ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Two hours or else, well, forget about seeing your kid again.

Ten minutes before, we'll send you the location for the exchange.

This woman's name is Teresa Mendoza.

I understand he can't collect the reward,

but I can report her and we'll split it between the three of us.

Tell your clients we're agreeing to their terms, okay?

Thirty million dollars in the same place as before.

You're going to throw me the key.

Put it in the box,

and we'll let your kid go at the same time.

-Careful! -Son of a bitch!

Are you going to call your friend President Vargas

so he can release you?

Where the fuck is Teresa Mendoza?

Don't ever apologize to me, okay?

You shouldn't have to be living like this.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO

No, no, no, that doesn't make sense!

That doesn't make sense! What are you talking about?

-Shut up! Won't you shut up? -I don't understand!

Agents!

-No, no. -Let’s get down to business.

Come on, let's talk!

-No, no, no. -Shut up.

Let go! Let go of me!

Wait down there.

Hello?

Hi. I'm calling about the reward.

-And who's this? -I can't tell you.

If you don't identify yourself and tell me where you're calling from,

I'm hanging up.

Three, two, one...

Julieta Brito, from Buenos Aires.

Who am I speaking to?

Nuh-uh. I want information first.

I know where she is, Teresa Mendoza.

Anyone can say that.

But not just anyone can give you a copy of the passport she's currently using.

All right.

Then send a photo of the passport to the phone number you called,

and it will be sent to me.

That's... it?

If I'm convinced, I'll call you.

He wants me to send him a copy of the passport photo.

I don't understand fucking Epifanio Vargas.

He gave 30 million dollars

to this Argentinian fellow and he only gives us ten.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you got into this

so you could return to Mexico, not for the money.

Well, that was before, but...

Well, my expectations have improved, haven't they?

Besides, we are about to finish the mission, aren't we?

We have to start thinking about how we're going to spend the money.

Well, but we still have to find the third key,

find the evidence.

I can already picture myself when I go back to Culiacan.

-As soon as I arrive, some taquitos of-- -Wait.

You're still missing Epifanio's permission for you to go back in, you know?

The first thing I'm going to do

is to kiss the ground where I was born.

-Here's to those plans. -Hell, yeah.

What about you, Oleg?

I plan to retreat from civilization.

What the fuck? Civilization? Like a castaway or what?

In southern Russia, there is a place called Ulan-Ude.

A small town,

surrounded by rivers and mountains.

A very quiet place.

Quiet?

I don't picture you in a quiet place.

Sorry, but I don't.

I'm tired of running.

Perhaps the time has come for me to retire.

Try something new.

So is living alone part of the retirement?

Not necessarily.

If Fedor wants to join me, he's welcome to.

And what about you, Teresa? What are your plans?

Well, my plans are that I have no plans.

My plans depend on Sofia's plans.

-And yours. -Me?

What are you talking about?

You and your boy are my family, our family.

So I would like you both to be with us.

If you don't want to, I'm not going to force you.

Of course I want to.

-Thank you. -Welcome.

Although my plans...

Oh, no, no, sorry, sorry. I know.

Your plans depend on other plans.

We'll see.

How are you guys? Everything all right?

Hey, how did it go, Faustino?

Oh, very well.

Everything's already settled in Colombia.

Good.

What is it about Colombia?

Stop. Look.

At least they can go without knowing

what name she's using now.

Yeah, good idea.

You spoke too much, Julieta.

What? He was about to hang up.

Well, now, they'll locate her, track her, satellite-pinpoint her,

and they won't pay us.

But if they hung up on me, they wouldn't pay us anything either.

Even if they only know the city where she is,

it's not that easy to track her down.

Oh, again.

That was fast.

PRIVATE NUMBER

Hello?

I need the name on the passport.

I told you I wouldn't give you any more information.

Have you seen Teresa Mendoza?

No more information. Do I have to spell it out for you?

Well, at least tell me if she is with someone.

She is with four people, that's all.

I hope you are aware of how important this issue is,

-Mrs. Julieta Brito. -Of course I am.

-I am not playing games. -You better not be.

I'm leaving right now for Buenos Aires. I'll call you when I get there.

And don't talk to anyone about it, understood?

Perfect. I'll be waiting for your call.

What the fuck is Mendoza doing in Buenos Aires?

