Original subtitles

Hands up, come on! Get off the car!

Hands up, hands up!

Freeze there, hands up!

Freeze!

What's up, Heriberto? What are you doing here?

Do you want your mum to kill me or what?

You either tell me where my son is

or you'll have to deal with me and my father.

Ximena, what's wrong?

I can pay you all the money you want,

so let's put an end to this.

The guards you gave me are rubbish.

I need them to help me find my sister.

You gave me the green light to work with Casillas.

Yes, but...

Well, the guy asked us

to kidnap that woman

so that he can rescue her and gain the trust of her brother.

Aurelio, Victor, welcome.

I need to talk to Guadalupe.

That's how things stand, Roxana.

I'll let you know when I know more.

The same to you.

Guadalupe.

I found out about what happened.

I'm very sorry.

You have my whole support

and I want to put my money for the purchase into this.

No, Aurelio, this is just between those guys and me.

Well, yes, Guadalupe, but this deal is for both of us.

I want to help.

This is not a deal, Aurelio, this is a threat.

When I find out who kidnapped my sister,

I'll kill him.

-Aurelio. -What's up, Cabo?

You don't look good, how's everything?

Things are getting more complicated.

That bastard Jairo Peña

who kidnapped Monica

said if we don't give him six packages

he'll make a deal directly with her.

Cabo, that cannot happen, under any circumstances,

no matter what.

SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO

I've been meaning to ask you, Norteño.

Is it true that Heriberto sneaked into Aurelio's plane?

You know I'd tell you if that wasn't the case, Cleto.

Well, you owe loyalty to Aurelio now.

No, you were my first boss, the one who rescued me from poverty.

Sometimes I remember all the work we did together, sir.

I get nostalgic. Those were good times.

Yes, but I'm retired now, so I don't have work for you

and Aurelio keeps you busy, doesn't he?

Let's just say you were more quiet.

Have you forgotten you sent us to hang people

-just by raising your eyebrow? -Those were the good days.

-Kid. -Excuse me.

Dad, I'll go out, I'll do some shopping and pick Rutila up from school.

Are you sure you won't go back to your house?

No. I'm serious about this. I'll be right back.

Guys, we need to calm down.

Those are wild, dangerous people, they could kill your sister.

Calm down? I want my sister free, now! Next time, I'll talk to them myself.

Cabo, do you know where these people operate?

-Don't get involved, Aurelio! -How can I not? You're not alone!

These bastards want more money

but won't guarantee they'll return Monica alive!

So what? You'll talk to them in person and then what?

-Will they be gentlemen with you? -What I suggest

is that we should find them, drop on them with full force

and get Monica back! What do you think?

Now go wash your hands before eating, okay?

Yes. Rosa!

I was just bringing you some mango with chile.

We won't have dinner for a while. But this is delicious.

What's wrong, mum?

What's wrong, mum? Are you okay?

Yes, honey, I'm fine.

PREGNANCY TEST

Do you have any suspects?

I know these are Jairo Peña's people. You know?

We can try to find them, but if they see us closing in,

they'll kill Monica.

Exactly, that's what I'm telling you. We need time to think about this.

Fine, but don't take too long. This is Monica Robles' life.

Guadalupe, this is up to you. We can get started if you want.

I don't know.

What he says is partly true.

Back in our country, that's how we solve things.

-Tell him, quick. -I'll think about it.

What do you think, Oscar?

Listen, Cabo, the Mexicans are right,

but I have a better idea, more convenient for you and me.

Another idea?

Let's do this.

-Chacorta, come here. -Wait up.

Don't do anything until I'm back.

What's up?

I just suggested we get Monica back by force.

It's the fairest thing we can do.

If we got her into this, we should get her out too.

Aurelio.

This isn't our turf, it could be dangerous.

We need to show them how powerful we are,

or they won't promote us past couriers.

I know you won't like what I'm about to say,

but do you really like Monica that much to risk your neck for her?

I'll pretend I didn't hear you, Chacorta.

Stand up, walk.

How much more are you going to wait?

Cut the crap, I told you I can pay my own ransom.

Shut up, or do you want us to hurt you?

I need to use the toilet.

Take her, watch her.

Boss, why did you take her blindfold off?

It doesn't matter anymore.

I don't like how quiet El Cabo and his people are.

They should have called us to say what happened with our money.

Who of Cadena's people can give us some intel?

