[suspenseful music]

[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, sh*t!

- No one, huh?
- Oops.

Oh, sh*t.

- 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.

- 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]

g*dd*mn conservation society.

Just put a stop to that.

I think I'm out, gentlemen..

...for good.

f*cking 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 sh*t

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.

f*cking 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 sh*t 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 k*ll 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, f*ck 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
ba*ls are for, right?

Mm-hmm.

Presenting yourself
is readily f*ck

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]

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[music continues]

[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 b*tch.

f*ck off.

When you go off to college

we can finally
have some peace around here.

What's your problem?

I turned 18,
got a f*cking 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, f*cking 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.

- f*ck...
- 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 sh*t?

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 f*ck' 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 f*cking hate you. I hate you.

Sawyer, wake up.

Wake up. Come on.
