Whoo!

[cows mooing]

[cows mooing in distance]

[grinder whirring]

g*dd*mn, Mr. Tidwell.

Scared the hell out of me.

Um, w*tbacks cut my fence.

Calf got all tangled up,

and she and her ma got loose

on your side.

Sheriff Thomas caught some, uh,

traffickers two days ago.

They busted through

a couple of gates

over at Bill Wilson's place.

So where at?

Loma Tank. That line there.

I can get over there

tomorrow afternoon.

I'll let you know.

-Mr. Tidwell.

-Mm.

-How you holding up?

-I'm fine.

[birds chirping]

From the studios

of Farm Journal Broadcast,

this is AgDay.

[indistinct chatter on radio]

-[coyotes howling in distance]

-[thunder rumbling]

[reporter on radio]

Then tomorrow thunderstorms

with the highs in the low 80s.

[indistinct chatter on radio]

[cutlery clattering]

[glass breaking]

[Carson] Who's out there?

Oh, god damn you.

[clicks]

Get the hell off my property!

[tense music plays]

[tense music continues to play]

-[metal clanking, thudding]

-Hey!

Get out of here. Hey! Hey!

-[shouts in Spanish]

-[thuds]

God damn you!

-Don't you...

-[g*n c*ck]

Don't you come back here.

God damn you!

You just stay the hell

out of here!

[birds chirping]

[border agent]

Morning, Mr. Tidwell.

How you doing?

Uh, it sounds like

your muffler's loose.

-Have a good day.

-[engine revs]

[woman] Carson.

Carson.

Portia.

How are you?

Um... fine, thank you.

-How are y'all?

-Oh, we're fine. Um...

Owen fell and broke his hip.

That took the wind

out of his sails.

At least now he keeps

his d*ck in his pants.

[Portia snickers]

I, uh, I went...

to the cemetery the other week.

Stopped by to see Cathy.

Pulled some of the grass

and cleaned it up a little bit.

I appreciate that.

[car horn honks]

You remember Vicky.

Vicky, you remember Carson.

[Vicky]

Take care of yourself, Carson.

[somber music plays]

[indistinct chatter

[engine rumbling]

[car horn honking]

[cop's car beeping]

[siren wails]

[sighs]

Swerved out

of your lane back there.

How many'd you have?

[inhales, exhales]

[officer] Right tail light's out

and your windshield's cracked.

Tires are bald. Tags expired.

Not wearing a seat belt.

Be more accurate,

this thing has no seat belt.

Any other county,

this thing would be impounded.

And if you have a valid driver's

license, I'll eat my hat.

Do you want to go back to jail?

Since when

are border patrol traffic cops?

Been trying to call you.

Why don't you answer your phone?

I don't have a phone.

You have a phone.

I gave you a phone.

Don't work.

Not if you don't turn

the g*dd*mn thing on.

Rhonda said that you didn't show

up for your appointment again.

Again.

Said she won't

schedule you anymore

unless I take you in myself,

which as we both know

is virtually impossible.

So what are we

gonna do about that?

Can you answer me?

-I don't need a doctor.

-[officer] Dad.

Every 70-year-old

needs a doctor.

-[radio beeps]

-[indistinct radio chatter]

[sighs]

Don't go anywhere.

Harley here.

[dispatch on radio]

Don picked up a group.

Sounds like someone

might have been shot.

-[engine revving]

-What?

Goddamnit! [sighs]

-[dispatch] What was that?

-Nothing.

Nothing. On my way.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wake up.

-Hey, come here. Wake up!

-[gasps]

-[speaks in Spanish]

You cannot stay in here!

[automated voice on phone] You

- emergency line.

-No, I need to report a, um...

Please do not hang up.

We are currently

answering other calls.

Goddamnit. Goddamnit.

[speaks in Spanish]

-No, no, no.

-[woman speaks in Spanish]

[in English] Look at your leg.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English] Tomorrow, I go.

You need help. Ayuda.

