Original subtitles

-Hi. -Good morning.

-You can't use this, miss. -Oh, Mom!

No, you can't wear this to school.

No, I don't want any.

What do you mean? Of course you'll eat it.

-One more. Hurry. -No.

Uncle Benja, will our neighbours come to our party?

Are neighbours family?

Then they won't.

-OK, help me. -Come on, brother-in-law.

-It's getting late. -I'll put this in the fridge.

Let's go.

You didn't eat your fruit.

I gave her a piece, that'll be enough.

-Let's go. -Kiss, kiss!

Button up your sweater.

You won't go out like that.

But it's hot!

-Bye, Mom. -Good luck with your test.

-I'll be back so we can go. -Yes, fine.

-Don't you leave me alone. -No, no.

-OK, OK, OK. -Go, honey.

Such an idiot, I forgot the car keys.

Who's nervous about the proposal?

Hey, I'll give you more money in case...

you need it to buy more meat, beers...

I don't want them saying we are stingy.

Don't worry. Everything is under control.

Another thing...

What?

Are you OK?

I am, are you?

Yeah.

-I love you. -Me too.

Bye.

I'll make you look good with your parents-in-law.

Don't you worry!

Let's put some music on...

That's it.

Good morning.

In her will, your grandmother stated

that the building where you live is for you two.

I've checked all the documents

and everything is in order.

You just have to sign...

here,

here,

and here.

When everything is signed,

we'll get it notarized,

and everything will be set.

What about Abel?

She left nothing for him?

Abel is our older brother.

He... couldn't come.

I understand, but, in the will,

only you two are mentioned.

OK, but there must be a way to give him something...

-What? -The room on the roof.

What? Are you crazy? What are you saying?

He could help us manage the building.

A criminal managing your properties?

Are you for real?

I'll give you a moment.

I'll be right back.

-Excuse me. -Sorry...

I can't believe you want Abel near.

It's better if he's near,

so we can keep an eye on him.

If he's away, he can catch us off guard.

No! No, I don't want him near me.

I don't want to see him.

It's not his fault, Nancy.

They fucked up his life.

Grandma was super hard on him.

Do you remember that she chained him up

so he wouldn't bother her?

He was chained up because he deserved it.

It's good that you remember what she did to Abel

and not what she did to you

and to me.

That was years ago, Nancy.

We're not kids anymore.

-Want one? -Nah.

I'm good, bro.

You are a bottomless barrel.

I have my reasons

to do it.

You wouldn't understand.

So mysterious.

Understand what, man?

Why would I tell you everything, man?

No way.

Hi, Nancy, what's up?

Abel is outside.

Abel?

Yes, yes! Here! Outside of the building!

Why didn't they tell us they released him?

Hey, come here!

My brother!

What are you doing sitting here?

The staircase has always been my spot

since I was a child.

When that old lady kicked me out, remember?

Being locked up makes you old.

Don't look at me like that.

Do you really think I'll make a fuss

because you never visited?

I wouldn't have gone either if I was you.

So what?

Let's celebrate.

Now that we are together.

Even if it is with that old lady.

Nancy!

You look good!

Abel.

I knocked.

Why didn't you open?

Hey.

So...

now that Grandma is gone,

what will we do with the building?

How did she die?

Did that fucker suffer?

I wish she did.

She deserved it, damn asshole.

Don't talk like that.

She raised us three on her own,

and you didn't make things easy.

What?

Are you still scared of her?

Scared? No, I felt sorry for her.

Sorry?

She felt sorry!

Do you think she felt sorry for you

when she hit you open handed?

When she called you a pig?

Give me that.

You won't eat it, right?

May I? Yeah?

The room on the roof is yours.

The maintenance room.

It has the best view of all.

Sure.

And now you'll say that everything else is yours.

Believe it or not, she left everything to us.

We redid the first floor so Nancy, the girls

Tomás and I lived together.

We are leasing out

the two apartments on the second floor.

Benja!

I go a few years,

and now there's a little Tomás...

What?

Did you become a homo? Do you have a boyfriend or what?

You're an asshole.

Tomás is Nancy's husband.

Your late brother-in-law was killed in a robbery.

Don't play fool. I'm sure you already knew.

No!

Really, I didn't know.

I am truly sorry.

So?

You were alone with the girls...

vulnerable.

You wanted some heat.

And, as fast as you could,

you got a replacement, fucking whore.

Hey, no! Wait!

Calm down!

