00:
44:40,177 -- 00:44:41,405

Tell him to give us the address.

425

00:
44:41,478 -- 00:44:44,003

He doesn't know the address.

He only knows how to get there.

426

00:
44:44,081 -- 00:44:45,070

Great. That's Crip-land.

429

00:
45:55,953 -- 00:45:57,511

- Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

438

00:
45:57,588 -- 00:45:58,987

Yeah, but in which one?

439

00:
45:59,289 -- 00:46:01,814

I don't know, I'm sorry.

440

00:
46:02,326 -- 00:46:05,955

Excuse me, sir. We're looking for a friend.

441

00:
46:11,668 -- 00:46:13,226

We're gonna have to go door to door.

442

00:
46:13,303 -- 00:46:15,567

No, no, hold on.

You say he took your phone, right?

443

00:
46:17,407 -- 00:46:18,396

Yeah.

444

00:
46:20,277 -- 00:46:21,767

Yeah, yeah.

445

00:
47:04,788 -- 00:47:06,847

Yeah, this is it.

446

00:
47:21,371 -- 00:47:22,531

Santiago?

447

00:
47:22,973 -- 00:47:24,167

Santiago? Wake up.

448

00:
47:25,042 -- 00:47:26,373

Nah, man. If he's here, he's here.

449

00:
47:26,443 -- 00:47:27,501

What's going on?

450

00:
47:27,578 -- 00:47:28,602

Where's Santiago?

451

00:
47:28,679 -- 00:47:29,771

Who are you?

452

00:
47:30,914 -- 00:47:32,973

I'm sorry Miss. We're looking for a friend.

It's urgent.

453

00:
47:34,017 -- 00:47:35,644

What's this guy called?

454

00:
47:35,953 -- 00:47:37,853

Santiago. Do you know where he is?

455

00:
47:39,790 -- 00:47:41,223

Do you know a Santiago?

456

00:
47:41,859 -- 00:47:43,349

Do you know where Santiago is?

457

00:
47:43,460 -- 00:47:45,121

Are you sure? You don't know where he is?

458

00:
47:49,933 -- 00:47:51,332

Santiago!

459

00:
48:12,956 -- 00:48:15,322

Tell these fools if they don't fess up,

we're callin' la migra.

460

00:
48:15,425 -- 00:48:16,414

No!

461

00:
48:16,493 -- 00:48:17,551

Enough!

462

00:
48:19,329 -- 00:48:21,820

Young man.

463

00:
48:31,875 -- 00:48:33,843

I know Santiago.

464

00:
48:36,980 -- 00:48:38,777

Why are you looking for him?

465

00:
48:41,485 -- 00:48:44,579

I owe him money...

466

00:
48:49,960 -- 00:48:53,191

Sir, he stole my truck.

467

00:
48:59,436 -- 00:49:01,631

He was here yesterday.

468

00:
49:05,108 -- 00:49:11,479

I bought this phone from him for 40 dollars.

Is it yours?

469

00:
49:11,682 -- 00:49:12,808

Yes.

470

00:
49:19,723 -- 00:49:20,917

Ap, no!

471

00:
49:20,991 -- 00:49:21,980

No.

472

00:
49:23,593 -- 00:49:25,993

The boy is right.

473

00:
49:29,099 -- 00:49:30,396

Thank you very much.

474

00:
49:31,234 -- 00:49:33,327

Do you know where I can find him?

475

00:
49:35,138 -- 00:49:39,973

He took his clothes and said he was moving.

476

00:
49:40,310 -- 00:49:41,902

Where to?

477

00:
49:42,446 -- 00:49:45,347

He said he found a place closer to his work.

478

00:
49:46,116 -- 00:49:47,481

Where does he work?

479

00:
49:47,751 -- 00:49:49,184

Some restaurant.

480

00:
49:49,386 -- 00:49:51,320

As a dishwasher. Night shifts.

481

00:
49:51,588 -- 00:49:55,046

During the day,

I think he does construction.

482

00:
49:58,161 -- 00:50:00,288

Ap, is this him?

483

00:
50:03,934 -- 00:50:04,992

Yeah.

