"Take it, man!" "Come on!" "Juanito always loved me more than you, homes." "Ç Tu te creias muy chingon!" "You were always too much of a badass to love the little vato!" "Just like you are now." "So much of a fucking badass you kill your own people!" "No!" "Don't you ever say that to me again, Cruzito." "I let you say that once..." "¿Que, puto?" "What the fuck?" "You gonna kick my ass?" "Well, ç caiga!" "Let's get down." " Come on!" "You the badass!" " I don't wanna fight with you, little brother." "To what, bust me?" "Well, come on, gabacho." "You the law." "Do your job." "Do your fucking job!" "Look at this." "Look at that." "Must be from Quentin, huh?" " Hey." "Hey, he's the guy..." " PCP bust." "That's Popeye Savedra." "Miklo's connected to him." ""La Onda a toda madre o un desmadre. "" "What's "Onda"?" "No, La Onda." "It's your destiny, man." "It's..." "It's like a wave nothing can stop." "Uh, "madre" means mother." "So..." "No, no, it's a lot more complicated than that." "This is some heavy shit, all right? "A toda madre"." "Everything is perfect." "It's like... your mother's love." "And "un desmadre"... is like you have no mother." "It's absolute hatred." "Complete destruction." "In other words, you win it all or lose everything." "Sweet bunch of guys." "This big fat pig, Popeye, right here in the center?" "He's gotta be their leader." " Hey, Aguilar?" " Look at the way they're all grouped around him." "Hey, Aguilar, that con you blasted just got outta surgery." "He's gonna be a whole lot easier to catch from now on." "Nurse, could you give me a minute, please?" "Nurse?" "Por la Virgen, Miklo, I did not know that it would..." "Don't talk to me about the Virgen." "Vatos Locos forever." "That all died when you pulled the trigger." "How did everything get so fucked up, man?" "The pinche badge, ese." "You owe me, vendido!" "Who's the sellout?" "You're tellin' me you're workin' hard, goin' straight." "The next thing I know, you're pointing' a.357 at me... and there's two guys dead on the ground." "I would have given you anything, Miklo." "But you can't just take away what I am." "You chose the wrong side, ese." "There's too many of us." "You're gonna lose." "No, uh-uh." "I don't forget where I come from or who I am." "That's what keeps me goin' every day." " You don't wanna hear the truth, Paco." " What truth?" "This?" "La Onda." "Is this your truth?" "Two-bit punks like Popeye Savedra with their PCPlabs?" "Or you, robbing Zody's and killing innocent people?" "If that's your truth, then you're right." "I don't wanna hear it." "Get out, puto!" "You're not my blood!" "I'm cutting you off like they did my leg." "You don't exist for me anymore." "[Inmate] Miklo!" "Orale, carnalito." "What's up, ese?" "You're looking good, homey." "[Inmates Whistling, Shouting Indistinctly]" " [Banging]" " Hey, Hopalong!" "You better tell Carlos he better stop fucking with my business!" "Pockets, not in public!" "[Pockets] I ain't gonna let no junkie rip-off my customers!" "[Guard] Velka, time to lock up!" "Mira, mira." "It's the Bionic Man." "[Miklo] Hey, Carlos, what's with the B.G.A.?" "Pay no mind to cheap conversation." "They're just sore losers, ese." " They're just flapping their crow wings." " Pockets is on the warpath." "I can't help it if the customers know where the quality is." "He's been selling 'em baby powder." "I don't have all day, man." "Let's take it in." "Hey, Majito." "Gonna be cellies, huh?" " Orale." " [Guard] Move over here." "Let me get these cuffs." "Ç Orale!" "That's a badass pano, homeboy." "You been burnin' them quills, huh?" " You're getting good." " It's yours." "My "Home Sweet Home" picture, huh?" "At least this bum leg got me something." "I get to work at the law library." "What's all that mad-dogging between Carlos and the B.G.A.?" "The vato's got one sweet cocaine connection." "Hmm." "And he's moving in on Pockets' customers." "How did he connect?" "Nobody knows." "But it's dynamite shit." "Pure Bolivian flake." "And Montana, he just stood by and watched Carlos jump in?" "Plata talks." "Carlos is recruiting lots of soldiers... and buying influence on the council to try to neutralize Montana." "Says it's his own personal trip, not Onda's!" "That's bullshit!" "Personal trips is what's fucking Onda up!" "[Groaning] I saw that out on the streets." "We're cutting our own throats." "It's too soon to be walking on it." "It's a long way up." "But there's no way they're gonna stick me down there on the first tier without... ah, my carnales." "Ah!" "Your own cousin did that." " We should put a hit on that puto." " No, he's mine." "His payback's gonna take time." "I'm gonna make him sorry he ever fucked with my business." "Hey, puto." "What the fuck do you think you're doing, chorizo?" "Trying to jump-start your memory, punk." "Turn your ass around." "Where the fuck is Popeye Savedra?" "I ain't seen the vato." "He took off." "Yeah?" "Right after Zody's, right?" "You were in on that too, weren't you, Smokey?" " How 'bout these putos?" "You know 'em, don't you?" " No." "No way." "La Onda?" "Isn't that what that snake tattoo means?" "Isn't that what that snake tattoo means?" "I don't know what the fuck you're talkin' about, ese." "I'll tell you what I'm talking about, pendejo." "You're