APPROVED

Desire was the raw material Romeo built his business with.

He owned seven whorehouses, and they all thrived off the same thing.

The unrelenting craving for unattainable women.

But to him, those women were just cogs in his machine.

Workers, subordinates, flesh to be savored and tamed.

And they didn't arouse his desire.

But Coral, with her college girl flair,

was a sophisticated woman.

Glamorous, inscrutable, and surrounded by mystery.

She ignited Romeo's lust.

♪ I want to come back to you ♪

♪ I love you ♪

♪ You can't hide from real love From real love ♪

With my self-esteem having plummeted so low

that even a brothel seemed comfortable.

And since I wasn't used to being valued, let alone desired,

I started to play along.

♪ I love you... ♪

And like every other truly unattainable dream,

desire soon turned into obsession.

And obsession into love,

which is the most consuming, unbridled feeling there is.

It was the same power I started to exert over Moisés.

He was used to a chaotic lifestyle, so for him, I was a breath of normality.

And that's what drove him crazy.

That and the fact that I didn't stop throwing little stones

at his window all those months at the club.

Exactly the opposite of how I handled Romeo.

And giving him what she refused Romeo

became her way of nurturing Moisés's obsession.

I realized I could latch onto those bastards

to pull myself up and stay afloat.

The power of desire was the rope I could grab onto

to get out of the hole I had dug for myself.

And while I pulled them under,

I would float.

I can't breathe.

- How much air do we have left? - Relax.

At least we have three or four hours.

Sometimes people wake up in a coffin and make it out alive.

Or some do.

Well, very few.

Hey! We'll make it out of here, OK?

Coral, we're tied up.

And buried under concrete.

But... But concrete takes a long time to dry, right?

That's right.

Let's bust ourselves out.

- There's nothing. - See there?

He was a smoker. He must have a lighter on him.

It's not here.

Look, Coral, check that bulge right there.

OK.

This is so gross.

Coral, come on. Try again. You gotta get through.

The seed of the devil...

I'll admit they were tougher than we all thought.

They injured us, humiliated us...

One of them even managed to sow discord in our ranks.

But they're dead now.

Yeah, those bitches are fucking dead now. Good riddance.

Dead and buried.

And the three of us are together.

Like a family.

Like we were in the beginning. That's what matters.

So we gotta tell you something.

Christian and I wanna get out of here.

Girls, let's go.

We've got our passports.

So what? Can you turn your passport into a weapon?

- Where can we go? - Anywhere away from here.

Coral, Wendy, and Gina, they all made it out.

There's no way you can actually leave, Rubí.

They'll go after you, and if not you, then your family.

If we go together, they can't stop us, right?

There's too many of us.

Coral stole their notebook, so we don't owe anything.

Do you think that a notebook will stop Romeo? Huh?

- Where's Bambi? - This is our big chance.

And the only one we'll get.

Here. Grab it.

Take it.

Come on.

Yeah.

Right there?

Ow!

- You almost got it. Right there. - There. That's it.

Ow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everyone, listen up!

I've decided tonight the club's gonna stay closed.

So we can celebrate our big victory thanks to your loyalty.

And all of us here have worked our asses off

to offer escapism, fantasy, and sex.

Hours of sacrifice, commitment, and effort to make people happy.

Well, today it's our turn.

We'll all get high as kites, toast to the health of these little sluts

who almost killed us.

And especially,

to these two gladiators,

who are leaving us. They're retiring.

And that calls for a farewell party that is epic as fuck!

Fuck, it won't be the same without you two.

So tonight's rule, anyone who isn't drinking and snorting lines is fired!

Bring out the girls! The fun starts now!

There's not much time.

We need to get any and all tools from the trunk. Whatever we can find.

What do you wanna do with these, Coral?

Whatever it takes to get through the concrete

before it gets hard.

Well, it's pretty hard already.

Gina, pass me that drill.

Let's make a fucking hole and get out of here.

They're coming, they're coming.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Hey, ladies, we're throwing ourselves a company party tonight.

And to put you all in the partying mood,

Romeo's decided to cut down on each of your debts by 2,000 euros.

So, hey! Come on. Move. Get the fuck up. Get yourselves all dolled up.

Move your asses and hurry on down to the dance floor.

PASSPORT

Coral grabbed it, but I haven't left. I...

I was gonna give it back.

Anyone else wanna give me her passport?

Please.

Thanks, ladies.

Tsunami...

Thank you very much.

Muy bien, girls. Very well done.

Very well done!

So now, let's go get our fucking party on!

Pass the drill.

None of you are hookers tonight.

No. You're... You're our girlfriends.

So I want you to be irresistible and completely and utterly charming.

Beefcake,

shower them with champagne.

No.

No. No, no, no, no.

No.

What's the matter?

The battery died.

Come on. It's not totally dry. We've got this.

Come on.

Come on. We've got to.

Let's go!

Confetti! Yeah!

Moisés!

You, don't get cold. Put something on.

You can start paying it off now, yeah.

You do realize

that not too long ago, I was gonna bury you in concrete

with those three, right?

Why?

Because you fucking lied to me, Moisés.

You said

that Coral wasn't anything more than a fuck.

But that's a lie.

Do you know why I know?

Because I know what it's like to have that witch in here.

Right in here.

