UNDER THE SAME SKY
I'm so glad you're here.
I just don't understand how you got here so fast.
Weren't you still in Mexico when you called?
Yeah, but I was on my way.
I wanted to surprise you.
Looks like you're more frightened than surprised.
Cat got your tongue, or what?
I learned that from you.
You haven't talked to us in years.
That's enough, Luis.
What did we say?
I didn't want you visiting me in prison
because they don't even let you touch your relatives in there.
But out here, you're going to need a cop to save you
from me crushing every single bone in your body.
Relax, Dad.
Know why? Because I'm going to hug you.
I've been wanting to do this for the longest time!
I've missed you so much. Did you miss me?
Should I kiss you to death, or beat you to death?
Alright, alright.
Did you miss me or not? I missed you.
Pick up.
I'm so glad you're back, honey.
We need to talk, but not here.
It's too dangerous.
What are you doing?
No, wait. Pick him up.
My kids are asleep upstairs.
We can't talk here.
He's your son, you bastard.
You've been playing me for a fool for a long time,
since before he was born.
Chabela, I can explain.
What's there to explain?
That you've been mocking me by telling me you were single,
and were always away on business trips,
while you had a wife and other kids?
What's there to explain?
That Alex and I are your second family?
No, Chabelita.
Chabelita, I...
I care about you two, and a lot.
Get yourself a divorce lawyer tomorrow.
Or I'm going to tell your wife how much you care about me.
Don't tell me she went to go see that gardener.
I told you, I don't know.
Why don't you wait for her to come back and ask her yourself?
You were both on that bus.
Didn't you see her get off? Where she was going?
I'm new in town, and I don't know my way around.
Besides, I already told you I wanted to go with her
but she said she had something to take care of...
Something?
...and was going to take care of it by herself.
Excuse me, I've got some things to do.
We'll talk later, Juanita. Excuse me.
No, Santiago.
If you waited this long,
you must have something important to say.
Yes, but I'll tell you later.
Tell me outside.
Be right back.
Adelita, Adelita.
I wonder where you are, honey.
And with whom.
How was crossing over?
When we crossed with your mother,
we were filthy and covered in dirt from heads to toe.
I cleaned myself at a gas station.
I didn't want you seeing me all filthy.
What's up with you, bro?
How's the neighborhood treating you?
Good.
How about school?
Same.
Girls?
All good.
A man of few words.
I hope he can man up.
Don't get him started, or he'll never shut up.
You should've gone to see your grandmother and your cousins.
I was going to, but it cost too much money.
Plus, I would've wasted too much time.
So I decided to come straight here.
But when we talked on the phone,
you told me that crossing wasn't going to be easy,
and you got here so fast.
I also said that I had to see my girl.
I made a deal with a coyote, and he helped me cross.
By the way, where's my girl?
Working at Felicia's bar.
Finish those tacos and we'll go.
Mr. Carlos loves you, Felicia. I'm sure of it.
I want to know if you really think he was with her.
I don't think. I know.
They work in the same house,
which means they'll be seeing each other all the time.
I can't believe it.
You were right. She's back.
I told you.
I can smell a bitch from a mile away.
Don't worry.
If she's as bad as you say she is,
Mr. Carlos won't fall for her game.
Don't worry.
What are you doing here, you wretch?
Who the hell invited you to my bar?
I invited myself. I want to talk to you.
Face to face.
The house looks bigger, Dad.
I've been adding on little by little.
I want to build you and Greicy a room in the back,
and another one for the baby.
I've got the plans already.
Does Greicy work far from here?
More or less. We'll take the truck.
Quit sticking your nose in other people's business!
What do you want to know?
I want to see the room
where you'd supposedly sleep all by yourself.
Mr. Talent Manager never had the time
to start a family with me.
Quit making so much noise.
The kids are asleep.
What kids?
Our kid, or you and your wife's?
Our son's downstairs asleep on the couch,
while your wife's kids are nicely tucked in their beds.
I'm sure you even gave them a kiss goodnight.
How many goodnight kisses have you given our son?
How many?
