Original subtitles

This movie is based on events that could be real.

Good morning, everyone. Thanks for being here.

We’re glad you’ve taken this first step,

because this industry has great potential to contribute

to the economic development of Puerto Rico.

The cannabis industry is heavily regulated.

Therefore, if any of you have a criminal record,

you may leave now,

because you will not be able to work in this industry.

We deeply regret the inconvenience.

Without further ado, what we’ve all been waiting for: our master grower, Josué Vélez.

Thank you!

Today we’re going to be talking about the cultivation of the cannabis plant,

or how many of you know it: grass, pot, weed, Mary Jane.

Simply put, marijuana.

This is an extremely special plant.

Quite special.

Which is why it requires such special care.

There are three specific factors that should be present during the process,

that is, if we wish to have a healthy and abundant harvest:

temperature,

light

and humidity.

Let’s remember that, despite its multiple uses, our interest lies in its psychoactive and medicinal properties,

which means the quality of the flower is critical.

Once you dominate its language, believe me, the soil of the Caribbean, especially Puerto Rico’s,

possesses the perfect qualities and infinite possibilities for the growth of this industry.

Where are Mommy’s pretty babies?

Here!

Who’s a pretty baby?

[Unintelligible baby talk]

AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION

-Come in, c’mon! -How’s it hanging?

So, how much do you want?

Don’t know. Two nugs?

Two nugs?!

I told you I wouldn’t be leaving the house for dubs.

Two nugs! How much do you want?

Okay, so an eight, then.

Let me explain, Marysol.

Currently banks are not providing funds for this type of business.

What do you mean “this type of business”?

The medical cannabis industry is regulated by federal laws.

Even though it’s “legal” in Puerto Rico, it’s still technically illegal.

I don't understand...

Until recently there were some credit unions that provided these services,

but even they’re not doing it any longer.

So, what are my options?

Your only options are having the capital or having an investor who does.

Otherwise, it’ll be very difficult.

Would that be it?

Yes.

I’m very sorry.

Me too.

Have a nice day.

You too.

I’ll see y’all. Square up over the cell, okay?

Over the cell, as usual. See ya!

Bye!

-Thank you, love. -I love you!

You pass it! You never do.

Whoa, cops!! Seat belt! Cop!

Put it away and put on your seat belts.

I’m gonna keep going, I don’t think he saw us.

Fuck, he stopped us!

Lower all the windows, I’m gonna blast the A/C.

I told you! And with mom’s car, too. Dammit, here he comes.

Cool it, let me do the talking.

Driver's license and vehicle registration.

Don't look at me like that, this is a job like any other!

Delivering babies for strangers.

You have no shame, Wanda.

Twice already and no C-sections!

What’s going to happen the day you want a child of your own?

Bringing a child into such a screwed up world?!

I don’t think so.

All that sacrifice. For what?

I have my plans, mom. I don't plan on living here forever.

Do you want milk on your coffee? There’s just a bit for your dad.

You can have it black.

Write it well, don’t make shit up.

Lend me a cloth, I spilled some.

Already made a mess?

That’s my thing, you know, the mess. Here.

-This pen doesn't work, give me another. -Check this one.

-This one? -Yeah.

Junk… Buy good pens! Don’t be so stingy.

Pay your bill, then.

Verde Luz from end to end, bud! It can’t lose.

Whatcha’ say?

-Verde Luz! -Verde Luz?

You sure? How do you know?

Listen up, old man. That mare bites like the wind.

If it loses, I’ll cut it off!

I’ll run after you with a rusty machete I have back home.

Hey! Here.

Decided?

Yes, here. Put $20 on Verde Luz.

“Second race of the day. Aaand they’re off!"

"Verde Luz immediately trying to dominate the lead. Staying inside..."

Coming ahead, I told ya! I told ya, man, I told ya!

"After the first turn, Verde Luz still at the lead..."

Verde Luz don’t stay behind! Shake her up, dammit!

That’s it, whip her, dammit! Run, bitch!

Let her run! Fucking hell, run!

“….and lagging behind, Verde Luz.”

Son of a bitch!

Looks like someone's losing his balls!

Have you been in contact with any controlled substances

since the last time we met?

Rolando, please…

Have you had any trouble with the ankle monitor?

Wow, Mom, are you a moron!?

Wanda, I’ve told you a thousand times I don’t like it when you speak to me like that, darn it!

I’m your mother, I deserve some respect, what’s wrong with you?

The boob milk is for the boys at the gym, who use it to gain muscle mass.

They pay me a pretty penny!

But this? I can't sell it like this!

I just don't understand why you can't get a normal job.

A normal job, Mom?

Please explain what that is.

What’s going on?

Want some water?

-I’m better now. -Yes?

-Thank you. -I’ll see you out.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

I read this helps boost your high.

I didn’t get the loan, dude.

You have to be a millionaire to do this.

I know it’s fucking shitty to get rejected, man,

but forget about it!

Your buds are way too good to fall in the hands of industrialization.

Forget it, let it go.

You were supposed to do the dishes today.

I was gonna, but you came early.

Also, there’s nothing on the street, Mary. Everyone’s balked.

Why? Why?

Because those dispensary people have taken over everyone’s business.

And that’s just not fair, Mary.

Yup!

-And what’s going on with the dispensaries? -What’s going on?

They’re empty!

Full of clients, empty shelves. Always.

No buds to be found. No flowers, just crap.

Of course, because they gave everyone permits to sell, but just a few permits to produce.

No, Mary! If you ask me,

if you ask me,

it’s sketchy as all hell out.

That's changing, Nico.

That’s why we need to get ahead of the competition

and start producing great quality. That’s what’s needed, quality.

I agree, Mary, producing, yes! But not for those people, girl.

Not for them.

Hello!

Look who’s here.

Damned gate.

How are you?

Fine. You?

