Is everything okay?

- You coming to my rescue,
the damsel in distress?

- Looks like you
handled it yourself.

- My daddy taught me well.

It was running hot.

But he also taught me not to
come out into the desert alone,

lotta wild animals out here.

- Yeah, where you headed?

- Nowhere, somewhere.

I don't know.

I just had to get
outta where I was.

Bad relationship.

At least I got the car.

- Yeah, I woulda pegged
you for a Porsche or a BMW.

- Well, you know what they say.

No,
what do they say?

- Don't judge a
book by its cover.

- Mm.

All right, I'm just gonna check

your license and registration.

- 'Kay.

- This is not a good
area for a breakdown.

We're close to the border,
and there's too many coyotes.

I mean, not the animal kind,

not a place for a
woman alone today.

Thank you.

- Hey, you gotta smoke?

I'd kill for a
cigarette right now.

- Yeah.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- Got it.
- Mm.

- Oh.

Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- You in a relationship?

- Yeah, it's fairly new.

- He a cop, too?

- Yep, he's the new cop in town.

- Was it love at first sight?

- More like lust.

All right, I'm just
gonna run your license,

and then you're good to go.

Your

Angeles, California 90013.

I'm sorry.

Do you need help?

- No, thanks, I'm okay.

- You know, pretty lady
shouldn't be out here

in the desert all alone.

- I think I'll be all right.

- I was thinking, uh, maybe we
could get to know each other

a little bit, have some fun.

- Don't you have
somewhere to be?

I'm in no rush.

- Not interested.

- Come on.

No, no, no, no, no, come here.

Pull the keys.

Unlock it.

Open it and get in.

Get out of the truck, guera.

Working my job I enjoy so much.

We're gonna have some fun,
old lady, and if you fight me,

gonna shoot those little girls.

I can always get some more.

Some like 'em young.

But me,

I like a little wear and tear.

Bend over.

I want to take it up that way.

Take off your panties.

Slower.

Bend over.

- Which one of you's the oldest?

Come help me.

Come.

Sorry, do you speak English?

- Uh.

- What's your name?

- Maria.

- Maria, can you drive?

- Uh, si, not good.

- Okay, help me
with the body, okay?

Yeah.

Um.

Okay, take the truck

- Hello, John.

- Hey, what, what's going on?

- Gimme your keys.

Give me your keys.

And gimme your gun.

Where is it?

- What, what, what,
what's happening here?

Gun, John.

- Just calm down.

Take it easy.
- Gun, don't tell me

what to do.

Let's go.

- Just, just, just, hey.

- Come with me.

This way.

- Where are we going?

- You'll see.

Far enough.

- What the fuck are you doing?

- No, what are you doing, John?

- You know we're
both dead now, right?

- Take off your shoes.

What?

- Take them off.

- Maddy, what the
fuck's wrong with you?

Take 'em off.

- Okay, okay.

You think you're gonna
get away with this?

You're not gonna get
away with this, Maddy.

They're gonna kill me.

Then, they're gonna
come looking for you.

We can work this out.

I'm sorry, Maddy.

I know I've hurt you.

I still love you.

- How many times have
I heard you say that?

It's bad enough what you
did to me, but these girls.

What the fuck
happened to you, John?

- I owe a lot of
people a lot of money.

It's this fucking gambling.

They're gonna kill me, Maddy.

So I started doing
favors for people

and helping people
cross the border,

clearing the way, and
they paid me to do that.

And then, it got
bigger and bigger,

and now it's this whole
fucking trafficking thing.

I have no idea how I
got involved, Maddy.

I have no idea how I got in
so deep, but I need you now.

Please, please
don't leave me now.

I still love you.

We can make a fresh start.

- And, and Rhonda?

- After you lost the baby-

- No, shut up.

Just shut the fuck up.

Don't move.

I'll shoot you.

Get on your knees.

- Maddy, Come on.

- Get on your knees.

You stay there.

Don't move.

- Maddy, what are you doing?

What the?

♪ Never coming back

Oh, shit.

What the hell is going on?

Detective.

- You can call me John.

Okay.

- So when can I take
you up on your offer

to show me around your
lovely little town?

- Well, I'm just finishing
up for Shiv right now.

Do you like tequila?

- I do.

So what is a beautiful
woman like you doing single

and living alone in a
small town like this?

Oh.

I could use that same
line on you,

not that you are beautiful.

Well, but you are.

Um, I was married once,

but he died of cancer.

- Oh, I'm sorry about that.

- Thank you.

We were divorced before,
um, before he got sick.

But we were still
in touch, though.

We were high school
sweethearts.

He had an affair,
so I had to leave.

I grew up in this town, so.

- He a cop, too?

