Be honest with me...
This piece of shit gonna stay in the air?
...Not trying to die over this.
Come on, man. Thing's a fucking stallion.
...Know where we're going?
Juarez for sure...
Mazatlan too.
Who the fuck knows...
The kid, he'll tell you. It's his thing.
What's he like?
Skinny?
Takes shit too seriously.
He's got ideas.
Like what...
Organizing the plazas...
to sell their weed together.
Don't bring it up. Once he gets started on it, he won't stop...
One big organization...
Smart. Who knows?
Two of you. With the big ideas.
What? We can grow, get bigger...
Bigger' gets you locked up.
Bigger' gets you killed.
Only way the world knows you were here -
Who gives a fuck you were 'here' or not? Don't be an asshole.
Hey, this supposed to wobble?
Don't break my shit, man. Still making payments on it.
Heads up, here he comes...
Don't embarrass me, ok?
What'd you say his name was?
Miguel Angel Félix Gallardo...
Her drum brake linings still good?
I'll tighten 'em up, sir.
Maybe some new paint too.
Will do boss.
What began as a dream full of hope
ended in an awakening to the abrupt reality of problems.
A sudden devaluation of the peso
that we had not known since 1987 presents us a new reality.
RESPECT WORKERS' RIGHTS
This shit's terrible...
It is?
Our business is all American dollars...
Our value just doubled, Manny.
This makes us bigger.
You knew this was coming?
We knew it was bad. Not like this.
The President let his friends down...
It won't go unaddressed.
Good time to be in a cash business.
Americans always need drugs.
With all this turbulence -
important those dollars keep flowing.
I know changes are coming in Colombia -
You're ready for them?
You asking about my side of the business?
Thought I didn't have one.
I'm making sure there won't be any supply issues for our business.
I'll talk to Henao. Make sure it's all solid...
Get back to me with what he says.
I want assurances, yeah?
All the dollars you're holding...
You're the richest trafficker in the history of Mexico.
Maybe the world.
Just hope it lasts. Right?
I'll be in touch.
Thanks for meeting me...
How're you doing, Karen?
I'm meeting people in bathrooms.
Said you had something...
...Last February, the President held a private dinner
for 30 of the richest men in Mexico...
Told them they were gonna fund the PRI's expenses.
He wasn't asking.
I heard about this...
That was the problem. It got out.
So he backpedaled...
But then we started hearing rumors.
The party had a new cash supply...
An "unofficial" one.
Like a slush fund?
With over 700 million dollars in it.
Money's for campaigns, bribes, investments...
buying power.
Where'd the cash come from?
From anyone who wanted access.
Businessmen, of course.
But also traffickers.
Mexican cartels, Colombians too. Supposedly.
This slush fund. Who controlled it?
Luis Colosio was my friend.
What's this for you?
Why do you want Hank so badly?
He's corrupt.
So are a lot of men...
Hank represents the system.
Nothing touches them.
The truth never sticks, so nothing changes.
I don't know...
At some point the bad guys have to lose, right?
So, this slush fund...
Think you could find proof it exists?
A friend in party finances gave me these...
There's others who want things to change.
I don't know what's in them.
But if anything can tie Hank to dirty money - it starts here.
I went to law school...
So did I...
Didn't finish.
And look at us now...
Don't talk about this with anyone...
especially not on the phone...
I don't talk to anyone anymore.
He wasn't there.
We need another address...
Told you all I know...
Please...
Thanks for coming to see me...
Lord of the Skies' wants to talk...
Where else would I be?
Big things ahead...
Cali's going away soon.
You have big shoes to fill.
Nothing the Rodriguez provided...
that my partners in the North Valley can't match...
Look, I need to know my coke keeps coming. On schedule.
No bullshit.
No complications.
Your operation won't miss a beat.
But there is one thing to discuss...
Some of my friends in Colombia
aren't comfortable with Cali cutting a deal with the government.
Pacho's not testifying.
Just gonna do a little time, retire...
And what happens if he decides... he doesn't like prison?
Misses one of his boyfriends?
Wants out early...
Fuck that.
Pacho'll be in Mexico soon...
on business.
