Sujo (2024) Movie Script
1
There you are!
Ive been after you all night.
Thank you for catching him.
He's always running away!
Whats your name boy?
Josue.
PART I
Josue The Eighth
You're making a mistake, Eighth.
It's the way it's meant to be, Genaro.
What were you thinking,
that I'd be your servant forever?
My son is here, I'm not going to harm you.
But if you move, I'll shoot!
Be right back, kiddo.
I'll turn on the radio so
you can fall asleep.
Do you have your toy?
-It's here with me.
Walk! Let's talk.
My father won't stand by, fucking Eighth!
You won't be found.
Stop crying...
I dont want to remember you like this.
-You son of a bitch!
Wait!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Hey Kid! Kid!
Unlock the door! Wake up!
Kid... Release the lock!
It's this right here!
Hurry up, kid!
Hours in the sun.
He could have died, Josue!
I've told you Neme, its The Eighth.
So now we have to call you
by your stage name?
I had an accident. That's why I was late.
They never did that to you
as a kid, Josue.
And look how you turned out.
What can he expect?
I'm on my own. I just do what I can.
I don't know what my sister saw in you.
If she only knew the
scumbag youve become.
A sicario!
The kid is welcome here.
Youre not.
See? This is how it's done, son.
That's the hard way. Look!
Here's a button.
When you were locked inside the car
I fell into a deep ravine.
I couldn't get out.
I didn't mean to leave you alone.
I had to climb and climb with all
my strength to get to you.
As I told you, kiddo, be a nice boy.
And pay attention to your teachers.
Goodbye kiddo!
We were going to find out, motherfucker!
Eighth, get in the car.
Hurry up, motherfucker!
You know they are to blame, Maza.
Don't forget I helped you when you needed.
Park here!
--How much do you want?
I'll pay you!
--Get out!
You can keep the car if you want!
My boy is still young.
--We'll put your son in the same barrel!
Fucking traitor!
--Wait!
Didn't I say you're not welcome
anymore, Josue?
Where is the child Josue?
Why do you live all alone up here?
What did you do to Josue?
Nothing. Hes at Genaro's wake.
Didnt you hear Aurelio's son was killed.
I'm here to pick up the Eighth's son.
He asked me to fetch him.
Tell him that the kid's not with me!
The Eighth told me to bring the kid.
Then go find him.
You better go. You don't want
to be here when night falls.
You motherfucker witch!
I can get you out if I want!
Good evening, Domi.
Do you know where Josues son is?
No one has come.
They're all at Genaro's wake.
Thanks Domi.
-Be careful!
Call them.
Uncle? Nemesia was here.
She's looking for the kid.
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
Come here, Sujo.
Get in there.
Dont make any sound.
And dont come out unless I say so.
Aurelio.
-How are you doing, Rosalia?
Im really sorry about your son...
I was thinking of taking the kids tomorrow
to give our sympathies to your family.
Thank you.
Wanna come in? I can make you some coffee.
No, thank you. I'm here for Sujo.
The Eighth is at my son's wake.
I'm bringing his boy.
-Nemesia picked him up a few hours ago.
So why you think that prick told me
his kid was here?
I have no idea, Aurelio.
Nobody picked up the kid at school
so I brought him here.
Jeremy, take Jai inside!
No!
Stay.
Goddamn!
I'm not going to hurt them, Rosalia!
You scared them.
Jai! Dont cry, my baby.
Come here!
Come Jai!
Your husbands also at the wake.
Say hello for me.
So Josue told you his kid was with me?
Cause I havent seen Josue at all!
-So the boys with his aunt?
-Yes
Come in and look for yourself if you want.
Keep watching TV, kids.
And dont let your mom scare you.
Im really sorry, Aurelio.
Stay inside!
Are you okay?
Did you pee yourself?
Don't worry, well just clean it up.
Nemesia? Hes right here.
Are you alright?
Aurelio came earlier looking for the kid.
He acted strange. Told him you
had the kid.
I didnt know what else to tell him.
Did he believe you?
I guess so.
Have you seen Josue?
Wheres daddy?
Get dressed, Sujo!
Don't cry.
Jeremy, help me!
You better not say anything to anyone.
-No.
Ive already told them.
Didnt I, kids?
Not even to your father.
They want to hurt the kid.
Hurry up, Sujo!
Come! Be careful
Ive told you not with me.
You walk!
-Take the ravine.
Dont be afraid. Come!
Is the dog yours?
-No. It belongs to the mountain.
Stay here.
The Eighth sent me for his son.
Stop lying!
I know what you did to Josue.
He knew how this goes and
he murdered my son anyway.
Why should I spare his?
Whatever Josue did it's not the
child's fault.
But hell grow up to give me trouble!
He will be different!
-No, he won't.
I may not be here to help you later.
-Yes, you'll end up the same way.
What did you say?
-Go to the mountain, Sujo!
Fucking shit!
He's my sister's boy.
Let me keep him.
Sujo!
Sujo!
You can come out!
Sujo!
Here!
Come get your milk.
Sit down. He's not going to hurt you.
I dont want him in town at all.
Don't dare to make me look like a moron!
And you can't mourn the Eighth either.
We made him into water so there's
nothing left to mourn.
What does "make water" mean?
Finish your milk, Sujo.
Careful, it's hot!
All right.
Part II
Nemesia
Before time there was only night.
There was no light, or sound...
Or any thought on Earth.
And the animals?
Those already existed.
But they didnt have voice nor body.
Everything was just night.
Like this one, Sujo.
There are many stories to tell you.
Who told you the stories?
Nobody. They've always been here.
Wheres my dad?
He returned to the animals.
How do I look?
You look like a cartel's wife in that car.
But you look nice.
-Sujo, wait!
Im telling you to keep it, you'll
visit more often.
No. With Jaiziel around hes capable
of coming back home just to get the car.
Listen, Neme, the car belongs to the kid.
It's his inheritance.
Just imagine how lucky we were
to get it back.
What happened? Want me to make a new one?
How about pink?
Dont you want it to look like me?
-Blue.
Blue?
Or you could sell it and get some money.
-No.
We dont know what they used the car for.
Or what Josue did to afford it.
Go play.
Hurry up!
Its just a car, Neme.
What ever happened in that car
isnt the car's fault.
Neither yours nor Sujos.
I have an idea! You can drive it!
You could come down to town.
--I can't drive
It's really easy. I can teach you.
It's the kind of car where you just have
to push a pedal.
Just as Josue left it.
With the saints and everything.
No button will destroy the car.
If there was such a button
hey wouldn't put it in!
Go ahead!
Those lights help you signal when you
need to stop, youre going backwards...
...or anything like that.
Do you see them?
Yes.
-All of them?
No.
-Then use the left mirror.
I see them.
-The three of them?
Yes.
-Then turn on the engine.
Watch out, kids!
Stay back! Were going backwards.
Ready?
Gently put your foot on the break.
Engage reverse.
