- [Officer] Is everything okay?
[Maddy laughing]
- You coming to my rescue, the damsel in distress?
- Looks like you handled it yourself.
- My daddy taught me well.
It was running hot.
But he also taught me not to come out into the desert alone,
lotta wild animals out here.
- Yeah, where you headed?
- Nowhere, somewhere.
I don't know.
I just had to get outta where I was.
Bad relationship. [laughs]
At least I got the car.
- Yeah, I woulda pegged you for a Porsche or a BMW.
- Well, you know what they say.
- [Officer] No, what do they say?
- Don't judge a book by its cover.
- Mm.
All right, I'm just gonna check
your license and registration.
- 'Kay.
- This is not a good area for a breakdown.
We're close to the border, and there's too many coyotes.
I mean, not the animal kind,
not a place for a woman alone today.
Thank you. [brooding music]
- Hey, you gotta smoke?
I'd kill for a [laughs] cigarette right now.
- Yeah.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
[lighter clicking]
- Got it. - Mm.
- Oh.
Thanks. - You're welcome.
- You in a relationship?
- Yeah, it's fairly new.
- He a cop, too?
- Yep, he's the new cop in town.
- Was it love at first sight?
[officer laughs]
- More like lust.
All right, I'm just gonna run your license,
and then you're good to go.

[dramatic music]
- Hey, what, what's going on?
- Gimme your keys.
Give me your keys.

And gimme your gun.
Where is it?
- What, what, what, what's happening here?
- [Maddy] Gun, John.
- Just calm down.
Take it easy. - Gun, don't tell me
what to do.
Let's go.
[gun clanking]
- Just, just, just, hey.
- Come with me.
This way.
- Where are we going?
- You'll see.
Far enough.
- What the fuck are you doing?
- No, what are you doing, John?
- You know we're both dead now, right?
- Take off your shoes.
- [John] What?
- Take them off.
[gunshot blasting]
- Maddy, what the fuck's wrong with you?
- [Maddy] Take 'em off.
- Okay, okay.
You think you're gonna get away with this?
You're not gonna get away with this, Maddy.
They're gonna kill me.
Then, they're gonna come looking for you.
We can work this out.
I'm sorry, Maddy.
I know I've hurt you.
I still love you.
- How many times have I heard you say that?
It's bad enough what you did to me, but these girls.
What the fuck happened to you, John?
- I owe a lot of people a lot of money.
It's this fucking gambling.
They're gonna kill me, Maddy.
So I started doing favors for people
and helping people cross the border,
clearing the way, and they paid me to do that.
And then, it got bigger and bigger,
and now it's this whole fucking trafficking thing.
I have no idea how I got involved, Maddy.
I have no idea how I got in so deep, but I need you now.
Please, please don't leave me now.
I still love you.
We can make a fresh start.
- And, and Rhonda?

- So when can I take you up on your offer
to show me around your lovely little town?
- Well, I'm just finishing up for Shiv right now.
Do you like tequila?
- I do.
[mellow music]
So what is a beautiful woman like you doing single
and living alone in a small town like this?
- Oh. [laughs]
I could use that same line on you, [laughs]
not that you are beautiful.
Well, but you are. [laughs]
Um, I was married once,
but he died of cancer.
- Oh, I'm sorry about that.
- Thank you.
We were divorced before, um, before he got sick.
But we were still in touch, though.
We were high school sweethearts. [laughs]
He had an affair, so I had to leave.
I grew up in this town, so.
- He a cop, too?
- No, he was a carpenter.
What about you?
- [John] Me?
- Yeah. [laughs]
[John laughs]
- Also divorced.
Also made my childhood sweetheart,
[Rhonda laughs]

I'm pretty sure we'd be taken out on the way

across the country like some sort of vigilantes,
I'm just not up for that.
But I do know I'm not making much of a difference as a cop,
and I'm done.
I'm done with men just getting away with shit.
I also know a bit about gambling.
Come from a family of gamblers,
and I wanted to save them, [laughs]
and eventually, they took me so down with them
that I had to cut them off.
And that's why I wanted to become a cop.
I wanted to help people [laughs]
or at least just go out trying,
but you know, we're just putting Band-Aids
on to slow the bleeding.
- My sentiments exactly.
At first, I was just gonna warn you and disappear
after helping one truckload.

I mean, I don't have a 10-year plan or anything,

than what I like John.

Sorry, I put you in the trunk.

Rhonda, I need your 20, stat.

