I'm sorry.
Tell me about David Tate.
Oh, he.

he wanted to make a difference.
Kept trying to open an investigation on the dead girls of Juarez.
What happened? His bosses shut us down.
Oh.
Was he good at his job? Very.
By then, the accident happened and he changed.
So he's gonna be good at this.
What what does that mean? Whatever he's planning next, he won't make mistakes.
Did you really have to say that right now? It's the truth.
That is the problem, Sonya! Why can't you just tell people what they want to hear? What do you want to hear? I want to hear my family's gonna be okay.
I really need to believe that right now.
Okay, okay All right.
It's her.
Alma? Hello, Marco.
It's been a long time.
Where is my family? You have a beautiful family, Marco.
It's hard to imagine why a man would just throw that away Son of a bitch.
I'm I'm gonna kill you.
Well, maybe you'll get that chance.
Where are they? With me.
Who wants to have some fun? Is everything okay? Oh, yeah, it was just work.
You sure you don't want to call your husband and let him know where you are? No.
I got you this.
.
And this.
You look beautiful.
He has them! Did you come all this way to watch her work? No.
I would.
What's on your mind, Steven? I need to talk to you.
Okay.
I find that work helps the tongue.
Give it a shot.
Yeah.
Yeah, that feels good.
Hey.
What's on your mind? I killed a man.
Okay.
Are you gonna tell me I sinned.
Depends on the situation.
As we both know, sinning supposes a belief in A higher power.
Which you lack, Steven.
Yes, I do.
This man you killed, was he a good man or was he a bad man? He carried this.
- Well, that looks like - That's skin.
That's human skin.
Who was this man? He was Eva's boyfriend.
Hector? She's told me about him.
Where's the body? I took it out to the desert to bury it and the funniest thing happened.
This man came and took it from me.
Well, that's a good thing Well, that's that's all you're gonna say? I think you're in the clear, Steven.
What do I tell Eva? The truth.
Oh, she's a good woman.
Yes, she is.
Special.
That's right.
Bob, I've been thinkin about her in a special way.
That's natural, Steven.
Let's discuss this over a ham salad.
I'm so glad you said that.
I've been so hungry of late.
That happens after such things.
My first kill, I couldn't get enough cheeseburgers.
I used to come here with my family.
What was your son's name? Caleb.
He used to put rocks on that slide.
That was his thing, you know? That and Legos.
Made him totally happy.
How did it happen? A car accident.
We don't have to talk about this.
Oh, it's okay.
Feels good to talk about it.
Especially with you.
It made me a different person.
I I was mad at the world.
I'd see happy families on the street and.
.
I'd wish bad things on them.
That must be terrible.
I still have that anger.
Work on it every day.
I can't imagine losing a child like that.
I hope you never do.
Yeah.
Well, uh.
.
let's get the girls something to eat, and, uh, I'll show you the surprise.
Okay.
Hey.
Gus! Okay.
- You always pick it up! Always.
- Okay.
What is wrong? Where is Alma and the girls? We don't know.
Gus, do you know a person named Kenneth Hasting? Mr.
Hasting? The guy who works with Alma? What? At the university.
Why are you asking about him? Okay, listen to me.
I need to know if Alma said anything about leaving.
No.
And Sophia and Lilly? I thought you said you had the guy.
We were wrong.
Sonya Cross.
Has Kenneth been in my house? I I don't know.
Maybe.
You should have told me that, Gus.
I know, it's she asked me not to.
Are you sure it's the same guy? Yes.
Are they going to be okay? I don't know.
They found Hasting's apartment.
I'm taking you to the station.
It's not safe for you here, all right? Let's go.

He's smart.
He's been planning this for a long time.
What's weird is he made me closer to my dad.
What are you talking about, Gus? When we were chatting.
You thought you were talking to a girl.
I know, but he gave good advice when I told him how I was feeling about my father.
Gus I have work to do.
