A Mexican journalist, Chucho Flores, who is also covering the fight, tells him about the murders. He asks his newspaper if he can write an article about the murders but his proposal is rejected. He meets up with a female journalist, Guadalupe, who is covering the murders and who promises to get him an interview with one of the main suspects, Klaus Haas, a German who had become a citizen of the United States before moving to Santa Teresa. The day of the fight Chucho presents Oscar to Rosa Amalfitano. After a violent incident they end up at Ćscar Amalfitano's house where the father pays Fate to take Rosa with him back to the United States by car, before putting her on a plane to Barcelona. Before leaving, however, Rosa and Fate go to the prison with Guadalupe to interview the infamously-tall femicide suspect, Klaus Haas.

Given this as a backdrop, the late BolaƱo paints a mural of a poverty-stricken society that appears to be eating itself alive. And who cares? Nobody, it seems."
