THE ACERO DYNASTY
They found a mass grave near the border.
It appears it's related to the desert massacre,
to the Tijuana Cartel and Sanchez.
Sorry, what did you say your name was?
Mario Casas.
We have a mutual enemy in Indio Amaro.
If you accept, you could be the new Jaibo.
Your commission would be 40%.
Rooster Quintanilla is holding a press conference tomorrow.
The bastard's going to talk about ruining your deal
and taking your tunnels.
I'm going to wave around his ----- when I cut them off.
MEXICO/US BORDER
You sure the times and bodies line up with the killings?
Yeah, with the desert massacre.
The investigation was postponed due to lack of evidence,
but I think it can be reopened now
in order to proceed with the investigation.
Is there more evidence?
Yes, it's why I asked you to come.
I wanted to show you this. We found it in the grave.
Sanchez?
There's no doubt anymore.
Sanchez is mixed up in all this.
You're a public figure.
Everybody saw you on TV offering a reward
for the return of your son.
Coincidentally, I almost rescued him
from Indio Amaro's ranch.
How do you know he was there?
You're defensive, and that's understandable.
You thought your son was dead, and he just turned up.
It's understandable.
But you saved him.
You're the only one who deserves all the credit.
How do you know he turned up?
Nobody knows that. It hasn't been on the news.
-You a reporter or what? -I know everything,
because I'm Indio Amaro's partner.
Here are the rest of the uniforms,
and the truck is in perfect condition.
Officer Phillips was responsible for all this.
I'm going to need you to turn off the engine
and step out of the vehicle for an inspection.
An inspection?
You want to start by inspecting Ben Franklin?
Mr. Romero, everything went like we agreed it would.
Good job.
You get results.
Describe the look on Salvador Acero's face.
What did he say when you offered him the job?
Did he jump at the chance
-or hesitate? -Not for a second.
He took everything we asked him to.
He was real happy at the thought
of how much he's going to make.
Here's where the contact will be.
Alright then.
We have to prepare the boxes to save some time.
Right on.
Messed up, huh?
Let's make something clear at the outset.
Anybody moves and they get a bullet to the head.
What he doesn't know is he'll be getting home
sad and empty-handed.
And a monster debt because they're going to owe you
that money.
Thanks, buddy.
What'd you think, Mom?
Little by little, I tighten the noose around the Aceros' necks.
Until they suffocate!
Know the best part?
They're not even going to know it was me
controlling everything around them?
Am I doing well?
You look pretty in that picture.
You're pretty, Mom.
Daniel, I know Sanchez was your friend,
but you have to be objective.
All the evidence points to Sanchez
being involved in this.
He's either the mastermind behind
or person who carried out this massacre.
The computer files, the body in his truck...
What if that evidence was planted to incriminate him?
- DANIEL.
Have you considered that?
You're refusing to see things clearly.
-You're a cop! -I'm not refusing that.
But I've known Sanchez a long time.
It's like you being blamed for a crime like this.
Know what I'd say?
That I don't believe it because you're my friend
and incapable of doing something like that.
-It's exactly the same. -I know all this sucks,
but these families need justice.
There's a possibility neither of you are seeing.
What's that?
What if all these bodies are here
because one of them is Sanchez's?
Relax.
I'm not here to threaten you.
On the contrary, you'll want to hear me out.
I'm Indio's partner in the Molly business.
He's the one who transports the merchandise,
bribing your people, the ones who should control the border.
For example, does the name Ayala ring a bell?
The Customs agent? Yes.
Yes, he's my subordinate.
What do you want?
Money?
What are you after?
None of that.
I know much more about you than you can imagine.
I know you're Owl's partner,
that you get him immigrants
to work on the Tijuana Cartel's ranch.
I know Indio Amaro's threatening you
because you failed him during a crossing,
which is why he kidnapped your son.
But thankfully, I record all important conversations.
All my business, everything I discuss with Indio Amaro.
I thought it might come in handy,
but you never know.
You need me to sell you more Molly?
You're asking for too much.
You decide if you want to work with me or against me.
You don't want me as an enemy.
Where would you find another supplier
to sell you your drugs as cheap as I do?
How will you cross into the US?
I resolved that problem a long time ago.
I've got a contact in Brownsville
called Ayala.
All I've got to do is grease his palm.
You trust that guy?
The head of ICE in Texas found him for me.
Indira Cardenas.
Want to keep listening or shall I play a tune...?
Why'd you want to rescue my son if you're Indio Amaro's partner?
Because this son of a bitch killed the love of my life.
I saw everything he did to your son,
and I was just about to save him.
A shame you got ahead of me and sent Immigration.
Immigration?
No, they didn't rescue my son.
It was the Aceros.
Mario, isn't it too much of a coincidence?
What?
Just when you put a plan together, Immigration shows up.
It's like they were expecting you.
Have you considered your phone might be tapped,
and that's how they knew you'd be there?
It was those sons of bitches.