Please!

We're here now, the three of us.

Without Grandma.

-Let's have a fresh start. -No, if Abel wants

to be a part of this family

he'll have to behave like a gentleman.

Yes.

Of course.

Yes.

Hey, kids...

this is the plan.

We sell the two apartments on the second floor,

and we split the money between the three of us.

No, no, no. Let me make myself clear,

Grandma didn't leave anything to you!

She died happy knowing you were locked up!

Don't you understand that?

She left everything to us.

And it is us who will let you live here.

So you have to make a choice,

either the room or the streets.

I told you! Stop fucking with us!

I you don't get it, you'll be out on your ear.

Fucking asshole!

Everything is different.

Those two are occupied now.

We fixed this bathroom.

-You changed the colour, right? -Yes.

It's this one.

You mean the janitor's room?

We fixed the leaks

and the mildew on the floor.

Well, we spruced it up.

You'll be comfortable here.

If we knew you would come back so soon

we would have kept the furniture for you.

And my furniture?

Grandma gave it away.

Do you remember the janitor?

He had an exotic girlfriend.

A super hot busty blond

with a great ass. He fucked her here.

Please, have some respect for your neighbours.

Sure.

Neighbours!

Fuck...

your mother deserves respect.

Fine, little sis.

Fine.

I'll follow...

all your rules.

If you promise that I get something in return.

We weren't expecting any less, you fucker.

What do you want?

I want what belongs to me.

Half of the money of the leased apartments.

And I promise I'll behave like an angel.

I'll say "good morning",

I'll help you carry your groceries,

-you know. -You make me sick.

You're a douche bag.

A third

and that's it.

It's what's fair.

Fair?

I don't believe it.

What's up with her?

Let's go get some beers.

No, they're waiting for me on my job...

Come, hey, hey, hey.

Today's a special day, I just got out.

No, Abel.

-See you later. -You're a pussy.

This one is with a "c".

Change it.

Abela and Abelina?

Those are not our names.

No?

That's a shame.

Because I had...

two lollipops for Abela and Abelina,

but if they're not here, then...

I'll take them away.

I don't eat lollipops, they give me cavities.

But you can give them to me.

It's so nice to finally meet you,

brother-in-law!

Say hi to him.

-Tom... -Tomás.

-Tommy! -Yeah!

Hey, that's good, huh?

So young!

Come, confess to the Father.

Ask him for advice, I'm sure he'll help you.

Nancy, good morning.

-Good morning, Father. -How's everything at your house?

Fine, thank you. He is my brother Abel.

Abel, nice to meet you.

Abel has a problem, Father, and...

and he would like to talk about it with you.

Yes, of course, gladly.

This way, son, please.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail, Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us sinners.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us sinners...

Have you thought about how you'll make a living?

I'll live off of the leased apartments.

Yeah.

I have a place to sleep.

But you have to do something.

Are you gonna stay in the room sleeping all day long?

If I need to...

-I can work with Benja. -No.

No, that's not a good idea.

I don't know, you could...

you could go to Uncle Miguel's ranch,

to harvest agave.

You just have to go away for a few months.

It doesn't matter what it pays.

Come on, little sis.

I just arrived, and you're throwing me out,

-un-fucking-believable. -Stop with your bullshit.

Tell me, how was your talk with the Father?

Why don't you get it?

First, I have to get used to freedom

because I never had any.

Neither with my asshole dad or that old lady.

They say jail is harsh.

Are you feeling guilty?

After living with Grandma,

jail was a piece of cake.

Stop looking at my daughters like that.

If you touch them, I'll cut your balls

with these scissors while you sleep.

Do I make myself clear, asshole?

Since you're asking me politely, yes, sis.

Hey, hey, hey.

Wait, wait, wait. Hey.

Don't go.

Some coffee?

Do you want some coffee? Give me a minute.

Here.

When you're locked up,

you have a lot of time to think.

And I thought of...

all that...

that happened, and...

what I did to you?

I know I hurt you.

I know it.

And I try to control my demons,

you know them already.

These things that go through my mind.

That's why I do drugs.

To control them

and to stop me from doing stupid things.

I hallucinate.

What did you want after all that shit you take?

Do you forgive me, little sis?

Do you really regret it?

Hey, do you know where Abel is?

I haven't seen him in a couple of days.

Hey, why don't you go get him out of his room

while we're out

so you can do something together?

Oh, so...

on top of everything I have to babysit him?

