In Our Blood (2024) Movie Script
1
I can't...
I can't be part of this system
anymore.
- Okay, here's the deal.
Like, you go,
I go, 'cause I can't take
this shit the whole ride.
- Okay.
I like this.
What are you doing?
- This light is
beautiful, man.
Hey, who knew ...
Who knew hoopty tinted windows
could make good filters,
right Captain?
- Are you making fun of my car?
- Oh no, I am sorry.
I thought that was clear, yeah.
- You're fired.
- Already?
Oh no!
Shit, dude, that's a record for
me, man.
Ah, look at that view.
Oh yeah ...
Actually, can you pull over for
a second?
- Right here?
- Yeah.
- For what?
- B roll, man. Come on!
- Okay, give me a
second.
- Oh my God, man,
look at this ...
- We should get going.
- You know what you call
that?
Production value.
The lighting's beautiful out
here, dude.
You come out here a lot as a
kid?
- Sometimes.
- Sometimes?
No, if I lived here, man
I'd be out here all the time.
- You're right though.
The lighting is great.
- I feel like you're trying
to tell me something, boss.
- I'm about to
leave you in the desert.
- I don't wanna
push you. I get it, alright?
But this is about you
reconnecting with your mom,
right?
So why not just get it in
this light, it's beautiful?
- Who's the director?
- Definitely, definitely
you.
Okay, definitely you.
But you said cinema verit,
okay?
That's all I'm trying to do.
I'm just trying to get something
that feels real, you know?
- Okay, fine.
- Yeah?
- Go.
- Alright, one second.
Let me just turn this off.
So, how did this all start?
- So I got this letter from my
mom
saying that she is still
living in Las Cruces,
and that she wants me to
come for Thanksgiving, and
and that she's clean.
- So, how old
were you when you left?
- I was about 13 when they
took me away from her.
- Wow, what happened?
- She ...
- She's an addict.
You know, she's not a bad
person.
She just made a lot of bad
choices and hurt a lot of
people.
- Mm.
She's okay with us filming?
- Yeah, she seems fine with it.
I think she understands
where I'm coming from.
- Cool, cool, cool.
Mom stuff, it's hard.
- Yeah.
- You know, when my
brother and I were little,
my mom got deported.
We didn't get to see her much
after that.
- Sorry.
- No, don't be, we
still get to talk and stuff.
Actually, she lives pretty
close to Las Cruces.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I mean,
on the other side of the wall.
- Do you have something to
share with the class, or?
- Seriously, you want
some?
- Yeah.
- Whoa, motherfucking
cock, are you kidding?
Is it weird for you to be back?
- Yeah.
- Mm.
You nervous?
- I mean, yeah.
You know...
the idea of seeing my mom was a
lot.
- I get it.
- Some really dark stuff
happened
when we were last together,
but when I started thinking
about it -
us reuniting - as a film,
it started to feel less scary.
You know, I thought I
could use it as a way
to understand her in a way
that I couldn't in the past.
- Oh yeah?
It feels so empty here.
- Hm.
- Doesn't seem
like anybody's home.
- She's here.
Hi Sam.
- Hi.
- Could you get the stuff out of
the car?
- This is almost set.
You from LA too?
Dan?
Danny?
- Boyle Heights, yeah.
- How long have you been
living in Boyle Heights?
Hi.
- Hi.
- It's almost ready.
Voila.
- Get cutaways of these.
Let me know if this is enough.
- Oh wow, thank
you so much Ms. Wyland.
- I hope it's cooked.
- Thank you for letting me
be a part of your dinner.
- I think there's more
of that if you want.
So you guys made good
time getting over here?
- We didn't stop much.
- Well, Happy Thanksgiving,
guys.
- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Okay guys.
- Pardon my reach, Ms. Wyland.
- Can you say
something into your mic?
I need to get your levels.
- What do you want me to say?
- That's great.
Ready, Sam?
Can you start by saying
your name to camera?
- My name is Sam.
My name is Samantha Wyland.
- Good.
I'm gonna start with some
very broad questions.
You've lived in Las
Cruces for a long time...
What does it mean to you now?
- Sorry, Miss Wyland,
I need you to not fiddle
with your mic, I'm sorry.
No touching.
- Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
Sorry.
- It's all good, all
good.
- What was the question, what?
- Las Cruces.
What does it mean to you now?
- Okay, let's see.
It's home.
It's home.
I've lived here a long
time, most of my life.
There's memories here.
There's a lot of good memories
and a lot of real fucked up
memories too.
Sorry, sorry.
Bad ones.
Bad memories.
History's heavy here.
It's real heavy.
- What's been going
on here that makes it...?
- Can I tell you why I wrote
that letter?
Please.
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
About a month ago,
a friend of mine,
a dear friend, Tina Delgado,
she went missing for about a
week.
I didn't know it at the time,
but I guess she'd been involved
with some pretty bad people,
and we found out
that that's what got her killed.
And I know that at one point,
that could have easily
been me instead of her.
So...
- Sorry.
- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry about everything
that I've put you through.
And I wanted to be the kind of
person
that did the decent thing.
And that's why I sent you that
letter,
because I wanna make it right
with you.
I wanna just make it right with
you.
- Sam, do you think
you're that person now?
- Yeah.
I think I am now.
- What changed?
What changed for you?
- I got clean.
And I got a job, I got a steady
job,
and a community.
- Doing what?
- Administrative stuff, just at
this
community organization
that runs a rehab clinic,
and sometimes they ask me to
talk to people about
what I've been through.
- What do you tell 'em?
- Just that I know how hard it
is,
'cause I've been there and
I've come out the other side,
and um ... they always got
someone looking after 'em.
- Do you ever tell
them that you used to send
your daughter to clinics to
score for you?
Or that when she'd take some for
herself,
you didn't care enough to stop
her?
- We never had a chance, did we?
- Sorry.
- We never had a chance.
Can I take this off?
- Yeah, take it off.
- I dunno how to take this off?
- That's okay.
- Thank you
- You take care of her, good?
- She's a tough
one, your daughter.
- You okay?
- Can you stop, please?
- We should probably get
this, Em.
- Hey.
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Maybe you can come to the clinic
tomorrow
to see what I do, yeah?
Might make you feel
better about all of this.
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Okay, okay.
Alright, alright.
- You okay?
- Can you cut?
- Look, I'm
sorry. Alright? I just,
I saw a real moment, you know?
You don't gotta be embarrassed
with me.
- Tomorrow, we should
still get that B roll
and those interviews before we
go in.
- Yeah, yeah, of course,
sure.
Fuck.
- I overreacted.
I'm sorry.
I spoke to Sam.
There's nothing new, as I
expected.
You said coming here wouldn't be
an issue if I didn't make it
one,
but it's hard being back.
It's harder than I thought.
I just wanted to say that for
the record.
- Yeah, it's gonna look
amazing.
- Cool, cool. Let
me just check something.
- Hey, sorry about last
night.
It was a lot of heavy stuff
all at once, you know?
- Hey, you know that shit she
was saying about her friend,
like about how it could
have been her, you know?
- Yeah.
- That shit fucking hit me, man.
My dad,
he's just an addict, man,
and a fucking druggie
My brother, he just got involved
in gang shit really early on,
and I did too, you know?
I didn't even think about
it, man. It was just,
It's just what you did.
But I had an aunt.
She would look out, you know,
give me a place to sleep every
once in a while if I needed it.
And I had this teacher.
She told me she thought I was
talented
You know?
And that was it, man.
That was the difference, you
know?
I got out because of her,
and I wasn't a saint, you know,
not by any means, but ...
And life was hard,
But I am not in prison, like my
brother,
and I'm not in the fucking
ground like my dad.
- I think you should
give yourself some more credit.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
I mean, you had all those
people to support you,
but it was you that made the
good choices.
- Yeah, well,
shit could have gone real
different real quick,
if it wasn't for those women...
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- I didn't have anyone.
I actually reported Sam myself.
Choice a grown woman couldn't
make.
- Well, not everyone's
got such big balls, man.
You okay?
- Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
- Alright.
If you're ever not okay, you
tell me.
Uh?
- Mhm.
I will.
- Listen.
You better fucking use this,
okay?
Because this time lapse is
beautiful.
And if you don't cut
it in, I'm gonna be pi-
You wanna do another sit
down when we get there?
- No, I think we should
just let her take us around.
This runs down past the
cemetery.
- So your mom-
- Good, are we good?
- Excuse me?
- Hi, we're here to see Samantha
Wyland-
- Excuse me, can I help you?
- Yes, we were told to
meet Samantha Wyland.
- Yeah, but you can't
have that on in here.
- Sorry.
- Is it off?
- Yes ma'am.
- You're here to see Sam?
- Yes, I'm her daughter.
- Her daughter?
Oh, it looks like she did
call out this morning.
She told you to meet her here?
- Uh yeah, but
that was last night.
I haven't been able to
get ahold of her today.
- So you're visiting from out of
town?
- Sort of, I... um...
We're out here making a
documentary
about my mom and I reconnecting.
I'm actually from here
originally.
I lived here with Sam
until I was about 13.
- Oh, I feel bad.
I didn't know she even had a
daughter.
- Since we're
here, I was wondering
if maybe we could interview you.
I would love to hear your
thoughts on my mom's work here.
Wireless mic, right?
- Yep.
- Okay.
- Oh, do you mind if I just?
- No, no.
- Yeah.
- Alright.
- Alright, if we could
start with
your name and your position
here.
- My name is Ana Stuart,
and I am the program director
for rehabilitation services
here at the Hooper Center
in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
- And can you go
into detail about your work?
- Hmm, sure.
The Hooper Center is a
campus of nonprofits,
and they all work together to
provide
an array of services for the
unhoused
and vulnerable populations
of Doa Ana County.
- How do you help them?
- We provide support to
those who are struggling
with addiction and or
mental health challenges.
You know, I just found this out
recently
that there was a sanitarium
here,
like in the old days, like
forever.
It was just torn down like in
the sixties.
- You mean,
like a mental hospital?
- I guess what I meant is
there have been people here
trying to help people
for a very long time.
I get to watch people
transform into leaders,
who then help themselves, and
step in
and help others.
I got to see your mother do
that.
- She mentioned
something, yeah.
- She's done really good work
here.
