El marginal (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Capítulo 2 - full transcript
Pastor Peña continues with his plan to approach the Borges brothers. Meanwhile, his own brother leads him unexpected news.
A Netflix Original Series
(LUNA SCREAMING)
Hi, Dad.
I'm fine.
They're saying that
you kept some money.
If you give it back,
they'll set me free.
Help me.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
JAMES: Now you know that
your daughter is fine.
But only for now.
I swear, if you
so much as touch a hair
on her head...
Your daughter's virginity
is in your hands.
It's 3 million.
Where am I supposed
to get that money?
From wherever you hid it,
you son of a bitch.
That money isn't yours.
One more thing,
in addition to the money,
we want you to release Sosa.
Who is Sosa?
One of our colleagues,
he was hurt.
I have no idea where he is.
He escaped.
You don't know where he is?
Bullshit.
Fuck. They think
the bastard is alive.
(GUN FIRING ON TV)
This shit isn't downloading.
(SNORTING)
Enough drinks.
Eat something.
I want to download
this picture from
WhatsApp, but I can't.
Take a look, you know
about these things.
Dios!
Come on.
Stop busting
my balls, Marito.
Work hours are over.
I'm not talking
as your boss,
but as your brother.
Don't talk to me
like that or else
I'll knock out your
drug-addict teeth.
Drug addicts always
have rotten teeth.
It's part of the obsession,
because they like
to show them off.
When they're clean,
they're embarrassed,
so they laugh with
their mouths closed.
Suck my balls.
Yeah, I'm going to have to
suck your balls,
because with that mouth,
you won't be able to
fuck anyone.
Not even the crooks
from the courtyard.
Idiot.
Why didn't you tell me
you ordered pizza?
I was eating the stew
I've been giving to Luna.
You're calling her
by her name.
(LAUGHING)
He fell in love
with the kid.
I don't know, I've never had
a cock in my mouth.
I'm not sure you can say
the same.
(ALL LAUGHING)
DIOS: I didn't say
anything, Barny.
(GUN FIRING ON TV)
Enough playing around.
I'm worried about the girl.
She's acting crazy.
She's being strange,
saying that
she hears noises.
Is the radio still on loud?
Yes, but it's still strange
because there isn't
anyone around there.
Did they put someone
in the bunkers? You can
hear everything there.
MORCILLA: Excuse me.
DIOS: Morcilla.
MORCILLA: Do you have mine?
Take this one.
Morcilla, did you put
anyone in the bunkers?
Yeah, that new guy.
We put him there with Capece
without anyone knowing.
You said you didn't
want any more deaths.
I listened to you.
Capece is an idiot.
Tell him to come here.
No, he left already.
Then stick the pizza
up your ass and go.
I already ate.
Tell Capece to move
the new guy early tomorrow.
It's dangerous
having people there.
Capece.
(INDISTINCT TALKING
ON RADIO)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(DOOR OPENS)
CAPECE: Did you have
a good time, Pena?
I could keep you there
a week, 20 days,
and nobody would know.
At least
don't bust my balls.
Take a shower and
make yourself presentable.
I don't want
the social worker
to see you like this.
Look, the bunker
doesn't exist anymore.
Do you understand?
Capece, it's illegal
to put inmates
in the bunker.
Report him to
that security guard.
I'll be your witness.
What can you testify?
You're out touring all day.
DIOS: I don't know
who let him into prison.
They say he enters
Miss Capece's ass.
(TATTOO MACHINE WHIRRING)
PASTOR: How do I get
a calling card?
Hi. How are you? Good day.
How was your solitude?
Good? I'm happy.
Luckily, everything is
the same here,
a beautiful day
to be in prison.
Good day.
I have to talk to my lawyer.
No. Wait. Don't report
that they put you
in solitary confinement.
They'll kill you
and your lawyer.
PASTOR:
No, that's not why.
Okay, I don't know.
The only one that
has them is Morcilla,
but I don't think
he'll give you one.
If he does,
it'll be expensive.
PASTOR: Get me one
and I'll owe you two.
No, don't pull me
into this mess.
I'll have to answer
to that fat troll.
I already paid for
my right to be here.
Did Morcilla fuck you?
No, he beat the shit
out of me and I was
his bitch for a year.
You don't know
how many times I dreamed
of gutting him
and cooking him
on the grill in the middle
of the courtyard.
And when I was
about to eat him,
it would be 300 kilos
of rotten flesh,
a smell that would
stink up the whole prison.
And Antin let us all leave,
but nobody would go.
All the prisoners
were outside,
circling the prison.
Paint me that picture.
What?
That's it.
A view of the prison
from above, with the
prisoners circling it.
Right, my friend?
Do you know
where the Sub-21 are?
Cesar and his
drug addicts?
INMATE:
A tall name for a gang.
Cesar and his drug addicts.
Sounds like Ricky Espinosa.
Over there.
I'll tell you about
the dream another time,
because you're starting
to act like Gauchito Gil.
We can't escape there.
I don't fit.
We have to find
another way.
This is impossible,
even the midget won't fit.
I don't fit.
Look who it is.
CESAR: Hey.
ALL:
♪ The craziest guy
from the block is back
♪ He came back mad
♪ He fucks Morcilla
standing up
♪ And leaves the prick
fucked up
♪ We don't want refugees
here in the courtyard
♪ Sub-21, I'm a soldier ♪
(ALL CHEERING)
(WHISTLES)
Welcome, Pastor.
You look good. Normally,
you leave there cracked.
Today is Cesar's birthday.
Really? Happy birthday.
We're all in.
We're starting a rebellion.
We're igniting the house
and getting Morcilla.
I need you to get me
a calling card.
I don't have anything
to give you,
they confiscated everything.
You don't have to
give us anything.
If you help us,
we'll help you.
This is for my brother.
Save a portion for me,
I'll come back later.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(TURNS DOWN VOLUME)
(HANDCUFF CLICKING)
Your food, baby.
My name isn't baby.
What's your name?
Luna.
Luna Lunati.
Yes.
I knew your dad
was a son of a bitch,
but to be bad
to his own daughter...
What about you?
