[Lobo] Hans sends his regards.
-Who is Hans?
-How should I know?
It doesn't matter. Guys.
No, please, no.
-[glass shatters]
-[all exclaim]
[grunting]
[all gasping]
Careful!
[groans]
What is this?
Let's go!
-Follow me.
-Bravo!
-Come on, María.
-Awesome. I'm coming. Wait.
What's wrong? What's going on?
[Lobo] They were expecting us, Freddy.
But they didn't count on this, man.
You, Pecas, come with me.
Holy Mother of God!
No, my God! Lord, please.
Whatever you hear, don't come out.
[Xiadani gasps]
To the kitchen.
Upstairs.
Pecas.
-Look for them in every room!
-[man] Where?
[Lobo] In their rooms.
They must be around here.
[sword pings]
No way. What the hell.
[screams]

-[screams]
-[objects clatter]
[screams]
[Xiadani and Gloria scream]
[gasps]
[all gasping]
Let's go!
[screaming]
[theme music playing]
[María] Are you okay?
Well then, we're all okay too.
I did my best,
but there are too many.
It's time to say goodbye
and go in peace towards death.
-No, I'm not ready to die.
-[Jorge] No.
Ready or not, you will die.
María, forgive me
for stealing from your plants,
but the weed was so good.
I love you so much. Aren't we family?
Yes, I love you too.
Yes, we're family, yes.
Gloria.
Forgive me for cheating on you
with Ekaterina.
I tried to save what we had, but
She gave me the love I needed.
It doesn't matter.
The important thing is if we die,
we die together.
Who would have thought
that we would all pass here,
in this beautiful house?
As a family.
At least my grandson will live.
[Ekaterina] No. The hitmen will
hunt him down and kill him.
[gasps]
It's their modus operandi.
I can't just give up like that.
I have to fight for Poncho,
even if it's the last thing I ever do.
-[guns firing]
-[all scream and whimper]
Jorge, forgive me!
I cheated on you too.
With Ekaterina.
[Xiadani] Huh?
-[guns firing]
-[all scream and whimper]
Calm down!
It's the boss. Yes?
[coughs] Lobo! Everything's on fire, Lobo!
Stop what you're doing!
[coughing]
-Get over here! I'm dying, you asshole!
-We're leaving!
Let's go!
They all left.
For how long?
My house.
It's because Morro's corpse showed up.
This is the revenge!
The last time I saw him was
in María's water tank, where we put him.
You put Morro's corpse in my water tank?
I bathe with that water!
I wash my hands, brush my teeth! [retches]
I was going to move him,
but he disappeared.
And he magically appeared
in the hands of hitmen?
How do you explain that?
It wasn't magic.
[mysterious music playing]
[Xiadani] That's it.
[Jorge] Nobody is going to
look for him here.
[grunts]
-[thuds]
-Get back.
Pecas! Move it, assholes!
Go around the back.
I know I did wrong,
but I did it for revenge.
Out of love for Jorge.
You go, girl!
Who are you?
What, didn't you read her references?
Didn't you read them?
It all goes back
to when I was a spy in my country.
I was the best.
I earned everyone's trust.
But my intentions were different.
Okay, excuse me,
I don't want to interrupt
this interesting story,
but the Red Army isn't coming to kill us.
Those who are coming
-Are the hitmen.
-Exactly.
No, they can't come yet.
They have to organize.
Look, Xiadani, make a quick call
to Cárdenas to send us protection.
Don't tell him about this.
-Tell him it was a robbery.
-Okay.
María.
I know I have a lot of explaining to do,
but I think I have a small matter
Okay. Yes, go.
I need space to think.
[footsteps receding]
My dear.
I don't even need to ask you
how you are, right?
I feel like I don't know anyone.
We're the same people
you've known since you were a child.
With a little more complicated lives.
A little?
-I can't trust any of you.
-You can.
You can trust Poncho.
[Hans] You're a bunch of idiots.
How can Mama Cake still be alive?
Eh?
They have an army of ninjas.
Nobody has an army of ninjas, Lobo!
Sir, remember Xochimilco.
Morrito's body.
Look at our men.
Look at Pecas. He's missing an ear.
[retches]
Mama Cake set the bait,
and was waiting for us with the ninja.
I mean, with the ninja army.
And while she was attacking us there,
she sent her second-in-command
to start a fire here.
The old lady is tough.
And Freddy?
Where's Freddy?
Well, they probably took him hostage.
God knows what's happening
to poor little Freddy.
Shit.
Yeah, poor thing.
[María] How did we come to this, Xiadani?
