Now we're talking!
Hey!
So, are we going to eat?
I don't know. Where?
- Let's gettortas de la barda.
- Awesome.
- It's settled.
- Isn't that a Tampico thing?
No, there are some places
by the border tower.
You know what?
Why don't we get stuffed crabs
from El Sirenito?
Yeah.
- I'm in.
- Finally, a good idea, Toro.
Since I'm the one driving,
we're getting thetortas.
All right, Captain.
At ease, soldier.
You guys okay?
- I'm on the right.
- I'm behind you!
I've got you.
Okay, assholes!
Twelve o'clock! He's mine, Pollo!
Holy fuck!
Get off!
Shit.
I've got you covered.
- My shoulder!
- Motherfuckers.
It's dislocated. I'll pop it back in.
- Okay.
- Breathe. This is gonna hurt. One
- There we go.
- Damn it.
Report! Everyone good?
Toro standing!
Pollo standing!

COUNTERSTRIKE
72 HOURS EARLIER
Of all the stupid things you do,
smoking is the worst.
What do you want? I'm nervous.
You wouldn't be
if you had told him to wear a condom.
It'll be fine.
Don't worry.
I'm here for you.
Let's go. We have to get moving.
I'm gonna throw up.
Wait. Hold on a second.
I'll pull over. Wait.
What happened? What's wrong?
Are you okay?
What's wrong? What did you see?
Shit!
Here. There it is.
- There.
- Come on.
Let's see.
You're screwed.
- No way.
- Four spades.
- And the queen.
- No way. Let's see.
It can't be. Let's see.
- I'm out, Tuco.
- Sore loser. Why are you leaving?
I have work to do.
- How much do I owe you, Maik?
- What was it? Two beers.
- Sixty pesos.
- Here.
One is on the house.
No. I'm buying.
No way. I've got this.
- Why are you so ungrateful?
- I know you, Tuco.
You pay for two drinks
then act like you're buying all my booze.
No way!
See that, Maik?
I tried to be nice. Oh well.
Here. Keep the change.
Well, shit. It's 830 for what you drank.
You still owe me 330, Tuco.
Damn. You're like a gas station.
You raise the prices without warning.
- Put it on my tab.
- It's lost money.
I haven't seen you in ages.
You never change.
He hasn't been around in like three years.
- Damn. That long?
- Yeah.
- And you never change.
- Nor will he.
- Good to see you.
- Take care.
- See you.
- What? I'm leaving too.
- You're going somewhere else.
- No more for you.
No, wait for me.
Officer, help me. We were just
No. Get inside. Don't let them see us.
Where are you going?
- Quick, assholes.
- Know who that is?
- Romn. Brother of El Aguijn Daz.
- Mom!
- Get off!
- What is it?
- Let go!
- Let her go!
- Hands off!
- Why were you there?
- Let her go!
- I'm talking. What did you see?
- Put her in.
- You see that?
Who knows what they did to get kidnapped.
No! This isn't our problem.
We can't do anything.
- Get moving.
- Put her in the car.
- In the car!
- No, sir, really.
Oh, nothing?
Look.
- Let go!
- Why were you there?
What's going on now, Tuco?
- Come inside.
- Shut up.
- We didn't see a thing.
- What did you see, bitch?
Knock it off. Let them go.
Who the fuck is this?
Nobody. I just came for them.
Well, fuck. Peln!
Let her go!
Get down!
Get inside!
Motherfucker
Drop the weapon.
Drop it!
You're fucked, asshole.
What the hell is going on?
Nothing. Relax.
Put the gun down and let him go. Now!
I'm in the army.
You're in the fucking army?
This man saved us from being kidnapped.
Stay quiet, ma'am.
You, drop the weapon!
Listen carefully.
I'm first captain
of the Mexican Armed Forces.
Here's my ID.
Captain.
What's your name, Agent?
Mrquez.
Agent Mrquez.
Agent Mrquez, what now?
Yes, Agent Mrquez.
What now?
Drop your weapons.
Now! Put them down.
Put them down, guys.
Officers, proceed!
Motherfucking GI!
Holy shit.
Captain, listen.
We found a mass grave
a few kilometers from here.
Near the sewer ridge.
That's why they wanted to kidnap us.
SPECIAL FORCES
MEXICAN ARMY
Secretary, I'll be very clear
about what I said.
Under no circumstances will I allow
my fallen men to be just a statistic.
Colonel, I'd like to tell you
that the soldiers' information
didn't come from my department.
But I'm not sure.
We're going after Josefo Uras
and everyone responsible.
Understood, Colonel.
You have my full support.
Come in.
Sorry, Colonel.
I didn't know you were busy.
Come on in.
- Good afternoon.
- Hello.
This is Captain Guerrero.
Pleasure to meet you.
You're not from here, right?
No. I'm from Sinaloa.
The captain came
to carry out the operation.
You have my full support, Captain.
When you're free, I'll take you to eat
the best scallops in all of Mexico.
You should go, Captain.
You'll have three days' leave.
Great. I'll come get you tomorrow.
Thank you,
but it's my youngest soldier's birthday.
We agreed to celebrate.
Okay, then.
I'll leave you, Colonel.
- I'll walk you out.
- Thank you.
Captain.
REMAINS FOUND IN MASS GRAVE
Ten bodies were found in a hidden grave
on the Valle Hermoso highway.
They were ten soldiers,
presumably tortured and killed.
The Secretariat identified them
as the group
that disappeared in an operation
to arrest drug trafficker Josefo Uras,
leader of the El Enjambre cartel.
Don't you dare come in here,
you wicked creatures!
- We're not creatures.
- And we're not wicked.
Very good. Come in.
There.
Great.
There.
You too?
A little or a lot?
- A little.
- There.
- Oh.
- That's sweet, darling. Thanks so much.
Get dressed!
Hurry.
Keep your fingers out of that.
What did I tell you?
- Use a fork.
- Use a fork.
You really screwed things up
with those women.
It was that asshole El Marrano.