That's when it'll be handled.
Letting you know out of respect.
I know the two of you...
...have a relationship.
Yeah. We do.
Our business has rules...
Talking to the government?
Walking out on partners? Not now, not ever.
We're in this for life.
Truth is, Pacho's made enemies over the years.
Want to avoid any "complications" with your supply?
Best to let this one go.
Our thing in Tijuana's starting to make money, bro...
Shit's working?
Shit's booming, man!
Guys are changing sides...
Fuck, couple independents even started paying us a tax.
Mayo was right...
How'd you get the guys to flip?
Just took some convincing, you know...
I'm telling you, Mayo's got product -
He's offering better returns...
And when Benjamin finds out?
Sends Ramon over here to 'visit'... what then?
Get the fuck outta here!
Sorry...
It's a risk, man...
What great opportunity isn't?
Yeah -
I don't think so...
Think the dudes just started to get it...
Joining us - it makes sense...
I don't want any problems...
Tell Mayo he has a deal.
What about my thing with the peppers?
How'd that go...
Forgot to tell you, bro! It's a monster.
Coke inside jalapeño cans?
You're a fucking genius.
Customs don't know what hit 'em...
I got more ideas like that.
You're an artist, bro.
Hey Arturo...
What about Güero?
Heard anything?
Heard he's hiding in the mountains...
Look at that...
Had upper management in you the whole time.
Beltran says I'm an artist.
I'm cutting Güero in on this. Soon as he's back...
Right thing to do.
Soon as he's back...
Check out these tough guys...
Catch them kissing in the bathroom yet?
I don't use that bathroom.
They took everything...
Third one this month!
There are no bodies...
We weren't robbed...
Our guys gave it up.
Motherfuckers.
I'm gonna kill all you fuckers -
That thing you asked about...
I've got an address.
All right.
Babe -
I got the food.
You scared me, man.
Where are we putting the wire transfers?
Domestic or international?
Both?
Fuck, I don't know...
Domestic there - international... somewhere else...
Let me see it.
Another Citibank transaction...
These too...
Could help. All this Citibank stuff...
How...
That thing with the President's brother -
in Geneva...
Yeah - the bank accounts...
They found millions Citibank was keeping secret.
There was an investigation -
Think there's court filings?
It's possible.
Some of those accounts are public record.
Might give us a way to track these transactions...
Hello -
Yeah -
Yes.
I understand... Ok. I'll head over.
Okay.
Fuck...
Make you turn in the badge?
CIUDAD JUAREZ POLICE
Fuck that -
Paid for this shit myself.
What'd the Captain tell you?
Budget cuts. The economy -
I don't know.
Motherfuckers...
CIUDAD JUAREZ COMMAND CENTER STATE POLICE
Heard they laid off half the force.
How'd you keep your spot?
Gotta play the game, bro.
I paged you last night.
Fell asleep early.
Really?
Cause you look like shit...
Listen...
These guys we're dealing with now...
Don't want 'em wondering if you're solid...
Fuck am I gonna tell my wife, man?
Vicente's got this place off the highway.
Needs someone to work security...
He ever find the snitch?
Must've...
Shit's quiet.
This place off the highway...
What is it?
Like a club...
How are you?
Hey, man. What the fuck you doing home?
Getting old... Didn't you hear?
Got a package ready for you. One of the last...
Yeah. Sending a couple of birds your way.
Clockwork, every time.
Lord of the skies.
We had a good thing, man.
You getting sentimental?
I'm retiring, not dying.
Gonna live forever, man.
Doesn't matter though, there's a new king now...
Mexicans used to be a joke.
Runners moving our stuff into the States.
You changed all that, man.
We fucking work for you now...
Helped that you had my back.
You were different than the others.
And you were right... Shit changes.
Doesn't have to.
You sure you want this?
Cutting a deal with the government?
I don't know...
Maybe there's another way -
I pull out now, it fucks up Gilberto's move.
I owe these guys.
And maybe he's right...
Either get out early, or you get out too late.
What's up, man? Everything cool?
Yeah, it's cool. You know what's best.
