- Shit.
They're using the fence as a shooting gallery.
Alice Reed's? And her concerned citizen coalition.
Cops found scripts near the body.
That changes it from target practice to drug running.
He was in Stockton when I was inside.
Some sort of shot-caller.
If Alice is running scripts, she's gonna need a buyer.
This is a military-style execution.
It had to be Cole.
He the guy buying the scripts you guys been picking off? If we don't find a buyer for this heroin soon, Los Olvidados will lose ground.
[GRUNTING.]
It's a tunnel! You need to help your son.
Convince him to flip Emily Thomas.
Because if you don't, everything your sons know and love about you, they're gonna find out is a lie.
You have to dismantle the rebels' rhetoric.
Here's where you can do it.
- The kid that was MIA? - Mm.
He came through.
Who's the nun? That's one of the local Dominicans.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Esta muerta.
Please don't retaliate.
[CRIES OUT.]
Emily.
Em? [ENGINE HISSING.]
[ENGINE REVVING.]
[OPOSSUM GROWLING.]
She okay? Yeah.
Look, she got banged up pretty bad, right? They're running tests.
Hey, hey! Stop, man.
We're making sure there's no internal injuries.
What happened? The Festival de Santa Madre.
Emily got caught up in the chaos, got fucking trampled.
Galindo brought her back here.
- I got to see her, man.
- [SIGHS.]
Dude.
El Jefe and his Latin thugs, man.
They camped out in there.
Please, Franky.
Shit.
Come on.
Are you doing any better? More X-rays.
[INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENT.]
Thank you, beautiful.
Yeah, you owe me, Rogan.
Hi, Ezekiel.
Hey, Rita.
Appreciate this.
No worries.
Just a couple of minutes.
You in pain? Not much.
This was a risk.
I know.
I needed to make sure you were okay.
I am.
It was my fault.
I pushed my way into the crowd.
I don't remember much.
It's all over the news.
They said the rebels murdered a nun.
Yes.
Just doesn't make much sense.
What? Los Olvidados.
Attacking a community that they're trying to save.
They kidnapped my son.
- I know.
- They're fucking dangerous.
Yeah.
They did it to hurt Miguel.
The Galindo family has given a lot of money to the Catholic church.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Okay.
Just let me know if you need me.
Or if you need anything.
EZ.
Have you heard anything about my son? No.
I'm sorry.
I've got to get her down to orthopedics.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Sup, E? Shit went down in Santa Madre last night.
Cartel and the L.
O.
Shit.
Okay, not on the cell.
Meet you in the yard.
[SIGHING.]
[THUD.]
[RADIO PLAYS FAINTLY.]
Pops? That you? You just climb through the fucking window? What the fuck? You wanted to talk? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Mother of exiles The torch of hope In the toss of the tempest Threw us medicine's rope But the brazen giant Within the stride Blocks the golden door To the US of lies Screaming Damn your huddled masses Scrub our floors Cut our grasses I am a wolf A wild cur Cut from the pack With blood on my fur Every howl Marks the dead 'Cause a beaten dog Never forgets Never forgets This was you? And all the bodies? Yeah.
We were gonna leave her at the house, but Seemed a little bit over the top.
You think? Who the fuck are you guys? Lower the weapon.
And sit down.
So [CLEARS THROAT.]
What do you know about me? Angel Ignacio Reyes? Besides your flair for the dramatic, not fucking much.
Got from Dennis you were buying the scripts.
Where is Dennis? With Mama.
Or what's left of her.
Why'd you waste them all? They knew the R.
O.
E.
Then they unraveled.
Became a liability.
Your club got something to move? Not the club.
So it's your own deal.
Stop wasting my time.
Heroin.
Six keys.
97% pure guero.
30 per.
You got them here? You ex-military? Blackwater? Close enough.
We are unfuckable.
Yeah.
I get that.
The H is in Santa Madre.
I can get it here in two hours.
You move your shit through tunnels.
We do.
We might be able to make this work.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
No.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SIGHS.]
Nestor? Si.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Sorry to interrupt.
Thought you should know.
Just saw the prospect walk out of an exam room.
A second later, a nurse wheeled Emily out.
Well.
It's good to know my wife is talking to someone.
[ENGINE REVVING.]
- You're up early.
- Yeah.
You want something? Nah, I'm good.
Not sure I believe that.
Hear about that thing in Santa Madre? The church? The club part of that? No.
But Emily was there.
She got roughed up pretty bad.
Just went to see her.
Jesus.
She's in trouble, Pop.
I know it.
There's not much you can do about that.
