Of all my childhood memories,
there is one sound I remember the most.
¡Papá!
But if you think we were the typical
father and son... think again.
- Oh! - Ooh.
Dad and I were never bored together
because, to my dad, life was a big game.
And our favorite game was solving Dad's riddles.
And then it happened.
Hey.
¡Mijo!
Oh, Renato.
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.
- Yes, I am. I'm kidding. - 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?
Maybe now is a good time to take
- a tour of the facility. - No, it's a good time
- to discuss this. - 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.
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 know what I mean, partner?
Aw.
- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.
Emilio.
Okay?
Okay, um...
Okay.
- Hey. - Hola.
Okay.
Hi. This is Renato Murguia.
- Hi. - Hi.
Uh, this is Katherine.
Hi, Katherine. How can I help you?
I'm your father's wife.
I'm calling because...
well, I know your relationship with him is complicated,
but you should know your father's very ill.
Are you still there?
Yes.
It would mean so much to your dad
if you could come see him here in Chicago.
Um... listen, not to be rude,
but I haven't heard from him in years,
and to be honest with you, um,
I don't even see your husband as my father anymore, so...
Renato, he really needs to see you.
¿Mamá?
No. No...
Hey.
Welcome to the United States of America.
"Ree-nae-doe"?
It's pronounced "Re-naht-o."
Oh, your accent is adorable.
Welcome to America, friend.
Where you from?
Uh, from Mexico.
- Oh, Mexico. - Yes.
I love that Cancún.
The zip-lining down there, it's amazing.
If I lived in Mexico, I'd zip-line every day.
- Oh, yeah? - You do a lot of zip-lining down there?
I-I... No, I don't zip-line.
- What? - Yeah.
Why do you live in Mexico, then?
Mmm.
Boomerang!
Hold on, hold on. Boomerang!
I can do this.
Boomerang! There we go. Hey.
What's up, guys? Asher is back.
I'm live here at the Boiler Monkey,
and we're checking out all these delish treats.
But who is this?
What's your name, partner?
Please just don't film me.
Oh, that's a cool accent, man. Where you from?
- From Mexico. - Mexico?
- Yes. - Oh, that's dangerous. Is that why you fled here?
I didn't flee here.
Could you please take that thing out my face?
Yeah, okay, you don't... Be calm, man.
- I am calm. - You don't need to be tense anymore.
You're safe now. You're in America.
Next customer.
All right.
Hey there, "Beat-rice."
It's Beatrice.
Sure.
I checked in on Yelp, so that means that if I buy a coffee
I can get anything else for free, right?
You can get another coffee for free.
Damn.
Those doughnuts look good, though.
- What do you think? - Just order.
Okay. You know what? I'll just have the two coffees,
- and make one of them with almond milk. - Okay.
- That comes to $1.87. - Great.
Amigo, spot me two bucks?
- What? - Spot me two bucks?
- No. - You don't have two bucks?
I do have two bucks, but I'm not giving you any money.
Ooh, what's your deal, man? You know I'm good for it.
- What's my deal? You don't carry any money on you? - Yeah.
Not even a-a credit card?
No, all my liquid's tied up in investments.
Listen, if you can't afford something, you can't buy it,
so please move.
Hi. I'm gonna have a large coffee, please.
Man, I-I didn't even want the wall.
You know what? I'm gonna buy
all of these doughnuts, and then I want you
to throw them in the trash.
You're-you're a monster.
Yeah. You can keep the change.
Excuse me.
Hi.
I'm here to see Flavio Murguia.
Renato?
Hi. I'm Katherine.
Thank you so much for coming.
It's gonna mean so much to your dad.
He's been waiting for you.
- I'll leave the two of you alone. - Yes.
Renato.
Hola.
Okay. Okay. Um...
I want you to remember this name,
because it's gonna clear a lot of things in your life.
Eloise.
It's all about Eloise.
So, I was at the coffee shop,
but they were all out of coffee, so...
- Are-are you following me? - What are you doing here?
- No. Why would I... - What is wrong with you?
- Are you following me? - Dad, is-is this guy bothering you?
Dad?
Renato, meet your brother Asher.
What? What do you...
Wh-What do you mean, "brother"? Th...
This-this guy's a bully. He is not nice.
Please just-just... just leave us for a second.
No, no, why do I have to... I'm not going.
- Please just leave us. Leave. - Dad, do I have to go?
Please, I need you both to hear this.
Yeah.
Look in my robe, my son.
Ay, Renato.
I wish I could just sit here and explain everything to you,
but they would just be words.
You wouldn't understand.
Certain things have to be seen from a different perspective.
Ah, I don't care about your perspective at all.
I just want to know what happened.
And you will.
I promise you.
All you need to do is deliver this envelope.
No.
I'm not playing any of your... of your games.
If you don't want to tell me
what happened, I-I'm gonna leave.
No. No, no, Renato.
