La Madre

Move! Move!

Move, and I'll shoot you.

I've waited too long for this...

Officials are now warning residents

to take caution as a rash of

recent kidnappings is plaguing the city,

which is believed to be the ripple effect

of a violent war between two new factions

of the same Mexican Cartel,

and their attempt to dominate to the area.

The Cartel usually extorts and targets

prominent, wealthy families...

You know, maybe it's time we think about moving from here.

As I've told you and your sister many times before,

our family has been in this city for generations.

I will not leave my home

because of the actions of a few bad men.

remain vigilant and report

any suspicious activities...

I see you.

Don't try me, kiddo. I go to spin class every other day.

I didn't do nothing!

If I let you go, you'll never come back here. Right?

I'm serious.

I'm doing you a solid.

Don't let me catch you in my shop, again.

Now go.

Why? You just know he's just going to steal

from somewhere else, right?

Maybe. Maybe not.

You could see in his eyes

he's never been arrested before.

Friend from school?

Just a customer. Everything okay?

Mom just let a little thief go after we caught him stealing.

Saw him. Looked absolutely terrifying.

Can I leave a little early tonight? I have study group.

Kinda late, no? What about dinner?

I'll grab something on the way.

Don't worry, I'll be home around 10:00 or so.

Eva baby

please

be careful, hm?

Can you at least count your drawer?

Unbelievable!

- Hey, girl. - Hey.

Did you bring another change of clothes?

No.

Well, that ain't gonna work.

Don't worry, I got you.

I got plenty of clothes inside.

You sure about this, Bianca? I don't know anyone in there.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Hi.

So...

I was thinking of maybe taking the weekend off.

Mimi's in town.

So, I wanted to spend some time with her.

Mom?

- Mom, did you hear me? - Yes, Raquel, I did.

You just know how busy the weekends get.

Am I not allowed to have a life or something?

Baby, you know we can't depend on Eva.

So Eva gets to do as she pleases,

but me on the other hand...

Can we not do this again? Please.

No. I want to do this.

Eva is a big girl now,

she needs to pull her own weight around here.

And you can't stop from babying her.

I know, baby, I know.

Please remember, I ditched college to help you here.

Don't you think I deserve some of my own time,

now that Eva's about to graduate high school?

Yes. You do deserve it.

I know I've made my fair share of mistakes with you.

Having you so young...

I know I should've been more of a mother,

rather than treating you like my best friend.

I'd like to have a family of my own, someday.

I can't do that working here every day.

Things will change. Hm? I promise.

I don't really drink.

- Don't really, or never have? - Never have.

You worry too much, girl. Relax. Everyone here is cool.

I can still have fun and not drink.

Are you being serious right now? You asked for this.

Said you wanted some adventure, some fun in your life.

Maybe I should just send you home

if you're gonna act all uppity and shit.

That's what I'm talking about, bitch. Come on.

Let's dance.

I'm making tea, would you like some?

Yes, please.

Oh, no.

Uh, maybe...

I think we should slow down a little.

I don't even know your name.

Javi.

Don't worry about it, baby.

You're in good hands.

Please stop. Stop!

I've never done this before.

It's not funny. I just want to go home, okay.

Where's Bianca?

Bianca, is that you?

- Why are being so mean? - Mean? No.

- This is mean. - No!

Where's Eva?

She's not in her room?

Not like her to be out this late on a weeknight.

She's not picking up.

Or her phone probably died.

She's always on that thing.

I'll call Lisa. She'll know where Eva's at.

Hey, Lisa. Yeah, everything's fine.

I was just wondering, you know where Eva's at?

She'll be worth a lot.

Why you gotta do it like this?

What can I say, I like to play with my food.

This right here,

is how we win the war with thosepinche culos,

and I take over this city.

Okay, thank you. Yeah, let me know.

Thanks, bye.

She doesn't know anything about a study group,

but there's a fundraiser tonight at the center.

Go get our coats.

Mom, she's fine.

Something doesn't feel right.

I want to go look for myself.

Just to be sure.

If you pay the ransom and don't involve

the authorities, there's no reason for anybody to get hurt.

Your beautiful daughter will be back home

like nothing ever happened.

Once you pass 68, you'll see a diner...

Let me ask you something.

How far are you willing to go to keep your daughter safe?

Hello, Mother Martha.

I am El Chacal.

Here to assist you with this unfortunate transaction.

Did you bring what was discussed?

So can I see my daughter now?

Please bring sweet little Eva.

Mother Martha here is dying to see her.

Eva! Eva, baby! Eva! Baby!

Baby! Eva! Eva!

No! No!

- Mom! Mom! - Eva!

Baby!

Help! Help me, please!

Help me! Help!

Lower your voice, please.

They can't help you.

We own places all over the city.

We had a deal. I did everything I was asked to do.

You have your money.

Mother Martha, I am sorry, but unfortunately,

the price for your daughter has doubled.

What do you mean?

I've given you everything I have.

I even had to take a loan to cover this amount.

Again, I am sorry.

The price is now double.

I want my daughter back.

Please.

I'm sure you do.

With a fancy house and a fancy store like yours...

I'm sure you will find a way

to come up with the rest of the money.

Pay the new amount, and there will no problem this time.

I promise.

In the meantime, I'll hold onto this as a deposit.

Is that okay?

I'll tell you what

out of the goodness of my heart,

I'll give you

ten days to come up with the rest.

But remember, the sooner you get it to us,

the sooner sweet Eva will be back in your arms again.

Um, yeah...

I believe, this goes without saying,

that if you fail to pay...

Well

your worst nightmares cannot

compare to what we will do to your daughter.

No.

Have a great day.

No. No.

No, please, no!

No, let me out of here!

Hey, you-you should save your strength.

You are gonna need it, trust me.

Here.

How long have you been here?

Mmm...

A few weeks.

Maybe more.

Weeks?
