El Dragon: Return of a Warrior s01e05 Episode Script

Episode 5

1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Imagine a huge money-laundering network at no cost to you.
And having safe investments in the stock market.
That sounds too good to be true.
RUSSIAN MAFIA LEADER You will earn money from investments in the stock market.
Tell me, Mr.
Garza, why are you so interested in us? I think there's a lot of people in your country who would easily accept your offer.
I am interested in anybody who trusts my proposal.
But I'm aiming beyond that, for an international scheme.
It's an unusual plan, but a convincing one.
Sergei? I wouldn't waste your time if this wasn't a unique opportunity.
We can't promise anything, Mr.
Garza.
We'll be in touch.
My pleasure.
What do you think? They'll want in, I know.
Andrei seems to be interested.
Yes, but they belong to different gangs, so they have to agree and then they can give you an answer.
You know them better than I do.
They just need some time.
Time.
That's exactly what I lack.
It was the Russians.
I have no doubt.
He stinks, Jeremías.
Miguel Garza stinks.
He's about to get on that Cuban's yacht.
You have a list of his clients, right? Twenty percent a year.
Twenty percent? That's good.
Let's see if we can raise it up to 30%.
I'd have to make arrangements.
- But I think we could reach 30%.
- Yes.
Good day, Lawyer Edgar Sánchez Morris? - I'm here because - Sorry! It's me.
What can I do for you? My apologies.
Ulises Murat.
My friends from Lerman and Associates recommended you to me.
Murat? Spanish origin? I actually was born, raised, and I'll stay under, the California sun.
And how may I help you? Look, I've inherited some vineyards I'm not interested in keeping.
I'd like to buy some estates here in Miami.
Well, I'm leaving.
We'll keep in touch.
Yes! A pleasure! - Please, come on board.
- Thank you.
Be careful there.
Darn, sorry for the delay.
Don't worry, sir.
I just wanted to know if you've progressed with the investigation of Desiré.
Darn.
Nothing? It can't be, sir! Look.
You know, the security cameras were mysteriously not working.
Sure.
No witness was able to describe the attackers.
And victims were shot with AK-47s.
Yes, the weapon of any hitman in this country.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Bernal.
I want justice for my sister, sir.
We're talking about my sister here.
The whole country seeks justice, Mr.
Bernal.
I'd love to tell you something else, but as long as Carlos Duarte is the Secretary of the Interior, these crimes will not be solved.
I refuse to sit by idly, sir.
If I can help you with something, Mr.
Bernal, count me in.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO Thank you.
Thanks.
How did you manage to arrive first? This traffic is crazy.
Aren't you a winged dragon? How did it go at the beach? What beach? I was in Miami for business.
Right.
Working with you must be quite fun! Right? Actually, I wanted to make you a job offer.
Me? Doing what? I need a driver.
No way.
I only work for one boss, and that boss is me.
Will you leave me at the mercy of Mexico City drivers? Ciudad Jiménez, you mean? I have to bring my family to Mexico City, and I wanted you to come along, too.
Me? Are you crazy or something? Why? It would be a new adventure for you.
Besides, you'd be closer to your grandma.
And what would happen if I say yes? You'd begin right now.
No.
Don't get so excited, I haven't said yes.
I have to think about it.
Sure.
Well, at least there's a possibility.
A toast to that! Boss.
The Jap is currently in Mexico City.
We're watching him, like you told us to.
Don't take your eyes off him.
- He can't get away.
- No, that won't happen.
Sir, I'm sorry for the question, but why did we come here in such a hurry? In order to kill him, Tacho.
Count on me for That's all right, Boss.
Good thing about the size of this city nobody will know it was us.
What do you want me to do? I want you to stay and organize it.
You will drop by the club of El Duro and get some guns that won't fail.
Okay, I'll do it.
I'll return to Ciudad Jiménez to cast off any suspicion.
Anything you say, Boss.
And one more thing, Tacho.
