The Carnival of the Beasts (Human Beasts)
Guest starring JULIA SALY As "Teresa""
Bruno, you mean a great deal to me,
but I’ve been lying to you, and I don’t want to lie anymore.
Lying?
Yes.
Your name is Bruno Rivera,
and neither one of us was a tourist when we met in Hong Kong.
You were there to collect some money someone owed you,
and I went there Looking for you.
Yes, I was looking for the mercenary--
the man who had been in Rhodesia,
Angola, and Vietnam.
I wanted the safest man with a weapon in his hand.
A real professional.
My organization needs you.
Well, this is a surprise. You certainly know a lot about me.
When we are interested in someone,
we find out absolutely everything about them.
And you are interested in me. That much is clear.
Yes.
But something’s happened that I was not expecting.
And that is?
I have fallen in Love with you.
We are both good actors.
I knew it from the beginning, but I went along with your game
because I’ve liked you ever since I first saw you.
Now the acting is over.
It's better that way. Wouldn’t you say so?
who leads the organization?
Taro, a great man, a true idealist opposed to armed fighting...
though he’s beginning to realize there is no other way.
when will I meet him?
In a few days.
There is a time for everything, my love.
I want to extend our stay in Jacone as long as possible.
You truly admire your Leader. Do you know him well?
Absolutely! Taro is my brother.
- And what do I bring to your group? - Diamonds.
Diamonds?
Exactly.
You will help us get the diamonds,
and we will convert them into cash.
The organization is expensive.
Oh, and don’t worry.
We'll pay you half before you start the operation,
and the rest as soon as it’s done.
I’m beginning to like this.
I’m happy to say
That the information Mieko has given me about you...
Is absolutely true.
I suppose you want to know why we want to hire you.
I’m talking about the real cause.
- I think I know it. - Not all of it.
It’s all right. She only speaks Japanese.
Besides, I’m not going to speak
Of our real ideology with a stranger.
Your mission is clear already.
We are expecting you to be effective.
If that’s what you're expecting, That’s what you will have.
Teaching.
What do you mean, teaching?
When you work, your companions Will be young militants.
Right now, they’re only amateurs...
But watching you work,
They’ll acquire experience.
They are disciplined, obedient.
They believe in the cause,
And they are faithful even to death.
It is clear. The kamikazes are back.
I must warn you.
Since the organization began, There has never been a traitor among us.
But then, it is absurd for me To speak to you about treason.
Why?
Because treason Is incompatible with family ties--
Inconceivable in Japan,
Where the institution of the family Is incorruptible and sacred.
I Love Mieko, But we’re not a family yet.
Children are the true seed Of the family...
And my sister Is pregnant with your chide.
Such a profound situation
Forces me to grant Mieko permission
To go away with you and abandon us
When your mission is over.
Naturally, you must be married first.
It is the right thing to do.
Of course. Of course.
Kanpai.
That road is the only suitable place.
There's no traffic.
The car will come around 11:40.
The representative of the Amsterdam Jewel Company is in it.
He'll have the stones.
The diamonds will be well protected.
We must be prepared.
If they have decided to take that road,
It is precisely to avoid risks.
Give me that! Quickly!
Take it, but don’t shoot! Keep it all, but don’t kill me!
Why did you kill him? He was helpless!
It was not necessary.
Didn’t you want a professional? Professionals don’t leave witnesses.
I regret killing him. I forgot you hate violence.
Ah! It’s incredible!
We can say the organization is secure.
I"ll sell them at once!
You will do no such thing! Not a single stone! I’m taking them all.
I"ll shoot the first one that moves!
I’m sorry. It’s too much of a temptation.
Goodbye, little one.
Kill me, too!
I don’t have the courage to kill you.
We will learn to use weapons.
We will find him wherever he goes.
Mieko, I’ve never seen a man With kills Like Bruno’s.
I don’t think it’s a good idea To go after him.
He’s a coward, a traitor. It has to be done.
That son of a bitch Is entrenched in the ruins.
He controls the road, And he just shot the Turk.
Things are getting ugly.
Take this. See if you can make him jump.
Try to surprise him.
We’ll get as close to the curve As possible and cover you from there.
