In Our Blood (2024)

[bunniefuu]

I can't...

I can't be part of this system

anymore.

- Okay, here's the deal.

Like, you go,

I go, 'cause I can't take

this sh*t the whole ride.

- Okay.

I like this.

What are you doing?

- This light is

beautiful, man.

Hey, who knew ...

Who knew hoopty tinted windows

could make good filters,

right Captain?

- Are you making fun of my car?

- Oh no, I am sorry.

I thought that was clear, yeah.

- You're fired.

- Already?

Oh no!

sh*t, dude, that's a record for

me, man.

Ah, look at that view.

Oh yeah ...

Actually, can you pull over for

a second?

- Right here?

- Yeah.

- For what?

- B roll, man. Come on!

- Okay, give me a

second.

- Oh my God, man,

look at this ...

- We should get going.

- You know what you call

that?

Production value.

The lighting's beautiful out

here, dude.

You come out here a lot as a

kid?

- Sometimes.

- Sometimes?

No, if I lived here, man

I'd be out here all the time.

- You're right though.

The lighting is great.

- I feel like you're trying

to tell me something, boss.

- I'm about to

leave you in the desert.

- I don't wanna

push you. I get it, alright?

But this is about you

reconnecting with your mom,

right?

So why not just get it in

this light, it's beautiful?

- Who's the director?

- Definitely, definitely

you.

Okay, definitely you.

But you said cinema verit,

okay?

That's all I'm trying to do.

I'm just trying to get something

that feels real, you know?

- Okay, fine.

- Yeah?

- Go.

- Alright, one second.

Let me just turn this off.

So, how did this all start?

- So I got this letter from my

mom

saying that she is still

living in Las Cruces,

and that she wants me to

come for Thanksgiving, and

and that she's clean.

- So, how old

were you when you left?

- I was about 13 when they

took me away from her.

- Wow, what happened?

- She ...

- She's an addict.

You know, she's not a bad

person.

She just made a lot of bad

choices and hurt a lot of

people.

- Mm.

She's okay with us filming?

- Yeah, she seems fine with it.

I think she understands

where I'm coming from.

- Cool, cool, cool.

Mom stuff, it's hard.

- Yeah.

- You know, when my

brother and I were little,

my mom got deported.

We didn't get to see her much

after that.

- Sorry.

- No, don't be, we

still get to talk and stuff.

Actually, she lives pretty

close to Las Cruces.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, I mean,

on the other side of the wall.

- Do you have something to

share with the class, or?

- Seriously, you want

some?

- Yeah.

- Whoa, m*therf*cking

c*ck, are you kidding?

Is it weird for you to be back?

- Yeah.

- Mm.

You nervous?

- I mean, yeah.

You know...

the idea of seeing my mom was a

lot.

- I get it.

- Some really dark stuff

happened

when we were last together,

but when I started thinking

about it -

us reuniting - as a film,

it started to feel less scary.

You know, I thought I

could use it as a way

to understand her in a way

that I couldn't in the past.

- Oh yeah?

It feels so empty here.

- Hm.

- Doesn't seem

like anybody's home.

- She's here.

Hi Sam.

- Hi.

- Could you get the stuff out of

the car?

- This is almost set.

You from LA too?

Dan?

Danny?

- Boyle Heights, yeah.

- How long have you been

living in Boyle Heights?

Hi.

- Hi.

- It's almost ready.

Voila.

- Get cutaways of these.

Let me know if this is enough.

- Oh wow, thank

you so much Ms. Wyland.

- I hope it's cooked.

- Thank you for letting me

be a part of your dinner.

- I think there's more

of that if you want.

So you guys made good

time getting over here?

- We didn't stop much.

- Well, Happy Thanksgiving,

guys.

- Happy Thanksgiving.

- Okay guys.

- Pardon my reach, Ms. Wyland.

- Can you say

something into your mic?

I need to get your levels.

- What do you want me to say?

- That's great.

Ready, Sam?

Can you start by saying

your name to camera?

- My name is Sam.

My name is Samantha Wyland.

- Good.

I'm gonna start with some

very broad questions.

You've lived in Las

Cruces for a long time...

What does it mean to you now?

- Sorry, Miss Wyland,

I need you to not fiddle

with your mic, I'm sorry.

No touching.

- Whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

Sorry.

- It's all good, all

good.

- What was the question, what?

- Las Cruces.

What does it mean to you now?

- Okay, let's see.

It's home.

It's home.

I've lived here a long

time, most of my life.

There's memories here.

There's a lot of good memories

and a lot of real f*cked up

memories too.

Sorry, sorry.

Bad ones.

Bad memories.

History's heavy here.

It's real heavy.

- What's been going

on here that makes it...?

- Can I tell you why I wrote

that letter?

Please.

- Go ahead.

- Okay.

About a month ago,

a friend of mine,

a dear friend, Tina Delgado,

she went missing for about a

week.

I didn't know it at the time,

but I guess she'd been involved

with some pretty bad people,

and we found out

that that's what got her k*lled.

And I know that at one point,

that could have easily

been me instead of her.

So...

- Sorry.

- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry about everything

that I've put you through.

And I wanted to be the kind of

person

that did the decent thing.

And that's why I sent you that

letter,

because I wanna make it right

with you.

I wanna just make it right with

you.

