to a ------- A
merican prison,
I'll go get him myself.
I'll set fire to the prison and I'll get him out!
And then I'll go after you!
I'll find you and I'll cut your ----- off!
You know me.
My friend is someone very special.
You'd have to come blindfolded and alone.
Are you willing to do that?
I threatened Rosales so he'd put me in touch with you.
And I'm going to threaten you if you don't shut up
and do what I say.
But...
I see you're watching the news. I'll get to the point then.
Let my son go or I'll turn this country into a bloodbath.
Young master Casillas is going home.
What are you talking about?
What? He's being released?
What is this?
And then say I escaped? I'm here and I'm not leaving.
Those are the president's orders.
The president negotiates with drug lords
and does what he wants.
It seems everyone negotiates with the Lord of the Skies.
Even you.
I have an interesting gift for you.
-Yeah? -Yup!
I'll tell you about it later.
Javier isn't answering.
What if something happened to him?
Ruti, I don't think you have to worry about Javier.
It's happened before. I had to rescue him...
In the jungle, I know, but...
If it's not the jungle, it's the guerrilla,
or some bug, but there's always something.
An action like this comes at a grave political cost.
You released the son
of the biggest trafficker in the country.
The president has found himself in worse controversies
and his credibility is still intact.
This is the end of the road.
From now on, you're going to tell us what's happening here.
That's why we're here.
And FIY, I don't like shrimp aguachile.
What's up with you?
You've been showing up here lately.
And we'll continue to do so, to eat and ask you questions.
Does that bother you?
Of course.
You American cops think you can meddle everywhere
and yes, that does bother us.
Ask around if you don't believe me.
We're carrying out an investigation in the area
and we'll be coming in to eat regularly.
You're welcome here as patrons,
so long as you don't harass me with questions.
That's what we're like in the border.
We don't know anything and we haven't seen anything.
-It's better that way. -Sure it is.
But I think you knew something.
Otherwise, why would anyone shoot at the place?
Because I refused to pay the Rayados' protection money.
-You refused? -Uh-huh.
CASILLAS RANCH SAFE HOUSE
Hey, hey! He's home!
Hey, babe!
-Hey, sis! -Brother!
I'm so happy to have you back!
I'm thrilled. I thought I was toast.
Don't say that. Get us something to drink.
Sure.
Hey, cutie.
I was so scared. I didn't I'd see you again.
I've missed you both so much. We missed you too.
What would we do without you?
Call Tata. She was very worried about you.
Right.
Isma?
Hey, Mom, it's me. The one and only.
Honey, thank God you're alive!
You have no idea what I went through.
I was worse off, Mom.
The good thing is that I'm home, so you can relax.
Sweetie, you know I hate it when you tell me to relax.
This was torturous.
You have no idea what I went through.
When I see you next, I'm going to cut your kiwis off.
You threaten my kiwis more than anyone, Mom.
Sweetie, why don't you come here for a while?
Come over for a bit. Bring Laurita and Santita too.
Things are very calm here.
You'll be safe here, honey.
Come to Mom's.
Don't talk about El Milagrito. I'm sick of hearing about it.
What matters is that I'm home. I'll call you later.
Kisses. Bye.
I can't believe it! How are you, babe?
Fine.
Where are those beers?
What's going on, guys?
-Yeah! -Yeah.
Hand it over.
This isn't champagne!
So are we going to check on the guys?
Forget about checking on the guys.
You and I are going to our room with our baby.
Everything else can wait.
Yes, Laura! Very good!
She's right.
You need to be with her because she's missed you a lot.
What about you? How are you?
Hanging in there.
What matters is that you're back and that you're safe.
She misses Javier a lot, but she can't get a hold of him.
-You can talk about it later. -Let's go.
Okay.
Look who's back, honey!
Cheers to those of us who are alone!
Cheers, Ruti!
Alright, guys, stay focused and keep your eyes peeled.
The enemy could come at us at any moment now.
If you know how to move here, you're invisible.
This all looks familiar, doesn't it, Javier?
What can I say? All jungles look the same.
Some years ago, I'd patrol this area and command troops here.
Those were real military operations.
I don't know how many agents.
-It doesn't matter. -Have them go now.
Exactly.
Hello, Dalila. Is everything okay?
-Where'd you drop off Casillas? -I didn't drop him off anywhere.
He got out of the car at a light.
You wouldn't have been able to do much, anyway.
Did he say anything?
No, nothing.
Well, he badmouthed the US
and spoke highly of Mexico's president and authorities.
Obviously.
What I'd like to know is what we're going to do about Alfaro.
Alfaro isn't a problem.
What happened with Ismael Casillas
was a direct order from the president.
I don't mean this case, Manzano.