Now slowly lift your foot. Very slowly!
Come on!
What are you doing?
Wait, Neme!
Stop!
Here it wont cause any trouble!
Put that one here.
-There!
You almost killed us!
Youre so crazy.
-You should've seen your face.
You turned pale!
-Here, have some water.
Youre all dirty!
Stop scratching, Jai!
-I don't want to make homework.
Let me help you, Jai.
Dog...
D-O-G
How long will you keep him hidden?
As long as it takes for them to forget.
Neme, he can't live like this.
He needs to go to town, he needs things.
Poor Josue, he loved that kid so much.
-Then why did he leave him alone?
He's not alone.
Jeremy, time to wake up!
We have to go.
Sujo, they're gonna scold you!
Sujo!
Why did you sleep outside? It's dangerous.
There are bugs out there.
Come.
Ready, gentleman.
Sit down.
He misses his dad.
Jaiziel! Stop being nosey and
drink your milk!
It's late! Hurry!
Stop it Jai! Were already late and dirty.
Stop it! Its not funny.
We shouldnt have stayed over
on a school day!
I want to go to school.
Whats its name?
-Deer, and this is a fox.
And also a frog and a porcupine
and an eagle.
When I go back to school
Im going to learn the names...
...of all animals and all things.
Can you give me hot milk?
That's hot too. Drink it!
Can I sit with you?
You mean on my lap?
-Yes and I'll show you my book.
No. No, you can't.
Why not?
Because you are asleep.
If you wanted to...
You could wander.
Sujo, wash up those big ears!
Bend your legs and sit down!
Hot water is coming.
Careful kids, its really hot.
Jai stop yelling!
Why is my name Jai?
We named you after your father.
Even your great-grandfather
was named Jai.
Since then, all first-borns are
named that.
Then why am I called Jeremy
and not Jaiziel?
Cause we were going to live in the US
and we wanted you to have an American name
But your father got deported.
So we stayed.
Everyone already called you Jeremy
so we let it be.
Dont you like your name?
And why is Sujo named like that?
-Neme? Do you have any idea?
No...
Josue called him Sujo since he was
in his mother's belly.
My sister wanted to name him
Juan de Dios like our father.
I prefer Sujo.
Youre right, sweetie.
Its a beautiful name.
Ill look up its meaning.
What does Sujo mean?
-I dont know but every name has a meaning
For instance, Jaiziel means "Angel of God"
Mine means Full of flowers
I don't know what Jeremy means because
it's in English.
And what does your name mean?
"Vengeance".
Sujo.
Sujo!
Dont wake up Neme!
Jeremy, empty your backpack and
your brother's. Were leaving!
Hurry.
Wait! Dont go too far.
Was it like this before, sweetie?
"Traitors are killed like dogs"
Sujo...
...where did your father hide
important things?
Dont let him know what it says.
Wait here!
What does it say?
-I dont know.
D-o-g
Jeremy!
Come here!
Pack all of Sujos clothes that
fit into your backpack.
I want to go too.
But only what fits inside the backpack.
Nothing else!
Did you hear?
Why is the roof broken?
-I dont know.
Can you hand me those pants?
Look Sujo! Not everythings lost.
Don't be sad.
Whats wrong, my love? What happened?
You thought I wouldnt notice?
This one cries more.
What made you think I was going
to leave you, my love?
Is he asleep?
Yes.
Come on, Neme.
Nothing bad happened.
Its the boys life! You dont even know
if Josue left any money.
He was a big spender...
He did.
Thats what Ive been trying to tell you.
I found 5000 pesos at Josues.
There has to be more.
Then what is this is for?
This key opens something.
There has to be more money.
If they havent stolen it yet.
None of that belongs to Sujo or to you.
And not to those bastards either!
Its not fair.
Dont you see?
No.
Whats in your hand?
-Something that belongs to you.
Your father says...
Nothing will tear us apart.
Part III
Jai & Jeremy
Grab a rock, bro!
Youre doing it wrong, dumbass!
Grab it from the side and throw it.
Watch, sideways!
Has it always been there?
-The dam?
Well, yes...
Youve never seen it before?
Nope.
And the ocean looks like this?
-No.
I dont know.
One day Ill go see it on my bike.
I just need to fix it right.
My boy...
I didnt see you, aunt.
Do you want some coffee?
No.
Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
Someones looking for you, boys.
Go ahead, Sujo!
Get those motherfuckers!
-They caught us!
Leave us alone, we're not doing anything!
-Well get you!
Dont come back!
Go!
Put that thing in your pants!
This is for your bones
to get back in place.
Be careful Jai!
-You're not carrying pigs.
But I am. You are both pigs.
Youd never kissed a girl before?
Never.
Love wasnt meant for you...
Love wasnt meant for me.
For me just alcohol and corridos!
Your aunt cant see us, right?
Dont be such a pussy.
Have you opened it already?
Wait. Sujo should be the one to open it.
Its swell, bro.
See? I told you, Sujo.
It was time for you to come down.
You couldnt spend your life hidden.
Try it again!
Idiots! Its been off for years!
We have to fix it.
Try it!
You said you knew how, Jai?
-Yes, I know what im doing.
Give me that, moron!
Ill show you, asshole!
Try again!
See? I told you I could fix it, you dog!
Listen to that music!
I fixed it!
Come on, lets go!
Listen motherfuckers,
its the Eighths son!
And hes back -car and all-
to fuck you up sissies!
So you better dont get in our way!
This car is the shit, bro!
Sick, right?
When did you get it?
You hadn't shown it to me.
Dont go tell mom.
Did you hear me, Jai?
I got it last week.
What did you have to do to get it?
Thirty-two?
I was getting Thirty-ninth
cause we were a lot.
But they gave me the number Thirty-two.
Your dad was the Eighth, did you know?
The smaller the number,
the fiercer you are.
They saw you in town the other day.
The guys want to give you a number
like your father.
Cut it out, what did you have
to do to get it?
Can't tell.
You should've picked a skull!
The skull was cool,
but the thorns are better.
Why didn't you pick the skull?
It was too big and would've
covered my whole chest!
You got scared!
-Of course not!
I can't stop you from making mistakes.
Im not my father.
Wait for me here.
You know what to do--
If youre not here in fifteen...
-We leave.
Its not a joke!
Hey!
-Whats up Jeremy?
And that big house?
Its the boss house, bro.
Thats where Maza lives?
No, idiot, Aurelio.
They want to see you.
Here he is.
Get yourself some tacos, Jeremy!
Go!
So youre the lucky owner of that car?
Yes.
It was my fathers.
Come, have a sit.
You look just like the Eighth.
I met your dad when I was kinda your age.
We were buddies.
I got into that car... A beauty!
I owe myself to the Eighth,
the father of this motherfucker.
Thanks to Maza you were
allowed to come down.
Thank you.
-Youll go as a mule.
What?
-Thats what its called, our job.
Do you think there'll be any trouble
with the boss?
