Mario de Jesús,

Álvaro José,

Germán Alirio!

Grandpa, I'm sorry,

but he's not going to be named Bernardo Pompilio.

That's not a good name.

Well, whatever his name is,

the important thing here

I'm going to let my kid fly, fly high up in the sky.

How does that sound, Mommy?

Yepe!

What, do you think I'm just bullshitting?

I'm serious, Mommy.

Ever since you told me we were going to have a kid,

on top of what Mañe had said to me,

I've been thinking.

I swear I've understood that life goes beyond Tierra Alta.

It goes beyond Córdoba.

Life is all of this.

That's why I'm going to build a boat.

Stop!

What do you mean stop?

Stop!

Ok, wait.

Diana, wait.

Grandpa, I'm going to record for a moment. Wait for me there.

I don't know if it was just because I mentioned the boat,

and then she suddenly felt sick again.

The thing is, if we kept going like this, we would never get

to Tierra Alta.

Damn, she was always sick and nauseous.

Look, it would take 15 days to get there.

Well, it's not like I had a problem with that.

I had nothing to do there.

In fact, I didn't even have a job.

What worried me was my grandfather.

Because in the state he was in and with this heat,

I didn't know how much longer he was going to hold on.

Yepes!

Sweetie, mommy.

Are you okay?

Can we talk?

Yes, but let's go.

No, wait. Listen to me, please.

Apparently, it can't wait, right?

But what about you? Are you okay?

Something's wrong with you. Say whatever you want.

I'm glad you're taking it that way.

I don't want to go back to Tierra Alta.

But I know why that is.

Yes?

Yes, I know it's because of this motorcycle that I'm

driving like madman.

But mommy, you have to understand that I've never

driven a motorcycle taxi.

But I promise you that in the curve over there I'll start to

slow down.

Bernardo, I don't want to live with you anymore.

I'm really sorry.

Seriously.

But honey, I apologize for the money thing.

What do you want me to do?

Huh? You want me to turn myself in to the police?

Bernardo, the decision has been made.

And I hope you respect it, okay?

Mañe did tell me you wanted to leave.

And I didn't want to believe him.

But I don't care.

What is it with this car, honking and honking?

What's wrong, man?

Go through us, then, goddamn!

Shit!

It's Mañe.

Hey, bro!

What are you doing here?

Oh, it's Mañe.

Well, when I saw the motorcycle, I knew it was you.

So I got off at once and I'm glad I wasn't wrong, right?

In the end, I knew I was going to run into you.

I just didn't imagine it would be so quickly.

Hey, really, that motorcycle's no good, huh?

Come on, Mommy, were you crying?

Oh, don't tell me you were crying for me.

Didn't you say you'd found the love of your life, or whatever,

that you were going to stay here?

So much beauty was too good to be true, bro. What I mean

is that I put everything on a

scale, and guess who won? You! So, we're leaving, ha-

ha! I'm sorry to put the foot on the gas but we must.

We must. Oh, son of a bitch. What's up, old man? Hey, the

old man is starting to smell kind of rancid, isn't he?

Is that why you're always feeling sick?

It was 360 kilometers that we had to cover.

Goddamn, and as soon as possible.

A real race against time.

So we decided, the three of us,

that we were going to take turns to drive

and in that way not stop.

Or at least, not stop too often.

Sorry.

Girl!

Girl!

Hey, honey!

Hey, honey!

You're good?

Yes, I am.

But actually good, not like the other five times you stopped?

Are you okay?

Your face is not very convincing.

Mañe!

Mañe, listen!

We have to go!

Besides, there in the back...

It's hot as hell.

There's no fan or anything.

I think he's not listening to you.

Wait, wait.

These girls are coming through.

Look at him.

Hey, Emanuel.

Shit, we're stuck here.

Wait a minute.

Mañe...

There was no doubt that the trip had changed us all.

It had changed our lives.

Starting with my grandfather.

In any case, there was no time to find out.

I had to captain the ship. At the pace we were going, the

owners of the money that we stole, the guy from legal

medicine from where we took my grandfather's body, or

even the owner motorcycle taxi herself, would

have caught up to us.

We had so many people after us, but hey, we finally reached our

destination.

We did it!

Wow!

We're here, Mañe.

No.

No.

If you'll excuse me, this is the best we can offer you.

That's the vault I want for my grandfather.

He always wanted to live as high off the ground as could be.

Yes, give me this one, ma'am. Where do I sign?

Here, please.

Excuse me for a second, beautiful Alma, give me a

moment, please.

Come here.

Let's see, what are you going to do, brother?

What do you mean what am I going to do? Buy

my grandfather the vault he deserves.

Besides, look, it could even be with one of these caskets,

so my old man rests in peace,

happy, and above all, closer to Mamá Tila.

