00:00:00This is Sam.
00:00:02Hello, Sam.
00:00:03We just adopted.
00:00:05And we thought it would take a little longer than it did.
00:00:07Hello.
00:00:08And we would have time to save up for his arrival, but...
00:00:11Okay, not a problem, not a problem.
00:00:13Hello there, handsome.
00:00:15Yes, you are.
00:00:17You're welcome.
00:00:18Um...
00:00:20Okay, these are the forms that I will need you to fill out initially.
00:00:24And, um, just give me one second.
00:00:26I will be right back with you.
00:00:28Thank you so much.
00:00:29My pleasure.
00:00:33He loved you.
00:00:36Okay.
00:00:53Pete?
00:01:02Pete?
00:01:17What you doing?
00:01:20Just, um...
00:01:22I'm just backing this stuff away.
00:01:26You know, uh, a couple came in the office today.
00:01:29They just adopted this, uh, beautiful, beautiful baby boy.
00:01:32Yeah?
00:01:33You know, I know we talked about adoption back in the beginning when we were first having troubles,
00:01:37but, uh, I don't know.
00:01:38Today it was just...
00:01:41It really seemed like a possibility.
00:01:46Yeah, I don't know.
00:01:48It would be a baby.
00:01:50It just wouldn't be the same.
00:01:52You mean you couldn't...
00:01:54You couldn't love a little baby just because it wasn't ours?
00:01:57It's just different, you know?
00:01:59It would be...
00:02:01It would be different.
00:02:03That's all I'm saying.
00:02:06Well, then, I guess we're just stuck, aren't we?
00:02:11You don't want to do any more fertility treatments.
00:02:14You won't consider adoption, so I guess we're just stuck.
00:02:17So now this is all my fault?
00:02:18No.
00:02:19I come home late from work every night.
00:02:21It's an effort for me to get out of bed every morning.
00:02:24I cry at the drop of a hat for no reason whatsoever.
00:02:27I am tired of seeing you be disappointed.
00:02:30I'm tired of feeling like in some way I have failed.
00:02:36I can't do this.
00:02:38Something's got to change here.
00:02:41Because I can't do this anymore.
00:02:50I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rattle you.
00:02:53You working late again?
00:02:55Yeah, it's the Stevenson project.
00:02:57I'm concerned about the reinforcements in the concrete panels.
00:03:00I just want to run the numbers again.
00:03:02So how's that lovely wife of yours?
00:03:04Good. Good. She's good.
00:03:06You know, Pete, it's not about her.
00:03:09It's about you.
00:03:11It's about you.
00:03:13It's about you.
00:03:15It's about you.
00:03:17You know, Pete, it's none of my business,
00:03:20but this is the fourth night this week you've been here.
00:03:22You're practically living here.
00:03:24And not just that.
00:03:26I noticed you've been a little hard on your team lately.
00:03:28Hmm?
00:03:30Late on your deadlines?
00:03:32Distracted?
00:03:34Everything's not fine.
00:03:36It's, um...
00:03:39It's this whole baby thing.
00:03:41Still no luck?
00:03:43No.
00:03:45I'm selfish because I don't want to keep trying.
00:03:47And to be perfectly honest with you,
00:03:50we just can't afford it anymore.
00:03:52And now there's a whole adoption issue.
00:03:58I don't know. Maybe she's right.
00:04:00Maybe we are just stuck.
00:04:02Um...
00:04:04Maybe you need a little time off.
00:04:06Go and have some fun again.
00:04:08Take a trip.
00:04:10Rediscover a little romance.
00:04:12Yeah, that'd be great, but we just can't afford it.
00:04:14Tell you what.
00:04:16You know that time-sharing mine down in San Marcos?
00:04:18Yeah.
00:04:20Why don't you take it for a week? It's right on the beach.
00:04:22You don't have to fly.
00:04:24Just drive your brand-new shiny SUV down there.
00:04:26Do your world of good.
00:04:28Well, that's a real generous offer,
00:04:31but, um, I'm not sure that now's the right time.
00:04:34I want you to take that week.
00:04:36I want you to get away from all this noise,
00:04:38phones, traffic.
00:04:40It'll give you a chance to get this sorted out.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:45Got ourselves a deal.
00:04:50Good.
00:04:52Good.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:34I told you we should have Googled this.
00:05:36Are you sure you know where you're going?
00:05:38Yeah, down this dirt road.
00:05:44I thought you had a map.
00:05:46Yeah, I do. Unfortunately, this road isn't on it.
00:05:49Look, that first road we were on turned into this road,
00:05:52and it should have taken us back to the main highway,
00:05:54but unfortunately it brought us here, I think.
00:05:57Oh, that's great. In other words, we're lost.
00:05:59Just because I don't know where we are doesn't mean we're lost.
00:06:01That is not comforting.
00:06:03Look, look, I know this wasn't your idea,
00:06:06but here we are, on vacation in Mexico.
00:06:09So how does that change anything?
00:06:11Pete, I'm still not pregnant. You won't consider adoption.
00:06:13Nothing has changed. Only the scenery.
00:06:15Pete, watch out!
00:06:25You okay?
00:06:26I think so. Are you?
00:06:28Yeah, it's not me I'm worried about.
00:06:30It's the car.
00:06:32That doesn't sound good.
00:06:34No, it doesn't. Come on.
00:06:36What?
00:06:38What?
00:06:41Okay, I think it's time to call someone.
00:06:45No, no service.
00:06:47Great! That's just great, Pete. That's great.
00:06:49What are we supposed to do now?
00:06:51Well, I think we should find a town.
00:06:53There's got to be some civilization around here somewhere.
00:06:55There's a sign right there that says there's a town ahead, I believe.
00:06:58Okay, a town is good. A town means people,
00:07:00and people means someone who can help us.
00:07:02So come on, let's go.
00:07:04No, you... Someone should stay with the car.
00:07:06We're on the road. After all, someone could come along.
00:07:08You want to stay here by yourself?
00:07:10It'll be fine. Pete, someone's got to stay with the car.
00:07:12All of our stuff is in there.
00:07:14I don't know about this.
00:07:16Go. Right? Someone bad comes along,
00:07:18I'll hop in the car, lock the door, and roll up the windows.
00:07:20Okay?
00:07:22Okay, I'll be back as soon as I can.
00:07:24Fine. I'll be fine.
00:07:32Ow!
00:07:36Pete?
00:07:54Pete?
00:07:56Is that you?
00:07:58Please tell me that's you.
00:08:02Give me my hat!
00:08:04Give me my hat!
00:08:06Give me my hat!
00:08:12Hello.
00:08:22Hey, kid.
00:08:26Senor, are you here for the fiesta?
00:08:28The what? The fiesta.
00:08:30Where exactly is here?
00:08:32Domatina.
00:08:34Does Domatina have a mecánica?
00:08:36Un mecánico? SÃ.
00:08:38The best in all of Mexico.
00:08:40He is my brother. Come, I will show you.
00:08:42Okay.
00:08:50You said you would watch him.
00:08:52Now you're here and he's gone and I'm late to meet the priest.
00:08:54Watch him, sÃ, not follow him around.
00:08:56Oh, Domatina, if you want me to watch him, you're going to have to find him first.
00:08:58Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you going?
00:09:00The chiquitas are going to bake themselves.
00:09:02Look, if you see the boy, please tell him I'm with Father Arturo.
00:09:06Well, you can tell him yourself.
00:09:10Can you please not run away like that?
00:09:12It scares your brother.
00:09:16Hi.
00:09:20Lupillo, where you been?
00:09:22You know you can't go running off without telling me.
00:09:26Can I help you?
00:09:28My car is in the ditch at the bottom of the hill.
00:09:30I think I might have bent the drive shaft.
00:09:32Any chance you could tow it up here and take a look at it?
00:09:34Um, I think it's a little too late for that, señor.
00:09:36Too late? What do you mean?
00:09:38See for yourself.
00:09:40Whoa.
00:09:56Hi.
00:09:58They came along right after you left.
00:10:00All it cost me was a straw hat.
00:10:04Hey, how much do I owe you?
00:10:06¿Qué?
00:10:08No, señor. You owe me nothing.
00:10:10I couldn't leave her stranded on the road.
00:10:12They would not be right.
00:10:14Con permiso.
00:10:16Well, thanks.
00:10:26Can he fix it?
