We're at w*r, and you disappear - to screw some bitch?

- Watch your mouth, puto!

- TERESA: Who is she?

- She's Boaz' ex-fiancé.

- And she's with you now.

- Sí.

You putting it to that boss lady of yours?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Where's the car?

I would like to resume our business deal.

All right.

This isn't some "Tia-Juana" flea market, Miss Mendoza.

- Now, if you'll excuse me - Okay.

10%.

You'll see how much smoother things go for ya.

(LAUGHS)

- TERESA: Who's that playing?

- EDDIE: Friend of mine.

You should put that on an album.

- He's great.

- He's no longer with us.

- Are the Sicarios dead?

- One of them is.

I couldn't find the body of the second one.

Tony's father he was stealing from my boss, and I was just following orders and he knew the rules.

That's why I felt nothing when I squeezed the trigger and took his life.

(MAN SHOUTING IN GAME)

Why don't you go outside, do something else?

I'm in a groove here.

Practicing for when I become your solider.

I told you you're not working for me.

And you don't want me to live with you either.

These people are not my family.

You are.

- (EXPLOSIONS BOOMING)

- MAN: Move, move, move!

You say we've only got each other.

And then you're always dumping me somewhere.

(g*nf*re)

I'm not dumping you.

I trust Pote with my life.

If you say so.

- (MEN SHOUTING)

(SOMBER MUSIC)

Uh-huh.

(SPOON CLATTERS)

He's angry.

He's been through a lot.

We would be angry too.

When I come back from Nashville, we need to do something for him.

I don't know therapy, school.

I really wish you weren't going alone on this trip, Teresita.

Eddie's introducing me to his old band.

It's like meeting his family.

Huh.

It's just one day.

(SIGHS)

Maybe you could get Tony to go outside.

I don't do outside.

Fine.

This needs to sit anyways.

(CLATTERING)

Thank you.

De nada.

Just be careful, Teresita.

I will.

I'll call you.

RANDALL: And so we're reaching out to the public.

If anybody has any information on the whereabouts of this man, Rene Bardot, please contact the number on your screen.

Mr.

Bardot has been missing for over two weeks, and his uncle, the Honorable Judge Cecil Lafayette, is very anxious to find him.

Again, anyone with any information, please contact the number on your screen.

- Thank you.

- The Judge's nephew.

EMILIA: Dijiste algo?

No.

Casual Teresa.

I like her.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You're full of surprises.

Tell you the truth, I wasn't sure you were gonna be able to let go of the business reins for an entire day.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm looking forward to it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- You ready?

Okay.

- Yeah.

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

I miss the road.

Most of the guys hate touring, but it was one of my favorite parts of the life.

You miss the groupies.

(LAUGHING)

What?

No.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it was fun when I was in my 20s, but it was always more than that.

I enjoyed the mystery and romance.

Never know who you'll meet.

My buddy Leon, he says every new town is like a blank canvas.

You just move in and make a new life.

You ever fantasize about that?

I think I'm too busy to daydream.

Indulge me.

Who should we be?

Bonnie and Clyde?

Rob a few dozen banks, make love on piles of stolen cash and die a b*llet-ridden death in slow motion?

I think you watch too many movies.

(LAUGHS)

That is true.

Your turn.

A house somewhere with a garden.

(LAUGHS)

Whenever I think I got you figured out, you surprise me.

(HEAVY MUSIC)

(g*nf*re, EXPLOSIONS)

POTE: Tony.

I know Teresa wants you to babysit me, but I'm good here.

Mm.

You can stay here and sh**t your little toy g*n on a little boy screen, or you can get up and sh**t a real g*n like a man.

JAVIER: Virgil.

Okay, thank you.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Vamos.

This is a good r*fle for deer.

It holds three b*ll*ts at a time.

I'm only gonna need one.

Hey, hey Careful where you point that to.

Sorry!

So what are we waiting for?

Paciencia, hijo.

First we have to see if you can sh**t this thing.

I know how to sh**t a g*n, Pote.

Orale, then.

Show me.

- (CHUCKLING)

- (BIRDS SQUAWKING)

I'm fine.

(SLIDE CLICKING, b*ll*ts CLATTERING)

Hunting's not a game.

I just wasn't ready, all right?

Mijo, something is troubling you.

You know you can talk to me.

I'm not your son, okay?

My parents are dead.

When you grow up, you gonna realize that family's not just blood.

It's the people you choose.

Yeah, well I wish I could choose to have my real family back.

(SLIDE CLICKING)

Let's go.

It's this way.

(EERIE MUSIC)

I had this fantasy about spending a long afternoon alone with you in a hotel room, but we have a sound check in 15 minutes.

Don't worry about me.

This is for the show tonight.

You'll need it to get backstage.

