(dramatic orchestral music)

(orchestral music continues)

(door creaks)

(tense music)

Here, condoms and birth control.

I am sorry, please keep
that filth to yourself.

Please, perhaps
you should sit down.

There are some
things you don't know

about the journey north.

And please, you need these, too.

My wife and daughter
don't need these.

(man laughs)

Why don't you save
yourselves the trouble?

You don't tell
me and my family where to go.

I would listen to him.

Vile creature, don't listen.

No, no, let him speak,
they deserve to know.

Know what?

Know,

know that your wife

and your mijita
are gonna be raped.

And your son

will be murdered.

And the padre, the
father, the father,

husband, sole protector,

will die trying to defend them,

or die in shame, in the
guilt of your failure.

Hundreds and thousand
miles away from home.

Who are you supposed to be?

To some, I am the ugly truth.

To others I am Recelo.

But the real question is,

how much are you and your family

willing to pay to
get to America?

(cars approaching)

(doors clicking)

(yelling in the distance)
(ominous music)

Perdon, perdon.

(screaming)

(all chattering)
(screaming)

(screaming)
(gun shots)

(knife slicing)
(strikes landing)

(screaming)

No.

(clicking tongue)

No, please.

You took the line of credit,

knowing you could not
pay it back. (laughs)

Now we take your wife
to settle the debt.

Machete!

(dramatic orchestral music)

Her.

Please. No.

Put her in your hands.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(machete slicing)

(intense music)

(sewing machines whirring)

(acoustic guitar music)

(soft guitar music continues)

(bags crinkling)

Please, a beautiful woman
like you should have everything

she wants in her life.

If you don't take my money,
I'm gonna put everything back.

What?

You think you're too good
to not accept my kindness?

Nothing in this store
is worth anything other

than my money.

(bell on the door jingles)

(cash register beeping)

(light acoustic guitar music)

(knife clicking on
cutting board)

(dramatic music)

(grunting)

Eva! Jesus, (pants)
Eva, I could have...

(both panting)

Look at you.

I've always told you, you
would thank me one day.

A knife is an extension

of a woman's power-
- What have you done now?

I have some good news for you.

What?

You spent our rent money again?

You think rent money
can buy all of that?

Where'd it come from, then?

I know you didn't earn it.

What?

An old whore like me
ain't worth a life, huh?

Ma, I didn't say that.

Us women cannot
hide from the truth.

It always finds us.

Anyway,

it is what it is.

[Eva] So, what is it this time?

[Soledad] I found you a husband,

raised in Puerto Rico.

A husband?

Yes, in fact, he's
gonna be here tonight.

So you might want
to get cleaned up.

Look, I even got
you a new dress.

Mama.

This is worse than what I
would expect even from you.

What, finding you
a wealthy husband

that can take you away from
all this filth is somehow bad?

Wealthy husband.

I've told you, I don't care-

Yeah, I know you
don't care about money.

But Eva,

look, I got you the
best of both worlds.

This kid is handsome!

You know he says he's looking
for one-of-a-kind woman.

So, okay.

Just so there's no confusion
let's be clear about this,

You sold me to him.

Leave it to you.

Leave it to you
to find something

negative on everything.

Yeah, I got a little
something out for me, so what?

I don't deserve nice things?

Eva.

What are you waiting for?

I don't need you
to take care of me.

A strong, smart woman,
it's a rare thing.

You're finally met
with real opportunity,

and what do you do, huh?

You stand there with
your head in the clouds,

with a suitcase packed
ready to go nowhere.

It's my life!

It's not a thing to be sold
or traded for a new TV.

I know you, you're just planning

to give it to some local farmer.

And you're sitting
on a goldmine,

right between your
skinny little legs.

Eva, you're not gonna
have to be hungry anymore.

All you have to do is
say yes to one man,

instead of waiting for a
man that doesn't exist.

(water boils and hisses)

Look, you're beautiful.

You are, (laughs) oh, my God,
you're far more beautiful

than I ever was.

And I want what's best for you.

You know I was young
once, and I also searched

for my knight in shining armor,

and I was betrayed by your dad,

the one man,

the one man I thought
I could trust-

Ay, Mama, I know,
my father, the war,

the ultimate proof that
no man can be trusted.