I know you hate me, a-and I don't blame you,
but I promise you it will all make sense.
I just need both of you to promise me
that you will deliver this.
Why would I promise you anything?
I promise you, Dad.
Renato, please.
Please, there is so much I want to tell you.
Oh...
I-I think... I think I know enough.
No. No, mijo.
Goodbye, Flavio.
Por favor.
Renato, mijo.
¡Papá!
Bueno.
Oh. Hi.
Did you know Frank?
- Sorry. Who? - Frank.
Katherine's husband. Did you know him?
No, I guess I didn't.
Oh, he was a great man.
So generous and caring, and...
and he loved his family so much.
Yeah.
Uh, I'm sorry. I need to go.
Hey.
You know, I've been thinking a lot about it,
and I just want to let you know I'm not mad at you anymore
and I'm gonna give you a second chance.
Are you freaking kidding me right now?
- What? I'm apologizing here. - Oh, yeah?
Look, I guess it's kind of cool I have a brother.
Maybe I'll come down to Mexico sometime
and we can check out these zip lines
you guys keep bragging about.
Shut up.
I don't like you, okay?
I don't want to be close to you.
You're not my brother, so please just stay away from me.
- What are you doing, man? - Oh, my God.
We got to do this thing for Dad.
Don't you even want to know what the letter says?
- No, I don't. - I do.
"My dear sons...
"I know you have many unanswered questions,
"so you must go see my friend Evaristo.
"He will provide you with the answers you are seeking.
He will lead you to Eloise."
Eloise. Holy shit, dude. Do you think we have a sister?
I really don't care.
Hey, there's another envelope in here. It's like a...
It's like a clue. I don't know if you know this,
but Dad loved riddles.
- Yeah. - Hey!
- Wait. Come on, man. - "Ren-a-doo"?
We're supposed to do this together as brothers.
You promised Dad that we would do this.
- No, I didn't promise him anything, okay? - Yes.
And do you really think I want to go on a road trip
with some stupid, entitled shithead like you?
Is this a trick question?
Come on!
What's your problem, man?
Bueno.
Okay.
Come back to apologize?
Pick me up tomorrow, 7:00 a.m., my hotel.
Hell yeah. Road trip.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No road trip.
Day trip, okay?
7:00 a.m., my hotel, sharp. You got it?
- I got it. - You got it?
I got it. 7:00 a.m.
- Jesus. - Let's go.
Yeah!
Hey, hey. What's up, mi amigo?
- We said 7:00. - I-I thought we said 8:00.
No, I said 7:00.
It must be the language barrier.
I don't know.
All right, let's cut to the chase.
You're wondering what those
huge jugs of fuel are back there, huh?
They're carbon-based alternative fuel.
Okay. I'm assuming ethanol?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Hey, man, are you, like, smart?
- I'm an engineer. - Dude!
Dad was an engineer.
Did you know that?
Yeah, man.
Dad wanted me to be an engineer, but I was like,
"Yeah, no, thanks. I'm not a loser."
- Oh. - I'm-I'm an ideas guy.
- Oh, yeah? Yeah. - You know what I mean? Yeah.
I see.
You're one of these lazy Americans, right?
No, I'm not... I'm not lazy. I'm a... I'm a thoughts guy.
Yeah, I can see. I can see.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Do you have a job? - What do you mean?
I mean, do you have a job? What do you do?
I'm a brand ambassador.
That's bullshit.
Have you ever had a real job
where someone actually paid you for something?
- Yeah, I've had a real job. - Yeah? What?
Yeah. I was a product distribution specialist.
What the hell is that? What did you distribute?
Hmm?
Lots of stuff, man.
Trip Dips, Awesome Blossoms,
baby backs, ranch. Lot of ranch.
Are you talking about Chili's?
Yeah.
- You were a waiter at Chili's? - Yeah.
- Cool, huh? - And what happened to that job?
They had no vision.
Oh, Chili's had no vision? Wow.
- Yeah, they couldn't keep up, man. - Yeah, that's great. Okay.
It wasn't the right environment for someone like me,
with my talent and my ideas. You know what I'm saying.
- Can I ask you a huge favor? - Yeah.
Shut up! Okay?
I don't want to get to know you at all.
I don't care about your likes or dislikes
- or your favorite Netflix show. - Umbrella Academy.
I don't care!
I really enjoy the silence, so please just shut up.
I'm gonna close my eyes now.
Do not wake me up until we get there.
Start the car, dude!
Start the car! Start the car!
Get that boy!
- Get back here! - Yeah, shoot! Shoot!
What the...
Get back here with that goat!
Get him! Get him!
- What the hell?! - Pick it up. Pick it up.
What are you doing? Start the car, man!
- We got to get out of here! - Oh, my God!
- It's okay. - Oh, my God!
Holy shit!
Jesus!
Son of a bitch!
- What the hell was that?! - I know.
I saved you, man. I've never saved someone's life before.
