"[Jaime] Calm down, please." "Come on." "There..." "What the hell are you doing, Chris?" "Put the gun down." "Did you hear that?" "[metal clanging]" "Where the hell were you?" "Taking care of things." "What did you think, that we could just go to Los Pinos and hand her over?" "Have you seen this?" "IT WASN'T A FALL SHE SHOT HIM" "[Zyan] How many shots did you have?" "Not enough." "Hey, man." "You're of no use to me drunk." "[Zyan] Whole country is watching." "Come on, man." "So, we'll hand her over to the government so they can let her go free?" "[scoffs]" "We'll get paid." "Whether they kill her, free her, or throw her in jail to rot, it's all the same to us." "They don't know what they're doing." "Don't do this." "Listen, little girl!" "Girl!" "Listen to me!" "You don't know what you're doing." "The government won't pay you a fucking cent for me!" "They want me dead!" "Dead!" "Do you understand?" "Open the fucking door!"

"Why do you care so much about that woman?" "I don't care about her." "I care about Zyan." "She can take care of herself." "What if something happened to them?" "Let me give you some advice..."

"My mom is a murderer." "She killed my dad." "Do you really believe your mom would do something like that?" "Why hasn't she come for us?" "Because she's afraid." "You know what your mom's like." "Remember everything she taught you and your sister." "Remember that she always told you and Maria that you can't judge people without knowing their stories." "Emi." "Why don't we send your mom some thoughts of love and support?" "She'll receive them with joy if they come from you and Maria, the people she loves the most in the world." "Hmm?"

"During all that time, were you aware of any threats made against the president?" "Nothing that was out of the ordinary for a head of state." "How about for the president of Mexico?" "Nothing that constituted a threat." "On the days leading up to his death, did you notice changes in his behavior?" "No." "Thank you, sir."
