THE ACERO DYNASTY
What is your name?
Vicenta, ma'am.
[¶¶¶]
I'm thrilled to learn you're Daniel's new girlfriend.
Aracely Paniagua, will you marry me?
Yes!
I know you don't know me, but I'm your mother.
I gave birth to you! It hurt by the way.
I've spent years looking for you.
I had this room made for you. Don't you like it?
You're the bait.
Know what bait is good for? Catching big fish.
Thanks to you, we're going to catch Chucho Casares.
What if I told you I know the name of Abelardo's father?
You know it?
Go.
THE ACERO DYNASTY
As of today, you're officially on my good side.
Thank you for helping me.
No, don't thank me.
Just stop it. Stop getting into trouble.
You're too old to be causing so much trouble.
It's been a while since I've been to your place.
You've never liked me visiting. Neither here nor in New York.
I still don't like it.
However, this is the last place they'd think to look for you.
An Immigration officer lives here after all.
There's a smaller chance of that happening,
but we can't get comfortable.
The Russians are stubborn.
I've been thinking of a plan to reinforce security.
Sanchez, I've had an emergency
and I need people to watch my place.
What happened, Cardenas? Is everything okay?
I've noticed strange vehicles and people moving in and out
and I don't know if it's connected to Indio's capture.
I'd like to foil their plans of retaliation for capturing him.
Very well. I'm at the office right now.
I'll get a group ready and send them to watch your place.
I'd like you to personally be in charge
because we're talking about my home, my safety.
I'm sorry, but I'm very busy with Indio Amaro's case.
We need to speed things up for the trial.
Are you questioning your boss' orders, Sanchez?
No, I'm not questioning you.
Don't worry. I'll head the team.
We're on our way.
Thank you, Sanchez.
Done.
Who's asking? An attorney or Jose Angel?
Tuti is full of surprises.
Many underestimate her, but she's full of surprises.
And she satisfies certain qualities,
an equilibrium I find so very important.
Only three things matter in this world, Jose Angel.
Money, power, and sex.
Tuti has money.
She inherited a fortune from her late husband
and I'm making sure it continues to grow.
Power. Money gives you power.
Money makes things happen.
That's how I got her son, for instance.
And the third thing...
I doubt I have to tell you what Tuti is like in bed.
Deep down we're not so different, you and I.
We like to do things right.
Pushing the limits of the law, like everything you do,
but legal nonetheless.
I think we could do great things together.
Listen, I know you want to screw over Doriga.
I can get to him, to the ranch, to Aracely and Elizabeth.
I know many things that could help you accomplish that goal.
There's a fourth thing I neglected to mention.
I like to work alone.
I've had that problem since I was a child.
I won't share my success with others.
I'm going to screw Doriga over on my own.
I'm very close to doing it too.
I'm no angel, but neither are you.
If we were, Rooster would have us on a pedestal
and we wouldn't be living like this.
What's wrong? Why are you laughing?
Have you finally snapped? You finally lost it.
No.
No, Deborah. Not at all.
I finally get it.
Yes, it's our fault.
It's our fault Erick treats us like s---.
I still don't get it.
It's just that... I finally get it.
I look at you and I see myself.
I've always put up with men's humiliation,
I viewed myself as less than others,
and I allowed myself to be treated like a maid.
I thought that I was worthless without a man by my side.
Well, that's true.
I can't picture myself without a man by my side.
No, Deborah! Don't you see?
I finally get it.
If you and I don't change,
Erick won't change.
Two are stronger than one.
No, no...
I'm not following and I don't want to.
I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't like it.
I want no part in it.
I think Erick needs to be taught a lesson.
The two of us, together...
No.
We're not a team, Josefina. Forget it.
I don't know what's happening in that head of yours, but...
Listen, I know you've been through a lot
and that maybe that messed you up forever.
I know what I want, though.
Rooster is my man.
He's the father of my son and I want to be his only wife.
Understood?
Gringo?
What time is it?
It's time for you to kiss me.
It's time!
Quit messing around.
Party time is over, man!
Can you hear that?
She's been up for a while.
Is she singing?
Yeah.
She hasn't been this happy in a long time.
If only she were able to stay like that forever.
Don't focus on that.
Focus on the present.
I know. You're right.
I'm leaving work early today so we can all go out.
I'm going to ask Pompeya to stay so she won't be alone.
I'd love to stay to help you, but I have work to do.
I have to return to Juarez
to meet up with a group of immigrants
that are waiting to cross.