Look at me. So silly.

I shouldn't have.

Us women should not
waste our time with tears.

I'm not something to be sold.

I'm going to be free and alive

with a local goat
herder that I love,

or free and dead with
all the other things

you say never existed
to begin with.

How great you could have been if

you were born somewhere
with opportunity.

I'll make my own opportunities.

Of course you will, but for now,

can you just do
your mama a favor?

Look, just meet with
this man tonight.

If he's not what you want

or what you feel
that you deserve,

then we'll just say no.

Yeah, we'll say no and we'll
give him back all his shit.

[Eva] But I'm not
wearing that dress.

So what did you think?

I don't know, it
was an okay movie.

What do you want to do next?

Hungry?

No, (laughs) I'm
full from the popcorn.

Plus it's getting late and
I've been working all day.

We discussed the car, Miguel.

Ah, yes, I know, you
made it painfully clear

you're not getting in.

But to be honest, I don't know
why you wouldn't trust me.

Trust is earned.

That takes time.

Fair enough. (sighs)

So let's take another
walk around the barrio.

No first date can be complete
without ice cream. (laughs)

- Okay.
- Cool?

Yep, short walk
around the barrio.

So what's the secret?

For a man like me
to win your heart?

(Eva laughs)

My heart's not
something to be won.

It's something I'll share

with the right man
at the right time.

Yes, that sounds like a dream

some American gringa might have.

Maybe so, at least I got one.

What's your dream?

My dad runs a cartel,
I will run a cartel.

No dream is necessary.

You don't want more out of
life, to blaze your own path?

What more is there than
being rich and powerful?

A lot more, like being happy.

Being free.

Yes, that's what
poor people say.

Wait 'til we are married.
- Ouch.

Then you'll see true
happiness and freedom.

Oh, (laughs) slow down, I
didn't say I would marry you.

I just met you, we-

We what?

You don't want the
life I can give you?

You know, (laughs) Eva,

I do like this whole diamond
in the rough routine,

but I think you might be
taking it a bit too far.

Routine?

You're beautiful, yes.

The question is, for how long?

In a place like this,
your mother's a whore.

I'm offering you a way out.

Come on, now you're
getting in my car.

You think you're
offering me a better life,

with you in a cartel?

You can get your little
trinkets tomorrow.

I'll see myself home.

Let's go, Miguel.

(Soledad trembles)

Run, Eva, run!

Run!

(grunting)

You know, you can
improve on the cooking.

Help me out here.

I'm trying to figure out,
why would the daughter

of a whore think
she can tell me no?

Hmm.

All that money and power,
and this is what you do

when you don't get your way?

I assure you, I
always get my way.

Take back everything,
you hear me?

We're not interested.

Now you listen to me.

We paid for a special
woman and drove

to this shit hole of a town.

Now I am taking home
what I have purchased.

Once we're married,

I won't let anyone else
put their hands on you.

(men laughing)

Watch the face.

(slow dramatic music)

Eva!

I've been hit like that before.

He was 12, he didn't
have a gun, though.

(Eva grunts)

I thought we'd never
get past foreplay.

(grunting)

(knife slicing)

Miguel, you know, you're going
through a lot for this one.

She's a woman money can't buy.

What the fuck is
taking them so long?

Go check.

Go!

(car door slams)

(indistinct)

(dog barking)
(suspenseful music)

I can't believe you
grabbed that stupid suitcase.

[Eva] I killed a man.

Look, that man deserved to die.

Don't you give it a second
thought.

It's your fault.

No, mija, you're the
one that is too proud.

All you had to do was say yes.

(dog barking)

We have to figure out
what we're gonna do.

I'm not going back.

We can hide in the next town.

I'm leaving.

I know that, we're both leaving.

No.

I'm going to America.

I get it.

I let you watch too
many Disney movies.

Going to America.

It's a sure way to die.

No, Mama, I'm going to be free,

to choose my life.

You're so stubborn.

Just like your mother.

I have taught
you all that I can.

If you choose to be a fool,

you will learn, as I learned.

