[CROWD CHANTING INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]
TRUTH - JUSTICE
GUADALAJARA WANTS JUSTICE AND TRUTH
[IN SPANISH] Perhaps we should use
the rear entrance, Mr. President?
a Mexican president hadn't
officially visited a Catholic Church
since Benito Juárez' reform
separated Church and State
back in the 1800s.
So when the president visited
the Guadalajara Cathedral
for Cardinal Posadas' funeral
most of us saw it as a sign
of just how bad things were.
Mexico was hurting.
People wanted answers.
SALINAS: [IN SPANISH] My deepest condolences.
- My condolences.
- FATHER BAIZ: Thank you.
SANDOVAL: The Pope holds Mexico
in his prayers, Mr. President.
He hopes justice will be served
here in Mexico
as do millions of faithful Catholics.
SALINAS: Of course.
I'd like to show my respects now,
in silence.
His Holy Father also prays those who have
neglected their oaths of duty will,
at last,
end Mexico's tradition of corruption
Here I am,
starting to sound like a politician.
Perhaps the upcoming election's
on my mind.
Please excuse us
Excuse us.
dragged years of corruption into the open.
Narco violence could no longer be ignored.
[CROWD CHANTING OUTSIDE] Justice!
PROTESTER: [ON MICROPHONE] Will you do something now?
REPORTER: [IN SPANISH ON TV] The only thing that I ask
Give me enough strength so I can
move forward with my children.
REPORTER 2: an applause that is
surely being heard all over this country
MAN: [ON TV] was a consequence of
cross fire between two rival cartels.
The Arellano Félix of Tijuana
and Güero Palma,
Fermín "El Azul" Martínez,
and Joaquín Guzmán Loera,
AKA El Chapo of Sinaloa
Those fucking Tijuana sons of bitches!
who is considered
the most pernicious of the four.
They were trying to kill me.
I didn't touch the Cardinal -
did I, Arturo?
MAN: Which is why we're offering
a reward of 15 million pesos
for information leading to his arrest.
The government just declared war
on Tijuana and Sinaloa, kid.
Nobody gives a fuck about the truth.
[OPENING THEME SONG PLAYING]
Colored HI and improvements by GoldBerg44
are calling it
a joint intelligence group task force.
Mexican army's in charge,
setting up a command center
outside Tijuana.
Plan is to go after the perpetrators
of the Guadalajara airport massacre.
A Mexican carnival
paid for by Uncle Sam. Nice.
Administrator wants us
helping out where we can,
so every DEA office on the border
will be assigned an agent
who will coordinate intel
with the Mexicans in Tijuana.
MAN 2: Nine times out of ten, Mexico
won't return our fucking phone calls.
US isn't asking for the intel, Mexico is.
Keeps his mouth shut
for the rest of this briefing,
I'll buy Sheridan a lap dance
at that place he likes on South Mesa.
[LAUGHTER]
- I have some time. I'll take care of it.
- MAN 1: Thanks, Bobby.
Oh, and DC's putting a DEA agent
on the ground in Tijuana,
working with the Mexicans.
BOBBY: Who's in charge down there?
MAN 1: General Jesús Hector Rebollo.
He collared Carrillo Fuentes
when his plane went down in Chihuahua.
Rebollo torched his coke
and a million in cash.
What the fuck's wrong with him?
Seems like Mexico's
taking action, finally.
This could be a chance for DEA
to grab some shine.
Mexico City and DC
are backing Rebollo. Hard.
That's all I got. Get back to work.
Sir, can I talk to you for a second?
[CAR HONKS]
HENCHMAN: [IN SPANISH] Got the delivery for the boss.
You okay?
I miss your mustache.
Me, too.
Wish I could go with you.
You're my queen.
Love you.
Hmm.
BELTRAN: Hey, cuz.
Money's here. We gotta move fast.
Guatemalans came through?
Yep. Meeting us at the border.
Let me say bye to your mom.
Señora
Good afternoon
Thanks for the meal, best in Sinaloa
as always. May God bless you.
