MASKED CHILD EL SANTO Now, you are one of us. I shall expect a payment for the metric ton within the week. TERESA My life is on the line with El Santo, not yours or Camila. POSTAK Look what we have here. ALONZO Camila Vargas, you're under arrest. POTE POTE You walk out of here, never come back. PEDRO Princessa's dad is gonna kick me to the curb like basura. KIQUE PEDRO EPIFANIO Apparently your sicarios in Dallas tried to take Camila's life. CAMILA The priority is to assure our associates everything is well. DEVON Give me one good reason I shouldn't back out of this right now. TERESA It's an opportunity for both of us to expand our business. Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale. DEVON You got a street gang. LIL T Lil T. TERESA Teresa Mendoza. KELLY ANNE These are the ownership documents filed for Camila's trawler company. TERESA I never signed these papers. DENNY She puts up a fight. CAMILA Then kill her. MAN TERESA In the morning, I gotta go back to Dallas and take what's rightfully mine. OTHER MASKED CHILDREN Teresa Mendoza. Teresa Mendoza. Teresa Mendoza. EL SANTO TERESA I've brought the two of you together for a reason. Thank you for allowing us to meet here. KING GEORGE Ya know, I heard legends about you for years. Kid burst up outta nowhere like a goddam Roman Candle. Carvin' out an empire with nothin' but his big-sized-brain and certain amount of elegant violence. DEVON I'll admit, I was curious to meet you as well. You disappeared a competitor of mine out of South Africa a few years ago, as I came to deliver a bit of "elegant violence." I'd love to hear how you did that, after Miss Mendoza tell us what's on her mind. TERESA I'm leaving Camila. Starting off on my own. I would like to keep working with you both. KING GEORGE She ain't exactly one for flowery speeches, huh? DEVON No, she's not. TERESA Nothing has to change. The deal remains the same. KING GEORGE Big britches yer tryin' to fill, girl. There ain't no trial run on this. TERESA I know the risks. DEVON But do you know the consequences? If you do succeed, you will be responsible for far more than just your own life. The burdens of leadership are not small. TERESA I understand that. and understand that business up to this point has been unstable. Profits will continue, but the drama will end. KING GEORGE What's yer POV on this, Chewy? POTE Everyone has a right to the throne. If they can take it. DEVON Fortunately for you, the appetite for your Bolivian connection seems unquenchable. As long as you have El Santo's product, you have me. TERESA I have it. The deal remains the same I'll sell to you, and no one else. DEVON You'll receive details for the pickup and delivery tomorrow. TERESA Thank you. KING GEORGE I can feel yer eyeballs on me. TERESA You haven't given me your answer. KING GEORGE It ain't what yer lookin' to hear, baby girl. I'mma have ta think on it. I took heavy losses when that Jimenez fellow disrupted our shipment. Thinkin' maybe smugglin' guns and ganja might just be enough fer lil' ol' me. TERESA You know the profit on guns. KING GEORGE Don't you try to math me! That gun goes for fifty 'K,' right there. And that's just one. You think this is about money, girl? TERESA I'm truly sorry for your loss. KING GEORGE Me too. And I'd like to keep the rest of my boys fat an' happy an' a whole lot less dead. POTE You're making promises that you cannot back up to dangerous men, Teresita. That's how you get killed. TERESA If I don't pay El Santo, I'm dead. POTE Camila has the cash and the coke. You've got nothing. TERESA That's why we need to get it. POTE Camila's facing Federal charges. They're gonna have to move the coke out of the country as soon as possible. TERESA Then we must steal it back before they do. POTE Whoa. You want to rob Camila Vargas? TERESA I need that product. Not only to pay El Santo. That means freedom. POTE It's only you and me. We don't have the muscle to go up against James or Camila's men. TERESA That's why we can't do it alone. CAMILA Teresa was a stray mutt when I met her. I brought her into our family, let her sleep under my roof... JAMES Well, what did you expect after she calls the D.E.A. to "save" you. Once someone's in bed with the Feds, you can't ever trust them. CAMILA You tried to warn me. I should've listened... I opened my arms to that girl and she spit in my face. Let her die in the cold with the other dogs. JAMES Sometimes dogs try and return home, even after the