Where you going to me go?

Huh? Why don't you say that? I just drove down from Pasadena to do a little

fishing is all, so if you don't mind.

I got me some cousins up in Pasadena. You came all the way from Houston to

here. Yeah.

In them pants.

With no rod.

Well...

God gave me these hands, so I decided, hey, what the hell?

Let's do a little noodling.

He almost gave me a little catfish there.

Damn near took off my thumb. Now, fellas, y 'all need to just breathe in

air. It's nice. We're all Texans here, okay?

Are we?

Shit. It's all about God, family, and country music.

Now, you know, a lot of people ask me all the time, they say, Hank, what?

do you drink?

Come on. Don't be shy now. Come on with it. To get drunk.

Right, right. Why you roll smoke?

To get stoned.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And why must you live by the songs that you

wrote? To get laid.

Hell yeah. Who doesn't like to get laid? Hey, look at there.

Got some backup singers to guest.

Hey!

That's what I thought.

You almost had me.

Vamos, you... This is crazy.

Nick.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Okay.

Do you speak English?

Yeah, I speak English just fine.

Shit, no accent even. Let me get that.

Careful with that ring.

I'm gonna propose to my girl with that.

Lucky woman.

Muhammad Nager?

Ajar. Ajar. It's your birthday, 9 -11?

It is, actually.

Hilarious.

You'll get this back when you're released.

It's a big mistake.

I'm in the system already.

Yeah.

N -A -J -J. I got it.

You are in the system already. Asylum pending?

See?

Let me just make a call. My lawyer will clear all this up. D -10 -A phone's

broken, so you'll have to wait. What about your phone? My phone. My phone

fine. Can I use it?

Come on. Over here.

Come on. No. Come on. Come on. You saw him in the system.

I know. You don't need to do this. I do need to do this. No, come on. Number

four.

Shit.

What's your name? You don't need to know my name. I'm going to call you Jack.

Don't call me Jack.

You don't have to be like that, Jack. I do. Let me make a call. Call my lawyer.

Fix all this. Don't push your luck. I don't need this bullshit today. Come on.

At least tell me how long I'm going to be here.

48 to 72 hours.

You can do an air quote.

That's how long it's supposed to be. It could be a couple of weeks, maybe as

long as a month, and that's before you maybe get sent to an ICE facility. Get

the fuck in there.

Come on. Get the fuck in there.

Could be worse. You could be in Guantanamo with your friends.

Don't be like that, Jack.

Jack!

Let me make the call, Jack!

Jack!

Meow!

Is that a fucking cat?

We waited three weeks for the ferry to take us crossing up to the border

to go by foot. And then 10 days, caminamos through the jungle with the

flies, the snakes, but the worst.

The worst was the cartel.

Three days we hide from them, drinking only the juice from the carnivore

sausage to make it last, you know. Hasta cuando finally, finally we cross into

Panama.

You did all that to get to Panama?

Yes.

And you, what is your story?

Oh.

I took a bus from Mexico City.

But, um, we fled the Gulf War in the 1990s, and I was saying, came into

and my mom took the last bit of money that we had and smuggled us out on a

took a plane to Paris, and we had to lay over for 12 hours before landing in

Houston. I think we took Delta.

Meow. The fuck is this guy's problem?

El Gato.

He was amusing at first, but now he's just fucking annoying.

Meow. So he's always meowing.

Yes, he is always meowing.

Didn't take any breaks?

There are no breaks.

Only meows.

Jack?

I got homies in a grave. I got brothers in a pen. I got some that's coming home.

I got some that's going in. Try to go to visitation, but they wouldn't let me

in. So our only conversation, writing letters with a pen. Want to see how you

doing? Want to know just how you been? Tell you who your business through and

check in on your mama and them. Hope you get a second chance with me. One day we

meet again.

Thank you.

Oh, good.

I'm going to try to block you. What are y 'all doing?

Not my name.

Smiling, though.

Did a little smile on your face, Jack? I liked you better when I thought you

didn't speak any English.

Come on, Jack, have a heart. Okay, let me call my lawyer.

Please.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

If you make that shot from right here, I'll call your lawyer for you.

Done. But if you miss and you call me Jack again, I get to date you.

You serious?

All right.

Throw in tacos for all the guys. Real tacos. Not that fucking MRE burrito

bullshit. This is not Shawshank, and you're not my fucking accountant, okay?