- No, he was a carpenter.

What about you?

Me?

Yeah.

- Also divorced.

Also made my
childhood sweetheart,

but I was married to my career.

You know how it is.

And she was not
too into the job.

Yeah.

- Enough about our past.

Let's drink to our present

- and our future.
- Amen.

This is my bedroom.

- You need some water.

- No.

- Where's your kitchen?

- Right there.

Thank you.

- I want you to
remember our first time.

- Come out, come out and play.

John, I just wanna talk.

I know you're here, gringo.

Where are my girls,
and where's the money?

- I, I, I got a
little sidetracked,

but I know her, and I can
get in touch with her.

- You let yourself get
taken by a woman, gringo?

- Please, let me, let
me get it back for you.

I can do that.

- You know what, John?

Today's your lucky day.

You owe us double now,

and you have 24 hours to bring

that back bitch
back to us alive.

She killed mi amigo,

and I'm gonna make
her pay for that.

- Okay, okay.

- Manny, uh, can
you give me a lift?

Uh, I, I lost my keys.

- Not that lucky.

- Understood.

two.

Those two gringo
punks, all of 'em.

Earphones.

You owe
me a cigarette.

- What made you decide to come?

- This is the second time
she's been trafficked.

Because of you, now the cartel
is coming after me as well.

- Look, you can take
me in now if you want,

but I don't know who to trust.

Neither should you.

I'm pretty sure we'd
be taken out on the way

to the police station
before we even get

a chance to clear my name.

- Our names.

- Here we are, ladies.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Look, if you think that
we're just gonna go drive

across the country like
some sort of vigilantes,

I'm just not up for that.

But I do know I'm not making
much of a difference as a cop,

and I'm done.

I'm done with men just
getting away with shit.

I also know a bit
about gambling.

Come from a family of gamblers,

and I wanted to
save them,

and eventually, they
took me so down with them

that I had to cut them off.

And that's why I
wanted to become a cop.

I wanted to help people

or at least just go out trying,

but you know, we're
just putting Band-Aids

on to slow the bleeding.

- My sentiments exactly.

At first, I was just gonna
warn you and disappear

after helping one truckload.

But something happened.

I mean, I don't have a
10-year plan or anything,

but I do think I have a way

we could at least
make some difference.

It's time we took our
seat at the table.

- I think I might
like you a bit more

than what I like John.

Salud.

Here's to us taking
over the table.

- Cheers.

Those coyotes are after
us, and John will be, too,

if he's still alive.

We're gonna have
to kill ourselves.

- One, two,

three.

Whoo.

Whoa.

You know, soon
they're gonna find out

that those bones aren't ours.

- Eventually, but it'll
take 'em a long time

to work out that crime scene.

- Being an ex-cop does
come in handy sometimes.

I'm sorry you've
been through so much.

I'm sure you've
been through your fair share.

Sorry, I put you in the trunk.

- And shorted my radio

and scared the shit
out of me.

Yeah.

You know I don't
actually smoke, right?

- Officer Hernandez,
what's your 20?

Rhonda, I need your 20, stat.

- Where's Ronda?

- We're putting together
a search party now.

She's been off
air for two hours.

No one can reach her.

You wanna head out with us?

- No, but give me her
last known location.

I'll meet you guys there.

Seven
Romeo Yankee Saddle,

707 traveling east on Highway 1.

Woman in passenger seat
matching description

of Officer Ronda Hernandez.

Proceed with caution as suspect
may be armed and dangerous.

- All units, this is
Detective John Booth.

Suspect is my ex-partners ex.

She's also an ex-cop gone rogue.

I know it's a lot of
exes, but make no mistake,

she has shown
violent tendencies.

She is armed, and she is crazy.

What do you think?

- Well, it's too early to tell,

but we do think it's two bodies,

and we found remnants
of a police uniform.

- Do you really think John's
ex is capable of this?

I'll make the call.

- Okay, good news and bad news.

I found 'em.

They're both dead, and
the money's destroyed.

I don't know.

She must have taken
a hostage planning

to split the money with
him, and all went wrong,

something like that.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah?

She did have those
kind of balls.

Yeah, she was an
ex-cop, you know.

Well, give us a week, and
we'll be back on track.

Shit, dude, you know me.

I will get you double.

You know that.

Absolutely.

- Good morning,
Jessica and Henicca.

I'll be back to practice
my sermon with you, okay?

Everything
okay, officer?

- Get out.
- What the fuck?

Leave your keys.

Don't.

Look, let's go.

Go to the front.

Let's go.

- You're fucking dead.

You know who this load is for?

Shut the fuck up,

or you're fucking.

Take off your clothes.

- Fuck off.
- Come on.

I won't ask twice.

