CHEMA
-Where are you taking me? -What do you mean?
-What did we agree on? -Oh damn it.
Come on!
Sit down for a while.
The night is young.
We have time for me to hear your life story...
and then we can really get down to business.
Alright then.
A promise is a promise.
I'm a man of my word.
Well, my parents conceived me along the Rio Chico in Sinaloa.
Their names were Elvira and Joaquin.
You should've told me sooner.
I'd have taken you behind the bushes.
Are you stupid, Joaquin?
My water just broke. I'm about to give birth.
What do we do?
We can't stay here. We have to keep going.
But I'm giving birth, and I can't do it alone.
I'll bring somebody.
Sir, help her get to that building over there.
I'll help you up.
I can't!
The baby won't come out! It's tearing me up inside!
I can't!
Give a strong push! Just push.
Your little tyke's fighting.
Keep pushing. Just push.
Go get a blanket, dammit!
The baby's going to freeze to death!
And stop drinking!
Here it comes!
Here it comes.
I see his head.
This child is special.
He was born with two spirit animals
that'll protect him all his life.
A falcon and a scorpion.
There there, sweetie.
And I thought I was the drunk one.
What's this witch saying, Elvira?
Your son will always be protected.
All that's left is to name him.
It's like we're in a manger.
All we need is the Wise Men...
you and I are Joseph and Mary.
Jose Maria Venegas. That's his name.
They'll call him El Chema.
Chema Venegas.
It's a fancy-sounding name. I'm sure he'll go far.
Your husband is right.
The child looked me directly in the eyes
and stared right through my soul.
He's going to be someone very important.
Really?
You really think so?
Of course.
Just look at his face.
He's a tough guy.
Stop drinking.
Don't you see the situation we're in?
You think we're staying here forever or what?
Why not?
-What's so bad about that? -It's fine here.
Let me hold Chemita.
Don't you dare go near him in the state you're in.
Don't tell me what to do with my son.
Get out of here, witch!
Watch out for them.
I'm surrounded by idiots. Get to work, a--hole!
-You shouldn't yell! -I don't care!
You don't care?
If you won't respect her as your sister,
respect her as your daughter!
It's okay, sweetie. I'm not mad at you.
What's wrong with you?
That fool Joaquin left and took Elvira with him.
She still defends that damn drunk.
What did he do to you?
Besides being married to the woman you like so much.
I've had enough of your sarcasm.
Don't waste your time
because I don't give a damn what you think.
That husband of yours
will cause you nothing but headaches.
Women like you have to carve out your own path.
Alone?
You're not alone, Elvira.
You've got that bundle of joy.
Take good care of him
because he'll take care of you his whole life.
Women are going to break his heart,
but he'll always end up on top.
Joaquin and his wife Elvira took off, boss.
Probably to cross the border.
We'll have to find them.
I already owe that bastard for one thing.
I won't let it get to two.
Bring back Elvira.
I'll take care of her and the kid when he's born.
You've only got one mother, Morillo.
But any son of a bitch can be a father.
Let's go.
-Smile. -There you go.
Whether or not they get married,
they'll always be very close, you'll see.
I don't know if I'll stay here long with my daughter.
You're going to take her away?
But why?
Amanda's like a daughter to Ricardo.
I mean, he could be like a father to her.
You need someone to let you work and not ask questions.
Right, Ricardo?
What exactly are you referring to?
That you should invest all the money you make
smuggling marijuana across the border.
What do you propose?
Let's open a casino.
A moneymaking business that'll cover
for your other moneymaking business.
Come in.
You'll be comfortable here.
If you need anything, let me know.
Thank you so much.
Lord knows what would've happened to him and me
without you.
Well, some people have trouble understanding me,
but I'm going to explain.
It was he who brought me.
There's something very special about him, you'll see.
Well, let me know when you're feeling better
so I can introduce you to my people.
They can feed you and give you work.
We mostly pick cotton here, when there's a harvest.
But now...
In my language, that means there's nothing.
What do I do about Immigration? We don't have papers.
There are no borders here.
These were always Yaqui Indian lands.
It wasn't even called Arizona.
It was Sonora, and it went all the way to California!
There is no border.
That's something they came up with.
Now go on and feed Chema.
Naming him that is the only good thing his father ever did.
Blanca still doesn't know if she'll return to Sinaloa.
I told her you had plans with Ricardo.
That you were going to partner with him,
and that he could be a good father figure for her daughter.
I did my homework, right, Tobias?
Excuse me.
Come in, Manuela.
We were just looking at a leak in the ceiling.
You didn't see anything, right?
But just wait till it rains. You'll see how bad it gets.
Goodnight, princess.
Say goodnight to your brother.
Get some rest, sweetie.
Take her away.
Proper ladies shouldn't be awake this late.
Well?
You going to be a widow,
or you going to finish what you started?
Elvira!
Look at Chemita.
Handsome like his daddy.
Alright, you saw him.
Now get out of here.
I hope you forget the way back.
Get going!
Why are you treating my friends like that?
They 're harmless.
I just wanted them to meet Chema.
This house belongs to that witch, right?
Tomorrow, I'm getting you out...
No, Joaquin!
We're not going anywhere.
Celia offered me a job here picking cotton.
If you want to stay, then you'll stay and work.
If not, you can leave.
I'd rather raise him alone than have to support your habit.
I've been thinking.
It's be best for me to return home to Sinaloa.
Oh yeah?
Then you thought wrong because that's not going to happen.
You're staying here.
This ranch is going to have everything.
There'll be animals, especially horses.
But my sister is staying here.
Your daughter.
At least admit it to me.
Don't f--- with me, Blanca.
She'll always be my sister.
And you'll always be mine too.
But to everyone else, I'm your husband's son.
We're broke thanks to your damn habit!
Shut up!
I'm talking to you!
That's enough!
How did I do?
Very well.
You're a terrific rider.
Boss.
Okay.
Saddle up the horses. We'll take some men with us.
Where are you going, big bro?
I have some business to take care of, honey.
Get back inside.
It didn't take long for me to find you, Elvira.
Go wash your hands, son. I'll make you some soup.
We always have soup.
Can't we have some chilorio tacos?
I'm craving some right now.
I could go to the store, Mom.
Come with me.
He took our money again, didn't he?
Have Mr. Tomas put it on our tab and I'll pay it later.
No!
It's always the same old story.
We won't have anything to eat until you kick him out!
He spends everything on booze!
What about us?
-Do as I say. -What did you say?
-Come here! -Do as I say!
What the f--- did you do with my money?
Tell me!
Quit yelling at me, Elvira.
Let me go!
I swear I'm going to kick you out of this house!
What's up?
No, don't give me that look.
It's me, alright.
Did you really think I wouldn't find you?
