Do you know Deivid, your husband's friend?
He works for the Gaona Cartel,
the people pressuring Jim that won't leave Babel.
Your problem is you're seething at the sight of what I now am.
No matter what you do, I'll always beat you.
You knew Circe was in Mexico City, didn't you?
And that she's running the Mexico City cartel.
-How would I have known? -You knew!
Did you kill Eliseo?
What if I had? What are you gonna do?
From now on, I'm going to manage the business.
We have to leave this place right now.
"Bar-back!"
No one's leaving this place.
How may I help you?
I'm here about the ad in the paper.
You're looking for a bartender's assistant.
Shoot... Joselito.
Pull the trigger.

You got garbage bags here in Babel?
You'll need a lot of them to clean up what's left of you
after I fill you with lead, ------------.
-Please! -Don't hurt him.
You and Gavino sought me out so you could invest in Babel.
You needed me.
I know the waitresses couldn't have left on their own.
Someone must've helped them.
You challenged me in your office.
Are you trying following through now, ------- it?
I said that if you didn't mess with my people
I wouldn't mess with yours. That's what I said.
I wasn't challenging you.
It's the deal I had in place for years with Gavino
and the Gaona Cartel.
Well, the deal is off.
Tell the security staff to close Babel.
Gather the employees in the main room
'cause I want to talk to them.
Is that clear?
No one gets to leave until the waitresses turn up.
No one can meet with you today. Come back tomorrow.
They why put an ad in the freaking paper
if you're not interested when someone shows up.
The person who does the interviews isn't here.
Help me out.
I live downtown and it took me a while to get here.
Hey! I'm talking to you!
Close everything up. The boss wants everyone inside.
Get rid of him.
Hurry!
Sorry, buddy. Close the gates.
What?
You're leaving mid conversation?
Snobs!
You had to be from Mexico City.
This is why nobody likes you.
What's this?
I know her!
Assume a comfortable stance.
Hold the weapon close
and always keep your finger off the trigger.
Rest the butt on your shoulder,
picture the person who's hurt you most, and shoot.
Got it?
Got it.
You're up.
Well... not bad.
But are you gonna be with them whenever they have to shoot?
These women don't know the first thing about guns.
Of course they don't, dummy.
I taught my girls to launder money and spread their legs.
But they're not the least bit stupid, Circe.
They will learn whatever you teach them.
Circe will teach you.
Yes!
You have to realize you're not waitresses anymore.
You're soldiers now.
You can't be told you can't do something.
I'm giving you a chance to castrate
the men who saw you merely as sex toys.
And nobody's going to order you around, not even me.
You're not my employees.
You are my partners!
We're family here.
And Brandon will teach you absolutely everything
there is to know about guns.
And you're going to be very respectful, aren't you?
Of course.
When the Colombians get us our weapons... we'll be ready.
Understood?
Understood.
Circe.
How are you going to use the girls to smuggle the 500 kilos?
Remember what happened to Gavino
when he failed the Colombians.
They didn't forgive him. They almost killed him.
They'll be harder on you, sweetheart.
No, Nana. I don't plan on failing.
We have no contacts within the administration.
Smuggling a shipment of drugs is a lot more difficult
than smuggling a group of illegals.
Next.
Joselito doesn't want you to get out of here alive.
What's going on? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What's going on? Huh?
What's going on, Doctor?
The judge and warden have ordered your immediate return.
They said I could go back in two days.
They don't want to risk it anymore.
I'm sorry, but they prefer you in prison than healthy.
Listen up, fools. Let's set the record straight.
Some of you don't know who I am.
I am Jose Arturo Hernandez Esparza.
That gringo may be your boss,
but the one who ponies up the money,
the one who pulls the strings of the puppet known as Babel,
is me.
Got it?
Yes.
Some of our waitresses disappeared.
Make all the sad puppy dog faces you want,
but we all know no one can leave without my permission.
In other words and so as not to bore you,
those women had been kidnapped
and I need to know where they went.
They don't know where they are. Are you drunk or high?
Shut up, ------------! This isn't ballet class.
No one has walked in or left through the main entrance.
I'm with you, boss.
The same applies to the warehouse.
Or the dressing rooms. Right, Gaby?
No.
Yes, yes... The dressing rooms...
This and that... Come here!
Hey! Shh!
Alright.
Since those girls won't turn up, you'll take their place.
-No! -Yes, yes.
In fact, Babel is closed today. No one gets to leave.
Are you keeping us hostage?
Yes, you've been kidnapped. This is a kidnapping.
Let her go.
I won't! And I won't let you go!
This is an Uzi. It's a submachine gun.
It can fire 30 rounds one at a time or in short bursts.
