Miss Bala Page #4

Synopsis: At 23, Laura Guerro and her friend Suzu enter the Miss Baja pageant. Both qualify, and while Laura waits at a nightclub for Suzu to break away so they can go shopping, a heavily-armed drug gang murders drug enforcement officials there. Laura escapes unharmed but can't find Suzu, so the next day she looks for her; her dogged behavior brings her to the cartel's attention, and they force her to assist them as they menace her father and younger brother. Lino, the gang's leader, decides Laura should finish the pageant although her only interest is escape. Every day drags her deeper and corruption is pervasive. What alternative is there to death or prison?

Later, he'll ask you to go to his room.

Or he'll invite you somewhere else.

What if he doesn't invite me?

Just flirt with him

and forget about the rest.

You know what we need.

We want to know

when you're alone with him.

Take this. We'll call you when you're inside.

Don't hang up.

Stay on the line.

Come on, get out. Hurry, hurry.

What's the purpose of your visit?

My name is Laura Guerrero.

I'm here for the Miss Baja event.

- Hello, welcome. They're waiting for you.

- Hello.

- Where's the crown?

- Thank you.

Where were you?

Why did you disappear? Smile.

Don Salomn.

General, how are you?

- Luisa, it's a pleasure seeing you again.

- Laura, come.

I want you to meet Laura,

the new Miss Baja California.

She was crowned yesterday.

Freshly crowned, and I must say

she has a nice appearance.

I'm at your service, general.

Take a seat, have a drink with us.

Thank you, very kind of you,

but I have to return to my table.

She's a hottie, general.

- Look, you made the front page.

- You look good in the picture.

What time is the interview?

Four o'clock p.m., but we have to

arrive earlier for makeup.

- Miss, from the general.

- Thank you.

Beauty Queen Overnight

I'm going to give you this phone.

Carry it at all times.

You can't disappear

like you did yesterday.

You caused a lot of problems

with the interviews.

And you have to smile more often.

What are the secretaries

from the mayor's office doing here?

Excuse me.

Bodies left at the

Embassy identified

Yes.

Yes.

I'm Laura Guerrero.

I'm here to see General Duarte.

I have a Laura Guerrero

here to see the general.

Let her through.

Go ahead.

Please.

- Look, it's that blind guy.

- What blind guy?

The one that sings.

Sir, Miss Laura is here.

All right.

Come in, please.

You have to get it together.

What's important is that you send me

some men that can stay with me.

Make yourself a drink.

Start getting undressed.

That incident with the gringo

has caused me serious problems.

I have to issue a report very soon.

They're gonna kill you.

They're going to kill you.

They're listening to us.

Oh, yeah, baby, that's it.

Open your legs.

Stay calm.

Go, go, go.

Close off the area. Let's go, let's go.

Make sure there's no one left

in the rooms.

They're all yours. We're all set.

She's under the bed, get her out.

Bring the girl over here.

F*** her up!

Ready?

- Sir, can I please make a phone call?

- Sorry, babe, we're about to start.

Let's go.

Keep your head up, babe.

The spokesperson for the attorney general

will give us a detailed report...

...of yesterday's operation.

In a joint effort...

...federal, state and local police...

...fought and defeated

the criminal group known as La Estrella.

In this operation, the lives

of Captain Agustin Robles...

...and eight state policemen were lost...

...along with those of eight criminals.

Among them, the leader of the group,

Chalino Valdez, a.k.a. Lino...

...and one of his personal bodyguards

Lorenzo San Martin, a.k.a. To.

Also captured during the operation...

...Laura Guerrero,

formerly Miss Baja California...

...allegedly responsible for parking

the vehicle at the embassy...

...containing the bodies of Commander

Fernandez, Agent Raymond Bell...

...as well as Azucena Ramos, civilian.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

The stunning young lady on your screen,

who was crowned Miss Baja California...

... has just been arrested.

Her name is Laura Guerrero,

she's from Tijuana, Baja California.

They found her in possession of weapons,

over 1000 cartons of ammo...

... and approximately $100,000.

The young lady is being linked

to the criminal group La Estrella...

... who were captured during

an operation by federal and state police...

... where there was an attempt

against General Salomn Duarte.

She was the only woman captured

amongst the powerful criminal group.

I repeat, her name is Laura Guerrero.

On the phone with us is Luisa Janes,

pageant coordinator.

Thank you for letting me

voice my opinion.

This is definitely a very delicate subject

and a real shame.

The actions of girls like her

are a real embarrassment to Mexico.

The Miss Baja California pageant

condemns these actions.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Let me go!

THE MEXICAN DRUG WAR

HAS CAUSED THE DEATHS...

...OF OVER 36,000 PEOPLE

BETWEEN 2006 AND 2011.

IN MEXICO ALONE...

...DRUG TRAFFICKING GENERATES
