TURN OF THE TIDE
Eduardo!
I don't want your girlfriend's panties in my living room.
Sílvia's not my girlfriend.
And this is not a pigsty.
I didn't touch anything, Uncle Joe.
No one touches my harpoon. Okay?
You sound like you're talking about your pecker.
This harpoon was used in a film that Orson Welles shot nearby in Faial.
My grandfather harpoons a sperm whale in it.
Back when there were still real men in the Azores.
They're not mine.
- It's just a few crumbs. - Goldfish can't eat bread.
You look fit to work.
I'm fit for more than that.
Joe, these chorizos are really good. Where do you get them from?
What do you use to make them this good?
Chicken shit.
America's that way.
Nineteen hundred nautical miles to Boston.
I still can't believe Rafael isn't here.
- And that it was my dad-- - Arruda isn't your dad.
He got your mother pregnant and never cared about you.
We'll be at his funeral someday.
Have you noticed you always look for solutions?
You don't like it here, so you want to go to America.
Arruda killed Rafael, so Arruda also has to die.
I don't need solutions, Eduardo.
I just need someone to listen.
Rafael wasn't just your boyfriend.
He was also my best friend.
I'll never forget him.
We have to move on, don't we?
People cope with pain in different ways.
What if the drugs we brought here are a burden, not a solution?
Detective.
This might help us understand what happened.
We found shell casings and blood samples up by the lighthouse.
Any witnesses?
No witnesses.
The lighthouse is automated. No one's lived here in years.
And the nearest house is about
two kilometers away.
Didn't you say nothing ever happens in São Miguel?
I used to think that.
I was never good at babysitting.
But I don't want any trouble.
I have a question, Uncle Joe.
- Are you taking my mother to America? - Eduardo, go inside.
He's my son.
And my nephew.
If you hadn't run away from America,
my sister would be in a decent hospital with real doctors.
I didn't run away from America.
I had a family here. But that means nothing to you.
I want to go to America.
Can you help me?
You and your American fixation.
Why is it stupid? You and my dad lived there.
Melo.
A Portuguese name.
- You're at the bottom of the pyramid. - What pyramid?
But what does my passport say?
So wake the fuck up, boy.
Stupid birds.
Go away!
Go!
Go away!
Is he dead?
Are you okay?
Out of the way!
Move!
He looks like the guy from The Matrix.
Fudge!
Okay. I'll wait for him here.
Yes. Don't worry.
Bye, darling.
Hey, what are you doing there?
Listen.
Shall I give you a cigarette?
Hey!
I wouldn't tell your mother if I were you.
Shut that damn kid up!
He knows what kind of dad he has!
Sure! Not a moment's peace in this house!
And you're a great help!
Okay, calm down.
Where are you going?
Mamma mia! Spaghetti with clams.
So good!
You're a magnificent cook, signora.
Magnificent!
Poor little guy. May I?
Come here. Poor thing. Don't cry.
There, there. It's okay.
Family is the most important thing in a man's life.
You see? He's quiet now.
Can I be your best man?
I've been your confidant for years. Don't I deserve to be best man?
Rafael deserves respect.
You never failed to respect him.
It's too soon.
Hey. Where are you going?
The beach.
Mind you don't leave it too late.
Rafael promised twice to bring me here.
He never cared about what I thought or how I felt.
Or what my dreams were.
I knew I was just a trophy.
You're the most amazing girl I know.
You don't know many.
You've never left Rabo de Peixe. And look.
I'm still the only girl around here.
I've seen a lot of movies.
If I'm all that amazing,
why has no one ever proposed to me?
You men are a bunch of wimps. That's what you are.
Sorry, Joe.
The first song I learned on the piano.
A champion of civil rights here on the island.
Some suffering is universal. It knows no borders, Joe.
Like you care about my suffering, sir.
Don't mock me.
I've been around, boy.
Do you know why I keep this harpoon in the house?
Because it's as important to know who you are
as what you don't want to be.
If I proposed to you now, what would you say?
That you're crazy.
Third time's the charm.
What does it matter?
Uncle Joe, look.
I caught one.
Here it is.
We don't eat that crap.
What's ketchup, Uncle Joe?
One of the best things in the world, but your dad doesn't know.
Dad, can I try ketchup?
Don't put stupid ideas in his head.
I know I'm part of the pyramid of fools.
The truth is,
your childhood dream of going to America,
I kind of feel responsible for it.
And you never sent the ketchup.
- You know your fish, Red? - Yep.
He'll always live in that tank.
If I stay here, I'll never be anything else.
A fish stuck in a fishbowl.
Here, at least, Red has food and a place to live.
I don't want to go back home.
Don't want to or can't?
I see a camel!
I swear. I see a camel.
I see a camel too. With ten humps. Do you see it?
He's totally baked.
But you're the one getting burned.
You'll end up cross-eyed playing that Snake game.
Like this? Don't I look cute?
Don't bogart the joint.
Did you know the police can locate a person via their cell phone signal?
- How do you know? - I saw it on the news once.
Are you serious?
Goodbye, little snake. I'm going to miss you.
Now only the sea knows where the fuck we are!
It'll put hairs on your chest.
Fuck me. It's heavier than Fafá de Belém's tits.
I wouldn't know!
Let's get it down there. Get behind it.
One, two.
Pull!
Fucking hell!
Go on!
