Tigers, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

(MAN) Where are you?

We're here.

- Ah, very good, Estrella.

And Antonio?

Here.

- Antonio, how are you? Good.

Come on, we're going to play a game,

okay?

I'm going to throw my watch in the water.

First one to grab it gets

a prize, whatever prize they want.

We don't know how deep

it's going to fall.

No jumping in before it's time,

eh?

One, two, into the water!

(ANTONIO) Estrella, come on, get up,

it's 8:00.

What time did you go to bed last night?

Leave me alone.

(ANTONIO LAUGHS)

f*ck off!

- Look what I caught.

Did they find the bodies yet?

- I don't know.

Did you tell Gordo

my idea about the pig?

What pig?

- The one for the swamp.

Yeah.

- What did he say?

What's up, Tiger? What a beast, huh?

Hey.

- Everything good?

Good. Forget about the pig thing,

it's nonsense.

- Antonio!

- Let's go, Antonio!

- Come on, Antonio!

- Tiger!

Run!

- Come on!

Go, go!

- Let's move!

Let's go!

Come on, Antonio!

- Keep going!

That's enough, Gordo.

- Captain, go back.

Have you had breakfast?

No, but look,

I brought you a snack here.

Here, go on, eat breakfast.

You can't work

on an empty stomach.

What's wrong, Estrella?

You haven't even started working

and you're already tired?

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

And this?

- Hold on, don't touch.

That's for the Filipinos,

because of the delay.

What delay?

You're welcome, my friend.

-Jos.

Jos.

- Yeah, yeah.

(ANTONIO) What's up?

- Nothing. Come with me.

-Come on, we'll head over there.

Listen up, gentlemen.

Today, we have the one from Cyprus.

It's carrying over 100,000 tons

of oil.

It's going to be unloading for 26 hours.

We have to take good care of it.

We have to fix the non-return

valve.

Before lunch it needs to be releasing

crude or we won't make it, okay?

Cano, are you done

with the quinoa yet?

The tofu.

- Same thing.

Come on, suit up. Richar.

- Again, Gordo?

Do you want to get paid

at the end of the month?

- Of course.

Again?

Come on, let's get in the water, gentlemen.

-Estrella.

Look, I took this down yesterday.

They're... they're two welded carts.

I'm making a reef.

In two months, it'll be full of fish.

Are you going to place them?

- (LAUGHS)

If you want to repopulate the ocean,

change jobs.

And you?

It's not going to work.

- Why not?

Because iron rusts quickly,

especially if it's as thin as that.

Fish have a memory.

When they return to spawn,

there won't be anything there,

just algae, and they'll leave.

Nico, your phone.

- Yeah.

Here.

(GORDO)

I'm closing your main line, Cano.

(CANO) "Okay, Gordo."

Did they find the bodies yet?

- Nothing.

The family is desperate.

They've offered a reward.

How much?

I don't know, but it's normal. They've

been looking for them for two weeks.

You have an open main line,

Cano.

Are you ready?

(CANO) "Let's go."

Come on, in the water.

- "Okay."

Going down with gas mixture three.

That swamp is impossible.

You saw what happened to Chincheta.

Whose idea was it to send

Chincheta?

He was the only one who dared.

- Nobody called me.

They say he was sick.

With what?

- Who knows.

He's been a diver his whole life.

This profession gives no warnings.

He stayed down there.

Probably got lost, ran out of

air. God knows.

Tell the Civil Guard

to throw in a pig.

Where?

- In the swamp, where the car fell.

A pig for what?

(RICHAR) "Gordo, we're leaving the bottom."

What are you talking about? You just

went down. (RICHAR) "No way, no way."

Richar!

- "There's no way to work down there."

Richar!

- "Whoever wants to can go down."

What's wrong?

- There's too much current, it's dangerous.

Of course it's dangerous, that's why you

get paid. Where did you learn to dive?

Head back down. That part needs

changing and we're already late.

I'm not going down there, Gordo, no way.

- Me neither.

100%.

- "What are the divers doing up there?"

Just a moment, Captain Lozada.

Do you know how much every minute

that crude is sitting there is worth?

Do you know how many companies

want this?

We have the Dutch right on our tails.

I'll go down, Gordo.

- Relax, Nico, relax.

Come on, Gordo, I'll suit up.

- Yeah, you go down, Antonio.

Going to pay these b*stards'

mortgages.

Nico, you're coming with me.

Let her go down, I'll go down next time.

- You, you need to learn.

Nico, follow me.

- Yeah.

Do what I do

and don't let go, okay?

Yeah.

(ANTONIO) Go down the other tube

of the loading buoy, Nico.

(NICO) Okay, Tiger.

(ANTONIO) Now, heads up.

Down here the current

is stronger, okay?

(NICO) I can't see anything, Tiger.

(ANTONIO) Take it easy.

Look for somewhere to hold on

and keep moving.

(NICO) Okay, yeah.

(ANTONIO)

Gordo, we're at the bottom.

