EL CASPER:

You can’t ever tell Lil' Mago I

take you to that house, understand?

No one can know.

SMILEY:

(intimidated)

Okay-

EL CASPER:

-Not a f***ing word.

Casper lightens up on him.

EL CASPER:

We’ll get your cherry popped. Not

just with a diecioyo, but with a

girl, too.

17 EXT. CIUDAD HIDALGO COUNTRYSIDE - DAY 17

Horacio leads a startled, if not more vigilant, Orlando and

Sayra in a fast march along an irrigation ditch in a green

field. Their clothes are stretched and their shoes cut up.

The air is filled with flies, mosquitos and other annoying

pests. Sayra slaps her own neck and moans.

HORACIO:

Again.

SAYRA AND ORLANDO

9-0-8-5-5-5-0-1-8-7

HORACIO:

Again.

SAYRA:

We got it.

HORACIO:

Say it again.

SAYRA:

I said we got it.

Horacio stops and looks at them sternly.

HORACIO:

You need to know this number, in

case anything happens, Yessenia

will help you.

16.

ORLANDO:

How much more, carnal?

HORACIO:

Six hours, maybe more.

Orlando looks back at Sayra, aghast.

HORACIO:

This is an adventure little

brother, we are adventurers.

(BEAT)

Easy or hard, we go on.

Horacio marches on.

HORACIO:

Now, say the number again.

18 EXT. EL LIL' MAGO’S HOUSE, COLONIA CONFETI - DUSK 18

In the cramped alleyways of the colonia, El Lil' Mago’s house

hums with REGGAETONE BEATS. The front yard somehow fits the

moth-balled carcass of an older model American car.

Children pretend to drive inside.

EL CASPER:

Welcome to the destroyer.

19 INT. EL LIL’ MAGO’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS 19

It’s a grimy home of small, concrete rooms, poorly organized

and stuffed with detritus. The walls look like the grimy

tile of a subway bathroom, the rooms contained stained

mattresses and improvised furniture.

As El Casper greets the inhabitants, all respond with the “M”

”S” hand signs.

EL BOMBA:

Sup Casper? Did he get a chavala*

yet? (diecioyo, 18th Street Gang*)

El Bomba stands over a two range counter top stove warming

corn tortillas. Opened cans of vegetables litter the

counter. A teenage girl, KIMBERLY, helps him prepare the

food.

EL CASPER:

No.

17.

Smiley takes in the space while nervously touching the

scabbing marks on his face.

He gestures to EL SMOKEY and EL PICARO ironing their clothes

with their shirts off. They are covered in tattoos.

EL CASPER (CONT’D)

(whispers)

El Smokey and El Piqaro. They got

in today from San Salvador.

Thirsty?

El Casper grabs a TAMPICO from a watery bucket in the kitchen

and hands one to Smiley while leading him deeper into the

house, there are girls, and at least FOUR LITTLE KIDS who

belong to them walking about.
