Luz del Fuego (1982) Movie Script

Be careful...

Keep the sun off

the Senator's head.

Ok, doctor.

Sailor, set sail for

the Island of the Sun.

This old man bothers me.

Paco!

-It's time, Paco!

-I'm coming!

-Paco!

-I'm coming! I told you!

Paco!

I'm coming!

I'm going out and I'll be

right back, doll!

Everyday it's the same thing Paco!

What's up, man?

All you ever do is nag!

You're supposed to be working!

Working? That's where I work.

That's my home and I demand

peace and quiet.

I can't concentrate.

The clowns have been on 3 times.

-How was there?

-Nothing bad.

She's beautiful and only 16 years old.

And you brings an underage

girl to my circus?

I don't want trouble, understand me?

And you, kid? Cut your hair.

You look like a fag!

What a lovely name!

Mink stoles

YEAR LATER

A chauffeur-driven Cadillac

Trips to Paris

I urgently need

A sugar-daddy

To enrich my life

Excuse me. I'm the driver

of Congressman Jo?o Gaspar.

He would like to have a word with you.

Could you accompany me?

He's the grey-haired man.

In this car.

Follow me, please.

You were beautiful in the show.

Shall we go out?

Let's!

To the Copacabana Palace Hotel.

It was a delightful evening.

But she put her foot in it.

She ended up under arrest.

To make things worse...

She met Agildo and Indalecio

on the same night.

Take your hands off me!

Let me go! Get off!

Tell these pieces of shit

to let me go!

-Stop with this scene!

-Shit!

I can't see you right now, Ma'am.

Out, out, out!

You sons of a bitch!

Please, calm down!

Hey! A photograph!

Dress in here.

-Get the camera from that guy!

-He's a hunk!

Put that away!

Are you crazy?

Sabar?, go find an empty cell.

We're jam-packed.

So go and empty one

as much as you can. OK?

Could I go in and talk to her?

You want to talk to her?

Haven't you...

and that other clown caused

enough trouble already?

-Me, Chief?.

-No, no!

Sabar?, get that bimbo's clothes.

She was already like that

when we arrested her.

-Naked?

-Stark naked.

-Hey, wait a minute!

-It's just a loan.

Take it all, Chief.

Everything's always urgent with you.

This year it was

the electoral campaign.

Last year it was the party

Convention, or whatever.

Never any time left over

for your family.

You're the only one I know

that has time left for work!

Work ennobles a man.

Most people lead a normal life.

Work is work.

And family is family.

Many put family first.

Could you ask your daughter

to stop playing drums...

-at least during dinner?

-My daughter!

Yes, my daughter, 'cause you

don't have time to her...

even to ask something to her personally.

-What is it, Alzira?

-The telephone, sir.

I told you no one answers

the phone during dinner.

But the girl said it was

important. So I wasn't sure.

-What girl?

-I didn't catch the name.

Something like "fuego"...

Oh, Luz del Fuego.

One of his canvassers.

-That's right.

-I'll get it in the office.

That's all I needed!

Now we'll have to put up with

sluts calling all the time!

Wait a moment, the Chief's

here, talk to him.

He'll explain everything.

I'm talking to a Congressman

friend of mine.

Except he can't understand.

Talk to him.

Hello, Congressman.

Whatever are you thinking?

This is no rendez-vous!

This is a family residence!

Play-time's over, sweetheart!

Put this on.

But Chief...

Put this on or I'll

sling you in jail.

I'd put it on if I were you.

Take your hands off me!

Get out'a here! Out!

Go, go, go fuck Deodoro, you fag!

Hey, guys! Fresh meat!

Are you here on business...

or just passing through?

I'm the Alligator.

From the Peacock Shanty.

Up there, all the girls

are crazy for me.

-Open up, fuck it! Open up!

-Leave the girl alone.

Let's just see that nice

furry pussy! Open up!

You think you're a virgin?

Open your legs, will you!

Leave the girl alone, will you!