- All units, this is Detective John Booth.
Suspect is my ex-partners ex.
She's also an ex-cop gone rogue.
I know it's a lot of exes, but make no mistake,
she has shown violent tendencies.
She is armed, and she is crazy.
[static hissing]
[bone clanking]
- [Officer] What do you think?
- Well, it's too early to tell,
but we do think it's two bodies,
and we found remnants of a police uniform.
- Do you really think John's ex is capable of this?
I'll make the call.
- Okay, good news and bad news.
I found 'em.
They're both dead, and the money's destroyed.
I don't know.
She must have taken a hostage planning
to split the money with him, and all went wrong,
something like that.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah?
[John laughs]
She did have those kind of balls.
Yeah, she was an ex-cop, you know.
Well, give us a week, and we'll be back on track.

- Are you okay?
You're shaking.
- Well, it's not like every day I commit armed robbery.
- Yeah.
Look, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we shoot him.
We do what we have to do.
- Yeah, you know, as a cop, I wouldn't say that too often.
[both laughing]
Come on.
Let's go.
Come on, let's get outta here.
- Do you refuse to speak to me?
[Rhonda laughs]
- Yeah.
- Hi, father. - No, sit, my child.
Sit.
- Hi, father. - Just stopped
by to see how the English lessons are going.
- Oh, quite well, right, Sara?
- Si, good.
[Father Francis laughing]
- Oh, bless you, my children, okay?
Bless you, bless you, child.
- Just keep studying, okay?
- Si.
- How you doing today, father?
- [Father Francis] Ah, blessed, today is a blessed day.
- Okay, father, this is your lunch
and for your supplies, okay?
Now, please be careful.
- My child, how many times do I have to tell you?
With God on my side, nothing can hurt me.
A few of your [laughing] prayers won't hurt.
[dispatcher speaking indistinctly]
- [Officer] Hey.
- Hey, where's Officer Brown?
- Resigned.
He's making more money as an MMA fighter, apparently.
- No kidding?
- Yeah.
- [laughing] Oh, man.
I guess everybody makes more money than cops.
- Yeah.
Oh, hey John. - Yeah.
- Mystery thickens.
I just sent you some security footage from the bus station.
You might find something interesting in there, I think.
- Thanks, pal.

Detective Booth.
- [Technician] John.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hi, I wanted to get to you as soon as possible.
It looks like the human remains are
neither your suspect or your victim.
I, I'm sorry it took so long.
It was, uh, quite the puzzle,
but it does seem that someone is trying to lead us astray.
So as soon as I have more info,
I will get back to you immediately.
- Thank you, buddy.
I really appreciate that.
[phone clanking]
[John laughing]
Man.
[plastic rustling]
[mellow music]
Someone got a sweet tooth there, huh, padre?
[Father Francis laughs]
- Guilty as charged.
[plastic rustling]

either of these two ladies?
[dramatic music]
Take your time.
Take a look.
- No.
- Okay.
Thanks for your time.
[dramatic music continues]
- Go with God, my son.
- Oh, I don't think God's on my side anymore, padre,
but thanks just the same.
- Time's up, brother.
You know, we let your partner go once,
and he actually assured us
that your protection [laughs] was secure,
and yet we lost another load.
- I'm on it, man.
I'm getting you money and a new buyer.
You can double the supply and make up for the loss.
Done. [hands clapping]
- Oh, done?
[gun clanking]
[door clattering]
- Son, you forgot your credit card.
[gun clanking]
- Oh, it seems like today is your lucky day, too.
I draw the line at shooting in front of a padre.
Here are our new terms.
We'll have a new delivery for you next week,
and if it doesn't get through,
or anything outside of our deal happens,
I personally will remove the rest of your digits
[knife clanging] [John screaming]
and every other piece of you slowly.
[Manny speaking Spanish]
- I understand. - [laughing] Yeah?
Bueno.
Because we've had just about enough of the two Johns.
'Kay?
- Okay.
- Oh, and when we call,
please pick up your phone.
- I'll do that.
- It's really annoying.
- I still have my credit card, father.
Thank you.

- Be safe.

I just wanted to make sure you were prepared.
Besides, it's fun.
- Fun?
I almost wet myself and not in a good way. [laughs]
- I kinda missed you.
- I kind of missed you, too. [gentle music]
- Come.
Come, they're here.
- Oh, okay. - Come.
- This candy, is this welcome for me or for the candy?
- Both.
[Father Francis laughing]

And Sara, welcome the new girls.

- Don't worry, father.
He won't find us here.
- I'll be praying.
- Yay.
- There's food.
[Rhonda speaking Spanish]
- Thank you.
All right, girls, let's say grace, okay?
So we wanna thank our Lord for bringing us our girls,
um, for Father Francis, for the safety of our home.
I also wanna thank for this yummy, scrumptious meal
we're about to receive and amen.

