You okay?
-What happened to your father? -He get put in jail?
Then why that face, brother?
I found out I have a sibling.
My dad is the father of Professor Rosario's daughter.
EVA LASTING
THE ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY, PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE STATE, EPISODE 09
Oh, but, Professor, I'm so ashamed about this.
-It's okay, Ana. -No.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is you discovered what happened
between your husband
and Professor Rosario.
This was such a shock for me.
I didn't know what to do.
I ran away.
I'm glad I came across you here.
How are you now? How are you feeling?
I don't know.
José and I always talked about having a girl.
And to learn now he has a daughter with Rosario…
I don't know. I don't know if it's something that…
that actually bothers me or not.
I don't know.
Of course.
Does he know?
He didn't.
He was terrified. He was more confused than Camilo and I together.
And the craziest part is that all of this is happening right now.
When he and I are in our worst moment.
I don't know if it's a sign.
A sign of what?
That the story of José and I is over.
We don't know.
But what I do know
is that coffee… heals the spirit.
Should we have one?
Let's go. But it's on me, Professor.
-Ana. -No, after all this?
-Oh. -You know what? A drink.
-That's what we should have. -I'm fine. Believe me.
Oh, what a day.
What a shitty conscience, right?
You think so?
Because maybe Professor Rosario manipulated everything
so she could come and claim that Mr. Granados has another child.
That's true.
And how could she know we needed a behavioral health professor?
Or get herself hired?
That's true.
It's just a coincidence, like in the soap operas.
What are you saying, Mother?
You two can't be together anymore
because you're siblings.
What? No, no, no, no! No!
But look, why show up after all this time?
Because your sister is older than you, isn't she?
Then it really is like the soap operas.
And Professor Rosario must have been tormented by guilt all these years.
And why guilt?
What do you mean "why"?
Because she stayed silent this whole time.
Yes, but has she told you why she did it?
No, but do you believe that, um,
that there's any valid reason to hide a child?
-But did she tell you? -No.
Everything turned out weird at that moment because…
Besides, my grandma told us…
Well, afterwards, everything turned to shit.
Well, if you don't really know, why are you judging her?
Besides, who are you to talk about guilt, Camilo?
Listen, Eva, do you think there would be a reason
for not allowing a son to know his father?
Professor Rosario is a very intelligent woman,
and she has her reasons.
Right, yes. Women are perfect, right?
To you, women are always right. They never make mistakes.
Men are to blame for everything that happens.
Now, wait a minute. Don't twist my words, Camilo.
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is
before you start judging and placing blame,
the least you can do is listen to her reasons.
Oh yes, that's easy for you to say
when things are not happening to you directly.
No, you're right.
Well, then I don't wanna listen to your opinion. Thank you.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
See you later.
Dumbass.
No, Camilo, it's not that.
I'm not taking Eva's side, but if you open a topic to discussion,
you can't get angry and treat her like that
after asking for her opinion.
But she gets on my nerves.
It drives me crazy that she always takes the women's side
just because they are women.
That's not what--
I know men have been shit since forever, but in this case, it's different.
I don't know why you're talking. You already left.
No, but I didn't want to.
-Hello, and please go to your rooms. -Hey.
No, no, no, no. Relax, stay.
Don't you say that we have to talk to young people,
and we shouldn't hide anything?
In that case, I'm back, and I won't leave again.
I don't know if she remembers,
but I built this house brick by brick and beam by beam.
You can say whatever you want, José. You and I have a deal.
And, for now, you're not coming back. I don't know if you ever will.
Really? Where should I go?
To your mom's.
Don't even mention her.
To a house where sin dwells in its maximum expression…
-I will never return. Never again. -"Sin"?
What's your mother afraid of, huh?
That I'll be a stick in the wheel of the embarrassing relationship she has?
No, José, you're not a stick in the wheel. However, you're a pain in the ass.
Even if I have to call the police, you'll be leaving.
-Then I'll have to sleep in the taxi. -Go for it.
I'll get my stuff.
Oh no. Hold on, Mom. What?