When Joselito realizes I emptied Babel
and brought all the girls here, he's gonna lose it.
Joselito's a bastard.
He tried to kill me once. You know that.
I do.
Gavino was the only one who could keep him under control.
Was Marlene there after you left?
I don't think so.
The girls usually rehearse the evening show in the morning.
Call her and tell her to stay home.
If she's there, tell her to leave ASAP.
It's gonna get messy.
Beyond messy.
Hey, you've reached Marlene.
Please leave a message. Kisses!
Marlene, please call me when you get this.
If you're in Babel, leave immediately.
"Incoming call from Emiliano"
My girl isn't answering.
It's better this way. I really want to surprise her.
You'll see the look on her face when she sees me.
That girl has changed you a lot, hasn't she?
Just a bit.
-Roses! -What?
I've never seen you give anyone roses.
You were all about sowing your wild oats.
It's all in the details, man. My girl deserves it.
Don't you miss having a girl in the morning
and a different one in the afternoon?
You were faithful to Circe for about a week.
What is it about Isabel?
Is she wild like a rodeo bull in the sack?
I'll give you an answer that you can easily understand.
When you meet the girl you want to grow old with,
the one you want to sleep with and wake up next to,
you'll get it.
Explaining it to you now
is like talking to a woman about soccer.
You just don't get it.
Is that yours? No, it's me.
It's Salas.
What's up?
Diego, we have a serious problem.
Emiliano Guevara's family turned up in Alamos.
They're looking for him.
What?
Look, I'm sorry.
I know I was supposed to keep them off your scent,
but given what happened...
You said they had no relatives. What happened?
We need to meet.
I'll fly out to Mexico City as soon as possible.
We'll talk then.
Alright.
See you then. Call me after you land.
So much for being happy, ------- it.
What's wrong?
Emiliano Guevara's family is looking for him.
The customer from table four is a vegetarian.
She's complaining because she was given a carne asada panini.
I'm sorry.
I'm almost certain she ordered carne asada.
No, she wanted a vegetarian panini.
No, no. I'm sure it's in here.
Relax. I have it here.
Table four: Vegetarian panini.
MESA 4, PANINI VEGETARIANO.
Exactly. I was right.
There's more.
Table seven: Carne asada panini.
What?
The waiter messed up. She didn't.
You still have to make the vegetarian panini.
It's right here. It's ready.
Thanks for saving me.
It doesn't pay to stress here.
You have to be confident. We all make mistakes.
Here's the carne asada panini. Thank you.
Remember, don't stress.
Alright.
Do you mind if I sit here?
You're the new girl, right?
Are you stalking me?
No.
I guess that's not gonna happen today.
I don't like to embarrass myself either.
Where are you going?
The plan was for us to eat lunch together.
I don't need you to sit with me out of pity.
It's not out of pity.
I... don't have friends either, so I thought...
I'm Edgar.
Amanda.
I noticed you because I sit here, but you never notice me.
Sorry. I'm very absentminded.
Really? I couldn't tell!
Jose, calm down.
Let the women go. The men can stay.
If I do that, you'll have to go too.
No one leaves until I get answers.
I saw Ramona leave, but she was alone.
Nuria and I saw her in her office, but she was alone.
She was packing her things, but she didn't explain herself.
Your problem is with me.
I saw Ramona leave with the waitresses
and I didn't stop her.
Let the women go and do whatever you want with me.
Oh, God!
You ------- gringo! When did you become so brave?
You did it 'cause you know I can't kill you, didn't you?
You're still alive 'cause you're Babel's legal owner.
Alright.
Here's what we're gonna do:
You let those bitches go and you're gonna bring them back.
How am I gonna do that?
"How am I gonna do that?" Figure it out.
I'm holding all of your employees, your dancers.
For every hour that the waitresses are away,
we'll kill one of your dancers.
Get going.
Move it unless you want to get shot too.
Bring everyone.
You can dance and jump on stage,
but you have two left feet when we're in a rush.
Get inside!
Now, ------- it!
Now!
Take all their crap.
Cell phones, the works. Lock the door when you're done.
And you, you're coming with me.
We have to get my merch back.
Right this way. Come on.
-What? -Help me!
We need something to open it.
-A hanger! -Yes!
-Watch the door. -You're gonna go, right?
Yes, yes. Hurry!
What are we doing here, Diego?
You said we were going to your girl's job
to drop off the flowers.
-Here? -Yeah.
Don't get the wrong idea. She's just a dancer.
It's very artistic.
-This is Babel, ------------! -Yes.
Where Mr. Gavino launders most of his money.
This place belongs to the Gaona Cartel.
