Why did he want me dead?

I've done nothing to him.

Doesn't make sense.

I just wanted to go to the beach.

Hey, hot stuff!

I've never been to the beach.

I lived on the beach. I was born there.

What was it like?

It was beautiful.

Far away from here...

Perfect water. You can see the fish.

You never go hungry there.

Make money fishing.

Life there is fair.

I'm going to move back -

you should come with me.

Sounds great.

If you don't have a pass,

you don't get in...

We have to wait in line.

Are you sure this is Santos' house?

Yeah, I saw it on TV.

What's going on here?

What's going on here?

Just picking fruit.

Are you armed?

You're crazy, jumping

onto private property.

Scram.

Shut those dogs up right now!

Do I have to do everything myself?

Crazy woman.

Get down.

If Mrs Santos catches you, she'll kill you.

You picked a terrible time to drop in.

What's going on?

Good morning.

You speak my language?

A little.

Thanks for the visit.

I hope it wasn't too traumatic.

What's your name, kid?

Who gave you my name?

What's your scam, punk?

What's with all the security?

Something important was

stolen from the boss.

Was it a wallet?

He wishes.

You think you can fit

10 million in a wallet?

Who stole it?

His name is Jose Angelo.

The boss's right-hand man.

F***ing destroyed him.

Can you give me a hand?

I saved your ass.

Go get the bags on the lawn.

I have a message for you.

From Jose Angelo.

How do you know this?

It was in a letter we

found, he wrote to you.

What did he say?

Do you have the letter here?

No - it's here.

I memorised it.

Tell me.

It read like this:

Dear Sir,

I haven't written in a long time,

but I think of you always.

I have something important to tell you,

in the words you once spoke to me:

Soon, the devil who put

you behind bars will be chained,

his corruption and lies all exposed.

Your struggle was not in vain.

I promise.

Santos will be finished and, God willing,

he is only the first domino to fall.

Your fight against the corruption that

destroyed our dream for justice goes on.

Even now people flood the streets, fanning

the flames of hope that you helped ignite.

Change is coming.

But with joy comes sorrow.

If you are reading this,

it means I've been taken.

And they will not be merciful.

But the dream you passed to me

is passed to new generations.

I'm sorry for being a burden -

you have suffered so much already.

This letter has the secret -

it seals our enemy's fate.

Do what must be done.

I pray for you, and for my daughter Pia

and for all who fight for our people.

How did Jose do it?

You're nosy.

Just tell us.

Ok, this is the fun part.

You won't believe it.