Her kid being taken, the feds see it as an opportunity.
Jimenez wants me to turn her.
Bring her in.
The deal I signed off on Everything's upside down.
I never wanted any of this to touch her.
But now it might be the only thing that could keep her safe.
I don't know what to do.
You'd have to tell her everything, son.
It's too big a risk.
She's been a part of Galindo's world for many years.
I'm not saying she's become like him, but she's not the same girl you knew eight years ago.
Yeah.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[ENGINE REVVING.]
Follow us.
Why would I do that? 'Cause you're smart.
Vamos.
This is fucked up.
They're really smart.
We got through to Pablo.
Adelita's in the city letting everybody know it was Galindo who fucked up the church.
Rebels are moving camp again.
I got some news that might take the sting out of this.
Cole paid me a visit.
When? This morning.
At my house.
Brought Alice with him.
Or at least her head.
Serious? Very serious.
You were right.
They're ex-military.
Marines, Special Forces Now they're pretty much venture mercenaries.
They got contacts all over the world.
Hook up buyers and sellers, take a percentage.
That's what he did with Alice's scripts.
Until the crew got sloppy.
We sure we want to be in business with these guys? We already are.
Look, Cole can move all six keys.
All we gotta do is earn a little trust.
- Do him a favor.
- Yeah? How many heads he need? Just one.
Needs to smuggle a friend into the States.
An Afghani national.
No-fly list.
Yeah.
Who the hell is this guy? He's one of the translators.
Nuh-uh.
Dude, anybody eating curry is on the no-fly list.
He's hiding out near the Sonora border.
We pick him up, blindfold him, and bring him home through the underground.
That's a lot of trust.
We got no choice.
This This could be a clusterfuck for Los Olvidados.
Adelita needs that cash.
I'll go with.
No.
You go back to the ranch.
Cover up that hole better.
See where that tunnel leads.
[ENGINES ROARING.]
Got a few hours left in the yard.
Just finish up.
Business as usual.
I'll take the prospect with me.
Yeah.
If he ever fucking gets here.
- How's it going? - Good to see you.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I apologize for the suddenness of my request.
It must be important.
It is, for both of us.
And the person we have in common.
The hospital.
I'm assuming you still have some nostalgic feelings for Emily? We have history.
I know you're aware.
I was worried about her.
Meant no disrespect.
There a reason we're chatting in no-man's-land? It's pretty desolate, isn't it? But once the zoning gets ironed out, I'm gonna buy this lot and all adjacent property.
Over 250 acres.
I have commitments from three big agro companies, both here and in Sonora to base operations out of Santo Padre.
And with that comes housing, retail, schools Gives this economy a heartbeat again.
Puts us on the map.
Michael Corleone.
Capitalism.
Wash the blood off the family money.
Right.
Who are you in that movie? I'm not sure.
As long as it's not Fredo.
[CHUCKLES.]
[SPEAKING LATIN.]
[SPEAKING LATIN.]
Can't be a large percentage of outlaw bikers who speak Latin.
Or cartel leaders saving a migrant town from extinction.
Know, life takes you in so many unexpected directions? I'm guessing this isn't about you and me bonding over dead languages.
No, it's not.
You stay away from my wife, Ezekiel.
Now, with everything that's happened, your presence only complicates things more.
That understood? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Good.
Well, because next time it won't be a polite conversation.
- Mayor.
- Miguel.
Glad you could make it out.
What's going on, brother? Thought you were heading out this morning.
I am.
I talked to Devante Cano this morning.
He gave me this.
Leader of Los Olvidados.
- It is a woman.
- She looks like a kid.
We'll keep our eyes open.
Yeah, for now, only the eyes in this room, until you're convinced your charter is Judas-free.
Yeah.
Okay.
Who saw you at the hospital? I don't know.
It was stupid, little brother.
You got to stay away from Emily.
You can't stir shit up with Galindo.
Not now.
I'm sorry.
She just She triggers shit, man.
It's like I'm acting on it before I even know what the fuck I'm doing.
Chicks.
Look, I know keeping this kid thing from her breaks you in half.
I get it.
But there was nothing that you could have done to stop what happened at the church.
I could tell her the truth.
Yeah, tell her you're in bed with the crew that kidnapped her son.
That'll win her back.
We lock this shit down today, we're one step closer to pushing out Galindo.
The club wins.
We win.
Then it's all just putas and plata.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
Okay, Pitbull.
Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Gracias.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Thought the rebels get by on the shit they borrow and steal.
Why does Adelita need all this cash? Next phase of the plan.
Which is? I just get a little piece at a time.