Where will Dad sleep?
With your grandma. While he's at it, he could settle things with her.
No. But listen, my dad is also right about one thing. This is his house too.
No, Camilo. I won't share my space with someone
who is capable of doing what that man did at the school.
Excuse me.
Hmm.
If my dad can't be here, I can't either.
Then you should go with him, Camilo. I won't force you to stay.
Okay. Luisa, come on.
No, Luisa stays here.
She's not going with you.
I'll let you know as soon as I get a place.
I'm coming with you, Pa.
But are we really going to live here in the taxi?
-No. -Oh.
-Let's go to your godfather's house. -At Pelos'?
Mm-hmm. We can stay with him.
Pelos was my godfather.
A godfather I never used to see.
A taxi driver and colleague of my dad.
He was single and the most disorganized man on the planet.
But we were lucky.
Because at that time, Pelos was out of town,
working at the beach, and he let us use his "palace"
to solve our housing problem.
-It's fine, right? -Mm-hmm.
JOSÉ MARÍA ROOT DISTRICT SCHOOL
It wasn't until about the 15th century
that love began to be an element that was considered
in the formation of the couple and the family.
Up until that point,
the function of marriage was primarily economic
and was centered on the education of children as a potential workforce.
-Yes, Camilo? -Thanks.
And that family system, what was it, Professor?
Father, mother, children?
Yes, nuclear family, it's called.
Did it work?
Um, considering its main objective,
yes, we could say it worked. Mm-hmm.
It did work, but based in an old system
where women always got the short end of the stick.
Here we go again with your feminist complaints, Samper.
Look, in these types of families,
men would leave the house to earn all the money,
while the women would stay at home in order to take care of the children.
So? What's the problem with that?
Well, this imposed a power relationship dominated by men.
This dynamic didn't end up serving anybody
because it didn't allow room for their relationships to grow.
Well, that is relative because I know many families
where women are the ones who make all the decisions, right?
-Of course! -Mm-mm. No, that's not totally true.
And if that's the case, what happens on the outside?
Oh, well, now you want women to make all the decisions also.
-What do you mean? Why not? -What do you mean "why not"?
You're very interested in the subject, and there are opposing views.
I'm going to propose something.
Let's have a debate.
No, Professor. Come on, please.
Camilo and Eva will choose a team, study the subject,
and tomorrow, they'll present in front of the class.
You deserve it, big mouth. Yeah.
I also want you to participate, Quiñonez.
Wait, you mean me?
There you go, big mouth.
Given that I see your opinion is closer to Camilo's,
then you'll team up with him.
No, no, no, Professor. Maybe Quiñonez prefers to work alone.
-It's okay. -Exactly!
My decision is final.
I wish you good luck with your research on the subject.
No, but how am I gonna team up with this guy?
You will work together. I'm sorry.
-Stop supporting this idiot, motherfucker. -Hey!
It's your fault for participating too much in class.
How difficult was it to stay silent and go unnoticed?
Well, okay. What's done is done. Who's with me?
Me, of course.
And me.
Oi, really, brother?
-You're a real motherf-- -So what, brother?
Anything but teaming up with Quiñonez.
Well, also, because I agree with Eva.
I felt I was getting betrayed by my best friend
and reacted like the caveman that was possessing me.
Isn't it something else, Arbeláez?
Could it be that you wanna impress someone?
What if that's the case? What's the problem, brother?
At least he doesn't deny it.
Not like "someone" who did so to make himself look good to Eva.
That's what I get, I guess.
Come on, come on. Let's not argue for no reason.
Let's save that energy for the debate.
Let's go to the library. I wanna get some books.
-Excuse us. -I'm so scared.
-Oh yes, we're so scared, right. -Look how I tremble. Oh, oh.
We should go do the same. Go and find material for the presentation
because she said that it's part of our semester grade.
Okay, let's go.
-Oh. -So.
We have to work together, so tell me what we have to do.
-Okay, after you. -Dumbasses.
This is the book we'll reference
because I think it's the best one on the topic.