You're blonde,
but you're black as shit.
It's not nice to talk
like that.
Do you think
I'm going to eat
this garbage?
I'd rather die, nigger.
What did you say?
Nigger.
What is "nigger"?
It means
"black piece of shit"
in English.
Didn't your father teach you
what human rights are?
No. He was busy putting
idiots like you behind bars.
I think he was busy
sticking his nose
in other people's business.
Maybe.
Why is this radio on
all the time?
Because
the "On-Off" is broken.
Take out the batteries,
fucking idiot.
"My friend,
do you have some change?
"Come on, for some drugs."
My father is going to
kill you all.
You don't know how horrible
it is to be locked in
a shitty place like this.
No.
I can't imagine.
(TURNS UP VOLUME)
If you put one finger
on the radio,
I'll cut it off.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Amaya.
Here.
Let her eat and
then cuff her again.
Is Capece coming?
I don't know.
Why?
No reason.
I'll talk to him later.
What's wrong?
You don't trust me?
We trust you.
They said he went out.
Just for a few hours.
Do you think my brother
would make you do
something that would
jeopardize you?
Okay, fine.
But you can't tell anyone.
I'd like for us to
talk a little
and for you to tell me
about yourself
and your interests
so that I know
how I can help you.
You want me to tell you
about myself?
Mmm-hmm.
Honestly,
I prefer the women to talk
and for me to listen.
At least on the first date.
This isn't a date.
This is an interview
between an inmate
and a social worker.
Do you have a profession?
No.
I read that you didn't
finish high school.
Would you like to finish it?
No.
Why not?
There are a lot of inmates
that take advantage
of this program.
They're very satisfied,
some even decide
to pursue a degree.
Maybe, but that's
not my case.
Okay, let's talk about
your time here.
I saw that you were
in the courtyard and that
you were adapting well.
The next step is to move on
to a cell block.
I'm not sure if you've seen
the different cell blocks.
If there is a group that
you feel an affinity with.
I'm not interested
in any groups.
Fine.
From what I can see,
you're not interested
in anything.
I'll complete some
questions so we can finish
the interview.
You know, some inmates
take advantage of
this time in their lives
to change,
grow or reflect.
To become better people.
You honestly think that a
man can save himself here?
Yes, of course. You don't?
Here a thief becomes
more of a thief
and a murderer
more of a murderer.
Do you think that
with a theater workshop
you're going to change
the garbage here?
We obviously
don't think the same.
Either way, you're right.
We can't help everyone.
Some people are
not worth the time.
I'll see you next Thursday,
same time.
I'm sorry I have
to bug you again,
but I have to.
You can go.
Morci, treat us
to something?
It's Cesar's birthday.
"Morci"?
That's "Mr. Morcilla,"
you assholes.
There are no birthdays here.
Months and weeks
don't exist.
The whole year is
the same fucking day,
over and over again.
The sun rises and
then it's night. That's it.
Get out of here.
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
Here. Make them last.
Three beers? That's it?
They're warm on top
of it all.
Come on, don't be a rat.
Give us something more.
Use your imagination.
Here a rotten potato
can turn into a bird.
A clean black ass
can turn into a beautiful
blonde pussy.
Shut up, you're fat.
Don't pretend to
be a ladies' man.
When I came here,
I was thinner than you.
But I ate so many niggers,
and now I look like this.
And I'm still hungry.
Come on, give us
a few beers more,
and a card.
It's Cesar's birthday.
Do I look like a charity?
Come on, a card. Come on.
I don't set the prices.
A card lasts an hour.
If you give 10 minutes
of ass,
that could get you
60 minutes of business.
We'll give you
60 kicks in the ass.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Ugly fag.
Eat shit.
They all say the same thing,
but the same thing happens.
Our cell block
has the last turn
at the cafeteria.
Do you want to know
what we eat?
Nothing.
And if they do
give us something,
do you know what it is?
Have you ever eaten
the food here?
How can I help you?
I asked if you've ever
eaten here.
You know that I haven't.
It's shit.
It's even worse if they
scratch the bottom
of the pot
to give us what's left.
I'm putting the brakes
on the mess here.
I'm here to negotiate.
Are you going
to do anything?
I'll escalate the issue
to the director,
let's see what he says.
Take it to the director.
Don't promise something
you're not going to do.
Do you know what
a rebellion is?
Yes, of course.
Have you experienced it?
Do you want anything else?
Nothing else.
Do you know what
the gringos call
a fake umbrella?
What?
Unbrella.
(LAUGHING)
You don't know English.
"Umbrella" is for the rain.
INMATE: Morcilla only
gave us three beers.
I'm sick of him.
We need to get him.
Calm down.
Did you get the card?
INMATE: No.
Here. There's a little bit
of credit left.
Wait. I'll give it to you,
but what will you give me?
Come on. Don't be upset.
You know what things
cost around here.
I'm not just
giving him a card,
I'm denying myself
talking to my family.
It's the only thing I have.
Are these Fiorella's?
If Morcilla sees me
with these, he'll take them.
He won't touch you.
(PEDRO LAUGHS)
Do you want them?
(ALL LAUGHING)
AUTOMATED VOICE:
The cellular phone
you are calling is
either turned off
or out of the area...
How are you?
Everything all right?
Good?
Good. You?
Everything's good.
WOMAN ON PHONE:
Palacio Studios,
good afternoon.
PASTOR: I'd like to speak
to Fernando Palacios.
WOMAN ON PHONE:
He's not here.
Who's calling?
Tell him his brother called.
Tell him to call me.
Is there a problem?
No, everything's fine.
DIOS:
Those lawyers are ulcers,
worse than rapists.
But they wear
a suit and tie.
I'm sure he told you,
"Don't say anything,
deny everything,"
and he buried you.
Right?
You know it.
See?
Here, lawyers
won't save you.
Neither will laws. Nothing.
Here, loyalty saves you.
Okay.
You need to be
grateful to me.
Why?
What do you mean, "why"?
Why do you think
they took you out
of the bunker so quickly?
Because of God?
Thank you.
Don't worry.
I won't charge you.
It's free.
Unless I look like a lawyer?
