So terrible.

The serpents want to get out.

They're going to get out.

Breathe, Alma.

Breathe.

The snakes are coming.

Yes, Alma.

They are coming.

Let go of the snakes. Let go of the snakes.

Let go of the snakes.

Let go of the snakes. Let go of the snakes.

Let go of

the snakes.

Let go of the snakes.

Didn't I tell you Chingata jungle fucks no fire?

The fucking border patrol's got fucking helicopters out here everywhere.

Listen, I don't say things for shits and giggles.

When I tell you something, I mean it.

Listen to me, God damn it.

Now listen, amigo.

I'm out here risking the scorn of my countrymen for your sorry ass.

You want to fuck with me?

I'll leave you both out here to die.

Los Angeles.

Para la medicina especial de mi alma.

Now you got one minute to pack your shit and we're moving out.

We're El Paso bound and then it's adios, muchachos. No.

Quiero ir a Los Angeles.

What the fuck are you saying, boy, in English?

Los Angeles.

Para la medicina especial de mi alma. Los Angeles.

That's a 16 -hour drive, dipshit. You ain't got the dinero.

Give me 500 bucks and I'll get you on a train.

No, no tengo más dinero, señor.

300, because she's sick.

Don't waste my motherfucking time.

And pick up your goddamn garbage!

Something bit me, goddamn it!

Shit, man, what was that, a rattlesnake?

That didn't sound like no rattler.

I hate goddamn snakes.

What the fuck?

Los Angeles.

Vámonos rápido.

No, bro.

Me voy a morir. No, no te vas a morir.

No.

Hay que ser fuerte, ¿me entiendes?

Vamos a Los Angeles a ver mi tío.

Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.

This one's taken.

Los Angeles?

Si.

Los Angeles.

But we paid for this, Carmen.

Twenty bucks a piece to the guy, luggage guy.

It's ours.

Por favor.

Por favor, señor.

Look, I would love to have both of you on the train, but, uh...

My friends.

They will be upset.

We must get on.

Please.

I'm so tired.

Come on.

At least we can have something.

Someone ready to look at, eh?

Pretty nice, eh?

First class.

Hey, what's up, Chico?

Who's he?

I thought you were the cop.

Hey, these two want to ride with us.

Did they pay?

No, they have to pay.

Oh, yeah.

Pestles. U .S. dollars only.

Pestles are only good for wiping your ass here, chica.

I'll pay for them.

They're my friends.

That's enough.

Keep your money for him, boy.

Miguel.

It's okay, brujo.

Miguel is a friend of mine from childhood.

Are you a locadones?

Yes, Chiapas.

I recognize the cloth.

My grandfather's from Chiapas.

Alma, you don't look well.

I need to rest, Miguel.

Brujo, Alma, come with me.

And have you packed your own bag? Yes, I have.

And have your bags been with you at all times?

Yes, they have.

And how long is it to Los Angeles?

16 hours and 57 minutes. You'll be there by lunchtime tomorrow.

Yeah, it's quite a long ride.

Um, yeah.

Oh, over here, dude.

Dude, let's, like, put our stuff down, like, go to the food car.

Food car.

I'm down for that.

Are you guys kidding? We are surfing first thing in the morning. We are

sleeping.

Dude, Coop, man, why you gotta be such a vagina?

So where's that sleeping car of yours?

It's right down the hallway.

Yeah, I kind of wanted it, but you can have it. There's the conductor. Excuse

me, sir.

Can we go to the snack bar?

It's too late for a snack, sweetie.

Tickets?

Did you pack your own bag? Yes.

We're just looking for the sleeper car.

Down this aisle, straight back, just a couple of cars. Oh, thanks. I have to go

to the bathroom.

No, no, don't, don't.

It's on your way.

Excuse me, dude.

Good evening, Mr. Double.

Good evening, Frank.

Another convention?

Oh, you know us electrical engineers.

Never a dull moment.

Sounds like fun. Oh, should be the time of my life.

Bag's been with you at all times?

Enjoy your trip, Mr. Double.

Thanks, Frank. If we really want to be in Hollywood, we could get a great place

in Laurel Canyon if you're willing to share with a few other people.

I don't think we'll have to share.

Okay, yeah, did you win the lottery, Crystal?

