What?

This place is mine.

Everything around here is mine.

If you want to do something here...

Business... You have to pay.

Come to the village.

Ask for the Rolando brothers.

Everyone knows who we are.

All right.

All right.

Move forward, sissy!

Let's

What was that, Dylan?

What do they want?

What do you think they want?

They want money.

So guys, we just met the local thugs.

Don't worry, brother.

They'll forget about us.

Are you looking for someone?

Yeah.

I was looking for you.

Yeah, the truck really helped. Here.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Flowers! Thank you.

I'm Nick Brady by the way.

Maria.

Maria, that's a beautiful name.

Thank you.

Is this your house?

Yes.

Well, until the clinic is finished.

We do charity work

for poor communities.

That's great!

- Who is "we"?

- My uncle.

I work for him.

Oh! Uncle Pablo!

Yes.

Can I have a glass of water?

I'm really thirsty.

So what is it that you have

against yankees?

I'm so sorry, I was rude.

Yeah. You were very rude.

You were like...

"Are you going to import more

"jankees" around here?"

It's just that all of you foreigners

come here and think

you found paradise.

All I see is what is wrong with it.

Malnutrition, illiteracy, poverty...

A lot of people need help around here.

You could find more fulfilling ways

to live here if you wanted.

What do you mean?

I don't know...

I mean that surfing

is not the only option.

Who said I came here to surf?

You know my brother...

He lost his ability to surf.

But he always had this dream

of coming back and living here.

I just want to see him happy again.

Well...

I have to get up at five tomorrow.

That's early.

Thank you.

That was a great glass of water.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

You know it's a... It's kind

of a long walk back in the dark.

You're a big boy. You can do it.

Maria! You almost had it!

No Nick. I don't want to do this, ok?

I hate surfing, really,

you are a bad teacher.

I'm not a bad teacher, come on!

You're so close!

You almost had it.

I have to go! ok?

Oh you're killing me.

You're killing me.

Will you come?

- I don't know.

- Please say yes.

- Maybe.

- Yes.

- Yes, maybe.

- Yes or maybe?

- Yes, maybe. That's it!

- Ok.

Off you go.

I kill you.

You're gonna kill me?

Yes. You have to be there.

Special greeting

for the young people of this town.

I'm thankful

to all the people

who have helped

renovating this clinic.

This hospital...

This hospital

is but one small step

towards the life you deserve.

I'm proud

of my humble origins.

My family never had great means.

And we experienced

the same problems most Colombian

families are faced with daily.

I promise you...