- Fuck off.
- Faster.

Go, and run as fast as you
can so I can't see you.

Go.

Go.

- Are you okay?

You're shaking.

- Well, it's not like every
day I commit armed robbery.

- Yeah.

Look, it wouldn't be the end
of the world if we shoot him.

We do what we have to do.

- Yeah, you know, as a cop, I
wouldn't say that too often.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on, let's get outta here.

- Do you refuse to speak to me?

- Yeah.

- Hi, father.
- No, sit, my child.

Sit.

- Hi, father.
- Just stopped

by to see how the English
lessons are going.

- Oh, quite well, right, Sara?

- Si, good.

- Oh, bless you,
my children, okay?

Bless you, bless you, child.

- Just keep studying, okay?

- Si.

- How you doing today, father?

Ah, blessed,
today is a blessed day.

- Okay, father,
this is your lunch

and for your supplies, okay?

Now, please be careful.

- My child, how many times
do I have to tell you?

With God on my side,
nothing can hurt me.

A few of your
prayers won't hurt.

Hey.

- Hey, where's Officer Brown?

- Resigned.

He's making more money as
an MMA fighter, apparently.

- No kidding?

- Yeah.

Oh, man.

I guess everybody makes
more money than cops.

- Yeah.

Oh, hey John.
- Yeah.

- Mystery thickens.

I just sent you some security
footage from the bus station.

You might find something
interesting in there, I think.

- Thanks, pal.

Hmm.

Detective Booth.

John.

- Mm-hmm.

- Hi, I wanted to get to
you as soon as possible.

It looks like the
human remains are

neither your suspect
or your victim.

I, I'm sorry it took so long.

It was, uh, quite the puzzle,

but it does seem that someone
is trying to lead us astray.

So as soon as I have more info,

I will get back to
you immediately.

- Thank you, buddy.

I really appreciate that.

Man.

Someone got a sweet
tooth there, huh, padre?

- Guilty as charged.

- Have any of you
gentlemen by chance seen

either of these two ladies?

Take your time.

Take a look.

- No.

- Okay.

Thanks for your time.

- Go with God, my son.

- Oh, I don't think God's
on my side anymore, padre,

but thanks just the same.

- Time's up, brother.

You know, we let
your partner go once,

and he actually assured us

that your protection
was secure,

and yet we lost another load.

- I'm on it, man.

I'm getting you money
and a new buyer.

You can double the supply
and make up for the loss.

Done.

- Oh, done?

- Son, you forgot
your credit card.

- Oh, it seems like today
is your lucky day, too.

I draw the line at shooting
in front of a padre.

Here are our new terms.

We'll have a new delivery
for you next week,

and if it doesn't get through,

or anything outside
of our deal happens,

I personally will remove
the rest of your digits

and every other
piece of you slowly.

- I understand.
- Yeah?

Bueno.

Because we've had just about
enough of the two Johns.

'Kay?

- Okay.

- Oh, and when we call,

please pick up your phone.

- I'll do that.

- It's really annoying.

- I still have my
credit card, father.

Thank you.

- You'll need to move locations
again soon, so be ready.

- Be safe.

- You, too.

- Easy, tiger, don't shoot me.

- Jesus, don't do that to me.

- Isn't that taking the
Lord's name in vain?

I just wanted to make
sure you were prepared.

Besides, it's fun.

- Fun?

I almost wet myself and
not in a good way.

- I kinda missed you.

I kind of missed you, too.

- Come.

Come, they're here.

- Oh, okay.
- Come.

- This candy, is this welcome
for me or for the candy?

- Both.

Oh, that one's mine.

- Okay, girls, it's one
each before dinner, okay?

And Sara, welcome the new girls.

- This is Elena,
and this is Sophia.

Hello, hi.

Okay, come, come.

- Come on, come on.

John is looking for you.

- Don't worry, father.

He won't find us here.

- I'll be praying.

- Yay.

- There's food.

- Thank you.

All right, girls,
let's say grace, okay?

So we wanna thank our Lord
for bringing us our girls,

um, for Father Francis,
for the safety of our home.

I also wanna thank for this
yummy, scrumptious meal

we're about to receive and amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

- Amen.

All right, dig in.

- Hey, pal.

Keith
wants to see you.

- John.
- Sir.

- The abandoned truck
was located last week

close to the same
location as the other one.

- Yeah?

- There's evidence of
trafficked girls in there,

and apparently, they
made a pretty quick exit.

I, uh, sent the information
to your computer.

- Thanks, boss.

- Um.

- What?

- From above.
- Yeah.

- You gotta head back into
the city in two weeks.

It looks like the results
aren't justifying continuing.

- What are you talking about?

Our team gets 12 trucks
every six months.