a two-time loser, Smokey." "One more, they're gonna lock you up for good." "So you better tell me about Onda, or I'm gonna strap you down with a bitch." "You'll never see the streets again!" "If I say anything, I'm dead meat." "I ain't gonna tell you shit, ese!" "[Grunts]" "It's baby powder, baboso!" "You write down every word I say." "Anything you don't understand, you ask." "I will answer just once, so write it down." "Precedents for habeas corpus, cruel and unusual punishment here." "You're also allowed to help on Durham decree." "How much can you charge for this?" "You gotta know what you're talkin' about first." "You do your homework, jailhouse lawyer... can make as much as any mid-level attorney on the street." "I'm gonna live in here." " Jerry, I don't mean to be nosy, but I..." " Then don't be." "All right, what?" "What is it?" "I'm just wonderin', uh..." "You own all those hardware stores." "How come you're in here?" "Eleven tons of Colombian weed, twelve keys of heroin... and a pilot that turned state's evidence." "Ç Chingao!" "Big time." " Hey, Jer, I just want you to handle my ca..." " Hurry up, Jerry." "Charlie." "I didn't see your jacket here." "You got an appointment?" "The name's Carlos." "Remember, I'm paying you lot of feria, ese." " Make an appointment, Charlie." " You should be working on my case overtime." "Charlie, cool out or get out." "George?" "Table." "Oye, Miklo." "You could take your leg off and hook down some of the books from up top, ese." "Hey, I'm just kidding, ese." "Come here." "Oye, come here, man." "Hey, relax." "I got the medicine to make you well, vato." "Mira." "If you're ever in any pain, homey, you just come talk to me. ¿Me entiendes?" " You should talk to El Mero Mero." " Chale." "Think about the future, not the past." "Montana's not God." "[Carlos] Tomorrow at the council I'm giving Onda a chance to move into the driver's seat." "Don't be left behind, eh?" "Mira." "I cut a sweet deal with the AV-ers." "They'll supply me with all the dope I can move... just as long as I sell only to the blacks and the browns." "What do you have to give in return to the polar bears?" "I gotta plug up the B.G.A. Pipeline." "Take 'em outta the dope business." "It's simple." "Me and my soldados can take care of Pockets in here." "My brother Smokey can take out Cheap Times, their main supply joint in L.A." "All I need from the council is backup." " In return, I'm prepared to give Onda a third of my profit." " It's a sucker's deal, ese." "The only thing the Aryans want is to start a war between black and brown." "Chale." "We've got a truce with the B.G.A." "Why do you wanna play the chimp with these mayates?" "The market is there." "Cocaine is America's cup of coffee." "Oye, check it out." "I'm making so much feria right now, it's making Miklo's gambling book look like bubble gum change!" "We don't start wars to become dope pushers." "You even addicted some of our own soldados to coca." "We're supposed to protect our people, not destroy them." "Look at his arms." "He loves that shit more than he loves us." " He'll destroy La Onda." " Ç Ya!" "Enough words." "We've come all this way." "You wanna go back to bumming cigarettes, ese?" " Oye, you wanna shine shoes?" " Ese, La Onda don't shine shoes." "That's right, but that's what's gonna happen if we don't make our move now." "I wanna own the whole fuckin' store!" "Now are you with me?" "I say chale." "You're not the leader here." "I say Onda's not with you." "You do what you have to do without us." "'Cause I ain't goin' back." "I don't need Onda for this." "Money buys my backup." "I'll get the polar bears to back my play." " Oye, ¿adonde vas, Jose?" " I split, eh." " Hey, carnal." " No, ese." "Carlos, come back!" "Jefe, we can't let him go." "We can't let him split up Onda." "Carlos!" "[Jerry] Can't you see Montana's stupid for letting Charlie walk?" " Onda's committing suicide." " Fuck you, Jerry!" "Fine." "I thought you wanted to learn something." "Listen, Charlie's a businessman." "He broke some serious business rules." "Not only did he get strung out on his own shit, but he moved on B.G.A. Clients when he didn't have to." " Is that right?" " Yeah, that's right." "I see the jackets of most of the cons that come in here." "Eighty percent of them..." "eighty percent of them are drug cases." "You know why?" "Because everybody out there's doin' it." "Doctors, lawyers, housewives." "Cocaine is America's cup of coffee." "You were Carlos' connection." "He said the same "cup of coffee"line exactly." "You were supplying him." "You're pissed 'cause he's doing business with AV-ers now." "Last year, California passed a flat-time law for drug offenders." "You know what that means?" "That means they have it worse than anybody... murderers, rapists, anybody." "There's no parole, no good time." "That's a lot of guys that are gonna be here for a real long time, all drug users." "Can you see the potential?" " Can you?" " Yeah." "Anyone who can accommodate that appetite... can control this joint and every other joint." "Dwell on it." "[Lightning] Drive it." "Drive it, Ryder." "Here's your pill briefs." "Jerry said it will take at least three months for the court to respond." "Well, well, well, Lightning." "Our favorite spic