Holly drove to where Aileen sat, seeing the tears on her face. "I'm so sorry. I never should have dragged your parents into this."

"It's fine. They died fighting. Just like I always knew they would." Aileen sniffled. Mater then said "so, Miss Disaster Jr... I know it's not the right time or nothin' but uh... what did you wanna tell us about."

"I'm glad y'asked, Tormentor." Aileen said as she turned on her screen. She showed footage of Emilia in the therapy room with Mater. "As it turns out, Emilia Zundapp was given special access into the facility the day she exposed herself." Aileen explained. Finn said "that's impossible. How?"

"I don't know. Maybe she just hacked the system. Maybe there was an inside man. I don't know."

"We have to find out then." Dodge said. "We don't even know where they're keeping her."

The group sat in silence on the craft, as Lightning said "where are you taking us, Aileen?"

"I'm taking everyone else to Tijuana. Except you, McQueen."

"Me? Why not?"

"You have an appointment in Tokyo. My contact is willing to offer you some help."

"But why are the rest of us going to Tijuana?" Holly asked, before Aileen said "a friend of mine has information on the Sterben Hub kept there. It may have the method to fixing you, Mater."

"Dad gum." Mater said in awe. Holly then thought for a moment, saying "Tijuana is within driving distance of Radiator Springs, isn't it?"

"Aye. After you fix Mater, you can pass by the border to get there." Aileen sighed. Holly sighed loudly, as Mater said "what's wrong?"

"Mater, I don't think I could ever show my face in that town again. I know for certain that I can never look Sally in the eyes again." Holly said regretfully. Dodge then sighed, saying "you can't change the past. But you can always make the future better."

"That's all we can do." Finn said. Holly then looked out the window, saying "I'm just not looking forward to it."

The plane landed at the large building. Mia and Tia wore small scarves to cover their faces from the sand, as a figure stepped out.

"Hello, my friends." the golden car said as he drove out. Aileen said "these are the lads you wanted?"

"Yes. We have much to talk about." the car said. Holly looked at the haphazardly built shack, saying "this doesn't look like a professional lab. Who are you?"

"Alonzo Ramirez. My cousin basically begged me to help you guys out when she heard." Alonzo answered. Lightning's eyes widened, as he said "wait, so your cousin is Cr..."

"McQueen! Let's go!" Aileen shouted. McQueen shook his head, saying "never mind. I gotta go sort this stuff out. I'll see you guys later."

"Be careful, Lightning." Holly said as McQueen took off in the jet with Aileen, flying out of sight.
