Combustion Page #3

You only get in a race like this

by invitation.

Who invited you?

I don't know his name.

I met him through a customer.

We started talking about cars...

At the jewelry store?

Yes.

Is he one of these men?

No.

It's a gang of thieves.

They use the girl as bait

to get into the houses.

We've been after them

for some time.

Do you get it?

No.

I'm sorry,

but I can't help you.

Very well.

If they contact you

or if you change your mind,

call me, that's my number.

I didn't want to worry you, Julia,

that's all.

You said you'd quit for good,

that you'd never race again.

And to top it off, illegal races.

I'm having a rough time, that's all.

Who is she?

Nobody.

This is because of the wedding.

Is that it?

You're scared, so you bang

the first b*tch you come across.

Or is it serious?

What are you saying?

If that's not it,

then tell me what's wrong.

A person doesn't change

completely overnight.

Maybe now I'm who

I really want to be.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's not only the wedding,

it's everything, this life...

Julia, we got here out of habit.

Habit?

Habit, Julia, habit.

We decided to get married

cause we were supposed to...

Who is she, Mikel?

Do I know her?

Do I know her?!

No, you don't know her.

You must admit that if we split up,

you'd be relieved.

Do you mean...

you're breaking up with me

as a favor?

I really need this.

I need to get away,

from the wedding, the store, you...

Then why did you let us

go this far, damn it?

Get out of my house.

Go!

And leave the key.

Mikel.

I wasn't with you out of habit.

It was out of love.

F***!

Let's just stick to the plan!

Nano, don't go on about it.

You let him find the garage!

You let him race!

It couldn't be more perfect!

I don't get it!

I really don't!

I don't get it either.

How many suckers like me

have you taken in?

- Easy, man.

- F*** easy!

What the f*** is this about?

My car?

Julia's store?

Or did you want everything?

What did you tell them?

What the f*** can I say

if I don't know anything?

It's true,

we were after your money.

Fine.

Now what?

Nothing. You know everything,

so we forget about your money.

- Just like that?

- Just like that.

F***, Navas,

he just came from the cops.

Relax.

Nothing to say?

What do you want me to say?

It is what it is.

You better wise up, Escribano.

Mikel.

Now you're one of us.

Don't screw us over.

Navas...

We can't let him go

just like that.

He could f*** us up big-time.

Open the door for him, Nano.

What are you doing here?

Nothing, man. Relax.

Ari's downstairs.

We want to sort this out

like civilized human beings.

Civilized human beings...

I'm not going to give you away,

but please leave me alone.

I know that, and we owe you.

All this has been

a bad smash-up.

You manned up for me.

Why don't you come along?

We'll forget about it.

There's nothing to forget.

Ari's with you,

that's pretty clear, right?

That doesn't mean

she doesn't want to see you again.

There's a party in the suburbs.

Why don't you come along?

You don't give up, do you?

Never.

I'll go get changed.

I didn't think you were coming.

Your boy can be persuasive.

- We're gonna have a blast tonight.

- Let's go.

Are you alright?

How do you do it?

You really want to know?

See that girl?

She's got a Lexus convertible

parked out front.

The keys are in her bag.

Grab them and take the car.

I'll wait outside.

So this is how it feels?

Cool, huh?

Are you okay?

I'm in heaven.

F***, you're so hot, Ari.

Cut it out, Navas.

You're kinda wasted.

Yeah?

Good morning.

Where are you?

That's none of your business.

You stole that car.

They saw you at the party,

and they're looking for it.

Hold on,

what are you talking about?

So don't bother us anymore.

Is that clear, Escribano?

- Yes.

- Good.

Now he won't come back

to the garage,

or even think about

talking to the cops.

You're a bastard.

Why didn't you tell me.

You wouldn't have come.

What do you know?

Don't you trust me now?

You tell me.

Can I trust you?

What's going on, Navas?

What are you doing?

I'm going to race against

the Argentinean.

Are you crazy or what?

We've got no choice.

We don't have time

for the architect thing,

and we can't risk

Mikel talking to the cops.

Navas, that's enough of that.

That's enough.

No, gorgeous.

I'm going to race in Lisbon.

There'll be other races.

There won't be any other races,

or any more chances.

You have to grab them

when they come along, Ari.

What if you lose?

It's my money too.

I'm doing this for you,

for us.

You don't care what I think.

Of course I do.

Don't worry.

I got it all figured out.

Count it if you like.

It's alright.

There's only 100,000.

Are you wasting my time?

It's 100,000 plus my car.

That makes it 200,000.

I'll take the car as collateral,

but it's no good to me.

If you lose,

you'll have to get the cash.

Sure.

The race...

...is there and back.

Everyone in their own lane.

Got it?

What's wrong with you?

It was meant to be separate lanes,

and you cut me off half-way.

I got here first,

and that's what counts.

Those weren't your rules!

Let's do the race again.

No.

You lost.

I want my 100,000...

...the day after tomorrow.

Coming!

Cut it out.

Stop playing with me.

I just wanted to know

if you were alright.

And to apologize.

Yeah, I'm fine, f***ing great.

I left my fiance for a girl

who wants to rob me blind.

You left your fiance?

I sure did.

And my job, my life, everything.

And it was worth it.

Are you still into

running off to somewhere?

Where do you want to end up?

I really screwed up.

But I want to be with you.

I love you.

- What about Navas?

- I don't care about Navas.

I love you.

Open up.

Open the door!

Open up!

It's Navas.

Open the door!

Open up!

What are you doing here?

There's nothing for you here.

Get dressed,

we're going on a trip.

No. This isn't your f***ing garage,

you can't walk in giving orders.

You shut your mouth.

You're in my home.

Get dressed, Ari.

I won the race.

Get out.

You're staying with this loser?

Come on, Navas...

Stop it!

F*** all this.

You're more important than Lisbon.

It was all my fault.

I didn't take care of you,

but that's over.

It's over, babe, I swear.

You can't show up here,

come out with this sh*t,

and expect me to come with you.

Go.

Fine.

But you know you're coming.

I'll be at the airport at 8 o'clock,

waiting for you.

You know why she'll be there?

No. You tell me.

Because she loves me.

You're just a toy to her.

You'll find that out.

I'm sorry.

Are you thinking about it?

No.

No.

But...

Whatever you choose to do,

I'll understand.

Hello. This is Ari.

Leave a message and I'll call back.

Hello. This is Ari.

Leave a message and I'll call back.

Where are you going?

Nowhere.

What are you doing here?

You shouldn't trust

your people so much.

A trip to Punta del Este.

Don't make a scene here,

you'll come off worst.

Do we tell the cops where you got
