Daniel, this is illegal!
As illegal as asking you to transport them
when it isn't your responsibility.
Hey, I'm not asking you to make a false statement.
I'm simply asking you to go to the boss
and tell her the truth,
what really happened.
I'll handle the rest.
There's a warrant out for Vicenta Acero's arrest
in our country for raiding a truck
transporting horses belonging to Chucho Casares.
And to our government, she's a traitor.
You two know each other,
so I'll spare you the introductions.
How about we begin?
I can't be away very long.
What are you doing in my home?
Don't tell me you lost your husband
and think he's under my bed!
If they grab Vicenta, there's nothing we can do.
We discussed that possibility,
and we're not changing the plan.
Hold on, if things get complicated,
not exchanging fire doesn't mean I won't do anything
to save my sister, okay?
So get ready.
Everybody listen up.
We're nearing the security checkpoint.
Everybody be nice and quiet. Not a peep out of anyone.
May God have mercy on us if all this goes to hell.
THE ACERO DYNASTY
Documents, please.
Iliana Guzman?
That's me, sir.
What are you carrying?
Back there? Clothes.
All my paperwork here is in order.
Step out of the vehicle immediately.
What?
But officer, everything is in order.
There's my paperwork...
Out of the vehicle immediately, this is a routine inspection.
Step out and open the back, please.
This is what we need to launder from our last operation.
$5 million.
I've been thinking about the best way to do this.
I really don't recommend investing in tax havens.
After the Panama Papers were brought to light,
a lot changed.
I've got another idea.
I think it'd be best to invest part of the money
in those horses you've been racing,
and part of the money in machinery
for the governor's building.
No, no, no.
I'm keeping the governorship far away from all this.
I've got a lot of people watching every step I make.
Here in Chihuahua and in El Paso.
That ICE chief amongst them.
That f---ing gringa is a real thorn in my side.
I understand.
Then let's request bank loans from shell companies in the US.
We'll pay off the loans with the dirty money
and keep the laundered money.
That's all Greek to me. I don't understand a damn thing.
If it were up to me, I'd keep the money under a mattress.
He's the best at this, Indio.
You can take it easy.
I trust him.
Holy Virgin, what's going on?
What are you talking about?
Here are the papers, and you can see the clothes in there.
What's all this about? Are you serious?
We're done for.
They're going to find us.
No, no, no.
What the f---, man?
I thought Vicenta had worked this part out.
They're going to catch her!
Something obviously went wrong, just look at Vicenta's face.
She's very nervous.
Know what? Screw the f---ing plan.
Hand me the gift you promised me, Rooster.
Sure thing, Chava.
Let me introduce you to this lovely lady right here.
Have fun.
You and your sister are going to get us in a lot of trouble.
Let's see.
Well will you look at that? Officer Phillips.
I'll blow this whiteboy's head off
if he does anything to my sister.
May I come in?
Of course! Come in!
If you like, I can make you some chamomile tea
with ginger for your throat so you can yell at me
like you did at that mall like a lunatic!
Ma'am, you are not coming inside.
I let my anger get the better of me that day.
Please forgive me.
I need your help!
I need you to tell me everything you know.
I don't know anything.
If your husband's cheating right now, it's not with me.
I swear it.
No, no, explain my husband's relationship with Indio Amaro.
If I tell you everything I know,
will you leave me in peace and never come back?
Okay, one time, I saw the two of them speaking closely.
When they finished, they went their separate ways.
That's all I know.
But what kind of business do they do together?
Nothing good.
You think anyone could do good, safe business
with that bastard Indio Amaro?
And listen, I don't want any trouble
with Indio, the governor, or you,
so do me a favor and never come back.
Forget this place!
The nerve of her to come here.
Son of a bitch!
Maybe you should forget all that, ma'am.
No.
You're entering the lion's den.
No, I'm not scared.
I'll get the information I need somewhere.
Let's go.
See, officer? It's just clothes.
Anything else I could do for you?
That's right.
I think it's all gone to s---.
They're about to discover that damn compartment.
Be patient, Rooster. Don't get ahead of yourself.
I won't let them take my sister prisoner
like they did to my mother.
Your move, copper.
You lay a finger on my sister and I'll blow your head off.
The truck is clean. You may go.
Care to explain what this whole show is about?
Of course, Ms. Iliana.
Nice name.
We have to ensure you're someone who can be trusted.
Cameras are recording 24 hours a day.
We must be certain that you have nothing to be afraid of.
Understand?
Have a nice trip.
Good.
Create however many companies you need to.
From there, we'll expedite the process.
Fine, do what you need to.
But back to that ICE chief.
We need to get that woman out of the way.
I'm certain that damn woman changed all the routes.
We were ambushed today, and it was all her damn fault.
I don't think Indira is the problem.
We have to improve our routes.
Someone else will just take her place to f--- up our plan.
Hold on, hold on.
You're not here to give opinions, fool.
Who the hell does he think he is?
I told you there's nothing I can do.
