Buddy, buy an armchair from me.
Look. Come in. Look.
Armchairs, cheap armchairs.
From 200 to 120. Come in.
Come in, come in.
What do you need? What do you need?
Armchairs.
Buddy, buy an armchair from me. Look.
We've got tlacoyos,
pambazos, huaraches.
Our cream is two for one.
Well, I'll give you three for ten.
What do you think?
- Leonel?
- Meche.
I... I'm going to find you.
Oh.
I, um...
I was going…
…your house?
In the end…
- …the boys call me.
- Oh.
They tell me what happened
in the… …embassy.
Yes.
Very bad.
You should have come tomorrow.
It's really late now, Rosa.
Mmm, the thing is, I decided to come now
because I made a stew
and it turned out great.
I wanted to share it with someone.
With you, I can't pretend
I don't love eating.
By the way, Mr. Chucho,
who was that new guy you were just with?
He's my second chance, Rosa.
Any news from my amigo, Martin?
- That's actually why I came.
- He give a number telephone…
- …in my Face. Here it is.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Man, yes!
It's so good. Can I, uh...
Can I use your phone, please,
- uh… …again?
- Of course. Look. Here you go.
Come on. Let's sit
in the plaza for more comfort.
Yes.
Sorry. I'm a mess.
I look like crap. I know.
Come on, Grace.
Why don't you just go wash up?
And then I'll make you some food
and you'll feel like yourself again,
I promise.
Thanks for being here.
Mmm.
- You're such a good friend.
- Anytime.
- Hello?
- Martin, finally!
Oh, my God.
Bro, you won't believe
what's happened to me.
Yeah, man, hey. I saw your messages.
I'm very sorry.
It's been a nightmare for us too.
Can you tell my parents, uh,
I need my ID and some money?
Listen, Lionel, you can't talk
to your parents right now.
- You're in danger.
- Why?
When you disappeared,
we went to the police station.
We had no idea
what on earth happened to you,
and we thought you were kidnapped.
BASED ON AN ORIGINAL IDEA
OF FERNANDO BARBOSA
The thing is that the police were
looking for some criminal,
and, you know, they showed the witness
a picture of you.
No, that's stupid.
Why don't they just compare my DNA?
This is real life, man. It's not a movie.
Your mom has a good lawyer,
and they've been working on your case.
I'm just afraid that if they call you,
the police will listen in
and they'll pull a huge operation
and catch you,
even accuse your parents of helping.
Man.
Is that why
all my social networks are blocked?
They're trying to protect you.
They don't want the police to find you.
- This is very serious.
- This can't be true.
It's the only truth, all right?
Things are real bad, and...
And you'll be home very soon.
- Just trust me, all right?
- I just wanna go home.
Martin, can you get the door, please?
Grace?
- Is she with you?
- Can I talk to her?
No, no, it's... it's just the TV.
It's no one.
You don't wanna talk to her anyway.
She's super mad
because of the fight you guys had.
She told you?
And her dad
put a restraining order on you.
What?
Just wait for my call until
we fix this terrible mess, all right?
- Do you trust me, Lionel? Do you?
- Yeah.
Lay low for a bit.
Please tell my family I love...
Bro?
Man.
I can't believe this is happening.
Oh. Hi, Martin.
Is Grace home?
Look. I... I just spoke with Lionel.
- What? When?
- Please keep it down.
- Grace is a complete mess.
- Where is he?
He ran away with some girl he met online.
She's Mexican. He's in Mexico.
What?
Lionel's in Mexico.
Mexico.
What? Why would he do that?
I mean, especially before
the most important fight of his life?
I don't believe you.
Look. She's the one.
Who is it?
Please, she's...
Grace says she might end her life.
What? Oh, my goodness.
He says Grace tried to kill herself.
Kill herself?
Uh, look who came to see you.
- Oh.
- Hi.
Hi. Hi, Grace.
Uh, how are you feeling?
I'm okay.
Where you sleep… …tonight?
Uh…
Maybe you can sleep
in mi floor again.
Yeah.
- Sure, yeah, thanks.
- Hmm?
That would be awesome.
You're so sweet. It's...
It's just…
I'm sorry. I miss, uh…
…my parents, my friends.
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh…
Your sister.
Grace?
You say to Martin.
Oh, yeah, Grace.
No… …she's not my hermana.
Your cousin?
- Huh?
- Cousin?
No.
Best friend?
No.
Girlfriend?
Uh, no.
She... She's, uh, she's more the...
Uh, she's my, uh…
What do you, uh…
…promise?