Oh, Eva, isn't this too much?
I kind of know which chapters we have to read already, so don't worry.
Great. Tell me which chapters they are, and I'll write down the main points.
-Okay? -Great. Cool.
I can highlight the quotes we're going to use.
I'm ready.
I think that, more or less, we're going to need--
Well, then I'll be in charge of food and the coffee.
Modesty aside, my food is great.
Great.
-You'll find what you need in the kitchen. -Okay.
From the way they organized their presentation,
with the girls in charge of the research and Arbeláez in charge of cooking,
their group showed signs of discipline and cohesiveness.
In contrast, my team was interested in any other subject
but tomorrow's presentation.
That team of '61 reached the final of the Liberty Cup of America,
which used to be called the Cup of Champions.
That team was the best. The best I have ever seen.
They're a soccer machine.
Hey, can you guys just come here so we can prep for tomorrow?
Talking about soccer made me thirsty.
Who's going to get it? Who's going?
-Me. -Going alone?
No, but I'm going alone.
Bring me a receipt 'cause I know your tricks, kid.
Bring something a little stronger!
-I really like Mr. Granados. -Yes, yes, he's fine.
The way he beat up the philosophy professor.
Yes! You beat him good!
Yeah, he's my kind of guy.
-Yeah, bro. -Okay, come on, come on.
We don't have a lot of time.
-Shut your face, Granados. -Stop it. Go to sleep!
Dumbass!
The family thing has been solved for a while. Write this down, kid. Look.
What do you need? A man who's in charge of providing food.
A woman in charge of taking care of the home and the kids.
And the kids who have to respect and honor their parents. That's it.
For sure. That's what I'm talking about!
Those are wise words, Mr. Granados.
I can say it in the form of a poem. Look.
-Oh no, let's see. -A man's home is the world.
And the world of the woman is her home.
That's what I'm always saying! The man's a poet!
-You're a poet! -Listen to your old man!
Son, you're a smart man.
You can beat her in a second without burning the midnight oil, right?
-For sure. -Granados, learn from your old man.
You have to learn. You have to learn. Don't give in to her…
According to Charles Darwin's book
The Origin of Species,
in human evolution, there's something called
"natural selection."
And summarizing what Darwin said,
it means that only the strongest will survive.
Not necessarily.
In fact, the human species is a great example of this.
Without being the strongest species, they dominate the world.
Thanks to imagination and language.
The fact that it is the women who bear the children
and take care of them in their first years of life
always determines, in a natural way,
a pattern of roles that cannot be denied.
But it can be questioned.
In fact, that has always been the purpose of what is known as culture.
To mend those things that, by nature, are not okay.
You're making a value judgment, and you're assuming
that assignment of roles is incorrect, that it doesn't work. Why?
Because it's unfair to women.
No, no, don't generalize, Eva.
It's not fair for some women because there are many,
many others who are satisfied with their role as caretakers.
Of course.
The fact that civilization and culture have not been fair
and have not recognized the value of that role,
well, is a very different thing.
-Let's applaud our colleague. -Yes, sir.
-Well done, Granados. -My man.
The model of the nuclear family made the industrialization process possible.
It enabled economic and scientific progress
that solved many of the endemic problems of society.
And I still don't know
of any experimental couple that has ever worked out.
The fact that you don't know them doesn't mean they don't exist.
And the family that you are defending created new problems
that are probably even more serious than the ones it solved.
You can't deny that, thanks to industrialization,
women had the chance to get a decent salary, a paid job.
No, low-paying jobs, which is still the case.
Women's pay scales are so much lower than men's.
Am I right, Professor?
Just because the system has errors in its application
doesn't mean that it should be annulled. It's begging to be corrected.
Well done.
Yeah, Granados. Keep going, man.
-What are we going to say? Tell us. -Guys, I'll solve it.
Tell us what to do.
My conclusion…
-Well, our conclusion… -The conclusion.
…is that the nuclear family,
with well-defined roles or well-established roles,
is the ideal place for the process of socialization, education,
and strengthening of the individual.