We won't be able to go with you.

You know the instructions. The helicopter is waiting for you

in that building where we had arranged to meet.

You have half an hour to get there.

Once you are in the United States, you know who to contact.

Understood?

That means we're gonna split up again.

Well, the thing is, I need you to come with me, Anton,

Oleg and Batman.

We don't know how hard it'll be to get the evidence.

What about you, Faustino?

Did your friend tell you exactly where they'll be arriving?

Sweetie, the man was deciding between two possibilities.

One, towards the Pacific Coast in a fishing village with hot weather.

And the other in Bogota.

It's close, about two hours away.

We'll go to the blazing hot or the freezing cold. One or the other.

What about transportation?

No, the man is also in charge of arranging that. He handles everything.

But why Colombia?

We supposedly left from there because of the danger, right?

Well, you see, my friend has control over there,

so he's going to get us a safe place.

Besides, think about something.

All the money, all my money is there.

Are we going back to Guatape?

Well, I can't do that, sis.

It seems things are really complicated over there.

In fact, I'm going to ask my cousin to bring me the money to where we are.

But I promise that once everything is calmed down,

we'll go get the boy, okay?

Okay.

At what time do you leave for Argentina?

In the gray hour.

The gray hour? What is that?

When it is neither night nor day.

My mother felt uneasy about it until I was born at that time.

Idiot.

Do you know what makes leaders like me so great?

-What is it? -Knowing how to choose your people.

That's why I chose Teresita.

Because I knew she would do a good job on this one.

Fucking Teresita. She's got some fucking ovaries right there.

-She got what she wanted. -Yeah.

You know what? We've got the fucking gringos down

on their knees in front of us in a jiffy.

-Fuck yeah! -Can you imagine?

Six more years of government without those bastards fucking us over.

Well, that's my dream, buddy.

Hell, yeah!

-Fucking great! -I hope so. That would be great.

-Cheers, buddy. -Cheers.

-Hey, buddy, but... -Huh?

Are you now going to negotiate directly with Kozar or...?

That matter is already settled.

Well, if it's settled, then we have to see about Teresa's forgiveness,

because otherwise, the bitch is going to fuck you up good.

That would be awful.

Nobody knows Teresita better than I do.

You might as well put a noose around your neck and commit suicide.

No, don't get carried on, man. Don't go overboard.

We'll have Teresita eating out of our hands, look.

-Sir? -What is it?

The place is ready.

-Are they already there? -Yes.

Well, send them in. Let the defendants come in!

Yes, sir.

Ladies.

I got a surprise for you. We'll celebrate high and loud. Look.

Look at these girls. Let's see. Let me spin you around, love.

Move a little closer, sweetie.

-You are so beautiful, love. -Yeah?

I'll tell you a common saying from my town.

"This little body is going to get eaten by worms.

But first, let the humans enjoy it."

We already got the money.

What a relief. I'm finally getting out of this joint.

I'm telling you, the food is not bad, it just needs a little salt.

Look, the clock is ticking, you know?

I have 27 hours left.

I already know that.

What about my plane? Is it ready?

You just focus on handing over the key, okay?

I'm gonna need a tuxedo to go get the key.

And I think you're gonna need one too, if you're coming with me, right?

Well, I'm really glad you weren't able to shoot.

Isn't that what you trained me for?

No.

No, miss.

I trained you

so you would know how to defend yourself.

Not for you to go around shooting bullets at all the people out there.

On the road when we were coming here,

I was thinking about how you feel about.

How do I feel about what?

About having shot so many times against so many people.

Listen.

Did I like it? No.

Did I have to do it?

No doubt.

Would I do it again? I don't want to.

That's why I want this nightmare to be over.

So that when we hear of guns, bullets, dead people,

it will only be in the movies.

Mateo is also glad that I didn't shoot.

I was wrong about that kid.

He didn't just save your life.

He also knows right from wrong.

Sorry. I didn't know you were here. I was just--

-No, come, Mateo. -Yes?

I just want to hug you. If you let me, of course.

-May I? -Okay.

Look at me.

Thank you for everything you do for my daughter.

Thank you for saving her life, for taking care of her,

but most of all, for loving her the way you love her.

You don't have to thank me. I'll do anything for Sofia.

Well, I'm going to try to get some sleep before I go.

And I'm already missing you.