What the hell were you doing there?!
- I was taking the tour. - What?!
I saw this little guy, and he was looking at me like,
"Asher, you got to get me out of here, man."
You were taking a tour?
- Why were you taking a tour? - I saw the sign.
"World-famous goat farm."
Get it out of the car.
What are you talking about?
- Get it out of the car! - What? No.
Get it out of the car now!
No.
Oh, no? Okay.
Hey! Hey!
What are you doing, man?
What are you doing? You're-you're scaring him.
- Get it out of the car. - No, I'm not...
- Get it out of the car now! - What's your problem, man?
- Out! Get it out! - You get out.
Get it out!
- What the hell, man? - Bitch!
Get off me!
Who are you?!
What do you mean, man?
I'm your brother.
Wait a minute.
300 miles?
When we left, it was 240 miles.
Yeah, so?
So, how are we even farther away?!
- I told you, I saw the sign. - Oh, my God!
Where else are you gonna see goats roaming around freely?
I don't know. All of Mexico!
Hey. Stop bragging about Mexico, okay?
I get it... it's a super cool place.
Now, get in the car!
Come here, baby. Come here, baby.
It's okay. Brothers fight. Brothers fight.
It's okay. Brothers fight. I know.
You coming or what, Bubba?
- Maybe you shouldn't take any more naps. - Just drive.
So, who is this Evaristo guy?
Uh, I don't know.
Where are we? What is this place?
I think this is my dad's factory.
Oh, you think it is?
Yeah, I think he used to run this place.
I'm glad you know him so well.
Hey, no, dude, that's for Evaristo.
Shut up.
- What the hell is this? - Huh.
Maybe it's the key to his heart.
What?
Señor Renato, come on.
Come on, Señor Renato. Come on.
What?
I named him after you so you guys would bond.
Do not call him that, okay?
Renatito. Renatito.
Yes, that a boy.
So, what are you planning on doing with Bambi here, huh?
What are you talking about?
He's family now, man, and he needs to feel close to you.
You need to show him that you care about him.
I do not care about him.
Dude.
He can hear you, man.
- Just put him in the car. - No.
Put him in the car now!
Engineering, line two.
What does this factory make, anyway?
- High-end remote controls. - Oh, of course.
God forbid you guys get off your couch to turn on the TV.
And then you wonder why you're all fat-asses.
- I'm not a fat-ass. - You will be.
I don't think those are the remotes they make.
Oh, well, what kind, then?
Testing. Two, three, five.
How do you not know about this?
Dad tried to get me down here. It's just...
- It's not my jam. - Not your jam?
What kid doesn't love remote-control airplanes?
I don't know.
But Dad was huge into airplanes.
He loved them, man.
He bought me a remote-control plane once, you know?
And he tried to make it our thing, but I wasn't...
It was our thing. I would have killed to have this.
- Okay, well, go buy one. - You entitled little...
I'm not entitled, dick. Ow!
- Stupid... - I'm not entitled.
You guys okay?
- Yes, we're-we're fine. - Yeah, we're-we're cool.
You must be here for Evaristo.
He's been waiting for you.
He's across the street.
Ow!
"Ja-lis-co."
It's "Ha-lease-co."
It's "Ja-lis-co." There's no "H."
How you doing?
Oh, dude.
I could smoke those guys.
Just try to behave, okay?
Hey. Got any citrusy brews?
That son of a gun.
Sit down.
To Flavio Murguia.
A great man.
Listen, Flavio sent us all the way here
to get some answers, so...
You were always a fiery kid.
Do... do I know you?
No, but I know you.
That was us in San Miguel.
When the economy collapsed,
my cousin called us about jobs here.
So, you were the one who convinced him to come here.
No. Look, your dad tried
to stay with you as long as he could,
but when there were no jobs left,
Flavio no longer had a choice.
And saying goodbye to you was
the hardest thing he ever had to do.
See, coming to America,
we didn't have many choices:
picking fruit or working in the factories.
Back home, your dad was a skilled engineer,
but that didn't matter here.
Let's go! Let's go!
They just wanted cheap foreign labor.
People willing to work longer hours for half the pay.
And to work in conditions
that no one else would.
- ¿Papá? - Mijo.
Because he knew he would have to
work many years to earn enough to be able to come back home.
He knew he had to find a faster way.
A faster way to earn money.
He knew what the factory was making would soon be obsolete.
So he took a chance.
It was a big risk if he got caught.
But she was different than the others.
She believed great ideas could come from anyone.
Hey, where are you going?
I got to... I got to go to the bathroom.
Relax.
So, what happened next?
Your father finally found an ally,
and soon, they found an ally in each other.
Together, they created
a whole new product for the company.
After years of struggling,
Flavio would soon be able to come back home.
And to celebrate their success,
he took her to the one place where he felt safe and welcome.
But he knew he made a grave mistake.
If he had stayed here a little bit longer,
he could have saved all the money he needed.
