" She was taken to a party." " Drugged, raped..." "Police?" "Some." "Weird shit has been happening since my aunt died." "Is someone following you?" "All the time." "The person you need to talk to" "Is chuchito." "Hello?" "Chuchito?" "Captain robles sent me here" "To work the case." "That's all we got." "Who else was in the car?" "He crossed with a woman." "Kind of strange-looking." "You want me to get some guys together?" "No." "I want to let the local cops chase her." "Have you been with a woman before?" "No." "Need some help?" "Uh..." "Are all these things on sale?" "Yeah." "Buy one, get one half off." "I would like to try them on, please." "You betcha." "You'll have to leave the bag out here." "Store policy." "I'm not going to steal anything." "I promise." "I guess it's okay." "I'll be right out here" "If you need another size or anything." "No." "I prefer to be by myself, if that's okay." "What?" "That wasn't as good as the first time." "For me, I mean." "You always, uh..." "Are you always this honest?" "Should I lie?" "Um..." "No." "No, you shouldn't." "Don't worry." "It will be better next time." "Sure." "All right, then, well, you're official." "Gracias." "Just going to wait around for the lieutenant?" "Got nothing better to do." "Okay." "Well, if you don't have a place to stay," "I got one of those air mattress thingies." "Thank you." "Thanks." "I-I'm fine." "All right." "Well, if you change your mind," "I make a mean omelet." "I'm sure you do." "Take care, kitty." "You, too." "Good night, lieutenant." "Good night, miss kitty." "Marco ruiz." "Hey, hank." "Welcome back." "Good to see you." "How you been?" "I've been okay." "You know..." "You going back across tonight?" "No, I don't think so." "Well, then, I've got some fancy rye whiskey" "I would like to dip into." "Come on." "Sonya tells me you're having some trouble down there." "One of my own men tried to kill me." "This thing with eva..." "She someplace safe?" "For now." "Good." "Hey, you want to go see her?" "I can arrange that." "I'd rather not." "They have men watching me." "Sent a prosecutor out from mexico city." "He's been asking questions." "Well, until things cool down down there, I..." "I could use you on this case." "Dea's all over it," "Cartel implications, you know the drill." "We could use your perspective on things." "Of course." "I'll see what I can do." "And if you want me to cover" "For you with robles, you just say the word." "Gracias, hank." "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "I wasn't finished with that!" "Hey, hold the wheel." "I gotta drain rayray." "Oh, come on, man..." "What?" "A man's gotta go when a man's gotta go." "Sick pig." "One of these days," "I'm gonna learn how to speak mexican, cesar." "The wheel, compadre." "Holy..." "Did you see that?" "Watch it, watch it, watch it!" "What the hell?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Okay, okay!" "Keys." "Phone." "Shit, man, okay, okay." "Okay." "All right." "Relax." "We're just here for the dope, okay?" "No comprende." "We do him first, then you." "All right?" "The dope..." "It's not yours." "Why die for it?" "It's in the back." "Nada." "Where is it?" "Eat shit, paco." "Where is it?" "It's in the horse." "Up its ass." "What?" "Ask him." "It was his idea." "Oh." "Sorry 'bout that, vickers." "Ugh!" "Ugh..." "There." "Now what?" "Okay." "If you're going to do it, do it!" "I'm not gonna shoot you." "I'll leave that up to fausto galvan." "Adios, amigos." "Get that shit." "Ray?" "Oh." "Where have you been?" "Well, didn't you get my text?" "I fell off my horse." "I broke my wrist." "We got hit." "What?" "Hit, hit." "You know." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Vickers ain't so good, though." "What happened?" "Char, we can't talk about this on the phone." "¿comprendo?" "Uh-huh." "All right." "Pack a bag and hang tight." "Remember the plan." "Hey." "Hey." "What's up?" "The kid." "Just came in with his mom." "He says he saw a woman that fits our description." "When?" "That night." "Washing blood off herself." "About a mile from the crime scene." "Have you talked to him yet?" "I'm just going in." "Can I sit in?" "Of course." "Focus, dex." "Good." "Is this her?" "Yeah." "But you said she was naked, right?" "Yeah." "She had tattoos" "Like aunt molly has on her back." "What kind of tattoos?" "Scary." "I-I didn't get very close." "She came toward us and I ran." "Kyle stayed, though." "That's your friend?" "Why didn't he run?" "'cause she was naked, I guess." "And do you know where your friend is right now?" "That's the thing." "I don't." "He didn't show up at school" "And he isn't texting me back." "What did this woman do?" "That is what we're" "Trying to find out, ma'am." "Have you told anybody else about this?" "I brought him right here as soon as I heard this." "Do you think kyle's gonna be okay?" "Well, we don't know." "I should've stayed." "No, no, no, no." "You did the right thing." "We'll find him." "Oh, it's okay." "He didn't go to school." "And the car?" "Uh, minivan." "I mean, we would let him use it, but only with one of us." "He knows better." "Is anything else missing?" "Just some of my wife's clothes." "What else?" "Left the milk and the bread out." "But that's normal operating procedure for him" "When he comes home late." "He