At least they don't die

in my arms.

You think you're really tough?

I'm not afraid of you.

You should be.

Sabina's with Mom.

A whore?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you both think you are?

- She's not a whore...

- I'm not an idiot.

So what if she is a whore?

We have to prepare her.

If you scream again,

I'll tear your eyes out!

No! Don't kill me.

Please don't hurt me!

You can rape me.

You can both f*** me.

Do whatever you want to me.

Let me go.

So today's your lucky day?

Don't play dumb.

Think I didn't see

the finger in the jar?

The nutcases at the morgue

gave it to you, right?

You think they called you

so you could solve the case?

Think you're the first ones

those nuts called?

They called everyone before you.

You're just a fifth-rate cop.

And stop reading that file.

You look ridiculous.

Do you have any idea

what would happen

if we broke this case?

The money we'd make?

We'd even meet the President

in his fight against crime.

You have a lot of courage

to lead the family, no?

- It's just that...

- You shut up!

Do you want to go whoring

like Dad?

Then you have to take me

to your whores.

Meanwhile, we'll see

what our leader decides for us.

Is being without Dad

going to be like this?

I think so.

Where's Alfredo?

Stop!

I'm getting off!

Getting off!

Stop! I told you

I was getting off, you prick!

I was too hard on him.

It's not good for him

to be alone.

But now Alfredo

wants to make all the decisions.

As if it mattered right now.

He's trying to do

something for us.

To help.

Help!

You think

bringing whores home helps?

It's hard for him

that Dad isn't here.

He really loved him.

Alfredo isn't the only one

who loved him.

I loved him, too.

I have a lot more right

than he does.

You were always complaining

about Dad.

- As if you didn't love him.

- How can you say that?

It's true.

At least Alfredo does something.

Never say I don't do anything

for the family again!

Take out the whore's body!

You're paid for.

You always defended Alfredo,

ever since he was little.

You'd wrap yourselves

in the oilcloth

and get under the table

and say you were a taco.

Sabina would be left out.

You'd say:
You are the salsa.

And she'd cry

because she wanted to play.

But you'd say:

No, Sabina, you're the salsa.

We're monsters, Julian.

You wanted to f*** my sons?

This is what you get

if you mess with my family!

B*tches!

Sure this is it?

That's what the nut

from the morgue said.

All units.

XDF 911.

Acknowledge

if you're receiving.

And stop studying that file.

You look ridiculous.

I'll be right back.

Don't move.

These wolves

will gobble you up.

I don't care about life

I don't care

About its suffering

Those who have nothing

Don't even cry over love

They are happy

All the disappointments

Of a broken soul

Don't hurt or harm you

They make you stronger

Life is so thankless

It places you

It places you

On bitter paths

Of trouble

And suffering

But when the evening

Of our hard life comes

Our mother's voice

Is light, dear light

A long time ago,

I used to sing on this line...

to help pay for my son's school.

Now he has a university degree,

thanks to you.

To thank you in his name,

I bring you these messages.

May you find God

in the one I give you.

Here.

Maybe that is

what you're looking for.

"You are alive."

I left something inside.

Did you get something?

What are you doing?

I brought you Gustavo.

Are you crazy?

This is what we're going to do.

- You don't tell us what to do.

- Shut up, Julian.

I'm not eating a fag!

You'll eat what I tell you to!

Stop it! Stop it!

Who brought this guy?

I did.

From now on,

I decide what the family does.

Say that again!

From now on,

I decide what the family does.

- I'm going to decide...

- Shut up!

Why do you hate me so much?

Why have you always hated me?

Why do you always push me away?

Why did you make me like this?

I did nothing.

You were born that way.

That's not true!

What do you want

to kill these a**holes?

What are you waiting for?

If I solve this case,

I'll be promoted

and I can forget about

the sh*t on the streets.

You don't want money?

Look at this little morsel.

That's for politicians

or businessmen, no?

You're getting moralistic!

If you want us to follow you,

you must be right.

It's almost time.

We have to begin the ritual.

- Leave me alone.

- You okay?

Leave me alone.

Where's the f*ggot?

Officer,

they're hunting me down!

They want to eat me!

They have a white car...

All units, we have a 14

in progress.

All units,

we have a 14 in progress

in the project.

They caught your cannibals.

They're in the Bicentennial

project.

- Is the entrance on the avenue?

- Here, take a right!

HQ, this is unit 766...

We're going to solve this sh*t

on our own.

You're going to waste them,

aren't you?

To teach them a lesson.

Stop!

Easy now!

Put the weapon down, man.

You're kidding!

Drop the gun!

I'm police, damn it.

Careful, man!

Easy, easy!

F***!

What happened?

- A cop got in.

- What?

We have to flee.

No! We have to go on.

It's the only way to stop it.

We can't keep going,

Mom, we have to...

If we do the ritual,

everything will be alright.

Trust me.

Let's eat this one.

It's the only way to stop it.

- Mom.

- We're running out of time.

Look at me!

We have to go.

We can't do it now.

We can't do it now.

Come on!

We have to escape from the roof.

We have to get to the roof.

Come on!

We'll go across the roof.

Come on!

They're going to kill them.

Come on!

It's for the ritual.

Someone has to survive...

for the ritual!

No! Let her go!

Leave her alone!

All units report,

send paramedics.

We have one survivor.

"You are alive!"

"We Are What We Are"