- LOERA: Take care.
- I'll be in the car.
Señorita
It's time, Mom.
I need to go now.
The Lord protects all his children.
In darkness and light.
Don't forget where you come from, son.
Take care, Mom.
God will watch over you.
BENJAMÍN: What'd our guys
in the police department find out?
FRANCISCO: Army's moved into
the old Colegio Sagrado Corazon
EDUARDO: They got a few Jeeps
on patrol loops.
Border crossing.
Airport.
You should take Ruth and the baby.
Get out of Tijuana.
You're all over TV, man. Shit's serious.
We spent years
building relationships in Tijuana.
Now's the time to use them.
Running only makes us look guilty.
FRANCISCO: So we wait for your country
club friends to clear our name?
BENJAMÍN: No one's waiting, Pancho.
Barron's got two guys
turning themselves in for the Cardinal.
The cholos are taking the fall?
RAMÓN: That's right, Pancho.
Spooky and Puma.
We're giving their families 300K.
They'll say what we want.
I'm meeting some of our friends today.
Businessmen.
We need the right people
speaking up for us now.
Want you there with me.
Listen. We're gonna be okay.
Fuck. Maybe better than before.
ANDRÉA: That was intense
the other day, no?
BAGGAGE ATTENDANT: Excuse me?
ANDRÉA: The shooting.
Were you here? It was intense.
BAGGAGE ATTENDANT: Yeah, it was crazy.
[BELL RINGS]
BAGGAGE ATTENDANT: I was outside.
Loading bags. When the shooting started.
See any of the gunmen?
Couldn't see anything.
Guess I was lucky.
[SCOFFS]
Yeah. Lucky.
Plane I was loading got held at the gate.
Tower hold all flights
while the shooting was going on?
No. Just mine.
- Okay.
- BAGGAGE ATTENDANT: Yeah. But
it wasn't the tower. It was police.
Cops showed up pretty quick.
They were guarding the cabin door,
waiting for someone to board.
Plane was headed
To Tijuana.
- Tijuana?
- BAGGAGE ATTENDANT: Yeah.
Didn't see the guys who boarded.
But they must be important.
TAESA never waits for anyone.
Well, I gotta go. More work to do
ANDRÉA: TAESA
They held the plane for Ramón Arellano.
Witness confirmed it.
I checked for security cameras,
there were two.
Get this.
Tapes are both missing.
Good work.
What time are you back?
Just need to get a comment from TAESA.
Be back in Tijuana tonight.
The boys prefer their fruit
in smaller pieces.
Bring another plate, please.
Darling
[CHUCKLES]
Tell your brother
his friend is welcome to stay for lunch.
- [KITTY EXCLAIMS]
- [SNIFFING]
[KITTY SINGING IN SPANISH]
What, you can sing now, too?
Got flows, man
Says who, your girl?
KITTY: Nah, bitch. Yours.
[KITTY LAUGHS]
Check out this fucking guy.
What, your bro doesn't talk?
- Silent, but deadly.
- [KITTY LAUGHS]
KITTY: He's like the invisible man.
Everybody's talking
about that thing at the airport.
[LAUGHING] Shit was crazy.
I bet.
Isn't it dangerous,
moving coke 'cross the border now?
I mean
with the army in town?
KITTY: I drive a fucking S-Class, bro!
[KITTY LAUGHS]
Army's not looking for guys like us.
KITTY: Why Ramón's smart.
Has us moving weight now.
Making moves.
[CHUCKLES] My man. "Silent, but deadly."
Know how to drive?
He doesn't do runs.
KITTY: C'mon, those rosy cheeks and shit?
That baby face could be
making you serious cash.
KITTY: Whoo!
Yeah.
I could do runs.
Bro
[CHUCKLING] Smell that money, huh?
What?
I can.
KITTY: He can.
Invisible man's gonna be an earner!
Whoo! [LAUGHS]
"When I discover who I am, I'll be free."
Invisible Man.
Ralph Ellison.
High school's over, motherfucker.
