Everybody up. It's 6.30.
- How many stoves did Uxbal bring? - Six.
How's Ana?
Hi, Lili.
How're things?
I hope the stoves'll stop you from freezing.
Ana feels fine. She wants to meet you.
We've moved in with her mother .... she misses you.
I miss her too. She loves to play with Li.
Uxbal, Hai wants to talk to you.
- See you, Lili. - 'Bye. Say goodbye.
Not one more day.
If you want to have them sew 16 hours a day and exploit them as
- Exploit them? - Yes, exploit them.
D'you know how much they earn in China?
Half a dollar a day.
Millions of Chinese'd suck my cock every morning to be here
You forget I negotiated a salary for each worker.
And I can see down there they're obviously getting fuck-all.
But I don't give a stuff about that.
Just give me my share, like we agreed.
Agreed to what?
You fucking piece of rotten meat!
It's my money, you cunt!
It's mine!
It's my money for fuck's sake! Mine!
Fucking blood-sucker. If you don't starve to death it's due to me.
If the Chinese have work it's thanks to me.
If you two aren't locked up it's thanks to me.
If you don't give me half of Mendozas money, I swear I'll...
What'll you do? Who d'you think you are?
You turn everything to your own advantage
Uxbal...
They're putting me out in the morning. You gotta stay at Samuel's.
- We're not staying without you. - Samuel's a Spaniard...
Samuel's Senegalese like me. We go back with you.
We'll be together again. We're still young.
Stay.
Stay here at his place and go on studying.
Work at the chicken factory again. I send money to you.
Even if I chop off a million chicken heads...
...we can never afford a house here.
We don't belong here.
Why would you go back to Senegal? There's no work at all.
A man from the police came.
He said we're all being evicted. Everyone. They gave us til Monday.
Uxbal 'll fix it.
I trust him.
I've already spoken to him.
Let him help us.
Hi.
Why're you looking like that? What's happened to you?
Why'd you do it? You needn't 've gone overboard.
Is that why you asked me to come? To scold me?
What could've I done? They do what the fuck they want.
What were you thinking?
Were you the only one who didn't know they were drug pushers?
I warned you Uxbal. We had to stop the niggers.
The money is not enough for everyone. Should I live on my miserable salary?
Or will you steal from me?
They're being pushed out. There are women with little kids...
- You aren't Mother Teresa. - You know what I mean.
It's you who exploit them so don't give us that shit.
I don't exploit them. I help them get a job.
For money, like all the others.
Do you remember Victor, Julia's son?
He moved to Murcia to train tigers in a circus. He gave them food.
They danced for him and licked his face.
I saw the show with my daughter.
She wanted to bring a tiger home. They seemed to love him.
The other month I met his mum.
A tiger had torn off a piece of his face and killed him.
He gave them food every day. Every day for six years.
But he made a mistake.
It's dangerous to trust a starving man.
'Specially if his kids are starving too.
- What's that got to do with anything? - What the fuck are you on about?
You gotta help Ekweme. He's being kicked out. You gotta help me.
I'm not an MP. I can't help you.
I can't go on playing I'm the UN.
I've got a daughter to look after. Do you understand?
Be careful, Uxbal.
Or take an Alka Seltzer. Chinese food can be very strong.
There are so many of those yellow bastards...
...that in the end they'll have the best ham and we'll get to eat rice.
Daddy, did you know...
... that when owls die they cough up a fur-ball?
No, I didn't know that. Not so loud, you'll wake up Mummy.
Daddy, is mummy mad at us?
No.
Who's that?
-Your grandfather. -Let me see.
That was the last photo taken of him before he went off.
My mum always kept it in her purse.
Where'd he go to?
To Mexico.
- He didn't just go, he fled. - Why'd he flee?
'cause your grandfather couldn't keep his mouth shut.
At that time Franco persecuted and executed people who couldn't keep their mouth shut.
When he was 20 he fled from Spain so as not to die...
...but he died anyway 2 weeks later in Mexico from a lung inflammation.
Do you love him a lot?