-Dealing with loads of bastards in the street. -Really?

God bless.

Thank you.

-Did you have lunch? -Yes.

How about some coffee?

I’d never say no to coffee.

Yeah?

Light on milk, heavy on sugar, right?

You’re the best.

-Watch the milk you use! -Wanda del Carmen, stop it!

-Give us a kiss. -Ugh, Tebo, stop it!

I'm in a bad mood and I don't want to take it out on you.

So mean! Look what I brought you.

No?

Fuck it’s hot.

That explains it!

The stink of bacon hits the sidewalk.

Daddy! Don't be rude.

Forgive me, sweetheart,

but I haven't been busting my balls and working all my fucking life

to come home to find a fucking cop

sitting at MY table like a fruit fly buzzing around all day long.

Well, let me tell you that Tebo’s like family.

It’s okay. If your dad doesn't want me here, I'll go.

Tebo, hun!

Your coffee.

He said he had an engagement and had to leave.

Dagnabbit.

You know what my dream is, Nico?

I dream of a farm full of marijuana plants.

-Full of marijuana plants growing happy and free. -Beautiful!

-Each with their own personality. -Gorgeous.

-Yeah, healthy, strong. With a great heart! -Yeah, healthy!

With a great heart!

Exactly! Flowers with a great heart. Buds with a great heart.

Rows and rows, like those farms you see from the highway, looking like a sleek side part…

-I’m seeing it! -A banana plantation, but marijuana.

-Like a sugar cane plantation. -Wow!

Yeah, I see it.

Girl!

A marijuanation!!

Ele?

Yeah, I’m here!

What is it?

Oh, Elegido.

Another letter arrived.

Good God!

C’mon, calm down.

No, don’t get like that.

Don’t cry, love, you ugly cry and I get depressed.

It’s gonna be fine. These are generic letters, nothing important.

I’ll go down there tomorrow and I’ll take care of it.

Oh, Heavens above!

Hello!

-Milk’s here. -I want some.

Here you go, hun! How many?

Four for me.

Take the six-pack, I’ll give you a good deal.

Yeah, but how much?

Bottles are $60, so $350 for you.

-C’mon, $340! -Yeah.

No, $350.

And you know it’s only cash or mobile pay.

You know I’m mobile all the way, baby girl.

Frozen popsicles at $20.

"Don’t be like that” “Don’t ghost me”

“I miss ya bb”

"PLEASE DON’T CONTACT ME AGAIN!!"

Mom!

Ma?

Ma!?

Oh! Oh, you sure startled me!

What are you doing up there?

Putting away coupons and stuff like that.

I don't want you to worry, really.

I vote no, and don’t get any ideas.

Why not? I’m telling you I'll take care of everything.

Because! At my age I'm not going to become a dealer.

It's not drugs, Dad!

It's marijuana, it’s a plant.

Cannabis is the scientific name.

I don't care if it's the scientific name, the stage name,

or the nickname they used at school,

it’s all the same. It’s drugs, love.

And really…

I'm too old for that.

And I'm not putting your mom in that position.

I love it!

It’s like a family business.

Exactly!

It’d be the first thing we do as a family in a long time.

Wanda, try and cooperate.

Check this out.

Since the law passed, thousands of dispensaries have opened all over the Island.

You’ve seen them.

That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re doing well.

The governor’s saying that Puerto Rico could be the foremost exporter of hemp in the Caribbean!

The governor is a cocksucker.

Elegido, listen to me,

they’re seeing it as an option to the crisis.

My crew, we need to take advantage of this opportunity!

Think. Think!

We could be selling directly to the dispensaries.

We could be a family of cannabis producers!

I’m sorry, Marysol, but no.

Roli?

Ma?

Say something!

Think about it, Dad, this could be a way to save the house.

Elegido,

let's hear her out.

Mary!

Okay…

First off: we’re going to refer to it as cannabis, its scientific name.

Okay? Not weed or pot or any of that...

Mary. Make your point, please... Go on.

My, that’s nice!

Let me get a whiff.

Wow!

Where’d you get that?

I grew it myself with my own hands.

In your apartment? On your own?

But, Mary, that’s so dangerous!

Which is exactly why I want to go legal and do it properly.

But that means licenses, permits, complying with all the government regulations...

Buying equipment, hiring staff...

Mary, Mary… Marysol!

Talk to me in clams! How much is it?

To do it legally, you know? Big time, right?

I calculate it’s around $80 to $100 thousand bucks.

What!?

Nothing!

That's a lot of money, Marysol!

If we had that much money we wouldn't be having this conversation, sweetheart.

Okay, but I have a plan!

For now, what we have to do is find a small place, where we can plant a single crop, okay?

We save what we make from that, bit by bit until we have the money to go legal.

Okay?

What we need is an initial investment.

Well, I have some money set aside for something else,

but if you pay me back with interest

plus I earn something on the side, I’m in.

She’s a real cash cow.

That’s awesome!

Okay! I thought we could use the small room in the back.

Where Mother passed away?

The answer is no, and that’s that!

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.

You okay?

I’m fine.

You?

Fine.

Even better now.

Ele, what’s going to happen?

Nothing, I’ll deal with it, as usual.

Oh, and Wanda. That was a noble gesture.

-Yeah, Wanda’s a good girl. -Of course she is!

-She has a good heart. -Yes, she does.

Being such a hothead holds her back.

Yeah, well,

but after offering up her money, it would be like snubbing her, I feel.

Marysol’s plan is batshit.

You think?

I was thinking,

Marysol’s actually quite smart.

She’s no fool, you know?

And she’s got a plan, which is more than we can say.

And if it doesn't work out?

Well, we can take precautions, you know?

We seek professional advice and all of that.

If it works, it works,

if it doesn't, we’ll face it as a family, as we always have.

-I think it’s quite beautiful. -Look…

-Hey... Shh! -What?

