Well, Nancy's tied up in the back of a car with zipties and a reporter corpse on top of her, so she's screamin' a little bit. There's composure and then there's corpse adjacency. Guillermo shushes her but she doesn't shush and she squeamishly begs to ride up front with the non-dead people, but of course Guillermo loves this too much to get her out of the trunk. However, Nancy also has that ability to be super annoying and never give up, so eventually they let her up into the backseat. Guillermo has the distinct look of one who feels he has failed.
Nancy swears that Stevie's not at the airport, acts offended that they don't believe her, and then changes the subject with a whisper to how many people have seen the tape of Shane bopping Pilar. Esteban assures her that he has control of the DVD and that if she doesn't produce his heir for him at the airport, he'll have Shane arrested for murder. Nancy goes into total Momma Lion mode and starts talking some real stupid mess about how she knows all this shit, saw all this shit -- bribery extortion blackmail bank accounts missing DEA agents dead journalists in the trunks of sedans -- and Guillermo's like, "Um, we are going to kill you. Unless the FBI's into the dark arts of Ouija or Patricia Arquette is real, I think it'll be okay."
Which, I don't know anything about this stuff. If they showed that video I would just point to Pilar's mouth and say, "This is the part where the corrupt millionairess -- See her? With her hands on both the government and the drug trade there? -- that's where she said she was going to have my family murdered. I don't know if you guys in law enforcement are familiar with gangster things, but I kinda think she could've pulled it off." And they would say "We're putting Shane in jail" and I would say, "Good! Do they have the talking cure in jail? Because between you and me this kid is bananas."
Anyway, Nancy tells Guillermo to shut up in a hilariously bratty way, and then makes the mistake of kitten-talking to Esteban and twice calling him her "husband," so then her husband hauls off and smacks her across the face. Hard, like Phil Stuckey hard. Because how mean to even call him that! I've always liked Esteban and Guillermo, both, so it's kind of nice to see them being so creepy and still so hurt. Like a bug going, "I can't believe I let you put your wasp eggs in my brain!"