What's up, doll?

What's up what, you bastard?

Right, you son of a bitch!

Come and get me!

You watch out with me!

You watch out! Or you'll

be an alligator-skin bag!

So, no son of a bitch can

face up to the doll, eh?

Sit down, girl.

He's the Alligator, but I'm Agildo.

It's gonna be outrageous!

I'll drive the newspaper editor crazy!

Just look at the headline!

"Congressman Jo?o Gaspar...

releases naked woman".

No! It's not good.

l have a better idea!

"Congressman Jo?o Gaspar Condones Nudity".

What a headline!

Are you still thinking

about that? Forget it!

It can't be forgotten, Luz.

It's a scoop!

My chance to go up in the newspaper.

Easy, Indalecio!

l can make you talk to him.

He's a big fish.

He can get you something bigger.

Maybe even on another newspaper.

Ok. I'll see him,

but about other things.

That article is right.

This is my chance...

Virginia, honey!

My love!

You came just at

the right time. Come here!

See that monster in front of you?

He's very, very bad.

He's going to hurt Gaspar.

But we won't let him, will we?

Why don't you wrap around him...

and gobble him all up?

Stop it, Luz!

Look at him!

He's better than that calf

you ate in Mato Grosso.

Don't do this to me!

I'm terrified of snakes!

Give me my coat back.

Let me go, please!

This is blackmail, Luz!

Stop it!

Here you are, you coward!

Don't be silly, Trancoso.

I trust your opinion.

Have you forgotten it was I

who backed your election...

for your position in the House?

So, you'd rather trust my good sense.

No need to repeat it again.

I only interceded...

for the girl out of political motive.

The election campaign is in full swing.

We need to widen horizons

and I have no doubt...

that the arts can provide

a very important back-up.

Yes, I had to.

Who did you expect me to go to?

The Warden of the Zoo?

To release someone in jail...

I had to go to the Chief

of Police. Of course.

That's your opinion.

For me, starlet is an artist.

Look, we'll talk about...

all right...

we'll talk about it

personally this afternoon.

She needs a stage.

I don't know.

I'm doing what the boss ordered.

The snake alone is bigger than the room.

I don't know about that.

The snake will have to go.

You don't understand.

The snake is the big attraction.

Talk to the Boss. There he is!

What's all this about, then?

Celestino? I talked to you

on the phone yesterday.

The girl with the snake is here. Right?

She's been here for hours!

The snake's getting nervous.

This cubicle's impossible, Celestino.

So let's leave it for another day.

The theatre is full.

Oh no, man. It took me days

to convince her...

and she's been rehearsing for days.

She comes here and you say it's not on?

Let's be honest. I'm getting

out of this business.

Revue theatre has had it.

And you tell me it just now!

How could I tell you before...

if this is the first time

I've set eyes on you?

I'm fucked up.

What do I tell her?

That's your problem.

Tell her what I told you.

Say I'm going out of business.

Tell her I'm renting

this shit to a restaurant.

For a dance hall, a brothel, anything.

All I want is to make enough money...

to stay home and scratch my balls.

That's enough talk! Here!

You want to sell, right?

-Rent.

-So.

Rent or buy... whatever! Let's go.

If I say so, you can believe it.

Nice? Nice?

He would be if he didn't

publish that article...

without anything in exchange!

How did you convince Indalecio?

Just talking.

He was tired of covering petty crime.

He wanted to go up in life.

And talking...

I heard about you going to that theatre.

I just mixed pleasure with business.

He's so excited.

Now it's just

the script and cast.

You'll soon see!

And how are you?

Can you doubt it?

To be honest, I was tired of seeing you...

in those third-rate joints

earning a pittance.

That's why I bought...

rented that theatre.

And I got myself out of that report.

Champagne?

Yes.

This stuff is going to my head!

Forget it!

The Manager has already asked you...

not to stand naked

in front of the window.

Soon we'll get out of here

and be more comfortable.

Watch out for the Manager!

