ONE CRIMINAL DEAD AND TWO CAUGHT IN FAILED HEIST
TWO JEWEL THIEVES CAUGHT HOLD-UP THWARTED...
... to take me to my brother's house. Are you listening to me?
All I need is for you to tell me to...
Another one that's late.
What's your name, what did you bring?
Oh, the foxes.
Wait over there at the side...
They thought they'd be able to use lots of museum pieces,
but half of them are ruined.
I told them that, but they didn't listen.
The Pole's going crazy.
- Hungarian. - Eh?
- He's Hungarian, not Polish. - Oh, Hungarian.
- So what did you bring? - Some foxes.
You?
The pumas, the jaguars, the casuarias...
Most of them came out of a diorama I did a couple of years ago.
I hardly brought anything new.
- Good business. - You could say that.
Sontag!
The curators want you to have a look at the dioramas on the third floor.
They need a report and an estimate. Start with the rainforests.
- Now? - Yes, now.
Don't smoke in here.
It doesn't bother her, does it, darling?
Say "Ah".
- How's all that going? - Fine.
The same...
- Do you still get the... - Now and again.
- Remember that time? - Yes.
I remember every time.
OK. Let's go to Administration. I've already had enough of this place.
Pay day.
How much do you think they've got?
- Not this again. - How much?
- I don't know. - Have a guess.
I haven't got the slightest idea.
Two guys with two bags each. Each bag on average...
holds 10 bundles of fifty 100 hundred bills.
So?
200,000.
Plus the same amount that's inside already.
They bring it in the day before, for security reasons.
Hard to believe they've got that much, with the shit wages they pay.
- Waiting. - Waiting for what?
For someone to do something. Want me to tell you how?
You're going to tell me anyway.
Like when you told me how to rob the Agricultural Convention.
See how he's got his back turned? You could just walk right up to him.
He's not even looking.
Have you got a light?
Don't move.
- Now... - Everybody on the floor!
It's all in the timing. You mustn't waste a second.
Handcuffing them, that takes...
10 seconds.
Telephones, alarm. In the treasury, no one's realized yet.
On the floor!
- How much time was that? - 20 seconds.
It's the moment to close the door.
Just one way in. Didn't you spot it?
- No. - I did.
How much time?
40 seconds.
They put away the cash. They close everything up.
- One minute. - Time's up.
How do they get out?
The old catwalks exit. They've never blocked that up.
Easier to hide it. And nobody would remember it was there.
Except me.
The catwalks lead directly to the other wing of the building.
While the guards are getting together in the main entrance...
we leave from the other side.
We leave from the other side?
Okay, they leave.
All very neat.
It can be done neatly. It can be done well.
And if it's that easy, why aren't people robbing them all the time?
People are robbing all the time, but they do it badly.
Because they're idiots.
The police and the criminals, all of them.
I still don't get what's stopping you.
- It's a game. - And you're the best player.
I pay attention.
I don't forget a single thing I see.
Tell me the serial numbers on the bags.
ABF 869, HFD 444.
And what if something goes wrong? What if someone dies?
There's no reason why anyone should die.
Yes, there's a reason. There's a load of guys with guns.
The typical situation in which people die.
No, not if everything's properly planned.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Who do you think you are? Billy the Kid?
You've got a very weird fantasy for a taxidermist...
who's never got into a fight with anyone.
Not even once.
Not at school, not in the street, not anywhere.
Anything you say may be used against you.
Since you like action so much, I've got a better game for you.
Tomorrow I'm going deer hunting down south.
I was going with Aguirre but the pansy got sick,
and I'm stuck with the tickets.
We'll rent you a rifle, and have a good time.
- I don't like killing animals. - You don't have to kill anything.
Just go for a stroll,
get the smell of formaldehyde out of you, take a few pot-shots.
You should try it someday, or wouldn't your wife let you?
- I'm going. - Don't you want your money?
- Some other time. - I'll call you about the trip.
- I'm not going. - I'll call you anyway.
Mariana...
Yes, I'm going to go.
I gave it some thought and I've made my mind up.
Nothing... Nothing in particular...
