Somewhere near the border wall
Mexican side
Take your money,
Come on, get out,
Let's ring the bells loud and clear
This house is a fucking American embassy,
Did you hear me, bitch? An American Embassy,
Here, we only speak English,
What an ungrateful Mexico has welcomed you!
Fuck you! You just smoke
my joints and drink my beers
which I buy with my honestly earned wheat,
Honestly?
You're kidding, I hope, You sell drugs to your friends,
I give you credit, In return, you're doing me a favor,
Do not move,
See this beautiful Victorian pram?
You'll take it to David,
and we'll be quits,
This is the way out
to escape,
He is the king of kings, Lord of all,
Our lives are in his hands,
Come back there!
I like your stroller,
I can give you a good price,
It does not interest me,
You and I could do stuff together,
Wouldn't that tell you?
You can't smoke with a baby in your stomach!
He may have three fingers,,,
- Is that what you want ? - No,
So quit smoking,
Did you see how beautiful it is?
It's a vintage pram,
What is that ?
It's not true,,,
I'm hallucinating,,, I don't want it,
Looked ! Have you seen all that blood?
Are you kidding me ?
You want me to go crazy, right?
I'm not responsible,
Fuck you!
- You want it ? - The pram!
Thank you, God bless you !
A problem ?
Assfucked,,,
Sorry,,, Hello,
Haven't you seen this man?
- Please,,, - Hello,
Haven't you seen this boy?
I realize that it's a big cat who walks as best
he can with one eye hanging out of its socket,
I'm freaking out, I watch him,
And there, I wonder:
what does this cat see?
Does he see himself,
or does he think he sees another cat?
We're like that cat,
But we don't know yet,
Hi you,
Are you snooping around in the neighborhood?
It is death that you will find,
These tears will not save you from hell,
And there, you will suffer,
Hi, Nick,
What do you want ?
This is good,
Get high,
Listen,,,
I don't know what you want,
But,,,
I won't be able to help you,
Listen to me carefully,
I'm here for the girl,
The one who lives opposite,
You're going to tell him to get out of Tijuana,
Is that your army knife?
Yes I am,,,
- I'm a marine, - Maybe,
But here you are just Rintintin,
The dog, do you know?
On TV, yes,
Your Rintintin, he had an understudy,
But someday,
he got too old,
So the Americans sold it to Tijuana,
And here he became a porn star,
He saw more asses
than a basin of toilets,
At work, Rintintin,
Hello,
You saw him ?
I do not know him, Sorry,
Thank you,
- Some water, - A bottle,
Are you following me, gringo?
Why would I do that ?
Are you an American soldier?
A marine,
My name is ana,
I am looking for my brother, Ricardo Silva,
An American soldier, too, You know him ?
He lived in your hotel,
He was kicked out a year ago, I
don't know why, he didn't tell me,
Why is your government doing this kind of thing?
He fought for your country
and voila, we send him back to Mexico!
I do not understand,
Listen,,,
Only illegal Mexican immigrants are deported here,
I dunno,,,
I don't mean to minimize, but,,,
Only immigrants,,,
You don't get it,
I am sorry,
But your brother has to get high in a hotel,
It will eventually resurface, That's how it is, Tijuana,
He's not like that,
Can I fix you?
I will help you,
- No need, - I know this town well,
I'll fend for myself,
I doubt, Not in a corner like this,
Here, we are wary of those who come from elsewhere,
Thanks, gringo,
Hi,
I know him,
- It is true ? - Yes,
Look well,
It's him,
I saw it,
- Where ? - Outside,
- Just now ? - Yes,
- Did you just see him? - Two days ago,
Hey, friend!
Man!
- I got lost, - Go away,
It's me, Nick,
Do you remember ? We saw each other at the taco stand,
It's good, you remember,
Show me your face,
Here,
That's it, vomit,
Go ahead,
It's okay, you spat it out,
It will be fine,
- I do not feel good, - Do not worry,
We go,,,
We're going to walk slowly,
Give me your hand,
Are you buying me a flower?
No, Thanks my beauty,
Are you buying me a flower?
