MURIEL: Central, here's Sosa.
Over.
DISPATCHER: Copy Sosa.
Over.
MURIEL: I'm in location.
Please report homicides.
That is not the place.
I'm in a big house
in Villa Urquiza.
Over.
DISPATCHER: Sosa,
I don't understand.
Our informant gave us
the location Lugano.
Do I inform that this
location is incorrect, then?
Over.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[CLICK]
MURIEL: Affirmative.
I found Vigna.
He has died.
Over.
DISPATCHER: Please repeat.
Over.
MURIEL: I found him.
He has died, Vigna.
And there are two
more unknown victims.
The address is Rivera 5076.
Over and out.
DISPATCHER: OK, I'll
ask for a mobile.
Over and out.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[FOOTSTEPS]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Can I talk?
[SIGHS]
Well, justice was served.
No?
Gentlemen, Sosa
found Vigna dead.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
The son of a bitch deserved it.
I can also say that
I gave it to him.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): It's good.
A promotion to
first-degree detective.
That's 550 grand per month.
You can also buy the 90-inch TV.
Change the bathroom door
that is falling apart.
Order imported lingerie that you
were looking at on Instagram.
The new Nike's, all at once.
No installments huh.
One payment.
One payment, bitch.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
And in addition to promotion,
a medal will be perfect.
In the line of duty, this
is how they achieve them.
All those motherfuckers
of duty, my ass.
He's still cool.
You shoot him four
times in the chest,
and the corner's not
going to notice whether it
was before or after death.
He was injured, but he
woke up and attacked me.
Because of the shock, I shot
him four times in the chest.
And that's it.
No, make it three.
Three's very good.
Reflex action, I
put in the report.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Well,
let's go with three.
[THUD]
[GUNSHOT]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What a fool.
The fucking shit.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): What a fool.
Oh, shit.
Holy fucking shit.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): You
fucking piece of shit.
You screwed up.
Get out of here now.
New documents.
And to Paraguay with the money
you have under the mattress.
That money's not enough.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): To kill an
innocent person, you go to jail.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
You can say that Vigna stole the
gun from you and shot the guy.
If I say he stole my gun,
I will look like an idiot.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Yes, but
better an idiot than in jail.
The promotion doesn't matter
anymore, it's already gone.
Forget about the
Nike's, the new door
from the bathroom, the
panties on Instagram, OK?
That's it, that's it.
It's over.
I want the promotion.
[SIGHS]
You're tough, huh.
You fucking piece of shit.
You better be fucking
dead, you fucking cunt.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): I got it.
You take the bullet
out of his head.
Without the bullet,
there are no clues.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
The coroner is going to
notice that you shot him
with the service weapon by
the side of the circumference.
You coroner, son of a bitch.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): What if
you take the bullet out of him,
and you enlarge
the circumference
with another weapon.
You say then you shot him.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
But I have to hit the
shot in the same place.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Do you
have a better plan, then?
No, but I have to shoot
him from a distance.
Because if not, the coroner
is going to realize that.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): You
coroner, son of a bitch.
He's going to realize that
I shot him at close range.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Son of a bitch.
Unless I...
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): What?
I soil your whole crime scene.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Oh, yes.
I soiled it completely.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Yes, super soiled.
I got into a fight with Vigna.
It was a fight to death,
and I had to shoot him.
That's it.
There's no more time.
[GUNSHOTS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Weren't they three shots?
The damage is
already done, you know.
[THUD]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): You were
entering the crime scene...
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GROANS]
When the guy grabs
you from behind.
Super heavy, the motherfucker.
You both fell to the ground.
It was hand-to-hand fight.
Hard, violent.
He grabbed you from the hair.
He wanted to slam your
face against the floor.
You resisted like a
lioness as against a beast.
Until he pulled out his bear
claw and he scratched your face.
[GROANS]
MURIEL: Son of a bitch.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Son of a bitch.
And shot him.
I shot him.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Now it's his turn.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Oh, this idiot.
How annoying.
It's not that difficult.

There it goes, there it goes.

OK, over.
DISPATCHER: Support
patrol on the way.

No no no.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Cancel it, cancel it.
OK.
And, how do I do it, Smart?
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Send them to
another direction or something.
Damn it.
Shut up, you son of a bitch.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Say something.
DISPATCHER: Sosa, do you copy.
Over.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
MURIEL: Central.
Copy, yeah.
How long until this nation?
Over.
DISPATCHER: Five minutes.
Over.
[SIGHS]
OK, understood.
Over and out.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Don't
worry, we have five.
I shut my mouth.
I don't bother you.
Come on, come on, come on.

MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Bless you.

Oh Jesus fucking Christ.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
OK, take it easy.
Calm down while
let's not waste time.
Come on, let's go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
There it is.
There you have it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Congratulations,

