Original subtitles

It's 10:30, Mike.

You are late.

For what?

Okay. All right.

Back when we had winners,

I was afraid to lose you to the competition.

Five times you won the All- merican Futurity

and every goddamn time I thought,

"Oh, I will lose Mike.

Somebody will grab him."

But that was a long time ago, true?

Yeah. That was before the accident.

Before the pills.

Before the booze.

look out there in that barn now,

a group of second rate horses.

a bit like my trainer, true?

I am not afraid of losing you now.

You are a loss to no one.

It is time for new blood.

Yeah, I can see that.

And do you know what you are late for?

What?

Clearing out your locker.

Why don't you do that on the way out?

Will you say anything?

No.

I want to say, "Howard,

I always thought you are small, and weak,

and cowardly man."

But, you know, there's no reason to be rude.

So, you do not lock your doors?

I have nothing worth stealing.

What is happening?

Are you just killing time in here?

You look awful.

Well, you looked horrible longer, so you win.

Yeah.

What do you want?

You remember I had a son?

Rafael.

Yeah.

That's him, at five or six.

Well, he is 13 now, I want to get him out of Mexico.

I want to get him here. do the right thing.

I want him to live with me.

What does his mother think about that?

Yeah, well, Leta,

- she is a nutcase. - Oh.

She was fun at a party, but...

and she gave me him.

Yeah.

But he's in trouble. Mike, the kid's in trouble.

And I must get him out of there.

You should call the authorities.

I can not go to the authorities.

I have legal issues. I can not return to Mexico.

He is being abused.

How do you know that?

I do not know it directly from him,

if that's what you are asking me,

but I know that.

I know it from people around her,

and she is a mess.

She lets him be abused

Well, I don't know what you want from me

Because, you know...

Do you want me to go there and kidnap him?

Bring him out of there?

It is not kidnapping if he is your kid.

He is not my kid,

I do not think he will go with me.

Yes, he would. He will listen to you, Mike.

I know he will.

He will know when he sees you,

you are a real cowboy.

He will listen to you. Tell him about the house.

Tell him he will have control of the ranch.

He will have his own horse. Tell him that.

It is every boy's dream.

Many guys here can do it

I am not that guy...

You know what? You owe me, Mike.

I was standing here, looking at all this,

I remember I made payments on this place.

I helped you not lose it after you...

After you lost her and the boy...

Many people told me to stop doing that?

To just walk away.

I said, "No. I owe Mike that much."

But I think you owe me a little bit,

and you gave me your word.

And that meant something, Mike.

Yeah.

I owe you.

All right.

There is cash in this envelope.

A good ammount for travel and expenses.

her address is on here

This is a map of the area

in Mexico City where she lives.

That's Rafo, like I said, about six.

He is almost 13 now, he will be taller.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Hello girls.

- Hello. - Hi.

So, where are you going?

Playa. We are going to the beach.

Which beach?

There are many beautiful beaches in Mexico.

As many we can in a week.

I bet you will.

Enjoy your stay in Mexico, girls.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What is your reason to enter Mexico?

a holiday.

Can I see your paperwork?

I am actually with them.

Just you?

Just me.

Enjoy your stay in Mexico.

Thank you.

Why would a kid want to leave this place?

Hey, be respectful, old man.

Take off your hat.

Usually when a woman laughs like that,

a man's trouser zip is open.

That's the only thing that's not on the table.

You are good.

Oh, no.

Is this your family, Michael Milo?

Yeah. From a long time ago.

You also have a picture of my son

from a long time ago.

I can explain that.

No, no need.

You are not the first my ex husband sent

The first one is in jail.

Beastly man with no manners.

The second was more amiable.

Could not find Rafo and left.

Tell me, cowboy,

why does his father want him now?

He has no real love for the boy.

Maybe he wants to change all that.

You imagine the innocent kid.

In that photo.

A nice, respectful boy

who wears clean clothes to school,

and sings in church.

I guarantee that is not correct.

My son is wild.

An animal who lives in the gutter.

Gambling, stealing, chicken fighting, at the...

At the Calle Choca.

Take him.

Take him if you can find him.

He is a monster.

You have come a long way for nothing.

I don't know where my son is now.

He is like his father.

He runs away.

He hates his father.

He hates me.

