Free Dead or Alive (2022) Movie Script

Here, condoms
and birth control.
I am sorry, please keep
that filth to yourself.
Please, perhaps
you should sit down.
There are some
things you don't know
about the journey north.
And please, you
need these, too.
My wife and daughter
don't need these.
Why don't you save
yourselves the trouble?
You don't tell
me and my family where to go.
I would listen to him.
Vile creature, don't listen.
No, no, let him speak,
they deserve to know.
Know what?
Know,
know that your wife
and your mijita
are gonna be raped.
And your son
will be murdered.
And the padre, the
father, the father,
husband, sole protector,
will die trying to defend them,
or die in shame, in the
guilt of your failure.
Hundreds and thousand
miles away from home.
Who are you supposed to be?
To some, I am the ugly truth.
To others I am Recelo.
But the real question is,
how much are you and your family
willing to pay to
get to America?
Perdon, perdon.
No.
No, please.
You took the line of credit,
knowing you could not
pay it back.
Now we take your wife
to settle the debt.
Machete!
Her.
Please. No.
Put her in your hands.
Please, a beautiful woman
like you should have everything
she wants in her life.
If you don't take my money,
I'm gonna put everything back.
What?
You think you're too good
to not accept my kindness?
Nothing in this store
is worth anything other
than my money.
Eva! Jesus,
Eva, I could have...
Look at you.
I've always told you, you
would thank me one day.
A knife is an extension
of a woman's power-
What have you done now?
I have some good news for you.
What?
You spent our rent money again?
You think rent money
can buy all of that?
Where'd it come from, then?
I know you didn't earn it.
What?
An old whore like me
ain't worth a life, huh?
Ma, I didn't say that.
Us women cannot
hide from the truth.
It always finds us.
Anyway,
it is what it is.
So, what is it this time?
I found you a husband,
raised in Puerto Rico.
A husband?
Yes, in fact, he's
gonna be here tonight.
So you might want
to get cleaned up.
Look, I even got
you a new dress.
Mama.
This is worse than what I
would expect even from you.
What, finding you
a wealthy husband
that can take you away from
all this filth is somehow bad?
Wealthy husband.
I've told you, I don't care-
- Yeah, I know you
don't care about money.
But Eva,
look, I got you the
best of both worlds.
This kid is handsome!
You know he says he's looking
for one-of-a-kind woman.
So, okay.
Just so there's no confusion
let's be clear about this,
You sold me to him.
Leave it to you.
Leave it to you
to find something
negative on everything.
Yeah, I got a little
something out for me, so what?
I don't deserve nice things?
Eva.
What are you waiting for?
I don't need you
to take care of me.
A strong, smart woman,
it's a rare thing.
You're finally met
with real opportunity,
and what do you do, huh?
You stand there with
your head in the clouds,
with a suitcase packed
ready to go nowhere.
It's my life!
It's not a thing to be sold
or traded for a new TV.
I know you,
you're just planning
to give it to some local farmer.
And you're sitting
on a goldmine,
right between your
skinny little legs.
Eva, you're not gonna
have to be hungry anymore.
All you have to do is
say yes to one man,
instead of waiting for a
man that doesn't exist.
Look, you're beautiful.
You are, oh, my God,
you're far more beautiful
than I ever was.
And I want what's best for you.
You know I was young
once, and I also searched
for my knight in shining armor,
and I was betrayed by your dad,
the one man,
the one man I thought
I could trust-
- Ay, Mama, I know,
my father, the war,
the ultimate proof that
no man can be trusted.
Look at me. So silly.
I shouldn't have.
Us women should not
waste our time with tears.
I'm not something to be sold.
I'm going to be free and alive
with a local goat
herder that I love,
or free and dead with
all the other things
you say never existed
to begin with.
How great you
could have been if
you were born somewhere
with opportunity.
I'll make my
own opportunities.
Of course you
will, but for now,
can you just do
your mama a favor?
Look, just meet with
this man tonight.
If he's not what you want
or what you feel
that you deserve,
then we'll just say no.
Yeah, we'll say no and we'll
give him back all his shit.
But I'm not
wearing that dress.
So what did you think?
