Or let's suppose that...

he got across the border

and made it here.

Where the hell is he gonna go?

He doesn't even have our address. Tell me.

Huh?

You're right. I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I'll be leaving now.

I want you to have this.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too.

All passengers leaving for El Paso...

please proceed to Bus 21

for final boarding.

Hey, kid.

What are you doing here?

- Why don't you come with us, all right?

- No. I'm with my friend.

Is that your friend?

- All right, kid. Come on.

- No.

Let's go. Let's go.

Relax, kid. Let's go. Stop fighting.

Relax. Come on.

- Come on, now. Come on.

- No.

Come on.

Hey! Leave him alone!

- It's okay, kid. You're safe.

- Hey!

- Goddamn it! Don't move!

- Run!

- Bring him back this way.

- Get out of here! Run!

- Come here!

- Run!

Are you crazy?

- What about the kid?

- Let him go. We'll call it in.

Mama!

Mama!

- Mommy!

- Carlitos!

No, no. Don't cross!

- Mom!

- Carlitos!

Mom.

I'm here!

Sweetheart.

#I'm not afraid of danger#

# A life without risk

isn't worth living #

# And when it comes to loved ones #

# You have to find the way #

# I won't give up #

# Until I have you close to me #

# For love #

# I can stop a bullet

with my chest #

# For love #

# I will cross against all odds #

# Love is what drives us #

# On earth and in heaven #

# And so for love I will cross #

# The border without fear#

#Tired, in pieces #

# Hurling compasses to the ground #

# A giant crosses the desert #

# Even ifhe does look small up close #

# He is wet, forbidden #

# His mother unaware of the adventure #

# The way is full of dangers #

# But distance has no cure #

# She would receive postcards #

# With orders to give her#

# A million illegal kisses #

# He had a washed out hope #

# That one morning #

# Their two gazes would meet #

# Two gazes #

# Two undocumented gazes #

# Two gazes #
