Frontera

-When’s the wedding for you two lovebirds?

You’re going to make me the best man, right?

Yes. I mean who else?

-This whole fucking town is burning down around us.

I did what you asked.

Look at me

because it was the hardest thing that I ever had to do.

-The hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

You’ve never been to war.

The closest you’re ever going to get to there is across that border.

You’re safe here.

You’ve never had to cross enemy lines and you never will, thanks to me.

We’re suppliers now.

What the fuck do you know about sacrifice?

Been doing it my whole life.

-I don’t need you. I’m better off by myself.

All you do is fuck things up.

Fine. I’m gone.

I don’t care, all right. I don’t care

Get out of here.

Okay. You know what?

Do whatever the fuck you were going to do with that gun.

-Let me tell you something, it should have been

you in that hospital, not him, not him.

What the hell did I do?

What did I do?

Any problems coming through?

No it was quiet.

This is the guy they sent me?

This the guy.

Hello. Come bearing gifts for me?

This guy speak any English?

Not a word.

-Fuck, I told them bilingual how do they expect

living in the States without speaking the language?

Hey, hey.

What’s his deal?

He sent him to help us.

He’s very loyal, so whatever you need, Joseph.

I don’t trust this piece of shit.

-I didn’t say translate that, motherfucker.

Get in the car, okay.

-It’s a sad day in the community here, folks, as we mourn

the passing of local icon and Vietnam war hero Bradley DuPont Sr.

Leaving behind his wife Elsa and two sons,

one of which I’m sure you know very well.

That’s right. It’s a candidate for mayor Bradley DuPont Jr.

Right now, polling much higher than incumbent Mayor Richard Ross,

whose numbers have dropped drastically in the last couple of weeks.

The young candidate gave his eulogy early

this morning at st. John’s Catholic church

where he spoke about his father’s legacy and also the lessons he’s left behind.

-Ever since I was young, I wanted to be just like my father, a compassionate

individual, someone who served his local community and fought for his country.

He was my biggest inspiration.

He was my hero.

The last thing he said to me before he passed was, "Bradley,

keep your family first, your country second and yourself last."

Those people can buy that shit.

I won’t.

What was the real last words he said to you?

I don’t remember.

A compassionate individual, someone who served his local community.

-Police Captain Frank Daniels hinted at his support of Bradley Nippon Jr.

today at a press conference held at city hall.

Frank spoke briefly about Bradley’s stint as a public

defender and also the changes he’s looking at--

-It’s only two more weeks and it’s official.

-After the current holds release -

I’m so excited.

- the young candidate has taken a huge

Me too.

-lead over current Mayor Richard Ross.

-Better work on having that baby before I become president.

-Bradley Jr. hit the streets earlier this week speaking to local

citizens about their concerns, what they believe--

Mind if I get a cup?

What, you come here to off me, Frank?

Let me tell you kid, your father gave

me that gun as a gift, I’ve never even fired it.

I think of it more as my lucky charm.

I thought I’d give it to you.

It’s a fine gun.

I don’t believe in luck though.

Sonny, why do you disrespect me?

Fine, forget it.

I remember when you were a little boy, you and your brother, running

around this place with your toy guns playing cops and robbers.

Yes.

What brings you here, Frank?

-What? I can’t just drop in to say hi to a friend?

Come on.

-All right, your brother’s political aspirations

are starting to make some people very nervous.

If someone were to do an investigation

on you, would they find anything about me?

-Frank, I’m clean. There’s nothing to find.

Good, just keep it that way all right.

Learn for your brother.

Because these, ain’t no fucking toy guns.

-He was a great man, tough son of a bitch, toughest I ever knew.

War does that to you.

Listen, Sonny, if you need anything or if you have anything

you want to tell me, you know where to find me.

-You’re really going to tell him tonight?

We’ll just see how the night goes.

Sonny, how is it going, amigo?

Go on, babe, I’ll catch up.

-I thought you were done with these people?

I am. Just go on.

-You look pretty, Sara. It will just be a tiny minute, okay?

You know what? Fuck off, Joseph.

- You hear that, man. Oh, man, she’s feisty.

What’s up, Joseph?

-Oh, just hop in the car we need to talk.

-No, man, I have to head back home. Why don’t you try the--

Hop in the car. We need to talk.

What the fuck is so important?

-Listen, I hate to do this to you right now, so close to your father’s death.

It really affected me heavily too, man.

Your dad and I we had a done deal.

It’s the first time I hear about it.

Were you fucking retired now?

-Everything you and him agreed upon, it just doesn’t apply to me anymore.

Oh my God, here you go, you have no idea what’s going on.

-What man, do people write fucking contracts now?

Read up.

How is your brother’s campaign going anyways?

-Listen, man, whatever you had going with him, died with him.

Do you fucking understand that?

-I should just fucking shoot you right now man.

You think you can just walk away from this and play house with your skank?

This isn’t a good time, man.

It’s never a good time, man.

My people are expecting the shipment in the south, okay?

Now, you either give it to us nice

and quietly, or we go to the next of kin.

I don’t care if I have to burn down everything you own and care for, man.

I get what I paid for, okay?

Now, you go home and think about what’s best for your family, okay?

Hey, it was good seeing you man.

Hey.

What happened with Joseph out there?

-Don’t worry about it, it’s my business.

How do we tell them about the baby?

Shit, Sara, not now.

All right.

I’ll go to the store, your mom asked me to pick up the dessert.

I’ll go with you.

No, it’s all right.

Just go back to the table, and spend some time with your family.

We could talk later.

-You look so much like your father, How is it going?

I saw you on TV the other day, you spoke so well and you looked so handsome.

Didn’t he?

-Dad’s death gave you some free publicity.

Sonny, stop that.

-The media want’s to honor the man, ask me questions,

what do you expect me to do?

He taught you well.

Yes, you too.

I heard your deal with those extracurricular activities.

I’ll probably start getting questioned about that too.

Those activities paid for your career.

I earned my position.

Is that what you really believe?

Yes, I do.

-Hey, can I be in one of those CV spots because I really love the slogan.

-Fuck you, Sonny, I’m not going to sit here and have you question my integrity.

That’s enough, both of you.

You really did inherit dad’s bad side.

That’s not all I inherited.

I said enough.

Sonny, you made your own choices.

I’m going to go walk my dog.

All I have left is you boys.

Ma, I don’t have time for this.

Mom, is there anything I can do to help out here?

Yes, talk to your brother.

Hey, Sonny, wait up.

You know you shouldn’t be smoking those things.

Yes, you gave me my first one.

Good point.

What’s going on?

Are you seriously out of the business?

I thought so.

Today the fucking voters came out to prey in what’s left of the old man.

What are you talking about?

-Dad, he left one last mess that I got to clean up.

Hey, thanks to you I can’t do it because I’m under investigation.

Me? What do I have to do with this?

Why would you be under investigation?

-Somebody’s looking to throw some dirt your way, what a better

way to find some shit on your crooked little brother, right?

Who told you this?

I still got my contacts.

Oh, damn it, Sonny.

Every time I try to get this behind me, something’s got to come up?

-I hate this shit as much as you do, but I don’t have any other choice.

I’m done playing big Brother to you.