We have information that links Alfaro to acts of corruption.
What are we going to do about that?
Should I forget about the investigation?
Have I told you to forget about it?
I haven't.
-Are you sure you're okay? -No, I'm not okay.
None of this is okay.
We understand what you're going through,
but we can't turn Alfaro against us right now.
We can out him right now.
Alfaro is nothing but a useful fool.
I don't how much of a fool or how useful he is.
He's enriching himself.
Wow, Carlita! You're everywhere!
I go everywhere, sir.
I'd like for us to continue the interview
we started on the phone.
You're not going to believe this,
but I thought a lot about you last night.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I don't know, you were in my dreams.
Maybe it's because you're beautiful.
Are you flirting with me, Alfaro?
No, no, that'd be disrespectful to my predecessor Bernardo.
Right, you're so respectful.
So will you talk or will you keep covering
for your president?
Look...
Carla, stop playing dumb and don't assume I'm an idiot.
Of course I'm going to support the president.
He's my immediate superior.
Not doing so would be stupid of me, wouldn't it?
Well, let's do the interview and you can defend your stance.
Things are bound to change sooner or later
and the closer we are to characters like him,
the closer we'll be to what they do.
I'm sorry, but how is that conducive to a fair society?
Does anyone care about that?
Why don't you ask the president?
Ask him for an interview.
Believe me, I have,
but I'm not exactly his favorite person
so I was waitlisted.
That's not all I want to ask, though.
I'd also like to know about his continental policy,
what's going on in Europe...
You can ask him that, not this poor, humble civil servant.
You're not poor or humble, Alfaro.
Will you continue to support him
in his alleged fight against corruption?
Uzcategui, you really don't want to help yourself.
You're only dragging yourself down.
Look, please leave my office because I have a lot to do.
Are you upset?
But you love being in the limelight.
What part of get out of my office don't you understand?
Go talk to the Casillases.
You're friends with them. They can fill you in.
You've just told me everything I need to know.
So the Casillases are the ones threatening the president.
Get out of my office!
Okay.
I'm leaving.
My questions stand, though.
And one day you'll have to answer them.
CASILLAS RANCH SAFE HOUSE
I was really scared this time.
I was scared the gringos would take me
and that I'd never see you or my little girl again.
My feet felt unsteady
and I felt a pit in my stomach that ate at me.
I don't want to talk about it.
I would've done anything to spare you from that.
What if you stop working?
What if we focus on what I'm doing to launder money?
Babe, my dad needs me now more than ever.
Didn't he also want to retire?
And you believed him?
He said that, but this is a tough business.
It's a trap you can't escape.
Plus, can you picture me as Mr. Mom
while you bring home the bacon?
It's not a good look.
Think about it. It's not a bad idea.
I'd be very happy to have you around whenever I needed you.
Right, but let's not talk about that in front of this cutie.
We're talking about things that don't concern you, right?
Who's a stinky cutie?
"No, Dad, I'm not stinky. I smell nice, like jasmines."
Oh, sweetie.
So why are you so calm?
Because we worked out a deal.
They'll leave me alone after a one-time payment.
Remember how we ran to each other at the hospital?
Was it because of that DEA agent?
Is she your friend?
She asked three questions in no time at all.
Have our roles been reversed? What's with all the questions?
We're talking, aren't we?
Us regular, poor folks aren't in the loop.
You're so sweet. "Us poor folks."
You're not that poor, sweetheart.
How much do you charge those you help across the border?
We don't charge them for anything.
We give them food and water.
And as far as I know, that's not a crime, is it?
See? It's free.
Oh, oh!
-Here you are, boss. -Took you long enough.
I'm parched, damn it!
Have Chata return to the city
after he finds someone who'll look after Mecha.
As you wish, boss.
Chata has been working on that with Skinny and Greñas.
Things are fine now,
but if they get heated,
we don't know how the authorities will react.
They now look like fools because I got my son back.
You have one hour to release my son.
That's impossible. That...
Keep giving your morning conferences.
You'll probably be questioned a lot, which you don't like,
so what are you going to say?
"Aurelio made me president and now he's being a pain."
You heard what I said, mister.
You have one hour to release my son.
We need eyes and ears, Vitaminas.
We're working on it.
-Is there any other way? -No.
That's right.
---- yeah!
I don't care about the consequences.
Those who think communists are ignorant are foolish.
They use "equality for everyone"
as a means to take over the planet.
Is this what you wanted? Is this it?
You can't back down now.
I won't.
The tequila is starting to sit well with you, huh, boss?
It'll help you get over Mecha.
You've always been sharp and right about things.
You should learn from me.
Or would you rather see me suffer over a woman?
No way. You're the Lord of the Skies.
You don't suffer for anything or anyone.
That's right.
