In the Blood Page #3

---

Yes.

WOMAN:
She call hospital

for your husband.

Okay?

FATHER:

Quit moving.

Think you need

my help, babe?

Think you need

anybody's help?

( CHUCKLES )

You don't.

Only person you can rely on

is your own self.

Ah, this'll heal up.

Survivors have scars.

Losers have funerals.

Scars is what you want.

They're like tattoos,

but with better stories, huh?

Ava, you are made

of the toughest stuff around.

Don't you forget that,

all right?

( PLANE ENGINE HUMMING )

And who called

for the ambulance?

I'm not sure.

I think that his name was JoJo.

That's what Manny called him.

This Manny,

he took you to the zip line?

Yeah.

He's on the left.

- Last name?

- I don't know.

Where'd you meet him?

At some restaurant on the beach.

OFFICER:

Some restaurant on the beach.

Why didn't you ride in

the ambulance with your husband?

They wouldn't let me.

They wouldn't let you?

I think they said it was because

of some insurance problem,

but I tried.

Did they say

where they were taking him?

I already told you this,

Centro Mdico, Punta Cana.

Punta Cana?

Punta Cana. Okay.

( DOOR OPENS )

Excuse me.

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

Gracias.

There's no record showing

of your husband

being admitted into any clinic

or hospital on the island.

Maybe he decided to not go.

Okay, not 9Q?

He was unconscious and his leg

was completely sideways.

How the hell is he

not going to go?

There's no activity

on his credit card,

no outgoing calls on his phone,

so it's either dead

or his battery's been taken out

so it can't be tracked.

Maybe the ambulance had an accident

on the way to the hospital.

Maybe it fell into a ditch

and nobody was able

to contact us or call, okay?

I don't know,

but we need to be out of here,

out there, looking for him.

Maybe we're not getting all

the information that we need.

What does that mean?

Was anyone drinking?

You know

there wasn't any drinking.

I have a right to ask.

You already know

the answer to that.

Well, there are many ambulance

companies on this island.

They're unregulated,

so it's highly competitive.

First one on the scene

gets paid.

It's a wonderful island,

but with opportunistic

and dubious parties,

everybody's trying to make

a better standing for themself,

especially when it comes

at the expense

of wealthy Americans.

Then again, I could be wrong.

If he was kidnapped,

we should know something soon.

I would say within the next...

- 24 hours.

- Oh, my God.

So what's our next step?

(YELLING, LAUGHING )

MAN:

Well, we were closed yesterday.

Actually, we're always

closed on Monday.

- So there was no one here.

- AVA:
No, no, I was here.

I was here with my husband,

Manny, and JoJo.

No. No, sorry. We don't have

any Manny or JoJo working here.

Well, Manny doesn't work here.

He said he was friends with the owner.

I actually am the owner.

Okay, the name of the zip line

is called El Viudador.

Nah, nah, nah. We don't call

any of our lines El Viudador.

- Are you sure it was here, 'cause--

- Yes, it was here.

Well, we have

a perfect safety record,

and there are, like, four other

line operations on the island

which they don't run that way.

Look, it was here.

I remember the road in.

I remember the fire station.

I remember all of this.

There's another zip line

about 30 minutes from here

with the same kind of road,

and it looks exactly the same.

Hey, wait.

- JoJo, right?

- Uh...

You were here yesterday

when my husband fell

from the zip line, right?

This is JoJo.

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

He said he doesn't

know who you are.

Why are you lying?

You called the ambulance.

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

- Why are you lying?

- Okay, okay, okay. Hey, hey.

- We were here yesterday.

- ( SPANISH CONTINUES)

Admit that you were here.

Admit that you were here.

Okay. Okay.

Let me handle this, okay?

Let me handle this.

Okay, so maybe he thinks

he's getting in trouble.

Maybe you think

you're getting in trouble,

he got paid off.

I don't know.

Listen, you don't understand.

It wasn't here, okay?

- You are scaring my clients.

- It was here.

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

Okay, okay, look.

- Let's go back to my office.

- No!

Let's talk about

the next step here, okay?

- Get him back!

- No, no. We gotta go.

- ( SPEAKING SPANISH )

- Let's go. We need to go.

- Please, please, please.

- Listen. Listen to me.

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

AVA:
That was him.

That was JoJo.

Fine. Yes, we'll go back,

and we'll talk about it at the office.

Everything okay.

Everything is safe.

You're going to enjoy--

enjoy yourself so far?

Have a seat.

Let's talk about Sunday night.

I got an e-mail sent to me

of video footage

from Club la Sola.

And apparently you have

a really violent side to you.

You on drugs?

Because you

nearly killed this guy.

I was defending myself.

Why didn't you

say anything about that?

'Cause I didn't see

how this has got anything

to do with

Derek's disappearance.

You sure about that?

Gracias.

So you got into a tangle

with a guy named Big Biz.

You know,

he makes people disappear.

Then why aren't you

interviewing him?

We will.

So how were you

and your husband getting along?

We're great.

I understand you're the main

beneficiary of all his assets.

I'm his wife.

What are these?

Sketches.

Why aren't they

being distributed?

Because they look

like half the men on the island

and I have to appropriately

allocate my resources.

Yeah, what exactly are you doing

with your resources?

Right now, talking to you.

If you're not going to look

for my husband, I will.

- Let's go.

- What happened?

( SPEAKING SPANISH )

Have you seen him?

No.

- No.

- No.

Have you seen this man?

Derek. Derek!

Stop! Stop!

Derek!

( TIRES SQUEAL )

- Hola, sexy.

- Como estas?

Oh, no, sorry.

Wrong car.

I'm going to make some pasta.

Do you want some?

No. No, thanks.

Ava, you haven't eaten

in two days.

Maybe just some water.

...Derek Grant,

who disappeared three days ago.

The couple were on their

honeymoon on the island.

All previous leads have

been dismissed as attempts

to cash in on

the considerable reward money.

Did anyone call?

You're not really expecting

any calls, are you, Ava?

- What?

- What really happened?

What aren't you telling us?

You think there's something

I'm not telling you?

I think there's a great deal

you're not telling us.

Dad.

Maybe something

went down in that bar

and Derek got killed.

Maybe somebody

wanted to kill you...

and killed him instead.

Maybe you guys just kind of...

fell off the program

and things got violent.

I don't know.

But I do know

that you are

the reason he's gone.

And I think you're

trying to tap into my finances.

( SIGHS )

I don't give a sh*t

about your finances, Mr. Grant,

but I love your son.

I love him more than I've loved

anything in my entire life,

and I always will.

But f*** you.

( DOOR SLAMS )

I'm sorry.

- Ready? Si?

- Si.

Yay!

( LAUGHS )

( LAUGHS, SPEAKING SPANISH )
