This is only the first one.
I want it finished before I return.
When are you traveling? Today.

I was getting bored waiting for so long.
[sighs.]
For complaints, my wife, babe.
This is my golden chance with Mr.
Miguel Ángel.
[water running.]
Which wife? Both of them.

Excuse me.
What's up, engineer? Joaquín, what you're asking for is impossible.

How are you? [secretary.]
Yes, sir.
If you say so, sir.
Yes Yes, I made the call myself.
Once again, yes, sir.
If the governor didn't answer, it's not my fault.
Sir, the thing is, the governor has gained a lot of power.
No, sir, I'll handle it.
I've made a report on the governor.
All right, sir, as you wish.
[thumps table.]
JALISCO STATE GOVERNMEN [keys jingling.]

If this son of a bitch gets canned, what will happen to us? [journalist.]
Rafael Caro Quintero was captured! Key figure in Latin American drug trafficking.
and amongst the most important in the international drug trade.
Moreover, he's presumed to have killed the American agent Enrique Camarena Salazar and his Mexican pilot, Alfredo Zavala Avelar.
Enrique Camarena Salazar, special agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration was conducting an undercover investigation in Guadalajara, Mexico to smash a ring of drug traffickers.
He was kidnapped, tortured brutally and killed.
[journalist.]
The detained drug traffickers are members of the Guadalajara Cartel, headed by Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo.
Their names are Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, aka Don Neto.
Your uncle is a badass, Amado.
AMADO CASTILLO, "THE LORD OF THE SKIES" HEAD OF JUÁREZ CARTEL and Rafael Caro Quintero, who has been identified as the man responsible for the torture and murder of the DEA agent.
[journalist.]
Do you have any regrets? Well what should I say? I never feel regret.
What's done is done.
And now I'm here.
- What can I do? - [journalist speaking.]
What's your relationship with Félix Gallardo? - None.
- Do you know him? No, sir.
I don't know him.
Thank you, Rafael.
You'll be missed.
MIGUEL ÁNGEL, "THE GODFATHER" HEAD OF THE GUADALAJARA CARTEL [journalist.]
This unfortunate event has stirred an unprecedented diplomatic crisis between Mexico and the USA.
In 1985, the Mexican drug business was controlled by the Guadalajara cartel The cartel was run by Miguel Ángel, "The Godfather," who had a group of drug lords under his command.
El Chapo was working for him with hopes of becoming a drug lord MIGUEL ÁNGEL'S HOUSE Set it up.
What's up, Chapo? I'm on my way out.
The tunnel is finished.
I'm ready to throw some blow to the other side.
I can move several tons across the border.
You only have to put me in contact with Escobar.
[engine sputters.]
You're trying to bite off more than you can chew.
It's the quickest and safest way to move it across.
Our man in Colombia is Amado, not you.
Leave it to him.
Keep working with marijuana.
And don't screw it up.
There's plenty of cocaine for everybody, Miguel Ángel.
[engine turns over.]
The more we move across the border, the better.
Stop with all that crap.
If you really want to help the organization, go pick Amado up at the airport.
I'm not a chauffeur.
You work for me.
And right now, that's what I want you to do.
[plane flies overhead.]
What now? Working as a chauffeur now? WORKERS' INSTITUTIONAL PARTY [keys clinking.]
- [Miguel Ángel.]
Amado! - [Amado.]
My dear Miguel! - How was your trip? - Great.
How are the guys? Fine? [phone dials.]
What's up, Barranquillero? Are we going to do some business or not? [Chapo.]
Don't let me down.
Introduce me to Escobar.
Let's go, Rayo! Barranquillero is waiting for us.
Come on! Wait a second, buddy.
I thought the boss said no.
He said he wouldn't introduce me to Escobar.
He never said I couldn't introduce myself.
[Rayo over radio.]
I hope you're sure about this.
ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA PABLO ESCOBAR'S ESTATE They are going to kill us, buddy.
[car door opens.]
I'm Joaquín Guzmán Loera.
Call Barranquillero.
We're his friends from Guadalajara.
All right, partner.
This is your only chance.
- What the fuck are you doing here? - I've told you already.
Call Barranquillero.
García.
Someone is looking for Barranquillero.
[car approaching.]
[car door opens.]
[steps approaching.]
Is he going to see me? If not, you'd be dead already.
García.
This is Chapo.
Chapo, García.
You only get five minutes, okay? [García.]
Sir.
Don Pablo.
Thanks for seeing me today.
Listen to me, you son of a bitch.
Barranquillero may trust you, but I don't.
Do something that feels off, and I'll kill you, son of a bitch.
Miguel Ángel didn't send me here.
I came on my own account.
This kid turned out to have some balls.
As your people say, small but spicy.
Okay, then Tell me quickly.
I don't have time.
We're getting tired of Amado's late deliveries.
You're saying you can deliver faster? Exactly, Mr.
Pablo.
Amado delivers in five days.
I can do it in three.
No, my boy.
If he wants, he can do that too.
He's just too damn lazy.
Hey, man, take this shorty away.
- Come on, move.
- Forty-eight hours.
I can move it across the border and deliver in 48 hours.
Chapo Do you know what happens to those who fail me? Yes, Mr.
Pablo.
So, you can deliver one ton in 48 hours? Prove it and we can start talking business.
[steps moving away.]
[Chapo.]
We need to cross one ton.
Split it between the two airplanes.
[Rayo.]
Forty-eight hours, buddy? Are you out of your mind? Keep an eye on García.
He shouldn't start counting until the planes take off.
Okay.
I'll see that everything is set to land in Cancún.
All right.
How is it going, García? Fine? [Rayo.]
Come on, guys! Quick! I'm in a hurry.
Take this.
Come on.
CANCÚN INTERNATIONAL AIRPOR GENERAL DIRECTOR FEDERICO FERNÁNDEZ [airplane lifting off.]
[Joaquín.]
Rayo, can you hear me? The airport director is in.
Let me know when you are ready to take off.
[grunts, groans.]
[grunts, groans.]
[man.]
Guys! [man.]
Hurry up! Let's go! [moans.]
Here he is, sir.
[Miguel Ángel.]
You thought you would get away with it? - What the hell did I tell you? - You would have done the same thing.
Don't give me that shit, Chapo.
It's the end of the line.
Let me do this.
If I'm successful, you'll have more benefits as the boss.
[sighs.]
If I fail I'm going to die anyway.
Rules are rules.
And you broke all of them.
I saw the opportunity and I just took it.
Escobar is not happy with Amado's late deliveries.
If I can deliver in 48 hours, he'll do more business with us.
It's a win-win situation, Don Miguel.
This son of a bitch thinks he's a badass.
[Amado.]
Let him try, Miguel.
When he fails, Escobar will do us a favor and kill him.
[gun clicks.]
[Escobar.]
Chapo Do you know what happens to those who fail me? [airplane flying.]
- [Chapo.]
We'll take off in 20 minutes.
- All right, buddy.
García! [Chapo.]
Welcome to Mexico! Ready to fly to Tecate? Let me remind you that you only have 36 hours left.
I'll have time to spare, son of a bitch.
Conrado, the Party Leader wants to see you.
He's in the meeting room.
WORKERS' INSTITUTIONAL PARTY [party leader.]
Listen, guys! I sacked your useless boss for being such an asshole.
Now, I want to hear your advice.
Let's see how badass you are.
The Governor of Jalisco is trying to escape the fold.
How can we avoid that? You tell me.
My advice is to reconcile, sir.
If we organize a meeting with the governor, he'll understand it's best to stay on your side.
By avoiding confrontation, his loyalty towards the party and towards you will strengthen.
Do you agree? No.
In this case, I recommend you go for the scandal.
A media scandal with the information we have that the governor was laundering Caro Quintero's money with that, he'll weaken for sure.
We can take advantage that the news of Quintero's arrest - is fresh out of the oven.
- [journalist speaks on TV.]
We can even threaten him with a few days in prison with his ex-partner.
Corruption Rafael Caro Quintero and his partners tax evasion and money laundering That would only scare him for a while.
It's not going to win his loyalty.
Sorry, sir, but someone who was a traitor once will never be loyal again.
Is there something else? Yes, if I may add something, I think that by scaring him a bit he'll return to the fold, but only a good ass-kicking will guarantee that he'll never leave the fold again.
DEADLINE FOR DELIVERY [whistles.]
[man on radio.]
Everything okay in Guadalajara.
[García.]
Thank you, sir.
I heard landing here was more complicated, but so far everything is great.
[Rayo.]
Great? The real fun is only starting.
Let's go.
[airplane flying.]
[Chapo.]
Engineer, we're flying over Sonora.
Get the tunnel ready.
Attention, guys! We're almost there! [García.]
We're almost there? Is that the runway? That's the one! [airplane flying.]
[García.]