Sujos like my brother.
-No.
We agreed the job is only
delivering near this area, right?
Yes.
And what are we delivering?
What a stupid question, Sujo.
Lets go get some beer!
When's my turn to be introduced?
No, Jai.
I told you Ill give you
a part of my money.
You have to finish school.
But the one who wants the fucking school
is this moron, not me.
So the one you met is the lame guy?
Dont you call him like that... Ever!
I used to hate your father...
Thinking he was fucking my wife...
...and the one who was fucking her,
if you can call it that...
...was that bitch.
Stop it, dad!
Let him speak his heart.
-Let's go!
You, stop it! I'm not a kid!
You know what?
Your father was a piece of shit.
A fucking traitor.
Sujo!
Come.
Help me out!
How longer do you think it will take?
I don't know!
I want to buy something for my mom.
But I also want to buy a new bike for Jai.
What would you like to do?
I don't know.
If I tell you, you'll make fun of me.
No, why would I?
Here they come. Let's go!
What's up?
So, it's done?
-Yes, we have it here!
I'm here with my brother!
See you around if you need anything.
Alright, man!
All good brother!
-We'll catch up with Maza.
Check those bikes!
They don't even know how to ride. Look!
They can't even make a u-turn.
What? Why aren't you talking to me, aunt?
I don't know how it feels to be a man...
...but you could have a different life.
What was so important?
Get on!
Where are we going?
Dont tell Jeremy.
This way.
Jai, where are we going?
-Youll see.
Just tell me.
-Follow me!
There it is!
Theres what?
They didnt turn him into water!
Your father is here.
Theres his picture and an urn.
You do look like your dad.
But in a sissy version.
Jeremy doesn't know about the phone.
They gave it to me.
Really cool, right?
My dads not there.
Well, who cares?
I bet the safe my mom used
to talk about, is inside.
He probably left some money!
It must be really cool
to see all that your father achieved.
He even built a chapel for himself.
My boy.
Jeremy's been very helpful.
-Cant believe it!
Is there something tonight?
-I don't know.
Jai, come and help!
What about tonight?
What's wrong?
They told me tonight it's further away!
We didn't agree on that...
I don't like it.
I told them not to serve you broth.
Thats okay.
I thought you didnt like it.
We can start only with cement.
They want to put flooring in the house.
It would be nice!
I think you should do it.
And youre helping?
Sure.
-Lets see!
Jeremy is helping too, right?
-Yes.
Dont drive too fast, Jai.
Be good to your aunt, my boy!
Is everything okay?
It's been fifteen minutes, Sujo.
Its been longer...
We cant leave without my brother!
If I dont come back...
...go to aunt Nemes and tell her
what happened.
How many are you and where do you live?
He is the one that recruits the men...
He makes them work.
Who's in the charge of extorting
in the area?
Be thankful we didn't kill you
fucking asshole!
So go tell Maza, Aurelio
and those morons that...
...this is our territory!
Lets go. Dont make a sound!
What happened, bro?
Dont tell anyone!
Was that your finger?
What happened?
-Nothing.
I cut myself on my way out...
-But what happened?
Nothing!
It was a mistake
-But what...
--Shut up, Jai!
Where should we go?
Take us to our dad.
Swear you won't tell anyone.
Was it because of me?
But dont come to town until I say so.
Fucking asshole.
What are you doing here, Jeremy?
Ive come to see my aunt Neme...
...but I couldnt find her.
Tell me what you were going to say to her.
Tell her that they killed
the Thirtieth to the Thirty-ninth.
And theyre coming for the Fortieth.
Sujo! What have you done?
What have you done?
Tell Jai I won't leave him alone.
Next bus to Mexico City!
Dont ever come back.
PART IV
SUSAN
Look, there comes the little fag.
Get on!
Keep it going boys!
Hey, what's your name?
-No, thanks.
Come join us, "No thanks".
So you don't go around
looking for trouble.
It shows on your face.
Keep it going boys!
Hurry up, kid! You're late!
What's up, man?
Come on, guys. I want to see you working!
Only six? Add another one.
Bring those sacks over here.
Keep on, guys!
Hey mister! Won't you need help unloading?
Ok, boy!
Its done, sir!
$150 and $15 off for the coffee, $135.
Want a lift back or are you
staying here with the reds?
I'm staying.
In that case, the important thing is...
Sorry I'm late!
Come in and close the door.
Are you coming in?
We'll discuss...
One of the issues that come
from the Baroque...
That of free will and determinism.
"I'm not mad at you.
It wasn't your fault...
I want to hear from you...
Tell me the things you've seen...
Tell me what you do over there...
I miss you very much...
Rosalia."
Quit the chatter, guys! The truck is here.
Make stacks of three.
Hey, sir! Want help unloading today?
Not today.
But I can give you a lift to the subway.
Thanks!
"When he realized there wasn't a
living soul around those places...
Jude felt impressed
by his own loneliness...
With the feeling of having become
a shadow of himself...
Someone who couldn't be seen, or heard."
You at the back, sit down, please!
"He took a deep breath...
And feeling like his own ghost...
He guided his thoughts towards
other ghosts...
That inhabited all
the corners around him."
Really... I can't go on
with you standing there.
Please...
"In the previous period
to this adventure...
After the irrevocable loss of his wife...
He had read and learned almost
all that could be read and learned...
About the men of letters
that had spent their youth..."
Didn't tell him to leave,
only to take a seat.
"...between those old walls."
--There are no free chairs.
You scared me!
I just wanted to talk to you.
I have another class in ten minutes.
But tell me.
I was told I could attend your class...
Even if I wasn't enrolled.
Well, only with the professor's permission
But you know, If you really are interested
I'd advise you to make the admission exam.
I cant.
-How come you can't? Why not?
I didn't finish school.
Well, It's not that hard to make
the exams, you know?
Well, I actually did finish school...
But I can't prove it.
Why can't you prove it?
What's your name?
Sujo.
Look Sujo, I didn't notice there
weren't more chairs in the classroom...
I didn't mean to make you leave.
It's not the first time you come, right?
I need to go. But did you read the book?
-Yes.
Well, then. I'll see you next class.
But I will be as demanding with you
as with everyone else.
That's fine. Thanks!
I have a job now...
I dont need you...
To keep sending money...
Some times I fall asleep...
Thinking...
Im still there...
Please ask...
My aunt Neme...
If she...
Dreams of me...
And what can I do...
To dream of her.
The doors where closed...
Moved by an impulse...
He took out a piece of chalk...
Which he always had with him
because of his trade...
And wrote...
On the wall.
I have understanding as well as you...
Im not inferior to you...
What a phrase, right?
Lets focus on that phrase...
Bringing its meaning to our present.
Thats why were working with a
nineteenth century novel.
Can I send you my paper earlier?
Sure, we can discuss that next time.
Bye everyone!
Thanks!
-Bye, thank you!
Are you happy now, Sujo?
Lets go.
