"If it's no trouble..." "I think my horse needs water." "Where'd you come from?" "Coahuila..." "What are you doing in Texas, man?" "Looking for work." "What kind of work?" "I'm just a cowboy." "Run, run, Mariana!" "How many calves left?" " 120." "That's a shitload." "When's the boss coming from Houston?" " Saturday afternoon." "Fucking mama's boy." "He says he's a rancher just because they bought him this ranch, but I ain't seen him out here busting his ass." "You're in a twist because the only woman you've had for a while is your own hand." "Let's go to Midland this Saturday." "The Border Patrol will nab me in Midland." "Bullshit." "You scared of women, or what?" "Agustin, shut the goddamn gate!" "You like him?" " It's the best horse I ever saw." "Take him, he's yours." "Yeah, really." "No, really." "It's a gift." "But it's your horse." "Mine, yours... what's the difference?" "He's got "Pete" branded in his brain." "He's yours." "No." "No, he cost you a lot." "Hell, no." "He's yours." "Don't even get off him." "Relax." "The Border Patrol is everywhere." "Where are you going?" " Don't worry." "Where do you think?" "To get the girls." "Hurry up!" "That's Bob's wife from the cafe, right?" "But she's married." " So's the other one." "See you in three hours." "Crazy bitches." "Let's go." "He killed Melquiades Estrada." "The oldest is Elizabeth..." "She must be fourteen." "And Yesenia is probably twelve." "And this little guy is Aaron." "He's going to be a damn good cowboy." "And this..." "This is Evelia..." "Evelia Camargo, my wife." "How long since you've seen them?" "About five years." "Promise me one thing, Pete." "If I die over here, carry me back to my family" "and bury me in my hometown." "I don't want to be buried on this side among all the fucking billboards." "I'll die before you will, I'm older." "Promise me." "Look." "We're here, right?" "Go down to Cjinaga and head south." "Then turn east and follow the sierra until you come to Coahuila." "Then you'll come to a town called El Tostón." "Between El Tostón and El Nacimiento, there's a little place named Jimenez." "It's my home." "Ask for Evelia, my wife, and explain things to her." "I'll just throw you in the trash." " You take me back to Jimenez, Pete." "You promised." "Good morning!" "This way, hurry up!" "Tomás, a rattlesnake!" "It's not gonna bite anybody." "There's a dead guy!" "Get him out." "He's still breathing." " I think the snake bit him." "It sure did." " Is he a gringo?" "He looks too fucked up to be a gringo." "Any money?" "Why bother?" "The venom's probably gone to his brain." "Don't worry." "I'm a friend." "Yes." "Tomás, keep going with them." "I'll take the gringo to get cured." "OK, it's a deal." "Fucking gringo bit me." "Son-of-a-bitch." "Dona Adriana, is Mariana at home?" " Yes, she is." "What's going on?" "Is this the one that got snakebit?" " Yes." "Get this gringo out of here." "He's the one that broke my nose." "You sure?" "Hell yes, he's got a face like a white rat." "He'll probably die." " Let him die." "Please... heal him." "Why?" "Because..." "I need him alive." "Will he get well?" "From the poison, yes, but if he gets gangrene, we'll have to cut his foot off." "Yes?" "Your call is ready." "The gringo asshole woke up." " Yes." "Is there hot coffee?" " Fresh made." "Bring me the pot." "Now we're even, asshole." "You want to help us?" "You want some coffee?" " Yes, sir." "Please." "Come on, come have some coffee with us." "Thanks." "Sit down." "Can you sell us some food?" " Food?" "I'll give you some." "We have fresh meat." "Take what you want." "We had to kill him." "This fucking bear was killing too many goats." "Are we in Coahuila yet?" " Yes, you're right here in Coahuila." "And do you know how to get to El Tostón?" "20 km straight ahead." "When you reach the sierra head south and you'll get there." "What are they saying on the TV?" "Take it." "For your troubles." "How much?" " 20 pesos." "Hey, Maria, do you know a place called Jiménez?" "No, no place." "Manuel?" "Do you know a place called Jiménez?" "A little." "I don't know anyone named Melquiades." "What are you doing with a photo of me and my kids?" "Melquiades gave it to me." "Stop saying these crazy things!" "You'll get me in trouble with my husband Javier Martinez!" "We don't know any Melquiades here." "Senora, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to offend you." "But he was my friend." "Go see Don Casimiro." "He knows everyone who's been through this village." "Maybe he can help you." "I know for sure." "It doesn't exist." "Why?" "Jiménez is one hell of a beautiful place." "It's a little ranch between two hills." "The air is so clear there... you can almost hug the mountains with your arms." "A stream of clear, clean, fresh water bubbles up right out of the rocks." "If you go to Jiménez..." "I swear your heart will break with so much beauty." "This is Jiménez." "Ask Melquiades for forgiveness."
