And I'm not.

I'm not gonna make it.

Look, I should just forget

about all of this, right?

Get in the truck and go

and wrap my arms around my little girl.

You need to do

what you gotta do.

Being a father's the most

important job in the world.

Your daughter needs you.

All these girls

have a father that loved them, too.

So if you're hearing

a little voice that's telling you to stay,

that there's

a larger hand at play here,

then you might wanna

listen to that voice.

I'm not hearing any

magic voice, Dale.

It's there.

You're just not listening.

Yet.

Get that truck off my lot!

Refill, hon?

Sure.

- Good morning, Officer.

- Julie.

- Coffee?

- Yes, ma'am.

Can I help you?

Yeah.

There's, um, something

going on around here.

What's the problem?

There's a motel.

Motel 12.

There's prostitution happening.

Well, that's, uh, serious, son.

How do you know this?

I saw it.

Just saw it?

Yes.

All right.

- Motel 12, you say?

- Mmm-hmm.

Uh, and what's your name?

- James.

- James.

Last name?

Just James.

How do I, uh,

get a hold of you if I have any questions?

I'm over at

the Hiway House Motel.

- Thanks, Julie.

- Here you go.

All right.

Well, thank you

for the information.

Mind if I eat?

Of course.

- Huh?

- No, gracias.

I went to the

trouble of making you a drink,

and the least you could do

is try it for me.

Por favor.

Maybe it's acquired taste.

Drink. Drink.

Yeah?

- Where is Maria?

- Maria.

Maria is with the other girls

making friends because it's time.

Of course.

It's time for you, too.

And I can be

your friend, but, um...

But my friendship

comes at a cost.

Okay?

It's okay.

This is not right.

I cannot do this.

I am not supposed to be here.

You play a game with me?

A juego?

No, no juego. No.

I will...

I will work to earn back

every penny that I owe.

But not like this.

You have my word,

but not like this, please.

Every girl in this house

wants to be on this bed.

Mmm-hmm.

But I don't want

the other girls in this house.

I want you. Why?

Because I try to love you.

- This is not love!

- No?

This is not what

love looks like.

Then you choose what

love looks like, okay?

You decide.

I will have you and Maria.

- No.

- No?

- CJ! Bring Maria, por favor!

-She's just a girl!

Please!

- No! No!

- S.

No, no, no.

Por favor! Por favor!

Don't touch her!

Garo, you said it is my choice.

- S.

-Take me.

I want to.

Are you saying...

I want to.

It is my choice.

Let her go.

Let her go.

- Maria.

- Let her go.

ndale, Maria.

It is okay.

Hello?

You looking for someone

to party with or what?

Yeah, yeah.

Um, her name's Antonia.

Yeah, man, just tell me
