Earl starts to walk away and Senor Ortega mentions they already tried to hire Valentine. Earl finally agrees to do it when Grady tells him it might be his second chance and Grady tells Senor Ortega, he is going with Earl. Earl and Grady take Earl's truck into Mexico and park at the Petromaya Field Office. They are greeted by Pedro and meet up with Senor Ortega.