That ought to distract him.
Very well. Let’s go!
Let’s go. The woman will be there When we reach the curve.
It looks like we got him after all.
If he’s dead, where are the diamonds? We may never know.
Bruno had the diamonds when he ran. We have to find him.
If he’s alive, we could get caught In a deadly trap.
We have no choice. Let’s go.
Bruno, you killed my brother.
I really will kill you this time!
I will find you!
Wherever you are, I will find you!
I will kill you...
Bruno!
I will kill you! I swear!
I love you. I love you like I’ve never loved anyone before.
Please, don’t move.
You’re still very weak.
My daughters, Alicia and Monica.
Where am I? How did I get here?
You were saved Thanks to Alicia’s Love for hunting.
The scope of her rife Found you in the bushes just in time.
A Little Longer And you would have bled to death.
Have I been here very long?
Yes, quite some time.
At times we’ve feared the worst. Your condition has been critical.
But you are very lucky. I am a doctor.
I want to...
You shouldn’t talk any more. Rest. You are still very weak.
Good morning, sleepyhead.
Good morning, Alicia.
You’ve had a very peaceful night. No fever. No nightmares.
Have you been here all night?
I have taken turns With my father and my sister.
You must now take this medicine.
You know, my blood Runs through your veins.
You needed a transfusion. I’m a universal donor.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
How long will it take me to recover?
You must wait. Don’t be impatient.
Good Lord, this is some meat!
You’re exaggerating, Don Serafin!
Tense and hard meat, Just like marble.
Raquel, you’re so fine.
When will you say yes? And make me happy?
You’re not up to the workout, Don Serafin. You are so puny.
I promise you, I’m dynamite. Pure dynamite!
Be a good black girl and Light my fire!
Come on, Mr. Veterinarian, I must get back to the kitchen.
My stew will burn. Another day.
When I come back to inoculate the pigs, You’re not getting away from me.
I"ll give you a shot, too!
Well, Don Serafin, see you later.
Sweet Little Raquel, Save me some of that stew you make.
The one from the other day Was finger-Licking good.
I don’t know where You put what you eat.
You’re a glutton, Don Serafin!
And you are the best cook In the world, black momma!
You’re happy aren’t you?
If you only knew what awaits you!
We’ve bought you some new clothes. I hope we got the right size.
You’re getting better each day. You'll be able to get up soon.
I’m hoping for that.
Being so weak, without strength, Makes me feel like...
- Like a child. Right? - Yes, something Like that.
You must take these capsules now.
I want everything to go smoothly tomorrow.
No deaths.
I’m confident Bruno will do a good job.
Mieko...
I have a feeling you were wrong To choose that man.
It worries me.
I love him.
I love him from the bottom of my heart.
I see. This is the path You’ve chosen.
I pray for your happiness.
Father, aren’t we giving him too many tranquilizers?
For now it’s good that way.
If he responds as I expect, I"ll reduce the dose in a few days.
Who could he be?
That doesn’t matter.
Regardless of who he is, we must get him through this.
what will we do with him?
It’s clear. We’ll help him. We’ll help him get well again.
We’ll try to nurse him back to heath.
Help him recover.
Did you have something else in mind?
No, of course not.
By the way, where’s your sister?
Probably taking care of the patient. Miss Monica is very dedicated.
Dinner is ready.
Tell her to come down for dinner.
We’ll leave him by himself tonight. I don’t think there’ll be any problems.
We’ll all be able to rest.
Monica, come down for dinner.
You were spying on me!
Don’t be stupid!
Father says we don’t have To stay here with him tonight.
Oh, yeah? And Leave the way open
For dear sweet Alicia to come up here Whenever you feel like it?
Get ready for dinner And stop behaving like an idiot!
Of course. You’re the perfect woman.
The toy is yours, And only you can play with him.
You’ve given him your blood. So now he’s yours, isn’t that so?
Well, that’s not how it’s going to be.
Shut up, Monica!
He’s going to be mine! Mine!
You’ll be sorry for this!
How long are we going to play? The Good Samaritans?
Raquel, watch what you say!
I’m right. That man will be trouble.