She fooled us, Romeo.

Both of us.

Be honest for once. How many times did you fuck her?

- How many times? - What does it matter now?

- It's the only way to heal. - What will be the point?

I want all the fucking cards on the table.

- How many times? - Five!

I tried to refuse the rest

because the fucking bitch told me it was work and milked me for money.

So she had to force you into the same thing she denied me?

You and me... You and I are so much better than her.

Much more.

Romeo, no mangy bitch will ever come between us.

Romeo! Here, open your mouth and knock this back.

- What's this? - Consider it medicine for your dick.

Now, open your mouth. Ahh!

Today, you're coming back with a bang. You can bet on it. Trust me.

Not even a motherfucking stroke is gonna be able to keep your dick down.

I'm having such a fucking awesome time! I love you, guys!

Woo!

My dear, I have something very special for you.

Something I imagine you're not used to.

You know you mean a lot to me.

Try this. It'll make you feel good.

It's a tea made of hawthorn berries.

It helps you connect with your feelings and opens up your chakras.

I've been seeing this girl.

She's...

my boss's secretary.

I sometimes drive her in the car.

To events.

Do you like her?

I'm not sure.

I feel good when I'm with her.

I feel relaxed, but it can't...

It can't happen.

And why can't it?

Because she works for my boss.

There's always a new one.

He's had several. I try not to get attached.

But what if this one's different though?

She is different.

I mean, she's out her fucking mind.

She's got purple hair,

and she likes drugs more than you and me, Iris.

And Hombres G. She likes Hombres G. Who the fuck likes Hombres G?

You, apparently.

Because if you like this girl,

then you have to like what she likes.

Coral.

Coral.

We're fucked, I'm sorry.

It's hard as fucking rock.

I mean, it is a fucking rock, dumbass.

It's concrete.

My anxiety's taking over.

I need my pills.

Why did they leave us a gun?

It's the one they used to kill this guy.

I guess to get rid of the evidence.

I wouldn't mind some right about now.

Gina, would you like some?

Not the best idea in your condition, but...

They're good.

Drugs are the best.

They open your mind.

We might even end up figuring out a way out of here.

What the fuck was that?

I think it's gas from the body.

Make some space for me.

Woo!

Guys, I'm heading out.

What did you say?

Where the fuck do you think you're going?

- It's late and Yun is waiting for me. - Come on. Stay a bit longer.

Didn't you hear Romeo? We're celebrating all fucking night.

So let's drink and party and fuck

like there ain't gonna be a tomorrow, my friend!

Fuck, come on! Fucking...

No, no, no. I'm already obliterated.

Otherwise, I won't sleep a wink.

And besides, I prefer to fuck at home.

Do you hear this? He prefers to fuck at home, he says. Motherfucker.

I don't know, man. I think maybe he needs to fuck in the club.

Huh? What do you say, my dude?

Just relax and party with your friends, huh?

Am I right?

Come on, Christian. You guys can party without me.

No, no, no, no, no. Don't you "Christian" me.

You ain't leaving.

Why don't we fuck this guy, you know?

I'm just saying, help him relax a bit.

Hold him! Hold him down.

I really gotta go.

Very funny!

Christian was the guy who wanted to change his life.

But maybe he wasn't ready.

He was a textbook case of a kid from a dysfunctional family.

Moisés has never set him any boundaries,

so he was never able to tell where the joke ended and the drama began.

And at its core, that's pretty much the big truth about prostitution.

What is fun for one person, is a pain in the ass for others.

These tranquilizers are making me feel on edge.

That's not the tranquilizers.

That's the opioids.

Hmm. This isn't really the best place to get high.

Hmm.

I can't breathe.

'Cause we're running out of oxygen.

I wish the three of us had met way earlier.

We were living miles apart.

The only good thing we got out of the club...

was meeting each other.

Look at him! He can barely even walk!

Hey, come on! Hey!

Hey, don't get mad. It was a joke. It was a joke, bro.

You sodomized me, you pussy.

"Sodomized"...

What are you doing there?

Woo!

Brother,

I was thinking we should go to a country with no extradition treaty.

I'm talking Ivory Coast, Namibia...

- Namibia? - Yeah.

And what would we do with Mom in Namibia?

I don't know. We could go anywhere.

The thing is, if someone starts asking questions

and the police link us to somebody somewhere,

we wanna have our asses covered.

You know what I'm saying, right?

- And just enjoy life, brother. - Enjoy life.

- Yeah, we have money. - Enjoy life?

We can set up our own business, we can work during the day,

we can sleep at night.

Something we've never done before.

And we can all be nice and boring, normal.

The hard part will be putting our past behind us.

Giving up the bad habits.

I can give up the bad habits whenever I want.

Would you really do it though?

Sure.

Stuff like being home by 10:00 p.m.

Going to dinner, the movies...

Having a girlfriend...

One that says no.

One that says no.

- God, that'll be so hard. - No.

No, it won't be.

Gentlemen!

My penis is back! Yeah!

See?

I'm telling you, anyone can change their life, my brother.

- Anyone? - Anyone.

It's nice to think it's possible for anyone to change their life

for the better.

Exchange it for that life we always wanted to live.

Where we're prettier, more balanced, happier...

In Wendy's idea of that life it was just us,

together like three lifelong friends.