- Apparently, it's not enough.

Also, your funds
have been reallocated

to fighting the avocado war.

- The what?

- The cartels have
moved into produce.

At least now it's easier for
the government to get rid

of the goods they confiscate.

Politics, what can I tell ya?

- Yeah, okay.

Thanks, boss.

- Um, one other thing.

- What?

What's up, sarge?

- Your old partner, John Watson.

Yeah.

- He's under investigation.

Looks like he might
be a dirty cop.

He's gone AWOL, too.

- Man.

Detective.

- Mm-hmm?

- You okay?

- I just need a little sleep.

- Mm-hmm, understandable,
with Rhonda missing

and your ex-partner and
his girlfriend involved.

We're not gonna
call off the search,

but you and I both know,

if we haven't come
across anything by now,

I don't have to tell you

how many unclaimed bodies
are buried out there.

- I know.

- I don't know what
you do with that one.

In this kind of work,

you have to get a
license to get a dog,

but some of these girls have
been sold by their own parents.

What kind of person does
that to another human?

- I know.
- Huh?

You sure you didn't have any
inkling about your old partner?

Okay.

Good afternoon.

- Ugh, I didn't sleep
much last night.

Do you
wanna talk about it?

Not really.

I could use some coffee.

All right.

I made it for you.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

What is it?

Maddy?

What is it?

- It's just seeing his face.

- Yeah.

Did you think about talking
with Father Francis?

- Oh, stop shoving your fucking
religion down my throat.

- Okay, okay.

- I mean, all the things I've
done, the things we've done,

you really think your God
would be okay with that?

- Our God.

God is love.

- 99% of the cops I know
get into it to save lives,

not to take 'em.

When I was a little girl,
I would imagine growing up,

and getting married,
and having kids.

Yeah.

We all wanted that,
loving family,

nice husband, and kids.

- John took that away from me.

- Maddy.

Maddy.

- Sorry, sorry,
what did you say?

- You just look miles away.

We were just talking about
how this could be our chance

to have a loving family.

- Yeah, maybe.

- Do you think we should
hold off on tomorrow?

- No, no.

- John's getting pretty close.

- No.

It's all the more
reason to move forward.

John's getting desperate.

That's why he's
getting more girls.

We go ahead with the plan.

Made a pact, didn't we?

- Yeah.

- Get out as many
girls as we can.

- Okay.

What made you stop
believing in God?

- Wasn't an instant thing.

After you see the
way that humans treat
humans continuously,

sitting in courtrooms and
watching potheads going to jail

while rapists, and racists,
and murderers go free

on some technicality.

- Yeah.

- Only the dumb ones get caught.

- Yeah.

Many have lost their way.

- You're starting to
sound like Father Francis.

- You know, God knows
we're not perfect.

He doesn't expect us to be.

He's also all loving.

He's also all forgiving.

I'm just saying, like,

if only you would just,
you know, try talking

with Father Francis.

Maybe that would help you
sleep better at night.

- Now, I just really don't
feel like talking at all.

- You are late.

- Yeah, well, maybe if you
assholes would stop trailing me

all over town, proving
nothing except I'm capable

of losing your tail, so
stop wasting your time.

You're new.

Where are you from?

You're not Mexican.

- Being Mexican is not part

of the job description,
motherfucker.

Shalom, let's keep this moving.

- Yes?
- Open it up.

You said they were young.

How old is this one?

- Old enough.

I want you to know, I had
orders to dispose of you today

if anything wasn't
according to plan.

You being 20 minute late
was not according to plan.

All right, let's go.

Get out slowly.

- Do you know who
you're dealing with?

Get out slowly.

Leave the gun and the keys.

- What are you waiting for?

You are dead.

- Fucker.

Hey.

I'll take the truck this time.

You need to get
yourself cleaned up.

Come on.

You okay?
- Yeah, yeah.

All right.

- It's Anna.

- Okay, Anna.

- I can handle this.

But that little one today, Anna,

she's only eight years old.

- You're doing good work.

Good work.

- But are we really
making a difference?

It's never ending.

- I used to feel the same way.

Then, my priest told me a story.

There was a little girl
walking along the beach

with her grandfather,

and there were thousands
of starfish washed up

on the shore, and
they were all dying.

The little girl
was really upset.

So they started throwing
them back in the water,

and after a while,
they were exhausted.

And the little girl
said, "It's no use.

We can't save them all.

We're not making
any difference."

And the grandfather
instructed the little girl,

"Just pick up that
one," and she did,

threw it back in the water.

And he said, "See,
you are making a
difference to that one."

- I'm getting the
girls ready for bed

a little early tonight.

- Thanks.

- It's about time.

Where the fuck have you been?