(NICO)

Tiger, I lost my tether!

Tiger, Tiger, the tether!

- Tighten Nico's umbilical.

(NICO) I lost it!

- Tighten Nico's umbilical.

(GORDO)

"What's going on? Where is Nico going?"

(ANTONIO) Calm down.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I can't move.

I'm coming for you.

Give me slack on the umbilical, Gordo.

(GORDO) "Give him slack."

(ANTONIO)

Pull in the umbilical now.

(GORDO) "Pulling it in."

"Let's go."

Another turn, Nico.

(GORDO) "Come on, Tiger. The oil industry

is going to thank you."

(ANTONIO)

I'm sending the part up to you, Gordo.

(GORDO) "Send it, Antonio.

I'm going out to receive it."

Open it up and let's check.

(GORDO) "Copy that."

"Let's do the check."

Good.

Impossible, right?

It took a good hit,

but nothing major.

(GORDO) "Show it to me clearly

and we'll record it for the captain."

"What's up, Tiger? I see iron."

- "Nothing to see, Gordo."

Gordo, did you see what's down there?

- Down where?

Turn them over, they smell.

- In the vent,

inside the pipe.

- I didn't see anything.

You didn't either, right?

- No, I didn't see anything either.

But it's the third time I've seen it,

and all three times on the same ship.

Whatever it is, it's just passing through,

better not to get involved.

I don't want to risk my life

or my job.

I live very comfortably from this,

you know?

Kid, pass it to me, it's drying out.

What are you drawing?

- Nothing.

Thanks.

- You're on watch on the oil tanker.

Yeah.

Have you eaten yet?

- I haven't finished.

Well here, have another,

you're still growing.

Hey, Tiger, thanks for

earlier. I was freaking out.

You owe me a beer someday.

- Sure, alright.

Look. Make it with concrete

bricks, they last longer.

But with this shape.

I've also put some videos

and websites on here for you.

I think they'll be useful.

- Thanks.

You're welcome.

(Text messages)

f*ck me!

- What's wrong?

(WOMAN) Come in.

(ANTONIO) Good afternoon.

- Come in.

Sorry, eh? I was working.

No need to sit down,

we were just finishing up.

It's the only thing you have to do

when the girls sleep over,

bring them to school and make sure

they get inside.

Come on, Cinta, it's four

blocks, a hundred meters.

I used to walk two kilometers.

They should know how to get there by now.

Well they don't, you heard her.

- And they're not going to learn.

They are little girls. What's the rush?

Something could have happened to them.

You just don't get it.

- Hi, dad.

Hi, Mara.

And that scooter?

It goes pretty fast, right?

Did you mod it?

Hi, Estrella.

Come on, sweetie, wait for me outside.

I'll be right out, okay?

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

- Okay.

I'm going to report you, Antonio.

What?

You haven't paid child support

in years,

or you give me practically nothing. I can't

take it anymore, this isn't fair.

I can't wake up

fearing what I'm going to find.

Here.

- What is this?

Meagre, I caught it.

The girls like it.

Cinta, can I give you a ride?

(WOMAN) "Hi, I'm Marisa Ruiz,

director of the Vigo

Marine Reserve."

"How are you?"

- Good.

(MARISA) "Have you ever been

to a marine reserve?"

No, never.

(MARISA) "Nobody would guess by looking

at your project. Congratulations."

"The development, the presentation,

the technical level,

it looks like it was done by an expert."

"What is your diving level?"

My father was a diver.

I've been diving my whole life.

"Can you dive with that?"

- With what?

"The hearing aid."

I can submerge up to 20 meters.

And your whole reserve is at 17,

I have 3 to spare.

"Your resume says

you finished your degree

seven years ago."

"You were working in the Canary Islands

three years ago, and then, nothing."

"You haven't done anything else

during that time."

"That's a lot of time."

My father took almost

five years to die.

He was very demanding about dying.

(GORDO) One day you're happy

and three seconds later,

you're dead.

That's life.

There it is. The island current

took it over there.

Thanks to the pig we found

the first body.

It was a good idea.

The others must be down below,

maybe near the car.

The car is in the deepest part.

That's where the other diver got lost.

-Poor Chincheta.

Son of a b*tch, the swamp,

it never ends.

Last dive.

Last dive if I find them.

No, not if you find them.

You've done two.

Last one.

There's a family waiting.

You too.

15 minutes and you stop.

Or I'll go and leave you down there.

You drive, I'm tired.

How much?

What a pittance for risking your life.

They could at least

give you a medal.

They did give me one. Look.

He fell asleep,

Chincheta did.

It was hard to get untangled,

but he fell asleep.

It's me,

in case you deleted my number.

What time will you be home

tomorrow?

I want to bring you the girls' stuff.

What's wrong?

- I don't know.

My hand feels sort of numb now.

I'm going to have to grab

the beers with this one.

Quite the challenge. I

don't know if you'll manage.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm going to lie down for a bit, okay?

(MAN) Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it.

-I'm going crazy.