He buried the soldiers there.
What a bunch of idiots.
I spoke to the secretary.
And that GI isn't just any soldier, Romn.
He's Special Forces.
He's a Murcilago?
One of the guys who killed Dad.
Fucking bastards.
And Murcilagos
Can only be killed from behind.
And that's how we'll get them.
From behind, motherfucker!
I set up a meeting with that secretary.
Let's go.
When did you take the pill?
When I woke up.
One more hour, but you know what?
Take it now.
Why hasn't the pharmacy delivered it yet?
Here they are.
- You fucking bitch!
- No! Leave us alone!
No!
No!
- Good morning.
- Morning.
They assigned you to make copies, Pollo.
Is Tanque retiring?
What's that?
I'll sign for you.
- Thanks.
- Pay attention.
Thanks, Pollo.
Go on, Lieutenant.
The target is Eduardo Medina Gutirrez,
known as Lalo "El Marrano."
He's a key figure in the organization
of Josefo "El Aguijn" Uras.
The main suspect in the massacre
of our Piedras Negras unit.
On the property, we have
Tres Coronas Seafood Restaurant
Owned by Eduardo Medina.
Csar!
We might negotiate his freedom
in exchange for information
to catch El Aguijn.
A witness under protection.
That's right.
He's the weak link in Uras's group.
He has valuable information.
It's a good strategy.
El Cuaco. He's got the girls.
Just say the word.
Are you a moron?
Take them to the house.
Take them to the sawmill house.
Sergeant Lovato, report.
Commander, there's movement on the site.
There are some civilians inside already.
And as you can see, more are arriving.
Sergeant Quetzal, Lieutenant Atenea,
and Toro will go undercover.
Combo and Lieutenant Stum, with me.
Try not to be late, Tanque.
- It was one time.
- And you almost got us killed.
If there are no questions, we're ready.
We head out in 15. Good luck.
Green.
Josefo won't let it go.
- Chill.
- Drop the weapon. Put it down.
Stay calm!
Come on! Put down your guns.
Come on.
You know the drill.
Drop the gun!
Don't make us use force. Be honorable.
Alpha, secure them!
- Going in.
- Going in.
Going in.
- Cover the back!
- C4!
- Lower your hand.
- Come on! Up! Move it!
Up!
- Come on!
- Clear!
Advance!
Okay. Moving out.
- What's going on?
- Bravo, report!
Clear!
Advance!
Let's go!
- Let's go! Advance!
- Let's go!
MEXICAN ARMY
I'll cover.
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
Condor to Falcon. Arriving.
Securing the area.
- Good afternoon, Agent.
- Hello, Captain.
How are you?
I'm delivering the prisoners at 5:47 p.m.
That's right.
- Unload them.
- Officers.
Get them out.
- Move it.
- Scoot further forward.
Further.
- Two more.
- Walk. Go.
Move it, asshole.
Down. Come on. Move it.
Captain.
Captain.
Sorry to ask, but
How many days' leave will we have?
I want to know if I can see my family.
- What gives?
- What, man?
Aren't we celebrating Pollo's 15th?
- Listen to that!
- That's his son.
Fifteen! Pollito is quite the trickster.
- C4.
- Okay, enough!
Let's head out!
- Yes, Captain.
- Let's go.
I read the report, and I can tell
the operation to catch that guy
was carried out in a calm manner.
Sergeant Lovato neutralized one
in front of the tourists.
The only casualty.
Good.
Very good.
There's only one way
to catch those fuckers.
- And it's in broad daylight.
- That's right.
Captain, we're filing the paperwork
to have your team's support
apprehending Josefo Uras.
I didn't think I'd say it,
but that's why I came.
We aren't leaving
until we catch that asshole.
If I need to request a hearing, I will.
Very good.
I'll let you know when I get an answer.
Enjoy your weekend
and give my best to your comrade.
Will do, Colonel.
- Can your camera really see that far?
- It can.
- No, we're too far away.
- It's really powerful.
We'll see.
Watch out.
Goddamn.
Wow! Look at that.
Itcansee far.
What's up, Secretary?
Josefo.
- Let's get down to business.
- Here.
- Want to count it?
- No, it's fine.
Sir.
Captain Guerrero's phone
is under constant surveillance.
You can monitor him here.
He's on leave tomorrow.
What's up?
Hey.
Did you record the hand off?
The whole thing.
Fucking Murcilago
Captured that prick El Marrano.
Fuck this.
What will we do now?
Stop acting tough.
We'll take out
that fucking GI from behind.
No showing off.
You got that?
Hey!
Understood?
I'll give you the chance
To avenge Dad.
Don't let me down, man.
All right.
For Dad.
How are you, sweetie?
Listen, the captain says
we'll have three days off.
We'll use them to cross the border.
So I won't see you.
Wow! Just look at that.
I'm wearing my chain.
I never take it off, I swear.
I love you, baby.
Listen, I'm going to go, sweetie.
I love you. I love you more.
See you. Bye.
Take care. I love you.
Lieutenant, I'll help you.
Don't trouble yourself.
Oh, but there's nothing in here.
I'm gonna buy some clothes for Diana.
Oh God.
That's why kids get bullied
at school, Tanque.
Yeah, that's true.
That's not what I imagined.
What's this, Captain?
I know the colonel is our superior,
but what the fuck?
Check out this old junker he gave us.
I had the same reaction
when they assigned you to me.
And you're the toughest of the bunch.
Nah, she's a beaut. A classic.
Just like you.
No disrespect.
I meant it respectfully.
Come on!
- Pollo!
- Yeah?
Before we go, take one of those selfies.
Okay.
Get together, all of you.
That's right.
- Okay, here we go.
- Hold on. Hueso!
- What?
- Take a photo of us.
- Better, right?
- Yeah, man.
Just flip the camera.
Smile. One, two, three.
- Toro standing!
- Pollo standing!
- Combo standing!
- Tanque standing!
Load!
Report!
Three full, Captain.