I'm trying
to fix things.

- Oh, are you gonna
be here tonight?

This is getting
outta hand, you know.

I'm a bit
busy keeping us alive.

- Are you joking?

Why would I trust you?

The shit you've gotten me into,

and you're nowhere to be found.

I told you
I'm gonna fix things.

- Then, fix things,
then fix things.

It's on you.

How much is that?

- 15,000.

- Big time.

- Last hand, I'm in.

All in.

He's all in.

- You got this?

I guess it's my
lucky night.

You can forget
about it.

Yeah.

- Ooh, yeah, good
times, good times, John.

Please, please.

Is that, is that for me?

- I was just on my way
to the deliver this.

- Figured that, but how 'bout
I save you a little trip?

Ooh.

Hey, your phone is ringing.

Pick it up.

- Yeah.

The shipment
didn't arrive.

- What?

The truck
never showed up.

We had our chance.
- What?

And now we're
well and truly fucked.

- Tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened.

- If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just,

and will forgive us our sins,

and purify us from
all unrighteousness.

How are you doing, my child?

- I think I'm getting a little
old to be called my child.

- Is there something
troubling you?

- Oh, you mean more than usual?

The fact that I'm a cop and
now a fugitive of the law.

John is closing in on us,

and I just shot a guy
in the back of the head.

- The Lord sees you, Rhonda.

Keep asking him for forgiveness,
and he'll show you the way.

- Thank you, father.

- Hey, what's up?

- Father Francis today talked

about, if we confess your sins-

- Uh, maybe this is something

you should talk to Rhonda about.

- No, uh, you, you saw me,

how I was before,

before I had done things,

made, made to do things.

My uncle,

how can anyone want me
after what I've done?

Sara, listen to me.

This is not your fault.

Look, we can't change
what's happened in the past,

but Father Francis is right.

You have to forgive yourself.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I love you.

We all love you.

- My little brother, too?

He's a good boy.

Maybe, maybe he could come
and, and live with us here.

- Honey, we've, we
talked about this before.

This mission's only for girls.

Girls need time to build
trust, and feel safe,

and just be girls.

I'm sorry.

It's just, it's just not safe

for you to contact him, okay?

Come here.

Let's go.

- Do you think they'll be
able to get over their past?

- With a lot of love
and support, yeah, I do.

- Do you think we'll be
able to get over ours?

- Maybe.

- It's just, you know, John
wasn't always like that.

We had a few good years.

- Yeah.

He was good
physically.

He did have a nice-
- I know what you mean.

- Maybe it was
partially my fault.

- You know, all those domestics

we got called to, used
to think like you.

Why do these women stay?

They were probably so
damaged to put up with it.

I just thought they were weak.

I thought the same
thing about my mother.

- I mean, once you know,
how long do you stay

and try to help and support
them before you lose yourself?

- When the bad
outweighs the good.

- I ask myself, did John
always have this evil in him,

or, or did it spread

like a cancer, just growing?

Is it the chicken or the egg?

You know, I always wondered
about that question.

- I'm not sure I could explain
it adequately either, father.

- Thank you.
- Gracias.

Yeah,
tequila fixes everything.

- Salud.
- Salud.

- What is it?

- I, I wrote letters
to my brother.

- It's okay.

Leave a message.

- Please answer.

Leave a message.

Leave a message.

Leave a message.

- Hi there, um, just
wanted to let you know

that the weather
has turned here.

It's time to go on vacation.

Hi there, um, just
wanted to let you know

that the weather
has turned here.

It's time to go on vacation.

- Yeah.

One of the soldiers
has something for you.

Follow it up.

- Okay, but listen,
that last truckload,

that girl was what,
eight years old, maybe.

This is-
- Hey,

you knew what you
were getting into.

Don't develop a conscience now.

Send me a screenshot.

Don't fuck this up.

Maybe we let you live, too.

- Steve, I'm
heading to the city.

I'll be gone two days max.

No intel shipments coming in
this week, so it's all good.

Yeah.

Later.

- No, John was just there.

- Well, then how
did you meet Maddy?

- Oh, first time I met
her, she came to my house.

She was called to a
domestic, they call it.

She was a cop.

The neighbors must have called.

I could see so much
judgment in her eyes.

She was thinking,

"What does this rich, young
couple got to fight about?"

Took me three
times to leave him.

A third time, we were
staying in this fancy resort,

and I must have taken too long
to come back from the bar.

And then, he dragged
me through the foyer

in this fancy resort, and all
these people were staring.

Then, we got back
to the hotel room,

and he just kept
kicking me on the floor.

And I didn't do anything.

I just lay on the floor numb.

- The, the first
time I was taken,

I went into town with my mother.

She took me to meet
this woman at a store.

