Instintos (2025) Movie Script
Let's go, let's go.
On the outskirts of Houston, Texas.
Let's go, let's go.
Go, go, go!
Roy, they're getting away!
Here they come!
Go, go, go!
No!
- Out of the fucking car! Out!
- Get out!
Leo! Leo! Leo!
Leo! Leo!
INSTINCTS
24 hours before.
You'll see, honey, it's all going
to be great.
There's a lunar eclipse in
Sagittarius today
and You're vibrating with sexual energy.
Oh, please.
Sex is the last thing I think
about lately.
Seriously? Why is that?
The other day he came with a new crib,
a changing table and 20 fluffy toys.
- But honey, does that bother you?
- It's not that it bothers me,
we just agreed that we weren't
going to do that.
We don't want to jinx the baby.
But Maggie, it'll all be fine,
you'll see.
My sixth sense tells me.
I would've left my job for a Taurus too.
You don't know how much I miss my
art classes.
I was good at it.
I was always good at it.
You're the best.
I don't get it.
Hey!
This lunatic...
- What does he want?
- Hey, careful.
Move.
- What... what does he want?
- What does he want?
- What are you doing, you jerk?
- Idiot.
- Did you see that?
- Yes.
- People are crazy, eh?
- Jeez.
I was late with my boy too, eh?
- Really?
- Yes.
Do you know what finally got him out?
Sex.
Hawaiian pizza with anchovies
and olives...
- ...and maple syrup.
- Oh, gross!
I swear. It was the easiest
birth in the world.
He came out...
like a little fish, my boy.
Here comes your car.
Oh, what a shame.
- Well, I'll see you again on Saturday...
- Okay.
...to see how you are.
Hold on, what was happening on Saturday?
Oh, right!
It's the due date.
- Love you.
- Love you too. Thanks.
Take care of yourself!
Leo! You scared me!
I thought you were a stranger.
Really, honey?
It's so nice watching you sleep.
- I missed you so much.
- Me too, honey.
I'd rather have been here than
that ultra-boring congress.
Leo,
I think I'm going insane.
No, you have nothing to be upset about.
It's all fine.
Charlies going to be a very happy,
- very healthy boy.
- What if it's a girl?
Well, Charlie is a pretty name
for a girl too.
Better than Darwin, right?
Tell me, how were the comments
on your book?
- No, nobody read it.
- Sure they did.
For sure they all read it.
They're just too arrogant to praise you.
They read it.
Today I only care about you and this.
THE ART OF NATURAL SELECTION
Leo, Harvey started to put up the fence,
even though we warned him that
it's illegal.
Ah, I'll go talk to him.
We already did. He wont listen.
We have to report it.
I'll report him to the police.
Hey, hey, Maggie. Really? No.
If we involve the police in this,
we'll never have peaceful coexistence.
Really? No, imagine living in
conflict with this guy.
You know who'll sort it out? Look.
Da, da, da, da, da-da!
You have to earn that title, eh?
Maggie, I was born to be a dad.
Honey, honey.
The interview is about to go on the air.
- Oh, terrific.
- Yes.
- I'll look for it on my phone.
- Enjoy your day, honey.
- You too.
- Love you.
Love you more!
The strategies of our ancestors,
developed two million years ago
to tackle problems
such as how to survive predators
are still in effect today, for
good or ill.
You wrote that you used to be
violent when you were a boy
and that Darwin saved your life.
Look, my parents died when I was
four years old.
By twelve I'd changed foster
homes six times.
I'm sure I'd be dead or in prison
if I hadn't studied evolution in
6th grade.
And I remember exactly reading
these words.
In order to survive,
an organism adapts to changes in
its environment.
It doesnt attack us blindly.
It's a simple, but very fertile idea.
Before the program you told me
about becoming a dad.
Yes, I couldn't be more thrilled.
Having a child means everything,
everything to me.
Hey, just ask my wife.
How wonderful. And what would
the Darwinist in you say?
That my DNAs survival is assured.
What an idiot! This forest isn't his.
Honey!
I thought you'd be home early.
Come, I want to show you something.
I just threw up, can't you bring it up?
No, no, no, no.
It's huge, very heavy, and you'll
love it. Come.
Your interview was great, honey.
Jeez, these stairs are killing me!
Let's see what you think. Ready?
- What did you do?
- I swapped the Jaguar.
But you loved that car.
Yes, but this decision is more
responsible,
for the new times coming.
You're not going to say it's a jinx,
are you?
Love you.
Love you more, honey.
We're not the only spectators to
this marine drama,
where blood...
A medium, pepperoni.
And a...
large Hawaiian with anchovies and olives.
- Navigators of a mysterious deep.
- Okay.
Where does this voracious dance
come from?
40 km of water separates them,
but the news has spread...
Howdy!
Whe da baby? Where?
Here's where Charlie
is going to change
the course of humanity.
And this is all so beautiful.
Listen, Maggie,
honey,
thank you so much for all the
sacrifices you've made.
For not giving up on our dreams
despite all the obstacles.
You're a badass lady, Maggie.
I feel blessed to share my life with you.
Charlie.
You're my little one, Charlie.
- Leo, honey, the pizza!
- Oh, yeah? I'm going!
don't get up.
Coming!
Relax. How many people in the house?
Just me.
When you come in, pass me the
maple syrup, please!
And my wife, that's all.
- Move. Turn around.
- Relax. Relax. Relax.
Walk.
- Walk, walk.
- Leo.
- Sit there. Sit down!
- Careful, she's pregnant.
Turn that off.
Fucking turn it off!
I can't find the remote.
Wallets! Phones!
- Don't hurt us, don't, please!
- Wallets and phones!
- Well do what you want, relax.
- Let's go! Where are they?
- My bag is there.
- Don't lie or I'll kill you.
- Any more cash in the house?
- There, in the bag.
- No, no. There's no more money.
- What else do you have?
- There's nothing.
- Are you lying to me, you bastard?
- No, no. There's nothing else.
- Your hands. Hands!
Watches, rings!
Quick, go, go!
Do you need help?
- Shall I help you?
- Please, no
- It's stuck.
- Do I cut off your finger? Do I?
- Shut up! Shut up!
- No!
Give it to me!
Here it is.
Any more jewelry in the house?
In the closet upstairs, in the bedroom.
- Blanca, upstairs.
- I'm going.
- What else have you got?
- There's nothing else.
Nothing else? You've got this
fucking house
and you want me to believe
there's nothing else?
- What else have you got?
- There are two cars in...
in the garage. The keys are in
the kitchen.
I don't want your fucking cars.
What else have you got?
- The lithograph.
- The what?
That work there. It's worth $15,000.
- This?
- Yes, yes.
What the hell do I do with this?
Fucking hell! The mantlepiece.
The bust of Darwin is worth...
- This?
- $5000. Take it.
This is shit!
- Fuck!
- I've got them.
Look straight ahead.
This? This is fake. It's fucking fake.
Look at this fucking house. Where is it?
- Where is it?
- In the study, the study.
You bastard. I knew you were
lying to me. Let's go. Let's go.
- Turn around.
- There in the hallway.
- Watch her!
- Check their bank statements.
Boy or girl?
We don't know.
Walk. Is this it?
Yes, there's a safe. Here.
- The key is under the desk.
- Slowly, Len. I can see you.
- Here it is.
- Okay Where is it?
Behind the painting.
You bastard.
- You a doctor?
- Psychiatrist.
- You treat lunatics?
- Patients with mental illnesses.
Right, lunatics. Out of the way!
Up against the wall!
- It's a Charles Darwin first edition.
- Yeah, I heard you. I
want the money.
- Where's the fucking money?