I heard someone. I heard someone.

There’s no one.

-Shut up. -There’s no...

-There’s someone there. -There’s no one.

-Be quiet. -You get paranoid when you’re high.

-I heard someone. -You’re paranoid. There’s no one.

[Talking unintelligibly]

Hurry up.

Take it easy! This is full of dust,

you know I’m asthmatic and it’s bad for me.

You mean senile.

Senile’s the thing hanging between your legs!

Old bastard.

Dad, Mom...

Thank you, you won’t regret it.

I know.

Question:

What about Tebo? You gonna be up front with him?

No, no, no! Tebo can't find out.

He could help.

What’s wrong with you?!

Tebo’s a policeman, you know?

If we're doing this, we do it well or we don't do it.

Because if there’s someone here who knows about this, it’s me.

I’ve been scoring at the projects forever: six for $5,

$5 cones, and sometimes they even mixed in parsley on the weed.

In a space like this, how much money do you think we can generate?

About…

$40 thousand.

Dollars?!

Mm-hmm.

There are expenses and all, but...

But…

How come you didn't think of this before?

So… What’s the next step?

As a family, grow the most bitchin’ buds in all of Puerto Rico.

[Marysol] Wanda, first off,

we’ll need you to withdraw your money from the bank in cash.

This will require effort and dedication, so please don’t get knocked up.

Mom, I’m giving you a list with the materials we need.

You and Wanda will buy everything in cash, so there’s no record of the transactions.

I beg you, please try not to draw too much attention.

What we can’t get here, we’ll buy online.

Roli, you’ll help me with that.

Dad, we can’t bring heat to the house, so we need a different address to receive the equipment,

and no one can see you receiving the packages, okay?

We must be discreet!

We must clean and disinfect everything before preparing the walls.

Temperature is super important for the plants to grow properly,

so we’ll cover all the room in insulated material.

And the A/C can NEVER be turned off.

We’ll also need a couple of fans to complement.

Music! You’re the best.

We begin in small pots and the irrigation system has to be distributed perfectly.

The environment needs to be perfect to grow a high-quality product.

We can’t screw this up!

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I’m starting to like smoking as a family.

I’ve prayed long and hard for us to bond as a family.

And isn’t it special that it’s happening at Mother’s room?

Wanda?

Wanda!

Relax, it's Tebo.

What do you mean? Tebo can't see this!

Hey, Tebo!

What’s that smell?

Right now it smells of pig.

Old bastard.

It’s just this, a lavender freshener.

Was someone smoking marijuana here?

I'm getting the hell out of here. Let me know when the Police has left my house.

Wait Dad…

Your dad hates me, man. That sucks.

He doesn't hate you.

He calls me “pig” to my face, didn’t you hear?

It's not you, it's the uniform.

Don’t start with that now.

Dad, we have to do things right, okay?

Our business is going to fail and we haven't even began.

Which is why I said we shouldn't be letting a cop in.

But since nobody listens to me in this house!

Tebo knows.

I told him.

I can help you.

Help us? What are you talking about?

You know what I’m talking about.

You need me.

-No! -Please!

I said no, and that’s final.

But let’s talk about it.

No. Your sister fucked up, and that’s that!

Daddy, Tebo’s trustworthy.

Trustworthy?! Get out of here. A trustworthy cop, Wanda, really?!

Please!

Don Ele, if you’ll allow me--

Look, Tebo, I don't know what Wanda told you, but it's a lie.

She made it all up. Bye!

Don Ele, if you’re going to do what you’re going to do,

you’re going to need my help.

Help for what? What help?

Well, in case anything happens, God forbid.

Where do you think they’re going to start investigating?

The Police do not follow up on internal investigations, Don Elegido.

That’s here, you faggot.

But this is federal!

In this country, the Feds go anywhere they want and do whatever the fuck they want.

Look what happened to Filiberto!

What happened to him?

I can't believe this. Only the three of you could think of something so stupid.

Listen here, Dad, this is temporary.

Once we go legal we have nothing to worry about.

And how long will that take, Marysol?

If all goes well, a couple of months; less than a year.

"If everything goes well, a couple of months, a year”?

Well then, you deal with him, I don't want to see or hear him in my house.

Okay?

Don Ele, you’re making the right choice--

Shut your mouth, please.

Come see what we did.

-It’s a lot of plants? -A shitload!

That asshole better not jinx our business.

And tell him not to park the bike in front of the house anymore.

He brings heat to the house, dammit!

I’m leaving.

And where are you going?

Where do you think I’m going?

Work.

Damn, Wanda!

Isn’t it sweet?

This is definitely sweet!

This looks quite professional.

And I’m the main investor.

Who are you planning on selling all this to?

Don’t know.

No, no you go. Take a look at that!

A real beauty.

-What’s up? -How’s it going?

Here, dancing with the ugly one, you know how it is.

-At least you’re dancing. -Always, man! Always.

Indio, I wanted to ask you...

Who do you deal with?

Who do I deal with what? Hey, not here!

I told you a thousand times not to stand here when you’re that stoned.

You’re worse than gas, man, let him be, he’s not hurting anyone.

What were you asking?

I have a little something that may interest you.

Green?

Problem is, not many people in that league any longer.

Dispensaries are holding happy hours: Two-For-One.

If it weren’t for the poison, I’d called it quits a long time ago.

I have this product and I'm looking for a good suitor.

The Whip.

Trujillo Alto.

Now, that's rough people, in the sticks. Hardcore.

Let’s do something…

Just connect me.

Well,

I’ll call and then touch base.

Okay.

Now, if this goes through,

when you’re with The Whip, say I asked for the flashlights.

The flashlights. Okay.

Thank you, Indio.

Don't thank me, dude, that's between you two.

I know nothing.

What was that?

Hey! Who won?

Verde Luz!

Oh, man…

Go to hell!