- And could you
tell me more about that?
- Oh, I really do have to go
now.
I'm so sorry.
- That was great, thank
so much.
- Listen, are you gonna
be here a few days?
Well, why don't you call up,
make an appointment, and we'll
show you around the campus.
Would you like that?
- Actually, do
you think there's anyone
else we could talk to
right now who knows Sam?
- I'm sorry, Ana do you mind if
I just?
- No, of course.
Help yourself.
Try the camp out back,
she knows some of them.
- Thank you so much,
Ana.
- Have you been able to
reach her?
- No, I keep getting
voicemail.
It's a documentary.
Would you like to be in it, Mr.,
uh?
- Red.
- Red.
- Brother, we just need you
to stand right on that mark.
And then just have a
conversation
with the lovely young lady.
- Okay.
- Camera set.
- Hi Jennifer,
thank you for doing this.
So, why don't you tell me your
name and where you're from-
- My name is Jennifer Anderson,
and I am from, I'm from,
I was born in Silver City,
but I've lived a lot of
different places
and foster homes and hospitals.
- Charlene Garrick,
and I'm from Salt Lake, Utah.
- From Maui.
- Maui?
- Hawaii, really?
- I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah.
- Do you know Sam Wyland
who works here at the Hooper
Center?
- I do not.
- Okay.
- Yes, I know Sam.
- Oh.
Sam's great.
- She's very strong.
- Yeah?
- But she's also, you know,
very helpful and very nice.
- She's a good person.
- She helps out here.
- Yeah.
- And she's just told me
that she
lost a friend recently to
violence,
and I was just curious,
do you feel safe here?
- Sometimes I see violence
that I never seen in Hawaii.
- I mean, you hear like all
these stories,
people getting abducted
and stuff, you know?
- Two weeks ago I heard
that a girl was like,
from the, you know,
up to her throat.
It was pretty crazy.
Like, I was thinking like,
what if that was my friend?
It could have been my friend.
What if it was one of my
friends?
It's something very hard to
face.
Like, I've been chronically
homeless for 10 years,
and so I've lost a lot of
people.
- I get a little scared,
'cause there's a guy that
used to follow me around.
- What do you think of
the people here in Las Cruces?
- They pretend, but
they can't hide from me.
And they can't hide from
Jesus, not for much longer.
- Thank you so much,
Red.
- Was that it?
- Thank you, Sir.
Las Cruces man.
Are you afraid of a relapse?
- I don't know.
Let's just see if she's home.
It's open.
Hello?
Hello?
Sam?
You check the living room,
and I'll check the bedrooms.
- Yeah, sure.
- Hey Em, anything?
- She's not here.
- Okay.
- Hey, Em!
Em, come here real quick.
- Okay.
What?
- Take a look at that
shelf.
Wasn't there a photo there
yesterday?
- Yeah, there was.
Let's check the footage.
That's it.
- Wait, look.
- Oh my God.
- You know any of these
guys?
- No, but I think that's
Tina,
the one who died.
- Why the fuck
would she burn it like that?
- That's a good question.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You take care of her good?
- She's a tough
one, your daughter.
- Maybe you can come
to the clinic tomorrow
to see what I do?
It might make you feel
better about all of this.
- You're looking for
clues?
- Hmm.
Okay, yeah.
- Maybe she just needs
her time.
She'll show up.
We got some pretty good
stuff already, right?
Huh?
Yeah?
Uh-oh, she likes it!
Oh, wow.
Hey, so are you happy you hired
this kid?
- You can cut.
- Alright, this is some magic
hour B roll.
It's fucking creepy.
Alright, let's lighten
the mood a little bit,
do a little tour of our lovely
motel.
This is where we're staying.
First we have, well,
this is where the bed
mites live, probably.
So there's that.
That is the one-burner stove.
Who's that handsome guy?
Okay.
You guys don't see me often.
I'm here, I swear.
There we go.
And then we have the bathroom
that I refuse to go into.
- ...human
smuggling operation...
- This is the TV,
you have two channels.
And this is our ugly
ass base of operations.
Our fearless leader.
What are you doing?
You worried she got pinched?
- I'm just looking.
I'll try her cell one more time.
- Yeah, do that.
Nothing?
Hey, am I crazy?
This is the same place from
your mom's photo, right?
- That's it.
- Right?
- Yeah.
- Hey!
- Hey, excuse me.
What the hell are you doing?
- I'm sorry, what?
- You cannot film here.
- Oh, I didn't know-
- Okay, get out.
Turn this thing off-
- Don't touch
the camera, please relax.
- Turn it off and get out of
here.
- Okay.
- Do you want me to throw you
out?
- What's the problem?
- You can't film here.
I need to check with Isaac
first.
- Okay fine, who is
Isaac?
- He's my husband, he's the
owner.
- Is he here?
- No, but he'll be back
tomorrow.
- Great, we'll check in with him
tomorrow.
Are you friends with Sam Wyland?
- Yeah.
- Have you seen her
around lately?
- She was here last week.
- Have you seen her since?
- No.
- We appreciate
your time, thank you.
- She was in Sam's photo
- That fucking Karen?
- Yeah.
- Yo, what if
she was acting real crazy
'cause she knows something about
Sam
she doesn't want you to know?
- Like what?
- I don't know, like she
went
on a fucking bender or
something.
What's up?
- Do you smell that?
- Smell what?
- It's coming from in here.
- Oh, Jesus fuck!
Hell, that's fucking nasty,
dude.
That's fucking nasty.
What?
- I can't.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck is this shit?
Sir, I don't know what to tell
you.
What do you want me to say?
- Don't get smart with
me, Son.
- Listen, I'm not trying
to get smart with you,
man, I'm just fucking tired-
- Dude, I don't give a
fuck.
Just lift up your sleeve, Son.
The other one.
- Yeah, sure.
Happy?
I'm getting that shit removed.
- Is that fucking
right, huh?
You're sticking to your same
story?
- There's no story for
me to stick to, man!
- You don't know
anything about
the Carniceros hit two nights
ago?
- We're out here from Los
Angeles.
We came out here to make
a fucking movie, okay?
I don't know anything about
any of that other shit.
We came back to find a fucking
pig head
in our fucking bathroom, and
that's it.
- Anything, nothing?
- We don't have anything
available.
- Okay.
We're gonna have to find
another place to stay tonight.
- Yeah, it's okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Ana!
- Don't run up on people in the
dark.
- I'm so sorry.
- Is everything okay?
- Do you know Los Carniceros?
They said that they think it's
this gang that left the pig?
- Yeah, it's an
intimidation tactic.
They're a local gang,
and they're hooked up
with a cartel across the border.
Very violent.
- Do you think Sam was
ever involved with them?
Like, did she mention them to
you?
- No, I mean,
not that I know of, no.
- I still can't find
her.
- Okay, yeah,
you and Danny stay here tonight,
and then in the morning we'll
see what we can find out.
- What is that?
- It was just something I found
at Sam's.
I forgot I had it in my pocket.
- You know what it does?
Or what it's for?
- I have no idea.
- Kind of weird looking, huh?
- Alright, so.
What's the plan, boss?
- I think that we should
go back to Beth and Isaac's
and see if they heard anything
from Sam.
- Yeah.
- And if they don't got
anything good to say about her?
- I guess that's just
where the story goes.
- Alright.
Cool, man.
What?
- You okay with this?
- This is a fucking upgrade,
dude.
There's no mice here, there's a
shower.
I like it, man.
Thanks boss, gracias.
- Someone doesn't want
us here.
That, or it's some kind of test.
I'm not sure, but it's clear
that there's
something going on
beyond what Sam told me.
I don't know why I'm
surprised about that, but-
- Yo Em, where are you?
- I'll see what
I can find out tomorrow.
- You seen my lens cap?
- Yeah.
- Like, what even
is this place though?
- This does not seem
like a place
Sam would hang out at, like at
all,
but I don't know, she always
surprises me.
- Welcome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- This is Isaac.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Beth tells me you are making a
movie.
- Yeah, we just wanted to
ask you a couple questions.
- Great.
Welcome, this is it.
- Nice.
- This is my office.
Do you want to talk over there?
- No, here's fine.
Just wanted to ask a couple
questions.
- No problem, do I talk to you?
- You just talk to me, it's
fine.
- Yeah, sure.
I've known Sam a long time.
- I was wondering,
do you remember taking this?
- Yes.
- Do you know why
Sam would want to destroy it?
- What do you mean?
- We found the original
copy
burned up in our ashtray.
- I really couldn't tell you.
- Are the rest of the
people
in this photo still around?
- All except Tina.
- Yeah, Sam did mention her to
me.
She said that she was killed.
- Yeah, it was terrible.
It hit Sammy really hard.
- Do you know where she
might be?
Because we haven't been able
to get ahold of her for two days
now.
- Sammy tends to avoid stuff
when things get kinda too much.
Seeing you again was
probably tough for her.
- Did Sam ever deal with any
members of Los Carniceros?
- Who?
- The gang in the area?
- No, not Sammy.
I wouldn't worry.
She might just be taking
some time, you know?
- Well, do you
think you could help me
find the rest of the people in
this photo?
- Sure, Shawn and Lori.
- Danny.
- Shawn.
They're a little further out,
but I'm sure they wouldn't
mind you stopping by.
Is there anything else you need?
- I think that's it, I think
we're done.
- Okay.
- Hey, he didn't seem
too worried,
huh?
- Yeah, he didn't.
- You think he's
playing?
- Okay.
Thank you, we will be
there shortly, thank you.
Okay, bye-bye.
That was the police.
They said that we can go back to
the motel and get the rest of
our stuff.
- Right now?
- Yeah
- Fucking shit...
- We have time, finish.
- It's okay, I'll just pick it
up.
- We'll be super
quick. Thank you, officer.
- What the fuck?
Em?
Shit-
- Danny, come on, get
your stuff.
- Emily?
They were all eating on that
fucking pig.
- So you think the pig was sick?
- I don't know, I don't
know.
- Well, look, the police
bagged 'em, so if there's
something worth figuring
out, we'll know soon.
- Emily, you don't
find this shit weird at all?
- It's Cruces.
- Do you ever worry
Sam's working at that place for
the drugs?
- I don't know.
I just know that's where
she used to get it.
