Unh!
Come on!
Ohh!
You know the best thing
about the life we lead is?
No.
But I got a feeling
you're about to tell me.
Money, of course.
The worst?
Well, the price
we all have to pay.
To sacrifice our loved ones.
And for what?
Richie ain't nothing,
And richie ain't been nothing
for a real long time.
I hear he can't even throw
a knife no more
Without cutting himself up.
Must be a mess
when he jerks off.
A life filled with exotic
pleasures is nothing
Without peace of mind.
You can have both, seth,
at el rey.
What is el rey?
Taco stand in baja?
It is south of your border
On a mountain
Mm.
Near the ocean.
Sounds like paradise.
I don't believe in paradise.
For people like
you and richard,
Heaven is not having
to look over your shoulder.
El rey offers a safety
Anonymity, and protection.
Protection?
Yeah.
And this protection is free?
It was real nice meeting you,
carlito.
Unh!
One of these days,
That retard brother of yours
is gonna get you killed.
Peace of mind
Is something
your brother needs.
He has not been well, has he?
Okay, what do you want from me
exactly?
The world never gave you
anything.
All the world ever did
was take.
So what do you do
in return?
Take it back.
That's right.
We take it back.
But this time,
we take it back, seth,
And keep it
For eternity.
I'm gonna go get us a room.
Be right back.
Hmm.
Ugh!
Aah!
Please!
No, no, no!
I'm in the middle of something,
guero.
This is the last time
I'm gonna call you.
You want to know why?
'cause you're gonna tell me
where you set up
That border crossing.
You sound upset.
Things not going as planned?
No, carlito, they are not.
We got half the state of texas
looking for us,
And I can't cross the border
With a ticking time bomb
sitting next to me.
What's the matter with richard?
Look, you got a guy
on the border or not?
He's at the acuña crossing.
He'll give you passage tonight.
Wait, tonight?
When?
Night is better.
Look, I got something I got
to take care of before we cross.
Now you just tell me that
you're not gonna bail on me.
Because if you bail on me,
I'm gonna bail
on your mexican ***.
You understand that?
Seth.
What?
I'm not mexican.
Richie.
*** state's
bigger than hell.
we cross, and miss
monica.
Miss monica here goes back
to her life.
Until then, you are
an insurance policy, my dear.
Do you understand?
Good.
You didn't even try
and talk him down?
Richard,
it's 30% to get into el rey.
Eternity and bliss
Drenched in the nectar
of the noble blue agave.
Sounds like
a freaking buñuel movie.
The hell is this?
That is
a budd boetticher picture.
And it's all you're gonna get.
All right, I need thing one
and thing two
In case I get into a scrape.
You're not going out there.
That's crazy.
Got to ditch and switch,
and we got to eat.
I can't do anything with
quick draw'sShriveled member.
You're not gonna need anything
Because miss monica here is the
best damn teller in the west.
She knows all about
customer service.
Now, what is the, uh
First rule of customer service,
monica?
The customer is always right.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Now, you see
Me and richie here, we are
your most loyal customers.
And we only want one thing
for you to sit there
And not move.
Got it?
You got it, richie?
Just get me a burger already.
And some, uh,
sweet-potato fries.
What a day!
Boy, do I feel great!
I think I'll go to the mall.
You stay put.
Sure, that's a fact!
This is a bad idea, daddy.
Scott barely has his learner's.
Scott, keep your eyes
on the road.
Katey, why don't you sit back?
Use that fancy phone of yours
To find us the best place
to cross the border.
I've been thinking a lot
about what you said
Back there with kyle.
It's just that we didn't know
That you left the congregation
for good or
That you stopped believing
in god.
I never said that.
Losing your mother's been tough
on all of us.
I just feel like we need
to spend some time together
As a family
To do some searching.
That's all.
Maybe find a new path
or a new driver.
Watch it!
This is a bad idea.
Maybe if she'd shut her hole,
I could focus.
Son, a hole is a pit
in the ground.
Don't talk to your sister
that way
Or anyone for that matter.
Daddy, all you've told us
our entire lives
Is to trust in god.
I know.
But right now,
I need you to trust
In the pagan power
of technology
And please look up
that border crossing.
You don't give up on god.
You don't give up on him
Because he would never ever
give up on you.
Kate, I spent my entire
adult life serving the lord.
I know exactly
what he's capable of.
T-that
that wasn't me.
