[STREET NOISES]

[GRUNTING]

Hey.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Get me out of here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Baba?

(SINATRA) Paul, are you alone?

Yeah, what's up, Dad?

Baba's dead.

What do you mean he's dead?

His old lady just called from the morgue.

Checked into a hotel room, cops found him naked.

Naked?

What?

(SINATRA) There was a condom on his dick.

A... w... what happened?

Fucker's dead.

And we got to unload the shit in two hours.

OK, we just call the Africans.

And we tell them that we're going to reschedule.

The ship leaves Santos in the morning.

It's now or never.

Where the fuck do you think that we're going to find

a goddamn mule that speaks Yurumbi,

or whatever the fuck language it is, that won't rip us off.

Don't worry about that.

Just get your ass over here.

Fuck!

God dammit!

[DOOR BUZZER]

Who is it?

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

I need to talk to you right now.

Everything's fucked.

Baba's dead.

Paul, listen.

Did you hear me?

I said Baba's dead.

Who's Baba?

Who's Baba?

Take this.

Are you crazy?

What the fuck is going on with you?

Why are you... why are you acting so weird?

You don't remember?

He was going to broker a deal with the Africans.

And then he was going to steal the money.

Steal the money from who?

From my father.

You were going to steal his money?

I had it all worked out.

Then he was going to split it with us.

But he's your father.

How do you think we're going to get out of here, huh?

With our good looks?

Our fucking charm?

I'll figure something out. Just a...

Go back to your apartment and wait for my call.

Paul...

Paul, I need to talk to you.

Angie, don't worry, all right?

We're still leaving tomorrow.

Nothing's changed.

Hey, what's up, boss?

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

[GIGGLING]

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

To your new house.

To your new life.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

Wemba?

Wemba!

Mr. Rosso, sorry I didn't hear.

I didn't hear you, sorry.

Where are you from?

Nigeria.

You speak Yoruba?

Yes, yes, I do, actually, yes.

How did you wind up here?

In Brazil?

Sao Paulo.

To find work.

I mean, Nigeria is, um... to find work.

Everything is OK, yes?

How would you like to make some money?

Some money?

Yeah.

I don't know.

It depends how much money.

Enough that you'll never have to wash another dish

as long as you live.

[PHONE RINGING]

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

[CHATTER]

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

Don't give up the suitcase till you see the cash, understand?

Understand, yes.

Call me right after everything goes down, OK?

Here's a card with my numbers.

Promise you'll call.

Yes, I should call.

OK.

Wemba, I hate to do this.

But I'm going to have to have some security.

Oh, security to...

Your passport.

My passport?

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Maybe it is better for me to... to have then.

So I work for you for three, four years.

I don't... I don't take anything from you.

I don't... I don't do those sort of tings.

See you later on tonight.

What's the matter?

I just can't believe that we're going to trust...

We've got no fucking choice.

Drive the car.

Wemba's a good man.

I trust him.

How do you know you can trust him?

They'll only deal with another African who speaks Yoruba.

You speak Yoruba?

So stop complaining.

And who's to say he's not just going to run off with the cash?

Christ, here we go again, blah, blah, blah, god damn!

He's on his way.

There's no bringing him back.

He's going to deliver the cocaine.

He'll be back in a few hours.

We're going to be rich.

You're the one who's going to be rich.

I'll be lucky if I settle my debts and break even.

I never raised you to become a degenerate gambler.

No, you didn't.

You raised me to become a pimp.

Stop the car.

What?

Stop the car!

Pull over right now.

I gotta get home and finish packing.

You should be at the club now anyway.

Oh, I got plenty of time.

It's still early.

Paul, listen to me.

The club is yours now.

Sell it, leave the Brazil.

I'm the one who can't go back to the States.

Sell the motherfucker.

Go back to New York, start over.

All I'm telling you is this deal is your last chance.

Don't fucking blow it.

There's a cab.

You call me the moment you hear from him.

Right away, I'll call you.

[PHONE RINGING]

Is everything OK?

Yeah, everything's lovely.

I am back in business with a dishwasher.

Come to think about it, Baba did me

a real solid by dropping dead.

What?

Well, you see, I had to split the take with him.

No such arrangement exists with the dishwasher.

You made an arrangement with the dishwasher?

Yeah, I arranged for us to get rid of him

when he returns with the cash.

Before he hands it over to your father?