- Two and a half.
- One half full.
- Full magazine. 40 rounds.
- Good.
Combo, give Pollo that rifle.
Yes, Captain.
- Here, Pollo.
- Thanks, Combo.
Canica! Get here now, fucker.
I'm on my way.
Shit!
Fan out!
I'll cover you, Pollo!
One, two, three!
We've got them. We have them surrounded.
Toro, Pollo, in position!
Motherfuckers.
We've gotta move.
Keep them back!
- Out!
- Hurry, dog!
Ready?
- How many left?
- Three at 12 o'clock!
- Pollo, report.
- One left, Captain!
Alpha, Bravo, maneuver!
Grenade!
Are you okay?
- C4 standing!
- Combo standing!
- Tanque standing!
- Toro standing!
Pollo standing!
Bro,
the Murcilago fucked me over.
It was him.
Kill him, man.
Kill them all.
Move out!
Combo, I need your help!
- I'll cover you!
- Pollo, come on.
Go! I'll cover you.
Stop, asshole!
Drop your weapon, asshole!
Drop the weapon!
Drop that shit.
You fucked up, Murcilago.
You are screwed.
You are all screwed.
I'm not the one spitting up blood.
Who sold us out?
Pollo, pass me his phone.
Yes, Captain.
Captain?
That's Sacristn Uras, right?
There will be more.
And they'll get here before help does.
These guys were sent by Josefo
and knew our location.
- Someone at the base sold us out.
- We're vulnerable here by the highway.
We're about
25 miles from the base.
And 13 from the checkpoint.
We have a shitload of options.
ARMY
Do you have eyes on the colonel?
He's in a hearing with the governor.
Listen up.
When he is done with his meeting,
ask him to authorize
an extraction for my squad.
Our identity is compromised.
We'll walk to the Brownsville checkpoint
and arrive in six hours.
I'll send backup now.
Your location, C4.
No, they won't get here
before the bad guys do.
We're at a disadvantage here.
Brownsville checkpoint, six hours.
See you there.
We'll walk to the Brownsville checkpoint.
Got that?
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Proceed!
Go. Quickly.
How many times did I tell you?
How many times did I tell you?
Tell me how many fucking times I said it!
Always dicking around like a badass.
Always fucking around like a badass.
How many times did I say,
"Change"? "Change!"
You lived your whole life like an asshole,
and you're gonna die like one too!
Why didn't you listen to me, motherfucker?
Why, man?
I love you, asshole.
I love you, bro.
The dogs are on their way.
Careful.
They could forget who's their boss.
Most are former military.
Or MS-13.
Here's his location.
They're headed to El Paso.
Follow him.
Get these fuckers in line.
Let's get moving!
- Two minutes to grab some water.
- Yes, Captain.
Pollo.
- Give me your weapon.
- Sure.
This guy. The dude came
with a stash of drugs.
Poor kids.
Why are you switching it?
I always do when I start a mission.
It's to
To help me pull the trigger.
They're coming, right?
- How many of them?
- Nine.
- Fuck.
- We gotta reload. There are too many.
Too fucking late.
- Pollo.
- Yes, Captain.
Watch it!
Now there are seven.
- Fuck it. Retreat. Take cover.
- Moving out.
Come on, Captain!
Move, fuckers!
Careful, man.
Son of a bitch!
Asshole!
- You're fucked!
- Behind you!
- Get in there!
- Cover!
Quickly!
Pollo!
I'm all right, Captain!
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
Murcilagos!
Clear. Report.
Combo standing!
Toro standing!
Tanque standing.
Sit.
- Sit him down.
- Put him down.
What happened, Pollo?
Nothing, Combo.
The bullet didn't go in. I'm fine.
- Let's see.
- It didn't go in.
Just grazed me.
- I will bandage you up.
- Okay.
Make it really tight.
- There.
- Fuck.
That's it. You do it.
Fuck.
Oh man. Thanks.
How is he?
Can I use your gun?
We have to cauterize it.
Hang on.
Hang in there.
Come here.
Hang in there. Bite this.
There.
One, two
There.
All right.
There we go.
Done.
We're done.
There.
Lift your head.
- It's done.
- Lieutenant.
You've earned them.
Hold it, fuckers!
They fucking took them all out.
But they're not far.
Soldiers, your phones.
Yeah.
Goddamn motherfuckers.
Son of a fucking bitch.
- Let's go.
- Yeah.
Dogs!
With the five we found
That makes 18 comrades
they've taken from us.
- So get your shit together!
- Yes, sir!
Toro!
Cover our six.
We're going to rest.
All right.
How is it going, Pollo?
It was just a scratch, Combo, but
I'm okay.
Okay. Let me see.
Hold on.
I'll tighten it.
Here we go.
- That's it.
- Fuck.
Just stop bleeding, man. Okay?
Let me see.
Your eyes.
Open your mouth.
Tongue.
I don't want you to get dehydrated.
God damn it, Toro.
My sneakers.
Did you see?
They're all messed up.
It's my first time wearing them.
Yeah.
They are pretty messed up.
But they're fucking cool.
How are you, soldier?
Ready for what's next, Toro.
That's right, boss.
Fucking shit.
Tanque isn't doing well.
He's disoriented.
Dehydrated. His wound
is gonna get infected.
Look.
We've been compromised.
What is it, boss?
The secretary betrayed us.
We need to hurry and reach the checkpoint.
We don't have time.
Advance!
Tanque.
Some party we threw you, Pollo.
They say working
on your birthday brings good luck, right?
We have a great fucking job.
When I was a kid,
my dad brought us hunting here.
Right on these trails,
to hunt white-tailed deer.
That explains your aim, kiddo.
Armed men, Captain.
It's the bad guys.
A pit stop would do us some good.
I need to take care of them.
I'm sure there are supplies in there.
A resupply wouldn't hurt, Captain.
Move it, dogs!
Let's go!
Look.
What is it?
Hell yeah!
I thought we were moving away,
not getting closer.
