Post by bunniefuu »

She looks at me,

no shame in her face, and says,

"Oh, that Chofi just wants a sugar daddy."

-Imagine that.

-Pastries! Jellies! Flans!

-Psst, psst, psst.

-Jellies.

-What's wrong? Are you dizzy?

-Sorry, I skipped breakfast.

We need alcohol!

WE WERE KINGS

MOM CALLING

When you gonna return her calls?

She's gotta be real worried.

Mm.

Listen, Heidi,

a lot of times, we really don't know

how to watch over and care for our own.

We become adversaries instead.

But Nora loves you, princesa.

Don't forget that.

Lately, my mom's been real rude.

And not just with you.

I got no one to speak to, Malena.

And, if you want me to be honest,

it's been extremely difficult.

And,

well, I wanted to know if maybe

you had any advice to share.

I mean, unless it's advice

on how to screw up your life,

then I don't know

if I can help you at all, Heidi.

About how to raise a child alone.

I wanna tell you a story, Heidi.

But I'm not sure you'll understand.

I understand

more than you think.

Promise me you won't say

anything to anyone?

Hm.

I'm pregnant.

That's beautiful.

Truth is, Heidi,

I don't even know if I'm gonna have it.

And my brother?

You don't want him to know?

Don't you love Javo?

I love Javo.

That's the problem.

I love him more than I thought.

Truth is I'm 40 years old,

and before I even realize it,

I'm living with a 23-year-old.

That I had no plans to be with

or even start a family.

If there's love, that doesn't matter.

It's not that simple.

Male,

I think that whatever you decide,

Javo should know about it.

The f*cking paraffin test.

Or m*therf*cking ballistics.

That would've set everything straight.

I'm a moron.

Nah. You're not a moron, Reyes. Hm.

You may've unintentionally played dumb,

which ain't the same thing.

Arresting Javo ain't gonna revive Santos.

And besides, man, how'd your mom

Doña Herminia,

or Heidi take it?

The people who love him.

Also, man, you're forgetting

the most important thing.

There's no proof that if was really Javo.

With Taiguer's BS I can play dumb.

He f*cking stole a car, and that's that.

It was a clean theft. Nobody got hurt.

But this, I can't.

I'm done letting him

get his way every time.

There's only two truths here, Mike.

One,

what everyone out there knows,

what they think is true.

What we think really happened

is the other.

There are many unresolved cases, Mike.

And this one is already closed.

Oh, honey thank God you made it.

You've gotta help me to find your brother.

Alright, Abuela. Calm down.

He was taken to the station earlier

in a patrol car.

Okay, listen, it's fine.

I sent those officers.

So you mean you sent those officers

to book your own brother?

Uh

Well, uh, technically,

we didn't book anyone

Oh, my God, Miguelito, seriously.

I don't know how you can do that.

You were just joined at the hip

when you were little and

I know it's hard

to justify the kidnapping,

but it wasn't his fault, Mike.

What did you say?

What kidnapping?

Well, um the one involving Alicia.

Javo took Doña Alicia?!

Oh, no.

O-okay. Y-you gotta tell me

everything immediately.

Promise that if I tell you,

you will not hurt your brother.

Answer me, please. Please, honey.

Fercho and I have been kidnapped!

That was g*nf*re.

-Yes.

-Is Doña Alicia doing fine?

Javo says that she survived, but

who knows how much more

of all of this she can take.

All right.

You suggest that I help Javo

rescue Doña Alicia

without the police finding out or my mom?

None of this is Javo's fault.

He was forced. They pushed

and threatened to hurt the whole family.

"None of this is Javo's fault."

Seriously, when's this guy

gonna be at fault for anything?

You want me to break the oath I took,

jeopardize my career,

and put myself in prison

so your favorite grandson's

let off the hook?

He'd do the same for you, Mike.

Yes, Mama. Yes,

we're both being looked after real well.

I'm waiting for you.

I miss you.

I gotta go now, okay? Food's being served.

-Food's being served?

-Mm-hm.

Who's serving?

Everything alright, princesa?

Thanks.

These beans

aren't as good as your mom's,

but they're made

with the same love, guaranteed.

-Enjoy your meal.

-Thanks, you too.

