- [lighter flicks] - [flame blazes]

We don't get many strangers around here.

And you are a lady.

It can be quite dangerous.

[woman laughs]

I mean, look around.

These people are not exactly bankers and doctors.

When I was a boy, San Lucas was peaceful.

But then the cartels came and destroyed everything.

- [thunder rumbling outside] - [man laughing]

It is a sad thing when you only have memories left to save.

[belt clinks]

Why don't you stay a while?

I will make coffee and arepa for breakfast.

The eggs are fresh, right from the chicken.

You know where I can buy a car?

Yeah, the body shop in town.

They will have something.

- [lighter flicks] - Mm.

Cash only, of course.

How did you get here?

It's a long story.

I had a good time last night.

And you?

Yeah.

[in Ukrainian]

[phone rings]

[Julio speaking Spanish]

[phone thuds]

[in English] Sorry. I have to go to work.

There was a small plane shot down by the local cartel.

Can you drop me off in town?

The police station is in the opposite direction.

I will be back maybe in a couple of hours

and will take you.

Please, just make yourself comfortable.

The TV works, there is food in the fridge.

Mm.

The faucet and the toilet doesn't work.

If you need to go, you can use the one in the house.

Who lives there?

My sister, Paulina, and her kids.

Her husband... passed away one year ago,

so I have been living here temporarily to help out.

You know...

I don't even know your name.

After all...

we did make love last night.

Is that what you call it?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

In Spanish it's "hacer el amor."

Hmm.

Dominique.

Dominique.

Nice. Nice.

- I'm... - Officer Peron.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you call me Julio.

[in Spanish]

[in English] You were-- You were badly dehydrated.

The wound in your head become infected.

You're lucky to be alive.

I've seen many gunshot wounds.

Was the bullet removed or is it still...

[in Spanish]

[in English] I'm leaving you antibiotics

that should kill the infection.

[Paulina in Spanish]

[in English] He's a good doctor.

Where is my bag?

I have it.

Get it.

Don't worry, your money is safe.

Breakfast will be ready soon.

You're welcome to join us, if you want.

[cumbia music plays]

[in Spanish]

[laughs] No.

[Paulina and Abril chattering]

- Uh-huh. - [chattering continues]

[in English] Well! The sleeping beauty awakes.

Come, come, sit down.

Join us.

Please, you have to eat.

[in Spanish]

[in English] How are you feeling?

I'm alive.

[wheels squeak]

[in Spanish]

[in English] She's not stupid, tortalin.

Everybody knows what ají is, right?

Even in Estados Unidos.

Yeah, but...

she's not from America.

- Are you? - No.

Really? Where are you from?

I bet some place exotic.

Like France or Germany or...

Rusia?

Ukraine.

[Julio] Mm.

Ucrania.

Where you find the most beautiful señoritas in the world.

Además de Colombia, of course.

[in Spanish]

[in English] I never asked you.

How you came to be in San Lucas?

Well...

I always liked to travel and, uh...

I met a man of my dream.

He offered to show me around Colombia,

and the next thing I know, I am waking up in a hotel and stuck with the bill.

[utensils clinking]

[in Spanish]

- Papa! - [kids laugh]

[in English] Oh, I'm sorry. He says you like spicy food.

I don't know, I cannot taste much of anything lately.

Hey, we're having my birthday party tonight.

And I would love for you to come.

And then you can meet my boyfriend, Anso.

- [in Spanish] - [sighs]

- [overlapping shouting] - [kids screaming]

[clinks]

[in English] Look, I need to go.

Can you give me a ride into town?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

[phone rings]

I'm sorry.

Hello?

[speaking Spanish]

[Paulina asks]

[in English] I'm sorry, I have to go to the station.

If you can wait until I get back.

No, don't worry, I will take her.

- I'm going to town. - Okay.

[in Spanish]

[kisses]

[chuckles]

[Paulina speaking]

["Fuiste Todo Para Mi" by Juan Castaño playing]

[in English] She ever talk?

No.

She hasn't spoken a word since my husband died.

He had a heart attack at the dinner table.

He gave her that rabbit.

Do you have any kids?

