LISBON

Where the fuck are they?

Fuck!

It's obvious, second lieutenant,

that Barreira was expecting this to go faster.

Well, I did too.

And, in any case, these images are not very clear.

- I couldn't say for sure that the man... - It's Barreira.

You know what, superintendent?

All in all, this is not a bad plan for a St. John's Eve.

Finally!

Hey, hey!

Here it is.

They're loading the truck.

Copy that, we await your orders.

As I said: if we see anything unusual we'll give you a call.

Go with him. Go!

Come on, let's go.

- Trick or treat? - Hey, calm down.

What's going on?

They came out of nowhere.

How many are there?

Three.

No, I count at least four.

Fuck... we're not prepared for this.

Get out of the fucking truck!

What are you looking at?

So what do we do?

Hey, Dani!

Follow them into the port and go to the cargo area.

Support team in place.

Get ready for an armed confrontation. We are on our way.

Stop! Don't move!

Fuck St. John's Eve.

Watch out!

He's getting away!

Hurry up!

Support team arriving at the port.

- It's the police! - Go, go!

Stop the car! Police! Stop the car!

Faster!

Shit, we're going to crash!

Son of a bitch.

Fuck!

Get in position!

Stop, police!

Stop or I'll shoot!

OPERACIÓN MAREA NEGRA (SILENT CARGO)

Fernando,

first I'll tell you about my situation, then we'll focus on yours.

Mine can be summed up...

in two parts:

Money lost

and money I can still lose.

Fentanyl.

You, Fernando, you offered yourself as a great broker.

You promised me

this was going to be a piece of cake.

But now you're coming to me with this.

I'm going to have no other choice than to go back to cocaine.

If you give me the rest of Sinaloa's money,

they'll do as if nothing had happened.

In the meantime I'll look for the truck,

retrieve it and park it myself in front of that door.

Who the fuck do you think...?

Go on.

It's not good to have the Mexicans

on my back while I find the truck.

Damn, it's hard to drive

while watching the rear-view mirror every second.

You must have balls of steel to ask something like that, Fernando,

things being as they are.

I appreciate your courage. I really do.

Truly.

But here...

Here...

I use the metaphors.

And my metaphor

is that I never

buy a house off-plan.

You have 48 hours to retrieve that fucking cargo.

Forty eight hours.

You pass?

How can you pass, Merino?

Oh, no.

- Get your head in the game. - I pass.

I'm focused.

It's great that you're focused.

Because I'm here to talk business, not to fucking play.

No one has told me when or how the Lisbon fentanyl is going to be moved.

There's no when or where, it won't be moved.

If we put it out on the market, they'll know within a day

- who's behind it. - What the fuck are you talking about?

We should turn the fentanyl into ashes.

Europe is putting pressure on their supplier,

and he promises not to let them down again.

He'll forget Barreira, who screwed up,

and will go back to Valdés' people.

The 30 % agreed upon is is guaranteed for life.

We have to think medium and long term.

30% of zero is zero, you idiots.

I didn't reach out to the Albanians to end up with a fentanyl bonfire.

We paid the Albanians. That's how good partnerships work,

some provide the means and others the money.

Good partnerships?

You're still keeping the name of Europe's gatekeeper to yourselves.

I told you about Carlitos Miranda. I didn't back out. That's respect.

You don't respect me, you fuck me.

Respect means nothing to you!

The Mexican got mad.

Is the partnership over?

Within these walls it's over.

Hey, burning the cargo was a joke, wasn't it?

Mexicans have have always lacked cunning.

Another round?

No, I'm going to get some rest.

Merino doesn't look good.

You were hasty, Dani. You should have been more cautious

and deployed a larger team.

No one could have foreseen what happened there.

The orders were to intercept the truck

and the shuttle at the destination, not to start a war.

Criminals stealing from criminals is nothing new.

If I had deployed an army and we hadn't moved on them,

you'd be chastising me for wasting resources.

Let's see if we understand each other.

The grounds for the operation was to catch Barreira in the act.

And now we have nothing against him.

Nothing, not even a hint to link him to the crime.

- We've got... - No, I mean solid hints.

The only thing I have been presented with are blurred images

of a guy in a hoodie.

It was Barreira, I know.

But I don't.

That's why I've asked for help. And it will arrive tomorrow, okay?

What kind of help?

Someone who knows how to look beyond the non-evidence.

Good afternoon, officers.

Wait...

