Well, she wants

to see you.

She- she-

You're her little boy

and she misses you.

And so I'm taking you

to her,

and then after I'm going to take

you back to your grandfather.

Okay? And that's it.

F***.

So now I don't need to

tie you up or anything.

You know? From now on.

'Cause you know it now.

You know the deal, all right?

Well, just listen.

Just take these.

This is stomach medicine.

And it's gonna be

good for you, okay?

- That's what made me sick.

- No no no.

This is medicine.

This why it's called medicine.

I mean, it's good for you.

Come on, come on, come on, Tom.

Come on, come on, come on.

There you go.

Okay okay.

Okay, take that.

There we go.

Larry Williams, please

Man on phone:

Whytekear Incorporated.

Uh, it's me. I'm the same

person who called yesterday.

About the kid-

gimme Whytekear.

This is Whytekear.

- I know where your grandson is.

- You have Tom?

No no, not me.

I, uh...

I saw him when he

got out of the car.

Uh, he was half naked

and, um...

And I... and I saw the woman

from the TV- the mother.

Um, I recognized him.

Where are they now?

They're in this house.

They're still there.

It's full of crackheads!

And, um, I-I-

I know because...

well, uh, I'm no Angel.

And, okay, so it's where

I get my sh*t.

Um, but, uh...

you know, I can't be

involved in this.

I have to remain

anonymous because-

how do I know

it's really Tom?

Um, he's wearing

a bathing suit

with blue stripes.

What is it you want?

What is it?

Tell me!

Uh, I want what I can sell-

My information, $2 million.

$2 million and you

guarantee

he will be at the address

you give me?

They're there

and they've been there.

I've been watching them

all night.

And when can you

get the money?

Tomorrow.

Okay, 8:
00 P.M.,

L.A. Greyhound

Bus Station, locker 444.

Yeah, well, I can see you're mad at me.

Uh, I know you're mad,

but I had to go out, right?

I had to tie you up.

I mean, you run away and your

mom never gets to see you.

See what she gave me

to give you?

Huh? That's her own

beautiful medallion.

What?

Yeah, see...

No need to cover my face.

You can see me.

You know why we're together.

So she gave me this to give to

you and she wants you to wear it

To protect you

and to keep you safe

until she can do that herself.

Now...

if I promise you

I'll never tie you up again...

are you gonna promise me

that you're not gonna run off

and you're gonna stay with

me and you're gonna be good?

Mm-hmm!

Yeah, and the pants.

And the shoes,

yeah, put them on.

Just put them on.

Are they good?

They're too big, ma'am.

Well, better too big

than too small.

Come on, sit down.

Sit down.

Jesus, sit down!

I'm going to get you

some food.

What are you doing?

I like it in here, ma'am.

W- well, why?

I mean, we've got food,

everything.

You have a problem?

You scare me.

What?

Son of a b*tch.

No no, don't come in.

No cleaning.

No cleaning.

Get out.

Get out!

Okay, I'm gonna untie you now.

All right, so hold still.

Let me help you.

- No no, go slow.

- You liar!

Let me go.

Ow ow!

Tom!

That was the last time,

I promise!

Oh, kiss my butt, you idiot!

Tom, where are you going?

There's nowhere to go here.

That was

the last time!

I swear to God,

I'm not coming back.

We're staying here

for a while.

You need water!

Look!

I'm gonna leave this here.

Okay?

I'm gonna leave you alone.

Tom!

Tom!

I see you.

What are you doing

up there?

Come down.

Stay in the shade.

It's hot.

You want me to come up

and getcha?

I can see you.

Oh, for-

you're gonna get burned.

Don't tell me

I didn't warn you.

We've gotta go down

and get some water.

Where are you going?

How long do we

have to stay here?

Not long.

Until she calls.

When she calls, we'll go.

Where?

You'll find out.

I don't have

to tell you everything.

Why isn't she

just here now?

She sees me- done!

I go home.

It's not...

it's not that easy,

you know?

She...

She has to be careful.

Because of your grandfather.

He really hates her,

you know?

On account of her being Mexican.

You know that?

Which, by the way,

makes you half Mexican.

I betcha he doesn't

talk to you about that.

Huh?

I bet he's really

really sweet to you.

He's a f***ing racist

to her.

You listen to me,

your grandfather,

he's just jealous

because-

because he knows

he's just some

tired out old f***

who's in a wheelchair

and who's gonna die soon.

And your mother, she's...

she's wonderful.

She's just

a beautiful human being.

She's warm

and got

this beautiful smile.

And everybody loves her

and...

actually you look like her.

You've got her eyes.

She looks like a-

like a squaw,

Like a beautiful

red Indian squaw

with, you know,

long shiny black hair.

And she's generous-

generous heart.

Not like him.

Then why did she choose

someone like you with a gun?

- You put me in the trunk.

- Are you shot?

Where is the bullet hole?

No!

She doesn't know

I have a gun.

And anyway, what else do I do?

I mean, I come to you,

I say, "you don't know me,

I don't know you.

You get in my car.

I'm taking you to your mom. "

Would you have come?

I don't think so.

You don't give a f***.

You don't think about her.

All she does

is think about you.

You think about it.

You wouldn't even be here

If it wasn't for her.

She- she ripped you

out of her own guts.

You know what she said to me?

She said...

"For this little boy

to become a man-"

those were her words:

to become a man.

"- he has to know where

half his heart comes from. "

That's her.

When you see her,

you'll thank me.

Okay.

Okay okay!

If you don't f***ing

do this-

motherfucking do it.

Wake up and f***ing do it.

Okay.

Get away from the car!

Get away from the f***ing car.

Oh my God!

The f***ing cops were there!

I saw them, you f***ing bastard.

Liar!

I saw them.

The money was dropped.

I did my part,

now where is Tom?

You don't give a sh*t

about seeing your kid again.

Julia Harris, we know who you are.

We'll pay, but I want Tom.

If you lay a hand on him,

you are f***ing dead!

Tom? Tom?

Tom?

Tom!

Tom, Tom!

Oh oh.

Oh oh.

Oh, Tom, Tom.

Tom, Tom.

Oh, f***.

Tom, Tom.

Tom, Tom.

Tom, Tom, look at me.

Just open your eyes.

Just look at me.

Look at me.

That's good, that's good.

That's good.

Okay, that's good.

That's good.

Come on, drink a little.

There you go.

Oh, there you go.

There you go.

Oh yeah, there you go.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go. There you go...

Tom:

Marcus? Marcus?

Marcus?

It's okay, sweetie.

It's okay.

- He's right here.

- Marcus?

He's right here.

Here you go.

Pilot:
Still there?
