TEN YEARS EARLIER

You know what's on the other side?

Nothing.

What do you mean?

There are other countries,

other cities,

other cultures,

other people.

It's like a wall.

A barrier

that's impossible to cross.

But you can cross it, man.

-You can cross it. -Yes.

When you were born,

Mom was really scared.

She was afraid of what people would say about you.

That they would look down on you.

But I told her, "Mom, Tommy is a strong kid.

Nothing will stop him from fulfilling his dreams."

Often, they'll try to put barriers in front of you.

They'll seem impenetrable, like these.

But you have to believe in yourself,

that you can overcome any limit they impose on you.

No one can tell you that you can't do anything.

Did you hear me, man?

Good.

Alright, change that face and let's go to Gonzalo's birthday.

Come on, man.

Let's go?

They didn't invite us.

We're going regardless.

If they didn't invite us,

we'll invite ourselves.

Get ready. We're going to be the kings of the party.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Let's go.

Water! Hurry!

Stay here.

My mom!

No!

My mom inside!

Mom.

No! Mom!

Mom!

Tommy! My brother!

Tommy!

My brother!

Tommy!

Hurry!

Tommy!

This new police case has caused a big commotion,

where Tomás Ruiz…

Never before in Chile's history,

has a person with Down syndrome been charged

for a crime of this magnitude.

Stop! Police!

…a 48-year-old employee

had a bullet wound in his chest cavity.

Put your hands up!

Objection, Your Honor.

The defense is making arguments

that are used for children and adolescents.

Tomás is 26 years old.

Mom!

Tommy is nice, cool and very happy.

-I miss you a lot. -Me too.

Mom!

CHROMOSOME 21

This afternoon, 26-year-old, Tomás Ruiz Larenas

was going to be transferred to prison.

But a few hours ago, he disappeared from the facility

where he was being held.

Turn it off. That's not going to help us.

It looks like he received…

Barraza, check the surrounding homes.

See if anyone saw or noticed anything unusual.

Yes, Commissioner.

-He probably had help. -From someone at the Centre?

No, from his brother.

Beckham is dangerous.

That jerk is elusive.

If he left with his brother, they would've taken the 68 or the 78 towards the coast.

Or the five towards the north or the south or…

the 57,

towards the border.

They want to leave Chile.

Hello.

Detective.

They kidnapped Christi.

-What? -Her boss, Carmen Luz, called me.

She said that a guy with Down Syndrome and someone else came to her work.

She isn't answering my calls or my messages.

Please help me.

Okay, Sofía. Thank you for the information.

I'll keep you informed.

We have more problems.

Understood.

Send a unit to the Libertadores border crossing

and send pictures and information to border patrol.

How can he go unnoticed at the border?

He must be hidden in some town.

He doesn't have time to hide.

He knows we'll be looking for them.

You need to put this on.

There! Now you look like movie stars.

Very good.

Promise not to take them off?

Now people won't be able to give us away.

Very good.

Who's hungry?

-Me! -Me!

I could eat a stew.

Chicken with french fries.

-I want spaghetti and sauce. -Alright.

Say no more.

I know the best place around here. Shall we?

-Let's go. -Let's go.

We need information about Tomás' whereabouts.

Anything you saw or heard might help.

Has anyone seen this person?

Commissioner.

Thank you. You can leave.

Miss Salas.

Yes, you.

Stay, please.

I understand that you were one of the people closest to Tommy.

Same like everyone else.

You and Susana Berríos,

were the only ones that had the key to his room.

But witnesses say that Susana was having lunch at that time

meanwhile you weren't in the dining room

and you weren't at your work station either.

Where were you?

I don't know.

I don't remember.

I must have been in the bathroom.

You know that it's hard for Tommy to lie

and when I find him

I'm going to ask him if you helped him.

What's going to happen to me?

It depends on what you did.

If you give me information, I can tell the DA that you collaborated.

Tommy is a good kid.

He doesn't deserve to be locked up here.

The only thing I did…

Where did they go?

I don't know.

I don't know, they didn't tell me.

You're going to have to come give a statement at the station.

You're risking getting charged as an accomplice to kidnapping.

Kidnapping?

He wasn't kidnapped.

Take her away.

Come with me.

…with the exponential increase in robberies,

the mayor has made a statement

which we're about to hear.

As a municipality, we're doing everything…

How is the only lady who has stolen my heart?

My dear!

It's been so long since I saw you.

How have you been?

-Good. -That's great.

How is my beautiful boy?

-How has my prince been? -Good.

And this beauty?

My girlfriend.

Yes, we're a couple.

They've been talking about you on TV a lot.

…a prison facility…

I can imagine.

-It's best if we go outside. -Let's go.

Come on.

…Guillermo Ruiz…

according to preliminary sources,

Tomás and Guillermo were last seen

in a shopping centre

where Christina Pérez Lombardi, Tomás's girlfriend, works.

