A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Howard. We've been discovered!
Run!
- Yes? - Ronny? I have them.
I've caught sight of them!
- Did you catch the driver? - Two of them, Ronny!
The driver and Miguel Garza.
Miguel Garza?
- Are you sure? - It's got to be Miguel Garza.
Yes, I'm chasing them.
Over here! This is the car.
The keys are there!
Good afternoon, Mr. Arcov.
I did what you asked.
Now let my daughter go.
Your task is not yet done.
We cannot let her go
until you're back in your hotel and we've made sure
that you've stuck to the plan.
Any mistake you make may be doom for your daughter.
Vladimir!
Can you tell me what the hell happened with your tires?
Well, any product can fail.
You assured me that this product was ready to launch.
You told me it had passed all quality tests.
No, that's not true.
I said that this product was in its latter stages,
but not that it was 100 percent done.
You either lied to me before or you're lying to me now.
- Which one is true? - Neither.
It's not a lie!
The tires were not ready for the demonstration.
You pushed me, that's why I agreed.
You never told me this!
But you will no longer have to lie,
I will personally make sure to spread the word about the quality of your work.
You scammer.
In reality, the tire demonstration was but an excuse to have you come.
I'm glad to announce that Novotech
has just bought the Grace engine prototype from Ecogreen.
Novotech is ready to start mass-producing the engine, and that's what we'll do.
If you're ready to invest in our company, the Grace engine is just the first step.
Stay there.
You won't lose me this time.
Come on.
Being a prototype that has passed the highest quality standards,
your risk when investing with us would be minimal.
- Yes. - Sure.
Any other questions?
Howard, are you there?
Yes, I am. I'm following the driver and Miguel.
Miguel Garza is here.
- What? - I'm looking at him.
It can't be. I saw him perfect...
God damn it! God damn it!
He escaped once again!
How did you get Ecogreen to agree to sell the Grace prototype?
When there's a good offer, no company would refuse to sell.
- Congratulations, then. - Thank you.
And you, Miguel?
Will you invest in our company?
More than you'd imagine.
That's good.
This is what I like the most about businesses.
The celebrations.
You'll always be celebrating if you keep working with me.
Oh, Miguel.
Since you don't have a grandma, you have to compliment yourself, right?
So? What are we toasting to?
To the best racing driver I know.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Honestly, I still don't understand all of this very well.
I don't know why you wanted to prove that the tires don't work.
I had to corner them so that they'd look for a quick solution
and buy the Grace engine prototype from our company.
We must let Novotech enjoy their victory and wait for their stock prices to rise.
But the prototype's good
and now it's no longer yours. What's in it for you, then?
Sometimes you have to lose now in order to win twice as much later.
Now stock prices will rise.
But sooner or later, what goes up...
Must come down.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Rosario, I told you. I don't want anything!
- It's me, Jorge! - Come in!
So, how are you feeling?
Much better, thank you.
And thanks.
I don't know what would've happened if you weren't there.
- What's wrong? Are you all right? - Yes, everything's fine.
Could you please give me my cell phone?
Who is it?
- You've got a call. - Oh, no. It's Ángel. I don't want to.
- What? - You answer him. Tell him I'm busy.
Hello, Ángel.
Yes, it's me, Jorge.
No, she's getting some rest.
She's sleeping.
Yes, don't worry. I'll tell her.
Okay. Bye.
Done.
Thank you.
You have to thank Ángel.
He came as soon as I called him. He was doing the right thing.
What do you mean?
What do you think?
Do you want me to tell you the difference between Ángel and Valentín?
Hold on. I don't get it.
Things are not the way they seem to be, okay?
Chisca, whatever you say, the truth is Valentín ran away when it happened.
Yes, he ran for help.
- Didn't seem like it. - I'm saying,
things are not the way they look!
That's what happens when you push things you shouldn't.
He was just like me or worse.
It's just that he's a man...
and I don't know.
Perhaps he wasn't as high as me because he's bigger.
I don't know. I just know that he...
wasn't acting normal.
What did you tell them at the clinic to have me released?
What you would have said, I guess.
Nice one.
So, you don't think I'm cuckoo, that I'm deranged?
I heard you saying that to him!