It was a complete success!

The audience loved it!

-Did you take a bow?

-3 times, Indalecio! 3 times!

Good!

I never thought a snake

could perform so well!

She deserves a prize!

Double rations to Virginia!

2 excellent releases for film-goers.

Alfred Hitchcock,

the Master of suspense...

brings us "Dial M for Murder"...

with Ray Milland and Grace Kelly.

And "The Quiet Man" by John Ford...

with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

And a tornado is sweeping

the nights of Rio...

with the play starring

Luz del Fuego who dances...

wrapped in snakes!

Luz del Fuego, a madwoman,

an exhibitionist...

a revolutionary, or an actress?

To answer our questions,

here are our guests...

Chief of Police Deodoro Dias...

one of our police's most stalwart men.

Fr. Delgado, theology doctor...

and professor at the

University of Brazil.

Iara Satan, the queen

of the Brazilian wiggle.

Miss Maria Julia Parente...

Vice-president of the

Animal's Friends League.

So Fr. Delgado,

will all nudity be punished?

Nudity in itself is a

punishment. It's in Genesis.

Nudity is a recognition of punishment.

Adam and Eve, when expelled

from Paradise...

realised they were naked...

and covered themselves in shame.

How about you, Chief?.

Legally, nudity is classed

as indecent exposure...

and is punishable by law.

Would this be the case

with Luz del Fuego?

Not when restricted

to private clubs, no.

As long as it has been duly

approved by the authorities.

And does Luz del Fuego pose

any threat to Iara Satan?

I am the Starlet of Brazil!

I have a firm career!

I worked my way up.

No upstart can threaten me.

We are looking into it.

But in principle...

we are against animals

being used in shows.

Quite right too!

Can you imagine that big

snake under all those lights?

It's an oven! And a snake

is a creature of water!

What a great idea!

What?

Nothing...

It's nothing.

-Agildo!

Come here.

Who's the name of the boy

who's singing?

Daisy? A boy?

You're going crazy, Indalecio.

I must talk to him.

Ask him to come over here.

-I'll do that.

-So do it!

What position does

the Church intend to take?

Our pastoral mission

is to guide our flock.

So, we will excommunicate

anyone who watches...

such spectacles.

Quite right too!

In the same way,

we condemn your shows too.

Are you comparing me to her?

No. We consider both shows

to be equally bad.

That's absurd. She can't even sing!

Father, art is one thing.

Burlesque is another.

Burlesque or not, the Church

does not see it that way.

Either sin exists, or it doesn't.

Religion does not consider

the degree of the sin.

-Either it is, or it isn't.

-That's just stupid!

Iara...

The Catholic Church does not

distinguish between...

large and small. It merely

identifies the sin.

No way.

I'm out of here!

That will in no way modify

the Church's stance.

Shut up! Go preach to your choir-boys!

Cut! Cut! Things have got out of hand!

Let sleeping dogs lie.

At least, in politics.

It must be the same in your field of work.

Isn't the place packed out

every night? Why fret?

And give up such an idea?

Drama needs change, Gaspar.

Soon the snake and me will

no longer be a novelty.

We must always have

something up our sleeves.

I think it's risky. You're

already in the public eye.

This idea of transvestites.

I don't know...

Paris has had them for ages!

What's the big deal?

You forget censorship.

Your first show was hard enough!

But you got it through!

If you want, you can.

All you have to do is want to.

Maybe. Or at least, I hope so!

THE WORLD IS FOR THE DOLLS

Take it easy, Chief. Relax!

It's no big deal.

It must be awful to work like this.

You have to get bad-tempered

when you arrest someone?

Imagine if everyone had to

get bad-tempered at work!

Imagine if I went on stage

fuming with rage!

Ademir cursing each time they

scored against his team.

Or Angela Maria blowing

raspberries at her audience.

Enjoy the ride, Deodoro!

-Anything else, boss?

-No. You can go.

Not even an apple?

What apple?! Just go!

