"Wanna know where Lionel Queen is?"
PREVIOUSLY
- We need to talk.
- I'm illegal.
I'm not your son.
You're not my father.
I don't fit in Leonel's life.
And you're a gold mine
in the making, dude.
Just come with me and let me show you
what I'm talking about
so you can see for yourself.
- Leonel's back.
- And he's going to fight in the local pit.
This is your dream
of being a champion?
I don't care.
Who dares to go up against La Peligrosa?
Me!
No, no, no, no! Meche, what are you doing?
- No, no, no!
- The same as you.
Come here.
Dodge her, Miss Meche!
Miss Meche,
what are you doing here,
fighting La Peligrosa?
Miss Meche,
careful on the side, okay?
Careful, Peligrosa.
Oh, no!
Leonel. Leonel, please, make it stop.
- Let her go, please.
- Get me out of here, please. Now.
- No, no, no, no, no!
- No. No, no, no!
Ah.
- Meche. Are you okay?
- Help me. Get me out of here now. No. Now.
- She's crazy. Now. Get me out of here now!
- Careful!
Hey, stop! No!
Ah!
Miss Meche!
- Play dead, Miss Meche.
- Mm-hmm.
See? That's why.
Go for it, Meche! Come on! Let's go!
- I don't want fight.
- Throw some straw down!
Hey, don't think I'm doing this
to avenge my bro. Or am I?
Why are you climbing up there?
Meche!
Bro, look.
You're in there
for a reason, Peligrosa!
Get out, bro.
Come on, Peligrosa!
Come on! Kill him!
Kevin, come here.
Hey!
Come on, I'm going to show you who's boss.
Are you scared? Are you scared?
Come on! I thought you were all that!
Come on! Come and get me! Come here!
Badass, bro.
- Are you okay?
- Yes. You?
- Oh, man.
- Oh, no.

Earthquake in progress.
Earthquake in progress.
Run!
Run!
- It's going to shake.
- Come on, hurry! It's shaking!
Miss Meche!
Get out of here, get out of here!
We don't want to be here
when the earthquake hits.
It's going to shake!
Move!
Me either, bro.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Well, nothing happened. It didn't shake.
That was so rude, huh?
You came back from the United
and didn't stop by to say hi.
Ah, that's true, bro. Not cool.
Why didn't you stop by to see your bros?
What?
Oh.
- Grace, hi.
- Hi.
- Come in.
- Thank you.
How are you feeling?
I... I wanted you to have this.
Oh. Thank you.
I really liked them
and he gave them to me.
- Oh!
- Well, um,
I wanted to apologize
for how I acted the other day.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
No worries. We understand.
Thank you.
Grace, we really care a lot for you
and we always will.
Come on,
would you like to have some coffee?
Coffee? Yeah?
Sure. Thank you.
Ah, oh.
Might I tell you…
…I made your favorite cake.
- Oh!
- Come on. Yes.
Ah.
Of course.
- Let me help you.
- Thank you.
Who texted you?
Images of the fire
in the Gold Raider gym in downtown LA.
- There are no fatal victims, but…
- Oh, my God.
- …there are multiple material damages.
- The gym.
Firefighters have tried to…
What can I say, bro?
Honestly, I'm already super hungry, okay?
Yeah. We'll eat something
as soon as we get home.
- Ah, we had a torta at home, right?
- Yeah. No worries.
Listen, bro.
I think we'd better go, right?
- Because, uh... Crap.
- Yes. Move it.
What is he doing here?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
What is he doing here? Huh?
No. Why are you leading Yadi on?
Gordo isn't leading anyone on.
I thought we'd gotten rid of you.
- Don't you dare.
- Oh, I won't.
I don't want to fight,
but if that's want you want, Gordo...
What?
Only because I have to answer this.
Hello?
Since when have you been
seeing Gordo on the sly?
BASED ON AN ORIGINAL IDEA
OF FERNANDO BARBOSA
No, no, no, no. Who's dating?
He and I are not an item.
Right, y'all are just,
"Let's find a dark corner," right?
- Hey.
- Crap, uh... No, I was just saying.
This time...
- It's for you.
- What?
It's your fiancée, Grace.
She's desperate.
She hasn't been able to get a hold of you.
She loves you or something like that.
I couldn't understand her, to be honest.
But you should answer her.