But that didn't matter to him anymore.
The only thing that mattered to him
was getting back to you.
Then what happened? He never came back.
That's all I can tell you.
Oh, come on, please. I-I-I came all the way here.
- Please. - But your father did say...
...that you would figure it out.
All right, my brothers, $500 I sink this shot...
...right now.
Come on, please. Evaristo, por favor,
just-just tell me, who is this Eloise?
Eloise is everything you're looking for.
Hey, dude. Help me. Help me.
Aah! Ah, shit!
Hey!
- Hey, what happened? - I was hot. I couldn't miss.
- Yeah, well, you did, right? - No, they're just overreacting.
Just spot me $500. Double or nothing.
I'll win it back right now.
- What? Give me the keys. - For what?
I left the wallet in... Give me the keys.
See ya.
Oh...
Go! Go!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
You're welcome.
- Are you kidding me right now? - Dude, I saved you 500 bucks.
I should kill you! You're so...
- s-stupid! - Hey! Easy!
What is wrong with you?
What-what do you mean?
What is wrong with you?! You're a nutcase!
No, I'm not.
There's nothing wrong with me.
Yeah, okay. Whatever.
Well, did you find out who Eloise is?
Don't talk to me.
Look, I'm sorry, man.
I just get excited, you know?
Yo! They got Animal Planet!
Renatito's loving this shit!
Hey. It's gonna be okay.
It'll be okay.
Hey.
What's up?
Um... listen, um...
you're a good guy, okay?
You have some issues, of course, but...
I already know what you're gonna say.
Oh. Really?
What am I gonna say?
Listen, I... I didn't mean what I said.
Don't give up on me, man.
What do you mean?
Everybody always gives up on me.
It's exactly what Dad did, and now you're doing it, too?
Come on, man, we're brothers.
No, we're not brothers, okay?
I... That's what I'm trying to tell you.
This is a very personal trip for me,
- and I cannot do it with you, man. - Please.
- Like... - I promise, I won't annoy you anymore, okay?
I won't be weird. I promise.
Let me prove to you that I can do this.
Whatever... whatever brother you want me to be,
that's the brother I'm gonna be for you.
Just...
don't ditch me, man.
Okay.
Okay, let's see what's the next stop on the trip.
Yes!
You're not gonna regret this, man.
This doesn't mean I like you now.
- Okay? - No, no, I know.
Okay. Okay.
"Mr. B."
What is this? It's a claim ticket.
Yeah, for a pawnshop.
I cannot even look at you like that.
- Oh. Sorry. - Do not, okay?
Jesus.
Okay, it says:
"P.S. I put all my effort into going home."
- Yes. - "I made it okay."
"I made it okay." "I made it okay."
"I-I put all my effort in-into going home.
I made it okay."
Bam!
There are six Mr. B's Pawnshops in America.
We're just gonna have to go to every single one of them.
- That's your plan? - Yes.
Okay.
Uh, "I made it okay."
Maybe... maybe that's an abbreviation.
"OK."
O-Oklahoma.
Yes! Google pawnshops in Oklahoma.
- What? - There's a Mr. B's Pawnshop
in Oklahoma City.
I knew it.
So, who's this Emilio guy?
Anger management therapist?
He's ten, okay?
He's...
He's my fiancée's son.
What?
What? What's so funny?
You're gonna be a father?
Yeah. So?
- What? - Oh, my God, man.
You're gonna be the worst father.
You don't know me, okay? Shut up.
I know that you're kind of a dick
and you have zero empathy.
I have lots of empathy, okay?
All right, let's play a game.
No, I don't want to play any games.
Yeah, we're gonna play a game. Come on.
I'm Emilio, and I'm having trouble
with the kids at school.
Dad, they keep picking on me and calling me names.
What do I do?
This is very... I'm not playing this.
This is stupid.
I prefer your horrible music to this.
Okay, okay. Whatever. Ah.
Listen, Emilio. If you don't want people to pick on you,
then just don't give them a reason to make fun of you.
There you go.
- Wow. Goose bumps. - Yeah.
Goose bumps from the compassion.
- Whatever. - That was loving, man.
- You have no idea. - That was...
Wha-What do you know? What do you know
about parenthood, man? You have no idea.
- I'm gonna bring out the big guns. - Yeah, whatever.
What the hell is that? Why do you have a puppet?
- You don't? - No, I don't.
I'm not seven, okay?
Okay, well, you should get one.
It really helps externalize emotions.
Oh, yeah? Who told you that?
Rebecca, my online therapist.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Is it working for you?
Well, just listen, okay?
This is Emilio, all right?
Papá.
Math is super hard. I never get the answers right,
and the kids call me estúpido.
So, what, my-my kid is Russian now?
Come on. Take care of him.
Okay, listen, Emilio.
- No, no, to the puppet. - Okay, listen, Emilio.
