[cell phone ringing]
[Hassie] I stopped asking myself
what it would take for things
to change a long time ago.
My mom, my mom's mom
they spend their days working too hard
to make sure we don't feel it.
[operator on call] '911. What s your emergency?'
[Hassie] What they don't realize is you can't avoid it.
The plague of understanding your place in this world.
[instrumental music]
[speaking Spanish]
Thank you so much
for opening your pool little early for our little event.
As you explained, it was the best thing
for the young couple.
I hope Chris is the gallant escort
you expect for your daughter.
Hey, Cami, do you know where she is?
- I, uh...no. - She's not answering my text.
Chris, I'm working.
[indistinct chatter]
[cell phone beeps]
Camila..
...where is my daughter?
- I have no idea, actually. - Get her here.
Okay.
Marco.
[Hassie moaning]
[Spanish music playing on radio]
[both moaning]
Don't stop! No one knows we're here.
Oh, shit!
- No one, huh? - Oops.
Oh, shit.
- My bad. - I think we're in trouble here.
I think we're coming to get yelled at.
I think she's coming to yell at us.
Oh, no.
Let's go. We got to go.
'Here, take the car. I'll drive her.'
Hassie, your entrance was 30 minutes ago.
Your mom is salty as hell.
I know, I'm sorry.
We just got a little.. Little distracted.
Yeah, that's the word, distracted.
'What?'
Hassie, there's mud all over this hem.
You know, or, we could all just get out of here
and not go to party.
No, no. It's fine.
Okay. That's only a couple of hours, right?
You can come to the after-party at the barn.
and finish what we started.
[chuckles] Okay.
This is great. It's fantastic.
- So amazing. - You're jealous.
- Gross.
Give me the keys.
Stupido,let's go.
You have anger issues.
Bye.
[instrumental music]
[engine cranking]
Alright, I can't fix it though, Amigo.
[cell phone beeps]
Everything okay, boss?
Um...look, stay behind
finish this off for me.
Uh, buy a few bottles on me tonight for tonight's shindig.
I don't know what's your...
I always know what's happening on this farm.
[Sam] My daddy told me that land is the only thing
worth fighting for..
...worth dying for
'cause it's the only thing that'll last.
Not so much anymore.
No.
My topsoil was a disaster.
Overhead through the roof.
I thought it was a good idea
to use the land to build a resort.
More revenue for the city.
[chuckles]
Goddamn conservation society.
Just put a stop to that.
I think I'm out, gentlemen..
...for good.
Fucking tree huggers.
What was it this time? Endangered ants?
Before it comes back next week.
I'm sorry to hear it, Holloway.
Here, try some of my newest cab.
It might help you forget your troubles for a minute.
Sorry, I should not have unloaded all this on you all.
Today is about your girl.
To the birthday girl.
To my baby girl.
She's not a baby anymore.
I'm gonna hit the head.
Girl's gone. Land's gone.
[indistinct] Let's go.
Five hundred dollars a bottle.
I don't know how you live with yourself.
They all taste the same to me.
All these years of breathing in cow shit
just to ruin your taste buds.
[chuckles]
So, conservation society is playing hard ball now.
Oh, Holloway just got sloppy.
- Should have seen him coming. - Mmm.
Prime piece of property.
But it's right up to yours.
And yours.
That topsoil..
...can't be good for grapevines.
Yeah, well, your cow shits are ain't gonna fix it.
May the best man win.
I mean that is really terrible.
[speaking Spanish]
Look, who finally decided to show up.
I-I was sleeping, my, my...
Did your mother not specifically tell you
to make sure to be on time?
- Sorry. - Mijo.
You're not a kid anymore.
[speaking Spanish]
It's a real world now.
Have I ever been late for the animals, dad?
Yeah. No, I haven't. Okay?
But this is just a stupid party.
[speaking Spanish]
When you agree to a job, any job..
...you do your best.
