Original subtitles

We know they're planning to throw the launch party tomorrow.

That's our chance to catch Conrad.

We want you to catch his eye and get him away from his guards.

And that's when we take over.

-Get off me! -Freeze. Let her go!

-You're under arrest. -I'm gonna kill you.

Yes or no. Did you take Temo's cell off his body when you found him dead?

No.

Ortega wants to screw us up.

Liam Taylor. Positive. Amphetamines.

Get out of here, Taylor.

We can't stop investigating, Nico.

I wanted to know if we could make what we have more serious.

I don't know.

I can't see myself with someone like my dad.

I need some time.

I found someone who might know something regarding the abuse.

His name is Yahir.

-You know where I could find him? -Where you going, Blondie?

-I entered Sánchez Taboada. -No way, Gloria. Hey, I'm coming!

I'm on my way.

Rambler Four-Ten, what's your TA at Sentinel State Prison?

This is Rambler Four-Ten. We're 30 minutes out, over.

Copy.

Whoa, whoa. Slow down.

Easy.

-Looks like they need some help. -No, no, no. Not so fast.

The hood's open. Should we go ask?

Let's find another way.

-Fuck! -What the fuck?

Twelve o'clock. Gun.

Rambler Four-Ten here. We're being ambushed.

We're two miles west of I20 East.

What are you doing? What the fuck are you doing?!

Alan!

Mr. King.

-Can we speed this up, please? -Gracias, amigo.

Let's move. Come on.

Welcome back Mr. Conrad.

Well done, my friend.

My pleasure.

-You're a free man. -Mr. King.

Forget about the last part?

Yeah.

Marco,pistola.

-Got a preference? -Just make it fast.

Three, two.

Fuck!

One.

You shot…

This is Rambler Four-Ten. Shots fired, we've got an officer down.

You're way too pretty to be a cop, I'm telling you the truth.

But you know the deal?

The fucking police don't come here, 'cause they wouldn't stand a chance.

Hey, look.

It's Nico.

Oh, he's says he's on the way.

Let that motherfucker come, and we'll give him a proper welcome.

Right, boys?

Fuck yeah!

I'm just looking for a guy named Yahir.

Who now?

Yahir.

Yahir?

Here's your fucking Yahir. Look.

Here it is.

Hey, who's this guy?

Look.

Who is he?

Oh, is he your son? Or what?

I'm talking! Hey!

Goddamn it!

Let's do this the easy way, okay?

Look, unlock this damn phone.

It's fine. It's fine, leave it. Let me see.

Holy fuck.

Hey.

How do you know Chendo?

How do you know him?

Answer me!

He's my son's father, but we're not together anymore.

-Release my partner! -Don't shoot.

I don't want any trouble, just let her go.

You must be Nico.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

We were waiting for you.

Let her go.

Want her?

Yeah, that's right.

Then go ahead.

Or you wanna stay?

You can stay if you want to.

Hey!

Here.

Get out of here, motherfuckers.

Let's go.

Hey!

Hold on. Your badge.

Get out of here!

You're lucky you know Chendo.

If I see you here again, I'll fuck both of you up, assholes!

Calm down, Chendo, we're fine. Nico and I are safe now.

His name is Yahir.

Right, I'll talk to you later. Yep. Thanks.

What were you thinking going alone to Sánchez Taboada?

I mean, come on.

I screwed up. I'm sorry, man, I…

I was told that I could find a guy here named Yahir,

and it looks like he was abused in Sueños sin Fronteras.

When you told me Silvia and María were safe,

I thought, "It's fine now" and…

So María called.

She said she and her mom want to get to the bottom of this.

No matter what.

Seriously?

Yes.

Does Chendo know these guys or what?

It turns out he saved one of those assholes' lives.

And he told me he would help me find Yahir, dude.

Hm. Nazario.

We thank you so much for being a part of this.

If I had told my dad

I was going to perform surgery at a free hospital,

I would've gotten the belt.

Happy to. Of course.

Hey, I don't wanna make this a quid pro quo,

because that's not what this is, right?

But… think you can help me out?

I'd like Joaquín to consider having me as a partner in the casino.

Ah, so you'll trade medical expertise for chips?

Well…

Did you meet with our gangster friends?

Yes, I did.

When the time comes,

they're gonna be in charge of all the drugs, the prostitution,

and in return, there will be no extortion, no violence, no kidnappings, nothing.

Nueva Tijuana is bulletproof, my friend.

Don't worry, buddy.

-I like bulletproof. -Yes, we do, huh? Enjoy.

And as many of you already know,

Joaquín and I

are like so many countless mothers, fathers and families

who have lost a loved one to senseless violence.

This hospital is a tribute to all of their memory.

