CHEMA
You know what we can do?
We can do business directly with the Colombians...
and leave Chema out.
I wanted you from the moment I saw you.
Now we have to seal this deal the right way.
Which one of your guys are we turning in?
Who else?
Chema Venegas.
Our son is in danger!
Chema may not be the ideal son...
but he's still my son!
Please, help me.
What's up, Chema? How's it going, brother?
Red told me you ran into some trouble with the gringos.
You know you can count on me.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
It just doesn't work that way.
Quit beating around the bush and tell me what you want from me.
Do you want to do business with us directly?
CHEMA
Well, business sense dictates
we should reduce the size of the production line
so the producer...
and the person receiving the product, the consumer,
can make a lot more money.
Of course.
I figured you had something like that in mind.
Very well, gentlemen.
What are you offering?
Well...
It's very simple.
You and your partner sent a shipment from your lab
to somewhere near the border.
Where will the shipment land?
A place called Puerto Peñasco.
It's very expensive to get the merch here from there.
That's close to Rosarito.
We could take speedboats from San Diego, California,
pick up the shipment at sea,
and bring it in.
Great!
That way, we take the Mexicans out of the equation.
We'll be done with them.
-Yes, yes! -No, no.
Hold up. That sounds great, but...
We can't get rid of Chema. He's our friend.
We can't spit on that.
Friendship is precious.
Oh, give me a break, Gary!
Let's hear him out. He's onto something.
I bring him the best coke...
Isn't that right, Leslie?
I don't know what'll happen next.
I don't know if things will work out or not
between Gary and Chema.
I just hope our businesses aren't affected.
It's very hot, huh?
Let's go for a swim. I'll loan you a swimsuit.
Sounds great!
Actually, I'm going to give you a swimsuit.
You have a great body. It'll look great on you.
Well, I'm not the only one.
In the meantime,
we should work on reinforcing...
the ties that unite us.
I wanted you from the moment I saw you.
Now we have to seal this deal the right way.
Those are not your average buildings.
They're laundromats.
The properties we just drove by are washing troughs.
Guess what detergent we use for these laundromats and troughs?
Merch.
Exactly, baby.
That's precisely why I brought you here.
I want you to help me finance a few changes in this city.
I want to tear down all those tacky-colored buildings
in order to build skyscrapers like the ones in New York City.
F--- me, damn it!
-What the f---? -F--- me!
What the f--- is this?
What the f--- is going on?
What the f--- is this?
Oh, Amanda.
Life would've been easier by your side.
Of course I'm upset, Amanda!
You're cutting our honeymoon short.
We're having fun!
No, you're having fun!
You spend your days drinking yourself into a stupor,
with strippers or gambling.
I don't.
We're leaving right now.
I'm done arguing about this.
I've paid our bill and I have our tickets.
Guess what?
We have to be at the airport in half and hour, babe.
If looks could kill, I'd be dead already.
I love you very much.
I love you, too.
But I really do want to kill you right now.
However, we both know I won't.
We should get back to reality
because this life of leisure is doing more harm then good.
Well, just answer this one question.
Are you thinking about leaving me?
If I were,
I would've taken off without buying you a plane ticket.
I spoke to your father.
You have to work.
You can't just drink and gamble all day.
Look after me.
Look after me, you bastard.
If you don't want our marriage to go up in flames,
you'd better look after me.
He's not answering.
Did you dial the right number?
Yes, I did! Do you think I'm an idiot?
Where could Chema be?
You know what?
Get back to the ranch.
These bastards can't know we know about their plans.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
You're right.
I think things are going to start happening soon.
How's it going, Ruben?
Everything's good, Bull. Don't worry.
Cool.
What did you run out of? Weed or coke?
Both, Bull.
That's what I like to hear.
Keep this up and I'll tell Chema you're great at your job.
What's up with Chema? We never see him anymore.
He's working elsewhere so you can keep doing your job.
Quit asking questions, will you?
Alright.
See you later.
How's it going, Colonel?
Are you throwing a party? Is that why everyone is here?
You're f---ed, punks.
Narvaez.
Is it a lot?
Look, Colonel!
They have more than enough to share.
How could you do this to us?
F--- you!
