35.

DONALD:

Wipe your ass.

Horacio laughs. He readjusts his baseball cap, like a

pitcher, then takes the stones and fires off three stones at

PLASTIC BOTTLES some thirty feet away. Each one falls down.

The Immigrants gasp impressed.

SAYRA:

Do it again.

Horacio quickly fires of three more stones at the reset

plastic bottles.

The Immigrants are doubly amused. Horacio holds out his hand

to collect the lempiras. Donald pays up.

30 INT. MARA HOUSE - DAY 30

El Bomba, El Smokey, El Piqaro, El Casper and El Smiley watch

80’s rock ballad music videos on a television with a highly

improvised antenna system.

Visible in another room, Lil’ Mago and El Sol discuss

something quietly.

SOL:

It’s hard, but you’re the Primera

Palabra. You got to be the

example, the meanest, the illest,

that’s why you are respected.

(BEAT)

You have something I didn’t have,

jomi, that’s why I and the Barrio

chose you.

Casper looks at them, but Sol shuts the door.

El Bomba brushes his teeth, when he’s done he gives the

toothbrush to El Bomba. When he’s done he’ll give it to El

Smokey, and so on until Smiley...

MARIA and Kimberly sit around Smiley.

EL BOMBA:

(to Smiley)

Smiley, do you wear anything else

besides your school uniform?

They laugh at him.

36.

MARIA:

Ah, it’s cute.

Maria ruffs up his hair.

SMILEY:

(shyly)

My Grandma hasn’t done laundry yet.

El Turbino pulls off his shirt and throws it to Smiley.

EL TURBINO:

You can have it.

Smiley looks at the shirt, excited, it’s a nice button up.

Kimberly sits between El Bomba and El Casper. She whispers in

their ears...

KIMBERLY:

Don’t let your friend kiss her.

She motions to Maria, who flirts with Smiley wearing his new

shirt.

EL BOMBA:

Why?

KIMBERLY:

She just gave El Sol a blow job.

El Casper looks at El Bomba. Both of them watch Smiley.

Maria kisses him on his ear as he fumbles to brush his teeth.

After he puts the toothbrush down, they begin to tongue each

other. El Turbino and El Bomba can’t contain their laughter.

El Sol and Lil’ Mago enter the room.

EL LIL’ MAGO

Meeting. Let’s go.

31 EXT. COLONIA CONFETI BRIDGE - DUSK 31

El Casper, Smiley, El Lil' Mago, El Bomba and about THREE

DOZEN of El Lil' Mago’s clica of Mara Salvatruchas walk

across the bridge.

32 EXT. CEMETERY - DUSK 32

The Maras sit in a circle. El Lil' Mago is finishing up

speaking...

37.

EL LIL' MAGO

...We still need more cash to buy

food and supplies for our homies in

prison. We could also use cash for

El Serpiente’s Mom who’s sick and

needs medicine... Lastly, some of

our homies are failing at their

responsibilities. The f***ing

diecioyo’s are right on top of us,

none of you can be sleeping...

there will be cortes for this.

Casper, Smiley, you lied to me.

Casper looks up, surprised.

EL LIL’ MAGO

Where’d you go? After La Bombilla?

Smiley looks back and forth between Lil’ Mago and Casper.

EL LIL’ MAGO

Smiley? Where’d you guys go?

Smiley’s frozen. Unable to decide whether to lie or tell the

truth.

EL LIL’ MAGO

That’s what I thought. Both of you

will receive cortes. That’s it for

now. La Mara por vida.

The rest of the Maras raise their hands, “la mara por vida.”

Smiley, completely confused, looks around him for answers,

but no one talks to him.

Out of the corner of his eye El Casper catches sight of

something and double-takes. It’s Martha Marlen lurking

behind a tomb. He doesn’t know how long she was there, but

she didn’t just show up.

She walks towards him with a hint of self-consciousness. He

jumps to meet her.

EL CASPER:

(hushed)

What the hell are you doing here?

Martha Marlen smiles and kisses him, noticing the girls, and

every one else for that matter, staring at her.

EL CASPER (CONT’D)

You need to leave. Now.

38.

MARTHA MARLEN:

Why?

(at the girls)

Private party?

El Casper grabs her by the arm and starts to walk her out,

but El Lil' Mago cuts them off. El Lil' Mago looks straight

at Martha Marlen.

EL LIL' MAGO

Who’s this?

EL CASPER:

A friend.

Martha Marlen notices Kimberly and Maria staring her down.

EL LIL' MAGO

From Las Guacas?

MARTHA MARLEN:

(insulted)

Parque Hidalgo. Next to the

Cacahuat.n colectivos.

EL LIL' MAGO

Oh. My bad.

EL CASPER:

I was just going to show her out.

EL LIL' MAGO

No. Uh uh.

EL CASPER:

Come on.

EL LIL’ MAGO

I can show her out. Or she can

wait and watch. Which do you

prefer? You’re not going anywhere.

EL CASPER:

(peering hard at Lil’

Mago)

Show her out. Quickly.

El Lil' Mago turns his back to El Casper and walks Martha

Marlen away. She looks back at him confused. He watches her

go.

EL SOL (CONT’D)

Carnal, you ready?

39.

His attention snaps back to El Sol.

EL CASPER:

What?

El Casper stares at El Sol, there is a moment of cold

understanding between them. Realizing his error, he whips

around back towards Martha Marlen -- but she has

disappeared.

WHAM. It’s as if the GROUND comes up to meet his face. El

Bomba stands over him. Others jump in and start beating him.

He jumps to his feet again, fighting to get away.

EL SOL (CONT’D)

26 second corte for lying...

One... two... three...

El Casper fights back, punching and kicking his attackers.

Smiley watches confused. El Sol turns to him...

EL SOL (CONT’D)

You too, Smiley. 13 second corte

for lying with Casper.

Smiley looks up in shock just as he’s knocked in the face.

SEVERAL Mareros kick him over and over again.

33 EXT. CEIBA TREE - DUSK 33

El Lil' Mago walks Martha Marlen down the hill past a

gigantic trunk of a Ceiba tree, some twenty feet in diameter.

On the other side, out of view from the others, El Lil' Mago

stops. He sits down on one of the giant roots.