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you.
Hello.
How are you?
Are you cleaning
your locker?
I should do the same.
Cleaning?
I'm taking everything out.
Now that I know
anyone can come
and inspect your things.
That only happened once.
It doesn't matter,
it's enough.
Doesn't it bother you
that anyone can open
your locker?
I'm sorry,
I had an interview with
an awful new inmate.
A show-off who thinks
he's the only one locked up.
It's filled with them.
But if they're going
to affect your mood...
What are you going to do?
All of a sudden,
I look like the one
with experience
and you're new.
No, but this guy
was different.
Was he cute?
I don't know. I didn't look.
Come on,
it's just the two of us.
I didn't look.
I'm not interested.
I'm not telling you
to check him out,
but you're telling me
that in all this time,
you've never liked anyone?
Never! You shouldn't play
with that, seriously.
Do you want to fall
in love with someone?
Here's a photo of my cat.
Mmm.
(LAUGHS)
LUCRECIA: There's a problem
with the wife of one
of the inmates
who came for a visit.
They can't find him.
ANTIN: Who is the inmate?
LUCRECIA: Gustavo Sosa.
I want you to go tell her
the director wants
to speak with her.
Bring her here
and I'll explain.
After that,
I have to go run an errand.
It won't be long,
an hour and a half.
Fine. An hour and a half.
Fortunately, your husband
is getting better.
They ran a diagnostic.
He's sick
with a complicated case
of gastroenteritis.
We had to hydrate him
through an IV.
An IV?
Yes.
Is it bad?
(TIRE SCREECHING)
No, not anymore.
He's past the tricky part.
They just called from
the hospital saying
that they want
to send him back.
I told them to keep him
for one more day.
Which hospital is he in?
Can I visit him?
If we officially report
that there is an inmate
with gastroenteritis...
Board meetings, checks,
reports, bureaucracy...
A mess!
I want to compensate you,
something small.
I said, "What should
I do with Mrs. Sosa?
"Since she came all this
way, I want her to have
this money."
Take them, as compensation.
In the meantime,
I promise that when
your husband is back,
I'll give him a card
so that he can call you.
Thank you.
And this stays between us.
You want cash?
I can give you cash.
For good work.
I'm very much
in love with you.
LUCRECIA: You don't
have to lie to me.
I swear to God.
You're very horny.
This isn't love.
It looks a little like love,
but it's not love.
It's pure love, Lucre.
Don't be a skeptic.
You're the love of my life.
Okay.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(MOANING)
(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)
LUCRECIA: Do you like it?
(MARIO PANTING)
Pastor.
Pastor.
Pastor.
Pastor.
(GASPS)
Let's go.
Where?
To celebrate.
What?
Cesar's birthday.
The girl.
INMATE: Shut up, midget.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Do you want some?
(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)
Turn that off, you cunt.
(GROANS)
MORCILLA: How awful, Pedro.
Do you want a drink, too?
He's a child.
Go, Morcilla, come on.
What the fuck did you do?
Stop, son of a bitch.
What the fuck is
wrong with you?
(ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Bye, Morci.
Now.
You're scum.
(WHISTLING)
(ALL CHEERING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
ANTIN: How is it that
six fucking idiots
control your courtyard?
My courtyard?
Yes, yours.
What about you?
What? They never stole
anything from me.
It's Morcilla's fault.
Everything fell apart
under him.
He's on his way out.
What about your night watch?
Talk about collaboration!
Fags.
Don't blame the guards,
they get paid shit.
Be thankful that
they closed off the hallway
to the cell blocks,
because if they got
to the fags' cell,
it wouldn't stop.
We'd be empanada filling,
like in Sierra Chica.
They stole 50 phone cards.
Those sons of bitches.
I'm going to spend
the whole month
watching those idiots
from the courtyard talking
on the phone for free.
(GRUNTS)
Listen.
What do you know
about Sosa?
Did you talk to his wife?
What do you know about him?
Where is he?
It's like I told you.
Do you know
anything or not?
It's like I told you.
What?
He went home...
Yes.
One of his kids was sick,
so he decided to stay
a few more days.
Tell me, Mario,
did you talk
to Sosa directly?
Or did you speak
to his wife?
No, I called her at work
because their house phone
isn't working.
Oh, okay.
That's great.
So you believe that
he's going to come back
and everything
will be great?
Everything's good.
Sosa's a good father
and he's being responsible
at home with his kids.
He's a good guy.
Call me if you
need anything.
Obviously.
(DOOR CLOSES)
MORCILLA: Hurry up.
What a disaster
those assholes left.
I'm going to make them
shit fire.
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
Be careful.
We've already lost enough.
I'm going to talk to Mario.
They'll get what's coming
to them.
What the fuck are you
laughing at?
Nothing.
I'm sure you had something
to do with this.
Me? No.
You did this to yourself.
It wouldn't have hurt you
to give them a few beers.
At least not fuck them
with the price.
Don't come here,
advising me how
to run my business.
Me advise you? No.
I can see you have
everything under control.
Mario wants to talk to you.
Tell him I'm coming.
No, Morcilla.
He's looking for him.
WING 86
(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
Girl.
Breakfast.
Girl.
Hey, girl!
Girl!
Fuck.
Amaya.
Come here.
Amaya.
What's wrong?
She's dead.
What do you mean,
she's dead?
Your problem
is that you don't
psychoanalyze people.
I know you laugh because
I go to a psychologist.
But therapy teaches you
how to see more.
You can size people up
right away.
Look at Freud, here.
All right, so who would
you put in charge of
controlling those assholes?
Hi.
What's your name?
Pastor Pena.
Did you see that we have
a mess in the courtyard?
Dios says that you could
take care of it.
If Dios says so.
What my brother
is trying to say is...
We want you
to take Morcilla's spot
in the courtyard.
We want you
to be part of the gang
and to take care of
the business down there.
What's with the face,
my friend?
Do you want to work
with us or not?
That's why I'm here.
She has a pulse.
You made me shit
my pants.
Go get Borges.
Go get a doctor.
We see that the guys
respect you.
It's not easy to get them
to like you right away.