I don't know, it
was an okay movie.
What do you want to do next?
Hungry?
No, I'm full from the popcorn.
Plus it's getting late and
I've been working all day.
We discussed the car, Miguel.
Ah, yes, I know, you
made it painfully clear
you're not getting in.
But to be honest, I don't know
why you wouldn't trust me.
Trust is earned.
That takes time.
Fair enough.
So let's take another
walk around the barrio.
No first date can be complete
without ice cream.
- Okay.
- Cool?
Yep, short walk
around the barrio.
So what's the secret?
For a man like me
to win your heart?
My heart's not
something to be won.
It's something I'll share
with the right man
at the right time.
Yes, that sounds like a dream
some American gringa might have.
Maybe so, at least I got one.
What's your dream?
My dad runs a cartel,
I will run a cartel.
No dream is necessary.
You don't want more out of
life, to blaze your own path?
What more is there than
being rich and powerful?
A lot more, like being happy.
Being free.
Yes, that's what
poor people say.
Wait 'til we are married.
Ouch.
Then you'll see true
happiness and freedom.
Oh, slow down, I
didn't say I would marry you.
I just met you, we-
- We what?
You don't want the
life I can give you?
You know, Eva,
I do like this whole diamond
in the rough routine,
but I think you might be
taking it a bit too far.
Routine?
You're beautiful, yes.
The question is, for how long?
In a place like this,
your mother's a whore.
I'm offering you a way out.
Come on, now you're
getting in my car.
You think you're
offering me a better life,
with you in a cartel?
You can get your little
trinkets tomorrow.
I'll see myself home.
Let's go, Miguel.
Run, Eva, run!
Run!
You know, you can
improve on the cooking.
Help me out here.
I'm trying to figure out,
why would the daughter
of a whore think
she can tell me no?
Hmm.
All that money and power,
and this is what you do
when you don't get your way?
I assure you, I
always get my way.
Take back everything,
you hear me?
We're not interested.
Now you listen to me.
We paid for a special
woman and drove
to this shit hole of a town.
Now I am taking home
what I have purchased.
Once we're married,
I won't let anyone else
put their hands on you.
Watch the face.
Eva!
I've been hit like that before.
He was 12, he didn't
have a gun, though.
I thought we'd never
get past foreplay.
Miguel, you know, you're going
through a lot for this one.
She's a woman money can't buy.
What the fuck is
taking them so long?
Go check.
Go!
I can't believe you
grabbed that stupid suitcase.
I killed a man.
Look, that man
deserved to die.
Don't you give it a second
thought.
It's your fault.
No, mija, you're the
one that is too proud.
All you had to do was say yes.
We have to figure out
what we're gonna do.
I'm not going back.
We can hide in the next town.
I'm leaving.
I know that,
we're both leaving.
No.
I'm going to America.
I get it.
I let you watch too
many Disney movies.
Going to America.
It's a sure way to die.
No, Mama, I'm
going to be free,
to choose my life.
You're so stubborn.
Just like your mother.
I have taught
you all that I can.
If you choose to be a fool,
you will learn, as I learned.
Thank God we're survivors.
I love you, Mama.
I love you too.
Go, go, go, go.
It's 2 a.m. in the morning.
Could you come back later,
please?
What are you doing?
This is not a hotel.
I need you to help me pray.
What are we praying for?
Forgiveness.
For one who seeks salvation,
the Heavenly Father
grant forgiveness.
I killed a man tonight.
Murder is not something
easily...
I'm not seeking forgiveness
for myself at the moment.
Then please explain to
me, what are you doing here?
I'm here
to ask
my father to forgive himself,
just long enough so he can
say goodbye to his daughter.
If you have come into this
church to cause any trouble-
- You were the one man she
thought she could trust.
I'm a man of God.
This is my church.
And I am your greatest sin.
Don't you look away from me.
Please don't-
Please.
Just go.
Go.
Wait.
Where are you going?
To America.
Along the migrant route?
Do you have a coyote?
A coyote, to steal my
money and leave me stranded
in the middle of nowhere?
Not all coyotes
are created equal.
How much money do you have?
1,000 US.
That's not enough.
