We Are What We Are

Get away!

"We Are What We Are"

Mom's looking for you.

Your father hasn't come home.

You're going to have to open up.

What are you waiting for?

What about Sabina?

Sabina will stay here

and fix the clocks.

Cut it out!

Is my watch ready?

Good morning,

could you tell me...

Don't tell me you don't have it!

Your father promised it to me

three weeks ago.

Could you tell me

which one's yours?

It's a gold Mido.

What are you laughing at, punk?

Julian!

Sabina!

Sabina!

That's the second time, kiddo.

Where's your old man?

He owes me for weeks.

You're way behind!

He won't be long.

No, I think you'd better

take your sh*t and go!

Come on, a**hole!

Go for it!

Pack up your sh*t

or I'll throw it out!

Now what?

"Now what?"

What do you mean?

What are we going to tell Mom?

The truth. They kicked us out

because Dad didn't pay the bill.

No, they kicked us out

because you're always fighting!

Don't defend him.

They kicked us out

because he didn't pay.

It was your fault.

They kicked us out because

Dad spends all day with whores.

What are you doing here?

What happened, Alfredo?

We got kicked out of the market.

What?

They changed managers.

Someone else is fixing watches.

Julian come here!

- Now what?

- What happened?

- I told you, Mom.

- I'm not asking you!

The damn woman went berserk!

What did you do?

Nothing, we were working

and she kicked us out.

- Right! Just like that!

- Yes, just like that.

The only job your father can do

and you blow it!

We didn't do anything.

Do you think I'm dumb or what?

Who took my key

from the flower pot?

They told me

someone died at the mall...

The man who looked

at the mannequins.

Dad's dead!

Damn his addiction to whores!

Those b*tches killed him!

B*tches!

What are we going to do?

Are we going to carry on?

- We have to go on as usual.

- We can't go on without Dad.

Don't talk bullshit!

We have to, Alfredo.

We have to get

something for tomorrow.

What are we supposed to do?

Mom locked herself up

in her room.

Dad is lost.

Dead.

Dad is dead.

- How do you know?

- Didn't you hear what I said?

It could be anyone.

Did they confirm it?

- Who?

- The people from the mall.

Who are they?

How do you know them?

You're out of it.

Remember who you're talking to.

It can't be.

We have to wait for him.

No, he'd have been home by now.

You act like you're glad.

- Shut up, a**hole!

- You shut up, you stupid sh*t!

There's nothing.

You'd better find something.

From now on, it's up to you.

Mom...

Are you ok?

What shall we do?

Mom?

Whatever happens,

we have to get something.

We have to go now.

We've never done it

in the daylight.

It can't be that hard

if he did it.

Don't talk about Dad like that!

- Shut up, f*ggot!

- Stop it.

Let's go to the corner.

- Mom won't like that.

- It's the easiest.

No. Too risky.

Why not go to the bridge?

We have to get something

by tomorrow.

Then we can figure out

what to do.

What are you waiting for?

You're the one who has to do it.

Damn, Tito!

Over the years,

you've become a master!

Yeah, my technique's improved.

Look,

I'm giving him texture, color,

covering up the scar...

You have to...

you know?

You have to be a f***ing artist.

But don't put too much effort

into this one.

We're cremating him.

What?

F***! Why didn't you tell me?

I wouldn't have

made the a**hole up so nice.

God rest his soul!

Nobody respects my work

around here.

Why didn't you tell me?

You...

Why didn't you tell me?

Why did you send for us?

I thought

this would interest you.

What?

A cold one?

Not a cold one.

This guy came in from a mall.

He died of poisoning.

I did a spectacular job on him.

First-rate job.

Don't you think?

I performed an autopsy

and found something

very interesting.

You've no idea how many people

come in here chewed up.

It's shocking how many people

eat each other in this city.

In the reports

they blame the rats.

But it's the two-legged kind.

"One night, a city rat..."

Well, this old man isn't going

to be eating anyone else.

What good is he to us?

You could investigate

who he ate.

We don't solve old cases.

What's more,

we don't solve new ones either.

But this case will make us

famous, make us rich!

Us?

Sounds like a crowd to me.

But thanks for the trinket.

All these a**holes are the same.

They just go on forever.

- Wait.

- What?

We have to do something

or we're screwed.

Wait until it's quieter.

No, we can't wait.

You know what happens

if we don't have someone

by tomorrow?

Julian!

- Help!

- Julian!

Let's go! Let's go!

Get him! Get him!

What happened?

It's Mom.

What did you do?

We went to get someone.

What?

Are you idiots?

Your father dies

and you go out hunting?

You put the family at risk,

Alfredo.

We did it for the ritual.

The ritual?

What do you know

about the ritual?

If you knew so much,

you'd know what comes next.

We have to pick a leader.

That's next.

Next we start shaking,

because we're going to die.

Do you know what Mom meant?

We have to get something

for tomorrow.

You're the oldest, Alfredo.

You must take Dad's place.

And if I don't want to?

It's not about wanting.

You're the most capable...

the most sensitive...

the most balanced.

I couldn't even catch a kid.

According to what Dad taught us,

you're the next one.

You have to keep

the ritual going

and lead the family.

I can't.

You have to, Alfredo.

Mom loses her temper.

- She puts us at risk.

- Mom always knows what to do.

Yeah?

She's still locked in her room.

We're in real trouble

and she does nothing.

Just scolds you all the time.

Alfredo, look at me.

Look at me!

No matter what,

we have to continue.

And what should I do?

Julian would be better.

Julian's clumsy and violent.

Cheat,

deceive people.

I can't be the leader,

but I can help you.

- Hunt down a whore.

- What?

You know Mom hates that.

- It's forbidden.

- Forbidden?

Dad used to do it, didn't he?

Mom can't forbid us anything.

Now you're the leader.

Get a whore.

We'll dress her in my clothes

to fool Mom.

Well?

Tell Julian to come.

What's up?

Sabina says to go...

From now on,

you're going to obey Alfredo.

You'll get to eat

a whore bite by bite...

Just like Dad.

Let's get a whore.

What?

Not afraid of Mom anymore?

No.

We must get someone by tomorrow.

Looking for me?

- Who else?

- Yeah?

- What's the deal?

- Let's go, ok?

Let's go.

No way, honey.

That's more expensive.

When has money been a problem?

It's no problem for you,

you're loaded.

So let's go.

No, let me go.

Let me go.

Don't be an a**hole!

Let me go!

Julian, what are you doing?

Hurry up!

Come on.

Leave her!

Let's go, Julian!

Shut her up!

You're such a loser!

What should I do?

Kill her?

Calm down, Julian!

Cool it!

- What's wrong with you, Julian?

- What do you mean?

What do I mean?

There's a whore in the trunk!

I'm getting food for tomorrow.

Food?

You beat the sh*t out of her

in front of everyone.
