I 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 I do?

Julian would be better.

Julian's clumsy and violent.

Cheat,

deceive people.

I can't be the leader,

but I can help you.

- Hunt down a whore.

- What?

You know Mom hates that.

- It's forbidden.

- Forbidden?

Dad used to do it, didn't he?

Mom can't forbid us anything.

Now you're the leader.

Get a whore.

We'll dress her in my clothes

to fool Mom.

Well?

Tell Julian to come.

What's up?

Sabina says to go...

From now on,

you're going to obey Alfredo.

You'll get to eat

a whore bite by bite...

Just like Dad.

Let's get a whore.

What?

Not afraid of Mom anymore?

No.

We must get someone by tomorrow.

Looking for me?

- Who else?

- Yeah?

- What's the deal?

- Let's go, ok?

Let's go.

No way, honey.

That's more expensive.

When has money been a problem?

It's no problem for you,

you're loaded.

So let's go.

No, let me go.

Let me go.

Don't be an a**hole!

Let me go!

Julian, what are you doing?

Hurry up!

Come on.

Leave her!

Let's go, Julian!

Shut her up!

You're such a loser!

What should I do?

Kill her?

Calm down, Julian!

Cool it!

- What's wrong with you, Julian?

- What do you mean?

What do I mean?

There's a whore in the trunk!

I'm getting food for tomorrow.

Food?

You beat the sh*t out of her

in front of everyone.

At least they don't die

in my arms.

You think you're really tough?

I'm not afraid of you.

You should be.

Sabina's with Mom.

A whore?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you both think you are?

- She's not a whore...

- I'm not an idiot.

So what if she is a whore?

We have to prepare her.

If you scream again,

I'll tear your eyes out!

No! Don't kill me.

Please don't hurt me!

You can rape me.

You can both f*** me.

Do whatever you want to me.

Let me go.

So today's your lucky day?

Don't play dumb.

Think I didn't see

the finger in the jar?

The nutcases at the morgue

gave it to you, right?

You think they called you

so you could solve the case?

Think you're the first ones

those nuts called?

They called everyone before you.

You're just a fifth-rate cop.

And stop reading that file.

You look ridiculous.

Do you have any idea

what would happen

if we broke this case?

The money we'd make?

We'd even meet the President

in his fight against crime.

You have a lot of courage

to lead the family, no?

- It's just that...

- You shut up!

Do you want to go whoring

like Dad?