And you, keep taking good care of her, okay?

Of course I will.

Before you go, wake me up, please, to say goodbye.

I wouldn't miss that kiss for anything in the world.

-Good night, Mom. -I love you.

I love you more.

Are you sure this is the place?

Then why doesn't the bastard come out?

Maybe... Here he comes.

Watch out while we close the deal.

-Hey, hey. -Excuse me.

-General Garrido. -Of course.

Sorry, I almost didn't recognize you, man.

The head of security--

Genaro Montaño, head of Presidential Security.

And what are you doing here, man? I always see you at the palace.

Oh, it's just that I always come here for breakfast.

I highly recommend it. It's very good.

I didn't recognize you without the uniform either.

It will happen to you too.

I'll just tell you that I haven't even tied my shoelaces.

Of course, it happens to all of us.

-Will you hold it for me? -Of course.

You know, it's the second time I've tripped today.

You know what? I really recommend

the rubber shoelaces we get in military school.

Well, you've done your good deed for the day.

Don't mention it.

-It was nice to see you. -Take care.

You too, General.

You know what?

I recommend the Mexican-style eggs.

With onions and jalapeño peppers?

It's better with red peppers.

Take care, Montaño.

Just you wait.

Listen, buddy.

The problem lies in the words and how you use them.

We don't have to say "law of subjugation."

We can say "general amnesty."

-It doesn't matter. The end is the same. -It's not, man.

In a general amnesty, you release the criminals,

and if by chance a drug dealer escapes, oh, well.

-You are underestimating the people. -No.

No, I am giving them what they need, what they want.

Listen, in order to get a real transformation,

we need to start from scratch

so that Mexican people can have the Mexico they have dreamed of.

For that to work, you'll need the support of those who will oppose it.

-The military? -Exactly.

They will never endorse that law.

They don't like that issue.

I'll take care of it, man.

You get me a meeting with the entire military leadership

for tomorrow, okay?

-What is it? -Your friends.

And why the fuck are they calling you now?

-I don't know. -Well, answer them.

Hello?

What?

When did they take him?

Okay, fine.

Keep me posted as soon as something happens.

What happened?

Attorney Aguilar disappeared after he had the meeting with us.

WASHINGTON D.C., USA

Open! Open up!

Mr. Aguilar.

We regret the conditions

under which you were brought to the United States, Mr. Aguilar.

We know you are asking for money.

We heard the calls, you idiot.

Well, you heard wrong, you idiot.

I didn't make any call.

I told you I'm only going to talk in front of a judge.

-And with a lawyer by my side. -Fine.

I'll make sure you talk to a judge.

But it will be in my country.

For that, you'll have to extradite me first.

You have nothing on me.

Taking advantage of the fact that you left the United States

as soon as you finished that meeting with Epifanio Vargas, then--

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

And then later, when you arrived in the United States,

you were stopped at Customs.

This is a priority issue for this country.

We hope you understand and work with us.

I don't give a damn if this is a priority issue for you or not.

I'm going to prove this is a stupid set-up.

The lawyer is right. There is something...

There's something that doesn't make sense. It doesn't add up.

I know!

You forgot about the suitcase.

Suitcase? What suitcase are you talking about?

-What are you talking about? -Listen!

Listen about the suitcase. The suitcase...

I can pay for a lawyer.

Two, three.

I do not think that there's a single judge

here in your distinguished nation who'll dare to convict me

after this insult.

When you arrived at Mexico City's airport,

before you entered, someone handed you a suitcase.

How many grams

did the lawyer want to fit in that suitcase?

Enough for you to rot

for the rest of your fucking days in jail, motherfucker.

I demand

to speak to a lawyer right now.

Of course, we cannot deny you that right.

We'll immediately get you transferred to a prison

and you'll have access to a lawyer there.

Who is the person speaking to you?

I am not authorized to give you that information.

I only serve as an interpreter.

Just so you have an idea

of whom some of your fellow inmates will be

while you fight to prove your innocence

and show the irregularities in the process of your capture.

Perhaps you have heard of or know some of them.

Thank God you have nothing to do with the northern cartels.

Because they, your new fellow inmates,

don't get along very well with those cartels.

Most likely, something will happen to you

before you get the hearing date with the judge.

You can't do this to me.

Of course we can, and we will,

unless you decide to cooperate with us.

