He looked so vulnerable...

The client purchased a

follow-up to this story.

Play the memory.

How'd you get in here?

He needs someone to talk to...

He told me his father died.

Someone pays you to talk to me?

I tried to tell you.

I wanted to do something good

by telling your story.

You understand, right?

Never, never, trust

a woman with nodes.

Am I right?

What are you going to do?

Go back to the factory.

Are you crazy?

I can't go home like this...

with nothing.

When my first wife left me...

I put all of our memories on TruNode.

It was the happiest day of my life.

But still nobody's ever bought them!

Right?

I want you to have this...

Have you ever been there?

It's in Oaxaca. A tiny village.

I could have stayed.

It wouldn't be so bad.

Single or double?

For you mami, anything.

I appreciate it.

Approved for entry.

Twelve-hour night shift.

There has been no activity

forten seconds.

It's likely you fell asleep.

Your salary will be adjusted.

I want you to have th is.

It's yours.

I came here to tell stories.

To connect people.

But I lost my way.

And I'm sorry.

...he eats at the central market

every Sunday...

it reminds him of home.

You don't know me but...

I know you.

I've been following your story

on TruNode.

Luz's stories?

Yes.

I want to talk to you.

When I was a kid,

my dad brought me here to Tijuana...

to visit my grandma...

before the wall.

When I was young,

all I wanted was...

to be a soldier,

like the rest of my family.

So I signed up.

And a second later,

I'm a pilot.

And my first mission...

was in Mexico.

But I didn't expect...

to see...

I'm not going to hurt you.

Stop! I want to get off!

Please! Listen to me!

Next stop is up ahead!

Just listen to what I have to say...

and I'll leave, OK?

I was following orders.

And I'm sorry.

I wish I could change it but...

life's not like that.

And I don't know. I thought...

maybe I could help.

You came all the way here

to tell me that?

That you want to help?

How?

I just thought... Maybe...

And?

That I could do something...

for you.

Anything.

Hi.

I can't believe you're here.

You don't have to say anything.

I read your letter.

Really, I'm sorry.

Luz, I need your help.

You want me to plug him in?

You want me to plug him in?

Yes!

This is crazy. He's a killer.

He's here because of you.

Because of your stories.

That doesn't mean we have to help him!

Luz, think about it -

remember what you told me

about crossing to the other side?

Yes.

That's what he did.

He crossed over.

All we have to do is help him.

Approved for entry.

Twelve-hour night shift.

Rudy?

Memo told you...

He told me everything.

I'm sorry. It's just that...

I've never met one of my readers.

Let me see your arms.

Code approved. You may exit.

Over here. Come on.

Almost ready?

Just one more minute.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes.

Sometimes I'd forget where I was.

And everything came back to me.

Can we go a little lower?

That's good.

What's happening?

Take it to the left!

We're almost there.

Water!

Water!

It's a miracle, Memo.

You're not gonna believe it.

No one knows what's happening next.

If they'll rebuild it, or what.

But people are celebrating.

Hold on.

I'm taking the camera outside.

Can you see?

So, are you coming home?

So long.

Heading south?

He could never go home.

Neither could I.

But maybe there's a future for me here.

On the edge of everything.

A future with a past.

If I connect.

And fight.