[PHONE BUZZING]
MURIEL: Oh, Rambo.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Oh, I can't believe it.
He's so hot.
Pick up the phone.
Just now?
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Pick it up.
I'm telling you.
[PHONE VIBRATES]
It's not the moment.
Now it's not the moment.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Are you kidding me?
How long have you been
waiting for him to call?
You bit your lip for a month
to look like you didn't care
so you don't seem desperate.
And now you're not going
to pick up the phone.
And it's a terrible
moment, you know?
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Oh, well, well,
then don't cry when you feel
lonely in summer nights,
or when you want to be warm in
winter time, or when you're hot
and there's no other option but
the first one who matches you
on Tinder?
Well, enough, that
I get depressed.
Rambo?
RAMBO (ON PHONE): Hi, gorgeous.
Hi, Rambo.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): I'm
here alone in the armory,
cleaning the barrel
of a nine millimeter.
And when I was lubricating her
with WD-40, I remembered you.
What are you wearing?
A leather jacket.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): Leather.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
I'm getting wet.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): Are
you wearing heels?
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): No.
No.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Black boots.
Black boots.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): You bitch.
The tight pants will
attach to your bra?
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Come on.
Put some feeling into it.
You act like a frigid nun.
Give him the password of
chastity belt. My God.
Let me speak.
I warned you that your
voice comes out of my mouth,
so go fuck yourself.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): OK.
God.
RAMBO (ON PHONE):
Are you on duty?
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
Affirmative.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): Affirmative.
You want to drive me crazy?
Oh, it turns me on
that you're on duty.
How it turns me on
that you're on duty.
Listen, do you have the
Victoria's Secret panties
on that I gave to you?
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
Yeah.
Yeah.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): The one
I brought you from Miami?
Yeah, that one, just...
RAMBO (ON PHONE):
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): This
guy is really trying hard.
I don't know why he
keeps calling you
because you're so boring.
RAMBO (ON PHONE): Oh!
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Oops, the police mobile.
Well, that's enough.
Forget about this jerk.
[SIREN BLARING]
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
MAN (ON RADIO): Zosa,
mobile is in the area.
Over.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Don't listen to him.
Concentrate.
[SIREN BLARING]
MAN (ON RADIO):
Zosa, do you copy?
You shot him from the ground,
and I shot you four times.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
All right, aim.
How did you do it?
Try to hit the same hole again.
Come on, yeah.
MAN (ON RADIO): Central to Zosa.
Central to Zosa.
Do you copy?
JUANA: Get your aim right.
Take it easy.
Get your aim right.
MAN (ON RADIO):
Zosa, please confirm.
Over.
[SIREN BLARING]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Calm down.
Take it easy.
Let's be calm.
We cannot fail.
Repeat, you are what you think.
You live what you dream.
MAN (ON RADIO):
Zosa, please confirm.
Over.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Focus.
We cannot fail.
We cannot fail.
We cannot fail.
[SIREN BLARING]
We cannot fail.
[GUNSHOT]
Fuck that.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Come on, hit him.
That you're going
to hear the shots.
From the patrol car with the
siren, they don't hear shit.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): The
neighbors are going to listen.
I don't care
about the neighbors.
Let me shoot him!
[GUNSHOT]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Well, at
least we're getting better.
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
Sorry to ask you this
question at that time,
but what's your score
at target shooting?
Six out of 10?
It's five.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Oof.
OK, the Nike's in one payment.
The Nike's in one payment.
The Nike's in one payment.
Oof.
Now we're really screwed up.
What do we do now?
What are we going to do?
We'll see later.
How, we'll see later?
I can't take it anymore.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't take it anymore.
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
Are you kidding me?
Oh, fuck me.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Are you kidding me?
Oh, no.
What a fool.
What a hassle.
Jesus.
I'm trapped in the
body of a jerk.
And now what are
you going to do?
Well, now you will see.

MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Well, listen to me.
Listen to me.
It's your last chance.
You're going to grab
your gun, that we still
have bullets in it,
and you're going
to shut all your teammates.
When they come in, you're
going to gun everybody down.
None of them will be left alive.
Did you hear me?