The only reason kids are making fun of you
is because you let them, okay?
And math is all about practice.
You just need to buckle up and do the work. That's it.
But will you help me do the work, Papá?
No! No, you-you need to learn to do everything by yourself
because no one's gonna help you.
No one is gonna help you ever.
Hey, stop. No.
¡Papá!! Ay, no!
Wow. Your stepson was just hit by a semi.
I don't care.
You excited to meet our sister?
Shut up.
Are you Eloise?
Uh, hi.
Uh, Flavio Murguia sent us.
Mm, great.
He doesn't like you, either.
Excuse me. Sir?
Your dad's had me hold on to this for a while now.
Said one day somebody would come for it.
This is my father's wedding ring.
I'm here to see that he pawned it off?
No.
You're here to understand how it got here in the first place.
- Did you know our dad? - I did.
He was an easy man to like.
We've stayed in touch over the years.
Oh. I'm glad to see that he kept in touch with you.
Listen, it's been a long ride,
and I really need some answers, so...
Maybe you ought to learn to shut your mouth
and listen to the story.
Ooh-wee, I like this guy.
Must've been at least 20 years ago now.
One day, that front door opens,
and this man comes stumbling in all beat to hell.
Hey, hey.
You looking for trouble, you've come to the wrong place.
You understand?
No, no, no. I'm sorry, sir.
Please. I-I'm not here to rob you.
I just need enough for a bus ticket, please.
I-I'll sell you everything I have.
Okay? Just take it.
I can't sell any of this. 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.
Bus leaves in 15 minutes.
That bus stopped here in Oklahoma City.
Get the money.
Here, go.
Where you going?
But then they took the thing
that he cared about the most.
His only way home.
The ring. I can sell the ring.
No. No, no, no.
Please.
I beg you.
Okay, look.
I'll make a deal with you, all right?
I will personally buy the ring from you.
Just me.
And I will hold on to it for you for 90 days.
Okay? I promise I won't sell it.
No one.
Promise.
You come back and bring me the money...
the-the same price as the ring, okay?
And it's yours.
And once he finally got all the way to El Paso,
it was just a long walk home to the border.
You're about to enter Mexico.
Hold it right there, sir. Don't move.
Hands in the air. Hands in the air, sir.
Please.
I-I'm just trying to get back to my family.
- Why is there blood on you? - Whose blood is that?
Please, I-I just want to see my son.
I said keep your hands up.
I'm coming for you, boy!
What you looking at?
They put your dad in general population.
Your father was stuck there.
No one was coming for him,
because no one even knew he was there.
And he was in there a long time.
And that's when he got sick.
Real sick.
Dump him. Dump him.
This is the second time
I've had to hold on to this ring.
It belongs to you now.
But... but what happened after that?
Why didn't he come back?
I'm done with this.
Yo, what are you doing, man?
I'm going home. I'm done with this.
Dude, you can't leave now. Look.
- Eloise. - Oh, wow.
Don't you want to know how the story ends?
Oh, I know how it ends. I know how it ends.
He doesn't come back.
He cheats on me and my mom with some American woman,
has you and starts a whole new life here.
- That's it. - No, that can't be the whole story.
Come on, don't you want the real answer?
I got the answer, okay?!
He forgot about me.
That's it. He didn't die.
Everything we're hearing about was 25 years ago.
What was he doing since then?
Because he-he certainly wasn't thinking about me.
That whole story was about him trying
- to get back to you. He didn't... - Oh, whatever.
- He didn't forget about you. - Excuses, excuses, man.
I don't care, okay? I-I have a life to go back to.
I-I have a family.
What's that supposed to mean?
That means that you're not my family.
Okay? You're not my brother. You mean nothing to me.
Move, please. Move!
Hey, don't bully him. He's...
Move, Asher! Jesus.
Hey, I meant what I said.
You're gonna be a terrible father.
And you know what else? You're a terrible son.
Yeah, have a nice life.
So, where you from?
Hi. I'm gonna take the first flight to Mexico City
or whatever gets me the hell out of this goddamn country.
You're gonna have to try that again.
Is that how you speak to your mother?
I'm getting married tomorrow, okay?
And you better watch your tone when you're talking to me.
Okay.
Now apologize.
Fuck. What?
Apologize.
I... I apologize.
I apologize. I apologize.
- Now, passport, please. - Yes.
Whatever you need, ma'am. Whatever you need.
Shit.
I... I left it in the car.
But I-I have a photo
of my passport in my phone here.
I would really love to help you, but, honey,
you ain't flying nowhere without a passport.
I need to get into that flight.
Please, please help me out here. Please.
All right. Here's what you do.
- Yeah. - Take out your phone.
- Okay. - Dial this number.
- 1-800... - Yeah?
I don't give a shit!
Find someone who cares.
- Next customer. - Shit!
I can't, I can't, I...
Assholes Anonymous. How may I help you?
You're very funny. That was very funny.
