Adam tries to escape the farm but trips silent alarms so he's easy to track and find. He's brought back to the camp and is made an example out of by receiving a gunshot to the leg and everyone loses their pay for the week. The lady that runs the farm nurses Adam back to health. She gives him a bowl of medicine that's made from marijuana. She warns him not to say anything, but why anyone who works at a meth lab would care about pot is beyond me. And what is pot going to do to help a gunshot wound? Is it supposed to make you so mellow that you don't go into shock?

The next day Peter comes to pick up the work crew and he wonders where Juan is. He finds him lying down due to the shooting and pokes his wound with a stick just to remind us how bad he is. Adam gets up and goes to the lab. Once it has been announced that Adam is proficient in the making of meth, Jose begins to spit up blood and he quickly dies. They bury him in the field and place his breathing mask next to his grave, which he didn't use much, hence his bleeding lungs. They should have placed the picture of his son there but that was left behind in the lab.

About five days have gone by and Adam's fiancee is wondering where he is. She goes to the Border Patrol and they have no idea of his whereabouts. They eventually find the bodies on the farm and trace it back to the right wing leader. Somehow this leads them to the same place in Tijuana where Adam found passage. Some Mexican police leave a picture of Adam and it gets faxed to Vance's farm. Eva gets the fax and confronts Adam. For some odd reason Adam continues to talk with an accent after his cover is blown. I'm sure they couldn't afford subtitles and wanted to convey that they were speaking Spanish since Eva didn't know English, but it was still odd that nothing changed in his voice.

Vance discovers the truth about Adam when the people from Tijuana call to see if their fax went through. They beat the crap out of Eva and dump her in the meth lab. Adam finds her but before they can leave, he sees the bad guys pull up. He quickly disconnects the wires just as the bad guys try and detonate the building. Adam sets a pot of drugs boiling, and then sneaks into the secret room with Eva as the bad guys walk in and they get blown up.