Aside from
watching our store,
you can watch over
those morons
so they don't do shit
like last night.
That can't happen again.
I recommend dishing out
a few slaps when necessary,
as a friend.
Get in their heads.
Okay.
There's a problem
with Luna.
Sit down. Do you want
to play PlayStation?
Shit, she's not responding.
What's wrong, angel?
Are you sure you didn't
hear anything strange
last night?
No, I was outside and
I looked in once in a while.
Give me the tray.
Come on, respond, beauty.
The doctor is coming.
Borges, the doctor
is taking too long.
Okay, let me know
and we'll go get him
at the entrance
to the workshop.
Perfect.
The doctor is on his way.
Amaya is hysterical.
I know, he's a pussy.
Fix this,
then get rid of him.
Okay.
Let me know
when Toro gets here.
Here we can do
what we like.
You can come here
to watch soccer
or whatever you want.
We've got a porn channel.
If not, ask Pancho.
(LAUGHING)
This is like...
I'm not saying
it's like being outside.
It's not paradise,
but almost.
People pay a fortune, right?
Yeah...
To be somewhere like this,
with a TV.
With a PlayStation,
foosball, Ping-Pong.
Do you know how
to play Ping-Pong?
I manage.
Really?
I beat everyone.
He's my bitch.
(LAUGHING)
The only person
I can't beat is Mario.
Mario knows
how to play.
Maybe some let you win?
No, I don't think so.
Let's see, Pancho.
(SNORTS)
A snort?
No, thanks.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Okay.
ANTIN: How's it coming?
Will it be ready today?
If they bring the parts
that I ordered
before 3:00 or 4:00,
I can get it done
last-minute.
Don't bullshit.
Okay.
Listen, I want to tell you
something that stays
between the two of us.
A few days ago,
Sosa left with three guys,
and I can't find him.
Do you know anything?
Did you see anything?
A car come or go?
No, I just check the cars.
On Tuesday, two cars left
and two came back.
But if there is a guy
missing or an extra one,
I wouldn't know.
You don't know shit.
Whose car is that?
Some guy who came in
with Amaya.
Amaya.
So, what's your specialty?
What do you mean?
We already know
you can fight.
What else can you do
that could help us?
I can manage with anything.
That's good,
because there is
a lot of work here.
You can even bring work
to Mario,
we'll talk about it,
evaluate it.
Okay.
There's a lot of
possibility to grow.
That's good.
What's over there?
Nothing.
What's up?
What do you mean?
There is too much
going on there
for it to be nothing.
Since you're asking,
that's the door
to the old jail.
It's our free-trade zone.
That's good.
Shh.
DIOS: What's up?
Do you know where
your brother is?
I need to talk to him.
No.
If I were you,
I wouldn't show myself
for a few days.
I want to see
how we can fix things.
Don't worry
about it too much.
You're not in charge
anymore, Morcilla.
What do you mean,
I'm not in charge anymore?
(TUTTING)
Who's going to be in charge?
You guys are crazy.
We're going to try him out.
You guys are crazy,
you don't even know him.
I've been
with you for years,
you're totally nuts.
Don't pay attention to him.
Morcilla. Is there anything
left in the store?
A few beers to celebrate?
What a disaster.
It looks worse
in the daylight.
Hmm.
What are you reading?
A play.
For the theater workshop.
You like theater?
No.
I like the teacher.
What's up? Is everything
okay with us?
I don't know.
You're moving too quickly.
I don't want to be
a part of it when
they slice you up.
Why are you saying this?
News travels fast.
Is this about Morcilla?
I thought
you were different.
And now you're a traitor.
You switched gangs.
We were friends.
Are you going
to charge us
for the beers?
Look at him.
Borges' new pawn.
I'm not anyone's pawn.
Borges wants to avoid
problems because he knows
Morcilla acted badly.
He put me in his place
because he knows
we get along.
It's a sign of respect.
Oh, how nice. You know what?
Tell him to suck it.
Do you know how many times
they shit on us?
With everything.
With seizures. Drugs. Work.
Do what you want.
But if I were you,
I'd stay awake.
I'd take what's left
from the robbery
and I'd give it back.
Then I'd negotiate.
(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY)
Morcilla.
Shut your mouth.
Morcilla.
Shut your mouth.
Morcilla's here.
Shut your mouth,
fucking midget.
Morcilla!
You're going to end up
on fire in your mini
circus tent.
Get out of here.
Morcilla is here.
Look.
Here's the asshole.
INMATE 1: Fatty, come here.
INMATE 2: What's up, fag?
Come here, piece of shit.
MORCILLA:
No, get out of here.
Door!
Door!
Door!
(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(GROANS)
What happened?
Did you save your ass?
(LINE RINGING)
Hello.
Amaya, it's me, Antin.
Did you lose anything?
No, why?
Because I'm looking
at you sticking
your finger up your nose.
What the fuck
are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Come to my office.
I want to talk to you.
I'll see you there, boss.
And don't stop anywhere
along the way.
Come straight here.
I'm watching you
with the hallway monitors.
MARIO: It's too bad
he doesn't do social work.
Bringing him here
is going to cost me
a fortune.
Is it serious, Doctor?
Can we talk outside?
MARIO: Yes.
You're going
to be fine, beauty.
Look at how pretty you are,
if only I was
a few years younger.
I'll be back soon,
pretty girl.
This part of the jail
is completely abandoned.
You have to enter directly
through the Espora entrance.
The girl is there.
And you have to watch out
for the prison guards.
Fuck. If they're using
a fence in jail,
it means that
everyone knows.
The directors, the guards.
I don't know.
We have to act fast,
because there were strange
things happening around
the girl this morning.
Leave here
and call Lunati to
give him the information.
Hold on.
You're moving too quickly.
I have to tell you
something, too.
Your jaw is going to drop.
What?
Remember you told me
that some things
didn't make sense
with Lunati?
Yes.
That they kidnapped
his daughter.
That it's strange.
Yes.
I figured out
what's behind it all.
Cash, a lot of cash.
They're charging Lunati
a ransom for what
he stole from Borges.
It's more than $3 million.
(CHUCKLES)
What does that
have to do with us?