- Sam, do you think

you're that person now?

- Yeah.

I think I am now.

- What changed?

What changed for you?

- I got clean.

And I got a job, I got a steady

job,

and a community.

- Doing what?

- Administrative stuff, just at

this

community organization

that runs a rehab clinic,

and sometimes they ask me to

talk to people about

what I've been through.

- What do you tell 'em?

- Just that I know how hard it

is,

'cause I've been there and

I've come out the other side,

and um ... they always got

someone looking after 'em.

- Do you ever tell

them that you used to send

your daughter to clinics to

score for you?

Or that when she'd take some for

herself,

you didn't care enough to stop

her?

- We never had a chance, did we?

- Sorry.

- We never had a chance.

Can I take this off?

- Yeah, take it off.

- I dunno how to take this off?

- That's okay.

- Thank you

- You take care of her, good?

- She's a tough

one, your daughter.

- You okay?

- Can you stop, please?

- We should probably get

this, Em.

- Hey.

- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Maybe you can come to the clinic

tomorrow

to see what I do, yeah?

Might make you feel

better about all of this.

- Okay.

- Okay, okay.

Yeah?

Yeah.

- Okay, okay.

Alright, alright.

- You okay?

- Can you cut?

- Look, I'm

sorry. Alright? I just,

I saw a real moment, you know?

You don't gotta be embarrassed

with me.

- Tomorrow, we should

still get that B roll

and those interviews before we

go in.

- Yeah, yeah, of course,

sure.

f*ck.

- I overreacted.

I'm sorry.

I spoke to Sam.

There's nothing new, as I

expected.

You said coming here wouldn't be

an issue if I didn't make it

one,

but it's hard being back.

It's harder than I thought.

I just wanted to say that for

the record.

- Yeah, it's gonna look

amazing.

- Cool, cool. Let

me just check something.

- Hey, sorry about last

night.

It was a lot of heavy stuff

all at once, you know?

- Hey, you know that sh*t she

was saying about her friend,

like about how it could

have been her, you know?

- Yeah.

- That sh*t f*cking hit me, man.

My dad,

he's just an addict, man,

and a f*cking druggie

My brother, he just got involved

in g*ng sh*t really early on,

and I did too, you know?

I didn't even think about

it, man. It was just,

It's just what you did.

But I had an aunt.

She would look out, you know,

give me a place to sleep every

once in a while if I needed it.

And I had this teacher.

She told me she thought I was

talented

You know?

And that was it, man.

That was the difference, you

know?

I got out because of her,

and I wasn't a saint, you know,

not by any means, but ...

And life was hard,

But I am not in prison, like my

brother,

and I'm not in the f*cking

ground like my dad.

- I think you should

give yourself some more credit.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

I mean, you had all those

people to support you,

but it was you that made the

good choices.

- Yeah, well,

sh*t could have gone real

different real quick,

if it wasn't for those women...

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- I didn't have anyone.

I actually reported Sam myself.

Choice a grown woman couldn't

make.

- Well, not everyone's

got such big ba*ls, man.

You okay?

- Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah.

- Alright.

If you're ever not okay, you

tell me.

Uh?

- Mhm.

I will.

- Listen.

You better f*cking use this,

okay?

Because this time lapse is

beautiful.

And if you don't cut

it in, I'm gonna be pi-

You wanna do another sit

down when we get there?

- No, I think we should

just let her take us around.

This runs down past the

cemetery.

- So your mom-

- Good, are we good?

- Excuse me?

- Hi, we're here to see Samantha

Wyland-

- Excuse me, can I help you?

- Yes, we were told to

meet Samantha Wyland.

- Yeah, but you can't

have that on in here.

- Sorry.

- Is it off?

- Yes ma'am.

- You're here to see Sam?

- Yes, I'm her daughter.

- Her daughter?

Oh, it looks like she did

call out this morning.

She told you to meet her here?

- Uh yeah, but

that was last night.

I haven't been able to

get ahold of her today.

- So you're visiting from out of

town?

- Sort of, I... um...

We're out here making a

documentary

about my mom and I reconnecting.

I'm actually from here

originally.

I lived here with Sam

until I was about 13.

- Oh, I feel bad.

I didn't know she even had a

daughter.

- Since we're

here, I was wondering

if maybe we could interview you.

I would love to hear your

thoughts on my mom's work here.

Wireless mic, right?

- Yep.

- Okay.

- Oh, do you mind if I just?

- No, no.

- Yeah.

- Alright.

- Alright, if we could

start with

your name and your position

here.

- My name is Ana Stuart,

and I am the program director

for rehabilitation services

here at the Hooper Center

in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

- And can you go

into detail about your work?

- Hmm, sure.

The Hooper Center is a

campus of nonprofits,

and they all work together to

provide

an array of services for the

unhoused

and vulnerable populations

of Doa Ana County.

- How do you help them?

- We provide support to

those who are struggling

with addiction and or

mental health challenges.

You know, I just found this out

recently

that there was a sanitarium

here,

like in the old days, like

forever.

It was just torn down like in

the sixties.

- You mean,

like a mental hospital?

- I guess what I meant is

there have been people here

trying to help people

for a very long time.

I get to watch people

transform into leaders,

who then help themselves, and

step in

and help others.

I got to see your mother do

that.

- She mentioned

something, yeah.

