THE ACERO DYNASTY
Mario Casas laundered money for Carlos Delgado.
Hey, Pepe. Things aren't so great.
You sound busy and I don't want to bother you,
but I have a question.
I'm never too busy for you, bro.
This little game is over!
Everybody out! You against the wall!
We have two priorities,
killing that Acero girl and her family
and killing Phillips, understand?
Hello? Anybody home?
We need help!
I think they lied to you. Nobody lives here.
THE ACERO DYNASTY
Who are you and what are you doing here?
Wait, please don't hurt us.
We need help.
Dr. Juan Manuel Vistas sent me here.
I'm Vicenta Acero.
The one and only Coyote.
My godfather told me you were coming.
We were waiting for you. Welcome.
-Let me help you. -No, it's okay.
-I'm fine, -thanks.
-Feeling better? -Yeah.
I still have a bit of a headache, but it's minor.
Nothing to worry about. Thanks.
Thanks for doing this for me.
Helping someone cross the border is very dangerous.
Not a lot of people do that, so thanks.
I already told you you don't need to thank me.
I feel like it's my duty.
Besides, I don't want Salvador to worry to death
'cause something happened to you.
I was wrong about you.
You're not who I thought you were.
Rosario!
What are you doing here, honey? This is great!
I couldn't stay at the ranch another day longer.
Things got really ugly.
I saw what the governor said on TV.
I figured I'd come back. I feel safe here.
I'm sorry, sweetie, but you came to the wrong place.
This bar is more dangerous than Iraq now.
Why? What happened?
Who's that guy? Can we trust him?
Yes, I'll introduce you.
This is Jose Angel. He's like Salvador's brother.
-Nice to meet you. -It's a pleasure.
This is Margarita, the owner of this bar.
Let's go inside. You too, dear.
What happened?
The new Immigration chief dropped by.
She detained all the girls.
She even threatened to shut the place down
if we don't give her info on Chenta.
How are Chela and the girls? Do you know anything?
Nope.
All I know is that ICE has them.
None of them have papers.
You know what that means, right?
No more American Dream.
Those poor girls' dreams were shattered too.
I'm sorry.
This isn't a good place for anybody.
If the gringa comes back and sees you have no papers,
she'll arrest you too.
The best place you can be right now
is at the Acero ranch with Salvador.
Take me back to my cell already
and do whatever the hell you want,
'cause I don't know where Vicenta is.
Even if I did know, I still wouldn't tell you.
What is it about that woman
that makes everybody want to protect her?
How much did she pay you?
She didn't give me any money.
What she gave me in exchange
is something you obviously don't have... loyalty.
We may be illegal and poor, but we're loyal to each other.
Chenta helped me when I most needed it
so I'm going to help her now.
You forgot to say that you're all prostitutes.
American Dream Bar is a brothel.
Sorry, but you're wrong.
American Dream is a family place.
Everyone who works there is a good person.
We may be illegal, but we're good people.
Margarita doesn't know she's hiring illegal immigrants.
We get fake documentation and that's how she hires us.
Poor woman.
Just how do you think you can prove that?
Are you going to search my body
to see how many men I've made happy?
Who says I charge for that?
There's no need to be sarcastic.
All three of you have said the same thing.
You obviously rehearsed this, so I don't believe you.
You all really have no clue what kind of problem you're in.
My only crime was to cross the border.
Everything else, you're making it up.
It's a figment of your imagination.
Since you can't prove it,
all you can do is deport me, but guess what?
I'm going to cross the border again.
Even if that rotten gringo
who hates Mexicans becomes president
and builds a wall, we're always going to cross the border.
I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY MONEY
We're done here.
We didn't get anything though.
We'll figure something out. Take her back to her cell.
Perhaps a few hours locked up will help you reflect.
You said you were loyal to Vicenta,
but are you sure she's loyal to you all?
I don't see her here fighting for you all
so you won't have to pay because of her.
Sanchez, please locate Phillips now.
I need him urgently.
Do what you need to do.
Dr. Juan Manuel Vistas told me to come here.
He gave me the coordinates.
We need to hide out for a while.
My godfather told me the one and only Coyote would come,
but he never mentioned anything about a guy.
He looks like a gringo,
and gringos only come to the desert to cause trouble.
You're right, my friend. I am a gringo.
I'm not here to cause any trouble though.
He's with me. His name is Phillips.
Don't worry. He's one of us, right?
We still need to search him though.
We don't want any information to get leaked.
Is it really necessary?
I don't have anything on me...
I was told we could come here to hide out from the cartels,
not be threatened and scared with guns.
Hey, buddy... I'm injured.
Those are the rules.
What do you have to lose anyway?
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.
Unless you do have something to hide.
Daniel Phillips, ICE Agent.
I'm not wearing my uniform
'cause we were on a special mission.
I suggest you all go on your way.
Nothing happened here. Everybody's happy.
Stop.
