Well,

We should be going.

What is this?

Transportation.

Transportation? Where did you get it?

I find it.

Nonsense.

It was sitting here. So I think nobody want it.

Yeah? Nobody was sitting in it, huh?

We will leave it in the next town.

In Mexico, we are friendly people.

You lend, I lend.

We lend, everybody lends. - Yeah, yeah.

Just, uh...

It is not your car

Maybe we should check it out.

Hello Mama.

What are you doing here?

Do not drink out of my cup pal

Dreamt I was in a desert bar, but now I'm in one.

Jerk.

She says you do not snore. She likes that.

Oh. Well...

did I miss anything here?

Yeah. She asked why the police were looking for us.

I tell her you are my father, and you escaped the assylum

the crazy hospital.

They are looking for you.

And she believes all that?

She did not believe me.

So, then I told her

you are here to bring me to Texas with my father

and my mother says no.

So, you told her the truth.

I thought you do not trust anyone.

No.

But you trust her?

Yeah. Yeah, for some reason, I guess, yes.

Oh, well,

We should go.

Will you, thank the woman for me?

Lady

She is not married. She is a widow.

My name,

Marta.

Yes He say.

Yeah.

Okay.

Not another roadblock.

What is the Spanish word for "irony"?

We will have to go back to that town we were in.

Just wait till this storm is over with.

Perfect place to get out of the rain.

Huh.

It is a shrine, Mike.

Of the Virgin Maria.

Okay.

What are you doing?

- What are you doing?

Oh, I'm.

I want to go to sleep.

What the hell do you think this is?

We cannot sleep in the shrine of the Virgin Maria.

Maria will not worry She is fine.

She will not care.

Good night, kid.

Mike?

Yeah?

Mike, do you believe in God?

I don't know, kid.

I guess so, yeah.

Are you Catholic?

No.

I am not Catholic, kid.

That's too bad for you, Mike.

If you believe in God but you are not Catholic,

they do not believe in you.

What, is he playing favorites?,

Yeah.

I do not believe this shit.

"We are all God's children."

Do you?

We are all somebody's children, kid.

Do you have any children?

No.

Oh, I did.

Did?

Yeah.

Matthew, boy.

My boy...

and my wife were killed in an auto accident

some years ago.

Sorry.

Anyway...

I was no good after that.

I went on a rampage.

Too much drinking.

crazy behavour.

But your dad,

he saved me.

He gave me work.

He...

gave me my life back.

I owe him a lot.

And you are the payback, kid.

You are the payback.

I am paying him back.

Hey!

Look at this. Fantastic, huh?

How did you know we were here?

She came to light a candle, and she saw our car.

Yeah.

Well, thanks.

Thank you

Okay

Oh, damn!

What is the matter?

Look, the car.

Oh, Jesus.

Well,

we better get used to this town, kid.

We will be here a while.

It is rubbish.

Everything all right?

Hey.

You speak English, friend

Yeah.

These horse are for sale. You want to buy?

I noticed one of those guys has got an injury

on the left haunch there.

He is a little rough to me.

Yeah, in fact, all your horses

are a little on the rough side.

They get hurt being captured.

Wild horses, huh?

Yes we catch, but not tame them.

They are very wild.

Not many can ride.

Yeah.

Difficult to sell a horse that you can not ride.

Maybe we can do something about that.

- We? Who's we? - Yeah.

You and me.

I do not know how to ride.

But I can do anything.

Of course you can.

Would not want to arrive in Texas

and have people discover you cannot ride.

Whoa.

Macho.

Okay.

Go a little faster, will you?

Keep your weight on the balls of your feet.

More like it. Do less with your hands.

Quicker.

Good boy.

Not bad.

Faster. Faster. More.

There you go.

Do not lay back. Stay upright.

There, that is good. That is good.

Heels down. That is good.

That is a good little figure eight.

Come back this way.

All right, son. You are doing good.

You are doing great.

May not be a disgrace in Texas after all.

Here is a gift, ladies.

Coffee

Sure. All right.

Okay.

Thank you.

we just brought you that meat as a gift.

Yeah, I just came here to bring stuff.

I did not come here fir a ree meal.

Uh...

she says she will do as she pleases.

Oh, all right.

Okay.

These your girls?

Grand daughters.

Her daughter got sick and died.

Also her son-in-law.

Her husband died too.

Same illness. Two years ago.

Now widow, like you.

Sorry.

No.

Is she deaf?

Seems so.

How do you know sign language?

Just something you pick up along the way.

What did you say?

Would you like to know?

Thank you

So, what is that all about?

The deputy.

What about the deputy?

Uh, first, he said he is a sheriff

and it is his job to know what is going on.

But she said he is not the sheriff. He's a deputy.

Only because his uncle made him deputy.

they do not even have a police station.