Don't fail.
Because if you do, I'll have to put a bullet between your eyes.
And I honestly wouldn't like to because I actually like you.
Go ahead, drink something.
Have a drink.
- Do you want some ice in it? - No, thank you, Boss.
It has everything you asked for.
I like it.
I like that you like it.
How many properties do we have so far? Five, but your number isn't limited.
So, it means I'm still counting on your support.
If you say "jump," I say "how high?" - Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
Hello, Tadamichi-san.
Good evening.
Good morning for you, Miguel.
How are you? Fine.
I'm glad to hear from you.
How may I help you? I wanted to ask you permission for something special.
Go ahead.
I'm opening offices in Mexico and I'd like to make a branch of the Naga Company.
Please, trust me.
You have my permission.
Just tell me, Miguel.
- How are your businesses going? - They're moving forward, just not as fast as I'd like them to.
Don't lose your will to live.
Yes, I'm trying not to.
This great plan is what's keeping me going.
Although sometimes I think I'm crazy.
Remember that the only reason a warrior lives is to fight.
And the only reason a warrior fights is to win.
Sir, Mr.
Manuel Garza is here.
Thank you.
Jimena, this is the man I told you about.
You know what to do.
I want to impress him.
FINANCE ENGINEERING SPECIALIS Hector, it can't be.
We won't find any answers like this.
Every time we try to investigate somewhere, we hit a wall, Claudia.
Well, in that case, let's not wait.
What do you mean? I mean we should do it ourselves.
Are you serious? We've been many places, we've interviewed so many people.
Everyone, wash your hands, please.
I mean, finding proof against Carlos Duarte.
Proof? To send him back to the dump from which he came? And demonstrate all of his alliances with those criminals.
And to display his corruption.
Exactly.
No.
I can't drag you into this.
So you think this is just about you? My sister is the one who died.
- She was murdered! - Hector! This affects us all! All of us.
It's too dangerous, Claudia.
I know.
If we don't give it a try, we'll never come out of this.
Hey.
Those people play very dirty.
In that case, from now on we will play dirty, too.
So, your proposition is that we drop our clients in order to focus exclusively on your businesses? Those are not my businesses.
They're Naga Company's businesses.
Yes, sure, I understand.
We're talking about an investment fund with a portfolio of over two million dollars.
I have a more daring proposition, if I may.
Sure.
I propose to partner up.
So all of your financial operations would be supported.
I'm looking for a financial advisor, not for a partner.
Think about it.
It could be an interesting opportunity.
If there's no chance of us becoming partners, then there's no point in us having this conversation.
As you wish.
My pleasure.
Likewise.
You know you won't fail with an AK-47.
But it depends on the type of operation.
Another option is the usual fragmentation grenades.
No, I like those.
- You like it loud! - Exactly.
That one spits like no other.
Of course, she's a beauty.
Hey, I wanted to ask you if you know some men for a little job I have? I'll pay a lot if they can take out their target, you know? I know many.
I want the best.
They are the best.
I like it.
Let's see.
A beauty.
Just look at it.
And where is the ammo? You ruined my chance to become partners with him! You know that! - He didn't want to be anybody's partner.
- Had you just let me insist You should've done it! At least I tried to keep him.
You should thank me.
Jimena, don't play genius with me, please.
I'm sorry.
You should know better.
You need me here.
Your company depends on my work.
Look I like your intelligence, it's all right.
But among your attributes, there are some other things I like more.
Let me go, please.
Think carefully about what you'll do.
After all you did to get here, we wouldn't want to see you in the streets.
Jimena Ortíz.
"Finance engineering specialist.
Master's degree.
Doctorate.
And postdoc.
" Very well.
Asya! Darling, what did you do? No, wake up.
Asya! Oh, no.
Asya.
Don't leave.
Don't leave me, don't abandon me.
I'm here, darling.
What are we waiting for? - Miguel! - What? Tell me.