I tried to make this work,
but everything that you ever promised me,
you were promising to someone else.
You bastard! You liar!
Wait.
Hush your mouth.
I'm still with Maria because of the kids.
You're my everything.
One light and one dark.
I wonder what's going on with Felicia and that woman.
I don't know.
I've got to admit, you're either very brave...
or very shameless to come set foot on my territory.
Can we stop with the insults?
Your presence is insulting enough, but go ahead.
Talk.
I heard you're upset because Carlos and I
work at the same house.
What did you expect?
Should I have laid out a red carpet for you
to steal him again?
I need this job. I need the money.
I'll pay you to go far.
You've come to get money out of me.
Of course not.
I just wanted to explain why I accepted to work with him.
Everybody has a price.
And yours is low.
If you accepted to sleep with Carlos...
I don't want your money.
Just leave me alone.
Just like I backed off so you and Carlos could be together.
Just like that.
Am I supposed to believe you?
You once told me that I didn't deserve him either.
Have you come to tell me you accept your defeat?
Carlos and I are through, so you can forget about me.
Pretend I don't exist.
Don't talk to anyone about me.
Who would I be talking about you with?
Or are you saying that because my brother's a cop?
Or is it someone else you're worried about?
Good, and you?
Wait, not here. I can't do anything to you here.
-How's my baby? -Good.
How are you?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Because my son wanted to surprise us, and he did.
-Hi. -How are you?
Did you miss me?
Hello, Auntie.
Aren't you happy to see me?
Yes, honey. Of course.
Hi. How are you?
Good.
Why so dry?
-Are you in love or something? -No.
-Maria, what's wrong? -Not yet.
Why do you keep looking back at Felicia's office?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Go on.
I'll bring you something to drink.
My friend's taking forever.
Don't worry, Juanita. She'll be here soon.
How about you tell me how your first day was while we wait?
Good.
My boss is cool.
He even asked me to sit and have dinner with him.
At the same table?
Yes.
That's strange.
Do you think maybe your boss wants more?
Be careful.
You never know in this country.
I told you, the way I feel about my wife
is very different from the way I feel about you.
Sure.
That's why you both sleep in the same bed.
Let me give you some money for a cab and a hotel.
Just for tonight.
Tomorrow I want a house, just like this.
For my son and me.
Of course, darling.
Tomorrow, you'll go to Mexico and pick out a house...
No, Rudolfo.
Did you not understand?
We're not going back to Mexico.
The cab's here.
Come. Don't wake him.
Come on.
You know where I'll be.
I know.
If you don't come first thing tomorrow morning,
I'm coming back.
I want to see your wife's face when she finds out the truth.
Get the door.
My God.
I'm not the jealous type.
Anyone would find it odd
that your boss would invite you to sit at his table
and treat you so nicely on your day.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Because you're innocent...
and have a beautiful smile.
I could get lost in your eyes.
-Any man... -Juana.
I'm real upset. She's not here yet.
It's time to leave, honey. I need to talk to Juana.
Excuse me.
-We'll talk later. -Alright.
Did you know that the guys from La Colonia
were looking for Adela at the hospital today?
I've got to tell her.
Those guys are hot on her heels.
My daughter's in danger.
Who are you hiding from, you snake?
Why don't you want me to mention your name?
Because.
There's no sense in you talking about me anymore.
I want nothing to do with Carlos, you,
or your family.
That's all.
You're just saying that.
As soon as Carlos gives you the okay,
you're going to crawl into his bed.
Nothing can happen between us.
Not even if he were single, or in bad company.
What happened between us is over.
Do you think I'm stupid?
We both know Carlos is not the kind of man you give up,
but I was with him first.
And if God blessed me with the love of my life,
I'm going to fight for him.
I'm out. I said what I had to say.
No, no, no. You don't decide around here.
I'm kicking you out!
Go on! Get out of here!
Mati's here.
With Felicia?
But...
I don't want your kids finding out...
Get lost! And don't ever come back!
I won't allow trash like you!
Let go!
Or what?
That's enough, Felicia!
Miss...
Don't touch her.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Who's this cutie, Dad?
Dad?