Why so much attention For someone we don’t even know,
Who has one foot in the grave?
He’s strong. He will heal.
We’ll do everything possible To nurse him back to heath completely.
- And who’ll be the first to devour him? - Enough, Raquel! That’s enough!
Why should I be quiet? The man is full of bullet holes.
There might be an investigation, And we’ll be in a heap of trouble!
Maybe he’s a thief, a terrorist--
That’s none of your business!
Now we’ve had it! Fiery Monica has set eyes on him!
You’re disgusting!
Father, this can’t go on. You must do something.
She gets worse each day!
We’re all very tired. Good night, girls.
She’s going to pay for this!
You’re our maid, Raquel!
You can’t talk that way To my daughters!
Harder, harder, Don Simon!
They are your Ladies, And I am your master!
Hit harder! Harder!
We brought you with us From Africa
So you’d serve us And be loyal to us!
I don’t like to do this, but I must.
You have no manners!
You’re insolent and shameless!
Yes! More! Whip me more!
Yes! That’s it! That’s it!
The door. The door.
I admire you, Mieko. I admire your faith.
I lost mine a long time ago.
A life without ideals has no meaning.
Mieko.
No.
No, Mieko, no!
Don’t shoot! No!
Let’s go! Hurry! Help me.
He must have had a nightmare.
The wound to the forehead Might have serious consequences.
He has lost a Lot of blood again. He’ll need another transfusion.
I’m ready.
He must have rolled down the steps. It’s a miracle he didn’t kill himself.
It was going to be a restful night. There was no danger, right, Father?
Shut up, Monica!
We could have lost him!
Yes, lost him!
Is something wrong, Bridget?
You have company, Don Serafin. In the Little office.
Very well.
Get lunch ready. I’ll be very busy today.
Hello.
Don Serafin?
Yes, that’s me.
How can I help you?
I was told in town that you are The one who knows this region best,
And you know its people.
I need some information, And I will pay generously for it.
Have a seat, please. Perhaps an aperitif?
I have a fine wine. I make it myself.
Bridget! Come here A moment, Bridget!
After a glass of this fine wine, We’ll chat more comfortably.
- Please have a seat. - Thank you.
Make yourself at home.
Alicia thanks for everything.
You really scared us.
I don’t know what to say. This is too much.
The danger is over. You will soon be well.
That’s what matters.
You can’t complain, Don Simon. Some specimen this is!
Modesty aside, My service is noteworthy.
You cost me good money Each month, my friend.
The hams this year will be the finest. Ready when you are.
Very well, let’s go. The biggest one first.
Don’t scare him. He might bite us.
The suckling pigs In this house are very evil.
Two years ago, My cousin went into the pigpen.
The creatures went at him And almost ate him.
These suckling pigs are evil. That I believe!
Stop the chatter and get to work. That’s what my father called you here for.
For that and for other things,
Because Don Simon knows about meat, And I have plenty of that.
The Master is too good for you.
You’re only smart enough To serve wine at the tavern
And have the drunkards Grab your ass.
- And what about your mother? - Enough already!
I don’t want to hear another word.
You must take these pills.
Alicia, that screaming-- What’s going on?
- Today is the slaughter. - The slaughter?
Yes, every year around this time, We sacrifice some pigs.
You know, we make pork Loin, Blood puddings, sausages.
Oh, I see.
Yes. We cure the hams in the cellar.
My father Loves doing these things.
It’s like a tradition for him.
The walling sounds human.
Yes. It is affecting...
But they were born to die.
They die that others may live.
I’d like to know your name.
My name is Bruno.
That’s a nice name.
At Least, that’s what I think.
Alicia, I don’t understand you.
Why do you and your family Worry so much about me?
You don’t even know who I am.
You needed our help. That is enough for us.
Life turned me Into a sort of mad dog.
But now that I am here, It all seems so different.
I have the feeling That something beautiful,
And very profound, Is going to change my fate.
Come on, dig in.
You’ve never tasted A better stew in your Life.
Raquel is a great cook.
You’ve been weak for several days.
You must eat well To regain your strength.
I’m really not hungry.
If you want to get well soon, You must eat well.
Pay attention to me. Remember, I am your doctor.
