Santa Evita (2022): Season 1, Episode 5 - Puppé - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON

Trust me,

there's nowhere safer than here.

Where were you? I've
been waiting for hours.

We're going to miss the flight.

Irene, no. I can't leave
like this. I need a few days.

- Then we can go wherever you want.
- You're crazy!

Eduardo, is that you?

- Major?

What
are you gonna tell them?

It was a sad accident.



El Loco thought his wife
was a burglar and shot her.

My darling.

Juan.

What's happening here
is very important.

- And we're a part of it.

This way.

Follow me.

This way.

It's a new device, do
you know how to use it?

- Of course, I do. Yes.
- Perfect.

You may start your projection.

EVA DUARTE IN

"THE PRODIGAL WOMAN"

For the walkers who come and go.



For the
walkers who come and go.

For the
sailors who cross the seas.

For the sailors
who cross the seas.

Deliver us,
Lord, from all evil.

Deliver us,
Lord, from all evil.

The rain is
getting stronger.

If
it were only just water.

But it brings stones with it.

And the almond trees were
just starting to bloom.

If you have the negatives
of The Prodigal Woman, burn them.

For those that
without land, country, or home.

Don't worry about it.
No one will say a word.

- Are you a Perónist?
Ma'am.

I don't see the Perón's
badge on your lapel.

- You're probably not a Perónist.
- Yes.

Ma'am, how could I
not be a Perónist?

Don't call me ma'am.

- Call me Evita.

Where do you live?

You know the Rialto
Cinema? In Palermo?

I have a very small room
there. Just behind the stage.

I live there with my wife
and my beautiful little girl.

You're getting a
new house on me.

Are you
serious, really?

- Come by the foundation one day.
Will they let me in?

Just like that, ma'am?

Tell them Evita
asked to see you.

They'll let you in, you'll see.

GOODBYE

REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA DEATH

CIVIL REGISTRATION

Hello?

Vázquez?
- Correa, yes.

Can you write something down?
- Yeah, yeah, sure.

I have a place where
you can find Cifuentes.

I'm writing.

Four-three-two-four
Córdoba Avenue.

- Uh-huh.
We'll be in touch.

Very good.

It's here? Let me see that.

Thank you.

Emilio?

Yes?

- Mariano was in your office this morning.
- Son of a bitch.

Listen to me, are you out
of your mind, you prick?

Snooping around my office!

- Mariano, I've already told you.

It's over for you.
Enough is enough.

You know I'm not
gonna listen to you.

Where are you going?
I'm talking to you.

I'm very busy. I have
a lot of work to do.

All right, then. Keep it up.
Let it blow on your face.

- I can't stop you, can I?
- You gave me this assignment.

Don't make a scene. Just
suck it up, already Emilio.

- Do you know how Irene felt when she left?
- Bet. I bet she was sad. How else?

She'd hasn't cried like
that, even when her mom died.

She'll be fine, she's strong.

- It's not important?
- Of course, it's important.

Didn't even think about calling her in
Madrid to ask her for anything, hmm?

Where are you staying?

Mariano!

Those bastards will detect us
the second we enter the regiment.

Which is why we
can't go back there.

Burying her is not
an option, Cifuentes!

- Don't insist with that!
- I'm not insisting.

I've been thinking about this, I
could have the ideal location for her.

We must put her in a different
box so she slips by unnoticed.

Eh?

THE BEAST FROM HELL

It still belongs to my family.
It's all we could preserve.

Perfect. It's
perfect, Tom Thumb.

She'll be better hidden here, for
everyone to see in plain sight.

And she's going back to
her old love, the cinema.

Well, she did come to Buenos
Aires, looking to star in a movie?

- Now, she'll be in all of them.

- Let's go.
- Come on, guys! Come, on!

Over here.

This way.

Be careful with the top.

Here, here.

- No, no, no.

Isn't there somewhere
else to put it?

No, no, no. This is the only
place. I live here with my daughter.

How old is your daughter?
- She's seven years old.

Who else has access? Anyone?

Just me, sir.

Okay.

She stays here, then.

Any weird occurrences,
you let us know.

What kind of
occurrence, could it be?

This is a military operation.

Keep that in mind.

Be very careful!

Follow my orders only!

- Yes, sir.
- Don't do anything without my instruction.

- Understood?
- Yes, sir.

Colonel.

Come here a second, please.

- Leave it. Leave it.

Come closer, Chino.

Come.

Come on.

Look.

Don't you know her?

- Yes, sir.
You'll take care of her.

Yes, sir.

I hope it has a garden.

Yes. I hope it's ours,
so we can move out.

Oh, to have our own
house. Under our name!

Will they give you the keys?
And the property title?