And to that of our daughter, Mariana Meyer-Rodríguez.

FREE HOSPITAL MARIANA MEYER-RODRÍGUEZ

You didn't pass the test, Bernal.

Why?

For the same reason we've started an investigation

to rule out charges against you

for tampering with evidence in the case of Cuauhtémoc Lozano.

You stole his cellphone from the crime scene.

The GPS exposed you.

Consider yourself suspended. You're dismissed.

Hey!

Hey!

I order you to hand in your badge and your gun.

Attention, everyone.

Nicolás Bernal has been suspended

for obstruction of justice

and tampering with evidence in the case of Cuauhtémoc Lozano.

Hm?

We will determine the charges against him.

Later on, we will conduct a formal selection process

to determine who will replace him.

For now,

Gloria Carvajal, you're in command of the unit.

Let's get to work!

Who the hell do you think you are? Huh?

I know what you're doing, motherfucker.

Tampering with evidence is a crime, Nicolás.

These are just the consequences of your actions.

So do you seriously believe no one's going to ask

why you waited so long to check Temo's phone?

Look…

You have no idea who you're messing with.

I don't?

Of course I do.

I'm very aware of your plans, you piece of shit.

Go fuck yourselves.

GENERAL SECRETARIAT OF STATE SECURITY

-Nico's not picking up. -He's not even receiving my messages.

Yesterday, Archi. Today, Nico.

-What's next? You or me? What the fuck? -Okay, enough man, stop it. Hey.

Let's get to work, and call Nico and Archi in a while to see what we'll do.

That bastard's hell-bent on getting rid of all of us.

-We need to be smart. -Shall we start?

Jake Penson. Trafficking arms.

It doesn't look like they included his whole record.

This part is classified.

They must have made a deal with the DA to remove part of his record.

Do you remember, like in Operation Fast and Furious?

-I do. -What was it?

It was an ATF operation where they illegally sold guns to traffickers

in order to track them later.

So, what is he doing now?

It seems he was about to sell a shipment of weapons.

The sale was gonna happen here.

Here in Tijuas?

In fact, they had the arrest warrant, but they got there too late.

We have his border crossing on video.

Where's the shipment? On this side?

I guess so, because if they had seized it, it would appear in the records, right?

Cri, Beto, go look for an informant that can explain the weapons sale, okay?

I'll try to reach Nico, see if he picks up or…

We'll keep in touch.

Let us know if you hear from Nico. Everything's gonna be okay.

Call Archi to see how he's doing.

-The number you have dialed… -Shit.

What's up, Mr. Conrad?

Señor León.

Did you miss me?

I don't even miss my girl, you bastard.

-Nice shirt. -Hm.

Oh, wow.

This will cover you for the next three months.

You'll stay here until things cool off.

We will treat you very well.

I should mention we have another guest here.

There's a gringo who says he knows you very well.

Jake Penson.

He's got a massive weapons shipment.

We're figuring out what to do with it. We still need to find a buyer.

Tell me,

did you check on Charly Soto for me?

I'll call him now. Why don't you go and get comfortable?

Apparently, they're called "burritos"

because a man in Chihuahua used to sell them on hisburro.

-Really? -It's true.

Yes, it's true, really. That's why they're called burritos.

If he had been on acaballo, they'd be called caballitos.

Come on, no way.

-That's what they say. -Hm. Be right back.

-You sure, Mom? -Yes.

It's delicious.

Yeah, it was really good. I feel so full.

-Buenas dias, señora.How are you? -Come in, Chendo.

-Oh no. -'Sup, Dad!

What's up, buddy?

It's okay.

Uh, Emilio, Chendo. Chendo, Emilio.

What's up? Rosendo.

Nice to meet you. Emilio Alvarez.

Now what? Everything okay or…?

Yes, everything fine.

-Would you like something to eat? -No, thank you.

-I think, uh, I should go. -I…

Yeah, me too. I gotta get to work in a bit.

Señora, thank you for everything. It was nice to meet you.

-Ah! Thank you, Emilio. -Ismael.

-See you later. -Take care.

Adios, bonita.

-I'll call you. Love you. -Next time, I'll do my stingray machaca.

It's amazing, seriously.

If it exists.

Good luck. See you soon, Chendo.

Thanks.

Hey, are things serious with this burger flipper?

-Isma. -Let him laugh.

Enough.

Hey, Gloria, come on.

Just came to say

that in a while I'll receive the location where they found that kid, Yahir.

Thanks for the information, really.

But you could've told me over text. You didn't have to come.

I wanted to convince you to let me go with you.

Next time, I might not be able to get you out.

No, Chendo. I don't want anyone else involved.

