Hey, where are you going?
- I'm looking for a bag.
- There's no bag here.
- It's small, green...
- I haven't seen anything.
But it has to be here.
- Please, get out!
- It has to be here.
I used to work here until
last week.
Leave!
I've never seen you here.
Hey, Rodrigo.
- What's up, man?
- What are you doing here?
I was just looking
for a bag, brother.
- Did you find it?
- Nope.
Why haven't you come back?
I was sick, bro.
Oh yeah, with what?
I had head aches,
from here to here.
They didn't let me work,
and besides with the sun...
- Cheer up a little bit.
- It's not about cheering up.
[Money.
[Anguish.

[System.
What's up man?
Everything's OK?
- I recognize you.
- Yeah, so what?
You're the drummer of
a punk group, aren't you?
Yeah, why?
Are you interested in
some punk cassettes...
...and some oldies?
I don't like oldies,
they're out.
And I already have
punk cassettes.
Come on, man.
I was a punk, like you.
Wait a second.
Two cigarettes.
Wow, look man.
That bike all alone.
If only I had the gun
to heist it.
Man!
You and I and all of us
are alone.
We must clean up this place.
The place was a real mess.
Look at this man's tools.
- He had nothing.
- Do you see?
Better throw that.
Hey, man. Come and help us.
Why should I?
You ass-kisser!
Ass-kisser?
I'm helping my father.
Your father,
you ass-kisser.
I get as much as you do.
And I don't do anything.
So what man, you're always
so bitter.
Rodrigo, go to the corner
and bring me some aguardiente.
Ah, that's so far away.
No, it's not too far.
Come quick, get me a bottle.
Send me the money.
What do you mean "send me"?
Come and get it.
Give it to me.
[When death arrives...
[... the body goes
to the cemetery, becomes dust.
[But some things prevail...
[... one is personality,
which is pure energy.
[And it's formed during
the first seven years.
What's up?
[There's something important
within Gnosis...
OK, or what?
Come, I've got
to talk to you.
[... what the religious call
the soul.
[Which continues to
the after world...
[... or what our grandparents
refer to as eternity.
[At the moment the deceased
exhales his last breath...
[... he or she projects
an electro psychic image.
[Such image continues to exist
in the outer...
What's up, man?
What's up, babe?
- Are you busy, bro?
- Yeah, I'm going up hill.
- I need to talk to you.
- About what?
I need to talk to you, alone.
See you later?
Sure a minute, bro. OK?
Fine, I'll hang out here.
No, I won't go out with him.
I don't like him, do you?
Well I don't dislike him...
Don't stay out too late.
I won't. I'll go now.
Don't go too crazy tonight.
No way.
I'm going to bed.
Me too.
- See you.
- See you.
We're not going to do
crazy things in the hood.
Let's leave it like that.
Why? Let's go over to...
I never used to go out
with you. I don't trust you.
I'm going to go,
we'll talk another day.
Better yet, let's go out
on the bike.
Wait for me here,
I'll take a bath.
OK, bro.
- Did you like the bar?
- Yeah.
- Sure?
- I had a good time.
One of these days
I'll take you out for pizza.
Who was that chick
outside the bar?
Which one?
The one who kissed you
and was checking you out.
Don't be jealous cause
it makes you look ugly.
I need to buy eye-shadow,
shampoo...
...lipstick and panty hose.
OK, I'll give you money
for everything...
...but I'll get the panty hose
and put it on you.
OK, good.
- OK?
- Yeah, good.
All set.
I have to go.
You didn't invite
me for a cup of coffe.
- OK, come on, let's go in.
- No, I'm only kidding.
My father's inside but I
don't think it matters.
I have to go and get
some money I need, OK?
Call me.
I'll call around 11.30
when I get home.
- I'll wait for your call.
- OK.
Sure?
But if I can't I'll be
thinking of you.
That way we can go to bed
together, right?
OK, honey.
- See you.
- See you.
Take care. OK?
Bye.
Where were you?
At a bar.
At a bar or on a bike?
On the bike and I went
to a bar.
Who was the boy?
I didn't see his face.
My boyfriend,
who else could it be?
- Your boyfriend!
- Yes.
Bring him in
so I can meet him?
I've brought him here
but you're never around.
You only bring him when
I'm not around, don't you?
So, should I stay home
all day like a watch dog?
Around here they don't
let you even go out.
What a nuisance!
Are you staying there
or going to bed?
I'm staying here.
Are you staying there?
Turn down the volume
so I can get some sleep.
OK.
See you.
Let's start here.
There's a bunch of fat cats.
Let's shake them down
and then we can hang out.
We can go grab some food.
Hey, look at that!
Let's get that fat cat.
Ain't that swell!
Fast, don't let him
get away. Go get him.
Get off, you fag.
Cut him off!
Cut him off!
OK, mother fucker.
Turn around.
Look the other way you fag.
Are you going to make
me kill you?
Don't move motherfucker
or I'll pop you!
Get lost you fag
or I'll pop you!
Look out for him!
Be careful, don't let him move.
Rodrigo.
Rodrigo.
What's up?
What are you doing
up there?
I ain't doing nothing.
You got to be
doing something!
You don't let anyone sleep.
Look at the time.
You've got some
water boiling on the stove.
I'll be down soon
to turn it off.
How soon?
Do it now!
Your brother has to get up
early to go to school.
Is it about your mother?
Does it have to be that?
Well, it has to be something.
Come, get some sleep.
I haven't slept all night.
Yeah, I'll go soon.
Do it now. And don't give me
any trouble.
[I already called him!
[I already called him!
Why did you tear
some pages of my notebook?
I didn't tear anything.
And you made drawings, see!
So what.
The pages on this side
are falling.
It's no big deal.
You think that what's written
there is so interesting?
Don't you go busting
my chops over three pages.
You think you're so smart
but you're a nobody.
You didn't even finish
junior school!
And you know so much,
don't you?
You brat!
Go pay the money we owe
in school...
...so they don't kick
the kid out.
But that's so far away.
Then who will go?
You go.
I'll go later.
And you hurry up
or you'll miss class.
Can't you see I'm moping?
How should I know
you were mopping?
- You never know anything.
- Am I supposed to know?
- Why don't you do something?
- Do something?
Yeah, start doing something.
Don't waste more time.
- What? You cheap bitch.
- Bitch? No way.
Do something.
Stop loosing time.
- Stop fucking around!
- And why?
Get out! Leave!
Leave? This house is ours.
That's what mom said.
This house belongs
to those who works.
To those who work?
- Turn it off.

This house belongs

Hey, give me a soda.

- A beer.
Make it an apple soda.
Let's go up to the hills.
No, I'm not going up there.
Will you stay here
doing nothing?
Yeah, I'll stay here doing
nothing.
Besides I have to pay
at my brother's school.
- What happened, bro?
- They busted me, bro.
But what happened?
I had too...
I even lost the gun.
How did you lose the gun?
I wasn't going to get
myself killed.
But what happened, asshole?
Nothing, I was with Nandit.
And a guy got a hold of him,
and he escaped from me...
...and the cops were behind,
And they shot him. So I shot...
The pigs? Did you get
in a shootout with them?
Sure. I emptied my gun.
I think I even got
one of them.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- You shot a pig?
- Yes, and...
And you're here
like nothing happened?
So man, everything's cool?
- Where's Adolfo.
- He's over there.
- What's up dude?
- Everything's cool.
You can't stay here.
You have to leave.
Sure, I'll leave ASAP.
Watch out. Don't tell
anyone where you're going.
No, no one.
Keep in touch, so you know
how things are.
- Be careful you scum.
- Don't worry.
What a bummer.
- Where are you going man?
- Up to the hills.
Cool.
Let's go together.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Just a minute.
What about our deal?
Nothing.
The man wasn't there.
Bullshit, you're
just pulling my leg.
I've got you checked out.
- Where are you going?
- Up to the hills, with him.
To the hills? No way.
You want to go there,
go on your own.
- Not on this bike, asshole.
- OK, cool man.
Take this back.
Take it to Charlie.
Let's go.
I'm bored to my bones.
Buy me a beer, man.
Buy me a beer, man.
- I have no money.
- This money then?
It's to pay
for my brother's school.
- Don't be so jumpy.
- You don't have to touch me.
- What school is he in?
- Mary.
Let me take the last slug.
You know what. I'll go with you
and I won't be so bored.
- Federico?
- What's up?
I'm Rodrigo.
Mrs. Lucy's son.
Oh, Hi.
You used to work
with my mom before.
Don't you know anyone selling
a cheap set of drums?
It's been a long time
since I left that.
Now I only know piano
and violin players.
I no longer know anything
about that.
One of these days
will talk.
I haven't slept
and I have a hangover.
If you want we can talk
one of these nights.
- Sure.
- OK.
But let me know if
you here of any.
Sure.
I know someone who has
a set of drums.
- Who?
- A guy Olimpo, in Toscana.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
How much does he want?
I don't know. He's got
some great cans...
...and some crazy cymbals!
You know, bro,
those drums are OK.
The charles is in good shape.
The set of drums is OK.
In the end I don't know.
Maybe I'll make them myself...
...with some cowhide.
We'll see.
Hey kid...
...come here!
- Who gave you that watch?
- My old lady.
- Let me see it, man.
- No, mom gave it to me.
I recognize that watch.
It has a mark on the back.
No I got it because
I got promoted in school.
Promoted?
I don't care about that.
No phony stories.
Phony stories?
What, are you going to
bully me around?
- Come on, let me check it.
- No way.
But that watch is...
OK, I'll see you around.
Hey, where are you going?
What do you mean
where am I going?
- Let's walk together.
- Why, man?
What do you mean why?
You made me wait too long.
I already missed class.
- I've got the money, let's go.
- No, I already missed a class...
- I've got the money, let's go.
- No, I already missed a class...
That was some watch we
saw up there, wasn't it?
Hold on, let me solve
this problem.
Those windows
are still broken?
I used to study here.
I broke them.
I don't believe...
Is that teacher Julieta
still here?
- She still fucks with everyone.
- She's real slut.
You bet.
She did it with my classmate.
Man, this door is always
locked.
You know what, see you.
I'm going to go check
on some friends.
Give me a mango, man.
Hey kid.
Hey kid, come here.
What's up?
Have you seen
Richard and Jerry?
No, bro.
- Sure you haven't seen them?
- No, bro.
- You haven't seen them?
- Nope.
I think I saw them...
...I saw them up there.
But I'm not so sure...