Mmm. We're here representing the Clarkmans.
If the staff is not up to par, they look bad.
[speaking Spanish]
Yeah. Yes sir, I understand.
I'm sorry.
[speaking Spanish]
[sniffing]
[speaking Spanish] You smell like perfume.
No, it's probably the laundry detergent.
- Come on. - Laundry detergent.
- Oh. - Oh, no.
It s ruined. Cancel the party!
The party is canceled everybody.
Look, I love you, but you re the worst.
She's just kidding guys.
It's not cancelled.
[instrumental music]
Would you please try and hide your boredom?
She's getting dressed right now, ma'am.
Fucking fantastic.
You two really need to find another hiding spot.
I'm 18, I should be able to be with whoever I want.
Hass, if anyone were to find you guys...
I don't care.
I love him. I'm tired of covering shit up.
Love?
Hassie...since when?
Whatever happened to you
we just need to get it out of our system?
Well, it's, it's more than that now.
I mean, it always has been. We've just been...avoiding it.
You do know who your parents are, right?
Clarkman dairy duchess
court migrants, farm worker.
A match made in heaven.
- Duchess? - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, okay.
[laughs]
Oh.
- You look good. - Thank you.
Can't believe it's your last summer at the ranch.
I know.
God.
Happening so fast.
Have you thought about what you guys are gonna do
like, when you go off to state?
I don't know.
But...we have all summer to figure it out.
Not worried about it.
God, look at this dirt.
Your mom's gonna kill me.
Look, how dirty.
Hey..
...you're my best friend.
And me leaving isn't gonna change anything.
We're gonna have the best summer ever.
[chuckles]
[grunting]
Okay, let me see.
[sighs]
Happy birthday.
I love you.
Okay, come on, we gotta go.
- So.. - So I found the office.
I can get in once the dancing starts.
If this thing ever starts.
And also I think I found a weak spot.
Well, you know the game.
You find the weakest point and you hammer it.
You've got to be kidding.
So, what I missed?
Uh, literally nothing.
Gee, Luke, where have you been?
Ain't no rest for the wicked and the good don't need it.
- Right, dad? - Mmm. Mmm.
Change before your mother sees you.
Yes, sir.
You know, I really didn't think it was going to be this formal.
Oh, come on, Luke. Really?
Seriously, you better change.
Hassie's pulling one of her stunts again and..
...mommy dearest is in one of her moods.
Well, everything sounds about right then.
It does, doesn't it.
- Nice dress. - Oh, fuck you.
Chris.
What's up?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, we're about the same size, right?
Yeah, yeah. I got you.
What are you thinking, huh?
Oh, I could smell you from here.
Gross.
Yeah, I'll be there in one second.
So, they drive me crazy yet.
Uh, family can be challenging.
Yeah, well, you know, you don't have to deal with mine.
I choose to.
You're a braver woman than I am.
- Are you coming. - Thanks, sure.
- Suits on the bed. - I appreciate you, man.
Uh, oh, uh, Hassie is getting touched up
by the backdrop.
I m gonna go inform the dragon
and if you can find the photographer
and bring him over.
- Copy. - Great.
- You look good. - Thanks.
How's your day been, Chris?
[Chris] 'It's good. It's good.'
I, uh, I should go find the photo guy.
- You good. - Yeah.
Uh, is it cool if I use your shower?
Very. Cool. Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, have fun with my sister.
Okay.
[speaking Spanish]
- She's ready. - About damned time.
Uh, she looks great.
I'll be the judge of that.
Uh, Chris is getting the photographer.
Okay, great. Well, then go back to work.
You know what?
People really like the dessert
with a little mango on it
so bring more of those up.
Ma'am, there's actually no more of those.
Yeah, that seems like your mother's problem.
Thank you.
[grunting]
No..
No.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Hi.
- You look great. - Let's get this over, quick.
Yes, please.
[photographer] 'Alright, big smile.'