Maybe I go to a big TV show already.

Yeah, that must be it.

Tickets, please.

Have your bags been with you at all times?

Yes, sir.

These? Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

What, him?

That's his job, Crystal.

He asks the people for their tickets.

All the people.

You don't have to say it like that.

What's wrong?

That guy over there has been staring at us since we got on.

What guy?

The Middle Eastern guy. Don't look.

He's freaking me out.

Well?

Let's just go to the dining cart and we can look for more apartments here.

Okay, Bill, we're all set.

Let's go.

Ladies, we're about to depart.

Hold the train!

Two seconds later and you would have missed us.

Take care.

Thank you.

Enjoy your trip.

Imalach kahao kati yoshe chela.

Imalach kahao kati yoshe chela.

They're growing.

Even the ones from tonight.

Put them away.

I don't want to see them.

No, I'm not.

First I must make...

Close to you, Alma.

You'll keep all the parts of you together until we

get to Los Angeles.

When we get to Los Angeles, my uncle can put the snakes back in you and make

you whole again.

My uncle, he can do so much more for you than I can.

I wonder what it's like to be dead.

I think it's cold.

And we're alone.

No.

I think it's bright.

And warm.

And we're with the people.

We love them all.

What?

What is it?

What's wrong?

My back.

And they want to come out.

My God.

What's the matter with her?

Please leave.

Hey, I just want to get some weed for me and my boy.

Chuck, go.

You should try being nicer to people, man.

Maybe I should go find my friend in the baggage car and have him kick both of

you off the train.

No Los Angeles?

What are you doing to her, man? Let me see.

I bet you're a dope smuggler.

What the fuck?

Are you okay, man?

Hey, what's up, man? Kill that fucker!

That loco brujo.

Fuck.

What the fuck is that shit, freak?

Excuse me, do you have the time?

Watch not working?

You got me.

Now I'm embarrassed.

Don't be.

It's fine.

My watch says 110.

What does yours say?

Oh, right around the same.

So, coming or going?

Going.

Meeting.

I hate planes, you know.

L .A.'s home for me.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. And I just came from a long visit at my mother's house. I was way too

long.

Hey,

you want a brownie?

She gave me a ton.

Sure.

Sure.

What the?

What was that?

What? I don't know. It was like a rat or something. It shot past my foot.

Cool. I told you this shit was good, man.

Wow.

Those are really good.

Really good.

Did you brush your teeth, sweetie?

No. Why not?

I couldn't.

You have to brush your teeth, Lonnie, every night.

But there was a snake in the bathroom.

A snake?

Uh -huh.

Mitch?

Mitch, wake up!

Mitch!

Mitch!

Is it too much to ask that I get some sleep up here?

Lonnie says she saw a snake in the bathroom.

I saw one. I really did.

Lonnie?

Sweetheart?

There's no snakes on the train.

How would they get in?

Maybe you were just dreaming, sweetie.

You two never believe me.

Hey, I have an idea.

Let's go look in the bathroom together.

Hmm?

So where did you sit, honey?

On the floor.

On the floor.

Honey, take a breath and see if we can go to bed, okay?

But I did see me today.

That was him!

Be careful, Mommy.

See, honey, no snake.

You can brush your teeth tomorrow, okay?

Come on.

All right, hop into bed, sweetie.

Le pont mal fiasse, alma serpiente

Le

pont

mal fiasse, alma serpiente

Did you

pick up

all the snakes?

Yes.

My grandfather used to be a village medicine man in Oaxaca.

Where did she start from?

Serpientes Diabolicas.

Devil of Snakes.

It was a curse.

Her parents had chosen a man for her to marry.

His wealth would have been very good for their family.

But Alma chose to go against her wishes and run away with me instead.

Her family did this to her.

Sorry.

Alma.

Alma.

Here are your snakes.

Your snakes are back.

It's weak!

What did you get us out of this fucking thing, huh?

We won't tell no one about this.

We promise.

I can't get this thing.

It's just a piece of fucking rope, man. Use your teeth.

I'm not using my teeth.

Use your teeth.

I'm not going near that thing. Think.

When Chico gets back here, man, he's going to stab your ass.

Or maybe his friend is going to stop the train so the cops can get you and your

little friend.