Yes, doctor. I’ll do as you say.
And I want to tell you all That I am very grateful to you.
Please, on the contrary.
We’re just so great. Aren’t we, Alicia?
Yes. Particularity you, Monica.
Enough taking and let’s eat. The stew is getting coed.
Delicious!
I practiced medicine For many years in Africa.
My daughters were born there.
We were a happy family. But things changed.
The rebellion came And hatred broke out.
One evening, a group Of natives attacked our house.
They raped and killed my wife.
I don’t know how My daughters and I were saved.
I believe a neighborhood patriot Came right on time.
That woman? That portrait downstairs?
That’s Teresa, my poor wife.
I brought her body here. She’s in a grave near the house.
You still don’t know a thing about me. Would you like to ask me something?
No.
We found you dying, And my duty was to save your Life.
I’m a doctor.
But--
I know you’re being followed.
I’ve heard you talking During your nightmares.
But as Long as you are In this house, you will be safe.
Only when you are completely well...
Must you face your own destiny.
You can't force me! It’s disgusting. I won’t do it!
Even if you force me, I will not do it!
That screams. I heard it!
What is happening to me?
What are you doing here?
I heard a woman screaming.
Screams? Another nightmare.
I’ve only heard the noise Of the table you just bumped.
Yes, I bumped into it.
Go on. Go back to bed. It’s all a bad dream.
You’re still not well.
Lean on me. I"ll heIp you back to your room.
Game over! Pay up, sons!
That"s right, Don CarmeIo! Some day you’re having!
He’s Left us naked!
Watch your Language, darn it! It doesn’t cost you a thing!
- And on top of it all, that! - What do you mean by "that"?
You farted. What else could it be?
I have not farted! The chair made a noise when I got up.
Chairs don’t stink Like that, Don CarmeIo!
You can say whatever you want!
But if we are not even going to believe What the priest says,
Might as well turn out the Lights And get out of here.
I’m leaving already.
The sisters are waiting for me For the catechism.
You’re some interesting guy.
- Good day. - Goodbye, hard head!
What happened to you?
The priest. He’s washed us out.
Had you been on time, He wouldn’t have plucked us so bad!
That’s what you deserve For playing with Don CarmeIo.
I think he cheats Even with the indulgences.
Cheer up! I called you here Because I can get you some big dough.
Big dough?
- who do we have to kill? - No one.
Big money if you can get Into Don Simon’s chalet
and find something out for me.
As you can see, it’s easier than beating Don CarmeIo at dominoes.
Easy, he says. If Don Simon finds us, he will shoot us both.
He doesn’t allow peopIe in his house just Llke that.
Hey, why don"t you go in? You are his vet.
Because I need information About the upper floor,
And I only have access To the pigpens.
Look, Don Serafin, That chalet is like a prison.
It is full of locks and bolts.
And you are saying this? The famous Crowbar?
The con artist who has jimmied Almost all chalets on the mountain
Without mussing his hair?
That is true. I’m an expert.
Besides, people say Strange things happen in that house.
I’m afraid to go there uninvited.
Would 30,000 big ones For the two of you...
...ease your fears?
All that dough just to find out If a man from out of town is hiding there.
Just to find that out?
Just for that. Deal?
When do you need the information?
As soon as possible.
If you do it tonight, You’ll have it in your pocket tomorrow.
Okay.
Ramona!
A pitcher of your best wine!
Sardines and olives, Queen of the Moulin Rouge!
Right away, Tarzan.
It’s a deal with the 30,000.
And don’t grab my Ramona.
You already have the black woman.
Very well, Crowbar.
My friends" belongings Are off Limits for me to touch.
Vintage!
Damn, Don Simon! What a Life!
Crowbar, we’re finally Going to taste quality wine,
not the poison at Lufacio"s tavern.
This is breaking and entering.
If we get caught, we’ll go straight to the slammer, head first.
They’re all snoring.
We’ll go through the house without any problems.
Stop complaining.
Think of the 30,000... and of Ramona.
Here, Crowbar, have a shot before we start to work. Here.
Very well, but I don’t Like this.
Well...
I promised myself I would be rich.
