Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, and twelve.

Not so many. They taste awful.

Don't complain so much. Just let me take care of you.

What the hell.

I hope I'll get better soon, so you'll leave me alone.

As soon as you're better I'll leave you alone.

You don't even want me here.

What's in here? Beef, chicken, Turkey?

Everything is so expensive these days.

I packed an egg sandwich,

some tacos. I could only make two of them.

And your bean sandwich.

My dear, what would I do without you?

Wait a minute. You forgot your handkerchiefs.

Hurry up. The buses are full at this hour

and you might be late.

Don't worry, child.

Mr. Carmelo, they have come to evict us.

Talk to them.

You'll see, old fool!

Noisy people!

This place is mine and I do with it as I please.

What do you mean, yours?

Don't we pay the rent?

It's ours.

After all these years paying rent,

we should own the whole place!

Neighbors! Quiet, please.

Let's hear what they're up to.

Sure, you...

Quiet! Calm down, everybody.

Talk if you want, but take turns, so we can understand.

Talk to me or to him.

- No, stop fighting. - Come on, old man!

- Let Carmelo speak. - Sure!

He'll speak for all of us.

Stay with us.

Well, what's the matter?

Mr. cabrea, owner of the property,

who is present here,

has asked me to notify you:

In view of the fact that you have refused

to show up in the meetings held

in court house 9-

of course. Because you had already reached a verdict.

Why should we go?

We're up-to-date with our rent.

Just a minute. Here is the order.

"The tenants are hereby formally

notified of the eviction,

granting them 20 days

as from this date

to vacate the premises

located at... etc.

Notified that, in case they have not

left within such deadline,

all incurred eviction costs

will be the tenants' responsibility."

Yours, that is.

Mr. andrés, don't do it. Where will we go if you evict us?

That's your business. There are plenty of other houses.

Yes, at cramped colonies,

where rent is exorbitant.

My poor husband is so sick.

Take him to a hospital.

The law is the law.

Go to polanco or atlampa,

just get out.

Forget it. Don't beg.

People like him don't care about us.

But we,

we care about our children. We will not allow them

to throw us out like dogs.

We'll stay, disregarding the consequences.

That's right, Mr. Carmelo! Exactly!

You must obey the law...

Cut out the gestures and the talking.

The law is for the rich. So no way.

But we poor people stick together.

You can't throw us out.

Just a minute! Just a minute!

The law protects me,

because I'm the legal owner of this property.

We will ask for legal protection.

Definitely.

You're just a shameless bunch of hoodlums

who are trying to Rob me.

Enough insults already.

You'd better leave,

unless you want to get beaten!

Get out! Get out!

Touch him and you'll see!

Ok, neighbors, it's best for you to leave...

Or you'll regret it!

Good job, Mr. Carmelo.

That should teach them a lesson.

It's too early to claim victory.

It'll be tough.

That's why we have to fight and not give up.

United we stand.

- Good morning, boss. - My wife?

She's inside.

Paloma! Paloma!

- Back already? - Not yet.

Can't you see? No more kissing, man.

I'm not a man. I'm a woman.

Why are you so sour?

None of your business.

Don't you know where I went? You don't care anyway.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

That bunch of crooks

offended me and threatened

to beat me up.

And they won't move out.

Self-defense. And it's not the first time.

But never like this.

Half a dozen hoodlums trying to take

what's mine. Come on!

It's all the leaders' and politicians' fault.

Now any bum thinks he can...

I wish I had the power to exterminate

that bunch of revolutionaries.

Don't overreact, old man.

So now you think I'm in the wrong.

That's all I needed.

You think they're right to defend themselves, right?

I can go to hell, right?

What do you want, then?

That they Rob me and I die

leaving you with a bunch of debts

like your husband did?

Now it's all my fault.

Forgive me, woman.

Those guys are really getting to me.

Forget it.

You have the eviction order.

They can't win against you and the judge.

I'm sure none of them would dare

speak up if it wasn't for that Carmelo

and two or three others.

They're a bunch of ruffians.

In short,

you only have problems with three or four of them.

They had the audacity to threaten me with

a protection order. If they get it, I'll lose the 150,000 pesos

why do you worry about such a simple thing?

Are you making fun of me? Like if it's simple!

Very simple. Look.

One, two, three...

And four.

Perhaps if I were younger,

but I'm too old. They are too many for me.

Isn't there anyone who could help you?

A strong, determined man.

Strong and determined?

Well, you're back. Did you get my medicine, daughter?

How could 1? It costs six pesos.

Six pesos. A lot of money. What a daughter!

She'll let her mother die because of six pesos.

- Your cigarettes. - Oh, good lord.

Don't be like that. You know I have no money.

You have a man to support you. Ask bruto.

And have him get mad at me?

You do it, and he'll tell you he's through with my family.

You brats, keep quiet.