She is also missing

and she has been kidnapped by the two brothers.

Hello.

Commissioner Enríquez.

Yes, this is her.

How are you? I'm the Subcommissioner from the Puente Alto Criminal Unit.

Any news, Subcommissioner?

We were notified that the guys from TV were spotted,

Tomás Ruiz y Cristina Pérez.

-Where? -In San Jose de Maipo.

-Write this down. -Go ahead.

2550 Rinconada Street,

by the 8300 mark.

Please close off the area.

-Affirmative. -I'm on my way.

Durán.

Order the cars back.

They're not at Libertadores. They've been spotted at Cajón del Maipo.

This looks great.

You need to eat quickly.

Why?

Because we need to find somewhere to stay.

-My dear. -Yeah?

Is it true what they say on TV?

TV lies. It always has.

Somebody could have seen you.

Maybe you were followed.

That's why we need to leave soon and follow rule number one, right?

Which is?

-Leave a different way we came in. -See?

Leave through the back.

Go up following the mountain

and turn around at Carrera street.

You left the car there?

You get it, Aunt Yoli.

I know you are good boys,

but you need to take care of yourselves…

and leave behind bad choices.

We're working on it.

We are.

You need to leave.

They snitched on us?

-We need to go, kids. -What about dessert?

We'll have it later. Come on.

Thanks, Aunt.

Take care of yourselves.

Let's go.

Come on!

Good afternoon.

We're closed, dear.

We open around six again.

I need to ask you a few questions.

Alright.

Have you seen these guys?

No.

Are you sure? Take a good look.

They have Down syndrome.

I would remember two kids with Down syndrome, dear.

Can we take a look around?

If you have a warrant, yes.

Without one,

no.

We've had a lot of problems with the police.

We won't do anything that's not in accordance with the law.

That's why I'm asking.

Alright, come in.

Let's go.

They're gone.

We did it, guys!

Teamwork.

Good job, Tommy and Christi!

Do you remember this road, bro?

What do you mean "no"? Take a good look.

My mom's house.

Yes, man.

I knew you would like the surprise.

Damn it, Mom.

Maybe she'd be mad for how I took care of you.

But you've been happy with me, right?

Alright, man.

Let's get to work.

I need you to put this tent up here, okay?

I'm going to take care of something

and I'll be back, alright?

Alright, see you.

Why did he come here if there's no border access?

There aren't any authorized ones but there are illegal ones.

How do they cross?

With mule drivers or through the gas pipeline they're building.

Material passes through there all night.

-I understand. -The temperature drops to zero at night.

I don't think he would cross with them in those conditions.

What?

It's cutting out.

Durán?

Where are you?

-Hello. -Commissioner.

Moncada.

They're flying over the area.

But they haven't seen anything yet.

Okay. Keep me informed of anything new.

Hello!

Mr. Jorge.

Who is it?

I'm Beckham.

Zanetti, the lawyer, sent me to see you.

It's going to be cold today.

Are you prepared?

We're ready.

Did you bring it?

We'll use the gas pipeline route

because the workers and security aren't there at night.

Give me your number.

922

00274.

I'll call you when it's time.

Be on alert around 11.

You lived here when you were little?

Yes.

Do you miss your Mom?

Are you still sad, my son?

Gonzalo didn't invite me to his birthday.

It's his loss.

We can have our own party here.

We'll have a great time.

I'm going to be alone.

No.

Never.

You'll never be alone.

I'll always be with you.

What a nice couple.

I didn't you hear you, dear.

Go buy bread.

And take your brother, I want to distract him.

Do I look like a babysitter?

Alright, come on.

-Go on. -Let's go.

Go.

Let's go.

Enough with Gonzalo.

Don't invite him to your birthday. Find another friend.

Alright?

Let's go.

Sit down.

You know what's on the other side?

Tommy!

Tommy!

Mom!

Now you have me.

You'll never be alone again.

The tent looks nice.

Look, I brought you something to eat.

But we're missing something very important.

-The plates. -No, sir.

Wash our hands.

It's for the cold

and you light it.

You use sticks.

-A fire. -Very good, lady!

She beat you. That's women for you, much smarter.

If you're not careful, they'll steal your heart.

Go look for sticks

before it gets dark.

Christi.

Want to call your parents to tell them your fine?

Sure.

What about mine?

No, I prefer

if you use this one.

Christi.

Keep it short, alright?

Five seconds.

Tell them you're fine and bye.

Okay?

Hey, man.

What?

Has anything happened with Christi?

Anything?

Have you shown affection?

Have you made love?

It's alright. Don't get nervous, there's nothing bad about it.

Christi's mom

is always watching us.

When we're in her room

the door is open.

Hello.

Mom.

Christi, my dear. Where are you?

I'm fine, Mom.

I need to hang up.

No, Christi.

At least tell me… tell me something more.

