Bordertown Page #2

Lauren...

the number of women killed

is not 375.

It's just a number

the police concord up.

But the real number is

probably closer to 5 thousand.

Five thousand?

Maybe it is the devil.

I brought you something.

Remember this?

What?

We earned this together.

I know.

- Take it.

- No, you keep it.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- This is your family?

- Yeah.

Your wife?

- My wife.

- That was a stupid question.

Your boy. He looks like you.

Those bastards are trying

to take our papers.

You see? It is trying

to stall my liberty of paper.

They are trying to shut me down.

I am overwhelmed right now.

I'm fighting just to keep

my paper open. I can't help you.

- You don't mean that.

- Alfonso!

Another fire in Colonia Anapra.

People were stealing electricity again.

- A fire, what?

- Fires happen all the time.

There's no fire department,

there's no fire trucks.

What. Fire trucks?

There's no water.

Take those papers off the truck!

I don't care what they say!

Diaz, listen to me.

We can get the front page.

Think about it.

They'd never do this to you again.

What is this? More promises

of glory from George?

That's what you left me,

remember?

The answer is no.

Do you understand no? No!

Get more men to help!

You're blowing it, Diaz!

Big time!

What's going on over there?

That girl says that she was in hell

with the devil. And that she escaped.

It's all nonsense.

Open the door! Open the door!

You say your attacker

was the bus driver?

Could you identify him?

Yes... and the other man too.

Ask her if she has any marks

maybe on her neck...

or a bite mark on her breast.

I don't need to ask.

I have already seen... she does.

Do you know what this means?

A lot of our victims had

that bite mark on their breasts.

It all happened in Lotte Bravo.

Almost all the killings

happened there.

Has any other woman

ever survived an attack?

No, never.

This could blow the whole lid over

what's happening here in Juarez.

Have you told this

to any other newspapers?

- No, senorita.

- No?

Will you help me?

Si. We'll help.

Alfonso, the police are here.

You hear that, right? We can't

let the police get to them.

Don't worry. I don't have intentions

of giving them to the police.

We've got to get them out of here,

through the back. Come on.

I'm gonna go with them. This could be

the biggest story of the year.

She could never disappear in a crowd

with you, a blonde American?

You're going to put her life

in danger for a f***ing story?

But her life is already in danger.

She wants our help. Didn't you hear?

The police have assembled

a fort out there.

- Over here.

- No, no.

That's the first place

they would look.
