-Chill dude...

Grab him!

-Hold him tight.

-F*** him up!

Sh*t my hand. F***ing p*ssy!

There are blows in life...

...so great...

...l dont know!

Blows as if from

the hatred of God

As if before them, the backlash

of everything suffered...

...were to damn up the soul.

l dont know!

They are few, but they are

They open dark furrows

in the fiercest face...

...and in the strongest side.

Perhaps they could be

the horses of barbarous Attilas...

...or the black heralds

Death sends us.

There are blows in life so great.

...l dont know!

Lima, Sunday 6am.

Two weeks before.

Who is it?

No one.

Hello Santi, its your father.

lm sorry for having to

tell you like this...

Before your mother died, l...

...lm not sure how to say this.

Your mother left me

for being a failure.

l didnt realize this

until after she died.

Forgive me.

Youre a grown man now and...

...l know l have never

been a good father.

l guess what lm trying to say is...

...l want you to know,

that l love you son.

Forgive me for leaving

you by yourself.

l have to go now.

Forgive me.

Hey sir!

-Cmon Santi dont take so long.

-Yeah, yeah.. dont worry.

-Stop messing around...

-Mariana! No dont!

Hello? Yes, speaking...

ln the name of the Father, the Son,

the Holy Spirit, Amen.

may He be with your spirits.

-Pautrat? Santiago Pautrat?

-Thats me...

The Black Heralds

And with this track

from The Vagabonds

we have some spicy

news for you.

The police determined that the reason

for the recent suicide of the...

60s bands lead singer was

due to chronic depression and an...

...economic and personal trauma.

The 58 year-old lead singer,

Jean Pautrat,

lept off the Miraflores bridge...

...last Sunday the 12 of July

with that ending his life.

l dont know if you remember

but his wife of 10 years...

left him for a Spanish diplomat.

The towns gossip said that was

the cause of the groups breakup.

What a shame right?

He being so talented an all!

Hello Santi...Santi?

lts me Xime...

...l see youre not in...

...l just found out about

your dad and...

...lm so sorry...

...l still cant believe it...

l know it must be tough and all.

Everything here in New York

is fine but we really miss you.

ligo sends you a hug...

...and l a ton of kisses.

lll call you back soon. Bye.

Based on your file...

...your academic and

social performance...

...leaves a lot to

be desired Pautrat.

How can l justify

a scholarship for you...

...if you havent even paid

your academic insurance.

You come from over

four private schools...

...from which youve been expelled

from for bad conduct...

Here you have

been suspended three times...

...for physical aggression

against other students.

Please...

l really need your help right now...

...lm going through

very hard times...

...and yesterday l lost my job.

But according to your file,

you live with your father.

No, we no longer live together.

Why dont you look for

educational opportunities...

...in other institutions that are

more adjusted to your budget.

Maybe you werent born to

be an economist, Pautrat.

Hey leave a message

and lll call ya!

Answer the phone!

-Chips sir?

-No thanks!

Sir...only five soles

for this toy dog.

No...no thank you lm good.

Son of a b*tch!

Sir... How are you?

Sir can l have twenty soles

on ninety gas please.

Santiago! No! Leave him alone!

Stop being an animal!

You f***ing whore!

l tried calling you! Let go!

l tried calling you a hundred

times but you never answered.

So you start dating some a**hole?

Santi...are you there?

Pick up the phone...

...its me, Xime again. l dont know

if you got my message yesterday...

...well the thing is...

l mentioned to ligo that it

would be good to come see you...

...and he thought it was a great idea.

l know its a bit surprise but

well be arriving on Thursday!

And ligo says that

even though were just...

...brother and sister through marriage,

hes dying to meet you.

l also really wanna see you...

...how long has it been?

Five or six years?

times bring us together.