I need you to sign, February.
February too?
-Yes.
February...
Done.
Okay, let me check.
I truly recommend you to look for
elementary education programs for adults
So you can get your papers and continue
with a higher education.
Thank you.
Good luck!
Listen, Sujo, the things we wish
arent always easy.
Im willing to help you...
But I dont like to waste my time.
I will not waste your time.
Start by calling me by my name.
I can see you in the afternoons.
Do you have a job?
I do...
But I can switch my schedule.
Where do you work?
At a warehouse...
Loading and unloading trucks.
Arent you from the city?
Im from Tierra Caliente.
Which part?
-Michoacan.
We can meet...
Next Tuesday...
Theres a coffee house near my house...
I just cant remember the street.
Give me your number.
I dont have a phone.
Benjamin Franklin 32.
Thats my address.
Theres a subway nearby.
Ill see you there and then
well walk to the coffee shop.
See you there!
At what time?
At seven!
Dont be late!
So, are you sure thats the career
you want to pursue? Literature?
Yes.
Though you'll also need
to read other stuff...
If you want to pass the exam
to the University...
Math, Physics, Biology...
I got you an interview for next week.
Its important, its a special program
that could help you.
Theyll ask you why you chose literature
And theyll ask about your life story...
Which I bet is really interesting, Sujo.
You dont have to tell me about it.
I brought you some books.
Read them. And when youre done...
Ill lend you three more.
One of those has a questionnaire...
To validate high school.
Give it a try.
Prove yourself!
Does it sound like a good deal?
-Yes.
Excellent!
Thank you!
Theres a faculty party tomorrow.
I think you should come.
Maybe youll make new friends.
Sure!
Sujo...
Ive never heard that name...
What does it mean?
Nothing, I guess.
Every name has a meaning...
Even if its only for the one
that chose it.
Where are you from?
Well...
Its complicated.
Why?
I was born in Argentina but came to Mexico
a long time ago.
I was very young.
How old were you?
Around your age.
Where are you going now, Sujo?
To work.
Im going this way
-And Im going that way.
See you tomorrow!
-Bye.
Look whos there, No
thanks in the flesh!
I didnt recognize you!
You took a shower.
He's a beauty!
I want you, bitch!
Hello!
Hey! Im glad youre here.
Go and meet people!
Where did that happen?
In Michoacan.
Look, he returns to shoot him...
Watch!
These people are always killing each other
Look Sujo, I brought you something.
But I left the charger at home.
Thank you!
Its kinda old...
But I thought it could be useful.
How is Argentina?
Argentina...
Look, Argentina is...
Bright and happy...
But its also dark and full of death.
-Why?
Because of the dictatorship.
Do you think people can change their life?
Yes, of course we can!
Come in!
Dont be shy!
Ill bring the charger.
Let me call you so you have my number.
I have it.
Arent you calling anyone to say
you're on your way?
Its late.
Dont you have any family, Sujo?
Yes...
My aunt...
Well...
Two aunts...
And a brother...
Hes not my real brother but as if...
And you dont live with them?
I dont.
They live in Tierra Caliente.
And you parents?
My mother died while giving birth...
My father died afterwards...
But he was a piece of shit.
Hey, dont say that...
I bet there was some good in him.
Is this your son in the photograph?
No...
He was my brother...
But he died a long time ago.
What was his name?
Its time for you to go, Sujo!
Come on, Ill walk you to the door.
Thanks, for the cellphone.
-Youre welcome.
Its me! Dont be a fag!
I was about to leave...
Ive been here all night.
Where were you?
Youre the fag!
Are you still mad at me that I left?
How much do you pay for this?
Now Im paying $4000.
The guy that slept in the top bed
left a few weeks ago.
So Im paying it on my own now.
But I like it better!
$4000?
You could buy your aunt Neme, her chickens
and the house with that money...
--Dont be a jerk!
Sujo, I need your help.
I have a debt.
They want to kill me.
And you know theyre not playing.
I fear for my mother If I don't pay.
I was so desperate that
I opened your fathers grave.
Aren't you going to ask what was inside?
What was inside?
Nothing!
They even steal from the dead.
Fucking bastards!
Keep it!
Thats all my savings.
You can stay If you want.
Thank you, bro.
How much do you need?
All I can get.
All we can get...
Hello, Agustin.
its not time yet, boy.
Im here to see the boss.
-Get in, then.
Hes my brother.
-Thats fine.
When we had payed in advance
people dont come back.
Im sorry kid. No way!
-Maybe some extra hours for him?
He works really hard... I promise...
How much do you pay?
It would be just for the tips.
Were already full.
Get in line for next week.
How about cleaning onions?
Thats not my business.
Talk to the guys downstairs.
Thank you boss.
-See ya later kiddo!
For the tips, fucking pig!
What where you thinking when you told him
that I could clean the onions?
Thats how I started.
I dont want to cause you any trouble...
Otherwise I would have kicked
that motherfuckers ass.
Why is it always like that?
Breaking our backs for a few pennies.
You dont have to leave.
Ive told you Im paying
for the whole room.
So you can stay as long as you need.
Sujo, just look how youre living...
And then I think of
what happened to my brother...
Getting killed for so little.
Sometimes I start wondering
and I get crazy in the head.
Does that happen to you too?
-Yes.
Lets get drunk.
Lets go.
Fuck. Look at this...
Only 200 pesos.
Calm down!
This one has more money!
And the wallet is nice.
Im keeping it.
Come on...
Lets go for a beer.
What is it?
Its me, whos calling?
But is he alright?
Come in.
Over there.
Ill go get some covers.
So you are with my brother?
Youre still an attractive woman.
Get out of here!
Wheres the wallet?
Dont be an ass.
You are the one who brought me here!
Not for this!
Go get the speakers.
Stop being a pussy!
She is helping me!
She doesnt know you.
Did you tell her that your
father was a sicario?
These people don't give a shit about us.
Please, lets go.
Ill give you $2300.
Its okay, just give it to me
in $100 bills.
How much can you give us
for the cellphone?
You sure, bro?
$2000.
Okay.
The bus station is right ahead.
Okay, Ill go by myself then.
Thank you, Sujo.
I really needed help.
I knew I could count on you.
Dont let my mom know I was here.
You sure you dont want
part of the money?
Ill get over this...
And when I do Ill come
back to get you.
Jai!
Were you there,
when Jeremy was killed?
I was...
There you are you little pussy...
Ive been waiting for you...
Get in, asshole!
You cant even afford a pair of gloves.
Scumbag!
It's "no thanks" coming to the ring!
I didnt think you were coming.
Just look what happened
to your face!
Ill give everything back.
I swear!
You better!
I just need a few weeks.
Im getting two shifts.
How much money did you get?
$5000?
Hello Susan!
How are you, Esteban?
Thank you so much for your time.
I know you have a tight schedule,
so thank you.
This is Sujo...
I guess he doesn't know it.
But he's a very special young man.
