[intense music]

[engine turns off]

So, this guy do anything wrong?

- He's here.
- I understand.

But other than that,
is he committing crimes

or is he's been here back home?

You're not getting the point.

Police, open up.

So, why did we bring
so many agents?

We have no idea how violent
these situations can become.

Will all due respect, boss,
he's a farmer with no priors.

[scoffs]
You've been reading
that libtard bullshit?

No, I'm only asking about...

Look, you just bought a house,
right?

Yeah.

So, what, it's okay
they break in

just cause they had no priors?

It's fine they break in just
'cause they clean the kitchen?

Why are they cleaning
my kitchen?

It's a metaphor.

I might let 'em stay
if they're cleaning my kitchen.

You're not getting it.
Why did you sign up?

- To protect my country.
- Yeah?

Stop people from breaking
the law.

Yeah, he's breaking the law.

Right, that's why we're gonna
get him.

Yeah.

[music continues]

Can I help you?

We're police
in pursuit of a criminal.

Could you open the gate, please,
go get the owner?

I am the owner.

And I can talk just fine
from here.

Where're your workers?

I don't know.

Maybe the taco truck showed up.

This is Guillermo Carbajal.
You know him?

He k*ll someone?

Carbajal was found illegally
residing in the US

and was deported back to Mexico.

We have reports
that he has re-entered

and that he's been seen here,
on this property.

Now, I-I've got a warrant.

Cut the bullshit,
open the f*cking gate.

No, sh*t. You have a warrant?

[suspenseful music]

Why don't you cut
the bullshit?

Excuse me.

An "ICE" warrant?

Come on, come back
when you have a real warrant

signed by a real judge.

[grunts]
Who the f*ck do you think
you're talking to, huh?

The dumb f*cking hill-billy

who's going to make my lawyer
a lot of money.

- Boss!
- Not now.

- Boss! The camera.
- Yeah, boss. The camera.

[chuckling]

Not so candid.
Wave "Hi" to the jury members.

And you have my workers
commit any crime

I will call the police myself.

The real police.

Until then, none of you,
including you

aren't going to step a foot
on to my property.

[instrumental music]

[engine starts]

Back in the van!

Jose, come on out.

Okay.

[sighs]

Come on out, it's clear.

'It's okay, it's safe.'

Mario, come on.

'It's okay.'

They're gone.

Thank you.

You guys okay?

You okay?

Let's go back to work, okay?

Yeah? Okay.

Thank you, guys.

[singing in foreign language]

[footsteps approaching]

Your daughter didn't sleep here
last night.

If you care.

Well..

Her keys are still here.

So, she can't be far.

Hey, are you gonna go
to the..

[sighs]

[engine starts]

[sighs]

[mellow music]

Okay.

[keys clacking]

Oh, damn.

[birds chirping]

[mellow music]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

[eyeliner clatters]

[sobbing]

[sniffles]

[Natalia]
'Good morning, Mr. Dalton!'

I gotta run,
I'm running late this morning.

Oh.
I have everything ready for you.

A triple espresso,
cream and three sugars

and then we have some egg
sausage and breakfast burrito.

Mine is better than Starbucks'.

I put some napkins in there.

How in the world did you...

Chris says that's what
you usually pick up in town.

Thank you.

Anything special for lunch?

Oh, don't worry about lunch.

I'm schmoozing this
San Francisco-type.

- f*ck' vegan.
- Oh.

I can do vegan.

Why don't you bring him here?

Then you can smoke a cigar
right after.

I'm startin' to think my son
has a good instinct about women.

Just like his old man.

[instrumental music]

[engine revving]

[sighs]

I always worried
you'd go looking.

'And that what you find
would be..'

...difficult.

All my life,
you kept her story from me.

I barely remember her.

And all I have left
is what's in this box.

I was trying to protect you.

So you knew what I'd find?

I only knew that
it wouldn't be good.

You have to be strong.
Look ahead, not back.

What we want in the past..

...it doesn't
actually exist anymore.

Not the way we wish it did.

[mellow music]

[cow moos]

[machines hissing]

[speaking in foreign language]

No, pa. What about Hassie?

[speaking in foreign language]

Hm?

[machines hissing]

[speaking in foreign language]

[sighs]

[phone chimes]

[pensive music]

[music continues]

[car door closes]

- Yeah?
- You must be Mr. Car-moan.

