 Five minutes later, Jose calls her back, and now he's running and saying the smuggler wanted to kill him, and he sounds really panicked. She's never heard him sound so scared in her life. While they're on the phone, he flags down a car and offers the driver money to take him to the official border checkpoint. There, while he's still on the phone with his sister, he runs up to U.S. Border Patrol and hands himself in, saying he needs protection.
