THE LORD OF THE SKIES
You're going to call Alfaro, you're going to make a scene,
and then you're going to get on TV.
I can't do that.
Let me handle the rest.
Aurelio, just picture it. I'm going to break.
People will watch me cry and that's terrible for my image.
No, that wouldn't be right.
No, you have to show your pain, you have to be a martyr.
You have to get people to believe you.
Make people think that you're mourning,
that Berenice's death broke you.
Okay.
I'll give it a try.
I'll try, I promise.
You can do it.
You know you can.
And if you fail, then we're done.
It's over.
What? What do you mean by that?
You die.
The headlines will be funny.
"Politician vanishes after working with Colombian narcos."
Is that what you want?
Of course not.
We'll do just great, you'll see.
What's up?
Sir, we got the job done, but we ran into some complications.
We got away, sir.
We'll be set after a few more. Don't get cocky and stay sharp.
Sir, there's something I'd like to tell you.
I'd like to join the search for Berenice.
I feel useless not doing anything for her.
You're doing more than you think.
If I needed you, I would've asked you to come here.
I'm handling that myself.
Focus on your assignment.
We'll be done after the next target.
I'll keep you posted.
Oh, oh!
I have an update.
It turns out that your romantic rival
wants to help in the search for your wife.
He's going to be a problem.
I have a question and I mean no insult by it.
Have you always been this shameless?
Is that a personality trait?
Yeah. I'm as shameless as you.
Jaime, how could you let your wife have a boyfriend?
Look, watch this.
Hey, babe. Do you miss me?
You're calling again?
I'm going to start to think you care about me.
Well, I do have someone protecting you.
Protecting me?
You should've consulted me first.
And since you're aware of everything I do,
what do you want now?
I want to help you, like I always do.
I'm going to give you another exclusive.
What kind of exclusive?
Jaime Rosales.
Yes, I know you don't like him,
but my niece, his wife, was kidnapped or killed.
What? What happened?
I want you to show Jaime on primetime
begging for the return of his wife.
Aurelio, it's not that simple.
I don't get a say in our programming.
Yes, I'm interested in this as news, but...
Do it or I'll give someone else the exclusive.
You decide.
No, don't. I'm interested.
Belen, the owner of the station, won't want to do it.
She stands to benefit the most from this.
Do I have to teach you journalism too, babe?
Belen has her own agenda. She has political aspirations.
Yes, I know she wants to run for president.
Don't ask how I know.
You never cease to amaze me. You know everything!
That's precisely why I have to negotiate this with Belen.
That's your problem.
Just make it happen.
Jaimito will be there soon.
Bye.
What do you make of that?
We need to get you clothes and give you another look.
You can't face the country looking like that.
Of course not.
That's what I like to hear.
That's the stuff.
Well, that's all.
Okay.
We're all set.
Ms. Wilson.
-Hello. -Amanda Wilson.
Nice to meet you.
Rebeca Williams. Charmed.
Are you the manager or owner?
No, I'm a partner.
Congratulations, by the way.
I saw you riding earlier and you're very good.
Thanks so much.
What can I say? I'm good with horses.
I participated in the equestrian World Cup
in 2014 and 2018 and I'm pretty good
in my chosen discipline.
Wow! We're pleased to have you then.
If you need anything, we're at your service.
-Lazaro, I can take over. -Excuse me.
I like the place.
It seems exclusive.
It is.
You could say that it's not for just anybody.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Would you mind if I bring a few of my horses here?
No, it's no problem at all.
Fill out the paperwork and I'll handle the rest.
Great.
It won't be easy to prove a fentanyl connection.
She's not linked to drug trafficking,
and she's done a great job
hiding her money laundering schemes.
Zuk, this is a surrealist country.
Truth and fiction are hard to distinguish.
I mean, narcos run the country.
You speak so highly of your country, Alfaro.
And you're the Secretary of National Security.
Zuk, I was in Chinatown when the massacre took place
and this woman was with the Casillases.
She's no angel.
She must have skeletons in her closet.
I still have much to teach you.
No, thank you. I don't want to learn from you.
Do you have what you need? Can we leave?
I have things to do.
Let's come up with a plan before you get swamped
with your many commitments, Busy Bee.
I think you're coming home with me.
50% of the money has been deposited in your account.
There's no need to do that.
It can stay in the joint account.
I don't know if I want to keep the company together.
Think of a plan for us to part ways and I'll hear you out.
Take as long as you need.
What are you talking about? Are you kicking me out?
What did you expect me to do?
Applaud what you've done?
You know me; I'm a man of principles.
Is loyalty to your friends not part of your principles?
Is your sense of righteousness only present
so you can walk over Corina's memory, Dalila or whoever
so you can feed your false sense of honesty?
Who do you take me for?
What are you accusing me of?
Of putting my values first? Well, I do.
Bernardo, we're police officers.
That means we're a little rotten ourselves.
We deal with the crap that lives in the souls
and hearts of people.
You know, this is more difficult than you think.
Maybe tomorrow I'll apologize and tell you I lied,
but for the time being, we should keep our distance.
Felina.
We have the first client of this new administration.
Let's hope they're all like her.
She wants us to house two of her horses.
That's great.
We'll use that to launder more money.
Felina, you know a lot about this business, don't you?
Rutila told me you have thoroughbred horses.
It's true.
Altagracia Sandoval and I have been partners for a while.
I told you that horses are synonymous with money.
And you're swaying me into coming to work with you.
All I need is for my sister to turn up.
She's very prissy, but I think she'd love it here.
She's a little crazy too, but I can take care of that.
I know how to deal with her.
No, I... I don't mind.
What matters is that we get more clients like this one.
I told you this was a good business
and we're almost ready for an amazing grand opening.
We have to dress Her Majesty too?
Try it on and see if it fits. Try it on.
It's fancier than your usual stuff.
He needs to look like a prince.
He can't show up on TV looking like that.
Do I really have to wear this?
You're going to wear whatever I say.
Besides, you'll look good in anything.
Have you handled security?
Yes.
Security?
I have my own bodyguards, from Quintana Roo.
I don't care.
You're going to do whatever Dad says, got it?
You can use your people, but my guys will be in charge.
Do you have a picture of Berenice he can take with him?
Greñas has a few.
Great.
Have one on your phone
so you can look at it while you give your statement.
Give it to Uzcategui, so she can air it on the show.
It'll tug at people's hearts and they'll cry.
Yes, yes, I got it, okay?
It won't be hard to tug at people's heartstrings.
Maybe then we'll find Berenice.
If this doesn't help us find her, then Cabo has her.
We need to be ready for anything.
We need to be ready.
Jaimito, call Alfaro.
Sure.
It's busy.
Call him again.
We need to keep at it until we get what we want.
Son, you're in charge. Keep an eye on him.
Got it.
Milton, it was a pleasure to meet you.
No, the pleasure was all mine, future Madam President.
I hope that the agreements we reached remain a secret.
Absolutely, ma'am.
I was never here.
If I ever run into you again, I'll reintroduce myself.
I won't speak a word of this.
And well... I'm at your service.
He's leaving.
Mr. Ricardo.
I didn't know you had guests.
This is my daughter. Let me introduce you.
-Pleasure to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
We're going to be working with them in the future.
Well, how about that!
Your taste in partners has improved greatly.
Nice to meet you.
Well, I look forward to that aguardiente.
Bye, Milton.
-Bye. -Bye.
What did you agree on?
I'll tell you later. What's the matter with you?
What?
Stop acting like a tramp with my guests.
Are you calling me a slut?
I had to take after you in some way.
