INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

Don't forget this particular fugitive

is a highly-skilled extreme athlete, considered dangerous,

and that he's already linked to multiple murders.

Gloria, stay sharp, he'll be arriving any minute.

Everyone else, hold your positions.

-Beto, you see anything? -Nothing.

Damn, Archi, you really nailed the gringo disguise.

-Cri, I'll tell you when to run for it. -Yes, boss.

Requesting authorization to make the arrest when he comes aboard, sir?

Nico, this bastard was able to give the Marshals the slip.

Arresting him at sea is our best option.

Keep your head cooler than a cold beer, my man.

Don't rush it, Nico.

We gotta stick to the plan.

He's on his way to the dock.

Coming down the boardwalk.

Here we go.

-Hey, Mr. Smith! -Hey, Thalía.

Uh, let me take you to your boat.

After you.

Oh, what a gentleman.

Thalía?

Pick a normal name next time, huh?

They're on the move. Stay focused.

Guess what?

This is your boat.

-Fuck's sake. This one? -Yes.

-Hey. -Yo.

That's not the deal. I paid for a private trip.

Yeah, it is a private trip. It's just, uh, for you two.

Come on, man! You coming or what?

It's a perfect day. Sunny! It's great!

You're coming with me.

May I, captain?

-Sure thing. Hop in, güera. -All right.

Sure.

-Fuck it, let's do it. -Welcome.

Nice day, huh? 'Sup?

Gloria, why are you on the boat? That wasn't the plan.

-Hey there! -Hey! How's it going?

Great, great.

Hey, your boat is turning out great.

-Just about. Okay? -Yeah, it's really nice.

And how's your family? How's everything going?

The Marshals just caught another member of the fugitive's regular crew.

Don't let your guards down.

Is this your, uh, first time in Mexico?

Robert Jones. You're under arrest. Don't move.

Fugitive on the run!

Cri, pull right up to the boardwalk.

Beto, get out there.

The rest of you cover the piers.

They're coming right for you, Beto.

-Cut them off. -Get him, Beto!

Freeze, asshole!

I ain't one to mess about…

Don't shoot!

There are too many civilians. Cover the docks.

Nico, what are you doing?

…by shaking like a diva

Let's go!

I'm spinning out

Come on, come on!

Gloria, cover the next dock.

He's getting away!

What?

Where you going? What you doing to me?

Stop, motherfucker, stop!

My better self is off the shelf And I am feeling eager

I'm terrible, repairable And drinking every liter

We'll boogie up and boogie down To Marvin and Aretha

'Cause they ain't ones to mess about

Hey, noche, Where you going?

What you doin' to me?

Hey, noche, Where you going?

Freeze, asshole!

What you doin' to me?

Tequila!

I'm closing off access to the shipyard.

I'm shaking

I'm hazy

I'm messed up

But lately

Tequila, you make me

Hey, noche!

Where you goin'?

Stop, motherfucker!

Tequila!

-Nico! -The door!

Yeah!

Don't let him get away!

Stop!

Stop!

I'm a-shufflin' a shakin'

You’re a grill and I am bacon Curing aches in every patient…

Don't fucking move.

Your boyfriend's face is vacant And your children need renaming

Makes behaving seem outdated Tequila, chase it!

Hey, where you goin'?

Hand him over to the Marshals.

ANY CONTRIBUTION HELPS

Arriving at the checkpoint with Robert Jones.

I know my rights. I don't agree to extradition.

That's nice. We don't care. Dude, you're not getting extradited.

You're getting deported.

-What? -We are deporting your ass.

-Fuck you. -No, fuck you.

Anne!

Hey, amigos.

-What do you got for us? -Another bad hombre.

I'm telling you, Anne, we need to put the wall on this side.

-You'll pay for it, right? -Where'd you get that great idea?

Hey, man, it'd be awesome

if you could track down the rest of the gang on your side, you know?

Let's go.

Don't you ever get tired of the same jokes, Nico?

No.

-Come on. -Hope you enjoyed Mexico, Bob Jones.