- She's done really good work

here.

- And could you

tell me more about that?

- Oh, I really do have to go

now.

I'm so sorry.

- That was great, thank

so much.

- Listen, are you gonna

be here a few days?

Well, why don't you call up,

make an appointment, and we'll

show you around the campus.

Would you like that?

- Actually, do

you think there's anyone

else we could talk to

right now who knows Sam?

- I'm sorry, Ana do you mind if

I just?

- No, of course.

Help yourself.

Try the camp out back,

she knows some of them.

- Thank you so much,

Ana.

- Have you been able to

reach her?

- No, I keep getting

voicemail.

It's a documentary.

Would you like to be in it, Mr.,

uh?

- Red.

- Red.

- Brother, we just need you

to stand right on that mark.

And then just have a

conversation

with the lovely young lady.

- Okay.

- Camera set.

- Hi Jennifer,

thank you for doing this.

So, why don't you tell me your

name and where you're from-

- My name is Jennifer Anderson,

and I am from, I'm from,

I was born in Silver City,

but I've lived a lot of

different places

and foster homes and hospitals.

- Charlene Garrick,

and I'm from Salt Lake, Utah.

- From Maui.

- Maui?

- Hawaii, really?

- I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah.

- Do you know Sam Wyland

who works here at the Hooper

Center?

- I do not.

- Okay.

- Yes, I know Sam.

- Oh.

Sam's great.

- She's very strong.

- Yeah?

- But she's also, you know,

very helpful and very nice.

- She's a good person.

- She helps out here.

- Yeah.

- And she's just told me

that she

lost a friend recently to

violence,

and I was just curious,

do you feel safe here?

- Sometimes I see violence

that I never seen in Hawaii.

- I mean, you hear like all

these stories,

people getting abducted

and stuff, you know?

- Two weeks ago I heard

that a girl was like,

from the, you know,

up to her throat.

It was pretty crazy.

Like, I was thinking like,

what if that was my friend?

It could have been my friend.

What if it was one of my

friends?

It's something very hard to

face.

Like, I've been chronically

homeless for 10 years,

and so I've lost a lot of

people.

- I get a little scared,

'cause there's a guy that

used to follow me around.

- What do you think of

the people here in Las Cruces?

- They pretend, but

they can't hide from me.

And they can't hide from

Jesus, not for much longer.

- Thank you so much,

Red.

- Was that it?

- Thank you, Sir.

Las Cruces man.

Are you afraid of a relapse?

- I don't know.

Let's just see if she's home.

It's open.

Hello?

Hello?

Sam?

You check the living room,

and I'll check the bedrooms.

- Yeah, sure.

- Hey Em, anything?

- She's not here.

- Okay.

- Hey, Em!

Em, come here real quick.

- Okay.

What?

- Take a look at that

shelf.

Wasn't there a photo there

yesterday?

- Yeah, there was.

Let's check the footage.

That's it.

- Wait, look.

- Oh my God.

- You know any of these

guys?

- No, but I think that's

Tina,

the one who died.

- Why the f*ck

would she burn it like that?

- That's a good question.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You take care of her good?

- She's a tough

one, your daughter.

- Maybe you can come

to the clinic tomorrow

to see what I do?

It might make you feel

better about all of this.

- You're looking for

clues?

- Hmm.

Okay, yeah.

- Maybe she just needs

her time.

She'll show up.

We got some pretty good

stuff already, right?

Huh?

Yeah?

Uh-oh, she likes it!

Oh, wow.

Hey, so are you happy you hired

this kid?

- You can cut.

- Alright, this is some magic

hour B roll.

It's f*cking creepy.

Alright, let's lighten

the mood a little bit,

do a little tour of our lovely

motel.

This is where we're staying.

First we have, well,

this is where the bed

mites live, probably.

So there's that.

That is the one-burner stove.

Who's that handsome guy?

Okay.

You guys don't see me often.

I'm here, I swear.

There we go.

And then we have the bathroom

that I refuse to go into.

- ...human

smuggling operation...

- This is the TV,

you have two channels.

And this is our ugly

a*s base of operations.

Our fearless leader.

What are you doing?

You worried she got pinched?

- I'm just looking.

I'll try her cell one more time.

- Yeah, do that.

Nothing?

Hey, am I crazy?

This is the same place from

your mom's photo, right?

- That's it.

- Right?

- Yeah.

- Hey!

- Hey, excuse me.

What the hell are you doing?

- I'm sorry, what?

- You cannot film here.

- Oh, I didn't know-

- Okay, get out.

Turn this thing off-

- Don't touch

the camera, please relax.

- Turn it off and get out of

here.

- Okay.

- Do you want me to throw you

out?

- What's the problem?

- You can't film here.

I need to check with Isaac

first.

- Okay fine, who is

Isaac?

- He's my husband, he's the

owner.

- Is he here?

- No, but he'll be back

tomorrow.

- Great, we'll check in with him

tomorrow.

Are you friends with Sam Wyland?

- Yeah.

- Have you seen her

around lately?

- She was here last week.

- Have you seen her since?

- No.

- We appreciate

your time, thank you.

- She was in Sam's photo

- That f*cking Karen?

- Yeah.

- Yo, what if

she was acting real crazy

'cause she knows something about

Sam

she doesn't want you to know?

- Like what?

