Miss Bala Page #2

Synopsis: At 23, Laura Guerro and her friend Suzu enter the Miss Baja pageant. Both qualify, and while Laura waits at a nightclub for Suzu to break away so they can go shopping, a heavily-armed drug gang murders drug enforcement officials there. Laura escapes unharmed but can't find Suzu, so the next day she looks for her; her dogged behavior brings her to the cartel's attention, and they force her to assist them as they menace her father and younger brother. Lino, the gang's leader, decides Laura should finish the pageant although her only interest is escape. Every day drags her deeper and corruption is pervasive. What alternative is there to death or prison?

- No, your friend's name.

- Azucena Ramos.

No, you have to go to the police station.

Come on, help me. Please.

Fine. Get in, quickly.

Tell me what happened.

We were just hanging out...

...and these people came.

- And then?

- They had guns...

...and they started shooting.

I think they took some people

in plastic bags.

- Wait a sec.

- I was scared.

Okay, give me a sec.

R-12, do you copy? R-12.

- Copy.

- I have a 38 on my hands.

She claims she was at yesterday's

incident, at the Millennium.

I'll get right back to you.

Let me check with R-1.

Yes, please. Check on it

and call me back. Thanks.

What were you doing there?

Wait.

Hello.

Yes.

Yes.

Correct.

I'm on my way.

Where are we going?

We're going just up ahead to the station.

They'll take down your statement.

I want you to testify

about everything you saw and heard.

What else did you see or hear?

It was very dark.

What's your name?

Laura.

Laura what?

Laura Guerrero.

Don't worry, Laura.

Wait right here.

I'll be back.

Don't move, I'm grabbing my lunch.

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for my friend.

What friend?

- She was with me at the Millennium.

- Check her out, make sure she's clean.

Sir, wait, what's going on?

Boss, that skinny chick

from the Millennium is here.

No.

Get over here. Get out.

- Sir, please, wait.

- Open the door.

No!

- Get her inside!

- Let me go!

Get her inside!

No!

Linito, we're on our way.

- Who sent you?

- Nobody, I came here on my own.

What does she want?

- What the f*** are you looking for?

- Sorry, I made a mistake.

- Let me go.

- She's clean, boss.

I swear I won't say a word.

- Sure it's the girl from yesterday?

- Yeah, from the bathroom.

She came with Toito,

looking for her friend.

- What the f*** are you looking for?

- Go ahead. You know what to do.

I'm sorry, sir.

I made a mistake, please let me go.

If I catch you lying,

I'll beat the sh*t out of you.

What's your name?

Laura Guerrero, sir.

Where do you live?

Phone number?

Who do you live with?

With my dad and my brother.

What do you do for a living?

We sell clothes.

What were you looking for?

I went looking for my friend Suzu after

fighting with the people from the pageant.

What pageant?

Miss Baja.

Okay, Canelita.

Listen, Canelita.

Stay calm.

Okay, Canelita. I'm gonna help you.

But I need you to do something for me.

What do you say?

Do you know how to drive?

Well?

Cali.

Gather the crew.

Okay, they're on their way.

Hide.

Canelita, here are the keys.

Stay down for a bit.

I'll be waiting for you outside, okay?

Let's go. Hurry, hurry.

Follow us, park where I tell you

and wait for us on the other side.

Hey, lady, get out of here.
