If they ask why we're here, what do we say?

Leave that up to Toño.

WANTED! REWARD $5,000,000

Good morning.

IDs, please.

Open your trunk.

Jorge Ramos Pérez.

Why are you going to Guatemala?

To visit some friends in Barillas.

Welcome.

Thank you, officer.

WELCOME TO THE REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA

I feel the warmth from my boiling blood

I feel the fear, sweat dripping away

There's a stillness that nothing transmits

I'm a breeze that grows stronger

Even when the clouds drift away

Even when my skin dries away

I'll be back someday

To unleash my return

I have the dust that protects the road

I have the branches of a leafless tree

I'm the guardian of the tired night

There are silhouettes that come to meet me

Even when the clouds drift away

Even when my skin dries away

I'll be back someday

To unleash my return

Relax. Come on, drink one.

They're here, boss.

Bring me the check!

GUATEMALA CITY GUATEMALA

Hello.

Toño.

The man of the hour.

Be careful.

I don't want my fans to recognize me.

How's Guatemala treating you?

Let's see how it treats us.

HERRERÍAS' HOUSE GUATEMALA CITY

Up there.

That's Herrerías.

Your organization is the strongest around here.

And this will be my new operation center.

I want to be your partner.

HERRERÍAS DRUG LORD IN GUATEMALA

They warned me that you're really full of yourself.

You're fucked, Chapo.

You should be asking to be my employee, not my partner.

WANTED, JOAQUÍN GUZMÁN LOERA REWARD $5,000,000

Takes so little to scare you?

Don't try to convince me, Chapo.

You're up shit creek and you have nothing left to offer.

I have five tons of blow in El Salvador.

40% of the profit is yours.

That's over $40 million.

It's a good amount to start our partnership, right?

That's if you manage to bring it in.

It'll come in.

Seeing is believing.

I need you to gather me some people in El Salvador.

-When do you need them? -For tomorrow.

I need a big group.

But I don't want to draw attention at the border.

We have to smuggle that shipment no matter what, Toño.

The business with the Colombians is at stake.

Amado must already know.

I'm sure they are waiting for us to kill us.

We have no choice.

Either they kill us or we kill them.

I'm finally visiting another country.

I'll show you the whole damn world.

How many of them were there?

There were three Mexicans.

Two men and a young woman.

They drank some beers,

and then they left with some people who seemed from the military.

Did they mention where they were heading?

No.

Did you hear any names?

One of the men called the other one "boss".

Any other details that come to mind?

-No. -Look, Commander.

It has a hidden compartment.

-Please, go ahead. -Thank you.

We've got intel that El Chapo managed to cross the border to Guatemala.

He has to pick up five tons of cocaine in El Salvador.

That would be the biggest seizure made by the DEA in Central America.

They are aware that we need your help.

They are helping too.

We've only asked them to wait

until Chapo arrives to get his shipment...

and to turn him in eventually.

MEXICO CITY PRIVATE HANGAR

MEXICO CITY

OFFICE OF THE MEXICAN ATTORNEY-GENERAL

FILE

I didn't think you'd have the balls to get me this information.

I've risked everything on my part of this.

Now, it's your turn.

The men I sent will be on watch 24/7.

I need another favor.

I'm bringing my operations center over here.

But before that, I need to finish something in El Salvador.

We're here to help.

This is a bombshell, Saavedra.

Is your source trustworthy?

Yes.

I only need a witness's testimony.

Find one and we can move on.

What about the board? What will the board say at the meeting?

Leave them to me.

You find the witness, and I'll get you the authorization.

-Mrs. Magnolia? -Yes?

Nice to meet you. Gabriela Saavedra, from the El Global newspaper.

Some years ago, Ms. Márquez filed a complaint.

I only want to ask her some questions.

I'm sorry. She doesn't live here anymore.

I'm carrying out an investigation on General Blanco.

-I think-- -No.

-I would like to... Only--- -No, I'm not interested.

-If only you-- -I'm not interested.

CHIAPAS BORDER OF MEXICO-GUATEMALA

Like it?

It's beautiful.

I'll buy you a bigger one later.

Once I finish that business in El Salvador,

you'll know how it feels to live like a queen.

Hmm.

We're ready, boss.

Be careful.

Take this.

Make this house nice.

Chapo, Rosado is asking for more money.

He's never satisfied.

The price on your head is tempting for anyone.

Protecting you is expensive.

Give him what he's asking for.

Good luck.

-What do you think, Toño? -It's safe.

It may work.

How long does it take to get to the border?

About 40 minutes.

Do you know if he already got to El Salvador?

No, boss.

But we have people at the border.

They'll let us know as soon as he sets foot in there.

If they find him...

tell them to kill him.

And then they can let us know.

BORDER CHECKPOINT GUATEMALA -EL SALVADOR

IDs, please.

I'm going to check your trunk.

Why are you going to El Salvador?

To visit some friends in Barillas.

You may continue. Welcome to El Salvador.

PORT LA LIBERTAD EL SALVADOR

Welcome to El Salvador.

Thank you for coming.

Did you get what you needed?

I have all the pieces to start building the puzzle.

Great.

See you soon.

You are really brave for wanting to relive the past.

I was brave when I reported him to the district attorney's office.

But just as he'd warned me, it was useless.

Your story will be invaluable.

If I may, I'll record this.

I'm not afraid of him anymore.

