Samba--fast.
It's all about
carnival and color and celebration.
Rumba--slow.
Man, woman, the night, and romance.
Samba--hip shakin'.
Rumba--hip swingin'.
Samba--fancy footwork.
Rumba--steamy passion,

Stop.
You guys need a hobby.
This is our hobby.
How's about you actually learn dance
instead of just arguing about it?
Oh, you better believe
I know how to dance.
He can't dance.
I hate to admit it, but I actually
miss Isabel coming around.
Whew.
Not as much as I do.
You don't have to tell us why.
It's because of the sex.
Hey! Don't laugh together
against me.
I happen to very good
at the sex.
She's studying
for her law midterm.
Nobody call her for any reason.
Excuse me?
Are you the finder man?
Yeah, he is.
I like to ask a few questions
before admitting to who I am.
I'm Marta Abreu,
and this is my daughter, Adina.
Play the message, mama.
Marta,
if you're there, pick up.
Get out of the house,
go somewhere safe.
Remember that spot we stayed
that one time by highway 19?
Take Adina and you stay there until
you hear from me, all right?
Don't talk to nobody.
That's my papa.
You need to find him.
So what do
the police say?
The cops don't care 'cause
papa used to be in a gang.
Carlos quit the Matones.
He left that life behind for us.
Yeah.
And the police say
he went back to the gang.
That is not what happened.
Please, find my husband.
Please.
Can I ask them
how they found me?
My cousin works
for chef Alejandro
at the Bella Plata restaurant.
He said you found him in 2 days
after the police looked
for 3 years.
Your husband was talking to
somebody else before he hung up.
That one time
by highway 19?
Take Adina and you stay there until
you hear from me, all right?
Don't talk to nobody.
Thank you for meeting me, man.
We got to figure this out--
Sounds like he's in trouble
and maybe this person can help.
If your husband was in trouble,
who would he go to for help?
It's a pertinent question.
You should ask Uncle Raul.
Who's Uncle Raul?
And is he really your uncle?
No, he's my father's
best friend.
From the same gang?
Raul left the Matones
even before Carlos.
When Carlos got out of prison,
Raul got him a job
working at the boilers.
Working the boilers where?
Everglades Petro-Chemical.
Have you talked to Uncle Raul?
We did what Carlos said.
We left the house
and spoke to no one.
Well, except you came
here and talked to us.
Will you find my father?
No.
Walter!
But I will find the rest
of that conversation.
I don't understand.
We'll find your husband.
But Walter said he'd "find the
rest of the conversation.
"
Whatever that means.
Finding the conversation is the
first step in finding Carlos.
We'll do it.
Thank you.
This is a secure facility.
How did you get in?
We came in with them.
We want to talk to you about
your friend Carlos Abreu.
Why? What did Carlos do?
Well, it's interesting
that he said
"What did Carlos do?"
Instead of being worried that
something happened "to" Carlos.
Is that a ding-***?
I'm enjoying a delicious
confection.
Who's the politician?
Guy looks like he built himself
up from the ground floor.
The American way.
Got to love that.
C.
E.
O.
New broom sweeps clean.
What about Carlos?
Marta,
if you're there, pick up.
Get out of the house,
go somewhere safe.
Remember that spot we stayed
that one time by highway 19?
Take Adina and you stay there until
you hear from me, all right.
Don't talk to nobody.
Thank you for meeting me, man.
We got to figure this out--
New broom sweeps clean?
Sweeps clean what?
We're a petro-chemical
company, amigo,
right behind big tobacco and big
pharmaceutical on the most hated list.
Carlos' wife hoped you might
be able to tell us something.
Why? Because I used
to be a Matone?
Because he's
your best friend, right?
How come you weren't surprised when
we played that message from Carlos?
Maybe because I knew something
bad was going on with Carlos.
What kind of bad?
Skipping work.
Won't talk to nobody.
Este depre.
Well, it took a lot of guts
to hire another gang member.
Former gang member.
I put my *** on the
line for him, right?
If you were thinking about
getting back into gang activity,
who would you talk to?
First of all, the guys
that I used to run with,
they're either dead
or in prison.
If you think of anything,
or hear from Carlos,
call me, ok?
I want to see this
family back together.