Shit! A blanket?

That's sure to tickle!

Couldn't you get an eiderdown? Know why?

I can only sleep naked, you see.

I think this blanket is going to itch.

Well...

Let's try.

-What's up?

-The deal's closed.

The place has been bought.

Now Madame Luz del Fuego...

is the owner of a house with

a view of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Boss has lots of money.

Giving a place like that...

He's quite right. What's he

going to do with the money?

Give it to his tight-assed wife?

That's no wife!

That's a viper!

Come on. Let's go!

If you see a pay-phone, pull up.

-He's expecting my call.

-Ok.

Silence.

Silence, please!

Our dear Luz del Fuego

would like to say a few words.

I'd like to introduce to our dear audience...

our dear producer and director...

Indalecio Ribeiro!

I am here... the whole team is...

delighted...

that today, we have done

the 100th performance...

of a unique show in Brazil.

Thanks to Luz del Fuego...

we have proved that

the stage is for all...

no matter what sex,

ideology or religion.

We have brought the third

sex out the shadows...

And now we can all see...

the talent of these wonderful boys.

Finally, a special thanks...

to Congressman Gaspar,

a future senator in Brazil.

Look! Look in that mirror!

A defeated man!

The mere shadow of a senator!

A man who had everything...

and lost everything

for a 4th-class whore!

To vote for Gaspar

is to vote for debauchery.

In the name of decency...

in the name of the morality

of the Brazilian family...

Jo?o Gaspar should be banned...

from the national political scene!

The fury of my enemies

has fallen upon my head.

Just in the moment that

the nation, in my name...

is on the way to power.

The voice of prejudice

and false moralism...

rises to uncover mortal sin

where there is no evil!

But these voices do not deter me.

Except for those undecided and easily led.

But the man in the street, never!

Because he is not so easily deceived.

He knows well what a kiss means.

He knows the affection

of a kiss its recognition...

and its expression of tenderness.

Friends, ladies...

young people, you know what a kiss means.

The answer lies with you.

Show in the polling-booth...

those unbelievers who

only see behind a kiss...

the figure of Judas.

Mink stoles

A chauffeur-driven Cadillac

Vacations in...

Luz del Fuego. Together,

we'll conquer the world!

A fucking kiss got me into the Senate!

Now we'll screw in the Place de la Concorde!

Fireworks, Indalecio! Fireworks!

Let's go, Agildo!

Mink stoles

Chauffeur-driven Cadillacs

Vacations in Paris!

After win these elections,

Ladies and Gentlemen...

this Senator is going to give...

a fireworks display!

All nudity...

Yes, senator?

Damn it.

All nudity will be rewarded!

The denial of the body

is the denial of freedom!

Nudism is not subversion!

Nudity was never anarchy!

The naked body is free.

Is beautiful, mobile and healthy.

Man needs nudity like he needs water.

The nation needs nudity

as it needs beans.

The nation of Brazil! everyone...

Nude!

Everyone strip!

Everyone nude!

Now let's see if that thing

l promised you works.

-Turn off the lights!

-Let's see, let's see!

It's just like a snake Senator!

A little clumsy.

Hi, Dad!

Dad? Where did you get that from, boy?

Wasn't it you who last night

forbade everyone...

to use the word "Senator"?

You said it yourself.

To call you Dad, not Senator...

Forget yesterday. Today is today.

Ok.

Great Dad!

I don't know what strange

Spell you have woven

That drives me so crazy

Dad...

-Dad...

-Ok... Dad!

Excuse me...

You can forget this deal, Aquino.

I've already paid a deposit.

I don't care. Work it out.

I won't set foot in that slut's house.

I won't bring up our children there!

But I can't back out now.

I'll lose the deposit.

How could I know it

belonged to Luz de Fuego?

The deeds show a totally different name.

Just one moment more.

The notary and owner...

will be here any moment.

Congratulations, Ma'am.

You made an excellent purchase.

But you were not entirely honest.