lover has come home." "I knew he'd be back." "Here's your file." "Magic said to remind you about Lightning's account." "It's overdue." "You hear that, Lightning?" "The cripple here wants to collect your gambling debts." "Yeah, well, I might think about it, if he'll show me his falsie." "Come on, cripple, show me your stump." "[Ryder] Little white Mexican boy... came all the way back just to show us his stump." " Hold his fuckin' leg!" "Come on." "Stand still." " Get off me, motherfuckers!" "Too many britches on." "Stay still, goddamn it, I said!" "You gotta be crazy to pull this shit, Lightning!" "Ooh, I'm scared, punk." "I'll bet you didn't fight so hard when Big Al used to do this, did you?" "He must be laughin' in his grave, cripple." "Get off, you fuck..." "No, leave it alone!" "Stay still, goddamn it." " Oh!" "There she is." " Fucking puto!" "You ever heard that old saying, "Put your foot in your mouth"?" "Spit-shine that shoe, boy." " You fuckin' polar bears are gonna pay, believe me!" " [Ryder Spits]" "Look around you, half-breed." "Onda's finished!" "Carlos works for us now, and every day he brings more Onda soldiers with him." "You greasers better wise up." "It's a white world." "The coloreds are here to serve us." "From now on, you're gonna be my personal errand boy." " You motherfucker!" " Fuckin' punk!" "Go out for a pass, cripple." "Come on, go deep." "[Laughter]" "Now you're back to your true nature, boy." " Crawling on your belly like a worm." " [Laughter]" "They put it in my face!" "You have to understand." "Your leg is gone, Miklo." "You can no longer be a soldier." "That's why I put you in the library." "It's not what they did to me." "They got no respect for Onda." "We should never have given up Carlos." "You think I wanted to?" "Carlos fucked up, bad!" "I'm not saying he didn't, but he was right about the drugs." "Whoever controls them controls everything." "You ever seen an old drug dealer, Miklo?" "They don't exist." "Look, all we have to do is wait." "In five years, Chicanos are gonna be the majority in the pintas in the Southwest." "This is now, not five years from now!" "What good is it if we're a bunch of fuckin' slaves workin' for the B.G.A. And AV-ers?" "We gotta attack now!" "We gotta take power!" "All we ever been doing is fighting each other!" "And for what?" "The best of us ending up in pools of blood... for a pinche pack of smokes and a snort of coca!" "Ç Chale!" "I don't know where you're comin' from, bro." "¿Que es eso?" "A Chicana from Cal State got them to publish my essay on prison reform." "They want me to write a book on the Chicano in prison." "You better lift your eyes outta this book, Jefe." "You better see what's goin' on around us now." "Wind it up, gentlemen." "Take it to your houses." "Let's go, move it." "[Magic] Hey, Bonafide!" "When's the B.G.A. Gonna take care of its tab?" "No can do, carnal." "Quarter of the bill I can take care of, maybe." "Indugu." "You forgot your comb, man." "Maybe." "Thinks he's getting away with something." "He's holding on to a fairy tale." " Ç Pinche mayate!" " Hey, Magic." "Help me out." "[Indistinct Chatter]" "[Inmate] You mad-dog me, you better watch your back, homes!" "Now the fuckin' AV-ers won't pay on their bets either." "Why pay?" "They were testing us with Carlos and we folded." "Now they're gonna take us apart piece by piece." "Whether we like it or not, the dope business is where it's at, Magic." "If the AV-ers and the BGA-ers control it, they control everything, including us." "Fuckin' A, ese." "Carlitos was right." "No, he was stupid..." "for sellin' out to the AV-ers." "Onda should take the money left in the gambling book and make a buy." "Yeah." "I know a connection." " But the council won't approve it." " We should do it anyway." " You wanna die, ese?" " If I have to, I will!" "I lost my fucking leg, my family back home." "This is all I got left." "If we don't do something now, Onda dies." "Do you want that?" "Magic." "I love Montana too." "But I'm not gonna stand by and watch them destroy us." "Will you stand with me, carnal?" "[Miklo] Right now there's only two of us, so we gotta lay back and wait for an opening." "The Aryan Vanguard's gonna force Carlos to make his move soon on the B.G.A." "His first target will be Pockets." "I told you to stop branching', punk!" "Better watch your back 'cause I'm gonna ride you." "Orale, ese." "You're right." "I don't want any trouble." "I've changed my ways." "Now I'm takin' all your customers." "Say anything and you're dead!" "[Miklo] At the same time he hits Pockets, his brother Smokey will move on Cheap Times, the B.G.A. 