Here.

The man who fears to be known

cannot know himself or others,

he is alone.

Apart from our common ground, where can we find such a mirror?

With the others here,

we can all exist simply for ourselves,

not as the giant of our dreams or the dwarf of our nightmares,

but as a man part of a whole,

with a contribution to offer.

Breathe in.

Listen to your breathing.

Listen to what surrounds us.

There's only us in this place.

Feel how, deep in your body,

in your soul,

the earth is absorbing

all that negative energy that is in us.

This dark energy.

The earth absorbs it.

Get rid of all the negative within you.

Leave it here.

The earth absorbs it.

Guys, the leader Godoy is back.

I think he has the new ones.

Who knows why they bring these guys here...

Which prison do you think they're from? Neiva or Gualanday?

I think it's Gualanday.

We're here, princesses.

This is your second home.

Come on, Mono, get out.

Go on, get the tools out.

Get out.

Put all the tools there.

Welcome to the newcomers.

This will be your new home.

You must behave well.

We will accompany you

so that all you go through,

in terms of the law,

is more bearable for you.

In addition to Godoy,

and myself,

these 3 people have authority here.

The idea is that, as soon as possible,

we prepare this place

for the arrival of new users.

Understood?

Yes, leader.

- Understood? - Yes, leader!

What's up, Eliú?

What are you doing?

Are you OK or what?

Talk to me, dammit!

What's wrong with you? What's that face?

What the fuck is your problem?

Did those fuckers brainwash you?

Things are different here, asshole.

That's what we'll see.

So, you old guys, do you know where we are?

No idea.

No idea.

And you, Ider?

No, Mono, I don't know either.

We didn't see the path...

Have you never thought of escape?

- Just for a while? - Me, no.

Behind the forest, there'll always be a Godoy.

Look what I found yesterday.

Disgusting. I won't catch it.

- Take it, man. - No.

The food's already disgusting, and you show us that?

Keep it for Godoy.

As a gift. What do you say?

Stop it, fucker!

You don't like it?

Leave me alone.

- What do you say? - Watch out.

Watch out for what? You idiot.

Let me eat.

Here, man, since you're starving.

Eat that.

How are you doing? Are they done?

Yes, leader.

They all took their meds?

Yes, sir.

Come here.

Do you know why we brought Mono here?

How are you feeling these days?

More or less well.

On a scale of 1 to 10?

6.

Get ready to help me with therapy.

Yes, sir.

Close everything.

I'll wait for you.

I, Chucho, from Rovira

conceived 14 years ago

by Cenaida Aguirre,

I confess I'm a dealer, drug addict, and bastard.

I, Calate, from Cajamarca,

conceived 16 years ago

by Sirley Ochoa and Lino Hernandez.

I confess I'm a thief, a conman,

bandit, murderer,

drug addict, and bastard.

I'm the only one to blame

and I'm here, ready to pay for it.

Eliú!

There are people for you and your friend.

See you in 10 minutes.

Mono!

Stand up!

Against the wall, hurry.

Get undressed.

Quick!

In your underpants.

Face the wall!

Spread your legs.

Get in.

- The pen. - Not a gift?

Hurry up.

Well attached.

Your turn, Eliú.

A signature, quick.

Get in.

Mr. Prosecutor, can you get in the van

to show me the way?

Will you get lost?

You never know. Let's do that.

Come on, let's go! Move, move!

- See you later! - Yes, chief.

Keep a good eye on everyone.

What model is this crate?

It's a '76.

A relic, isn't it?

No, not a relic.

I had one back in the day.

It was a blessing.

It was a hell of a car.

It saw a lot!

Women, you can't even imagine!

All kinds.

I can imagine.

Little ones, big ones...

Know what I like?

A big girl to hit me, a little one to avenge me.

That's them.

Honk.

Who is it?

My assistant

and the victim's relatives.

Hey there.

Hey, chief.

- Alright? - Yes, sir.

- Follow us. - OK, let's go.

What'll happen to me with my 10 children...

I'm so poor!

The only legacy they'll have will be my stinky feet!

Present are the prosecution, which I represent,

as well as the convicts:

the young Eliú Mendes,

and the young Maicol Andrés Jimenez,

alias "El Mono".

And to represent the victim, Mrs...

Tránsito Rincón, right?

Wife?

Victim's wife.

And Mr...?

Juan Macías.

Relationship to the victim?

- Nephew. - Victim's nephew.

