Good night. And I got to go home.

He's gone.

And the address he gave on the admission form was a fake.

One of the audiences, it used to be a nightclub near the slum.

It was our only hope.

Sister, there are all kinds of ways to find a person.

But why do you want this one so much? Is it a religious thing?

It's his blood.

Now, all we need is a pint or two.

His blood?

I've been in correspondence with some doctors in the States.

And they're trying to develop a cure for former childhood leukemia. But there's

an antibody they haven't been able to synthesize.

This man, he...

He had it right there in his blood.

I've never seen anything like it. You needed blood to cure people.

Just a little.

We can clone all the antibodies we need from a pint or two.

I know.

It must sound like science fiction.

But this process has been used for years in microbiology.

Well, let me get this straight. All you need is a pint or two of this guy's

blood? He won't even know it's gone.

No shooting?

No killing?

Oh, no.

Well, it's just what I always wanted.

G -rated, Kate.

No, señorita, I don't see anything. I don't hear anything.

Somebody just with their window and the manager doesn't see anything.

I should go back in and clean his watch.

What? You know, bang!

Oh, you mean clock.

Clean his clock.

Whichever.

Listen, it's a hotel.

The manager's that way because some of his customers want him to be blind and

deaf. You know what I mean?

Yeah. He won't tell us anything. We have a word for it in France.

We have a dozen words for it in English.

Well, the poor guy probably knew he couldn't pay his hospital bill, so he

phony name and address.

Well, it makes perfect sense, except for one little thing.

What's that?

This isn't a phony address.

It's a real place.

What are you saying?

Why didn't you just make up a street address?

Would have been easier.

I don't know, but I bet you do.

I'm working on it.

Perhaps I know.

You want to know the man from my hospital?

Are you looking for him, too?

Questions, questions, and we haven't even introduced ourselves.

Well, you first.

After you, I see.

Wait.

It's getting a little crazy here. You know, we don't want to cause any

We're just trying to help some sick kids, and this man, he might be able

Sick children, my dear.

We've only just met, and already you presume to insult my intelligence?

It's the truth.

Bad time, huh?

Senor, we understand each other.

These women are congenital liars.

So why don't you tell me who you are and what are you doing here?

Okay, it's like this. Tommy! Hey!

Don't you talk to me!

You've got another clip, don't you?

This is supposed to be the one we weren't going to shoot anybody,

What a way to go.

Lucky for you, we were just in a neighborhood.

Any idea who they were?

Why don't we ask?

When you talked about shooting and killing, I

thought you were joking.

We were.

Kind of.

But obviously this guy you're looking for has got some enemies.

And we've got to find him before they do. No, no, I've changed my mind. I'm

going on with this.

Look, sister, I understand how you feel.

All you're trying to do is help.

Now two men are dead, another's in critical care. And it's my fault.

But you might answer a question for me.

What?

How many kids die every year of this disease?

No!

He's not going to like this.

What's he saying?

He's delirious from the anesthesia.

He'll kill me.

He'll kill me.

Who?

Who is going to kill you?

Sister, there's going to be a priest coming.

Yes, I've sent for one.

There's many things I've done.

Terrible things.

Perhaps you can make up for them now.

How?

Do you know the name of the man who was hit by the car?

I do, but... Now is not the time to hold back.

The start.

And a finish.

Cesar.

Percodan?

Demerol?

Aspirin?

You bring me these dragster crap?

Any of you geniuses remember what business I'm in?

Get me some of the good stuff.

Sabito! Cesar.

Where are the others?

Dead.

They should have been more careful.

They knew they were going into a setup.

How else was I supposed to find out who was trying to kill me?

They screwed up, that's all.

Yeah.

So who was it?

DEA? Federales?

Colombians?

A man and three women.

Americans. Men and free women?

Sounds like affirmative action to me.

And you know what that means?

TA?

Have to have been.

They pay lip service to law and order, but they are not better than us.

So the big mystery is solved.

Looks that way.

Wait a minute, Sabito.

We still got some little mysteries to solve.

Like what?

Like who told the DEA I'd be at that hotel.

Don't know.

Maybe you and I can figure it out together.

Now, it had to be someone close to me, right?

Someone who knew when I'd be at the hotel.

