Robles!

Robles, get out!

Robles!

What happened?

Did you know?

Calm clown.

Breathe.

You've never seen a corpse?

It isn't a corpse.

It's her.

I'll tell you the truth.

I shouldn't say this.

It's a state secret.

Can I count on your absolute discretion?

Of course.

Do you swear?

Yes, Colonel. Silent as the grave.

I train the Argentinean army

on new methods of warfare.

We were interrogating a trade unionist.

She died on us.

Yesterday. That's her.

No.

It's Evita.

Bottoms up.

Yes, sir.

- Bottoms up.

- Yes, sir.

Bottoms up!

Another one?

Over there...

in 200 meters, there's a port.

If I order you to sail to Uruguay right now,

do you obey?

Yes, sir.

If I order you to leave and never come back.

- Never?

- Do you obey or not?

Yes, sir.

If I order you to forget what you saw?

No.

No?

No.

Are you disobeying me?

No, sir.

Who gives the orders here?

Memory.

You're not as stupid as you look!

Stupid idiot!

What if she gets up?

I don't understand why her skin is blue.

Did they paint her?

What do you think? Hmm?

Maybe...

Maybe?

Yes.

You haven't seen her.

The blue skin!

The blue skin!

You haven't seen her!

You weren't going to look?

Look at her.

What are you trying to do?

Nothing, sir.

Who are you?

Nobody, sir.

But I want to be like you.

Like me?

Like me!

Look at me!

Hanoi.

'47.

Phu Tong Hoe.

'48.

Dien Bien Phu.

February '54.

Kids in my neighborhood.

Tell me.

You ever kill anyone?

No, sir.

Ever f*** anyone?

Have you or not?

Not even once?

Once.

With a whore?

It doesn't matter, they're all whores!

That's why we love them.

What I've never done...

I've never slept with a woman.

I never met a woman

I could lie down and sleep next to.

God will provide.

God will provide.

F***ing gringo bastard.

Surprise!

That woman's body...

was beautiful in death.

Her body...

turned us into wild animals.

It drove us crazy.

It made us delirious.

So we sent her far away.

But suddenly...

13 years later...

Thirteen.

Once again...

we, the heroic battalions...

we crushed the uprising.

But that b*tch...

THE DICTATOR:

The watch.

I'll do it. Careful, the clasp breaks.

General...

you are being held

by Peronist revolutionaries.

You're being put on trial.

You're accused of the Plaza de Mayo bombing,

which left 400 dead and 800 wounded.

You're accused

of having 27 Argentineans shot dead.

You're accused of dismantling unions,

"abolishing the Peronists'" social gains

and selling off the country.

Who sent you?

The people.

The people.

Do you know what you're getting into?

Don't talk clown to me.

By now, the Armed Forces

will be out looking for me.

Just answer the charges please, General.
