00:22:07,238 --> 00:22:10,198
[Valens]
'What, you ashamed
of being Mexican, boss?'
528
00:22:10,285 --> 00:22:12,766
My mother came to this country
and cleaned people's homes.
529
00:22:12,853 --> 00:22:14,289
'Wanted me to assimilate.'
530
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:15,464
Speak English.
531
00:22:15,551 --> 00:22:17,553
Still no reason
to lie about it.
532
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,861
Every time I speak Spanish,
it reminds me of Poppa.
533
00:22:20,948 --> 00:22:22,297
It hurts too much.
534
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:23,603
Kinda like his
gambling problem.
535
00:22:23,690 --> 00:22:25,300
There's no need
to dredge that up.
536
00:22:25,387 --> 00:22:26,910
[Rush]
'Oh, because it wasn't
his problem.'
537
00:22:26,997 --> 00:22:28,477
It was yours.
538
00:22:28,564 --> 00:22:31,262
Your pop got tired of
digging you out. Cut you off.
539
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:32,960
It took you a month
to file a police report.
540
00:22:33,047 --> 00:22:34,657
Waiting for that trail
to go cold.
541
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:36,224
No, it wasn't like that.
542
00:22:36,311 --> 00:22:37,660
What was it like, Jose?
543
00:22:37,747 --> 00:22:39,401
Starting to lose track
of all your lies.
544
00:22:39,488 --> 00:22:41,664
'Look, I had a problem, okay?'
545
00:22:41,751 --> 00:22:44,188
And I caused my pop
a lot of pain.
546
00:22:44,275 --> 00:22:45,886
But he made damn sure
I paid him back.
547
00:22:45,973 --> 00:22:48,279
- With what?
- 'My back.'
548
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:51,108
He needed a new
trainer for Sapphire.
549
00:22:51,195 --> 00:22:53,459
And I needed to prove myself.
550
00:22:53,546 --> 00:22:55,417
[Santana playing "Se A Cabo"]
551
00:22:57,419 --> 00:22:59,465
[Jose]
'Let's go, Sapphire.'
552
00:22:59,552 --> 00:23:00,770
Okay, cool her down.
553
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:03,643
- She's a little washy.
- Anxious.
554
00:23:03,730 --> 00:23:04,992
That's because she's
been raced too much.
555
00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:06,950
She's probably getting
shin splints already.
556
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,695
[sighs]
Listen, poppa.
557
00:23:12,782 --> 00:23:14,654
I'm done this time, for real.
558
00:23:16,090 --> 00:23:18,484
- No short cuts, Jose.
- Uh-uh.
559
00:23:18,571 --> 00:23:21,225
Man has to have
a purpose, a calling.
560
00:23:21,312 --> 00:23:23,924
It's a gift to have
un don con los caballos.
561
00:23:24,011 --> 00:23:25,012
Special bond with the horses.
562
00:23:25,099 --> 00:23:26,666
Si, and you have it.
563
00:23:26,753 --> 00:23:28,494
[Sapphire neighs]
564
00:23:28,581 --> 00:23:31,148
The horse knows
who to trust..
565
00:23:31,235 --> 00:23:32,367
'Who to fear..'
566
00:23:32,454 --> 00:23:33,760
'Who to lay it all down for.'
567
00:23:33,847 --> 00:23:36,197
Like Firewalker.
568
00:23:36,284 --> 00:23:40,549
- When I first uh, saw him run..
- Mm-hmm?
569
00:23:40,636 --> 00:23:43,509
...this old, uh,
dust track in New Mexico
570
00:23:43,596 --> 00:23:45,511
just a two-year-old,
small for his age...
571
00:23:45,598 --> 00:23:48,470
not the fastest,
not the strongest horse.
572
00:23:48,557 --> 00:23:49,906
'38-1 odds.'
573
00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:51,212
'Won by three lengths.'
574
00:23:51,299 --> 00:23:52,909
- It's unbelievable.
- Mm-hmm.
575
00:23:52,996 --> 00:23:54,302
taken that horse from last
576
00:23:54,389 --> 00:23:56,347
to first, more times
than I can remember.
577
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:57,392
[Jose]
'A scrapper.'
578
00:23:57,479 --> 00:23:58,480
[Sonny]
'Warrior.'