No way. He's not that important.

He is to me.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe he needs to be enclosed.

He said himself that this feeling of freedom

wasn't easy.

He doesn't want to talk to anyone.

What should I know?

What if he's doing drugs?

What if he OD'd and he's dead up there?

Don't say shit.

As long as he's not here bothering us,

he can die.

Plus, you brought him here.

You brought him into our lives.

You deal with him.

Tell me something.

Why is it that, since Abel came back,

you never brought Mónica to the house again?

You didn't break up, did you?

I don't know what you mean.

She just hasn't come.

What are you afraid of?

I'm not afraid of anything.

Of course you are.

You're afraid of him humiliating you in front of her.

You're afraid of him beating you up.

What are you two gossiping about?

Oh, my wife! So beautiful!

Eat your breakfast, it's getting late.

Silvia!

If you don't come out now, you'll have to walk!

What's up with you?

What's the hurry?

And that skirt?

You won't go to school dressed like that.

Why can't I dress however I want?

You can dress how you want to,

but not like this.

But all my friends in school dress like this.

If your friends dress like whores,

it's not your problem.

This is humiliating, honey.

You are unique, you're special.

Don't let other people make your decisions.

But if you make my decisions,

you're not allowing me to be who I want to be.

OK, sit with me.

Honey, tell me something...

if someone hurt you, you'd tell me, right?

If...

If someone... a person, a man...

touched you...

caressed you, you'd tell me, right?

No, no. Don't be scared.

Don't be scared. No, no.

Let's do this.

When you come back,

the two of us will fix that skirt.

OK?

Smile.

Good. OK, go have breakfast.

Go on.

Hello.

Are Eva and Silvia home?

-I want to play with them. -Sure.

-Come on in. -Thank you.

I'm here, girls. Betty is here.

-Hi. -Hi, Betty!

Don't you want to play outside?

No, I want to play inside.

Thank you very much.

Fine.

Let's play hot potato.

Hot potato, hot potato

Hot potato, hot potato

-One, two, three! -One, two, three!

Hot potato, hot potato

Hot potato, hot potato...

Hot potato, hot potato

- One, two, three! - One, two, three!

Look, look, look.

-That's horrible. -Look.

Look at this one.

Hot potato, hot potato...

Girls!

I'll be right back. Don't open the door!

-OK. -OK.

Abel?

Abel?

Abel?

Betty?

The water is ready!

Nancy! Where were you?

We've been looking for you for hours!

-What happened? -I'm sorry, baby.

I lost track of time.

But...

why do you look so upset? Are you OK?

You left the girls by themselves,

what happened?

-Give me a moment. -Honey...

Honey?

Did she pee herself?

Girls,

where's Betty?

She left a while ago.

Honey, what's going on? Where are you going?

Where...? Can you take care of them?

-Of course. -I'll see what's going on.

What's wrong with Mom?

She's fine.

Tell your sister to go get her backpack,

-We're going to do homework. -Yes.

Is Betty back?

Yes.

You left this in the house.

No... that's not mine.

It's not?

-No. -I thought it was.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon.

Thanks.

You're a pig.

A pig! You pissed yourself!

Nancy, what's with you?

What's going on? You're worrying me.

-What's going on, Nancy? -No...

I was scared because I thought

the girl went out of the building.

I was so scared.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yes, yes.

-I'm fine. -Is that all?

That's all.

That's all, yes. Let's go.

Come on.

Yummy.

Can you tell us why are you so upset?

Can you pass me the salsa, please?

Because of Uncle Abel.

Silvia, don't talk with your mouth full.

Honey, I left the kid's milk in the kitchen,

-can you help me? -Of course.

Mom, why don't you like Uncle Abel?

He's really funny.

And look what he gave me!

But I don't like the way he touches me

when we play.

When did you see him? He's been in his room.

-Careful. -Sorry.

Hey, girls, here's your milk.

Thanks.

Eat, eat.

What's happening? What's with you?

What's with you, honey?

Are you OK?

-What's wrong? -Nothing...

I thought I was pregnant, but, once again, I wasn't.

-No! -That's it.

OK, but you'll also eat your beans, right?

-Here. -What will you like?

Mommy, stop.

When Uncle Abel touches you...

what does he do to you?

Does he hug you?

And what else?

He smells me.

He smells you?

Where?

Only there?

Because I run, as Silvia told me to do.

Sleep tight.

Benjamín, I need you to help me report Abel.

