MOUTH FULL OF FLIES

[flies buzzing]

[Aracely] You're too fast.

- Do you want help with the baby? - No, just go slower.

Okay.

The doctor said you went to see her car.

Yes, it's a disaster.

But you can fix it?

Of course.

I have to change the oil, the spark plugs...

She said you'd make a list of repairs.

It's a long list.

But you'll do it?

- Who pays that much for a car? - Just do it, Paquito!

Maybe she'll buy it and then you can get a job.

- Just do it! - [baby fussing]

Don't yell at me. You'll upset the baby.

You just don't want your drunk friends seeing me yell at you.

[baby fusses]

[baby fusses]

I don't want it.

- I don't want to have it... - Don't think like that.

It doesn't matter.

We can't even afford to get rid of it.

- [baby fusses] - [Paquito] Wait up.

[eerie music playing]

[Isidro] Yes.

It's Anselmo.

[doctor] I'm sorry.

Did he mention any living relatives? A child, a sibling, a cousin?

Call that fucking priest.

Don't spend money on a fancy casket.

Anselmo wouldn't have wanted to be buried here.

Yes, sir.

- [Érika] Do you have homework? - Yes, a lot.

Can I eat and do homework?

In your room?

Yes, to get started, and...

Come on.

Sit down with me, just for five minutes.

- Either way, you have to eat. - [phone rings]

- [Armando] Fine. - Help me set the table.

Hello? Ah?

About what?

I was about to eat with Armando, why?

What time is it?

Is it time?

Keep talking.

I'll call you back. [clicks tongue]

[Érika sighs]

- [Julián] Érika? - I'm here.

- Can you see me? - The connection was bad but I see you now.

How's it going?

You know, the usual trouble with the city council.

Even though we're just a few kilometers from the main line,

now they want to install a cellphone tower.

That means...

I'll probably have to stay here another month.

I'll be back in time for Armando's game in San Antonio.

I'll drive you.

They changed the date, Julián.

Don't you check Facebook?

No, I'm sorry. I didn't see it.

I'll check it later. Don't worry.

Okay.

Érika...

So, what?

Want to talk about it?

This is exactly what you wanted.

What did you say? Some space.

[sighs] I only said what you wanted to hear.

What I wanted to hear?

I've had a long day and I'm really tired.

If you want, I'll quit this job.

It's not about what I want. What do you want?

I have no problem coming back to Allende.

[grandma] My babies!

[girl] Grandma!

[sighs] My darling, come on.

Come in.

- [girl] Hello. - Hi.

[woman] Hi, how are you?

- What's up? - You settled in?

More or less.

Is it official?

- What? - The divorce.

The papers came a few weeks ago.

No more Valeria.

No more of Valeria's parents.

No more of her brothers.

Time to live it up.

You're a single man.

Yeah, I'm trying.

- Let's go. - Mmm.

- [Benjamín] Grandma, do you want pulque? - [grandma mutters]

She's fine.

- But... okay. - Leave her, she's fine.

[woman] Do you miss Monterrey? Allende must seem so small

after living in a big city for years.

No, I'm happy to be back.

He also has some new ideas.

Though they're not as crazy as Gerardo's.

What ideas?

The one about gas.

What is it called?

Fracking.

Fracking.

Between us, we're doing some well tests at the López ranch.

Don't say anything, we don't have permits.

What are your ideas?

Some branding ideas for the ranch.

- For social media. - [woman] Show him, son. You should see it.

- [Benjamín] Not now. - [woman] Show me.

- [woman] Yes, we all want to see it. - All right, then.

[woman 1] He's putting his marketing degree to work.

That's lovely!

- Look at that. - [woman 2] Yes, it's nice.

It's pretty.

- [girl] It's nice. - [grandma] It's even in color.

[laughter]

[grandma] Do you want pork?

If I'm just going to kick, why do I have to do push-ups?

You're right. So, what, are you going to quit?

No way.

- [Tom] You know how stubborn she is. - [laughing]

[woman] Nancy, someone's here.

- [Armando] He's here. - What's up? I brought something.

I hope it's okay.

Right on!

- [clapping] - [lively music playing on radio]

- [Armando] You're so dumb. Give it to me. - [Tom] You're the man.

- [laughter] - This is a 30-year-old whiskey.

What?

Really? I just took the first one I saw.

Your dad is going to kill you.

He won't even realize.

Your dad seems cool. What does he do?

He's a lawyer.

I thought he was an architect.

Yes, he's also an architect.

He just finished a mall in Nuevo Laredo.

[Nancy] Do you dance?

What? No.

If you're going to live here, you have to learn.