Shut up!
Shut up, you fucking bitch!
You too, bitch!
Fuck.
Doc!
Die, you fucking dog!
Look at me.
You're safe now.
A medical examination
will be offered to you.
My comrade is a doctor.
Take care of them, please.
Toro.
Lend me your knife.
Let's go.
Don't worry. I'll take this off.
Let's see.
I'm a doctor. I'm going to examine you.
Look at me.
What's your name?
- Carla.
- Okay.
What's your name? Can you hear me?
What's your name?
- My name is Luca.
- Luca.
You're gonna be okay.
Go.
That's it.
Where are the bodies?
There, just behind the house.
- Good.
- Look what we found.
Josefo's dogs will be here soon.
We have to be ready for anything.
It's not just us now.
The lives of two defenseless civilians
are in our hands.
It's times like these
That sometimes make me
want to quit the military.
But it's also why I want to continue.
How are the women?
They're in shock.
But they can continue on with us.
Grab enough ammunition, then.
Gear up.
El Aguijn's men are following us.
They're on our heels.
We need to hurry
to the Brownsville checkpoint.
More comrades are waiting
to provide support.
We'll give you bulletproof vests
for your safety.
May I?
Let's go.
Lift your arm.
Damn, this weighs a ton.
Well, yeah.
At first, you hate the fucking vest.
Until it saves your life.
I'm Jorge.
Call me "Pollo" if you want.
And you?
Carla.
Thank you.
We're going in the dark.
Murcilagos.
Murcilagos.
We'll go in formation.
You two, stay in the middle.
Don't worry.
I'll be behind you the whole time.
Just stay close to me, okay?
- Go ahead.
- Get in place.
I'll be behind you.
Don't worry.
No worries.
- Just move with me.
- Are we ready?
Ready?
Move.
- Carla!
- Get her!
Take her in, man!
Bring her!
- You're all going to hell!
- Pollo! Toro!
Pollo, grenade!
Grenade!
- Come on, Pollo.
- Get inside!
Advance!
- Pollo!
- Covering!
- Covering.
- Goddamn.
Coming in!
- Sergeant, are you okay?
- Yes, Captain. Heading upstairs.
Toro! Jorge!
Yes, Captain.
Kill them!
You bastards!
Get out, damn it!
Get out, assholes! Out!
- Fire!
- Let's go!
Die!
Combo, how are the civilians?
They're fine!
- I'll open the perimeter, Captain.
- Understood!
There are so many.
Affirmative.
I don't know
how long we can hold them off.
This is gonna hurt.
This is gonna hurt, Pollo.
They're fucking killing us, man!
They shot you twice.
It's about having faith.
Right? That's what they trained us for.
There are too many of them, Pollo.
What's up, Cobra?
Does that dump have an exit
or duct that goes to the river?
Yes, El Marrano
got the goods out from there.
- Then you're wasting time.
- Dog!
Come with me.
- Now! Let's go!
- Yeah!
The first thing you two need
Is a magazine.
It goes in like this.
A firm push, and it goes in.
This is the safety.
You can't pull the trigger from here.
Your finger goes here.
This piece here, with two fingers.
Pull it firmly and let go.
And it's ready to shoot.
That's it.
Combo!
Up here!
Tanque!
Cover this side!
Tanque, help outside!
Copy.
I'll go over there.
You stay and cover
this part of the window.
- I'll check on Pollo.
- I'll cover.
Cobra is going to attack them from behind.
Distract them for 20 minutes
while she reaches the duct.
- Got it?
- Got it!
I'll cover you.
Upstairs!
It's Pollo, man.
Shit. Coming.
- Where was it?
- Here, in my thigh, Combo.
Let me see it.
Holy shit!
I'll pack it.
Bite down.
Here I go.
Hang in there.
Done. I'm done.
- Thanks, Combo. Thanks.
- Fucking Pollo.
Pollo.
What's up, Toro?
You never told me
who helped you pull the trigger.
My brother.
He was a firefighter.
But during Hurricane Ingrid
He didn't make it out.
And this watch
Was his.
He's always with me.
Always.
Are they following you because of us?
No, they're not following us
because of you.
We're not getting out, are we?
Nobody gets left behind.
We go in together, we get out together.
Just what we needed.
They've got an M2!
Help me. Quickly. To the couch.
Hurry!
Take cover!
Hurry, man!
- Move!
- Let's go!
- Loaded.
- Open fire!
Fire!
That's right, goddamn GIs!
You're all fucked now!
Shit!
- Counterstrike.
- Go!
Are you okay?
Hurry! Let's go!
Cover me!
I've got you!
Hell yeah!
Go!
Get to the house! I'll cover you.
Combo!
Left!
Right!
- Cover me, Pollo!
- Covering!
How are you, man?
He was mine, you little jerk.
I am not afraid of you, assholes!
Ammo!
Report!
Combo standing!
Pollo standing!
Toro standing!
Dmaso, report!
Tanque standing!
I need ammo!
- I'll bring it to you, Captain.
- No! Don't go!
Are you okay?
I'll get the doctor.
Take cover!
- Run!
- No!
- Run!
- No!
Pollo!
Tanque.
Tanque!
Tanque!
Uras!
Enough!
It's over!
Pollo!
Pollo!
God damn it!
Enough!
That's enough! Enough!
It's over!
Enough!
It's over! Enough!
It's over now.
I'll put my gun down.
I'll take out the one on my waist.
That's it.
It's over.
Pollo!
That's right, fucking GIs.
You'll get your certificates
for good behavior.
For sending me to the "slammer,"
as you say.
To be with my buddies.
Murcilagos, pieces of shit!
No!
What?
Are you gonna shoot me, you queer?
Go ahead.
We have honor.
Defend yourself!
You're in big trouble, bitch.
I should kill you.
It won't be that easy, fucker.
You're gonna pay for all you've done.
You messed with the Special Forces.
We have a prisoner.
Notify the Justice Department.

Now we're talking!
Hey!