- Shut up! Be quiet! - Mom?

Niece... Where did you put the salt?

Again?

You only come here to eat whatever you can find.

- Why do you allow him, mom? - Slow down.

When was the last time I had a taco?

You know bruto can't stand the sight of you.

Tell him to leave.

My own daughter won't listen to me.

It's bad enough to rot in this dirty bed

without medicine or love.

Hello.

It's Mr. andrés.

How are you?

It's the pits. Barely surviving.

Come in. Come meet my mother.

This is Mr. andrés, the one you tell me

is so good?

Please, sit down.

No, thank you. I won't stay.

Where is bruto?

- He left early. - When does he come back?

He only comes to sleep with her and eat.

I'm sick, as you can see.

He doesn't pay for anything.

Not even for food. I'm Maria's uncle, and I'm crippled,

as you can see. He kicks me every time

he finds me here.

Look what he did yesterday. Feel it!

Girls, don't bother him. Let's go!

That's wrong, man. I'll talk to him

so he'll change. When does he go to work?

To the slaughterhouse? Tonight.

They start at 10 P.M. and work until dawn.

Thank you. I'll look for him there.

Mr. andrés, I'm sick,

dying, and need makes one bold.

Give me some money for medicine.

It only costs six pesos.

Good afternoon.

What's new? Good afternoon, sir.

Hello.

How are you, mother?

Much worse, son. Why didn't you visit?

I was looking for a job.

I came to talk to you about something...

Here. I hope you feel better.

I pray that the sacred virgin

of Guadalupe will repay you.

See you later.

Leaving already, Mr. andrés?

I have lots to do, girl.

Close the door!

You shouldn't have given her anything.

She's only chronically lazy.

I need the money more than she does.

I have no job, no place to sleep...

Let go, bad son! Vile!

Only five on loan. I need it badly.

It's for my medicine.

Don't be such a bastard! Stop robbing your own mother!

You stay out of this.

Thank you, Mr. andrés.

You're the pride of a country... without people.

Nico!

Somebody give me a hand with this.

Look at the huge and well-shaped ox.

He really can't do it, man! He's weak!

So lazy! I don't need you at all!

Look at him, falling already! Pick it up, bruto!

He can't even pull up his own pants!

It's slipped out of my hands. I'll show you how strong I am.

- It slipped! - It will hurt in a while...

- Yeah! - He needs help!

Enough!

Don't hurt yourself, bruto.

Get out of here, you flea!

You see him that big... Take a look at his thing!

Don't be a jerk!

Just tell me where you want me to pull!

Come on, let's go!

Hey, bruto!

- What is it? - Somebody to see you.

- See me? - Yes!

- Is it a woman? - No. A man.

Enough!

- A man! - A man!

Pedro!

- How are you? - Hi, boss!

Why didn't you just call instead of coming over?

Getting stronger every day.

You didn't ask differently.

You didn't expect me here.

No, not really.

- A cigarette? - Thank you, I don't smoke.

- Come on, don't be shy. - Really, I don't.

Come this way.

- How's work? - We do what we can.

I was at your house.

I can't understand

why you ended up in that family.

Well, you see,

after that thing with the girl...

Did they make you marry her?

No, I'm not so soft.

But she brought the whole family.

It's your business. If you like her...

Come over here.

I don't even like her anymore. She's so unkempt.

Bruto, where's the stiletto?

- Marciano has it. - Excuse me.

- Goon. - Can't you leave her?

One of these days I'll make up my mind and leave her.

A wise decision.

Let me tell you why I came.

It concerns a special matter,

- classified. Understood? - Yes, sir.

I thought of you for this job

because I trust you. You can make a few bucks.

For you I'd do it for nothing, boss.

Thank you.

Hang on, man! Carry on, Mr. andrés.

You are a grateful person. You know, I have

a small apartment house in portales.

It's easy. I want you to go there.

Excuse me.

Marciano says he doesn't have it.

I gave it to him myself.

I'll be there shortly. Quit pestering!

Excuse me, sir.

Forget them, Mr. andrés. Go on.

We can't talk here.

Come by my house tonight.

- As you wish. - 7 P.M.?

- 7 P.M. - It's settled.

- Yes, boss. - I'll be waiting.

How ill-mannered! You should be ashamed.

Go to hell with your manners, stupid hag.

I can't take any more of this poverty!

I'm leaving! Bring your granny to put up with you!

Just go to hell then!

Angered the old man again?

He's the one who doesn't behave.

He wanted to stay up for you.

And he cursed at me.

I'll straighten him out.

Or are you responsible?

I'm not coming back.

Don't give me the usual story.

I have no time to beg today.

Come for your money tomorrow.

It's up to you whether you want to stay or leave.

If only I didn't need the money...

Be on your way.

Good, bruto.

I like your punctuality. Wait here.

Yes, boss.

Don't pretend you're sleeping. You can't fool me.

