1:28:02
This is the bookend
to the movie. OK?

1:28:03
At the end of the film,
he walks towards camera.

1:28:05
We don't follow him.
It's all in suggestion.

1:28:07
You'll see.
1:28:08
And I got this little girl--
this little Mexican girl--

1:28:10
to shout out, "Javier! Javier!"
like this--

1:28:11
I shouldn't have told you.
1:28:13
This is that improvised part.
1:28:15
- Remember, Nicky?
- Yeah!

1:28:16
This is my speech where you see
that I have a heart, you know?

1:28:19
It's not just the money.
1:28:20
Oh, I didn't see this.
1:28:21
Wanting to do this
for my clients.

1:28:23
They taught us at school...
1:28:25
how to handle a client
who wants a full release.

1:28:29
Polite, but no, thanks.
1:28:33
The first time, I say, "No"...
1:28:36
and the woman--she cried.
1:28:38
Shame.
1:28:40
And I felt bad.
1:28:42
And so, the next time it happened,
I thought, "Who am I to say no?

1:28:46
"This is America.
There's no church here.

1:28:50
"There's only the body
and its dreams."

1:28:52
His words. His words.
I didn't tell him.

1:28:55
"The body and its dreams."
It's genius, man.

1:28:58
Yeah.
1:28:59
And you can tell
by looking at these women...

1:29:01
what those dream are.
1:29:03
Their lives are so ordinary.
1:29:06
Not good. Not bad.
1:29:08
Medium.
1:29:10
They want something more.
1:29:11
You know, not just a touch.
1:29:15
A secret.
1:29:17
A secret that makes them
feel shame.

1:29:20
This is good for them.
1:29:23
It makes them somebody
other than what people see.

1:29:27
And that is why I do it.
1:29:31
And the tips are good.
1:29:33
Makes you like me, right?
1:29:35
Because, you know,
I'm helping them.

1:29:37
Maybe. I don't know.
1:29:38
Where's that part--
Oh, here.

1:29:43
To his clients, Javier is a god.
1:29:46
Strong. All-knowing.
Dangerous but safe.

1:29:50
But in his own life as an immigrant
in this country...

1:29:53
all the power
is in someone else's hands.

1:29:56
- La Migra!
- La Migra!

1:29:59
- Watch out!
- La Migra!
