Get away!
''We Are What We Are''
Mom's looking for you.
Your father hasn't come home.
You're going to have to open up.
What are you waiting for?
What about Sabina?
Sabina will stay here and fix the clocks.
Cut it out!
ls my watch ready?
Good morning, could you tell me...
Don't tell me you don't have it!
Your father promised it to me three weeks ago.
Could you tell me which one's yours?
lt's a gold Mido.
What are you laughing at, punk?
Julian!
Sabina!
Sabina!
That's the second time, kiddo.
Where's your old man?
He owes me for weeks. You're way behind!
He won't be long.
No, l think you'd better take your shit and go!
Come on, asshole! Go for it!
Pack up your shit or l'll throw it out!
Now what?
''Now what?''
What do you mean? What are we going to tell Mom?
The truth. They kicked us out because Dad didn't pay the bill.
No, they kicked us out because you're always fighting!
Don't defend him.
They kicked us out because he didn't pay.
lt was your fault.
They kicked us out because Dad spends all day with whores.
What are you doing here?
What happened, Alfredo?
We got kicked out of the market.
What?
They changed managers. Someone else is fixing watches.
Julian come here!
- Now what? - What happened?
- l told you, Mom. - l'm not asking you!
The damn woman went berserk!
What did you do?
Nothing, we were working and she kicked us out.
- Right! Just like that! - Yes, just like that.
The only job your father can do
and you blow it!
We didn't do anything.
Do you think l'm dumb or what?
Who took my key from the flower pot?
They told me someone died at the mall...
The man who looked at the mannequins.
Dad's dead!
Damn his addiction to whores!
Those bitches killed him!
Bitches!
What are we going to do?
Are we going to carry on?
- We have to go on as usual. - We can't go on without Dad.
Don't talk bullshit!
We have to, Alfredo.
We have to get something for tomorrow.
What are we supposed to do?
Mom locked herself up in her room.
Dad is lost.
Dead.
Dad is dead.
- How do you know? - Didn't you hear what l said?
lt could be anyone.
Did they confirm it?
- Who? - The people from the mall.
Who are they? How do you know them?
You're out of it.
Remember who you're talking to.
lt can't be.
We have to wait for him.
No, he'd have been home by now.
You act like you're glad.
- Shut up, asshole! - You shut up, you stupid shit!
There's nothing.
You'd better find something.
From now on, it's up to you.
Mom... Are you ok?
What shall we do?
Mom?
Whatever happens, we have to get something.
We have to go now.
We've never done it in the daylight.
lt can't be that hard if he did it.
Don't talk about Dad like that!
- Shut up, faggot! - Stop it.
Let's go to the corner.
- Mom won't like that. - lt's the easiest.
No. Too risky.
Why not go to the bridge?
We have to get something by tomorrow.
Then we can figure out what to do.
What are you waiting for?
You're the one who has to do it.
Damn, Tito!
Over the years, you've become a master!
Yeah, my technique's improved.
Look,
l'm giving him texture, color, covering up the scar...
You have to... you know?
You have to be a fucking artist.
But don't put too much effort into this one.
We're cremating him.
What?
Fuck! Why didn't you tell me?
l wouldn't have made the asshole up so nice.
God rest his soul!
Nobody respects my work around here.
Why didn't you tell me? You...
Why didn't you tell me?
Why did you send for us?
l thought this would interest you.
What?
A cold one?
Not a cold one.
This guy came in from a mall.
He died of poisoning.
l did a spectacular job on him.
First-rate job.
Don't you think?
l performed an autopsy
and found something very interesting.
You've no idea how many people come in here chewed up.
lt's shocking how many people eat each other in this city.
ln the reports they blame the rats.
But it's the two-legged kind.
''One night, a city rat...''
Well, this old man isn't going to be eating anyone else.
What good is he to us?
You could investigate who he ate.
We don't solve old cases.
What's more, we don't solve new ones either.
But this case will make us famous, make us rich!
Us? Sounds like a crowd to me.
But thanks for the trinket.
All these assholes are the same.
They just go on forever.
- Wait. - What?
We have to do something or we're screwed.
Wait until it's quieter.
No, we can't wait.
You know what happens
if we don't have someone by tomorrow?
Julian!
- Help! - Julian!
Let's go! Let's go!
Get him! Get him!
What happened?
lt's Mom.
What did you do?
We went to get someone.
What?
Are you idiots?
Your father dies and you go out hunting?
You put the family at risk, Alfredo.
We did it for the ritual.
The ritual?
What do you know about the ritual?
lf you knew so much, you'd know what comes next.
We have to pick a leader.
That's next.
Next we start shaking, because we're going to die.
Do you know what Mom meant?
We have to get something for tomorrow.
You're the oldest, Alfredo.
You must take Dad's place.
And if l don't want to?
lt's not about wanting.
You're the most capable...
the most sensitive...
the most balanced.
l couldn't even catch a kid.
According to what Dad taught us, you're the next one.
You have to keep the ritual going
and lead the family.
l can't.
You have to, Alfredo.
Mom loses her temper.
- She puts us at risk. - Mom always knows what to do.
Yeah?
She's still locked in her room.
We're in real trouble and she does nothing.
Just scolds you all the time.
Alfredo, look at me.
Look at me!
No matter what, we have to continue.
And what should l do?
Julian would be better.
Julian's clumsy and violent.
Cheat,
deceive people.
l can't be the leader,
but l can help you.