At that time I was afraid. I was only 18 years old.

He threatened me to kill my family if I spoke.

Thank God, I had the support of my family.

I gave them the description, everything they needed,

but nothing happened.

That bastard never paid for what he did.

I have the men Rosado asked for.

The shipment is protected.

I need to know how many people are keeping watch.

This is the address.

And this is what we've agreed to pay you.

SAN LORENZO NEIGHBORHOOD SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR

CHAPO'S WAREHOUSE SAN LORENZO NEIGHBORHOOD

Do you know him?

Yes, he lives in the neighborhood.

I'll go fetch some empanadas. Do you want some?

We call it ají here.

We'll take the blow from here.

We'll take it to Cuba...

and then directly to Miami.

We have to make this route something big, Toño.

Do you think we'll go back to Mexico some day?

Do you want some sauce with that?

No, the gringos cannot eat spicy food.

I'll just put tomatoes, then.

-How many are there? -He just said they were gringos.

Tell me, kid, what did they buy?

Empanadas, no chili.

How many with no chili?

Eh... five.

The situation is worst than we thought.

The DEA is watching your shipment.

Are you 100% sure?

Yes, sir, there are at least five.

And I checked with my contact in Customs.

They entered through Mexico.

Damn it.

What do you want to do, boss?

Get your men ready.

I'm sorry, what?

Let's get the shipment.

But sir...

We can't go against the DEA.

You'll do as I say!

That's why I'm paying you, son of a bitch! Eh?

Get out of here.

We'll call you later.

I know we need that shipment,

but we can't mess with the DEA.

Remember what happened to Quintero and Neto

over the Kiki Camarena issue.

There's always a way, Toño.

Nobody believed in my tunnel, but there's always a way out.

Stop! Come on! Come on!

Secure the area!

It will be published tomorrow.

Thank you for coming.

I wanted to say goodbye personally.

Say goodbye?

I'm leaving Mexico as soon as possible.

Once your article appears in tomorrow's newspaper,

General Blanco won't stop until finding out

who leaked that information.

I won't say a word, you can rest assured.

I don't betray my sources.

I know that.

And I'm really thankful.

I'd like to ask you for a personal favor before leaving.

Mm-hmm?

Can you give me a copy of your article?

I'm afraid I won't have access to your newspaper after I'm gone.

And I wouldn't like to miss the chance to feel

the pleasure of reading the article that will finish the General.

Yes, sir.

I'll tell the boss.

This is all I could get for you.

I gave Lora all the instructions.

We'll have to give Herrerías all the money we have

so we can work for him.

It'd mean going back to square one, but if he takes us in,

we'll be protected by his organization.

If you want to go back to Mexico, you're free to do so.

I'll always have your back.

You managed to be at the top over there, and you'll do the same here.

Well, then...

Let's find another way to cross the border,

even if we have to become moles.

And I won't get into that trunk again.

Not even for 30 minutes.

Come on, let's go.

GUATEMALA CITY GUATEMALA

When do you want to meet Herrerías?

As soon as possible.

Things didn't go as planned in El Salvador.

They should have arrived already.

Finally.

What happened with the meeting?

It's settled.

Rosado and Herrerías will wait for you in the Panamericano Hotel.

Boss.

Thanks for everything, Lora.

I'm sorry I have to go, but I need to go back to Mexico.

Call me if you need anything.

We have 1.5 million.

What's with all the security?

PANAMERICANO HOTEL GUATEMALA CITY

You don't trust Herrerías?

Herrerías is like that when he leaves his house.

He demands extra security.

Go ahead.

Where's Herrerías?

He's not coming.

Let's do this the right way, Chapo. I don't want you to get hurt.

It's a shame that your business in El Salvador didn't work, but...

this is your new reality.

The price for your head is an opportunity we cannot miss.

If this is about money, let's talk about it.

I can be more generous than the government.

If you let me go, I'll give you 1.5 million.

500,000 more than the reward.

With that money you can retire.

Hey! Hey!

You fucking traitor! Son of a--!

I need to speak with the President.

From Lieutenant Rosado.

Good evening, Mr. President.

I'd like to inform you that we've captured El Chapo Guzmán.

Thank you very much, Mr. President.

We won't forget how helpful you were.

General Blanco will coordinate the operation.

I don't want any information leaked to the press.

I want the news to be out tomorrow, once I'm at the border with him.

All right, General.

Amado.

El Chapo was detained in Guatemala.

GENERAL BLANCO, THE PRESIDENT'S RIGHT HAND AND UNPUNISHED CRIMINAL

What's this?

I found it by chance.

My contact informs me that it will be published tomorrow.

We have some time to stop it.

Lucía, please, telephone the owner of the El Global newspaper.

Of course, sir.

Good job, Conrado.

You deserve a promotion.

Peralta, what's going on in your newspaper?

I've just read an article by Gabriela Saavedra.

What's that all about?

It's not important how I found out.

What's important here is the content of that article.

It's unacceptable.

Good morning.

MILITARY HEADQUARTERS GUATEMALA -MEXICO BORDER

Put those two in that truck.

El Chapo goes in my truck.

Let's go!

Rayito.

-What's up, buddy? -A toast to this great fucking life!

Here you are, Güero, take it. This is pure power.

This is freedom, Güero! Look!

This is great!

Keep playing, my friends!

Keep playing, man!

This is the real power.

This is freedom!