's drugstore down in L.A." "*Hey, hey, hey, hey" "*She's a super freak Super freak" " She's su..." " [Indistinct Shout]" "Brought you monkeys some coconuts... from Quentin!" "[Screaming, Shouting]" "[Miklo] The only problem is, Carlos is so strung out... he can't see the wolf in the henhouse." "If I know Red Ryder, as soon as Carlos does the AV-ers'dirty work, they'll pull his protection, and it'll be open season on Carlos Zuniga." "[Geronimo] Carlos!" "No!" "[Indistinct Shouting]" " [Whistles Blowing] - [Miklo] If I'm right, all hell's gonna break loose." "That's our chance, Magic." "Where there's war, there's opportunity." "What we gotta do is wake Montana up and move Onda into power." "No, listen!" "Before we fuck up everything we built, I have to have a meeting with the B.G.A." " Ç Vamos ahorita!" " Ç Chingao!" "We're making a horrible mistake." "Can't you understand that?" " Are you blind or what?" " Wait a minute!" "I said I want you ready!" "I'm not gonna waste the lives of our soldados for nothing!" "First we talk." "We fight only if we have to!" " The time to strike is now!" "We wait, they'll destroy us!" " No, Magic!" "We gotta back El Mero Mero." "If he says meet with the B.G.A., we gotta do it." "What are you talkin' about?" "If we stand by, we're gonna watch Onda go down in flames!" "Magic!" "I want you to hit Smokey." "I want him dead by tomorrow." " Orale." " And you set up a meeting with Bonafide." " Simon, Jefe." " [Montana] Geronimo, dile a tus soldados que se calmen." "Yo." "Thought I was off your list, ese." "No, Smokes." "We straight." "That heist was the huevo's fuckup." " So, what do you want?" " Think you can move 300?" "Easy as mantequilla on a hot tortilla." "Mira." "Go make yourself some planta." "Orale." "Gracias, carnal." "Por nada." "I owe you." "[Groans]" "Motherfucker!" "[Shouts In Spanish] Get him around the park!" "Three more California prison inmates have been killed in gang violence, bringing the tally of fatalities this week to eleven." "Aguilar!" "Aguilar." "Hey, chorizo." "You still want Popeye Savedra?" " Zuniga?" " They got a hit on me." "I need protection or I'm dead." "Listen, Smokey." "If you want protection, you're gonna have to give me more than Popeye." "I want everything on Onda." "Who they are and where they are." "Hey, no way." "Forget about it." "Hey, don't talk shit, Smokey." "You stay out there alone, you're dead." "You said so yourself." "All right." "All right!" "I'll give it to you." "The whole layout." "Capitanes, soldados." " But I gotta be outta state first." " We'll talk about it." " Where can we meet?" " St. Mary's Church, Fourth and Chicago." " I know it." " Be there in 15 minutes, chorizo, or forget about it." "I'll be there." "[Door Opening]" "[Children Giggling, Whispering]" "[Captain] Aguilar?" "This is Lieutenant Ivan Burnett." "He's from San Quentin." " Detective Paco Aguilar." "How ya doin'?" "Yeah." " This the victim?" "Paco, we just heard from Sacramento." "We are to "cooperate" with Corrections on this." "That means Burnett's bringing down his entire team." " What does that mean?" "I'm out of it?" " You heard me." "Well, this is bullshit, Captain." "Come on, I've been working on this case for months." "This vato was about to give me the full lowdown on Onda." "What do you know about Onda?" "I had a run-in with a couple of these guys here." " The whole council." "Captain, I'll need this picture." " Fine." " My chief investigator will debrief him tomorrow." " [Paco] Wait a minute, man." "That's my evidence." "This is an East L.A. Case." "Look, I appreciate your interest, but this is much bigger than East L.A." "Things are poppin' up all over the state." "You hear about the grenade... that was thrown into the Cheap Times Social Club in Wilmington last night?" "I'm betting that Zuniga here was the quarterback." "Part of a plot started by his brother in Quentin." "It all comes outta Q." "All right, all right, Lieutenant." "Let's get inside." "This is happening here, not in San Quentin." "It's all tied up to prison gangs now." "It's very complicated." "That's why we're takin' over." "Do you speak Spanish?" "You ever been in a street gang?" "No, but my warden has and he's Chicano." "Well, is your warden related to someone on the Onda council?" "Miklo Velka is my..." "is my cousin." "I am related to him by blood and by this." "Look, Lieutenant, I don't mean any disrespect, but I think I can get further on this thing than you can." "All I'm asking is that I'm involved." "Thank you." "There is no war here, Bonafide." "This was a personal thing between Carlos and Pockets." "Carlos and Pockets were loose cannons." "That was business." "But what you all did in L.A. Night before last was bullshit." "There's gonna be more blood on blades than broken bones... 'cause we ain't letting' y'all hit us in the back no more." "You wanna powwow?" "You wanna talk?" "Go ahead, talk." "Onda had nothing to do with Cheap Times." "Carlos' brother, Smokey, acted on his orders, not Onda's, and he's paid the price with his life." "Cheap Times make for cheap lives." "Lots of'em." "You want a war?" "We're ready." "Believe me, we'll win." "We've got more soldiers and they'll go all the way... to the death if they have to." "I got soldiers." "My soldiers are ready to die." "We can prove that." "Is that what you want?" "I guarantee that's what the Aryans want." "We can stop the killing now, you and me, right here." "Now your word means something here." "What about Folsom and Chino?" " I speak for them too." " Uh-uh." "Maybe for Soto at Folsom, but your word ain't reaching' to Chino right now." "Mosca Lopez is crazy." "I done lost three people down there." "I can ask the warden for a temporary transfer." " He might agree if you guarantee peace while I'm gone." " Fuck a truce!" " We cannot..." " [Indistinct Remark]" "[Murmuring]" "Man, you got five days." "[Bonafide] I'm gonna