(Indistinct conversations)

Who is that?

No idea.

But the son of a b*tch is making a k*lling.

And that's even during Ramadan.

-Come on, come on.

Let's go! Come on, you can do it!

- Let's go, come on!

-There, there, there!

You got him! Come on there, he's yours!

- You can do it.

-He's yours, let's go!

-No, you can't lose!

Very long day today.

Yeah, sure.

Last one?

If there's no money, there's no last one.

Double or nothing.

I like that one.

I like this one too.

This one is better. Professional.

Okay, let's go, come on.

One moment.

I'm going to make a call.

Don't leave.

(Ringtone)

(ESTRELLA) "Antonio."

I don't feel well.

(ESTRELLA) "What's wrong?"

- I don't know.

(ESTRELLA) "What do you mean you don't know?"

- Can you come pick me up?

(ESTRELLA) "Now?"

- Yeah, when you can.

(ESTRELLA) "I'll get dressed and go."

- Okay, but don't take long, please.

Come on, let's go.

(Indistinct comments)

Hi.

- Hi.

(ANTONIO) Son of a b*tch!

Son of a b*tch!

(ESTRELLA)

Did you talk to the doctor?

Did you tell anyone?

- No.

You can't dive anymore, Antonio.

You have a b*mb in your heart.

If you do, you could explode.

I'll think of something.

(TV) "Oh, please."

(LAUGHS)

(Text message)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

(TV) "Skipping any isn't allowed."

(LAUGHS)

(MARISA) "Hi, this is Marisa,

from the Vigo reserve."

"I've called you several times,

but you don't answer."

"It was to tell you that you passed

the first interview

and we would like to see you in person

next week here, in Vigo."

(ANTONIO LAUGHS)

Hi. I'm very sorry, but I won't

be able to go on that date.

Thank you very much.

Maybe next time.

(ANTONIO LAUGHS)

Estrella.

Estrella.

Estrella.

What's wrong?

You can't be sleeping like that

all night. Come here.

(Horn)

(Horn)

What? Did you steal it

from your daughter already?

I'm happy to see you too,

Antonio.

What do you want?

- What is this?

A letter.

I don't know, you keep waving it around.

From the Ministry of Justice.

You can't take my daughters away from me.

I'm not going to take anything from you.

- You filed a complaint against me.

See you tomorrow, Mara.

- See you tomorrow, Cinta.

You haven't paid anything

for your daughters in years.

That isn't taking anything from you,

that's what's fair.

That's a lie, I do pay you.

- How much do you pay me?

How much?

I'll tell you: sh*t,

that's what you pay us.

I give them other things.

- What do you give them?

Toys and surprise ba*ls,

is that what you give them?

I teach them other things.

- What things?

Things that aren't in books,

life stuff.

What your father did. Good.

Tell it to the judge.

- Cinta, one moment, please.

What?

- Can I pick them up tomorrow?

I haven't seen them in a week.

- No.

Until the trial, you can't do anything with your daughters.

It says so clearly. You haven't read it properly.

Very good, Tiger, very good.

Very good one.

Very good. I'm taking off your

fins, give me your right foot.

That's it.

Now, the other one. Knife.

What's up, Antonio?

Did you hear?

The Dutch have rented

a place in the marina.

They handle almost all the oil

in Algeciras and in the north.

Yeah, yeah, I know who they are.

Let's see how long it takes them to call the

petrochemical company for the concession.

(ANTONIO) You think?

- It's oil.

Those guys don't respect

anything or anyone.

Anyone can compete.

The sons of b*tches are even handsome.

(LAUGHS)

Gordo.

- Coming, just a moment.

Antonio, do me a favor,

finish this up for me, buddy.

With clear handwriting.

Let's see what this guy wants.

Tell me.

(RADIO) "True, we'll finish shortly.

Two lengths and you're out of here."

-"Okay. Coming."

I've thought of something.

There's a boat that for a while now

has been bringing drugs to the

loading buoy. Coke.

It's always the same one.

The Delfo. It comes every three weeks.

If I just go down and grab

one of those packages,

I can pay Cinta what I owe her

and I can set up

a diving school.

(LAUGHS)

And what are you going

to do with the drugs?

Sell it around the clubs

in town?

I have a friend in Algeciras.

He can help me sell it.

Are you an idiot?

If I don't get money,

they'll take the girls away from me.

I've spent my whole life underwater.

Out here I don't know how.

You're an idiot.

I'm going for a walk.

Where are you going?

- Do you listen to me when I talk to you?

I'm going for a walk.

You're deaf.

(LAPTOP) "Very good.

Let's see, Estrella."

"Very good, Estrella."

"Come on, there, again. Very good."

"Let's see what..."

- "Run."

(MAN) "You're gonna fall, Antonio."

"(THEY LAUGH)."

(MAN)

"Take your sister with you."

Antonio.

Antonio.

I know you're awake.

I know your breathing,

the awake one and the asleep one.

It's Saturday. Let me sleep.