00:10:28I don't know. He won't even look at it
00:10:30until I find this priest and help him out.
00:10:32Priest? Help him do what?
00:10:34I don't know. Something about cables and flying children.
00:10:36No, Father Tudor won't be waiting for us.
00:10:38Okay, don't go anywhere. This isn't going to take long
00:10:40and then we're getting out of here, I swear.
00:10:42Where are we going?
00:10:48My name is Papil. What's your name?
00:10:50Pete. Pete?
00:10:52No, no, Pete. Pete. Like Peter.
00:10:54Pedro.
00:10:56Yeah, only short.
00:10:58Pete.
00:11:00Pete. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:11:02You know what, señor Pete?
00:11:04In five days, I'm going to fly.
00:11:06Really?
00:11:08Shouldn't you be in school?
00:11:10There's no school the week before the fiesta.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:14All week I was President's Day.
00:11:18Father Tudor. Father Tudor.
00:11:20Good morning, Papil.
00:11:22How was your leg today?
00:11:24Good.
00:11:26And where is Juan?
00:11:28Juan's working on my car. I had a little car trouble.
00:11:30I'm Pete Stanhope. I'll be his replacement today.
00:11:32Very well.
00:11:34Father Tudor, we must get started.
00:11:36The fiesta was only days away.
00:11:38Okay, but be careful of your leg today, okay?
00:11:40Okay. Bueno.
00:11:44But why flying children?
00:11:48Well, many years ago
00:11:50in this very plaza
00:11:52a stranger arrived
00:11:54and he was very thirsty from his long journey
00:11:56across the desert
00:11:58and somehow the people were afraid of him
00:12:00and they simply closed their doors and hid.
00:12:02And the only one who showed him any kindness
00:12:04was a small crippled boy.
00:12:06Hey, boy like me.
00:12:08And so to thank the boy for his kindness
00:12:10the stranger, who was none other than San Juan Astadio
00:12:12transformed the boy into a white dove
00:12:14who flew three times
00:12:16around the plaza
00:12:18before he came to rest at his feet.
00:12:20So when San Juan Astadio transformed the boy back
00:12:22the boy could walk.
00:12:24And over the years
00:12:26this has come to be known as
00:12:28the miracle of the Matina.
00:12:30Every year in order to honor San Juan Astadio
00:12:32we select one special boy
00:12:34and he is given the chance to fly.
00:12:36That special boy is going to be me.
00:12:38Si.
00:12:40Si.
00:12:56Smells like cinnamon.
00:13:10Cochitas. Cochitas. Cochitas.
00:13:16Listen, you take this flower here
00:13:18and then you're going to roll it.
00:13:20I want to see that going down
00:13:22softy, okay?
00:13:36There.
00:13:42Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:44I don't mean to interrupt.
00:13:46The kids are adorable.
00:13:48Well, we're making cochitas.
00:13:50Do you want to come help us?
00:13:52What are cochitas?
00:13:54Oh, it's cookies.
00:13:56Here, I'll show you some.
00:13:58Try one.
00:14:00Oh, thank you.
00:14:02Thank you so much.
00:14:04Oh my gosh, cinnamon.
00:14:06That tastes like summer.
00:14:08I would love to.
00:14:10It's just that our car broke down
00:14:12and as soon as we get it fixed
00:14:14we're going to be leaving.
00:14:18Well, if you're here tomorrow
00:14:20you can come help us then, okay?
00:14:22Okay, thanks.
00:14:24I'm sure by tomorrow we'll be gone.
00:14:26You know what?
00:14:28Things in Domatina don't necessarily happen
00:14:30the way you plan them, so
00:14:32I mean, we'll be here, okay?
00:14:34Okay.
00:14:36Adios.
00:14:38What did you do?
00:14:40What is this?
00:14:42We're not going to have enough
00:14:44for the cochitas. What are we doing?
00:14:46Shake it, shake it, shake it.
00:14:48Pepio.
00:14:50The sun is hot.
00:14:52Rest.
00:14:54First I finish this.
00:14:58He's excited about flying, huh?
00:15:00Well, it's a great honor to be chosen.
00:15:02Even more so for Pepio.
00:15:04He's a special child.
00:15:06His leg has hit down.
00:15:08Has it always been like that?
00:15:10Well, his mother and father
00:15:12passed away some time ago.
00:15:14He lives now with his brother Juan.
00:15:16But there was a tragedy.
00:15:18There was a fire.
00:15:20Juan managed to get out in time,
00:15:22but he had to jump out the window.
00:15:24He landed very hard
00:15:26and injured his spine.
00:15:28And since then he has been
00:15:30a physical challenge.
00:15:32Couldn't they have done
00:15:34a surgery or something?
00:15:36The doctors did what they could,
00:15:38but while he is not likely
00:15:40to get better, he will probably
00:15:42not be any worse.
00:15:44Still, there's much to be happy about.
00:15:46He's a happy child.
00:15:48He's well-loved by everyone.
00:15:50There's many people with two good legs
00:15:52who cannot make that claim.
00:15:54Don't just sit there like two lazy old men.
00:15:56It's not going to build by itself.
00:15:58He's right.
00:16:00It's not going to get built by itself.
00:16:02Well, listen, Padre,
00:16:04I'd love to stay here and help you,
00:16:06but I should really go check on my car.
00:16:08I'm sure it's done now.
00:16:10Yes, well, our work is done for today,
00:16:12señor Stanhope. Gracias.
00:16:14Hey, these are yours.
00:16:16Okay.
00:16:18Adios, amigo.
00:16:20Adios, señor Pete.
00:16:26So, any news?
00:16:28I constrained the bracket
00:16:30and repaired the linkage,
00:16:32but the wheel bearing and spindle,
00:16:34they're broken.
00:16:36Is it fixed? Can we leave?
00:16:38No. Mechanic's got to order some new parts.
00:16:40What?
00:16:42Yeah, looks like we're stuck here for a day,
00:16:44maybe two.
00:16:46You are kidding me.
00:16:48No, I guess we should start looking for a hotel room.
00:16:50This town even has a hotel.
00:16:52Señor Pete, I take you to La Fonda.
00:16:54Very good hotel.
00:16:56Come, I will show you.
00:16:58Pepio, this is my wife, Donna.
00:17:00Donna, this is Pepio. Hola.
00:17:02Hello. Nice to meet you.
00:17:04See, you thought there wasn't even a hotel here.
00:17:06Pepio, are you sure this is a nice hotel?
00:17:08It's not just some old flop house?
00:17:10It is the best hotel in all of Don Mateo.
00:17:12You're sure about this? I am sure,
00:17:14because it is the only hotel in Don Mateo.
00:17:20Come.
00:17:38You're very fortunate.
00:17:40In Old Don Mateo, this is the last room left.
00:17:42As you can see, it's not muy romantico.
00:17:44I fixed it for you.
00:17:46Neither are we. Muy romantico, I mean.
00:17:48A beautiful place, a beautiful couple,
00:17:50just in time for the fiesta.
00:17:52No, no, no, don't rearrange the furniture.
00:17:54It's not necessary. We are only here for one night anyway.
00:17:56So, thank you.
00:17:58As you wish, señorita.
00:18:00You know what? Let me give you a little something extra for your travel.
00:18:02No, señor.
00:18:04You have paid for the room. It's enough.
00:18:06Thanks.
00:18:08Gracias.
00:18:14You know, that's the third time today.
00:18:16Back home, you can't tip people enough.
00:18:18Down here, you can't tip people at all.
00:18:20Very interesting.
00:18:54Would you stop pacing?
00:18:56I just hate being stuck here.
00:18:58In Don Matina, of all places.
00:19:00If I even crashed the car, we'd be in San Marcos by now.
00:19:02Pete, no one is blaming you.
00:19:04All right? Let's just get the part in the morning
00:19:06and get to San Marcos.
00:19:08Buenas noches.
00:19:10Did you order room service?
00:19:12I don't think they have
00:19:14room service here.
00:19:16What do you call that?
00:19:18Uh,
00:19:20buenas noches, señor.
00:19:22I think this is a mistake.
00:19:24We didn't order this.
00:19:26No, señor. It's no mistake.
00:19:28It's a...
00:19:30a compliment.
00:19:32Come.
00:19:34Please, enjoy.
00:19:42Thank you very much.
00:19:44Gracias.