You'll never make it
past Guatemala with that,
unless...
This is worth more than gold.
This will pay for your
passage into America.
She still loves you, you know.
After the war, she came to me,
looking for salvation.
And she found nothing but sin.
Besides,
having a drunk for a mother,
and a lying hypocrite
for a father,
what kind of life would
that have been for you?
One I would have
gladly welcomed.
Hold on.
Think about the road ahead,
not the one behind you.
You don't have much time.
He's leaving soon.
I have a moped out back.
You can leave it with
the nuns in the shed.
Go and find this particular man,
the one that they
call the Dragon.
He's a coyote.
The best of its kind.
True to his word,
tough as nails.
Show him that coin.
He owes me a favor.
Let's go. Get up.
Are you Dragon?
Who are you, what do you want?
- To get to America.
- How much do you have?
Go here in line with them.
Now, follow me.
No, you're mine.
Hey!
Get in.
I won't ask again.
Where are we going?
You're not gonna help
them, the others?
I know my limits.
Where'd you get my coin?
Your coin?
For sure as hell wasn't
your friend's back there,
so answer my question.
I, I don't even know you.
You need to answer my
questions when I ask them.
A priest from-
Come out.
Where are we going?
What are you doing here?
Going to America.
Let me guess, your
flight got canceled,
so you want to take
the scenic route?
You have no idea
what I've been through.
Save it, everyone's
got a story.
Please tell me you
got other clothes
in that suitcase of yours.
If you give me a minute
to change, then yes.
You got five minutes.
As for me, I got three rules.
Rule number one, don't ever
take on more than you can carry.
In other words,
know your limits.
Rule number two, answer my
questions when I ask them.
Keeping things from me
can get us both killed.
And rule number three,
the most important one,
don't be a quitter,
nobody likes a quitter.
So we're gonna walk
all the way to America?
I thought everyone
took the train up north.
Not everyone.
You know, there's
a trail just above us
that we could use
to travel faster.
What are you doing?
We have an agreement,
I know what I owe you.
No more.
No less.
Shh.
A little further.
Are you fucking crazy?
You left me back there.
I didn't want you to think
that I owe you anything.
I didn't leave you
back there, okay?
We stay off the beaten path,
no one will find us here.
My father said you were
some kind of tough guy coyote.
But all you do is run and hide.
Your father?
Well, okay, you
want to stay back
and fight the whole Salvadorian
police department, huh?
I've made this trip more
times than you have.
My way is under the radar.
No unnecessary risk.
You have first watch,
wake me up in four hours.
It's not her.
Do you want me to
call your father?
And tell him what?
Two of our men got killed by
a girl and her drunk mother?
He's my best tracker.
Said he finds her tracks out
along the mountain ridge.
The mountain?
We're talking about
a woman, alone.
She's not alone,
and this is a route
known to be used by a
coyote named Dragon.
Dragon has a storage
unit not too far
run by the gangs.
This shit keeps
getting better.
That's impossible,
my father killed him.
Even if it was, no man
would be stupid enough
to try that again.
We can't afford
to underestimate
this woman anymore.
Her and her mother might be
two motherfucking samurais,
for all we know.
Five minutes.
Use the bathrooms,
maybe take a shower?
We can't leave a trail.
A trail?
The people who saw us.
People can smell fresh soap
and perfume for miles around.
And to go where we're going,
the less attractive
we are, the better.
Hey.
I think we may have gotten
off on the wrong foot.
Wait, hold up.
The cartel's tracking you.
Cartel is tracking me?
Don't play dumb,
everyone thinks I'm dead.
Why is there a small
army after you?
You broke the rules, deal's off.
You can't do that.
You owe a debt to my father.
Lady, what do you think this
is, huh, some kind of game?
I can't beat them all.
I don't need you
to beat them all.
I just need you to
get me to America.
Do you have any
idea what's ahead?
Yes, I mean, I
know it's tough.
Tough?
There are cities,
right, whole countries
waiting to kill us
as soon as we set
foot on their soil.
Not to mention the
cartel hunting you.
Not paying your debt, huh?
Is that your fourth rule?
If we keep going,
there's no going back.
