Help! Help!
-Please help! -What's wrong?
I beg you!
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Are you okay?
My home. My daughter!
My home!
Listen...
- MI CASA... MI CASA... MI HIJA... MI CASA. MI CASA... - ESCUCHE... POR FAVOR...
Please.
I have to call the police.
No! Police no.
Police no!
Yes!
My home! Please!
Please!
Okay, just please get in the car.
Please.
Ma'am...
Please, just get in the car.
You'll be fine. Just get in the car, please.
Yes, hello.
Listen, I just found a woman in the middle of the street.
She's hysterical. She has blood on her hands.
She wants me to take her home...
I don't know what to do.
Ma'am, please. I want to go home.
My daughter...
My mother's coming from Mexico.
I haven't seen her in seven years.
-Sit. -Please.
First, we need to know what happened, okay?
Ma'am, I don't want any trouble.
I beg you. Just let me go home.
I can't, not until I take your statement.
What's your full name?
Karen. Karen Diaz.
Karen.
Karen, why were you running with blood on your hands?
Well, because my boss tried to rape me.
He took my clothes off and drugged me.
I don't remember much but I grabbed something made of glass
and knocked him over the head with it.
That's why my hands were bloody and I was running.
Who's your boss?
Ma'am, I don't want any trouble.
Let me go!
Karen, if your boss tried to rape you,
we need to arrest him.
Frank Castro.
His name is Frank Castro.
I worked for him and his wife as a maid.
I'd also babysit from time to time.
How long have you worked for them?
About a month. I'm not sure.
A friend recommended me.
I need you to tell me everything.
Start at the beginning. Don't leave anything out.
Ma'am, I just told you I started working there
after my friend recommended me.
I remember starting on a Saturday
because my daughter was with me.
We're here, sweetie.
I'm hungry, Mommy.
I know, sweetie, but we'll grab a bite after the interview.
-Promise. -What if you take too long?
I won't, Sofi. Don't worry.
I promise it'll be quick.
Listen to me, Sofia.
You're going to stay here.
Don't go anywhere and don't talk to strangers, okay?
-Yes, Mom. -Wish me luck.
Alright.
Good afternoon.
Hello. What can I help you with?
My name's Karen Diaz. I'm here about the maid job.
Oh, right! Come in.
Close the door behind you.
As you can see, the house is not too big.
Still, I'll need you to sweep, clean, and mop,
cook and make sure everything's tidy.
I'll also need you to watch my daughter
when she doesn't go to school.
It happens.
I understand.
I can watch your daughter,
but I do like spending weekends with my daughter.
That's too bad.
I'll find someone else then.
No, wait! I can manage.
I'll ask my roommate to watch Sofia.
-That's her name. -Are you sure?
Yes, of course.
I don't want any excuses later.
No, ma'am.
I promise I'll be here when you need me.
I'll be expecting you here tomorrow morning.
I'll be here first thing. Excuse me.
Wait.
Yes?
I almost forgot.
My husband works from home. He has an office here.
Okay.
He'll probably bother you occasionally.
For coffee, tea, a snack, and the like.
Sure, it'll be my pleasure to serve him.
Wonderful.
-Goodbye. -Bye.
-First thing. -Yes, ma'am.
Sofi!
Sofia. Sofia?
Sofia!
Oh, God. Sofia!
Sofia!
Sofia? Sofia!
Oh, my God! Sofia.
Sofia.
God, please don't do this to me.
Sofia! Sofia.
Sofia! Sofi!
-Sofia! -Mom.
-Sofia! -Mom!
-Is that your mom? -Sofia!
What are you doing!? Trying to kidnap her?
No, ma'am.
Your daughter was walking by herself
and I brought her to my home to call the police.
-Are you okay? -Yeah.
Like I said, she was alone...
I'm sorry. Your home?
-Yes, this is my home. -You live here?
My name's Frank Castro.
Why'd you leave? I told you to stay put.
Sorry, Mommy.
I saw some kids playing and I went after them to join them.
We're gonna have a talk later. I'm sorry.
I'm sure you understand a mother's concern.
-My name's Karen Diaz. -Pleasure.
I'll be working as your maid. I start tomorrow.
Well, welcome.
-See you tomorrow? -Yes.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
Ciao.
Say goodbye.
Sofia, thank God you're okay. Don't ever do that again!
-Promise me! -I promise.
If anything happened to you, I'd die.
So you started working at the Castros' the next day.
Yes, ma'am. Sunday.
I had to leave my daughter with my roommate Melissa.
How did Mr. Castro behave?
Did he make any advances that first day?
