Miss Bala Page #3

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?

Get her in, get her in!

- Block the street!

- Don't let anybody through. Get her inside.

- Cali, stand watch!

- Let's go! Don't let anybody else through.

Nobody else goes through!

Let's go, hurry!

Clear out! Clear out! Let's move.

Come and get it, pigs.

Lino, we're clearing out.

Go down the main boulevard...

You smoked them, Canelita.

Hey, man, see who's in charge

of that beauty queen thing.

We're gonna help her get in.

How does that sound, Canelita?

Come on, smile.

The pigs are on Juarez Street.

Keep your eyes open, stand guard.

They're goners, they left.

Keep going, we're clear.

What does a miss do,

aside from sitting on her ass all day?

She makes money.

What if I do get you in?

Those on the right are with us,

they'll let you through.

Any news on my friend?

Okay, we're going straight.

I'm working on it. Give me time.

Keep going straight,

cross Defensores.

You got it. We're headed that way.

Through Anzures, do you copy?

Copy. We got a green light.

Let's move, let's go.

Keep going straight. It's clear.

Those on Serdan Street are with us.

I'll let you know when we move again.

We're staying here for now.

Laura, we made a mistake.

I've signed you up. Here's your number.

And Suzu?

We're waiting for her.

I need you to fill in some info.

You're in, Canelita.

In a little while,

they'll bring your friend to you.

Buy yourself the nicest dress

you can find.

Parca here will drive you.

And later, you go to the hideout.

No, thanks.

I'm not asking you.

She was on the phone with someone.

Give me your phone.

Who did you call?

I sent a message to my friend.

I told you I was taking care of that.

I don't want you using your phone.

Give me another one.

How long has it been

since we used this one?

This one is old, it's clean.

I want you to take her to buy a dress.

Then take her to the hideout.

You got it, boss.

I'll call you later.

Okay?

- Is there another exit?

- Where are you going?

Sorry. Thanks.

Can I help you with something?

Hello.

I'm looking for a dress.

What's the occasion?

For a beauty pageant.

In our store, all of the dresses

are custom-made.

You won't find anything

under $1000.

Yeah, I have the money.

Here is the green one you liked.

- Thanks.

- Let me know if you need anything else.

Yes?

Canelita, where are you?

Here.

Here, where?

Everything okay? Do you need help?

I'm sorry.

I don't have anything!

I didn't do anything!

Go home.

Where were you?

- Where's Dad?

- In his room.

Where did you sleep?

With Suzu. Be quiet.

- Cover for me?

- Yes.

Open up.

What's going on?

What's wrong, Lau?

Nothing.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Why did you go away?

Also, during the operation...