Yeah. Yeah. Or maybe they were just lucky.

Yeah.

Lucky.

Like you.

Kind of.

What do you mean?

I mean, three men die and you walk away without a scratch?

That's lucky.

No. No? Is that what you're saying?

It's not luck?

Good, because I don't think it was luck either.

Take him out.

Hmm Now I feel better

Bye.

Um, margarita, please.

Make it two.

Hello, Henry.

How are things at the agency?

Oh, just fine.

How are things in your bedroom?

No complaints.

Now, don't be coy. That's my job.

Don't you want to know why I'm being coy?

No.

It's because I know something you want to know.

I doubt that.

I'm not impressed.

Somebody probably told you I was looking, and I thought you knew.

Oh, yeah?

What about this, then?

His real name is Juan Antonio Morales.

Brothers, Jose Antonio.

Jive with what you know?

Yeah. But every punk in the street knows that.

All right.

Caesar's just a nickname, like boss.

Her king.

Picked it up in the drug trade.

Am I doing better?

A little.

Now it's your turn.

What do you want with Caesar?

Well, I need two pints of his blood for a medical research.

Hey, you don't want to tell me, you don't have to, but I'm not going to say

anything else either.

Henry, you've been a spy so long, you don't know the truth when it bites you.

Now, what else do you want to tell me?

Just stay away from him.

That's all.

He's that dangerous?

No.

We are. Well, what do you mean?

When I tell you to stay away from this guy, you gotta trust me.

Because tomorrow at breakfast time,

Caesar's gonna be the toast.

The agency's gonna kill him?

It's a drug war.

If you're anywhere near the airstrip tomorrow, you'll be the jam on Caesar's

toast.

You're giving me a lot to think about, Henry.

Now, would you mind taking your hand out of my dress?

Here's another airstrip.

How many does that make?

Two, four, six.

Couldn't you have gotten him to tell you which airstrip?

Now that would have taken me beyond the call.

Way beyond.

I'm telling you, you're going about this the wrong way.

Oh.

Well, enlighten us.

This is the register of landowners.

Juan Antonio Morales.

It's a place.

Well,

how are we going to handle this?

You stay in the car.

We are less threatening.

Little do they know.

Then what?

Simple. We'll tell them the truth.

Good luck with that.

How do people say...

Honesty is the best poverty.

Policy? Yes.

Hey, I'm not threatening.

Good morning. We're here to see Senor Morales.

It's a matter of great urgency.

Well, not much for honesty.

What would you like to try next? A little white lie or... Outright to see.

Is that why that's in the car?

Señor, we're being followed.

Lose them.

See, I told you, you should have got a BA.

Look, this is the only airport in this direction.

Okay.

That's him.

Two years I haven't seen him.

Since before my mother died.

They wouldn't let him out for the funeral.

Do it.

He hasn't changed.

One more hour down.

One to go come on

You'd rather be out there with your friends, wouldn't you?

Is that how it is, huh?

Well, it doesn't take a detective.

I'm very grateful for their concern for me.

I don't think it was just you they were concerned about.

How's he doing?

Not too good.

How much farther?

Miles.

Hey, uh, think you could talk to your pal Henry, kind of explain things?

Oh, you got a control.

I mean, the whole operation is.

You'll think they're John Wayne.

Yes, and we have the Indians.

Hey,

did you hear that?

I think they're gaining on us.

Tommy, take him for a sec.

Come on.

Look, look.

Could be around here somewhere.

Okay, you guys hold up.

Let's see if I can't find any more of those friendlies.

I know who you are now.

You do?

You're an angel.

Look, if we don't keep moving, we're going to end up being one.

We'll follow the river.

I'll catch up with you guys on the flip side.

Can you get us to a hospital?

We've got a sick man.

Sure. Get in the back.

My God.

I don't feel comfortable in hospitals.

People die there.

Now throw your guns away.

Listen, there's something we need to talk to you about. There's something I

to talk to you about.

Now throw them away and get in.

Hey, just relax, Pops. Put your hand where you can see him and your eyes

forward. You'll be okay.

Vámonos. Sí, señor.

All right.

No, you are not DEA.

Because if you were, I'd be dead.

And for the same reason, you can't be CIA either.

So who the hell are you?