Karmon.

Hazan is fine.

Hazan it is.
Sawyer Clarkman.

How can I help you?

[groans]

These, uh, pre-revolution?

Hm, is that what brought you
out here?

One day, I was a boy running
around in Iran

'amongst my dozen
aunts and uncles..'

...and the next day..

...I'm here in this country..

...alone.

- Tough time to be Iranian.
- Hm.

Having a little Deja Vuagain
these days.

Hm.

I'm here about your son.

Came to see me yesterday.

His mother used to work for me.

Dalla Uribe?

And he wanted to know
more about her

and his, uh...biological father.

Hm.

I see.

And I do know some things.

- About his father...
- He was a bad man.

That is true.

Paula made sure I knew.

She never wanted the kid
to meet this biological father.

Well, there's little chance of
César showing up now.

She meant you.

[dramatic music]

[sighs]
I'm not going to show you sh*t
without his permission.

Why is it important to you?
I mean, why now?

My father has
been distracted lately

and I need to make sure
that he's thinking clearly.

This about the Holloway deal?

You tell me, Diana.

The Sawyer Clarkman you've
worked for all these years

'he seem like a kind of man
that would pass up'

'an expansion opportunity
like this'

and let a c*cksucker like Miller
railroad his plans?

You're a woman, I'm sure you
know what it feels.

What?

Like you may've gotten passed up
'cause you had a pair of t*ts.

That's why I started
my own firm, dear.

I'm not here
to invoke the 25th.

I just need to know
if he trusts me.

Really trusts me, before I do
what I need to do

in order to protect
what he's built.

I'm sorry, Hunter.

You're wasting your time.
Seriously, go home.

[keyboard keys clacking]

[Hazan]
Are you surprised?

Needed confirmation.

[chuckling]

You promised her the world

'and you get pregnant
and then you ship her off?'

It didn't happen like that.

Oh, yeah. Like, I'm going to
trust what you say.

I didn't even know
she was pregnant.

[sighs]

What do you want? Hm?

Noah's never gonna talk to you
again. Go home to your family.

Everybody deserves to know
where they came from.

You're going to tell him that
you just threw his mother away?

Don't rephrase it like that.

Hm.

What's that going to do for you?
Hm?

[coughs]

What's that gonna do for him?

[Sawyer clears throat]

sh*t.

- Noah! Noah!
- Hey!

Hey, get off my property!

Hey, hey. I'm warning you.
Get off my property.

Dad, dad, wait.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Whoa, whoa! What's wrong?
- I don't know.

- What did you do?
- Nothing.

Do you want me to go call
an ambulance?

Call Sheila.
Stay with me.

Stay with me.
Stay with me.

[tense music]

[sighing]

[keyboard clacking]

Brooks University, huh?
You must be a proud mama.

I am.

It's funny, 'cause Hassie had
Algebra with your Lucy

and I clearly remember her
saying what a dumb sh*t she was.

Diana, you already know
where I'm going with this.

Come on, I did a little digging.

And this is the only proof.

'Without the information
on this drive'

'no one will ever know
the impressive finagling'

'you did of your
daughter's SAT score'

and college transcripts.

No need to get emotional.

Diana, I can keep a secret.
You know that.

I just need the password.

[suspenseful music]

You are your father's daughter.

'You don't need the password.'

[dramatic music]

[sighs]
I gotta say, Miller,
that was damn good.

- My compliments to the chef.
- You like it?

That kale sweet potato hash was
just to die for.

That Bombay burrito..
What'd you put in there?

Just fresh, local

none of that crap you get
in restaurants like soy.

Soy's bad?

Makes men grow breast
and women infertile.

Look it up.

You make this kinda stuff
for Clarkman?

He never really want
to try anything new.

- Another round?
- Yeah.

Perfect.

I'll be back.

Where'd you get her?

Kinda fell into my lap.

She's interesting.
Lot of spirit.

If we're about wrapped up
with Holloway

let's talk about Clarkman

and how we can
collaborate on that.

[chuckling]

Eric?

Yeah, it's a trickier one.

Hm.

It's right between
me and Holloway.

Uh, if I can take it all,
up my supply

'I could put my wine
in every Albertson's.'

It's the American f*ck' dream.

[laughing]

I don't understand
why people want

awards with wine,
I wanna make money, eh?

Why do people want awards?
Thank you.

Can you buy a Ferrari
with awards? No.