You know, that's just rage you're
trying to swallow there, my friend.
Sometime a ding-***
is just a ding-***.
I'm not touching that one
with a 10-foot pole.
Ahem.
Identify yourself.
Genus--***,
species--sapiens.
Sex--male.
Race--Caucasian.
Adult.
Can I get a little ***
for that tat?
FBI special agent
Gail McHottie.
I think that's all
you really need to know.
What is this?
What are you doing?
It's called
"perspective inversion.
"
It helps me to reveal the
negative capability of the space.
Can I see your I.
D.
,
please?
Ahh.
A library card?
Perfect return record.
Can I see your I.
D.
, please?
McHottie? Agent McHottie?
Seriously?
Yeah, well, I got through
high school with that name,
the FBI is a snap.
Well, imagine what
it would have been like
for a homely girl.
Well, thank you.
Walter Sherman.
Yep.
What are you doing here?
I figure you're part
of a gang task force.
So Carlos Abreu must have been tied
up in some sort of gang activity.
I can't really comment
on an ongoing investigation
unless, of course,
you can help me.
Carlos' wife Marta engaged me
to find out who
he was speaking to
just before he disappeared
and what was said.
In that case, I will
enjoy exploiting you.
What's in it for me?
Mutual exploitation.
Full weight
of the most powerful
law enforcement agency
in the country.
Really?
So how do I get
in touch with you?
Excuse me.
Ask for Zazu.
How do I get a hold of you?
Call the FBI.
Oh, wait!
You know what?
On second thought,
you strike me as a
confidential informant.
I think I'm going to keep
you on the down low.
You seem to be a very good judge
of character, agent McHottie.
I'll call you.
Zazu?
It's intriguing, right?
Hmm.
Hello, Walter.
Did you find anything at the house?
An FBI agent named McHottie.
She's on a gang task force.
Bad news--Carlos Abreu is being
investigated by a gang task force.
Good news--
Carlos wrote down
where he was meeting whoever
it was he was meeting.
Did the FBI agent
tell you that?
No.
I found it
at the house.
Did you tell the FBI?
Nope.
Florida code chapter 843,
"crimes obstructing justice.
"
Leo, are you looking
at Ellie's present?
No.
This morning you're
eating a ding-***.
Now you're looking
at Ellie's present.
We shouldn't have taken
this case.
Where was Carlos' meeting?
"Meat u here.
"
Where?
That's what Carlos wrote down.
"Meat u here.
"
Ok, Walter, but where did
he want to meet?
Not meet meet.
Meat meat.
Like meat you eat.
I know the place.
Well, then I'll meet you there.
By which I mean meat u here.
Background sounds match
what we heard
on Marta Abreu's voicemail.
People, hissing espresso cart,
one-man-band.
Can't believe he'd throw this all
away to go back to gang, right?
Maybe he had
financial pressures.
They weren't rich,
but they were doing ok,
living within their means.
No bling.
Some people don't know how happy
they are until they mess it up.
First you start eating sugar,
then you gain weight.
Then you declare war on a gang
because you have
some kind of flashback
about the loss
of your own family.
And it all starts
with that candy apple.
Just--just hand it over,
end the pain now.
What are you?
My nutritionist?
I have concerns
about your state of mind.
Well, stop it.
Leo, Ellie's birthday
is coming up.
Ellie's been dead
almost 4 years, Walter.
Exactly.
So now this spunky
little girl shows up,
searching for her father.
That's not raising any issues for you?
No.
This is where Carlos was when he
left a voicemail for his wife.
So you're going to use my finding
compulsion to switch the subject?
I don't see how
you're going to find
a 3-day-old
conversation.
What?
Automated teller.
Security cameras in front
of all these stores.
And how about that?
How are we going to
access all these cameras?
By using the full force
of the most powerful
federal law enforcement
agency in the country.
This dress make me look fat?
How did people even live
in the olden days?
It's like restarting technology
after the apocalypse.
Is the footage
from the ATM on here too?
It's on this card.
How'd you get a warrant
for that so fast?
Agent McHottie is not exactly
the warrant getting type.
True.
I used charm,
by which I mean I flashed my
teeth, my badge, and my gun.
Have you ever talked
to a therapist
about your fixation on women
with badges and guns?
Here's what we have so far.