A whole package is too much.

They would notice

and catch you quickly.

Normally the trial takes

two or three months.

If it's true that that boat passes

by as you say, there's time.

For what?

- We have to take less.

More times, less quantity.

To not leave a trace.

I've calculated you need

about 80,000 euros.

For the trial

and the diving school

that's about two kilos.

It's not enough.

Come here.

I'm here, in the garage.

It works like a vacuum cleaner.

You have three shots.

600 grams.

24,000 euros.

And how can I do that

underwater?

You'll make an air chamber

with the regulator.

Where?

- In the sea chest.

It has a part

with a hole in the ceiling.

We have to seal it with this,

pool glue.

It dries in three seconds.

One, two,

three.

And Gordo?

- Disconnect the camera.

That's happened a thousand times.

Three ships, not one more.

The doctor already told you,

every time you go down,

it'll be like playing Russian roulette.

(Ship horn)

(Whistle)

Cano, put your foot in properly.

- Can I show you guys something?

Yeah.

- Look.

Let's see.

Do you guys know what this is?

This is a Spanish battleship

from '37, brothers. Well, I know

where it's sunk.

Do you know how much cash this is worth?

- Another big score, Richar?

Another one.

- How many is that now?

I don't know how many it's been, but one

of them will be the real one.

You're going to come to the boat and say:

"Where is it?".

Richar is going to be counting

bills with Florentino Prez.

(SOME LAUGH)

- Eh?

What's going on here?

What are you laughing at? Get to work,

you're not doing a damn thing. Let's go!

This fatass's bullshit.

I'm sick of this sh*t, Tiger.

And I'm too old to be

sick of this sh*t.

But I'll tell you one thing,

at my age,

with what I've been through.

Let's see.

- This, at Petronor,

up north.

And look, this will blow your mind.

Look, look.

- Holy sh*t!

A shark in South Africa,

when I was 27, brother.

Careful, right? And in Cartagena

with an angle grinder, crazy.

Dude, the minor aorta, man.

Bad luck too.

Look, this one will shock you.

- Dude, dude.

Estrella, man.

(RICHAR) Sorry.

But, anyway, the worst ones are the

ones you can't see. Right, Tiger?

- That's for sure.

- I won't be

the next Chincheta.

Gordo will tell me: "No, go

down". No, you go down.

(GORDO) "Cano, how's it going down there?"

"How much longer do you have?"

(CANO) "Gordo, I have half a rudder left

and then we start on the propellers."

(GORDO) "I've seen faster.

(LAUGHS)."

(CANO)

"Come down and do it yourself, Gordo."

(GORDO) "You're pushing it,

I'm your boss."

(Suspenseful music)

"Antonio."

"Antonio, I don't see you."

Do you hear me? I don't see you, Antonio.

(ANTONIO) "There's nothing to see."

It's clean, I'm moving to the other one.

Gordo, give me slack on the umbilical,

I'm going in.

(GORDO) "I don't see

anything, Tiger. What's wrong?"

There's a net here.

(GORDO) "I'll send Cano down."

"I don't like you doing that alone."

- "No need."

(GORDO) "Make it quick and come up,

Tiger, don't get tangled."

"And keep talking to me.

I still don't see anything."

"Antonio, do you copy?"

"Antonio."

"I can't hear you, Tiger. Tell me."

- There's a net with mussels.

Do you want mussels?

(GORDO) "No, man, no."

"Lobster and above for me.

(LAUGHS)."

I'm going to take a little longer.

- "Are you sure you don't want me to send Cano?"

"No. What do you want,

to give me more work?"

"(GORDO LAUGHS)."

Take that off him.

- Is this yours?

- What's up, Tiger?

You're losing your touch.

(LAUGHS)

- The knife, the gloves.

(GORDO) Here, take it.

For later, friend.

Give me the belt.

Give me the things.

The knife, okay?

Gloves off.

What's up, Yoly?

Long time no see.

Hi, Antonio.

What are you eating?

Want some?

(ESTRELLA) Dad!

- Estrella.

And your parents?

Good, picking strawberries.

That piercing is new, isn't it?

No.

Where are the girls' things?

What things?

Didn't Cinta tell you?

I'm taking them to spend

the day at the beach.

She didn't tell me anything.

- Call her.

I can't, at work they don't let her

have her phone.

What's wrong? You don't trust their father?

(ESTRELLA, LAUGHING) Run, run!

- Wait for me!

Run!

Come on, run, Estrella.

Oh, no!

- That's not fair.

Slow down.

Slow down, Sandokan,

or you'll get gas later.

(GIRLS LAUGH)

Did you know your aunt and I

used to live there?

(MARA) There's nothing there.

(ANTONIO) Not now,

but it was a fishing village.

And grandpa rented a cabin

in the summer.

How fun.

(ESTRELLA) At first, yeah.

It was like living on an island,

like paradise, the three of us

together. Later, not so much.

Why not?

- Grandpa was a very famous diver.

And they called him from abroad

to go work.