Fuck. I like you, kid.
Don't listen to him. Stay you.
[LAUGHING] Whoo!
Those shoes come in men's sizes, too?
[FRANCISCO LAUGHS]
Man, fuck you.
You should talk, asshole.
[LIGHTER CLICKING]
You forget your key again?
No.
DANI: What's up?
DEA is sending me down to Tijuana.
There's this new task force.
Looks like Mexico's getting serious
about cleaning shit up, so
You didn't have to sit out here
to tell me you're going on a work trip.
It's not a work trip.
I'm gonna be gone for a few months.
When do you leave?
They need me there tomorrow.
Look, Dani, nothing's gonna change.
I'm still transferring to Chicago,
it's just not gonna be next week.
Dani.
Dani. Look at me.
[SIGHS] Come on, Walt.
- I have to go.
- Why?
Because it's my job.
Did they ask you, or did you ask them?
- I don't see why that matters.
- Answer the question.
I asked them.
Now, can we go inside and talk?
- [DANI SIGHS]
- Dani.
Why does it mean so much to you,
going to Tijuana?
- Look
- Stop saying "your job."
What do you want me to say?
[SIGHS] You know what your job is, Walt?
It's a front.
Cover.
A cover for what?
I don't know.
Dani.
Go home, Walt.
Sounds like you need to pack.
I have work to do.
Dani, I wanna talk about it.
Dani!
[SIGHS]
[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]
[SPANISH SONG PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
CHAPO: [IN SPANISH] These the guys?
BELTRAN: Fucking Guatemalans.
CHAPO: Good day, Colonel.
You guys made good time.
We appreciate the hospitality.
Welcome.
Have what we discussed?
Yes, sir.
[TAPS TRUCK]
Follow my men's truck.
- [ENGINE STARTS]
- [SPANISH SONG RESUMES]
Thanks.
Someone should get word
to district command.
A dangerous Mexican fugitive's
been spotted.
[CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
BENJAMÍN: They're probably running late.
FRANCISCO: Yeah. Traffic maybe.
Yeah.
[CHURCH BELLS RINGING]
- Thought it was a nice service.
- Yes.
Come on.
What did you like best?
Um, well
VICTOR: I'll see you back at home.
Good day.
Mrs. Barragan.
Officer Tapia.
Been a while
since I've seen you here at church.
Teresa's still missing.
I know.
I've been
You told me she never came home.
When's the last time you saw her?
When I went along with her
to catch the bus.
The bus that takes her to work.
At the Parque Industrial.
Hmm.
By
the new maquilas?
She worked at the autoparts factory.
Yeah.
MRS. BARRAGAN: Why?
Why are you asking these questions now?
Teresa's been gone for months.
Yes. I know.
No one disappears just like that.
- My wife's waiting, Señora Barragan.
- Listen
- My girl she was a good girl.
- Yes.
- I'll let you know if I hear anything.
- She was a good girl!
Yes.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
FRANCISCO: Fuck these guys, Mín.
[BENJAMÍN SIGHS]
We don't need these fuckers.
Yeah, man. We do.
These guys were our bridge
to the politicians.
Let's go home.
Meet you in the car.
Father Baiz, this is Benjamín
Please return my call.
Mr. Hank
Andréa Nuñez, La Voz.
La Voz
We're doing a story on the murder
of Cardinal Posadas.
We have sources confirming a TAESA flight
was held up until the shooting stopped.
So Ramón Arellano Félix could board.
Any comment?
Excuse me, Carlitos.
Sweetheart
Why would my airline assist a criminal?
Okay, then.
I think Mr. Salgado could do better
than send a little girl
who can't keep simple facts straight.
Things must be bad at La Voz.
So no comment on the financial ties
between the Arellanos
and the casino owned by your family
in Tijuana?
with San Diego, once you get settled in.
I heard Jack Dorian's GS
on the American side.
MAN 1: Jack's solid.
Keep him in the loop.
I will.
Sure about this?
How'd Dani take it?
'Bout as good as you'd expect.
