135 EXT. POTTERS FIELD, MCALLEN, TEXAS - DAY 135

The same pine box is slid into a grave, then filled with dirt

by a tractor. A wooden cross reads: “Sin Nombre” and is

surrounded by hundreds of similar wooden crosses marked with

the same “Sin Nombre.”

136 EXT. THE MARCHES OF MCALLEN - DAY 136

Sayra walks in a sort of trance through a field of tall,

green grass and flowers. Her face is both tired and

peaceful.

As Willy described it, there is something beautiful about the

Texan landscape, like a painting, especially in the early

light.

137 EXT. MCALLEN, TEXAS - DAY 137

Sayra walks across a wide boulevard into the gigantic parking

lot of a super mall.

She sees a pay phone on the sidewalk. She stares at it. She

decides to go to it.

She picks up the receiver, reads the info on the phone,

written in Spanish, on how to make COLLECT CALLS. She dials

the number she was forced to memorize.

SAYRA:

(whispering to herself)

9-0-8-555-0-1-8-7

The muffled voice of an OPERATOR echoes through the line.

Sayra is confused, she answers in english “yes” with out

knowing what she is answering to.

The phone begins to ring. And ring. And ring. The VOICE of

Yessenia picks up the phone.

SAYRA:

Yessenia? This is... Sayra.

As we pull high and away, we loose her in the colorful mosaic

of hundreds of cars.