Hey, can you give me the address
again?
The one from Isaac?
- Yeah, what?
Shawn and Lori?
- Hello?
Red?
- Hello friends.
- Hi, Red.
- In the flesh.
- We were just looking
for the people who live here.
Shawn and Lori?
- Oh yeah, I know.
They ain't home right now.
Don't worry, they don't
mind me helping myself
every once in a while.
- Hey, Red.
You know any of the
people in this photo, man?
- You shouldn't have just
handed that to him like that.
- Yeah, I know a bunch of
them.
- Ask me next time.
- Sure.
- That's Tina Delgado, Beth and
Isaac.
That's Kevin Brown.
- Kevin?
Do you know where we can find
him?
- God willing, that man is dead.
- Dead?
Who is he?
- I can tell you right now,
he did not give himself to
the Lord, I can tell you that.
- Where are you going, Red?
What happened?
- That man was not godly.
- Was he killed too,
like Tina?
- Christ Almighty!
- What happened to
Kevin?
- I used to work with him
over at the county coroner's
office.
- And then what?
- We got fired.
We all got fired.
- Why?
- One of the bodies they had
went missing.
We all suffered 'cause someone
didn't do what was right.
I know it was Kevin, though.
That man was not Godly.
- Why do you think Kevin's dead
now?
- I don't know.
He's been missing though, since-
I gotta get back to church.
- What's at church?
- Safety, by the Grace of God.
- Why wasn't he a Godly man?
- Shouldn't talk about stuff
like that with a little girl.
- I'm not so little.
- Yeah, that's what all
the little girls say.
- That was fucking
weird.
- Let's follow him.
- Red!
Red, please.
I'm looking for Samantha Wyland.
- Hey, Red.
- Why would you want to find
her?
- Can I help you?
- She's my mother.
- I'm sorry, you can't be
filming here without permission.
You're gonna have to leave.
- He knew all of
Sam's friends in that photo.
- Yeah, and it didn't
look like Shawn and Lori
had been home in a while either.
And why didn't Isaac tell
us Kevin was missing too?
- What the fuck is
happening, man?
- Isaac's lying.
I don't know why yet.
But of the people in that photo,
at least one is dead and two are
missing.
Maybe more.
Someone's targeting them, all of
them.
I hope we didn't get here too
late.
Isaac?
- Hey, Em.
The door's open.
- Isaac?
- Let me go in first.
Isaac?
Fuck.
Shit.
Emily?
Yo!
Isaac?
Shit, what the f-?
Emily, hey!
- What?
- What the hell is this?
You can't just walk in-
- Stay back, stay back!
- Fucking Sam.
She used to deal with them.
I don't know if she still does
or what,
but she did something to piss
them off.
- Like what?
- I just know they've
been fucking
with her and everyone she knows.
- Is that why they're coming
after me?
- He's scared.
- Yeah dude, I'm
getting a little scared myself.
- He said he didn't know
how
Sam's connected to Los
Carniceros,
and that she probably
pissed them off somehow.
- Geez Em, what
are we stepping into here?
- And do you think that
this is all correlated?
Officer, I'm just trying
to get more information ab-
The cops basically told us to
fuck off,
and that they filed a missing
person's report for Sam,
and that's pretty much
all that they can do.
And that the rats were poisoned.
It was either from the pig,
or it was from something that
they were using at the motel-
- Emily, this came for
you.
I just tried her again, no luck.
- Okay.
It's from Sam.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave."
- Huh?
- Sam didn't write this,
someone else wrote this.
- Em, you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
This is definitely not her.
- So you're saying someone
wrote this pretending to be Sam?
Why would they do that?
- They want me to stop looking
for her.
- Isn't it more likely
that your mother relapsed?
It can come out of nowhere,
just like some random thing.
Moments notice, triggers them.
Relapses are so incredibly
common.
I won't even tell you how many
times
I went through it with my
daughter.
- How many times did it take to
stick?
- Actually, it didn't.
She passed away.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh Ana, I'm so sorry.
- I just don't think that's what
this is.
- What do you think this
is?
- Where do Los Carniceros hang
out?
- Stop it,
dude. You're not stupid!
What is it you're trying to get
from this?
You want to know if she was
lying
to you about getting straight?
- I'm trying to figure out
whether my mother's dead.
- Jesus Christ, Em.
- Is it working?
- Just gimme a second.
Speak.
- Test, test.
- Yeah. Yeah, you're
good.
- Alright, it'll be fine.
- This is
fucking insane shit, man.
You know that, right?
- We're just following the
story.
I'll be fine.
- Hey, listen,
is there anything I can do
to fucking stop you, Em?
At the very least, I should
fucking be going in there with
you.
- Okay, if they see your
tattoos, they're gonna lose it.
We don't want them to feel
threatened.
- Yeah.
Yeah we fucking do, man.
- Wait for me.
- Fuck, man.
This is fucking stupid.
- I'm looking for
someone.
- No one here you
should be looking for.
- I'm looking for Sam
Wyland
Que dijo, you say Sam Wyland?
- Yeah.
Por que?
- She's my mom.
- You're Sam's kid?
- Yes.
- No, you're not.
- I am.
Do you know where she is?
- Hopefully in hell.
- Could you tell me-
- Shut the fuck up.
- Fuck!
Jesus fucking Christ, are you
okay?
I told you.
Fuck, man!
You need to go to a fucking
hospital.
- It's not my blood, go.
- Em, you alright?
You okay?
- Yeah.
- You're okay?
You want me to get you
something?
Fuck.
- Good.
Now, tell us what happened.
- They knew Sam.
They didn't know she was
missing.
- And where did all the blood
come from?
- They made me... uh
They made me drink pig's blood.
- Fuck, man.
- And then what happened?
- I don't remember, they just
let me go.
- They're sick fucks, man.
Sick fucking...
- You're safe now.
- Why would they do that?
- I should never have let you go
there.
- Ana.
It was my choice.
Do you think you could get me
some water?
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
- Yes.
- Yes, be right back.
- Em, I'm so sorry.
- I, I think I'm gonna be sick!
- Em!
- I was wrong.
Los Carniceros didn't have Sam.
I don't know where to go
from here, I really don't.
- You are okay though,
right?
- Mhm.
- Ah, it's that
Karen from the movie place.
- Who?
- It's Beth from Art-
- This is not like him,
something is off.
He left a note, but it's not
him.
- Isaac's gone and he left her a
letter.
- You thinking maybe
it's fake,
like your mom's letter?
- I mean, I don't even know
anymore,
but she wants to show
us something in there.
- It's in here.
- What the fu-
Jesus Christ, man.
Holy fuck.
What is this?
What the fuck is this shit?
- Have you told anyone
about this?
- No.
He's my husband.
- Is he selling it?
- Yeah.
- Wait, what?
- Is Sam involved?
- I don't know.
- Really?
You know what this means, right?
- Yeah.
Just help me find him.
- What the fuck are you
guys talking about, man?
Emily, come on.
Can you stop for a second?
- Don't want to talk about it.
- Why, Em?
Please, would you just talk to
me?
What the hell is going on-
- What in the name of
Christ is she doing here?
- Hey, hey!
- You okay?
Are you okay?
- Christ will protect!
Fucking shit, man!
Is everybody okay?
Emily!
Fucking shit, dude!
What was that, man?
That was crazy.
- How do you guys even
know Red?
- We were doing interviews
out back, and we ran into him.
- Was he violent towards you
then?
- No, but he did
seem a little weirded
out when I mentioned Sam was my
mom.
What?
- I need to take you
into my confidence here.
It's a little strange.
Red lives here, out back.
It's where he met your mom,
actually,
and they were fine together.
And then one day, Red just would
not
be in the same room with her.
- Why not?
- No idea.
- So this man has had it out for
my mom,
and you didn't think that was
something that I should know?
- Emily, he doesn't
have it out for your mom.
- Em?
- I wanna go back to the church.
- Oh, wait.
Red's church?
- Emily's mother has
disappeared,
and the police seem to believe
that Red may have information.
He became violent, and the
police took him to jail.
- We try to give
Red a safe place to rest.
We can't make it permanent,
because he'll lose his public
assistance.
And this is where he keeps his
things.
- Go ahead.
- Ana, take your time.
You know where to find me if you
need me.
- Thanks, Maria.
- Oh my God.
- I had no idea.
- Get all of this.
- What the fuck?
- Red has been keeping
busy.
- Em.
Em, isn't this...
- That's Tina Delgado.
- Get that.
What the fuck, man?
Isn't this?
- That's Kevin Brown.
Shawn and Lori.
- What the hell?
- Everyone from the
photo.
- Em, this is crazy.
- It's Isaac and Sam.
- What?
- Guys, he took Sam.
- Jesus Christ.
- We need to bail him out.
- What?
- Wait a minute.
- We could follow him.
- What are you doing,
man?
I gotta hope for your sake
Sam is somewhere else, dude.
- No, Tina Delgado-
- Because if this guy's
got her?
- Tina Delgado was missing for a
week,
and then she was pronounced
dead.
Sam could be alive somewhere.
- Emily, are you
kidding me? Look at this shit,
this is fucking serial killer
shit, dude!
On top of the gang shit, on
top of that fucking blood shit,
Em, you're not even talking
to me about it. Okay?
This is fucking stupid, no,
I'm not doing this anymore.
I'm not, I'm done.
I'm fucking don-
- Danny?
Danny?
- Jesus Christ.
Em, can you not right now,
Em, please can you not?
- I know.
No, honestly Danny.
- This shit goes way beyond
making
a fucking movie at this point,
dude.
- I know, and I'm sorry,
but I don't know what else to do
here.
You know I can't leave,
I have to do something.
- Yeah.
- Danny, she's my mom.
I don't have a choice.
- Okay.
Well then, what about the
choice you're asking me to make?
What about that choice?
You've seen those cops
at the motel, right?
You saw that?
- Yes.
- Do you know what happens if
they
catch me doing some shady shit?
Do you?
'Cause my life is fucked.
I'm done, that's it.
They immediately just fucking
rope me up
with those motherfuckers at the
bar.
I don't get a decision.
You understand that?
- I know.
- Yeah.
- Look, Danny,
if you need to go, go.
You don't have to stay.
- Oh yeah?
- You don't.
- Okay.
