Run away, run away

I'm not afraid of anything

...neither dogs

...or gypsies

...or night

...or wind

...or earthquakes

I'm not afraid of anything

I'm not afraid of anything

...or fires

...or cemeteries

...or the stars

I'm not afraid of anything

You went too far Danilo!

Don't screw with me Katty.

I've got such a hangover.

Mom's going to arrive,

what'll she say?

We were so crazy last night.

You're really getting out of hand.

They brought me back crawling.

Hello girl.

Hi mom.

Have you been here

all day long?

Why don't you

exploit the location.

For you.

And this present,

it's your surprise for me?

No, that's tomorrow.

We'll be going on a trip.

Hey kid, give me that

it's mine...

I didn't know it was yours,

take your shitty present.

You cheeky...

Not even a hello.

Hello... Don't smoke indoors.

I've told you...

Tomorrow Katty,

tomorrow's your day.

Smile...

now look over here.

Katty.

We've got to go,

our visit is about to start.

Next please.

But mom.

Shut up...

And this?

You can't take this in.

Get a move on... come on.

Katty, say hello to your dad.

You explain it to her,

it was You who wanted to see her.

You look so big my girl!

Isn't she beautiful?

My Katty!

I've only got a

few weeks left here.

I promise I'll change my ways.

Don't tell me, try

explaining to the girl.

Girls, how are you all?

Hello, hello Katty.

No pushing; last one

closes the door.

How was your vacation?

Fine.

Let's write an essay...

about what each one

did on their vacation.

I myself saw Aunt Carmen who's 93,

a lovely old girl.

Had a great time;

she lives in Pichidangi.

That's on the coast...

You must be the new boy?

That's right miss.

Guillermo Gmez, or not?

That's right, Guillermo...

but they call me Chemo.

Wonderful.

Sit down Chemo;

Choose where to sit and

then stay there all term.

...she's 93 years old and

is my Aunt Carmen...

She's a happy person.

It's very important in life

to be happy, children...

Very important, and she showed

me to be... happy.

Hello Katty...

Waiting for the bus?

Yes, I'm going home.

It's about twenty minutes out in the country

Do you mind if I ask.

Is it true what they are saying,

that your dad's in prison?

Yes; so what?

Hey Katty.

Don't get angry, sorry...

But it must be great

to have a crooked dad.

Mine comes home angry

every single day.

What's there to do here?

Depends what you want.

Well...

I've just arrived from PuntaArenas.

It's really pretty there,

ships come from all over the world.

...like this one

This is Chemo 2001.

It's for you.

So how did you get here

They transferred my dad for work.

But you know, I always

wanted to go toArica.

I don't know... Arica, Punta Arenas...

I feel like I'm getting closer each time.

- You're still here, hurry up.

- I'm off.

You'll arrive late... bye.

Remember, put the cat out.

Valparaiso,

Copiapo,

lquique,

Arica...

Need to make the list

of all the items missing.

Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow.

You're off?

Yes... we're closed.

And the goods?

Franco, did you forget to give them to her?

Oh honey, I forgot.

Wait, I'll get them at once.

The tins are the ones

I told you about,

...and the sweets are

for both kids...

but the celery's specially

for Katty from me...

Thank you Gladys.

See you tomorrow Franco.

Until tomorrow...

Say hi to Katty for me.

How wonderful,

spring's arrived!

That's crazy,

If you take us we'll pay

for your pinball.

Me first.

I've told you

not to smoke indoors...

Are you going out?

Just around here.

But tomorrow you have to

go to work, and it's dark.

Keep cool...

Why don't you stay in?

Why stay, to watch TV?

Don't give a sh*t aboutTV!

Look Katty,

in this life

you can't choose your dad.

You can choose a cat or

a dog, but not your dad.

What's yours is yours.

You just have to live with it.

Your dad's not so bad,

it's worse to be a bastard.

You'll learn to love him.

But why me...

a crook, and in jail.

Just shut up Katty...

You're making me miss my soap opera.

Pass the salt.

Leave it there.

Here's to your dad, Katty.

Come on, brighten up.

You're so handsome... hair's greyer.

And you honey bunny

It's been ages since

I've seen my mom so happy.

Happy?

Don't be dumb...

It may look romantic...

she's just horny!

He always gets what he wants.

Look how he's got her... relaxed.

Sh*t this is good;

hot and tasty

You've gotten so big!

Come and eat...

Radomir, what are you

going to do today?

Nothing.

What do you mean nothing?

Why not go out,

see if you can find a job.

Don't hassle me, I've just gotten out.

I'm looking a little pale.

I'd be great if you could get a job.

And stop all the

gossip from going around.

When I was in jail...

And that's where

I'm at... trying to be... positive.

That's all very good, but

you've got to do something.

If you would do that... our

lives would turn for the better

Why not?

I was just passing by...

brought this for the house.

Thanks Franco.

Hey Radomir... how's it going?

How was the vacation?

So, so.

Need a hand?

Thanks.

Thinking of staying long around here?

We'll see...

He's the same as ever,

people don't change.

Are you off to the village?

I'm tired of this hell hole.

All this sh*t around, the ducks, the pigs...

So what are you waiting for?

I just want to get away.

To get some cash.

I have a tour coming up

that's taking me up north.

Is that so?

Perhaps you can be useful to me.

You're my friend.

Yeah.

Yugoslav.

What are you doing here?

Just a few days ago.

And how's business?

I'm not mixed up in that

scene anymore.

Just working here, I'm happy,

keep cool, get it?

Last time they caught me,

they beat the sh*t out of me.

Who'd f***ing believe it,

you speaking like this.

You've got a lovely girl,

you should think about her

Change your ways,

don't get mixed up again.

I hear they need people here,

I can put you in touch.

I'm looking for employees.

What can you do?

Everything...

Look, around here,

you've got to be responsible.

These machines are heavy.

Any accident involving a kid

and we're done.

Don't worry.

But I need to tell you...

I just got out ofjail.

What the hell!

I've got it all under control,

no problem.

Is she your daughter?

Come and see me in 2...

no... in a few weeks.

Wait for me.

Get in Katty...

Thank you buddy!

Get out Katty;

we need to park the car.

For me Radomiro?

...and with surround?

And this is for you baby.

...old man

...can I keep it?

- What's up?

What do you mean?

You think I'm stupid;

where did you get the money?

That's my business.

You f***ed up again...

and who's the one that has to stay here!

Quit bugging me!

Go to hell!

Katty, sit down.

Look,

here I am with

my cousins...

Here's grandpa'...

grandpa' Mardovich

He sure loved Chilean women!

They sure would go crazy

for any man with blue eyes.

Arica...

That's where the Mardovich

first arrived, back

in 1949.

One day we'll go.

Why not?