Tell me what the place you're at is like.

Is there a sign?

There are a lot of trees.

It's pretty.

What else, my dear?

I need to hang up.

No, Christi!

Nine seconds.

Very short.

With luck we can locate a sector but it's nothing we didn't know.

What do you know?

Nothing, I was referring to…

What the fuck do you know?

They were seen in Cajón del Maipo.

Over there.

Boss.

The girl called her Mom.

We tapped the line.

They're in an area called El Toyo.

El Toyo?

A town four kilometers from San José, towards the mountains.

Anything more specific?

No, not for now.

Mariana.

I have the clerk and regional director at the door of my office.

All eyes are on us.

We need to find those kids

or we're fucked.

I know, boss.

Do you really want to get married?

Yes.

Do you want me to marry you?

-But you're not a priest. -It doesn't matter.

There are different types of marriage.

Are you up for it?

I am.

Me too.

Good.

First,

I need to know your name.

Tommy.

No, you're real name.

-Tomás Ruiz. -Very well.

And your name, Miss?

Cristina Pérez Lombardi.

Tomás,

do you take this woman named Christina,

to care for her, respect her

and love her against adversity for the rest of your days?

You need to say yes.

Yes.

Very good.

Christina,

do you take this man, named Tomás,

to care for him, protect him

and love him against adversity for the rest of your days?

Yes.

Very good.

Mr. Tomás,

put the ring

on Miss Christina.

Good.

Miss Christina,

put the ring on Tomás.

Very good.

Tomás, Christina,

I declare you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Bravo!

Congratulations!

Long live the bride and groom!

Congratulations.

You can go rest if you like.

We're leaving early tomorrow.

You can sleep together now.

You're man and wife.

Go on.

We've searched the area completely.

-Concentrate here. -Okay.

Why didn't you tell me they were here?

Because it wasn't certain, Sofía.

Did you hear anything?

Not yet.

You'll know less by standing here.

We were searching the area the whole night.

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Where are you going?

If anything happens to my daughter,

you will be the one responsible.

-Does it hurt? -No?

You're very brave, Tommy.

Everything is ready.

See you at 12.

Okay.

Tommy.

Bro.

Come.

Come with me.

We have to go.

Now?

Where are you going?

-I'm getting Christi. -No.

We'll get her later.

You need to come with me alone.

Where to?

To be free, brother.

To be free.

Let's go.

Come on, man.

Good evening.

I just saw

two people with Down syndrome

on Las Charcas Street, in El Toyo.

Next to a burned down house.

About half an hour ago.

Esteban Riquelme.

That's my name.

Let's go.

-Moncada. -Commissioner.

Someone notified us that they saw them.

A burned down house on Las Charcas street.

-Our team is on its way there. -Okay.

Police!

What's wrong?

We didn't do anything.

Damn it!

TWO KM INTERNATIONAL LIMIT CHILE-ARGENTINA

Give me that.

Put this on.

That's it. Good.

Backpack.

Very good.

Now we have to walk.

-Let's go. -What about Christi?

We'll come get her after. Come on.

Come on, man.

I want to pee.

Hold on a little.

Let's find the person that's helping us, first.

Alright?

Let's go.

Brother.

Let's go.

Come on, brother.

Let's go.

I want to go with Christi.

Come on, man.

We have to go.

We need to go!

-Let's go! -No!

-No! -Stop this shit, damn it!

Why can't you see I'm doing all this for you?

If you go to jail we'll never see each other again.

Do you want that?

Don't you understand?

Forgive me.

Forgive me, brother.

I didn't want to yell at you. Forgive me.

I know this might be bad.

Maybe I never should have involved you in this.

But now I'm trying to fix it.

When this all calms down,

we'll start a new life, brother.

Alright?

You'll see Christi again…

and we'll fulfill all our dreams.

But in order to do that,

you need to listen to me.

Alright?

-I love you. -Me too.

Let's go.

Come on.

Christi.

Relax, it's Detective Enríquez.

Where's Tommy?

Were you with him?

We were sleeping together.

-What about Beckham? -He was in the car.

Check the area.

Yes, Commissioner.

Gutiérrez, code six.

Relax. I'm going to take you to your parents. Alright?

Come.

Mr. Jorge.

I'm tired.

Me too.

We're almost there. Come on.

Mr. Jorge!

There he is.

Come.

Come.

Wait for me here, alright?

I'll be right back.

Mr. Jorge.

Did you find them?

I found Christina.

Tommy and Beckham are still fugitives.

They're heading to the border. I'm going there.

I'm going to send more people.

Where the fuck is Durán?

I don't know. He should be with you.

He's been missing for hours. He's not answering the radio or his phone.

I'll see what's going on.

Mr. Jorge!

Put down your gun.

I don't have anything.

Put down your gun, dammit! Now!

I don't have anything.

Put down your gun!

Beckham.

Beckham.