If the information you give us is useful,

how long will it take you to set up an operation?

If we have a clear time, place and target, half an hour.

-Wow, pretty effective. -Are you surprised?

-No, I'm not saying anything. -It's not necessary.

-Where? -Up here.

Ernie Palermo. Who is this?

Luis Gallardo, a co-worker of mine.

Didn't I specifically tell you not to say anything to anyone?

Luis is aware of everything,

and it was both our ideas to turn her in.

Charlie Velazquez, my partner.

Agent Miller from Interpol.

Well, I don't know how shall we start, uh...

What is the protocol? It's the first time for us.

We're not giving you any more information until we get--

No, please. Go away, please. Tell them not to disturb us.

I'm sorry. What did you say?

What you heard.

We're not giving you any more information until you guarantee us payment.

Listen, first,

I need more evidence.

I need more pictures.

I need to know if you are sure of her whereabouts.

Have you or your people heard of someone named Uriel?

-Uriel? -I think it has to be someone

who has direct contact with your boss,

-here or in Mexico. -Uriel?

Honestly, I've never heard of that name before.

Well, that's very strange, isn't it?

I mean, because the three of them, Ruben, Karen, Samuel,

have told us about him.

How they have done the dirty work,

but nobody has seen him, they don't know him.

Neither them nor anyone else.

In any case, Uriel is still a great mystery.

A great mystery, but also a very good business, isn't it?

Look, Karen was the one getting him the information.

Ruben was in charge of moving the merchandise

through his pre-Columbians.

And Samuel was in charge of the money laundering.

Where could they have the key?

Wherever that darn key is,

it must either be in a very fancy place,

or this kid is going away on a plane like James Bond.

He ordered a tuxedo. Can you believe it?

I can believe anything about Samuel. He's a madman.

What about the money? How's that going?

It's going well. I'll leave and go look for it somewhere else.

Shall I take you to the hotel, then?

Yes, to the hotel.

But you know what?

I wouldn't want Mortati to see Anton and Oleg.

-What should I tell him? -In this case,

we'd better go to the ballroom.

No, no. Sorry, pal. That is no ballroom.

It's the temple of tango, which is not the same thing.

-You'll see. -What the fuck?

Who did you say he is?

It's the bodyguard.

It's the bodyguard.

That's the guy that goes out with the chick.

Boyfriend, partner, something like that.

This person posed as her lawyer in prison

and helped her escape.

Who is he?

That's the son.

He's Spanish, or at least he sounds like one.

-Her son? -Yes.

No...

No.

He's Oleg Yasikov's son.

The last time I saw him was in London, several years ago.

He's a grown-up now.

He is the son of the Russian guy. Where is the Russian?

-Russian? -No, there are no Russians in the group.

Okay, okay, go on, go on.

-What about her? -She's the personal assistant.

She's supposed to be Mexican, but she's got a funny accent.

Yeah, I saw a picture of her in the passport in Bolivia,

-which was also fake. -Okay.

Here's what we're looking for.

Well, Elena Bocanegra.

Or at least that's what her passport says.

Meet...

Teresa Mendoza.

Where did you take these pictures?

We're not giving you any more information

until we're sure that the payment is coming.

Listen to me carefully.

The payment will come if the operation is successful.

It is not in the best interest of the U.S. government

to save some dollars.

We want her. Understood?

Well, these photos are from a security camera.

From the hotel they're staying at.

Mortati Palace.

That's where we work.

She's the manager, I'm the head of security.

Are you sure that Teresa Mendoza and her gang

don't know that you are reporting her?

-Yes, we are sure. -Are you sure?

Yes.

Yes.

Okay. Agent.

Set up the operation.

Mortati Palace. I'll meet you there.

Welcome.

Thank you.

It's good to see you back.

It's good to see you again too.

So, how's it going?

Fine, fine. Exactly the way you left it.

And how are you?

The person you missed the most is here!

Did you miss us, buddy?

Oh, you can't imagine how much so.

Long time no see.

I hope you've had time to take a break from us.

Hmm. Not as much as I wanted to.

Because of him, not you.

I know.

-How is Samuel? -Well, he won't shut up.

And he won't stop counting the seconds.

Yeah, well, thank goodness he's not the only one in a hurry, right?

How are you sure that the fucking gringos were the ones who took Aguilar?