Love ya!

How are Mommy’s beautiful babies?

Wanda!

Whatcha doin’? I was listening to that.

-What’s up with this heat? -Right?!

I thought it was my hormones.

-Did you check the thermostat? -The what?

No, no…

-Mom! -Oh! What?

Do you know what happened with the A/C in the warehouse?

Oh, I turned it off. The electricity bill went through the roof!

Look, I’m not even using the dryer. Why?

That A/C can't be turned off, Mom!

Okay, love, we’ll turn it on, no problem. I didn’t know. Nobody ever tells me a thing.

Yes, I explained it to everyone. Of course I said it!

We’ll just turn it back on, what’s the big deal?

That’s not the way it works, people!

What?

Love, but… Gosh, you can’t get like that.

How?! Tell me how?

Take it easy.

But are the plants okay?

Please don’t tell me I screwed up!

I’ll deal with that now, what’s important is:

if you see something strange or irregular, call me immediately.

Why don't you come check them yourself?

That’s why the tasks were divided, Wanda.

Problem is, everyone here loves a free ride.

Seriously?! You know that if it weren't for me, this wouldn’t be happening?

Nothing’s happened yet, because we haven’t sold a penny.

Oh!

Now we haven't done a thing!

But it was you who came through the door like a pots and pans salesman

saying this was a chill business, to trust you, and you're never here! What is it you do?

Please don't fight.

What do I do?

Well, I’m a college student. I study, Wanda. I have other responsibilities.

On the other hand, you always have your head up your ass. Always!

That’s why you can’t commit to this.

Don't you talk to me about commitment, little shit,

because when Roli got arrested and Mom lost her job,

you hooked up with the first guy you could find and you left!

What did you want me to do? Rot here like you?

Get her off my face, Mom, before I slap her until she forgets what she just said!

Fucking bitch!

Stop that, gosh darn it!

Acting so trashy, you’re sisters!

You salty ‘cause the truth stings like alcohol on open sores.

Stop that. Stop that already.

Stop it. Stop.

-Stop that! -Not so gutsy now, eh?!

That’s enough.

Roli!

Roli!

-Stop that! -Don’t you mess with me!

Stop!

No, no! I'm gonna kill her, I'm gonna kill her!

That’s it, okay.

-Roli, let go! -You scratched all my face with my earring, asshole!

Fuck! Let go!

You scratched my whole face, you savage!

You were lucky, little shit. And you know what? I want my money back now!

You’ll have your money when the buds sell.

Fuck that!

If that's how things are going to be, I want out of this business.

I want my money and I want it now!

We had a shitty life but it was peaceful.

Until we let this bitch talk us into growing marijuana in the house!

You can't be yelling marijuana like that!

Medicinal cannabis, dammit!

Wanda!

Don’t fuck with me, Tebo, I'm really not in the mood!

What happened?

The same old shit. I want to leave this dump

and start over somewhere else where I don’t know a soul!

You can do all of that. You can totally start over.

With what money, Tebo?

I don't have a penny to my name, and the little I had I gave to that bitch and now it’s all fucked!

You have me.

Don't get corny with me, I get even more pissed off!

Jeez, Wanda.

That’s just a piece of board with four wheels, dude!

These guys are doing art right now, you know?

It’s so beautiful, man…

And now it’s an Olympic sport! I’m going on and on, my bad!

Just a sec.

Mary, finally!

Please tell me you have something for me,

I’m running out and these bastards are hooked on your shit, baby!

Tell me.

“Nico, listen up. We have a problem.”

What happened?

“When I came home, the plants were super weird, out of whack. Inadvertently Mom turned off the A/C.”

Oh, don’t say that.

How long have they been like that?

If it hasn’t been long it'll be fine, right?

No problem!

It’ll just take a bit longer getting them out…

The rest is fine, I’ve spoken here to everyone. Chill.

“Nico, I’d help if you could come by to check on them when I can’t.”

Mary, I’m here and I’ll support you, okay?

But I’ll do it from here. You know I don’t want to be seen around your house.

That cop friend of yours really brings the heat. You know that!

You know it!

The rest will be fine.

Simmer down and have faith, okay?

-“Okay, cool.” -Cool?

-“Cool.” -Good. I’ll call later, then.

“Okay, bye.”

Money’s about to rain down!

How’s Daddy’s beautiful little girl?

What happened? Are you crying?

Lovesick?

The plants are ruined.

What do you mean?

They’re gonna be fine, but it’s not the quality I like, Dad.

But that’s nothing, you’re the only one who can tell, the people on the street don’t know better.

It’s not nothing, a lot of detail goes into this.

Now Wanda freaked out and split and she wants her money back.

Forget about Wanda, that’s not important,

the important thing is the product. We can just pay your sister back.

I hadn’t told you, but…

I contacted some people

who are really interested.

We’re meeting next week.

The flowers won’t be ready by then and much less after what happened today.

We’re gonna have to speed up the process, Marysol.

They have to be ready!

How much do these people want?

Hold onto your seat.

All of it.

How do you like that?

All of it.

Cheers!

Ugh, Pa!

“Keep straight on Road 157.”

“Then turn right.”

“Turn right."

“Keep right on the fork.”

“Turn right.”

Geez.

“Turn right.”

The right?

I don’t think your friend on the phone knows how to get there.

Of course, it’s Google Maps.

So we’re just gonna jump down the cliff there…

Calm down, Elegido!

Fuck this! Let’s get the hell out of here, this stinks!

You’re freaking out. Calm down, this was your idea. Breathe!

I’m calm, Marysol.

I’m calm, okay?

Two bikes coming up, shut up.

-Hello! -What’s up?

-How’s it going? -What do you want?

I’m looking for The Whip.

Indio sent me.

-Indio? Wait a sec. -I’m Elegido.

Who’s she?

She’s my daughter, Marysol.

