Original subtitles

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 love me

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

With the price of things as they are these days

I packed an egg sandwich, some tacos, whatever I had

And your bean sandwich

My dear, what would I do without you?

Wait a minute You forgot your handkerchiefs

The buses are full at this hour and you might be late

Don't worry, child

Don Carmelo, they have come to evict us Talk to them

Noisy people This place is mine and I do with it as I please

- Yours? - Don't we pay the rent?

It's ours

With all the rent we've paid, it should be ours by now

Neighbors Quiet, please

Will you stop this noise?

Quiet If you want to talk, do so

But take turns, so we can all understand

Talk to me or to him

Don't make trouble Let Carmelo speak

He'll speak for all of us

Stay with us Well, what's the matter?

Mr Cabrea, the owner of the property, who is present here

has asked me to notify you that

in view of the fact that you have refused to show up 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

"to vacate the premises located at etc, etc

"Also, please note that if the premises haven't been vacated at said date

"all incurred eviction costs will be the tenants' responsibility"

Yours, that is

Don Andres, where will we go if you evict us?

There are plenty of other houses

Sure, in the hills Luxurious homes with exorbitant rent

My poor husband is so sick

Take him to a hospital The law is the law

You can go wherever you want Just get out

Forget it Don't beg

People like him don't care about us

But we care about our children

We will not allow them to throw us out like dogs

We'll stay, disregarding the consequences

You must obey the law

Cut out the gestures and the talking

The law is forthe rich We don't stand a chance

But we poor people stick together

You can't throw us out

Just a minute

The law protects me 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

Good job, Don 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

- 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

It's the politicians' fault

Now any bum thinks he can

I wish I had the powerto exterminate that bunch of revolutionaries

Don't overreact, old man

So now I'm in the wrong That's all I needed

You think they're right, don't you? I can go to hell, right?

Should I allow them to rob and kill me

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 forthat Carmelo and two orthree others

They're a bunch of ruffians

In short, you only have problems with three orfour of them

Yes They had the audacity to threaten me with a protection order

If they get it, I'll lose the 250,000 pesos I was promised forthe land

I don't know what to do

Why do you worry about such a simple thing?

Are you making fun of me? Like ifit's simple

Very simple Look

One, two, three

And four

Perhaps if I were younger, but I'm too old

Too many for me

Isn't there anyone who could help you?

Astrong, determined man

Strong and determined?

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

How could I? It costs six pesos

Six pesos Alot 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?

Ask him for money and he'll tell you he's through with my family

You brats, keep quiet Shut up

Niece Where did you put the salt?

Again? You only come here to eat, whatever you can find

And you allow it

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 Don Andr�s

How are you?

It's the pits Barely surviving

Come in

Come meet my mother

This is Don Andr�s, the one you tell me is so good?

Please, sit down

No, thanks I came to see 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 forfood

I'm Maria's uncle, and I'm crippled

He kicks me every time he finds me here

Look what he did yesterday

Don't bother us

I'll have to talk to him so he'll change When does he go to work?

To the slaughter-house? They start slaughtering at ten tonight

and work until dawn

I'll look for him there

Don Andr�s, 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 Why didn't you visit?

I was looking for a job I came to talk to you about something

I hope you feel better

I pray that the sacred Virgin of Guadalupe will repay you

- See you later - Leaving already?

I have work to do

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

Leave that, son You have no respect for your mother

Only five on loan I need it badly

It's for my medicine

Stop robbing your own mother

You stay out of this

Thank you, Don Andr�s You're the pride of a country

without people

Somebody give me a hand with this

Look at the huge and well shaped ox

It's true You're crazy

That's all he needed

Don't hurt yourself, Bruto

You can't even lift your own pants

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

It slipped Right

Go to hell, you perverts

Your back can't take it, Bruto

Why don't you quit it, jerk?

Don't you think he's a real softy?

Cut it out

Well, try lifting your pants

Hey, Bruto

- What is it? - Somebody to see you

See me? Is it a woman?

No Aman

How are you?

Hi, boss Why didn't you just call instead of going through the trouble?

