I thought they were gonna kill him because he was a gringo or a cop, then the little sisters wallet fell out of his pocket and they discovered that he had saved her? It's been a while since I've seen it.
Denzel paid them to kill him. Wallet he found after saving their little cousin falls out of pocket while he's upside down in the tub. Ese's get pissed, thinking he did something to her so it was going to turn into a torture instead of a quick headshot kill. Calls cousin and she confirms he saved her. They call off the hit in return. Deleted scene shows head ese tell Ethan Hawke he'll probably chief one day, and to remember him.
