We're coming in.

I have you in sight.

There's another one too.

There's a man

running with bags.

We've got a man running

with bags underneath him,

- but don't know-

- another one, hard right.

Border protection.

You are in US territory.

Border protection.

You are on US territory.

You are in US territory

illegally and are under arrest.

Stop the car immediately

or we will open fire.

This is your final warning.

Stop the car or we will open fire.

I have an unidentified

vehicle.

This is your final warning.

If you do not stop, we will open fire.

You are now

in Mexican territory,

under the jurisdiction

of the Mexico Police Department.

A brown vehicle containing

unidentified passengers

just crashed through the border

and are now in Mexico.

Two packs of those chips.

Yeah, okay.

And, uh... what are

those things there?

The-

are they bananas?

Yeah, one of those.

- How much is that?

- 25 pesos.

Uh, in dollars?

- Do you take dollars?

- 2.50.

Okay.

Thanks.

Hey, this is all they have.

I got some chips.

Are you hungry?

Why am I here-

in this place?

I went to get gas and...

I didn't wake you

'cause you were sleeping.

And when I came back...

guess who had gone?

Don't you remember?

I drove around that entire

desert like a crazy woman.

You didn't hear me?

Didn't hear me hollering?

Completely f***ed my car.

I had to get a new one.

- Where was I?

- Well, good question.

Listen to me,

you're a f***ing kid.

To go off into the desert

like that

is so f***ing dumb.

- What would I have told your mother?

- I don't want to see her.

What do you mean you

don't want to see her?

I wanna go home.

Look, we're so near it now.

You know, we crossed

the border last night.

We're in Mexico now.

We're in her country.

We're in your country.

This is Mexico?

Is this where she lives?

Hey, how about that?

You like that?

- No, those aren't good.

- Why not?

- It's got a ball-

- I can do it myself.

I'm gonna go over there, okay?

I'll wait for you there.

Okay?

I'm gonna be

watching you, okay?

Uh, excuse me,

could I have a cerveza?

Please? A cerveza.

There.

Do you know a good-

a cheap hotel

Near here?

Thanks.

- What is cheap for you?

- Uh, I don't know.

Not expensive,

not- nothing fancy.

Just some- I don't know,

family place?

Cerveza, por favor.

- You want help?

- No, it's okay, thanks.

You need a hotel?

I know a pretty good one.

It's around here.

I can show you.

It's like two blocks

in the main street-

- I'm just waiting on a friend.

- Oh.

You shouldn't be

alone here, you know?

- Oh really?

- Uh-huh.

A pretty lady like you

in Tijuana?

This is bad for you.

- Oh, it is?

- Mmm.

Why is that?

You see, I don't want

to scare you, but...

- You don't want to scare me?

- Well, I mean,

No, really.

This town is full of thieves.

Mmm.

Yeah, you better go

to a beautiful place.

We have a lot of-

Mazatlan,

por ejemplo...

Puerto Vallarta

is beautiful.

Acapulco is

very touristic.

So I can take you.

I can be your guide.

I can take you there

if you want.

Oh, I see, right.

You can be sure of one thing:

that when I am in the market

for a tourist guide,

I'll remember you,

Mr. This-is-bad-for-you.

So I'm Diego Sierra.

You got nothing better

to do with your time, Diego,

than hit on gringos in bars?

What if she calls

and you're sleeping?

I'm not sleeping.

I'm just closing my eyes.

You have no idea

how tired I am.

Will you turn off

the light?

I'm all dressed.

Great.

- Welcome?

- It's Julia Harris.

I'm calling for the money.

Tom's being treated well.

He's okay. Nothing- nothing

bad has happened to him.

Now listen to me.

A man came to see me.

He recognized you

from the papers.

He had, you know, a lot of problems

with his wife and his kids.

If you know what I'm talking about,

don't say his name, just say yes.

Yes.

Now the police don't know

anything about him.

He talked to me about you

And I choose to trust you and you

know you can trust him as well.

He's your friend.

He will give you the money

and you will give us back Tom.

He'll be on his own,

no cops,

and then I want you

to disappear.

Okay.

All three of us must make sure

Tom is coming back home.

I'll call him now.

- He is waiting.

- Okay.

- Man:
Yeah?

- Mitch?

- Is that you?

- Julia.

I suppose you talked

to Whytekear, right?

Julia, you can talk.

Nobody's listening in, Julia.

- Is the boy all right?

- Yeah, he's fine.

- Just don't hurt him.

- Don't hurt him?

Is that what you

think of me, Mitch?

And I suppose you- I suppose

that's what you told him, right?

That I'm some- what?

alcoholic degenerate moron?

No, that's what he thought

before I talked to him.

Okay?

Listen, I'm interested

in one thing.

One thing!

Getting that kid back home, yes.

Okay. Well...

- you bring the money here.

- Where?

In Tijuana-

At the airport.

When can you get there?

Was that her?

Yeah, she just Hung up.

Why didn't you get me?

Huh?

Oh, I wanted to,

but she wanted you to sleep.

It seems like she has to come down from

the mountains- that's where she's from,

and she'll be here

tomorrow.

Why did she say to let me sleep?

Listen, why don't we-

the two of us,

- just celebrate, huh?

- Celebrate what?

Your mom's coming tomorrow, huh?!

- Really?

- Yeah, a fiesta!

Thanks.

Okay, we'll have

two orders of that,

And... what?

Why do you have to order for me?

- You have a better idea?

- I can pick my own!

Well, pipe up, buddy.

Come on, what do you want?

You can make sense

of that?

Time's up. We'll have two orders

of that- the carne con frijoles,

and I'll have-

with fries.

And I'll have

another gin- triple.

Can you get through yours?

Not very well.

- Ah, my shirt!

- What?

- It's got ketchup on it.

- It's okay, just wipe it off.

- Get it off, get it off!

- I can't even see it.

- Get it off.

- Just wipe it off.

Let me do it then.

Let me do it.

She's not gonna notice.

I mean, kids are always dirty.

Everybody knows that.

Listen to you,

Mr. Get-it-off!

I heard your grandfather

coming through there, mister.

Oh yeah? Well, when my

grandfather started out,

He had nothing.

He's tough.

My father's dead

because he was weak.

He wasn't able to see what

was important in his life.

- You never even knew him.

- He chose drugs over me and my mom.

I knew that about him. He was always

gone, leaving me and her alone.

I don't want to be like him.

Well, sure,

so he f***ed up.

But, you know, I mean,

what? He took drugs?

I have news for you.

Not everybody is 100% perfect.

I hate him.

You don't have to hate him.

He's dead.

It doesn't count anymore.

When you were born,

He thought that you were the best

thing that had ever happened to him.

Oh yeah? That's 'cause the

rest of his life meant nothing.

Your mother and your father, they

had years of happiness together.

And you're

the proof of that.

My mother is a lost soul.

Your mother

is a lost soul, huh?
