Excuse me.
Good Morning.
- Good Morning. Hello, how are you?
Fine, thanks.
So, when are we going to the movies?
Tomorrow.
Right, tomorrow, Always "tomorrow".
- Don't you believe me? - No.
Never lose hope!
- Good morning. - I'll call her.
Close the door, asshole.
Your friend is here.
I know.
Your father doesn't like your doing that!
But you are not telling anything.
- Hello. - Hello.
Why didn't you go to class today?
I didn't feel well.
Did you bring the psicology book?
No, it weighted a lot, I'll bring it tomorrow.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Do you know what could happen if my father comes and I'm not here?
Come on, stay.
Let's study together.
We have to go to the cinema. Please, Caro.
Why we "have"? What's up? What's up with you?
Please.
- Hello, daughter. - Hi dad!
Are you tired? - Yes, today I am.
- Oh! poor dad! - Hello, Ana!
For example "party".
Do you know how to write "party"?
The "P" goes first. But you write it small because it's not a proper noun.
Yes.
- The "A", that you already know - Yes.
- Yes, like that. - Like this.
- The "R"? - Yes, I know that one.
- Do you know it? - Yes.
- ¿Do you know how to write it? - Yes.
That one is more like a "B".
- OK, remember to always draw the "E" lower.
That way, you can tell this is a Capital letter and these are small letters.
Try to follow the line.
- Do you see the lines?, do you want me to mark them stronger? - No, I see them fine.
For example. That's a line.
"I went to see my daughter. I took breakfast with my wife."
"Then we went to build the walls of our house."
"Luckily, we are almost there. The situation is not too good."
"But we are anxious to finish so we can be with my wife and my daughter."
"Today my brother-in-law help me to finish sooner."
"I think that in a couple of weeks I'll finish it."
It's good. Very good. Would you hand it to me so I can correct it?
Thank you.
- Hey, Ramón, what happened to you there? - Well, I burnt it.
- What was it? - A tattoo, some initials.
Whose?
A girlfriend that I had.
So?
Well, she left with other guy.
- And I buurnt it. - Did it hurt?
Yes, it hurt me.
I burnt it with ammoniac and dry ice.
Very good.
You already know how to write your own name.
Yes. It's the first time I sign, It's the first time I came to school.
If it was up to me, I would go elementary, to know how to read.
I'll be coming here and teaching you.
Well. Thank you.
They're patrolling every night. Checking house by house.
You shouldn't go to the suburbs. It's very dangerous.
What could happen to me?. Everybody knows me there.
I think that you shouldn't go anymore.
Stay put, We have a car next to us. Open your eyes. Four guys inside.
There. They're gone.
I know this neighbourhood. I don't want to know where you live.
I'll see you at the stadium.
Felix!
Where did you get all these clothes?
It is almost new.
Where I work there are a lot of rich people.
They use it once and then they give it away.
There are have's and have-not's. Thanks for your company.
Move your feet. This is not your home.
Do you want to see a picture of my girlfriend?
What are you doing with that? Give it back to me!
¿Are you crazy? ¿What are you doing with my picture?
Let's do this. I keep your picture and I give you one of mine.
You're cuter in the picture.
It doesn't amount to keeping a girl's picture in your wallet for her to be your girlfriend, Felix.
And pay the rent. It's 15th already.
Mother!
Maria Fabiani?
Yes?
It's here.
Armed people in my house?
Who are you? Where is my daughter?
Are you policemen? Argentinian Army! What do you want?
We are going to take your daughter to ask her some questions, madam.
Where are you taking her? Sir! Where are you taking her?
If you cared so much about your daughter, you should have started caring long before.
Get down. Come on. Where are you going? Get up.
Get down, get up, down, up, down, up, down, up.
We'll be alone, you and I.

And who lives next door?
It's the other renter. It's two of us.

Take of your clothes, or I'll break every one of your bones.
Everything.

Stay put!
If you talk you're saved.
Tell me where you were going to meet your friends.
If I bring here one of them, you're saved.

It's hard, isn't it? When you know them.
But my shift is over.
Are you sure, sergeant?
Let's see who is this chick that is worth so much!
Listen carefully!
One pause every quarter of hour. The machine is already set up according to the table.
If you put one finger on her, I fucking kill you.