I run past by.
- Go on and look for them.
- Sure, don't worry.
- What's up?
- What's up, bro?
Look, here's the money,
if you have more give me some.
Sure.
Take these six, asshole.
- But careful!
- Sure.
- Where's that other dickhead?
- There he is, look.
So, what's up?
How did it go?
No man, I started giving
credit...
...and they stood me up.
They told me
maybe tonight or...
Are you stupid or what?
You told me you'd pay today.
But what can I do
if the y stood me up?
You didn't come through.
This is the second time.
Nice going.
- Look, there it goes.
- Look at it.
You go up, you fag.
Come on, look at it.
Hurry up.
Hurry up, hurry asshole.
You go that way,
I think it went this way.
Hurry up.
Hit it, hit it.
[What happened,
did it kill her?
[Did it kill her?
[Who was that girl?
[Nobody knows her.
[Nobody knows her.
Is Olympo here?
No, he's not here.
Do you know here he is?
He went out camping,
gone to the caverns.
Is he selling a set of drums,
or not?
Well yes he has one,
but not here.
I'm trying to start
a punk group.
Well if he sells it, he'll
do it to a heavy metal group.
You know punkers are a bunch
of good for nothings.
I don't think he'll sell that.
You know what? I've got
to check out cartoons.
OK, go on.
OK, good luck.
Hi, what's up?
- Are you alone?
- Sure, come in.
- Here's what you asked for.
- Thanks.
How did it go yesterday?
Quite good, yeah real good.
Who did you talk to?
Tell me about your job.
There's no job,
I just got the money.
But with who? Why don't you
tell me about your job?
Why do you have to know?
You know I hate it when
you ask me about those things.
Don't you?
Can't you tell me
what is it that you did?
No, no, you don't need
to know. OK?
I don't want you
asking about that.
OK?
OK, if you want that,
I'll never bring it up again.
What's up, bro?
They took John out
from his house.
- How come?
- In a jeep with no plates.
They took him away
this afternoon, what a bummer.
He's a real dick-head, I told
him yesterday to lay low.
- But he's so stubborn.
- And he killed a cop.
Sweet Jesus, for sure he's
as good as dead by now.
What a bummer. You know what,
let's go inside.
Sure, let's do that.
Aunt!
Aunt!
- Hello son, what's up?
- Hello, how are you?
- Weren't you with Adolfo?
- Sure, he's in the room.
Tell me what's going on?
What happened?
They took John out
from his house.
- They took him away.
- How's that?
They took him away in a jeep
with no plates.
Do you see what happens?
The poor family must
be shattered.
You know aunt, this is too
hot for me.
I'd better go away, camping.
This is so rough.
No man, that's too much
suffering for a poor mom.
You never think about us.
Any time they're going
to do that to you.
Don't you say that,
don't jinx me.
You know I don't like nobody
telling me that.
I really don't like that.
That's why I'm telling you.
It's for your own good.
You know what?
Let's just forget about that.
No.
Hello.
Hello.
Don't smoke that here!
Nobody comes up here.
The old man might.
No, he's busy downstairs
with his own things.
That thing really makes
feel stupid.
Not me.
Tell you what, let's go
downstairs, smoke it there.
- Sure OK.
- OK?
Sure.
- Hello Tavo.
- Hi dad.
- Hi Dorita.
- Mr. Marco Tulio.
I bought some meat but I don't
think it'll fit in my ice box.
Could I use your refrigerator
to put it inside.
Sure, it's all yours.
- No problem?
- Not at all.
If my new fridge arrives
I won't have to bother you.
OK sir.
- I'm going out for a walk.
- Thanks a lot son.
Look at the blondie.
Come on, take a look man!
Which blondie?
Look at him, the one
with the blue shirt.
Yeah, I've seen him.
In a year he'll
be up to no good.
Sure.
Cops are more afraid of kids
cause they're so agressive.
Yeah, we just get them
and shoot them immediately.
And they fall with
the first one.
But when they catch you...
...they'll torture you
do whatever they want.
A little kid will never
go yellow on you...
...but those fags...
...they all get yellow...
...unless they're a big bunch.
Sure.
Look, there's Orion.
- Where?
- There with the three stars.
- That's so cool.
- The legs, shoulders and head.
Orion, mighty warrior with
all his strength.
That's a beauty, isn't it?
- That should be ours man.
- Look, he's leaving.
- Really?
- Yeah look.
You know what, we must
jump on him when he leaves.
But what time is it?
I don't know man.
Old man, what time is it?
- It's almost eleven.
- OK, man. Thanks.
You're welcome.
How are we going
to pull it off?
Don't worry, tomorrow
I'll ask Adolfo for his gun.
But I have to give it
to you...
...because with this outfit
I'm too flashy.
Why don't we steal
Adolfo's gun?
We can always say that
the cops took it.
You know what you're
a real slime bucket.
I get along with him
just fine. He's my buddy.
Don't be so itchy.
Did you think we really
were going to cross him?
You're a real scum bag,
you can't be trusted.
Yeah, sure. Roll that joint
and let's get stoned.
- Sure man.
- There's nothing more to it.
Sure.
[The wires in your head,
the straitjacket on...
[... none of that will save you.
[They won't save you because
I'm going to kill you.
- Can't you sleep?
- Nope.
- Would you like warm milk?
- No.
How about herbal tea?
Nope.
This late
they upset my stomach.
I haven't been able
to sleep either.
Oh man! My uncle
is really noisy.
When is he going to leave?
Nobody can sleep with him here.
Come here my love.
Put your legs down, honey.
- Cesar, what's up?
- Hey, hi.
- Do you work here?
- Yeah, I've been here a while.
Make me some drumsticks.
Do you already have
the drum set?
No, but I need
the drum sticks.
You know what, they'll cost
400 pesos.
- Are you crazy?
- Crazy? Why, man?
- I'll give you 200 pesos.
- No way, man.
To tell you the truth, I'm just
a workshop assistant.
So who do I talk to?
Let's see, you should
talk with that guy.
Talk to that guy over there.
Me, I don't get involved
in those things. I just work.
I just wanted
to make some extra bucks.
But he'll charge
you the same amount.
OK, cool.
[Money.
[Problems.
[Money.
[System.
Hold it Javier.
- So what's up?
- Everything's cool?
So you got the drum sticks.
That's cool.
- Where did you get them?
- In a carpenter's shop.
They're awesome.
This dude is going to get
himself a drum set.
- Ain't that true?
- We'll see about that.
Sure. Hey, we're heading
for the hills.
- Where?
- To the hills.
Sure thing.
I'm bummed out with John's
disappearance. Did you know?
- He disappeared?
- Yeah.
- What happened to him?
- He was taken away.
Taken away?
Right.
They came in a jeep for him.
Are you coming? And I'll go
for my bike that's nearby.
So we all go,
you can ride with him.
- Wait here.
- All right, I'll wait here.
Cool. The drum sticks
are awesome, bro.
[How can...
[... I calm myself?
[I reject all.
[I no longer...
[... get any...
[... satisfaction.
[... satisfaction.
[... satisfaction.
[... satisfaction.
[Not even with drugs...
[... nor alcohol.
OK, fag turn around
and I'll toss the coin.
Turn around.
So, you're not obeying.
OK, turn around.
There it goes.
- What's up?
- What's up?
- What's up kid?
- Everything's cool.
- Look out after my bike.
- Sure thing.
Look at that, a punker
going swiming with a jacket.
Going swiming?
Have you gone nuts?
I'm not going swiming there.
Not a chance.
If I do I'll do it
butt-naked. Sure thing.
Not using those fag
swimsuits.
- They look like your sister's.
- No way, they're your sister's.
She already became a hooker
giving her pussy all around.
Fag.
Watch it!
Pictures are a total giveaway.
Yeah dude, a picture is
a total giveaway. For sure.
If they catch you, because it
can always happen...
...it's a total giveaway.
And in the end a picture
is only a memory.
What's the use of that?
Stop horsing around, dude.
You're a real pain, you'll get
into trouble for been a pain.
And for been so childish.
You know what, this guy
has a luck, this size.
You haven't been killed yet
because you're fucking lucky.
Because you're
a real nuisance.
- You know what kid?
- Don't pull my hair.
If you shoot to the head...
...aim a block down.
You should aim to the chest.
So you'll hit the head.
Listen to this asshole.
A block?
How many blocks
do you have?
He has a complete avenue.
Anybody can make mistakes.
And people shouldn't butt in.
OK, that's cool.
Stop bugging me man! That's
why you'll get into trouble.
For being such a pain.
In the end I cut the head
out of all my pictures.
I've eliminated all of them.
In the end they're nothing
more than giveaways.
Yeah right, in the end
pictures are no good, dude.
Anybody can rat on you
and they'll point you out.
- You're right.
- They're no good.
- But you know what man?
- Nothing like weed, dude.
Sure. But you know what?
Specially nowadays.
You're always looking
over your shoulder.
And with December being
so near.
You know, in December
you start missing your friends.
You know, I've also
been thinking.
I'm going punk all the way
and chill out on the stealing.
- Not a chance.
- I'll stay home, lay low.
The All Souls Day is about
to come and you may end up...
...being a soul.
That's why I'm telling you,
you just be a punk...
...and lay low in your house.
- Sure thing.
And on December 31st you
can end up being...
...the doll they burn.
In the end it's better
to lay low in the house.
Those days, everybody's
trying to knock you down.
Because the noise of
fireworks help cover up.
Thanks.
So you SOB,
everything's cool?
What's up? Are you hanging
out here amidst the trees?
- What's up, dude?
- Everything's cool.
Those sticks are for what?
Are they for masturbating?
- Sure. To play the drums.
- Are you a drummer?
That's cool.
Hey, look out! These two
are going to kill themselves.
OK, dude,
come and get it.
OK, dude,
come and get it.
Look at him,
he fights like a fag.
Come on, leave me alone.
Let's start again.
"Let's start again". As if you
could do that in a real fight.
He's already been stabbed
four times, see that Adolfo?
Come on, let me show you
how to fight with a blade.
Piss off.
Draw a line here, Edgar.
Piss off, you ain't got
nothing to teach us.
Stop the racket,
you crazy little fag.
The fag spoke.
Don't fall asleep on me!
Stick it up his neck, man.
Give me the joint, dude.
These two fags
are going to kill themselves.
Quick, no this guy
is a real dick-head.
He could've sticked it in him.
The kid doesn't know
how to jump.
Stab him now.
Yeah, he's dead. A goner.