- To life.
- To life.

- To money.
- To money.

[laughing]

[cow moos]

[Hassie]
'I can't spend another night
in that house.'

Are you coming?

My parents, they, uh,
they found jobs. So..

Isn't that good?

I don't know what this new place
is gonna be like for them.

I don't, I don't want to be
too far from them, you know?

Are you saying what I think
you're saying?

[sighs]

Can we just give it a few days?
Talk this out a bit?

Sounds like you've already made
your decision.

[mellow music]

[sighs]

I want to hear it.

Even if it's worse?

So, there is something.

You have lied to me my whole
life. How are you any better?

He's awake, stable.

What was it?

I'm not at liberty.
Doctor-patient and all that.

Sh-should we call his wife?

He insisted we not do that.

I want him to rest.

But he also insisted
on speaking with you.

I meant your dad.

[knocking]

Hey.

You're pretty scrappy
for a little guy.

Is that your way of
getting on my good side?

Have a seat.

It's my house, my rules.
I'll stand.

Fair enough.

[mellow music]

How's Paula?

I don't know.

Haven't talked to her
in about ten years.

But the boy is still here?

Hm.

She was gearing up to cross back
over the border.

We were talking regularly.

And last she told me

'that she was on her way'

and then..

...silence.

I fear the worst.

I remember she mentioned an..

...aunt in Oaxaca.

Probably dead now, too.

You're Noah's father.

He doesn't need
another old man.

He got lucky, I screwed
all my kids plenty.

Soon, I won't be
anyone's old man.

No.

[scoffs]

[chuckles]

Marina Cassarubias.

That's, uh..

[indistinct]
...used to say her aunt's name.

Marina Cassarubias.

[chuckles]

Anyway..

If the boy has questions,
let him ask.

The one thing I can give him
is answers.

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

Hm.

It was nice having some women
in this house again.

[chuckles]

Was it tough?

The divorce.

It was tough on Chris.

She sure enjoyed
the finer things.

Oh, yeah, Jen never took
to life out here, city girl.

Why do you think we bought
this ridiculous house?

I better get going.

She didn't try to take it?

The house?

Oh! That's what lawyers are for.

Thank God for prenups.

You like your lawyer?

Well, he's a f*cking weasel.

Pardon my French,
and an expensive one.

But that's why he's good
at his job.

Well, it's nice to see you can
laugh about your troubles.

That's one way to put it.

See you.

I couldn't help
but overhear you earlier

talking about
Mr. Clarkman's land.

Is your lawyer good
with estate law?

Look, I appreciate
the conversation

but we're going to have to
establish some boundaries.

What about if I told you that
Luke Clarkman has a widow..

...and that she might be happy
to sell off whatever property

she's entitled to?

You drink scotch?

Let's get a glass,
talk about this thing.

So, uh, you're my father?

Your father is the man
on the other side of that door.

I'm your blood.

See, my daughter,
she's the eldest, she's adopted.

No one but me is her father.

I can't say I did a great job,
she's a piece of work.

But I did better
than the previous guy.

Um..

So, uh.. Ahem.

...what happened?

Your mother, she's the best
thing that ever happened to me.

I f*cked it up.

We were both in crappy marriages
we didn't want to be in.

We found each other,
we fell in love and..

You know..

And I chose to stick
with my kids

'cause it seemed like
the right thing at the time.

And I didn't know anything
about you until now.

So, what I hope you can
take away from this is that..

...you were born
out of something real.

[instrumental music]

Honest and true.

Benicio, my friend, it's Hazan.

Yes, a very long time.

Good, good, and yours?

Good, glad to hear.

I-I have a random question
for you.

Do you still have family
in Oaxaca?

Well, this-this
may be a longshot

but I'm looking for a woman
named Marina Cassarubias.

[pensive music]

[speaking in foreign language]

You were capable of lying to
make sure you were safe.

This is gonna make
our life better.

No.

No. Stop.

[speaking in foreign language]

Our lives are fine as they are.

[mellow music]

"Fine as they are?"

This is all you want?

[sobbing]

[music continues]

[speaking in foreign language]

- You alright?
- Yeah, think I'm fine.

Look, I don't wanna tell you
I told you so.

"He's just a farmer,
with no priors."

Uh, just a sh*t ton of child
support he hasn't paid. Alright.

Uh, you guys take yours back
and get him booked.