579
00:23:58,567 --> 00:24:00,569
Leaves it all on the track.
580
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:02,179
Why isn't he racing
in the derby then?
581
00:24:02,266 --> 00:24:05,052
Ah, people don't care
about what you did.
582
00:24:05,139 --> 00:24:06,445
'They only care about
what you're doing.'
583
00:24:06,532 --> 00:24:07,881
[horse neighing]
584
00:24:07,968 --> 00:24:09,448
You'll win with Sapphire,
though, right?
585
00:24:09,535 --> 00:24:12,320
Sapphire hasn't lost
a race yet.
586
00:24:12,407 --> 00:24:15,018
If she loses, it's my fault.
587
00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:16,846
[neighing]
588
00:24:19,501 --> 00:24:21,416
[music continues]
589
00:24:23,157 --> 00:24:25,376
Largate, sinverguenza!
590
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:28,815
Largate! Andale!
Largate!
591
00:24:28,902 --> 00:24:30,120
No te metas en lo
que no te importa!
592
00:24:30,207 --> 00:24:31,165
Largate! Largate!
593
00:24:31,252 --> 00:24:32,166
Suelta la pala a ver que pasa!
594
00:24:32,253 --> 00:24:33,428
Yeah, fine!
595
00:24:33,515 --> 00:24:36,083
Vete! Ver a te!
596
00:24:36,170 --> 00:24:38,041
[music continues]
597
00:24:40,304 --> 00:24:44,004
It only took him 20 years to
tell me I was good at something.
598
00:24:44,091 --> 00:24:46,615
It was like we just
turned a corner..
599
00:24:46,702 --> 00:24:48,182
...and then he was gone.
600
00:24:48,269 --> 00:24:51,359
So, who was the guy in
the truck, spooking the horses?
601
00:24:51,446 --> 00:24:52,752
Juan Diaz.
602
00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:55,015
He worked out of the back barn.
603
00:24:55,102 --> 00:24:57,060
Seeing if we were
selling any old horses.
604
00:24:57,147 --> 00:24:58,758
Sold off to market
for the meat?
605
00:24:58,845 --> 00:25:01,021
Yeah. People turned
a blind eye to what happened
606
00:25:01,108 --> 00:25:02,718
to the old horses.
607
00:25:02,805 --> 00:25:05,025
Poppa said he couldn't
do it anymore.
608
00:25:05,112 --> 00:25:07,593
He had Diaz banned
from the track.
609
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,247
That back barn...is near
where the horse grave was?
610
00:25:10,334 --> 00:25:12,685
Until it burned down.
611
00:25:12,772 --> 00:25:14,643
Look, I don't know
if Diaz dug that grave
612
00:25:14,730 --> 00:25:16,602
but he had to know
it was there.
613
00:25:16,689 --> 00:25:18,560
[neighs]
614
00:25:18,647 --> 00:25:20,519
We'll be in touch, Jose.
615
00:25:23,957 --> 00:25:25,698
Hot date?
616
00:25:25,785 --> 00:25:27,743
Uh, something
I gotta check on.
617
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:30,833
I'll meet you back
at the roundhouse?
618
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,792
[instrumental music]
619
00:25:34,924 --> 00:25:35,969
'Viejo?'
620
00:25:36,056 --> 00:25:37,187
'Nuevo.'
621
00:25:37,274 --> 00:25:39,407
[laughing]
What's wrong?
622
00:25:39,494 --> 00:25:41,017
Shoes didn't fit?
623
00:25:41,104 --> 00:25:42,105
I don't think
I can return them.
624
00:25:42,192 --> 00:25:43,977
Ah, no, no.
625
00:25:44,064 --> 00:25:47,633
Look, ma tell you
she hurt her knee?
626
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,461
- Maybe. You know your mother.
- She talks a lot.
627
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:53,464
Some I hear,
some not so much.
628
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:54,727
This have anything
to do with her
629
00:25:54,814 --> 00:25:56,032
taking cash from
our bank account?
630
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,295
Oh, just try to remember, Pop.
631
00:25:58,382 --> 00:26:01,298
Oh, uh, I was watching
the Phillies game
632
00:26:01,385 --> 00:26:02,778
the one that ended
in the triple play.
633
00:26:02,865 --> 00:26:04,563
Kid on second base,
unassisted--
634
00:26:04,650 --> 00:26:06,173
Uh, Bruntlett,
yeah, beat the Mets.
