What are you doing, you idiot?

-Doggy, drop it!

-Let's go!

You don't have the balls for a real one.

Doggy, drop it!

Doggy!

On your knees.

Okay, alright.

Doggy, enough!

Bark!

-Doggy!

-Doggy, take it easy!

Bark!

What are you doing?

That's right, wag that tail.

F***!

Good evening.

Those kids of yours really f***ed up.

I didn't send them.

-What do you call that?

-Betrayal, boss.

It's called betrayal, Chucho!

And on opening night, just to get to me.

Let him go.

Whether you believe me or not,

I had nothing to do with it.

Let's say I believe you.

Tell me something...

those opera-loving kids work for you,

don't they?

Do they or don't they?

Yes.

Alright then, let's do this the right way.

You work for me...

so leave them to me.

Give them to me!

You can have the leader.

What will you do with them?

Teach him some respect.

What he did is not acceptable.

Chucho!

What happened?

What have you done?

Here's your cut.

A fourth.

I thought you were different.

I thought you could learn.

You're a piece of sh*t.

Just like that crazy kid you run with.

You used a gun?

I thought you'd be pleased.

Happy about what? About this?

This?

I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't mean sh*t, understand?

Get out of here.

If I ever see you again...

if one of my cameras sees you again...

I'll put you in jail.

Get out!

Please leave a message after the tone...

Doggy, where are you?

I'm looking all over for you.

Call me, okay?

Let me go!

Help!

What is this?

You could've called, Jaime.

I would've come.

Have you heard from Doggy?

Call him.

I bet you really miss him...

What happened to him?

Your friend had some trouble.

Your boss set him up.

I said let me go!

Give me my phone!

Chucho, we got the kid.

F***ing rat!

Chucho?

Chucho, that's the guy.

The guy you love so much.

He served them Doggy on a silver platter.

Everybody ends up working for the cops.

At least I don't try to hide it.

But if you want, I'll help you out.

Tell me what to do.

Will you be quiet all night

or say something?

Thanks for coming.

It's going to rain.

I need your help.

I thought it was just an excuse

to come and see me.

That too...

but Doggy is in trouble

and I have to help him.

I thought you were mad at Doggy too.

I am, Juana, but he's my best friend.

I know he's our friend...

but he's a friend

we don't need, Fresh.

Juana, if it was me, he would help me,

and you too if you needed it.

Alright.

I'll help.

Really?

Yes.

Thanks.

This Saturday is the last day

of the championship.

So there won't be anymore fights

for a long time.

This place will be packed.

Gamblers, bird owners, runners,

betters, drunks, women.

The police are responsible

for keeping the peace in this zoo.

Sometimes they play...

sometimes they lose...

but they always go home winners.

They always get their cut from somewhere.

What happens down here

is no mystery to anyone.

One of the three little pigs

drops the bacon.

The biggest pig hands him

the keys to the car.

How is it?

The three little pigs take the money

and stick it inside the trunk.

You'll have four hours before

it all begins.

And two hours while the fights last.

That's when they hand over the money.

Bring us the bag and we'll give you Doggy.

If you don't...

Doggy goes back to the pound.

Remember, I have a lot of friends here

that keep me informed.

So watch out.

Go now.

Fresh.

Come home!

I miss you.

Go back to sleep, Petey.

I can't sleep.

Read me a book?

Go on back to sleep.

That's it, go get him!

Excuse me. Thank you. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Rooster!

Hey!

Is that your bird?

His name is Colorado.

It's my first time here.

I hadn't seen you before.

Yes. That's why.

Have a drink.

Okay.

-How are you, Edgar?

-Fine.

-How's the betting?

-Just great...

-55 lines, good spurs...

-55...

-What was his name?

-Colorado.

And yours?

Rico.

Rico? Nice to meet you.

And yours?

Juana.

Have another one.

I'll be right back, okay?

Come on!

Hang on, I'll be back.

Wait!

Place your bets!

Pay up over here.

Huh.

I got another complaint about you,

Chucho

Apparently...

that kid you gave me

isn't the leader of the gang.

The boss is the other one.

Why do you lie to me?

People tell me everything.

The black kid is the gangster.

The other kid is not worth sh*t.

Besides, he's off the streets for good.

You think I'm stupid?

You know what your problem is?

No matter how long you're in Colombia,

everybody knows you're Spanish

and a liar, a cheater.

And everybody comes to tell me.

Are you here to bet?

The next bird is yours, right?

Let's make a deal...

if your bird wins, I'll believe

everything you say

and we'll still be partners.

If your bird loses,

our partnership is over.

Hmm?

Ugh.

The bastard is everywhere.

There you go, partner.

See you around, partner.

No!

Juana, did you see where he put the keys?

In his front pocket!

Okay, let's do this.

But it has to be a very good plan.

The best possible distraction.

Okay.

Relax.

Let's go!

What are you doing here? Go!

-I have to give you your money.

-What money?

I don't want money, Fresh, go on!

Juana, it's yours...

It's not mine!

I don't need it!

You earned it, it's yours.

Now go!

I have to see you again.

I have good news for you.

You got it?

Give me Doggy first.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey!

Here...

buy yourself some candy.

Let's go.

Coffee?

-Thanks.

-Thanks.

Well...

at least we got something

out of them, right?

What are you doing?

Are you crazy or what?

Relax, come on.

Look.

Remember that forger?

Look for the earring.

I took all the money I had...

and I bought a bunch of fake bills.

I switched keys with Chucho.

And I stole the money from Rico's car.

Then, I switched the money

and I gave Jaime the fake money

so he'd let you go.

Okay.

You're a f***ing genius!

You always were!

Whatever.

Hand me the backpack.

This is for you.

Doggy, you're a fugitive.

And we just scammed Jaime.

We have to get lost for a while.

And like Juana said,

"Time to smoke marijuana!"

Take care of yourself.

Chucho, here's your cut.

I'm paying back my debt to you.

I have to disappear

and become the invisible man

you taught me to be.

Take the money

and get out of this country.

Fresh.