[airplane approaching.]
What's he doing? He's flying too fast.
Give me the radio.
[airplane approaching.]
The runway is not that long.
You're flying too fast.
Slow down! Slow down! He'll crash! Slow down! Slow down! [airplane crashes.]
Shit! What happened, García? - For the nerves.

[trucks approaching.]
What's up, Commander? What can we do for you? Tell your men to put the guns down.
What happened, Commander? Is your payment late? I have direct orders to seize this shit.
Don't give me that shit.
Direct orders from whom? You'll have to ask my boss.
There's no need to ask questions, buddy.

The boss was very clear, Chapo.
Put the guns down! Otherwise, you'll be the first one to die.
Put the guns down.

We're ready, Joaquín! [opening truck door.]
[train passing.]
Rayo, do you copy me? What's up, buddy? [Chapo.]
We're being followed.
It's the DEA! Don't worry, the drugs are secure.
They aren't after that, they're coming after us! Speed up! Closer! Rayo! Rayo! Do you copy me? [Chapo.]

What's up, Peter? DEADLINE FOR DELIVERY [Chapo.]
You're getting into trouble, man.
An American cannot arrest people in Mexico.
And you shouldn't kill a DEA agent, but you did it.
Camarena's murder was Caro Quintero's doing.
And he's in prison.
Why do we have to get into trouble because of it? The only one in trouble here is you, Chapo.
I've got strict orders.
Go teach them who's in charge so that they won't forget it.
The one with bad memory here is you.
You're no longer interested in securing your future? You said so yourself.
Your retirement pension wasn't even enough to pay for your whores.
Don't worry about me.
We get a bonus for each drug lord that we capture.
A ten million dollar bonus? Ten million? All yours.
And five extra for your guys.
