Original subtitles

The President is a hypocrite.

He condems the army

when there's evidence that he and General Mejía

supported Redwood Security Group,

a seed of one of the most powerful cartels in the country.

And now, thanks to the foolishness

of Diego's laws,

Mexico has closed its borders and has becomed isolated.

I ask you all...

Is there any country in history that prospered

under an isolationist system?

No!

If we keep on tolerating the current government,

we'll become that...

A failed state!

No!

My opponent, former General Raul Mejía,

abandoned his obligations with the army

and announced his candidacy.

I wonder... what for?

To create an extension for the government project of Diego Nava y Jose Barquet?

- Of Emilia Urquiza? - No!

We have to end this

before it's too late!

Thank you!

- Ofelia! Ofelia! - Thank you.

Great speech.

Thanks.

For anxiety?

My only anxiety

is caused by your sudden appearances, Ms. Wargas-West.

Would you mind, please?

One minute. No more.

Apparently, your husband doesn't like me.

Like me, he knows you are part of the problem.

What do you want, Ms. Vargas?

I know why you are here.

You want information about my campaign.

No.

In fact, I'm here because I know I'm the only one

who can take you to Los Pinos.

Excuse me?

I'm good at what I do, Ofelia.

I'm starting my career.

Even if it seems that my days at the presidency are numbered,

I'm not leaving.

Does Pepe know you are here talking to me?

I'm looking for a president.

That means you are either with me

or against me.

Ofelia.

I think we're finished here.

General Mejia's numbers are about to improve drastically.

How do you know?

Because in politics,

just like in the tides,

everything changes.

I hope you're ready for a storm.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

According to Ramon Castells' documents,

box number 08-0884

under Tomas Urquiza's name will be withdrawn tomorrow.

from the Commercial Bank of Mexico at 09:00 a.m.

Do we know what's inside that box?

According to my dad's letter, it has...

all the documents to protect his family.

Protecting Maria means defending her from that woman.

Okay.

So we're gonna rob a bank in a hurry

to get a box, without actually knowing its contents.

All right, let's do it.

The vault is always guarded by four gun toting men.

Just how you like it.

I can deactivate the alarms, but...

with the security system, things get a little bit...

Complicated.

I remember that bank is protected by a private security company.

When the security system is at risk, they send a backup tac team.

How much time do we have?

According to what it says here, nine minutes.

Okay.

So, we enter, and somehow,

we get rid of the guards.

How do we enter the vault?

I know the manager. His name is Eduardo Ruiz.

And the managers have keys to enter those places, right?

That's it.

If he cooperates, we get out of there and nobody gets hurt.

Nothing happened to him. It was just a scratch.

Look, we are about to do something very risky.

I don't have any other choice.

If I have to give my life for my daughter, I will.

But if you're hesitant...

We speak now or forever hold our peace.

How do we enter the loading dock?

Really?

Now I have to report to you?

How is it going with Ofelia?

I need to gain her trust

to get something more substantial.

What's our plan?

You know I don't have those answers.

Right now, we need to identify potential weaknesses in the candidates.

To find entries.

In the candidates?

And I need you to work fast.

I'm trying to take care of you.

After all these years...

Why start now?

You know that each of those years

I've been worried about you.

You know I care about you.

It's always been like that.

Let me do my fucking job.

How's our asset?

So many calls indicate that you wanna see me again.

I want to reiterate

how crucial it is that Ms. Vargas-West is ready for what's coming.

Maria, do you stil have doubts?

She killed Vazquez.

Now Barquet is passing Diego's laws

under her care. Your care.

Nobody saw it coming.

Like Emilia's escape.

I hope that your history with Ms. Vargas-West

is not blinding you.

Stop it, Kelly.

I need guarantees

that our asset is in shape

- for the elections. - She is.

Ana was the first one to know about Ofelia's candidacy.

Now, she is investigating.

And General Raul Mejia?

He's gaining momentum.

I'm monitoring him.

The elections will turn out to our advantage, Kelly.

As with Diego.

We had time then, time that you don't have now.

But I've got Ana and you've got me.

We'll do our job. I promise.

Keep an eye on your soldier.