Grace is your fiancée?
Yeah.
- You no sleep en my floor this night.
- Or ever.
Damn.
Wow. Son of a... Seriously.
Get some tasty and delicious tamales!
Mom! Ma!
Mom! Ma!
My love, I need you to be brave.
Hold on to your things tight.
I won't leave you behind, okay?
It's time. It's time to get in the water.
- Mom, I'm scared.
- Don't be afraid.
I won't let you go, okay?
Let's go.
Let's go. It's time. It's time.
Leonel. It's time.
Time for practice.
It's time!
Come on. Let's go.
You can't be a champion
without practicing.
Are you going to spend your whole life
sleeping or what? Let's go.
Look. I brought you this.
Drink it.
Here. Vitamin C, potassium.
- What is this?
- Come on. Take a big gulp.
- Oh, man.
- Take a big gulp.
- What?
- Dude, it's slimy. It's...
How do you think I got
this beautiful body?
- I always drink this. More.
- It's not good.
Raise your fists a bit more.
More, more.
- Go, Leonel!
- Leonel!
Hi.
- How do they know me?
- Hey. See?
Everyone knows you were the one
who beat the crap out of Trejo and Gordo.
What?
For the people, you are the champion.
Believe me, this is not
what a champion looks like.
I look like a freaking astronaut.
Look.
The first Mexican boxers
wrapped their fists in napkins to fight.
They never backed down. So don't complain.
We're almost done.
Just two more hours. Let's go.
What?
Two hours?
You really overdid it this time, Captain.
You look like a raccoon.
Yeah, my head is going to explode,
Gordo. What's up?
Take your tone down
a couple notches.
GENERAL INVESTIGATION POLICE
The Mosquito.
An ex-boxer that had a big future
in underground fights.
But one day he had the brilliant idea
of putting plaster in his gloves
and killed the guy.
What a sweet story.
What do you want, Gordo?
I want to make some money
off our little friend, Leonel.
I don't get it.
The town fair is coming up soon.
And what better main event
than the boxer everyone is talking about.
And…
And?
And you'll sell tickets like hotcakes.
And if you add Mosquito
and his magic gloves to it,
then…
Then what?
You'll take down Leonel, Captain.
Got it, Gordo. I get it now.
We just have to solve one little problem,
but I have it figured out, Captain.
Who says the perfect crime doesn't exist?
What were you doing there?
I was just finishing with the shelf
you asked me to organize, Captain.
Bring me some pills for my headache.
Yes, Captain.
Gordo.
- Did she hear us?
- If she did, what can we do about it?
Her family depends on this job.
You relax and I'll do the worrying, Gordo.
Ma'am, where does Iker live?
- Iker!
- Iker!
- Iker!
- Iker!
Iker!
- Wait, who are you?
- We want to see Iker.
I came from Xochimilco
so she could take a picture with him.
- I was the first in line, okay?
- I'm a reporter for a channel online.
Wait. I can't understand any of you
if you all talk at the same time.
- We want to see Iker.
- Okay, but hold on.
- We want to see Iker!
- We want to see Iker!
Iker.
Iker.
Bro.
Tell me what you did.
I can't help you if you don't.
If it's about money,
we can auction off my good kidney
to get you out of trouble, but tell me.
No, bro, the truth is,
I don't owe anyone money
and I don't know what I did
for them to want to lynch me like this.
- We want to see Iker!
- Listen, listen, listen.
Come out, Iker!
No, no, no. You should tell them I died
so they won't try to kill me.
Leave me here.
- Come out, Iker!
- We want to see Iker!
- We want to see Iker!
- Shh!
Iker is no longer with us.
- Where did he go?
- Come on.
- What happened to him?
- All famous people play hard to get.
They always get bigheaded.
- Leave me out of it.
- Listen, listen.
If you see Iker, please tell him
I want to do an exclusive on him.
I don't know what that is,
but I'll stick up for my friend.
No, no.
I want to interview him
about his viral video.
His video, the one of the fight. Look.
The punching has begun.
And Gordo grabs him and says,
"Ah, you're staring me down."
Ah, but Leonel also says, "Ah, well,
I'll dance real sweet for you. Right?"
That's it. Wow, wow!
Leonel. Do it, do it!
So he's married.
Engaged.
With a little gringa
that looks like a doll.
And...
Well, sure, yeah, he's cute and all,
but I don't know.
Everything went really fast, right?
I would have liked to get to know him
a little more. That's all.
Get to know him,
go out with him, kiss him.
A little touching here,
a little touching there.