For my grandmother, these flowers,
it was the blood of men who died for their country,
She was telling me that,
Thank you,
Get out,
What did you say about the blood?
My grandmother said
that these flowers are red because of the
blood of the men who died for their homeland,
What do you know?
What do you know about it?
You know nothing!
Piss off,
My dog,,,
He lost a tooth the other day,
He looks happy,
No, he looks depressed,
I want to go back home,
I have a van waiting for me,
It is not too late,
Do you really want to go home?
Yes,
Yes really,
I am fed up with this life, Not you ?
God sees us all, He blesses us,
Really ?
I'm telling you, He sees everything,
You will be blessed one day, God will bless you,
God doesn't know where we are,
He takes care of each of us,
- No, not us, He forgot about us, - You believe that ?
I do not agree,
He forgot about us, man,
He wouldn't even locate Tijuana on a map,
- Peace on you, - Watch out,
Roulette, haven't you seen Ana?
Ana?
If you want my opinion, her brother,
it is floating on the canal at the present time,
And she will quickly join him,
You saw it ?
Since you insist, she asked me where the police station was,
Hey, old man!
Hi guy !
You look good!
You know me,,, I manage, as usual,
Ana?
Listen,,,,
- What now ? - Hold on,
I wanted to apologize,
Sorry,
I am a bit crazy, I haven't slept all night,
Except now I have bad news,
It really smells bad,
This is my friend Elan, I present to you Ana,
She's a nice girl, And he is a good guy,
Before he,,,
He was hanging out with Ricardo,
- He knew him, - My brother ?
Since a long time,
Tell him what you told me, Go ahead,
We were in the street,
- He blew his head, - What?
The cartels have not missed it,
I hallucinated,
You have to believe it,
They killed him, it was violent,
- Did you see him, - Definitely,
I wouldn't lie, This is the street,
- Is that sure it was him? - Absolutely,
No doubt,
Are you talking about him?
Exact, We knew each other so well,
He is buried in the mass grave in Tijuana,
I bought flowers for 100 dollars, I decorated everything,
I visited him plenty of times,
They were very connected,
We were really close, both of us,
- You see,,, - I don't trust him,
He's a good guy,
- He looks a bit crazy, - Really crazy,
That's right, he's like that, They all are somewhat,
This guy knows a lot of people,
He did say his body was buried,
So now I have to find his grave,
Two months ago,
I worked there,
In height,
You have to go,
You know that, don't you?
You have to leave Tijuana, Go away tonight,
Why ?
My brother
is not here,
He is not there,
And how do you know that?
Huh, how?
- I feel it, - Ah yes ?
And you hear it too?
Is he talking to you now?
"I am not here !" Is that what he's telling you?
You could help me,
I have friends with whom I would like to communicate,
Friends who died,
They were shredded, hell,
I want to talk to them, Tell me how you do it,
Do you put your ear against the floor?
"I can feel it,,," I wonder what you are feeling,
You have to break, You have to leave Tijuana,
You understand ?
I'm trying to help you,
You have to go,
I can't leave,
The hotel guy,,,
The guy with the tattoos,,,
The tears
that he has on his face,,,
Each tear represents
a dead body,
The men he killed,
The fact that you are a woman,
it does not change anything,
It doesn't change what he can do to you,
You have to go,
You're welcome,
How did you do ? Sorry, I,,,
They're nice, They don't charge us,
- Foot ! - It's frozen,
Why did you come to Tijuana?
I don't know,
Frankly,
We passed this way once with my unit,
It was years ago,
I couldn't believe it,
Bitches,
drug,,,
I watched the guys have a blast,
All,
But not me,
I did nothing, touch nothing,
I said to myself
that one day, if I needed to let go completely,
I would come here,
After my third mission in Iraq,
That's exactly what I did,
I came to Tijuana,
I locked myself in a hotel room,
with a big bag full of heroin
and another filled with meth,
I didn't breathe the air outside for,,,
about two weeks,
I don't know if you can understand that,,,
I liked,
- Leave us alone,,, - You know?
Come,
What's this ?