Yes, sorry.
I have no idea why I say half the nonsense I say.
I really don't get it myself.
But well, in that case, I am cuckoo, right?
Definitely!
- Hey! - What?
No.
There's no proof linking Miguel Garza to the sabotage on Novotech.
There's never proof.
But who knows?
Even the smartest of players make mistakes with enough pressure.
Are we sure we want to use this?
INCOMING CALL
Hello?
Papa, I was released.
My daughter!
Thank God!
You and your mother will go to your grandparents'.
Meanwhile, I'll make sure to take revenge on them for what they did to me.
I love you!
Miguel, come in.
Welcome to my new home.
Thank you.
Let's celebrate the victory we've achieved.
All right! I was already thirsty.
Let me introduce you to Adela, my associate.
Pleased to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Congratulations on your beautiful home!
Well done! You traded snow for sand!
Yes. It's a good place to miss Mother Russia.
I want to make a toast to the success of this deal
and the upcoming ones.
- To us! - To us!
To us!
Cheers to that! And come on.
Make yourselves comfortable here.
Are you thinking about her?
How could you tell?
Believe it or not, I've learned to read you a little bit.
I know that your expression changes when you're thinking about her.
You look relaxed.
And what do you want to know?
Why did you fall in love with her?
People think there must be a reason,
something concrete that makes you fall in love.
There must be something, like your profession...
the music you like...
but no.
You fall in love because...
you fall in love. It's that easy.
Because those souls need each other.
And also because of the little things.
Speaking of the little things,
let's see if you like the music I like.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
We have to make a copy of all of this for Miguel.
Hello!
What are you laughing about?
Nothing, it's just that Kenia told me a joke.
Did you come together?
- No, we met... - We slept together.
That's part of the joke, right?
Did you sleep together?
No.
- But why are you so worried? - No, I'm not worried.
Just be careful with Kenia. She's a bit weird.
Yes.
Hey, Flaco,
you've known Kenia for a long time, right?
Do you know by any chance
if she's been through something traumatic in the past?
Traumatic? How traumatic?
I mean, something bad.
Not that I know of, why?
Nothing, I was just asking.
No? How? It's a classic!
No.
You and I will be together
Regardless of what the world thinks
Always going forward, facing the future
- No? - No.
I can't believe it!
Okay, let's see if you know this one.
- Jorge loved this one as a kid. - Really?
Yes.
What's your question?
How did you know I wanted to ask you?
You always bite your lower lip
when you want to ask me something about my past.
You're not the only perceptive one here! What do you want to know?
The other day I was at home and I heard someone screaming.
It was Jorge.
I went to check on him. He was having a nightmare.
He was very nervous.
He was saying something about your grandfather.
Do you think it has something to do with the attack?
Jorge was little when my parents were killed,
but he was the most affected.
Well, that's not completely true. Actually, we all suffered dearly.
I can imagine.
What do you remember about your childhood?
Before all of this happened.
I remember that my father would take me to the fair by the market in the summer.
The Juárez fair!
- Yes. - No way!
I used to go there as a child!
- Oh, really? - Sure! There were some awesome rides!
- With cartoon characters. - Yes!
I'm telling you. I've been fearless since I was a child.
Do you realize that our lives have been crossing paths for years?
Yes! We were destined to meet.
Yes, maybe.
As we agreed.
Is that all of it?
Half now, and the other half after having finished the job.
Just pretend like it's done. I never fail.
That's why I chose you.
But let me warn you,
I don't play around.
I'll go after my target and anyone who gets in my way.
Do as you please, but do it right.
Can you teach me?
First, you have to close your eyes and feel your breath.
Meditating means finding a moment of peace with yourself and with the world.
Go on. Close your eyes. Do it.
Hey!
Get down! Come with me!
Come here.
- Don't raise your head, stay here. - Yes!
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
The Enano thing went well.
And honoring our agreement, I came to tell you something.
This is how we should've worked from the beginning.
Yeah.
And if everything works out,
we'll not just distribute.
We'll begin producing our own product.
Right.
- That initiative sounds coherent. - Yes.
We're on the right track.
That's just the beginning.
As soon as I have everything set up,
that ching-chong guy won't even know what's happening.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
You'll be my ticket out of here.