It's obvious.
Lunati doesn't think
we'll figure it out,
and that we'll give him
his daughter back
for the few pennies
we agreed to.
(LAUGHING)
(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING)
EL MARGINAL IS
A FICTIONAL SHOW.
ANY RESEMBLANCE

NAMES AND/OR CIRCUMSTANCES
IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.
(LUNA SCREAMING)
Hi, Dad.
I'm fine.
They're saying that
you kept some money.
If you give it back,
they'll set me free.
Help me.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
JAMES: Now you know that
your daughter is fine.
But only for now.
I swear, if you
so much as touch a hair
on her head...
Your daughter's virginity
is in your hands.
It's 3 million.
Where am I supposed
to get that money?
From wherever you hid it,
you son of a bitch.
That money isn't yours.
One more thing,
in addition to the money,
we want you to release Sosa.
Who is Sosa?
One of our colleagues,
he was hurt.
I have no idea where he is.
He escaped.
You don't know where he is?
Bullshit.
Fuck. They think
the bastard is alive.
(GUN FIRING ON TV)
This shit isn't downloading.
(SNORTING)
Enough drinks.
Eat something.
I want to download
this picture from
WhatsApp, but I can't.
Take a look, you know
about these things.
Dios!
Come on.
Stop busting
my balls, Marito.
Work hours are over.
I'm not talking
as your boss,
but as your brother.
Don't talk to me
like that or else
I'll knock out your
drug-addict teeth.
Drug addicts always
have rotten teeth.
It's part of the obsession,
because they like
to show them off.
When they're clean,
they're embarrassed,
so they laugh with
their mouths closed.
Suck my balls.
Yeah, I'm going to have to
suck your balls,
because with that mouth,
you won't be able to
fuck anyone.
Not even the crooks
from the courtyard.
Idiot.
Why didn't you tell me
you ordered pizza?
I was eating the stew
I've been giving to Luna.
You're calling her
by her name.
(LAUGHING)
He fell in love
with the kid.
I don't know, I've never had
a cock in my mouth.
I'm not sure you can say
the same.
(ALL LAUGHING)
DIOS: I didn't say
anything, Barny.
(GUN FIRING ON TV)
Enough playing around.
I'm worried about the girl.
She's acting crazy.
She's being strange,
saying that
she hears noises.
Is the radio still on loud?
Yes, but it's still strange
because there isn't
anyone around there.
Did they put someone
in the bunkers? You can
hear everything there.
MORCILLA: Excuse me.
DIOS: Morcilla.
MORCILLA: Do you have mine?
Take this one.
Morcilla, did you put
anyone in the bunkers?
Yeah, that new guy.
We put him there with Capece
without anyone knowing.
You said you didn't
want any more deaths.
I listened to you.
Capece is an idiot.
Tell him to come here.
No, he left already.
Then stick the pizza
up your ass and go.
I already ate.
Tell Capece to move
the new guy early tomorrow.
It's dangerous
having people there.
Capece.
(INDISTINCT TALKING
ON RADIO)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(DOOR OPENS)
CAPECE: Did you have
a good time, Pena?
I could keep you there
a week, 20 days,
and nobody would know.
At least
don't bust my balls.
Take a shower and
make yourself presentable.
I don't want
the social worker
to see you like this.
Look, the bunker
doesn't exist anymore.
Do you understand?
Capece, it's illegal
to put inmates
in the bunker.
Report him to
that security guard.
I'll be your witness.
What can you testify?
You're out touring all day.
DIOS: I don't know
who let him into prison.
They say he enters
Miss Capece's ass.
(TATTOO MACHINE WHIRRING)
PASTOR: How do I get
a calling card?
Hi. How are you? Good day.
How was your solitude?
Good? I'm happy.
Luckily, everything is
the same here,
a beautiful day
to be in prison.
Good day.
I have to talk to my lawyer.
No. Wait. Don't report
that they put you
in solitary confinement.
They'll kill you
and your lawyer.
PASTOR:
No, that's not why.
Okay, I don't know.
The only one that
has them is Morcilla,
but I don't think
he'll give you one.
If he does,
it'll be expensive.
PASTOR: Get me one
and I'll owe you two.
No, don't pull me
into this mess.
I'll have to answer
to that fat troll.
I already paid for
my right to be here.
Did Morcilla fuck you?
No, he beat the shit
out of me and I was
his bitch for a year.
You don't know
how many times I dreamed
of gutting him
and cooking him
on the grill in the middle
of the courtyard.
And when I was
about to eat him,
it would be 300 kilos
of rotten flesh,
a smell that would
stink up the whole prison.
And Antin let us all leave,
but nobody would go.
All the prisoners
were outside,
circling the prison.
Paint me that picture.
What?
That's it.
A view of the prison
from above, with the
prisoners circling it.
Right, my friend?
Do you know
where the Sub-21 are?
Cesar and his
drug addicts?
INMATE:
A tall name for a gang.
Cesar and his drug addicts.
Sounds like Ricky Espinosa.
Over there.
I'll tell you about
the dream another time,
because you're starting
to act like Gauchito Gil.
We can't escape there.
I don't fit.
We have to find
another way.
This is impossible,
even the midget won't fit.
I don't fit.
Look who it is.
CESAR: Hey.
ALL:
♪ The craziest guy
from the block is back
♪ He came back mad
♪ He fucks Morcilla
standing up
♪ And leaves the prick
fucked up
♪ We don't want refugees
here in the courtyard
♪ Sub-21, I'm a soldier ♪
(ALL CHEERING)
(WHISTLES)
Welcome, Pastor.
You look good. Normally,
you leave there cracked.
Today is Cesar's birthday.
Really? Happy birthday.
We're all in.
We're starting a rebellion.
We're igniting the house
and getting Morcilla.
I need you to get me
a calling card.
I don't have anything
to give you,
they confiscated everything.
You don't have to
give us anything.
If you help us,
we'll help you.
This is for my brother.
Save a portion for me,
I'll come back later.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(TURNS DOWN VOLUME)
(HANDCUFF CLICKING)
Your food, baby.
My name isn't baby.