No, he was kind at first and respectful.
He was very nice.
I'm sorry.
No, keep going.
-Excuse me. -Go ahead.
He was always working.
He'd stay in his office all day.
He works in promotions or design or something.
It wasn't until the second week
that he started saying weird things.
What kind of underwear do you wear?
I beg your pardon?
I asked you what kind of underwear you wear.
Bikini, thong, G-string?
I think that's a personal question, sir.
Personal? I wear boxers.
You're holding a pair right now.
Show me your underwear.
Sir...
I'm not a pervert.
I'm working on a promotional campaign for my new underwear
and I need to know what kind of underwear women like to wear.
For example, this one here. This is a bikini.
My wife typically wears these. They're not my favorite.
Too much coverage, I'd say. I really don't like them.
Please show me what you're wearing.
Sir, please...
-Show it to me! -It's not right!
-It's an order! -Don't humiliate me!
Humiliate you? I'm your boss.
How can I humiliate you? You have to do as I say.
Come on.
Turn around.
Lift up the other side. Come on.
Why do you like that type of underwear?
They're comfortable.
Which do you prefer for lovemaking?
And that was it?
He didn't try to rape you or force himself on you?
No.
He didn't bother me again that day.
I tried avoiding him as much as I could.
At first, I thought he was just curious
or a harmless peeping Tom.
But then things got really weird.
He even started following me. He followed me home.
I was home alone. It was my day off.
My daughter Sofia was with my friend Melissa
at a birthday party.
Coming!
Hello.
Mr. Castro, what are you doing here?
I came to visit. I'm your boss, right?
How do you know my address?
A little birdie told me.
Did you follow me here?
Don't be ridiculous. How would I do that?
I got it from my wife's agenda.
I brought you a little gift for your daughter.
I can't accept that, especially if it's for my daughter.
Look, I'm just trying to apologize.
I shouldn't have asked you to show me your underwear.
Please accept it.
I don't want to talk about that anymore.
Me neither.
That's why I came to apologize.
Sir.
Wow!
Do you live on your own?
No. I don't.
I live with my boyfriend.
In fact, he's at the market. He'll be home soon.
And he's very jealous, so please leave.
I didn't know you had a boyfriend.
Oh, well.
You shouldn't be with someone jealous.
A beautiful woman like you
deserves to be treated like royalty.
-Oh, well... -Sir, I don't want trouble.
REINA. PERO BUENO... - SEÑOR, POR FAVOR, NO QUIERO PROBLEMAS.
-I agree. -Please.
Here. Take it.
Ciao.
Oh! See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, sir.
<i> Thankfully I was able</i> <i> to get rid of him</i>
<i> and he didn't come back.</i>
There was a day when I thought about quitting,
but finding work in Chicago is difficult, especially for...
Undocumented immigrants?
How'd you know?
You said you thought about quitting one day.
Yes.
It was the day Frank threatened me.
The baby in the manger is Jesus.
Jesus was born in a stable, surrounded by sheep.
Beautiful and loving sheep, birds, and even a donkey.
How about it?
I'm sure you're wondering
why a baby was born in a stable, right?
Do you want to know why?
I'll tell you.
Jesus was born in a stable
because when Joseph and Mary arrived at Bethlehem,
they had nowhere to go, so they had to go to a stable.
That same night, Mary gave birth.
Mr. Castro, I didn't realize you were here.
I'm tired of hearing you call me Mr. Castro.
Call me Frank. I'm your friend.
Understood?
Yes, sir... Frank.
My wife will be late today, so make my daughter dinner.
Please.
Right away, sir.
Excuse me.
What's wrong?
How's my princess?
How is my princess?
Hi, Mom.
How'd it go at the embassy?
Honey!
I was just there and they gave me a visa for ten years!
Ten years? I can't believe it!
That's amazing!
I'm finally going to see you again after seven long years!
Oh, my God!
You've no idea
how many times I asked Jesus to grant me this miracle.
We can spend Christmas together again.
Honey, Jesus made your dream come true.
We're going to spend Christmas together.
We deserve it!
Amen, Mom.
I have to go now. I'm busy.
<i> I'll call you later. </i>
I'll be counting down the hours.
Bye.
My God!
Sir, please.
I love smelling you.
You really turn me on.
I want to sleep with you.
I want to hold you and make love to you.
Sir, please leave me alone. I don't want to lose my job.
Alright.
If you become my lover, I'll treat you like a queen.
I'll buy you an apartment
and I'll sort out your migratory issues.
Think about it.
You could work for my company and I'd get you a work visa.