635
00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:07,348
What happened with Ma?
636
00:26:07,435 --> 00:26:09,785
She went to, uh,
Dayley's market late
637
00:26:09,872 --> 00:26:12,832
to pick up some seafood
and rice to make me some paella.
638
00:26:12,919 --> 00:26:14,355
She slipped and fell.
639
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:16,096
- And that's it?
- Yeah, she came home..
640
00:26:16,183 --> 00:26:18,577
...took a shower
and went to bed.
641
00:26:18,664 --> 00:26:19,839
What about the paella?
642
00:26:19,926 --> 00:26:21,405
She said she was tired.
643
00:26:21,492 --> 00:26:24,321
I had a frozen dinner instead.
644
00:26:24,408 --> 00:26:26,323
That's Dayley's
on 19th and Fairmount?
645
00:26:26,410 --> 00:26:28,282
No, the one on Spring Garden.
646
00:26:28,369 --> 00:26:31,459
Your mom says they have
better produce there.
647
00:26:31,546 --> 00:26:34,288
Everything okay?
648
00:26:34,375 --> 00:26:37,813
Yeah, yeah, Pop.
Everything's fine.
649
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:39,685
Okay.
650
00:26:39,772 --> 00:26:43,036
- Wow, estas flaco.
- Si, si, si.
651
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:48,041
Banana bread.
652
00:26:48,128 --> 00:26:50,260
Put nuts in it this year.
653
00:26:50,347 --> 00:26:52,915
Never misses an anniversary.
654
00:26:53,002 --> 00:26:55,701
- The mother?
- Wanda Johnson.
655
00:26:55,788 --> 00:26:58,094
Left for school,
never came home.
656
00:27:00,009 --> 00:27:01,141
How long has it been?
657
00:27:01,228 --> 00:27:03,970
Sixteen years.
658
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:05,754
Won't let go.
659
00:27:05,841 --> 00:27:07,234
You call her back yet?
660
00:27:07,321 --> 00:27:10,150
Just to break her heart
all over again.
661
00:27:10,237 --> 00:27:12,021
No new leads.
662
00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:13,457
'No sense to be made of it.'
663
00:27:13,544 --> 00:27:15,155
[phone ringing]
664
00:27:16,939 --> 00:27:20,160
Uh, you get ready to make
the call, use my office.
665
00:27:20,247 --> 00:27:22,075
Yeah.
666
00:27:22,162 --> 00:27:24,555
How the hell did you
end up in Williamsport?
667
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:26,427
Car's got GPS, Wayne.
668
00:27:26,514 --> 00:27:28,255
Well, turn on the lights
and lead-foot it to Harrisburg
669
00:27:28,342 --> 00:27:29,517
before the Treasury
closes at 6:00.
670
00:27:29,604 --> 00:27:32,694
I need that box!
671
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:34,609
Knucklehead's gotta be
related to somebody.
672
00:27:34,696 --> 00:27:37,307
Uh, looks like the meat man
got his ticket punched.
673
00:27:37,394 --> 00:27:40,223
Juan Diaz, deported by INS.
674
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:42,225
Yeah, impounded
his truck back in '99.
675
00:27:42,312 --> 00:27:44,184
And I found
a track parking pass..
676
00:27:44,271 --> 00:27:45,925
...butcher tools
and a stunbolt gun.
677
00:27:46,012 --> 00:27:47,666
Ah, put a horse down fast.
678
00:27:47,753 --> 00:27:50,581
- Or a jockey for good.
- We even know if he's alive?
679
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:53,628
Just that Diaz got
deported to Esteros, Mexico.
680
00:27:53,715 --> 00:27:55,761
And Angelo Rivera
is from Esteros.
681
00:27:55,848 --> 00:27:58,241
And population, 2100.
682
00:27:58,328 --> 00:28:00,722
Sonny's bug boy comes from
the same small town as Diaz.
683
00:28:00,809 --> 00:28:04,247
Ends up working the same
place, 4000 miles away.
684
00:28:04,334 --> 00:28:06,032
Angelo worked for the meat man.
685
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,990
Knew damn well
where that grave was.
686
00:28:09,992 --> 00:28:12,691
[Angelo]
'Okay, that was good.