I accepted that the moment
I got in that car with you.
Now it's your turn.
Keep your head down.
I got a storage
unit up the block.
No they don't respect all
the mother fuckin' pain
That you go
through to hustle
I had to cut out the people
that just took advantage
I had to say fuck 'em
I remember the days
I would give
everything in return
Never asked 'em for nothin'
Yeah my momma would say
better watch who you hang with
I promise that they
never loved you
There's a better way.
Not our problem.
Under the radar, remember.
They now let me call
them they brother
Swore on they life and
they swore on they mother
And I had to learn
it the harder way
I'm moving on and
I'm lost in things
I'm moving on
none like no other
Where's my fucking money?
Where'd that bitch go?
Slowly this shit
kept repeating
Relations kept failing
and falling like dominoes
I got a whole lot of
obstacles ready to get it
I'm tellin' 'em vamanos
Yo quiero dinero
los dejos asombrados
I'm riding around
in el barrio
Yeah my momma was right
when she looked in my eyes
And she told me one day
that I gotta go up
They always doubted the boy
With the mother
fuckin' voice
That was tellin' I
was down in the dumps
I ain't gonna cry
Mother fucker.
Yeah, I stole your shit!
You not gonna do shit about it.
You're lucky that door's locked.
Or I'll fuck you up.
Go.
Hey.
Hey.
I heard you were dead, man.
You heard wrong.
Hey, sexy!
Why don't you come over here?
Why don't you come
over here to me?
Who's next?
What are you waiting for?
Cut the bitch!
Ahh!
Should we take his gun?
No.
If the police finds us with a
gun, we'll be in jail forever.
I'm fine.
Well the manager of this
place stole my motorcycle,
so the plan changes a bit.
Where'd you learn that?
- My mother.
- Your mother?
She grew up in Esalgo
in the aftermaths of la matanza.
The massacre?
My grandparents were
killed by government snipers.
More than 10,000
murdered in all.
Terrible time.
My mother joined the rebels,
plot against the government.
She was recruited to
become an assassin,
small unit tactics,
knife fighting.
She sounds like
a remarkable woman.
What about your father?
They were both looking for
answers and found each other,
fell in love.
She gave it all up
to be with him.
Said there were just too many
assholes in the world to kill,
but it didn't last.
My father couldn't
handle the shame.
He went back to the church
and abandoned us when
I was still a baby.
I'm sorry he wasn't there
for you, but your father,
he saved my life,
hid me from the cartel.
I've been caught in
the middle my whole life.
I can't do this, not
allowed to do that.
My mother and father had
to spend their whole lives
trying to forget one war,
while preparing me
to fight in another.
I understand.
So, what's the new plan?
We're in it.
We use this car to
get to Guatemala.
And after we get to Guatemala?
Catch a taxi, and then
no more help from me.
- Wait, I can't-
- Eva,
you're gonna get us both
killed, do you know why?
'Cause you don't listen.
I don't listen?
Do you remember
rule number one?
Never take on more
than you can carry.
Problems between
here and the border
are gonna slow you
down and suck you in.
So you do as I say, or
no more help from me.
Deal?
Hey
Timely motherfuckers.
You two lost?
Hey we're cool!
Just passing through.
Hey, tranquilo.
We didn't do that.
Hey,
the Brazilian.
He's my father.
The Brazilian is your
father huh?
Legit.
Miguel.
We'll be on our way.
You're pretty far from home,
and I'm thinking
they might pay a good
price to see you return.
Let me kill one of them.
Send a message to the
cartels to think twice
about setting foot on our turf!
Yeah.
Let's get 'em!
- What do we do?
- Stay close,
and shut up.
- You called my father?
- Yesterday.
I'm going to take what's mine,
and, uh-
- The hell you are.
We're not scared of you.
And you can keep what's yours.
I trust our arrangement
remains in place,
unless,
you are not in control.
Come on.
If I hadn't called him, you'd
be spending the next few weeks
tied up in a closet in
this shit hole country!
Not even married yet,
and your woman's already
pushed you to the bottle.
So, this woman I hear about,
she's one in a million?
Hmm?
Is that so?
You idiots get two
of my men killed,
then sit here with
nothing to show for it.
