[in Spanish] Now that you are husband and wife...
...it is time for you to return home.
Everything your mother built there is being torn apart by our enemies.
We must reclaim what is rightfully ours.
You came here a stranger to me.
An intrusion into my life.
Just as you were a street girl my father brought home.
But in the end we became brothers.
As a token of my love...
...I hereby give you Yaritza.
Anyone who asks...
You came south after the death of your mother...
...and found rebirth with this beautiful Mexican bride.
Never forget, we are conquistadors.
This cartel will devour everything it touches.
Together little brother...
...we will become more powerful than my father ever dreamed.

You wanna kill a guy?
Look.
This guy... Damian.
Do you know him?
Yeah.
I know who he is.
Can you do it by Sunday?
Is it a problem if I can't?
Yes it's a problem.
Why?
It's for Magdalena's son.
[air hisses]
He returns on Monday.
He wants to send a message.
What's the message?
They've been taking her territory.
That ends now.
What are you gonna pay me?
Five thousand.
[chuckles]
Nah.
That's too cheap for the shot caller.
He's worth ten grand at least.
They're just a bunch of mayates.
How about eight?
Six.
Or you can go fuck your mother.
Okay.
But I get the money upfront.
Half, like always.
[chuckles]
Come on Alfonso.
This is some Kamikaze shit.
You want a discount if I'm killed?
Can you do it by Sunday or not?

Hello.
Excuse me.
God. Great shoes.
[cawing in distance]
Oh, hello.
Hi. Um, I live across the street.
Yes.
Do you know what's happening with this house?
¿Habla ingles?
- Si. - Good.
Um, I was friends with the woman who lived here.
Magda.
These are all of her personal belongings.
Do you know if they sold the house?
Um, do you have a number for your employer?
Maybe I could just ask them.
Uh... Uh...
Oh, the man who pays you...
Phonero numero?
Oh, my goodness, Jesus.
Mrs. Watson, hi.
Oh, you dear, dear boy. We thought we would never see you again.
Oh, that's okay. I'm okay. Thank you.
Well, I saw the truck out front,
and I thought someone was clearing the place out
to try to flip it.
I was worried they would sell
all your mother's lovely things.
I tried to ask your maid,
but she was not very helpful.
- She's actually my wife. - Oh.
We got married in Mexico.
Well, I'm sorry, dear, I thought you were the help.
[clears throat]
It's very good to see you.
So you've been in Mexico.
With relatives until I came into my trust.
That's good. That's very good.
So you'll be taken care of.
I'm gonna be taking over my mother's businesses
if that's what you're asking.
Well, that's wonderful.
I'm sure she'd be very proud.
I'm so sorry about what happened.
That was such a tragedy.
It's okay.
We really got to get to some business, though, so...
I'm sorry to rush you out.
Oh, of course, of course.
Okay, and you take care.
- Thank you. - Okay.
- I'll walk you out. - Thanks.
- Have a nice day. - Oh, thank you. You too.

You're sure?
Is that a problem?
That's a powerful gun.
Something a bit smaller might be better for you.
Like a twenty two.
Something you can hide in a purse.
[in English] I'm good with nine millimeters.
[in Spanish] Just trying to help.
The police here don't like armed Mexicans.
They'll fuck you.
[in English] Yeah, I know.
I'm from here.
[in Spanish] Right.
Magdalena's son.
He's all grown up right?
[in English] I wanted to ask you. Back then, did we ever meet?
You know, when you worked for my mother?
'Cause I just don't remember you.
[in Spanish] I didn't work for her.
I worked with her.
But no, you and I never met.
[in English] Okay.
So we're all set for the meeting.
[in Spanish] We're all set.
There's one other thing.
[in English] What?
Damian.
[in Spanish] Tell Don Miguel we took care of him.
[in English] I'll catch him up to speed when we're done.
[in Spanish] Remind him I took care of it personally.

Can you get me one like this...
but with a diamond-studded grip?
I want something beautiful.
Victor!
Can you do that?
Of course.
I'm a craftsman.
How do you want it?
The outside grip studded with diamonds.
Do you know Tarot?
Yeah.
You know the Hanged Man?
Yeah, the... The upside down guy.
Can you paint this on the inside grip?
You want gold-plated bullets too?
I'm keeping the gun...
...not the bullets.

Are you real?
Dante. Hey.
Where you been, man?
Uh, Mexico.
What, for like a year?