THE TWO-HEADED EAGLE.

IS A SYMBOL PRESENT IN SEVERAL INDO-EUROPEAN CULTURES...

THE BYZANTINE EAGLE.

IT IS THE SYMBOL OF ALBANIA AND STANDS FOR WISDOM,

BOLDNESS, RESEARCH AND INGENUITY.

There's little more we can do with these images.

We have tried to clean them as much as possible, but nothing.

So... the port guard won't say a word.

He was bribed for sure. I think he's scared shitless.

And the dead?

Their criminal records almost broke down my computer.

They could have been working for Barreira or anyone else.

There are no fingerprints on the car, the famous cigarette butt

is nowhere to be found. As for our dear little friends

from the haunted house my money's on a subcontractor.

We can use informers to check if anyone knows anything.

Okay.

Remember that our objective is the assaulted, not the assailants.

Alright.

It's Barreira.

I'm sure.

Good night.

How's it going?

- How are you? Good evening. - We're closed

I just wanted to ask something.

I'm thinking of changing cars and I always wanted to have a Mercedes.

I love them.

I heard that Albania is the country with the most second-hand Mercedes

per capita. That's what they say.

Find yourself a dealership. This is a garage.

It's just that the ones in the dealership are way out of my budget.

Mili!

Everything OK?

Everything is alright, good evening.

Yes, he's leaving.

I pay quick and in cash.

I'm not a cop either.

Get out!

In case you hear of anyone who can help me, thank you.

Hey, motherfucker.

Do you know the difference between a monkey and the devil?

The monkey thinks: "They won't look for me here".

The devil asks himself: "Where does the monkey think he won't be found?

It's very unpleasant not to keep your appointments!

We froze our asses waiting on that river.

But then...

I heard about Lisbon.

I put two and two together

and here I am.

But you know what?

I don't give a fuck, asshole!

You have 24 hours to get my money back.

Or else it's going to get tough for you.

My buyer is reassured.

He knows I'll get his cargo back.

I'll do that and you'll get your money,

but I need more fucking time.

Of course you're going to, little Nando.

If I say jump, you jump.

But I'm not as patient as your fucking buyer.

Let that be clear.

That's a nice jacket.

But you know what?

Clothes don't make the man.

You'll always be...

the fucking errand boy.

Parentless!

Parentless!

Yes?

- They tell me you're looking for a car. - Yes, a Mercedes.

I am very interested.

I could have one in a couple of days, three at the most.

I need it today.

Can you hear me?

Rushing is not good for business. I think I'll pass.

Wait, you name the price.

I'll call you back in a couple of hours.

Agent Carmo is an attaché to the NCB of Interpol in Lisbon

and she's agreed to cooperate with us.

She arrested Barreira three years ago and led to his conviction.

I think her experience will be very useful to us in this case.

- You two knew each other, didn't you? - Yes.

We were classmates at the academy.

I think we saw each other last at graduation.

Does cooperating mean giving orders?

Cooperating means what it means, Dani.

I am not here to push anyone out.

I'm just here to help.

I think the important thing is to contribute.

The situation is not easy, we know that.

Too many deaths in recent months.

I think we can all agree that this situation is not normal.

That's right.

It's essential that all information flows

and that we know how to keep it. We need to be cautious.

There could be a mole anywhere.

Only working together can we change things.

- Dani. - What?

- What am I missing? - Nothing.

This Interpol thing is just for appearance's sake.

Marketing.

Everyone knows that the judge aspires to be a minister.

No, no...

Andrade knows that bringing together too many police forces

more often than not becomes an obstacle.

Dani, I'm not talking about Andrade. Barreira.

There are things here that you're not telling me.

Where does your obsession with this guy come?

Hey, are you going to trust me?

You know what?

You and I belong to different police forces.

I'm alone.

That's what a cop would say.

I'm not a cop and I'm fucking alone.

He would also say that.

If I were a cop, I'd be inciting you to commit a crime.

You wouldn't even go to court and I'd be in deep shit.

And the money?

I brought the 3000.

No.

I want five.

That was not what we agreed.

I told you that rushing is bad business.

In this case, for you.

OK.

OK.

Hey!

I'll take it.

Be my guest.

Fuck! 3000. Let's leave it at 3000.

Fuck your money.

I'm looking for a fellow countryman of yours.

He has a double-headed eagle tattooed on his neck,

- like the one on your flag. - I don't know!

