SPOKESWOMAN: I love them.
I think you're going to love them.
I think it's going to change your
life the way it's changed mine.
They're really... I'm excited to show you.
- They are the best products I've ever used.

And this is more pastel-y
but I love them both.
- Security code 609.
-(PHONE CHIMES)
You know it still looks good
but, like, it could look better.
I'm sorry. Can you try 603?
Social security? You don't need that.
- Okay, I'll hold.

And I was like,
"You know what? I'm worth it. "

Hello?
How's that sound?
MOTHER: Yes, we have the new ones.
Yes, three? Sure, we can do that.
She's not home right now.
(WHIRRING)
- We have to go to the bank.
-(LAUGHS)
- These fucking Craigslisters.
- MOTHER: Everything's going to be there.
- ROGER: Babe.
- Yes, I know.
- I'm gonna use the van for a little bit, okay?
- Tomorrow.
ROGER: See you later.
Mmm. Yes, that's correct.
They haven't made the last eight payments.
Okay.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Can you put us last?
You will need to be current on your payments
to start the modification process.
I'm sorry, but...
What do we need to come up with
to stay in the house?
- In English, please.
- Excuse me.
I'm sorry. Um, to be current?
Twenty thousand.

Larry, let's head back.
We've got one more.
No, we're done.
It's already set up.
MARISSA: Hey.
I thought that was you.
Marissa.
No, yeah, I remember.
You're, like, the last person
I expected to see here.
Well, how's life?
Good. it's really good.
I'm not pregnant, I'm not married.
- Are you in school or anything?
- No, no, I'm not.
But I'm sure you...
Yeah, I am, it's...
Pretty tough. I'm really stressed out
about it but I figure, like,
-all the work will pay off and...
- Yeah.
You know, it'll be worth it.
Ah...
You should come have a drink with me.

She's not in the system.
Check with Immigration.
Now, because of your age
and the fact that you have no prior record,
the DA is willing to give you probation
in exchange for a guilty plea.
However, because you were in custody
while waiting to post bail,
they have placed
an immigration detainer on you.
After you plead guilty,
you will be handcuffed
and transported
to an immigration detention facility.
They'll hold you there a few days
or a few weeks until they process you.
And then you will be released back
into Mexico as a free citizen.
You'll never be allowed
back into the United States.
And if I don't plead guilty?
Based upon the discovery that I've seen,
they have an extremely strong case
against you.
PUBLIC DEFENDER: Go now with probation,
or you can spend a couple of years in jail
and then be deported.
Those are the two options.
Are you in contact
with any relatives in Mexico?
- Family? Friends?
- Yes.
Okay, well, I'll give you two
a couple of minutes by yourself.

MOTHER: It's not your fault.
(SNIFFLES)
It's my fault.
I brought you here.
I taught you that...
That you were special.
- That you deserved the nicest things.
- CLAUDIA: Mom, calm down.
I'll come back.
I'll get some money together
and I'll come back.
People do it all the time.
You think everything is easy, huh?
MOTHER: Can you wait, please?
Please, don't take her yet.
You have to go to your father's house.
I need to know you will be safe.
(SNIFFLES)
BORDER AGENT:
Criminal gangs consider you rich targets.
They will try to contact phone numbers
of your relatives in the US for ransom.
Dial zero after making calls on public phones
so previously dialed numbers
can't be accessed.

This girl wants to go to the south.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)
- What's going on?
- A checkpoint.
Where are you headed?
Just ahead, about 10, 15 kilometers.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
What's the status here?
How many passengers are with you?
Seven people.
Okay, good.
Have a good trip. See you later.
Okay, thank you.
Sit down.
There are things to do.
Are you, or aren't you a criminal?
There's no in between.
Speak!
What's the matter with you?
She can't understand you, Mama.
She doesn't speak Spanish.
(MOOING)
(WHISTLING)
You can't stay in the house all day.
(CONVERSING IN SPANISH)
What do you want me to do?
Well, be patient. Try to understand her.
How long are we going to let this go on?
As long as necessary.
Okay, whatever.
ARTURO: Fuck.
You speak English?
Yes, of course.
- Arturo.
- Claudia.
Claudia.
We're gonna go fix fences.
Coming with us.
How much?
Close to $10.
An hour?
A day.
I'll work with him.
That's very delicate.
Why don't you help me with this?
Just cut it like this.
Be careful.
Put these on.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
How many do we have left?
From here, four or five posts on this line,
and that's it.
Okay, let's finish what's left and then
we'll go to the other side of the ranch.
You should use better materials.
Something that lasts.
You're gonna start here
and you're gonna keep going.
The whole south fence needs to be repaired.
Then you'll start on the north side.
Keeps the cows in, people out.
Works just fine.
(SIGHS)
This sucks.
You should have stayed in prison then.
Would have been better than this.
Well, I can take you back if you want.
Get on the horse and...
Let's do it.