-Javo?

-Flaca.

What you doing?

Nothing,

just looking at some sprays.

I wanna show you something, flaca.

It's beautiful, Javo.

This brain of mine

isn't good for many things.

But I promise it remembers

every little thing about you.

THANKS FOR THE MIRACLES

I love you. You know that, right?

You can feel it, right?

And you?

I hate you.

I hate not being able to hate you.

That's crazy, because I just love you.

Yeah? Say it to me louder.

I love you.

-I wanna hear you say it to me louder.

-Uh-huh?

I love you, chinga!

THE TIGER

SCRAPYARD

No mames!

Where'd you get this from?

They're not real.

Got those from Zacarías.

This whole thing is crazy, Javo.

You're gonna get m*rder*d.

Well, I promised my abuela, but if you

wanna bail, it's fine, tío, I understand.

Well, I also made my promises.

I promised your father

that I'd look after you.

Well, perfect. Yours is right there.

Only use it if sh*t goes south.

Eyes peeled.

Two days ago,

there was a sh**ting on this street.

Did you see or hear anything?

Thank you.

Some folks heard some g*nshots

a couple of days ago round here.

-Some g*nshots?

-Mm-hm.

I dunno.

Police! Hands up

where I can see them!

-Went right through me.

-Stay with me, tío.

Hang in there. Okay?

Hey! Police!

Tío! Taiguer!

Hey, that's my uncle, man!

Tío! You're okay.

Taiguer! Taiguer!

Javo?!

-We gotta go to a hospital.

-Yes.

My car's over there, let's go! Here.

It's okay, Taiguer. It's all right.

It's all right. Come on! Come on! Come on!

Be honest with me.

How much time does she have left?

Sir, sorry to interrupt.

The f*ck you doing here, Pitbull? Aren't

you supposed to be cleaning the house?

Yeah, boss, but, see, that's why I'm here.

Some sh*t went down at the safe house.

Some pigs arrived there.

I bet it was her f*cking daughter.

Automatic transmissions

for national or international cars.

My Dear Tío Taiguer.

I left you some fresh coffee,

and I also cleaned the bathroom,

so that you can shower more often. Ha, ha.

Just kidding.

But seriously, though,

you can have your bed back now

so you can actually sleep.

Like I promised, I'm going back to school,

and then I'll go see my mom.

Code nine, Ortega.

g*nsh*t wound, in critical condition.

It's my uncle, man.

I'm going to the hospital right now.

Let's meet there!

I'll never forget

what you've done for me, tío.

From hosting me in your little tree house,

to all the incredible things

you shared with me.

Hope you don't mind me

tidying up your place a little.

It's the least I could do to thank you.

I ain't getting to no hospital!

Stop the car now!

Don't worry about me.

I'll be fine.

I promise to visit you often

with little Santos.

Don't you dare, m*therf*cker!

Let's go to the hospital!

No! What hospital?

-Not getting outta this one.

-We can't go to a hospital.

What are we gonna say?

I don't give a f*ck if you go to prison

for being a kidnapper!

Love you lots,

Heidi.

Take me take me to my shop right now.

That's where I wanna die.

Miguel Ángel,

I need you to listen to me, son, okay?

-There's no way I'll make it.

-No, no.

You two have the chance

the chance to work things out.

Don't make the

the same mistakes we made.

Who is "we", Taiguer?

My brother, Miguel Ángel, and I.

Miguel Ángel

You gotta listen to me, okay?

You have to You have to help your brother

rescue Doña Alicia, alright?

Why me? Why don't you tell Javo

to fix his sh*t?

Because I got no authority

over Javo, Mike.

But I do over you.

Be because you are my son, Miguel.

Taiguer.

Taiguer!

-No, Taiguer, no.

-Taiguer!

Mi amor, my little one, my darling.

Oh, I missed you, mi amorcito.

My little cutie pie. Little angel.

Forgive me, mi'ja.

Please, forgive me.

Heidi, tell me where you've been

the last few days.

With my tío.

With my brother? All the way there?

No, with El Taiguer.

What do you mean with Taiguer?

-With that criminal?

-Ay, Mamá, what's wrong with you?

Nothing's wrong. He is a criminal.

