You’re not my mother.
My mother made those sacrifices because she loved me

long story.
Abuela cared about me, didn’t she?
So did your mother.
What she went through when she crossed over,
it was horrible.
Well, how do you know about that?
I saw it.
You know, she was three months pregnant when we crossed.
And the coyotes, they separated us,
and, uh, she was never the same after that.
She got sick.
[sighs]
[clears throat]
You know, the ambulance is coming, so, uh...
...did you say a-a prayer?
We should say a prayer for her.
Dad, my Spanish is not the same--
No, we’ll do it together.
An "Our Father."
Okay.
Wait, no, there’s, um,
there’s a prayer in here for lost loved ones.
"With the blessing of God Almighty,
God of the stars, the sun, and the moon.

I speak to you through the ancient spirits,

You weren’t supposed to know any of this.

I swear, I never thought any of this would happen.
How could you?
It was your first Communion.
I saw your face so full of hope and beauty and...
[lively music playing faintly]
...I just thought of all the things
I could not provide you.
[lively music continues in distance]
I had known your grandmother practiced Palo.
She learned it in Chiapas from a Palero,
so I broke into her chamber.
And on your grandma’s Nganga, I wished for
the life you’d always wanted,
the life I could never give you.
I had no idea what it would do to you.
I was desperate.
Abuela found me and...
Get out of here.
Leave.
OSCAR: My mistake came at a price.
Required a sacrifice.

OSCAR: Blood sacrifice.
To keep Kobayende away.
She said she would fix it.
You’re bleeding.
Leave!
Yes, Grandmother.

She used that Nganga to protect me
from the deal you made.
She put her blood in this every day.
The scars on her arms.
She stopped this monster for years till the day she died.
No, I’m gonna protect you now.
I’m going to.
I’ll put my blood in it every day
if that’s what it takes.
If the Palero who made the deal
places their blood in the Nganga,
their body and soul is sacrificed to Kobayende.
What do you mean?
Rosario.
Hey, Dad? Dad.
Tell me you didn’t just put your blood in that pot.