MAN 1: Good luck, Walt.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
Well I feel pretty good ♪
And I guess that I could get crazy
Now baby ♪
'Cause we all got in tune ♪
And when the dressing room got hazy ♪
CUSTOMS AGENT: [IN SPANISH] Welcome to Tijuana.
Thanks.
I know how you want it child
Hot, quick and tight ♪
SOLDIER IN TRUCK: Walter?
Let me up on the stand ♪
Yes, I'm starting to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet ♪
What a feeling ♪
In the sound that abounds ♪
And resounds
And rebounds off the ceiling ♪
FAUSTO: The American's here.
GEN. REBOLLO: Least they sent one
who speaks Spanish.
FAUSTO: He was on the team that captured
Félix Gallardo.
With Calderoni, no less.
Not sure that's the kind of help we need.
I want to know why Agent Breslin
can't get enough of Mexico.
They didn't put that in his file.
[CHILD CRYING]
BENJAMÍN: Carmen, can you take the baby?
What's wrong with her, Ruth?
She won't drink her milk.
She keeps crying, she keeps coughing,
all night and day.
She's sick, Benjamín.
[SIGHS]
Heard back from your friends?
BENJAMÍN: What do you think?
Not yet.
- RUTH: Everything okay?
- Yeah.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
I need to take this.
Yes?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
General Rebollo will see you now.
You must be tired from your trip.
We can talk over dinner.
Ah, I'm good to go, General.
- I see you're building a wiretap room.
- Mm.
Gonna give us real time
or delayed chatter?
I'd be very happy to arrange a briefing
for you, if you'd like.
I understand you requested
a transfer to the task force.
Before DEA, I was military.
Mm. That so?
With all due respect, sir,
um, I'm here to get shit done.
DC's got a lot riding on this, and, well
you win, we win.
You spent a lot of time in Mexico, huh?
I have.
So what keeps bringing you back?
You like our culture,
or is it something else?
Guess I work the action, sir.
Not enough action in El Paso?
Not like here, I suppose.
So, Agent Breslin
are you a religious man?
Is that relevant?
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]
That something I need to know?
My men are not used to having
a foreigner around,
but they will learn.
My orders are to share
all task force intel with DC.
Supervisor in San Diego
wants daily reports, so
Hmm. Good. Let's get started.
I'm sending a team to pick up two men
who just turned themselves in
and confessed to killing the Cardinal.
You should go supervise the pickup.
Any chance these clowns
were actually involved?
They are members of the Logan Heights gang
from San Diego.
- AFO shooters.
- That's right.
Providencio will fill you in.
Thank you, General.
[IN SPANISH] Might want
to put on a helmet.
He's been looking for you.
SALGADO: I understand.
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
When were you going to tell me
you went to see Hank?
I just got back.
You jeopardized a story
we've been working on for months.
His lawyers called.
You told me to work the story.
We needed a comment.
I said to run things by me first, Andréa.
You went too far.
"Neither Carlos Hank nor anyone at TAESA
had any knowledge
of this tragic crime
at the Guadalajara airport."
Of course
that's what his lawyers would say.
"If La Voz prints any allegation of ties
to money laundering
with the Arellano Félix family,
Mr. Hank will take immediate legal action
against the newspaper and its reporters."
You're amused, Andréa?
[ANDRÉA SIGHS]
I only asked about financial ties between
the casino and the Arellano Félix family.
I never said anything
about money laundering.
[CHUCKLES]
Worry less about looking smart,
and more about being smart.
If something solid comes up,
bring it to me. If not
move on.
BENJAMÍN: Tell the guys we're leaving.
Mín
- You heard back from your businessmen?
- No.
But Father Baiz returned my call.
You called Father Baiz?
BENJAMÍN: People think we murdered
a Cardinal, Enedina!
Who's gonna help us, huh?
We need the church on our side.
He can help us.
I thought he was avoiding me,
like everyone else. But he called.
He is gonna help us.
Mín.
Francisco was right.
You need to leave Tijuana.