Thank God we're survivors.

I love you, Mama.

I love you too.

Go, go, go, go.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(knocking on door)

It's 2 a.m. in the morning.

Could you come back later,
please?

What are you doing?

This is not a hotel.

[Eva] I need you
to help me pray.

What are we praying for?

Forgiveness.

For one who seeks salvation,

the Heavenly Father
grant forgiveness.

I killed a man tonight.

Murder is not something
easily...

I'm not seeking forgiveness
for myself at the moment.

Then please explain to
me, what are you doing here?

I'm here

to ask

my father to forgive himself,

just long enough so he can
say goodbye to his daughter.

If you have come into this
church to cause any trouble-

You were the one man she
thought she could trust.

I'm a man of God.

This is my church.

And I am your greatest sin.

Don't you look away from me.

Please don't-
- Please.

Just go.

Go.

Wait.

Where are you going?

To America.

Along the migrant route?

Do you have a coyote?

A coyote, to steal my
money and leave me stranded

in the middle of nowhere?

Not all coyotes
are created equal.

How much money do you have?

1,000 US.

That's not enough.

You'll never make it
past Guatemala with that,

unless...

(sighs)

This is worth more than gold.

This will pay for your
passage into America.

She still loves you, you know.

After the war, she came to me,

looking for salvation.

And she found nothing but sin.

Besides,

having a drunk for a mother,

and a lying hypocrite

for a father,

what kind of life would
that have been for you?

(Eva cries)

One I would have
gladly welcomed.

Hold on.

(bell tolls)

Think about the road ahead,

not the one behind you.

You don't have much time.

He's leaving soon.

I have a moped out back.

You can leave it with
the nuns in the shed.

Go and find this particular man,

the one that they
call the Dragon.

He's a coyote.

The best of its kind.

True to his word,
tough as nails.

Show him that coin.

He owes me a favor.

(door squeaks)

Let's go. Get up.

[Eva] Are you Dragon?

Who are you, what do you want?

- To get to America.
- How much do you have?

Go here in line with them.

Now, follow me.

(longing orchestral music)

No, you're mine.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(man grunting)
(slicing)

(all screaming)

[Man] Hey!

(engine revving)

Get in.

I won't ask again.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(car engine revs)

Where are we going?

You're not gonna help
them, the others?

I know my limits.

Where'd you get my coin?

Your coin?

For sure as hell wasn't
your friend's back there,

so answer my question.

I, I don't even know you.

You need to answer my
questions when I ask them.

A priest from-

Come out.

Where are we going?

What are you doing here?

Going to America.

Let me guess, your
flight got canceled,

so you want to take
the scenic route?

You have no idea
what I've been through.

Save it, everyone's got a story.

Please tell me you
got other clothes

in that suitcase of yours.

If you give me a minute
to change, then yes.

You got five minutes.

As for me, I got three rules.

Rule number one, don't ever
take on more than you can carry.

In other words,
know your limits.

Rule number two, answer my
questions when I ask them.

Keeping things from me
can get us both killed.

And rule number three,
the most important one,

don't be a quitter,
nobody likes a quitter.

(soft music)

So we're gonna walk
all the way to America?

I thought everyone
took the train up north.

Not everyone.

(Eva sighs)

You know, there's
a trail just above us

that we could use
to travel faster.

(water running)

What are you doing?

We have an agreement,
I know what I owe you.

No more.

No less.

(slow ominous music)

(rock clattering)
(gun cocking)

Shh.

(slow ominous music)

(speaking Spanish indistinctly)

(dog barking)

A little further.

Are you fucking crazy?

You left me back there.

I didn't want you to think
that I owe you anything.

I didn't leave you
back there, okay?

We stay off the beaten path,
no one will find us here.

My father said you were
some kind of tough guy coyote.

But all you do is run and hide.

Your father?

Well, okay, you
want to stay back

and fight the whole Salvadorian
police department, huh?

I've made this trip more
times than you have.

My way is under the radar.

No unnecessary risk.

You have first watch,
wake me up in four hours.

(slow guitar music)

It's not her.

Do you want me to
call your father?

And tell him what?