He has had my bass for
a long time.
- Why don't you ask for it?
- I haven't seen the asshole.
That fag has had my bass
for two months now.
- Punk ass kid.
- Shut up, bastard!
- What are you doing here?
- Listening to them, and you?
I came here to see if they
let me play the drums a bit.
And those chicks?
What are they doing here?
They are a couple of
head bangers that want to...
...play vocals with the band.
First, this part.
Then the chorus.
Then that, and the chorus.
And that's it.
Yeah that's the whole thing.
- Quick or slow?
- Quick, as fast as you can.
- OK.
- Let's try out, OK?
No man, I think not.
Now I'm into other things,
I'm into classical music.
- That's hard.
- Yeah.
But we can jam together
a little bit afterwards.
If you invite me, sure.
- They'll let us jam a bit.
- OK, good.
One, two three.
Your turn. Once more.
OK, ready.
Go on, stop bitching.
Go ahead.
- Now?
- Yeah.
- No, no, no!
- What's the problem?
- No, no, no!
- What's the problem?
What do you want?
You have to put more
into it, it's so weak.
- No, that's no good.
- No, no, no!
But we're vocalizing like
if it were Heavy Metal.
- No, fuck off.
- You, fuck off!
If you want to play, go ahead...
...I can't play with
those sorry ass bitches...
You're the sorry ass bitch.
- Stop bitching, you sorry ass...
- If you argue say something...
Hey, Omar.
You junk yard heavy metal
bitch.
- Come on, don't you hit me.
- Junk yard?
What are you laughing about.
You're the junk yard asshole.
I'm not so concerned about
that, just about us.
I'm always very nervous...
...not knowing where you are,
who are you with...
...what's happened to you.
Are you OK?
I must tell you something.
What's up, babe?
Everything's OK?
Good.
I must tell you something.
- OK, so what's going on?
- What's up?
There's some strange people
looking for you, dude.
How's that?
Some guys posing as members
of the utility companies.
But I smell something cooking,
You'd better get lost.
Be aware.
Yeah. Some very strange guys.
Good luck, man.
OK thanks, see you.
I'll go hide myself.
Good luck, bro.
Take care.
Bye bye.
What happened?
Do you see?
Hey, Adolfo! Come down
for a sec, man.
- No, you come up.
- OK.
What's up man?
What a fucking situation!
Why's that?
Some guys were looking
for me, man.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, man.
That sucks.
I don't know. Some kids told me
that they were looking for me.
- What do you need?
- Well man I need the gun.
There's this bike.
We saw a bike with Ramon.
I need the gun.
But you know I don't
like that Ramon.
No, don't worry about that
I'm keeping my eyes open...
...but I really need to do
this because I'm low on cash.
I need the cash.
OK, dude. I'll lend it
but to you, not him.
- OK, don't worry.
- Not to that Judas.
Dont worry, everything's cool.
- Wait for me here.
- Sure thing.
- What's up man?
- Hello, dude.
- Haven't you seen Alarcon?
- No, man.
I need him.
You know what time is it?
- It's around 9:00.
- OK, man. Thanks.
- See you around.
- See you, dude.
Hey fag, are you
going to take it or what?
I ain't taking nothing.
Then why are you coming
around here so much?
I'm looking for an address,
my cousin lives here.
Yeah right.
Get lost you fag!
Do you think I'm going
to steal your bike?
Get lost, go on!
Hey Edgar!
- What's up?
- Have you seen Ramon?
- No man.
- No?
No man. I haven't seen
that dude.
I saw him here a while ago.
- Yes?
- Yeah, dude.
- A long time ago?
- Yeah, a while ago.
- Hello, son?
- Hi, dad.
How's everything? Have you
seen Tavo around?
- No I haven't seen him.
- Do you know where he is?
The meat store business
is looking good.
Today, I got
a nice lot of meat.
Do you remember your mother's
cousin house in Guarne.
It sure will do you some
good to go there for a while.
That way you can get
your thoughts cleared.
I'm not sick.
I'm not saying that,
but you have to rest...
...everybody does.
Wait and see you'll
get better.
- Do you want a drink?
- No I don't want.
- Go ahead.
- No, what for?
Whatever.
Take it easy.
In life everything goes away.
- Where could I find Tavo?
- No idea.
If you see him, tell him
I need to talk with him.
Don't forget.
- You know what?
- Good luck, man.
I can't go and do that job.
Look for some one else.
OK, I'll look for
someone else.
OK, good luck. Take care.
Good luck, man.
- What's up Fabio?
- Hi, Adolfo. Everything's OK?
- What's up?
- I'm in deep trouble.
How's that?
- Some guys are looking for me.
- No kidding.
Sure, man.
Some guys in a car with
public utilities signs.
And some guys in a bike.
- What did you do this time?
- Nothing.
You know I make a living
here and there.
I was wondering if you could
let me crash here.
Go ahead, come in.
Come in kid.
Hello Alicita.
Hello.
- Hello Felipe, what's up?
- What's up, dude?
- What's up, Victor?
- What's up, dude?
- What's going on?
- Everything's cool.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm just hiding out.
OK, that's cool man.
You're better off here
than in your own house...
...you sit at the table
and all they do is complain.
You try to eat fast
and your sister keeps guard.
Sure, this place is
much better.
It's in a high place
and nobody comes up here.
But this little patio
is not very safe.
There's no place to hide.
You have to scram downhill.
[There's a dead guy here.
[Who knows who was it?
Hey kids, what's going on
over there?
They found a dead guy
in the brook.
Bummer.
You know what?
I finally got her in bed.
She's a real slut, isn't she?
- What's up dude?
- Everything's good?
Listen up man.
What went on with our deal?
Didn't I tell you to drop
by at eleven?
Don't you give me that crap.
I was there at eleven...
...and you weren't around.
You see? That's why things
don't work out, dude.
OK, but you know what?
We're here for a reason.
Let's not kid ourselves.
You think we're stupid.
OK. Tell you what.
We have a job.
- What's the deal?
- A Mazda.
The car already has a buyer.
- Can you hide it?
- It pays 500.000 pesos. Yes.
Everything is planned.
You'll go on a bus,
with the guns.
I'll go over with this guy
on the bike.
OK, we're on.
We'll meet on 33rd street,
by the bridge.
Keep the details.
Hey, two beers.
Cold!
[Money.
[Anguish.
[Money.
Who's driving the car?
I'll do it.
Not a chance.
Hold your horses.
- I'm driving it.
- Yeah his driving the car.
OK, he drives the car
no problem.
- Sure.
- Sure.
Do you have
Mrs. Nohemi's number?
Why are you going to bother
over there?
What's it to you?
Mind your own business.
I know why you want it.
To talk about our mom.
You've been so strange
since she died.
Stop playing with those sticks.
You'll ruin the furniture.
- And you can't pay.
- What's your problem?
I'll pay for them.
Yeah, right.
Make a party out of it.
So we're having a party?
OK, then.
Yeah?
You want a party, let's
have one.
Fat-ass bitch, idiot.
Had to be a woman.
And what are you good for?
- For a lot...
- For fucking nothing!
- You're good for nothing, man.
- Women are such farts.
Such big farts and men still
come after us.
Yeah, to calm down our
sexual desires.
Well, so why don't you
do it with your own hands?
Hit it, come on hit it.
Hit it.
Hey, kids.
Leave the rat alone.
Hey, kids.
It hasn't done anything
to you.
OK, scram. Go now.
I want to see you scram.
Chester! Chester!
Chester must be
with the guys.
Chester is really crazy.
He had this place all messy.
I cleaned up a little bit.
Those posters weren't here
the last time I came.
You know my cousin is
kind of morbid.
There's a couple of those
magazines here.
- Do you want to see them?
- Another day, not now.
- What?
- Not now, another day.
What's up?
They called me
from the curia.
- Yeah?
- Yes.
For a job interview.
To work over there.
- I've been practicing...
- Don't work.
...on the typewriter we have
at home.
- Don't work.
- What are you talking about?
I need to work.
- What?
- I need to work.
That would be better for us.
We can help each other out.
It's been days since I saw
you so beautiful.
This is so great.
The cotton panties.
You're wearing the panties
that I wanted, the ones I like.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
You, as always enjoying
the water, aren't you?
Do you enjoy sex with me
like with the rest?
But you know what?
I think that you, when I make
love to you...
...you're not satisfied,
you need someone else.
Somebody else so you can
finally feel satisfied.
Isn't that true?
I feel you still have
the desire, the urge...
...like you want to...
- You always say the same thing.
Every time we are together
you say the same thing.
You now what,
that's what you need.
- Your cousin, the little brat...
- With my cousin or whomever.
I like a lot of people,
but I love you.
That brat is not able
to make you happy like I do.
Do I have any type
of obligation to him, or what?
You know what, Vilma.
You have to promise me...
I know I'm going to die.
After I die...
...you won't have
a kid with that man.
Why do you have to think
about dying...
...or me fooling around?
- That's how it happens, love.
That's the way life is, love.
Do you think I don't want
to get married to you?
Let her go! She's not yours!
This fag, motherfucker.
Stop the racket, you fag!
- Asshole.
- Come my love.
- Don't go fighting now.
- Motherfucking asshole.
Shit! Those assholes really
took a long time.
The baby is in the car!
Take the car
but give me the baby.
- Stay still.
- No, no.
Take the car
but give me the baby.
Go, go, go.
- Give me the baby.
- Get lost you cunt.
Get lost bitch!
Look man, look a little kid.
Oh shit!
No, man. That's too much heat.
Get rid of him.
Just get rid of him.
That's too much trouble.
Just drop him there.
Watch it! A watchman
let's move it.
That was cool!
[I'm the enemy of Allah.
[AII I do comes out wrong.]
That's so cool!
You know
what pisses me off?
I think they saw your face.
I'm telling you.
No way, nobody saw me.
Do you know what happened?
You told me to get rid
of the kid.
He meant money for
the two of us.
I think they saw you.
When you ditched the kid.
Too bad, man.
I thought that broad
had something valuable here.
- She doesn't have anything?
- Nothing.
- Look at this.
- She was nothing but looks.
What's this? Money?
Look at this. This is cool.
Make up for you.
This is great!
Light it up!
This car drives well.
Don't you think so?
I'm going to roll up
another joint.
So, where are we taking
this thing, man?
To the client, wherelse.
Or wherever we can hide it.
- What's up Cipri?
- What's up?
- Everything's cool?
- Yeah.
Are you playing?
Maybe.