WOMAN (ON TV): There
was a breakthrough...
[CAT SCREECHES]
But what virus there?
According to
specialists, the effects
of the drug on
the nervous system
are rapid and can cause
instant addiction.
Let's take a look at
some heartbreaking images
of this phenomenon.
[TV CHATTER]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
As this friction grows,
families across the country
are pleading for answers,
for a solution, a cure.
Many feel abandoned
by the medical...
[RATTLING]
Athena?
WOMAN (ON TV): of this
spreading catastrophe.
Meanwhile, the number of
infected continues to rise,
with each day bringing more
heartbreak, more uncertainty,
and fewer options for survival.
[CAT MEOWING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
No more.
Let's try that again.
[GROANS]
JUANA: Peter.
Peter.
Peter.
Peter, get up.
Peter, wake up.
Peter, Peter, get up.
PETER: Huh?
JUANA: Get up.
PETER: What's going on?
There's something
in the kitchen, a rat.
There's a rat in the kitchen.
What, mom?
JUANA: I'm telling you, a rat.
A rat.
Peter.
NATALIA: How?
Where?
JUANA: I don't know,
but it came in there.
I think it went that direction.
Oh, come on, Peter.
Come on.
Oh, Natty, please wake him up.
We have to get it out.
Peter.
JUANA: Come on, Peter.
What's the matter?
NATALIA: Come on, wake up.
Ugh.
What's going on?
Did I fell asleep?
Come on, Peter.
[SIGHS]
I said, get up!
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
There it was, among those boxes.
How do you figure?
Well, because I
heard a noise before.
And then the cat was
looking that way.
And where did the cat go, huh?
JUANA: What do I know?
She was here, and she was
looking in that direction.
Could she have gotten in there?
JUANA: I don't know.
Athena?
[KISSING] Athena?
Careful.
Careful.
If the rat's there, stay.
I'm not going out, Mom.
[SIGHS] Do something, please.
Me?
NATALIA: Kill it.
You want me to kill a rat?
I don't kill a
cockroach, but you
want me to kill a goddamn rat?
But you have to get it out.
We can't live with a
rabid creature here.
Did you see it, Juana?
No, I didn't, but I did hear it.
But you speak as
if you've seen it.
Well, then, what else
would she be looking at?
She never does that.
She always sleeps
with me, you know.
How did a rat get in here?
I don't understand.
Well, through the terrace.
They go wherever they want.
They walk on wires.
They are tightrope walkers.
When I was young...
Mom, please stop.
You've told that story a
thousand times already.
We're trying to figure
something else out.
Well, but I'm going
to tell it again.
When I was young, a horrible
rat fell of a huge tree.
Right on top of
my head, she fell.
You don't know how dreadful that
was, the rat, full of diseases.
Goddamn it.
I'm going to freak
out if there's a rat.
We don't know if there's a rat.
I'll die.
If there's a rat, I'll die.
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
What do we do?
First of all, let's
calm down a bit, OK?
If it's a rat, it's a small
animal and we must be scared.
We have the high ground.
We're like huge
monsters to a rat.
And second, we don't
know if it's a rat.
And what was she
looking at then?
How the hell do I know
what the cat was looking at?
Hey, don't yell at me.
Don't yell at mom.
OK, hey, listen, what I think is
that maybe, sleeping, you
confuse reality with a dream
or heard a noise outside,
a bag that was passing by,
a car, a pedestrian,
a branch that broke,
the wind, the wind or
the ghost, taka, taka,
a thousand different
things other than a rat.
I tell you, it
wasn't the kitchen.
It came in here and
then it went out.
That's why the cat
looked that way.
It's rare for a rat
to get close to a cat.
[FAINT SIREN]
Huh, how smart you are.
[SIGHS] What time is it?
It's going to be 5:30.
Fuck me.
I get up in two hours.
Ugh, tomorrow, I'm
going to be a zombie.
Please come.
Stay here, Mom.
[SIGHS] Listen to me, your
mother hears a noise and thinks
it's a rat.
But do you remember when
you bought all those traps
and put them everywhere?
She has a thing for rats, OK?
You know this better than me.
You've been dealing with
this since you were born.
Well, why did we bring
the freaking cat?
In case a rat came.
She wanted a cat, so
we brought the cat.
That's that.
Let's deflate the situation.
Let's go to sleep.
Tomorrow, we'll see.
But if there's a rat, I'm
going to freak out, Peter.
I won't be able
to sleep anymore.
Well, if you don't
want to go to sleep,
then don't go to sleep.
But I need to rest because,
tomorrow, I'm in for 10 long.
Not tomorrow,
today, in two hours.
I spend 10 hours
working, lifting crates.
I cut in the middle
for a little sandwich,
and I continue lifting crates.
And you're going to leave
us like this, all alone
and awake with a rat?
You're so melodramatic.
For God's sakes.
What rat?
We didn't see any rat.
Calm down.
Go to sleep, please.
What time did you
arrive last night?
What time did you arrive?
Because I didn't hear you.
We finished playing.
We had a beer.
1:15.
[SCOFFS]
I guess.
Sure, yeah.
Then you say you
don't sleep enough.
Screw you.
Sure, whatever, Natalia.
You look like a kid and
you go play soccer at 40.
You're right.
What's wrong with your leg?
I just got kicked a little.
What a stupid prick.
PETER: I'm going to take a
piss, in case you want to know.
[SIGHS]
What the fuck's
wrong with you, Caco?
JUANA: These creatures
are horrendous
because you know that,
when they bite you,
they infect you with any plague.
I won't be able to
sleep anymore because I
have an issue with rats.
I don't...
Please stop, Mom.
Hold on.
Don't speak anymore.
Let's see if we hear something.
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
JUANA: Wait, Natty.
NATALIA: Shh.
Where are you going?
Let Peter go.
Can you stop, Mom?
Didn't we have rat traps?
What did you do with the traps?
I threw them away
when we got Athena.
I was afraid she
would get trapped.
What if she smells it and, bam?
What if the trap breaks
her face, cuts off her leg?
Poison?
Didn't we have rat poison?
We never had any.
Yes, mom.
That little bug thing
where the rats get stuck?
What are you saying?
That's for cockroaches.
These rats are enormous.
They weigh about five kilos.
They're not going to get
stuck in a box like that.
Five kilos?
Yes, they're enormous.
They're bigger than Athena.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What if the rat is eating
my little sweet love?
What if the rat is eating
my little sweet love?
Natty, where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Don't leave me alone.
I know, cheese.
Do you have cheese?
Yes.
Very well.
First, you put
cheese on the floor.
Be quiet for a moment,
turn off the lights,
and we'll see if it comes out.
[SIGHS]
MAN 3 (ON PHONE):
He called me, like,
at 1:00 AM and told me
that he felt like shit.
His fever rose, and it seems
like he's going to the emergency
room with his wife.
I don't know.
He doesn't answer my texts,
so let's hope he gets better.
Looks like the dumb-ass had
something that broke him.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
MAN 4 (ON PHONE):
No, I don't think so.
He was fine at the barbecue.
Caco was already in bad
shape from his house.
He sucked at the game.
And on top of
that, he was angry.
Hey, Peter, how are you?
How's your leg?
Hey, guys.
My leg's all busted up.
I'm crapping!
I'm not going in.
Do you remember there
was a cell phone
app to keep mosquitoes away?
Yeah, what's up with that?
Well, and there was another
one for scaring rats away
that caught our attention.
I don't remember, Natty.
I don't know.
Hadn't you downloaded
it on your phone?
Why would I download
that on my phone?
I told you to download it.
It was important.
I don't know, Natty.
I don't think so.
Do you have your
cell phone in there?
Yeah.
NATALIA: Look, please.
I didn't download it, Natalia.
Are you moron?
I told you to download it.
It was important.
My cell phone is
exploding with apps!
I take a picture, the
whole system crashes!
And I'm going to
download that stupidity?
For God's sakes, woman.
NATALIA: Bullshit that
we could use right now.
Forget it.
I'll download it myself.
[BANGING]
And don't yell at me.
Tone it down.
JUANA: There's no cheese.
There's tuna fish.
Do rats eat tuna fish?
NATALIA: Where the hell
is my fucking phone?
[SIGHS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GROANS] This thing
stings like a motherfucker.
JUANA: Natty, come here.
I heard a noise.
I'm coming, Mom.
JUANA: It's a loud noise.
I'm not loony.
It is a rat.
I am sure.
I'm coming now, mom.
[KNOCKS] Peter, are you OK?
[KNOCKS] Peter, there's
blood on the sheets.
Are you OK?
JUANA: [SIGHS]
NATALIA: Peter,
what's the matter?
Close the fucking door,
but then your mother
comes in through the cracks.
Just a little intimacy,
that's all I want.
Yeah, but we never have it.
And we're never going
to have it because you
don't set any limits at all.
Can you answer me, please?
I'm fine, Natty.
Fine.
I'm fine?
Look at that mess.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
It's just a
scratch, just nothing.
It's nothing.
Just a scratch?
Really?
There's a liter of
blood there, Peter.
What the fuck is it?
A liter of blood.
You're more exaggerate...
Did you hurt yourself?
No, Natalia.
Just relax.
Where are my trousers, the
one with the white stripes?
I hang it out to dry.
JUANA: Fantastic.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
911 OPERATOR (ON PHONE): 911.
Good evening.
Hi.
911 OPERATOR (ON PHONE):
Yes, this is 911.
Is this the police?
911 OPERATOR (ON PHONE):
Yes, you need the police?
Listen to me.
I need you to come here.
Come here to help me, please,
because... because there's
a rat in here.
What the fuck is this?
NATALIA: My cell phone.
[SIGHING]
You have a fever, Peter.
Natty, I'll say this as lovingly
as I can, can you stop
busting my balls, please?
Can you do that, huh?
Did Jorgelina send you a text?
Did you check?
I didn't see it.
Well, check then.
Now, there is a beautiful
activity for you to do instead
of breaking my balls since
5:00 AM this morning.
Enough with the yelling!
[SIGHS]
What are you doing?
Take off your pants first
before putting these on.
What's wrong with your leg?
[GROANS]
Oh.
[GROANS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What happened to you, Peter?
Did it bite you?
What happened?
I was bitten by Caco.
NATALIA: Caco?
Did Caco bite you?
Yeah.
Who is Caco?
Caco, Suzanna's husband, the one
who lives next to the dentist.
The one who won the
hot dog contest.
The one who plays paddle,
who has the mustache,
passes by every day.
Caco, the one with the hat.
What do you mean, Caco bit you?
I don't know.
The asshole went crazy.
We were playing, and they
started arguing about a goal,
that it was, that it wasn't,
that it wasn't, that it was.
I don't know.
In reality, Valentina was
offside, so it didn't count.
And there has always
been trouble between them
because, in high school, they
went out with the same girl.
One is a River fan.
The other's a Boca fan.
And Valentina was playing.
Oh my God, it was beautiful
to watch, Boccini with hair.
Peter, I don't give a
fuck what you're telling me.
Tell me, how the fuck
were you bitten by Caco?
I'm explaining the context
because then you say, I don't
understand what you're saying.
So then I'm...
Summarize.
OK, OK, we were there arguing.
And all of a sudden, I see
Caco coming straight at me.
He's delirious, his eyes.
I don't really know
what's going on with him.
Anyway, he throws himself at me.
I move.
He falls to the ground.
He grabs me, throws me
down, and he bites my leg.
Look, look how he bit me.