I know you misbehaved today.

I brought you candy, but I won't give them to you.

Nothing but a bunch of lies.

Gossip from that old hag.

She hates me, son. And she torments me.

I asked her for some bread and sausage.

She brought it, showed it to me and then she ate it.

She does it for your own good.

Don't cry. Have some candy.

Not just one. I want all of them!

Don't start with that.

I don't want candy, damn it!

I'm your father, give them to me.

If you get upset, you'll get nothing at all.

No, son. I know you do it for my own good.

God bless you.

I remember, when you were little

I gave you everything you wanted. Once...

Once you were late for dinner, and I...

You've told me that many times,

but I have things to do.

Let's go to the dining room,

otherwise he won't let us talk.

You're not alone, son? Who is here?

A friend. Don't bother us.

Who is that friend? You haven't told me anything.

Good lord. Go to sleep, father. Come.

- Sit down. - Thank you, boss.

As I told you, I chose you because I trust you.

Thank you, boss.

You know that I'd do anything that you ask me to.

That's the reason, boy.

Look.

For what we have to do

you'll have to leave your job in the slaughterhouse.

It is necessary.

What can I say?

You gave it to me and you can take it away, but...

It is good money...

Don't mention that. You'll earn more money with me.

You know I care for you.

It bothers me to see you live

with that family of cheaters.

You must leave them.

I'd like to, very much. But how do I do it?

Just go and get your things.

If they give you a hard time,

they can all go to hell.

It's easier said than done.

You can live here, for free. In the store.

You'll be in charge of the butcher shop

and work with my wife, Paloma.

As I said before,

tell me what to do and I'll do it.

But there's something else I want to tell you.

Do you want a drink?

If you allow me to drink I'll have three.

Well, alright.

See for yourself. All the favors they owe me...

All the money I have lent them, almost free of charges.

That's the way they are.

The worst part is

I have to sell that land

so I can finish the little house

for my father and me.

That's how they are. Yesterday they almost hit me.

That's incredible. Those bastards!

I won't let them take advantage

of your good will.

They will never make fun of you again.

Would you do it for me?

That and more. I'm a grateful person. Just give me the word.

I knew I could count on you. You're loyal.

I'll never forget it, rest assured.

Have another drink.

There's one other thing.

It's not all the tenants. Only four.

I know the names of the four. The ones that fight me.

Of all four, this one.

Don't worry, I'll handle them.

This one is the worst one.

He started it all.

Carmelo Gonzalez.

What a joker.

We'll see what happens to him.

Hi, Carmelo. How are you?

As usual. Falling, getting up, and falling again.

Well, up again. Shall we have some Tequila?

Not today, thank you. I'm tired.

I promised my daughter I'd be home early. Some other time.

- I'll see you tomorrow. - Bye.

Listen, friend. Aren't you Carmelo Gonzalez?

Suppose I am, what do you want?

I've got some advice.

Who wants it?

I'll give it to you anyway.

You think you're cute, don't you?

You're causing unrest in the building you live in.

I thought it was something else.

That old man sent you to scare me.

Nobody sent me. I came here on my own.

You are a big man.

Let me tell you

that I'm big enough

to show any man what he's worth.

Really?

I'll give you a souvenir

that'll cut you down to size!

- Good evening. - Good evening, Mrs. marta.

- Hi. - How was your day?

- Terrible. I sold few things. - Rosita, come here.

I wanted to buy meat

for a stew, but I didn't have any money.

Everything's so expensive.

If your father doesn't bring any money

tonight we'll only eat candy.

Meche, come here.

- It's your father. - My father?

Some men are bringing him.

Careful! Sitting up straight

is bad when you're vomiting blood.

Father, what happened?

I don't know, girl.

We found him lying in the street, covered in blood.

But he's not dead, is he?

No. Let's get him inside.

Good lord. Perhaps he was hit by a car.

They found him in the street.

- Nobody saw him? - I did!

I was with lencho

when they told us.

You weren't told what happened?

No. He had already fainted

and was covered in blood.

He must have vomited blood again.

He's so sick.

Well, I don't believe it.

I don't know why, but I have a hunch.

- What is it? - I don't know.

It was him who fought the most

so that we don't get evicted.

Mrs. enriqueta, do you really think...?

The sly old man would do anything.

He has a very bad soul.

- How is he? - It's serious.

He needs a doctor.

I'll get Mr. Mariano.

He lives nearby. He's a very kind and good doctor.

- Hurry up! - Go on.

What's the hurry, you old gossiper?

Let me go. What are you talking about?

You don't know?

I overheard you saying that you had a hunch...

- Well, I... - I think

that if you continue to spread those rumors

I'll take your son and throw him against the wall.

So be careful, big mouth. Run.

Hello. Yes, it's Mr. andrés.

Oh, it's you, bruto. What happened?

So everything went well?

