lights in that direction.

This is good.

What is that?

Kill the lights.

Give me your mags.

Follow my lead.

Put your hands up!

Hey!

Put your hands up right now!

Don't move!

I got them up, man.

Take it easy.

Just take it easy, all right?

Who else is here?

Nobody, just me.

It's all clear.

Is that your car outside?

I don't know. I have to see

it to know which one...

The f***ing piece of sh*t out

front, is that your car?

Maybe.

Come on, smart ass.

Walk! Walk!

Stand right there.

Don't move.

Turn around.

All right, all right.

I don't got anything.

Just sit your ass down.

Sit down.

Look, how can I help you guys?

Tell us about the drug

shipment you were picking up.

Oh!

So you boys are in

a little trouble, right?

Because if not, you wouldn't have

broken in here without a warrant

and harassed an old man

like me, right?

And I didn't hear

anything on the radio

about two pericos

being in this zone,

which means nobody knows

that you're here.

Listen,

pardon my manners, man...

Sit down.

Did I say get up?

I didn't tell you to get up. Sit down.

Whoa! Okay, okay.

Okay, man.

My name

is Miguel Hernandez, and...

You don't have a label, and

you've got blood on your hands.

And... you're Davis, huh?

I like it that your name

is right by your face

because it's gonna

make it very easy for me

to identify you out of a lineup

when I sue your f***ing asses.

Sh*t.

Now, which one of you f***ed up?

It's you, ain't it,

huh? Yeah.

I can smell snitches and

b*tches from a mile away.

Shut the f*** up. Who are you

picking up the drugs for?

Who are you hoping

to deliver them to?

You better f***ing tell us.

Listen,

cut out the macho bullshit.

You don't even have

a clip in that gun, huh?

And I bet there's not

a bullet in the chamber.

You wanna talk to me?

We talk like professionals.

And you're not stupid because

you found this f***ing place.

Sh*t. I have problems

finding this place.

Yeah, I found you.

I'm here to question a cartel

errand boy about who his daddy is.

"Errand boy."

Why do you hurt me like that?

That's insulting.

You boys are tough and brave and

all that, but you're misinformed.

You thought that

you were gonna find

the hiding place

of a cartel goon?

But what you did was follow a senior

citizen to his place of employment.

Yeah...

With, I'm guessing,

a truckload of drugs. Huh?

That's enough bullshit.

I know you're

working for the cartel.

I could turn this whole

place out and prove it,

but I'm not here to arrest you.

You understand?

And, yeah, you're right.

Nobody knows we're out here...

No one.

Shut up.

Shut up. Shut up!

Shut the f*** up!

You don't know me,

and you say one more thing about

my family, I'll f***ing kill you!

Shut the f*** up.

Tell me who you're working for.

Put the gun down.

You talk, and it goes away.

Tio.

I don't know what

cartel he works for,

but he's the one who controls all

the traffic around this zone.

You wanna get

in contact with Tio?

Listen, you still

got the stuff, right?

Most of it.

Good, you keep it in

the trunk of your car,

and then you drive to the river,

and you dump it right there.

You splash it down, man.

Drive it to the river.

Yeah.

He's f***ing with us.

Just shoot him.

Listen, the driver, in case...

In case they get corralled

by cowboys like you guys,

they're supposed to

make a run for it.

If they can't

make a clean getaway,

then they're supposed to go to

the river and dump the sh*t.

Tio, he's got a lot of boys working

for him in the river with ferries.

They pick up the merchandise,

they transfer it to another car,

and they send another driver.

It's not hard.

Ferries?

Yeah.

We've been up and down that river

100 times, never seen a ferry.

He's bullshitting us.

F***ing bullshitting us.

Jesus, you f***ing...

Bambi, you're so stupid.

You think you're the only

snitch that's under Tio, huh?

You think you're the only one?

All right, look.

I need to talk to him.

And that's a long river, Miguel.

If I wanna find him,

where would I start?

Um...

What road were you guys on

when you made the stop,

got the drugs and sh*t?

I'd start there. You know,

that's what I would do.

Wanna know the truth? Huh?

I wish to god you

don't find him, all right?

Because from one

errand boy to another...

Man, I've seen horrible

people do horrible things.

Damn! But Tio,

he makes all those criminals look

like Bambi's f***ing mother.

If you find that ferry,

and Tio sees your face,

make sure he

doesn't come out alive.

For all of our sakes.

I will.

I guess we take the car,

drive it off the cliff, do the

splash down, and then we...

Face off against the cartel.

I thought I could protect you.

I know now that you were right.

I can't.

It's 'cause I'm weak.

He saw weakness in me.

No.

Yeah.

It could've been any one of us.

We all have a fear to survive.

Whatever it takes.

That lady cursed me.

No.

That Mayan lady,

I could tell by

the way she was saying

whatever she was saying, she...

She cursed me.

Boy, you were cursed

a long time before this.

Stop!

What are you doing here?

Hey, hey, it's okay.

Just put your hands down.

Hey, Davis, get him some water.

Flores, we don't

have time for this...

Water, just get it for him.

Where did you cross?

Huh?

Did someone bring you over?

Have you seen a ferry?

Huh?

Look at me.

Huh?

Look at me.

Flores, get down!

Alright. Let's get the drugs.

Tio wants the big radio too.

He'll be dead soon.

Davis.

Davis, they're gone.

Ah.

Calm down Perico.

You're injured.

He has a fever.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Just build a fire.

La Migra will see it

from their planes.

They won't find him in time.

You don't know what he got into.

You all keep going.

You know the route by now.

Huh.

I can't leave him to die here.

You all keep going.

Keep that Ridge on your left

and you'll find the road.

Martin will be there.

Help me.

Are you ready to continue?

Yes.

So the radio reports

you made along the way,

those were falsified.

Is that correct?

Yes.

And the mailbox?

Evidence couldn't

find it in aguas frias.

You sure that's

where you saw it?

We need verbal acknowledgment,

Flores.

Yes, that's correct.

I think that covers

everything I need to know.

Again, the agency can,

in no way,

be held responsible for the actions

of a lone, deranged individual.

But, uh,

we do apologize for any pain

that you've endured,

having to go through it.

Well, that's quite

a story, Flores.

Think it's one we'll ask you

to keep to yourself, hmm?

Now, agent Jansen is standing

by to discuss your options.

There's an opening

down in Mcallen

or others on

the northern border,

if you need to

get out of the heat.

We caught two boys the morning

that we brought you in.

And one of them

had a gunshot wound,

and the other one was

carrying a small backpack.

They had $3,000

worth of coke on them.

Is that right?

Okay, so what'd you say

he did again? He...

Brushed out.