Oh, this sucks.
Right when I started driving.
What are you doing?
I'm looking for the toolbox.
It's not in here.
It's not anywhere.
I never bought one.
Maybe they got something.
All right.
You stay in the r.
V.
Go on.
Get inside!
Get you something, darlin'?
Excuse me, folks!
My vehicle decided to quit
on me.
I'm no expert, but it appears
to be some sort of busted hose.
Aloha.
Welcome to
the big kahuna burger.
Would you like to try
our special agent utah meal?
yeah
Sir?
americano
americano
How come we never did this
when we were married?
americano
That's a fact!
Come on over and sit.
ThisCouch is nice.
You're not safe there.
Thanks for coming out,
professor.
No problem.
Austin says you've been doing
Some great things
with this cartel-killer case.
Think I might've found them.
Really?
Yeah.
It's part of the bank-robbery
crew gecko brothers.
Like the james gang.
There's only two of them.
I wouldn't exactly call that
a gang.
Great, so we got that settled.
I've been tracking these guys.
Been finding symbols that might
have something to do
With these crazy little gods
these cartels like to worship.
Crazy little gods?
Okay.
Before we go any further,
We're gonna have to set up some
ground rules, okay, sheriff?
I'm not a sheriff.
Yeah,
and I don't spend my days
Looking at pictures of people
with bones through their noses.
These "crazy little gods"
Are my life's work.
If I said something insensitive,
I apologize.
What I meant to say was,
I'm trailing two murderous
thieves that killed eight men
Including my mentor.
So, what makes you so certain
they're connected to the cartel?
A symbol that shows up
at every ***.
I found it again today.
Something wrong, professor?
Excuse me, folks!
My vehicle just quit on me.
I'm no expert, but it appears
to be some sort of busted hose.
Perhaps someone here
could help me arrange
Some sort of jury-rig
to keep going
Let him call aaa.
At least long enough for me
To get it to the nearest
service station.
Where'd you find this?
Off my partner's dead body.
They used it on him.
Think he found it at the scene.
I guess you're the chosen one.
This is an ancient weapon used
in ritual sacrifice.
It's been written about.
Never seen.
This should not exist.
So, how is that supposed
to help me find these boys?
Well, it lets you know
who you're dealing with.
This cartel clearly worships
the vision serpent.
They're
the waxaklahun ubah kan,
Or, in common español,
los culebras.
Serpents.
Yeah.
So, what does that have to do
with the eye?
Well,
the eye-in-hand motif
Appears in codices
going back 3,000 years.
Represents
the two most important gifts
A god can bequeath on a man
The ability to see
and the ability to take action.
You can guess [sighs] what kind
of action this was used for.
Are you okay?
You know, I'm not just
some dipshit triggerman
Who screams at bank tellers
to open their drawers.
I am a scientist,
a master tactician.
I am a lock artist.
Oh, I-I know.
I know that.
And this is what I do.
When something doesn't
make sense, this is what I do.
I figure it out.
You know, my my son, he,
um he does the same thing.
I-I have two kids.
They're 17 and and 7.
My boy, rafa, I call him
my little aubelito 'cause
He's such an old soul.
He complains about the weather.
I mean, w-what kid complains
about the weather?
He likes to draw, too.
C-can I see?
You you have a gift.
I didn't think you'd show up.
Yeah, we, uh
we got a little waylaid.
We shouldn't be sitting here,
okay?
You're all over the news.
Are you gonna order something?
Yeah, I-in a second.
Now, vanessa, I
Where's richie
in the car?
No, we're, uh we're laying
low in a motel nearby.
Okay, now just
just listen to me, honey.
Um
Plan's changed.
Changed?
Yeah.
Plans don't change.
Isn't that what you always say?
No matter what,
you stick to the plan.
We meet here, we cross together.
That's how we designed it.
Yes, um
But what I failed to mention
Is that sometimes
plans get better.
What's better than you and me
on a beach in cancún?
You being alive for one.
What's that?
That's how the plan
gets better.
All right, now, that's over
$4 million in bearer bonds.
All right,
now, you're gonna take this
To warren pritchard
at k.
C.
Financial.
He's gonna convert it for you,
Then he's gonna wash the money
all nice and clean.
Honey, after that,
you're gonna be set.
You understand?
You're not gonna need a thing.
For me?
Yes.
All of it?
Every cent.