- I think she
was trying to be better,
for a little while at least,
and that's all I ever wanted,
you know?
And I need to try for her now.
- Fuck.
You're staying?
- Alright.
I'll try for you, Em.
But do me a favor,
Don't forget that I'm here too.
Okay?
- Yeah.
Can you see the police station
okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Good.
Have you ever tailed someone
before?
- Uh,
no, usually it's the other way
around.
You know?
- Danny?
- Oh shit, look.
- That's him.
- Yeah, but what is he
doing in a fucking taxi, man?
- Keep filming them.
- Alright,
- Ready?
- Ready.
Alright, let's go.
You got it on my side good.
Oh shit, low battery.
- Fuck, where is he?
- There, right there!
- Let me get around him.
Go, you asshole!
- Jesus, man. Fuck!
- Fuck, I lost him.
Do you see him?
- No.
I don't know, Em,
I think we lost him.
- Let's just go a little bit
further.
- Hey, that's the taxi!
- There he is.
- What is he doing?
Em, wait!
What are you doing, dude?
Shit.
- Look.
- What?
A. Stuart?
- Ana.
This is Ana's house.
- No.
Wait, is he breaking in?
Wait, Em!
Shit.
Em, that's enough.
Let's go.
- Look!
What is this doing here?
- This is
everything from Red's room.
What the fuck?
- Meet Louie.
- Jesus, man. My God!
- Is she not the cutest
pig you've ever seen?
You're a good girl.
- Ana?
Where's Red?
- He left out the back.
It's just as well he didn't run
into you.
He's still suspicious of you.
- About what?
- Em!
- What are you doing, Ana?
What?
What's happening?
- Em!
- Where's Sam?
- There's something I need you
to see.
Please.
- Okay, we should go.
Em, we need to get the fuck
outta here.
- What is it, Ana?
Is she here?
What are you doing?
- I'm trying to
explain everything to you,
but we have to go downstairs.
- Em!
- Come on, Danny.
It's okay.
- This is not okay.
This is the reason to
get the fuck outta here.
- Danny, don't be scared.
You can trust me.
- Emily?
Come on.
- Sam's here, Danny.
Come on.
You are gonna go down these
stairs and turn right.
- Shit!
- What was that?
- Jesus, man, my God.
- Whoa, whoa-
- Fuck!
- Danny, Danny.
- Ana, stop it-
- Danny, pick up the
camera.
Come on, lift it up.
- Okay.
- Alright, now listen.
You keep filming no matter
what happens, alright?
- Yeah, okay.
- It's very important.
- Got it.
- Alright.
Listen, I know this looks crazy,
you guys,
but I do not intend to harm you.
I just need you to understand
the seriousness of this whole
thing.
Alright? Okay?
- Okay.
- Good girl.
- We'll go downstairs.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck-
- Danny?
- Yeah?
- Just stay right behind her.
- Okay, okay, okay-
- Come on Danny.
- Okay, fuck!
- I'll be right down
to turn on that light.
- Come on.
- Jesus Christ, fuck.
- It's gonna be okay,
Danny.
- What is that?
- You guys just wait here.
- Emily.
- Em.
She locked us in.
Hey, come on in.
Come on.
- Oh my God.
- Calm down.
- Sam, are you okay?
- Shit!
- Keep filming.
- Okay, alright.
- You gotta stick with me,
buddy. Okay?
You need to be filming all this.
Come on, you need to be getting
this.
- Sam, look at me.
- Ana, what are you
doing to her?
- Emily!
- That is not your mother
anymore.
- Ana, why are you doing this?
- I'm gonna show you.
- Why are you doing this
to them?
- You'll see.
- Sam, are you hurt?
- I'm so sorry!
- Are you okay?
- I couldn't help myself.
- Ana, don't!
- What the hell is going
on here?
- She's crazy.
Oh my God, she's crazy.
- Fuck you.
- I'm so sorry,
I'm sorry.
- Red was right to
be afraid of your mother.
- I couldn't help it.
Danny?
- Yeah?
- I'm gonna need you to
stick with me here, buddy.
- All right, yeah.
- Okay, I need your help.
I need you to film this.
- Alright, alright.
- Come on closer.
- Okay.
- What the fuck?
- What are you doing?
- Now come here, come really
close.
- Okay, alright.
- Follow my hand.
- What the fuck?
- Get the fangs, get the
fangs.
- Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ.
- Come on, come on.
Come on now, let's get this one.
Get his fangs!
- What the hell is going
on, Em?
Em, are you seeing this? I
can't-
- Danny, I need you over here
with me.
I need you to stay with me.
I'm gonna want you in real close
on Sam.
- Okay, I'm filming.
- Come in real close. Okay?
- I'm filming.
- Ana, no.
- Emily, this is not your
mother.
- Ana, no!
- Wait, wait-
- No, no!
- Wait Ana, what
the hell are you doing?
- Watch it, watch it.
Keep watching.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck?
- Do you see it?
- Do you see?
- What the fuck is going
on?
- I'm so sorry.
- They're not human.
- Emily?
- They're sick.
All they care about is blood.
They'll do anything to get it.
These two got greedy.
That's how I clocked them.
They thought nobody would notice
what they were doing, right?
All the migrants, and homeless
people
and drug addicts, you know,
people who disappear every day.
They thought nobody would
notice or care, but I did.
- Look what she's doing.
- You're a very brave young
lady.
A lot of people, they would've
just left.
Do you know how to kill a
vampire?
- Emily, stop her.
- Wait, what the hell's
going on?
- Stop her!
- Ana, wait, what are
you doing?
- First you cut off the head
and then you remove the heart.
- Ana, please stop.
- Then you decimate the
body.
The pigs are good for that.
Emily, you need to watch this,
okay?
- No, no!
- Oh fuck.
- I'm so sorry,
sweetheart,
that you had to see that.
- You're fucking crazy,
- You need to get used to
it.
Worst part about it is they look
so human.
- You're fucking sick.
You're fucking sick.
- I am not the one who's sick.
Emily, this should be you.
- No, no, no.
She's not your mother anymore,
Emily.
You need to think of her like a
rabid dog.
You gotta put her down
before she hurts more people.
- Don't say that about
her.
- You cannot save her, honey.
This is the only way you can
help her.
- It's okay, she's right.
You know she's right.
- That's not true, Sam
- Oh, it's true.
The world's a safer
place without me in it.
Please, you have to do this.
- Em, don't listen to
her.
- I want you to,
you need to be the one-
- Don't fucking
listen to her, Emily!
Emily, don't.
- I need this to end.
It's okay-
- Emily, no!
- Danny, Danny, back!
- Emily,
Emily, don't fucking do it,
please!
Please don't do it.
- Please, sweetheart. End
this.
- Come on.
- Do it, come on.
- I'm sorry.
- Emily, don't!
- Just do it.
Please.
- Emily, what
the fuck are you doing?
She's your mother!
- Alright.
How many have you killed?
- As many as the keys on this
chain.
- What are they?
- In the handle of every key is
a keyhole.
And the key that fits there
belongs to whoever turned them.
And then this key fits in the
keyhole
of whoever they turned.
It's like a way of
tracking families, I think.
They're very proud of their
lineage.
- How do you know that?
- My daughter was a victim.
- She was killed?
- She was turned.
I killed her.
She didn't deserve that life.
- Do those keys come from locals
here?
- No, these are from all over.
I've been at this a long time.
They are addicted
just as much as the
humans that they feed on.
They will do anything to get a
fix,
including blow their own cover.
And that's when I find them.
Like Sam and Isaac, they killed
too many people for their blood
trade,
and couldn't hide it all.
- How do you catch them?
- My pigs.
I would leave a dead pig
soaked in human blood
wherever I thought it was high
risk.
- Human blood?
- Yeah, my own usually,
unless I could score some from
them,
if they were stupid enough to
sell it,
and Isaac was.
- I would think
pig's blood would be easier.
- Animal blood is like food for
them.
Human blood is their drug.
They can't resist it.
They get stronger from it
though.
So I would lace it with rat
poison,
which slows them down
and makes them more vulnerable
to capture.
The pigs in this part of the
world,
they're just good cover,
because everything I did was
assumed to be gang activity.
- You left one in our
room.
- Yes, I did.
And I want to apologize for
that.
I mean, you just showed
up from out of nowhere.
You were strangers, you were
asking all kinds of questions.
You know, I had to be sure.
And then I saw the way this one
ate candy,
and I felt a lot safer.
- What do you mean?
- They can't eat human
food, it makes them sick.
- We had dinner
with Sam, we saw her eat.
- You thought you did,
but I assure you, you did not.
- Jesus Christ.
Fuck.
- Red?
How much does he know?
- He was helping me track
all the vampires here,
but I underestimated him.
I think he's onto something
bigger.
A complex system for
harvesting the most vulnerable.
Drug addicts, like my girl,
migrants and homeless, and gang
members.
You know, anybody who can die
or disappear without a lot of
scrutiny.
And these days that's a pretty
big pot.
That's why I need you.
I feel like we could go public
with this.
The proof that is on that
camera.
I need you on my team.
I know you could be a great
hunter.
- Em?
- I think so too.
- Em?
- I just wanted to check her
mic.
- What the fuck?
Em, what the fuck?
Emily!
Em!
Please, Emily!
Emily!
No!
- Regulator 1015J breaking cover
with the elimination of my
decoy, Danny.
Danny Martinez.
Mission summary.
On October 30th,
119NM Coven member
Samantha Wyland reported
the destruction of fellow
coven member Tina Delgado,
citing possible hunter activity.
I was dispatched by the
Commission
due to my relationship with
Wyland and my connection
to the members of this
coven to investigate.
My findings conclude that Tina
Delgado
was the victim of a hunter who
discovered
the El Paso Las Cruces District,
as a result of the illegal
blood poaching operations
carried out by coven leader
Isaac Koslov
and Sam Wyland.
The hunter has been eliminated.
Isaac Koslov and Samantha Wyland
will be destroyed and desecrated
justly,
according to regulation code
687,
under the Articles of the
Commission.
My cover has been compromised.
I'm requesting a new Regulator
for the investigation
and the elimination of
the remaining threat.
I can't.
I can't be part of this system
anymore.
This isn't safety.
This is...
Consider this my resignation.