- I don't know, like she

went

on a f*cking bender or

something.

What's up?

- Do you smell that?

- Smell what?

- It's coming from in here.

- Oh, Jesus f*ck!

Hell, that's f*cking nasty,

dude.

That's f*cking nasty.

What?

- I can't.

- What the f*ck?

What the f*ck is this sh*t?

Sir, I don't know what to tell

you.

What do you want me to say?

- Don't get smart with

me, Son.

- Listen, I'm not trying

to get smart with you,

man, I'm just f*cking tired-

- Dude, I don't give a

f*ck.

Just lift up your sleeve, Son.

The other one.

- Yeah, sure.

Happy?

I'm getting that sh*t removed.

- Is that f*cking

right, huh?

You're sticking to your same

story?

- There's no story for

me to stick to, man!

- You don't know

anything about

the Carniceros hit two nights

ago?

- We're out here from Los

Angeles.

We came out here to make

a f*cking movie, okay?

I don't know anything about

any of that other sh*t.

We came back to find a f*cking

pig head

in our f*cking bathroom, and

that's it.

- Anything, nothing?

- We don't have anything

available.

- Okay.

We're gonna have to find

another place to stay tonight.

- Yeah, it's okay.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

- Ana!

- Don't run up on people in the

dark.

- I'm so sorry.

- Is everything okay?

- Do you know Los Carniceros?

They said that they think it's

this g*ng that left the pig?

- Yeah, it's an

intimidation tactic.

They're a local g*ng,

and they're hooked up

with a cartel across the border.

Very violent.

- Do you think Sam was

ever involved with them?

Like, did she mention them to

you?

- No, I mean,

not that I know of, no.

- I still can't find

her.

- Okay, yeah,

you and Danny stay here tonight,

and then in the morning we'll

see what we can find out.

- What is that?

- It was just something I found

at Sam's.

I forgot I had it in my pocket.

- You know what it does?

Or what it's for?

- I have no idea.

- Kind of weird looking, huh?

- Alright, so.

What's the plan, boss?

- I think that we should

go back to Beth and Isaac's

and see if they heard anything

from Sam.

- Yeah.

- And if they don't got

anything good to say about her?

- I guess that's just

where the story goes.

- Alright.

Cool, man.

What?

- You okay with this?

- This is a f*cking upgrade,

dude.

There's no mice here, there's a

shower.

I like it, man.

Thanks boss, gracias.

- Someone doesn't want

us here.

That, or it's some kind of test.

I'm not sure, but it's clear

that there's

something going on

beyond what Sam told me.

I don't know why I'm

surprised about that, but-

- Yo Em, where are you?

- I'll see what

I can find out tomorrow.

- You seen my lens cap?

- Yeah.

- Like, what even

is this place though?

- This does not seem

like a place

Sam would hang out at, like at

all,

but I don't know, she always

surprises me.

- Welcome.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- This is Isaac.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Beth tells me you are making a

movie.

- Yeah, we just wanted to

ask you a couple questions.

- Great.

Welcome, this is it.

- Nice.

- This is my office.

Do you want to talk over there?

- No, here's fine.

Just wanted to ask a couple

questions.

- No problem, do I talk to you?

- You just talk to me, it's

fine.

- Yeah, sure.

I've known Sam a long time.

- I was wondering,

do you remember taking this?

- Yes.

- Do you know why

Sam would want to destroy it?

- What do you mean?

- We found the original

copy

burned up in our ashtray.

- I really couldn't tell you.

- Are the rest of the

people

in this photo still around?

- All except Tina.

- Yeah, Sam did mention her to

me.

She said that she was k*lled.

- Yeah, it was terrible.

It hit Sammy really hard.

- Do you know where she

might be?

Because we haven't been able

to get ahold of her for two days

now.

- Sammy tends to avoid stuff

when things get kinda too much.

Seeing you again was

probably tough for her.

- Did Sam ever deal with any

members of Los Carniceros?

- Who?

- The g*ng in the area?

- No, not Sammy.

I wouldn't worry.

She might just be taking

some time, you know?

- Well, do you

think you could help me

find the rest of the people in

this photo?

- Sure, Shawn and Lori.

- Danny.

- Shawn.

They're a little further out,

but I'm sure they wouldn't

mind you stopping by.

Is there anything else you need?

- I think that's it, I think

we're done.

- Okay.

- Hey, he didn't seem

too worried,

huh?

- Yeah, he didn't.

- You think he's

playing?

- Okay.

Thank you, we will be

there shortly, thank you.

Okay, bye-bye.

That was the police.

They said that we can go back to

the motel and get the rest of

our stuff.

- Right now?

- Yeah

- f*cking sh*t...

- We have time, finish.

- It's okay, I'll just pick it

up.

- We'll be super

quick. Thank you, officer.

- What the f*ck?

Em?

sh*t-

- Danny, come on, get

your stuff.

- Emily?

They were all eating on that

f*cking pig.

- So you think the pig was sick?

- I don't know, I don't

know.

- Well, look, the police

bagged 'em, so if there's

something worth figuring

out, we'll know soon.

- Emily, you don't

find this sh*t weird at all?

- It's Cruces.

- Do you ever worry

Sam's working at that place for

the drugs?

- I don't know.

I just know that's where

she used to get it.

Hey, can you give me the address

again?