[MUMBLES]
If you get arrested,
our whole organization collapses.
We lose everything, Benjamín.
I run,
it looks like we did something wrong.
Like we're fucking criminals.
We are criminals.
If Father Baiz comes out
in support of our family -
people will see it's safe to stand by us.
That nothing's changed.
Every day I think about that moment
I told Claudio to go out with you.
I was distracted then
by the dream of being someone else.
I'm not anymore.
I know who I am.
This dream you have
of being some fucking businessman
It's over.
No.
We can fix this.
Hmm?
Let's go -
[CAR DOORS CLOSING]
[ENGINES STARTING]
Are you high?
Not really.
I'm worried about Benjamín.
PROVIDENCIO: [IN SPANISH] Wait here.
Less local cops know
about the task force, the better.
"Milk run"?
ENRIQUE: A what run?
General Rebollo ordered us
to pick up two suspects.
No, it's not. Two transports were idling
outside the base.
There must have been 20 guys
[IN SPANISH] Watch the vehicle.
[IN SPANISH] Not here.
SOLDIER: [OVER RADIO IN SPANISH] This is Santo Zero-Two.
We're in position.
Perimeter, what's your status?
Your guys, turning themselves in
They know what to say?
They're solid?
I grew up with their older brothers.
They're solid.
Good.
[SOLDIERS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER RADIO]
SOLDIER: [OVER RADIO] Santo Zero-Four.
Perimeter set.
Target's 20 blocks out.
Heading to Reforma and Jiménez.
[BRAKES SQUEAL]
Closed off. Nobody goes through.
SOLDIER 1: Closed off, sir. Closed off.
SOLDIER 2: Clear the street!
WOMAN: We're late again. Here
Hurry-
Did you bring your English book?
BENJAMÍN: This is it.
FAUSTO: [OVER RADIO] Father,
stand so he can see you.
You won't hurt him?
FAUSTO: No, Father.
You're doing the right thing,
but he needs to come inside.
SOLDIER: [OVER RADIO] Target spotted.
Approaching position one.
All teams stand by.
Prepare to engage.
Stay in the truck.
FAUSTO: Go now!
Go, go!
[GUNSHOTS]
SOLDIER 1: Block the road!
Block the road!
SOLDIER 2: Cut 'em off!
SOLDIER 3: Stay down, lady! Stay down!
- SOLDIER 3: Get out of here, go!
- [WOMAN YELLS]
[WHIMPERING]
- [GUNSHOTS]
- [SCREAMS]
- SOLDIER 4: They're coming back!
- [TIRES SCREECH]
FAUSTO: Target on the move!
[WOMAN EXCLAIMING]
[CHILD EXCLAIMING]
[WOMAN PANTING]
WALT: Here - keep it -
- SOLDIER: Stop! Drop it!
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
- DEA!
- Drop the gun!
- I have identification.
- SOLDIER: Don't move or we'll fire!
[EXPLOSION]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Run!
We're boxed in!
We gotta run!
[YELLS INDISTINCTLY]
RAMÓN: Benjamín!
Let's go!
Benjamín!
You have to run, Benjamín!
Let's go!
Let's roll!
General, target's on the move.
Permission to pursue.
Sir! Permission to pursue?
[SIGHS]
They're outside the secure zone.
Do not pursue.
Hold your fire.
Stop! Stop!
Do not pursue. I repeat, do not pursue.
going after him?
General's orders.
Fucking kidding me.
[LAUGHING AND CHEERING]
[IN SPANISH] Fuck them!
Fuck yeah, Benjamín.
They can go fuck themselves!
KITTY: We fucked 'em up, bro!
Whoo!
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
Whoo!
Move this thing! Go, go, go!
ROGELIO: What's up, Blue?
What do they call your sister again?
[LAUGHING]
Fucking Blue.
Bro.
Bro.
What's up? You good, man?
- Yeah, I'm cool.
- Dreaming about Blue's sister's ass?
[ALL LAUGHING]
That ass is unforgettable.