- We have a problem.
I can't...
I can't be part of this system
anymore.
- Okay, here's the deal.
Like, you go,
I go, 'cause I can't take
this shit the whole ride.
- Okay.
I like this.
What are you doing?
- This light is
beautiful, man.
Hey, who knew ...
Who knew hoopty tinted windows
could make good filters,
right Captain?
- Are you making fun of my car?
- Oh no, I am sorry.
I thought that was clear, yeah.
- You're fired.
- Already?
Oh no!
Shit, dude, that's a record for
me, man.
Ah, look at that view.
Oh yeah ...
Actually, can you pull over for
a second?
- Right here?
- Yeah.
- For what?
- B roll, man. Come on!
- Okay, give me a
second.
- Oh my God, man,
look at this ...
- We should get going.
- You know what you call
that?
Production value.
The lighting's beautiful out
here, dude.
You come out here a lot as a
kid?
- Sometimes.
- Sometimes?
No, if I lived here, man
I'd be out here all the time.
- You're right though.
The lighting is great.
- I feel like you're trying
to tell me something, boss.
- I'm about to
leave you in the desert.
- I don't wanna
push you. I get it, alright?
But this is about you
reconnecting with your mom,
right?
So why not just get it in
this light, it's beautiful?
- Who's the director?
- Definitely, definitely
you.
Okay, definitely you.
But you said cinema verit,
okay?
That's all I'm trying to do.
I'm just trying to get something
that feels real, you know?
- Okay, fine.
- Yeah?
- Go.
- Alright, one second.
Let me just turn this off.
So, how did this all start?
- So I got this letter from my
mom
saying that she is still
living in Las Cruces,
and that she wants me to
come for Thanksgiving, and
and that she's clean.
- So, how old
were you when you left?
- I was about 13 when they
took me away from her.
- Wow, what happened?
- She ...
- She's an addict.
You know, she's not a bad
person.
She just made a lot of bad
choices and hurt a lot of
people.
- Mm.
She's okay with us filming?
- Yeah, she seems fine with it.
I think she understands
where I'm coming from.
- Cool, cool, cool.
Mom stuff, it's hard.
- Yeah.
- You know, when my
brother and I were little,
my mom got deported.
We didn't get to see her much
after that.
- Sorry.
- No, don't be, we
still get to talk and stuff.
Actually, she lives pretty
close to Las Cruces.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I mean,
on the other side of the wall.
- Do you have something to
share with the class, or?
- Seriously, you want
some?
- Yeah.
- Whoa, motherfucking
cock, are you kidding?
Is it weird for you to be back?
- Yeah.
- Mm.
You nervous?
- I mean, yeah.
You know...
the idea of seeing my mom was a
lot.
- I get it.
- Some really dark stuff
happened
when we were last together,
but when I started thinking
about it -
us reuniting - as a film,
it started to feel less scary.
You know, I thought I
could use it as a way
to understand her in a way
that I couldn't in the past.
- Oh yeah?
It feels so empty here.
- Hm.
- Doesn't seem
like anybody's home.
- She's here.
Hi Sam.
- Hi.
- Could you get the stuff out of
the car?
- This is almost set.
You from LA too?
Dan?
Danny?
- Boyle Heights, yeah.
- How long have you been
living in Boyle Heights?
Hi.
- Hi.
- It's almost ready.
Voila.
- Get cutaways of these.
Let me know if this is enough.
- Oh wow, thank
you so much Ms. Wyland.
- I hope it's cooked.
- Thank you for letting me
be a part of your dinner.
- I think there's more
of that if you want.
So you guys made good
time getting over here?
- We didn't stop much.
- Well, Happy Thanksgiving,
guys.
- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Okay guys.
- Pardon my reach, Ms. Wyland.
- Can you say
something into your mic?
I need to get your levels.
- What do you want me to say?
- That's great.
Ready, Sam?
Can you start by saying
your name to camera?
- My name is Sam.
My name is Samantha Wyland.
- Good.
I'm gonna start with some
very broad questions.
You've lived in Las
Cruces for a long time...
What does it mean to you now?
- Sorry, Miss Wyland,
I need you to not fiddle
with your mic, I'm sorry.
No touching.
- Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
Sorry.
- It's all good, all
good.
- What was the question, what?
- Las Cruces.
What does it mean to you now?
- Okay, let's see.
It's home.
It's home.
I've lived here a long
time, most of my life.
There's memories here.
There's a lot of good memories
and a lot of real fucked up
memories too.
Sorry, sorry.
Bad ones.
Bad memories.
History's heavy here.
It's real heavy.
- What's been going
on here that makes it...?
- Can I tell you why I wrote
that letter?
Please.
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
About a month ago,
a friend of mine,
a dear friend, Tina Delgado,
she went missing for about a
week.
I didn't know it at the time,
but I guess she'd been involved
with some pretty bad people,
and we found out
that that's what got her killed.
And I know that at one point,
that could have easily
been me instead of her.
So...
- Sorry.
- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry about everything
that I've put you through.
And I wanted to be the kind of
person
that did the decent thing.
And that's why I sent you that
letter,
because I wanna make it right
with you.
I wanna just make it right with
you.
- Sam, do you think
you're that person now?
- Yeah.
I think I am now.
- What changed?
What changed for you?
- I got clean.
And I got a job, I got a steady
job,
and a community.
- Doing what?
- Administrative stuff, just at
this
community organization
that runs a rehab clinic,
and sometimes they ask me to
talk to people about
what I've been through.
- What do you tell 'em?
- Just that I know how hard it
is,
'cause I've been there and
I've come out the other side,
and um ... they always got
someone looking after 'em.
- Do you ever tell
them that you used to send
your daughter to clinics to
score for you?
Or that when she'd take some for
herself,
you didn't care enough to stop
her?
- We never had a chance, did we?
- Sorry.
- We never had a chance.
Can I take this off?
- Yeah, take it off.
- I dunno how to take this off?
- That's okay.
- Thank you
- You take care of her, good?
- She's a tough
one, your daughter.
- You okay?
- Can you stop, please?
- We should probably get
this, Em.
- Hey.
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Maybe you can come to the clinic
tomorrow
to see what I do, yeah?
Might make you feel
better about all of this.
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Okay, okay.
Alright, alright.
- You okay?
- Can you cut?
- Look, I'm
sorry. Alright? I just,
I saw a real moment, you know?
You don't gotta be embarrassed
with me.
- Tomorrow, we should
still get that B roll
and those interviews before we
go in.
- Yeah, yeah, of course,
sure.
Fuck.
- I overreacted.
I'm sorry.
I spoke to Sam.
There's nothing new, as I
expected.
You said coming here wouldn't be
an issue if I didn't make it
one,
but it's hard being back.
It's harder than I thought.
I just wanted to say that for
the record.
- Yeah, it's gonna look
amazing.
- Cool, cool. Let
me just check something.
- Hey, sorry about last
night.
It was a lot of heavy stuff
all at once, you know?
- Hey, you know that shit she
was saying about her friend,
like about how it could
have been her, you know?
- Yeah.
- That shit fucking hit me, man.
My dad,
he's just an addict, man,
and a fucking druggie
My brother, he just got involved
in gang shit really early on,
and I did too, you know?
I didn't even think about
it, man. It was just,
It's just what you did.
But I had an aunt.
She would look out, you know,
give me a place to sleep every
once in a while if I needed it.
And I had this teacher.
She told me she thought I was
talented
You know?
And that was it, man.
That was the difference, you
know?
I got out because of her,
and I wasn't a saint, you know,
not by any means, but ...
And life was hard,
But I am not in prison, like my
brother,
and I'm not in the fucking
ground like my dad.
- I think you should
give yourself some more credit.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
I mean, you had all those
people to support you,
but it was you that made the
good choices.
- Yeah, well,
shit could have gone real
different real quick,
if it wasn't for those women...
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- I didn't have anyone.
I actually reported Sam myself.
Choice a grown woman couldn't
make.
- Well, not everyone's
got such big balls, man.
You okay?
- Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
- Alright.
If you're ever not okay, you
tell me.
Uh?
- Mhm.
I will.
- Listen.
You better fucking use this,
okay?
Because this time lapse is
beautiful.
And if you don't cut
it in, I'm gonna be pi-
You wanna do another sit
down when we get there?
- No, I think we should
just let her take us around.
This runs down past the
cemetery.
- So your mom-
- Good, are we good?
- Excuse me?
- Hi, we're here to see Samantha
Wyland-
- Excuse me, can I help you?
- Yes, we were told to
meet Samantha Wyland.
- Yeah, but you can't
have that on in here.
- Sorry.
- Is it off?
- Yes ma'am.
- You're here to see Sam?
- Yes, I'm her daughter.
- Her daughter?
Oh, it looks like she did
call out this morning.
She told you to meet her here?
- Uh yeah, but
that was last night.
I haven't been able to
get ahold of her today.
- So you're visiting from out of
town?
- Sort of, I... um...
We're out here making a
documentary
about my mom and I reconnecting.
I'm actually from here
originally.
I lived here with Sam
until I was about 13.
- Oh, I feel bad.
I didn't know she even had a
daughter.
- Since we're
here, I was wondering
if maybe we could interview you.
I would love to hear your
thoughts on my mom's work here.
Wireless mic, right?
- Yep.
- Okay.
- Oh, do you mind if I just?
- No, no.
- Yeah.
- Alright.
- Alright, if we could
start with
your name and your position
here.
- My name is Ana Stuart,
and I am the program director
for rehabilitation services
here at the Hooper Center
in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
- And can you go
into detail about your work?
- Hmm, sure.
The Hooper Center is a
campus of nonprofits,
and they all work together to
provide
an array of services for the
unhoused
and vulnerable populations
of Doa Ana County.
- How do you help them?
- We provide support to
those who are struggling
with addiction and or
mental health challenges.
You know, I just found this out
recently
that there was a sanitarium
here,
like in the old days, like
forever.
It was just torn down like in
the sixties.
- You mean,
like a mental hospital?
- I guess what I meant is
there have been people here
trying to help people
for a very long time.
I get to watch people
transform into leaders,
who then help themselves, and
step in
and help others.
I got to see your mother do
that.
- She mentioned
something, yeah.
- She's done really good work
here.
- And could you
tell me more about that?
