Desierto

Leaving is a form of dying.

One never arrives until being at rest with You.

You Lord, in your sudden flight from Egypt, across sown paths...

...multiplied the bread and healed the sick with the gospel...

...before returning to the Father with Your ascent.

You took Abraham, father of all believers, from his land.

You showed him the path to reach you.

You, Lord, experienced migration.

And You brought it upon all men who know what it is to live...

...and who seek safe passage to the gates of Heaven.

I'm sorry.

I can never find the button.

Squeeze its balls.

I've already tried that.

There it is!

I told you!

Goddammit!

It's broken down, Lobo.

Bring the stick that's behind the seat.

Lobe!

Go see if there's a mechanic back there.

But quickly!

Any of you know about cars?

Come over here.

- Hey, Don Primi. - Yeah?

This one.

- Are you a mechanic? - Yes.

Take a look at this. See if you can fix it.

Shit.

It just broke down?

It was jerking around. Didn't you feel it?

Yes.

Take a look and see what's wrong.

It's just that sometimes...

...if this shit heats up...

- Be careful... - Careful, it's hot.

There you go.

- What the hell's wrong with it? - Look at this.

- What is that? - The brush is screwed.

So fix it! You're a mechanic!

That can't be fixed. It has to be towed.

Who the fuck is going to tow us?

I don't know.

- Excuse me. - Whatever.

Yes, boss?

The truck broke down. We're stranded near the badlands.

Hey...

Do you know if we're gonna cross over here?

They're figuring it out.

There's twelve. And two more that we picked up in San Pedro.

I'll tell them. Okay then.

Don't worry about it.

Lobo, I've got bad news.

You're crossing through the badlands.

What are you talking about? We agreed to cross at Sote.

That was before. Look at the truck.

This route is longer and more dangerous.

I know, but we can't just leave them here.

No, you're right.

Look Don Primi, I would never let you down.

I'll do it, but it'll be more expensive.

Come on Lobo, don't break my balls!

Okay. 100 pesos each, but get moving.

200, Don Primi.

Fucking Lobo!

200. But round up the cattle, quickly!

Let's go.

- Lobo... - What?

We said we wouldn't do the badlands.

What?

Are you afraid of getting lost?

No, but you know what happened to the Sonoyta gang.

Those idiots were running drugs and got killed by the cartel.

Don't whine. You even got a bonus!

Listen.

The United States is that way.

Okay?

Come on! Get out of the truck! Move, move!

Come on!

Can you throw me my backpack, please?

Keep an eye on them. They are worth a lot of money.

Good luck and be safe.

God bless you.

Come on, hurry up! Let's go!

Hurry UP!

Welcome to the United States, scumbags.

From now on we have to be very careful.

If you see or hear anything...

...even if it's a fucking rancher, you've got to hide.

Is that clear?

Hey you, come help him!

Hold the fence so we can cross.

Let' s gm!

Hurry UP!

Get down! Get down!

Come on.

Run! Run! To the bushes! Come on! Come on!

Hurry UP!

Run! Come on, assholes!

- It's your first time crossing? - Yes. It's my first time.

Do you have family there?

Yes. Cousins...

Lobe...

Don't drink all your water, we've still got a day and a half to go.

You've been warned. What do you want?

Come over here!

Leave me alone!

Listen to me, you jerk!

I've only known you for three days.

My parents asked you to take care of me, but you're not my husband.

Don't overreact! It's not a big deal.

Hey, man... Hey!

You have a cigarette?

- What? - You don't have a cigarette?

I don't smoke.

Me neither.

But this lady is asking you to leave her alone.

That's none of your business.

I know, it's just that... we're trying to rest...

...it's hot...

Cheer up and let's go!

Let' s gm!

Hurry!

- Hurry up! - I'm walking as fast as I can!

Do you want help with your bag?

No... I'm fine.

It's okay, we can take turns.

Let me help you for a few minutes.

No, thanks.

Lobe!

Wait for us!

Lobo! Wait, asshole!

Don't be a jerk!

Don't leave us!

Fucking asshole!

Hurry up! Move it, assholes!

Can't you see they're leaving us?

Goddammit!

What's wrong?

I'm exhausted.

You don't have a choice, man.

I know it's hard.

Come on!

Let' s gm!

Breathe, just breathe.

Have you crossed before?

- What? - Have you crossed before?

Yeah.