Don't you dare say a word about this!
Let's go.
Take them away!
Alright, Leslie. Don't let your mind wander.
Focus.
Tell me how we can improve our business.
Well, we think we can save a ton of money...
Listen to me, Mr. Oscar.
We just want to make sure
you'll supply us with more merch
because as you can see
there's a lot of demand.
He needs his own personal lab.
Don't worry about that.
We set up two new labs in Cauca. It's quite a sight!
We produce two tons per hour. Don't worry about the supply.
However, I really liked Leslie's speedboat idea.
If you can pull that off, it'd save us a lot of money.
Listen, Leslie was just talking out of his ass.
Come on. Look at us!
We don't have the manpower, the skill
or the know-how to set that up.
Isn't that right, Leslie?
But we could in the future.
Maybe if we used fishing boats or yachts.
I don't know yet.
Enough! Relax.
That's okay.
We'll continue to operate as we have so far.
Maybe somewhere down the line...
I really liked your idea.
-Do you have any food? -Yes.
Go ahead.
They need to hurry. I have to deliver this merch.
I can't be here come nightfall.
I hope the gringos won't sway Mr. Oscar.
Those sons of bitches could sell ice to an Eskimo.
Chill, Red.
Don't worry. The boss is on your side.
Relax.
Come on.
Alright, Red. We're done here.
-Let's get some grub. -Yeah, I'm starving.
-I can imagine. -No, no.
You're all invited to dinner at my house in Tucson.
I want to give you a warm welcome.
Is that okay?
Red, I know you have to deliver some merch.
We included a few extra bricks
so you could test it out.
That right there is top quality stuff, man.
Well, thanks.
Thank you, you know.
It's so good, it doesn't need to be advertised.
In fact, I think I'll keep it for personal use
and for special occasions.
Enjoy our product, Mr. Leslie. That's what it's for.
Let's go to Gary's to celebrate the arrival of the shipment.
-Sure. -Yeah, let's go to his place.
-Red? -Sir?
If you talk to Chema, tell him we're cool.
He knows what I mean.
-Yes, Mr. Oscar. -Okay.
And as they say,
Catch you later.
What is wrong with you? Can't you keep your mouth shut?
I thought you wanted to take Chema out of the equation!
This was a test, Leslie!
Great. Give me that!
As you can see, we're also fighting these bastards!
May I question them? Or would you like to do that?
Hold on a sec, Ponce. Where is that bastard?
There he is, Colonel.
Joaquin!
This man is an emissary of the federal government.
He's going to help us fight the cartels for a while.
Set an office up for him.
Yes, sir.
We'll transfer the detainees to a state prison
after they spend some time in our cells.
That's right.
They told us everything they knew.
What is it? Like what you see or something?
No, no.
I'm actually thrilled
that you've begun to make arrests after my arrival.
Listen, our job here is like a good meal.
If it's good, you won't hear a peep out of diners.
Isn't that right, Narvaez?
That's right.
We don't like to stand out around here.
I hope that's not what you're about.
It already happened to me, Red.
I watched them pull up just as I was leaving.
They arrested all of the guys who distribute Chema's merch.
What?
Hold up, man. That can't be happening.
Mr. Ricardo has Centeno under control.
He had.
You just heard what happened.
Hey, where is Chema?
I've been calling him non-stop, but he's not answering.
He's probably landing now. We're going to pick him up.
If you see him before I do,
tell him what's going on so he can settle things.
Things are getting heated.
You know what, Bull?
Get yourself over here, man.
Go through one of the tunnels and get to Tucson.
I think that's what Chema would want you to do.
I think so too.
Considered it done.
See you soon.
Things are going down in my hometown.
F---ing troublemakers!
Why can't they just let us work?
What's up, Godmother? I'm about to land.
What's up, Chema? That was a quick flight.
Do you miss me? I miss you a lot.
I'm glad you stopped by so we could get down to business.
Feel free to stop by once you have an answer to my question.
I don't have to think it over.
We're going to work together.
Well, aren't you a talented, good boy?
We're going to work together, but I have some rules.
I'm going to keep doing things my way.
We won't be sleeping together.
I don't want any trouble with you.
Does that work for you?