Yes, sir. Don't worry, I know how to do these things.

As you wish.

I'll get my things and come over to your house.

Bye.

- What are you doing here? - I came to see mother.

Can't 1?

There's nothing for you to do here but get lost.

I warned you that I'd choke you

if I saw you here again. You lazy bastard.

Let go of him!

Keep out of this.

You stupid bastard.

Too bad Maria had to meet you. Let him go!

You stole two pesos.

I gave them to him. He's my brother.

You're breaking my arm, savage.

The only people allowed in here are the ones I bring.

I don't cater to bums. Get out.

You take advantage of your size.

Shut up and get out.

What are you up to?

Can't you see? Don't you have eyes?

Are you leaving me for good?

- You bet. - No, man.

You don't cut me out of your life.

You're not leaving, bastard. You are not!

I won't let you go!

Don't touch my daughter.

Don't harm her. Even though I'm dying

I can still call the police. Big brute!

It's better if he leaves. Let him go, mother.

I was only putting up with him because of you.

That bastard isn't worth anything.

Go to hell, you bum.

There are more than enough men

with money and other things you don't have. Animal!

Don't let him go, follow him.

We'll be left out in the street.

He won't return.

Pedro! Where are you going?

- Get out of the way. - You can't just leave us...

Out of my way!

If it weren't for...

- Little Paloma. - At your service.

What are you doing?

Fixing your clothes. Can't you see?

Forget it. I want to talk to you. Come.

I'm coming.

Is there anything wrong?

No. Should I dance for joy?

What's wrong with my Paloma?

My hands are chapped.

Poor little hands. They'll get better with a kiss.

They're full of cream.

- Are you done? - Oh, lord.

Don't get upset. I have a headache

and I don't like my hands like this.

I'm tired and I don't feel well.

The same old story.

Every time I reach out and want to be gentle

you're always ill. If it's not your stomach

it's your head, or vice versa.

Even my nails are hurting now.

It's not my fault. What can I do?

Do what all women do.

Take an aspirin and don't make a face like a martyr.

If you don't like my face find another one.

That's what I get for being nice.

If I were tougher you wouldn't treat me like dirt.

Must be bruto. Open the door! He should settle in the store.

I'm coming! Don't break the door down.

I'm sorry, miss. I thought you didn't hear me.

Mr. andrés asked me to come.

Yes, come in.

God knows what shape it's in. I never go in here.

What a dump. Of course!

Andrés keeps all the extra junk in here.

He keeps everything.

Don't worry. I can make myself comfortable at any place.

Come, the bed is over here.

You need a crane to get it out.

I'll give you a blanket for the night.

Don't bother.

- Man, it's heavy. - It's cane sugar.

I was looking for that. Andrés' old clothes.

Anything breakable in here?

What did I put in there? Ah, books.

You are so strong.

Average.

- Your blankets. - Thank you, ma'am.

- Good night, bruto. - Good night.

- What took you so long? - What did you say?

Nothing.

Your hair smells lovely. You are so beautiful, Paloma.

1.80 your change. Thank you.

See you tomorrow, Paloma. Save some bones for my dog.

I'll do that.

Didn't you have any bones?

Of course I did.

But only for people who pay.

- What are you doing? - Cutting this.

"Cutting this." Skunk!

Do you think that cutting up a whole ox

is the same as cutting small pieces?

Well, with your hands. Give me the knife.

- Here it is. - What's so funny?

You thought I couldn't do that?

Why didn't you?

I wanted to watch you. Give me that.

Let go. It's typical.

You're all muscles and no brain.

I haven't seen anybody like you.

What do you talk to women about?

Anything, I guess.

Have you had many women?

Just a few.

Of course, the ones where you don't need to talk.

That kind and the other.

Don't tell me. What type? Some maid?

Well, yes. But also others.

Don't tell me you've had a decent woman.

Not completely decent, but almost.

How did you seduce her?

It's a secret. But I convinced her.

But you are a mute.

I bet they are the ones

who have to entice you.

- I'm not so dumb. - More than that.

Not only dumb but blind.

Too blind to see things.

Which things?

Forget it if you can't figure it out.

Let's see, bruto. Catch this.

Why so cheerful?

He makes me laugh.

How's he doing?

He's a little dumb and slow in picking things up.

You have to make things easy for him.

He'll open his eyes, little by little. I'll make sure.

Not a bad idea.

Otherwise he'll get us in trouble.

Me, boss? Why?

For hardly anything.

You overdid it with Carmelo.

He's six feet under.

- What? - I just witnessed his funeral.

It's a good thing he couldn't talk anymore.

But how?

I hardly touched him. I just hit him a little.

You're such a brute.

Can't you see that he doesn't even know how strong he is?

Look at his arms.

They seem to be made of concrete. Barbaric.

Average.

Well, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end.

- What happened, enriqueta? - She's moving out.