How am I going to explain to Poncho
that I only wanted to pay Gloria,
and give him a good life,
and help my friends in the nursing home?
Yeah. [chuckles nervously]
Since you mention
the nursing home and all that
What with the hitmen and
Okay, what now?
Cárdenas confiscated the plants
from the nursing home.
No.
Are we going to stand by idly
while we watch María being hurt?
Of course we all want justice, but
Aren't you very protective?
Aren't you like, "Yes, by my side
you will never suffer"?
Please don't compare apples with oranges.
Look, if you're not careful,
she'll go off with another guy
who has some guts.
Aurelia!
I have what it takes
to defend the woman I love!
Let's go, Wences. Come on.
You're not alone, Wences.
We're with you.
Let's save María's business
from the corrupt cops.
Yes. Guys, let's show them
what we're made of.
-Yes.
-Let's save María!
[all chanting] Let's save María!
[man] All right, people!
What's going on?
Calm down.
Let's go, guys! [yells]
[all clamoring]
But don't worry,
he told me everything was fine.
How can it be fine?
He's a cop.
He confiscated our marijuana plants.
Yes, but don't worry. Hmm?
He's even about to send us a patrol.
-You didn't tell him what really happened.
-No.
Of course not. Plants are one thing,
and a squad outside the house is another.
Cárdenas is a good guy. And he's dumb.
Yes, I hope he's as good
and as dumb as you say he is,
and that he doesn't come after us
looking for who's to blame
for what happened to his brother.
Good Lord!
You have to stop lying to me!
I didn't want to,
but there was so much going on!
Uh-huh. And what lies ahead!
[suspenseful music playing]
[Hans] I won't leave any of my men behind.
That mad woman isn't going to do
the same to Freddy as she did to Morro.
You have to show me
you've got what it takes and rescue him.
[Pecas] No!
No, please, no!
It's okay.
It's okay to be afraid.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
But that torturer
is also a businesswoman.
And I think we can negotiate for Freddy.
[Lobo] But we don't have anything
she wants.
Not yet.
I don't see any other solution.
Someone has to leave this house.
I'll leave.
It's obvious
you don't care about me anymore.
And you already had something
before I came in between.
No.
I'll leave.
You were married before me.
I'm the forbidden fruit.
Don't look at me.
I'm not leaving. This is my house.
So, I'm leaving.
[Gloria] No!
I'm leaving.
-No!
-[Gloria] No!
We have a family.
A daughter.
It's decided. I'm leaving.
[both] No!
[tires screech]
[grunts]
Let go of me!
-Come on, asshole.
-Let go of me!
[both grunting]
[groaning]
Let's go.
LET'S NEGOTIATE
[door opens and closes]
Xiadani, have you seen Poncho?
-Poncho?
-I called him and he won't answer.
-No?
-No.
You know what he's like.
Hey, wouldn't you rather tell him
about everything tomorrow?
Wouldn't it be better to get some rest,
to think about it, sleep on it?
Do you think so? Well, yes.
-It might be a good idea.
-Right?
For once I'm going to listen to you.
Yes, rest well.
Where are you going?
To throw out more trash?
-No.
-[siren wails]
Yeah, the cops are here,
and I'll just say thanks and good evening.
You can see that we'll be looked after.
Good evening, officers.
Thanks for coming
and for your timely service, as always.
-At your service, miss.
-I expected nothing less.
-Good night.
-Good night.
[engine starts]
[knocking frantically on door]
-What happened?
-We have a problem.
-Are the hitmen back?
-Yes! We're in it up to our necks!
Are they in the house?
[exclaims] You rekindled
the flame of passion.
Okay, tell me about it later.
The problem is serious.
They kidnapped Poncho.
And Natalia too.
-What?
-[Jorge] What?
[Xiadani] And they left this note.
What does the note say?
"Let's negotiate."
Jorge.
Our daughter.
What about the police?
They were late, as usual.
I'll take care of this negotiation,
my love.
[Poncho groans and coughs]
-[Natalia] Poncho?
-[door closes]
-Poncho?
-[Poncho] Are you all right?
-[Natalia] More or less. Where are you?
-[Poncho] Here.
-[Natalia] Where?
-[Poncho] Here.
-[Natalia] Where? Keep talking.
-[Poncho] Yes, here.
[Natalia] Come here, turn around.
[Poncho grunts]
It's all my fault.
Don't worry, I'll get you out of here.
[Natalia] What are you talking about?
This isn't your fault.
It's Xiadani's fault,
my dad's and your grandma's.
And Ekaterina's
for something about a corpse,
and for breaking up my parents' marriage.
-I think.
