THE ACERO DYNASTY
I did it.
No narco in this country makes a move without my say so.
Put your hands up and drop the weapon, Mr. President!
Smile for the camera... Mr. President.
You're here to explain how you obtained the footage
that incriminates Mr. Jones.
We're aware that your client didn't approve of its use.
Is that true or false?
Former President Heriberto Roca has been arrested.
We have evidence linking him to the drug trade
and the murder of the late PGE Chief, Eladio Puertas.
They think they've won the war, but they're wrong.
Let them savor their victory for a little bit.
[¶¶¶] THE ACERO DYNASTY
DAYS LATER
That's why I chose prison.
I knew my innocence would sooner or later come to light.
Many, many people turned their backs on me while I was away,
but my family was always there for me.
It's thanks to them I've returned with renewed energy.
I want my people in Matamoros to know that I'm back
and I'm going to win!
This is no place for delinquents, criminals,
narcos, or corrupt politicians!
Rooster is back! Thank you.
It seems his prison stint helped boost his popularity.
Now what, boss?
What are we going to do? What's next?
It's my move, Azuceno.
I am Death, after all.
Amaro, call the guy I told you about.
Right away, sir.
Sirs, I understand your skepticism
regarding the incriminating footage,
but we have plenty of other incriminatory evidence
against Mr. Gregory Jones.
His own wife accused him of rape,
so I demand that you remove that note from my file.
Counsel, please. Enough!
We're waiting on you to confess what you did.
Using evidence without your client's consent is a crime!
[Grabación]
Are you there, ma'am?
Yes. I saw everything.
This is just what I need to charge Jones
with rape and sexual harassment.
No! Please don't!
Greg isn't like that.
He's just drunk and acting stupid!
Please don't do this.
I'm being framed!
Where'd you get that?
Attorney Cuevas, you've not only obstructed justice,
but you have also been investigated
for your ties to the Acero-Quintanilla family
and your work with known coyote Vicenta Acero.
What?
Rooster Quintanilla was just released!
I've got nothing to do with them!
How'd Aida Franco return to the Jones ranch without a visa?
She was never paroled, either.
Did she cross illegally with Mrs. Acero, too?
Just stay calm.
You have no idea how poorly these immigrants are treated.
Counsel, you are under arrest.
What?
For perjury against the governor,
human trafficking,
suppression of evidence, and contempt of court!
Please.
No! You can't do this!
Okay, so according to the DEA report,
the cartels mark their territories with images.
Exactly, but the Tijuana Cartel
has always used a logo of sorts.
They've never used initials.
Well, the Cali Cartel does.
Yes, but that cartel disintegrated five years ago
after the death of their leader.
Briseida Montero.
Exactly.
-When was that? -Five years ago.
Perfect.
Can you zoom in on the initials, please?
Enlarge it and print a copy of it.
When that photo was taken,
her brother was in charge of the cartel.
Yes.
-What was his name? -Rodrigo Montero.
And when he died, his sister took over.
She works exactly the same way, right?
Yes, but what are you getting at?
Whoever M.R. is,
he's got the same habits as the Cali Cartel.
I'm absolutely certain that Indio Amaro's newest partner
is Colombian.
The president's out of the game...
but this game ain't over yet.
Don't worry, boss.
Those bastards can't even touch you.
Anyone linking us to Heriberto Roca needs to be wiped out.
We're on it, boss.
Taking out pawns.
We've no evidence that Indio Amaro
is shipping drugs from Colombia.
It'd be an unfounded accusation.
Isn't that evidence right there?
It's so obvious!
The drugs are made in Colombia, smuggled through Venezuela,
and shipped to Mexico.
Sanchez found this on Indira's computer.
It was there for a reason.
Look, Daniel.
You're so desperate to solve the case,
you're making connections where there aren't any.
The Cali Cartel disappeared five years ago
with the death of Briseida Montero.
Why would anyone want to come back after all these years?
I don't know, man!
That's what we're trying to find out, right?
Right, but neither Briseida nor her brother
have any living heirs that we know of.
It's all in the DEA report.
Why does it have to be an heir?
It could be anyone,
but it's definitely someone who knows how this business works
and how a cartel is managed.
It could also be a decoy,
as Ratface said during his interrogation.
That's far more plausible than any of this.
He actually worked for the cartel!
Say Indio did all this to throw us off.
What about the map, then?
Did that route never exist, then?
You know what?
Ever since we found this evidence,
the PGE reinforced security on the gulf.
In international waters.
It has yet to report any strange activity.
Could be another decoy.
What for?
To distract us?
Distract the authorities so you can work from somewhere else.
Exactly!
Indira knew from the beginning
and was directly involved in all this.
She knew she was being investigated,
so she put this there.
Then it's very clear.
We've gotta find that bitch. Indira will lead us to Indio.
Exactly.
-That's our lead! -Yeah.
File all that evidence.
