Let's go.

Mom!

Hurry up!

Wait for me!

Shh!

Fire!

There.

Hmm?

All right.

Yep.

Hey.

Son of a bitch!

No!

It's horrific.

When will you take us to the village?

Unfortunately not.

We need to go to the site of the massacre,

see it in person.

What's going on here, Aurelio?

I thought we had everything worked out ahead of time.

Well, our deal was to provide you with undisputable proof

that the massacre occurred,

and I think the photos do that.

I can't take this to my editor and say that my contacts

wouldn't take us to the site of the massacre,

just showed us a few photographs, told us a story.

Doesn't work that way.

Have we ever lied to you

or given you bullshit stories?

It has nothing to do with that, Aurelio.

This is basic journalism.

How would you like it, for example,

if Montenegro came to us,

showed us a photograph and said

that you killed everyone in the village

and then we release that story without double-checking?

How'd that make you feel?

I'm not sure you understand how big this story is,

Aurelio, because it's huge.

So I need complete access to all information,

that's including testimonies from all the witnesses,

-and all survivors. -There's no survivors.

The soldiers killed everybody.

We just travelled thousands of miles,

risked our lives crossing borders illegally

to get here to tell your story because we believe in it,

and we believe it's an important story to be told,

so don't you think we deserve a little more

than your mistrust and your secrecy?

Okay.

We found a survivor. He's a boy.

Well, I need to talk to him.

And take his picture.

Why?

Because if he's a survivor,

he's the story.

How old is he?

Um, we don't know. Nine, maybe ten.

Hundreds of villagers were massacred

by government troops, trained,

equipped and financed by US military aid.

If we don't expose that to the rest of the world,

then your congressmen will continue giving

millions of dollars to those butchers

and history will repeat itself. That's the story.

If you want the greatest exposure worldwide,

that boy needs to be the center of this story.

Even if we let you talk to him,

he couldn't tell you anything.

- Why? - Because he's lost his speech.

We don't even know his name.

Well, he witnessed the massacre.

In spite of all the dangers he's exposed to

here with us, the minute he leaves

our protection, he becomes a walking target.

Okay.

Here's the deal.

We're only here for a few days, and two of those days

we're gonna burn off crossing back into Honduras

and getting back into the US.

If I'm gonna tell the story, I'm gonna tell it

the only way I know, and that's my way.

So you guys figure out what you want me to do.

Okay, um...

Okay. We agree with you.

The boy can be in the report, but we have to find

a way to do it without traumatizing him again.

I know how. I take his picture.

You tell me what happened to him and I write it.

- Okay, fair enough. - What happens to the boy

when the report comes out?

We'll take you to the village today,

after our broadcast, okay?

Come.

Enough?

We have to go.

Let's go.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just processing the day.

Yeah.

Will the Times run the story?

I don't know.

I do know this is gonna unleash a shitstorm

in Congress, and it might stop the flow

of military aid to the government,

and that, in turn, might turn the tide

in favor of the rebels.

Is your position at the Times safe?

No.

I don't know that either.

I do know there's a couple of people in the State Department

trying to get me fired.

The desk is getting nervous and...

even the New York Times has to answer

to the Board of Directors and corporate-earnings,

so the truth just--

Let's go.

Chico and Luisa will take you to our people in the city.

And your safe-conduct is good

all the way to Honduras.

As soon as we get back to the US,

I'll file a report.

- Thank you. Good luck. - Thank you.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

Come!

Rafael...

Come.

Let's go, Rafael.

Okay...

Yes?

Hmm?

Move! Quickly!

Good morning.

Now.

Yes!