- Hey, pal.
- [Officer] Keith wants to see you.
- John. - Sir.
- The abandoned truck was located last week
close to the same location as the other one.
- Yeah?
- There's evidence of trafficked girls in there,
and apparently, they made a pretty quick exit.
I, uh, sent the information to your computer.
- Thanks, boss.
- Um.
- What?
- From above. - Yeah.
- You gotta head back into the city in two weeks.
It looks like the results aren't justifying continuing.
- What are you talking about?
Our team gets 12 trucks every six months.
- Apparently, it's not enough.
Also, your funds have been reallocated
to fighting the avocado war.
- The what?
- The cartels have moved into produce.
[John laughs]
At least now it's easier for the government to get rid
of the goods they confiscate.
[John laughing]
Politics, what can I tell ya?
- Yeah, okay.
Thanks, boss.
- Um, one other thing.
- What?
[phone ringing]
[feet shuffling]
[John clears throat]
What's up, sarge?
- Your old partner, John Watson.
- [John] Yeah.
- He's under investigation.
Looks like he might be a dirty cop.
He's gone AWOL, too.
- Man.
- [Keith] Detective.
- Mm-hmm?
- You okay?
- I just need a little sleep.
- Mm-hmm, understandable, with Rhonda missing
and your ex-partner and his girlfriend involved.
We're not gonna call off the search,
but you and I both know,
if we haven't come across anything by now,
I don't have to tell you
how many unclaimed bodies are buried out there.
- I know.
- I don't know what you do with that one.
In this kind of work,
you have to get a license to get a dog,
but some of these girls have been sold by their own parents.
What kind of person does that to another human?
- I know. - Huh?
[dramatic music]
You sure you didn't have any inkling about your old partner?
Okay.
[dramatic music continues]
[John exhales]
[door creaking]
- [Rhonda] Good afternoon.
- Ugh, I didn't sleep much last night.
- [Rhonda] Do you wanna talk about it?
- [sighs] Not really.
I could use some coffee.
- [Rhonda] All right.
[dishes clanking]
I made it for you. [laughs]
[coffee sloshing]
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
What is it?
Maddy?
What is it?
- It's just seeing his face.
- Yeah.
Did you think about talking with Father Francis?
- Oh, stop shoving your fucking religion down my throat.
- Okay, okay.
- I mean, all the things I've done, the things we've done,
you really think your God would be okay with that?
- Our God.
[Maddy exhales] God is love.
- 99% of the cops I know get into it to save lives,
not to take 'em.
When I was a little girl, I would imagine growing up,
and getting married, and having kids.
- [laughing] Yeah.
We all wanted that, loving family,
nice husband, and kids. [laughs]
- John took that away from me.
[water sloshing] [gentle music]
[glass shattering]
- Maddy.
Maddy.
- Sorry, sorry, what did you say?
- You just look miles away.
We were just talking about how this could be our chance
to have a loving family. [brooding music]
- Yeah, maybe.
- Do you think we should hold off on tomorrow?
- No, no.
- John's getting pretty close.
- No.
It's all the more reason to move forward.
John's getting desperate.
That's why he's getting more girls.
We go ahead with the plan.
Made a pact, didn't we?
- Yeah.
- Get out as many girls as we can.
- Okay.
What made you stop believing in God?
- Wasn't an instant thing.
After you see the way that humans treat humans continuously,
sitting in courtrooms and watching potheads going to jail
while rapists, and racists, and murderers go free
on some technicality.
- Yeah.
- Only the dumb ones get caught.
- Yeah.
Many have lost their way.
[Maddy laughs]
- You're starting to sound like Father Francis.
[Rhonda laughs]
- You know, God knows we're not perfect.
He doesn't expect us to be.
He's also all loving.
[Maddy sighs]
He's also all forgiving.
I'm just saying, like,
if only you would just, you know, try talking
with Father Francis.
Maybe that would help you sleep better at night.
- Now, I just really don't feel like talking at all.
[engine humming]
[brooding music] [door clattering]
- You are late.
- Yeah, well, maybe if you assholes would stop trailing me
all over town, proving nothing except I'm capable
of losing your tail, so stop wasting your time.
You're new.
Where are you from?
You're not Mexican.
- Being Mexican is not part
of the job description, motherfucker.
Shalom, let's keep this moving.