And if he did not mind his business,

she said he never eat at the cantina again.

he said...

Uh, what is next?

Looking good, kid.

Look where you are going, and go where you are looking.

Good.

Put your heels down.

Okay.

Heels down.

Yeah, do not look like a sack of potatoes there.

Your dad will be a happy man seeing you that way.

- We will see you soon. - Yeah.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

this is Miss Reyes.

Her goat was attacked by dogs,

I told her you are good with animals.

you can put him over here.

Put him on this table, we will look.

Put him up there.

Let me see.

Let's see. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, somebody chewed him.

Not so good. Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, I think we can fix her up soon.

And it will be okay.

All righty.

Mike, it should have taken three,

or maybe four days

But two weeks? What are you doing?

I told you it would take a little while.

I heard that already.

Just keep telling him what he wants to hear.

- Who? -"Who?

The kid. Rafael.

Just keep him happy,

and whatever you do,

do not let his mother grab him.

her lawyers will never respond.

Respond to what?

It is a business thing.

A few years ago, down there in Mexico,

I invested in some property in her name

to avoid their terrible taxes,

and now those investments have matured.

So I want the return on my investment.

Just like the kid.

Well, yeah, okay. So, you understand

yes.

I understand. You played a game with me, you bastard.

I didn't play you.

What are you, eight years old, Mike?

Jesus!

If I have something she wants,

maybe she will negotiate.

Christ, I am a reasonable man.

I am just asking for my half.

This kid would be better off without either one of you.

Well, you know what?

It is not important what you think, Mike.

I am his father

and I actually want him back.

This is not all about the money, okay?

The kid is my son.

So, please...

Please, can you stick to the plan?

Just meet me at the border with him.

Yeah.

Was that my father?

Yeah, it was, kid.

Did he say anything about me?

Ask how I am?

Well, he did, yeah. He... He wants the best for you.

- He does? - Yeah.

He still wants me? He still wants me to come?

Of course he does, kid. Why would he not?

Hold it, hold it, hold it. Give me that.

Okay, come on, there.

Right through there.

Stick your head in there, and put it on up here.

Put this here. Okay.

We got him.

Now, that was the easy part.

- That was the easy part? - Yeah.

They don't like it when you tighten the belt.

It is like this.

You just have to pull, Make it tight.

You can do it.

Do you want to try? - Okay.

Make it tight and pull some up

Whoa! Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa! He is so wild.

Okay, yeah. Take it easy.

Hey, hey. Hey.

How did you do that?

We did it, partner.

We did it.

Good morning

Good day

Did you sleep well?

I did, yes. I did.

Thank you.

Marta says we can stay in the shed behind her house

while we are here.

No.

We cannot do that. Can not do that.

We have imposed on her enough.

Well...

She said it is her choice.

- And she already... - Right.

...cleaned it out for us.

Plus, she says we cannot keep sleeping

in the shrine of the Virgen Maria.

It's not a hotel.

I know. I am fighting a losing battle.

Okay.

It is good or it's no?

It is no.

But what do we do when we leave?

We get another car, that is what we do.

Cook?

Yeah. Well, you are always cooking.

I think I will do it for you.

And cowboys always cook.

It is something we do.

Okay.

Do you want?

Yeah.

Amen.

Okay.

I think she likes you.

Just keep your big mouth shut.

And I think you like her.

Thank you Thank you

More money to come.

More horses to tame.

Yeah, you bet.

The whole neighborhood is coming here.

They must think I am a doctor or something.

- What is this?

These girls need some help with the animals.

Yeah, I do not know what to tell you.

I do not know what to tell you about this girl.

Yeah, what do you say?

You just need to lose some weight, that's all.

You take it easy, just a little more water.

Little more water and less food.

He wants to know who you are,

what is your business?

Do you have a, licence

Well, these people want me

to take care of some of their animals.

People seem to think I am good with animals.

He said, help the dog,

or his wife will be very angry.

Yeah?

He said it's not good when she is angry.

She will be angry?

- Not for you either.

Okay. All right.

Yeah.

Looks pretty good.

I don't know how to cure "old."

I don't know. But I cannot tell her that.

Well...

I think the dog just needs a lot of rest.

Maybe he should sleep with you tonight.

On the end of the bed.

How is that?

Thank you

Yeah.

We will do the best we can.

Thank you

I got you.

Okay.

Just press it down.

Okay.

I understand this stuff.

This right here. Thanks.

Yes.

Oh.

There, I think we got it.

Think we got it.

Italian lager.

If my father did not want me To come to Texas I would stay here.

Yeah.

You could have stayed too. It is good.

1 The best place I have stayed in my life.

Maybe even better than Texas.

It could be, kid.

But I want to be with my father.

Have a new life in America.

But what if it is no good?

What if my father changes his mind when he meets me?

Does not want me?

He wants you, kid.

He wants you.

