00:00:00 [Music]
00:00:29 In the spring of 1988, my mother and my father crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas.
00:00:37 With them, they brought their hopes, their fears, and a mystery.
00:00:43 A mystery it would take me 20 years to solve.

00:05:04 [Spanish]
00:05:05 Child, you gave me a start.
00:05:08 Sorry, sister.
00:05:10 Desert stars. Where do you find them?
00:05:17 They grow everywhere.
00:05:20 [Music]
00:05:29 Your mother will always be with you.
00:05:33 Happy birthday, Gabriela.
00:05:35 Thank you, sister.
00:05:37 [Music]
00:05:44 [Spanish]
00:06:12 How old?
00:06:13 Five.
00:06:14 Eleven.
00:06:15 How are your friends?
00:06:16 Okay.
00:06:17 Twelve.
00:06:18 How old can I say?
00:06:20 [Spanish]
00:06:40 What did your father do now?
00:06:42 Class is over.
00:06:46 [Baby crying]
00:07:01 Jose is sending me to Stanford.
00:07:04 Oh, that's wonderful.
00:07:06 What's so wonderful about moving halfway across the country?
00:07:09 Gabriela, it's a great school, Gabriela.
00:07:14 You deserve it.
00:07:16 I deserve to stay here.
00:07:19 Where I grew up.
00:07:21 With my friends.
00:07:22 With you.
00:07:24 And her.
00:07:26 You don't want to leave your mother, is that it?
00:07:28 I know it doesn't make sense.
00:07:30 But, it's like she's a part of my life.
00:07:34 A part I can't leave behind.
00:07:37 You couldn't if you tried, child.
00:07:40 Wherever you go, she won't be there.
00:07:44 But you won't be.
00:07:49 When it comes to the school of life, I've been a poor student.
00:07:52 But I have learned this much.
00:07:55 Life is about loss--
00:07:57 Loss and change?
00:07:59 If you can handle one, the other won't matter?
00:08:03 You really believe that?
00:08:06 I must.
00:08:08 Because when you leave, I will lose you, too.
00:08:12 [music]
00:08:23 I have to go pick up Jose at the university.
00:08:26 I'll see you next week, okay?
00:08:28 Well, let me go ahead and give this to you now.
00:08:32 It's your birthday, you know.
00:08:36 A desert star!
00:08:39 They grow everywhere, even in silver.
00:08:44 Happy birthday, Gabriela.
00:08:46 Thank you.
00:08:48 [music]
00:08:52 [singing in Spanish]
00:09:02 [music]
00:09:26 Next week, most of you will be graduating.
00:09:29 Launching yourself into the world.
00:09:32 Launching yourself. Did I just say that?
00:09:34 Like you're a fleet of ships or something.
00:09:36 I'm the professor that launched a thousand students.
00:09:39 [laughter]
00:09:42 So you'll be headed out there to jobs and bosses,
00:09:44 work and bills, spouses and kids.
00:09:48 But what's life without challenge?
00:09:50 You can stay in one place, play it safe,
00:09:52 but you'll never grow.
00:09:55 Take a chance.
00:09:57 What do you got to lose?
00:10:00 Except a false sense of safety?
00:10:04 Because trust me, there's no such thing as safe.
00:10:08 Not in this day and age.
00:10:12 That's it, guys. You guys enjoy your summer.
00:10:14 [applause]
00:10:18 Joe, I need that paper by the end of the day.
00:10:21 Four o'clock.
00:10:23 Did you lose your calendar, mija?
00:10:25 It's Fridays. We take lancheticos.
00:10:28 It's the 10th, dad. May 10th.
00:10:31 May 10th.
00:10:34 Oh, the birthday thing.
00:10:37 Right. That thing.
00:10:44 Mija, Gabby, wait for me.
00:10:48 Wait. Wait for me.
00:10:54 Gabby, this car smells like a dumpster.
00:10:57 You don't like driving with me, then drive yourself.
00:11:00 Oh, wait. You can't drive.
00:11:03 Forgot about that.
00:11:05 I guess my memory's as bad as yours.
00:11:10 Gabby. Gabby.
00:11:12 Mija.
00:11:13 You've got some kind of nerve, dad.
00:11:15 You talk about taking chances and embracing challenge,
00:11:17 and you don't even try.
00:11:19 I've had my challenge.
00:11:20 When you got your Ph.D.,
00:11:22 you put writer's crap on your dissertation.
00:11:25 Gabby. Gabby.
00:11:29 Why don't we have a nice, quiet evening for change?
00:11:33 Why? You don't like change.
00:11:36 Surprise!
00:11:38 [cheering]
00:11:50 Happy birthday.
00:11:53 Happy birthday.
00:11:56 Here you go.
00:11:58 Happy birthday.
00:12:01 [cheering]
00:12:14 Okay, okay. Listen up.
00:12:16 Here we are, gathered here to celebrate Gabby's big two-oh.
00:12:20 Now, I've known this girl since the first grade,
00:12:22 and I've always envied her.
00:12:24 My house was a circus.
00:12:26 I've got four brothers and two sisters.
00:12:29 But here, it was just Gabby and her dad.
00:12:31 We'd go to her room, and he'd leave us alone.
00:12:34 Lest we set fire to it.
00:12:37 And they really did that once.
00:12:39 An innocent experiment with a magnifying glass and a paper cup.
00:12:44 Now, all the time I've known Gab,
00:12:46 she's gotten bigger and smarter.
00:12:49 But one thing's never changed.
00:12:51 Her being the best friend a girl could have.
00:12:54 [awwing]
00:12:59 I've known Gabby a long time, too.
00:13:03 Since...a long time.
00:13:08 I think Gabby is...
00:13:11 Well, I think she's...
00:13:16 Happy birthday, Gabby.
00:13:19 Thank you, Benito.
00:13:21 That was nice.
00:13:22 Nice and lame.
00:13:25 Okay. Listen up, everybody.
00:13:28 My papa used to say,
00:13:30 "Every old crow thinks his is the blackest."
00:13:33 So I know that when I say, "My girl is amazing,"
00:13:35 you're going to say, "Ah, yeah, sure."
00:13:39 Let me tell you something.
00:13:41 This old crow has reason to crow.
00:13:44 My girl's going to Stanford on scholarship.
00:13:47 Uh-huh. Yeah.
00:13:49 [siren]
00:13:54 Is that the police?
00:13:56 [siren]
00:14:02 What is this?
00:14:03 What?
00:14:04 What's going on? Gabby?
00:14:05 Is someone in trouble?
00:14:06 What are they doing here?
00:14:08 You're in trouble, young lady.
00:14:09 What are you up to, Locardo?
00:14:11 What your daughter's up to, Salinas.
00:14:13 Rookie here caught what she did this morning
00:14:14 on the way out of town.
00:14:16 What? What are you talking about?
00:14:18 Officer Hernandez, make your report.
00:14:20 The suspect, Gabriela Salinas, was seen driving while...
00:14:23 Having a birthday.
00:14:26 [cheering]
00:14:29 [laughing]
00:14:45 Hey, this was his idea.
00:14:47 [cheering]
00:14:54 [birds chirping]
00:15:03 You only visit the showroom.
00:15:05 You never drive away in the caddy.
00:15:08 What?
00:15:10 You're hopeless, Vento.
00:15:12 Yeah.
00:15:15 Woo!
00:15:21 Well, I better get out of here
00:15:22 before somebody steals half the town.
00:15:25 Hey, congrats on that Stanford thing.
00:15:27 Thanks.
00:15:31 You know, I've known your dad
00:15:32 since you were nine pounds and an ounce.
00:15:36 We'd hang out on my boat in Isabel,
00:15:38 drink some beers, talk about the weather,
00:15:42 the cowboys, the Spurs.
00:15:44 All those things change with the seasons.
00:15:48 But one thing that never changes,
00:15:52 it's how he talks about you.
00:15:54 He's always proud of you, Gabby.
00:15:57 So I don't have to go to Stanford to make him proud?
00:16:02 No, but you would make him happy.