MAN 6 (ON PHONE): Guys,
I'm going to the hospital.
It seems that Caco is
in serious condition.
Silvia tells me that
he's having convulsions.
He was unrecognizable.
It seems like he got
very, very aggressive.
He began by breaking the
furniture in the house,
hit Silvia.
He beat her up.
He made such a mess
that the neighbors
had to step in between them.
The neighbors came to see
what the fuck was going on.
Caco started screaming and...
NATALIA: Mom?
Mom?
Mom, are you OK?
What happened to you?
Mom!
Are you all right?
I don't know.
I think so.
I... everything went black.
What happened?
My glasses.
Let's see.
Wait.
No, this way.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What is that?
That's her fur.
It is fur?
Yes, that's Athena's fur.
You know, I think I remember.
I remember that I heard
her mewling painfully.
[KNOCKING]
Who is it?
Who could be this late?
I don't know, Mom.
Who could be this late?
Maybe the police.
The police?
Yes, I called the police,
just before passing out.
Why, mom?
Why the hell did you
call the police for?
Because someone had to...
But are you nuts?
JUANA: Well, because
someone had...
How could you possibly
think of calling
the police for a fucking rat?
Are you out of your mind?
Jesus Christ.
[BREATHES HEAVILY] Who is it?
It's Jorgelina.
Is she with the police?
NATALIA: Hello, mom.
And doesn't she have a key?
NATALIA: Peter forgot
the keys to the door.
And why is the kid
coming home so late?
NATALIA: She went out dancing.
She's not a kid anymore.
JORGELINA: Who left
the key in the door?
NATALIA: You didn't even
send me a single message.
Not even one.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing, mom.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
You're drunk.
No, Mom.
Yes.
You reek of alcohol.
Go wash your face.
Hey, Mom, the guys
outside are crazy.
Oh my God, look at your eyes.
What did you take?
People out there
are really messed up.
[CHOKES] Mom, I want

SILVIA (ON PHONE):
Caco is not well.