Yeah?
I don't know
if these guys let me.
Will you give me
music lessons?
One of these days.
And to play the big cymball?
Will you teach me?
I'll teach you everything.
For 150 for each class.
Do you play by notes
or how?
No, by ear, but I'll teach
you the notes, 150 per class.
- Hey Mendoza.
- Hi, kid.
- Everything's cool?
- Can't complain.
- Everything's cool?
- Can't complain.
Where are you going?
This night I'm selling
these little figurines.
Come here and have a sip.
How's your cousin?
Can she walk already?
She's walking, man.
You know what?
Hold this.
Take these
3.000 pesos and go to sleep.
Don't go around selling
that shit.
OK, thanks man.
- See you around.
- Good luck.
Gustavo!
Tavo!
OK, then you man.
Mr. Federico had a stroke
and he's ill.
Go find Mr. Hernando...
...ask him for the bus
to take that man.
And you go with him, OK?
- Where?
- Wherever you have to.
Come down now and go.
This is the dog's life, man.
Yeah, and at the end there's
no honor among thieves.
Like this guy's brother.
A brick fell on his head
killing him, and he came back.
- How's that?
- Yeah.
A car crashed in front
of the house.
A bunch of snoops climbed
onto the terrace...
...and my kid brother
was underneath.
The whole thing came
crumbling down...
...and a brick fell
on his head.
- So what happened?
- They were keeping vigil...
...and the SOB
came back to life.
- And that man only told me.
- How's that?
Yeah he only tells those
who believe him.
That he saw himself
from above.
That he saw a lot of things.
Listen at my father. Whenever
he gets on a bus...
...he starts singing.
What an embarrasment.
I learned these excercises
in Bogot?.
That drummer taught them
to me.
Hey Rodrigo.
Did you also learn
these excercises? They're good.
One of these days I'll go
and hear you play.
What are you singing,
Mr. Filiberto?
It's called [Because of You].
- What does that mean?
- You are the cause.
You know a lot of English,
don't you?
Enough to get by.
So what's the meaning of...
This is your house.
Welcome to hell my friend.
- Aunt, aunt.
- What?
- Aunt.
- Adolfo, what happened?
Aren't you supposed
to be camping?
- I couldn't take it.
- What are you doing here?
I was so happy because...
...you weren't here
exposing yourself.
I want to go out with you
for a walk. I was bored.
I'm Ionely. I wanted to go
for a walk with you.
Let's go out,
smoke a joint and eat bread.
At this hour you won't find
any bakery open.
But we can still go
for a walk.
I'm happy doing whatever
makes you happy.
Great, let's go aunt.
I've been Ionely...
But we won't walk
for more than an hour.
Don't worry.
We won't see the dawn.
Put on some shoes,
and we'll go out.
This way.
Look Mr. Hernando.
Walk down straight this way...
...then turn over there.
I think they'll tend to you
quicker here than in the ER.
- Thanks a lot man.
- OK.
- Rodrigo, where are you going?
- I have to do something...
...maybe I'll come back later.
Instead of growing old?
I don't want to grow old.
I don't want to be someone.
I don't want to live the same
live of slavery than the rest.
- Let's smoke the joint here.
- No man.
What do you mean no?
- No man.
- Let's smoke it here.
No, they'll end up
throwing you over there.
You know what?
What's going on with us?
That I don't like...
...the fact
that you went there...
...and in the end...
...you found out what
was going on with my dad.
That you arrived
and found out everything.
And you shouldn't
have gone there.
You're not the one to be
complaining to me.
I had to know what was
going on, and how to solve it.
But you shouldn't have
gone there, aunt.
You know what bothers me?
That you're complaining to me.
Take it easy, aunt. I just want
you to be happy and feel good.
And you do that by
making me mad?
Let's calm down
and smoke a joint.
No. I wont smoke that.
Roll it and smoke it, not me.
Not with the hunger and
laughter attack...
...of the last time.
Forget it.
Imagine that again.
Look, son.
What's going on at Maruja's?
Look!
Hey, Luz Mila.
What's going on at Maruja's?
They found John's body,
they're keeping wake.
Say what?
This is the music that John
liked the most.
That's why we're playing it,
and that's why we won't cry.
You asshole. Thank God
you left you lucky dickhead.
You did all good.
Us poor bastards
are still here, brother.
Mary, are you sad?
Don't you think John might
come back for you?
A friend of mine...
...had a daughter, and her
boyfriend promised her...
...that when he died
he'd come back for her.
And a few days later...
...she was dead
for three hours.
And where was she?
Well of course with him,
don't you agree?
Remember, dead people always
keep their promises.
And what the boyfriend
promises her girlfriend...
...well it's a sure thing.
What are you doing here
so late?
So sorry Mrs. Nohem?...
...to bother you so late.
But I was nearby with some
friends and it became late.
I was wondering if you
could host me tonight...
...my mom told me that
I could always come...
Antonio, look this is Rodrigo,
Lucy's son.
Is he?
You look so much like her.
I bet you're an artist.
- No, no.
- Do you want something to eat?
Just a glass of water, please.
While you speak with Antonio
I'll bring you something.
- She looks like a virgin.
- She was very photogenic.
- Which one is that?
- This picture is awesome.
Well that picture was...
Let me see.
It was taken in Caldas.
Very nice.
Your mom was very young
and pretty. Had many suitors.
My old lady dressed
quite differently...
...not like the girls
of that time.
In those times people dressed
differently, not like now.
She never stopped being
so femenine.
Not a chance.
And her way of being,
she was so nice.
She was one of the friends
I loved the most.
She was such a darling.
Drink up the coke, Rodrigo.
- Why do you have the photos?
- You look kind of worn out.
A little bit, not much.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
My fingers are all
fucked up, man.
That's because I smoked
all that weed this week.
We went over there to do...
- A job?
- Yeah.
But we lost and that guy...
...they shot him...
...and everybody jumped him
and started kicking him.
Watching that, man.
The way it makes you feel.
That has to be the most
difficult fucking thing ever.
What's up man?
Is Adolfo here?
Yeah, his in there.
- Is he?
- Yeah, what's going on?
What's up?
I need your help.
Shit man, I'm worn out.
- What's up?
- I need to talk to you.
You know what?
The cops are looking for me.
- How come? The cops are...
- How come? What happened?
What happened man?
I don't know.
I was going home and I saw
them parked there.
This guy is a real asshole,
man.
Why man, it's not my fault.
- And did they catch you?
- No way, I wouldn't be here.
And you come running
to our hideout?
You're such an idiot!
I guess it has to do
with last night's job.
They found out.
I don't get it, why do you work
with guys who don't know shit?
That's not true.
How could've I known
he was a good for nothing.
This kid is no good.
I'm really fucking fed up
with him.
So, what now?
- Hide me out here.
- Have you gone mad?
For real, man...
What, you're going to be
a giveaway for us too?
Also the owner doesn't let...
You know what, get lost.
OK, cool. Thanks for nothing.
If they saw you get here
they'II get to you...
...and you rat on us
you big mouth.
- I'll go hide somewhere else.
- That's the best you can do.
Yeah, get lost! You ain't
got no business here.
You don't even know us.
- What?
- Yeah get lost!
You got that right...
Get lost, get lost.
- Hide yourself.
- That's what I'll do.
This kid is a real bummer
with so much bad shit, man.
Which floor are you going to?
- To the twentieth floor.
- To see who?
Mrs. Gloria Amparo Alarc?n.
Go ahead.
Where are you going?
To the twentieth floor
to see a lady.
Yes? And what for?
To give her a message.
Adolfo!
- Adolfo!
- Hello.
What's up?
- I saw that guy Caliche.
- What Caliche?
- The dead guy, dickhead.
- That guy is gone.
Sure thing, he was
hanging out...
...over there by [Chandi.
- Yeah?
- Like I'm telling you, dude.
He looked at me
the same way...
...and he smiled
the same way...
...but his nose was different
- That dude was there?
- Sure man. I don't know.
But he stared at me like...
...he wanted to say hi.
I'm sure that it wasn't him,
I'm telling you.
And why should I get lost?
I'm in my own house.
It's your house
but it's also mine...
...so put up with me.
Put up with you?
I can't even put up
with myself.
If it were up to me
I'd be long gone...
...but here I am.
- Yeah, go ahead, get lost.
Put up with me
and I'll put up with you.
Get lost that you're
getting me all horny.
I' not leaving. I came out
for fresh air and I'm staying.
Well, at least go get dressed.
Did you go to John's funeral?
No way, man.
That was a complete bore!
- And you?
- No way.
- To watch people cry?
- Funerals are such a bore.
Yeah, you're right. I don't
like watching sad people.
Everybody crying.
That's a complete bummer.
Everybody so sad,
what a bore.
You know what I don't want
anyone going to my funeral.
You know what?
I want to go down
and stiff someone.
Sure, it's been a long
time since the last scare.
I want to test this one.
It's been days since
I last used it.
Don't you think so?
Do you have yours here?
Yeah?
So, let's go down
don't you think?
[BIood on the shirt.
Lying on the stretcher.
[You won't save yourself.
You won't save yourself.
This thing is awesome, man.
Hey, man look.
- Hey man.
- What's going on?
You know who was
over there?
I saw Ramon, man.
Ramon just went by
over there by the store.
No way, he should be hiding.
Go check it out.
Go on after him.
You know what, Adolfo?
Let's all go.
We're going to make
that fag pay.
That guy is a complete
asshole.
Sure.
- Hey, Ramon.
- What's up, man.
- Didn't I tell you to scram?
- Yeah. I'll leave tomorrow.
- Chill out.
- You are not thinking.
Get lost man, the guys are
coming now.
I leave tomorrow. I've got
all my clothes packed.
Don't worry I leave tomorrow
for Florencia.
Don't get so jumpy man.
Chill out.
- Those guys are coming.

Get a mask and you

Hey, where are you going?
- I'm looking for a bag.
- There's no bag here.
- It's small, green...
- I haven't seen anything.
But it has to be here.
- Please, get out!
- It has to be here.
I used to work here until
last week.
Leave!
I've never seen you here.
Hey, Rodrigo.
- What's up, man?
- What are you doing here?
I was just looking
for a bag, brother.
- Did you find it?
- Nope.
Why haven't you come back?
I was sick, bro.
Oh yeah, with what?
I had head aches,
from here to here.
They didn't let me work,
and besides with the sun...
- Cheer up a little bit.
- It's not about cheering up.
[Money.
[Anguish.
[Money.