I was willing to do anything.
I went more than halfway around the world,
and things began to Look up for me.
You are almost well. You’ll be leaving here any day.
Why don’t you stay here?
I’m sure my father would be happy If you did, and so would I.
I would Love to stay, really, but...
But what?
I must leave.
I’m being followed. If I stay here, everyone is at risk.
We would defend you against anyone.
Alicia, The man you are asking to stay
Has robbed, has swindled,
Has betrayed his comrades And killed them.
Why are you explaining this to me? I didn’t ask you anything.
I needed to tell you.
It’s been years since I have Spoken sincerely with anyone.
During the Long nights, They all come back.
They all come back? Who? I don’t understand.
Them. The dead ones.
The ones who fell In front of my machine gun.
The ones I executed as I forced them to dig their own graves.
Don’t tell me anything else.
The Less I know about you, The better.
It’s your mother’s grave, right?
Yes, Bruno.
I don’t know why, But I felt the need to visit here together.
Teresa. Teresa.
Teresa? Teresa?
I have given you a Lot of money, And there are no results yet.
The whole house must be searched. That takes some time.
Especially If we don’t want suspicions.
I think I made a mistake in hiring you.
No, you didn’t make a mistake. I promise.
The thing is, we must be Very careful with Don Simon.
He’s a very smart man.
Tell me about him.
About whom? Don Simon? Well, let’s see.
He has a Lot of personally.
He’s a good cook. Enjoys fishing. He knows how to manage a house.
He is crazy over anthropology.
He Lived in Africa, you know.
Anthropology?
We’ll see each other here tomorrow.
I hope you have real news for me, Or I’ll have no further need for you.
I’ll do my best to earn The rest of my dough.
I mean the rest of my money.
It’s crazy to see each other At this hour.
If Don Simon wakes up and sees me Here with you, he’ll whip my hide off.
Be quiet, silly. Here.
Let’s see what you think about this.
Open it, my Love. Come on, open it!
A small present, mon amour.
Don Serafin, what do you want from me?
Be quiet, mon cherie.
This week we could have a small fortune.
If I were to tell someone I know
that you are hiding a stranger in the house,
I would be rich, and you would share that fortune with me.
There’s no one here, Don Serafin.
I have seen him,
through the window at the right side of the rear of the house.
See that! You Live here and don’t know anything about it.
Your masters are hiding him well.
All I need is the information, and bam! The money will be in our hands.
Well, Don Serafin, I’m very happy with everything, but I must Leave.
If Don Simon came to the pigpen...
At this hour? Why would he come here?
It wouldn’t be the first time he did it. He has insomnia.
When he wakes up, he walks all around the house to fall asleep again.
He even goes all around the farm.
I came ready for a Little Loving.
Besides, I will do your makeup myself. I’m very good at it, you know.
I don’t think it would be wise for me to attend.
Why not?
My father thought you’d come down and have dinner with us.
up to now, you’ve practically kept me hidden.
There are people Looking for me.
My presence at the dinner would arouse curiosity.
I hadn’t thought of that.
Isn’t there anything that would? make you change your mind?
Last night was the most important thing in my Life.
I will only be gone a while. I have things I must take care of.
But I swear, when I take care of it all, I will return.
Our visitor is Leaving.
- You had a visitor? - Yes, and she was very strange.
Imagine, a woman has come to visit us.
She’s Chinese or Japanese. All Orientals Look alike to me.
You will do it, right?
Who are they? When will we make contact?
I don’t like to make blind decisions.
l would like to know the details.
l chose the wrong time.
Please, l don't want to talk about it anymore tonight.
We'll have time. And listen--
Trust me.
Very well. Whatever you want. But you know I’m very impatient.
Go away! For God’s sake, Leave this house.
You’re not a ghost. You’re fish and bones.
Escape from here before it’s too Late.
I’m sorry. I didn’t think--
I repeat, go away!
But who are you?
I am Teresa! Teresa! You know that already!
My friends, you may sit down. Let’s eat!
This is really ridiculous.
I’ve come for you.
Everyone is there, and the feast is about to begin.
No. I’ve thought it over. I don’t know how I was ever talked into it.
