I Witness Page #3

Don't get in my way.

Castillo, what exactly

is your problem?

You people show up screaming

human rights...

and good cops start to lose

their jobs. Not the Jefes upstairs.

It's the little people like me

that get the sh*t.

Well if this case is clean

you got nothin' to worry about.

- I'm just here to help.

- Oh, like a saint, eh?

You gringos have been slappin' us

down with one hand and pickin' us...

up with the other for so long you

think it's the natural order...

of things. But let me tell you

something. I won't be slapped...

and I won't be patronized,

by some wanna-be hero...

who thinks he can ride

in on peachy white horse...

save us pobre Mexicanos.

- That's an observer.

- James Rhodes...

International Rights Watch.

Come this way.

Twenty-four victims.

Ages three months...

to sixty-seven years.

- Cause of death...

- Asphyxiation.

Si. Time of death approximately

sixty hours prior to discovery...

which would place the tunnel

collapse at about six a. M...

on Saturday the third.

What were they doing in that

tunnel? No tools were found.

The tunnel fell down on them

before they started to work.

- But how do you explain the children?

- Lack of daycare, Gringo.

That's the problem with these drug

traffickers. They never offer it.

You said there were

twenty-for bodies.

I counted twenty-seven

at the scene.

Three died from gunshot wounds

near the tunnel entrance.

- They were shot?

- Nine millimeter.

Close range.

How do you explain that,

Detective?

Oh you always seem to show up

at the right time, Douglas.

Just like Triple A.

So what time do you think it is?

Ten-twenty.

I was wondering if you

could do me a favor.

I was hoping you could keep

an eye on James Rhodes for me.

Uh, that's not a favor,

that's an affliction.

He's been investigating that

incident at the border, the...

in the drug tunnel

for the Valdon Cartel.

What exactly is Valdon involvement?

Are we talking fact or spin?

Fact.

Valdon's a pro, why would

he do such a sloppy job?

I don't know.

Who can see into the minds

of soulless men?

Certainly not me, Douglas.

So, what's the favor?

Rhodes.

All I'm asking for is

a phone call, Emily.

Just let me know

if he goes off on a tangent.

Is that all?

Sure you don't want me to

assassinate him or anything?

This is a very delicate time.

I got the cops to back

off on the union demonstrators.

This is gonna cost you.

It already has.

I saw it. Okay? I was there.

I saw everything that happened.

- Your people started the violence.

- They weren't my people.

They were wearing masks. The company

hired them to make trouble for us.

- It's that big thug, Zato.

- Look, all I can do...
