The Secret to a Better Life Page #3

---

No papers, no driver's license.

123

00:
12:07,860 -- 00:12:10,658

What if the cops stop me

for a broken tail light?

124

00:
12:11,163 -- 00:12:13,893

You know what'll happen.

They'll send me back.

125

00:
12:14,800 -- 00:12:18,133

And then what'll happen to Luis?

126

00:
12:18,904 -- 00:12:22,203

Think about what happens

if you don't buy the truck.

127

00:
12:22,708 -- 00:12:25,609

What happens if the Migra gets you

and you're not makin' money?

128

00:
12:25,878 -- 00:12:28,711

They don't care about separatin'

parents from their kids.

129

00:
12:29,048 -- 00:12:31,278

Since 9l11 things aren't the same.

130

00:
12:31,584 -- 00:12:35,486

It's not

a little drive through Juarez anymore.

131

00:
12:36,021 -- 00:12:37,989

It's three days in the desert.

132

00:
12:38,324 -- 00:12:43,159

My cousin Ernesto?

They never found his body.

133

00:
12:43,996 -- 00:12:46,055

What happens if you stay in

that same neighborhood?

134

00:
12:46,565 -- 00:12:52,197

Sendin' Luisito to that same school,

with those same low-lifes.

135

00:
12:53,205 -- 00:12:55,036

You wanna get your papers?

136

00:
12:55,908 -- 00:12:57,500

You wanna be legal?

137

00:
12:57,910 -- 00:13:00,140

Buy the truck, carnal.

138

00:
13:00,446 -- 00:13:04,507

...In a few months, you'll have

enough money to hire a real killer lawyer.

139

00:
13:11,257 -- 00:13:12,849

You know...

140

00:
13:14,226 -- 00:13:20,790

...When you leave,

I'm just gonna find another job.

141

00:
13:24,804 -- 00:13:26,795

I'll stay quiet...

142

00:
13:27,373 -- 00:13:29,341

...Keep my head down...

143

00:
13:31,610 -- 00:13:34,078

...And try to stay invisible.

144

00:
13:39,618 -- 00:13:41,313

Let's go back to work.

145

00:
13:45,291 -- 00:13:46,758

Why'd you hit the kid?

146

00:
13:46,826 -- 00:13:49,727

I don't know, man.

It's not that big of a deal.

147

00:
13:49,829 -- 00:13:52,525

Kids are getting down every day

in my school a lot worse than this.

148

00:
13:53,666 -- 00:13:56,567

You honestly expect me to believe

this wasn't some kind of gang beef?

149

00:
13:57,570 -- 00:13:59,800

You can believe

whatever you wanna believe.

150

00:
14:03,709 -- 00:14:04,698

Take your shirt off.

151

00:
14:04,910 -- 00:14:06,207

What?

152

00:
14:06,278 -- 00:14:08,974

Take your shirt off.

I need to get pictures of your tattoos.

153

00:
14:09,048 -- 00:14:11,243

Yo, man, I ain't in a gang.

154

00:
14:11,584 -- 00:14:13,279

Come on. Indulge me.

155

00:
14:13,886 -- 00:14:15,353

Man, why you gotta make every Chicano kid

out here...

156

00:
14:15,421 -- 00:14:18,083

Hey, kid, just take your shirt off.

157

00:
14:29,702 -- 00:14:31,067

What did I say?