He's not even gonna charge you
a fee.
I'm gonna take care of that.
Don't worry about it.
Babe, t-that's
Right?
It feels like vegas in here.
And I can hear
the bells dinging.
I feel like one
of those obese ladies
Sliding quarters
into a big old plastic cup.
Just me and my fat ***,
you know, swallowing up a chair.
Well
wow.
You remember
our honeymoon?
Yeah, yeah.
That that time I won at
keno at keno in the bellagio?
You remember that?
Yes, yes.
It was 4:00 in the morning.
I'll never forget it
Because this, uh this call
girl took the table next to us.
Oh, yeah.
She had just come down
Uh-huh.
From doing her business
upstairs, and she ordered
I'll never forget this
She ordered a short stack of
buttermilks and a black coffee.
Yeah.
You remember what you said?
No, no, I don't.
What did I say?
You said, "I guess
that's what the *** eat.
"
I thought to myself
"how must that feel?
"how must it feel for her
to walk into that cafeteria
"and know
that everyone there knows
"that she sleeps with people
for money?
"how must it feel
when everyone in the room
Knows that
you're a ***.
"
I guess I know now.
Vanessa, I swear
I am a ***,
and I am not your ***.
You know what I am, seth?
I'm your partner,
and you know what partners do?
They make plans,
and they honor those plans,
And they stick to them.
Okay, honey, I know that.
That's not
Did you forget that I cased
that bank for three weeks?
Yeah.
That I knew
every teller's schedule
Upside down, inside out?
That I knew that
they would be stocking that atm
When you pushed your way in?
It is not my fault
that you and your brother
Are the most wanted fugitives
in the world right now.
That is on you.
Okay, but that is exactly why
That we need to cross alone
right now.
Do you understand that?
I baked you a carrot cake
Every year with
real cream-cheese frosting.
What?
I lit candles, blew them out.
Honey, I know.
I know you did.
Five times, five years.
You think all that time
I was waiting for some money?
I was waiting for you.
Because I love you.
You ready?
You okay?
Bet you don't use patrón
on your kids' scrapes.
Neosporin.
The patrón's for me.
She wants to be free.
She wants you.
Go sit down.
Do it now!
Richie.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be nervous, baby.
It's just us.
It's just you
And your little gordita.
You really want me?
That is why you said that,
isn't it?
I didn't say anything.
Set me free, richard.
Set me free.
Richie.
Who are you?
Who are you really?
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Please,
I don't know what you want!
You're playing some kind of game
with me.
You think that I can't hear your
voice inside me head, gordita?!
What did you call me?
No, no!
See that?!
Games, games, games.
You think that you can
seduce me, but you can't.
I didn't say anything!
That's how I like it.
She wants to be free.
She wants you.
Why do you got to be
such a byotch?
I don't know.
Because he's going against
Everything he's ever believed
his entire life?
And why do you keep asking dad
about the accident?
What do you care?
Sometimes you sound like
you think it's his fault.
I never said that, scott.
Scott
Okay, I'm sorry.
I don't know how to do this.
Do what?
Dad is losing it.
He's not in a good place
right now.
But we never had to worry about
that kind of stuff
Because mom always knew
how to take care of him and us.
I can't take her place.
I don't know how to be mom.
Then don't try to be.
If my kids could see me now
They don't think
I'm that handy.
Yeah, I'll bet the wife
don't, either.
She not in the picture?
She passed.
Oh, sorry.
See, there I go prying again.
My shelby, she'd tell me
I'm chatting up
a complete stranger
When I should be minding
my own business.
Well, the shape this puppy's in,
I think, uh
It's probably best
you don't share with your kids
Precisely how many ways
from Sunday you are screwed.
Yeah, I'd say this, uh,
little adventure you're on
Might be cut a whole hell
of a lot shorter than you think.
Aah! Aah!
God damn it.
God damn it!
God damn it!
What is going on out here?!
We're just trying to knock
something back into place.
It's all right.
Hey, man, this puppy's got to,
uh, cool off for a little while.
Why don't we head back
inside, man?
We'll cool off ourselves, huh?
Thank you.
You and shelby have any kids?
Well
We're working on it.
I don't know if I'm ready
to be honest.
Hang on to her.
It's a team sport.
Baby, you need
to understand something.
You walk out
You're walking out on us.
We pulled a job
We pulled a job that net
$30 mil.
You know what we could do
with that money?