00:16:06 [birds chirping]
00:16:12 Woo!
00:16:16 Hey!
00:16:18 Police property.
00:16:25 Call me!
00:16:29 My car's around the corner.
00:16:31 You my designated driver?
00:16:33 I'm always a designated driver.
00:16:39 Great party, Dad.
00:16:41 You're the one with all the friends.
00:16:43 It's a party without friends.
00:16:46 Or family.
00:16:51 Tell me the story.
00:16:52 Oh, Gabby.
00:16:54 It is my birthday.
00:16:59 I had left Santa Fe for the summer,
00:17:01 and I was taking a Spanish Lit class
00:17:03 at the University of New Mexico City.
00:17:08 I went to this little cafe off the Socalo.
00:17:12 I bought a cold horchata,
00:17:13 and I ended up giving it to your mother.
00:17:15 Thank God it wasn't hot espresso.
00:17:20 That was the first time I heard her laugh.
00:17:25 Maria Soledad Martina.
00:17:28 Just the name was enough.
00:17:32 We spent the rest of the day talking about our hopes,
00:17:34 our dreams, everything.
00:17:38 Everything?
00:17:43 Everything, but she wouldn't talk about her family?
00:17:48 It was off limits.
00:17:49 I never knew why.
00:17:51 All I knew is they lived in Nicaragua.
00:17:54 Nothing else?
00:17:57 Well, that country was a mess back then.
00:17:59 Maybe her people were Sandinistas,
00:18:01 or they backed Somoza.
00:18:03 Either way, I guess she was ashamed of them.
00:18:11 But I didn't care about that.
00:18:14 I had her.
00:18:16 Nothing else mattered.
00:18:18 It must have mattered.
00:18:20 You had to swim across the Rio Grande.
00:18:23 There were problems with a passport.
00:18:25 But you were an American citizen.
00:18:28 Your passport wasn't enough?
00:18:30 I've thought about this a thousand times.
00:18:33 And you never tell me anything.
00:18:35 What do you want me to say, mija?
00:18:38 That she was an escaped princess fleeing a wicked king?
00:18:42 That she'd stolen the Mexican crown jewels?
00:18:47 She was just a fine, decent woman
00:18:50 who wanted a better life, which I couldn't give her.
00:18:57 My only hope is that I can give it to you.
00:19:01 You had a mom and a dad, Gavs.
00:19:16 You met the minimum.
00:19:18 Take it and live with it.
00:19:20 How would you feel if you never knew your mother or her family?
00:19:23 I'd miss those wonderful trips to El Paso for my gran's pineapple mole.
00:19:27 I'd survive.
00:19:29 You don't get it, T.
00:19:30 My dad's a foster kid.
00:19:32 Grew up alone in Santa Fe.
00:19:34 He has nobody.
00:19:36 It's like I appeared one day from nowhere.
00:19:38 Wanna know where you're from?
00:19:40 Just listen to your name.
00:19:42 Gabriela Carmela Diaz Salinas.
00:19:45 That's a song from Spain singing a thousand years of history just for you.
00:19:49 T, that was wonderful.
00:19:52 That was Dr. Ramon, my history professor.
00:19:55 I only steal from the best.
00:19:57 You okay now?
00:19:58 Better.
00:19:59 Thanks.
00:20:00 Thank Dr. Ramon.
00:20:02 Bye.
00:20:03 Maria Soledad Martina.
00:20:10 Nobody's seen me into that.
00:20:12 But somebody will, soon as they see this.
00:20:21 Hello, world.
00:20:23 Hear our song.
00:20:25 Hey, I'll be grading finals in my office all day.
00:20:39 Need a ride?
00:20:41 No, I'll bike.
00:20:43 You'll need a break by lunch.
00:20:45 How about zapatas?
00:20:47 Hey, hey.
00:20:48 I'm buying.
00:20:49 [beatboxing]
00:20:52 Forget something, Dad?
00:21:03 Gabriela Salinas.
00:21:05 Taekwondo.
00:21:07 Your form is excellent.
00:21:09 How long have you been training?
00:21:10 Long enough to kick your face in.
00:21:12 Did you post on a People's Finder's website a picture of a man?
00:21:18 And a woman?
00:21:20 I did.
00:21:22 So?
00:21:24 I am Franco Martina.
00:21:26 And that woman is my sister.
00:21:28 I would very much like to see her.
00:21:31 Is she here?
00:21:33 After all these years,
00:21:38 I never lost hope that I would find her.
00:21:42 But now,
00:21:47 you say she's buried by the river.
00:21:49 Near San Emilio's Mission.
00:21:51 I'm so sorry. It's just not fair.
00:21:54 Life's not a fair thing.
00:21:56 But at least I found you.
00:22:00 Maria's daughter.
00:22:01 But how?
00:22:02 I didn't even log an address in that posting.
00:22:04 Your email's enough.
00:22:06 A friend of mine hacked your name and address and...
00:22:08 Please forgive me.
00:22:10 I was just so excited.
00:22:12 I have so many questions
00:22:14 about my mom.
00:22:16 You.
00:22:18 Her whole family.
00:22:19 I assume this is your father?
00:22:21 Jose Salinas.
00:22:23 He's a professor at the university.
00:22:24 Take me to him. Now.
00:22:26 What's the hurry?
00:22:28 If I could find that picture, so could others.
00:22:31 You and your father are great race.
00:22:33 He must be warned.
00:22:34 Take me to him.
00:22:35 Take me to him. Now.
00:22:37 Was it bad for you?
00:22:45 This is about Nicaragua, isn't it?
00:22:47 Your family?
00:22:48 My father worked for Samosa.
00:22:50 When his regime collapsed,
00:22:52 we were forced to flee.
00:22:54 Saninistas.
00:22:57 They would have killed us all.
00:23:00 [♪♪♪]
00:23:03 [gunfire]
00:23:14 We were separated, however.
00:23:18 I lost track of everyone.
00:23:20 My sister, my parents.
00:23:22 Your folks are still missing?
00:23:24 Yes, and the Saninistas are still looking for them.
00:23:27 But it's been 20 years.
00:23:29 They have long memories.
00:23:31 I hope your father does as well.
00:23:33 You think he can help you find them?
00:23:35 Maria must have mentioned something.
00:23:37 According to my dad, not Hayward.
00:23:41 Perhaps he spoke in confidence.
00:23:43 My sister told him something
00:23:45 that he could not share with you, to protect you.
00:23:48 Did he ever mention the Red Queen?
00:23:51 What?
00:23:52 The Red Queen is a code we use to help find each other,
00:23:55 like you found me with Maria's picture.
00:23:57 Did he ever mention this?
00:23:59 No. Never.
00:24:03 It doesn't mean he doesn't know.
00:24:06 Please, wait here.
00:24:14 No way. I've waited for this all my life.
00:24:17 If Maria swore your father to secrecy,
00:24:19 he could be uncomfortable speaking in front of you.
00:24:23 [laughs]
00:24:25 I know that expression.
00:24:28 I know it well.
00:24:30 Every time my parents would say no,
00:24:32 Maria's frown lines would form...
00:24:36 right there.
00:24:39 Okay. Talk to them, then we all talk,
00:24:43 and you tell me everything.
00:24:46 [doorbell rings]
00:24:52 [footsteps]
00:24:55 [♪♪♪]
00:25:02 [♪♪♪]
00:25:05 Hello, Tony.
00:25:27 Long time no see.
00:25:31 [♪♪♪]
00:25:34 [screams]
00:25:37 [♪♪♪]
00:25:40 [birds chirping]
00:25:57 [♪♪♪]
00:26:00 Do you know what I'm dealing with out there?
00:26:05 I've got the Emmy, the press,
00:26:07 and one very dead Franco Martina.
00:26:11 Can you keep us out of this?
00:26:15 Depends on what you tell me, Jose.
00:26:17 He fell. He came at me, we fought, and he fell.
00:26:20 About what? What did he want?
00:26:22 Do maniacs have sensible reasons for anything?
00:26:25 So you're telling me you've never met this Franco Martina?