And he left you alone?

- That's how they turned out, "wild".

(MARA) Weren't you scared?

(ESTRELLA) Not at all.

Grandpa wouldn't let us

be scared, it was forbidden.

Scared of what? Auntie and I were

the tigers of Mompracem.

(MARA) What's that?

Pirates from a book.

Mompracem was the island where they lived,

cut off from the world.

Mom says no.

No to what?

That grandpa was a diver,

but not famous.

And that auntie went deaf because

grandpa never treated her ear.

That's not true. Grandpa

didn't take auntie to the doctor

because she didn't say it hurt.

- Why not?

- Because auntie never says anything.

Because she was a little girl.

And how did you do it?

Diving to get grandpa's watch.

(ANTONIO)

It was a game we had.

I always won.

Last two.

It's always the same. Just when

you're having the most fun, they run out.

It's true, auntie.

(YOUNG ESTRELLA) Sandokan, come here.

Let's see.

Look, look, fish.

(Doorbell)

Hi.

Is your brother home?

-Yes.

Tell him to come out, please.

- Antonio.

Cinta, how are you? Is something wrong?

- Don't go, Estrella, please.

I want someone to listen to me.

I'm only going to tell you once,

take the girls without permission again and

you'll never see them again in your life.

Cinta.

Wait a moment.

Cinta. Cinta!

What you're doing isn't normal.

- I didn't do anything wrong.

They are my daughters.

I need to see them, they need to see me.

I'll tell the judge

and his f*cking mother.

Estrella, it worked.

What?

- The reef.

I did what you said

and fish are coming.

It's beautiful.

In how much time?

Three weeks. Very fast.

I'd like you to come see it.

With you?

- Both of us.

Too many people.

It's at 15 meters.

You can go down there no problem.

(RICHAR) A shackle here, Nico.

What did that guy want?

What do you care?

Lift your left foot.

- I'll wait for you here.

(GORDO) We're late.

We have to start the inspection now

or we won't make it.

Do I have to get the whip out?

We're ready, Gordo.

- Well come on, in the water.

Cano, tend him.

Nico, with me.

(NICO) Coming, Gordo.

(GORDO) Antonio, hey,

I haven't had a picture for a while.

(ANTONIO, VOICE BREAKING UP)

(GORDO) I can't hear you well.

He's losing air!

- I'm coming, Gordo, coming, coming, coming!

(GORDO) "Do you copy?"

- Did you stop seeing him?

The sound. We stopped hearing him.

(GORDO) Antonio.

Cano.

Cano!

(CANO) Yes.

Come on, in the water.

What's happening, Gordo?

Stay there with the umbilical.

Move it!

We're almost there, Gordo.

- Gordo.

We have to get him out now.

- Come on, let's go, pulling him out.

Pull, pull, pull.

- Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

What's wrong? This doesn't weigh anything.

- Pull, dammit.

m*therf*cker.

- Come on, Richar.

Calm down.

He has a bailout bottle.

He's been down a long time.

- So what?

Something could have happened to him.

- What's going to happen?

- Gordo, we're ready.

- Come on, in the water!

-Jump in already!

(GORDO) Cano, do you see him?

(CANO)

"Nothing yet, Gordo."

Go lower, dammit. Hurry up.

Cano.

(CANO) "I don't see

anything. I don't see him."

Look closely.

His bubbles have to be coming up somewhere.

(CANO, BREAKING UP) "I can't hear you

well. I can't hear you."

(GORDO) Look closely. His bubbles

must be coming up somewhere.

Cano!

(CANO) "Yeah, Gordo, I see him now,

I see him. He's there."

"f*ck!"

(GORDO) What is it?

(CANO)

"He's not moving, man. He's not moving."

What do you mean he's

not moving? Get closer.

Cano!

(CANO) "Yeah, yeah, Gordo.

He's moving, he's moving."

"Antonio, buddy. Antonio."

"Are you okay?"

(GORDO) What a son of a b*tch.

The Tiger.

Come on, easy.

Here.

What happened, Antonio?

- I don't know, Gordo.

I went down for a tool

and my umbilical got tangled.

I got disoriented, Gordo.

There's no visibility down there.

And this? How did this break?

I don't know.

-The rope guards, Gordo.

From the propellers, they're sharp.

They're like knives.

(GORDO) m*therf*cker.

Do you know what this costs?

- It doesn't cost you anything.

What?

- It doesn't cost you anything, you don't pay for it.

He's your worker and your friend.

Who has made you a lot of money.

He doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

- Relax a little bit.

Relax?

- Yes, relax

and don't bust my ba*ls.

Are we clear?

You're here to learn,

your brother asked me,

not for you. Get to work, you

still haven't finished your shift.

f*cking hell, damn it!

Estrella.

Okay, okay.

What happened?

What happened?

- I didn't make it...

to the hatch.

And I had to break the umbilical.

(RICHAR)

Pour water over his head, man.

That's it, that's it.

Alright, I'm going to get water.

Tiger.

