25 CARATS
What's wrong?
Don't move!
Stay down.
Get out of here.
Go back to your country, OK?
- Who's betting? - You.
Me again? How many times do I have to bet?
So?
- Are you okay? - Did you relapse?
They set me up.
Where did you get the money?
A small job for some Mexicans.
Dad!
Calm down.
It was easy and well-paid. I couldn't refuse.
Should I have?
You should stock the fridge before they rob you blind.
And do the dishes, so we don't eat in filth!
Are you staying for dinner?
I have to go to work.
Are you okay? Where can we meet?
Son of a bitch!
I just got my license. My dad's gonna kill me.
It's nothing. I'll handle it.
It's an official car.
Run!
Where's your friend?
You screwed up, bitch.
I'll take care of it.
It's fine, I'm a cop.
Get in.
Drop me off here.
A beer!
What happened?
So?
It was a cop, but a guy got out of his car
and got rid of him.
What did he have?
Was there money?
- What do you mean, no? - It means no.
This sucks.
No, Grandpa, the knight doesn't move like that.
- Why not? - Because there are rules.
They're stupid rules, aren't they?
Are you deaf?
Those two...
Hi, son.
How are you?
Look at him.
He's teaching your father how to play chess.
Let's go, Adrian. Grab your things, it's late.
Let's go!
Do you want to sit in the front?
Adrian.
I have work. Your grandmother will come pick you up.
Alright?
What are you talking about?
What nonsense!
Honey, it's going to cut off.
OK. We'll call again.
Please! Stop!
Are you crazy?
Don't hurt me!
Please!
Take whatever you want.
Mr. Torres wants his 18,000.
Mr. Torres.
Wait...
How much is he paying you?
I'll double it if you take care of him.
- 15 out of 18. Not bad, right? - Not bad at all.
Shall we settle up?
4,500, that's our share.
- And this is yours. - Good.
If needed, you know where to find us.
Rocio will see you out.
Nothing beats a satisfied client.
Sit down.
- No problem? - No.
You're a good one, Abel, a good one.
Shall we crunch the numbers? 40% of 4,500...
1,800.
Perfect.
So, what do you think?
Where did you find all this?
It was under a rock. Damn!
Just estimate it.
It's flashy.
It might not interest the Dutchman.
It's top quality.
He'll definitely be interested.
200, 250,000 for sure.
300 if he's in a good mood.
If you get 300,000, there's 20 for you.
Deal.
Hands off.
Once you've spoken to the Dutchman,
let me know.
What time works for you?
Alright, at 4 PM?
See you there.
- What's wrong, darling? - He's ripping us off.
What?
Don't be naive, Domingo. He's not that dumb.
What are you talking about?
Lately, he always brings back less than expected.
- You think he swindled us? - Impossible.
Think about it.
The guy gives him 18,000.
He keeps 3,000, comes here, and says he only got 15.
Wouldn't you do the same?
- Abel wouldn't cheat me. Not him. - What if he starts keeping everything?
He knows the risk.
Forget it.
- Stop and go see her. - OK.
Reset the table!
Come on!
Listen, princess,
your father owes us 20,000.
If he doesn't pay by Monday,
we'll deal with him, then with you, bitch.
Both of you.
What's up this time?
Nothing.
I sold some stuff they brought me.
I paid off a debt with part of the money,
and I lost the rest gambling.
Come on, bring me a beer.
You're going to get yourself killed.
Don't joke about that, darling.
They're trying to scare me. I'll fix it tomorrow.
I've got a perfectly thought-out plan.
This time, it'll work out. I promise.
I've thought of everything. It's a perfect plan.
Hi, handsome.
Can I come in, or are we doing this here?
No. 17, Santa Maria?
No. 17, Santa Lucia.
Damn taxi driver!
Laugh it up.
Are you alone?
I'm here...
Can I come in?
How much?
100 for a blowjob, 150 for sex. 200 for anal. So?
Alright, come in.
- What's your name? - Abel.
And you?
Kay.
Kay?
- Like "quail." - Damn.
Exactly.
My dad's an idiot.
When I was 4, he used me as bait.
When things went wrong, we'd switch towns.
We've been here for a year and a half.
I met Nelly, and since then, we've worked together.
And you?
What do you do?
I collect debts... unofficial ones only.
It's not great, but it pays.
Alright...