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Honey?

Hey, baby.

Hey.

I can see you finished packing.

Yeah.

The moving men took care of most of it.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just... I just have a little headache.

Can I get you an aspirin?

Oh no, I took some earlier.

I'll get the baby ready.

How did it go tonight?

Fine.

Well, there was a slight problem.

But it's all been taken care of.

Let's see.

Our man should be arriving there any minute.

You got the tickets?

Yeah, I got them.

Everything's in the envelope.

What's my new name?

Don't remember.

Don't remember, man.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Let's go, little man.

Where are we going?

You know perfectly well where we're going.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

Tell me.

We're moving away.

Right.

And where are we moving?

I forgot.

We are moving to a place where it's warm, sunny, fun.

Give your father a hug.

I love you more than anything in the world.

Daddy?

Mm-hm?

Can monkeys fly?

What?

Can monkeys fly.

Mommy said they can't.

Well, that's not exactly true.

But they don't have wings.

No, they don't have wings.

But your mommy isn't a world-renowned authority

on the primate species, like your daddy is.

See, Lazar, there's a rare breed of monkey

that actually can fly.

Pay attention.

He's going to fly straight up to the moon.

You lost my monkey.

I'm sorry, Lazar.

We'll get you a monkey tomorrow, OK?

[PHONE RINGING]

I'll get it.

Hello?

(PAUL) Angie, listen, I'm sorry about before.

I completely overreacted, OK?

Everything's fine...

Paul, listen.

No, no, I've got our passports.

I've got our tickets.

I can't go through with this.

(PAUL) What do you mean?

What's changed?

I can't.

And I won't.

(SINATRA) Is that Wemba?

Um, no, it's your son.

What do you want, Paul?

Hello?

Hello?

(PAUL) Any news from Wemba?

Not yet, he should be calling soon.

What makes you so sure?

Oh Christ, here we go again.

I need this money as much as you do.

(SINATRA) Nobody's disputing that.

(PAUL) We never should have sent him alone.

Enough!

I'll call you when I hear something.

[GLASS BREAKING]

Hey, relax.

Calm down!

You're all right!

Get the fuck off my street, you fucking freak shemale!

What did you say?

You better walk away right now, cunt!

Ah!

[GROANING]

You're fucking dead!

Little piece of fucking shit!

[SHOUTING]

Ah!

You cunt!

You god damn cunt!

[SHOUTING]

I'm going to...

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMING]

Try to go anywhere with that face now.

[SOBBING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Let me get that.

(SINATRA) Hello?

Hello?

[SPEAKING YORUBA]

Wemba? [SPEAKING YORUBA]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Yes, hello.

Wemba.

I have the money, everything went fine.

I have the money.

I'm headed to the car right now.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Now, listen, you're halfway home.

Just take it nice and easy.

Don't drive too fast.

Don't break any traffic laws.

Wear your seat belt. Just take your time.

We'll be waiting for you at the club.

Wemba?

Wemba?

What happened?

I don't know.

Go inside and wait for me.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Are we still leaving tonight?

I hope so.

What happen if you can't find Wemba?

I'd rather not think about that.

Daddy?

Yeah?

Are you going to buy me a new monkey?

I'm sorry, Lazar.

I can't now.

Dad is very busy now.

What are you doing here?

What the hell happened to you?

Nothing, nevermind.

What are you doing here?

What's going on?

I need to drop them off with you for a couple hours.

Where's Wemba?

I don't know.

You don't know.

I lost contact with him.

Something strange happened.

Where is he?

Wemba is missing.

He's missing.

Wemba is missing.

I don't know what happened.

I'll tell you what happened.

The motherfucking nigger went back to Africa

with our fucking money!

That's what happened!

Asshole!

I'm going to find the money, Paul.

I promise you that.

Now what?

Get in your car and follow him.

OK.

And me?

Get on your bike and go wait at the African's apartment.

[CLUB MUSIC]

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

[CLUB MUSIC]

Detective.

Hey, man, take a seat.

Thank you.

So, uh, what do I owe the honor of your visit?

What happened to you head?

Oh that, nothing, I just got a little scratch.

It doesn't hurt.

You look really fucked up, man.

I should congratulate you, no?

Congratulate me, why?

You're taking over the club, right?

Yeah, that's right.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

It's more like he's just retiring, you know?

He bought a place up north.

