Priceless
We're all on a journey.
A road.
Full of delays, dead ends.
With bright and beautiful views,
and storm clouds
and darkness, too.
It seems somewhere along the way
I took a wrong turn
that led me somewhere
I didn't wanna go.
And now,
I'm just trying to
find my way back.
So, I'll keep on driving.
Keep on searching.
This is my journey.
In case you get thirsty
in the bathroom, huh?
No.
It's so don't nobody
steal the key.
Yeah, I mean...
I got that.
Hey...
You know what,
let me take one of these.
And, uh...
Put the rest towards the tank.
What you hauling there, son?
Nothing.
some of that nothing to start hauling, huh?
It wasn't always this way.
I was a good man once.
A father.
A husband.
But I lost the woman I loved,
and I have myself to blame.
And ever since,
it's been hard to keep going.
Keep a job.
So they came
and they took my little girl away.
And now I'm a man in despair.
Desperation makes
you do funny things.
I told him I wouldn't
transport drugs.
He said,
"Don't ask, don't tell."
It was a simple job.
Just drive that truck.
Rain and hail or shine.
Straight through.
Those are their orders.
But what was I carrying?
And who was I meeting?
seeing things.
I knew something wasn't right.
And then it happened.
And I never even saw it coming.
Hey, this is Chad.
- Leave a message.
- -Crap.
Hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, okay.
Do you speak any English?
Are you...
Are you hurt? Are you okay?
It's disgusting back here.
How long's it been?
Look...
You can ride in front
with me, if you clean yourselves off, okay?
S?
No, no, no.
Calm... No, no, no.
Calm down. Calm down.
Here.
It will help keep you warm.
You know?
It'll help keep you Fuego.
Fuego?
Ah...
Suit yourself.
Gracias.
No problemo.
Hey, we gotta stop for gas
and, no offense,
but you still...
You both kind of stink.
You can clean off
better in the el bao.
S?
Let's go.
All right, no...
No talking to anyone.
Don't want anybody
to get in trouble.
Let's keep this quick.
Hey, hey, hey.
That dress is, uh...
Drying it off is not
gonna make it any better.
Go ahead. Take it.
It's on me.
Looks like it'll fit
and it's clean.
All right. Now, sure.
You get one, too.
Hurry up and change
while I pay. Okay?
- It's time to go.
- Hey, I'm not done talking
to the pretty girls, okay?
We gotta go.
I said no talking.
Get in.
Hey, Ma.
Daddy.
Emerson. Hey, sweetie.
Where's Grandma?
Taking a nap.
I called you.
You did. I see that.
When are you gonna come see me?
Well, I've been thinking.
How about in two days?
Really?
Shh. I'm coming close
to Grandma's town.
I was thinking I'd drop by.
How's that sound?
You're my favorite
out of everyone.
I wanna live with you again.
You're my favorite, too, kiddo.
I want to live with you as well.
Soon. Okay?
I love you, Daddy.
I love you, too,
and I miss you so much.
I miss you.
Bye.
They think it would be better if you
went with Grandma for a little while.
But I want to
stay with you, Daddy.
I know, sweetie.
It's time, James.
Em, you ready to come inside
with Grandma, honey?
Come on, sweetie.
It's okay.
- So, come on.
- Come on.
It's okay.
I need you to be a big girl
for Daddy, all right?
Can you do that for me?
I love you.
I love you so much, sweetie.
It's all right.
You should feel lucky.
She's going to be
with your mother and not some stranger.
Good evening.
The three of you need a table?
Please.
A cheeseburger, please.
And French fries.
Um... The same
for me, please.
Make that three.
The counter okay?
- Yes.
- Sure.
You both speak English?
This entire time?
Yes.
We have heard stories
of bad men in America.
We thought
Spanish would be safer.
We hope you understand.
Of course.
I am so hungry.
She's Maria?
You are...
Antonia.
And I'm James.
And you don't need to be
afraid of me, all right?
We want to thank you
for helping us
and for these beautiful dresses.
You're welcome.
You're here on purpose, right?
I mean, you want to be here?
Mmm-hmm.
We are from Tenancingo.
In Mexico.
Our father owed
some local men some money.
We are sisters.
Yes.
Um...
We must work to pay the debt.
Work?
Waitress, maid.
Big dreams, huh?
I want to be a singer.
Like Taylor Swift.
Do you like Taylor Swift?
No.
Mmm-hmm.
You have a family?
Just a daughter.
My...
My wife died.
I am sorry.
Eat up. We need to...
We need to keep going.
"Let all you do
be done in love."
It's a reminder.
I have a reminder too.
A similar message.
I don't know about that.
No? You do not believe?
Went knocking a few times.
Turned out no one was home,
so I leave him alone
and he leaves me alone.
It makes me sad.
What makes you sad?
That you think we are alone.
We are never alone.
Alone's fine with me.
And what about your daughter?
What about her?
She is not alone
because she has you,
even when she cannot see you.
S?
I hope so.
It is the same.
I will pray for you.
Thanks, I guess.
What is wrong?
I wanna show you something.
Hey, would you
take a picture of me in front of all this,
so I can send it to my daughter?
Oh, sorry.
Thanks.
What is her name?
Emerson.
I am a daughter
who misses her father.
And I see a father
who misses his daughter.
So, um... We gotta go.
I hate to ask this,
but I need you both
to get in the back.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want
anyone to get in trouble.
You are a good man, James.
I'm trying.
- Can I help you?
- Um...
Yeah, I'm here with a truck.
Okay.
Right.
You need a room or what?
No.
Never mind.
- Qu pasa?
-Hello.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How was your trip?
- It was fine.
Okay, good.
Good. No bad weather?
No problems? No accidents?
No, I... I mean, I got run
off the road at one point,
but other than that it was fine.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
You didn't get hurt or nothing?
No.
The front of the truck
got a little beat up.
Ah, don't worry about the front.
I don't worry about
the front of the truck.
It's just the cargo.
Very important.
Oh, that's good too.
It is?
With no lock, huh?
Hmm?
I'm kidding with you.
It's okay.
If it's okay, it's okay.
Right? It's okay.
Come on.
Come on. Please, please.
Welcome to America!
Yes!
Come with me.
Careful. Now, watch it.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Good.
Careful, careful, careful.
My friend, thank you very much.
Job well done,
very good working with you.
- Thank you, my friend.
- Okay.
Good. Good, good, good.
the girls, por favor.
Go ahead, ladies, hop in.
What's up?
Is this
more comfortable than the big truck?
You know who that goes to?
Yeah.
Hey, the girls,
where are you taking them?
Not your problem.
Happy trails.
Just relax.
Let's go get some
food or something.
Do you know what's
going on out there?
Nah.
But by the looks of it,
