I Witness Page #6

Synopsis: Jim Rhodes is a human rights worker in Tijuana for a few days to make sure that union elections are fair at a maquiladora owned by a U.S. corporation. In quick succession, the police assault the strikers, the bodies of 27 peasants turn up in an abandoned tunnel that has caved in, and two U.S. teen bikers are missing. As Rhodes pokes around and speculates on connections among these events, he's beaten up, warned off by a drug dealer's attorney, and given varying degrees of help by the U.S. State Department rep, the U.S. Trade rep, and an honest local cop. It's always about money, but whose is at stake and how cheap is Rhodes's life?

Slick and scary,

He said he had one more job

for the villagers,

A quick stop,

I didn't know what he was going

to do, I swear to God,,, Oh my,,,

Okay.

He told them there were tools

at the end of the tunnel,,,

that needed to be carried out,

We drove to the desert

arroyo to dump the- the barrels.

When the barrels were emptied

the motorcycle boys came and,,,

they- they just drove

right through it,

God forgive me,

Who else knew?

Tell me who Logan called.

Tell him.

It was Captain Madrid.

They'd been paying him

to help break the union.

Father...

You all right?

I'm half Aztec

and half Conquistador.

I'm out of bullets.

We are under attack by Captain

Madrid and his men.

They have killed Father Perez

and Zato after the confession...

you have just heard.

Take this.

Take it and get

the hell out of here.

- Now way, hombre!

- Get out.

Get it to Detective Castillo.

This is proof. Go.

Go.

Go!

Madrid!

The boy works for Valdon!

He doesn't know anything.

I'm the one you want.

I know the truth.

Zato confessed to me.

I know everything.

Do you?

You're goin' down, Madrid.

I don't think so.

Ah f***...

Captain, was this all

the work of Valdon?

Si. It was terrible.

Valdon kidnapped Mr. Rhodes

and Father Perez.

In our attempt to free

them Mr. Rhodes and...

the priest got shot

and killed by the drug dealers.

Three of my men are also dead

and a forth badly wounded.

We got three of Valdon's men,

the rest got away.

I think Chief Fuentes would like

to make a statement.

No, but Detective Castillo would.

We are under attack

by Captain Madrid and his men,

They have killed Father Perez and

Zato after the confession,,,

- you have just heard,

- Captain Madrid...

Captain Madrid,

you are under arrest.

Yeah...

He's in custody, yeah.

I did them a favor, you know.

My wife wouldn't

even come down here.

She said, I'm not movin'

to the third world.

No! No, please!

Please no, please, please.

I didn't... Please don't.

Don't- don't- don't- don't.

No don't!

No-no! No! No!
