Fernand did that to you?

Are they as bruised as you?

Sorry. Does it hurt?

Are you a doctor?

A nurse.

- Regulations forbid...

- Don't care. Just Want to know...

What happened?

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

Are you coming in or leaving?

Come in.

Excuse me.

When can see

Dom and Fernand again?

Do you know how this feels?

Last time,

they'd been transferred...

found out three Weeks later.

If it's the same thing now, tell me.

I'll pack up and move.

- Your goldfish isn't moving.

- He's old. He's 15.

- 15?

- Yeah.

It sounds a lot because...

you don't know...

But if you take good care of it,

a goldfish can live up to 20, 22.

He's the same age as my son.

Are you really a nurse?

Yes.

Why didn't you ever say so?

We never talked.

Work in the emergency room.

- Want some tea?

- No, thanks.

- It's iced tea.

- I'll be going.

- Alice.

- Yes?

If they behave...

mean, really behave...

you'll get a new visit

by the end of the Week.

Thank you.

Have to go now.

Where were you?

- What are you doing? Dinner's ready.

- I'm not hungry.

- OK?

- Where were you?

Where'd you go

after your tango class?

Nowhere. Just came home.

Need lunch money.

Are you following me?

Are you Watching me?

Why do you say that?

One jealous guy in the family

is enough, OK.

Good night. I'm going to bed.

- How's it going, pal?

- Hey, guys.

J.C.?

Coming.

Hi, boss.

What was that about?

What was What about?

When?

The other day, in the atrium.

With the Spaniard and the Albanian...

- He's Flemish.

- Right. What was it about?

Don't know.

You'd tell me if something was up?

Of course I'd tell you.

We're a team,

We're in this together.

Yeah, that's right.

- J.C.?

- Yeah?

The team is What counts.

Yeah, know it's What counts.

Come on, guys,

the animals are Waiting.

Well, girls... Happy?

Cut it out.

What the hell?

Stretch the other foot.

Now forward.

Like this.

There you go.

Cross in front of the other

and forward.

Feet together and back.

Cross and slide.

Change... and kick.

Make a big circle

and keep your balance.

Things swinging, you queers?

- You're really going to start dancing?

- Him. Not me.

Why not?

The exercise would do you good.

- Come on, Dom...

- Hey, Dom!

- What's "snail" in Flemish?

- Karakol.

Cargo/, just like in Catalan.

Crazy, huh?

Fernand's taking me to dance

in Buenos Aires when he gets out.

- Will you take me too?

- In 20 years.

He'll take you to Buenos Aires

and I'll get out in 20 years.

I'll be an old man.

Like old men.

Don't like old Women.

Your time's up

like grumpy old men, too.

Dom...

You take good care of your mother, OK.

Ciao, Antonio.

What are you doing?

Fernand...

Stop it!

Stop that...

Luc!

Time to go! J.C.!

Come on, everybody out now.

Get a move on.

Hurry UP!

Out!

Fernand!

Thanks.

Back to the cells, please.

The men danced together

because there were no Women around.

They practiced... for after.

To go to dances

to try and hook one.

- Imagine, seven men for one Woman!

- Watch the meat.

Crazy. Seven men, one Woman.

That's Wild.

They were practicing.

That's Why they did it.

That's the true origin

of the tango in Argentina.

This isn't Argentina.

OK, but it's still funny.

It's like us. We're doing it

to seduce a Woman too.

Those guys were hoodlums like us.

Us? Hoodlums?

Are you kidding?

We f***ed up big time.

We got 10 and 20.

Got 20 years. Killed a man!

- It was an accident.

- An accident?

Yeah, an accident.

Just an accident.

Want you to leave Alice be.

See this? Alice is my Wife.

She got married to me.

Alice is my Wife, OK.

The tango comes from inside,

deep down.

It's about temptation, seduction.

It's also the soul and the heart.

Suffering, anger.

Frailty.

Grace.

If you Want to learn the tango...

Do you fancy Alice?

No.

You don't fancy her?

Did you enjoy dancing with her?

Don't dance with her any more.

Don't dance with her any more.

Why not?

It's the earth and the blood.

The Tango...

is freedom!

OK, guys, let's go.

You OK?

- Out of your cage?

- Give it a rest.

I'm glad you're here.

Come on, you'll see.

You're gonna love it.

Ready to give it a shot?

Make me dance.

- You'll listen to me?

- Yeah.

Good. Your hands like this.

That's it...

Right from the beginning

you have to feel how the Weight...

You feel the Weight shift

from one side to the other?

Wrong...

With the arm...

hold him like a Woman?

With your arm on the other side.

You need to feel safe with me.

Have to lead.

And make you sway...

Here We go!

You feel how the Weight goes

from side to side?

Good.

Very good.

What's up, Dom?

Keep going. Just keep going.

What?

Keep going.

Sh*t, Dom...

- What?

- Just keep going.

You're Way too sensitive...

You're getting a boner.

Don't believe it!

Fernand! Cut it out!

You're something else.

That happened to me too.

A long time ago.

Like that... Unannounced.

When was a kid...

got on my brother's motorbike.

And just sitting on it...

- Sh*t, Dom...

- Shut the f*** up for once!

What's going on, Dom?

You feel me?

- Move.

- Feel my hard-on?

- Don't you come to lessons any more?

- No.

Because of me?

Don't dance Well enough for you?

You're too technical.

How can be less technical?

Stand up.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Slowly...

Stop that!

Dominic!

Dominic!

Sh*t!

Dominic!

Take off your shirt!

Tie it around his arm!

Sh*t...

Make it tighter. Tighter.

Go to the infirmary. Go!

Hey, Dom!

Hey, What's going on?

Hey, you! What's up?

- What's going on? Tell me.

- Come on.

Antonio, give me a hand!

Hold this.

Hope this Works.

Let's see.

Are you crazy?

Alice,

can have a Word with you?

- You Want to dance?

- No. Listen.

Dominic tried to kill himself.

He slashed his Wrists.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Mum!

Alice!

Are you OK?

What's that?

- Give me that gun!

- It's not yours. Yt's my dads.

So?

Antonio, open this door.

Open this door right now, you hear?

- What's this about?

- If it's my dads, it's mine.

What is this crap?

Gimme a break, will you?

Give it back

or I'll tell your father everything.

I'll tell him about you and the guard!

Come back here.

I'm sick of running after you!

I'll go.

If there's anything can do...

to help or Whatever...

Get out!

Come in.

Where did you put the gun?

Threw it in the canal.

Antonio.

Told you,

threw it in the canal.

Move over.

Go to see your dad.

Listen...

Wanted to tell you something

about Dominic.
