I don't know what's wrong with me, Father.
I think about the same thing everyday.
I don't know myself.
Calm down.
I need to help them.
Free them from this horror.
Alicia, let's pray together.
Let's pray for you and your family.
I don't need prayer, not now, Father.
- Trust in God. - I can't.
Everything that comes to my mind is out of love.
Don't fool yourself, Alicia.
That's not true love.
Love is to care.
Love is to protect. Preserve.
What do I get from knowing all that...
if I can't feed them?
Don't leave, I'll bring your children something to eat.
Yes, Father.
I'll be here.
Alicia!
Father!
Father...
I'm glad I found you.
People have been looking all over for you.
They are waiting for you at the church.
What's happened?
I don't know but you better hurry.
- Father. - What happened?
There is a rather strange woman who wants to speak with you.
Who is she?
I don't know, she's not from around here.
She's over there.
Alicia.
I've freed my children, Father.
Good morning.
You need to buy groceries. There's nothing left.
Do it yourself. Go!
Breathe fresh air.
My son, I'm too old!
There are things I can't do.
You should take better care of yourself.
Haven't you seen yourself in the mirror lately?
The one who should look in the mirror is you.
I've told you a thousand times not to smoke while I'm here.
Don't act dumb.
And if you have to, go to your room and open the window.
You should open it every now and then.
Here's today's crossword puzzle.
Thank you.
Doctor, this is the last copy I have in English.
Thank you, Lucia.
Hello.
I've always been curious about this book.
Can I borrow it?
Leave it there, it's a gift.
For whom?
What do you care? Mind your own business.
Are you upset because I took your Rook?
You better concentrate or I'll checkmate you.
Coffee, Coffee!
Tea, Coffee!
Tea, Coffee...
Give me a cup of coffee, baby.
I am not your baby.
Why are you so grumpy. Didn't you sleep well?
- Sugar? - No, my love, I'll get fat.
Here you go.
Let go of me, Pedraza.
Paolita, when are you going to give it up?
Don't touch me.
I come for the money you owe me, Mrs. Carmen.
Have some manners. Say good morning, first.
Good morning.
You know what's wrong with you? You think you're better than everyone.
- No, I don't. - Yes, you do.
Pay me.
What do you think? Good, isn't it?
What an ass, brother.
She's a diamond in the rough.
And if she says no, then what?
They all have a price.
Listen to me, Paola.
You'll earn at least $200 every weekend.
And you'll be able to buy yourself clothes.
Paola, I really want you to be the person to do this.
- Really. - Where do you live?
She lives in a shitty rented place.
There you go. We will put you in an apartment.
I got you a place uptown.
If you like, you can go there tonight.
You live there?
No, it's empty. It belongs to a friend who's away.
- It's well decorated. - Come on, Paola.
I know you won't regret it.
How long do I have to think about it?
About 10 seconds. If not we'll find someone else.
Go in, Father.
Father Ernesto, It's good of you to have come.
I thought you had forgotten me.
How could you think that?
Here, I brought you some things you might need.
Thank you.
How do you feel?
I'm in mourning, Father.
One has to be strong in these moments, Alicia.
Here.
HOLY BIBLE
You will find comfort in it.
Thank you, Father.
- You don't have to thank me. - Yes, Father.
I am very grateful to you.
If it weren't for you, my children would still be suffering.
Ma'am, don't you have anything smaller?
It's your duty to have change, Sir.
Duty? This is not a bank. Be more considerate, please.
Considerate? Don't be ridiculous.
Get off, don't make me waste any more time.
I won't get off. I'm not asking for any favors, not even a free ride.
I am paying.
Thank you, Sir.
Natalia, since you are speaking so well...
I want to give you lessons with this novel.
You'll find it a bit complicated at first...
but then you'll catch on.
I got this novel with you in mind...
because I know you will understand it.
Don't leave it laying around.
No, of course not.
It's an enlightening novel. I think you'll like it.
We're all set.
Do we need anything else?
- No. - Let's go, then.
Go ahead. I'm coming.
Eliseo, good morning. I thought you were away.
No, Ma'am. I've been here all along.
I never see you around. Blanquita, how are you?
Hello Beatriz, how are you?
Well, you know, trying to do my part.
So, what can I do for you?
As a matter of fact, I wanted to ask you a favor.
