You better not f*** around

on your next trip.

Got it?

You've been trained now.

What about Lucy's money?

What about it?

- I want to give it to her family.

- You've got nothing to do with that.

You have her pellets.

That's none of your business.

She died doing this.

They found her body.

I just want to give her sister the money.

No f***ing way.

She deserves a proper burial.

After what you did to her...

it's your responsibility.

F*** that. She knew what she was doing.

It's not on us.

- Of course...

- Shut the f*** up, b*tch! Get out. Now!

And this is so Carla can send Lucy

back to Colombia.

Okay.

If that's what she wants.

One minute, please.

I'll be back in a minute. Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

I'm going back to Colombia.

I just wanted to say goodbye to Lucy.

She looks pretty.

I don't understand why she never

said anything.

We grew so far apart.

Blanca.