Those bastards got to your son thanks to me.
Do you know Marcelo Doriga?
He's trash that's worked for the Aceros for a long time.
He kidnapped my daughter.
I need to find my daughter, and for that I need you.
Indira, you and I have a lot in common.
We must unite and screw over the people who ------ us.
You understand?
You're such a pretty princess.
Go play for a while.
Look, I know this isn't what you wanted
for you or your kid.
But it is what it is.
Your dad's a good man,
and he'd give his life for both of you.
I don't need him to.
I don't need anyone to.
Andrea, I'm tired of saying it and you don't get it anyway.
This family is badass, and you're lucky
to not only have a father, but have him be Marcelo Doriga.
Honey, what can I do to make you feel better?
What can you do?
You know where I was raised? Where I grew up?
In New York.
I owned an art gallery and was always surrounded
by important people, by the avant-garde and artists.
Every night was a different meeting and dinner
and cocktail party with very important people.
Now I'm here, stuck in this bunker,
surrounded by weapons and bulletproof vests.
And do you know why?
Because I fell in love with the wrong man.
But if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
Right?
Right, but you're strong.
No, I'm not, Dad.
It makes me sad to have you here,
but you know what's sadder?
That Elizabeth has no real dolls.
That her toys are all beat up.
And she doesn't deserve that,
just like you don't deserve to be here.
You deserve a pretty bedroom full of color in New York.
But this here, it is what it is. It's what I can give you.
We can do it here, Andrea.
I can help you decorate and make it real pretty.
What would I do without you, Chenta?
Nothing.
You're like another father to my brother.
Whatever happens to him, happens to me.
I love you, you damned Coyote.
Look what Santa brought us.
Here I thought we were getting a lump of coal.
You're very close to exhausting my patience.
There's time for you to leave and forget what you're doing.
You don't know who you're messing with.
I don't care who you are.
Today, you're the dumbass we stole an arms shipment from.
Alright then.
Calm down, Chava!
They're going to shoot you!
You picked a nice place to die.
Hey, don't forget why we're here.
We steal the shipment and leave.
Those are our orders, understood?
Dispose of their phones
and tie them up so that they can't get away.
I don't want any surprises.
I'll make sure to speed up the DNA tests.
Mendoza, let me use ICE.
Our labs will get the results faster.
-No. -Why not?
I called you to keep you in the loop,
but I can't hinder a federal investigation.
The FBI already suspects somebody.
Who?
Indira Cardenas?
They won't touch her.
They won't touch her because her son was kidnapped.
She could argue she was coerced or forced by Indio Amaro.
How's the kid?
Good. Bad.
Well, he's alive, and that's what matters.
He's got marks all over him from being tortured
and he won't speak.
The doctor says he's got PTSD.
Daniel, we both know there's a piece missing
from this investigation.
A key piece that'll help us put the puzzle together.
Nicolas' kidnapping, Sanchez's disappearance,
and the immigrants' deaths.
We have to find that piece to clear up this mess
but above all to bring the person responsible to justice,
no matter who it is.
You were wanted by Interpol and the FBI.
Plus, you were mixed up
in the Bolsak Moneda financial scandal!
I don't know anyone whose past is squeaky clean.
They're not looking for me now, that's what's important.
Please do a search
for Marcelo Doriga, my wife, and my daughter.
I need to know if they crossed the border and when.
No, I don't see any movement for Marcelo Doriga,
Andrea Doriga or Elizabeth Paniagua.
And they're not in the Witness Protection Program.
If they crossed the border illegally,
they wouldn't be dumb enough to use a credit card,
but I'll still do a search for that.
No, nothing.
All set. Excuse me.
Now that I've helped you, you may go.
You're a very smart, beautiful woman.
Please don't waste your talents.
If we join forces, we can get revenge on Indio Amaro.
You for what he did to your son,
me for what he did to the love of my life.
Give me some space.
I've got my son.
I don't need to ---- with anyone.
Are we clear?
If you'd only seen what they did to your son,
I assure you you'd put a bullet in every square inch
of Indio Amaro's body.
Your son's back was whipped and scarred.
He was tattooed and taught how to shoot.
He even had to kill one of Indio Amaro's men.
Not you! Not you!
What do you want?
I want you to help me transport my Molly.
Up to now, Indio was how I did that.
If I don't have Indio, I want you to handle that.
That, and help me get back my wife and daughter.
Your son was returned to you.
However, I got nothing.
I can't.
I can't help you transport drugs
because I'm getting out of this shit.
As soon as my son recovers, I'm going far away from here.
I need my family back.
That's all.
You're a mother who thinks she can rebuild her life.
But I'm a father without his daughter.
I came to speak to you because I thought
you could be my only option.
I see now I chose poorly.
You're right. Sorry.
I'm sorry. I was stupid to come.
No, that's not it.
You're just a desperate father.
Can we start over?
Forget about everything I said that I know about you.
Please help me find my daughter.