00:26:28 I've never heard of him.
00:26:30 He said he was my uncle.
00:26:32 You talk to this man?
00:26:35 At the house. He wanted to see you.
00:26:38 About what?
00:26:41 He wouldn't say.
00:26:45 You see? Some kind of nutcase.
00:26:48 Can we leave now? My daughter's pretty shook up.
00:26:51 Your daughter?
00:26:53 Suddenly the little girl I watched grow up is your daughter?
00:26:56 I'm sorry, Javier. It came out wrong.
00:27:00 Until this investigation is concluded,
00:27:02 please don't leave town.
00:27:05 Sorry. It came out wrong.
00:27:08 [♪♪♪]
00:27:22 Did you do something? Contact someone?
00:27:25 Talk to me, Gabby. I need to know how that man got to us.
00:27:28 Sent an e-mail to a people's finder.
00:27:30 With you and Mom's picture.
00:27:32 For God's sakes.
00:27:34 You just sent out an open invitation
00:27:36 to every whack job and con artist in the country.
00:27:38 But if that man was a crook or a crazy,
00:27:41 how did he know about Nicaragua?
00:27:43 Did you mention it?
00:27:45 See? That's how con artists work.
00:27:48 You volunteer information and they run with it.
00:27:51 I didn't volunteer the Red Queen.
00:27:53 What?
00:27:55 The Red Queen!
00:27:57 You said you knew about it.
00:27:59 What's the Red Queen?
00:28:01 Nonsense.
00:28:03 Nonsense that lunatic made up to reel you in.
00:28:06 You need to access that website and delete that e-mail
00:28:09 and promise me you'll never do something like--
00:28:11 All I wanted to do was--
00:28:13 Once you get to Stanford, everything will be fine.
00:28:19 You should get some rest and food.
00:28:22 Maybe that special is still on at Alfredo's.
00:28:25 Gabby?
00:28:27 Gabby?
00:28:29 Gabby!
00:28:33 I can't believe your dad actually killed somebody.
00:28:37 He said it was self-defense.
00:28:39 But you don't believe him.
00:28:41 He had this look in his eyes.
00:28:43 I've never seen it before.
00:28:45 It was like he was suddenly someone else.
00:28:47 Maybe that's a good thing.
00:28:49 He's trying to be positive.
00:28:51 It's not helping tea.
00:28:53 Okay, let's start over.
00:28:55 We got a guy who says he's your uncle,
00:28:57 who says your mom's family escaped from the Nisenanistas
00:29:00 in Nicaragua because they worked for Somoza.
00:29:02 Not very likely.
00:29:04 I'm not finished.
00:29:06 Somoza was assassinated in '80 and the Concha War ended in '87.
00:29:09 Other than proving that you're a complete geek, Link,
00:29:11 what does any of that--
00:29:13 I was born in '88.
00:29:15 Somoza was ancient history by then.
00:29:17 The Sandanistas wouldn't have been after your mother or her family.
00:29:20 So Franco or whoever he was was lying?
00:29:24 I'm still here, guys.
00:29:26 But so was your dad.
00:29:28 If your parents weren't in any real danger,
00:29:30 they could have gained entry to this country on Jose's passport.
00:29:32 What are you trying to say?
00:29:34 That my parents didn't have to cross the river in the middle of nowhere?
00:29:36 That my mother didn't have to die?
00:29:39 Stop!
00:29:41 Stop making this all complicated.
00:29:44 You want the facts to go right to the source.
00:29:46 If you mean my dad, that's a joke.
00:29:49 After what happened today, he's not laughing.
00:29:52 Maybe he'll open up now.
00:29:55 What have you got to lose?
00:29:57 Dad?
00:30:13 Dad?
00:30:15 Dad?
00:30:33 Where the hell were you?
00:30:36 I heard talking up here.
00:30:38 It sounded weird.
00:30:41 They had the radio on.
00:30:43 Al Jazeera.
00:30:45 For some reason I didn't understand a damn word.
00:30:48 You're drinking?
00:30:52 So?
00:30:54 I've never seen you drink.
00:30:57 Or smoke.
00:30:59 I watched a man die today, Mica.
00:31:09 I'm so sorry. I know this is all my fault.
00:31:12 No, don't say that.
00:31:14 Don't ever say that.
00:31:16 If this is your fault, then up is down.
00:31:19 And wrong is right.
00:31:22 The best thing that ever happened to me...
00:31:26 Without you, nothing else matters.
00:31:30 Nothing else matters.
00:31:33 [Sighs]
00:31:35 I'm going to get you to bed, Dad.
00:31:42 Bed?
00:31:44 Oh yeah, bed.
00:31:46 Dad.
00:31:57 If there was something I needed to know...
00:32:01 You would tell me, right?
00:32:04 Would you do it?
00:32:06 Do what?
00:32:07 Pull the picture off the website.
00:32:09 At the library.
00:32:11 This afternoon, but I can't promise it's gonna...
00:32:13 You're a good girl.
00:32:15 You're my best girl.
00:32:17 The best thing that ever happened to me...
00:32:20 Next to her.
00:32:23 [Sighs]
00:32:25 I don't recognize him.
00:32:33 He's changing before my eyes.
00:32:35 One thing cannot change.
00:32:37 He says you're a father and he loves you.
00:32:39 Do loving fathers lie to their daughters?
00:32:41 If he is, it's only to protect you.
00:32:44 From what?
00:32:46 From cool and dishonest men.
00:32:48 The one we encountered today.
00:32:50 What happened was terrible and sad.
00:32:52 But I'm sure Jose had no choice.
00:32:54 God, I hope you're right.
00:32:56 God is hope.
00:32:58 Remember, he's always with you.
00:33:00 I just wish my mother were here right now.
00:33:02 She is.
00:33:04 Just look up at the stars tonight.
00:33:06 The way they sparkle.
00:33:08 One of them shines for you.
00:33:10 Thank you, sister.

00:34:38 What?
00:34:40 What?
00:34:42 That is no way to start a day of fun and adventure.
00:34:44 There's an art walk in McAllen.
00:34:46 We're walking.
00:34:48 And darting.
00:34:50 But you hate art shows.
00:34:52 You call them collections of expensive, worthless objects.
00:34:54 Only before I have my morning cup of coffee.
00:34:59 Mmm.
00:35:01 Voila.
00:35:03 Now the overpriced dust collectors
00:35:05 are priceless collector's items.
00:35:07 Whichever alien planet you come from,
00:35:10 please vacate my father's body.
00:35:12 Don't delay, turtling.
00:35:14 I am here to conquer.
00:35:16 [laughs]
00:35:18 Come on, let's go.
00:35:20 [♪♪♪]
00:35:24 [♪♪♪]
00:35:27 Priceless collector's item?
00:35:46 I'm going to collect the hot dog.
00:35:48 You want one?
00:35:50 Sure. Don't forget the mustard.
00:35:52 [laughs]
00:35:54 Chérie! Chérie!
00:35:56 Yeah! Yeah!
00:35:58 Pick a card. Pick a card.
00:36:00 Any card. Any card.
00:36:02 I pick a card, what do I get?
00:36:04 A big surprise.
00:36:06 A major prize.
00:36:08 A mega prize.
00:36:10 Pick. Pick! Pick!
00:36:12 Don't look at it.
00:36:16 Don't look at it until I say so, eh?
00:36:18 Okay? Okay.
00:36:20 Now,
00:36:22 I'm going to guess a card.
00:36:24 Guess a card.
00:36:26 But you guess fast.
00:36:28 Fast, fast, fast.
00:36:30 Ace of spades.
00:36:34 Good guess. Good, good guess.
00:36:36 Now look at it.
00:36:38 Take a look. Take a look.
00:36:40 Right card. Wrong game.
00:36:44 Surprise.
00:36:48 Damn it! Mika!
00:36:50 What's wrong?
00:36:54 That man, he showed me.
00:36:56 Gabby.
00:36:58 Gabby! What happened?