This guy you keep picking on is my boyfriend.
I don't like that you're making him out to be the enemy
just 'cause he's American.
Dr. Vistas promised he would help me, give me a hide out
and anything else I needed,
and I need to keep my boyfriend safe from those bastards too.
Are you going to help me or should I call him?
Fine, fine.
Only because you're her boyfriend
and because my godfather is loyal to her.
I'm Juanito, at your service.
Daniel Phillips. Nice to meet you.
We need someone to help us clean up his wound.
Follow me.
Welcome to our castle.
Come in.
DANNY: SHHH... SHHH... SHHH...
Hey... wait...
If they'd found my badge, they'd have shot me.
You saved my neck though... honey.
Thank you.
Who are these people?
Stop asking questions.
Unless you want to spend the night in the desert
with Indio Amaro out there looking for you,
then follow my lead.
Fine, I will,
but tell me who these people are.
Whatever they do, it doesn't exactly look legal.
Well, for the first time in your life,
you're the illegal one here.
We didn't find a single trace of Vicenta or the gringo, boss.
It's like the earth swallowed them whole.
The earth is going to swallow your head whole
after I cut it off.
I don't give a crap if you have to search the entire desert
just find them!
-But, boss- -I said I don't give a crap!
Search every vehicle in the area.
Find any trace of them or set up checkpoints.
The gringo is injured,
so he couldn't have made it very far on foot.
I don't want you back here
without Vicenta's or that damn gringo's head.
We need to keep searching!
We should've gone out there to search.
So you can miss the shots again?
I don't think so.
I'm tired of playing cat and mouse.
You need to worry about getting your shooting skills back
'cause you're worthless with only one eye.
You might as well have lost both eyes.
Don't provoke me...
or one day you'll wake up with an onion
shoved down your throat like a hog.
Thank you.
My godfather said you can stay with us
for however long you want.
If you need guns, just let me know
and I'll give them to you.
Thank you, but that won't be necessary.
The people after us couldn't catch up to us.
We do need a phone though.
We've been incommunicado for a long time.
That's going to be difficult.
We're right on the border, but on the American side,
and we don't use cell phones
so gringos won't detect the signals.
Those ICE Agents are like wolves,
and we've got nothing but illegal immigrants here.
I can imagine.
So what does your godfather do? Juanito was your name, right?
Yeah.
Why do you have all these guns?
Is he a drug lord or something?
Bite your tongue if you're talking about my godfather.
He's the complete opposite of a drug lord.
What we do here is fight those bastards.
They occupy our land and take away our families.
They're causing bloodshed all throughout Mexico.
Watch your mouth,
or next time I won't care that you're Ms. Acero's boyfriend.
You're going to respect this place and these people.
Calm down. Please forgive him.
Sometimes he can't control himself.
And you, calm down.
I'll explain everything to you eventually.
Right now, I just need you to please be patient.
I promise Dr. Vistas or anybody else here
don't do bad things.
They don't, huh? They don't.
You sure?
-What about anything illegal? -Depends on how you look at it.
Is it illegal to protect your family
from drug traffickers who kill people?
Why's everybody staring at me?
'Cause you're a white guy.
What?
Didn't you hear what they said outside?
What's going on?
Some cartel people are searching the area.
They're close to here.
They're in several trucks and they're armed.
Those are Indio's people.
They're probably still looking for us.
If they find us, they'll kill us.
What should we do?
Let's split up.
We'll go near the border
and you all go toward the road heading north.
Let's go.
Some of the trucks are heading this way.
If they keep coming this way, they'll find us.
Get all our guns and take them to the bunker.
You take everyone to the shelters.
Everyone who's just crossed over illegally
won't want to ever go back to Mexico.
What can we do to help?
If they've got guns, we've got to show them our guns too.
You've got a huge arsenal here, don't you?
They're more than 20 people. We're way fewer people.
Sounds like they're hunting us.
Indio Amaro must be livid 'cause we got away.
We should leave before they get here.
That's not the best idea.
I know this area very well.
If we try to leave, they'll catch us and kill us.
Who said we'd go to El Paso?
We'd be going straight to my house in Mexico.
Everyone will be safer there.
What?
You'd rather stay in the U.S. and fight those guys?
-Why, dear God? -If I have to, yes.
What? Don't even think about it.
They'll kill you.
You're coming with us, and that's the end of it.
-That's the end of it? -Yes.
Well, she has spoken. She's the boss.
I'll go wherever she says.
Right, baby?
Then it's settled... you lovebirds.
We'll go to my house and that way, you can come to the party.
What party?
It was lucky of you to come here today.
My little Lulu is turning 15 tomorrow.
I knew you'd come.
Did you bring the money?
I've got it. $200,000.
You finally make good on your word.
If Mom saw you right now, she'd be very proud of you.
Remember what she always used to say?
When I die, all I want is for you two to stay close...
because you're brother and sister.