00:19:46Buen provecho.
00:19:52Ha.
00:19:58What's so funny?
00:20:00Nothing.
00:20:02What is it?
00:20:04It just reminds me of our first date.
00:20:06Remember?
00:20:08Oh, yeah. I took you to Rosa's Cantina.
00:20:10Oh, I remember the mariachis.
00:20:12How could I forget?
00:20:14It was so loud, we could barely hear ourselves think.
00:20:16I probably gave them five bucks to get them to play,
00:20:18and I had to give them ten bucks to make them stop.
00:20:20Oh, and the waiter dumped guacamole on me.
00:20:22Oh, man.
00:20:24After all that, you lost your keys,
00:20:26and you had to walk me all the way back to campus.
00:20:28Yeah, I got a little secret to tell you about that.
00:20:30I, um...
00:20:32I didn't really lose my keys that night.
00:20:34You did that on purpose?
00:20:36Uh-huh.
00:20:38Why?
00:20:40I wasn't ready for our date to be over.
00:20:42Why didn't you just ask me if you could walk me home?
00:20:44Would you have let me?
00:20:46Are you kidding?
00:20:48I would have let him. He heals my feet hurt for days.
00:20:50Well, wasn't that worth a couple of blisters?
00:20:52At the time?
00:20:54That was a long time ago.
00:20:56I'm not saying we go back.
00:20:58I'm just...
00:21:00I'm just saying we have to decide
00:21:02to let it go, to move on.
00:21:04That's all.
00:21:06Move on to what?
00:21:08Pete, this isn't like some building
00:21:10that you just finish and move on to the next.
00:21:12This is about starting a family.
00:21:14You expect me to just say,
00:21:16Okay, that's fine.
00:21:18I'll do without.
00:21:20We'll be a childless couple for the rest of our lives.
00:21:22I don't know if I can do that, Pete.
00:21:24Can you not see that?
00:21:36Is something wrong, senor?
00:21:38No, no. She's, uh...
00:21:40She's just a little homesick.
00:21:42That's all.
00:21:44Senor. Senor.
00:21:46No más música. Gracias.
00:22:14We must hurry.
00:22:16Come.
00:22:18We must get down to the plaza
00:22:20and help Father Arturo.
00:22:22Can't this wait till morning?
00:22:24Senor Pete, it is morning.
00:22:26Didn't you hear the rooster?
00:22:28Is that what that was?
00:22:30We must hurry.
00:22:32Father Arturo is waiting for us.
00:22:34It's time to go.
00:22:36Senor Pete, it is morning.
00:22:38Didn't you hear the rooster?
00:22:40Is that what that was?
00:22:42Father Arturo is waiting for us.
00:22:44It's not good to keep a priest waiting.
00:22:46He works for God.
00:22:48Right, right. We certainly wouldn't want to do that.
00:22:50Just, um,
00:22:52give me a minute, will you, buddy?
00:22:54Okay.
00:23:02Where are you going?
00:23:06Apparently I'm late for work.
00:23:08Well, let me know when the car is ready
00:23:10so I can get to leave.
00:23:12Yeah, sure.
00:23:14As soon as the mechanic gets the part,
00:23:16we'll be on our way.
00:23:28Hey, buddy.
00:23:30Senor Pete.
00:23:32Yeah?
00:23:34Want to know a secret?
00:23:36Sure.
00:23:38Senorita Donna.
00:23:40Yeah, what about her?
00:23:42I think she is very beautiful.
00:23:44Yeah, yeah, she is very beautiful.
00:23:46Hey, why don't you tell her that next time you see her?
00:23:48Why don't you tell her?
00:23:50Well, women like to hear things like that
00:23:52from other people besides their husband.
00:23:54If Senorita Donna was my wife,
00:23:56I would tell her every day how beautiful she is.
00:23:58That way, she'll always know how beautiful she is.
00:24:00You know, Papillo,
00:24:02whatever girl ends up with you
00:24:04is going to be a very lucky lady.
00:24:06Senorita Donna?
00:24:08I think you're going to have to ask her about that.
00:24:20Private Stanhope, reporting for duty, sir.
00:24:22Oh, I'm so glad you're still here.
00:24:24We have much left to do. Gracias.
00:24:26All right, well, let's get at it. What's first? What's this thing?
00:24:28Oh, this is the machine that makes the boy fly.
00:24:30See, we put the cables
00:24:32wrapped around here,
00:24:34and then we attach them to the poles,
00:24:36and then over here,
00:24:38we put the seat where the boy sits,
00:24:40and then he flies around the plaza.
00:24:42What can I do to help?
00:24:44You know, you can rest for a little while, okay?
00:24:46You've been working hard for two days,
00:24:48and your leg's a little sore, huh?
00:24:50Okay.
00:24:52Adios, Senor Pete.
00:24:54Okay, see you, buddy.
00:24:56Okay.
00:24:58All right, what's your, uh, what's your completion date?
00:25:00Okay.
00:25:02Today? Today.
00:25:04Don't you want to give yourself a little cushion there, padre?
00:25:06No.
00:25:08No?
00:25:10This is paper.
00:25:12Did you fold it?
00:25:14Did you fold it?
00:25:16Muy bien, bien.
00:25:20Dale, dale, dale, duro, duro, duro.
00:25:22AsÃ.
00:25:24Duro, duro, duro, duro.
00:25:26Asà mismo.
00:25:30Hi.
00:25:32Oh, hi. Hola, I see you're still here.
00:25:34Yeah, well, our car's still being fixed.
00:25:36We gotta wait for a part,
00:25:38so he'll probably be here another day.
00:25:40Oh, I'm sorry about your car.
00:25:42But not really, because then he can help us bake.
00:25:44Well, I don't know if I remember how to bake.
00:25:46Oh, you don't bake at home?
00:25:48Not since I was a little girl.
00:25:50It's time to learn again, you know?
00:25:52Because everybody needs to learn how to bake
00:25:54so we can teach our children. Right, kids?
00:25:56Are you sure these things will hold?
00:25:58Well, they always have.
00:26:00So tell me,
00:26:02life in El Norte, is it different
00:26:04from life in Domitina?
00:26:06Well, there's certainly less traffic here.
00:26:08In Los Angeles,
00:26:10you need a car for everything.
00:26:12You drive to work,
00:26:14you drive home.
00:26:16If you're hungry, you drive to the market or a restaurant.
00:26:18I swear, I spend more time in my car
00:26:20than I do at my house.
00:26:22But your esposa,
00:26:24she must be happy you work so hard.
00:26:26She works, too. We both work. Everybody works.
00:26:28Who takes care of the children?
00:26:30We don't have any children.
00:26:32Ah, no children.
00:26:34Well, you're still young.
00:26:36What's your name?
00:26:38Uh, Donna. Donna, I'm with Donna.
00:26:40Nice to meet you.
00:26:42Kids, say hi to Donna.
00:26:44Hi, Donna.
00:26:46Very good.
00:26:48Okay, le vamos a enseñar a esta señorita
00:26:50cómo se hacen las conchitas.
00:26:52¿Cómo es que se hacen las conchitas?
00:26:54Con la mezcla.
00:26:56Muy bien. Okay, so we're going to teach her that, okay?
00:26:58You ready to get your hands dirty?
00:27:00Absolutely.
00:27:02Okay, good.
00:27:04Thank you, Danny.
00:27:06Dura, dura, dura, dura, dura, dura.
00:27:10I mean, it's not like we haven't been trying.
00:27:12Trying?
00:27:14To have a baby.
00:27:16I mean, at first, we didn't worry about it.
00:27:18You know, sometimes these things take a while.
00:27:20But then when it didn't happen,
00:27:22then we started trying harder and harder.
00:27:24And not the normal way, mind you.
00:27:26That I wouldn't have minded, believe me.
00:27:28But it was frozen this
00:27:30and frozen that
00:27:32with test tubes and microscopes
00:27:34and drugs and not to mention
00:27:36the special herbs and the teas
00:27:38and the meditations
00:27:40and the yoga and taking our temperature
00:27:42every hour and then the mad dash
00:27:44is home just so we could...
00:27:46You know, try to make a baby.
00:27:48Oh, si, si.
00:27:50And the money. My God, the money.
00:27:52You have no idea how much
00:27:54these things cost between
00:27:56the doctors and the lab work
00:27:58and, of course, none of it's covered by insurance.
