back, I swear, it's just...

I just need a little

something to get by

until Dennis gets paid

for the accident...

I can't, Ma.

Wait, wait... just hear me,

Just listen, please... please.

Baby, if I don't get a little

money, I ain't gonna eat.

There are food banks, Ma.

Baby please, I just need a

little money to get by.

I can't.

I can let you use my

phone if you want to try

and call someone.

You're gonna do this to me?

You're gonna look down on me?

Judge me?

Huh?

Oh, what, am I a little too

loud for your friends?

Don't you forget, baby,

I've been there since

the beginning, I

know who you are.

Now you might have been fooling

them, but you ain't fooling me,

I know who you are and

I know what you done.

So you'rejust gonna

help Mama out

and we're gonna forget

all about this, right?

Samantha!

Samantha, wait!

You really want

that piece of sh*t?

I got a 70-inch TV

right over there

that's perfect for gaming.

How much?

15 bucks.

Oh sh*t...

No! No! Porfavor!

Alex!

What the hell?

What the f***?

Do you see me?

What is this? What is this?

Who are you?

How are you doing that?

Who are you?

You talking to me?

Alex, what the f***!

Bama?

Yeah... Bama!

What the f*** is going on?

Open the f***ing door!

Come on, man!

F***!

What are you doing?

Put the f***ing bat down!

Who you yelling at?

Is this a joke?

What?

Is this a f***ing joke?

I don't know what the f***

you're talking about!

My TV!

There's some sort

of surveillance.

Your TV?

What's with all the boxes?

What could they have on you?

Everything's been clean.

She looked like the

chick on "Urban Hope?"

What did she say?

Nothing.

It doesn't make sense.

Maybe there was some sort of

surveillance or something.

That TV come with like

a webcam or something?

No, it didn't come

with a f***ing webcam.

You watch "Urban Hope?"

What? No.

F*** this.

Where you goin'?

Motel.

What about Tommy's?

Hello?

Hey... He awake?

No... no, he's resting

right now...

He had a rough day.

Okay.

I'll tell him you called.

Is this your number?

Okay, thank you.

Have you had any health

problems recently?

Fever, kidney illness,

liver problems?

No.

No drugs?

Anything that might

cause an hallucination?

No.

Tell me about seeing your mother.

How did that make you feel?

She's not my mother.

I don't understand what that

has to do with hallucinations.

Did it bring up the past?

Maybe your time on the street?

The pregnancy?

I'm trying to get to the

heart of this, Samantha.

Hallucinations can be a symptom

of psychotic depression,

even schizophrenia, so we need

to take this thing seriously.

I want you to come in a couple

times a week for a while.

I'm going to hold off on any

anti-psychotics for now,

but I want to put you

on an anti-depressant.

I think it would be a good

idea for you to take some

time off work, and

keep the TV off.

Find some other ways to

keep yourself distracted.

It felt real.

Hi!

How are you today?

Good, you?

Well, it's almost

the end of the day,

so that's always a good thing.

That's good.

What do you have here?

Tim will ring you up.

You look good... in

your uniform and all.

Why didn't you call?

Don't you forget, baby, I've

been there since the beginning,

I know who you are.

Now you might've been fooling

them, but you ain't fooling me.

I know who you are and

I know what you done.

So you'rejust gonna help Mama

out and we're gonna forget

all about this, right?

How are you doing this?

Is this a joke?

You're an actor.

This a joke?

You're David Carranza

from... from the show.

Just stop and you tell

me exactly who you are!

Okay, this isn't funny!

Enough!

Stop!

Tell me who you are!

You play a thief, a cargo

thief on TV named Alex.

You go on heists,

Bama, Gaudy, Tommy...

Tommy's about to get arrested

because he made a deal

with an undercover agent.

Your character's from Guatemala.

Don't...

What do you want?

I watch your show every week.

So I text her back, tell

her I'm going to stop by

while she's bartending

to have a drink.

She says, "that's cool,"

and then I go there and

she's not there, then I call

her and she doesn't pick up.

What?

Don't turn, keep going.

What?

Keep going, don't turn!

Okay... okay!

Don't accelerate.

Sh*t!

Be cool,

Sh*t.

This is not good.

F***, Tommy!

How'd that happen,

someone rolled on him?

I would have just

pulled right up there.

Funny how you asked

me to stop, right?

You got that sixth sense.

What draws you...

fuels you... consumes you?

There are places in this

world we simply have to go.

Can you hear me?

How did you know?

Know what?

You need to tell me

everything that you know.

Your show's been on four seasons.

Cops... Cops and robbers show,

it started when you

got out of prison.

You, uh, you're the loner of the

group, been trying to get out

of the cartel, but have a

debt, since you were a kid.

Your parents were murdered

during a Civil War.

You were on the streets,

the cartels took you in.

You ran drugs, they

made you fight.

They brought you

across the border.

Who are you?

Who do you think I am?

Tell me!

No, you tell me.

You think I'm someone on a show?

Who?

Tiffany Mualem.

An actor?

What happens?

I'm not doing this!

Hey, you want to figure this

out, you gotta communicate!

What do you know?

You're a paramedic.

Anyone could know that.

You're independent... tough...

your character grew up rough.

A lot of people grow up rough.

You sing, when you're alone.

And you kiss a pendant every

day before you go to work,

like it's a rosary.

You're ashamed of your past

when you were younger.

No one knows.

I don't understand this,

what's happening?

What's your number?

What?

Your number...

Uhh, 30-490-9172.

172?

What the f***?

Where are you right now?

What?

Where do you live?

Why would I tell you that?

You want to figure this out,

we need to communicate.

Los Perditus.

What's your address?

1246 Franklin.

Apartment?

What are you doing?

Apartment?

Stay there, don't go

anywhere, I'm coming to you.

Come visit us! Planet

Honda, Planet Hyundai!

Fair, fast...

Ah, sh*t.

What are you doing, Samantha?

Yeah...

This Sam's place?

Sam?

Tiffany?

Tiffany, no.

You got the wrong place.

Hey... hey!

Hey man, I'm not afraid to

call a cop, I will call a cop.

I look bad, but I

think you look worse.

Tell me the one

about the Damn Ham.

I don't want to talk

to you about that...

Come on, I'm dying here.

So there's this really religious

woman and she goes to the deli

to buy dinner for her family

and she sees this butcher

and asks him, "what's that?"

The butcher says, "that there,

ma'am, that's Damn Ham."

And the woman gets offended, she

says, "I'm a very religious"

woman, can you please

watch your language?"

And the butcher says, "no,

no, no, they call it Damn Ham"

because it's fish they

caught at the Dam."

And the woman says,

"Okay, I see, I see,

well, it looks wonderful."

So she goes home and starts to