The one from Isaac?

- Yeah, what?

Shawn and Lori?

- Hello?

Red?

- Hello friends.

- Hi, Red.

- In the flesh.

- We were just looking

for the people who live here.

Shawn and Lori?

- Oh yeah, I know.

They ain't home right now.

Don't worry, they don't

mind me helping myself

every once in a while.

- Hey, Red.

You know any of the

people in this photo, man?

- You shouldn't have just

handed that to him like that.

- Yeah, I know a bunch of

them.

- Ask me next time.

- Sure.

- That's Tina Delgado, Beth and

Isaac.

That's Kevin Brown.

- Kevin?

Do you know where we can find

him?

- God willing, that man is dead.

- Dead?

Who is he?

- I can tell you right now,

he did not give himself to

the Lord, I can tell you that.

- Where are you going, Red?

What happened?

- That man was not godly.

- Was he k*lled too,

like Tina?

- Christ Almighty!

- What happened to

Kevin?

- I used to work with him

over at the county coroner's

office.

- And then what?

- We got fired.

We all got fired.

- Why?

- One of the bodies they had

went missing.

We all suffered 'cause someone

didn't do what was right.

I know it was Kevin, though.

That man was not Godly.

- Why do you think Kevin's dead

now?

- I don't know.

He's been missing though, since-

I gotta get back to church.

- What's at church?

- Safety, by the Grace of God.

- Why wasn't he a Godly man?

- Shouldn't talk about stuff

like that with a little girl.

- I'm not so little.

- Yeah, that's what all

the little girls say.

- That was f*cking

weird.

- Let's follow him.

- Red!

Red, please.

I'm looking for Samantha Wyland.

- Hey, Red.

- Why would you want to find

her?

- Can I help you?

- She's my mother.

- I'm sorry, you can't be

filming here without permission.

You're gonna have to leave.

- He knew all of

Sam's friends in that photo.

- Yeah, and it didn't

look like Shawn and Lori

had been home in a while either.

And why didn't Isaac tell

us Kevin was missing too?

- What the f*ck is

happening, man?

- Isaac's lying.

I don't know why yet.

But of the people in that photo,

at least one is dead and two are

missing.

Maybe more.

Someone's targeting them, all of

them.

I hope we didn't get here too

late.

Isaac?

- Hey, Em.

The door's open.

- Isaac?

- Let me go in first.

Isaac?

f*ck.

sh*t.

Emily?

Yo!

Isaac?

sh*t, what the f-?

Emily, hey!

- What?

- What the hell is this?

You can't just walk in-

- Stay back, stay back!

- f*cking Sam.

She used to deal with them.

I don't know if she still does

or what,

but she did something to piss

them off.

- Like what?

- I just know they've

been f*cking

with her and everyone she knows.

- Is that why they're coming

after me?

- He's scared.

- Yeah dude, I'm

getting a little scared myself.

- He said he didn't know

how

Sam's connected to Los

Carniceros,

and that she probably

pissed them off somehow.

- Geez Em, what

are we stepping into here?

- And do you think that

this is all correlated?

Officer, I'm just trying

to get more information ab-

The cops basically told us to

f*ck off,

and that they filed a missing

person's report for Sam,

and that's pretty much

all that they can do.

And that the rats were poisoned.

It was either from the pig,

or it was from something that

they were using at the motel-

- Emily, this came for

you.

I just tried her again, no luck.

- Okay.

It's from Sam.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave."

- Huh?

- Sam didn't write this,

someone else wrote this.

- Em, you sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

This is definitely not her.

- So you're saying someone

wrote this pretending to be Sam?

Why would they do that?

- They want me to stop looking

for her.

- Isn't it more likely

that your mother relapsed?

It can come out of nowhere,

just like some random thing.

Moments notice, triggers them.

Relapses are so incredibly

common.

I won't even tell you how many

times

I went through it with my

daughter.

- How many times did it take to

stick?

- Actually, it didn't.

She passed away.

- I'm sorry.

- Oh Ana, I'm so sorry.

- I just don't think that's what

this is.

- What do you think this

is?

- Where do Los Carniceros hang

out?

- Stop it,

dude. You're not stupid!

What is it you're trying to get

from this?

You want to know if she was

lying

to you about getting straight?

- I'm trying to figure out

whether my mother's dead.

- Jesus Christ, Em.

- Is it working?

- Just gimme a second.

Speak.

- Test, test.

- Yeah. Yeah, you're

good.

- Alright, it'll be fine.

- This is

f*cking insane sh*t, man.

You know that, right?

- We're just following the

story.

I'll be fine.

- Hey, listen,

is there anything I can do

to f*cking stop you, Em?

At the very least, I should

f*cking be going in there with

you.

- Okay, if they see your

tattoos, they're gonna lose it.

We don't want them to feel

threatened.

- Yeah.

Yeah we f*cking do, man.

- Wait for me.

- f*ck, man.

This is f*cking stupid.

- I'm looking for

someone.

- No one here you

should be looking for.

- I'm looking for Sam

Wyland

Que dijo, you say Sam Wyland?

- Yeah.

Por que?

- She's my mom.

- You're Sam's kid?

- Yes.

- No, you're not.

- I am.

Do you know where she is?

- Hopefully in hell.

- Could you tell me-

- Shut the f*ck up.