Thank you very much. Thanks.
Your conclusion, Eva.
Take your time.
"The family unit that has been linked to civilization
and its overwhelming prevalence is monogamy,
the supremacy of man over woman,
and the individual family as the economic unit of society."
"But social evolution operates in direct correlation
to the progression of women's movement towards freedom,
while the decline of social order is directly correlated
to the decrease of women's freedom."
This book is called
The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.
It was written by Friedrich Engels in the 19th century
and sums up what our group thinks about the family model
that our colleague here is defending.
Is that what the group thinks or what you think, Samper?
-Yeah. -What the group thinks, asshole.
In many cases, the nuclear family is a place for abuse,
discrimination, inequality,
and an education model that promotes not freedom but dependence.
And so now?
An institution badly designed, based in the subjugation of women.
What? What's the solution, then? I didn't hear any solutions.
-Yeah, yeah. -So should we end the family, huh?
Essentially, at least end marriage based in monogamy
because it only exists for women because of maternity.
And many times, it is presented not as a cultural construction
but as a natural order.
You keep talking about destroying it. You keep talking about destroying it.
-To destroy, to destroy. -I haven't heard any proposal.
-I haven't heard anything. -At least one.
Three concrete proposals.
The substitution of marriage by civil union,
women's liberation through salaried and well-paid work,
and the socialization of domestic chores.
Thank you.
Congratulations, everyone.
You have all presented some excellent work today.
And you have also demonstrated
that a good debate requires both sides of the argument
in order to make a decision.
Your groups are going to get a very good grade.
Great, Granados.
And to everyone else, what you have just heard
should make you more open to the idea about the complexities of family.
Can you help me put the chair inside?
What? Would you deny we destroyed you?
Yeah, right. Of course.
Okay, Martín, stop.
But seriously, Eva's behavior was really weird. For real.
And what she said at the end was… just a tantrum.
-She can go fuck herself. -Ah, stop saying nonsense!
Eva was the one who destroyed me, but you are so dumb you couldn't notice.
There you go.
Come on, Arbeláez, bro. Shut your mouth. We all know you're a snitch and a traitor.
Yeah, Granados. After we helped you with your work.
I'm surprised about the "dumb" part.
What do you mean you helped me? You didn't do shit.
You just drank beer and talked about soccer with my father.
Now you're blaming your old man?
Oh, stop talking and eat shit. You did nothing.
Ugh, enough. I'm sick of all this nonsense.
And Granados is right.
That girl destroyed him.
But not because that girl is very smart. No, it's because you're dumbasses.
Ugh, leave, asshole. Go lick some boots.
Look, Samper, I didn't understand what you said in class,
but whatever it was,
I don't agree with it, okay?
Move.
Excuse me.
Camilo.
Congrats.
Even though I don't agree with what you said at the debate,
I must recognize that your arguments were… intelligent.
Do you see? The blondie says so.
That act of gallantry
was the final blow with which Eva finished disarming me
and crowned her victory.
They don't accept it because they are lazy.
Thanks, Nico. Put it on my tab.
Thanks.
Eva, look.
Well, it's a waste of time to keep lying to myself.
I agree with almost everything you said at the debate.
In fact, while you were talking,
I couldn't stop thinking about my family,
that, just right now, is ceasing to be a typical, nuclear family.
But
I love it like that,
whatever, whatever it becomes.
Hmm.
Then don't you think
that it'll be a good idea to patch things up with them?
There was no doubt that my return into the cave
these last few days,
in a desperate attempt to regain my relationship with Eva,
had reached its ending.
Now, it was time to get out of my head and face the changing times
that we were living in.
I talked to my mom and apologized for being
uncompromising and backwards the last few days.
She understood and ended our little quarrel with a loving hug.
That was the easy part of the job.
The hard part, as usual, would come from my dad.
So, you're going back to your mom.
-And with Luisa. -Hmm.
Don't you care that your mom has something with that professor asshole?
My mom isn't in a relationship with Professor Adolfo.
And if she was, well, we have to respect it.