Two of our men got killed by
a girl and her drunk mother?

He's my best tracker.

Said he finds her tracks out
along the mountain ridge.

The mountain?

We're talking about
a woman, alone.

She's not alone,
and this is a route

known to be used by a
coyote named Dragon.

Dragon has a storage
unit not too far

run by the gangs.

This shit keeps
getting better. (laughs)

That's impossible,
my father killed him.

Even if it was, no man
would be stupid enough

to try that again.

We can't afford to underestimate

this woman anymore.

Her and her mother might be
two motherfucking samurais,

for all we know.

[Dragon] Five minutes.

(slow orchestral music)

Use the bathrooms,
maybe take a shower?

We can't leave a trail.

A trail?

The people who saw us.

People can smell fresh soap
and perfume for miles around.

And to go where we're going,

the less attractive
we are, the better.

Hey.

I think we may have gotten
off on the wrong foot.

(dog barking)
(people yelling)

(slow dramatic music)

(man laughing)

(Dragon cries out)

Wait, hold up.

The cartel's tracking you.

Cartel is tracking me?

Don't play dumb,
everyone thinks I'm dead.

Why is there a small
army after you?

You broke the rules, deal's off.

You can't do that.

You owe a debt to my father.

Lady, what do you think this
is, huh, some kind of game?

I can't beat them all.

I don't need you
to beat them all.

I just need you to
get me to America.

Do you have any
idea what's ahead?

Yes, I mean, I know it's tough.

Tough?

There are cities,

right, whole countries
waiting to kill us

as soon as we set
foot on their soil.

Not to mention the
cartel hunting you.

Not paying your debt, huh?

Is that your fourth rule?

If we keep going,

there's no going back.

I accepted that the moment
I got in that car with you.

Now it's your turn.

(dramatic hip hop music)

[Dragon] Keep your head down.

I got a storage
unit up the block.

(metal door squealing)

(hard rock playing)

(door bell rings)

(short beeping)
(door slamming)

Mother fucker.

Yeah, I stole your shit!

You not gonna do shit about it.

You're lucky that door's locked.

Or I'll fuck you up.

Go.

(door banging)

Hey.

(glass shattering)

Hey.

I heard you were dead, man.

You heard wrong.

(blow landing)

(suspenseful music)

Hey, sexy!

Why don't you come over here?

Why don't you come
over here to me?

(blade slashing)
(groans)

Who's next?

What are you waiting for?

Cut the bitch!

(suspenseful music)

(grunting)
(blade slashing)

Ahh!

(gun cocking)

(blade slashing)
(screaming)

(knife slashing)

Should we take his gun?

No.

If the police finds us with a
gun, we'll be in jail forever.

I'm fine.

Well the manager of this
place stole my motorcycle,

so the plan changes a bit.

(soft, tense music)

Where'd you learn that?

- My mother.
- Your mother?

She grew up in Esalgo

in the aftermaths of la matanza.

The massacre?

My grandparents were
killed by government snipers.

More than 10,000
murdered in all.

Terrible time.

My mother joined the rebels,

plot against the government.

She was recruited to
become an assassin,

small unit tactics,
knife fighting.

She sounds like
a remarkable woman.

What about your father?

They were both looking for
answers and found each other,

fell in love.

She gave it all up
to be with him.

Said there were just too many
assholes in the world to kill,

but it didn't last.

My father couldn't
handle the shame.

He went back to the church

and abandoned us when
I was still a baby.

I'm sorry he wasn't there
for you, but your father,

he saved my life,
hid me from the cartel.

I've been caught in
the middle my whole life.

I can't do this, not
allowed to do that.

My mother and father had
to spend their whole lives

trying to forget one war,

while preparing me
to fight in another.

I understand.

So, what's the new plan?

We're in it.

We use this car to
get to Guatemala.

And after we get to Guatemala?

Catch a taxi, and then
no more help from me.

- Wait, I can't-
- Eva,

you're gonna get us both
killed, do you know why?

'Cause you don't listen.

I don't listen?

Do you remember rule number one?

Never take on more
than you can carry.

Problems between
here and the border

are gonna slow you
down and suck you in.

