Legal... or illegal counsel?

Legal. [electronic noise]

Illegal would be expediting paperwork or records,

PLEASE KEEP ORDER

[precinct chatter]

- [Gutiérrez] Soledad? - Uh... Yes.

I need a search warrant.

Those documents aren't issued here.

What do you mean? I always ask you.

♪ tense music continues ♪

Well, I've never needed one before.

Tell me how to do it by the book, come on.

You have to write a report requesting the warrant,

stating the grounds for the search, and providing details

like the address of the premises to be searched,

and the reason for the procedure.

[muffled] From there, it goes to the prosecutor's office,

which issues the warrant, which then goes to the judge, who signs it.

What? How long does that take? Two or three hours?

Fifteen to thirty business days.

Depending on the case.

[phones ringing]

- What now? - I need a search warrant.

- What for? - To get into the Russian's apartment.

Lewandowski doesn't want us there. He's clearly hiding something.

No, that process takes time.

Yes, I know. And I'm not waiting two weeks for some bullshit signature.

Look, the only way to go in without a warrant,

according to Article 227, is in the event of a fire, an explosion,

a call for help, or a victim deprived of freedom.

None of which is happening in this case.

What do you expect to find in there?

What we're looking for, the motive for the crime.

We have to get in there before the others.

That'll be difficult, both the prosecutor and the CIA have already asked for access.

What? Listen to me.

If those bastards take the evidence, we're screwed, okay?

We don't know if there's any evidence.

Besides, it's their job. You know? There's nothing we can do.

Wouldn’t you like to shut the Minister of Security up?

[Gutiérrez] Huh? You know full well we're on the right track.

Let's not let them get ahead of us, Capote.

- That son of a bitch threatened us. - [Gutiérrez] Mm-hmm.

Here's what I'm going to do. I'll try to speak directly with the judge.

We'll see what favors they'll ask of us.

Nothing is free in this country.

Now,

if you don't find anything in there,

we back off and let the Americans take care of it.

- Is that clear? - Don't worry.

Affirmative.

[Torcoletti, in English] Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

- Torco, where's Ventura? - On patrol.

- She sure loves it, huh? - Yes, she's restless.

Listen, tell her to send the boys to watch the Russian's apartment

until we have the search warrant.

And make it crystal clear to those two that no one is allowed in until we arrive.

- Got it? - And what do we do in the meantime?

We'll have to wait.
