The Legend of La Llorona (La Llorona)

Welcome to Mexico, mis amigos.

My name is Jorge Antonio Lopez.

He needs Ritz crackers and water.

I'm sorry, I don't have no Ritz.

I got chicharonnes.

What's that?

It's a... it's a pig skin.

Fried pig skin, buddy.

Do you have a bag up there?

Or else this is gonna top off in just a second.

No, no. I'm sorry. No bags.

Carly? Honey?

Hi, I could use your help here.

You have any bags?

Thank you.

Are you here for business or pleasure?

I don't know if pleasure is the right word.

We just needed to get away for a while, that's all.

Just a change of scenery.

Sounds like pleasure.

See it is a magic place.

But just like in your country, we have some very bad people.

Who were those guys?

Those were the very bad people.

You be better to stay by the villa.

May I suggest la ensalada de Chicatana.

Ohhh!

Veronica makes delicious.

What's that?

It's a salad of flying hormigas, ants.

Oh, it's wonderful.

Hola.

Hola, Veronica may I present la familia Candlewood.

Bienvenidos.

Hola.

I am Veronica.

- You Carly? - Ah, yes.

Mucho gusto.

Nice to meet you.

You have a nice trip?

Huh, fine.

You remind me of someone.

Do I?

Very pretty face.

You Mejicana?

Not that I know of.

I'm adopted.

Of course not.

Oh, this is my husband Andrew, our son Danny.

Mom, what do I do with this?

Tu hijo?

I didn't know you bring boy.

Sorry, I must have forgot to include that.

You didn't tell her when you made the reservation?

No, sorry, is that okay?

No problema.

Give me that, Danny, let's get you cleaned up.

Okay.

House is good choice, honey.

What do you think?

Um, it's... big.

Sure is.

Can't believe we're here for the whole month.

We can live like kings... or drug lords.

Okay. Well, I'm going to get the registration stuff

figured out. Why don't you get unpacked?

- You okay? - I'm fine.

So, I was talking to Veronica

and she recommended this really great place

for us to grab dinner.

I was thinking maybe we could go there.

Just the two of us?

We can leave Danny here with her.

They seem to really be hitting it off.

Sure, yeah.

So, nice bed.

Bouncy, pillowy.

I'm a fan.

Have you tried it?

All right, Carly, look. We can talk about this.

You know that's why we came here.

Sure we didn't come for the ant salad.

We came here to find some peace and quiet

and talk this out, right?

Most couples get...

find it hard to continue after losing a child and...

What's the name?

Of the restaurant?

What's the name?

I'll look up reviews.

I don't know.

She didn't say.

I doubt it's on Yelp, though.

Can you just stop for one second?

I can't believe that I'm the one who wants to start

a conversation about our feelings.

I'm unpacking. You told me to unpack. I'm unpacking.

Then you can unpack later.

Just please.

I think about Bridget all the time.

Stop. Stop it.

I don't wanna do this.

Can you just not say her name? Please.

- She's my daughter too. - She was!

Was your daughter, Andrew.

Okay.

I see this is it.

This is exactly why most couples get...

Get what?

What were you gonna say, Andrew?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Dad.

Hey, buddy.

Can we go explore outside?

Veronica says there's all these neat water roads around here?

Water roads?

Oh, the canals.

- Yeah. - Yeah, of course.

Yeah, we can see the canals, buddy.

Oh! Cool box.

Don't touch that.

Sorry, mom.

Look, I just... I don't want you to play with it.

Hey why don't we... why don't we go outside, come on.

Mom, you coming?

Yeah, of course, she's coming, buddy.

The fresh air will do her good.

Right, Dan?

Right.

God.

It's beautiful here.

Whoa, cool, mom, look, what I found.

You know he is still alive, right?

Andrew, please.

You always said you couldn't connect with your mother

and here you are doing the same thing with your son.

He's here with us physically.

He didn't die with Bridget.

Can we just hold off on this for a few days?

He thinks you're mad at him.

It just... feels wrong to smile.

It feels wrong to be happy, to be alive.

Then we talk about it, all right.

I'm here for you.

Most husbands would have left, but here I am.

What does that mean?

You know what it means. It means I'm here.

I'm staying.

You need me, Carly,

and for fricks sake I need you too.

I lost Bridget also.

Yeah, but you didn't know her like I did.

You didn't hold her.

Oh, I held her.

I asked the doctor to let me.

And she was real to me, she still is.

You said you didn't feel close to your mother because you

were adopted but here you are doing the exact same thing

to your son.

Don't push him away.

Danny needs us.

And we need each other.

In a year or two from now, we can try again.

I'm just... I'm so angry.

I don't know what I did wrong.

You didn't do anything wrong, honey.

You didn't do anything.

No, I messed up.

I messed up so bad I let our little girl die.

I don't wanna do that with Danny.

Help!

God, Danny.

Mom. Dad. Come over here.

- Hey! - Danny!

Mom, Dad. Please help me!

Mom!

Danny!

He's caught on something.

Something wrapped around his leg.

- Rip at it. - I'm trying.

Just get him out! Get him out!

Now, go!

- It was just weeds. - No.

- What? - There was somebody.

- There was somebody down there. - Where?

- Somebody grabbed my arm. - Oh, come on, honey, please.

You know I hate to be the one to tell you this but the doctor

made me a promise I'd do it, I'm telling you.

Have you taken your meds today?

God, Andrew.

Did you see anyone down there in the water?

I saw a lady.

- What? - I saw a lady too.

- In the water? - Okay.

Have you taken your meds today, bud?

What the heck is that?

Oh, come on, let's go.

Danny would love this place.

Do you think he's upset that we left him behind?