Your DEA buddies have a contact here who tipped them off.

They're almost certain that they took him to the United States, buddy.

Almost certain?

Almost.

It was a top confidential operation.

No one in the DEA knew about it.

Do you know what worries me?

If Aguilar got caught after our meeting,

it's because we have a mole.

Yeah. Did they follow us or what?

Well, that is what worries me.

I mean, we took all necessary precautions.

No, you know what?

I'm sure there's a loudmouth in here.

We have a snitch.

The snitch was Vanessita, wasn't she?

She was.

Yes, but there's no other way.

We've got another snitch.

These pictures will work for now.

-Good work, Sergeant. -Thank you, General.

Here's the note I prepared.

I produced it on a typewriter so that nothing could be identified.

All right.

What happened with the appropriations?

Don't you worry about anything, General. That's already taken care of.

The friend of a friend who works in a bank helped us.

Luckily for us, your friends have so many friends.

I hope it will never be necessary

to make use of this.

Wow.

Elena, what a surprise.

I thought I would never see you again.

A bad penny always turns up.

Here I am, in one piece. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

No, you will never disappoint me.

And who is that? Aren't you going to introduce us?

This is not a friends' meeting.

Oh, what a pity.

I lost the friends I had recently.

What about Ruben? Did he say hello?

-He didn't even say your name. -Did you kill him?

I didn't come to make friends with anyone.

-I came to close a deal. -All right, that's fine with me.

Is the money ready?

It's on its way.

Here? No, don't waste your time.

-I don't need it here. -So?

Is my plane ready?

Yes.

All right, here's how it's going to go.

My pilot's gonna get the money,

and I'll give you the key.

But first, I have to call him to let him know.

Where do you have the key?

You're going to love this.

OPERA IN THE COLUMBUS

What does all this have to do with the key?

Everything.

The key is there, in Columbus Theater.

I have a box reserved for the whole season and the key is kept there.

Safely.

Don't try to play smart, you hear?

Because it's going to cost you.

I thought you liked to play.

How are you going to get it back?

No, that's bullshit.

The play is at 7:30 p.m.

I'll go in, grab the key, take it out,

and that's it.

But I figure you won't let me go alone,

so I'll have to ask you

to doll up, make yourself pretty, beautiful.

And those coming with us too,

they have to be well-dressed.

But I'll have to call my pilot first.

-No funny business. -What do you think?

This all seems really weird to me.

And the guy is unbearable.

Well...

I think the same about both things.

Wait a minute. What do you think you're doing?

You can't just barge into my hotel whenever you feel like it.

-Are you done? -I'm done whenever I want

-because it's my hotel. -I have an arrest warrant

-for Teresa Mendoza. -Oh, yeah? And who's Teresa Mendoza?

I don't know anyone under that name registered in this hotel.

Yes, you do, Lorenzo. It's Elena Bocanegra.

I already verified it.

According to the waitress, the assistant and the supposed son are upstairs.

What do you mean, "the supposed son"?

Lorenzo Mortati, harboring a fugitive

is a crime punished with jail time.

Are you sure that Teresa Mendoza and her alleged lover are not here?

Not fully sure, but we can check the cameras.

What... is this? Oh, my God.

Come here. Tell me...

Since when are you talking to these people? Since when?

-Where are they? -Presidential suite.

At least they always meet there.

Okay, let's go. Place two men at the door.

You're coming with us.

Wait a moment, a little discretion.

What's that? There are many guests there. There's no need to intimidate them.

Sheila, come on, damn it.

You two, don't move away from the door.

-The rest are coming with us. -Move forward, please.

Sheila, open up, it's me!

They found us. Close the door.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE

On my signal, we proceed with caution.

If things get bad, to hell with discretion.

They kidnapped the lawyer who appeared in the press.

What I need is for you to help me find Aguilar.

If we don't solve this, forget about sinking the whole thing.

If you decide not to collaborate with us, you'll be in just as much danger.

Your clients must be very nervous after your disappearance.

Columbus Theater! Columbus Theater!

I'm not ready to part from you.

Neither am I.

Are you going to tell me what you gain from all this?

My freedom.

And why don't you go off to the end of the world like I'm about to?

Because I already tried, and it didn't work.

They're on the right side of the box.

Okay, I'm looking for positions.