- There is no money.
The fucking money!
- This... What's this?
- The bank statements.
250? You've got 250,000 dollars
in the bank?
Shit, why didn't you say so?
See how talking works?
Come on, go in. Go!
Walk!
Fucking walk! Walk!
Blanca... look at this.
250,000 dollars. 250,000, I told you.
How do we get this money?
I'll just write you a check, a
bank transfer.
A check... Are you an asshole?
Look back and I'll blow your
fucking head off.
There's only one way to get that money.
Today is Friday, the bank is closed.
It opens on Monday.
This wasn't in the plan.
But we want that money, right?
Well, since the bank isn't open
until Monday,
it looks like you'll have company
this weekend.
No, no, please, please.
You can't do this.
You can't stay here.
Take it all, take it all. Just go.
I can go into labor at any time.
If I were you, I'd wait until Monday.
- No, no, no!
- Let's shut up a bit, yeah?
Okay, okay. Look...
We'll do what you say.
First thing Monday we'll go to the bank,
take out the money, give it to
you and it's over.
But, please, don't hurt the baby.
Fine, Doctor.
Fine. That's it.
Where's the alarm and the panic buttons?
The alarm is at the front door
and the panic button's next to the bed.
- Disconnect them.
- Yes.
And cut the phone and Internet
lines as well.
I'm going.
- Are you expecting any calls?
- No.
- And visits?
- No.
- The maid? The gardener?
- Not until Thursday.
If you have anything to say,
nows the time.
- No, nothing. No.
- No, no.
Fine.
We'll stay sitting here bored to fucking tears until doomsday.
That okay with you?
It's the pizza, the pizza, I swear.
- Are you fucking with me?
- I forgot about it, I did.
Shut up, shut up.
Old man, come here. Come.
Quick, wipe it. Clean yourself up.
- The money for the pizza.
- It's an app, it's paid for.
Go. At my pace, you bastard.
At my fucking pace.
Gently. Gently.
Fix your shirt.
Fix it.
I'm right fucking next to you.
I'm glued to you, fuckhead.
Leave the pizzas there.
He saw the SUV.
No, it's fine. What's this? Pineapple?
We should put the SUV in the garage.
- It attracts a lot of attention.
- Fuck me, pineapple on a pizza.
Hey!
- Is there a cellar here?
- In the basement.
Right, let's go. Go, go. Mama, upstairs.
Let's go!
- Quick, quick, quick!
- We're going on an excursion!
Let's go.
You don't need to do this.
We won't try anything.
Where's the light?
Turn on the fucking light.
There, at the entrance.
I'm nauseous, my back aches,
I have to go to the bathroom
all the time.
You've got a bucket here.
No, no, honey. Maggie.
There's no bathroom, nothing.
Bring us down a mattress,
a quilt, please.
If you behave, by Monday morning
it'll all be over. Let's go.
Take it easy, take it easy.
it'll all be fine. Well be fine.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
- Well have to deal with this.
- And how are you?
- I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Let's see...
You're badly hurt.
Come here.
I need to help you with this.
Careful, careful.
Oh, it hurts. I'm sorry.
- Like that.
- Hey, it's...
- It's the garage.
- Yes.
They're putting their SUV away.
- It's a gray SUV, right?
- Yes, how do you know?
Yesterday, on the way back from
the hospital,
it overtook us very aggressively,
and this morning I saw it again
when I went for a walk.
They've been watching us, Leo.
I don't get why they didn't come
in when we weren't here.
No, they're animals, they do
things without thinking.
Look.
Whats this? Where did you get it?
I grabbed it when they weren't
watching me.
No, no, Maggie. They could've seen you.
It's the only thing I could do.
I don't know what it'll be good
for, but...
It won't be good for anything.
Putting us at risk for this. God...
Leo.
I'm scared.
Relax. it'll all be fine.
We'll overcome it as a family,
the three of us.
Relax, breathe.
Breathe, breathe.
Whats up, babe? Where's my breakfast?
All this is nice, don't you think?
I always dreamt of living in a
place like this.
Leo.
When we have the money.
Come, come.
Come here. Come here.
No, no, wait, ow, ow! You're hurting me.
I'm in no mood for this now.
What's wrong? Are you scared?
don't worry, they won't catch us.
Were not going back to prison.
Do you know why?
Because we won't leave witnesses.
No more prison.
- They're going to kill us.
- No, no, no.
- Wait, wait. No, no, no.
- They're going to kill us.
Relax, relax, relax. Relax, please.
Please, please, relax. Breathe, breathe.
No, don't get upset.
It's not good for you. Let's not panic.
- We have to pick that lock.
- You can't.
Maybe the hinges, we have to unscrew it.
No, you can't. They took all the
tools. There's no way.
I don't know what else to do. You
know about this.
- What do we do?
- Let me think.
While they don't have the money,
they can't hurt us.
So we have two days,
to think of a plan, okay?
Think of a plan, okay? Let's think.
Let's think, we have to be rational.
It's in their interest to keep us alive.
I'll think of something,
I'll talk to them.
No... And say what, Leo?
I have to find an incentive
to adapt their behavior
and manipulate them somehow. Let me see.
- I'll offer them more money.
- Money? We don't have any.
- We don't have any more money.
- I'll get it from somewhere.
You can't talk to these people.
They're not your patients.
They're killers.
Do you have a better idea?
The spare keys. The spare keys for here.
- What?
- The keys, Leo!
- What are you talking about?
- When we moved.
I gave you the spare keys for down here.
Fuck! I think I left them in a
kitchen cabinet.
Oh, fucking hell!
- The monitor?
- Eh?
- The monitor.
- What are you doing?
Breakfast!
- Thanks. May I...?
- Don't come near me.
- Just let me speak, please.
- I have nothing to say.
For one minute. I have a
proposition for you.
What kind of proposition?
Let me tell you upstairs,
please. I can't tell you here.
- Why not?
- Because it's between us.
The less my wife knows,
the safer she'll be. And if she's all
right, you two will be as well, got it?
Look, what it comes down to
is that we want to to get on
with our lives
and I'm sure you do too.
Because if someone gets
hurt, the police...
will leave no stone unturned to find you.
You know what gringo cops are like.
You know what I mean?
Please let me talk to you.
On Monday we go to the bank. That's all.
- There's nothing to talk about.
- Please.
Can you tell me what your
proposition was?
I don't know, I was going to...
I was going to offer them
prescription drugs
to sell later and make as much
money as they can.
- What's this madness?
- So they go, damn it.
I don't know, I can't think of
anything else, honey.
You have to eat, the baby has to eat.
Let's eat. Do you want some juice?
Have a slice of pizza.
- Pamela. What time is it?
- What? I don't know.
- I have no idea.
- Pamela, Pamela!
- Hold on.
- Open up!
No, no, no!
Pamela was coming at 9 a.m.,
they're going to hurt her!
Open up!
Open up!
Open up, please!
Open up!
Now what?
My friend Pamela.
She's coming at 9 oclock.
I forgot to tell you.
- Are you lying to me again?
- No, no, no, please, please.
- Did you lie to me?
- No come up please.
- You fucking with me, bitch?
- No, no, I swear. I forgot.
Please don't hurt her.
I forgot.
Call her, tell her not to come. Call her!
You can't here, there's no signal.
We're in the basement, you can't.
Let's go upstairs.
Let's go, let's go.
Not you, you stay.
Relax.
it'll all be fine, it'll all be
fine, honey.
Relax, it'll all be fine.
I don't feel good.
Perfect. That's exactly what
you'll tell your friend.
Babe, the window.
Call her. Put her on speaker.
If your friend comes in, I'll kill her.