Another collection.
Eliseo...
If we don't help our fellow citizens in despair...
- who will? - No thank you.
What?
With all respect, Ma'am, I'm not interested.
Thank you.
These are people who have nowhere to live nor...
You are wasting your time with me.
But these are your countrymen, Eliseo.
Don't you read?
Haven't you heard of Darwin?
Natural Law says that the weakest die.
It's not about if I read or not.
You and Darwin are both miserable bastards.
It's just another point of view.
Yes, it's a bastard's point of view.
I haven't insulted you, Señora Beatriz.
So don't be rude.
What are you looking at?
- How about this? - That's it.
- Perfect - Isn't it a little...
No, it's fine.
Put this jacket on.
That's the look I like.
Me too.
Don't feel embarrassed. You look great.
How are you liking the apartment?
- Fine. - It's pretty nice, isn't it?
Are you nervous?
Let's talk business.
Father, I brought you something for your nerves.
Thank you.
- How did it go? - Okay.
I'm doing what I can.
You are looking very pretty.
What a tragedy. Poor woman.
We'll have to paint the statue because I can't get the stains out.
Yes, the Saint.
Cover it with something in the meantime.
Yes, Father.
Irene...
Are you going out?
Yes, Father, I was going to ask for your permission.
Go.
And where to?
Nearby.
Perfect.
You're reading very well, Natalia.
This book is really fascinating.
Really? Why?
I'm not sure. It speaks about many truths.
Like what?
Well, that we are not one person, but many.
We are just afraid to accept it.
I'll be right back. I'm going to the bathroom.
My birthday is coming up.
I'm having people over and you are invited.
Can you come?
I don't know. I'll see.
Thank you for inviting me.
Susana.
Valeria.
Come on in.
- Do you want a drink? - No, thank you. I don't drink.
- Have you been here before? - No, it's the first time.
Look how lucky I am.
Make yourself comfortable.
Take off your clothes.
- What do you do? - I'm an English tutor.
Let me see...
Is that a tattoo?
I've got one here.
Show me.
Valhalla, what does it mean?
Valhalla is the Viking warriors' paradise.
- Is this you? - No, it's Odin.
He is the god who welcomes those who die in combat.
And those who don't die in combat, where do they go?
I don't know.
Honey, are you a soldier?
I was in the army. But a long time ago.
Did you retire?
You can say that.
You got bored.
No, not exactly.
Sorry if I'm being too nosy.
No, the thing is that...
I served in the US army, not here.
In the US?
I'm with a war hero.
- Can I use the bathroom? - Of course.
- What's wrong? - I'm sorry, I can't.
- You're tense. Come here and relax. - No, no, no, I can't, thank you.
Good afternoon.
I said "good afternoon."
A whiskey on the rocks, please.
Can I ask you a question? Do you want to be my girlfriend?
Don't laugh. I'm serious.
No? You are not interested.
Thank you.
- Pleased to meet you, I'm Jorge. - Claudia.
Claudia, what are you doing here all by yourself?
I'm waiting for a friend but it seems like he stood me up.
- Do you want to call him? - No.
- Maybe something happened to him. - No, I'd rather you buy me a drink.
Another whiskey please.
Thank you.
- I'm going to the bathroom. - Don't be long.
Claudia...
What are you doing tomorrow?
Nothing, why?
Because I wanted to invite you to lunch.
Sounds good.
- Are you cold? - Yes.
- Do you want your coat? - Yes, thank you.
- Good night, Father. - Good night.
How did it go?
Well.
We are lucky, partner.
You are such a good little boy.
You know what? We have to find an ATM...
because these girls only take cash.
But I can't remember the pin number. What is it again?
The pin number, brother.
- 0401... - 0401? I remember now, 0401.
We need to stop at an ATM.
We're going to party!
Are you feeling okay?
- What's up? How did it go? - Well, very well.
You won't believe it. We cleaned out all of his accounts.
- But is he alright? - Yes. No problem.
Good.
I'll give you your share tomorrow.
- You were great. Bye. - Bye.
Wash away all my guilt, from my sin, cleanse me.
Deliver us from evil.
For I know my offense, my sin is always before me.
Against you alone have I sinned. I have done such evil in your presence.
That you are just in your sentence, blameless when you condemn.