[Trouble.
[Money.
[System.
What's up man?
Everything's OK?
- I recognize you.
- Yeah, so what?
You're the drummer of
a punk group, aren't you?
Yeah, why?
Are you interested in
some punk cassettes...
...and some oldies?
I don't like oldies,
they're out.
And I already have
punk cassettes.
Come on, man.
I was a punk, like you.
Wait a second.
Two cigarettes.
Wow, look man.
That bike all alone.
If only I had the gun
to heist it.
Man!
You and I and all of us
are alone.
We must clean up this place.
The place was a real mess.
Look at this man's tools.
- He had nothing.
- Do you see?
Better throw that.
Hey, man. Come and help us.
Why should I?
You ass-kisser!
Ass-kisser?
I'm helping my father.
Your father,
you ass-kisser.
I get as much as you do.
And I don't do anything.
So what man, you're always
so bitter.
Rodrigo, go to the corner
and bring me some aguardiente.
Ah, that's so far away.
No, it's not too far.
Come quick, get me a bottle.
Send me the money.
What do you mean "send me"?
Come and get it.
Give it to me.
[When death arrives...
[... the body goes
to the cemetery, becomes dust.
[But some things prevail...
[... one is personality,
which is pure energy.
[And it's formed during
the first seven years.
What's up?
[There's something important
within Gnosis...
OK, or what?
Come, I've got
to talk to you.
[... what the religious call
the soul.
[Which continues to
the after world...
[... or what our grandparents
refer to as eternity.
[At the moment the deceased
exhales his last breath...
[... he or she projects
an electro psychic image.
[Such image continues to exist
in the outer...
What's up, man?
What's up, babe?
- Are you busy, bro?
- Yeah, I'm going up hill.
- I need to talk to you.
- About what?
I need to talk to you, alone.
See you later?
Sure a minute, bro. OK?
Fine, I'll hang out here.
No, I won't go out with him.
I don't like him, do you?
Well I don't dislike him...
Don't stay out too late.
I won't. I'll go now.
Don't go too crazy tonight.
No way.
I'm going to bed.
Me too.
- See you.
- See you.
We're not going to do
crazy things in the hood.
Let's leave it like that.
Why? Let's go over to...
I never used to go out
with you. I don't trust you.
I'm going to go,
we'll talk another day.
Better yet, let's go out
on the bike.
Wait for me here,
I'll take a bath.
OK, bro.
- Did you like the bar?
- Yeah.
- Sure?
- I had a good time.
One of these days
I'll take you out for pizza.
Who was that chick
outside the bar?
Which one?
The one who kissed you
and was checking you out.
Don't be jealous cause
it makes you look ugly.
I need to buy eye-shadow,
shampoo...
...lipstick and panty hose.
OK, I'll give you money
for everything...
...but I'll get the panty hose
and put it on you.
OK, good.
- OK?
- Yeah, good.
All set.
I have to go.
You didn't invite
me for a cup of coffe.
- OK, come on, let's go in.
- No, I'm only kidding.
My father's inside but I
don't think it matters.
I have to go and get
some money I need, OK?
Call me.
I'll call around 11.30
when I get home.
- I'll wait for your call.
- OK.
Sure?
But if I can't I'll be
thinking of you.
That way we can go to bed
together, right?
OK, honey.
- See you.
- See you.
Take care. OK?
Bye.
Where were you?
At a bar.
At a bar or on a bike?
On the bike and I went
to a bar.
Who was the boy?
I didn't see his face.
My boyfriend,
who else could it be?
- Your boyfriend!
- Yes.
Bring him in
so I can meet him?
I've brought him here
but you're never around.
You only bring him when
I'm not around, don't you?
So, should I stay home
all day like a watch dog?
Around here they don't
let you even go out.
What a nuisance!
Are you staying there
or going to bed?
I'm staying here.
Are you staying there?
Turn down the volume
so I can get some sleep.
OK.
See you.
Let's start here.
There's a bunch of fat cats.
Let's shake them down
and then we can hang out.
We can go grab some food.
Hey, look at that!
Let's get that fat cat.
Ain't that swell!
Fast, don't let him
get away. Go get him.
Get off, you fag.
Cut him off!
Cut him off!
OK, mother fucker.
Turn around.
Look the other way you fag.
Are you going to make
me kill you?
Don't move motherfucker
or I'll pop you!
Get lost you fag
or I'll pop you!
Look out for him!
Be careful, don't let him move.
Rodrigo.
Rodrigo.
What's up?
What are you doing
up there?
I ain't doing nothing.
You got to be
doing something!
You don't let anyone sleep.
Look at the time.
You've got some
water boiling on the stove.
I'll be down soon
to turn it off.
How soon?
Do it now!
Your brother has to get up
early to go to school.
Is it about your mother?
Does it have to be that?
Well, it has to be something.
Come, get some sleep.
I haven't slept all night.
Yeah, I'll go soon.
Do it now. And don't give me
any trouble.
[I already called him!
[I already called him!
Why did you tear
some pages of my notebook?
I didn't tear anything.
And you made drawings, see!
So what.
The pages on this side
are falling.
It's no big deal.
You think that what's written
there is so interesting?
Don't you go busting
my chops over three pages.
You think you're so smart
but you're a nobody.
You didn't even finish
junior school!
And you know so much,
don't you?
You brat!
Go pay the money we owe
in school...
...so they don't kick
the kid out.
But that's so far away.
Then who will go?
You go.
I'll go later.
And you hurry up
or you'll miss class.
Can't you see I'm moping?
How should I know
you were mopping?
- You never know anything.
- Am I supposed to know?
- Why don't you do something?
- Do something?
Yeah, start doing something.
Don't waste more time.
- What? You cheap bitch.
- Bitch? No way.
Do something.
Stop loosing time.
- Stop fucking around!
- And why?
Get out! Leave!
Leave? This house is ours.
That's what mom said.
This house belongs
to those who works.
To those who work?
- Turn it off.
- I'll do what ever I want.
This house belongs
to those who work.
- Get out! Get out!
- You bitch!
You low live, punk ass!
Get the fuck out asshole!
Do something, lazy ass.
Avocados, avocados.
- What's up?
- I'm helping my old lady.
Who's listening music?
Ramon's upstairs
listening to some music.
Will you let me listen
to some cassettes?
Sure, I'll also go up.
What's up?
Fuck, the trowel fell
downstairs.
- What are you playing?
- Sex Pistols.
Cool, man.
Monra, help me finish this.
You're not paying me but

Hey Ramon,
Get down, come on.
So everything OK?
What are you doing?
I'm doing a job for my mom.
Got time to go up
to the hills?
Good bye. I'll come later
and help.
Come on, let's go
get together.
Hey, where are you going?
I can't go.
I have to finish here.
- OK, good luck.
- See you around.
- Talk to you later.
- OK, see you.
I told you, that guy's busting
my chops for the bike.
- How much is it, bro?
- 45 grand.
- So where should we take it?
- To Envigado, brother.
OK, we'll be over any time
to take the bike.
- I'll go with "the cat" and...
- Aren't the three of us going?
No way. Which three, man?
[Money.
[Problems.
[Money.
[System.
Hey, give me a soda.
- What are you having?
- A beer.
Make it an apple soda.
Let's go up to the hills.
No, I'm not going up there.
Will you stay here
doing nothing?
Yeah, I'll stay here doing
nothing.
Besides I have to pay
at my brother's school.
- What happened, bro?
- They busted me, bro.
But what happened?
I had too...
I even lost the gun.
How did you lose the gun?
I wasn't going to get
myself killed.
But what happened, asshole?
Nothing, I was with Nandit.
And a guy got a hold of him,
and he escaped from me...
...and the cops were behind,
And they shot him. So I shot...
The pigs? Did you get
in a shootout with them?
Sure. I emptied my gun.
I think I even got
one of them.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- You shot a pig?
- Yes, and...
And you're here
like nothing happened?
So man, everything's cool?
- Where's Adolfo.
- He's over there.
- What's up dude?
- Everything's cool.
You can't stay here.
You have to leave.
Sure, I'll leave ASAP.
Watch out. Don't tell
anyone where you're going.
No, no one.
Keep in touch, so you know
how things are.
- Be careful you scum.
- Don't worry.
What a bummer.
- Where are you going man?
- Up to the hills.
Cool.
Let's go together.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Just a minute.
What about our deal?
Nothing.
The man wasn't there.
Bullshit, you're
just pulling my leg.
I've got you checked out.
- Where are you going?
- Up to the hills, with him.
To the hills? No way.
You want to go there,
go on your own.
- Not on this bike, asshole.
- OK, cool man.
Take this back.
Take it to Charlie.
Let's go.
I'm bored to my bones.
Buy me a beer, man.
Buy me a beer, man.
- I have no money.
- This money then?
It's to pay
for my brother's school.
- Don't be so jumpy.
- You don't have to touch me.
- What school is he in?
- Mary.
Let me take the last slug.
You know what. I'll go with you
and I won't be so bored.
- Federico?
- What's up?
I'm Rodrigo.
Mrs. Lucy's son.
Oh, Hi.
You used to work
with my mom before.
Don't you know anyone selling
a cheap set of drums?
It's been a long time
since I left that.
Now I only know piano
and violin players.
I no longer know anything
about that.
One of these days
will talk.
I haven't slept
and I have a hangover.
If you want we can talk
one of these nights.
- Sure.
- OK.
But let me know if
you here of any.
Sure.
I know someone who has
a set of drums.
- Who?
- A guy Olimpo, in Toscana.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
How much does he want?
I don't know. He's got
some great cans...
...and some crazy cymbals!
You know, bro,
those drums are OK.
The charles is in good shape.
The set of drums is OK.
In the end I don't know.
Maybe I'll make them myself...
...with some cowhide.
We'll see.
Hey kid...
...come here!
- Who gave you that watch?
- My old lady.
- Let me see it, man.
- No, mom gave it to me.
I recognize that watch.
It has a mark on the back.
No I got it because
I got promoted in school.
Promoted?
I don't care about that.
No phony stories.
Phony stories?
What, are you going to
bully me around?
- Come on, let me check it.
- No way.
But that watch is...
OK, I'll see you around.
Hey, where are you going?
What do you mean
where am I going?
- Let's walk together.
- Why, man?
What do you mean why?
You made me wait too long.
I already missed class.
- I've got the money, let's go.
- No, I already missed a class...
- I've got the money, let's go.
- No, I already missed a class...
That was some watch we
saw up there, wasn't it?
