to his friends?
We don't just want to meet his friends.
We need him to trust me, to trust us.
If it weren't for you, I would've been killed.
Here's the money we agreed on.
Don't worry about your mom either.
We've arranged for her
to be treated at a hospital in Mendoza.
Like I told you, we'll cover all the expenses.
Mr. Jurado was on official and confidential business,
under my orders.
I need to get an operative into Vargas' inner circle ASAP.
Do you think you can hide it?
It's our only way to get in touch.
Yes.
Don't you find it suspicious that this Mexican woman
saved your life and didn't ask for anything in return?
What about your police contact? Can they be trusted?
Everything you learn, share it with me first, okay?
What we know is that Matos is an art smuggler.
Mateo, no!
Get whatever you want while we open the window.
We don't know what's his relationship with the Horseman.
When I was still working and was the king of the coop,
there were dudes who sent drugs to Europe in those dolls.
They'd make twice as much money.
For the art and for the drugs.
Have Fedor find out everything he can about that painting.
It's likely to be for sale and that could generate some leads.
What do you want in exchange?
You really think I'm going to blackmail you?
I'm very, very anxious.
If you accept, I'd like to extend a unique invitation.
We need to be more careful. Keep an eye out for everything.
There may be another way to go back.
What are you thinking?
Have a seat.
Painting workshop?
Yes, that's what is says there.
I thought you and your father were on vacation.
We plan to stay.
My dad has business in Cusco and I get bored easily,
so I wanted to sign up for some classes
before officially starting school.
I understand.
The bad news is the instructor isn't accepting new students.
I can recommend another school nearby.
I think I have a card handy.
Is he the instructor?
Yes, but like I said, he's busy.
Hey, wait!
Damn it!
Hello, sir. I'm Sofia Popescu.
Who let you in?
The lady downstairs said
you weren't accepting new students...
She's right.
I'm not taking any new students,
especially not beginners.
No, the thing is I'm not a beginner.
Oh, okay.
So, you're an expert.
-Not exactly, but... -The exit is that way.
Hello.
Ruben, yes, how are you? One sec.
Hello. Yes, I'm at the gallery.
Yes, I did everything you said,
including the thing with the watchman.
We've already repaired the window
and I'm waiting on a worker to come seal it.
I don't know.
I don't know, Ruben. It's strange.
Only very few clients know about the cellar.
Yes, that's just what I'm doing.
I'm making a list to see if I can determine a suspect.
Uh-huh.
The most valuable items they stole were the two paintings.
It's very hard to get other ones like it.
Yes. No, I don't think so.
What I'm most curious about is how they got in.
It's very suspicious.
Yes, just a sec, Ruben.
I'll call you later, Ruben.
What are you doing here?
I'm not a beginner.
Did you do that?
Who else?
Tomorrow at ten.
Sharp.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
I slept on a sofa last night. I can't stand him.
What are those for?
What do you mean? Sedatives.
I need them now more than ever.
Danilo....
did you know Epifanio had my father killed?
General Garrido told me,
but it wasn't my place to tell you, ma'am.
How did I not see it? How did I not suspect it?
------------!
No one knew.
We didn't have all the information.
Alright.
Now I need to get Epifanio to bring my son back.
Ma'am, whatever you do, please don't put yourself in danger.
-We can't raise any suspicions. -I know, I know.
Danilo speaking.
Thank you.
The president is on his way.
Hand me the book.
The prologue is ready. I made a few changes.
Review it, make sure is ready.
You're still working on those books?
Do something useful, man.
I told you no one in this country reads.
Well, excuse me. I'll be off.
Tell me how'd it go with the press conference.
What are people saying?
Of course, sir. I'll look up the report now.
Several writers are repeating the information I see here,
which is that this matter with the US wasn't an attack on you
but on all of Mexico.
Hell yeah! What'd I tell you, man?
And you wanted to put out a press release.
Didn't I tell you the best defense is an offense?
Another thing, sir.
As far as social media, #ImWithEpifanio is a top trend.
I see here that the politicians who don't support you
aren't condemning you either, not even the opposition.
What did Cardenas say?
He hasn't commented so far.
Sorry to interrupt, sir, but this is even more important.
According to a public opinion poll,
75% of the population supports your mandate.
That's it, damn it! What'd I tell you?
------- gringos can suck it. This backfired on them.
In fact, they did me a favor, didn't they?
Remember that Karen told us
that the Bay Horseman bets big in poker?
That's where we need to focus.
How did that girl find out about the tattoo?
No idea, but she was sure he had one of an anchor
on his forearm and that he was a regular customer.
Here he comes.
-Hello. -Lorenzo.
-Are we ready? -We are!
We're anxious to see where you're taking us.
Very well. One thing, though.
I don't think your bosses will need you.
You can give him the night off.
You know I don't go anywhere without security.
Of course, but this time, we're not leaving the hotel.
You'll see.
Okay then.
Jorge, I'll call you if I need anything.
Let's go then.
Let's go.
I'm all ears, Garrido.
What I'm about to tell you isn't easy to say,
so please don't misinterpret me.
Am I right to assume you want
to talk about what's happening with General Montoya?
That's exactly what I want to talk about.
We're cut from the same cloth.
I've lost a lot of sleep over this situation as well.
Open this.
That woman there is the one who reported Montoya.
That other one too.
Worst of all, there are four more women
willing to testify against Montoya.
Where did these pictures come from?
I had so many questions that I returned to the palace
and Vargas himself gave them to me.
The president?
He said he didn't have any evidence.
He wasn't going to bring this up in public.
We're all trying to avoid a scandal.
I need to interview these women.
That's outside our jurisdiction.
It's being investigated at the very top.
We can't stay silent about this, though.
Garrido, I would deny what I'm about to say to my own mother.
You know I don't care much for Vargas.
In fact, of all the presidents
I've had the honor of working with,
Vargas is by far the worst.
But this time, he's on our side.
Throw a party at the country house.
For what reason?
Make something up, a dinner.
Hold on. This is important.
Hello.
Mr. President, my meeting with Garrido just ended.
Oh, and?
Well, it's as you suspected.
He wanted to intercede on General Montoya's behalf.
----.
I never thought those two were friends.
Garrido's always been a difficult person to decipher,
but I managed to convince him.
Very well, General, keep me informed.
And don't take your eyes off Garrido or the others.
As you wish, Mr. President.
Alright. Oh, and one more thing.
Act like we did at the last meeting.
Like we don't get along, like we hate each other.
-Yes, sir. -Alright.
