Despite the long ride to the Guatemalan border, Capitán Morales will not let the transport bus migrants move around or disembark to relieve themselves. Javi hates the federales and vows that everyone on the bus will try again to go north. He knows the Black man has traveled from Brazil, and the brothers have also tried before. Javi asks if Elena is Miguel’s girlfriend and suggests she will be a burden. Miguel tells Javier that Elena is only 13 and selfish and that it is her fault they were all caught. Brother and sister argue. Elena accuses Miguel of being selfish for leaving her behind and shouts she will never return to San Jacinto. Morales orders everyone to be quiet. The bus swerves, Morales falls, and his pants slip, exposing his bare bottom. Everyone laughs until Morales, pretending nothing happened, pulls out his gun and silently examines it. Javi plans to find out just how smart Morales is.
