- Move that piece of junk!

- Shut up!

Oh, sh*t.

Hi, I'm Lauren Adrian,

journalist from the United States.

I need to speak to Senora Casillas?

She's busy now.

It's an emergency.

- Gracias.

- Si.

Lauren Adrian?

- You Teresa Casillas?

- I thought the interview was tomorrow.

Yeah, but I have a situation.

I have a girl with me.

She was raped...

and almost killed in the desert.

She's weak. She's in my car.

And I'm gonna need some help.

Of course.

This is dangerous.

I don't think you know

how dangerous this is.

The government here doesn't want

anyone to know about these things.

If you go around

telling people about this...

- then you become their enemy.

- But this is an important story.

A story that I desperately

want to tell.

Even if you find Eva's attackers...

she will have to identify them

in a formal court proceedings...

before she can have any trial.

The court will not be on her side

and she would have no protection.

She's going to be putting

her life in danger.

Will she be able to do this?

She crawled out of her own grave.

She wants to do this, Teresa.

There you are.

This place is so beautiful.

It doesn't seem real.

It's real.

She's gonna let you

stay here for awhile...

so you don't have to go back

to the hotel or anything.

He came to me that last night

at the hotel.

Who came to you?

The Devil.

Eva, there was nobody

at the hotel last night.

- He was.

- It wasn't real.

The Devil wasn't there.

There's a doctor here to see you.

He's going to help you get better.

Are you going to fight for me?

Of course I'm going

to fight for you.

Lauren? This is the doctor.

Lauren Adrian.

- Mucho gusto.

- Mucho gusto.

- This is Eva.

- Hola, Eva.

I'm Doctor Cervantes.

- Lauren?

- Diaz. You all right?

I'm fine. The police

released me this morning.

But the mothers, they found

another body in Lotte Bravo.

- Really?

- You have to come. Quickly.

I'm coming right now.

No photographs!

- It's digital.

- Senor, senor.

It's starting to feel like

old times.

Did you see? She was strangled

with one of her shoelaces.

It's one of the patterns.

The Chief of Police right up there.

'Scuse me. Hi, I'm Lauren Adrian

from the Chicago Sentinel.

I don't have time

for any interviews.

But doesn't this killing prove that

there are murderers in Juarez?

This is not one of the murders.

It's a case of domestic violence.

- Domestic violence?

- The murders are the work of one man.

- His name is Al-Abar.

- Haven't there been many murders...

- since he's been arrested?

- We have reason to believe...

he has been masterminding

these murders from prison.

I'd like an interview with him.

How can I get an interview?