In what way? Isn't the price

to your liking?

But you should have told us

who it belonged to.

I've already told my husband.

Neither I nor my children

will ever set foot there!

I want that house by the lagoon.

So you change clothes

in front of the windows...

with everyone watching!

I've seen that film!

Mister Aquino, Miss Luz, the owner.

May all those who are now

present before me know...

that I, in bona fide, in

the year of our Lord, 1959...

site as purchaser, Mr. Jos? de Aquino...

How marvellous!

Funny how different people can be.

I simply adore this place

and you loathe it.

You know you upset me, Luz.

You're just a little girl.

Never satisfied with what has...

always wanting something else.

I'm a spoilt little girl

and you're a dictator.

I defied you by selling the house.

But I don't care.

I don't care what you think

of the island.

You would think it was shit anyway.

When your Royal Highness

gave me that house...

you never thought I'd dare

sell it, did you?

Imagine, exchange that

house for this thing.

Here, there isn't even

a place to sit down!

Just looks at my trousers!

It's rocks, sand, thorn bushes...

Just getting here

nearly gave me a heart attack!

And I have something else to tell you.

On this island, my life

is going to change.

I'll only appear on stage

once in a blue moon.

And then, only

to publicize the island.

More bullshit! I told you

to let sleeping dogs lie.

I've proved to you that

it's good to make charges.

It helps. It's for the better.

You just wait.

You'll see what I have

planned for this island.

Hey! Why haven't you

taken off your clothes?

Ah, it's Pericles...

He took me by surprise, Luz.

He just turned up...

-Who is the son of a bitch?

-My secretary.

I'm sorry, sir. I have

urgent business for you.

Get your clothes off, sonny boy!

Is that how you guard

the way-in, Agildo?

With people coming and going

we gonna have a red light!

And take off those ridiculous panties!

Let's go inside, Pericles.

I won't be long.

I'll be back to finish those invitations.

Goddamn these rocks!

You'll have to learn to go

barefoot on the island, sir.

I'll have the whole place

concreted over!

Come on, Pericles!

Stop with that shit, Agildo! Damn it!

Stop whoring around! What an asshole!

We've been here for ages

and nothing happens.

Time goes by and nothing happens.

And you're a great help,

aren't you, son of a bitch?

Ok, Ok...

-Come here, Agildo!

-Let's go.

Statutes of the

Brazilian Nudist Club.

Pay attention, Agildo.

Any suggestion is welcome.

The opening party

is been decided. Right?

Any doubts?

No. Remember how drunk Gaspar got...

on Senate election day?

What he yelled out?

That's been going round in my head.

I've had an idea.

But he mustn't know.

I'm going to write a speech

for you to give at party.

It's going to be really bombastic!

Silence, please!

Quiet! Our Luz will speak!

We do not want the Island

of the Sun to be seen...

merely as a place

where nudism is practiced.

It's time to think big.

The Naturalist Movement...

must claim its place

on the political arena.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

we are today founding...

the Brazilian Naturalist

Party, which already has...

the support of its true founder...

Senator Jo?o Gaspar who,

in a moment of inspiration...

created the phrase that will

henceforth be our motto...

and our war-cry...

"People of Brazil! Everyone nude!"

Everyone nude!

I called you because I need some help.

This affair has gone too far

and I confess I am unable...

to convince Gaspar of the

gravity of the situation.

Isn't it madness for Gaspar

to lead a Party...

of fanatical nudists?

That's not quite the point.

I no longer care about

his affair with that slut.

I think it would be better

if we talked privately.

No, otherwise she'll go

in there and start...

playing the drums and we

won't hear ourselves think.

As you wish.

But don't worry about it.

It's all a misunderstanding.

What if he loses his post?

What will he do?

He always been a politician,

the only thing he knows.

Your husband is a very clever

man, he'll find a way out.

I hope so!

Even if he hasn't worked as

a husband for many years...

at least I hope he can support us!

I'm the new owner of this island!