See you soon. Coming to Mexico on business...
Last dance.
Right. See you soon...
So long, brother.
How's it going in there?
Not sure it's going anywhere. Yet.
Thought you quit.
Just got off the phone with another advertiser -
The business is going under.
Fourth account we lost this week.
Hey, no one said changing the world'd be easy.
To be honest...
I'm not sure we're making any difference at all.
Hope we are...
Or what're we doing here?
Keeping the lights on.
Putting out a paper,
even when the world tells us it doesn't matter.
That's the job.
I'll let you get back to it.
Let's go, move in!
Check the bedrooms!
Bedroom's clear!
Nothing in here -
Check this out -
Fucker had it coming...
Go ahead.
Hold up, man. Turn around.
Break's over - get back inside!
What's up, man?
Keeping these girls in line?
Yes sir.
Good.
Hey man...
Kill that motherfucker.
Fuck him up!
Son of a bitch.
How was work?
What happened to your hands?
It's nothing...
You know...
You got home late...
It's work, right?
Inés, from down the street...
she got a job.
Said she'd talk to her boss...
I was thinking I could -
No, Tenci.
No.
-Maybe just till you find a steady job - - I said no, goddamnit!
I don't provide now? Is that it?
I don't take care of you anymore?
What do you need?
-What's going on, Victor? -With what?
Look at you...
I'm the man of the house.
Right?
Or has that changed, too?
Fuck...
Fuck, Tenci...
This shit keeps up, we're done -
Mayo's been playing us - for years.
So send a message!
Anyone doing business in Tijuana.
They need to know who this family is, what we can do...
Use Ramon.
How the fuck did this happen, Enedina?
It doesn't matter.
Ramon will make clear - deserting us isn't an option.
Mayo's doing this to us from inside...
He's in Tijuana.
So find him -
fucking kill him!
We will.
But keeping our men loyal,
ensuring others pay the tax...
Benjamin, it's dependent on you.
I'll be fine. I'm safe here...
You need to keep moving!
You've been in that house too long.
We've got people in custody.
There's been leaks.
It's complicated. You know that.
The doctors are using a new treatment for her tumors.
They say it'll be a few weeks before we know anything.
We can't risk it.
There are other doctors...
If something happened to you...
we wouldn't survive it.
I'll talk with Ruth.
Hey...
Some place we can talk?
Want you to start setting money aside - every week.
In this account.
How much?
What's the most you can pull without Hank noticing?
Maybe ten million?
Make it fifteen. A week.
Start now.
This tied to the thing with the Sinaloans - in Tijuana?
Mayo called.
Want a thousand kilos on top of what they got last time -
Hey, don't worry about that shit.
Just handle this money. Keep it quiet.
You sure about this?
What the fuck's going on?
I'm sure. Just do it.
The tank full?
Want to take her up?
Yeah. Going to Sinaloa.
The fuck...
I think we might have something...
What'd you get?
One of the Citibank accounts...
lists multiple transfers from a bank in Texas -
It's in a strip mall outside El Paso.
Wouldn't even notice it.
But this shitty little bank...
it's moving hundreds of millions of dollars on a regular basis.
That close to the border?
It's a drug bank.
Juarez cartel.
That's where it gets interesting -
This same bank in El Paso is making regular transfer -
$200,000 - on the first Monday of every month
to a bank account right here...
in Tijuana.
Every month?
It's some kind of payoff.
Whoever's getting that money could tie Hank to the Juarez cartel.
What's this bank's address?
On top.
Come on, motherfucker...
Motherfucker.
Got you, motherfucker...
Fuck... Fuck.
Fuck.
Motherfucker!
Fuck.
What is all this?
These papers. I don't understand...
The deed, it's for a place in Chile.
On the coast, with a view of the mountains.
It's for you. No matter what you decide.
Amado. What are you talking about?
I want you to come with me.
For a long time I was good with it... Waiting for the end to catch up.
I want something different now.
With you.
Escobar, Félix, the Cali guys... All thought they had more time.
They were wrong.
If I'm careful, do it right...
I can start over.
I'm getting out.
You want that, to start over?
Yes...
I do.