On behalf of Indio.

"Escort them to the ranch. Tell Menor to close the back."

Follow me.

What?

Everything’s okay, what is it?

Jeez! What the hell did you get us into, Pa?

Lord Almighty, look at this…

Get down.

You can’t be scared, Marysol, get down.

Good afternoon!

Come on.

How are you?

Yeah, uh, Indio sent me.

Elegido, nice to meet you.

A real pleasure.

She’s Marysol, my daughter.

Hello, Marysol, nice to meet you.

We’re here looking for The Whip.

[Unintelligible]

Excuse me?

[Unintelligible]

Monday? I should come on Monday?

[Unintelligible]

Yes, but could we talk to The Whip just for five minutes?

[Unintelligible]

It’s just… Excuse me. We’ve come all the way from San Juan, so five minutes, really quickly.

Or we can go, it’s okay.

If it’s okay.

[Unintelligible]

To go with him?

[Unintelligible]

[Unintelligible]

It’s okay, Wichi, bring ‘em over.

Come on over.

-It’s okay? Good afternoon! -Of course, welcome!

How are you? I’m Elegido, Indio sent me.

Of course, bro, no worries, I know who you are.

We’re looking for The Whip.

Well, you’ve found her.

Vivian, The Whip.

Oh, it’s you? You’re The Whip?

And who’s the pretty young lady?

My daughter, Marysol.

She’s the creator of the product we’d like to present to you.

We have races tonight, you know? I hope you’re not in a hurry.

Horse races?

Yeah!

Our baby girl races tonight, Candela.

Look at that.

This is our pride, right here. Legendary.

Oh, how you love ‘em!

I saw her being born, very difficult foaling.

She’s one of the best.

She’s a real beauty.

It’s such a shame we need to leave ‘cause we told Mom we’d be home for dinner. But…

You need to experience this. Come.

-But… -C’mon.

It’s okay.

Maybe it’s part of the ritual, who knows?

-Relax, everything’s okay, this is a family business. -Okay.

Just relax.

I got ‘em.

Don't move!

Do the line straight this time, fool.

Stay still, then.

Roli, you think people really fall in love? It's bullshit, right?

I don’t know, dude.

My bad.

“Proceed with registration information. The suspect was seen around the patrol area.”

“The description matches the vehicle.”

Don't move!

When are you quitting that job?

I don’t know, man.

It sucks, but it's work.

What’s the code to go to the bathroom?

1019, I think.

But forget about it, man, we must think positive thoughts. Things are going well.

Your sister’s thing is flowing.

And you, bro!

Your probation’s ending and they’ll take off the ankle monitor. You’ll see!

I have a 1019 in progress, developing into emergency mode.

Wanda.

Wanda! What are you doing?

-Taking my share. Stay out of it! -Shh! Lower your voice.

No one’s gonna screw me over, dammit!

What am I supposed to do, let that asshole fuck me over?

Not happening! Hell no!

Shut the fuck up, dammit!

Where you-- Who’s that guy?

Uber driver.

Motherfucker!

Milagros. Doña Milly!

Oh, yes! Coming.

-This is Rolando’s medical history. -Yes.

-Here’s enough for a month. -Okay.

Remember it’s not covered by the medical plan.

I know. It should, but we know how things are.

So,

how much do I owe you?

-$357.00 -Wow, that’s a lot!

Here it is. Please check.

“Mrs. Lugo, your prescription is ready.”

-It’s all here. -Fine? Okay.

Ah! Lord! What is…?

Oh, what a scare! I thought it was a bug or something…

-Seems I got stuck on... -A thistle.

-...a branch or something. -A branch.

Good Lord, Dad! Those horses are jittery.

They’re not, they’re racing, that’s what they do!

Please let’s go home.

Not until we square things out.

-You still want to do business with these people? -Of course.

-I don't get a good vibe from them. - Having fun, eh?

Tons, right?

Great!

Wichi, get a preferential box seat for the girl, to get her a better view.

-No, it's okay. -Go, go with Wichi.

If you want anything to eat, order whatever you like, it’s on me.

Elegido, come!

No!

I’ll be right back.

-Dad. -Just a sec.

-Dad. -Wait here.

-This is gonna be a special night! -Elegido López!

[Unintelligible]

What?

[Unintelligible]

Let’s go!

Thank you.

Vivian, wait up!

I have $40, which one do I bet on?

What do you think? Candela, of course.

Candela, okay.

Wait, let’s fill that out.

Five papers. Put it all on our baby.

Over there with Bebeto, with all the bling.

Okay.

Here! $540 on Verde Luz.

Verde Luz!

Count it.

You have to simmer down, Wanda. You can't get like that every time you’re pissed off!

Get out of my way, asshole! I want to leave, dammit!

Wanda,

we have something good happening here, but you need to calm down, you need to take it easy.

We have to wait.

I'm sick and tired of waiting.

Sick and tired of being taken for a ride, of all the hopes and dreams I’ve been sold.

Take a look at where I’m living. Look!

This was not the plan!

I need to have something.

Something that’s mine!

I can’t keep going around begging, scraping by...

Hustling and hustling, for what?

Always screwed.

I’ve been supporting this family for too long,

And what for? They don't even thank me.

Thank you, my love--

-Thank you my ass, dammit! Out of the way! -Wanda, Wanda!

Out of the way, Tebo, I wanna leave!

Out of the way, dammit!

Shh, shh.

I’m tired. I’m so tired. I wanna leave.

No. Wait, Wanda, wait. Your brother…

Who cares? C’mon.

Wait.

“The race of the year, the one we’ve all been waiting for. Two mares for the crown, we’re almost off!”

“The champion from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico: Candela! No one can beat her.”

“They say she’s undefeated.”

“Let’s see who’s coming to challenge her, in the box right now.”

-“And looking for trouble…” -Candela!