He's going to move there, and sit by the pool, enjoy the sun.

Good for him.

He deserves it.

Your father is a good man.

Of course, cop's pension doesn't permit such things.

Cop has to resign himself to a lesser kind of destiny.

We can't all afford to live under the sun.

Or can we?

I'm not quite sure that I'm following you.

Save the act, man.

I know all about tonight's deal.

I could have arrested you guys six months ago for possession.

How much?

I want half.

Half?

Yeah, half.

OK, let me explain something to you, detective.

As of this moment, our mule is missing in action.

I don't know where this guy is.

And chances are I am never going to see him again.

I expect to be paid one way or another.

How can I pay you if I don't have any money?

You're a smart man.

Go figure something out.

I'll be back tomorrow night to collect.

[SCREAMING]

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Who are you?

Huh?

You speak English?

Yes, I'm speaking English.

Oh, fuck.

Oh.

[LAUGHTER]

What happened?

Do you need some help?

No, no, I'm all right.

Who steals the keys to the car, they don't take the car?

It doesn't make s... sense.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Are you sure you're OK to drive?

[BARKING]

[PHONE RINGING]

What?

Your father just entered that soothsayer shop.

What?

Soothsayer?

Yeah that psychic the police use to find missing people.

The guy really has a gift, he famous.

Fuck.

Sit tight, I'll call you back.

Angie?

[MOANING]

Angie?

What's going on?

Tell me.

Talk to me.

I can't do it.

No, no, just listen to me.

Let's just talk about this, all right?

I can't do this.

Listen.

Not now.

Not now?

Not now, then when?

Now is when I need you more than fucking ever.

The fucking world is closing in on me, baby.

Let's talk about this.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

What are you talking about?

Listen to yourself.

We have to leave tomorrow.

Why do you think I'm doing all this?

I love you more than anything in the world.

All I want to do is take care of you.

It's not right.

What's not right?

Is this about him?

What do you think it's about?

He's my husband.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I mean, this guy, he's a fucking pimp!

All right, a pimp!

He made you suck and fuck 1,000 cocks before he married you!

How can you even call him your husband?

Let go of me!

Angie.

Please listen to me, babe.

Everything I've done has been for you and for our baby.

All the plans that I've made.

Why can't we just wait?

I wish we could wait.

But we can't.

Everything's falling apart.

Please, I'm begging you.

I sent a man out on a job.

And now he's missing.

Missing with what?

Everything.

Be more specific.

He's missing with money, a lot of money, a million euros,

to be exact.

Six months ago, one of my girls was entertaining this Russian.

Out of nowhere comes his wife, wild look in her eyes

like she just drank a bucket of blood.

It happened so fast.

[GUN SHOTS]

Pow.

[SOBBING]

Shut up.

Shut up.

You could hand it over to the police.

Yeah right, the police.

What the fuck do you think they would have done?

Why shouldn't I have a pay day for once in my fucking life?

I need this money.

You are a drug dealer.

I can't provide help in matters like this.

Yeah, yeah, well I'm aware of that.

I was hoping you might make an exception in this case.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Yeah.

I'll be going then.

If it was anything else.

Maybe you can tell me, does my wife love me?

And is my little boy really my son?

[PHONE RINGING]

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Hello?

Wemba's here.

What?

Wemba's here.

He just arrived.

You should come back to the club.

Are you OK?

Everything's fine.

Just come back to the club, because he's here.

OK, I'll be right there.

That was my wife.

My man's come back.

So I'll be going.

Oh, and that question, you know, forget... why bother?

Anyway.

Goodbye, old friend.

Goodbye.

[PHONE RINGING]

What?

Hey, man, your father just left the shop.

I know.

How the fuck do you know?

Just get in there.

And find out what he told him, yeah?

You go to school?

Yes, I go to school.

What are you studying?

A lot of thing.

I take a lot of different class.

I don't know.

You don't know or you don't want to tell me?

Bookkeeping.

What's bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is similar to accounting.

Why aren't you studying accounting?

When I was a little girl, I wanted to become a doctor.

But my grandma always told me it was easier to become a nurse.

If I wanted to become an accountant, I would

become an accountant, but...

But you want to be a bookkeeper.

Yes, I wanted to be a bookkeeper.

What kind of job do you have right now?

I really... I kind of want to have quiet, please, right now.

I appreciate you to do this for me.

But I really don't want to talk right now.