You don't know? I'm gonna bust your ass right here, motherfucker.

Who the fuck is he?

There aren't so many fucking Albanians in Galicia.

Who the fuck is he? Who has the eagle tattooed on his neck?

Murat.

I think it's him.

Don't think! ¿Where is he?

Murat, yes, I'm sure.

It's Murat.

Where?

He works in a scrapyard.

Sometimes I buy spare parts from him.

I'll give you his address, but don't kill me.

Don't kill me.

It's ready, my love. I think it's ready.

Look how cool the tattoo is.

Now a unicorn.

Later.

Grandpa has something to do.

You're always saying that she doesn't know you.

It's business, daughter.

Eat a little more.

I don't want to.

Carlos Miranda.

That's right.

So, Boza?

Enjoying your leave?

Everyone is talking about Barreira's fuck-up.

I see that news travels fast.

This should be seen as an opportunity.

Look, Boza...

I'm a bit fed up with you Portuguese and Galicians.

The truth is, I don't know what I'm doing here

listening to your fucking ravings.

I understand your need for an incentive.

That's why I offer you...

Our commission would be much lower than that of Barreira.

Merino and I are getting old.

We are satisfied with the distribution in Portuguese and Spanish prisons.

Do you know that ambition diminishes greatly with age?

But that's a good thing, it also releases anxiety.

Beyond that, our past conflicts end here.

Including Gema.

And last but not least, we'll take care of Muro.

It doesn't seem that Muro brings much to the business.

And he's your competitor. We'll all be better off without him.

In return, you take care of Barreira and we'll have a deal.

We may have had our disagreements but we can mark an X.

An X?

It's a tie between us.

Hello.

I'm looking for Murat, do you know where he is?

He's over there.

OK, thank you.

- Where is it? - What?

Where is the fucking container?

I... no... I don't know.

Don't make me say it again. Where's the fucking container?

It's in an abandoned industrial park in As Chairas.

Which warehouse?

Next to the train tracks.

In As Chairas, we left it there.

If it's not there anymore... I don't know where it is.

Who hired you?

I don't know, really.

Merino? Boza?

Do these names ring a bell?

Or was it that son of a bitch Santaella?

I don't know these guys. I don't know them.

If they go after me, the first thing out of my mouth

will be your fucking name, you hear?

Coffee?

Black and no sugar.

And machine-brewed.

Alright.

What's with Barreira? Why does he make you so nervous?

They refilled the coffee machine this morning.

We have a lot left.

Andrade and I made a deal with him.

The judge signed his release in exchange for information.

Should we find out that Barreira has resumed trafficking,

it wouldd be a blow to her political aspirations.

For me it's personal.

Well.

We have no choice but to arrest him again.

I guess if you call at this hour it must be good news.

6:30.

Twenty-four hours. I have the truck with the cargo.

Don't play games with me.

I told you I wanted the money.

For that, I need a few more hours. I won't be able to see my contact

until noon. He sets the time.

Little Nando.

Here's what we're going to do.

Let's meet with your contact before the deal.

This way we make sure that everything is alright.

Who knows who might have touched my merchandise while you had it missing.

I'm not lying to you, Miranda.

I'm in front of the fucking truck.

It's not that I don't trust you. But a desperate piece of shit like you

will do anything to postpone the inevitable.

If all is well I'll give you those hours you ask for.

Understood?

OK.

OK.

Alright.

See you at 7:00 at the same place.

Fuck!

What's up, Nando?

Come closer, you pussy. Don't be shy.

I'll open the container and you check whatever you need to check.

No, little monkey.

I want us to do it together.

Give me the keys.

Come and get them.

Ay...

That fucking pride of yours, Nando.

Don't get all worked up.

Alright.

Let's go over there.

Shoot him, you bastards!

Shoot that fucker!

Kill that son of a bitch!

Come on, come on, he's slipping away!

Get in the car, you idiots. Get in the car!

Come on!

Come on, he's slipping away! Go!

Go, go!

Step on it! Catch that son of a bitch.

Fuck!

Fucking hell!

Over here, you fucker!

Step on it, he's slipping away Fuck!

Shoot, motherfucker!

Go, go, go!

Fucking hell!

Fucking Nando!

No!

No! Fuck!

Son of a bitch!

Keep your fucking eyes on the truck.

If he sticks his fucking head out, shoot it.

Boss, we must leave now.

That asshole is dead.

Son of a bitch!

Fuck!

Let's go.
