Crossfire (2023) Movie Script

[movie reel ticking]
VIOLA: So what are your
plans for the summer?
I'm going to Hawaii
with my boyfriend.
That's nice.
My old grandma...
She ruined everything.
Now my whole
savings are gone.
Alisha, I heard your dad
is all over TV
because he finally
rescued those Mexican girls
from the mafia.
So, now summer
in Tijuana?
You must be excited, right?
Yeah, um...
I don't know. I've...
I've always kept
my distance from him.
He keeps coming.
[speaking Spanish]
I would kill for a guy like that
to be my father.
- He's a hero.
- GIRL: That's true.
and he's super smoky.
I even have my own plans
of going with her to Tijuana.
So, tell us, A.
Why are you really
going with your father?
You tell me!
I'm going with you.
GIRL: So, you both
are traveling together?
[giggling]
[indistinct
inflight announcement]
TV NEWSREADER:
Agent Mark Patson.
Yes, the name seems to be
familiar to most of us.
He's the same Agent Patson
who eliminated
the deadly Gorilla gang
and lost his wife
in the crossfire
with one of the last surviving
gang members.
It took his team some time to
track down the Mexican mafia
who trafficked
these girls across the border--
- Well, there he is!
- [applause]
Hey, hey, no!
Don't you even start.
Don't do it.
- Hi Agent Mark. Congrats.
- Hey, Sofia. Nice to see you.
Hey, Chris.
How you doing?
You have saved us
from a crisis, Mark.
The nation is proud.
The shot that you took
for such a long distance
and without any light proved
your perfect skills.
I'm proud to work
under you, Agent Mark.
Well, don't be too proud of me.
Be proud of Tijuana police.
They took the shot.
This is much
interesting to see
than the Gorilla gang
takedown in San Diego.
Good memory for that.
Thanks, Sofia.
You're too kind.
Okay, look.
I appreciate it,
but just get back to what
you all were doing, okay?
- Sir?
- Mm?
Can I have a
quiet word, please?
JOHN: Sure.
Tijuana police.
Bravo!
Hey, Ivan.
Thanks for
the support, okay?
And then again, honestly,
I just wanna say
I appreciate the support
over the years.
I mean that.
So, what
can I do for you, Mark?
What is this?
Is this is a joke?
Come on, Mark. Why now?
Look, I would suggest
that this is not the right time
for early retirement.
With all due respect sir,
I think I've made my decision.
Look, I've been planning this
since Catherine
passed away, John.
Since Alisha
walked out of my life.
Kind of why I
took this particular job.
And I understand, okay? I do.
I'll tell you what;
why don't you take the night
and think about it?
Okay?
You know what?
I realized something
when we reunited
that family
with those little girls.
And, uh, I realized
I'm a horrible father.
I realized I've never
been there for Alisha.
I mean, she blames me
for Catherine's death, John.
So, you see,
I've got this little...
This little window
of opportunity
to do something right.
Before her hatred washes me
completely from her heart.
And I'm not gonna let
that happen. I'm not.
Hm...
So, what are
your plans for summer now?
Thank you, sir.
[metallic clinking]
Hey.
Okay, who are you
and what are you doing here?
[speaking Spanish]
MARK: What are you doing--
What are you doing here, buddy?
[speaking Spanish]
MARK: Put your hands
on your head.
Put your hands on your head!
God, Mark!
It's the plumber I brought
to fix the drain, remember?
MARK: Oh, Jesus, Miriam.
I'm sorry.
[plumber speaking Spanish]
Okay, I don't care.
Wait a minute.
Tell him I wanna
see his passport. Your ID!
It's all okay.
[speaking Spanish]
He's all good, Mark.
Trust me.
You know me, hon.
- I'm sorry, okay?
-[speaking Spanish]
- MARK: I'm sorry. I forgot.
- MIRIAM: That's okay.
Pardon, senor.
No problem.