LAURA: Look, it's recording.
SEBASTIAN: No,
that's not possible.
This camera is
over 40 years old.
LAURA: Yes, it's recording.
Look.
Hello, daughter.
I'm Laura, your mom.
The idea of these videos is
leave a record of who we are,
of who we were, and the
world you'll be born into.
Look at these pants.
[SIGHS]
Mom loved it, and I hated it.
Even if it was hot or cold,
she insisted that I use it.
Look at it.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, I remember.
You see?
SEBASTIAN: Yeah.
We were a very large
family, you know.
We have been living here for a
very long time with Sebastian,
which was the sweet home of
our childhood, of our family.
We walked a long
way to get here.
We walked several
kilometers for a few weeks.
These are my toys from
when I was little.
I hope you play with them too.
[STATIC]
It all started two
years ago, daughter.
It was very fast.
The truth is, no one could
understand how they actually
achieved to wipe out
an entire civilization.
They were talking
about the apocalypse
all the time in the
media and the networks.
There were a lot of false
prophets walking around.
But, hey, both of
us, like many others,
continue to dream
about the future.
We can't think about death
and desolation all the time.
Walking here was
difficult, but we made it.
Here we are.
And we found the house
completely abandoned.
Everything was left behind,
but it hadn't been looted.
Sebastian said that the house is
protected by our faith in God.
What are you doing, Laura?
It's for Ruby.
I told you I was going
to record for her.
Come, record with me.
No, I don't like cameras.
Come on, tell her something.
What do you want me to tell her?
I don't know.
Whatever you want.
Whatever you say, it's
going to be all right.
[SIGHS]
He acts like this now, but
as a kid, he wasn't shy at all.
[GUNSHOT]
Did you hear that?
And also, a pregnant
woman is an omen.
It is a good omen.
It's the evidence
that life fights.
And suddenly, you showed up
here in me without word...
SEBASTIAN: Laura, are
you still on that?
Cut it out.
Come on, help me
close the door here.
I can't find the fucking...
LAURA: Wait, leave it to me.
SEBASTIAN: I can't...
LAURA: That's it.
Leave it to me.
Leave it to me.
SEBASTIAN: I got
less than last week.
It's pointless.
There's nothing there.
You're bleeding.
Huh?
No, no, no, it's not mine.
Smell that.
See?
Yes.
Well, I killed one
there in the parking lot.
It came at me, two of them.
That son of a bitch.
Should have blown him
away, but he run away.
LAURA: And the powdered milk?
SEBASTIAN: That's two
fucking months away, Laura.
I brought enough
for this week, OK?
I don't know, enough
maybe for 10 days,
but I brought what
was necessary, OK?
Get off my back!
Is this what is necessary?
SEBASTIAN: What are you doing?
You controlling me?
Who the fuck do
you think you are?
I'm the one who gets
out there to get things.
Next time, I'll go with you.
SEBASTIAN: You stay here.
Is that clear?
You don't care about Ruby.
What are we going
to do with that baby?
What are you telling me?
What are we going to do?
I want to know
what's best for us.
Just saying to you that.
LAURA: God is going
to protect us.
[STATIC]
Every birthday or
every new year,
grandparents, uncles, cousins.
There wasn't a table
where we could all fit.
[SIGHS] When I was a child,
the photos were developed.
They were printed and
put into these things
called photo albums, see?
Material memories were
very important before.
That's why your grandmother
keeps everything.
It would be beautiful
to see this with them.
SEBASTIAN: Are you
still doing that?
Cut it out, Laura.
Stop it.
Still.
Maybe mom and dad
could meet her.
SEBASTIAN: No, that's
not gonna happen.
Don't say that.
SEBASTIAN: Where were they?
Under the box of VHS.
No.
Give it to me.
SEBASTIAN: That doesn't
do you any good.
LAURA: Of course
it does me good.
Besides, they're important.
These are the only
photos we have of them.
When we arrived, there
was no blood in the house.
Well, they may be alive.
They may be somewhere.
They could have been rescued.
This was one of the
first neighborhoods
to have rescuers, wasn't it?
I don't know what is
happening to your faith.
SEBASTIAN: My faith is intact!
My faith gives me the strength,
and it allows me to see clearly!
There was blood above.
Mom and dad were attacked
here at home, in his own home.
[STATIC]
I was trying to find
the time to tell you,
but I didn't know when.
[SIGHS]
[STATIC]
This was my room.
And now it's going to be yours.
It's going to be beautiful.
And... [SIGHS]
SEBASTIAN: You're going
to regret it, Laura!
You're going to regret it!
I'm the one who puts up the...
The fucking foot in your mouth!
Your grave's going to be there,
and I'm going to build
it with some wood.
I'm going to build
it with my own hands.
[SIGHS]
SEBASTIAN: What are
you doing in there?
Where do you love yourself, huh?
[YELLS]
Oh, I can't stand him.
SEBASTIAN: I'm
the one who dares!
Stop talking to
the fucking camera!
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
Talk to me, Laura!
Here!
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Here!
I feel how you're growing.
You have a lot of strength.
This morning, you
kicked me really hard.
So maybe you will
be a strong athlete.
I'm very anxious.
I'm scared too.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Doing all this by
myself without my mom,
without women to support
me, without help.
I think about all of them.
I think about their births and
how they created this humanity.
I'll survive.
Even if they're not here, I
have their strength and power.
This is the room.
Your grandparents
kept everything.
I'm going to clean it.
I'm going to put
everything in its place.
SEBASTIAN: I ask you,
Lord, to guide me,
to give me protection, strength,
for this decision I have to make
with this life that is coming.
Daughter, serve us better.
We were able to talk.
We are ready for
your arrival, OK?
[KNOCKS]
SEBASTIAN: Are you here?
Yeah.
SEBASTIAN: [SIGHS]
Laura, I need you to think
of me too, and us, to see how
we are going to
do it from now on.
We'll both need you, Sebastian.
We're going to receive
her at the altar, aren't we?

She's very fragile.
What are you saying?

survive, Laura!
She's not going to survive!
She's very small.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]

You screwed up.
Get out of here now.
New documents.
And to Paraguay with the money
you have under the mattress.
That money's not enough.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): To kill an
innocent person, you go to jail.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
You can say that Vigna stole the
gun from you and shot the guy.
If I say he stole my gun,
I will look like an idiot.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Yes, but
better an idiot than in jail.
The promotion doesn't matter
anymore, it's already gone.
Forget about the
Nike's, the new door
from the bathroom, the
panties on Instagram, OK?
That's it, that's it.
It's over.
I want the promotion.
[SIGHS]
You're tough, huh.
You fucking piece of shit.
You better be fucking
dead, you fucking cunt.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): I got it.
You take the bullet
out of his head.
Without the bullet,
there are no clues.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
The coroner is going to
notice that you shot him
with the service weapon by
the side of the circumference.
You coroner, son of a bitch.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): What if
you take the bullet out of him,
and you enlarge
the circumference
with another weapon.
You say then you shot him.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
But I have to hit the
shot in the same place.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Do you
have a better plan, then?
No, but I have to shoot
him from a distance.
Because if not, the coroner
is going to realize that.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): You
coroner, son of a bitch.
He's going to realize that
I shot him at close range.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Son of a bitch.
Unless I...
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): What?
I soil your whole crime scene.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): Oh, yes.
I soiled it completely.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Yes, super soiled.
I got into a fight with Vigna.
It was a fight to death,
and I had to shoot him.
That's it.
There's no more time.
[GUNSHOTS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Weren't they three shots?
The damage is
already done, you know.
[THUD]
MURIEL (VOICE OVER): You were
entering the crime scene...
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GROANS]
When the guy grabs
you from behind.
Super heavy, the motherfucker.
You both fell to the ground.
It was hand-to-hand fight.
Hard, violent.
He grabbed you from the hair.
He wanted to slam your
face against the floor.
You resisted like a
lioness as against a beast.
Until he pulled out his bear
claw and he scratched your face.
[GROANS]
MURIEL: Son of a bitch.
MURIEL (VOICE OVER):
Son of a bitch.
And shot him.
I shot him.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

[CAT SCREECHES]
But what virus there?
According to

are rapid and can cause
instant addiction.
Let's take a look at
some heartbreaking images
of this phenomenon.
[TV CHATTER]

As this friction grows,
families across the country
are pleading for answers,
for a solution, a cure.
Many feel abandoned