Yes? And what are you going to pay with? Huh? With

songs, or what, daddy?

I didn't think about that, man. What you're saying is true.

I'm going to make them hire an orchestra.

And you know what? Not just any orchestra.

The best orchestra in all of Tierra Alta and its surroundings.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you crazy?

What the hell are you talking about?

My grandfather deserves the best.

I know he deserves the best.

I would even kiss the old man's asscheeks.

But no, but no.

Let's see, how are you going to pay, brother?

We don't have enough for La Llorona to mourn him, brother.

With the house. -What? -And the house would also be enough for

me to buy this one here, look, it looks nice.

How are you going to sell the house, brother? It's

the only thing you have!

Keep it down, Mañe!

Damn!

It doesn't matter. If it's the only thing I have, I'll sell it,

so that my grandfather can rest in peace. Why would I want such

a big house if he's not in there?

Why would I want it, tell me? I have to give him a good burial,

a good vault, a good casket.

In fact, I've already decided, goddammit.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Where do I sign?

May I, please?

You may, please.

Is it okay here?

Here, please. There's fine.

Bernardo...

The time to say goodbye had come. So, so many unforgettable

moments where those

I lived next to you, that trying to remember them all at

this moment would not only be endless, but

an infinite sadness.

Oh, grandpa,

how I miss, for example,

when you put a pencil in my hand

to teach me to read and write.

Because, as you said,

"my grandson has to be

the most literate."

"Junior, your dad!"

Those were the first

words you made me learn

and I never knew what it was

to be literate.

I will always miss you, grandpa.

I have no doubt that my grandfather, wherever he is,

was going to be happy,

starting because he is going to meet again with the great love

of his life,

Mamá Tila.

While those of us who stay here on earth have to set foot in

the sad reality,

a reality that did not take long to arrive and hit me

directly in the head.

I'm so sorry about Papa Pompi.

Really.

You know, I loved him a lot.

When I heard the news, I don't know how to describe it.

It was... a horrible blow for me.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Whatever you need...

Money, a friend, a shoulder to cry on,

you can count on me, count on me for whatever...

Don't worry, I don't think Diana will get mad or upset, or

am I wrong?

No.

Of course not.

At least this time it didn't come as a surprise.

When a woman says no, it's a yes.

And when she says yes, it's a no.

Especially Diana.

When she says no, it's a yes.

Just by telling you that she never went home again.

With the only pretext that I was going to sell it.

But I was going to sell it because I wanted a future with

her.

With our kid, man.

Buddy, give me a boli.

That's why I was going to do the impossible to get her back.

Thank you, my brother.

Imagine, who could it be?

Hi, girls! I'm Giselita!

And I'm here to pick up my mom!

Honey, I swear it wasn't my fault.

I don't know why Salua went to the cemetery.

Besides, she told me a bunch of things that I don't know why!

I swear I haven't seen her since we saw her in Lorica.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Bernardo, maybe it's for the best.

Maybe you don't want to see it, but if you're with her, she

might make you very happy.

Maybe you're the one who doesn't want to see it.

Because I'm only happy by your side, honey. I love you, woman.

When are you going to understand that I just want to

be with you and Jesús Pompilio?

Your grandfather and my grandfather.

Besides, mom, I'm already selling the house.

Do you remember I told you I was going to do it?

I even have a possible buyer.

As soon as I sell it, my dear, I'm going to buy you the boat

you wanted.

Do you remember? That's what we dreamed of.

And let's go, let's go up to Panama.

No? And then let's keep going until we reach Costa Rica.

We'll go, if you want, to the end of the world, my love.

Oh, Bernardo, stop dreaming!

Life is not like you see it.

It seems like you live in the world of Peter Pan.

Can you let me work?

Okay, but what a coincidence, today I feel like getting a

haircut.

And I want the young lady here, if she may be so gentle and

kind, to cut it for me. Thank you.

I will say...

You can forbid whatever you want,

but my being able to see my kid, goddammit.

And I'm going to be there at the medical appointment,

in his first check-up.

So, either we meet there or I pick you up.

You decide.

And how do you know that today is his first check-up?

Ah, right. Rumours have legs.

But it's not a rumour.

I have the right.

I don't even have to ask you for permission.

I can do it, it's my right.

In fact, it's more than a right.

It's an obligation.

And it's not that I'm obligated to do it.

No, no, I really enjoy that stage of being a father to this

kid.

Today at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Three o'clock in the afternoon?

I'll see you there?

Oh, you see, I just remembered

that I got a haircut about two or three days ago.

I'll come later for the haircut.

But I am going to leave Giselita here, you hear?

So that you treat her well and give her a hair treatment.

And you and I will meet at three o'clock in the afternoon,

okay?

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Don't bail on me.

See you later, ma'am.

Mañe, where were you?

Bro, I have an answer to that.