Can we stop up here?

I need to go to the bathroom.

I cannot... I cannot do this.

I cannot make stop right know.

You have to wait until we get to the city.

I'm sorry.

Please, I really need to go.

I cannot do this.

I don't have time.

There is no time for stop.

Do you understand this?

I'll be right back.

I have to drive now, excuse me.

Are you sure you're OK?

Yes, I'm fine.

Look, I'm sorry about what I said before.

You know, about you being a bookkeeper.

It really sounds like a good thing to do.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

I told you.

I don't want to talk.

I will take you to the city.

And then you can do what you like.

But for the rest of the ride, I don't want to talk.

Talking, talking, I have something very important to do.

[BARKING]

Shit, he won't say nothing.

(PAUL) What?

I said, he's not cooperating!

Fucking make him cooperate.

What do you want me to do, man?

Put him on the phone with me.

Please, he won't talk.

Just put the fucking phone up to his ear.

All right, I'll try!

But don't yell, OK?

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Listen to me, you old bastard.

There was a man who was just in your store.

And I know you talked to him.

And I want to know actually what you told him.

And I want to know right fucking now.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

I'm waiting.

This passive resistance bullshit just doesn't

fly with me, motherfucker.

This is your one and only chance to come clean.

Now, I'm looking for a missing African named Wemba.

And I want you to use whatever fucking

mystical bullshit that you do to tell me where I can find him.

I can hear you fucking breathing, buddy.

Rodrigo!

What did I tell you?

Tell him that if he doesn't cooperate,

you're going to shoot his dog.

What?

I'm not going to shoot his dog, man.

Yeah, you are going to shoot his fucking dog.

It's no good, man.

It's no good.

Let me explain something to you, OK?

We're fucked forever if we don't find this African dude.

OK, that means no money.

No money for you, no money for me, no money for anybody,

we might as well just jump in front of a fucking train.

Am I getting through to you?

Yeah.

Now, I want you to take the phone, put it to his ear.

And then I want you to take your gun

and point it at the fucking dog.

Got it?

And when I give you the word, you shoot.

Ready?

Listen, old man, I have instructed my ape

to shoot your dog if you do not cooperate

and answer my questions.

This is your last fucking chance, old man.

You will tell me where the fuck I can find Wemba.

Or I will blow your dog's fucking brains out.

Do you understand me?

Rodrigo!

Yeah?

Shoot the dog.

But I...

Shoot it.

Shoot the fucking dog, you cocksucker!

It's a fucking dog!

Do it!

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Fucking shoot the god damn dog!

[BARKING]

[GUN SHOT]

Fuck.

Bring him to the club.

And I'll make him talk.

Fuck!

[SCREAMING]

[SOBBING]

Angie.

[SOBBING]

[CARNIVAL SOUNDS]

Hey, Dad.

What the fuck's going on?

I have something to tell you.

It better be good.

Well, that depends on your perspective.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Maybe you better sit down.

No.

I have to find Wemba.

What?

I have to find him fast.

He's not here?

No.

Then why did Angie call me and tell me he was?

I'm cutting you out.

What?

I'm cutting you out.

You're cutting me out of what?

I'm cutting you out of your share of the money.

Angie, what the fuck's he talking about?

Angie doesn't know anything about this.

Let me get this straight.

You think you're going to take my share of the money.

Yeah.

Money, that's paying for my house,

my kid's college tuition, money that's rightfully mine.

It's not rightfully yours.

You found it.

It's dirty money.

Dirty money belongs to anybody who has it.

You're out of your fucking mind.

You need this money to pay off your gambling debts, right?

In theory, yeah, but they're not getting paid either.

No one's getting paid.

I really want more out of life.

So you steal from your father?

I'll give you the club.

You pathetic fucking junkie.

What makes you think I'd ever let you take it from me?

You don't have a choice.

Is Wemba in on this?

No, the dishwasher double-crossed us.

You're the double-crosser, kid.

Enough back and forth!

We've got to find fucking Wemba.

And we've got to do it now.

Listen to me, you stupid fuck.

I was out there looking for him when you called

me with your dumbass game.

I know where you were.

And I know what you were doing.

Well, how are you going to find him here?

Sorry about your dog.

You son of a bitch!

Stop it!

This is good.

You can drop me anywhere around here.

Your grandmother lives here?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Which building?

That one over there.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure.

