We haven't seen you in a while.

Tomas, Jairo can't stay here.
Why's that?
After 2 months on the streets,
look at him. You cant kick him out.
Wheres my baby?

You know...
all the cuts you see around here
come fro m up north.
the Jersey, the Co by...
they' re all from up north.
there was this guy.
who shaved an S on his head
the first letter of his wife's name
And every time he cheated o n her.
he'd put a cross through it.
He wound up with a tribal cut
full of crosses.
His wife found out about it.
l don't know how.
She aI'most shaved his head.
then was this other guy...
He had these dreadlocks...
When he got out of his car.
they dragged on the ground.
l' m not lying !
He could wrap his locks
around his fist.
Once, he fell asleep at a party
and they cut his locks, bro.
Some guy to ok the clippers
and left him bald.
And you know what happened?
He hung himseIf.
When he woke up and saw himseIf.
he went into the bathroom
and everybody saw
he'd hung himseIf.
You need some clippers man.
I'll teach you some cuts.
and some designs...
and some designs...
you've never seen.
l haven't seen them
around here, anyway.
there you go, bro.
Real bad.
- How much do l owe you?
- 7 grand.
Wasn't it 5 last time?

Maybe I'll come back next weekend.
Dont wait a year, prices go up!
So. what do you say?

I did myseIf.
You can use them for hair designs
if you like them.
theyre great man.
What do you think, Danny?
these lines are all over the place!
You only ever want to do
your stuff!
You just have to learn
to make the lines wider.
Because the machine.
It makes the lines wider, see?
So. make them wider.
turn it on and get a feel.
You turn it on here.
It really vibrates!
Of course it does.
Let me see how you shave.
on your arm.
Not too close or it'll cut you.
And dont hold it like that.
Hold it like this.
to tell you the truth bro,
l don't like the white neighbourhoods.
We had a deal, right?
that deal
is starting to cost me money.
Lets get out of here, man.
Were not going to find him here.
Relax. man.
Lets take a look upstairs.
We look stupid. man.
- Can we help you?
- Were just having a look, bro.
If we cant help you.
perhaps youll help us by leaving.
Why would we leave?
We aren't doing anything.
Lets go.
l cant believe tho se guys!
theyre just paid watchdogs...
After all these years.
you still Don't see were the dogs?
CaIm down,

See what l mean?
Piece of cake, right?
Want to take over a while?
Just a little while.
What do you mean a little while?
l came for you to cut my hair.
Hell take over a while.
If anything goes wrong.
I'll fix it for you.