didn't have a curfew?" "We tried, but he would sneak out with his friends." "Do you have kids?" "Uh, no." "Children do better with curfews." "How is this helping" "To get our son back?" "These are very cool." "Thanks." "I know many of these people already asked you, but..." "Just between you and me..." "You see anything" "The morning your brother left?" "Someone took my metamorphosis card." "What's a "metamorphosis card"?" "I'll show you." " Hey, señora?" " Señora!" "No gracias." "Oh, not him." "Why you want him?" "He had an accident." "He's not right." "What is your name?" "Jaime." "Do you want a job, jaime?" "Okay." "You work for me?" "You walk faster." "Any idea how the boy figures into this?" "Oh, she's using him." "She got a car, clothes." "Who knows what else?" "That's all?" "So far." "We have reasons to believe that he's still with her." "Hmm." "Could be some kind of sex thing." "You said she has tattoos, right?" "I don't follow you." "Women with tattoos, statistically speaking," "Are more sexually adventurous." "Why don't you tell us" "How she fits into the cartel?" "She's not a girlfriend." "There's been some chatter about a woman working" "In the fausto galvan operation." "Unsubstantiated chatter, mind you, but they say that" "She is a mennonite." "You're serious?" "Shunned mennonite." "Normally cartels don't employ women" "In the upper levels." "It sounds like they've made an exception." "So, what makes this woman so special?" "I'm not at liberty to say." "We share, you share." "That deal only extends to our partners" "Here in the el paso police department." "Detective ruiz is a member" "Of our team." "With all due respect, lieutenant," "You might've found" "Jimmy tecca's body buried under beetles" "Here in el paso, but he was murdered in juárez." "And we have our reasons for not trusting" "The mexican police." "What's up?" "A feller at mine key storage up on dakota ridge" "I.D.'d yovani garza" "Coming in three days ago." "He was with a woman." "Let's go see this." "Hey there, joe?" "You got a minute?" "What's on your mind, hank?" "Okay, and what else are you not sharing with me?" "Her name is eleanor nacht." "One of fausto's money people." "We grab her, we have a legitimate shot" "At bringing down fausto galvan." "Do the world a favor." "Not really." "He exists" "Because higher-ups on both sides" "Of the border let him exist." "Yeah, copy that." "Mm-hmm." "All I ask is" "That you manage your people" "And keep the big picture in mind." ""the big picture."" "Mm-hmm." "Okay." "This is it, right?" "Please be alive." "Aw." "I was kind of hoping you'd be all dressed up." "Were you followed?" "Uh, no." "But we did find your bonboncito." "You want to let us in?" "I knew it." "What did they do to him?" "It was bad." "They stuffed him into a duffel bag." "Oh, my god." "Look, I don't want to be an asshole" "Or whatever, but if you know who killed chuchito," "You got to tell us, man." "Was it the cartel?" "He had another job with the cartel." "Setting up a new money house." "I saw him with the woman in charge." "I don't understand." "Why would they kill him?" "It's the cartel." "It's just how they do business." "It wasn't them." "Then who was it?" "I don't know." "But they'll be following you now." "Have fun with that." "Has marco found her yet?" "No." "They think she took a kid." "Why do they say that?" "What do I know?" "Maybe she likes kids." "I lost a load." "Cost of doing business." "Don't tell me how to handle my business." "I didn't know." "When did it happen?" "Last night." "In el paso." "It was a small load." "Punk kids from juárez." "The bellagua neighborhood." "Do you want me to take care of it?" "No." "I'll make my point." "Maybe your men should stay away" "From the bellagua neighborhood for the next few days." "Okay." "I'll make sure of it." "The prosecutor?" "Boy sent to do a man's job." "I'll take care of him." "Good." "Sorry." "I didn't know you were here." "Well, keep looking." "What about this?" "How much for this?" "Who is this going to be for?" "Just..." "A girl." "I'd say it's $18." "Okay." "Now..." "Would you like a rock?" "Well, what would I want with a rock?" "Take it." "You'll need it." "David took" "That son of a bitch goliath down with a single stone." "Bob." "I pretty much need some ibuprofen right now." "All right, we'll have inez fix you up after." "We got business." "What's going on?" "We had a security breach in the northwest quadrant" "Last night." "Guy got caught up in the concertina wire" "Out there by the stock tank." "Who is it?" "Mexican cop." "Came looking for eva." "Pretty sure he's the same guy that went out to hank's place." "What for?" "Well, it wasn't exactly a social call 'cause he had a knife on him." "You been questioning him?" "He has been what you might call" "A little bit stoic, but..." "We're working around that." "Isn't that right, alejandro?" "Hola, amigo." "There's no need for spanish, steven." "We're speaking the universal language of pain." "Bob..." "Trying to show him the truth." "Bob!" "You give me one minute, bob." "I want to hear his story." "Here." "Clear." "These are kyle's clothes." "Miss nacht." "Hello." "What can I do for you?" "Something happened." "No, no." "I'm managing it." "I'm managing it." "Jaime!" "Careful." "There's one more thing