I've got a letter for you.

Come on, let's talk.

Sit down.

I'll get you in.

It seems that you also have a little age-problem.

- How old are you? - Thirty two.

You're over age, but I'll work that out.

Why don't you start the paper work? There's something about his age...

This guy Molinari owes me a couple of favors.

You'll do fine.

- Will you come with me, Inspector, please - Sure.

Wait here a second. They'll call you.

Stop it! Stop it, men!

Does he have his papers in order?

They will be ready in three days.

Very well, what can I do for him?

Give him some desk job,

keep an eye on him until he starts the training course.

So, Mendoza, do you want to be a police officer?

Yes, sir.

Do you know where you're getting into?

- Do you know it or not? - Yes.

What do you want me to do?

Wait a second.

Here, I'll do it right in front of you.

This is Mendoza. He's starting today to work with us.

Get him some clothes, and for the moment, assign him some duties in here.

- Is it okay? - Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Mendoza, welcome to La Bonaerense police.

Thank you, sir.

May God help you.

We always attach the fingerprints to the criminal record, okay?

and then you take down his name, and all the relevant data,

such as children, etc. Etc.

Very well. Personal description or physical disabilities, .

I don't know... if he's lame, if he wears glasses,

if he's cross-eyed, or if he stutters. whatever...

Then the unit where he finished his military service.

Yes, I understand. What I don't get is what comes next.

Very well, but I'm with this right now.

Are you listening to me or are you somewhere else?

- Listen to me. - Yes.

After that comes motive for his identification.

It's very clear when you read it.

Okay, I understand.

But for instance, when I say Criminal Procedure, what am I referring to?

Criminal Procedure? What it means is if there were...

What are you looking at that is more important than your question?

You are wasting my time.

No, no, please... I'm sorry.

No, Chief, please, let me handle it. Don't you trust me?

- Don't risk your life on no account! - Caneva, come with me.

- Call... - I'm not running any risks, Inspector.

I can handle this perfectly. Come on, come with me.

What's wrong with you, Gallo? Why risking your life like this?

Do you know what the problem is, Osorio? When it's not the car, it's the gas...

When it's not the gas, it's... I'm sick and tired of all this...

What's going on now?

No one pays me any attention!

This is a fucking mess, man, a fucking mess!

I don't know who the hell...

But I'll get killed...

Ronco asked for a doctor. I called him. Didn't you call him?

Calling Ronco is none of my business.

How do I have to explain it to you?

Is there no way that you can understand me?

Will you ever understand me, Osorio? Tell me the truth!

So what now? Do I have to go alone?

Isn't here one fucking officer who listens to what I'm saying?

I don't give a shit about Ronco and you know it.

What do you want me to say, take any cop and get the hell out of here!

How do I have to say it?

- But, no... - No, what?

But how are we going to get there? Walking? By bus?

Walk, take a bus, I don't give a shit how you get there.

You may go by bus, or you can crawl on your knees, if you like,

but get the fuck out!

And listen to me, Osorio, if you don't do as I'm saying,

I'll kick your ass out.

Go with him.

It's no big deal.

Take him with you and go. Now.

- And what does he know? - Come on, beat it, beat it.

Haven't you seen Ronco?

No, I haven't heard from him. Have you?

I did an extra yesterday...

- He really fucked me up! - Why?

Look who they sent me! He doesn't know a thing!

Oops! Here's your friend.

I'll call him this afternoon.

Tell him I said hi.

Hi, how are you?

How are you, Sergeant?

Hey, kid, this is for you.

Summer course.

- Aspirin, an aspiring officer... - Swimming pool, sauna...

- Go wash yourself up, Mendoza. - Brace up, Aspirin

Very well, men, you're nothing but a bunch of worms.

You have to kiss my feet.

Move, drag your body, come on...

Everybody here... Everybody here...

Back, back, go back!

Come on, you worms!

Come here, you relentless biped!

Don't touch the ground! Don't touch the ground! Come on!

What's the matter with you? Why are you looking at me?

- Do you fancy me? - No, sir.

- Sir what? - Sergeant Instructor, sir.

Up! Down!

Clench your fists!

There...! Hold it!

You are nothing but a worm.

Hold it! Hold it! Down!

I'm going to ask you where are you from...

and you are going to answer "From La Matanza".

