Title:
The year is 2021. Since the great crash of 2012, border relations between the United States and Mexico have reached a deadlock. With the legalization of “on-site executions” and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, illegal border crossing has overcome Cancer as the leading cause of death in the United States.
Ext – Under a bridge:
A number of people crouch under a dirty and bombed out old bridge. In front of the entrance stands Bibo Plitzkin, the coyote. He is looking through night vision goggles. Liz looks back into the tunnel and thinks about the 5 of 6 other people waiting with her. She was ready.
BIBO
(speaking mostly to Liz)Alright, looks like there’s allot of Sentinels out there. We’re gonna go ahead and jump out in a minute or so.
Everyone starts to look around and while some get ready, others mumble around in confusion. A girl in their midst begins to speak.
LIZ
(SP)He said that we’re going to start in a couple minutes so everyone should get ready.
Many of the people start speaking nervously and clamoring. An older woman breaks into a Spanish hail mary and everyone joins in except Bibo. The sound resonates in the echoes.
After the words, everyone stood up and began to get ready.
BIBO
(Mournfuly) Do exactly what I do. Hagan exactamente lo que yo hago. Remember (pointing at his shirt) What would Bibo do?
Time stood still. Liz looked around and at caught a glimpse of a toy sitting in the sand a few feet away.
BIBO
Let’s go.
The group crosses the sand at Dusk. They do exactly as Bibo asks them to do.
Bibo walks them cautiously through various terrains. He occasionally stops them using Vietnam hand gestures and seems very cautious. At one point they come on a little boy who is crying in the road. He tells everyone to be quiet. A woman can’t help it and runs into the street to pick up the child, she is taken down immediately.
BIBO
Go Go Go!
As Bibo directs them, his image flickr’s and fades, he was a hologram. Liz begins to run. As she runs people are taken down around her. Just as she thinks she will make it, she is shot down to the floor. She looks up as she passes out and smiles at the sign stating proudly “Bienvenidos a Mexico”
