Two questions:
any idea where

they were kept frozen that long?

And how does The Sultan send

women to their graves from a jail cell?

I'll try and think of anything

I might have heard

...Haddad say that would be useful to you.

Hello? Don't be long with those copies.

- There's your boyfriend, Juana.

- He's looking good.

I'll be home late.

No. Be back early. You've got to

rest up for tomorrow.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Did you find a job?

- Nothing so far.

I fall onto the assembly line,

then the hammer falls on my face.

You dreamt that last night?

I dreamt it while I was working.

I kept on going. Pull, wind, release.

I didn't close my eyes or skip a piece.

What you dream in 1 second,

takes 5 minutes to tell.

Really? Well, that must have been it...

You're laughing at me?

I'm just looking at you, Juana.

I brought this for you.

- We'll listen to it in your truck.

- All right.

Or at your place.

Are you all right?

There, there now.

That kata was the Cat.

Here goes the Dragon.

What?

Don't play dumb.

Well, I know my katas too.

For example, this is the kata of...

The kata of...

Kiss me?

We should talk to your father first.

He's in Cintalapala, Cutberto.

And he doesn't have a phone.

With Mrgara, then.

Why? She's my cousin, not my Ma,

may she rest in peace.

Cutberto...

What?

I want you to know... it doesn't

matter we're alone here,

without our parents.

This is serious for me, Juana.

Real serious.

For me too.

From General Electric,

from Toshiba, from esparza...

from Maderas Nacionales.

From Ford.

Women who worked at different plants.

The Cheros locked us up in basements.

All of them downtown, I think.

I met another four women.

- Were any there over 3 months?

- Nobody I met.

They call it Angel's Delight.

They rape you every day.

But they save the Delight...

for when they're going to kill you.

They tell you all about it.

During the final rape, they strangle you,

and then you really squeeze your sex tight

because you're about to die.

They raffle it off,

and whoever wins, enjoys.

Tell her to see me outside.

Write any names you remember.

What's up, Chief?

You helped the victim

and let the rapists get away.

- She was bleeding.

-Bleeding to death from her breast?

- I thought that...

- You didn't think, you felt!

That's why women make

good nurses and bad cops.

We'd have those f***ers and

she'd be in the hospital,

if you'd gone after them

instead of the victim.

- All right, I made a mistake.

- I'm taking you off the case.

All you've done is drive

around in the desert.

I'll release The Sultan for

lack of evidence.

We arrest him...

and the Cheros kidnap and kill women.

Like they had a deal.