Good job, guys!

Hey, everybody, how are you? This is Frida Araujo.

So get this, guys, yesterday I was at the Port of Ensenada,

and I saw this group of undercover cops chase down and arrest this gringo

who was wanted for murder and had fled from the US to Mexico.

So, you know me, I did some investigating

and it turns out they're a special unit of the Baja California police.

Their job is to track down and deport gringos back to the States.

I'm serious,

their whole job is to catch criminals from America who flee to Mexico.

221,000 views?

But don't think they go after them like the assholes in Arizona who sell migrants.

Officially, they're known as the International Liaison Unit,

but let's call them Los Cazadores de Gringos.

Or as those in the States would say, the Gringo Hunters.

Oh wow, dude.

-No fucking way. -Come on, what?

-No way. -Did you read any of the comments?

"Fuck off, Gringos."

"If you think Montezuma's Revenge was bad, get ready for The Gringo Hunters."

-That's not right. -Or this.

"Make them walk home through the desert. They'll be sorry when the iguana bites."

-Hey! We're gonna get in trouble. -Good Morning.

-Hey, commander. -Good morning, sir.

-Hi. -Ortega's up my ass about that video.

He said anyone who gives an interview will lose their badge immediately.

I think Ortega has every right to be pissed.

Sure, but don't we get a little credit for arresting a homicidal maniac

with several ties to criminal organizations?

Our job is to stay under the radar.

Not get views on YouTube.

I know, but with all due respect, commander,

if you'd let us arrest him the second he got on the boat,

it would've been a different story.

-Yeah. -Gloria, what went well, what went badly?

Uh, well, the plan would've worked if we had time to get him on the water,

but his crew let him know, so we had to improvise.

Yeah.

Then someone thought he better go it alone and just do it his way…

-Alone? I thought all four of us got him. -That's what I said.

-We got him in the end. -We arrested him, what's the problem, Cri?

The problem is you made reckless decisions and the guy nearly got away.

You looked like Spiderman from my kid's party

jumping from boat to boat, waving your gun in front of civilians.

I know you care about this, Nico, but you're too hotheaded.

You need to keep calm like Gloria,

and Cri,

who, like me, has been around the block a few times and has formal training.

You should take notes.

Commander, I stand with Nico on this one.

If we'd taken the fugitive right away, we could've avoided this mess.

Thank you.

Were we supposed to know his buddy in America would tip him off?

He's got a point.

I know we can't put civilians at risk, but we let him escape, that's your plan?

-That's not it. -Why make plans at all?

It was Gloria's operation. Hers was the best plan,

until it wasn't.

But what matters to me is that you can all make decisions.

Instead of just waiting for my orders.

For example, I know I won't have to tell Beto to step up to the plate

because he never hesitates to do what needs to be done.

You are all here because you each complement each other's skills.

You need to work as one.

Well, all right. There's work to do.

-Hell yeah. -Yes, sir.

We've got a new high-priority case. The tip is still fresh.

-He didn't mention me. -Well, no. What could he say about you?

He only hired you 'cause you look like a gringo, Blondie.

You're an asshole, dude.

It's true, Archi. But you ended up being a decent operative.

Told you, man. You're the shit, gringo.

Cindy Wells, 49 years old. Single mother of two girls.

She's charged with first degree murder.

We don't know how long she's been here,

but two days ago she used her cell phone to call one of her daughters.

Her daughter Alice.

And who was the victim?

This man, 42 years old. His name is Thomas Moore.

And how'd she do it?

Cindy Wells trained dogs for a living and wasn't bad.

She trained one of her dogs to bite off the genitals of Mr. Moore.

-That's fucked up, man. -Gloria, Nico. This one's yours.

Analyze the geolocation from the call and get a perimeter established.

Archi, Cri.

Get us up to speed on the other cases.

-Beto. -Sir.

Come with me. We have a lead on Terry Davis.

Nueva Tijuana? Yes or no?

-No! -No, señor!

-That is my question. -Long live Tijuana!

