in Buenos Aires?

Or rather, you're going to explain

why we can't pay him yet again?

How much is there

in the truck anyway?

Two and a half million, at least.

Did you see what just happened?

- You can't go with this guy...

- I'll go with whoever I have to.

Not with this guy.

With you,

as usual.

This is something we can do.

Come on, let's go.

- Does the girl know?

- No.

Keep it that way.

The less she knows, the better.

- What time is it?

- Midnight.

Let's get some sleep.

Open a cabin for me.

We'll go over the rest

of the details tomorrow.

Another 200 meters.

For f***'s sake.

If anybody left now, they'd hear.

And why would I go?

I thought they were going

to kill you.

So did I.

Is he coming back?

I already explained what happened.

- He got scared, and...

- No.

They don't know him, but I do.

He doesn't get scared.

And he never said anything

about a friend from Buenos Aires.

Why did you tell them that, then?

Is he coming back?

And if I said he wasn't?

Then none of this

would be necessary.

I wouldn't need the money

to get out of here.

And the money

is in the armoured truck.

Is he coming back?

He said he was.

After a while. He said he was.

Sunday

I didn't know you

knew each other.

Yes, we might go hunting.

Hunting...

That's why they're waiting for

my husband.

Yes.

- Are you going out?

- Why?

I'm going into town

and if you're not using the pick-up...

I can give you a lift

if you like.

There's no need. Anyway your

friends are waiting for you.

They're not my friends.

I can take you if you like.

Take a right here.

You're going to church.

- Why? Does that surprise you?

- No, it's just... I don't know.

I didn't think you were

a religious person.

And what does a religious

person look like?

Sorry, I didn't mean...

It's a place to go.

A place of my own.

- That's good. I'm sorry.

- No need to apologize.

Thanks for the lift.

I can make my own way back.

I can come and pick you up

if you like.

I've got something to do.

I can pick you up when I'm done.

All right. Whatever you like.

The key to the interior safe

is kept at the final destination.

The drivers cannot open it.

It floods sometimes. Takes a while,

and it'll start up again.

You just have to wait.

How did you end up here?

- That's odd.

- What?

You, starting a conversation.

How did I end up here or how did I end

up with a guy 30 years older than me?

Because that's what

they always ask me.

Dietrich was a friend

of my father's.

I had to get out.

And it seemed like the only way

to get away from home.

It wasn't very hard.

The day he came to get me,

my dad went mad and confronted him.

Dietrich beat him so badly,

it took him a week to recover.

And I left with him.

With the first punch, I realised

he was made of the same sh*t...

Nothing had changed.

But it was already too late by then.

Why don't you leave?

No.

I left once.

Dietrich came looking for me,

and he found me.

He'll find me. Always.

Who are you waiting for?

Nobody. Should I be

waiting for someone?

Don't play dumb.

What's going on?

Nothing. They're waiting for

Dietrich, to go hunting.

- We need to talk.

- Get off!

Piss off, will you?

Don't tell me what to do!

Go and f*** yourself!

- Where have you been?

- She asked me to...

We have to talk.

We have to sort things out.

- Yes, let's go to the...

- To the brothel.

And finish sorting things out.

Well?

The truck's going to

be there, out front.

- There, in full view?

- Yes.

Yeah, they don't give a sh*t.

The guards come out.

We're waiting for them.

They have no time to react.

We tie them up.

We take them over to the truck.

They open the back door...

With our faces uncovered?

Dietrich asked me to buy ski masks.

I've already got them.

They open the back door.

We go in, grab the money bags.

Put them in the truck.

Then we close the door,

load up the car,

and we're gone.

If we do it right, it won't take

more than a minute, 90 seconds.

Good, good.

- It's possible.

- What about the kid?

With his face covered,

he's another man.

- Do you have a gun?

- Yes, Dietrich gave me one.

Put it away.

And what are you going to do?

Where are you going to be?

In the casino. Making sure

the truck leaves on time.

With no back-up.

Right.

Far away from everything.

Why don't you stay in the cabin

playing cards with the girl?

All right, take it easy.

We'll take care of it.

He'll let us know

if there are any problems.

What problem could there possibly be?

He wants to stay out of it,

so that we don't realize

we don't need him.

There's something else.

The key to the door isn't enough.

The truck has an interior safe.

The guards can't open it,

even if they wanted to.

- We need another key.

- You're telling us now, a**hole?

Why didn't you tell us before?

Who's got that key?

I've got it.

Then we have everything we need.

I want that key later.

- Hand it over.

- I haven't got it on me.

Monday

- Julio, where are you going?

- Leave me alone.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Something I have to do.

Leave me alone.

- You're not going anywhere!

- Let go of me!

Dietrich isn't coming back.

Ever.

What happened?

Come with me.

- Where's Vega?

- Vega?

It's 8:
14.

Where's Vega?

- Vega can't make it.

- He can't make it?

What the f***

are you talking about?

It's all fine,

even if he doesn't come.

What do you mean,

"Even if he doesn't come"?

It's fine, I have the key.

He gave it to me.

Who gives a f*** about the key?!

If Vega isn't inside the truck,

who's going to open

the door from the inside?

The two guards will get out.

Nobody's left inside the truck.

It's a long weekend, you motherf***er!

Three days' worth!

They put three men in the truck!

There's a third man inside the truck,

and Dietrich knows that perfectly well.

It took me two months to get

them to take Vega on as a guard.

Two months' careful work to get

him inside the truck.

And now Vega isn't here and they're

putting in some dick that I don't know.

A new guy

who doesn't know anything.

Don't forget the third man.

Driver and two guards.

Crew:
3.

Dietrich didn't...

he didn't tell me...

You haven't got a clue.

Who are you?

Where did you come from?

- I've got to warn the others...

- It's over. I'm out.

I want nothing to do with this.

Nothing, do you hear me?

And if Dietrich tries to get me

involved, I swear I'll kill him.

Montero!

Son of a b*tch! It's your fault

you piece of sh*t!

Stop it! Leave him alone!

That sh*t f***ed us over.

Can't you see?

We still have the truck.

Let's sort this out first.

- What about that?

- It's nothing. I can hold on.

Open up, you son of a b*tch!

No, I won't open it!

Keep crying, f*ggot!

Wait until I get you out of there!

I'm hurt, motherf***er!

They're watching us.

Take that off!

He's locked the door

from the inside.

We need tools. It's an old truck,

it can be opened.

- We should get out of here.

- No sh*t, genius.