Or I promise you

that her contract will be over.

Are you OK?

Did you imagine this?

Us getting ready to kidnap a man and rob a bank?

I don't like guns.

I learned to shoot because I had to.

My father forced me to learn how to shoot,

but I don't like it.

I'll do all this on one condition, Emilia.

You and Chela, both of you,

will wear bulletproof vests.

I don't want another dead man on my conscience. I can't.

Aren't you gonna wear one?

I have to wear a suit.

I will also do it on one condition.

I want...

I need you to be okay.

Nobody's gonna die.

The marked territories and the ones with bullets

are the territories taken by X-8.

And the ones that aren't?

Those are the idiots that didn't want to enter the unified plan on their own.

But patience has its limits, Zyanya.

How do you know there are no cameras here?

Closed transit circuit. There you see all the cameras in the city.

What?

Silence.

Eduardo, you're going to be OK.

Let's go.

General?

Miss Vargas,

call me Raul.

As you can see, I'm not wearing my uniform.

Congratulations, Raul.

Your opening speech was... daring.

Thank you very much.

You should get used to this place.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We should wait for the elections.

You believe in Emilia Urquiza's innocence, right?

I do.

It's just that a woman of her standing, falling victim of this rotten system...

It could happen to anybody.

That sounds like electoral gold.

Have you heard the speeches of the Head of State?

Straight for the jugular.

I suggest you do the same.

That's why I prepared this.

- Where did you get this? - That's my job.

No.

I want a clean campaign.

That means I won't bring old gossip to light.

Thanks.

Listen.

I'll speak your language so we understand each other better.

This is a battle, General.

The Head of State is using all her ammunition.

You still doubt about the strategy.

All I'm suggesting is that you should arrive armed to the battlefield

before it's too late.

It's that easy, asshole.

We kidnap you, you cooperate.

Everything's good,

you arrive home tonight.

Or you're an idiot, and then I kill your children and wife

in front of you.

And then I'll skin you.

Did you hear me, fucker?

Brother, do you copy?

Loud and clear.

Eduardo, nothing's gonna happen to you.

Just cooperate. Okay?

- Hello. - Good afternoon, Mr. Ruiz.

Engineer Cuevas comes to check the vault.

Okay, Sir.

Good afternoon.

I'm gonna hack it.

You've got nine minutes starting from now.

Son of a fucking bitch! Put it down, asshole.

Don't move, you son of a bitch!

Come on in.

Gun.

This way. Move it!

- Move. - Come on.

Eduardo, you stay here with me. Vault. Don't move.

Go inside.

Go over there.

Hurry up!

Hurry up, asshole!

Don't move!

Get inside, asshole!

- Box 0884. Come on! - Come on!

You've got five minutes, guys.

Chela, now's not the time to mess around.

Cool your jets.

We've got time.

Five minutes, guys.

Hurry!

Hang on, Ovni.

We've got the box.

We have four minutes left.

Come here.

Get out now! Now!

Is this alarmed?

- No, it isn't. - Are you sure?

He's lying.

Don't look at me like that. It's people like you

who make me do this. Open it.

Come on.

Guys, get out of there now.

Distress signal? No way.

No.

LOCKSOURCE PROTECTION BANK NETWORK

Goddam it!

Can you tell me what the fuck is going on?

They broke into the Commercial Bank. They're in the vault.

It's Emilia Urquiza.

This is weird. The signal does not come from the log source.

It's as if it came from another phone,

a private number.

No, but--

- I asked you, fucker. - No, no.

- Didn't I? - I swear it wasn't me.

- Didn't I? - This is internal.

Be grateful we're not thieves.

Otherwise, you'll be dead. Fucker!

We've got company. Get out.

Get out!

I'll guide you. Chela.

Go to the parking lot.

Chela, get out now. They're going in.

Move it!

They're right in front of you.

Fuck!

Emilia, to your left.

It's X-8! Let's go!

Open the fucken door!

Let's kill those bastards!

Go straight.

There!

Behind you!

They're in front of you.

In front of you.

Emilia!

Emilia!

Emilia, ¿estás bien? ¿Canek?

Listen to me. Try to breathe.

