under the cornfield.

And El Californio said exactly
:16:12
what he wanted written
on his grave marker:

:16:14
Don Alejandro Vazquez,
El Californio.

:16:18
Died 1934.
:16:21
When I was born here this
was Mexico. And where I lie,

:16:25
this is still...
:16:27
Mexico.
:16:38
My mother kept her promise.
:16:40
And when my brother Chucho
was old enough, she set off

:16:44
on her long journey home. But
the rains came early that year.

:16:48
She had gone too far
to turn back.

:17:05
Please, Sir.
I must get across.

:17:08
The water is very high.
:17:11
I have to keep going.
I can't turn back. Please.

:17:13
Wait until later in the year,
when the water is lower.

:17:17
I'll never be able
to make it here again. Never.

:17:20
Please.
I have to get across.

:17:24
Please.
:17:26
All right.
:17:29
Come on.
:17:38
Careful.
:17:39
Hold on to me, Chucho.
:17:43
The spirit of the river
is evil and powerful.

:17:55
An owl...
:17:59
in the daytime.
