Who the fuck are you, imbecile?

I am your manager.

Well, take care of him. I should not come.

I'll take care of it

Who sent you here?

Who gave you this address?

I do not know. He was a big guy.

It seemed Mexican. I had many tattoos.

Very intimidating, at least for this gringo.

It could be any of my acquaintances. What is your name?

I do not know your name. Who do you think I am, Alexander Graham Bell?

I do not even know how to send messages.

- I do not know what it is called. - It's okay.

Yesterday, he stopped to visit an old friend. I'm going to kill him.

- I will not stand ... - Calm down.

Listen to me.

He moves his way. He has done well.

If you change the route, maybe it's good,

because it is less predictable. You understand?

But we do not like it that way to the other drivers.

You have to please me.

It is understood?

Yes, understood.

Stay with him.

That you feel comfortable

Other than that,

how are you?

Good.

All right. Do your work.

What do you have?

I'm risking too much.

If they find out what I'm talking about with you, they will kill me.

Or better not work with drug dealers.

I brought you a coffee with milk. Do you feel better?

What do you have for us?

I do not know if I should do this.

What do you have?

What is this?

It is a cargo manifest.

What is this? A code?

Symbols for each mule,

symbols for the routes, dates and shipments.

This is a new mule. Tata

A new guy He transported 121 kilos in April,

My God. Is it like that?

Is the nickname "Tata"?

- Is that so? - Yes, Tata.

All right. Good job.

I have to register this.

I must return it before they see that it is not there.

I need it back.

Anyway, you end up reporting.

I just need...

Think of who else you can give away while you wait

No. Come on, I just ...

Think about it.

RIBS SHANE'S

All right. Thank you.

I answer for these guys. They work for me

Do you know this guy?

Yes. I met them at Home Depot.

They are helping me with the move.

They work very well.

Cheaper than a moving company.

They work very well.

Can a moment come?

There is something very important in the truck that I want to show you.

Very important.

He will love it

They gave me these caramelized popcorn in a charity.

They are delicious.

We can not accept these things.

He would do me a great favor.

To the girls above you will like it too

Thanks for helping me, sir.

In agreement?

I'm an admirer of the police.

I support them.

We appreciate your work.

- Yes. - The numbers went down, special agent.

I know they came down. The numbers do not reflect reality,

and we will correct them today.

- Correct them and send them. - Yes, sir.

Today.

Yes sir.

What?

The main mule of the cartel goes to a delivery.

We know the route. It goes in a black truck.

It's a needle in a haystack, but something is something.

How do we know?

Telephone eavesdropping

They thought he had an accident.

But it goes in a van on Interstate 55

When will it arrive?

At 9:00 p.m. m. We have five hours left.

If we send official stop similar vehicles

by any control, we will stop it without alerting the cartel.

Is this the guy who believes Who brings 100 kilos per month to Chicago?

One hundred kilos is to be too enthusiastic,

if we consider that we confiscate five kilos per month.

That is yes or no?

Yes.

But I want arrests, Agent Bates.

My name is Pancho Villa

Mary the gonorrhea could infect me

He gave it to me without asking

Now I can not urinate

You're very ugly

You're very ugly

You're an ugly boy

It was just a suggestion.

Earl, wait. No. Where are you going?

I will go to my room.

There I am someone.

Nobody wants to alert the cartel,

but we must show We move forward with the case.

Talk about an advertising trick.

In Arlington there is a table of administrators like this one,

but they wonder what the hell we do,

and if someone could be more productive.

We need arrests, Agent Bates.

There is a supposed drug house

who will receive a shipment in the coming days.

I like it that way

- Possible arrests. - All right.

But it should look work of the local police.

For the cartel.

Our report will indicate that was our operation.

Do it. But I want arrests.

They already heard the man.

It's complicated.

A good impression.

Last minute orders?

Yes. Nobody shoot me, unless it is necessary.

It's your show, captain. We are spectators.

They did exams and tomographies, but it does not matter.

They said he should have come a year ago.

Grandpa Earl, can you hear me?

Yes.

You have to come now.

Ginny, I can not.

What? Why?

They said it could happen any day.

I'm very tight on time.

I have many things. I can not.

Yeah sure.

They told me everything for years,

It turns out that I was always wrong.

Ginny ...

Earl.

What do you want?

I did not include you in the will.

Sorry.

I did not mean that.

I'm scared.

Yes.

The only one who wants to reach 100, He is the one who has 99.

I'm sorry, Mary.

I'm sorry about everything

You lived to go back out there.

All the conventions,

the meetings, be in the limelight.

They had the man funny and wonderful that you are.

It was our turn the Earl who just wanted to leave.

Yes.

You're right.

I thought it was better to be someone outside,

than the unsuccessful one that was in my house.

Anyway, if it works,

I'm here now.

I do not know why,

but for some reason,

I'm glad you're here.

Yes.

Thank you.

Does not respond, again.

This is not good, Earl.

We'll liquidate that fucking Tata.

It was supposed to arrive from yesterday.

Maybe the boy lied.

Perhaps.

Wait, there's a call from inside.

They do not know where it is either.

They sound angry.

They say that when they find it,

they will kill him.

You're good?

All right.

Earl.

Tell me something.

Yeah, whatever.

How did you get all that money?

Well, I ...

I'm not going to lie to you

I am a first-class seducer.

- Bounty hunter? - Let's go.

Seriously.

It's good, seriously.

I became a mule for a cartel.

I have 305 kilos of cocaine in the box of my truck.

You will never tell me.

I do not know what you did,

but you did not have to be rich so that we would like you close.

Yes.

You finally came.

You see? It did not eliminate you completely.

Do not.

I failed you, Iris.

I was a terrible father and a lousy husband.

I ruined everything.

I ruined my chance.

I do not think so.

I think you take root late.

Yes.

They are very upset. They have not heard from him for more than a week.

Cocaine worth 12 million,

They have people on all the highways.

All right.

We have new information from Tata.

I have new information from my boss.

- It's time to finish. - We can catch him.

- Months have passed, Colin. - What does a few more days matter?

We do not even know if he is still there.

We gave you so much time and resources how we give to anyone.

You did a good job

If you had more days while we finished the court orders, what would you do?

Follow those who follow you.

We intervene the phones of some of the cartel that seeks it.

It's okay, do it.

Thank you.