Perfect!
You know what, boy?
- You sure you don't want to marry me? - No, never.
No?
- Shall we not marry in America? - Sure.
I've always loved you. You know that, right?
Tell me about it.
You also fell in love with a Black Panther who was wanted by the FBI?
No. Much better!
With the priest in Rabo de Peixe.
Don't laugh at my misfortune.
- Why "misfortune"? - He's a priest.
And I am what I am.
Didn't you just say that not even love can bring together two different worlds?
I live alone on an island
in the middle of nowhere.
Yes?
Joe.
You said, "One very important thing I'm sure of." What is it?
I'm ready.
So am I.
I can hear your heart.
But I don't know what it says.
The same thing.
It has for many years.
I'm not talking about us.
I'm talking about you.
At school, they used to say you were a submarine.
As if it were a good thing.
But I don't think it's a good thing.
As if you were always hiding
or running away.
As if you were never really here.
Don't run away.
Tell me something personal.
Something true.
My mother.
She didn't want me to see her in that condition.
So I'd hide under her bed.
I don't know. It was as if I could protect her.
The night she died,
she told my father I could stay there, in their bed.
To this day, I think...
I should have opened my eyes.
I should have looked at my mother.
Seen her for the last time.
Detective, take a look at this.
Seems excessive for a fisherman from Rabo de Peixe.
No one knows where Eduardo is. His friends are missing too.
They must have gone on the run.
Maybe Detective Banha knows where to find them.
No?
I told you I barely know them.
Look, Bruna.
I believe you don't know where they are.
But I'm sure you know a lot.
And I need your help.
To arrest some kids from Rabo de Peixe?
I'll tell you something I've learned since I arrived.
How dare you bring my daughter in!
We're just having a talk.
The talk's over! Let's go, Bruna.
Where is Francesco Bonino?
How are you so fresh after drinking so much last night?
Fried liver.
I swear on my mother's grave, I'll never touch a drop of alcohol again.
Mailbox 36.
Where are you, wretched boy? You'll be the death of me.
You're right. I'm sorry. Don't worry. Everything's okay.
I should slap you in the face with a budgie.
Tell me where you are, or the birds starve.
Something terrible has happened.
Eduardo.
I need to go to Rabo de Peixe.
- You can't go back now. - I have to bury my father!
I didn't bury Rafael. I don't know where his body is, but I'm here.
Sílvia's right. You can't go back.
I told your dad I'd help you.
What plan?
You didn't tell me?
It doesn't matter right now, Sílvia!
Until you're far away, there'll be no peace. Coke or no coke.
I know. I'll tear apart the motherfucker that killed him.
Eduardo!
Fucking let me go!
Hello, little ones.
Come on. It's okay.
So yummy!
Come here!
Oh my gosh.
Come here, little one. Come and eat!
Oh my gosh.
Hello, little one. Come on.
Here you are. Eat up.
Actually,
I never
imagined these little birds
were so soft.
Eduardo!
Did you hear that?
- What's happening? - Cover Red's tank.
We have two ways to settle this shit!
Go inside.
The first is you give me the shit that belongs to me,
and we walk away peacefully.
The second...
- Whoa, old man! - Who the fuck are you?
I'm your second option, motherfucker!
If it isn't Wednesday.
I'll give you a third option, asshole.
Call off your dogs and get the fuck out of here.
The drugs were never yours.
What's up, two-faced bitch?
You fooled me.
You were always the weakest of the bunch, you fuck.
At least Rafael had a pair.
- And you killed him, didn't you? - No, you fucking killed Rafael!
Move!
Fucking move! Go on!
Fucking get in there!
Come out, old man!
Fucking get in there!
Fuck!
Get in there!
Go!
You can go in now! Go on!
Go!
That fucking son of a whore!
Let's get--
Fucking hell!
Where are the drugs?
I'll blow your fucking head off!
Where are the fucking drugs?
Fucking let go of him!
Careful with that shit. It's not an air rifle. It's got a kick.
- Get out of here! - Relax. Look.
Unarmed.
You almost died because of the fucking cocaine.
And who was by your side? Who took care of you?
Me.
Your dad.
Sweetie, tell me where the drugs are.
And we'll both go home.
I'm your dad. You're my daughter.
We forgive everything.
- Right, Zinha? - Zinha, my ass!
You fucking traitor! You want to kill your fucking father?
Is that it? Fucking hell!
Fuck!
Fucking traitor!
Fuck!
Fucking hell!
Fuck.
Fucking... hell.
What now?
Now we're alive.
There's no excuse for what I did.
But justice was done.
For Rafael and all the shit Arruda ever did.
Neither of us has a clear conscience.
No one forced us to bring all the drugs.
Eduardo.
There's always an alternative.
No.
Not always.
Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty.
It wasn't just Arruda who died today.
I'll carry this with me for the rest of my life.
I know.
You learn a lot in the slammer.
I should write you a list.
You're not in jail or dead.
This is a prison in the ocean.
Or a cemetery for the living.
I'm not going to jail or the cemetery.
If we follow our plan, everything will be okay.
She wants to ditch the drugs and run.
You do that,
and you'll live like your dad.
What the fuck am I supposed to do?
I don't get it!
If I go, I'll be like you. If I stay, I'll be like Dad. What's the right choice?
There's no right choice.
You can go back to Rabo de Peixe...