- I suppose so, both things. Yeah.
- Yes.

- When are we going?
- No, no. I'm going. I'm going.

- Ah.
- You're going to Temperley

- with your folks. Eh? Aren't you?

I guess, I'll still be
here early afternoon. Eh?

- I'm sure I'll know more by then.

- What's the matter? What?
Hold on.

What?

There.

Oh, yes, it's very cold.

Excuse me,
want a bitter one?

- Yes.

- Thanks. You're so good.
- You're welcome.

Will it take much longer?
I don't think so.

Have you been waiting a long time?
Oh, not today.

It's our third time here and
we still haven't seen Evita.

Will they see us, today?
Yes.

She promised me a
pretty house, you know.

- A house?
- No kidding?

-Eat, honey, for you
Yeah, she did.

First time, ma'am?
- First time? No way.

It's my fourth time here.

- Me too. We're all coming in today.
May God hear you!

Thank goodness, its open.
Yes!

Finally!

How to thank
you? May God bless you also.

And you as well.

Thank you very much.
- Thank you for coming. Hello.

Pardon me for
bothering you, Colonel.

But I have something
urgent you need to see.

- It's information about Renzi, the butler.
- What did he do?

Try and guess who he visited.

Good morning, Mrs. Juana.

Good for you, Colonel.

Have you come to see me?

Who else, ma'am?

I hope you brought the
passports that you promised me.

We want to leave as soon as
we can, we're suffocating.

- That's not what I came for.

- Passports are not that simple.
- Then why are you here?

- What do you want?
- I'm just...

Good morning, ma'am.

I'm here for something
concerning your daughter.

- I know she was taken from the CGT.
- Mm-hmm.

I was told by Dr. Ara.

Give the body to me, Colonel.

The moment I have the
passports, I'll take her away.

That's not possible.

What I can do is...

Rush your exit out
of the country.

I just need you to...
give me the papers.

What papers?

The ones Renzi gave you this
morning. You have to give them to me.

I still haven't had
time to look at them.

- I'm not giving them to you.
- Mm.

You know what, Colonel?
Act like they don't exist.

Ma'am.

Your other daughters are home.

- Go.

I said "Go."

He couldn't find a better
way to show me his love.

And now I'm certain
he chose the purest,

and the greatest way to tell me.

When I'm ready to express
to him, my love as a woman,

and express it, permanently,

I can't seem to find
a purer, bigger way...

- Than to offer him a little of my life.

Don't cry, Delia.

Neither you nor your husband
will lack anything, I promise.

Thank you, ma'am.
- Maria. Come.

Stop what you're doing, make
sure you find her husband

an appointment for
his prosthesis.

- But it's just...
- No buts. Go. Here.

I can't thank you enough.

What I'm giving you isn't
mine, no need to thank me.

God bless you.

Please,
she has to see me first.

Please! She has to listen
to me. Please, listen to me.

- Who are you?
- Ma'am.

The house you gave us,
they took it from us.

You gave me a house, and an
employee from here took it from me.

Is that so? Who was it?

Him.

- You took her house from her?
- No! No, ma'am. No.

I gave her a smaller apartment,

because she was alone,
and with three rooms...

You had no right, Choco.

- You didn't ask permission, either.
- Please. Ma'am, forgive me.

Who gave you the
house you owned?

You did, ma'am.
- It was Perón!

Now, he's taking it.

Give the comrade her
house back, immediately.

- And where do I go?
- You can go screw yourself.

Which is what you should've
always done. Next in line.

Thank
you, ma'am. Thank you.

Hello. What do you need?

You don't remember me?

Ma'am, I'm afraid
there's been an accident.

- An accident?
Yes, a train.

It derailed while entering
Constitucion. You have to come with us.

We're uncovering the bodies.
- Let's go, then.

Please.

Take notes of everything
the comrades need.

- I'll see you tomorrow,

I don't know if I'm
coming back today.

We've been
coming for three days, please!

I've
been waiting for days!

I just need someone
to listen to me.

I'm cold.

THE LADY OF LIBERTY

What's going on?

I'm so sorry.

Uh. Where's Lidia?

She was on the train, Chino.

- Her neck was broken in the accident.

- Yolanda?
- Your girl...

The girl is all right, Chino.

- She's perfectly fine.

One of the doctors said your
wife had no time to suffer.

- It all happened so fast.

Where is
she? Where is she?

They
took her to the Argerich.

Your in-laws are with her
awaiting the autopsy results.

It's here.

Yes, that's her.

- I'm so sorry.

Astorga, Lidia.

- She was your wife?
- Mm-hmm.

- I see you're a Perónist.

José Nemecio Astorga.

- Yolanda is your daughter.
- Yes.

You don't have to
worry about her future.