- He speaks perfect English.
- It's okay.
Is it me or did he sound
like he was from Malibu?
What can I get you?
Do you want a coffee?
You're adorable.
Hi.
[chuckling]
You haven't changed
that much at all.
I didn't expect
to see you here.
I was planning
to catch a cab.
Well, I'm here.
And of course
I'm gonna be here, Alisha.
You're still my daughter
after all, right?
Let's be very clear on this.
I buried all of the memories
I have with you
the day that
I lost my mom.
I'm just here
for my summer vacation.
So let's just stay
out of each other's way
and you can carry
on with your life.
And you let
me do my own thing.
[phone dinging]
[phone notification honking]
[phone notification honking]
You're sure
you're not coming?
It's gonna be so much fun!
Please, please, please!
I'm good.
I'm gonna stay here.
Okay, study for me.
[giggling]
I'll take
a shot for you.
Take four shots.
Everybody take shots.
Okay, let's go. Bye!
- Come on, girls!
- Bye! Have a great night!
Bye.
You too!
Be safe.
VIOLA: And sober! Love you!
- Sober.
- [laughter echoing]
Do you feel like
stopping for some food?
ALISHA: No.
Well, there's
no food at the house.
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna stop and get us
a little something, okay?
- Hey, man!
- Hey!
- MARK: That's for me, right?
- MAN: Yeah.
Oh, you guys are fast!
Okay, that's great. Okay.
Do me a favor.
Just give me a...
one latte to go and no sugar.
Okay, boss?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
[yelling]
- Hey!
- Hey!
What are you doing?
This is my friend, Viola!
Oh, geez!
I'm sorry, Alisha!
I... I'm sorry, I...
It's okay.
No need to apologize. I'm fine.
I appreciate
your kindness.
Hey, so I'll see
you after my trip?
It was really nice
meeting you, agent Mark.
I appreciate you.
And good luck
with Stephen.
- Bye!
- See you.
So, who's Stephen?
Don't worry about it.
I worry about everything.
You know that, right?
Is that what I know?
[ding]

[ding]
Come on in.
Okay, come on in.
Come on.
This is it.
Built it about
five or six years ago
with a real good friend of mine.
Every stone, the wood.
As I said, there's a story
for everything in this place.
I won't bore you for now.
Plumbing,
we got a little problem,
but you've got hot water,
so that's a good thing, eh?
Your room
is up top there on the left.
Uh, this is it.
What can I say?
Make yourself at home.
- Great.
- Okay?
Let me help you up with the bag.
I got it. No worries here.
Okay.
Right up to the left.
That's you.
ALISHA: Right.
Okay, anything
you need just let me know.
God damnit.
Give me the mayonnaise, man.
No.
- Dad.
- Mm-hmm?
You know that you're the talk
of the town, right?
Like, all my school
is talking about
the Gorilla gang takedown...
Alisha. Time for school.
And you do know that this is
putting our family at risk?
We're not safe because of you.
And you being
in your limelight.
Like, do you think
about our family at all
when you're out there
saving whoever you're saving?
CATHERINE:
That's enough, Alisha!
- Of course I do.
- Do you think about us?
CATHERINE: Okay, Alisha,
that's enough.
You're gonna be late.
Alisha.
Come on, just give me a second.
It's not that simple.
See you sweetie.
I love you, dear.
I don't know but...
I...
She's right. At the end
of the day, she's right.
- No, no, no, no.
-MARK: No, she's right.
[speaking Spanish]
Oh, man.
You guys are my family.
Maybe she'll see
that one day, but that's it.
You guys are everything to me.
CATHERINE: I know.
Why don't we go to the bank?
Sure, okay.
- Okay?
- MARK: You got it.
Five minutes?
Okay, let's go.
- To the bank.
- Maybe stop for something
to eat on the way back?
Get some food? Something?
- CATHERINE: Okay.
- Okay? Okay.
MARK: Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna
go quickly to the bank.