So you do as I say, or
no more help from me.

Deal?

Hey (sighs)

Timely motherfuckers.

(light acoustic guitar music)

You two lost?

Hey we're cool!

Just passing through.

Hey, tranquilo.

We didn't do that.

Hey,

the Brazilian.

He's my father.

The Brazilian is your
father huh?

Legit.

Miguel.

We'll be on our way.

You're pretty far from home,

and I'm thinking

they might pay a good
price to see you return.

Let me kill one of them.

Send a message to the
cartels to think twice

about setting foot on our turf!

[Gang Member] Yeah.

[Gang Member 2] Let's get 'em!

- What do we do?
- Stay close,

and shut up.

(gun firing)

(suspenseful music)

- You called my father?
- Yesterday.

I'm going to take what's mine,

and, uh-

The hell you are.

We're not scared of you.

(body thudding)

And you can keep what's yours.

I trust our arrangement
remains in place,

unless,

you are not in control.

(suspenseful music)

Come on.

If I hadn't called him, you'd
be spending the next few weeks

tied up in a closet in
this shit hole country!

(door clicking)

(sighs)

(bottle opened)
(glass clinking)

Not even married yet,

and your woman's already
pushed you to the bottle.

So, this woman I hear about,

she's one in a million?

Hmm?

Is that so?

You idiots get two
of my men killed,

then sit here with
nothing to show for it.

[Man] We did find out that
Dragon might still be alive.

So you say,

a dead man walks.

And aren't we
riding the beast here?

I mean, we could just ride
the train straight to Mexico.

I wouldn't be in any rush
to be getting on that train.

Who's this guy?

Our driver.

And that stuff?

And who's the man
in the picture?

That's his driver.

You'll understand when
you get to America.

[Eva] What's he doing now?

Taxi driver in Guatemala

has one of the most
dangerous jobs in the world.

Over 900 drivers were
killed here last year alone.

Canesto has been driving this
van for over three years now.

He's the best
your money can buy.

My money?

I mean, yeah, I
could pay, but...

Don't worry. I'll pay half.

I'm riding too.

I heard you got into trouble

with the Brazilian
on your last run.

(blows landing)

[Man] Look at you.
Lying here in pain.

Your flock is dead, trooper.

You planning on settling down?

Nah, it's not like that.

She's just a job.

So was my wife.

(dramatic music)

(banging on hood)

(gun firing)

(tires screeching)

(engines revving)

(tires screeching)

(police sirens)

(suspenseful music)

(siren wailing)

Hold on.

(tires screeching)

(siren wailing)

(train whistle)

(train whistle)

(tires screeching)

(police siren)

(tank decompressing)

(engine reving)

(train whistle)

Good luck.

Let's go.

(train passing)

(train whistle)

Come on, I got you, come on.

[Man] We should keep going.

We stop here.

He's right there.

Couldn't catch him
in an old, broken van.

What makes you think
we'll catch him in a car?

(knife stab)
(grunting)

(grunting)

(blows landing)
(knife slashing)

More than you can carry.

Remember our deal.

(woman sobbing)
(dramatic orchestral music)

(sobbing)

File was built on information,

pieced together on a ghost.

Soledad is a very
dangerous woman.

Could she be found?

Me and my tracker have a lead.

- Thank you for this.
- Glad to be of service.

Tracker.

(sighs)

Why her?

I don't expect
you to understand.

(laughing)

You think I don't know
how to think like an idiot?

So, it's idiotic to want
something money can't buy?

You have a lot to learn.

It's idiotic to want a woman
like that in the first place.

She's a prize.

One of a kind.

(Miguel's father chuckles)

You always said a man
shouldn't settle,

so I haven't settled.

I have said that.

It's true.

We live in a rough world
where the strong thrive,

however,

we have dreamers that think
they're better than us.

Give 'em some space,

and they'll even think
they're stronger than us,

then others will believe it.

That's when they
come for your head.

So that's why you hunt Dragon?

That's exactly why.

He's just some
second rate coyote,

taking the peasants and whores.

I had thought
that, too, at first.

Then I started hearing
all these whispers

with his name, along with
words like brave, honor,

tough.