[zipper whizzing]
I want you to know, I had orders to dispose of you today
if anything wasn't according to plan.
You being 20 minute late was not according to plan.
[door buzzing] [brooding music continues]
[engine humming]
All right, let's go.
- [Rhonda] Get out slowly.
- Do you know who you're dealing with?
- [Maddy] Get out slowly.
Leave the gun and the keys.
[brooding music continues]
[Rhonda speaking Spanish]
[door clattering]
[Rhonda speaking Spanish]
- What are you waiting for?
[Rhonda speaking Spanish]
- [Driver] You are dead.
[keys jangling]
[gunshot blasting]
[both grunting]
[knees thudding]
[fist thudding]
[elbow thudding]
[both grunting]
[body thudding]
[gun clanking]
[foot thudding]
[dramatic music continues] [Maddy groaning]
[hand thudding]
[body thudding]
[both grunting]
- Fucker.
[elbow thudding]
[gangster grunting] [gun clanking]
[Maddy groaning]
- Hey. [gunshot blasting]
[body thudding]
[Rhonda breathing heavily]
I'll take the truck this time.
You need to get yourself cleaned up.
Come on.
[Rhonda grunting]
You okay? - Yeah, yeah.
- [Rhonda] All right. [grunting]
[dramatic music continues]
[Rhonda speaking Spanish] [gentle music]
- It's Anna.
- Okay, Anna.
[Rhonda speaking Spanish]
[gentle music continues]
- I can handle this.
[liquid sloshing]
But that little one today, Anna,
she's only eight years old.
- You're doing good work.
[glasses clinking]
Good work.
- But are we really making a difference?
It's never ending.
- I used to feel the same way.
Then, my priest told me a story.
There was a little girl walking along the beach
with her grandfather,
and there were thousands of starfish washed up
on the shore, and they were all dying.
The little girl was really upset.
So they started throwing them back in the water,
and after a while, they were exhausted.
And the little girl said, "It's no use.
We can't save them all.
We're not making any difference."
And the grandfather instructed the little girl,
"Just pick up that one," and she did,
threw it back in the water.
And he said, "See, you are making a difference to that one."
[Rhonda clearing throat]
- I'm getting the girls ready for bed
a little early tonight.
- Thanks.
- It's about time.
Where the fuck have you been?
- [John] I'm trying to fix things.
- Oh, are you gonna be here tonight?
This is getting outta hand, you know.
- [John] I'm a bit busy keeping us alive.
- Are you joking?
Why would I trust you?
The shit you've gotten me into,
and you're nowhere to be found.
- [John] I told you I'm gonna fix things.
- Then, fix things, then fix things.
[phone beeps]
[brooding music]
- [Dealer] It's on you.
[brooding music continues]
- [Player] How much is that?
- 15,000.
[John laughing]
- Big time.
[brooding music continues]
- Last hand, I'm in.
All in.
- [Dealer] He's all in.
- You got this?
- I guess it's my lucky night. [laughs]
[door clattering]
You can forget about it. [laughs]
Yeah.
[Manny laughing]
- Ooh, yeah, good times, good times, John.
Please, please.
Is that, is that for me?
- I was just on my way to the deliver this.
- Figured that, but how 'bout I save you a little trip?
Ooh.
[phone ringing]
Hey, your phone is ringing.
Pick it up.
[John clears throat]
- Yeah.
- [John] The shipment didn't arrive.
- What?
- [John] The truck never showed up.
We had our chance. - What?
- [John] And now we're well and truly fucked.
- Tell me what happened.
Tell me what happened.
- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just,
and will forgive us our sins,
and purify us from all unrighteousness.
[gentle music]
How are you doing, my child?
- I think I'm getting a little old to be called my child.
- Is there something troubling you?
- Oh, you mean more than usual?
The fact that I'm a cop and now a fugitive of the law.
John is closing in on us,
and I just shot a guy in the back of the head.
- The Lord sees you, Rhonda.
Keep asking him for forgiveness, and he'll show you the way.
- Thank you, father.
[door squeaking]
- Hey, what's up?
- Father Francis today talked
about, if we confess your sins-
- Uh, maybe this is something
you should talk to Rhonda about.
- No, uh, you, you saw me,
how I was before,
before I had done things,
made, made to do things.
My uncle,
how can anyone want me after what I've done?
- Sara, listen to me. [gentle music continues]
This is not your fault.
Look, we can't change what's happened in the past,
but Father Francis is right.
You have to forgive yourself.
It's okay.
I love you.
We all love you.
- My little brother, too?
He's a good boy.
Maybe, maybe he could come and, and live with us here.
- Honey, we've, we talked about this before.
This mission's only for girls.
Girls need time to build trust, and feel safe,
and just be girls.
I'm sorry.
It's just, it's just not safe