When she was a kid she saw her whole family get hacked to pieces.
She's got some trust issues.
Yeah.
Chicks, man.
Should be at the end of the block.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
Stop here.
Stop here.
This has gotta be it.
[DOG BARKING.]
[LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING.]
Red door.
Whose place is this, anyway? I didn't ask.
[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Arriba los manos! Shit.
Americans.
Fantastic.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
What the fuck is this? [BOTH GRUNTING.]
In this country, you respect the badge.
My wife was supposed to fly back to Kabul two days ago.
But there were complications with the pregnancy.
The couple that owns the house, I asked them to call a doctor.
The doctor was very, very suspicious.
They called the Policia Estatal.
Their commander, he He threatened to kill all of us.
You are brothers.
I like that.
Family.
We are like family too.
This woman needs food and water.
Or she's gonna lose her family.
Your friend there.
The terrorist.
He's not our friend.
And he's not a fucking terrorist.
We were just sent to bring him back.
So now you go to the people that sent you.
Tell them if they want this not-a-terrorist and his pregnant not-a-terrorist wife, it will cost them $100,000 American.
Are you fucking kidding me? No, rude brown Yankee.
I do not kid.
Thank you.
If we send this one, he may never come back.
This one has heart.
He will come back for his brother.
What the fuck does that mean? You have till morning.
You're not back with the money, by the time I finish my café de olla, I will kill all of them.
Hurry up, Ezekiel.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Yeah.
Shit went south with the pickup.
State police were waiting for us.
Holding the Afghani and Angel hostage.
They want 100,000 by morning.
Jesus.
Do you know how to reach Cole? Only Angel's got the number.
Fuck.
I can put together some of the cash.
I just don't know where I'm gonna get the rest.
Where you at now? About, uh, a half hour from the border.
Okay, stay there, I got to make a call.
I'll tell you where to meet.
Everything okay, Coco? Handle this shit, Chucky.
Where's Coco off to in such a hurry? I don't know, Obispo.
He got a call, seemed upset.
I'm worried about our Johnny "Coco" Cruz.
Why is that? I think he's going through a crisis.
I saw him yesterday at the Olympic Diner.
He was arguing with a woman and he chased after her.
What woman? Young.
Latina.
Was this her? I don't know.
Maybe.
I was just driving by and singing.
I like to sing when I drive.
No particular genre.
What time yesterday, Manos? Afternoon.
I was picking up the copper contracts at El Centro.
All right.
Thanks.
Yesterday afternoon.
When he said he was watching Alice's place.
See where he's going.
We all good, Primo? Yeah, yeah.
Just yard stuff.
I'll stay in touch with Devante.
Try to keep Galindo's head in the game.
Let me know what happens here, huh? I will.
Safe trip.
Fucking hate this.
Beer.
The hell you doing here? Passing through.
You don't pass through El Centro.
You drive around.
The mill said you'd be here, having lunch.
Yeah.
What do you want, Felipe? Saw your boy yesterday.
Made me think maybe we should catch up.
Got nothing to say about my boy.
Didn't tell me about your grandkids.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
It was a simple pick-up.
Just take the guy through the tunnels.
The state police, they can be more brutal than the cartel.
Even if you were to find the money, they'd just take it and still kill everyone.
If we don't try something, that'll happen for sure.
This buyer is for real.
We got to make this deal work.
Fuck the buyer.
Angel is there because of you.
He needs your help.
What do we have to do to get that? Do I slit my throat? Throw acid on his face? Don't you dare to compare this.
He's my fucking brother.
I'll do whatever I have to do.
The heroin.
We can use that instead of the cash, I mean, they're dirty cops, right? They could unload it on the streets.
I know this heroin gets you the money you need.
But you need Angel more.
Please.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Go find Pablo.
[GRUNTING.]
[MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND.]
Oh, shit.
- You looking for Vicki? - Nah.
Hey, Gilly.
- What's going on? - Not much.
Didn't know you were gonna be here.
Just come and get the cripple.
You crawl here? Nah.
I'm gonna clean up real quick.
Maybe get me a quick blowy.
Where's his ride? I don't know.
[KNOCKING.]
I hear you're being discharged.
Yes.
Discharged usually requires opening the door.
One minute.
Please.
Do you know the Mexican fairytale, The Forbidden Room? La Camara Prohibida? Really? You want to share a fairytale? I'm not the enemy, Emily.
I think sometimes you see me as the man behind the curtain, pulling strings.
I assure you every decision I make, every word of advice I give, is in the best interest of this family.
Your input about the rebels was very smart.
And very effective.