I don't know. I never met him.
Not having a dad sucks.
When are we going up to see the snow? Mummy said we're taking the train.
-Bags a window-seat. -OK.
If we're going up to the snow...
...you gotta build up your strength 'cause there are tons of things to do.
Sleeping time.
Careful, It's heavy.
Fuck it, it's sealed with zinc.
Pass me the hammer and chisel.
Fuck, he's embalmed.
We take it as it is.
...placed the remains of Mateo Gama Fernandez...
...in department 27 Saint Joseph year 1966.
Wonderful. Everything in order.
Your father died in Mexico.
Therefore he was embalmed before being sent back here by sea.
I'm telling you this because the formaldehyde really works...
...and cremation can take a long time.
The body's driven to Montjuic crematorium.
I suppose you'll want an urn.
These are his belongings. They were in the coffin.
Can we see the body?
If you want, but people tend not to....
But if you wish I'll call Montjuic right away.
Tony, please open the bag for identification.
Sorry, the door was open.
I'm coming now.
Sometimes the fridge hums...
...but if you give it a bang it'll stop.
There's hot water...
...but it's best to shower after 10 o'clock. OK??
I think that's everything.
Kids' room.
If you like you can be in here.
The rent is paid for the next few months.
Fuck...
Are you...
Are you OK?
I didn't know you did massage customers in the middle of the night.
You scared me.
You should see the sky.
It's full of stars.
It's a damned nuisance that ants always come in here.
Ana said you caught them by smoking and the mattress caught on fire.
- Where have you been? - Can't I have a bit of fun?
Not with 2 children alone at home...
...who don't know where you are. And dressed like that.
So it's my fault? Now I gotta ask your permission to be Mummy.
That's what happens when a seven year old smokes.
Things start to burn. Or didn't you know Mateo smoked?
You can't leave them, nor can you throw a burning mattress out the window...
...and make them carry it up. He's only seven.
But he can already hurt others like he was 40.
He wanted to open the fridge ...
...with wet feet.
And he called me a whore.
The more love I give him...
...the more he calls me nasty names.
He said it was my fault that we separated.
Did you hit him?
No.
Yes you did.
It's the only way he'll learn.
I bought the train tickets.
Four seats in first class.
I found a cute B&B where we can spend the night.
The kids are so looking forward to the trip.
They talk about the Pyrenees...
...like they were Disneyland.
My darling one, what you see on there are not stars.
It's your nervous system.
You could at least show you care.
We're ruined.
Finished.
We could have...
Shut up. It was your idea.
What's happened? Where are they?
- Where are they? - You fucking piece of shit!
- You fucking murderer! - Shut up!
- It was your idea too. - We gotta scram.
- I don't wanna end up in jail. - No one ever does.
Where are they?
Down there in the cellar.
We gotta decide what to do with the one that's alive.
There's one that's alive?
There were two, but we couldn't... One of them died.
Could be seen as suicide.
Promise me no one will know anything.
I'll give you all the money you need. Just say how much.
Help me, help me!.
What are you doing?
Help me!
Uxbal, leave her alone. She's already dead.
What'll we do?
You gotta help me.
I don't know. Lock the goddamned warehouse.
Hang on, Marambra. Dear Marambra, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Take the train this evening, and we'll see in the morning.
Don't change the plan. Don't change a fucking thing.
Take the kids and go to the Pyrenees
Tell Ana I'm sorry, but we'll have her birthday party when she comes home.
I tried to pray, but I don't know who I should pray to.
Haven't you slept at all? Out with it.
I bought the damned stoves because they were cheapest.
Because I needed the goddamned money.
I knew the stoves were rejects.
It's my fault, Bea. All my fault...
They're all dead.
25 people, Bea. There were women there.
And children... Lili was there.
I wanted to ask her to forgive me, but she was already dead.
I don't know if I'm going to the police. I'm really frightened...
It was an accident, Uxbal.
It's OK.
You know what you must do, Uxbal.
Go and find them...
...and beg their forgiveness.
No, not that...
Not that...
Tito...
