Let's bless ourselves.
MEXICO-UNITED STATES BORDER
Let's bless ourselves. This is holy water.
You've got to be brave, Rodrigo.
Be strong, son.
We're going to run over there, okay?
Just keep it together.
Let's go!
Now! Run!
Come on!
Hurry it up!
Rodrigo... son...
Hey, Teresa.
Good morning.
Everything okay?
Some news for you this morning, everybody.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Office has stated that Immigration
won't be called on undocumented immigrants
if they get stopped while driving.
In other words, they can't deport us anymore
if we're stopped for traffic violations.
Careful out there, my people!
However, those really friendly anti-immigrant groups
have threatened to protest,
saying that undocumented immigrants are criminals
and should not be in this country.
Well, let them talk.
I'll show them how much I'm worth by working hard.
Luis.
It's time, son.
Get up.
Dear Virgin, please don't let Luis follow
in his brother Rodrigo's footsteps.
You can forget about me. I don't need you anyway.
This is my new family.
Consider me dead too. Got that?
Dead!
Alright, buddy, time to eat.
Come on. Sit.
Sit.
Sit, I said!
Dad! No!
Goodness, Luis!
You scared the heck out of me!
Why are you coming in the back way?
Where'd you spend the night?
Calm down, Dad. I didn't want to wake you.
What am I going to do with you, son?
Where were you all night?
Don't worry, man. You know I'm not like Rodrigo.
I was at Nick's. We were doing homework.
You work so much, though, that you forgot.
If I work that much,
it's because I want to give you a better life.
Besides, you asked me for a computer
so you wouldn't have to go to over to your friends'.
That computer is ancient, Dad.
Everyone's got a tablet now.
Hey! What do you mean ancient?
I just finished paying it off three months ago.
Don't play me for a fool.
I've already been there and you know it.
-Alright, Dad. -Don't drink out of that.
Pour yourself a glass.
Look, if you don't believe me, call Nick.
His number is in there.
Go ahead. Call him.
I'm not going to call him. I trust you.
Don't drink of out the jug. Please use a glass.
Fine!
Sanchez is here.
Grab your things. I'm taking you to school.
No...
I've already got a ride to school.
Fine. Do you whatever you want.
Listen up, though.
We're going to have a talk tonight.
You can't keep doing this, son.
Absolutely not. You know that.
-Don't brush me off. -Fine.
Alright. See you later, kid.
Take care.
That's what we're facing, folks.
Let's see what these politicians will say...
What's up, man?
What's going on with you?
Why the face?
I already know.
You argued with Luis.
He didn't come home last night.
He says he told me he was staying at a friend's,
but I don't believe that.
Why are you starting things? He's a good kid.
I know that.
But people tend to pick up only bad habits.
I'm worried he'll get into gangs
like Rodrigo did when their mother died.
That's my problem.
Yeah, man.
It's this damn neighborhood's fault.
I don't know what's going on.
I need to get out of this neighborhood.
For Luis' sake.
It's not the neighborhood.
L.A. is overrun with gangs.
Hey!
You've got company.
He's going to scare away my customers.
I thought your prices were already scaring them away.
Listen, I don't want gangbangers in my shop.
Calm down, Mother Teresa.
Now you want to act like a saint.
You think I don't know you were buying stolen cars?
Tell that guy not to come back, okay?
He's doing what you wanted him to do.
He's waiting for me outside.
Besides, I'm going on lunch break, so relax.
Well, you shouldn't waste it on him.
Watch it.
Don't talk about my brother like that.
I'm not wasting it.
Folks, I was just informed
immigration police will conduct a raid near Pacific.
Someone who was fired called Immigration
and ratted out the undocumented immigrants working there.
That's two blocks from here.
We've got to go and help them.
Everybody, get in!
Hurry!
Hold on tight! Let's go!
Here.
Well?
How'd I do? Like the old days?
You know, when I'm rich...
When we're rich, I'll still be eating these tacos forever.
Yeah, right!
Really?
"When we're rich?"
You think we're going to win the lottery or something?
Why not?
Life is full of surprises.
Who knows?
Maybe my luck will change sooner than you think.