But you have to understand that if you want to be a part of that, you can't pick and choose what you like.
You accept all of it or you walk away from it.
Anything else will undermine what Miguel has to do.
I know my husband can be ruthless.
I saw that side of him before we were married.
But he has a brilliant mind and a compassionate heart, and those traits have always balanced out the familial instincts.
Kept him even.
He knew who he was in both worlds.
And that - has shifted? - Yes.
Since Cristobal was taken that balance is gone.
Miguel swings between volatile rage, wanting revenge, and then he crashes.
Becomes inconsolable.
He may put on that rey del cartel mask for his men, but I see what's happening.
His markers have all been moved.
So right now it doesn't matter if I accept or walk away from anything.
My husband is lost, Devante.
And I don't know what to say.
Or how to help.
You're bold, Emily.
Truth is, sometimes a little too bold for my comfort.
But that's my problem.
Miguel loves that side of you.
And I understand why.
I know how brutally painful this has been for you.
But you need to talk to him.
Tell him everything.
Secrets kill love.
Trust me on that.
John only had it half-right.
The truth doesn't set you free.
The ugly truth does.
Miguel cannot be the man he needs to be without you.
Let us know when you're ready to leave.

- It's almost 100% pure.
Could step on it a half-dozen times.
It's over 100K on the street.
And if you are drug lords, then where's the cash? We found the heroin.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Yeah? Hey, I followed Coco to the warehouse.
I walked the tunnels I'm not sure which exit he took.
You want me to wait here? Uh, no.
- Come on back.
- He's back.
Welcome home, Creep.
Thanks, brother.
Where's Coco? No idea.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Their heroin is pure.
I will accept it as payment.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
However, you, I take with me.
Fuck that.
You got paid.
- Aha.

[CHUCKLING.]
We made it, man.
[ARABIC GREETING.]
And look at you.
Get them to the truck.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- So much.
- You saved us.
Damn.
We didn't know any of that shit went down in Sonora.
I know.
Glad it all worked out.
I can get you 50K.
For each of those keys.
That's that's great, man.
Thank you.
You treat us good, we'll treat you better.
You treat us bad We'll treat you worse.
[WET THUD.]
I'll be in touch.
You think I can get my dick in her mouth? Jesus.
You really need help, man.
Come on, like you guys weren't thinking the same thing? [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
You in need of high-end scrap, mayor? What is it? Had a meeting with Galindo today.
The border property.
He said that if I didn't amend the zoning restrictions, fudge the PA shit He threatened to hurt you? No, he said he would take the project out of the county.
Santo Padre would get nothing.
All the shit that I've done, all the rules that I bent to make this happen Give it a minute.
Galindo's dealing with a family thing.
He might be overreacting to shit.
What the fuck does that mean? His son was kidnapped last week.
The rebels.
He's unglued.
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry you keep catching the heat of this.
What happens if Galindo's kid is Shit.
If this guy comes unhinged I know.
Hey.
I'll let you know how it plays out.
Hey.
I got you, Antonia.
Jefe.
Where you boys been? Ah, just bullshitting.
Stuff at the house.
You left in a hurry, Coco.
Yeah, my girl, her pipe broke out of place.
Had to bail her out.
She can't swim? [ALL LAUGHING.]
Keep Coco close.
Angel, too.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
The guy with the freaky hands let me in.
I I just thought it best I wait inside.
Yeah, of course.
How'd you get here? Franky.
He's waiting for me around the corner.
I know I shouldn't be here, I - No, it's - I just I can't shake this feeling, EZ.
What's going on? When you went inside Shut me out The abortion I did it out of spite.
No, Em.
Yeah, I was an idiot.
You had to take care of yourself.
I did it to hurt you.
I used it to hurt you.
Cristobal being taken, I can't help but feel it is my fault, it is my punishment for what I did to you.
For what I [SOBBING.]
It's not your fault.
God, it's not on you.
I don't know who I am anymore, I don't I'm here.
Em I have to tell you something.
[DOOR CREAKING.]
Shit.
Sorry.
Franky's waiting, so I should I should go.
Emily! - What are you doing? - She came to me.
- Even worse.
- She's all fucked up, Angel.
That's not your worry.
And that's not your call! When we finish this thing with Adelita, you can go tear up all the high school pussy you want.
But until then, seeing her? It's a bad fucking idea.
Don't do it.
- Sorry, Mom.
- Sorry.
I was a fat little fucker.
[CHUCKLING.]
I hear you About Emily.
I got your back, Angel, no matter what.
I know.
I got you too, hermanito.
[CHUCKLING.]