What are you doing this afternoon?

I don't know, why?

- Come by my house and we'll talk.

About what?

I don't know, Antonio, we've been

working together a long time

and we've never talked about anything.

- And what are we going to talk about?

Free topic, Antonio.

Gentlemen, we have visitors.

Did you bring clean underwear?

Excuse me, panties too.

(SOME LAUGH)

(GORDO) Medical checkup.

If Muhammad won't go to the mountain,

the mountain goes to Muhammad.

Gordo, what are you talking about?

(GORDO) Isn't that how you say it?

- No.

If Muhammad won't go, the mountain

will have to go to Muhammad. Right?

No, nailed it, nailed

it! That's exactly it.

(LAUGHS)

Gordo.

Tell me.

- Is it mandatory?

It's oil, everything is mandatory.

Why? What's wrong?

- No, not me.

He went out last night and I had to put him

to bed.

(GORDO) I'm so jealous.

One day something will happen to him,

but I'm so jealous.

Let's see what I can come up with.

Hey, are you over being mad yet?

(LAUGHS)

Leave him be, his sister

went into labor.

I'll give you the paperwork later.

(Door)

(ESTRELLA) Antonio.

(Knocking on door)

Antonio, can you hear me?

Antonio!

Antonio!

Antonio! Antonio, are you okay?

Antonio, can you hear me?

What happened?

Look at me, Antonio.

What happened? Are you okay?

I don't remember.

I think I fell asleep.

The same thing happened to me in the water.

No.

No.

- No, no, don't touch it.

No?

- Yes.

They are like dad's,

I don't know if you remember.

You have to carry them. If it happens

again, put one under your tongue.

Yeah, yeah, I remember.

Let me know if it hurts.

Where did you learn to do this?

With dad too.

He was an expert at falling down.

I don't remember.

- No, of course not.

You were in Norway, living

at 200 meters deep.

Oh, right.

It was the second time we went. They

filmed us and we were on Discovery.

Yeah.

Dad made me play it twenty times.

I knew it by heart.

Do you remember how I looked

with my hair down to here?

It was cold in Norway.

Damn.

We came from 40 degrees in Cape Verde

and that there, underwater,

was terrible.

Mind you, with the money I earned

I bought the red Celica.

A sweet ride.

- A sweet ride.

For driving around town

waving. Very useful.

All set.

Call Cano.

Meet up with him tomorrow.

Today you have to rest, Antonio.

- No, the sooner, the better.

Do you think he saw you?

I don't know.

I'd say no,

but I'm not really sure.

Hey, Antonio.

Did you bring pastries?

What pastries?

Just kidding, I don't eat sugar.

It's poison. Come in.

Take off your shoes. Leave them there

and close it you're letting the heat out.

What happened to you there?

I cut myself shaving.

Here, it's gluten-free.

Gluten bloats me.

But whatever, tastes the same. Sit down.

What do you think?

Much better than sharing a flat

with some punk kid,

and cheaper.

I traded it to a foreigner

for a Citroen Xsara.

What a bargain for a caravan, man.

- What is it that you want, Cano?

I don't care about caravans and I haven't

stepped foot in a campsite in my f*cking life.

Me neither.

Then what?

Antonio, what I want is a piece

of what you're taking.

I'm not as good a diver as you,

but I've got good eyesight.

I don't know what you're talking about.

- No?

No, I have no idea.

I appreciate the beer,

but I like it better with gluten.

Antonio, I'm not going to report you,

relax, although I could.

But I'm no snitch.

- Are you threatening me?

No, I'm proposing a deal,

a business.

You son of a b*tch,

if it even crosses your mind to say

anything, I'll destroy you. Got it?

Go ahead.

That isn't sold in a supermarket,

Antonio.

You have to know how to move it.

And I know who and where.

You just have to give me a cut.

I have a 25-year mortgage,

two little kids, just like you, Antonio.

We're divers, we don't have much time left.

Look at Chincheta.

Younger than you.

Think about it.

I suspect we'll see each other soon.

Partner!

Your shoes.

I told you.

(Door opening)

He saw me.

He wants a cut.

He offered to move it himself.

What did you tell him?

For now, nothing.

What are we waiting for?

He's talking to the shipowner.

No, that's not what we agreed on!

No, sir!

It was planned differently!

Boys, I know how I'm going

to get rich.

Don't you have that battleship anymore?

No, I'm giving that to you.

Don't say anything, eh?

I'm going to pull up marine scrap.

Those submarine cables

with super magnets.

This has a strength...

It pulls up everything.

It pulls up bicycles, motorcycles,

antique helmets,

gold chains,

safes from ships, crazy.

Internet, that's never going

to stop growing in our lives.

What happens? For something to grow,

you have to take out the old

and put the new things in.

Who are they going to call?

Richar.

- Of course. You know it.

I've been looking and those cables

underwater,

there might be a million

kilometers, two million.

Or more.

- Or more, crazy.

Or more.

- It's a goldmine, brother.

Listen to me.

