Plot: Burnt Money, is set in Argentina in 1965. This true story follows the tumultuous relationship between two men who became lovers and ultimately ruthless bank robbers in a notoriously famous footnote in the annals of Argentinian crime history. Nene, Angel and Cuervo are bank robbers who flee from Argentina across the border to Uruguay after a large-scale hold-up that turns bloody. Angel is hurt and the three must lay low until Angel recovers. Nene and Angel are known to everyone they know as "the twins" because of their resemblance, but the two are not brothers at all - they are involved in a steamy homosexual relationship. To get back to Argentina, the group must first wait for Fontana, the brains behind the robbery, to arrange for passports. Anxious from hiding, Cuervo decides to break curfew and go party. After Nene and Angel also decide to take off, Nene meets a prostitute named Giselle and Angel ends up getting in a fight. The group is forced to abandon their refuge and Angel and Nene decide to move in with Giselle. However, the sexual attraction between Nene and Angel burns too strongly and when Nene gets hostile with Giselle and kicks her out, she goes straight to the police to snitch on the group. It's not long before police are surrounding the building and the fate of Nene and Angel appears to be sealed.

Quotes:

Spenser: I need some information from Pemberton College. My name is anathema there, so we need to use a little trick.::Lila: What kind of name is Anathema?::Spenser: Greek.

College secretary: What did you say your name was?::Spenser: Anathema. Pervis Anathema, Refund Enactment agent.

Hawk: You're the detective. I'm just a thug.::Spenser: You're too modest.::Hawk: Didn't mean to say I wasn't a great thug.

Hawk: Let me see if I got this right: Ellis borrows or steals a car one night, an inconspicuous old pink Caddy. He drives out to Pemberton - in this inconspicuous pink Caddy - where there ain't no black folks, and the cops pay attention to any that they see. Not only that, but he cruises around in this inconspicuous pink car until he spots a white woman on a busy street. He drags this white woman into his car in front of witnesses, drives her somewhere, takes her clothes off, strangles her - though he doesn't rape her - dumps her body in the middle of the Pemberton campus and rides on back home with her clothes in his new inconspicuous pink car, coming from an all-white neighborhood just in case the cops want to stop him. And one of the eyewitnesses went to school with the victim, and the other went to school with the victim's boyfriend.::Spenser: Your point?::Hawk: Exactly!

Dean Evans: You are a private detective?::Spenser: Yes, ma'am.::Dean Evans: How does one get to be a private detective?::Spenser: I hesitate to generalize. I was a cop, found myself restless with the hierarchy, decided to go private. I was helped to that decision by getting fired.

Dean Evans: You speak rather well.::Spenser: You too.::Dean Evans: [smiling] Good for you. I was patronizing, wasn't I?

[Spenser eyes Rita Fiore's legs as she walks into his office]::Spenser: Rita Fiore. Still got the wheels.::Rita Fiore: Yeah, and I'm still spinning them.

Rita Fiore: Oh, yeah. Professionally, I'm a big damn success, but am I married?::Spenser: Gee, wish I could help.::Rita Fiore: You still seeing Susan, the psychiatrist?::Spenser: Psychologist.::Rita Fiore: Whatever.

Rita Fiore: So who shows up here last spring at my firm? My old adversary, Marcy Vance. And as soon as we're reintroduced, she starts in on me about Ellis Alves. He was framed. She was too green to conduct a proper defense. He was the victim of racial discrimination.::Spenser: If she's right, somebody else did it. And got away with it.::Rita Fiore: Uh-huh.::Spenser: So there's more to this than flashing your legs at me to remind me of what I missed.::Rita Fiore: Well, that's the primary purpose.

Spenser: And if I find out he didn't do it?::Rita Fiore: No, let's be clear on this. The firm's not hiring you to clear this guy. The firm is hiring you to establish the truth.::Spenser: And you a lawyer.::Rita Fiore: [smiling] I know, I'm not comfortable with it, either. But there it is.