We did find out that
Dragon might still be alive.
So you say,
a dead man walks.
And aren't we
riding the beast here?
I mean, we could just ride
the train straight to Mexico.
I wouldn't be in any rush
to be getting on that train.
Who's this guy?
Our driver.
And that stuff?
And who's the man
in the picture?
That's his driver.
You'll understand when
you get to America.
What's he doing now?
Taxi driver in Guatemala
has one of the most
dangerous jobs in the world.
Over 900 drivers were
killed here last year alone.
Canesto has been driving this
van for over three years now.
He's the best
your money can buy.
My money?
I mean, yeah, I
could pay, but...
Don't worry. I'll pay half.
I'm riding too.
I heard you got into trouble
with the Brazilian
on your last run.
Look at you.
Lying here in pain.
Your flock is dead, trooper.
You planning on settling down?
Nah, it's not like that.
She's just a job.
So was my wife.
Hold on.
Good luck.
Let's go.
Come on, I got you, come on.
We should keep going.
We stop here.
He's right there.
Couldn't catch him
in an old, broken van.
What makes you think
we'll catch him in a car?
More than you can carry.
Remember our deal.
File was built on information,
pieced together on a ghost.
Soledad is a very
dangerous woman.
Could she be found?
Me and my tracker have a lead.
- Thank you for this.
- Glad to be of service.
Tracker.
Why her?
I don't expect
you to understand.
You think I don't know
how to think like an idiot?
So, it's idiotic to want
something money can't buy?
You have a lot to learn.
It's idiotic to want a woman
like that in the first place.
She's a prize.
One of a kind.
You always said a man
shouldn't settle,
so I haven't settled.
I have said that.
It's true.
We live in a rough world
where the strong thrive,
however,
we have dreamers that think
they're better than us.
Give 'em some space,
and they'll even think
they're stronger than us,
then others will believe it.
That's when they
come for your head.
So that's why you hunt Dragon?
That's exactly why.
He's just some
second rate coyote,
taking the peasants and whores.
I had thought
that, too, at first.
Then I started hearing
all these whispers
with his name, along with
words like brave, honor,
tough.
I sent him a message, and
he killed one of my men.
Pablito!
Sending a message back to me!
Let me know that I
couldn't buy him,
and that he wasn't afraid
of the cartel.
I killed all those
men whispering, and
I will kill Dragon.
I understand.
Do you?
You gonna pay cash or...?
Cash.
Cash.
That's it.
This is the only money I have.
Oh, no, no.
No, you keep your
money for your family.
We can work out something else.
Mm, mm.
Let's go.
Mama.
I don't believe it.
I have been praying!
You couldn't even
call your mother
to let me know you were alive!
I see, now.
No, hold on,
mom, it's not what you think.
Why don't you go
freshen up, dear,
and I'll make us
something to eat?
- Just down there.
- Yes?
Her father took me in.
A priest.
This man, the Brazilian,
can you beat him?
He runs a cartel, ma.
Controls it from
here to Tijuana.
That's not what I asked you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, I haven't-
- Ugh, please, eat.
Don't mind me.
You're the first woman my
Derwin has ever brought home-
- I'm fine.
Dragon and I-
- Oh, relax.
He told me everything.
Of all the things to
want to grow up to be.
Kids dream of being doctors,
lawyers, a sports star.
My son becomes Dragon,
El Coyote.
I need a drink.
How 'bout you?
I'll take a tequila.
Tequila it is.
Ah.
This is delicious,
thank you so much.
Oh, that's my
son's favorite, too.
So that's one thing
you have in common.
I'm afraid your son and
I have nothing in common.
Eh, he's alive, you're alive.
That's two!
You're fishing.
To fishing!
- Ah.
- So, tell me.
What are you going
to do in America?
Be free to live my life.
To do what?
What do you mean?
Well, you can
be free anywhere.
What are you going to do
with all that freedom?
Be free to become who
I'm meant to become,
no matter the case.
I'll do a lot more than
let innocent people
die while I just watch.
Seen a lot these
past few weeks, huh?
You know, my late
husband, Dragon's father,
was a police officer
here, in Guadalajara.
