a thing or two.

I was a little off my game.

I got bumped into something,

but how'd I do?

Oh, you were an animal.

You weren't worth a sh*t

even though you started it.

- Come on, man!

- You weren't worth sh*t!

I thought I got someone.

You remind me of pop

a little bit sometimes.

How's that?

I was told when my pop

was a young man,

he'd got in a fight

with the sheriff

and knocked that guy on his ass

in front of a bunch of people

on account of a guy

called him a draft dodger

during the Korean War.

Guy never mentioned anything

to pops again.

- Never said sh*t.

- I believe that.

Chip off the old block,

both of you.

- What happened to you?

- I don't know, man.

- A lover of all things.

- A gentle heterosexual.

Straight.

Straight.

- Go, go, go, go.

- Go get him, Cody!

Get him, boy!

- All right.

- Way to go, Cody.

Good job.

Good roping today.

Your dad would be proud.

S0 how come you never

talk about your father?

Every time his name comes up,

you change the subject.

Why?

Because he was

a very violent man,

and at the same time,

I love him very much.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Hmm.

Well,

last time I saw him,

he came storming

into the kitchen like a maniac,

and you never knew

what set him off...

and as violent as you can

imagine a man can be.

And...

you can only see his hand...

going to my throat,

and then you feel the wall.

And I was just so tired

of being afraid,

so tired that I decided that

that was going to be it.

S0 I stare at him.

And I said,

"Well, go for it."

I said, "Go for it."

And you can see his fist

going by my face

and hitting the wall.

And I opened my eyes,

and I stare at him,

and he looked like a...

demon,

and, um-

and he just walk away.

And that was it.

We're set.

You ready?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Give me a hug.

Oh, I love you so much.

S0 much.

Lock the doors.

We're closed,

but how can I help you?

Hello, Mrs. Isabel?

Yes?

Hi, I'm looking

for Eduardo Valdez.

And who wants to know?

We do,

the Texas Rangers.

Well, he's not here.

He comes and goes.

Oh, I see.

Should I tell him that

you are looking for him?

Yes, please.

I just left my business card.

If he can call me

whenever he has a chance,

- I will really appreciate it.

- I'll do that.

Thank you very much, ma'am.

Have a good night.

- You're welcome, good night.

- Good night.

Be careful out there,

it's kinda dangerous.

- Yeah, take care yourself. Bye.

- Thank you.

I went to Joe's Bar.

Bartender told me there was

a in town,

a new guy,

so I followed him out,

pulled him over.

That's not bad

for a new guy.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Looks great. - Squeezing on it

like it's a pair of titties

ain't gonna get you

any closer to getting a job.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Listen, man-

- Hey, man. Hey, man-

We talk about business here.

This stuff in your hand

has no value.

No value?

Why are you here

if it has no value?

Man:

How are we gonna sell that?

Man:

Let me make a point to you.

You're fighting

for 70% of this, yeah?

You want 70% of zero,

nothing, nada?

Or you want 60% of this?

It's your call.

What do you want?

I want 40% instead of 30.

I'm not doing 30.

No way, man.

No way, a**hole.

Hey, we can talk.

You don't have to call me

an a**hole.

Call me a**hole again, I'm gonna

slap you in the goddamn mouth.

- Just give it a try.

- Just talk.

You want to do business,

to business, but just talk.

- You need me to sell stuff. - I don't need

you. I need somebody to sell stuff.

You think I can't get

somebody else,

you're wrong, my friend,

you're wrong about that.

- Mm-hmm.

- 40.

All right.

Let's do the deal, a**hole.

That comes out your end.

Look my face of concern.

Look your face of concern.

- All right.

- Look my face of celebration.

- All right. Good.

- Yeah, 40. Deal.

Man:

Hey, Sheriff, what's your 20?

Man:

67 and 11.

Man:
Okay, good.

You're right behind me.

Listen,

I got a text from Sam.

It was real vague,

but apparently,

she stumbled on a drug deal

going down

at that warehouse

in Minarosa.

You gotta know this-

your Deputy Rogers

is inside that building.

Man:

10-4

Here you go.

You got a girl?

Man:
No.

You seem sad about it.

- It's not our business, man.

- Huh?

- That's not our business.

- You want to talk business,

let's talk about the $1,000

you owe me that I paid you

to scare a Ranger

and nothing happened.

- What? What? What?

- What do you want?

Want a refund or a credit store

or something?

- Who?

- A store credit.

- In English. What's that?

- A store credit.

- Store credit?

- Yeah. How about that?

That's business,

what you want to talk about.

All right, man,

take from the cut.

- All right? No worries.

- No worries.

It's a good thing for you

and me both

- that kid got killed, too.

- I know.

You'd be in prison-

- Let me see your hands.

- Down, down, down, down!

- Hands behind your back.

- Don't move.

Y'all got here two seconds later

I don't know what.

A**hole.

Yesterday, you were teaching

these kids about drugs,

and now you're

doing this sh*t?

Si!

I don't know who you're

working for, a**hole,

but you're a disgrace

to our profession.

- You understand?

- Answer him.

- Yes, sir!

- Get your ass up.

Get this crap up around here.

Come here. Sit up.

Sit up.

I'll say it again.

There's no Pedro Alvarez.

I'd hit the road

if I were you.

Whatever you say, bud.

Thank you, Mrs. Isabel.

Thank you for helping us.

Oh, you're welcome.

The one that lived in Mexico

and now you live here?

Back and forth.

I'm with the Texas Rangers,

Mr. Alvarez.

And I came to ask you

about Ben and Scott Briggs.

Do you know what happened

to Jimmy Davis

who took care of

Briggs' horses?

In my pueblo,

there is little-

this little tiny bird

that is brilliant red-

rojo, rojo"

red with little black wings.

He flies up

and down the canyon.

And what does he do

all day long?

He lives to catch flies.

Can you help us?

I am very sorry

it didn't work out.

I'm sorry.

Man:

Don't feel bad.

This generation of Mexicans

hate the Texas Rangers.

I know.

Hello, Mr. Scott.

The Texas Ranger Samantha Payne

is waiting in your office.

Oh...

Well, just open the floodgates,

you idiot.

Open the floodgates!

Please be seated.

What can I do for you?

I came to ask you

about Jimmy Davis.

Jimmy Davis?

What about him?

Did you know that your son

and Jimmy Davis had an affair?

No, no, that never happened.

That's just small-town rumors.

That confirms

that they did have an affair.

$0?

I believe his disappearance

was a hate crime.

A hate crime?

How long you been doing

your job, young lady?

Because you have a picture

of a man who is missing,

you come to the simple

conclusion that me

or anyone out here

had anything to do

with this man's disappearance.

You can't go and start arresting

people anywhere you look.

I mean,

everybody has someone to hate.

I have someone.

You have someone.

And let me tell you something.