You had the chance to kill her, and you blew it,
and now I'm paying for that mistake.
Speak to your buddy.
The PGE must lend us more support.
They've turned a blind eye for a while now,
and it's getting tougher on the border.
No, no, no.
We're investigating Immigration and Daniel Phillips,
but that's all we can do for now.
It's not that easy, Indio.
Ever since that gringo Martin died,
we've been blind in there.
We need to buy off someone else.
We've been blind since you lost that eye, f---er.
You're as useless as a concrete parachute.
Find another contact.
One close to the boss.
Offer a few thousand bucks.
I've got it from here, bro.
Bebote will be at the bar at your service
in case you need anything.
No need to worry, Chava. Everything went great.
See? We're a great team.
Thanks to you, sis.
It's because of your ideas that we're making back
all that money we lost.
You sure you don't need us?
I can return to the border so you don't have to be alone.
No, relax.
I've done this thousands of times.
Don't worry.
Just return to the ranch in case they need anything there.
Tell her to use the cell I gave her if she needs to reach us.
It's a secure line.
Tell Doriga I heard him loud and clear.
See you.
Well, now we know what to do with the money.
We'll stay in touch through the channels we agreed on.
And please remember,
I've got a presidential campaign to worry about.
I demand the utmost discretion.
And you'll have it.
I'll inform you when I've finished
creating those shell corporations.
But I will need to invest some of the money
to expedite certain things.
I hope that won't be a problem.
As long as everything you're talking about
makes this money grow,
you're free to do whatever.
Good.
Then I'll say my goodbyes.
Your money is in excellent hands, gentlemen.
Domingo.
Look who decided to free up space in his busy schedule
to visit me.
I hope you've got good news for me about the border.
This again, Indio?
I told you I couldn't do anything about the border
while that damn gringa is alive.
Boss, I can find new routes for you.
That way we can avoid this gringa
everyone's talking about.
Is this guy a dipsh-- or he just act like one?
Kid, don't speak when the bosses are talking.
Got it?
Has Mendoza not gotten anything on that ICE agent Phillips?
That's what I came to talk to you about.
I have information I wasn't aware of.
Daniel Phillips' mother is alive.
You're back quickly. Is everything alright?
Not really, boss.
I was attacked and the migrants were taken.
There was nothing I could do.
Attacked? By who?
Was the Coyote there?
I'd be lying if I said she was.
It was two men armed with assault weapons.
They blocked my way with an SUV, threatened to shoot me,
and took the migrants.
They weren't new at this. There was nothing I could do.
I don't like this one bit.
I'll go write up the report.
I don't want to, but it's procedure.
There's nothing I can do.
Yet another report HQ will receive
highlighting all the irregularities that occur
under my watch.
You're going to tell the truth.
What happened?
Two armed guys intercepted you, beat you,
and in order to save your life,
you let the migrants be taken.
That's not a lie.
...finding loopholes in the law.
This is illegal!
As illegal as deporting those immigrants
without prior warning,
without due process.
As illegal as asking you to transport them
when it isn't your responsibility.
Hey, I'm not asking you to make a false statement.
I'm just asking you to tell the boss the truth,
tell her what happened.
I'll worry about the rest.
If this continues, I'll be out of a job in two months.
I want that report ASAP.
Wipe those scared looks off your faces.
You're not under arrest.
Even I get goose bumps when I see you in that uniform.
If you pay me what you owe, I won't be the one arresting you.
You just bought yourselves a direct trip to the US.
And relax because with me, your futures couldn't be brighter.
This is the moment of truth.
That's great news.
Someone with family is much easier to f--- over.
That's why our men don't have families.
It's better that way.
What do you know about this woman?
Where does she live?
I'll have that information soon.
The sooner we know, the sooner we can take control
of the border.
I'll handle the old lady.
Well, I hope after this lead
you don't screw this up too, Indio.
Don't worry, Mr. Governor.
Whoever screws up will be sleeping in the cemetery.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
Feeling better?
I don't need any valerian tea.
What I need is for that girl to leave my house already.
Yes, Debora crossed the line.
How could she threaten Rooster with taking his son?
I wish I could turn back time
and make it so none of this happened.
I wish we could be the happy family we always dreamt of.
Erick, Felipito, and me.
Life has a way of surprising us.
And I've got a closet full of skeletons.
Private Number
I'm going to take this call out there.
It's very important.
Why so mysterious? You can answer it here.
Chucho?
What the hell took you so long to answer?
I don't like having to wait.
Don't get like that, Mr. Chucho, I don't like it.
I gave you that phone so we could be in direct contact.
It had better not happen again.
Sir, yes, sir!
You miss me?
When will we see each other again?
That's why I'm calling.
I want to see you tonight.
So soon?
I mean, of course! Whenever you want!
I had the warrant for your arrest dropped.
I scratch your back, you scratch mine.
I'll see you when I'm done with this meeting.
Thank you.
I love men of their word.
Come dressed in red.
The color of hell.
Perfect. What time shall we meet?
Okay, I'll be there.
Great.