I'm out here!

Don't run away!

I'm not kicking you out.

What a strange guy!

No. People round here

are like that, reserved.

We could hire him.

What do you think?

Instead of buying a boat,

we could hire one.

Boats cost a small fortune these days.

You go that way, Agildo,

and I'll go this way. Go!

Good morning!

Weren't you on the Island of the Sun?

Hello!

Is this your child?

This one's hers.

Mine are at home.

Are you sisters?

She's the eldest.

-And who's his lucky lady?

-She is. I'm his wife.

I see...

-Do you want some fish?

-No.

I just needed to talk to your husband.

I need to hire a boat.

Garden of tenderness

Love-birds and doves

Fishermen's humble homes

And the moon shines

High above

As on Paquet? we make love

Mysterious rendez-vous in Paquet?.

Sit down. I need to have

a serious talk with you.

And I need to have

a serious talk with you.

Why didn't you come to my party?

You knew how much it meant to me.

Are you crazy?

Don't you understand I'm a senator now?

But a Congressman can go

to the theatre, right?

Actually, I helped you a lot

in the elections.

Times have changed...

And I can't let you

jeopardise me like you used.

What idea is this about involving me...

in a nudist Party?

Are you mad, or want to ruin me?

It was in all the papers!

And I look like a total idiot!

I think you should be proud of yourself.

Is that what you think?

Forget the whole thing...

and keep me out of any Party, understand?

Luz, times are changing

and things could get heavy.

A lot of things in Brazil

may be changing.

Keep out of this Party.

Take my word for it.

I always wanted the best for you.

The Constitution guarantees

legally recognized...

party meetings.

This party does not exist.

Anyway, a meeting is one

thing. Rallies are another.

Isn't that just your

personal opinion, sir?

Authorities do not have opinions.

Authorities make decisions

and this is mine.

Nobody actually knows what

this demonstration is about.

What kind of rally

is likely to be forbidden?

I shall be there and

I'll decide by the facts.

Doesn't the City have

more serious affairs...

to deal with first?

Your paper decides the front page.

Here who decides the priorities is me.

Going back to another question...

when the Constitution

refers to a meeting...

does this meeting have to be

behind closed doors?

What are you driving at?

Excuse me, "sir", but

who is interviewing who?

Look, kids! It won't be

two journalists...

who'll come in here

questioning my authority!

You press people are funny.

You couldn't see a scoop...

if it bit you on the ass!

The whole thing's absurd.

Luz del Fuego founding

a political party is mad!

And you know that very well.

I'll deal with this case...

personally tomorrow.

No high jinks with me!

You can bet on that!

This interview is over!

People of Brazil, vote for

the Brazilian Naturalist Party!

Listen up!

Man is only free

in contact with nature.

Mankind needs to go naked

just as needs water.

Hear our motto, "Everyone nude"!

Say it along with me!

All together now!

Everyone nude!

She's gone completely bonkers!

As if the rally wasn't enough

she had to do it...

all over again at my front door!

-People of Rio!

-Right!

-Our time has come!

-I don't believe it!

...greets the Nation

and demands to be heard!

-I know.

-Our Senator, Jo?o Gaspar...

But Vicente! They're making

a scene outside my door!

Where's Deodoro?

See if you can find him.

Right.

Now Jo?o Gaspar is putting his foot down!

...to free our bodies

and our minds.

Stop those drums or I'll

smash them to pieces!

Go ahead! Smash them!

Join your own crowd!

As our Senator said...

Everyone nude!

You want to make an enemy out of me?

Not me, "Mr." Senator!

For starters, only peasants

say "Mr." Senator.

A journalist says

"Yes Senator" or "No Senator".

The smarter ones say

"Yes Senator". Learn it.

Or don't you want to become

a real journalist?

Of course you do. So learn this too...

recent events cannot be repeated...

with your participation

or we'll all get ruined.

If she insists on continuing

and won't realise that Brazil...

has changed, then she's screwed.

