He wound up with a tribal cut

full of crosses.

His wife found out about it.

She aI'most shaved his head.

then was this other guy...

He had these dreadlocks...

When he got out of his car.

He could wrap his locks

around his fist.

Once, he fell asleep at a party

and they cut his locks, bro.

Some guy to ok the clippers

Design and the cut, all included.

Ok. then.

You better be good, kid.

Go ahead, Don't be scared.

Be careful. man!

Relax, buddy.

Don't hold the blade like that.

Lighten your grip and come down

easy so you don't cut him.

You know what, Nelson?

What?

You should give me a job.

Slow down, bro.

You know I'm a fast learner.

What I need is more customers.

not more barbers.

Lighten up a little.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

l saw you looking at shampoo

in the shop.

I don' t like anybody following me.

Nelson finally lent me the clippers.

Don't mess it up.

I'll give you a cut if you want.

Start by evening it out.

Leave it a little higher in the back.

Leave room for the design.

What crazy shape

are you making him?

You go in with the clippers

like this.

So you finally remembered.

We have to keep saving.

it was just a scratch.

Tomas, we have to talk.

Since you've abandoned me.

l need you to take care of Jairo.

No problem.

If you hadnt listened

to your security guard.

Jairo wouldn't be here.

How dare you

speak to me like that?

I've always tried

to get him out of trouble.

But he's constantly

roaming the streets.

Doing drugs.

Have you forgotten

thats where were from?

I want to forget

everything that happened to me there.

Window Number 4.

Can I pay over there?

Hello ,

I'd like to release Jairo Diaz.

Doctors authorisation.

his medical insurance and his lD.

He doesn't have an lD.

How can I release him without an lD?

Fill out this form

so I can release him.

He looks like you.

Just a little more beat up.

What time did we say, bro?

Eight oclock, right?

Look what time it is.

Nelson. l had some family trouble.

With those guys from La Playa...

Are you concentrated or not?

We all have problems.

If you show up late every day.

its not gonna work out.

Did you bring the drawings?

these are the ones.

Now go sweep up.

See, I was with this guy

who was all in my face.

the police showed up

and arrested us.

they hauled us off

to some juvenile jail.

- Are you listening?

- Relax. I'm listening.

three days later,

there was a big storm at 3 am.

We jumped the wall and ran home.

Chaco, l wanted to talk to you.

Why don't you take off first

with Jairo?

What do you mean?

l can make enough

money at the barbershop

to catch up with you soon.

What are you talking about?

think its some kind of game?

You wouldn't even make it

to the dock on your own.

You dont know

the insides of a ship.

You have no idea.

But you've explained it all to me.

Don't you think?

Are you serious?

Get serious, man.

I'm no kid.

Remember our deal.

l know we have a deal.

but I'm not leaving without Jairo.

Youre just another liar. man.

Jairo ,what are you doing here?

l' m styling my friend

so she'll look pretty

for her boyfriend.

You ought to be at home.

Come on, let's go home.

I'm bored at home, bro.

I feel like a dog, all locked up.

Come with me,

I'll show you a great place.

Wanna co me?

OK, but then were going home.

Follow me, then.

You're just gonna leave me like this?

Cool, huh?

Imagine having this car at the beach.

We'd score with all the girls.

Not with this ugly car.

Remember the day we went fishing?

the weird fish

that screamed like girls?

- Remember?

- I sure do.

And I remember

the day I was fuming mad.

I jumped in the river

and started to swim across...

when this milk can

came floating.

I was hungry,

so I tried to grab it.

Mom started shouting:

Jairo

l was about to grab the can.

And she yelled Jairo, no!

And right when I got out.

the can blew up.

And all this foam stuff came out...

and I watched where it was floating.

Remember the river?

Let' s say this is the river...

and over here is our house.

the guys in boats

came down this way.

the paramilitariess got out here...

and this is where they killed Dad.

Look, a security guard.

It's that f***ing Roel!

Roel! You son of a b*tch!

Hes still moving.

Glad I Don't have to see

that a**hole anymore.