Welcome, come in!
There you are!
What's your name boy?
Josue.
-Josue?
And whats the name of the horse?
His name is Sujo.
Sujo
You're the most beautiful thing I've seen.
To the orphans of this country in flames.
There you are!
Ive been after you all night.
Thank you for catching him.
He's always running away!
Whats your name boy?
Josue.
PART I
Josue The Eighth
You're making a mistake, Eighth.
It's the way it's meant to be, Genaro.
What were you thinking,
that I'd be your servant forever?
My son is here, I'm not going to harm you.
But if you move, I'll shoot!
Be right back, kiddo.
I'll turn on the radio so
you can fall asleep.
Do you have your toy?
-It's here with me.
Walk! Let's talk.
My father won't stand by, fucking Eighth!
You won't be found.
Stop crying...
I dont want to remember you like this.
-You son of a bitch!
Wait!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Hey Kid! Kid!
Unlock the door! Wake up!
Kid... Release the lock!
It's this right here!
Hurry up, kid!
Hours in the sun.
He could have died, Josue!
I've told you Neme, its The Eighth.
So now we have to call you
by your stage name?
I had an accident. That's why I was late.
They never did that to you
as a kid, Josue.
And look how you turned out.
What can he expect?
I'm on my own. I just do what I can.
I don't know what my sister saw in you.
If she only knew the
scumbag youve become.
A sicario!
The kid is welcome here.
Youre not.
See? This is how it's done, son.
That's the hard way. Look!
Here's a button.
When you were locked inside the car
I fell into a deep ravine.
I couldn't get out.
I didn't mean to leave you alone.
I had to climb and climb with all
my strength to get to you.
As I told you, kiddo, be a nice boy.
And pay attention to your teachers.
Goodbye kiddo!
We were going to find out, motherfucker!
Eighth, get in the car.
Hurry up, motherfucker!
You know they are to blame, Maza.
Don't forget I helped you when you needed.
Park here!
--How much do you want?
I'll pay you!
--Get out!
You can keep the car if you want!
My boy is still young.
--We'll put your son in the same barrel!
Fucking traitor!
--Wait!
Didn't I say you're not welcome
anymore, Josue?
Where is the child Josue?
Why do you live all alone up here?
What did you do to Josue?
Nothing. Hes at Genaro's wake.
Didnt you hear Aurelio's son was killed.
I'm here to pick up the Eighth's son.
He asked me to fetch him.
Tell him that the kid's not with me!
The Eighth told me to bring the kid.
Then go find him.
You better go. You don't want
to be here when night falls.
You motherfucker witch!
I can get you out if I want!
Good evening, Domi.
Do you know where Josues son is?
No one has come.
They're all at Genaro's wake.
Thanks Domi.
-Be careful!
Call them.
Uncle? Nemesia was here.
She's looking for the kid.
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
Come here, Sujo.
Get in there.
Dont make any sound.
And dont come out unless I say so.
Aurelio.
-How are you doing, Rosalia?
Im really sorry about your son...
I was thinking of taking the kids tomorrow
to give our sympathies to your family.
Thank you.
Wanna come in? I can make you some coffee.
No, thank you. I'm here for Sujo.
The Eighth is at my son's wake.
I'm bringing his boy.
-Nemesia picked him up a few hours ago.
So why you think that prick told me
his kid was here?
I have no idea, Aurelio.
Nobody picked up the kid at school
so I brought him here.
Jeremy, take Jai inside!
No!
Stay.
Goddamn!
I'm not going to hurt them, Rosalia!
You scared them.
Jai! Dont cry, my baby.
Come here!
Come Jai!
Your husbands also at the wake.
Say hello for me.
So Josue told you his kid was with me?
Cause I havent seen Josue at all!
-So the boys with his aunt?
-Yes
Come in and look for yourself if you want.
Keep watching TV, kids.
And dont let your mom scare you.
Im really sorry, Aurelio.
Stay inside!
Are you okay?
Did you pee yourself?
Don't worry, well just clean it up.
Nemesia? Hes right here.
Are you alright?
Aurelio came earlier looking for the kid.
He acted strange. Told him you
had the kid.
I didnt know what else to tell him.
Did he believe you?
I guess so.
Have you seen Josue?
Wheres daddy?
Get dressed, Sujo!
Don't cry.
Jeremy, help me!
You better not say anything to anyone.
-No.
Ive already told them.
Didnt I, kids?
Not even to your father.
They want to hurt the kid.
Hurry up, Sujo!
Come! Be careful
Ive told you not with me.
You walk!
-Take the ravine.
Dont be afraid. Come!
Is the dog yours?
-No. It belongs to the mountain.
Stay here.
The Eighth sent me for his son.
Stop lying!
I know what you did to Josue.
He knew how this goes and
he murdered my son anyway.
Why should I spare his?
Whatever Josue did it's not the
child's fault.
But hell grow up to give me trouble!
He will be different!
-No, he won't.
I may not be here to help you later.
-Yes, you'll end up the same way.
What did you say?
-Go to the mountain, Sujo!
Fucking shit!
He's my sister's boy.
Let me keep him.
Sujo!
Sujo!
You can come out!
Sujo!
Here!
Come get your milk.
Sit down. He's not going to hurt you.
I dont want him in town at all.
Don't dare to make me look like a moron!
And you can't mourn the Eighth either.
We made him into water so there's
nothing left to mourn.
What does "make water" mean?
Finish your milk, Sujo.
Careful, it's hot!
All right.
Part II
Nemesia
Before time there was only night.
There was no light, or sound...
Or any thought on Earth.
And the animals?
Those already existed.
But they didnt have voice nor body.
Everything was just night.
Like this one, Sujo.
There are many stories to tell you.
Who told you the stories?
Nobody. They've always been here.
Wheres my dad?
He returned to the animals.
How do I look?
You look like a cartel's wife in that car.
But you look nice.
-Sujo, wait!
Im telling you to keep it, you'll
visit more often.
No. With Jaiziel around hes capable
of coming back home just to get the car.
Listen, Neme, the car belongs to the kid.
It's his inheritance.
Just imagine how lucky we were
to get it back.
What happened? Want me to make a new one?
How about pink?
Dont you want it to look like me?
-Blue.
Blue?
Or you could sell it and get some money.
-No.
We dont know what they used the car for.
Or what Josue did to afford it.
Go play.
Hurry up!
Its just a car, Neme.
What ever happened in that car
isnt the car's fault.
Neither yours nor Sujos.
I have an idea! You can drive it!
You could come down to town.
--I can't drive
It's really easy. I can teach you.
It's the kind of car where you just have
to push a pedal.
Just as Josue left it.
With the saints and everything.
No button will destroy the car.
If there was such a button
hey wouldn't put it in!
Go ahead!
Those lights help you signal when you
need to stop, youre going backwards...
...or anything like that.
Do you see them?
Yes.
-All of them?
No.
-Then use the left mirror.