Still, you insist on sincerity of heart, in my inmost being, teach me wisdom.
Purify my soul so I can be clean.
Excuse me, Sir. Do you have a pen I can borrow?
- Mine ran out of ink. - Yes, of course.
You are always here at the same time, right?
Yes.
I thought I had seen you before.
Would you like to have lunch with me?
So, you are a doctor.
Who told you that?
In the library they always call you "Doctor."
No, I'm not a doctor.
Lucia has always called me that.
I was a paramedic many years ago.
And what do you do now?
I am an English tutor.
And do you do well?
I do okay.
And where do you live?
This sounds like an interrogation, but if you really want to know...
I live with my mother.
Thank you.
Don't you like soup?
- I can ask them to change it. - No, no thank you.
- Are you ill? - No, it's not that.
- So? - I don't know. It's this place.
If we are not good enough for you, you better leave.
I can finish my meal alone.
That's beginner's luck.
I'll give you lessons whenever you like.
And you didn't even want to come.
- What's that? - For winning.
Open it.
- Do you like them? - Very much.
You do know why I gave them to you.
That's why you chose me?
Paola, how come you've never had a boyfriend?
I've never seen you with anybody.
I like being alone.
You should be enjoying yourself more.
Go out. Meet people.
I'll try.
You're looking good father.
I was just thinking about you.
What is all this, Alicia?
These stories are all real. Don't you read the newspapers?
I am trying to get you out of here.
I want to tell you a secret.
My children think of you as the father they never had.
Alicia, you are not listening. I want to help you.
Really, Father?
For God to forgive me...
I know I must repent.
But I don't know if God is able to forgive me.
That's why I need your forgiveness.
Yours.
It's absurd to think that I can forgive you and God can't.
Do you think I'm pretty?
Yes, very pretty.
Look at them, Father. Touch them.
I know you like it.
Cover yourself up.
Guard!
If you think I repent, you are wrong.
You come here for yourself.
Check.
Are you sure?
You think I'm a fool?
It's up to you.
Hello, Sir.
I'd like to get some milk.
Sir, I need milk.
Joaquin?
Buy it somewhere else and get out of my store.
What do you mean? Why?
Because that's the way you treat others.
I've never insulted you.
You didn't need to.
Now I know what kind of person you are.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Don't play the fool.
You won't help with the collection and now you ask for favors?
You are no longer welcome in my store.
I'll bring you something to drink.
- What's up? - He's not feeling well.
- What happened? - He says his blood pressure is low.
- That's normal. - He wants to call an ambulance.
He's knocked-out. I'll take care of this patient.
Wait for me in the car.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Pablo, wait.
You do think he'll be okay?
Yes, don't worry.
Will you call me?
What are you doing here, Father.
You told me to forget about all this.
Yes. I know.
And that you made a vow.
You're right.
Forgive me.
Why are you smiling, sweety?
Nothing.
- Why are you turning here? - It's faster this way.
It's okay, sweetheart.
Bend over, bitch. The devil is here.
What's going on! Everything OK?
- I was freezing my ass off. - I couldn't find anything.
Stay down.
- Where's the cash? - I only have a few bucks.
- Don't look at me! - Sorry!
Let's throw her in the river. This bitch saw my face.
Calm down!
Give me the cash or I'll kill you.
- Have you found anything? - This bitch has nothing but stickers.
She's only a hot bitch.
You ain't kidding!
- So, what's next? - I'm not letting the night go to waste.
Whatever you say.
- Come here, bitch. Get out! - No, please!
Who do you think you are?
No, please.
This is what you want, right?
You're a real slut.
Please, no!
Time to party!
Go get some booze, you fuck!
Yes! That's right! Go on!
Go away!
Come on! Don't stop!
Pretend he's your boyfriend, bitch!
You think you're so hot!
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Hold still, slut! Hold still!
- Help me turn her around. - Can't you do it alone?
- Come on, help me! - Don't be a wuss.
It's my turn, you bastard!
Please!
As I was going to baptize him I held him in my arms...
and put him in holy water.
It was horrible, Irene. It was horrible.
I couldn't let him go. I didn't want to let him go.
His face was turning blue.
The parents were there, they said nothing.
The relatives, they just kept talking.
I drowned him, Irene.
- I drowned him. - It was just a dream.
Everything is fine. Come back to bed.