Sometimes you're very funny.
Listen, uh, I have a small problem here, and, um,
I...
I really need your... I really need your help.
You're gonna have to speak up.
I can't... No, I can't hear you.
I said I... I really need your help.
Can you hear him? I can't hear him.
I really need your help, man.
Okay, uh, I'm sorry.
Okay? I-I... I owe you an apology.
The things I said back there, I didn't mean it, okay?
I'm sorry, and...
I'm actually surprised you-you come to pick me up.
What are you talking about?
What I'm... what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
Well, why did you come pick me up?
'Cause, man,
we're brothers.
And don't you worry, bro.
We're gonna get you to El Paso,
and we're gonna re-sneak you across that border.
You'll be back for your wedding in no time.
Ain't that right, Renatito?
You want something?
Seaweed crisps.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Hey.
Hi.
Look at this freak show.
Hey. That your dog, or is you just playing with it?
It's okay. Don't worry.
- Don't worry. - Hey, you deaf, boy? Hey.
They got the same calves.
- You deaf? - What you doing with that goat?
Oh, that's love right there.
Aw, aren't they cute?
Run, boy, run.
- Looks like he's gonna cry. - Hey. Hey.
Hey!
Freak.
Oh!
What happened back there?
What were those guys saying to you?
It was nothing, man.
Didn't look like nothing.
You shouldn't let people treat you like that, you know?
- It doesn't bother me. - Oh, really?
- No. - Okay.
People always make fun of other people
because they think they're different.
But they're not.
I'm not different.
Well, being different is not a bad thing, you know?
Nah, I know.
All right.
Oh.
You didn't open this.
We always open 'em together.
- Can I? - Yeah.
Huh. Saint Mary's Convent.
- Look at this. - Whoa.
Dude, do you think our sister's a nun?
Hey, wait. What does that make us?
Um, nothing.
Oh.
El Paso, Texas.
El Paso?
Come on, dude. Come on.
Let's see if you can take us there in time.
Watch this.
What's that? What's happening?
What's happening?
We're out of gas.
- Are you kidding me right now? - Hmm-mm.
We are in the mid... That was your only
responsibility, dude.
Why are you laughing? Are you stupid?
I love watching you freak out, man.
This is why I keep extra fuel in the back.
I'm pretty responsible, man.
Oh, Renatito, no.
Renatito, no.
- That is a naughty boy. - Ah!
- Oh, my God, I knew it! - Hold on.
- Hold on?!
I'm gonna kill that thing when you're not looking, okay?!
Don't bully him, man.
I'm not joking! I'm gonna kill that thing!
We eat those things in Mexico. They're very tasty!
- Hey, he can hear you, asshole. - You stupid...
Okay, okay.
You're stronger. You're stronger.
I'm sorry I punched you, okay?
Ah, it's all right. Brothers fight, man.
- That's how we show love. - Don't start with that, please.
Hey, look.
Oh, my God. Oh...
Please have a phone.
Jesus.
Yes!
Oh, shit. It's death.
"It's death"?
I mean...
it's dead. I mean it's-it's not working.
Ooh, well, what do we have here?
What are these things?
I don't know.
It smells like Grandma.
It's moonshine.
It's-it's pure alcohol.
Oh, keep it away from me.
One sip of pinot, and whoo-wee, I'm out.
That's it.
We can make ethanol out of this.
All we got to do is purify it,
and then we can use that to fuel your car.
See? You are a great engineer, man.
Stop doubting yourself.
Okay. That's it.
Okay. Okay, here we go.
Why are you sweating so much?
I'm a little nervous.
Okay, give me that.
Where'd you... where'd you find these, anyway?
In the creepy drawer next to the animal teeth.
Okay. Listen.
We need to be very fast with this, okay?
None of the ethanol vapors can get out.
- You got it? You got it? - I got it.
- The ethanol. The vapors. - Yes.
It's gonna be very strong, okay?
It's pure alcohol, so please don't inhale it.
You don't need to hold your breath.
- No, I know. - Okay.
- Are you ready for this? - Yeah, yes. Yes.
- Okay. - Don't be nervous.
- I'm not. No, I'm... - Just concentrate, okay?
- Yeah, I'm excited. - Okay.
- And go. - Yes. Yes.
Tie it off. Tie it off. Quickly.
Dude, what are you doing?!
- Jesus! Tie it off! Tie it off! - Dude, that is...
- Hey, that is strong, man. - Yes, it's-it's strong
- because it's pure alcohol! - Oh, my God. Are you hot?
What are you doing?!
- I'm super hot. - What are you doing?!
What are you doing?! Tie it off!
- Tie it off, you idiot! - Oh, man.
Oh, shit.
What are you doing?
- Control yourself! Jesus! - I'll get the next one.
Oh, shit!
Oh, my God, look at it.
Whoa. Very big.
It's very big.
You got us both completely wasted.
Hey. Focus.