[Susanna] 'There she is.'
Oh, have you gotten the shot yet?
She looks just like her mother.
Aw! Points for trying, Chris.
'Go ahead and switch sides.'
'Please, turn and face him.'
Yes, you like each other?
And make sure you get her from this side.
'It's her much less masculine side.'
Thank you.
Hand down.
Yeah, like that.
Yeah, that's good. You like this?
Does this look good? Does this work for you?
Is this good?
Do we got it? Yeah?
- 'You like it.' - Darling..
Why don't you go put some of this on?
It'll make you look less boyish.
Hello, ladies.
Well, look at this handsome young man.
Your mother's been talking up your skills on a horse.
Evelyn would really love
if you came by the farm and helped her.
Well, I would love to
but I can't find too many days off work these days, so..
- Soon. - Apologies for interrupting.
Evelyn, you look beautiful as always.
I need to introduce you to some people.
Of course. Pleasure, ladies.
You might wanna get yourself a wife one of these days
to help you when you take over.
[instrumental music]
[Susanna] 'Thank you everyone for waiting!'
'Eighteen years ago'
'this world became a brighter place.'
Thanks to our daughter, Hassie, being born.
And there are many attributes
that I could give her.
Her beauty. Her graceful disposition.
[Hassie screams]
Hey, thank you everybody.
What's up? Thank you, mom.
Love you. That's my mom, everybody.
'If you people only knew how much time'
'she spent on this party.'
Just love it. It's glorious.
- Bravo, mom. - Welcome to the show everyone.
As you can see, Hassie was quite as shocked
to the system and our lives.
I remember when Hassie started dating Chris
Mr. Miller Dalton handed me my first cigar
'the very day we met.'
Miller, where are you at? There he is.
Actually, guys, how about a big round of applause
'for Miller and his beautiful house?'
[applause]
You guys, well, just give us one moment?
Bear with us.
[Spanish music]
What in the hell do you think you're doing?
Coming out to society.
No, you're trying to stick it to your mother.
Don't. This is important to her.
Look..
[chuckles]
I don't wanna be here any more than you do.
You do know what debutante balls are for, right?
Mm-hmm.
Presenting yourself is readily fuckable
in hopes of gaining a coveted last name.
Does that make you proud?
You agreed to it.
I'm sick of this old world bullshit.
I can change my mind.
- I'm an adult now. - Mmm.
You wanna be an adult?
Act like one.
Have you thought about what had to happen
for this night to come together for you, hmm?
Dalton's people were working for days.
Our staff had to come and support their families
who work all day long.
Woke up four hours earlier
to have the time to make it over here
to set up your party.
So, you wanna remain the teenage rebel
and embarrass this family?
Fine. You know what? We can take it.
But don't you disrespect people who busted their asses for you.
You're better than this.
I love you.
Hurry up. Everybody's waiting long enough.
[sighs]
[instrumental music]
[breathing heavily]
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[music continues]
[Sawyer] 'Thank you for waiting.'
Ladies and gentlemen
it is my honor
to introduce to you
Miss Hassie Clarkman.
[applause]
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
[music continues]
[Hassie] 'Thank you so much for coming!'
- 'Love your dress by the way.' - 'Thank you.'
Have a good night, you guys. Thank you.
[speaking Spanish]
Didn't suck as bad as I thought it would.
Such an ungrateful bitch.
Fuck off.
When you go off to college
we can finally have some peace around here.
What's your problem?
I turned 18, got a fucking cupcake.
This is more than most girls would ever dream of.
And yet, you still think it's beneath you.
You think I didn't see through your act
after that stunt you pulled?
Daddy had to scold you.
So, fucking predictable.
Honestly, I just find it hilarious
that you think you can give me family advice.
[dramatic music]
I know more about this family than you ever will.
So, you're still pissed, huh?