I gotta call Adelita.
Let her know we got a buyer.
You and Adelita.
Nothing.
We're just business partners.
What are you doing here? I visited your old man today.
My why? I wanted to feel closer to family.
My real name is Ignacio Cortina.
I was an inspector.
División Antidrogas Federales.
Late '70s, early '80s.
My partner and I We did some very bad things for some very bad people.
Jesus.
I've done everything in my power To keep myself and my family from that life.
Please don't make me become that man again.
Don't fuck with my family.
Or I'll ruin you.
And everything you love.
What are you talking about? Hey, Felipe! [PHONE BUZZING.]
Fuck.
Where have you been? Had to clear my head.
Took an Uber.
[SOFT ACOUSTIC GUITAR.]
You're smoking a lot.
Where did you go? I just needed to be alone for a while.
Alone with EZ.
I know he came to the hospital this morning.
Just for a minute.
He heard what happened.
It was nothing.
Please don't get into strangers' cars.
We don't Uber.
Why don't you just make a list of what I can and can't do? I need to know where you are so I can keep you safe.
As safe as you kept Cristobal? Why couldn't you keep our son safe? He was with his mother.
I thought he was safe.
I was wrong.
You let them take my son.
Take that back.
The truth can't be taken back.
[CRIES OUT.]
[SHRIEKING.]
You gonna beat me, Jefe? Like your daddy used to beat Dita? - Don't.
- Or what? You gonna cave my head in with a baseball bat? Am I Galindo's little puta? [GRUNTING.]

Emily got caught up in the chaos, got fucking trampled.
Galindo brought her back here.

El Jefe and his Latin thugs, man.

What? Los Olvidados.
Attacking a community that they're trying to save.
They kidnapped my son.
- I know.
- They're fucking dangerous.
Yeah.
They did it to hurt Miguel.
The Galindo family has given a lot of money to the Catholic church.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Okay.
Just let me know if you need me.
Or if you need anything.
EZ.
Have you heard anything about my son? No.
I'm sorry.

Why'd you waste them all? They knew the R.
O.
E.
Then they unraveled.
Became a liability.
Your club got something to move? Not the club.
So it's your own deal.
Stop wasting my time.
Heroin.
Six keys.
97% pure guero.
30 per.
You got them here? You ex-military? Blackwater? Close enough.
We are unfuckable.
Yeah.
I get that.
The H is in Santa Madre.
I can get it here in two hours.
You move your shit through tunnels.
We do.
We might be able to make this work.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
No.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SIGHS.]
Nestor? Si.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Sorry to interrupt.
Thought you should know.
Just saw the prospect walk out of an exam room.
A second later, a nurse wheeled Emily out.
Well.
It's good to know my wife is talking to someone.
[ENGINE REVVING.]
- You're up early.
- Yeah.
You want something? Nah, I'm good.
Not sure I believe that.
Hear about that thing in Santa Madre? The church? The club part of that? No.
But Emily was there.
She got roughed up pretty bad.
Just went to see her.
Jesus.
She's in trouble, Pop.
I know it.
There's not much you can do about that.
Her kid being taken, the feds see it as an opportunity.
Jimenez wants me to turn her.
Bring her in.
The deal I signed off on Everything's upside down.
I never wanted any of this to touch her.
But now it might be the only thing that could keep her safe.
I don't know what to do.
You'd have to tell her everything, son.
It's too big a risk.
She's been a part of Galindo's world for many years.
I'm not saying she's become like him, but she's not the same girl you knew eight years ago.
Yeah.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[ENGINE REVVING.]
Follow us.
Why would I do that? 'Cause you're smart.
Vamos.
This is fucked up.
They're really smart.
We got through to Pablo.
Adelita's in the city letting everybody know it was Galindo who fucked up the church.
Rebels are moving camp again.
I got some news that might take the sting out of this.
Cole paid me a visit.
When? This morning.
At my house.
Brought Alice with him.
Or at least her head.
Serious? Very serious.
You were right.
They're ex-military.
Marines, Special Forces Now they're pretty much venture mercenaries.
They got contacts all over the world.
Hook up buyers and sellers, take a percentage.
That's what he did with Alice's scripts.
Until the crew got sloppy.
We sure we want to be in business with these guys? We already are.
Look, Cole can move all six keys.
All we gotta do is earn a little trust.
- Do him a favor.
- Yeah? How many heads he need? Just one.
Needs to smuggle a friend into the States.
An Afghani national.
No-fly list.
Yeah.
Who the hell is this guy? He's one of the translators.
Nuh-uh.
Dude, anybody eating curry is on the no-fly list.
