I told you, I told you.

Thirty-one flavors and I got them all!

Relax. Don't look at me like that.

This man can make you world champ.

What's wrong with you guys?

That's Ray Arcel.

Now you got two trainers. You got Panama. Our Panama.

And you got the man who knows...

You really have balls, Eleta.

I'm trying to make you world champ. You don't wanna be world champ?

You gonna eat all that shit?

Of course! I bought it!

Mom, got food!

Gun shots, Roberto, hide down here!

What are you doing down there, you crazy?

Mangoes!

Wait!

Did you steal that?

Mom, you know me, I don't need to steal.

Where did you find that?

I got paid for my work.

Thanks, son.

Mangoes for everyone!

Now everyone say thanks for the mangoes.

Thanks for the mangoes.

If it's mine it's yours.

And if it's ours it's yours.

Thank you.

Left, Left, Left, Right, Left.

Run! We are late!

Use your jab. Don't lower your guard.

Sir.

What's up, kid?

Would you train me?

Go to school. We are working here.

You gonna pay for school?

Just go, kid.

All good.

Shut up and box.

Boxing is fighting, all you do is dance like my sisters.

Stand up you coward!

We are rich!

I didn't know you liked to fight!

You see? I'm gonna be world champ!

Then you gotta take me to NY.

Let's go eat!

Hide the money!

Give me that money, kid.

Give me the money.

I got no money.

He's just a kid!

- Wassup, kid? - Wassup.

- All good? - Yes.

Clearly, all is great.

I can get you out.

But let me be clear...

If you are caught fighting or stealing...

I'll bring you back myself and leave you here.

So you are gonna train me?

They're not all gonna be this easy.

Sometimes...

You need to get points.

There's technique...

Rules.

Cheats.

Movement.

You learning everything I tell you?

I learn anything you want...

as long as you get me an ice cream...

every time I kill one of those fuckers.

Stand up you coward!

Baby.

Turn around.

Blondie.

What's your name?

Did the mice eat your tongue?

You're not going to give me your name?

Happiness.

You are kidding me, right? Your name is happiness?

Let me guess. It's what you've been looking for all your life?

The poor are born happy.

Only the rich know sadness.

And you still leave?

Come here!

Where are you taking me?

It's okay, I don't bite.

You are nuts.

Marry me!

I don't even know you!

Exactly.

We'll get the rest of our lives to know each other.

You really are crazy.

Crazy for you.

I can't change who I am.

Then you need to forget about me.

You're going to leave me here?

You are the one who won't forget me!

You'll be drawing hearts in your notebook.

You are done, you turned...

And you fell in love.

You're crazy!

What's up? What's that spaceship?

Jeez, he's intense!

This is Carlos Eleta, the richest man in Panama.

I've been looking for you for an hour!

Stop screaming in front of everyone.

I wanted to meet you.

I hear you are unbeatable.

When you fight clowns it's easy to win.

You wanna be world champ? I can help you.

Yes.

He's looking.

Gonna take you to Madison Square Garden.

Let's go right away.

This is your plane?

Don't look, don't look.

Hey, you are the boxer.

Yes.

And you are?

I heard you won.

Yeah, that was easy.

Now I'm going for the world championship.

That's good.

Can I walk with you?

What school did you go to?

I went to the Plomo Quiñones school.

Now I'm in the Ray Arcel.

Ray Arcel?

American school?

Yes, American school.

You didn't go to school, did you?

But you can read, right?

This is like a job interview.

I thought I was walking you home.

Yes.

I can continue alone.

Why?

We come from different worlds.

What?

Come see.

This is the kitchen.

My heavy bag.

Some perfumes.

Come see.

I'm looking at it.

You don't like it?

I'm just used to...

He's got a skirt?

He is wearing a skirt, Roberto!

A fuckin' skirt!

Excuse me.

Are they fighting yet?

It's about to start.

Kill him, Cholo!

What's going on?

That's a white bitch, Cholo!

Make him shit his pants!

Yeah, son of a putz.

Open my belly!

Don't open her belly!

How do we call him?

Roberto Duran.

It's a girl!

Another girl.

You can't name them all Roberto.

Let's name him Robin, then, like Robin Hood.

We fight the rich to give the poor.

Another boy and his name is Roberto Durán.

And I don't wanna hear it.

The stone is here!

This is my hood!

How are the girls? Did you eat?

Yes!

Get some sodas.

Look how happy everyone is.

Thanks for the food, Durán.

Jump! Jump!

Dear Mr. President Carter.

In the name of the truth of logic, I would like to say,

that we will sign this treaty.

He's signing the treaty!

The treaty is signed! The Canal is ours!

Blondie!

They're gonna give us the canal!

General Torrijos signed the treaty!

See to believe the word of a Yankee.

Come see what I got you.

But wait... this is important.