You've made me drive all around today.
Don't tell me you got bored! No, not at all.
But, God! If this is how the job will be, you'll have to pay very well.
Name your price.
Wait here.
Hello, Jimena! Mr.
Garza! Please, drop the "Mister".
I'd like to invite you for a drink.
Are you following me? It's just one drink.
I won't get you into any trouble.
A meeting reveals far more than a resume.
I have an excellent job and a big salary.
I'll triple it.
You don't know how much I earn.
It doesn't matter.
Plus, you'd be in charge.
In charge of what? Of financial investigation.
Corporate espionage.
What if we don't get along? I'll cover your position with a guaranteed fund.
How would that work? If you're not satisfied, you take it and leave.
Is half a million dollars enough? Just like that? Why not? What keeps me from working with you for a bit, taking the money and then leaving? Working with me, you will earn more.
What do you think? I have some information about you, and I don't think everything you offer is legal.
Is there any investment fund that is? Miguel, this is my boyfriend, César.
- Hello.
- Miguel Garza.
A pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
César Ocampo.
Well, I have to go.
I can't guarantee anything, but I'll think about it.
All right! Goodbye.
- Goodbye! - A pleasure.
Same.
Today I'll go back to Ciudad Jiménez to bring my family.
- So? Have you thought about it? - Just a bit.
And? It's your lucky day.
I accept the job.
Great choice! Do you want to come to Ciudad Jiménez to move out, sell your car No, hold on.
Don't get so excited.
It's a trial period.
Okay.
I have to go.
Thank you for that.
It's important for me to have you around.
You're welcome.
What? - I see you like the idea.
- No! I love it! I don't know.
We have everything here.
I don't think it's so easy Jorge! We'll finally be able to get out of here.
We'll be able to begin a new life.
Doesn't it excite you? You can do whatever you want, I don't know.
Studying something, who knows? Well, honestly, I have always been interested in IT, but I don't know - That would be a good idea, see? - Yes! - Yes, but it's not easy.
You have - Jorge! If you go to university, right, as you say you'd like to, you'll be able to meet people with the same interests as you.
You may get yourself a girlfriend! That sounds great, Jorge.
A girlfriend! Tell us the truth, you really liked that! It's the first time the three of us have smiled together in a long time.
It should happen more often, right? Miguel could you please come? Yes.
I'll be right back.
I didn't know you wanted to study that.
You never told me! Yes, but getting into university is hard.
- You know that.
- Such a pessimist.
It's not pessimism! You know I don't like people or physical contact.
It's complicated.
I don't want to cut your dream short, but your grandpa cannot travel anywhere.
He almost suffered a heart attack just a few days ago.
I need to keep him close.
Some things are out of our control.
I'm just worried about the other partners.
They won't let me take you to Mexico City? No.
I thought so.
Things in Ciudad Jiménez are different.
They're managed by rules, and you made a deal with them.
Unless you stick to your word, they're not going to let you go to Mexico City so easily.
Don't put the move on hold.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I'll talk with the partners and all.
Okay, if you say so.
I have to keep moving forward.
I don't have time to lose.
I won't leave you at the mercy of Epigmenio.
- Gentlemen, how are you? - 100%.
I asked you to come because I have a request.
Go ahead.
The business plan I showed you requires many transactions and traveling.
Therefore, having my office located in Mexico City would be optimal.
Yes.
That's understandable, Miguel.
That wasn't the deal we talked about.
The deadline isn't over yet, it's only been eight days.
Look, Miguel.
I don't want you to think that we distrust you, right, Mister? But as you know, we've basically just met you, and this business is very serious.
We can't risk you disappearing, Miguel.
I understand.
Your family will have to stay in Ciudad Jiménez as collateral.
- As collateral? - As collateral, like, as safety, a guarantee you'll keep your word.
In bushido, when a samurai says he'll do something, it's like he's already done it.
Saying and doing is the same thing.
That's the makoto principle.
