THE LORD OF THE SKIES
If Garañon's giving you too much ----,
ice the --------------.
I don't trust that Venezuelan military officer.
She's just waiting for the right time
to spew her venom and tell whoever it suits her to know
that I'm a DEA agent.
Aurelio wants me to hand over a big fish in the government
to the DEA.
I'm interested in what Ambar Maldonado has for us.
Any of these would be an unprecedented achievement.
It's Aurelio Casillas.
I was contacted by his son.
They want to know everything about Col. Maldonado.
I don't know what to do.
You have five minutes to appear.
THE LORD OF THE SKIES
Please don't do it, boss. Please.
You could start a war.
You're putting your family at risk.
You'd sacrifice the lives of your loved ones!
Then what should I do?
Let these ---------------- mess with me?
No!
Look, boss.
If you kill a big-timer like him,
we'll invite the wrath of everybody.
And I can assure you of one thing.
Whoever brought him here will replace him just like that!
Believe me, boss.
The Colombian cartels are very powerful.
Well, they're negotiating with Mexico.
Look, boss, I can assure you that the Mexicans
that used to harass us before sold the business to Cabo.
He's here because you pressured him, but that merch is his.
VENEZUELAN EMBASSY MEXICO CITY
You can't imagine.
I'm terrified to know it's Aurelio Casillas
behind all this.
I don't know what to do.
I was thinking of calling Bernardo Castillo directly
or maybe leaving the city or country
and running from everything
because I don't think I can handle this.
Alright, relax.
Take the apartment. Accept it.
What?
You're telling me to accept it?
Yes.
Those people do things for a reason.
If they proposed it, it's because he's interested
And tell this man that I want to talk to him, okay?
To Aurelio Casillas?
Exactly.
I want to speak to Aurelio Casillas.
Know how many people are behind this bastard?
I have no way of knowing
because we operate on a need to know basis.
We don't have enough people.
But I know this guy will fight you to the death.
He's looking for revenge, and he's bloodthirsty.
And we're still not strong enough to take them on.
Cabo, there's nobody in there.
But the merch is.
This is all very weird.
What's this broad playing at?
Make sure it's all there
and in five minutes we're out of here.
The rest of you, stay in position.
The drugs are there, Cabo. All of it.
Something smells fishy.
If she's not here in five minutes, we leave.
These are my drugs.
So what do we do?
If the DEA shows up, we're sitting ducks here.
Don't worry about that. I've got people outside.
They'd let me know immediately.
This broad might be mouthy and all that,
but she did her job.
What's this mare playing at?
Barbas, get me a scale to weigh the merchandise.
Weigh every brick.
Load the trucks and let's get out of here.
We'll distribute it ourselves.
What is this bitch up to?
You've got to look at drug trafficking differently.
In Venezuela, we understand that it's a way
to finance things.
Guerrillas and such.
But they're crimes.
The ends justify the means, dear.
What?
I can't believe it, Edith.
That man is very dangerous.
She who's done nothing wrong fears nothing, Arelys.
I'm not scared of him.
Plus, you rid yourself of the problem, of course.
How's everything over here?
Arelys, is something wrong?
Problems with her love life. I'm giving her some advice.
I can imagine your advice. Marry the guy.
If you want real advice, pass by my office when I come back.
I'll treat you to an ice cream.
Excuse me.
You're going to do it, right?
Well...
That's an order, Arelys.
Get me a meeting with that man.
MEXICO CITY
The boss said he didn't want any deaths.
I know, Vitas.
We don't need that right now.
I hope we don't have to kill anyone.
Why does Dad send me on jobs like this?
It's because the boss trusts you.
He knows you'll do right by him.
He couldn't come, but that's what family's for.
You got that right.
Let's do this.
The school must understand I'm in the middle of campaigning...
It'd be my pleasure...
Everybody calm down. Good afternoon.
I hate to be rude, Mr. Candidate,
but I need to talk to you for a half hour.
DEA OFFICES MEXICO CITY
Saldaña, as you can tell, we're busy.
I think I can identify the surroundings
around the house I was at.
Very good. Work on that.
What do you need?
To look at the satellite imagery.
Sorry to interrupt, but a Col. Maldonado is here to see you.
Thanks very much. Send her in.
Nice to meet you. Ambar Maldonado.
A pleasure.
Guillermo Colon.
-Joe Navarro. -A pleasure.