00:37:00 [music]
00:37:02 [music]
00:37:04 (dramatic music)
00:37:06 (dramatic music)
00:37:10 (dramatic music)
00:37:37 - They won't do anything to us in here.
00:37:39 There's too many people, we have a moment.
00:37:43 - Who won't do anything?
00:37:44 What are you talking about?
00:37:47 - Well, hello there.
00:37:49 I hope you're in the mood for some fresh lemonade.
00:37:52 Or a hot dog.
00:37:53 Oh, I see you've already had one.
00:37:56 - We love something new.
00:37:57 - Well, good.
00:37:58 It helps the parish charities, you know.
00:38:00 The concessions are to our benefit today.
00:38:02 Every dime goes to children's programs,
00:38:04 Meals on Wheels, Bible classes.
00:38:06 - We're really thirsty.
00:38:08 - Oh, the lemonade, yes.
00:38:10 Yes, we'll be right back.
00:38:11 - Your mom wasn't from Nicaragua,
00:38:14 she was born in Venezuela.
00:38:16 Narco-terrorists wiped out her village,
00:38:18 killed her whole family.
00:38:19 - Oh no.
00:38:20 - Yes, but somehow, despite all she'd lost,
00:38:23 she never lost her humanity.
00:38:25 She rebuilt her life, worked her way through school,
00:38:27 her future was bright.
00:38:29 And she fell in love.
00:38:30 - Sounds like a happy ending.
00:38:32 - Yeah, it would have been.
00:38:33 She fell in love with me,
00:38:35 the man of her dreams was a nightmare.
00:38:37 - Here we are.
00:38:37 50 cents for both.
00:38:42 - Thank you, Church.
00:38:45 - Oh, aren't you kind?
00:38:47 Now, here is a calendar of our parish events.
00:38:50 Bingo is every Friday night.
00:38:52 Now, Thursday night--
00:38:53 - Bye now.
00:38:54 Please?
00:38:56 - Yes, okay.
00:38:56 - Thought you'd snap a neck.
00:39:00 - Waited for this a long time.
00:39:02 Go on.
00:39:05 - Your mother got involved
00:39:07 with one of the wealthiest men in Venezuela.
00:39:08 His name was Sanchez.
00:39:10 His idea of love was that of a man who owns a fine horse.
00:39:13 First you break it, and then you staple it.
00:39:15 After the initial infatuation,
00:39:18 Maria came to her senses, and she ran for her life.
00:39:21 - To Mexico City?
00:39:23 - Caracas.
00:39:24 Where we did meet in a cafe.
00:39:28 Only, she wasn't laughing that day.
00:39:34 (lighthearted music)
00:39:37 She was sad and alone.
00:39:55 Something about this girl,
00:39:59 the lost look in her eyes, it drew me to her.
00:40:03 I took a chance and sat at her table.
00:40:05 She rewarded me with a smile.
00:40:09 And so our love began, and all was well,
00:40:21 but we had one serious problem.
00:40:23 - Sanchez.
00:40:24 - The man thought he owned your mother,
00:40:26 like she was a horse that had escaped him.
00:40:28 - He followed you to Mexico City?
00:40:29 - And beyond.
00:40:31 Sanchez and his men followed us
00:40:32 all the way to the border,
00:40:33 which is why we had to sneak into the country.
00:40:36 (lighthearted music)
00:40:40 (crow cawing)
00:40:45 (man shouting)
00:40:53 (gun firing)
00:40:57 (man shouting)
00:40:59 (man shouting)
00:41:02 - Even after your mother died, the danger wasn't over.
00:41:07 I had your birth certificate,
00:41:09 but there was no DNA then, no real proof.
00:41:12 Sanchez would have claimed you as his very own.
00:41:15 - But you could fight him.
00:41:17 - Yeah, he had money and influence.
00:41:19 It was a war I would have lost.
00:41:20 - So Franco and the man with the car?
00:41:22 - They worked for Sanchez,
00:41:24 which means that Sanchez is still looking for us.
00:41:26 - But like you said, there's DNA.
00:41:28 You could prove that I'm yours.
00:41:29 - We're past that, Gabby.
00:41:32 You're a young woman now, think about it.
00:41:35 Exactly.
00:41:36 If he can't own your mother, he'll take you.
00:41:40 Crowd is starting to thin out in here.
00:41:45 We have to go.
00:41:46 - Where?
00:41:47 - As far away as we can.
00:41:48 Give me the keys.
00:41:56 - But you don't drive.
00:41:57 (snaps fingers)
00:42:00 - Bonjour.
00:42:06 (grunts)
00:42:10 - Get in the damn car!
00:42:16 (dramatic music)
00:42:19 (tires screeching)
00:42:23 (gasps)
00:42:26 (dramatic music)
00:42:29 (sobs)
00:42:46 (sobs)
00:42:48 (tires screeching)
00:42:56 (sobs)
00:43:00 (gasps)
00:43:08 (dramatic music)
00:43:11 (gasps)
00:43:13 (tires screeching)
00:43:20 - We have a storage unit?
00:43:34 - Since your third birthday.
00:43:36 - Guns?
00:43:36 Credit cards?
00:43:40 Passports?
00:43:41 Mexico?
00:43:43 Canada?
00:43:45 China?
00:43:47 Pakistan?
00:43:49 The picture on these, it's new.
00:43:54 - I got off your student ID.
00:43:55 - Who are you?
00:44:00 - I'm your daddy, Mija.
00:44:04 (dramatic music)
00:44:08 (tires screeching)
00:44:11 - We're heading to Port Isabel tonight.
00:44:21 Friend of mine there has a boat.
00:44:23 We'll take to sea.
00:44:24 We'll tour the world.
00:44:25 Sanchez will never find us.
00:44:27 - That's your plan?
00:44:29 - Do you have a better one?
00:44:31 I'll have the lasagna.
00:44:36 I gotta go make a phone call.
00:44:37 - You never told me.
00:44:38 About the Red Queen?
00:44:41 What does it mean?
00:44:42 - Nothing.
00:44:43 Sanchez likes mind games.
00:44:45 I'll be back in a minute.
00:44:47 - Coffee, water, iced tea?
00:44:54 - No, thank you.
00:44:56 - Then how about some lemonade?
00:44:57 It's for the church, you know.
00:45:05 Running is a waste of time.
00:45:06 I've got eyes everywhere.
00:45:07 How do you think I found you?
00:45:09 - What do you want?
00:45:17 - What everybody wants.
00:45:20 Life, love, happiness, but I'll settle for the Red Queen.
00:45:24 - You work for Sanchez?
00:45:25 - Sanchez?
00:45:27 - Your boss.
00:45:28 Hunted my mother, now he's hunting me?
00:45:31 That Sanchez.
00:45:33 - You wanna know who I work for?
00:45:34 Hop over to Washington, D.C.,
00:45:36 drop in an office on K Street off Farragut Square.
00:45:38 There are three letters on the door.
00:45:40 - FBI?
00:45:41 - My department is so secret,
00:45:44 I can't even tell you the letters,
00:45:45 but I can tell you how much we want the Red Queen.
00:45:48 - I don't know any Red Queen.
00:45:49 What are you talking about?
00:45:51 - Picture is worth a thousand words, even on a card.
00:45:55 Ace of clubs,
00:45:59 jack of spades,
00:46:01 queen of hearts.
00:46:03 No ID on this one,
00:46:04 but we're certain that the Red Queen is in this country,
00:46:07 under deep cover,
00:46:08 planning an op that's gonna make 9/11
00:46:10 look like a skinned knee.
00:46:11 She's working with a man named Ali Kari Zahra Maliki,
00:46:16 king of hearts.
00:46:18 - Oh.
00:46:21 (speaking in foreign language)
00:46:29 (speaking in foreign language)
00:46:33 (somber music)
00:46:43 - My dad's a college professor, a foster kid.
00:46:57 He grew up in Santa Fe.
00:46:59 Republican guard born in Basra.
00:47:01 - Santa Fe, he's from Santa Fe.
00:47:04 - And where is your mother from?
00:47:07 Here's our guess.
