Do you know the herd theory?

No, what's that?

-Atheory. -But about what?

lt says we all belong to a herd.

Like animals.

Thousands of years ago we lived in groups of 10 or 15 people.

That group

is the origin of everything.

The herd you came from and are still looking for.

Who told you that?

But today, those 15 people from back then

are a million and you're more linked to them than to anyone.

-But you have to find them. -How?

Trial and error.

We're doing something crazy. Who'd drag you into doing that?

Only someone with a lot of power over you.

-Someone from your herd. -You know what that makes us?

Animals.

Look.

We're here, all right?

This is the A5. They'll take a smaller road to avoid check points.

From here to here, it's about 125 miles, and then...

they have to get to Portugal. lt's another 60 miles to the border.

The Portuguese guy will wait there.

-ln Badajoz? -No.

ln Villanueva del Fresno.

Here.

They just cross over. lt's as easy as that.

-And we go on Saturday. -Right, the day after tomorrow.

By then, the Portuguese will have shifted the bulls.

-The bullocks. -The bullocks.

-And he'll pay us. -OK.

No, Nacho, it's not OK. You have to give them 2,000.

lf you don't, they won't do anything.

And then what do we do? What do you do?

-The truck guys? -They're coming.

And you have to give them the money.

You've got it?

Fuck.

lt's at home.

-Well, get it. We need it now! -l know, the problem is...

l don't want my wife to suspect anything.

Say you forgot something and you have to go out.

lt's only 2,000.

-Those bulls are... -Bullocks.

The bullocks

are worth 50 times that.

When we get paid, you'll see.

-Are you sure about all this? -Me?

l couldn't be surer.

-You're the one has to be sure. -Me? l couldn't be surer.

l'm not a bad person .

Laura... Why are you up?

l'm covered in mud.

There's mud in the stables,

in the corrals, on the road.

l was up to my balls in mud.

What?

What's wrong?

Nothing, why?

That look says...

What?

That nothing's wrong, but everything is.

We inseminated 93 cows tonight, one after the other.

You can't imagine what it's like at -10?,

at night,

the cow starts moving because of the cold, and kicking...

My back's screwed up.

l don't know why l keep doing this.

93 cows.

How about that? l've never inseminated so many

in one day.

So in nine months l'm going to have

93 children.

What's up?

lt's two in the morning.

-Christ. -Take off your boots.

-l'm going out again. -Why?

l was thinking of going to Jacinto's bar for a drink.

-At two in the morning? -Yeah.

Laura.

Laura, open the door.

What's wrong, Laura?

-How often have you lied to me? -Never.

-Another lie. -l swear...

You've built a life based on lies

and now you don't even know when you're doing it.

-Does it hurt you? -lt hurts me...

lt disconcerts me...

And now what?

How am l supposed to feel now? Put down your case.

-Why? -You can't leave like this.

-Like what? -Like you were running away.

The taxi.

lf we do this let's be civilized about it.

Civilized?

You and l are happy. Aren't we?

-We tried to be. -You think there's no other way?

-lt's best for both of us. -Where are you going?

On the street, anywhere. Anywhere is better than here.

Are you going to tell your father?

l'm not a child.

l can cope with a separation on my own.

-Or l should learn to. -l'm not a bad person.

l'm not a bad person.

The number you are calllng ls unavallable .

The number you are calllng ...

Where have you been?

Where's the truck?

Where were you?

l tried to call you.

My battery's flat.

You were to be back in 20 minutes. lt's been seven hours.

-lt got complicated. The truck? -They've gone.

We saw cars down there, and police, and Juanfran took off.

Where have they gone?

-To Portugal. -Are they crazy?

Didn't l go for money last night to pay urgently, in advance?

Yes, in advance, urgently, last night.

Now it's not in advance. A lot's happened.

What's happened?

Let's get in the car. l'm frozen.

-Got the money? -Of course.

-Give it to me. -Why?

-To give it to Juanfran. -Didn't they leave?

You're right.

God, l can't even think.

l'm frozen. lt's so cold.

l was so fucking cold!

-And your wife? -My ex-wife.

l've got a problem there.

You've got two problems.

Your wife and me. l'm your problem.

l love that problem.

l need a coffee.

lt'll all be OK.

-l know. -lt's going to be great.

-What's the plan? -We'll meet in Portugal.

OK. Were they happy about that?

What do you think?

We'll explain and they'll understand.

Anyway, they have the bullocks.

Yes, but when Juanfran doesn't want to understand,

no matter how much you explain...

The important thing now is to stay calm,

be intelligent. We've got two days, right?

Saturday, we'll be in Portugal.

l love thls problem .

Wow!

l see why you don't want to leave. This is the gingerbread house.

Fuck!

-Like it? -lt's great!

Shit!

This was a cabin. This part here. And bit by bit...

The silence!

Some people can't stand silence.

Some people can't be silent. l like that you like it.

And...

She's really gone?

Definitely. You needn't worry.

lt's over, she won't be back.

And l was the detonator.

The detonator.

Now what do we do?

-Whatever you want. -No.

Give me a kiss.

Aren't you answering?

No.

Well,

new plates for the truck

would be another thousand,

but we won't need them. There aren't as many police in Portugal.

But we should paint it.

We'll paint it this color.

lt's my favorite color.

We'll paint the truck and go to the Ben Harper concert.

He's playing in Lisbon next Friday.

l'd really love to wait for him backstage!

You know you two have the same birthday?

No, l didn't.

-October 28. -Yeah?

l think that's why l like you so much.

Not because we're from the same herd?

-Who says Ben Harper isn't? -That's true.

Did you know we all used to be black?

No.

Thousands of years ago, l mean.

So Ben Harper could have come from our herd. Just like...

Bruce Lee or Patrick Swayze.

l prefer Ben Harper.

Well, when we see him backstage

we'll tell him we're following the whole tour.

Vigo,

San Sebastian, Toulouse, Barcelona, it'll blow his mind.

-ls it your wife? -No.

Who is it?

l don't know.

Don't answer it!

Maybe it's important.

Like what? lf it was Juanfran he'd call me.
