Eva Doesn't Sleep Page #3

---

Very well.

We started a revolution.

All revolutionaries

shoot counter-revolutionaries.

What kind of trial is this?

Who's judging me? You?

Did the people call you up and ask you to?

Were you voted in?

Were you?

No.

Some people take power at the urns

but they end up by becoming tyrants.

Some men, like me, believe in democracy,

but take up arms to defend the republic.

Kid...

it was the only way.

We had to modernize the economy.

We scaled back the government.

Social welfare had become a cancer.

We got military support from the US

and we got Argentina into the IMF.

These are complex issues.

We could discuss them over coffee...

but not like this.

Anything else?

No.

I fell asleep.

What time is it?

Is there coffee?

Sugar?

Yes.

Who are you?

Esther.

You're not like them.

You're from a good family.

You don't look like a Peronist.

You're not a Peronist.

Even worse. I'm a Communist.

In 1955, they were with us.

What went wrong?

General, it's been decided.

They're shooting you.

What the hell is going on here?

Are you here to soften me up?

Can anything be done?

The people you killed won't wake up.

What you did can't be undone.

Tell me, what do they want?

Money?

Weapons'?

I'll sign whatever they want, I don't care.

Times have changed.

The country changed. I've changed.

We all know things are very different now.

Where's Evita?

I'm honor bound not to tell you that secret.

I can tell you one thing.

You were a girl when that woman... died.

She had become a symbol...

a dangerous one.

We couldn't bury her just anywhere.

I was the first to face this problem.

Others have faced it since.

I saw Che's hands in formaldehyde

when they identified his fingerprints.

They out Lumumba into pieces...

General, this isn't a history lesson.

Tell them where Evita is.

They wanted to destroy the body.

And I refused.

I wanted a Christian burial.

Where?

General, they'll kill you.

Tell me where Evita is.

Where is she?

Well, then, like your friend said:

Let the dead bury thew own dead.

Wait. Come back. Come back!

Come back, you b*tch!

In breaking news,

the police have received a statement

from the terrorist group

claiming to have kidnapped General Aramburu.

LV10 has exclusive coverage

"of the entire message for listeners."

"To the people of the nation."

Today, at 0700 hours,

General Aramburu was executed.

May God have mercy on his soul.

The accused's remains

will be given to his family

"once the body of Comrade Evita

has been returned to the people."

The Apostolic Nuncio, Monsignor Cornicelli,

condemned the terrorist attack.

According to our sources,

the entire government has resigned.