So, are we going to eat?
I don't know. Where?
- Let's gettortas de la barda.
- Awesome.
- It's settled.
- Isn't that a Tampico thing?
No, there are some places
by the border tower.
You know what?
Why don't we get stuffed crabs
from El Sirenito?
Yeah.
- I'm in.
- Finally, a good idea, Toro.
Since I'm the one driving,
we're getting thetortas.
All right, Captain.
At ease, soldier.
You guys okay?
- I'm on the right.
- I'm behind you!
I've got you.
Okay, assholes!
Twelve o'clock! He's mine, Pollo!
Holy fuck!
Get off!
Shit.
I've got you covered.
- My shoulder!
- Motherfuckers.
It's dislocated. I'll pop it back in.
- Okay.
- Breathe. This is gonna hurt. One
- There we go.
- Damn it.
Report! Everyone good?
Toro standing!
Pollo standing!

- Combo standing!
COUNTERSTRIKE
72 HOURS EARLIER
Of all the stupid things you do,
smoking is the worst.
What do you want? I'm nervous.
You wouldn't be
if you had told him to wear a condom.
It'll be fine.
Don't worry.
I'm here for you.
Let's go. We have to get moving.
I'm gonna throw up.
Wait. Hold on a second.
I'll pull over. Wait.
What happened? What's wrong?
Are you okay?
What's wrong? What did you see?
Shit!
Here. There it is.
- There.
- Come on.
Let's see.
You're screwed.
- No way.
- Four spades.
- And the queen.
- No way. Let's see.
It can't be. Let's see.
- I'm out, Tuco.
- Sore loser. Why are you leaving?
I have work to do.
- How much do I owe you, Maik?
- What was it? Two beers.
- Sixty pesos.
- Here.
One is on the house.
No. I'm buying.
No way. I've got this.
- Why are you so ungrateful?
- I know you, Tuco.
You pay for two drinks
then act like you're buying all my booze.
No way!
See that, Maik?
I tried to be nice. Oh well.
Here. Keep the change.
Well, shit. It's 830 for what you drank.
You still owe me 330, Tuco.
Damn. You're like a gas station.
You raise the prices without warning.
- Put it on my tab.
- It's lost money.
I haven't seen you in ages.
You never change.
He hasn't been around in like three years.
- Damn. That long?
- Yeah.
- And you never change.
- Nor will he.
- Good to see you.
- Take care.
- See you.
- What? I'm leaving too.
- You're going somewhere else.
- No more for you.
No, wait for me.
Officer, help me. We were just
No. Get inside. Don't let them see us.
Where are you going?
- Quick, assholes.
- Know who that is?
- Romn. Brother of El Aguijn Daz.
- Mom!
- Get off!
- What is it?
- Let go!
- Let her go!
- Hands off!
- Why were you there?
- Let her go!
- I'm talking. What did you see?
- Put her in.
- You see that?
Who knows what they did to get kidnapped.
No! This isn't our problem.
We can't do anything.
- Get moving.
- Put her in the car.
- In the car!
- No, sir, really.
Oh, nothing?
Look.
- Let go!
- Why were you there?
What's going on now, Tuco?
- Come inside.
- Shut up.
- We didn't see a thing.
- What did you see, bitch?
Knock it off. Let them go.
Who the fuck is this?
Nobody. I just came for them.
Well, fuck. Peln!
Let her go!
Get down!
Get inside!
Motherfucker
Drop the weapon.
Drop it!
You're fucked, asshole.
What the hell is going on?
Nothing. Relax.
Put the gun down and let him go. Now!
I'm in the army.
You're in the fucking army?
This man saved us from being kidnapped.
Stay quiet, ma'am.
You, drop the weapon!
Listen carefully.
I'm first captain
of the Mexican Armed Forces.
Here's my ID.
Captain.
What's your name, Agent?
Mrquez.
Agent Mrquez.
Agent Mrquez, what now?
Yes, Agent Mrquez.
What now?
Drop your weapons.
Now! Put them down.
Put them down, guys.
Officers, proceed!
Motherfucking GI!
Holy shit.
Captain, listen.
We found a mass grave
a few kilometers from here.
Near the sewer ridge.
That's why they wanted to kidnap us.
SPECIAL FORCES
MEXICAN ARMY
Secretary, I'll be very clear
about what I said.
Under no circumstances will I allow
my fallen men to be just a statistic.
Colonel, I'd like to tell you
that the soldiers' information
didn't come from my department.
But I'm not sure.
We're going after Josefo Uras
and everyone responsible.
Understood, Colonel.
You have my full support.
Come in.
Sorry, Colonel.
I didn't know you were busy.
Come on in.
- Good afternoon.
- Hello.
This is Captain Guerrero.
Pleasure to meet you.
You're not from here, right?
No. I'm from Sinaloa.
The captain came
to carry out the operation.
You have my full support, Captain.
When you're free, I'll take you to eat
the best scallops in all of Mexico.
You should go, Captain.
You'll have three days' leave.
Great. I'll come get you tomorrow.
Thank you,
but it's my youngest soldier's birthday.
We agreed to celebrate.
Okay, then.
I'll leave you, Colonel.
- I'll walk you out.
- Thank you.
Captain.
REMAINS FOUND IN MASS GRAVE
Ten bodies were found in a hidden grave
on the Valle Hermoso highway.
They were ten soldiers,
presumably tortured and killed.
The Secretariat identified them
as the group
that disappeared in an operation
to arrest drug trafficker Josefo Uras,
leader of the El Enjambre cartel.
Don't you dare come in here,
you wicked creatures!
- We're not creatures.
- And we're not wicked.
Very good. Come in.
There.
Great.
There.
You too?
A little or a lot?
- A little.
- There.
- Oh.
- That's sweet, darling. Thanks so much.
Get dressed!
Hurry.
Keep your fingers out of that.
What did I tell you?
- Use a fork.
- Use a fork.
You really screwed things up
with those women.
It was that asshole El Marrano.