- Gonna get us some money, baby?
- Yeah.
- Yeah? A lot of money?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
- I'll be back.
I'll be here.
[gunshots echoing]
[doorbell buzzing]
Hey, Miriam! Come on in!
Hey, Mark!
Brought you and
Alisha some food tonight.
Ah, thank you.
How kind of you.
Save me some cooking time
'cause you know
how bad I am at cooking.
- No!
- Thanks, sweetheart.
- Yeah.
- I'll tell you what.
Do you have a minute?
She's in her room.
Think maybe it's a good time
we introduce you to her.
- What do you think?
- I'd love to meet her.
- I'd love that too. Come on.
- All right.
[knocking]
Yup?
Hey.
So, uh... Hey, look.
Sorry to disturb you.
I just wanted to introduce you
to an old friend of mine, okay?
One of my dearest friends.
Her name is Miriam.
She lives next door.
She's the one who's been
watching over me
and the house for years.
I just wanted you to say hello.
Hey.
I think we had a deal
that we weren't going
to bother each other.
So, please,
enjoy the day with your friend.
All right.
Hey, Mark.
You know, I left
the hot plate on, hon.
Just go and check on that.
Let her rest.
- All right?
- Okay.
It's a pleasure
to meet you, hon.
Nice to meet you.
[punches thudding]
Off of me!
Hi! Hi, sir!
So, I... Somebody stole
my wallet, basically.
And I need to get home.
But I don't have any
money to give you now.
[speaking Spanish]
Okay, I'll give you the money
when I get home.
[speaking Spanish]
It's not that far.
We can just
go there and I'll...
I'll give you...
I have...
Hey, so...
I need a ride home.
Someone just stole my cell phone
and my wallet and my money.
But I can give you my
money when I get home.
- DRIVER: Sure.
- Okay, uh...
No, we're good.
No, you can go.
You can go!
I'll get the next one.
Sure, we're good.
No, we're good.
DRIVER: I'll drive you.
Just get in.
No.
- All right.
- DRIVER: Hey, hey!
- Alisha?
- Damn it.
Shh!
I'm your neighbor.
Brought you and your dad
food the other night.
What's the matter, baby?
Oh!
I'm sorry
about yesterday.
I know I
was rude before.
Don't worry about it.
Tell me what you
were doing out there.
Someone pickpocketed my wallet
and I had my cell phone in it.
I tried to call my dad,
but he keeps changing
his number.
And then no taxi
was gonna give me a ride home
without money, and...
Then you showed up.
I'm glad that I did.
Let's tell
your father...
No! Can we just stop
and keep this between us?
I don't wanna
involve him.
At least let
me help find--
Just have your dad
find your cell phone
and your wallet, okay?
That's all.
That's all we're gonna tell him.
Okay.
Hey, Mark!
Yes, I'm out
with Alisha, baby.
We went shopping.
Oh, yes, yes.
While we were shopping
she misplaced her
cell phone and wallet.
Can you
find it, please?
Perfect.
We'll be home soon.
See? It's okay.
Alisha, baby,
it looks great.
I hope you like it.
I know we will.
I know your dad will too.
Thank you for today.
No. I'm just glad
I was there for you, baby.
MARK: Hey, guys.
- So...
- MIRIAM: That was quick.
Hey, what can I say?
I know a few people.
Some guy called Stephen has been
ringing for you, over and over.
Maybe you should call him back
and tell him you're okay.
Maybe I should
do that, definitely.
Thanks.
Miriam,
who's this Stephen guy?
I was gonna ask
you the same thing.
But I was gonna
ask you the same thing.
Mark, you...
Cheers, love. Thanks for dinner.
Who made this?
- MIRIAM: Your baby.
- She made it?
MIRIAM: She did.
STEPHEN: I cannot wait
to see you, babe.
See you soon.
See you soon.
What if I say
I have a boyfriend?
STEPHEN: But...