I want to hear it! Up!

- Where are you from, men? - From La Matanza!

The first rank you'll obtain is that of Corporal.

After that, comes Corporal first class

Then Sergeant,

Sergeant first class

What rank is this?

Sergeant.

What do you mean, Sergeant?

What are you laughing at?

How many times do I have to say it?

Corporal! The first rank

Article 81 of the Criminal Code

mentions another type of homicide which is called manslaughter.

This means death is caused beyond the damage.

What does this mean? That the damage exists,

but not the intention of causing death.

If you and I have a political argument,

well, I did mean to push you, but I had no intention of killing you.

Cocaine is an alkaloid.

It comes from the erythroxylon cocae bush.

Chemically, it comes from tropine.

It's a very powerful cerebral stimulant,

producing an anphetamine effect.

It's a strong vasoconstrictor,

anesthetic and analgesic.

What are you laughing at?

Applicant! I'm talking to you!

Who, me?

- Yes, you. - I wasn't laughing.

Okay, keep it on like this...

Keep on talking, keep on laughing and making faces...

We'll see how you do on examination day.

All the crimes we see every day...

You have to be always attentive here.

Everybody is a wiseguy here.

They want to set you up.

That's the way it is. You have to look after yourself.

The worst thing that can happen to you,

is to end up making a hero out of a fucking nigger.

They blow you away for nothing.

There will always be someone who wants to become a hero by killing you.

That's how they advance in their career.

What do you mean, they advance in their career?

Sure, there are four of them, three kill a cop, the fourth one has to kill a cop too.

What a mess, man!

What is this? Are you pigs or what?

Are you pigs? Do you like to live in this shit?

I want everything to be clean here, understood? Lmpeccable!

You, come over here. Breathe.

You! Come here!

Watch it! I won't say it again!

If I ever catch you drinking, you'll never know what hit you. Is that clear?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Who's that guy?

What's he doing here? What are you doing here?

He's staying here for a couple of days.

What do you mean staying here? This isn't a hotel, man.

You, present yourself!

Applicant Mendoza, sir!

Applicant my ass!

Applicants are at the training course.

Where is your gun?

I don't have a gun, sir.

- What's your name? - Enrique Orlando Mendoza.

Listen to me, Mendoza. A cop with no gun ain't a cop.

If a crazy motherfucker shows up with a gun, what are you going to tell him?

That you're an applicant?

- The chief, sir. - Inspector Molinari, sir.

Aja. Very well then.

Give me the reports.

They're in the drawer, chief.

I didn't ask where they were. Give them to me now!

- But the lock is broken. - What the fuck do I care? Break the drawer.

Sir, if you'll allow me, I think I can help...

- Do you know how to do that? - Yes, sir.

Okay then, go ahead. Berti, come here.

There it is... Very good, kid, very good.

How did you do it?

- I'm a locksmith, sir. - Very good, congratulations.

Excuse me, chief.

This is for you.

- How long have you been a locksmith? - A couple of years.

And what are you doing here?

My uncle reccomended me.

- Your uncle? - Yes.

- What's his name? - Ismael Mendoza. He was a principal.

Principal?

And when did you arrive?

A few days ago.

- And are these guys treating you right? - Yes, yes.

Very good.

Okay, look, this is my personal Browning 68.

I'll give it to you. When you get your piece you'll give it back to me.

Do you know how to use it?

- Well... - Don't aim at me.

Sorry. While I did the military service, sometimes...

Put it away.

Good. Now, don't blow your balls aways, okay?

No, sir.

- Deputy Inspector Gallo, okay? - Very good.

- Shall I shut the door? - Yes, please.

Take care, okay?

- Thanks. - Let's go.

Excuse me, Professor, may I help you?

No, it's okay. Thanks.

- But aren't they too heavy? - No, no...

- Are you sure? Let me help you. - No, it's okay.

- Come on, let me help you. - No, thanks. I can manage.

- Let me walk you inside. - No, it's okay. I can do it. Thank you.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

That's what I call good service.

It's hot the blonde, isnt' she?

- Yes, she's hot. - Real hot.

I bang her...

- Yeah, sure... - I mean it.

You bang the blonde?

Yeah, really... Since I first came here.

When intercepting a private car,

you must always do it from the left side,

which means that the car has to be

to the right

and half of the patrol car to the left.