[RATTLING]

Meanwhile, the number of

No more.
Let's try that again.
[GROANS]
JUANA: Peter.
Peter.
Peter.
Peter, get up.
Peter, wake up.
Peter, Peter, get up.
PETER: Huh?
JUANA: Get up.
PETER: What's going on?
There's something
in the kitchen, a rat.
There's a rat in the kitchen.
What, mom?
JUANA: I'm telling you, a rat.
A rat.
Peter.
NATALIA: How?
Where?
JUANA: I don't know,
but it came in there.
I think it went that direction.
Oh, come on, Peter.
Come on.
Oh, Natty, please wake him up.
We have to get it out.
Peter.
JUANA: Come on, Peter.
What's the matter?
NATALIA: Come on, wake up.
Ugh.
What's going on?
Did I fell asleep?
Come on, Peter.
[SIGHS]
I said, get up!
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
There it was, among those boxes.
How do you figure?
Well, because I
heard a noise before.
And then the cat was
looking that way.
And where did the cat go, huh?
JUANA: What do I know?
She was here, and she was
looking in that direction.
Could she have gotten in there?
JUANA: I don't know.
Athena?
[KISSING] Athena?
Careful.
Careful.
If the rat's there, stay.
I'm not going out, Mom.
[SIGHS] Do something, please.
Me?
NATALIA: Kill it.
You want me to kill a rat?
I don't kill a
cockroach, but you
want me to kill a goddamn rat?
But you have to get it out.
We can't live with a
rabid creature here.
Did you see it, Juana?
No, I didn't, but I did hear it.
But you speak as
if you've seen it.
Well, then, what else
would she be looking at?
She never does that.
She always sleeps
with me, you know.
How did a rat get in here?
I don't understand.
Well, through the terrace.
They go wherever they want.
They walk on wires.
They are tightrope walkers.
When I was young...
Mom, please stop.
You've told that story a
thousand times already.
We're trying to figure
something else out.
Well, but I'm going
to tell it again.
When I was young, a horrible
rat fell of a huge tree.
Right on top of
my head, she fell.
You don't know how dreadful that
was, the rat, full of diseases.
Goddamn it.
I'm going to freak
out if there's a rat.
We don't know if there's a rat.
I'll die.
If there's a rat, I'll die.
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
What do we do?
First of all, let's
calm down a bit, OK?
If it's a rat, it's a small
animal and we must be scared.
We have the high ground.
We're like huge
monsters to a rat.
And second, we don't
know if it's a rat.
And what was she
looking at then?
How the hell do I know
what the cat was looking at?
Hey, don't yell at me.
Don't yell at mom.
OK, hey, listen, what I think is
that maybe, sleeping, you
confuse reality with a dream
or heard a noise outside,
a bag that was passing by,
a car, a pedestrian,
a branch that broke,
the wind, the wind or
the ghost, taka, taka,
a thousand different
things other than a rat.
I tell you, it
wasn't the kitchen.
It came in here and
then it went out.
That's why the cat
looked that way.
It's rare for a rat
to get close to a cat.
[FAINT SIREN]
Huh, how smart you are.
[SIGHS] What time is it?
It's going to be 5:30.
Fuck me.
I get up in two hours.
Ugh, tomorrow, I'm
going to be a zombie.
Please come.
Stay here, Mom.
[SIGHS] Listen to me, your
mother hears a noise and thinks
it's a rat.
But do you remember when
you bought all those traps
and put them everywhere?
She has a thing for rats, OK?
You know this better than me.
You've been dealing with
this since you were born.
Well, why did we bring
the freaking cat?
In case a rat came.
She wanted a cat, so
we brought the cat.
That's that.
Let's deflate the situation.
Let's go to sleep.
Tomorrow, we'll see.
But if there's a rat, I'm
going to freak out, Peter.
I won't be able
to sleep anymore.
Well, if you don't
want to go to sleep,
then don't go to sleep.
But I need to rest because,
tomorrow, I'm in for 10 long.
Not tomorrow,
today, in two hours.
I spend 10 hours
working, lifting crates.
I cut in the middle
for a little sandwich,
and I continue lifting crates.
And you're going to leave
us like this, all alone
and awake with a rat?
You're so melodramatic.
For God's sakes.
What rat?
We didn't see any rat.
Calm down.
Go to sleep, please.
What time did you
arrive last night?
What time did you arrive?
Because I didn't hear you.
We finished playing.
We had a beer.
1:15.
[SCOFFS]
I guess.
Sure, yeah.
Then you say you
don't sleep enough.
Screw you.
Sure, whatever, Natalia.
You look like a kid and
you go play soccer at 40.
You're right.
What's wrong with your leg?
I just got kicked a little.
What a stupid prick.
PETER: I'm going to take a
piss, in case you want to know.
[SIGHS]
What the fuck's
wrong with you, Caco?
JUANA: These creatures
are horrendous
because you know that,
when they bite you,
they infect you with any plague.
I won't be able to
sleep anymore because I
have an issue with rats.
I don't...
Please stop, Mom.
Hold on.
Don't speak anymore.
Let's see if we hear something.
[SLOW TEMPO MUSIC]
JUANA: Wait, Natty.
NATALIA: Shh.
Where are you going?
Let Peter go.
Can you stop, Mom?
Didn't we have rat traps?
What did you do with the traps?
I threw them away
when we got Athena.
I was afraid she
would get trapped.
What if she smells it and, bam?
What if the trap breaks
her face, cuts off her leg?
Poison?
Didn't we have rat poison?
We never had any.
Yes, mom.
That little bug thing
where the rats get stuck?
What are you saying?
That's for cockroaches.
These rats are enormous.
They weigh about five kilos.
They're not going to get
stuck in a box like that.
Five kilos?
Yes, they're enormous.
They're bigger than Athena.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What if the rat is eating
my little sweet love?
What if the rat is eating

Natty, where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Don't leave me alone.

