The Road of Life Page #2

Don't play around. The ones you have.

Are you saying you weren't paid for all the washing you did yesterday?

And how do you think I bought our food today?

You already cleaned me out, you want money but you won't work.

There's the engineer sending messages over and over to you every day so you go to the building site...

but no way, you must inevitably go with your buddies to the store.

And what the hell do you care?

You scolding me is the last straw.

Bring what I'm asking for.

Don't you see that I have to go pay for the other rounds?

And where am I supposed to get it? Didn't I tell you I spent it all on food? I have nothing.

Well, give me what you have hidden, don't think I hadn't noticed.

No, not that!

There it is. And you said you didn't have any?

I'm going use it. Give it to me!

I said give it to me!

I'll teach you to obey your man!

Give me the money!

I won't even if you kill me!

This money's for my children's books!

Give it to him, mom, give it to him, so he'll stop hitting you!

So you won't give it to me, huh?

Is he dead?

I don't know, my son, I don't know.

Now, what could have happened?

Oh, that kid, he's taking ages to bring the cop!

Would to God that nothing bad has happened!

Why don't we go see?

Come on!

Alas, poor Jonah!

Excuse me.

This man is dead. Call the ambulance.

Will you tell me who killed him?

It was me, officer. I killed him.

Lady, I have to take you to the station.

Arrange the most you can while the ambulance gets here.

Not true, sir, not true! It wasn't my mom, it was me!

Let's see, let's see, what's with you? What did you do?

Don't believe him, it's not true what he's saying!

It was me, sir, it was me!

It wasn't the child, don't believe him!

Counselor Gutierrez.

Counselor Gutierrez.

Excuse me, Doctor, I was distracted.

At your command.

They say Luis, the kid from that record, is ready to make his statement.

Do you want us to go talk to him before he starts?

If you don't mind, Doctor, I'd like to do it.

Well, Counselor, on the contrary. I want to show you several things.

The boy's in the hospital. Let's go.

After you.

Good morning, Conchita.

~ Good morning, Doctor.

~ How did this child spend the night?

Pretty calmly, but he's been crying a fair amount.

And my mother, sir? Have they done something to her?

Calm down, son, your mother is fine and nothing's happened to her.

Look, Luis, don't think about what happened.

Neither your mother nor you are to blame for what happened,...

therefore nothing will happen to you.

No, she wasn't at fault!

My stepfather beat her all the time, so I hit him.

It was me, not her.

Look, kid, even if you did it you're not here to be punished. Don't cry.