What's your name?
Luna.
Luna Lunati.
Yes.
I knew your dad
was a son of a bitch,
but to be bad
to his own daughter...
What about you?
You're blonde,
but you're black as shit.
It's not nice to talk
like that.
Do you think
I'm going to eat
this garbage?
I'd rather die, nigger.
What did you say?
Nigger.
What is "nigger"?
It means
"black piece of shit"
in English.
Didn't your father teach you
what human rights are?
No. He was busy putting
idiots like you behind bars.
I think he was busy
sticking his nose
in other people's business.
Maybe.
Why is this radio on
all the time?
Because
the "On-Off" is broken.
Take out the batteries,
fucking idiot.
"My friend,
do you have some change?
"Come on, for some drugs."
My father is going to
kill you all.
You don't know how horrible
it is to be locked in
a shitty place like this.
No.
I can't imagine.
(TURNS UP VOLUME)
If you put one finger
on the radio,
I'll cut it off.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Amaya.
Here.
Let her eat and
then cuff her again.
Is Capece coming?
I don't know.
Why?
No reason.
I'll talk to him later.
What's wrong?
You don't trust me?
We trust you.
They said he went out.
Just for a few hours.
Do you think my brother
would make you do
something that would
jeopardize you?
Okay, fine.
But you can't tell anyone.
I'd like for us to
talk a little
and for you to tell me
about yourself
and your interests
so that I know
how I can help you.
You want me to tell you
about myself?
Mmm-hmm.
Honestly,
I prefer the women to talk
and for me to listen.
At least on the first date.
This isn't a date.
This is an interview
between an inmate
and a social worker.
Do you have a profession?
No.
I read that you didn't
finish high school.
Would you like to finish it?
No.
Why not?
There are a lot of inmates
that take advantage
of this program.
They're very satisfied,
some even decide
to pursue a degree.
Maybe, but that's
not my case.
Okay, let's talk about
your time here.
I saw that you were
in the courtyard and that
you were adapting well.
The next step is to move on
to a cell block.
I'm not sure if you've seen
the different cell blocks.
If there is a group that
you feel an affinity with.
I'm not interested
in any groups.
Fine.
From what I can see,
you're not interested
in anything.
I'll complete some
questions so we can finish
the interview.
You know, some inmates
take advantage of
this time in their lives
to change,
grow or reflect.
To become better people.
You honestly think that a
man can save himself here?
Yes, of course. You don't?
Here a thief becomes
more of a thief
and a murderer
more of a murderer.
Do you think that
with a theater workshop
you're going to change
the garbage here?
We obviously
don't think the same.
Either way, you're right.
We can't help everyone.
Some people are
not worth the time.
I'll see you next Thursday,
same time.
I'm sorry I have
to bug you again,
but I have to.
You can go.
Morci, treat us
to something?
It's Cesar's birthday.
"Morci"?
That's "Mr. Morcilla,"
you assholes.
There are no birthdays here.
Months and weeks
don't exist.
The whole year is
the same fucking day,
over and over again.
The sun rises and
then it's night. That's it.
Get out of here.
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
Here. Make them last.
Three beers? That's it?
They're warm on top
of it all.
Come on, don't be a rat.
Give us something more.
Use your imagination.
Here a rotten potato
can turn into a bird.
A clean black ass
can turn into a beautiful
blonde pussy.
Shut up, you're fat.
Don't pretend to
be a ladies' man.
When I came here,
I was thinner than you.
But I ate so many niggers,
and now I look like this.
And I'm still hungry.
Come on, give us
a few beers more,
and a card.
It's Cesar's birthday.
Do I look like a charity?
Come on, a card. Come on.
I don't set the prices.
A card lasts an hour.
If you give 10 minutes
of ass,
that could get you
60 minutes of business.
We'll give you
60 kicks in the ass.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Ugly fag.
Eat shit.
They all say the same thing,
but the same thing happens.
Our cell block
has the last turn
at the cafeteria.
Do you want to know
what we eat?
Nothing.
And if they do
give us something,
do you know what it is?
Have you ever eaten
the food here?
How can I help you?
I asked if you've ever
eaten here.
You know that I haven't.
It's shit.
It's even worse if they
scratch the bottom
of the pot
to give us what's left.
I'm putting the brakes
on the mess here.
I'm here to negotiate.
Are you going
to do anything?
I'll escalate the issue
to the director,
let's see what he says.
Take it to the director.
Don't promise something
you're not going to do.
Do you know what
a rebellion is?
Yes, of course.
Have you experienced it?
Do you want anything else?
Nothing else.
Do you know what
the gringos call
a fake umbrella?
What?
Unbrella.
(LAUGHING)
You don't know English.
"Umbrella" is for the rain.
INMATE: Morcilla only
gave us three beers.
I'm sick of him.
We need to get him.
Calm down.
Did you get the card?
INMATE: No.
Here. There's a little bit
of credit left.
Wait. I'll give it to you,
but what will you give me?
Come on. Don't be upset.
You know what things
cost around here.
I'm not just
giving him a card,
I'm denying myself
talking to my family.
It's the only thing I have.
Are these Fiorella's?
If Morcilla sees me
with these, he'll take them.
He won't touch you.
(PEDRO LAUGHS)
Do you want them?
(ALL LAUGHING)
AUTOMATED VOICE:
The cellular phone
you are calling is
either turned off
or out of the area...
How are you?
Everything all right?
Good?
Good. You?
Everything's good.
WOMAN ON PHONE:
Palacio Studios,
good afternoon.
PASTOR: I'd like to speak
to Fernando Palacios.
WOMAN ON PHONE:
He's not here.
Who's calling?
Tell him his brother called.
Tell him to call me.
Is there a problem?
No, everything's fine.
DIOS:
Those lawyers are ulcers,
worse than rapists.
But they wear
a suit and tie.
I'm sure he told you,
"Don't say anything,
deny everything,"
and he buried you.
Right?
You know it.
See?
Here, lawyers
won't save you.
Neither will laws. Nothing.
Here, loyalty saves you.
Okay.
You need to be
grateful to me.
Why?
What do you mean, "why"?