- f*ck!

Jesus f*cking Christ, are you

okay?

I told you.

f*ck, man!

You need to go to a f*cking

hospital.

- It's not my blood, go.

- Em, you alright?

You okay?

- Yeah.

- You're okay?

You want me to get you

something?

f*ck.

- Good.

Now, tell us what happened.

- They knew Sam.

They didn't know she was

missing.

- And where did all the blood

come from?

- They made me... uh

They made me drink pig's blood.

- f*ck, man.

- And then what happened?

- I don't remember, they just

let me go.

- They're sick f*ck, man.

Sick f*cking...

- You're safe now.

- Why would they do that?

- I should never have let you go

there.

- Ana.

It was my choice.

Do you think you could get me

some water?

I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

- Yes.

- Yes, be right back.

- Em, I'm so sorry.

- I, I think I'm gonna be sick!

- Em!

- I was wrong.

Los Carniceros didn't have Sam.

I don't know where to go

from here, I really don't.

- You are okay though,

right?

- Mhm.

- Ah, it's that

Karen from the movie place.

- Who?

- It's Beth from Art-

- This is not like him,

something is off.

He left a note, but it's not

him.

- Isaac's gone and he left her a

letter.

- You thinking maybe

it's fake,

like your mom's letter?

- I mean, I don't even know

anymore,

but she wants to show

us something in there.

- It's in here.

- What the fu-

Jesus Christ, man.

Holy f*ck.

What is this?

What the f*ck is this sh*t?

- Have you told anyone

about this?

- No.

He's my husband.

- Is he selling it?

- Yeah.

- Wait, what?

- Is Sam involved?

- I don't know.

- Really?

You know what this means, right?

- Yeah.

Just help me find him.

- What the f*ck are you

guys talking about, man?

Emily, come on.

Can you stop for a second?

- Don't want to talk about it.

- Why, Em?

Please, would you just talk to

me?

What the hell is going on-

- What in the name of

Christ is she doing here?

- Hey, hey!

- You okay?

Are you okay?

- Christ will protect!

f*cking sh*t, man!

Is everybody okay?

Emily!

f*cking sh*t, dude!

What was that, man?

That was crazy.

- How do you guys even

know Red?

- We were doing interviews

out back, and we ran into him.

- Was he violent towards you

then?

- No, but he did

seem a little weirded

out when I mentioned Sam was my

mom.

What?

- I need to take you

into my confidence here.

It's a little strange.

Red lives here, out back.

It's where he met your mom,

actually,

and they were fine together.

And then one day, Red just would

not

be in the same room with her.

- Why not?

- No idea.

- So this man has had it out for

my mom,

and you didn't think that was

something that I should know?

- Emily, he doesn't

have it out for your mom.

- Em?

- I wanna go back to the church.

- Oh, wait.

Red's church?

- Emily's mother has

disappeared,

and the police seem to believe

that Red may have information.

He became violent, and the

police took him to jail.

- We try to give

Red a safe place to rest.

We can't make it permanent,

because he'll lose his public

assistance.

And this is where he keeps his

things.

- Go ahead.

- Ana, take your time.

You know where to find me if you

need me.

- Thanks, Maria.

- Oh my God.

- I had no idea.

- Get all of this.

- What the f*ck?

- Red has been keeping

busy.

- Em.

Em, isn't this...

- That's Tina Delgado.

- Get that.

What the f*ck, man?

Isn't this?

- That's Kevin Brown.

Shawn and Lori.

- What the hell?

- Everyone from the

photo.

- Em, this is crazy.

- It's Isaac and Sam.

- What?

- Guys, he took Sam.

- Jesus Christ.

- We need to bail him out.

- What?

- Wait a minute.

- We could follow him.

- What are you doing,

man?

I gotta hope for your sake

Sam is somewhere else, dude.

- No, Tina Delgado-

- Because if this guy's

got her?

- Tina Delgado was missing for a

week,

and then she was pronounced

dead.

Sam could be alive somewhere.

- Emily, are you

kidding me? Look at this sh*t,

this is f*cking serial k*ller

sh*t, dude!

On top of the g*ng sh*t, on

top of that f*cking blood sh*t,

Em, you're not even talking

to me about it. Okay?

This is f*cking stupid, no,

I'm not doing this anymore.

I'm not, I'm done.

I'm f*cking don-

- Danny?

Danny?

- Jesus Christ.

Em, can you not right now,

Em, please can you not?

- I know.

No, honestly Danny.

- This sh*t goes way beyond

making

a f*cking movie at this point,

dude.

- I know, and I'm sorry,

but I don't know what else to do

here.

You know I can't leave,

I have to do something.

- Yeah.

- Danny, she's my mom.

I don't have a choice.

- Okay.

Well then, what about the

choice you're asking me to make?

What about that choice?

You've seen those cops

at the motel, right?

You saw that?

- Yes.

- Do you know what happens if

they

catch me doing some shady sh*t?

Do you?

'Cause my life is f*cked.

I'm done, that's it.

They immediately just f*cking

rope me up

with those m*therf*ckers at the

bar.

I don't get a decision.

You understand that?

- I know.

- Yeah.

- Look, Danny,

if you need to go, go.

You don't have to stay.

- Oh yeah?

- You don't.

- Okay.