Go on. Stop.

Do it all over again!

This is what we call a deadly trap.

It's a door. If we stay standing here too long,

So, the gun at 45��, okay?

At 45��... Draw it... There...

Don't aim at me, because you die.

The glance must be quick, very quick. I give a look and that's it.

The orders you can exchange are:

Cover me. Look. Look. Cover.

This is cover. This is look.

Be careful with the gun.

Grasp the gun properly.

Do it like I taught you... There... Thumb over thumb.

Thumb over thumb. You'll rip off your finger like that.

You animal!

Listen to me, Mendoza...

How many times do I have to say it?

Do you care for your life? Do you care for your life?

Yes, Instructor Sergeant.

Do you want to be a cop?

If you keep on entering like that, you'll get yourself killed.

Put on ear protection.

Get guns ready. Aim at the target.

Load.

Release the groove.

Shooter ready...

Fire!

Why do you put the lock? Idiot!

Where are you going to, Applicant?

Route 3 and General Paz.

Do you want a ride?

No, don't bother, Professor.

Come on, I'll give you a ride.

- No, no... - Why not?

- No, let me go, let me go. - No way I'm letting you go.

- No, no... - Go on, go on...

There? Yes, I like that!

No, stop it, stop it! Let me go, let me go!

No, let me go, no, no! I don't want to!

Stop it! No!

It's okay.

What the hell is going on here?

This motherfucker is fooling around with my woman!

- So this is all about women? - Yes, sir.

- Can you take it? - Yes, Instructor Sergeant.

Fight, then.

Stop!

Stop! If anyone starts a fight again, he'll have to deal with me.

Cut it out. Enough!

I'll see you both at the Division.

Casares... Gonzalez... No, Mendoza isn't here.

But Corporal, you told me last week to come today.

Look, they are checking the list and you're not in there.

It's not in the envelopes either...

You'll have to come by next Monday.

But what will I do for Christmas?

- Come next Monday. - What?

Come next Monday.

You promised me that I woud have my money this Monday.

It's the third month that I don't get paid, Inspector.

I told you we were going to discuss it, Mendoza.

But I have to pay the room...

I've already told you, Mendoza.

How many times do you want me to say it?

Do you think that because I'm sitting here I get anyone to pay any attention to me?

No, it's not like that...

Have mercy, Mendoza...

Let me spend Christmas in peace, okay?

That's all I'm asking.

- Nothing else. - Very good, sir.

Mendoza, wait for me outside. We'll talk.

Did you want to see me, sir?

Marina, what's going on with Mendoza?

How come he hasn't collected his salary yet?

- I haven't received anything for him yet. - So, are you a statue or what?

Of course not.

Of course not?

If you don't do your job,

Mendoza will never get paid.

Mendoza is our mate,

do you understand it?

- Yes, sir, but I... - No excuses, Marina, no excuses.

It's your responsibility.

- Domenico, did you get paid? - Yes, sir.

- Ramirez, did you get paid? - Yes, sir.

- Mendoza, did you get paid? - No, sir.

Give him some cash money, okay?

- Yes, sir. Permission to leave, sir. - Go, go.

Mendoza...

Don't you go and gamble the money, like these assholes do, okay?

- No, sir. - Go.

- Thank you, sir. - I do my best.

Where are you going to spend Christmas?

Well, give my regards to uncle Ismael.

Yeah, I know... Listen...

Have you heard anything from Polaco?

Nothing. Okay.

Merry Christmas, mom.

- Here, Mendoza, for Christmas. - Thanks.

Okay, I'm leaving. See you tomorrow.

Bye, see you tomorrow.

What are you still doing here? Didn't you have the day off?

Yes, but I've got nothing to do.

And your family? Your home?

My family is very far away.

And where will you spend Christmas?

I don't know.

Corridor to the left.

Come on!

Stop. Face to the wall.

Wait here for the officer on duty.

Calm down and everything will be easier.

Will you please wait in line?

- Please... - I'll be right with you, but please wait in line.

I'll give it to you. Just wait a second, please.

What do you need? A form?

Come here and fill it, please.

I'll be right with you.

Would you mind moving a little, please? I'll be right with you.

Do you think I can stay here all day?

- Would you like a chair? - Please, miss, will you listen to me?