Very well.

I declare the investigation open.

The aim is to clarify the facts that happened...

on January 11, right?

On January 11 of this year

and to find the body of the victim,

Mr. Emanuel José Macías.

- Emanuel José Macías? - Yes.

Alias "The Invisible One".

As part of this investigation,

I remind you that the victim was reported missing on January 14

in the town of Rovira.

The search for the body based on the juveniles' accounts

led to nothing.

Well, young men,

like I said, the idea is to tell the truth,

to be precise and concise in what you say.

OK?

Speak only the truth and don't waste any time.

You can feel the heat and all these bugs.

Right? The truth!

Understood?

I'll tell you everything

because what's done is done.

Anyway, that jerk is dead.

Anyway, it was a crazy night.

Madness, alcohol, dope...

We had our "toys" within reach.

Eliú left in a frenzy.

He got it into his head to kill his father.

And in the end,

we left him here...

We threw him off the motorbike and started pulling him.

That's when I saw it wasn't him,

but it was too late.

I couldn't do anything.

What do you say, Eliú?

You didn't see it wasn't your father?

Answer! We're in a hurry!

I don't know, I don't remember.

So you take someone and murder him

without even looking at him?

What are we doing here, then?

Why did you bring him here? Where is he?

I won't play with your doll.

We came by motorbike,

threw the fucker to the ground,

and took him over there...

So, let's go "over there".

Show us, OK?

Godoy,

let's not waste time with this scum.

"Over there"...

Damn kids.

Unbelievable.

Dragging a body into this hole...

They had to be really out of it.

So, where's the body?

What about you, Eliú?

Tell me.

A place to look... Tell us something!

Answer me!

Where there's a light.

- What? - Where there's a light.

A light? There's no light here.

If anyone should be blamed, it's him.

I know nothing. It's Eliú's fault.

- It's Eliú. - Let's pack up.

I'm going, Godoy. We're wasting our time.

It's just like the last time.

They're making fun of us again.

Bring them over here!

I'll send the file, the prosecutor will decide.

I heard in the village

about a guy called "The Invisible One",

but I didn't know he was the dead guy.

Can I ask you something?

Why was he called that?

It's a long story.

When my uncle was 17 or 18,

he was the boss of Guamo.

He always had 2 or 3 women at once.

I don't know his secret,

but he was said to have banged all the local chicks.

He helped my grandpa in the coffee plantation,

and at the same time, looked for contacts

to get into trafficking.

But at 20 or 22,

he stopped everything: trafficking, banging chicks, booze...

And he went to Rovira to keep sheep...

Nobody understood this sudden change.

We thought he'd killed someone.

That something bad had happened.

But when we asked him,

all he said was

that he'd met "The Invisible One".

Next week, we'll see what we can do.

OK, thank you very much.

I'll leave you without a blindfold to watch El Mono.

Tie him up securely.

That Macías won't leave you alone.

He'd eat you up!

The body has gone.

Like the earth's swallowed it.

Fuckin' say something!

What do you want?

Remove my fuckin' blindfold.

Have you changed sides or what?

You've gone over to Godoy.

Know what, you fucker?

Last week, we saw your father and brother

eating ice cream in the village park.

Who told you that?

It's just so you know.

Take this off, I'll tell you.

I can't.

Why can't you?

Take this damn thing off.

Was it Godoy who softened you up or what?

You're so soft.

Have you forgotten when we were on the street

and were there for each other?

A bit louder!

Now let's move our heads from left to right

and say "no". Ready?

Slowly!

Come on, Mono!

Let your lips go!

Take it by the corner.

Let's stop for a while before Godoy comes and busts our balls.

That jerk won't be long. In the meantime, let's rest.

Which prison are you from?

Gualanday.

Are you from Gualanday, too?

Yes.

I'm from Rovira.

It's easier to get stuff in there.

That's right.

It's easier to get stuff in.

What's the highest you got

by combining 2 drugs?

- Without mixing them? - Combining them.

The strongest thing you smoked.

You mean, say...

Combining them or taking one, then the other?

For example, taking a Creepy and a mushroom...

Right.

Or let's say... coke and weed...

So, a brownie and clonazepam.

Or clonazepam dissolved in brandy.

What mix did you do, Mono?

I took the ash from pipes.

And I put it in my aluminum pipe.

I took the ash, put it on the aluminum,

and I added a Rivotril pill

and some coke.

Crazy bastard!