Oh, Yadira.
- That's all you think about.
- Oh, calm down.
Anyway, sister, relax.
Miss Meche.
A pleasure.
Mmm, I can't say the same.
What a coincidence.
I need to talk to your friend.
Why do you want to talk to her?
Well, it's a private matter.
Don't be nosy.
- Can we talk alone?
- Of course you can't.
Of course we can.
I can talk to him, Meche.
Hold this.
Excuse me, Miss Meche.
Take care.
I didn't know you were
so close to Miss Meche.
I've known her and her brother,
Pedro, their whole lives.
But we haven't seen him since he left,
and I've never heard of you.
Yes, that's weird.
- I have heard of you, you know.
- Oh, yeah?
I'm sure people told you
I'm a criminal, that I'm the worst,
and that I even spent time locked up
at Santa Marta, right?
Oh, well, I'm not one of those people
who believes everything they hear.
Why don't you tell me what you think
about what people say about you?
I'm not a criminal, but I'm going to
defend my people and what's mine.
- I just want to be happy.
- Oh, really? What a coincidence.
- Same here.
- Do you believe in destiny?
Wait.
You're going too fast.
I think we're old enough to know
what we want.
Believe me, I'm not what you want.
Why not?
Well, can't you see?
What?
You and me would never work out.
But I liked you from the first second
I set eyes on you.
- Are you kidding?
- No.
You know what?
I'm really sorry you misinterpreted
my intentions with you.
I really am.
I'm telling you, boss. If you really...
Come on. She's really into me.
And get some different clothes.
You look awful.
Come on, dude.
GOLD RYDER Mexican Style
Where are your parents from?
Okay, my father's from Mexico.
And he married a woman from the US.
Okay? My mom.
Well, whatever you say.
But you don't look
like a gringo at all, do you?
Well, the important thing is
that you have Mexican blood in your veins,
and that's very important.
I said, not interested…
…- Mexican style.
- I fight differently.
I think this is going to be
more difficult than I expected.
Tubérculo!
Come here. Help me out.
Let's see if you can
put your money where your mouth is.
Diablo!
Diablo!
Yes, boss?
Buy me one of those treadmills
that makes you lose weight in three days.
Excuse me?
I'm going to get fit.
You don't know what I'm capable of doing
for a woman.
With all due respect,
if you're talking about Yadi,
we all know that...
- Do you have a problem with her or what?
- No, I don't have anything against her.
It's just that I don't understand
why you don't understand...
- If you'd allow me to explain...
- I won't allow you to do anything!
And the last thing I need right now
is for you to tell me
that you're also crazy about her.
No, that's impossible for me.
I'm so glad to hear that.
I don't want you to steal her
from me, okay?
Actually…
from now on I don't want to hear you
speak her name. Okay?
Whatever you say, boss.
Good, man. Get going.
And smile. You always look angry.
Have a good fight.
May the best man win.
First round.
Hey, hey, hey!
Turcos, go to your corner. Hey, hey! Stop.
What's going on with you, huh?
You were just getting started.
Mary!
Hey, curly. I'm right here.
What do you need?
Iker's in trouble and it's all your fault.
Some girl told me
your video infected him with a virus.
It went viral, yeah.
But that's good for him.
He could get famous.
- But how can that be good if he's dying?
- Oh, no. Because of my video?
Yes, people were showing up
at our house asking him to come out.
You know Iker doesn't like crowds.
Oh, that's great.
Take me to my sweetheart.
I'll explain everything.
Who did you put me
to fight with? This guy's crazy.
- Sí. He's crazy.
- What?
The second he puts on
his gloves, he starts hitting everything.
- No one can stop him.
- No, no, no. I don't get it.
Ah, but don't worry.
Deep down he's a good person.
He has a big heart.
Okay. Let's go.
- Next round. Let's go.
- What?
- Why the hell did you tie me for?
- Your stance is too open.
It's important that you move
with short steps, short steps.
What?
Second round!
Come on. Come on.
Yes. Come on, come on, come on!
Short, short.
That's the only way you can hurt him.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, Tubérculo! Leave him alone.
Hey, stop, stop. Don't go too far.
All right. To your corner.
Come on!
This sucks.
- I can't even move.
- It's that...
Your stance is too open.
You have to learn to move
with short steps...
This guy's not even a boxer.
He's a crazy man.
So what?
Your rival doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters
is fighting with your heart.
And fighting to win.
That is Mexican style.
Oh, gosh.
Not interested…
…Mexican style.
Not interested anything you teach.