- I think she

was trying to be better,

for a little while at least,

and that's all I ever wanted,

you know?

And I need to try for her now.

- f*ck.

You're staying?

- Alright.

I'll try for you, Em.

But do me a favor,

Don't forget that I'm here too.

Okay?

- Yeah.

Can you see the police station

okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Good.

Have you ever tailed someone

before?

- Uh,

no, usually it's the other way

around.

You know?

- Danny?

- Oh sh*t, look.

- That's him.

- Yeah, but what is he

doing in a f*cking taxi, man?

- Keep filming them.

- Alright,

- Ready?

- Ready.

Alright, let's go.

You got it on my side good.

Oh sh*t, low battery.

- f*ck, where is he?

- There, right there!

- Let me get around him.

Go, you as*h*le!

- Jesus, man. f*ck!

- f*ck, I lost him.

Do you see him?

- No.

I don't know, Em,

I think we lost him.

- Let's just go a little bit

further.

- Hey, that's the taxi!

- There he is.

- What is he doing?

Em, wait!

What are you doing, dude?

sh*t.

- Look.

- What?

A. Stuart?

- Ana.

This is Ana's house.

- No.

Wait, is he breaking in?

Wait, Em!

sh*t.

Em, that's enough.

Let's go.

- Look!

What is this doing here?

- This is

everything from Red's room.

What the f*ck?

- Meet Louie.

- Jesus, man. My God!

- Is she not the cutest

pig you've ever seen?

You're a good girl.

- Ana?

Where's Red?

- He left out the back.

It's just as well he didn't run

into you.

He's still suspicious of you.

- About what?

- Em!

- What are you doing, Ana?

What?

What's happening?

- Em!

- Where's Sam?

- There's something I need you

to see.

Please.

- Okay, we should go.

Em, we need to get the f*ck

outta here.

- What is it, Ana?

Is she here?

What are you doing?

- I'm trying to

explain everything to you,

but we have to go downstairs.

- Em!

- Come on, Danny.

It's okay.

- This is not okay.

This is the reason to

get the f*ck outta here.

- Danny, don't be scared.

You can trust me.

- Emily?

Come on.

- Sam's here, Danny.

Come on.

You are gonna go down these

stairs and turn right.

- sh*t!

- What was that?

- Jesus, man, my God.

- Whoa, whoa-

- f*ck!

- Danny, Danny.

- Ana, stop it-

- Danny, pick up the

camera.

Come on, lift it up.

- Okay.

- Alright, now listen.

You keep filming no matter

what happens, alright?

- Yeah, okay.

- It's very important.

- Got it.

- Alright.

Listen, I know this looks crazy,

you guys,

but I do not intend to harm you.

I just need you to understand

the seriousness of this whole

thing.

Alright? Okay?

- Okay.

- Good girl.

- We'll go downstairs.

- f*ck, f*ck, f*ck,

f*ck-

- Danny?

- Yeah?

- Just stay right behind her.

- Okay, okay, okay-

- Come on Danny.

- Okay, f*ck!

- I'll be right down

to turn on that light.

- Come on.

- Jesus Christ, f*ck.

- It's gonna be okay,

Danny.

- What is that?

- You guys just wait here.

- Emily.

- Em.

She locked us in.

Hey, come on in.

Come on.

- Oh my God.

- Calm down.

- Sam, are you okay?

- sh*t!

- Keep filming.

- Okay, alright.

- You gotta stick with me,

buddy. Okay?

You need to be filming all this.

Come on, you need to be getting

this.

- Sam, look at me.

- Ana, what are you

doing to her?

- Emily!

- That is not your mother

anymore.

- Ana, why are you doing this?

- I'm gonna show you.

- Why are you doing this

to them?

- You'll see.

- Sam, are you hurt?

- I'm so sorry!

- Are you okay?

- I couldn't help myself.

- Ana, don't!

- What the hell is going

on here?

- She's crazy.

Oh my God, she's crazy.

- f*ck you.

- I'm so sorry,

I'm sorry.

- Red was right to

be afraid of your mother.

- I couldn't help it.

Danny?

- Yeah?

- I'm gonna need you to

stick with me here, buddy.

- All right, yeah.

- Okay, I need your help.

I need you to film this.

- Alright, alright.

- Come on closer.

- Okay.

- What the f*ck?

- What are you doing?

- Now come here, come really

close.

- Okay, alright.

- Follow my hand.

- What the f*ck?

- Get the fangs, get the

fangs.

- Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ.

- Come on, come on.

Come on now, let's get this one.

Get his fangs!

- What the hell is going

on, Em?

Em, are you seeing this? I

can't-

- Danny, I need you over here

with me.

I need you to stay with me.

I'm gonna want you in real close

on Sam.

- Okay, I'm filming.

- Come in real close. Okay?

- I'm filming.

- Ana, no.

- Emily, this is not your

mother.

- Ana, no!

- Wait, wait-

- No, no!

- Wait Ana, what

the hell are you doing?

- Watch it, watch it.

Keep watching.

- What the f*ck?

What the f*ck?

- Do you see it?

- Do you see?

- What the f*ck is going

on?

- I'm so sorry.

- They're not human.

- Emily?

- They're sick.

All they care about is blood.

They'll do anything to get it.

These two got greedy.

That's how I clocked them.

They thought nobody would notice

what they were doing, right?