Hold on, let me solve
this problem.
Those windows
are still broken?
I used to study here.
I broke them.
I don't believe...
Is that teacher Julieta
still here?
- She still fucks with everyone.
- She's real slut.
You bet.
She did it with my classmate.
Man, this door is always
locked.
You know what, see you.
I'm going to go check
on some friends.
Give me a mango, man.
Hey kid.
Hey kid, come here.
What's up?
Have you seen
Richard and Jerry?
No, bro.
- Sure you haven't seen them?
- No, bro.
- You haven't seen them?
- Nope.
I think I saw them...
...I saw them up there.
But I'm not so sure...
I run past by.
- Go on and look for them.
- Sure, don't worry.
- What's up?
- What's up, bro?
Look, here's the money,
if you have more give me some.
Sure.
Take these six, asshole.
- But careful!
- Sure.
- Where's that other dickhead?
- There he is, look.
So, what's up?
How did it go?
No man, I started giving
credit...
...and they stood me up.
They told me
maybe tonight or...
Are you stupid or what?
You told me you'd pay today.
But what can I do
if the y stood me up?
You didn't come through.
This is the second time.
Nice going.
- Look, there it goes.
- Look at it.
You go up, you fag.
Come on, look at it.
Hurry up.
Hurry up, hurry asshole.
You go that way,
I think it went this way.
Hurry up.
Hit it, hit it.
[What happened,
did it kill her?
[Did it kill her?
[Who was that girl?
[Nobody knows her.
[Nobody knows her.
Is Olympo here?
No, he's not here.
Do you know here he is?
He went out camping,
gone to the caverns.
Is he selling a set of drums,
or not?
Well yes he has one,
but not here.
I'm trying to start
a punk group.
Well if he sells it, he'll
do it to a heavy metal group.
You know punkers are a bunch
of good for nothings.
I don't think he'll sell that.
You know what? I've got
to check out cartoons.
OK, go on.
OK, good luck.
Hi, what's up?
- Are you alone?
- Sure, come in.
- Here's what you asked for.
- Thanks.
How did it go yesterday?
Quite good, yeah real good.
Who did you talk to?
Tell me about your job.
There's no job,
I just got the money.
But with who? Why don't you
tell me about your job?
Why do you have to know?
You know I hate it when
you ask me about those things.
Don't you?
Can't you tell me
what is it that you did?
No, no, you don't need
to know. OK?
I don't want you
asking about that.
OK?
OK, if you want that,
I'll never bring it up again.
What's up, bro?
They took John out
from his house.
- How come?
- In a jeep with no plates.
They took him away
this afternoon, what a bummer.
He's a real dick-head, I told
him yesterday to lay low.
- But he's so stubborn.
- And he killed a cop.
Sweet Jesus, for sure he's
as good as dead by now.
What a bummer. You know what,
let's go inside.
Sure, let's do that.
Aunt!
Aunt!
- Hello son, what's up?
- Hello, how are you?
- Weren't you with Adolfo?
- Sure, he's in the room.
Tell me what's going on?
What happened?
They took John out
from his house.
- They took him away.
- How's that?
They took him away in a jeep
with no plates.
Do you see what happens?
The poor family must
be shattered.
You know aunt, this is too
hot for me.
I'd better go away, camping.
This is so rough.
No man, that's too much
suffering for a poor mom.
You never think about us.
Any time they're going
to do that to you.
Don't you say that,
don't jinx me.
You know I don't like nobody
telling me that.
I really don't like that.
That's why I'm telling you.
It's for your own good.
You know what?
Let's just forget about that.
No.
Hello.
Hello.
Don't smoke that here!
Nobody comes up here.
The old man might.
No, he's busy downstairs
with his own things.
That thing really makes
feel stupid.
Not me.
Tell you what, let's go
downstairs, smoke it there.
- Sure OK.
- OK?
Sure.
- Hello Tavo.
- Hi dad.
- Hi Dorita.
- Mr. Marco Tulio.
I bought some meat but I don't
think it'll fit in my ice box.
Could I use your refrigerator
to put it inside.
Sure, it's all yours.
- No problem?
- Not at all.
If my new fridge arrives
I won't have to bother you.
OK sir.
- I'm going out for a walk.
- Thanks a lot son.
Look at the blondie.
Come on, take a look man!
Which blondie?
Look at him, the one
with the blue shirt.
Yeah, I've seen him.
In a year he'll
be up to no good.
Sure.
Cops are more afraid of kids
cause they're so agressive.
Yeah, we just get them
and shoot them immediately.
And they fall with
the first one.
But when they catch you...
...they'll torture you
do whatever they want.
A little kid will never
go yellow on you...
...but those fags...
...they all get yellow...
...unless they're a big bunch.
Sure.
Look, there's Orion.
- Where?
- There with the three stars.
- That's so cool.
- The legs, shoulders and head.
Orion, mighty warrior with
all his strength.
That's a beauty, isn't it?
- That should be ours man.
- Look, he's leaving.
- Really?
- Yeah look.
You know what, we must
jump on him when he leaves.
But what time is it?
I don't know man.
Old man, what time is it?
- It's almost eleven.
- OK, man. Thanks.
You're welcome.
How are we going
to pull it off?
Don't worry, tomorrow
I'll ask Adolfo for his gun.
But I have to give it
to you...
...because with this outfit
I'm too flashy.
Why don't we steal
Adolfo's gun?
We can always say that
the cops took it.
You know what you're
a real slime bucket.
I get along with him
just fine. He's my buddy.
Don't be so itchy.
Did you think we really
were going to cross him?
You're a real scum bag,
you can't be trusted.
Yeah, sure. Roll that joint
and let's get stoned.
- Sure man.
- There's nothing more to it.
Sure.
[The wires in your head,
the straitjacket on...
[... none of that will save you.
[They won't save you because
I'm going to kill you.
- Can't you sleep?
- Nope.
- Would you like warm milk?
- No.
How about herbal tea?
Nope.
This late
they upset my stomach.
I haven't been able
to sleep either.
Oh man! My uncle
is really noisy.
When is he going to leave?
Nobody can sleep with him here.
Come here my love.
Put your legs down, honey.
- Cesar, what's up?
- Hey, hi.
- Do you work here?
- Yeah, I've been here a while.
Make me some drumsticks.
Do you already have
the drum set?
No, but I need
the drum sticks.
You know what, they'll cost
400 pesos.
- Are you crazy?
- Crazy? Why, man?
- I'll give you 200 pesos.
- No way, man.
To tell you the truth, I'm just
a workshop assistant.
So who do I talk to?
Let's see, you should
talk with that guy.
Talk to that guy over there.
Me, I don't get involved
in those things. I just work.
I just wanted
to make some extra bucks.
But he'll charge
you the same amount.
OK, cool.
[Money.
[Problems.
[Money.
[System.
Hold it Javier.
- So what's up?
- Everything's cool?
So you got the drum sticks.
That's cool.
- Where did you get them?
- In a carpenter's shop.
They're awesome.
This dude is going to get
himself a drum set.
- Ain't that true?
- We'll see about that.
Sure. Hey, we're heading
for the hills.
- Where?
- To the hills.
Sure thing.
I'm bummed out with John's
disappearance. Did you know?
- He disappeared?
- Yeah.
- What happened to him?
- He was taken away.
Taken away?
Right.
They came in a jeep for him.
Are you coming? And I'll go
for my bike that's nearby.
So we all go,
you can ride with him.
- Wait here.
- All right, I'll wait here.
Cool. The drum sticks
are awesome, bro.
[How can...
[... I calm myself?
[I reject all.
[I no longer...
[... get any...
[... satisfaction.
[... satisfaction.
[... satisfaction.
[... satisfaction.
[Not even with drugs...
[... nor alcohol.
OK, fag turn around
and I'll toss the coin.
Turn around.
So, you're not obeying.
OK, turn around.
There it goes.
- What's up?
- What's up?
- What's up kid?
- Everything's cool.
- Look out after my bike.
- Sure thing.
Look at that, a punker
going swiming with a jacket.
Going swiming?
Have you gone nuts?
I'm not going swiming there.
Not a chance.
If I do I'll do it
butt-naked. Sure thing.
Not using those fag
swimsuits.
- They look like your sister's.
- No way, they're your sister's.
She already became a hooker
giving her pussy all around.
Fag.
Watch it!
Pictures are a total giveaway.
Yeah dude, a picture is
a total giveaway. For sure.
If they catch you, because it
can always happen...
...it's a total giveaway.
And in the end a picture
is only a memory.
What's the use of that?
Stop horsing around, dude.
You're a real pain, you'll get
into trouble for been a pain.
And for been so childish.
You know what, this guy
has a luck, this size.
You haven't been killed yet
because you're fucking lucky.
Because you're
a real nuisance.
- You know what kid?
- Don't pull my hair.
If you shoot to the head...
...aim a block down.
You should aim to the chest.
So you'll hit the head.
Listen to this asshole.
A block?
How many blocks
do you have?
He has a complete avenue.
Anybody can make mistakes.
And people shouldn't butt in.
OK, that's cool.
Stop bugging me man! That's
why you'll get into trouble.
For being such a pain.
In the end I cut the head
out of all my pictures.
I've eliminated all of them.
In the end they're nothing
more than giveaways.
Yeah right, in the end
pictures are no good, dude.
Anybody can rat on you
and they'll point you out.
- You're right.
- They're no good.
- But you know what man?
- Nothing like weed, dude.
Sure. But you know what?
Specially nowadays.
You're always looking
over your shoulder.
And with December being
so near.
You know, in December
you start missing your friends.
You know, I've also
been thinking.
I'm going punk all the way
and chill out on the stealing.
- Not a chance.
- I'll stay home, lay low.
The All Souls Day is about
to come and you may end up...
...being a soul.
That's why I'm telling you,
you just be a punk...
...and lay low in your house.
- Sure thing.
And on December 31st you
can end up being...
...the doll they burn.
In the end it's better
to lay low in the house.
Those days, everybody's
trying to knock you down.
Because the noise of
fireworks help cover up.
Thanks.
So you SOB,
everything's cool?
What's up? Are you hanging
out here amidst the trees?
- What's up, dude?
- Everything's cool.
Those sticks are for what?
Are they for masturbating?
- Sure. To play the drums.
- Are you a drummer?
That's cool.
Hey, look out! These two
are going to kill themselves.
OK, dude,
come and get it.
OK, dude,
come and get it.
Look at him,
he fights like a fag.
Come on, leave me alone.