But she'll get screwed alone,

without me, without you.

You're a journalist, not a gigolo.

It's time to start over

from wherever we can...

making concessions,

friends, allies...

and a little money.

This is a chance to restart

as my middleman.

And your first concession.

I had to take drastic measures.

I told Deodoro to arrest her.

But she's smart and managed

to blackmail poor Deodoro.

I'm a dead man.

Fucked, ruined!

So many years of struggle

and sacrifice for nothing!

She was prepared.

She'd prepared everything...

to blackmail me!

Ten years after it's all there

in Luz del Fuego's diary.

It could ruin my career!

No! Easy! Look, all that

happened 1 0 years ago.

You think she's records

every screw she ever had?

She's screwed the whole world!

Use your head!

I'm not guessing, Heleno.

She proposed a deal.

I get her off the hook

and she won't compromise me.

In that case, you'll have

to go along with the deal.

I won't make any deal. I won't!

Easy! Think it over.

You have a good job.

Soon you'll retire and

everything will calm down.

Look at me! I'm there

on my country estate...

doing fuck all! Nice and quiet.

Think of the future.

Don't you think I've ever

had to pull my pants down?

Ok. I'll sleep on it.

You do that!

Son of a voodoo bitch!

What are you up to?

Come here! Come here!

Suck me! Let's see who's

the best witch bitch!

My soul...

If this is love...

I think I'm happy.

Luz told us to deal

with the diary affair.

You two, not.

Only the Senator.

You wait there.

You know the rules, Senator.

Here, not even the Pope

wears clothes!

C'mon Senator. Ass out!

Otherwise, no diary!

Sorry!

I didn't know...

Sorry!

How could I know you were

screwing in the living-room?

-Ah, so that's it!

-You know what?

I'm going to see people I know.

Suddenly, the whole place's got weird.

Became full of forbidden places.

Put a sign on the door, will you?

What do you want?

That I go round in circles...

so I don't interrupt

your screws with that witch?

Yes. That's exactly

what I want, Agildo.

Sailor, stop this thing

right there. Sailor!

I'm sure...

I'm the only one

she ever gave herself to.

Get going, Sailor!

Ivonete, what's this guy doing here?

He had a bad turn. He's resting.

I mean, what is he doing in my chair?

He was looking for you.

Luz del Fuego gone missing.

l think she's dead.

She's disappeared, Chief.

Over a week ago.

It was that voodoo witch!

It was him! Canario!

He beat her up.

She didn't recognise anyone.

She put everything in her diary.

Sabar?, get him out of here.

Put him in solitary.

I'm the only one who can

talk to him. Take him away!

-Come on, let's go.

-Get your hands off me.

I don't know anything.

What are you investigating?

Her death, or her diary?

How can you keep him

in solitary without a charge?

Especially a respected

journalist like Indalecio?

You'll be slaughtered

on the front page!

It's a curse!

Anything to do with Luz del

Fuego falls on my head!

Use your head!

You have a body? No.

No body, no crime. And you're

all outdoing each other...

to catch a murderer.

It must be because of the diary.

What if it's one of Luz's

publicity stunts?

You'll look a right idiot!

What's happened?

Where's "the man with cold eyes"?

The Henry Fonda of the Rio Police dept.?

You look just like a nervous rookie!

Easy for you to say!

Put yourself in my shoes.

My client has had no contact

with Luz del Fuego for ages.

Police Chief Deodoro Dias

must have some secret...

to treat my client

in such a gross manner.

Write this: I place Chief

Dias under suspicion.

-Shall I heat up the coffee?

-No need. Pass me the sugar.

How's school, then?

What's got into this kid?

Ivonete! Ivonete!

Sit down...

May I know what's going on

under my own roof?.

I talk to her and she doesn't answer.

And you with that hurt look.

Do you think this is

pleasant for Mariana?

It isn't easy for me either.

I'm furious...

Ivonete, will you please

tell me what's going on?

Just spit out, will you!