- We'll see each other again. - Sure.
I hope so.
Do you like pasta?
ANTI-CRIME BRIGADE
Did you really pay 500 euros for those boots?
They're python.
Ram-raid attack at a furrier in Sants.
Sebas called.
He got in touch with the Dutchman.
One thing at a time.
- How did it go, Sebas? - Good, he was in a good mood.
Any problems?
No, on the contrary,
if the goods check out,
he agrees to the deal. 300,000 in 500 bills.
When's the exchange?
Tomorrow works for me.
Take care of it like it's your daughter.
Of course.
I need a favor from you.
Some Mexican thieves from Sarria are harassing me.
They almost sent me to the other world, the bastards.
They almost succeeded, huh?
I need them gone, or I'm dead.
We'll take care of them.
But your cut will only be 10,000.
15,000.
15,000...
No... 10,000 is fine.
10,000.
Keep an eye on him.
This number is no longer in service...
Shit.
You were right, it was good.
I worked for a year in an Italian restaurant.
And where else?
In a garage, when I was a kid.
Then, I boxed for a while.
I wasn't bad.
Look.
My first and last trophy.
What happened?
Nothing, my dad had an accident at a construction site.
He ended up in a wheelchair, and I had to work.
Are you looking for a house?
This one's great.
It's beautiful.
It's worth a million.
But...
Look at this one.
It's lovely.
Yes.
Very.
Will you invite me when you get it?
Of course.
Damn hair.
Want me to cut it?
I was a hairdresser too.
Good lord...
You're a real gem.
24 carats.
25.
- Yes? - I’ve got a job. 1 PM, okay?
- No, I have to pick up Adrian. - How about after lunch?
Perfect.
- Is that you, Kay? - Come on, open up.
Where were you?
I asked you a question.
I called you all night.
Usually, I’m the one calling to find out where you are.
I was worried, you know?
Sorry, battery died.
Wait.
I’m tired.
Me too, I didn’t sleep a wink all night, Kay.
- Remember my plan? - Again!
This time, it’s serious.
If it works, we can make 400,000.
But I need your help. I can’t do this alone.
What do you say?
Come on...
What are you doing? Keep the onion.
You don’t eat it without tomato and onion.
Here.
Have some fries.
I don’t like fries.
These ones or fries in general?
Fries in general.
Really?
Since when?
- Always. - Does Grandma know?
She doesn't make you eat them?
Lucky you!
Why?
I used to hate cauliflower,
but I couldn't leave the table until I finished it.
Once, I spent the whole night in front of my plate.
I don’t like cauliflower either.
Of course, it looks like cow food.
- Grandpa told you that? - Yes.
That you moved like a butterfly and stung like a bee.
They used to say that about Muhammad Ali.
But I wasn’t even close to his level.
Grandpa says you could’ve been Spanish champion.
Of course. Grandpa always says that, right?
Yes.
Alright, Adrian...
I have to go to work.
My kiss?
An espresso.
Hi, Abel.
What’s wrong?
How long have we known each other?
Since I bought the BMW from you. Why?
Two years.
Without problems or trouble, right?
Why all these questions?
Rocio thinks you’re cheating me.
That you’re screwing me over by keeping part of the money.
And you?
I’ve got a good business going.
And I don’t want to be cheated.
Are you keeping money?
Don’t trust Rocio so much.
It’s my business. Are you keeping money or not?
Just my share.
Two glasses.
His name is Lorenzo Fernandez.
A second-rate businessman, but he deals a lot in cash.
Our client sold him equipment.
He owes 120,000 euros for a year and a half.
He’s always with a thug who acts as his driver,
so be careful.
Here.
Recover the 120,000.
That way, Rocio won’t bust my balls anymore.
I took my mom to the doctor; I couldn’t call.
I was about to.
Did you find the money?
I don't care.
I just want to know which bills and how much.
1,700 in 100-euro bills.
1,800 including what he gave me for the job.
Are you sure there weren’t more?
It’s me. Has he moved?
He hasn’t left his house.
Wait, he’s leaving.
He’s got the bag.
Follow him and don’t lose sight of him.
Boss.
This is Z-12, requesting two backup units.
Tomorrow works for me.
So, what do you think?
Not bad.
How much do you want?
100,000.
100,000 what, euros?
It’s just a police corruption case.