Well, it's a long, long story.

And they trust me with some kinds of assignments, but not others.

Well, I'm sure they have their reasons.

They're underestimating me, that's all.

I've had the best teachers in the world.

Them.

Go ahead.

Have some.

It's my way of apologizing.

All along you were doing God's work.

Sometimes it happens that way. Yes.

But imagine me doing God's work too.

Me. A worthless street kid from Tijuana.

That's how I got all this, you know. Trying to prove I meant something.

But now, I find out that I was special from the day I was born.

And it was right here in my veins.

That nun who you told me about?

The one who hired you?

Have her come over now.

You've lost a lot of blood, you know.

Maybe you should wait a while.

Ladies, as you've seen, I have many enemies.

If the sister waits a day or two, who knows what'll happen?

Call.

And tell her to come by herself.

I don't like strangers.

So, Caesar, now you're doing God's work.

How do you feel about your other work?

You're saying I should leave it?

It's up to you.

No, it's not.

A lot of people hate me, and if I gave this up, I'd be too easy a target for

them.

Besides, what else am I free to do?

She'll be here in an hour.

Good.

Look him up.

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you crazy?

Maybe, but I'm not a fool like you.

I'm going to meet this nun of yours on my terms and find out what she really

wants from me.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you and your friends have done so

much.

I don't think we're done yet, sister.

Better mention it at your next confession This

is what we get for helping people yep, no good deed

goes unpunished I Know I was going to say that I was

Welcome

sister

But you were supposed to come alone.

I can't drive.

May I please take your blood now?

Don't be in such a hurry.

Why don't you show me what's in the case?

It's authentic enough.

It is authentic.

Miros!

Can she start now?

If you put a tiny drop of some chemical on them, well, just a little virus,

boom, I'm dead.

You may sterilize the instruments yourself if you like. Then there is this

-point thing.

Why if you take more?

Well, I've got eight.

Isn't that right?

Yes. The average is eight, but you don't need all that.

There were people been trying to kill me lately.

I need all I have.

Please believe me, we are not trying to kill you.

But if it would make you feel more secure, why don't you have your own

draw the blood?

Someone you trust.

Haven't you been listening?

There's nobody I trust!

Nobody!

All of you, out of here!

Not you, sister.

You know, I didn't believe you at first.

Everyone lies to me.

But this is crazy not to be true.

It is true.

No. No, I'm not going to do it.

It's so little we're asking.

You steal more than anyone's ever done for me.

Maybe there was some money in it.

You aren't even human.

You want me to show you how human I am?

What? Everything I have.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

That's how I got my start.

Do you think it's the cavalry?

Wouldn't bet on it.

Don't fall.

Good.

A portrait in China portrait.

It is mine.

Bulletproof. Fireproof.

Garnitone air.

Water. Food too.

Best of all.

Well, we better get to him before they do.

You're all you want, idiots!

Your friend saved us.

You know, I could hold out in here for

days. But all you want is a little bit of my blood, right?

Right.

Still, I think you should get something out of this, sister.

Don't you have any decency in you?

Whatever there is, it's in my blood.

Come on.

For the children.

Not that much.

God

forgive

me.

Wait till after we take his blood and make it a package deal.

It'll take a lot of control to stop at two pints.

We couldn't ask for that much forgiveness, could we?

Well, you found religion?

We got enough.

Enough what?

Blood. We have the two pints and it's more than enough.

What about Cesar?

He's resting.

He'll be all right.

What do we do about him?

Leave him here.

Kat can call her friend.

Henry and Hugh can do a clean -up.

That's cold.

I like it.

We should all pray for Cesar.

You need a lot more than that.

Hey.

Wait, are you feeling any better?

A little guilty. We shouldn't.

There's our discipline to eat a cell, not from giving blood.

And think of all the glue that came out of it.

Yeah, and all the people you've benefited.

I know, I know.

But back in Iowa, we could think simpler.

You stole blood in Iowa?

Oh, yeah.

All the time?

Well, not always.

Just sometimes at midnight when there was a full moon.

People blow?

What is she talking about?

I love something in the translation.

She's saying she's a vampire.

It's true.

I believe her. She wouldn't lie.

Okay, Joanna.

Make like a bat.

Hit lot.