Halley thought you were kidnapped.
Anyway. Dude, how are you?
- Good. - I'm sorry. I'm Dante.
- Hi. - Yaritza.
- My wife. - Oh, wow.
- Yeah. - Hey, congratulations.
So my folks, they're in Shanghai.
I got a thing in my place tomorrow.
Dude, you should come. Both of you.
We'll celebrate.
We'll see. We got a lot going on.
I get it. Yeah, I get it.
Hey, but, um...
You think I can still get some coke, though?
It's just enough for me, you know, and Carrie.
Anyways.
Yeah. Anyway, come by tomorrow.
Be good to hang out, catch up, get to know your girl.
It's nice meeting you.
YARITZA [in Spanish]: Tell me about your mother.
JESUS [in Spanish]: My mother didn't want me to be Mexican.
That's why she came here to give birth to me.
She wanted me to be American.
[in English] She was a great mom, though.
She really was.
She gave me everything.
[chuckles]
She would do anything for me. She sacrificed so much.
But she had to hide so much from me because of that.
And I know that that broke her heart.
I knew some things. I knew that she had, uh...
a check cashing business, that she was part owner in a restaurant,
but what did I really care, you know?
I was a little kid.
But then when I was 13...
When I was 13, on the day of my first communion, she told me.
She said that I was a man now.
And that I can really know her.
It's crazy.
Your mom telling you that she's a cartel boss.
It's pretty cool.
She was pretty cool.
At school, I was nobody.
No one talked to me.
And I tried. I tried so hard.
Then one day after school I get this idea.
I start stealing a little bit of coke from my mom,
and I started selling it at school.
It was super easy, 'cause it was everywhere in the house.
And once I started serving, word got out.
I was the kid with the hookup.
I got hot really fast.
Everybody wanted a piece of me.
But then I got busted by this teacher that I'd been supplying.
And they called my mom. That's when I started freaking out.
[in Spanish] Was she mad at you?
[in English] Yeah.
Yeah, she was angry.
She said there's only one rule.
[in Spanish] Nobody steals from the cartel.
[in English] Yeah.
Nobody steals from the cartel.
Then I got punished.
[sighs]
But it was good. I was 16,
I needed guidance, she set me straight.
After that, she started supplying me.
Everyday at lunch, I'd sell an eight-ball.
She'd put it in with my sandwiches.
[in Spanish] She'd make you lunch?
[in English] Yeah.
It was just the two of us. I'd come home after school,
we would count money
or plan trade routes.
Sometimes we'd get a little high.
It was great.
She gave me a life.
And I became the man in hers.
So when that cop came
and shot my mom...
It was like everything fell apart.
It was like everything was taken from me.
I was nobody again.
And I couldn't let that happen.
So I killed that fuckin' cop that shot her.
Now I'm gonna take back everything that was my mom's.
I'm gonna take back everything that was rightfully hers.
[doorbell chimes]
[knocking "Shave and a Haircut"]

[in English] What are you doing here?
[in Spanish] I've got something for you.
[in English] Alfonso, you can't come to this house.
Hey, relax.
[in Spanish] I have something important to tell you.
[whistles]
I've always loved this fucking house.
Wow.
Hey, girl.
How you doing?
JESUS [in English]: So what did you want to talk about?
[in Spanish] We have a little problem.
But don't worry.
[in English] But first...
My man put a rush on this.
[in Spanish] And I wanted to bring it to you...
...and give it to you personally, sweetheart.
It's all yours.
You like it right?
Mm-hmm.
JESUS [in English]: So what's this problem?
[in Spanish] I wouldn't call it a problem so much as...
...as a delay.
Oh, mother fucker...
Look at this.
Mother Magdalena.
That is a beautiful woman.
She looks so alive.
Don't worry.
My people are handling it.
They're doing what they have to...
...to solve this problem for you.
[in English] Problem is probably not the right word.
[chuckles]
Okay.
El Damian, looks like...
[in Spanish] ...we killed the wrong mayate.
[in English] What happened?
[in Spanish] Just that.
They killed the wrong guy.
[in English] The good news is...
[in Spanish] that's still one less mayate in the world, right?
JESUS [in English]: Does he know it was us?
[in Spanish] Fuck... no.
Absolutely not.
Just give me a few days...
...we'll find him.
Done.
[in English] What?
Know what you are?
[in Spanish] What?
[in English] You're a little wetback.
[in Spanish] What did you say, motherfucker?
[in English] I called you a wetback.
That's what you are.
All you had to do was kill one person,
and like the ignorant wetback you are,
you couldn't even do that right.
Let me ask you a question.
Is your donkey parked outside?
Or did you ride a goat here?
Are you wearing a fucking costume right now?
Is there some gangster store you all shop at?
Some warehouse out in the valley somewhere?
You guys go in groups? Get a group discount?
Was that shit half off? Hmm?
I mean, is that even real gold?
- Yeah, it's real gold. - Really?
- Yeah, really. - 'Cause it looks like Mommy spray painted that for you.
Oh, no.
Mommy wasn't around, right?
She was too busy.
Bent over somewhere.
Bunch of wetbacks
shoveling condoms full of cocaine up her ass.
Travels back and forth across the border like a fucking mule.
[speaking Spanish]
What?
That's right.
I'm the boss.
You're just a fucking gangbanger on his way to prison
ruling over a bunch of wannabe fags
too stupid to kill the right person.
So here's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna go back to your casitas and your crack pipes
taxing taco vendors,
all your wetback shit, okay?
- Don Miguel said... - I don't give a fuck.
You take after your mother.
You're a fucking mule.
You know what? You even kind of look like her.
