You can't eat it without

onion and tomato.

Here.

Have some fries.

I don't like fries.

These fries

orfries in general?

Fries in general.

Really? Since when?

- Always.

- Your grandma knows?

She doesn't make you eat them?

Lucky you!

Why?

When I was a kid

I hated cauliflower

but she didn't let me get up

until I ate it.

She made it for dinner once;

I spent the night looking at it.

I don't like cauliflower either.

Of course not.

It's like food for cows.

- Grandpa told you that?

- Yeah.

And that you moved like a butterfly,

but stung like a bee.

They used to say that

about Mohammed Ali.

But I wasn't even fit

to tie his shoelaces.

Grandpa says you coulda

been the Spanish champ.

Sure. Grandpa always says that, right?

Yeah.

OK, Adrian...

I have to go to work.

Don't I get a kiss?

An espresso.

Hi, my little Abel.

What's up?

How long have we known each other?

Since I bought the BMW

from you. Why?

Two years.

Problem-free, no mess, right?

What's with all the questions?

Rocio thinks you're cheating me.

Says you're messing with me,

keeping part of the money you collect.

What do you think?

I think I have

a very important business.

And I don't want to be ripped off.

Are you taking cash?

Don't trust Rocio so much.

That's my business.

Are you taking cash, yes or no?

I only take my share.

Two shots.

His name is Lorenzo Fernandez.

A 2nd rate builder,

moves lots of cash underthe table.

Our client is a brick supplier

he's owed 120,000 Euros

for a year and a half.

But he's always with a thug

that's also his driver

so you be careful, watch out.

Here.

And get the full 120,000

so Rocio will stop busting my balls.

I took my mom to the doctor's

and couldn't call.

I was going to now, I swear.

Did you find the money?

I don't care about it.

I just want to know

what kind of bills and the amount.

There was 1,700 in hundreds.

Well, 1,800 counting

what he paid me for my work.

Sure there was no more money at home?

It's me. Has he moved?

He hasn't left home all day.

Wait, he just came out.

He's got the bag.

Follow him and keep your eye on him.

Boss.

Z-12 here, requesting

two backup units.

Well... tomorrow's fine for me,

if you want...

So, what do you think?

Not bad.

What do you want for it?

F***, it's just a case of

police corruption.

They're not just cops.

They're Anti-Robbery.

We can play it up a couple weeks.

With no political ramifications?

It won't last us even 2 days.

OK, I'll try somewhere else.

Wait.

We're interested.

I can get you 60,000.

No. 100,000.

OK.

- I need 24 hours to get it.

- No.

It has to be now.

Impossible. This takes time.

I'll call you tomorrow

about where and when.

What, you don't trust us?

I don't even trust my father.

F***...

Where the hell are you? F***, dad.

What, where are you?

I got the cash but can't shake him.

I need your help, please.

Think of something, OK?

Hurry up, hurry up.

F***in' A...

The fag gave him the 18,000

but he kept 3,000 and I bet

it's not the first time.

Call the Turk.

Same guys working the Sarria area.

Good job. Tell Lainez

to leak the news.

You heard him.

He did the swap,

went back to the store

but tried to escape.

What?

Inspector,

Ricardo Snchez is calling.

- It's his fourth call.

- Thanks.

I'm on my way.

Don't take your eyes off him.

I've been calling you for 2 hours.

They offered us a video.

Of you giving the material

to your pal the expert.

My boss wants to buy the tape

and publish the story.

They meet tomorrow

to seal the deal.

It's not looking good, Garro.

F***ing step on it!

Wait, wait a second.

I can explain...

- Where's the tape?

- What tape?

I swear I don't know what tape.

What the hell?

- I want my money.

- What money?

I'm an idiot to think

you came over 'cause you liked me.

- What's this about?

- The 1,800 you stole from me.

Say what?

I didn't steal anything from you.

You were the last person at my place.

Well rememberwho was next to last

because it wasn't me.

F***.

- Wait, wait a sec.

- F*** off.

Wait, please.

I screwed up.

I'm sorry, babe, I screwed up.

What tape do you mean? I swear...

- The tape or I'll kill you now.

- I don't have it.

- Tell me where it is.

- Kay took it.

- And the money? Where's my money?

- She took it.

- Tell me the truth!

- That is the truth.

Boss, there's nothing here.

Take him away.

Sh*t.

Stay in case the girl comes.

Let's get out of here.

Get down.

Stop! Police!

Are you OK?

Dad, where are you? Are you OK?

Yeah, but where are you?

I'm downtown.

We have to meet. You have to bring

the tape and the money.

- He didn't give them the cash.

- Then we stall fortime.

Tell herto be here in 1 hour.

In 1 hour bring everything to

the abandoned factory

at the entrance

to Sant Andreu, honey.

F***, dad. I put the money

in a safe-deposit box.

I can't get it until tomorrow.

Listen up, b*tch.

The longeryou take to get it to us

the worse for your dad.

Do anythingstupid

you won't see him again.

- Do you hear me?

- I hear you.

Tomorrow at 11, same place. 1 minute

late and your dad's a dead man.

I can help you.

I'm not too smart at some stuff,

but I'm good at these things.

First, we have to switch cars.

Got a pen and paper?

THANKS:

Our plan:
Sell the tape to the press

to get rid of the cops.

We'd get them off our backs plus

we'd keep the money and jewels.

We could have got almost 400,000.

Plenty to just disappear.

- A good plan.

- Yeah.

A f***ing great plan.

But my dad's plans always go wrong.

He must be jinxed.

Chema.

Chema.

What do you want?

It's all my fault.

Don't you do anything

to my daughter, OK?

She's just a girl and

none of it's herfault.

Why do you stay with him?

He's my dad.

Yeah.

He's never left me on my own.

When they get the money

and the tape they'll kill him.

Don't feel like helping me anymore?

No. Farfrom it.

Plus I need some help too.

Tell Garro not to hurt her, OK?

Will you tell him?

Can you do me that favor?

She's just a f***ing girl.

I can trust you, right?

It's the fifth step.

If they know about the money

someone from the papertold them.

The f***ing bastard

that objected so much.

We can't do the swap without

those cops showing up.

If they do and we lose them,

it'll be easierto rescue my dad.

What?

You ran away from home?

I'm talking to you.

- You sure kept it quiet.

- It never came up, right?

She your girlfriend?

What do you think?

Do we make a good couple?

Yeah?

- What's up?

- The light doesn't stay on even 1 min.

- Careful!

- Dad!

Dad!

Dad, are you OK?

I'm fine.

We gotta get out of here.

We need to find a safe place.

Don't worry,

it's just kid's stuff.

No, he better stay with me.

OK, see you tomorrow.

I'm going to get something to eat.

Time to sleep.

Listen...

It's betteryour grandparents

don't know about this, OK?

Why'd he want to kill you?

Someone thinks I tricked him

but he's wrong.

I haven't been the best dad

in the world, Adrian...