You're okay. You have a vest. Okay?

- Breathe. Let's go. - That door goes

to the main entrance. There's only one guard.

I'll be waiting in the parking lot with the car, OK?

- Ovni? - Yes?

I'll meet them at the door, OK?

Let's pick them up.

- How are you? - I'm okay.

Really?

Watch out!

Go!

Zyan! They're getting out the front door!

Fucking hell!

What happened, Zyan?

The relationship between Mexico and the United States

sits upon the edge of a knife

since the Free Trade Agreement's implementation.

Twenty four years of free trade

have brought about a dependence era

that has left us completely vulnerable

against America’s intervention.

Diego’s Laws...

are a decisive rejection to Mexican servility.

I, as president,

will keep to this new

and daring path.

Mexico won’t accept any more deaths!

My opponent...

My opponent, Ofelia Pereda...

thinks she knows

what’s best for this country.

But how will she lead us...

when there are things in her past

that threaten our moral fiber?

She can say this is long gone...

that it’s none of our business.

That it’s none of our business.

But when you are president

your business is people.

Bravo!

And if your husband

has been accused

of moving millions of pesos to different funds,

people have the right to know the truth!

We live in an era of deception.

I, as president,

promise you transparency.

I promise stability.

I promise you peace, justice and truth!

RAÚL MEJÍA STRENGTH FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Congratulations.

- Thank you for the help. - Well done.

I was losing them.

You should have started with the file.

Politics is not about principles or ideas.

This is a reality show.

If you don’t grab their attention, they change the channel.

Close your circle.

More. There.

There! Very good!

You know what?

I have something to show you.

Wanna go for a walk?

Enough of this.

So, my son took you hunting.

My father was a hunter.

I was five years old the first time he took me hunting.

A beautiful deer.

I can still remember her warm body,

her skin drenched in sweat.

And that body fighting, until the last second, to hold on to life.

Then, nothing.

Darkness.

This way.

Come on.

See there?

That’s the Australian death snake.

You’re feeling

millions of years of human evolution flowing through your body.

They scream: "Get out of here."

For good reason.

One bite is a death sentence.

We’ll capture it and return it to where it belongs.

You’ll do it.

Fear is useful for survival. But if you don’t face it, it defeats you.

Miss, Simon Chase is waiting for you in your office.

He said he has an appointment.

Is this how you win Ofelia’s trust?

I know what I’m doing.

Really?

Because that play...

was a bet you can’t afford to lose.

So?

What if I lose?

You disappoint me.

No.

I’m putting my relationship with Barquet at risk.

If he finds out that I’m manipulating him and Mejia,

and that I’m working for Ofelia, I could lose my place at Los Pinos.

What about you?

What are you risking?

Why don’t you tell me who or what has got you so scared?

Scared? Me?

- It’s Ofelia. - What is she saying?

That you can go to hell.

That I know perfectly well what I’m doing.

The death snake, unlike other snakes,

doesn’t hide when you move your hand closer.

Hold this.

Move very slowly.

Hold out your arm.

Your ability to rationalize fear,

distinguishes you from the beasts.

Let’s go.

Ofelia.

I’m so glad you called.

You didn’t leave me much choice.

What you did was morally reprehensible, cheap,

ruthless and inexcusable.

All the things I hate but need the most to get to Los Pinos.

I told you I’m really good at my job.

We only have to check Mejia’s numbers.

Seven points up.

Last time I checked, it was eight.

You are not married, right?

Marriage is really hard.

It forces you to be that someone for just one person.

A friend, counselor, lover.

I don’t know if humans are made for that.

At least, I am not.

I don’t want to be that person only for my husband.

I wanna be that person for the country.

That’s why I do what I do.

I wanna give love to Mexico, to make it prosper.

But I want to know, Anna, why you are doing it.

Why do you want to help me?

For the same reason I worked with President Nava,

and stayed with Barquet:

because I believe in and want a better Mexico.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t make it happen.

I’m sure you...

are the perfect woman for the job.

This morning, there was a robbery at the Commercial Bank of Mexico,

which up until now had been recognized as the safest bank in Latin America,

guarded by Locksource Protection Services.