-This why we need the referendum. -I'm voting yes!

This is a conversation our community needs to have.

Exactly!

Mr. Meyer. My first question.

CITIZENS' ASSEMBLY TIJUANA

Do you think it's necessary to change our laws and regulations,

to change our social norms,

to build massive hotels and casinos in Nueva Tijuana like in Las Vegas?

Yes. It is, Carlos.

Because Investing in this kind of infrastructure

can create a positive domino effect.

Businesses will grow, attracting more private funding,

more, uh, tourism.

And what does all that translate to?

Jobs. For all of you.

All right. Please, folks.

So, for example, Las Vegas gets around 40 million visitors each year,

generating in turn somewhere around $8 billion in a year. Just one.

So we lose our homes, then what?

A large part of the budget

is gonna secure housing for those who need it.

You think we're pendejos you want to get out of your way

so you can build hotels and casinos.

You can't sell Cartolandia.

We're not moving anywhere. We've lived here all our lives.

I understand what you're saying.

Why? Because you've been cheated your whole lives.

But the difference now is

that we will use contracts and get them notarized.

-We'll use a notary. -That makes the signatures official?

It's official. You can access it when you need.

Part of all our earnings will get allocated to our social wellness.

You might be thinking, who's gonna manage all that money?

Sueños sin Fronteras. The NGO Father Murphy runs.

He knows what you and your neighbors really need here in your community.

Yes or no?

Do you trust Father Murphy?

Well, as it happens, I trust him as well.

Yeah. And Father Murphy trusts me.

Well, then he's got it wrong.

Because who's going to fight for us? You?

Or when the trouble starts are you gonna run off back to the other side?

My friend.

Had I wanted to go live in the United States,

I would've gone 15 years ago when they killed my daughter.

Hm? But I didn't.

I stayed in Tijuana, I stood my ground,

and I'll remain here…

and do what I can to build a better Tijuana

for all of you out there.

VOTE NO TO NUEVA TIJUANA

NO TO PROSTITUTION OF THE CONSTITUTION

This would be a good place to hide out.

That's why we think he's here.

So are you gonna vote in the referendum?

Yes or no on Nueva Tijuana?

How's it going? Wanna party?

Not now, miss, thank you, though.

I'm voting no.

The only thing those casinos would do is make a lot more work for us.

And you?

I'm voting for it.

Times are hard, but this might make it a bit better.

Things can get much worse, if you ask me.

Look.

Yeah, that could be Terry Davis.

Why don't you go help Cri and Archi?

-You sure? -This gringo is only wanted for fraud.

I can handle him on my own.

What if she brings her dog?

Would you shoot a dog?

Well, if one tried to bite off my dick then I'd have no choice.

Nah, man, I couldn't do it.

That could be Cindy, right?

Could be.

Hey.

It's not her.

Aw, shit.

Well, we'll keep looking until we find her.

Yeah, sure, but it wasn't her.

We're following other leads at the moment.

No. Gloria's looking into the daughter right now.

Yes.

-What's up? -You busy?

Uh, I'll call you back.

What is it?

The victim ran a porn site, Nico. With his brother.

And those assholes exposed Cindy's youngest daughter on there.

This is Alice, her oldest daughter.

She started a support group for everyone who's had the same problem.

Check it out.

My 17-year-old sister, Lori,

was extorted by these guys before they shared her video anyway.

Lori attempted suicide and is now in a coma.

Help us bring Dylan Moore to justice.

Help us end revenge porn.

I guess now we know her motive

for training her dog to bite the balls off of him.

As a mother, I would've done that, wouldn't you?

Yeah, of course I feel that way, as a dad.

It doesn't change the fact that she killed someone.

I know. But anyway, I wrote to Alice, let's see if she responds.

Okay. Now all we can do is wait.

That's him.

He's been here for three days.

Thank you.

Terry Davis?

Police!

You are wanted in the United States for fraud.

It's my job to deport you and hand you over to the U.S. Marshals.

You believe in Saint George?