You don't, so... It's just us.
Us?
Seems like you've already made
my decision for me.
STEPHEN: Of course!
I'm confident.
So...?
What are your plans
for this summer?
I am making my
bucket list as we speak.
STEPHEN: I hope that you're
adding me to that list.
Maybe.
We just have to plan it.
Now, let's say
grace really quick.
I've got to watch
my favorite program, okay?
Please.
Dear Lord in Heaven,
bless this food
we're about to receive.
Bless everybody
in this house,
Please, bless some will forgive
others for all their craziness.
Amen.
Amen.
MIRIAM: Your baby made this.
You made this?
I made it, yeah.
- MARK: You can cook?
- I can.
You're not an eater,
but you can cook.
How does
that work, Miriam?
I mean, usually people
that like to cook like to eat.
I don't know.
Let's see what you got, kid.
Had to learn a thing
or two on my own.
MARK: I'm sure you did.
[phone ringing]
- Hi.
- STEPHEN: Hi, babe.
I couldn't stop thinking about
you since last time we talk.
ALISHA: Yeah.
It's been a long 30 minutes.
STEPHEN: Well,
for you it's been 30 minutes,
for me it feels like a year.
Time freezes.
STEPHEN: Oh, only when
I'm talking with you.
So, I was thinking...
What would you like
to do when we see each other?
[loud thudding and clattering]
Ah, Stephen. Let me call you
back in a second.
Dad.
[Mark grunting]
I'm okay.
It's not the first time.
Okay.
That's enough, Dad.
Okay.
MARK: You were right.
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault that...
Agent...
Good old Patson...
I can't
even find this...
shooter who killed my wife.
I am a complete failure.
I'm sorry.
I really, really...
I'm sorry.
[Mark sobbing]
ALISHA: You're gonna
go to sleep now.
[fly buzzing]
[electric buzzing]
Good morning, Miriam.
Oh, look who's up.
Yeah.
Hey, I appreciate
this, thanks.
Oh, it's not me.
Alisha did that and she took
care of you last night.
Yeah.
And where is she?
Oh, she just
went for a run, honey.
She'll be back soon.
Miriam, didn't I
tell you not to leave her alone?
That's the one thing I asked
you, not to leave her alone.
Mark, you didn't think
I was gonna go running with her,
did you?
Come on.
Oh, there she is.
MARK: Come say hello-- what...?
What?
MIRIAM: Baby girl, what
happened? Come over here.
Oh, my God.
What happened?
Mark, Mark.
Get me the first aid kit.
- Jesus!
- Mark, please.
It's alright.
No, it's not.
Hold it like this, baby.
- Okay.
- MIRIAM: Thank you.
Give me a look at this.
I wanna
know what happened.
Tell me--
I wanna know what happened!
Tell me what happened right now.
Please, tell us what happened.
I don't know. I was...
Running and...
There was this guy who
tried to hit me, so...
Do you remember
anything about the man?
The vehicle, any numbers,
any body features of the driver?
Come on, Mark.
She's not gonna
remember any of that.
A-L-A-15-0-1-A.
It was a man
with a black hood.
And a jacket.
Mid-forties.
Right-handed.
Never got that shit
from my dad's DNA.
Hey, Victor.
It's Mark.
Do me a favor.
Run a number on a plate for me.
ALA-15-0-1-A.
Yeah, you got it.
[overlapping greetings]
So, office
came back with word
that the fake plate
your daughter talked about
actually belongs
to a rookie
who does low-end
drug peddling.
He reported
it missing last week.
But it turns out
he's the one that stole
and put the fake plate on it.
On top of that, the night
before there's a robbery.
Same place, same location,
same vehicle.
Just merely
a coincidence.
I mean, we are on it, but...
I don't think it has
anything to do with your family.
MARK: Let's hope so.
Yeah.
We're on it, though,
so if you need anything,
just let me know.