First, you put

Be quiet for a moment,
turn off the lights,

Hey, Peter, how are you?
How's your leg?
Hey, guys.
My leg's all busted up.
I'm crapping!
I'm not going in.
Do you remember there
was a cell phone
app to keep mosquitoes away?
Yeah, what's up with that?
Well, and there was another
one for scaring rats away
that caught our attention.
I don't remember, Natty.
I don't know.
Hadn't you downloaded
it on your phone?
Why would I download
that on my phone?
I told you to download it.
It was important.
I don't know, Natty.
I don't think so.
Do you have your

Yeah.
NATALIA: Look, please.
I didn't download it, Natalia.
Are you moron?
I told you to download it.
It was important.
My cell phone is

I take a picture, the

And I'm going to

Just a little intimacy,

Yeah, but we never have it.
And we're never going

Can you answer me, please?
I'm fine, Natty.
Fine.
I'm fine?
Look at that mess.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What happened to you, Peter?
Did it bite you?
What happened?
I was bitten by Caco.
NATALIA: Caco?
Did Caco bite you?
Yeah.
Who is Caco?
Caco, Suzanna's husband, the one
who lives next to the dentist.
The one who won the
hot dog contest.
The one who plays paddle,
who has the mustache,
passes by every day.
Caco, the one with the hat.
What do you mean, Caco bit you?
I don't know.
The asshole went crazy.
We were playing, and they
started arguing about a goal,
that it was, that it wasn't,
that it wasn't, that it was.
I don't know.
In reality, Valentina was
offside, so it didn't count.
And there has always
been trouble between them
because, in high school, they
went out with the same girl.
One is a River fan.
The other's a Boca fan.
And Valentina was playing.
Oh my God, it was beautiful
to watch, Boccini with hair.
Peter, I don't give a
fuck what you're telling me.
Tell me, how the fuck
were you bitten by Caco?
I'm explaining the context
because then you say, I don't
understand what you're saying.
So then I'm...
Summarize.
OK, OK, we were there arguing.
And all of a sudden, I see
Caco coming straight at me.
He's delirious, his eyes.
I don't really know
what's going on with him.
Anyway, he throws himself at me.
I move.
He falls to the ground.
He grabs me, throws me
down, and he bites my leg.
Look, look how he bit me.

MAN 6 (ON PHONE): Guys,
I'm going to the hospital.
It seems that Caco is
in serious condition.
Silvia tells me that
he's having convulsions.
He was unrecognizable.
It seems like he got
very, very aggressive.
He began by breaking the
furniture in the house,
hit Silvia.
He beat her up.
He made such a mess
that the neighbors
had to step in between them.
The neighbors came to see
what the fuck was going on.
Caco started screaming and...
NATALIA: Mom?
Mom?
Mom, are you OK?
What happened to you?
Mom!
Are you all right?
I don't know.
I think so.
I... everything went black.
What happened?
My glasses.
Let's see.
Wait.
No, this way.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What is that?
That's her fur.
It is fur?
Yes, that's Athena's fur.
You know, I think I remember.
I remember that I heard
her mewling painfully.
[KNOCKING]
Who is it?
Who could be this late?
I don't know, Mom.
Who could be this late?
Maybe the police.
The police?
Yes, I called the police,
just before passing out.
Why, mom?
Why the hell did you
call the police for?
Because someone had to...
But are you nuts?
JUANA: Well, because
someone had...
How could you possibly
think of calling
the police for a fucking rat?
Are you out of your mind?
Jesus Christ.
[BREATHES HEAVILY] Who is it?
It's Jorgelina.
Is she with the police?
NATALIA: Hello, mom.
And doesn't she have a key?
NATALIA: Peter forgot
the keys to the door.
And why is the kid
coming home so late?
NATALIA: She went out dancing.
She's not a kid anymore.
JORGELINA: Who left
the key in the door?
NATALIA: You didn't even
send me a single message.
Not even one.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing, mom.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
You're drunk.
No, Mom.
Yes.
You reek of alcohol.
Go wash your face.
Hey, Mom, the guys
outside are crazy.
Oh my God, look at your eyes.
What did you take?
People out there
are really messed up.
[CHOKES] Mom, I want
to go to the bathroom.
Oh.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
SILVIA (ON PHONE):
Caco is not well.
He's not well.
Yeah, he doesn't
look like himself.
Right now, he's asleep.
Doctors said he
had a heart attack?
Those who want to talk
to him, can't come,
can send him voice notes.
I can... he can still
hear and maybe listen.
So... so send them.
PETER: [CHOKES]
SILVIA (ON PHONE): [CRIES] Send
him messages so he can hear.
[GROANS]
SILVIA (ON PHONE):
He's really not well.
He's really not well.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
JUANA: Yes.
Yes, it was her.
It was Athena.
Yes.
Yes.
Now I remember.
It was Athena who went in there.
I... I think I heard her.
I heard her meowing in pain.
[SQUELCHING]

[CAT SCREECHING]
Who yelled?
It was mom.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Mom?

What happened to grandma?
NATALIA: Mom!
Mom!
Mom, are you OK?
What's going on?
Mom, look at me.
What happened?
The cat.
What?
The cat.
NATALIA: What about the cat?
Look at the cat.
NATALIA: What?
JUANA: The cat.
The cat.
NATALIA: What's
wrong with the cat?
She's dead.
What?
What are you saying?
Look.
Mom.
I don't understand what
you're saying, Mom!
JUANA: She's not my cat.