Where's the prodigal son.
What's up with you? I've been trying to get hold of you.
I left a thousand messages.
Why don't you answer when I call? Come here.
This is my out-of-reach brother.
What will you have to drink?
- Dunno. - Clara!
Mendoza went ballistic. He nearly cut my balls off.
Clara, give me one...two Jack Daniel's.
None of the Chinese came to work. These sort of delays cost a fortune.
- What happened? - There was a problem, Tito.
What the hell? Why didn't you come to me?
Because... I don't know.
Come here, Cclarita.
Drink, we'll discuss this in the morning.
Hang on... I've got to talk to you, Tito.
Here you gotta scream or be on top of one another.
Look at her there.
Wow, you've got a thirst.
Look behind me. The bird in pink.
I've fucked her up the arse. She loves to fuck.
She's only a little girl.
Cheers!
I've got nothing.
Here it is.
Is Chepas here?
What's up with you? Look at him.
How long is it since you were out?
It was at least 2 years ago. Look at him now.
He looks like the fucking Dalai Lama.
Here. Hai darling.
No, don't give him anything.
Let him suffer.
Now we can talk. Do you want a drink?
Get Ccepa's stuff. I'm going to the loo.
- Are you hungry for adventure, girls? - How come? We know you're gay.
Your brother's an idiot. Do you know that?
Yeah, he sure is.
And how many kids do you have?
- How many kids do you have? - Two.
- Where are they now? - They've gone away.
They've gone up to the snow.
- Who with? - With their mum.
- Why didn't you go with them? - 'cause I can't.
Why can't you?
Because I'm dying.
I'm dying of cancer.
Mateo, my sweet?
Mateo.
kiddo...
Why are you all alone?
I wet myself.
Don't worry about that.
What happened?
Mamma punished me.
She left me here. She went off with Ana.
They went up to the snow.
What have you done to your face?
I was very disobedient.
Daddy...
Let me explain.
- It was Ana's birthday and Mateo... - Don't talk to me, Marambra.
It's good you're moving.
I'm really glad you're pissing off. You hear that?
Goddamned pig.
You're a goddamned pig! You can't even look at me, eh?
Give me the photo, Marambra.
Let's go, Mateo.
Children will stay here.
I am looking for the goods later.
You do not take the boy.
Come on, sweetie.
Leave him alone.
Stop, you're all messed up.
Source already, for heaven's sake.
Reach. Let go of Mateosta.
Let go, Marambra.
I can not.
Let me go!
To get Mateo.
Let it go.
Ana ... Ana!
Take the ring.
Take the children's room.
We will be changing my room.
Vanhako is it?
14 months.
Four days later.
Samuel.
- Eto'on that? - Yes.
- Ekweme was a fan of Barcelona. - Who?
His dad.
Tell him to be quiet. Quieten him.
Sleep now, Mateo.
Daddy, Why is Ige living at our place?
'Cause he doesn't have any home of his own. And he has a little kid.
- Can I answer? - No, as I've already told you.
Where are the kids?
I followed them to school.
- Why didn't you wake me up? - You slept like a log.
Ana said she knew the way and Mateo thought it was OK.
What time is it?
I don't know, it must be one.
If you like, I can pick up the kids.
He went ballistic.
Liwei betrayed me. Everything was his idea.
You know what sort of a guy he was.
He threw them in, 300 metres out to sea.
Shimuya swore that the bodies sank to the bottom.
Liwei thought you'd betray us. I was afraid too.
They've taken my family. My daughter Suyin.
To top it all off, Liwei came looking for me and cried.
This is insane. What do you want me to do?
We can't stand here. Get away from here and be quick about it.
- What do you want? - You aren't innocent, Uxbal.
- What? - Don't play dumb.
You gotta get it into your head.
My people don't squeal. I promise you.
You gotta shut up anyone you know who knows anything.
The news has shocked the whole country.
The latest we know is that most of the dead are men-
-but among them were also found two women and three children.
We warn that these images may disturb some viewers. The search for bodies continues...
No, I don't know.