Why do you think
they took you out
of the bunker so quickly?
Because of God?
Thank you.
Don't worry.
I won't charge you.
It's free.
Unless I look like a lawyer?
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you.
Hello.
How are you?
Are you cleaning
your locker?
I should do the same.
Cleaning?
I'm taking everything out.
Now that I know
anyone can come
and inspect your things.
That only happened once.
It doesn't matter,
it's enough.
Doesn't it bother you
that anyone can open
your locker?
I'm sorry,
I had an interview with
an awful new inmate.
A show-off who thinks
he's the only one locked up.
It's filled with them.
But if they're going
to affect your mood...
What are you going to do?
All of a sudden,
I look like the one
with experience
and you're new.
No, but this guy
was different.
Was he cute?
I don't know. I didn't look.
Come on,
it's just the two of us.
I didn't look.
I'm not interested.
I'm not telling you
to check him out,
but you're telling me
that in all this time,
you've never liked anyone?
Never! You shouldn't play
with that, seriously.
Do you want to fall
in love with someone?
Here's a photo of my cat.
Mmm.
(LAUGHS)
LUCRECIA: There's a problem
with the wife of one
of the inmates
who came for a visit.
They can't find him.
ANTIN: Who is the inmate?
LUCRECIA: Gustavo Sosa.
I want you to go tell her
the director wants
to speak with her.
Bring her here
and I'll explain.
After that,
I have to go run an errand.
It won't be long,
an hour and a half.
Fine. An hour and a half.
Fortunately, your husband
is getting better.
They ran a diagnostic.
He's sick
with a complicated case
of gastroenteritis.
We had to hydrate him
through an IV.
An IV?
Yes.
Is it bad?
(TIRE SCREECHING)
No, not anymore.
He's past the tricky part.
They just called from
the hospital saying
that they want
to send him back.
I told them to keep him
for one more day.
Which hospital is he in?
Can I visit him?
If we officially report
that there is an inmate
with gastroenteritis...
Board meetings, checks,
reports, bureaucracy...
A mess!
I want to compensate you,
something small.
I said, "What should
I do with Mrs. Sosa?
"Since she came all this
way, I want her to have
this money."
Take them, as compensation.
In the meantime,
I promise that when
your husband is back,
I'll give him a card
so that he can call you.
Thank you.
And this stays between us.
You want cash?
I can give you cash.
For good work.
I'm very much
in love with you.
LUCRECIA: You don't
have to lie to me.
I swear to God.
You're very horny.
This isn't love.
It looks a little like love,
but it's not love.
It's pure love, Lucre.
Don't be a skeptic.
You're the love of my life.
Okay.

Do you want some?
(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)
Turn that off, you cunt.

MORCILLA: How awful, Pedro.
Do you want a drink, too?
He's a child.
Go, Morcilla, come on.
What the fuck did you do?
Stop, son of a bitch.
What the fuck is
wrong with you?
(ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Bye, Morci.
Now.
You're scum.
(WHISTLING)
(ALL CHEERING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
ANTIN: How is it that
six fucking idiots
control your courtyard?
My courtyard?
Yes, yours.
What about you?
What? They never stole
anything from me.
It's Morcilla's fault.
Everything fell apart
under him.
He's on his way out.
What about your night watch?
Talk about collaboration!
Fags.
Don't blame the guards,
they get paid shit.
Be thankful that
they closed off the hallway
to the cell blocks,
because if they got
to the fags' cell,
it wouldn't stop.
We'd be empanada filling,
like in Sierra Chica.
They stole 50 phone cards.
Those sons of bitches.
I'm going to spend
the whole month
watching those idiots
from the courtyard talking
on the phone for free.
(GRUNTS)
Listen.
What do you know
about Sosa?
Did you talk to his wife?
What do you know about him?
Where is he?
It's like I told you.
Do you know
anything or not?
It's like I told you.
What?
He went home...
Yes.
One of his kids was sick,
so he decided to stay
a few more days.
Tell me, Mario,
did you talk
to Sosa directly?
Or did you speak
to his wife?
No, I called her at work
because their house phone
isn't working.
Oh, okay.
That's great.
So you believe that
he's going to come back
and everything
will be great?
Everything's good.
Sosa's a good father
and he's being responsible
at home with his kids.
He's a good guy.
Call me if you
need anything.
Obviously.
(DOOR CLOSES)
MORCILLA: Hurry up.
What a disaster
those assholes left.
I'm going to make them
shit fire.
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
Be careful.
We've already lost enough.
I'm going to talk to Mario.
They'll get what's coming
to them.
What the fuck are you
laughing at?
Nothing.
I'm sure you had something
to do with this.
Me? No.
You did this to yourself.
It wouldn't have hurt you
to give them a few beers.
At least not fuck them
with the price.
Don't come here,
advising me how
to run my business.
Me advise you? No.
I can see you have
everything under control.
Mario wants to talk to you.
Tell him I'm coming.
No, Morcilla.
He's looking for him.

Girl.
Breakfast.
Girl.
Hey, girl!
Girl!
Fuck.
Amaya.
Come here.
Amaya.
What's wrong?
She's dead.
What do you mean,
she's dead?
Your problem
is that you don't
psychoanalyze people.
I know you laugh because
I go to a psychologist.
But therapy teaches you
how to see more.
You can size people up
right away.
Look at Freud, here.
All right, so who would
you put in charge of
controlling those assholes?
Hi.
What's your name?
Pastor Pena.
Did you see that we have
a mess in the courtyard?
Dios says that you could
take care of it.
If Dios says so.
What my brother
is trying to say is...
We want you
to take Morcilla's spot
in the courtyard.
We want you
to be part of the gang
and to take care of
the business down there.
What's with the face,
my friend?
Do you want to work
with us or not?
That's why I'm here.
She has a pulse.
You made me shit
my pants.
Go get Borges.
Go get a doctor.
We see that the guys
respect you.
It's not easy to get them
to like you right away.
Aside from
watching our store,
you can watch over
those morons
so they don't do shit
like last night.
That can't happen again.
I recommend dishing out
a few slaps when necessary,
as a friend.