You make the shot, you get the call. You miss, you play Guantanamo.

Okay, okay.

Deal's a deal.

Deal's a deal, Jack.

Deal's a deal.

England.

Oh, Jack, these mattresses.

So did you call my lawyer?

Yeah, yeah. Lizzie Horowitz in Houston. Oh, that's great, Jack.

So, can I ask you something?

Sure. You weren't gonna tase me, were you?

Nah, you weren't gonna tase me. Come on.

So, what is this?

Uh, you call, uh, Uber, you have your bus, uh... What

is this, Jack? It's all part of the process.

You said you called my lawyer. Yeah, I called your lawyer. I didn't call the

fucking president.

Get in.

Jack, Jack, Jack!

Just shut the fuck up.

I'm sick of it. We had a bond, Jack. Why would you think that?

Come on, we're just joking around, haven't we?

Jack, it looks like everybody farted in here at the same time.

Jack!

You can't do this, Jack!

Now, for you and for it, it happens.

I'm sorry.

We lived in Kuwait because it was very dangerous for us to live in Palestine

after the Zionists took over.

It was supposed to be temporary.

We always hoped to return back to our homeland, Palestine.

But after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait...

It was too dangerous to live there, too.

So we fled again.

This time, it was to America.

We lived in Houston for over 20 years now.

Please, Your Honor, don't take this home away from us, too.

While the danger posed to the respondents in Kuwait has subsided, this

considers applications based on the time they were originally submitted.

Jack!

Jack! As such, this court finds the respondents eligible for asylum.

The applications are granted.

Congratulations,

y 'all.

Thank you, thank you. And Mo is front and center of my mind. I'm doing

everything I can for him, okay?

with no ride or return.

I didn't choose to be stainless.

You think we'll ever get out of here?

Even if we do,

there's always another wall, Brett. I know where I'd go.

Full of steam.

Palestine?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Passport?

It's your grandfather's.

How'd you get this?

A nigga that knows how to get things.

A key is a man who knows how to get things.

I heard a helpline ask me for a key.

A key?

Look, that's a pipe dream.

Palestine's all the way on the other side of the world, and we're stuck in a

cell. Leave Malakon to die.

Leave Malakon to die.

Comes down to one choice, really.

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

See, though?

Mom in the jar.

Crawled through a river of foul -smelling, filthy burrito shit that I

imagine.

It came out.

Clean. I'll be on the side.

Muhammad the Jaw.

Free.

Free.

Hey. Al -Qaeda.

What's that?

You gonna take me to the bathroom from Saw?

What are we doing back here? It's your deportation hearing. Have a seat.

Come on.

You can't be serious, okay? All right, but it's already present.

It's so fucked up, Jack.

Press the space bar, stupid.

Sorry, Jack.

Lizzie! You gotta get me out of here. This place is a total nightmare. It's

okay, Mo. That's why we're having it in here, okay?

Okay,

Counsel, I've gone ahead and muted your client so we can proceed here. Thank

you, Your Honor. Before we begin, I'd like to have a motion to say today's

proceedings. My client has an immigration hearing pending in Houston.

to consolidate them. Any objection from the government?

No? Well, that's first.

I'm going to go ahead and...

Grant that motion and unmute your client now, Ms. Horowitz.

And I started having dreams like it was Shawshank Redemption, Tim Robbins and

Morgan Freeman, but I was Tim Robbins? Mrs.

Najjar, that is enough.

I'm sorry, I'm just emotional.

You're free to go as long as you agree to appear in Houston with Ms. Horowitz

a date and time to be specified. Do you understand?

Yes, Your Honor.

Yes, thank you, Your Honor. Thank you.

Thank you.

Good luck with your proposal.

Why you gotta treat people like trash?

Where's your heart in all this?

You've been here, what, two, three days?

I'm here every fucking day.

At least you have a choice.

No, what I have is a family. I've got two special needs kids.

I've got a mother -in -law living in my fucking house. I've got a leak I cannot

pay for, okay?

The choice that I have is do I go home at night and blow my fucking brains out,

or do I get up in the morning and come back here and deal with shit like you

again and again and again?

That's the choice that you're talking about.

So do me a favor. Take your fucking ring, go get married, and get out of my

face.

Take care of yourself, Jack.

Hey, finally.

Back home, baby.

Salam aleikum. Salam aleikum.

Oh, bro.

God.

