A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Do you want something to drink? Waiter!
Everybody freeze or I'll kill you!
Look around, brother!
Quiet down!
- There's nothing! - No.
What?
Okay, dude, come over here. Come! Give me what she gave you.
Give it to me!
He's running away!
There he is!
Get him!
Run!
MADRID, SPAIN
I wanted to show you what I was wearing.
Do you want it back?
Come and get it.
I thought it would be way warmer.
Well, yeah.
Speak of the devil.
- Answer. Let's see what he has to say. - Don't say a word.
Hi, handsome!
You left without a goodbye.
I know, but I did it so you would want to see me even more.
I always want to see you.
But the souvenir you took was too valuable.
I told you what you have to do to get it back.
And what's a trip to Mexico City for such a successful man like yourself?
Money is not a problem.
You said you liked traveling!
- What I lack is time. - Okay.
But, well, someday I'll come.
Yes, anytime you want.
So, in the meantime, take good care of it for me.
I will.
See you soon.
So, everything I did was in vain.
- But he did say he'd come someday. - Yes, Adri, I heard that.
But when?
There!
Fuck!
He's heading north, brother.
North down the 15 towards the 100. Let's go! We're heading over there.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Excuse me.
Oh, no, he was killed.
Attention all units, we have three people killed by gunshots
in Ixtapaluca like those in Xochimilco.
It's in Hornos de Santa Bárbara, around Fresnos.
Available units, please respond.
Let's go.
It's done. Let's go.
Go.
What do you think?
That these are no clashes.
No.
It's too shady, right?
If I had to bet, I'd rather say they are executions.
Right, but in broad daylight?
What can I say? They're poorly planned executions.
Attention all units,
two more victims killed by gunshots
near Cuicuilco, Acueducto and Mazatlán. A Code Red has been issued.
Proceed with caution. I repeat, proceed with caution.
Commander, Unit 20-10 here.
We're continuing with the removal of the three bodies.
What's happening?
That's what I'd like to know.
I need answers!
My city can't just start filling up with corpses
as though it were a morgue.
What's all this about?
Is this a clash between gangs? Are they settling scores?
Who the hell is behind all of this?
According to the information we've gathered, sir,
it seems to be a clash between small-time drug dealers.
They probably belong to Enano's gang.
Small-time or not, it's getting messy.
Okay, what else have you found out?
- Nothing else... - Nothing else?
Nothing? And I'm paying you for this?
Sir, new information about the murders has arrived.
I left it on your desk.
Thank you.
At least someone here does her job.
- I'm going to my office in a minute. - Yes, sir.
If you ask me, sir...
I think somebody is trying to get hold of Enano's territory.
But I'm not asking you.
First, you tell me they're small-time drug dealers,
and now they're trying to get a hold of Enano's territory.
Which one is it?
Think it through and tell me later.
All right.
You heard the man! Move! Find out!
- Yes, sir. - Now!
These images are impressive. Brutal.
Right?
- Thanks. - Congratulations.
Okay, so let's use number 28 for our front page.
- Okay. - And let's use number 65
on the main page.
In that photo it's shockingly clear what they did to the three victims
- in Ixtapaluca. - Yes.
Okay, you choose another three photos to frame the report, okay?
- All right. - Perfect, I'll tell the designers.
Okay, thank you.
Do you have the draft?
Yes.
Here it is.
"Mexico City:
The City of the Dead."
It's impactful, but appropriate.
- I know, right? - Yes.
Thank you. I think it still needs to be fine-tuned,
but it's pretty good overall.
- You can tell me after you read it. - I'll take a look in a moment.
Hey, tell me...
what's your take on this?
I'd say it's a clash over territory.
That's what I was thinking, too.
A new leader, maybe?
Yes. Or someone wants to be noticed, but they won't let him.
You know what I'd like to find out? What Carlos is going to do.
I don't know, but I sense this could be just the tip of the iceberg.
And with that iceberg, we will finally be able to sink his ship.
Good afternoon.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
My name is Miguel Garza.
I'm looking for Kazuo, the Sushiman.
Tadamichi Naga sends his blessings.
Welcome, Miguel.
I'm Kazuo, I was waiting for you.
Pardon my rashness, I'm being followed. Where could we speak in private?
Go around the back. Radio me if anything happens.
You two come with me.
You go over there.
Luis, check in there.
Hello, man!
Hey, we're looking for a slim,
tall guy, short hair, white.