So, go home, Mr. Mike.

Go home.

When did you give up?

No matter what people say,

some are not born to be parents.

Have a drink with me?

No, I have a job to do.

Okay, good luck. You will need it.

Hey, Rafo.

Oh, shit!

Shit, shit.

Hey, Rafo, you can come out now.

The cops are gone.

Where are you?

You can come out now.

I am a friend of the family.

Okay. Come on.

Come here.

Hey, hey, come on.

Chicken...

Bad chicken. No, no! Hey, hey!

Ah.

All right, you little bastard.

Come on out.

I will count to five.

I will wring this chicken's neck.

Do you understand?

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

- Give me my rooster! - Five.

After we talk, Rafo.

You know my name?

How did you find me?

I found you because your mother told me

where you were. That is why.

If she sold me to you, you are a fool.

Touch me and I will kick your ass, old man.

What are you talking about?

You are some perverted friend of my mother

from one of her parties.

Perverted old man.

Hey. You are talking to the wrong person.

Your father sent me he wants to see you.

Howard Polk.

I work for him, that's all.

You are a cowboy? A ranch worker?

Yeah.

That's right. I have done some of that.

Okay, talk.

Not here.

Not here.

You are joking, yes?

No, not joking.

My father, he wants me.

You are his only child.

And he sent you to get me?

Yes.

You are a liar.

My father has not seen me for years.

Why does he want to see me now?

He wants to see you, that is all.

He ... He misses you.

You are full of shit.

My father does not want me.

He never even called on my birthdays.

Look at that.

It is me when I was little.

Yeah, that's it.

Same guy.

He gave you that?

He did.

If my father wants me back, why did he not telephone?

He sent you, some apestoso viejo.

I don't know what that means, but I don't like it.

When I was little,

my father said he would give me a special horse.

He never did.

He is a liar.

Eh, just a little late, that's all.

That does not mean he is a liar.

But he will make it up to you now.

He has a big ranch.

He has horses, cattle.

In fact, he has hundreds of horses.

You can to ride yourself silly.

- Hundreds of horses? - Yeah.

He owns a rodeo there.

Rodeo?

Hundreds of horses...

He is a big boss!

Yeah, he's a big boss. That's what I am telling you.

Maybe I will go.

- Just for a while. - Yeah.

Good. Good, I think so.

If I do not like it, I will say,

He can go to hell, and come back.

Yeah, that's right.

If you do not like it, to hell with it.

Okay. Deal.

Can I bring my rooster?

Yes. I don't see why not.

Hey, Macho, come.

Where you going?

I must collect my things.

No, stay here.

Shit.

What can I say?

I can not believe it.

Where did you find him?

Right where you said.

At the cock fights.

And where is he?

He said he was going to collect his stuff.

You poor fool.

Yes.

- Ah. - Well...

This time...

This time you will have a drink with me.

Ah... you really thought hi would go with you?

Maybe he will.

Here.

Cheers.

Come. Let's celebrate.

Tell me something...

What are we celebrating?

Anything.

I am up for anything.

Corazon.

I

I do not know.

I should get out of here.

Or, this job will not be finished.

You dare...

You dare insult me in my own home?

No, I did not mean to insult you.

I just...

Okay.

Hey.

Do you think I am a whore? Is that what you think?

Hey, I am talking to you. Do not go!

One more step and you are finished.

I will call the police right now.

Give them your name,

and you will be arrested for kidnapping.

Spend the rest of your life in a Mexican prison.

How do you like that?

You do not like that, do you?

Rafo is mine.

He is mine and he stays.

Do you understand?

He is my property, Nobody takes my property.

His father ran away from us.

He had his chance, but he left us here.

He left him with me.

You have five minutes

to get in your vehicle and leave Mexico City.

Do we understand each other?

Get out.

Get out now.

- Lucas. - Take him out.

Okay.

What the hell?

Hello, white man

I think I fell asleep, yes?

Get out.

What?

Get out.

- Get out. - What?

Get out, I said.

What?

What the...

I said, out.

Get out, you are not going.

Say who? Says me. Says your mother.

I am going with you. - No, you are not.

I said I am going.

You will stay.

If you go without me, do you know what I will do?

- What will you do? - go to the police.

- Yeah? - Not here.