“...from Jayuya, Puerto Rico: Verde Luz!”

“She says she’s kicking Candela off the throne. Who are you betting on?”

“Verde Luz comes flying low, Candela won’t take it lying down, the undefeated champion.”

“Let’s see! Race of the year, the one we’ve all been waiting for.”

“And they’re off, hold on to your wig!”

[Fast race commentary]

“…not easy! Both racing. The champion’s not taking it, the challenger’s coming!”

“The champion and the challenger neck and neck. Who are you betting on?”

“Last stretch now. Things are really close! Who’ll be the winner tonight? Let’s wait and see!”

“It’s close! A new champion: Verde Luz!”

“Hold on to your wig, we have a new champion!”

Fuuuck!

“What a race, my friends! What a race!”

“I’m sure no one was expecting to have a new champion tonight.”

-Dad? -“The speed surprised us all.”

What happened?

She won!

“We’re all surprised, but must congratulate Verde Luz on that amazing race. The race of the year!”

[Unintelligible]

[Unintelligible]

Yes, but do it clean.

Hey, father-in-law, what the hell was that?

Forgive me, Vivian,

it was an impulse.

I’m impulsive like that, you can ask my girl.

But the important thing is that we won, right?

What did we win?

What did we win? A ton of money!

You like money a lot?

What do you think?

Of course!

See here, for me money’s not important.

What happened exactly?

Nothing, a…

There was a misunderstanding between us.

Your dad and I have two very different concepts of what it means to win.

What was that?

Well…

Let's see if this is any good.

This is very good.

Wichi, bring the cookies.

So…

Vivian, how does it usually go?

Are you looking for sellers all the time or is this a one-time thing?

As the butcher says, one cut at a time.

You see, the old me?

The old me would have had your head a while ago.

But I’m starting to really like your baby,

and I wanna give you a chance.

[Unintelligible]

That’s a good one, Wichi!

This guy!

What was it he said?

‘Cause I can’t understand him.

-Of course you do. -Not one bit.

What do you mean you can’t understand him?

He asked when you’re bringing more.

It’d take a while.

This… This was a small batch.

It’s my crazy idea and I involved the whole family, and…

These are my babies.

This flower we’re sampling right now...

So delicious, Marysol!

Jamaican flower.

Well, that’s my product.

I want to take it to mass production, but got denied a loan.

No!

Yeah.

And now I’m trying to do it bit by bit to get ahead and continue growing the business. That’s my dream.

I’m gonna help you.

No, it’s fine.

I’m gonna help you.

-No, don’t worr- - -Wichi,

bring something for the girl to get her started.

Hold on.

That’s how we do things here.

This is for you.

When your thing is ready, it’ll be for me.

It won’t be ready, thanks anyway.

Think about it. Marysol, wait.

-Dad... -Don’t be rash.

-Don’t be hasty. -It won’t be ready, thanks.

I have faith in you.

Me too.

It’ll be ready.

When opportunity knocks, you open the door. We need to make an effort, she needs this order…

-We can’t… ...and we’ll deliver.

Of course we’ll deliver.

[Unintelligible]

That’s for Indio.

The flashlights, right?

Motherfucking Indio!

You’ll pay for this one, you bastard.

We’ll be seeing each other.

Of course.

Can you tell me what the fuck did you just do?

Everything’s okay, don't worry. Everything’s fine.

I hope you know what you’re doing.

Of course I do.

-What happened? -Fuck, you startled me, Marysol!

I was taking a leak, that’s all.

Go back to sleep.

Good afternoon!

Hello!

May I come in?

Honey, there’s a young lady outside who wants to talk to you.

Sit up straight.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Make yourself at home.

Hello!

My name is Gloria Papaleo. I’m the new social worker in your case.

What happened to Beltrán?

Beltrán is just fine.

The court assigned the case to me to evaluate the possibility of terminating your probation.

You fucking with me?

Sorry!

Are you serious?

It all depends on the evaluation.

May I have your foot?

Good.

Here’s your file.

Just a few routine questions first.

Okay. Marijuana possession charges…

You suffered physical trauma while serving your sentence in 2015.

Tell me about the incident while you were in prison.

I was sleeping.

Four guys attacked me.

One of the blows caught me in the trachea.

Rolando,

anything you can help us with will expedite the process.

The court tends to see good behavior as a sign of rehabilitation.

But any irregularities, anything out of place can jeopardize the process.

You understand that, right?

Miss Papaleo, a question.

You may call me Gloria.

Gloria,

would you give an ex-con a job?

Of course. If the person’s qualified for the job, yes.

And would you date an ex-con?

Why?

Now that I’m going to be a free man, I’m considering my options.

That's the spirit.

I like your enthusiasm, Rolando.

...pay me what you owe me, plus interest and my share of the profit,

which I need to get the fuck out of this house!

What profits, Wanda?

You pulled out of the business.

You took me out, or tried to.

I'm not a dumbass, you know?

-You look like one. -That’s it!

Some shady shit’s going on back there.

Shady shit? Really?!

Suck my shady!

Wanda!

They're getting me off probation.

Lord almighty, happy news!

I’ve prayed so long for this moment, my love.

I’m so happy!

Don't worry about me, I was just leaving.

Mary, mother of Christ! What’s this?

What is this?

And what’s with the getup?

-Like it? -No!

Stop joshing around! I bought gifts for everyone, come see.

Dad! And this car?

It’s…

It’s a long story, I’ll tell you later.

This is for you.

Pa,

they're getting me off probation.

Yes, finally!

Great news, buddy. Dammit!

See? I told you this family would finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, God dammit!

Where did this beast come from?!

Dad, look me in the eye and tell me, did you buy that car?

All work and no play makes you a dull boy, Marysol, we should also enjoy ourselves a bit.

Dad, are you thick?!

What did you just call me?

So there’s money for cars and gifts,

but they still refuse to give me my share.