I was supposed to go with her,

and she was going to help me

go to a school.

She, she looked very
professional and successful.

- Oh.

- She even had her little
baby girl with her.

She was very nice
and told my mom

that I would be
staying at her house

and that I would
be looked after.

I was taken to a compound
with security guards

and locked in a room
where I was raped daily.

The only time we ever
left the compound was

when we were taken to events,

poker games and men watching

big-screen football games.

We were the halftime
entertainment.

One time, there were cops there.

I saw their badges,
so even if I ran,

where would I run to?

And after six months,
there was finally a raid

on the compound, and I was
returned to my family.

My mama, she cried a lot.

Papa, he couldn't
look me in the eye.

- Maria, you are
not alone today,

and I can't promise you

that you're ever gonna
feel completely safe,

but I'm gonna do whatever
I can to help you go on.

'Kay?

Okay?

- Yeah.

- When Father Francis
comes tomorrow,

I would like to go with him
and little Maria to help

at the mission, but I-
- No, no, no, no.

That's a good idea.

This is just a stopover.

The mission is where
you can grow strong

and empowered with time.

Okay?

- Oh.

Are you okay?

- Okay.

Now, we're gonna
play a little game.

It won't be long before
we're all at our new house,

but I want you to
stay down, okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

You to, Maria, you get down.

- Fancy meeting you
here again, father.

What, are you feeding
the entire flock today?

- Well, I, I don't get
into town so often,

so I'm stocking up.

- Right, right, right.

Where do you live?

- Just over the border.

- Mm.

Where over the border?

I'm curious.

I might like to come visit
you, pay my respects.

- Well, uh.

Ah, oh, man.

- Kids probably threw a
rock, those little shits.

- If I find 'em, I'll shoot 'em.

- Better get that fixed
as soon as you can,

and watch out for the,
uh, glass on the seat.

- Thanks for the advice, padre.

Hey, padre, I just realized
I never got your address.

- Oh.
- Hey, here,

write it down for me, would ya?

- Nothing really happens
at my little mission,

but, you know,
you're welcome to stop by.

I'd better, uh, start
getting back home

'cause it's getting dark,

and my eyes ain't
what they used to be.

I get it, sure.

Son of a.

- It's okay, but stay down.

We got it.

- But he has the address now.

- Ay, silly me.

I must be losing my.

I gave him the, the address
to when I was a little boy.

- Come, come.

Let's make 'em feel welcome.

- She insisted on coming.

- Oh.

Hi.

I want to stay here-
♪ Show me who you are

- and help you.
♪ Hidden diamond star

♪ More than you know

♪ More than you know

- I'm so excited.
- I know.

- I'm excited.
- Sounds good.

♪ More than you know,
more than you know ♪

♪ The flames rise higher

- Bow your heads, children.

♪ A heart on fire

- Thank you, our Lord, for
what we're about to receive,

this wonderful feast, and
this delicious dessert,

and for bringing all
these children together.

Please continue to watch over us

and lead the way
for those in need

so that we can continue
to be of service to them.

Amen.

Amen.

Now, we
can eat.

- Chicken, chicken, chicken.

- I hear you.

You owe me.

- I owe you nothing.

- Read my fucking lips.

I need to disappear.

Never call here again.

- I see you, motherfucker.

You shoulda shot me
when you had the chance.

The
number you have called is

no longer in service.

The number you have called
is no longer in service.

- Where are you?

Where the fuck are you?

- Today was a close call.

I don't think your detective
is gonna stop looking for you.

- He's not our detective.

No, you're right, father.

I think it's time we put
our vacation plan in place.

- I told you when you
first got here, my child,

this is my church, my home.

I'm not going to let evil
chase me out of here.

And besides, I
don't do vacation.

- Does that mean that
there is no saving him?

- I have hope for everyone.

But.

How you doing again?

- Hey.

- So how often does the father
come in here for supplies?

- About once every
two weeks or so.

- Ah.

What time of day and what
day does usually come in?

- It's not regular.

It's different times.

I don't really recall.

- Right, right,
you don't recall.

- No.
- Okey dokey.

You know, I met your lovely
daughter this morning.

You live at 34 Hill
Street.

And you know, it
always blows my mind.

Here we are standing
in the flats,

and you live on a street
called Hill Street.

How old is your daughter, 11?

It's such a cute age,
just before the big change

when they're still young.

They're still innocent.
- It's not regular,

but it's always in the
morning, Thursdays or Fridays.

- Thursdays and Fridays
always in the morning?

You sure?
- Positive.

- Thanks, pal.

Have a good day.

- I need intel on
a new safe house

for Adele Stevens in LA.

Yeah, she's in bed
with some bad Mexicans.

