Savages Page #7

You asked me

to come alone.

You did?

ALEX:
I did.

(TALKING IN SPANISH)

Don't even go there, man.

We had nothing

to do with this.

Maybe you should

Iook at your own men.

Our people know better.

Whatever, man.

F***ing solve it, okay?

I want to talk to O.

Yeah?

Proof of Iife.

Like everyone else,

we work for incentives.

We'll see.

Hmm.

(EXHALES)

What do you think?

I think he's

telling the truth.

They don't have

the balls to rob us.

I'm not so sure,

you know?

It doesn't matter.

We have to report

this to Elena, Lado.

Alex, I'll tell Elena

when I want her to know.

I'll call you Iater.

(OPHELIA COUGHS)

Next time,

ask me for what you want.

Drink up, Ophelia.

Time for your bath.

Bathtub time.

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

Oh, f***.

Yes?

ELENA:
Magdita.

Hi, Mom. Wow, it's Iate.

Guess what?

I'm coming to California!

What?

Well, you know

what they say.

If the mountain

doesn't come to Mohammed,

Mohammed comes to California.

I've got my finals, Mom.

I'm coming next week,

and that's what's final.

Yeah, sure, I guess.

I'm so excited to

see you, mijita!

LADO:
I don't think that's

a good idea, Madrina.

Azul could take

advantage of this situation.

ELENA:
I want to see Magda.

I have to

arrange your transport.

It's complicated.

It's already

been arranged.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

What the f*** you

Iooking at, man?

I gave her some sh*t,

so Iet her sleep.

Wake her up in six hours.

Sophia will wash her.

(OPHELIA GASPS)

It's okay.

Okay, sweetie-pie,

time to go.

Last Iooks.

Este.

It didn't work out.

You're too sensitive.

Have you been

treated well, Ophelia?

Are you all right?

She's fine.

I'm not talking

to you, Lado.

I'm talking to Ophelia.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Good.

Chucho, take her to

the guest house, please.

(IN SPANISH)

So, Lado,

now I'm talking to you.

Let me see your eyes.

Is everything all right?

Yes, Madrina.

Why you ask?

You make me sad, Lado.

I have to come

to Gringolandia

to find this out?

You thought I

wasn't going to notice

$3 million,

and seven of my men dead?

Since when do you take

decisions of your own...

(IN SPANISH)

I made you,

motherf***er. I did!

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'm very sorry, Madrina.

It was stupid of me not

to tell you right away.

I just wanted to prove

to you that it was

this Cheech and Chong

who were stealing

your money.

So, please.

AIIow me to talk to them.

Yes, and men will say

anything to stop the pain.

Mierda, Lado. You're

stupider than you Iook!

These two kids,

all they care

about is their girl.

They wouldn't do

anything to risk her Iife.

But it's distracting you

from our bigger problem,

which is EI Azul.

To the point that

he has infiltrated

himself into

the northern group,

which is under your control.

But if you think

I'm the only one

who's going to

be Iosing money,

you're in for a surprise.

First of all,

those $3 million?

You're going to pay for it.

Yeah, you, too.

Second of all,

you're going to find me...

...that gave up our

stash house to Azul.

Or else, I'm going to have

to go after your wives,

and your children...

You may go now.

What are you waiting for?

OPHELIA:
The Red Queen

asked me to dinner.

I think she was lonely.

I had a job for a while.

I was a hostess

at a restaurant.

I went to community college

for a semester and a half.

But then I Ieft,

because institutions

make me crazy.

And I thought,

I don't know, I wanted to

experience something real.

I figured I just

wanted to drown in Iife.

And how I made it out,

that would...

Do Americans

always talk this way?

Have you ever really

thought about your future?

That's a Iittle ironic,

considering

the situation I'm in.

How are your

Iamb chops, Ophelia?

Good, thank you.

How did you get

into the business?

If you don't mind

my asking, ma'am.

You could say that

I inherited the position.

When they killed my husband,

whom I Iove very much,

I had no choice.

What, you don't have sons?

My twin sons were murdered.

So, I have devoted my Iife

to my surviving children.

Do you still get to

talk to your kids?

My son hates me,

because I took his power away.

They would have

killed him, too.

And my daughter,

she's ashamed of me.

And I am proud of her for it.

I'm sorry.

Why?

I don't know.

I guess I feel bad for you.

My hope is still alive.

Both of them.

And yours is dead.

I Iike talking

to you, Ophelia.

But Iet me remind

you that if I had to,

I wouldn't have a problem

cutting both their throats.

Well, you'll never

get them together.

I'm the only one

who can do that.

Come on.

Are you really

bragging about that?

There's something wrong

with your Iove story, baby.

They may Iove you,

but they will never Iove you

as much as they

Iove each other.

Otherwise,

they wouldn't share you,

would they?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

SPIN:
I gave your boy

Alex a new bank

account in Saint Kitts.

Separate deposits

of 120, 260, and 90.

I spin it around

the planet twice,

and voil.

Alex Reyes now owns

a building in Cabo,

sells it to

a resident of Palau

who doesn't exist.

OPHELIA:
My men knew

they couldn't pull

off another heist.

So they found a different way.

By end of the day,

he's definitely been

one bad Iittle puddy cat.

Phone records?

Yeah. Plenty of backup.

This account is so confusing,

it'll take a forensic

a month just to find

his own dick.

So, what did

this guy do to you?

When do you ask

questions Iike that?

Come on, man.

This is the Baja cartel.

They're probably

going to crucify

this guy for this.

So, you don't mind

Iosing your

commission on the deal?

OPHELIA:
They knew they needed

to get the suspicion

off themselves.

But what they didn't know

is that Lado

was already making

plans of his own.

(HORNS HONKING)

(EL AZUL SPEAKING SPANISH)

LADO:
Welcome to the barrio.

So, what you

going to talk about?

Sit down.

Well, after our Iast

pleasant chat,

I had my IT guys do

a Iittle deep research.

This cost me

a Iot of money.

What is it?

Your informant.

Who?

I think you guys are paying

Alex Reyes way too much.

Don't believe me?

Give this to Jaime,

he'll get it.

Unless he's in on it.

There's a Iot there.

Bank accounts, transactions.

Take a Iook at

the deposit dates

and match them up

with the hijackings.

(IN SPANISH)

Let me see your hands.

Soft, Iike a woman's.

And he's f***ing me

with them.

(GIGGLES)

Let me ask you something.

Do you Iove your sister?

I don't have a sister.

Ophelia's not your sister?

No.

You're cute, Iambioso.

You can go now.

Like I said,

follow the money.

I need to talk to Elena.

(QUESTIONS IN SPANISH)

She told you,

whatever I need.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(TV PLAYING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I'm sorry.

What I said

the other night

was stupid.

I can't sleep

and I thought

it'd be nice

to have some company

for a few minutes.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

You too?

I Iike to TiVo.

Especially in America.

OPHELIA:
She's going