No Spanish. I said no people.
If you don't speak Spanish, what are you doing here?
Did you check over there?
Okay. Did you check back there?
Come here, come along.
Go check in the bathroom.
You come with me.
What do you think?
They're perfect.
Tadamichi will be satisfied.
The men following me want those rocks.
We will give them something in exchange.
These are quality fakes. Take one.
Impossible to notice it at first sight.
Only an expert could.
We use them with millionaire tourists who come to Colombia looking for emeralds.
They'll be useful.
- Got anything? - Nothing.
I told you, no people.
Closed.
The Ching-Chong Chinaman does speak Spanish!
No people.
Just look at him.
Help!
- They're here! - Help me out.
These rocks will reach Tadamichi.
You have my word of honor. You need to get out of here.
Follow me!
Quick!
Thank you.
Good afternoon.
It seems that you've lost something.
How may I help you?
He's coming out the back door!
- Let's go! - Move! He's getting away!
Hurry!
Look, he's there! Freeze, pal!
Down or else I'll shoot you. Down, kneel down!
What's the deal with you, man? We just want to talk!
Yes.
Yes, they're there. I'm so sorry, dude.
This belongs to us, and...
it's nothing personal. You're in the wrong place
at the wrong time...
Oh, pal.
Let's talk, okay?
Get him, quick, pal!
Sorry, it's an emergency.
I'm too tired to do this.
You know what? We have what we want. Let's go.
That dude runs like lightning.
Let's go!
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Hello, Adela!
What's up, George? How's university going?
Good!
Actually, better than I thought.
But now I don't have time.
Well, I used to have a lot of free time, but now I don't have any.
Right now, I have to rush to the office to work with Kenia.
I'm just came to drop off my backpack and all.
Do you want me to take you?
But don't you have to work?
Well, I have to wait for Miguel, but other than that,
I don't have anything to do.
If I learn one more detail about the Kardashians, I'll shoot myself.
The Kardanshans?
The Kardashians, the ones on that TV show. The hot sisters.
No?
Forget it! Leave your stuff and let's get going!
- Okay, I'll be right back. - Wait, where are you taking Jorge?
To the office, to work.
Okay, because I need you to take us to the beauty parlor.
We have an appointment in 20 minutes. So, drop us off first and then Jorge.
No, hold on, wait. You're kind of confused.
I'm not your driver, Chisca.
My brother is paying you and you drive his car.
You drive me, Jorge, whoever.
You're an employee!
Yes, I am an employee, but my only duty is taking Miguel
wherever he wants, not you.
I'm giving Jorge a lift because I like him, but I'm not taking you.
She's been a driver for a few days and she forgot what she used to do.
Actually, no.
- No? - No, I haven't forgotten.
You see, even in my car I was able to deny service to whoever I wanted to.
To people like you, ill-mannered.
I attended a school of etiquette, my dear.
You should get your money back, darling. You got ripped off.
Hey, we can leave immediately if you want.
I'll just leave this here and tell Rosario to put it away.
Okay. Hey!
By the way, there's a great app. You download it and they'll come for you.
Additionally, I'll even give you a code to get a discount.
- Do you know which one it is? - I do.
Okay, let's go. It's getting late.
- See you, sis. - Goodbye, my dear Chisca!
"My dear Chisca"?
Okay.
Hey, my dear George.
What were you dreaming when you had that nightmare?
Which nightmare?
Stop playing dumb.
I really don't know what you're talking about.
Look, I know that it's really hard for you to talk about this,
but not talking about it is worse.
It'll end up making you sick! I don't know, just let it out!
I don't know what you mean. I'm not joking.
Okay, all right.
Hey, may I ask you a question?
Go ahead, I'll see if I answer or not.
I'd like to know what you'd give to a person
you wanted to thank for something.
It depends.
On what?
Is that person a man or a woman?
Oh, it's a woman.
And do you like her?
Well...
You're blushing, my dear George! I saw it in your face, you like her.
Trust me, believe it or not, I can give you some very good advice.
Does the name of that person you like begin with a K and end with Enia?
I don't know. It could be.
It could be
It may look impossible
But it could always be
- What? - Nothing?
Nothing what?
The song.
No, I don't know that one.
Okay, forget it.
It's in your blood.
Hey, that one back there was our street.
No, we're going shopping, my dear George!