hold my side up for five days, man." "Five days." "Miklo will coordinate Onda business in my absence." "You can trust he'll make sure nothing happens while I'm away." "So do we have a truce?" " Right on." " Well, well, well." "Wetbacks and Bonafide porch monkeys holding' hands." "[AV-ers Laugh]" "You now have a combined I.Q. Of two." "You're a dead man, Wonder Bread!" "Why don't you kiss my enriched white ass, motherfucker?" "This here's my coon dog." "Get them coons, boy." "[Barking]" "Hey, Ryder!" "What's goin' on?" "Don't ask me what's goin' on!" "Ask, "What are we doin' here?" "Is there a war?"" "[Ryder] Run 'em outta the goddamn banks!" "Save the taxpayers some money!" "All right, gentlemen, let's clear the yard!" "[Ryder] It's between the niggers and the spics!" "We're white, white, white, you motherfuckers!" "[Miklo] Jefe, will Bonafide listen to me?" "Magic and the others are warriors." "If I put one of them in charge, Bonafide would never trust me." "You're a jailhouse lawyer, a counselor." " He knows you'll follow my wishes." " But what if he's lying?" "What if the B.G.A. Doesn't want peace?" "Nobody in here knows what peace is." "They've never had it." "I'm talking about power, carnal." "The only way for us to gain real power is for black and brown to come together." "¿Me entiendes?" "[Paco] Huh." "And I thought Popeye Savedra was the leader of Onda." "It's hard to buy it's that little guy down there." "You better believe it." "He's got what you call "charisma."" "You really think he can do something to stop the violence?" "Montana's got something that makes you wanna listen to him." "He's got a lot of heart." "If anybody can stop this war, it's him." "I can always bring in the guns, but I'd rather it be him." "I don't like you traveling alone." "I don't trust the administration." "I don't trust anybody." "Don't worry." "The warden's guaranteeing my passage." "Top secret route." "Oye." "I made a deal with the vato." "I get to spend the night in Delano, see my daughter." "After 14 years." "Can you believe it?" "Come on, Segura." "Move it." "Jefe." "Huacha." "You tell those vatos... to find some shade and chill out 'til I get back, eh?" "You got it." "[Montana] What time's my daughter coming?" "She'll be here about 7:00 sharp." " We'll rack you at 6:00 tomorrow for a shower." " I'll be waiting." " Psst!" "Name's Wallace." " Montana." "Say, amigo, you ain't got no street smokes, do ya?" "This state tobacco, man, it'll kill ya." "I don't smoke." "You don't smoke, huh?" "Man, I can't wait for these son-of-a-bitches to let me outta here... so I can find me a field crew." "Do me some pickin' so I can send my old lady some money back in Louisiana." " Yeah, I used to pick a little when I was a kid." " Huh." "Me, I been followin' this crop all my life." "If it ain't that, I takes me a little drink." "If it ain't that, they got me behind bars tryin'to dry out." "You ever pick any grapes, Wallace?" "[Laughing]" "No, I ain't never picked no grapes." "But I done cut me a bunch." "Yeah." " Here." " Oh, man, thank you." "Is it..." "Say, amigo, d-do you mind any if I have two?" " Ah, keep the pack." "They're only for trade." " Oh, man." "[Guard] Lights out." "You know, when I was a kid, I used to love to pick." "Nothing like fresh vegetables and fruit right from the vine." "Yeah." "Hmm." "Okay, the escort's on his way." "You'll have one hour with your father." " Let's go." " I'd like a couple of seconds to straighten up." "I don't care who you are in San Quentin." "You're nobody here in Kern County." "Look, officer." "I haven't seen my daughter in 14 years." "Could I just take a couple of seconds to straighten up?" "Please?" "I'm gonna put your daughter in the visiting room." "You've got one hour." "The clock is ticking." "One hour." "Be right back." "Mornin', Montana." "Morning, Wallace." "See they bothering' with ya early in the mornin', huh?" "No." "It's a good day." "I'm not gonna let anything ruin it." "Aaah!" "Ooh, them damn short-handle holes!" "Yeah, I used to feel those myself." "Oh..." "Oh!" "Here, amigo." "Why don't you use this?" "Yeah, well, I'll hold it for you." "Thank you." "Yeah, chingo de tiempo since I felt this good." "My daughter's coming today." "Mi hijita." " Oh, man, today is gonna be such a good day for you." " Yeah." "Your daughter's gonna be so proud of you." " There." " [Grunts]" " Uh-huh." " [Gasps]" "Now this is what they call "a change of plans."" "For Cheap Times!" "For Cheap Times!" " [Gasping]" " Son-of-a-bitch!" "Motherfucker, think you can blow up my brother!" "Uh-uh!" " Daaah!" " You can go join your maker now." "For what falls to the floor is his." "[Groaning]" "Don't forget your smokes." "[Gasping]" "[Guttural Cry]" "[Indistinct Shouting]" " You want a war?" "I'll give you a fuckin' war!" " No!" "Stop him!" "No!"