- Getting stronger everyday - What can I do

- You didn't expect me here - No, not really

- Acigarette? - Thank you very much

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, I used to go out with that girl

- Did they make you marry her? - No, they didn't

She brought the whole family

It's your business If you like her

Come over here

I like that girl They mistreat her a lot

Bruto, where's the stiletto?

Marciano has it

Excuse me

Can't you leave her?

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

Awise decision

Let me tell you why I came

It concerns a special matter, confidential and delicate

I thought of you 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

You are a grateful person

You know I have a small apartment house in Portales

It's easy I want you to go there

- Marciano says he doesn't have it - That's impossible

I gave it to him myself I'll be there shortly

- Excuse-me, sir - Forget them

We can't talk here

- Come to my house tonight - As you wish

- At 7:00 PM - 7:00 PM

- It's settled - Yes, boss

Don't come any closer or I'll break yourface

You have no education

To hell with your education, stupid hag

You pushed me around for 2 years I'm leaving

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 don't care, I'm not coming back

Don't give me the usual story Come for your money tomorrow

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

- lf only I didn't need the money - Be on your way

Hi, Bruto I like your punctuality

- Wait here - Yes, boss

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

I got candy, but I won't give you any because you behaved badly

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

Now I won't give you any

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

One time

One time you were late for dinner, and I

You've told me that many times I have things to do

Let's talk in the dining room

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

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

That's the reason, boy

Forwhat we have to do you'll have to leave your job

in the slaughter-house

It is necessary

What can I do?

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

It is good money

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

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, forfree 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

I will 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, all right

What a bunch of revolting beggars

See for yourself All the favors they owe me

all the money I have lent them

That's the way they are

The worst part is that 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, because I'm a grateful person

Just give me the word

I knew I could count on you You're loyal

I'll neverforget it, rest assured

Have another drink

There's one otherthing

It's not all the tenants Only four

I know the names of the four That's them

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

Anothertime

I'll see you tomorrow

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, Dona Marta

How was your day?

Very bad I hardly sold anything

Rosita, come here

I wanted to buy a little meat for a stew but I didn't have any money

Everything's so expensive

If yourfather doesn't bring any money tonight we'll eat candy only

Meche, come here

Something happened to your father

- My father? - Some men are bringing him

Careful Sitting up straight is bad when you're vomiting blood

Father, what happened?

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 it happen?

I was with Angel when they came

Didn't they tell you?

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 think he fought against the eviction with the old man

Do you really think so?

The sly old man

has a very bad soul

- How is he? - It's serious

He needs a doctor

I'll get Don Mariano He's a very kind and good doctor

- Hurry up - Go on

What's the hurry, you old gossiper?

Let me go

I overheard you saying that you had a hunch

Well, I

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 Don Andr�s

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

Good-bye

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

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 You don't cut me out of your life

You're not leaving 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 ifhe 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

Where are you going?

Get out of the way

- You can't just leave us - Out of my way

lfit weren't for

- Little Paloma - At your service

- What are you doing? - Fixing your clothes

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 Let's kiss them to make them better

They're full of cream

- Are you done? - Oh, Lord

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 want to make love you're sick

lfit's not your stomach it's your head

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 and let him get settled in the store

I'm coming

Don't break the door down

I'm sorry, Miss I thought you didn't hear me

Don Andr�s asked me to come

Yes, come in

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

What a dump Andr�s keeps all the extra junk in here

He keeps everything

Don't worry I can make myself comfortable 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 forthat Andr�s 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

180 change Thank you

Save some bones for my dog, Paloma

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"

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?

- I could have done 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 them?

It's a secret But I convinced them

You're dumb, I bet they are the ones who have to entice you

I'm not so dumb

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 any more

But how? I hardly touched him

I just hit him a little Like this

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's going on?

She's moving out

But why? What got into you?

I already explained My sister has a spare room

And since my niece got married she wants me to go with her

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 herto wait You have the obligation to stay here with us

I don't want them to kill my baby

Who threatened you?

The old man?

- I'm afraid - Tell us

The night Don Carmelo had the accident I went forthe doctor

He grabbed me He was a big strong guy

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?