No, nothing is fine.
Something is happening.
It's me, Pablo.
It's me, Pablo, it's Pablo.
Mom, I need to borrow some money.
I don't have any.
- The ATM is out of the way. - I already said I don't have it.
I'll give it back tonight.
Are you deaf?
Why can't you do me a favor?
How many times have I told you not to do that, you old witch?
Don't you hit me.
Now I understand why my father killed himself.
Eliseo, how are you? Welcome, come on in.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Professor!
- I'm glad you came. - Happy Birthday.
Thank you very much.
- He's the only one who brought a gift. - What is it, Nati?
It's a diary. Look how nice it is.
Thank you.
I love it.
You are sweating. Do you want anything to drink?
No, thanks.
Let me take a picture.
Professor, you are so serious. Smile.
- Hello. - How are you?
- Hello! - Hello, beautiful.
Happy Birthday, Princess. You are beautiful.
- Eliseo
Eliseo. This is Esteban. My boyfriend.
It's a pleasure, Esteban.
Hi.
The English teacher!
Excuse me. Come in and sit down. Make yourself at home.
- Bye, bye, teacher. - Eliseo, would you come with me?
Good evening. What can I get you?
I'm not going to order anything.
I just need to sit down for a moment.
Sir, you have to order something.
I'm leaving. Just give me a moment.
I'm sorry, it's the rules.
There is an ATM outside if you need one.
I know how to find them.
I know where they took me.
There were two of them.
A taxi driver and another man.
I'll talk to Alberto. He knows a lot of people.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
- Are you ill? - I told you I'm fine!
I know what's wrong with you.
You're nothing but a bitter, failed, little soldier boy.
Is something wrong?
Are you sure?
I'm not a believer.
You don't have to be.
I feel lonely, that's all.
You live alone. You have no one.
I live with my mother but I can't stand her.
I'm beginning to have strange ideas.
- What kind of ideas? - People...
When I look into their eyes I feel like...
I can't stand frivolity, their abuse of power.
Recently, a woman was here.
She felt like she was all alone.
She killed her three children because she couldn't feed them.
I tried to help her, but...
Let's go to my office. Let's have a coffee.
No, I have to go.
Hey!
I'd like to clean the city of all this scum.
Don't say that. It's not their fault.
Wait.
What's your name?
Eliseo.
Look, Eliseo.
Here's my number.
If you need me, call me.
They've found them and we're going there tonight.
You're sure you want to do it. Right?
Fine. We need the money.
- I'll get it. - I brought it.
- Let me, Paola... - I'm going to pay.
- At least... - Drop it.
It's all here?
We're ready then.
Spare some change, Father.
Please Father, just a coin.
Father...
Spare some change. I'm hungry, Father.
- I don't have it. - I know you do, Father.
Just one coin, Father.
Father...
Father, it's not for drugs.
Have mercy, Father. Just one coin. Be kind to me.
Please, Father. I know you have something.
- Have mercy. - I don't have it!
Don't you understand?
Hello, dear Eli!
- Have you come to your senses? - What?
What we talked about the other day in your apartment. Remember?
No.
When I asked you for a donation.
Listen to me, you menopausal bitch.
I don't give a damn about your needy...
About you and your so called charity.
And if you continue to bug me and turn the neighbors against me...
I'll blow your head off...
And rip out your guts.
Is that clear?
Christ.
That's him.
There's the other.
- Let's go. - Wait a minute, Paola.
Are you sure?
Why don't we just scare them?
We are not murderers, Paola.
I knew it. You are just like all the rest.
Paola...
Hey!
Remember me?
I asked you a question!
- Forgive me... - Do you remember me?
I'm so sorry. Don't kill me. I've got kids.
For the sake of God, I beg you!
I beg you, please!
Shut the fuck up!
On the floor, you sons of bitches. Lick the floor, you bastards.
You motherfuckers are going to die.
Eliseo.
What's wrong?
You haven't eaten all day.
What's wrong with you?
Mind your own business.
Are you ill?
Go away! Leave me alone!
- Hi. - Hi.
- Want something to drink? - No thanks.
I left everything as it was.
What'll you do now? Go back to work in the market?
- Yes, I think so. - You don't have to leave.
I want to.
But I don't want you to leave.
It will be easy to replace me.
Try to understand.