-It's her private life. -Hmm. Perfect.
And I'm also going to respect that my grandma's with her… her friend.
That she's in a relationship with a… with a woman.
Wonderful, Camilo. Wonderful.
You should do the same, Pa.
Look, times are changing, okay?
And families have to start adapting to… to this change.
We have to begin to understand
that women have been the most harmed in the models of the traditional family.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Again with your story of times are changing.
No more! I'm fed up, Camilo. Hmm? Look.
Times are changing because people put in their heads
that they're changing.
And, therefore, end up changing.
-Hmm? -No worries. I get it now.
You allowed them to brainwash you,
and you're complicit in the immoral acts of this family.
Don't be dramatic. Try to understand just a little.
You're asking me to do the impossible, Camilo.
Like they say, "You live alone and die alone."
I have to accept that you betrayed me.
Anything else, sir?
-Well, yeah, it's not such a big deal. -I wish you well, then.
Better alone than in bad company.
CHECA MAGAZINE FOR ADULTS ONLY
It wasn't easy to end on those terms with my dad.
Especially after I had just been one step away from becoming his replica.
But I hoped that time would heal all of our wounds
and put everything right.
And so I asked Eva to accompany me on the last leg of my journey,
where the present and the past were leading me.
I'm sorry, Professor. We didn't call before coming, so sorry.
And who told you where I live?
Um, my mom
because she now has access to the professor's curriculum.
Well… she gave me the info.
The thing is, um…
I want to meet my sister.
The other day, we couldn't talk or anything.
And if you don't agree, it's fine. I get it.
Nevertheless, I'd like to, well, talk to her and meet her. I don't know.
It's fine.
Sit down.
-Thanks. -Thank you.
Janet!
Coming, Mom.
Hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
I see you.
And I see you don't look like me.
And siblings always look alike.
Yes, but…
But you're cute.
Thank you.
-You're also very cute. -Thank you.
And I'm not wearing makeup
…because my mom, Rosario, who's hovering…
…she doesn't like me wearing makeup at home.
I like your face.
Thank you.
But I'd touch it up.
Mm-hmm.
I'd love to get your advice.
Well, but that's going to happen another day
because this girl has homework.
What a bore, Mom.
Well, enough. Don't make a fuss. Say goodbye and get back to studying.
It's not easy to live with her.
-But there's no choice. -All right.
I'm happy to have met you.
Me too.
Take care of your girlfriend.
They're being stolen on the street.
-It happened to me once. Mm-hmm. -Oh! Really?
Janet!
Ugh! My mom is so annoying.
Is she?
Oh, well, we'll see each other later, okay?
Yeah, I'd like that. Sounds fun.
All right, me too.
But we have to ask my mom first.
Okay. I'll ask her.
-Goodbye. -See ya.
The day before had been full of emotion,
and the visit with my sister had touched my heart.
But the semester exams were coming, and those were always turbulent times.
The first one is Spanish, and then algebra.
Tests and more tests. Why the fuck do tests exist, huh?
-Relax, come on, dude. -Why do they torture us this way?
-What do you mean "torture"? -The bimonthly crisis.
No, you know what, brother?
I should drop out of school and think 100% about soccer
because studying is not good for shit!
Or tell me. Let's see.
What good is physics or chemistry or algebra to me?
Or all that, bro?
All I'm doing here is wasting my time
instead of training and practicing every day.
How many times a week have we heard the same thing?
Try it out to see if it's true.
Or have Willington Ortiz or Ernesto Díaz
been helped by all the garbage they learned at school?
Yeah, right?
Let's see. Answer this question, Álvaro. What's the maximum age of a soccer player?
Well, around 35.
Uh-huh. And after that, what?
-Well, that's when you become a coach. -And if you don't?
What if you're not successful there?
We need to have a plan B in life.
Yes, especially in your case.
God forbid you get hurt.
-You have to retire sooner than expected. -Sure.
No, come on. That sounds very tragic.
But there's a possibility, brother.
Don't forget Alejandro Brand.
Exactly. It must be taken into consideration.