Let's start again.
"Let's start again". As if you
could do that in a real fight.
He's already been stabbed
four times, see that Adolfo?
Come on, let me show you
how to fight with a blade.
Piss off.
Draw a line here, Edgar.
Piss off, you ain't got
nothing to teach us.
Stop the racket,
you crazy little fag.
The fag spoke.
Don't fall asleep on me!
Stick it up his neck, man.
Give me the joint, dude.
These two fags
are going to kill themselves.
Quick, no this guy
is a real dick-head.
He could've sticked it in him.
The kid doesn't know
how to jump.
Stab him now.
Yeah, he's dead. A goner.
He has had my bass for
a long time.
- Why don't you ask for it?
- I haven't seen the asshole.
That fag has had my bass
for two months now.
- Punk ass kid.
- Shut up, bastard!
- What are you doing here?
- Listening to them, and you?
I came here to see if they
let me play the drums a bit.
And those chicks?
What are they doing here?
They are a couple of
head bangers that want to...
...play vocals with the band.
First, this part.
Then the chorus.
Then that, and the chorus.
And that's it.
Yeah that's the whole thing.
- Quick or slow?
- Quick, as fast as you can.
- OK.
- Let's try out, OK?
No man, I think not.
Now I'm into other things,
I'm into classical music.
- That's hard.
- Yeah.
But we can jam together
a little bit afterwards.
If you invite me, sure.
- They'll let us jam a bit.
- OK, good.
One, two three.
Your turn. Once more.
OK, ready.
Go on, stop bitching.
Go ahead.
- Now?
- Yeah.
- No, no, no!
- What's the problem?
- No, no, no!
- What's the problem?
What do you want?
You have to put more
into it, it's so weak.
- No, that's no good.
- No, no, no!
But we're vocalizing like
if it were Heavy Metal.
- No, fuck off.
- You, fuck off!
If you want to play, go ahead...
...I can't play with
those sorry ass bitches...
You're the sorry ass bitch.
- Stop bitching, you sorry ass...
- If you argue say something...
Hey, Omar.
You junk yard heavy metal
bitch.
- Come on, don't you hit me.
- Junk yard?
What are you laughing about.
You're the junk yard asshole.
I'm not so concerned about
that, just about us.
I'm always very nervous...
...not knowing where you are,
who are you with...
...what's happened to you.
Are you OK?
I must tell you something.
What's up, babe?
Everything's OK?
Good.
I must tell you something.
- OK, so what's going on?
- What's up?
There's some strange people
looking for you, dude.
How's that?
Some guys posing as members
of the utility companies.
But I smell something cooking,
You'd better get lost.
Be aware.
Yeah. Some very strange guys.
Good luck, man.
OK thanks, see you.
I'll go hide myself.
Good luck, bro.
Take care.
Bye bye.
What happened?
Do you see?
Hey, Adolfo! Come down
for a sec, man.
- No, you come up.
- OK.
What's up man?
What a fucking situation!
Why's that?
Some guys were looking
for me, man.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, man.
That sucks.
I don't know. Some kids told me
that they were looking for me.
- What do you need?
- Well man I need the gun.
There's this bike.
We saw a bike with Ramon.
I need the gun.
But you know I don't
like that Ramon.
No, don't worry about that
I'm keeping my eyes open...
...but I really need to do
this because I'm low on cash.
I need the cash.
OK, dude. I'll lend it
but to you, not him.
- OK, don't worry.
- Not to that Judas.
Dont worry, everything's cool.
- Wait for me here.
- Sure thing.
- What's up man?
- Hello, dude.
- Haven't you seen Alarcon?
- No, man.
I need him.
You know what time is it?
- It's around 9:00.
- OK, man. Thanks.
- See you around.
- See you, dude.
Hey fag, are you
going to take it or what?
I ain't taking nothing.
Then why are you coming
around here so much?
I'm looking for an address,
my cousin lives here.
Yeah right.
Get lost you fag!
Do you think I'm going
to steal your bike?
Get lost, go on!
Hey Edgar!
- What's up?
- Have you seen Ramon?
- No man.
- No?
No man. I haven't seen
that dude.
I saw him here a while ago.
- Yes?
- Yeah, dude.
- A long time ago?
- Yeah, a while ago.
- Hello, son?
- Hi, dad.
How's everything? Have you
seen Tavo around?
- No I haven't seen him.
- Do you know where he is?
The meat store business
is looking good.
Today, I got
a nice lot of meat.
Do you remember your mother's
cousin house in Guarne.
It sure will do you some
good to go there for a while.
That way you can get
your thoughts cleared.
I'm not sick.
I'm not saying that,
but you have to rest...
...everybody does.
Wait and see you'll
get better.
- Do you want a drink?
- No I don't want.
- Go ahead.
- No, what for?
Whatever.
Take it easy.
In life everything goes away.
- Where could I find Tavo?
- No idea.
If you see him, tell him
I need to talk with him.
Don't forget.
- You know what?
- Good luck, man.
I can't go and do that job.
Look for some one else.
OK, I'll look for
someone else.
OK, good luck. Take care.
Good luck, man.
- What's up Fabio?
- Hi, Adolfo. Everything's OK?
- What's up?
- I'm in deep trouble.
How's that?
- Some guys are looking for me.
- No kidding.
Sure, man.
Some guys in a car with
public utilities signs.
And some guys in a bike.
- What did you do this time?
- Nothing.
You know I make a living
here and there.
I was wondering if you could
let me crash here.
Go ahead, come in.
Come in kid.
Hello Alicita.
Hello.
- Hello Felipe, what's up?
- What's up, dude?
- What's up, Victor?
- What's up, dude?
- What's going on?
- Everything's cool.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm just hiding out.
OK, that's cool man.
You're better off here
than in your own house...
...you sit at the table
and all they do is complain.
You try to eat fast
and your sister keeps guard.
Sure, this place is
much better.
It's in a high place
and nobody comes up here.
But this little patio
is not very safe.
There's no place to hide.
You have to scram downhill.
[There's a dead guy here.
[Who knows who was it?
Hey kids, what's going on
over there?
They found a dead guy
in the brook.
Bummer.
You know what?
I finally got her in bed.
She's a real slut, isn't she?
- What's up dude?
- Everything's good?
Listen up man.
What went on with our deal?
Didn't I tell you to drop
by at eleven?
Don't you give me that crap.
I was there at eleven...
...and you weren't around.
You see? That's why things
don't work out, dude.
OK, but you know what?
We're here for a reason.
Let's not kid ourselves.
You think we're stupid.
OK. Tell you what.
We have a job.
- What's the deal?
- A Mazda.
The car already has a buyer.
- Can you hide it?
- It pays 500.000 pesos. Yes.
Everything is planned.
You'll go on a bus,
with the guns.
I'll go over with this guy
on the bike.
OK, we're on.
We'll meet on 33rd street,
by the bridge.
Keep the details.
Hey, two beers.
Cold!
[Money.
[Anguish.
[Money.
Who's driving the car?
I'll do it.
Not a chance.
Hold your horses.
- I'm driving it.
- Yeah his driving the car.
OK, he drives the car
no problem.
- Sure.
- Sure.
Do you have
Mrs. Nohemi's number?
Why are you going to bother
over there?
What's it to you?
Mind your own business.
I know why you want it.
To talk about our mom.
You've been so strange
since she died.
Stop playing with those sticks.
You'll ruin the furniture.
- And you can't pay.
- What's your problem?
I'll pay for them.
Yeah, right.
Make a party out of it.
So we're having a party?
OK, then.
Yeah?
You want a party, let's
have one.
Fat-ass bitch, idiot.
Had to be a woman.
And what are you good for?
- For a lot...
- For fucking nothing!
- You're good for nothing, man.
- Women are such farts.
Such big farts and men still
come after us.
Yeah, to calm down our
sexual desires.
Well, so why don't you
do it with your own hands?
Hit it, come on hit it.
Hit it.
Hey, kids.
Leave the rat alone.
Hey, kids.
It hasn't done anything
to you.
OK, scram. Go now.
I want to see you scram.
Chester! Chester!
Chester must be
with the guys.
Chester is really crazy.
He had this place all messy.
I cleaned up a little bit.
Those posters weren't here
the last time I came.
You know my cousin is
kind of morbid.
There's a couple of those
magazines here.
- Do you want to see them?
- Another day, not now.
- What?
- Not now, another day.
What's up?
They called me
from the curia.
- Yeah?
- Yes.
For a job interview.
To work over there.
- I've been practicing...
- Don't work.
...on the typewriter we have
at home.
- Don't work.
- What are you talking about?
I need to work.
- What?
- I need to work.
That would be better for us.
We can help each other out.
It's been days since I saw
you so beautiful.
This is so great.
The cotton panties.
You're wearing the panties
that I wanted, the ones I like.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
You, as always enjoying
the water, aren't you?
Do you enjoy sex with me
like with the rest?
But you know what?
I think that you, when I make
love to you...
...you're not satisfied,
you need someone else.
Somebody else so you can
finally feel satisfied.
Isn't that true?
I feel you still have
the desire, the urge...
...like you want to...
- You always say the same thing.
Every time we are together
you say the same thing.
You now what,
that's what you need.
- Your cousin, the little brat...
- With my cousin or whomever.
I like a lot of people,
but I love you.
That brat is not able
to make you happy like I do.
Do I have any type
of obligation to him, or what?
You know what, Vilma.
You have to promise me...
I know I'm going to die.
After I die...
...you won't have
a kid with that man.
Why do you have to think
about dying...
...or me fooling around?
- That's how it happens, love.
That's the way life is, love.
Do you think I don't want
to get married to you?
Let her go! She's not yours!
This fag, motherfucker.
Stop the racket, you fag!
- Asshole.
- Come my love.
- Don't go fighting now.
- Motherfucking asshole.
Shit! Those assholes really
took a long time.
The baby is in the car!
Take the car
but give me the baby.
- Stay still.
- No, no.
Take the car
but give me the baby.
Go, go, go.
- Give me the baby.
- Get lost you cunt.
Get lost bitch!
Look man, look a little kid.
Oh shit!
No, man. That's too much heat.
Get rid of him.
Just get rid of him.
That's too much trouble.
Just drop him there.
Watch it! A watchman
let's move it.
That was cool!
[I'm the enemy of Allah.
[AII I do comes out wrong.]
That's so cool!
You know
what pisses me off?
I think they saw your face.
I'm telling you.
No way, nobody saw me.
Do you know what happened?