Not just any cops. They’re from the Anti-Crime Brigade.
It’ll be front-page news for weeks.
No political ramifications?
Not even two days.
- I’ll look elsewhere. - Wait.
We’re interested.
I’ll offer you 60,000.
No. 100,000.
80.
Alright.
- I need 24 hours. - No.
Right now.
Impossible. It takes time.
I’ll call you tomorrow with the time and place.
You don’t trust us?
I don’t even trust my own father.
Damn!
Dad, what the hell are you doing?
Where are you?
I have the money, but I’m being followed.
I need you. Find a solution, OK?
Hurry up!
Goddammit...
The guy gave him 18,000
but he kept 3,000, and it’s probably not the first time.
Call the Turk.
The guys working over in Sarria.
Good job. Tell Lainez to pass on the info.
Got it?
After the exchange, he went back to the shop
but then tried to run.
- What? - Inspector!
Ricardo Sánchez called.
- It’s the fourth time. - Thank you.
I’m coming. Don’t lose sight of him.
I’ve been trying to call for two hours.
They’re offering us a video...
Of you giving material to your buddy, the expert.
My boss wants to buy the tape.
They’re meeting tomorrow to close the deal.
This doesn’t look good, Garro.
Damn, drive!
Wait! I’ll explain.
- Where’s the tape? - What tape?
I swear, I don’t know.
- What? - I want my money.
What money?
I was stupid to think you liked me.
- What are you talking about? - The 1,800 you took from me.
What are you saying? I didn’t take anything from you.
You were the last person to come to my place.
Remember the second-to-last, I didn’t take anything.
- Wait. - Screw you.
Wait, please. I screwed up.
Sorry, I screwed up.
What tape are you talking about? I swear...
- The tape or I’ll kill you. - I don’t have it.
- Tell me where it is. - Kay has it.
- And the money? Where is it? - She took it.
- Tell me the truth! - It’s the truth.
Boss, there’s nothing here.
Take him.
Wait for her here.
Let’s go.
Get down.
Stop! Police!
Are you okay?
Dad, where are you? Are you okay?
Yes, but where are you?
In the city center.
We need to meet. Bring the tape and the money.
- He didn’t give them the money. - We need to buy time.
Tell her she has an hour.
In an hour, bring everything to the abandoned factory
at the entrance of Sant Andreu, sweetie.
Damn it, Dad!
The money’s in a safe.
I can’t get it until tomorrow.
Listen to me carefully, bitch.
The longer you take,
the worse it’ll be for your father. Don’t be stupid
or you won’t see him again.
Got it?
I got it.
Tomorrow at 11, same place.
One minute late, and your father dies.
I can help you.
Sometimes I’m not smart, but for this, I’m good.
First, you need to change cars.
Do you have paper?
The plan is to sell the video to get rid of the cops.
We’ll get them off our backs and keep the money and jewels.
We could make almost 400,000.
Enough to disappear.
It’s a good plan.
A damn good plan.
But my father’s plans always fail.
He must be cursed.
Chema!
What do you want?
It’s all my fault.
Don’t touch my daughter, okay?
She’s just a kid. She has nothing to do with this.
Why do you stay with him?
He’s my father.
He’s never let me down.
When they get the money and the video, they’ll kill him.
You don’t want to help me anymore?
On the contrary.
I need help too.
You’ll tell Garro not to hurt him, OK?
You’ll tell him? Can you do that for me?
She’s just a kid, damn it!
Can I trust you?
It’s the fifth step.
If they know about the money,
someone from the paper told them.
The son of a bitch who didn’t agree.
If we make the exchange, the cops will show up.
We’ll shake them off. It’ll be easier to free my father.
What?
You ran away from home?
I’m talking to you.
- You didn’t tell me about this. - I didn’t get the chance.
Is she your fiancée?
What do you think?
Do we make a good couple?
What is this?
The light doesn’t even stay on for a minute.
- Watch out! - Dad!
Dad, are you okay?
I’m fine.
We need to get out of here.
We have to find a safe place.
Don’t worry, it’s just kid stuff.
No, he’ll be better off with me.
Alright, see you tomorrow.
I’m going to cook something.
It’s time for bed.
Listen...
It’s better not to tell your grandparents, okay?
Why did he want to kill you?
Someone thinks I cheated them,
but they’re wrong.