Huh?

Comprend the freak.

The freak.

Your mother's... I can't smell the carpet cleaner.

Throw your ass. We're going to throw your ass back in the sanitarium where

belong, loco.

Just leave him alone, Julio.

It's not worth it.

Are we almost to your uncle's house?

Yes. We'll be there by morning. By morning?

Long time, Bruno.

I feel like I'm crying on the side.

Too much of you is in the snakes.

I think we're going to have to bring them back in.

No.

Just a little.

Just keep going for more hours.

No, Alma.

My uncle must change them back and put them in right.

I need them.

I

kind

of did a bad thing.

Who'd you sleep with?

It's not like that.

It's about Mark.

Crystal, we're not talking about Mark. If I never heard his name again, it

be too soon.

I thought we were leaving all that shit behind us.

We are.

But he heard we were going out to California.

He heard?

I told him.

Anyway, he wanted us to have money for the trip.

I hope he didn't borrow any.

No, he gave it to me.

What?

How much?

Is it real?

Of course, $5 ,000.

That's crazy. Why would Mark give you $5 ,000?

All I have to do is take something to a friend of his that lives in L .A.

What friend?

A guy called Maurice.

Crystal, you promised me.

What do you have to take?

Don't point.

Jesus, Crystal.

What?

I thought I was doing something for us.

Now we can live in a nice place. And Mark said that I can do this once a

and make a lot of money.

You're freaking me out.

How was that?

Here.

It's all the food I had.

Couldn't you... Couldn't you feed it to your wife first?

The snakes are her.

But I respect the old ways and the power of your spells, but she needs to see a

doctor. No.

Somebody could take an x -ray or do a blood test.

No. It could save her life.

She has a snake.

There's no doctor who will see this.

It's a curse. No one will understand it. It's very old magic.

Only the old ways can cure it.

Is there any more?

No.

Anywhere?

Not with us, but there's plenty of food on the rest of the train.

Meat? Of course.

If you want, I can go find some.

No one can see you.

I'll be careful.

All right.

She doesn't have much time.

Snakes are getting angry.

They're gone.

What?

Alma.

Alma.

Alma.

Anybody in this one?

I don't want to get caught.

I'd rather get caught than go back to that fucking car with that priest, man.

What the fuck with that guy, man? That guy with the priest in my eyes is still

fucking burning, man.

I'm not going back to Mexico.

No one's going back anywhere, man. This car's closed, man.

They're set right here.

Yeah. There might be people in the next one. We should stay here.

Follow me, man.

Maybe Chico will come back this way.

Listen, Chico only cares about himself, okay?

That's why he left us with that witch guy.

Besides, his friend probably got him on his feet in the other car.

Listen, you got a light?

What for?

This is what for.

That freak's back. I found it, man.

You're a fool, man. This is the one that Chico was talking about.

It's got all sorts of goodies in here, man.

Here you go.

I'm going to go back and give this to you.

I'm not going back there, man.

Well, then toss it on the other side of the door or something.

I told you we should just leave it.

I'm telling you.

You should have left him alone.

Here we go.

Jackpot.

That's not marijuana, man.

What are you talking about, man? That's probably some fucking good crap.

You gotta grow some balls, man. Seriously, man, you gotta grow some

you do the honors.

I'll hold this for you.

Open it up.

Open it up.

We'll go.

her snakes back.

But you can keep the ones that belong to you.

Holy fuck!

I thought it was just some pot.

You've got to dump this.

What? No fucking way, Summer.

Crystal, this is stupid.

What? I thought I was doing something for us.

Think of what this money can do.

Do you want to be a waitress?

You know what? You're going to call Mark and tell him to get his ass to Los

Angeles and take this stuff himself.

And then you're going to give him his money back.

How do you feel?

Serious. Excuse me.

He's trying to get to the other side there.

All right, Crystal, we're staying right here until we get to Union Station.

No bathroom.

Nothing.

We're not risking anything.

I'm not getting caught.

Okay?

Okay.

Would you two like anything?

Yeah, two cups of coffee, please.

He's in there.

Snakes.

Hold on. Hold on.

You can't just come in here like that. You got a ticket?

Ticket? You're weird about a fucking ticket.

This makes no sense.