- Don't... don't hit me. - Okay, let me do it. I got it.
- I got it. - Don't...
So, how we doing, man?
We get enough balloons or what?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, now we just got to wait for the ethanol
to cool itself, but I-I think it-it should work. Yeah.
Look at us, man.
The Murguia brothers.
Kicking ass.
Can I ask you something?
- Yeah. - What did you mean
when you said Dad gave up on you?
- That was nothing, man. - No, no, no.
I'm, uh... I'm intrigued.
It looked to me like you guys were very close.
I don't know. Dad and I never really clicked.
You know?
And then, when I was 12...
I guess he realized I wasn't the son he really wanted.
And then, when I dropped out of college and...
messed up with all those jobs,
Dad was like,
"That's it. I'm done with you."
Then he asked me if I wanted to go on a road trip,
and I was like,
"Yeah, I love road trips. Of course."
Then he took me to this...
...mm, place.
These guys, they put me in a room.
But I could hear Dad arguing with the doctor.
He kept saying,
"No, there's something wrong with him.
There has to be something wrong with him."
I don't know.
Maybe there is.
There's nothing wrong with you.
No, I know.
You know. It's just...
It's-it's kind of like
what you've been feeling, though, you know?
Like he ditched us.
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought...
I thought, if I came here, I could just
look him in the eye and ask him...
why.
Why didn't he come back to us, hmm?
That's why we got to see Eloise.
Yeah.
She's gonna give you that answer.
I would love to, man, but I can't.
I'm getting married tomorrow, you know, so I have no time.
Maybe if I hadn't lost my passport.
Yeah, I shouldn't have trashed it.
What?
I shouldn't have trashed it back at the motel.
You're kidding me right now.
No.
You're not kidding me right now?
I promised Dad I'd get you all the way to Eloise.
- You stupid... Who... - You threatened to go home.
- I... - Who do you think you are?
You stupid man.
You're messing with my life now.
You're-you're sitting here wondering
why everyone gives up on you.
This is why, asshole.
You are a fuckup!
Hey. Um...
look, you are totally right to be sore at me, man.
You know, I-I-I just got so caught up
in us doing this thing together,
I-I didn't think about your side of it, and...
I'm really sorry, man.
- I mean that. - It's fine.
- I'm over it. - Are you sure?
- Yeah. - Because that-that wasn't cool.
Yeah. I just want to go home.
All right, well, let me...
let me just use the bathroom, all right?
Yeah. Please just hurry up, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Don't judge me.
Hey, man, is it just me,
or is the door stuck?
I need help, dude. Dude?
That's weird.
Dude?
Yo, where'd he go, bro?
There you are. I was worried you...
Hi.
Good evening. How are you?
I-I'm just try... I'm just trying
to-to get back to my friend.
License and registration.
Yes. Uh...
listen, Officer, this is gonna sound completely crazy to you,
but I lost my passport.
- I'm just trying to go back... - What's that smell?
Oh, that, um...
It's... it... it-it's not what you think.
- That's ethanol. - Step out of the car, sir.
You can give me a Breathalyzer.
I'm not a cop. I'm border patrol.
Now, step out of the car.
Listen, I've seen a lot of TV shows,
and when the Mexican steps out of the vehicle, it...
Get out of the car now!
Okay, yes. I'm not resisting. I'm not resisting!
Please, okay, this is a mistake.
- Is there anyone I can talk to? - That would be the judge.
Well, then just deport me.
Don't you people love doing that?
Murguia!
You're free to go.
Let's go.
Dear Renato,
You were right.
I guess I do screw up everyone's lives.
And I'm sorry I screwed up yours.
The cops called me,
told me a Mexican guy with huge ears stole my car,
but I cleared everything up for you.
I really hope it gets you back home in time for your wedding.
Your little brother, Asher.
How'd you find me?
What-what happened to your face?
Who did that to you?
Yeah.
It was kind of crazy.
It turns out that cabin actually belonged
to those guys from the rest stop.
You're talking about those...
those rednecks from the gas station?
Yeah. They-they remembered me, too.
Oh, man, we need to get some ice for your face.
- No, I'm fine. - No, we need to get some ice.
I'm fine.
Wait.
Where's Renatito?
Yeah...
I got out of there by the skin of my teeth.
I couldn't save him.
What do you mean, you...
He's still there?
- With those guys? - Hey, look.
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.
Bullshit.
I didn't pay for the doughnuts.
Dude, you're never gonna make it to your wedding.
I don't get it. You always said he was just a dumb goat.
Hey. He's not a dumb goat.
Now you're talking!
Goat sliced up. Tasty.
Yeah, I like it! Yes, sir!
Gonna have some nice goat stew, too.
Whoa!
Shh.
What the...?
You...
Ethanol, baby.
Yes!
All right.
Are you ready to meet Eloise?
Yeah.
Maybe our sister's married to Jesus.