Footage from 11 security cameras
from around the mall.
Tapes from the fashion store.
They have footage from one cam
that focuses just on parrots.
You got all this for Walter?
Yes.
Why?
Walter has a reputation
of finding things.
He and I are
after the same thing--
Carlos Abreu.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Is Carlos a bad guy?
My opinion is Carlos's family
would be better off without him.
Excuse me.
What did I do?
Leo has kind of a thing for
keeping families together.
Where's agent McHottie?
I don't want
to have sex with her.
I thought I'd get to your real
question, save some time.
So I spurned
her sexy advances.
She left.
Hey, you're good
with faces, right?
What do you mean?
Well, you're a thief.
You can't pickpocket the same person twice.
I'm reformed now.
But, yes,
I don't
forget faces.
Why?
I want you to look through all that
footage and find Carlos Abreu.
Why?
Because if we don't put
that family back together,
Leo's going to eat himself
back into the past.
But why?
His daughter Ellie's
birthday is coming up.
She'd have been turning 16.
But she died
in an E.
Coli outbreak
that could have been prevented.
Corporate greed.
I meant--
Leo thought that maybe Ellie's
death was some kind of judgment
on his shady lawyering
mentality.
So he lost about 1,000 pounds.
And let's just say that he
became a whole different man.
A good man that we like.
Walter!
When I asked why
I meant what good
would it do us
to find Carlos Abreu
on the tape?
Ok, that's not what you asked.
Importance in clarity.
Walter
The FBI thinks that Carlos
has been smuggling chemicals
out of the plant
for the Matones.
You catch him talking
to a Matone,
we can confirm that.
I don't know.
That's a lot of footage.
And I'm really tired.
That is why they invented
caffeine and sugar.
It's particularly good
for young people
whose brains
haven't fully formed yet.
Ok.
What do you want in return?
Money? That's all?
No problem.
What? I'm good for it.
Remember--coffee, sugar.
It's good for you.
Where are you going?
Where do you think?
I don't know.
How should I know?
I'm doing fine.
You don't have
to worry about me.
I mean, I have my down
moments and missing you.
But, I'm basically ok.
Well, that is
a total pack of lies.
You know, he's taking to eating
loads of crap food again.
Walter's exaggerating, baby.
Cake, candy, ice cream,
cookies.
And plus, Mrs.
Leo, he had to
let out his belt one notch.
Don't tell her that.
Plus, he made me
take this case.
Sometimes I make
Walter take cases
because it's
the right thing to do.
Leo wants to repair
this broken family.
But now he's freaking out,
because the missing father
might actually be a bad guy.
That hasn't been proven yet.
The FBI thinks Carlos is working
for his old gang again.
A sweet little girl
like that, a kind woman,
why would they be
with a bad guy?
It makes no sense.
Are you talking about
the Abreus now or them?
The only reason
I don't smack you
is because I know you really
want to know the answer.
What's that thing you
told me about the future?
Buddha said,
"Do not dwell in the past.
"Do not dream of the future.
Concentrate the mind
on the present moment.
"
All right, well there you go.
The Buddha.
He's a pretty smart guy
and also, like you,
an over-eater.
I am concentrating my mind
on the present moment.
But all my mind wants to do
is to know the future.
If you don't mind,
I have a few private things
I'd like to say.
Can you guys do me a favor?
Can you tell him
to move forward,
to let go of the past,
to listen to the Buddha?
And especially you, Ellie,
you tell him that that
gift that he keeps for you
in his desk is an anchor
holding him to his grief.
And you tell him--
Walter.
Yeah.
This communication,
it's a one-way street.
I do the talking,
they do the listening.
And people call me
the crazy one?
I'll see you tomorrow, pal.
I appreciate your concern.
I miss you.
I miss both of you so much
I could die.
Good morning.
Aah! God!
Is it morning?
It can't be morning.
It is.
I can tell
by all the light.
What are you eating?
You never eat crap like that.
You're all granola
and lemon juice.
How much coffee have you had?
All of it.
I found Carlos Abreu,
and put all of him
on this laptop.
Check it out.
There he is.
Talking on his phone.
- Leaving the message for his wife.
- Now watch.
That's got to be
the guy he met.
I can't see his face.