Every night I pray for forgiveness for my sins.

The fraud?

It's much worse than that.

Hey, guys.

Did you park the car okay, honey?

Always, Mom. Where's the monster?

I'm whistling and whistling, nothing, no one cares.

In the kitchen.

Does anybody care? Huh?

Gloria, I went shopping today. I bought some nice stuff. Look.

Typical me, buying everything.

-But what'd you get for the monster? -Look, honey.

-I got-- -Oh my God. No, Mom.

Oh no, you messed up your hair, Ismael.

-Mm-hm. -What do you mean, "Mm-hm"?

Dude!

All the way to the root?

Hey, give me that. Mom, don't give him your phone.

When he has it he can't pay attention to anything else.

Green?

-Looks cool, right? -Sure it looks cool.

That's why I wanted to do it too.

-If I'd waited for you, I'd go gray. -No, my roots are showing.

That's why I told you I wanted to go with you.

COMMENT

And of course…

Sprocket!

This cutie is one-eyed Sprocket.

He's been with me since I was three years old.

Now I'm done.

That's all I packed when I ran away from my mom.

You can't bring too much stuff with you or else they'll catch you.

And, um…

And that is my cue, I think. I'll see ya later.

What's up, Dad?

Hey, you.

-Were you talking to someone? -To my followers.

Followers?

Charles Manson had some followers.

-You're crazy. -What?

Your mom didn't tell me that you would be here.

I mean, you know you're always welcome.

I just would rather you let me know ahead of time.

You hungry?

Starving.

-What are you guys fighting about now? -Everything.

She was insisting that I let her follow me on social media.

There's no way.

Right. She mentioned that.

But what are you posting about that you don't want us to see?

No, I don't want her to see

because we'll just fight, because she's always mad.

But if you want to open an account and send me a request…

-Nah, man. No way. -Only if you really wanted to.

This is where my parents lived before they died.

You'll be safe here.

This way.

This information is extremely dangerous.

If the wrong people find this out, your life could be at risk.

All of the evidence is in the notebook, correct?

Yeah.

Names and dates, receipts from the bank.

My life is in your hands.

And my soul is in God's.

We're talking about very powerful people.

And I don't have the authority to get you into witness protection.

But if what you're saying is true, then I know who can.

For your own safety, I'm gonna lock all the doors.

There's enough food for a couple of days.

I'll be back soon.

Temo, what is it?

I came across something very serious that's outside my jurisdiction.

Well, what do you think, man?

Nueva Tijuana, yes or no? How are you gonna vote?

I'm leaning no to stop us from selling more land to the gringos,

but, honestly I don't know.

I think it's wrong to sit around and let our city become a brothel,

a playground for the gringos, I don't want that.

That's how it's always been.

A brothel isn't the issue, the problem is that nothing's regulated.

They just do what the hell they want.

Just look it up on your phones, my friends.

How much is Joaquín Meyer-Rodríguez worth?

-How much? -Take a guess.

-More than 3.5 billion. -Holy…

He's creating this whole huge empire out of all of his businesses.

Yeah, he's working on his huge empire, but for him and his gringo partners only.

Yeah, that guy's a fucking shark. But Father frickin' Murphy?

People really like that guy.

I guess that's it, then. No need to think for ourselves or vote.

-Hey, dude. -I'm just saying.

-You can't talk to Cri about politics. -We already know that.

-Who did you vote for? -For Trump. Three times.

-I'd vote for that guy again if I could. -Come on.

They should strip your dual citizenship for being a dumbass.

For being a terrible Mexican.

-That's enough. Stop it, guys. -Hey! Fuck you! One at a time!

-Commander. -Well, good morning.

-Commander. -Sir.

-How are all of you? -Getting by.

-How'd it go with Terry Davis? -He wasn't the fugitive.

We got the tip wrong.

Remember we're switching out the cars today.

Start cleaning your junk out of the vehicles.

-Already did. -Hey, commander, this one's still new.

No, you just get sentimental whenever things change. Look at him.

-Hey, Cri. -Yeah?