That was very good.'
687
00:28:15,084 --> 00:28:16,956
Okay, you guys go
brush the horses.
688
00:28:17,043 --> 00:28:19,654
Taco de caballo.
689
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:22,918
Ever make carne asada
from horse meat, Angelo?
690
00:28:23,005 --> 00:28:25,704
Back in Esteros?
691
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:27,488
That's some kind of sick joke?
692
00:28:27,575 --> 00:28:29,708
Sick alright, but no joke.
693
00:28:29,795 --> 00:28:32,667
- You working with Juan Diaz?
- Know a lot of Juan Diazes.
694
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:34,495
Talking about the one from
your hometown, knucklehead.
695
00:28:34,582 --> 00:28:36,497
The meat man.
696
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:43,547
Um, Diaz offered me
a way out of Esteros.
697
00:28:43,634 --> 00:28:45,898
I needed a job,
willing to do anything.
698
00:28:45,985 --> 00:28:48,204
Killing horses?
699
00:28:48,291 --> 00:28:51,338
I never killed a horse.
Just buried what was left.
700
00:28:51,425 --> 00:28:53,993
You know, it made me sick,
but it was part of the business.
701
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,257
That all you buried? Horses?
702
00:28:57,344 --> 00:28:59,346
Come on, guys.
703
00:28:59,433 --> 00:29:02,131
Look, all I ever wanted
to be was a jockey.
704
00:29:02,218 --> 00:29:03,698
I owe my career to Sonny.
705
00:29:03,785 --> 00:29:05,308
And your life to Juan Diaz.
706
00:29:05,395 --> 00:29:07,006
Sonny had him
banned from the track.
707
00:29:07,093 --> 00:29:10,226
- Lost his livelihood.
- Guy who gave you your start.
708
00:29:10,313 --> 00:29:11,706
You dug that grave.
709
00:29:11,793 --> 00:29:13,403
Put Sonny's body
where it'd never be found.
710
00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:15,275
No.
711
00:29:15,362 --> 00:29:17,494
Juan got me here.
712
00:29:17,581 --> 00:29:19,540
But Sonny gave me my dream.
713
00:29:21,847 --> 00:29:23,762
And I threw it all away.
714
00:29:25,633 --> 00:29:27,548
[vomiting]
715
00:29:31,378 --> 00:29:33,293
[panting]
716
00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:40,735
Heard about what happened
to Firewalker.
717
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:43,564
Sorry.
718
00:29:43,651 --> 00:29:45,740
It was no accident.
719
00:29:45,827 --> 00:29:47,655
I'm not gonna let Baxter
get away with it this time.
720
00:29:47,742 --> 00:29:48,874
Be careful, Sonny.
721
00:29:48,961 --> 00:29:50,658
Don't want to see you
get blackballed.
722
00:29:50,745 --> 00:29:53,356
End of the line
for me, mi amigo.
723
00:29:53,443 --> 00:29:56,707
My last race, was gonna
ride Firewalker out.
724
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:59,449
Son of a bitch Baxter
has taken that away from me.
725
00:29:59,536 --> 00:30:01,800
Firewalker deserved better.
726
00:30:01,887 --> 00:30:05,281
Killing horses for money
has to end.
727
00:30:05,368 --> 00:30:08,154
We all get thrown away
when we can't win anymore.
728
00:30:08,241 --> 00:30:10,199
Unless you keep winning.
729
00:30:10,286 --> 00:30:13,289
Slow down, kid.
You'll end up like me.
730
00:30:13,376 --> 00:30:16,336
- One hell of a jockey?
- Broke, whizzing blood.
731
00:30:16,423 --> 00:30:18,294
Lucky to have
one kidney working.
732
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,777
A 110 pounds.
733
00:30:22,864 --> 00:30:26,607
Getting on a 1000 pound animal,
going 45 miles an hour.
734
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:28,261
And you're not even straight.
735
00:30:28,348 --> 00:30:33,266
Like you always taught me,
do whatever I have to do to win.
736
00:30:33,353 --> 00:30:35,311
I was wrong.
737
00:30:35,398 --> 00:30:36,878
I'm worried about you, Angelo.
738
00:30:36,965 --> 00:30:39,315
I'll be fine.
Never felt better.
739
00:30:39,402 --> 00:30:41,274
Is that why you
stole from me?