Crap, bro. Two-timing.
His fiancée.
- Yes, I got it.
- Come on.
Grace?
Why are you calling me
through Gordo's phone?
Gordo gave me this number
when I first went to Mexico.
What? He's the one who told you?
Listen, your dad, he had a heart attack
and we have to rush him
to the hospital right now.
- I'm so sorry. I have to go.
- What?
I have to go. Bye.
- No. Grace, wait.
- Something's going on.
Oh, man.
- What happened?
- This can't be happening.
My dad is…
A heart attack.
What did he say?
His dad had a heart attack.
Hey, uh…
…how long until we get to Matamoros?
A lot.
Like, a lot, a lot?
Oh, man.
I, uh, no...
I can't believe that this is happening.
No... No understand, uh,
that Gordo lend me money.
Mmm.
He probably did it to look good
in front of Yadi.
And I'm sure he'll make us pay
through the nose,
but the important thing is
he gave us the money.
Yeah.
Your trainer talked to me
about the little issue
with the Gold Raiders gym.
So, compadre,
we don't have any gym to back you up
to fight in Las Vegas, right?
I'm really sorry, sir. It was a mistake.
Rules are rules!
In this business,
without rules, you... you're nobody.
Hey, Tony.
Something is for sure.
Martin is the best here.
We'll see that.
'Cause I have some friends,
owners of really good gyms
who owe me favors.
But it's not gonna come for free.
I understand.
You have to prove me that you deserve it.
Name it. Anything.
In the ring.
Raúl!
Last stop!
Last stop between here and Matamoros!
Oh, man.
If anything happens to my dad
after what I said to him,
I'm not forgive myself.
Nothing is how I thought it would be.
I... I don't even know who I am
or where I'm from.
Your nationality doesn't define you.
You're still Leonel.
Mexican, gringo,
from up north or down south.
It doesn't matter.
I grew up surrounded by lies.
I grew up dreaming
I could represent the United States,
that I could represent my flag.
Now I don't have one.
Listen.
Your dream is to be a champion,
and you can still do that.
Forget about flags. Don't let anyone
take your dream away from you.
Martin, the technique.
Cover yourself up.
Come on, Martin!
Cover yourself up.
Move your feet around.
Now, right! Now!
That's right, Martin. That's right!
Bravo.
You need to eat something.
Drink your juice at least.
There's still a long way to go
and you don't want to starve.
Thank you, Meche.
No, he's not hungry.
What?
Let's dance.
Oh, no. No. Uh, I don't dance.
Are you gonna leave me hanging?
Come on, stand up.
I don't know how to dance.
I can teach you.
This song was my mom's favorite.
She sang it at every party.
♪ I hope things go beautifully for you ♪
♪ I hope that your sorrows end ♪
It's about a farewell.
I like it.
Who is it?
Chavela Vargas.
Mexican?
No.
She was born in Costa Rica,
but said she was Mexican,
because Mexicans are born
wherever we feel like it.
Sometimes we're born here,
but we grow up somewhere else.
But we always come back.
Excuse me. The bus to Matamoros
departs in five minutes.
Hurry up.
I don't want to leave you behind.
The doctor said
he suffered a myocardial infarction.
He needs surgery, maybe a stent.
I'm so sorry.
They don't know what condition he's in.
Gosh.
I feel so... so guilty.
You heard all the things I said.
I didn't mean it.
It's just, I... I was so mad.
It's not your fault.
I-I'm sorry for all the things I said. I...
I have no words to thank you
for all... all you do for us.
Well, they're like my family too.
Don't worry.
I'll be here, as long as it takes.
And I'll keep you updated on everything.
Uh, look, uh, I have to go.
So, um, tell my parents I love them, okay?
Of course.
I love you...
- Hey.
- How is your dad?
Oh, they have to operate
and put in, uh… …stent.
So… …I need to see him…
…as soon as possible.
Yeah, uh,
the bus stop manager
gave me a guy's phone number.
He can be trusted.
He already called him and he said
he'd be waiting for us in Matamoros.
He's good. He'll help us cross.
No, wait, uh…
No, uh, not you. You no cross.
- What?
- Only me cross.
It's dangerous.
I crossed when I was a kid. And…
- It's dangerous.
- I can't let you do this, okay?
Mm-hmm. So if I don't cross,
you're going to have to find your own guy,
because this one only works
if I go with you.