It could be
It may look impossible
But it could always be
When we reflect upon the events that have occurred,
one cannot help but wonder if they are individual clashes,
or if they're a reflection of the incompetence
of our Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Carlos Duarte.
Or even worse,
whether they're the consequence of businesses
he may himself be involved in.
We have to meet right now.
Stupid idiot.
Look, you did everything you could.
Clearly it wasn't enough because he got the best of the bargain.
I don't think it'll stay that way. You're smarter than he is.
Not smart enough because nothing went the way I wanted it to.
What you need to do is forget about your fear.
Do you think I'm afraid?
I'm not afraid of anything, of no one.
He just...
disgusts me.
You have no idea what it was like to have him on top of me.
I do have an idea.
I mean...
- I can imagine. - No, you don't.
What I mean is you still feel vulnerable when you talk to him.
One could see it a little when you talked with him on the phone.
You have to convince him to do what you want.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Okay, what if we see what he's doing right now?
Yes, I'm getting the laptop.
Give me mine, okay?
There he is.
What's he doing?
He's in his closet.
He's getting his clothes.
Yes, he's packing or something, right?
He's packing!
Valentín,
I've been thinking about it and I don't know what happened to us.
I don't know why we act like this all the time.
I don't know what to tell you.
Well, maybe...
we could start all over, am I right?
Please, let's talk about it later. Isabel, I don't have time.
Always for later.
I'm off to Rome in a few hours.
Rome? To Rome?
I'm telling you...
Are you coming?
Sure!
Trust me, man! She'll love it!
What do I do if she doesn't?
You're not trusting me.
I don't know, it's just that I don't like doing things
without knowing what the result is going to be.
Oh, right. What's the point, then?
I don't know, I get nervous. I don't...
Okay, Jorge, calm down. Nothing bad will happen, really.
This is just part of life, so get used to it.
Especially for us.
Look, you'll never know how we women will react.
It'd be better not to give it to her.
Okay, hold on.
Sorry.
You're a good person, Jorge.
She'll like your gesture, getting something for her,
more than the present itself. Get it?
Yes.
Hey, Adela.
I like what you call me, George.
Nobody's given me such a cool nickname.
So you'll be George from now on. My dear George.
Hold on.
Miguel?
Hello, Adela.
Miguel, thank God you're all right. Where were you?
Yes, I'm all right. Don't worry.
Don't worry? You have no idea how worried we've been!
We called you 1,000 times!
I saw that.
And why didn't you answer? What happened?
Tell them there's no need to worry about me now.
Is that really all you have to say?
Yes, for the moment at least. I'll explain when I arrive.
And when will that be?
I'm on my way to the airport.
I'll tell you when we're about to take off,
so you can pick me up.
Okay.
All right. But in return I want a little bit of adrenaline.
I promise we'll do something fun upon my return.
How fun exactly?
I mean, I want to be ready.
I don't know. Whatever you want.
Oh, don't say that.
My imagination takes off and there's no stopping it!
Right now, I'm taking Jorge to the office.
Do you want me to tell them you're all right?
Tell everybody that I have good news.
I will.
Have a good flight.
Thank God! You brother is well, and he's coming.
Hey, so, if you liked somebody,
would his name begin with an M and end with Iguel?
What was this play on words you did in the car?
Well, well, well.
So, you do understand my sense of humor. You just play dumb when it suits you.
This kid is more brave than cute.
Come on, let's go.
You cheeky boy.
Cheeky.
And that gift?
Don't be shy.
Hello!
- What's up? - Miguel has just called.
Oh, right. He called Adela, too.
Right?
Oh, you're so funny!
- Move it, get to work, go. - See you.
- See you later. What are you up to? - Nothing.
- I'll tell you later. How are you? - I'm all right.
- Too much to do? - Miriam.
- Yes? - Could you make some copies
of these documents?
- Sure, Ms. Jimena. - Thank you.
Miguel called me.
He told me to tell everybody that he's coming back from Bogotá
with some really good news.
Yes, I talked with him, too.
Actually, we agreed to talk more often.
Oh, right.
Look!
Speaking of...
Could you give me a second?
Hello?
Yes, all right. I'll be here.
Actually, your driver has just told me you have some news.
Really?
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Hello.
Miguel is all right, okay? In case you wanted to know.
Are you okay?
I'm perfect.
Do you need anything?
No, I don't need anything, Adela.
Calm down, all right?
I'm asking because you don't look well. Don't be like that.
Come on, don't start with me, okay? I beg of you.