We have Dobladillo, boss. He's quite efficient.

Call him, ask him how things are going down there.

Will do, boss.

What's up, Guadalupe?

I'm a family man, just like you, Aurelio.

My sister is all I have left, that's why I'm so concerned.

I really appreciate you wanting to rescue her.

Yes, Guadalupe, family is the most important thing,

your own people.

You know, I still think

you had something to do with my brother's death.

And I don't forget you tried to kill my family.

If that's the case, then we're even.

Guadalupe, if I made that suggestion

is because I want to make things right and keep doing business.

Fine, good.

If rescuing my brother is a way of rescuing my trust,

-let's do it then. -Let's do it.

But I really don't know...

What if you shoot my sister and me on the back,

if we can even rescue her?

You have no choice but to trust us and watch your back.

Well, yes, I do, there's your son. He should come with me.

He can be with me the whole time.

If anything happens, I'll make him pay. What do you think? Are you in?

-I'm in, Guadalupe. -Okay, then.

I like that.

Cabo, I was just thinking about you.

I'm in, I'm willing to get into the game.

-Only Aurelio needs to say yes now. -Let's do it.

You need to understand those guys won't respect even their mothers.

Yes, Cabo, but we're braver than they are

and if your people are behind us, they won't see us coming.

-They won't. -Sure.

MEXICO CITY

Ponte, are you all settled in?

Yes, sir, I found a hotel that's actually pretty good.

I'm glad. This is our headquarters, we coordinate all operations from here.

We have the database and all files here.

You'll find it all here.

-Good morning. -Colonel, I'm glad you're here.

Let me introduce you to Gregorio Ponte, from Sinaloa.

-He'll be joining my team. -Hello, sir, pleased to meet you.

Welcome to the team, Ponte.

Thank you. It's truly an honor working for you.

Your face rings a bell.

Well, you probably remember me from one of your visits to Sinaloa,

that's where I'm from.

Also, my mum used to work with one of your relatives

and I remember you well. I really admire you, sir.

Done, if that's your decision, we'll do it.

Oscar says we should use this house as our headquarter,

we'll keep the men and the guns here and get our attack ready.

Fine, then I'll make some calls to Mexico City

and then I'll be ready to join you.

Good.

You've been warned, Aurelio.

-Good. -Good.

Now that he's not here,

I'll give you a message from my boss.

He's proposing another option:

that we put on a show for Guadalupe.

Do you follow?

And then, negotiate again with the kidnappers.

Cabo, I don't get it. What kind of negotiation?

Brother, we should let them kill Monica.

We do the kidnapping, or the rescue, in the wrong place,

then Guadalupe won't walk on our deal.

What do you say? Should we let her get killed or not?

You know? If she's dead, one less problem for us.

Then, we can go on with the deal.

Let me tell you this:

this is all going wrong.

No, Cabo, it's not.

If it goes wrong, we'll put it right.

Don't get like that!

Will we let Jairo laugh at us, think he's smarter than us?

No, no, no. That's not it.

Then what is it? We need to prove him wrong!

Are we men or are we clowns!

It's not that, it's all about the money, man.

-We shouldn't risk so much. -That's not under discussion.

-We're doing this, that's it. -Okay.

-I'll tell Oscar, then. -Go do it.

So, what's up?

Are we going to get Monica out of there?

-Yes. -What about Heriberto?

He's coming with us too.

He can do it, he's all grown up.

SINALOA, NORTH OF MEXICO

Mum, why didn't you answer? Is something wrong?

No, honey, I was just a little upset in the stomach,

that's why I run to the bathroom.

-What's wrong? -Dad, my mum isn't well.

-What is it? -It's nothing, dad.

-Too much stress, that's all. -Are you sure?

Yes.

Well, I hope so.

Bye, sweetie.

CITY OF MEXICO

Welcome to the team, officer.

Thanks.

When Ponte is settled, come to my office, Mejia.

I need to talk to you.

Yes, sir, I will.

Sir, I'm sorry. Is the colonel mad about anything?

I think he didn't like me mentioning I already knew him.

Don't worry, Ponte. That's just how he is: dry and stern.

-Don't worry about it. -You can take that desk.

-See you later. -Yes, sir.

I'm ready, dad.

Like you taught me: the eye, the arm and the gun

-are the same thing. -Yes, son, but get ready.