Meche.
I thought I'd never see you again.
I thought you were gonna get married
in Mexico with Lionel.
Mind if I come in?
Come in.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know that perfect life
you've always wanted?
To live in a barrio house.
Lots of American-Mexican kids?
Things didn't go like I wish they did.
So he chose her over you, huh?
What a fool.
Why'd you call me?
Don't you feel bad
about what you did to Lionel?
He was living here illegally.
- But you're the one who called them...
- My duty as an American citizen.
You know what?
I'm wasting my time here.
Martin, wait.
How did you find out about Lionel?
I was shocked.
Please.
You can trust me.
Oh, Gracie…
Remember that summer two years ago?
When Lionel and I went to go look
for that job at the sports store?
Yeah, but he never worked there.
Yeah, 'cause you got him that dreamy job
as the new face of that energetic drink.
Yeah, I'll never forget that.
Nor will I forgive him for it.
- Cut it out, it was me who got him...
- But I can't stay mad at you.
Well, he didn't work there, but I did.
The owner gave back his papers.
And he got rejected.
There's great systems
set up to trap illegals in this country.
That was one of them.
All this for a commercial?
He got everything. He got that job.
- The best opportunities, the sponsors.
- And?
The people with Boxing World.
- That's not that...
- He got you!
I was sick of it.
I just wanted him to feel
what I always felt.
I'm finally first.
I won.
Martin.
This isn't you.
What happened to you?
- Hey.
- Hey.
What is this?
It's Saint Judas.
He'll protect us when we cross the river.
Protect?
Yes.
He's the patron saint of miracles
and I want you to have it.
- Hey, guys!
- Thank you.
Come here! Coffee's ready!
When we reach the river,
don't chicken out, okay?
No saying you're scared. Got it?
Are you strong swimmers?
- Yes.
- The river is tough this time of year.
- What do I care about the river?
- Thank you.
It does get really rough.
There's a ton of water,
lots of things floating in it.
And with all the rain, well,
there's even crocodiles.
Coffee?
Ah, thank you.
Thank you.
But most importantly,
if you make it that is,
once you're ashore, you gotta be scrappy
to get away from immigration.
- Okay?
- Scrap metal for sale?
What?
- No.
- No, bro.
Scrappy means that you haul...
Go hard, run,
run like hell, fast, go all out…
Yeah.
…so the pigs,
immigration, the police, don't grab you.
- Okay? Uh…
- Yes.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Get ready!
I highly suggest you use the bathroom.
You won't see another decent one
for a few days.
- I'll show them.
- Yeah, take them.
Come on.
Thank you.
Hey.
We are going to be fine.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Don't be afraid.
I'll be right back.
Don't miss me, okay? Behave yourself.
Leonel?
Can you open the door?
I think the door's stuck.
Leonel!
Open the door right now!
Leonel! Don't leave me here!
Leonel!
Okay.
It's for the best.
Don't risk her life.
I'll make sure your girl makes it back
to the city in one piece.
Thank you.
Leonel!
- Ready?
- Yeah.
Leonel!
Come on.
Let's do this.
Leonel!
Leonel! Leonel!
You need another surgery, Roberto.
We need to get you to the operating room.
They need to operate.
Can they wait?
Wait? Why?
Lionel.
You know he can't come back.
Then I'm going to Mexico. Decision made.
Open the door!
Girl, you need to understand…
…that you're not getting out of there
until I open the door.
And I won't open it until you calm down.
It's been a long time.
Just calm down already.
I want to talk to Leonel!
Dream on.
Your guy left a long time ago.
And he did it to protect you.
That's sweet.
Calm down so you can go home.
I'm not going to calm down
until he comes and gets me out of here!
It's going to be a long night, huh?
I'll have another cup of coffee.
It's a good thing you aren't out here,
because it's going to rain.
Girl.
Girl.
Little girl.
Girl.
Girl.
Girl.
Girl. Girl.
Girl! Girl!
Let's go!
Jump in before immigration gets here!
Move it!
Come on, come on!
Move!
Mom!
- Hold on tight!
- Mom, don't let me go! Mom!
Mom!
Go back! If you move…
Go, go, go, go.
Swim, swim. Go back, go back.
- He won't make it.
- Go back!
This is American soil! Go back.
You can't come here.
This is American soil.
