In the Mud (En el barro)

EVENTS AND CHARACTERS IN THIS SERIES ARE FICTIONAL.

ANY LIKENESS TO REALITY IS MERE COINCIDENCE.

You're such a bitch. You're such a bitch, you know that?

It's always the same with you. Two drinks in, you become this slut!

So dramatic!

Every time, it's always the same thing. You're always complaining.

Your problem is you can't stand seeing me enjoy myself.

-I don't want you to have fun? -When I'm happy, I talk to other people.

It's 'cause when we go out together, you end up flirting with other guys!

I wasn't flirting! I was just talking. What? Am I not allowed to talk now?

What're you doing?

Can you get back in? Marina!

Turn up the volume!

-I can't hear the music out here! -Get down!

-Get in! -Hey!

-Just get in, dumbass. -Relax!

Don't call me a dumbass!

I swear to God, motherfucker!

You're just as annoying as your bitch of a mother!

-Knock it off, asshole! -Stop it!

-Don't you fucking touch me! -Stop it!

-Asshole! Stop hitting me! -Get off!

What the hell?

Son of a bitch.

Oh shit!

IN THE MUD

I want the heads of every single person

that was involved in this pathetic and obscene spectacle.

Let's go! Inspection, motherfuckers!

Let's go! Move your asses!

Move! Shut up!

-You like that, huh? -Come on. Move it. Move it!

I want you to inspect every block,

and I want you to clear them out.

-Cough it up now! -Shut your fucking mouth!

-Shut your mouth! -You fucking pigs!

Fuck you, you fucking coward!

Huh? There's nothing here? Come on, hand it all over!

Motherfucker! Come on! Come on!

What the fuck you got here, huh?

-Let's see. -Touch Bubi, I'll kick your ass.

-Gimme it. -Get off.

So much shit! Jesus Christ.

How much fucking shit do you guys have here?

Come on! Get it all out!

Stay back! You filthy whores!

You're the dirty one. Fucking bitch.

These dirty bitches.

Stop! It's not enough hassling an old lady?

-You have to take her bunny? -Rosetta! Enough!

Hey, let go!

-Yeah, get out. -You got lucky.

-Gremlin! -What was that? You're starting fights?

How I'd love to drop a match in here and just set fire to everything!

Starting from today, we're no longer having visitors.

VISITS CANCELLED

There will be no extra food,

and the medical station will only be open for two hours.

In addition, I also want you to use cell phone jammers every two hours,

just in case someone left one lying around.

And the Wi-Fi?

Yes, Daniel! And the Wi-Fi!

From now on, I want La Quebrada to be like an island fortress.

So secure not even a fly can get in.

And if somehow a fly does get in, then it will be sent straight to the hole.

-Walk! -Come on!

-Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! -Let's go! Move it, motherfuckers!

Lock up the two that disfigured the other inmate as well.

This is fucked up, motherfuckers!

-Go! -Just let us go! Fuck's sake!

-Put your hands out! -We're all cramped.

-Yeah. -We can't breathe.

And you'll be cramped tomorrow, too, so have fun.

All right. You're done. Next!

You're lucky I'm uncuffing your hands. You better behave yourselves.

-Got that? -Come on!

-For fuck's sake! -Have a cig.

We're gonna fuck you up!

Hey, quiet!

Two here.

-There we go. -You're starting out calm.

You starting out slow? Wait and see.

Just you wait, man. My cards are good.

Let's see if you like it.

-Hey… -Gimme something.

-And you? -Let's see…

-What's up? -Come on.

-Put a chip in. -I did.

-One's missing. -Here.

Whoa! You gonna raise, Cuervo?

You only need one.

Yeah. Let's see if he sticks.

Your turn.

I want two.

Oh, you want in. C'mon!

Are you winning yet, my love?

-Of course, my love. -Mm.

Yeah, but if you don't stop distracting me, I'm gonna lose.

I see…

-Ah… -Mm.

Yeah, just like that.

You, have a drink.

No, it's okay.

A drink. What about you? You two are so boring!

Dumbass!

-It's your hand. -You looked at her ass.

-No. -You looked at her ass, dickhead.

Are you looking at my girl's ass right in front of me like a fucking asshole?

-We're friends, man. Just relax. -You wanna be my friend now, huh?

-No problem. -Just get out of here.

-And go where? -Go to Corrientes.

Alone? But it's best if we go--

It's best that you leave!

-All right. -That's it.

We're going. Come on. Let's just go.

Let's cross the border. We'll be alone there.

And what're you gonna do?

-I'm gonna build you a monument. -Oh yeah?

Yes.

All right, take your shirt off for me.

-Feeling dangerous? -Take off your fucking shirt right now.

-Very good. -Is this what you want?

Yes.

I wanna be the center of your attention. Always.

Of course you are, love. I swear.

-I'll shoot myself. -No, no, no.

-Don't. -Be careful!

Oh, now why are you crying, my love?

Mm. Do it. Hit me.

You like that?

Mm?

ONE WEEK LATER

SHE WHO'S OVERCOME HER FEARS WILL BE FREE

-Forget it. Can you put that over there? -This sucks.

I'm so tired.

-Everyone. -It's too much for me.

This is Paola and José.

They are some of the reinforcements we asked for. This is their first gig.

Afternoon.

-Look at them. Two pipsqueaks. -We're all anxious.

-We're all tired, but orders are orders. -Ridiculous.

All normal activity has been suspended.

The exceptions are authorized visits and daily searches.

And working us like slaves.

Excuse me, Daniel, but how long is all this gonna be enforced?

I have no idea. These are orders from the director.

We've all been on the clock for three days straight now.

My wife is going crazy at home alone with the kids.

Why are we putting up with this?

A whole week we're locked up in here?

Yeah, and they still owe us the overtime from last month.

I'm here to work, Daniel.

But I'd be better off working in a nightclub than staying here.

I mean, sure, I'd sleep less, but I'd earn more.

Worse than that. We're stuck in a cage here.

There's no cell service, no Internet, no nothing.

You know that her mother is sick, right?

All right, fine. I understand, and I'm sorry,

but that's just the way it is.

You know that's bullshit, Daniel. Be honest.

There's nothing I can do. I'm not in charge!

-Not in charge. Believe this shit? -That's all. Come on.

-I'll get your entry pass. -Excuse me.

Hey, make sure to come by Zurda's this afternoon.

You should come. Don't fuck it up.

Come nice and clean.

Take a shower first.

Come on. Less talking, more serving. Go.

She's trying to convince me to make porn.

I think she's already decided for you.

Do what those two did. They found their place, and they're getting by.

If you're gonna do it, get something in return.

Like what though?

Well, think about it. It's your body.

-Where are you going? -To María.

No, no, I'll take it to her.

-No, what about my tip? I have to. -I'll get it for you.

-You better bring it. -Yes.

-The tip is important. -All right.

Just go help.

-Help? -Serving.

Fine, but just this once. You hear me?

What is that?

Huh… A nail.

-You want it? -No.

Are we done yet?

-Yay! -Hey.

You forgot your cake. Off you go. Put it in the oven.

She'll hate you when she's older. You're raising her in a grave.

But she's with me,

and she'll forget all this.

Hmm. How will she forget?

I mean, she's in here with us.

Did you pack your bag for the birth yet?

-I'll help you. -I'm not keeping it. Don't you understand?

Wait. What are you saying? You're not going to keep it?

Oh, right, you're slow. I forgot. Or just stupid.

It's a burden. I can't wait to be rid of it.

You know why she said that?

You're always getting in everyone's business.