In the next town where they do not know me.

I will go to the police and tell them

I was raped by a dirty white man in a truck from Texas.

You are sick. What will do

when they get you to the hospital

and the doctor wants to shove his hand up your ass

to give you an examination?

Not so good, huh, sonny?

Get your ass out of here. Jesus! Hit the highway.

Then, I will walk like a cripple. Like this...

And I will say your truck, you hit me and run away.

Jesus Christ.

I will tell them that this thing

is not yours.

It is stolen.

Jesus! You are sick as a dog.

Get out of here. You are not...

Idiot.

All right, where is the wallet?

Where is what?

My wallet. Give it here.

We go and I tell you, okay?

Look, the only place you will go

is the hospital.

Now give me the wallet.

You get too angry.

It is not good for you at your age.

Give me the wallet now!

Eat shit.

What are you talking about, "eat shit"?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You are quick for old man.

"Eat shit." Yeah.

Okay, I will make a deal with you.

What deal?

I give your wallet, you take me to the border.

Only to the border. Then I get across by myself.

No deal. No dice.

I want to go with my father.

All right. Get in the back.

I want you to take this chicken,

tie his leg back down there so it doesn't...

I do not want him crapping on the upholstery here.

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

No, and he is not a chicken. His name is Macho.

I do not care if his name is Colonel Sanders.

Just get his ass back there.

He is Macho.

You know what it means, "macho"?

It means "strong."

Come on, Macho.

Yeah.

Shit.

It is bad to have a fighter, a champion,

with his leg tied all day.

White man

you look a smart man to me.

So...

I will make a deal with you.

Yeah? What kind of a deal?

If Macho sits with us,

when he fights,

I will give you half of the money.

The day Macho sits up here is the day I barbecue him.

It's not good for his spirit.

Well, I am really worried about that.

But he is strong now.

When I found him,

he had lose every fight.

He was on the ground.

His leg broken.

I took care of him, and I said,

"Stand up, you bastard. Fight!"

He killed a very big rooster.

From that time,

he is Macho.

A champion.

That is the most exciting thing

I have ever heard.

Why don't we sleep in the truck?

Yeah.

Because we can sleep out here in the wide open spaces.

The air is nice and clean.

not like in the cities.

It is beautiful.

I think it is something else maybe.

What?

Maybe

when I fall asleep, you will drive away without me.

Yeah.

I will not leave without you, kid.

Just go to sleep.

What is wrong with this guy?

He has got something on his eye here.

Got something in right here.

Wait, wait a second.

- Oh. - Yeah. I got it.

Very good.

Go ahead.

You are a veterinarian

No. No, veterinarian

I have always loved animals

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

At rodeo?

Yeah, rodeo.

Working on ranches

and working with horses especially.

I think he will be fine.

Macho. His name is Macho.

Whatever.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing.

Guy wants to name his cock "Macho"...

It is okay by me.

He is macho, like me.

Very strong rooster.

Everyone wants him.

someone even stole him from me.

Your mother says you steal a few things yourself.

Cars and such.

In the United States, if you touch a man's vehicle,

You will get trouble.

Yeah. I will remember when we get to Texas.

Especially in Texas.

you can watch all that "macho" stuff there too.

Nobody likes that stuff.

How did you get the bruises?

does the street life cause all that?

Sometimes.

And sometimes when I go home, it is worse.

That is why I stay on the streets.

All the bad stuff happens at home.

My mom hates me.

You want to know why?

Not really.

She bring home a strange man today,

another strange man tomorrow,

she said I should call them "Uncle."

And I say to her,

"How many men can I call 'Uncle'?"

So she hates me.

And Aurelio,

he was in prison.

Sometimes he sells drugs and brings her pills and marijuana.

One time I spit on him.

He hits me to teach me manners

and I said to him...

Do not teach me manners

When you are in bed with my mom, where does she sleep.

So, I say, to hell with that.

I make a few dollars with Macho for myself

and I do what I want.

On the street,

I trust nobody.

But it is safer than at home.

You can never trust anybody.

We will take

a different route here.

- Police are there. - Oh, shit.

We must go down this road.

What do they want?

Well, they probably wanted you.

We will stay away from them.

What are we doing?

We divert, take this road here.

All the way around,

and we will not have to deal with them.