You see plastic,
you pick it up.
Is this normal?
ANDRES: Yeah, it's the same problem,
over and over.
Animals are stubborn.
They only know one way to be.
Even if it hurts them.
I don't wanna go inside that house with him.
Well, he's your dad.
(MOOING)
(SIGHS)
Thank you.
Hey, why is there a checkpoint?
Is somebody smuggling drugs, people?
No, not people.
The military uses it
to control whatever is passing through.
Do you know someone
who can help me get back?
Andrs wouldn't like that.
I don't care what Andrs thinks.
(PHONE RINGING AND VIBRATING)
Bueno.
Was that Andrs?
It's no one.

What's going on, Ricky?
Why show up like this?
Why don't you tell her what's going on?
Nothing is going on.
Tell her who you work for.
In English.
Here.
Say it.
Say it.
I work for Ricky.
You can call me Rick.
You work for me? Mmm?
That's not what I heard.
I heard you were working for someone else.
(SCOFFS)
Why would I wanna do that?
Look,
the truth is that the Sergeant talked to me,
and, yeah, he offered me money
to give him information,
but you don't think
I'd do something like that? I'm not a traitor.
Ricky, you know I would never do that, right?
(SHUSHING)
But we're friends, right?

Just help him get his stuff
from one side to the other.
Don't tell him, please.
Don't tell Andrs.

I know my way around the ranch.
I can make things really easy for you.
I like American girls.
I'm gonna take care of your truck.
RICKY: Be in touch.
I gotta run.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
Nice day, no?
What brings you here, gentlemen?
I'm looking for Arturo.
Claudia.
Come here.
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
Where's Arturo?
I don't know.
He took your truck.
I don't know where he went.
You see?
He's not here.
Are you visiting?
She's only here for a little bit.
Go inside. Lita needs you.
You have a beautiful ranch.
A lot of land.
Must be hard to maintain.
To keep secure.
Here, we don't have any problems
with the ranch.
Excuse me. I have work to do.
(CAR DOOR SHUTS)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
Don't let them involve us into their mess.
People are always driving through my land
looking for a shortcut to the main road.
ANDRES: it's always been a problem.
If you see Arturo,
you send him to me.
Fucking reception, man.
Okay, Mom.
Bye.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Tell her to try it.
Make her try it.
You're her father.
I've eaten a chili before.
(PHONE RINGING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
- This is my nephew.
-(SPEAKING SPANISH)
That's not true.
You fixed the truck?
RICKY: It's not done yet.
Come take a ride with me.
Got a meeting.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
No, no, no, look, shut up for a second.
This is what we're gonna do.
You're gonna go to his house.
You're gonna tell him to return the money
because we already agreed on a price.
Under no circumstances are
we giving him any more money, okay?
Fucking Mexicans.
Aren't you Mexican?
No, I'm not fucking Mexican.
I'm just... I'm stationed down here for a bit.
Too valuable for this shithole anyway.
You know what I mean, right?
I came down here
because things used to be so fucking easy.
People just took the world as it is.
They just took what you gave them,
no questions asked.
And now, that's all gone. it's a fucking zoo.
If you could be anywhere else right now,
where would you be?
Would you be with me? Or would I be alone?
-(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

I didn't bring my passport.
It's all right. You don't need it.