- At Puerto de Tampico, the fights are...
- Oh, gosh. No, stop. Stop.
No more stories.
I'm out. Okay?
Oh, gosh.
All I'm trying to do is show you
that you're lacking hunger.
A hunger to fight, to struggle, to dream.
You must think you could be a champion
over there in America.
That doesn't prove that you want to win.
You don't know anything about me.
No, I don't.
And I'm not interested in your past.
But what I do know
is that you'll never have
an opportunity like this again.
And don't think you're the only one.
Here in the neighborhood,
I can introduce you
to a ton of young men half your age
that would knock you out
before the first round is over.
- Go ahead.
- Show me.
Show me one that's better than me.
- Hurry up.
- Oh, no!
- He left a note.
- Oh, no! What does it say?
Well, I don't know what to say.
Give it to me.
I duno what 2 say
- What are you doing here? Hmm?
- Where are the guys
that are supposed to knock me out
in the first round, huh?
Mr. Chucho, good morning. Come in.
Hello, miss. Ready?
Good morning, my beautiful children!
Look at that. Look at all of you.
Have you been playing a lot?
Yes!
Great, great, great.
They are…
They are orphaned children.
Look. This is Leonel Queen. He is a boxer,
and he is one of the good ones, okay?
Oh!
Okay, um, who…
…like to box?
Me!
Coming!
- Hello.
- Now what?
Why so aggressive, Miss Meche?
I'm here as a friend.
Which is something we'll never be, okay?
Well, at least let me explain
why I'm here, okay?
You have two minutes.
Seriously?
Uh, so, well,
you and I got off on the wrong foot.
I admit that was my fault.
But I want you to know that, well,
from the bottom of my heart,
I want to apologize, okay?
Look. I made a mistake.
I thought you were
a different kind of woman, you know?
- You don't say! That's what you thought?
- Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
And to prove to you that
what I'm saying, uh, well, is true,
I want to offer you kind of like a job.
- Mmm.
- Okay?
You know the fair is coming up, right?
The neighborhood festival.
And I wanted to ask you to be
in charge of distributing funds
for things regarding charity this year.
You shouldn't have.
But sure, I'll drink it. No sugar.
No. It's not for me, right?
Uh, well, uh, let's go back
to what we were talking about.
What do you think? Say something.
Do you like the idea or not? Hmm?
Well, explain to me, Captain.
Why me?
Well, that's a silly question, isn't it?
- Really, I want to make peace with you.
- Mmm.
And another reason is, well,
because when it comes to money,
it's really hard to find
honest people, okay?
Uh, people that actually care about
the well-being of the people
in our neighborhood.
And what better opportunity than
having you here with me to help with that?
- Mmm.
- Right?
What's the job description?
Ah, no. Well, it's really easy.
Uh, look. As you know, the city is already
coming up with different activities
to get money out of people's pockets.
I mean that in a good way.
We know that money
will be used to fund good causes.
- And that's where, well, I need you.
- Mm-hmm.
I want you to be in charge
of all that money
and make sure it gets to the people
that really need it.
Come on. Help me out.
Come on. Don't make me beg. Hmm?
- Well, if it's for a good cause…
- Mm-hmm.
- …then fine.
- Hmm?
I'm saying yes.
Ah. Yes?
Okay, yes. See?
I knew I could count on you.
I'm going to treat you to a cup of coffee.
Did I say coffee? Let's go out to eat.
Okay.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Hello? What can you do for me?
Gordo.
Just to let you know, I did my part, okay?
Miss Meche accepted,
so I hope you're doing your part.
Yes, yes, I'm working on it now.
You better, Gordo.
You better.
That's all.
Your chin has to be high.
You have to cover your face, okay?
What did he say?
That you always have to
cover your coconut.
This is your coconut. Boom boom.
And short steps, okay?
- Short steps. Short steps.
- Very good.
You mean "pasos cortitos," right?
Look. Let me explain. Watch closely.
Uh, he's not… coming?
His name is Gaby.
He went deaf two years ago.
Oh.
I'm gonna go talk to him, okay?
Hey.
What's your name?
My name is G-A-B-Y,
and this is my sign.
It's nice to meet you.
My name is L-E-O-N-E-L.
Do you want me to teach you how to box?
Ouch!
Come. Let's go.
Look who is coming.
- Come here.
- Gaby!
- Okay, I'm ready.
- Ready, fighters?
Fists first.
Great. Clean fight, clean fight.
May the best man win! Go!
Víctor, Víctor, Víctor!
That's it! Great.
And one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten! Out!