But tell me what else I can do, huh?
It's just that physics or any of those subjects
don't make sense to me, not even a little bit.
I'm in the same boat.
I have an idea.
Let's get together and study in a group.
-You want to? -That sounds great.
What do you think?
It's to help you.
We have to.
-Camilo. -No, this isn't it.
-We also have to do that problem. -Camilo, look.
The headquarters of the study group was at my house.
Eva was in charge of Spanish, Arbeláez of algebra,
Luisa of chemistry, and I was in charge of philosophy.
We were working against the clock
as the final exams were quickly approaching.
Black coffee, Coca-Cola with aspirin,
and other magic formulas helped us stay awake.
These were the nights where we pulled together as family.
Nights that I remember with nostalgia and melancholy.
-Martín! -Martín!
Did you die in there or what?
I think he's playing dumb so he doesn't have to study.
I brought some warm milk and honey.
Remember, it's not good for you to drink so much coffee.
Thank you.
It would be a good idea for you to go to sleep.
You have to sleep.
The baby moved.
-Really? -Mm-hmm.
-Again. -Right?
That means that…
that it's getting comfortable.
It's fine.
Again! It's exciting.
You know, I feel that…
that the baby is happier when you're here.
If that's the truth, then I'm even happier.
What are you doing, Dad?
Can't you see?
I'm coming back to the house. I should have never left.
Why should I not be coming back?
What do you mean? Because of what we talked about at Pelos'?
To hell with that shit. Don't be dumb.
What about Mom?
Your mom and you can say whatever you want,
but I'm not moving from here.
Yeah. Great question.
Where's your mom? I don't see her.
She's at the movies.
I can imagine with who.
So she's living her crazy life, turning the house into Sodom and Gomorrah.
-Here you go again. It's so ridiculous. -Do you know what I just saw?
Arbeláez making out with Luisa, the girl you got pregnant.
That's an aberration! It's probably a mortal sin!
Why is that happening? Because your mom was careless. Yes.
Because your mom lost the responsibility as a mom and as an example.
What are you saying? This has nothing to do with them.
I already knew they were dating.
Uh…
Um…
I think it's best for us to get outta here.
Uh-uh.
Sir, we still have a lot left to study. We are not ready.
Oh, brother. This man is furious.
When we were outside, he didn't hold back.
Do you wanna go home with us?
-No. What about Mom? -You all need to leave!
-This is not a commune. -Dad!
I'm sure you're marijuana addicts. Disgusting hippies.
Go on. You're leaving now, go.
-We're all just studying for our exams. -Do you think I'm dumb, Camilo?
I know these people. They're lazy. You wanna convince me they're studying?
That they have common sense?
Hey, don't be like that. Seems extra. I thought we were friends.
I never said anything about being friends!
-Okay, get out of here! -No!
What's with the screaming?
What are you doing, José?
I live here, Mrs. Ana.
I talked to my lawyers
and they explained to me that I don't have to leave my own home.
Hmm. Unbelievable.
I will not allow you to set a bad example for the child.
Just when he is at the age where he has to learn values, customs, morals.
You have no idea what I saw, Mrs. Ana. An aberration.
Although I'm sure you can imagine what I saw, but you don't care.
Look, I don't wanna fight, José.
If this is how it's gonna be,
then I'll be the one leaving the house.
Where to? To your lover's? Aphrodite?
Not a bad idea.
Now what?
Luisa, you and I are going to Adolfo's house in Pablo Sexto.
I'm sure he'll take us in.
I don't know. I think that's too much.
No, we haven't even finished studying.
I won't offer my home. You know what it's like.
I can't offer mine either.
I can't show up to my house with Granados, and even less so with Luisa.
And my landlady doesn't allow anyone in.
Too bad. We'll have to cancel the study group.
No, no, no, no. We can't do that.
No, no. Relax, relax.
I have a solution.
He started yelling and kicked us out of the house.
He could see we were studying but wouldn't let us stay there,
so we had pretty much nowhere else to go.
That can't be. Your dad went too far.