He buried the soldiers there.
What a bunch of idiots.
I spoke to the secretary.
And that GI isn't just any soldier, Romn.
He's Special Forces.
He's a Murcilago?
One of the guys who killed Dad.
Fucking bastards.
And Murcilagos
Can only be killed from behind.
And that's how we'll get them.
From behind, motherfucker!
I set up a meeting with that secretary.
Let's go.
When did you take the pill?
When I woke up.
One more hour, but you know what?
Take it now.
Why hasn't the pharmacy delivered it yet?
Here they are.
- You fucking bitch!
- No! Leave us alone!
No!
No!
- Good morning.
- Morning.
They assigned you to make copies, Pollo.
Is Tanque retiring?
What's that?
I'll sign for you.
- Thanks.
- Pay attention.
Thanks, Pollo.
Go on, Lieutenant.
The target is Eduardo Medina Gutirrez,
known as Lalo "El Marrano."
He's a key figure in the organization
of Josefo "El Aguijn" Uras.
The main suspect in the massacre
of our Piedras Negras unit.
On the property, we have
Tres Coronas Seafood Restaurant
Owned by Eduardo Medina.
Csar!
We might negotiate his freedom
in exchange for information
to catch El Aguijn.
A witness under protection.
That's right.
He's the weak link in Uras's group.
He has valuable information.
It's a good strategy.
El Cuaco. He's got the girls.
Just say the word.
Are you a moron?
Take them to the house.
Take them to the sawmill house.
Sergeant Lovato, report.
Commander, there's movement on the site.
There are some civilians inside already.
And as you can see, more are arriving.
Sergeant Quetzal, Lieutenant Atenea,
and Toro will go undercover.
Combo and Lieutenant Stum, with me.
Try not to be late, Tanque.
- It was one time.
- And you almost got us killed.
If there are no questions, we're ready.
We head out in 15. Good luck.
Green.
Josefo won't let it go.
- Chill.
- Drop the weapon. Put it down.
Stay calm!
Come on! Put down your guns.
Come on.
You know the drill.
Drop the gun!
Don't make us use force. Be honorable.
Alpha, secure them!
- Going in.
- Going in.
Going in.
- Cover the back!
- C4!
- Lower your hand.
- Come on! Up! Move it!
Up!
- Come on!
- Clear!
Advance!
Okay. Moving out.
- What's going on?
- Bravo, report!
Clear!
Advance!
Let's go!
- Let's go! Advance!
- Let's go!
MEXICAN ARMY
I'll cover.
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
Condor to Falcon. Arriving.
Securing the area.
- Good afternoon, Agent.
- Hello, Captain.
How are you?
I'm delivering the prisoners at 5:47 p.m.
That's right.
- Unload them.
- Officers.
Get them out.
- Move it.
- Scoot further forward.
Further.
- Two more.
- Walk. Go.
Move it, asshole.
Down. Come on. Move it.
Captain.
Captain.
Sorry to ask, but
How many days' leave will we have?
I want to know if I can see my family.
- What gives?
- What, man?
Aren't we celebrating Pollo's 15th?
- Listen to that!
- That's his son.
Fifteen! Pollito is quite the trickster.
- C4.
- Okay, enough!
Let's head out!
- Yes, Captain.
- Let's go.
I read the report, and I can tell
the operation to catch that guy
was carried out in a calm manner.
Sergeant Lovato neutralized one
in front of the tourists.
The only casualty.
Good.
Very good.
There's only one way
to catch those fuckers.
- And it's in broad daylight.
- That's right.
Captain, we're filing the paperwork
to have your team's support
apprehending Josefo Uras.
I didn't think I'd say it,
but that's why I came.
We aren't leaving
until we catch that asshole.
If I need to request a hearing, I will.
Very good.
I'll let you know when I get an answer.
Enjoy your weekend
and give my best to your comrade.
Will do, Colonel.
- Can your camera really see that far?
- It can.
- No, we're too far away.
- It's really powerful.
We'll see.
Watch out.
Goddamn.
Wow! Look at that.
Itcansee far.
What's up, Secretary?
Josefo.
- Let's get down to business.
- Here.
- Want to count it?
- No, it's fine.
Sir.
Captain Guerrero's phone
is under constant surveillance.
You can monitor him here.
He's on leave tomorrow.
What's up?
Hey.
Did you record the hand off?
The whole thing.
Fucking Murcilago
Captured that prick El Marrano.
Fuck this.
What will we do now?
Stop acting tough.
We'll take out
that fucking GI from behind.
No showing off.
You got that?
Hey!
Understood?
I'll give you the chance
To avenge Dad.
Don't let me down, man.
All right.
For Dad.
How are you, sweetie?
Listen, the captain says
we'll have three days off.
We'll use them to cross the border.
So I won't see you.
Wow! Just look at that.
I'm wearing my chain.
I never take it off, I swear.
I love you, baby.
Listen, I'm going to go, sweetie.
I love you. I love you more.
See you. Bye.
Take care. I love you.
Lieutenant, I'll help you.
Don't trouble yourself.
Oh, but there's nothing in here.
I'm gonna buy some clothes for Diana.
Oh God.
That's why kids get bullied
at school, Tanque.
Yeah, that's true.
That's not what I imagined.
What's this, Captain?
I know the colonel is our superior,
but what the fuck?
Check out this old junker he gave us.
I had the same reaction
when they assigned you to me.
And you're the toughest of the bunch.
Nah, she's a beaut. A classic.
Just like you.
No disrespect.
I meant it respectfully.
Come on!
- Pollo!
- Yeah?
Before we go, take one of those selfies.
Okay.
Get together, all of you.
That's right.
- Okay, here we go.
- Hold on. Hueso!
- What?
- Take a photo of us.
- Better, right?
- Yeah, man.
Just flip the camera.
Smile. One, two, three.
- Toro standing!
- Pollo standing!
- Combo standing!
- Tanque standing!
Load!
Report!
Three full, Captain.
- Two and a half.
