Huh... Vivian just told me

Um...
I would... highly recommend
the 87 "Castle Chateau".
- It's a beautiful Bordeaux.
- Hm...

What's the matter?
Exuse yourself...

- You Sure?
Going out for a quick
cigarette, alright?
Okay.
That was great suggestion,
that "Chateau Castle.
It's one of my favorite.
Yeah, what other kind
would you recommend?
That'd be depending
on the meal.
Well, if that's okay to figure
that out, tonight over dinner?
I don't socialise
with customers.
This is where my father
and that fucking slut burned.
How the fire start?
The cops said they left
the gas on and it exploded.
So, it was an accident?
Yeah...
That's what the Sheriff said.
So, he was fucking

Their bodies still stuck
togather because of the fire?
I had use a knife
to cut them appart.
And who was the bitch?
Some weird woman,

Fuck you.
Hi, mama, aunt, Rebecca...
Did you fight with Cristobal?
No.
Because, I don't wanna hear
anyone fighting.
Now more than ever.
Okay.
That's my dad's whiskey.
Is it?
When the hell is he
gonna drink it?
Santiago?
- Excuse me, father.
- Cristobal.
Your mom ain't going
to the funeral.
Neither Rebecca and me
ain't going either.
This son of bitch doesn't
deserve this funaral today, damn.
Take care of everything,
the both of you.

and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

When I first met your dad,
your mom already was gone.

why she left.

I think about you
all the time.
Especially on your birthdays.
Try to imagine
what you look like.
You're so beautiful.
You know, you look
just like your father.
My dad's in hospital.
Why?
His plane crashed.
Is he okay?
I don't know.
He's a pilot.
He's a crop duster.
You don't know?
Is everything okay?
Your dad would like her to come
to Mexico, we could take with us.
You think she'll come?
Dear Lord, take care of us
and everyone else. Amen.
Okay... now bed.
Have you said your prayers?
I don't pray anymore.
That's wrong, Mariana.
Lotsa things are wrong, mom,
which can't be fixed by praying.
You've been acting
so strange lately.
Tomorrow I want you to tell me
what's on your mind.
Good night, sweety.
Good night, mom.
Good night.
That girl who brought home
the other day...
is her daughter?
Yes, sir.
Are you fucking her?
Why you doing this?
It's none of your business.
You can't be doing
this shit to your mom.
Stay outta this.
It's not enough
what already happened?
It got nothing
to do with this.
You gotta stop seeing her.
You understand?
Do you... understand?
You enjoy betraying your family?
I'm talking to you,
you son of bitch!
- I'm not betraying anyone.
- You're worse than your father.
You get to bring her home?
You're gonna be burned
in hell with him.
I'm sorry.
Get outta here!
What happened?
Tell me it isn't true.
Look at this.
Tell me this is a lie.
Did you actualy
sleep with him?
Santiago, my dad
is on his way to get you.
Go down, and come get me.
What grade are you in?
The eighth grade.
Do you have a boy-friend?
No.
Do you?
I don't have a boy-friend.
Jose Sanchez Martinez.
I wanna have the plastic
surgery and a new breast.
Don't do it...
I like how you look.
The scar is so ugly.
You beat death.
You fought and won.
That makes your scar beautiful.
Don't erase it.
Get up, mom...
Get up, mom... Get up, mom.
Get up!
Mom!
How's he doing, Doctor?
Can the girl stay and listen?
It's her dad.
There are some complications.
His leg is badly infected...
if the medicine wont help
to clear it up...
we'll have to operate
and amputate his leg.
Can we go see him?
You can go and see him,
but he's sedated.
Hi, daddy.
No, girl, not so close.
He's gonna be okay, right?
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
I... I love you, daddy.
Don't...
You can't stay here.
You have to go.
Let's go.
Maria, come on...
we have to leave, okay?
Come on.
Wait! Can I...
can I just stay
a little longer?
I don't know,
what she's saying.
It's his wife, she'd like
to stay a little longer.
Two minutes.
Santiago...
It's me...
Mariana.
You're not ready to die,
are you?
Because if you die, I wouldn't
know what to do with her, and...
I can barely look her
in the eyes.
She needs you.
And I need you.
I'm so scared.
I always was able to take care
of myself and now I can't...
I can't run away anymore.
I killed them.
I killed your father
and my mother.
I didn't mean to, but...
now I can't get...
away fom that smell...
from them burning,
I can't get rid of it.
Why did you wanted me
to come back here?
Why?
Why?
Mariana, where're you going?
- Mariana, stop!
- Let me go!
I will tell dad.
Tell 'em whatever you want.
Hey, Maria,
you can sleep in your room,
I'll sleep out here.
No, it's okay.
What happened?
Nothing,
I just burned myself once.
You know dad has the same scar
in the same place.
He said he did it
to never forget you.
So did I.
I have a scar too.
How that happened?
I fell when I was three.
Are you gonna stay with us?
I do not know,
I have to talk to him.
It's been a long time.
You're leaving then, aren't you?
I'm tired.
Good night.
Good night.

