Thirteen is our number,

but this is not open-ended.

I give you two weeks.

The rest of our deal

stays the same. Agreed?

Agreed.

Let's get going.

OPHELIA:
Dear Mom,

don't freak when

you see the bill.

Remember,

it's a one-time-only in Paris.

Did you know

you can't even ask prices

or the snooty salesgirls

won't look at you?

These French b*tches,

they eat all the time

and they're so skinny!

OPHELIA:
So, Mom,

here I am in London.

You'd die if you saw

the portrait of Ophelia

hanging in my room.

I'm having

the time of my life,

but being here really

makes me appreciate home.

I hope you know

how much I love you.

I miss you.

I'll see you soon.

O.

Esteban.

You forgot this.

(WHISPERING) Please Iet me

talk to someone.

Not him, not him.

Please, help me.

CHON:
There.

There's the money.

That's where they count it.

Two, three times a week,

they head south to Mexico.

You see that curve?

Road, bridge, road.

One way in, no way out.

You nervous?

No. I hijack cash

shipments all the time.

(LAUGHS)

Good.

Chon, I don't know

if I can do this.

Do what?

Kill somebody.

Look, Ben. There's no

"undo" button here.

There's still time

for you to walk away.

I got five good

guys ready to go.

No. I'm in.

This was my idea.

Good.

BILLY:
Alpha-One in position.

Copy that.

DOC:
Charlie-Three

in position.

Copy.

(FLICKS LIGHTER)

They don't call it

hijacking for nothing, Ben.

No.

Three bogies

coming your way.

Copy that, gentlemen.

May AIIah be with you.

First bogie,

coming your way.

Charlie, you got someone

knocking on your front door.

DOC:
We got it. Copy.

I got your back.

I want you to stay flat

until you get that

clear signal from me.

You understand?

Yeah.

DOC:
Second vehicle is

about 200 meters behind it.

Third, about 300 to 400.

Here's our dance partner.

Now, breathe.

Three, two, one.

(MEN YELLING IN SPANISH)

Bulletproof f***ing glass!

F*** you, puto.

He's got a radio!

Do you know what this is?

Whoo!

You see that baby blow, man?

Let's go, Iet's go,

Iet's go!

DOC:
C-team, moving in.

Move, move, move!

Four... Three... Two...

(YELLING IN SPANISH)

(ORDERING IN SPANISH)

Do you know who

the f*** we are?

We're the cartel, cabron.

We'll blowtorch your balls.

Rape your wife.

And your kids.

(GRUNTING)

You good?

Yeah.

I need you to go over

there and grab my case.

Grab the case.

(FIRES GUN)

GPS.

If you see it,

get rid of it.

Doc, how we doing over there?

You clear?

Yeah, we're clear here.

Good. Go, go.

Jesse, how are we?

You clear?

BEN:
Pull over.

No, you saw the radio.

They're not far behind.

I f***ed up.

Tell me, Ben.

Which Iife would

you trade for O's?

Which one?

F***ed up, man!

We f***ed up, man.

I think we got close

to three million cash.

We're still

three million short.

Pull over!

Oh, God!

Hurry up.

Let's go!

Get yourself together, Ben.

Because tomorrow,

the sh*t's really

going to hit the fan.

(BEN MOANING)

(BARKING)

Come on.

Where are the kids?

Angela's still at practice.

The boys are sleeping over.

When the hell

are we going

to sit at the table

and have dinner

Iike a family?

Get me a beer.

What's the matter?

Are you unhappy again?

You still seeing

that therapist dyke?

Three hundred bucks an hour.

Maybe I can fix

your problem. No fee.

I'll make you

pregnant again.

(GRUNTS)

(DOGS BARKING)

I want a divorce.

You want a what?

A f***ing divorce.

I don't want to be

your wife anymore.

(CURSING IN SPANISH)

What you're going

to get is another

kick in the belly.

Now shut the f*** up.

This is America, Miguel.

I already talked to a Iawyer.

I know things.

Mmm-hmm.

Dolores.

One time, I tell you.

You talk to a Iawyer again,

and I will take the

three kids to Mexico

and you will never

see them again.

You know that's the truth.

F*** you!

I promise I will kill you.

That's the Dolores

I'd Iike to f***.

Turn around.

No.

(SOBBING)

(DOGS BARKING)

Get out.

Get out of here.

Get out! Go!

(JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING)

Better be good.

ALEX:
Hernando heard

Gigi say they were wearing

Santa Muerte masks.

They were tall.

Thinks he saw two.

Hernando.

Yeah.

How many guys

you think did this?

At Ieast five,

maybe six.

There's three Iocations.

Almost at the same time.

And they ditched

the GPS's.

What's this?

That's an improvised

explosive device. IED.

It's from Iraq.

The sand-n*ggers use them

to blow up gero armor.

Iraq.

Who the f***...

EI Azul's been

hiring ex-soldiers.

Probably Mexican

demolition guys

from the Yankee army.

You don't know that.

Hernando.

Bury them Iike men,

what's Ieft.

Money to their families.

What do we tell Elena?

That we know sh*t.

Nothing.

She's going to get real upset

if we don't tell her nothing

and reads about

it in the papers.

Oh, shut the f*** up.

I'm the one who knows Elena.

Let me handle it.

Csar!

(ORDERING IN SPANISH)

Si, Senora.

(IN SPANISH)

No, Madrina.

But, I have a...

What?

I have this girl that keeps

insisting to talk to you.

(SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

My own daughter

doesn't want to talk to me,

but this one does.

Put it on.

You have a request?

Yes, I'd like to speak to

the man in charge, please.

Yes?

Oh, I'm...

Has Esteban not been

providing the essentials?

Um...

No, he did.

I'm sorry.

I'm just having

some concentration problems,

and I was hoping

maybe I could get

a little something

to take the edge off.

"The edge off"?

What's the matter?

Is it that time of the month?

I mean the stuff

we're all killing

each other over.

I see.

May I ask you how Iong

have you been using, Ophelia?

Since the eighth grade.

(LAUGHS)

And you're wondering

why you're having

concentration problems?

Do your parents know?

They didn't care.

AII right.

I can arrange something.

FEMALE NEWSCASTER:

Three vehicles smoldering

from what Iooks to be

a coordinated,

rocket-propelled

grenade attack

used in

coordination with IEDs,

which stands for

"improvised

explosive devices."

CHON:
Ben.

(JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING)

These are the same types

of explosives

used by the Taliban

against our

troops in Afghanistan.

They sure don't waste time.

They want to see you.

I don't know, man.

Remember the drill.

Look them right in the eyes.

There's only one

thing on your mind,

one thing.

It's, "F*** you,

you've got O."

I've got your back.

And watch your breathing.

Fellas.

Afternoon.

Good afternoon, yeah.

So, we got a problem.

Where were you

Iast night?

I was at home, why?

Who the f***'s this guy?

An amigo, amigo.

Three of our cars

were hit Iast night.

Seven of our men

are soon to be buried.

What?

That was you guys?

I saw that on the news.

This is f***ing great.

I've been in this

business for years

and never had a person killed.

And now you're telling me,

what, seven people are dead?

This Ioss ain't cutting

into our share of the take.

Where's the other one?

Huh?

Your other amigo,

where is he?

You asked me

to come alone.

Hmm?
