No, I...

I don't remember that.

Hmm. You were too young.

Plus, he would never

point the finger at you...

because you're a

natural-born leader.

And you look like him.

You got his looks, I

got his crooked finger.

We're next, Gabby.

You be careful.

We'll figure it out.

(Pharmacy Clerk) You're

missing five pesos.

(Mary) Impossible.

l-l counted.

Con permiso.

Jaime.

(Jaime) Hi.

Como esta.

Good, good.

Good.

So, still no more beer?

No, no, no.

Water's good.

How about a girl?

Please.

I'm too old for that.

You know what I'm looking for.

About the lady in

question, any luck?

She's in the bathroom.

She's here?

Fantastic.

I'll go get her

for you right now.

Okay.

Mary.

This is Mary.

Encantata.

Nice to meet you.

Sit down.

Would you like a drink?

Sure.

Um, tequila, por favor.

So, Jaime tells me that

you used to work here.

Oh, uh, a-a while ago.

No.

Well, this would've been...

quite a while ago.

I'm talking 20 years ago.

So long ago.

I was just a girl.

Gracias.

Just trying to out-- find

out some information about,

um, an old friend.

What would make you think I

would know somebody for so long?

Ver-- Veronica.

Her name was Veronica.

Crystal was her working name.

Does that ring a bell?

She had dark hair,

medium height.

She was here for...

years.

Like I said, 20 years ago

I was just... a little girl.

Jaime said you

were going to pay.

I came all the way

down here for...

Relax. I'm going to pay you.

you're so young.

What do you do, Carlos?

I'm, uh...

retired.

(Mary) Did-- did you want

to go back to your hotel?

Or, um...

there's a decent place.

Close.

Oh, no, that's really...

that's not necessary.

It's very late for me.

Yes, yes. Of course.

It's not you.

You-- you're very beautiful.

It's um...

nice to meet you.

Bye.

Good night.

Carlos?

I know her.

Veronica... Crystal?

She died...

over ten years ago.

I knew that.

We were close...

friends.

It didn't seem right

not to tell you.

I'm sorry.

Do you know anything

about her children?

She only had one.

Isabelle.

Isabelle.

Is there any way that you might

be able to help me find her?

I... I don't know.

Why do you want to find her?

It's, uh... personal

reasons. Uh...

it would mean a...

the world to me.

Okay. Uh, I'll try.

How long you gonna

be around for?

Uh, not very long, actually.

Okay.

Thank you.

Oh, and by the way,

my name is Charlie.

Okay, Charlie.

Thank you so much.

What you doing, man? You supposed to

be on vacation.

What?
