F*** her!

Do you understand?

Whoa!

OPHELIA:
Dennis wanted

$3 million. The boys

wanted Magda.

Dennis, as usual,

was one step ahead.

I'd Iike to blow

your f***ing heads off.

They threatened my daughters.

My daughters!

Enough with the whining.

You deserve every

f***ing inch

of your pain, a**hole.

You gave us up.

Like I had a choice.

You could have gone along.

You would have made big money.

But you had to pull

your Iraq GI Jack sh*t.

We want Magda.

Ask your smart-ass boy, here.

SEAL boy, hey.

Did you figure it out

from the transcripts?

AII the calls

to Orange County?

Where the f*** is she?

What's in it for me?

Your Iife,

which I'm about to take.

I'm dead either way.

But the thought

of you sitting

in a prison cell for

the rest of your Iife

gives me great

afterlife pleasure.

A million in cash,

for Magda's Iocation.

Say goodbye to your wife,

take your girls and go.

Three mil.

Or no deal.

That's my walk-away price.

Walk away from what,

Dennis?

Nobody wants you.

Magda is your only hope.

Three mil,

take it or Ieave it.

Throw in your snitch.

The three mil,

you can do whatever

you want with it.

AII right?

Start talking.

When I see the money.

It's in the car.

Get it.

(BELL CHIMING)

What the f*** you want?

(GROANS)

OPHELIA:
My boys took a page

from Elena's playbook.

If you want to

control somebody,

take what they love.

(MAGDA SCREAMING)

F***!

No, no, no!

(MUFFLED SOBS)

Take her gag off.

O, how are you

holding up?

Are you guys okay?

You hang in there, baby.

We're coming for you.

What do you want?

BEN:
Shut the f*** up.

You want to start

by understanding

you're not in

charge anymore, Elena.

We are.

Do you understand?

Don't nod. Say it.

I understand.

This is how

it's to work.

Your daughter

goes with you,

O comes with us.

No money, no nothing.

We go our separate ways

and we Iive our

separate Iives.

Do you understand?

I understand.

I only care about Magda.

That's very sweet.

And if that reflects

a change of attitude,

you'll have to prove it.

You bring O

to a place we designate,

at a time we designate.

We exchange Magda.

You bring no one else.

You deviate from the plan

in any minute detail,

and the girl

will die very badly.

I'll do anything you say.

(GROANS)

You'll hear from us.

(MAGDA SCREAMING)

I told you they

would come for me.

Get her out of here.

F*** you, Elena.

Get her out of here!

Out!

(SOBBING)

Put her on the chair.

I enjoyed that.

Your boys did good.

Real good.

Juancario, Sophia,

Ieave me alone

with the senorita.

It's almost over.

With a happy ending.

But before you go home,

I want to

show you something.

(OPHELIA GASPING)

(SCREAMING)

Oh, you missed

the best part.

I'll be in touch, baby.

DENNIS:
Do you remember

my graduation day?

I'll never forget

the way you Iooked at me

when I got my badge.

You were so proud.

But, you know,

they don't tell you when

they give you the badge

the river of sh*t

you're going to have

to wade through.

And the joke is,

they don't want you to get

any of that sh*t on you.

They want you to

walk through it clean,

but what's clean anymore?

I have to go to my supervisor,

and he takes his taste and...

If you want to see

the real crooks,

the real pros,

just turn on

the f***ing TV.

Yeah.

We've made heroes of whores.

A nation of whores.

Wall Street. Washington.

Those bastards make

what I do out here

Iook pathetic.

If they woke up

with my job,

with my Iife,

with my salary,

they'd be Iooking

for the nearest

gun to swallow.

You can't stop.

You can't climb out.

No Ieft turns,

no right turns.

It's just a circle

and everybody gets their cut.

I can't tell you

the Iast thing that I saw

that was completely clean.

Except you.

Except you on that day.

Aqui, WKQ.

You in positions?

Si, jefe, esta bien.

OPHELIA:
Like I said

in the beginning,

I might not be

alive at the end.

Just because we

make up stories

about ourselves

doesn't mean

we can escape

what waits for us.

BEN:
Why here?

CHON:
It's a wide bowl.

Old Indian burial ground.

Doc can get a Iine of sight

for up to two miles here.

DOC:
We're not alone.

Three men,

Ieft side of the basin,

about 2,000 to 2,300 yards.

AII right, we knew

this was going to happen.

Wait until we get a hold of O.

And, Doc...

Don't Iet them get off

more than one

shot each, all right?

We got your back.

Let's set up shop, boys.

Think of it Iike this,

all right?

You're already dead.

You were dead

the moment you were born.

If you accept that,

you can accept anything.

It's been a ride, man.

I've enjoyed it.

Have I ever told you

that I Iove you, man?

Yeah, this morning.

Well, I do.

You give us O first.

Now.

Go to Ben. Go to Ben.

Give me my daughter!

Now!

Go.

Don't touch me!

I'm never going

to see you again.

I'm getting

the f*** out of here!

Magdita...

It's Ioaded, okay?

Okay.

Keep safe.

Keep down, okay?

We're finished.

We don't need to

see you again, thanks.

We're out of here.

Vamos?

Just one Iast thing,

"Caviar."

Who's my rat?

(BLOWS KISS)

You ungrateful piece of...

You should've f***ed me.

(GROANS)

Team Ieader down!

Who's got the tango at my six?

AII right, Jesse.

Shoot whatever

the f*** you got! Go!

Come on, guys!

It's raining bullets, here.

What the f*** are you doing?

Sh*t! Move, Sam!

Chief, should we shift?

Negative, stay put!

Go!

Oh, f***!

Smoke that motherf***er.

DOC:
Sam, cover Ben!

BILLY:
Move! Cover me,

cover me! Hold!

Move!

Mommy, Mommy!

I Iove you, Mommy!

No, no, no!

Help Magda.

Save Magda. Save Magda.

Get out of here!

Go, come on!

(GUN FIRES)

F***!

Don't shoot.

Please, Ophelia.

I have a family.

Three Iittle ones, you know?

Please.

Ben!

DOC:
Chief, they took off.

We're coming in.

Hold on.

We'll be there in 10 or Iess.

Chon?

Please, help him.

(BEN GASPS)

OPHELIA:
Shh... It's okay.

It's okay.

He's going to die.

Chon,

I don't want to Ieave him.

No.

(GASPS)

You're really

going to Iove it there.

Soft water.

Stars.

And the people

smile...

(ALL GASPING)

I'm cold.

OPHELIA:
That's the way

I imagined it.

But the truth has

a mind of its own.

What really happened

was more of a f***-up

than a shoot-out.

And gave us all

a second chance.

CHON:
We said

"alone," Elena.

I am one, you are two.

Let's just do

what we came to do.

And the snipers.

Tell them to put

the scopes on the ground,

hands in the air.

Or we're back in

the jeep and we're gone.

Get rid of them.

ELENA:
So how do you

want to do this?

(ENGINE STARTING)

Adios, amiguitas.

(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)

Go, go!

Magda!

OPHELIA:
And old Dennis,

who couldn't Ieave town

with his three mil

had to horn in on the action.

Go! Go!

Run!

"La Reina" Elena!

We gotcha!

DENNIS:
Today,

we have made great strides

to further

protect our children

and our freedoms.

OPHELIA:
And Dennis sure

made a big shot

of himself on the news.

By dismantling the leadership

of the Baja cartel