- Oh, I really do have to go
now.
I'm so sorry.
- That was great, thank
so much.
- Listen, are you gonna
be here a few days?
Well, why don't you call up,
make an appointment, and we'll
show you around the campus.
Would you like that?
- Actually, do
you think there's anyone
else we could talk to
right now who knows Sam?
- I'm sorry, Ana do you mind if
I just?
- No, of course.
Help yourself.
Try the camp out back,
she knows some of them.
- Thank you so much,
Ana.
- Have you been able to
reach her?
- No, I keep getting
voicemail.
It's a documentary.
Would you like to be in it, Mr.,
uh?
- Red.
- Red.
- Brother, we just need you
to stand right on that mark.
And then just have a
conversation
with the lovely young lady.
- Okay.
- Camera set.
- Hi Jennifer,
thank you for doing this.
So, why don't you tell me your
name and where you're from-
- My name is Jennifer Anderson,
and I am from, I'm from,
I was born in Silver City,
but I've lived a lot of
different places
and foster homes and hospitals.
- Charlene Garrick,
and I'm from Salt Lake, Utah.
- From Maui.
- Maui?
- Hawaii, really?
- I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah.
- Do you know Sam Wyland
who works here at the Hooper
Center?
- I do not.
- Okay.
- Yes, I know Sam.
- Oh.
Sam's great.
- She's very strong.
- Yeah?
- But she's also, you know,
very helpful and very nice.
- She's a good person.
- She helps out here.
- Yeah.
- And she's just told me
that she
lost a friend recently to
violence,
and I was just curious,
do you feel safe here?
- Sometimes I see violence
that I never seen in Hawaii.
- I mean, you hear like all
these stories,
people getting abducted
and stuff, you know?
- Two weeks ago I heard
that a girl was like,
from the, you know,
up to her throat.
It was pretty crazy.
Like, I was thinking like,
what if that was my friend?
It could have been my friend.
What if it was one of my
friends?
It's something very hard to
face.
Like, I've been chronically
homeless for 10 years,
and so I've lost a lot of
people.
- I get a little scared,
'cause there's a guy that
used to follow me around.
- What do you think of
the people here in Las Cruces?
- They pretend, but
they can't hide from me.
And they can't hide from
Jesus, not for much longer.
- Thank you so much,
Red.
- Was that it?
- Thank you, Sir.
Las Cruces man.
Are you afraid of a relapse?
- I don't know.
Let's just see if she's home.
It's open.
Hello?
Hello?
Sam?
You check the living room,
and I'll check the bedrooms.
- Yeah, sure.
- Hey Em, anything?
- She's not here.
- Okay.
- Hey, Em!
Em, come here real quick.
- Okay.
What?
- Take a look at that
shelf.
Wasn't there a photo there
yesterday?
- Yeah, there was.
Let's check the footage.
That's it.
- Wait, look.
- Oh my God.
- You know any of these
guys?
- No, but I think that's
Tina,
the one who died.
- Why the fuck
would she burn it like that?
- That's a good question.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You take care of her good?
- She's a tough
one, your daughter.
- Maybe you can come
to the clinic tomorrow
to see what I do?
It might make you feel
better about all of this.
- You're looking for
clues?
- Hmm.
Okay, yeah.
- Maybe she just needs
her time.
She'll show up.
We got some pretty good
stuff already, right?
Huh?
Yeah?
Uh-oh, she likes it!
Oh, wow.
Hey, so are you happy you hired
this kid?
- You can cut.
- Alright, this is some magic
hour B roll.
It's fucking creepy.
Alright, let's lighten
the mood a little bit,
do a little tour of our lovely
motel.
This is where we're staying.
First we have, well,
this is where the bed
mites live, probably.
So there's that.
That is the one-burner stove.
Who's that handsome guy?
Okay.
You guys don't see me often.
I'm here, I swear.
There we go.
And then we have the bathroom
that I refuse to go into.
- ...human
smuggling operation...
- This is the TV,
you have two channels.
And this is our ugly
ass base of operations.
Our fearless leader.
What are you doing?
You worried she got pinched?
- I'm just looking.
I'll try her cell one more time.
- Yeah, do that.
Nothing?
Hey, am I crazy?
This is the same place from
your mom's photo, right?
- That's it.
- Right?
- Yeah.
- Hey!
- Hey, excuse me.
What the hell are you doing?
- I'm sorry, what?
- You cannot film here.
- Oh, I didn't know-
- Okay, get out.
Turn this thing off-
- Don't touch
the camera, please relax.
- Turn it off and get out of
here.
- Okay.
- Do you want me to throw you
out?
- What's the problem?
- You can't film here.
I need to check with Isaac
first.
- Okay fine, who is
Isaac?
- He's my husband, he's the
owner.
- Is he here?
- No, but he'll be back
tomorrow.
- Great, we'll check in with him
tomorrow.
Are you friends with Sam Wyland?
- Yeah.
- Have you seen her
around lately?
- She was here last week.
- Have you seen her since?
- No.
- We appreciate
your time, thank you.
- She was in Sam's photo
- That fucking Karen?
- Yeah.
- Yo, what if
she was acting real crazy
'cause she knows something about
Sam
she doesn't want you to know?
- Like what?
- I don't know, like she
went
on a fucking bender or
something.
What's up?
- Do you smell that?
- Smell what?
- It's coming from in here.
- Oh, Jesus fuck!
Hell, that's fucking nasty,
dude.
That's fucking nasty.
What?
- I can't.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck is this shit?
Sir, I don't know what to tell
you.
What do you want me to say?
- Don't get smart with
me, Son.
- Listen, I'm not trying
to get smart with you,
man, I'm just fucking tired-
- Dude, I don't give a
fuck.
Just lift up your sleeve, Son.
The other one.
- Yeah, sure.
Happy?
I'm getting that shit removed.
- Is that fucking
right, huh?
You're sticking to your same
story?
- There's no story for
me to stick to, man!
- You don't know
anything about
the Carniceros hit two nights
ago?
- We're out here from Los
Angeles.
We came out here to make
a fucking movie, okay?
I don't know anything about
any of that other shit.
We came back to find a fucking
pig head
in our fucking bathroom, and
that's it.
- Anything, nothing?
- We don't have anything
available.
- Okay.
We're gonna have to find
another place to stay tonight.
- Yeah, it's okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Ana!
- Don't run up on people in the
dark.
- I'm so sorry.
- Is everything okay?
- Do you know Los Carniceros?
They said that they think it's
this gang that left the pig?
- Yeah, it's an
intimidation tactic.
They're a local gang,
and they're hooked up
with a cartel across the border.
Very violent.
- Do you think Sam was
ever involved with them?
Like, did she mention them to
you?
- No, I mean,
not that I know of, no.
- I still can't find
her.
- Okay, yeah,
you and Danny stay here tonight,
and then in the morning we'll
see what we can find out.
- What is that?
- It was just something I found
at Sam's.
I forgot I had it in my pocket.
- You know what it does?
Or what it's for?
- I have no idea.
- Kind of weird looking, huh?
- Alright, so.
What's the plan, boss?
- I think that we should
go back to Beth and Isaac's
and see if they heard anything
from Sam.
- Yeah.
- And if they don't got
anything good to say about her?
- I guess that's just
where the story goes.
- Alright.
Cool, man.
What?
- You okay with this?
- This is a fucking upgrade,
dude.
There's no mice here, there's a
shower.
I like it, man.
Thanks boss, gracias.
- Someone doesn't want
us here.
That, or it's some kind of test.
I'm not sure, but it's clear
that there's
something going on
beyond what Sam told me.
I don't know why I'm
surprised about that, but-
- Yo Em, where are you?
- I'll see what
I can find out tomorrow.
- You seen my lens cap?
- Yeah.
- Like, what even
is this place though?
- This does not seem
like a place
Sam would hang out at, like at
all,
but I don't know, she always
surprises me.
- Welcome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- This is Isaac.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Beth tells me you are making a
movie.
- Yeah, we just wanted to
ask you a couple questions.
- Great.
Welcome, this is it.
- Nice.
- This is my office.
Do you want to talk over there?
- No, here's fine.
Just wanted to ask a couple
questions.
- No problem, do I talk to you?
- You just talk to me, it's
fine.
- Yeah, sure.
I've known Sam a long time.
- I was wondering,
do you remember taking this?
- Yes.
- Do you know why
Sam would want to destroy it?
- What do you mean?
- We found the original
copy
burned up in our ashtray.
- I really couldn't tell you.
- Are the rest of the
people
in this photo still around?
- All except Tina.
- Yeah, Sam did mention her to
me.
She said that she was killed.
- Yeah, it was terrible.
It hit Sammy really hard.
- Do you know where she
might be?
Because we haven't been able
to get ahold of her for two days
now.
- Sammy tends to avoid stuff
when things get kinda too much.
Seeing you again was
probably tough for her.
- Did Sam ever deal with any
members of Los Carniceros?
- Who?
- The gang in the area?
- No, not Sammy.
I wouldn't worry.
She might just be taking
some time, you know?
- Well, do you
think you could help me
find the rest of the people in
this photo?
- Sure, Shawn and Lori.
- Danny.
- Shawn.
They're a little further out,
but I'm sure they wouldn't
mind you stopping by.
Is there anything else you need?
- I think that's it, I think
we're done.
- Okay.
- Hey, he didn't seem
too worried,
huh?
- Yeah, he didn't.
- You think he's
playing?
- Okay.
Thank you, we will be
there shortly, thank you.
Okay, bye-bye.
That was the police.
They said that we can go back to
the motel and get the rest of
our stuff.
- Right now?
- Yeah
- Fucking shit...
- We have time, finish.
- It's okay, I'll just pick it
up.
- We'll be super
quick. Thank you, officer.
- What the fuck?
Em?
Shit-
- Danny, come on, get
your stuff.
- Emily?
They were all eating on that
fucking pig.
- So you think the pig was sick?
- I don't know, I don't
know.
- Well, look, the police
bagged 'em, so if there's
something worth figuring
out, we'll know soon.
- Emily, you don't
find this shit weird at all?
- It's Cruces.
- Do you ever worry
Sam's working at that place for
the drugs?
- I don't know.
I just know that's where
she used to get it.
Hey, can you give me the address
again?
