Run for the Border	comment	A character, on the run from the law, has only one chance left at evasion: get out of the city, country or other jurisdiction entirely. Their crime might be addressed as a Fugitive Arc, a Great Escape, or escaping the Day of the Jackboot. A spy's cover might have been blown. Regardless of their crime (or lack of), they've resolved to escape the jurisdiction because of the pursuit. When the law enforcement is actively looking for the characters, a Road Block is common to prevent their escape. When the law enforcement is unaware of the evasion, a Border Crossing scene may serve as climax. If the entire work is about the escape, you may see multiples of both. If all goes well for the fugitive, the story may conclude with a Tropical Epilogue. See also another method of evading the law, Diplomatic Impunity. In the case of fugitive Nazis, see Argentina Is Nazi-Land. See also Checkpoint Charlie. Has nothing to do with going to Taco Bell. As noted under the Real Life section this can be Truth in Television but it's complicated. Most industrialized nations have extradition treaties with one another stipulating that authorities will turn over fugitives if apprehended in the country the individual has fled to. Even when countries don't have treaties extradition can still happen. On the other hand it gets fuzzy with less-developed countries, countries with very different governmental and legal systems or between countries with sour relationships. So while not common it does happen. Examples

Emily (Ofglen) tried to leave Boston with her Canadian wife and son once things started getting bad, but she was stopped at the airport since she was only a Canadian citizen by marriage and the fundamentalist government no longer recognized same-sex marriage. They also realized she was a fertile woman, and weren't willing to give her up. In the second season, June flees again with Nick's help, but she's caught before getting on a plane to Canada. Emily later successfully escapes to Canada with June's baby Nichole, and reunites with her family. The trope is also inverted: Commander Waterford is lured into crossing the Canadian border unawares, where he's promptly arrested for crimes against humanity.

The Apaches flee into Mexico after attacking the cavalry supply trains, leaving the cavalry with no recourse other than burning down their empty camp, with the Apaches burning down their empty fort while they're gone, and they've been going back and forth like that for several months by the time Luke shows up. The Dalton brothers do this by accident in Tortillas For the Daltons. They're being transported to a new prison near the Mexican border, and the reinforced wagon is spotted by mexican outlaws, who assume it's carrying something valuable and steal it, taking it back across the border. However, unusual for this trope, the Mexican goverment dont want the Daltons running loose in their country, and deputizes Lucky Luke to recapture them.

Several other episodes have Hogan helping German defectors avoid the Gestapo and flee to England to help bring an end to the war. In "The Pizza Parlor" Major Bonnacelli is trying to desert and ride out the war in Switzerland. He fails and is nearly arrested for treason, but Hogan (sensing that the major will make a good spy) tricks the Germans into thinking that it was all a Batman Gambit so Bonacelli could win the trust of the prisoners and then betray their escape attempt. "The Dropouts" features a pair of German atomic scientists and their bodyguard, who are fleeing for the Swiss border to keep their research out of Hitler's hands. They stumble across Hogan, who convinces them to go to London and give their research to the Allies.

In "Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico", Monk is lured to Mexico by a corrupt doctor who wants to kill him in revenge for Monk testifying against him in an insurance fraud case. Said doctor jumped bail, fled to Mexico and changed his name, and did so by committing two bizarre murders (a wild lion attack, and then a boy who drowned in mid-air while skydiving). In "Mr. Monk's Other Brother", Monk's no-good half brother Jack escapes from prison and wants Monk to clear his name on a murder charge. Monk eventually discovers Jack, while innocent, only wants the help so he can then flee to Paraguay without fear of extradition.

Run for the Border / int_bcb32dc6	comment	The "Made it to Mexico" quality from the Shadowrun supplement "Safehouses" means your hidey-hole is in another jurisdiction, making it much harder for the heat to track you. The downside is that you have to cross the border first. In a sense, this trope is part and parcel of Shadowrunning. MegaCorp organizations in this universe have extraterritorial status; that is to say, on corporate property, they have permission to make and carry out their own laws. If a Shadowrunner is caught on corporate grounds with illicit goods or information, they're in deep shit... but if they get onto public property or, better yet, property belonging to another MegaCorp (especially whichever one hired them), the local law supersedes the corp's authority.

After "escaping" from Colditz (now a hotel, and Jeremy checked out with his credit card), they make what ends up being an economy run for the Polish border on 11.3562354 liters of fuel. James May is taken out and shot when he fails to make the border. Also spoofed at the end of the Albanian trip to find the best luxury car for "A Leading Light in the Albanian Mafia". The trio decide to stage a bank robbery for the last test and see which car makes the best getaway vehicle. The finish line is a boat out of the country and back to Spain. Jeremy and Richard successfully escape in the Mercedes and Rolls Royce while James trails behind in the "Bentley"note actually a used Yugo that Jeremy purchased after Bentley refused to lend production a car. His way is eventually blocked by the police who failed to catch Jeremy and Richard, so he runs himself off the road and over a cliff rather than be caught. After painting their cars with the most anti-Southern slurs they could think of, driving through Alabama and subsequently getting rocks thrown at them and nearly beaten, the crew made a run for the Louisiana border, which was the designated 'finish line' for the challenge. In the Patagonia Special, rumors surrounded Jeremy's Porsche with the license plate "H982 FKL", which many claimed was a jab at the Argentinean invasion of the Falklands in 1982.note Though interviews stated that it would have required a massive amount of work to intentionally acquire said license plate, let alone one on a V8 car for the challenge Come the end of the special, a mob of nationalists surround the crew's hotel and threaten violence if they do not leave. The police escort them towards Chile, where they are attacked by a mob that hurls stones at the the windows of the camera trucks and injure two cameramen. When word reaches the crew of an even larger mob at the next city, they go offroad and cross into Chile.

He's sentenced to imprisonment in juvenile hall until he's 21, but makes a break for it, and makes Kenny drive him to Mexico in his Go-Go Action Bronco, a small battery-powered car.