Thanks for coming out, Victor.
- It's a pleasure.
- Okay.
- See you.
- All right.
Who's that?
That's Victor.
He works with your father.
I believe it's about the license
plate number you gave him.
You guys
ready to do some shooting?
Your dad also mentioned possibly
going to the shooting range.
Won't that be fun?
Maybe we can
hit the beach after.
Super cool.
Let's go kill
us something, babe.
[plumber and Mark
speaking Spanish]
Let me ask you a question.
What do they call you?
- Uh, Big Mike.
- Big Mike.
Okay, Big Mike,
here's the deal.
If that sink isn't fixed
by the time we're back,
I'm taking you to jail.
[gunshots echoing]
[Mark chuckling]
You're
getting there.
You're getting
there, Miriam.
Let's see what you've got.
I want you to
listen to something, okay?
The only person
in this life that you think
you can trust other than
yourself is me.
Because
I'm your father,
and I would never do anything
to hurt you, you understand?
MIRIAM: Damn it, Mark!
There's your fucking DNA again.
You know how I fought for
Fought for all of it lately
Feeling lonely is all I had
Nothing makes sense...
I'll get my strength
and build it back
I'll see you in my dreams,
asleep I'll find you
Hear you as I breathe
my life without you
My body is feeling numb,
by trying to find you
What I think of me is changing
as I breathe, oh
I will find my way
running back to the light, oh
I'll come through at once like
a switch to the light bulb
Everything I have
is here and now
I just have one life,
I'm here, it's now
I'm sure your light
will guide us
Shine like you did earlier
There's no way of going back
Own this life for now...
I'll get my strength
and build it back
- [tire popping]
- What?
- Dad?
- MARK: Jesus Christ!
- Brace yourselves!
ALISHA: Dad!
God! Shit!
[speaking Spanish]
Yeah.
[speaking Spanish]
NURSE: She'll be fine.
- MARK: Really?
- NURSE: Yes.
[speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[indistinct conversation]
Hey.
How's she doing?
We'll see.
I hope she's okay.
Look, uh...
They found a bunch
of needles in the wheel.
Tore it apart.
It's all we got.
- Thanks, Victor.
- Yeah.
This ain't
no coincidence.
You're right.
Hope she
gets better soon.
She'll be okay.
- Good. All right.
- I'll see you.
- Okay.
- Thanks, man.
[speaking Spanish]
SECURITY: Sir. Sir!
This area is restricted.
I'm sorry, you cannot enter.
Man, we don't need to do this.
Just come with me.
I miss...
My mom.
I haven't been
in a hospital since...
[mouth moving noiselessly]
I'll tell
you a little story
about when
I was in the hospital.
When I met your mother.
You might like it.
It's about
meeting your mom.
Back in '91.
I was special forces
during the Gulf War, and...
I got shot.
So they take me
to this medical clinic.
It's a military hospital.
And it was in tangent
with this cancer treatment
facility, right?
They're tending to my wound.
I look up, and there she is.
Tall.
Bald.
Proud and...
Beautiful.
She was telling the clerk how
she didn't have any money
to make her payments for the
next three or four treatments.
And how she wouldn't be alive
if she didn't
get the treatments.
I had a little
money back then so I, uh,
I took care of the payments.
She got her treatments.
Little did I know that...
at that time,
who knew that that woman,
that big, bald, beautiful woman
would end up becoming
my whole life.
Can I ask you something?
MARK: Sure.
Who's that person
in the photo,
with the distorted face.
You know.
The one you keep
with the newspaper cuttings
of mom's death.
I'm gonna check you out
and get you home.
Alisha, baby.
It's my family.
I miss them a lot.
You must be.
Yeah, but that's when
Mark came and...
And then he brought you.
Now the void is gone.
I feel like
I have a family again.
Oh, it's okay, baby.
But why are you
dressed like this?
My friend Viola
wants me to hang out with her
but I don't think...