An adolescent's father

is a murder suspect!

-How's that again?

-Read the paper...

-What's in the paper?

-Just read it!

The bastard son of a...!

Hello? Who is it?

Look, I want everybody...

who's working on the case

of this slut Luz del Fuego...

here within half an hour!

Is that clear? On the dot!

Who's talkin' here?

This is the Brazilian

Bombshell speaking, darling!

Mink stoles

A chauffer-driven Cadillac

Trips to Paris

I urgently need

A sugar-daddy

To enrich my life

This diary's incomplete.

Several pages are missing.

I'm sure that it will soon

be even more incomplete.

-What are you driving at?

-Our Chief of Police.

I don't believe that you'll

reveal a document with such...

intimate details!

I think I can be honest with you.

We're both victims

of Luz's indiscretions.

The pages in which I figured

in that diary are ashes.

I presume you will take

similar measures.

Our positions do not allow

us to be thus compromised.

Leave it to me, Senator.

I will deal with this.

One more thing.

Sooner or later, Luz will appear.

It would then be a tragedy

if certain persons...

were in any way involved in this.

I suggest that you find

the most logical perpetrator.

Most suited to the situation

or the most practical.

I shall keep that in mind.

-Who'll identify the body?

-Put it right there.

Take it away.

He who lives dangerously

risks a tragic death.

Does Luz del Fuego belong to posterity?

Of course not, my daughter.

Posterity only records

great names and great works.

Look, I have been

a politician for 30 years.

Dedicated to great national works.

This is what history will record.

The work of someone

who worked for the people.

On the other hand, doesn't work for...

women's liberation also deserve merit?

Maybe, of a minority.

The Brazilian woman

is recognised as a mother...

and the mother cell of society.

It is within the family,

that women find liberation.

Senator, it seems that you had...

a torrid love affair with Luz del Fuego.

No comment.

It also seems that you were

a sponsor for Luz del Fuego.

No comment.

There is a list of her

possible murderers...

or those who ordered it.

Your adviser, journalist

Indalecio Ribeiro...

Chief of Police Deodoro Dias

and Luz's recent friends...

Agildo and the fisherman Canario.

Even your name has been mentioned.

My dear, there is a long

list of the services...

I have lent to my country

and the Brazilian nation.

A man of untainted reputation.

I shall answer duly at the

due time in the due place.

And anyone who soils my name

shall also answer in court.

Thank you, Senator.

Be careful what you publish.

Why don't you do

something more useful?

Luz del fuego...

That's no way to a decent

career in journalism.

Sorry, Senator. This has

to go out tomorrow.

What a democrat has to go through!

We'll only refer to Canario

from now on.

He's our key. Be careful.

He could be dangerous.

A suspect of several murders

out in the suburbs.

The subversive leader

of a community center.

A self-confessed bigamist.

Married to two sisters.

Children by both.

A voodoo practitioner

of the worst kind.

Knew Luz intimately.

Knew the whole routine

on the Island of the Sun.

Sabar?! Lourival!

Cure his hangover!

And get rid of rim!

Get rid of him, sir?

It's not what you think.

Get him out of here!

But, Chief! This guy...

This guy, this guy!

This guy's one of Luz's.

He's only made trouble

for years.

He gets drunk and goes berserk.

Imagine if this catches on?

Everday, we'll have

people from the Island...

saying they're the murderer.

And this goes for you too!

For everyone!

The case has been solved.

Canario's our man. Canario!

Got it! Canario!

And don't show up with

anybody except him!

I'll denounce them all!

Gaspar, Deodoro, Agildo...

Canario... all assholes!

All murderers! Even me!

The sun must shine one more time.

Light, Luz, must reach

into our hearts.

Love...

must be once again eternal.

It's Judgment Day...

the story of good and evil.

I wish to have eyes

to see all evil fade.

It's her!

It's Luz!

Look!

She'll never die!

She's back!

She always comes back!

Did you see?

I am a Light that never goes out.