The General will pay for
your daughter’s education.

When you start to feel better,
stop by the foundation.

Tell them what happened. Tell
them Evita asked to see you.

- I'm sorry.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- The show's already started.
- I didn't come for the show,

I'm looking for Aldo.
Aldo Cifuentes, the owner.

Ah! You his friend?

No, I'm a journalist.
I write about cinema.

I'm writing a piece about
long-lasting theaters.

Hmm.

Uh. He doesn't really
come here very often.

Maybe if you give me your phone
number, I'll tell him to get in touch.

That's unfortunate, it's urgent.
You see, I'm about to go abroad.

I need some information.

Have you worked here for long?

A few years, yes. Ever
since Chino Astorga retired.

He was the
projectionist in charge

- for many years.
- Uh-huh.

- Do you know where I can find him?

Thank you.

Come in.

Dad died last summer, but
tell me, how can I help you?

My husband's in the other room.
If he's not here, no one enters.

He's smart, you can't
trust anyone nowadays.

Sit down.

What do you want to ask?

Uh. Where to start? Em...

In 1955, between November and
December, you were pretty young, huh?

I was seven years old. But
I've always looked older.

Right, um, this will
seem odd but, um...

Do you remember if there was a
trunk delivered to the theater?

- It was about five feet long?

Did your father
tell you anything about it?

Yes. Oh, how
could I ever forget?

The poupee.

The Poupee?

They brought her late one
night, after the final screening.

Me and my dad, we trusted each
other. We told each other everything.

Yolanda.

Don't go near that trunk.

It has a doll inside.

The theater's owner
bought her in Europe.

But he will give it to his
granddaughter for Christmas.

It's an expensive doll, Yoly.

And we can't let anyone
know that it's here.

Because they will
want to steal it.

I was crazy about dolls,
I'll tell you that.

But you never actually did
see the big doll, did you?

Yes.

One afternoon, I learned
to open the fittings.

That was the first
time I saw my poupee.

She was the most beautiful
doll in the world.

Um...

How
long was she there?

Oh, I'd say, three or four
weeks. I really don't know.

- What are you doing here, Yolanda?
- Don't scold me, Papi. I'm just playing.

How many times have I told
you not to play in here?

- Go to your room.
- Please, don't take my doll away.

- Get out of here! Go!
- Please, Papi!

Don't take my doll away.
- Shut up!

Go to your room,
right now, Yolanda!

I fell ill with a
fever of over 104 degrees.

While I was delirious,

I kept asking whether he
had taken my poupée away.

She's right where you left her.

Was she taken that same night?

No.

It was worse.

Papi sent me right away with the people
of the furniture store, around the block.

I was suffering, from not
knowing what was going on.

When
are we eating, Yoly?

Five minutes more!

So, by the time you came back,
the trunk wasn't there anymore.

No.

They'd taken her.

I was so upset! I
really loved my doll.

- The same way you love a person.
- Because she was a real person.

Who?
- Your poupee wasn't a big doll.

It was an embalmed woman.

What are you saying?
Just what I needed.

I opened the door out of curiosity.
Leave me alone. Please go!

You knew that woman.

You'd seen her in photos.

- Try to remember.
- What woman?

What photos?

Your poupee was Evita.

Eva Perón.

I want you to get out!

How can you think that
my doll was a dead woman?

Patri! Come here,
right now! Patri!

Please!

Poor Silva.

He's dead

and he doesn't know that
nothing was resolved.

What's worse is we have to
lie to our friends. Just like you.

We spent an
evening on the island.

You're going to have to
forgive me. This is between you and me.

Tell me your people's names. I
want to make sure my list is okay

You seem to know more than me.

And the guns?

I don't know where they keep them.
I wouldn't tell you if I did.

Who the hell are you?
Answer me, you bastard!

I'm a journalist. A journalist.

You're the one who came earlier.

The ticket seller told me
you come every now and then.

You spoke with Adela, right?

Yes.

What do you want?

Moori Koenig. I want to ask
him about the corpse of Eva.

I know she spent a month
here, at your theater.

And that she was taken when the
candles and flowers appeared.

You
seem to know a lot.

- How did you find that out?
- Where did they take her?

Was she buried?

Well, the only one who
knows is the Colonel.

Tell him I want to see him.

Do you know how many have
wanted to see him, already?

Has he told anyone?

No. That truth is all he has.

Tell him about me. Tell him
that I have questions for him.

- I just want to talk to him.

- Take my card.

Ask him to give me a call.

You snitch!

Come on, it's not
that big a deal.

- Hello?
Hello.

- Surprised?

Actually, yes.

Avenue De Mayo, 1243.

Can you come now?

Twenty minutes.

How are you, Vázquez? Come in.

This way.