But why?

What got into you?

Mr. lencho, my sister has let me know

she has a spare room and since my niece got married

she wants me to go with her to keep her company.

Just a minute.

Didn't we all agree we'd stay?

If you all start leaving, we'll have nothing.

Especially now that Carmelo is dead

we have to fight more than ever.

You're right. But my sister...

Tell her to wait.

You have the duty to stay here.

Give the example, like us.

If only that would do it!

I don't want them to kill my baby.

What are you saying? Who threatened you?

The old man?

- I'm afraid to say. - Tell us.

The night Mr. Carmelo had the accident

I went for the doctor. A big man grabbed me.

He was strong, hairy, with a mean look.

The same guy who was here during the day.

I know which one you mean.

He's a shameless man. I saw him today.

Where?

In the old man's butcher shop.

Now it's clear. Threatening women.

- Can we allow it...? - Any time.

Don't worry.

Take your things inside and don't be afraid.

We'll take care of it. Give me a hand.

- Let's go! - Take that.

- You take the machine. - Right.

Wow, ma'am. It's like a miracle.

I decided to clean your bedroom.

But... this?

Sheets. For you, to sleep like a decent person.

I don't know what to say.

That's really nice.

You have such ways with me. It's true.

Come and look.

Here are your clothes, clean and mended.

Fix yourself up a little.

You always look so sloppy and your hair is always messy.

And you show off with an open shirt.

That's not true. I lost a button.

Give that to me. Amazing.

So big and yet you're such a baby!

You don't even seem like a real man.

When Mr. andrés scolds you,

you look for a woman to hide behind. Hilarious!

Don't say that, ma'am.

I love and respect him because he knows me since I'm a baby.

My mother was Mr. pepe's maid. The old man.

He was always good to us.

He sent me to school, and hit me if I did something wrong.

But when he was in a good mood he gave me candy...

And allowed me to listen to his clock.

Somebody once said he was my father.

I had a fight over it with some other kids.

If he were my father...

I'm sure he'd tell me. Don't you think?

Leave me alone. Let me go.

I'll teach you to stop playing with me.

Let me go. You want me to call andrés?

You bastard. What did you think?

That you only needed to touch me with your dirty hands?

- Forgive me. I thought that... - What, idiot?

That you liked me.

Yes, but you forget something very important.

I have to be willing too.

Listen, friend. Stop right there.

Don't you work for Mr. andrés?

That's none of your business. What's the matter?

We're looking for someone who works for him.

He looks like you, and is always threatening old women.

But this is not the one we're looking for.

He isn't afraid of men. Isn't that so, Julian?

What do you want?

Let's surround him. You go there and we'll go over here.

He's gone. I can't see a thing.

He's close by. He must have turned the corner.

Is anybody else here? Will you scream if I let go?

Are you sure?

Some bastards wanted to kill me.

What do I have here?

It looks like a nail.

Take it out.

I can't.

I'm telling you to take it out. You won't feel any pain!

Bring some water to clean it. Hurry up!

Yes, sir.

Leave the water here and get me a piece of cloth.

Go on, clean the blood off.

- Is it a big wound? - A little hole.

- What's your name? - Meche.

Meche. They call me bruto, but my name's Pedro.

Don't think that I'm brutal. Only in certain things.

Lencho! Lencho!

He went this way.

- You didn't scream. - What for?

- You don't fear me anymore? - No.

That's good. I don't want to harm you.

I broke the hen's neck to keep it quiet.

I'll bring you another one.

I'll light a candle.

Why did they want to kill you?

Men and their ideas. Bastards.

But I'll get rid of them. One by one.

You live alone here?

I lived here with my father. He died recently.

Recently? What happened?

He had vomited blood when they brought him. It was too late.

You'd better leave now,

before something happens to you. Go and see a doctor.

Look, meche. I don't know how to say it, but...

I want to thank you for not screaming.

And for taking care of me. I like you very much

and I want to see you again.

Well, I really have to go.

Bye.

That's the wife of one of them, officer.

Where's your husband?

He left early for work. I don't know when he'll be back.

Don't trust her. They're all a bunch of liars.

Come and see.

What did I tell you?

He's the one who left early and that one is his accomplice.

Well, let's see. Lorenzo ruiz and Julian Garcia?

Yes. How can I help you?

Come with me.

Why are you taking them? What have they done?

We'll discuss this at the department.

Just little things like intended homicide

and second degree wounds.

An excuse to get rid of us.

Please, officer.

My husband is innocent. I swear.

He did nothing, and neither did Julian.

For real. What will we do?

Calm down, it'll be alright.

- Don't take him! - Let me go!

- Walk. - Let me go!

They are innocent! Truly, sir. Please!

Careful with the arm.

There's no need. I'm all right.

The certificate is ready. Take care now.

- Thank you. - Can we leave now?

