CHEMA
I've never disrespected you.
I've never betrayed you.
You trained me and gave me a start.
I'll always be grateful for that.
That's how we got to where we are now.
Now, I'm here...
doing the right thing.
I'm being respectful and honorable.
Look.
I've delineated on this sheet of paper
how we're going to run the biz from now on.
That is how we're going to operate.
Speaking of business, boss.
You seem pretty trusting of Chema Venegas.
Aren't you afraid he's going to do us in eventually
or come up with some sketchy s---?
Look, man.
I don't even trust myself after a shot of aguardiente.
That's just how this business is.
The moment Imelda laid eyes on Chema,
I knew he could be trusted.
We're on Chema's team. For now, anyway.
Alright.
I know what you're going to say, Andrews.
People whom we've caught working with drug dealers
can't become DEA agents.
You know that.
I know that. Our superiors know that, too.
Then again, they're never going to see this.
In due time, we'll tell him his request was denied.
In the meantime, it's best if he continues to work for us
and helps us catch Chema Venegas and Ricardo Almenar.
So something is wrong.
Tobias, quit talking nonsense.
Don't give me that look. You're making me nervous.
I just want to know what's going on.
You avoided me all night long...
and now it's like you're on a different planet.
I hope we don't have a repeat of last night
when I come home tonight.
Ricardo, please. No...
No? Come on.
You want this.
This is pure poetry, baby.
We need to take Chema out of the game.
We just spoke to Ricardo about it.
That's why we want to know whether you're on our side.
I knew that bastard Chema would ruffle everyone's feathers.
Of course, we don't have a problem with it.
The sooner, the better.
Could he be why you and your lady parted ways?
Back when she attended my cousin's sister's wedding,
they seemed to be pretty close.
Yep.
We're talking about business here.
Got that?
Look...
I need some assurance that the Colombian merch
is going to make it over to me.
Come on, Gary.
Who do you think owns the tunnels we utilize?
Our cousin Ricardo, of course!
He's on our side.
That's why we speak on his behalf.
Good.
What about the other people involved in this?
You know, the Robleses, the Letrans,
and the Aguileras.
Since when do you care about what's going on in Mexico?
Just focus on selling the merch
to your little cokehead friend.
We'll focus on taking care of business down in Mexico.
Everyone wins.
MEXICO CITY
To be honest,
I came to talk about the situation in Nogales.
I don't like what's going down on the border one bit, Feyo.
Neither do I.
The authorities are starting to meddle a bit too much.
We fear Ricardo Almenar might not be able
to keep that situation under control.
I've discussed it with Guadalupe.
If it becomes too much for Ricardo to handle,
we think Chema should take over.
It's time we took this situation into our own hands.
I think Chema's way more trustworthy.
To be honest, I don't fully trust Ricardo anymore.
He's a sly one. Bring that here.
Hello?
Great timing, man!
We figured you might want to add your two cents to this topic.
What's up, Guadalupe? Who's we?
I'm here with my brother and Mr. Feyo.
We're kind of worried about the situation on the border.
Hold up. Let me put you on speakerphone.
Alright, bro! We hear you loud and clear.
Gentlemen! It's a pleasure to speak to you.
How are things?
I've got news for you from the other side of the border.
Chema headed out to Nogales earlier.
He's meeting with Mr. Ricardo.
What's that all about, Cadena?
Does this mean Chema's officially flying solo?
Should we say a rosary for the damn boy?
I'm not all too sure what's going on,
but he wants to keep Ricardo on our side for now.
I think you've taken sides with Chema.
Am I right or what?
I've always said that I'm a straight shooter.
I'm a man of loyalty.
I told Chema he could count on me whenever and wherever.
Alright, Cadena.
Stay alert in case things get nasty.
We don't know how Ricardo Almenar is going to react,
but we need to safeguard our livelihoods at any cost.
Relax, man!
Don't worry.
The show must go on.
You can quote me on that.
Gentlemen, I bid you adieu. I'll keep you posted.
These geezers are f---ing nuts. They get scared so easily!
-Hey, Mr. Oscar... -Yeah?
I really hope Chema seals the deal down in Nogales.
I just finished negotiating full-on production
throughout the Putumayo River region
and its surrounding villages.
We need to sell this s--- somehow.
You too?
You've all gone mad.
Don't worry, man. Relax.
Trust me, it's going to sell.
Look here.
Where's the merch coming in from?
It arrives by land and sea from Colombia, obviously.
That's it?
There's another group that's flying it in.
They're like the Casillases. They operate outside of Sonora.
Right, but I just want to focus on this area.
See? We can work together, after all.
All it takes is a bit of cooperation.
By the way...
How many tunnels are there in Nogales?
We are aware of their existence.
We also know Chema Venegas played a key role
in helping Almenar build them all.
Look, people love a good legend, Ponce.
They like to make stuff up about others
to avoid talking about themselves.
Alright, then.
Let's see just how legendary this Chema guy is.
It's obvious that Almenar has a solid front
by way of his business.
We'll have to find out
how much of Chema's legend actually holds true.
You know I'm in the market to make money.
In fact, I went to Miami while I was in the States.
Struck up a deal with Imelda Rosado.
So you've allied yourself with the Colombians.
What about us?
Mr. Ricardo...
You'll keep making money.
Nothing's changed.
I just wanted you to hear it from me.
The plan is right here.
Your relatives had better not come around
claiming that I'm playing dirty.
Don't let them poison you.
None of it's true.
It's in our benefit to have the Colombians on our side.
It's in everyone's benefit.
Is that it or is there something else?
I don't know.
You tell me.
Mr. Ricardo...
taking me out is bad for business.
I love your family quite dearly...
and I know you love and respect my mother.
Do you really want to f--- things up?
Are you with me or against me?
I knew this would happen, sweetie.
You heard what Chema said to Mr. Ricardo.
Is there any way to make you stay?
This has always been your home and Chema's home.
Everything's changed, sweetie.
Things are going to keep changing, too.
You're moving into your own house soon.
Chema's in deep and there's no way back now.
Is that why you're leaving?
You're off to enjoy Chema's newfound riches.
No, Amanda.
No.
We all like to pretend things are fine,
but that money is tainted with the blood of many
and I want nothing to do with it!
I wouldn't be able to live with that guilt.
It's painful enough as it is...
watching my son grow up into a murderer.
No. I can't do this, sweetie.
I'm moving into a small, humble home.
One I can pay for with my savings.
There's a war brewing, and it's looming over us.
Your father and my son
are about to collide like two speeding trains.
Take your husband and go far away from this place.
You must seek shelter.
You must look after yourself.
Alright! See you then.
Who was that, Red? Regina?
None of your business.
You think the boss will forget you nabbed his woman?
I'll beat the s--- out of you as soon as he tells me to.
Oh, right. You have to follow orders.
Damn kiss ass.
You just love kissing Mr. Ricardo's ass.
Chill, Red.
As for you...
Quit picking fights and get back to work.
You won't be seeing us for much longer.
I doubt that, Bull.
My face might be the last thing you see before you die.
Come on, you bastards.
The only difference is, instead of working together,
we'll be minding our own business.
We'll each be making our own decisions.
You've got it all figured out, don't you?
You set this whole thing up and left me with no other option.
I've one question for you.
What are we going to do about Red?
What about Red?
Is he going to be your business partner or something?
Let's get this conversation over with, shall we?
It's really starting to bug me.
Did Red steal off Regina?