Miguel!
Are you all right?
Watch out, there's one more!
We have a good irrigation system.
Plants are only up to two meters high. That way it's easier to harvest them.
Do these people work 24/7?
As they say, they'll rest in heaven.
Oh, man! This looks just great!
You won't regret buying this plot of land.
These plants are young. Should be seven years old.
They still have a lot to give.
Those can be harvested three or four times a year?
That's right. Sometimes even more.
- That's cool. - What's the deal with you?
- I have a headache, sir. - Oh, right. How may I help?
- Shall I blow your head off? - No.
- Then hurry back to work! - Yes, sir.
Well, honestly...
I'm looking for pure quality.
All right! That's what I offer.
You can see it with your own eyes!
This land smells of gold, dude!
How is it?
It's amazing, pal.
And so is that one over there, right?
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Girl!
Come here.
You may do anything. That's what they're here for.
- She's pretty, right? - An inexperienced girl, dude.
Look.
If you buy this land, the girl is yours!
- No. - She's so pretty!
- Look! - No!
Let me go, sir!
- No. - As if!
Shut up!
Don't take too long, pal!
- How about a little bit more? - Have another one!
I'm sure we'll find something somewhere if we keep looking, Héctor.
Are you listening to me? Héctor, are you all right?
No, I'm not all right. This is wrong, very wrong.
What?
The way I'm using Naty's parents. It's wrong.
Really? So, you're feeling remorse. You?
The one seeking the truth, seeking justice?
The murderers shouldn't feel remorse, their partners, but not you?
No, hold on.
Are you comparing me? I don't need you to compare me.
Okay?
This is not about whether I'm doing something more noble than them, okay?
No. This is about not doing things the same way as them.
But you're not doing things the same way, Héctor.
Okay, in any case,
I'm not being honest with Natalia's parents.
In that case, she wasn't either! What's the problem, then?
I don't know.
I just know that...
I'm not comfortable with what I'm doing.
For God's sake.
Okay, look.
You can see this as a chance you're giving them to find out the truth.
How?
- Based on lies? - Oh, Héctor.
I don't know. Based on whatever. Right now, this is not about Naty.
It's not about your sister! It's about all the victims of this war.
Look, listen to me.
This...
is way bigger than us.
I'm leaving.
Where?
I called Carlos Duarte's secretary.
- And... - Juana?
Yes.
- But, Héctor, don't... - Look, she'll give me information.
- Héctor. - We've come this far,
we don't even have clues!
Yes, Héctor, but that's dangerous.
I don't think it's a good idea for you to be near Carlos.
Hey.
Sometimes you have to dive deep in order to catch a shark.
Yes?
Are you all right?
Yeah.
I'm just praying they don't chase us now.
I'm wearing flip-flops. I'll kill myself if I run away.
I'm sorry.
I don't like scaring you with these kind of surprises.
I'm not easily frightened.
- Edgar? What are you doing here? - Miguel.
I've come to deliver an IRS subpoena.
What's that?
The IRS collects taxes here in the US.
And what's this for? What could happen?
If they lack solid proof, nothing.
What if they find something?
In that case, he could go to prison.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Juana?
Hello, I'm Héctor Bernal.
Thank you for coming.
Honestly, I only agreed to come because Mr. Arturo asked me to.
Yes, I know.
And what did he tell you?
That you're writing about the victims of this drug war.
I'm feeling sick just thinking about it.
Yes, I understand. Do you want to take a seat?
Thank you.
Juana.
I know this may be very difficult for you, but...
it's very important that you talk to me about Naty.
What was she like?
Well, she was a very good person.
She was nice to everybody.
She sometimes worked late to help the boss.
And were you good friends?
Yes, sure.
I mean, she didn't tell me much.
At the office, she helped me from the start.
But when I came, I saw him talking with a girl.
She had been working there longer, and the boss trusted her a lot.
Natalia!
Yes, Mr. Secretary?
- Please come up. - Yes.
- The boss is calling me. - Lunch later?
- Yes! - Hurry!
I remember she always looked very nice.
And one day, for my birthday, she even took me shopping.
Did Carlos have much contact with her?
Yes.
She was his personal assistant, his right-hand.