- Whenever you wish. - Thank you.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye, doctor.

I was anxious to get out of here.

Then you'd better take care of yourself.

What's important is that you're alright,

and the others have been taken care of.

I think our job is done. Come.

Come on. This is very good.

The Tequila or the finger?

Both. Give me some more of both.

The last one, understand?

Let's have another one before the boss gets back.

Between the three of us? I want one for myself.

You'll get sick, old man.

Sick my ass!

In my prime, men weren't as sissy as they are now.

We'd drink until only one remained standing. Always me.

You don't say.

I was stronger than a bull.

I would whisper sweet things in your ear if I were younger.

It's never too late. Go ahead.

- You don't believe me? - No.

I was stronger than a bull. You'll see.

You'll see what I can do with one of these nuts.

I would put it here, press a little...

And crack... instant nut pie.

How, Mr. pepe? Like this?

Goodness. This one is also strong.

- Some music? - Yes, let's dance.

You're something, Mr. pepe. You also like to dance?

How can you ask such a question?

I was king of the "chotis". What did you think, damn it!

Let's see, then. Let's dance.

- Don't... - Let's dance!

It's all music! Come on!

Come on. You can't say no to Paloma.

Come on, old man. Come on.

What's going on here? Are you drunk?

Father. Sit down and stop acting like a baby.

Have you been drinking, Paloma?

Just one drink while waiting for you.

I don't like you making fun of my father.

You'll eat alone

because I'm leaving.

- Get out. - I'm leaving!

- Father, to bed. - Not to bed.

- I'm having fun... - To bed, I said!

- Not to bed! - Have it your way.

If you don't go, I won't

buy you any more candy.

You torment me because I'm old.

But you'll pay for this.

Bruto, I forgive you this time, I know it's not your fault.

But don't get too intimate because I won't take it.

All right, boss. Forgive me.

Now listen to me.

Yes, sir.

Time for eviction is almost here.

I got what I wanted without many complaints.

So it's better that you are not seen around here.

They hate you. There might be trouble

if they see you.

What do you want me to do?

First of all, leave the neighborhood.

I have a house under construction in Luna 12.

I want you to look after it and I'll pay you the same wage.

We'll talk when it's all over.

- All right. - Take this. It's for you.

- Go now. I'll see you soon. - Thank you.

What? Didn't you understand what I said?

Yes, I did. But forgive me...

Are you going to evict the people in the yard?

Those before anyone else. Why do you ask?

No reason. I was just curious.

Now you know.

Go, only come back if I call you.

Yes, boss.

You really want to sell it?

I don't want to. But what should I do?

I already sold the rest to pay for the expenses.

The best thing would be to give it to your friends

and get what you can.

Besides, that way it'll remain among friends.

Don't get upset!

You're very young and you have a long way to go.

What's past is past. Look forward.

Bye, Mr. Antonio. Thank you for everything.

You're welcome, girl. See you.

Goodbye.

- Meche! - It's you? What do you want?

I only wanted to bring you the hen I owed you.

Chicks and all.

I also brought hot tortillas and bacon. Want some tacos?

I don't want anything from you. Leave and take everything.

What's wrong?

I know you work for Mr. andrés,

and because of you they arrested the carpenters.

My fault? That's a good one.

Don't you remember what you removed from here?

Why do you ask for trouble?

What about Mrs. enriqueta?

You threatened to kill her baby.

That's not true, meche. I just did that

to frighten her, to make her leave.

You have succeeded, because she has left.

Now all of us have to leave. Me too.

Take your chickens and go.

Meche, please. Don't be like that.

I may have done something wrong but I didn't know you then.

But now you know me.

Why did you treat everybody like dogs before?

It's not that. The truth is I'm very...

Very brutal!

Don't say that. I'm a slow thinker.

Don't look at me like that. Alright, I was wrong.

But I have nobody to help me understand things.

Why can't we be friends? You'll help me think, alright?

Come on, say yes. Please, say yes.

- Mrs. marta! - I thought you were alone.

- I'm sorry. - No problem. What is it?

It doesn't matter.

I felt sorry for you and brought you some food.

But I see there is no need. See you later.

Mrs. marta, let me explain.

You see? She's going to tell everybody.

We did nothing wrong.

I know, but as they don't like you,

they'll hate me too. You'd better go. Go!

- Never come back. - Never? No way.

Anything but stop seeing you.

I don't know why, but when I'm with you, my legs get weak.

I swear! Since that night, you're always on my mind.

I'm going now. Don't be mad at me, meche.

Allow me to come back.

I'll come back anyway. Goodbye.

- Pedro! - You!

What are you doing here?

I was anxious to see you.

Don't get mad. I have had very sad days without you.

Something always came up, and andrés wouldn't leave me alone.

I told him I was going to the movies today.

"What movie?", he said. "A love story", I said.

You don't seem happy about my visit. If you're mad...