If you say anything stupid, I'll
blow your head off, bitch.
- Hello, Maggie.
- Pamela!
- Where are you?
- I'm almost there.
- You know what? I don't feel well.
- Oh, no.
Do you mind if we cancel?
But darling, I'm already at your house.
The thing is, were about to go
to the hospital.
It's coming.
I knew it, I knew it. I told you.
My sixth sense never fails.
Please, we're about to leave.
We're about to... leave.
Please, go... go home.
At least let me give you a kiss
for good luck.
No, it's fine, please, I beg you,
go home, turn around.
I've got you some lovely flowers.
Tell me, what's wrong with you?
What's wrong?
What the hell's wrong with me?
Do you know what it is?
Do I have to spell it out?
I'm sick to death of your
horoscope bullshit
and all your bullshit about moms
having superpowers.
I don't want that.
I don't want it around my child,
do you understand?
So take your fucking roses and
get the fuck out of here.
What does your fucking sixth sense say?
Get out of here!
She left.
Good, you did good. Let's go
downstairs. Come on...
Fucking hell!
Take her downstairs! I'll find
some clothes. Fuck!
Sorry, I need my pills.
Please, my nausea pills.
Do it for the baby, I beg you.
Let's go.
Stay here.
- What drawer are they in?
- There, first on the right.
- No.
- Then in that drawer there.
- Thank you. -Let's go, let's go.
Wait, please, wait.
- Let me take a pill, please.
- Make it quick!
Right, right.
Careful.
Thanks for helping me.
You don't know how it is.
Yes, I do. I've lived it.
You have a baby?
- Girl or boy?
- Boy.
- How old is he?
- Seven.
- What's his name?
- Shut up.
Wait.
Get in!
Honey...
- What happened?
- Look.
Look.
Honey, you're incredible.
- The SUV, the Volvo.
- Yes.
There's a spare key in my office.
I'll go get it.
No, it's too risky.
No, I'll go get it. It's our only
alternative.
You wait for me there, in the garage.
- Wait for me.
- I'll wait for you there.
THE ART OF NATURAL SELECTION
Go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go!
Roy, they're getting away!
Here they come.
No!
How did you get out of here?
How did you get out of here?!
The door was open.
- No!
- No, no, no!
Do you want me to start digging
around down there?
- No, no, no, no!
- Please, no!
- How did you get out of here?
- No, please, please!
Wait, wait! Maybe I forgot to shut it.
- Maybe what?
- Maybe I left the door open.
Forgive me, please. I'm so sorry.
I promise, it won't happen again.
I swear to you.
Look, I swear, I swear,
we never intended to call the police.
We just wanted to get out of here,
but we never wanted to call the police.
Even if we wanted to, we couldn't
because... the money in the
account is dirty.
It's dirty money.
- What the hell are you saying?
- Yes, yes.
I sell controlled drugs.
Fentanyl, morphine,
Percocet, Oxycontin, codeine, methadone,
Demerol, whatever, I get it all
through my practice.
I make a lot of money.
But to take it to the next level
I need a partner.
And you fit the profile
for the job perfectly.
- He's tricking you.
- Shut up!
Can't you see what he's doing?
Can't you see I'm talking to the doctor?
Let's be partners
and it'll all stay between us
and you'll make a lot of money.
I thought you made the money
from your book.
No, no, that's nothing.
It sold 500 copies.
- You said it was a bestseller, right?
- I said it changed my life.
Please, the money in
the account is a sure thing.
Calm down, please.
The account money is peanuts
compared to what I'm I'm proposing.
There's lots and lots of money
for you. A lot.
- don't listen to him.
- Your fucking interruptions!
Is this normal, what I have to
put up with?
You speak nice, really.
It's good to hear your husband talk.
You can tell he's a doctor.
So... drugs?
I like drugs.
Oh, yeah? Why not?
It can work.
Sure.
Let's be partners.
No!
- You wanna fuck with me?
- don't hurt him, please.
You wanna fuck with me?
You're green, old man!
Fuck with me again and I'll kill
both of you, all three of you.
- Please.
- What are you waiting for? Let's go!
don't fuck with me again, there's
a lot of weekend left!
Are you okay?
I had to try to...
to try somehow, damn it.
He read your book, Leo.
They didn't choose us randomly.
I saw it in the car, in the
garage, they read it.
I don't get it, somethings
strange here. Why us?
I don't know, I don't know, Maggie.
She's a mom.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Did she tell you that?
- She's a victim too.
- don't you see how he treats her?
- No, no, no, Maggie.
It's a textbook case.
Abuse is the only kind of
relationship she knows.
She's a ticking time bomb.
Just feeling threatened is
enough for her to explode.
Leo, I can talk to her,
I can get close to her,
get her on our side.
No, no, don't try it. It's no use.
- No, it doesn't make sense.
- It doesn't?
No, it's no good, no.
Where is it?
Where is it?
The key.
Give it to me or I'll tell him
you have it.
There, under the pallet.
Why? Why did you help us?
- Why did you lie for us?
- I didn't do it for you.
I did it for the baby.
Thank you.
Listen...
Nobody deserves to be treated like that.
It was very brave what you did.
We'll never forget it.
Come on!
- Let's go! Up!
- Where are you taking him?
Leo! don't hurt him, please! Leo!
Leo!
Leo!
Open your mouth, Len.
Open your mouth!
Let's go.
Leo.
Leo, Leo, can you hear me?
Hold on.
I'm going to hold on.
For our child.
For the three of us.
Leo, Leo, the battery's going,
the monitor battery's going.
Hold on, hold on.
I love you with all my soul,
honey, I love you.
Help me!
Something... somethings wrong!
Help me, please!
What? Whats wrong with you?
- Is something wrong with my baby?
- What?
- Something's wrong.
- I'll check you out.
I don't want to lose my baby.
It's okay.
It's not going to happen yet.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
It's just the mucus plug.
Can you walk? Let's get up.
- Where's Leo?
- Leo's fine.
He is?
don't worry about him.
Let's go.
Whats the matter now?
- Can I bathe her? She stinks.
- Please.
Make it quick.
What did they do to you? What happened?
- He needed to be punished.
- Leo! Leo!
Feeling better now?
- Yes, thanks.
- Let's get you downstairs again.
Listen, your son...
Do you know where he is now? Is
he with his dad?
I don't know.
That must be really tough.
- What happened?
- The doctors took him away.
- The doctors?
- In prison.
So, you don't know where he is?
- I never knew.
- You never tried to find him?
What is this?
- An interrogation?
- No, no.
You want to know who I am
so the police can find me?
No.
Time to go.
Can I get some clean
clothes? I won't be long.
- Can I show you something?
- Hey...
- Where are you going?
- You'll like it, I promise.
It's something good.
It's a pretty cape. Will you let
me put it on you?
It's Italian.
Oh, you look lovely.
I'd like you to keep it.
- Really?
- Yes, it looks like it was made for you.
Your friend?
Is he your sons dad?
Him? No.
I barely knew him.
Why do you let him treat you so badly?
In the end they're all the same.
Basically sperm donors.
Well, that's not quite true.
There are good men.
They're just harder to find.
It took me many years to find Leo.
It's never too late to rebuild your life.
- My life's already fucked.
- No, no. You're too young.
We can help you.
We don't want to harm you.
We just want to start a family
and be happy.
- Yes.
- It's not too much to ask, is it?
Nothing bad will happen to your child.
I promise.
It's moving.
May I?
You read Leo's book, didn't you?
I found it in the prison library.
He's a genius.
My favorite lesson is 33.
Adapt or die.
It gave me a new perspective on life.
It's my neighbor.
Take her downstairs.