Rafo! What are you doing?

Nothing.

We must get out of here. Come on.

What?

Aurelio. I saw him in town, he is talking to the cops.

We must get on the road.

Uh...

But what about the girls? What about Marta?

Having us here is the worst thing

that could happen to the girls.

We must get moving. Come on.

Get your ass in gear.

Hello Mike.

Marta, we... We have to go.

We have a job we must finish,

and just...

Well, you have been so good to us,

it is difficult to leave.

That, and the kids and everything,

it is just...

Anyway...

we have got to go.

Thanks for everything.

Let us try this thing.

Okay. You go here.

Okay, go ahead.

What do I say when they demand my papers at the border?

What do I tell them?

You do not have to tell them anything.

Your dad will be there.

He will take care of everything.

Okay.

Yeah. We need to lose these guys.

When I get to the next set of curves,

just hang on, we will get rid of them.

We lost them.

Yeah, gone for now

Look, kid,

there is something I did not say the other day

when we talked.

It is about your dad.

Yeah, I mean,

he wants you to be with him and everything,

but there is another reason.

And that is 'because your mother and he

have some investments together.

And he thinks if you are with him up in Texas,

that she will give him half of all the investments.

So, you lied?

No, I did not lie.

I just did not know before that's all.

Bullshit.

Hundreds of horses, cattle, a ranch...

It has a rodeo.

Yes, that is all true, kid.

That is all true. He has all that.

You will love it there.

How could he...

How could you?

No...

I should have never trusted you.

Never trust anyone.

I did not know at the time, that's all.

You are a liar.

And I hate you. I hate you.

And I hope you die in jail.

Jesus Christ, kid.

Bunch of rubes.

Whatis he looking for, anyway?

Drugs.

Drugs?

You must be out of your minds.

Idiots. Asshole.

We don't have any drugs.

Jesus Christ.

Mickey Mouse prick.

Yeah. Nothing.

- Yeah. - When did you leave Veracruz?

I have never been to Veracruz.

He said, "Where are the drugs?"

But no, we do not have drugs.

We do not have any drugs.

You guys are wasting your time.

You have nothing else to do.

Loser cops.

Will you help us put this stuff back in the car?

Gentlemen I guess we made a mistake.

Yeah.

Good.

Leave .. You are free to go.

Not soon enough.

Jesus Christ.

One thing I don't understand.

Those bastards.

If you have no drugs, why you run?

We are not running, asshole.

Uh...

Yeah, his dad is unwell in Texas,

and we must there right away.

Thank you

Gentlemen.

Jesus Christ. Asshole.

Losers.

Stupid bastards.

If they had a brain, they would be dangerous.

Thanks a lot, you pricks.

Okay, let's get this stuff in the car.

You and I, we must talk.

I don't want to talk to you.

Yeah, well, you will talk to me whether you like it or not.

I thought you were my friend.

For the first time, I thought I had a friend.

You are nothing to me.

You just get shit in the car,

and shut up.

I am going to get the seat

can you help me with it.

Hey, quick. Pull this.

Your father lied to both of us.

And... So, stop complaining?

You are both liars.

Okay.

Okay.

Freedom is just on the other side of this hill, kid.

Shall we go.

Let's go You were strong.

Now you are weak.

You used to ride bulls, ride horses.

You were something.

I was something.

You used to be strong.

Macho.

Now you are nothing.

Yeah.

Well, I was a lot of things,

but now, I am not.

And I will tell you something.

This macho thing is overrated.

Works perfect for him,

but it is overrated.

Just people trying to be macho

to show they have courage.

Eventually, courage is all they have.

You sit there and let a bull step all over you,

You let a horse throw you 50 feet in the air.

What an idiot.

Only an idiot would be in a profession like that.

It is just...

It is like anything else in life.

You think you have all the answers,

then, as you get old you realize

You don't have any answers.

By the time you figure it out, it is too late.

Your dad is a good man.

We all must make choices in life, kid.

You have to make yours.

Where do you want to go?

I made my choice, Mike.

I want to go.

Oh, shit.

Let's get you out of here.

Hey, Mike.

Remember me?

Rafo,

I don't want to hurt your grandpa,

so come with me, okay?

Mike.

Mike.

Stay there, asshole.

Okay.

So, what do you think about Macho now?

I think a lot about him.

I think he handled everything just beautifully back there.

Yeah, he is amazing.

A real man.

Yeah.

Huh.

Thank you, Mike.

You are welcome, kid.

You take care of that chicken, huh?

He is not a chicken.

He is Macho.

He is yours now.

Are you sure?

It could be...

Saturday night barbecue, you never know.

I will take care of him.

And you take care, kid.

You take care. You know where we are.

If you need us.

Thank you.

All right, boy.

Yeah.

I hear you, loud and clear.

Huh.

All right, kid.