LAURA: Look, it's recording.
SEBASTIAN: No,
that's not possible.
This camera is
over 40 years old.
LAURA: Yes, it's recording.
Look.
Hello, daughter.
I'm Laura, your mom.
The idea of these videos is
leave a record of who we are,
of who we were, and the
world you'll be born into.
Look at these pants.
[SIGHS]
Mom loved it, and I hated it.
Even if it was hot or cold,
she insisted that I use it.
Look at it.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, I remember.
You see?
SEBASTIAN: Yeah.
We were a very large
family, you know.
We have been living here for a
very long time with Sebastian,
which was the sweet home of
our childhood, of our family.
We walked a long
way to get here.
We walked several
kilometers for a few weeks.
These are my toys from
when I was little.
I hope you play with them too.
[STATIC]
It all started two
years ago, daughter.
It was very fast.
The truth is, no one could
understand how they actually
achieved to wipe out
an entire civilization.
They were talking
about the apocalypse
all the time in the
media and the networks.
There were a lot of false
prophets walking around.
But, hey, both of
us, like many others,
continue to dream
about the future.
We can't think about death
and desolation all the time.
Walking here was
difficult, but we made it.
Here we are.
And we found the house
completely abandoned.
Everything was left behind,
but it hadn't been looted.
Sebastian said that the house is
protected by our faith in God.
What are you doing, Laura?
It's for Ruby.
I told you I was going
to record for her.
Come, record with me.
No, I don't like cameras.
Come on, tell her something.
What do you want me to tell her?
I don't know.
Whatever you want.
Whatever you say, it's
going to be all right.
[SIGHS]
He acts like this now, but
as a kid, he wasn't shy at all.
[GUNSHOT]
Did you hear that?
And also, a pregnant
woman is an omen.
It is a good omen.
It's the evidence
that life fights.
And suddenly, you showed up
here in me without word...
SEBASTIAN: Laura, are
you still on that?
Cut it out.
Come on, help me
close the door here.
I can't find the fucking...
LAURA: Wait, leave it to me.
SEBASTIAN: I can't...
LAURA: That's it.
Leave it to me.
Leave it to me.
SEBASTIAN: I got
less than last week.
It's pointless.
There's nothing there.
You're bleeding.
Huh?
No, no, no, it's not mine.
Smell that.
See?
Yes.
Well, I killed one
there in the parking lot.
It came at me, two of them.
That son of a bitch.
Should have blown him
away, but he run away.
LAURA: And the powdered milk?
SEBASTIAN: That's two
fucking months away, Laura.
I brought enough
for this week, OK?
I don't know, enough
maybe for 10 days,
but I brought what
was necessary, OK?
Get off my back!
Is this what is necessary?
SEBASTIAN: What are you doing?
You controlling me?
Who the fuck do
you think you are?
I'm the one who gets
out there to get things.
Next time, I'll go with you.
SEBASTIAN: You stay here.
Is that clear?
You don't care about Ruby.
What are we going
to do with that baby?
What are you telling me?
What are we going to do?
I want to know
what's best for us.
Just saying to you that.
LAURA: God is going
to protect us.
[STATIC]
Every birthday or
every new year,
grandparents, uncles, cousins.
There wasn't a table
where we could all fit.
[SIGHS] When I was a child,
the photos were developed.
They were printed and
put into these things
called photo albums, see?
Material memories were
very important before.
That's why your grandmother
keeps everything.
It would be beautiful
to see this with them.
SEBASTIAN: Are you
still doing that?
Cut it out, Laura.
Stop it.
Still.
Maybe mom and dad
could meet her.
SEBASTIAN: No, that's
not gonna happen.
Don't say that.
SEBASTIAN: Where were they?
Under the box of VHS.
No.
Give it to me.
SEBASTIAN: That doesn't
do you any good.
LAURA: Of course
it does me good.
Besides, they're important.
These are the only
photos we have of them.
When we arrived, there
was no blood in the house.
Well, they may be alive.
They may be somewhere.
They could have been rescued.
This was one of the
first neighborhoods
to have rescuers, wasn't it?
I don't know what is
happening to your faith.
SEBASTIAN: My faith is intact!
My faith gives me the strength,
and it allows me to see clearly!
There was blood above.
Mom and dad were attacked
here at home, in his own home.
[STATIC]
I was trying to find
the time to tell you,
but I didn't know when.
[SIGHS]
[STATIC]
This was my room.
And now it's going to be yours.
It's going to be beautiful.
And... [SIGHS]
SEBASTIAN: You're going
to regret it, Laura!
You're going to regret it!
I'm the one who puts up the...
The fucking foot in your mouth!
Your grave's going to be there,
and I'm going to build
it with some wood.
I'm going to build
it with my own hands.
[SIGHS]
SEBASTIAN: What are
you doing in there?
Where do you love yourself, huh?
[YELLS]
Oh, I can't stand him.
SEBASTIAN: I'm
the one who dares!
Stop talking to
the fucking camera!
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
Talk to me, Laura!
Here!
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Here!
I feel how you're growing.
You have a lot of strength.
This morning, you
kicked me really hard.
So maybe you will
be a strong athlete.
I'm very anxious.
I'm scared too.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Doing all this by
myself without my mom,
without women to support
me, without help.
I think about all of them.
I think about their births and
how they created this humanity.
I'll survive.
Even if they're not here, I
have their strength and power.
This is the room.
Your grandparents
kept everything.
I'm going to clean it.
I'm going to put
everything in its place.
SEBASTIAN: I ask you,
Lord, to guide me,
to give me protection, strength,
for this decision I have to make
with this life that is coming.
Daughter, serve us better.
We were able to talk.
We are ready for
your arrival, OK?
[KNOCKS]
SEBASTIAN: Are you here?
Yeah.
SEBASTIAN: [SIGHS]
Laura, I need you to think
of me too, and us, to see how
we are going to
do it from now on.
We'll both need you, Sebastian.
We're going to receive
her at the altar, aren't we?

She does not look good.
Yeah, she breathes.

LAURA: What do you mean,
she doesn't look right?
What do you mean, she
doesn't look right?
SEBASTIAN: We tried.

close the door?
Give me my daughter.
[BABY CRYING]
[GASPING] Seba, why
did you close the door?
Give me my daughter!
I'm begging you!
SEBASTIAN: There's no
one to help us, Laura.
You have to understand it.
She's very fragile.
What are you saying?
SEBASTIAN: She won't
survive, Laura!
She's not going to survive!
She's very small.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
How can she...
SEBASTIAN: Oh, Laura.
How can she not survive?
SEBASTIAN: God has
to give me strength.
God gives me strength.
[BABY CRIES]
I'm in him.
I won't... I won't fail him.
Open the doors, Sebastian.
SEBASTIAN: I won't fail you.
Open the doors, Sebastian.
Open the doors, Sebastian.

best thing for us, Laura!
LAURA: Open the door, you son

Open the door, Sebastian.
SEBASTIAN: It's the best way.

What can we do?
Open the door.
Come on.
I'm here.
Wait.
Mama's here.

Son of a bitch!
Now you're going to see.
