And I have to kill la pocha here.

We're friends?

-(CLATTERING)

You're gonna tell Ricky

that you're gonna help him.

Just tell him that you know the ranch.

- I don't.

- Well, learn it.

Listen to me.

Just help him get his stuff

from one side to the other.

Don't tell him, please.

Don't tell Andrs.

(GRUNTS)

(GUN C*CKS)

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.

F***ing 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?

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?

-(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

-(VEHICLES HONKING)

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

I didn't bring my passport.

It's all right. You don't need it.

Open the glove compartment.

RICKY:
Hand me those cards.

Good.

Relax. With the cards,
