Curse of the Weeping Woman: J-ok'el (J-ok'el: La Llorona)

Stop, stop, I need to stop!

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Do you know where this is?

No, no.

Where are you going?

El Camino a Las Estrellas.

Do you know where that is?

Do you know where this is?

Senor?

Habla?

Si, you don't remember me?

No, sorry...

Is she here?

She cannot know I called you.

No, no, no, thank you, I'm not staying here.

Your mother is terrified.

Last night, last night another child was taken,

a young boy, younger than Carolina.

I'll get a (Mumbles) for you.

No, no, I'll go.

Mom?

Pablo called you, didn't he?

I'm here for Carolina.

Want some lemonade?

No, thank you.

So, what are you doing these days, George?

Still painting houses?

I like what I do, mom.

You really should have some lemonade.

I don't want the lemonade!

I'm here to find Carolina, that's it, okay, nothing else.

What are the police saying?

Police don't know anything.

Okay, what about ransom demands?

Has anybody contacted you?

No, nothing.

Well, can Jose do something?

Doesn't he have some connections, some strings he can pull?

He's stuck in Cuba in the hurricane, luckily for you.

Did they take her medicine?

I'm handling it, George.

I didn't call you, I don't want you here.

Pablo!

Si?

Call Mr. Christensen a cab.

Why do you care, George?

Because she's my sister, she's my only...

She's my family.

Family?

A couple of cards in 10 years, that's family?

Stay by your phone, please.

Go home, George.

Christensen?

Yeah, me.

All right, walk in here.

Okay, my name's George Christensen.

My sister went missing four days ago, Carolina Moret.

Moret, Christensen?

Yeah, she's my half sister, my mother's Heather Moret.

It should all be in her file.

I just wanted a status of her..

No tell without (Foreign Language)

without proof...

Without proof of your relationship,

we cannot release nothing, sir.

Okay, look, my sister has a serious medical condition,

this is her inhaler.

If she doesn't have this when she needs it, she can die.

She's all ready been without it for four days now.

Please.

Dominguez?

I understand your situation.

, Senor Christensen.

But you need to understand (mumbles)

things, things is going to get much more complicated

if I do something extra for one people

and not for other person (mumbles).

Okay.

Can you tell me if there's been recent activity

by any underground organizations like drug gangs,

political groups, anything like that?

No, no, senor.

And it is best that you not concern yourself in the affairs.

What was that?

Where's her file?

You see all these people?

All the children's have been taken, like Carolina.

You are not the only one hurting.

Carolina's file is probably with all the others,

as we look for similarities..

Wait, probably?

At the time...

At the time we (mumbles) with you,

we have less time to find who is doing this

and to stop them.

Can you understand me?

You don't even know where your files are.

That's something I don't understand.

We are doing the best we can, okay?

The best.

This is not a (mumbles) your normal phenomenon,

this is not normal, Mr. Christensen.

We are over full, over full!

Go away.

Go away!

If she dies, you and your station will be responsible.

No, no.

Senor, no.

Gracias.

I'm sorry?

You speak English?

Well, yes.

May I help you?

I'm looking for my sister.

I don't know if maybe, maybe if you've seen her?

She's been missing for five days now.

Five days?

Wow, I'm so sorry.

My friend Gloria, her son went missing three days ago.

I'm sorry.

My sister's, she's not like other kids,

she has severe asthma, so without her inhaler,

she won't survive.

Then we should finish putting this up, right?

I can help you.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Was that your child I saw you with yesterday?

Oh, yes, Fernando.

Gloria takes care of him when I have to go out to work.

You cannot be too careful these days.

When your friends child was taken,

did anyone see anything?

Hmm mmm.

So no one as any idea of who's doing this?

Well, people think that it's Jokel.

Jokel, Jokel, that's what the woman last night

was screaming, what is that?

Her.

What, a woman?

Well, yes, but she killed herself almost 500 years ago.

I don't..

I don't understand.

Look.

People here paint things they're afraid of, spirits.

What, that's Jokel?

That's what they call her here, it's a Mayan name,

but most Mexican's call her (Foreign Language),

the weeping woman.

No, we shouldn't speak of her too loudly,

we shouldn't say her name.

It's too dangerous.

She was born here, in (mumbles),

she fell in love with a Spanish soldier.

They had two children and then he left her

for another woman.

At night, she went insane.

She took her children to a lake

and she drowned them.

So, this is what, like a bedtime story?

No, the moment when she realized what she had done,

she filled buckets with stones and

walked to the bottom of the lake.

Okay.

Don't you see?

She's searching for other children to take

the place of her own.

Wait, wait, wait.

That's what people think is happening here?

Oh, that's un...

That's fucking ridiculous!

So, instead of actually doing something,

they just run around screaming Jokel?

Jesus, how could you ever believe that medieval bullshit?

Wait.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

Look, um, I'm starving, is there somewhere

we could grab something to eat?

Do tacos make you sick?

Okay, then what am I supposed to do?

Yeah, I all ready did, they're completely worthless.

You know, what the fuck good is an embassy

if you're not gonna do a god damn thing?

Idiots!

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

What the hell happened in Mexico?

Things weren't always this bad.

When was the last time you were here?

I lived here when I was 15 for a while.

Your mother is Helen Moret, right?

She doesn't have any contacts?

She seems like a lovely lady.

It's not that I really know her,

but she's been living here for a long time.

So, you're not hungry?

She's uh, she's not real helpful.

She kind of hates me.