And I smoked it, I mixed it.

It gets you real high.

That's called a shaggy.

My brother would smoke that.

So good!

A shaggy.

That's what I always do.

"Did", man!

Past tense.

The work we do doesn't just depend on us.

You are a key part of the process.

The building of the boys' prison also depends on you.

Don Pedro, the head warden, that most of you know,

does all he can to help you.

But it's up to you to take the first step.

If you want your children to change,

you must be the first to contribute to this change.

Thank you.

- How it's going? - Good, you?

So-so.

What's all this?

They're piercings I had done.

I wanted them. Why?

And that's mom's name.

Cool, huh?

- How's school going? - I'm not really into it.

What do you mean, "not into it"? You have to go!

Is that El Mono?

- Is that El Mono? - Yes.

- Do you hang out together? - No.

When did he get here?

I don't know.

Yeah, take it easy, I hang out with Grillo and his gang.

- We squat a village house. - What did I say?

What?

- Tell me what I told you. - What about?

- Not to look for trouble! - What?

I'm not a baby, it's not like before.

I hang out with whoever I want.

Since you were locked up, I've learned things.

Tell me something.

What?

Is the old man back in the village?

He's back?

When? I don't know.

Dude, don't play the fool.

I heard you were seen together.

I don't hang out with him, I hate him.

If I see that fucker, I'll beat him up

and tell him what I think.

I'll kick him out of the village, I swear.

Tell me the truth!

Are you crazy?

Tell me the truth!

- You crazy bastard. - Crazy bastard?

- I got something to tell you. - Speak.

3 guys arrived in the village.

It seems you killed the Macías family's uncle.

They're looking for you.

Did they hassle you?

No, but they're pissed.

I'll beat 'em up. What'll they do?

Don't get into trouble!

I'm not a kid! Where's the body?

They're looking for his body.

- Where did you put it? - Butt out.

- Can't I ask? - No.

Since you came here, you've been weird, dumb.

You bastard, don't forget I'm still your elder brother.

You come visit and you disrespect me, you asshole?

Get the hell out of here.

- You're the asshole. - Get lost.

Let's fight for real!

Fuck off home.

I come visit you, and you react like that...

Grillo is a better brother than you!

What's this mess?

Matajudíos, go help them.

You're behind schedule

clearing those fuckin' bushes.

- You have to do it. - But the boys...

It's all that matters to that old son of a bitch.

If he cared about anything else, it'd be different.

You know that.

He cares about nothing else.

So, clear the area and it'll be fine.

The boys aren't slaves.

With therapy, they're improving.

I won't work them like mules.

I've had a bellyful of all this.

I'm telling you, it's pointless.

Since we've been here,

you've struggled, but...

By the way, I wanted to tell you you could...

tone down your aggressivity a bit.

You make me laugh!

What aggressivity, pal?

Do we work with little angels?

I know they need a bit of it,

but you're hard on them. You have to lighten up.

It's enough to show them your gun.

Tomorrow, I'll show them.

This guy makes me laugh.

Did it work for you?

- Of course. - Did it?

Nonsense. Did it work?

No, you're screwed!

You tell me to change. Have you seen yourself?

You have no shame.

Stop it, man.

You're a real piranha.

You already ate one, not two!

So, what do you want? I won't let you win.

- No kidding. - You're ravenous.

Sorry, you didn't win, man.

No problem, I know how to lose and win.

In this life, you gotta be ready for that.

Being ready to lose and win are the basics.

I'm used to it. Aren't you?

When this place is mine,

I'll completely renovate it, man.

Oh, yeah?

And what would you like to do? What'd you renovate?

Well, I'll start with the kiosk.

I'll buy big speakers and nice furniture.

I'll paint the main house.

I'll put in gold faucets, like it was before.

I wouldn't touch the lions.

The lions are great!

I'll paint them and set them up

right here by the pool...

I'll put in another kiosk here

to smoke joints and chill.

I'll have big parties, you're all invited.

There'll be drugs,

the best village girls...

If there's vice, I'm in!

And a fountain in the pool to chill out.

You talk about things you can never do.

You won't be able to buy all that.

Not even a piece of land, man!

You dream of luxury, but you'll never have any.

Gotta stay positive, man.

Or you're screwed.

I'll give my mom 3 floors here

so she has the kind of life she deserves.

Moms are sacred.

She's the only one who knows what I've been through.

If you knew what she got me out of...

