Enjoy your meal.
Hello. Enjoy your meal.
Here you go.
Blanca, what are you doing here? I thought you were getting out.
I did, too.
They took me all over the place, and it was a setup, from the riot charges.
Hurry up! I'm hungry!
Shut up, I'm having a reunion here.
Hold on, hold on. I don't understand.
I'll explain later. But...
I need you to find Diablo.
Have you seen my suitcase?
Where are you?
Where are you, my loves?
Where could they be?
You're not in the closet.
Mom,
have you seen any children around here?
Children? What children?
When I find you,
you're gonna get a big...
hug!
What's wrong, sweetie?
She doesn't want you to go.
Come here.
We're gonna talk.
We're gonna get this out of here,
and then we're gonna make space for Mama. Everybody over here. Everybody over here.
Look, I don't want to go either.
Then why are you?
We talked about this. I can't find a job here.
In New York, I'll work hard, and I'll be able to save money.
We'll have our own apartment, and you'll go to good schools,
and we'll have a better life.
And you know what? We won't all have to sleep in the same bed.
But I like sleeping in the same bed.
I don't. You always kick me.
That's 'cause you scratch me with your toenails.
Hey. In New York, I'll buy you bunk beds.
-Really? -I get the top.
See? It'll be a lot of fun.
We'll be apart only for a while.
and then we'll be together again.
I know this is hard to understand,
but I'm doing this for you.
I would never ever, ever leave you if I didn't have to.
Hi!
-Are you finished? -Yes.
It's so hot. I thought we could splurge and take a cab home today.
Yes! We can take a cab!
Okay, good. You shouldn't be walking so much in this heat.
You're right.
Hey, let's stop by that Thai massage place where they do those amazing shoulder rubs.
What's going on? Did you win a scratch-off or something?
No, it's better than that.
Here. Take my picture.
I want to remember this day.
-A picture? -Yes.
But look, can you see the sign?
-That sign? -Yes. How's that?
Give me a moment. Let's see.
-Make sure the sign is in it. -Yes, I got the sign.
Good! Thank you.
-Guess what. -What?
This is going to be my store.
Mr. George wants to retire, and he offered to make me a part owner.
So he's just giving you a part of his business?
I don't understand.
No, I buy half now, and eventually I can buy the other half.
But that must cost thousands of dollars!
You don't have that kind of money.
I'll use what I've been saving,
and he said I can make payments out of my salary for the rest.
I thought you were saving that money for an apartment.
What about the girls?
It'll take longer,
but I'll be able to afford an apartment in a better neighborhood.
No offense.
There are good people in my neighborhood. Hard workers.
I know, I'm one of them! But it's not the best for kids.
Now I can afford a place in a really safe neighborhood with a great school.
That's not going to be right now, Gloria.
In another year. Or what, two? Three? How much longer?
Kids don't understand "safe neighborhood" or "great school."
They want their mom.
What use am I to them if I can't give them a better life?
I thought you would be happy for me.
You know what? You shouldn't make this decision right now.
Why not?
Lourdes, why not? Because I'm pregnant? Yes, because you're pregnant.
And because you picked another man who wouldn't stick around
-to provide for his kids! -That's my fault?
Are you coming?
I think you need to get off your feet.
I'll walk.
I know what's best for me.
And my family.
Mom, blessings.
And God bless you, too.
Are the girls all packed?
I took the day off tomorrow so I can pick them up at the airport.
Gloria, I don't know how to tell you this, but...
the girls have decided they don't want to go.
What's wrong? Are they nervous about flying?
I'm sure they're scared about making new friends.
-I know it's a big change. -No...
It's more than that.
Okay, let me talk to Ceci.
If you're big enough to decide this...
you're big enough to tell her yourself.
Hello.
Ceci? What's wrong?
You're gonna love it here, I promise. You don't need to be afraid.
I'm not.
Then what's this about?
I know it took me longer than I said it would.
But everything's going to be okay.
And I can't wait for you and Ellie to meet your little brother.
We're not coming, Gloria.
Yes, you are, Ceci.
You don't get to decide. I'm your mother.
-Since when? -Since forever.
Everything I've done here, I've done for you.
I had to leave you to give you opportunities.
-And now-- -No.
You didn't have to leave. That was your choice.
And this is mine and Elena's.
