A Dog's Death (La muerte de un perro)

A DOG'S DEATH

WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU.

The Left always had this childish idea that poverty causes crime.

The country's economy has only grown over the last decade,

but crime has raised.

Crime recidivism is around 60%,

as prisons do not rehabilitate.

600 people are sent to prison each year, almost 2 per day.

40% of them are below 25 years of age.

From the year 2006 until now, imprisonment has grown...

Hello?

Okay.

Who was it?

Nobody.

A beggar.

Don't give them anything. Or we'll never get rid of them.

Okay.

Carry on. I'm here if you need anything.

-Can you make the ligature? -Yes.

Could you hand me the tape?

Don't move, honey.

How old is she?

Four or 5, not sure, she lived on the street.

-You got her? -Yes.

-Weight? -12 kilos.

Sorry.

-Take that call. -Thanks.

Alright Cuki. Good girl.

Stay still.

Come here.

Everything okay?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I'll get her ready.

What a relief. I thought they had gotten stolen.

Imagine, changing locks and all...

Sorry to interrupt, Mario.

-What is it? -Cuki died.

How can she die?

I'm sorry.

These epileptic reactions

are unpredictable.

It's difficult for us...

...to predict them.

They don't show in the studies.

We can never really...

Would you like a glass of water?

We work with a service...

for cremation.

Then the ashes you just...

-I don't know... -That's what people choose.

We take care of everything.

You just...

Sign here.

Guadalupe left for Verónica's house. I called her but got no answer.

They're not here, I checked everywhere.

Every time she comes things disappear.

And how are you?

Kisses.

It hurts to see a big Uruguayan football team,

a big team in South America and the world

play so poorly.

They were unable to win a game

they had under control

at the start of the second half.

They had chances to score,

but Gutiérrez as a striker...

He can play the local tournament,

but for international matches he's...

How could I put it?

A bit heavy, lacking rhythm... slow in his performance.

This team from Argentina is far from marvelous.

It's an average team in its league.

They could have perhaps won this game, not an easy victory...

But they could have tied it at least.

This is stuck, doc.

Wanna try yourself?

We can just stick it in with the bag and all.

Our team is losing again.

Right doc?

We're playing so bad.

Total lack of strategy.

We need Gutierrez to run.

He can't run.

He lost his stamina five years ago.

Will you want an urn?

Their goalie hasn't seen any action, they haven't shot on goal.

Not once.

Hi, sorry to come this late.

It's done already?

What is it?

-This is Alicia. -Why did you cremate her so fast?

That's how it's usually done.

It takes a while.

A vet friend of mine told me

it's very odd that a dog dies of an epileptic seizure.

That's what the studies showed.

I can give you the clinical history.

We wanted to do an autopsy.

There is no autopsy for dogs.

-We just... -Now we can't do the autopsy.

You cremated him in a hurry.

Nobody cremated nobody in a hurry here.

-She signed an authorization. -You signed an authorization?

Who owns the dog?

I'm gonna talk to some people, and see what they say.

Good. If you have doubts, get an opinion.

Have them talk to me if necessary.

I just came to give you this.

Careful, it's fragile.

Good night.

This lame fuck is lying.

Uruguayan teams always had strong, tough defenders.

But here their striker easily eluded a midfielder...

Where were the defenders?

Their forward got in and did whatever he liked

while nobody helped defend.

But again, even if you do defend

and don't let them score,

if you don't hurt the opponent

not even once,

because their defense blocks all your shots

all those weak out swingers...

That may work locally but not at an international level.

That won't get you any titles...

When can you take time off?

I don't know.

They have specials, the Caribbean, Europe.

But we need to know when you can take time off.

I told you, I don't know yet.

Well, try to figure it out.

All good today?

Yes, all good.

-You okay? -Yeah.

-What was that? -I don't know.

-Did you see anybody? -No.

Let's go inside.

Let's go.

New police reports show a growing female presence

leading organized crime groups

related to narco-trafficking.

We're discussing today the role of women

in narco-trafficking organizations.

Welcome Gabriel.

The history of women in narco-trafficking

is as old as the business itself.

There's the case of Griselda Blanco, for instance,

the so called Cocaine Godmother...

She created the system of routes.

She gave Pablo Escobar the first routes

so that he could grow and become a big narco trafficker.

Yes?

Hello. Have anything to give away?

No. We don't have anything. Sorry.

Bread, clothes, anything.

The lady of the house is not here.

And you, won't you give me nothing?

How was your day?

It was good.

Yours?

Good, quiet.

Hello?

Veronica, it's us.

Get the car in the garage.

It's OK. We'll leave it here.

As you wish. Come in.

We'll pay for one of them.

After 40 years of work, let us give you a present.

Right, Dad?

I'll put that in the fridge.

-Don't get him excited. -It's okay.

Guadalupe, put this in the fridge.

Did you get the travel specials I sent?

Yeah, your mother told me, but the dates are limited.

You travel when they want.

Is that a problem for you now?

Well, it still is for me.

Excuse me.

Those specials are tickets nobody wants.

What? No!

Nice little puppy!

-Do you need help? -No, don't worry.

You just sit, watch TV if you like.

No, no teeth. Don't eat my hand.

Leave your cellphone, Felipe.

Come help me.

Mom, are you still there?

Do you need anything?

Just one. OK?

Stay still.

-Easy on the mayo. -It's dry.

Too much.

What's this, Dad?

What is it?

Mario.

A woman on Facebook says they killed her dog at Dad's clinic.

No, it's nothing.

What?

She makes all these claims.

What happened, Mario?

The dog had an epileptic seizure and died. It's nothing.