I see them.
-The three of them?
Yes.
-Then turn on the engine.
Watch out, kids!
Stay back! Were going backwards.
Ready?
Gently put your foot on the break.
Engage reverse.
Now slowly lift your foot. Very slowly!
Come on!
What are you doing?
Wait, Neme!
Stop!
Here it wont cause any trouble!
Put that one here.
-There!
You almost killed us!
Youre so crazy.
-You should've seen your face.
You turned pale!
-Here, have some water.
Youre all dirty!
Stop scratching, Jai!
-I don't want to make homework.
Let me help you, Jai.
Dog...
D-O-G
How long will you keep him hidden?
As long as it takes for them to forget.
Neme, he can't live like this.
He needs to go to town, he needs things.
Poor Josue, he loved that kid so much.
-Then why did he leave him alone?
He's not alone.
Jeremy, time to wake up!
We have to go.
Sujo, they're gonna scold you!
Sujo!
Why did you sleep outside? It's dangerous.
There are bugs out there.
Come.
Ready, gentleman.
Sit down.
He misses his dad.
Jaiziel! Stop being nosey and
drink your milk!
It's late! Hurry!
Stop it Jai! Were already late and dirty.
Stop it! Its not funny.
We shouldnt have stayed over
on a school day!
I want to go to school.
Whats its name?
-Deer, and this is a fox.
And also a frog and a porcupine
and an eagle.
When I go back to school
Im going to learn the names...
...of all animals and all things.
Can you give me hot milk?
That's hot too. Drink it!
Can I sit with you?
You mean on my lap?
-Yes and I'll show you my book.
No. No, you can't.
Why not?
Because you are asleep.
If you wanted to...
You could wander.
Sujo, wash up those big ears!
Bend your legs and sit down!
Hot water is coming.
Careful kids, its really hot.
Jai stop yelling!
Why is my name Jai?
We named you after your father.
Even your great-grandfather
was named Jai.
Since then, all first-borns are
named that.
Then why am I called Jeremy
and not Jaiziel?
Cause we were going to live in the US
and we wanted you to have an American name
But your father got deported.
So we stayed.
Everyone already called you Jeremy
so we let it be.
Dont you like your name?
And why is Sujo named like that?
-Neme? Do you have any idea?
No...
Josue called him Sujo since he was
in his mother's belly.
My sister wanted to name him
Juan de Dios like our father.
I prefer Sujo.
Youre right, sweetie.
Its a beautiful name.
Ill look up its meaning.
What does Sujo mean?
-I dont know but every name has a meaning
For instance, Jaiziel means "Angel of God"
Mine means Full of flowers
I don't know what Jeremy means because
it's in English.
And what does your name mean?
"Vengeance".
Sujo.
Sujo!
Dont wake up Neme!
Jeremy, empty your backpack and
your brother's. Were leaving!
Hurry.
Wait! Dont go too far.
Was it like this before, sweetie?
"Traitors are killed like dogs"
Sujo...
...where did your father hide
important things?
Dont let him know what it says.
Wait here!
What does it say?
-I dont know.
D-o-g
Jeremy!
Come here!
Pack all of Sujos clothes that
fit into your backpack.
I want to go too.
But only what fits inside the backpack.
Nothing else!
Did you hear?
Why is the roof broken?
-I dont know.
Can you hand me those pants?
Look Sujo! Not everythings lost.
Don't be sad.
Whats wrong, my love? What happened?
You thought I wouldnt notice?
This one cries more.
What made you think I was going
to leave you, my love?
Is he asleep?
Yes.
Come on, Neme.
Nothing bad happened.
Its the boys life! You dont even know
if Josue left any money.
He was a big spender...
He did.
Thats what Ive been trying to tell you.
I found 5000 pesos at Josues.
There has to be more.
Then what is this is for?
This key opens something.
There has to be more money.
If they havent stolen it yet.
None of that belongs to Sujo or to you.
And not to those bastards either!
Its not fair.
Dont you see?
No.
Whats in your hand?
-Something that belongs to you.
Your father says...
Nothing will tear us apart.
Part III
Jai & Jeremy
Grab a rock, bro!
Youre doing it wrong, dumbass!
Grab it from the side and throw it.
Watch, sideways!
Has it always been there?
-The dam?
Well, yes...
Youve never seen it before?
Nope.
And the ocean looks like this?
-No.
I dont know.
One day Ill go see it on my bike.
I just need to fix it right.
My boy...
I didnt see you, aunt.
Do you want some coffee?
No.
Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
Someones looking for you, boys.
Go ahead, Sujo!
Get those motherfuckers!
-They caught us!
Leave us alone, we're not doing anything!
-Well get you!
Dont come back!
Go!
Put that thing in your pants!
This is for your bones
to get back in place.
Be careful Jai!
-You're not carrying pigs.
But I am. You are both pigs.
Youd never kissed a girl before?
Never.
Love wasnt meant for you...
Love wasnt meant for me.
For me just alcohol and corridos!
Your aunt cant see us, right?
Dont be such a pussy.
Have you opened it already?
Wait. Sujo should be the one to open it.
Its swell, bro.
See? I told you, Sujo.
It was time for you to come down.
You couldnt spend your life hidden.
Try it again!
Idiots! Its been off for years!
We have to fix it.
Try it!
You said you knew how, Jai?
-Yes, I know what im doing.
Give me that, moron!
Ill show you, asshole!
Try again!
See? I told you I could fix it, you dog!
Listen to that music!
I fixed it!
Come on, lets go!
Listen motherfuckers,
its the Eighths son!
And hes back -car and all-
to fuck you up sissies!
So you better dont get in our way!
This car is the shit, bro!
Sick, right?
When did you get it?
You hadn't shown it to me.
Dont go tell mom.
Did you hear me, Jai?
I got it last week.
What did you have to do to get it?
Thirty-two?
I was getting Thirty-ninth
cause we were a lot.
But they gave me the number Thirty-two.
Your dad was the Eighth, did you know?
The smaller the number,
the fiercer you are.
They saw you in town the other day.
The guys want to give you a number
like your father.
Cut it out, what did you have
to do to get it?
Can't tell.
You should've picked a skull!
The skull was cool,
but the thorns are better.
Why didn't you pick the skull?
It was too big and would've
covered my whole chest!
You got scared!
-Of course not!
I can't stop you from making mistakes.
Im not my father.
Wait for me here.
You know what to do--
If youre not here in fifteen...
-We leave.
Its not a joke!
Hey!
-Whats up Jeremy?
And that big house?
Its the boss house, bro.
Thats where Maza lives?
No, idiot, Aurelio.
They want to see you.
Here he is.
Get yourself some tacos, Jeremy!
Go!
So youre the lucky owner of that car?
Yes.
It was my fathers.
Come, have a sit.
You look just like the Eighth.
I met your dad when I was kinda your age.
We were buddies.
I got into that car... A beauty!
I owe myself to the Eighth,
the father of this motherfucker.
