Pancho frees Cisco and starts a fire as a distraction. Cisco retrieves his stolen locket, and then he and Pancho rescue the abductees, except for his sister who is not among them. Cisco gets the rest of the children into the wagon, but is stopped by Juanita and her daughter, Francesca. Pancho arrives with dead body of his sister, Yolanda, as a fiery beam falls on Juanita and Francesca. Before Cisco and Pancho can leave with the children, they are stopped by Sandridge. One of the children threatens to shoot Sandridge if he does not let Cisco take them away, so, he lets them drive off.