We need to find her first.

No, she, listen to me.

She won't be far from her last
known address, so find her.

Put her face out
there everywhere.

Find her.

- Oh, sorry, I was just
on the phone with Horatio.

John was just there again.

He's waiting for Father Francis,

and Horatio, he's not
gonna help us anymore

with any other information.

He's done.

- Okay, do you know anyone we
can get some firepower from?

- I think so.

- Someone you can trust?

- Yeah.
- Okay, great.

We're gonna give the girls
a nice Christmas memory,

and then we're gonna move
on the vacation plan.

- Okay, yeah.

- Okay.
- Let's go.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Looks so good.

- Will we be seeing you
at midnight mass, Maddy?

- Ooh, maybe this-
- Yay.

- This goes up-
- You made it with balls.

- We are grateful that God
gave himself into our hands

as a child begging for our love,

implanting his
peace in our hearts.

Break the rods of oppression,
burn the trampling boots.

Let the time of garments
soaked in blood come to an end.

Fulfill the prophecy that
peace there will be no end.

We thank thee, oh,
Lord, for your goodness,

but we also ask you to
show forth your power.

Establish the
dominion of your truth

and love in the world.

- How did you get in?

The door was open.

- I always lock it.

- It was open to me.

Adele Stevens, I need to
ask you a few questions.

We know girls were brought here.

We can prove that.

The policewomen who helped you,

they're in big-ass trouble.

They all are.

Now, I need to know where
they are so I keep them

from getting killed.
- I know who you are.

You're a dirty cop.

- I'm not playing games here.

Give me an answer.

Where are the girls?

I need to protect them.

- You can kill me if you want.

But I don't know where
they are, and if I did,

I wouldn't tell you.

- Tell me where they are

so I can save them.
- Bullshit.

You're a liar.

- Tell me where they are if you
wanna see another Christmas.

No.

- I told you to run
when the bad man comes.

Run.

- I know you're not smart enough
to save yourself, but what

about the little ones?
- Let her go.

Ah, you little bitch.

- Stop, you're strangling her.

Let her go.

Let her go.

- Son of a.

Merry Christmas,
I come bearing gifts.

Mm, whoa,
must be a good friend.

- Yeah, I helped his sister
once, and he was very grateful.

I'd say so.

- Anna.

- Okay, so awesome.

- Yes.

- Wow.

- I got it.

I already got my presents.

She helped me with
mass last night.

- What are you gonna open?

Open, open, open.

- What about you?

You don't have any?

- Don't worry about me.

- Oh.

- Oh.
- Oh-ho.

- Oh, look at that.

- Oh.

Oh, this is the most
beautifulest thing
I've ever seen.

- Yes.

How does this look?

- It's great.

- Oh, my God, you look so good.

I love that.

- John is on his way.

I know, boy.

Did you help?
- Yes.

- No, we have a little time.

He's not taking our Christmas.

Did you work on it?

- Yes.
- Whoa.

Everybody did.

- Father.
- Oh, thank you, yes.

- We did it.
- And that heart is

for all you.
- Yeah.

- Ticktock,
ticktock, time is up.

- I found 'em, okay?

I found the cops that took
the girls and the money.

I'm just on my way
there right now.

- That's really convenient,
I mean, right now,

at the very moment
of your execution.

- Let me go and
take care of this.

Let me go and kill
these motherfuckers.

- I wouldn't do that, John.

That doesn't even make
any fucking sense.

We do it ourselves.

I mean, really.

We know the heat is on you.

You left so many
loose ends, John.

And quite frankly, it's
very unprofessional.

You are of no use to us now.
- Let me be of use.

- Wow.
- Let me go and finish them.

I can plant some evidence.

I can spin it so I come
out smelling like a rose.

And then we continue on, and
I know I fucked up royally,

but let me make good on it,

and then we can
continue our work.

- Our work?

You're really fucking
smart, you know that?

But I like you, John.

Raul, you go with him.

Bring me back the girls alive.

You have 12 hours.

- Have my word.

And let me just say-
- Fuck outta here now.

- Yeah, I drew short straw,
working Christmas day.

- I just need some firepower.

I found the location,
Rhonda and Maddy.

They're running their
own trafficking operation

with a crooked padre.

- What?

Well, wait, that's a stretch.

Wait, hold up a second.

I'll come with you.

- Two women and a priest,
I think I can handle that.

- Those women are both cops.

- Ex-cops.

I need to do this alone, pal.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

Okay,
let's go, let's go.

- Okay, everyone, we're gonna
go on a little adventure.

- Can we bring our presents?
- Everyone.

- You too, father.

- Yes, um, but hurry.
- You're going with them

on this adventure.

- No, I'm staying with you.