Sometimes he behaves like a caveman.
Yeah. My mom had to go stay at Professor Adolfo's house.
Uh, but they're… but they're not… dating. Well, together.
According to my mom, they're just friends.
Well, but at the rate your dad is going,
he's the one that will make them go from friends to something more.
You think so?
Well, Grandma. Anyway, thank you for letting us study here in your house.
Oh no, Camilo. I'm happy that you and your friends are here.
I'll make you a nice meal in a little bit.
Thanks, Grandma.
Oh, and
I'll tell you something that could be of value, Camilo.
Lucero is a professor of mathematics.
Ah, great.
She could give us a hand, huh?
Of course. I'll go upstairs to tell her.
Thank you.
Oh, Grandma, one last thing.
So, um,
I wanted to tell you that I met my sister.
Mrs. Lucy is lovely. She treats me like her granddaughter.
Oh, that's good.
Camilo, can I ask you a question?
Yes, what?
Um,
is Mrs. Lucero your grandma's partner?
Uh…
Yes.
-Guys, we're in trouble. -What's going on?
The dumbasses Castro and the Acuñas are detained at the police station.
What? Why? Hold on. Hold on. Wait!
Faced with little progress with his studies,
Castro started looking for a plan B that would allow him to live
without sacrificing his career as a future soccer star.
So it was easy for the Acuñas
to recruit him for a new job using the parrot trick.
Unfortunately for Castro, things didn't turn out well,
as the elderly couple he robbed
turned out to be a couple of undercover cops
who were after the gang behind this ingenious form of robbery.
Place of birth?
Relax, nobody cares about your hair.
Don't you realize that if you continue on this path,
you're gonna be alone in life, José?
Like I said to Camilo,
rather be alone than bad company.
-Oh, you're so stubborn. -I'm not stubborn, Mom. I'm not stubborn.
It looks like nobody realizes how serious this is.
Last night, I came home
and found the girl who Camilo impregnated, making out with one of his friends.
Then I tell Mrs. Ana, and you know what she did?
She ran away to be with her lover.
Now, let's talk about you. Because frankly--
No, no, no, no!
Let me be in peace.
I don't need anyone to be questioning me.
And instead of seeing the sawdust in the other's eye,
why don't you see the plank in your own?
Or you think it's okay to learn you have a daughter
and react like you were struck by lightning?
Do you think this is the way a responsible man acts?
A good Christian?
You know what? Go.
Take a shower, get dressed
because I need you to run an errand with me
that may change your stubborn mind.
-Come on, José. -Yes, ma'am.
Yes, Mom, but try to understand. I had no other choice.
Because he was a minor, and it was his first infraction,
Castro was freed with just a warning, a mark on his record,
and a promise to his mom
that he'll be more responsible for his actions.
Um, agent.
Agent, hi. What happened to the Acuñas?
Are you their family?
Um, no. We're actually their friends from school.
Well, because your school classmates are re-offenders
and they have priors,
they will be transported
to one of the correctional facilities in the city.
There, I'm sure they'll be facing many years locked up.
Anything else? You want a coffee?
What are we doing here?
Be patient, José. Be patient.
It's your friend's house? If that's the case, I refuse to enter.
Don't be a child. Lucero is living with me in my home.
Hello.
-Here you go. -Oh, thank you.
I'm sorry we came unannounced.
No, relax.
This is becoming a custom in this house.
Mm.
We wanted,
if you agree,
to meet your daughter.
I don't think it's the right moment.
Mama, who are they?
But…
José!
I'm so sorry. He's going through some things.
What are we going to do?
We can't leave the Acuñas shit outta luck.
Yes, those guys have no one to vouch for them. No dad, no mom, no nothing.
Relax, I'm gonna go talk to my dad's lawyers.
If they were able to get him house arrest after he committed serious crimes,
well, then it's possible they could get the Acuñas out of jail.
Would they accept it? How are we going to pay?
No, no, no. Don't worry. I'll pay for it.
Hello.
What's up.
Um, I came to get some clothes.
Where are you staying, Camilo?