Hide there. Go!
This is
your last warning. Go back! Go back!
Where is Leonel? Tell me where he went.
They already got that guy.
If you follow him, they'll get you too.
If you don't tell me where he went,
you'll have to live knowing
it's your fault I got lost at the border.
- But they already got him.
- But you're going to take me there.
Fine.
- Follow me. This way.
- Stop right there!
If you don't go back, you'll be arrested.
Go! Go! Go!
Go. Climb up.
- That's right. Here.
- Ah.
Did they leave?
No. They're still there. It's a trap.
Meche?
Meche, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
I told you I'm here for you.
Don't ever leave me behind again, okay?
Stop! Stop right there!
Put your hands up!
Put your hands up where I can see them!
You're under arrest.
Walk towards the shore. Make it quick!
Well, gentlemen, in...
Sir, please, I need a phone. Sir?
- Sir, a phone, please.
- Oh, man.
This guy.
I need to know how my dad is doing.
He's gonna be okay. You'll see.
I have to cross again.
- No.
- Yeah.
No, you heard the officers.
If they catch us again,
they'll throw us in jail.
No, no. We can't take that risk.
What would your parents do
if that happened?
What other option do I have?
- None.
- Mmm.
Oh, thanks.
- This is your phone, right?
- It's my cell phone. Yes.
- Can I use it?
- Yes. Yes, yes.
There you go.
Thanks.
Hey, listen. Your dad is stable.
His stent surgery went well.
Oh, my God.
- Thank you so much, Grace.
- Oh, wait. There's one more thing.
April?
Stay strong.
I'm always here for you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Thank you.
Thank you.
Lionel?
Hey, Mom.
How's everything? How's Dad?
He's okay.
Listen, um, your father and I,
we miss you very much.
And he's asking me to buy two tickets
to go see you in Mexico City.
Yeah, Mom…
…that would be awesome. I mean, please.
Please come down here.
I can't wait to hug you guys.
Neither can we.
Take care, Lionel.
We love you very much.
Okay, Mom. I love you too.
Meche…
I'm sorry.
Why?
For everything.
I mean…
Thank you.
For being with me. Mmm?
WELCOME TO MEXICO - MEXICO ROUTE
Oh, this is silly. We've spent hours
looking for a guide you met once.
- Do you know how many there are here?
- Yeah, I know.
But, uh,
I'm sure where guide took is close here.
But why would he help us?
The one time you saw him,
he robbed you and put you to sleep.
I know it's crazy…
…but I have an idea.
Mmm.
See?
That is our ticket
back to the neighborhood.
- Why?
- Come with me.
If they catch us, they'll kill us.
They won't catch us.
This truck doesn't stop
until the Central Food Depot.
How do you know?
You were sleeping the first time, right?
I know it because I'm still alive.
I can't believe
everything that's happened.
My life has changed so much
since I met you.
Meche,
I didn't know what I really wanted to do
until I met you in Mexico.
I mean…
…I always knew I wanted
to be a champion, but it's different now.
I feel it here.
Like...
I feel strong things for you.
No, don't tell me that.
It's true.
- Here you go.
- Mmm.
Thank you.
Mmm.
Good?
What's this?
ARE YOU COMING OR GOING?

Oh, no!
Leonel. Leonel, please, make it stop.

No. Why are you leading Yadi on?
Gordo isn't leading anyone on.

You need to eat something.
Drink your juice at least.
There's still a long way to go
and you don't want to starve.
Thank you, Meche.
No, he's not hungry.
What?
Let's dance.
Oh, no. No. Uh, I don't dance.
Are you gonna leave me hanging?
Come on, stand up.
I don't know how to dance.
I can teach you.
This song was my mom's favorite.
She sang it at every party.
♪ I hope things go beautifully for you ♪
♪ I hope that your sorrows end ♪
It's about a farewell.
I like it.
Who is it?
Chavela Vargas.
Mexican?
No.
She was born in Costa Rica,
but said she was Mexican,
because Mexicans are born
wherever we feel like it.
Sometimes we're born here,
but we grow up somewhere else.
But we always come back.
Excuse me. The bus to Matamoros
departs in five minutes.
Hurry up.
I don't want to leave you behind.
The doctor said
he suffered a myocardial infarction.
He needs surgery, maybe a stent.
I'm so sorry.
