Catalina, what's going on?
Sir, there's no one named Catalina here!
Coming!
It's a long story.
Back in my day, there was a girl named Catalina.
She was the prettiest girl in town.
We all wanted to be like her.
I remember when I first arrived here.
Listen, baby.
It's simple.
Just sleep with the owner of the place.
Then you can work here.
All you have to do is give it to him good.
Once he tells me you're ready to work,
I'll have you train with Mrs. Amanda.
She'll teach you how to pole dance like a queen.
Pole dance?
I've always wanted to learn how to pole dance.
That's the spirit.
You have that special something.
You've got spunk.
So when can I start working here?
Once Mrs. Amanda tells me you're ready.
Well, that shouldn't take long,
'cause I'm a fast learner.
Besides, I have a daughter to feed.
I've got to make enough for us both.
That all depends on you, baby.
So how much do they pay around here?
This is a pretty popular spot.
We get a lot of middle-to-upper class clients.
Representatives, congressmen, DAs...
It's not the fanciest place, but it's also not the worst.
Okay... so how much do they pay?
You get 30% of whatever you make.
How much is that?
Listen, baby.
If you sleep with a client and make $100,
you get $30.
$30?
Get a load of this guy!
That's nothing!
I'm used to making $500.
Back when you slept with drug lords.
You were a call girl back then.
You were ten years younger and hadn't had kids.
Those days are long gone.
Yeah, but just $30?
That'll barely last me a day!
Relax.
Look, if you sleep with three clients, you'll make $90.
Alright.
When can I start?
That's the spirit!
Oh, and another thing.
You need to change your name.
All of our girls need an alias.
Think of a name
as you make your way to Mr. Ovidio's room.
That'll be your name here from start to finish.
Alright.
Let's do this. When can we start?
Let's go.
Mr. Ovidio is waiting for you.
You can tell him your new name.
Uh-huh.
Where is he?
I'll walk you there.
Come on in, sweetie.
Good afternoon.
Great afternoon.
What name should I bless you with?
Remember, you can't forget the name.
It's permanent.
Come on in. Don't be scared.
My name is Catalina.
That's why I chose the name Catalina.
That's why Diabla hates Catalina so much.
We all wanted to be like her.
We all wanted men to drool over us.
I can still call you Vanessa, right?
Of course you can, silly!
If you don't come out in two minutes,
you're paying overtime.
He'll be right out!
What are you doing?
I'll pay for a double dip.
That's $200.
Alright.
Don't worry... about the money.
I've got plenty.
In fact, I'll pay you $300.
You can keep $100 for yourself.
You have half an hour.
What's up, baby? Get to work.
What have you done?
I just bought us some more time... to think.
What?
We don't have $100, much less $300.
Where are we going to get that money?
We almost ran out of time, but now we have 30 minutes!
Well, 29 if we keep chatting.
My God. What can we do?
What do you mean he paid for a double dip?
He offered $200, boss.
You said that...
No double dips with my women!
How many times have I told you?
No double dips with Catalina and Miranda.
Alright, sir. I'll keep that in mind.
You'll keep it in mind?
You idiot.
Who is that guy?
You should see him, boss.
Who is he, though?
He's just a regular Joe.
Not only that, he stutters and has a huge nose.
He's skinny. You're a real man.
I want to meet him.
I want to see him when he gets out.
What kind of man isn't satisfied after one round?
Alright, sir.
The window!
We could climb out the window!
No!
That'd be dangerous.
Besides, that window faces the patio.
Someone might see us.
Doesn't matter.
We can call Albeiro.
He'll put a mattress down there
so we don't hurt ourselves.
Enough, Jota.
This isn't an action flick.
Help me come up with a plan.
We're almost out of time.
No. Let's call him.
Perhaps he can call the police to come rescue us.
No!
Not the police.
These people bought off the police.
Jota, these are dangerous human traffickers.
You don't know what these men are capable of.
Vanessa, please! Please listen to me.
Let's call him.
Maybe he'll think of something.
Yes!
Ximena's here!
So?
Of course!
If Albeiro comes, they can make a scene!
That way, they can distract them
while we escape through the back door!
I don't know what Albeiro will say,
but I'll ask him anyway.
Besides, his friend is with him.
Perhaps they'll come up with something.
Yes!
Call him!
Could I borrow your phone, Vanessa?
Yes, of course! Call him.
Catalina!
Oh, my goodness.
Who is it?
I don't know, I don't recognize the number.
Hello?
Albeiro!
It's me! Jota!
Jotica...
-What? -It's Jota.
What happened?
I think I'm in trouble.
What do you mean?
How can I help you, Jota?
I need your help.
It's a long story.
How am I supposed to help you?
Come to the place where Vanessa works.
Then look for Ximena
and tell her Vanessa and I are locked up in a room.
We want to escape.
Seriously, man?
How am I supposed to help you?
-Cause a scene! -What?
Start a commotion!
We need you to distract the pimp!
Jota, please! What pimp?
Who are you talking about?
