THE ACERO DYNASTY
The Aceros kidnapped my daughter.
The government's offering a million dollar reward
for information about these criminals.
The police are here! Let's go.
Her name's Vicenta Acero.
She's the new head of the Acero clan.
Don't touch me, you idiot!
Damn it, Chava!
The president has declared war on me and my family.
Not just the president.
Get out. Now!
THE ACERO DYNASTY
Get out!
I told you I'd capture you if you ever returned to El Paso.
I'm a woman of my word.
JUAREZ, MEXICO
As you might have noticed, you're not welcome here.
I've been in worse places, Mendoza.
You think I'm scared of these idiots?
Death has followed me ever since I can remember.
You've no idea the things I've gone through and had to do
just because I'm an Acero.
Your sentence would be long. You'd never be free again.
That why I think it'd be better if you talked.
If you tell me where to find your family,
there might be...
If you think I'll betray my family,
then you're stupider than I thought.
If that's why you brought me here,
take me back to my cell right now.
You have no idea the mess you're in right now.
The president declared war
on your family on national television.
There's no place in this country where you'll be able to hide.
You'll never have peace if you stay in Mexico.
Death has started breathing down your neck, Salvador.
You let her follow you, bro.
I didn't know, Daniel. How would I know?
What's this?
Are you working together to break the law?
You're under arrest, Phillips.
You're either obsessed with us
or you have nothing better to do with your time.
Think what you want, but I'm taking you in
whether you like or not.
That ain't how it works with me, sweetie.
So come on!
-What are you gonna do? -Baby!
Hey.
Indira... what are you doing?
Let Daniel go.
There are enough criminals...
You'd better just shut up right now.
You're in deep ---- for hiding a fugitive.
Oh, really? What are you going to do?
Accuse me of treason?
Get me fired? What?
Not just that, I can also accuse you of rape.
Look.
I have proof. This'll ruin your ------- life.
Juarez, Mexico
"Roscas, this is what happens to traitors."
Roscas...
My friend...
Roscas...
Roscas.
Roscas! Roscas!
Mexico-US Border (Near Rio Grande)
Here's where I'm keeping your playthings.
Each in their own little box to preserve them.
Domingo.
I'm glad you're alive.
Yes, I'm alive in spite of you.
The Aceros almost killed me to get me to confess.
I didn't tell them anything of course.
Good.
We're even then.
Because you owe me a lot more than I owe you.
Alright, I'll have some hibiscus tea sent
so you can have a lovely chat.
You and I have some things to discuss, Mario.
I'm helping you, but I don't see what's in it for me.
How much do you want to keep these two hidden here?
Well, I don't want money right now.
I'll acquire lots of it through other means.
What I need is to find the Aceros.
At this point, it's either them or me.
The north of Mexico's too small for us.
I think you can help me with that.
Daniel can't help you. He's a fugitive.
Governor Chucho Casares was no saint.
The evidence we found in his ranch
is enough to send anyone to prison for a long time.
That son of a bitch tortured my sister,
he practically killed my stepfather.
He deserved to die. You know that, Mendoza.
Yeah, but the governor and the president
belonged to the same party.
You know that if someone from the party goes down
in such a scandalous way...
it could bring down the president too
and that just wouldn't be right.
The government needs a scapegoat.
Someone to blame for Chucho Casares' death.
The nation's great hero murdered by drug traffickers.
-How's it going, Marcelo? -I'm good, Chava.
They've cleaned the wound and changed the bandages.
You'll be safe in this cell.
You two aren't just any prisoners.
You're Sara Aguilar's son and you're a former DEA agent.
That's right, Mendoza.
We've seen what happens to cops in this prison.
I can't stop thinking about our family, Chava.
I can't believe Mario Casas is such a coward
that he'd accuse you of kidnapping your own daughter.
Things are complicated this time.
We've got both the Devil and God betting against us.
My daughter's life is at risk.
Mine has been at risk all this time
since you abandoned me at the Aceros' ranch to save yourself.
When the ---- will you learn that a pawn sacrifices himself
for its king, you idiot!
I'm giving you a day to recover.
After, you're going to find the Aceros do or die.
Understood?
Huh?
Look.
Look who's back to life.
Pepito.
You look like ----, Pepito.
I'm the saint who made this miracle possible.
Listen to me.
This heart is beating thanks to me.
You... you saved me?
I don't understand anything.
I even dreamt I was in the same room with that bastard Indio.
Careful.
Sometimes dreams become a reality.
People can think whatever they want, Cardenas,
but you know you tampered with that evidence.
Do whatever you want.
A judge can decide that in court.
I don't mind.
This video shows you were harassing me.
Hey, Indira. Your problem's with me.
Here I am.
Our deal was you leaving him alone, right?
Daniel, what are you talking about?
You'll pay for this.
You've got a lot to pay for
and you'll have your reckoning.
You should be thankful I'm not arresting you right now.
Your government will see to that, though,
just like they did to your brother Salvador.
Salvador's not in prison!
Baby, go back to Mexico to your family.
Go help Salvador.
I'll be okay. I promise.
That's very romantic, but it's time to go.
Start walking, fool.
That's enough!
-Sanchez... -Get in.
Juarez, Mexico
No... You can't be gone...
What'd they do to you? Damn it!
------- it!
Let's go home.
Let's go back home, okay?
Honey... honey...
When the ---- are you going to get me out of this hellhole?
What the hell is this? We're ------ now!
Don't move.