00:28:00Suffice it to say,
00:28:02it's been a struggle.
00:28:04Yes, but you still love each other, see?
00:28:06That's the important thing.
00:28:08But if I can't give her what she wants,
00:28:10what's the point?
00:28:12You said it yourself. We're still young.
00:28:14We can both start over.
00:28:16I think that would be the biggest act
00:28:18of selfishness, not love.
00:28:20How so?
00:28:22Love would not abandon her to face her burdens alone.
00:28:24It would strive to make her burdens lighter.
00:28:26Her sorrows easier to bear.
00:28:28Love will not fix these things that trouble you.
00:28:30But it will give your union
00:28:32the strength to find its way
00:28:34through the journey of life together.
00:28:36But that's just the opinion
00:28:38of one Mexican priest.
00:28:40Let's check to see if these cookies are ready.
00:28:42Are they finished? Are they ready?
00:28:44Are they ready?
00:28:46Oh, I don't think so.
00:28:48I don't think so.
00:28:50That's too hot for you.
00:28:52Not quite ready.
00:28:54Okay, here we go.
00:28:56Hey, Terri.
00:28:58Terri.
00:29:00Terri.
00:29:02Terri.
00:29:04Terri.
00:29:06Terri.
00:29:08Okay, here we go.
00:29:10Hey, Terri, shall we check to see the cookies?
00:29:12I know you wanted to come look.
00:29:14You come look, because these were some of your special cookies.
00:29:16Let's see. Let's see.
00:29:18Are they ready?
00:29:20No, not ready.
00:29:22Not yet. Almost.
00:29:24Hey.
00:29:26Hi.
00:29:28Okay, go back to Magdalena.
00:29:30You go see Magdalena.
00:29:32Hello.
00:29:34What are you doing?
00:29:36Making conchitas for the fiesta.
00:29:38But you don't bake.
00:29:40I bought you that bread maker for Christmas.
00:29:42You never took it out of the box.
00:29:44That's not real baking, is it?
00:29:46When you're baking, you mix the dough by yourself
00:29:48and knead it with your hands
00:29:50and get it in your hair and your fingernails.
00:29:52Yeah, I used to do that when I was a kid.
00:29:54Señorita, señorita,
00:29:56las conchitas.
00:29:58Oops.
00:30:00Conchitas are ready.
00:30:02I'll see you later.
00:30:04I think they're ready, you guys.
00:30:06Come on, let's see. Come on, Mia.
00:30:08Thanks for telling me that they're ready.
00:30:10Are you ready?
00:30:12Hola, Juan.
00:30:14Hola, señor.
00:30:16Did we get the part?
00:30:18No, not yet.
00:30:20Well, did they say when?
00:30:22It's a difficult part to find.
00:30:24There were none in all of Ensenada.
00:30:26They were going to have to order special.
00:30:28How long is that going to take?
00:30:30Maybe another day, maybe two.
00:30:32I can't figure.
00:30:34Well, if you know the party's not coming in two days,
00:30:36you can just relax, enjoy yourself,
00:30:38and not worry about it.
00:30:40If you're lucky enough, maybe three days.
00:30:42And if you're very lucky,
00:30:44you won't get here until after the fiesta.
00:30:46It all depends what you consider luck.
00:30:50Quiere, quiere, conchita.
00:30:52Muy bien.
00:30:54Very good.
00:30:56All right, so, in one, two...
00:30:58Conchitas are ready.
00:31:00Yay!
00:31:02You know what? They look very good,
00:31:04but they're so hot, muy calientes.
00:31:06Asà que, it's fiesta time,
00:31:08and when we get back, it's going to be cool.
00:31:10Okay? Let's go, let's go.
00:31:12Oh, come on, baby, I'm sorry. Yay!
00:31:14A dormir, a soñar.
00:31:16A la cama descansar.
00:31:18A dormir.
00:31:20Very good, guys.
00:31:22Yay, there you go.
00:31:24Me quiero ir.
00:31:26Es muy oscuro.
00:31:28Oh, what's she saying?
00:31:30She's afraid of the dark.
00:31:32Oh, honey, well, then you should stay right here with us.
00:31:34Oh, look at that.
00:31:36Yes, yes.
00:31:42Here we go.
00:31:44Just rest right there.
00:31:48So, tell me, how did you meet your husband?
00:31:50Oh, my goodness, that was so long ago,
00:31:52I don't think I even remember.
00:31:54Oh, stop. Nonsense.
00:31:56Since every girl remembers.
00:31:58Don't tell me.
00:32:00Oh, my goodness, well,
00:32:02I was working in a bank,
00:32:04and this very handsome man
00:32:06came walking into the bank
00:32:08and handed me a note.
00:32:10And I thought, oh, my gosh,
00:32:12it's a stick-up.
00:32:14But, no, the note read,
00:32:16you're the most beautiful woman
00:32:18I've ever seen, and would you have dinner with me?
00:32:20Oh, a proposal from a complete stranger.
00:32:22Well, he wasn't a complete stranger.
00:32:24I'd seen him at school.
00:32:26He was an engineering student,
00:32:28and I was a business major,
00:32:30but definitely not your most usual
00:32:32bank transactions, I would say.
00:32:34Definitely not.
00:32:36So what did you say?
00:32:38Well, I said yes, of course,
00:32:40but only after he opened up an account with us,
00:32:42a savings account, mind you.
00:32:44Oh, no.
00:32:46And did he?
00:32:48Yes, he did.
00:32:50I think he had to borrow the money from his roommate,
00:32:52which is funny.
00:32:54That's a very good story.
00:32:56Is she out?
00:32:58Yeah, she's pretty much...
00:33:00Let me go.
00:33:02Hey, come on.
00:33:04Come on.
00:33:06See you, sister.
00:33:10There we go.
00:33:12Gracias.
00:33:22Gol!
00:33:24Yes!
00:33:26Oh, no, no.
00:33:28No, no, no, that wasn't a goal.
00:33:30You want to see a goal?
00:33:32All right, I'll show you a goal, buddy.
00:33:34All right.
00:33:36You want to see a goal, big boy?
00:33:38Oh, come on.
00:33:40Are you kidding me?
00:33:42All right, okay, all right.
00:33:44I see how you are, buddy.
00:33:46Okay, you want to play?
00:33:48Yes.
00:33:50Let me warn you, I wasn't starting forward
00:33:52for the West Valley Wolverines.
00:33:54Of course, that was 20 years ago.
00:33:56Gol!
00:33:58Papil!
00:34:00You're pretty good, man.
00:34:02You played pretty well for a kid with only one good leg.
00:34:04All right, here we go, best two out of three, okay?
00:34:06All right.
00:34:08Here we go, what do you got?
00:34:10Show me what you got.
00:34:12You ready?
00:34:14Let's go.
00:34:16Come on.
00:34:18How do you know how to play like that?
00:34:20My papa.
00:34:22When you have a son like me, you can teach him.
00:34:24Are you kidding me?
00:34:26If I have a kid, I'm going to bring him down here
00:34:28and let you teach him how to play.
00:34:30Oh, no, that's papa's job.
00:34:32Oh, really, and what's mama's job?
00:34:34Well, to tuck you in bed, kiss you,
00:34:36and at night, sing a song to you.
00:34:38And did your mama sing?
00:34:40Oh, she would always sing.
00:34:42She would sing this nice song to me
00:34:44every time I finished my prayers.
00:34:46Duérmete mi niño, duérmete mi sol,
00:34:50duérmete pedazo de mi corazón.
00:34:54What does that mean, something about your heart?
00:34:56Not my heart, her heart.
00:34:58Go to sleep my child,
00:35:00go to sleep my sunshine,
00:35:02you will always be
00:35:04in this heart of mine.
00:35:10That's a beautiful song.
00:35:12I'm sure your mother loved you very much.
00:35:16Ay, pero gracias, comadre.
00:35:18Mañana.
00:35:20Está loca.
00:35:24All right, so it's your turn.
00:35:26How did you meet Juan?
00:35:28Well, I was straight out of the university in Guadalajara
00:35:30and they said that they needed a teacher
00:35:32here in Don Matina.
00:35:34So I said, I'll go.
00:35:36My friends thought I was loca
00:35:38because I was going to leave the city to come here.
00:35:40So my first day of school,
00:35:42I met Juan.