Hell, no.

[Paulina] So, what do you think of San Lucas?

I've seen worse.

[Paulina] Growing up, my brother hated it here,

but he got out the first chance he could

and took a job with the policía in Bogotá.

Had everything a man could want,

a good life.

How did they die?

He told you about his wife and son?

No, I saw his shrine.

My brother has strong beliefs.

He would never take a bribe.

One day, his home was targeted in a drive-by shooting.

His wife and son were killed, but he survived.

Later, Julio found out the men responsible

were officers that he believed were his friends.

I can relate.

- [thuds] - [coughs]

Please stop!

[coughs, whimpers]

Please. Stop.

We didn't do anything. Why are you doing this?

Just let us go.

You should consider yourself lucky

that you are in our custody, amigo.

'Cause if the De La Cruz Cartel caught up with you,

we'd be looking for your head right now.

- [coughs] - So, speak.

Speak up!

Speak!

- [whimpers] - [coughs]

[Santiago in English] Hitchhiking.

It's a dangerous way to get around in our country,

especially for tourists.

You should watch the news.

[whimpers]

You know who I am?

I'm the chief of police of San Lucas,

and out here, the sheriff is the law.

One of the men you killed was my brother-in-law, Hector.

No, no, no, man. We didn't hurt anybody.

You gotta believe me. Listen, we're just backpacking,

just looking to have a good time.

A good time, huh?

Okay. Okay.

[in Spanish]

[whimpers]

[in English] No, no, wait... Wait, no, no, wait.

No!

What are you doing? Stop!

Are you the pilot?

What? No, there's no pilot. What are you talking about?

And your companion, he's not the pilot?

- No! No! - Then who flew the plane?

There's no plane, man. Listen, you got the wrong guys, all right? Would you--

Please just let him go!

Maybe there's another one of you hiding somewhere.

- [chain clinks] - [groans]

Or maybe...

- Oh, no... no... [groans] - Maybe you should tell me the truth.

And save your own skin.

'Cause it's too late for your friend.

[whimpers]

[Santiago] He's about to get clean...

down to the bone.

No...

[in Spanish]

[whimpers]

[in English] No, no, no, no, no, no.

[speaking Spanish]

[screams]

[birds chirping]

[in Spanish]

[in English] How much for this one?

[in Spanish]

[in English] He can't sell it, needs a new head gasket.

It's very expensive and takes a lot of time.

How much time?

[in Spanish]

[in English] Three, four days. Maybe more.

Ten thousand, 24 hours.

[in Spanish]

[in English] Okay, okay. No problem.

The rest tomorrow. And it better run like new.

What does it matter?

You help me and I just saved your asses.

One time is all you get, so we're even.

No, Dominique! Where is she going?

Dominique, wait!

Abril! Abril, ¿dónde vas?!

Dominique! Dominique! Wait! Please!

What do you want?

If you leave, we'll die!

So pack your things and get out.

- We have nowhere to go. - Well, you can't stay here.

They'll come back and burn the place down.

No. My mother can't walk and my grandfather, he's...

Look, you want the truth?

Take your brother and sister and get the fuck out of here.

Your mother will only slow you down,

and your grandfather?

Well, he will be happy to go out in a blaze of glory.

I'm not gonna leave them! I will stay and fight.

And if I die, I die.

You know, I said you were somebody special.

But you're just a cold heartless bitch

who's lost and can't find her purpose in the world.

You're walking, but you might as well be dead.

Are you ready for this?

Yes.

[in English] One unspent mag for the AK...

That's it.

That's not much.

Don't touch that.

I found this in the car.

This is good.

Hey... [pants] Someone's outside.

[foreboding music plays]

I had to see you with my own eyes.

Now that you have seen me,

what's next?

We make a deal.

I am Santiago, the chief of police.

I'm alone, but my officers are not far.

They blocked both sides of the road.

There's no way out.

You know, no matter how good you are,

you can't save this family.

They will die sooner or later.

You don't need to kill them. I have what you want.

The laptop.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, give it to me, and I will spare you all.

No.

You give us safe passage,

and once we are in the clear,

I'll tell you where it is.