- Please, I'm asking you... - We're working here, lady.

Do you know what date is today?

I don't care, you have to listen to me.

That's how you make a living.

You could pay us a little more attention, after all, we pay your salary, you know.

How about a raise, then?

Professor, this is your pupil, Applicant Mendoza.

Can you please call your boss, boy?

I want to speak to your boss.

...best wishes for you and your family...

And just in case, happy New Year too. We're pretty busy here...

but we're fine.

Merry Christmas, then Bye.

- Boy, this is too much... - I'll be right with you.

Let's light a firecracker.

Let's toast. It might be our last.

Bite your tongue.

- But it will be for good, you'll see. - Why?

You know, Inspector, you know.

Because of those heavenly creatures you're always talking about?

They are beings, heavenly beings who will come to take us.

They will take us back where we belong,

because millions of years ago, they brought us to this planet,

and now they'll come to take us back.

But I don't want to go. I'd miss it here terribly.

You, would you go?

If they come to take me with them, I'm ready for the big journey.

They will take us all before the Armageddon.

No shit.

- They will take us all? - All of us.

The Paraguayans,

the Chinese... the Jews too?

All those racial differences are too mundane, too worldly...

- Tell me, Caneva. Do you drink? - No, sir.

I'll be on duty on the 31st, so now I'm going to beat it.

- Merry Christmas! - Have a nice time!

Merry Christmas for you all, guys!

Merry Christmas, Molinari!

In the mountains, there is a volcano,

and under the volcano there is an underground city.

They have their headquarters there, and the UFOs go out from there,

and then they come back again.

Valeria Lynch, the singer, she saw them...

- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas!

Bye. See you later.

- Bye. - Merry Christmas.

- You're really something, you know that? - I mean it, I'll phone her.

I'll phone her and tell her to come over.

Call her, call her.

- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas!

This is Radio Bolivariana, your radio in West Buenos Aires.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

Go fuck yourself, you motherfucker!

Stop! Stop!

Leave me alone, you motherfucker!

We're here to solve community problems,

because we're part of the community.

There can't be an opposition between the police force

and the common, law-abiding citizens.

Problems can't be solved neither with weakness,

nor by being trigger-happy, gentlemen.

We're embarking on a new stage

where ethics and morality shall prevail

Is that clear?

What I want from you is conduct and discipline.

From now on, we'll have discipline.

And those who don't like it, can ask for transfer.

And if someone feels uncomfortable about it, he can also apply for retirement.

Because he's going to have a bad time.

So, to sum it all up, what I'm asking...

is for your sacrifice,

and I'll set the example.

That's all. Thank you.

May I take your picture?

Yes, sure.

I want to welcome you on behalf of the whole staff.

- It's complicated. - I don't care.

Do what you have to do

He's getting slippery.

Listen, Caneva, we have an agreement.

I'm giving you an order. Follow it.

Excuse me, Inspector. I need your signature here.

- Sure. Listen to me. - Good morning, Mendoza.

Excuse me. Good morning, Principal.

Mendoza, have you met Principal Caneva?

- We've met. - Yes.

I trust him completely.

From now on, I want you to do everything he says.

He handles delicate assignments, special investigations...

I want you to start getting acquainted with the job.

- Okay? - Yes, sir.

- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.

There's something else I wanted to tell you.

You're a locksmith, aren't you?

or at least you manage to do that, no?

I need you to help me with the repairs.

There are a few locks that need to be adjusted.

Think you can do that?

- Wait outside. - Yes, sir.

Everything is dirty here.

There's nothing to discuss, Caneva. It has to be done and that's it.

It has to be done. Follow my orders.

- Hello. - Hello.

- I'm Mendoza. - What can I do for you?

I'm Caneva's assistant.

- Caneva? - Yes.

- And why isn't he here? - He's out there.

Why didn't he come in?

He's waiting outside.

Go get him.

How are you, man?

- How are you? - Everything okay?

Here it is.

- Cool, man, cool. - The kid will come next time, okay?

Sure, sure.

Look what I've got here.

Here's the envelope you like so much.

Come on, put it away.

He'll deal with you.

You won't have any problems with him.

- Is he new? - Yes, he's new but I trust him completely.

He's getting acquainted with the area.

Come on, we're almost there.

Julian, sweetie...

Come on, baby. Let's go to bed.

