Border Incident Page #3

...to the Sainted Guadalupe,

that you won't go.

That we will return

to the village together.

Tonight, I am going.

But, Juanito, so much can happen.

Like that man with one arm.

If anything should happen to you...

The matter has settled itself, then?

The matter has settled itself.

Take good care of nio and the baby.

And you, you take care.

Hello, Juanito.

Did you see your wife?

And I said adis.

She is now on the way back

to our village.

So you're coming with us, huh?

Well, I guess a man is entitled

to make a fool of himself if he wants to.

A man is entitled to that.

Let me see your hands.

The side you work with, stupid.

That last one was no bracero.

His hands are too soft.

- Maybe we should...

- No, that is for Hugo to decide.

Watch him closely.

- What is it, old man?

- I don't know.

Sometimes I cannot breathe.

I cannot breathe.

- You'd better not go, then, huh?

- I must, I must.

Come on! Let's go!

Make it snappy!

Come on!

Fritz, see what the gringo

would want down there.

Were you looking for somebody?

That's it, come on.

Come on.

Say, what's the idea?

I have the money.

Sit down.

Pay up, hombres. Seventy pesos.

For this, seor, you will take us

to the United States...

...to a ranch where there is work, yes?

Sixty-nine, 70.

Zopilote.

Back there.

You load them on the truck, huh, Clay?

Are you asking me

or you telling me?

One can ask, huh?

Hello, Neley? This is the fella

in the fancy cowboy shirt.

Our pal's been carrying

the ball swell up till now...

...but I think he was

just thrown for a loss. Yeah.

They maybe even put him

out of the game.

Over on the south side of town.

A place called La Perla de Oro.

That's right.

I don't wanna tip my mitt yet...

...but I think it might be a good idea to have

a routine check by some of the local boys.

Right. Tell them to hurry.

Hey, Hugo.

Do you know one thing?

This man is not a bracero.

I know.

Why?

Why do you want to go

if you're not a bracero?

Does one have to be a bracero

to want to be a bracero?

Who wants to be a bracero

except a bracero?

Maybe someone who doesn't want

to be discovered for something else.

What do you mean?

Maybe I was disappointed in love.

Maybe I would like

to make some American dollars.

Maybe Im running from something.

Maybe so.

Maybe, also, you are trying

to find out something too, huh?

Like what, for instance?

For instance,

you may be one of the police.

What could one expect in a border town?

The police and the snakes

are first cousins.

You've heard of Ragopian in Mexico City,

haven't you?

- Yes, he's in the federal penitentiary.

- Exactly.

Well, I was managing

his business affairs...

...when something came up.