[lively music playing loudly on radio]

[Tom] That's it.

You're going to fall.

[lively music continues]

[woman] Hello, dear.

Yes, you told me.

But if Spencer goes back to work, who'll watch the baby?

What?

Ireland?

Send me a photo.

And one of little Edgar wearing his hat.

What did he do?

You can send him here for the summer.

Yes, he can stay with us.

Do you think your son will let the kid set a foot in this dirty ranch?

[whispers] You know what he's like. Don't worry. Everything is fine.

Benjamín, the Linares boy, moved back to the ranch.

Lupita...

Long distance is expensive.

Luckily they didn't have children.

Say hi to Spencer for me.

Yes.

I love you too.

Bye.

If you don't talk to your son, you'll regret it.

Lupita.

I've had a hard day.

Let's talk about that faggot another day.

[phone rings]

The buses come whenever they feel like it.

- [ringing continues] - [intercom beeping]

What is your emergency?

[phone ringing]

Who is this?

Hey! A woman is asking for you, but she won't say who it is.

All right, patch her through.

There she is.

Hello?

[Ana] Irene, it's Ana, from the car wash.

Hi, Ana, how are you?

I'm... everything is fine.

I'm just wondering if you heard anything from Beto.

[Irene] No, why?

Did something happen?

No, but I haven't heard from him in a while.

And I was just checking.

When was the last time that you heard from him?

Not that long ago, really.

If you think that something happened to him,

we can report him as missing.

Maybe someone knows something.

Ana?

It's probably nothing. Forget I called.

[somber music playing]

- [Irene] That was... - I know what it was.

It's nothing.

Maybe I should...

It's not your problem. Leave it be and go home.

[priest] In this moment, his soul is resting in Heaven.

Next to the lifeless body of our brother Anselmo,

we light this flame,

Lord Jesus Christ,

from your glorious resurrected body.

May the radiance of its light

illuminate our darkness.

And light the road of our hope,

until we reach eternal clarity.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

[all] Amen.

- [somber music playing] - [church bells toll]

[engine starting]

- [players grunting and shouting] - [whistle blows]

[coach] Are you okay?

[Armando] Sorry, Nancy, I forgot.

- You forgot I'm a girl? - Calm down. It's fine.

[coach] Hit the showers.

Are you okay?

Don't tell my mom.

[soft music playing]

Are you taking advantage of me because I'm vulnerable?

You kissed me.

I was dizzy from the tackle.

BETO'S CAR WASH

[indistinct chatter on car stereo]

[Irene] Hello?

Are you open?

Irene?

- What a surprise! - Ana.

I was in the neighborhood and I need to wash my car.

I also wanted to know if you got in touch with Beto.

- Do you need anything? - We're fine.

He was helping his nephew, but now he's back.

That's great.

- Because... - [Ana] Excuse me.

Some of the staff quit. A nephew is going to help us.

I'm going to close up and...

Beto asked me to buy a few things.

Of course.

Say hi to Beto from me.

Sure.

[ominous music playing]

[Paquito] Don't exert yourself.

- [Aracely] She just pooed. - I'll change her.

I can do it. Excuse me.

[Paquito] Don't be mad.

Where to?

- [Paquito] Her room. - Mmm.

- Did you cheat on my daughter? - No, I would never do that.

- I hear everything. - I know that.

Mmm. You know what?

If you cheat on my daughter,

I'll cut your dick off, I'll put it on a bun

with tomato and onion, and I'll sell it as a hot dog.

- How's that? - Got it.

- Be careful with that knife. - You be careful, idiot.

- [Isidro] Which one will you saddle up? - [man] Whichever one you like.

Why are they so skittish?

They haven't been let out today?

Benjamín didn't come.

[sighs heavily] All right.

Saddle up Valentína.

[ominous music playing]

[lively music playing]

You're Linares, right?

The son of Isidro the rancher.

Yeah.

What's up with him, Wilbur? Is he with us?

He's a friend.

Is he with us?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you.

- [César] Héctor. - I don't care.

- [César] Come here. - All right.

- Who were you speaking to? - The Linares kid.

It doesn't matter. He's nobody.

[scoffs]

Everybody is somebody.

He's the exception to the rule.

[César] All right.

Come on.

We're black.

[Mrs. Chayo] Hey, you drunk! Get out of here!

[Benjamín] My treat.

What will it be?

Two with everything.

[Mrs. Chayo] And you?

- The same. - With pleasure.

What was I saying?

- About Mutante. - [Wilbur] Oh, yeah, that guy.

He lost his fingers.

On both hands.