00:47:12 She was some poor knocked up kid hanging around Reynosa.
00:47:15 Her ready-made family is good cover,
00:47:17 so Ali Kari took her with him into the States in '88.
00:47:20 - How can you be so sure?
00:47:22 - 'Cause after he crossed the border,
00:47:23 two of my men tried to stop him.
00:47:25 He killed them both.
00:47:27 - I bet your mother didn't live much longer, or did she?
00:47:30 - She died having me.
00:47:32 - Everybody dies a natural death around the king of hearts.
00:47:35 - But then under the mission, she told me.
00:47:37 - What she had to tell you if she wanted to stay alive.
00:47:39 (somber music)
00:47:42 Stay with the king until he finds his queen
00:47:52 and then call us.
00:47:53 - This is a bad joke.
00:47:55 Bad joke.
00:47:56 - It happens in other blood.
00:47:58 Your Jose from Santa Fe is a dead man walking,
00:48:00 and if you don't wanna follow him into hell,
00:48:03 you do as I say.
00:48:04 Oh, here comes Daddy.
00:48:09 - Did you order yet?
00:48:14 What's wrong, Mija?
00:48:20 You look sick.
00:48:21 - I am.
00:48:24 Need a bathroom.
00:48:25 - Yeah.
00:48:26 (dramatic music)
00:48:31 - After he crossed the border,
00:48:44 two of my men tried to stop him.
00:48:46 He killed them both.
00:48:47 (gun firing)
00:48:53 (dramatic music)
00:48:55 - I bet your mother didn't live much longer.
00:49:10 (baby crying)
00:49:14 (dramatic music)
00:49:17 - Nobody dies a natural death around the King of Hearts.
00:49:28 (gun firing)
00:49:35 (dramatic music)
00:49:38 (baby crying)
00:49:44 (dramatic music)
00:49:47 (knocking)
00:49:56 - Mija, you in there?
00:49:58 (knocking)
00:49:59 Mija.
00:50:00 (knocking)
00:50:02 Mija.
00:50:12 - Santa Ana.
00:50:14 The answer is General Isidro Antonio de Padua Maria
00:50:16 Seferino Lopez Santa Ana.
00:50:18 - Who?
00:50:20 - How can you know about the Alamo
00:50:21 and not know who the bad guy was?
00:50:22 - Hey, in Mexico, Santa Ana ain't the bad guy.
00:50:25 - We're in Texas?
00:50:27 - Don't remind me.
00:50:28 - Madre de Dios.
00:50:31 - I kept looking, but I don't think they followed me.
00:50:35 Is there anyone in the street?
00:50:37 Did they follow me?
00:50:38 - Gabs, what happened?
00:50:39 - I wanted to know.
00:50:41 God help me, I wanted to know.
00:50:43 - I've scanned every federal website I could find.
00:50:49 They've issued playing cards with terrorist faces on them,
00:50:51 but not your dad's.
00:50:53 And there's no Queen of Hearts.
00:50:54 - Maybe it's a secret set the feds pull out
00:50:56 for special occasions.
00:50:58 Lucky me.
00:51:00 - But none of this hangs together.
00:51:02 Why would a terrorist keep a baby?
00:51:04 - And why would he wait 20 years
00:51:05 to pull another Twin Towers?
00:51:07 - He's waiting on the Red Queen.
00:51:10 - How convenient.
00:51:11 - You think I made all this up?
00:51:13 - No, but somebody is.
00:51:15 Someone has to be lying to you.
00:51:17 - Your dad or the lady with the cards.
00:51:19 - Which unfortunately covers everyone in this story.
00:51:22 - Not everyone.
00:51:23 - Gabriela, I've told you all I know.
00:51:29 - It's not enough, sister.
00:51:31 I need everything that happened the day I was born.
00:51:33 You can't hold anything back now.
00:51:36 It's just too important.
00:51:37 - When will you be here?
00:51:39 - Within an hour.
00:51:40 I'm depending on you, sister.
00:51:42 - Antonio.
00:51:50 - Tell me again why I can't come along.
00:51:54 - Someone had to see Chief Lecardo and fill him in.
00:51:56 - There's this thing they've invented called a cell phone.
00:51:59 - He won't believe such a crazy story
00:52:01 unless you talk face to face.
00:52:03 - You're trying to get rid of me, aren't you?
00:52:05 - Yes.
00:52:06 - You admit it?
00:52:07 - I admit I don't want you getting in the way,
00:52:09 opening your big fat mouth
00:52:10 and making a mess out of things.
00:52:12 - I wouldn't get hurt, Gavs.
00:52:15 - I can't take the chance.
00:52:16 (somber music)
00:52:22 (engine revving)
00:52:25 - Stop the car!
00:52:43 Stop the car!
00:52:44 Did you keep checking your mirrors?
00:52:51 - There's no one behind us, Gabby, we're safe.
00:52:53 - Safe?
00:52:54 There's no such thing as safe.
00:52:55 When we get there, drop me off and drive away.
00:52:58 - No.
00:52:58 - You'll do what I say.
00:52:59 - No.
00:53:00 - Day before yesterday, you couldn't look me in the eye.
00:53:04 - Yesterday?
00:53:05 You weren't in danger.
00:53:06 What are you doing?
00:53:17 - Looking for the big red S on your chest, Superman.
00:53:21 (Gabby chuckles)
00:53:23 (Gabby grunts)
00:53:39 - Big fat mouth.
00:53:48 - If I've got such a big fat mouth,
00:53:50 why should the chief listen to me?
00:53:52 - He'll listen and he'll laugh, that's what he'll do.
00:53:54 - What am I doing?
00:54:01 I don't even know what I'm looking at.
00:54:03 If I did, I wouldn't know what to do.
00:54:05 This is dumb.
00:54:06 - When did she leave?
00:54:10 (Gabby gasps)
00:54:13 (dramatic music)
00:54:16 - I was looking for the truth about my mother.
00:54:28 That's how this all began.
00:54:30 - You didn't do anything wrong.
00:54:33 - Someone did.
00:54:34 I think I know who.
00:54:36 - Gabby, what that woman said about Jose could be a lie.
00:54:40 - I'm not talking about my dad.
00:54:42 I'm talking about the one person I thought
00:54:44 would never lie to me.
00:54:46 Now that I'm finally allowing myself to look at all this,
00:54:49 I can see the truth.
00:54:50 And it's not pretty, Benito.
00:54:52 - Gabby, wait.
00:55:04 - I need you to stay here and please don't say no.
00:55:06 - What should I say?
00:55:07 - That you trust me.
00:55:10 - Gabby, is there something dangerous waiting for you here?
00:55:13 Are you taking some kind of chance?
00:55:15 - I started this.
00:55:16 And I need to finish it on my own.
00:55:20 - Okay.
00:55:22 ♪ Wait ♪
00:55:28 ♪ Until there's nothing left to say ♪
00:55:33 ♪ Until the darkness falls through the stars ♪

00:56:17 - I thought you'd be hungry, Gabela.
00:56:19 I hope you're in the mood to salpicón.
00:56:22 - Where is everyone?
00:56:24 - Father Diaz, he took the children to town for ice cream.
00:56:27 Everyone else, I just sent them away.
00:56:30 I thought we could use a peace and quiet.
00:56:32 - Tell me about the day you met my mother.
00:56:34 - I told you many times.
00:56:37 I met them on the road to the mission.
00:56:40 I brought them here.
00:56:41 Maria had her baby, then she died.
00:56:43 There is nothing more.
00:56:46 - Maria?
00:56:47 Maria Soledad Martina?
00:56:50 I understand lying about everything else,
00:56:54 but why lie about her name?
00:56:57 - You're not making any sense, child.
00:56:59 - Then I should start at the beginning.
00:57:01 They were found by the road and taken to the mission.
00:57:05 My mother had me and my father.
00:57:07 Well, guess I'll never know who my real father was.
00:57:11 - Except for what you just said about Jose.
00:57:13 It happened that way, yes.
00:57:16 There was your father, your mother, and myself.