I sent him a message, and
he killed one of my men.

Pablito!

Sending a message back to me!

Let me know that I
couldn't buy him,

and that he wasn't afraid
of the cartel. (chuckles)

I killed all those
men whispering, and

I will kill Dragon.

I understand.

Do you?

(dramatic music)

(railroad bells dinging)

You gonna pay cash or...?

Cash.

Cash.

(man groaning)

That's it.

This is the only money I have.

Oh, no, no.

No, you keep your
money for your family.

We can work out something else.

Mm, mm.

Let's go.

(knocking on door)

(Dragon's mother gasps)

Mama.

I don't believe it.

I have been praying!

You couldn't even
call your mother

to let me know you were alive!

I see, now.

[Dragon] No, hold on,
mom, it's not what you think.

Why don't you go
freshen up, dear,

and I'll make us
something to eat?

- Just down there.
- Yes?

(Eva takes a deep breath)

Her father took me in.

A priest.

(groaning)

This man, the Brazilian,

can you beat him?

He runs a cartel, ma.

Controls it from
here to Tijuana.

That's not what I asked you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I haven't-

Ugh, please, eat.

Don't mind me.

You're the first woman my
Derwin has ever brought home-

(Eva spits and coughs)

[Eva] I'm fine.

Dragon and I-

Oh, relax.

He told me everything. (laughs)

Of all the things to
want to grow up to be.

Kids dream of being doctors,
lawyers, a sports star.

My son becomes Dragon,
El Coyote. (chuckles)

I need a drink.

How 'bout you?

I'll take a tequila.

Tequila it is.

(classes clink)

Ah.

[Eva] This is delicious,
thank you so much.

Oh, that's my
son's favorite, too.

So that's one thing
you have in common.

I'm afraid your son and
I have nothing in common.

Eh, he's alive, you're alive.

That's two!

[Eva] You're fishing.

(chuckles) To fishing!

(chuckles)

- [Eva] Ah.
- So, tell me.

What are you going
to do in America?

Be free to live my life.

[Dragon's Mother] To do what?

What do you mean?

Well, you can be free anywhere.

What are you going to do
with all that freedom?

Be free to become who
I'm meant to become,

no matter the case.

I'll do a lot more than

let innocent people
die while I just watch.

Seen a lot these
past few weeks, huh?

You know, my late
husband, Dragon's father,

was a police officer
here, in Guadalajara.

All he ever talked
about was saving lives,

helping the community.

We have a son.

As soon as he could talk,
he's saying the same.

Wanted to be just
like his father.

But then my husband was shot
and killed in the line of duty.

Hard thing, losing a hero.

Even harder when that
hero is your father.

(dramatic orchestral music)

I'm sorry.

I grew up without my father.

I know.

I can see the chip
on your shoulder.

When a young kid is touched
by that kind of pain,

it shapes them.

Adds a darkness to them

that even the prettiest
smile can't hide.

That pain also takes away hope.

Like I see with
you, and my mother,

the world is what it is,

and we should be
happy with what we got,

never, ever ask for more.

Can you blame a mother?

When your child is involved,

maybe the risk is too much.

I still remember when my son
took the first group of people

across the border.

He was still so young, and
happy, smiling all the time.

He took the first group across,

excited to be
making a difference,

and the second and the third,

and something began to change.

But by the fifth trip,

he was not the same.

Locked himself in his room,

Didn't eat for a week.

When he finally emerged,

he was a different man.

[Eva] Different how?

First, he had these three rules.

Oh, yes. I've heard
those quite a few times.

(Dragon's mother chuckles)

Men will tell you something
until it hurts, won't they?

(both laughing)

Mothers, too.

Oh, wise one, aren't you?

How old are you, if you
don't mind my asking?

[Eva] 25 today.

Today?

Mm-hm.

- Your birthday is today?
- Mm-hm.

Ah!

We need to celebrate!

[Eva] That's what I'm doing!

(Dragon's mother chuckles)

Nonsense.

There is always a party in town,

but we have to pace ourselves.

(Eva laughs)

Salud.

Ah!

Vamanos.

(chuckles)

What about Dragon?