What?

We need to keep him away of the girls.

The girls? Why?

He's abusing Betty. The girl from the second floor.

How do you know?

Did she tell you?

Benjamín, she's a child!

She doesn't know what's going on.

She only knows that what's happening is not OK.

But she doesn't say anything.

Because she's ashamed, or who knows.

She tries with Eva too, that fucking asshole.

But she runs away because Silvia told her to.

Benjamín, I found Betty's pissed underwear

hidden behind the sink.

So what?

She pissed herself, that doesn't prove anything.

What more evidence do you need?

Nancy...

you're imagining things.

It's just some underwear.

Maybe nothing's going on.

-You'll traumatize her. -No, no, no!

It's not "just some underwear".

It's the way she behaves, Benjamín.

The fear in her eyes.

Did you know she didn't go back to school?

Did you know she cries

every times she's with the girls?

You don't want to see it, Benjamín.

-No, no, listen to you. -You don't want to see!

You're just talking shit!

Look...

if you want him to go, I'll take him to work with me

for a few days. Now that Tomás won't be in town.

That doesn't solve anything, idiot.

Trust me.

Give him a chance.

We have to help him.

And me?

Who helps me?

You never wanted to see what he did to us

when we were kids. What he did to me.

What did you think that fucker was doing to me?

You never said anything.

I told you!

But, like Betty, you didn't believe me.

I am determined, Benjamín.

I...

I'll get that motherfucker out of here.

Will you help me or not?

I've always been on your side

and I'll always be.

But I can't handle him.

I freeze.

I don't remember when we were kids,

and I don't know why, but I freeze.

The last thing I want is for him to hurt the girls

like he did to us.

This guy is so funny.

Why do you have to travel so often?

I can't sleep when you're not here.

It's extra money, baby.

And we can use it.

But if you don't want me to, I won't go.

No, no, no. It's fine.

I miss you when you're not here.

That's it.

Me too.

Look.

Calm down, everything will be fine.

And tomorrow night, I'll be back, deal?

-Deal? -Deal.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Thanks, girls. Go play.

Your uncle and I will put this away.

-Let's put the meat away. -Yes.

Yes, let's do it.

We'll be right back, girls.

What are you doing?

I'm here, honey.

What are you doing, man?

-What am I doing? -That's wrong, Abel!

Wrong, you idiot?

What's wrong? Do you want to beat me up?

I'll kill you, motherfucker.

-What's wrong? -I'm really sorry, Vania.

-I'm sorry. -Mommy.

I couldn't hold it in, I'm sorry!

Nancy, please, forgive us.

I don't know what's wrong with Betty.

She wasn't like this.

Now, this is happening all the time.

Good afternoon, thank you.

You're not a baby anymore. Don't you get it?

You make me ashamed.

Go to your room now!

You peed yourself again!

Do you think it's funny, you pig?

Why don't you get it?

Do you want a beating so you'll learn?

You nasty girl!

You wanted to beat me up?

Let him go!

-Leave him alone! -Shut up!

-You'll kill him! -Fine!

Is he dead?

What are we going to do?

Help me!

Come on! Help me, help me!

That looks delicious, honey. Do I take this?

-Yes, please. -Here's the first batch

of hamburgers, come eat.

But, first, I'd like to make a toast.

I... I want to say that...

that I'm really happy you're part of the family.

-Welcome. -Cheers

to this wonderful woman who said yes to being my wife.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers! Congratulations!

Welcome, honey.

I don't know about you, but I'm starving!

-Come on, eat. -Yes!

There'll be another batch for everyone.

Wait, here... brother-in-law?

These are for you.

-Yummy. -They're special

for the bride and groom.

Hey, honey,

there's more people than we expected.

-Can you go get more meat? -I'll turn the volume down.

Yes, please. Thanks.

Nancy, do you have a moment, please?

Oh, sorry, you said you'd introduce me to...

Welcome.

You hid this very well, huh?

Your dress is beautiful.

Girls, don't eat so much fries

you'll fill up.

Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!

Can you watch the grill?

-Yeah, yeah. -I'll be right back.

I told you to stop eating fries, you'll fill up!

Come on in.

I have some more here!

Please sit, wherever you like...

THE POLICE CAME SHORTLY AFTER

IT TOOK THEM TWO DAYS TO UNFREEZE ABEL'S BODY

NANCY AND BENJAMIN WERE GIVEN 35 YEARS IN JAIL
