FAKE IDENTITY
Flor killed Margot to protect me.
And you chose to put an innocent guy in jail,
someone who had nothing to do with it.
We're just scratching an itch,
but it's not happening again, alright?
Whatever you say, babe.
Gavino!
Our lives will change forever
once we deliver that merchandise.
I know.
I don't like being used like a damn vibrator.
First time it's ever happened to me.
Oh, Porfirio, don't be so dramatic.
A lesson well learned is never forgotten.
That chick is trying to figure out whether you and me
had something to do with the delivery of those drugs.
You're under arrest, fool.
We've got to leave Mexico City, boss.
The money laundering, drug trafficking and whores...
It all went to ---- because of that bastard Joselito!
None of the charges against me are true.
I didn't kill the mayor, and I have the evidence to prove it.
FAKE IDENTITY
You're shooting off fireworks because you caught me, huh?
But you let your real problem escape.
Oh yeah? Which?
Gavino Gaona.
You had him right there, and he got away from all of you.
Nobody saw Gaona.
He was found innocent of any charges.
You, however, are wanted by the DEA, the federal police
and by us.
Look.
Just look at all the dead.
No.
------- Topo.
Don't tell me they killed him.
I loved that ------------.
The sons of bitches killed them all.
I don't know, maybe they got lucky.
They won't have to suffer like you in there, in jail.
It's tough in there.
You don't know what you're in for.
Lots of people want you dead.
Don't I get a phone call?
Of course.
I want to call my lawyer.
You'll get your call,
but you're being transferred to Sonora tomorrow.
In that case, yes.
You're my benefactor and I'll take you up on your offer.
-So we're clear then. -Yeah.
I want straight As now.
Promise.
If not, I'll pull your scholarship.
No, I won't let you down.
I also have to get a job because I'm paying back
every cent you lend me.
I think I can help with that too.
Really?
Yeah, my mom is opening this real fancy shmancy place.
I'll give you her info so you can call her.
You can work there when you're not in school.
-With Mrs. Fernanda? -Yeah.
That'd be awesome.
Bro, my girl got a call that there was a shootout at Babel.
-All kinds of dead and wounded. -Really?
You sure about that.
Yeah, and it looks like they arrested Joselo.
It was between his people and the Gaonas.
No word on Gavino.
What's up, Marlene?
Chabela, I'm sorry to call you so late.
What's going on?
There was a shootout at Babel.
Erick was there and said it was awful.
They killed and injured a lot of people.
What?
Erick and Jim came to the apartment.
It's really bad, and I'm worried the cops
will come here and arrest Jim.
I'll wake Porfirio and head there.
See you there, okay?
The plane is ready, boss.
But there's one thing.
What is it?
Joselito was caught.
That bastard should be dead, not in jail.
Yes, but the cops got him. Now what?
With or without police, I'm going to kill that -------.
How? He's in custody.
You can't kidnap him from the police...
That's not a bad idea, boss.
The Empress Reversed.
The Tower again!
Everything is turning out badly!
Who's this?
Everything went wrong. I'm in jail.
Gavino... is he dead?
If he were, I'd know.
But Topo and the Costa Ricans were killed.
Does Gavino know I'm with you in this?
Is he coming for me?
I don't know, and I don't care.
What I need is for you to get me out of here.
Call the Costa Ricans.
Tell them I need money and protection
to get out of this jam.
And who'll protect me from Gavino?
------- it, you witch.
I don't care about that right now.
Do what I say and careful not to betray me
or I'll betray you.
I was just fine in Costa Rica, and you got me out of there,
talking about your ------- Tarot cards
and predicting it'd go awesome.
But look how things turned out.
I don't even have Circe with me, ------- it.
Do what I said, alright?
If the police are after me,
I'll turn myself in and that'll be that.
What good will that do?
You'll be sent to prison, just like in the US.
So what do I do? Run?
With your record, what do you think will happen to you?
When the police realize you've got a record in the US,
you'll be the perfect suspect to blame for that shootout.
For God's sake, Jim, in this country,
all they need is a culprit
so they can wash their hands of the affair
and say the case was resolved.
Marlene, in Babel, money was laundered, drugs were sold
and women were prostituted.
All of that happened right in my face,
and I stupidly did nothing about it.
It's not that you're stupid, you just had no other choice.
I did have a choice, I just refused to see it.
And that makes me an accomplice of the Gaona Cartel.
That makes me responsible.
Please...
Excuse me, but Chabela and Corona are here.
They're waiting outside. They don't want to come in.
Thanks, Auntie. Let's go.
You like Chucho?
What's wrong with liking him?
Or are you like your friend and think Chucho's a nobody?
No, darling. Chucho's a prince.
He's an angel, he's just missing a halo and wings.
Then?
He's not the problem. You are.
You've been here just four months.
You're not in love with Chucho or anyone else
because you don't know anybody.
Well, I think Chucho's sweet and very nice.
And in love with another girl.
But she won't give him the time of day.
Look, Mara, I'll be straight with you.
Who better than me?
Chucho is head over heels for that girl.
What will you gain sticking your nose in that situation?
I'll get burned, I suppose.
Exactly.
If you know all that, what's the problem?
Look, take a deep breath and calm down.
We'll have more stability after I get married.
I guarantee you'll be able to go to school and get a job
and meet lots of people, one of whom I'm certain
will be a guy as great if not greater than Chucho.
I think you're putting him on a pedestal.
So you've thought about it?
I'm turning myself in.
What?
Wait. I've got a plan.
Yeah.
We can leave the city.
Yes, Corona says we can go to Puebla.
We'll get in the car and just go.
They can't accuse you of anything without any proof.
Puebla?
Once there we'll find a lawyer
and you can resolve all this from there.
That's much simpler.
What do you think?
Jim, think about it.
Give me a minute.
Okay, we'll be right here.
Yeah.
What's up, Hot Mama? Have you settled down?
Not really, but I know how you'll pay me back
for opening your mouth to Diego.
Just say who and when. I'll handle the rest.
That's more like it.
I need to see someone who's in custody at the station,
but the police are after me.
Can you help me with that?
For sure.
Alright.
Straight ahead.
What's up, girl?
I didn't think I'd see you around here again.
I heard you'd been in the hospital.
I need more meth.
You got money?
Not right now, but give me a few days...
Come back when you've got it.
Don't be like that.
I need those pills.
And I need money.
What do you think I live off of?
Besides, you already owe me a -------- of money.
I've got other things to pay with.
I've got jewelry and some rings my mother...
I know another way you can pay me back.
Not that.
It's your call.
Jewelry doesn't mean jack ---- to me.
They're either fake or you can't sell them.
You either pay with cash money,
or you pay with sex.
Otherwise, no meth.
I said what I had to say. What now?
Be quiet.
Is my lawyer here?
No, but there's someone that wants to see you.
Who?
I told you to shut them off.
What are you going to do now?
I'll leave you with your visitor.
Circe.
What's taking this man so long?
At least Diana's asleep and doesn't know what's happening.
Thanks, Auntie.
The gringo sure is taking a while.
All set?
Yeah, sorry.
Thanks for letting us help you.
We think this is the best course of action for you.
¿SÍ?
We're looking for Mr. Jim Chance.
Is that you?
I'm right here, officer.