[knocking on door continues]

[Harley] Dad!

-[banging on the door]

-Dad!

[lock clicks]

[sighs]

-Open the g*dd*mn door.

-What're they doing here?

You called 911 and then hung up.

Neil told me this morning.

I wanna check up on you.

Uh, you just wanna check up on

me, why'd you bring them?

Picked up some illegals

last night off of 624.

Lost.

Stopped for water

at a barn and said

somebody popped off

some shots at them.

One of them's missing.

Well, what's this

got to do with me?

You called 911.

It was an accident.

Who calls 911 by accident?

Hey, you told me

your phone wasn't working.

Dad, someone's missing.

And if that someone's shot,

it's a problem.

If someone's dead,

it's an even bigger problem.

If you saw something,

now's the time to speak up.

I don't know anything about it.

[sighs]

We're gonna take a look

around, if you don't mind.

Meantime, just keep

your eye out. Be helpful.

[chuckles]

[inhales deeply, exhales]

[Harley] Let's go!

[engine revs]

[engine starts, revs]

Why?

[Carson] None of their business.

[woman] Where we are?

Coyote says

we close town San Antonio.

We walk.

Well, your coyote lied.

San Antonio,

hundred miles from here.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English] No walk.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English]

Border Patrol got 'em.

My son. Migra.

-Yeah.

-Hey.

Don't show your money.

Someone will take it.

You take me, the bus station,

San Antonio.

I ain't taking you anywhere.

Best thing for you is go back

where you come from.

I go Colorado.

You'll never make it

to Colorado.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English]

I walk two month all Mexico.

I go Colorado.

Three hundred dollars.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English] I no can walk

-What I do?

[fire crackles]

[thunder rumbling]

Morning.

Big front coming in.

Supposed to ice tonight.

You're on private property.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry, Mr. Tidwell.

This road's a pipeline

right-of-way.

Hey, uh, you come across any

sign of that missing ill*gal?

[thunder rumbles]

Dead by now.

[chuckles] Or in Chicago.

[laughs]

Hey, uh, you got any cows out

by Henderson Wash?

Oh, maybe.

One of our sensors tripped.

Gonna go take a look.

Girl, you out there?

Can you hear me?

[whoops]

Can you hear me?

Girl?

Oh, Jesus.

[groans]

Come on.

[Irene grunts]

The hell's going on, Carson?

I won't ask how she got shot.

That wound was filthy.

I don't know what you

think you're doing.

You can't take care

of her by yourself.

We know that doesn't work.

She needs a full examination

in a proper facility.

She needs antibiotics.

I'd write her a prescription,

but that'd be pretty awkward,

wouldn't it?

Her whole system is strained

to the breaking point.

She could easily lose that baby.

She's pregnant.

Four months.

We're not gonna interfere,

Mr. Tidwell,

but you need to think

of her health and the baby's.

She can't stay here.

Tomorrow, the clinic.

[man] I'll keep in touch

about them cows.

[door closes]

[tense music plays]

[Irene sobbing]

[suspenseful music plays]

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm, uh...

I'm looking for Harley Tidwell.

And you are?

Carson Tidwell.

His, uh...

I'm sorry, Mr. Tidwell.

I'm Officer Lopez,

pleased to meet you.

Harley's not here, but he should

be back in a little while.

[baby cries]

[tragic music plays]

[Carson] Drink.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English] Antibiotics.

Go on, drink.

[groans]

-Good.

-[Irene gulps]

[groans]

All right,

there's some food over here.

You try to eat that, all right?

For the baby.

Baby.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Irene sighing]

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English] Your wife.

She was a beautiful woman.

[indistinct chatter

-What?

-Your wife.

What is... was her name?

Cathy.

Catherine.

She was...

She keend eyes.

Kind eyes.

I see

that you love her very much.

She was enferma? Sick?

Yes, she was sick.

This house once nice.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English]

My husband-not-yet...

[in Spanish] Las pandillas.