-What are you talking about?
This is about the fire I started.
What do you know about the marijuana cakes
your grandma sells?
Wait. What fire?
Did you burn the food truck?
No, why would you think that?
No, I wanted revenge.
I ended up burning a car,
but the fire got out of control
and I burned a whole warehouse.
You burned down the hitmen's warehouse?
My grandma bakes what?
No. No, my grandma can't sell marijuana.
Yes, she does.
And it's a success,
so the competition
wants to eliminate them.
This competition,
whose warehouse you burned down.
[woman] Could you make me a cake?
A cake with mari
[Xiadani] From María,
our star pastry chef.
Mama Cake is a front.
Wences, I heard
what happened to my Marías.
[Wences] Don't worry, my dear María.
Those little plants
will return safe and sound.
We're working on it.
"We"? Who are "we"?
-[man 1] Come on, María!
-[man 2] Yes!
[Natalia] Poncho, I told you
that's not going to do any good.
-[clangs]
-Come here.
We were caught because we were unprepared.
But if we attack with a positional assault
when they return,
we have a chance of getting out of here.
Assault
Yes, look, I know it's just you and me,
so forget about technical grouping.
But if we move quickly from a barricade
to assault with reaction to contact
[hesitantly] Mm-hmm.
How much of these tactics
did the colonel teach you?
You were
vital to the mission, right?
Sir!
Eating is vital, right?
-Now we're going to die.
-Sorry.
-No, it's not your fault.
-I'm sorry for what I put you through.
If we die,
I want you to know
I never meant to hurt you.
I know that now.
I never meant to treat you like an idiot.
Maybe a little, right? [chuckles]
A little if you behave like that.
[both chuckle]
No, you're still a minor.
Yes, but not for much longer.
Poncho, it doesn't matter.
Even if it's a few hours away
So what? I'm sure I won't get there.
It's gone.
Poncho, she's going to get us out of here.
-Let's go.
-I'm coming.
[suspenseful music playing]
[sneezes]
[whispering] Sorry.
I told you I have a lot of allergies.
There's a lot of mold. Sorry.
-[man 1] They escaped!
-[man 2] They're not here!
-[man 1] They escaped!
-[man 3] Go get them!
[Pecas] Move, and I'll kill you.
[man 1] Don't move, assholes.
Where are you going?
Sir, we have them.
Okay, don't move.
For my ear.
Youth, always so impatient.
[man] I need you to focus on the questions
and answer me precisely.
It's strange
how young people measure time.
At my age, one thing is very clear.
The only thing you won't like about life
is that it's so short.
-Why haven't you gone to bed yet?
-Shh!
I couldn't.
Because of Poncho.
I didn't hear him come in.
But thank goodness he's here now.
-[chuckles nervously]
-You know what?
I've been thinking
that the only way out of this
is to give this Hans our product.
Yes, negotiate with him.
[hesitates] Negotiate?
Yes, that's what I said.
Exchange our plants for our peace.
I love my plants,
but not more than you,
my grandson, or my own life.
[laughs] María,
you'd better go to sleep now.
Look, why don't you take
one of these pills?
And everything will look better tomorrow.
Xiadani, what's going on?
-Uh
-[cell phone ringing]
[Lobo] Mama Cake,
you really turned out
more tough than pretty, right?
But I have something that belongs to you.
Okay, say hello.
-Grandma, don't fall for it. It's a trap.
-[laughs]
Look, ma'am,
if you want to see them again,
the boy, his girlfriend and the ninja,
then give me Freddy in one piece.
And be careful about opening your mouth
because revenge is going to be a bitch.
[exclaims] Thank you very much, miss,
but I'm happy with the service
from my phone company. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
[spits]
I'm sorry, I have to hand you over.
No, please don't hand me over.
The boss is going to cut off my other hand
for not finishing the job.
Well, I have no choice.
He has Poncho, Natalia and even Ekaterina.
No, please.
I don't want to go back.
For someone who's so disgusted by blood,
Hans is very bloodthirsty, very cruel.
The boss doesn't forgive.
No.
No?
He won't keep his word.
No, I'm such an idiot.
What was I thinking?
These people don't negotiate.
As soon as I deliver you,
he'll kill us all.
Does that guy Hans really believe
that I'm so naive?
I mean, seriously.
[scoffs]
I'm not going down that easy.
María, you've already lost your ninja.
Unless you have a hidden army,
you've no chance against him.
[dialing]
[line ringing]
Wences,
how far are you and your people willing
to go for Mama Cake?
[Wences] What do you need?
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR
THE STELLAR PERFORMANCE FROM