for you to contact him, okay?
Come here.
[pensive music]
[gravel crunching]
[Sara speaking Spanish]
[Sara continues speaking Spanish]
[pensive music continues]
[dramatic music]
[bicycle clattering]
[bully speaking Spanish]
[Carlos speaking Spanish]
[bully speaking Spanish]
- [laughs] Let's go.
[dramatic music continues]
[birds squawking]
- Do you think they'll be able to get over their past?
- With a lot of love and support, yeah, I do.
- Do you think we'll be able to get over ours?
- Maybe.
- It's just, you know, John wasn't always like that.
We had a few good years.
- Yeah.
- He was good physically. [laughs]
He did have a nice- - I know what you mean.
[Rhonda laughs]
[Maddy laughs]
[camera clicking] [gentle music continues]
- Maybe it was partially my fault.
- You know, all those domestics
we got called to, used to think like you.
Why do these women stay?
They were probably so damaged to put up with it.
I just thought they were weak.
I thought the same thing about my mother.
- I mean, once you know, how long do you stay
and try to help and support them before you lose yourself?
- When the bad outweighs the good.
- I ask myself, did John always have this evil in him,
or, or did it spread
like a cancer, just growing?
Is it the chicken or the egg?
- You know, I always wondered about that question. [laughs]
[Maddy laughing]
- I'm not sure I could explain it adequately either, father.
- Thank you. - Gracias.
- [Father Francis] Yeah, tequila fixes everything.
- Salud. - Salud.
[Father Francis exhales]
[Maddy laughing]
- What is it?
- I, I wrote letters to my brother.
[dramatic music]
[glass clinking]
- It's okay.
- [Voicemail] Leave a message.
- Please answer.
- [Voicemail] Leave a message.
[Maddy exhales]
Leave a message.
- Hi there, um, just wanted to let you know
that the weather has turned here.
It's time to go on vacation.
[dramatic music continues]
Hi there, um, just wanted to let you know
that the weather has turned here.
It's time to go on vacation.
[engine humming]
[door clattering]
[phone ringing]
- Yeah.
- [John] One of the soldiers has something for you.
Follow it up.
- Okay, but listen, that last truckload,
that girl was what, eight years old, maybe.
This is- - Hey,
you knew what you were getting into.
Don't develop a conscience now.
Send me a screenshot.
Don't fuck this up.
Maybe we let you live, too.
[dial tone blaring]
[phone beeping]
- Steve, I'm heading to the city.
I'll be gone two days max.
No intel shipments coming in this week, so it's all good.
Yeah.
Later.
[dramatic music continues]
- No, John was just there.
[engine humming]
- Well, then how did you meet Maddy?
[gentle music]
- Oh, first time I met her, she came to my house.
She was called to a domestic, they call it.
She was a cop.
The neighbors must have called.
I could see so much judgment in her eyes.
She was thinking,
"What does this rich, young couple got to fight about?"
Took me three times to leave him.
A third time, we were staying in this fancy resort,
and I must have taken too long to come back from the bar.
And then, he dragged me through the foyer
in this fancy resort, and all these people were staring.
Then, we got back to the hotel room,
and he just kept kicking me on the floor.
And I didn't do anything.
I just lay on the floor numb.
- The, the first time I was taken,
I went into town with my mother.
She took me to meet this woman at a store.
I was supposed to go with her,
and she was going to help me
go to a school. [laughs]
She, she looked very professional and successful.
- Oh.
- She even had her little baby girl with her.
She was very nice and told my mom
that I would be staying at her house
and that I would be looked after.
I was taken to a compound with security guards
and locked in a room where I was raped daily.
The only time we ever left the compound was
when we were taken to events,
poker games and men watching
big-screen football games.
We were the halftime entertainment.
One time, there were cops there.
I saw their badges, so even if I ran,
where would I run to?
And after six months, there was finally a raid
on the compound, and I was returned [laughs] to my family.
My mama, she cried a lot.
Papa, he couldn't look me in the eye.
- Maria, you are not alone today,
and I can't promise you
that you're ever gonna feel completely safe,
but I'm gonna do whatever I can to help you go on.
'Kay?
Okay?
- Yeah.
- When Father Francis comes tomorrow,
I would like to go with him and little Maria to help
at the mission, but I- - No, no, no, no.
That's a good idea.
This is just a stopover.
The mission is where you can grow strong
and empowered with time.
Okay?
- Oh.
Are you okay?
[keys jangling]
- Okay.
Now, we're gonna play a little game.
It won't be long before we're all at our new house,