Thanks for the location, really.

-I know how to deal with these guys. -I know you know that very well.

I already thanked you. That's it.

I just wanna help.Vamos, hijo.

Oh no.

Charly!

Come here, give me a hug, man.

Wow!

-So good to see you out! -Come here.

-Come here. -I'm pretty good, aren't I?

Don't think I forgot who brought that red fucking whore to me!

You fucked up bad, amigo! Never again!

Never.

I need you for an arms deal,comprende?

In fact, here comes our business now.

-Jake Penson! -What's up, Conrad?

How are you, my old friend?

I have the solution for your weapon business.

I can't move a finger without the cartel's permission.

Just so happens I have a buyer

who will take the whole shipment

all the way to Asia.

You and me,

we just have to cut the Mexicans in.

Salud.

A mezcal, please.

-You were messed up last night, hm? -Yeah, like that one girl.

Two more, please.

So, how are you?

María.

I know you think you'd be making the same mistake as your parents

if we were together.

But I promise it's all in your head.

If you really want to ruin a perfectly good thing,

just so you can prove to yourself

you knew how this would end the whole time, go ahead.

But I do love you a lot.

And I am here.

Take all the time you need, okay?

But please decide.

Hey, amigo!

I will fucking kill her!

He was a fucking traitor!

You're a danger to your colleagues.

I can't hear you!

As long as you don't deal with this, you're a risk to them.

Hey, man. Beto.

Sorry, man. I've been calling you.

Hey, what's up?

Any updates on the weapons sale?

No.

Still waiting.

Hey, have you talked to Archi? He's not picking up.

No, I got nothing. I don't know anything.

Left him a message, but hasn't called back.

Gloria was gonna stop by his place.

So how are you? How are you coping with your stuff?

Better.

-That's great. -Better.

Have you seen that doctor they got for you, the psychologist?

-My appointment's next week. -Cool.

Awesome, man. Okay, let's go.

Let's do this, man!

CLINICAL ANALYSIS LAB

Why aren't you answering your phone, dude? We've all been calling you.

I screwed up.

I did MDMA with a girl.

With who?

Doesn't matter.

But I did something stupid and it screwed up my entire fucking life.

We miss you a lot down there, man.

I miss you guys a lot too.

Hey, it's all gonna be okay. Promise.

We found this. Look.

We know we can file an appeal with these documents.

And you're gonna be back fast, man.

It'll be all right.

Thank you.

We'll be fine, buddy. Okay?

And don't take any drugs, please.

No.

Sorry.

I'm here, boss.

-Tell me. -Relax, I already fixed it.

The deal is already closed. The merchandise is clean.

No trackers. Garito checked them out.

Money is on its way here. Weapons have been sold.

Done deal, my friend.

You're a good man. I don't care what they say about you.

-Fuck yeah. -Whoo!

Now we celebrate.

Can you get candies?

And you make sure that bitch who betrayed us

gets herself an invitation.

I'll make sure she's here.

Well done.

Hi, Ema, this is Rosa.

Hey, you were requested for a party today.

They're paying double.

That sounds perfect. Text me the info.Gracias.

Hey, dude.

We have a tip about the arms deal.

Let's pay them a visit.

-Who? -Garo. Let's go.

What's up, Garito?

How are you, Garito?

Hello.

Where've you been? We heard, man.

You went on quite a ride.

Don't know what you're talking about.

What do you know about the arms deal? And I'm only gonna ask once.

Why? You wanna change those filthy weapons you have?

-This bastard. -Don't joke around, okay?

You're one phone call away from jail, you moron.

Listen. Man, we just wanna find the damn gringo who brought the shipment.

Look, we don't give a damn about your clients,

but if Penson's men find out you're an informant…

Come on, you know how they get

when they find out someone ratted 'em out, don't you?

-Okay, the sale happened. -Go on.

I just helped them make sure the weapons didn't come with any trackers.

What else?

They're celebrating at a ranch.

And where is the ranch?

I don't know what to say, Nico.

Going against the secretary of security is insane.

And they can charge you for carrying a weapon while suspended, you know.

Yeah, but if they killed Temo, something has to be done about it.

I can't do anything without evidence, Nico.

-Hey. -I know where to find Yahir.

Talk to me, Cri.

We know Jake Penson already sold the guns.

He's having a party to celebrate the deal.

This is our chance to catch him. We have the location.

It's a ranch on the Tijuana-Rosarito highway.

Okay.

Just be very careful, man,

because it's really, really dangerous down there.

Keep us posted, okay? Everything. If you locate him, if you see him, please.

Copy, boss.

We'll keep you posted.

Okay, copy.

Look, dude. This is Yahir.

The photo is from years ago.