Yeah, you're right.
Your father will not let you go.
Yeah, so
if you could...
[Miriam sighing]
Only if you promise
to take me to church tomorrow.
Done.
Fine, I'll cover for you.
Oh, these kids.
[car horn honking]
[speaking Spanish]
Should have been there by now.
Yeah, I know but...
What does it matter?
They're in the club already.
Like they're three guys.
My friends have been waiting
for me. I should be there.
Yeah, I don't care
about your friends.
RAUL: What, should I care
about your friend then?
Yeah.
It's the first time you
meet her. She's my best friend.
I really hope it's worth it.
- Yeah.
- I really do.
Yeah, here she comes.
[speaking Spanish]
- Hey, baby! How are you?
- Hey guys.
Meet the boy
of my life, Raul.
Raul, meet Alisha.
She's my best friend, okay?
We've gotta go.
We've gotta go.
Here we are.
This is the place.
You brought me
to see naked ladies?
Like, with your girlfriend?
It wasn't my first place.
VIOLA: Why would you do that?
Have you been
to places like this?
No.
This place's so good.
It's the best place
on the block.
Well, it's uh...
Let's have fun.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's get some shots. Shots?
Can you freshen
up this hookah for me?
Yeah, definitely.
VIOLA: Do you have a cigarette?
Yo! That's my boy.
- Hey, Joseph!
- Hey!
Give me two seconds.
Yeah.
Hey, do you have a cigarette?
So how are you feeling
about this place?
What?
You know I don't
like him for you, right?
He says he's changed.
Yeah. He says,
but apparently he hasn't.
He loves me.
I can handle him.
I can handle him, I swear.
It's okay, I'm okay.
We are here to party.
Get in the mood.
[overlapping conversation]
RAUL: Make some space.
Make some space.
Make some space. There!
Okay, here I got Joseph.
- Panchito, and Benja.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
Let's get some shots going.
[overlapping chatter]
Ah, well, well.
Let's get this party going.
[overlapping conversation]
No way, guys.
I don't do drugs.
JOSEPH: What do you mean
you don't do drugs?
It's okay, it's fine.
You're here with me.
Let's do this.
We're here together,
nothing is going to happen.
MAN: Don't worry, don't worry.
VIOLA: Trust me.
You're here with me.
Okay? Let's do this, eh?
[speaking Spanish]
That's some
good stuff boys!
[boys speaking Spanish]
[cheering]
Come on, come on.
Try, try.
[chanting in Spanish]
Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go!
[cheering]
RAUL: Hey! Get some more shots?
Come on!
Babe, come on, let's get
some more shots.
[overlapping conversation
in Spanish]
Hey. Where were you?
- I was--
- I was in the bathroom.
- Where is Viola?
- Ah, don't worry about it.
- Come on. Give me a kiss.
- Stop.
I said stop.
[speaking Spanish]
MAN: What the fuck?
Oh, my God!
Who the fuck are you?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
MARK: It's okay. Let's go.
- It's okay
-VIOLA: I'm sorry.
Hey...
I'm sorry.
What would've
happened if your dad
wouldn't have gotten there
on time?
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Okay, the car is here.
I have to go.
Are you gonna see me tomorrow?
Are we gonna see each other?
Yes, we're gonna see each other
tomorrow. Every day.
Every day, yes.
Okay, thank you
so much for being there.
I love you.
Okay? I'll see
you tomorrow, okay? Thanks.
I'm so sorry.
It was not her fault.
It was all mine.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I did a lot worse
when I was your age.
Okay? Just don't it again.
Okay? You're a good kid.
And I like you being
her best friend.
You're good for each other.
You get that, right?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Now, if there's
anything you need,
you let me know.
All right?
And I'm never drinking again.
Me too.
Okay. Look after her.
See you.
Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.
Where are you guys going?
Miriam, do you
have a minute, please?
I wanna talk to
you guys about something.
Yes, of course, Mark.