He'll find us when he's ready.

(Eva laughs)

Ladies and gentlemen,
DJ Dub is in the house,

and it's about to go down.

♪ Oooh, I see you

(all chattering)

Okay.

(indistinct)

(laughing)

You found yourself
a good woman there.

(laughs)

(soft music)

(food sizzling)

Morning.

I made you some coffee.

Oh, thank you.

I'm sorry, I wasn't
expecting company.

Can you watch the stove for me?

I have to go to the market.

No, you don't have to, I can go.

- You can go?
- Of course.

Let me give you a bag.

Thank you.
- Of course.

(tense music)

[Girl] I'm sorry!

- I thought she-
- Was alone?

They made me. (whimpering)

(tense music)

He's having the life.

Come on, Miguel.

You really need all these
people to hold your hand.

Look who's holding
my hand now, mi amor.

Drop the knife.

(man clears throat)

You're late to your wedding.

It's all over now.

Nobody's going to help you.

(Eva gasping)

(tense music)

(Miguel's father laughing)

(screaming)
(laughing)

Last time I waited
outside and left you

to work through
everything alone.

Your visa came in.

I wanted to surprise
you and Eva with it.

I'm not going to let you
bring others to freedom,

while you stay here, locked
away in this prison with me.

This is not a prison.

This is a prison!

Times have changed,

and things are no longer
safe for you here.

That is why you must go.

(dramatic orchestral music)

You have a lot of
choices to make,

but please do not come back.

(car engine revving)

Whoo! (laughs)

Whoo! (laughs)

Yeah.

(tin scraping)

Clean up, you filthy
slut. (laughs)

(tin scraping)

Yeah.

(dramatic orchestral music)

You might have to rape me dirty.

(laughing)

I hope they let me put
you out of your misery.

(man laughs)

We have this bet going,

how much of this bottle

is it gonna take to make you
beautiful again. (laughs)

Again? (laughs)

I think we may even need
another bottle. (chuckles)

Hey, save some of
that bottle for me.

(man laughing)

This filthy slut

might have a surprise for you.

(man laughing)
Yeah.

Eva?

I thought we were
past this, dear?

You have made your
point, I understand.

And I promise not to mistreat
you in our life together.

Get the fuck out here,

or I'll have your mother
gutted and turned into paste.

(sighs) Now, that's
more like it.

Come.

Aren't you a sight?

You are going to ask me why.

My father asked me why you too?

It was a great question
that really made me think.

Seeing you here, defiant,

it helps me understand.

(sighs) It's complicated
because you have given me

a long time to think about this.

It's not for beauty,
'cause I can have almost

any beautiful woman I see.

It's for what you are.

As you know I will run a cartel

and live in this
world of luxury.

It's dark,

and you, my love,
will bring the light.

At my darkest moments

I can look up to
you and maybe think

about what could be.

That hope will keep a part of
me alive, in this darkness.

You will be taken care
of, maybe even loved,

but you will never be free
because I can't be free.

(ominous music)

Now put on your dress and
the guards will escort you

to the altar,

or the kennels where
we keep the bitches.

Can I see my mother?

Of course.

You think I'm some
kind of monster?

(dramatic orchestral music)

(all shouting)

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

(blow landing)
(grunting)

Okay, okay.

(screaming)

(dramatic orchestral music)

We got a place for you.

That piece of shit Recelo.

He was right.

I will die in shame,

miles from my home.

Help me, and I'll help
you get your family back.

But I have three rules.

So I've got a car
backed up there.

I've got 10 guys up here.

We'll start with
the south and then...

Okay, so we're improvising.

(suspenseful percussive music)

(body thudding)

(knife slashing)

(blood splattering)

(pounding)

(man laughing)

Now you wanna watch
your mother die?

Would you like to
see your daughter die?

(man laughs)

(men grunting)
(knife slashing)

(screaming)

(thudding)
(man screaming)

(suspenseful music)

(woman panting)

(man grunts)

Go.

Go, go, go, go.

(lighter clicks)

(knife slicing)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(explosion booming)
(uplifting music)

What happened to
the rule number one?