484

00:
50:06,470 -- 00:50:07,664

Yeah, yeah. That's him.

485

00:
50:08,805 -- 00:50:11,569

Do you mind if I keep the photo,

to find the place?

486

00:
50:13,543 -- 00:50:15,568

Thank you sir, thank you very much.

487

00:
50:19,082 -- 00:50:21,175

I'm sorry.

488

00:
50:25,622 -- 00:50:26,611

Sh*t.

489

00:
50:27,524 -- 00:50:30,721

Man, don't pay this fool, man.

He didn't take us to Santiago.

490

00:
50:31,161 -- 00:50:32,628

That was not the deal.

491

00:
50:33,630 -- 00:50:35,495

You shouldn't pay him.

492

00:
50:35,966 -- 00:50:37,194

And what?

493

00:
50:37,267 -- 00:50:39,497

Spit in his face? Fight him?

494

00:
50:40,637 -- 00:50:43,299

We had a deal.

He kept his word, I keep mine.

495

00:
50:43,407 -- 00:50:45,898

- No. Give him half!

- Stop talking like an ass!

496

00:
50:57,154 -- 00:51:00,146

- Come on.

- Man, he played us, man.

497

00:
51:48,305 -- 00:51:50,068

What's that?

498

00:
51:54,845 -- 00:51:56,369

Nothing.

499

00:
52:09,092 -- 00:52:12,528

- What time is it?

- 4:
30.

500

00:
52:14,397 -- 00:52:17,230

- Is anyone there?

- No.

501

00:
52:17,300 -- 00:52:19,325

Let's go in the back.

502

00:
52:28,512 -- 00:52:31,640

Guess we gotta wait for this b*tch to show.

503

00:
52:33,250 -- 00:52:34,740

What's that over there?

504

00:
52:36,186 -- 00:52:37,983

That's where they have the charreadas.

505

00:
52:38,355 -- 00:52:40,016

- What?

- The rodeo.

506

00:
52:40,090 -- 00:52:43,116

I took you there with your Aunt Anita,

when you were five.

507

00:
52:43,193 -- 00:52:46,890

- I don't remember.

- Really? You loved it.

508

00:
52:51,568 -- 00:52:52,660

Come on.

509

00:
53:09,786 -- 00:53:11,083

Where these people think they're at?

510

00:
53:11,488 -- 00:53:13,080

Some Halloween party or something?

511

00:
53:15,125 -- 00:53:16,820

This is where I'm coming from.

512

00:
53:17,160 -- 00:53:20,687

This is your people. They're you.

513

00:
53:21,865 -- 00:53:23,730

- They ain't me.

- Really?

514

00:
53:23,833 -- 00:53:26,358

I'll get you a hat and some boots

and we'll see.

515

00:
53:36,713 -- 00:53:38,078

No.

516

00:
53:41,785 -- 00:53:44,447

Oh, now you look at her, when she turn, eh?

517

00:
53:59,236 -- 00:54:01,329

I hate this kind of music.

518

00:
54:01,404 -- 00:54:02,598

What kind do you like?

519

00:
54:03,206 -- 00:54:05,231

Anything but this.

520

00:
54:07,310 -- 00:54:08,641

What's that fool been trying to say?

521

00:
54:16,386 -- 00:54:17,375

Try.

522

00:
54:22,292 -- 00:54:24,055

He's talking about...

523

00:
54:24,127 -- 00:54:28,587

About how jumping horses is dangerous

and it's brave.

524

00:
54:40,543 -- 00:54:42,010

That's dope.

525

00:
55:37,100 -- 00:55:39,762

Is that sherry? It's good.

526

00:
55:52,949 -- 00:55:56,009

What are we gonna do at the nightclub?

527

00:
55:56,086 -- 00:55:58,520

We're just gonna take the truck back.

528

00:
55:58,588 -- 00:55:59,577

How?

529

00:
56:00,824 -- 00:56:02,883

I have a spare key.

530

00:
56:04,627 -- 00:56:08,620

I'm gonna open the door.

Climb in. Start the engine.

531

00:
56:08,698 -- 00:56:10,325

And then we'll drive back home.

532

00:
56:10,400 -- 00:56:11,492

What if it's not there?