Emilia Urquiza, you heard right, was identified as one of the three robbers

who infiltrated the bank’s fortress-like security,

and were captured by a security camera.

It is assumed that they took a substantial amount of money,

although the executives of the bank

are yet to issue an official statement regarding what was stolen,

or the motive of the robbery.

Mr. President.

I need you to organize an urgent meeting with the Security Cabinet.

Where are you?

I’m...

in the middle of something important with Simon Chase.

I’ll get rid of him and go straight to the office.

The head of National Intelligence has to send a detailed report...

of what was stolen from the vault.

And also a full list of everyone who has a security box there.

Pepe...

bank secrecy.

Don’t give me that, Anna.

It’s important, urgent and vital to know why Emilia Urquiza

went from being Mexico’s most wanted fugitive

to the most famous bank robber.

And what the fuck she took from there,

who was with her, where did they get the weapons...

We are already checking the surveillance cameras.

It’s a special vault to which certain clients

have access through the parking lot.

I need results right now, Anna.

The elections are close,

and Emilia Urquiza shouldn’t be a destabilizing factor.

I understand.

Canek.

What you did was very risky.

We could have died.

Canek?

Are you okay?

Something is wrong with you lately.

Are you okay?

I’m okay.

Come here.

The other day, you were talking in your sleep.

What did I say?

You apologized to La Mosca.

We work in concert.

We are like a symphony.

We work together to build a kind of monopoly...

Or cartel.

My love... no.

Life’s not like that, it has nuances.

Sí.

I handle a cartel,

but our vision goes beyond drug trafficking.

What we are after... Right, Simon?

...is stability.

- Whose stability? - Everyone’s!

It’s much better to have a group in command,

than many factions fighting each other like animals.

That’s right!

Cheers, Simon.

What is my role in all this?

Now we are talking.

They told me that you are a magician in politics,

and I believe it.

These two candidates, Raul and that hippie Ofelia,

aren’t pulling any punches.

They are neck-and-neck,

especially after some information came out.

Well done.

Give me five.

But it’s not enough, Miss Vargas-West.

We need more.

Like you did with Diego?

You want me to find their Achilles heel or to be it.

Right?

What for?

To manipulate or destroy their candidacies?

We’ll see what to do with it.

For now, make sure we have full control over the elections.

Understood?

In that case... a toast.

No, thanks.

Cheers.

What did you do to her?

What?

I took care of what you couldn’t do.

Maria!

Are you okay?

Yes, I’m okay. We hunted down the predator.

It’s a video file. It won’t take long.

This is it.

This is it.

Proof of your innocence.

Miss sexy.

Can I walk with you?

I won’t steal more than one or two minutes of your time.

You are already doing it.

Okay.

I just wanted to make sure that you never

forget that you owe me and my employers something really important.

And, if I’m not mistaken, we have the same bosses, right?

And what might that be?

Your life.

I’m the reason you’re still breathing.

I saved you from a sure and necessary death.

So, I wanted to double-check that a woman in your position,

such a fragile position,

has not forgotten it.

Do you think being the President’s right hand is a fragile position, Santiago?

I can’t understand

why our employers, as you call them,

have someone so--

Okay, I repeat.

This someone is the reason you’re still breathing.

And whenever the fuck I want,

I can make you pay.

Don’t you forget it.

I don’t understand why it bothers you so much

that I don’t know what to do with this.

Because that’s everything you need to get your life back.

What life?

Because my daughter is still kidnapped.

My husband was murdered.

All I knew about my family is a lie.

So, I don’t know what getting my life back means.

Nor if it’s something I want.

Actually...

why don’t you decide for me?

What should I do, Canek?

Go to the police?

Hand them the proof of my innocence,

and do nothing while Mrs. Crawford takes it out on my daughter?

Tell me what to do!

That thing is your fucking ticket out of here, right?

That’s what you want.

Did you hear that?

Huh?

Those two are not okay.

What?

What are you talking about, Chela? Go to sleep.

Tell her you don’t want her to leave.

- Tell her. - Fucking hell, Mosca.

Leave me alone. Leave me alone, Mosca.

Leave me alone, sis. Please!

Just leave, Mosca.
