I was there to help him.

I was trying to protect him,

but he wouldn't listen to me.

He was not a great listener, your father.

I'll tell you everything I know

when you get in the car.

Will. Come on.

Do you want to save your family?

Because there's an expiration date on that.

Come on, Will.

So who was your father dealing with

about your family?

Who was his contact?

I thought you said

you were gonna do the talking.

If I'm going to help you,

I have to figure out who I'm dealing with.

Did he call anyone? Did he meet anyone?

- Are you all right?

- I think I'm gonna be sick.

- Really?

- Really.

Pull over.

Better?

All right, kid, come on. Let's go.

Senor!

You little...

Forget him.

Come on, let's go.

We'll just get the other one first.

Hey! Get away from there!

Get away from there!

What?

Don't do this to me. Seriously.

Please. I'm...

Thank you.

Yes?

Hello? Are you... Hello?

Tell your son I want to speak to Tom.

- Will?

- Mom!

Mom, are you okay?

Put your father on the phone.

I need to speak to him now.

Mom,

you can't.

Just put him on the phone.

Mom, I can't put him on the phone.

Will, just do as I say.

Mom, I can't.

Where is he?

Mom, they've killed him.

No! No!

Hey! Hey! Calm down.

Tom and I had an agreement.

My briefcase or your family's dead.

Listen, I don't know anything about

your suitcase or briefcase or anything.

Just let my family go.

- This is not going to buy any more time.

- What?

Remind Tom what is at stake.

Look, my dad is dead

and his name was Martin.

You've got the wrong guy.

Tell Tom. 6:
00 pm. Puerta del Sol.

My briefcase or your family's dead.

Hello. Do you speak any English?

A little bit. How can I help you?

My name is Will Shaw.

I'm just looking for Diego.

He was a friend of my father's.

Can you give me your address, please?

Yes.

Cruz Street.

Hi.

Hi, how are you?

What can I do for you?

- We spoke on the phone.

- Mmm-hmm.

You gave me the directions here.

Mmm-hmm.

Can I help you?

I need to speak to Diego Caldera.

Hey, Will. You feeling better now?

Whoa! Whoa!

Put the gun down! Put the gun down!

Put the gun down!

I only speak goddamn English!

You want to kill my uncle!

Who the hell is your uncle?

Is Diego Caldera your uncle?

Yeah. This cabron comes

in here with a gun

and tells me to sit down and shut up,

waiting for my uncle to come in.

This guy's friends

murdered my father this morning.

Your father was murdered?

That's why I'm here.

My dad called this office

at least a dozen times looking for Diego.

- Where is your uncle then?

- What?

Look, okay? This guy,

his people came looking

here for your uncle.

Where are they going to look next?