You told me to get rid
of the kid.
He meant money for
the two of us.
I think they saw you.
When you ditched the kid.
Too bad, man.
I thought that broad
had something valuable here.
- She doesn't have anything?
- Nothing.
- Look at this.
- She was nothing but looks.
What's this? Money?
Look at this. This is cool.
Make up for you.
This is great!
Light it up!
This car drives well.
Don't you think so?
I'm going to roll up
another joint.
So, where are we taking
this thing, man?
To the client, wherelse.
Or wherever we can hide it.
- What's up Cipri?
- What's up?
- Everything's cool?
- Yeah.
Are you playing?
Maybe.
Yeah?
I don't know
if these guys let me.
Will you give me
music lessons?
One of these days.
And to play the big cymball?
Will you teach me?
I'll teach you everything.
For 150 for each class.
Do you play by notes
or how?
No, by ear, but I'll teach
you the notes, 150 per class.
- Hey Mendoza.
- Hi, kid.
- Everything's cool?
- Can't complain.
- Everything's cool?
- Can't complain.
Where are you going?
This night I'm selling
these little figurines.
Come here and have a sip.
How's your cousin?
Can she walk already?
She's walking, man.
You know what?
Hold this.
Take these
3.000 pesos and go to sleep.
Don't go around selling
that shit.
OK, thanks man.
- See you around.
- Good luck.
Gustavo!
Tavo!
OK, then you man.
Mr. Federico had a stroke
and he's ill.
Go find Mr. Hernando...
...ask him for the bus
to take that man.
And you go with him, OK?
- Where?
- Wherever you have to.
Come down now and go.
This is the dog's life, man.
Yeah, and at the end there's
no honor among thieves.
Like this guy's brother.
A brick fell on his head
killing him, and he came back.
- How's that?
- Yeah.
A car crashed in front
of the house.
A bunch of snoops climbed
onto the terrace...
...and my kid brother
was underneath.
The whole thing came
crumbling down...
...and a brick fell
on his head.
- So what happened?
- They were keeping vigil...
...and the SOB
came back to life.
- And that man only told me.
- How's that?
Yeah he only tells those
who believe him.
That he saw himself
from above.
That he saw a lot of things.
Listen at my father. Whenever
he gets on a bus...
...he starts singing.
What an embarrasment.
I learned these excercises
in Bogot?.
That drummer taught them
to me.
Hey Rodrigo.
Did you also learn
these excercises? They're good.
One of these days I'll go
and hear you play.
What are you singing,
Mr. Filiberto?
It's called [Because of You].
- What does that mean?
- You are the cause.
You know a lot of English,
don't you?
Enough to get by.
So what's the meaning of...
This is your house.
Welcome to hell my friend.
- Aunt, aunt.
- What?
- Aunt.
- Adolfo, what happened?
Aren't you supposed
to be camping?
- I couldn't take it.
- What are you doing here?
I was so happy because...
...you weren't here
exposing yourself.
I want to go out with you
for a walk. I was bored.
I'm Ionely. I wanted to go
for a walk with you.
Let's go out,
smoke a joint and eat bread.
At this hour you won't find
any bakery open.
But we can still go
for a walk.
I'm happy doing whatever
makes you happy.
Great, let's go aunt.
I've been Ionely...
But we won't walk
for more than an hour.
Don't worry.
We won't see the dawn.
Put on some shoes,
and we'll go out.
This way.
Look Mr. Hernando.
Walk down straight this way...
...then turn over there.
I think they'll tend to you
quicker here than in the ER.
- Thanks a lot man.
- OK.
- Rodrigo, where are you going?
- I have to do something...
...maybe I'll come back later.
Instead of growing old?
I don't want to grow old.
I don't want to be someone.
I don't want to live the same
live of slavery than the rest.
- Let's smoke the joint here.
- No man.
What do you mean no?
- No man.
- Let's smoke it here.
No, they'll end up
throwing you over there.
You know what?
What's going on with us?
That I don't like...
...the fact
that you went there...
...and in the end...
...you found out what
was going on with my dad.
That you arrived
and found out everything.
And you shouldn't
have gone there.
You're not the one to be
complaining to me.
I had to know what was
going on, and how to solve it.
But you shouldn't have
gone there, aunt.
You know what bothers me?
That you're complaining to me.
Take it easy, aunt. I just want
you to be happy and feel good.
And you do that by
making me mad?
Let's calm down
and smoke a joint.
No. I wont smoke that.
Roll it and smoke it, not me.
Not with the hunger and
laughter attack...
...of the last time.
Forget it.
Imagine that again.
Look, son.
What's going on at Maruja's?
Look!
Hey, Luz Mila.
What's going on at Maruja's?
They found John's body,
they're keeping wake.
Say what?
This is the music that John
liked the most.
That's why we're playing it,
and that's why we won't cry.
You asshole. Thank God
you left you lucky dickhead.
You did all good.
Us poor bastards
are still here, brother.
Mary, are you sad?
Don't you think John might
come back for you?
A friend of mine...
...had a daughter, and her
boyfriend promised her...
...that when he died
he'd come back for her.
And a few days later...
...she was dead
for three hours.
And where was she?
Well of course with him,
don't you agree?
Remember, dead people always
keep their promises.
And what the boyfriend
promises her girlfriend...
...well it's a sure thing.
What are you doing here
so late?
So sorry Mrs. Nohem?...
...to bother you so late.
But I was nearby with some
friends and it became late.
I was wondering if you
could host me tonight...
...my mom told me that
I could always come...
Antonio, look this is Rodrigo,
Lucy's son.
Is he?
You look so much like her.
I bet you're an artist.
- No, no.
- Do you want something to eat?
Just a glass of water, please.
While you speak with Antonio
I'll bring you something.
- She looks like a virgin.
- She was very photogenic.
- Which one is that?
- This picture is awesome.
Well that picture was...
Let me see.
It was taken in Caldas.
Very nice.
Your mom was very young
and pretty. Had many suitors.
My old lady dressed
quite differently...
...not like the girls
of that time.
In those times people dressed
differently, not like now.
She never stopped being
so femenine.
Not a chance.
And her way of being,
she was so nice.
She was one of the friends
I loved the most.
She was such a darling.
Drink up the coke, Rodrigo.
- Why do you have the photos?
- You look kind of worn out.
A little bit, not much.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
My fingers are all
fucked up, man.
That's because I smoked
all that weed this week.
We went over there to do...
- A job?
- Yeah.
But we lost and that guy...
...they shot him...
...and everybody jumped him
and started kicking him.
Watching that, man.
The way it makes you feel.
That has to be the most
difficult fucking thing ever.
What's up man?
Is Adolfo here?
Yeah, his in there.
- Is he?
- Yeah, what's going on?
What's up?
I need your help.
Shit man, I'm worn out.
- What's up?
- I need to talk to you.
You know what?
The cops are looking for me.
- How come? The cops are...
- How come? What happened?
What happened man?
I don't know.
I was going home and I saw
them parked there.
This guy is a real asshole,
man.
Why man, it's not my fault.
- And did they catch you?
- No way, I wouldn't be here.
And you come running
to our hideout?
You're such an idiot!
I guess it has to do
with last night's job.
They found out.
I don't get it, why do you work
with guys who don't know shit?
That's not true.
How could've I known
he was a good for nothing.
This kid is no good.
I'm really fucking fed up
with him.
So, what now?
- Hide me out here.
- Have you gone mad?
For real, man...
What, you're going to be
a giveaway for us too?
Also the owner doesn't let...
You know what, get lost.
OK, cool. Thanks for nothing.
If they saw you get here
they'II get to you...
...and you rat on us
you big mouth.
- I'll go hide somewhere else.
- That's the best you can do.
Yeah, get lost! You ain't
got no business here.
You don't even know us.
- What?
- Yeah get lost!
You got that right...
Get lost, get lost.
- Hide yourself.
- That's what I'll do.
This kid is a real bummer
with so much bad shit, man.
Which floor are you going to?
- To the twentieth floor.
- To see who?
Mrs. Gloria Amparo Alarc?n.
Go ahead.
Where are you going?
To the twentieth floor
to see a lady.
Yes? And what for?
To give her a message.
Adolfo!
- Adolfo!
- Hello.
What's up?
- I saw that guy Caliche.
- What Caliche?
- The dead guy, dickhead.
- That guy is gone.
Sure thing, he was
hanging out...
...over there by [Chandi.
- Yeah?
- Like I'm telling you, dude.
He looked at me
the same way...
...and he smiled
the same way...
...but his nose was different
- That dude was there?
- Sure man. I don't know.
But he stared at me like...
...he wanted to say hi.
I'm sure that it wasn't him,
I'm telling you.
And why should I get lost?
I'm in my own house.
It's your house
but it's also mine...
...so put up with me.
Put up with you?
I can't even put up
with myself.
If it were up to me
I'd be long gone...
...but here I am.
- Yeah, go ahead, get lost.
Put up with me
and I'll put up with you.
Get lost that you're
getting me all horny.
I' not leaving. I came out
for fresh air and I'm staying.
Well, at least go get dressed.
Did you go to John's funeral?
No way, man.
That was a complete bore!
- And you?
- No way.
- To watch people cry?
- Funerals are such a bore.
Yeah, you're right. I don't
like watching sad people.
Everybody crying.
That's a complete bummer.
Everybody so sad,
what a bore.
You know what I don't want
anyone going to my funeral.
You know what?
I want to go down
and stiff someone.
Sure, it's been a long
time since the last scare.
I want to test this one.
It's been days since
I last used it.
Don't you think so?
Do you have yours here?
Yeah?
So, let's go down

You know who was
over there?
I saw Ramon, man.
Ramon just went by
over there by the store.
No way, he should be hiding.
Go check it out.
Go on after him.
You know what, Adolfo?
Let's all go.
We're going to make
that fag pay.
That guy is a complete
asshole.
Sure.
- Hey, Ramon.

- Yeah. I'll leave tomorrow.
- Chill out.
- You are not thinking.
Get lost man, the guys are
coming now.
I leave tomorrow. I've got
all my clothes packed.
Don't worry I leave tomorrow
for Florencia.
Don't get so jumpy man.
Chill out.
- Those guys are coming.
- OK, good luck, man.
Hey scum! You're bored
with your life, aren't you?

If you want don't hide.
Just get yourself a mask.
Get a mask and you
can hang around here.
Fag.
If you want we can
do the favor to you, fag?
We can hide you for good.
Don't worry.
I'll hide myself.