[in English]

He no pay and k*lled.

They burn our house.

They leave me.

They believe... dead.

Well...

It's time for you to go.

You're well enough

to get around.

And you gotta take care

of that baby.

Your baby needs to see a doctor.

I will take you to Laredo.

And you can get yourself

across the bridge there.

Back across the border.

I no go Mexico.

I go Colorado.

You're not gonna get

to Colorado.

Colorado, it...

it's a thousand miles.

I take a bus. I go Denver.

And how are you gonna

get to the bus, huh?

There's migra everywhere.

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English]

They got them on the highway.

-They're at the bus station.

-I walk! I walk!

You're gonna walk?

You tried that.

Nearly k*lled you.

I can't help you anymore.

[cries]

So I die.

And your baby,

you're gonna k*ll her, too.

Who do this?

[speaks in Spanish]

[in English]

I go, I tell police,

Las Pandillas k*ll my promised.

They burn our house.

And what say the police, huh?

He said, " Cllate .

Be quiet.

Next time,

this knife, it cut deeper."

[tragic music plays]

[cries]

My girl no grown in El Salvador.

My girl grown

in the United States.

She live and decide her life.

I prefer die than go back.

I die...

and she die.

[indistinct chatter]

[door creaks open]

You want anything, Harley?

[Harley]

I'll have a beer. Why not?

[sighs] Thank you.

[sighing heavily]

Now, that hits the spot.

[inhales sharply]

Yeah, some days, right?

I heard you came by the station.

What's going on?

You accidentally call 911,

come by my office

for the first time. Ever.

Something's up.

Just a neighborly visit?

Mm.

Your grandson?

Oh, he's doing well.

Thanks for asking.

Get a load of this.

Corbin broke three school

track records this weekend.

Ran the 100 meters in, uh, 12.

As a freshman.

He's a good-looking fella,

ain't he?

[sighs] Seems like

they're doing all right.

Alicia met somebody.

They're dating, I guess.

Good for her.

-Anyway, salud.

-[clinks]

Oh, uh, that immigrant

that got shot,

you know, or didn't,

who the hell knows.

[sniffles]

Well, we got some information.

Yeah, it's a her.

Twenty-two years old

outta El Salvador.

Pregnant.

ICE picked up one of her

compadres out of Chicago.

I guess he felt bad about,

you know, abandoning her.

They'll interview him

in more detail.

Yep. We lost trace entirely.

The Rangers are supposed

to be looking,

but they don't give a sh*t.

Just another dead w*tback

as far as they're concerned.

Why'd you come by

my office, Dad?

You know something about this.

I can see it in your face.

[sighs]

Dad, you can't drive.

I'll take you home and...

somebody will pick

your truck up tomorrow.

Dad.

-[keys jingling]

-Give me your keys.

-Come on, give me your keys.

-No.

-Give me your keys!

-No.

You're not gonna drive.

You're drunk.

I can drive better drunk

than you drive sober.

[Harley laughs] That's a hell

of a claim to fame.

[Carson]

No, no, no. I got 'em.

-I got 'em.

-No, no.

-[pants]

-Give me my keys.

-I'm not giving them to you.

-Give me the keys.

I'm just going to take you

home, all right?

-Give me my...

-I'm gonna take you home...

-[groans]

-Jesus, you're a mess.

[sighs] Come on. I got you.

No,

get your f*cking hands off me!

That's none of your business.

-You're not police.

-No, I'm your son.

-I'm trying to help you.

-Give me the keys.

No, I'm not going

to let you k*ll anybody...

I'm not going to let

It wouldn't be the first time.

You k*lled her.

Yeah, her own

beloved husband, hm?

What, does that piss you off?

You m*rder*d her!

[grunting]

What? You want to fight?

Is that what this is?

Is that what you want?

-[thuds]

-[grunts]

You got something to say now?

-[thuds]

-[grunts]

[Harley] Goddamnit.

Goddamnit!

