00:13:24,993 --> 00:13:26,312
And a very clever one.
95
00:13:28,193 --> 00:13:30,866
Don't come to Barcelona at the moment.
96
00:13:31,673 --> 00:13:33,391
It's quieter in Cadaques.
97
00:13:35,513 --> 00:13:37,105
-Jaime.
-Manuel.
98
00:13:39,033 --> 00:13:40,432
-How are you?
-Hello.
99
00:13:41,593 --> 00:13:43,265
Stay in hiding for the time being.
100
00:13:43,633 --> 00:13:45,146
There have been arrests.
101
00:13:45,393 --> 00:13:47,031
But we're rid of
the official candidates
102
00:13:47,233 --> 00:13:49,793
They'll process them. .
it's a setback..
103
00:13:50,233 --> 00:13:52,667
then send them home.
All sons of winners.
104
00:13:52,873 --> 00:13:56,070
Manuel, I also regret the beatings
105
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:58,429
-I've never had.
-Can't you see, Jaime?
106
00:13:58,633 --> 00:14:00,544
An enemy in the home
changes everything
107
00:14:00,753 --> 00:14:01,469
I know.
108
00:14:02,153 --> 00:14:04,986
And I want to be part of that.
But really so.
109
00:14:06,273 --> 00:14:07,388
Your gin and tonic.
110
00:14:07,833 --> 00:14:09,027
Thank you
111
00:14:09,233 --> 00:14:11,428
-Mr Mars's here.
-Tell him to come in.
112
00:14:12,593 --> 00:14:14,868
Well, well, the worker-writer.
113
00:14:15,873 --> 00:14:17,864
Congratulations on your novel.
It's excellent
114
00:14:18,073 --> 00:14:19,745
Thank you I hope
115
00:14:19,953 --> 00:14:22,387
can I stop being the worker now
and just be the writer.
116
00:14:23,793 --> 00:14:25,146
The regime's tottering. Juan.
117
00:14:25,553 --> 00:14:27,191
Some have been saying that
for 20 years
118
00:14:27,953 --> 00:14:29,227
Juan's a born sceptic.
119
00:14:29,633 --> 00:14:31,749
That's why his novel's so decadent.
120
00:14:32,273 --> 00:14:34,548
I only describe
what I see, more or less
