That's not my problem,

As soon as I get my license back,

I'm out.

Today, I'll talk to Rinaldi.

I need you beside me!

Wait,

Do you want to leave or stay?

No one's throwing me out,

The one leaving is the Dog.

Rinaldi wants his ass,

he told me so.

How much longer can he resist?

He's done for,

Who's next in line?

Don't underestimate the Dog.

You listen to me,

We have to stick together now,

C'mon, man...,

You really want my head?

They buy it from you,

not me.

Mr. Moyano,

the taxi company called,

the car's running late.

Excuse me, I'm not Moyano.

Sorry,

Mr. Moyano had a traffic accident.

I'm his attorney,

but I haven't met him in person,

I had an accident, too.

Really?

What happened?

A son of a b*tch

ran me over with his truck.

- When was that?

- Yesterday.

- Did you get X-rays?

- Yes,

Can I see them?

She was going to work.

A car leaving a nightclub

ran her lover.

- At what time?

- At dawn.

- Married? Any children?

- Yes, married, two children.

Do you know the husband?

Yes, he's on his way.

You left some stuff

here yesterday, Sosa.

You left some stuff

here yesterday, Sosa.

Stop by headquarters.

Roger that, I'm coming.

I'll wait for you.

Evening, Hi, Sosa,

- Here's the paperwork.

- Good.

What's the story on Almafuerte Ave.?

Female, 82 years old,

high blood pressure,

suffered a hypertensive crisis,

- Six victims, total.

- Good evening.

- Hi there, Pico,

- Who's hungry?

- Remember the Mosconi St. Guy?

- Who?

The one who hit a cyclist,

Yeah, He had some kind of trouble

with his bank

and his insurance policy went unpaid.

The same day,

he hit and killed this guy on a bike,

- Rotten luck!

- Bet the cyclist ran a light,

Someone is always to blame,

Sure, but insurance company's pay

because an accident is an accident.

And that ady

from the driving school.

A driving instructor,

with years of experience.

One day, she's driving a long,

when right in front of her windshield

this guy drops dead,

hit by a falling flowerpot.

She's so distressed,

she has a heart attack right there,

So her car keeps going,

runs up the sidewalk

and hits this kid,

her own nephew...

- Bullshit!

- No, this stuff happens!

The unit's on its way.

Ready to go, guys?

There's nothing for you, Sosa,

See ya.

See ya.

Lujn!

- Everything okay?

- Yes.

I don't dolma practice.

It takes forever,

you never see the money.

I don't mess with doctors.

Good to know.

How can I change

the way you look at me?

- Meaning?

- I don't know. Like I scare you,

I'm not afraid of you.

Do you like working here?

Yes, I do,

But I don't plan

to be on call all my life.

Right, You're waiting

for a better opportunity.

- Something like that.

- Me too.

What are you waiting for?

A multiple colision?

No, I'm not sure...

A change of scenery,

getting out of here...

I'm not really sure.

Truth is, since I started

bumping into you regularly,

I'm considering staying here.

- Is that your pick up line?

- No, it's the truth.

- I'm not very good at...

- Ready, Lujn?

I have to go.

What time do you finish...

your shift?

Coming!

At 8.

But I may leave a bit early.

Can I wait for you?

Sure. If you like,

- I'll wait for you.

- Okay.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah, and you?

- I'm done.

- Did it go well?

Yeah, but I'm kind of tired.

I should get some sleep,

I guess.

Can I buy you a coffee here?

Five minutes?

You graduated,

did your residency there,

and since positions were rare,

Pico helped you get this job.

That's not so bad.

What about you?

What about me?

What did you do

to lose your license?

Nothing.

- Nothing?

- No, It was bad luck, that's all.

Really?

But I'm pretty sure...

it's changing.

- What's changing?

- My luck.

Why?

See that traffic light?

That one.

If two cars run the red light,

I'll kiss you.

- Are you crazy?

- No, it's just a game.

Just to show you

my luck is changing.

- Two is too easy,

- Would you go for three?

Ten.

That's unreasonable

and you know it.

It's 6 a.m.

Okay, four.

Four is a lot.

Four... Let's see.

Help me out here, people.

Here comes the first.

Yes.

Two.

Two... Good job.

- Trucks don't count,

- Yes, they do.

Three, four...

Five!

I made it!

And not a single truck.

- I won't kiss you, though.

- I'll kiss you, then.

- I have to go.

- I'm in a tough spot.

Should I close it?

Can you finish it for today?

Sure.

"La Superior," good insurance,

Is it still valid?

Yes...

Alright.

How much do you want for it?

and we have a deal.

"I hereby authorize

payment of the amount,

as stated

in the agreement de quota litis,

and to be deducted

from the final damages obtained.

Two equal documents

are signed as proof of conformity."

When do I get the rest?

Like I said, you have to wait.

I know, but only

finish reading.

I'll be a minute.

How much

do you want to give him?

Give him 200 more,

I met with Rinaldi.

It's all I set.

You need to see him.

- Same old story?

- Yes, I don't trust you.

No place will treat you

better than we do, Sosa.

There you go, 200 more,

Thanks, man!

Thank you.

- What do I do now?

- Sign.

I could do with a nice cold beer.

Vega, you drunkard, sign,

We're doing it tonight.

Hi.

At last!

Come here.

Everything okay?

Yes, fine.

- What happened?

- Nothing. You fell asleep.

Sorry.

Don't worry.

- How long did I sleep?

- Around 12 hours.

Are you hungry?

You're not a morning talker.

No, it's just that

I'm not very used to it.

Want me to give you a hand?

Chop more red pepper

and that zucchini.

- This one?

- Right.

Both.

Like this?

Yes.

Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Filling in.

Where's Santilln?

Not a clue,

I'll go get ready.

Not a clue,

I'll go get ready.

Then, do a quick arpeggio

using thumb and nails.

- Get it?

- Yes.

The thumb, when pointing down,

strums the lower notes,

The rest of the hand...

plays the higher notes.

The third, second and first...

Then, a quick arpeggio

using your thumb and nails,

Thumb, hand, thumb, hand...

Look at me.

The secret to Samba

is in the strumming,

I wish I knew

how to play an instrument.

- Do you play anything?

- No.

You smell of alcohol.

- No.

- Don't lie to me,

No!

- C'mon! Are we done here?

- We're done,

Keep your leg straight,

Little kids should learn

to play an instrument.

Here, bite this.

- What do you feel?

- Nothing...

- Sure?

- Yes! Don't chicken out on me!

Okay, here it goes.

Don't shout.

Hang in there!

C'mon, be strong!

Don't shout or we're f***ed.

Listen to me!

It's all you from here,

Remember what I told you?

Don't look at him,

Vega, do you hear me?

Yes!

Okay, hang in there!

What happened, dude?

He jumped out of nowhere!

This has never happened to me!

- What did you do?

- He jumped at my windshield,

- Are you okay, sir?

- Can you hear me?

I've been driving 30 years and

this never happened to me!

Where are we going, Pico?

Where are we going, Pico?

To aid a victim,

But headquarters didn't radio us.
