The Devil's in the Details Page #3

---

Some of those enemies

have drugs of their own.

Your family, is going to work together

to bring those drugs to us.

You want my family to help you

steal from your rival cartel.

Yes, I do.

How?

Well, that's where we use something

we like to call ingenuity.

Okay, pay attention.

You see this house?

Yeah?

It's a drop house

for the Sin Miedo cartel.

There's some mean

motherfuckers in that house.

That house is also filled with drugs.

Drugs we now need.

So, your father, the judge,

is gonna swear out a warrant

on this house,

Your sister, the cop, is gonna serve

the warrant to get inside the house...

...and get the drugs out of there.

Don't you say no to me!

Then, we're gonna send some

drugs across the border...

...and your brother Kyle is just

gonna let them right on through.

She gets you, we get the drugs,

nobody else gets hurt.

Think of it

as a drug mule chess game.

No, no, no.

No, I won't involve them,

all right?

They didn't do anything

to deserve this.

Maybe I didn't make myself

clear enough.

Maybe you need things

a little more crystal.

You sure about that decision?

Are you?

Ow, f***!

No?

Huh? Huh? No?

Let me see if I can give you

some more incentive.

Mommy!

Help me!

Are you gonna cooperate?

Yes, yes! Yes!

Just don't hurt my girl.

Don't hurt my baby girl.

That's a good boy. The Sin Miedo cartel

does not like waiting around.

How do you work for

the Mexican cartel?

We're the American liaison.

Sometimes the devil gets more

done when his eyes are blue.

Now I need you

to call your father.

You've got exactly five minutes

to convince him to do the right thing.

Hello?

Dad!

Hello.

Dad, listen to me!

I need your help!

Help with what?

Dad, this is really important.

I need you to listen to me.

Dad!

I'm listening, Tommy.

Listen, I've been kidnapped,

Selina and Chloe are in danger.

Kidnapped?

Yes!

By whom?

Dad, just listen to me,

all right?

What are you talking about, Tommy?

Selina and Chloe are being held

hostage.

If we don't do what they tell us

to do, they're gonna kill them.

Who's going to kill them?

A Mexican cartel.

A Mexican cartel?

Yes, Dad!

You're not on drugs again,

are you, Tommy?

No, no!

We paid for rehab once,

we're not doing it again.

You need to concentrate on

fixing what matters.

It's not drugs, you idiot!

All right? This is for real, okay?

If we don't do what

they tell us to do,

they are going to kill

my family and me.

Do you understand me?

Stop yelling! Let me think.

Put them on the phone.

Let me talk to them.

This isn't something you can

control, councilor! Come on!

This isn't something you can control, Dad.

Just do as you're told!

Thomas, is that you?

Yeah, oh, god, Mom. Mom, Mom,

you need to get off the phone!

Well, that's not very nice of you,

considering I haven't

heard from you in months!

I mean Kyle...

I need to talk to Dad alone.

Did you get the money I sent you?

A nice phone call

would have been appreciated.

What do I know. I just hope

you're not taking those pills again.

Mom, get the f*** off the phone,

all right!

Dad, get her off the phone!

Get her off the phone now!

She shouldn't hear all of this!

She shouldn't hear this.

What is wrong with you?

Barbra, hang up the phone.

All right, have it your way.

Tell them to look for the bright

pink envelope.

Pink what?

The pretty pink envelope.

Hello? Are you there?

A pink envelope?

Hello?

Say you son of a b*tch, I'm talking

to you! The pink envelope!

Okay, okay!

This is the lowest thing you've

ever done to us.

Dad, I need you to look for a

pink envelope. Dad, Dad! Dad!

No! No, no, no, no.

He hung up.

Son of a b*tch hung up.

He didn't hang up.

He didn't hang up.

That means your time is up, son.

No, no, no, no, no!

No, Bill, Bill, he didn't hang up!

Bill! He didn't hang up!

Answer the phone! Answer the phone!

Answer it.

That's him, that's him!

Look for the big f***ing envelope.

Dad! The pink envelope!

I have it right here.

We got disconnected,

your mother found this.

It said to call this number.

What is this?

What is inside of it, Dad?

What is this, Tommy?

What do you see?

It's some sort of map

with an address.

Okay, okay, that's good,

that's good.

That's good?

Listen to me, the people holding

us hostage, they need drugs.

They need drugs, not you.

You're being held hostage, where?

I don't know where, Dad.

You just have to pay attention,

all right?

The house on that map is where

they stashed the drugs, all right?

Who's hiding a shipment?

The La Sangre cartel,

La Sangre?

Well, it's the Sin Miedo cartel.

I don't know, I don't know.

They're going after them.

Son, do you know how violent

that drug cartel is?

Yeah, Dad! Dad!

What kind of trouble

did you get your family into?

Stop asking so many questions, all right?

Just pay attention.

I need you to write a search and

seizure warrant for that house.

And I need you to do it now!

I need you to do it now.

But there are channels for this.

Yeah, you are the channel, Dad!

Okay? I don't care what you do,

just do it!

Do it now, please!

If you don't, I am dead, Selina is dead

and Chloe, your granddaughter is dead!

Wait a second, how did this

envelope show up?

Dad, this Mexican cartel,

they have a network of people,

they are everywhere, all right?

Okay, son, then what?

Then just call this number back

and tell me it's done, all right?

Just do it now, Dad, please?

As quickly as you can,

please just do it?

Okay, Thomas?

What?

It's gonna be okay.

Just go now, Dad!

Go!

That's not bad.

That is not bad at all,

Thomas.

You did good.

Your family will be

very proud of you.

How's Chloe, man?

She's good.

Good, I miss that little girl.

You got a good one, Tom.

Yes, I know.

Too bad she's got an old

derelict for a dad.

I need you to call your sister.

The lovely Claire.

I'll give you four minutes.

Hello? This is the Dawbar home,

I'm Elizabeth.

Elizabeth?

Who is this?

It's your Uncle Thomas,

sweetie.

Oh, hey, Uncle Thomas,

I haven't seen you in so long.

Why don't you come over any more?

Sweetie, I've been really caught

with work.

You're not sick again like last

time, are you?

No, no, no, no.

I'm all better, I'm all better.

This is really touching, truly,

somewhere in my crotch area,

The clock is ticking.

Elzy, Elzy, I need to talk to your mommy,

could you put her on the phone, please?

She's not home yet. She should be soon.

Do you want to talk to Daddy?

No, no, no!

Uncle Thomas is on the phone.

Thomas?

Bryan.

Claire's not here.

She's not?

What is it you need?

Bryan, I... please!

Bryan, it's important.

So, how's the pill popping?

I know you never liked me,

all right?

But I just really, really don't have

time for you to be a dick right now!

Why would I do that, Thomas?

Look, I hope you're not calling

for money.

That ship sailed

a long time ago.

Get my f***ing sister on the phone,

you dick!

Yeah,

now that's the Thomas I know.