[sighs sharply]

All right, drive.

Would you?

Catherine.

Oh, she loved tea.

Uh-huh. Collected 'em.

Chamomile, um, peppermint,

Darjeeling.

Can't remember 'em all.

She said that each cup

of tea was like a, um...

it was like a vacation.

Because we didn't...

we didn't get away much.

You know,

ranch life, it's just...

it never ends.

And she would have liked

to wander more.

She, um...

She died in that room there.

And Harley, he wanted to, um...

he wanted to put her somewhere.

Yeah, he thought that someone

could, um... could help her.

But, uh...

there weren't no helping

that disease.

Oh, they told us that, uh...

that it was only

a matter of time.

That, uh...

only gonna get worse.

And it did.

She wanted me to...

to, um...

to help her end it.

And, uh...

[clicks tongue]

I wasn't ready for that.

Uh...

God, we'd been together

almost our entire lives,

since, uh...

since middle school.

And I just... I couldn't.

I just couldn't imagine

being in this world without her.

And on the day that she, uh...

Well, I was in there and...

I was trying to feed her

like usual. I mean, she...

she hadn't

hardly moved in weeks.

And all of a sudden, she turned

and looked at me, and...

there she was.

My Catherine.

And she took that gnarled up

old hand of hers and she...

God, she hit me...

so hard.

And that's when

I finally understood.

She... hated... this life.

Hated herself.

Most of all, she hated me.

I was forcing her to stay alive.

So I took that pillow...

I put it over her face...

and I held it there.

[inhales deeply]

And...

I held it there.

[trembling breath]

And I sat with her.

Till her...

Till her body was cold.

Then I called the police.

They said it was m*rder.

I guess it was.

You don't understand a word

I am saying.

[tragic music plays]

You won't be needing no trailer.

[suspenseful music plays]

[cow mooing in distance]

Cow got cut up in some wire.

Bled to death.

Snake bite.

It's done.

[tragic music plays]

[sighs]

[suspenseful music plays]

[door closes]

[Harley] What is this?

Got a report from Chicago

that migrant they picked up

says a man shot at him

as they ran off.

Girl disappeared.

Then I come here.

And this.

Blood on my old mattress.

Hair in the sink.

That man said that in the barn

there was a blue Cadillac.

Where is she, Dad?

You sh**t her,

she's wounded bad,

you bring her in here.

You're scared.

All right, I get it.

And then what?

She bleeds out and dies,

you bury her?

Come on, Dad.

What'd you do with the body?

-You're mistaken.

-[scoffs] Dad.

I've been all over Tommy's,

all over the Milford's.

I know you shot her.

Where is she?

This isn't just about

some missing ill*gal.

This is about you k*lling

somebody, okay?

m*rder. Where is she?

What, you just burn her

like some old cow?

I need you to get off

this property.

Damn it, this is my house too.

I got rights here.

We're going to get to

the bottom of this right now.

All right, all right.

You'll be okay.

-We gotta put her in my truck.

-No, no, no, no.

-She ain't going anywhere.

-Dad, don't be an idiot.

Look at her. She's hurt, okay?

-She might be concussed.

-No, she ain't coming in!

-Dad.

-All right.

-She's hurt. Dad, look at me.

-Okay, no. She ain't coming in.

No, she ain't-- Listen to me!

She ain't going anywhere!

She can barely walk.

She needs to get

to the hospital.

-[Irene groans]

-[Harley] Dad.

[siren wailing]

-Mr. Tidwell?

-Yeah.

I'm Dr. Lim.

Hi.

Irene is stable.

We were able to save

the pregnancy, but it's fragile.

She needs to avoid any further

stress, both physical

or emotional.

We'll keep her at the hospital

probably another day or two.

Does she have somewhere to go

to recuperate

after she leaves the hospital?

Ma'am, we'll be transporting her

to an immigration

holding facility.

She'll be placed under

their medical care.

I'd like to speak to her.