- Torrijos is good with the people. - You wanna see the real Panama canal?

I've seen that tiny canal a million times.

You say that because all you have is a sail boat.

A sail boat? I got the Titanic here.

Sink it then.

All Panama is celebrating in the streets

and you are not even happy?

Happy about what?

About what?

You've obviously never been chased by a Marine.

Excuse me?

Rich girl.

Get off me.

Now you gonna get mad?

Yes. You're talking shit.

They offer to return your own territory in 1999.

In twenty years!

For fuck's sake, it's ours!

And it has nothing to do with being rich or poor.

It's common sense.

Now this is fucked. I'm celebrating and you are pissed.

If you wanna make your people proud,

this is the guy to beat.

What does it say?

When are you gonna learn to read?

What does it say?

It says "Fighter of the year".

Fighter of the year? This clown?

He hasn't fought a man in his life.

He is the symbol of American sports.

My balls.

He's the symbol of American Sports.

If you want your Torrijos-Carter treaty...

to mean anything for this country...

before 1999...

destroy their idol and make them respect Panama.

That idol goes down in one round.

Let me see it.

For you I got 15 rounds or more.

Respect, Durán. He's with his wife.

Why are you here?

If Ray finds out you are dead.

I can't sleep.

What's wrong?

I don't want to disappoint tomorrow.

Dad!

My babies! Good morning!

Kisses for Daddy.

Can't wait to see you kill that coward!

Don't say that!

But Dad said it on TV.

It's my job to say those things.

So you're not gonna kill him?

Of course, I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch.

It's all a show. He says that so the fight is more fun.

Come get dressed.

Fuckin' Cholo!

You won, my love!

Be calm, my love.

You've proven yourself.

I'm exhausted.

I've been calling you for a week.

What's up, Eleta?

Who?

What do you mean who? Leonard!

Leonard? What is he a masochist?

He must be desperate.

Look at me.

Pay attention.

Now you are mad?

What the hell are you doing?

Can't you see you got us all wet?

You are a fuckin' parasite too!

I'm telling you to get out you idiot!

Rob, what are you doing?

He got me soaked.

Get out I said!

This is my fuckin' house, you moron.

Get out or I'll get in and break you.

It's Chaflan, Rob!

Stop it, it's Chaflan.

Chivo, where's the Cholo?

That's the man, talk to him.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I bring you this show from Las Vegas.

Don't miss this international show for all Panamanians.

Let's play a game. Everyone look at the ball...

Hold right there!

I'm hungry, man.

Catch him!

A bit salty...

but thank you.

Revolting!

While you were at your party...

What?

Chaflan was killed.

Who told you?

You still mad?

Don't know what to tell you.

Forgive me.

Okay.

I need you.

I don't want to fight.

Focus on your training.

Why don't you come with the kids?

I wanna see you.

You need to rest, Robert. Go to sleep.

I love you.

Me too.

Stop it.

- Hand me that. -You can't eat like this.

Pass me that yellow thing.

Why didn't I get wings when I asked?

You have plenty.

And why were you looking at Leonard?

Don't start with that.

You think I didn't see you?

Don't fool me.

- You think I'm stupid? -Insane is what you are.

I saw him winking at you.

And you were all smiles.

What's wrong?

Faster, faster!

Get in there kids!

What's wrong with you?

Fuck you all!

Come up here.

Get up.

Come.

Let's get out of here.

This is not life.

It's real life.

Your husband got fucked.

And everyone calls him a loser.

Show them wrong.

Why?

For money?

For the glory of Panama?

To hell with this nation of hypocrites.

If life is such shit, why don't we stop it like you stopped the fight?

I'm done.

Go find another woman.

I can have thousands of women.

I'm taking the kids.

Go to hell, but the kids stay here.

I'm leaving with my kids!

The kids are mine.

What?

Speak for God's sake!

President Torrijos was killed.

Get in the ring and I'll kill you.

Come have lunch with us, kid.

I don't need your food.

I earn my meals fighting.

You'll soon be begging for my autograph.

Well said, champ.

Who says well said?

You are not from El Chorrillo anymore. "No Mas" shit from you.

I'll send you to the morgue and make you quit again!

Ungrateful kid.

It's never enough!

Without Torrijos' leadership this country will go to shit.

Let's go home, Robert.

They are right.

The hope of El Chorrillo walked away.

I walked away from the fight.

I walked away just like my father.

I let them down.

I let them down and I let you down.

I don't need to be the champion,

but I need to fight.

I'm going to fight.

- Did Ray come? -Why are you thinking about Ray?

How are you feeling?

I wanna take these gloves off and kill him!

That's the way to do it.

No mercy.

Focus on him.

He's yours. He's already dead.

Breathe...

That's it. Let's go.

I love you.

You know how much.

You are my son.

You are my hero.

You're back, my love.
