Am I that ugly?

If the police find out

and we don't pay them, it's over.

First they'll beat me up

then they'll throw me in jail.

Will you come to visit me in jail?

Hey, Nio.

At the port, in an hour.

There's a bus stop by the entrance.

Hold this for me.

So, how about a drink?

Come on, then.

I reckon he does the same as us.

And not just him.

There's a lot of money here.

Can't they be rich

without being crooks?

I don't know, maybe,

but I don't think so.

Maybe it's not drugs,

but they must be stealing

one way or another.

I bet your chocolate milk

was for one of these guys.

Are you going to buy a boat too?

A sailing boat would be cooler.

What would you do

with all that money?

I'm not sure, but I know what I'll do

when I have 10,000.

There's a Moroccan in Tangiers

who has Belgian citizenship

and four daughters.

He smuggles girls across.

You'd pretend to be one of them?

He does it every three months.

He always gets away with it.

So when are you leaving?

In two years,

as long as we don't get caught.

Two years?

How much is Halil paying you?

Three times what I got

for carrying packages.

God, your brother's tight.

But if they let you into Ceuta,

why not just take the ferry to Malaga?

We can only go for work.

We can't even stay overnight.

Otherwise they stamp your passport

and it's over.

Why not come with me?

What?

Right now! With the jet ski,

we'll be in Spain in two hours.

Stop making fun of me.

I'm not. I mean it.

Two hours or two years?

Do you think it's that easy?

You think they'd let us

leave the port just like that?

Well... just like that,

maybe not.

Just a drop, OK?

Just a drop,

but we've done half a bottle.

You're dangerous on Baileys.

Cheeky!

A drink, Manuel?

No, just coffee. I'm driving.

That's right,

always on duty.

Coffee, Nan?

I'll go.

Surprise!

Mari Fe, meet Amina.

Happy birthday.

Thank you. You really shouldn't have.

Come in.

What if they'd caught you?

And thrown her in the see?

They didn't catch me.

They didn't,

but she's got you by the balls.

I know what you're like.

The more untameable they are, the better.

What's it been? Two days?

Yes, two days.

Locked up in a hotel, non-stop?

She's not at a hotel.

She's at a Moroccan girlfriend's.

And you're doing them both?

It's not like that.

We're going to get married.

What?

Can you hear yourself?

Watch out for her kind.

The minute she gets citizenship

you won't see her for dust.

No, she doesn't know yet.

It's your idea?

It must be sunstroke.

It's f***ed with your brain.

Not so many candles.

What?

That's at least 30.

F*** it.

Yeah, go ahead, laugh.

I always felt those mountains

were calling me.

And now I know why.

To find you.

Me and a few kilos of hash.

Well, that too.

Compi and I used to come here,

to stare at the see,

to have a smoke and to dream.

What did you dream about?

You'll laugh, but we dreamed

about bringing a nice girl here

and making love to her,

in the see.

How many times has it come true?

For me? Never.

And your friend?

Once. He brought Mari Fe once.

I didn't speak to him for two weeks.

Why? Were you jealous?

A little, I guess.

It meant

he and Mari Fe were serious.

So is this serious?

What do you think?

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

Come on!

Come on in!

Hurry up, it's freezing.

It is cold, isn't it?

Is that why you kept your dress on?

Don't make fun of me.

I'm not. There's nobody here.

And even if there was...

Have I spoiled your dream?

You know what I think?

Dreams can be sh*t.

I'm freezing my balls off here.

This is awesome, dude!

How much is it?

120,000 but we'll put

two more motors on it!

Not two, three!

They'll never stop us then!

Give it some more gas!

I don't like it one bit.

You're scared shitless of Rachid.

You bet I am.

20 kilos, now and again,

is not like doing a big load.

You pay people to load it,

you pay off the cops.

That's a lot of people.

That's why you're here.

You know everyone here, don't you?

Someone has to stay there in Morocco

until we return with the money.

What if they don't?

What do you think?

Relax, Compi, you'll be fine.

We're going to pay.

What? Me? Stay there? No way.

I can't leave Mari Fe now.

She's not afraid of the dark, is she?

She was vomiting a lot.

So we got one of those tests from the pharmacy.

Turns out she's pregnant.

That's great news!

Yeah.

Any idea who the father is?

I'll feed you to the fish,

you little Arab prick!

- "Little Arab prick... "

- I'm not joking, arsehole!

What are you doing? Don't!

It was a joke!

We'll have to get married, for sure.

Then there's the crib and all that...

Well, you've got money.

That's the problem.

A bag full of cash,

and I can't spend it.

The cops won't notice

if you buy a crib or a sofa.

F*** the cops.

It's Mari Fe I'm worried about.

Her and her dad are like the Gestapo.

They notice everything!

If I go to Ikea to buy chairs,

I'm screwed.

How do I explain

where I got the money?

I could say I won the lottery?

And the ticket?

You're right!

I could say I found it.

Then hand it in.

No, she's not that dumb!

Christ, Antonio, you scared me.

What's all this money?

We're rich, babes!

I love you so much!

What did she say?

She said I was a liar and a crook,

and what about our kid...

So it went well.

Yeah, great. I thought she'd run home

to her parents.

There they go. How long?

55 minutes. An hour to refuel and change crew.

An hour without them on our arse.

During the day.

We can do it.

It worth the risk.

I said sorry. I even begged her.

I bet you blamed it on me.

Of course I did.

I blamed you too.

I said we'd got in with a bad crowd.

Bastard.

Did she buy it?

I'm not sure,

but after two hours of yelling,

she shoved all the cash

into the bag. Then she said,

"Let's go shopping".

Son of a gun!

I had to swear

I wouldn't do it again, though.

We can bring the boat in there.

It'll take five of us ten minutes.

F***ing great.

Yes.

That's it!

Come on!

Come on, Compi!

The dad-to-be!

That's it, Compi!

Your last party!

Come here, man!

This is a historic moment.

Let's record it.

Son, this is how

your daddy's fortune started.

Is this like a date for workmates

who meet out of work?

Yes, exactly.

Listen to this.

It's the Englishman.

Where did you get this?

From Interpol.

That's Murat Agani,

Albanian Kosovar.

He works out of Hamburg.

He deals in heroin and now cocaine.

Interpol want anything we find,

and we get this.

Good work.

Any other wire taps?

Isn't this enough?

They said they want to kill you!

Who's heard this?

Did you hear me?

- Eva...

- Let's drop it.

Let's just forget this crap.

We're not exactly saving the world.

It's not worth it.

- Not worth it?

- No.

I see.

Then what are we doing?

Playing cops and robbers?

Just paying the bills?

What the f*** are we doing?

If it's not worth it,

what the f*** are we doing?

Can you tell me?

Sorry, I'm really tired.