"And I want mi familia to stay that way too!" "We gotta plan like men, not get shot down like dogs!" "Wait and be ready, Magic!" "Again." "How'd you know he was in Delano?" "How'd you know the head of La Onda was there?" "Man, I do not give a good goddamn... who that taco-eatin' motherfucker was." "Oh, who that taco-eatin' motherfucker was!" " Do you know who you killed, asshole?" " Your mama!" " We're gonna stay here all day until you..." " [Warden] He won't crack." "Nope." "He's been in for 30 years." "He's as tough as three-inch steel." " [Knocking]" " When I get back, I'm gonna bust your ass." "I'll be here." "Come in here." "Yeah, that's the man." "That's the one who ordered it." "Bring him in here." " Tell him what you told me." " I didn't order no hit on nobody." "That'd be like throwin' gasoline on fire right now." "Don't bullshit me, man." "I ain't no sucker." "He's B.G.A. He made the hit." "He's your man." "I ain't tryin' to play you for no sucker, brother." "I'm just tellin' you, if I wanted to hit Montana, I'd have used a free-lancer." "An AV-er, so it couldn't be traced." "I'm not a stupid man, sir." "[Warden] That's enough." "Come on over here with me." " [Warden] Is that your man?" " [Bonafide] Yeah, that's him." " Why don't you let me talk to him?" " No way!" "He ain't gonna tell you nothin'." "You wanna get to the bottom of this problem?" "You wanna deal with it?" "Now, I know he'll talk to me." "Your call." "[Speaking Arabic]" " Goddamn." "The Man got you down here too?" " Yeah." "Look here." "Why you hit Montana?" "Oh, I dig." "The Man got his eyes and ears in the wall." "Don't sweat, brother." "I'm gonna maintain." "Who ordered the hit?" "You did." "Come here." "[Screaming]" "Oh!" "[Indistinct Remark] You did, man!" " You did." "I got your kite, man." " I didn't send you nothin'." " Ow!" "Ow!" "Fuck!" " Who ordered it?" "You did, man." "You did." "I got your comb." " I know your design." " You got my comb?" "Yeah, I got your comb." "I opened it up." "I read the message, I burned it." "It was your comb, man!" "[Paco] Listen, man, we've got five minutes." "The warden let me come in here to talk to you about Montana's murder." "Who the fuck are you to come here like this?" "Montana's none of your fucking business!" "You gotta listen to me, Miklo." "Bonafide says somebody counterfeited his comb... and put a phony message in it to hit Montana." " The B.G.A. Didn't do it." " That's bullshit!" "We know the fuckin' B.G.A. Killed him." "Yeah?" "Well, the administration doesn't think so." "And what if they're right?" "You wanna be responsible for starting a fucking war against the wrong people?" "Huh?" "Listen, man, I know you hate me." "I shot your leg off, and that's something I'm gonna have to live with for the rest of my life." "But you're still my blood, and I'm not gonna stand here and watch you destroy yourself." "If you start this war, you and your vatos will be committing suicide." "Now look over there." "You see the warden?" "He's got all the firepower he needs, and he ain't afraid to use it, believe me." "Do you want that?" "Oh, you're The Man now, aren't you?" "Look, Montana left you in charge, right?" "Be a real leader, man." "Protect your people." "Meet with Bonafide." "What do you got to lose?" "I'll meet him in the yard." "[Miklo] One lieutenant each." "No guards around." "[Warden] That's far enough." "Let 'em go on their own." "I swear to you, it wasn't the B.G.A." "Montana was a stand-up dude." "We were set up!" "That old man was no jive-ass punk." "He was hard-core B.G.A." "That's right." "That's why it don't make no sense." "I take out Montana with my own man?" "That's suicide." "Now you do what you wanna do, but think about this:" "Who you think stands to gain if B.G.A. And Onda war?" "The fuckin' A.V.!" "Oh, yeah, they want us to take each other out." "Then they step in and take over everything." "We go back to bein' slaves." "The AV-ers." "They're the only ones who could've gotten Montana's route from the white guards." "Right?" "I work with Lightning in the wood shop." "He gets my comb, he counterfeits it, he sends it to Wallace." " It's possible." " And now that motherfucker Red Ryder... sittin' in a front-row seat just waitin' on us to take each other out." " So what do you propose?" " I say whip those motherfuckers together." "We do to them what they tryin' to do to us." "[Miklo] You see those pinche vultures?" "They're watchin' us with a magnifying glass right now." "So for the next six months, we'll practice a good-neighbor policy." "So we got a deal?" "We join forces?" "Yeah." "And we'll celebrate a big Mexican holiday together." "Now which one you talkin' about?" "Dia de los muertos." "That means what now?" "Day of the Dead." " All right." " [Chuckles] Right." "In six months." "My man." "They're shakin' hands." "We got a truce." "We won't congratulate ourselves too soon." "We'll wait and see." "[Cyclone] I don't trust that dude." "No, no, no." "This boy's in way over his head." "He ain't got no choice but to go with us right now." "We help them take out the AV-ers, we're making the mayates stronger, ese." "It's okay, carnal." "When you expect nothing and you get everything, that's destiny." "The B.G.A. Wants to help us take out the AV-ers?" "All right." "We'll throw a little white meat to the dogs." "Then we'll rob the house." "Ç Orale!" "Gracias, carnal." "You were right." "You did the right thing, Miklo." "Tell your mom I love her, okay?" " Take care of yourself, all right?" " Yeah." "*[Drumbeats]" "*[Cruz Singing In Spanish]" "Juanito, Juanito." "Hey, homes, if anybody messes with you, ese." "[Sobbing]" "I'm sorry, ama." "Ç Perdoname!" " I loved Juanito." " I know, mi