Take this,
And give me the other hand,
Take it easy, okay?
Take my hand,
One two Three,
Whore,,,
What? Does it stop there, the soldier?
It's so weird,
What is that thing ?
Electricity ?
How much is it ?
- 20 pesos, - I arrive,
You are hungry ?
No, I've got to go,
- Is that so ? - I have things to do,
See you soon, See you,
- Are you okay, Nick? - And you, Roulette?
Quiet,
What do you have for me?
As usual,
I must see Topo,
- You kidding ? - Not at all,
I'm talking to a dead man,
Where are you going, the American?
I need to talk to Topo, He's there ?
Follow me,
Rintintin!
You wanted to see me ?
- Exact, - Oh yeah ?
Come on, I listen to you,
You know, the neighbor, Ana,,,
I thought of a way,,,
Wait for me there,
Asshole!
Follow me, gringo,
I don't know what I'm doing with this girl,
Nor why I am helping him,
It's weird,,,
I told you
to pay him a one-way ticket,
She won't go until,,,
As long as she hasn't found him,
So I had an idea,
We're gonna find him a corpse,
A guy, anyone,
We smash her face so that she doesn't recognize him,
And we say to him: "This guy is your brother,"
It's you we're burning, and we see what's going on,
You messed around, man,
You are going to die, far from home,
That girl, damn,,,
She thinks she can talk to the dead,
This is what she says,
She thinks the dead hear her,
I will provide you with a body,
What's your name ?
I am Pastor Ricardo Silva,
What are you doing here ?
I come to save souls,
You will die,
I am an envoy from Heaven,
If you kill me, you declare war on God,
Do you want to declare war on God?
You know,,,
I thought,,,
that Ricardo may have a girlfriend
and that he's fine,
I have been saying this from the start,
Not really,
He may be happy and in a relationship,
Not just fucking
anything goes,
It's good to stay positive,
You are right,
And you ?
You have a girlfriend ?
More or less,
There is someone,,,
That I like,
What about you ?
I was married,
But he was only working, I found myself alone,
So I kicked him out,
I was not happy,
Nick?
Is it wrong?
Hello, Here is some info on the expelled veterans,
For expelled veterans,
I am waiting for you here, Okay ?
I'm not moving,
- Why ? - You don't need me,
Go ahead,
Sit down there,
- Welcome to the bunker, - Thank you,
Sorry for the mess, We just woke up,
It is not serious,
You can help me ?
I got this flyer, And my brother is a veteran,
Ricardo Silva, You know him ?
Many expelled veterans land here,
A moment, We have our stuff somewhere,
- Ricardo is there? - No, but I have things of his own,
Ah, there it is, "Ricardo Silva",
Is this his business?
Everything is not there but,,,
His rangers,
His dagger,
Full of,,,
books,,,
My brother,
He looks happy,
Where is he ?
Do you know where he is?
It is,,,
Pablo?
Ricardo, he hadn't set up a reintegration camp?
Reintegration?
Near the dam,
He must be there,
Nick, did you hear?
You see where it is ?
Yes, it's on the canal,
Like Ricardo, many of us
have gone through a bad period,
We all did something stupid,
And we were kicked out,
We meet in Tijuana,
We were ready to die for the nation,
In the end, we are thrown away like garbage,
- Nick, - "Always faithful,"
Why did he leave his dagger?
How can we let our dagger,,,
at the bottom of a box?
Maybe he doesn't want us to find him,
Pablo, will you help us?
Are you taking them with the van?
- Are you driving them there? - No problem,
Hi,
- Is that you, Nick? - It's me,
- You're Nick, - Exact,
I am Chiquito, And her, Roxana,
- Where's Ricardo? - He is not there,
I believe the devil took him,
Him over there,,,
He thinks he will come back, Not me,
- He said that? - Yes,
The friend!
Come closer, will you?
We are among friends,
What do you want to know ?