00:57:18 - And one more person.
00:57:19 She had already crossed the border
00:57:21 to meet the man she called the king of hearts.
00:57:24 Sister Carmela, kind, loving sister Carmela.
00:57:27 All she had to do was die
00:57:31 so that the Red Queen could live.
00:57:35 - The Red Queen?
00:57:37 Who's this Red Queen?
00:57:39 - You are!
00:57:41 You are!
00:57:41 You're the Red Queen!
00:57:44 - That was a mistake.
00:57:49 (dramatic music)
00:57:53 (dramatic music)
00:57:56 - You should get a bandage for that.
00:58:15 - I'm no stranger to pain.
00:58:16 - But you're a stranger to me!
00:58:18 - None of what you say is true.
00:58:21 - Nothing you've ever told me is true.
00:58:23 But just this once, be honest with me.
00:58:28 Please just tell me one thing.
00:58:30 Which of you killed my mother?
00:58:36 (dramatic music)
00:58:39 - That was close.
00:58:50 - Not close enough!
00:58:52 This is all your fault!
00:58:53 - I didn't put the picture on the net.
00:58:55 - She wouldn't have if you would've told her
00:58:57 the right story!
00:58:58 - I told her the story we agreed on.
00:59:00 - Well then why did she believe you?
00:59:02 - None of this was my idea.
00:59:04 - Oh, so now you weren't there.
00:59:06 - It was a lousy plan!
00:59:07 (speaking in foreign language)
00:59:11 - Quiet!
00:59:14 Shut up!
00:59:15 Stop!
00:59:18 What is this?
00:59:19 What's going on?
00:59:21 Who are you people?
00:59:24 - Isn't it obvious, Gabby?
00:59:26 Look at how they fight.
00:59:30 Mad as cats but still crazy about each other.
00:59:33 What kind of people argue like this?
00:59:35 Gabby, you wanted to know your mother.
00:59:39 Well, here's your chance.
00:59:41 - Mom?
00:59:45 Mom?
00:59:46 - I know I shouldn't have trusted him
00:59:54 but he was so upset.
00:59:56 So Jose, I just had to tell him everything.
01:00:01 - It's okay, Tina.
01:00:02 - He's her dad for God's sake.
01:00:04 And if he was evil or something,
01:00:06 wouldn't he have hurt me to get what he wanted?
01:00:08 - What about Chief Locardo?
01:00:10 - Jose said he'd handle that himself.
01:00:14 - Did I do wrong?
01:00:15 - Tina, you can do no wrong.
01:00:17 Just relax.
01:00:18 - What about Gabs?
01:00:19 How's she doing?
01:00:20 - She's been better.
01:00:22 - And the Red Queen said,
01:00:30 "It takes all the running you can do
01:00:32 "to keep in the same place."
01:00:34 It's like I'm Alice and I've fallen
01:00:37 through the looking glass.
01:00:38 - They're waiting for you.
01:00:42 - I think they'll tell the truth this time.
01:00:45 - If they don't, I'll kill them.
01:00:48 (dramatic music)
01:00:53 (dramatic music)
01:00:55 (dramatic music)
01:00:58 (dramatic music)
01:01:01 - Mija.
01:01:27 - Don't you dare call me that.
01:01:28 Till I know who you really are, both of you,
01:01:33 I don't want you to call me anything.
01:01:35 Well,
01:01:38 someone start lying.
01:01:40 - No more lies.
01:01:43 You can do it all this time.
01:01:47 - The problem is, the truth is less believable
01:01:50 than anything we've told you.
01:01:52 - That's comforting.
01:01:54 - And honestly, we don't know where to begin.
01:01:57 - Why don't you start with the day you met?
01:01:59 - In '88, I was working for the company
01:02:08 as a covert field officer,
01:02:11 stationed in the embassy in Beirut.
01:02:14 - You were a spy?
01:02:15 - A spy who tracked and terminated other spies.
01:02:17 (dramatic music)
01:02:20 (dramatic music)
01:02:23 (dramatic music)
01:02:25 (dramatic music)
01:02:28 (dramatic music)
01:02:31 (dramatic music)
01:02:34 (dramatic music)
01:02:36 (dramatic music)
01:02:39 (dramatic music)
01:02:42 (dramatic music)
01:02:46 (dramatic music)
01:02:50 (dramatic music)
01:02:53 (dramatic music)
01:02:57 (dramatic music)
01:03:01 (dramatic music)
01:03:05 (dramatic music)
01:03:09 (dramatic music)
01:03:12 (dramatic music)
01:03:14 - My current assignment was a Syrian operative,
01:03:17 code name Red Queen.
01:03:19 One of their best people, a prime target.
01:03:22 But the Queen found me first.
01:03:25 (dramatic music)
01:03:29 (dramatic music)
01:03:34 (dramatic music)
01:03:38 (dramatic music)
01:03:41 (dramatic music)
01:03:43 Should have ended there, but it didn't.
01:03:47 (dramatic music)
01:03:51 (gasps)
01:03:55 - Something in his eyes stopped me.
01:04:01 That, and the fact that I was sick of what I had become,
01:04:06 what I had done.
01:04:08 I couldn't take it anymore.
01:04:10 - She was defenseless.
01:04:13 I could have finished it right then.
01:04:17 But the way she looked was the way I felt.
01:04:26 I was done too.
01:04:28 Well, then, it just happened.
01:04:36 (dramatic music)
01:04:38 - I never felt about anyone like her.
01:04:41 I felt like my life had finally begun.
01:04:44 It was wonderful.
01:04:46 - We're too short a time.
01:04:48 - Until when?
01:04:50 - Until you.
01:04:51 - When I became pregnant, we were thrilled and terrified.
01:04:56 - The Syrians would have executed her on the spot.
01:04:59 - The company would have killed your father.
01:05:01 - Overnight, we were fugitives without a flag or a nation.
01:05:04 - With a bounty on our head.
01:05:06 - From the Syrians and the company.
01:05:07 - So we fled from Beirut to Malta.
01:05:10 - To Paris, to Veracruz.
01:05:12 - Until we finally arrived here.
01:05:15 - When you crossed the Rio Grande.
01:05:16 - Well, we did cross the river.
01:05:21 - But we flew over it first class.
01:05:25 (dramatic music)
01:05:31 (water splashing)
01:05:34 - We found a glance from near Roma, isolated and quiet.
01:05:40 We thought we were safe.
01:05:42 - You want what?
01:05:50 - Grape jelly, preserves.
01:05:52 - You're really gonna slather it on this meat?
01:05:54 - Delicious, you should try it.
01:05:57 - Yeah, what if I get pregnant?
01:05:59 (dramatic music)
01:06:01 (chuckles)
01:06:04 (dramatic music)
01:06:16 - Le Brat.
01:06:28 - Do we look like the lowly paid civil servants
01:06:31 who slay for the Syrian secret police?
01:06:33 - We're independent, out of my faith.
01:06:36 - Come a long way.
01:06:40 - You're worth it, mademoiselle.
01:06:41 - The bounty on your head has risen to the stars.
01:06:44 - How high?
01:06:45 200, three?
01:06:47 - One million dollars.
01:06:53 - And half as much for the man.
01:06:55 Where is he?
01:07:00 - He abandoned me weeks ago.
01:07:02 - Why, papa, so you won't tell us the truth?
01:07:06 - Then we will have to force her, son.
01:07:09 (dramatic music)
01:07:12 (dramatic music)
01:07:15 (gun firing)
01:07:34 (dramatic music)
01:07:39 (thunder rumbling)
01:07:42 (speaking in foreign language)
01:07:55 (thunder rumbling)
01:07:58 (speaking in foreign language)
01:08:02 (thunder rumbling)
01:08:20 (speaking in foreign language)
01:08:47 (speaking in foreign language)
01:08:51 (thunder rumbling)
01:09:01 (groaning)
01:09:17 - What happened?
01:09:18 No, actually, it's me.
01:09:19 (gasping)
01:09:22 - How was your day, honey?