Honestly, we don't know much about bushido, but But we need all of this to be done using our traditions, right? It's our business.
So I'll do it like that.
You have my word my family won't move from here until our agreement ends.
I just need one thing from you.
Give me your word that, as long as that deadline does not expire, my family will be safe.
Man's word! Say no more.
- Cheers! - It's done.
And how is Mr.
Lamberto? Well, he's in poor health.
What a pity.
Please send him our regards.
- Please.
- I will.
What! What do you mean we can't leave? I made a deal and I have to adhere to it.
I arranged everything with Ángel.
What are you talking about? - Ángel? - Chisca, if Miguel says we have to stay Jorge, shut it! You don't know what we're talking about.
Don't take it out on him.
Sorry.
I don't know how you gave in to Coyote and Zaragoza.
I don't give in to anyone.
I'm trying to learn and respect the rules of this business.
Yes.
If Miguel doesn't adhere to them, he will never gain the partners' trust.
- Chisca, I need you to be patient.
- Patient.
I've wanted to leave this place for years, Miguel! I will figure this out.
In less than a month, we'll be together.
I don't care about promises.
I don't care what you say, I care about your actions.
And if you want to act like the partners and Grandpa No, man, go ahead.
But nobody tells me what to do.
Don't worry, I'll talk to your sister.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO It's such a shame.
I had already prepared the rooms to accommodate the family.
Thank you, Rosario.
They will come later.
Yes, the time to meet them will come.
I will get the door.
Esmeralda went to the street market.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
- Hello.
My pleasure.
- Hello.
I'm here for Miguel.
How odd, he wasn't expecting - Well, I'm not - Hold on! - You cannot just come in like that! - Did you get a bodyguard already? Calm down, I know her, I do.
Let me introduce you to Rosario Rosique.
He is the majordomo.
Adela is a very good friend.
My pleasure! Rosario.
So, you're the majordomo? - Yes.
- Congratulations! The house looks beautiful.
Do you really like it? - A lot! - Isn't it lovely? I am fond of your friend already! Will you have breakfast with us? - Sure! - Go ahead, have a seat! Look, we have everything.
This homemade bread is delicious! Try it.
Tell me what you would prefer.
Tea? Hot chocolate? Coffee? A coffee, please, and make it strong! You're just like me! - No.
- But why not? Why not? Wasn't it all ready? Yes, but Miguel decided otherwise.
I can't believe it, Chisca.
This is going to be the first time somebody tells you what to do.
I can't believe it! You don't understand.
- What is there to understand? Tell me! - My family is complicated! - Families have problems.
- Sure! It is not quite like mine.
Okay, gorgeous princess.
If you don't stop your brother, he will never understand you're mature enough.
Mature enough to make your own choices.
Let's go to Mexico City.
I haven't packed anything.
So, what? You love to go shopping.
Let's go shopping! - Let's go! - Let's go.
- Really? - Let's go! That's the Chisca I know.
You like that people beg you for it.
Always.
Right? What is it? I don't know, but - I think we're being followed.
- By whom? I have no idea.
Lose them.
Hit the gas.
- Pull up.
- Do you know them? - No.
Pull up, stop.
- Pull up! I'm not stopping.
- Stop, Ángel! - I won't stop, Chisca.
- Slow down.
- No, Chisca.
- Ángel! - Stop, Chisca, I won't stop! Don't speak, don't say a word.
Ms.
Garza.
I hope you're not going to the airport.
We're having a joyride.
It's none of your business! This road only goes there, miss, please.
And what if I go there? Look, by orders of my boss, you're forbidden from exiting the city.
I'm not exiting the city.
I'm bringing my friend to the airport, he has to go to Mexico City.
- Okay? - The gentleman may do whatever he wants.
But you have to stay here, understood? Chisca, come here! - Get in your truck and leave me alone.
- Calm down, miss.
- I'm calm.
- I have my orders.
- You have to obey them.