I'll deal with this guy.
You're a good person.
You don't have to submit to this guy.
Leo and I can testify that...
he forced you,
he forced you. You can use our money.
To look for your son.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
It's too late now.
No, you made bad decisions.
It's not your fault.
The prison psychiatrist told me.
Nobody's born fucked up, except you.
No, prisons have the worst doctors.
Leo's a genius. You said so yourself.
You can trust us, I promise, I promise.
No, thanks. Get inside.
Wait, wait, please.
Look, I understand that you've
lost faith in yourself.
But you can't give up. Not on your son.
You're his mom.
What's your son's name?
Shut your mouth and get inside.
Mine's going to be called
Charlie, after Charles Darwin.
Leo admires him so much.
I told you my childs name.
Now tell me your son's name.
There were shots. What happened?
Your neighbor is very insistent
and he paid for it with his life.
And how's Maggie?
Alive.
- And the baby?
- Still there.
Why are you doing this, Cara?
It's what you did to me.
No, no,...
...there was no choice.
Did you think you could change country,
start a new life, forget everything?
I loved you, Leo.
You promised to marry me
when I got out of prison.
- Why did you disappear?
- It was for your own good.
You needed to learn to have
confidence in yourself.
You wouldn't have made it with me
by your side.
I'm glad to see that it was the
best decision.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had
the courage to come.
This is a breakthrough in your life.
I'm very proud of you.
We could've been so happy, Leo.
I never thought I'd see you again.
Now you show up like this, all
of a sudden,
and nothing makes sense, only you.
We can go away together now.
I love you, Cara.
I can give you what you've always wanted.
Does your wife know
you're a criminal monster?
You're in my hands now.
Adapt or die.
Where is she? Where is she?
She should be here.
How long ago did you meet your
lady friend?
What do you care about that?
They know each other.
Did you know?
That's why you're here.
She's manipulating you.
She's manipulating us. Both of us.
She'll fuck off with all your money.
Where were you?
Getting this idiot. Where else?
Let's go.
Maggie, honey!
- Maggie!
- No, no.
She called you...
a criminal monster.
Whatever that lunatic told you,
don't let her mess with your mind, Maggie.
She didn't tell me, I saw you.
That lunatic was your partner.
She was my patient when I gave
therapy in the prison.
- Who the hell are you?
- I'm the person you know, Maggie.
- You're the father of her child.
- No.
Do you have other children
scattered around?
- Are they all called Charlie?
- What?
You told her you love her.
I told her the lie she wanted to hear.
Did you lie to her before
or are you lying to me now?
That woman, Maggie,
has a disorder,
a serious psychotic disorder.
She can't distinguish between
reality and fantasy.
For many years she was obsessed with me.
And she made up stories.
Now she suddenly appears like
this, out of nowhere. Here.
After so long.
Everything I told her was a lie.
You're a good liar.
No, no, Maggie, please, no.
Let's not let these people
keep hurting us.
I love you, you love me,
we love each other
and we're going to be parents.
And we have to survive all this.
That's all that matters.
I grabbed it when they weren't looking.
You're very brave, Maggie.
We have to wait,
wait for the right moment to use this.
Relax, it'll all be fine, it'll
all be fine.
Relax, we'll make it out of this.
it'll all be fine.
- Are you okay?
- I think my water's have broken.
Yes, yes.
Come. Come here.
Relax, breathe, breathe.
Come on, sit down.
Relax, relax, relax.
You have to check me, look me over.
You have to see how far along I am.
It's... it's... very far along.
- Is it coming now?
- Yes, relax, breathe. Breathe.
I have to go to the hospital.
Open up!
Open up!
It's coming! The babys coming!
It's coming! Open up!
Hey! Hey!
The babys coming! Open up!
- Whats the matter?
- It's coming. Help me.
Relax, relax, honey. Breathe, breathe.
She's very dilated. Let's get her up.
That's it.
Careful, that's it. Breathe, breathe.
- C'mon, one foot after the other.
- What the hell's going on here?
- The baby's coming.
- It's coming, it's coming. Please.
- It's going... to be fine.
- You stay there.
- Just don't push.
- No, please, please.
No! Let me be there, please!
- Where are you taking her?
- Relax, you'll be fine.
Hey! I asked you a question!
If she or the baby dies, well
never get the money. Help me.
- Let me be with my baby, please!
- Shut the fuck up!
Let me be with my baby! Please, let me!
I need to go to the hospital.
We're going to the bedroom. You're
giving birth at home, honey.
No, no, no, no. I can't give birth here.
No, no, no. I can't have my baby, please.
I need to go to the hospital, I beg you.
Let me be with my baby, please!
Come on.
Slowly.
- Not here.
- Lie down.
Get me the bag from the SUV.
You don't give the orders here.
I have everything I need for the
birth in the SUV.
What the hell are you plotting?
How do you know the guy in the cellar?
He was my psychiatrist in prison.
Okay.
And what else?
You want the money.
I want the baby.
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Very serious.
Fine. It's a deal.
But give me the gun.
You don't need it to play doctor.
I can see the head.
Do you know what You're doing?
Was it the same for you?
No.
They tied me to the bed, drugged me
and told me my baby was going to die.
That I was going to die if he
didn't come out.
But it was a plan.
They didn't even let me hold it.
Leo is the father, isn't he?
What else did he do?
He trafficked narcotics in the prison.
He'd prescribe drugs and I'd sell them.
I wasn't his only girl, but I was
his favorite.
Lots and lots of money.
Hold on!
Here it is.
I'm going to help deliver it.
you'll see, you keep breathing.
Relax, relax your muscles,
let your body make the effort. That's it.
You're doing great, great.
That's it, that's all.
It's coming. It's coming.
I can see it. Push.
Push! Push!
Very good. A bit more.
- Is it a boy or a girl?
- A girl.
- Is she all right?
- She's perfect.
Let me hold her.
Let me soothe my baby.
Why did you bring all that?
No, no, no, no.
No, no, don't go with my baby.
Please, where are you taking her?
don't take her, please, don't take her.
Let me hold my baby, please.
You have the chance to be a mom.
You can get pregnant again.
Please, don't take my baby.
Take anything you want, but don't
take my baby, please.
don't take my baby.
- Please, no.
- So? Are you done?
Look.
There, there, it's okay.
Mom's here.
There, there.
It's okay.
- Mom's here.
- No, no, I'm her mom.
Give me my baby, please, give me my baby.
Cara!
She wants to take our baby.
Don't let her, please.
Not another step.
This won't work for you.
Look at this mess.
don't make it worse.
The police will hunt you down
until the end of the world.
I'm going to disappear like you,
start again.
Do you have any idea what
it takes to disappear?
Your whole plan has a gaping error.
You...
- can't run from yourself.
- Shut up!
You have no chance...
unless I help you.
I know how to disappear. I have
money in other accounts.
Lots of money.
I can get papers, another identity.
We'll be in Canada by tonight.
You, the baby and me.
Isn't that what we always dreamt of,
a family?
I never stopped loving you.
Prove it!
I'm sorry, Maggie.
I'm sorry.
I promise I'll raise a daughter
you'd be proud of.
There, there, my girl.
Mom will be right back.
Relax.
No.
No!
Where are you?!
Give me back my daughter!
I'm going to find you!
Cara.
What are you going to do?
I'm unarmed. You're not going to
shoot me.
Do you know what?
I'm taking my daughter.
I'm not leaving her with a mental case.
You're sick in the head.
I can lock you up
in a psychiatric home forever.
And they'll take the girl away
from you anyway.
So it's better...
if I take my daughter
and you do whatever you want
with your life.
Eh?
You don't have the killer
instinct, Maggie.
