Pocha: Manifest Destiny Page #3

---

Andrs, 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.

CLAUDIA:
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.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(PHONE RINGING)

RICKY:
Pocha? What's up?

How about that truck? Do you like it?

Where are you?

(MOANS)

Tell me you need me.

Tell me you need me.

(MOANING)

Say it.

RICKY:
Say it.

(MOANING)

Say it.

(MOANS)

Say it.

Tell me you need me.

(SHUSHING)

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.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Good evening.

You can pass.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

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.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

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.

(GUNSHOTS)

-(THUDS)

-(GASPS)

Hey.

Come out. We need to talk.

(GUNSHOTS)

Don't leave yet.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Count the suitcases!

-(GUNSHOTS)

-(SCREAMING)

(GUNSHOTS)

(MAN SCREAMS)

(ENGINE TURNS ON)

(GUNSHOTS)

F***.

- Where's Andrs?

-(SPEAKING SPANISH)

He went to look for you.

(GUNSHOTS)

Hey.

(INDISTINCT NOISE)

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.

All of you will be arrested.

You and your whole family.

-(GRUNTS)

(HORSE APPROACHING)

-(GUNSHOTS)

-(NEIGHING)

(GUN CLICKING)

(DOOR OPENS)

You should have listened to me.

It didn't have to be so messy.

(GUNSHOTS)

(ENGINE STARTS)

(GROANS)

(MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

This area is under military control.

We will open fire.

Claudia, what are you doing?

(GAS HISSING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

I did this to her.

There's a suitcase in the back

with some money in it.

It's for my mother.

Please take it to her.

I'm not going with you.
