LAND OF WOMEN

Can I come in?

Hello.

Uh...

I'll be upstairs if you need me.

Good night.

That is for abandoning us.

And that is for the weeks I've been in this town without hearing from you!

And that is for running off with some woman

while we're being chased down by Tony's thugs!

Just let me explain, honey. Please.

Call me honey one more time, I'm gonna hit you even harder!

Just... I... I never meant to abandon you.

I-I had to leave just to try and keep you safe.

We're clearly not safe, Fred!

It was a mistake! I know that now.

- A mistake? - Yeah.

A mistake is stealing a robe from a hotel.

You stole $15 million!

No, I... I... I didn't steal the money.

I didn't. I borrowed it. I borrowed it.

- You borrowed it. Oh, my God. - Yes. Yes.

- I borrowed it from Tony. -

To invest in an apartment block in Brooklyn.

I was advised... very, very badly, I might add...

that I could sell the properties from the plans for 40% over the market.

All I needed was an investor.

So why not go to the bank like a normal person does?

'Cause the bank, uh, wouldn't give me a loan.

- Um... - Why not?

'Cause I already had a d... had a debt with them.

What debt?

I had a line of credit for, uh... ...seven million dollars.

- I was ashamed, Gala. -

I-I didn't want you to think I was a failure.

I-I-I just wanted to make things right.

And that's why I borrowed the money from Tony.

So I could...

I-I was just... just trying to make you happy.

The construction had started on the site, and then the investors,

you know, they started pulling their money out.

Just one after another after another.

And...

And then since no money was coming in, I had to stop construction on the site,

and I had already spent most of Tony's money.

And...

So I-I couldn't pay him back.

So, I, uh... Just...

So you left.

Yeah. I left.

And then I-I-I met this woman.

And she was a diplomat in an embassy.

And she told me that she could get jewelry out of the country

without, uh, too much trouble.

Fred, is that my necklace?

Okay, we made a deal.

You made a deal?

I saw the photo.

She was like some sort of sex kitten, and you took her to Monaco!

Baby, nothing happened between me and her.

Our whole life is a lie, Fred.

I-I don't even know who I am anymore.

I know I can't pay Tony's money back.

I wish I could, but I just... I just can't.

But I think I have found a way for us to make a fresh start.

A fresh start? What, you think I'm an idiot?

Just hear me out, huh?

So much of what we owe is in your name.

I'm so sorry, Gala.

This is the only way we can both start anew and keep our family safe.

I can't do this without you.

Tomorrow night at ten o'clock, there is a cruise

set to depart from Barcelona going to Argentina.

And I got tickets and fake passports for all of us.

And I know I may be bad at business, but... but everything I did was for us.

Going back is not an option and neither is staying here.

Will you come with me?

They wanted to kill me, Gala.

Say something, please, Gala.

- Oh, shoot. It's Kevin. - Kevin?

Wait. "Kevin" as in Hank and Kevin? Tony's hit men?

Yes! Tony's hit men.

They're here? Now?

Yeah. And they found us way before you did,

which doesn't say a lot about you.

Did they do anything to you?

Oh, no, nothing. They just put guns to our heads.

You know, I should let them take you for all the hell you put us through.

Gala.

Gala, you're not considering...

No. Come on. Let's go out the back door.

- I'm not leaving you here. -

- Wait. It's way too dangerous. - Now you wanna be a hero?

Hey, Julia. How are ya?

- I want to smack you! - No, no, Mom!

- Enough! Come on. Let's go. - You asshole!

Now we need to get him out of here. You have to distract him.

- Who? - Kevin.

Dad.

Hey, baby. Hey. Come here.

I gotta go now. I promise you we will catch up soon.

- I promise. - No. But you just got here.

Hey there!

Happy to see you.

What's with all the racket?

Well, I'm a little deaf, and the TV high, high.

So you won't mind if I take a look around, grandma?

Sure. Make yourself at home.

Do you want a glass of milk?

I'm going to have one.

Milk? Okay?

It's from the neighbors' cow.

Um...

It's all I had, okay?

- You're gonna see him later. - I love you.

Tell Amat to see us on the road, okay?

Okay?

Listen!

Oh, well, aren't you jacked?

You are very strong.

A lot of exercise, no?

- I-I work out. - It's real, eh?

So how about a glass and some cookies too?

Okay. Come on.

So-So, this, uh... this "Armand," does he live here?

Amat. His name is Amat.

And yes, he lives here. He bought my aunt's house.

But doesn't matter.

Oh, look, there he is.

- Hurry. Hurry, let's go. - Hey, hey, hey.

You... You can't stay here.

Now let me help you get out of here.

At the port. Tomorrow night. At 10:00 p.m.

- I'll be waiting for you. - Fred, we just...

Are we in a hurry or not?

- We go? - Yeah, yeah.

Thanks.

The cookies are good, aren't they? Yeah.

Really good.

Although, to go to sleep,

I have a magic solution.

You are something else.

- What was that? -

I didn't hear anything.

Do you mind? We are sleeping.

I'm sorry.

Sweet dreams.

Do you mind telling us what that idiot is doing here?

He wants to make things right.

That's easy. He should return the money.

No. Don't tell me. He doesn't have it.

He doesn't have it?

He doesn't have it.

Then how does he expect to make things right?

I don't know, Mom.

But he has a plan.

He wants us to leave with him.

What a coward. He wants to run away.

You didn't think of saying yes?

No, Mom. I didn't say yes. I didn't say anything.

He came out of nowhere, told me that story,

and then that guy came in.

I thought he was going to kill him.

He's the father of my daughter. What did you expect me to do?

Are you really asking me or was that rhetorical?

I thought everything would be all right when Dad came.

I thought so too.

What are we going to do now?

Hmm?

Well, um...

Yeah, uh, thank you for, uh, taking care of my family.

They come every one hour and a half.

Hmm?

Oh.

How will I know if one just came?

If it hasn't come in one hour and a half, then it just came.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Right.

Oh, oh, oh. Hey, hey.

Do me a favor. Um, can you... can you give them these?

I can't keep them safe here.

Those bad guys are just part of a larger mess.

If you really care about them, you'll tell them to come with me.

Thanks.

He gave me this to give to you.

I don't know what mess your husband is in, but I know he has dragged you into it.

So he wants you to go with him.

Are you going to?

I don't know.

After all his lies?

Those guys nearly killed us.

I bought us a little time thinking I was going to find Fred, and now I don't know.

They don't just want Fred now.

Would you happen to have $15 million lying around?

Trust your instincts, Gala.

CANADA PASSPORT

Wake up, gentlemen. You have to come with us.