Honey.
On the outskirts of Houston, Texas.
Let's go, let's go.
Go, go, go!
Roy, they're getting away!
Here they come!
Go, go, go!
No!
- Out of the fucking car! Out!
- Get out!
Leo! Leo! Leo!
Leo! Leo!
INSTINCTS
24 hours before.
You'll see, honey, it's all going
to be great.
There's a lunar eclipse in
Sagittarius today
and You're vibrating with sexual energy.
Oh, please.
Sex is the last thing I think
about lately.
Seriously? Why is that?
The other day he came with a new crib,
a changing table and 20 fluffy toys.
- But honey, does that bother you?
- It's not that it bothers me,
we just agreed that we weren't
going to do that.
We don't want to jinx the baby.
But Maggie, it'll all be fine,
you'll see.
My sixth sense tells me.
I would've left my job for a Taurus too.
You don't know how much I miss my
art classes.
I was good at it.
I was always good at it.
You're the best.
I don't get it.
Hey!
This lunatic...
- What does he want?
- Hey, careful.
Move.
- What... what does he want?
- What does he want?
- What are you doing, you jerk?
- Idiot.
- Did you see that?
- Yes.
- People are crazy, eh?
- Jeez.
I was late with my boy too, eh?
- Really?
- Yes.
Do you know what finally got him out?
Sex.
Hawaiian pizza with anchovies
and olives...
- ...and maple syrup.
- Oh, gross!
I swear. It was the easiest
birth in the world.
He came out...
like a little fish, my boy.
Here comes your car.
Oh, what a shame.
- Well, I'll see you again on Saturday...
- Okay.
...to see how you are.
Hold on, what was happening on Saturday?
Oh, right!
It's the due date.
- Love you.
- Love you too. Thanks.
Take care of yourself!
Leo! You scared me!
I thought you were a stranger.
Really, honey?
It's so nice watching you sleep.
- I missed you so much.
- Me too, honey.
I'd rather have been here than
that ultra-boring congress.
Leo,
I think I'm going insane.
No, you have nothing to be upset about.
It's all fine.
Charlies going to be a very happy,
- very healthy boy.
- What if it's a girl?
Well, Charlie is a pretty name
for a girl too.
Better than Darwin, right?
Tell me, how were the comments
on your book?
- No, nobody read it.
- Sure they did.
For sure they all read it.
They're just too arrogant to praise you.
They read it.
Today I only care about you and this.
THE ART OF NATURAL SELECTION
Leo, Harvey started to put up the fence,
even though we warned him that
it's illegal.
Ah, I'll go talk to him.
We already did. He wont listen.
We have to report it.
I'll report him to the police.
Hey, hey, Maggie. Really? No.
If we involve the police in this,
we'll never have peaceful coexistence.
Really? No, imagine living in
conflict with this guy.
You know who'll sort it out? Look.
Da, da, da, da, da-da!
You have to earn that title, eh?
Maggie, I was born to be a dad.
Honey, honey.
The interview is about to go on the air.
- Oh, terrific.
- Yes.
- I'll look for it on my phone.
- Enjoy your day, honey.
- You too.
- Love you.
Love you more!
The strategies of our ancestors,
developed two million years ago
to tackle problems
such as how to survive predators
are still in effect today, for
good or ill.
You wrote that you used to be
violent when you were a boy
and that Darwin saved your life.
Look, my parents died when I was
four years old.
By twelve I'd changed foster
homes six times.
I'm sure I'd be dead or in prison
if I hadn't studied evolution in
6th grade.
And I remember exactly reading
these words.
In order to survive,
an organism adapts to changes in
its environment.
It doesnt attack us blindly.
It's a simple, but very fertile idea.
Before the program you told me
about becoming a dad.
Yes, I couldn't be more thrilled.
Having a child means everything,
everything to me.
Hey, just ask my wife.
How wonderful. And what would
the Darwinist in you say?
That my DNAs survival is assured.
What an idiot! This forest isn't his.
Honey!
I thought you'd be home early.
Come, I want to show you something.
I just threw up, can't you bring it up?
No, no, no, no.
It's huge, very heavy, and you'll
love it. Come.
Your interview was great, honey.
Jeez, these stairs are killing me!
Let's see what you think. Ready?
- What did you do?
- I swapped the Jaguar.
But you loved that car.
Yes, but this decision is more
responsible,
for the new times coming.
You're not going to say it's a jinx,
are you?
Love you.
Love you more, honey.
We're not the only spectators to
this marine drama,
where blood...
A medium, pepperoni.
And a...
large Hawaiian with anchovies and olives.
- Navigators of a mysterious deep.
- Okay.
Where does this voracious dance
come from?
40 km of water separates them,
but the news has spread...
Howdy!
Whe da baby? Where?
Here's where Charlie
is going to change
the course of humanity.
And this is all so beautiful.
Listen, Maggie,
honey,
thank you so much for all the
sacrifices you've made.
For not giving up on our dreams
despite all the obstacles.
You're a badass lady, Maggie.
I feel blessed to share my life with you.
Charlie.
You're my little one, Charlie.
- Leo, honey, the pizza!
- Oh, yeah? I'm going!
don't get up.
Coming!
Relax. How many people in the house?
Just me.
When you come in, pass me the
maple syrup, please!
And my wife, that's all.
- Move. Turn around.
- Relax. Relax. Relax.
Walk.
- Walk, walk.
- Leo.
- Sit there. Sit down!
- Careful, she's pregnant.
Turn that off.
Fucking turn it off!
I can't find the remote.
Wallets! Phones!
- Don't hurt us, don't, please!
- Wallets and phones!
- Well do what you want, relax.
- Let's go! Where are they?
- My bag is there.
- Don't lie or I'll kill you.
- Any more cash in the house?
- There, in the bag.
- No, no. There's no more money.
- What else do you have?
- There's nothing.
- Are you lying to me, you bastard?
- No, no. There's nothing else.
- Your hands. Hands!
Watches, rings!
Quick, go, go!
Do you need help?
- Shall I help you?
- Please, no
- It's stuck.
- Do I cut off your finger? Do I?
- Shut up! Shut up!
- No!
Give it to me!
Here it is.
Any more jewelry in the house?
In the closet upstairs, in the bedroom.
- Blanca, upstairs.
- I'm going.
- What else have you got?
- There's nothing else.
Nothing else? You've got this
fucking house
and you want me to believe
there's nothing else?
- What else have you got?
- There are two cars in...
in the garage. The keys are in
the kitchen.
I don't want your fucking cars.
What else have you got?
- The lithograph.
- The what?
That work there. It's worth $15,000.
- This?
- Yes, yes.
What the hell do I do with this?
Fucking hell! The mantlepiece.
The bust of Darwin is worth...
- This?
- $5000. Take it.
This is shit!
- Fuck!
- I've got them.
Look straight ahead.
This? This is fake. It's fucking fake.
Look at this fucking house. Where is it?
- Where is it?
- In the study, the study.
You bastard. I knew you were
lying to me. Let's go. Let's go.
- Turn around.
- There in the hallway.
- Watch her!
- Check their bank statements.
Boy or girl?
We don't know.
Walk. Is this it?
Yes, there's a safe. Here.
- The key is under the desk.
- Slowly, Len. I can see you.
- Here it is.
- Okay Where is it?
Behind the painting.
You bastard.
- You a doctor?
- Psychiatrist.
- You treat lunatics?
- Patients with mental illnesses.
Right, lunatics. Out of the way!
Up against the wall!
- It's a Charles Darwin first edition.
- Yeah, I heard you. I
want the money.
- Where's the fucking money?
- There is no money.
The fucking money!