Let's start a new file.
Okay.
-Let me know once it's ready. -Will do.
This is illegal! You can't do this!
Let her go!
Counsel, you are under arrest for said charges.
Take her away!
No! This isn't a trial!
You can't do this. I have a son!
I'm all he has! Please!
Can you pick him up at school?
Yeah, I'll get him. Don't worry.
Inform Romero of this.
I need his help. Anyone from White Flag.
Somebody help me, damn it!
Let me go!
I can't spend another minute here.
The governor's definitely exerting his influence.
I'm working on it, Frida.
I'm trying to find other cases like yours,
but we're up against a monster.
I know.
So how's Diego?
Is he okay? What'd you tell him?
He's alright.
I told him you had to travel because of an emergency case
and would be back soon.
I sure hope so, but I don't know.
I've never been apart from my son.
I always vacation with him
and even bring him out to eat with me!
This will all be over soon.
Please don't leave him alone for one second
and don't be late picking him up from school.
-Time's up. -I'm almost done.
Remember to sign his homework and tell him I love him.
Were you talking to my mom?
Why didn't you put her on?
I wanted to tell her I got an A+ on my science project.
That wasn't her.
I promise I'll put her on when she calls, okay?
I suppose you don't miss your underground suite.
No, sir.
I've learned my lesson... and thank you for the clothes.
Good.
So how can we smuggle the merch
without resorting to previously-used methods?
We've gotta be creative, Indira.
We can't smuggle them across checkpoints.
Things are too heated.
They're surveilling areas with drones,
especially after Ayala and me were caught.
Worse, Vicenta Acero and Phillips are to blame.
Mm-hm.
Tell me something I don't know, bitch.
The Gulf Cartel's tunnels.
They're located in an area that's less guarded,
although it's slightly more complicated terrain:
a desert.
This bitch is trying to trick us.
If we mess with those bastards, we'll never make it alive.
And I'm not saying that out of fear.
That's straight up survival.
The Gulf and Tijuana cartels
agreed to stay off each other's turf a long time ago.
Agreements change, Amaro.
Different market conditions.
Yes, but Amaro's right.
This could spark a war.
The Gulf Cartel disbanded from the Petates
for that very reason.
Because of their...
violent tendencies.
That's why they're a top priority at Homeland Security.
They're unpredictable.
You two idiots.
You're supposed to support me, not bring me down.
I'll mess with the Gulf Cartel any damn day.
Alright, boss.
If we're taking them on, I'll be the first to strike.
Those bastards are death, but I'm the Devil.
Any objections, cop?
No, sir.
I'll take you to the Gulf Cartel tunnels.
Perfect.
Listen up.
The Acero-Quintanillas must think they're at an advantage
since they brought down the president,
but I'm like a lizard.
I can reanimate... and come back stronger.
That being said,
we're going to hand out more groceries in all of Matamoros.
Bring your women!
Women? Seriously?
Chepina, please say something!
Seriously though, Rooster.
The children need schooling and supplies.
Totally.
It's time we take our marriage to the next level.
Now that Rooster's free and the president's behind bars,
why don't we go on our honeymoon?
About time.
I want grandchildren!
Give them time to practice first, Mrs. Victoria.
We've practiced plenty, Chepina.
My dad's numbers haven't been this high
since he launched his campaign!
You're going to be mayor, Dad!
Yeah, you're better off than when you had that campaign guru
Triple R working for you, may he rest in peace.
Yeah.
I'd like to thank all of you for helping free me.
But especially you, Chepina.
Thank you for keeping our family together,
even when those bastards tried to separate us.
Thank you, honey.
You know exactly what it'll take
for me to drop the charges.
Whoever messes with our family pays the price.
I'll toast to that.
Hell yeah.
Cheers.
A toast to the infamous Mayor Rooster!
To family!
And to the newlyweds!
They must all be celebrating Rooster's release.
What are you going to do to them?
Our present should be arriving soon.
Our disguises look so great!
I bet my own mother wouldn't even recognize me!
Did you bring the booze?
Rum, aguardiente.
It's right here.
That's my girl.
You know what?
Having Rooster out and free is one small step for man
and one giant leap for womankind!
Do I look good?
Gorgeous.
Yeah?
Starting today,
the Acero-Quintanillas will treat me with respect!
Duck!
A drive-by! ----!
You think it's Mr. Romero?
What the ----?
This can't be happening.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Bebote, Chava! Let's go!
Stay here.
Let's go!
Follow me!
What the hell was that?
Wait here.
Don't come outside.
What's your visual?
There's a white SUV parked outside.
Are they from the Tijuana Cartel?
Try to find out who it is.
Phillips.
What's that sign say?
It's a dead body.
"If you're wondering who 'M.R.' is, it's Indio Amaro,
but from now on it's Mister Rodriguez to you."
----.
Like I always say.
Things are never so bad they can't get worse.