Not from the fashion
store camera,
but from the other side
of the mall
That's Uncle Raul.
The other guy from the gang?
So, agent McSexy Butt was right,
and they're bad guys.
Agent McSexy Butt
was right about what?
Willa found our guy.
That's Raul Valerio
talking to Carlos.
I wish we had sound.
Don't be an idiot.
Hey! Leo's not
being an idiot.
We're looking
for a conversation.
A little audio
would be helpful.
No, that's what Raul is saying,
"Don't be an idiot.
"
Can you read lips?
Should have known.
Everyone learns how to
read lips in the joint.
You got to know what
the bulls are saying.
It so happens I read lips
because me and my mom
didn't have a TV.
I watched the neighbor's set
through my bedroom window.
And learned to read lips from
re-runs of "Married with Children.
"
What are they saying?
Leo wants Raul to say,
"Join the gang again,"
and Carlos
to reject him and say,
"No! I love my family.
"
Walter.
A man's got to be able to laugh
at his own foibles, Leo.
Some things
when you make light of them,
you just make them heavier.
What else did
the lips say, Willa?
Carlos says, "You have to help me.
"
Raul says, "Don't be an idiot.
"
Take the money.
Think about your
family, think about Adina.
"
Carlos says, "I think about
my family all the time.
It's all I think about, man.
"
So that's nice for you, right?
That's all I can make out.
Yeah, but that's not the
whole conversation.
I got to keep looking.
We'll pay a visit
to Raul Valerio.
You get some sleep.
You look like a vampire.
Vampires are hot.
What?
The world turns, man.
Vampires sparkle now.
You did great.
Leo's right.
This can wait,
grab some sack time.
McHottie says that Carlos and
Raul were stealing chemicals
from the plant for the gang.
Sounds like Raul was
forcing him to do it.
More like cajoling.
If Carlos didn't do
what the Matones wanted,
he's probably dead.
You hear that?
It's a car engine.
Cold as a stone.
He killed himself.
This wasn't suicide, Leo.
Well, he certainly is dead.
You guys might want
to make yourself scarce
before I call in the locals.
Why?
Well, they're going to want to
question you for, like, 12 hours.
They do like to question.
I'm just going to tell 'em
that I stumbled
upon Raul's suicide
during the course
of the investigation.
Walter said it wasn't suicide.
His hands are
on the steering wheel.
The second he passed out,
they would have
fallen in his lap.
They were placed there
after he died.
I am so taking credit
for that insight.
So why don't you guys
get while the getting's good.
And then I'll just call you
if forensics comes up
with anything.
I thought you were going
to get some sleep.
I got mixed signals on that.
Ok.
So there are some gaps,
and I'm not 100%
on the chronology,
because not every segment
is time coded,
but I think I've got something
starting to make sense here.
You're not going
to make her as crazy as you.
You enjoying that
snicker-doodle much?
"Take the money.
Think about your family.
Think about Adina.
"
"I think
about my family all the time.
It's all that
I think about, man.
"
"This all goes away
if you do the smart thing.
"
"The smart thing?
No matter what I do,
people get hurt.
"
"The smart thing is taking
care of your own first.
"
"Marta and Adina are both safe
as long as they can't
find me or the--"
The what?
Hold on.
Can we just
take a moment here?
That is some amazing thing
she just did, right?
Yeah.
Or the what?
Tell her!
That's amazing, Willa,
except for the part where
we don't know the key point
of the whole mystery.
It's not my fault they turned
away from every camera.
Wait, wait, wait.
Rewind that.
Right there.
What is that?
What?
The hipster chick
filming the one-man-band.
Her camera
is pointed right at them.
You want to find the random human
being filming the one-man-band?
What if she's a tourist and
already went home to Quebec?
What French Canadian tourist is
going to film a one-man-band
for more than a minute?
Girlfriend?
I don't think one-man-bands
get to have girlfriends.
She's got one of those things around
her neck that directors wear.
If we find that camera, we find
the rest of the conversation.
You're coming with us, Willa.
Why?
'Cause people are dying.
That's awesome.
I didn't mean the dying part.
Yes!
Leo, that's
That's not real.
The world is more mysterious
than people think, Willa.
Are you all right?
I wouldn't mind knowing the
future, just a little bit.