The one from Isaac?
- Yeah, what?
Shawn and Lori?
- Hello?
Red?
- Hello friends.
- Hi, Red.
- In the flesh.
- We were just looking
for the people who live here.
Shawn and Lori?
- Oh yeah, I know.
They ain't home right now.
Don't worry, they don't
mind me helping myself
every once in a while.
- Hey, Red.
You know any of the
people in this photo, man?
- You shouldn't have just
handed that to him like that.
- Yeah, I know a bunch of
them.
- Ask me next time.
- Sure.
- That's Tina Delgado, Beth and
Isaac.
That's Kevin Brown.
- Kevin?
Do you know where we can find
him?
- God willing, that man is dead.
- Dead?
Who is he?
- I can tell you right now,
he did not give himself to
the Lord, I can tell you that.
- Where are you going, Red?
What happened?
- That man was not godly.
- Was he killed too,
like Tina?
- Christ Almighty!
- What happened to
Kevin?
- I used to work with him
over at the county coroner's
office.
- And then what?
- We got fired.
We all got fired.
- Why?
- One of the bodies they had
went missing.
We all suffered 'cause someone
didn't do what was right.
I know it was Kevin, though.
That man was not Godly.
- Why do you think Kevin's dead
now?
- I don't know.
He's been missing though, since-
I gotta get back to church.
- What's at church?
- Safety, by the Grace of God.
- Why wasn't he a Godly man?
- Shouldn't talk about stuff
like that with a little girl.
- I'm not so little.
- Yeah, that's what all
the little girls say.
- That was fucking
weird.
- Let's follow him.
- Red!
Red, please.
I'm looking for Samantha Wyland.
- Hey, Red.
- Why would you want to find
her?
- Can I help you?
- She's my mother.
- I'm sorry, you can't be
filming here without permission.
You're gonna have to leave.
- He knew all of
Sam's friends in that photo.
- Yeah, and it didn't
look like Shawn and Lori
had been home in a while either.
And why didn't Isaac tell
us Kevin was missing too?
- What the fuck is
happening, man?
- Isaac's lying.
I don't know why yet.
But of the people in that photo,
at least one is dead and two are
missing.
Maybe more.
Someone's targeting them, all of
them.
I hope we didn't get here too
late.
Isaac?
- Hey, Em.
The door's open.
- Isaac?
- Let me go in first.
Isaac?
Fuck.
Shit.
Emily?
Yo!
Isaac?
Shit, what the f-?
Emily, hey!
- What?
- What the hell is this?
You can't just walk in-
- Stay back, stay back!
- Fucking Sam.
She used to deal with them.
I don't know if she still does
or what,
but she did something to piss
them off.
- Like what?
- I just know they've
been fucking
with her and everyone she knows.
- Is that why they're coming
after me?
- He's scared.
- Yeah dude, I'm
getting a little scared myself.
- He said he didn't know
how
Sam's connected to Los
Carniceros,
and that she probably
pissed them off somehow.
- Geez Em, what
are we stepping into here?
- And do you think that
this is all correlated?
Officer, I'm just trying
to get more information ab-
The cops basically told us to
fuck off,
and that they filed a missing
person's report for Sam,
and that's pretty much
all that they can do.
And that the rats were poisoned.
It was either from the pig,
or it was from something that
they were using at the motel-
- Emily, this came for
you.
I just tried her again, no luck.
- Okay.
It's from Sam.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave."
- Huh?
- Sam didn't write this,
someone else wrote this.
- Em, you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
This is definitely not her.
- So you're saying someone
wrote this pretending to be Sam?
Why would they do that?
- They want me to stop looking
for her.
- Isn't it more likely
that your mother relapsed?
It can come out of nowhere,
just like some random thing.
Moments notice, triggers them.
Relapses are so incredibly
common.
I won't even tell you how many
times
I went through it with my
daughter.
- How many times did it take to
stick?
- Actually, it didn't.
She passed away.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh Ana, I'm so sorry.
- I just don't think that's what
this is.
- What do you think this
is?
- Where do Los Carniceros hang
out?
- Stop it,
dude. You're not stupid!
What is it you're trying to get
from this?
You want to know if she was
lying
to you about getting straight?
- I'm trying to figure out
whether my mother's dead.
- Jesus Christ, Em.
- Is it working?
- Just gimme a second.
Speak.
- Test, test.
- Yeah. Yeah, you're
good.
- Alright, it'll be fine.
- This is
fucking insane shit, man.
You know that, right?
- We're just following the
story.
I'll be fine.
- Hey, listen,
is there anything I can do
to fucking stop you, Em?
At the very least, I should
fucking be going in there with
you.
- Okay, if they see your
tattoos, they're gonna lose it.
We don't want them to feel
threatened.
- Yeah.
Yeah we fucking do, man.
- Wait for me.
- Fuck, man.
This is fucking stupid.
- I'm looking for
someone.
- No one here you
should be looking for.
- I'm looking for Sam
Wyland
Que dijo, you say Sam Wyland?
- Yeah.
Por que?
- She's my mom.
- You're Sam's kid?
- Yes.
- No, you're not.
- I am.
Do you know where she is?
- Hopefully in hell.
- Could you tell me-
- Shut the fuck up.
- Fuck!
Jesus fucking Christ, are you
okay?
I told you.
Fuck, man!
You need to go to a fucking
hospital.
- It's not my blood, go.
- Em, you alright?
You okay?
- Yeah.
- You're okay?
You want me to get you
something?
Fuck.
- Good.
Now, tell us what happened.
- They knew Sam.
They didn't know she was
missing.
- And where did all the blood
come from?
- They made me... uh
They made me drink pig's blood.
- Fuck, man.
- And then what happened?
- I don't remember, they just
let me go.
- They're sick fucks, man.
Sick fucking...
- You're safe now.
- Why would they do that?
- I should never have let you go
there.
- Ana.
It was my choice.
Do you think you could get me
some water?
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
- Yes.
- Yes, be right back.
- Em, I'm so sorry.
- I, I think I'm gonna be sick!
- Em!
- I was wrong.
Los Carniceros didn't have Sam.
I don't know where to go
from here, I really don't.
- You are okay though,
right?
- Mhm.
- Ah, it's that
Karen from the movie place.
- Who?
- It's Beth from Art-
- This is not like him,
something is off.
He left a note, but it's not
him.
- Isaac's gone and he left her a
letter.
- You thinking maybe
it's fake,
like your mom's letter?
- I mean, I don't even know
anymore,
but she wants to show
us something in there.
- It's in here.
- What the fu-
Jesus Christ, man.
Holy fuck.
What is this?
What the fuck is this shit?
- Have you told anyone
about this?
- No.
He's my husband.
- Is he selling it?
- Yeah.
- Wait, what?
- Is Sam involved?
- I don't know.
- Really?
You know what this means, right?
- Yeah.
Just help me find him.
- What the fuck are you
guys talking about, man?
Emily, come on.
Can you stop for a second?
- Don't want to talk about it.
- Why, Em?
Please, would you just talk to
me?
What the hell is going on-
- What in the name of
Christ is she doing here?
- Hey, hey!
- You okay?
Are you okay?
- Christ will protect!
Fucking shit, man!
Is everybody okay?
Emily!
Fucking shit, dude!
What was that, man?
That was crazy.
- How do you guys even
know Red?
- We were doing interviews
out back, and we ran into him.
- Was he violent towards you
then?
- No, but he did
seem a little weirded
out when I mentioned Sam was my
mom.
What?
- I need to take you
into my confidence here.
It's a little strange.
Red lives here, out back.
It's where he met your mom,
actually,
and they were fine together.
And then one day, Red just would
not
be in the same room with her.
- Why not?
- No idea.
- So this man has had it out for
my mom,
and you didn't think that was
something that I should know?
- Emily, he doesn't
have it out for your mom.
- Em?
- I wanna go back to the church.
- Oh, wait.
Red's church?
- Emily's mother has
disappeared,
and the police seem to believe
that Red may have information.
He became violent, and the
police took him to jail.
- We try to give
Red a safe place to rest.
We can't make it permanent,
because he'll lose his public
assistance.
And this is where he keeps his
things.
- Go ahead.
- Ana, take your time.
You know where to find me if you
need me.
- Thanks, Maria.
- Oh my God.
- I had no idea.
- Get all of this.
- What the fuck?
- Red has been keeping
busy.
- Em.
Em, isn't this...
- That's Tina Delgado.
- Get that.
What the fuck, man?
Isn't this?
- That's Kevin Brown.
Shawn and Lori.
- What the hell?
- Everyone from the
photo.
- Em, this is crazy.
- It's Isaac and Sam.
- What?
- Guys, he took Sam.
- Jesus Christ.
- We need to bail him out.
- What?
- Wait a minute.
- We could follow him.
- What are you doing,
man?
I gotta hope for your sake
Sam is somewhere else, dude.
- No, Tina Delgado-
- Because if this guy's
got her?
- Tina Delgado was missing for a
week,
and then she was pronounced
dead.
Sam could be alive somewhere.
- Emily, are you
kidding me? Look at this shit,
this is fucking serial killer
shit, dude!
On top of the gang shit, on
top of that fucking blood shit,
Em, you're not even talking
to me about it. Okay?
This is fucking stupid, no,
I'm not doing this anymore.
I'm not, I'm done.
I'm fucking don-
- Danny?
Danny?
- Jesus Christ.
Em, can you not right now,
Em, please can you not?
- I know.
No, honestly Danny.
- This shit goes way beyond
making
a fucking movie at this point,
dude.
- I know, and I'm sorry,
but I don't know what else to do
here.
You know I can't leave,
I have to do something.
- Yeah.
- Danny, she's my mom.
I don't have a choice.
- Okay.
Well then, what about the
choice you're asking me to make?
What about that choice?
You've seen those cops
at the motel, right?
You saw that?
- Yes.
- Do you know what happens if
they
catch me doing some shady shit?
Do you?
'Cause my life is fucked.
I'm done, that's it.
They immediately just fucking
rope me up
with those motherfuckers at the
bar.
I don't get a decision.
You understand that?
- I know.
- Yeah.
- Look, Danny,
if you need to go, go.
You don't have to stay.
- Oh yeah?
- You don't.
- Okay.