- This... What's this?
- The bank statements.
250? You've got 250,000 dollars
in the bank?
Shit, why didn't you say so?
See how talking works?
Come on, go in. Go!
Walk!
Fucking walk! Walk!
Blanca... look at this.
250,000 dollars. 250,000, I told you.
How do we get this money?
I'll just write you a check, a
bank transfer.
A check... Are you an asshole?
Look back and I'll blow your
fucking head off.
There's only one way to get that money.
Today is Friday, the bank is closed.
It opens on Monday.
This wasn't in the plan.
But we want that money, right?
Well, since the bank isn't open
until Monday,
it looks like you'll have company
this weekend.
No, no, please, please.
You can't do this.
You can't stay here.
Take it all, take it all. Just go.
I can go into labor at any time.
If I were you, I'd wait until Monday.
- No, no, no!
- Let's shut up a bit, yeah?
Okay, okay. Look...
We'll do what you say.
First thing Monday we'll go to the bank,
take out the money, give it to
you and it's over.
But, please, don't hurt the baby.
Fine, Doctor.
Fine. That's it.
Where's the alarm and the panic buttons?
The alarm is at the front door
and the panic button's next to the bed.
- Disconnect them.
- Yes.
And cut the phone and Internet
lines as well.
I'm going.
- Are you expecting any calls?
- No.
- And visits?
- No.
- The maid? The gardener?
- Not until Thursday.
If you have anything to say,
nows the time.
- No, nothing. No.
- No, no.
Fine.
We'll stay sitting here bored to fucking tears until doomsday.
That okay with you?
It's the pizza, the pizza, I swear.
- Are you fucking with me?
- I forgot about it, I did.
Shut up, shut up.
Old man, come here. Come.
Quick, wipe it. Clean yourself up.
- The money for the pizza.
- It's an app, it's paid for.
Go. At my pace, you bastard.
At my fucking pace.
Gently. Gently.
Fix your shirt.
Fix it.
I'm right fucking next to you.
I'm glued to you, fuckhead.
Leave the pizzas there.
He saw the SUV.
No, it's fine. What's this? Pineapple?
We should put the SUV in the garage.
- It attracts a lot of attention.
- Fuck me, pineapple on a pizza.
Hey!
- Is there a cellar here?
- In the basement.
Right, let's go. Go, go. Mama, upstairs.
Let's go!
- Quick, quick, quick!
- We're going on an excursion!
Let's go.
You don't need to do this.
We won't try anything.
Where's the light?
Turn on the fucking light.
There, at the entrance.
I'm nauseous, my back aches,
I have to go to the bathroom
all the time.
You've got a bucket here.
No, no, honey. Maggie.
There's no bathroom, nothing.
Bring us down a mattress,
a quilt, please.
If you behave, by Monday morning
it'll all be over. Let's go.
Take it easy, take it easy.
it'll all be fine. Well be fine.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
- Well have to deal with this.
- And how are you?
- I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Let's see...
You're badly hurt.
Come here.
I need to help you with this.
Careful, careful.
Oh, it hurts. I'm sorry.
- Like that.
- Hey, it's...
- It's the garage.
- Yes.
They're putting their SUV away.
- It's a gray SUV, right?
- Yes, how do you know?
Yesterday, on the way back from
the hospital,
it overtook us very aggressively,
and this morning I saw it again
when I went for a walk.
They've been watching us, Leo.
I don't get why they didn't come
in when we weren't here.
No, they're animals, they do
things without thinking.
Look.
Whats this? Where did you get it?
I grabbed it when they weren't
watching me.
No, no, Maggie. They could've seen you.
It's the only thing I could do.
I don't know what it'll be good
for, but...
It won't be good for anything.
Putting us at risk for this. God...
Leo.
I'm scared.
Relax. it'll all be fine.
We'll overcome it as a family,
the three of us.
Relax, breathe.
Breathe, breathe.
Whats up, babe? Where's my breakfast?
All this is nice, don't you think?
I always dreamt of living in a
place like this.
Leo.
When we have the money.
Come, come.
Come here. Come here.
No, no, wait, ow, ow! You're hurting me.
I'm in no mood for this now.
What's wrong? Are you scared?
don't worry, they won't catch us.
Were not going back to prison.
Do you know why?
Because we won't leave witnesses.
No more prison.
- They're going to kill us.
- No, no, no.
- Wait, wait. No, no, no.
- They're going to kill us.
Relax, relax, relax. Relax, please.
Please, please, relax. Breathe, breathe.
No, don't get upset.
It's not good for you. Let's not panic.
- We have to pick that lock.
- You can't.
Maybe the hinges, we have to unscrew it.
No, you can't. They took all the
tools. There's no way.
I don't know what else to do. You
know about this.
- What do we do?
- Let me think.
While they don't have the money,
they can't hurt us.
So we have two days,
to think of a plan, okay?
Think of a plan, okay? Let's think.
Let's think, we have to be rational.
It's in their interest to keep us alive.
I'll think of something,
I'll talk to them.
No... And say what, Leo?
I have to find an incentive
to adapt their behavior
and manipulate them somehow. Let me see.
- I'll offer them more money.
- Money? We don't have any.
- We don't have any more money.
- I'll get it from somewhere.
You can't talk to these people.
They're not your patients.
They're killers.
Do you have a better idea?
The spare keys. The spare keys for here.
- What?
- The keys, Leo!
- What are you talking about?
- When we moved.
I gave you the spare keys for down here.
Fuck! I think I left them in a
kitchen cabinet.
Oh, fucking hell!
- The monitor?
- Eh?
- The monitor.
- What are you doing?
Breakfast!
- Thanks. May I...?
- Don't come near me.
- Just let me speak, please.
- I have nothing to say.
For one minute. I have a
proposition for you.
What kind of proposition?
Let me tell you upstairs,
please. I can't tell you here.
- Why not?
- Because it's between us.
The less my wife knows,
the safer she'll be. And if she's all
right, you two will be as well, got it?
Look, what it comes down to
is that we want to to get on
with our lives
and I'm sure you do too.
Because if someone gets
hurt, the police...
will leave no stone unturned to find you.
You know what gringo cops are like.
You know what I mean?
Please let me talk to you.
On Monday we go to the bank. That's all.
- There's nothing to talk about.
- Please.
Can you tell me what your
proposition was?
I don't know, I was going to...
I was going to offer them
prescription drugs
to sell later and make as much
money as they can.
- What's this madness?
- So they go, damn it.
I don't know, I can't think of
anything else, honey.
You have to eat, the baby has to eat.
Let's eat. Do you want some juice?
Have a slice of pizza.
- Pamela. What time is it?
- What? I don't know.
- I have no idea.
- Pamela, Pamela!
- Hold on.
- Open up!
No, no, no!
Pamela was coming at 9 a.m.,
they're going to hurt her!
Open up!
Open up!
Open up, please!
Open up!
Now what?
My friend Pamela.
She's coming at 9 oclock.
I forgot to tell you.
- Are you lying to me again?
- No, no, no, please, please.
- Did you lie to me?
- No come up please.
- You fucking with me, bitch?
- No, no, I swear. I forgot.
Please don't hurt her.
I forgot.
Call her, tell her not to come. Call her!
You can't here, there's no signal.
We're in the basement, you can't.
Let's go upstairs.
Let's go, let's go.
Not you, you stay.
Relax.
it'll all be fine, it'll all be
fine, honey.
Relax, it'll all be fine.
I don't feel good.
Perfect. That's exactly what
you'll tell your friend.
Babe, the window.
Call her. Put her on speaker.
If your friend comes in, I'll kill her.
If you say anything stupid, I'll
blow your head off, bitch.