I just thought... a change of air would do me good.
Yes, hunting too, the whole deal.
Eh?
Her?
No, she agrees.
Yeah, she thinks it's a good idea.
She says what's good for me is good for both of us.
What time do we leave?
What airline?
Okay.
I'll see you there.
Thursday
We can't stay here. They haven't got any rooms.
It's all full up.
Sontag!
Listen, I don't want you to go off angry.
The situation got out of control. It's not just us.
I just called the other hotels. They're all full up.
There's not a single free bed in the whole valley.
And you didn't make a reservation.
I've never needed a reservation.
But this is a special weekend. The casino is closing next week...
and people are coming from everywhere.
What the fuck do I care? I came here to hunt.
- Where are you going to go? - To fuck my mother.
Listen.
- Do you know Dietrich's cabins? - Who?
Dietrich. He's a local. Takes people hunting and stuff.
He's got cabins further north in the middle of the woods.
- I don't know him. - Well, they're not really for tourists.
- Actually, his place is kind of... ...shitty.
Listen, I wouldn't recommend it if you had any other options.
But if you've come to hunt, maybe this will suit you better.
It's closer to the grounds.
What do you think?
Nothing.
How do I get there?
Hey.
Hey!
What do you want?
Somewhere to stay for 3 or 4 days.
No. We haven't got any room.
So where are all the other guests then?
In the sauna?
No room. What part of that didn't you understand?
Yes, there is room.
My brother made a mistake. There's one cabin available. Follow me.
Sign here please.
- Me too? - No, one is enough.
- What's your name? - Diana.
Is this your father?
No... that's my husband.
- Dietrich? - Yes.
- This is a 14 point red stag, isn't it? - I think so.
- Where is it? - I don't know. Not here anyway.
The cabin is that one opposite.
If you want me to make you breakfast, let me know.
Or any other meal. It's no problem.
There are no other hunters.
- There's nobody. - I thought that...
Don't listen to Julio. My husband's in charge here.
And if he isn't here, it's me.
- Where is he? - I don't know.
Hunting, I guess.
If you want him as a guide, I can try to get him on his cell phone.
You can get a signal here?
The casino put up an antenna. It works for the whole valley. Shall I call him?
No, we'll go on our own, tomorrow first thing.
- To Junquillo? - Further north, closer to Pilauquen.
- No one ever goes there. - That's exactly why we're going there.
I wanted to rent a rifle for my friend but now we're too far away.
- Can you rent us one? - Yes...
Do you want to see them? Come with me.
Now you've got a gun.
Friday
Stay close. If we get separated, you won't know how to get back.
You walk 4 or 4 km west to get to the river, then you turn right,
go 2 km more. That's where we left the jeep, past the clearing.
- I know perfectly well how to get back. - You're a real woodsman...
Good spatial memory.
I've always had it, even as a kid. I never get lost.
You have to have one skill to make up for the rest.
- That was on purpose, wasn't it? - No.
You did that on purpose! You didn't want me to kill it.
What's wrong with you, you jerk?
You're the master criminal, but you can't bear to see an animal's blood?
I must be a jerk too. Why the fuck did I bring you along?
Come on, dickhead.
Let's go. It's too late for deer now.
What's wrong with you?
You don't know me.
What?
You're going to hunt?
You're going to hunt a deer?
You're going to aim at it? Shoot it?
You're going to kill it? Well, go on then you prick, show me.
Leave me alone.
But watch out. When you kill it, it's all over.
No more fauns, no more forest, no more nothing.
You're really going to kill a deer?
You've got to have a lot of balls to do that, you know?
What kind of balls?
The same kind you need to beat the shit out of your wife...
and ruin her life?
HUNTING LICENSE CARLOS DIETRICH
Are you leaving too?
What?
Your friend's going. He's already paid the bill.
He's packing. Are you leaving too?
I'm not sure. I have to talk to him.
You made it, then?
I'm going back. Marta's in the hospital.
Who?
My wife, asshole. The one whose life I ruined.
She mixed sleeping pills with alcohol.
Not enough to kill herself, but enough to keep pissing me off.
