Cutty pays the bill for every bad choice he's made on the road to Palenque. As the last of the speed burns out of his system, Randy's grudge and Hernandez's talk of pilgrimage start to sink in—and Paula quietly decides how close she's willing to ride beside him. A thin wall, two separate motel rooms, and one simple question ("Promise me you're not going to kill us chasing your sister") push their fragile partnership to the edge. By morning, an empty bed convinces Cutty he's been left behind, and he kicks the BMW toward Tikal in a panic, chasing a jeep that may not even have Paula in it.