We could go get that bar that
you always wanted in the keys.
That was stupid.
That place
never would've worked.
Like hell it wouldn't.
It's still there, you know.
I checked.
You checked?
Mm-hmm.
All they want's
$1.
5 million.
Baby, we could take this money
And go down and *** it up.
I can't do that to him.
He's my brother.
Do what?
He's my brother.
Give him $26 million?
All right, listen to me.
Okay?
There's a there's a reason
that richie was always so good
At figuring out jobs and stuff
for us, okay?
Nobody could touch us.
He's an egghead.
Yes, he's an egghead,
But that's not
what I'm talking about.
All right,
it's because of the old man.
He used to make richie think,
You know, keep him on his toes.
At first, it started out
when we were really young,
You know, stupid stuff,
just, like,
Richie sneaking us past him
while he was asleep
So we could watch cartoons,
you know, stuff like that.
Then the old man
would get hammered,
Knock us around a little bit.
Me especially.
I don't know what it is,
but, uh, you know
Son of a *** had it out
for me.
I guess I drove him crazy.
That part I get.
You see me laughing here?
Richie spent a lot of time
as a kid
Figuring out how to keep
this guy off of me.
And he was real good at it.
Till one day
he didn't have to anymore.
The old man fell asleep
on the couch
With a frigging lit cigarette
in his hand.
Fire burned down
the whole house, you know?
I was asleep in my room.
Smoke got to me.
I was out.
Richie came in.
He pulled me out, okay?
I mean, why do you think
I got this stupid thing?
You told me you got drunk
in new orleans.
Well, I did get drunk
in new orleans, but
Richie told me never
to talk about it, so
Richie saved your life.
Now you need to save his.
What if he can't be saved?
I just got to get him to el rey,
and he's gonna be fine.
My neighbor patty, right
Yeah.
She's an r.
N.
In a mental
hospital over in devore.
Well, I had her over for dinner
one night
When I could finally get richie
out of his shack in the woods.
She gave him a once-over.
She called it disassociative
something or another.
She thinks he hears voices.
Let me get this straight.
You had him head-shrunk?
Okay.
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna get up now, get myself
and my brother a burger.
You have a nice life.
Seth
He's not crazy.
She was transformed
by the serpent god.
Who was?
The mistress.
Look, if one or both
of these brothers
Is out there killing
for these people,
You got to stop thinking
like a ranger
And start thinking like
one of your own.
One of my own?
Not racially profiling here,
ranger gonzalez.
These are your roots,
are they not?
I'm from san anton'.
Oh, so you know about
the blood cult
The one that asks its faithful
To eat the body and drink
the blood of its savior.
Oh, I got my wires
crossed there.
What's your point?
Are you a man of faith?
Gonna baptize my daughter,
same as I was.
This is not just a cartel.
This is a blood cult.
And the patron saint,
To put it in terms
you can understand
She's a very,
very powerful demigoddess.
Okay.
So, who is she?
Well, nobody knows
her real name.
Just that she was so beautiful,
The serpent god
had to have her.
He sent his faithful out
to collect her
And bring her back to
sacred ground and sacrifice her.
They threw her
into a pit of snakes.
She was consumed
and transformed
And became a mistress
of the night,
A harbinger of the next realm.
Okay.
So, what does that
even mean?
It means
the killer who uses this
He isn't looking for blood.
But trying to see something.
Trying to see something
that people like you and me
Can't see.
Look and you will see me now.
Set me free.
Come to me.
Richie.
He's trying to see
the other side.
Just tell me.
Just tell me, how do you know?
How did you know my name?!
Gordita.
Only my husband calls me that.
He calls me that during sex!
How could you possibly
know that?!
How did you know?!
You're back.
How's that king kamehameha?
Is that the one
with the pineapple in it?
It most certainly is.
I may be biased,
but I think it's delicious.
Let me get one of those
And two native-style mahalos
with sweet-potato fries, please.
Just the sandwich
or the tidal wave meal?
Tidal wave it.
Oh, uh, you don't, um
do you have any horchata?
Yes, we do.
It has a little hint
of macadamia nut.
Sounds delicious.
Give me two.
What the ***?!
Jesus, what are you doing?!
Maybe if I start acting
like a crazy loon,
You'll finally give a ***!
Give me that! Stupid!
It was never gonna be
you and me! It was
always you and richie!