What are you going to do?
Here's your ticket, I'll take the jeep.
- Don't worry. - I won't.
Did you hunt anything?
Come on. I haven't got time.
Wait a second.
- Ouch! - Just stay still!
I'm almost done. Where is he?
I don't know where he is.
Where is he, Julio?
- Gently! - When's he going to come?
I don't know.
- He's got some other place, hasn't he? - Another place?
Some other house. Where he hides away,
- You're crazy. - Don't fuck with me.
Where's the 14 point stag?
He hunted it, he took photos, he had it stuffed but he never brought it home.
- What did he do, eat it? - I don't know.
Why do you care? You just want to get out of here.
I know. But there's work to do and I end up doing it.
Well, then call him! I don't know, leave him a message!
Don't bust my balls!
- I just want to know where he is. - He'll be back soon.
You've already put up with so much. It's just one more weekend.
- What? - Nothing.
- What did you say? - Nothing.
- What's happening this weekend? - Nothing, forget it.
- Tell me! - I told you, nothing!
Come here, let me finish... Julio!
Dietrich?
Yes?
Dietrich. We're here to see him.
He's not here.
May I sit down?
He told us to come now.... Today.
- How far have we driven? - 800 km.
800 km.
He told us to come at this time. Where is he?
I'm sure he'll be back any minute now.
He told me he was expecting people. Expecting you.
- And he said he liked the idea... - You're the kid.
- The brother-in-law. - Yes.
We'll come back tomorrow.
He should be back tomorrow.
- There's room if you want to stay... - We'll be back tomorrow.
Julio...
Julio!
Have you decided what you're going to do, then?
I thought I'd stay a bit longer.
Dietrich, it's Vega.
It's about Cerro Verde. We have to talk.
I'll call you later.
Vega again.
#Listen.
I know what you told me, but I've got to do the Cerro Verde job.
I tried to get out of it, but they got nervous here.
Started asking questions. And we don't want that.
Anyway, it's an easy job.
Saturday morning - hardly anyone's around.
Not much security. It'll be easy.
Monday we'll do our job. It'll be fine.
And I've already got the key. It wasn't easy, but I got it back.
Don't bust my balls, it's hanging around my neck.
I'm not going to lose it this time.
OK, I'll call you when I can. Bye.
Saturday
The next time I see him on my land, day or night...
I swear on my kids' lives I'll kill him.
Talk to my husband, it's his dog.
Some animal is killing his sheep. He says it's our dog.
And is it?
Lucky you turned up.
He only comes when my husband's not here.
- Do you want a coffee? - No, thanks.
Actually, I need a car. If you know anyone...
For how long?
I don't know... a couple of days.
I can give you my pick-up, it's that one behind the cabin.
I don't want to leave you without a car.
No, don't worry. If I need it, I'll let you know.
- You've got a license, haven't you? - No...
But I'm a good driver. I've been driving since I was a kid.
So?
I'm epileptic.
Is that why they won't give you a license?
They say you could have a fit while you're driving.
Could you?
It's never happened to me. But if that's a problem, I understand.
No.
What are they like?
The fits I mean. Do they hurt?
No...
No, they don't hurt.
And do they come on all of a sudden?
Well, no...
A few seconds before it happens I know I'm going to have an attack.
There's a moment... a shift...
The doctors call it an aura.
Things suddenly change.
It's as if... as if everything stopped,
and a door opened in your head, that lets things in.
What things?
Sounds...
Music... Voices...
Images...
Smells...
The smell of school, of kitchen, of family...
It tells me the fit is coming and there's nothing you can do...
to stop it... nothing.
It's horrible...
And it's perfect...
because during those few seconds, you're free...
There's no choice, there's no alternative,
nothing for you to decide.
Everything tightens up, gets narrower...
And you surrender yourself.
There's a place I heard about...
I'd like to go to.
Maybe you know it, Cerro Verde?
Cerro Verde. Yes, but it's not a tourist spot, it's a factory.
It's on the north side of town.
I must have got it wrong. Thanks anyway.
Get out of here! Go on!
Away!
Get away, I said.
Away.