- I'm sorry, father, but
you'll just be in the way.

It'll be too dangerous.

- I know how to shoot a gun.

I wasn't always a priest.

I had to find my own way, too.

- But killing?

- In extreme circumstances,
it takes extreme measures.

I think God'll forgive me
if it becomes necessary.

- Here we go.

Drop the gun, padre.

I'm gonna take you in, pal.

- Dios mio.
- Rhonda and Maddy, too.

- I kneel down before you today

protecting as many
children as I can.

- Put the gun down, padre.

- Forgive my sins.

- Drop the gun, padre.
- And let me bask

in your glory.
- No one's gotta die today.

- Father, father, you okay?

Father, father.

Father, father, father,
okay, okay, father.

Take it easy, take it easy.

It's all right. It's all right.

Don't move, sh.

I'm here, I'm here.

- Uh, tell the children
to make it better.

- I will, I will.

Relax, relax.

I need an ambulance stat
to this location now.

Father, father.

Go, go, go, go.

Go that way.

- Maddy.

Come on out of there, Maddy.

Let's talk this through.

- Little late for that, John.

- Never too late, baby.

Come on out.

- I don't wanna hurt you.

- Well, nobody's gotta get hurt.

- Drop it.

Rhonda.

The fuck, dude?

- Stop. Back up.

- Hey, calm, guy, guy,
guy, just calm down, okay?

- Get out of the way.

- Just everybody just
fucking calm down.

Nobody shoot anybody.

- John.

- I fired.

I'm so sorry.

- Rhonda.

You okay?

We need to get you
to the hospital.

Shit, we got company.

Who the fuck are you?

- I'm FBI.

I saw everything.

I'm here to help.

I've been following John
for a long time now.

I have been gathering evidence
on him to put him away

for a very, very long time.

He has connections at the
top, the cartel, everybody.

- You're a little fucking late.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

- Why should we trust you?

- I don't think
you have a choice.

- Let me see your badge.

Look, we don't
have a lot of time.

Let's, let's get
her to a hospital.

- Okay, help me.

Come on.

I'm gonna get you out, but
we gotta get to the cars.

- All right.
- Come on.

You're okay.

- I'll follow you.

I'll make sure
everyone's okay, okay?

Grab that gun.

- Come on, girls, let's go.

Let's go.

Get out, get out.

Come on, the lot of ya.

Who else is in there?

Come on, let's go
get in this truck.

Get in, let's go.

Get in the truck now, now.

- Maddy, Maddy, no.

Maddy.

Maddy, Maddy, wake up, wake up.

Let's get you up,
let's get you up.

Let's get you to the
hospital, Maddy, please.

Come on, come on.

Oh, my God, no.

Maddy, Maddy.

I'm okay.

Uh, they're treating me
good here and just resting.

Good, good.

I'm glad you're getting better.

That's, that's the main thing.

Just focus on getting better.
- I want to know

who the leader of the cartel is.

- Two weeks, then call me.

I'll explain everything.

I promise.

- Okay.

Okay, bye.

Dr. Kaufman,

telephone please, Dr. Kaufman.

We were
supposed to take this

down before New Year's.

- Well, we've been a bit busy.

Besides, wanted to leave
it on as long as I could.

You stay here.

You keep going.

It's okay.

- Uh, well, firstly,
I'd like to say

that, um I'm sorry
for everything.

Um, what I can say is that,
through our joint efforts,

we were able to take
down one whole branch

of the tree with the
child trafficking.

More will spring up,
of course, but Maddy,

Maria, Father Francis's
life was not in vain.

- What about the money?

- What money?

The last thing that Father
Francis asked me was

if the children could
make it better for him.

- Where were you
when Maria got shot?

This was her second time
she was supposedly saved.

You do nothing.

Father Francis, Maddy, Anna,

you let innocent children
die, get strangled.

She will never be the same.

None of us will.

Give me the gun, Sara.

- You're right.

The system's broken.

- You people with badges,

you don't care who is
sacrificed for the greater-

- Give me the gun, Sara.

Sara, you're right.

But this is not gonna
make you feel any better.

Give me the gun.

Come on.

That's it.

That's it, Sara.

Gimme the gun.

- You're right.

Too many innocents are
lost for the greater good.

I don't know what difference
that I can actually make,

but I'm doing

everything in my power to help.

May I, uh, give you something?

Slowly.

- Charitable fund
has been started,

and several large donors
have already donated,

reputable business people
assisting with investing

so that your safe home

and the mission school can,
well, last long into the future.

Well, I'll, I'll try to
leave you in peace, um.

Again, I'm sorry.

Call me anytime.

- Let's see.

Look, it's from Father Francis.

Oh, oh, it's okay.