- Hello, Maggie.
- Pamela!
- Where are you?
- I'm almost there.
- You know what? I don't feel well.
- Oh, no.
Do you mind if we cancel?
But darling, I'm already at your house.
The thing is, were about to go
to the hospital.
It's coming.
I knew it, I knew it. I told you.
My sixth sense never fails.
Please, we're about to leave.
We're about to... leave.
Please, go... go home.
At least let me give you a kiss
for good luck.
No, it's fine, please, I beg you,
go home, turn around.
I've got you some lovely flowers.
Tell me, what's wrong with you?
What's wrong?
What the hell's wrong with me?
Do you know what it is?
Do I have to spell it out?
I'm sick to death of your
horoscope bullshit
and all your bullshit about moms
having superpowers.
I don't want that.
I don't want it around my child,
do you understand?
So take your fucking roses and
get the fuck out of here.
What does your fucking sixth sense say?
Get out of here!
She left.
Good, you did good. Let's go
downstairs. Come on...
Fucking hell!
Take her downstairs! I'll find
some clothes. Fuck!
Sorry, I need my pills.
Please, my nausea pills.
Do it for the baby, I beg you.
Let's go.
Stay here.
- What drawer are they in?
- There, first on the right.
- No.
- Then in that drawer there.
- Thank you. -Let's go, let's go.
Wait, please, wait.
- Let me take a pill, please.
- Make it quick!
Right, right.
Careful.
Thanks for helping me.
You don't know how it is.
Yes, I do. I've lived it.
You have a baby?
- Girl or boy?
- Boy.
- How old is he?
- Seven.
- What's his name?
- Shut up.
Wait.
Get in!
Honey...
- What happened?
- Look.
Look.
Honey, you're incredible.
- The SUV, the Volvo.
- Yes.
There's a spare key in my office.
I'll go get it.
No, it's too risky.
No, I'll go get it. It's our only
alternative.
You wait for me there, in the garage.
- Wait for me.
- I'll wait for you there.
THE ART OF NATURAL SELECTION
Go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go!
Roy, they're getting away!
Here they come.
No!
How did you get out of here?
How did you get out of here?!
The door was open.
- No!
- No, no, no!
Do you want me to start digging
around down there?
- No, no, no, no!
- Please, no!
- How did you get out of here?
- No, please, please!
Wait, wait! Maybe I forgot to shut it.
- Maybe what?
- Maybe I left the door open.
Forgive me, please. I'm so sorry.
I promise, it won't happen again.
I swear to you.
Look, I swear, I swear,
we never intended to call the police.
We just wanted to get out of here,
but we never wanted to call the police.
Even if we wanted to, we couldn't
because... the money in the
account is dirty.
It's dirty money.
- What the hell are you saying?
- Yes, yes.
I sell controlled drugs.
Fentanyl, morphine,
Percocet, Oxycontin, codeine, methadone,
Demerol, whatever, I get it all
through my practice.
I make a lot of money.
But to take it to the next level
I need a partner.
And you fit the profile
for the job perfectly.
- He's tricking you.
- Shut up!
Can't you see what he's doing?
Can't you see I'm talking to the doctor?
Let's be partners
and it'll all stay between us
and you'll make a lot of money.
I thought you made the money
from your book.
No, no, that's nothing.
It sold 500 copies.
- You said it was a bestseller, right?
- I said it changed my life.
Please, the money in
the account is a sure thing.
Calm down, please.
The account money is peanuts
compared to what I'm I'm proposing.
There's lots and lots of money
for you. A lot.
- don't listen to him.
- Your fucking interruptions!
Is this normal, what I have to
put up with?
You speak nice, really.
It's good to hear your husband talk.
You can tell he's a doctor.
So... drugs?
I like drugs.
Oh, yeah? Why not?
It can work.
Sure.
Let's be partners.
No!
- You wanna fuck with me?
- don't hurt him, please.
You wanna fuck with me?
You're green, old man!
Fuck with me again and I'll kill
both of you, all three of you.
- Please.
- What are you waiting for? Let's go!
don't fuck with me again, there's
a lot of weekend left!
Are you okay?
I had to try to...
to try somehow, damn it.
He read your book, Leo.
They didn't choose us randomly.
I saw it in the car, in the
garage, they read it.
I don't get it, somethings
strange here. Why us?
I don't know, I don't know, Maggie.
She's a mom.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Did she tell you that?
- She's a victim too.
- don't you see how he treats her?
- No, no, no, Maggie.
It's a textbook case.
Abuse is the only kind of
relationship she knows.
She's a ticking time bomb.
Just feeling threatened is
enough for her to explode.
Leo, I can talk to her,
I can get close to her,
get her on our side.
No, no, don't try it. It's no use.
- No, it doesn't make sense.
- It doesn't?
No, it's no good, no.
Where is it?
Where is it?
The key.
Give it to me or I'll tell him
you have it.
There, under the pallet.
Why? Why did you help us?
- Why did you lie for us?
- I didn't do it for you.
I did it for the baby.
Thank you.
Listen...
Nobody deserves to be treated like that.
It was very brave what you did.
We'll never forget it.
Come on!
- Let's go! Up!
- Where are you taking him?
Leo! don't hurt him, please! Leo!
Leo!
Leo!
Open your mouth, Len.
Open your mouth!
Let's go.
Leo.
Leo, Leo, can you hear me?
Hold on.
I'm going to hold on.
For our child.
For the three of us.
Leo, Leo, the battery's going,
the monitor battery's going.
Hold on, hold on.
I love you with all my soul,
honey, I love you.
Help me!
Something... somethings wrong!
Help me, please!
What? Whats wrong with you?
- Is something wrong with my baby?
- What?
- Something's wrong.
- I'll check you out.
I don't want to lose my baby.
It's okay.
It's not going to happen yet.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
It's just the mucus plug.
Can you walk? Let's get up.
- Where's Leo?
- Leo's fine.
He is?
don't worry about him.
Let's go.
Whats the matter now?
- Can I bathe her? She stinks.
- Please.
Make it quick.
What did they do to you? What happened?
- He needed to be punished.
- Leo! Leo!
Feeling better now?
- Yes, thanks.
- Let's get you downstairs again.
Listen, your son...
Do you know where he is now? Is
he with his dad?
I don't know.
That must be really tough.
- What happened?
- The doctors took him away.
- The doctors?
- In prison.
So, you don't know where he is?
- I never knew.
- You never tried to find him?
What is this?
- An interrogation?
- No, no.
You want to know who I am
so the police can find me?
No.
Time to go.
Can I get some clean
clothes? I won't be long.
- Can I show you something?
- Hey...
- Where are you going?
- You'll like it, I promise.
It's something good.
It's a pretty cape. Will you let
me put it on you?
It's Italian.
Oh, you look lovely.
I'd like you to keep it.
- Really?
- Yes, it looks like it was made for you.
Your friend?
Is he your sons dad?
Him? No.
I barely knew him.
Why do you let him treat you so badly?
In the end they're all the same.
Basically sperm donors.
Well, that's not quite true.
There are good men.
They're just harder to find.
It took me many years to find Leo.
It's never too late to rebuild your life.
- My life's already fucked.
- No, no. You're too young.
We can help you.
We don't want to harm you.
We just want to start a family
and be happy.
- Yes.
- It's not too much to ask, is it?
Nothing bad will happen to your child.
I promise.
It's moving.
May I?
You read Leo's book, didn't you?
I found it in the prison library.
He's a genius.
My favorite lesson is 33.
Adapt or die.
It gave me a new perspective on life.
It's my neighbor.
Take her downstairs.
I'll deal with this guy.
You're a good person.