00:35:44So my first day of school,
00:35:46I looked down and there's Rapillo
00:35:48smiling up at me with his little bat leg.
00:35:50And he goes,
00:35:52my brother Juan is the best mechanic in town
00:35:54and he deserves a beautiful wife.
00:35:56Would you like to meet him?
00:35:58He's right there in the garage.
00:36:02How could I resist?
00:36:04That's a good story too.
00:36:06That must have been quite a change though,
00:36:08I mean, living here.
00:36:10Did you miss the city at all?
00:36:12I did a little bit in the beginning.
00:36:14But then after a while,
00:36:16not so much.
00:36:18I like this place.
00:36:20It's a good place to live
00:36:22and the people are really good people.
00:36:24I mean, I have Juan,
00:36:26I have my work,
00:36:28I have all the children.
00:36:30What else do I need?
00:36:32Now Juan and Rapillo, they're brothers, right?
00:36:34Where are their parents?
00:36:36Oh, their parents died when Rapillo was very young.
00:36:38Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:36:40It must be very hard on Juan,
00:36:42having to be both a brother
00:36:44and a parent, huh?
00:36:46Yeah, I thought it was so sad at first,
00:36:48Rapillo with no parents,
00:36:50but now, I mean, the whole village takes care of him.
00:36:52They love him so much.
00:36:54Like they're family.
00:36:56Ah.
00:37:00Well, so what happens after you and Juan get married?
00:37:02With Rapillo?
00:37:04Yeah.
00:37:06Oh, I'll love him like my own son.
00:37:08You're going to have children, right?
00:37:10Oh, sure, but it's not up to us.
00:37:12It's up to God.
00:37:14If he wants us to have children,
00:37:16then perfect, we're going to love him.
00:37:18If he doesn't, we still have each other.
00:37:20I mean, I believe
00:37:22as long as I'm a good wife
00:37:24and he's a good husband
00:37:26and we love each other,
00:37:28we do that, whatever happens,
00:37:30it's going to be okay.
00:37:38How's your leg doing, buddy?
00:37:40Good.
00:37:42Always the same.
00:37:44Want to know a secret?
00:37:46It's not another one about my wife, is it?
00:37:48Oh, no.
00:37:50This one's a real secret.
00:37:52It's something no one else in the whole world knows.
00:37:54Sounds like a pretty important secret.
00:37:56You sure you want to entrust it to me?
00:37:58Yeah, I do.
00:38:00You know how San Juan Estadel
00:38:02turned a little boy into a dove
00:38:04and after he did it three times around the plaza,
00:38:06he was able to walk?
00:38:08Yeah, Father Arturo told me that story.
00:38:10Last night before I sleep,
00:38:12I prayed to San Juan Estadel
00:38:14and in my dreams, you know what he says?
00:38:16What?
00:38:18He says he will do the same for me
00:38:20and it's my turn to fly
00:38:22and when it is over,
00:38:24he will make it so I can walk.
00:38:26He will fix my leg and the pain will be gone.
00:38:28Are you sure that's what he said?
00:38:30Betillo, he said,
00:38:32you believe in the miracle of Tomatina
00:38:34and with all your heart,
00:38:36I can make it so you are healed.
00:38:38Betillo, there you are.
00:38:40I can't tell anyone.
00:38:42Remember, it's all a secret.
00:38:44Yeah, I promise.
00:38:46Good evening, Senor Pete.
00:38:48Come on, Betillo, we're late.
00:38:50Magdalena has supper for us.
00:38:52Let's go.
00:38:54I see that you're finished.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:58You're getting much too heavy to carry.
00:39:00After Sunday, I'm going to be light as a feather.
00:39:02I actually think it's going to turn into a bird or something.
00:39:04Hey, tonight Magdalena and I are going for a walk.
00:39:06Why don't you tell Senorita Donna and you meet us there?
00:39:08Yeah, sure.
00:39:10Yeah? Okay, see you there.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:16I hope you know what you're doing.
00:39:28I'm in.
00:39:32Ah.
00:39:36Ah.
00:39:38Ah.
00:39:40Ah.
00:39:48Today we finished Tomatina.
00:39:50Father Tudor helped too.
00:39:54But it was mostly me and Senor Pete.
00:39:56He would like Senor Pete.
00:39:58He think he is very good at soccer.
00:40:00But he's really bad.
00:40:02He's sometimes sad about something.
00:40:04I don't know why.
00:40:06But someday he might just tell me.
00:40:10I wish you were here.
00:40:12You and Papa too.
00:40:14But I guess you guys could see from up there.
00:40:20Turn off the light, little guy.
00:40:22Time to go to sleep.
00:40:24Ah.
00:40:26Is it really bad tonight?
00:40:28Mm-hmm.
00:40:30You worked really hard.
00:40:32It will be better.
00:40:34Okay.
00:40:36Let's do this.
00:40:42Good night, little brother.
00:40:44Sweet dreams.
00:40:46Okay.
00:40:58It's not a miracle yet.
00:41:00But it's better to keep it as a surprise.
00:41:18Do you guys know that Juan
00:41:20was the boy chosen to fly once?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:24Runs in the family, huh?
00:41:26Did he scare you?
00:41:28A little bit.
00:41:30But Mama and Papa were there,
00:41:32so I knew nothing bad would happen
00:41:34if they were there.
00:41:36They would be so proud of Pepito right now.
00:41:38Oh, yeah.
00:41:40Very, very proud of him.
00:41:42You know, I've been thinking.
00:41:44You've been thinking?
00:41:46What's the occasion?
00:41:48Perhaps. I don't know.
00:41:50But maybe after we get married,
00:41:52maybe we could move into the city.
00:41:54There's a lot for me there,
00:41:56and more opportunities for Pepito.
00:41:58And you say you like the city, too, no?
00:42:00Well, yeah.
00:42:02Well, Señor Pete, you live in the city.
00:42:04Don't you think it's a good option?
00:42:06The city's exciting.
00:42:08There's always lots to see and do
00:42:10and lots of great restaurants.
00:42:12You see? I told you it was a good idea.
00:42:14Yeah, but it's also very noisy and crowded.
00:42:16Very easy to lose sight of what's important,
00:42:18like family and intimacy
00:42:20and simple pleasures.
00:42:22All the things that you have here.
00:42:24You would leave your friends, your family,
00:42:26this place just to go to a city?
00:42:28Why would you want to do that?
00:42:30I thought it would make you happy.
00:42:32Juan,
00:42:34I'm really happy
00:42:36because I'm with you.
00:42:40I love you, Magdalena.
00:42:42I love you, too.
00:42:46Donna, are you awake?
00:42:48Yeah.
00:42:50Have you ever seen a miracle?
00:42:52No, Pete, I have not.
00:42:54Did you see Magdalena and Juan tonight?
00:42:56They love each other so much, you know?
00:42:58Just because they're affectionate
00:43:00doesn't mean...
00:43:02Don't reduce what they have to puppy love, Pete.
00:43:04I wasn't.
00:43:06I mean, we...
00:43:08We used to be affectionate
00:43:10and we weren't as young as they are.
00:43:12We're still affectionate.
00:43:16To answer your question,
00:43:18no, I've never seen a miracle.
00:43:20But do you think they're possible?
00:43:22You mean the water changing into wine?
00:43:24That kind of miracle?
00:43:26Yeah. Yeah, a real honest-to-goodness miracle.
00:43:28I don't know.
00:43:30Boy, I hope so.
00:43:32That's gonna be one
00:43:34disappointing little boy.
00:43:38Good night.
00:43:44Good night.
00:43:48Good night.
00:43:56Señor Pete!
00:43:58Señor Pete!
00:44:00Time to get up. It's morning.
00:44:02Señor Pete!
00:44:04Señor Pete!
00:44:08Señor Pete!
00:44:10Señor Pete!
00:44:12Señor Pete!
00:44:18Señor Pete!
00:44:20Señor Pete! What now?
00:44:22Quickly. We must go. Why?
00:44:24El piloto. We must hurry.
00:44:26Let me just put on some pants.
00:44:30You gotta be kidding me.
00:44:32What's going on?
00:44:34Apparently they're bringing in a test pilot.
00:44:36Where are you going?
00:44:38You're not the only one who works in this house.
00:44:48Let's go.
00:45:08What's the pig doing here?
00:45:10It's el piloto.
