Hey, don't cry.

Hey. Let's have a sit down. Come on.

Read it out.

"Mario Garza."

He's the one.

He robbed us in our corridor.

And then he hunted down and he killed Eric.

Your friend, your brother.

You see, he's not one of our kind.

He's a bad man.

And what are we gonna do about him?

You know where he lives?

Yeah. He's across the border.

He's well protected.

We got to get you there

and get you back.

No! No, just get me to him.

I don't care about getting back.

Son.

God damn!

That's my boy.

This will be your last job.

After this, you can go live

with your brother.

Yeah? Okay.

Where is he at?

He's... Hey, Jakey?

Julius wants to see you.

Jakey!

Jakey. Julius.

I didn't think you'd be here.

Yeah, I was just

playing checkers with Buds.

Who won that game of checkers, Buddy?

I did.

I always lick Jakey at checkers.

Well, welcome home, kid.

Thank you, Mr. Hench. Thank you.

Buddy's gonna die.

They're sending him across.

I have to get him out.

Out?

Hench's wife tried to get out.

Ran off with their son.

I was his music teacher.

I got her train tickets.

Two train tickets.

What does Hench do?

He burns 'em both alive.

You want Buddy out?

There's only one way to do it.

You see that mountain?

They're gonna take it down

to get the silver out.

They're gonna tunnel in, they're gonna

blow it up from the inside out.

That's how you get Hench.

From the inside out.

Just like he took down your daddy.

It was an inside job, Jakey.

Your father's partner, Joe,

he just looked the other way.

You were performing

your first solo, Jakey.

Hench was conducting

your daddy's requiem.

- I'm gonna go talk to Joe.

- Okay.

Thank you for coming by, Joe.

See you, Julius.

Mr. Hench.

You took care of Buddy all these years.

I'm very grateful to you for that.

I want to ask you one more favor.

If you'd let me,

I'd like to take Eric's place.

If you send Buddy across the fence,

I wanna go with him.

I wanna be his partner.

What about your life in New York?

New York made me forget

what I promised my father.

Kept me away from home,

kept me away from Buddy.

You know, my brother dropped out

of school to take care of me.

So I could play the violin.

What did I do?

Every couple of years, he'd come visit me.

I'd take him to the Central Park Zoo.

And he was so grateful.

All he asked in return is that

I come see him,

I come and spend some time with him.

But I didn't.

I...

I abandoned him.

I'm back now and I'd like

to be a real brother.

Sir, I love Buddy

and I wanna take care of him.

We'll talk at the Alamo.

I promised Buddy I'd buy you dinner.

I like vegetarians.

It's humane. No blood.

Hey!