01:09:25 (laughing)
01:09:27 Oh, my water just broke.
01:09:34 (groaning)
01:09:36 (thunder rumbling)
01:09:45 (gasping)
01:09:47 - I bet you preferred the story
01:09:48 of the evil Venezuelan horse rancher.
01:09:50 - Please tell me you're lying about this, too.
01:09:53 - You wanted the truth.
01:09:54 - Be careful what you wish for.
01:09:56 - So the baby came, but where?
01:09:59 - That part, we never made up.
01:10:01 - The nearest thing to medical attention
01:10:03 was the nurse at the mission.
01:10:05 Then she did help us.
01:10:07 - She?
01:10:08 - The real sister of her mother.
01:10:09 (dramatic music)
01:10:12 (dramatic music)
01:10:15 - Not long after this picture was taken,
01:10:19 the good sister died.
01:10:20 - Of natural causes, lymphoma.
01:10:30 - We thought the best thing was
01:10:31 that I stay here and take her place.
01:10:33 - For what possible reason?
01:10:35 - For three million of them.
01:10:36 (dramatic music)
01:10:39 - The heat on me eventually cooled down.
01:10:46 I was able to trade some secrets, get some favors.
01:10:49 The company gave me a pass, barely.
01:10:55 But your mother was another matter.
01:11:07 The syrinx tripled the bounty on my head.
01:11:09 - To three million dollars?
01:11:11 - For that kind of money,
01:11:12 there were people that will never stop looking.
01:11:16 - We knew it was a matter of time until somebody found me.
01:11:20 So to keep her daughter safe, I decided to die.
01:11:23 - And Sister Carmela was reborn.
01:11:25 - So do you guys have any real names or family?
01:11:30 Or have you forgotten?
01:11:34 - I'm Anthony Minetti from Boston.
01:11:36 - I was born in Damascus.
01:11:41 My name is Nadia Salima.
01:11:43 (dramatic music)
01:11:47 (sad music)
01:11:49 - Gabby?
01:12:07 - All this time I've breathed over my mother's grave.
01:12:10 She's been standing right next to me.
01:12:13 Is that love?
01:12:17 - For her it was.
01:12:18 Gabby, I,
01:12:29 I have strong feelings for you.
01:12:33 - Your timing is terrible, Benito.
01:12:36 - I'm Superman, remember?
01:12:40 His timing's perfect.
01:12:44 - Mija, can I call you that now?
01:12:47 - I'll be with your mom.
01:12:59 - Is that really Benito or some kind of imposter?
01:13:06 - You should know.
01:13:07 - Take a walk with me.
01:13:14 - Please?
01:13:15 - The plan is still the same.
01:13:28 We'll go to Port Isabel.
01:13:29 From there we take to sea.
01:13:33 First stop will be the Caymans.
01:13:34 We'll access our blind accounts.
01:13:36 From there we will--
01:13:36 - You keep saying we.
01:13:38 Who is we?
01:13:40 - The three of us.
01:13:42 - There has never been a we.
01:13:43 There has never been a three of us.
01:13:45 Why start now?
01:13:47 - Mija, it's only a matter of time
01:13:49 before the Syrians find us.
01:13:50 - They're not looking for me.
01:13:52 This is your mess.
01:13:54 - Mija.
01:13:55 - On second thought, don't call me that.
01:13:59 - Look, we just wanted to keep you safe.
01:14:02 - No.
01:14:03 You wanted to live a lie.
01:14:06 And I paid the price for it.
01:14:08 - Oh, and you don't think your mother paid?
01:14:12 You think she wanted to see you only a few times a year?
01:14:15 Why do you think I quit coming to this place?
01:14:17 Can you imagine seeing that woman,
01:14:20 that amazing woman, and not older?
01:14:23 - Yes, I can.
01:14:25 I felt that every day.
01:14:29 - Sorry.
01:14:32 We did the best we could.
01:14:33 - The all-purpose excuse.
01:14:35 For bad parents everywhere.
01:14:37 - Where are you going now?
01:14:42 - Where you wanted me to go.
01:14:43 To Stanford.
01:14:45 Halfway across the country.
01:14:48 I only wish it was halfway across the world.
01:14:51 (somber music)
01:14:57 (somber music)
01:14:59 (somber music)
01:15:02 (somber music)
01:15:04 (somber music)
01:15:07 (somber music)
01:15:36 - Mija.
01:15:37 - No.
01:15:39 - You sure about this, Gabby?
01:15:51 They are your parents.
01:15:53 - I don't know who they are.
01:16:04 (somber music)
01:16:34 - Border patrol.
01:16:36 What could they want?
01:16:37 Gabby?
01:16:39 Is there a problem, officer?
01:16:47 - Bonjour.
01:16:51 - Surprise.
01:16:54 (dramatic music)
01:17:01 (dramatic music)
01:17:04 (speaking in foreign language)
01:17:21 (speaking in foreign language)
01:17:25 - His English was your second language?
01:17:33 - If you're asking if I lied about being an agent
01:17:37 of the United States government,
01:17:39 the answer is of course.
01:17:41 - He's not part of this, leave him alone.
01:17:43 - I'm not going anywhere.
01:17:45 - Please, Benito, she wants me.
01:17:46 - Oh, shut up.
01:17:47 I hate bad movie moments
01:17:48 and I'm not after either of you anyway.
01:17:50 - But the Red Queen, I'm her daughter.
01:17:53 - Well, every girl is someone's daughter
01:17:55 and every boy is someone's son.
01:17:57 - Then what are we doing here?
01:17:59 - You know, I was in the mood for a drink
01:18:01 and I hate drinking alone.
01:18:02 I feel like white, how about you?
01:18:06 To the Red Queen.
01:18:09 May she choke to death on her own blood.
01:18:12 I suppose I should understand,
01:18:15 the woman is your mother and family is all that matters.
01:18:18 - That and three million dollars?
01:18:21 - Three million dollars.
01:18:22 - The bounty from the Syrians, for the Red Queen?
01:18:25 - Oh, that.
01:18:26 The Syrians canceled that years ago.
01:18:29 - Then what are you doing here?
01:18:31 - Well, like I said, family is all that matters.
01:18:35 In this case, my family, my son, my husband.
01:18:39 - Then this isn't about money?
01:18:42 - It's about love or hate,
01:18:46 depending on how one looks at it.
01:18:49 (car door slams)
01:18:52 - Take them back to their car.
01:18:53 Oh, by the way, merci beaucoup.
01:18:59 - For what?
01:19:01 - For leading us to your parents.
01:19:03 - But I made sure we weren't followed.
01:19:05 - What decade are you living in?
01:19:06 Human eyeballs can't match directional beacons,
01:19:09 like the one in the cell phone I gave you.
01:19:11 - That's why you stopped us?
01:19:17 You wanted me to know?
01:19:19 - Family is all that matters,
01:19:21 but in your case, not for long.
01:19:23 (Mika screams)
01:19:26 Get them out of here.
01:19:27 Have a safe trip.
01:19:31 (Mika screams)
01:19:33 - Those, these men with the guns,
01:19:40 I know it's all my fault.
01:19:42 - Mika, Mika, calm down.
01:19:44 You need to calm down.
01:19:45 It's all gonna be fine.
01:19:48 Don't worry about the cell phone or those people.
01:19:51 - I know it's all my fault.
01:19:52 - Mika, you need to calm down.
01:19:54 - Gabriela, please stop.
01:19:58 Don't put this on yourself.
01:20:00 This started before you were born.
01:20:02 - Oh, mommy, I'm so sorry.
01:20:05 - Don't be, and they would have found me eventually.
01:20:08 And this is not a bad thing.
01:20:11 Now we'll all be free.
01:20:13 - I'll be alone.
01:20:14 - No, Mijita, we'll always be with you.
01:20:18 - I love you, mommy.
01:20:19 - We love you too, Gabriela.
01:20:21 - We gotta go back.
01:20:32 - They flattened all four tires.
01:20:33 We could call the police.
01:20:40 - They'll never make it here on time.
01:20:42 - This is not your fault.
