It's a big mistake.

I mean, I cannot rely

on your father.

I'll talk to her.

Want to put this in a bag?

Yeah?

We're leaving.

Hey, what?

I thought--I thought that you

were staying over tonight.

No chance in hell.

Okay, well, listen, you have to

call me this week, okay?

I will.

You have to keep me posted.

I will.

Call me tomorrow?

Sophie, I think--

What?

You were so wonderful

this afternoon.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you got to see some.

Me too.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Love you.

Call me tomorrow.

I will.

Okay?

I will.

Okay, love you, bye.

I love you, papi.

I love you.

Bye, mama.

Bye.

Happy Independence Day.

I'm not feeling

very independent.

So how long has he been living

in this place?

Couple years.

How long did he box for?

God, since way before

I was born.

Did you ever see him?

I did.

Hey, tio Dio?

Yes?

I'm pregnant.

That's beautiful.

You're gonna have a baby,

Katalina?

Do you hear that, Tiger?

Katalina's gonna have a baby.

That is nice.

Who is the father?

Tio, Bobby.

That's nice.

Can you kick it up a notch?

Like, kick it up?

O Canada

Yeah, that's it.

Our home and na--

You know, we haven't

known each other for that long.

It's not that long.

No, it's not a long time.

It's not.

Doesn't it feel like

a long time, though?

Okay, good point.

What if you couldn't

write music anymore?

What if--what if you couldn't

play music anymore?

I'd kill myself.

Very funny.

I'm gonna play music.

I'm gonna play music.

Look, I know what you're saying,

all right?

Because based on our decision,

there's consequences for that,

for me.

I know, things change.

Things change

based on our decision,

but I'm gonna play music,

and you're gonna dance.

Dancing in a kitchen?

It wouldn't happen like that.

Do you see what's behind you?

It's beautiful.

Why don't we

stay up here tonight?

Okay.

We're here, tio.

Welcome back, Diego.

Hi.

Did you have a good day?

Yes.

I love you.

I love you too, Katalina.

Wanna say bye to Bobby?

Okay.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

You want to come over?

Okay.

Okay, girl.

Come on.

Come into the kitchen.

Come into the kitchen.

Do you have a bowl or something

so we can give her some water?

Yeah.

A bowl that doesn't have,

like, light soy sauce.

Yeah.

Mint Moroccan tea?

That's new.

I'm so hungry.

Yeah, we haven't eaten today.

Almost.

What?

What are you thinking?

How many months

have you been here?

Not that many.

I can't tell if you're

still unpacking or packing.

Unpacking.

What are you really

thinking about?

I think my mother

is all right.

What do you mean?

I just saw

so clearly today how...

she thinks life has...

disappointed her.

Really?

You know what I saw today

in your mom

that I never saw before?

Just how strong she is.

She reminded me of you today.

What?

You scared?

I know.

I don't want to

disappoint you.

Will you kiss me now?

Let's get down to the bank.

Dog in the house.

Tiger.

Come here, come here.

We're out of coffee.

I'm supposed to be

at work later today.

What was that?

It's a text from Fitz.

Asked why we didn't come

last night.

I thought it'd be

something about Tiger.

No, it's not.

What are we gonna do

with the dog?

Hi, we'd like to open

a safety deposit box, please.

Yeah, upstairs.

Upstairs?

Yeah.

I just need some signatures

on the back where the Xs are.

There.

Now, the both of you

are gonna be on there?

Yes.

Okey-doke.

We need to decide

what size box you want.

We have the 2-inch

and the 5-inch.

They're both 18 inches long.

All right.

Do you ever feel like

you're pretending?

I hope you're not talking

about last night.

And I think we're all set.

If you'll just follow me,

I'll show you

where they're kept.

Is that gonna be big enough?

How big is $500,000?

That's what I'm saying.

So, just have to show you

how it all works.

So I had this cup

of espresso.

I'm talking just a tiny shot,

you know?

The tiniest shot.

Not even, like--

it's a single,

not a double.

And I felt it instantly

in my body.

Like, I was jittery.

I had a hard time concentrating,

and I felt it in my stomach.

Like, I felt it here.

Of course, I had to go

to the bathroom immediately.

Then I was thinking,

"Oh, it's not gonna be that way

with tea,

or diet sodas probably

don't have the same effect."

But I think tea is different,

right?

You think?

Are you sure that's decaf?

Yes.

All right.

I'm turning it on.

Look, are you sure

you want to do this?

We can't stop after this.

Call him.

Okay.

Hello.

Is this Dmitri?

Yes.

Yeah, this is Bobby.

I know.

We're at a Chase bank

at the corner of Canal and Mott.

You meet us here, right now,

you bring the money,

and you put it in

as small a case as possible.

We put the money

in a safety deposit box,

then you get the phone.

I'm on my way.

He said he's on his way.

Let's get back inside.

You know, when I was little,

my dad told me

that babies grew on trees.

My dad told me

I came from his balls.

Well, that was the truth.

Yeah.

How old were you?

Should have been here by now.

What did he say?

I told you what he said.

I mean, did he give you

a time when he'd be here?

He said, "I'm on my way."

That's all he said.

What if it's a boy?

I don't know anything

about boys.

I'm a boy.

Where the f*** is he?

Sh*t.

The guy's here.

The guy's here from yesterday.

Come on. Come on.

What guy?

The guy with the gun.

Dmitri?

No, not Dmitri,

the Chinese guy.

My God.

Sh*t.

Do you see anything?

He's down there.

I can see him in the mirror.

How did he find us?

I don't know.

But the Treo's on.

What is he doing?

He's got his phone open.

We're safe here.

Doesn't feel safe.

This was our plan.

I know,

but it's a stupid plan.

F***, he's coming up

the stairs.

Get in the elevator.

Go, go.

F***.

Bobby, turn it off!

I am, I am, I am.

Turn it off!

I am.

Sh*t.

Give me your purse.

Take it!

Just go!

Sorry!

Sorry.

Excuse us!

In here!

In here, in here.

Go, go!

Get back there!

Okay.

Bobby, is he there?

Bobby.

Look at me.

I don't think

I can run anymore.

Yes, you can.

No, I don't think I can.

The door's locked.

The door's locked, okay?

Come on.

Come on!

Okay.

You're okay.

Bobby, I can't.

You're okay.

Come on, okay?

We have to find a way down.

Okay, okay.

F***!

Come on.

Okay.

I got you.

Come on.

Sh*t! Go!

Go, go, go!

Crap!

Come on!

Bobby, I can't.

Got you.

In there! In there!

Bobby, the lock!

Is it locked?

Let's go.

Okay.

God.

Which way, Bobby?

The... south.

Do you see him?

No.

The bridge.

F***!

Wait.

Wait.

This is f***ing crazy.

I know.

I almost told my mother

last night.

And then you came

to your senses, right?

Well, I mean,

I told my sister.

Yeah, I know you did.

But I-I know that my mother

wouldn't understand

that it's a decision, you know?

I mean...

The fact that

not wanting to have a baby

was my first instinct,

one I thought that I'd--

we'd absolutely act upon,
