that you're gonna help him.

Just tell him that

you know the ranch.

I don't.

Well, learn it.

Listen to me.

Just help him get his stuff

from one side to the other.

Don't tell him, please.

Don't tell Andres.

I know my way

around the ranch.

I can make things

really easy for you.

I like American girls.

I'm gonna take care

of your truck.

Be in touch.

I gotta run.

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon.

Nice day, no?

What brings you here,

gentlemen?

I'm looking for Arturo.

Claudia.

Come here.

Where's Arturo?

I don't know.

He took your truck.

I don't know where he went.

You see?

He's not here.

Are you visiting?

She's only here

for a little bit.

Go inside.

Lita needs you.

You have a beautiful ranch.

A lot of land.

Must be hard to maintain.

To keep secure.

Here, we don't have

any problems with the ranch.

Excuse me. I have work to do.

Don't let them involve us

into their mess.

People are always

driving through my land

looking for a shortcut

to the main road.

It's always

been a problem.

If you see Arturo,

you send him to me.

F***ing reception, man.

Okay, Mom.

Bye.

Tell her to try it.

Make her try it.

You're her father.

I've eaten a chili before.

This is my nephew.

That's not true.

You fixed the truck?

It's not done yet.

Come take a ride with me.

Got a meeting.

No, no, no, look,

shut up for a second.

This is what we're gonna do.

You're gonna go to his house.

You're gonna tell him to return the money

because we already agreed on a price.

Under no circumstances are we

giving him any more money, okay?

F***ing Mexicans.

Aren't you Mexican?

No, I'm not

f***ing Mexican.

I'm just... I'm stationed

down here for a bit.

Too valuable for this

shithole anyway.

You know what I mean,

right?

I came down here because things

used to be so f***ing easy.

People just took

the world as it is.

They just took what you gave them,

no questions asked.

And now, that's all gone.

It's a f***ing zoo.

If you could be anywhere else right now,

where would you be?

Would you be with me?

Or would I be alone?

I didn't bring my passport.

It's all right.

You don't need it.

Open the glove

compartment.

Hand me those cards.

Good.

Relax. With the cards,

I come and go whenever I want.

Good evening, sir.

Where are you headed?

San Diego.

It's, um...

It's our anniversary.

Have a nice night.

Thank you.

Yeah, you could

make a run for it.

But then what?

I know about you, Claudia.

About all of it.

You wanna be some poor illegal

working shitty jobs?

Sh*t,

I couldn't do that.

But if that's

what you want,

then go.

I'm not

going to stop you.

Or you could

help me out a little bit.

Do a few runs.

Make some easy,

easy money.

And then

I'll bring you back.

Think it over.

Go grab a cup of coffee

or something.

Need to have a chat

with my dudes here.

You just come and go

as you please?

I still haven't

heard from Arturo.

There's some food

if you did not eat.

You want some more?

No, thanks, Mom.

You mind if I come out

with you today?

What did she say?

People are sneaking in.

Stealing it for food.

It all has to go or

they'll keep coming.

If they're hungry,

why don't you let them have it?

'Cause the cows

are hungry, too.

Okay, hold it up higher.

Away from your body.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Ola.

When I was a boy,

I used to love

setting things on fire.

My father asked me to

weed his garden,

and I burned it all.

I didn't mean

to burn it all.

Ready to roll, pocha?

Keep doing what you're doing.

You know your way around.

Just make sure my stuff

gets across the ranch.

What's the matter?

Don't you trust me?

Where's our truck?

Relax.

We'll drop it off.

Don't worry.

My dudes are cool.

Don't think about it.

Just get them through, fast and easy.

Yeah, I got it.

Lita and I,

we committed ourselves to this place.

They said that the land

was too rocky.

That I would always be at its

mercy and I would make no money.

But I'm still here.

Everything from the outside

can ruin you.

If you let it.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Hands on the wheel.

Turn off the car.

Come on.

Get out.

Search it.

Get out.

Sergeant!

Let her go.

Your father know

where you are?

Yeah.

Does he know

who you're with?

I was in town,

and he offered me a ride.

Bring back the truck.

Come.

They sent me here

to stop this.

Ricky's truck is clean.

Okay.

Let him go.

It wasn't always this way.

Some places, maybe.

But here, things were

always contained.

I can help you.

Ready to roll, pocha?

Whatever you were paying Arturo,

it's not enough.

You want a raise already?

This is Arturo's phone.

Why do you have it?

Andres, come!

I've given the Sergeant permission

to run patrols on our land.

Nice truck!

This is my truck.

Now, I need you to tell me

everything, right now.

And don't lie to me.

This is my whole life.

Don't you see that?

I could lose everything.

He's dead.

No.

I told you she never should

have come to stay with us.

Andres, no.

Everything out of her mouth

is garbage.

If she doesn't know

how to be good,

then it's your job

to teach her.

Arturo wanted more.

There are people who struggle and

people who get what they want.

I want more.

Yeah?

Is this what more

looks like to you?

"Pocha"?

You know what that means?

Yeah, I know what it means.

It means you're a fraud.

Fruit is either

ripe or rotten.

Not both.

You can stay,

tell the truth.

Or you take this truck

and you go.

Pocha? What's up?

How about that truck?

Do you like it?

Where are you?

Tell me you need me.

Tell me you need me.

Say it.

Say it.

Say it.

Say it.

Tell me you need me.

I need to get out of here.

We're almost done.

No, I need to get

out of here tonight.

Everything is set up

for tomorrow.

What changed?

Just one more run.

And then we'll move on.

And tomorrow

you'll take me across?

Anywhere you want to go.

Good evening.

You can pass.

It's not time for you to go.

There are still things

you need to learn here.

You understand me, don't you?

Stay here with us.

Sometimes when you love someone,

you have to forgive them.

Even when you don't want to.

You will lose her again.

I tried, Mom.

Some things can't be fixed.

There are only

two types of people.

Those who care about others.

And those who only

care about themselves.

Which one are you?

He's here.

Stay in the truck.

Gentlemen.

There's a change.

A change?

What do you mean, a change?

Don't f*** with us.

There's a change because

there's a change, okay.

Hey.

Come out.

We need to talk.

Don't leave yet.

Count the suitcases!

F***.

Where's Andres?

He went to look for you.

Hey.

Who else is with you?

No one.

I told you,

my family has nothing to do with this.

Turn around!

Turn around.

He set me up.

Shut up.

Good men died

because of you.

I didn't know about the others...

Move.

Put them in the truck.

Put them in the truck.

Now.

Okay.

This is gonna end up

bad for you.