Wanda, stop it already, we already told you you’re getting your money!

When!?

Lower your voice.

I can’t believe this.

Now what do you want?

Go on with your lives, I’m no longer part of this family.

I’ll take my money and they won't see a hair on my head ever again!

Wanda,

you need to take it easy. Everything’s going to work out. You’ll see.

Tebo, I'm pregnant.

But I’m not keeping it.

Don't talk like that, Wanda.

I’ll do the responsible thing. You know that.

Puh-lease!

Besides, I don't know if it's yours.

How much do we have left?

Practically all of it.

Elegido, how much?

How much? I’ll tell you.

About thirty… Almost forty thousand dollars. I spent almost nothing.

Out of the sixty they gave us?!

Who understands you women?

We were behind on the house payments, now we’re not. What more do you want, dammit?

Okay, okay.

But you blew away the other half on junk, Dad!

We still owe those people more than half of the merchandise.

This isn’t ours!

You know what? From now on, Mom will be in charge of managing the money.

W- Wait.

-No. -Wait just a sec.

No, no way. You made a great sale,

but we can’t screw up any more.

So it's time for us women to take care of the important decisions.

Interests accumulate with each passing day.

Let's calm down, okay?

I’m putting this money away and then we decide what we’re going to do.

Okay? Trust me.

Trust you!

Don’t worry, baby, I’ll take care of that one.

God dammit!

Scared the hell out of me. I’m…

looking for some old pants. Milagros loves hiding my old clothes.

I’d like to thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me,

and you should know that whatever happens, I'll do the responsible thing.

My grandpa used to say men- -

Yeah, look, Tebo,

I appreciate what you’ve done for my family, but that's it.

You’re here because my children love you

and I love them.

Especially Roli,

who sees you as a brother, no clue as to why.

But then you went to work for the people who fucked up his life.

You know? Because they fucked him up bad, you know that.

I already promised Roli I’d quit, but, well...

You better.

Ele?

Jeez.

Could we give Wanda her share? I'm a bit worried, ‘cause--

I've already spoken to Marysol

and told her to give Wanda her money and get done with that.

It’s hot in here, let’s step outside.

I’m gonna take a leak.

In my bathroom?

Can’t you use the guest bathroom?

Those are the dumb-ass things you do that really get on my nerves.

Look who’s here!

That’s a real beast!

Yeah, it was a gift.

-Dang! -Hey, Indio…

…I brought the things you asked me for.

What things?

What things? What things?! The flashlights!

No, you’re late. That’s cancelled.

The balls on you! What am I supposed to--?

I don't need ‘em, that’s your problem.

Indio, man, don’t do this to me!

No, bro, no.

What a motherfucker!

Son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch. Motherfucking son of a bitch.

Since the first time I saw you,

I feel something I can’t explain.

I’ll explain.

Roli, baby…

Oh, call me “baby” again.

Baby…

Sweety…

Sweetheart...

Sweetheart…

Love, the social worker’s here. She wants to talk to you.

Everything okay?

Awesome!

You look different.

Everyone’s very excited about the probation.

That’s still on, right?

Your case is looking good.

Odds are great.

More or less when?

It's still hard to tell.

You have any plans?

About a thousand.

That's the only thing I can do stuck here.

You need to see this as a second chance.

A second chance is rare when you feel you never got your first.

Let's do something different today.

What type of things would you like to do

if you were freed from your probation?

If all goes well,

the first thing I want to do is ask you out.

Let’s concentrate, Roli!

Hello...

Hi! I’m Gloria, Roli’s social worker.

Casiano, Esteban.

Nice to meet you. I’m a friend of the family.

I got lost coming out of the bathroom.

This house does that to you.

Can I tell you something?

Of course.

I like you.

I don't talk to many people but I feel comfortable with you.

You can tell me anything.

I don't want you to see me as a social worker.

I want you to see me as a friend.

A friend who wants to help you.

Hello?

"How’s my favorite father-in-law?"

“What’s up?”

“Did you deliver Indio’s things?”

He didn’t want it.

He didn't want them?

“He said he didn’t need them… That he didn’t want them.”

The bastard.

“What do you want me to do?”

[Unintelligible]

Did you hear that? Wichi says we’re picking them up.

There’s no need,

I can bring them to you.

No, no, relax, we’ll pick them up.

Also, I wanna see how the other thing's going.

“No worries, I know where you live.”

“Indio sent me the pin.”

Here, drink this, it’ll help.

Mary,

what the hell are we going to do?!

What can we do, Dad? Start over.

Start over.

Thing is, I have those people to answer to.

Elegido, call those people and ask for an extension.

It doesn't work like that, love.

This is not the Treasury Department.

Then we’ll go to the bank tomorrow and ask for a loan to pay them back.

The hell with that! I don’t want to owe those bastards money ever again.

But then you're gonna owe money to other bastards?

It’s Tebo!

You called me.

This Tebo…

Come on in.

Listen here, Tebo.

If you’ve ever wanted to help us, this is the time.

What happened? Don't scare me, don Ele.

What I’m about to say is quite serious.

The plants are ruined.

What do you mean?

They’re ruined, they died.

Thing is, these people paid me up front.

And

now they’re calling me.

And you can't talk to them?

We don’t have the money to pay them back,

and the plants left are going to take more than three months to yield the product we owe them.

To make it crystal clear:

we’re screwed.

What do you want me to do?

Arrest them.

You can do that, right?

Well, it's not that easy. You need an order from a judge, and--

Get out of here!

You all do whatever the fuck you want. You know that and I know it too.

Just radio your colleagues saying there’s a raid

and they’ll find anything they need to process them right there.

Okay?

You can do that, right? Have them arrested…

I'll give you the address.

But no one can find out it was me.

Don Ele, this is all quite serious.

I know, faggot!

But you’re like my son, dammit!