hijo." "[Cruz] I loved him, ama." "[Sobbing] ... carnalito, familia." "I'm sorry." "[Sobbing] I missed you." "Mi familia." "*[Drumbeats, Chanting]" "...she put the handcuffs on, two days later, I come back." "She's got eye hooks drilled in the door." "She's got thongs." "I swear to God, she absolutely loved it!" "She became or..." "*[Drumbeats]" "*[Chanting In Indian Tongue]" " [Grunting]" " You got it." "One more." " Come on, one more." " [Gasps, Screams]" "Hey, hey, hey." "No more." "No more, man." "I'm through, okay?" "That's it." "[Ryder] Ten cents a fuckin'hour." "That spic warden ain't gettin' a nickel's worth of overtime outta me." "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "What the fuck is wrong with you goddamn people!" "Are you..." "Goddamn it!" "You stupid fuckin' asshole!" "You got it in my eyes!" "Lousy..." "Aaah!" "Now everybody keeps their mouth shut, you understand me?" "This way, won't be no problem with nobody when the shit go down." "The plan's gonna work, Bonafide." "I'm telling you, man, we keep our stake together." " That way we control the whole joint, right?" " All right." "You want some of this?" "You want some of this?" "[Groans]" "[Warden] Who do these punks think they are?" "Look at this!" "It's unbelievable." "Every hit was strategic." "First they knocked off most of the A.V. Leadership, and then they finished off the B.G.A." "I don't like being lied to." "I want the Onda council broken up." "Use interstate compact." "I want 'em outta here." "Get 'em outta here before the end of the week." "[Rollie Whistles] Taxpayers just saved another three million bucks." "Everything's a fuckin'joke to you, man." "What's your problem?" " What's my problem?" "You got a problem!" " No, you don't understand, man." "That little bastard's up there playing God and he's got an army to back him up." "Yeah, I don't understand, right?" "I don't ever understand, right?" "Well, as long as he's doing it behind bars, it's not gonna affect you or me, is it?" " Is it?" " Oh, it's not gonna affect us?" "Won't affect any of us, will it?" "You used me." "I tried to save your life and you used me to set up the B.G.A." "They would've come after us if we hadn't got them first." " I did what I had to for my brothers to survive." " Your brothers?" "And what am I, Miklo?" "Man, you grew up with me." "You slept in my room." "You wore my fuckin' clothes!" "How could you use your own flesh and blood to help massacre all those people?" "I didn't wanna hurt you, Paco." "In here, you use what you've got." "Without your help, a lot of carnales would've died." " Gracias..." " Don't you thank me." "I hate what you did." "I hate what you stand for." "You know, Paquito, for a long time I hated you." "I blamed you for everything." "But then I realized something that changed my life." "Everything you did..." "even shooting my leg off... forced me into my destiny." "Made me discover myself." "Find my real family, my home." "Here." "Inside these walls, I found the strength of La Raza." "You got no fuckin' idea what La Raza means." "It's about our people out there, working, surviving, with pride and dignity." "That's raza." "Not lying and murdering." "All you got is your white father's hate." "Still hung up on my fluorescent skin, vato?" "Hmm?" "He wasn't my real father." "Montana was." "He taught me about respect." "You gotta be willing to die for it." "Like you." "Like you not deserting me after the car crash at El Pino." "That was real respect for a brother." "And I'll always love you for it, carnal." "Miklo, it's not about drive-bys and gang fights anymore." " It's about..." " Let's stop fighting, carnal!" "We're family." "We should help each other, not cut each other's throats." "Let's be brothers again." "[Sighs]" "Just because you're a cop and I'm a con doesn't mean we can't cooperate." "I can give you tips from inside that could really help you out on the street." "You got a lot of power out there, man." "Your guidance and advice would be invaluable to me." "What are you asking me?" "To be a member of your gang?" "Are you outta your fuckin' mind?" "Do you remember how we took out Spider for Cruz?" "Together, Paco." "We're unbeatable." "Your Onda's not my onda, and it never will be." "Paco!" "I'll always be your brother, vato loco." "Never." " Orale, Chivito." " Tucha, carnal." "They're watching, homes." "I know they are." "Let 'em watch." "[Miklo] The show's just beginning and they don't even know it." "This will probably be our last meeting together, carnales." "They're trying to break Onda up." "But you know what?" "They're only helping us grow." "They're using the interstate compact... to exchange each of you who's from out of state for cons from Califas." "So, Chivo, they're sending you back to Arizona." " ¿Como dices?" " Hey, man, we can't do nothin' about it." "You gotta go." "But at least you'll be back to your mom, man." "She needs anything, let me know." "I'll take care of her." "Orale, homes." "Simon que si." "Geronimo goes back to Texas." " You straighten your son out, ¿que no?" " Simon." "They're trying to break up La Onda!" "But we're gonna turn it on 'em!" "And you know how we're gonna do that?" "Each of you is gonna establish your own chapters." "La Onda has $15,000 for