CHEMA
I heard about an interesting meeting taking place,
so I thought I'd come check it out.
So you came here to sniff around.
I sure did.
Also because I damn well feel like it.
Care to introduce me to your friend or business partner?
Sure.
This is Ricardo Almenar Paiva.
I've heard a lot about you.
Good, because I've never heard about you.
Welcome.
I'll give you a tour of the facilities.
They're very nice.
The only thing I'll ask is that you leave your dogs out here,
that is unless you have a search warrant.
Not at the moment.
Then at the moment, you're cool with me.
Follow me.
If you will.
These are the stables. They're up and running.
The stud farm is over there. This way.
It's not necessary. Everything looks nice.
I'm guessing the stud farm does too.
There's one thing I don't understand though.
What don't you understand?
How do you make all those millions?
I doubt this is it.
What are you talking about, Colonel?
Our horses aren't cheap.
You said millions. Stop exaggerating.
Oh! I understand now.
The colonel is envious and wants a slice.
This is all legit.
Plus, we have a law in this country
that protects racetracks.
I'm not envious nor do I want a slice or any of that crap.
If you want to continue stealing money from people,
that's your problem.
All I want to know is what kind of business
is bringing you in millions of dollars.
Not pesos, dollars.
Gary?
Hi.
Everything's fine. Don't worry.
And all thanks to you.
See? This is why we're together.
How'd you find out? Did Torres tell you?
Who else?
Then you'll have to thank that son of a bitch some how.
Anyway, I don't know what happened,
but things got complicated all of a sudden.
Things got out of control
and we had to leave out the back door.
There were so many cars.
It looked like a military operation.
It was crazy!
Anyway, it looks like we were able to get away.
We're meeting with Almenar Paiva tonight at his ranch.
We're here now.
I'll give you the number later.
Okay, but please be careful.
I don't like what's going on with that bastard Torres.
He actually had to guts to tell me we should get rid of you.
Listen, you continue playing along.
In the end, he's the one you and me will have to get rid of,
so let him be happy for a little while.
What are you talking about? What business?
You can't come to our property and talk to us like this.
We don't have to give you any explanations.
All you're doing is showing what your real intentions are.
You want to go into business with us?
Now we're understanding each other.
What kind of business were you and Oteyza doing together?
We didn't do any business together.
He was just a good friend.
We feel terrible about his death.
All it's done is bring us bad fortune.
For example, you.
They're not a real threat.
I hope Mr. Ricardo doesn't fall for it
and end up saying too much.
They're trying to see what they can get.
How do you know that?
Because they would've shown more force when they got here
and brought more men.
Are things are really bad now that Oteyza died?
Yeah.
Look at that. It's the DEA.
Those guys are screwed.
It's illegal for them to operate here.
They're not even supposed to be armed.
Mr. Ricardo's business partners should be here soon.
You really did save their lives.
I had to.
They have plans.
They want to work on something together,
so we're going to win their respect.
That's how we're going to get our foot in the door.
We're going to be big. You'll see.
Your friend here doesn't seem
to respect the authority very much.
I do, but I don't have respect for arrogant jerks like you.
Don't give me that s---. You just hate the military.
No, we don't hate anybody. We're good people.
You're new in town.
You're the new military chief,
so I recommend that you get settled in and acquainted.
We'll get to know each other, and then we'll talk.
In the meantime, though, go screw your mother,
you and all the idiot soldiers you brought with you.
Right?
We're nice to people who are nice to us.
You came here with an imposing attitude.
You're completely right.
I came here trying to lay down the law.
You all think you're real tough.
Don't underestimate me, though. This is only the beginning.
What do you mean by that?
Us getting along... or us going to war?
Both.
I'm going to do as you said.
I'm going to get settled in. You'll be seeing a lot of me.
Like you said, then we'll talk.
As for you, you should learn from him.
You should be more direct.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm not doing anything.
Hopefully he won't suffer the same fate as Oteyza.
Don't tell me that, man.
Well, too bad.
Hopefully whoever got rid of Oteyza
won't get rid of him too.