All he ever talked
about was saving lives,
helping the community.
We have a son.
As soon as he could talk,
he's saying the same.
Wanted to be just
like his father.
But then my husband was shot
and killed in the line of duty.
Hard thing, losing a hero.
Even harder when that
hero is your father.
I'm sorry.
I grew up without my father.
I know.
I can see the chip
on your shoulder.
When a young kid is touched
by that kind of pain,
it shapes them.
Adds a darkness to them
that even the prettiest
smile can't hide.
That pain also
takes away hope.
Like I see with
you, and my mother,
the world is what it is,
and we should be
happy with what we got,
never, ever ask for more.
Can you blame a mother?
When your child is involved,
maybe the risk is too much.
I still remember when my son
took the first group of people
across the border.
He was still so young, and
happy, smiling all the time.
He took the first group across,
excited to be
making a difference,
and the second and the third,
and something began to change.
But by the fifth trip,
he was not the same.
Locked himself in his room,
Didn't eat for a week.
When he finally emerged,
he was a different man.
Different how?
First, he had
these three rules.
Oh, yes. I've heard
those quite a few times.
Men will tell you something
until it hurts, won't they?
Mothers, too.
Oh, wise one, aren't you?
How old are you, if you
don't mind my asking?
25 today.
Today?
Mm-hm.
- Your birthday is today?
- Mm-hm.
Ah!
We need to celebrate!
That's what I'm doing!
Nonsense.
There is always a party in town,
but we have to pace ourselves.
Salud.
Ah!
Vamanos.
What about Dragon?
He'll find us when he's ready.
Ladies and gentlemen,
DJ Dub is in the house,
and it's about to go down.
Oooh, I see you
walking like that
Gracias, and one
for my friend, please.
Como no?
Another.
To getting older and wiser.
Older and wiser.
Salud!
Mmm.
Ah!
Ooh.
Oh, okay.
All eyes are on you
You're cool tonight
You know that I
saw you tonight
Seorita, you do
it for me, girl
You know I'm not
easily hypnotized
But there is
something I can't deny
We're not romantic,
we're brought to life
Seorita, you do
it for me, girl
For me, girl, Seorita,
you do it for me, girl
Ooooh, tell the DJ
My son is one of the
best dancers in town.
Let's dance like we
don't care who sees
You're the only
attention I need
Mi Bonita amiga
Ooooh, every man in
here probably hates me
But I don't really
care what they say
'Cause as long as the
music's still playing
La vida fiesta
I know that it's not just me
Come on, girl,
what you think
Oh
You know I'm not
easily hypnotized
But you got that
something I can't deny
We're not romantic
or brought to life
Seorita, you do
it for me, girl
For me girl, seorita,
you do it for me, girl
Okay.
You found yourself
a good woman there.
Morning.
I made you some coffee.
Oh, thank you.
I'm sorry, I wasn't
expecting company.
Can you watch the stove for me?
I have to go to the market.
No, you don't
have to, I can go.
- You can go?
- Of course.
Let me give you a bag.
Thank you.
Of course.
I'm sorry!
- I thought she-
- Was alone?
They made me.
He's having the life.
Come on, Miguel.
You really need all these
people to hold your hand.
Look who's holding
my hand now, mi amor.
Drop the knife.
You're late to your wedding.
It's all over now.
Nobody's going to help you.
Last time I waited
outside and left you
to work through
everything alone.
Your visa came in.
I wanted to surprise
you and Eva with it.
I'm not going to let you
bring others to freedom,
while you stay here, locked
away in this prison with me.
This is not a prison.
This is a prison!
Times have changed,
and things are no longer
safe for you here.
That is why you must go.
You have a lot of
choices to make,
but please do not come back.
Whoo!
Whoo!
Yeah.
Clean up, you filthy slut.
Yeah.
You might have
to rape me dirty.
I hope they let me put
you out of your misery.
We have this bet going,
how much of this bottle
is it gonna take to make you
beautiful again.
Again?
I think we may even need
another bottle.
Hey, save some of
that bottle for me.
This filthy slut
might have a surprise for you.
Yeah.
Eva?
I thought we were
past this, dear?
