Hostile Border Page #3

F***ing reception, man.

Okay, Mom.

Bye.

Tell her to try it.

Make her try it.

You're her father.

I've eaten a chili before.

This is my nephew.

That's not true.

You fixed the truck?

It's not done yet.

Come take a ride with me.

Got a meeting.

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?

F***ing Mexicans.

Aren't you Mexican?

No, I'm not

f***ing 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 f***ing 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 f***ing zoo.

If you could be anywhere else right now,

where would you be?

Would you be with me?

Or would I be alone?

I didn't bring my passport.

It's all right.

You don't need it.

Open the glove

compartment.

Hand me those cards.

Good.

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.

Have a nice night.

Thank you.

Yeah, you could

make a run for it.

But then what?

I know about you, Claudia.

About all of it.

You wanna be some poor illegal

working shitty jobs?

Sh*t,

I couldn't do that.

But if that's

what you want,

then go.

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.

You just come and go

as you please?

I still haven't

heard from Arturo.

There's some food

if you did not eat.

You want some more?

No, thanks, Mom.

You mind if I come out

with you today?

What did she say?

People are sneaking in.

Stealing it for food.

It all has to go or

they'll keep coming.

If they're hungry,

why don't you let them have it?

'Cause the cows

are hungry, too.

Okay, hold it up higher.

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.

I didn't mean

to burn it all.

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.