We have a champion!
Víctor is the champion!
Wow.
What did I tell you? Huh?
I knew a bunch of guys
that could knock you out
before the first round is over.
Huh?
- What? Keep walking, keep walking.
- Oh, nothing. Nothing.
Gordo?
I brought you flowers.
Oh, thank you.
Maybe Martin is telling the truth.
Maybe Leonel found out the truth.
- Left, right, left…
- Excellent. Ah.
…right, left, right, left…
Where is Mom?
The important thing is we're together.
I love you, Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Truth?
What truth? About his identity?
No, the truth.
About his origins and his real family.
Ma!
Gaspar!
Ma!
Mom! Mom!
Oh, my God.
Again, this is not
your Social Security number.
Yes, it is.
- Something's wrong.
- Okay, get up.
This is a stupid mistake!
I promise to train him
so this little boxer
will make us a ton of money.
Tomorrow at 6:00 sharp.
Your pay. Good work.
Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?
Immigration! Run!
Hey, you! Stop!
Stop right there!
Come on. Stop right there!
Stop!
Police! Stop right there!
Backup! Backup!
Hey, you! Come on!

- Of course. Look. Here you go.
Come on. Let's sit

Yes.
Sorry. I'm a mess.
I look like crap. I know.
Come on, Grace.
Why don't you just go wash up?
And then I'll make you some food
and you'll feel like yourself again,
I promise.
Thanks for being here.
Mmm.
- You're such a good friend.
- Anytime.
- Hello?
- Martin, finally!
Oh, my God.
Bro, you won't believe
what's happened to me.
Yeah, man, hey. I saw your messages.
I'm very sorry.
It's been a nightmare for us too.
Can you tell my parents, uh,
I need my ID and some money?
Listen, Lionel, you can't talk
to your parents right now.
- You're in danger.
- Why?
When you disappeared,
we went to the police station.

- This is very serious.
- This can't be true.
It's the only truth, all right?
Things are real bad, and...
And you'll be home very soon.
- Just trust me, all right?
- I just wanna go home.
Martin, can you get the door, please?
Grace?
- Is she with you?
- Can I talk to her?
No, no, it's... it's just the TV.
It's no one.
You don't wanna talk to her anyway.
She's super mad
because of the fight you guys had.
She told you?
And her dad
put a restraining order on you.
What?
Just wait for my call until
we fix this terrible mess, all right?
- Do you trust me, Lionel? Do you?
- Yeah.
Lay low for a bit.
Please tell my family I love...
Bro?
Man.
I can't believe this is happening.
Oh. Hi, Martin.
Is Grace home?
Look. I... I just spoke with Lionel.
- What? When?
- Please keep it down.
- Grace is a complete mess.
- Where is he?
He ran away with some girl he met online.
She's Mexican. He's in Mexico.
What?
Lionel's in Mexico.
Mexico.
What? Why would he do that?
I mean, especially before
the most important fight of his life?
I don't believe you.
Look. She's the one.
Who is it?
Please, she's...
Grace says she might end her life.
What? Oh, my goodness.
He says Grace tried to kill herself.
Kill herself?
Uh, look who came to see you.
- Oh.
- Hi.
Hi. Hi, Grace.
Uh, how are you feeling?
I'm okay.
Where you sleep… …tonight?
Uh…
Maybe you can sleep
in mi floor again.
Yeah.
- Sure, yeah, thanks.
- Hmm?
That would be awesome.
You're so sweet. It's...
It's just…
I'm sorry. I miss, uh…
…my parents, my friends.
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh…
Your sister.
Grace?
You say to Martin.
Oh, yeah, Grace.
No… …she's not my hermana.
Your cousin?
- Huh?
- Cousin?
No.
Best friend?
No.
Girlfriend?
Uh, no.
She... She's, uh, she's more the...
Uh, she's my, uh…
What do you, uh…
…promise?
Grace is your fiancée?
Yeah.
- You no sleep en my floor this night.
- Or ever.
Damn.
Wow. Son of a... Seriously.
Get some tasty and delicious tamales!
Mom! Ma!
Mom! Ma!
My love, I need you to be brave.
Hold on to your things tight.
I won't leave you behind, okay?
It's time. It's time to get in the water.
- Mom, I'm scared.
- Don't be afraid.
I won't let you go, okay?
Let's go.
Let's go. It's time. It's time.
Leonel. It's time.
Time for practice.
It's time!
Come on. Let's go.
You can't be a champion
without practicing.
Are you going to spend your whole life
sleeping or what? Let's go.
