Original subtitles

Look, people don't react the same way

when a family member is killed.

A weak person gets on his knees, humiliates himself,

adapts to whatever it takes to avoid suffering.

But a strong person doesn't do that.

A strong person transforms his pain.

He is only relieved

when the other person suffers like he did.

You were in charge of my brother's security.

Until I find out who did this to me,

only you are responsible.

And you'll understand my pain.

Who killed my brother?

-I don't know, sir. -Was it Ávila?

No.

No, Ávila was with me all the time, just doing his job, sir.

You will find the killer?

Yes, of course. I will find him.

Make sure it's before the meeting.

The Apostles can't know about this.

Yes, sir. Don't worry about it.

Do you trust Ávila?

I trust no one, sir.

You're a weak man.

Take care of this.

Don Ávila.

We need to talk.

THE EMBALMED WOLF IS SLEEPING

You knew.

What did I know?

You knew the guy I had killed was Cardozo's brother.

I sure did.

If you want my help, which you clearly need,

you'd better talk now!

Cardozo's brother was his right hand,

so he was their treasurer.

Something was fishy so I went to check it out,

and I found a scared guy,

getting life insurance, photocopying some very important documents.

Names, bank accounts,

the place where The Apostles are meeting.

He was taking all that to his attorney when suddenly...

-He was eliminated. -He was going to betray his own brother?

Instinct of survival.

I bet Cardozo's talking with The Apostles.

There was something weird about his face, and his facial expression

was of fear.

What? You actually saw him? When?

When I phoned you. I was with him.

-And I should trust you? -I never asked you to trust me,

just to behave to find what we're looking for.

Ávila.

-Cardozo doubts you. -He mistrusts me because of you!

I said doubt, not mistrust!

Just act like a slave like me and stop being so arrogant!

We need to find that briefcase.

Sir!

You said you had a problem?

Here's the problem.

Someone was supposed to come over to pick it up

to carry out the job.

But nobody came.

It's armored.

It can't be opened without a key or the combination.

If a client killed someone for this, they'll be back sooner or later.

The problem is I don't know who it is.

All dons are required to register their hit jobs.

Are you sure that's all Alvarado said?

-He said not to ask any questions. -Any suspects?

No.

What I do suspect is that the client that ordered the job

also killed my cousin.

So if anybody shows up with a wad of bills

looking for this briefcase,

all they'll get is a bullet to the head.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Want to talk about it?

About this couple I mean.

He woke up and found her dead.

-How did she die? -Heart attack.

Were they married?

-For 35 years. -Why did he kill himself?

Losing the person you shared 35 years with

isn't enough for you?

Being married 35 years

is a reason to kill somebody, not killing myself.

Ever been in love?

I'm alive, aren't I?

-You're not alone. -Let's not talk about that.

Fine, if you don't want to talk about her,

we can talk about something else.

Let's talk about Molina.

-Let's not talk about that. -Okay.

By the way, where's the hearse? I didn't see it when I got here.

I took it to the shop.

It's making a weird sound like...

Which can be so irritating.

Right.

-Your Frappuccino, Leandro. -With your left hand, please. Thanks.

Whole milk, whipped cream and chocolate chips.

Thanks.

What's up, bitch?

You can't be here, idiot.

You can't be here.

My restraining order was approved.

Remember what the judge said?

Your obsession blurred your good judgment.

-That doesn't make you innocent. -Or guilty.

Stay away from Sánchez.

Stay away from Sánchez, idiot.

-I will not. -You know you have nothing.

I have more on him than I did on you,

and between you and me,

he isn't as good as you at hiding.

I TOOK YOUR CAR LOOK FOR ME - MACA

"Look for me."

Hi, Rosita.

So pretty as usual.

Hi, and you're a sweet talker as usual.

So, when can I take you out to dinner?

I can't. I'm still married.

What a dirty mind you've got. I just want to buy you dinner.

By the way, your cousin is waiting for you.

-My cousin? -That's what he said.

My cousin?

What the hell?

-Iván! -Detective Sánchez. Good morning.

Good morning.

Do you really think anyone believes we're cousins?

Brothers would be a greater stretch of the imagination, don't you think?

-You can't be here. -Don't worry.

I'm here today as any other citizen.

In need of justice.

How can I help you?