They don't know what condition he's in.
Gosh.
I feel so... so guilty.
You heard all the things I said.
I didn't mean it.
It's just, I... I was so mad.
It's not your fault.
I-I'm sorry for all the things I said. I...
I have no words to thank you
for all... all you do for us.
Well, they're like my family too.
Don't worry.
I'll be here, as long as it takes.
And I'll keep you updated on everything.
Uh, look, uh, I have to go.
So, um, tell my parents I love them, okay?
Of course.
I love you...
- Hey.
- How is your dad?
Oh, they have to operate
and put in, uh… …stent.
So… …I need to see him…
…as soon as possible.
Yeah, uh,
the bus stop manager
gave me a guy's phone number.
He can be trusted.
He already called him and he said
he'd be waiting for us in Matamoros.
He's good. He'll help us cross.
No, wait, uh…
No, uh, not you. You no cross.
- What?
- Only me cross.
It's dangerous.
I crossed when I was a kid. And…
- It's dangerous.
- I can't let you do this, okay?
Mm-hmm. So if I don't cross,
you're going to have to find your own guy,
because this one only works
if I go with you.
Meche.
I thought I'd never see you again.
I thought you were gonna get married
in Mexico with Lionel.
Mind if I come in?
Come in.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know that perfect life
you've always wanted?
To live in a barrio house.
Lots of American-Mexican kids?
Things didn't go like I wish they did.
So he chose her over you, huh?
What a fool.
Why'd you call me?
Don't you feel bad
about what you did to Lionel?
He was living here illegally.
- But you're the one who called them...
- My duty as an American citizen.
You know what?
I'm wasting my time here.
Martin, wait.
How did you find out about Lionel?
I was shocked.
Please.
You can trust me.
Oh, Gracie…
Remember that summer two years ago?
When Lionel and I went to go look
for that job at the sports store?
Yeah, but he never worked there.
Yeah, 'cause you got him that dreamy job
as the new face of that energetic drink.
Yeah, I'll never forget that.
Nor will I forgive him for it.
- Cut it out, it was me who got him...
- But I can't stay mad at you.
Well, he didn't work there, but I did.
The owner gave back his papers.
And he got rejected.
There's great systems
set up to trap illegals in this country.
That was one of them.
All this for a commercial?
He got everything. He got that job.
- The best opportunities, the sponsors.
- And?
The people with Boxing World.
- That's not that...
- He got you!
I was sick of it.
I just wanted him to feel
what I always felt.
I'm finally first.
I won.
Martin.
This isn't you.
What happened to you?
- Hey.
- Hey.
What is this?
It's Saint Judas.
He'll protect us when we cross the river.
Protect?
Yes.
He's the patron saint of miracles
and I want you to have it.
- Hey, guys!
- Thank you.
Come here! Coffee's ready!
When we reach the river,
don't chicken out, okay?
No saying you're scared. Got it?
Are you strong swimmers?
- Yes.
- The river is tough this time of year.
- What do I care about the river?
- Thank you.
It does get really rough.
There's a ton of water,
lots of things floating in it.
And with all the rain, well,
there's even crocodiles.
Coffee?
Ah, thank you.
Thank you.
But most importantly,
if you make it that is,
once you're ashore, you gotta be scrappy
to get away from immigration.
- Okay?
- Scrap metal for sale?
What?
- No.
- No, bro.
Scrappy means that you haul...
Go hard, run,
run like hell, fast, go all out…
Yeah.
…so the pigs,
immigration, the police, don't grab you.
- Okay? Uh…
- Yes.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Get ready!
I highly suggest you use the bathroom.
You won't see another decent one
for a few days.
- I'll show them.
- Yeah, take them.
Come on.
Thank you.
Hey.
We are going to be fine.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Don't be afraid.
I'll be right back.
Don't miss me, okay? Behave yourself.
Leonel?
Can you open the door?
I think the door's stuck.
Leonel!
Open the door right now!
Leonel! Don't leave me here!
Leonel!
Okay.
It's for the best.
Don't risk her life.
I'll make sure your girl makes it back
to the city in one piece.
Thank you.
Leonel!
- Ready?
- Yeah.
Leonel!
Come on.
Let's do this.
Leonel!
Leonel! Leonel!
You need another surgery, Roberto.
We need to get you to the operating room.
They need to operate.
Can they wait?