- Yes? Good for you.
- Get in your truck and leave me alone! - Those are my orders.
Please oblige.
Get in your truck and leave me alone! - No need to get violent, miss.
- I'm not violent, trust me.
- Take it easy.
- Move! Calm down, miss.
You're not going anywhere.
I'm super calm.
- I told you you're not leaving.
- Get in! - Get in your truck! Leave me alone! - We're not going anywhere.
- Leave me alone! - Calm down.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO You better grab one of these, look.
Isn't it beautiful? Let's go, come on! Here.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
All right.
See you later.
Let's go.
- Okay, let her go! - This man is harassing me! Yes, miss.
Please, get in the truck, okay? I'll settle this thing.
- Please, get in the truck.
- Chisca! - Please, wait here.
- I'll settle this.
I wasn't doing anything.
Don't worry, just wait a second.
Okay, pal, you go straight to the airport.
Otherwise, you'll have problems, okay? Move.
Let him go to the airport alone.
- Come on! Let's move.
- Let's go.
Well, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, right? If the ching-chong delivers in a month, he can take his family wherever he wants.
But that's our only guarantee.
My men informed me the sister had already tried to board a plane.
- Really? - Yeah.
- That's a difficult girl, right? - Yeah.
- And what happened? - My men stopped her.
- Have you seen Mr.
Lamberto? - We haven't.
- Have we? - No.
But they say the old man is quite sick.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - Heads up! - What do we do? I see them.
They'll come through here.
We go together.
- Move.
- Copy.
Tell me.
Tell Mr.
Lamberto I'm here to talk with him.
All in good faith.
Wait here, please.
Peligros! Peligros, come in.
Go ahead.
I have Mr.
Epigmenio Moncada at the main entrance.
He says he's here to talk with Mr.
Lamberto, in good faith.
What does "in good faith" mean? And unannounced? Isn't that strange? It is, Peligros.
- What do I tell him? - Let him in.
But alone! Without guns.
Search him before he comes in.
Copy that.
You may come in, but alone and without guns.
Get out so we can search you.
All right.
Are you sure, Boss? Yes, Peligros.
What do you want to see that man for? - You have to rest! - Rest.
That's all I've done these days.
You almost had a heart attack last week! Please! Hey, Dora.
It's time for me to lay cards on the table with this guy! - I have to talk with him, alone.
- What cards are you talking about? You've already given command to Miguel.
Let him handle Epigmenio! With all due respect, Boss, Mrs.
Dora is right.
I made up my mind already.
That's all.
Well, in that case, let Peligros stay with you.
Yes, Boss.
I'll feel better.
I said alone.
As you wish, Boss.
Let's go.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO Done! - Where to, Boss? - Do you like Italian food? Are you going to buy an Italian restaurant? My work's done.
I'm inviting you to dinner.
Let's go! I'm starving! I'd bite a piece off your arm if I could! - Please, get in.
- How chivalrous! Always.
Look at this, how beautiful.
I've always liked your ranch, Mr.
Lamberto.
It shows that you're a man of good taste.
Get to the point, Epigmenio.
What do you want? I've been thinking a lot about Roberto lately, your son.
And I think it's time I tell you a story.
Something you may want to hear.
What story? Let me tell you something, Roberto.
The money is in distribution.
We're not doing badly with transportation, but we're stagnant, man! Yes, sure, pal.
I agree with you completely.
One has to risk in order to win.
I also think we should be in distribution.
Exactly.
- Why don't you talk with your dad? - Do you think I haven't? You know him.
Once he has something in his mind, there's no changing it.
Actually I had an argument with him today, and the old man wouldn't give in.
So, what do we do? What is there to do? If the boss doesn't want to, it won't be done.
Why the long face, man? Look, when I inherit the business, things will be different.
In the meantime, let's take it easy.
Until then, we have to respect the boss, understood? Come on, pal, cheers.
In that moment, I realized that if I wanted to see change, I had to take matters into my own hands.