- Who is he? - A friend.

Come on, baby.

I'll be right back.

- Do you want to eat something? - Okay.

Do you want?

Why didn't you tell me you had a son?

It just didn't come up.

How old is he?

He's ten and his name is Julian.

Excuse me, sir.

Did you need me?

What happened to you?

The bus broke down.

But do you know what time it is?

I know, but I had to take two buses to get here.

Why two buses? There's one that takes you right here.

Fuck, man! You'll never stop being a peasant!

Very good, sir.

Will that be all?

Close the door.

Is everything okay with Caneva?

Yes, sir. Why?

- Have you noticed anything odd? - No, no.

Keep your eyes wide open and your mouth shut.

You only report to me,

is that clear?

Some ancient tribes worshipped the moon, you know.

It's so very clear today.

Are those creatures watching us, Caneva?

They're always

watching everything we do and say.

That's why they are so angry at us.

Hey, look...

- Wait, wait... - Which one do you prefer?

Wait, I want to see it on you.

Leave the spaghetti, leave them there.

Come on, try it on.

Stay still.

- I want you to take care of yourself. - Okay.

- Yes? - Come on, let's go.

Stop, stop. I want to see it on you.

We will now give their diplomas

to the new police officers of Buenos Aires.

So you haven't heard anything from him?

No. Someone told me he's in Buenos Aires.

That motherfucker really fucked me up!

Remember you have to go back to town.

Leave me alone, please. Don't be such a pain in the ass.

He's jealous. He can't stand us being happy.

Come on, mom, come on.

Take us a nice picture, come on...

Okay, take another one.

That's it.

Against the wall! Come on!

Give me that bottle.

Against the wall! Come on!

Spread your legs, come on! Don't move!

Where are you from?

- From Laferrere. - Where?

From Laferrere

Where are you going?

- To buy some cigarettes. or are you going to buy cigarettes?

Hands up, come on!

You too... Spread your legs.

What do you have there?

Search him, search him.

Between the legs...

To the ground, now!

Don't move any of you.

Nice sneakers you've got there.

- Let's go. - Wait a second.

Come on, let's go.

- What a neighbourhood... - Come on, let's go.

Come on, give me your hand.

1, 2, 3... there you go!

- How much? - One peso.

- Here. Thanks. Bye. - Bye.

So you finished the course...

That's it... Now you're a cop...

And you'll get to meet lots of dirty sluts.

Very well... and what are you?

Aren't you a cop too?

- Yes. - So...?

But that's what most of them are, a bunch of motherfuckers.

And why can't I be like you?

- Because... - Oh, what do you know!

What do you mean go upstairs? I won't go upstairs!

Going downstairs? I won't go downstairs!

You won't fuck me. I won't fuck you, you're fucked.

You're an intelligent man, tell me: is the monkey a quadruped or...

how was it, a biparous?

- A biped. - Biped, Marina, biped.

Monkeys have evolved...

In the animal evolving scale, there's no doubt monkeys have evolved.

And there are certain human beings, that, although they're just non-feathered bipeds,

they are much more than just primates.

For instance, what I was saying about Lanza.

Lanza was born black, but he joined the Force,

he bettered himself, he studied, and here we have him now.

Lanza is a perfect example

of the guy who just doesn't want to remain a fucking nigger.

That's true democracy.

The possibility of evolving...

in spite of genetics.

He might be black,

but he ain't a fucking nigger.

You don't get me, I'm no racist.

- Why do you say that? - What? Is he blond, by any chance?

Come on... I don't think he's black.

What a mess! What's going on here?

- Caneva! - Yes, sir!

Will this party take long?

No, sir, we took a little more for lunch...

Put this in order. Take this away.

- Hello. How are you? - What did you bring us?

There's some new stuff. I'll show you...

You're new, aren't you?

I have some weapons...

- This one is great! - That's it. There are several...

I brought Glock... I brought laser weapons...

but I think that what you'll be more interested in...

...is one of the official pieces.

You can buy it, you can use it.

Check it out. It's a 9 mm. 13 shots

It comes with two loaders.

Always aim that way.

Precisely. You, the rookie, please handle the gun properly.

- I have the official piece. - But you can't even kill yourself with that.

This piece has been tampered with. These weapons are new.

- Yes, I know, but... - These are the guns used by special teams.