Thanks to Maza you were
allowed to come down.
Thank you.
-Youll go as a mule.
What?
-Thats what its called, our job.
Do you think there'll be any trouble
with the boss?
Sujos like my brother.
-No.
We agreed the job is only
delivering near this area, right?
Yes.
And what are we delivering?
What a stupid question, Sujo.
Lets go get some beer!
When's my turn to be introduced?
No, Jai.
I told you Ill give you
a part of my money.
You have to finish school.
But the one who wants the fucking school
is this moron, not me.
So the one you met is the lame guy?
Dont you call him like that... Ever!
I used to hate your father...
Thinking he was fucking my wife...
...and the one who was fucking her,
if you can call it that...
...was that bitch.
Stop it, dad!
Let him speak his heart.
-Let's go!
You, stop it! I'm not a kid!
You know what?
Your father was a piece of shit.
A fucking traitor.
Sujo!
Come.
Help me out!
How longer do you think it will take?
I don't know!
I want to buy something for my mom.
But I also want to buy a new bike for Jai.
What would you like to do?
I don't know.
If I tell you, you'll make fun of me.
No, why would I?
Here they come. Let's go!
What's up?
So, it's done?
-Yes, we have it here!
I'm here with my brother!
See you around if you need anything.
Alright, man!
All good brother!
-We'll catch up with Maza.
Check those bikes!
They don't even know how to ride. Look!
They can't even make a u-turn.
What? Why aren't you talking to me, aunt?
I don't know how it feels to be a man...
...but you could have a different life.
What was so important?
Get on!
Where are we going?
Dont tell Jeremy.
This way.
Jai, where are we going?
-Youll see.
Just tell me.
-Follow me!
There it is!
Theres what?
They didnt turn him into water!
Your father is here.
Theres his picture and an urn.
You do look like your dad.
But in a sissy version.
Jeremy doesn't know about the phone.
They gave it to me.
Really cool, right?
My dads not there.
Well, who cares?
I bet the safe my mom used
to talk about, is inside.
He probably left some money!
It must be really cool
to see all that your father achieved.
He even built a chapel for himself.
My boy.
Jeremy's been very helpful.
-Cant believe it!
Is there something tonight?
-I don't know.
Jai, come and help!
What about tonight?
What's wrong?
They told me tonight it's further away!
We didn't agree on that...
I don't like it.
I told them not to serve you broth.
Thats okay.
I thought you didnt like it.
We can start only with cement.
They want to put flooring in the house.
It would be nice!
I think you should do it.
And youre helping?
Sure.
-Lets see!
Jeremy is helping too, right?
-Yes.
Dont drive too fast, Jai.
Be good to your aunt, my boy!
Is everything okay?
It's been fifteen minutes, Sujo.
Its been longer...
We cant leave without my brother!
If I dont come back...
...go to aunt Nemes and tell her
what happened.
How many are you and where do you live?
He is the one that recruits the men...
He makes them work.
Who's in the charge of extorting
in the area?
Be thankful we didn't kill you
fucking asshole!
So go tell Maza, Aurelio
and those morons that...
...this is our territory!
Lets go. Dont make a sound!
What happened, bro?
Dont tell anyone!
Was that your finger?
What happened?
-Nothing.
I cut myself on my way out...
-But what happened?
Nothing!
It was a mistake
-But what...
--Shut up, Jai!
Where should we go?
Take us to our dad.
Swear you won't tell anyone.
Was it because of me?
But dont come to town until I say so.
Fucking asshole.
What are you doing here, Jeremy?
Ive come to see my aunt Neme...
...but I couldnt find her.
Tell me what you were going to say to her.
Tell her that they killed
the Thirtieth to the Thirty-ninth.
And theyre coming for the Fortieth.
Sujo! What have you done?
What have you done?
Tell Jai I won't leave him alone.
Next bus to Mexico City!
Dont ever come back.
PART IV
SUSAN
Look, there comes the little fag.
Get on!
Keep it going boys!
Hey, what's your name?
-No, thanks.
Come join us, "No thanks".
So you don't go around
looking for trouble.
It shows on your face.
Keep it going boys!
Hurry up, kid! You're late!
What's up, man?
Come on, guys. I want to see you working!
Only six? Add another one.
Bring those sacks over here.
Keep on, guys!
Hey mister! Won't you need help unloading?
Ok, boy!
Its done, sir!
$150 and $15 off for the coffee, $135.
Want a lift back or are you
staying here with the reds?
I'm staying.
In that case, the important thing is...
Sorry I'm late!
Come in and close the door.
Are you coming in?
We'll discuss...
One of the issues that come
from the Baroque...
That of free will and determinism.
"I'm not mad at you.
It wasn't your fault...
I want to hear from you...
Tell me the things you've seen...
Tell me what you do over there...
I miss you very much...
Rosalia."
Quit the chatter, guys! The truck is here.
Make stacks of three.
Hey, sir! Want help unloading today?
Not today.
But I can give you a lift to the subway.
Thanks!

to this adventure...
After the irrevocable loss of his wife...
He had read and learned almost
all that could be read and learned...
About the men of letters
that had spent their youth..."
Didn't tell him to leave,
only to take a seat.
"...between those old walls."
--There are no free chairs.
You scared me!
I just wanted to talk to you.
I have another class in ten minutes.
But tell me.
I was told I could attend your class...
Even if I wasn't enrolled.
Well, only with the professor's permission
But you know, If you really are interested
I'd advise you to make the admission exam.
I cant.
-How come you can't? Why not?
I didn't finish school.
Well, It's not that hard to make
the exams, you know?
Well, I actually did finish school...
But I can't prove it.
Why can't you prove it?
What's your name?
Sujo.
Look Sujo, I didn't notice there
weren't more chairs in the classroom...
I didn't mean to make you leave.
It's not the first time you come, right?
I need to go. But did you read the book?
-Yes.
Well, then. I'll see you next class.
But I will be as demanding with you
as with everyone else.
That's fine. Thanks!
I have a job now...
I dont need you...
To keep sending money...
Some times I fall asleep...
Thinking...
Im still there...
Please ask...
My aunt Neme...
If she...
Dreams of me...
And what can I do...
To dream of her.
The doors where closed...
Moved by an impulse...
He took out a piece of chalk...
Which he always had with him
because of his trade...
And wrote...
On the wall.
I have understanding as well as you...
Im not inferior to you...
What a phrase, right?
Lets focus on that phrase...
Bringing its meaning to our present.
Thats why were working with a
nineteenth century novel.
Can I send you my paper earlier?
Sure, we can discuss that next time.
Bye everyone!
Thanks!
-Bye, thank you!
Are you happy now, Sujo?
Lets go.
I need you to sign, February.
February too?
-Yes.
February...
Done.
Okay, let me check.
I truly recommend you to look for
elementary education programs for adults
So you can get your papers and continue
with a higher education.
Thank you.
Good luck!