740
00:30:45,408 --> 00:30:47,280
I was gonna pay you back.
741
00:30:49,891 --> 00:30:52,763
You want to pay me back?
742
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,765
Take care of yourself.
743
00:30:58,552 --> 00:31:00,597
Sonny was right.
744
00:31:00,684 --> 00:31:02,686
Horses, jockeys..
745
00:31:02,773 --> 00:31:04,819
...were all disposable.
746
00:31:04,906 --> 00:31:06,516
One day you're
on top of the heap
747
00:31:06,603 --> 00:31:10,216
and the next, done for good.
748
00:31:10,303 --> 00:31:12,479
Firewalker?
Sold off to Juan Diaz?
749
00:31:12,566 --> 00:31:15,003
No, stable fire.
750
00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:17,658
But everybody knew it
was an insurance job.
751
00:31:17,745 --> 00:31:20,182
- How sick was Sonny?
- Pretty bad.
752
00:31:20,269 --> 00:31:23,403
But a macho guy like that
never went to a doctor.
753
00:31:23,490 --> 00:31:25,579
Now where was he getting
all the pain pills?
754
00:31:25,666 --> 00:31:28,321
Track vets will hook you up
for the right price.
755
00:31:28,408 --> 00:31:32,412
'But for him, it just
wasn't enough anymore.'
756
00:31:32,499 --> 00:31:35,371
Neither is your alibi, Angelo.
Comin' in with us.
757
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:48,297
[instrumental music]
758
00:31:54,086 --> 00:31:55,957
[phone ringing]
759
00:31:59,178 --> 00:32:02,616
I understand
your...champion horse
760
00:32:02,703 --> 00:32:08,143
Firewalker, died
in a stable fire in '86?
761
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:11,059
Uh, casualty
of the business.
762
00:32:11,146 --> 00:32:12,582
You know, we can put
a man on the moon
763
00:32:12,669 --> 00:32:15,281
but we still
make barns out of wood.
764
00:32:15,368 --> 00:32:18,327
You were investigated
for insurance fraud in '94.
765
00:32:18,414 --> 00:32:20,286
Stallion named Bloodline.
766
00:32:20,373 --> 00:32:22,375
Lost three champion horses
767
00:32:22,462 --> 00:32:25,334
'over a 13 year period
to barn fires.'
768
00:32:25,421 --> 00:32:27,249
- Hmm..
- That's a lot of accidents.
769
00:32:27,336 --> 00:32:29,948
Well, it happens
to the best of us, partner.
770
00:32:30,035 --> 00:32:31,645
But I'm gonna tell y'all
just like I told them
771
00:32:31,732 --> 00:32:33,560
insurance investigators.
772
00:32:33,647 --> 00:32:35,866
Why in the hell would I
wanna kill a horse that I paid
773
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:37,390
nearly a million dollars for?
774
00:32:37,477 --> 00:32:39,783
That's exactly what we
were asking ourselves.
775
00:32:41,872 --> 00:32:43,526
Till we saw this.
776
00:32:43,613 --> 00:32:45,050
This insurance claim.
777
00:32:45,137 --> 00:32:46,965
Uh, you made two million dollars
778
00:32:47,052 --> 00:32:48,662
when Firewalker
went up in smoke.
779
00:32:48,749 --> 00:32:51,882
And another mil and
a half...from Bloodline.
780
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:54,015
Well, that right there
is just peanuts
781
00:32:54,102 --> 00:32:55,799
in comparison to..
782
00:32:55,886 --> 00:32:58,237
...what I spend
each year on stud fee.
783
00:32:58,324 --> 00:33:00,761
Guess they outlive their use,
like Firewalker.
784
00:33:00,848 --> 00:33:02,458
[Valens]
'You really know
how to squeeze'
785
00:33:02,545 --> 00:33:04,939
a dollar out of a horse.
786
00:33:05,026 --> 00:33:06,941
Dead or alive.
787
00:33:07,028 --> 00:33:09,813
Well, I'm going to
take that as a compliment.
788
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,033
That is, unless y'all know
something those insurance
789
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,513
'investigators don't.'
790
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,082
Oh, we know Sonny was
going to rat you out
791
00:33:17,169 --> 00:33:18,866
after that big race.