She would like to know if he is alive or if he is dead,
That way, she can go home,
And tell his family
what she discovered,
Come and sit down,
Its good,
We are listening to you,
Three weeks ago,
or a month,,,
Maybe two, I don't know anymore,,,
I went to the canal, with Ricardo,
Like always,
on Sunday,
To convince people to follow us,
Except that that day, the boss of the canal went to see Ricardo,
The man with tattoos
in the face ?
Tears,
He was there in front of me,
And he said
that for each man
that Ricardo would get out of the channel, he would have to donate money,
To compensate for the loss of its customers,
And then,
one morning,
I woke up,
and Ricardo was already gone,
He never came back,
Give thanks to Your soldier Ricardo Silva
who teaches us Your light and Your love,
- You saw ? - Obviously,
It's Ricardo, isn't it?
I am proud,
My brother did not give up the fight,
He has found his way,
He came here, drugged,
But then,
he became a pastor to these people,
Now Ricardo is no longer of this world,
I raise my glass
to Ricardo,
To Ricardo!
Pastor,
To my brother,
My parents are dead
when I was little,
My grandmother
raised us,
An extraordinary woman,
She was tender, affectionate,
She taught me how to heal with plants,
She taught us to be generous,
She was a woman of wisdom,
She would know how to do it,
I thought I would get there,
That I would know what to do,
But I have no fucking idea!
No idea,
Me and my friends,
On patrol,
We were five assholes
trying to forget that our shitty gun
vests wouldn't protect us from three mines
anti-tanks,
That day,
that day, it looked like the ground
had risen,
As if the whole earth
rose,
To swallow us up,
Before we spit out
toward the sky,
Five corpses of marines,
Killed by a fucking $ 10 phone,
I was unable to move,
My face was covered with blood,
But it wasn't mine,
I felt like I heard them,
They were calling,
they were crying,
They were in pain,
I couldn't protect them,
I could not do anything,
Tomorrow,
I'll pick up my things at the hotel,
You can come too,
If you want,
Where ?
Here,
Nick, Joe, Charly, Adrian, Chaz, all clamored!
Come on, let's move,
Are you upset, Nick?
He just told me that a guy he knows told him
something about my brother and the canal,
Really ?
That is to say ?
They advised me to send him there,
since she is looking for him,
Go with her, You have nothing to lose,
Are you okay, Rintintin?
Come in, if you want to see your brother,
He's not my brother,
So you talk to the dead,
Nick?
You didn't lie to me,
It was a good idea,
It was well worth a corpse,
It is true ?
How could you do that?
I trusted you,
You don't touch me, motherfucker!
I know why my brother didn't leave me anything,
He was ashamed,
Shame that I found out what he had done wrong,
Ricardo,
he loved the weak,
This shirt,
it is that of his uniform,
He wore it to
remember who he was,
Not out of pride,
He won't come back,
Kill me and you will rot in hell,
You started this war,
If you kill me
another soldier of God will replace me
and will condemn you to hell,
How are you ?
- You're alive! - Yes thanks,
Take your time,
- Here, - Thank you,
What's your name ?
Pastor Ricardo Silva,
What are you doing?
I come to save souls,
That you refuse to pay,
No one will make me buy these poor people from you,
It's been five years
that I am there,
Five years that I live with these living dead,
In the middle of this giant rotting trash can,
One day the water
will take away our souls,
I know it,
But I am not afraid of the Grim Reaper,
I won't sit at the devil's table
in hell,
You will appreciate,
I bring you back to life,
- What did you do to her, my brother? - Here it is,
I am an envoy from Heaven,
If you kill me
another soldier of god
will replace me,
Kill me and you will rot in hell like you already rot here,
Your last words,
Chiquito,,,
What are you looking for ?
Get out of the way, bunch of dogs!
What do you want ?
Give us back Ana!
Go ahead, kill him!
These tears that are tattooed on my face,
I pour them every day
for your brother,
What have you done with his body?
He's not here anymore,
More there,
Do you think the channel understands pity?
But you can save me,
I know you can save my soul,
Ask him to forgive me,
He must forgive me,
No noise,
They're over there ?
The tattooed one, is he over there?
Sorry,
Rintintin!
I was waiting for you, Rintintin,
Stay with me,
Help !