It's always something.
Please, Albeiro!
I don't have time to explain.
I'm running out of time!
He's the guy who manages all the girls here!
Seriously, man.
The things you get me into...
Relax. I understand.
If you can't help me, it's fine.
I just thought to ask a friend.
What are you talking about?
Don't be f---ing stupid!
I'm on my way.
Thank you.
He's coming now.
I hope it's not too late.
No. Don't worry.
Albeiro would never abandon me...
just as I'd never abandon him.
What is it? Where are you going?
I'm going to help Jota.
He's over at that place where Vanessa and Ximena work.
He's in big trouble and I'm going to rescue him.
What do you mean?
Jota may be our friend and Catalina's godfather,
but I don't want you to go over there!
It could be dangerous!
Listen, honey.
Let me tell you something.
What?
I need to help him and that's that.
I can't just abandon him.
I can't believe this!
I'll call Ximena in the meantime.
Girl!
I need your help.
What is it?
I want out of here.
What do you mean?
Are you feeling sick?
No.
I want out for good!
What do you mean? Where will you go?
Jota's here.
Oh, my goodness...
You've got to be kidding me.
Nope.
Jota pass himself off as a client.
He discovered the truth.
What are you going to do now?
I don't know.
He made me pick between staying here
or being with him.
Girl, you know how much I love him.
I know, girl...
but you can't throw everything down the drain
just because Jota asked you to.
Jota's a good man.
He loves you... but we both know he's as broke as a joke.
I'm not throwing anything down the drain.
We've been going downhill for a while now.
Albeiro, brother! What's going on?
I have to help my friend. You know, the stutterer.
He's in trouble. I have to help him.
I'll go with you.
No. You can't go.
It could be dangerous. Someone might see you.
You're not going alone. I'll go with you.
I'm afraid of what could happen to you.
Look, honey. Jota's like family to us.
He's helped us when we needed it the most.
He collected money around the neighborhood
to help rebuild our house.
Honey, he was nearly killed because of us.
Give me your blessing.
Alright.
May God protect you.
Bye, Mrs. Hilda.
Come on, David.
Bye, honey!
Boss!
The stutterer's got 10 minutes left.
If you want, you can see him when he's done.
Of course I want to see him!
Go on!
Inform me once he's done.
We still have some time!
Yeah! Show some respect!
Girl! It's me, Xime!
Come in.
Oh, Jota.
I'm so embarrassed you had to see this.
Hello, Ximena. I'm happy to see you.
How can I help you guys?
The thing is, Jota followed me here.
I'll explain later.
The thing is, Jota told Chulo he'd pay $100 for me.
Then he upped it to $300 for another 30 minutes.
What?
We only have $30!
What can we do?
Vanessa, you're in trouble.
Yes, I know.
Want to know the worst part?
We only have five minutes left!
Five minutes?
Well, what's the plan?
Alright, alright.
Vanessa and I want to... escape.
But we need something to distract everyone outside.
Distract them?
Distract them how?
My friend Albeiro is coming over now.
Oh, okay.
I'll come up with something, then.
Yes!
Head over to the door and make a huge scene!
Go now! We're running out of time!
Alright.
I'll make a huge scene with Albeiro.
Vanessa, we can't get Albeiro into trouble.
You know how Mr. Ovidio is.
Yes. I know, Ximena.
Please go. We're almost out of time.
Alright.
I'll be right back.
What's going to happen afterwards, though?
Afterwards?
We're leaving.
Aren't you coming back?
No...
No, girl.
I never want to come back to this hellhole again.
Right.
Who'd want to come back to this?
I'm happy for you guys.
Don't worry, girl.
I'll help you out.
Thank you.
Hurry!
Good God.
I hope Albeiro makes it here quick.
If not, we'll have to hide in here forever.
Hide in here? How?
These people have keys to all the doors.
Boss.
The stutterer's time is up. Want to go see him?
Of course I want to see him!
I want Catalina to see how mad I am.
She knows she can't let customers have seconds.
Why'd she let him have another go?
It's probably because she likes him.
If that's the case, I'm going to kill her!
Time's up!
Alright, you stuttering bastard!
Pay up or you're dead!
Jota, he's going to kill you.
I'm not allowed to let customers have seconds.
My boss must be furious!
What's going on?
Hold on! Just a minute!
No...
- NO...
No what?
We're getting dressed!
This guy needs a beating.
Be right back.
Thanks, man.
Here you go. Thank you.
Let's go inside before anything happens to Jota.
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
May I come in?
Full house, man.
What do you mean?
We're at capacity.
I could sit at the bar or in a corner somewhere.
The bar's full. The whole place is packed.
Alright.
Look...
I'm the health inspector.
I'd like to take a look around.
I could have the boss come meet you.
Nonsense.
I'm not here on duty.
I'm here to have fun, you feel me?
Yes, I do.
I'll talk to a waiter
and have him clean up a table for you.
Sound good?
Sounds good to me.
Molina, go get a waiter.
Thank you.