door is closed. CAMILA Well, then make sure there's no food in the house. Do you understand? And James... They're transferring me tonight to a maximum security facility. I heard it's gonna be a beautiful evening. I wanna see the sky. LIL T That's my uncle. He's our leader. Took a twenty-two three times in the back, point blank. Pow, pow, pow! My uncle took that puto out with his bare hands, crawlin' like a pinche salamander and shit. He ain't nothing to fuck with. That dude over there, eye-ballin' us, that's Chucho. That's my uncle's number two. BIG T Hold! Who the hell are you? You ain't welcome here. TERESA You said you spoke with him. LIL T Figured it was better in person. Tio, this is Teresa- BIG T Yo. I'm not talking to you. TERESA I'm here to talk about business. CHUCHO Wrong place, wrong time, esa. TERESA I heard you're a businessman. I'm looking for a partner. BIG T Go home, business lady. TERESA I'm not leaving here without talking to you and you're going to listen. BIG T What fuck did you say to me? You can either turn around and leave or die standing here. POTE LIL T Yo, what the hell are you stupid? Do you know who this is, fool? CHUCHO Yo, I don't give a fuck who this is. LIL T He's a Vargas sicario. TERESA I'm not here for a fight. I'm here to make a deal. My name is Teresa Mendoza, I think we can help each other. CHUCHO How come you ain't talkin' to Los Treintas? Last time I checked, you got those pussies runnin' for you. TERESA Los Treintas work for Epifanio. BIG T You workin' for Camila? TERESA I was. But I'm on my own now. She has something of mine. I need help taking it back. BIG T What? TERESA Cocaine. BIG T Going up against a cartel, that's serious shit. Whatchu offering? TERESA The Vargas and Jimenez Cartel consolidated In one Cartel. Your enemies are united. You're gonna need real firepower to protect your people. I'm have something you need. BIG T Guns? TERESA And product. Work with us and we'll arm your men for the fight you know is coming. Plus you get ten percent of the profit of the product you help us get back. BIG T We get the guns first? TERESA Yes. BIG T You got balls... And if this shit is true... then the enemy of my enemy is my homie, right? Some serious cash you're offering for a little muscle. TERESA I believe in a fair deal. BIG T All right. You get us the guns, we'll help you get your coke. EPIFANIO I told you, I don't want to hear any more about it, Isabela. ISABELA Papi, she needs our help. Please. EPIFANIO You may think you know your mother, Bela, but I know that woman better than you should ever hope to. You want her to bend. To change. But she's made out of the hardest steel, my love. We will break before she does, and I won't watch that happen to you. She's better right where she is. ISABELA You had me fooled, papi. You told me what you went through as a kid. I thought that kind of struggle makes someone's heart bigger. You're a small man. EPIFANIO How dare you talk to me like that! You've never struggled one day in your life. I saw to that! ISABELA You don't think I struggle? You don't think I'm in there with her? That she didn't leave me too? Are you that blind?! EPIFANIO Isabela. ISABELA Don't. I'm staying with Olivia at her family's ranch. And I'm not coming home until Mom does, too. EPIFANIO Well, enjoy your stay! Like mother like daughter! Spoiled and pigheaded! I gave you that beautiful life, Bela! And it can all be taken away! Just ask your mother! TERESA I need a lot of guns. And I need them fast. KING GEORGE Something tells me you're ain't taking up skeet shooting. TERESA It's business. KING GEORGE My daddy killed all these animals. Every single one. Even Timothy here. Now what kind of a man kills a goddamn beaver? TERESA I don't know. KING GEORGE Not a happy one. I'll tell you that much. He died sad, alone and empty. And rich as shit. TERESA I'm not doing this to get rich. KING GEORGE That's a story a lot of people tell themselves at first. How 'bout this I got an open slot on my crew. It's been a while since we had a squaw in our tribe. You could be my Pocahontas. Or maybe I'll be your Pocahontas. We could figure that out along the way. TERESA Thank you. But we both know I have to do this. KING GEORGE What's in it for you really? Is it revenge? Is that what you want? TERESA There's a better way of doing business than the way Camila does. And I know you believe that too. KING GEORGE I delivered a small arsenal to this backwards ass group of skinheads about a week ago. Dudes were sketchy as shit. Big plans. Little brains. Plus, they insulted Bilal. So fuck 'em. But don't you let one of those hillbillies kill you, girl. 