O.K., be quiet.

O.K.

Why are you bringing the tapes?

It's for the police. Someone's

gotta shut these f***ers down.

Alberto.

O.K.

Here, here-- take, take this.

What if they see the lights?

They can't, it's night vision.

Travis, I can't see.

Just follow us.

We got night vision.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

They make them sleep like this.

Hey.

Shh!

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, where is it?

Oh, oh sh*t.

What is it?

Hold the fence.

Travis, what the f***

are you doing? Get down!

Travis, what are you doing?

All right, this is taking too

long, we gotta go.

Take this. O.K., O.K.

Easy, easy.

Oh sh*t.

F***, f***.

Can't see sh*t.

- F***, where's Alberto? We gotta go!

- Hey!

Shh.

Alberto.

Come on, Alberto, back up.

What's going on?

We gotta go, now.

O.K. Which way?

- Which way?

I still can't

see, I can't see.

It's all barbed wire.

- What is that?

- Oh God.

Shh.

Oh sh*t, run, run!

Help me! Help me!

Ahh!

I'm coming back.

I'm coming back.

Liz!

[Shouts in pain,

Ah, get him off!

Get him off! Help!

Pancakes.

Thank you, marta.

Good bacon. No, not him.

He's not eating.

I'm not hungry.

I must say.

I'm a little bit disappointed in you.

You said you'd let the kids go.

And we did.

No, you didn't.

Because we saw his daughter

there and there were dogs and

razor wire and-- they were given clear

instructions, but his daughter

didn't listen.

She took off in another direction.

But there's a lesson to be learned here.

Don't f*** with me.

The only way you're going

home is to do exactly what I tell you.

There's a few more things I'd

like to get on camera.

And if you challenge me again,

I'm gonna f***ing kill you.

Could you please pass me the syrup?

Thank you, Travis.

You'll have to excuse the mess.

Marta and the maids aren't

allowed in here, and...

I don't get too many visitors.

Sorry about that.

I've been wondering something.

When you came in through the

drug tunnel, what did you think

of my work?

I mean the, the, you know,

the body in the tunnel.

Did it frighten anyone away?

Yeah.

One, I think.

One.

That's, that's a problem.

You see, I'm not here to build

a better mousetrap.

I'm here to build a better scarecrow.

The hell does that mean?

I'm glad you asked that.

Think about that body you saw.

All these videos that you're

shooting right now, when we send

them to the Mexican media,

it'll put the stopper on.

It'll say, "stay where

the f*** you are."

The right image can make all

the difference in the world.

I mean, that's why you're here.

That's the point of this video.

And to do that, the message

needs to be stronger.

Jesus!

"Jesus."

Oh, that's interesting.

"Jesus."

You know when the guy comes to

school and he wants somebody

from the audience, it's just like that.

I just want you to come upstage.

It's hard because she's lying

flat and she's all stiff.

I, I need somebody upright.

Well, you're a botticelli now.

But if I let you rot in the sun

a few days, you'll be rubenesque.

I'm gonna take a bone saw to her

skull, right below the hairline.

Right here.

Skull cap comes off.

Remove her brain, her eyes,

all the soft tissues.

Then, I'm gonna run electrical

wiring through her sinus

cavities to a hundred-watt bulb

at the back of her brain pan.

It'll look like a glowing, white halo.

Like an angel.

Imagine.

Our sweet, innocent girl here,

naked at the end of a tunnel.

Cradling her baby like the

Paints

quite a picture, doesn't he?

What's the surprise?

Gonna lecture again while you

kill someone?

On the contrary.

El toro screens the blood of

everyone who comes here.

And if they're clean, we'll make

a donation on their behalf.

And this man has been matched...

For a kidney.

The equation is very

simple-- by saving an American

life, we will spare his.

Hey.

We're not doing it for the money.

We're doing it for our country.

Hey, Remy, want to play spic-tac-toe?

- Can I go first?

- You can be "x" s.

Help me or get out.

Is he really a surgeon?

'Course he's a surgeon.

Ugh.

Gallo, you're a bleeder.

You know, he's the first

one to graduate from high school

in his family.

And then he just kept going

right through med school.

And then in his third year of

residency, on his way back from

the hospital, a gang of illegal

immigrants approached him.

All right, let's

clamp off the blood vessels.

O.K., get the cooler, let's go.

He gave them everything

he had in his pockets.

No, no, that wasn't enough.

Shh, he's a real good doctor.

Know what they did?

They f***ing cut his throat.

Gotta sew him up.

Doesn't make it right.

What was that?

It doesn't make it right.

Would you say the same thing?

Hey! Shut the f*** up.

F*** you.

Just film this.

If someone came up to you

with a f***ing box cutter and

just did this to you.

Hey, z.

I'd like to remove his corneas.

What do you think?

As long as he lives!

Take whatever fits in the cooler.

Jim-- sh*t!

Jim, Jim.

Hey, come back!

- It's all right...

- I got her.

You O.K.?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine, no, don't worry about it.

Worry about Jim.

Worry about Jim.

Worry about Jim.

F***, I don't know.

I don't know where he is.

I don't know.

They're playing with us.

They're never gonna let us go. Hey, don't.

They have no reason to.

We just need to find some leverage.

Somehow we just, we gotta find

something, there's gotta be...

All right, get up, come on. Bring the

cameras, let's go. Not until we see Jim.

I want you to record that

we're taking really good care of him.

Continue filming.

Hey.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Feel really good.

Yeah?

Good.

I want you to hang in there,

O.K., because we're gonna get

you home really soon.

Feel good.

Good, good.

Listen, man.

About last night, that was

just, I didn't, I was...

Don't worry about it, t.

All right.

Visitation's over!

Wait a minute.

Can we have five more minutes?

No.

Got a documentary to shoot.

Come on.

You know what?

All right, you want a documentary?

We'll have a documentary.

Over here.

Why are you doing this?

Why am I doing this?

Isn't that obvious by now?

Oh no I, I, I completely get it.

Illegal aliens cause crime.

They carry diseases.

So does everyone else.

This is all just racism posing

as patriotism.

I bet you rehearsed that all morning.

You want to know what

I think?

I'm thinking you're targeting

Oh, she can think now!

People like him and the people

I'm thinking you're targeting

people like him and the people

outside because they're

undocumented, and you get to do

your sick things on them and

think you can get away with it.

Your propaganda, your patriotic

front is bullshit.

You're not a patriot.

You're f***ing insane.

Don't take it!

No, no.

You feel that?

Now that's what the brain of

an idiot feels like.

You want to be an idiot?

Leave her the f*** alone!

This is how it ends.

Continue filming.

It's not coming off.

Yeah, don't worry, it'll come off.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, what's that?