Joe Navarro, anti-drug commissioner,
and Agent Saldaña.
I had the pleasure of meeting her the other night.
At the reception at the Venezuelan Embassy.
What I didn't know is that the DEA
employed such attractive women.
Which of you three am I talking to?
Depends on what you have to offer.
I can choose.
Depending on the information you share with us,
Colon and Agent Saldaña can be in charge of the case
for the DEA.
That is, me.
So I'm here to negotiate with you, Navarro.
I've come to hand over the president of Venezuela.
What guarantees do I have?
How will you protect me?
You're... Aurelio Casillas' son.
That's right.
I'm glad you recognize me.
Saves on introductions.
What do you want?
I don't negotiate with criminals.
I'm not Teran, much less Gomez Labrador.
I don't offer amnesty.
Calm down, darling.
Right on. Listen to your wife.
Don't get pissed off. Chill. I just want to talk a little.
Half hour. What do you say?
What do you want?
Why did your father send you?
You really think you can negotiate with me?
Believe it or not, my father does care about this country.
We've spoken to Begoña and to Labrador.
Dad couldn't come today, right? But that's why I'm here.
To give him your message.
Don't tell me you've got nothing to say to him.
Interested or not?
I've got information on drug trafficking operations.
That includes the names of high-ranking
government officials.
I'm talking from the president on down.
Why now?
Why sell them out like that?
What's in it for you, Colonel?
What information do you have?
That's a lot of questions all at once, don't you think?
Those are serious accusations you're making.
Furthermore, you're none other than the military attaché
for the Venezuelan Embassy.
I'd rather we discussed this alone.
You can stay, Colon.
No.
I thought it'd be just you and me negotiating, Navarro.
This is a State Department conversation.
As you can understand, it's very sensitive information.
Will you help me with the satellite images?
Sure, why not.
Sit down.
Where were we?
First, I want to know what you've got for me.
How will you protect me?
Unfortunately, you're not the one who decides
in what order things go.
Protocol is that we first assign a value
to the information you're providing.
Look, it's a very delicate issue for me.
It's so difficult.
but I've had enough of the filth.
You know that by sitting here
I'm tying a noose around my own neck.
Don't think I don't understand.
Good.
It puts me at ease to know that you understand
my life depends on this.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't stand all the hypocrisy, all the cynicism.
He says all he cares about is the good of the people,
that everything he does is for their good, but it's a lie.
People are starving to death.
Navarro, what I'm here to tell you is much worse
than Noriega in Panama, I promise you.
I understand your distress,
and I understand the danger you could be in by coming here.
The problem is as far as the president of Venezuela
and those around him,
we've already got proof.
Tell me something I don't know.
What's up, coz? You're acting strange.
The man from the composite sketch looks just like my boss.
From the Presidential Guard?
MEXICO CITY
Zuleta, now that I think about it,
you won't need to come with me.
It's just a domestic flight to Cancun.
You stay just in case you have to carry out
the mission you're planning.
Very well thought out, sir.
We can't let Cabo take control
of everything that was Casillas' and leave us out.
You couldn't be more right, Mr. President.
So we'll keep those guidelines.
Take me to the airport, and the other guards
will come with me.
You stay to resume operations.
Very good, sir.
I'll leave you in the presidential hangar
and resume the operation.
Nothing.
Nothing?
----!
I don't like this one bit.
She did something.
Don't worry so much, Cabo. She's all bark.
She's gonna pay for standing me up.
Listen up, folks.
Cocaine airlines is announcing departures to...
Los Angeles, Las Vegas.
Yes, Cabo!
You answer with your lives for this merchandise.
You only stop to take a leak.
We've got a lot of nostrils to feed.
Let's get out of here!
Open that ------- door.
Let's go!
Relax, boss.
I know how it feels when things don't work out as planned.
But look at it this way.
Those people will be calm for a time.
Exactly.
For a short while.
But they'll be back.
We need a strategy. We need people.
You and I alone can't do it.
Don't worry.
I spoke to men who work for the Ramoses,
and they're coming with us.
I swear I'll get you even more people.
I need to get out of this ----.
The only way I can is to earn respect.
That is, to become a cartel.
Because these Colombians are going to wake up one day,
make fools of us, and kill us.
You like that idea?
Relax.
Don't worry.
I'm going to make this work. I'm going to do it.
It won't be easy, but I'll get you all the people you need.
Don't worry. I swear it.
