REPORTER: First of all,
I want to thank you

for doing this interview.

Mr. Murguia, you have built

one of the most successful
aviation companies

here in your hometown
of San Miguel.

How did you do it? What was
the key to your success?

I learned early in life
that no one's gonna help you.

You got to work your ass off.

And, of course,
having a brilliant CEO

by my side doesn't hurt.

Ay, he's saying that because
you are here. (chuckles)

- Yes, I am. I'm kidding.
- (laughs) Thank you.

She's great. She's the best.

I was speaking with Perla
earlier, and she mentioned

you'll be expanding
into the U.S. soon.

Oh, no, I think
you misunderstood her.

We have no plans of doing
business in the United States.

Well, why wouldn't you want
to do business with the U.S.?

Uh, so h-here's the thing.

Wh-Why do you guys always think

the United States is
the symbol of success? Hmm?

(laughs) Maybe now is
a good time to take

- a tour of the facility.
- No, it's a good time

- to discuss this.
- PERLA: Yes.

Let's talk about this,
because I think there's

a big problem there, you know?

You want to know what the real
problem with Americans is?

They're entitled.
They're ignorant.

They think Mexico is just

a bunch of drug cartels
and Cancún.

(chuckles) Why don't we talk
about the planes?

They're idiots.
And you know what else?

- They're fat.
- Now we're all fat?

- No, he means full of life.
- No, I mean full of fat.

Like, supersized, okay?

- A-And you know what really annoys me?
- What?

When you guys see
we are from another country,

you just speak louder
and slower to us.

Maybe you guys should learn
another language.

you've come to the wrong place.

You understand?

No, no, no. I'm sorry, sir.

No, no, no, don't. I...

- Take it.
- No, I-I can't sell any of this.

Please.

Take it all.

The ring.
I can sell the ring.

So, what happened to him?

What you need to know

is that all your father
cared about

was getting back
to his family in Mexico.

So, with the little money
he had,

he bought a bus ticket to
the border in El Paso, Texas.

No one.

Promise.

You come back
and bring me the money...

And it's yours.

MR. B: And once he finally got
all the way to El Paso,

it was just a long walk home

Dear Renato,

You were right.

I guess I do screw up
everyone's lives.

And I'm sorry
I screwed up yours.

I really hope it gets you back

Where's Renatito?

Yeah...

I got out of there

I couldn't save him.

What do you mean, you...

He's still there?

- With those guys?

Señor Renatito was
a good man, you know,

and he really did
care about you.

And I think what he'd want
more than anything

is for you to get
to your wedding in time.

Dude, you're never gonna
make it to your wedding.