What do you mean?
Are you getting out of La Colonia?
Are you?
Hey, hey...
No.
That's not it.
-That's too hard. -That's what I thought.
But...
Yes.
You know what though?
You can.
I got you into this, and I'm getting you out.
I have to get you out.
This isn't all you. It's us.
What'd you smoke today?
Did you forget why I got "Mati" tattooed on me?
The same reason I got "Ade" tattooed on here.
Exactly.
I think you'll be better off without me though.
No way.
That's not going to happen.
We made a pact when we were kids.
I honor that pact and I'll never forget it.
Do you remember our pact?
-Not the pact. -Yes, the pact.
-No... -Come on.
Show me your wrist.
How does it go?
You know you're the only person in the world who calls me Mati?
-Ever since we were little. -Yep.
We always used to say...
Together...
Forever.
Helping these people
with the immigration police around was dangerous, man!
What were we supposed to do?
We can't turn a blind eye.
You heard them on the radio.
Their own coworkers ratted them out because they were envious.
All they were doing was working
so they could feed their families.
A double life? Me?
Yes. You.
Don't play dumb.
Your brother's a gang member. Are you too?
Listen, I haven't stolen anything from this shop.
I've been an honest person and I do my job really well.
Have customers ever complained about me?
No...
Then will all due respect,
what I do in my free time is my business.
Anyone follow you?
No, relax. I know what I'm doing.
We've been circling this area
and I still don't see anyone selling anything.
Los Azules' leader was the one who told me.
He knows everything that happens in this city.
Los Alacranes need to know this is our territory too.
La Colonia's territory.
Her majesty,
the great anonymous gangbanger's daughter,
has spoken.
Shut up! Make fun of me again...
Stop!
What?
Your famous gangbanger dad is going to kill us?
Please, Noemi.
Everybody knows you're no mobster's daughter.
Actually, you don't even have a dad.
I do.
I just can't tell you his name because...
What's happened, buddy?
Some bird is lodged in there.
Who knows how it got in there?
Damn.
That'll probably stink for a week.
I'm sick of this, man.
I'm too old.
I've decided it.
I'm going to Guadalajara.
What? Hold on.
What do you mean you're going to Guadalajara?
What about the company? The truck?
I want to see my grandson grow up.
I want to be with my wife.
I'll just sell the truck.
Sell it?
You know what? I'll buy it.
How?
You don't have papers or a bank account.
How are you going to buy it?
I know, but don't worry. That's going to change.
You know my son was born here. He's a U.S. citizen.
I'm sure Obama's immigration reform
will let me get my work papers really soon.
Just give me some time.
Well, I've got a neighbor
who will get it off my hands quickly.
I'll give you until tomorrow... so hurry up.
Tomorrow. Got it?
What happened? Is everything okay?
Why'd you want me to meet you here?
Calm down. Everything's okay.
Have you heard from Noemi?
Has she called you or talked to you?
I haven't heard from her at all. Just tell me what's going on.
What happened?
Well...
Noemi saw me making deals with Los Alacranes.
What?
Adela...
Please understand.
I need to get you out, and I need money for that.
That's why I decided to...
I want us to leave La Colonia,
not to ally ourselves with their worst enemies.
Noemi hasn't said anything. They don't know.
They haven't shot me. They're not after me.
What did you do?
Tell me.
Look.
Los Alacranes gave me this.
They want me to sell it in our neighborhood.
I told them yes.
Things will work out.
Do you know what this means?
When the gang bosses in prison find out,
they'll put a price on your head.
In La Colonia...
...we don't care much for snitches.
Or cowards.
Betrayal is paid for with your life.
Stealing from your own people is betrayal.
What?
You didn't know?
You won't die this time because it's only cigarettes,
but next time...
your kids get their heads cut off.
Where are they?
I said where are they?
Trece, everybody...
You just got in the middle
of two gangs that hate each other.
Now guess what?
You're going to be their target.
How could you be such an idiot?
Don't talk to me like that. I'm still your big brother.
-Have some respect. -Some big brother!
Instead of looking after me and protecting me,
you keep dragging me into your crap.
When are you going to grow up?