Bro, you smell very bad. Yeah, I love you guys too. Listen, man.

Fuck all of that shit. Anybody do anything to you inside, you're okay,

What? You didn't bite, tickle, you touched, nothing now?

Exactly. I can't do this.

I haven't slept in two days.

I'm just asking you, bro, therapy.

There is therapy now. If anybody do anything, tell me. I'll protect you.

All right. This is ridiculous.

No, we love you. We love you. You should probably get in the van. It's more

ventilation. It smells very bad, bro.

Well,

listen, where I came from, this is a privilege.

Nice.

You can go wash your hands.

Disgusting.

Oh,

careful, huh? It's actually a limit.

Man, I'm into America.

The greatest country on earth, bro.

For who?

Oh, if you don't love it, leave it, bro. Go back to Nigeria.

Hey, I mean, that's probably the most American thing you've ever said to me.

Really? Thank you, bro. Listen, tomorrow...

Trail burgers. I've been craving them for the last six months.

Bro, tomorrow I can't. I'm sorry, man. I'm going with Dallas, bro, to gun show.

I already struck a deal. A double barrel scene automatic shotgun.

Yeah, I'm going to be a little busy tomorrow, too.

With what? Working?

Well, I ain't really had time to tell you, but me and Toya kind of got back

together. You and Toya back together?

Kind of. Bro, not kind of back together.

Living together, buying home together, doing the whole thing. I mean, shut the

hell up. I got this. You bought a house with Toya?

We didn't just meet. You know what I'm saying? We've been on and off since high

school. Yeah, no shit. I know.

He's raising her baby, bro. Another mom baby. I told you he had a baby.

Shut the hell up. Bro, I'm just telling him. He got her pregnant. Now she has

his baby on. He's raising another bro.

You're having a baby.

Why are you telling me that?

I'm really happy for you. It's amazing, bro. Congratulations.

Oh, he'll be an uncle. It's amazing.

Look, hey, I'm glad you fell in love. It's cool. I'm gonna get some barbecue.

Let's go. What the hell is wrong with you? What, bro? What? I'm sorry, bro.

just saying truth.

Listen, if I'm lying, may lightning strike me right now.

I'm still alive.

I'm about to strike you.

Sorry, man. Truth will set you free.

Oh.

So, you see Maria lately?

She say anything about me?

I mean...

You mean, I get it.

It's tough, long -distance relationships.

When I see her face -to -face, all that eyes will melt, right?

I don't know, bro.

That's a long time, bro. Is she married with kids now or what?

For the record, bro, me and Sequoia ain't married.

Shit, how's your mom feeling?

Nicholas, why has thou forsaken me?

Why do you love living insane?

Hasn't God done enough for you to not get in? I would have thought that

the three of us, I would have the most successful and beautiful and holy

relationship with my Dallas.

I didn't see it coming.

All right,

family.

Hey, be safe.

Yeah, I'll be a lot safer now that I'm out of your car.

Thank you. You drive like a Nigerian immigrant.

Me have that experience every time. Every time.

All right, man.

All right.

Come on.

Mama.

Samir.

You're scaring my cat, Hamoudi. I'm sorry, Crypto.

When did you get home?

I just got here.

I was just watching.

Oh,

sorry.

I'm sorry about your room. I can take some of this stuff out. If you like,

starting with this jungle gym.

You could... That's okay. You can leave that, but the boxes.

You know, it'd be nice to have some of my stuff back in my room.

Right.

It's just that it turns out that having some of my stuff...

And your room makes my room more roomy.

Still, you know.

Well, maybe I could take some of it out in stages.

You know, that way I could ease Crystal into a new routine.

Otherwise, you know, she might feel anxious.

Oh, of course.

Of course.

Oh, okay.

All right, see?

I missed you, little bro.

I missed you, too.

What's that?

Watch the cat.

Mama.

Habibti mama.

Ya Amrita.

Habibti mama.

Habibti mama.

What more,

Bami? It's your favorite.

How could you do that?

How could you do that to me?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I think I wanted to be in Mexico selling falafel tacos.

Do you know how much trouble... Do you know how much trouble you made for

yourself? Mama, this is delicious.

Lizzie tells your brother not to do anything stupid. What does he do? He

the river into the detention center. I think I wanted to end up in a detention

center where a guy just meows for days and days, just meowing.

For days.

Crystal does that all the time. Doesn't bother me.