You have made your
point, I understand.
And I promise not to mistreat
you in our life together.
Get the fuck out here,
or I'll have your mother
gutted and turned into paste.
Now, that's more like it.
Come.
Aren't you a sight?
You are going to ask me why.
My father asked me why you too?
It was a great question
that really made me think.
Seeing you here, defiant,
it helps me understand.
It's complicated
because you have given me
a long time to think about this.
It's not for beauty,
'cause I can have almost
any beautiful woman I see.
It's for what you are.
As you know I will run a cartel
and live in this
world of luxury.
It's dark,
and you, my love,
will bring the light.
At my darkest moments
I can look up to
you and maybe think
about what could be.
That hope will keep a part of
me alive, in this darkness.
You will be taken care
of, maybe even loved,
but you will never be free
because I can't be free.
Now put on your dress and
the guards will escort you
to the altar,
or the kennels where
we keep the bitches.
Can I see my mother?
Of course.
You think I'm some
kind of monster?
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay.
We got a place for you.
That piece of shit Recelo.
He was right.
I will die in shame,
miles from my home.
Help me, and I'll help
you get your family back.
But I have three rules.
So I've got a car
backed up there.
I've got 10 guys up here.
We'll start with
the south and then...
Okay, so we're improvising.
Now you wanna watch
your mother die?
Would you like to
see your daughter die?
Go.
Go, go, go, go.
What happened to
the rule number one?
You never let me
state my exceptions.
There's something I must do.
You might need this.
I'll meet you at the gate.
You okay?
Eva?
This bastard had the nerves
to bleed on the smokes.
What a waste.
We need to get
you out, get up.
Are we in heaven?
Are we,
are we both dead?
What?
I'm killing assholes.
I'm drinking tequila,
and my daughter,
oh,
she's finally getting married.
Come on, let's go.
Ay, Eva.
Eva, wait!
Wait.
What?
So you're not getting married?
No.
We're getting Dragon and
we're getting out of here.
Eva, Eva!
Eva!
Listen,
you got balls on you,
but you're a fool if you think
some man is gonna come
here and save you.
He's different.
Eva!
My father, he asked me
to give you a message.
Enough!
Let's go!
Mom-
- Okay, let's discuss only.
Well, look at that,
she's all dressed
up for her wedding.
My future wife!
Wow, you look so beautiful.
You can take your mother.
Clean yourself up.
Father,
the bride to be.
Keep an eye on them.
No guns.
This is a wedding.
I'm not doing this.
We brought knives
to a gunfight.
Dragon, the Coyote.
The little cucaracha,
always hiding in the dark.
But tonight,
we settle everything,
once and for all.
You think you can
fight the cartel?
You think you can beat me, huh?
I came to do more,
then just fight you.
Get him.
Don't worry, I'll put
you out of your misery.
That's a problem.
Look at you.
Scars make sure
we grow stronger.
Okay, where's my bride?
Come on.
Go get my bride.
Someone bring me a gun.
Are you sure you
wanna marry this woman?
Go get 'em.
What did your,
what did your father say?
He said.
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I never stopped
loving her.
I want to say something
wait,
before I die.
You women are trash.
Filth is in your blood.
Get down!
- Let's go.
- Who's that?
It's Dragon, come on.
Say goodbye!
No!
You'll be fine mami.
Mama, mama, don't
close your eyes.
Mama, mami please, stay with me.
Stay with me, mama.
Mommy.
What the heck are
you still doing here?
Making sure you're okay.
You lost a lot of blood.
And you found something
I told you didn't exist.
A man you could actually trust.
Yeah.
And we can all be safe together.
I'm not going with you.
People will see me,
and they will charge you.
You might even ruin what
you have going with him.
He said you're
a remarkable woman.
He's a smart boy.
You don't wanna ask
me anything about him?
They say,
they say that you can
see the worth of a man
on the eyes of his woman.
I can see this man is
worth his weight in gold.
You did good.
I can't leave
you again, Mommy.
I can't.
Mija, Eva,
every generation
ends up with debt.
But then, the next generation
gets a chance to move forward,
pay it off.
Move forward, my love.
You are now free.