00:45:12Oh, the pig belongs to the pilot.
00:45:14No, señor Pete.
00:45:16El piloto.
00:45:18SÃ.
00:45:20The test pilot is really a test pig?
00:45:22SÃ, sÃ.
00:45:26¡No funciona!
00:45:28Juanito.
00:45:34What's going on?
00:45:36It doesn't work. Nothing works, Magdalena.
00:45:38Aren't you supposed to be helping Father Arturo?
00:45:40I was there, Magdalena,
00:45:42but then I came to see if Señor Pete's part arrived,
00:45:44but it didn't arrive.
00:45:46So I tried to fix it myself, and the wrench broke.
00:45:48So this is why you're so angry?
00:45:50The parts were supposed to be delivered today, Magdalena.
00:45:52You know that.
00:45:54I know. I understand.
00:45:56But getting this angry isn't going to speed anything up.
00:45:58Come on, babe.
00:46:02You're always trying to fix everything,
00:46:04and you can't do that.
00:46:06So why don't you just take a break
00:46:08and go help Father Arturo?
00:46:10We actually can help something.
00:46:12I love you, Torito.
00:46:14I love you.
00:46:16What's a Torito?
00:46:18Torito?
00:46:20That's a small bull.
00:46:22You just call him like that
00:46:24when he gets angry like that.
00:46:26Well, at least you made him laugh.
00:46:28Pete gets mad sometimes.
00:46:30I wish I could make him laugh.
00:46:32I feel like crying sometimes.
00:46:34It's easy to make this one laugh
00:46:36because he's not angry at me, really,
00:46:38or the part or anything.
00:46:40You know, and he always gets like this.
00:46:42I bet that was an accident.
00:46:44Yeah, I know, but, you know,
00:46:46he wishes something else could have been done.
00:46:48Perhaps take him to the city, to a big hospital.
00:46:50But he couldn't do that because he couldn't afford it,
00:46:52so that's why he gets like that.
00:46:54He's very lucky to have such an understanding woman.
00:46:56Hmm.
00:46:58I think I'm the lucky one
00:47:00because I'd rather have him care that much
00:47:02than not care at all.
00:47:04Hmm.
00:47:06Uh-huh.
00:47:10Yes!
00:47:14Are we too late?
00:47:16Nope, just in time.
00:47:18Where's Pete?
00:47:20He's right there.
00:47:22He's helping Father Arturo fly the pig.
00:47:24Pig?
00:47:26Yeah, that's our test pilot.
00:47:28Don't worry, you'll understand.
00:47:30It's a custom we have.
00:47:32Okay.
00:47:34All right, let's get down.
00:47:36You need a hand there, Padre?
00:47:38No.
00:47:44Wow!
00:47:46Blancornitas!
00:47:48Oh, no!
00:47:50The pig likes it, too.
00:47:52Yeah.
00:47:54Wow.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:48:02Wonderful, baby.
00:48:04You're big!
00:48:06Ha, ha, ha!
00:48:10Ay, que divertido.
00:48:16Uh, is everything okay?
00:48:18I don't know.
00:48:20Um...
00:48:24Maybe you should bring the pig in for a landing.
00:48:26Oh, no, he's going too wide.
00:48:28It would be unsafe.
00:48:30Try to slow it down a little bit.
00:48:32Um, Padre?
00:48:34Pull this rope as hard as you can, okay?
00:48:36Pete, is everything okay?
00:48:38Careful, careful.
00:48:40Harder, pull harder.
00:48:42No!
00:48:46Stay back, stay back.
00:48:48Bájalo, bájalo, bájalo.
00:48:52Come on, let's go.
00:48:58It's coming down.
00:49:00Get out of here.
00:49:02No!
00:49:04No!
00:49:08No!
00:49:14Oh, no!
00:49:22I'm sure we can fly next year.
00:49:24No!
00:49:26Where are you going? Come back, please.
00:49:28You lied to me.
00:49:30It's all a lie.
00:49:32Padre.
00:49:34Padre, please forgive him.
00:49:36He didn't mean to offend the saint.
00:49:38You're standing here asking for forgiveness
00:49:40when he needs you?
00:49:42Go to him.
00:49:44Pepillo!
00:49:46What are we gonna do now?
00:49:48Can we fix this?
00:49:50No, it is ruined.
00:49:52There's not enough time to fix it if we could.
00:49:56We'll have to tell the town
00:49:58that the fiesta of San Juan de Estrella
00:50:00was cancelled.
00:50:04Can't you do something to fix this?
00:50:08What do you suggest?
00:50:10You're the engineer.
00:50:12If you can build skyscrapers,
00:50:14you can certainly fix this, don't you think?
00:50:16It's not that simple.
00:50:18You can't just string it up.
00:50:20It has to be totally redesigned.
00:50:22Can't you at least try?
00:50:28No.
00:50:48Well, you're awful chipper, given the day's events.
00:50:54So...
00:50:56If I fix this thing
00:50:58so Pepillo can fly,
00:51:00but he doesn't get his miracle,
00:51:02the kid's gonna be heartbroken.
00:51:06Of course, if he doesn't get to fly at all,
00:51:08that's gonna break his heart, too.
00:51:14Either way, the kid's in for a major disappointment.
00:51:20So?
00:51:22What do you think?
00:51:26Fix it or no?
00:51:30Pay or don't pay?
00:51:32Try to have a kid or don't?
00:51:36I don't know.
00:51:38What, no advice?
00:51:40No saintly wisdom to impart?
00:51:46You cannot blame yourself
00:51:48for the disappointments of others.
00:51:52You scared me half to death.
00:51:54I thought the old man had come back to life.
00:51:56Well, he is alive.
00:51:58He lives through his words.
00:52:00Like this.
00:52:04It says,
00:52:06first, do what is necessary.
00:52:08And then,
00:52:10do what is possible.
00:52:12And suddenly,
00:52:14you will be doing the impossible.
00:52:16You see, some people blame themselves
00:52:18for things they cannot do,
00:52:20for the disappointment of others,
00:52:22or their own failings.
00:52:24But in their distress,
00:52:26they forget that God does not expect us
00:52:28to be successful,
00:52:30only faithful.
00:52:32We must remember this
00:52:34when even doing the necessary
00:52:36seems impossible.
00:52:40But enough of saints and sinners.
00:52:42It's very late,
00:52:44and we both are tired.
00:52:46We have much work to do tomorrow
00:52:49but
00:52:51from this sorrow
00:52:53some strength will come.
00:52:57Buenas noches, Senor Stanhope.
00:52:59Buenas noches, Padre.
00:53:19What is it?
00:53:21What's the matter?
00:53:23What you said last night
00:53:25about what's necessary
00:53:27and what's possible,
00:53:29do you truly believe that?
00:53:31Yes, without my heart.
00:53:33All right.
00:53:35Then you better hurry up,
00:53:37because we've got work to do.
00:53:39Come on.
00:53:41You see this?
00:53:43That's where it started.
00:53:45The wall cracked,
00:53:47the load got transferred there,
00:53:49and there, and over there.
00:53:51And as each one of those failed,
00:53:53the load doubled somewhere else.
00:53:55In engineering, we call it
00:53:57a catastrophic system failure.
00:53:59It's like when a bridge collapses,
00:54:01one thing leads to another.
00:54:03That is how I have always done it.
00:54:05It's the only way I know how to do it.
00:54:07What if I redesign the system for you
00:54:09and separate the load-bearing part
00:54:11from the control part?
00:54:13That way, if one part fails,
00:54:15it's not rocket science.
00:54:17Well, if it fails tomorrow,
00:54:19can you do it in time?
00:54:21If it's necessary, it's possible.
00:54:39Senor Stanhope is an ingeniero
00:54:41from the norte,
00:54:43and he has designed the maquina.
00:54:45A much better maquina,
00:54:47so the papeo may fly in safety.
00:54:49But we need your help to build it.
00:54:51Tomorrow is the fiesta,
00:54:53and we don't have much time.
00:54:55We have a lot of work to do,
00:54:57so I'm going to need everybody
00:54:59to work together.
00:55:01What we have to do
00:55:03is totally rebuild la maquina.
00:55:05Juan, can this be welded?
00:55:07I don't know. I can try.
00:55:09Thanks.
00:55:11Senor!
00:55:13Yeah?
00:55:15You would do that for us?
