Border Patrol is a 2001 Australian-American supernatural action-thriller film[1][2][3] directed by Mark Haber and starring Michael DeLorenzo, Clayton Rohner, Lewis Fitz-Gerald, and Mary Elkins.
The pair have a critically limited time to work within, as Helms has discovered the means to move his body between earth and the afterworld, and if they don't permanently end his existence in less than 24 hours, he will remain forever in an unassailable state.
As it doesn't matter how many times Helms is killed in a normal mortal way and he can cross the border between worlds at will to commit his crimes, an otherworldly solution is needed.
As Chavez is mortal but has the perception of beings from the afterworld, his cellular makeup is such that if Helms can kill him and usurp his energy, that will give him the power he needs to remain forever invincible.