It’s a risk I shouldn’t take.
Nothing could go wrong. We know everyone.
They are all family friends.
Listen to me. Let’s be careful.
Very well, perhaps you are right.
In any case, I’ll bring up a pirate of stew. You can’t miss it.
I wouldn’t miss it.
when the feast is over and everyone is asleep,
I’ll come up here.
These brains...are delicious!
You’re eating brains, Herminie? You are what you eat.
Sex? That I have a Lot of.
Rodolfo, speak!
Tell these assholes how I am in bed.
A beast Herminia, a real beast.
She must be a beast, since he-- the poor thing!--just eats and eats,
and all you can see is the mustache!
Listen here, nymphomaniac.
My boyfriend said brains,
not sex.
Nympho what?
Hey, you queer!
I don’t know what that is, but that would be, your...
hoity mother!
Well, well, don’t argue.
Enjoy the feast.
There’s still the stew.
- The stew. - Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s a true masterpiece,
almost sublime: my stew.
Prepare to Lick your fingers.
You’ll see. It’s not that great.
Son, don’t forget that envy is one of the cardinal sins.
And so is gluttony, Father.
Look at how he enjoys his food! He thinks he’s the new Samarang.
Eat and shut up.
Don’t I pay for this?
Watch it! You’ll pop one of my eyes out with your hair comb!
How’s it going, Father?
You see me, son, stocking up for Lent.
Give me the ladle. Give me the Ladle, please.
Here, get even fatter.
The star of the dinner. Your portion of the stew.
You took off the costume.
- Alicia, I’m Leaving. - Leaving?
Yes, I’ll be out of here in a few hours.
So soon?
I thought you would...?
I will return, I promise.
How dumb. I forgot your wine. I’ll be right back.
Alicia...
- Oh, dear! - How disgusting!
Hey, you pig!
why don’t you aim your heavy artillery elsewhere?
Yes, you hog! I can smell the gunpowder.
I’ve been a stinking queer all night, and I’m not complaining.
I also smell burned cuckold,
and it’s because I didn’t realize that your damned father is here.
A singed cuckold...
Cuckold? My father?
Oops! Her tit came out!
- Listen, you artichoke with a hair comb! - Are you talking to me?
Respect my spouse or you’ll pay for it!
You asparagus in a cloak, calm down, okay?
Otulla! I’ll kill him! I’ll kill him! Let go of me! Let go of me!
Peace! Peace!
No peace, no shit!
I’ll beat the crap out of you if you don’t sit down!
And the rest of you, shut up!
That’s better, my children. Love one another.
Drink a Little more.
This wine is perfect for the stew.
It’s a sin not to finish your wine glass with such good wine.
How are you planning to Leave?
On foot. I’ll go to the nearest town. I’ll find something there.
My father keeps an old motorcycle in the pigpens.
He still uses it sometimes.
You may take it and Leave it in town.
I don’t know if I should. It’s too much.
Please, my Love. Isn’t it true that you will return one day?
You will return.
I am completely sure that you will return.
Yes, Teresa is our youngest sister.
When our poor mother was murdered,
she suffered the most horrible rapes.
She Lost her mind and--
She Looks so much Like the portrait. Now I understand.
She still has violent outbursts, almost incontrollable,
so we must Lock her up.
She was in an institution for a Long time, without results.
Now our father is treating her himself.
I’m sorry.
You can tell he’s been well fed.
We’ll have a splendid feast for my birthday.
Exquisite meat. Lean. Juicy.
You rarely find such a specimen.
The drug is wearing off.
He must be bled while completely awake,
otherwise the meat will Lose its quality.
No...No...
In Africa, we discovered
the supreme pleasure of eating human flesh.
Raquel's father, a wise sorcerer,
initiated us into cannibalism.
We all Liked it...
except our poor mother and Teresa.
Teresa is very stubborn. She refuses to try our stews.
But soon she will Learn to enjoy the fine foods
as much as we do.
Alicia...
it’s not possible!
You Loved me!
You couldn’t have Lied!
It’s not possible! It’s not possible! Alicia, help me!
Help me, for God’s sake!
No, Teresa! Don’t!
No, Teresa! Don't!