You don't have to submit to this guy.
Leo and I can testify that...
he forced you,
he forced you. You can use our money.
To look for your son.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
It's too late now.
No, you made bad decisions.
It's not your fault.
The prison psychiatrist told me.
Nobody's born fucked up, except you.
No, prisons have the worst doctors.
Leo's a genius. You said so yourself.
You can trust us, I promise, I promise.
No, thanks. Get inside.
Wait, wait, please.
Look, I understand that you've
lost faith in yourself.
But you can't give up. Not on your son.
You're his mom.
What's your son's name?
Shut your mouth and get inside.
Mine's going to be called
Charlie, after Charles Darwin.
Leo admires him so much.
I told you my childs name.
Now tell me your son's name.
There were shots. What happened?
Your neighbor is very insistent
and he paid for it with his life.
And how's Maggie?
Alive.
- And the baby?
- Still there.
Why are you doing this, Cara?
It's what you did to me.
No, no,...
...there was no choice.
Did you think you could change country,
start a new life, forget everything?
I loved you, Leo.
You promised to marry me
when I got out of prison.
- Why did you disappear?
- It was for your own good.
You needed to learn to have
confidence in yourself.
You wouldn't have made it with me
by your side.
I'm glad to see that it was the
best decision.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had
the courage to come.
This is a breakthrough in your life.
I'm very proud of you.
We could've been so happy, Leo.
I never thought I'd see you again.
Now you show up like this, all
of a sudden,
and nothing makes sense, only you.
We can go away together now.
I love you, Cara.
I can give you what you've always wanted.
Does your wife know
you're a criminal monster?
You're in my hands now.
Adapt or die.
Where is she? Where is she?
She should be here.
How long ago did you meet your
lady friend?
What do you care about that?
They know each other.
Did you know?
That's why you're here.
She's manipulating you.
She's manipulating us. Both of us.
She'll fuck off with all your money.
Where were you?
Getting this idiot. Where else?
Let's go.
Maggie, honey!
- Maggie!
- No, no.
She called you...
a criminal monster.
Whatever that lunatic told you,
don't let her mess with your mind, Maggie.
She didn't tell me, I saw you.
That lunatic was your partner.
She was my patient when I gave
therapy in the prison.
- Who the hell are you?
- I'm the person you know, Maggie.
- You're the father of her child.
- No.
Do you have other children
scattered around?
- Are they all called Charlie?
- What?
You told her you love her.
I told her the lie she wanted to hear.
Did you lie to her before
or are you lying to me now?
That woman, Maggie,
has a disorder,
a serious psychotic disorder.
She can't distinguish between
reality and fantasy.
For many years she was obsessed with me.
And she made up stories.
Now she suddenly appears like
this, out of nowhere. Here.
After so long.
Everything I told her was a lie.
You're a good liar.
No, no, Maggie, please, no.
Let's not let these people
keep hurting us.
I love you, you love me,
we love each other
and we're going to be parents.
And we have to survive all this.
That's all that matters.
I grabbed it when they weren't looking.
You're very brave, Maggie.
We have to wait,
wait for the right moment to use this.
Relax, it'll all be fine, it'll
all be fine.
Relax, we'll make it out of this.
it'll all be fine.
- Are you okay?
- I think my water's have broken.
Yes, yes.
Come. Come here.
Relax, breathe, breathe.
Come on, sit down.
Relax, relax, relax.
You have to check me, look me over.
You have to see how far along I am.
It's... it's... very far along.
- Is it coming now?
- Yes, relax, breathe. Breathe.
I have to go to the hospital.
Open up!
Open up!
It's coming! The babys coming!
It's coming! Open up!
Hey! Hey!
The babys coming! Open up!
- Whats the matter?
- It's coming. Help me.
Relax, relax, honey. Breathe, breathe.
She's very dilated. Let's get her up.
That's it.
Careful, that's it. Breathe, breathe.
- C'mon, one foot after the other.
- What the hell's going on here?
- The baby's coming.
- It's coming, it's coming. Please.
- It's going... to be fine.
- You stay there.
- Just don't push.
- No, please, please.
No! Let me be there, please!
- Where are you taking her?
- Relax, you'll be fine.
Hey! I asked you a question!
If she or the baby dies, well
never get the money. Help me.
- Let me be with my baby, please!
- Shut the fuck up!
Let me be with my baby! Please, let me!
I need to go to the hospital.
We're going to the bedroom. You're
giving birth at home, honey.
No, no, no, no. I can't give birth here.
No, no, no. I can't have my baby, please.
I need to go to the hospital, I beg you.
Let me be with my baby, please!
Come on.
Slowly.
- Not here.
- Lie down.
Get me the bag from the SUV.
You don't give the orders here.
I have everything I need for the
birth in the SUV.
What the hell are you plotting?
How do you know the guy in the cellar?
He was my psychiatrist in prison.
Okay.
And what else?
You want the money.
I want the baby.
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Very serious.
Fine. It's a deal.
But give me the gun.
You don't need it to play doctor.
I can see the head.
Do you know what You're doing?
Was it the same for you?
No.
They tied me to the bed, drugged me
and told me my baby was going to die.
That I was going to die if he
didn't come out.
But it was a plan.
They didn't even let me hold it.
Leo is the father, isn't he?
What else did he do?
He trafficked narcotics in the prison.
He'd prescribe drugs and I'd sell them.
I wasn't his only girl, but I was
his favorite.
Lots and lots of money.
Hold on!
Here it is.
I'm going to help deliver it.
you'll see, you keep breathing.
Relax, relax your muscles,
let your body make the effort. That's it.
You're doing great, great.
That's it, that's all.
It's coming. It's coming.
I can see it. Push.
Push! Push!
Very good. A bit more.
- Is it a boy or a girl?
- A girl.
- Is she all right?
- She's perfect.
Let me hold her.
Let me soothe my baby.
Why did you bring all that?
No, no, no, no.
No, no, don't go with my baby.
Please, where are you taking her?
don't take her, please, don't take her.
Let me hold my baby, please.
You have the chance to be a mom.
You can get pregnant again.
Please, don't take my baby.
Take anything you want, but don't
take my baby, please.
don't take my baby.
- Please, no.
- So? Are you done?
Look.
There, there, it's okay.
Mom's here.
There, there.
It's okay.
- Mom's here.
- No, no, I'm her mom.
Give me my baby, please, give me my baby.
Cara!
She wants to take our baby.
Don't let her, please.
Not another step.
This won't work for you.
Look at this mess.
don't make it worse.
The police will hunt you down
until the end of the world.
I'm going to disappear like you,
start again.
Do you have any idea what
it takes to disappear?
Your whole plan has a gaping error.
You...
- can't run from yourself.
- Shut up!
You have no chance...
unless I help you.
I know how to disappear. I have
money in other accounts.
Lots of money.
I can get papers, another identity.
We'll be in Canada by tonight.
You, the baby and me.
Isn't that what we always dreamt of,
a family?
I never stopped loving you.
Prove it!
I'm sorry, Maggie.
I'm sorry.
I promise I'll raise a daughter
you'd be proud of.
There, there, my girl.
Mom will be right back.
Relax.
No.
No!
Where are you?!
Give me back my daughter!
I'm going to find you!
Cara.
What are you going to do?
I'm unarmed. You're not going to
shoot me.
Do you know what?
I'm taking my daughter.
I'm not leaving her with a mental case.
You're sick in the head.
I can lock you up
in a psychiatric home forever.
And they'll take the girl away
from you anyway.
So it's better...
if I take my daughter
and you do whatever you want
with your life.
Eh?
You don't have the killer
instinct, Maggie.
Honey.
