Honey, we're home.
I'm going to find her.
"For Eliza"
Eliza, you have every right to be upset with me,
but I never thought my actions would get you in trouble.
For the first time ever, I regret everything I did.
I helped a mother find her daughter
and without meaning to,
I'm to blame for the tragedy that hit you and your family.
I hope that one day you can forgive me.
This is all I can give you to at least try to make up
for all that you lost.
Honey, what's wrong? What are you doing in here?
I'm thinking bad things.
What bad things?
That's what.
Have you heard from Steve?
I haven't heard from him since he left for Spain.
Me neither.
You know he doesn't talk much, especially not to me.
What about Margot? Have you talked to her?
-Has she said anything? -No.
Stop worrying.
They're probably having fun in Europe
while we're dealing with Charlie's illness.
It's just weird that he hasn't called.
He wouldn't call me. You know he hates me.
That's not true. He's your brother.
Half-brother.
Don't forget that. And he does hate me.
He's hated me since...
Well, since high school.
That's what happens when your father has two families
and forces you to accept the others,
the ones invading your world.
That's not good. It's why people suffer.
Do you have Margot's phone number? It's in the phonebook.
Which is it? This one?
The red one.
Hello.
Margot.
Hey, it's Max Sullivan. Jenny's husband.
How are you?
No, it's just that we haven't heard from Steve
and we wanted to know if everything was alright.
Steve? We haven't talked in a while.
I'm in Madrid with my son. Is something wrong?
Close your eyes. Try it.
Come on.
Maybe it'll help me imagine my husband's here with me.
Don't try to see a face.
Try to feel your wife.
Feel her smell, for example.
Remember what it felt like to touch her skin.
Let your lips remember the sensation of a kiss.
Sofia said she and her husband had a big fight.
She said she needed a place to stay.
I was very uncomfortable.
I...
I didn't want to be caught in the middle of a marital spat.
Besides, she was with her little girl.
Alondra?
That's right.
She looked exhausted so I let her in.
I shouldn't have let her stay.
Soon she started acting strange.
Why? What'd she do?
My wife, she's on a trip.
Sofia came into my room at night and tried to seduce me.
Are you sure you didn't misunderstand?
Oh, boy! I wish.
It's hard to misunderstand
when a woman gets undressed in front of you.
She got undressed, she got in my bed,
and told me she'd do anything if I helped her.
Where will we go, Mom? We don't have any money.
We still have a bit left.
It should be enough to get us to San Francisco.
San Francisco?
We're not leaving the country anymore?
No, I left Eliza the money
We can't go anywhere but to San Francisco.
I'll get a job and find you a school.
We'll see.
The bad guys won't find us there, right?
Forgive me, Sofia. I was really unfair.
Senator, you do know that these are serious accusations.
Sofia tried to seduce me in this very room.
I was about to go to bed
and she was wearing a very sexy nightgown.
I asked her if she needed anything
and why she hadn't knocked.
And what'd she say?
She didn't say anything,
but her intentions were clear because she took off her gown.
She was completely naked.
Oh, boy!
You guys don't know what it's like to see her naked.
Did you tell her you didn't want to have sex with her?
I even told her in Spanish so she'd understand,
but that didn't stop her from getting in my bed.
She's not a cold woman. She's very passionate.
I'd never met a woman like Sofia.
Now I understand why my friend Ernesto's crazy about her.
So according to you, she seduced you?
I know...
but still, she obviously...
Well, she enjoyed what she was doing.
She said she'd do anything if I gave her money.
I'm sure you said no, given your ethics and values, right?
Hey, Joel.
It's fine, agent.
I am a conservative man and I love my wife. I also respect my friends.
That's why I said no.
She cried and begged me for money.
How much?
A lot.
She wanted money
and for me to help her get revenge on her husband.
Get revenge for what?
I don't know...
I didn't ask her.
Too many problems.
I've been Ernesto's friend for years.
I didn't want to know anything else.
I didn't want to...
take sides.
So...
So why'd you call your friend Ernesto
so he'd pick her up the next day?
We know that's what you did.
You delivered Sofia to him. So you did end up taking sides.