Look. I brought you this.
Drink it.
Here. Vitamin C, potassium.
- What is this?
- Come on. Take a big gulp.
- Oh, man.
- Take a big gulp.
- What?
- Dude, it's slimy. It's...
How do you think I got
this beautiful body?
- I always drink this. More.
- It's not good.
Raise your fists a bit more.
More, more.
- Go, Leonel!
- Leonel!
Hi.
- How do they know me?
- Hey. See?
Everyone knows you were the one
who beat the crap out of Trejo and Gordo.
What?
For the people, you are the champion.
Believe me, this is not
what a champion looks like.
I look like a freaking astronaut.
Look.
The first Mexican boxers
wrapped their fists in napkins to fight.
They never backed down. So don't complain.
We're almost done.
Just two more hours. Let's go.
What?
Two hours?
You really overdid it this time, Captain.
You look like a raccoon.
Yeah, my head is going to explode,
Gordo. What's up?
Take your tone down
a couple notches.
GENERAL INVESTIGATION POLICE
The Mosquito.
An ex-boxer that had a big future
in underground fights.
But one day he had the brilliant idea
of putting plaster in his gloves
and killed the guy.
What a sweet story.
What do you want, Gordo?
I want to make some money
off our little friend, Leonel.
I don't get it.
The town fair is coming up soon.
And what better main event
than the boxer everyone is talking about.
And…
And?
And you'll sell tickets like hotcakes.
And if you add Mosquito
and his magic gloves to it,
then…
Then what?
You'll take down Leonel, Captain.
Got it, Gordo. I get it now.
We just have to solve one little problem,
but I have it figured out, Captain.
Who says the perfect crime doesn't exist?
What were you doing there?
I was just finishing with the shelf
you asked me to organize, Captain.
Bring me some pills for my headache.
Yes, Captain.
Gordo.
- Did she hear us?
- If she did, what can we do about it?
Her family depends on this job.
You relax and I'll do the worrying, Gordo.
Ma'am, where does Iker live?
- Iker!
- Iker!
- Iker!
- Iker!
Iker!
- Wait, who are you?
- We want to see Iker.
I came from Xochimilco
so she could take a picture with him.
- I was the first in line, okay?
- I'm a reporter for a channel online.
Wait. I can't understand any of you
if you all talk at the same time.
- We want to see Iker.
- Okay, but hold on.
- We want to see Iker!
- We want to see Iker!
Iker.
Iker.
Bro.
Tell me what you did.
I can't help you if you don't.
If it's about money,
we can auction off my good kidney
to get you out of trouble, but tell me.
No, bro, the truth is,
I don't owe anyone money
and I don't know what I did
for them to want to lynch me like this.
- We want to see Iker!
- Listen, listen, listen.
Come out, Iker!
No, no, no. You should tell them I died
so they won't try to kill me.
Leave me here.
- Come out, Iker!
- We want to see Iker!
- We want to see Iker!
- Shh!
Iker is no longer with us.
- Where did he go?
- Come on.
- What happened to him?
- All famous people play hard to get.
They always get bigheaded.
- Leave me out of it.
- Listen, listen.
If you see Iker, please tell him
I want to do an exclusive on him.
I don't know what that is,
but I'll stick up for my friend.
No, no.
I want to interview him
about his viral video.
His video, the one of the fight. Look.
The punching has begun.
And Gordo grabs him and says,
"Ah, you're staring me down."
Ah, but Leonel also says, "Ah, well,
I'll dance real sweet for you. Right?"
That's it. Wow, wow!
Leonel. Do it, do it!
So he's married.
Engaged.
With a little gringa
that looks like a doll.
And...
Well, sure, yeah, he's cute and all,
but I don't know.
Everything went really fast, right?
I would have liked to get to know him
a little more. That's all.
Get to know him,
go out with him, kiss him.
A little touching here,
a little touching there.
Oh, Yadira.
- That's all you think about.
- Oh, calm down.
Anyway, sister, relax.
Miss Meche.
A pleasure.
Mmm, I can't say the same.
What a coincidence.
I need to talk to your friend.
Why do you want to talk to her?
Well, it's a private matter.
Don't be nosy.
- Can we talk alone?
- Of course you can't.
Of course we can.
I can talk to him, Meche.
Hold this.
Excuse me, Miss Meche.
Take care.
I didn't know you were
so close to Miss Meche.
I've known her and her brother,
Pedro, their whole lives.
But we haven't seen him since he left,
and I've never heard of you.
Yes, that's weird.