It's not the same shooting at cans than at a moving target.

Remember, you don't have to shot where the moving target is,

but where it's going to be.

-Come on, then. -Yes, dad.

Godson, go and practice some shooting.

-Yes, godfather. -Go on.

Aurelio.

Don't screw it, don't get your son into this.

-This is not our turf. -I know Chacorta, don't worry.

This is just strategy. Heriberto is the condition

Guadalupe set to make the rescue happen.

He wants to have him nearby in case something goes wrong.

We should keep an eye on him.

Casillas is as stubborn as a mule, boss.

He says he's determined to do it.

We have to go and rescue that woman.

What did I tell you?

We shouldn't get involved, but now we have to do it,

because I need to finish this and send my coke to the States.

What a drag.

-What's up, my friends? -Hello.

-Have a seat. -Thanks, Cadena.

-A drink? -Yes, please.

So, Cadena, how many man can we have?

Don't worry, as many as you need.

Thanks, I also need a map of the city

and knowing how many vans and weapons we can use.

Also, do you know anyone at the phone company,

so we can tap into his phone and pinpoint Jairo's location?

Yes, of course. I can get you all this.

This is all so nice.

Cheers. Let's hope this works.

-You'll see it will. -Good luck for us.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Listen, Triste. Yes, listen.

I don't care now if the Japanese want to move millions of dollars,

their mother can launder them!

Stop bothering me with those things, okay?

What's up, Guadalupe?

I may have lost the biggest business deal of my life,

but I can't think about that right now.

When Monica is back, everything will be better.

I hope so, Chacorta.

She was the one who got me into this deal with you.

Without her, we're back at war and I kill your nephew.

Listen carefully.

Aurelio is doing everything in his power to save her, together with us.

As a guarantee, he's sending his son. What do you think?

Okay, so be it.

Maybe then I can stop thinking that you killed my brother.

MEXICO CITY

Come in.

Sir.

Have a seat, Mejia.

For our meeting tomorrow,

it's important to have a detailed report of all our arrests.

Sir, we need more trained officers, more weapons, more cars.

We could use this meeting with the President

to ask for a bigger budget. We have his full support, don't we?

Yes, and take care of those who want to screw with us.

The Secretary of Defense and the Intelligence Director

will also be there, Mejia.

That's the saddest part, don't you think so, colonel?

What?

The fact our work is so complicated.

We're not just fighting the drugs in the streets,

we're also fighting against our people, in government.

It's the fault of that cancer we call "corruption".

Anyway...

I'll get those figures for you, sir.

You won't catch me so easily, Mejia.

What's up, Letrudo? How's everything going?

;That's what I want to know.;;

Is that stuff you were bringing ready?

Things are getting complicated here.

Well, there was an upset here. Monica was kidnapped.

What? What kind of people let their guest be kidnapped

right in front of their faces?

I don't know why, Aurelio,

but whenever an upset happens, I think you have your hand in it.

Letrudo, don't you think I'm too old for your scolding?

You're always after me with that!

You lied to me once already when you killed Isidro Robles.

;Letrudo, so you know, I had Monica kidnapped;;

;to earn Guadalupe's trust.;;

But the guys who did it now turned on me

and are asking for a ransom. Are you going to pay that?

No, right? So don't get involved. That's why I'm telling you.

Listen, I've let you do as you please,

but everything has its limits, you hear me?

We'll have a serious talk when you return from Colombia!

Excuse me, colonel. I can let you finish that call.

No, that's fine, Marco. I was wrapping up.

Did you hear me, lieutenant? Just follow your orders.

We'll talk when you come back from the mission.

Delegating duties isn't easy, Mejia.

This is a lieutenant I know from our embassy in Colombia.

He's following some leads.

-Do you have those files? -Yes, of course. Here they are.

Eugenia.

Take a look.

That's the file that enabled the release of Aurelio Casillas.

It's a shining example of mistakes, contradictions,

inconsistencies.

I'm pretty sure that guy is sponsored by a very big fish.

-Hey, leave that. -Heriberto!

Come on, go out and get busy.

I'm glad you brought him, he should start being a man.

Right.

Aurelio.

I don't like Guadalupe's attitude. What do you want?

Should we break his nose before rescuing his sister?

We should keep him away from the phones,

in case the Jairo threatens us again with telling Monica the truth

when he's there. You take care of that, Chacorta.