Get in their heads.
Okay.
There's a problem
with Luna.
Sit down. Do you want
to play PlayStation?
Shit, she's not responding.
What's wrong, angel?
Are you sure you didn't
hear anything strange
last night?
No, I was outside and
I looked in once in a while.
Give me the tray.
Come on, respond, beauty.
The doctor is coming.
Borges, the doctor
is taking too long.
Okay, let me know
and we'll go get him
at the entrance
to the workshop.
Perfect.
The doctor is on his way.
Amaya is hysterical.
I know, he's a pussy.
Fix this,
then get rid of him.
Okay.
Let me know
when Toro gets here.
Here we can do
what we like.
You can come here
to watch soccer
or whatever you want.
We've got a porn channel.
If not, ask Pancho.
(LAUGHING)
This is like...
I'm not saying
it's like being outside.
It's not paradise,
but almost.
People pay a fortune, right?
Yeah...
To be somewhere like this,
with a TV.
With a PlayStation,
foosball, Ping-Pong.
Do you know how
to play Ping-Pong?
I manage.
Really?
I beat everyone.
He's my bitch.
(LAUGHING)
The only person
I can't beat is Mario.
Mario knows
how to play.
Maybe some let you win?
No, I don't think so.
Let's see, Pancho.
(SNORTS)
A snort?
No, thanks.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Okay.
ANTIN: How's it coming?
Will it be ready today?
If they bring the parts
that I ordered
before 3:00 or 4:00,
I can get it done
last-minute.
Don't bullshit.
Okay.
Listen, I want to tell you
something that stays
between the two of us.
A few days ago,
Sosa left with three guys,
and I can't find him.
Do you know anything?
Did you see anything?
A car come or go?
No, I just check the cars.
On Tuesday, two cars left
and two came back.
But if there is a guy
missing or an extra one,
I wouldn't know.
You don't know shit.
Whose car is that?
Some guy who came in
with Amaya.
Amaya.
So, what's your specialty?
What do you mean?
We already know
you can fight.
What else can you do
that could help us?
I can manage with anything.
That's good,
because there is
a lot of work here.
You can even bring work
to Mario,
we'll talk about it,
evaluate it.
Okay.
There's a lot of
possibility to grow.
That's good.
What's over there?
Nothing.
What's up?
What do you mean?
There is too much
going on there
for it to be nothing.
Since you're asking,
that's the door
to the old jail.
It's our free-trade zone.
That's good.
Shh.
DIOS: What's up?
Do you know where
your brother is?
I need to talk to him.
No.
If I were you,
I wouldn't show myself
for a few days.
I want to see
how we can fix things.
Don't worry
about it too much.
You're not in charge
anymore, Morcilla.
What do you mean,
I'm not in charge anymore?
(TUTTING)
Who's going to be in charge?
You guys are crazy.
We're going to try him out.
You guys are crazy,
you don't even know him.
I've been
with you for years,
you're totally nuts.
Don't pay attention to him.
Morcilla. Is there anything
left in the store?
A few beers to celebrate?
What a disaster.
It looks worse
in the daylight.
Hmm.
What are you reading?
A play.
For the theater workshop.
You like theater?
No.
I like the teacher.
What's up? Is everything
okay with us?
I don't know.
You're moving too quickly.
I don't want to be
a part of it when
they slice you up.
Why are you saying this?
News travels fast.
Is this about Morcilla?
I thought
you were different.
And now you're a traitor.
You switched gangs.
We were friends.
Are you going
to charge us
for the beers?
Look at him.
Borges' new pawn.
I'm not anyone's pawn.
Borges wants to avoid
problems because he knows
Morcilla acted badly.
He put me in his place
because he knows
we get along.
It's a sign of respect.
Oh, how nice. You know what?
Tell him to suck it.
Do you know how many times
they shit on us?
With everything.
With seizures. Drugs. Work.
Do what you want.
But if I were you,
I'd stay awake.
I'd take what's left
from the robbery
and I'd give it back.
Then I'd negotiate.
(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY)
Morcilla.
Shut your mouth.
Morcilla.
Shut your mouth.
Morcilla's here.
Shut your mouth,
fucking midget.
Morcilla!
You're going to end up
on fire in your mini
circus tent.
Get out of here.
Morcilla is here.
Look.
Here's the asshole.
INMATE 1: Fatty, come here.
INMATE 2: What's up, fag?
Come here, piece of shit.
MORCILLA:
No, get out of here.
Door!
Door!
Door!
(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(GROANS)
What happened?
Did you save your ass?
(LINE RINGING)
Hello.
Amaya, it's me, Antin.
Did you lose anything?
No, why?
Because I'm looking
at you sticking
your finger up your nose.
What the fuck
are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Come to my office.
I want to talk to you.
I'll see you there, boss.
And don't stop anywhere
along the way.
Come straight here.
I'm watching you
with the hallway monitors.
MARIO: It's too bad
he doesn't do social work.
Bringing him here
is going to cost me
a fortune.
Is it serious, Doctor?
Can we talk outside?
MARIO: Yes.
You're going
to be fine, beauty.
Look at how pretty you are,
if only I was
a few years younger.
I'll be back soon,
pretty girl.
This part of the jail
is completely abandoned.
You have to enter directly
through the Espora entrance.
The girl is there.
And you have to watch out
for the prison guards.
Fuck. If they're using
a fence in jail,
it means that
everyone knows.
The directors, the guards.
I don't know.
We have to act fast,
because there were strange
things happening around
the girl this morning.
Leave here
and call Lunati to
give him the information.
Hold on.
You're moving too quickly.
I have to tell you
something, too.
Your jaw is going to drop.
What?
Remember you told me
that some things
didn't make sense
with Lunati?
Yes.
That they kidnapped
his daughter.
That it's strange.
Yes.
I figured out
what's behind it all.
Cash, a lot of cash.
They're charging Lunati
a ransom for what
he stole from Borges.
It's more than $3 million.
(CHUCKLES)
What does that
have to do with us?
It's obvious.
Lunati doesn't think
we'll figure it out,
and that we'll give him
his daughter back
for the few pennies
we agreed to.