That is a risk I'm not willing to take.

I think it might be easier to come back with more men and kill you all.

The next town is 20 miles from here.

There's nowhere to run

and nowhere to hide.

And what about that pregnant woman, Paulina?

Even if you escape on foot, she won't make it far.

What about the old man in the wheelchair, huh?

Come on, give it to me...

and I will let you,

and only you, walk away alive.

You have my word as a gentleman.

And miss all the fun?

- [gun clacks] - I'd rather stick around.

Okay, have it your way.

[Paulina in Spanish]

[in English] Who is she talking to?

Doctor Medina.

[sniffles, sobs]

- Can you trust him? - Yes, of course.

[in Spanish]

[sobs]

[in English] Here is the situation.

If they're going to live to see another day,

you will do exactly as I say.

[speaks Spanish]

[in English] I will do anything for Paulina and the children.

These men are police,

and they control every road into town

so we have to escape on foot.

If I can get them past the roadblocks,

can you be ready to pick them up?

[speaks Spanish]

[in English] I'm just a mile north,

but the police are everywhere.

Even if you can get to me,

there's a good chance we will be stopped.

You're a doctor.

- Can you get an ambulance? - Yes.

I-in the hospital in Bogotá.

But it's four hours away. [in Spanish]

[in English] You can take the family north through the countryside.

There's a trail that will take you to the mountaintop

where there's a road.

I can meet you there.

Yes, I know where it is. It-it takes about half a day,

but it will be so hard for us to go at night,

especially with my grandfather.

[Dominique] Fine. We will do our best to survive the night

and leave shortly after dawn.

Keep your phone on.

Okay, we have two hours before dark and they will be coming.

So we need to get ready.

What do we have to do?

Good.

First, we need to secure the house.

[sighs]

Okay. We have to seal all the windows.

Do you have tools? Hammers, nails, wood?

Yes, in the shed out back.

Is this the only panel for the house?

I think so.

How do I use it?

You don't need to know. You just listen.

- When I do that... - [three clicks]

...it means get ready.

After three clicks, the next thing you will hear is...

[two clicks]

- Two clicks? - Two clicks.

Two clicks and you flip this breaker on.

- [clanks] - [electricity buzzes]

[tense music intensifies]

[speaks Spanish]

[in English] I-I don't understand.

If I turn on the lights, won't they see you?

Not if I'm hidden.

It takes about ten minutes for the human eye

to adjust from bright light to darkness.

After exposure, they wouldn't be able to see me.

Which is when I strike.

How many times I will do it?

As many times as it takes.

[in Spanish]

[officers shout]

- [insects trilling] - [exhales]

[in English] Dominique, wait! I-I don't wanna leave her.

You aren't. I want you to hide here.

Okay.

Men will come this way,

but you don't shoot, you don't move, you don't breathe

unless they try to get to her.

What if they do?

You kill as many as you can.

[in Spanish]

[tense music playing]

[Dominique in English] Okay, it's time.

It doesn't change a thing.

Pronto, to the baño, now.

[John over video] We didn't hurt anybody. You gotta believe me.

Listen, we're just backpacking.

Just looking to have a good time.

[Santiago] A good time, huh?

[Paulina muttering]

[Paulina kisses, mutters]

Who is he?

A pilot.

A friend.

We planned to go to Parque Tayrona together, but he was killed.

Why Parque Tayrona?

He'd been there many times,

said it was a magical place

where we can escape the mistakes of our past

and begin a new life.

Like a phoenix?

I saw your tattoo.

They say a phoenix dies by catching fire.

Then is reborn in its own ashes. It can never die.

It's just a nickname for being lucky.

Lucky?

Like last night.

I see.

And who gave you this nickname?

The man who raised me and taught me everything I know.

A man you wouldn't want to cross.

You know,

my Uncle Pepe lives in the Tayrona.

He used to live a life with the gangs and the drugs.

But after his wife died from cancer, he found God.

Now he's a priest at the church of Santa Lucia.

When you get there, you should pay him a visit.

Tell him what you have done for me and my children.

I just hate seeing good people die for nothing.