Okay, I'll do it.

Done? Done.

-Well, we're on. -Good.

-Guadalupe! -Yes.

-I need a minute. -Yes.

What's up?

-Have you talked with your guy? -I'm on it, Jairo,

but we need to be patient. We can't show our game too much.

I'm not patient, we're settling this right now.

What's up, Cabo?

Hello, Jairo.

Do you think I'm the ugly girlfriend that'll wait around for you?

I want my money, right now!

Wait up, calm down, guy.

We've had some inconveniences here.

But we'll do right by you.

I want the money tomorrow.

If I don't have it, I'll negotiate directly with her.

She won't like to know you're behind all this.

Or I can hand her back chopped up in pieces.

No, Jairo, calm down.

Keep her talking. No, Cabo, we can't work like this.

This guy is smart.

We need a plan b.

Why don't we put surveillance on the areas they may keep Monica?

I know they're in the city, probably in the south,

because that's their area, that's where they deal, brother.

So let's send some people.

MEXICO CITY

On Saturday, we have the wedding of colonel Arispe's daughter.

I don't have time or interest in your social events.

Don't tell me now you're not going. Even the president will be there.

What's up, Daniel? Spill it already.

Mejia. I think Marco Mejia is starting to get suspicious.

About what? He has nothing to prove to you.

He could only find something in Tijuana

if he realized I interfered to corrupt Casillas' trial there.

I think you've already done too much for him.

It's time you sacrifice him.

What do you mean?

You know perfectly well what you have to do, please.

Do it!

Hello.

Yes, sir.

I want Casillas' file to vanish into thin air.

Let me see what I can do, sir.

No, don't see what you can do. Just do it, and now.

That's done.

I hope things don't get any more complicated.

When you're in trouble, do you think Casillas will lift a finger for you?

Daniel, please.

-What are they going to print, honey? -I don't know.

Even Linares is unsure about the can of worms it'd reveal.

Everything indicates Jimenez Arroyo is behind this.

Do you know what that means?

A man that high up in power playing both sides?

Everything adds up.

Jimenez Arroyo was the guy who apprehended Casillas,

and his collaborators wrote that error-riddled report.

-What are you going to do? -I don't know.

But this is something the president needs to know.

If Jimenez Arroyo is in bed with the drug lords,

he's the only one who can do something.

What if I ask him during our meeting tomorrow?

Would you be willing to investigate your own boss?

Don't you think it's dangerous?

If Jimenez Arroyo really is working with the Casillas,

they'll go against you.

Honey, that's not new. They're already against me.

Just be careful, honey.

If everyone's following into your boss' footsteps,

-you'll be the only one who loses. -Don't worry.

You know? I don't think it takes so long to trace those bastards.

-I'll see what they're up to. -Guadalupe!

Guadalupe, calm down, okay?

Let Aurelio work with the tech guy.

Or how do you think we started selling our coke?

By tapping into phones.

That's how you do this.

We know what we're doing.

Don't worry.

Guys,

I need you to get ready, we're going to a birthday party.

We're going to make some shots, okay?

So get together with the rest, get the guns ready and we're out.

But get dressed.

-We'll go when you're ready. -Let's go.

A call, a call.

-Cabo, over a minute, okay? -Yes.

Hello, Jairo.

What's up, Cabo? Are we doing this, yes or no?

Wait up, Jairo...

Cut the crap, Cabo, and pay attention.

You, on your own, will take the road down south,

and before getting to the end,

you'll find a gas station, on the right.

I want you to put the money in a plastic bag

-and drop it in a trash can. -No, no, Jairo.

How can you think of making me go all the way there?

I can't go with all that money and drop it in a trash can!

Think about it, man!

Two o'clock. Or you know what's going to happen.

-Keep him talking. Dude! -He hung up.

-Did we locate him? -Yes, sir.

He's in the industrial area

-Where is that? -Around here.

-This is it. -Good. Can you get there?

-Of course. -Perfect, let's go then.

Let's do it.

Thank you.

I want that memo I asked to be ready first thing tomorrow.

Sure, colonel.

Here's your coffee.

-One sugar? -Yes, as usual. Here.

-Anything else? -That's all.

-Excuse me. -Sure.

Officer, what's new?

I just vanished Casillas' file.

But they told me someone came a few days ago

and copied it.

Someone copied it? Do you know who it was?