Relax. With the cards,
I come and go whenever I want.
Good evening, sir.
- Where are you headed?
- San Diego.
It's, um...
It's our anniversary.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)
Have a nice night.
Thank you.
(SIGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, you could make a run for it.
RICKY: But then what?
I know about you, Claudia.
About all of it.
You wanna be some poor illegal
working shitty jobs?
(SCOFFS) Shit, I couldn't do that.
But if that's what you want,
then go.
(DOORS UNLOCK)
RICKY: I'm not going to stop you.
Or you could help me out a little bit.
Do a few runs.
Make some easy, easy money.
And then I'll bring you back.
Think it over.
Go grab a cup of coffee or something.
Need to have a chat with my dudes here.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)
(CAR DOOR SHUTS)
You just come and go as you please?
I still haven't heard from Arturo.
There's some food if you did not eat.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
You want some more?
No, thanks, Mom.
(SIGHS)
You mind if I come out with you today?
(WHISPERING)
What did she say?
People are sneaking in.
Stealing it for food.
It all has to go or
they'll keep coming.
If theyre hungry,
why don't you let them have it?
'Cause the cows are hungry, too.
Okay, hold it up higher.
-(GAS HISSING))
-(PHONE RINGING)
Away from your body.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
Ola.
When I was a boy,
I used to love setting things on fire.
My father asked me to weed his garden,
and I burned it all.
ANDRES: I didn't mean to bum it all.
RICKY: Ready to roll, pocha?
Keep doing what you're doing.
You know your way around.
Just make sure my stuff
gets across the ranch.
What's the matter? Don't you trust me?
- Where's our truck?
- Relax.
We'll drop it off
Don't worry. My dudes are cool.
Don't think about it.
Just get them through, fast and easy.
Yeah, I got it.
ANDRES: Lita and I,
we committed ourselves to this place.
They said that the land was too rocky.
That I would always be at its mercy
and I would make no money.
(WHIP CRACKS)
But I'm still here.
Everything from the outside can ruin you.
If you let it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO)
Let her go.
Your father know where you are?
Yeah.
Does he know who you're with?
I was in town, and he offered me a ride.
Bring back the truck.
Come.
They sent me here to stop this.
Ricky's truck is clean.
Okay.
Let him go.
It wasn't always this way.
Some places, maybe.
But here, things were always contained.
I can help you.
Ready to roll, pocha?
(LAUGHS)
Whatever you were paying Arturo,
it's not enough.
You want a raise already?
(PHONE RINGING AND VIBRATING)
This is Arturo's phone.
Why do you have it?
(CAR APPROACHING)
(CAR ENGINE TURNS OFF)
Andrs, come!
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
I've given the Sergeant permission
to run patrols on our land.
Nice truck!
This is my truck.
Now, I need you
to tell me everything, right now.
And don't lie to me.
This is my whole life.
Don't you see that?
ANDRES: I could lose everything.
CLAUDIA: He's dead.
No.
I told you she never should
have come to stay with us.
Andrs, no.
Everything out of her mouth is garbage.
If she doesn't know how to be good,
then it's your job to teach her.
CLAUDIA: Arturo wanted more.
There are people who struggle
and people who get what they want.
I want more.
Yeah?
Is this what more looks like to you?
"Pocha"?
- You know what that means?
- Yeah, I know what it means.
It means you're a fraud.
Fruit is either ripe or rotten.
Not both.
You can stay, tell the truth.
Or you take this truck and you go.
(ENGINE STARTS)

RICKY: Pocha? What's up?
How about that truck? Do you like it?
Where are you?

Tell me you need me.
(SHUSHING)
I need to get out of here.
We're almost done.
No, I need to get out of here tonight.
Everything is set up for tomorrow.
What changed?
Just one more run.
And then we'll move on.
And tomorrow you'll take me across?
Anywhere you want to go.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Good evening.
You can pass.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
It's not time for you to go.
There are still things you need to learn here.
You understand me, don't you?
Stay here with us.
Sometimes when you love someone,
you have to forgive them.
Even when you don't want to.
You will lose her again.
I tried, Mom.
Some things can't be fixed.
There are only two types of people.
Those who care about others.
And those who only care about themselves.
Which one are you?
He's here.
Stay in the truck.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Gentlemen.
There's a change.
A change?
What do you mean, a change?
Don't fuck with us.
There's a change
because there's a change, okay.
