I know, Gloria.

Im embarrassed, really.

Sorry.

Hold on. Where are you going?

Tell me, what is going on with you?

- No. Whats wrong with you?

Can you let me go, please?

- Of course not.

Hey... I just came to

let you guys know, OK?

You cant force me to do

something I dont want to, OK?

Ive been thinking and...

...I dont want to be

no childs father.

You arent going to

be anybodys father.

Youre going to be a

donor, and thats it.

Wed talked about it.

Really, dont worry.

Theres no problem, George.

What do you mean, no problem,

Ivana? Whats wrong with you?

You know how much this stupid

deal is going to cost me?

Calm down, Gloria.

We have an appointment

in Houston next week.

What are you playing at?

Dont talk to me like that,

you f***ing b*tch.

Its precisely because of that

that I want no part in it.

To think that my own sister...

...will have a son of mine.

Dont f*** around.

Thats called incest, it doesnt

matter how you paint it.

I want no part of that mess, OK?

Excuse me. Please...

- What are you talking about?

Youre sick in the head.

- And youre beautiful, honey.

Ivana, think about it.

You know what?

I dont want to see you ever again.

Dance here,

on the stage. Come up.

Applauses for Hendrix.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me.

Someone is looking for you.

Who is it?

Who told you your son is here?

Ivana.

She told me you had him.

Im very sorry.

There must be a mistake.

As you can see, theres

no place for any boy here.

So you wont give him to me.

Im sorry, but...

...I dont know what

youre talking about.

If you want, we can dial...

...Ivanas number

and clear this up.

Yes?

He also knew the lions were

the kings of the jungle.

Why cant I go out?

- Because the gentlemen...

...are taking care of some things

with other people.

Talk a little quieter, alright?

Yes?

- Ivana.

Chema, whats up?

A woman came to the

house, claiming to be...

...Hendrixs mother.

How do you know his

name is Hendrix, f***er?

Let me go.

Didnt you say he wasnt here?

Calm down, lady.

Let me go.

I want my son.

- Your son isnt here, lady.

Let me go.

This woman is going crazy.

Dont tell her hes there.

Hold on. You know what?

Ill just put her on the

phone and clear things up.

Hendrix.

A piece of paper...

- Its my mom.

No.

Hendrix.

- No, no.

Yes, its my mom.

Nina is at Chemas.

Im heading over.

Ivana, dont be stubborn

and Keep out of it.

Hendrix.

- No, no.

Its my mom.

Let me go.

- Lady.

Hendrix.

Wait, wait.

Mommy.

- Calm down.

I want my son, you f***er.

- Calm down already.

Alright.

Your son is here.

You see, f***er?

Hurry up, already.

Give him to me.

- Im going to go get him.

But I want you to calm down.

Calm down.

Mom.

Didnt you say he wasnt here?

and hes Jean Paul...

...shes Mrs. Chuy,

and hes Gabino.

Come see our room.

Its awesome.

No, no. Were going home. Come.

Wait, wait.

Why dont you think it over?

The boy is very well

taken care of in here.

And you have to see a doctor.

Do I?

Were not staying here?

This isnt your home, Hendrix.

Understand it already. Lets go.

- Hey, hey, whats the matter?

No, dont...

As a matter of fact...

...the kids not leaving.

You got it?

You got it?

- Lf I got it?

Out of my way.

- Try moving me.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Chema, shes his mother.

Shes his mother.

Lady...

...before you leave, why

dont you ask Hendrix...

...what does he want?

Hendrix.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to leave

with your mom...

...or stay with us for a bit...

...and your mommy can come

visit any time she wants.

What do you think?

- I want to stay here...

...with mom.

- Hendrix, this isnt your home.

And I dont know these people.

Lets go.

Mom.

Come on.

Theyre nice people, mom.

They gave me a room

and bought me stuff.

You can come visit him any

time youd like, while we...

...find you some help.

Lady, dont go.

Let me give you my number.

Just in case.

Im going to say goodbye to the boy.

Lets go already.

Bye, Hendrix.

I love you very much.

Move.

Mom, open up.

Look whos waiting for you.

Thats it.

Didnt you see?

Whats up, my champ?

Where were you?

Why arent we

leaving with Chema?

Because this is your home,

Hendrix. Get it already.

Everything is going to be OK.

Go out and play.

Im going to pick things up.

Its the sign.

Too Torres, from where?

Vera turns. Its the chance

to score for a draw.

Atlas is looking to...

He wont talk to anyone.

I had never seen

him so depressed.

Jean Paul, Im so sorry.

I just...

I only wanted to help, and look.

When help comes

from people like us...

...its never going to be

seen with good eyes.

To accept our condition, one

either has to be really smart...

...or really f***ing dumb.

Because...

...life doesnt give you the

tools to deal with this.

Im not so sure I want to

bring a child into this world.

You still feel sick?

Ill feel better.

Im sorry.

I promise Ill take care of you.

And you know what?

Were going to go

on a long trip...

...and buy a beautiful house.

Yes?

Little brat...

...smelly again.

He likes balls...

...big and small.

Its Hendrix...

...and he likes to sing.

Hes a good boy...

...and hes going out to play.

What do you want?

What are you doing here?

I just brought your medicine...

...so youll feel better.

Mom?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Go to your room.

Hendrix.

Hello?

Hello?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What happened?

I dont know.

Who was it?

- I lost the call.

Hendrix?

Answer, theyre talking to you.

Hendrix Montoya Cabrera.

Hes a bit shy at first.

But hell be OK in a minute.

Youre beautiful.

I told you, didnt I?

I want to go home.

In a minute.

Look, Agustin. Im going to tell

you the truth so youll trust me.

His mom and I, we had

some issues years ago.

But shes a crazy junkie.

Shes locked up in a farm.

She hasnt seen him in years,

and shes not interested.

And Hendrix has no dad.

She doesnt even

remember whos the dad.

Ive tried to care for him...

...cause he aint

got nobody, right?

But its really hard, man.

And I just cant handle it

any more, man, I just cant.

Id rather he gets a good family.

No?

NINA:

MY NUMBER:

Answer, damn it.

But how does it go?

Have you got the boys documents?

You see...

...I signed him up with my name.

But Im not his dad.

If we make a deal,

Id give you everything.

Id do the paperwork...

...for the kid to

be in your name...

...so you have no problems.

I want to go with my mom.

- Wheres your mom?

At home.

Shes sick.

What is she sick with?

- I dont know.

He gives my mom her medicines.