Me and the rookie will take
these and go get

those last few handovers
up in Sonoma.

Me and the rookie
can handle that.

What do you mean, "Handovers?"

Voluntary deportations.

Come on, Petraki.

Let's go.

[speaking in foreign language]

- Hmm!
- Ah-ah.

[sighs]

[speaking in foreign language]

[bell tolling in distance]

[phone vibrates]

- Hello?
- 'Hi, ma'am.'

'This is Agent Quinn
with the immigration.'

'Can you please
open the gate?'

Um..

Could you, could you
come back next week?

[Quinn]
'I'm sorry, ma'am,
end of the month.'

'You know how these things go.'

My-my husband usually handles
these sort of things

and he is not here right now.

[Quinn]
'Ma'am, I have a warrant.'

'I'm just being polite
right now.'

[sighs]

[keypad clacking]

[footsteps]

[breathing heavily]

How was the weekend?

Where are you off to?

I never felt like
I belonged here.

Not like he did.

[sighs]

So, you're gonna run away,
and then what?

'What you gonna find out
there, hm?'

Something real.

Well, I can't wait to see
how that turns out.

I'll see you
in a couple of weeks.

Hunter, what happened to you..

...was terrible.

You were a kid.

[mellow music]

It'll be different for me.

Things are gonna be different.

Here, I'm going
to change things.

If anybody can fix this place,
it's you.

Tell him, I'm sorry.

[sighs]

Tell them.

Hass.

It was an accident.

[exhales deeply]

I was scared the Dreamer Act
was never going to pass

and that I'd be stuck

waiting for them to come for me.

Luke offered.

We went to Sacramento
without letting anyone know

except for a select few

who could vouch for us

for inspections.

He took care of everything.

Such a shame about Luke.

Can't imagine.

But this, wow.

So, what do you think?

I'm gonna call
my lawyer Steve now.

[speaking in foreign language]

- Mr. Morales?
- Yes?

I have a judicial warrant here
for Ismael Morales.

Is he on the premises?

Uh..

I don't know where he is.

You know,
when we get a warrant

and don't execute that warrant

I'm the one who's gonna answer
for it, you know that?

Well, uh. I'm sorry, but, um...

Can we come in, please?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Thank you.

Where are your papers,
Mr. Morales?

You know..

I-I should call Mr. Clarkman.

He-he's the owner.

'He'll settle this.'

Everything's going to be fine.
Don't worry.

- Hm.
- Okay?

[line ringing]

How about you, ma'am?

Where are your work papers?

Uh..

[speaking in foreign language]

Sounds like she doesn't have
any either.

Cuff 'em.

- Ma'am?
- Hey!

Get away from her,
what you're doing?

- Let's go.
- Hold on.

- Hey!
- Move out.

- No, no..
- Out! Let's go. Out!

Move!

[speaking in foreign language]

I said move, you f*cking b*tch!

Don't you dare touch her
like that. Ah!

[screams]

[grunts]

It was a stupid move, blockhead.

[grunts]

[grunts]

No!

[tense music]

[grunting]

[speaking in foreign language]

Leave him alone,
you f*cking son-of-a-b*tch.

[grunts]

Mael!

How dare you touch my parents?

Stop! Stop!

Mael!

- Mael!
- You're the criminal here!

Stop!

f*cking.. You don't f*cking
touch my family.

f*ck you. Get the f*ck off him,
you f*cking piece of sh*t!

- Mael! Mael!
- Get off!

Get your hands behind your back.

Ma! Ma! f*ck..

Get your f*cking
hands off me.

Let go!

Boss, you alright?

Alright.

f*ck you, you f*ck!

Let go of my parents. Ah!

[indistinct yelling]

[Mael screaming]

- Boss, we got 'em.
- Back off.

Son!

You f*cking strike an officer?

[grunts]

- Mael!
- Ah!

[indistinct yelling]

Boss, leave him.

[screaming]

Stop!

Stop! Will you stop?

Leave him, boss, leave him.

Move away from him.

Hassie, Hassie, no.

Move away from him, now!

You're not gonna sh**t me,
sweetheart.

I'm a government agent.

Hassie, put, put it down.

[spits]

Ma'am, please put the g*n down.

Hassie..

Hassie.

Hassie, put it down.

- Ah!
- Oh, God!

No!

[shuddering]

I told you to f*cking stop.