Hold on. Hold on.

She's coming your way.

Yes, sir, Mr. James. I'll keep my eyes open until the police come.

See that?

Ew! What the fuck was that?

Pretty scary, some of the PPC on these trains at night.

Leave us alone, Pearl.

All right.

Now, you and I are going to go somewhere and have a talk.

Bring the bag.

You're not a cop. You look like a dealer.

Don't get smart with me, Compton.

Just sit your ass down, shut the fuck up, and do your friend a favor and be

here.

I was married once.

Me too.

Once.

Nice feeling, huh? The best.

God, what happens?

I mean, you start out thinking that your marriage is going to be the one to

laugh. You know, beat the statistics.

And then you can't believe it when you're joining the ranks of the

Exactly. Exactly.

What, are we all just kidding ourselves?

I mean, seriously.

It's not going to hurt anybody.

Okay, let's get you down where I can see you.

Okay? Yeah.

Here we go.

My God, you're high as a kite.

Okay. Two chienas perblema. Okay?

Sientese.

Sientese. Okay?

Yeah, okay.

And silencio.

Silencio.

Silencio. Hello.

We got ourselves a pretty nasty stowaway down here, and he's higher than a kite.

No, I don't know what it is.

He's incoherent, just babbling nonsense.

Will you call the Benson, Arizona station and ask them if we can make an

emergency stop?

Have their local police tow him the train.

Great. Thanks.

I need to go home.

He'll be back soon with some food for you.

Then the two of you can get back to whatever it was he was doing to help

He loves me.

He's happy.

I just think that some real doctors and real medicine can do more for you.

Only Brujo can help you now.

Brujo.

Why'd you do this to her?

She's bleeding.

All right.

Makes me feel better.

I'm sorry, I don't know. They know.

They know what?

That we are here.

They're going to stop the train.

We must get out and hide in the shadows until they search the train.

I can't.

I can't go out there for hours and hide behind a cactus.

I'll die.

I'd rather die here than down there.

I will not let you.

Take this.

She mustn't eat much. Take a bite.

Feed the rest of the snakes.

Me?

Be calm.

Be relaxed.

They will not bite you if you are calm.

Take this.

There's stuff in there that she needs.

My uncle's address.

In case they have it.

Take her there. She must get there.

Tell him I send you.

This train will not...

Sit. Sit.

You scared?

Should be.

You ever do anything like this before?

Huh? Smuggle drugs?

Yeah, of course not.

You're a good girl, right?

Got mixed up with the wrong people.

Are you really a cop?

Yeah, yeah. Our snarks don't exactly wear the standard -issue mustache and

cut. Kind of blows your cover.

Are you really going to arrest me?

We may be able to avoid that.

If you cooperate.

You want to cooperate?

Of course you do.

You're not a criminal, right?

You're a good girl.

Yes, I'm so sorry. This will never happen again.

All right, then.

I'll do everything in my power to make sure you stay out of jail.

Who are you giving it to in L .A.?

A guy named Maurice.

Mark.

Look.

I can go a few ways on a thing like this.

Now, either I put you in jail, or I put a wire on you.

You give me what you're making off this little drop, and I'll bury your file.

You're safe.

I'm happy.

I don't usually do things like this, but I like you.

Does that sound like a deal?

Yeah. Huh? Thank you.

get money

I've got hope for you

Yeah, here.

Let me guess, Maurice.

Fuck Maurice.

Well, whoever the fuck you are, I'm a fucking Texas state narcotics officer,

if you don't get that fucking gun out of my fucking jaw, you're going to be in a

world of shit.

I think what you meant to say is ex -narcotics officer.

Rot fucking camel fucker.

Hoover, you stupid hick bastard, how are you?

Do you have what used to be Maurice's package for me?

Out there.

Okay, well you just stay right here.

When I come back, we can go get that together.

Hoover, you ready to go?

Let's go.

Are you getting a doctor or anything? I think he's really sick.

I assure you, everything's under control. The authorities have been

I think he needs some help.

You got that right.

I'm sorry, you two.

Let me take him to the next car.

It's empty.

Okay, don't worry.

When we stop, we'll get him a doctor.

You're going to need a lot more than that, son.

This is all right.

I'm cool.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, now have a seat. Have a seat.