You think I don't know where my own grandma lives?

All right, then.

Take care of yourself.

OK, you too.

Thanks for the ride.

No problem.

Take care, have a nice life.

Wh... hey, hey.

- What are you going? - What?

You said your grandmother's house is there.

Mind your own fucking business.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

I don't know.

I live here on the top floor.

It's apartment 5B.

OK.

You can take the key.

Look, this is really nice of you.

I appreciate it.

It's no problem.

I won't be home till very late.

So you can sleep the bed.

I'll sleep on the couch when I...

No, I can sleep on the couch, no problem.

No, no, it's all right.

I don't mind.

OK.

Um, I have to go.

I really have to go now.

Oh, OK, thanks.

I don't even know your name.

Wemba.

Nice to meet you, Wemba.

My name is Monique.

[GUN SHOTS]

What the fuck was that?

I don't know!

[HONKING]

Stay down!

You stay down!

[GUNSHOTS]

What the fuck is he doing?

Please drive faster!

Come on!

What are you doing?

Why are you stopping?

I have to slow down.

The police will stop us.

Let them stop us.

Are you fucking crazy?

What?

What's in the fucking bag?

Is that him?

That's him.

[GUNSHOTS]

Come on!

The keys!

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Try this one.

Come on.

[BANGING]

The door's locked from the outside.

We're trapped!

[BANGING]

Stand back! Stand back!

He's coming!

He's coming!

He's coming!

[GUNSHOTS]

Police!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Monique!

Are you all right?

Monique!

Monique, what happened to you?

Monique?

Monique?

What is wrong with you?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIRENS]

[SNORTING]

Where's Lazar?

He's sleeping in room three.

Lazar's fine.

Do you want to read him a bedtime story?

You have really become the picture of the doting father

in your old age, you know that?

He has.

What's the matter?

Don't you want the truth to come out?

You know, we're family here, aren't we?

Families don't have secrets from each other.

Everything should just be on the table.

What are you getting at?

No secrets.

Honesty is the best policy.

The truth shall set us free.

Thou shalt not lie.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.

Thou shalt not kill.

Paul, your father's head is bleeding.

He should see a doctor now.

What about my fucking head!

Do you think he deserves any sympathy?

Did you ever tell her about what happened when mom got sick?

Why don't you?

Go ahead.

You can't, can you?

All right, I will.

When the doctors cut my mother's breasts off and sent her home

to die, he hired a nurse to change her diapers

and to give her morphine shots.

One afternoon, I was in the backyard.

And I hear this noise.

It sounded like a wounded animal.

And so I went into the house.

And I ran upstairs to my mom's room.

And there she was.

And she was just... I... she was making this sound that was...

I couldn't understand her.

I said, where's the nurse?

And so I ran downstairs.

And I found her.

She was, um, in the dining room table,

just lying on it there on her back.

And he was just finishing up giving her

a... what would say it was, like a gynecological examination

with his tongue?

You heard the whole thing.

You could hear her upstairs.

She was writing in agony with stage four cancer, 4C.

There's no fucking five!

She couldn't breathe.

She couldn't scream.

She was just... and you did nothing!

Only thing you cared about was just eating

this fucking nurse's pussy.

And you expect my sympathy?

Paul, stop it!

Just shut up.

You gonna shoot me?

Shut the fuck up!

Are you?

Go right ahead.

[GUNSHOTS]

[GROANING]

[GUNSHOT]

[SOBBING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GROANING]

[COUGHING]

[SOBBING]

I tried to call you.

You have the money?

Yes, I have.

Yes, I have your money.

One last favor.

What is it?

Take my wife and son away from here.

Go now, before the cops come.

I'm not leaving.

You have to go.

I'm not leaving.

You have to go.

And take Lazar.

I won't leave.

You have no choice.

[SOBBING]

Take her.

No!

No.

Take Lazar.

Please, we have to leave, please.

Come with me, please.

I don't want to go.

Please, come with me, please.

Hand it over.

Please, Africa, hand it over.

No.

Please, man, give it to me.

I will not give it to you.

Shit, man.

Don't make me kill you.

I'm not afraid of you.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Give me the fucking bag, man!

Rodrigo, you must move.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Give me the fucking bag, man!

[GUNSHOTS]

Go.

[MOANING]

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

That question you asked me before,

you want to hear the truth?

Truth?

Nah, I know.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