The thing is that...

Let's see, cutie.

I do have to work because I don't have an inheritance, bro.

Oh, and I do?

There's no flowers without a garden, man.

Get out, get out.

Go, go, I'm late for the appointment.

Wait a minute, dickface.

Why don't you go on another means of transport?

For example, a scooter and you go like this,

Ah, because it happens that this means of transport

goes back to Barranquilla, to its owner,

because it's neither yours nor mine, goddammit.

Besides, that way we avoid one more problem, you know?

And I promised my girl, too.

Oh, your girl, your girl, your girl, your girl, your girl.

I'm tired of you and your girl, really.

Why don't you want to understand, pretty boy,

that that money was wasted, brother?

It's going to be wasted if I don't get to the appointment

quickly.

So how am I going to go?

In two legs?

Or with Nando, dude.

What I want to tell you is that I'm fed up, you know?

I'm fed up of everyone being after us.

But...

Oh, son of a bitch! You stepped. ..

Yepes!

What's up, partner?

Are you looking after the money?

Look how far I had to come to get it.

And what had to happen, happened.

The past was coming for us.

And I mean, all of us.

Diana, Mañe, even for me.

Because no one was safe.

The three of us had to assume the consequences of all that.

Stop!

Hey!

Man!

Stop, man!

Hey!

Man!

Stop, brother, I'm telling you!

Diana Cecilia Ávila? -That's me.

Please, come with me.

Is the dad with you?

No.

No, I'm on my own.

Please follow me.

Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop!

Hey! Stop!

Make him stop before he gets away!

Stop it, man!

Stop it, man!

Hey!

Stop it, man!

Stop it, man!

At that moment,

nothing could be worse.

I was disappointing Diana again.

And now, look,

it's over.

It's over.

And she was right.

Goddamn, I try to be a good man, promising to take her to her

first medical check-up.

So she could give me another chance.

To gain her trust.

But oh well, I never got there.

Although it was the best thing that could have happened,

because on the other hand...

The guys whom I owed were looking for me, and when they

found me?

It was going to be the last time I was going to have my

head on my shoulders.

But the unthinkable happened.

That's how far the race got.

Though I didn't know if I should laugh or cry.

Police! Police!

Thank God I found you, police!

I stole that motorcycle taxi! I brought it from Barranquilla!

Stay right there! Don't move!

But take it easy, brother!

I didn't really steal it, in that sense of the word!

What's up, commander?

Don't call anyone!

I'm not a criminal, I just borrowed it!

Just without permission, you know?

Put the gun down, I'm from here, from Tierra Alta, Córdoba!

Ok, ok, fine, fine.

Police, it's fine.

I don't know where to start.

It's not good news?

The truth is, it's not.

Is my baby sick?

There is no baby. You are not pregnant, Diana, and everything

seems to indicate that you haven't been.

Did you know?

Let me tell you something, doctor. I was the first

one to believe I wasn't.

It's just that there was no reason to be there, believe me.

You're telling me that you're married, right?

Yes, newly married, really.

And I just got back from our honeymoon.

But my husband and I are, intimately?

Nothing.

That's a longer story.

You're not going to believe me, believe me.

My husband is crazy.

But then I don't understand what's going on.

Why did you think you were pregnant?

Because I've been feeling really bad.

Look, I've been feeling so sick.

And besides, the pregnancy test came out positive.

That's exactly what worries me.

Those home tests are not infallible.

But when they fail, they fail by giving false negatives.

The person is pregnant and the device says she's not.

Then, everything is fine.

Uh-huh, but in my case, which is the other way around, it

came out positive, so what happens?

First, I'm going to run some tests.

But tell me, is something wrong?

As I was saying, first, the specialist has to see you.

Oh, please.

Things may not be working as they should.

We're not talking about a flu or a stomach ache, are we?

I'm afraid not. It could be something serious, but we have

to wait.

Confirmed! If we were bad before, now we're really bad.

I don't know when it all came crashing down! But I have to

admit that when I turned myself in to the police...

...shit, I'm talking like a criminal.

Well, that was "Yepes, the prisoner."

Fuck, because as soon as I put my hands on the cops, they

dragged me straight to jail...

just by saying that the lawyer said, "now with the respective

and exhaustive investigation..."

I don't know what else he said.

The only thing is that this worked so that Pacheco and his

accomplice

would not any more holes in me than costeño cheese.

But just for the moment, because they were not going to

rest,

until they got their hands on me.

Just like Diana, who was angry because I did not accompany her

to the medical appointment.

She must feel like throwing a bunch of crocodiles my way.

Which is how I came to the conclusion

that I was better off inside than outside

of jail.

Officer! Wait, wait!

Can I ask you a favor?

What?

Can you tell...

Who?

Diana, but no...

No, rather, bury that key well,

so no one finds it, please.