but I want you to stay down, okay?
[dramatic music]
- Yeah.
[Father Francis speaking Spanish]
[Maria speaking Spanish]
- Okay.
You to, Maria, you get down.
[door clattering]
[plastic rustling]
[engine humming] [dramatic music continues]
- Fancy meeting you here again, father.
What, are you feeding the entire flock today?
- Well, I, I don't get into town so often,
so I'm stocking up.
- Right, right, right.
Where do you live?
- Just over the border.
- Mm.
Where over the border?
I'm curious.
I might like to come visit you, pay my respects.
- Well, uh.
[glass shattering]
[door clattering]
- [John] Ah, oh, man.
- Kids probably threw a rock, those little shits.
[John laughs]
- If I find 'em, I'll shoot 'em.
- Better get that fixed as soon as you can,
and watch out for the, uh, glass on the seat.
- Thanks for the advice, padre.
Hey, padre, I just realized I never got your address.
- Oh. - Hey, here,
write it down for me, would ya?
- Nothing really happens at my little mission,
but, [laughs] you know, you're welcome to stop by.
I'd better, uh, start getting back home
'cause it's getting dark,
and my eyes ain't what they used to be.
- I get it, sure. [Father Francis laughing]
[dramatic music continues]
Son of a.
- It's okay, but stay down.
We got it. [laughs]
- But he has the address now.
- Ay, silly me.
I must be losing my [speaking Spanish].
[Father Francis laughs]
I gave him the, the address to when I was a little boy.
[Maria laughing]
[engine revving]
[gear stick clattering]
- Come, come.
Let's make 'em feel welcome.
- She insisted on coming.
- Oh.
- [Maria] Hi.
I want to stay here- ♪ Show me who you are
- [Maria] and help you. ♪ Hidden diamond star
♪ More than you know
[all laughing]
- I'm so excited. - I know.
- I'm excited. - Sounds good.
[all chattering indistinctly]
♪ More than you know, more than you know ♪
[glass clinking]
♪ The flames rise higher
- Bow your heads, children.
♪ A heart on fire
- Thank you, our Lord, for what we're about to receive,
this wonderful feast, and this delicious dessert,
[all laughing]
and for bringing all these children together.
Please continue to watch over us
and lead the way for those in need
so that we can continue to be of service to them.
Amen.
- [All] Amen.
- [Maddy] Now, we can eat. [laughs]
- Chicken, chicken, chicken.
- I hear you.
[liquid sloshing]
You owe me.
- I owe you nothing.
- Read my fucking lips.
I need to disappear.
- [Woman] Never call here again.
[dramatic music]
[phone clanking]
[newspaper rustling]
- I see you, motherfucker.
[blinds clanking]
You shoulda shot me when you had the chance.
[buttons clicking]
- [Automated System] The number you have called is
no longer in service. [dramatic music continues]
[buttons clicking]
The number you have called is no longer in service.
- Where are you?
Where the fuck are you?
- Today was a close call.
I don't think your detective is gonna stop looking for you.
- He's not our detective.
No, you're right, father.
I think it's time we put our vacation plan in place.
- I told you when you first got here, my child,
this is my church, my home.
I'm not going to let evil chase me out of here.
And besides, I don't do vacation.
- Does that mean that there is no saving him?
- I have hope for everyone.
But. [laughs]
- [John] How you doing again?
- Hey.
- So how often does the father come in here for supplies?
- About once every two weeks or so.
- Ah.
What time of day and what day does usually come in?
- It's not regular.
It's different times.
I don't really recall.
- Right, right, you don't recall.
- No. - Okey dokey.
You know, I met your lovely daughter this morning.
[dramatic music]
You live at 34 Hill Street. [laughs]
And you know, it always blows my mind.
Here we are standing in the flats,
and you live on a street called Hill Street. [laughs]
How old is your daughter, 11?
It's such a cute age, just before the big change
when they're still young.
They're still innocent. - It's not regular,
but it's always in the morning, Thursdays or Fridays.
- Thursdays and Fridays always in the morning?
You sure? - Positive.
- Thanks, pal.
Have a good day.
[dramatic music]
[door clattering]
[buttons clicking]
- I need intel on a new safe house
for Adele Stevens in LA.
Yeah, she's in bed with some bad Mexicans.
We need to find her first.
No, she, listen to me.
She won't be far from her last known address, so find her.
Put her face out there everywhere.
Find her.
[footsteps plodding]
- Oh, sorry, I was just on the phone with Horatio.
John was just there again.
He's waiting for Father Francis,
and Horatio, he's not gonna help us anymore
with any other information.
He's done.
- Okay, do you know anyone we can get some firepower from?
- I think so.
- Someone you can trust?
- Yeah. - Okay, great.