You mean
past Ellie's birthday?
I know a guy that can
see the future for real.
For real real or gypsy real?
He's a Chovihani.
He has the gift.
You're having a tough time.
Let me help you.
I owe you.
All right.
Hipster chick is
a student filmmaker
doing a documentary
on street performers.
She gave me the tape.
So you're the infamous Timo.
And you're Leo.
Pleased to meet you.
I doubt that.
Don't doubt it.
We both care about Willa.
Willa says you're
going to take me
to some brilliant
tarot card reader.
Not take you.
I am the Chovihani.
I'll read your cards.
I'm not sure I trust you.
I have better things to do.
Look, Willa made me.
I'm not even taking
any money from you.
I understand
if you want to cancel.
'Cause after this reading,
I'll know things about you
maybe you don't
want me to know.
Kid, when it comes
to knowing people,
there is no such thing
as a one-way street.
The tower
Represents a past
to which you must not return.
Or what?
Death.
Maybe, maybe not.
But it is a warning.
You are being tested.
We all are being tested
all the time.
Life is a test.
You have *** in your heart.
That's a fact.
I've been carrying it
there for many years.
What do you need to know?
I need to know if
Can I keep this ***
in my heart,
or will it get out where
it can do some real harm?
Last card.
Your future.
Let me ask you
a question, Timo,
about what's in your own heart.
I told you there is no such
thing as a one way street.
Go.
Ask.
Do you have Willa's
best interests at heart?
Yes.
Do you?
Yes.
You're just her boss.
I'm her benefactor.
And I'm her family.
Which is why if Willa wants me to
do something for you, I'll do it.
That's what family does.
What else do you see?
You worry about your daughter.
You worry that you waited
until after she died
to become
better.
Your heart aches that she
didn't see the man you became,
the man you are now.
She knew only
the man you used to be.
I'll onto this for another day.
But I think we're done for now.
You don't have to ask me twice.
The only reason
you're still alive is the list.
That's why
they'll never find it.
Where is it?
Hidden in the company's
own hellish heart,
where they'll never
think to look.
I don't understand.
I was wrong.
The Matones weren't
leaning on your husband
to steal chemicals.
Everglades Petro-Chemical
was leaning on your husband
to keep his mouth shut.
So, what, he's like
a stool pigeon?
Shut up!
You shut up!
Adina!
Why does everybody want
to make my papa bad?
Not bad.
Good.
I think
he's a whistle-blower,
completely different
than a stool pigeon.
What? It's exactly
the same thing!
Adina, apologize!
No.
She called
my father a snitch.
I'm sorry.
She's just very upset.
No, it's all right.
Willa needs a good slap every once in a while
and it's against the law
for me to do it.
How will this help you
find my husband?
I didn't sign on
to find your husband.
I signed on to find
the conversation.
I'm done.
What could Carlos have known that
would threaten these people?
He keeps the boiler working.
He's just a worker.
Walter, are you serious?
We're done?
The big man said
you'd find my father.
Leo promised you that?
Yes!
Are you guys ok?
Yeah.
How is it good news that their motel room
got blown up?
It wasn't a really nice room.
Now they can stay at one of
your excellent trailers.
I'm serious, Walter.
It's a warning, Leo.
The company wants to show
Carlos they mean business.
You think Carlos
is still alive?
Yep.
And so does
the company.
That's what you want, right?
Carlos back together
with his family?
What do you care?
You found the conversation.
You're done.
Yes, I am.
Except now I'm going
to go get back
whatever Carlos
hid from the company.
Hid where?
Carlos told us himself--
in the company's
"own hellish heart.
"
Once you have whatever it is,
you can use that as leverage
to get the Abreu family
back together.
That's what you promised
that little girl.
You want to keep
that promise, right?
Why do you keep asking me
what I want?
'Cause you're a man
who keeps his promises.
I'd like to help you do that.
Just, uh, consider it
a birthday present.
It's not my birthday.
It's Ellie's birthday.
Thank you, Walter.
Buddy, you spend all your
time lifeguarding me
'cause I'm nuts.
The least I can do is return the favor
when you're Dr.
Demento.
You need help?
When the falcon hunts,
does he need help?
I don't know
how to answer to that.
Well, he's a falcon.
He doesn't need help.