- One half full.
- Full magazine. 40 rounds.
- Good.
Combo, give Pollo that rifle.
Yes, Captain.
- Here, Pollo.
- Thanks, Combo.
Canica! Get here now, fucker.
I'm on my way.
Shit!
Fan out!
I'll cover you, Pollo!
One, two, three!
We've got them. We have them surrounded.
Toro, Pollo, in position!
Motherfuckers.
We've gotta move.
Keep them back!
- Out!
- Hurry, dog!
Ready?
- How many left?
- Three at 12 o'clock!
- Pollo, report.
- One left, Captain!
Alpha, Bravo, maneuver!
Grenade!
Are you okay?
- C4 standing!
- Combo standing!
- Tanque standing!
- Toro standing!
Pollo standing!
Bro,
the Murcilago fucked me over.
It was him.
Kill him, man.
Kill them all.
Move out!
Combo, I need your help!
- I'll cover you!
- Pollo, come on.
Go! I'll cover you.
Stop, asshole!
Drop your weapon, asshole!
Drop the weapon!
Drop that shit.
You fucked up, Murcilago.
You are screwed.
You are all screwed.
I'm not the one spitting up blood.
Who sold us out?
Pollo, pass me his phone.
Yes, Captain.
Captain?
That's Sacristn Uras, right?
There will be more.
And they'll get here before help does.
These guys were sent by Josefo
and knew our location.
- Someone at the base sold us out.
- We're vulnerable here by the highway.
We're about
25 miles from the base.
And 13 from the checkpoint.
We have a shitload of options.
ARMY
Do you have eyes on the colonel?
He's in a hearing with the governor.
Listen up.
When he is done with his meeting,
ask him to authorize
an extraction for my squad.
Our identity is compromised.
We'll walk to the Brownsville checkpoint
and arrive in six hours.
I'll send backup now.
Your location, C4.
No, they won't get here
before the bad guys do.
We're at a disadvantage here.
Brownsville checkpoint, six hours.
See you there.
We'll walk to the Brownsville checkpoint.
Got that?
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Proceed!
Go. Quickly.
How many times did I tell you?
How many times did I tell you?
Tell me how many fucking times I said it!
Always dicking around like a badass.
Always fucking around like a badass.
How many times did I say,
"Change"? "Change!"
You lived your whole life like an asshole,
and you're gonna die like one too!
Why didn't you listen to me, motherfucker?
Why, man?
I love you, asshole.
I love you, bro.
The dogs are on their way.
Careful.
They could forget who's their boss.
Most are former military.
Or MS-13.
Here's his location.
They're headed to El Paso.
Follow him.
Get these fuckers in line.
Let's get moving!
- Two minutes to grab some water.
- Yes, Captain.
Pollo.
- Give me your weapon.
- Sure.
This guy. The dude came
with a stash of drugs.
Poor kids.
Why are you switching it?
I always do when I start a mission.
It's to
To help me pull the trigger.
They're coming, right?
- How many of them?
- Nine.
- Fuck.
- We gotta reload. There are too many.
Too fucking late.
- Pollo.
- Yes, Captain.
Watch it!
Now there are seven.
- Fuck it. Retreat. Take cover.
- Moving out.
Come on, Captain!
Move, fuckers!
Careful, man.
Son of a bitch!
Asshole!
- You're fucked!
- Behind you!
- Get in there!
- Cover!
Quickly!
Pollo!
I'm all right, Captain!
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
Murcilagos!
Clear. Report.
Combo standing!
Toro standing!
Tanque standing.
Sit.
- Sit him down.
- Put him down.
What happened, Pollo?
Nothing, Combo.
The bullet didn't go in. I'm fine.
- Let's see.
- It didn't go in.
Just grazed me.
- I will bandage you up.
- Okay.
Make it really tight.
- There.
- Fuck.
That's it. You do it.
Fuck.
Oh man. Thanks.
How is he?
Can I use your gun?
We have to cauterize it.
Hang on.
Hang in there.
Come here.
Hang in there. Bite this.
There.
One, two
There.
All right.
There we go.
Done.
We're done.
There.
Lift your head.
- It's done.
- Lieutenant.
You've earned them.
Hold it, fuckers!
They fucking took them all out.
But they're not far.
Soldiers, your phones.
Yeah.
Goddamn motherfuckers.
Son of a fucking bitch.
- Let's go.
- Yeah.
Dogs!
With the five we found
That makes 18 comrades
they've taken from us.
- So get your shit together!
- Yes, sir!
Toro!
Cover our six.
We're going to rest.
All right.
How is it going, Pollo?
It was just a scratch, Combo, but
I'm okay.
Okay. Let me see.
Hold on.
I'll tighten it.
Here we go.
- That's it.
- Fuck.
Just stop bleeding, man. Okay?
Let me see.
Your eyes.
Open your mouth.
Tongue.
I don't want you to get dehydrated.
God damn it, Toro.
My sneakers.
Did you see?
They're all messed up.
It's my first time wearing them.
Yeah.
They are pretty messed up.
But they're fucking cool.
How are you, soldier?
Ready for what's next, Toro.
That's right, boss.
Fucking shit.
Tanque isn't doing well.
He's disoriented.
Dehydrated. His wound
is gonna get infected.
Look.
We've been compromised.
What is it, boss?
The secretary betrayed us.
We need to hurry and reach the checkpoint.
We don't have time.
Advance!
Tanque.
Some party we threw you, Pollo.
They say working
on your birthday brings good luck, right?
We have a great fucking job.
When I was a kid,
my dad brought us hunting here.
Right on these trails,
to hunt white-tailed deer.
That explains your aim, kiddo.
Armed men, Captain.
It's the bad guys.
A pit stop would do us some good.
I need to take care of them.
I'm sure there are supplies in there.
A resupply wouldn't hurt, Captain.
Move it, dogs!
Let's go!
Look.
What is it?
Hell yeah!
I thought we were moving away,
not getting closer.
Shut up!