He cooked for us

and gave us a bed to sleep on, you know?

And, well, besides,

we we talked about, well, life, and

he taught me a lot every day.

Like what?

To open strangers' cars?

No, Mamá.

Like that I can't just leave. For you.

For Santitos.

Especially for myself.

Pursue school and all.

So, yeah. The reason I'm back is tío.

What is it?

I'm sorry about your Tío Taiguer, carnal.

Was a beast of a man.

I'll speak to the Cap

and take care of everything

so you and your brother

are not implicated.

THE TIGER

SCRAPYARD

My tío loved this old beater.

I mean El Taiguer.

Yeah, no kidding.

His only treasure.

His Camaro Bad Boy from 1973.

Forgive me, carnal.

If only he'd come clean sooner.

Yeah? For what?

To ask me to have your back,

because you're part

of a kidnapping organization?

No, cabrón.

Got roped into this big mess, yo.

I just wanted to protect the family, Mike.

And I didn't know how.

And then f*cked up again

for wanting to fix things. Yes!

Just keep f*cking up

over and over and over again.

What type of a family are we, cabrón?

We're just like any other family, Mike.

Full of secrets and deception.

You just have to dig deeper to find them.

Bro,

carnal to carnal,

I need you to help me fix this mess, Mike.

You promised your f

Taiguer.

Say it. "Your father."

In fact, why don't you add to it,

"Your father, on his deathbed,

begged you to help me."

I'm a police officer, cabrón!

What do you want?

What, you want me to quit?

To to betray myself,

-and go down with you?

-I know you're a police officer, Mike.

And I admire your integrity.

And I'ma be straight with you,

you know I'm for real.

So, if after this

you wanna arrest me, fine.

But you have to help me save Doña Alicia.

-Are you sure?

-I think so, jefe.

Hold on a minute.

This better be important. What is it?

I'm sorry, jefe, but I just wanted

to bring something to your attention.

I'm listening.

So I heard my brother,

who's a police officer,

telling one of his colleagues

that they're searching for the old lady.

You understand?

Mm-hm.

They were in Xalpita

to try and rescue her

when someone started sh**ting.

One of them died.

Wanted to warn you, jefe.

They're closing in on her.

They were told where to look. Hm?

Trust me, I wanna be in on this.

Come early tomorrow.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Careful with that snake, bro.

Venegas is no fool.

Plus, his g*ons are always

protecting his every move.

Wait

Look at this.

What is it?

They call him Pitbull.

That's the m*therf*cker

that k*lled Taiguer.

And that b*tch

is Venegas's girlfriend.

No mames.

This sh*t

will get Pitbull's

f*cking head on a stick.

Don't risk it, leave it to our team.

That's what were here for.

This sh*t ain't about the law anymore,

Mike. Don't be stupid, man.

This is no longer just to go and catch

the guys and rescue Dona Alicia.

Look, Mike. We gotta avenge Taiguer.

-Don't you wanna avenge your father?

-He was my father and all, but

I'm looking for justice, not vengeance.

Fine,

then we each

fend for ourselves, carnal. Hm?

Because I don't understand

paperwork or bureaucracy.

Come on, let's go talk to Mom.

Mamá?

-Oh, I'll get you your dinner, mi'jo.

-No.

Come on.

Evening, jefa.

What's he doing here?

Well,

something major went down,

and we wanted to talk to you together.

What? What happened?

Taiguer was k*lled.

-W-what? Tell me what happened!

-No!

No, please, what happened to him?

What happened?

Uh, he was attacked.

But it can't be!

Oh, my God!

What?

Oh, my goodness!

There, there.

I really am sorry for your loss, ma'am.

My family doesn't know that I'm here, so

-you understand.

-You can count on my full discretion.

So then, you want to claim the body

and organize the funeral?

I'm worried they'll send him

to the mass grave.

I know it's expensive but

I'll find the money to bury him.

Nothing fancy but..dignified.

El Taiguer knew he'd made his bed, Nora.

He knew that when this moment came.

Well, even

Even in death he'd be lonelier

than a poor, g*dd*mn dog.

Anyway, point is

he gave me these papers many years ago.

Gave them to me

so he wouldn't bother the family.

Pinche Taiguer.