Okay.

It'll be a couple more minutes until we get you off the train.

When you get throw up, throw up into this, okay?

Okay.

I need your name and address, your nationality.

Nombre.

Por favor.

Por favor, nombre.

You got on the wrong train Tarzan.

This train must not stop.

I was like, clipping along.

I thought we were supposed to be stopping.

I guess not.

Quit it.

Quit it, man.

Shut up.

I'm trying to sleep. Then quit touching me.

What the fuck was that?

Just calm down, man.

It's like a dog licked my leg, man.

There it is.

Hey, look.

Hi, iguana.

Hi. I don't see anything.

I'm going to call him Jub -Jub.

You think they'll let me take him?

Take what?

I don't see anything.

That iguana, dude.

Whatever it was, it just went by me.

Hey, man, check this out.

What is it?

I don't know. I think an iguana?

Railroad!

This

is

Southern Pacific Desert Railroad.

Do you read me?

This is Southern Pacific Desert Railroad. Does anybody read me?

I read you, Southern Pacific.

We have a runaway train.

We have a runaway train.

Runaway train.

I repeat, we have a runaway train.

Go, go, go!

There are snakes on our train car.

Frank. There's a problem in the engine room.

What kind of problem?

Problem in the engine room. What kind of problem, Frank?

Get in the fucking cell.

This?

Get in the fucking cell.

You.

All right, now, when are you going to fucking lock me in here?

I'm not locking you in there, Hoover. No, I'm just going to send your goofy

cowboy ass straight to hick heaven.

Nice one.

Perfect. To hick heaven. Will there be 97 virgins there waiting for me? No, but

there'll be 97 bullets in you first.

God damn it.

Bharat?

Look.

We're both here for the same fucking thing. We're not both here for the same

fucking thing. I didn't come here to force myself on little girls like you

They're not little girls, Bharat. I saw them. No, trust me.

No, trust me.

And you know what? Why don't you take off your shirt?

Go on, take off your fucking shirt, Hoover.

Come on.

No, you come on. Take off the fucking shirt. I'm not taking off my fucking

shirt. Hoover, take off your fucking shirt.

Anything going?

Fuck.

Pretty sure you're the only one turned on by this, Hoover.

I just want everybody who walks in this train car to see what a faggot you were

when they find you dead.

Fuck.

No, no, por favor, no.

What was that?

Mommy, I'm scared.

What the hell was that?

Mitch! Mitch, wake up, Mitch! Mitch!

So what are you going to do in L .A.? I'm going to be my girlfriend.

Oh. Show her I care. Okay.

Yeah. Who's her name?

Katie. Katie?

Yeah.

Oh, that's pretty sweet.

Snake. What?

Snake. Here, here, here. You can sleep with that. Sleep with that.

Alma, here I am.

Alma!

Alma!

No!

No! No! No! No!

No! No! No!

No!

Where is Alma?

Where is my Alma?

Where?

Oh my god!

I'm a serpentus!

There's another one over there. No!

Wait,

we still gotta find them. There's two of them.

Wires. I need wires. Don't we have any wires?

We can cut them from somewhere else?

Yeah.

Hang on. What about me?

Hang on. Yeah, hang on. Hang on.

Alma!

Alma!

Where's Alma?

You too, but I'm here now.

No.

I think it's going to be warm and bright.

And you'll be surrounded by the people you love the most.

No! Help! Help me kill her! Use your magic!

Use your own magic!

No! No!

Get off me!

I promise.

Put them back.

Put them back.

Thank you. Thank

you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go.

God's hand over.

Baby, there's no snakes in Hawaii.

Maybe there's no snakes at all.

Haunted by a sense of terror.

Where the hell did it come from?

Baby, there's no snakes in Hawaii.

Maybe that's where you could run.

Shading your radar faster than a heartache. Figure out what you've done.

Bobby changed and I said, how can we make it in this town?

And he tells me, if your rich daddy lives next to an

A &R man, you got no soul. Your music don't rock and your lyrics don't roll.

Oh, so do me.

Oh, God, you're so hot.

Produce me.

It sounds a little more like Creed.

Dress me.

Let your...

is rich.

No! I can't rock, so I stroke my own cock.

I jangle my guitar and let one of God.