Why don't you take a long, hot bath and I'll try to get back before the water gets cold.

(CHUCKLES)

Have fun.

MAN: Good afternoon.

How can I help you?

Hi.

I'm in room 237, and my bathtub's not working.

(DOG BARKING)

- Sí.

Shh ah!

(BARKING, GROWLING)

What can I do you for?

That old Lincoln over there it's mine.

VIRGIL: You don't say?

I just need to see some identification.

- (INHALES)

- (DOG BARKING)

Mijo, I lost my wallet.

But I brought some famous politicians to vouch for me.

- You know Ben Franklin?

- Mm-hmm.

Right this way, senor.

Gracias.

VIRGIL: Bon ami.

You got a dead body in there?

(BARKING)

Can you keep a secret?

(LIGHTER CLICKS SHUT)

k*lled an alligator that day in the swamp.

She was a beast.

It was almost 10 feet long.

It was incredible.

Took me almost an hour to get it in the trunk.

Then when I came back for my stuff - car was gone.

- Ca c'est bon.

- Good on you.

- Yeah.

Them lizards, they a menace to society.

But they make fine boots.

Can I get me a look-see?

No, no, no, no, no.

No.

Maybe next time, amigo.

I gotta hit the road.

Gracias.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Easy.

(SIGHS)

You scared me.

Sorry.

You wanna come in?

No thank you.

Why don't you come join me when you're ready?

Sure.

The only thing my father ever taught me was how to hunt.

He was like a stranger.

But we would talk when we'd go out hunting.

What'd he say?

He talked about God.

Life and death things, you know?

Big things.

Right before he k*lled an animal, he would get really quiet, like he was almost praying.

Then after the sh*t, he would ask God for forgiveness.

For what?

For k*lling a living creature.

What's it like to k*ll a person?

I hope you never have to find out, mijo.

It's a terrible thing.

(RUSTLING)

Hey, now.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS)

(SNIFFS)

What's wrong?

Being with the old band brings up a lotta buried sh*t.

You wanna talk about it?

(INHALES)

Ah A few years ago, I landed my first recording deal.

My trumpet player was like my brother.

Andre Delphine.

(LAUGHS)

He was a monster on the horn.

We were in the studio and we couldn't get the horns right, you know?

It just sounded different than what I heard in my head.

We must have played it a hundred times.

Got really late, but we finally nailed it.

We were all pretty wiped out.

Andre offered to just sleep at the studio, but I knew that he wanted to get home to his family, so I insisted on driving him home.

Three miles from Andre's house, I fell asleep.

Hit a tree.

Andre was k*lled instantly.

You can't imagine what it feels like to take a life.

All that Bonnie and Clyde crap.

Truth is, I've had enough tragedy to last a lifetime.

Your idea about a quiet life in a little house somewhere (EXHALES)

That's more like it.

Mr. Brucks, room 215.

EDDIE: Thank you.

HARLEY: We're in the middle of our set.

Next thing I know, Eddie is leaning over Cubes' drum kit, puking his brains out.

- (LAUGHTER)

- Really?

True story.

Then he gets up and he keeps playing like nothing happened.

I'm a professional.

(LAUGHTER)


HARLEY: That's what they call it.

And why do they call you Cubes?

I chew on ice cubes to relax.

I mean, for a while it was Ativan, but this works better.

- (LIGHT CHUCKLES)

- We've all mellowed with age.

- Mm.

- LEON: I'll say.

Eddie's never dated a woman more than once.

And now he brings the lovely Teresa to dinner.

And we're all the better for it.

Me especially.

I don't know, the only one of us that ever really settled down was Andre.

Cheers.

- LEON: Yeah, cheers.

- TERESA: Cheers.

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

Eddie says you run your own business.

Yes.

I have a bar in New Orleans.

And she has her own line of tequila too.

- Oh, yeah?

- Small, but growing.

Why can't I meet a woman like you?

(LIGHT LAUGHTER)

Don't you guys need to get ready?

LEON: Oh, crap, she's right.

(CHUCKLES)

I'll get the check.

- EDDIE: No - Please.

It's a pleasure.

- EDDIE: Thank you.

- TERESA: Of course.

- Mm!

- HARLEY: Thank you, Teresa.

Listen, I just realized I forgot my VIP pass.

- We'll get you another one.

- No.

The hotel is just around the corner.

I'll get it, and then I'll meet you.

Really.

- Have fun.

- Thank you.

Of course.

You want to hunt?

You're not always gonna be the hunter.

Sometimes you're gonna be the hunted.

That means seeing it through to the end.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Listen, um My life is so messy right now, and I I can't be honest with you.

There are things that you don't know, and I can't see you anymore.

What are you talking about?

I think it's better we stop.

This is because of Andre.

No.

It's not about you.

You don't mean this.

I'm sorry.