He's hiding out near the Sonora border.
We pick him up, blindfold him, and bring him home through the underground.
That's a lot of trust.
We got no choice.
This This could be a clusterfuck for Los Olvidados.
Adelita needs that cash.
I'll go with.
No.
You go back to the ranch.
Cover up that hole better.
See where that tunnel leads.
[ENGINES ROARING.]
Got a few hours left in the yard.
Just finish up.
Business as usual.
I'll take the prospect with me.
Yeah.
If he ever fucking gets here.
- How's it going? - Good to see you.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I apologize for the suddenness of my request.
It must be important.
It is, for both of us.
And the person we have in common.
The hospital.
I'm assuming you still have some nostalgic feelings for Emily? We have history.
I know you're aware.
I was worried about her.
Meant no disrespect.
There a reason we're chatting in no-man's-land? It's pretty desolate, isn't it? But once the zoning gets ironed out, I'm gonna buy this lot and all adjacent property.
Over 250 acres.
I have commitments from three big agro companies, both here and in Sonora to base operations out of Santo Padre.
And with that comes housing, retail, schools Gives this economy a heartbeat again.
Puts us on the map.
Michael Corleone.
Capitalism.
Wash the blood off the family money.
Right.
Who are you in that movie? I'm not sure.
As long as it's not Fredo.
[CHUCKLES.]
[SPEAKING LATIN.]
[SPEAKING LATIN.]
Can't be a large percentage of outlaw bikers who speak Latin.
Or cartel leaders saving a migrant town from extinction.
Know, life takes you in so many unexpected directions? I'm guessing this isn't about you and me bonding over dead languages.
No, it's not.
You stay away from my wife, Ezekiel.
Now, with everything that's happened, your presence only complicates things more.
That understood? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Good.
Well, because next time it won't be a polite conversation.
- Mayor.
- Miguel.
Glad you could make it out.
What's going on, brother? Thought you were heading out this morning.
I am.
I talked to Devante Cano this morning.
He gave me this.
Leader of Los Olvidados.
- It is a woman.
- She looks like a kid.
We'll keep our eyes open.
Yeah, for now, only the eyes in this room, until you're convinced your charter is Judas-free.
Yeah.
Okay.
Who saw you at the hospital? I don't know.
It was stupid, little brother.
You got to stay away from Emily.
You can't stir shit up with Galindo.
Not now.
I'm sorry.
She just She triggers shit, man.
It's like I'm acting on it before I even know what the fuck I'm doing.
Chicks.
Look, I know keeping this kid thing from her breaks you in half.
I get it.
But there was nothing that you could have done to stop what happened at the church.
I could tell her the truth.
Yeah, tell her you're in bed with the crew that kidnapped her son.
That'll win her back.
We lock this shit down today, we're one step closer to pushing out Galindo.
The club wins.
We win.
Then it's all just putas and plata.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
Okay, Pitbull.
Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Gracias.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Thought the rebels get by on the shit they borrow and steal.
Why does Adelita need all this cash? Next phase of the plan.
Which is? I just get a little piece at a time.
When she was a kid she saw her whole family get hacked to pieces.
She's got some trust issues.
Yeah.
Chicks, man.
Should be at the end of the block.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
Stop here.
Stop here.
This has gotta be it.
[DOG BARKING.]
[LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING.]
Red door.
Whose place is this, anyway? I didn't ask.
[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Arriba los manos! Shit.
Americans.
Fantastic.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
What the fuck is this? [BOTH GRUNTING.]
In this country, you respect the badge.
My wife was supposed to fly back to Kabul two days ago.
But there were complications with the pregnancy.
The couple that owns the house, I asked them to call a doctor.
The doctor was very, very suspicious.
They called the Policia Estatal.
Their commander, he He threatened to kill all of us.
You are brothers.
I like that.
Family.
We are like family too.
This woman needs food and water.
Or she's gonna lose her family.
Your friend there.
The terrorist.
He's not our friend.
And he's not a fucking terrorist.
We were just sent to bring him back.
So now you go to the people that sent you.
Tell them if they want this not-a-terrorist and his pregnant not-a-terrorist wife, it will cost them $100,000 American.
Are you fucking kidding me? No, rude brown Yankee.
I do not kid.
Thank you.
If we send this one, he may never come back.
This one has heart.
He will come back for his brother.
What the fuck does that mean? You have till morning.
You're not back with the money, by the time I finish my café de olla, I will kill all of them.
Hurry up, Ezekiel.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Yeah.
Shit went south with the pickup.
State police were waiting for us.
