- Where?

They're in Guatemala City

in a brothel.

- They're going to call me soon with a name.

- A brothel.

These men, Holly, they will make as

much money off of them as they can.

- And then they will sell them.

- How far is it?

Four hours in a brothel.

Ally, she is...

she is just a girl.

We have to do something

the police... We have to...

We have to call. We have to

call them right now.

No. The men will catch word

and move them again

we will lose the trail.

No. No. No, no, no!

No, you don't understand!

She's just a girl!

- She's just a girl!

- Miss Drew, please.

[Screaming]

This is out

of your control, hmm?

Cllate.

She only has to hang on

for four more hours.

That's all. Okay?

Laura, where are we?

I don't know.

It's Guatemala City,

I think.

Ally, listen to me.

The second this bus stops

and we get any chance, we run.

We run together, okay?

[Sobbing]

[Man]

Shh.

[Sobbing]

No!

[Sobbing]

No, no! No! No!

No!

[Sobbing]

No!

- [Thud]

- [Screaming]

[Thudding continues]

[Spanish P.A. chatter]

[P.A. continues]

[Industrial music plays]

[Laughing]

- Will she be back?

- Not this time.

[Gasps]

Food. Comida, come. Coffee?

Okay. It was not easy.

[Chuckles]

I just find out where

the brothel is located.

- Where?

- Thirty minutes from here.

- Well, let's go!

- Yes, let's go.

- Where's Raul?

- Raul? Uh...

He's going to catch

another ride home.

He's still mad

about the pantalone.

He's very peculiar.

Okay.

- How much longer?

- Five minutes.

Okay.

Ready? Here we go.

Holly, please.

Allow me, por favor.

I'll take Guadalupe.

- What do you know?

- [Translator speaking Spanish]

Holly, please lock the door.

Fern, I'd like to try talking

to her, if that's okay.

Of course, yeah. Please?

What the hell?

You know what I was saying.

Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?

Go check the back.

Please. Please.

- Huh?

- [Grunts]

- Hmm?

- [Grunts]

[Holly]

Is everything all right?

[Woman speaking Spanish]

No, everything is fine, dear.

[Woman continues]

Oh!

Fern! Fern,

this is Ally's.

[Woman continues]

Ahh.

This one is very disdainful.

[Door rattles]

[Shell clatters]

[Slow acoustic guitar]

[No audible dialogue]

[Music continues]

How much farther

to Tenosique?

[Phone rings]

What is it?

The authorities

pulled over the orange bus.

Only the driver was aboard.

He resisted

and he was killed.

We still know where

they're going, right?

Right?

El Hotel de California.

Hotel California?

It's where all the deals

are made in Tenosique.

If we do not catch up

to her there,

she will vanish.

Forever.

[Thunder]

[Fern]

Es el Hotel California.

[Holly]

It looks empty.

[Fern] That is

El Tren de la Muerte.

The Train of Death?

Si, de la Muerte, eh?

They will hide her on it.

Well, where does it go?

To the north.

All the way to the U.S.

What's with the name?

The migrants,

they stow away on it.

The bandits and the gangsters

rape or kill them

along the way.

Some of them, eh,

- they just fall off.

- So, what's our plan?

[Vehicle approaching]

[Holly]

Is that them?

[Thunder]

They're coming out.

- Fern, Fern.

- Ahh.

- Who are the soldiers?

- Mexican State Police.

- Why aren't they doing anything?

- [Chuckles] Come.

How am I supposed to know?

That train is surrounded

by corrupt police,

traffickers, gangsters,

and bandits,

and those that I don't

generally like all that much.

Oops. It was loaded.

Ha!

I am not going to go

anywhere near that train.

This is where

the road ends for me.

- What do you mean?

- I bring you all the way here.

- It should be enough.

- [Thunder]

But Ally's down there.

I don't understand.

My reasons for helping

have expired.

Get on the train.

- The train?

- You keep your head down,

and you should blend in.

But do not talk.

Your accent will

give you away.

Blend in with the migrants.

And when you find

your daughter?

- You jump off.

- Jump off?

The train is slow.

You jump far from it,

you should be fine.

- And what, then?

- Find the police.

- Police?

- The other police. The good ones.

Fern, this is suicide.

Please, come with me.

How far...

are you willing to go

to get her back?

What's this?

Every woman take that

before getting on the train.

It's the, uh,

how do you call...

the morning after pill.

- [Thunder]

- If you get caught,

your body becomes

a bargaining chip.

Fern, please...

It's 500. This is all

I have on me.

I hope it's enough

to buy her back.

But know this,

if they make a deal with you,

they will honor it.

These people live

off the ransom money.

If the word gets out they are not

living up to their agreements,

no one pays the ransom.

Now go.

Godspeed, Miss Drew.

This whole time you weren't

helping Milagra or me.

You were helping

the angry orphan.

Milagra said to tell you it's not

your fault Laura got killed.

She said you were like

a son to her, Fernando Duarte.

Gracias.

Where is Roberto Antigua?

Who?

2,000 cash.

You and the girl... go.

I don't have that much.

I have...

I have 500.

500 and you stay with us...

Daughter...

free.

What about me?

How do I know

you'll let her go?

Do we have a deal?

Let her go first.

[Quietly]

Don't touch her.

[Sobbing]

Don't you touch her.

Don't you touch her!

[Sobbing]

Roberto Antigua.

No.

I am not him.

[Chuckles]

[Acoustic guitar playing]

[Siren chirps]

Ally! Oh!

Mom!

[Sobbing]

[Music continues]

Thank you, Fernando.

And you, too...

Holly Drew. Hmm.

Yeah.

- You behave.

- [Chuckles] Yes, sir.