His personal assistant.
What tasks did she perform as his personal assistant?
She managed his schedule, his personal meetings.
Everything from paying bills, to making doctor appointments.
So, she was indispensable for him.
Yes.
And you replaced her?
No. He has an adviser who helps him with that.
Juana...
do you think there was something more between them?
I mean, something beyond what's strictly professional?
I don't know.
The secretary has a family.
Honestly, I don't think so.
I understand.
Did you have lunch?
Yes, I did.
Surely you had no dessert, right?
I can treat you.
I mean, that's the least I can do for giving me so much of your time.
What do you think?
All right.
Now, this is all yours.
Yeah.
I just hope it stays the same way it is right now.
It will, Boss.
Is the girl included, pal?
Courtesy of the house!
That's right, princess!
Just relax, baby.
Okay? Hey, you know what?
Arturo told me that Naty also traveled in and out of the country a lot.
She was the one who traveled.
Hey...
I guess that traveling with your boss must be very weird, right?
And also, boring.
That's something I'd never envy from anybody, ever.
Well, Naty traveled alone a lot, too.
Really?
And what were her most common destinations?
What does it have to do with the article?
Well, I don't know.
I've always thought that the places you visit say a lot about you.
For example, I'm always being sent to the most ugly and boring places.
Just like me.
You're not ugly.
And, well, Naty had to travel to all kinds of places.
She'd go to Acapulco, Guadalajara,
Ciudad Jiménez, Tijuana.
And other places closer. Puebla, Toluca.
There are cities like Paris, but one always ends up in the same places, right?
In the same towns.
Well, I'm planning my vacations.
Hey, I'd like to hear about your vacations.
Look, I have to go now, but we can meet another day and talk.
I can give you tips because although I'm ugly and boring,
well, I know some really beautiful places you can see, okay?
Hey, and do me a favor.
Don't say anything to your boss about my article.
I don't know. I wouldn't want somebody else
to cover this story, you know?
I promise.
Thanks a lot.
Okay, I'll see you later, right?
- Right. - Okay.
Hey, and thanks a lot.
This is one of the first of that kind we've received.
All right.
I'll take it.
- Perfect. Should I wrap it for you? - I'll take it like this. Thank you.
No box either?
What part of "like this" don't you understand?
Welcome!
Please, take a seat.
Welcome.
What should I call you? Ulises Murat?
Howard Toledo, IRS inspector.
I hope you have a good reason for making us come here.
Because you can't use our laws to do whatever you want.
The IRS and I will prove you wrong.
You, Miguel, shouldn't compete against this nation
because if you do, you'll never win.
What would be the solution?
Well, if you want to do your things in peace,
I suggest you adhere to these conditions.
These are not conditions. This is blackmail.
Why so interested in me?
Because you've been marked as a dangerous target.
What's the cut you get for stealing from me?
Stealing? I don't like those words.
What would you call it?
I'm proposing a...
fiscal agreement.
An agreement? For nothing?
There's no proof I did anything.
I know who you are, Miguel Garza.
Do you know? Or is it just what you assume?
You have no idea what I know.
You have nothing, you're bluffing.
If you really had something, we wouldn't be having this conversation,
nor would you have fished around.
Well, I think...
Your banks launder dirty money.
Your senators pass laws to create tax havens here.
You allow yourselves to do things you don't allow others to have.
If I was an American citizen...
But you're not an American citizen!
And your activities are illegal!
I have nothing else to do here.
I'll get the proof, Miguel Garza,
if it's the last thing I ever do.
I'll get used to having a little lap dog following me around, then.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Hello, princess.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine.
- Fine? - Yes, I've slept the entire day.
Close your eyes.
Close them.
What is this?
I stole it for you.
You stole it?
I wanted to feel the adrenaline.
But I didn't feel anything...
because you're my adrenaline.
Beautiful.
Is Miguel home yet?
No.
He's still out.
He's in Miami, right? Or where?
I have no idea.
Good. You'll have more time to recover.
I'm really nervous.
Why are you so nervous?
Because I'm worried that Miguel will find out
about what happened.
Well, Chisca, you have to tell him.
Of course! If Miguel finds out through you,
you'll recover his trust.