I haven’t been the best dad in the world, Adrian,
but I’ll never leave you alone again.
Promise.
He’s an Argentine killer they call "the Turk."
My boss calls him when someone has to die.
- Why did he send him after you? - I don’t know.
His wife must’ve convinced him I was skimming money.
Is it true?
She wanted us to team up.
She wanted me to kill Domingo...
to take his money and his business.
But I said no.
What happened?
With Adrian’s mom?
Did you leave her, or did she leave you?
She left me three years ago.
We were coming back from a boozy dinner.
She wanted to call a taxi, but I thought I could drive.
The light turned yellow.
A car came, and...
I couldn’t brake.
She spent two months in a coma.
Then, she left us.
Sorry.
What’s wrong?
I can’t keep Adrian here with the Turk after me.
He’s my son. I can’t leave him.
We need to figure something out.
I need your help.
It’s complicated...
But I have an idea that might work.
I’d need your friend’s help.
I’m here.
What?
You scared us so much.
Don’t ever do that again!
Sorry.
Well...
I have to go.
- I want to come with you. - Listen, Adrian...
You said you wouldn’t leave me alone anymore.
That’s true.
I think Adrian and I
should spend more time together.
Alright?
Pack your things; I’ll pick you up this afternoon.
Rocio asked me to kill you.
She wanted everything for us, but I refused.
I never stole anything from you.
Call the Turk.
Hello?
Yes, it’s me.
At 10 AM, at the Mark & Forward in La Farga mall.
The girl from the other day will have the money in a bag, got it?
Perfectly.
Alright.
Let Belén know.
What did Abel tell you?
You don’t believe him, do you?
Domingo, I swear I didn’t...
Leave. I don’t want to see you again.
Garro, it’s me.
The girl called. They’re doing the exchange
at 10 AM at the Mark & Forward in the mall.
What does she look like?
In her thirties, wavy hair. She’ll have a black bag.
The bitch wants to sell the video.
You stay here to keep an eye on him. Let’s go!
Damn.
Are you blind?
I braked, but the car kept going.
It’s not a big deal...
- Are you insured? - Of course.
Women...
They’re all the same.
Who are you?
Mr. Diaz wants his 120,000.
- Good morning, Mr. Fernandez. - Don’t put any calls through.
Good morning, can I help you?
I’m just browsing.
That’s it.
What are you doing?
- Get out! - Sorry.
Which way?
Is everything there?
It’s not...
Everything.
What are you doing?
Police.
- But it’s mine! - Stay calm.
Thanks, buddy.
Can I help you?
Bastards! Come on!
But...
You’ve got to be kidding!
- To be delivered in person. - Wait a second.
Tomorrow works for me.
Take care of it like it’s your daughter.
Don’t worry. Come back here.
Look at this.
Damn!
- Let’s go get my dad. - Grab the money.
Everything’s calm here.
After this, I’ll pick up Adrian, and we’ll get out of here.
Don’t worry, it’ll work.
Alright.
- What’s wrong? - Finish her.
Are we making a deal, Chema?
Let me go, and you’ll get half.
Come on, Chema, 150,000 euros.
We’re on our way.
Hold on! Hold on tight!
- Run! - Take this!
I’ll give you 200,000, okay?
No, man, take it all!
300,000 euros.
Take it all!
300,000 euros, man!
What is that?
Chema?
I’m going to get Adrian, and I’ll come back.
Wait for me.
How much did you get?
If we leave, he’ll never find us.
Look, the keys are in the ignition.
An opportunity like this will never come again.
You and me, baby, like always.
Dad.
Mom?
Adrian!
Mom!
Drop your gun.
Drop it, pretty boy.
Where’s my son?
Alright.
- Where’s my son? - I don’t know.
There were only these two here.
Your dad’s brave.
He tried to fight back, you know?
- Well... - Wait!
How much did Domingo give you? 20,000?
Domingo?
"Finish the job, I’ll give you your money.
Rocio."
Wait, listen to me.
Let’s make a deal.
I’ll give you double,
if you take care of her for me.
Does it hurt?
Don’t worry, I’ll shoot you in the head; you won’t feel a thing.
My son...
Where is he?
Where’s my son?
Where is he?
What happened?
And Grandpa and Grandma?
We need to leave.
What happened?
Adrian, get in the car.
And your father?
He had something else planned.
We’re taking off.