I need to take care of" "Before I go to juárez." "I got to take this." "Sorry." "What's up?" "Sí." "No, I can't." "Things got complicated because this woman has" "One of these storage units." "I don't know." "I'm still here." "I gotta go." "Who was that?" "Captain robles." "He wanted an update on the case." "Kyle's dead." "We don't know that, sonya." "If he's alive, where is he?" "Let's go find him." "All right, we'll be by to pick you up in five." "I'm not going anywhere." "Oh, dude, what are you talking about?" "They knew exactly how much dope we had," "Which means we are being set up." "I'm going home." "I'm gonna be with my wife, my kids." "Maybe watch a video." "What kind of zen bullshit is that?" "Running will only piss him off." "Whatever." "Good luck, ray." "You get a hold of monte?" "No, he's not picking up." "What in the hell we pay him for?" "How-how did they know?" "Don't know." "They were waiting for us." "You believe that shit?" "I got ripped by a bunch of taco benders on bikes." "Well, where are we gonna go?" "I'm thinking alaska." ""alaska"?" "Yeah." "It's cold." "Mexicans don't like the cold." "Look, what if there was another option?" "What?" "Like what?" "Like maybe we call the police," "Uh, or-or somebody like that." "Maybe we make a deal." ""deal"?" "Babe, let me stop you right there." "There is no deal, okay?" "We lost a load and we survived," "Which means fausto's gonna think we had something to do with it," "Which means he's gonna ask us questions," "And by "questions," I mean torture!" "All right?" "Maybe something with dogs" "Or a tire, gasoline..." "I don't know." "But I'm not gonna stick around and find out." "So I say we act like white people and disappear" "And let our lawyer do the talking." "Does that guy look like he's got" "Seven different bank accounts?" "So it was chuchito's job to take big chunks of money," "Split it up, and put it in a bank." "Yeah, not "a" bank." "Rayburn national bank." "Look it... now he's gonna walk back to the guy in the truck." "Who's that guy?" "And you're telling me all these men work for a woman?" "You ever heard of a woman that works for the cartel?" "Not unless she's sucking on a dick." "I'm serious." "Chuchito was supposed to set up a new money house" "And then he was killed." "It doesn't really look like it's" "Affecting business much, does it?" "Do you ever think about tate?" "He killed my son." "Of course I think about him." "Why did he do it?" "Sometimes..." "In the middle of the night Gus is there with me." "I don't believe in ghosts." "No." "It's not like that." "I can feel his presence in the room." "And it's good." "Sometimes I think I can hear his voice." "That's never happened to me." "Well, that is all I have left." "You still haven't shaved." "I brought you something." "It's an apache tear." "Here." "It's beautiful." "When the apaches were fighting the cavalry," "They knew they were gonna lose." "So they rode their horses off cliffs." "When their mothers cried," "Their tears turned into stones." "Like this one." "So they say." "It made you think of me?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Bob told me you're, uh," "Beginning to remember details about that night." "If you want to..." "Talk..." "I could be the one to listen." "None of those men will ever pay for what they did." "Nothing I say will stop it" "From happening again." "I don't agree." "I do not agree." "You're not alone in the darkness." "What do you want to know?" "You see what I mean?" "The creature is essentially just a sphere with eyeballs." "And we can't even begin to comprehend" "The-the scope and range" "Of that creature's vision." "And I'm not talking about," "Like, a seven-headed hydra, I'm talking..." "Sunday school's over, bob." "Aah!" "Dex." "You make noise, I will kill your mother." "Do you understand?" "Good boy." "Do you know why I'm here?" "No." "Please..." "You looked upon me, dex." "I didn't mean to." "Please..." "Kyle wanted to touch." "Do you want to touch?" "No." "Where is kyle?" "I changed him." "Do you want to see?" "No." "Come, I'll show you." "Come." "No, I really don't want to." "You're really just a little boy, aren't you?" "I can see the light." "You are full of it." "Close your eyes." "Close your eyes." "Your friend..." "He's with the butterflies." "What else did she say?" "She said she had kyle" "And she wanted me to go see him." "Why didn't you?" "She changed her mind, I guess." "And then she just left?" "Why?" "Something happened." "You need to tell us everything," "Dex." "I had an accident." "I couldn't help it." "I peed in the bed." "She told me to close my eyes" "And then, when I opened them," "She was gone." "Did she say where kyle was?" "No..." "Just that he was with the butterflies." "I don't know what she meant." "If I scream..." "It's gonna be the same." "You understand?" "Yes." "N-no." "Please, not the gun." "I want to be pretty." "This is what I'm gonna do." "I'm gonna put it up into your ribs." "Straight into your heart." "You understand?" "Oh..." "Don't cry, beautiful." "Jesus." "What have I done?" "There." "What the hell?" "What is this place?" "It used to be a sanctuary for butterflies." "Monarchs." "My sister took me here once." "They still use it on their way to mexico." "Hey." "Look." "Oh..." "It's kyle."