Send my regards to Alberto.
- Can I call you? - No.
Hello, Jaime.
How are you, Paola? It's good that you're here.
I've got your uniform.
Thanks for your support, Father.
This is your house. God bless you.
It's the end of the world, Father.
You are seven cents short.
Yes, Sir. I rounded it up.
You said the exact amount.
I don't have coins that small.
That's your problem. I'm not leaving any money with the bank.
If you want I'll give you ten cents.
I don't want to owe you anything, not you nor anybody.
Please understand, Sir...
I can't solve this problem right now.
Give me all my money, now.
I'll see what I can do, now.
Here are your seven cents.
- I have a surprise for you. - Good or bad?
I quit.
- You quit what? - Priesthood.
- That's not funny, Father. - Don't call me Father.
From now on I'm Ernesto. Only Ernesto.
Aren't you afraid to go out into the street like a common man?
No, just the opposite.
Well, it scares me.
What does?
That we'll stop loving each other.
That won't happen.
- We'll always love each other. - Father, do you have any idea...
I'm no longer a priest, don't call me that.
I don't get it.
I thought you'd be happy to hear it.
Say something.
Irene, do you love me?
Of course I do. It's not that.
Then what is it?
I was in the area so I thought I would visit.
Natalia is in her room.
She is writing an essay on the novel you gave her.
- She is really enjoying it. - I'm glad.
- Would you like a soda or a coffee? - A soda.
Have a seat, I'll be right back. The maid is not here.
Eliseo, how is my daughter doing? Is she improving?
She's very smart.
She'll be speaking fluently soon.
That's what they say at school. She is first in her class.
Please, sit down.
You scared me!
I knocked but you didn't hear me.
How funny, I was just writing the essay for our lesson tomorrow.
Let me read it.
I've come to show you how right you are.
Isn't our lesson tomorrow?
Today is a special lesson.
It's about suffering.
There is a land of shadows you must cross.
I'm here to help you.
- You're scaring me. - You are right to feel scared.
Mom!
Calm down, she's coming.
Everything that has happened to you...
everything you've lived...
has been a dream.
And you know what? You've just woken up.
- What are you going to do? - You smell so good.
So cute, so clean, such perfect skin.
No, please.
Hello, Antonio.
Hello, Eliseo.
Mario didn't come?
He came earlier, but you weren't here so he left.
- Whose clothes are those? - None of your business.
- Don't talk to me like that. - I'll talk how I want.
Why do you hate me so much if I have never hurt you.
So now you are the victim.
- Do you want coffee? - Don't change the subject.
Don't you dare hit me.
You know what?
I'm sick of this shit.
Of course, it's you! Can you explain all this?
Fucking bitch!
Kneel down!
Everyone's the same.
Cowards.
- Look how your hands are shaking. - I beg you.
Forgive me.
Good evening, Lucia.
Hello, Eliseo. What brings you here so late?
I've come to say goodbye.
Where are you going?
I'm going far away, to the other side of the world.
And where is the other side of the world?
I'm going to the Antipodes, Lucia.
Don't tell me you are going to a war.
It's confidential and I can't talk about it...
- But it's something like that. - And when are you leaving?
Right now.
I hope you'll write.
I came to say goodbye because you are very dear to me.
I really respect you. You are a very intelligent man...
and an exceptional reader.
- Don't forget me. - Don't worry.
You'll hear from me very soon.
You'll do very well, I'm sure.
Welcome.
Good evening, Sir.
Would you like a drink?
I'll have the house red wine and spaghetti with bolognese sauce.
Excuse me.
"What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of God Almighty?
"I implore You by God not to torment me."
For He said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!"
Then He asked him, "What is your name?"
And he answered, saying,
"My name is Legion; for we are many."
Wait.
- Keep the change. - Thank you very much, Sir.
- Welcome. Table for two? - Yes.
Come on in, please. We'll be right with you.
On the night of December 4th, 1986 in Bogotá, Colombia,
a Vietnam veteran named Campo Elias Delgado,
murdered 20 people in a restaurant and then took his own life.
Hours before he had already killed nine other people,
including his English student and his own mother.
The motives behind what became to be known as The Pozzetto Massacre were never solved,
but there are those who claim that the key explanation is in Stevenson's novel,
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,
on which the assassin was writing a literary essay.