Shut up, you fucking bitch!
You too, bitch!
Fuck.
Doc!
Die, you fucking dog!
Look at me.
You're safe now.
A medical examination
will be offered to you.
My comrade is a doctor.
Take care of them, please.
Toro.
Lend me your knife.
Let's go.
Don't worry. I'll take this off.
Let's see.
I'm a doctor. I'm going to examine you.
Look at me.
What's your name?
- Carla.
- Okay.
What's your name? Can you hear me?
What's your name?
- My name is Luca.
- Luca.
You're gonna be okay.
Go.
That's it.
Where are the bodies?
There, just behind the house.
- Good.
- Look what we found.
Josefo's dogs will be here soon.
We have to be ready for anything.
It's not just us now.
The lives of two defenseless civilians
are in our hands.
It's times like these
That sometimes make me
want to quit the military.
But it's also why I want to continue.
How are the women?
They're in shock.
But they can continue on with us.
Grab enough ammunition, then.
Gear up.
El Aguijn's men are following us.
They're on our heels.
We need to hurry
to the Brownsville checkpoint.
More comrades are waiting
to provide support.
We'll give you bulletproof vests
for your safety.
May I?
Let's go.
Lift your arm.
Damn, this weighs a ton.
Well, yeah.
At first, you hate the fucking vest.
Until it saves your life.
I'm Jorge.
Call me "Pollo" if you want.
And you?
Carla.
Thank you.
We're going in the dark.
Murcilagos.
Murcilagos.
We'll go in formation.
You two, stay in the middle.
Don't worry.
I'll be behind you the whole time.
Just stay close to me, okay?
- Go ahead.
- Get in place.
I'll be behind you.
Don't worry.
No worries.
- Just move with me.
- Are we ready?
Ready?
Move.
- Carla!
- Get her!
Take her in, man!
Bring her!
- You're all going to hell!
- Pollo! Toro!
Pollo, grenade!
Grenade!
- Come on, Pollo.
- Get inside!
Advance!
- Pollo!
- Covering!
- Covering.
- Goddamn.
Coming in!
- Sergeant, are you okay?
- Yes, Captain. Heading upstairs.
Toro! Jorge!
Yes, Captain.
Kill them!
You bastards!
Get out, damn it!
Get out, assholes! Out!
- Fire!
- Let's go!
Die!
Combo, how are the civilians?
They're fine!
- I'll open the perimeter, Captain.
- Understood!
There are so many.
Affirmative.
I don't know
how long we can hold them off.
This is gonna hurt.
This is gonna hurt, Pollo.
They're fucking killing us, man!
They shot you twice.
It's about having faith.
Right? That's what they trained us for.
There are too many of them, Pollo.
What's up, Cobra?
Does that dump have an exit
or duct that goes to the river?
Yes, El Marrano
got the goods out from there.
- Then you're wasting time.
- Dog!
Come with me.
- Now! Let's go!
- Yeah!
The first thing you two need
Is a magazine.
It goes in like this.
A firm push, and it goes in.
This is the safety.
You can't pull the trigger from here.
Your finger goes here.
This piece here, with two fingers.
Pull it firmly and let go.
And it's ready to shoot.
That's it.
Combo!
Up here!
Tanque!
Cover this side!
Tanque, help outside!
Copy.
I'll go over there.
You stay and cover
this part of the window.
- I'll check on Pollo.
- I'll cover.
Cobra is going to attack them from behind.
Distract them for 20 minutes
while she reaches the duct.
- Got it?
- Got it!
I'll cover you.
Upstairs!
It's Pollo, man.
Shit. Coming.
- Where was it?
- Here, in my thigh, Combo.
Let me see it.
Holy shit!
I'll pack it.
Bite down.
Here I go.
Hang in there.
Done. I'm done.
- Thanks, Combo. Thanks.
- Fucking Pollo.
Pollo.
What's up, Toro?
You never told me
who helped you pull the trigger.
My brother.
He was a firefighter.
But during Hurricane Ingrid
He didn't make it out.
And this watch
Was his.
He's always with me.
Always.
Are they following you because of us?
No, they're not following us
because of you.
We're not getting out, are we?
Nobody gets left behind.
We go in together, we get out together.
Just what we needed.
They've got an M2!
Help me. Quickly. To the couch.
Hurry!
Take cover!
Hurry, man!
- Move!
- Let's go!
- Loaded.
- Open fire!
Fire!
That's right, goddamn GIs!
You're all fucked now!
Shit!
- Counterstrike.
- Go!
Are you okay?
Hurry! Let's go!
Cover me!
I've got you!
Hell yeah!
Go!
Get to the house! I'll cover you.
Combo!
Left!
Right!
- Cover me, Pollo!
- Covering!
How are you, man?
He was mine, you little jerk.
I am not afraid of you, assholes!
Ammo!
Report!
Combo standing!
Pollo standing!
Toro standing!
Dmaso, report!
Tanque standing!
I need ammo!
- I'll bring it to you, Captain.
- No! Don't go!
Are you okay?
I'll get the doctor.
Take cover!
- Run!
- No!
- Run!
- No!
Pollo!
Tanque.
Tanque!
Tanque!
Uras!
Enough!
It's over!
Pollo!
Pollo!
God damn it!
Enough!
That's enough! Enough!
It's over!
Enough!
It's over! Enough!
It's over now.
I'll put my gun down.
I'll take out the one on my waist.
That's it.
It's over.
Pollo!
That's right, fucking GIs.
You'll get your certificates
for good behavior.
For sending me to the "slammer,"
as you say.
To be with my buddies.
Murcilagos, pieces of shit!
No!
What?
Are you gonna shoot me, you queer?
Go ahead.
We have honor.
Defend yourself!
You're in big trouble, bitch.
I should kill you.
It won't be that easy, fucker.
You're gonna pay for all you've done.
You messed with the Special Forces.
We have a prisoner.
Notify the Justice Department.
"THE ONLY THING NECESSARY
FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL
IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING."