each of you so you can start things out strong." "We're gonna spread La Onda gospel Billy Graham style!" "Yeah." "Say it, homey." "El Mero Mero had a dream." "We are that dream." "We're gonna multiply in numbers undreamed of." "In every pinta, every barrio." "Every southwestern state." "La Onda has a destiny... and no one can stop us." "Ç Eso!" "Ç Orale!" "Ç Viva La Onda!" " Tocale, carnal." "Orale." " Viva." "What about me, carnal?" "Where do I go?" "You stay with me, carnal." "You're the eyes behind my back." "The leg I don't have." "The other half of mi corazon." "You ordered me to destroy this mold." "But I kept it for protection..." "from you." "Now I want you to destroy it." " I loved him." " We both loved him." "But we did what we had to do for Onda!" "You were right." "I give my life to you." "Ç Jefe!" "Simon." " [Paco] What are we doing here?" " No llores, vato." "No mas ven." " Come on, man." " Man, you got me outta bed to come down here?" "Think you lost more than your hair, vato." "Ha!" "Don't believe all that shit you hear about Samson, ese." "I'm just stripping' myself down to the bone, homes." " What if I said I wouldn't come?" " Shit, I knew you would come." "Shee..." "Huacha." "Come look at yourself in the mirror, ese." "Oh, man." "It's not all marked up, man." "It's a sign of respect." "For ten years, man, I've been Star Trekking in the Twilight Zone." "Thought if I came and looked at this, I might find my way back, ¿que no?" "[Cruz] Damn!" "We were all innocent, eh." "That's all gone, Cruzito." "It ain't like that anymore." "What, not even a little carnalismo left in there, ese?" "What, you think you use brotherhood up like a shot of tequila?" "[Cruz] You just drink it down, it burns, makes you feel good, ya?" "And you're left with a hangover the rest of your life?" "Look, man, you showed me your mural." "You're a good artist." "I think you're the best." "Now come on." "Let's go." "Just 'cause you wear sunglasses don't mean you're blind, ese." "Oh, shit!" "You wanna know what I see up there?" "A fantasy, man." "A dream." "Three vatos looking for something that wasn't there." "Loco, we stood by each other." "We trusted each other." "Ç Orale!" "That's worth believing in!" "Shit, we were familia, homes." "And never again, Cruzito." "Miklo and I are finished, man." "He ain't my family!" "I hate that fuckin' puto!" "You oughta scrape his ass off the wall like dirt." "Chale, vato." "No matter how much hate there is between you and him, you're still connected." "You got the same blood pumping through both your hearts, ese." "That's a bond you can never break." "Neither can Miklo." "He's still just trying to be like you!" " That's bullshit!" " Ç Simon, ese!" "Come on!" "Ç El Gallo Negro!" "The baddest Chicano in the barrio!" "Yeah, well, that ain't me!" "Not anymore." "You ain't changed a bit, ese." "Oh, so what?" "What are you saying?" "It's all my fault the way everything turned out?" "Oh, I see." "Orale." "What, you think you got so much fucking power, huh?" "You control everybody's destiny?" "Chale." " No, you're right, man." "I set Miklo up." " No, I'm not." "I made him go after Spider." "I started the whole fuckin' thing." "Relax, ese." " Your back wouldn't be all fucked up." " [Sighs]" " Miklo wouldn't be in prison." "He'd still have his leg." " Hey, I forgive you, ese." "I don't want your forgiveness, man!" "You know, that's your fuckin' problem, ese." "You can't forgive yourself." "You need that guilt." "It's what keeps you going." "Hey, I know, bro." "I fed mine through a needle for ten years." "And that guero up there, hating his own fuckin' white skin?" "Shit, he's got it worse than both of us." "You gotta cut it loose, carnal." "It's fucking poison!" "That's who we are." "Three vatos locos full of carnalismo, trying to survive in a fuckin' war zone." "But what I know now, bro, is that I need my familia to do it." "We all do." "Even you, ç pinche jura!" "Badass cop." "Hey, don't back away, vato." "Life's a risk, carnal." "Remember?" "You said it yourself." "Ç Pues orale!" "Step into the ring and throw down, ese." "You a badass?" "Take care of business, homes." "Ç Caiga, puto!" "'Cause we're from East Los, ese!" "We come out chased by hounds!" "Huh?" "Round and round we go, wearing a pinche rabbit's foot for luck." "Just ahead of the fuckin' hounds. ç Qu'iubo!" " Ow!" " Yeah!" "Ç Que vida es!" "Que loca vida, homes." "¿Pero sabes que, ese?" " [Sniffling]" " Hey." "We got something better than a rabbit's foot, homes." "We've got familia!" "Raza, huey." "Hmm?" "You know what I'm saying, ese?" "Crees mucho, Gallo Negro." "You may be bad, but you can't dance like Smooth Cruz." "Ç Orale!" "Yo y tu, ese." "Oh, I see now." "I remember you, vato." " Ç Ah!" "Ç Ay, ay, ay!" " El Gallo Negro, vato." " I'm a lover, not a fighter, man." " Oh, si." "Simon." "El merengue at the Tender Trap '72." " Rucas got their hearts broke and I kicked your ass." "Pow!" "Pow!" " Shit!" "Shit, man, I was breakin' hearts and faces, vato." "[Cruz] ç Oh, si!" "Bullshit!" "You still can't dance, ese!" "You still can't dance." "¿Yque, loco?" "Yeah, but you can learn, ese." "I'll teach you." "Simon." "'Cause it ain't ever over, homes." "Never!" "Bailamos hasta que nos morimos, ese." "Ow!" "Ow!"