And look, you can tell him just as much as you want.
Sure, trust me.
Chisca, what's up?
Miguel. I'm all right, how are you?
Do you need something?
I just wanted to tell you something.
I had a problem and I'd prefer that you found out about it from me.
Go ahead.
I was drinking here at home.
I drank too much, and Jorge took me to the hospital.
Were you with someone?
Yes.
With Ángel.
I'm coming back immediately.
Hold on. I don't want you to come back immediately.
I do want you to come back.
I was just telling you because I wanted you to find out
from me, okay?
I want to do things right.
I'm glad to hear that.
Now, take care, get some rest and I'll see you when I return.
Thanks for telling me the truth.
When are you coming back?
- Tomorrow. - Are you still in Miami?
- Yes, why? - I just wanted to know.
- Take care. - Okay. Goodbye.
See? That was awesome.
- Really? - Of course!
Come on, trust me. Can't you see? I know Miguel better.
I'm going to help you to build a better relationship.
Relax, come on.
- Do you like it? - Yes!
- Yes? - Yes.
I love it.
I'm so happy that you're back home.
Honestly, I was starting to feel like I had Empty Nest Syndrome.
Oh, well. You'll recover in no time!
What's up, Peligros?
Well...
Excuse me.
- Welcome back, Boss. - Thank you.
How's everything?
Everything's all right.
What's wrong?
You know that I can't hide anything from you.
It's Chisca.
Don't worry. I've already told him.
Yes, that's true. I've been informed. Thank you.
Excuse me, Boss.
I'm glad to see you're well.
Valentín.
- It was you, right? - What?
You convinced Chisca to tell me what had happened.
Tell me the truth...
were you with her that night?
Miguel! Me? How could I have?
Chisca wouldn't have gone through that with me.
Sorry, it's just that...
Forget it. Thank you for convincing her to call me.
Please, Miguel. Come on. I did it because I love you both.
I know, and that's why I wanted to tell you
that Chisca and I are on better terms because of you.
I did it from the bottom of my heart.
- Peligros! - Yes, Boss?
I don't want this Chisca situation to repeat itself.
Make sure nobody in town sells anything illegal to her.
- Otherwise, they'll deal with me. - Consider it done.
Adela!
- Hello, Miriam. - Good morning!
This trip was awesome, but we have to get back to work, don't we?
Congratulations, Adela.
We've heard about your extraordinary victory.
It was awesome, right?
Just like Jimena's job.
The Grace blueprint prototype thing was great.
- Thank you. - It's time to see how the market reacts.
- Care to join me? - Yes, sure.
Excuse me.
Of course.
Okay. Tell me, how's it going?
- Miguel, I'm so glad to see you. - Welcome to the show!
Shall we begin?
Let them rise a bit more.
Come in, Boss.
Open it!
Go ahead, Boss.
Close the door.
- What's up, kids? - What's up?
Dad! How are you?
- Well. - How are they treating you?
- I'm being treated like a king in here. - Really?
Hey, Dad. We did as you asked. We met Epigmenio and we took the money.
We went to the jungle with him and we bought the plantation.
I have no problem here.
I hope you don't have problems either.
No. Look, Aunt Julia cooked this for you.
- Look. - Hold on, son.
I have to tell you something important.
I need you to get in touch with somebody who is in a very good position.
Who?
His name is Miguel Garza. I want you to start making deals with him.
Yes, Dad. Anything you say.
- Okay. What did Aunt Julia send me? - Green enchiladas.
- That's tasty. - Nice! Perfect.
Now.
Groundbreaking Novotech engine may be flawed
according to performance tests.
Novotech's stock prices are plummeting.
Get ready to buy.
I missed your magic.
It's good to be back.
They're at 20.
- Let's buy. - No, wait.
- Now? - No. Buy when their stocks reach seven.
Do you want to let them fall so much? They'll level off at ten.
They won't. People are panicking. They want to get rid of them.
- Seven. - Buy.
It seems that we have a new company and an excellent engine.
Excuse me, Mr. Garza. There's a call for you.
Miguel Garza?
It's Fernando Pacheco.
I'm calling you to make a deal.
Right.
I've been told good things about you.
Okay, I'll see you here.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