[door opens]

[equipment beeping]

[speaks in Spanish]

My girl.

Doctor says that...

it's a milagro that she live.

She die,

my life no worth nothing.

I go migra.

What if they send you back?

They'll k*ll you.

Better die there with her...

than life here without her.

You tell your son...

I go with him.

I go inmigracin.

[somber music plays]

What happens now?

She'll claim asylum,

most likely.

Judge thinks she has cause,

a full inquiry.

Judge denies her claim, well...

She's within 100 miles

of the border,

been here for less

than two years, so,

qualifies for expedited removal.

She goes home immediately.

Where will she be...

until they, uh...

till they decide?

Holding center in West Texas.

Dilley, maybe out of state.

-In jail, pregnant.

-It's not jail.

She'll get the medical care

she needs.

-It's the best place for her.

-I've seen those places.

It's jail.

What are her chances?

Asylum?

She goes home...

You seen that scar on her chest?

They k*lled their fianc.

Chances are slim.

Victims of criminal as opposed

to political violence...

technically, they don't qualify.

Who is this girl to you that

you're doing all this?

What is she to you?

It is ill*gal to harbor

a non-resident alien.

"Penalties upon conviction

include imprisonment

for five years, criminal fines,

forfeiture of vehicles

and real property used

to commit the crime."

It's the Federal Immigration

and Nationality Act, Section 8.

Dad, you want

to go back to prison?

We can't take everybody.

Well, I don't know

about everybody.

I know her.

Good morning, Mr. Tidwell.

Nice car.

-Mm-mm.

-What happened to the window?

Oh, rock.

Oh, that's a shame.

Easy fix, though.

Where's the truck?

[groans] Alternator died.

All right. We'll be seeing you.

[dramatic music plays]

I'm sorry it took me so long.

[telephone ringing]

[keyboard keys clicking]

-Harley.

-[Eddie] I've been calling.

Sorry,

trying to finish this thing.

[Eddie] Your dad

drove through the checkpoint

half an hour ago.

In an old Cadillac.

That thing doesn't even run.

[Eddie] Does now.

[dramatic music plays]

[equipment beeping]

[whispers] Hey. Hey.

I'm going to take you

to Colorado.

Car's outside.

I'm gonna take you to Colorado.

We have to go now.

Okay? So put these on.

And my son,

he's gonna be here soon.

[sighing deeply]

Doctor say I rest.

My girl need quiet.

She says maybe

I... I can stay here.

No. Oh, no, they're not gonna

let you stay here.

No, they listen.

I-- In the United States,

-they listen me.

-No, no,

they are not gonna listen.

My son,

Border Patrol, migra , right?

He said, he told me.

They will send you back

to El Salvador,

you and your baby.

You will die.

I will drive you to Colorado.

But if we're gonna go,

we gotta go now.

[sighs]

[Harley] Son of a b*tch.

[Harley exhales]

Son of a f*cking b*tch!

[nurse] Can I help you?

Sorry.

Sorry.

This patient

was not to be moved.

Will you, uh, call security,

see if she's still

in the building? [sighs]

[Eddie]

What do you want to do?

You want to call Stacy?

Get a search on?

[Carson] To my son.

You may decide

not to read this letter,

that's your right.

You don't owe me anything.

I just hope you'll understand.

You asked me

what this girl is to me

that I've done all this.

She wasn't anybody,

but she became somebody.

She's my friend.

I can't let her go back

to that country.

Not unless she decides to.

Last thing I want

is to disrespect you

or for you to get in

any trouble on my behalf.

Do what you need to do.

Call who you need to call.

I'll take the consequences.

[sighs]

I looked at a picture

of you tonight.

You and me in our hats,

down at the pens.

Me holding you.

You were maybe four.

We were friends.

I love you, son.

I wouldn't have any other.

You make me proud.

I'm sorry I haven't made

that more abundantly clear.

I'll look forward to seeing

you again soon.

I hope.

Your father, Carson Tidwell.
