I understand enough French and Latin (and have watched The Pirates of the Caribbean) to know that the word for "die" in Spanish will sound something like "mourir", but with a different ending.
Google Translate says "morirás". Can a "tú" be added for emphasis? (That's how pronouns work in Latin.) The girl was very anxious.
She was also holding a squashed plastic bottle, and making slashing motions across her throat. One of the other girls was doing the same to her leg.
The most recent review on TripAdvisor [1] says "My travel buddy and I got mugged by 3 street hoods with a knife on the steps going back down into Quito".
The British government [2] says, of Ecuador, "Muggings and pick pocketing are very common ... avoid travelling to ‘El Panecillo’ hill on your own or by foot"

Can you think of an alternative explanation?