792
00:33:18,953 --> 00:33:20,737
[Rush]
'Couldn't afford that
kind of attention.'
793
00:33:20,824 --> 00:33:22,826
Open up another arson
investigation.
794
00:33:22,913 --> 00:33:25,090
So, you put him in a hole.
795
00:33:25,177 --> 00:33:26,743
[scoffs]
796
00:33:26,830 --> 00:33:29,616
I didn't kill that old cuss.
797
00:33:29,703 --> 00:33:32,140
But I should've.
798
00:33:32,227 --> 00:33:33,924
Thank y'all for coming.
799
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:35,926

- 'Good luck'

[crowd cheering]
803
00:33:46,502 --> 00:33:49,636
This is why they call
this the Sport of Kings.
804
00:33:49,723 --> 00:33:52,421
Listen at 'em. They can't
wait to see those beasts run.
805
00:33:52,508 --> 00:33:54,554
It's going to be
a good one, sir.
806
00:33:54,641 --> 00:33:57,426
This goes well, you're going to
be training many of my ponies.
807
00:33:57,513 --> 00:33:58,993
Thank you, Mr. Baxter.
808
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,603

'Little Hope
running a close second.'
821
00:34:26,455 --> 00:34:27,543
He's going to break her
out of the pack.
822
00:34:27,630 --> 00:34:30,111
No, not yet..
823
00:34:30,198 --> 00:34:31,852
'They turn for home,
Sapphire breaks open'

Mr. Baxter--
839
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:11,021
Shut up!
Get the hell outta here.
840
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:14,242
I'm gonna have that taco bender
and your whole family deported!

'You know, that was the..'
843
00:35:18,072 --> 00:35:20,814
...first of three heart attacks.
844
00:35:20,901 --> 00:35:23,904
I spent a month in recovery
at Mercy Hospital.
845
00:35:23,991 --> 00:35:25,384
Sonny choked on purpose?
846
00:35:25,471 --> 00:35:27,125
Over a stupid horse.
847
00:35:27,212 --> 00:35:30,302
Sapphire should've won
that race, sure thing.
848
00:35:30,389 --> 00:35:34,175
Even his son bet
ten large ones on him to win.
849
00:35:34,262 --> 00:35:36,612
So, why'd Sonny do it?
850
00:35:36,699 --> 00:35:38,875
Crackpot, I think he wanted
to take Firewalker
851
00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:40,660
back to Mexico with him.
852
00:35:40,747 --> 00:35:42,923
Till you killed
Firewalker for the money.
853
00:35:43,010 --> 00:35:45,926
Insurance investigators
said in all three reports
854
00:35:46,013 --> 00:35:48,885
faulty wiring
caused those fires.
855
00:35:48,972 --> 00:35:50,757
It's quite a coincidence.
856
00:35:50,844 --> 00:35:53,586
So, another horse
dies in the fire.
857
00:35:53,673 --> 00:35:56,937
Why don't we just call it
a return on my investment?
858
00:35:59,461 --> 00:36:03,291
I beat that thing just like I
did in 1994 with Bloodline.
859
00:36:04,901 --> 00:36:07,252
Statute of limitations,
detectives.
860
00:36:07,339 --> 00:36:08,383
Is that right?

863
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:13,649
You beat it in '94 'cause seven
864
00:36:13,736 --> 00:36:15,912
years had passed
in that investigation.

00:36:15,999 --> 00:36:18,219
[Valens]
'Seven years from when
the investigation begins.'
866
00:36:18,306 --> 00:36:19,916
Not...when the crime
was committed.
867
00:36:20,003 --> 00:36:21,875
Yeah, which in the case
of Firewalker was..
868
00:36:21,962 --> 00:36:23,311
...hmm, an hour ago.
869
00:36:23,398 --> 00:36:25,792
'When we called your
insurance company and..'
870
00:36:25,879 --> 00:36:28,360
...decided to investigate.
871
00:36:28,447 --> 00:36:30,057
Stand up, Baxter.
872
00:36:30,144 --> 00:36:32,015
You're under arrest
for insurance fraud.
873
00:36:35,410 --> 00:36:37,282

00:36:40,807 --> 00:36:42,983

00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:44,941
I come bearing gifts.
876
00:36:45,028 --> 00:36:47,030
Sonny's safe deposit box.
