7 Days (7 días)

We all dream about something.

The question is...

...what we do about it.

That thing about your life flashing before your eyes...

...the second before you die.

No.

I saw three things.

My girlfriend...

...and all that she did for me...

...how I'd be soon with my brother...

...and the last thing: Everybody has at least...

...one talent.

Mine was going to waste. With so many tickets.

7 D AYS

ONE D AY BEFORE

Yesterday there was a press conference...

...to announce the visit of the band U2 to Mexico City.

PRESS CONFERENCE U2 AGENTS

We'll be here next month. There are 2 shows confirmed.

How much of the new material are they going to play?

The last time they were here they had a violent incident.

Could you say something about that?

We're here only for the music. Just the music.

Yes, sir, don't worry. I'll make the deposit...

...the day after tomorrow.

Yes, of course.

Okay, good-bye.

Listen, Claudio.

I can't promise people money we don't have.

What about it?

What about it? U2!

If we couldn't bring the northern huarache...

...how are you going to bring U2?

I have a plan.

Remember your parents' money?

Let me borrow it.

Are you stupid or what?

- It's a loan. - It's my parents' savings.

I don't have the right.

But you have an authorized signature.

Half an hour.

I know the place well.

There is a lot of money there.

They play million-dollar hands.

There's a guy that handles it all.

They call him The Manager.

They old guy arrives always at the same time.

He hasn't been late in 20 years.

He does not appear in newspapers.

Nobody knows him.

That's when I come in. Only one bet.

The rest is a sure deal.

That's how we become champions.

Champion, champion, champion.

A 1 new man. A rich one.

I know I am going to win.

And at last, the world's greatest band in my hands.

You are crazy, Claudio.

We have the contacts.

Fede, my brother, had good partners.

I can look them up and put something...

...together with them.

That's when you come to the rescue...

...and save our lives.

It's a half an hour.

- And if you lose? - We won't lose.

It's our turn to win.

OK. You'll get your money back.

I've never asked for anything.

I wouldn't risk your family's money.

You're going to get killed, Claudio.

We'll win.

We'll win.

This is a glorious day.

Because the match is about to begin.

The stadium is packed.

For the Mexican championship, Striped vs. Eagles...

...in an exciting match.

Exactly, Enrique.

The audience can be a very important factor...

...but we also have to acknowledge...

...that there are a lot of visiting fans...

...that can balance the vibe in the stadium.

Today Monterrey is celebrating, and in 90 minutes' time...

...we'll know if the fans played...

...an important role in the outcome.

There is great expectation in Monterrey...

...and in the rest of the country.

The country is paralyzed in anticipation.

We're closed. Get out of here.

I can't.

We're closed. Beat it.

Buddy, I'm carrying half a million dollars in cash.

Tell your boss you didn't let me in.

Move it.

500 thousand.

On the Striped.

I stay.

I'm very superstitious.

Call it off.

We still have a chance.

A chance for what?

I always loved you the same.

Me too.

Excuse me.

We're at the stadium. The Striped...

...are coming out to the field.

There goes "Cabrito."

Hi.

The rest of the guys?

They went for the guy who won't pay.

As good as dead.

And that guy?

A kid who brought 500 thousand.

- On what? - Against your Eagles.

Fans, the show has begun.

Goal!

Goal!

Straight into the net!

Straight into the net!

What an impressive way...

Goal for The Eagles!

Cabrito runs for it.

This could be their last chance!

There goes Cabrito, he's alone, alone.

Cabrito is in the area.

What happened there?

It's a penalty, penalty!

Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

He missed!

The ball is out!

He had it, it was his, and he let it go.

What the?

My people don't have much sense of humor.

Would you kindly give us the money?

I don't have it.

Stop kidding.

Damn stupid clown.

For the last time.

The money.

Sorry, Gloria.

No more U2.

What did you say?

I said, "No more U2."

U2, as in the band?

It was my concert.

U2 from Ireland?

Yes.

Would someone please shoot?

- Wait a minute Dad. - Son, I have dinner plans...

...with Mom.

You?

Me and my partner, Virgilio Garza.

That guy's your partner?

- Where is all of this going? - One second, Dad.

When?

They'll play at Mexico City next month...

...then we bring them here. - What a stupid story.

What is that thing "Two-two"?

Dad...

The best band in the world.

If he's really bringing them, he'll give us...

...the missing money.

- And a great concert. - And a...

Shut up, idiot!

Okay, but he must bring them today.

- That's impossible... - Impossible?

He's right.

But if we kill him now... we won't have anything left.

He bets money that disappears.

Damn Copperfield.

And he'll do the same with that band of yours.

- No, this time it's true... - Shut up!

He must show you something.

At least a contract.

Give him a few days.

He either comes back with the money...

...and your concert...

...or we sell his internal organs.

I don't believe him.

Well, what the heck.

One week.

- One week, no way... - And shut up.

One more word and I'll shoot you.

- Move, you creep! - Wait, man!

Well...

How many charlatans am I meeting today?

I'll pay you, I swear!

Are you?

Don't tell me. You're going to bring me...

...The Beatles or what?

- Give me time, please. - Forget it.

- Let go of me! - Walk, you jackass.

You wanted to play tough guy?

- Move you stupid creep! - I'm being polite with you!

Your time is running.

Come.

You'll be sorry if it isn't true.

But if it is, you better get me backstage passes.

Relax, everything went well.