I couldn't help you even if I wanted to, Coyote.
You're talking
to the new Chief of Immigration and Customs of El Paso.
Please address me in a respectful manner.
I can't be your accomplice for the time being.
Many people are watching me.
It's only temporary, though.
Fine.
It's morning, Chavita.
Know what that means?
We have to go home. I don't want to, though.
I'm going to be beaten for spending the night out.
Well, at least you have someone waiting for you back home.
I'm lonelier than ever.
Quit saying so much nonsense, man.
Aracely and Josefina are waiting for you to return.
I bet they're a bundle of nerves by now.
You're the apple of their eyes, kid.
Can you imagine what would happen if Aracely
or Josefina catch you with one of those girls?
They'd die!
No! That's enough, Rooster.
You know what I mean.
I want a faithful, loving woman
who'll be home waiting for me.
I don't know how many shots I've had,
but I still can't forget Rosario.
That's just it. You don't get it.
Tequila isn't a magical drink.
It makes you forget things for a while,
but when the sun rises it's all still there.
Look!
What is it?
Don't touch her!
I think she's dead.
Hold on. Don't touch her.
Many people die trying to cross this desert.
She moved!
Stay back.
She's alive! We need to get her out of here!
Help me out!
I'll get her shoes.
We need to take her to Ms. Berenice.
It's okay, honey. You'll be fine.
You know what?
Let's go to the American Dream.
I want to curse Rosario out. I want an explanation.
I want to know what I did wrong and how I let her down.
Take a swig.
Listen, we can do whatever you want,
but I need you to understand one thing.
The flesh is weak, son.
I know all about that. The flesh is weak.
Maybe Rosario was just doing what she was meant to do.
In other words, that chick was just a f---ing...
Hey, hey!
Hey!
Watch it!
I love that f---ing bitch regardless of what she's done.
I could really use Manuel's advice right now.
Damn it, Manuel.
You always knew just what to say when it came to women.
Well, tough luck. Manuel is gone.
I'm useless when it comes to women,
and my history proves it.
If I were a woman,
I'd have 15 kids from 15 different guys.
Take it easy, kid.
I mean it, Rooster.
I don't believe Rosario was unfaithful,
but the pictures Jose Angel showed me say otherwise.
Pictures?
What pictures are you talking about?
The pictures!
Pepe caught her in the act.
He has evidence proving she was unfaithful.
Oh, well. Cheers.
What?
You'll have to come after me like Roadrunner.
Are you going to leave on that note?
Why are you pouting?
What's wrong?
You have a job to do and so do I.
We can pretend we're a normal couple
and bury our heads in the sand, but that's not the case.
You're still an Immigration officer and I'm a coyote.
Yes, but I have a new perspective on the border
and it's all thanks to you.
I don't care about catching illegal immigrants.
I want to focus on the extortionists,
the arms deals, those who smuggle children
and drug dealers.
I focus on the lowest of the low that cross the desert.
I love you very much.
Really?
I only ask that you do one thing.
Don't put your job on the line because of me.
Focus on keeping Indio Amaro from getting away.
That guy has contacts everywhere.
I know what I'm talking about.
For starters, I love you too, honey.
Secondly, I know what I'm doing.
Trust me.
Indio won't get away.
Third, you're not leaving just yet.
I found my weapons.
I knew I had a couple of toys that could come in handy.
Look.
This is a gift.
You get it for being a member of our cartel.
You sure the Aceros won't find us here?
Nope.
Only Josefina got to stay in this dump
and she doesn't know how to get here.
I need a doctor.
I feel terrible.
This man is making me worse!
Hey, show some respect for Mr. Cristobal.
He's my go-to witchdoctor.
I need you healthy.
We'll need to be armed in order to rescue my daughter.
If we couldn't find them when there were more of us,
I doubt we'll be able to now.
What about the men you contacted?
They're on their way.
But they're not enough.
Have you heard from Fabrizio?
Did he call you?
That bastard vanished.
Who knows what rock he is hiding under?
Know what I think?
I think that Immigration bitch is helping him.
-Easy there... -Hang in there.
Where are you going?
Work.
I can't play nurse all day.
What if the Russians return?
You killed one of their men.
You don't know what they're like.
They'll look for me everywhere to finish what they started.
You heard when I requested to have someone watch this place.
That must be your nanny.
Boss. May I come in?
Of course. Come in.
Should I...?
What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?
What's wrong?
No...