877
00:36:47,117 --> 00:36:48,989
Inside..
878
00:36:49,076 --> 00:36:51,992
'...a receipt for a plot..'
879
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:54,908
'..life insurance policy..'
880
00:36:54,995 --> 00:36:57,693
..and a copy
of his last physical.
881
00:36:59,782 --> 00:37:01,741
Blood in his urine..
882
00:37:01,828 --> 00:37:04,178
...years of bulimia and pills..
883
00:37:04,265 --> 00:37:06,180
That guy was a mess.
884
00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:07,790
Uh, he was getting
his affairs in order.
885
00:37:07,877 --> 00:37:10,315
And look who he left it all to.
886
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,232
Standard bow rake.
887
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:16,886
One inch width
between each tooth.
888
00:37:16,973 --> 00:37:19,454
Same exact width
between puncture wounds
889
00:37:19,541 --> 00:37:21,935
to the back
of Sonny's skull.
890
00:37:22,022 --> 00:37:24,067
Somebody brained
your old man, Jose.
891
00:37:24,154 --> 00:37:25,373
It's a terrible way to go out.
892
00:37:25,460 --> 00:37:27,027
Ever cross your mind
893
00:37:27,114 --> 00:37:29,290
your gambling might've cost
your dad his life?
894
00:37:29,377 --> 00:37:32,032
I told you,
I cleaned up before that.
895
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:33,512
[Rush]
'Told us a lot
of things, Jose.'
896
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:35,078
Truth is you bet
large on your dad
897
00:37:35,165 --> 00:37:36,732
and it cost you big.
898
00:37:36,819 --> 00:37:39,344
The job with Baxter
and a lot of coin.
899
00:37:39,431 --> 00:37:42,303
Old man had to go, so you took
him out with a rake like this.
900
00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:45,132
Stable rake. Anyone at
the track had access to that.
901
00:37:45,219 --> 00:37:46,699
Like Angelo?
902
00:37:46,786 --> 00:37:49,136
What I told you from the start.
903
00:37:49,223 --> 00:37:53,619
Angelo, who...won that
last race against your dad?
904
00:37:53,706 --> 00:37:54,968
Yeah. So?
905
00:37:55,055 --> 00:37:57,884
Angelo, who was
like a son to him..
906
00:37:57,971 --> 00:37:59,799
...cut from the same
poor streets of Mexico.
907
00:37:59,886 --> 00:38:01,714
Ah, y un verdadero Mexicano.
908
00:38:01,801 --> 00:38:05,413
Wished he was his son. I mean,
Angelo was a real man. A jockey.
909
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:07,285
You? Americanized.
910
00:38:07,372 --> 00:38:09,330
Too big to be a jockey.
911
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:11,245
A gambler, liar.
912
00:38:11,332 --> 00:38:12,986
'You did nothing but cost him.'
913
00:38:13,073 --> 00:38:15,205
At least I wasn't
a scumbag drug addict.
914
00:38:17,991 --> 00:38:20,036
We found Sonny's life
insurance policy.
915
00:38:22,517 --> 00:38:24,519
Life insurance?
916
00:38:24,606 --> 00:38:27,348
- My old man?
- Oh, yeah.
917
00:38:27,435 --> 00:38:28,958
Guess who he left everything to?
918
00:38:30,830 --> 00:38:34,399
And I'd be worried if my son
was a...compulsive gambler.
919
00:38:34,486 --> 00:38:36,183
[chuckling]
Why waste the money?
920
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:38,316
That makes perfect sense
who he left his money to.
921
00:38:38,403 --> 00:38:40,187
- Yeah.
- 'Who?'
922
00:38:40,274 --> 00:38:42,668
Kristi? Angelo? Firewalker?
923
00:38:42,755 --> 00:38:45,235
- They all came before me.
- He paid off your debts.
924
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:46,933
To save himself
from embarrassment.
925
00:38:47,020 --> 00:38:49,718
The great Sonny Sandoval
couldn't have a loser for a son.
926
00:38:49,805 --> 00:38:52,678
Now if he'd just won that last
race, you'd have been rollin'.
927
00:38:52,765 --> 00:38:54,244
Damn right.
928
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:55,811
But no, he had to pull up.
929
00:38:55,898 --> 00:38:58,205
Just to make a point.