Mm, at my grandma's.
You can come back whenever you want… with Luisa.
I don't know. So you're more comfortable.
Um, thanks, but
I think we will stay at my grandma's.
I met your sister.
Wait, what?
Yes.
I didn't know how to react, Camilo.
There were so many emotions.
I felt fear. Tenderness.
Guilt.
With me,
with life,
with God.
Nothing like this has ever happened.
I didn't know if I had to say something
or to do something.
The only thing I did was run away, grab the cab, and come here to think.
Do you have five minutes, Camilo, to spare so we can talk?
Thanks, Eva.
Your dad's lawyers ended up being much more effective than our cash.
I hope this will help you to get on the right track, bros.
-Yeah. -Because next time, it'll be worse.
There won't be a next time.
That's the attitude.
Yeah, it won't happen again because we won't work with rookies.
Understand that, for us, this is just how it goes.
But why? You're stealing.
So what? Nobody's gonna die or go broke
if we steal a phone or a blender from them.
And shut your mouth, Granados.
Don't play dumb, okay?
Or did you forget that you helped us with a job?
No.
Are you being serious right now?
What? We live off this, and we're the best.
Sometimes, we even create jobs.
And there's the proof.
Well, yes.
No.
After the novelty of the controversial return
of the Acuñas wore off,
the first test arrived, which was the physics exam.
And it was also the first opportunity
to test the effectiveness of the study group.
Excuse me just a minute, Professor.
Will the following students,
William and Edgar Acuña…
Álvaro Castro,
please come with me to the principal's office.
I have never seen him like this.
He was all sad and remorseful.
He almost cried.
But what did he say? How did he react when he met her?
No, it was terrible because he ran away as soon as he saw her.
But why?
He wasn't capable of handling the situation.
José never changes.
-Hmm. What's up. -Hey.
-How'd it go? -Martín, how did it go?
Well, I think I got two wrong, but I'll just pass.
-Oh, but that's good. -That's good.
She expelled us.
Eva! Eva, you can't go in there like that.
You can't mix up the situations, Dr. Alicia.
What Álvaro, Edgar, and William did was outside of school hours.
Let me refer you, for the umpteenth time, to the school rules.
Clause 3, rule 11.
Let's see if you can perhaps understand…
I refer you to the provisions
that the Ministry of Education has on school districts.
Supposedly, you have to receive any student that wants and needs to study.
You said it yourself.
They must be received but not necessarily be kept.
Much less in the manner in which they have violated the regulations.
The Acuña brothers are repeat offenders. They have a record.
They induced a classmate to commit a crime.
Although, Mr. Castro did it on his own.
-They deserve another chance. -Pardon?
I said they deserve another chance!
It will have to be in another school.
-We won't allow this injustice to happen. -Oh yeah? What would you do?
A protest? Calling your friends from the newspapers?
I don't know. I don't know!
But this time, as I see the doors of dialogue are closed,
we'll come up with something.
Ready, Professor. Thanks.
-I'm sorry. I'm not in service. -No.
If you don't do something, you'll lose your wife,
and I will also lose Professor Adolfo.
-Do you remember me? -No.
I'm Sara Ordóñez.
From the library.
Uh, the librarian of the school.
Oh. Okay.
Do you have something with Professor Adolfo?
Yes.
Well, no.
We were working on it, and we were on a very good path
until your wife got in the way of it all.
So, what?
Aren't we going to do something?
You're not gonna allow this to happen, right?
You better put your cards on the table.
Are you going to confront her?
I'm with Eva. We can't allow this injustice.
Injustice. You say it's injustice, but I don't think it's that, brother.
Do we have to explain to you again why and how it is that we work?
Guys, you can say whatever you want, but what you do is stealing.
It's as simple as that.
Now, is that how it's gonna go, Rodrigo? You snitch.
Are we just gonna accept our fate?
No, wait. Of course not.
No, but this time, we will have to find another solution.
Dr. Alicia has gone too far, and we will need to be ready to fight.
I know we can find a way to answer to her so-called regulations.