The funeral home's hearse was stolen.

Here's the person's detailed description.

Plus an identikit I took the liberty of drawing.

-Photographic memory? -More or less.

When you arrest her,

I won't be filing any charges.

I just need my car back and the lady's address.

Her address? What for?

Don't worry. Not for what you're thinking.

You dog.

You dog!

Not for that either.

See you later.

How is don Ávila doing?

-How's everything here? -Just fine.

Thanks to you.

I don't do the hit jobs.

But you're his right-hand.

Only until don Alcázar finds a more experienced person.

I think he already has.

-We need to talk, don't we? -Do we?

I'm right in front of you. We can talk if you want.

I have nothing to say to you.

Come here.

Any problems?

No. Everything's okay.

Everything's okay?

Yes. Everything's okay, Daniel.

Is Iván coming through the door?

I'd hate this to be the last time I'm looking at you

and get shot at the back of the neck.

Why are you here?

Is everything okay?

Yes. Everything's just fine.

I have work to do.

We need to talk.

About what?

-Pérsico. -We don't know what he knows.

That's just it.

Let me see what he knows and if it's nothing,

we let him spend his entire life investigating.

But if what he knows can hurt me or you or Ávila,

we need to tell Ávila and do something.

-We're not killing anybody. -Let me work on it.

-Oliverio! -Yes, sir?

It's our lunch break. Watch the store.

Yes, sir.

-Don Díaz. -Don Ávila.

-Don Polonio. -Don Ávila.

We have a problem.

What kind of problem?

A hit jobwas carried out last night

in the parking lot of a Santa Fé office building.

A man, some 40 years old.

What's that got to do with me?

I just need to know if it was your hit job.

No, it wasn't one of mine.

So, what's the problem?

The person, the victim,

was the brother of someone who is very important to us.

-Who's that? -It doesn't matter.

-Hello! -Coming.

Is anybody here? Hello!

I need you to speak with all your hitmen

and find out who ordered the job.

I'm sure it wasn't ours.

But I can make a few calls.

Do we know anything else?

No, but this person is so close to us

we need to make sure it wasn't an inside job.

No problem. I'll find out what I can.

Hello.

-Hello. Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

-Hello. -Good afternoon.

I ran out of wood for a house I'm building.

Can I have some?

Have you called the others? Should I do it?

No, I'll call the others.

Don Ávila, do we know who replaced don Alvarado?

His cousin Guzmán.

Sir...

Should we be concerned?

If we don't identify the client that ordered the job,

the hitman or the don, we could be in a lot of trouble.

-Thanks, Iván. -Don't mention it.

What kind of wood do you need?

I'm not looking for wood. It's actually metal.

Sorry, we don't have any metals. Just wood.

I think you can help me anyway.

I'm not looking for metal sheets or anything like that.

I'm looking for a metal briefcase.

The metal briefcase you have that isn't yours, Oliverio.

Come with me.

There you are.

-Everything okay, boss? -No, everything's wrong I'm afraid.

First they kick us out of the parking lot murders,

made it a federal case or something.

-One case less, right? -Then the Erika issue.

What about Erika?

What about Erika you ask? Didn't you check the evidence?

-What evidence? -What do you mean what evidence?

That lady.

The one they killed near the restaurant.

That...

belonged to her grandma.

What's the matter, Sánchez? You're slow today or what?

-Yes? -Sir, you need to hear this.

A woman was killed recently near a restaurant.

She was an elderly lady.

-And? -We thought a robber did it.

But now I'm not so sure.

Where's this going, Sánchez?

The lady was Erika Duarte's grandmother.

-What? -It can't be a random thing.

It's like a line of dominoes.

You need the last one to fall. But the first is the most important.

It can't be a random thing.

Sánchez, if Erika Duarte's mom contacts you,

it's important to tell her

not to come back to Mexico for any reason, okay?

Yes, but I don't get it.

Laura Duarte can't come back to Mexico.

If Laura Duarte comes back to Mexico...

...I'll get rid of her myself, okay?

Fine.

We'd expect no less.

Now I get it.

Not now.

You thought you were in control?

-No! Please! -Breathe. Breathe!

Is it Oliverio or Oliveiro?

-Oliverio or Oliveiro? -Olivero.

Oliverio, where's the briefcase?

