- Aye.

Just give him a run out.

That's all I'm asking.

If I say yes. Can I go back to sleep?

Yes. Mr Dornhelm.

Then yes. Mr Foy.

- Santiago.

- Hey.

- How are you doing?

- Fine. Thank you. Why are you here?

Your coach told me where to find you.

Who's this?

The man from England

who watched me play football.

If you get yourself to England.

Newcastle United will give you a trial.

Newcastle United?

- That's a big club.

- A very big club.

What is this bullshit?

You think you are going to

play football in England?

He thinks I'm good enough.

Why you fill him with ideas like this?

Who the hell do you think you are?

And you. Why don't you keep your feet on

the ground instead of your head in the sky?

It's a big thing you ask. Senor.

He's supposed to fly halfway

across the world on something you say?

The manager's made me a promise.

He'll give him a trial. The rest is up to him.

- Look in my eyes and answer me this.

- Grandma.

Can Santi make it as a professional?

Aye. I believe he can.

Dad. We've gotta go. If the freeway's busy.

You're gonna miss your flight.

Here's my card.

It's all my numbers.

Think about it. Give me a ring.

It's good to meet you.

Good to see you.

You got enough?

- Enough what?

- Everyone knows the money's in the boot.

So are you going?

- Grandma thinks I should.

- What does Dad think?

I haven't asked him.

How far away is England?

Right now?

Go back to sleep.

Now.

There?

Thanks.

How could you do this. Dad?

I paid 4500 for the truck.

I took 1200 of yours.

But I'm giving you half the business.

That's a good deal.

You stole that money.

Stay out of this. Mother.

You knew what it was for.

- Two more weeks and I have enough.

- For what?

To chase a stupid dream?

Big-time ballplayer in England.

Come on. It's bullshit.

And when you fail. How are you

gonna come back with no papers?

One chance. And you think I should

just give it up for what you do?

What I do is take care of my family.

In Mexico. I work construction.

At night. I clean up in a brothel.

But I save enough to bring us to America.

And when your mother walk out on us...

No. When she walk out.

- I hold this family together.

- Leave her out of this.

I make enough for this house

and now we have our own business.

That's how things get better.

That's how you measure a man's life.

It's your life.

Not mine.

Gavin.

Gavin. Gavin.

Ladies and gentlemen.

This is a very good day for the club.

Gavin is a very gifted player

and should fit in very well

with our set-up here at St James' Park.

I'm very pleased to present him... with this.

Winning the league's out of sight. Erik.