Yes, I like your visit. But the truth is

I didn't expect you here. Besides, you don't have time.

Plenty of time.

I told him it was a double feature,

I can be home by noon.

Look what I brought.

Meat, bread, sardines...

- And Tequila. - How did you know?

You haven't had supper, right?

I was going to have coffee.

Isn't this better?

Of course.

My poor bruto.

How can you live in this humidity?

So alone, so sad. And with that noise! What is it?

A factory close by.

- Where do you sleep? - Right there.

There? Let me see. This is your bed?

How terrible. It's so hard. Just like you.

And to think I have a bed as big as you, and so soft.

- What're you doing? - Can't you see?

Leave it and come here.

Sit down, my love. I think of you all the time.

I remember each moment we shared, and I can't believe it.

Why do I like you so much?

Paloma... my Paloma...

Not a little, a lot.

The meat! I forgot the meat.

Leave it.

I don't know why you evict me first.

I already explained that I have to clean this land.

You don't want to understand. You're worse than rock.

I have nowhere to go.

You can always live with somebody.

You won't be alone. Or you can work as a maid.

I won't leave. My father died here, and here I'll stay.

How dare you! You're just like the others.

If you are here tomorrow, I'll call the police

- to take you to a shelter. - You wouldn't.

No arguments.

- Done. - When do we tear it down?

- Early tomorrow. - The other section, too?

No, wait for the police to move the tenants out.

They'll give us a hard time.

Just demolish this for now. Come on.

- Hey, you. What are you doing? - Tearing this down.

Who gave you the order?

The owner.

Where's the girl who lived here?

Oh, that one. Isn't that her?

- What happened, meche? - You can see it.

They arrived early and started tearing it down.

- And your things? - Mrs. marta took them.

She feared for my safety.

The others threw me out.

It was because of me, right?

What now?

Why don't you... come with me?

Where to?

Where I work as a caretaker.

There's room for both of us.

Look, meche. Haven't I been good to you?

Yes, you have.

Well, then, if I don't dislike you and

you don't dislike me very much, don't say no.

You want to come?

What are we waiting for? Mexico is so great, isn't it?

Before we were both alone,

and now we are together.

Let's go.

What's wrong? Why are you backing off?

You want us to get married?

I want you to be my partner.

We'll get married if you want to. You decide.

Let's go then.

Oh, yes. Just look at this bed.

It's prettier than the ones they sell downtown.

Come here, meche. Come on, come.

Sit down. It's soft but strong.

It even holds me. Both of us! Come on, sit down.

You know what? I only realize now how beautiful you are.

- If I wasn't such a... - Don't say it.

Why shouldn't 1?

If I wasn't so stupid I would tell you many things.

Tell me.

Well, you are very beautiful.

Very pure, because nobody has ever touched you.

I like you very much. Do you also care for me a little?

Otherwise I wouldn't be here.

- The candle's almost out. - I hadn't noticed.

You want to go to bed?

Yes. You go over there.

All right.

You know what I was thinking?

What?

Tomorrow I'll go back to the slaughterhouse.

With what I earn there, and what I get here,

we can save some money for us.

Can I turn around now?

Yes, you can.

We are together now. It's as if you were my wife.

I think so.

We love each other very much, don't we?

Meche. What's the matter? Why are you crying?

I don't want you to cry. You must be happy.

Don't be sad. Go to sleep.

Pedro.

- What is it? - Good night.

Sleep well.

We are delighted to have you back.

We have many oxen,

but the biggest one is missing.

Let's offer this one a drink.

We'll have to celebrate, bruto.

Speaking of cattle. Can you imagine him getting married?

With so many women out there...

You let yourself get bossed around by a stranger.

Don't be stupid.

You just don't know this girl.

She's a little darling.

She's so brave! Like women used to be.

I have to go now.

- She'll domesticate you! - Just look at him.

Relax a little and have one more with us!

- Sure! - Cheers, then!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Now I must go because it's 7 P.M.

And my girl is expecting me for dinner.

His girl is expecting him for dinner.

Let him go. She'll hit him if he's late.

- Right, bruto? - Don't be idiots!

You're just envious. I'll see you.

Go on, then.

What a beautiful doll.

- Back already? - As you can see!

How did you behave? Did you think about me?

Yes, but you smell of liquor.

Yes, you know?

I had to go out with my fellow workers.

You know how they are. But it was their treat.

I didn't spend a dime. My wages for yesterday.

Well, don't I deserve a kiss?

Now tell me what you did.

I went to the square, to the store,

made some coffee... And did some thinking.

- About me? - No. I'm sorry.

About the tenants who'll be evicted tomorrow.

- It's too late. - It's not that.

I feel sorry for them and remember about my dad...

Forget about that.

I don't want you to be sad.

Why don't we go to the movies?

They're showing two great pictures.

We'd better hurry. Did you bring bread?