Wait? Why?
Lionel.
You know he can't come back.
Then I'm going to Mexico. Decision made.
Open the door!
Girl, you need to understand…
…that you're not getting out of there
until I open the door.
And I won't open it until you calm down.
It's been a long time.
Just calm down already.
I want to talk to Leonel!
Dream on.
Your guy left a long time ago.
And he did it to protect you.
That's sweet.
Calm down so you can go home.
I'm not going to calm down
until he comes and gets me out of here!
It's going to be a long night, huh?
I'll have another cup of coffee.
It's a good thing you aren't out here,
because it's going to rain.
Girl.
Girl.
Little girl.
Girl.
Girl.
Girl.
Girl. Girl.
Girl! Girl!
Let's go!
Jump in before immigration gets here!
Move it!
Come on, come on!
Move!
Mom!
- Hold on tight!
- Mom, don't let me go! Mom!
Mom!
Go back! If you move…
Go, go, go, go.
Swim, swim. Go back, go back.
- He won't make it.
- Go back!
This is American soil! Go back.
You can't come here.
This is American soil.
Hide there. Go!
This is
your last warning. Go back! Go back!
Where is Leonel? Tell me where he went.
They already got that guy.
If you follow him, they'll get you too.
If you don't tell me where he went,
you'll have to live knowing
it's your fault I got lost at the border.
- But they already got him.
- But you're going to take me there.
Fine.
- Follow me. This way.
- Stop right there!
If you don't go back, you'll be arrested.
Go! Go! Go!
Go. Climb up.
- That's right. Here.
- Ah.
Did they leave?
No. They're still there. It's a trap.
Meche?
Meche, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
I told you I'm here for you.
Don't ever leave me behind again, okay?
Stop! Stop right there!
Put your hands up!
Put your hands up where I can see them!
You're under arrest.
Walk towards the shore. Make it quick!
Well, gentlemen, in...
Sir, please, I need a phone. Sir?
- Sir, a phone, please.
- Oh, man.
This guy.
I need to know how my dad is doing.
He's gonna be okay. You'll see.
I have to cross again.
- No.
- Yeah.
No, you heard the officers.
If they catch us again,
they'll throw us in jail.
No, no. We can't take that risk.
What would your parents do
if that happened?
What other option do I have?
- None.
- Mmm.
Oh, thanks.
- This is your phone, right?
- It's my cell phone. Yes.
- Can I use it?
- Yes. Yes, yes.
There you go.
Thanks.
Hey, listen. Your dad is stable.
His stent surgery went well.
Oh, my God.
- Thank you so much, Grace.
- Oh, wait. There's one more thing.
April?
Stay strong.
I'm always here for you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Thank you.
Thank you.
Lionel?
Hey, Mom.
How's everything? How's Dad?
He's okay.
Listen, um, your father and I,
we miss you very much.
And he's asking me to buy two tickets
to go see you in Mexico City.
Yeah, Mom…
…that would be awesome. I mean, please.
Please come down here.
I can't wait to hug you guys.
Neither can we.
Take care, Lionel.
We love you very much.
Okay, Mom. I love you too.
Meche…
I'm sorry.
Why?
For everything.
I mean…
Thank you.
For being with me. Mmm?
WELCOME TO MEXICO - MEXICO ROUTE
Oh, this is silly. We've spent hours
looking for a guide you met once.
- Do you know how many there are here?
- Yeah, I know.
But, uh,
I'm sure where guide took is close here.
But why would he help us?
The one time you saw him,
he robbed you and put you to sleep.
I know it's crazy…
…but I have an idea.
Mmm.
See?
That is our ticket
back to the neighborhood.
- Why?
- Come with me.
If they catch us, they'll kill us.
They won't catch us.
This truck doesn't stop
until the Central Food Depot.
How do you know?
You were sleeping the first time, right?
I know it because I'm still alive.
I can't believe
everything that's happened.
My life has changed so much
since I met you.
Meche,
I didn't know what I really wanted to do
until I met you in Mexico.
I mean…
…I always knew I wanted
to be a champion, but it's different now.
I feel it here.
Like...
I feel strong things for you.
No, don't tell me that.
It's true.
- Here you go.
- Mmm.
Thank you.
Mmm.
Good?
What's this?
ARE YOU COMING OR GOING?
MEXICO CITY - 167KM