You cry when you're alone, Jorge screams about his nightmares.
What's the deal with you?
You have no right to mess with us just because you live in this house.
Okay?
It's crystal clear there's no way I can get closer to you.
But with Jorge it's different.
What do you mean by that?
He needs help.
Jorge is just fine.
He can't even sleep! How can he be just fine?
Look, Jorge has had those nightmares since childhood. Okay, Adela?
Ever since the attack.
All the more reason. Logically, it must mean something.
Logically! Do you think that I don't know that?
So?
Look, girl. If he hasn't told me anything about his nightmares,
it's because not even he knows what they mean.
Then help him, girl. You're his sister.
That's right, I'm his sister.
And you're nobody.
Mind your own business.
That's what I get for being nosy.
What's your plan tonight, Kenia?
What plan?
Where are we going?
I'm going to bed. I don't know what you'll do.
I wanted to ask you out for some beers, but you're more boring than Jimena.
Do you really think I don't like beer?
You don't like beer, you don't like coffee, you don't like going out.
You're weirder than me, girl!
That's an overstatement, dude.
Okay, I'm leaving.
This weird woman is going to get some rest.
It's not my problem, you take care of that.
As soon as possible.
We'll be in touch soon.
We've talked about this so many times.
- The deal is clear. - It's not a cocktail!
- Okay, sorry. - I deeply respect your family.
You know that. You are more than partners.
This one is yours.
I like that it's clear for us that loyalty is over money.
- What's he saying? - I don't know. It's Italian.
- We are not like the others. - Italian? Gosh, I don't get a word.
- I know! Me neither. - Okay.
Hey, did you notice that the necklace is the same color as my dress?
It's nice. And it's the same hue as my eyes, too.
My eyes are a little bit more olive green, but this looks very good anyway, right?
Is it really as expensive as you say?
It looks awesome, obviously. But I don't know...
Anyway, I don't usually wear necklaces, no.
But I think I would wear this one, really.
I love it. May I borrow it? When is he coming?
I mean, I could use it.
Adri!
Okay, sorry.
Who owes us money?
Rigoberto Batista.
I don't know that one.
He's the one from Arizona!
Damn gringos, they're all the same! This one wants to play us for fools.
According to him, he was used to dealing with Lamberto.
Oh, really?
Well, now he'll have to get used to someone new.
He said he won't give us a penny until he speaks with Lamberto's grandson.
I'm not bothering Miguel for some little issue.
Get him on the line.
- I don't think that's a good idea. - Get him on the line!
TRAFFICKER FROM ARIZONA
Mr. Batista.
Who is this?
I'm Dora Perdomo, the widow of Lamberto Garza.
I'm calling you about a debt you have with us.
Ma'am, I've already talked to your accountant.
If you have any doubts, talk with him.
Actually, I have him right in front of me and I have no doubts.
Pay what you owe us and we keep doing business as usual.
Or else?
Or else face the consequences.
I want to make myself very clear, ma'am.
Like you beaners say,
I only deal with the boss, not with the underlings.
Especially if they're female.
Is that so?
Why is that?
Women are good in only two places,
in bed and in the kitchen.
So, call me again when you have Miguel on the line.
- This damn gringo. - What happened? What did he tell you?
Call him again.
- Dora, I think you should... - Call him again!
Miguel is coming tonight.
We'll be waiting for you.
Thank you.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Tequila? Do you want tequila?
Yes.
Anything else?
No.
Guess who?
What do you want?
I'm back!
Congratulations.
Didn't you miss me?
Chisca, don't be so childish.
Chisca!
What?
Is this your way of saying you're sorry?
What do you think?
- Do you know who Enano is? - Yep.
Why are you asking?
Do you know who's killing his men?
Who other than myself?
I'm going to take over his entire territory.
Do you have any problem with that?
You and I have to understand each other better,
otherwise we'll end up in a mess.
True, but I can't ask you for permission to do everything I want to do!
I'm not telling you to ask for permission.
I'm asking you to let me know what you're doing.
If we don't cooperate, we'll both end up in a mess.
Can't you see?
But if we do cooperate, we'll be unstoppable.
All right.
Just one more thing.
I don't understand what your proposal is.
What you've already begun.
If you take over your competitors' territories,
violence will drop little by little because you'll be in charge
and you'll have them at your feet.
Okay, that is true.
Do you know how my public image will improve
after I put an end to violence in the city?