I like it, Inspector, but I can't afford it.

You don't have to pay it, they'll deduct it from your salary.

I know and I really like it, but I can't buy it.

- Go on, make him a discount. - It's very cheap already.

Make him a discount. He's one of my guys.

- Let him touch it. - Don't give it another thought.

Now we'll do the paperwork, you sign, and it's done.

Mendoza. Come here. I want to introduce you.

Constable Mendoza, Adriana.

- How do you do? - How do you do?

- You haven't met before, have you? - No, no.

Call me later.

- When are you coming back? - I don't know.

- Remember the birthday party. - Okay, bye.

- I'll be back tonight. - So I go to the party by myself?

No, wait for me. Call me later at the office.

- Okay. Bye. - Bye.

- Did you get paid, finally? - Yes, yesterday.

Good.

This is for the extras.

And start looking for a decent place to sleep.

Yes, I've been looking,

but they ask me for a deposit and a co-signer.

I told you, go to Rabigliati Real Estate.

Tell them I sent you, I'll take care of everything.

- Well, great. - You can't go on living like that.

- Okay? - Yes.

Excuse me, Chief.

One other thing... Listen...

It's Caneva. I don't know what's the matter with him.

I think he's letting himself go.

I'm sick and tired of him.

He's driving me crazy with all this moon shit he's always talking about...

I don't know where it's going to end. I'm planning to replace him.

What do you think?

Think you can do it?

- Me? Doing his job? - Yes.

- I don't know, if you think so... - Yes, of course.

- Yes, I think I can manage. - Do you dare to?

Yes.

Good afternoon. Mr. Mendoza?

- Yes. - Nice to meet you.

But it's not here. It's the apartment next door.

- Have you been looking around? - Yes, a little.

It's a very good neighbourhood, you won't have any problems here.

All the buses you might need, plenty of supermarkets...

Anyway, here's the building.

As you can see, there are lots of doorbells,

but most of the apartments are empty.

We have the apartment where lives a therapist, and the one I'll show you.

- Very well. - So I think you won't have any problems.

Excuse me.

As you can see, there's plenty of light in the apartment.

And it doesn't face the street.

We'll take care of this little problem with the blind.

The apartment is quite big: 30 square meters.

There's plenty of light.

We have already talked with Gallo about the co-signature.

I don't know if you want to sign the lease immediately.

500 liters last a week, Dr.

Let's be flexible... 800 liters.

Let's make round numbers. Shall we say 1,000?

Okay, 1,000. There's no big difference.

Okay, 1,000; but on one condition: we'll meet for a nice scotch together.

- Absolutely. - No! No scotch! A dinner, at least.

Come on, Gallo. We already know each other.

- Give me the sweetener, Mendoza. - We're out of it.

- See what I mean, Dr? - Not even sweetener...

Let me introduce you Constable Mendoza.

- Nice to meet you, Constable. - How do you do?

- He's replacing Caneva. - What happened to Caneva?

We're just renewing the staff, making some adjustments.

- You know Gallo, don't you? - Yes, sure.

I'm his assistant now.

Really? Nice to meet you.

The point is that first there came Navarro,

then came Guerra, and now... what's your name?

- Mendoza. - And now comes Mendoza.

And maybe tomorrow Juan or Pedro will come by.

- Very well. - Tell me, what can I do for you?

No, you tell me.

I don't know why you're here. Would you like to drink something?

But you know Gallo, don't you?

Yes, sure.

We can give him a call, if you want.

I don't think that will be necessary.

I don't know... Maybe I'll go drink a little wine,

- We could do something. - Tell me.

Let's have a little talk... but not here. It's too crowded in here.

- Let's go somewhere else. - Great.

- Please. - Very well.

Are you working tomorrow?

I've got the night shift.

In the morning I'm free.

Okay... Thanks for walking me home.

What?

- Shall we go inside? - Where?

What's wrong with you?

To tell you the truth, I don't want you to stay here tonight.

Tomorrow I have to get up very early

and I want to be alone.

Let's do this...

Give me a cup of coffee and then I leave...

Come on, let's go inside.

- Coffee? - No.

- Would you like some tea? - No.

- What would you like? - Nothing.

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing at all.

Are you sure?

I don't like what you're doing.

And what am I doing?

You know.