We all prefer our moms to our dads.

Mine is a real asshole!

The big fucker.

All the same.

How was your dad, Eliú?

A shit?

OK, stop!

I don't like these games.

No. It can lead to misunderstandings.

Bunch of fags.

If you want to cuddle, we can play out here.

You've lost your trunks.

Come on, don't get mad.

Scared of water?

No, I can swim.

But I don't like being pushed.

Hey.

You could say "Goodnight".

Time to sleep.

You go to bed yourself.

Leader, nothing.

- You looked hard? - Yes, leader!

- Into position. - Yes, leader.

Who was chained up with him?

Chucho, leader.

Chucho, look up.

Head up!

Where is this gentleman?

I don't know. I was sleeping.

You didn't realize he was running away?

Liar! Where is he?

I don't know.

So don't say anything. It's up to you.

Tonight, we're having a party. A banquet.

Tell me where he is.

If you talk, you can rest.

It's your choice!

I don't decide - you do!

Last night, who was on duty?

Eliú, leader.

I don't believe it.

Did you tie him up?

Or did you let him go?

Look at me and talk to me!

Well, how did he escape?

I don't know.

Speak clearly.

If you don't talk,

you'll never get out of this hole, kid!

Look the other side, not at me, you idiot!

When did he leave?

Were you asleep?

What were you doing?

Look at me.

Look at me!

That's how I like to see you.

Right in the shit.

Remember,

you got 15 years for murder.

That's what you are, a murderer.

Soon it'll be 15 years more

to stay in this damn rat hole!

- Get it? - You have no power.

Silence! I'm not asking your opinion!

Good luck.

OK, Godoy. Step out of the circle.

Help him sit there.

Stay there, you two!

You don't consider us as your family?

I have no family, old man. I have nothing and nobody.

We're all family here.

We all work together here

for your rehabilitation.

Family, my ass!

If you'd behaved, you wouldn't be here.

Who helped you leave?

Why do you want to know?

- Forget it. - I see...

A negative attitude.

What do you think, Mono?

Is it more fair that only one brother pays

or that everyone pays?

I have no goddam opinion.

Whatever I do or say,

you don't give a fuck.

No, I care about your opinion,

but the attitude you all have isn't right.

But since the person or persons who helped you won't own up,

everyone will be punished.

You'll clear the grove behind the house.

You won't get a single grain of rice

until it's done.

If it takes you 2 days

or 3 or 4,

you'll get nothing to eat till it's done.

- Understood? - Yes, leader.

- I can't hear you. Understood? - Yes, leader.

Dismiss.

Work, princesses!

Sit down.

What's going on with El Mono?

Why this behavior?

I was once a young man like you.

A rebel...

And I acted proud.

But you know who cracked down on me? My dad.

And I respected him.

Because he was a brute when he punished me.

I don't want to be like him.

I'm giving you the opportunity

to tell me the truth now.

We have it out, as a family,

and look for a solution.

Very well... Godoy!

All that process is just hot air.

You thought you were on vacation,

with your sunglasses and your little hat...

You took it lightly, didn't you?

Get rid of all that.

Outside, life will make you get rid of all that,

but it'll be too late for you.

Get rid of all your shit!

Go ahead, kill yourself!

Go ahead, you little prick, hang yourself

if you like!

Make your grandma and dad

proud of you!

Do what you like, but be tough!

Be strong, you bunch of shits!

- Don't sit down, don't stop. - Shut up.

Work, asshole.

I'm tired! I'm too hungry to work.

Those who screwed up should work.

That son of a bitch Mono landed us in the shit.

Those bastards, Eliú and Chucho, screwed up.

They helped Mono escape.

You dumb fuck...

Ask your dad for help.

He raped you, and you couldn't kill him.

Stop!

Eliú, move.

Come back. Matajudíos is OK.

Personal motto.

I, Eliú Rico Mendez,

I undertake to be a worthy, sober man.

Close your eyes.

I choose life and hope.

I know I can do it and I stand by it,

along with my past, my faults, and my decisions.

That is why I, Eliú Rico Mendez,

have decided to be a new man.

Anything to get off your chest?

No.

Open your eyes.

From the past or now?

Now.

I don't know where The Invisible One's body is.

I want to kill my father.

What did you say?

Do you remember when I talked to you about my past life?

I doubt myself.

I carry within me all the shit I've done

to remember and never do it again.

But you know what?

I like doing it.