- I have heard of you, you know.
- Oh, yeah?
I'm sure people told you
I'm a criminal, that I'm the worst,
and that I even spent time locked up
at Santa Marta, right?
Oh, well, I'm not one of those people
who believes everything they hear.
Why don't you tell me what you think
about what people say about you?
I'm not a criminal, but I'm going to
defend my people and what's mine.
- I just want to be happy.
- Oh, really? What a coincidence.
- Same here.
- Do you believe in destiny?
Wait.
You're going too fast.
I think we're old enough to know
what we want.
Believe me, I'm not what you want.
Why not?
Well, can't you see?
What?
You and me would never work out.
But I liked you from the first second
I set eyes on you.
- Are you kidding?
- No.
You know what?
I'm really sorry you misinterpreted
my intentions with you.
I really am.
I'm telling you, boss. If you really...
Come on. She's really into me.
And get some different clothes.
You look awful.
Come on, dude.
GOLD RYDER Mexican Style
Where are your parents from?
Okay, my father's from Mexico.
And he married a woman from the US.
Okay? My mom.
Well, whatever you say.
But you don't look
like a gringo at all, do you?
Well, the important thing is
that you have Mexican blood in your veins,
and that's very important.
I said, not interested…
…- Mexican style.
- I fight differently.
I think this is going to be
more difficult than I expected.
Tubérculo!
Come here. Help me out.
Let's see if you can
put your money where your mouth is.
Diablo!
Diablo!
Yes, boss?
Buy me one of those treadmills
that makes you lose weight in three days.
Excuse me?
I'm going to get fit.
You don't know what I'm capable of doing
for a woman.
With all due respect,
if you're talking about Yadi,
we all know that...
- Do you have a problem with her or what?
- No, I don't have anything against her.
It's just that I don't understand
why you don't understand...
- If you'd allow me to explain...
- I won't allow you to do anything!
And the last thing I need right now
is for you to tell me
that you're also crazy about her.
No, that's impossible for me.
I'm so glad to hear that.
I don't want you to steal her
from me, okay?
Actually…
from now on I don't want to hear you
speak her name. Okay?
Whatever you say, boss.
Good, man. Get going.
And smile. You always look angry.
Have a good fight.
May the best man win.
First round.
Hey, hey, hey!
Turcos, go to your corner. Hey, hey! Stop.
What's going on with you, huh?
You were just getting started.
Mary!
Hey, curly. I'm right here.
What do you need?
Iker's in trouble and it's all your fault.
Some girl told me
your video infected him with a virus.
It went viral, yeah.
But that's good for him.
He could get famous.
- But how can that be good if he's dying?
- Oh, no. Because of my video?
Yes, people were showing up
at our house asking him to come out.
You know Iker doesn't like crowds.
Oh, that's great.
Take me to my sweetheart.
I'll explain everything.
Who did you put me
to fight with? This guy's crazy.
- Sí. He's crazy.
- What?
The second he puts on
his gloves, he starts hitting everything.
- No one can stop him.
- No, no, no. I don't get it.
Ah, but don't worry.
Deep down he's a good person.
He has a big heart.
Okay. Let's go.
- Next round. Let's go.
- What?
- Why the hell did you tie me for?
- Your stance is too open.
It's important that you move
with short steps, short steps.
What?
Second round!
Come on. Come on.
Yes. Come on, come on, come on!
Short, short.
That's the only way you can hurt him.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, Tubérculo! Leave him alone.
Hey, stop, stop. Don't go too far.
All right. To your corner.
Come on!
This sucks.
- I can't even move.
- It's that...
Your stance is too open.
You have to learn to move
with short steps...
This guy's not even a boxer.
He's a crazy man.
So what?
Your rival doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters
is fighting with your heart.
And fighting to win.
That is Mexican style.
Oh, gosh.
Not interested…
…Mexican style.
Not interested anything you teach.
- At Puerto de Tampico, the fights are...
- Oh, gosh. No, stop. Stop.
No more stories.
I'm out. Okay?
Oh, gosh.
All I'm trying to do is show you
that you're lacking hunger.
A hunger to fight, to struggle, to dream.
You must think you could be a champion
over there in America.
That doesn't prove that you want to win.
You don't know anything about me.
No, I don't.
And I'm not interested in your past.
But what I do know
is that you'll never have
an opportunity like this again.
And don't think you're the only one.
Here in the neighborhood,
I can introduce you
to a ton of young men half your age
that would knock you out
before the first round is over.
- Go ahead.
- Show me.
Show me one that's better than me.