Look, what about me?

It's about you guys.

My brother and my mom finally got their asylum.

Alhamdulillah. How long have we been waiting?

You should have been there. Of course, Mama. I wanted to be there. But let's

celebrate. We already did that.

Nadia took us out for lunch to the Cheesecake Factory. Lunch at the

Factory? Did you assess the olive oil situation while you were in Mexico?

Oh, yeah. I really looked into it. Come on. We're not ready to go international.

It's year five of my five -year plan based on the smart system.

Specific, measurable, achievable, relative, and time -bound.

Don't worry about that. I'm back now.

I'm ready to take things to a whole other level.

Another level?

You haven't even seen it.

Seen what?

Sure is good to have you back, Mo.

What's up, man?

Yeah, man, this is incredible.

It really is. Thank you for letting my family use a farm like this. It ain't

nothing. I'm happy to do it.

Yeah? Well, you know, it'd been nice to get the trees managed to go back since

that was a deal we made.

You know, it would be nice to get six months of my life back. You know, that's

what I want. I'm losing money leasing my equipment to y 'all for free, not to

mention the discount on the olives.

Oh, man. You know, everything I've been through with the legal troubles,

psychological stress and trauma of chasing down your trees. Trees I'll

get. Thanks for this, buddy.

Hey, don't mention it. Don't mention it. But I'm still losing money.

Love you too, buddy.

So how are you pricing the bottles?

The little ones at $14 and the big ones at $20.

That's it?

Yep. Why don't you just give them away?

Because we want to make money.

Exactly. We're losing money by not charging more.

No, but the smart system says that you... Just because it's called smart

mean it's actually smart.

No, smart's an acronym, Hamoudi.

Even Vanessa knows that.

The duck doesn't know that.

Habibi, take the duckling back to its mom.

Please.

Specific.

Measurable.

achievable, relevant, and time -bound.

I know you're a great salesman, but this business is so much important to your

brother, and he's really good at it.

He works hard, he knows the numbers, and he's gaining so much confidence, your

mama, especially after the chicken and corn thing.

Please, Allah yarda alayk, your mama. For my sake, give him the lead.

Yeah.

Of course.

What's wrong, Mama?

Just seems like everyone's doing well without me.

Maybe I should go back to Mexico.

Mama, just think how much better their lives will be now that you're back home.

You think Maria will feel the same?

Allah knows.

Allah knows.

We just started working on slabs.

A couple of months ago. I got tired of waiting for my second shop, so I just

went for it. Are you okay?

Yeah, these things are just... These things even street legal?

I mean, fuck all that. You look amazing.

What have you been doing?

Working out. I got time now.

Clearly, you got... Fuck, you gotta watch out for these things.

I mean, man, you are like... Glowing? I can't even look at you. What are my

shades at?

What are my shades? You're like a solar eclipse.

I don't know. No, I'm serious.

You look beautiful.

How did you get home?

I took a hot air balloon, you know. The gust of wind took me to Arizona, but...

A little shift, and I... Seriously?

I crossed the border, and I got caught.

What? I was at options.

Mo, what about your case?

I don't know.

We'll see.

Matt.

I'm not doing that.

Doing what?

This. Whatever it is you're doing, okay? I'm not doing it.

Maria. I was there. I went to Mexico that first week.

I was there. I showed up for you. And you told me very firmly to move on.

Firmly? Yeah, firmly. That's a little strong, okay? It was more like, you

softly. Like, maybe you should move on. Firmly, softly, however you said it, you

said it. I was living in a janitor's closet.

It was fucking embarrassing.

I didn't know how long I was going to be stuck in Mexico.

I didn't want to burden you. I wanted to be a partner for you.

I've always just wanted to be a partner for you.

But you don't know how to take the help. It's the same reason why. It's your

stupid pride. You didn't tell me about the lien. You didn't tell me about the

gangster you got mixed up with. It's just not a good fit. I'm sorry.

Babe, I love you.

I love you, too.

I really do, and I'm very, very happy that you're home, but we just don't fit.

Oh, okay. We don't. All right.

You...

I get it. You need space.

How much time do you need?

I'll wait.

I'll wait this time. I'll wait.

Mo, I'm seeing someone.

What?

I'm seeing someone, and you need to respect that.

If I'm down in a honky -tonk, some old slick's trying to get me a correction.

Lordy, I have love for you.