It's rotten!

That's not even worth a...!

Gordo is sh1tting himself

with the Dutch.

Richar, good thing you have

the scrap metal.

You're learning very fast.

Guys, I'm heading to the water, okay?

(GORDO, FAR AWAY) Over here, damn it!

I sh*t on your f*cking homeland!

I sh*t on the...!

I'm the deaf one,

but you're the one who doesn't listen.

Suit up, you're going down.

- What's this?

I can't, I don't feel well.

- Buy me off to keep me quiet.

(GORDO) What's up? Doesn't

anyone work here or what?

Here, my Roco's

coming-of-age party.

Well.

- Here.

First one to say anything,

I'll cut their ba*ls off.

Suit up, Tiger.

Today it's body and paint.

I'll go down.

What needs to be done is easy.

Very good. Help him,

so he doesn't put the suit on

backwards.

Look at the guy with his girl on his arm.

- Yeah, come on.

Hey, I'm listening to you,

sons of b*tches.

Who photoshopped you, man?

You look like David Beckham.

(GORDO) You b*stards.

-f*ck, man.

(SOME LAUGH)

- You sons of b*tches.

(Television in the background)

Estrella.

Cano.

(CANO) "Antonio, it's me."

"Is it a bad time?"

"I called my buddy in Barbate

and everything is fine, but now he

won't stop calling me asking

where you get your stuff,

and I don't like it at all."

"It gives me a bad vibe."

"He hangs out with very sketchy people."

"And this is a goldmine."

"If he finds out where we get it,

he'll never leave us alone."

"I'm going to tell him we're not interested.

We'll find someone else, Antonio."

"He doesn't know who you are,

but I don't trust him."

"Just so you know and stay alert."

"And sorry for the time, man."

Did you call him?

- Three times,

but he doesn't answer.

You're an idiot!

(VOICEMAIL) "The mobile number you are

calling is switched off or out of coverage

at this moment."

(Beep)

It was there.

For f*ck's sake.

(Dialing phone)

(Ringing tone)

(WOMAN) "How beautiful, sweetie."

(Emotional music and applause)

-Beautiful!

(Soft music)

Can I borrow your brother?

- You can have him.

(LAUGHS)

She's so easygoing.

- Tell me about it.

What are you drinking, Aquarius?

Take advantage, it's not cheap booze today,

I'm paying.

Hey,

do you know that Cano guy well?

No.

I know him as much as you do,

from the boat. Why?

How many days has it been since he showed up?

- I don't know.

I asked these guys, none of them

knows anything about him. He's disappeared.

Do you know if he was mixed up

in something weird?

I don't know.

I don't talk to him.

- I was told you were friends.

Let me know if my wife comes.

Why? What's going on?

Because I told her I don't smoke anymore,

but the b*tch doesn't trust me.

(LAUGHS)

No, I mean about Cano.

Last night they broke into the office.

They searched everything, they only took

the dive logs.

What for?

- I have no idea.

300 euros that were in the cashbox

and the logs.

Do you think it was him?

I don't know, but he left

in a very weird way.

Here she comes, here she comes.

- Gordo, let's dance.

I was looking for you.

- You found me.

Come on, let's dance.

(Quevedo "Music Sessions, Vol. 52")

Stay, because the nights

without you hurt.

I have the poses and all the

moans on my mind.

Cause I don't want anything

that isn't with you.

Stay,

because the nights without you hurt.

Estrella!

(Honk)

Tiger.

Sorry.

- Where were you?

Taking a walk.

You couldn't be in there with the

noise, I was going deaf.

Have you been waiting long?

- No.

It's been a while since I had

such a good time.

Someone broke into Gordo's office

and took the dive logs.

When?

- Last night.

They're looking for us.

Is Cousteau going with you?

Who?

(ANTONIO) The new guy, Nico.

Where to?

Have you been looking through my things?

- When were you going to tell me?

You're an as*h*le!

What is he doing?

Slow down.

I shouldn't have come back.

I should have stayed

in the Canary Islands.

Nobody asked you to do it.

- No, of course not.

Who was going to take care of dad?

- Me.

You? How?

Diving halfway around the world?

Look, so you could be the Tiger,

someone had to stay

and it fell on me. Nobody asked me.

And you can't speak up?

I do know how to speak,

but nobody listens to me.

You guys have never listened to me.

You are like dad, Antonio.

I grabbed it first, but I had

to let it go because of the pain.

What are you talking about?

- Dad's watch.

I got it from the bottom.

I didn't take it from anyone.

I had just let it go.

You didn't get there first.

I had grabbed it.

Why didn't you do it?

I spent years saying it,

but it didn't matter what I said.

If nobody was going to listen to me,

you guys have never listened to me.

Same old story all my life, damn it.

High beams!

Unbelievable.

He's not turning them off?

What are you doing?

What an idiot.

What's your problem?

Can't you see me or what?

Turn off your high beams!

(ESTRELLA) What's

going on? What's going on?

(MAN) Hold it right there!