We're gonna give the girls a nice Christmas memory,
and then we're gonna move on the vacation plan.
- Okay, yeah.
- Okay. - Let's go.
- Oh. - Oh.
[all laughing]
- Looks so good.
- Will we be seeing you at midnight mass, Maddy?
- Ooh, maybe this- - Yay.
- This goes up- - You made it with balls.
[children chattering indistinctly]
["Silent Night"]
- We are grateful that God gave himself into our hands
as a child begging for our love,
implanting his peace in our hearts.
Break the rods of oppression, burn the trampling boots.
Let the time of garments soaked in blood come to an end.
Fulfill the prophecy that peace there will be no end.
We thank thee, oh, Lord, for your goodness,
but we also ask you to show forth your power.
Establish the dominion of your truth
and love in the world.
[John clearing throat]
- How did you get in?
- [John] The door was open.
- I always lock it.
- It was open to me.
Adele Stevens, I need to ask you a few questions.
[dramatic music]
We know girls were brought here.
We can prove that.
The policewomen who helped you,
they're in big-ass trouble.
They all are.
Now, I need to know where they are so I keep them
from getting killed. - I know who you are.
You're a dirty cop.
- I'm not playing games here.
Give me an answer. [dramatic music continues]
Where are the girls?
I need to protect them.
- You can kill me if you want.
But I don't know where they are, and if I did,
I wouldn't tell you.
- Tell me where they are
so I can save them. - Bullshit.
You're a liar.
[fist thudding] [Adele grunting]
- Tell me where they are if you wanna see another Christmas.
- [Anna] No.
- I told you to run when the bad man comes.
Run.
[Anna grunting]
- I know you're not smart enough to save yourself, but what
about the little ones? - Let her go.
- Ah, you little bitch. [hand thudding]
- Stop, you're strangling her.
Let her go. [Maria gasping]
Let her go.
[John grunting]
[hand thudding]
[fist thudding] [body thudding]
- Son of a.
[dramatic music continues]
- [Rhonda] Merry Christmas, I come bearing gifts.
[door clattering]
- [Maddy] Mm, whoa, must be a good friend.
- Yeah, I helped his sister once, and he was very grateful.
[Maddy laughs]
[Rhonda laughs]
- [Maddy] I'd say so.
[Adele whimpering]
- Anna.
["Jingle Bells"]
- Okay, so awesome.
- Yes.
- Wow.
[children laughing]
- I got it.
I already got my presents.
She helped me with mass last night.
- What are you gonna open?
Open, open, open.
- What about you?
You don't have any?
- Don't worry about me.
- Oh.
- Oh-ho.
- Oh, look at that.
- Oh.
Oh, this is the most beautifulest thing I've ever seen.
- Yes.
[phone ringing]
- [Father Francis] How does this look?
- It's great.
[Father Francis laughing]
- Oh, my God, you look so good.
[children chattering indistinctly]
- [Maria] I love that.
- John is on his way.
- [Father Francis] [laughing] I know, boy.
Did you help? - Yes.
- No, we have a little time.
He's not taking our Christmas.
- [Father Francis] Did you work on it?
- Yes. - [laughing] Whoa.
Everybody did.
- Father. - Oh, thank you, yes.
- We did it. - And that heart is
for all you. - Yeah.
[children laughing]
[engine humming]
[door clattering]
- Ticktock, ticktock, time is up.
- I found 'em, okay?
I found the cops that took the girls and the money.
I'm just on my way there right now.
[Manny and Raul laughing]
- That's really convenient, I mean, right now,
at the very moment of your execution.
- Let me go and take care of this.
Let me go and kill these motherfuckers.
- I wouldn't do that, John.
That doesn't even make any fucking sense.
[laughing] We do it ourselves.
I mean, really.
We know the heat is on you.
You left so many loose ends, John.
And quite frankly, it's very unprofessional.
You are of no use to us now. - Let me be of use.
- Wow. - Let me go and finish them.
I can plant some evidence.
I can spin it so I come out smelling like a rose.
And then we continue on, and I know I fucked up royally,
but let me make good on it,
and then we can continue our work.
[dramatic music continues]
- Our work?
You're really fucking smart, you know that?
But I like you, John.
Raul, you go with him.
Bring me back the girls alive.
You have 12 hours.
- Have my word.
And let me just say- - Fuck outta here now.
["Jingle Bells"]
- Yeah, I drew short straw, working Christmas day.
- I just need some firepower.
I found the location, Rhonda and Maddy.
They're running their own trafficking operation
with a crooked padre.
- What?
Well, wait, that's a stretch.
Wait, hold up a second.
I'll come with you.
- Two women and a priest, I think I can handle that.
- Those women are both cops.
- Ex-cops.
I need to do this alone, pal.
Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
[upbeat music]
[all chattering indistinctly]
[tires screeching] [dramatic music]