00:55:17How is this papeo going to fly?
00:55:21Thank you so much.
00:55:25Let's go. Put that bracket up there.
00:55:27That's it, Pedro.
00:55:29That's good.
00:55:41That's good.
00:56:11That's good.
00:56:41So are you basking in the glow?
00:56:43I'm telling you, these people are amazing.
00:56:45It would have taken my crew three days
00:56:47to do what they did in eight hours.
00:56:49Yeah, well, it shows you how much it means to them.
00:56:51You know, I asked the padre if he wanted
00:56:53to do another test flight,
00:56:55and he said no, no necesario.
00:56:57So no more test pig?
00:56:59Yeah, the pig wasn't exactly Chuck Yeager.
00:57:01Senor P, senor P, come quick!
00:57:03It's broken, it's broken!
00:57:05Well, that was a short bask.
00:57:07It is no use.
00:57:09The metal is too old. It is impossible to weld.
00:57:11Maybe we can use something else.
00:57:13I don't know, another part that you might have.
00:57:15Anything.
00:57:17No, it's no good. Without that piece,
00:57:19there's no way the machine can work.
00:57:21Senor P, can you fix it?
00:57:23Not this time, buddy. I wish I could.
00:57:27There's got to be something here that we can use,
00:57:29don't you think?
00:57:33Senor P, the parts are here.
00:57:35They will bear in a spindle.
00:57:37I told you they would come.
00:57:39Well, at least we can fix your car.
00:57:41Wait a minute.
00:57:43The spindle.
00:57:45If we cut it and modify it a little bit,
00:57:47it could replace the piece that broke.
00:57:49Yes, but if we cut it,
00:57:51we can't piece it back together,
00:57:53and there's no telling when we can get a new one.
00:58:03I don't care.
00:58:05We can weld it, tie a knot,
00:58:07whatever it takes.
00:58:09Yes!
00:58:29My piece, Stanhope.
00:58:31You're my hero.
00:58:57A little higher.
00:58:59Keep going.
00:59:01Right there, right there.
00:59:05Hey, Juan.
00:59:09Hey.
00:59:11So they left this for me to wear.
00:59:13Is this right, or is someone playing a joke on me?
00:59:15No, that's perfect, that's perfect.
00:59:17I'm glad to see you.
00:59:19I really wanted to thank you for everything you've done for us,
00:59:21especially Pepillo.
00:59:23I've never seen him so happy and smiling all the time.
00:59:25Yeah, no problem.
00:59:27We're going to see you tonight at the fiesta, right?
00:59:29I'm sorry, we're not going to make it tonight.
00:59:31Pepillo's in too much pain today.
00:59:33You know, he's always in constant pain.
00:59:35He's trying to hide it from everybody else,
00:59:37even me.
00:59:39All he really wants is to be treated like a normal kid.
00:59:41He's a good boy.
00:59:43I wish I had half his energy and his zest for life.
00:59:45Tell me about it.
00:59:47You know, to me, he's a constant reminder of what life is really all about.
00:59:49You know, if you've had a good day with the ones you love,
00:59:51you really don't need anything more.
00:59:53Everything else just confuses matters.
00:59:55Is it really that simple?
00:59:57You know,
00:59:59as shocking as it sounds,
01:00:01I really think it is.
01:00:09I don't want to miss this for anything.
01:00:11I mean, just think,
01:00:13we could be stuck in some boring little resort town
01:00:15like all the other tourists,
01:00:17but instead here we're like locals, right?
01:00:19Yeah, sure.
01:00:23Oh, my gosh.
01:00:25The town is beautiful.
01:00:27Yeah, it's beautiful,
01:00:29it's beautiful.
01:00:31You know, you're awfully down for someone who just saved the day.
01:00:33Are you worried about the wires or something?
01:00:35No.
01:00:37It's not that.
01:00:39It's Papillo.
01:00:41Why?
01:00:43He's thrilled.
01:00:45You should be, too.
01:00:47I mean, because of you, he gets to fly.
01:00:49No, it's more than that.
01:00:51What do you mean?
01:00:53He, um...
01:00:55he told me a secret.
01:00:57You're not supposed to tell anybody else.
01:00:59But do wives qualify as anybody else?
01:01:01He believes
01:01:03that San Judas de Deo
01:01:05came to him in a dream
01:01:07and told him that the first miracle
01:01:09of Del Matino would happen again.
01:01:11Only this time,
01:01:13it would happen with him.
01:01:15What, he thinks his leg is magically going to cure itself?
01:01:17That's what he said,
01:01:19that he would fly to the base of the statue
01:01:21and San Judas de Deo
01:01:23would heal him.
01:01:25Oh, my God, that's why he thinks
01:01:27the saint lied to him
01:01:29and the machine broke.
01:01:31And why you didn't want to be the one to fix it.
01:01:33It would take another year for him to get to fly,
01:01:35and hopefully by then he'd be too old.
01:01:37To believe in miracles.
01:01:41If he flies around the plaza
01:01:43and lands at the feet
01:01:45of San Judas de Deo
01:01:47and nothing has changed...
01:01:51how do you explain that to a kid?
01:01:55I don't know.
01:01:57Neither do I.
01:02:19So, are you ready?
01:02:21As ready as I'll ever be.
01:02:23You sure about this?
01:02:25Positive, senor.
01:02:27Sure about what? What's the matter? Where are you going?
01:02:29Well, it appears I've been drafted
01:02:31into the service of the king.
01:02:33The king? What king?
01:02:35King Philip III of Spain.
01:02:39Oh, that king.
01:02:41Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys are absolutely sure
01:02:43no one else could do this?
01:02:45No one else can do it, just you.
01:02:47Well, what about Juan? Why can't he do it?
01:02:49Because nobody wants to see Juan.
01:02:51Come on, let's go.
01:03:09Where on earth is Pete?
01:03:11The parade's about to begin and he's going to miss it.
01:03:13Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.
01:03:15He'll be here.
01:03:21Beep, beep.
01:03:51Hi.
01:04:11Hey, sailor.
01:04:13Spare a few gold doubloons, perhaps?
01:04:15Yeah, very funny.
01:04:17Well, I think you look very dashing.
01:04:19If I had to have my country conquered
01:04:21by any conquistador, it would be you.
01:04:23Well, thank you.
01:04:25It's funny, one minute I'm a stranded American tourist
01:04:27and the next minute I am Juan Cabrillo.
01:04:29They can only see this at home.
01:04:31They'd never believe it.
01:04:33I don't blame them. I'm here and I can hardly believe it.
01:04:45Thank you, buddy.
01:04:49Well, here goes nothing.
01:04:51Okay, you're starting to make me nervous.
01:04:53This is going to work, isn't it?
01:04:55Really?
01:04:57Yeah, 60,000 miles or five years, whichever comes first.
01:04:59It's not funny.
01:05:03Welcome to the fiesta of San Judas Tedeo.
01:05:07Today we celebrate the miracle of Don Matina
01:05:11when many years ago his blessed saint
01:05:13came to our village
01:05:15to repay a child his kindness
01:05:17by transforming a crippled child
01:05:19into a dove.
01:05:21And when he transformed him back,
01:05:23the child could walk.
01:05:25So this year,
01:05:27as in years gone by,
01:05:29we celebrate this miracle
01:05:31with the flight of one special child
01:05:33to the feet of San Judas Tedeo.
01:05:35This year, our special dove
01:05:37is little Papillo.
01:05:41His spirit is so light
01:05:43he could almost fly without our help.
01:05:45So let us bow our heads and pray.
01:05:49So, Donna,
01:05:51I've been thinking.
01:05:53I've been really selfish
01:05:55about the whole baby thing.
01:05:57It just kind of...
01:05:59It just kind of felt to me
01:06:01that getting pregnant to you
01:06:03was the most important thing in the world,
01:06:05even more important than us.
01:06:07No, no, no, just listen.
01:06:09What I'm saying is
01:06:11if you really want to try again,
01:06:15I think we should.
01:06:17What about the money?
01:06:19We've got the money.
01:06:21Do you remember that savings account
01:06:23you made me start before you'd even go out with me?
01:06:25Yeah.
01:06:27Yes, I remember.
01:06:29Well, I never closed it.
01:06:31Even after we got married,
01:06:33I always thought I'd need a little extra cash
01:06:35if the right opportunity came along.