Listen, Sujo, the things we wish
arent always easy.
Im willing to help you...
But I dont like to waste my time.
I will not waste your time.
Start by calling me by my name.
I can see you in the afternoons.
Do you have a job?
I do...
But I can switch my schedule.
Where do you work?
At a warehouse...
Loading and unloading trucks.
Arent you from the city?
Im from Tierra Caliente.
Which part?
-Michoacan.
We can meet...
Next Tuesday...
Theres a coffee house near my house...
I just cant remember the street.
Give me your number.
I dont have a phone.
Benjamin Franklin 32.
Thats my address.
Theres a subway nearby.
Ill see you there and then
well walk to the coffee shop.
See you there!
At what time?
At seven!
Dont be late!
So, are you sure thats the career
you want to pursue? Literature?
Yes.
Though you'll also need
to read other stuff...
If you want to pass the exam
to the University...
Math, Physics, Biology...
I got you an interview for next week.
Its important, its a special program
that could help you.
Theyll ask you why you chose literature
And theyll ask about your life story...
Which I bet is really interesting, Sujo.
You dont have to tell me about it.
I brought you some books.
Read them. And when youre done...
Ill lend you three more.
One of those has a questionnaire...
To validate high school.
Give it a try.
Prove yourself!
Does it sound like a good deal?
-Yes.
Excellent!
Thank you!
Theres a faculty party tomorrow.
I think you should come.
Maybe youll make new friends.
Sure!
Sujo...
Ive never heard that name...
What does it mean?
Nothing, I guess.
Every name has a meaning...
Even if its only for the one
that chose it.
Where are you from?
Well...
Its complicated.
Why?
I was born in Argentina but came to Mexico
a long time ago.
I was very young.
How old were you?
Around your age.
Where are you going now, Sujo?
To work.
Im going this way
-And Im going that way.
See you tomorrow!
-Bye.
Look whos there, No
thanks in the flesh!
I didnt recognize you!
You took a shower.
He's a beauty!
I want you, bitch!
Hello!
Hey! Im glad youre here.
Go and meet people!
Where did that happen?
In Michoacan.
Look, he returns to shoot him...
Watch!
These people are always killing each other
Look Sujo, I brought you something.
But I left the charger at home.
Thank you!
Its kinda old...
But I thought it could be useful.
How is Argentina?
Argentina...
Look, Argentina is...
Bright and happy...
But its also dark and full of death.
-Why?
Because of the dictatorship.
Do you think people can change their life?
Yes, of course we can!
Come in!
Dont be shy!
Ill bring the charger.
Let me call you so you have my number.
I have it.
Arent you calling anyone to say
you're on your way?
Its late.
Dont you have any family, Sujo?
Yes...
My aunt...
Well...
Two aunts...
And a brother...
Hes not my real brother but as if...
And you dont live with them?
I dont.
They live in Tierra Caliente.
And you parents?
My mother died while giving birth...
My father died afterwards...
But he was a piece of shit.
Hey, dont say that...
I bet there was some good in him.
Is this your son in the photograph?
No...
He was my brother...
But he died a long time ago.
What was his name?
Its time for you to go, Sujo!
Come on, Ill walk you to the door.
Thanks, for the cellphone.
-Youre welcome.
Its me! Dont be a fag!
I was about to leave...
Ive been here all night.
Where were you?
Youre the fag!
Are you still mad at me that I left?
How much do you pay for this?
Now Im paying $4000.
The guy that slept in the top bed
left a few weeks ago.
So Im paying it on my own now.
But I like it better!
$4000?
You could buy your aunt Neme, her chickens
and the house with that money...
--Dont be a jerk!
Sujo, I need your help.
I have a debt.
They want to kill me.
And you know theyre not playing.
I fear for my mother If I don't pay.
I was so desperate that
I opened your fathers grave.
Aren't you going to ask what was inside?
What was inside?
Nothing!
They even steal from the dead.
Fucking bastards!
Keep it!
Thats all my savings.
You can stay If you want.
Thank you, bro.
How much do you need?
All I can get.
All we can get...
Hello, Agustin.
its not time yet, boy.
Im here to see the boss.
-Get in, then.
Hes my brother.
-Thats fine.
When we had payed in advance
people dont come back.
Im sorry kid. No way!
-Maybe some extra hours for him?
He works really hard... I promise...
How much do you pay?
It would be just for the tips.
Were already full.
Get in line for next week.
How about cleaning onions?
Thats not my business.
Talk to the guys downstairs.
Thank you boss.
-See ya later kiddo!
For the tips, fucking pig!
What where you thinking when you told him
that I could clean the onions?
Thats how I started.
I dont want to cause you any trouble...
Otherwise I would have kicked
that motherfuckers ass.
Why is it always like that?
Breaking our backs for a few pennies.
You dont have to leave.
Ive told you Im paying
for the whole room.
So you can stay as long as you need.
Sujo, just look how youre living...
And then I think of
what happened to my brother...
Getting killed for so little.
Sometimes I start wondering
and I get crazy in the head.
Does that happen to you too?
-Yes.
Lets get drunk.
Lets go.
Fuck. Look at this...
Only 200 pesos.
Calm down!
This one has more money!
And the wallet is nice.
Im keeping it.
Come on...
Lets go for a beer.
What is it?
Its me, whos calling?
But is he alright?
Come in.
Over there.
Ill go get some covers.
So you are with my brother?
Youre still an attractive woman.
Get out of here!
Wheres the wallet?
Dont be an ass.
You are the one who brought me here!
Not for this!
Go get the speakers.
Stop being a pussy!
She is helping me!
She doesnt know you.
Did you tell her that your
father was a sicario?
These people don't give a shit about us.
Please, lets go.
Ill give you $2300.
Its okay, just give it to me
in $100 bills.
How much can you give us
for the cellphone?
You sure, bro?
$2000.
Okay.
The bus station is right ahead.
Okay, Ill go by myself then.
Thank you, Sujo.
I really needed help.
I knew I could count on you.
Dont let my mom know I was here.
You sure you dont want
part of the money?
Ill get over this...
And when I do Ill come
back to get you.
Jai!
Were you there,
when Jeremy was killed?
I was...
There you are you little pussy...
Ive been waiting for you...
Get in, asshole!
You cant even afford a pair of gloves.
Scumbag!
It's "no thanks" coming to the ring!
I didnt think you were coming.
Just look what happened
to your face!
Ill give everything back.
I swear!
You better!
I just need a few weeks.
Im getting two shifts.
How much money did you get?
$5000?
Hello Susan!
How are you, Esteban?
Thank you so much for your time.
I know you have a tight schedule,
so thank you.
This is Sujo...
I guess he doesn't know it.
But he's a very special young man.
Welcome, come in!
There you are!
What's your name boy?
Josue.
-Josue?
And whats the name of the horse?
His name is Sujo.
Sujo
You're the most beautiful thing I've seen.
To the orphans of this country in flames.