But now I need
to speak to God.
Talk to God, okay.
Can he wait five minutes, maybe?
- What do you think?
- Oh, honey, you know me.
I don't let God wait.
Take me to
church, Alisha.
Yeah. After, you know...
I lost my family,
and your dad...
He came in for me.
Became my family.
Took care
of everything.
[speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
Who was that?
Oh, her son
had a terrible accident.
She couldn't pay for it.
Your father,
he took care of everything.
And now her son is
going to the nationals.
Isn't that great?
I think we
should head home.
Ah, okay. First, let
me stop at the office.
You have an office?
Of course
I have an office.
Let's go.
This is Alisha.
Alisha, this is Juana.
She takes care of the place.
[speaking Spanish]
Okay, okay.
I'll take care of that.
I'll have to take
a phone call, hon.
You just go ahead
and look around.
Juana will take
care of you, okay?
[indistinct conversation]
So how did you become
involved in this place?
This organization?
It was handed
down to my husband.
And...
My husband put his blood, sweat,
and tears into this place.
But after his passing,
it all went down.
Your father
came in, financed us...
He's the most
noble man that I know.
That's why, Alisha baby,
you know deep down in your heart
he's not to blame
for any of this.
Well, well, well.
Look who has an appetite.
I'm going to the store.
You need anything?
No, I don't think so.
Okay.
Enjoy your sandwich.
Expecting something?
No.
It's got your name on it.
See you.
Expecting something?
ALISHA: No.
MARK: It's got your name on it.
Hey.
My keys...
Where are my keys?
Did I leave my keys somewhere?
No, you took your keys with you.
- MARK: Are you sure?
- I saw you do it.
[speaking Spanish]
I got the keys, right?
Yeah, I got the keys. Okay.
- How you doing, Mark?
- Hey, John.
Hey, Victor.
Thanks for coming, guys.
I want you
guys to check this out.
What's this?
Look, I don't
see anything unusual.
Same thing as last time.
Right, look. Okay, I get that.
You remember the guy
that ran Alisha off the road
in his car, right?
Okay, apparently this guy
was wearing a black hoodie.
Look, so what?
We already investigated this.
It's a false alarm.
Keep watching, John.
Okay, I made
a slight edit on the tape.
You see that?
This guy has been
circling our house, John.
At least
seven to ten times.
There's no
reports of him stopping nearby.
This is not a coincidence.
This guy is circling our house.
- You do understand?
- Yeah. Yeah, we get it.
We get it. You know what?
You may be onto something.
We're gonna look into it.
All right?
- I appreciate that.
-Don't worry. We got this.
Okay. You got it, John.
Thanks for coming again.
- Victor, thank you.
- Okay.
[phone ringing]
Hi.
STEPHEN: Hi, babe.
How you doing?
Guess where I'm at.
You're not close, are you?
STEPHEN: Well, I'll be outside
your door in five minutes.
No, Stephen.
I have to tell my dad something.
STEPHEN: Come on, I'll be there
in five minutes. Don't worry.
-[line disconnecting]
- No, I have to tell...
Oh, God.
- Dad?
- Hey, what's up?
- Well, Viola was--
-[phone ringing]
Hold that thought,
just one second.
What's up?
- Viola...
- Hold on!
Yeah, what is it?
VICTOR: Mark, you won't
believe this.
Check this out.
Jesus Christ
VICTOR: We actually expected
a drug peddler to show up.
But seeing the guest we have...
The hotel has been seized
and he's under our radar.
Do you want us to move in?
No. You wait for me.
I'll be right there.
Dad, well, I was
gonna tell you that...
I'm gonna
be right back, okay?
I'll be right back. Stay safe!
[siren blaring]
- Hey, Mark. How's it going?
- Hey, guys. What have we got?
So, the word is,
he's up on the sixth floor.
Room 623.
We've got him
under surveillance.
Doesn't know we're coming.