01:06:37And, well, there's just enough money
01:06:39in there to get us started.
01:06:41If we need some more,
01:06:43we can do that.
01:06:45You'd do that?
01:06:51He was quite a kid.
01:06:53Totally fearless.
01:06:55You know, Pete, I have been thinking, too,
01:06:57and instead of us spending money
01:06:59to try and make a new kid,
01:07:01maybe we should spend it
01:07:03on one that we already know.
01:07:05Papilla?
01:07:07Yeah, we could take him and Juan to the States,
01:07:09get him to see a real specialist.
01:07:11You would do that?
01:07:15But I thought having a baby was everything.
01:07:17Having a baby
01:07:19would be wonderful, just...
01:07:21truly wonderful.
01:07:23But it's not everything.
01:07:25The most important thing
01:07:27is us being there for each other.
01:07:29You know, if all the ropes and cables
01:07:31and wires were to come crashing down,
01:07:33we would be there
01:07:35for each other to help
01:07:37string them back up again.
01:07:42But just because
01:07:44we helped Papilla
01:07:46doesn't mean we can't still try
01:07:48to have a kid of our own.
01:07:50And if that doesn't work,
01:07:52we could always adopt.
01:07:54You could love a child that wasn't your own.
01:07:57Haven't you noticed?
01:08:05I'm in.
01:08:08And now,
01:08:10our flying boy, Pepillo!
01:08:18It's gonna be okay, I promise.
01:08:23Bueno.
01:08:25It is finally your turn, my little Pepillo.
01:08:27Are you ready?
01:08:29Si, padre.
01:08:31Bueno, bueno.
01:08:37Go ahead.
01:08:39Okay.
01:08:43Bueno.
01:08:45People of Domatina,
01:08:47we present Pepillo!
01:08:49Yeah!
01:08:51Happy days!
01:08:53We've been happy!
01:08:55Pepillo!
01:08:59Flying boy Pepillo!
01:09:03Go, go, go!
01:09:05Go, go, go!
01:09:07Watch me fly, Mr. Pete!
01:09:10Watch me!
01:09:12Nice job.
01:09:16I do have an engineering degree, after all.
01:09:18A paloma, a paloma!
01:09:20Wow!
01:09:22Wow!
01:09:24Pepillo!
01:09:26Look, I'm flying!
01:09:28Wow!
01:09:30Pepillo!
01:09:32Wow!
01:09:34Wow!
01:09:40Higher! Higher, padre!
01:09:45Higher!
01:09:50Viva Pepillo!
01:09:58Yes! Faster, padre!
01:10:01Yes!
01:10:07Yes!
01:10:09Let's go, padre! Let's go!
01:10:15Yes! Yes!
01:10:20Okay, Pepillo.
01:10:22That's enough, Pepillo.
01:10:24I don't want to get down.
01:10:26I want to fly.
01:10:29Faster!
01:10:31No, no, no. It's time to come in. Come on, now.
01:10:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:35No, no, no, no, no, no, Pepillo.
01:10:39You should stop.
01:10:41Come on!
01:10:45Pepillo, stop moving around like that.
01:10:47Pepillo, hey.
01:10:53Pepillo!
01:10:55Pepillo, you have to stop doing that.
01:10:58Hang on, father.
01:11:00Father, we've got to bring him in.
01:11:04Pepillo, stop!
01:11:06Are you okay? Are you okay?
01:11:08Run! Run along!
01:11:10Oh, my God!
01:11:12Pepillo!
01:11:16Pepillo, Pepillo.
01:11:18No, no, no, no.
01:11:20No, no, no, no. I will take him.
01:11:22No, no, don't move him. It can make it worse.
01:11:25Pepillo?
01:11:27Pepillo, papito.
01:11:29Pepillo, mi hijo.
01:11:36I think he's coming through.
01:11:38Saludas, Pepillo.
01:11:42Pepillo.
01:11:44There he is. Take it easy.
01:11:46Pepillo, can you hear us?
01:11:48Be you, baby.
01:11:50Are you okay?
01:11:52Are you okay?
01:11:56What are you doing?
01:11:58I'm on a walk.
01:12:00What?
01:12:02I'm on a walk.
01:12:04Does it hurt?
01:12:06No, I'm good.
01:12:08Be careful.
01:12:14What?
01:12:23Take him off.
01:12:25Does it hurt?
01:12:27No, it's not hurting.
01:12:29Damn.
01:12:31What?
01:12:39It's the new beat.
01:12:41Remember the dream?
01:12:53He's coming.
01:13:15Did you just see Faisal?
01:13:17I am not sure.
01:13:19I think so.
01:13:21He flew.
01:13:23He landed.
01:13:25Yeah?
01:13:27And now he's walking,
01:13:29just like San Judas de Dios told him he would.
01:13:31Do you think we just witnessed a real...
01:13:33Miracle?
01:13:35Yeah.
01:13:37No, no chance.
01:13:39There's got to be some sort of logical explanation,
01:13:41like, um...
01:13:43Like when he landed.
01:13:45Like when he landed.
01:13:47He must have fixed his spine.
01:13:49Whatever was out of place
01:13:51got knocked back into place.
01:13:53Like one of those stories
01:13:55when someone gets bumped in the head
01:13:57and they lose their memory
01:13:59and then they bump it again
01:14:01and they get their memory back, right?
01:14:03Yeah, exactly.
01:14:05Completely logical.
01:14:07Well, maybe it was just
01:14:09the power of positive thinking.
01:14:11You think?
01:14:13Or maybe...
01:14:15Just maybe...
01:14:17We witnessed
01:14:19an honest-to-goodness miracle.
01:14:21The miracle of Don Matina.
01:14:27Ha, ha, ha!
01:14:29Pepino! Pepino!
01:14:31Pepino! Pepino!
01:14:33Pepino! Pepino!
01:14:35Pepino!
01:14:37Pepino!
01:14:39Pepino!
01:14:41Pepino!
01:14:59Good morning.
01:15:01Have I told you lately
01:15:03how beautiful you are?
01:15:07That's sweet.
01:15:09You are.
01:15:11You're very beautiful.
01:15:13Pepino told me
01:15:15I should tell you that every day,
01:15:17so I'm getting an early start
01:15:19trying to make up for lost time.
01:15:25I'll get it this time.
01:15:27I'll get it this time.
01:15:37Buenos dias, Pepino.
01:15:39Señorita, the bus. If you want a ride,
01:15:41you must hurry.
01:15:49Honey?
01:15:51The bus is here. It's time to go.
01:15:53Feels like we just got here.
01:15:57Well, I guess that's about it.
01:15:59We'd better get going if we want to get
01:16:01to the car rental place before it closes.
01:16:03I want to thank you.
01:16:05Both of you. Without your help,
01:16:07there would have been no miracle.
01:16:09We could say the same about Don Matina.
01:16:11Well, then we are all blessed.
01:16:13Vaya con Dios. Gracias.
01:16:15Thank you, padre.
01:16:17Hey, I'll be back in a week to pick up the car,
01:16:19and then you and Pepino will drive home with me.
01:16:21We want to take you to a good orthopedist
01:16:23and make sure your miracle stays a miracle, okay?
01:16:25Thanks for everything, guys.
01:16:27And you have to come, too.
01:16:29We have some shopping to do for your wedding.
01:16:31Oh, my God.
01:16:33Oh, you have a good man.
01:16:35You do. Don't let him go,
01:16:37even if he becomes El Torito.
01:16:39I won't. I promise. Not ever.
01:16:41Okay. Bye.
01:16:43Bye.
01:16:55Bye.
01:17:01Bye.
01:17:09That's a lot of paperwork.
01:17:11They sure don't make it easy to adopt a child, do they?
01:17:13I know we're gonna be just fine.
01:17:19You okay?
01:17:21Yeah.
01:17:23All right, I think. We have NSAID, don't we?
01:17:25Yeah, there should be some in the medicine cabinet.
01:17:27Okay.
01:17:53Okay.
01:18:23Pete?
01:18:25Yeah.
01:18:33You okay?
01:18:37I'm fine.
01:18:41I-I-I'm more than fine.
01:18:47You're kidding.
01:18:49You're pregnant?
01:18:51You're pregnant?
01:18:53No.
01:18:55Yes. I mean, no, I'm not kidding.
01:18:57Yes, I'm pregnant, yes.