Turn off the engine!

(ANTONIO) Yes, yes.

- Turn it off.

(ANTONIO) I'm turning it off, I'm turning it off.

- Keep your head down.

Don't look at us.

Your little hands, where I can see them.

You too.

- Yes, yes, yes. Yes.

- When does the next boat arrive?

- What boat?

-I'll ask you again.

When does the next boat arrive?

Soon, soon.

It passes by every three weeks.

-When it arrives,

we want the whole load.

Give me your hand.

Please, please, please.

Ah!

(SCREAMS)

Let me see you.

- (SCREAMS)

We're leaving now, relax.

Relax.

(Cell phone rings)

(Cell phone rings)

(Cell phone rings)

(MAN) "What's your name?".

(ESTRELLA, DAUGHTER) "Estrella".

(MARA) "And I'm Mara".

(MAN) "And your father?".

(ESTRELLA, DAUGHTER) "Antonio".

(MAN) "What does he do?

What's his job?".

(ESTRELLA, DAUGHTER) "He's a diver".

(CINTA) "Girls, come here,

stop bothering the man".

I said it was with a harpoon,

for your father's sake.

How is he?

He got lucky,

it went straight through.

Sit down, I'll let you know when it's done.

- Thanks.

(Ringing tone)

(CINTA) "Antonio".

- Cinta.

(CINTA)

"What's wrong? Did something happen?".

No.

(CINTA) "Why are you calling me?".

"Do you know what time it is, idiot?".

- I had a nightmare.

(CINTA) "Yeah, that you're an idiot.

Bye".

Wait, wait.

Are the girls okay?

(CINTA)

"Of course they're okay, they're with me".

(Call ends)

Estrella.

What are we going to do?

You tell me.

It doesn't matter what I tell you,

you're going to do whatever you want.

I'm going to sleep.

(Door closing)

(MAN) "Where are you?".

- "We're here".

(MAN) "Ah, very good, Estrella.

And Antonio?".

"Here".

- "Antonio, how are you?".

"Very well. Come on, we're going

to play a game, okay?".

"I'm going to throw my watch in the water.

First one to get it, gets a prize,

whatever prize they want".

"We don't know how deep

it's going to fall".

"No jumping in before it's time".

"One, two, into the water".

"I got it".

- "Very good, Antonio".

"That's not fair.

I grabbed it first".

-"What are you talking about?".

"I got it".

- "What do you want for a present?".

(ANTONIO) "The watch".

Estrella.

Estrella.

The Delfo just arrived.

I don't know if I can do it.

I'm going.

Let me do it, please.

I'll be right back.

Hey, I have to go. I'll call you later.

Alright.

I hope she behaved last night.

They're not going to believe another birth.

They are waiting for him,

he's the only one left.

He's not going, Gordo.

- What?

Make something up, he's not doing it.

- Make what up?

You're joking, right?

- I'm not joking, whatever it takes.

He can't do it.

But he has to get on

that boat today.

Sure, for that he has to pass

the medical checkup.

What do I do, paint him?

What is going on, Estrella?

I'm fat, but not an idiot.

Antonio is not well, Gordo.

He's never going to pass that checkup.

But he needs to get on that boat.

Whatever it takes, one last time.

If he doesn't do it, they

are going to k*ll him.

Him or his daughters.

How much did he take?

Almost two kilos.

We tried to sell it

and we made a mistake.

You owe him, Gordo.

Go ahead and get on the barge.

I'll see what I can come up with.

(Ship horn)

I told the captain that the

pressure is lower than normal.

I've asked him to stop for ten minutes

to send a diver down and check

that the pipe is fine.

Ten minutes is a lot of money.

Take what you have to take, but don't even

think about bringing it up to the boat.

After ten minutes,

I will open all communications.

After that, it's over. I

don't owe you anything.

Here. Under the tongue.

Ten minutes.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

It's not here.

- What do you mean it's not here?

The carabiner opened

and it fell.

Come up.

I couldn't go down.

It's too deep.

You can't see anything.

How much air is left?

- You can only do one dive.

With a final stop of 15 minutes.

It has to be close.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Antonio.

Do you understand me? Can you speak?

Antonio.

Arm.

Antonio, come here.

Try to stand up.

Up! Come on.

Half your body is paralyzed.

m*therf*cker.

Did you decompress?

- No.

No?

- No.

You have a bubble in your blood.

We have to take you back down.

(Suspenseful music)

Hold this for a moment.

This time I'll do it.

I'll figure out how.

I'm sorry.

Did you say something to me?

Nothing.

I heard you.

There they are.

Keep your heads down. Where is it?

In the back.

Give me the phone.

I said give me the phone.

(CRIES)

Is she going to drop the charges?

I'm fine with her letting me see

the girls every now and then.

Fine by me.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow.

They say Vigo is beautiful.

Like Huelva.

- (LAUGHS)

Here.

It's yours.

I don't want it. You keep it.

I'm going to lie down for a bit, okay?