It's not certain. No, it's not certain.
What? No.
Near the Chinese's warehouse. I don't know.
One family or something. Just a sec, there's someone at the door.
No, no, no, don't hang up.
What the hell are you doing here?
- I heard it right. - Why didn't you say anything to me?
Are we talking about the same thing? This is terrible.
Want a drink?
- Marambras purse? - Leave it alone.
I don't understand. Did you murder them, Uxbal?
- Fucking piece of shit. - For chrissakes, Uxbal...
Fucking piece of shit.
He was totally hysterical and stood and cried.
What was I supposed to do? Leave her out there?
This is partly your fault, Uxbal.
If I see you anywhere near my wife or my children...
...under a kilometre away, I swear on my mother...
... I'll kill you, you fucking piece of shit.
I can't move.
I feel like if I touched my neck...
...my head would fall off.
Calm down. Nothing's gonna fall off.
If I close my eyes...
....the tanks are coming.
They scare me.
I called you. I rang you over and over.
I don't have what the children need.
I'm sorry I was nasty to Mateo.
I do what I can to survive.
I want to be faithful to you.
But i also want to have a bit of fun ...
...as a whore.
Don't say that, Marambra.
I'm sorry.
I never knew what I should give you.
I still don't know.
Come to think of it... I've never known it
But we've hurt each other so much.
Take me on a holiday again.
At the clinic they have to tie me...
Quiet.
Quiet. It'll be OK It's going to be OK.
She is in the same house where we visited her before.
Remember?
And she...
We must just let her rest.
-Take her hand? -Yes.
She has 20 people who take her hand.
She sent lots of kisses. She loves you lots and lots.
- Can we say hello to her? - Yes, of course darling.
But now we have to let her rest.
Make a wish, little lady.
Give me your hand. Give me your hand.
- Don't shove it up your nose. - Give me your hand.
What's that? A booger?
It's something you shall have from your daddy.
Are you scared of it?
Do you promise?
- Are you frightened of it? - Yes.
Shouldn't we have the cake now? Sit down , Ige.
The first thing we must do...
Mateo, don't be disgusting. ...is to eat yummy chocolate cake.
The kids are so fond of you Ige.
You and Samuel.
You have a home here. And you can stay as long as you want.
No, Uxbal. I'm also fond of the children...
... but I'll save up some money and then I'm going back.
This is no place for us.
Ekweme told me about...
Wait.
Here is enough for rent for a whole year...
...and much more.
All for the children. Do you understand?
Take the money.
Take them.
Ige, please...
Can't you stay?
I need your help.
Take it now. Take it.
Goddamn... What is it?
Nothing.
- Why aren't you in school? - Don't lie to me Daddy.
Come here.
Does your brother know anything about this?
You can't leave us.
I won't.
Look in my eyes.
Look at my face.
Promise to remember me.
Don't forget me, Ana.
Don't forget me, my darling.
Ige?
yes, it's me. I'm back.
Daddy, are you OK?
Yes, darling.
Does it hurt?
No.
I can't sleep. Light...
The ring looks funny on your hand.
Can I look at it?
- Is it real? - Yes.
It was from my daddy to my mummy.
And why have you got it?
To...
...your grandfather gave it to your grandmother...
...before he left Spain.
She was pregnant and expecting him...
...and she never saw him again.
It's lovely. I never thought I'd touch a real diamond.
- Can I try it on? - Yes.
- It's yours now darling. - Really?
Mummy always wore it on this finger.
She said it wasn't real.
Your mother never heard the sound.
What sound?
The sound of the sea.
When in a small..
one radio station played the sounds of the sea.
Giant waves.
The sounds scared me.
Why is it scared you?
The bottom of the sea scared me.
Did you know that when an owl dies, it spits out a fur ball?
All the creatures that live there.
You shouldn't go with the ponytail. It makes you look like a fox.
It scares away the owls.
Daddy?
Dad?
Do not you think?
Dad?
Here it was just before the water.
Salt water.
Guess what it sounded like?
And the wind?
And they work together?
What is it?