'Cause, we got an empire to build. JAMES A friend will be giving you a gift. The moon is gonna be full tonight at eight tonight. CAMILA Eight p.m.? That's beautiful. I hope I get to see it. I'll be looking for a window. Talk soon. JAMES All right. Camila's our priority. We move at eight. All this product and cash can stay for now. But I want our best men to guard, twenty-four-seven. I'm gonna check everything's in position. TERESA The coke and cash from Devon's first payment is still in the warehouse, but security has doubled. Okay, we have some time, now. We need to get to the location George gave me. James' men won't move the product without James there. POTE But we don't know how long he'll be gone. TERESA We have no choice. Once we get the guns to Big T, we'll have the muscle we need. POTE You're giving guns to thugs. That's a stupid decision, Teresita. Trust needs to be earned. TERESA I didn't have to trust you, but I did. And if you hadn't sent Guero away, we would have someone better helping us. You thought I didn't know? Guero and I were planning to escape. Then you talked to him. POTE He needed to go. TERESA That wasn't your decision to make. POTE I was trying to keep you safe! TERESA If I don't do this, El Santo will kill me. POTE You should've known better than to make a deal with a psychopath. TERESA Would you question Camila like this? POTE You’re no Camila. TERESA Look, if you're not going to help me, please leave. I'll take care of myself. Like I did when Gato raped me and you stood there watching. GAS STATION MANAGER Y'all got I.D.? Heard it on the C.B. that a plane landed in Old Man Cassidy's airfield 'bout an hour back. An' that looks a hell of a lot like Cassidy's old Ford truck. Reckon what I got here's just a couple theiven' border jumpers. LITTLE ANGEL Please, Sir. We need gas to get to Dallas. GAS STATION MANAGER Uh-uh, amigo. You touch that nozzle, and I'm gonna have to consider it an act of terror. LITTLE ANGEL GAS STATION MANAGER What the hell? TERESA The guns are in a storage area. They think no one knows their location. They won't be guarded. We can go in and out quick. LIL T What? Are you making this up as you go? You told my uncle you already had this shit. And why am I gonna do you any favors? TERESA Your uncle underestimates you. You're smart. And I need your help. As my business grows, you can grow with it. LIL T Whatchu need from me? TERESA Men. LIL T There they are. TERESA I said men, not kids. LIL T They ain't much to look at, but they're hungry to get in this game. TERESA Okay. So, you're with me? LIL T I got you. Maybe now Big T and Chucho'll see I got bigger balls than both of them pendejos. MARSHAL Vargas. You're being transferred. Let's go. CAMILA MARSHAL Vargas is convulsing, having some kind of seizure! CAMILA MARSHAL Help me get her down. Vargas. I need you to breathe. Vargas is unresponsive. We need to get to a hospital now! MASKED MAN JAMES Yeah? CHARGER They got Camila! JAMES Who? Who got her? CHARGER I don't know. JAMES Who the fuck has Camila? OLIVIA Shame, shame, Bela. What would your Papi say? Bet you're happy we didn't go to my abuelita's dumbass ranch now. ISABELA Where's my phone? KIQUE Find it and let's make a video. ISABELA Ew. ISABELA You are the son of Boaz Jimenez. I knew you were too good to be true. KIQUE That's a low blow, right there, mi amour. You must take it back. I demand it. So I'm gonna have to torture you. ISABELA Seriously though, where's my phone? PEDRO Hey idiots, why would you leave your phones down there? KIQUE Are you stupid?! Pedro, what the hell is your problem, bro?! PEDRO What up, Cuz! ISABELA What are your cousins doing here? KIQUE They're not my cousins. They're from Pedro's mothers side of the family. ISABELA I want to go, now. PEDRO No one's going anywhere, Princesa. This party's just getting started! Let's put these pendejos somewhere for safe keeping. KIQUE PEDROS COUSIN TERESA The storage room where all the guns will be is back this way. We go in, we grab them, we go. Okay? LIL T You sure this is the right place? TERESA Yeah. I'm sure. There's the guns. Get those cases back to the car. Come on. LIL T I know that church. Assholes are gonna do some messed up shit around here. TERESA Come on, let's go. We don't have