Holding the Afghani and Angel hostage.
They want 100,000 by morning.
Jesus.
Do you know how to reach Cole? Only Angel's got the number.
Fuck.
I can put together some of the cash.
I just don't know where I'm gonna get the rest.
Where you at now? About, uh, a half hour from the border.
Okay, stay there, I got to make a call.
I'll tell you where to meet.
Everything okay, Coco? Handle this shit, Chucky.
Where's Coco off to in such a hurry? I don't know, Obispo.
He got a call, seemed upset.
I'm worried about our Johnny "Coco" Cruz.
Why is that? I think he's going through a crisis.
I saw him yesterday at the Olympic Diner.
He was arguing with a woman and he chased after her.
What woman? Young.
Latina.
Was this her? I don't know.
Maybe.
I was just driving by and singing.
I like to sing when I drive.
No particular genre.
What time yesterday, Manos? Afternoon.
I was picking up the copper contracts at El Centro.
All right.
Thanks.
Yesterday afternoon.
When he said he was watching Alice's place.
See where he's going.
We all good, Primo? Yeah, yeah.
Just yard stuff.
I'll stay in touch with Devante.
Try to keep Galindo's head in the game.
Let me know what happens here, huh? I will.
Safe trip.
Fucking hate this.
Beer.
The hell you doing here? Passing through.
You don't pass through El Centro.
You drive around.
The mill said you'd be here, having lunch.
Yeah.
What do you want, Felipe? Saw your boy yesterday.
Made me think maybe we should catch up.
Got nothing to say about my boy.
Didn't tell me about your grandkids.
[ROCK MUSIC.]
It was a simple pick-up.
Just take the guy through the tunnels.
The state police, they can be more brutal than the cartel.
Even if you were to find the money, they'd just take it and still kill everyone.
If we don't try something, that'll happen for sure.
This buyer is for real.
We got to make this deal work.
Fuck the buyer.
Angel is there because of you.
He needs your help.
What do we have to do to get that? Do I slit my throat? Throw acid on his face? Don't you dare to compare this.
He's my fucking brother.
I'll do whatever I have to do.
The heroin.
We can use that instead of the cash, I mean, they're dirty cops, right? They could unload it on the streets.
I know this heroin gets you the money you need.
But you need Angel more.
Please.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Go find Pablo.
[GRUNTING.]
[MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND.]
Oh, shit.
- You looking for Vicki? - Nah.
Hey, Gilly.
- What's going on? - Not much.
Didn't know you were gonna be here.
Just come and get the cripple.
You crawl here? Nah.
I'm gonna clean up real quick.
Maybe get me a quick blowy.
Where's his ride? I don't know.
[KNOCKING.]
I hear you're being discharged.
Yes.
Discharged usually requires opening the door.
One minute.
Please.
Do you know the Mexican fairytale, The Forbidden Room? La Camara Prohibida? Really? You want to share a fairytale? I'm not the enemy, Emily.
I think sometimes you see me as the man behind the curtain, pulling strings.
I assure you every decision I make, every word of advice I give, is in the best interest of this family.
Your input about the rebels was very smart.
And very effective.
But you have to understand that if you want to be a part of that, you can't pick and choose what you like.
You accept all of it or you walk away from it.
Anything else will undermine what Miguel has to do.
I know my husband can be ruthless.
I saw that side of him before we were married.
But he has a brilliant mind and a compassionate heart, and those traits have always balanced out the familial instincts.
Kept him even.
He knew who he was in both worlds.
And that - has shifted? - Yes.
Since Cristobal was taken that balance is gone.
Miguel swings between volatile rage, wanting revenge, and then he crashes.
Becomes inconsolable.
He may put on that rey del cartel mask for his men, but I see what's happening.
His markers have all been moved.
So right now it doesn't matter if I accept or walk away from anything.
My husband is lost, Devante.
And I don't know what to say.
Or how to help.
You're bold, Emily.
Truth is, sometimes a little too bold for my comfort.
But that's my problem.
Miguel loves that side of you.
And I understand why.
I know how brutally painful this has been for you.
But you need to talk to him.
Tell him everything.
Secrets kill love.
Trust me on that.
John only had it half-right.
The truth doesn't set you free.
The ugly truth does.
Miguel cannot be the man he needs to be without you.
Let us know when you're ready to leave.

It's over 100K on the street.
And if you are drug lords, then where's the cash? We found the heroin.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]

[PHONE BUZZING.]
Yeah? Hey, I followed Coco to the warehouse.
I walked the tunnels I'm not sure which exit he took.
You want me to wait here? Uh, no.