930
00:38:58,292 --> 00:39:01,382
Yeah, that he never
cared about me.
931
00:39:01,469 --> 00:39:04,124
You're wrong, Jose.
932
00:39:04,211 --> 00:39:06,909
[Rush]
'The weight loss,
injuries, pills..'
933
00:39:06,996 --> 00:39:09,042
had taken its toll.
934
00:39:09,129 --> 00:39:11,436
Sonny's internal organs
were...shutting down.
935
00:39:11,523 --> 00:39:14,569
Your pop was makin'
plans to take care
936
00:39:14,656 --> 00:39:16,658
of those he left behind.
937
00:39:16,745 --> 00:39:19,835
My father was dying?
938
00:39:19,922 --> 00:39:23,709
Yeah. Still managed to make
that last payment, though.
939
00:39:23,796 --> 00:39:26,668
And you...were sole beneficiary.
940
00:39:28,409 --> 00:39:31,020
[Valens]
'Left you $3 million.'
941
00:39:31,107 --> 00:39:32,979
[Rush]
'Even after all you
put him through?'
942
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:37,331
He still loved you, Jose.
943
00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:42,945
[instrumental music]
944
00:39:43,032 --> 00:39:45,034
I don't understand.
945
00:39:45,121 --> 00:39:46,993
Why couldn't he just tell me?
946
00:39:56,350 --> 00:39:58,265
[bottle shatters]
947
00:40:00,267 --> 00:40:01,660
You happy now?
948
00:40:01,747 --> 00:40:04,880
I'm free, mi hijo.
949
00:40:04,967 --> 00:40:06,882
I borrowed ten G's.
950
00:40:07,492 --> 00:40:09,319
What?
951
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:11,278
You promised me, Jose.
You gave me your word.
952
00:40:11,365 --> 00:40:14,281
I bet it all on
you. To win.
953
00:40:14,368 --> 00:40:16,022
Mi hijo, why?
954
00:40:16,109 --> 00:40:18,198
When was the last time
you bet on me, poppa?
955
00:40:18,285 --> 00:40:20,069
- Hmm?
- Son.
956
00:40:20,156 --> 00:40:21,593
You're sick, okay?
957
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,159
- You need help.
- Okay, then help me!
958
00:40:23,246 --> 00:40:25,553
- I tried.
- You tried?
959
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,426
By-by-by tanking the race
so that Angelo could win?
960
00:40:28,513 --> 00:40:29,862
I'm your son! Not Angelo!
961
00:40:29,949 --> 00:40:31,907
I-I couldn't win
another race for Baxter
962
00:40:31,994 --> 00:40:33,605
after what he did to Firewalker.
963
00:40:33,692 --> 00:40:35,302
But I'm the one that pays.
964
00:40:35,389 --> 00:40:37,652
Poppa, it cost me
money and a job!
965
00:40:39,175 --> 00:40:42,222
I have failed you.
966
00:40:42,309 --> 00:40:43,919
I did not want
this life for you.
967
00:40:44,006 --> 00:40:46,835
Wanted you to be
better than me.
968
00:40:46,922 --> 00:40:48,794
I made so many mistakes.
969
00:40:51,057 --> 00:40:52,885
It's time everyone knows
the truth, okay?
970
00:40:52,972 --> 00:40:54,582
These horses deserve better,
and so do jockeys.
971
00:40:54,669 --> 00:40:56,889
What are you talking about?
972
00:40:56,976 --> 00:40:58,412
Poppa, if you do that,
they blackball me.
973
00:40:58,499 --> 00:40:59,674
I'll never be hired
as a trainer again!
974
00:40:59,761 --> 00:41:01,197
No, you'll get help.
It'll be okay.
975
00:41:01,284 --> 00:41:02,895
- No, no, Poppa.
- Trust me. Don't worry.
976
00:41:02,982 --> 00:41:04,374
I will take care of everything,
mi hijo. You'll see.
977
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:05,680
I'm so sick,
I'm so sick and tired
978
00:41:05,767 --> 00:41:07,073
of waiting for you!
979
00:41:18,171 --> 00:41:20,042
[Santana singing "Samba Pa Ti"]
980
00:41:39,279 --> 00:41:41,194

981
00:42:23,410 --> 00:42:25,325
[music continues]
982

Stay tuned for scenes
