One day I'll record you

and send it to your wife.

- That'll teach you.

- Yeah, right.

Here, take this.

For Mara, from her godfather.

I was only joking about that.

I know, but you were right.

I tell you what:

when she's back home on holiday,

you give it to her.

- She'll like that.

- OK.

But one thing:

I don't want you as a son-in-law.

- Are you crazy?

- I'm joking!

You're sick.

Nio, stop looking at it,

you'll wear it out.

Yes, boss, OK.

What's this?

I'm sick of taking the bus.

I want to show you something.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah!

See that white one there?

Which?

The one with the sign.

See it? That's the one.

Leaving your grandma's?

I can't have Mari Fe over there.

I knew she'd get to you.

I couldn't say no.

She wouldn't even talk to me for a week.

She didn't buy that Seville thing.

I suggested living together,

to see her reaction, and she said yes.

And her dad?

Her dad's like me.

He does whatever she says.

But I imagine he's not happy.

Suit yourself,

but this is a shithole.

A shithole?

It's great, it's got the see...

Yeah, and all the rats that

have been living there for 20 years.

Sh*t, Nio,

you're putting me off it now.

What's that guy doing here?

I met him again the other day.

F***!

Hey, wait up.

We're going into business together.

With him? Are you nuts?

He's sick of working for that Arab.

Hey, wait up. Dude, wait up.

Look, wait, man. Think about it.

Right now, we've got cash.

You've still got yours, no?

What I have left plus Halil's...

Halil wants in?

He's all in, dude, and not just

with cash. He has the knowledge.

He knows where we can buy hash

and who to sell it to.

- See what I mean?

- Move!

What? Now you're pissed off?

Fine! Every man for himself.

We need to hit the streets.

You go to bed early. If you're late,

your boss will kill you.

Give me yours, Compi.

Damn, you're disgusting.

It's so I don't lose it.

Buy a wallet like normal people.

If you don't want it...

It's OK.

Hey! There's only 2,000.

Is the rest stuck to your balls?

It went on the bike and the flat.

Two grand and my five

will get us jack sh*t.

Put me in for ten.

F***ing hell! Sweet!

See? I told you he was all in.

Hand it over.

That's enough

for 20 kg of pollen.

That fits in a backpack.

Some nut on a jet ski with a backpack.

They won't notice.

How much is it worth in Spain?

2,000, if it's good.

2,000 times 20 is...

Not that much, is it?

How do all great journeys start?

With one small step.

Get the f*** out of here!

One small step!

Whatever!

It's a saying.

A saying from your country?

You can keep it.

Wow, man, this is beautiful.

Stop the car!

Bloody hell...

It's beautiful!

You bought a camera too?

No, it's Mari Fe's dad's.

Make sure the cops

don't see that tape.

You hear that?

The drums of Ketama.

The nicest music in the world.

It's beautiful.

This is the pollen.

There's not much of it.

Of course not. 100 kilos of weed

equal one kilo of pollen.

Keep banging the drums, guys.

Dude, this one is taller than me!

Come back before you get dizzy.

This is f***ing paradise, dude.

How can they forbid

something so beautiful?

Put the camera away.

We don't want trouble.

In two days,

the pollen will be in Ttouan.

Why not at the beach?

If we can't pay the cops off,

they won't do it.

So you'll bring it down?

Who? Me? I can't.

If Rachid finds out,

he'll cut my balls off.

I can't.

Who will do it then? Him?

This is f***ing beautiful!

Like f***ing paradise, dude!

It has to be a local.

Someone we can trust.

It's your call, Halil.

I'm going to ask somebody.

She's already gone through.

We have to go into Ceuta.

She gets through a lot of nappies!

No, she's paid to bring them.

They all are.

Even chocolate milk?

They have nothing.

In Europe, we have it all.

Morocco has high taxes.

That's why they come here.

They're taking the truck tyres.

I wonder how they get the rest of it.

Once they're across,

they get back in line to do it again?

That's their job. Every day.

Sh*t.

There she is!

That's my sister.

Amina! Amina!

Amina!

His sister's hot, isn't she?

Better looking than her brother.

I think he must be adopted.

For sure.

Did she catch you filming her?

I think so.

No problem.

My sister is cool with it.

Halil, I don't understand Arabic,

but she didn't sound very happy.

Family stuff.

But she agrees to it?

I already told you she does.

I don't want to be stood up.

My sister's crazy,

but you can trust her.

She needs the money.

She's all alone.

What about you?

I hadn't seen her for two years.

Not me, my siblings

or my parents.

She got divorced

and wouldn't come home.

She's always been proud,

and she won't find a husband here.

The second-hand market

not so good here?

Not if you're as stubborn as her.

At home, she was always shouting

and arguing.

She never learned.

So now she's bringing in packages.

Come closer!

I can't! It's too rocky!

You come!

Next time,

pick it up one the shore, arsehole.

Sh*t, look at all that.

Must be at least 3,000 kilos.

At the very least.

Where are the Civil Guard?

On their way. But in two minutes,

this will be over.

What shall we do?

Bring her down.

Otherwise we'll lose them.

All right, then.

The cops are here!

We can't unload all the gear.

If you come back empty-handed,

I'll slit your throat.

You hear me?

Hurry up!

Damn it!

Go, go, go!

Over here, damn it!

Don't move!

You make us work for this.

Halil!

Listen, your friend

can't speak to you right now.

Because I'm about to beat

the sh*t out of him!

You hear me?

He had no choice but to crawl

into a sewer pipe full of sh*t.

The cop shouts into the pipe:

I'll wait as long as I have to,

then I'll kill you.

How long did he wait?

The cop? Like, ten minutes.

And Halil?

Two days. We looked everywhere,

we couldn't find him.

He must've been scared shitless.

He thought every cop in Spain

was coming after him.

But he's OK?

Yeah.

Except for the smell.

Though it's not the sewer smell.

It's all the aftershave

he's been using to cover it up.

I think you had better be going.

That's too bad,

because I really like it here.

You'd get 14 years for this.

This isn't Spain.

Would you visit me in jail?

It's no joke.

But would you come or not?

I barely even know you.

We can soon fix that.

How about I come back tomorrow?

There's no shipment tomorrow.

Exactly.

If the cops aren't after us,

we'll have more time to talk.

It's not a good idea.

Well, I'll be here tomorrow anyway.

What if I wear loads of aftershave?

A present for you.

Here's the Englishman.

Find out who this guy is.

He met the Englishman today.

That's what he came for.

The Englishman gave him the case

and then he got

on the afternoon flight to London.

How long have you been following

the Englishman around Gibraltar?

No pain no gain, right?

Amina!

What are you doing here?

I left the jet ski at Marina Smir.

Let's go for a ride.

I don't want to be seen with you.