Look, I regret what happened,
but it doesn't change the fact
that you'll never be anything more
than dad's sad stray dog.
Dad shares a lot with this stray.
Things he'd never trust you with.
He knows you can't handle it.
Try me.
- ICE has a quota. - Everyone knows that.
Every once in a while, dad gives him some people.
Keeps 'em happy. Lets us pick.
[laughs]
Oh, you're trying too hard.
Did you really think daddy was going to let you keep
that boy toy of yours.
Oops.
Hope you enjoyed your last day together.
- He wouldn't. - They're family
You'd know, right?
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
What's going on?
- Hunter. - Hassie...breath.
[inhales deeply]
She's just jealous, whatever she said
she just said it to piss you off.
Yeah...you're right.
You know the mind game she plays.
Forget her.
Yeah. Well, I played my part.
The real party.
I have to finish work. Text me.
'Mm-hmm.'
- What was that about? - Hunter.
- Ready to leave? - Hmm? What?
Are you?
[cell phone beeps]
Hassie left.
Honey, Miller and I...
- I have news. - Oh.
It appears that the young lady has ventured off into adulthood.
[chuckles]
Thank you.
Ran away.
Thank you all for coming. It means a lot to the family.
Uh, few of us have to get up in a few hours.
So, party is over.
- Okay. - Okay.
Thank you so much.
Really appreciate it.
See you soon.
You sure it's not too early?
It'll be taken care of.
[male #1] 'When should I tell him to be there?'
Two hours.
- 'Are you sure.' - Mmm-hmm.
'You guarantee he'll be there?'
I've arranged it. He'll be here.
'He's undocumented, correct?'
No papers. That is correct.
'Okay. I'm sending two officers.'
- And Quinn? - 'Yeah.'
Go easy on him.
He's a good kid.
Wrong place, wrong time.
'If he's got no papers, it's all the same to me.'
I understand. Thank you.
So, who is texting you?
- You seemed pretty eager. - Shut up.
- Have fun tonight. - Thank you.
'Good night, Hassie.'
- Bye. Drive safe. - 'Have fun.'
Are you guys ready?
- Yeah. - Oh, such a gentlemen.
Thank you so much.
I'll drive you guys back in my truck.
- It's just down the driveway. - Thank you.
- What's up? - What's up, buddy?
You know too much already.
[indistinct chatter]
Are you coming or what?
You know what? It's better for you guys
to blow off some steam without their boss ruining things.
Okay.
If we don't finish, no one's going to any after-party.
Okay, okay.
Bye.
[instrumental music]
- Hi. - Hey.
Okay, Mael texted me to check nothing's wrong.
Is everything, okay?
Hopefully it's nothing a little tequila.
Just one! Because it's your birthday.
Happy birthday.
[speaking Spanish]
- You know how bad I am. - Yes, I know.
- I can't do that. - Yes, you can.
[music continues]
What you guys are whispering about?
She would like to know
if you'd like to come in for some dessert.
Uh, I-I mean, I would love to, but it's late.
You didn't eat any cake.
- I saw you. - Mom.
She's got a good eyesight.
She's not gonna stop asking.
She's probably gonna ask again
because she likes to embarrass me.
It's tres leches!
I really can't say no to that.
Claro que si! Voy a comerte!
[laughs]
What?
No, you said you're gonna eat her.
Don't laugh.
Hey, by the way she doesn't..
...think that, you know, we're..
- What? No. - I'm just asking.
Okay, I'm just asking.
- Get inside. - I'm sorry.
[speaking Spanish]
[upbeat music]
[dramatic music]
Hope you enjoyed your last day together.
[music continues]
Mael...
[speaking Spanish]
[Sawyer] Before you ask
I already arranged to keep them back.
She'll thank us one day.
I doubt it.
She's too young to know any better.
[sighs]
Yeah, it's the painful things that we learn the most from.
[scoffs]
And you're sure that he didn't come back here?
- Never mind. - Thank you.