- Come on back.
- He's back.
Welcome home, Creep.
Thanks, brother.
Where's Coco? No idea.
[PHONE BUZZING.]

Their heroin is pure.
I will accept it as payment.

However, you, I take with me.

[CHUCKLING.]
We made it, man.
[ARABIC GREETING.]
And look at you.
Get them to the truck.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- So much.
- You saved us.
Damn.
We didn't know any of that shit went down in Sonora.
I know.
Glad it all worked out.
I can get you 50K.
For each of those keys.
That's that's great, man.
Thank you.
You treat us good, we'll treat you better.
You treat us bad We'll treat you worse.
[WET THUD.]
I'll be in touch.
You think I can get my dick in her mouth? Jesus.
You really need help, man.
Come on, like you guys weren't thinking the same thing? [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
You in need of high-end scrap, mayor? What is it? Had a meeting with Galindo today.
The border property.
He said that if I didn't amend the zoning restrictions, fudge the PA shit He threatened to hurt you? No, he said he would take the project out of the county.
Santo Padre would get nothing.
All the shit that I've done, all the rules that I bent to make this happen Give it a minute.
Galindo's dealing with a family thing.
He might be overreacting to shit.
What the fuck does that mean? His son was kidnapped last week.
The rebels.
He's unglued.
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry you keep catching the heat of this.
What happens if Galindo's kid is Shit.
If this guy comes unhinged I know.
Hey.
I'll let you know how it plays out.
Hey.
I got you, Antonia.
Jefe.
Where you boys been? Ah, just bullshitting.
Stuff at the house.
You left in a hurry, Coco.
Yeah, my girl, her pipe broke out of place.
Had to bail her out.
She can't swim? [ALL LAUGHING.]
Keep Coco close.
Angel, too.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
The guy with the freaky hands let me in.
I I just thought it best I wait inside.
Yeah, of course.
How'd you get here? Franky.
He's waiting for me around the corner.
I know I shouldn't be here, I - No, it's - I just I can't shake this feeling, EZ.
What's going on? When you went inside Shut me out The abortion I did it out of spite.
No, Em.
Yeah, I was an idiot.
You had to take care of yourself.
I did it to hurt you.
I used it to hurt you.
Cristobal being taken, I can't help but feel it is my fault, it is my punishment for what I did to you.
For what I [SOBBING.]
It's not your fault.
God, it's not on you.
I don't know who I am anymore, I don't I'm here.
Em I have to tell you something.
[DOOR CREAKING.]
Shit.
Sorry.
Franky's waiting, so I should I should go.
Emily! - What are you doing? - She came to me.
- Even worse.
- She's all fucked up, Angel.
That's not your worry.
And that's not your call! When we finish this thing with Adelita, you can go tear up all the high school pussy you want.
But until then, seeing her? It's a bad fucking idea.
Don't do it.
- Sorry, Mom.
- Sorry.
I was a fat little fucker.
[CHUCKLING.]
I hear you About Emily.
I got your back, Angel, no matter what.
I know.
I got you too, hermanito.
[CHUCKLING.]
I gotta call Adelita.
Let her know we got a buyer.
You and Adelita.
Nothing.
We're just business partners.
What are you doing here? I visited your old man today.
My why? I wanted to feel closer to family.
My real name is Ignacio Cortina.
I was an inspector.
División Antidrogas Federales.
Late '70s, early '80s.
My partner and I We did some very bad things for some very bad people.
Jesus.
I've done everything in my power To keep myself and my family from that life.
Please don't make me become that man again.
Don't fuck with my family.
Or I'll ruin you.
And everything you love.
What are you talking about? Hey, Felipe! [PHONE BUZZING.]
Fuck.
Where have you been? Had to clear my head.
Took an Uber.
[SOFT ACOUSTIC GUITAR.]
You're smoking a lot.
Where did you go? I just needed to be alone for a while.
Alone with EZ.
I know he came to the hospital this morning.
Just for a minute.
He heard what happened.
It was nothing.
Please don't get into strangers' cars.
We don't Uber.
Why don't you just make a list of what I can and can't do? I need to know where you are so I can keep you safe.
As safe as you kept Cristobal? Why couldn't you keep our son safe? He was with his mother.
I thought he was safe.
I was wrong.
You let them take my son.
Take that back.
The truth can't be taken back.
[CRIES OUT.]
[SHRIEKING.]
You gonna beat me, Jefe? Like your daddy used to beat Dita? - Don't.
- Or what? You gonna cave my head in with a baseball bat? Am I Galindo's little puta? [GRUNTING.]
