They are being tracked down by two agents by the name of Jones and Vorhees. So to try and flee from the country, Allie chooses to make use of a Coyote Group. They are typically hostile men, but Allie makes use of his smooth-talking skills to convince the two of them to help them out.

Chuy, who just lost his friend Juan, is starting to hate Allie by the minute as his reckless plans have only made situations worse. Here they have a dispute which sees Allie on the ground saying that everything will be alright. The thing is, Chuy has some trouble in Mexico therefore, he cannot go back there. But due to the persuasion by Allie, and the lack of options he has, Chuy reluctantly agrees to be their guide. But the truth is that the distance they need to cover is way more than one would imagine. So, Allie finds a shortcut that goes through a bombing range. This plan makes Dina anxious, which is soon shot down by Allie, who convinces everyone that only about 6% of the bombing range is used by the US military. As they head forward on their journey, they reached a mysterious place filled with bombarded buildings. This could have been a place for the military to practice their bombing for actual missions. This can be indicated by the fake building that seems to have no doors. Just then, a whirring sound approaches them, which happens to be a helicopter. The group runs off to hide in the buildings as the helicopter passes above them. Allie, who spots a corpse in the room, decides to salvage it for supplies, so he asks Chuyto to take the kids outside while he retrieves water from the corpse’s water bottle.
Growing Concerns
Chuy decides to upfront with the children to ask them regarding Allie’s past. He asks Dina in Spanish as to why the family was on the run. And what did Allie do that the US Government is after him? The truth is that even Dina doesn’t know as she can only make assumptions. While we have found out that Allie and Margot have been on the run from the Government for nine years, the reason still hasn’t been revealed. Margot says that Allie didn’t harm anyone, but the question further rises to what he did. While Dina kept questioning this, Charlie was blindly following his dad. Chuy decides to open up with a concerned Margot. He reveals to him how he has a nine-year-old daughter named Ariella back in Mexico. But due to the money he owes to some dangerous people, he was not able to go back. Now that he was reluctantly heading there, he was planning to make things right and stay with his daughter. Chuy, who himself feared the safety of his daughter, tries to connect with Margot showing concern for her children. He expresses how Alli was going crazy, and his actions might just hurt her children. So Chuy suggests to Margot that she leave him and head back home with Charlie and Dina.

The Coyotes
Even though the family had been traveling for two days, they still had to cover some distance. Allie had come up with the idea that they make use of an emergency beacon set at some distance. The plan was to contact one of Chuy’s associates to help them off to Mexico. For this, Allie was even ready to pay huge amounts of money. Persuaded by this, they plan to head there. Due to the shortage of water, they must take a shortcut through the hill range. Chuy refuses to do this out of some innate fear. But Allie is again able to persuade him out of fear of water shortage. They take the route during which they reach a very mysterious place. The place was filled with rotten corpses who had died due to some unrevealed reason. Chuy suggests that no one should disturb their bodies, but Allie decides to salvage them for resources. While Chuy lights a candle with respect to the dead, Charlie finds a gun. But rather than informing his dad, he chooses to hide it in his bag. Just then, a large group of Coyotes heads towards them, so the group is forced to hide. But one of them spots the lit candle, therefore, he searches the area for anyone who had been hiding there. The situation only became worse when a snake approached Charlie from behind.