01:20:43 - Just saying that won't make it so.
01:20:45 - We can get back.
01:20:55 It'll be slow, but I can get us there.
01:20:58 - Gabby?
01:21:01 Gabby!
01:21:12 - Yeah, I had my day all planned.
01:21:13 Lock up meth heads,
01:21:16 drop by the dry cleaner,
01:21:19 bunch of Ticos.
01:21:21 And I got a special on Cabrito.
01:21:25 - No, life is full of disappointment.
01:21:28 - Especially when it ends abruptly.
01:21:29 You sure about this?
01:21:32 - No one else.
01:21:35 Just you, Javier.
01:21:36 It'll be easier that way.
01:21:41 - We don't have much time.
01:21:43 - We have 20 years.
01:21:44 - 20 years apart.
01:21:46 How do we survive that?
01:21:47 - Ask me that question tomorrow.
01:22:10 - Do you know the American phrase, famous last words?
01:22:12 - Zers, not ours.
01:22:15 - I will join you shortly.
01:22:19 Save the kill for me.
01:22:21 - D'accord.
01:22:22 - Allez, vite!
01:22:22 - Fred, definitely red.

01:26:17 I guess we're gonna have to finish this the old fashioned way.
01:26:20 - My fist, your face, or life.

01:27:21 - What the hell did you hit me for?
01:27:23 - I can handle myself.
01:27:25 - You're right you can handle yourself.
01:27:26 Who pulled you out of the ocean, Bermuda?
01:27:28 - Oh shut up, you know how that went.
01:27:30 - You were fighting, you was kicking your butt.
01:27:32 - Oh yeah, you deluded.
01:27:35 - Deluded?
01:27:36 - Deluded.
01:27:37 - I saw you in here on the floor when I came in.
01:27:38 - I got involved, both those guys are mine.
01:27:40 You didn't do anything.
01:27:42 (suspenseful music)
01:27:45 - She didn't come back.
01:27:50 Gabriella, she didn't come back to save us.
01:27:52 - We didn't need saving.
01:27:54 - She didn't know that.
01:27:56 - She'll forgive us, someday.
01:28:02 - Oh, what's another 20 years?
01:28:05 Desert stars didn't really grow everywhere.
01:28:10 - Let's find out.
01:28:12 (gunshot)
01:28:16 (suspenseful music)
01:28:19 - My men?
01:28:23 - Dead and conscious, I don't care which.
01:28:26 If they do all the work, I get to play.
01:28:29 - It's not fair, but I am management.
01:28:32 - Finish it.
01:28:33 - Oh I will, but I'm in no hurry.
01:28:36 From knee to elbow to lung to kidney,
01:28:41 each shot placed with great care.
01:28:45 This will be--
01:28:47 - Stay away from my mother, you bitch!
01:28:50 (upbeat music)
01:28:54 (punching)
01:28:56 - That's my girl.
01:29:15 - Now!

01:30:03 You're squeezing my flesh wound.
01:30:05 I always wanted to say that.
01:30:07 (phone ringing)
01:30:12 (suspenseful music)
01:30:18 (suspenseful music)
01:30:21 - Family.
01:30:22 It's all about family.
01:30:25 (punching)
01:30:30 (screaming)
01:30:32 (suspenseful music)
01:30:35 - Can we call the police now?
01:30:40 - Your timing keeps getting better, Superman.
01:30:42 (suspenseful music)
01:30:45 (punching)
01:30:47 (laughing)
01:30:49 - Chief, Chief, my parents!
01:30:55 - I know, I know.
01:30:56 Jose told me everything.
01:30:57 Where is he?
01:30:58 - He's down that way.
01:30:59 He's been shot.
01:31:00 - Okay, my car's down there.
01:31:01 Get on the radio, call for EMT stat.
01:31:03 I'll go check things out.
01:31:05 (sad music)
01:31:09 (gagging)
01:31:10 - You're squeezing my flesh wound again.
01:31:12 - This wasn't bad.
01:31:14 - What, the wound?
01:31:16 Or the fight?
01:31:17 - Well.
01:31:19 - Remember Marrakech?
01:31:23 I got shot in the lung and you had to carry me
01:31:24 five miles on your back?
01:31:26 - Yeah, in the desert, during a sandstorm.
01:31:29 - Or Paris in that bistro.
01:31:31 - The can-can dancer with the stilettos in her heels.
01:31:36 - She almost got you in the eye.
01:31:38 - And then her boss let his Rottweilers loose on us.
01:31:42 - Great times.
01:31:44 - With more to come.
01:31:49 - How do we?
01:31:55 - Stop wasting time.
01:32:10 - I'll say old friend,
01:32:12 you made quite a mess.
01:32:15 Now I'm gonna have to clean it up.
01:32:18 (gunshots)
01:32:20 - Stay back, it's too late.
01:32:25 (screaming)
01:32:27 - Let me go.
01:32:28 - Wait.
01:32:29 - This lady wasn't done.
01:32:33 She took your folks out before I could finish her.
01:32:37 There's nothing I can do.
01:32:40 - You, you're a part of this.
01:32:42 - Take her home.
01:32:44 There's nothing for her here.
01:32:46 Take her.

01:34:21 - They'll have to now.
01:34:23 (dramatic music)
01:34:26 - They didn't find it.
01:34:42 - What's that?
01:34:44 - The desert star.
01:34:47 I asked Father Diaz.
01:34:52 He looked everywhere, but it wasn't in the mission.
01:34:55 It wasn't with...
01:34:57 My mom.

01:35:26 you said,
01:35:29 look up into the stars,
01:35:32 that one of them shines for me.
01:35:35 But I never wanted the stars.
01:35:39 I wanted you.
01:35:41 Please Benito,
01:35:46 just a moment.
01:35:50 A moment is all I need.
01:35:52 - What are you doing here?
01:35:55 - Pay my last respects to a friend.
01:35:57 - Do you even know what that word means?
01:35:59 - Jose taught me.
01:36:00 I'd do anything for that man,
01:36:02 but I just didn't have the chance.
01:36:04 - Boo!
01:36:05 - Too bad I have to work today.
01:36:11 Nice day for a boat ride.
01:36:14 But life is tough,
01:36:17 and then you die.
01:36:19 I hope things work out better for you, Gabby.
01:36:23 - What did you want?
01:36:29 Hope a meteorite hits him.
01:36:38 I hope he gets torpedoed and his damn boat sinks.
01:36:41 - Nice day for a boat ride.
01:36:45 - What did you say?
01:36:46 - I hope he gets torpedoed.
01:36:48 - We'll head to Port Isabel tonight.
01:36:50 A friend of mine has a boat there.
01:36:52 - In his boat?
01:36:53 - Where else would he get torpedoed?
01:36:55 Gabby, what's wrong?
01:36:58 - Port Isabel.
01:37:00 Take me there.
01:37:02 Take me there now.
01:37:05 - Okay.
01:37:06 (dramatic music)
01:37:09 - Wait.
01:37:22 - It's okay.

01:38:24 Were they?
01:38:26 No.
01:38:28 So what's next?
01:38:33 What they wanted me to do. Live my life. Be safe. But there's no such thing as safe.
01:38:42 Well that depends. On where you are. Or who you're with.
01:38:50 Perfect timing.
01:39:00 You found the star. Where was it?
01:39:10 Hiding in plain sight.
01:39:13 Sometimes that's the best place to hide things.
01:39:16 Life is about loss and change. If you can handle one, the other won't matter.
01:39:25 But one thing will never change. How I feel about my mother and my father. And how they feel about me.
01:39:37 Desert stars didn't really grow everywhere.
01:39:40 Let's find out.

01:40:04 Never mind the good or bad, good or crime, glass wine I find.
01:40:29 Now I step out in the desert, running with a midnight train, calling every ghostly party, looking for someone to blame.
01:40:43 I'm all I wanna have to, don't care good or bad, good or crime, glass wine.
01:40:59 Gotta try, gotta try alone.
01:41:27 Gotta try, gotta try alone.
