everything...

...and thinking we have to pay

for all their vices.

I only asked for some change

You and your spawn

are a bunch of losers...

you act like you don't give a sh*t...

...but you would die to have

a little bit of power.

You know what? F*** you!

F*** you and all those like you...

...that walk in the parks talking to the benches,

smelling like sh*t...

and complaining about everything

Don't you dare to look into my eyes without

taking a bath first, you a**hole.

What? You don't believe me?

Are you going to believe ...

Enough, miss.

That was a lovely speech.

This is a respectable person

I've known him for long.

He doesn't look good, it's true

But he, as a citizen,

has the same rights as you

So no one here

will say who is guilty

Who saw what happened?

I did, I saw the man approaching

her, asking for a dime

...and the woman began

to beat him like a psycho!

Yes sir, I saw it too!

She beat him! He's a good man

He eats every day at home

and he always pray before meals

She went crazy!

Well, who can

declare as witness?

We can!

Get up sir, get up.

No, no. Leave me alone...

I only ask for dimes.

I am a devotee and what

else can I do? Turn the other cheek

Put that away, ma'am.

You should be ashamed.

What the hell

was I looking for?

She's completely crazy ... ..

Today is going

to be a weird day

Pardon me?

The solar eclipse and all that...

Today's eclipse

A total solar eclipse.

The night will fall

Today?

Yes, in an hour. It's so strange. And this spring

day in the middle of winter...

When did that ever happened? It's all because

of the global warming ...

I'm telling you, this world

is going crazy

Tell me about it, ma'am.

Tell me about it ...

Is this everything?

Yes

Nineteen with twenty cents

Keep the change ...

Good morning.

How are you doing?

Hello dear!

Hello ...

Hello

What? You came to visit someone?

No, no. I rent out an apartment here...

Oh... in which floor?

The fourth

Fourth B?

Yes, fourth B.

It has been unoccupied for a long time.

Everyone here is old.

I can't talk to anyone!

Yeah, right

How cute is your accent!

From what part of Spain are you, miss?

Barcelona.

Oh, how beautiful...

I'm also Spanish, from Cadiz.

Well, not me, my parents are from there.

They came after the civil war... Oh, the hunger

they went trough!

If you knew the stories I heard ...

Yeah, it's been a long time since that and Spain

is better now

With the crisis and such, but we are not nearly

as bad as you are

What was all that mess

in front of the supermarket?

I really don't know. They have treated me as if I

was crazy ...

I might be losing my mind a little bit...

And that nosy police officer interfered ...

Oh! Gabriel. He's a good boy. He was put there

after the thefts

They got burgled three times with shotguns ...

I told you, this world is going crazy ...

Recently, someone tried

to break into the apartments

I saw them, but they won't get into my house so

easy

No, dear. They are like cockroaches. When the

police gets here...

...they're gone. And they think I imagine those

things...

I told all these old folks, in all shades, ''close the

door...

...keep it locked''. They say yes, but then they

don't do it.

They forget, you know? Oxygen is not fed to

their brains

Listen, dear, if you come to live here, could you

help me with that?

Sure, I won't live here but I'll tell the tenant

Well, bye, dear. Oh and a pleasure to meet a

compatriot. Ol!

Er... I... closed because the place is a little bit

insecure.

Of course the client doesn't

need to know about it.

By the way, he called. He said he'll be here in a

half hour or so

She is Victoria, from the real estate.

Hello

Ms. Sanchez?

Did you brought the

contracts to review them?

I was nearby when Jorge called me. I came to

oversee

the transaction so that we were all satisfied.

Don't worry...

...contracts will be here

when our client arrives

I hope so... Well, we have time to drink a cup of

coffee, right?

Can I have my phone?

Will someone come to

supervise your part of the contract?

It won't be necessary, I'm a lawyer.

Something wrong?

No, no. Nothing

Weirdo...

Yes?

Marga...

Hi Ignacio, what's up?

Ferres is here ...

Look, I'm busy now

I'll be there in forty-five minutes or less...

What? are you not coming?

No, no. I said I'll go later ...

Marga, I think I don't need to tell you how

important this meeting is

Well, don't say it.

And what should I do?

Cover me, dammit. You know the terms of the

agreement

Yes, but I don't have your legs Marga...

Shave them ! Sh*t! Do something!

You know you are good at it...

I didn't liked that comment or Whatever you

meant by that

I work more than anyone in that office, that's

why I keep my job

I have to come here every year for two months

to supervise all of you

I can't tell if it's a reward or a punishment...

First, Marga, I had a horrible lunch with Ferres

at some place

that serves the Mediterranean food you love so

much. So please don't talk

...to me about gender equality now because

you'll make me sick

Second, as far as I know,

our supervisor is Joaquin

Next year, when I return to this filthy country

with a promotion

I don't want to hear

you begging for your life...

Third, Ferres is your client and your

commission ...

But we are on the same team, Ignacio ...

Are you going to do something or not?

Are you really not coming, Marga? What is

more important than this?

I'm going to kill a compatriot of yours.

Then I pay a bribe to set me free

That's how it works in your country, right?

Do whatever you want. If Joaquin finds out, I

won't take the blame

Just cover me

Ok, but I hope you consider treating me like a

special client sometime...

I'll pretent I didn't hear that...

Do you need something?

No, I could sworn ...

May I help you?

Yes please

Are you the manager of the agency?

No, I'm above Jorge.

Oh, you are a supervisor...

Kind of. We call my role ''driver''.

Does it work?

We're doing fine.

We are very organized and everyone is

incredibly...

...efficient in their role. It's a group that

complements perfectly

I'm very proud, I was in charge to recruit the

right people

Nowadays, we have a

dream team. Sugar?

No thanks... It's crucial

to rely on your teammates

I wish I could say the same but in my office they

don't know...

...what teamwork is. They all want to walk over

you.

Anyway, I don't understand

why your client is paying...

...so much for this. Is not worth it

Salva ... Mr. Salva, has

no money issues specifically

What he lacks of is time. We've been working

on this for weeks

If you knew how hard it is to please him, you'd

be surprised

But don't worry. I think this is exactly what he is

looking for

Yeah but I still don't get it. He can afford

something better

It's more or less what I pay for my apartment in

Barcelona

In Spain, not here

Jorge, your coffee is getting cold

Don't worry. He said he'll be
