- But I'm the son of...
- Son of your mother!

:07:03
Hit the floor and shut up!
:07:06
I'm the son of Pedro Sanchez who
was the cousin of Joaquin Vargas...

:07:08
who was the nephew
of Francisco Vargas!

:07:14
But you're family!
Why didn't you say so before?

:07:22
Well, I tried, but...
:07:24
And how is Francisco?
:07:26
I used to herd cattle with him
in the San Fernando Valley.

:07:30
- Well, I never met him.
- And Joaquin? Little Joaquin?

:07:34
Well, I never really knew him,
either. Personally, I mean.

:07:38
How good it is to have
some family here.

:07:41
It's almost like
you're my own grandson!

:07:44
You must be tired and hungry...
:07:47
They called the old man
" El Californio"

:07:50
because he didn't come
from anywhere else.

:07:53
He was born here, in Los Angeles,
when it was still Mexico.

:07:58
My father had found
a new home.

:08:04
Even then there
were bridges.

:08:06
My father soon joined
the people crossing

:08:08
from their barrio on the east
river to do the work of the city

:08:12
on the other side.
:08:13
They mowed the lawns, took care
of the children, cleaned house,

:08:17
worked in restaurant
kitchens.

:08:19
But no one from the west river
ever crossed into the barrio.

:08:31
Make sure that they're
all cleaned up

:08:33
to go to Grandma's tonight.
:08:34
Give us a kiss.
:08:36
Love you.
:08:37
Love you. Oh, I love you.
:08:40
Bye!
:08:41
Tootles!
:08:48
Kids! Kids!