- Hurry up.
- Oh, no!
- He left a note.
- Oh, no! What does it say?
Well, I don't know what to say.
Give it to me.
I duno what 2 say
- What are you doing here? Hmm?
- Where are the guys
that are supposed to knock me out
in the first round, huh?
Mr. Chucho, good morning. Come in.
Hello, miss. Ready?
Good morning, my beautiful children!
Look at that. Look at all of you.
Have you been playing a lot?
Yes!
Great, great, great.
They are…
They are orphaned children.
Look. This is Leonel Queen. He is a boxer,
and he is one of the good ones, okay?
Oh!
Okay, um, who…
…like to box?
Me!
Coming!
- Hello.
- Now what?
Why so aggressive, Miss Meche?
I'm here as a friend.
Which is something we'll never be, okay?
Well, at least let me explain
why I'm here, okay?
You have two minutes.
Seriously?
Uh, so, well,
you and I got off on the wrong foot.
I admit that was my fault.
But I want you to know that, well,
from the bottom of my heart,
I want to apologize, okay?
Look. I made a mistake.
I thought you were
a different kind of woman, you know?
- You don't say! That's what you thought?
- Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
And to prove to you that
what I'm saying, uh, well, is true,
I want to offer you kind of like a job.
- Mmm.
- Okay?
You know the fair is coming up, right?
The neighborhood festival.
And I wanted to ask you to be
in charge of distributing funds
for things regarding charity this year.
You shouldn't have.
But sure, I'll drink it. No sugar.
No. It's not for me, right?
Uh, well, uh, let's go back
to what we were talking about.
What do you think? Say something.
Do you like the idea or not? Hmm?
Well, explain to me, Captain.
Why me?
Well, that's a silly question, isn't it?
- Really, I want to make peace with you.
- Mmm.
And another reason is, well,
because when it comes to money,
it's really hard to find
honest people, okay?
Uh, people that actually care about
the well-being of the people
in our neighborhood.
And what better opportunity than
having you here with me to help with that?
- Mmm.
- Right?
What's the job description?
Ah, no. Well, it's really easy.
Uh, look. As you know, the city is already
coming up with different activities
to get money out of people's pockets.
I mean that in a good way.
We know that money
will be used to fund good causes.
- And that's where, well, I need you.
- Mm-hmm.
I want you to be in charge
of all that money
and make sure it gets to the people
that really need it.
Come on. Help me out.
Come on. Don't make me beg. Hmm?
- Well, if it's for a good cause…
- Mm-hmm.
- …then fine.
- Hmm?
I'm saying yes.
Ah. Yes?
Okay, yes. See?
I knew I could count on you.
I'm going to treat you to a cup of coffee.
Did I say coffee? Let's go out to eat.
Okay.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Hello? What can you do for me?
Gordo.
Just to let you know, I did my part, okay?
Miss Meche accepted,
so I hope you're doing your part.
Yes, yes, I'm working on it now.
You better, Gordo.
You better.
That's all.
Your chin has to be high.
You have to cover your face, okay?
What did he say?
That you always have to
cover your coconut.
This is your coconut. Boom boom.
And short steps, okay?
- Short steps. Short steps.
- Very good.
You mean "pasos cortitos," right?
Look. Let me explain. Watch closely.
Uh, he's not… coming?
His name is Gaby.
He went deaf two years ago.
Oh.
I'm gonna go talk to him, okay?
Hey.
What's your name?
My name is G-A-B-Y,
and this is my sign.
It's nice to meet you.
My name is L-E-O-N-E-L.
Do you want me to teach you how to box?
Ouch!
Come. Let's go.
Look who is coming.
- Come here.
- Gaby!
- Okay, I'm ready.
- Ready, fighters?
Fists first.
Great. Clean fight, clean fight.
May the best man win! Go!
Víctor, Víctor, Víctor!
That's it! Great.
And one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten! Out!
We have a champion!
Víctor is the champion!
Wow.
What did I tell you? Huh?
I knew a bunch of guys
that could knock you out
before the first round is over.
Huh?
- What? Keep walking, keep walking.
- Oh, nothing. Nothing.
Gordo?
I brought you flowers.
Oh, thank you.
Maybe Martin is telling the truth.
Maybe Leonel found out the truth.
- Left, right, left…
- Excellent. Ah.
…right, left, right, left…
Where is Mom?
The important thing is we're together.
I love you, Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Truth?
What truth? About his identity?
No, the truth.
About his origins and his real family.
Ma!
Gaspar!
Ma!
Mom! Mom!