- [Maddy] Okay, let's go, let's go.
- Okay, everyone, we're gonna go on a little adventure.
- Can we bring our presents? - Everyone.
- You too, father.
- Yes, um, but hurry. - You're going with them
on this adventure.
- No, I'm staying with you.
- I'm sorry, father, but you'll just be in the way.
It'll be too dangerous.
- I know how to shoot a gun.
I wasn't always a priest.
I had to find my own way, too.
- But killing?
[gentle music]
- In extreme circumstances, it takes extreme measures.
I think God'll forgive me if it becomes necessary.
[engine humming] [dramatic music]
[gun clanking] [dramatic music continues]
[Father Francis speaking Spanish]
[gravel crunching]
[engine humming]
- Here we go.
[gun clanking] [Father Francis sighs]
[door clattering]
Drop the gun, padre.
I'm gonna take you in, pal.
- Dios mio. - Rhonda and Maddy, too.
- I kneel down before you today
protecting as many children as I can.
- Put the gun down, padre.
- Forgive my sins.
- Drop the gun, padre. - And let me bask
in your glory. - No one's gotta die today.
[gun clanking]
[dramatic music]
[gunshots blasting]
[body thudding]
[John laughing]
[engine humming]
[door clattering]
[footsteps plodding]
[dramatic music]
[gun clanking]
- Father, father, you okay?
Father, father.
Father, father, father, okay, okay, father.
Take it easy, take it easy.
It's all right. It's all right.
Don't move, sh.
I'm here, I'm here.
- Uh, tell the children to make it better.
- I will, I will.
Relax, relax.
I need an ambulance stat to this location now.
Father, father.
[engine revving]
[dramatic music]
- [Rhonda] Go, go, go, go.
Go that way.
[gravel crunching]
[dramatic music continues]
[door slamming]
- Maddy.
Come on out of there, Maddy.
Let's talk this through.
- Little late for that, John.
- Never too late, baby.
Come on out.
- I don't wanna hurt you.
- Well, nobody's gotta get hurt.
- Drop it.
[gunshots blasting]
[Rhonda grunting]
- [Maddy] Rhonda.
- [John] The fuck, dude?
- Stop. Back up.
- Hey, calm, guy, guy, guy, just calm down, okay?
- Get out of the way.
- Just everybody just fucking calm down.
Nobody shoot anybody.
[gunshot blasting] [John screaming]
[John gasping]
[gunshot blasting]
- John.
[John gasping]
- I fired.
[Maddy whimpering]
I'm so sorry.
[head thudding] [dramatic music]
- Rhonda.
You okay?
We need to get you to the hospital.
[engine humming]
Shit, we got company.
[door clattering]
Who the fuck are you?
- I'm FBI.
I saw everything.
I'm here to help.
I've been following John for a long time now.
I have been gathering evidence on him to put him away
for a very, very long time.
He has connections at the top, the cartel, everybody.
- You're a little fucking late.
- Yeah, yeah, I know.
- Why should we trust you?
- I don't think you have a choice.
- Let me see your badge.
- [Manny] Look, we don't have a lot of time.
Let's, let's get her to a hospital.
- Okay, help me.
Come on.
I'm gonna get you out, but we gotta get to the cars.
- All right. - Come on.
You're okay.
- I'll follow you.
I'll make sure everyone's okay, okay?
Grab that gun.
[dramatic music continues]
[engine humming] [horn honking]
[gunshots blasting]
[children screaming]
- Come on, girls, let's go.
Let's go.
Get out, get out.
Come on, the lot of ya.
Who else is in there?
Come on, let's go get in this truck.
Get in, let's go.
Get in the truck now, now.
[dramatic music continues]
[gunshot blasting] [Maddy grunting]
[gunshot blasting] [driver grunting]
- Maddy, Maddy, no.
Maddy.
Maddy, Maddy, wake up, wake up.
[Rhonda whimpering]
Let's get you up, let's get you up.
Let's get you to the hospital, Maddy, please.
[sobbing] Come on, come on.
Oh, my God, no.
Maddy, Maddy.
[Rhonda screaming]
I'm okay.
Uh, they're treating me good here and just resting.
- [Manny] Good, good.
I'm glad you're getting better.
That's, that's the main thing.
Just focus on getting better. - I want to know
who the leader of the cartel is.
- Two weeks, then call me.
I'll explain everything.
I promise.
- Okay.
- [Manny] Okay, bye.
[phone beeps]
[monitor beeping] - [Intercom] Dr. Kaufman,
telephone please, Dr. Kaufman.
[gentle music]
- [Sara] We were supposed to take this
down before New Year's.
- Well, we've been a bit busy.
Besides, wanted to leave it on as long as I could.
[hand knocking]
You stay here.
You keep going.
[drawer clattering]
It's okay.
- Uh, well, firstly, I'd like to say
that, um I'm sorry for everything.
Um, what I can say is that, through our joint efforts,
we were able to take down one whole branch
of the tree with the child trafficking.
More will spring up, of course, but Maddy,
Maria, Father Francis's life was not in vain.
- What about the money?
- What money?
The last thing that Father Francis asked me was
[paper rustling]
if the children could make it better for him.