SALGADO: Just got off the phone.
Army almost caught
Benjamín Arellano Félix.
No more country club weddings.
Progress, isn't it?
Things are going to get worse in Tijuana.
All over Mexico.
Men like Hank won't give up power
till it's taken from them.
[RUTH SOBBING]
BENJAMÍN: Ruth's packing.
She was really scared, Benjamín.
I wanted to turn this into something
no one could ever take away from us.
I know.
You were right.
Francisco's smart, but he's not you.
You can handle things here,
while I'm gone.
I'll do whatever I have to
to keep this family safe.
I promise.
It all got fucked up.
I never wanted this for you.
letting Benjamín Arellano go
makes us look weak and uncommitted.
Us or you?
I gave an assignment.
You didn't find it interesting.
WALT: With all due respect,
that assignment was bullshit, sir.
It is very American of you.
You had him boxed in.
You had over a dozen guys there.
- You had military
- Filling the streets
with dead civilians will do nothing
to stop drug trafficking. Nothing.
We offered 15 million pesos
for information on Chapo Guzmán.
More money than people can make here
in a lifetime.
No one came forward.
- Why?
- 'Cause they don't trust the government.
So, how are men like you and me,
Agent Breslin
How are we to fight
that kind of thinking, huh?
With more bullets?
People are going to get hurt.
That's the reality of it, sir.
Let's be honest.
Your government would not be
supporting this operation
if NAFTA were not on the horizon.
And neither would mine.
A famous cardinal getting killed
in cartel cross fire
That is simply bad for the trade deal.
Yeah. I imagine it might be.
So this whole operation
is political.
Which means it will not last.
But while it does,
I'm not just gonna go after the men
responsible for the cardinal's murder,
I'm going after
all the drug traffickers in Mexico.
Every single one of them.
To do that,
I need the Mexican people at my side.
That's why I'm here, Agent Breslin.
Now, why are you?
It's my job, sir.
Yes.
You said you like action.
[SIGHS]
If there is nothing else
I was raised Presbyterian.
Didn't really stick.
I'm willing to get you whatever you need.
I can get you whatever you want.
You just gotta tell me.
[SIGHS]
We lost Benjamín Arellano.
But a few hours ago, El Chapo Guzmán
was arrested at the Guatemalan border.
He's in custody?
How the hell did that happen?
The officers who cut a deal
to hide Guzmán
turned right around and sold him to us.
Sometimes, greed works, too.
ANDRÉA: In June of '93,
Chapo Guzmán was turned over
to Mexican authorities.
Sentenced to 20 years
for weapons possession,
drug trafficking and involvement
in the Cardinal's murder.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
Up to then, Chapo had been mostly unknown.
A minor player.
[REPORTERS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]
REPORTER 1: [IN SPANISH] Are you a drug dealer?
No, sir.
REPORTER 2: What do you do?
I am just a farmer.
imprisonment, for as long as it lasted,
would change all that.
REPORTER 3: Of what?
Corn, beans.
Sinaloa was falling apart.
REPORTER 4: Why do you need guns?
I've never used guns.
an army task force
was hunting the Arellanos.
The old days were gone.
And the party was officially over.
[CHILD FUSSING]
[IN SPANISH] I'm coming, baby. I'm coming.
Get in from the other side.
- I'm gonna say goodbye.
- Yeah, me, too.
Take care.
We will.
Thank you, jerk.
Thank you.
It's okay.
[LINE RINGING]
I'm not here to take your call.
Leave me a message after the beep.
[LINE BEEPS]
CHAPO: [IN SPANISH]
What are we doing down here?
Keep walking, princess -
Go on, asshole!
Keep moving, bitch.
DON: Hey, show some hospitality
to our new guest.
This fucking guard thinks he's tough.
But he'll let you shit
in his mother's mouth
for the right price.
- Two thousand last time, right?
- RUBEN: Yes, sir
Right. Now fuck off.
Welcome.
Get comfortable, Chapito.
[DON SIGHS]
What I hear, you're gonna be here a while.