- No, I don't know. - Yes, you do know.

Stop it, stop it.

The boy will wake up... Please... stop it.

What are you doing awake?

I'm playing cards.

Why?

I'm playing cards because I'm not sleepy.

You should go to sleep...

Who do you think you are? Get the hell out of here!

I'll go, but you'd better go to sleep.

No! Get out!

Very well... I'm leaving...

- Mendoza. - Yes?

- Someone's looking for you. - Who is it?

I don't know... A man.

What are you doing here, you motherfucker?

It hasn't been easy for me, either.

They stole everything from me.

clothes, machines. They took everything

and they shut down the shop.

- So what? - So what?

Look at you...

It turned out well for you, Zapa

Look at me and look at you...

If not for me, you wouldn't even be a cop.

So give me a break.

What do you want, Polaco?

I couldn't sleep thinking of you.

Not even jerking off I could sleep.

I'm on duty, Polaco. Get the hell out of here.

- So? - Beat it!

Wait, don't go! Where are you going?

Come here, I've a business deal for you.

And it's really big.

For both of us. We'll make it big this time.

Lower your voice.

Don't be an asshole. Don't you trust me?

We'll make it big.

Don't be an asshole.

Zapa, this is really big...

- I mean it, it's really big... - Go fuck yourself, Polaco.

What's wrong, Mendoza? What's up, baby?

To the ground, damn it, to the ground!

Stop it! Stop it!

Don't move!

Stop! You're going to kill him!

Don't move or I'll shoot you!

Hello... Mabel? Listen...

You have my number, don't you?

It's the third time I call you...

Please call me back.

Bye...

- Who is it? - It's Zapa, Mabel.

- What do you want? - What?

- Go away, please. - Let me in. 5 minutes, that's all.

- Bye. Bye. - Hey, listen to me!

Open the door, Mabel!

- What do you want? - Open the door, let me in.

- I was sleeping... - What? I can't hear you...

- Some other day. - What other day?

We'll talk some other day.

- Open the door so we can talk. - I don't want you to come here ever again!

Have you gone nuts?

Go away! I don't want to see you ever again!

Go with Gallo. He'll confort you...

And you go inside, I'm getting tired of you too!

Mabel, you crazy bitch, come down and open the door!

Abdala, Lanza! There they are! Cut the bridge!

We have an officer down! Go bring him! Come on! Run!

What the hell is going on, man? Come on, I need more light!

Cover me! Come on! You, come with me!

Zapa, draw your gun, you asshole!

Stay down. Stay here.

I'll go right front. Stay there.

Stay there, Lanza.

They were going to kill us, weren't they?

But no! Who's going to kill you?

Come on, kid! No one's going to kill you!

Do you think these fucking niggers can kill you?

Haven't you seen them?

They were shit-scared.

They were going to end up badly if they hadn't given themselves in!

- Are you feeling better? - Yes, yes, sir.

- Chief... - What?

Now, that everything's calmer...

there's something I need to tell you...

A guy showed up...

He used to be my boss, back in my hometown.

Here. Here it is.

There's nothing here, Polaco.

There it is! Do you see it?

Come on, hurry up. Grab it all...

Give it to me... Come on, let's go.

Bring the lamp. Let's go.

Wait... I'll go first.

Come on, hurry up!

Come on, Polaco! Hurry up!

What are you doing, asshole? Are you crazy?

Take them off! Take them off!

It's your turn now, Polaco.

How does it feel?

Calm down.

Everything's fine.

- Hello. - How are you, Inspector?

Sorry I'm late.

- Who is he, Zapa? - Calm down, man, calm down.

Let me see...

Did you count it? How much is it?

- You really did me in, you motherfucker. - I don't know. We didn't count it.

Cut it out, Polaco.

Stop, you motherfucker! What are you doing?

Calm down, Mendoza, calm down.

- Stop, Gallo. Did you go nuts? - Sshh. Stay there and be calm.

You trust me, don't you?

Stay calm...

Here, Mendoza. Grab the gun.

There... Are you okay?

Calm down, everything will be fine.

Calm down.

Trust me.

Mendoza, nice to see you again...

How are you doing? Gallo will be right with you.

Mendoza? How are you?

Fine, and how are you, Inspector?

- Very well. Where's the report? - Here you are, Inspector.