Didn't wanna bother no one.

BURIAL PURCHASE AGREEMEN

He bought his own spot

at the San Nicolás cemetery.

Even left a tombstone.

With no date of passing,

since, well, he couldn't have known that.

He bought the spot next to his brother's.

And the next one over for you.

He wanted to be close to you in eternity.

He bought plots as well

for the boys and for Heidi.

To be together on the other side.

You were the love of his life, Nora.

'Sup, Chano?

Morning, patrón.

Guess what, Javo?

Sonia has finally transferred

the funds to a secure account

in one of those stupid islands

in, uh, South America

or who the f*ck gives a sh*t.

I got a contact

who knows about these things.

He verified it. Says everything's fine.

So now I got my million dollars.

f*cking great, patrón.

Now all that's left is a small maneuver,

and in two days the money's here.

How about some tacos?

Alright then.

Turned out to be lucrative

that business with Taiguer.

We'll release the old hag today.

What you think?

You gonna finish the job for good,

or are your little ba*ls gonna shrivel?

You know I'm down to hustle, patrón.

Plus, I could be your driver

case we gotta get away.

You see,

that's how we met when I took your truck.

Besides, with my driving skills,

nobody can catch us.

Alright.

Then today you are our designated driver.

I'd like to make sure

that everything with the van's in order.

You know, I'm a mechanic.

Shut the f*ck up, Javo. Stop pretending

like you're some mechanic genius!

Quiet, pinche Pitbull.

Cabrón's trying to do

things right for once,

but you're acting like a jealous b*tch.

Doing well, Javo.

You got a future in this,

'cause this bunch of crackheads

are f*cking worth sh*t.

Why, patrón?

-It's me who takes care of

-Ah, chingá!

You're gonna question my orders?

No. But I don't understand

why it's gotta be that as*h*le.

Listen to me, cabrón.

You need me to draw you a picture or what?

Anything goes wrong,

the one they'll get is pinche Javo.

I don't trust that cabrón.

I better go and

He's not gonna make it

out of this alive, relax.

They don't get his a*s,

then I'm going to.

you told me, patrón.

Take her to the same place.

If Sonia hasn't called you by 9:30,

that means she'll rat us out

to the police.

And in that case,

you cut her head off

and send it to the daughter.

Órale, cabrones! Open that f*cking gate,

we ain't got all day!

Yes, sir.

Chano, you go

in the van with Javo.

No surprises!

Or you m*therf*ckers will pay!

Follow him, cabrones! Right now!

f*cking Chano, just go!

f*cking go, cabrón!

For f*ck's sake!

These m*therf*ckers.

Almost there, my jefecita, okay?

Everything's gonna be fine.

Hang in there.

THE TIGER

SCRAPYARD

Mike! Pick up the f*cking phone!

f*ck, Mike!

Flaca, I need you.

I don't know who else to call.

I'm over at Taiguer's garage right now.

Is she breathing?

I don't know

¡Chingado!

I didn't wanna do this, I swear.

They made me do it.

Who's they? Why?

When I was looking for money to pay off

your house, I boosted a f*cking truck.

But the truck belonged to a kidnapper.

Told me he'd m*rder

the whole family, flaca.

-I'm a f*cking moron. f*ck!

-No, no, no baby, it's okay.

-You're not a moron. You simply

-I'm a f*cking piece a sh*t.

I am a traitor, a damn liar, a Judas.

But

Please forgive me, flaca.

What are you doing?

Take it.

-Take it!

-N

Take it, you promised!

Promised what? What's this about?

I'm the one who k*lled Santos.

It was an accident, flaca,

you gotta believe me.

That night,

Santos did actually see us

in the bathroom at the party.

And I told him everything!

That you and I were partners.

That I love you, Male.

And that I can't live without you.

I tried to take the g*n from his hands

You're a f*cking k*ller!

Flaca, flaca, wait. Stop.

You m*rder*d my son!

You m*rder*d my Santos!

You're the one who should be dead,

not my son!

You're a k*ller!

I didn't have the ba*ls

to tell you what happened.

I despise

the day I met you, Javo.

Hear me out

you and I are enemies from now on.

Doña Alicia?

I'm taking her to the hospital.