The briefcase was here.

But Mr. Guzmán took it, I swear.

-Don't you lie to me. -I swear.

We said no lying.

It's in the office.

In the office. In the office.

Where?

The green cabinet.

Take note, Roberto.

Flight 237

from Madrid to Mexico City with a stopover in Houston

arrives at 7:35 a.m. tomorrow.

Laura Duarte's on that flight.

You have 48 hours after she gets here

to eliminate her. That's not a problem, is it?

No, sir.

It's so good to know that because any kind of delay

might be considered as an act of defiance.

Have a great afternoon, Roberto.

Are you killing her?

Answer me. Are you killing her?

I don't want to.

You don't?

You don't want to disobey the boss, is that it?

I'd lose his trust.

What would you lose if you kill her?

Why don't you go away?

A passport. $10,000.

A fresh start.

-I can't. -It's not that easy, is it?

Because there's no fresh start for you until you do what you need to do.

Just remember.

When you get your revenge you'll have to live with it.

I swear.

I swear!

I swear I won't talk!

I swear I won't talk. Please!

Hello.

The car you stole belongs to a friend of mine.

I'm taking you home.

And you'll apologize to the cop you punched, okay?

Go to hell.

-Sorry. -Damn you, bitch.

Take the hearse to the address in the report.

Liberio, I know what we can do. Maybe we should...

Idiot! Idiot!

Paquito.

What do you want?

Is that the way to welcome a relative?

Tell Tone I'm here.

-Tone isn't seeing anybody. -Then tell my uncle I'm here.

He's not here.

-You had a bad day or what? -Tone said not to let anyone in.

I need to deliver this to Tone. It's up to you if I leave or...

Okay. I'll take the briefcase.

-Okay, drop it. -Can I come in or what?

Yes or no?

Okay.

Okay, sir.

You can come in.

Take it easy. Thanks.

Nice move, Paquito.

Tone!

Cousin! No way!

My dear Tome!

My dear cousin!

You're looking great for a corpse!

Have a seat. It's so good to see you, cousin.

-Same here, Tome. -What do you think?

-Very nice. Very nice. -Nice change, right?

Take a card, cousin.

Any card. Let me see. That's it.

What did you think?

Well done, Tome, buddy. Well done, business is thriving.

-Baruj ashem. -Baruj ashem my ass.

We're doing well because I run the place.

After what happened to Dad, who else could take over?

I run the business and we're doing great.

-What happened to my uncle? -He's in prison.

-Cavernas, pour us two drinks. -Who locked him up?

How would I know? The bastard has so many enemies, who knows?

-But it's okay. -I'm so sorry, Tome. I had no idea.

Don't be sorry, cousin. Everything's fine.

Dad needed a rest, he's old, worked his butt off.

It was time for me to take over and improve things.

How much time?

-I think 37 years. -What?

But he'll do 30 if he behaves.

Let's see if he behaves or if he goes wild in there.

Who cares anyway? So, why are you here?

-Where's the briefcase? -I've got it.

I had to kill Guzman's PA in case you hear anything.

I'll take it.

Tomorrow, I gave it to someone to open it.

Still cracking safes?

-What? -Do we still crack safes?

Do you still jerk off?

Give me a break! I did that when I was 19.

Now I own all of this. Everything you see here.

You were good at it.

I was the best. I could crack anything open.

Show me how good you are. Open this.

How about you going back and taking it from him?

We'll open it here.

It's an armored briefcase with a combination and a key.

I'm having an expert open it.

This technology didn't exist when I was a kid.

He's turning it over to Cardozo as we speak.

He's family and he knows nothing about Cardozo or The Apostles.

Okay, I'll open it for you.

But...

I want half of whatever's inside.

Your family?

-It's just papers, Tone. -Really?

-Yes. -No problem.

I want 50% of what the papers are worth.

No drugs, no guns, no cash.

-They only interest me and my boss. -You take me for a fool?

Your boss wants it because it has something valuable.

-I didn't say so, calm down. -$50,000.

-Deal? -10. You're not the only one.

I'm the only one you know. 45.

31. Final offer.

-No way. No deal. -Okay. Bye.

No, no, cousin, please!

Don't ruin the game, man! Okay, fine, 31.

-You want me to give you $31,000? -Yes.