- I think she
was trying to be better,
for a little while at least,
and that's all I ever wanted,
you know?
And I need to try for her now.
- Fuck.
You're staying?
- Alright.
I'll try for you, Em.
But do me a favor,
Don't forget that I'm here too.
Okay?
- Yeah.
Can you see the police station
okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Good.
Have you ever tailed someone
before?
- Uh,
no, usually it's the other way
around.
You know?
- Danny?
- Oh shit, look.
- That's him.
- Yeah, but what is he
doing in a fucking taxi, man?
- Keep filming them.
- Alright,
- Ready?
- Ready.
Alright, let's go.
You got it on my side good.
Oh shit, low battery.
- Fuck, where is he?
- There, right there!
- Let me get around him.
Go, you asshole!
- Jesus, man. Fuck!
- Fuck, I lost him.
Do you see him?
- No.
I don't know, Em,
I think we lost him.
- Let's just go a little bit
further.
- Hey, that's the taxi!
- There he is.
- What is he doing?
Em, wait!
What are you doing, dude?
Shit.
- Look.
- What?
A. Stuart?
- Ana.
This is Ana's house.
- No.
Wait, is he breaking in?
Wait, Em!
Shit.
Em, that's enough.
Let's go.
- Look!
What is this doing here?
- This is
everything from Red's room.
What the fuck?
- Meet Louie.
- Jesus, man. My God!
- Is she not the cutest
pig you've ever seen?
You're a good girl.
- Ana?
Where's Red?
- He left out the back.
It's just as well he didn't run
into you.
He's still suspicious of you.
- About what?
- Em!
- What are you doing, Ana?
What?
What's happening?
- Em!
- Where's Sam?
- There's something I need you
to see.
Please.
- Okay, we should go.
Em, we need to get the fuck
outta here.
- What is it, Ana?
Is she here?
What are you doing?
- I'm trying to
explain everything to you,
but we have to go downstairs.
- Em!
- Come on, Danny.
It's okay.
- This is not okay.
This is the reason to
get the fuck outta here.
- Danny, don't be scared.
You can trust me.
- Emily?
Come on.
- Sam's here, Danny.
Come on.
You are gonna go down these
stairs and turn right.
- Shit!
- What was that?
- Jesus, man, my God.
- Whoa, whoa-
- Fuck!
- Danny, Danny.
- Ana, stop it-
- Danny, pick up the
camera.
Come on, lift it up.
- Okay.
- Alright, now listen.
You keep filming no matter
what happens, alright?
- Yeah, okay.
- It's very important.
- Got it.
- Alright.
Listen, I know this looks crazy,
you guys,
but I do not intend to harm you.
I just need you to understand
the seriousness of this whole
thing.
Alright? Okay?
- Okay.
- Good girl.
- We'll go downstairs.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck-
- Danny?
- Yeah?
- Just stay right behind her.
- Okay, okay, okay-
- Come on Danny.
- Okay, fuck!
- I'll be right down
to turn on that light.
- Come on.
- Jesus Christ, fuck.
- It's gonna be okay,
Danny.
- What is that?
- You guys just wait here.
- Emily.
- Em.
She locked us in.
Hey, come on in.
Come on.
- Oh my God.
- Calm down.
- Sam, are you okay?
- Shit!
- Keep filming.
- Okay, alright.
- You gotta stick with me,
buddy. Okay?
You need to be filming all this.
Come on, you need to be getting
this.
- Sam, look at me.
- Ana, what are you
doing to her?
- Emily!
- That is not your mother
anymore.
- Ana, why are you doing this?
- I'm gonna show you.
- Why are you doing this
to them?
- You'll see.
- Sam, are you hurt?
- I'm so sorry!
- Are you okay?
- I couldn't help myself.
- Ana, don't!
- What the hell is going
on here?
- She's crazy.
Oh my God, she's crazy.
- Fuck you.
- I'm so sorry,
I'm sorry.
- Red was right to
be afraid of your mother.
- I couldn't help it.
Danny?
- Yeah?
- I'm gonna need you to
stick with me here, buddy.
- All right, yeah.
- Okay, I need your help.
I need you to film this.
- Alright, alright.
- Come on closer.
- Okay.
- What the fuck?
- What are you doing?
- Now come here, come really
close.
- Okay, alright.
- Follow my hand.
- What the fuck?
- Get the fangs, get the
fangs.
- Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ.
- Come on, come on.
Come on now, let's get this one.
Get his fangs!
- What the hell is going
on, Em?
Em, are you seeing this? I
can't-
- Danny, I need you over here
with me.
I need you to stay with me.
I'm gonna want you in real close
on Sam.
- Okay, I'm filming.
- Come in real close. Okay?
- I'm filming.
- Ana, no.
- Emily, this is not your
mother.
- Ana, no!
- Wait, wait-
- No, no!
- Wait Ana, what
the hell are you doing?
- Watch it, watch it.
Keep watching.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck?
- Do you see it?
- Do you see?
- What the fuck is going
on?
- I'm so sorry.
- They're not human.
- Emily?
- They're sick.
All they care about is blood.
They'll do anything to get it.
These two got greedy.
That's how I clocked them.
They thought nobody would notice
what they were doing, right?
All the migrants, and homeless
people
and drug addicts, you know,
people who disappear every day.
They thought nobody would
notice or care, but I did.
- Look what she's doing.
- You're a very brave young
lady.
A lot of people, they would've
just left.
Do you know how to kill a
vampire?
- Emily, stop her.
- Wait, what the hell's
going on?
- Stop her!
- Ana, wait, what are
you doing?
- First you cut off the head
and then you remove the heart.
- Ana, please stop.
- Then you decimate the
body.
The pigs are good for that.
Emily, you need to watch this,
okay?
- No, no!
- Oh fuck.
- I'm so sorry,
sweetheart,
that you had to see that.
- You're fucking crazy,
- You need to get used to
it.
Worst part about it is they look
so human.
- You're fucking sick.
You're fucking sick.
- I am not the one who's sick.
Emily, this should be you.
- No, no, no.
She's not your mother anymore,
Emily.
You need to think of her like a
rabid dog.
You gotta put her down
before she hurts more people.
- Don't say that about
her.
- You cannot save her, honey.
This is the only way you can
help her.
- It's okay, she's right.
You know she's right.
- That's not true, Sam
- Oh, it's true.
The world's a safer
place without me in it.
Please, you have to do this.
- Em, don't listen to
her.
- I want you to,
you need to be the one-
- Don't fucking
listen to her, Emily!
Emily, don't.
- I need this to end.
It's okay-
- Emily, no!
- Danny, Danny, back!
- Emily,
Emily, don't fucking do it,
please!
Please don't do it.
- Please, sweetheart. End
this.
- Come on.
- Do it, come on.
- I'm sorry.
- Emily, don't!
- Just do it.
Please.
- Emily, what
the fuck are you doing?
She's your mother!
- Alright.
How many have you killed?
- As many as the keys on this
chain.
- What are they?
- In the handle of every key is
a keyhole.
And the key that fits there
belongs to whoever turned them.
And then this key fits in the
keyhole
of whoever they turned.
It's like a way of
tracking families, I think.
They're very proud of their
lineage.
- How do you know that?
- My daughter was a victim.
- She was killed?
- She was turned.
I killed her.
She didn't deserve that life.
- Do those keys come from locals
here?
- No, these are from all over.
I've been at this a long time.
They are addicted
just as much as the
humans that they feed on.
They will do anything to get a
fix,
including blow their own cover.
And that's when I find them.
Like Sam and Isaac, they killed
too many people for their blood
trade,
and couldn't hide it all.
- How do you catch them?
- My pigs.
I would leave a dead pig
soaked in human blood
wherever I thought it was high
risk.
- Human blood?
- Yeah, my own usually,
unless I could score some from
them,
if they were stupid enough to
sell it,
and Isaac was.
- I would think
pig's blood would be easier.
- Animal blood is like food for
them.
Human blood is their drug.
They can't resist it.
They get stronger from it
though.
So I would lace it with rat
poison,
which slows them down
and makes them more vulnerable
to capture.
The pigs in this part of the
world,
they're just good cover,
because everything I did was
assumed to be gang activity.
- You left one in our
room.
- Yes, I did.
And I want to apologize for
that.
I mean, you just showed
up from out of nowhere.
You were strangers, you were
asking all kinds of questions.
You know, I had to be sure.
And then I saw the way this one
ate candy,
and I felt a lot safer.
- What do you mean?
- They can't eat human
food, it makes them sick.
- We had dinner
with Sam, we saw her eat.
- You thought you did,
but I assure you, you did not.
- Jesus Christ.
Fuck.
- Red?
How much does he know?
- He was helping me track
all the vampires here,
but I underestimated him.
I think he's onto something
bigger.
A complex system for
harvesting the most vulnerable.
Drug addicts, like my girl,
migrants and homeless, and gang
members.
You know, anybody who can die
or disappear without a lot of
scrutiny.
And these days that's a pretty
big pot.
That's why I need you.
I feel like we could go public
with this.
The proof that is on that
camera.
I need you on my team.
I know you could be a great
hunter.
- Em?
- I think so too.
- Em?
- I just wanted to check her
mic.
- What the fuck?
Em, what the fuck?
Emily!
Em!
Please, Emily!
Emily!
No!
- Regulator 1015J breaking cover
with the elimination of my
decoy, Danny.
Danny Martinez.
Mission summary.
On October 30th,
119NM Coven member
Samantha Wyland reported
the destruction of fellow
coven member Tina Delgado,
citing possible hunter activity.
I was dispatched by the
Commission
due to my relationship with
Wyland and my connection
to the members of this
coven to investigate.
My findings conclude that Tina
Delgado
was the victim of a hunter who
discovered
the El Paso Las Cruces District,
as a result of the illegal
blood poaching operations
carried out by coven leader
Isaac Koslov
and Sam Wyland.
The hunter has been eliminated.
Isaac Koslov and Samantha Wyland
will be destroyed and desecrated
justly,
according to regulation code
687,
under the Articles of the
Commission.
My cover has been compromised.
I'm requesting a new Regulator
for the investigation
and the elimination of
the remaining threat.
I can't.
I can't be part of this system
anymore.
This isn't safety.
This is...
Consider this my resignation.
- We have a problem.