[groans]
[dramatic music]
'I thought you had it under control.'
It's the heat and a boozer.
'It's nothing.'
[grunts]
Sorry. I just give a damn.
Mmm.
Not that it matters.
You'll have nothing to worry about.
It's not about that.
Luke, he'll take care of the business entities
and day to day.
Hunter will be a support for him.
Just as she as been for me.
And Hassie will go to college.
[laughs]
She'll figure herself out.
When are we gonna tell them?
[music continues]
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
[music continues]
[indistinct upbeat music]
Maybe we slow down. Wait for the men.
Aren't you afraid of immigration?
Life is full of scary things.
Um, my sister said something earlier
and I know that she-she was messing with me
but I just, I can't..
...shake this feeling.
What did she say?
That...they're coming..
...for your son.
Really care for him, don't you?
A mother knows these things.
And if I know, your mom knows, too.
Plus, neither one of you are as good
as keeping secrets as you think.
- Fuck... - No. Ah-ah!
I'm sorry. I just..
What about Mael?
What if they're coming for him?
[indistinct radio chatter]
We have cameras
all over the edge of the property.
There are fences
to make sure the cars don't drive into the field.
You're right.
La Migra..
They show up like thieves in the middle of the night
with their fake warrants
catch people unaware.
But thanks to your father..
...we're always aware.
So, no one is gonna come here
tonight without warning?
No.
I can't believe that she would lie about that.
I was so scared.
Being here like we are is scary.
But for our kids
we all do things that are scary
or dangerous or stupid.
I don't know how you do it.
We're luckier here.
Many places aren't as careful.
The Holloway's place.
That almond farm down the road.
'Even Dalton'
they're always surprised by ICE.
Always scrambling for new workers.
I've heard some stories.
[dramatic music]
What if...she wasn't lying?
Hassie, where are you going?
Hassie.
[speaking Spanish]
[breathing heavily]
- 'What's up, Has?' - Where are the keys?
- Yeah, what's going on? - Come, Sit down.
Where are the keys?
Hass. Hass. Hass.
Hass. Hass.
Hass, you cannot drive.
Hass, what has got into you?
Do you know about the ICE shit?
Tell me that you didn't know!
About what Hass.
What are you talking about.
Tell her about the handovers.
Hass, so this way the world gave
we didn't make these arrangements
they would come and take them all in one fell swoop.
Okay? We are just protecting our people.
You are getting rid of human beings
so you feel like you have control over it.
Did you know they are taking, Mael.
What are you talking about, Hassie?
Luke, what is she talking about?
- Let go. - I'm trying to protect her.
You need to calm down. You're scaring me.
- Hassie. - Hassie, open the door.
Hassie, let me drive.
- Get out of the truck. - Calm down.
Hass, get out of the fuckin' truck.
Please, okay. I'll fix this.
I'll talk to dad. Just please open the door.
'Do something.'
Hassie, you're drunk.
'Hassie, you can't drive like this, please.'
Stop the car. Let me get in.
Hass, please, okay?
Look, you are drunk.
Hass..
[intense music]
[man on radio] 'Control, this is Delta 307.'
'We're about two minutes out of the state.'
[indistinct radio chatter]
Hass, we can fix it, okay?
We'll get him back from the detention center.
We'll make it right, I promise.
I fucking hate you. I hate you.
Sawyer, wake up.
Wake up. Come on.
[music continues]
[groans]

[Hassie crying]
[music continues]
[TV presenter] In local news, a tragic accident
in the town of Petaluma yesterday as an Immigration
and Customs Enforcement Agency vehicle
'collided with a pickup truck.'
'Luke James Clarkman died at the scene.'
'He was the son of Sawyer and Susanna Clarkman'
among some of the largest dairy suppliers in California.
'Police are still investigating'
'the circumstances of the accident.'
Services for Luke Clarkman will be held this Thursday
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