Youll fix it, right?
Design and the cut, all included.
Ok. then.
You better be good, kid.
Go ahead, Don't be scared.
Be careful. man!
Relax, buddy.
Don't hold the blade like that.
Lighten your grip and come down
easy so you don't cut him.
You know what, Nelson?
What?
You should give me a job.
Slow down, bro.
You know I'm a fast learner.
What I need is more customers.
not more barbers.
Lighten up a little.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
l saw you looking at shampoo
in the shop.
I don' t like anybody following me.
Nelson finally lent me the clippers.
Don't mess it up.
I'll give you a cut if you want.
Start by evening it out.
Leave it a little higher in the back.
Leave room for the design.
What crazy shape
are you making him?
You go in with the clippers
like this.
So you finally remembered.
We have to keep saving.
Whats this then?
See you, baby.
take care of yourseIf!
Kisses!
Whats up?
they found him.
Hes resting.
the doctor says
it was just a scratch.
this kids lucky. Mom.
Tomas, we have to talk.
Since you've abandoned me.
l need you to take care of Jairo.
No problem.
If you hadnt listened
to your security guard.
Jairo wouldn't be here.
How dare you
speak to me like that?
I've always tried
to get him out of trouble.
But he's constantly
roaming the streets.
Doing drugs.
Have you forgotten
thats where were from?
I want to forget
everything that happened to me there.
Window Number 4.
Can I pay over there?
Hello ,
I'd like to release Jairo Diaz.
Doctors authorisation.
his medical insurance and his lD.
He doesn't have an lD.
How can I release him without an lD?
Fill out this form
so I can release him.
tomorrow we can get him settled.
He looks like you.
Just a little more beat up.
What time did we say, bro?
Eight oclock, right?
Look what time it is.
Nelson. l had some family trouble.
With those guys from La Playa...
Are you concentrated or not?
We all have problems.
If you show up late every day.
its not gonna work out.
Did you bring the drawings?
these are the ones.
Now go sweep up.
See, I was with this guy
who was all in my face.
the police showed up
and arrested us.
they hauled us off
to some juvenile jail.
- Are you listening?
- Relax. I'm listening.
three days later,
there was a big storm at 3 am.
We jumped the wall and ran home.
Chaco, l wanted to talk to you.
Why don't you take off first
with Jairo?
What do you mean?
l can make enough
money at the barbershop
to catch up with you soon.
What are you talking about?
think its some kind of game?
You wouldn't even make it
to the dock on your own.
You dont know
the insides of a ship.
You have no idea.
But you've explained it all to me.
Don't you think?
Are you serious?
Get serious, man.
I'm no kid.
Remember our deal.
l know we have a deal.
but I'm not leaving without Jairo.
Youre just another liar. man.
Jairo ,what are you doing here?
l' m styling my friend
so she'll look pretty
for her boyfriend.
You ought to be at home.
Come on, let's go home.
I'm bored at home, bro.
I feel like a dog, all locked up.
Come with me,
I'll show you a great place.
Wanna co me?
OK, but then were going home.
Follow me, then.
You're just gonna leave me like this?
Cool, huh?
Imagine having this car at the beach.
We'd score with all the girls.
Not with this ugly car.
Remember the day we went fishing?
the weird fish
that screamed like girls?
- Remember?
- I sure do.
And I remember
the day I was fuming mad.
I jumped in the river
and started to swim across...
when this milk can
came floating.
I was hungry,
so I tried to grab it.
Mom started shouting:
Jairo
l was about to grab the can.
And she yelled Jairo, no!
And right when I got out.
the can blew up.
And all this foam stuff came out...
and I watched where it was floating.
Remember the river?
Let' s say this is the river...
and over here is our house.
the guys in boats
came down this way.
the paramilitariess got out here...
and this is where they killed Dad.
Look, a security guard.
It's that fucking Roel!
Roel! You son of a bitch!
Hes still moving.
Glad I Don't have to see
that asshole anymore.
thats your first cut man!
I'll do your beard for free!
Wheres my blue trimmer?
Somebody stole it...
I saw Tomas with it last.
Stop talking shit.
I left it on the table.
I didn't steal the trimmer.
I'm just kidding.
I'm giving you 100,000 pesos
to buy clippers.
I'm trusting you. ok ?
You wont regret it. Nelson.
And you, always making trouble!
Just lend me your trimmer!
Wheres Jairo?
Have you seen this kid?
Don't show me that picture!
He already killed my husband!
l don't want to see it ever again.
Why are you looking for this kid?
Let me see that.
Do you know this guy?
- Who is it?
- Come on, speak up!
Hes my brother.
this asshole owes us big time!
Are you gonna pay us
what he owes?
- How much is it?
- 120,000 pesos.
What do you have here?
Come on, speak up.
Are you paying or what?
Pay up and I'll take you to him.
Whats up, Tomas?
Everything cool?
Why the long face?
How did it go buying the clippers?
Nelson. actually...
l had a problem and l had to use
the money for the clippers.
l don't believe it.
l trusted you, gave you money
and you let me down.
l cant take it anymore, Tomas.
this is not gonna work.
the dealers gave me another chance.
Another chance?
You think its ok
to ruin everybodys life?
You're ruining your life yourself.
l never told you
to come looking for me.
You're prepared to kill yourseIf
for this shit?
Dont smoke that.
Dont smoke it !
Do nt smoke that!
take it.

lt takes me out of this hole.
and back to Buenaventura.
Come on, the bastards are close.
I'm staying here.

Don't you realise
l saw them kill dad.
Come on, lets go!
Fuck off! I'm staying.

and I'm afraid.
And I ask the Lord.