All I was able to do was go on a damn tour of the racetrack.
There's not a damn thing here.
Well, there he is.
Where's Mr. Ricardo?
He's probably inside.
That means everything's under control.
One thing's for sure, though. It ain't over till it's over.
We're making a mistake.
They've got too much security here
for a little ol' racetrack.
Either it already happened
or there really was going to be a meeting here.
I was just with the mayor and with Ricardo Almenar.
There's absolutely nothing here.
Next time, get your information right
before you alert us about something.
What happened?
What do you mean what happened?
Either they're really smart or we're big idiots.
How'd they find out?
I told you.
- YO SE LO DIJE, MI CORONEL.
News spread quickly in this town.
It's not normal to see
so many military officers or cops together,
so when people find out, they start talking.
We might've lost the battle, but we didn't lose the war.
We need to keep a close eye on these guys.
They're smart.
I want to know how everything works around here, okay?
As for the DEA, keep them at a distance.
I can't stand those f---ers, so keep them at a distance.
I also need a place to stay and some protection.
Can I count on you or not?
Sure thing, Colonel. You can count on me.
Let's go.
It's obvious Centeno has knowledge of what you do.
You mean what we do,
because you're deeply involved in this too.
Whatever. It's still a problem.
You need to listen to me.
We can't let this get out of our hands.
Like Centeno said, though, this is just the beginning.
So you'd better get ready for one hell of a race.
Go to the car.
-All done? -Yes, sir.
He deserves to be congratulated.
It's thanks to him that this didn't turn into a bloodbath.
I think he got mad.
I noticed.
Good job.
Let's talk about business.
You just got yourself a raise.
I'm going to pay you five times more than what I pay you now.
-Five times more? -That's right.
That's a sh--load of money, boss.
That's right.
Okay, I accept.
I wanted to ask you something.
What?
You're going to let me leave at some point, right?
What the hell for?
I want to grow.
I want to be somebody.
I want to be like you and not have to report to anyone.
I'll work for you until that moment comes,
because it will come.
Okay?
You bastard.
You turned out to be a real bastard.
I guess I deserve that.
Look, you're always going to have
people like Morillo around, loyal as a dog,
and who puts up with everything.
I have other aspirations though.
-Is that wrong? -No, it's not wrong.
We've still got a long time before that happens though.
Of course, a whole lot.
I just wanted to share what my dreams are
and how far I want to go.
I think that there should be various groups,
your group, my group,
and others as well, all working as a team.
In Colombia, they call that a cartel.
Then that. Cartels, groups, whatever.
Everyone working together though.
Sure. Good.
I'll be like your godfather then, if you want.
-Okay? -Yeah, definitely.
Let's go now.
I've got those people waiting for me at the ranch.
Okay.
Hey, what about the people who were here?
The military?
They're going to be a pain in our asses,
but right now I need you to find some guys
to work security for me.
They need to be with me day and night no matter what.
You've got it.
-Let's go, kid. -That way, yes.
Why'd you tell your mom?
You should've denied it completely.
She overheard me. It's too late now.
-Hey. -What?
Did you see those men inside?
Do you know who they are?
No, but they're probably
your brother's business partners or friends.
First one group arrived, and then a second group.
Did you see them?
Of course I did. They're men.
Pervert!
Oh, come on.
Anyway, back to what we were talking about,
aren't you scared your mom will tell your brother about Chema?
No, I told her I didn't care, and guess what?
I don't care.
Okay, let me teach you a little something
since I was the one who encouraged you.
If you would've told your mom
that you lost your virginity to, say, my cousin,
she wouldn't have made a big deal about it,
but you told her it was to the maid's son.
That's a big deal!
The maid?
Speak of the devil... Smile.
Hey, girls. Look at you two.
-Hey. -Hi.
Want to catch some rays with us?
I'd love to, but I've got something to do.
I'll catch you two later.
Chema.
So do you have a lot of work?
Why don't you join us for a bit?
I can't, a nd I shouldn't.
Hey... what about tonight?
I'm not sure why,
but I think I'm spending the night in your room.