I was told some Linares guy, a journalist, asked for it.

As you know, these files are public records,

;anyone can ask to see them.;;

Come on, kid. Wake up, already. We're going for a ride.

Now you'll see what's fun. You're coming with me.

Look, son.

I'm giving you this gun for protection

and so people would start respecting you.

I think it's time, son. Here. Be careful.

-Are you really taking me with you, dad? -Yes, kid.

Don't make me look bad, okay?

I don't want people saying Casillas' son is a coward.

I'm sorry to bother you, colonel, but we should be leaving

for our meeting with the president. Are you ready?

Are you sure you're taking Heriberto?

Yes, it's time for him to do what men do.

Chacorta, you take care of him. Keep an eye on him.

Well, my friends, time to rock and roll.

Let's go.

Done.

Where is this Dobladillo guy?

Where is he?

They're on to us, Jairo.

They found us! We have to go!

Let's get the girl.

Wait up, wait up.

-Cabo, tell me. -What?

Is this the right way? Are you sure?

Of course!

In two minutes, we'll find an unpaved road.

Okay? In two minutes the party is on.

There's no turning back now.

Let's go on, now, I'm on edge.

-Let's go! -Where are you taking me?

Shut up!

-Open up the door! -I told you I can pay!

That's Monica!

-Let's get back in. -Help me!

Start the car!

I need two man over there, two here, one in the front.

The rest, to the back!

If someone goes in, shoot them!

Let's go!

Move!

Everyone, go back!

Come on, let's go!

Help me!

Aurelio, down!

Give me your gun!

Let's go in!

Let's go, quick!

Run, come on!

I'm going in!

Wait, Guadalupe. We're all together in this.

Chacorta, for cover me!

Come on!

MEXICO CITY

In the last few months,

we've given some powerful blows to the drug cartels.

-Right. -So it's important

for the president to be aware of that.

-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon, mister president.

-Ramiro. -Cesar, how are you?

Fine, how are you?

-Marco. -Mister president.

-How are you? -Fine, thanks.

-How's your mum? -Fine, she sends her regards.

-That's good. -Thanks.

I have a book she'll like, they'll give it to you on your way out.

-Thank you, sir. -Good. Have a seat, please.

-Do you have something to drink? -Yes, thanks.

Thank you.

Good.

Well, we've all read this article, didn't we?

They are directly accusing officers of my government

-to be working with the cartels. -Yes.

That can't happen.

Mister president, I think we should issue a statement

denying those claims.

Yes, but those are just words.

We need to prove there's stability.

I want to see that with facts, with operations.

Let people see it directly,

not through the words of a statement.

We're working on that, mister president.

-Isn't that right, Marco? -Yes, sir. We're working on it.

This way, come this way!

Let's get in here.

Get out, now! Out, out!

-That's where they're keeping Monica! -I'll go get her!

Come here. It's a through-and-through.

Don't worry, you'll be fine, it's not serious.

Chacorta, Heriberto, cover for me!

-Let's go. -Let's go!

-Let's go in the back. -Help me!

Shut up! Come on!

Cease fire!

What's up, Cabo? Let's stop this and negotiate!

The time for negotiations is over, you fool!

Come on, run.

If you want to see blood, that's what you'll have.

I'm going to kill her right now. Cover for me!

Don't move!

Come on, freeze!

Chacorta! I'm covering for you!

I'm fine, uncle.

-Shall I cover for you? -No, I know this place.

Okay, go, then.

Monica!

It's okay. Don't worry, Monica.

Not so fast, Cabo.

Give me that.

You're getting me out of here.

We'll get you out of here and into the cemetery, you fool.

Didn't you hear me? Let's go, to the street.

You'll have to shoot me. You're dying today anyway.

I'm not playing.

You sold us just like you did ten years ago, when you sent me to jail.

-Do you know each other? -Do we?

If I told you about the deals we've made...

Stop it! Don't say nonsense!

Do you want to know how you got here, Monica?

What are you talking about? You guys kidnapped me!

On the next episode

That is the bastard who attacked us in the road.

What's going on with you?

I'm pregnant, dad.

The cartels working in our country are our target, we have to work in that.

When will the Casillas be in prison?

You have to give the president what he wants.

And before Aurelio gets rid of you,

you should get him out of the game.

Why were you following me?

I was following the lady.

I was the one who had your girlfriend and that other journalist followed.