Especially on your birthdays.
Try to imagine

You're so beautiful.
You know, you look
just like your father.
My dad's in hospital.
Why?
His plane crashed.
Is he okay?
I don't know.
He's a pilot.
He's a crop duster.
You don't know?
Is everything okay?
Your dad would like her to come

You think she'll come?
Dear Lord, take care of us
and everyone else. Amen.
Okay... now bed.
Have you said your prayers?
I don't pray anymore.
That's wrong, Mariana.
Lotsa things are wrong, mom,

You've been acting

Tomorrow I want you to tell me
what's on your mind.
Good night, sweety.
Good night, mom.
Good night.
That girl who brought home
the other day...
is her daughter?
Yes, sir.
Are you fucking her?
Why you doing this?
It's none of your business.
You can't be doing
this shit to your mom.
Stay outta this.
It's not enough
what already happened?
It got nothing
to do with this.
You gotta stop seeing her.
You understand?
Do you... understand?
You enjoy betraying your family?
I'm talking to you,
you son of bitch!
- I'm not betraying anyone.
- You're worse than your father.
You get to bring her home?
You're gonna be burned
in hell with him.
I'm sorry.
Get outta here!
What happened?
Tell me it isn't true.
Look at this.
Tell me this is a lie.
Did you actualy
sleep with him?
Santiago, my dad
is on his way to get you.
Go down, and come get me.
What grade are you in?
The eighth grade.
Do you have a boy-friend?
No.
Do you?
I don't have a boy-friend.
Jose Sanchez Martinez.
I wanna have the plastic
surgery and a new breast.
Don't do it...
I like how you look.
The scar is so ugly.
You beat death.
You fought and won.
That makes your scar beautiful.
Don't erase it.
Get up, mom...
Get up, mom... Get up, mom.
Get up!
Mom!
How's he doing, Doctor?
Can the girl stay and listen?
It's her dad.
There are some complications.
His leg is badly infected...
if the medicine wont help
to clear it up...
we'll have to operate
and amputate his leg.
Can we go see him?
You can go and see him,
but he's sedated.
Hi, daddy.
No, girl, not so close.
He's gonna be okay, right?
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
I... I love you, daddy.
Don't...
You can't stay here.
You have to go.
Let's go.
Maria, come on...
we have to leave, okay?
Come on.
Wait! Can I...
can I just stay
a little longer?
I don't know,
what she's saying.
It's his wife, she'd like
to stay a little longer.
Two minutes.
Santiago...
It's me...
Mariana.
You're not ready to die,
are you?
Because if you die, I wouldn't
know what to do with her, and...
I can barely look her
in the eyes.
She needs you.
And I need you.
I'm so scared.
I always was able to take care
of myself and now I can't...
I can't run away anymore.
I killed them.
I killed your father
and my mother.
I didn't mean to, but...
now I can't get...
away fom that smell...
from them burning,
I can't get rid of it.
Why did you wanted me
to come back here?
Why?
Why?
Mariana, where're you going?
- Mariana, stop!
- Let me go!
I will tell dad.
Tell 'em whatever you want.
Hey, Maria,
you can sleep in your room,
I'll sleep out here.
No, it's okay.
What happened?
Nothing,
I just burned myself once.
You know dad has the same scar
in the same place.
He said he did it
to never forget you.
So did I.
I have a scar too.
How that happened?
I fell when I was three.
Are you gonna stay with us?
I do not know,
I have to talk to him.
It's been a long time.
You're leaving then, aren't you?
I'm tired.
Good night.
Good night.
Where are we?
That's Mexico.
What're we gonna do
over there?
Live in peace.
I'll never have peace again.
I'm pregnant.
What?
I'm pregnant
and I don't want it.
We can go to Mexico to live.
The three of us.
No, I can't.
I can't have it.
Can I talk to you a minute?
Maria...
You ever think you can
forgive me for not...
for not being here
all these years?
I left you because I was
scared that you be like me.
That you become just like me.
You think you can forgive me?
Please...
I'm going to go
see my dad now.
- Hello.
- Hello, Doctor.
How is he?
He's fine, we were able to drain
the infection, reset the bones...
- and put his leg in a cast.
- He's not losing his leg?
No, he's not losing his leg.
We'll keep him under observation,
for now everytng looks good.
Can I see him?
Yes, you can go and see him.
My dad's gonna be okay.
You like to come in?