All the migrants, and homeless

people

and drug addicts, you know,

people who disappear every day.

They thought nobody would

notice or care, but I did.

- Look what she's doing.

- You're a very brave young

lady.

A lot of people, they would've

just left.

Do you know how to k*ll a

vampire?

- Emily, stop her.

- Wait, what the hell's

going on?

- Stop her!

- Ana, wait, what are

you doing?

- First you cut off the head

and then you remove the heart.

- Ana, please stop.

- Then you decimate the

body.

The pigs are good for that.

Emily, you need to watch this,

okay?

- No, no!

- Oh f*ck.

- I'm so sorry,

sweetheart,

that you had to see that.

- You're f*cking crazy,

- You need to get used to

it.

Worst part about it is they look

so human.

- You're f*cking sick.

You're f*cking sick.

- I am not the one who's sick.

Emily, this should be you.

- No, no, no.

She's not your mother anymore,

Emily.

You need to think of her like a

rabid dog.

You gotta put her down

before she hurts more people.

- Don't say that about

her.

- You cannot save her, honey.

This is the only way you can

help her.

- It's okay, she's right.

You know she's right.

- That's not true, Sam

- Oh, it's true.

The world's a safer

place without me in it.

Please, you have to do this.

- Em, don't listen to

her.

- I want you to,

you need to be the one-

- Don't f*cking

listen to her, Emily!

Emily, don't.

- I need this to end.

It's okay-

- Emily, no!

- Danny, Danny, back!

- Emily,

Emily, don't f*cking do it,

please!

Please don't do it.

- Please, sweetheart. End

this.

- Come on.

- Do it, come on.

- I'm sorry.

- Emily, don't!

- Just do it.

Please.

- Emily, what

the f*ck are you doing?

She's your mother!

- Alright.

How many have you k*lled?

- As many as the keys on this

chain.

- What are they?

- In the handle of every key is

a keyhole.

And the key that fits there

belongs to whoever turned them.

And then this key fits in the

keyhole

of whoever they turned.

It's like a way of

tracking families, I think.

They're very proud of their

lineage.

- How do you know that?

- My daughter was a victim.

- She was k*lled?

- She was turned.

I k*lled her.

She didn't deserve that life.

- Do those keys come from locals

here?

- No, these are from all over.

I've been at this a long time.

They are addicted

just as much as the

humans that they feed on.

They will do anything to get a

fix,

including blow their own cover.

And that's when I find them.

Like Sam and Isaac, they k*lled

too many people for their blood

trade,

and couldn't hide it all.

- How do you catch them?

- My pigs.

I would leave a dead pig

soaked in human blood

wherever I thought it was high

risk.

- Human blood?

- Yeah, my own usually,

unless I could score some from

them,

if they were stupid enough to

sell it,

and Isaac was.

- I would think

pig's blood would be easier.

- Animal blood is like food for

them.

Human blood is their drug.

They can't resist it.

They get stronger from it

though.

So I would lace it with rat

poison,

which slows them down

and makes them more vulnerable

to capture.

The pigs in this part of the

world,

they're just good cover,

because everything I did was

assumed to be g*ng activity.

- You left one in our

room.

- Yes, I did.

And I want to apologize for

that.

I mean, you just showed

up from out of nowhere.

You were strangers, you were

asking all kinds of questions.

You know, I had to be sure.

And then I saw the way this one

ate candy,

and I felt a lot safer.

- What do you mean?

- They can't eat human

food, it makes them sick.

- We had dinner

with Sam, we saw her eat.

- You thought you did,

but I assure you, you did not.

- Jesus Christ.

f*ck.

- Red?

How much does he know?

- He was helping me track

all the vampires here,

but I underestimated him.

I think he's onto something

bigger.

A complex system for

harvesting the most vulnerable.

Drug addicts, like my girl,

migrants and homeless, and g*ng

members.

You know, anybody who can die

or disappear without a lot of

scrutiny.

And these days that's a pretty

big pot.

That's why I need you.

I feel like we could go public

with this.

The proof that is on that

camera.

I need you on my team.

I know you could be a great

hunter.

- Em?

- I think so too.

- Em?

- I just wanted to check her

mic.

- What the f*ck?

Em, what the f*ck?

Emily!

Em!

Please, Emily!

Emily!

No!

- Regulator 1015J breaking cover

with the elimination of my

decoy, Danny.

Danny Martinez.

Mission summary.

On October 30th,

119NM Coven member

Samantha Wyland reported

the destruction of fellow

coven member Tina Delgado,

citing possible hunter activity.

I was dispatched by the

Commission

due to my relationship with

Wyland and my connection

to the members of this

coven to investigate.

My findings conclude that Tina

Delgado

was the victim of a hunter who

discovered

the El Paso Las Cruces District,

as a result of the ill*gal

blood poaching operations

carried out by coven leader

Isaac Koslov

and Sam Wyland.

The hunter has been eliminated.

Isaac Koslov and Samantha Wyland

will be destroyed and desecrated

justly,

according to regulation code

687,

under the Articles of the

Commission.

My cover has been compromised.

I'm requesting a new Regulator

for the investigation

and the elimination of

the remaining threat.

I can't.

I can't be part of this system

anymore.

This isn't safety.

This is...

Consider this my resignation.

- We have a problem.
