Watch out!

Hold his legs.

Hold tight!

Lift him!

Let's go!

Move it! Get in!

Let me see who it is.

Good morning,

I am from the census bureau.

Are you the head of the family?

I guess so.

We are carrying out

a nationwide census,

and I need to ask you a few questions.

It will only take 5 minutes.

Can I come in or should we do it here?

Here is fine.

What's your name?

- Heli Alberto Silva.

- I just need your first name.

- Heli?

- With an H.

Are you employed?

Yes.

What's your profession?

I work at the Hiro plant.

At the car factory?

Automobile industry.

Do you work full time?

Yes, the night shift.

Are you looking for work?

Another job?

How many people live here?

Four of us.

My dad, my sister,

my wife, the baby.

Make that five!

- Do you have tap water?

- Yes.

Washing machine?

No, my wife washes.

- Refrigerator?

- Yes.

How many bedrooms?

Two.

Level of education?

High school.

Any disabled people in the household?

Well, no.

That's all, thanks.

Bye.

Dad.

How did it go?

Good.

Sabrina left you some dinner.

Do you want the radio?

No, I'm going to take a nap.

Don't get caught.

During lunch break.

See you, then.

What are you doing?

Explanation of social processes,

communication, conflicts,

decision-making, cooperation...

That sort of thing.

I don't remember any of that.

At your age,

I probably won't either.

It's 1 am. Don't overdo it.

Well, I'm off to bed.

Good night.

Good night.

You frightened it.

Do you like the puppy?

Yes, a lot.

Here, let me hold it.

Hold on.

You want to stop?

I think so.

Don't you love me?

I do.

I have to go to training.

Can I come and see you?

It's not allowed.

Do they make you do

very difficult things?

It's easy!

But some can't hack it. Not me.

What do you have to do?

If you want I can show you

how strong I am.

I hope they let me keep it.

It looks much better now.

Have you started having sex again?

Why not?

I haven't wanted to, doctor.

Where did you find it?

Abandoned next to the garambulla cactus.

What are you going to call it?

Cookie.

So, you've even named it.

Will you buy it food?

It can eat leftovers.

Where will you keep it?

In the yard, then on the roof.

She's in her bedroom

I'm in her bedroom

She's in her bed

I'm in her bed

I can't hear you!

Hit the floor, hit it!

Harder, gentlemen!

Louder!

I'm in her bedroom

She's in her bed

I'm in her bed

She started crying

Don't be such pussies!

Feeling sick, Beto?

Did you puke?

How many rounds have you done?

This is my fourth.

Do another 6 and you'll be done.

OK? Off you go.

The other way.

Roll toward your puke.

Go on, Beto!

Keep going!

Keep rolling, right over your puke!

Go back!

Keep rolling!

Stop right there!

The exercise is over for you.

That's enough, crazy bastards!

That's enough?

Say the number.

I'm asking you the f***ing number,

little fag!

That's it!

Want some water?

Answer me. Some water?

Let's give him some water!

The customer always gets

what he wants!

Here's your water.

Do you want more water?

See you later.

I'm going soon.

OK, sweetie.

Can I tell you something?

What?

How did you know that Heli was the one?

The one for what?

To be your boyfriend, and all that.

Are you in love?

I don't know. Maybe.

Really?

Just don't be skipping school.

How old is he?

His name is Beto.

He's a bit old for you.

How did it go yesterday?

Good.

What did they teach you?

Special techniques,

but I can't tell you.

Do you love me?

Yes, and you?

A lot.

Then why won't you go

all the way with me?

I don't know. I'm scared.

Of getting in trouble?

Yes, or getting pregnant.

I don't want to right now.

The puppy is enough for now?

Yes.

What did you name it?

Cookie.

Do you want to see something?

Yes.

Wait here.

Oh sh*t!

I didn't know that damn dog was there.

What did you want to show me?

Something I was told about.

What is it?

You wouldn't believe me.

Of course I would.

Just tell me!

Tell me.

They found a UFO.

Was there anyone inside?

A goblin who killed the alien.

I'm serious!

Will you marry me?

Yes, of course!

We wouldn't live here, though.

Then I don't know.

Alright. Let's get married.

Bye.

Estela!

Introduce him to us!

Sorry, he's my property.

Rent him then!

Good afternoon, dear public.

Today, we are carrying out

the destruction of 22 tons of marihuana,

7 tons of cocaine,

3881 counterfeit products,

including CDs and DVDs,

as well as 10 slot machines.

With these actions,

the federal government

reaffirms its commitment

to an environment

of juridical stability,

in which the people are confident

that they can rely on

government institutions.

An environment which guarantees rights

and the protection of property

by the enforcement of the law.

Thank you very much.

I have a damn flat tire.

Too bad, you'll have to walk.

See you.

Damn!

Excuse me, dog.

Come up!

Tomorrow I will sell it

but we need a place to hide it

until then.

What then?

Then, we'll go to Zacatecas

and get married.

Alright.

Come here so I can kiss you.

Who's there?

It's me.

Who jumped?

- No one.

- Liar!

He was a friend.

What were you doing here?

Nothing.

Let go of me!

Heli! Estela!

What's going on?

- I'll be waiting for you here.

- Seriously?

Don't step out of the school.

Give me your mobile.

You're being really mean to me!

I'm back.

We're out of water!

I'll check!

I'm going out.

Where to?

To pick some prickly pears,

I'll be back soon.

Alright.

I'm meeting Rosalinda later.

Will you take Santiago?

Yes.

Do you want to confess to me

or to the police?

Let me go!

Where are the packages?

I threw them away!

Let me go!

You've ruined everything!

I don't think so.

Open it!

Son of a b*tch!

I hate you!

Sabrina!

I'm going to marry Beto!

And I'll never come back!

I really hate you!

Aren't you going to work?

I've locked up Estela.

Because of her boyfriend?

Yes.

You need to go to work

or they'll fire you.

Go, even if you're late.

My dad's here.

Let's take this door down!

Hands up!

Don't move!

Freeze, f***ing dog!

Don't move, you idiot!

I can explain everything!

Where are the packages?

I'm asking you!

Where are the packages?

I'm asking you!

Don't move, you idiot!

What are you looking at, f***er?

Into the truck, you prick!

Get in, I don't have all day!

It wasn't me!

He will take us

where he threw them!

Let's go!

Beto...

Keep your eyes ahead, a**hole!

Don't worry, little girl, it won't hurt.

- Don't touch her!

- Keep still!

Don't move, bastard!

Keep still!

He stole them.

Shut the f*** up

or I'll shoot you, son of a b*tch!

Don't touch me,

please don't touch me!

You're screwed now.

- Don't leave him here!

- Keep still!

Dad!

So don't you feel a bit lighter?

Like...

as if you were more present?

I resent Heli a little bit.

Because he took me away

from my family,

my friends, my home...

How's that?

Well, he didn't force me.

We fell in love.

He refused to live in Durango

and we moved here with his family.