Honey, that's not what
Don't even try
to sweet-talk me.
You love your brother so much,
why don't you go screw him?
Look, I'm all he's got,
all right?!
Now, why can't you
understand that?!
I'm all he's got!
Look, just
just go see pritchard.
Get your $4 million, okay?
JustGo.
We could've been good together!
We were together.
It wasn't good.
I'm not afraid of you!
Stop, please.
Please,
we were just role-playing.
What are you talking about?
My husband and I,
we've been having problems.
We went to see a counselor,
And
she suggested role-playing.
Then we went to a hotel
just just like this one.
He'd be the cop, and
I'd be
the high-price call girl.
It cost me
a fortune at frederick's.
It was just something he wanted
to do 'cause it reminded him
Of some burt reynolds movie
that he loves.
I didn't know any of that.
Yes, but you did!
No, it's just noise, okay?!
I hear things inside my head,
and sometimes she talks to me!
Who?!
I don't know!
But if I listen and if I focus,
she can show me things.
I saw you on the bed, okay?
I guess I guess
you were telling your husband
To call you "gordita.
"
gordita.
It means chubby, little girl.
Leandro
he calls me that
'cause he's
he's always loved my curves.
It was "sharkey's machine.
"
What?
The movie
that your husband likes
Is called
"sharkey's machine.
"
He was burt.
You were rachel ward.
I don't know how you did it,
but it's like you saw me.
It's like
it's like you saw the real me.
I see too much.
Daddy?
Katey-kakes?
We were letting the engine
cool down.
I can help.
Come on.
Oh, this
this is my little girl.
She's always looking for
the family toolbox
How you doing?
Trying to find ways to fix
her old man.
Go on.
I'll catch up.
Well.
Aren't you a little young
to be hanging out in here?
You're a little pistol,
aren't you?
Now, I mapped out
Where all the killings happened
along the border.
Maybe they'll show us
Huh?
Where's the knife?
What?
Did you take it?
What?
The knife.
Yeah, you, uh
you wanted me to take it.
You wanted me to put it
in my bag
And take it to the university
for some laboratory tests.
I didn't ask you to do that.
Yeah, you did.
No, I didn't.
Okay.
You're gonna tell me
it belongs in a museum?
Belongs to the lords
of the night.
Is that some other gang
I don't know about?
The nine mayan lords
of the night.
They occupy the first realm.
One of them
Threw the girl
into the pit of snakes.
If I find those ***,
I'll arrest them, too.
Baby, not for nothing,
but you best get out of here.
Something is coming.
Night is coming.
Doesn't that come every day?
Today is different.
She wants to be free.
She wants you.
It's time.
Looks like a pattern to me.
It's a safe zone.
That's sacred ground.
That's precisely in the middle
of the cult's ancient lands.
In the middle of that,
the border crossing.
I gotcha.
Hi.
My name's lila,
And I just started working
over here
At bethel fidelity insurance
office.
We, uh we had a little bit
of a computer crash over here.
We got the hearing coming up
on the fuller accident.
ThatShould do it.
All right.
See you around.
You have the report
on file, right?
Well, if you could send that
over, that would be just great.
Dad, stop!
Dad, what the hell?!
You all right?
Oh, my god! Kate!
Katey, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
Think I'm gonna drive.
Thanks for your help, professor.
I got to get going.
I know you're in a hurry.
But I just realized something.
You said the bank robbers
are brothers, right?
That's right.
You know the one about
the brothers, don't you?
Summoned to the underworld,
the place of fear.
It's in the popol vuh.
The mayan bible.
The brothers journey to the
underworld to trick the gods.
Trick them how?
They beat them
at their own game.
Richard, it has been
a long, hard road.
But our debts are paid.
And we are finally on our way.
Where's the girl?
What the hell is she doing
in here?
What is wrong with you?
I worked it out.
I can see now.
I can see.
Can you?
And what is this?
Because
This doesn't look like
anything that
That I've ever seen, richard.
Don't "richard" me.
I'm gonna do a lot worse
if you don't stop right now!
This is not who we are.
This is not who you are.
Say it!
This isn't me.
Say it again.
Say it!
It is me.
Do you realize what I have
been through to get here?
Huh?
Do you?
It's okay.
This is all gonna be a memory
when we get to el rey.
It's gonna be blue agave
Sunshine, and beaches.
Just you and me, buddy.
It's you and me.