Well, I'll be...

Bruto!

Ma'am...

Who are you? Why are you here?

I live... we live here.

You live here with bruto?

He brought me here four days ago.

You have the nerve to tell me that!

Look at you, playing innocent but messing with my man.

You're not even a woman yet!

He must have told you a bunch of lies!

Pedro is my husband. We're married.

No! Bruto is mine, and mine only! Understood?

If you don't leave now

I'll tear your face off. Go!

I don't want to! I won't go!

We'll see about that! Get out of here!

You're the one that is leaving!

Really? Don't tell me you love her.

I already told you.

Who is she? I seem to know her.

Didn't she live at andrés' rentals?

- You parasite! - Stop it, I tell you.

You don't hit me, beast. Stay with your wife.

Ironically she ended up with the man

that killed her father!

- Paloma! - Don't shout at me!

You killed him.

You want to know how?

Shut up!

Beat me up, bruto! Beat me like you beat him!

Punch me like you punched him. Kill me, you bastard!

Stupid girl, look into his eyes and figure it out yourself!

Tell me you didn't kill him, Pedro.

Meche, let me explain.

It was you!

Meche! Don't go!

Let her go! You don't go!

Bruto, you're mine, mine... That's why I told her.

Let me go!

No, please! I'll do anything! Just don't go! I love you!

- Shut up! - I'm yours!

Please!

Ibruto! Bruto! Bastard!

Don't go!

Where's the girl?

What can I do for you, handsome?

Can I have a cigarette? Don't you like women?

Look what bruto did to me!

What?

Can't you see? He almost killed me.

I don't understand. Why? Where?

At the place where he lives.

He's a beast. Kill him, andrés!

Shut up!

What were you doing there?

I heard he was living with the daughter of the man he killed.

You never know of those things so I went there.

- He took me by surprise... - He hit you?

- He was drunk. - Who told you?

One of my customers. But that's not all.

When he saw me he took hold of me, like a beast.

He tried to get me onto the bed. I defended myself...

But he's too strong. He beat me until I lost my strength.

What did you just say?

You idiot, do I need to say more? Where are you going?

That's my business.

Do whatever you want, but kill him for you and me.

Kill him, andrés. Kill him!

Andrés. Where are you going? Damn it!

Hello, Mr. andrés. I didn't recognize you.

Have you seen the guy who looks after my construction site?

I think he left a while ago. That way.

Is there anything I can do?

If you see him tell him I need to talk to him.

He should go to my house.

Will do. At your service.

Come on, man!

Give me another one.

Hey, your boss is looking for you!

- He is? - He stepped by and said you

should go to his house, urgently.

Thank you.

- Is Mr. andrés here? - He's somewhere in there.

Thank you.

Mr. andrés!

So you had the nerve to come.

- The caretaker said... - I was looking for you?

I was looking for you to break your neck. Ungrateful worm!

Is this your thanks for all I have done for you

- and your slutty mother? - Don't say that.

I'll say it again and again!

She should've died before having a bastard like you!

- Why do you hit me? - Why?

Because I spoke with Paloma, you coward. You bastard!

Did you think I wouldn't do anything about that?

I swear I never said anything to her. I swear, boss!

She was always chasing and enticing me.

- She even bit me here once. - Shut up or I'll kill you!

I'm telling you it's not my fault.

She got furious to find me with another woman!

She was jealous!

Nobody makes a fool of me!

I'm still man enough to deal with you.

Let go of me!

First I'll get rid of you,

and then the bitch you live with.

Don't you harm her. Hear me?

You'll go to jail for murder, and she'll go to a reformatory.

Stop hitting me!

What the hell?

Andrés! Are you back, son?

In this house they treat you like a dog.

If you don't fend for yourself, no one will. Damn it.

What happened with the mattress?

Meche! Don't be afraid.

- I have to tell you something. - Don't come any closer.

- Please, listen to me. - No, never again.

I swear by all that is sacred, whatever she said was a lie.

- Let go, you brute! - Meche...

Stop. Stop it or you'll see.

Now we have him. He'll pay for everything.

Let me speak to her first. Then you'll do as you please.

The first one to come near me dies! Calm down.

You won't be evicted from here. I'm telling you.

You must know I just killed the old man.

Don't believe that.

I left him in his living room with his head smashed.

Don't you hear the sirens? The police is coming for me.

You must hear me.

You must believe me, meche! I didn't kill your father.

I did punch him, but I didn't know he was sick.

I must go. I'll come back for you, because I love you.

That one must know. Ask him!

- Where's bruto? - Who?

We're the only ones here.

He's over there, trying to escape.

Let's go!

- Stop or I'll shoot! - Kill him, kill him now.

Stop or I'll shoot!

Where are you going?

- He's had it. - Shot in the head.

- It's all over. - He deserved it, after all.

At least it saved us from being thrown out of here.