What the hell is going on, Owl?
Shut up, Indio!
I think ----'s about to go down.
Don't move.
What's going on, Owl?
Keep still.
I know Mario like the back of my hand.
That bastard will take advantage of my situation
to take away my daughter.
And since I'm in here, there isn't much I can do.
This is unbelievable, Chava.
If Aracely were alive, this would've killed her.
Take it easy, Marcelo.
I swear I'll get you out of this pigsty.
Elizabeth won't live with Mario Casas.
It won't be easy for you two to get out.
The president's already keeping an eye
on anyone connected to your family.
How does that work, Mendoza?
How can the president accuse an entire family
of murdering one man?
As long as no one confesses, you will all remain suspects.
That's why they've offered a reward for each of you.
You want a confession? Then this stops right now.
There's no reason to reward or look for anyone.
You don't need proof when you have a confession.
I, Salvador Acero Aguilar, killed governor Chucho Casares.
Juarez, Mexico
Look, dude, try to understand me.
We need to leave this place. We're not safe.
We can't leave without Vicenta.
Besides, Salvador and Doriga are in prison.
We don't run and leave family behind.
What do you think I've been doing all night?
Counting sheep?
I was trying to find a way to break out Chava and Doriga.
But this place isn't safe! Don't you get it?
Rooster, Miguel's got a high fever.
We need a doctor.
----! Unbelievable!
Bebote!
-Yes, sir? -Find a doctor and hurry.
If anyone sees you, you're done here.
Not gonna happen.
I'll kill whoever recognizes me.
Alright.
Damn it!
What's up, Vicenta?
Rooster, is it true my brother's been arrested?
That's right.
Chava and Doriga were caught leaving the hotel.
How'd you find out?
Indira told me,
but the problem's that we're down someone else.
She arrested Daniel.
I don't know what the ---- we're going to do,
but this family's falling apart.
-What are you doing, Salvador? -Quiet, Marcelo.
I killed Jesus Casares.
After attacking him, I buried him in the desert
so coyotes and vultures would eat him alive.
Shut up, Chava!
Mendoza, this is illegal and you know it.
I want my lawyer present.
What the hell, man? You think this is Hollywood?
What part of "the president is breathing down my neck"
don't you get?
I acted on my own and without accomplices.
If your president wants a trophy, here I am.
I murdered the governor of Chihuahua.
Me, Sara Aguilar's son and Vicenta Acero Rigores' brother.
I plead guilty.
Is that enough to get you off of my family's back, Mendoza?
What are you going to do to me?
You handing me over to the boss?
That's not in your best interest.
I can tell them everything I know about you.
About me?
You've got nothing on me.
You, however...
the entire department knows you're a fugitive.
The most important fugitive in the entire US, apparently.
Don't you have real work to do?
You know, like bringing down cartels
or training personnel?
-When I led the department... -Oh, shut up.
Don't tell me how to do my job.
Of course not.
I don't know how to extort or traffic or lie,
so yeah, I can't teach you anything.
How long until your ties to Indio Amaro become news?
Huh?
You know the difference between you and me?
I'm a thinker.
I don't let my emotions make my decisions.
I think with my head...
Not with my groin.
You really think that?
Alright, I'll use my other head.
Know what I think?
You're pissed because I chose the Coyote and ignored you.
And since you don't like to lose, well...
Now, I won't lie to you, what happened between us...
Damn! It was really great.
I have to admit that. It really was.
But it was just that. Sex.
Nothing else.
Now, with Vicenta...
How can I explain it?
It's unconditional love. She's the love of my life.
I doubt you'll ever find anyone who'll love you like that.
You're going to kill me?
You wouldn't dare.
You don't know me.
You have no ------- idea who I am or what I'm capable of.
What's going on, Owl?
It's like a ------- oven in here!
Why the ---- did we stop?
Damn it! What's going on, Owl?
What now?
What the hell is going on here?
Is this the welcoming committee?
Who the hell are you?
You owe me an explanation!
Who are you? --- damn it, you -------------!
Let go of me, you bastards!
Who the hell are you?
You sons of bitches! What are you doing?
What the ---- is this? Who's your boss?
Keep walking.
What are you going to do?
Kill me? Please, Indira.
That's absurd.
Sanchez and Murillo know you captured me.
They think you're taking me to the agency.
-There are witnesses. -Shut up.
I'm not killing you. I'm not a criminal like you.
Are you going to deny you killed Chucho Casares?
You and your coyote kidnapped and murdered him.
Chucho Casares?
Oh, right!
The fugitive running from Mexican authorities.
Right...
He was being transferred
by Indira Cardenas in a very irregular fashion.
We don't know where they were going,
but it was someplace near the border.
How will that look on your report?
Who are you trying to fool?
Everyone will know you have ties to Indio Amaro.
Everyone's going to know you deliver migrants to him
so they can work for him.
You're the same. You're ------- degenerates...
What the ---- do you want? Huh?
You want to kill me? Go ahead!
Come on!
Kill me!
You have power and you have the job you wanted.
Doesn't that make you happy? What do you want?
You're the worst thing that's happened to me.
And the worst part is that you bring out the worst in me.
Oh, really?
It doesn't have to be that way. We don't have to be enemies.
You're on top, Indira. You're untouchable.
I'm not a threat to you... or am I?
Don't be ridiculous.
You think I'm stupid?
Are you going to answer that?
By the look on your face, it must be someone important.
What happened to my son?