Well, at least someone made it to their wedding.
Can I help you?
Uh, yes. Uh, we're here to see Eloise.
Well, there goes that trip.
Wait here.
All right.
Oh, God.
She even has Dad's nose.
How I prayed for a sister.
Eloise, it's so great to finally hold you.
I'm not Eloise.
I'm Sister Marisa.
Oh. Well, where's Eloise?
If you want to see Eloise,
you need to give me the combination.
- What-what do you mean? - What combination?
We have specific instructions.
Anyone asking about Eloise must have the code to the safe.
Goddamn it!
Dad with his goddamn riddles!
Jesus Christ!
What he means is
he's really excited.
Did Dad ever say something to you about a combination?
No.
There's-there's got to be something, you know?
Some-some clue, something we're not seeing.
Oh. I got it.
- Duh. - What?
It's my birthday.
Then it's my birthday.
Jesus, all of this for nothing!
All right, all right, all right, all right.
- All these days, all these... - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hold on. Hold on.
We can figure this out.
"Jesus said to them, 'Did you never read
in the Scriptures, the s...'" I don't know how to...
Wait. No, no, no, no, no.
Give me my... give me my passport. Give me...
Oh, God! That's... Stop it! Stop it!
I-I... I can't do this anymore.
- I need to go. - What?
- Yeah. - Come on, man. We're so close.
We are so close.
I-I'll never make it home in-in time.
I need to go. I'm sorry.
I totally understand if-if you want to stay, but I can't.
I'm sorry, man.
Ah, at least we saw life through Dad's eyes.
- Yeah. - As he used to say,
"It's always good to look at things
from a different perspective."
Wait.
What does this say?
- Eloise. - Mm.
And from a different perspective?
Son of a bitch.
I hope this is recording and I'm not just sitting here
talking to myself like an idiot.
If you've made it this far, you're near the end.
I hope it's been a fun trip for you both.
I apologize for the long journey.
And now that you've heard a lot of things,
I want you to hear the rest from me.
The first thing you should know is...
...I've not been a good man.
I feel like all I've ever done all my life is
hurt the ones I love the most.
Now, I'm not asking for your forgiveness...
...but you deserve to know the truth about everything.
That night, outside the prison,
I knew I was about to die.
But then, I swear...
...I saw angels above me.
The sisters said I was barely conscious.
I was so sick,
they took care of me for months.
I owe my life to them.
And then, finally,
I could go home.
I made it all the way to the border.
I was so close to home,
but then, at that moment,
I got this feeling.
Uh, something inside me
just couldn't let me cross over for good
until I apologized to her.
I had no idea how my life was about to change.
This baby was in danger.
I could never blame her for not accepting my apology.
But I already went through the pain of leaving one son behind.
I couldn't do it to another.
Flavio.
This was all my fault,
not hers.
You have to realize
your mother was just trying to protect you.
And I thought it would be easier for you
if you just slowly...
...forgot about me.
I should have done more.
I should have just found a way to come see you.
Ay, Renato, mijo.
I want you to know how special you were to me.
You were the love of my life.
And I have to live with this guilt every day.
But you,
you are the one who has suffered the most.
In some kind of way, I... I tried to make up for it
by putting all my energy into you, Asher.
I wanted to be such a good father to you,
but I failed you, too, didn't I?
In my small, simple mind,
I tried to recapture with you what I had with Renato.
But, Asher, you were so...
unique.
And I didn't know how to connect with you.
So, instead, I pulled away...
for far too long.
Asher,
my sweet, beautiful boy,
I am so sorry it took me so long
to see there was never anything wrong with you.
I want you to know
I never gave up on you.
Never.
Asher, you have such a caring heart.
This world needs you so much.
You're going to do so much good with everybody you touch.
I made both of you feel
like you were not the son I wanted,
but in truth...
...I was not the father you deserved.
And I know there's nothing I can do to make up for it...
...but I still felt I had to try.
So, when life decided to throw me one last curveball...
...I decided to put this whole trip together.
To put my two boys together.
Because my hope is
that even though it might seem like I'm gone,
we could still do this together.
My biggest regret is not being able
to share this final journey with you.
And even though I'm no longer here,
please know I am always with you
and I am always watching over you both.
Wait.
What-what last journey?
What is he talking about?
With Eloise.
- What? - What? S...
So, there is an Eloise?
Would you like to see her?
What are you thinking about?
The way I left him in the hospital.
I didn't even say goodbye to him.
I didn't... I didn't even...
- tell him... - He knew.
He knew.
Yeah.
Well... you got a wedding to catch.
- Yeah. Yes, I do. - Yeah. Yeah.
Thanks, Asher.
For everything.
Fly safe, amigo.
I know.
Hey!
What's wrong? What's going on?
Uh...
We need to get you a suit.
I can't get married without my brothers.
If you were to ask me now
if a father and son should be best friends,
I would say...
of course they should.
Ooh.