My flesh wants it, I give in to it.

I don't know how long I'll have to fight this shit

that I have inside me.

What's up, Álvaro?

How are you, head warden?

Fine, despite the heat. I'm looking around my properties.

Yes, sir.

Hello, boss.

How are you?

- Good, and you? - Fine, thank God.

- Isn't it thriving? - Bit by bit...

Anything to say?

I don't know. We swallow our words here.

There's no point talking to you.

To me, all this... is pointless.

Do you have anything to say?

This is a place of death.

No mosquito nets,

we sleep on planks and get stung by bugs.

It's a hell of a life.

Álvaro's shitty therapies are useless.

And he prowls the corridors,

as if he's praying.

It's like he's not all there.

We worked for 4 or 5 days without eating.

We're so tired, we can't even sleep.

What's your name?

Calate.

Calate, first of all, this isn't your place.

Secondly, you're here

to pay for what you did. Understood?

Godoy, Álvaro and I aren't responsible.

I'll take care of the rest.

Álvaro, let's go to the grove.

Eliú, Ider, let's go.

What's all this, Álvaro?

We're working on it, but these trees are tough.

Have you forgotten why we're here?

I invested here, I have interests and commitments.

I have goals to achieve.

The priority is for this land to be ready.

We also spent time on the cabins, the swimming pool,

and the therapy sessions.

Álvaro, this isn't a psychiatric hospital.

Nobody will change here.

Neither the kids nor you.

You're still the same. The same scumbag.

You heard the kid earlier?

Did it work or what?

Clear this land and achieve the goal.

Or we stop everything.

You're an intelligent man.

Godoy, let's go!

I have another appointment.

Calate, son of a bitch.

Are you the eldest or the youngest?

Of my brothers?

It's strange.

On my mother's side, I'm the youngest.

On my father's...

Who is it?

Eliú.

Come in.

Calate is tied up. Should we bring him in?

Leave him where I said and...

go to sleep, all of you.

Yes, leader.

It's true, these therapies are fuckin' useless!

Useless!

Yes, sir, you're right.

But you know what?

You, me, and the others are rotten from the inside.

And our sins will pursue us until we die.

I can't do any more for you!

I wanted to bring you back on the right path.

But you're not helping.

You always need Godoy's harsh methods!

It's the only thing you understand!

I know you sons of bitches!

You know nothing! Shut up!

You think so?

You did nothing when your dad was beating up your mom.

Nothing!

You know nothing, shut up!

You're nothing but cowards!

You're the same as your dad, you old fucker.

No, not my father!

Get off me!

I'm not him!

I'm not him!

Don't compare me to him!

- Does anyone else know? - Everyone, sir.

Let's stop all this shit.

Pick everything up

and take care of the kids.

It's really shit that they killed Calate.

They got rid of him in one go.

It really pisses me off.

Someone else could disappear at any moment.

We mustn't let them carry on.

Macías?

How's it going?

Remember me?

Right...

Get up.

Get up.

Where are we going?

Hurry up. Don't ask questions.

Move, dammit!

Where are those little faggots?

We meet again!

You're for it now.

Now I've got you.

Put the hood on him.

Put the hood on the jerk.

You're gonna die, faggot.

Does he think he'll survive?

Take him over there!

Macías, our deal.

- Yes, here. - Good.

I didn't see a thing.

Mono, get up!

Get up, please...

Please, get up.

- It's your fault! - You wanted to take 'em to the factory.

We'll carry on by car, we'll find him in the village.

Brother, I've missed you.

I love you. I've missed you so much.

Me too.

I'm relieved you got out of that place, man.

- Totally. - I knew you'd make it.

Do you remember mom's house?

Cool, right?

Come, I have a surprise for you.

Come on, guys!

Brother, do you know whose this is?

Open it, guys!

The Macías, those bastards, showed up at dawn with their guns.

We wiped 'em out.

Do you know what?

The neighborhood is ours.

Whose is it?

Ours!

It's ours. Here...

All that's left is to get wasted!

Let's get wasted!

Put the music back on.

Brother!

Aren't you coming to party?

It's so good.

Come on, you're my special guest.

You can have whatever you want.

No, it's OK.

I know what you need.

To find our dad.

Let's look for him.

Say the word, and we'll go.

Make him pay for what he did to our mom.

I'm talking to you.

I'm talking, you're not listening.

I can't talk to someone in this state...

Little brother!

Take care.

I love you a lot.