-Clean out your ashtray properly. -Yes, sir.

-Commander. -Hey, look!

-He's so sad. -No way, man.

Good morning.

-Hello, Marisol. -Mr. Ortega is waiting for you.

Your ego collection is missing a photo.

That's because I keep it here, asshole.

Temo.

Is this one new?

What do you think? My kids had it framed for me for my birthday.

And it coincided with the anniversary.

-That was 15 years ago. -Yeah.

I'll never understand how you screwed that one up so badly.

Go to hell. What are you talking about, man?

We've always been a team. Haven't we?

Two more outlets have contacted me for interviews.

We won't say anything.

But we need you out of the headlines as much as possible. Understand?

Or do you want us to hang photos of you guys all around town?

What about what I told you?

You need to let us handle that case, Temo.

As you said yourself, it's outside your jurisdiction.

There's a witness who will only speak to me.

You need to help me set everything up carefully.

You don't wanna mess with these men.

Pain in the ass.

All right then, fine.

We'll do it your way.

You make sure the witness stays safe and I'll handle the immunity deal.

But what you're asking me for is not that simple.

I understand.

Come on.

-Goal! Goal! Goal! -No! You always beat me!

Oh, come on. Don't worry, Sebas.

-Hey! You'll beat me one of these days. -Not true.

Yes, it's true.

-Welcome to Nueva Tijuana. -Ready?

My name is Joaquín Meyer-Rodríguez and I want to share this dream…

I'm sorry, one more minute.

…that, together, we can turn into a reality.

We will develop almost a thousand acres of attractions for tourists,

including hotels, casinos,

and a new entertainment center to rival any in the world.

But before we build Nueva Tijuana, our constitution has to change.

-This July 23rd… -Father Murphy.

-…vote yes for Nueva Tijuana. -Abelardo.

Father, I need your help.

Hey there, how are you?

Hey. How's it going? Good morning.

See you later.

Oh! How are you all?

Huh? Nice to see you.

See you soon.

Hi. Hey!

There you are! Is your husband feeling better?

How's it going, Panda?

What's up, Father? How's everything?

I'm very well, and you?

Yeah, I'm pretty good.

Mm. That's good.

Is Crazy here?

Ah, sorry, man.

Haven't seen him today yet.

Father.

CRAZY

You here to take my confession, Father Murphy?

I guess you've been pretty busy lately, huh?

It's driving me crazier than you are.

Listen, you know that I've always shown you respect, Crazy.

And I expect you to do the same for me.

Anyway, a young kid who comes by my shelter, known as El Hormiga,

came here to visit his grandma and never came back.

His uncle tells me that you hired the kid to be a lookout for you.

I can… see a whole bunch of lookouts, Crazy.

Come on, let's go!

Give us the boy.

I told you! Panda! What'd I say, huh?

This fucking priest has eyes and ears everywhere, doesn't he?

Hey, get Hormiga.

Bless it, will ya, Father?

You know I can't do that.

But I can bless you if you'd like me to.

Hormiga!

Ah!

Thank you, Crazy.

Father.

That one's for you.

Now another one for me.

INTERNATIONAL LIAISON UNIT

Hey, Nico, look.

I made contact with Cindy Wells' daughter using a fake account.

She sent me a picture.

Okay…

Here we go.

It was taken a week ago here in Tijuana.

Okay. Let me check the photo's metadata.

What does that say?

Uh…

Right there.

K-9.

K… one sec.

PET STORES IN TIJUANA BEST STORES FOR DOGS IN TIJUANA

K9-T VETERINARIAN

It matches the location of the photo.

-Hello. How are you? -Good afternoon.

-What can I do for you three? -We'd like to get this one trained.

And we heard there was a great trainer here, so…

Yeah, she was an American woman.

-Supposed to be good. -Mm-hm.

I'm sorry, but all of our trainers are locals.

It's weird, right?

Or I guess that she might've lied to stop Alice from worrying about her.

Could be.

It's Cri. He's asking when we're returning his dog.