The worst is... he can't find them. [laughs]

Fucking idiot.

[Mrs. Chayo] Anything to drink?

[Wilbur] I'll have strawberry.

[sighs] Fuck.

[soft guitar music playing]

[soft guitar music continues]

[dance music playing loudly on TV]

- [Benjamín] I'll change the channel. - [Isidro] No... leave it.

[dance music stops]

The horses.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I got in late...

What?

What's wrong?

I'm pregnant.

Stupid! You haven't learned anything.

She want's to get rid of it.

Blessed be the Lord.

You have learned after all.

[soft guitar music playing]

Do you understand? Be careful.

I'm getting tired of these pigeons.

- [man] Ready, boss. - Good. Hey!

Don't brake with the engine.

- [man] Relax. - Did you hear me?

Hey!

Brother!

- [man] What? - Are you sure you can do this?

Relax, I got this.

That's right.

Little shit.

[lively music playing]

[lively music continues on radio]

[lively music fading]

[tense music playing]

What did you get for question two?

[Nancy] X equals nine. How about you?

Same.

Did you take my hair clips?

Why would I take them? I don't use them.

I need them for my bun.

Your hair looks nice like that.

I'm going to the supermarket, Nancy. Do you need anything?

Yes, we're out of chocolate milk.

Okay. Let's go, Dulce.

[door opens and closes]

- I didn't picture your room like this. - Put down Patty or we're not having sex.

Hey, I was thinking that...

maybe you would want something more romantic?

You think so?

Actually, this seems perfect.

[soft guitar music playing]

[soft guitar music continues]

[Silverio] Mercedes, tidy up those sacks. Look at the state of this place.

- [Mercedes] Yes, sir. - Then give the animals water.

Sir.

How are you, Silverio?

How can I help you, kid?

I don't know if you remember me.

I did a small job for you a few years ago.

On an old truck you had.

Yes, I remember you.

I wanted to know if you had any work.

If you needed help with anything.

We're full-up.

We have all the help we're going to need.

That's too bad.

Thank you.

Hey, kid!

Come back next week.

We'll find you something.

[Paquito] Thank you, I appreciate it.

May God reward you.

[soft guitar music continues]

[siren wails]

[car slows and stops]

Yes?

We're looking for someone.

Maybe you've seen him.

- [Paquito] There's no one here. - No one?

Look.

There was a theft.

They say the suspect was wearing...

baggy pants...

and white sneakers...

and a white t-shirt...

with white gray and red stripes.

- Fuck! - [officer] Hey! Motherfucker!

[dramatic music playing]

Hey. Hey.

- [officer] Fucker. - I didn't do anything.

- [officer] You're screwed. - I didn't do anything.

I didn't do it.

[panting]

[officer] Come on, Mr. Comedian, tell us the jokes.

- [Paquito] It was a joke. - This is a joke too.

- I haven't done anything. - Settle down.

Don't move.

Head down, asshole.

[somber music playing]

- [woman] ID? - He doesn't have any.

[woman] Name?

Francisco Ruiz Medina.

I didn't do it.

Shut up, asshole.

[woman] Holding cell five.

- ID? - He doesn't have any.

[Érika] Do you want a lift?

No, Paquito is picking me up.

Okay. You'll close up?

- [Aracely] Sure. - Okay.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

[officer in English] Crossing card, manifest, and 3299 please.

- All right, have a nice day. - Thank you, sir.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[in Spanish] My name is Flor María.

Nayeli.

When did you get here?

Where are you from?

I'm from El Salvador.

[door opens]

We're here for the girls.

No one told me.

[tense music playing]

Here are the jalapeños.

[metallic clanging]

Sit there.

[man] You, come.

Come on.

- [Flor María screams] - [man] Shut up.

[somber music playing]

[Flor María groaning]

[winces]

[Nayeli] My name is Nayeli.

I'm from San Antonio de las Flores. Honduras.

I have two sisters.

Hemelinda and Daisy.

My brother was Aureliano...

but he died.

I was on the bus with my friend Gilda.

But then the driver...

they stopped.

They stopped the bus.

[guard] There.

Strip down.

Step forward.

- Squat. - What?

[doctor] Do three squats.

[guard] Start counting.

[guard] Let's go.

[inmate] Is this the new guy?

He's so pretty!

- [groaning] - [laughter]

[man 1] What do they call you?

What do the girls scream when you make them cum?

Paquito.

Say hello to Commander Enano.

[stammers] Hello.

[man 2] Do you have money?

Cash to pay for your rent and meals.

You're in our territory.

No, nothing.

For fuck's sake.

Put this faggot in Block C.