Shouldn't you at least call
agent McHottie for back up?
Nah, I'm about
to break the law, Leo.
FBI agents get all huffy
on the subject.
Falcon
That'll ruin your hairdo.
It worked.
Well, hi!
Well, look at you.
You know, I'm not going
to come through here
if you're going to arrest me.
You're safe.
Trespassing is not
part of my jurisdiction.
Well, in that case
Is that red?
No.
Well, then you will
be interested to know
Whew!
That none of this has
anything to do with gangs.
And you're not
an FBI agent.
Man!
What?
This is embarrassing.
Usually, I'm a couple of steps
ahead in things like this.
I guess--well, I guess Finder Jr.
was doing the thinking on this one.
Wow
How'd you know, Walter?
It's the earrings.
No FBI agent's going
to wear beautiful,
sexy, dangly earrings
like that.
For your information, I wore
these exact same earrings
when I actually was an agent.
Something tells me that's
not why you got fired.
This is going to go
one of two ways.
You're going to give me that
list, and I'll let you go.
You don't, I'll shoot you
for breaking into
a highly restricted area.
You're working for
Everglades Petro-Chemical.
Give it to me, Walter.
Eh
Honestly, I'm just as
happy shooting you.
That's why I got
canned by the F.
B.
I.
There's a surprise.
For God sake
Ah! Oh!
Wow.
Timing is everything.
It's been real.
Walter, are you sure McHottie
was alive when you left her?
Yeah.
She may need a pacemaker
for the rest of her life.
You sure you don't
want me to go with you?
I do this part better alone.
Are you taking a gun?
Walter, I'm fine.
You did what you do.
Now I'll do what I do.
And Carlos Abreu can go
home to be with his family.
That's what we all want, right?
It sure as hell
is what you want.
According to Timo,
this is my future.
Justice?
This does not
reassure me in any way.
Every time Batman goes
looking for justice,
he kills hundreds of people.
We'll have to meet
with them next week.
To discuss the details.
Mr.
Anderson,
my name is Leo Knox.
I represent Carlos Abreu.
Give us a few minutes.
What can I do
for you, Mr.
Knox?
I have in my possession
a document
listing a number
of toxic chemicals
which were burned
in one of your incinerators.
I refer all nuisance suits
to our general counsel.
My client brought this list
to your attention.
You tried and failed
to bribe him.
When Raul Valerio
failed as your intermediary,
you had him killed.
Well, let's break this
down, shall we, Mr.
Knox?
First, I didn't have anybody
bribed, killed, or blown up.
If indeed that did happen,
that was due to the action of a
mentally unhinged security chief.
So shall we cut directly
to why it is you are here?
Are you offering me
monetary compensation?
How much? I'm busy man.
It's going to total
about a $100 million.
You're delusional.
You are going
to announce tonight
the inadvertent incineration
of those toxic chemicals.
Then you're going to announce a series
of donations to these charities.
You're going to be
an angel, sir, a hero.
You're going to do
the right thing.
And what if I don't accept?
I know how you came to make
the poor choices you made.
Hmm.
Do you?
Really, Mr.
Knox?
Somewhere you have
an internal report
that says losses
are acceptable.
You were wrong to believe that.
So was the man
who threw away the life
of my wife and my daughter.
And what happens if I
don't do what you ask?
That list will become the basis
of a class action lawsuit
which will
bankrupt your company.
Of, if the cards had turned
up a little bit different,
I just might have to kill you.
Ah!
That's for offering me money.
Is this for me?
Yes.
Something special for
when you see your father.
If that's all right.
Why?
Because today would have been
my daughter Ellie's birthday.
What happened to her?
She was taken
away from me too soon.
But it makes me feel good
to give another little girl
a present on Ellie's birthday.
Why don't you give it to her?
Adina!
I'm sorry.
Because I got it
for a girl your age.
It's very pretty.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Papa!

Petro-Chemical announces
all these environmental
initiatives,
publicly thanks Carlos Abreu
Sometimes people
do the right thing.
You scared that guy, right?
Like "angel of death"
scared him?
I'm not always proud
of my behavior.
Yeah, well,
you didn't kill him.
You should be proud of that.
Happy Birthday to Ellie.
Happy Birthday, baby.