No good. It is bump, bump, bump.

Bit more like jail, jail, jail.

Hi.

We brought our own red rooster with us, see?

In your honor.

Thank you

Uh, I will have a beer

and he will have a...

What is Amarillo?

Uh, nothing. Just something I drink.

Oh, okay.

Thank you

It is tequila.

- Tequila. - Yeah.

You will not drink any tequila.

But I want it.

I don't care. You will not drink it, not with me.

I drink tequila once and I never got sick.

Yeah, well, when you are with your dad,

you can drink battery acid,

but you will not drink tequila with me.

An Orange drink, please

Yeah, that's better.

I will be back.

Where are you going?

Make a phone call.

Yeah, hello.

I found the boy.

Yes!

Shit, that is great! That is great!

It was not easy,

but I found him and we are coming.

We have small issues, but we are on our way.

It does not matter. It does not matter.

I knew you would find him.

I knew I did the right thing sending you.

Not like those other two guys you sent down here.

Thanks a lot for that.

I will phone you along the way

and you will be honest with me, understand?

Okay. All right.

Just get him back here, okay?

You have got it. - All right.

Your look drunk, kid.

Ah. Fine Mexican beer.

Can I wear your hat?

No.

Why not?

Because it is a cowboy hat.

And you are not a cowboy.

Anything a white man cowboy can do with horses,

a Mexican can do better.

Well, you have a problem,

because you are half white man

What do you think, kid?

Do you think I'm a white man

Yeah.

Do you think I am like my father?

A coward?

Who run away?

- Well... - Do you think

I am like my mom?

Weak?

I do not know. I do not know your mom.

- But your father... - Then...

who am I, Mike?

Here, kid. Try the hat...

I don't want to wear your dumb, stupid hat.

Mike!

Help me, Mike! Get off!

What the hell are you doing?

You leave him alone. - Get away.

He is not your son. He is not yours to take.

His mother warned you, white man Don't be stubborn!

- No. - This is your last chance.

- Mike! - The kid is not your concern.

- Good job, Macho. - Hey, stupid bird!

Good job, Macho.

Okay.

Hey!

What is he saying?

It's not good.

Rafael. Rafael.

Time for us to go.

You did all right, kid. You did all right.

You want another tortilla?

No, I do not. I do not think so. No.

What is wrong?

Yeah, no, I don't feel well.

I don't know why you are laughing.

You Mexicans always laugh at us white men

because your dirty water makes us sick

the water is not dirty. You are.

We drink and we are healthy.

You drink it and die in the toilet.

Ah, do not mention that.

Speaking...

Run! It is going to come out.

Wait. I will give you something to make you feel better.

What?

Here, try it.

Cactus?

Yes, it's good. Try it.

You try it.

Okay. Watch.

- See? I did not die. - Okay.

Hey!

- Go! Go, go, go! - No!

The car!

No!

No!

Stop!

Shit!

I can not even call the cops.

So, what now?

We must get ourselves some transportation.

And clothes.

You should not dress like an American.

So people do not see White man, white man

I want some water.

There is a shop right here. I will go look.

Yeah.

Look, Macho.

A white man goes in, a Mexican comes out.

Yes, I bought you some clothes.

Thank you.

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.

- Yeah. - I only borrowed it from somebody.

In Mexico, we are friendly people.

You lend, I lend.

We lend, everybody lends. - Yeah, yeah.

What?

Just, uh...

It is not your car

and I will be driving it.

Macho.

I am starting to apreciate you, kid.

This looks like an interesting town.

Maybe we should check it out.

Hello Mama.

Shall we look around?

Bring in the rooster.

Police

I will have coffee,

and anything for him.

Strange

Thank you.

Uh...

She says that is strange.

The police never come over here.

Thankyou

Thank you very much. Yeah.

Yes Uh...

I will have a rest here.

Tired? Old man needs a nap?

You bet.

Macho.

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,

now, I think we should...

We should go.

Will you, thank the woman for me?

Lady

She is not married. She is a widow.

Marta.

My name,

Marta.

I am Mike.

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.

We have imposed on her enough.

Well...

She said it is her choice.

- And she already... - Right.

Plus, she says we cannot keep sleeping

These girls need some help with the animals.

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

She will be angry?

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.