You’re part of the family.

And,

I know you can help us, man.

I’ll try.

Count on it.

Woah!

Where are y’all going?

[Unintelligible]

Put that away.

Cool it, it's a matter of scaring them a bit so they understand you don't screw with The Whip,

but don’t take all that.

[Unintelligible]

No, no! I don't want the mess we had last time.

We cool?

Hey, Mary!

I’m here at The Trap with the crew, come over.

"Nico..."

The babies are gone.

"That’s what you said last time."

“No, Nico, this time they’re really gone.”

-Wait, what? -“Everything went wrong.”

Hadn’t you gotten paid for that?

“Which is why Dad’s shitting his pants and doesn't know what to do.”

-“Can you come over, please?” -Yeah, yeah, sure.

“Calm down, I’m on my way now.”

Thank you.

Gotta go! If anyone wants anything else, you got my number.

Yes, of course. Good evening.

That’s what we’re here for.

Good evening, Solis, how are you?

Casiano, I thought you were off already.

I just got some confidential info and I need a couple of guys to do a preventive round.

You mean now?

Difficult.

Difficult.

There's this agent, see?

She’s investigating some people on a ranch

and they have all of the guys undercover in their operations.

When were you planning on doing this?

Next week.

Where are they?

In the academy room.

Are you here about the complaint?

I want my lawyer. I want my lawyer!

The copping zone is here, which we’ve been monitoring for a while.

We suspect this household

is generating the product arriving at Villa Respeto.

We’re now waiting

on the warrant

so we can move in to collect evidence.

We go all in.

“Wanda, listen to me, this is really important."

“Go into your father’s bathroom."

“At the top of the closet you’ll see a little door.”

“Take out the bag there and take it with you.”

“You need to get out of there right now.”

“We’ll talk later.”

Wanda...

Be careful.

Holy… Sheesh.

Pick up, Elegido.

-And what do I tell them? -Don Ele!

-We need to get all this shit out of here right now. -Why?

What happened? What did they tell you?

Roli's social worker, the new one,

she’s undercover, man, I saw her back at the station.

Undercover?

Are you yanking our chain?

I'm not, fuck, I saw her!

They brought her in ‘cause they’re setting up a big sting.

It seems they’re watching those bastards from the ranch.

I knew it! Dammit, Dad, I knew it.

Wait. Are you sure? 100%?

Yes! We have to empty this place.

Okay, let’s do it! Let’s get this outta here.

Okay, listen up!

This is what we’re gonna do:

I'll turn myself in.

No!

Yes! It’s my responsibility, I got you into this mess. Tebo, take me in.

-No! I will not allow it. -No!

-No, no, no! -Yes, Mom.

I will not allow it.

No! No, no!

Bullshit! Nobody’s going to jail here, dammit!

I’ll deal with it.

Get out of the way. God dammit!

The fuck?!

Are you out of your mind, Dad?!

Don Ele, what the fuck is this?! Put that away!

Just in case.

In case what? What are you talking about?

Ma, this can't be the solution. Dad. Dad!

This got out of hand. Elegido, I can't recognize you.

What did you think we were selling here?

Moringa?

This was always a possibility.

Of course not, Dad!

Let's get organized, don Ele.

Put away all of these weapons and, Marysol, let's clean out the back room.

Daddy, please put it all away. Mom! You lost it, Dad!

Put it all away, pleas- -

Do not even think of touching that!

I just killed someone.

Oh, Wanda, no, no…

Tell me you're screwing with us.

I'm not, Dad.

I didn’t see him! He was on a bike and came out of nowhere!

Wanda, please tell me you didn't just leave him lying there.

No.

He's in the car.

What?!

No! Wanda, what--?

What the fuck is in that head of yours?

-Dad! -I don't know what you were all thinking.

-Daddy, I’m sorry! -Did you want to screw me? Well, you did!

You screwed me! Actually, you screwed ALL of us!

Sorry, Daddy. It was not on purpose.

What the hell have I done to deserve this damn family?!

How dare you steal from your own father?

And at a moment like this!

Sorry, Daddy!

The Police is looking for us, the fucking cowboys are also looking for us,

and you come and do this shit!

Lower your voice, dammit. Or you wanna get arrested?

How fast were you going, Wanda?

Oh, Good Lord!

What are we gonna do now?

We’re looking for sheets to wrap him up.

We must clean up.

All the guns need to disappear.

We have about 24 hours while they get the warrant.

Unless they already have it.

Roli!

Roli!

Roli!

Roli!

Rolando, how are you?

I came over ‘cause I needed to discuss some things. You alone?

Are your parents out?

“Operation underway, awaiting instructions to proceed.”

Officer inside, don’t intervene.

Hello, hello.

Good evening.

Is Elegido around?

Elegido López. He in?

How are you, Vivian?

Elegido!

Dear father-in-law, I like the house, it’s nice.

M-hmm.

[Unintelligible]

Wait a sec, no…

Stand down! Wichi, we talked about this.

That’s a bit much, man…

What is this?!

Vivian…

Hey, Marysol, how are you?

Vivian, I’ll pay everything back, I swear.

You don’t remember our conversation about money?

This is not what it seems, Vivian.

Okay?

Police, everyone freeze!

Everyone drop your weapons now!

Lord, what’s happening!?

Police! Freeze!

Just one moment!

This is MY house.

I don’t allow this type of behavior in my house. Here, what I say, goes! Everyone lower your weapons!

Roli, lower your weapon.

Out of the way, Mom. I’ll blow ‘em away!

Wanda, no!

No!

[Unintelligible]

Help.

“Puerto Rico Police Department. The house is surrounded.”

“Come out with your hands up. We’ll be proceeding into the house.”

“Come out with your hands up.”

“Stop what you’re doing and come out with your hands up.”

“The house is completely surrounded.”

"Hands above your head. Let us proceed.