Hurry up, Bear! That truck should already be in San Diego! Yes, Boss.
It's almost done.
Epi! What do you think? I bought it for the old man.
I'm giving it to him tomorrow, for his birthday.
Geez! May I? Sure.
Oh, man! Your gift will be out of this world! The latest technology.
What do you think? - I hope he can use it! - I hope so! Okay, I'll keep it in the office.
See you tomorrow! Hurry up, man! This is for tomorrow! It'll be ready in a minute! Where was Margarita when she got my call? Where? Here? No? Not here? Here! It can't fail, Stripped Wire.
Get it? I want that old man to blow to pieces.
Nobody noticed anything! It's a shame that things didn't work out as I had planned.
Poor Margarita.
She was so unlucky, wasn't she? Yes, Epigmenio.
So, all shipments were sent, that's good.
Yes.
No, that was sent, too! Yes, that one.
Thank you.
Of course! I sent it myself! I even have it written down in my notebook! I can even tell you the time if you want! Hold on a second, hold on! How wouldn't I remember, huh? Hey, darling.
- Yes? - Where's my notebook? The notebook where I write down all the shipments.
In the bedroom, as usual, love.
The bedroom? Why is it in the bedroom? Because you always forget it in there.
But why is my notebook in the bedroom? I don't know! In my bedroom? How strange.
Hey! Tell Epigmenio I'll call him later! Margarita! Unfortunately, I made a mistake.
But not in killing Margarita.
There's always collateral damage in these kinds of things.
My mistake was not killing you.
It's a shame, my friend.
Poor Mrs.
Margarita, she was a good person.
I suppose you're looking for the culprit, right? Yes.
I've already set a perimeter with my men and we're searching.
What kind of clues are you looking for? Anything that will help us figure out who put the bomb in our house.
Look, pal.
I know this is no time to talk business, but maybe with this tragedy, Mr.
Lamberto reconsiders our expansion, right? Will you never understand, pal? He's never going to agree to distribute! He just wants to transport! - Well, yes.
But maybe if you go and - Who, me? Regardless of what I do or say, the old man will not want to.
There's one thing we can do: accept his decision.
Hey, Roberto.
Do you think that bomb did what it should? No.
They wanted to kill him, not my mom.
Regardless of what I do or say.
There's one thing we can do: accept his decision.
It's ready, Boss.
My father will never go into distribution, regardless of what I say or do.
There's no alternative, but to kill him.
I've already set up a bomb.
As you can see, your son did not betray you.
I was the one who made that recording so you would think Roberto tried to kill you.
You killed your son in vain! My father will never go into distribution, regardless of what I say or do.
There's no alternative, but to kill him.
I've already set up a bomb.
That attack should have been on me, not him.
You are a Feeling sick? Do you want me to get somebody? Dora! Mr.
Lamberto is not well! Dora! He grabbed his chest and collapsed.
Lamberto! MEXICO CITY, MEXICO So are you going to hire that woman? The blonde one we waited for outside her office? Jimena.
- Yes, I'd like to.
- Yeah.
She surely would love it, too.
I mean, why not? Who wouldn't like to work in an office as important as yours? You put me on a trial period, too.
It was a joke, for God's sake! So, will you stay as my driver? Well, as the candle said to the cake the party started! Mister! Check, please.
Chaparro, you and Sapo come with me.
You, in the trucks now.
What a morning, Chaparro! Let's go! Get out of here! Move, kid, move! Lamberto, what's wrong? Darling, look me in the eyes! Lamberto, look at me! Lamberto, don't leave me! Lamberto! - Darling, my love, don't leave me.
- Boss.
I'll get a truck to take him to the hospital! Hurry up! Darling, look at me.
- Stay with me.
- Miguel, he cannot I don't understand! Miguel cannot find out Roberto.
I swear, love.
He will never find out.
I swear! Darling, no! Please, don't leave me! My love, darling.