- We good?
- We're good.
We'll take the left stairs.
You guys take the right.
We'll surveil the place.
Let's make it happen, let's go.
Let's go!
Come here!
Come here!
[speaking Spanish]
Hey! Hey!
What the fuck?
What? What is this? Who are you?
[speaking Spanish]
If you don't
tell me what's going on,
I'm gonna put a bullet
in your head right now.
[speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
Come on, it's closed.
Open it.
You open it.
I waited like seven years.
You're gonna make me wait more?
This door doesn't open.
- Ah, really?
- You have to go to this one.
Okay.
I'm going.
Pick up, pick up, pick up.
[Miriam chuckling]
I hate this show.
I love you 'cause you're sexy.
But I hate this show.
Pick up, pick up, pick up.
Come on, baby, pick up.
Come on! Pick up!
Oh, you caca.
Oh, my effing phone.
It's fucking dead.
I'd better go
check on the family.
[knocking]
This walk is too far.
Just gonna have
to move in with them.
Miriam!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
He's behind you, Miriam!
Miriam, oh, Miriam!
[phone ringing]
Oh, my God...
- Dad!
- Baby? Baby?
Are you with me?
What's he doing?
What's he doing?
Can you see him?
Daddy... He's just...
He just...
He just
killed Miriam.
MARK: Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid, you'll be fine.
Okay? What's he doing right now?
Oh, my God!
He killed Stephen too!
He just killed him
right in front of me!
Oh, no.
It's not gonna hold, baby.
He's coming
in no matter what.
He's coming in. Make your way
up to my bedroom, okay?
Barricade the door.
Get some chairs.
Whatever you got.
Whatever is in there.
Just wait for me, baby.
I won't be long.
Just remember something.
Kill or be killed.
[thumping]
[gang leader chuckling]
You're fucked!
Shit!
Come here...
I'm gonna choke you out dead!
But not yet, you little cunt!
- Hey, hey.
- MARK: Listen to me
How you killed my family.
MARK: Listen to me,
if you hurt my daughter...
You know what?
I enjoyed killing your wife.
MARK: If you hurt my daughter,
I am gonna blow up--
Fuck yourself.
MARK:
You fucking hurt my daughter--
Hey. Listen up.
Listen. Listen...
MARK: I'm gonna fucking end you.
Fucking listen to me!
MARK: I am gonna end you!
Boy, shut the fuck up.
MARK: I am gonna fucking
destroy you.
Now listen to me kill
your little bitch fucking girl!
MARK: Do not--
[siren blaring]
I'm okay John.
What about Alisha?
Is she gonna be all right?
MARK: She's gonna be fine.
She's a tough girl.
Yeah. Well, she is your kid.
Look, it's gonna take
a ton of paperwork
- to get this mess cleaned up.
- Yeah.
So, um... in the meantime...
Go enjoy your summer.
Remember, if you need anything
just let me know, all right?
Good to see you as always.
So, this whole time
you had a plan.
What do you mean "had a plan"?
The training?
The martial art?
Setting everything up?
You know, to be honest,
I would've started training you
no matter what.
But yeah.
There was a plan.
Hey, love.
Damn it, Mark.
If you don't stop drinking
this shit it's gonna kill you.
Yeah.
You're right.
You know,
after all these years, Miriam,
chasing this guy,
and I make no progress.
I mean zero, nothing.
I just...
Mark.
Think about this.
You've gotta put
the bait out there.
Okay?
Once he takes the bait,
that's when you fucking pounce,
you get to kill him.
And you protect family.
That's what it's all about.
- Thanks Miriam.
-Yeah.
MARK: It wasn't all me.
You see, Miriam had a lot to do
with it as well.
But I've gotta
tell you something else.
What I started,
you finished pretty well.
I'm not sure what that was.
You were doing
some snake and crane.
What was that? Huh?
It's good to have you back.
I missed you, Dad.
I missed you too.