(Dragon chuckles)

You never let me
state my exceptions.

There's something I must do.

You might need this.

I'll meet you at the gate.

(crickets chirping)
(footsteps thudding)

You okay?

Eva?

This bastard had the nerves

to bleed on the smokes. (scoffs)

What a waste.

We need to get you out, get up.

Are we in heaven?

Are we,

are we both dead?

What?

(crying)

I'm killing assholes.

I'm drinking tequila,

and my daughter,

oh,

she's finally getting married.

Come on, let's go.

Ay, Eva.

Eva, wait!

Wait.
- What?

So you're not getting married?

No.

We're getting Dragon and
we're getting out of here.

Eva, Eva!

Eva!

Listen,

you got balls on you,

but you're a fool if you think

some man is gonna come
here and save you.

He's different.

Eva!

My father, he asked me
to give you a message.

Enough!

Let's go!

Mom-

Okay, let's discuss only.

Well, look at that,

she's all dressed
up for her wedding.

My future wife!

Wow, you look so beautiful.

You can take your mother.

Clean yourself up.

Father,

the bride to be.

(man laughs)

Keep an eye on them.

No guns.

This is a wedding.

I'm not doing this.

We brought knives to a gunfight.

(thudding)

(tense music)

Dragon, the Coyote.

The little cucaracha,
always hiding in the dark.

But tonight,

we settle everything,

once and for all.

(machete rattling)

(intense instrumental music)

(men grunting)
(strikes landing)

(Dragon grunting)

You think you can
fight the cartel?

You think you can beat me, huh?

(suspenseful music)

(strikes landing)

(men grunting)

(men grunting)

I came to do more, (panting)

Then just fight you.

(men grunting)

(bones cracking)

(door knocking)

Get him.

(blows landing)

(neck cracking)

(suspenseful music)

Don't worry, I'll put
you out of your misery.

That's a problem.

Look at you.

(intense music)
(laughing)

(knife stabbing)

Scars make sure
we grow stronger.

(Dragon grunts)
(knife cutting)

Okay, where's my bride?

Come on.

(tense music)

Go get my bride.

(man grunting)
(knife slashing)

(all chattering)

Someone bring me a gun.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(knife slicing)

(knife slicing)

Are you sure you
wanna marry this woman?

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(blows thudding)

(Eva grunting)

(knife slicing)

(knife slicing)
(man groaning)

[Man] Go get 'em.

(screaming)

(knife slicing)

(knife slicing)

(breathing heavily)

(dramatic orchestral music)

What did your,
what did your father say?

He said.

[Eva's Father] Tell her I'm
sorry.

Tell her I never stopped
loving her.

(dramatic orchestral music)

I want to say something

wait,

before I die.

(gun clicks)

You women are trash.

Filth is in your blood.

(hand grenade rattling)

[Man] Get down!

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(explosion booming)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Let's go.
- Who's that?

It's Dragon, come on.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

Say goodbye!

No!

(gun firing)

(Eva crying)
(Soledad gasping)

You'll be fine mami.

(Eva crying)

Mama, mama, don't
close your eyes.

Mama, mami please, stay with me.

Stay with me, mama.

Mommy.

(Soledad mumbling)

What the heck are
you still doing here?

(sniffs) Making
sure you're okay.

You lost a lot of blood.

And you found something

I told you didn't
exist. (chuckles)

(sniffs) A man you
could actually trust.

Yeah.

And we can all be safe together.

(inhales deeply)

I'm not going with you.

(dramatic music)

(groans)

People will see me,

and they will charge you.

You might even ruin what
you have going with him.

He said you're
a remarkable woman.

(chuckles)

He's a smart boy.

(Eva laughs)

You don't wanna ask
me anything about him?

They say,

they say that you can
see the worth of a man

on the eyes of his woman.

I can see this man is
worth his weight in gold.

You did good.

(Eva cries)

I can't leave you again, Mommy.

(Eva cries)

I can't.

(Eva cries)

Mija, Eva,

every generation

ends up with debt.

But then, the next generation

gets a chance to move forward,

pay it off.

Move forward, my love.

You are now free.

(uplifting instrumental music)

(door rattling)
