No problem.

I'm really tired.

If they know about the photo...

...it means we have a mole.

Giving them information.

Who else has heard it?

No one. I wanted to show you

before Vicente.

Don't give it to him.

Why not?

Who gave you authorisation

to go to Interpol?

What are you saying?

No way,

Vicente is with us on this.

Have a look at his accounts,

find something...

No, no... I can't.

He wouldn't be so stupid

to leave any evidence.

Then, check out his dad or brother.

You know how it works.

You OK?

How can you live like this?

Yes?

Is Amina there?

No, she's not.

I've been looking for her all day.

Come up, then.

Come in. Do you want a drink?

No, thanks. What's going on?

Amina left this for you.

It's the Hand of Fatima.

It protects whoever wears it.

She never took it off.

She's gone.

I'm sorry.

Did she say where?

You should let her go now.

I'll be the judge of that.

Please, tell me where she is.

What's the story?

You just needed some fool

to help you get across?

I was that fool.

I saved you ten grand.

Do I pretend we never f***ed?

Stop it, you're hurting me.

What about me? I don't get it.

I was going to ask you to marry me.

I never asked you for anything.

Not money, not papers,

not even to bring me across.

I had everything planned. But now...

Now what?

All I know is that I don't want

to spend Sundays visiting you in prison

and having sex once a month.

That's if you don't wind up

dead at the bottom of the sea.

That's not going to happen.

Yes, it is. It's what happens to people

who do what you do.

I'm not stupid.

I can handle it.

Nothing's ever gone wrong.

It has for me. Too many times.

And I'm tired.

I'm afraid.

- What if I stop?

- You won't.

- Why?

- It's too much money.

I don't care about money.

You say that

now that you have plenty.

You don't believe me?

Then give me a fortnight.

Or a month, perhaps.

Just to be sure, then you and I

can go wherever you want.

What if you're not back in a month?

Then forget me.

Nio! We've got to go now.

We need to be

on the beach in an hour.

Hang on, wait a sec.

Are you really leaving me?

No way. I'm not staying.

But we agreed.

Don't back out now.

Why has it got to be me?

Why not him?

I'm worthless to them.

Why would you give a sh*t

about some f***ing Arab?

And I drive the boat,

so I'm afraid it's you.

It'll be f***ing paradise.

Order anything you like:

food, drugs, whores...

Don't worry, I will.

But you come with that money.

We'll be here Monday.

See you Monday, then?

Yes. Come on.

It's just landed.

Let's go.

I don't like going out in daylight.

Next time, let's make

sure it's a new moon.

There won't be a next time.

What do you mean?

This is my last time.

The money we'll make from this

means we can do other stuff.

I don't want to do other stuff.

Then hook up with Rachid

or someone else, but count me out.

What's that?

It's my sister, isn't it?

I should never have got

her involved in this.

And just who the f*** are they?

- F***ing hell.

- What?

It's the Royal Moroccan Navy.

They're trigger-happy, that lot.

Didn't we pay them off?

They don't take bribes.

Then we have to switch routes.

What about our plan?

F*** it, we'll just have to improvise.

Do I look like a fool to you?

Did you think I wouldn't find out?

Search all you like! You won't find anything!

But I'll remember this! You bastard!

Making friends as usual, Jess?

F***ing hell.

You never learn, do you, mate?

Tell them it's leaving again.

The chopper's just left.

Where was it again?

Ten miles from Punta Mala?

Yes.

There they are. At 11 o'clock.

The helicopter! Go faster!

Hello?

Sink the boat!

Sink it!

Do it now.

Hey, I think I recognise

our speed demon mate down there.

That kid who got away?

- I think so.

- Yes. It's him.

Watch him.

He's a bit of a daredevil.

Well, we'll give him

a run for his money.

Let's f*** with them.

Manolo, get in closer.

The helicopter is behind us!

F***!

Now, I'm only going to say this once:

Cut your engines.

F***!

Who the f*** does he think he is?

Steve McQueen?

He doesn't even flinch.

They're getting wet now.

They could do with a f***ing shower.

Hold on. We've got a mayday.

Ten miles from here.

A boat with two crew members. It's sinking.

Tell search and rescue.

Hit them again.

Listen... we're closer.

We have to help.

What if it's a set-up

by this lot to get rid of us?

Wouldn't be the first time.

I'm turning back.

F*** it.

They're leaving!

F*** off, pussies!

You fell for it!

F*** you!

Jess! Look at the Arab.

He's got a f***ing nerve.

Cheeky bastard.

He's not giving me the finger!

Go back!

We have to help the others.

It's the law.

Manolo, let's get these guys first.

Then we'll go back.

Make them dump the cargo at least.

If anything happens,

I'm not responsible.

Whatever you say.

They're coming back!

Let's toss it overboard!

What about Compi?

If they catch us with it...

Hold on tight!

They're right above us!

Give them hell, Manolo!

I've almost got the runner

up his arse!

He's back again! Sh*t!

Go for it, man.

Show them who's boss.

What's with you today?

That's it, Manolo.

They're not dumping it.

I'll be f***ed if I let them

get away with this!

Now who's f***ed?

Go faster, damn it.

Throw it overboard

for f***'s sake!

Get me closer.

Closer!

Lower, Manolo.

There you go.

Sh*t!

Hold it there, Manolo.

That's it.

A bit closer!

I'm on it!

That did it!

Get onto the engine.

What?

They won't shoot you! Do it!

Watch out for that one.

Damn it, Manolo, closer!

Watch it!

What the f*** is that?

Get that flare out of here!

Get it out! I can't see!

What the f***...

Where's Manolo?

Get a move on, Halil!

They're dead,

and so are we.

Get moving, damn it!

Let's get the f*** out of here!

No, I'm fine.

It was just a scare.

The pilot? We don't know yet.

There's no need to fly down, love.

Me too.

Big kiss. Bye.

How sweet.

Was it Mara?

Yes.

She wanted to get a plane

and come down here.

- Your daughter?

- Yeah.

How old is she?

She's beautiful.

Does she study abroad?

Eh?

Is she studying abroad?

Yes. She's doing a master's.

When I was down there,

all I thought about was her.

All I could think was,

"Mara, Mara... "

Any news?

No. Not yet.

He'll pull through.

Manolo's as strong as an ox.

Vicente, I accept full responsibility,

no matter what.

Take it easy, there'll be

plenty of time for that.

Halil, is everything OK?

Yes, don't worry about the news.

There was an accident but

Grandma and Grandpa

are here and they're fine.

When can you collect them?

Tonight.

Halil?

Halil!

Halil!

What the f*** did they do to you?

It was Rachid.

He took everything.

He let us come this far

and now he's taken it all.

What do we do now, Halil?

How the f*** are we going to pay?

They've got Compi.

Hey! What is it?

Wait! No, no! Please!

They're bringing the money.

Please! Get off me!

Please, please, please...

They're bringing the money today!
