INT. HOUSE-EARLY NIGHT

A blind 65-year mother lives with her 18 years old son in a one-floor house in a small city. The house has one bathroom, two bedrooms, and a living room with two yellow couches. The mother and her son listen to the news and drink green tea in plastic cups like usual. As they were listing to the news, they hear gunshots. The mother jumps off the couch, drops the cup of tea from her hand, and starts pacing; she hits his head on the TV, and her son puts his cup of tea on the table and tries to calm her down. He says it was just some fireworks, so nothing to worry about. He hugs her, kisses her head, and leads her back to the couch. Her son grabs her cup from the floor, goes to the sink, washes the cup, and sits next to her on the couch. He pours some more tea for her, then opens the news; "drug cartels invaded the city" he was born and grew up in and currently lives in. The gunshots were the drug cartels trying to control the city. Suddenly, the electricity went off, and the house temperature starts to increase; the son goes and opens one of the front windows of the house for some air to come in.

INT-HOUSE EARLY MORNING

Both could not sleep after a long night, waiting for the morning. The son is biting his left-hand nails and walking back and forth from his bedroom to the living room. As he walked to the living room, he raises his head and see his father's picture on the wall. When he was 10 years old, his father left him and never returned. Then, his mother calls him from her bedroom that they need to leave the city as soon as possible before the situation gets worst. He packed his mother's clothes in his big black bag, took her hand, and led her outside the house.

INT-CAR MORNING

The son opens the front passenger door of the Siena van door for his mother and then dashes around the van and jumps to the driving seat. He turns the van on and hits on gas so hard. He is driving on highway 31, 50 miles above the speed limit. His mother says son can you open the radio. The son says yes. He turns to the news channel to listen to any updates. The radio says, "drug cartels are kidnapping any person they catch and chopping the person and selling his body parts. They surrounded the city, and they have checkpoints around the city." After ten minutes of driving, his mother starts crying and tells his son, when you get married and have kids, do not go and leave them as your dad did. It is a lot of responsibility for a woman to raise a kid and work simultaneously. Her son, says I would never do that, mom. The son hits the brake very hard as his mother finishes talking, and his mother hits her head on the windshield because he forgot to put her seat belt on. Drug cartels surround his van, more than ten people are in the front of his car, and as he looks in the mirror, there are six people in the back of his van fully armed. They open his can doors, grab his mother by her hair, pull him out of the van, and put his face on the floor.

INT- DRUG CARTELS TRUCK LATE MORNING

They put him and his mother in handcuffs and cover their eyes. After 2h drive, they arrive at an isolated place. They arrive at a two-floor house with no windows and one front door. As they enter the house, it has another two floors underground. The son asks where are you taking us?

My mom is 65 years old, and she cannot see. Please do not kill us. One of the drug cartels says our president wants to see both of you. They put them in a small room, waiting for the president of the drug cartel to show up and decide what he should do with them. As the president of the drug cartel enters, the son is shocking and starts crying. The mother shouts, please do not kill him. The son says mom, he will not kill me. He is my dad. He hugs them and told them he had to go or the drug cartels would kill him, but now he is the president and he killed all his coopetitors.