They say he doesn't look good these days, but…

-Should we go, or what? -Let's go.

Pure hearts

You know I'm a good girl…

Mr. Conrad, great party, sir.

You know I'm a good girl

You know I'm a good girl

Pure heart

You know I'm a good girl

-Hello. -Archi.

Listen, I don't have much time.

I'm at a party, but the atmosphere is weird.

There's lots of armed guys. I need you to come pick me up.

Hey, what are you talking about? Send me your live location.

I can't, they took our all of our phones.

-I'm calling you from a spare one. -Where are you?

We took the highway to Rosarito,

and then a bit past that is a dam, there's a gas station.

And then we turn left, and there it is.

Archi, it's very important. He's here. Conrad.

What do you mean, Conrad?

Ema!

This is the place. Let's go.

Nico.

You can't be serious.

Come on.

-Let's go, then. -I'm right behind you.

Do you know where we can find Yahir?

Charly, please, help me, man. Help me out!

This man is gonna kill me.

Please, help me.

Listen, this is what you get for talking to your stupid cop friends.

If you cooperate, they will help you.

You have to help me. They're only interested in Conrad.

Please, no.

-I'll go this way. -Okay.

No way. No way.

What is it?

Not sure if it's him.

-No. -Nico, Nico, Nico.

Yes, that could be.

Hey… buddy, you okay?

-Oh my God. -It's okay.

-Hey, what's your buddy's name? -Yahir.

Yahir.

-Hey, Yahir. Hey, buddy. -Yahir.

-Hey, buddy, hey. -Hey, man.

-He's out. -No, no, no.

Let's move him.

Come on, dude.

One, two, three.

-Oh, Nico. Okay, you got him? -Yes.

I think I know you.

Wait, wait, wait.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Let's get the hell out of here, Nico.

Let's take him to my place. It's closer.

Charly, please.

I wanna dance this… real slow.

Stop.

Here. Here.

There are two guards, and they're armed.

It's Archi.

What's up? Everything okay?

Beto! Hey, Ema called. She's at a party near the dam, okay?

She said she saw Conrad!

Are you sure about this, man? What do you mean, Conrad?

She told me she saw him.

-She called me, but she hung up. -Did you say near the dam?

On the highway to Rosarito.

She saw him there.

Hey, that's Charly Soto.

Oh, goddamn it.

If Charly Soto is here, so is Conrad.

You have to take Ema out of there!

We're going in. Camila, go back to the car.

Ask for backup from the National Guard and the state.

-Be careful, okay? Stay alert. -Yeah.

Thanks, Camila.

Yeah, yeah, I got him.

Okay, we're almost there.

You go first.

One step up.

Oh God!

-You'll be okay. Easy, Yahir. -You okay?

You're okay, dude. You're okay. You're okay now.

You'll be okay, just breathe.

Just breathe.

It's gonna be okay, It'll pass.

Just breathe.

Who are you, and what the fuck do you want?

It's a shame that you're making me mess up such a pretty face.

Why did you do it? Hm?

It's time, man.

The two bodyguards are alone. Are you ready?

Charly told me you were friends with that girl…

who tragically died in my bathroom at the hotel.

Another bitch like you. What was her name?

Was it revenge?

'Cause I understand that.

That's right.

What's going on?

On the floor! On the floor!

Don't move! On the floor!

-Get down! -Beto! Beto!

On the floor!

Police, get down!

Let's go, Charly.

Jake Penson, you're under arrest. Don't fucking move! I got him.

Where is Conrad?!

On your knees!

Where is Conrad?

You're under arrest. Don't move.

-Don't move! -Easy, man.

-Don't move! Police, don't move! -Don't shoot, please.

We're not moving.

Don't move!

Conrad! Turn yourself in, you're surrounded.

-Please. -That's it.

A little closer.

Put down your weapon!

Now!

I'm not here to negotiate, assholes.

I want you to watch this.

Put it down!

Look, Yahir.

We want to know what happened at Sueños sin Fronteras.

We're police, and we're building a case against them.

It's okay, we're just trying to help.

Your testimony could help us take them down.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

I'm here.

What are you doing?

Let go.

No, man.

Please, come on, take it.

Leave the scene. Now.

Please, we need your help.

We don't want this to keep happening, especially not with kids.

They said…

They said I had supposedly been adopted by some fucking gringos.

But they locked me inside.

There were more kids there, some too fucked up already.

They took us to houses,

fiestas.

They did whatever they wanted.

Do you recall who brought you to the U.S.?

A priest.

His name was Jerry or Terry.

Did Father Murphy know about this?

Not only did he know,

it was him.

I was chosen, and he sent me there.

Father Murphy was the one who chose us.