Don't worry Take yourthings inside and don't be afraid

We'll take care of it

Give me a hand Take that

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 Don Andr�s scolds you, you look for a woman to hide behind

I could die laughing

Don't say that, ma'am

I love and respect him because he has known me since I was a baby

My mother was Don Pepe's maid The old man

He was always good to us

He sent me to school, and would 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

lfhe 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 Andr�s?

You bastard What did you think?

That I'd allow you to touch me with your dirty hands?

Forgive me I though 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 Don Andr�s?

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? - What do you want

Let's beat him up

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's a big nail

Take it out

I can't

I'm telling you to take it out or you'll feel the pain

Bring some waterto 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?

Alittle hole

What's your name?

Meche

They call me Bruto, but my name's Pedro

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

He went this way

- You didn't scream - What for?

You don't fear me anymore?

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 fortaking care of me

I like you very much and I want to see you again

Well, so long I really have to go

Good-bye

That's the wife of one of them, officer

Where's your husband?

He left early forwork I don't know when he'll be back

Don't trust her They're all a bunch ofliars Come

What did I tell you?

This is the man that left early and the other one is his accomplice

Well, let's see Lorenzo Ruiz and Julian Garcia

- What do you want? - Come with me

- 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

Julian hasn't done anything either For real

- What will we do? - Calm down, it'll be alright

Let go of me

Let go of my arm

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, doctor

I was anxious to get out ofhere

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

This is the last one Otherwise I'll be in trouble

Come on This is very good

- The Tequila orthe finger? - Both

- Give me some more ofboth - 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 - Sick my ass

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

We had drinking contests until only one remained standing

It was 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? I was stronger than a bull

I'll tell you what I'd do with nuts like this

I would put it here

press a little, and crack

instant nut pie

You mean

like this?

Goodness This one is also strong

- Some music? - Yes, let's dance

You're something, Don Pepe You also like to dance?

How can you ask such a question?

I was king of the Schottische What did you think, damn it

Come on, let's dance

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?

Just one drink while waiting for you

Why make fun of my father?

I'm sorry you take it that way

You'll eat alone because I'm leaving

- Get out - I'm leaving

To bed

Not to bed I'm having fun

Off to bed 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

I forgive you this time because I know it's not yourfault

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

Therefore it's better that people don't see you 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 and want you to look after it

I'll pay you the same wages We'll talk when it's all over

All right

Take this It's for you Go now

Thank you

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 I already sold the rest to pay for the expenses

The best thing would be to give it to yourfriends

and get what you can

It'll remain among friends

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

What's past is past Look forward

Good-bye, Don Antonio Thank you for everything

I'll be seeing you

Meche

What do you want now?

I only wanted to bring you the hen

Here it is Chicks and all

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

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

What's wrong?

You work for Don Andr�s,

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 Dona Enriqueta? You threatened to kill her baby

That's not true

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

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?

The truth is that I'm very

- Very brutal - Don't say that

I'm a slow thinker Don't look at me like that

Alright It was bad

But I have nobody to help me understand things

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

Say yes

Please, say yes

Dona 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

Let me explain

She's going to tell everybody

We did nothing wrong

Because they don't like you, they'll hate me too

You'd better go Go

Never come back

Never? Not that

I'll do anything but stay away from you

I don't know what happens, but when I'm with you

my legs get weak Honestly

Since last night, you're always on my mind

I'm going now Don't be mad at me

Allow me to come back

I'll come back anyway Good-bye

What are you doing here?

I was anxious to see you

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

I wanted to come, but Andr�s wouldn't leave me alone for a moment

I told him I was going to the movies "What movie?" he said

"Alove story"

You don't seem happy about my visit

If you're mad

Yes, I like your visit But I didn't expect to see you here

Besides, you don't have time

Plenty of time

I told him it was a double feature, I can be home by twelve

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?

Afactory close by

Where do you sleep?

Overthere

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 as soft as me

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

Leave it and come here

Sit down, my love

If you knew how much I think of you all the time

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

Why do I like you so much?

Paloma Paloma

Not a little, a lot

- The meat I forgot the meat - Leave it

Why are you doing this?