Sure, you'll look like a hero.
And you'll become the big boss.
That's cool.
Let's work together.
I'll help you get rid of all that street violence.
One last thing.
When you become president, my bribes will be on the agenda, right?
That's the least I expect, Epigmenio.
And so?
Do I have your authorization to continue with my cleanse?
I'm offering you something far better.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
So? What have you found out?
We've only found some unofficial information.
Really? About what?
According to what I've been able to find out,
we're going to find some really tough people.
But you knew from the beginning
it would be dangerous. I don't know why you're surprised.
No, I'm not surprised. It just worries me.
Okay. You have my word that I'll never reveal you
as the source of anything you tell me.
Very good.
We found out something about the murder of Enano's men.
What do you know? Who is behind it?
There's a guy who lives in Ciudad Jiménez.
Ciudad Jiménez?
That's where I'm from. Maybe I know him.
His name is Epigmenio Moncada.
Are you sure?
Yes. Why? Do you know him?
Let's say I've heard of him.
I'm coming!
- Hello, Kenia. - Hello, Jorge.
I just came by to give you this.
For me? Why? I mean, thank you, but why?
Please, don't thank me. I have come to thank you.
What are you thanking me for?
For everything. The university thing and...
everything.
Okay, how nice.
Thanks a lot.
And, Kenia, I wanted to know...
I don't know, if...
- Hello! - Hi!
- Hello, darling. - How are you, my love?
Jorge, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Pilar.
Hello, nice to meet you.
He is a friend from work.
How are you! Nice to meet you.
Please, the pleasure is all mine.
May I turn it down a little?
Do I have a choice?
I can't even hear my own thoughts.
Are you thinking now, Jeremías?
I can see that this trip accomplished one thing:
switching the target.
Maybe it's time to forget about the blond girl.
Look, don't be an idiot, Jeremías!
We found Miguel Garza thanks to Karina.
Yes, we have to focus on him, but we can't lose sight of her.
This Ukrainian woman is our ticket to an aquarium full of big fish,
and I believe that Miguel Garza is the biggest of them all.
What could you be planning now, Mr. Garza?
Well, according to what we've found out, he's laundering money, right?
Everyone here launders money.
- This is something else. - What do you mean?
That's not the main thing.
I'm sure that there's something very dark behind that mask.
Something...
we don't have a clue about.
Really?
I'm certain.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
We found each other and I thought
I'm very happy
Your heart
And I wonder
How are you, my love
As always you are right
Because I never again...
Miguel!
- Hello, sorry. - Hello.
What happened?
Nothing.
It's nice to see you.
I'll take you to a doctor.
- There's no need. - Of course I will.
- Just look at your face! - Come on. Let's go.
- Are you sure? - Let's go.
What did you get yourself into, man? What happened?
It's really cool, Jorge! Thank you very much.
Do you really like it?
- A lot. - I mean, if you don't,
we can exchange it or get a refund and...
No.
Calm down, Jorge!
You have to learn to relax.
You have trouble communicating with people, right?
Don't worry.
You'll learn to relax with us.
Do you have something in mind?
Want to drink something?
Ma'am.
Good evening.
Good evening, Mr. Batista.
Rascal, Guajolote, leave us.
- But ma'am. - Are you sure?
Please.
If you need anything, we'll be outside.
Go.
Have a seat.
I'm here.
Where is your grandson?
He's not here.
- He hasn't arrived yet? - He's not coming.
- But you told me that... - I know very well what I told you.
You had me come in vain!
That's up to you.
Since we're already here, face to face, we may reach an agreement more easily.
I thought I had made myself clear on the phone,
maybe you had to be insulted a bit more to understand
that I have no intention of reaching an agreement with an underling like you.
Good evening.
Look, you fucking gringo,
you either pay your debt or our deal with you ends right now.
And for the moment we'll stop sending our cargo to your ranch
because the El Salado gang has no intention
of maintaining a relationship with you.
You have no idea who you're dealing with!
And it seems that neither do you.
Ángel.
I'm tired.
And what does that mean?
Ángel.
Chisca.
It's always the same!
You come,
make me horny and then leave me like this.
- Don't get mad. - I'm not mad.
- It's always the same, Chisca. - It's not always the same!
I've got jet lag, okay? Please!
Hey.
Let me recover, I promise.
What?
All right, then.
Get some rest.
Chisca!
- I'll call you tomorrow! - Okay!
I've come for you.