-You can. -No, you return it.

-It's your turn. -What turn? No, all right?

-Fine. -Ro-sham-bo.

Ro-sham-bo.

No way. Two outta three.

Five pesos…

ST. GEORGE PARISH

Father Joel.

Good morning, Temo. It's a miracle to see you on a weekday.

I got nostalgic and wanted to visit my parents.

Just let me know if you wanna confess today.

Yes, Father.

I'm a bad bitch with a fat ass…

Fuck with that shit 'cause I really…

Hi.

Hey.

Sorry for bothering you.

Are… are you okay?

Not really.

Someone used the photo I sent you to threaten to kill my mom.

And I don't know what to do. I'm desperate.

Okay listen to me. I'm gonna come clean with you.

I'm a cop.

What?

I'm a Mexican cop.

And I really want to help your mom, Alice. I do. And we don't have time.

I tracked down the place where the photo was taken.

But I'm not the only one who can do that, okay?

That's why I need you to help me find your mom.

I'll do everything in my power to get her home.

Alice.

She's not safe.

Do you understand what-- Ah, shit.

Amazing. Thanks, Alice.

Nico.

I need you to meet me back at the pet store right now. Hurry.

No she's there. They're covering for her.

Confirmed. I have eyes on the fugitive.

Awesome.

I'm on my way.

Hey, I could arrest her right now, no problem.

Hold on, Nico.

You know protocol says there has to be two of us.

Then hurry, Gloria.

We won't get another opportunity like this.

I'm almost there. Chill out.

Chill out, man.

Police!

Requesting for backup for an 11-7 at the pet store.

Three men abducted our suspect

in a blue Ford Transit with Arizona plates.

Goddamn it.

We've located the van.

They abandoned it at the Águila ring. We're sharing the location with you.

Be careful, okay?

Copy that.

Hey!

Hey! Dammit.

What am I supposed to do with the dog?

Terry? It's me.

Did you find it?

Yeah.

The notebook is too dangerous for you to have.

Or for me to have. Or anyone on my team.

I hid it.

You hid it?

Where no one will think to look.

In my parents' niche at Saint George's Church.

I can pay you more, I've got a lot of money.

Please. If you could just…

You know, you're just-- You're making a very big mistake here. I…

Dylan Moore, he's gonna go to jail.

-There it is. -Where?

Right there. The van.

This is Officers Bernal and Carvajal from International Liaisons.

We're at the location C-4 sent us. The suspects' van is on site.

Requesting backup.

Possible kidnapping in progress.

Please, you don't have to do--

You!

You scared of me now, bitch?

Quiet. Don't move.

Stay here.

You'll suffer ten times more than my brother did.

You scared of me now, bitch?

Go on, beg!

Take that shit out of her mouth, I wanna hear what she has to say.

I wanna hear you beg.

Fuck you!

No! Fuck you!

Kill her! Kill her now!

Police!

Police! Don't move! Drop it!

-Easy! On the ground! -Drop it, asshole. On the ground!

-Drop the gun! Drop your gun! -Drop it, asshole!

I got you.

It's okay, it's okay.

Hands behind your back. Now!

Nico.

Sir, are you okay?

I need to see you, it's important.

Meet me in two hours at La Libertad. I'll send you the location.

Yes, sir. I'll be there.

Alice.

-She's fine. She's fine. Okay? -Can I see her?

Yes, you can. Just in a moment, okay? They're just… checking.

-Thank you for looking after her. -Thank you for trusting in me.

What now?

Your mother is being prepared to be delivered… to the U.S. Marshals.

I also want you to know that the men that tried to kill her

are charged with kidnapping and attempted murder.

So…

We'll be forever in your debt.

Sweetheart.

-Mom. -Oh, God.

She needs to go. Please.

-It's uh… It's time to-- Yeah. -I'm sorry.

She has to go. Sorry.

I love you. It's okay.

Tell me you brought some beers, Temo.

IN MEMORY OF ABIGAIL ESPARZA REYES (1990-2025)