I already explained that I have to sell this land

You don't understand You're worse than rock

I have nowhere to go

You can always live with somebody You won't be alone

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

You're just like the others

I'll have you put in a shelter if you're still here tomorrow

- You wouldn't - No arguments

- Done - When do we tear it down?

- Early tomorrow - The other section, too?

No, wait forthe 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?

They arrived early and started tearing it down

And yourthings?

Dona Marta gave me this 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

I like you and you don't dislike me very much

Don't say no

You want to come?

What are we waiting for?

It's destiny

Before we were both alone, and now we are together Let's go

What's wrong? Why are you backing off?

Are we going to get married?

You'll be mine

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

Sit down

It's soft but strong

It holds me, or even the two of us 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 I? 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 like me a little?

Otherwise I wouldn't be here

And I love you, you know?

I don't know to say this

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

You want to go to bed?

Yes You go overthere

All right

- You know what I was thinking? - What?

Tomorrow I'll go back to the slaughter-house

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 offerthis one a drink

We'll have to celebrate

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 my woman

She's a little darling

Awoman like no other

I have to go now

- The little darling - Just look at him

Come on Have one more with us

- Cheers - Cheers

My woman is expecting me for dinner

His woman is expecting him for dinner

Let him go She'll hit him if he's late Right, Bruto?

Don't be funny You're just envious

- I'll see you - Sure

What a beautiful doll

- Back already? - As you can see

How did you behave? Did you think about me?

Yes, but you smell ofliquor

I had to go out with my fellow workers

You know how they are

It was their treat My wages for yesterday

Well, don't I deserve a kiss?

Now tell me what you did

I went into town, 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 It's just that I remembered my father

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?

I 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, with that stupid look on your face

getting involved with my man

You're not even a woman yet

I'll scratch your eyes out

Pedro is my husband We're married

No Bruto is mine

He belongs to nobody but me Understand?

If you don't leave now I'll tear yourface off Go

- I won't go - 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 Andr�s' rentals?

Stop it, I tell you

You don't hit me Stay with your wife

Ironically she ended up with the man that killed herfather

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

Let me explain

It was you

- Don't go - Let her go

Bruto, you're mine, mine that's why I told her

Let me go

Bruto, don't go Don't go

Bruto, bastard Don't go

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, Andr�s

Shut up What were you doing there?

I wanted to know the truth

They told me he was living with the daughter of the man he killed

That's why 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 very strong

He beat me until I lost my strength

What did he do?

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, Andr�s Kill him

Andr�s Where are you going? Damn it

Good evening, Don Andr�s

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

I think he left a short time ago That way

Is there anything I can do?

If you see him tell him to come to my house It's urgent

Will do At your service

Give me another one

Hey, your boss is looking for you

He said you should go to his house, urgently

Thank you

Is Don Andr�s here?

He's somewhere in there

Thank you

So you had the nerve to come

Well

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'm tired of saying it, but I wish she had died

before giving birth to a creep like you

Why do you hit me?

Because I spoke with Paloma, you coward You bastard

Did you think that she wouldn't say anything?

I swear I never did anything to her

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 when she found me with anotherwoman

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?

No? You'll go to jail for murder, and she'll be put in a reformatory

Stop hitting me

What the hell?

Are you back, son?

In this house they treat you like a dog

If you don't fend for yourself, you won't get anything Damn it

BY ORDER OF THE COURT

THESE PREMISES HAVE TO BE VACATED BY 9:00 AM TOMORROW

Don't be afraid I have to tell you something

Don't come any closer

Listen to me

No, never again

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

Let go, you brute

Hold it Be very careful

Now we have him He'll pay for everything

Let me speak to her first

The first one to come near me dies

Calm down You won't be evicted from here

I'm telling you

that I killed the old man

Liar

I left him in his living room with his head smashed

Don't you hearthe sirens? The police are coming for me

You must believe me You must

I didn't kill your father I did punch him

I didn't know he was sick

I must go I'll come back for you

because I love you very much

They must know Ask them

- Where's Bruto? - Who?

We're the only ones here

He's overthere, 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 had it coming He deserved it

At least it saved us from being thrown out ofhere
