HORACIO:
(trying hard)
You’re all... like a real woman.
She relents, approaches and sticks out her hand, in a
cordial, but cold handshake. Horacio reciprocates warily.
NANA:
She’s done nothing but talk about
you.
Appalled and embarrassed, Sayra retreats.
NANA:
You’ll have lots of time together,
now.
HORACIO:
I wish Mami, but with Yessenia
alone with the kids... we’ll leave
tomorrow on the congol.n.
NANA:
So Soon? You can’t stay longer?
(to Sayra)
You packed?
SAYRA:
No.
NANA:
Then you better get started.
7.
SAYRA:
I don’t want to go.
This comes as a shock.
NANA:
The hell you don’t.
SAYRA:
I never said I’d go for sure.
The entire room breaks into noise.
NANA:
It’s what’s best.
SAYRA:
I don’t want to go with him. Do
you want me to leave, Nana?
The old woman doesn’t exactly say no, it’s pretty clear she’d
rather the girl left. Sayra looks around the room. The
attention and pressure infuriates and hurts her.
Sayra walks out of the house. Suddenly Clarissa is left
behind, awkwardly, in the room -- she turns and looks at
Orlando.
6 EXT. TAPACHULA TRAIN YARD (AKA LA BOMBILLA), MEXICO - DAY 6
The train yard, populated with about 50 CENTRAL AMERICAN
IMMIGRANTS, has four tracks and an abandoned passenger
platform.
El Casper and the boy, now known as SMILEY, sit on the
platform. El Casper, visibly bored, watches over the
immigrants like a shepherd. Smiley copies Casper whenever he
adjusts his sitting position.
LUCRESIA, a transvestite with boxer shorts hiked up over a
tight T-shirt and a bucket balanced on her head saunters by.
She has a sassy sense of humor with rapid-fire responses to
anyone who makes a comment to her.
She notices Smiley -- the “new” member and makes a sarcastic
comment. Casper ignores her but notices she is also selling
COLORFUL FELT FLOWERS from a plastic bag.
His cell phone BEEPS. He pulls out the phone. Text message:
ONDE STAS? He stuffs the phone back in his pocket, eager it
seems, to move.
8.
Casper whistles at Lucresia, calling her over.
7 EXT. COLONIA CONFETI BRIDGE - TAPACHULA, MEXICO - DAY 7
El Casper and Smiley walk across a metal bridge spanning an
oily creek filled with garbage.
On the other side FOUR kids fish despite the pollution. One
of them is drawing an MS13 “X3” on the bridge.
KIDS:
Casper!
They jump up and flash the gang’s sign. El Casper kicks one
of them in the butt then hurries on.
8 EXT. MARKET HILL CLAPBOARD HOUSE - DAY 8
He starts to climb through the window of a simple looking one-
story house, but stops and turns around to Smiley.
EL CASPER:
Wait here.
SMILEY:
How long? El Lil' Mago said we
were supposed to stay in La
Bombilla-
EL CASPER:
-Not long.
He climbs into the window.
9 INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS 9
A 15 year-old girl, MARTHA MARLEN, lies sleeping on a couch.
Casper admires her peaceful, smooth face, sleepy eyes,
sweating beading on her forehead.
He gently sits down next to her and leans forward, but before
he can kiss her she awakens, laying out a barrage of slaps
and catching him by surprise.
EL CASPER:
Stop it! What are you doing?
He grabs her flailing hands and forces her back, falling on
top of her.