time. SKINHEAD 1 You guys picked the wrong place to rob. Now, put the cases down. Put the cases down! TERESA Do what he says. SKINHEAD 1 Listen to your mom. Get in there and see what kind of mess these guys made, then call Gary and get the boys over here. We're gonna have ourselves a little fun. TERESA Come on, get out of here! Go! Come on, let's go before more show up. Come on. LIL T Here's a little piece of Mexico to remember us by, puto. See you in church. SKINHEAD 1 JAMES Armed men masks. There must be something more. CHARGER James, I told you, man, that's all I saw. JAMES Someone grabbed Camila when you had eyes on her. You got her those pills so we could grab her at the hospital. Instead you lost her. Is that what you're telling me? CHARGER I mean. Camila has a lot of enemies, right? JAMES Put word out in Culiacán. You find out if Boaz did this. If he did, it's war. If not it's war with someone else. CHARGER And how about the cash and the coke? JAMES We move now. But you follow my instructions exactly like I tell you. CHARGER Yes sir. JAMES Get this loaded. CHARGER Let's get these loaded up. CHUCHO Okay. I got you. The guns look good. Big T approves the deal. When you're ready to make a move, we're all good. Lil T's been braggin' nonstop how you two assaulted some nazi pendejos. Her uncle's gonna be hard pressed trying to keep her outta that shit in the future. TERESA She's smart. I needed help. CHUCHO Just know that shit's on your head. Kid is eager, but she ain't hard yet. A boss is only as strong as his weakest soldier. Unless you got a badass number two. Like me. So what's up? You got a man, Mendoza? TERESA That's none of your business. CHUCHO It could be. TERESA Have your men ready. Once they move the product, we go. Keep watch. TERESA Hey, Pote. It's me. Can you please call me back? I know you're angry, but I really need your help. Bye. That was fast. GUERO Hey beautiful. Don't hang up. TERESA Where have you been? GUERO Pote told me you're in trouble. Listen, babe, you don't wanna be doing this. TERESA I have no choice I'm trying to survive. GUERO Teresa, come on. TERESA Where are you? GUERO I'm taking care of that business I told you about in Culiacán. TERESA If Epifanio finds you in Mexico, he's gonna kill you. GUERO Yeah, well it's Epifanio that needs to worry about me, not the other way around. TERESA What are you talking about? GUERO Look, I'm almost finished with what I'm doing down here. When I'm done, I'm heading back to Dallas to get you. All right? Soon, just like I promised you. You hear me? Just I need you to stay safe. LIL T Hey, Hugo! I heard you guys wanted some guns, Lil T provides. Huh? GUERO Just, stay out of trouble till I get there. Can you promise me that? CHUCHO Hey, they're moving. TERESA I can't. Let me see. CHUCHO But we don't know which car has the product or the cash. TERESA Follow all three. Let's go. BIG T Vamos! CHUCHO Let's go. Let's go. Pack that shit up. TERESA Chucho. Where are you? CHUCHO I'm behind the third S.U.V. I think I've been spotted. TERESA Good. Those trucks were to distract us. James has the product, not them. He knew I'd be watching the warehouse. His first move was a decoy. Okay, bye. JAMES What do you want, Teresa? TERESA Half of the product from El Santo, and half of the money Devon gave you. JAMES You gave up claim to anything when you went after Camila. TERESA She gave me no choice. JAMES You could've walked away. I gave you that chance. TERESA I'm gonna ask you one more time. Give me my half. JAMES The only thing you'll get from me is a bullet. Trust me. BIG T Seems like he's trying to make this shit personal. TERESA It is personal. BIG T He's pulling into a train yard. TERESA It's smart. The D.E.A. is watching the roads and the airports. Here, there's only one guard to pay off. They think they lost us. They're not expecting an attack. We go now. TERESA Now. MAN Hey! What's that? JAMES Don't pick it up! CHUCHO Let's go. Come on, let's go. CHUCHO We're blind out here. They're killing us. TERESA We need you now. Put your high beams on, point at them. Go! JAMES Where is she? TERESA Who? JAMES Don't you play games with me. Where is she? TERESA Camila? JAMES She trusted you. I trusted you. TERESA Is that why you put a tracking device on Tony's toy? Because of the trust? JAMES Where is Camila? TERESA If I had her I would've traded her. JAMES You killed her. TERESA She betrayed me, but I don't want her dead. I have an offer to