No problem, cousin. Pick it up tomorrow.

I'll wait. Calm down.

Tomorrow afternoon.

Calm down, bitch? I am calm, damn it!

Cool it. You're drooling.

Fine, go get the money and pick it up tomorrow, okay?

I need to get back to work.

Here, take this, go enjoy yourself a little bit.

-Hello. -Hi.

Come in.

Sir.

This is the flight Laura Duarte is on.

What do you need?

Go to the airport.

And look after her while she's here.

Sure thing.

Looks good.

That's the red one.

You look nice without a tie.

I left it in the car.

You can go get it.

No.

You're here to kill me?

No.

Could you put it away while you're here?

It's not the gun I worry about but the guy holding it,

because you don't seem to be such an expert.

It's 7:35 a.m. and Laura Duarte is in Mexico.

-Yes, stirring up trouble. -At her mother's wake.

Right, and before or after that,

she'll look for and find the killer.

This whole family!

They're way too nosy.

Mrs. Duarte?

Detective Sánchez.

Sorry about your loss.

Both of them.

I investigated your mom's death.

Why are you here? What do you want?

I was also Erika's teammate.

48 hours for her to stop making trouble.

This meeting is over.

I know I might seem paranoid,

but with all that's happened

I'd rather have one of my men close to you for your safety.

-I'd rather take a cab, thanks. -Ma'am.

-I said no, thanks. -Don Ávila sent me.

So you're not a cop?

Yes, I am a police officer.

I did investigate your mom's death,

and I was Erika's teammate.

But the reason I'm here is because don Ávila sent me.

-I need to speak with him. -Sure.

Sir.

She's right here.

Laura.

-Yes? -How are you?

Why do I need protection?

I'm still not sure. Stay with Sánchez meanwhile.

-I trust him. -Can't you come over?

-I promise I will when I can. -Okay.

-Thank you. -Sure.

My car is this way.

Good morning.

Have you ever used one?

My dad used to have a revolver just like this.

That's not what I asked.

I asked if you ever used one.

Want some breakfast?

I never have breakfast.

Well I do.

-My deepest condolences, sir. -Save it. What have you got?

Ávila wasn't involved.

How long do you need to kill him and replace him?

Don Ávila is very weak.

I don't see why you'd want to replace him.

Because I can see the difference between an embalmed wolf

and a sleeping wolf.

-What do you mean? -Laura Duarte is in Mexico.

I ordered him to get rid of her to end the nightmare her family is.

But Ávila's resisting.

If he won't get rid of her, then you can.

After I do, what if he shows up? Do I eliminate him?

Ávila will be ditched, but not now.

I need to meet with the other Apostles.

Be prepared just in case.

May I ask when you're meeting them?

None of your business. Go.

Ávila.

You went to my brother's burial. Nice gesture.

Why are you following me? What for?

What do you want to know?

-I need to know who I work for. -For me.

That's all you need to know.

Who are you guys?

There you go. Who are we?

Worry about who you are.

You're nothing but a dog.

And dogs don't need to know their masters' intentions.

You have a job to do.

Laura Duarte. You have 40 hours to kill her.

If you don't do it, you'll really have to worry about who we are.

Now go, I have a meeting.

40 hours.

-I just met with Cardozo. -Me too.

Yes? What did he tell you?

He said you're my next hit job.

I bought some time, don Ávila.

Looks like The Apostles are meeting sometime soon.

-When? -I don't know exactly.

Cardozo mentioned a Laura Duarte.

-What about her? -He says she's your hit job.

-I won't kill her. -But you have to.

-Because Cardozo says so? -If you don't I'll have to.

We almost have the bastards and we won't because of her?

Forget her and get the briefcase you promised to open.

-It's open and I'm getting it. -I'm coming with you.

-My cousin won't let you in. -Screw your cousin.

Let's go.

Is don Alcázar in?

Sorry, Mrs. Martínez. Don Alcázar stepped out for a moment.

And I don't know when he'll be back.

I assure you that anything you discussed with him

may be discussed with me too.

I am don Alcázar's right hand.

And I'm aware of all the jobs we've been hired for.

Are you pleased with our service?

Thank you very much.

No. Thank you, Mrs. Martínez.

Thinking a Don of Donsis a puppet only produces another dead fool.