make. JAMES We're past that, now, don't you think? TERESA I have El Santo, Devon, and King George. Come work with us. I don't want to fight against you. Let's fight together. JAMES Just yesterday you were throwing up bags of coke in an airport sink and now you want me to work for you? TERESA There's a better way of doing this than the way she does. Without all this killing. That's not who you are. JAMES Whatever idea you've made up in your head about me- you're wrong. You can't save me, Teresa. You can't save any of us. TERESA We can do it a different way-- where none of us has to die. POTE Teresa! Whoa. TERESA I have to go after him. POTE They'll go after him. TERESA You followed me. POTE I wish I could say it was harder. TERESA What about James and his men? POTE They're gone. You won. The coke is yours. Let's go. ISABELA Why isn't Pedro letting us leave? It's been hours. We can't just sit here and wait until they decide whether or not they're going to kill us. OLIVIA Kill us? I didn't do anything! KIQUE I think he's leaving. Isabela, Olivia, we have to go. OLIVIA No way! If they catch you, they'll kill us. KIQUE Olivia, look out the window. Come on. OLIVIA Bela, don't. KIQUE Come on, come on! OLIVIA They're escaping! KIQUE No, no, no. ISABELA Come on! KIQUE ISABELA No! Stop it! No! KIQUE Leave me alone. PEDRO Ahh. You in love with this pretty boy, Princesa? ISABELA No! No! You're a monster. PEDRO I'm a monster? This pendejo's dad killed my dad. Took everything from us. Stole my father, stole my life. Stole all of our lives! KIQUE You're a liar. PEDRO You let your father cut me off. I'll never forgive you for that. Now me and my family are going to receive five million dollars, or I'm going to cut both your throats. KIQUE My know my dad won't pay a dime for me, Pedro! PEDRO Who said anything about Boaz paying? Epifanio gave the order. But maybe money isn't quite sweet enough revenge. KIQUE No, no cabron. Don't touch her! Pedro... We're family. We grew up together. Please! OLIVIA Pedro you only want them. Can I please just go? KIQUE This isn't you, man. Please, Pedro. ISABELA Olivia! No! No! CHUCHO The product is all here, but we couldn't find any money anywhere. POTE James must've stashed it somewhere else. TERESA It's okay. Just get this to the drop off on time, everyone gets paid. CHUCHO POTE I told you. You're no Camila and I meant it. You're better. You've got a heart. PEDRO You got something to say, Princesa? ISABELA You stupid, pathetic, wannabe gangster. You think my father ruined your life? I hate him more than you can ever hope to. I'm not gonna ask him for five million. I'm going to ask him for ten. Kique and I get two and you and your cousins get eight and we go free. You want revenge; be a man and do it yourself. PEDRO You think you got leverage, bitch? I'll kill you right now. ISABELA Then you don’t get nothing. Put me on tape. PEDRO You think I'm stupid? ISABELA My father won't pay you anything unless he sees me alive. Put me on tape, I'll get you your ten million and Kique and I go free. ANNOUNCER Breaking news from Dallas, federal authorities reporting that accused cartel leader, Camila Vargas, was apparently broken out of custody while en route to a high security facility last night. For more on this story we turn to. CAMILA I thought you sent Cortez to do your dirty work and here you are. Face to face in the end. Just like the man I always knew you were. EPIFANIO I didn't break you out of prison to hurt you, Camila. You daughter begged for your life. I wanted to bring you home to her, but now I have some, uh, terrible news. CAMILA Isabela? EPIFANIO She told me she was going to leave this family house. A few hours ago I received this video. ISABELA Mami, Papi, I'm in trouble. I've been kidnapped. I haven't been this scared since I turned eight. CAMILA We have to find her. EPIFANIO If we attack, they'll kill her. CAMILA They will pay for this. TERESA Devon will pay 27 million for the other 900 kilos. What way we can pay back El Santo and live another day. POTE And you wanna trust the delivery to a bunch of street thugs? TERESA We have no choice. He uses separate locations for product delivery and money drop. I need to be on the money side. You could've gone to keep an eye on our product. POTE You have too many enemies tonight. Where you go, I go. TERESA Thank you. POTE TERESA El Santo found me. I'm late with his payment. No weapons. I'm one of them, remember? MASKED CHILD
